Chapter 6: Breaking the Cocoon (V)

Six out of Qishan and seven out of the seventh time. Zhuge Kongming devoted himself to his work until his death. When he came to this place, he always closed the book and sighed. But if he thought about it from the darkness, who knew that Zhuge Wuhou was not afraid of Liu Chan who became an adult, and would rather die of exhaustion than give up his military power?

How similar was Guo Wei's situation at this moment to Zhuge Kongming back then? He was entrusted with an orphan, and was like a brother and sister with the dead old emperor. He also met a foolish little emperor, who also held heavy troops and had great achievements to shock the master...

"It's just like Chang Kegong, you have to be respectful!" Guo Wei, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor of the Han Dynasty, looked darker and brighter, and darker. In the end, both eyes were filled with melancholy, holding an empty wine cup and sighing to the sky.

"That's different. Just relying on Chang Kegong and the five hundred pieces under his command, it's not called self-respecting, or a bet on a bad life." Zheng Renhui shook his head, laughed and ridiculed.

"Huh?" Guo Wei didn't expect anyone to look down on Chang Kegong so much, and he couldn't help but frown.

Zheng Renhui shrugged and added with a smile, "There are only five hundred pieces in total. If the late emperor really did make a ruthless move, Chang Kegong would have died for many times. So, I said he was gambling. The late emperor was very suspicious and dared not take the risk of making you and Shi Hongzhao and others completely disappointed. Before Li Shouzhen, Du Chongwei and Fu Yanqing were eliminated, the late emperor had no time to deal with him. And you are completely different. Even with the power you are currently in control, it is enough to subvert the Han Dynasty. So as long as you do not take the initiative to jump into the trap, the little emperor can only respect you and coax you, instead of forcing you to rebel!"

"That's true, but where can we find enough targets in China to attack Khitan? I don't have the strength to attack, and the court will not give me any support!" Guo Wei smiled bitterly and filled the wine cup again, and there was still a depressed aura at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

Reorganizing the rivers and mountains and recapturing Yan Yun, for more than ten years, was almost the biggest driving force that supported his unremitting efforts. Now, the monarch and ministers have reached such a point, and there is no possibility for the Han Dynasty to send troops and soldiers to the north.

"Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong and other clowns are definitely not your opponent!" Zheng Renhui smiled confidently and lowered his voice to analyze, "But since the little emperor asked you to be the head coach, how to fight and how long it took depends entirely on your idea. If you ignore the money, you will definitely be able to fight quickly. But if you want to win beautiful things, you will not hurt your muscles at all, so you have to spend more time and time. Anyway, as long as you win beautiful things in the end, the little emperor and the civil and military officials in the court will not be able to say anything even if they are picky!"

"Oh!" Guo Wei sighed and nodded slightly. Since he was ready to gain a strong army, he was of course reluctant to lose his children under his command. After going to Hezhong, he could only take wisdom first. There was no way to think about it, so he would not spare any money to launch a strong attack.

After fighting for half his life, this was the first time he had gone against his original intention and put his preservation of his strength first. So he felt awkward no matter what.

"Are you unwilling to kill someone? Isn't this just your wish?" When guessing why Guo Wei sighed, Zheng Renhui smiled and shook his head, "Since Gao Xingzhou has already secretly talked with the little emperor, he will definitely not rebel again. Brother Yu speculated that the reason why he had secretly hooked up with Fu Yanqing was actually just to sell the Gao family to a better price. Fu Yanqing became more and more stable as he grew older. Without Gao Xingzhou's cooperation, he would naturally not risk his army to rise up easily. So even if you didn't lead the army to take charge, from Yedu to Qingzhou in a short time, he would have settled down."

"That's natural, otherwise, Your Majesty wouldn't rush to transfer me to the river!" As he said that the world's general trend in front of him, Guo Wei's thinking returned to his original keenness, smiled and nodded slightly.

"However, Xiongzhou, Bazhou and Mozhou, these places that are only separated from Yanyun, may soon be ignited again." Zheng Renhui's tone suddenly changed, he shrugged and added with a sneer, "I just received a secret report that a small group of Youzhou Han army had crossed the Juma River. Xiong, Ba, the governor of Mo Sanzhou, as well as the nearby Baoning Army and Yiwu Army, did not have any warning messages to Bianliang!"

"Brother, the governors of the three states, Baoning and Yiwu armies, had a sense of disobedience?" Guo Wei's brow jumped up quickly, his upper body straightened like a flag gun, and his murderous aura penetrated his body.

"Look, when you mention the Liao Kingdom's invasion in the south, you are energetic! You forgot that the little emperor doesn't trust you at all, right?" Zheng Renhui rolled his eyelids and ridiculed quietly, "Is it possible that Liu Chengyou is so stupid that he is not allowed to leave a way out for himself?! What if the Han Kingdom is lost by Liu Chengyou one day? Those three states and two armies are at the edge of the Liao people, and their strength is not enough to protect themselves. What other choice can be made in addition to actively surrendering to the Liao Kingdom?"

"He, are they all Han people?" Guo Wei was so angry that he clenched his teeth, but he couldn't say too much, so he could only repeatedly emphasize the differences in each other's bloodlines.

"The Privy Councilor of the Southern Court of Liao Kingdom, Han Kuangsi, who is also a Han Chinese!" Zheng Renhui curled his lips with disdain on his face, "When life is at stake, what is the difference between China and the barbarians? They can't stop the Liao Kingdom's troops, and there is no powerful court behind them to rely on. Surrendering, at least they can save the people under their rule from the poison! Besides, they are not surrendering now, just secretly finding a way out for themselves and their families. I don't believe that there are no officials in Youzhou who secretly communicate with the Han Dynasty!"

"It's true that there are several companies that have contacted me alone!" Guo Wei said that he had no choice but to nod and admit it. "I made an appointment. One day the Han army attacked Yanyun in the north, they would immediately offer the city."

"Isn't that all! Nowadays, isn't the so-called loyalty just that? Besides, their behaviors at both ends of the head and rat will not harm you at all, so why should you be too serious?" Zheng Renhui shrugged and asked with a sneer. "The Liao Kingdom has just experienced an internal strife and cannot make every effort to plot against the Central Plains. In the past one or two years, even if the troops have gone south, they are mainly the Han army in Youzhou, and they will not go deep into the Han territory too deep. As long as the Liao troops go south, Xiong, Ba and Mo Sanzhou officially fall to the Liao Kingdom, you can lead troops to Qizhou to resist foreign invaders. This expedition will probably take another three to five years!"

"It's enough to have three or five years to make a buffer. Maybe by then, the young master will become wise!" Although his family seemed to be in disguise, Guo Wei felt very heavy when he heard it. He pondered for a while and said with some hope.

"Three or five years are enough for the brothers to see clearly whether Liu Chengyou is qualified to be an emperor!" Zheng Renhui's thoughts were completely opposite to his. He curled his lips and whispered.

"Yes, alas--!" Thinking of the reactions of his generals when Wang Jun got angry in the afternoon, Guo Wei nodded, "It's too hasty for everyone to make a decision now. It's better to be able to delay it for three or five years than now. If he could delay it until Guo closed his eyes, he would be willing!"

"You are a typical woman's kindness!"

"Women, just women. My nickname is Guo Family Bird. The sparrow doesn't know the ambition of a swan!" Guo Wei grinned and mocked himself.

Zheng Renhui was so angry that he had no temper that he had to transport chopsticks to the cold vegetables on the incense table. Guo Wei himself, from the changes in the situation in Xiongzhou, Bazhou and Mozhou, recalled his adopted son Chai Rong who was ordered to lead the caravan north. He hesitated for a moment and asked in a very low voice, "Brother, maybe he heard about Jungui recently? Where did he go after he left the caravan? Why didn't he even have any news yet?"

"I'm just about to tell you about this!" Zheng Renhui nodded and gave the answer carefully, "But you must keep calm and not be impulsive. According to the latest secret report I received this afternoon, the Han army in Youzhou turned into small groups of bandits and went south, and it is very likely that they were chasing them. Xiong, Ba, the governor of Mo Sanzhou, and the nearby Baoning Army. The Yiwu army made a fortune in silence. It must have made a deal with Youzhou in advance, allowing the other party to cross the border to get people, but they did not intend to lose an inch of land!"

"Damn it!" Guo Wei was so angry that he punched the incense table, which made the dishes and wine splash. "If something happened to Jun Gui, I would kill them all by the court!"

Zheng Renhui quickly lowered his head and picked up the dish that had fallen on the ground again. While stacking the incense table, he blamed him with a smile, "I told you, don't be anxious, you are still so impulsive! You can't send a large army to support you immediately!"

"If he has something to do, how can I be worthy of my deceased wife?!" Guo Wei quickly realized his disobedience, smiled embarrassedly, and explained in a low voice.

Zheng Renhui was out of the matter, so he performed much more calmly than Guo Wei at this moment. He waved his hand again and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, Jungui is not that easy to catch, and the opponent's main target is not him. As long as the three states and two armies on the border do not help the pursuers sent by Youzhou, the ordinary 10 or 20 rats may not be the opponent of the three brothers!"

"Three brothers?" Guo Wei was stunned and asked hesitantly.

"You forgot about killing the thief in Yizhou. At that time, the three brothers showed their big faces!"

"Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming are still with him?" Guo Weiwen felt more and more surprised, "Where have the three of them been there during this period? Oh my God, could they have gone to Yingzhou?"

"I'm afraid that's it, otherwise the Liao people would not be determined to win the three of them!"

"Oh my God, this kid. I won't deal with him hard when I come back. I always think that what I tell him is like in front of me!" Guo Wei was worried and angry. His fingers clenched into fists, and the joints clattered.

He always treated Chai Rong as his own son, and of course he could not stand his son holding his head to visit Shi Chonggui. What's more, Shi Chonggui was the emperor of the previous dynasty, and Guo Wei was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Han Dynasty. He had already been suspicious of the little emperor, and he was even more unaware of the fact that he was involved with the emperor of the previous dynasty.
