Chapter 208 finally turned against me

Liyang, the Pushe Mansion of the Jianghuai Army is located here. This is the hometown of Du Fuwei in the south of the Yangtze River. He led an army of 100,000 across the Jianghuai and was unstoppable between the Jianghuai and the Huaihe. However, today's Jianghuai Army follows Du Fuwei

As they marched north into Chang'an, they have become completely different from the previous Jianghuai Army. It can be said that today's Jianghuai Army has been faintly divided into two parts. One part is gathered under the command of General Wang Xiongshu, and most of this part is Du Fuwei.

The old camp was loyal to him, while the other part was 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, and the government affairs

But Fugong Tuo was in charge, and he secretly ordered Wang Xiongshu to monitor Fugong Tuo. I think these two people were 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 Xiongshu 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 bright eyes.

When opening and closing, it sparkles with wisdom and is elegant and unrestrained. He is Fu Gongtuo's good friend Zuo Youxian, who is good at magic. When Fu Gongtuo was frightened by Du Fu, he used Zuo Youxian to

After Du Fuwei went to Chang'an, he took over the government affairs and became one of the leaders 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 warfare. As long as we hold the river, we can connect Dou Jiande and Luo to the north.

Art. Even the Turks can. As soon as the time comes, they can send their troops to the Northern Expedition. By this time, I am afraid they have already occupied Chang'an and Luoyang. Du Fuwei can also dominate the world. Now he actually surrendered to Lu Zhaoci. This is good.

Lu Zhaoci can no longer tolerate the Jiangnan Army and wants to destroy 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, apart from 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 placed under Du Fuwei's orders in the fourth year of Wude.

After being captured, he was sent to Chang'an to present himself as a prisoner to Li Yuan. Li Yuan didn't do anything 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 as a commoner. This kind of treatment was better than

Starting from Li Mi, those who were summarily executed by Li Gui were like heaven and earth, but people are never satisfied. Especially politicians. Li Mi was dissatisfied with the low treatment given by Li Yuan and went out of the customs. Li Zitong

Now he 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 guessed that the Jianghuai army had lost its leader, and the situation in Jianghuai must be unstable. He could take this opportunity to go back

Fishing in troubled waters, he gathered his old troops and made a comeback. Li Zitong was a generous man who could win the hearts of the soldiers. If he was allowed to escape, he might really be able to make a comeback. Unfortunately, when Li fled to Lantian Pass, he was unfortunately discovered by the soldiers guarding the pass. He was captured without mercy and was later arrested.

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 looked like a kind old man. No wonder everyone in the Jianghuai army called him Fu Bo. It was not unreasonable.

of.

"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 from Jianghuai is so huge. The court sees this money but cannot get it. An army of one hundred thousand, not to mention an army of one hundred thousand,

It is an army of 200,000. As long as Jianghuai is in hand, it can be raised. Will Lu Zhaoci allow Jianghuai to control the Jianghuai Saltworks forever? There is also a canal that connects the north and the south, and there are no one knows how many ships go between it every day. These

It’s all money! The rice that has been transported by canal is given priority by the Jianghuai Army. Do you think these are not taboos of the emperor? Wake up! Uncle, Lu Zhaoci doesn’t want to endure it anymore. If you don’t resist, you will 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, today is not what it 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 take away his military power! If he is willing, he will follow me to raise an army. If he is not willing, you can do it!" Fugong Tuo 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 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 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, but unfortunately, for

Political things, however, are not acceptable. This is called counterintuitive tactics."

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

"Yes, Zuo will do it right now!" Upon seeing this, Zuo Youxian knew that Fugong Tuo had made up his mind, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he hurriedly left Pushe Mansion.

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

"I've met Uncle Fu." Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong said, cupping their hands: "If I get back to Uncle Fu, the camp has been turned into a mess."

"Is General Wang Xiongxi here?" 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, but why is he ignoring the military affairs now? You go back, I will go find him." Fu Gongtuo was already laughing. Others didn't know, but he

But they knew that this was Zuo Youxian's counter-intentional plan. Wang Xiongshu was not paying attention to military affairs. He was obviously trying to avoid suspicion. Was he trying to express his attitude to Du Fuwei of Chang'an? What a stupid guy.

After thinking about it, I asked the driver to drive the carriage up to Wang Xiong'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 Xiong Xi was not a person who neglected military affairs, but was actually ill. If I had known this, I would have asked the doctor from my house to come over and treat Xiong Xi."

"Uncle, my nephew is not sick, but has 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 Fu Gongtuo.

I know, 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 that's why he acted like this." Wang Xiongshu defended Du Fuwei.

"That's right. Jianghuai is too far away from Chang'an. King Wu doesn't know the situation in Jianghuai there. How about you go back and wait for me to write to King Wu and explain the situation in Jianghuai in detail. Are you

As long as his adopted son is explained clearly, it will be fine." Fugong Tuo sighed deeply and said: "Even though you are a good nephew, you should take care of this military matter for the time being! At that time, King Wu

When we leave Jianghuai, we will let you and I be in charge of military and government affairs. We are both loyal ministers of King Wu. We cannot slack off on government and military affairs and ruin the foundation that King Wu has worked so hard to build!"

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

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

When Fugongyou heard the words, he turned around and saw Wang Xiongshu 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!" Fu Gongtuo's mouth trembled, but he still reached out to take the tiger talisman, and sighed deeply: "My dear nephew, you should get more rest!" After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Outside Wang Xiongshu's house, Fugong Tuo had just walked out, but he saw Zuo Youxian had been waiting beside the carriage for a long time. When he saw the tiger talisman in Fugong Tuo's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he cupped his hands and said: "Such a big thing can be accomplished.

That’s it!”

"Let's go!" There was no trace of joy on Fu Gongtuo's face, and he sighed deeply: "If it is possible, we will persuade Wang Xiongxi to join us! Even if he does not agree, it is better not 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. It is conceivable that once Wang Xiong

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

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

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

He suffered all the abuse from Lu Zhaoci in Chang'an, and then asked his uncle to raise an army. Hey, some of these people were loyal to his uncle, and 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 with a proud look on his face. He also didn't expect that Wang Xiong's tiger talisman could be obtained so easily. What will happen to these warriors who are marching and fighting?

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

"After Fu Bo raised his army, he should quickly proclaim himself emperor, and 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." There was a trace of excitement on Zuo Youxian's face. In his words, he pointed out the country and scolded Fang Qiu. 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 Fugong Tuo'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 his life, death, and plunder are all in his own hands.
