Chapter 3 Hurricane II
"Yes, General Gao, who else can you?"
"General Gao is indeed the most appropriate candidate!"
"General Gao..."
Everyone talked and agreed to Zhao Kuangyin's proposal.
Gao Huaide originally planned to help Zheng Ziming with his help, but now he gained enough face and became more and more confident in taking action. He looked around, straightened his back straight, and then nodded with a smile, "Well, Gao will do his best. He will never let some narrow-minded people ruin Brother Zheng's future."
"I'm working hard!" Chai Rong smiled and bowed to Gao Huaide, then turned his gaze to Zheng Ziming, "Third brother, don't worry, even if the sky falls, let's take care of it together."
"Yes, with my elder brother and I, I will never allow others to stab you in the back!" Zhao Kuangyin also blushed and reiterated in a low voice.
"Thank you, thank you two brothers, thank you General Gao, thank you all brothers!" Zheng Ziming's heart, which was numb and numb, suddenly felt a few warmth, bowed down, and gently bowed to the surroundings. "If it weren't for you, Zheng would really be in chaos."
"Your brother doesn't have to say this!" Chai Rong smiled and waved his hand gently, "We will solve the matters of the court for you. But on my uncle, we have to find a way to bring him back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be delayed for a while and it will be unstoppable for a lifetime. Many of the Khitans' methods cannot work, and they will inevitably become angry!"
"I wish I had caught Liu Hao during the day!" Tao Sanchun suddenly interrupted, with annoyed look on his face.
She was simple-minded and had a relatively straightforward idea. Since the Liao Dynasty's ruler and ministers tied up Zheng Ziming's father as a meat ticket, why couldn't Zheng Ziming take the blame for his teeth and arrest Liu Chong's son Liu Hao? Then, don't be the first day of the lunar calendar, and I won't be the fifteenth day of the year. Sit down and discuss how to change generals.
"Isn't it? If I had known this, I should have sent more people to chase him during the day!"
"I thought he was Zhao Kuo, so I let him go. Oh, how could I think this person has this purpose?"
"Yes, why didn't we think of this floor earlier?"
...
As the saying goes, seeking medical treatment in an emergency, everyone can't think of any other way to help Zheng Ziming and Tao Sanchun's proposal become the only solution.
Zhao Kuangyin heard the discussions of everyone, his face was already rosy, and immediately became bloody. "I, I didn't mean to let him go, really isn't it! When I went to chase the enemy cavalry, I didn't notice Liu Hao at all. Later, Yang Chonggui led the army to pick him up. There were too few brothers around me and there were too few people and were too scarce, so I had to take the initiative to retreat."
"The second brother did the right thing at that time. We didn't plan to capture Liu Hao alive!" Zheng Ziming quickly took over the topic and took the initiative to exonerate Zhao Kuangyin. "He is a man with great ambition and talent, and narrow-mindedness. Keeping him on the side of the pseudo-han is far more effective than catching him on our side. Besides, Yang Chonggui is also a general of all battles. No one can win if he meets him in a hasty way!"
"We are not blaming General Zhao!" Hearing Zheng Ziming say this, the few people who had regretted not capturing Liu Hao alive were instantly aware that their words could easily cause misunderstandings. They quickly walked forward and explained to Zhao Kuangyin with a smile, "We, we are just, just, alas..."
"Okay, my brother, don't have to explain so much!" Chai Rong also smiled and said he would help everyone. "Besides, Liu Hao is just the son of a son, how can his importance be compared with his uncle? Even if he is caught, it is probably only Liu Chong himself who feels distressed. The people of Liao will not care about his life or death."
"This..." In an instant, everyone seemed to have been poured with cold water on their heads, and the excitement on their faces disappeared.
When changing generals, the emphasis is on the equality of values between the two sides. Even the fake Han King Liu Chong himself was probably an old dog in the eyes of the kings and ministers of the Liao Kingdom. Liu Chong's son was of course worthless. Shi Chonggui's value was very different.
First of all, this person once served as the emperor of the Central Plains, and may have a appeal in the hearts of the old and young people. Secondly, when this person was in power, he dared to go to war with the Liao Dynasty. Although he was defeated, he deserves respect. Third, as the saying goes, he regards Zi Jing's father in the next twenty years. The king and minister of the Liao Kingdom are now dealing with Zheng Ziming, and Zheng Ziming is definitely the most outstanding among the young generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Brother Chai makes sense, but I think the Tao girl's idea may not be a try!" Just when everyone was frustrated, Fu Ying's words sounded softly, like a candlelight in the middle of the night, making everyone's eyes lit up.
"Well" Chai Rong was stunned for a moment, and smiled and turned his eyes to Fu Ying. The more he contacted this beautiful and intelligent woman, the more he admired her, "Then you might as well say that there are no outsiders here anyway. Even if you say it wrong, everyone will not care about it!"
"Liu Hao must not even be as good as an uncle's toe!" Fu Ying smiled and nodded slightly at Zheng Ziming. Then, he raised his voice a little bit and continued to smile and added, "But when we catch Liu Hao, we can tell the Khitan monarch and minister that not only do the kidnapping threats, but once someone starts this, don't blame everyone for following them."
"Hiss--" Everyone didn't know how to breathe in a quiet air conditioner when they heard this.
The despicable act of tying people and threatening the other party to submit to the despicable act, usually only heroes in the martial arts world like to do it. There is almost no precedent for the two countries to fight. Once someone adopts it, first of all, this move undoubtedly means that they have lost the confidence to defeat their opponents from the battlefield. Secondly, the other party can also use the same means to fight back.
From the emperor to the civil and military officials, who has no parents, wife and children, and their relatives? Who may protect all their families at all times? Today you arrested my father, and tomorrow I will tie your son up. When will this cycle be over and over again?
"In addition, although Liu Hao is worthless, the Khitans are still reluctant to give up Liu Chong, the hunting dog!" Fu Ying smiled gently at everyone, his eyes as bright as stars in the night sky. "This matter started because of them. If we capture Liu Hao and ask for a replacement, the Khitans chose to refuse, which will definitely make the pseudo-Han King Liu Chong feel disappointed. Other small countries that have contact with the Khitan, such as the Southern Tang and Western Shu, may also consider whether the Khitans can really rely on it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin immediately tugged their hands at the same time. "Good, this is very good!"
"My sister-in-law's words are polite, let's find a way to catch Liu Hao back immediately!"
"We will go to Yang Chonggui to fight tomorrow morning."
"The pseudo-Han Kingdom just suffered a great defeat and his morale was low. Even if Yang Chonggui had three heads and six arms, he was unable to turn the world back!"
"Chasing, chase down Taihang Mountain and grab Dingzhou, Yizhou and Zhenzhou!"
"I don't believe it..."
Everyone rubbed their fists and palmed their hands, and they were eager to try.
Fu Ying's analysis is very reasonable. The Khitans may not care about Liu Hao's life or death, but they must not care about the demonstration effect brought by this matter. If they refuse to exchange Shi Chonggui for Liu Hao, it means that other lackeys will face danger in the future and they will not save them. In this way, their appeal and influence will inevitably be greatly damaged. With Yelu Ruan's cunning, it should be clear which one is more important!
There was no better idea for the time being, so Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming could only plan according to the idea of changing generals. After clarifying the goal, everyone worked together and soon came up with a complete plan. Then they dispersed to select subordinates, rectify the team, and prepared to start implementing the plan the next day.
As Zheng Ziming's most trusted military advisor, Pan Mei did not say a word during the entire deliberation process. She waited to go out and returned to her own camp. Seeing that there were no outsiders everywhere, he secretly pulled Zheng Ziming and whispered: "That woman named Fu has such a good way. I'm afraid she has already obtained the true teachings of the old wolf Fu Yanqing!"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be worthy of Brother Chai!" Zheng Ziming nodded slightly, and the smile on his face looked very tired...
"I'm not praising her!" Pan Mei was suddenly angry, and pulled Zheng Ziming's sleeve, raising her voice a little bit, "I mean, she keeps her back every time when she speaks and does things. She asked Gao Huaide to go back to report the victory, on the one hand, to use the relationship between the Gao family and the emperor to avoid anyone intercepting Chai Rong's letter. On the other hand, it is also to support Gao Huaide so that you three brothers can act according to their own ideas!"
"I know, Wang Jun has just been promoted to Privy Councilor and is in the limelight. Except for Gao Huaide, others may not have the chance to see Your Majesty when they go back!" Zheng Ziming smiled again and nodded indifferently.
"He left Chai Rong here in fact to prove to the court that you have no chance to obey the orders and it is impossible to lead the army to surrender to the Khitan!" Pan Mei was so angry that she shivered again, gritted her teeth and continued to remind her.
"I know, I didn't plan to obey!" Zheng Ziming nodded, and his performance was still lukewarm.
"This is just one aspect, and on the other hand, she is probably also guarding against you for being impulsive and going to vote for the Khitans!" Pan Mei stomped her feet hard, wishing she could just raise Zheng Ziming's head, so that the latter's mind would be clear.
"It should be like this." Zheng Ziming smiled, as if he knew everything. "It would be the same if it were me. After all, once something happened here, the Great Zhou would open its doors. To the north of the Yellow River, including Yedu, which His Majesty started, would probably change hands. What's more, she is her, and Brother Chai is Brother Chai!"
"You, you are really open-minded!" Pan Mei didn't expect that Zheng Ziming had seen Fu Ying's little plan clearly, but let him go, and his face turned blue. She stomped her feet and said loudly: "You are not afraid. One day she really sold you as a fool? I bet with you that Liu Hao is not that easy to catch. Even if he catches him, the Khitans would rather let all the lackeys feel disappointed than agree to change the general!"
"If I were a Khitan, I wouldn't!" Zheng Ziming was as stupid as he was, without any refutation of Pan Mei's views.
"Then, then you still let them mess around?" Pan Mei couldn't stand Zheng Ziming's muddle, and stepped on his toes hard and asked loudly. "What are your plans? Can you tell me directly, so I won't worry about you!"
Now, Zheng Ziming finally reacted violently. He jumped back, looked around, and responded in a very low voice, "My plan is to take my place, and take Liu Hao with Brother Chai and others, bluffing. And I myself go to Liaodong to rescue my father!"
"Boom--" A faint thunder rolled across the sky, and midsummer time was coming, and a storm was brewing.
Pan Mei staggered as if she was struck by lightning. She took several steps in a row before she barely stood up again, "You, what did you say? You, you went to Liaodong in person? How did you go? How could you bring people back safely after thousands of miles back and forth!"
"Go up from the water!" Zheng Ziming's answer accompanied by thunder, which made Pan Mei's body shaking again.
"Crack!" A flash of lightning illuminated his white face. He looked at Zheng Ziming repeatedly, as if he saw this person on the first day, his eyes were full of strangeness, "You, you, you, you have already prepared for this day. You, you, you, you, you, you spent a lot of money to build a navy..."
