Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth encounter

When Li Chongjiu mentioned the word Li Mi, all three of them thought a little.

Su Suyan said: "If Li Mi seizes the Eastern Capital, then Dou Jiande and Li Yuandu regard Wei Duke as the lord of the world. This is well known. Now that we are against the Sui Dynasty, we can certainly help Wei Duke."

"This is a bad saying. The Eastern Capital is located in the world and has great features. How can we defend ourselves? If we talk about the kingly and domineering place, where can we get Guanzhong?" Lu Ziqian said a great truth, showing his insight into the situation in the world.

Su Suyan said: "Mr. Lu should not say that. Only by doing things happen because of people. Where can we do things happen because of the place? Didn't we hear that the ancients said that there is virtue but not danger?"

Lu Ziqian sneered and said, "It's not about virtue? Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, who was kind to him. Is this called virtue?"

Wen Yanbo said immediately: "The court is unrighteous, and the world is boiling. It has risen up. Unfortunately, King Bo from Shandong, Gao Shida from Hebei, and Geqian from Bo, and Bohai from Bo, only Duke Wei started to set off Wagang for only a few thousand people. After conquering Liyang Cang, Hebei, he received 200,000 people. After attacking Luo Cang, he received 200,000 people. Now, he has Shandong rebels, Mengrang, Hao Xiaode, and Wang Deren, all surrendered, with 500,000 soldiers. What's more, Li Mi's generation of soldiers is enough to command heroes, and his power is not something that Li Yuan can compete for."

Wen Yanbo also hesitated for a while and said these impartial words.

Lu Ziqian glanced at Wen Yanbo and smiled and said, "Who did Wen Sima say this? I heard that Mr. Tang valued his younger brother Wen Dayou very much and entrusted his second son Shimin to him. Ling Brother Daya and Brother Daya share the secret. And whether to think about them twice?"

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Why did Mr. Lu say this? I'm just talking about it."

Lu Ziqian met the other Zhao and Gao, and thought to himself that he could not give these two people to Su Su. Wen Yanbo, you said something, I said it, it doesn’t matter if you can’t convince Li Chongjiu. If you let your two allies be won over by Li Chongjiu, it would be bad. No, you should be won over by Li Mi. After all, Li Mi is the most likely person to seize the world.

Lu Ziqian then said, "I bet that Duke Wei cannot capture Guanzhong, although Xue Shixiong has left. However, the emperor has sent Jiangdu to guard Wang Shichong, general Jiang, and Huai soldiers go north. At the same time, he ordered General Wang Long to command Qiong Huangman, Hebei Ambassador Taichang Shaoqing Wei Ji, Henan Ambassador Huya Lang General Wang Bian, Henei to guard Meng Shanyi, Heyang County Wei Dugu Wudu and other generals to go to the Eastern Capital to know each other and fight against Li Mi. There are 200,000 troops in the east, so how can Li Mi defeat him?"

"The envoy is a wise man who easily presses everything on Li Mi. Isn't it too short-sighted?"

Li Chongjiu said, "But Li Yuan may not be able to really take Guanzhong. Mr. Lu put all the bets on one person. Isn't it too risky? Mr. Lu, it's really the so-called "You can't abandon your selfishness."

Just as everyone was discussing, suddenly one person went to the county magistrate's office to report to Li Chongjiu. He said, "Encourt, Duke Wei is here to envoy!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly became angry. Li Mi suddenly sent an envoy to come. What is this?

Li Chongjiu shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I guess the day is going to be there. It's just a few days."

"You..." Lu Ziqian suddenly changed his expression, but immediately suppressed it.

Li Chongjiu smiled and looked at the leaders of the three great gentry clans present. They were also storms and people. After the initial shock, they settled down immediately.

Li Chongjiu immediately said to Zhao Heran, Gao Xudao and others, "It just so happens that everyone is here, so we will go to see the envoy of Duke Wei and listen to what he said."

Now Li Chongjiu met Li Mi's envoy in the middle hall.

Li Mi envoys were all recognized by Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan, and another person was wearing Lin Zong scarf, with wide robe and big sleeves showing the style of a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Li Chongjiu and Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan were all around this person, which means that this person was a righteous envoy and had a higher status than Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan. When he was at a time, he could guess who the other party was.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu clasped his fists and said, "Isn't this the chief of the house in Yuzhou for Mr. Wei?"

He said that surrendering to Yuzhou was Fang Yanzao's most proud thing. He heard Li Chongjiu shouting out, and said with a smile: "It's just a mere thing. I don't want my name to be able to be a messenger. It's such an honor."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said immediately: "Brother Fang is too humble. Come and I will introduce to you this person, Lu Ziqian Duke Lu from the Lu family in Fanyang, this person is Zhao Heran Duke Zhao from the Zhao family in Zhuo County, and this person is Gao Xu Dao Gao from the Gao family in Yuyang!"

"Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

Fang Yanzao bowed to them one by one according to the etiquette of the scholars, but the three of them did not take the airs and avoided themselves and bowed again.

So Li Chongjiu generals Lu, Gao and Zhao introduced them one by one. Fang Yanzao also knew that these three were gentry members of Zhuo County. He looked up to Li Chongjiu at the moment and thought that Li Chongjiu had occupied Zhuo County for only more than ten days, but he had recovered the hearts of the local gentry and people. This was not easy.

Fang Yanzao didn't know that in fact, he was just right.

Regarding Lu Ziqian from the Lu family of Fanyang, Fang Yanzao couldn't help but be more beautiful and said alone: ​​"Mr. Lu really admires the name of his name for a long time."

Lu Ziqian did not disgrace the face of the number one civil servant under Li Mi and said, "Brother Fang has come to Zhuo County thousands of miles away. How about I ask me to hold a banquet for you tonight?"

Fang Yanzao laughed and said, "I heard that Mr. Lu is polite for a long time. Brother Fang must be nagging, but I will be a private person first and then private. I'll say it's important. Mr. Wei was very pleased to hear that you took Zhuo County and decided to make you the Shangzhu Kingdom and the Shanggu County Duke."

The Shangzhu Kingdom is a military honor, and the Shanggu Duke is a famous title, and he is given a title.

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he put his sleeves together, bowed to the south, and said, "Mr. Li thanked Duke Wei here!"

Fang Yanzao, Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan all smiled happily.

Yuan Baozang, the county magistrate of Wuyang County of Sui, surrendered to Li Mi with one county, and Pei Renji, the ambassador of Henan Province, were both sealed as the upper pillar country by Li Mi and given titles. Shangzhu Kingdom was the highest military honor of the Northern Dynasties, just as Li Mi made Li Chongji the upper pillar country at that time, which means that Pei Renji was regarded as the Yuanbaozang, and Pei Renji was in line with him. His status in the Wagang Army was far higher than that of Meng Rang, who was appointed as the chief supervisor, and Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who had newly surrendered to Wagang Village.

If the Wagang Army wins the world in the future, he will be the first-class founding minister.

Although Lu Ziqian had prepared for several people, he was shocked at this moment. In Lu Ziqian's opinion, although he had been with Li Chongjiu for a long time, he could not help but feel that this kid did not look so calm about the world because of his countless experiences.

But at this time, Zhao Heran was the first to react and bowed to Li Chongjiu and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Shanggu, and congratulate Mr. Shanggu."

After Zhao Heran finished speaking, Su Su and Wen Yanbo immediately congratulated each other, while Lu Ziqian had a dark face, Gao Xudao was also thinking a little, but both of them congratulated Li Chongjiu in person.

Li Chongjiu immediately said to Fang Yanzao: "Mr. Wei really intends. I wonder if Mr. Wei agreed to my request?"

Fang Yanzao smiled loudly and said, "For the matter of envoy Li's advice to Duke Wei to be the official title, Duke Wei replied that the Dongdu had not yet settled. This is a secret letter from Duke Wei to Duke Shanggu, so you can read it slowly." (Note 1)

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that Li Mi was now the Duke of Wei, with the title of official position, and became the king after another step. Even with his current status, it would be an exaggeration to directly call himself emperor. However, Li Mi refused, which shows that he was not a self-proclaimed person.

Before Li Chongjiu could speak, Zhao Heran showed a look of regret and said, "The tyrant lord is unrighteous. If Duke Wei does not come out at this time, who else in the world will take it? He also advised Duke Wei to make a decision as soon as possible."

When everyone heard this, they thought that this person really met Feng Zhuandu. Fang Yanzao nodded reservedly when he heard this, and said, "I will tell Duke Wei what Zhao Gongcao said, I will thank Duke Wei first here."

"Where? Where?" After Zhao Heran finished speaking, his fat face was calm. For example, the lord of the gentry, who was so flattering that he had already deviated from it.

Li Chongjiu then accepted Li Mi's secret letter.

In response to Zhao Heran's reserve, Fang Yanzao said kindly to Li Chongjiu: "Duke Wei also said that although there is Luo Yi in Youzhou and Gao Kaidao has not yet been decided, it has been roughly calm. The Turks are in the north and Goguryeo is in the east. Both of these are my confidants. We must regain the control of it, and the people of Youzhou also need to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Duke Wei said that Li Envoy can now be called the governor of Zhuo County and is a prescription of Youzhou. When Duke Wei defeats the Eastern Capital, he will definitely be appointed Li Envoy as the governor of Youzhou."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu said, "Mr. Wei is very considerate for me."

When Lu Ziqian and others saw this scene, they still had any doubts. Li Chongjiu had obviously communicated with Li Mi secretly for a long time. He was able to sell Zhuo County to Li Yuan, and Li Chongjiu also secretly sold Zhuo County to Li Mi in exchange for a governor of Youzhou and a general of the Shangzhu Kingdom.

It's really too smart to do everything. But Lu Ziqian can understand it. Li Chongjiu really has no self-reliance and Zhuolu's ambitions, otherwise he would not have submitted a letter to Li Mi to persuade him to advance. Since the Li family of Zhaojun captured the world, that's nothing.

Zhao Heran and Gao Xudao were already thinking a little about how to establish a relationship with Li Mi. Although Lu Ziqian was unwilling to accept it, he thought that as long as Li Chongjiu was not independent, he would not be able to unite with the Youzhou gentry to oppose him. After all, he would be against Li Chongjiu and now he would be against Li Mi. Once Li Mi won the world, it would be bad to turn back and deal with them.

Lu Ziqian, Zhao Heran, Gao Xudao would not know that according to normal history, Li Mi did not capture the Dongdu and became the emperor, but Li Chongjiu understood this. As for the Wagang Army, Li Mi, Li Hu, Su Su, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Junkuo all maintained letter exchanges.

Since learning that Li Chongjiu has been reincarnated on the border, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junkuo were both very happy. Everyone agreed that once the world is pacified, everyone will return to Luzhou Juxianzhuang to gather. At that time, the heroes from all walks of life will gather again, and everyone will not return without getting drunk.

Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junkuo are both heroes of the world, and they are very heroic, but for Li Mi and Li Chongjiu, they are much more complicated at this moment.

Note 1: Zizhi Tongjian Volume 185, Dou Jiande, Zhu Can, Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang and others sent envoys to persuade them to advance. The secret officials Pei Renji and others also submitted a letter to ask for the title of the official position, and said, "The East Capital has not been pacified, so this cannot be discussed."
