Chapter 93 Tan Zhen: I Have a Plan to Destroy the Enemy (Read More!)

...

"That thief Li Cun wants to separate the south of the river?! And Empress Maode?!"

After listening to Li Cun's surrender conditions conveyed by Tian Maang, Yao Pingzhong, who was in a meeting at the Xuanfu Department, immediately sarcastically said: "Official Tian made a mistake, and the thief must have asked for the old coins."

The Yao family's ancestral home was in Sanyuan, Shaanxi. Since Yao Si, the Yao family has served as generals of the Western Army for generations.

This also made the Yao family one of the few great general families in the Western Army.

Yao Gu, the current head of the Yao family, is almost equivalent to the existence of a teacher in the Western Army, and is one of the oldest famous generals in the Western Army.

The most outstanding young general among the younger generation of the Yao family is Yao Pingzhong.

Yao Pingzhong became an orphan since he was a child, and his uncle Yao Gu raised him as his own son.

Yao Ping Zhongshi fought with the Xixia army at the Zangdi River, wiped out and captured many enemies, and became famous in the first battle. Heroes in Guanzhong praised him highly and called him "Little Taiwei".

Now Yao Pingzhong seems to have become the No.1 among the young generals of the Western Army. Liu Guangshi, Zhe Yanwen, Zhong Lie and others who are similar to Yao Pingzhong are not as dazzling as Yao Pingzhong.

But this also formed Yao Pingzhong's more arrogant character.

Yao Gu's biological son, Yao Youzhong, grabbed Yao Pingzhong and signaled Yao Pingzhong not to talk nonsense.

Yao Pingzhong ignored him, and said loudly: "This thief is extremely arrogant, ceding land, marrying, and bullying me that there is no one in Song Dynasty?!"

As soon as Yao Pingzhong's words came out, many young generals immediately echoed them, and they called for a fight one after another, wanting to take Li Cun's head off.

In fact, it's not to blame Yao Pingzhong and others for being angry, it's because Li Cun's conditions are too irritating.

There were only 24 roads in Zhao Song, Li Cun opened his mouth and asked for eight roads, which is almost equivalent to asking for one-third of Zhao Song's territory.

However, Li Cun also asked for a marriage condition.

Forget about getting married, Li Cun chose Zhao Fujin, the most beautiful imperial concubine of Zhao Song.

The key point is that Zhao Fujin married Cai Jing's fifth son Xuanhedian Daizhi Cai Wei two years ago, and had two sons.

As a bloody soldier, how could he endure such humiliating conditions?

Tong Guan glanced at Yao Pingzhong and remained silent.

Tong Guan doesn't like Yao Pingzhong, he thinks he is too ostentatious, and from Tong Guan's old-fashioned point of view, if things go well, Yao Pingzhong is fine, but if he encounters adversity, Yao Pingzhong might make a big fuss .

More importantly, don't you want to send troops to fight Li Cun as Tong Guan?But what about the boat?Is it possible to rely on the hundred and ten small sampans brought from the Gaoyou army to fight Li Cun, who has thousands of large ships?
Tong Guan didn't lift his head and said: "I allow you to call for a fight, you can choose the personnel in the army, go and cut off Li Cun's head, whoever can do this, I will upgrade him twenty levels in a row. "

As soon as Tong Guan's voice fell, Yao Pingzhong and the others fell silent.

——It’s not that Yao Pingzhong and the others don’t want the opportunity to advance to [-] levels in a row, nor are they afraid of fighting. The problem is that they can’t cross the Yangtze River. How can they seize this opportunity?

Only then did Tong Guan raise his head, look at Yao Pingzhong and criticize: "When you are timid, you should not only rely on courage. Generals should use courage as the foundation and act wisely; but knowing courage is like a man's enemy."

Yao Pingzhong was so scolded by Tong Guan that his veins jumped, and he was about to have an attack.

Fortunately, Yao Youzhong grabbed Yao Pingzhong's arm in time, and reminded Yao Pingzhong with his eyes: "Father doesn't dare to provoke Shumi Tong, so you must not be reckless."

Only then did Yao Pingzhong suppress his anger, and stood aside with his hands tied.

At the beginning, when he wrote the surrender letter to Fang La and Li Cun, Tong Guan actually had a little luck. He felt that as long as one of Li Cun and Fang La accepted the imperial court's recruitment, then he could control the recruited one. Go and fight the one who was not recruited, and the rebellion in the Liangzhe area can be easily resolved.

Who would have thought that the person sent to Fang La's place who is said to be acquainted with Fang La, just arrived at Fang La's place not long ago, and it was reported that the man was skinned and cramped by Fang La, and then thrown into an oil pan and fried into charcoal. Fang La also said, who If you dare to persuade him to accept the recruitment, this is his fate.

Fang La's attack on the envoys sent by Zhao Song was so fierce, which shows that Fang La is quite resentful towards Zhao Song. It seems that there is little hope of recruiting Fang La.

On Li Cun's side, although he didn't kill the envoys he sent, he didn't have the slightest sincerity to accept the imperial court's offer.

This made it very difficult for Tong Guan.

At this time, Tian Maung said again: "The villain still has a secret report, please allow the villain to report it alone."

When Tong Guan heard this, his heart couldn't help moving, and then let everyone else go down, leaving only one aide called "Li Zongzhen".

—— Li Zongzhen is over 70 years old and has followed Tong Guan for many years, and he is regarded as Tong Guan's chief aide.

Tian Maang didn't ask Tong Guan to drive Li Zongzhen away, but happily took out the wax pill secret letter that Yuwen Huangzhong had given him, and said: "I am on this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. One person, he said his name was Yuwen Huangzhong, and he was in charge of the Xianmo Pavilion under Xuanxiang's tent, so the villain must hand over the wax pill secret letter to Xuanxiang."

When Tong Guan heard that Yuwen Huangzhong asked Tian Maang to bring back the Wawan secret letter, he glanced at Li Zongzhen calmly.

Li Zongzhen nodded incredulously.

Seeing this, Tong Guan asked Tian Maang to bring the wax pill secret letter, and went down to rest.

Tong Guan opened the secret letter and saw that there was not a word in it.

Tong Guan immediately ordered someone to fetch a basin of water and put the secret letter into it.

But to Tong Guan's surprise, there was still no words on the letter, not only that, the letter paper suddenly disappeared.

Tong Guan hurriedly reached out to fish for it.

But Li Zongzhen stopped him.

Tong Guan looked at Li Zongzhen puzzled.

Li Zongzhen said: "This paper is specially made from a kind of brown algae that grows on the rocks on the shore, and it will melt when it meets water."

Tong Guan frowned: "What is the meaning of Yuwen Huangzhong sending back this letter?"

Li Zongzhen said very firmly: "Yuwen Daizhi is telling Xuanxiang that this letter is true, and telling Xuanxiang that he is still loyal to the Song Dynasty and Xuanxiang. Xuanxiang can rest assured of him."

Tong Guan thought for a while and understood.

Yuwen Huangzhong has been away for more than four months, and he really needs to prove whether he is still loyal to Zhao Song.

Tong Guan said: "This man, Shu Tong, is loyal and courageous, and he will not be double-faced."

Li Zongzhen nodded in agreement: "Yuwen Daizhi can think of this method, he must have racked his brains, it can't be done on a temporary basis, Yixin also."

Tong Guan asked: "Then how can I make use of this matter?"

Li Zongzhen said: "It is advisable to send people to contact Yuwen Daizhi first, and then plan it slowly."

Tong Guan asked: "The appearance of the field?"

Li Zongzhen shook his head: "This person can't be trusted."

Tong Guan nodded, agreeing with Li Zongzhen's opinion.

Li Zongzhen said again: "This is a big matter. You should use a loyal and brave man to follow the envoy to discuss the matter of recruiting and surrendering, wait for the opportunity to contact Yuwen Daizhi, and then exchange news with Yuwen Daizhi by cutting the stock and collecting the secret tape."

Tong Guan felt that Li Zongzhen's proposal was sound, so he secretly discussed the details with Li Zongzhen.

Not long after, the soldiers came to report that Tan Zhen asked to see him.

Tong Guan first asked Li Zongzhen to go down to arrange a secret meeting with Yuwen Huangzhong, and then called Tan Zhen in.

As soon as Tan Zhen entered Tong Guan's tent in the Chinese army, he was the first to catch everyone's attention: "Private Tong, I have a plan to defeat the enemy!"
