Qiming 1158

Chapter 308 The truth is true
His predictions were not wrong, Gao Cunfu and Xiao Tula were trying to please the emperor's envoy in every possible way.

It was sending money, gifts, and beauties, and the comfort and comfort of the emperor's messengers were almost gone.

Then try to say good things.

Having said that, the emperor's messenger didn't really lose his soul. After all, if you have money, you have to spend your life, and if you have a beautiful woman, you have to have a life to enjoy. If something happens, you will be implicated and your life will be lost. So what if you have more money and more beautiful women?

So on military issues, the messenger did not dare to be negligent.

He followed Xiao Tulu to the "front line", observed the military situation arranged by Xiao Tulu, looked left and right, but did not find anything different from Xiao Tulu's report.

However, through the observation of the wounded barracks and the morale of the soldiers, the messenger still noticed some clues, and realized that this must not be the real front line.

In this regard, the messenger was very angry, angrily scolded Xiao Tulu, and asked Xiao Tulu to take him to the real front line.

This is not beyond the expectations of Xiao Tulu and Gao Cunfu. They made a plan for this, that is, to take the messenger to the "real front line".

Yes, in order to accompany the messenger to play, Xiao Tula and Gao Cunfu arranged for their cronies to do two plays. One was a fake frontline that was easy to see, and the other was a fake frontline that was not so easy to see and was closer to the real frontline. front.

Anyway, it's all fake. Breaking through the first layer will make it difficult for the messenger to break through the second layer.

And Xiao Tula and Gao Cunfu stood on the third floor.

As long as the deception is superb, they can always fool the past, and then find ways to continue to fool, send money, or exchange benefits. All in all, as long as they can, they can always use it as a bargaining chip.

Then, let Xiao Tula perform his traditional arts again.

Let him surrender his identity, cry loudly, and then send money and things to women, let yellow and white things blind his eyes, and let more delicate beauties blind his sanity.

"I know that the situation on the front line is indeed not as good as I said, but it will definitely not be bad. It's just that I still need time, and His Majesty keeps urging me to make mistakes several times. The last thing to do is to reassure Your Majesty.

This is really not my intention. I really have no choice. There are so many thieves and soldiers, and it is really impossible to quickly solve the war in just one or two months. Please, Your Majesty, be a little more gracious and give some more time! "

Xiao Tula cried very miserably, and money and beauty were too tormenting. With this test of bureaucracy, who can withstand such a test?
So the messenger was a little shaken.

"I know it's not easy for you, but Your Majesty's side is really anxious. Your Majesty is preparing for the Southern Expedition. The Khitan people's rebellion against His Majesty is very annoyed..."

"So you see, I have made a lot of progress, the rebels have been suppressed by me, I just need some time, Your Majesty is strict, once the time limit is exceeded, it will kill me, I am really afraid, please also ask the messenger Help!"

The messenger was more hesitant.

At this time, Xiao Tula moved out the killer.

"I heard that you have a brother who wants to get a position in the Ministry of Households. It just so happens that I have some friendship with a servant in the Ministry of Households. If the messenger can help me and wish me to get through the difficulties, then..."

The identity of the messenger has long been told to Gao Cunfu by someone with a heart. This is no longer a secret. Even his family's situation was thoroughly understood by Gao Cunfu in a short period of time.

Sure enough, the messenger was shocked, surprised by Xiao Tulu's energy.

"Such a thing...is it really possible?"

"As long as you can help me get through this difficult time, why bother with such trivial matters?"

Xiao Tuli wiped away his tears and showed a sinister smile as if he changed his face: "I'm not sure about a higher official position, but there is still no problem with a middle-level position in the Ministry of Households."

The messenger pursed his lips and lowered his head to think seriously.

"Your Majesty's side is really urgent. If I can go back and say something nice for you, I won't buy too much time. At most one month, another month, if the rebellion can't be quelled, I will suffer with you. severe punishment."

Xiao Tulu heaved a sigh of relief.

"January is enough time. I will launch a full-scale counterattack soon. The situation will get better soon. Please rest assured."

"So good."

The messenger nodded, accepted all the gifts from Xiao Tula, and boarded the pirate ship.

The messenger then returned to Liaoyang City, where he received warm hospitality from Gao Cunfu, as well as food, wine and beauties, which made him spend three days of ecstasy.

Three days later, the reluctant messenger set off to return to Beijing to return to his life. Gao Cunfu arranged for his subordinate Li Pu to send the messenger away from Liaoyang City quickly.

"Be sure to send him away safely, and then tell him about our affairs. Please take care of him and speak kind words to His Majesty, understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

Li Pusu said that he understood.

Along the way, the messenger's mood was still good, and he and Li Pusu were chatting and laughing more and more, and the two rode horses side by side in front of the team, so happy.

Talking and talking, Li Pusu looked back at the distance between himself and other people, and he had a scruple in his heart.

"Messenger, I want to tell you something very important, and please don't look back, don't be surprised, and don't make a sound."

Li Pusu said softly.

The messenger was stunned, looked at Li Pu Suyue in surprise, and frowned.

"whats the matter?"

"You were deceived."

"what?"

The messenger was stunned.

"Please don't make a sound, please!"

"........."

The messenger took a deep breath and continued to look ahead as if nothing had happened: "You said."

"The fake frontline and the real frontline you saw are both fake. They were deliberately faked by Xiao Tula and Gao Cunfu to deceive you. The real frontline is in a very tragic situation. to the possibility of peace.”

Hearing these words, the messenger's pupils shrank and his mind was shocked.

"Do you have any basis for saying this?"

"I am Deputy Gao's left-behind official, and I have traveled to the front line many times to deliver supplies to observe the situation. I am very aware of the situation on the front line. I participated in the layout of the two fake front lines you saw, and some of the stains on those tents are I put it on by hand.

And the wounded soldiers you saw must have said two words to you, one is to fight for your majesty, I don’t know how hard it is, and the other is to want to exterminate the traitors as soon as possible, you can go home, these two words are taught by me What they say, they basically don't say anything else. "

The messenger panicked.

"This...isn't it possible?"

"This is true. They have lied for a long time in order to deceive His Majesty to buy time. If they can solve the problem with this time, I will keep silent, but the fact is that the number of rebels is increasing.

Continuing to be concealed by them, the rebels are likely to gain the upper hand and threaten Liaoyang, and the situation will become more unstable. I am deeply worried, and I really can’t bear to see this day coming, and please be sure to inform the messenger of this. His Majesty! "

"me……"

The messenger rode on the horse, the whole person was sluggish, and he didn't know what to do next.

Li Pusuyue knew it.

"These gifts and money messengers can be accepted. After that, you only need to tell Your Majesty that it is to paralyze Gao Cunfu and Xiao Tula, so as not to be persecuted by them. It is convenient to tell His Majesty the truth, and then there is hope for everything!"

The messenger was confused, and it took a while for him to calm down.

"Tell me the truth, how bad is the current situation?"

"The bandit army initially occupied Hampyeong, Hanzhou, Longzhou and Xinzhou. So far, the [-]-strong army has only recovered Guiren County, and the rebels retreated on their own initiative, and the main force was pinned down by the rebels in Pingguo County. Not an inch below.

I originally thought that this would restrain the development of the rebels, but as a result, the rebels fought more and more and their strength continued to increase. It only took more than a month before and after they could only be trapped in the city to fight outside the city. Now there is a tendency to counterattack Quy Nhon County! "

Li Pusuyue explained the truth, which scared the messenger a lot.

"It's like saying that the counter-insurgency army has not made any progress in more than one month and two months?"

"Almost none, the two armies have been at stalemate, and each other will win and lose. The stalemate is very fierce. Xiao Tula and Xiao Huaizhong can't help the Khitan rebels, and they dare not divide their troops to attack, and they can't change the situation.

The Khitan rebels took this opportunity to recruit a large number of soldiers, train soldiers, the number of soldiers is increasing, and the weapons and equipment are getting better and better. The situation is very bad. "

"This……"

The messenger was horrified and asked, "Can you confirm that this is true?"

"I won't give you money, I will give you money only to make you tell lies in front of Your Majesty. What I say is the truth, and I am loyal to His Majesty!"

Li Pu's words made the messenger confirm the truth of the matter, so he knew what to do.

He gritted his teeth and embarked on the return journey, and hurried back, just wanting to send the news back to the Central Capital as soon as possible, so that Wanyan Liang would know what "contributions" those bastards he trusted had made to his career.

The news was sent to Zhongdu on the first day of May, and to Wanyanliang's desk.

On the same day, Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui got married.
