Chapter 666: Solicitation
There were thunderous footsteps and a slightly arrogant laughter from outside. Zhu Youzhen put down the book in his hand helplessly. Tian Guofeng was always like this without any shape. If it were placed in the past, Zhu Youzhen would have very disliked such a guy who was unruly and could not teach him many times, but now he likes this kind of personality.
In his opinion, such a person has a clear distinction between love and hate, and his emotions are reflected in his expression, and he can see the truth at a glance. On the contrary, Chen Fu is a little gloomy and hard to understand. You don’t know what he is thinking and what he wants.
Of course, Chen Fu is much more efficient when it comes to doing things.
The door sounded lightly, and Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu walked in.
"Your Highness, such a life is really good!" Tian Guofeng's face was flushed. As soon as she spoke, her mouth full of alcohol sprayed on Zhu Youzhen's face, forcing Zhu Youzhen to dodge.
"Depending on your appearance, I drank a lot. What kind of noodles did I eat at the restaurant? Is the 200 taels of silver I gave you enough?" Zhu Youzhen laughed.
"It's useless?" Tian Guofeng took out a bag from her arms, and it jingled inside, "It's just twenty taels."
"Twenty taels?" Zhu Youzhen said in confusion: "Where is such a cheap place?"
"Twenty taels were used to buy wine." Tian Guofeng said: "The food was not paid for, and I didn't go to any restaurant. I found a abandoned garden."
“How many people?”
"About twenty, there are not many officials, the biggest one is a Xuanjie lieutenant." Tian Guofeng said excitedly: "I asked someone to buy wine, and then I touched a few chickens and a dog!"
Zhu Youzhen looked at him dumbfoundedly, and then said for a while: "You, are you really addicted to being a thief? What do you ask those people to think of you? What do you think of me?"
Seeing Zhu Youzhen's somewhat unhappy look, Tian Guofeng was stunned and said, "Your Highness, but they are all very happy. The Xuanjie Captain personally touched a piece of bacon and stole a piece of bacon from his house! Everyone was eating happily and drinking happily. They said that as long as your Highness gave his order, they would go through the water without hesitation."
After hearing Tian Guofeng's words, Zhu Youzhen really couldn't speak out. It's true that snakes have snake ways, rats have rats, and kill pigs and tails. Everyone has their own way of killing!
But as long as the effect is good.
"Your Highness, I will give you the silver!" Tian Guofeng picked up the silver bag and presented it to Zhu Youzhen with both hands.
"Forget it, you can take it. Remember to buy wine again when you look back and steal with these people. This friendship always requires two or three, and meet more often to maintain it. You might as well ask for the difficulties of these people. If there is, you will naturally have to help. If the money is not enough, just come back and get it." Zhu Youzhen said.
"Okay!" Tian Guofeng smiled and put the silver back in her arms.
"Chen Fu, where are you?" Seeing Tian Guofeng sucking lazily to a chair in the corner of the house, her eyelids drooped, and she actually started to sleep. Zhu Youzhen shook her head and turned to look at Chen Fu.
Unlike Tian Guofeng, Chen Fujian's people have much higher status. Not only are there men and generals, but also record officers and military officials who hold real power, such as military officers and military officers.
"Your Highness, these people have a higher vision, so I spend so much money you give me." Chen Fu spread his hands and said.
"It's okay, as long as you can spend it, it's a good thing, but are you sure these people will be loyal to me?"
"Your Highness, Hou Xiyi is like a candle in the wind, a lamp in the rain, and a swaying wind and rain are something that can be seen. And you have no mistake in your status here, climbing high branches to seek wealth and honor. Besides, Hou Xiyi wants to run away and has been planning these things long ago. How could he hide them from ordinary people? It is a bit heartbroken. Hou Xiyi has no intention of helping them, so they naturally cannot share the honor and disgrace of Hou Xiyi."
Zhu Youzhen felt sad: "This is the lesson. These troops were originally the personal troops that Hou Xiyi trusted the most, but now they betrayed him without hesitation. If the superiors are not upright, how can they hope to die!"
"Your Highness, I will continue to contact these people. The people they interact with Guofeng are different. They value the future and the prospects. I hope that when necessary, Your Highness can meet them in person and give them a reassurance." Chen Fu glanced at Tian Guofeng next to him.
"Okay, this matter will be discussed after I reach an agreement with Sun Tonglin." Zhu Youzhen went around the house several times and said, "If you don't deal with Sun Tonglin, this matter will be very troublesome after all."
"Yes." Chen Fu nodded.
"General Cao Bin will arrive in Qingzhou in ten days." Zhu Youzhen suddenly said. "Xu Xiang is very capable, Tai'an has settled down now."
"In ten days, Hou Xiyi should also return to Qingzhou, right?" Chen Fu said with a smile.
"That's right!" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
"I don't know how the front line is playing? If Liu Xinda wins, all our arrangements will be overwhelmed." Chen Fu was a little worried.
"This is why I have to fight for Sun Tonglin." Zhu Youzhen said: "As long as Sun Tonglin is invading us, even if Liu Xinda wins, we can still take Hou Xiyi and replace him. If this is the case, it would be a great thing. Liu Xinda is just a strong general. At that time, he will give more kindness and support, and he will not be afraid that he will not rely on us. However, it will be too difficult to win. Once the Yellow River defense line is lost, the entire Pinglu will not be far from failure, and there will be less time left for us."
Chen Fu dragged Tian Guofeng, who was sleepy and left Zhu Youzhen's residence. Zhu Youzhen was still happy, but she was actually anxious and uneasy. Three days passed by Sun Tonglin's consideration. Zhu Youzhen, who seemed to be calm, was really nervous.
If you want to accomplish great things, manpower and financial resources are indispensable, and Sun can provide him with these. More importantly, as long as you convince Sun, most of the powerful people in Pinglu will follow you.
Zhu Youzhen wanted to take all these people away.
It takes time.
Every day is extremely precious.
One day earlier, he could withdraw more of the living forces.
Another day passed, just as Zhu Youzhen's patience was almost exhausted, Sun Tonglin finally arrived.
"Mr. Sun, do you know that I live like a year, and I hope that Mr. Sun will come here like a long drought, and I long for the rain to fall?" Zhu Youzhen did not hide his enthusiasm: "I just hope Mr. Sun will bring me good news."
"If what I gave to Your Highness is not good news, is Your Highness going to kill my Sun clan?" Today, Sun Tonglin was dressed quite formally. After bowing, he stood up and smiled.
"Mr. Sun was joking." Zhu Youzhen said: "This is Qingzhou. Even if I have this heart, it is difficult to have this courage and do not have such strength. So I can only gather if I get together, and if I don't get along. Mr. Sun, please sit down!"
The two of them sat down, and Sun Tonglin said, "I know that your highness has not been idle for a moment after arriving in Qingzhou. Now, most of the troops in Qingzhou have fallen to your highness, right?"
"I was not prepared to hide it from Mr. Sun." Zhu Youzhen said calmly. "It is difficult for Shuai to accomplish anything. I can't watch these great men become the trophy of the Tang army."
Sun Tonglin said: "I came today to discuss the future with the Third Prince. I want to see if the Third Prince is worth my Sun's efforts."
Zhu Youzhen sat upright, "Please speak out for the first time by Sun Gong."
"The Third Prince is the weakest in the three princes of Daliang, right?"
"It depends on how Mr. Sun looked at it." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
Sun Tonglin nodded: "Jingxiang must support you, and your highness's foreign aid should be Tianping Cao Xuan. With the support of both of them, it is no wonder that Your Highness has the intention to win the championship. What Your Highness is most deficient now is that you lack an army that you can control yourself, so you came here."
"Not bad!" Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "It seems that I'm right now. At least now, my subordinates have increased to tens of thousands."
Sun Tonglin pondered: "When the general trend is now clear, it is nothing more than a battle between the Li family in Zhenzhou and the Zhu family in Xuanwu. Although there are many princes in the south, it is difficult to make a difference. Xiang Xun is at best just a disruptor. If my Sun family goes to Lingnan, the best result is to be a rich man. If he joins Li Ze in Zhenzhou, there will be no chance in politics. Li Ze is too cautious about people like us. And the Sun family will never want to sink into an ordinary family. Therefore, Your Highness has indeed given us a choice, and I, Sun family, is willing to take a chance."
Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and bowed: "Sun Gong is like this, Youzhen will never let down his future."
Sun Tonglin waved his hand and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to do this. You need to strengthen your strength. We also need a political status to protect the interests of our family. This is just an equivalent exchange. But Your Highness, please give us Sun's guarantee."
"What does Mr. Sun want?"
"I have a granddaughter, and I am just in my prime." Sun Tonglin said: "Marriage is something that our Sun wants to see."
Zhu Youzhen was stunned and said, "Mr. Sun, Youzhen has a wife. She is the daughter of my former general. Her father and brother all died in battle for me. If I abandon her and marry her, the world will be afraid that she will abandon me."
"We do not plan to be the official position." Sun Tonglin smiled and said, "Your Highness is the king, so you can naturally have a concubine. If Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, he will be the imperial concubine. In this way, Sun is willing to be the best for His Highness to be the first and second, and to serve as a horse."
"If I accept a concubine, I also need the emperor's order."
"It's enough to just need your highness to agree. My Sun family naturally doesn't worry about your highness repentance. As for the marriage, it's natural that my Sun family can do it after they move to Guanzhong." Sun Tonglin said.
