"As a member of my family, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
Zhang Silang narrowed his eyes and was secretly proud. Although he knew that Liu Er's words about his own family were always casual and inaccurate, but now in Mayi City, Liu Wuzhou could call him one of his family members.
How many are there?
"Prefect Wang is pressing forward every step of the way. The county lieutenant is so heroic and holds the military power in Mayi. Why is he tied up and unable to cope with it?"
This is indeed on point. Huang Ziying also looked at Liu Wuzhou and echoed: "Yes, brother, half of the body of that man named Wang is almost buried in the ground, and he always comes to embarrass us. I think it's better to change it."
My brother will be the governor."
"You guys..."
Liu Wuzhou shook his head and laughed with a sense of superiority, "You only know that Wang Yuanshi is old, but you don't know his life story... Wang Yuanshi is from Tianshui, Kansai. Although the Tianshui Wang family is not a big family, they have been officials for generations."
"You can't even imagine who Wang Yuanshi has good friends with in the east capital and west capital. Several generals are his juniors. If Yang Xuangan had not died, he would have called him uncle, and this person is still in the court.
Zhongxiang has a clear name. You have never been to Dongdu, so you don’t know how prosperous it is there..."
"Why do you think that such a person came to the Mayi frontier fortress to serve as an official? You should have heard of the Tang Guogong Li Yuan who stayed in Taiyuan. He was the emperor's in-law and the head of the Li family of Guanxi... Someone told me that Tang Guogong Li Yuan
As long as he remains in Taiyuan, Wang Yuanshi will be the governor of Mayi for a day."
"Defend the Turks in the north and control Taiyuan in the south... Do you think we can move against people like this?"
A few country bumpkins did find it somewhat refreshing to hear this, as they did not have such a wide field of vision.
Huang Ziying nodded her huge head, "Let's just say, I was stared at by that man surnamed Wang a few times that day, and I felt uncomfortable all over. It turns out that this old man is so difficult to get along with."
Although Zhang Silang was speechless, he was secretly frightened, thinking that the previous Lord Li had kept Mayi City quiet for many years, but this time he had a new one, but he turned out to be even more powerful.
Li Jing hung up the seal and left. He thought he was scared away by the Turks before, but now it seems that he may also be afraid of the prefect Wang.
His eyes kept rolling. Generally speaking, the more conceited and smart a person is, the less likely they are to see others being proud.
Just like now, Liu Wuzhou's smug look made Zhang Silang very uncomfortable to look at. He thought to himself, he was almost being suppressed by others, so why should he be so proud?
Of course, this is also a good time for Zhang Si to show off his skills.
He touched his palms and smiled, "Defend the Turks in the north and control Taiyuan in the south. This is a good saying...Why don't the county officials start from here...Now that the world is in chaos, what's the use of having a good family background? Yang Xuangan is a descendant of Yang Gong, and everyone is noble.
, there are not many in the world who can compare with it, right? But what about now? Yang Xuangan has been teaching for a long time. He has been reviled by thousands of people, so what can a small Tianshui Wang family do?"
"You know, this is Mayi, not Tianshui."
After hearing what he said, Liu Wuzhou frowned at first. He was indeed shocked by Zhang Silang, but as he listened, he became interested.
This man never knew what satisfaction was. When he was a small official in Mayi, he actually didn't have much ambition. He made friends with people from all walks of life in the city and lived a very satisfied life.
But now that I have gained more knowledge and my official position has risen to a level that I never dared to imagine before, my ambition and ambition have also grown with it.
At this time, he asked, "Oh? Shiro's words are always insightful, but isn't this tone a bit loud?"
Zhang Silang stroked his beard and shook his head.
"In my opinion, why don't the commander-in-chief send someone to Jinyang? If what I predict is true, Mr. Tang will be willing to give the commander-in-chief some convenience, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Wuzhou was a little disappointed. This idea was not good. "Tang Guogong has a tall and powerful family, but not just anyone can get in. Tang Guogong... Even if I go to Jinyang in person, I may not be able to get in."
You have to be summoned, let alone someone sent there."
"If someone introduces me..." Zhang Silang was still working hard.
Liu Wuzhou simply shook his head, "Prince of Jinyang? The threshold of his family is lower than that of the Duke of Tang Dynasty? Going back and forth is a waste of time, and people may not be able to look down on us rolling on the ground."
Woolen cloth."
Zhang Silang was blocked twice in a row, and he was very annoyed. This guy is as timid as a mouse, what great things can he accomplish, it is really untrustworthy.
Therefore, he was a little afraid to say the following words.
Liu Wuzhou looked at his hesitation, but it was a bit funny. He had almost guessed what this person wanted to say next, but he still asked with a smile: "We brothers don't need to hesitate when talking, there is no need to hold back, just say it."
It doesn't matter, even if there is something wrong, can it still harm our friendship?"
Zhang Silang took courage and lowered his voice involuntarily, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"We are a frontier fortress, and the Turks are in the north. I heard that the Turks Khan is now stationed in Dali City, only a few hundred miles away from Mayi... The Turks are powerful, and Shibi Khan is even more talented and strategic... Since
Those rich people treat us like chickens and dogs, why not..."
"If we get the help of the Turks, it will be easy to get a small town in Mayi."
There are two things in these words that make Zhang Silang feel a little frightened when he says them. One is that he was a foreign liaison with the Turks. Once the accusation is spread, it will not be as simple as beheading. Even if Liu Wuzhou takes him down on the spot, there is nothing to say.
Secondly, it has the meaning of claiming the king's territory. In short, no matter which one of them, as long as these words are spoken, his life will not be stable.
Liu Wuzhou's reaction really made him a little frightened. He stared at him as if a knife was about to fly out.
In an instant, Zhang Silang broke out in a cold sweat.
Just when he was thinking about whether he should kowtow and beg for mercy, Liu Wuzhou slammed the table and burst into laughter.
"What Shiro said touches my heart deeply. Now that the world is in chaos, it's time for good men like us to use force. People in the south look down on us. If we want to achieve something big, don't we have to find another way? But..."
The laughter stopped, but Liu Wuzhou shook his head and sighed, saying: "It's a pity that the military power of Mayi is not in my hands alone. Otherwise, hehe..."
Zhang Silang finally let go of his heart. In fact, he had read too much and was still a little timid. Who cares if a hero in Mayi is a Turk or not.
Their loyalty to the Sui Dynasty was no stronger than that of the people of Shandong, Hebei. Even in Mayi, those who had not had any contact with the Turks for many years could not be considered "heroes."
As for claiming the king based on the territory, the world is in such chaos, and there are several people who have proclaimed themselves emperors, so what does it mean to claim the king based on the territory?
What people like Liu Wuzhou are afraid of are the difficulties ahead. Without the suppression of Mayi County Prime Minister Li Jing, now he is staring at the position of the prefect, and his eyes are almost red.
It can be seen that Li Jing, who has been the official of Mayi County for many years, is the person he is most afraid of. As for Wang Rengong, he has just arrived and has no military power, so Liu Wuzhou really doesn't pay much attention to him.
So, what I said before is just a foreshadowing. His mentality is actually that he wants to reach out, but is afraid of the power of the powerful family, feels that he is unable to do so, and is still in a stage of uncertainty.
Zhang Silang's head was spinning rapidly, he breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and then asked, "Is the county lieutenant talking about Li Ding'an in Yunnei?"
Liu Wuzhou nodded, "If it's not this person, who is it? This person is far away in Yunnei and holds the military power of Heng'an Town. This person bullied me too much back then. I thought that when I came back to Mayi this time, I would be the first to get rid of him."
, I don’t think so, but this guy is no longer what he used to be.”
"We are waiting for the Turks in the north, and this person is watching over us, which is really unsettling."
In fact, at this time, their discussions here have entered the next stage, and there are signs of rebellion.
In fact, it's quite helpless. These days, with so many powerful families, it's very difficult for others to get ahead. And when the world is in chaos, rebellion becomes the most convenient way.
A disciple of a powerful family like Li Yuan also has surging ambitions, but if he rebels, he will never be like Liu Wuzhou and others, who hit here and there with a hammer and grab whatever they can get. They will definitely think
You must first have a name for justice, and then you can stand up.
In comparison, the nature is the same, but the work done by Liu Wuzhou and others is very rough.
Huang Ziying interrupted again at this moment, "I've heard of this man. He was just a groom in Mayi County. He only got power after marrying a good wife. How can such a man compare with his brother?"
Bi, if my brother is interested, I will lead the troops there and capture him and hand him over to him. The mother-in-law of the Li family will be my little brother."
Suddenly, several people were happy.
Although these words are rude, they are consistent with Liu Wuzhou's intentions. It can be seen that Huang Ziying is not as rude as outside.
Liu Wuzhou smiled and waved his hand, "It's not that simple. Although Li Ding'an is extremely hateful, he still has some skills. When he took people to Liaodong... Well, after so many years, it's useless to talk about that. Just talk about the Turks last year.
Going south, this man led his troops and accomplished many feats..."
"This person is not that easy to deal with. Besides, he is far away in the clouds, so there is really nothing he can do."
Zhang Silang spoke again, "Now that this man's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, I'm a little curious, where does the food and grass for the Heng'an Town Army come from? Is there really so much captured that the Heng'an Town Army can eat until now?
"
"How many people in Yunnei have experienced last year's war again. There are more and more hungry people near Mayi City. Why is there no news about food shortages there?"
"Could it be..."
Liu Wuzhou snorted and said disdainfully: "Without the help of the Turks, no one would believe it."
