Chapter 492 - Counting is Counting
Su Dingfang hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but Su Lie is just a nameless junior, how can He De dare to accept such a favor from His Highness." ”
Hearing this euphemistic refusal, Chen Kefu was also disappointed in his heart, but he didn't give up. How could such a character be recruited so easily, as long as you use your own heart, you can always get it.
Chen Kefu believes that Su Dingfang must have something to do with Gao Shida's soldiers and horses. As long as he finds a way to serve Gao Shida in one pot, how can Su Lie not surrender himself at that time. Thinking of this, he became happy again, "There is no need to answer this matter so early, the door of the imperial court will always be open for you, when you figure it out, it is not too late to come to this king again." This king just heard that you are Gao Shida's envoy, and I don't know what Gao Shida has to find the court? ”
Su Dingfang took out a recital sheet from his arms, and an attendant hurriedly went over to take it.
"The general of my family heard that His Royal Highness and the Liaodong Army rescued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the grassland, and when the Emperor Taishang was unconscious and unable to govern, the crown prince ascended the throne in Beijing City. When our general heard this, he was very happy and sent a special general to congratulate His Majesty on his accession to the throne. ”
For such words, Chen Kefu naturally would not believe it, Hejian County is next to Zhuo County, if Gao Shida is really as Su Lie said, then when Yang Gao ascended the throne, he should have sent someone over, so why wait until this time to send someone to say congratulations. However, Chen Kefu didn't care about this, seeing that Su Lie said so respectfully, he had already roughly guessed a few points in his heart. It must have been Gao Shida who felt the threat of Zhang Jincheng, so he hit him with the idea.
He didn't look at the watch, but just smiled, "It's good that General Gao has a heart, and this king also knows that if it is not peaceful today, the roads are difficult and dangerous, but it is more troublesome to come to Beijing." Since General Gao sent General Su to worship His Majesty, he is already very attentive, and I believe that His Majesty will not blame him. ”
Su Lie saw that Chen Pojun didn't look at the watch. I had to smile and continue, "A few days ago, General Gao received an edict from His Majesty, ordering all counties in the world and the Beijing Imperial Court to be orthodox and must be attached to the table. After receiving the edict, our general immediately sent the last general to submit to the court and bring tribute. ”
"Oh. Is General Gao really willing to belong to the imperial court? Chen Kefu said with a smile.
Su Lie nodded hurriedly and said, "The general of my family is not from the imperial court, but in recent years, bandits have been everywhere in Hebei, and the people have struggled to make a living. The local government has long been wiped out by the bandits, and there is no one in the county between the rivers who is the master of the people. My generals had no choice but to gather their neighbors and form troops to protect themselves. Now that the land between the rivers is stable, I heard that His Royal Highness supported the crown prince to ascend the throne in Beijing. Then the last general came to congratulate. Second, I also hope that the imperial court can send soldiers and horses officials into the river to preside over the situation, and only wait for the officials of the imperial court to arrive, and my general is willing to immediately disband the township soldiers and go home to disarm and return to the field. ”
Chen Kefu looked at Su Lie and laughed a few times.
Su Lie lowered his head a little embarrassed, of course he understood what Chen Kefu was laughing at. What I just said was nothing but a lie.
In Bohai County and Pingyuan County, they were all attacked by Zhang Jincheng, and Liu Badao and Sun Anzu were defeated. Gao Shida also understands. He and Zhang Jin said that there must be a big war before it. Zhang Jin said that although he claimed to be 200,000 people, Gao Shida was not afraid of him. Gao Shida's subordinates have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but his soldiers and horses are also relatively sophisticated, no more than Zhang Jin, who is called a rabble. In the decisive battle between the two sides, he was ninety percent sure that he would defeat Zhang Jincheng, and even captured the two counties of Pingyuan and Bohai in one fell swoop.
However, Dou Jiande, a general of Gao Shida's subordinates, reminded him that Zhang Jin was not terrible, and he could avenge his old brother Sun Anzu without Gao Shida's action. Their real crisis lies in Chen Pojun in the north.
After the Liaodong Army captured the six counties of Hebei. It did not immediately go south, but temporarily ceased troops to recuperate. They are not Zhang Jincheng, so they understand the strength of the Liaodong Army. If they were fighting with Zhang Jincheng in the south, the Liaodong army suddenly sent troops south from Zhuo County. Then they will be in danger of being exposed to the enemy on their backs. Such a situation will be very unfavorable, and after a long discussion, Dou Jiande and Gao Shida and others agreed to simply take advantage of the edict issued by Chen Kefu to request all counties to be attached. First pretend to surrender to Chen Pojun.
After stabilizing the Liaodong Army, he immediately concentrated his troops and horses to deal with Zhang Jincheng in the south. As long as Zhang Jin is destroyed, there will be no opponent in the south of Hebei and Shandong. As long as they take the opportunity to quickly take the Hebei counties and the Shandong counties, they will have the territory of twenty or thirty counties. When the time comes, recruit troops. Even the Liaodong Army can fight. …,
Before coming, Su Lie also felt that this plan was the best plan now. But after meeting Chen Pojun for such a short time, he understood that Chen Kefu was not just an outstanding general. Chen Kefu's eyes seemed to be able to perceive everything, standing in front of him, he only felt that the lies he told had already been detected by him.
"Well, General Gao's efforts to protect the territory and the people are also due to the court and the people. Of course, the court has to reward these people. According to the king, there is no need to send officials to Hejian County so troublesomely. ”
Saying that, Chen Kefu saluted Yang Guangyi, "Your Majesty, Gao Shida has made great contributions, and the minister thinks that the imperial court should appoint him as the Taishou of Hejian County, Feng Dou Jiande as the general guard of Hejian County, and Gao Yaxian as the county commander of Hejian County." All of its soldiers and horses can also be converted into soldiers of the Hejian County Government. In addition, according to the military merits of the soldiers of Gao Shida's department, they can be rewarded separately and given more money and materials. ”
Yang Gao is just a puppet sitting on the dragon chair, what does Chen Kefu say, what is it naturally, how can there be any reason not to be allowed. Without saying a word, the little emperor immediately nodded in agreement.
At present, the Ministry of Internal History immediately drafted an edict and crowned Gao Shida as the Taishou of Hejian County, the Marquis of Hejian, and the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. As for the other generals in Gao Shida's department, they were also sealed one by one according to the list given by Su Lie. And he promised to give as much gold, silver, wine, and cloth as he preached.
Seeing the little emperor holding the jade seal of the country and stamping it on the holy decree that had just been drafted, Su Lie still felt a little in a trance. Although he felt that this matter was very certain before he came, it could not be so smooth. What's more, after such a short period of contact with Chen Pojun, he already clearly knew that this Chen Pojun was definitely not a simple character. With a character like him, how could he not see their delaying tactics?
The more it went smoothly, Su Lie also felt that their purpose had already been seen through by Chen Kefu, and he was extremely anxious for a while. But at this point, it is impossible for him to tell the truth. After thinking about it, as long as you go back as soon as possible and tell General Gao and General Dou about this matter, as for what to do, you can only discuss it again.
He was thinking about it over there, but here the holy decree had already been made.
Chen Kefu walked to Su Lie's side with the holy decree, Su Lie was awakened by the sound of footsteps, and stretched out his hand to receive the decree, but Chen Kefu did not hand it out.
"General Su, this king has a reluctant request, I wonder if the general can agree?"
"Your Highness, but it doesn't matter, as long as the general can do it, he will never refuse." Su Lie was bent on returning to the river as soon as possible at this time, and said in a trance.
Chen Kefu smiled brightly, "It's just a small thing, of course General Su can do it." This king heard that although General Su is not from a family of generals, the Su family has peerless marksmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation. When he was young, he learned Shuo and rarely used a gun. Now I hear that General Su can make such a peerless marksmanship, and I am very yearning. This king has a reluctant request, I want to ask General Su to teach me the Su family's marksmanship, I don't know how? ”
"My Su family does have a social marksmanship, but it's just ordinary marksmanship, and it's not peerless. If the handsome man wants to learn, there is naturally no problem. Su Lie said with some hesitation, "It's just that the last general is still burdened with a heavy responsibility, and he has to bring the holy decree of the imperial court back to the river as soon as possible." I'm afraid that there is no time for the time being, so why don't you wait for the last general to send the holy decree back to Hejian, and then go back to Beijing City to learn marksmanship with His Highness? ”
Of course, Chen Kefu didn't want to learn any marksmanship, if he wanted to learn guns, he just asked Luo Cheng directly to learn the Luo family's five-hook magic flying gun. The Luo family gun is extremely domineering, but it was juxtaposed with Rong Guogong's coming marksmanship to protect the children, the Luo family gun is domineering and weird, and the coming gun is fierce. Luo Cheng is his woman, if he wants to learn, how can he hide his secrets.
He beat Su Lie to learn to shoot, just to find an excuse to keep Su Lie. Although with the current situation, Su Lie will definitely not join the Liaodong Army, but as long as he destroys Gao Shida, Su Lie will have no other choice at that time.
Smiling, Chen Kefu stretched out his hand and patted Su Wei's arm, "For such a thing, the imperial court has its own scholars, so why should General Su go in person." After a while, the king sent a team of guards to escort the Zhongshushe people to the river to deliver the edict, anyway, there was General Su's entourage to guide the way, and he was not worried that they would be delayed. As for General Su, just stay longer, while teaching the marksmanship of the Su family, and at the same time, also browse the scenery of Beijing. It's autumn now, and the autumn scenery on the mountains on the outskirts of the capital is very beautiful. When you have time one day, climb the Great Wall of the military capital with General Su to watch the autumn scenery, which will definitely make you sigh that this trip is worth it. ”
Although Su Lie excused himself several times, he was in Beijing, how could he shirk it. In the end, he could only helplessly watch his entourage take the herald sent by Chen Kefu to the south, and he didn't even have the slightest chance to tell his entourage that their strategy had been seen through by Chen Pojun.
In the mid-autumn of August, Su Lie could only stand at the south gate of Beijing, watching the group drift away. Until the figure became a small dot, and finally disappeared completely into the distance. With a long sigh in his heart, he understood that Gao Shida's peasant army was in danger.
In the sigh, a trace of relief flashed inexplicably in his heart. Although he followed his father-in-law and Dou Jiande to join Gao Shida's army, he did not quite agree with Gao Shida's code of conduct. Even he faintly looked down on Gao Shida in his heart, and he stayed there all the time, just because his father-in-law was there. Now that he is left in Beijing, his heart is much more relaxed, but he is still worried about his father-in-law Gao Yaxian, after all, it was that man who saved him. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. Perhaps, he should go and beg Chen Pojun to let him protect his father-in-law. But he also knew that with this request, he could only follow Chen Pojun.
I was worried for a while, and I didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
