Chapter 258 Liu Wuzhou has ulterior motives
In the north of Bingzhou, Mayi County area.

The manpower arranged by Li Shimin has arrived with many medicinal materials.

The rebels in Mayi County were mainly led by Liu Wuzhou.

It is worth mentioning that this rebel army is protected by the Turks.

Otherwise, the Li family would have eliminated Liu Wuzhou and others long ago.

The person sent by Li Shimin was Tang Jian.

Yes, Tang Jian led the mission.

They were waiting outside Mayi City, waiting for Liu Wuzhou's men to report their return.

On the other side, Liu Wuzhou was eating meat.

And watching, some dancers danced gracefully.

Don’t live too comfortably in this little life.

"rustle."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

And stopped outside the door.

"Lord!"

Someone called out.

"Enter."

Liu Wuzhou said lightly.

Following that, he saw the soldier walking up to Liu Wuzhou in a few steps.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Wuzhou asked calmly.

"Lord, the Li family has sent someone here."

Soldiers report.

"Really, Li family?"

Hearing this, Liu Wuzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes."

The scout nodded quickly.

"Let them come in, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Li's gourd."

Liu Wuzhou kept sneering.

There was friction between the Li family and Liu Wuzhou.

And there are constant small frictions, although there are no major conflicts between them.

But it's definitely not a harmonious relationship.

Therefore, Liu Wuzhou believed that the Li family sent people this time.

Definitely, there is an ulterior motive.

"promise!"

The soldier responded and quickly went to deliver the news.

After a while, Tang Jian brought two people in.

And when he entered the house, he asked the two people to wait outside.

"I have seen it, Your Excellency."

Tang Jian said with a smile, gentle and polite.

"It's interesting. I really didn't expect that people from the Li family would come here one day."

Liu Wuzhou seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Your Majesty, you are serious, we can be considered neighbors."

Tang Jian replied.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Liu Wuzhou replied lightly.

This should not be taken seriously. It seems a bit harsh and has deep meaning.

"Speak directly, Brother Tang, what happened?"

Liu Wuzhou took a sip of tea slowly.

It is worth mentioning that from beginning to end, he never asked anyone to serve Tang Jian tea.

Obviously, Tang Jian is not treated as a guest.

Tang Jian was also aware of this.

However, he didn't say anything.

After all, Tang Jian knew very well that this time he was asking for help.

Therefore, we should lower our posture and not stick to small details.

"Have you heard about the current situation in Sui Dynasty?"

Tang Jian said bluntly.

"Listen."

Liu Wuzhou replied lightly.

"Then if it doesn't work for you, don't you worry?"

Tang Jian asked again.

"What are you worried about? I occupy the northern part of Bingzhou, which is close to the Turks."

"If the Sui army wants to send troops, they must also consider the Turks."

Liu Wuzhou said lightly.

This was his confidence and he was not afraid of the Sui army.

There are Turks as backers.

"Is it possible that you don't know about the great defeat at Yanmen Pass in Turks?"

"Now that the Turks have stabilized, can you get along with them as before?"

Tang Jian smiled slightly and asked two questions.

Hearing this, Liu Wuzhou paused in his movements.

He frowned and looked at Tang Jian calmly.

"If relations with the Turks deteriorate, I will not be so relaxed."

Liu Wuzhou replied lightly.

Tang Jian, on the other hand, heard other meanings from these words.

The Turks seemed to have stabilized and maintained relations with Liu Wuzhou.

This also means that the Turkic Sui Dynasty still had ideas.

"Even if the Turks don't send troops, I can still enter the grassland after my defeat."

Liu Wuzhou continued.

This is why he is so calm.

Even though he knew about the defeat at Sipingshan.

He didn't either, and frowned.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Jian suddenly laughed when he heard this.

"why are you laughing?"

Liu Wuzhou asked with a frown.

"Is it possible that you think that after the Sui Dynasty stabilized the internal situation, it would not send troops to the Turks?"

Tang Jian asked.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Liu Wuzhou frowned.

He really hadn't thought about this.

"Where can you go then?"

Tang Jian continued to ask.

"What do you want to say, just say it."

Liu Wuzhou's expression became much more serious.

This time, he was not as calm as before, and was somewhat moved.

"Right now, dealing with the Sui army head-on is the top priority."

Tang Jian said bluntly.

"The rest of the rebels are integrated together, and they are no match for the Sui army."

"In this case, how can we deal with the Sui army?"

Liu Wuzhou asked with a frown.

“Of course it’s not enough for one person, but how about several people together?”

Tang Jian laughed.

"I understand, you want to contact the Turks through me and reach an alliance?"

Liu Wuzhou reacted instantly.

"Your Excellency, you are really smart."

Tang Jian smiled.

"It's not surprising that you would be like this. I heard that the Li family has launched an army, right?"

Liu Wuzhou asked with narrowed eyes.

"good."

Tang Jian nodded.

"With the capabilities of the Li family, if they can compete with the Sui army, they will never think of uniting with the Turks."

Liu Wuzhou continued.This time, Tang Jian didn't speak.

"Now that you suddenly come to find me, it seems that the Li family is about to face a life-or-death situation."

Liu Wuzhou seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He is not a fool if he can occupy one side.

"good."

After being seen through by the other party, Tang Jian simply admitted it generously.

Liu Wuzhou was a little surprised by the direct admission.

"But even if these are facts."

"But I'm sorry, what I said before is also true."

Tang Jian said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Wuzhou fell into silence for a long time.

"Come on, serve tea!"

After a long time, he ordered outside the house.

Soon, a servant came over and served Tang Jian tea.

From this moment on, Tang Jian knew.

He and Liu Wuzhou can continue talking.

And Liu Wuzhou was also moved.

"What's the benefit of me helping you?"

Liu Wuzhou asked directly.

"The Li family will give you a lot of money."

Tang Jian said bluntly.

"money?"

Liu Wuzhou sneered.

Seeing this, Tang Jian knew that Liu Wuzhou wanted the lion to open his mouth.

"I need some territory, and the Li family must give it to me after it's done."

Liu Wuzhou said solemnly.

At this time, he was no longer polite.

"Even if you know that the Li family is dead, you won't be able to live long?"

Tang Jian asked.

"Yes, at a time of life and death, the Li family doesn't even have this bit of sincerity."

"Then, what else to talk about?"

Liu Wuzhou asked back.

"Okay, but I need to discuss this with Mr. Tang before we discuss anything."

Tang Jian replied.

"Okay, in that case, you can stay here for a while."

After saying that, Liu Wuzhou stood up and left.

"This guy is not easy to deal with, and he is not just greedy."

Tang Jian looked at Liu Wuzhou's back and murmured.

But in the end, he still sent someone to deliver the letter to Taiyuan.

Of course, the Li family would never give this territory away.

But for now, it is better to reach an agreement with Liu Wuzhou first.

Let’s get in touch with the Turks first, then talk about it.

As for the rest, we can talk about it later.

After Liu Wuzhou left, Tang Jian didn't think about continuing to sit.

He left the house and went to his residence.

As for Liu Wuzhou, it was the first time.

Summoned, his men came to consult.

The general Song Jingang and the counselor Tian Bo were all present.

"See your lord."

Everyone saluted Liu Wuzhou.

"Exemption."

Liu Wuzhou nodded slightly.

After everyone sat down, he told everything that had happened.

"There is no problem with my lord's request. Even if the Li family doesn't want to take it, they can only take it out."

Tian Bo said after listening.

"Yes, after all, the Sui army is attacking the Li family now."

Song Jingang agreed.

"If the alliance is feasible, this can also pave the way for the elimination of the Li family in the future."

Liu Wuzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yes, even at this time.

Liu Wuzhou's mind was full of plans for his great future.

This is also why the rebel alliance is unreliable.

Everyone has their own little thoughts.

"My lord, Gao Ming!"

Song Jingang quickly bowed his hands and flattered him.

But at this time, Tian Bo frowned.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Liu Wuzhou asked curiously.

"My lord, the idea is good, but I am afraid of a deeper alliance between the Turks and the Li family."

Tian Bo said.

"No, how can the Turks trust the Li family without reservation?"

Song Jingang is confident about this.

One is a noble family and the other is a rebel.

The former has the support of many aristocratic families.

The latter was born into poverty.

No matter how you look at it, the latter is easier to control.

If not for this consideration, how could Liu Wuzhou agree to the Li family?

"My lord, what you said is true."

Tian Bo was also relieved, and even felt that he was too worried.

"Okay, let's wait for the news."

Liu Wuzhou stood up.

Song Jingang and Tian Bo retreated at the same time.

At this time, there was a border town in Bingzhou.

The person guarding this place is none other than Wang Junlang.

After he arrived with his army, he immediately began to arrange city defense.

During this period, information about the Sui army also came quickly.

When Wang Junlang heard the news, his expression suddenly changed.

Then he laughed again.

"It seems that Wei Wensheng has lost his temper!"

Wang Junlang said.

"General, why did you say that?"

The deputy general beside him asked quickly.

"Wei Wensheng has no food and grass, and he marches immediately. Isn't this a sign of superiority?"

Wang Junlang explained.

"What does the general mean?"

The deputy general became a little excited.

"Wait, wait for Wei Wensheng's soldiers and horses to arrive in front and behind the city, and send a large army around to cut off their retreat."

Wang Junlang thought for a moment and then gave the order directly.

"General, do you plan to swallow Wei Wensheng's troops directly?"

The lieutenant asked hastily.

"It goes without saying that now the Li family needs a big victory to cheer them up!"

Wang Junlang said bluntly.

"promise!"

The deputy general didn't ask any more questions and did as he was told immediately.

After the deputy general left, Wang Junlang also wrote a letter immediately.

Tell Liu Hongji in another city the truth about the information he learned.

Although they guard different cities, they can support each other.

It can be said that a situation of mutual defense is formed.

Therefore, it is still necessary to inform Liu Hongji about Wang Junlang’s actions.
