Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1407 Zhu Wen Coup

Chapter 1405: Zhu Wen Coup

For the alliance between Liangshan and Beihai, the imperial court's reward came first, and there were huge benefits later, so the alliance naturally did not go smoothly.

In fact, everyone in Liangshan wants to form an alliance with Beihai. After all, the two of them are the weakest forces in Qingzhou, and they may be annexed by Yuan Shao and Huang Chao at any time. Only the alliance of the two weak can not be annexed.

However, Beihai under the control of Kong Rong is unwilling to form an alliance with Liangshan, either because of personal feelings or other reasons.

Kong Rong, the prefect, didn't nod his head, so naturally the two families couldn't form an alliance.

Before Huang Chao sent Zhu Tianpeng to crusade against Liangshan, Liangshan rushed to the battle while seeking alliance with Kong Rong, but Kong Rong only agreed to contain part of the Qi army. In the end, Liangshan's army lost more than [-] troops and lost four counties. one third.

This is not the first time Huang Chao has done this. Every time he goes out, he always gains something. Today he will take three counties from you, and tomorrow he will cut off five cities. If things go on like this, the Qi army will become stronger and stronger, while the other princes of Qingzhou will become weaker and weaker. In the end, there is only one end of being annexed.

It is precisely because Kong Rong understands this that he urgently wants to get out of the quagmire. Once he, the biggest obstacle affecting the alliance, leaves, the alliance between Liangshan and Beihai will naturally have no resistance.

After Fu Nian made an alliance between Beihai and Liangshan, he immediately returned to Beihai to report to Li Jing, and after listening to Fu Nian's report, Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The alliance between the two is [-]%, and if either Yuan Shao or Huang Chao attacks, Beihai is enough to protect itself.

"By the way, Master Fu Nian, what is Liang Shan's attitude towards the court?" Li Jing asked.

Fu Nian showed a strange look, and said: "Liangshan, everyone is in awe of the imperial court's attitude, especially Song Jiang, as soon as he heard that I was leaving with the imperial edict, he immediately brought everyone to kneel to welcome the imperial edict."

"This?"

Li Jing also showed surprise, and asked: "Since Song Jiang surrendered, the Han court at that time not only did not treat him kindly, but rather criticized him a lot.

No matter how many meritorious deeds he made up and down Liangshan, he never received the reward he deserved, so that Song Jiang didn't even have a title before the award went down this time.

The Han Dynasty treated Liangshan so lightly, did Song Jiang still have awe of the imperial court? "

"Uh, this, I don't know about this, but Song Jiang doesn't seem to be lying. Either he is a true loyal man, or he has deep awe of the imperial court."

"Is that so..."

After Li Jing pondered for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said meaningfully: "If this is the case, there may be a chance to incorporate Liangshan into the imperial court."

"The prefect means..."

Fu Nian hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Li Jing raising his hand.

"This matter still needs to be planned. It can get out of my mouth and into your ears. Don't let others know."

"promise."

After saying that, Fu Nian thought of another important thing, and immediately said: "By the way, my lord, this time I went to Liangshan and got an important piece of information from Song Jiang. The Qi army is already mobilizing troops and raising food and grass. , obviously the next target is either Liangshan or us.”

"Huang Chao has seized Song Jiang's four counties south of the Yellow River. If he continues to provoke Song Jiang, it will mean that Liangshan will not be left alive. Therefore, Huang Chao will definitely attack Liangshan in a short time."

"Since it's not Liangshan, we're the only ones left."

"That's right, the target of Huang Chao's dispatch of troops this time must be our Beihai, but the prefect has already done a good job."

A gleam of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said with great confidence: "This time Liangshan is blocking Yuan Shao in the north, this prefect will definitely tell him Huang Chao to lose an army and lose an inch of merit."

Qingzhou, Qi State, Linzi
"Qin Hao's meddling in Qingzhou this time must have malicious intentions. This king has made an appointment with Yuan Shao. The two families will send troops together to carve up the North Sea. Qin Hao will never be allowed to gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou."

Huang Chao looked down at the generals in the hall, and then ordered: "The order will be passed on. Zhu Tianpeng will be the main general, Zhu Wen will be the deputy general, and lead an army of [-] to crusade against Beihai. There will be no mistakes."

"promise."

All the ministers shouted in unison, but at the moment Zhu Wen looked down, endless shadows flashed in his eyes.

After returning to the mansion, Zhu Wen couldn't help it anymore, and shouted angrily: "I'm so angry..."

Before that, Huang Chao had been balancing between Zhu Wenwen and Zhu Tianpeng, so although the competition between the two parties was fierce, there was never a phenomenon that one was overwhelming the other.

But today is different, Huang Chao directly appointed Zhu Wen as the deputy general, and chose Zhu Tianpeng as the main general, which also showed that Huang Chao chose Zhu Tianpeng, not him, which naturally made Zhu Wen unable to bear it any longer.

Seeing his father furious, the three brothers Zhu Yougui, Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youwen looked at each other, Zhu Yougui, the eldest brother, stood up and persuaded: "Father, King Qi may only be thinking about military affairs, and maybe there is no other meaning."

Zhu Wen squinted at Zhu Yougui, and said indifferently: "You mean, in terms of leading the army and fighting, your father is not as good as your uncle Zhu Tianpeng?"

"Eh...that's not what my child meant." Zhu Yougui said with a look of panic.

"Go down and get thirty army sticks."

After saying that, Zhu Wen left without looking back, while Zhu Yougui, who had confessed his mistake on the ground, had a trace of resentment flashing deep in his eyes.

After returning to the study, Zhu Wen still had a gloomy expression on his face. At this time, a man in black walked out of the screen and said lightly: "General Zhu Wen, now trust me, between you and Zhu Tianpeng, Huang Chao has long chosen Without Zhu Tianpeng, it is impossible for you to succeed Huang Chao as King Qi. How are you thinking?"

Zhu Wen stared at the other party with bull eyes, and said coldly: "How do you Jin Yiwei know this?"

"There is no need for the general to worry too much about this. Our Jinyiwei has its own information channels, so the general should worry about himself.

Cooperate with us and after you overthrow Huang Chao, the imperial court will issue an imperial edict to make you the king of Qi, General.

If you don't cooperate with us, then general, you can only be subordinate to Zhu Tianpeng, and you will be a general forever.

Think it over, General! "

After Zhu Wen pondered for a long time, he said coldly: "Huang Chao, I have been your bull and horse for so many years, but you trust Zhu Tianpeng even more. Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

In all fairness, Zhu Wen didn't want to stage a coup. After all, no one wanted to be accused of rebellion, and he didn't want to cooperate with Jin Yiwei, because it would be tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

But things have come to this point, Zhu Wen has no choice but to cooperate with Jin Yiwei, launch a coup, and forcibly seize power.

A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "General, happy cooperation."

Zhu Wen looked at the other party coldly, and did not shake hands with him. Instead, he said coldly, "How can we cooperate? Only with the strength in the hands of this general, Huang Chao cannot be defeated."

"General, don't worry, our Jinyiwei has always been impeccable in handling affairs. This time, we have naturally formulated a seamless plan."

Not only was the man in black not embarrassed, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said: "After the [-] Qi army and the Beihai army meet, the general can directly return to Linzi with your [-] army, and the Beihai navy will hold Zhu Zhu back for you." It is impossible for the [-] troops in the canopy to arrive so soon, and the reinforcements from other places should not be there for me to teach you what to do with the rest, right?"

Zhu Wen showed a ferocious burst of laughter, and said viciously: "Kill Huang Chao and seize the throne."
