A few days later, Qiantang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qian Yuanqian and the envoy of Wu State were sitting opposite each other.

"I heard that Gong Qian went north to the Central Plains last year, I don't know if you have ever seen the Lord of the Central Plains?" It was the envoy of Wu who spoke, young and heroic, and it was Lu Jiang.

"Since you are going north to the Central Plains, how can you not see Your Majesty?" Qian Yuanqian showed a look of reminiscence, "Your Majesty is extraordinary, and I still feel nostalgic when I think about it to this day." ”

Lu Jiang's face was calm, and he didn't argue with Qian Yuanqian about some useless things, "Now that the Central Plains has marched into Jianghuai and besieged Yangzhou for a long time, its troops have already threatened Jiangzuo, I don't know what Qian Gong thinks?" ”

Qian Yuanqian smiled, but his words were quite sharp, "Wu State wants to recover the land of Jianghuai, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”

"If my Great Wu can't recover the land of Jianghuai, what will happen in the future?" Lu Jiang said unhurriedly, his eyes looking at Qian Yuanqian tightly.

Qian Yuanqian said without hesitation: "In time, the imperial court will definitely cross the river and go south, and I am afraid that the Wu Kingdom will not be protected at that time." ”

"Wu Guo is not guaranteed, I don't know if Qiantang can be guaranteed?" Lu Jiang competed against each other.

Qian Yuanjun's smile didn't see the depth, "Qian Tang is a minister of the imperial court, how can he say that he is self-preservation?" ”

Lu Jiang said hesitantly: "King Wu Yue uses the golden book, makes the golden seal, and the etiquette on weekdays all follow the imperial system, I heard that the lord of the Central Plains is the most important monarch and minister, I don't know if Li Siyuan may endure it?" ”

Qian Yuanqian looked at Lu Jiang, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he still looked calm, "My king guards the southeast for the imperial court, and the imperial court commends me for my hard work, and gives me gold seals and gold books, doesn't Duke Lu know about this?" ”

Lu Jiang smiled and said: "I have heard that Qian Gong is full of poetry and books, and is resourceful, can Qian Gong teach me that since ancient times, how many people can start and finish well with the things of the people who are ministers and use the things of the masters?" ”

Qian Yuanjun's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam, but there was no pause in his mouth, "At this time and that time, Your Majesty has the ambition to clear the universe, since I am allowed to use the gold seal of the gold book, how can I lose my trust in the world, and then ask my king for this matter?" ”

"Is that really the case?" Lu Jiang smiled unpredictably, "The previous time Qian Gong went north to the Central Plains, I don't know if the lord of the Central Plains promised Qian Gong and was willing to let Qian Gong inherit the throne?" ”

Without giving Qian Yuanqian a chance to quibble, Lu Jiang continued: "At present, Jiangnan is not peaceful, and the lord of the Central Plains still has more places to rely on King Wu Yue. ”

Qian Yuanqian said coldly: "Duke Lu spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he is not ashamed!" ”

Lu Jiang saw that Qian Yuanjun's expression had finally changed, and he knew that his words had finally worked, and he didn't care about the other party's words, and said in a sincere tone: "There is a certain word, it is for Qian Gong's discussion, I don't know if Qian Gong is willing to listen to it?" ”

Qian Yuanqian knew that he was speechless, and saw Lu Jiang's calm expression and sincere face, and he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and it was not easy to brush the other party's face, "Please speak." ”

"Now the Central Plains uses troops in Jianghuai, although it has repeatedly Kezhou County, but most of Jianghuai is still in my hands, and I am 300,000 Wu Xiaoyong, going forward and successively, and fighting to the death with the northern thieves. The Central Plains Labor Division Expedition, unable to defeat me for a long time, but lost the army, exhausted, so that forced by the times, had to use the soldiers of the king of Wu Yue, but the original intention was nothing more than to take advantage of the decades of feud between Great Wu and Wu Yue, and vain to gain the benefits of the fisherman. Lu Jiang's voice slowly raised, not only did it seem loud, but it didn't make Qian Yuanqian listen harshly, and his expression was sincere, although his words couldn't help but elevate himself and belittle the Central Plains, but it was indeed extraordinary.

Lu Jiang continued: "The ancient kings were so affectionate, and the courtiers of the world were just equivalent to the things in the world, and they were used when they could be used, and they were abandoned when they were not used. Qian Gong, please think about it, if he is Da Wu and Wu Yue hurt each other, who will benefit? ”

Qian Yuanjun's complexion gradually sank.

Seeing this, Lu Jiang's tone became sharper, "Last year, I conquered Chu in the west of Wu, and destroyed the Chu army of 200,000 in a few months, almost reaching dozens of states in Chu, and the king of Chu had to shrink into a corner." Then the front army of the Central Plains Hundred Battles Elite Hall came to help, how arrogant at first, but then the two armies fought, and it was inevitable that the three defeats of the Yang Dynasty. When it was, the floating corpses were thousands of miles, the blood flowed and drifted, and the army of 100,000 was wiped out in the day, how magnificent! So far, he has no power to go east! ”

Lu Jiang's face was radiant, his words were like cannonballs, and he kept shooting, "My Dawu has both this heroic general, Jinling has tens of millions of scholars, all of them are outstanding, and Li Congjing has to admit that Jinling is full of talent, and it is full and overflowing!" At present, Xu Xiang is in power, the monarchs and ministers of Dawu are together, the army and the people are working together, combining the power of dozens of states, gathering the hearts of tens of millions of people, and they are trying to show their strength, compete for the world, and restore the Central Plains in the north! At this moment, Xu Xiang raised his arms and shouted, ten thousand troops are easy to get, thousands of generals can be sought, strategists are like clouds, armor soldiers are like rain, and the northern thieves have entered Jianghuai without permission, how can there be no reason to be defeated! ”

Words are like morning bells and dusk drums, deafening.

Qian Yuanjun's body stiffened, and cold sweat broke out faintly on his back.

Lu Jiang smiled, softened his tone, and said softly: "However, my Great Wu does not want to compete with King Wu Yue, it is the reason that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and now the northern thief is coming, today into Jianghuai, tomorrow will enter Jiangzuo, my Great Wu and Wu Yue, isn't it a combination of two benefits, and two injuries of separation?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jiang took a leisurely sip of tea, then stared at Qian Yuanqian and said seriously: "Da Wu intends to form an alliance with King Wu Yue, what does Qian Gong think?" ”

Qian Yuanqian was silent for a while.

Just when Lu Jiang thought that he was going to agree, and at the very least, he said that he wanted to ask Qian Mu, the king of Wuyue, Qian Yuanqian suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "If Wu really has this strength, it should be easy to defeat the soldiers of the Central Plains, why come here to form an alliance with me?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Jiang to speak, Qian Yuanqian waved his hand and said as usual: "Since Wu Guo intends to form an alliance with me, it must not be just Lu Gong's three-inch tongue, but the Central Plains is attacking Wu State, not my Qiantang, and Wu Guo should be sincere if he wants to ally with my Qiantang." ”

Lu Jiang was stunned, and then laughed.

After laughing, Lu Jiang looked at Qian Yuanqian with admiration, and said with emotion: "I have heard that Qian Gong is a masterpiece of Qiantang, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and Lu admired it!" ”

Qian Yuanqian smiled silently.

Lu Jiang didn't go around in circles, and said: "If Da Wu and King Wu Yue form an alliance, you and I will naturally advance and retreat together, and we will share the benefits and difficulties." After a pause, he was solemn, "If he is the king of Wuyue and takes Fujian in the south, Da Wu will definitely not intervene to stop it!" ”

Qian Yuanjun's eyes lit up, this is great news.

However, Qian Yuanqian did not express his position, and said: "Take Fujian, the matter of his day, the battle of Jianghuai is now, Wu Guo wants my Qiantang army not to go west, and there should be immediate benefits." ”

Lu Jiang was stunned and said: "It's not enough to have the benefits of Fujian? ”

"Of course not enough." The old god Qian Yuanqian is in the road.

Lu Jiang fell silent.

After a long while, Lu Jiang said: "What does Qian Gong mean?" ”

Qian Yuanqian smiled and said, "Give me something for the labor army." ”

The so-called things of the labor army are money and food.

Lu Jiang changed color and said: "Jianghuai is fighting fiercely, it is the time to use money and food, and at this time, Qian Gong has this request, which is inevitably difficult for some strongmen. ”

Qian Yuanqian said leisurely: "If Duke Lu can't be the master, you can go back and ask Xu Xiang." ”

Lu Jiang was angry, and he finally endured it, the other party's behavior was no different from taking advantage of the fire to rob, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Also, the icing on the cake is often there, such a thing as sending charcoal in the snow is hard to find, and the world of great disputes is not to take advantage of the fire to rob?

This money is really not simple. Lu Jiang thought to himself.

After a long while, Lu Jiang asked in a deep voice: "If Great Wu is willing to give out the things of the labor army, can King Wu Yue be willing to send troops to Jiangbei and reject the northern thieves with me?" ”

Qian Yuanqian laughed, as if he had heard a big joke, "Duke Lu, King Wu Yue is not going to send troops to Jiangbei, but he just promised not to send troops to Wu State." ”

"You ......" Lu Jiang was shocked by Qian Yuanjun's greed and became angry.

Qian Yuanqian was not ashamed at all, but showed a proud look, "If Wu State is unwilling to give the labor army, I hear that Changzhou is a poor place, and the land is narrow and the people are poor, and I am Wang Rende, and I am willing to govern the people for Wu State." ”

"Do you want me to cede Changzhou to you?" Lu Jiang was so angry that his face was flushed, and he was almost angry, and sneered: "Qian Gong is really a lion with his mouth open!" ”

Changzhou is a poor place, it is located in the west of Taihu Lake, with developed water conservancy and fertile farmland, which is the land of fish and rice!

Earlier, in order to fight for this place, the two sides did not know how many times they fought and how many soldiers died.

Qian Yuanqian was fearless, his expression was very calm and calm, and he still said like that, "If Gong Lu can't be the master, you can go back and ask Xu Xiang." Either give me Changzhou, or give me money and food, there is no other way, and my king will never bargain with you. ”

After saying that, seeing that Lu Jiang was still so angry that his face turned blue, Qian Yuanqian smiled and said: "Duke Lu had better come up with an idea quickly, then Yangzhou, I can't say when it will be captured by the imperial court." At that point, everything will be over! ”

Lu Jiang stared at Qian Yuanqian fiercely, eager to swallow him alive.

The negotiations were not destined to be fruitful.

After Qian Yuanqian and Lu Jiang dispersed, the latter returned to the post house, and the former was soon visited by Qian Hua.

After listening to the conversation between Qian Yuanqian and Lu Jiang, Qian Hua deeply appreciated Qian Yuanjun's approach, "If we can get Changzhou, as long as our army is stationed, we will have completed the imperial court's edict requiring us to send troops to attack the west, and we can avoid fighting with Wu, and lose soldiers, money, food, and armor in vain, which is to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Qian Yuanqian said with a smile: "It's not just killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Oh?" Qian Hua was interested, "What else do you get?" ”

Qian Yuanqian said quietly: "Get Changzhou, to threaten Jinling can be very close, in the future, Qiantang to Wu State, can occupy a favorable situation, then look at the changes in the world, if the Central Plains is eternal and strong, then I have Changzhou and dedicated, can be a great achievement, not to mention, inheriting the throne of Wu Yue is logical, if the Central Plains can not be strong for a long time, then I will go west to the south, will be at ease!" ”

After saying this, Qian Yuanjun's eyes lit up.

Qian Hua is eyes are also bright, and when he looked at Qian Yuanqian again, he had a little more appreciation in his heart, and said secretly: It seems that during the trip to the Central Plains, this son has gained a lot, and he has grown a lot!

Lu Jiang returned to the post house, immediately recruited his henchmen, and solemnly instructed him: "Return to the prime minister quickly, the ambition of the wolf son of Qiantang must be in Changzhou, the plan made before must be stepped up to implement, and there is no room for maneuver, otherwise the situation will change greatly, and everything will be over!" ”

The henchmen were ordered, and immediately retreated and led the horse out of the city.

Lu Jiang stood quietly with his hands in his hands, his thoughts were like a tide, and he said secretly: Wang Shi went to Jianghuai to fight to the death with the northern thieves, and he should gather all kinds of strength, where is there money and food to fund the enemy at this time?

......

In front of Yangzhou City.

There were horses galloping in the army formation, which was to give orders to fly and ride.

The fifth girl rushed to the watchtower and handed Mo Li an urgent piece of information.

Don't leave the information, and groan.

"Huainan mobilized 100,000 brave soldiers, sent troops to the north, swore to the land of Jianghuai, and fought to the death with Wang Shi." Mo Li said calmly, "Our army has been conquering Jianghuai for a long time, the material loss is quite large, and the soldiers are tired. Command Qiantang, quickly attack westward, and be sure to divide the troops of Huainan! ”

......

Jinling.

Xu Zhihe was rewarded by Lu Jiang, and his eyes were gloomy.

Because Han Xizai and Ma Renyu had already gone north with the army, he summoned Shi Xubai and Zhou Zong, and said to them: "One hundred thousand brave people who crossed the river and went north to compete with the Central Plains, but now Qian Mu is secretly colluding with the northern thieves and plotting against them, which is really hateful!" Lu Gong reported, Qian Yuanqian asked for Changzhou, with a tough attitude, so it seems that 100,000 brave soldiers must be divided into a part and go to Changzhou to implement our previous plan! ”

"Don't worry about Xu Xiang." Zhou Zong said angrily, "Although the plan of Changzhou cannot be done until the point of last resort, so as not to disperse the military forces in the north and affect the decisive battle between Dawu and the Northern Thieves, but the matter has come to this point, there is no need to hesitate, if this time can make Qiantang fall, it will be a great achievement, and it will also be beneficial to the overall situation!" ”

Shi Xubai said otherwise, he said: "At present, the decisive battle of Jianghuai is the top priority, although the northern thieves have been fighting Jianghuai for a long time, and their combat power has been greatly reduced, but they can't be despised either, I have 100,000 brave north, although I have the certainty of victory, I don't dare to take it lightly, at this moment, the division of troops is really not conducive to the battle of Jianghuai!" ”

Xu Zhihe groaned, "What does Mr. Yi mean?" ”

Shi Xubai said: "Qian Mu asks for Changzhou, you might as well give it, in order to solve the urgent need, wait until the future Wang Shi recovers Jianghuai, and then returns to Jiangzuo, it is not difficult to destroy Wu Yue, let alone Changzhou?" This is a plan to delay the army, give up the small interests and take care of the overall situation, please make a decision! ”

Zhou Zong immediately objected, "What a fallacy Mr. is! Where is this to give up small interests and take care of the overall situation, this is clearly to drink to quench thirst! If King Wu Yue is still not satisfied after he gets Changzhou, and he has other evil intentions, the situation will be out of control, and Dawu will be in danger! ”

Shi Xubai saluted and said: "The strong man broke his wrist, Cheng is quite courageous!" ”

Zhou Zong bowed down and said: "Absolutely not, please think twice!" ”

Xu Zhihe paced back and forth with his hands down, unable to decide.

......

Qiantang.

Qian Mu got Mo Li's order and urgently summoned Qian Yuanjun.

After receiving the order from the palace, Qian Yuanqian immediately rushed to the post house, met with Lu Jiang, and urged Lu Jiang to give a quick reply to the previous conditions. Lu Jiang did not get a reply from Jinling, so he had to be perfunctory.

After Qian Yuanqian returned home, he summoned Qian Hua and conspired with him, "The imperial court military order is issued, and the urging is very tight, if my army does not move for a long time, it will inevitably offend the imperial court!" If this affects the Jianghuai war, when the court is held accountable, Qiantang will be in trouble! ”

Qian Hua pondered: "Now, the public can dispatch soldiers and horses, order the army to assemble, and make full preparations for war!" ”

Qian Yuanjun's eyes were bright, "Brilliant plan!" In this way, it can not only give an account to the imperial court, but also put pressure on Wu Guo! ”

The plan was decided, and Qian Yuanqian immediately made arrangements.

Following.

Lu Jiang got the news of the frequent movements of the Qiantang army, and hurriedly sent people back to Jinling to report the situation, urging Jinling to make a decision quickly.

......

Jinling.

Xu Zhihe convened Shi Xubai and Zhou Zong to discuss the matter.

The two are still on their own.

Shi Xubai said: "On that day, the northern thieves sent Jianghuai, and a certain persuaded the prime minister to abandon Chudi, but the prime minister did not listen, so that he was in trouble today. If today's prime minister still can't give up Changzhou, he will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past in the future! Prime Minister, how can you have both fish and bear's paws?! ”

Zhou Zong shouted: "This is a misleading statement for the country and the people!" Prime Minister, the division of troops in Changzhou, will not affect the overall situation, this is a prudent policy, abandon Changzhou, is a dangerous army, tantamount to a desperate situation, can not do it! ”

Xu Zhihe pondered for a while.

Now, he had to make up his mind.

"Tell Lu Jiang to do the policy of Changzhou!" Xu Zhihe finally made up his mind.

Zhou Zongxi said: "The prime minister is wise! ”

Shi Xu's white face is like ashes.

......

Just when Qiantang and Changzhou had their own troops and horses mobilized, and the atmosphere was treacherous, Jiangbei and Hezhou, Huainan soldiers and horses had landed on the shore, and Wang Yanyu, the assassin of Hezhou, and Wang Hui, the general of the army, immediately mobilized the army to fight.
