After some "friendly" discussions with Tian Hu, Sun Lei got his wish and took the army to Taiyuan Mansion.
"Prince Jin, what will happen if Sun Lei goes to Taiyuan and doesn't contribute? Taiyuan is a large state. He won't imitate Liu Bei and borrow Jingzhou, right?"
When Niu Wenzhong saw Sun Lei leaving with his troops and horses, he whispered to Tian Hu that the lands east of Hedong were barren, but Taiyuan was the largest and richest state capital, so it would not be easy to conquer.
"Lieutenant Fang said it's okay."
Tian Hu looked at Fang Xuedu. After Niu Wenzhong said this, he was a little worried. What if Sun Lei dominates Taiyuan Mansion and can't fight back?
"The King of Jin is overly worried. Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou to extend the strategic depth of Western Shu. Jingzhou borders Western Shu. Liu Bei borrowed it and was naturally unwilling to return it. But Sun Lei's foundation is in Liangshanbo, in Shandong, thousands of miles away from Taiyuan. He Even if he likes it no matter how much he likes it, can he still stay in Taiyuan and not go back? Does he want to lose his inheritance in Liangshanbo?"
Fang Xuedu said with a smile that since he dared to ask Sun Lei to go to Taiyuan Mansion, he was sure to drive Sun Lei away.
"Haha, the Lieutenant has a good plan. I want to keep Sun Lei for a little longer and let him stay well in Taiyuan!"
Tian Hu laughed.
"I'm just afraid that my second uncle will conflict with this Sun Lei!"
Tian Ding said, Tian Bao was originally stationed in Fenyang and had a group of fierce generals around him, but he was defeated in a fight with Zhong Shidao and was later arranged to go to Taiyuan.
"Second child?"
Only then did Tian Hu realize the trouble. His younger brother also had a bad temper. It gave Sun Lei a headache just thinking about it.
"well."
Niu Wenzhong also sighed. Sun Lei had a bad temper. If he met Tian Bao, who had an equally bad temper, he might start a fight.
"Prince Jin, why don't you send a letter to the second king?"
Fang Xuedu clasped his fists at Tian Hu and said, Sun Lei is here to support them, and he has elite troops. It would be bad if there is a conflict with Tian Bao.
"It's useless to go. You know what kind of character the second brother is. Last time Fenyang was defeated, he was not willing to leave him in Qinyuan. He insisted on leading troops to fight against Zhong Shidao. I had no choice but to He was transferred to Taiyuan."
Tian Hu shook his head. He knew Tian Bao's temper best. It would be better if he didn't say it and wrote a letter. Tian Bao must think that outsiders don't trust him, so how can he suppress his anger?
…
"Brother, the trip to Taiyuan went quite smoothly."
Tang Bin looked at Sun Lei and said.
"Let's go to Taiyuan Mansion first!"
Sun Lei smiled.
The road was very desolate, the villages were dilapidated, and I didn't even see a wine shop after walking for a long time.
Sun Lei shook his head in shock. When he and Lu Zhishen headed south from Taiyuan Mansion, the road was not like this.
"This Tian Hu is really not a good guy!"
Lu Zhishen felt a little depressed when he saw the desolation all the way. It didn't matter that Gaizhou was desolate because of the war. Taiyuan Prefecture used to be very lively.
"It will be like this sooner or later. Tian Hu just brought this matter forward."
Sun Lei shook his head. Even without Tian Hu, Jin Bing would have gone south. By then, Hedong would probably not be as good as it is now.
There were many banners in Taiyuan Mansion, and Tian Bao and his army were guarding the city.
"Second King, when Sun Lei comes, my subordinates will definitely give him a show of strength and let him know the interests of our heroes from Hedong!"
Zhang Xiong said with a fierce look on his face, as did Xiang Zhong and Xu Yue beside him.
Among these three people, Zhang Xiong was appointed as the palace commander by Tian Hu, and Xiang Zhong and Xu Yue were given the command of the capital.
The three of them were originally evil men, and they were the best at killing. The soldiers under their command were all cruel and tyrannical. The people in the city were so cruel that they abandoned their property and fled in all directions.
"Okay, last time we were in Liangshanbo, Sun Lei despised me, a hero from Hedong. I won't let him off lightly this time!"
Tian Bao also laughed. Among the people in Hedong, the one he liked the most was Zhang Xiong. This was the person he wanted to do great things.
"Second King, Sun Lei has traveled thousands of miles to come to his aid. Isn't it... inappropriate for us to do this?"
Duan Ren looked at Tian Bao and said.
"What's wrong!"
Tian Bao glanced at Duan Ren.
"Sun Lei came to Hedong at the invitation of His Majesty the King of Jin, and he came to help us fight against the Western Army."
Duan Ren hesitated, but still spoke.
"Hmph, brother just likes to listen to those people's nonsense. Why does Sun Lei come to rescue us in Hedong? I will defeat the Western Army! I don't need him to take action in Liangshanbo and cultivate the way of masters, hum!"
Tian Bao said angrily, why do they, the dignified Jin Kingdom, need to ask for help? Where can they put their face? The most unacceptable thing in the world for Tian Bao is Liangshan Bo Sun Lei's help.
"Second King, people are here!"
Ling Guang said.
To the south of Taiyuan Mansion, Liang Shanbo's army came slowly, still carrying the armored flag of the Forbidden Army.
"It seems they don't welcome us!"
Sun Lei looked at the prepared Taiyuan Mansion and smiled.
"Brother, these people don't know the current affairs. I will go and conquer Taiyuan Mansion right now."
Hua Rong said.
"Let's take a closer look first."
Sun Lei shook his head and led the army towards Taiyuan Mansion.
"Sun Lei, if you don't stay in your pond, why did you come to the east of my river?"
Tian Bao looked at Sun Lei with a smile and shouted.
"Is that so? Then I'll go back!"
Sun Lei laughed, watched Tian Bao reply, waved his hand, and led the army to bypass Taiyuan Mansion and continue north.
"you……"
Tian Bao did not expect that Sun Lei would be like this. He thought about many possibilities, such as Sun Lei would argue with reason, Sun Lei would be embarrassed and angry and curse, such as Sun Lei would lead troops to attack the city... But he never thought that Sun Lei would He left so directly without even saying a word to him.
"Second King, this..."
Zhang Xiong also had a look of astonishment on his face. The humiliation method he prepared to defend the city was useless.
"Impossible, how dare he leave directly! Does he disregard his loyalty?"
Tian Bao looked at everything in disbelief. Sun Lei actually took people away.
"I don't want to fight against the Western Army in the first place, but Tian Bao, a fool, actually drives me away, so why don't I go with the flow?"
Seeing the indignant looks on the faces of everyone around him, Sun Lei smiled and said, there is no need to be angry because of Tian Bao, but should be happy, so he just used this excuse to leave.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Sun An looked at Sun Lei in confusion and asked.
"Since I've come to Hedong, I naturally have to go to Wutai Mountain to meet Elder Zhizhen. I didn't take care of Elder Zhizhen at the beginning."
Sun Lei smiled and said, this place is not far from Wutai Mountain. Since we are all in Taiyuan, why not go there.
"Mount Wutai!"
Lu Zhishen became interested upon hearing this.
"Are you going to cause trouble in Mount Wutai again?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and smiled and said, everyone also laughed. They all knew about Lu Zhishen's drunken riot in Mount Wutai. They heard that Lu Zhishen knocked down the statue at the entrance of Wenshu Monastery, the mountain gate also collapsed, and a All the monks were beaten.
"Master, I'm curious why the mountain gate is so weak."
Wu Song laughed and said.
"That was just a drunken fooling around by the Sa family. You can't take it seriously. The Sa family is going back to see the elders this time. Why are you making such a fuss!"
Lu Zhishen said in a rough voice.
"Master, let's go together!"
Everyone laughed and joked.
"You are not monks, why are you going to the temple?"
Lu Zhishen stared at everyone and said, he knew these people were making fun of him. (End of chapter)
