Chapter 511 Supporting two families in one hand (2)
Chapter 511
"Don't worry, don't worry." Cheng Dalei simply agreed: "Why did I come here today if it wasn't to help you, Mr. Hou? What relationship do we have? How can we team up with outsiders to deal with one of our own people?"
Baili Sheng looked at Cheng Dalei carefully and said, "Ah, my dear brother is really a righteous man."
"Who says it's not the case? I'm not always so generous." Cheng Dalei said.
"Don't worry, dear brother, as long as you capture the city of Liangzhou, I will dare to fight for the title of King of Liangzhou for you in front of the Holy Master."
"Well... Your Majesty is willing to send troops." Cheng Dalei said firmly: "As long as His Majesty's troops arrive and cooperate inside and outside, Liangzhou will be captured."
"Well... uh, haha, dear brother, you should know that now is not the time to fall out with the Prime Minister. The support the Holy One can give you can only be moral support."
"Alas..." Cheng Dalei sighed: "It is my duty to share the worries of the Holy Lord and solve the problems of the Marquis. However, Toad City is short of money and food, and the soldiers are sick and weak. I am afraid that the attack on Liangzhou will have to be considered in the long run."
Bai Lisheng shut his mouth, probably understanding the current situation. Cheng Dalei's temper was such that he would not be able to do anything early, so it was almost impossible for him to use his useless skills to fight Liangzhou.
This is something I should have thought of in advance when I left Chang'an.
At this moment, Bailisheng has another worry. Cheng Dalei refuses to cooperate with him, whether he will reach an alliance with Liangzhou. Although he talks beautifully, Bailisheng also knows that his words cannot be believed.
Baili Sheng was suddenly startled. He had better leave Toad City quickly. He didn't want Cheng Dalei to take his head as a certificate of surrender for Liangzhou.
"Haha, my dear brother, I can rest assured." Baili Sheng said: "There are still some things in our army. Although I want to keep things clear with my dear brother, I am really busy with official duties. If we are destined, we will meet again in the future."
Cheng Dalei nodded: "The Marquis is leaving, and I can't force him to stay. However, Liangzhou knows that the Marquis has arrived, and is afraid that they will guard outside the city and will not let the Marquis leave easily."
"This..." Baili Sheng was startled. He really didn't know what to do. He clasped his fists with both hands and gave a deep salute to Da Lei: "Dear brother, you must help me as a brother."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. In my opinion, you can stay here for a few days. In a few days, I will definitely give you a result."
Baili Sheng thought hard and found that he was trapped in Toad City. Cheng Dalei's words frightened him even more. He wanted to give himself a result...could he be killed?
Cheng Dalei stood up and left, but Baili Sheng couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in the room, not knowing what to do.
The night passed peacefully, but Baili Sheng stayed up all night. In the morning of the next day, Xu Shenji came to invite Baili Sheng.
"Ah, what happened to Mr. Baili Sheng? Could it be that he was wronged by poor hospitality?" Xu Shenji stared at Baili Sheng with dark circles under his eyes.
Baili Sheng waved his hands awkwardly and said, "I wonder if Military Master Xu is here. What do you want me to do?"
"Our master has invited us to discuss important matters with Lord Baili."
Baili Sheng was confused. He didn't know what Cheng Dalei's purpose was. If he wanted to kill himself, it didn't seem like he would have to go to such trouble.
With butterflies in my heart, I followed Xu Shenji all the way to the City Lord's Mansion. Before I even reached the hall, I heard Cheng Dalei's loud voice.
"Master Marquis is here, please invite me soon."
Bailisheng walked into the hall, and when he saw clearly what was going on inside, he was suddenly stunned.
In addition to Cheng Dalei and a few people from Toad City, Liangzhou Zhong Weihu was also sitting in the hall.
Zhong Weihu was also stunned. Just now he was having a heated conversation with Cheng Dalei about how to deal with Baili Sheng. But in the blink of an eye, Baili Sheng appeared.
The two looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were frozen, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Cheng Dalei laughed loudly and said: "I'm afraid you two don't know each other. Let me introduce you to you. This is Lord Baili, and this is Lord Zhong from Liangzhou City."
"Oh, it turns out that the Marquis is here. Please forgive me for being rude."
"Ah, no gift, no gift, Mr. Zhong's name is also familiar to me."
The two sides were hypocritically polite. Although the general's office and the prime minister's office were having a huge quarrel in the temple. They both wanted to control Liangzhou and block the south of the Yangtze River. However, on the surface, the two sides had not fallen out with each other. Although they wanted to kill each other in their hearts, they
On the surface, you have to greet them with a smile.
The most comfortable person on the field was Cheng Dalei. He chuckled and said: "The Marquis of Baili will soon command the troops in Liangzhou and become the commander of these three passes. In the future, our three families will have to live in harmony and make a fortune together."
"Live in peace, live in peace."
Zhong Weihu and Baili Sheng agreed, feeling really uncomfortable.
Baili Sheng rolled his eyes, and after hearing the meaning of Cheng Dalei's words, he was still helping himself. He took over the position of the commander of the three passes. The official position was not small, but the pressure was also huge. The purpose was to limit the influence of the Prime Minister's Office in Liangzhou.
expansion.
But if you want to lead troops into Liangzhou, you need Song Bokang's consent, so the general's office wants to cooperate with Cheng Dalei to swallow Song Bokang.
"When the Marquis takes office, we and the King of Liangzhou will treat him well and clear the passes on the road to prevent bandits on the road from causing trouble to the Marquis."
Baili Sheng's eyes lit up, he clasped his fists and said, "With these words from my virtuous brother, I feel relieved."
"Tsk..."
Zhong Weihu sighed, thinking that Cheng Dalei wanted to join forces with Baili Sheng. If Baili Sheng led the troops in, wouldn't he be setting a fire in his own back garden?
"Master Cheng, Master Cheng..." Zhong Weihu stood up: "Can you take a step to speak."
"This...ah, haha, then Lord Marquis, just wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Cheng Dalei followed Zhong Weihu to a remote place. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. Zhong Weihu said: "Master Cheng, you are confused. Liangzhou is our territory, how can we let Baili Sheng in?"
"Oh, Mr. Zhong, you are confused. I am doing this entirely for your sake."
"Think about me?" Zhong Weihu was stunned.
"It seems that you don't understand. If we guard the pass and don't allow their people to come in, wouldn't it mean that we are at odds with the imperial court? Is the King of Liangzhou going to rebel?"
"Uh... of course that's impossible."
"So, we can't do everything right." Cheng Dalei said: "If we let them in, their people will have to eat and drink. The way for food and grass to come in is controlled by us. We want to give them food, but we don't want to give it to them."
They eat it just to see how we feel."
Zhong Weihu's eyes lit up and he looked at Cheng Dalei in disbelief: "Master Cheng, you are so tall!"
Cheng Dalei patted Zhong Weihu on the shoulder and said, "Now Mr. Zhong understands who is really good to you."
