Qiyang. Jianghuai Army Pushe Mansion is located in Zhongli. This is Jiangnan Du Fucong's guess. Back then, he led an army of 100,000 across the Jianghuai River and was unstoppable between the Jianghuai River. But now the Jianghuai Army follows Du Fuwei's march north.

After entering Chang'an, the Jianghuai Army has become completely different from the previous Jianghuai Army. It can be said that today's Jianghuai Army has been vaguely divided into two parts. One part is gathered under the command of General Wang Xiongxi, and this part is mostly Du Fuwei's old camp.

, loyal to him, while the other part gathered under the command of Fu Bo Fu Gong Tuo. Since Du Fuwei went north to Chang'an, he divided the Jianghuai Army into two parts. The military was in charge of Wang Xiongxi, while the government affairs were in charge.

Fugong Tuo was in charge, and he secretly ordered Wang Xiongshu to monitor Fugong Tuo. These two people were originally friends in need, but now they have become like this. From this, we can see how fragile personal feelings are in the face of politics.

"Wang Xiongdan has returned with his troops. We are about to arrive in Liyang. Brother, are you ready?" In the mansion of Fugong Tuo, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest in feathered clothes. He had a handsome face, fair skin, and his eyes were

His eyes were shining with wisdom when he opened and closed them, and he was charming and unrestrained. He was Fugong Tuo's good friend Zuo Youxian, who was good at magic. When Fugong Tuo was frightened by Du Fu, he used Zuo You to

After Du Fuwei went to Chang'an, he took over the government affairs and became the leader of the Jianghuai Army.

one.

"Hey! If Lu Zhaoci hadn't bullied others too much, I wouldn't have done such a thing." Fugong Tuo sighed deeply and said, "Once we have trouble here, it will be difficult for Du Xiandi.

.Lu Zhaoci is not an ordinary person, he is cruel and ruthless, and Du Xiandi's life is in danger!"

Zuo Youxian sneered and said: "Du Fuwei is looking for death. He has a huge Jianghuai foundation and does not take care of it. He becomes the overlord. Even when Li Jing swept across Jiangnan, he joined forces with Xiao Xian and others to occupy Jiangnan. Li Jing also

It is impossible to occupy the south of the Yangtze River so smoothly. Our Jianghuai army is so powerful. We can even defeat Xiao Xian and rule half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, the Tang army will not be as good as us in water battles. As long as we hold the river, we can build a solid foundation in the north.

, Luo Yi, and even the Turks can do it. As soon as the time comes, they can send their troops to the Northern Expedition. By this time, they may have already occupied Chang'an and Luoyang. Du Fuwei can also dominate the world. Now he actually surrendered to Lu Zhaoci. This is great.

Lu Zhaoci can no longer tolerate the Jiangnan Army and wants to wipe out the Jianghuai Army. He himself has become a caged bird. How can he fly out of the pass? Is it possible to imitate Li Zitong?"

Of course Fugong Tuo understood Li Zitong. At that time, besides Du Fuwei, there was another person who was under house arrest in Chang'an, and that was Li Zitong, the emperor of Wu at that time. Li Zitong was also under Du Fu's rule in the fourth year of Wude.

After Wei was captured, he was sent to Chang'an to present himself as a prisoner to Li Yuan. Li Yuan did not make it difficult for him. He gave him a house in Chang'an and arranged for a few servants to take care of his daily life, so that he could live a well-off life like a commoner.

Compared with Li Mi, the treatment of those Li Gui who were summarily executed was as good as heaven on earth, but people are never satisfied, especially politicians. Li Mi was dissatisfied with the low treatment given by Li Yuan and left the country.

Li Zitong is also very dissatisfied with the current situation, and has been waiting for an opportunity to follow Li Mi's old path. Now seeing Du Fuwei in Chang'an, Li Zitong expected that without the leader of the Jianghuai army, the situation in Jianghuai must be unstable. He could take advantage of it

This is a good opportunity to go back and fish in troubled waters and gather his old troops to make a comeback. Li Zitong is a generous man who can win the hearts of the soldiers. If he is allowed to escape, he may really be able to make a comeback. Unfortunately, when Li fled to Lantian Pass, he was unfortunately discovered by the soldiers guarding the pass and was captured.

Later, he was escorted back to Chang'an. Li Yuan showed no mercy this time and gave Li Zitong the same fate as Li Mi.

"Of the 100,000 Jianghuai army, I can only control 30,000. The rest are in the hands of Wang Xiongxi. If you want to send troops, you must need Wang Xiongxi's 70,000 army. This makes me very embarrassed!

"Fu Gongtuo sighed deeply, with a hint of regret on his loyal face.

Judging from his appearance, he really does look like a kind old man. It is no wonder that everyone in the Jianghuai Army calls him Assistant Uncle. It is not without reason.

"In this world, either you die or I live. Lu Zhaoci obviously wants Du Fuwei's life, and I'm afraid your life is also in his plan. The Jianghuai Army has a total of one hundred thousand, this huge force

But it is not in the hands of the court. Do you think Lu Zhaoci can feel at ease? The salt tax in Jianghuai is so huge. The court sees this money but cannot get it. One hundred thousand troops. Not to mention one hundred thousand troops.

Even an army of 200,000 people can be raised as long as Jianghuai is in hand. Will Lu Zhaoci allow Jiang Bao to control the Jianghuai salt field forever? There is also a canal that connects the north and the south. There are no one knows how many ships come and go on it every day.

These are all money! The rice that has been transported by canal is given priority to the Jianghuai Army, and so on. Do you think these are not taboos of the emperor? Wake up! Uncle, Lu Zhaoci doesn’t want to endure it for a long time. If he doesn’t resist, then it will be

die.".

"But this Wang Xiongxi is also my nephew! It would be very difficult for him to follow me in raising an army!" Fugong Tuo sighed deeply.

"Then let him die." Zuo Youxian said without hesitation: "Uncle, you are not what you used to be. Your life is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Jianghuai Army. How can you give up because of a little family affection?

Great cause."

"Forget it! Since you said so, then find a way to get his Yi Xun book and show it in detail, saying that Zhuoshan has a different body." Liu Zhi! If he is willing, he will follow me to raise an army. If he is not willing,

Fu Yibei will figure it out!" Fu Gongtuo quickly made up his mind.

"Hey, uncle, don't worry, Zuo has already prepared it. Uncle, please take a look." A strange look appeared on Zuo Youxian's face, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to

Fu Gongtuo.

Fu Gongtuo took it over curiously, and when he took a closer look, he saw that it said Wang Xiong had two intentions, but his tone was Du Fuwei's.

"This handwriting?" Fugong Tuo looked at the letter in his hand, and his expression suddenly changed. He saw that the handwriting on it was not that of Zuo Youxian, but that of Du Fuwei from far away in Chang'an.

"This is Du Fuwei's handwriting. Zuo Youxian said proudly: "He has exchanged a lot of letters with his uncle, and it is very easy to get his handwriting. This Wang Xiongxi is very powerful in fighting. Unfortunately, for politics,

But it doesn't work. This trick is called countermeasures.

"A counterintuitive plan? Maybe it can work." Fugong Tuo nodded and said, "Then send this letter!"

"Yes, Zuo will do it now!" Seeing this, Zuo Youxian knew that Fugong Tuo had made up his mind. A proud look appeared on his face and he hurried out of Pushe Mansion.

Two days later, Fugong Tuo was handling political affairs in the Liyang government office. Suddenly he saw General Feng Huiliang and her husband Chen Zhengtong barging in. His expression suddenly changed and he asked nervously: "Why are the two generals here?"

"I saw Fu Bo Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong cupping their hands and saying, "When I get back to Fu Bo, the camp has been turned into a mess."

"Where is General Wang Xiong?" Fugong Tuo was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly.

"The general has not come to inspect military affairs for two days." Feng Huiliang replied quickly.

"What's going on? King Wu handed over the military affairs to him. Why is he ignoring the military affairs now? You go back, I went to find him, Fu Gongtuo, and I was already laughing.

Others didn't know, but he knew that this was Zuo Youxian's counterintuitive plan. Wang Xiongshu was ignoring military affairs. He was obviously trying to avoid suspicion. Was he expressing his attitude to Du Fuwei of Chang'an?

What a stupid guy. After thinking about it, he asked the driver to drive the carriage up to Wang Xiongshu's mansion in Liyangbei.

"Uncle!"

In Wang Xiongxi's bedroom, Fu Gongtuo looked at this man in his early thirties in surprise. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken, as if he was suffering from some disease. He knew why Wang Xiongxi looked like this.

, a trace of regret flashed in his heart, but soon, Jiuxiao Yunwai, who was abandoned by the great cause he was about to achieve, showed a kind smile on his face. He stepped forward and took Wang Xiongxi's right hand, sighing: "I

I knew that Xiongxi was not a person who neglected military affairs. It turned out that he was ill. If I had known this, I would have asked the doctor in my house to come over and treat Xiongxi."

"My nephew is not sick, but he is suffering from a heart problem." Wang Xiongshu showed a look of grievance on his face. He took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to our Gongtuo. The Fugongtuo knew him.

, this letter is exactly the one Zuo Youxian showed to him at the beginning.

"This, this, what is said above?" Fu Gongtuo pretended to be shocked, looked at the letter in his hand, looked at Wang Xiong in surprise, and said: "My dear nephew, this is simply a slander! How could the manager do this?

Do you believe this?"

"I think my adoptive father didn't know the situation here in Chang'an, so he listened to the rumors and acted like this. Wang Xiongdan defended Du Fuwei and said, "That's right. Jianghuai is too far away from Chang'an. King Wu

I don’t know the situation of Jianghuai over there, so why don’t you go back and let me write to King Wu and explain the situation of Jianghuai in detail. You are his adopted son, so as long as you explain clearly, that’s all." Fugong Tuo

He sighed deeply and said: "Even though you are a good nephew, you should still take care of the military affairs for the time being! When King Wu left Jiang, he asked you and me to take charge of military and government affairs. You

Both of us are loyal ministers of the King of Wu. We cannot neglect government and military affairs and ruin the foundation that the King of Wu has worked so hard to create!"

"Haha, what are you afraid of when your uncle is here? Uncle, you should also take care of the military affairs!" A wry smile appeared on Wang Xiongshu's face. If possible, he would rather take care of it himself.

Military affairs, but it is not allowed at this time. If you are still in charge of military affairs, what should you do when you meet your adoptive father in the future?

"But before King Wu left, he wanted you and me to separate the military and political affairs." Fu Gongtuo showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and after a while he sighed and said: "Since my nephew asks so, I will give you a slap for the time being.

That's it for military affairs. After King Wu replies, you will be in charge of military affairs! You can rest in peace!" After saying that, he sighed and prepared to walk out.

"Uncle, take this," Wang Xiongdan said suddenly from behind.

When Fugongyou heard the words, he turned around and saw Wang Xiongxuan holding something in his right hand. It was shaped like a tiger, which was the most precious tiger talisman in the army. Fugongyou's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said: "I

I just want to help you take charge of the military, so I don’t need this tiger talisman."

"Without this tiger talisman, Uncle Fu cannot mobilize the army, nor can he command the 100,000 Jianghuai troops. Although Uncle Fu has always had prestige in the army, the army has its own rules. Prestige alone is not enough, or

I need this." Wang Xiongshu explained.

"Okay!" The corner of Fu Gongtuo's mouth trembled. He still reached out and took out the tiger talisman, and sighed deeply. "My dear nephew, please take more rest!" After saying that, everyone praised the room.

Outside Wang Xiong's house, Fu Gong was spreading a net. When the net came out, he saw Zuo Youxian had been waiting beside the carriage for a long time. When he saw the tiger talisman in Fu Gong Tuo's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up and he cupped his hands and said: "Such a big event.

It can be done!”

"Let's go!" There was no trace of joy on Fu Gongtuo's face, and he sighed deeply: "If possible, persuade Wang Xiongdan to join our army! Even if he doesn't accept the offer, we still don't want to kill him."

"This? Yes!" Zuo Youxian nodded after hearing this. Some things are not just what you want. Zuo Youxian was amused by Fugong Tuo's kindness. As you can imagine, once Wang Xiong

After Xi knew that he had fallen into a trap, and it was Fugong Tuo's scheme, would he still sacrifice his life for Fugong Tuo? That is impossible. If he doesn't take the opportunity to rebel against you, Fugong Tuo, it's a good thing.

"Brother Zuo, what should we do now?" The two got on the carriage, and Fugong Tuo asked again.

"Rumors, estrangement, this time the estrangement is between the Jianghuai Army." Zuo Youxian's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he said proudly: "Write a letter again in Du Fuwei's handwriting. Just say

He suffered all the abuse from Lu Zhaoci in Chang'an. Then he asked his uncle to raise an army. Hey, some of these people were loyal to his uncle, but some were loyal to Du Fuwei. No matter who they were loyal to, as long as they were fighting against Lu

If I follow my words, I will follow my uncle to raise troops. What's more, with this tiger talisman in hand, one hundred thousand Jianghuai troops will have to bow their heads and obey orders."

"Not bad." Fugong Tuo nodded after hearing this. Looking at the tiger talisman in his hand, a look of pride appeared on his face. He also did not expect that Wang Xiong's tiger talisman could be obtained so easily. In the end, these warriors who are marching and fighting...

It's a bit off. Playing tricks won't work after all.

"After Fu Bo raises the army, he should quickly proclaim himself emperor. Then send 30,000 troops directly to the Lujiang River. At the very least, Gan Chong should be blocked within the Lujiang River, and the Tang army should not be allowed to go south one by one. The remaining army should occupy the south of the Yangtze River.

Capture half of the river." A hint of excitement appeared on Zuo Youxian's face. In his words, he pointed out the country and criticized the way, he was very heroic, as if he was a general on the battlefield, commanding thousands of troops.

It stretches between heaven and earth, invincible, and no one can stop it.

"Proclaim yourself emperor?" There was a hint of hesitation on Fu Gongtuo's face, and a hint of fanaticism. There is only one supreme person in the world, and the power is supreme. He enjoys everything in time, and life, death, and plunder are all in his own hands.

.But the road of being an emperor is not easy. I have not seen that since the time of Yang Guang, there have been several people in the world who have been called emperors and kings. However, in the end, they all disappeared and almost all of them disappeared.

One person who had a good end was the legendary Emperor Longwu. Not long ago, he also fell seriously ill and died due to acclimatization. Is this exactly acclimatization? There are many smart people in the world who have seen the mystery of this.

But no one dares to say that Emperor Wude used the same method to execute the former Emperor Yining of Sui Dynasty! This is retribution...
