Liu Qiong returned to the county seat, made quick arrangements, and then left the county seat with Pu Changzhi, and rode southward quickly, heading straight to Qujiang County in the south. Today's Liu Qiong wants to make contributions so that he can complete the task with all his heart. Because once he made meritorious service, he could then be promoted and further become the governor of Shaozhou.
This is a great opportunity.
The reason why Liu Qiong knew Zhu Yuwen, the magistrate of Qujiang County, was that although he and Zhu Yuwen were a few years apart in age, and even Zhu Yuwen was slightly older than him, they were brothers of the same school and studied under the same teacher.
Although Liu Qiong is young, he is the first to start, and he is a senior brother. He and Zhu Yuwen also exchange letters on weekdays. That's why Liu Qiong dared to go to persuade Zhu Yuwen.
Liu Qiong drove non-stop all the way, and when it was approaching evening, the two found a village to rest and rested temporarily in the village. The two lived together at night, but although Liu Qiong was quite tired, he didn't feel much sleepiness.
He was still quite excited inside.
Liu Qiong looked at Pu Changzhi on the side, and said, "Mr. Pu, we are at most half a day away from Qujiang County. We will arrive in Qujiang County before tomorrow afternoon. If it succeeds this time, I will sign Mr. Pi is the long history of my governor's mansion."
Pu Changzhi said: "Thank you county lord."
He was very happy in his heart, and there was a bright smile on his face. Before that, he was just Liu Qiong's staff member. Once he became the long history of the state capital, he would be the number two person in the state. At that time, although he can be regarded as an aide, as the chief historian of a state, he was also appointed by the imperial court. Since then, he has jumped into the dragon's gate.
Liu Qiong said: "When you arrive in Qujiang County, you will be responsible for contacting my Liu family in Qujiang County. Then, I will go to see Zhu Yuwen. At that time, we will work together and make progress at the same time."
Pu Changzhi nodded and agreed.
The two chatted about the arrangements for arriving in Qujiang County, arranged things clearly, and then went to rest.
Early the next morning, very early in the morning.
Liu Qiong took Pu Changzhi to the south again, heading for Qujiang County. This way going south, they were still rushing all the way. Although the weather was still quite hot, Liu Qiong didn't mind at all, and arrived in Qujiang County just after noon.
Entering the city, Liu Qiong went directly to the Liu family's stronghold in the city. After washing up and changing clothes, Liu Qiong asked Pu Changzhi to contact the Liu family in Qujiang County, while he waited at the residence temporarily.
Because I was worried about eyeliner, I didn't go to see Zhu Yuwen for the time being. When it was completely dark and night fell, Liu Qiong got up and left the mansion, and came to the county government office and knocked on the door to ask for an audience. He reported his name, and after the concierge went to report, he would come to lead Liu Qiong into the mansion in a short time.
Liu Qiong met Zhu Yuwen in the study.
Zhu Yuwen's age is over forty, but he looks quite old. His temples had turned gray early on, and his face was even more weathered. Seeing Liu Qiong, Zhu Yuwen said in a deep voice, "Brother, why did you come to Qujiang from Zhenchang County? I heard that Zhenchang County was attacked by Du Qi, and it is very likely that it has fallen. Now you have come south to Qujiang , Could it be that Zhenchang County has really fallen?"
Liu Qiong sat down and said: "Junior brother, the reason why I came to Qujiang County was not because of the fall of Zhenchang County, but because of something. Zhenchang County didn't fall, it was surrendered to Xia Kingdom under my leadership. We Today, I have served Xia Guo. I went south to Qujiang County to persuade you to surrender, and I hope you can return to Xia Guo."
Zhu Yuwen raised his brows and said, "Brother, Your Majesty once sent us a letter saying that once Xia Guo's army came, we could follow the trend and surrender, but it was a false surrender. Now your posture clearly shows that you have truly surrendered to Du Qi. In such a situation Your Majesty, you have betrayed His Majesty and Great Tang."
Liu Qiong smiled lightly and said easily: "Brother Zhu, I did betray Datang and Li Shimin. But tell me, does Li Shimin have any kindness to support us? Is there any kindness to know you? On the contrary As soon as he arrived in Shaozhou, he set up difficult problems for us everywhere. What's more, when you talk about the comparison between Xia Guo and Datang, can't you tell the difference?"
Zhu Yuwen fell silent immediately after hearing the words.
The current situation is indeed quite unfavorable.
Xia Guo is coming in a menacing manner, with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. Today's Li Shimin has fallen into peace, and even everything in the Tang Dynasty has fallen into a desperate situation and has fallen into the most difficult situation.
Is it possible to resist Xia Guo?
It is estimated that it is impossible.
Previously, Datang had made arrangements to block and even destroy bridges along the way. But from the beginning to the end, this did not have any effect at all, and it was completely unable to stop Xia Guo's offensive.
On the contrary, Xia Guo,Still invincible.
Seeing that Zhu Yuwen was silent, Liu Qiong continued in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Zhu, let me say something from the bottom of my heart. Putting aside our future in the officialdom, both of you and I have countless concerns. My Liu family is here. In Chang County, your Zhu family is in Qujiang County, but they are all rich, with countless clan members."
After a pause, Liu Qiong continued: "Don't think about other things, don't you think about your clan? You want to be loyal to Li Shimin, but the result of you and Xia Guo's death is that you are dead. The foundation of the Zhu family for more than a hundred years It will be destroyed. Even the Zhu family will be wiped out of the nine clans, leaving no dogs or chickens behind. Would you like such a situation?"
Zhu Yuwen's expression was even more solemn.
Zhu Yuwen is not a young and inexperienced person, nor is he a hot-blooded young man who has just emerged. As the head of the family and the head of the clan, he knows that once he dies in battle, even if he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty but loses in the end, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
This is an unimaginable consequence.
Zhu Yuwen sighed and said: "Brother, you don't need to persuade me, I already know what to do."
There was a smile on Liu Qiong's face, and he said: "Brother Zhu, you are a smart person, you know what to do and what not to do. And you and I are the same, people in the officialdom, how can you be willful and self-willed. It is not easy for a family to prosper , It needs the right time and the right place. Once the family is weak, it will be trampled by countless people. This is absolutely impossible. So, you and I can only look forward."
Zhu Yuwen said: "I know."
After a pause, Zhu Yuwen said, "What do you need me to do here?"
Liu Qiong said in a deep voice: "Provide as much information as possible about Li Shimin. The more detailed, the more conducive it will be for His Majesty to attack Li Shimin. This Li Shimin belongs to the rabbit, and he runs very fast. This time, Li Shimin must be taken down, and he will not be able to do it again." Let him escape."
Zhu Yuwen said: "After Li Shimin arrived in Qujiang County, he was not stationed in the city, but entrenched in Yushan. I don't know the specific situation. After all, he never entered Yushan. That is, the surrounding conditions under Yushan, I know a little bit. "
Liu Qiong said: "Brother, you and I are two brothers. Only when brothers are of the same heart, can they rise together. Now you don't know anything, it's very difficult, how can you make meritorious service? Li Shimin is hiding in Yushan, you I have been the county magistrate of Qujiang County for more than ten years. I don't believe that you don't know how to deal with him."
Speaking of this, Liu Qiong continued: "Brother, in life and things, remember the two ends of the first mouse, and remember to be indecisive. When you are constantly breaking, you will be disturbed by it. If the opportunity comes, but you don't grasp it, you will miss it. Now No matter what the situation is, think about how to deal with Li Shimin first. As long as there is a way to deal with Li Shimin, you and I will have a further chance."
Zhu Yuwen thought about it.
He also agrees with Liu Qiong. Since he has decided to submit to Du Qi, he naturally has nothing to say. He should do what he wants, and he must maximize his benefits.
Zhu Yuwen thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "If you want to deal with Li Shimin, there is a way."
Liu Qiong raised his eyebrows happily and said, "Tell me quickly and listen."
Zhu Yuwen said: "I really don't know what kind of situation Li Shimin is hiding in Yushan. But what I can know is that he came down from Yushan and walked around the river around Yushan. What are the ferry terminals and what are the easy landing points."
"As long as we arrange people on the water in advance to destroy these areas and then set fire to the mountains, then Li Shimin will be in trouble. After all, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Under the scorching sun, Li Shimin's army will definitely not be able to hide in the mountains .¡±
Zhu Yuwen said: "Because the waterway is blocked, it is even more impossible for Li Shimin to escape. This method can achieve the effect of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot."
"Wonderful!"
After Liu Qiong heard it, his face was full of excitement.
This is excellent advice.
Liu Qiong said seriously: "Brother, we are here in Qujiang County, waiting for His Majesty's army to arrive. Then, you and I will welcome His Majesty into the city, tell His Majesty the plan, and ask Your Majesty to implement it. But before that, you have to arrange someone to work with me. Together with the people, arrange along this river of Yushan, ready to destroy the pier at any time. Only then can Li Shimin's retreat be cut off. In short, make all the arrangements and wait for His Majesty to arrive."
Zhu Yuwen said: "No problem!"
After he made up his mind, there was no reason to shirk, and he naturally went all out to help. Zhu Yuwen and Liu Qiong agreed on a strategy, began to discuss detailed plans, perfected the entire plan one by one, and took care of the rest of the details that needed attention. Only then did Liu Qiong leave. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
