*****
The hot tea dispelled the autumn cold on his body, and Niu Jinda, who had just returned from his tour, breathed out comfortably, and said, "The harvest has almost been completed, Jingzhao Prefecture not only sent a letter to the county government and villages to organize people to grab the grain, but also cooperated with Yushitai to send A large number of officials went down to the fields to supervise and supervise. Anyone who delayed or hindered the harvest would be severely punished, and the efficiency was extremely high. Ma Zhou was usually quiet and sluggish, but he was very capable and well-known. The statue of the minister."

Cheng Yaojin said "Hey", took a sip of tea, and said disapprovingly: "The people that Emperor Taizong is optimistic about, have you ever missed them? Ma Zhou, Fang Er, and even Liu Ji are all heroes of the moment. If you look at King Jin again, there is no soldier under his command, no official or half-job, and when he escaped from the Taiji Palace, he pulled up more than [-] soldiers and horses, raised the flag of rebellion in a grand manner, and the government and the opposition went up and down openly and secretly There are countless supporters, how can ordinary people do this? No wonder Emperor Taizong has always wanted to pass the throne to King Jin. To be fair, he is indeed much stronger than His Majesty."

Regarding this statement, Niu Jinda, who has always been obedient to Cheng Yaojin's words, has a different opinion.

"Throughout the ages, whether an emperor can do well is not directly related to his ability. Let alone the distant ones, let's say that Emperor Sui Yang, with his knowledge of the past and the present, his quick thinking and great talent, made great achievements in the world, and finally he won a The country was destroyed and the country was defeated? It dragged the world into a chaotic world full of wars and flames. I don’t know how many people died on the battlefield, and I don’t know how many people were displaced in the smoke of war, and died of cold and hunger.”

Niu Jinda's tone was somewhat resentful, and his face was gloomy.

Cheng Yaojin knew that his parents died tragically in the flames of war, and he was extremely destitute when he was young, so he hated the Sui Yang Emperor who ruined the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty.

Cheng Chu Mo put on his helmet and came in from the outside: "Commander, Yu Chigong sent someone here, saying that a letter from His Royal Highness King Jin has arrived."

Cheng Yaojin asked Niu Jinda: "Where is King Jin's army arriving now?"

Niu Jinda glanced at the map on the wall, and said: "I arrived at Huaxu Mausoleum after noon yesterday and set up camp. I'm sure I'm going to cross the river to meet Yuchi Gong at this moment."

After a pause, he added: "Xue Wanche led the right military guard across the Wei River and went south after King Jin's tail. At the beginning, I thought he wanted to join forces with King Jin, but when King Jin heard the news of Xue Wanche crossing the river, he went south." They pulled out the camp overnight and hurried south, leaving [-] Cui's private troops to guard the camp. After Xue Wanche arrived, he led the army to attack. This happened the night before, and the [-] Cui's private troops must have been wiped out by now."

Cheng bit Jin's mouth, and said: "To survive by cutting off the tail, His Royal Highness King Jin killed decisively, but the total number of Qinghe Cui's private troops who came to Guanzhong this time is only more than ten thousand people, and this battle will be wiped out, presumably The King of Jin must have made a huge promise to him, otherwise the Cui family would never be so resolute."

Then, he said to Cheng Chumo: "Let someone come in."

"Here."

Cheng Chumo withdrew, and after a while, Su Jia entered.

Greeting each other, Cheng Yaojin invited Su Jia to take a seat, and said with a smile: "You can be regarded as the confidant of Yuchi Lao Hei, and you dare to come to Lao Tzu's camp openly? Tie you up and let your brother-in-law take money to redeem, Lao Tzu It’s bound to make a lot of money.”

Su Jia is not only the deputy of General Youhouwei and Yu Chigong, but also Yu Chigong's brother-in-law and a proper confidant. When the two armies are at war, sending such a person to Cheng Yaojin's camp shows that it must be of great importance ...

Su Jia took a sip of tea, with a calm demeanor, a smile that was not a smile: "Mr. Lu Guo is unfaithful, cunning and unreasonable. No matter what he does, it will not be surprising. The end is here, or you will be the end." Let’s tie them up and see if the E State Guild will take money to redeem him?”

This is ironic that before Cheng Yaojin violated the tacit understanding between the two sides, he killed a "returning carbine" in an extremely shameful manner, causing Youhou Wei to lose a lot.

Speaking of it, at Cheng Yaojin's status and level, although it is understandable to do so, it is morally ashamed and ridiculed...

Cheng Yaojin cursed at Cheng Chu who was glaring at him, "Is there room for you to speak here? Get out!"

Cheng Chumo went out angrily.

Then Cheng Yaojin said calmly to Su Jia: "The two armies are fighting, the winner is the king, and you are stupid and blame others for tricks? Tell me, what is the purpose of this?"

Su Jia took out the letter paper and handed it to Cheng Yaojin with both hands: "This is written by His Royal Highness King Jin, and it will be handed over to Duke Lu at the end of his life. Please accept it."

Cheng Yaojin took the letter paper, glanced at the handwriting on the cover of "Lu Guogong's personal seal", and checked the sealant seal, and confirmed that it was correct, then took out a dagger to pick up the seal paper, took out the letter paper, and looked at Su Jia's attention. Put down the letter paper in the middle, and then did not think or be happy as Su Jia thought, but with an angry face, threw the letter paper on the table...

"How unreasonable! King Jin thinks I'm a three-year-old child?"

Su Jia was stunned: "Why did Duke Lu say such a thing?"

Although he didn't know what was written in the letter, since the king of Jin wanted to recruit Cheng Yaojin, he would definitely promise a lot of money, not to mention the shocked expression on Wang Shoushi's side when the king of Jin wrote this letter, it can be seen that the promise must be beyond imagination. Why is Cheng Yaojin not only dissatisfied, but also angry like being insulted?

Cheng Yaojin threw the letter paper to Su Jia: "Look for yourself!"

Su Jia took the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp...

In the letter, Li Zhi promised to achieve great things in the future, and he granted Cheng Yaojin the Duke of Wu and granted him the land of Wuyue. You must know that at the beginning of Zhenguan, the land of Wuyue was granted to King Li Ke of Wu. Ke's prince has already taken back, and Cheng Yaojin is the de facto king of Wu.

Wuyue is rich and prosperous, who knows that the power of salt and iron is the best in the world?
What's more, Fang Jun's fief is in Huating Town, which has been painstakingly managed by him over the years. The land almost gathers wealth from Jiangnan and overseas.

If Cheng Yaojin seals his land, it can be second to none in the world.

What's more, there is also the official position of "General Zuo Wuwei and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy", which means that the navy that spans the seven seas will be completely under Cheng Yaojin's command... In this way, Cheng Yaojin can even be called "King of the East China Sea"!
In order to attract Cheng Yaojin, King Jin spent a lot of money, so Cheng Yaojin is not satisfied?
Su Jia stared at Cheng Yaojin in disbelief, a little speechless, and said: "The general's status is low, and he shouldn't have said anything about Duke Lu's choice. ?”

It is understandable not to agree to King Jin's solicitation, and it is also understandable to have other ideas, but to be dissatisfied with King Jin's offer of such a price, is this a bit greedy?

Is it possible that you want the king of Jin to say "this king and the king share the world"?
Niu Jinda also took the letterhead and looked at it, and looked at Cheng Yaojin in surprise, is he still not satisfied?

unacceptable……

"fart!"

Cheng Yaojin scolded, not knowing whether it was Su Jia or King Jin, he tapped his fingers on the table, with an unhappy expression on his face: "This letter has a lot of verbosity, at first glance it seems It seems to be very generous and full of sincerity... But if you look carefully, isn't this just giving me Fang Er's family fortune?"

Su Jia and Niu Jinda thought about it carefully, it was really...

Although the land of Wuyue has been the best in the world since ancient times, the best things are Huating Town and Jiangnan Shipyard. These two places can earn Fang Jun a mountain of gold every year.The navy is Fang Jun's sphere of influence, everyone is Fang Jun's confidant, every move overseas is also assigned by Fang Jun, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Jun's private army.

Now they are all given to Cheng Yaojin by King Jin...

Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face, "Go back and discuss this matter later."

Su Jia didn't know what to say, so he got up, took his leave and left.

When Su Jia left, Cheng Yaojin became more and more annoyed, and said to Niu Jinda: "Not to mention that I and the Fang family are family friends, and I can't do dirty things like robbing the younger generation's family property. Even if I am willing, you think Fang is second-hand? Those arrogant soldiers can obey my command honestly? Believe it or not, I went to Huating Town on the first day, and my head disappeared the next morning?"

Niu Jinda nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yaojin took a sip of tea, sighed, and said with some disappointment: "The King Jin's situation is much worse than His Majesty's."

Just like what Niu Jinda said just now, the ability of an emperor is actually not that important. Those who are amazingly talented may not be able to govern a country well, let alone treat their courtiers well.

Promising benefits to attract important people, but still hiding small thoughts, is this what a gentleman does?
Niu Jinda also understood the truth after biting the gold: "King Jin knows that even if he sits on the throne in the future, it will be difficult to completely empty out Fang Jun's foundation. As long as Huating Town exists, the navy will not be under control for a day. It is impossible to have all of Jiangnan in one's hands. Even if Fang Jun fled to Jiangnan after the defeat, it would pose a huge hidden danger to the unification of the empire. Therefore, King Jin seems to promise you a lot of benefits, but in fact he wants to use you to follow Fang Jun tit for tat... a little too much."

……

Su Jia returned to the station, saw Yu Chigong, and narrated Cheng Yaojin's reaction.

Yu Chigong looks stupid and rough, but actually has a keen mind. Hearing Su Jia talk about the conditions King Jin promised to Cheng Yaojin, he was a little bit jealous, but he heard that Cheng Yaojin was not only not grateful for Dade's willingness to agree, but was furious. After thinking about it, I understood the key.

Can't help being a little speechless: "If the King of Jin wants to recruit Cheng Yaojin, then he will take out the real benefits. Why are you so smart and think that everyone is a fool? If you do this, it is difficult to recruit Cheng Yaojin Big increase."

If an agreement cannot be successfully reached with Cheng Yaojin, it will be extremely difficult for Jin Wang's army to reach the city of Chang'an smoothly.

The situation was originally good, but it was made more difficult by King Jin's coquettish manipulation...
