Xu Shenji and others curled their lips when they heard this, thinking that you were having a lively chat with Baili Sheng just now, so they turned around and said that they had never seen him before.
Cheng Dalei glared at them, turned to Zhong Weihu, and showed a gentle smile.
"I wonder what this Bailixheng has to do with me. Why should I ask Mr. Zhong for advice?"
"Master Cheng doesn't know something. This Baili Sheng was sent by the General's Mansion to command Hukou, Luwei and Xianyang Pass. Master Cheng, think about it, Liangzhou is our territory. Isn't he just driving nails into our eyelids?"
Underneath?" Zhong Weihu said angrily.
Cheng Dalei was silent and thought to himself, this is driving nails for you, but it may not be driving nails for me.
It's not like Cheng Dalei didn't get any information about this matter.
Song Bokang was named the King of Liangzhou, and Liangzhou became his personal fiefdom. Theoretically, in the Liangzhou fiefdom, he had the power to command troops, legislation, and taxation. Of course, this was only theoretical. Whether it was Li Letian or a general,
It is impossible for any government to watch Song Bokang grow big in Liangzhou.
Liangzhou borders the Rong people, and the empire has heavy military guards in dangerous areas. Of course, Qinchuan Pass was originally one of the four passes in Liangzhou. Li Letian sent Baili Sheng to command the three passes in Liangzhou, obviously hoping to defeat Song Bokang.
Drain nails in the back garden for later use.
And because of this matter, the Prime Minister's Office and the General's Office were already quarreling in the court.
Cheng Dalei turned his head in a circle and slapped his hand heavily on the table: "Ah, ah, you are really bullying me."
"Who says it's not the case?" Zhong Weihu quickly agreed: "Can we watch them do this? Absolutely not."
Cheng Dalei chuckled and said, "I wonder what the King of Liangzhou has planned?"
Zhong Weihu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said: "My king respects Master Cheng very much and wishes he could become brothers with Master Cheng. Now if outsiders want to come over, we will never allow them. If Master Cheng agrees, we are willing to join hands with Master Cheng."
, drive out the outsiders, and after that is accomplished, my king is willing to rule Liangzhou with Master Cheng."
Cheng Dalei narrowed his eyes. Although Zhong Weihu had gone in a big circle, his purpose was actually similar to Baili Sheng's. It was just that the two sides joined forces to achieve the other side's goal.
He thought silently for a moment and said, "What a coincidence, the King of Liangzhou happened to think of me together."
Zhong Weihu's eyes lit up: "Master Cheng has agreed."
"Let me think about it again."
"Well……"
"Master Zhong, please go back first. Let me discuss it with my brothers. Once the results of the discussion are reached, I will inform Master Zhong as soon as possible."
Zhong Weihu did not expect that the first meeting would yield results. He stood up and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Cheng Dalei instructions.
"Master Cheng, this matter must be kept secret."
"sure."
When Zhong Weihu left, several people from Toad City immediately gathered together to discuss.
"Brothers, what do you think about this matter?"
From the beginning, everyone was thinking about it. When Cheng Dalei asked, He Shen spoke first and said: "In my opinion, we should cooperate with Bailisheng. After all, Bailisheng represents the General's Mansion, and behind the General's Mansion is the current emperor.
We are morally obedient by cooperating with them. If we really occupy Liangzhou, it will be much easier for us."
"That makes sense." Cheng Dalei nodded lightly.
"In my opinion, this matter needs to be carefully considered. If we cooperate with Bailisheng, I'm afraid he won't be able to help us much. In the end, our soldiers will go into battle. On the contrary, if we cooperate with Liangzhou,
We need a lot of help to provide food and fodder for our troops and horses, after all, we are close to Liangzhou." Liu Bei said.
"It makes sense." Cheng Dalei also had no objection.
Cheng Dalei did not give a definite opinion, and several people in the village started to quarrel. Some wanted to cooperate with the imperial court, which was equivalent to accepting recruitment in disguise. Some wanted to cooperate with Liangzhou and get some immediate benefits.
In the end, there was a lot of quarreling, but no result came from the quarrel. He Shen looked at Cheng Dalei: "Master, have you already made a plan? In this case, we don't need to waste our words."
Cheng Dalei coughed lightly and said: "It is not appropriate to cooperate with Baili Sheng. It is easy to be used as a gunman. The imperial court has promised us that we can be promoted to nobility. When the time comes, we can completely ignore it."
Cheng Dalei also really wanted to go to Liangzhou. When the time comes, he can compete in the world, and when he retreats, he can live in peace and self-protection. But the problem is that Cheng Dalei's reputation is already bad in the world. If he really takes Liangzhou, there will be no chance of success.
How much trouble.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he said: "Then we need to cooperate with Liangzhou. If we can help each other, it may not be an option."
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "Song Bokang is just a withered bone in the tomb, and can't achieve anything big."
"What do you mean by being the master?" Liu Bei asked strangely.
Cheng Dalei pondered for a moment and said: "The best way is to maintain the current situation and stand on three pillars, so that we can profit from it. If this balance is broken and the three pillars stand on each other, it will become two heroes competing for hegemony, which will cause a lot of trouble.
.”
In fact, people like Liu Bei and He Shen may not really agree with Cheng Dalei's words. However, Cheng Dalei still has the final say in Toad City. Since Cheng Dalei has made such a decision, everyone can only act according to his ideas.
Baili Sheng is still staying in Toad City, living every day like a year. Of course, the empire will not promote a bandit as the king of the princes, unless Cheng Dalei is strong enough. But now, Cheng Dalei is not strong enough.
The General Mansion's intention towards Cheng Dalei was mostly based on exploitation. However, Song Bokang of Liangzhou also had the same intention and wanted to use Cheng Dalei as a spearman.
However, Cheng Dalei never uttered his words. Bai Lisheng couldn't figure out what he planned. But as time passed by, things became more and more urgent. If Cheng Dalei didn't utter his words, he really didn't know what to do.
.
"Master Hou, Master Hou."
Cheng Dalei came in from outside the hospital. When he saw Cheng Dalei, he felt as if he was meeting a close relative. He hurriedly greeted him: "My dear brother is so busy with official duties, how can he still have time to come over? I really don't know what to do."
Cheng Dalei lowered his voice: "Can you take a step to speak."
Baili Sheng's eyes lit up, he led Cheng Dalei into the room, stood back and said, "Xian brother, why are you here?"
Cheng Dalei took a deep breath and said, "Is there someone coming from Liangzhou City?"
"Ah!" Baili Sheng was shocked: "They want to join forces with you to deal with me."
"Isn't it?"
"Aiya, dear brother, you have to make a good decision and never go the wrong way." Baili Sheng.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, don't worry, Mr. Hou. If I wanted to cooperate with them, wouldn't I come today?" Cheng Dalei said: "They don't know the feelings between our brothers."
"That's, that's..." Baili Sheng paced in the room and said, "Xian brother, you must help me as a brother."
