Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 869 The King’s Fear and Anger

"Is there any movement in Shi Le again?"

Almost when Zu Ti received the news, in Bohai City, the capital of Bohai County, next door to Hejian County, the King of Jiangdu was looking at the person who had woken him up with a displeased look.

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will definitely not ignore this matter easily!" It can be seen that being woken up from his sleep made King Jiangdu feel very unhappy, even if he woke up His person is Lu Zhi, a staff member he values ​​​​very much these days.

Speaking of this Lu Zhi, he has quite an origin. He is the great-grandson of Lu Zhi, the Northern Zhonglang general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His grandfather Lu Yu and father Lu Jue were both important ministers of the northern court.

Moreover, Lu Zhi had a close relationship with Emperor Zhaolie of the New Han Dynasty, and the two sides had a deep connection. Therefore, after the Xuanwu Northern Expedition, the Lu family's treatment among the northern families was relatively good.

However, in the current era, the favors of Emperor Zhaolie are of course not as good as the favor network of the Jiangnan family. Therefore, the achievements of the Lu family can be said to be high or low in the New Han Dynasty. Anyone in the family who has some ambitions will Look for opportunities to advance.

Lu Zhi just noticed that after King Jiangdu came to Jizhou, he asked someone to find a way out, got a letter of recommendation from Zhang Ying, and came to him on his own initiative to give advice to King Jiangdu. After barely preserving his vitality and turning conservative and defensive, this person became more and more important.

Now, a lot of information under King Jiangdu is handled by this person, and he handles it in such an orderly manner that many times, in order not to be bothered by official duties, King Jiangdu would directly let Lu Zhi handle some matters without going through him. hand.

Because of this, tonight, Lu Zhi suddenly woke him up and interrupted his good sleep, which made him even more impatient.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is indeed a matter of today. It is of great importance and I have to ask you for instructions. Once the opportunity is delayed, it may cause future troubles and shake the stability of the North!"

"Shaking the stability of the North Land?" King Jiangdu couldn't sit still when he heard this. "Could it be that Shi Le is coming again?" Immediately afterwards, he suddenly remembered something, "I remembered it. I remember that you told me yesterday, the day before yesterday, that there seemed to be a fight in Youzhou. Chen Zhi and Wang Jun were attacking each other. These rebellious officials and traitors, relying on some soldiers and horses, did not put the imperial court and the Liu family in In my eyes, if they messed up like this, Shi Le must have seen an opportunity and wanted to attack us again!"

"Your Majesty, a traitor like Shi Le is the real enemy. You sit in Jizhou and accumulate strength in order to finally defeat, capture, and kill him." Lu Zhi listened to his lord and became more and more angry as he spoke. Something was wrong. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart. At first, I thought that King Jiangdu was willing to come to Chaos Land because he had great ambitions. He did look like a hero at first. Who would have thought that after being defeated by Shi Le several times, He showed his true nature and was extremely cowardly, "Moreover, the real threat to the stability of Jizhou is actually Na Shile's next actions. If his subordinates think well, this person will probably seize the opportunity and storm Hejian County. Your Majesty …”

"So you didn't come to attack me!" Jiangdu Wang breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body eased from his tense emotions, and then he became angry, "Since he didn't come to attack me, why make such a fuss? Hejian County is Abandoned prince... the territory of King Hejian, he was repeatedly seen in Luoyang, but now he probably has returned to his country, even if he is attacked, it is his business, not to mention that Zuti is not very capable. Wouldn't it be perfect to let him and Shi Le fight each other and consume their strength?" Lu Zhi still sighed secretly, but he said: "The Zu Taishou is a character, but he is hard to support after all, besides, your majesty also gave it to me. He was conferred a title, and now he is the general under his command..."

"When you talk about this, I get angry!" King Jiangdu's face tightened, "He was summoned to protect him earlier, but this person refused to obey the order. Now that he was defeated by Shi Le, he brought the blame on himself."

Lu Zhi frowned and said, "In any case, Shi Lefang can't use his full strength with the ancestors and grand guards at his side. Once he breaks through the Hejian Kingdom, there will be no barrier for our soldiers and horses from now on. I'm afraid we won't even be able to recuperate in the future." We're here!" The meaning is already obvious. If Zu Ti dies, you, King Jiangdu, will have no place to retreat even if you are scared!
After all, King Jiangdu also knew the current situation. Hearing this, his expression became uncertain, and finally he said helplessly: "That Zu Ti is really useless! There is also the Youzhou War, which is the source of trouble!"

Speaking of this, he became more and more angry. He felt that his situation was all the fault of others, especially the Youzhou War that caused the situation in the North. Being messed up by Chen Zhi made him even more angry.

"Tell me about Chen Zhi, how can he, a Daijun, be Wang Jun's opponent in two states? Wang Jun wanted to attack him, but he didn't just surrender, but resisted and even made a sneak attack! Now that the battle is in a stalemate, Shi Le was given a chance!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but turn back and forth, and then said bitterly: "No matter how you say it, Wang Jun is also the governor of the two states. He is justly named, and he is also a great Sima and a great general. As a result, Chen Zhi still resists. This matter I immediately wrote a memorial and reported it to the court, asking the court to punish Chen Zhi! I thought that after this battle, Daijun would definitely be defeated. Chen Zhi might not be imprisoned because of his background and origin, but when he returns to the capital, he will be good-looking!"

"Your Majesty, this is not the main problem at the moment." Lu Zhi looked at the angry lord in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache. He also knew some news about Luoyang Buddhist Commentary and could understand why his lord behaved like this. However, the current situation was not to investigate. At this time, "Our army should send an elite army to support the Hejian Kingdom to intimidate Shi Le and avoid the disaster of death and coldness. In addition, someone should go to Youzhou as an envoy to negotiate with the winner after the outcome of the Youzhou War." , let them quickly adjust their forces and scare Shi Le so that this thief does not dare to act rashly."

"You still want to send troops to support the Hejian Kingdom?" King Jiangdu frowned, "I don't think this is a good idea. The soldiers should be on standby here to prevent accidents from happening. The stone bandits attacking Hejian were just what you expected. It’s hard to say whether he can attack or not. Even if he does attack, he might be attacking in the east and west, and his intention is for me!”

Still sighing secretly, Lu Zhi knew very well the subtext of this lord, which was just to leave soldiers to protect him and divide the troops. He felt uneasy, so he quoted a few words of advice from classics, and finally made the other party realize that if something happened in Hejian , it is really possible to cause an imbalance of power in Jizhou and put himself in more danger, so he still reluctantly agreed to send a troop to support, but the number was not satisfactory.

However, Lu Zhi knew very well that it was not easy for King Jiangdu to do this, so he recommended himself and went to Youzhou personally.
