Fu Song

Chapter 395 Price
Pugui hesitated to decide.

The identity of the guest from Bianliang is extraordinary, and the person represented by the guest is an honorable person rarely seen in this world.

If possible, Pugui naturally hopes to establish a relationship with such a person and get close to him.

For Luo's ghost country, the benefits are self-evident.

However, the request made by this guest now makes it difficult for Pugui to make a decision.

The guest's surname is Zhao, his first name is Yuan, and his style name is Ziyu.

He is the most important staff member and confidant of Zhao Jing, king of Chu in Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yuan had always stayed in the Chu Palace in the capital and rarely left Bianliang, but this time, he actually came in person, which in itself represented the extraordinary nature of this matter.

Zhao Yuan asked Pugui to kill a person and wipe out a force.

Xiao Cheng and the Chamber of Commerce that is now active in Qianzhou.

For this person and this force, Pugui, the master of Luoshi Ghost Country, is no stranger.

Just last year, the Luo Dian ghost country was destroyed, and it was the power that Zhao Yuan was talking about that wiped out the Luo Dian ghost country.

Speaking of Luo Shi Ghost Country and Luo Dian Ghost Country, they are still two melons on one vine!
But one is attached to Dali, and the other is attached to Song Dynasty.

The Luo Dian ghost country was destroyed, and all the main people in the country fled to Dali, and some also fled to the Luo Shi ghost country, which caused Pugui to pay attention to this neighbor.

"I've always wondered why the imperial court didn't publicly arrest Xiao Cheng?" Pugui said, "As far as I know, this federation has Xiao Cheng at its core. As long as he is publicly declared a traitor and treasonous, then he will be arrested." Many people under his command will disperse, just like Bozhou, Sizhou and other places, they can never openly cooperate with a rebel, and those big businessmen under his command are even less likely to cooperate with him."

Zhao Yuan said in distress, "It would be great if things were this simple. There are too many things involved here. Great ghost master, didn't you realize that the court has never made a conclusion on the Xiao family?"

Pugui shook his head, expressing that he did not quite understand.

"Because in the northwest, we lost the war with Xiao Ding, and we lost completely." Zhao Yuan sighed: "In order to quell the military disaster and let Xiao Ding retreat from Shaanxi Road, the imperial court paid a lot. Therefore, the imperial court did not I hope that Xiao Ding will be angered again because of some small things, so that there will be another military disaster. Although the imperial court has been moving troops to Shaanxi Road and re-arming, the defense is still like a big sieve, which can be broken as soon as it is poked. It wants to form an effective fighting force , it will take time. What's more, there are still Liao people on Hebei Road eyeing you?"

"Can I do it?" Pugui said.

"Of course you can!" Zhao Yuan said: "And you have an excellent reason. The Luo Dian ghost country was destroyed by them, didn't you? This is the reason why you went to war with them, to avenge your brother. If you do it, Xiao Ding will find No trouble from the imperial court."

"It can be seen that I may not be able to beat it!" Pugui smiled, picked up his teacup, and said. "Mr. Zhao, if the imperial court doesn't declare Xiao Cheng a rebel, it will spread the word to the state. Sizhou Tian can almost openly support Xiao Cheng. Those big businessmen will also export all kinds of materials to Qianzhou without fear. Now, Guangnan West Cen Zhong of Taoism has already gained great power, didn’t you say that the imperial court wants Jin Jin to be the appeasement envoy of Guangnan Xidao? If you say that this person has nothing to do with Xiao Cheng, I’m afraid no one will believe it!”

Having said that, Pugui paused for a moment, looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "Mr. Zhao, tell me, how much confidence do I have in this battle? I could see clearly when this man attacked Luo Dian. , far from being comparable to the general army!"

Zhao Yuan smiled: "The great ghost master is too modest. Although the court also has the court's difficulties and cannot publicly declare this person a rebel, there are other means. Of course, those big businessmen you mentioned will receive Warning, so in the short term, Qianzhou will no longer have a large amount of materials and money entering. Although these businessmen have money and background, they are like ants in front of the court. If they are really disobedient, the court will crush them , and turned into dust."

Pugui raised his eyebrows. Naturally, things would not be as easy as what Zhao Yuan said.

Behind these big merchants, there are either bigwigs in the imperial court as their background, or they have strong local strength. The imperial court cannot publicly declare Xiao Cheng as a rebel, so these people have a lot of reasons to shirk this matter.Although Chu King Zhao Jing is unparalleled in the limelight, there are not a few forces opposing him in the country.

The imperial court that Zhao Yuan was talking about was actually nothing more than King Zhao Jing of Chu.

Zhao Jing has a grudge against the Xiao family, and it's an irresolvable hatred.

So Zhao Jing must do everything possible to eliminate guys like Xiao Cheng in the bud.

Compared with Xiao Ding, people like Xiao Cheng are more terrifying.

Xiao Ding made it clear that he was going to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. This kind of enemy is on the bright side, and everyone can see clearly, so it is easier to deal with it.It's nothing more than that at a certain suitable time, one will either die for you or die for me.

But people like Xiao Cheng, hiding behind the scenes, seem harmless to humans and animals, but in fact they are desperately digging a big hole, who knows when Zhao Jing will be buried in this big hole.

Xiao Cheng's not raising the flag to rebel is really a brilliant banner.

Seeing that Xiao Cheng's power is growing day by day, how could Zhao Jing not be in a hurry?
Almost all of Qianzhou has fallen into Xiao Cheng's hands, and the Chamber of Commerce is more like an octopus, extending Xiao Cheng's power infinitely. You don't even know that Xiao Cheng is hiding in that corner. A certain force of sincerity.

The soldiers came out of the Luo Dian ghost country, and easily wiped out this regime that had existed for countless years in one fell swoop. If you give him more time, wouldn't it make the tiger grow wings?
Just say that right now, Guangnan West Road is about to fall into its trap?
Zhao Yuan, don't you think that you really don't know anything about the situation?

Pugui narrowed his eyes. He felt that he should give Zhao Yuan some hints to let him understand that if he continued to go around like this, he might not get anything.

After all, I was just cooperating with him, and I respected him and Zhao Jing, but I didn't want them to be fools.

Why did they suddenly find themselves, do they really think they don't know?
"Mr. Zhao, have you suffered a great loss in Guangnan West Road?" Pugui asked with a smile.

Zhao Yuan was slightly taken aback.

That's right, if he hadn't suffered a big loss, if he hadn't allowed Cen Zhong to win an absolute victory in Guangnan West Road in one fell swoop, how could he come to this place?One careless move, and the whole game is lost.

Looking at it now, when Cen Zhong went to Guangnan Xidao, it was because the opponent played an extremely secret game. It was ridiculous that he didn't see it at the beginning, and when he saw it and wanted to make amends, it was too late.

In the end, he had to try his best to show up and use such a brutal move. It is good to succeed, but the problem is that he not only lost, but also lost very ugly, and even lost Guangnan Xidao to the opponent.

A big defeat on the battlefield, and a big defeat on the court.

If in a few more years, Cen Zhong integrates Guangnan West Road and now Qianzhou is integrated into one, then something big will happen.

The official's health is very good, and he won't die for a while!

Those younger brothers of Zhao Jing also grow up year by year, who said that Zhao Jing will definitely be able to secure that seat!
With the virtue of a person like Xiao Cheng, I'm afraid the next thing is to support a prince to confront Zhao Jing, right?

"Great ghost master, the king of Chu has always been generous." Zhao Yuan decided to go straight to the mountains. These barbarians, if they don't see rabbits, don't scatter eagles, and if they don't see benefits, you want them to do their best for you. Don't even think about it.

Pugui smiled and made a gesture.

"Great ghost master, the peace envoy of Zizhou Road is willing to help us!" Zhao Yuan said: "As long as the ghost master agrees with our plan, then in the next few months, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and armor can equip [-] people." , weapons, bows and arrows will enter your country through various channels, and some of the army will also enter your country after disguising to support the battle." Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "This time, we I don’t want to make the same mistakes I made in Guangnan West Road again, if I don’t move, I will stop, and if I move, I will crush my opponent with the momentum of Mount Tai.”

Pugui's eyes lit up.

What Zhao Yuan said was really good, the King of Chu is very generous.

"As far as I know, Song Dynasty has always been very strict in controlling these things, and Zizhou Road will definitely not be able to produce these things."

"Of course, these things all come from Bianliang Craftsmanship camp, and then under the operation of the third division, they will quietly disappear from the accounts, and then be transported to you!" Zhao Yuanshen Said: "This point, the great ghost master has no doubts. Now the person in charge of the craftsman camp is His Highness the King of Chu, and the minister in charge of the third envoy has been replaced by Cui Ang from Luo Song."

Having said that, Pugui has no doubts.

Looking at Pugui's appearance, Zhao Yuan felt a little contemptuous, for he really was a man with an eye for money.

"In addition, after this matter is over, the area that Luo Dian Ghost Kingdom originally belonged to will be owned by the Great Ghost Lord!" Zhao Yuan threw out a big bait again.

"Will Banzhou and Sizhou join the war?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "This time, I have to have a good talk with Bozhouyang and Sizhoutian. There is a price to pay for letting them sit on the sidelines, and these imprisoned states are the price. The king of Chu promised that they can now do it Possession, when the king of Chu ascends the Great Treasure, he will clearly agree to this matter, I believe this will make them tempted."

"Where is Guangnan West Road?"

"Guangnan Xidao can't take care of itself right now!" Zhao Yuan said: "We will delay the appointment of Cen Zhong as the appeasement envoy of Guangnan Xidao for a month or two. The people in the army can reject his orders openly and in accordance with the regulations. Moreover, this time Guangnan West Road is injured, and the Qingyuan Army has basically lost its combat effectiveness temporarily. The other troops are still waiting and watching. Kung fu, not to mention anything else, will at least create a lot of trouble for Cen Zhong. The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, and he will not be able to protect himself! If he makes a mistake in the process and something serious happens, then this one has not been obtained yet I am afraid that he will be replaced by others immediately. The transshipment envoy of Guangnan Xidao also has his eyes widened and wants to go further! He was crushed to death by Tao Hongyuan and Fu Changrong before, but now Cen Zhong The root is not stable, it would be strange if he is honest!"

"If that's the case, then I, Luo's ghost country, are willing to exterminate such rebellious people for the court!" Pugui said contentedly: "Mr. Zhao, when will these things you mentioned arrive?"

"When I left Beijing, the arrangements were generally made. It will take at most one month before everything will be in place!" Zhao Yuan said.

"Okay, then at the end of October, you will be able to see the army of my Luo family's ghost kingdom launch an attack on these rebels." Pugui said. "Mr. Zhao, when the time comes, Zizhou Road will also come with soldiers and horses. This means that several groups of soldiers and horses are mixed together. Who will command?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "In such a battle, you don't need the big ghost lord to fight in person, you must send your generals to lead the army, so we hope that this battle will be under the unified command of our generals. This person is very familiar with the Xiao family, and has fought against them in the past."

Pugui looked puzzled, "Who is this person?"

"This person's surname is Tang, and his name is Nu."

"Never heard of it!"

"He will arrive at your place in a few days. This person is a commander in the Great Song Dynasty. Not only is his personal bravery extraordinary, but his strategy is also first-rate. The King of Chu specially arranged for him to return to Beijing to report on his duties during this time." Zhao Yuan said.

"We'll talk about it first, if it doesn't work, I don't mind directing it myself!" Pugui said.

"Naturally!" Zhao Yuan nodded, obviously, he was quite confident about Tang Nu.Even if it is Pugui, it cannot be compared with this person.

state.

"Young master, it has been confirmed that a large amount of military supplies and soldiers have entered the Luo family's ghost country. This battle is inevitable." Wu Ke stood in front of Xiao Cheng and said.As the head of the Statistical Investigation Department of the Intelligence Agency of the Commercial Federation, he is now in charge of all the underground forces under Xiao Cheng's command.Originally, Xiao Cheng was interested in Monk Huiyuan, but this monk only wanted to hang around outside instead of staying indoors to do these coordinating tasks.

"There are soldiers and horses, haha, this time, I am really willing to spend my money!" Xiao Cheng chuckled.

"Our spies also found an acquaintance!" Wu Ke spread a secondary portrait in front of Xiao Cheng.

"Tang Nu!" Xiao Cheng recognized this guy with a single glance.

Cui Ang's hardcore confidant!

This guy should be a commanding officer on Hebei Road now, but he actually appeared in Luo's Ghost Country. It seems that he wants to use his rich experience in commanding and fighting against him.

"Quickly gather information, we need their overall military plan, marching route and other information." Xiao Cheng said: "We must be willing to spend money, no matter how much money is spent, as long as we win the battle, we can get it back ten times and a hundred times. "

"I understand!" Wu Ke nodded and said: "There is one more thing, our people found some abnormalities in Bozhou and Sizhou. In these two places, people from the imperial court appeared."

Xiao Cheng sneered: "There is nothing to worry about. We have won this battle. Naturally, someone will take care of those guys who flirted with the court. In this battle, I not only want to win, but also win quickly. I would like to take this as a warning to some people in Bozhou and Sizhou, and don't be half-hearted in doing things. This time, I can't calm my anger with a few words. This time, I want some heads."
