Jinan City is still crowded with people, and it seems that it has not been affected by the war. However, the signs of the White Lotus Sect that can be seen everywhere in the past have disappeared. Those believers who gathered people to preach scriptures and preached the Dharma were also arrested and imprisoned.
He was either killed or imprisoned, but there was no trace of him.
This is all due to Wei Yuan, the Inspector General. Since taking office, he has worked tirelessly and day and night to attack the White Lotus Sect in the territory. At least in the provincial capital, the influence of the White Lotus Sect has been basically eliminated. In other places controlled by the government and army, the arrogance of the White Lotus Sect
It has also been greatly weakened, at least it no longer dares to blatantly run rampant in the countryside, and development has encountered great resistance.
The price paid is that in just a few months, Wei Yuan's hair has turned a lot grayer, and the nasolabial folds on his cheeks have deepened a lot. At this moment, he is sitting in the sedan with a solemn expression, as if he is making a major decision.
The sedan arrived at Anyuanhou's carriage house and was carried directly into the courtyard. After getting off the sedan, the chief attendant opened the sedan curtain. Wei Yuan saw that Liu Sheng was wearing a green silk jacket, black leggings, and a pair of cowhide warm boots.
He looked like a wealthy Shandong landowner and was sitting on the railing of the corridor in a daze.
Wei Yuan walked up to Anyuan Hou and called softly: "Master Hou."
Liu Sheng was stunned for a while, then he looked up blankly and saw that it was Wei Yuan. He quickly greeted him and said, "You're here? Sit down quickly."
Wei Yuan looked at the railing under Liu Sheng's butt, smiled helplessly and said, "I'd better stand, sir."
"As you wish." Liu Sheng had a sad look on his face and was not in the mood to be polite to Wei Yuan. His eyes were bloodshot and he hissed: "The emperor's decree has arrived."
"Oh, what's the holy intention?" Wei Yuan asked softly.
"I have ten days to send out troops, or else I will abdicate and make way for someone more worthy..." Liu Sheng said in a muffled voice.
"Abduce the throne in favor of a worthy person?" Wei Yuan frowned and said, "Who does Your Majesty want to replace?"
"Who else could it be, the King of Han!" Liu Sheng said with a bitter smile: "The emperor was completely angered by Tang Tiande and has already ignored him!"
"Yes, Tang Tiande didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he actually openly founded a country and proclaimed himself king. This is something that no emperor can tolerate, let alone the current Emperor Yongle."
"Yes." Liu Sheng nodded, convinced, and after speaking he sighed and said: "If the tiger like the King of Han is released, I will become a member of the Ming Dynasty..." Liu Sheng has been in Shandong these days, and he has no respect for the King of Han.
With a new understanding of ambition, he knew that once the King of Han was allowed to take command to suppress the rebellion, I am afraid that the whole of Shandong would forever belong to the Han vassal!
"Then, Lord Marquis will send troops within ten days..." Wei Yuan said softly.
"Hey!" Liu Sheng sighed heavily: "If we can send troops, do I still have to worry?"
"Didn't you say that the newly recruited army has been basically trained?" Wei Yuan asked slightly puzzled.
"The army is barely usable, but firstly, the strength is still insufficient, and secondly, the current situation in Shandong..." Liu Sheng thought about it, casually broke off a branch, drew the word 'pin' on the ground and said: "It's inappropriate to call it
The metaphor has become a three-legged confrontation. We and the White Lotus Sect’s army are two sides, and the King of Han is watching covetously from the side, hoping to reap the benefits!”
Wei Yuan nodded solemnly, completely agreeing with Liu Sheng's words.
"So, once we start a war with the White Lotus Sect, unless we fight quickly before the King of Han can react, we will definitely be restricted or even attacked by him!" Liu Sheng frowned and said helplessly: "The King of Han will definitely not
Let us eliminate the White Lotus Sect, no one can change this!"
"Then... is there any possibility of a quick victory?" Wei Yuan asked softly.
"No..." Liu Sheng shook his head and sighed: "At present, the White Lotus Sect's army has reached 100,000 people. From Qingzhou to the west, Deng, Lai, and Jiaozhou are all their territory. The strategic depth is very impressive, and the people
There are so many believers in China, so it can be said that they occupy the right location and people, so how easy is it to eat them all in one bite?"
"What about capturing the thief and capturing the king?" Wei Yuan asked again, not wanting to give up.
"Killing Tang Tiande will not solve the problem." Liu Sheng still shook his head and said helplessly: "The situation of the White Lotus Sect is very complicated. There are many altars and hills. If you kill one Tang Tiande, a group of Zhang Tiande, Li Tiande, Wang Tiande, and Liu Tiande will appear.
Come……"
"I heard that after Tang Tiande became king, he was reorganizing the army and unifying his subordinates with the help of a counselor named Hei Jian. It should be much better after success, right?" Wei Yuan said softly.
"I never place my hopes on the enemy, and that Heijian is a figure. In just one or two months, he assisted Liu Jun in taking over Jiaodong, and now he has been reused by Tang Tiande. If he is really allowed to complete the army, I'm afraid
The strength of the Qingzhou Military Association has greatly increased. Not to mention defeating them, we may not be able to defend Jinan City." Liu Sheng pulled the branch in his hand hard on a 'kou' on the lower right side of the word "pin" and said depressedly: "
****, the White Lotus Sect is so damn evil, why did such a character appear?"
"Why do you think Master Hou means that not only can we not rush, but we can't delay?" Wei Yuan said in a low voice.
"Who says it's not the case! Damn it! How else could I be so worried?" Liu Sheng said with a sad face: "I wonder where that bastard Wang Xian hides and enjoys his leisure time? I am suffering for him!"
He spat hard, raised his head and stared at Wei Yuan and said: "You must know where he is, tell me quickly!"
After Anyuanhou finished speaking, he grabbed Liu Sheng's wrist. Wei Yuan grinned in pain and said repeatedly: "Let me go quickly, and tell me what you have to say!"
"I'll let you go if you tell me, but I won't let you go if you don't!" Liu Sheng gritted his teeth.
"I really don't know!" Wei Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat, and he hissed and gasped: "Wang Xian doesn't seem to trust anyone. He always has people give me messages, and he has never told me his current...
The true situation……"
"So, even you can't be sure whether he is really still alive?" Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows and his hands became a little heavier.
Wei Yuan felt that his arm was about to be broken, and his voice trembled: "I can confirm that he is alive and can still control the Jin Yiwei, but that's all..."
"What kind of tricks does this bastard do?!" Liu Sheng said in confusion: "If you have a grudge to seek revenge, if you have a grudge to complain, what does hiding mean?"
"Of course he has his reasons..." Wei Yuan said softly: "And who do you want him to seek revenge from? How to take revenge?"
"Well..." Liu Sheng no longer complained about Wang Xian. In the Hulugu massacre more than three months ago, everyone thought that Guo Yi underestimated the enemy and rushed in. Wang Xian was ambushed during the rescue. As a result, the entire army was annihilated. Wang Xian not only paid compensation
The lives of his brothers and his own family were at risk, and the legendary reputation he had accumulated in the past ten years was in vain... But Liu Sheng, a high-ranking official who was both a confidant of the emperor and a Shandong general, naturally knew that there was something fishy about the defeat of Hulu Valley.
If we really want to investigate, the King of Han, King Zhao and even the current Holy Emperor can be regarded as the culprits that caused the tragedy... And among these three, Wang Xian cannot avenge any one of them...
Liu Sheng once asked himself whether he could bear Wang Xian's pain and grievance if he were in a different place. The answer every time was - no! So even if Wang Xian remained anonymous at this moment and never left the mountain again, Liu Sheng would not
It feels very normal.
"Then, has he sent you a message recently?" Liu Sheng looked at Wei Yuan eagerly, as if he was treating a dead horse as a living horse.
"Yes. I'm just here to deliver a message to you." Wei Yuan's face turned pale and he could no longer hold on: "If you don't let go, I will be speechless..."
"Oh!" Liu Sheng quickly let go of his iron-like palms, rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Say it quickly, what did he say?"
"He said...hiss..." Wei Yuan looked at the four livid fingerprints on his wrist and said angrily: "Let me convince you that if you wait a month before sending out troops, you will definitely succeed!"
"Oh?" Liu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he wanted to grab Wei Yuan's arm again. Wei Yuan learned the lesson this time, and hurriedly threw his hand away, narrowly dodging Liu Sheng's claws. Liu Sheng missed the target and said with a smile.
: "Did he say what the reason was?"
"No." Wei Yuan shook his head and said softly: "I only said these few sentences without explaining a word..."
"His grandma is giving me an order!" Liu Sheng blew his beard angrily and glared: "I am a marquis and he is an earl. You want me to listen to him without explaining the reason. There is no way!"
"Anyway, I brought the words here," Wei Yuan shook his still sore arm: "It's up to the Marquis whether you listen or not."
"You are too irresponsible. Didn't Wang Xian ask you to convince me?" Liu Sheng glared at Wei Yuan.
"The Marquis's knowledge is far better than that of the official, and there is no need for the official to waste words," Wei Yuan said lightly: "Besides, the official cannot try his best to prevent the Hou from sending troops with just a few words from him. This will harm the country and the army."
Lift.”
"Haha," Liu Sheng finally stood up from the railing, patted his butt and said with a smile, "Xiao Wei, you will be a country elder in the future!"
"Master Hou, please think twice before you act." Wei Yuan said softly.
"The fire is burning to your butt, think twice!" Liu Sheng waved his hand and said: "I trust Wang Xian, just listen to him and wait for another month!" After saying that, he stretched his body and walked in: "He
Grandma, if you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow, I’m really lucky!”
"Master Marquis, what should the Emperor do?" Wei Yuan took two steps forward and stopped and asked.
"I will be out here, and I will not accept your orders!" Liu Sheng said, shaking his head.
"Then will the Emperor let the King of Han take his place?" Wei Yuan asked loudly behind Liu Sheng.
After hearing this, Liu Sheng turned back to look at Wei Yuan, winked slyly and said, "Do you think Wang Xian can only send you a message?"
"This..." Wei Yuan understood a little and said suddenly: "You mean he will try to help Mr. Hou withstand the pressure?"
"Hey! I'm a marquis, why should I have a count in front of me?" Liu Sheng laughed strangely and said: "I also have a group of brothers to speak for me. Besides, I am not mute myself. I can also write to the emperor and speak properly.
Tell the truth!" After saying that, he waved to Wei Yuan and said with a smile: "I finally got rid of my heart disease, let's go and have a drink!"
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving..." Wei Yuan naturally thanked him but hurriedly ran away. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
