Chapter 50 Recruiting Surrenders and Rebellions (Part 2)
After Liu Wei heard this, he just snorted coldly: "How can I lead the troops, young master? It's not your turn to criticize me when my subordinates are defeated."
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more stalemate, Gao Pingshi had no choice but to change the subject: "Master Cao, the life and death of Bailixia depends on your thoughts at this moment. The longer you delay, the more dangerous Bailixia will be."
Cao Gan sneered: "Did I delay? You said you wanted to hear my story, didn't I tell you the whole story?"
"Okay, let's get back to business." Gao Pingshi shrugged: "I can find a way to cover up the matter of you letting Zhang Lian go, but how did you run from Jiang Manqing to Beidi and become a thief?
Coming?"
Cao Gan glanced at Gao Pangshi suspiciously, and asked in disbelief: "Can you cover up for me about letting Zhang Lian go?" Not to mention Cao Gan, even Liu Wei looked suspicious, thinking to himself.
: Mr. Gao must have just said this casually, right? Or maybe he just used the words to stabilize Cao, and had no intention of actually doing it? Yes, that must be the case.
Gao pragmatically looked indifferent and said: "Some things may be serious and troublesome to you, but they are very easy and simple to me. For example, the matter of Cao Cao letting Zhang Lian go
According to your thoughts, you probably think that the matter involves treason and the sin of the clan, right?"
Liu Wei and Cao Gan reached an agreement for the first time and asked in unison: "Isn't it true?" Then they looked at each other and turned away with disgust.
"So you are only suitable for fighting the enemy in battle." Gao Pragmatic said unceremoniously: "And I dare to say that as long as Cao Dajie himself never mentions this matter in the future, the whole court will not know about it.
, even if they heard about it, no one would be willing to pursue it."
Gao Pingshi's words were so categorical that Cao Gan couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this, while Liu Wei couldn't help but ask: "Why is Mr. Gao so sure? This is... this is..."
Even if he didn't say he was highly pragmatic, he still knew that it was nothing more than the same sentence: "It involves conspiracy, and the crime is against the family line."
Gao pragmatic sighed and asked Liu Wei: "Brother Zishou, let me ask you, do you think your father is willing to let this matter become known to the whole world?"
"Father?" Liu Wei asked in surprise: "Does this matter have anything to do with my father?"
"Of course there is a relationship, and the relationship is not small." Gao Pingshi explained: "Earlier, your Majesty and Yu Gong teamed up to defeat Zhang Lian. How did your Majesty report to the court? He said that I led his troops to defeat Zhang Lian's personal guards and kill Wu Wu.
After all, Zhang Lian may have died in the rebellion. Brother Zishou, this way of reporting your victory is common in our dynasty. It is naturally insignificant in ordinary eyes, but this is based on Zhang Lian's true character.
Under the premise that Zhang Lian is dead or cannot be found, once there is conclusive evidence that Zhang Lian successfully absconded, this memorial will be deliberately deceiving you... Do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Wei's face changed with shock: "My father only said that Zhang Lian might have died in the rebellion, but he didn't say that he was definitely dead. Why did he deliberately deceive the emperor?"
Gao Pragmatic originally intended to scare him. Hearing this, he shrugged: "Perhaps your father just wanted to add some glory to his military exploits and look more beautiful. Normally, it's fine. But you have to know that once Zhang Lian's absconding is exposed,
, none of the relevant people can escape the responsibility. What will everyone do at this time? They will only think about pushing the responsibility to other people, and as one of the main generals, your father-in-law himself said something in the memorial, Zhang Lian, maybe
If he has died in the rebel army, then other people will find an opportunity to shirk responsibility and say, 'I originally wanted to investigate in detail, but General Liu said he was dead, so I have nothing to do with it.' - You see, your father is just
Being sold like this."
Liu Wei's eyes were a little dull and he murmured: "How could this happen... No, those civil servants would definitely say that! What should I do? What should I do?"
Gao Jingshi added another word and continued: "Moreover, your father-in-law will not be the only one who will be unlucky. For example, Mr. Yu will be in even greater trouble because he reported that Zhang Lian has been punished by him.
Think about it, if suddenly someone proves that Zhang Lian ran away, what will happen to Mr. Yu?"
Liu Wei said blankly: "Then I'm afraid that I will be found guilty of deceiving the emperor."
Gao pragmatic nodded and affirmed: "So Mr. Yu must be very angry at the person who leaked this matter... The other officials involved, both civil and military, including the elders, ministers and other officials who were in charge of the government at the time, said
He will always have the same attitude when he gets up."
Liu Qing shivered and thought to himself: That would be a big trouble. Not only would most of the military bosses in the southern provinces be offended, but they would also offend countless civil servants. As for the elders and ministerial-level bosses,
Member, Liu Xianmo said that he offended a group of people, even if he only offended one person, he couldn't afford to offend him! Look, last time he only offended a mere magistrate of Tongzhou Prefecture, but he almost lost his official position. What if he offended Mr. Ge? Then
I'm afraid I'll lose my life!
Liu Wei was so majestic on the battlefield, but his level of political struggle was completely unsatisfactory. He was frightened by Gao Pangshi, so he tremblingly asked for advice: "Master Gao, what should I do about this matter...?"
Gao Pragmatic waved his little hand and said, "It's okay, I will help you arrange it. Brother Zishou, there is no need to worry."
Then he turned to Cao Gan and said, "Master Cao, do you have any questions?"
Cao Gan also recovered from the shock, and his eyes changed when he looked at Gao Pragmatic: "No, no, Mr. Gao... The origin of family education, Cao has nothing to say, I am really convinced."
He paused and said: "Actually, after Cao was framed by Jiang Manqing, because he was a reduced general, he thought that no one would speak for me, so he didn't think much about it and escaped overnight with my younger brother.
Oh, by the way, we were not in the south at that time, because the Japanese pirates were invading Huaibei, so all Jiang Manqing's troops were transferred to the governor of Fengyang, and I was in Xiapi at the time..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only after listening to his account did Gao pragmatically find out that at that time he was following Jiang Manqing in Xiapi to exterminate the Japanese pirates. Because there were many large armies outflanking them from south to north and inserting themselves from the sea.
The Japanese pirates in the direction of Xuzhou, so escaping south was like throwing themselves into a trap, so they had no choice but to flee north. Later, the two brothers Cao Gan fled along the canal to Bazhou, and accidentally married a wife. Unexpectedly, his wife's background
It's not an ordinary family - Cao Gan's father-in-law was actually one of the famous bandit leaders in Bazhou. It was because he liked Cao Gan's ability that he married his daughter. Later, his father-in-law had a fight with another bandit.
At that time, he was assassinated, and Cao Gan became the head of their band of thieves as his son-in-law.
However, Cao Gan was an outsider after all, and he thought he could not survive in Bazhou, or even if he could survive, there would be no future, so he took his wife and team to "open up a base" - he quickly defeated and annexed the people who were originally entrenched in Baili.
A group of about two hundred thieves in Bailixia became the new boss of Bailixia.
Since Cao Gan knew very well that if the bandits wanted to survive, they could not oppress the local people too much, so he managed the Bailixia horse thieves quite strictly. Because of this, although the Bailixia horse bandits had been active for several years, the government originally
They were all thinking about eradicating them, but as a result, the area around Bailixia has become much more peaceful in recent years, so the eradication of thieves was gradually delayed. Cao Gan actually led a large group of thieves to roam free for several years, until
Something happened this time.
After listening to Cao Gan's words, Gao Pingshi gradually felt confident that this person could still be used. The only trouble was the feud between him and Liu Wei for killing his younger brother.
