Chapter 744
It is said that since Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, was captured by Zhang Sanbai, he was thrown into the prison of the palace. Although the rebels later recognized him, but Zhang Shun was busy with everything, so he ignored him.

In this way, this guy had no choice but to be a companion with Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, and either talked about the art of war or played chess all day long.

Shanzi has no Jiazi, and he doesn't know how old he is in prison.

The two of them were a little laid-back at the beginning, but after a long time, it was inevitable that they would become a little boring.

This morning, Lu Xiangsheng got up early as usual, first warmed up with a punch, but woke up Hong Chengchou again.

He couldn't help complaining: "You don't make people clean early in the morning. You are a scholar. What's the use of practicing this?"

"No matter how well you practice, you're just a reckless man. Xiang Yu said it well, 'one man's enemy is not enough to learn, and ten thousand people can be the enemy'."

Lu Xiangsheng was very upset when he heard that, so he pulled his face and said: "If you have my ability, thousands of troops will not help you, and you will be caught in prison?"

It turned out that Hong Chengchou was also a shameless person, he was ashamed to say that he had no way out, so he had to drag himself out and let Zhang Sanbai arrest him.

Lu Xiangsheng did not suspect him, and said that he was captured alive by the rebels.

When Hong Chengchou heard Lu Xiangsheng mentioning this matter, he was a little unhappy.

He couldn't help ironing: "I didn't see that you were able to kill seven in and seven out among the thieves? Instead, a woman caught it with a fishing net. Hey, what a big perch!"

Lu Xiangsheng was choked to death by Hong Chengchou, his face flushed red.He couldn't help but want to use force to solve the problem, but Hong Chengchou, who had suffered a lot, avoided it.

Seeing that he couldn't vent his anger, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to sit down.He put down a few straws, and shouted with a smile: "Master Hong, let's have a talk?"

"Get off!" Hong Chengchou waved his hands, how could he do what he did?
He disdainfully said: "With your little tricks, who can you coax? When did you not change your hands into a fight? I'm not a fool, can I continue to be fooled by you?"

It turned out that Lu Xiangsheng's chess skills were as good as Lu Weiqi's, but after Hong Chengchou was replaced, he lost more and won less.

Lu Xiangsheng was always determined to win or lose, and he was impatient to lose, so he couldn't help but mess up the chessboard.

Hong Chengchou's victory was in sight, seeing him playing a scoundrel, he couldn't help being sarcastic and saying some unpleasant things.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't stand it, so he couldn't help but grab him and give him a full punch.

It stands to reason that both of them are high-ranking and powerful people, so they shouldn't be so ignorant of their self-respect.But it feels so good to bully people, anyway, idle is idle, it is inevitable to have some fun.

Hong Chengchou knew that he was alone and weak, and he couldn't fight against the three people in front of him, so he had to hide away from this scoundrel.

It was just that the two sides were silent for a while, and Hong Chengchou felt uncomfortable in the prison again, so he couldn't help but said: "Old Lu, you said it's okay...what's the intention of the bandit chief?"

"He arrested the two of us, killed and didn't kill, released and didn't let go, why are we locked up here?"

"How do I know? Maybe it's because I forgot, or maybe it's not necessarily." Lu Xiangsheng didn't "care about previous suspicions", and guessed casually.

"That's impossible!" Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, shook his head and asserted, "What are you and I? They are the pillars of the imperial court, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty! Without the two of us, most of the Ming Dynasty would have collapsed, and the rebellious officials and thieves would not be able to stop. Know the importance of you and me!"

"Come on! I only have one or two thousand soldiers under my command, and you have more people under your command, but only [-] to [-] soldiers. If Ming's pillars are so thin, they will be gone by now!" Lu Xiangsheng laughed at himself.

"That's right, so the imperial court still has the power to fight!" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, asserted, "It's just that it will be very difficult to control the bandits, and the government and the opposition will have a headache!"

This kind of political discussion is originally one of the hobbies of scholar-bureaucrats, and they can express their ambitions and insights based on this, which has always been loved by literati.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was concentrating on discussing current affairs, Lu Xiangsheng stopped finding fault. After thinking about it seriously for a while, Lu Xiangsheng replied: "The thieves have a worry, and the court also has a worry, both because they wanted to be bandits."

"Shun thieves have become sitting bandits, naturally they can't run around, and they are easy to be wiped out by officers and soldiers. This is the worry of shun thieves; however, once shun thieves and Henan gentry collude with each other, I'm afraid their roots will be deep and hard to control, and they will become a disaster for the world! "

"Collusion? How collusion!" Hong Chengchou sneered, "Are you referring to the collusion of smashing the heads of gentry, humiliating their wives and daughters, and looting all valuables?"

He had a lot of contact with "Qin Kou", so Po didn't take it seriously.

Lu Xiangsheng also dealt with this gang of "Qin Kou" in Yunyang, and knew their virtues.He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Among the bandits, the Shun thief is the most treacherous. Lu Weiqi, a famous scholar in Henan Province, was imprisoned before. I heard with my own ears that fellow and Lu thief were cooperating. He is going to release Lu thief's son as a condition. Lu Zei persuaded the gentry of Henan Province to join the bandits."

"How dare he?" Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, could hardly believe his ears. Is this the sun coming out from the west?
"Why don't you dare?" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Master Hong, don't try to be aggressive all day long, and pay more attention to the knowledge of economics and economics when you have time!"

Ni, Hong Chengchou almost scolded him when he heard the words.

He is aware of Lu Xiangsheng's political proposition, which is to demand taxation from rich households and landlords.This is not a joke. Have you ever seen someone cut himself for nothing?
Kings, gentry, bureaucrats and frontier soldiers are all the pillars of the court, which one can you cut down?
Hong Chengchou is much smarter than Lu Xiangsheng, he doesn't care where the tax comes from.As long as he is not short of Hong Chengchou, and his soldiers are not short, he can win battles and be promoted to rank.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Hong only knows about soldiers, but he doesn't hear about others."

"So you were captured by a thief in the first battle?" Lu Xiangsheng asked, and couldn't help exposing his old ways.

Hong Chengchou was irritated by him again and again, so he couldn't help asking: "Then how good is you, the governor of Yunyang?"

"I only have [-] standard soldiers and [-] hairless soldiers under my command. It is not uncommon for them to be broken by thieves!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help retorting.

"Then..." Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his lips, he found that it was useless to force his words.

He couldn't help but sighed and said: "Actually, what you said is right, neither of us can do it, and it is estimated that the others will not do it."

"The defeat in this battle is my fault. If the imperial court's [-] troops are completely lost, I'm afraid that Shaanxi will not rest in peace!"

"Based on my guess, this time the Shun bandits will definitely send their troops into Shaanxi, and I don't know who can stop them!"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and said: "Actually, Nanyang Mansion is also empty, and once the bandits go south, it won't be much better. As for what happened to Daming, we can only resign ourselves to fate. The two imprisoned people, I really can't do anything!"
