Chapter 363(1/2)
State - In the city lord's mansion, Liu Qinghou leaned against a grand lord's chair, and a kind-hearted reply: "Sir, everything is as you expected. The Western Barbarian General really captured the Prime Minister!"
Liu Qinghou put the teacup in his hand on the table next to him. He heard this and just nodded and sold Shao She to the Western Barbarians. There seemed to be no need to fight again in this battle in Mizhou.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom cared about the prime minister who played power and politics, and Liu Qinghou had some understanding of it. My father had made a mistake in his chess game. He shouldn't have been stubborn with Shao She, but now he is in a difficult position. If he could kill Shao She this time, it would be fine. Otherwise, what would he explain to His Majesty after he went back?
He and Shao She were about the same age as him. In the early years, he was a famous playboy in the capital. He was born in a famous family and had a wealthy family. He also did a lot of ridiculous things when he was young.
At that time, although Shao Xuan was also the prime minister of the dynasty, the Shao family could not be compared with the Liu family. He often brought a group of rich children from the capital to fight with Shao You on the street...
Shao She was not very conspicuous at that time, but she looked handsome and handsome...
When Your Majesty ascended the throne, Shao She became His Majesty’s new favorite minister. He entered the official career at the age of fifteen and was in the second rank. Then, Your Majesty appreciated him a lot, and even left him to stay in the palace... Shao She, who was young and successful, showed his sharpness.
Then, the battle to destroy Yin made Shao She identify his unshakable position in the court in the future, and the position of Minister of War, which seemed to be his position as Minister of War, also fell on Shao You.
When Shao Xuan sued his retreat, His Majesty wanted to make him the prime minister. However, because Shao She was too young and there were too many ridiculous things, many censors impeached him, he was considered a sack. However, His Majesty brought out a senior king as a cover.
Everyone knows that Wang Xiang didn't care about the matter at all, and the person in charge was the prime minister Shao She.
He had never seen this literati Shao She, who could not hold his shoulders, had no shoulders. However, he found that he still underestimated His Majesty's favor for the Shao family...
Shao She did such a great rebellion. If someone else had punished the nine clans, he would have been punished. However, His Majesty did not even say a word of punishment to Shao She.
He is still a prime minister and the Shao family is still highly favored...
"I hope that Jiang Meng can kill Shao She directly!" Liu Qinghou said hatefully in his heart. But he also knew that Jiang Meng would not kill Shao She. If he still had some brains, he would never kill Shao She. Keeping him is much more useful than killing him.
"Report—" Suddenly, a spy from the front army sentry camp reported loudly. "Report to the master. The Western Barbarian army attacked the city at night."
"What?" Liu Qinghou was shocked and hurriedly stood up and said, "How many people have come?"
Recently, many battles with the Western Barbarians seemed to be playing around. Three thousand and five thousand soldiers clamored to fight for a while, and then they all withdrew their troops. Therefore, even if the Western Barbarians attacked, it would be no big deal.
"I don't know--" The spy was obviously a confused guy.
"What?" Liu Qinghou was a little shocked.
"Sir--" A guard of Liu Qinghou ran in and panted, "Sir, it's not good, the city gate is almost impossible..."
"Ah?" Liu Qinghou shouted anxiously, "Get my battle robe!"
"Master Liu!" The moment Liu Qinghou turned around, he heard the voice of Qian Wenbaodi, the governor of Mizhou, coming from the door: "Sir, wait!"
Liu Qinghou turned around, but saw Qian Wenbao standing at the gate of the city lord's mansion with a few of them in casual clothes.
"Master Qian!" Liu Qinghou hurriedly said, "Why are you here?"
"Will I not come when the Western Barbarians attack my city of Mizhou?" Qian Wenbao's face was full of smiles, his fat face, and his eyes were almost squinting. Although Mizhou is not as rich as Jiangnan, I think it's a lot of oil and water, which makes Qian Wenbao, the governor of Mizhou, feels full of energy.
"Mr. Qian just don't worry. I will face the enemy in person. How can I ask the Western Barbarian Army to come? How can I go back?" said Liu Qinghou. While he was speaking, Liu Qinghou's confidant had already sent a battle robe, so Liu Qinghou could change his clothes.
"So, Lord Liu!" Qian Wenbao bowed to Liu Qinghou.
"I dare not take it!" ~ Hou Bui
"Come, pour wine for General Liu-" Qian Wenbao said loudly, "I wish General Liu a victory in the flag." As he spoke, a servant had already come with a wine pot and a wine cup.
Qian Wenbao personally held the pot, poured a glass of wine for Liu Qinghou, held it with both hands, and delivered it to Liu Qinghou.
Liu Qinghou was not convenient to push, so he hurriedly took it. He thanked him again and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you, Lord Qian, I will go now-" As he said that, he hurriedly changed his battle robe and walked towards the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Just a few steps away, Liu Qinghou suddenly felt his body unsteadily standing, and he was not surprised. A glass of wine would not be able to bear the power of drinking, right? No, there is something wrong with this wine...
"Mr. Qian... what kind of wine are you?" Liu Qinghou suddenly felt that he couldn't lift up a trace of strength all over his body, but his mind was still sober.
"A very ordinary old flower carving!" Qian Wenbao smiled while squinting his eyes and crossing his legs, and sat down on the chair, "But I added some ingredients to it."
"You... do you know that the Western Barbarians' army attacked the city..." Liu Qinghou was so angry that the stars in front of him were scattered, but he had a little strength.
When I got up, my whole body was soft.
"Of course I know, I know even more - General Liu sold my mentor to the Western Barbarian Army!" Qian Wenbao suddenly stood up, stared at Liu Qinghou fiercely, then spat on his face, put away his fat smile, and cursed, "Damn, do you think you are the thing above, and you actually dare to betray my mentor?"
"Are you Shao She's disciple?" Liu Qinghou frowned. Qian Wenbao was actually Shao She's disciple?
"Shut up!" Qian Wenbao said angrily, "You can call my teacher's name?"
Liu Qinghou laughed anxiously: "Shao She is using power to play politics and deceives His Majesty. He comes to Mizhou privately this time, and he doesn't know where he is? You actually rebel for a gossip from the Western Barbarian generals. He gave the important land of Mizhou to the Western Barbarians? Are those Western Barbarian thieves good at dealing with him? In front of His Majesty, I want to see in the future that you can afford this crime of collusion with the enemy and treason."
"That's my business, General Lao Liu cares about it!" Qian Wenbao sneered.
"Mr. Qian, Mr. Shao is here!" Qian Wenbaodi walked in quickly and bowed to salute.
"Please!" Qian Wen said, winked at his several of his followers, and ordered them to take care of Liu Qinghou, but he tidied up his clothes and strode out to greet him.
However, pairs of Western Barbarians rushed in, but then all Western Barbarians unfolded on both sides in an orderly manner. Then - a royal blue eight-piece sedan chair, eight black-clothed servants carried the sedan chair, and small silver bells hung around the sedan chair, with crisp and pleasant sounds, spreading far away in the dark...
The royal blue sedan chair has been staying in front of the city lord's mansion. Qian Wenbao strode forward and knelt down in front of the sedan chair and said, "Qian Wenbao bows to his mentor."
Liu Qinghou was shocked. The person in the sedan chair was actually Shao She? Wasn't he captured by the Western Barbarians? How could he appear here?
If he had not fallen into the Western Barbarian army, why did Qian Wenbao control him with poison? For a moment, Liu Qinghou felt it was incredible.
After pressing down the sedan chair, a servant raised the curtain and helped Shao She, who was wearing a royal blue robe, get out of the sedan chair. Liu Qinghou stood at the door, and naturally could see clearly - that person was indeed Shao She...
"Get up!" Shao She nodded at Qian Wenbao, held a servant, and turned around and walked inside.
"Mr. Liu, are we meeting so soon?" Shao She nodded at Liu Qinghou, and was already sitting down on the chair on the main seat. Qian Wenbao was busy holding the new tea himself and winking at his accompanying.
Qian Wenbao has been in Mizhou for many years, and Mizhou is naturally his confidants. Liu Qinghou led a large army to Mizhou. Although he gave him as much satisfaction and respect as possible on the surface, in fact, he was still the one who presided over the overall situation in Mizhou. Liu Qinghou was just stationed here for the time being.
Of course, Liu Qinghou was stationed in Mizhou and did not think about using this to control all kinds of Mizhou. As long as Qian Wenbao did not face him, he would naturally turn a blind eye and just pass by if he could. Everything else matters.
However, he never dreamed that Qian Wenbao was Shao She's person, and Shao She would actually come to Mizhou privately? He had a great life in the capital, but in chaos, what did he do as a civil servant in Mizhou?
What he was even more unexpected was that Qian Wenbao and Shao She communicated information with each other and actually gave him such a sudden change? The Western Barbarian army was obviously not fake. In this way, the relationship between Shao She and the Western Barbarians...
When Liu Qinghou thought of this, he couldn't help but shivered.
"Mr. Shao is not willing to enjoy the glory and wealth of the capital. He runs to the border areas such as Mizhou. I don't know what's going on?" Although Liu Qinghou was captured, he was not afraid. After all, he was also the second-rank mighty general named by His Majesty. Even Shao She had no right to do this.
Upon hearing this, Shao She couldn't help but pat his legs and sighed: "I don't want to run either--but I'm born with this hard work, I can't run without running."
When Liu Qinghou heard this, he couldn't help but snorted and asked loudly: "Mr. Shao, it's okay for you to come to Mizhou, but why did you collude with the Western Man and give my Mizhou a great country to the Western Man?"
"When will I hand over Mizhou to the Western Man?" Shao She took the tea handed over by Qian Wenbao, sipped it gently, and asked with a smile.
Liu Qinghou sneered: "Are all Western barbarian soldiers falsely?"
"Really!" Shao She nodded, "It's really not true, it's like a false one!" He learned this sentence from Shao Shuhuan, and he didn't know where he learned these lies.
"Then I don't know how Lord Shao explains this?" Liu Qinghou snorted and said coldly.
"Explanation?" Shao She chuckled, "Mr. Liu, do I need to explain to you? If I were you, I would consider my situation on the spot."
"I am the army of your Majesty's imperial fief. I wonder if you can't do anything to me!" Liu Qinghou said loudly.
"Haha——" Shao She laughed when she heard this, "Your Majesty's general is not allowed to be killed, right?"
"You..." Liu Qinghou changed his face when he heard this. He never dreamed that Shao She wanted to kill him?
"Mr. Liu, let's have a relationship with you. I thought you were not too stupid, at least not as stupid as Liu Yan, but now it seems that you are really confused. Didn't your family have a beautiful daughter? Is there anything that I can't match her? Even if he is not the royal heir, my Shao family is not worthy of the foundation, or the family is not worthy of the family,
He looks and character are not worthy of it? Just for the girl of your family, what are you? Let me tell you the truth. You just left the capital, and he had already ordered you not to let you go back alive. You said - do you still hope to go back? Even if you go back, will your Liu family still have a foothold in the capital?" Shao She stood up, walked to him, and smiled indifferently.
"Hmph!" Liu Qinghou suddenly changed his face when he heard this, and said angrily, "Shao She, don't be proud, don't think that you can block the world's vast mouths by hiding the world. Who doesn't know the tricks of your Shao family? Relying on his appearance, he looks a little like a child from the previous queen, pretends to be the emperor's heir, and makes a ill-gotten plot - Your Majesty will not be deceived by you for the rest of your life."
"Yes, Your Majesty will not be deceived by me!" Shao She nodded, "What will happen to me in the future? That's a story later. Lord Liu can't see it anyway. If someone comes, take Liu Qinghou to the prison first and take it seriously." At the last sentence, he raised his voice for no reason.
"Yes!" The Western barbarians on both sides agreed like thunder. Several people stepped forward and pulled Liu Qinghou and were about to leave.
At this moment, Jiang Meng walked in. Seeing Liu Qinghou, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "General Liu, I knew that you wouldn't be my opponent!"
"I have a farmland, you are fucking fighting with me openly!" Liu Qinghou also took his leave and even sweared.
"It would be fine if it's okay, but now - General Liu, I don't have time to mess with you!" Jiang Meng said, strode to Shao She, half-kneeling down to salute, "Report to the lord, Mizhou City has been completely controlled."
"Master?" Liu Qing was shocked and looked up at Shao She.
Shao She ignored him and nodded: "Is there any movement in Nanxia?"
"Not yet!" Jiang Meng said, "We wait for the 50,000 troops to rush to Liusha River tonight, meet with Lord Tiehuan Tie's army, and station in Liusha River."
"On the other side of the Hei Shui River!" Shao She asked.
Liu Qinghou couldn't hide his shock. What was he going to do? He wanted to listen to it again, but Shao She's personal guard had dragged him down long ago.
"There is Luo Zhan garrison on the Heishui River for the time being, and the 80,000 troops of the Great Zhou Kingdom guarded it. I think it will be fine, but the food and grass on our side are afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty will not supply it." Jiang Meng whispered, "It seems that it is too far away to call food and grass from my Western Man."
"It's okay, the grain and grass are called directly from Jiangnan. I have prepared for it. Whether it is supplying Heishui River or Mizhou, it is enough. Jiangnan has always been rich, so there is no need to worry about the grain and grass!" Shao She sat down on the chair and sighed, "Is there any trend in the capital?" The last sentence was asked by Qian Wenbao.
"Reporting to my mentor, there is no news in the capital. However, it has been arranged along the way. As long as Palace Huan comes down, he will definitely lead him to the place we have prepared early." Qian Wenbao bowed and said.
"Well..." Shao She nodded, "He has a master around him, so it is impossible to stop him. As long as he can pull him for a few days, it is also good."
Qian Wenbao was a little worried. It was really difficult to bend his fat body: "Mr., just like this, I will describe treason. In the future—" If His Majesty knew about it, how could he tolerate them?
"What are you afraid of?" Shao She shook his head and smiled, "Even if there is wind and rain, it won't hit you - treason? If you can leave the God of War in Heishui River this time, how can you say treason? What's more, Your Majesty knows that I'm in Mizhou..."
Jiang Meng was a little puzzled and asked with his fists: "Lord, since we have sufficient food and supplies, we are strong and strong, why not take the initiative to attack? Why should we wait for the God of War to come here?"
When Shao She heard this, he sighed. If he could, he really didn't want to fight such an unsure battle. In fact, he had no confidence in the fight with the God of War this time. Moreover, this battle can be said to be a personal grudge, and he and Murphy eventually turned against each other.
"The Nanxialong Imperial Guard is in Hei Shui. How easy is it to attack strongly?" Shao She shook his head and said.
