The meaning is obvious, Nima, are you sincere? There is no sincerity, I am cheating?
He is indeed a top talent. He can handle the two of them with just a little effort. Why play with him? Is it fun?
Li Lu received the signal from the heroic husband Rao and immediately said, "Yang Qian'er built a straight road and track of more than 1,000 miles between Yuntong County and Goguryeo."
Han Jingtong was completely confused. He knew about the straight road, but what was the track?
"what is that?"
"Wait? What? Thousands of miles of straight road, how is this possible!"
Han Jingtong stood up excitedly, his face full of disbelief.
Although Liao State has such a vast land, although there are not as many people as Xia State, there are not many less people. Even if Liao State wants to build a thousand-mile straight road, it will cause huge losses to the national strength.
Li Lu glanced at him. Although he despised his city, he was also confused when he learned about it.
He explained, "The track can transport Yuntong County's grain and grass to Goguryeo in only five or six months. After arrival, 80-90% of the grain and grass will be left."
Now Han Jingtong really couldn't sit still, and said with horror on his face, "Impossible. Normally transporting grain and grass, and delivering grain and grass thousands of miles, only 10% or 20% of the grain is left. This, how is this possible?"
"This is also what we are puzzled by. I even doubt whether it is true. But now that we have lost contact, I think Xisaku is dead."
Han Jingtong calculated the gains and losses with a gloomy face. Even with his level of internal affairs, he couldn't live up to this score. Maybe not only Han Jingtong, but also Li Lu was a little disbelieving.
After all, it was just a carefully crafted message. It was impossible to verify whether it was true or not. In fact, Li Lu didn't believe it from an instinctive point of view.
This is like the feeling that Yang Qian's hometown is a county town, and suddenly there is a fellow villager who built more than a dozen subways and five airports in his hometown.
Only an idiot would believe it.
"Goguryeo, I have heard of this name. It is a country thousands of miles away to the east of Xia Kingdom. In the past, King Wu once went to war, but came back defeated. Although he was indifferent to the outside world, we know that he was defeated."
"Why would Mr. Wu An go to trouble Goguryeo? Those soldiers are not bad at fighting, and can even be very tough."
Li Lu said, "No one knows, and no information has been passed on so far, so we can't be sure, but if Yang Qian is allowed to develop like this, I'm afraid..."
Han Jingtong looked deeply at Li Lu and said in a deep voice, "Is there anyone the general is afraid of?"
Li Lu raised his head and curved the corners of his mouth. His whole look of confidence and determination made people feel at ease.
"Afraid? Although this general is not talented, he can't be defeated by any cat or dog. What I mean is that Yang Qian has no etiquette and massacred many scholar-bureaucrats. He obviously has a deep-seated hatred for scholar-bureaucrats. I have a hunch that this person If we don’t get rid of it, you and I may not get any good fruits in the near future.”
The two of them are not idiots, they are still top figures in the pyramid. They have their own unique views on the situation in the entire Central Plains. It is their own ability to see how far they can see.
Han Jingtong immediately hit the railway while it was hot, "So, let's not keep secrets and attack Xia Kingdom together. This is also the purpose of my visit this time."
Li Lu touched his beard and said, "I am a warrior, Mr. Han. Why don't you think about how to make a plan? Of course, Liao Guo needs to give us credentials and find an excuse, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public." .”
"Isn't that what I'm worried about now?"
Han Jing's ear canal on the same side said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Xingguo has formed an alliance with Xiaguo. The two of us will attack Xiaguo's Yanggu Pass together. But what should Xingguo do? We were able to defend it last time, but this time we need to kill Yang Gan directly. There is no room for slack. If Xingguo takes advantage of the situation and is afraid that both you and I will lose our land.”
Han Jingtong smiled and said, "Before coming here, I have contacted the three vassal states of Lei, He, and Ni, plus the border guards on both sides of us. If we don't counterattack, there should be no problem in blocking them."
"And we can block the traffic arteries here. Without the help of letters, I want to see if Mr. Wu An is still as powerful as before."
The three of them discussed in the room for a long time. When Han Jingtong returned to the resting place, Mrs. Yinglie summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter.
Zhai Ku watched everyone discussing in silence, feeling a little disappointed.
In the past, he was full of confidence and loyal to Shang Guo, but now and then, the two young masters were fighting openly and secretly, and the court was full of chaos.
The two of them formed a group of factions with each other and wanted to fight in the palace. Fortunately, Mrs. Yinglie stepped in to suppress them, otherwise something big might have happened.
The king is not dead, how can he establish the king without permission? When I first started thinking about it, I planned to overdo it and choose a successor after the death of King Shang.
But who knew that King Shang's life was so tough that he was forced to hold his breath and remain in a vegetative state. The situation was neither good nor bad.
He is now a two-faced man. Because of his previous relationship, the two young masters were almost offended by him, and they were reluctant to join the camp.
It's almost to the point of being driven to death.
After everyone had finished discussing, the two young masters suddenly beamed with joy, because they knew that their opportunity had come. As long as people from their own camp performed meritorious service, whoever would succeed in the end would have a greater chance of succeeding.
Why don't you just kill people and make contributions?
At this time, a minister with a smile on his face came out, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to report."
Suddenly, Mrs. Yinglie let out a sigh and said calmly, "But it doesn't matter."
The minister laughed and said, "Queen Mother, in fact, attacking the Xia Kingdom is nothing more than an excuse. This kind of thing is very simple, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. It is better to let the king succeed to the throne first. It can also be used to take advantage of this opportunity to organize a large-scale state affairs." Etiquette, in this way it can also indirectly confuse the Xia Kingdom."
Yinglie Furu nodded, but he had not thought of this. The rule of the Central Plains was to establish a new king after the death of the king. If the king is still alive, it would be somewhat unfavorable and violate the system if he established the king directly.
But this matter must be settled. After all, the two gangs are already fighting fiercely. As the eldest mother, it is natural to calm the situation down.
Li Lu frowned, he didn't like this person very much.
This man's name is Guo Chong, and he is a disciple of the young master Zhao Ju. Because he spends most of his time following the young master, he has become his confidant. He has no ability, but can enter and exit the court.
"Humph, is this something you can discuss? You are just an official. You can go to court to give the prince face."
Li Lu had climbed up the ranks in the army, and what he disliked the most was people like this who used sweet talk to get to the top.
As a general, Li Lu naturally had deep power in the court. Unfortunately, he was only in the army, and he was always proud and disdainful of talking to ordinary people, so his popularity was not very good.
When Mrs. Yinglie saw Li Lu at the bottom, her heart suddenly tightened. Yes, how could she forget that the king was unconscious at this time, and Li Lu and Lian Angxiong were the leaders in the army.
Lian Angxiong is nearly sixty years old and may have already entered a state of semi-retirement, while Li Lu is in his prime...
The eyes of the heroic husband gradually became dangerous. From King Shang's coma to now, everyone was blinded. When he woke up, he was caught in the fight between two camps coveting the throne of the king.
Now that I suddenly woke up, I was a little afraid of Li Lu!
This person has always been arrogant. Although he is respectful to me, he speaks loudly, and I often feel that he is hurting me.
Mrs. Yinglie often secretly discusses this.
Guo Chong, with his head drooping, cupped his hands to please him and said, "General, this is the conclusion I came to after studying for a long time."
"As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. Once the young master refuses to take the throne, he will immediately send troops to the Xia Kingdom!"
The surrounding ministers took a breath of cold air, while the remaining ministers were still there with stern expressions on their faces.
Li Lu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised, showing a hint of disdain.
"Hmph, the position of the king is so important. At this time, the Xia Kingdom is showing signs of rising, and the Liao Kingdom is also ready to make a move. It is really a time of great strife. The young master is indeed very talented, but he still has little chance of success."
Young Master's smile suddenly stiffened and his face was ashen.
"General, do you have a problem with this young master?"
Young Master refused almost clenching his molar teeth and whispered.
Li Lugong cupped his hands and said loudly, "Master, please don't misunderstand me. I am only telling the truth without any selfish motives."
Just when the smell of gunpowder between the two gradually became stronger, a minister said directly.
"Young master is very smart and talented, but outside the palace, he indulges in vocal music and always misses the place of fireworks."
"As I see it, I think it would be better to make Gongzi Guan the king. After all, Gongzi Guan is the king's legitimate son, and his mother's family is from a family of high officials. He is mature and prudent, and he is worthy of the important task."
In an instant, many ministers immediately agreed.
"Yes, Young Master, the position of king is very important, you can't grasp it."
"Yes, yes, you might as well go outside to the fireworks place and play with women more."
"Hahaha, the young master refuses to be a celebrity in the land of fireworks. He is known as the overlord of Fuyan's golden spear. He can control many girls at night without getting tired."
"Hahahahahahaha!!!"
After a long time, two-thirds of the ministers began to laugh.
If Zhang Yumeng were here, he would be very surprised. Can the minister still talk to the prince like this?
The identity of the young master is left to future generations. A proper prince who dares to say such things is not afraid of being liquidated.
But if Yang Qian were here, he would feel that it was normal. This world was an era where the king and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled together. The scholar-bureaucrats could wear swords when they went to the palace.
Some scholar-bureaucrats, especially young men, will also be slandered by the king if they damage their interests. It will still be the kind of slander by dozens of powerful families.
Therefore, even though the young master was full of dissatisfaction, he did not dare to confront Li Lu. When the noise quieted down, everyone involuntarily looked at Zhai Ku, wondering why he was also the prime minister.
