The light and shadow flickered, and Huai Wang Liang Zhizhong, dressed in casual clothes, slowly stepped into the middle tent. He had a face with Chinese characters and a crown rising to the sky. His face was a little flat, but at first glance he looked quite honest. Deng Quji stood up to greet him, but Deng Mao knelt on one knee, not daring to look up. Guo Chuanlin had never met King Huai, but from Deng Quji's behavior, he guessed his identity. The youngest son of the emperor of the current dynasty was reincarnated well and would be a superior person when he was born, so it would not be wronged to kneel to him. Guo Chuanlin murmured in his stomach, kowtowed awkwardly and said, "Little The people of Guo Chuanlin came to see the prince."
"Coach Guo, stand up straight." Liang Zhizhong stretched out his hand and Guo Chuanlin stood up, took a peek, made eye contact with him, and smiled awkwardly.
Liang Zhizhong didn't care that people in the world didn't know etiquette. He looked at the other person and asked with interest: "Just now, Instructor Guo said that General Deng couldn't do anything on his own, so he had to ask me before making a decision. But I had already noticed that I was going to Outside the camp?"
His voice was low and calm, and his whole person exuded a calm demeanor. Guo Chuanlin's heart moved. King Huai asked this question. It was obvious that he was quite confident in his own kung fu. In fact, he did not notice anyone eavesdropping outside. Deng Quji was fine. After all, he was the descendant of a general and had practiced martial arts for generations. His family's marksmanship was unparalleled in the martial arts world. He was unparalleled, but he was surprised that even Huai Wang Liang Zhizhong was such a powerful figure.
Guo Chuanlin lowered his hand and said, "I don't dare. These are the exact words of my mentor. The common people don't know that the prince is here."
King Huai nodded and said, "It turned out to be a pure coincidence." He stepped forward, patted Deng Mao on the shoulder, motioned for him to stand up, turned around and sat on the horse, sitting firmly and generously.
Guo Chuanlin originally planned to send a message quickly through Deng, but now it seems that there is no need. The person in charge is here. As long as he can persuade King Huai, his mission will be completed. In retrospect, from He Yaozu, Deng Mao, Deng Quji, all the way to Huai Wang Liang Zhizhong, all the links were connected. Although there were some twists and turns, it was generally smooth. This was his luck, Mr. Han's luck, and Zhao Bohai and Zhao Shuai. His luck was the unlucky fate of the current emperor Liang Yuanhao.
"Your Majesty is Zhao Bohai's mastermind. I have been famous for a long time. He first went to Guliang, and then conquered the pass, leading the barbarians to go south, causing great chaos in the world. It's amazing! With him, Zhao Bohai became even more powerful. The rebels were originally just scabies. It was a small trouble, but now it is so powerful that the troops are approaching the capital. Tracing the source is really thanks to the commander!"
King Huai spoke slowly and slowly, and it didn't sound like sarcasm. However, Guo Chuanlin felt a little awkward. King Huai was fair and upright and did not lean towards either side. He was the real prince of the Liang Kingdom, how could he not be the emperor? Sharing worries is a bit of schadenfreude. He suddenly felt that King Huai was not unattainable, and it seemed more possible to move him. However, if he failed, the backlash that would follow would be even more violent.
"Hu Guanhai is an important minister of the imperial court, and the Huai army is the backbone of the imperial court. It is unbelievable that the commander wants to defeat the imperial army and kill the important ministers of the imperial court in exchange for General Deng's help."
Guo Chuanlin said cautiously: "The common people are just passing on the news. The master's intentions cannot be concealed from the prince."
"Oh, don't you feel weird?"
Guo Chuanlin answered the question, saying: "When a teacher has something to do, the disciple must do his work. The common people are taught by their mentor, so they should do their best. But..."
"Say it, keep saying it, I will forgive you."
"However, as the old saying goes, 'If you don't break, you don't establish.' There is no need to care too much about the immediate gains and losses. It is better to take a long-term view and see the results naturally in the future."
King Huai was thoughtful and asked: "If it is destroyed but not established, wouldn't it be lost in vain?"
"The world is unpredictable, the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and ordinary people dare not speak nonsense. However, even if there is a loss, it is not necessarily the loss of the prince. If a good opportunity is missed, it is the loss of the prince..."
…
The two of them patiently played riddles and tried their best, but no one said anything clearly. Although there were no outsiders in the middle tent, it was better not to express any treason. Deng Quji, Deng Mao and his son looked at each other and were secretly shocked. This Guo Chuanlin was so bold. He was clearly trying to persuade King Huai to take advantage of the Huai army's northward movement and the empty Central Plains to start a rebellion and seize the throne.
King Huai lowered his head and thought, Guo Chuanlin was a smart man, and every sentence he said was on point, especially "Even if there is a loss, it is not necessarily the prince's loss. If you miss a good opportunity, it is the prince's loss." Speaking of his heart. How could he not understand the thoughts of the Crown Prince of the East Palace? Right now, he was still the King of Huai. When his father died and his eldest brother Liang Zhiping ascended the throne, he would be the King of Huai. What awaited him would be a remote country and a deep palace and prison. , or a glass of poisonous wine, it all depends on the mood of the new emperor.
Han Bing accepted a good apprentice. King Huai stopped probing and said directly: "Your Majesty has accepted a good apprentice. So, what help does he want from General Deng?"
"Eight years ago, the Han family in Yangzhou was punished for treason. Han Yang and his three sons were slaughtered. More than a hundred members of his family were not spared. The children were exiled to the border as slaves. My mentor wanted to know the mastermind behind the tragic annihilation of the Han family. Who is he, who ordered him, and why did he carry out this murderous act? General Deng has been stationed in Yangzhou for a long time and has been in charge of the military. Finding out this matter is a matter of effort."
Conspiracy is a major crime to destroy the nine tribes. It is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go. Han Bing is so bold and determined to overturn the case for the Han family that he will not hesitate to join the rebels and collude with the barbarians. The fish that slipped through the net became a big fish. Stirring up the wind and waves.
"Who is Han Bing from the Han family?"
"Outsiders only think that Han Yang has three sons, but in fact he also has an unnaturalized illegitimate son who was entrusted to a distant relative to adopt and grow up."
"So, Han Bing is Han Yang's illegitimate son - who adopted him?"
"The last leader of Qingcheng was Xiaomin's ancestor. His surname was Han, and his name was Tianyuan."
King Huai thought thoughtfully. The revenge for killing his father was so great that it was no wonder that Han Bing was deliberately trying to track down the real culprit behind the scenes. He somewhat believed in Han Bing's sincerity.
"How confident is your commander in defeating the Huai army?"
Hu Guanhai and the Huai army were a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. If they could be removed with the help of the rebels and one of Liang Zhiping's arms was broken, it would be a big temptation for King Huai.
"My lord, the Hu cavalry and archery are unparalleled. Even though the Huai army is an elite division, they cannot stop the Hu cavalry's surprise attack."
King Huai frowned and said: "Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. Zhao Bohai colluded with the barbarians to lure wolves into the house for a short time. It is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. This is really unwise, and I cannot agree to it." !”
Guo Chuanlin said calmly: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. My mentor is not aware of the wolfish ambitions of the Hu people. He just lured the Hu people to join forces with the Huai army, killing two birds with one stone. In the court, It will be of great benefit to the prince."
King Huai pondered and said, "What conditions will your master promise to the barbarians?"
"Salt, tea, and ironware."
When Deng Quji heard the word "iron", he suddenly raised his head, his eyes like lightning.
