Chapter 103
: Six hundred thousand coins
Tian Wei nodded, and Lu Fang, who was sitting in the crowd, secretly guessed that the envoy did not surprise him. The purpose of coming was to stimulate the ambitions of An Renyi and Tian Wei, so that they could preserve their strength, stabilize the enemy in this direction, and eliminate Dong Chang first. Their idea was consistent with him, and this was something to be discussed. Since this is the case, the two families had differences was the price they demanded. Whoever showed the trump card in this negotiation finally could get it. Don't speak out to see what he had plans.
The Confucian scholar did not care about the bad eyes of the people in the account, and continued to talk about it: "Since ancient times, no trees were decayed and the branches and leaves were lush. Dong Chang had been in charge of Liangzhe for more than ten years, with more soldiers and sufficient food, and was extremely rich. However, once he usurped the title and planned to rebel, his subordinates immediately deviated from him. The period of destruction of the clan was not far away. Why? Although the emperor of Chang'an was declining, the people were not disgusted. He was not loyal to the superiors, and his subordinates were not loyal to him. Therefore, although there were tens of thousands of people, the mountains were rich, they collapsed. Now, General An and Tian envoys both had strong troops. If they were tribute to the court and sought the king's order, they would be one prince, and the surrounding areas of Xuanrun were dark and weak, and they could be taken. Why should they resist the imperial edict and rescue the rebel Dong Chang?"
Only then did Lu Fang hear the smell next to him. The envoy went around in a big circle, asking An Renyi and Tian Wei to directly seek official positions from the emperor and skip Yang Xingmi. Although theoretically speaking, Tian Wei was the governor of Ningguo and An Renyi was also the envoy of Runzhou Tuan. Both of them had the right to write letters directly to the court, but they were Yang Xingmi's subordinates, and doing so was simply telling Yang Xingmi that they wanted to make an independent move. In this way, the internal part of Huainan was divided, and the situation was
The power is naturally greatly reduced. As for what Dong Chang is planning to rebel, it is just a pretext. If Huainan does this to help rebels, the ghosts don’t believe it. The imperial edicts of the court are changing every few days, and no one takes him seriously. As long as you don’t be so stupid as to violate the bottom line of becoming an emperor and give the surrounding forces an excuse to attack him, it’s okay. The purpose of the envoy’s words is to lay nails between Yang Xingmi and Tian Wei and An Renyi, which is very far-reaching.
An Renyi was a heroic nature and rebelled against Wuchang. He had been from Li Keyong on the frontier earlier. However, because he had fled to Heyang to follow Qin Zongquan and went to Huainan to kill Qin Zongheng, the younger brother of Qin Zongquan, and he surrendered to Yang Xingmi. He also heard some of the words of the envoy, saying that there was no relationship between the monarch and the ministers between him and Yang Xingmi, but a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates. As long as he is loyal to the court, he can establish his own side. He is a partially born in the court. Now the court is just an empty shell, and anyone can use it.
The words sounded to his taste, but they were not practical, so he wanted him to stop his troops, so he became much gentler: "You scholar can speak, but now Xiling is just right in front of you, and the guards are just some new recruits who are not even able to catch guns. The Huainan army attacked both sides, and the entire Jiangnan West Road was within easy reach. But you asked me to turn around and write to the court to attack other territories. Wouldn't you put down the grass in front of you and ate the sand on the other side of the mountain?"
"General An's words are wrong. Although Xuanrun's army successfully crossed the river, the elite troops of Zhenhai were not damaged. There are still 20,000 elite troops in Hangzhou and nearly 20,000 people under Yuezhou. Xiling is a must-fight for Zhenhai. If General An advances to Xiling, the messenger of the money will have to fight against the city. Things are unpredictable. Can General An ensure victory? Even if he wins, General An's elite soldiers and soldiers will definitely be lost. That is just a matter of receiving the attack on the military. Why not swallow the troops here and see if they succeed or fail."
When An Renyi heard this, he smiled and looked at Lu Fang. The meaning was obvious: "Look at what you said is the same as what you said, is it that you two colluded with each other?"
Lu Fang looked back at An Renyi and stood up and said, "You are so ridiculous. My general is a general under Yang Envoy. The two are originally from the same family. How could there be any reason for a person to be attacked by others? Besides, if Dong Chang was destroyed, the Zhenhai Army would definitely return to attack me. I am waiting for you to attack Yuezhou for free here. Wouldn't you be fool?" Lu Fang deliberately bite the four words "Waiting for free" when he spoke.
The messenger was indeed a delicate person. He suddenly heard the point of Lu Fang's words and said with a smile: "Of course I'm not waiting for nothing. If General An stops his troops and raises his soldiers here and does not attack Xiling within a month, King Qian is willing to spend 300,000 yuan of military expenditures from Xuanrun's army."
Everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard this. The 300,000 yuan was indeed an astronomical figure. Lu Fang sneered and said, "No matter how much money is, will we not get it by ourselves? Besides, if the situation changes, the money envoy will be with us. I am afraid that no matter how much money is, it will not be able to exchange my life."
"I talked for a long time, but I don't know where this general holds the position of the general in the army?" The envoy thought at first that Lu Fang was just one of An Renyi's confidants, and said something that An Renyi was not easy to say directly. But afterwards, Lu Fang's words became more and more wrong, and he seemed to be the head of the camp. He was familiar with the situation in the Huainan army, but he didn't remember when such a person was there, so he asked.
Before Lu Fang could speak, An Renyi, the leader, took over the conversation and said, "This is my marching Sima of Runzhou, and the commander of the guerrilla general Lu Fang, what he said at this moment represents my meaning, but you can't help but listen."
The envoy was shocked. It turned out that this was Lu Fang, who had smuggled through Zhejiang and captured Fenglin Ferry. He seemed to have heard that the monk Lefan suffered a great loss in his hands several times, and even his illegitimate son died at his hands. Unexpectedly, it was the young man with a round face and smiling round face in front of him. He bowed and bowed and bowed and asked, "It turned out that General Lu was the one who had captured Fenglin Ferry. He was indeed not handsome, but how could General Lu be willing to truce with Qian Envoy?"
"As long as I agree to wait for two conditions, Xuan Runjun will no longer attack Xiling and may even retreat to the west bank of Zhejiang."
The messenger was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, the words were unreasonable. An Renyi still called him with the money, and he could not find anyone to sue him for not keeping his credibility. If he returned to the west bank of Zhejiang, unless they were breached the ferry by them again, there would be a natural danger in Zhejiang in Xiling, and he would be the one who could rely on Mount Tai. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "I hope to hear it carefully."
"One, give 300,000 guan each of Xuanrun's two prefectures a total of 600,000 guan. The second is the money to send the king's legitimate son to be hostage. As long as we agree to these two conditions, I will be equal to the truce of the Xiling." Lu Fang smiled very well, and the words he spoke were like thunder, which shocked everyone in the tent.
After hearing this, the messenger's face turned pale and his chest was drifting violently. It seemed that if he hadn't been well-educated, he would have been scolded in person. After a while, he calmed down and replied hatefully: "It would be fine to reward 600,000 yuan. If you want money to send the king's legitimate son as a charity, what's the difference between the army under the city of Hangzhou? This is too damning."
