Chapter 883: Sun Chuanting's collusion

（0883）

[Today's first update delivered]

Hong Chengchou's envoy, Zhang Zhun actually knew him, because he was Sun Chuanting

Well, to be precise, Zhang Zhun met Sun Chuanting in his previous life, but in this world, he only heard Sun Chuanting's name, but he didn't see him. If he wanted to say Sun Chuanting's name, he really couldn't hear it or not. Because, Gao Yingxiang was ambushed and killed by Sun Chuanting, and the other leader of the rebel army, Scorpion Block, was also killed by Sun Chuanting. The intelligence department of the Tiger Ben Army, of course, must list it as a key target.

Gao Yingxiang's death was completely the result of Sun Chuanting's careful deployment, which fully reflected Sun Chuanting's combat strategy - this person is a good fighter in war. The death of the scorpion block reflects some of Sun Chuanting's character traits - he is resolute, strategic, and plans before acting. The scorpion block turned out to surrender to the imperial court under unfavorable circumstances, and in less than two months, he wanted to rebel again, but as a result, he was killed by a traitor arranged by Sun Chuanting.

In the Shaanxi rebel army, if you want to talk about the overall strength, the strongest must be Gao Yingxiang's troops. But when it comes to the largest number of people, it is necessary to count this scorpion block. The number of troops of the Scorpion Block has remained above fifty or sixty thousand all year round, often exceeding 100,000. As a result, these two people died in the hands of Sun Chuanting. Therefore, Zhang Zhun can't pay attention to Sun Chuanting if he wants to. This guy is indeed a fierce man

The Sun Chuanting that Zhang Zhun saw was not very different from the Sun Chuanting in his impression. Sun Chuanting looks like an old gentleman in a private school, he is only in his forties, and he looks like he is over fifty years old. If he hadn't walked steadily, others would have thought he was already an old man in his fifties and sixties.

He looked a little haggard and a little decadent today, and in his sunken eye sockets, obvious red threads could be seen. If you look closely, you can see that there are obvious dark circles under his eye sockets. For some reason, his cheekbones appeared high, as if they were those of the women of Kefu. Obviously, in the past few days, Sun Chuanting must have not slept well.

Hong Chengchou sent an envoy to send Sun Chuanting, which is indeed extraordinary. Actually, this is nonsense. King Fu is dead, can it still be called an ordinary thing? This matter is not handled well, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting will have their heads on the ground if they don't do it well. The lightest punishment is to strip off the official uniform and go to prison for the crime.

After seeing what happened to Yang He, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Xiong Wencan and others, it would be absolutely impossible for the master and apprentice to have no idea. They worked hard to suppress thieves on the front line, and they were about to be completed, but they were stuck in the back by Zhang Zhun, and all their efforts were in vain. Their mood will definitely be like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, all come out.

Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why Hong Chengchou asked Sun Chuanting to be the messenger himself. Some words can only be expressed to Zhang Zhun through the identity of Sun Chuanting. And there are some things that Zhang Zhun can only say to people with status like Sun Chuanting. Ordinary messengers simply can't get on such a sensitive and delicate table.

In other words, the current imperial court doesn't seem to be particularly popular. Smart people can feel that the imperial court is exhausted, and I am afraid it will not last long. The time for a change of dynasty is coming soon. It is a very real question of where their master and apprentice will go. Since it is a real problem, it must be solved realistically.

"Lord Sun, rare guest, rare guest"

Zhang Zhun rarely walked to the door of King Fu's Mansion to welcome Sun Chuanting's arrival.

For Sun Chuanting, Zhang Zhun has really done a lot of research. His final conclusion is that this is a person who can be exploited. Why is it said that it can be used, not reused, trusted, and trusted? There's a reason for that.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are two completely different paths. Lu Xiangsheng is open and close, above board, and will not use means behind his back, such a person is trustworthy, worthy of reuse, worthy of entrustment, and basically does not need to be careful. Lu Xiangsheng himself has no ambitions, and all his actions are based on the object of his allegiance.

And Sun Chuanting's path is more insidious and darker. He ambushed Gao Yingxiang and designed to kill the scorpion block, all of which went to the side door. In particular, the arrangement of the scorpion-killing block makes people feel quite uncomfortable. Such people can be used, but they cannot be fully trusted, and they must be guarded against.

There is no doubt that Sun Chuanting has personal ambitions. His personal ambition is to get ahead and become a figure above ten thousand people under one person. Even, it is a division of one side, splitting the land and dividing the territory. Governed by his own ambitions, he is likely to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He doesn't care about the process and the way he does things, he only cares about the result.

Such a person, if he is on one side of the battle, must also be a hero who expands the territory, maybe because of his personal ambition and his desire to perform, his achievements are even stronger than those of Lu Xiangsheng and the like. This kind of person is very suitable for colonization work.

For example, if Sun Chuanting is placed in Nanyang or other places, or even in the Americas, he will definitely be able to make a world. However, whether this piece of heaven and earth, and the relationship between it and the suzerain, are so close, depends on the ability to control Sun Chuanting.

Hong Chengchou is actually a smart person, and he also knows that his students are ambitious. He knows what kind of ambition his students hide under the ordinary appearance. He knew that once Sun Chuanting was full-fledged, it would be difficult to control it. Therefore, Hong Chengchou has always put Sun Chuanting by his side and does not give him too many opportunities to develop his personal power.

However, this Sun Chuanting still seized the few opportunities that Hong Chengchou gave him. While arresting Gao Yingxiang, he also eliminated the scorpion block. These two credits alone can overshadow Hong Chengchou's limelight. Hong Chengchou has been suppressing thieves for many days, fighting in the east and west, and he is exhausted, and he can get the credit, but there is really not much.

"Lord Governor went out to greet him, and the officials were grateful."

Sun Chuanting really didn't expect Zhang Zhun to go out to welcome his arrival. At this moment, he was a little suspicious, Zhang Zhun's actions seemed to be slightly different from what he guessed It stands to reason that with the current relationship between the two of them, Zhang Zhun should be waiting in the living room for the Malaysian Golden Knife. If he was a little more ruthless, Zhang Zhun would not even meet him in person.

"Lord Sun has made great contributions, and this is as it should be."

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

"Please"

"Please"

The two made gestures and entered the living room together.

If the people next to him didn't know the inside story, they would have thought that Zhang Zhun's old friend was visiting, but in fact, the two were hostile camps at all. I believe that for a long time in the future, the relationship between the two will not undergo fundamental changes.

The two sat down separately, and someone served tea.

Sun Chuanting said euphemistically: "Lord Governor is in Luoyang, everything is okay?" ”

Zhang Zhun squinted at Sun Chuanting and said straight to the point: "I'm fine, but King Fu is a little bad." King Fu is dead. ”

Sun Chuanting's face suddenly changed slightly. In order to hide the disappointment and panic in his heart, he subconsciously picked up the teacup. As a result, due to the slight tremor of the wrist, the teacup lid made a slight collision sound, which was particularly eye-catching in the quiet meeting room. He hurriedly removed the lid of the teacup before the sound completely disappeared.

Zhang Zhun's words directly shattered Sun Chuanting's last trace of fantasy. He believed that King Fu was really dead. At this time, there was no need for Zhang Zhun to lie to him. He said that King Fu was dead, then King Fu was really dead.

When the worst comes, Sun Chuanting's heart is indeed struggling violently. The consequences of King Fu's killing were estimated by everyone, and he and Hong Chengchou were even more estimated. I believe that Yang Sichang can also estimate it. Dim and nightmare, I'm afraid there is only that naïve Shi Kefa.

Zhang Zhun left Sun Chuanting enough time for ideological struggle, and after a long while, he said slowly: "King Fu is dead, what are you going to do?" At war with me? Siege of Luoyang? ”

Sun Chuanting slowly put down the teacup, tried his best to restore his heart to calm, and then said slowly: "Lord Dudu, you can let go of King Heng, King De, and King Lu before, why can't you let go of King Fu?" ”

Zhang Zhun said categorically: "No"

Sun Chuanting was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "Why? If you want his property, why kill him? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Because, I'm ready to break with the imperial court."

Sun Chuanting stared at Zhang Zhun a little blankly.

Break with the imperial court? What does that mean? When did your old man really reconcile with the court? The cloak on your body can only deceive the common people of the people, when will you be able to deceive the high-ranking officials of the imperial court?

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "The war in Liaodong will be resolved within two years. After settling the war in Liaodong, the Huben army will wave its army to the Central Plains, first conquer the Beijing division, and then conquer the south of the Yangtze River to unify the whole country. ”

Sun Chuanting was slightly shocked, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Could it be that he said that Zhang Zhun was arrogant? Could it be that he said that Zhang Zhun was ignorant? When you say these things, you have to look at the strength behind them. Does the current imperial court have the strength to say such things to Zhang Zhun?

Zhang Zhun stood up, walked to the front of the window, turned his back to Sun Chuanting, and said slowly: "Sun Chuanting, you should understand that the change of dynasty is already an unchangeable fact. The moment King Fu was killed, all the disguises on my body had been removed. ”

Sun Chuanting could only listen quietly.

Zhang Zhun turned around, walked back slowly, sat down again, turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting, and said meaningfully: "Sun Chuanting, you and Hong Chengchou are both capable people, I don't want you to be so confused to bury the old dynasty." ”

Sun Chuanting habitually said: "We are deeply ...... by the emperor's grace"

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, and said chicly: "Being deeply favored by the emperor is indeed a good excuse." I've said it all, and how to choose is your business. Come here, I'm welcome. You are against me, and I welcome you as well. ”

Sun Chuanting staggered the topic and said: "Shaanxi rebel army, will you deal with it like this?" ”

Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "That's my business, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Sun Chuanting stared at Zhang Zhun with sharp eyes, like a dormant poisonous snake, and said in a deep voice: "You want to be the emperor, do you want to get rid of them all?" ”

Zhang Zhun smiled disapprovingly, and said easily: "Why do you have to get rid of it?" What is the purpose of the rebels? What is our purpose? The purpose of the rebel army is nothing more than to mix a bite to eat and live a stable life. I can give them all of these. If the purpose has been accomplished, why should they oppose me? ”

Sun Chuanting was slightly stunned, then frowned, and said slowly: "Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are both ambitious people, and they will not sit idly by and watch you ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Honor." If you want to win the world, you must kill them. ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Are you instigating the relationship between me and the rebels?" ”

Sun Chuanting said expressionlessly: "I'm just reminding Lord Du Du to be careful of them." ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Then thank you for the reminder." Worry about the rebels for the time being. ”

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Where is King Fu's body? I want to take it away. ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "Nothing is left." He has been torn apart by the angry people, leaving nothing behind. I believe you also know how much the people of Luoyang hate him, and how could they let it go if they have such a good opportunity? ”

Sun Chuanting said helplessly: "Then, have you announced the death of King Fu to the outside world?" ”

Zhang Zhun glanced at Sun Chuanting meaningfully, and said slowly: "No." We have never publicized the death of King Fu to the outside world. The news that others hear is spread through informal channels. In the future, we will not officially announce the death of King Fu to the public. ”

Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed, and left.

His arrival is to confirm whether King Fu is really dead. Now that King Fu is dead, the rest of the things don't seem to have much to do with Zhang Zhun. What they seriously need to consider is how to report this news to Emperor Chongzhen. And Zhang Zhun's last words obviously left them with plenty of room to maneuver.

Yes, the outside world said that King Fu was dead, but the Tiger Benjun did not prove it. Since the Tiger Benjun did not prove this, it is still debatable to explain the death of King Fu. Even if you say that you saw King Fu's body with your own eyes, and saw King Fu's head cut off with your own eyes, but without the official statement of the Tiger Army, nothing can be counted.

Since King Fu is "probably" not dead, the related crimes are much lighter. Emperor Chongzhen must also think carefully and carefully, whether to ask these guys on the front line to desperately find the whereabouts of King Fu, or to send Jinyi Guards to arrest them. Anyway, as long as the Tiger Ben Army did not officially confirm King Fu's death, they had room to turn around.

Some people may say, didn't Zhang Zhun announce that King Fu was dead at the mass meeting? That's right, Zhang Zhun did say so. However, what Zhang Zhun means now is to imply that Sun Chuanting can retract what he said before.

Actually, these details really don't matter. A sentence or two has little effect on the nature of the matter. As long as Zhang Zhun will not mention the death of King Fu in the future, and no longer go around proclaiming that King Fu is dead. The rest of the things, Sun Chuanting and they can operate smoothly.

"Go to Kaifeng Mansion"

After leaving Luoyang City, Sun Chuanting shouted at his subordinates.

It is relatively easy for the commanders of the officers and troops in the Central Plains Theater, Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang, Wang Kun, and Shi Kefa, to collude and report similar performances. The only one that is a little troublesome is the Henan Governor Yamen. Yu Yinggui, the governor of Henan, belongs to the governor system, not to the army, Sun Chuanting must confess to him in order to avoid Chongzhen from seeing the flaws.

As for the other officials, Sun Chuanting didn't need to pay attention to them. Except for a few of them, there is also Yu Yinggui, and no one else is qualified to write directly to Emperor Chongzhen. Even if they learned of King Fu's death, wrote a note, and delivered it to the imperial court, they would be intercepted by the cabinet.

There is such a big thing in Henan, and I believe that the people in the cabinet are also anxious, and they will definitely not let Chongzhen know the truth easily. The current cabinet chief assistant is Liu Yuliang, this guy is thick and fine, when he learns of King Fu's death, his first reaction must be to immediately intercept the relevant news. Otherwise, let Emperor Chongzhen know the truth, and his first assistant will also be done.

As for the military department, there is no need to worry about it. The current secretary of the military department is Chen Xinjia, and Yang Sichang is wearing a pair of pants. King Fu's bad news, of course, he will help Yang Sichang hide it. At this time, I believe that Yang Sichang's distress letter should have been in the territory of Beizhili. What's more, Chen Xinjia's own guilt is not small.

Your court transferred troops, transferred back and forth, and as a result, the troops around Luoyang were emptied, resulting in King Fu being killed, you are not a capital crime, who is a capital crime? When Sun Chengzong was killed, didn't Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong still bear the responsibility?

As for Dongchang and Jinyiwei, if they weren't stupid, I believe they wouldn't be in such a hurry to find out the truth. The Tiger Ben Army attacked Luoyang, and you Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not fulfill their duty to remind, don't you have responsibility? When the board is knocked down, Zhang Yixian and Wu Mengming will also be crackled.

After Sun Chuanting left, Wang Shide asked curiously: "My lord, does this Sun Chuanting really want to accompany Chongzhen to the funeral?" ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said meaningfully: "No." Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting will not be buried for Chongzhen. However, it is possible for Yang Sichang and Shi Kefa. By the way, is there any movement from Yang Sichang? ”

Wang Shide said: "It's still in the Longmen Pass area. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said with a grim face: "Order the Lion Cavalry Battalion and the Bear Cavalry Battalion to quickly prepare for battle and have a combat mission."

Wang Shide was slightly startled, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, are you going to lead the army to attack Longmen Pass?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "Yang Sichang's eyes are above the top, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he won't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people." Emperor Chongzhen wanted Yang Sichang to command the Central Plains battle, but I couldn't let him succeed. The battle situation in the Central Plains is better to maintain the status quo. ”

Wang Shide hurriedly gave the order.

[Ask for a few monthly passes......]
