Chapter 223

(PS: The beginning of the month and Monday, please ask for a monthly ticket plus a recommended ticket at the beginning of the month!)

"As long as the kings are willing to act according to Xiaosheng's strategy, then Xuanda, which has abundant food and a large population, is not only at your fingertips." Fan Wencheng, who is aliased as Chen Wenfan, said slowly to the No. 29 thief in the lobby: "And Our Great Khan of the Liaodong Dajin Empire will also bestow official titles on all the kings, so that all the kings will become legitimate princes."

"Liaodong? Are you a Jian slave?" Even though the people present are all uneducated Caotou kings, there are still a few of them who are more knowledgeable. Wang Jiayin, who used to be a border guard, also came to his senses, and exclaimed in surprise: " You are a Jian slave? Fugu is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Liaodong, how did you come here?" Zhang Xianzhong was also very surprised, and shouted at Luo Rucai who led Fan Wencheng to the scene: "Cao Cao, you are stupid Now, what do you bring a crippled Jian slave here?"

Luo Rucai's Cao Cao nickname was given to him by the thief from Shaanxi. The reason is that Luo Rucai is vicious, treacherous and cunning. He said with a smile, "The Eighth King, of course there is a reason for me to bring him, because I think that if we really do what this Mr. Chen said, we might really be able to win the money and food. It is far better than going south and going back to grab the poor Shaanxi that we have already robbed."

"It's not bad that he can give us advice and help us win Xuanda." Zhang Xianzhong said proudly, "As for accepting the canonization of Liaodong as slaves, it's fine. We are princes in the first place, so we don't need to be canonized as slaves."

"That's right, we are lords to begin with, we don't need others to confer titles!" The other thieves applauded and echoed, and they all sneered at Fan Wencheng's offer of conferring slavery on his own initiative.Never thought that Fan Wencheng would suddenly burst out laughing, and said loudly: "The self-proclaimed Caotou King, can you be regarded as a real prince?"

"Gou Jiannu, what are you talking about?!" The faces of more than two dozen thieves changed color at the same time, and many impulsive ones simply drew their knives.Fan Wencheng showed no fear, and continued to speak loudly: "My lords, if you didn't hear clearly, then the student can say it again——My lords, self-proclaimed straw kings, are not real lords!"

"Damn it!" Zhang Xianzhong, who was tall and burly, jumped into a rage, grabbed Fan Wencheng by the neck, lifted Fan Wencheng up, and shouted with a fist as big as a jealous jar: "What's wrong with me proclaiming myself king? Can't kill you?"

"The Eight Great Kings proclaim themselves kings, of course they can kill those who are powerless." Although his face turned blue from being pinched by Zhang Xianzhong's cattail fan, Fan Wencheng was still very calm and said calmly: "But the Eight Great Kings Can a king proclaim himself a king, can he conquer the world? Can the people of the world be convinced to call the Eight Great Kings a prince? Besides, since ancient times, that Caotou king who proclaimed himself a king has achieved great things? Liu Bang, who really achieved great things, was The King of Han bestowed by Emperor Chu Yi, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who also achieved the great cause of the emperor, were the kings of Wu who were bestowed by Han Liner. They are the real princes who are justified, and based on the prince, they have achieved the emperor's hegemony. At the same time as them Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, as well as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, which one is not the self-proclaimed Caotou King? But what will happen to them, don't you know the Eight Great Kings?"

Zhang Xianzhong was speechless, but it was Luo Ru who called out, "Eighth King, let go of Mr. Chen, our self-proclaimed prince, it doesn't matter whether others recognize it or not, the key is that we ourselves recognize it, and let Mr. Chen finish speaking first. At that time, if you feel that what Mr. Chen said is unreasonable or wrong, I will not stop you if you want to fight or kill." Zhang Xianzhong stared and panted for a long time, and finally let Fan Wencheng down, and the other thieves also followed suit. Temporarily retreat, intending to wait for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking.

At this moment, Wang Jiayin, the chief thief, finally spoke, glaring at Fan Wencheng and shouting, "Chen Wenfan, what kind of official position are you at Jiannu? What proof do you have?"

"Xiaosheng is an official in the study room of Dajin's official residence, and he is the first Han official of Dajin. This time he is going to Shaanxi as an envoy, and he will temporarily act as Dajin's envoy." Fan Wencheng calmly took out an edict from his arms, Raising his head high, he said in a loud voice: "This is an edict personally bestowed by Emperor Dajin, appointing the students as ambassadors of the Kingdom of Dajin, please take a look at it."

The imperial edict that Fan Wencheng took out was written in Manchu, but Nurhachi ordered Erdeni and Gagai to create the old Manchu with reference to the Mongolian alphabet. Of course, I don't know any of them, so I can only stare wide-eyed and can't tell the truth from the fake.However, Wang Jiayin still had some insight, so he asked suspiciously: "The number one official of Jiannu, he seems to be Fan Wencheng, right? I've heard of his name, and I heard that when Jiannu invaded Shenyang, he rode alone and wielded a sword. Standing in front of the gate of Shenyang, he hacked to death many Ming officials who tried to close the gate, so he was named the first Hanchen by the old Jiannu Nuerhachi."

"Shaan Wang, you can read Mr. Chen Wenfan's name backwards, and you will understand." Luo Rucai said darkly.Wang Jiayin was startled, then stood up and exclaimed: "You are Fan Wencheng?!" Several other thieves also exclaimed, "You are Fan Wencheng? I heard that Officer Zhang Gou is looking for you, and his head is bigger than ours. Heads are worth money."

"That's right, the student is Fan Wencheng." Fan Wencheng saluted Wang Jiayin a thousand times, and said with a polite smile, "Don't blame the King of Shanxi and other princes, because the student is the most important criminal of Man Ming. At that time, I accidentally exposed a little whereabouts, and I was wanted by Zhang Haogu's little mad dog everywhere, so I can't use a pseudonym, please forgive me, King Shan and all the princes."

"Fan Wencheng, you are quite courageous. If you dare to declare your identity in front of us, are you not afraid that we will arrest you and hand you over to Officer Zhang Gou for a bounty?" Zhang Xianzhong asked darkly.Fan Wencheng smiled and replied loudly: "Eight Great Kings, students are not afraid, because the number one enemy of the kings right now is Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, and the number one enemy of our Dajin Kingdom is also Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog—the enemy of the enemy is Best friends, since our Dajin is best friends with all the kings, how can the students be afraid that the righteous kings will harm their friends cruelly?"

"Who is your friend? I, Zhang Xianzhong, will do murder, set fire, and other immoral things, except being a traitor!" Zhang Xianzhong growled.Fan Wencheng laughed and replied: "Eight Great Kings, what is a traitor? The Han Dynasty has been subjugated for more than 1000 years, and those Han people who survived the subjugation are the real traitors! A small student who invests money in the sky is a traitor. But your majesty, you are willing to rebel and make yourself king, isn't it an outright traitor? We are all common people, so don't laugh at half a hundred steps."

"Damn it, I killed you!" Zhang Xianzhong was completely enraged, and rushed forward to strangle Fan Wencheng to death.Over there, Luo Rucai quickly hugged Zhang Xianzhong, and persuaded repeatedly: "Eight Great Kings, calm down, calm down, the two countries have not yet fought each other, and we have not started a war with Da Jin. Isn't it a joke to kill Da Jin's envoy? Let's talk about Fan Mr. is here to give us gifts this time, to help us win Xuanda, what if he kills Xuanda? Don’t you want to go east to Xuanda the most, don’t you want to miss this opportunity?”

"Old Ba, don't talk yet." Wang Jiayin also stopped Zhang Xianzhong, and then turned to Fan Wencheng and asked, "Mr. Fan, you keep saying that you want to give Xuanda to us, how do you send it? Could it be that your Jiannu army intervened?" Wings fly to Xuanda, join us to fight Zhang Gouguan?"

"My lord, what you said is half right." Fan Wencheng said darkly: "Our Da Jin's army intends to send troops to Xuan Da and join forces with you to deal with Zhang Haogu's little mad dog. They borrowed from Mongolia and directly attacked Zhang Haogu's back!"

"Really?!" Wang Jiayin stood up excitedly, and the other thieves were both surprised and happy——Jiannu sent troops to sneak attack on the back of Young Master Zhang, didn't they let us pick up the cheap?Fan Wencheng nodded solemnly, and replied loudly: "Students dare not lie to the lord, in fact, the purpose of the student's mission to Shaanxi this time is to discuss with the lords, and join hands with me, Da Jin, to attack Xuan Da, and kill Zhang Haogu, a little mad dog, and suffer from the enemy! After the event is completed, we will not take a cent of Xuanda and Shanxi's land, people, food, gold and silver property, all of them belong to the princes, and what we need in Dajin is only the head of Zhang Haogu, a little mad dog, for our sake. The people of Shengjing, the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, will take revenge!"

"When will your Dajin army come to fight Xuanda?" Wang Jiayin asked nervously.Fan Wencheng replied in a deep voice: "As many as two months, as little as one month, there will be troops attacking the Xuanda Great Wall and copying Zhang Haogu's little mad dog! In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, our Dajin does not need all the lords to send troops to fight against Zhang Hao. The little mad dog is going head-to-head, I just ask the army of the lords to guard the Fugu, to pose a threat to Xuanda, temporarily restrain the main force of the little mad dog Zhang Haogu, and force the little mad dog Zhang Haogu not to dare to move the main force to go north. When the army sent troops to Xuanda, the main force of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog went north to rescue the Great Wall of Xuanda, and it was time for the troops of the princes to march eastward to Xuanda!"

"It's that simple?" Wang Jiayin couldn't believe that Jiannu would propose such a favorable condition.Fan Wencheng solemnly replied: "That's right, it's as simple as that, you princes don't need to take any risks, and you don't need to send troops. You only need to concentrate the main force in Fugu area for a month or two!" Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng added with a smile : "My lords, Shaanxi is poor and Xuan Da is rich. After the main force of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog was attracted to the north by our Da Jin's army, your army took the opportunity to advance eastward. Xuan Da's money, food and beauties are all Yours."

"Shaan Wang, this deal is a good deal, we can't afford a place for the time being, just wait here for a month or two!" Liu Guoneng was the first to yell.The other thieves also yelled, "Yes, just wait a month or two in Fugu, and help Dajin's army temporarily contain Zhang Gouguan. When Zhang Gouguan's main force goes to Xuanda Great Wall to fight the fire, we The army will seize the opportunity to rush into Xuanda, robbing money, food and women!"

"Mr. Fan, I wanted to ask you just now." The cunning Luo Rucai suddenly opened his mouth and asked Fan Wencheng: "If you want us to do this, what good will it do for your Dajin army? We only need us temporarily How can you be so generous to restrain Zhang Gouguan and give Xuan Da to us?"

"Lord Luo, students don't dare to lie to you. You temporarily restrain Zhang Haogu's little mad dog for our Dajin. It will benefit our Dajin too much." Fan Wencheng replied with a sinister smile: "Zhang Haogu Mad Dog's famous battle is to defend Jinzhou. In terms of defending the city alone, there are not many people in this world who can beat him. That is to say, if the kings don't temporarily restrain the main force of Zhang Haogu and little Mad Dog for us, Let him calmly arrange the defense of the Xuanda Great Wall, then it will be difficult for our Dajin army to break through the Great Wall defense line, and the kings contain the main force of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog. It is difficult for our Dajin to attack the empty Xuanda Great Wall. Isn’t it much lower? And after the kings took the opportunity to enter Xuanda, the Manming court’s Gyeonggi area and Shandong were also threatened, and the Manming court was forced to withdraw the Liaodong army to return to defense. The pressure we Dajin suffered in the Liaodong area , isn’t it much smaller?”

Luo Rucai thought about it carefully, and felt that Fan Wencheng's words were not without some truth, but he also believed Fan Wencheng's words.On the other side, Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly: "In other words, isn't it a big advantage for you to build slaves? Why should we send troops and effort to let you take this big advantage? What will you give us in return?"

"Eight Great Kings, isn't it a reward for our Khan to formally confer titles on your princes?" Fan Wencheng smiled and replied quickly: "Your Great Kings have become the princes of our Dajin. There are no other benefits. A salary of 5000 taels of silver a year There is still some rice and three thousand shi grains—of course, we need to work together to get rid of Zhang Haogu’s little mad dog, otherwise Zhang Haogu’s little mad dog will get in the way, and we Dajin just want to give salaries to the lords. , there is no way to send it over. Hehe, hehehehe..."

"In this way, it's a good deal to accept Dajin's canonization!" Many poor and frightened thieves' eyes lit up, and they began to covet Fan Wencheng's salary far away in Liaodong.Luo Rucai also turned to Wang Jiayin and said, "King of Shaanxi, in my opinion, this plan is completely feasible. Anyway, it's only May now, and the state capital in the south of Shaanxi hasn't harvested the grain yet. We can't get anything by going south now. It's better to wait a day." Wait, wait until the army of the Dajin Kingdom arrives and join us to deal with Zhang Gouguan. If this plan works, we will go east to Xuanda, if not, we will go south to Shaanxi for food, without wasting time, and we will be completely invincible , don’t worry about losing anything.”

"The method is good, but can our food and grass last for such a long time?" Wang Jiayin pondered.Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, all the thieves present laughed, "King Shan, what are you afraid of? The food and grass are finished, don't we still have two-legged sheep and meat?"

"Then it's settled! Stand firm in Fugu and restrain Zhang Gouguan's main force for two months!" Wang Jiayin made a decision on the spot, and then asked: "Then tell me, should we accept the king's honor bestowed by the Dajin Kingdom?" Where is the Jue?" Before the words finished, the thieves present exploded, or shouted, "Accept, of course accept, it is a good thing to take money and Lumi for nothing!" or shouted, "No, we are Han people, It’s okay to join forces with Jiannu, but you can’t be a traitor to Jiannu! It’s unacceptable!”

Seeing the scene of more than twenty thieves arguing in full swing, Fan Wencheng was overjoyed, and secretly said: "Zhang Haogu, little mad dog, let me see what you do this time! Hundreds of thousands of barbarians and thieves are here You don’t leave the door of your house, but Lin Dan suddenly comes over behind you, let me see if you have three heads and six arms, and block the threats from the north and west at the same time!"

………………

The rebels of the 29th Route who had already joined the alliance suddenly stood still, and they still stayed at the door of Young Master Zhang's house when Young Master Zhang flew to Kelanzhou to form an extremely solid triangle defense. This really made Young Master Zhang feel a little threatened—— — These are 30 to [-] hungry people who are crazy and hungry. Now they are frightened by their own reputation and dare not make mistakes casually. Big, tormenting the common people of Xuanda who are about to become popular because of the dog potato harvest.Moreover, there is a possible threat from Lin Danhan behind Young Master Zhang. If Lin Dan's army suddenly goes south to invade the Jimen Great Wall, and hundreds of thousands of thieves take the opportunity to rush into Xuanda and attack from all sides, that Young Master Zhang is really called even if he has three heads and six arms. You lose sight of the other.

Young Master Zhang captured Kelan Prefecture for two purposes. One is to show the military power and scare away the rebels who are entrenched in Fugu area; Hit the rebels head-on, and beat them away with force; but now that the purpose of demonstrating their military power has been achieved, the rebels in Fugu chose to stand still, neither run nor fight, and now Young Master Zhang is caught blind.Puzzled, Young Master Zhang, who has always been resourceful, scratched his head, "It doesn't make sense, why didn't the main force of the thieves not move? They have clearly elected Wang Jiayin as the leader, and unified actions and command, why didn't Wang Jiayin take advantage of this momentum Hurry up and fight a few victories to further consolidate his position? Could it be that the rebels also have a certain intelligence network and found out that Lin Dan is about to go south in a big way, so Lai is in Fugu to take advantage of it? Are the rebels so magical?"

The news brought by the secret work bought by Dongchang finally made the doubtful Young Master Zhang suddenly realize that a part of the thieves team in Fugu suddenly unfurled the banner of the Eight Banners of Jiannu Han, calling themselves the Lord Jiannu, and the team also Jiannu Han army claimed.After listening to the detailed report, Young Master Zhang immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Understood! Jiannu has contacted the bandits, and the news that Lin Dan might have plagiarized me must have spread to the bandits' army!"

What made Young Master Zhang even more furious was still to come. On almost the same day, Young Master Zhang received another message—I don’t know that it was the guy who lacked eight lifetimes of great virtue, who proposed a propaganda slogan for Wang Jiayin’s army, who called himself King of Shaanxi: "Welcome the King of Shaanxi, the King of Shaanxi will not pay the food!" Knowing the power of this slogan, Young Master Zhang made a decisive decision, and immediately launched a tit-for-tat propaganda slogan, "Kill the rebellious thieves, and after killing the rebellious thieves, you will be exempted from the tax!" Recited by the army, it was widely disseminated to the common people of Xuanda who had fully implemented the method of sharing the land into the mu, and encouraged the soldiers and civilians to spread it in the direction of Shaanxi and Gansu, so as to win the hearts of the people.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and at this time, the news that the Jiannu army was stationed in Yizhou City, which was only [-] miles away from Jinzhou, had also reached the capital through the report of the Governor of Liaodong.Forced by the situation, Wei Zhongxian was forced to stop his actions of disintegrating and disintegrating the generals in western Liaoning—this really made these people anxious, and the army of founding slaves could advance to Shanhaiguan in no time!Wei Zhongxian could only order Xiong Tingbi and the governor of Liaodong to expel the slave-building troops stationed in Yizhou and take back the city that was always threatening the Ningjin defense line.At the same time, Wei Zhongxian secretly notified Young Master Zhang, warning him to block the way for the thieves to advance eastward, so as to avoid the embarrassment of Daming Jingji being attacked on three sides.And Young Master Zhang, who was being attacked from both sides, was even more dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to take lightly the main force of the thieves who had cooperated with Jian Nu.

In desperation, Young Master Zhang, who wanted to preserve his strength and watched the fire from the other side, did not dare to completely count on Song Xiance to persuade Lin Dan and Daming to continue their ally relationship, Young Master Zhang had to make up his mind and prepared to fight before Lin Dan and Daming turned against each other. First clean up the main force of the thieves entrenched in Fugu, and free up your hands to deal with the threat from Lin Dan!In order to reduce the casualties of soldiers and reduce the consumption of military supplies, Young Master Zhang had to be cheeky and sent a letter to Sun Chengzong for help, hoping that Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou's main force who had gone north to Yan'an could cooperate and jointly beat the main force of the rebels entrenched in Fugu.

Skynet is not missing, it's not that it doesn't report, it's not time!Some time ago, Sun Chengzong proposed to join forces with Young Master Zhang to suppress the bandits. In order to preserve his strength, Young Master Zhang refused shamelessly. After feeling threatened, he brazenly offered to join forces with Sun Chengzong. This time, it was Sun Chengzong who made the decision.However, our Sun Ge is always a man of culture, a genuine and modest gentleman, and he will not be so low as to imitate Young Master Zhang and find excuses to shirk his refusal—so in his reply to Young Master Zhang, Sun Ge first listed in detail the imperial court’s arrears in Shaanxi and Gansu. The army's military pay and food and grass accounts have proved the embarrassment of his inability to attack Fugu.In the end, Sun Chengzong listed two options for Young Master Zhang. The first choice is that Young Master Zhang came forward to ask the court for all the arrears and salaries for the Shaanxi-Gansu army, as well as the food and grass to support this operation. Then Sun Chengzong would definitely personally Sending troops to the north, and joining forces with Young Master Zhang to wipe out the main force of the rebels in Fugu—of course, this is something that Young Master Zhang would never agree to.The second choice given by Sun Chengzong is that Master Zhang's Xuanda army will attack mainly, and the Shaanxi-Gansu army will support it-in other words, Master Zhang's army will be used as cannon fodder, and Sun Chengzong's army will pick cheap peaches behind.

"Mother Xipi! If you don't beat my grandson, I will beat you!" After reading Sun Chengzong's reply, Young Master Zhang, who called himself Zhang Zhongzheng, cursed a famous saying and shouted: "Since those rebellious thieves dare to collude with Jiannu, they dare to beat Jiannu The banner is to betray the country and seek glory and become a traitor, and I can use some insidious tricks, and I can have a clear conscience!"
