Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 829

However, in Li Ke's eyes, his respect was naked provocation and disregard, and more humiliation lay in it.

bang~

Li Ke had drunk two taels of wine now, and because he was too young to drink, his face was already flushed, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

He punched heavily on the wine table, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The bully is too much, the thief dares to bully me, Ruo Si!!!"

All of a sudden, Qiu Heng and Zhang Dingjiang at the same table looked at each other in dismay, and finally unified their eyes and focused on Guo Ye.

Guo Ye shook his head after looking at them, but his face also became gloomy.

Liang Shidao, you are really lawless, you are making a fuss, and you don't even give the slightest bit of face, don't you even want to put it off?Damn it, you're going to completely freeze up, forcing the king of Shu to have no face to stay in Shuzhou.

At this moment, Liu Zhenxuan, who was in charge of monitoring the whereabouts of the other captains of the other five houses, ran in again, and shouted at Guo Ye: "Report to Mr. Shi, after Yu Kui led the other captains of the five houses to leave, again, Then head towards the direction of Shu Prefecture Governor's Mansion."

hiss……

Qiu Heng, Zhang Dingjiang and the others once again picked up the cold wind. Didn't they say that they should go back to rest earlier because they are too drunk?Why did he go to the governor's mansion to see Liang Shidao again?

This group of people is going to completely swell the face of His Royal Highness the King of Shu tonight.

"Ugh……"

Li Ke suddenly became sluggish, sighed, waved his hands and said in a disinterested manner: "Forget it, it seems that they are determined to make a nest with Liang Shidao, and don't take this king, the governor of Shuzhou, seriously." Yes. Liang Shidao, Liang Shidao, you want to use this king, the governor, as a display, and completely drive this king out of Shuzhou!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Ke waved to the three of Zhang Dingjiang, and said with a wry smile: "Captain Xu, Captain Zhang, and Captain Qiu, the three of you should return to your respective state capitals together tomorrow."

After explaining, Li Ke didn't look at the crowd again, turned around weakly and wanted to leave and walk into the inner hall.

Guo Ye watched Li Ke turn around and take a few steps, Xiao Suo's back showed helplessness, and secretly thought, the youthful heart is not enough to nourish Qi.

Suddenly, he yelled at Li Ke: "Your Highness, stay awhile. Could it be that you gave up so quickly?"

Li Ke froze and did not turn around, but stopped in his tracks, and sighed a little dejectedly: "Guo Changshi, can I do it if I don't admit defeat? You have also seen that the current captain of the Jiudi Prefecture, Zhechong, is The king can only use his arms to point at the three families. The captains of the other six prefectures are all perfunctory to the king, and they are full of obedience and disobedience. What capital do you think the king has to fight with Liang Shidao? How can the arm twist the thigh? This is not self-inflicted Is the humiliation just a joke?"

Guo Ye said loudly: "Dou, why don't you fight? It's because Your Highness, you are an aristocrat, you are a prince of the royal family, and it's because you are the governor of Shuzhou who is ordered to serve as a vassal. If you are in such a small Liang Shidao The local governor showed timidity in front of you, how will the emperor treat you in the future? You let the prince who is far away in Chang'an City, the king of Wei and the others..."

The following words were too explicit, and he didn't say them.The implication is that you, Li Ke, can't even compete with a small local governor. Why do you have to compete with the crown prince and the king of Wei in the future?

After hearing this, Li Ke's shoulders couldn't help trembling, he turned around slowly, looked at Guo Ye with full eyes, and asked: "In Guo Changshi's opinion, this king and Liang Shidao can still fight? But you can also see the attitude of Yu Kui and the other six Zhechong Captains today, they are determined to form a group with the Liang thief. It will be of no avail even if this king lobbyes in every possible way!"

Guo Ye smiled lightly and shook his head, and said, "Your Highness, it's their business that they hold each other together. Isn't Liang Shidao just hoping that you will retreat in spite of difficulties? Since you can't let the six Zhechong captains be used by you, We simply no longer have high hopes for them. He Liang Shidao has his femme fatale tricks, and we also have our ladders to pass through the wall. Isn't it just a trick, who wouldn't?"

"what?"

At this time, Li Ke's eyes were shining brightly, and he ran to Guo Ye quickly, and shouted excitedly: "Guo Changshi, don't you think you have a countermeasure?"

Guo Ye smiled confidently: "Your Highness, if you come out to mess around, who doesn't prepare some self-defense tactics? Hehe, since Liang Shidao doesn't want us to gain a foothold in Shuzhou, then I can only use my trump card. "

"Yeah? You still have a hole card? Guo Changshi, Guo Changshi, it's hard for you to hide it from me. You said why didn't you tell me that you had a hole card and make me feel at ease?"

Li Ke smiled bitterly, although he was complaining about Guo Ye's concealment, but the excitement and joy in his brows could not be concealed.

Guo Ye cupped his hands and said apologetically, "Your Highness, the reason I kept it from you is because if I use this hole card, it will definitely involve a lot of people. I was thinking at the time, if I can use it, I try not to use it as much as possible."

Li Ke said: "In the current situation, Guo Changshi, do you think you can still use it? Tell me quickly, what is your hole card? How to deal with Liang Shidao and other Captain Zhechong of the Six Mansions?"

Guo Ye raised his hand, signaled Li Ke to be calm, turned his head and said to Zhang Dingjiang and Qiu Heng, "You three, you will return to your respective state capitals tomorrow according to the plan. But you must remember that in the following days, no matter you No matter what happens in the respective prefectures and counties, you must not use government soldiers to suppress the people, and you must not shoot bows and crossbows at the people, and use swords and guns."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

After hearing this, the three of them were astonished, and they all asked, "Guo Changshi, what are you going to do?"

Guo Ye sneered and said: "You will know in a few days, you don't need to ask more, just do what I say. Of course, this kind of chaos will not last long. There is only one purpose, to establish the King of Shu The prestige of the governor of the state completely made Liang Shidao step down from the governor of Shuzhou, and let him roll out of Shuzhou. Then, everything will disappear."

"Oh……"

Since Guo Ye said so, the three of them didn't ask any more questions, and nodded their heads in understanding.

On the contrary, Li Ke heard Guo Ye speak so seriously, and couldn't help asking nervously: "Guo Changshi, no, nothing will happen, right?"

Guo Ye gave him a consoling look, patted his chest and said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have everything. I dared to enter Tubo Forte with [-] lone troops, and I even dared to kill Duo Chiluo, the Tubo prince , I will be afraid of Liang Shidao's assassination? You don't need to be nervous, Your Highness, I have already made arrangements."

After finishing speaking, he shouted at Liu Zhenxuan who was standing beside him: "Lieutenant Liu, run for me!"

shuh~

Liu Zhenxuan stood up straight, clasped his fists and lowered his head, and said, "Master Chang Shi, please give me instructions!"

All of a sudden, Guo Ye showed a forceful aura, and he confessed loudly, "Take a few people with you, and run for me to see the boss of the Cao Gang to see the boss of Sun."

Liu Zhenxuan has been to Jiangxin Island and met Sun Mingyan, so he is the perfect candidate to deliver the letter.

Liu Zhenxuan hummed, and continued to wait for Guo Ye's next words.

Guo Ye said again: "When you see Sun Mingyan, you say that the time is ripe and you can act. Tell him, three days later, I will never see a passing ship on the Minjiang River in the middle of Sichuan. Whether it is Merchant ships, cargo ships, or passenger ships and fishing boats, not a single one is allowed to sail on the Minjiang River.”

"what?"

Liu Zhenxuan was startled, looked at Guo Ye with trembling eyes, and shouted in a daze: "My lord, are you trying to block the Minjiang River?"

Guo Ye resolutely said coldly: "That's right, seal the river! Not only do I want to seal the river, but I also want to smash people's jobs and cut off people's wealth. Humph, I can't blame me. The instigator is not Lao Tzu, everything is Shuzhou Governor Liang Shidao What a crime!!!"

"The general obeys orders! Hurry up and deliver the news to Mr. Sun in one day and one night."

"Go, go, go back!"

"Here!"

"Liang Shidao, because of you alone, hundreds of thousands of civilians, fishermen and merchants have lost their livelihoods and lost their money. How can you break this dead game?"

Chapter 660

One day later, Liu Zhenxuan sent Guo Ye's message to Sun Mingyan as scheduled.

After receiving Guo Ye's message, Sun Mingyan did not dare to slack off in the slightest.On the same day, Guo Ye's oral message was conveyed to the various branches of the Cao Gang in the Minjiang River Basin, intact.

Two days later, the various sub-rudders of the Cao Gang in the Minjiang River Basin began to mobilize, and carried out Guo Ye's order in an orderly manner.

Resolutely implement and carry through to the end.

Three days later, there was no longer a boat cruising in the Minjiang River Basin. It was a vast expanse of white water, with occasional waterfowl passing by, and even a small fishing boat could not be seen.

Soon, the news that the Cao Gang blocked the Minjiang River spread like wildfire, and for a while, there was an uproar.

The common people, fishermen and business travelers who rely on the Minjiang River for their livelihoods and earn money, suddenly felt like mourning for their concubines. I don't know why the Cao Gang suddenly took this action.

The Cao Gang, with hundreds of thousands of disciples, has been occupying the Minjiang River and controlling all the rivers, lakes and seas in Central Shu, the largest gang in Central Sichuan.
