Chapter 997: The Back Road
Chapter 1003
Song Youqu said, then looked at Cheng Dalei expectantly, waiting for Cheng Dalei's reply.
"If the Jiangnan Army can enter Shu, it is naturally a good thing, there is no need to discuss this matter with me, I will listen to Your Majesty's will. ”
Song Youqu agreed: "Go back to Your Majesty immediately and start this matter immediately." ”
Song Youqu said goodbye and left, looking at his attitude, he couldn't wait. Cheng Dalei was a little puzzled: Originally, he contributed by himself, and Li Xingzai sat back and enjoyed the success, so why did he bother to do it.
When Cui Baiyu and Xu Shenji came over, Cheng Dalei also told them about this matter, but Cui Baiyu made it clear in one word.
"Speaking of which, you still can't believe us. Cui Baiyu said: "We have occupied Liangzhou, if we occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou again, we will really have the qualifications to fight against Li Xingzai." ”
Cheng Da Lei was stunned when he said it, of course, he and Li Xingzai had already agreed on some things. But these are empty promises, and if you don't count, you don't count.
"Raising tigers is a problem, the merit is high, Cheng Dalei, you said that you didn't make a mistake like that. Li Xingzai believes it, but you should also be right. Cui Baiyu looked at Cheng Dalei: "Then again, are you really trustworthy, or can Liu Bei really be completely trusted?"
Cheng Dalei was speechless for a while, but Cui Baiyu's words reminded him. This time, Liu Bei was in charge of the affairs of Jingzhou Yizhou, and he had already instructed him not to start the war lightly, and it was best to persuade the other party, even if it was against the yang and the yin.
But the fight should have started, and the battle reports sent here were getting longer and longer. What is going on over there now, Cheng Dalei can be said to know nothing.
Of course, Cheng Dalei is not worried that Liu Bei will betray him, but he is afraid that the other party will think too much about himself. Cheng Dalei didn't feel wronged, Liu Bei was wronged for himself first, first occupied Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou, and then fell into an undefeated situation.
At that time, Li Xingya didn't want to do it to himself, and he had to do it to himself.
Cui Baiyu reminded him right, he must arrange a back road for himself, and sometimes it is not necessarily a kind of wisdom to retreat bravely.
"The big boss of this matter needs to think twice and have a way to deal with it. Cui Baiyu said.
"yes, there are some things that should be calculated. Cheng Dalei sighed, and his eyes gradually cleared.
Now the strength of Toad Village has completely withdrawn from Jingzhou, Liu Bei led 100,000 horses into Shu, Qin Man led 30,000 barbarian troops to guard the night and take care of the pass, Gao Feihu Gao Feibao and others guarded the base camp of Liangzhou.
Cheng Dalei didn't have many troops around him, only Xu Shenji, Cui Baiyu, Liu Facai, and Yinyan around him. and some members of the Xizi team are arranged in the shadows, responsible for transmitting information and taking care of some things that are inconvenient for Cheng Dalei to handle.
Cheng Dalei began to lay out his back road after careful consideration. He sent a letter to Qin Man, ordering him to withdraw his troops back to Liangzhou. Liangzhou is his base camp, and there is no big difference between guarding or not guarding at sunset, and it will not play a role.
Two other letters were handed to Bai Yuanfei, one of which instructed Liu Bei to slow down the pace of the attack, and this battle could be slowed down, and there was no need to be in a hurry. Another letter explaining some of the follow-up matters.
In the dead of night, the window of the study opened, and Bai Yuanfei jumped in from the window.
"Big boss, do you have something to call me?"
Cheng Dalei glanced at him: "When is it, you can't knock on the door and come in." ”
"The big boss doesn't know, there are rules in one line, and we try not to go out of the door in this line. ”
Cheng Dalei waved his hand and handed him the letter on the table: "You handed these two letters to Liu Bei, and the other letter was secretly handed over to Liu Bei, and he must open it himself." ”
"My subordinates will do it. ”
Bai Yuanfei agreed, glanced at Cheng Dalei before leaving, and said, "Is there something on the mind of the big boss?"
Cheng Dalei suddenly lost his mind, waved his hand and said: "What can I have on my mind, go down and do something, nothing can happen." ”
Bai Yuanfei agreed, and couldn't help but say again: "Big boss, the sky is falling and there are brothers to top it together, you don't need to take everything too seriously." ”
"Go ahead, I can't get anything wrong here. ”
Bai Yuanfei said goodbye and left from the window as it was, and after a while, Cheng Dalei heard the sound of tiles overhead.
Cheng Dalei shook his head and smiled bitterly, it is really easy to change the nature of the country, Bai Yuanfei is used to being a thief, and he is afraid that the thief will never be able to change.
Subsequently, the smile on Cheng Dalei's face gradually disappeared, and only bitterness remained.
Even Bai Yuanfei could see that he was preoccupied, not to mention other people, some things really couldn't be hidden.
After a long night without a word, Cheng Dalei stood alone in front of the window, looking up and seeing the sky full of stars.
But Cheng Dalei is not calm in his heart, and his heart is full of gloom at the moment. has worked hard to get to this day, how can you say that you will give up and give up, Cheng Dalei is somewhat unwilling in his heart. But there are some things that he holds on to, and in the end he is afraid that he will not be able to grasp anything.
When it should go, it will go, and when it should be broken, it will be broken, and when it is broken, it will be chaotic.
The next day, Cheng Dalei entered the palace to see Li Xingzai.
Li Xingzai is also entangled in everything now, and he is very busy. However, he really gave Cheng Dalei a lot of face, and in his busy schedule, he also took time to meet Cheng Dalei.
The two met in Guanghua Palace, and Cheng Dalei owed: "The minister and Your Majesty will see each other." ”
Li Xingya waved his hand: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to meet to come here." You're a rare guest, so you don't come to see me, tell me, why are you here today?"
Cheng Dalei said: "The minister has come to bid farewell to His Majesty. ”
"You want to leave?" Li Xingzai froze, the smile on his face froze, and then disappeared in a flash: "Back to Liangzhou?"
Cheng Dalei said: "It's not necessarily going back to Liangzhou, I just want to take a walk, the war was chaotic back then, and I went there when I walked there, and I haven't been to see many places." Now that the world is finally peaceful, I can also go out for a walk, and I should still go back to Liangzhou in the end. ”
Li Xingzai was confused in his heart, and said: "Cheng Dalei, you are so Yaxing, now I am very busy, but you can steal half a day of leisure." Sometimes, I really want to trade with you. ”
"I don't dare. ”
Li Xingzai smiled and said, "But I can't let you go, the princes' meeting is imminent, and you will divide the world, and you will be the first to do it." I've got a big reward for you, so thick that you can't even think of it. ”
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "This princes' meeting, the ministers are unwilling to participate. ”
Li Xingzai frowned: "Why?"
"The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the stone will be shot by the shore waves. Now there are rumors outside, and the minister no longer dares to be in the limelight. Cheng Dalei said: "In the future, the world will be peaceful, and I only hope to be able to idle the clouds and wild cranes for a lifetime." ”
