Chapter 344
"Whoa!"
With a crisp sound, the good tea bowl shattered to the ground.
In the spacious study room, Cao Zhongsan pointed at Li Yanqing and cursed: "Is this why you said that Lin Hongfei would definitely beg for mercy?"
"Is this called begging for mercy?"
"This is called a declaration of war!"
"Look, look, how well this news is written. Lin Hongfei is described as a direct hero, and I am called a stupid person who does not reward for his merits and has no eyes."
"He, Lin Hongfei, has become a loyal minister on the side of the Qing emperor."
"Is this the Qing emperor's side?"
"This is the Chen Qiao mutiny!"
"Tell me, what should I do now!"
Li Yanqing was frightened into silence by the swearing and cursing, and only after a while did he timidly say:
"Otherwise, let's keep doing nothing. Since Lin Hongfei dares to raise an army and make trouble, then we will kill all his subordinates in the capital."
"Then he said in the newspaper that the reason for killing people was that Lin Hongfei forced us to do so."
"fart!"
Cao Zhongsan's words scared Li Yanqing into silence.
"What kind of shit idea is that!"
"If you killed them, wouldn't you completely turn against Lin Hongfei!"
Cao Zhongsan was so angry that he got up and walked directly in front of Li Yanqing. He raised his hand and received two resounding slaps!
"Clap!"
With two swollen faces on his face, Li Yanqing didn't dare to say anything, he could only listen to Cao Zhongsan's scolding:
"Did I say you are a pig brain?"
"Don't even think about it. If you really broke with Lin Hongfei publicly, the Fengjun outside the customs would not be happy."
"Don't forget, Feng Jun is to the northeast of us, and Lin Hongfei is to the southwest of us."
"If Lin Hongfei rebels, Feng Jun can contact him secretly immediately."
"At that time, the two of them will attack back and forth, can we still have a peaceful life?"
Cao Zhongsan became angrier as he spoke, pointed at Li Yanqing's nose and cursed: "It's all caused by you alone, everyone has to wipe your ass for you alone!"
Cao Zhongsan was right, the matter was indeed caused by Li Yanqing.
However, if we get to the bottom of it, Cao Zhongsan's secret favoritism is also the key reason for the intensification of the conflict between the two parties.
It's just that now is not the time to pursue anyone's responsibility. The key now is how to get Lin Hongfei to retreat, so as not to cause a fight between the direct factions and other factions to benefit in the end.
At this time, one of Cao Zhongsan's staff members said: "Old man, since Lin Hongfei raised his troops because we detained his subordinates in the capital."
"Then just let them go. In this way, Lin Hongfei will have no excuse to send troops, and he can only retreat."
As soon as this remark came out, another staff member next to him immediately objected: "This matter is definitely not feasible."
As he said that, he looked at Cao Zhongsan and said, "Old man, if we release him just because Lin Hongfei joined the army, wouldn't it make everyone think that we are afraid of Lin Hongfei?"
"You are the leader of our immediate family, and Lin Hongfei is also your subordinate after all."
"The leader is afraid of his subordinates, and your reputation will be greatly damaged in the future. How can you lead the generals in the direct line?"
"So, people must never be let go!"
After Cao Zhongsan listened, he nodded slightly, and then asked back: "Then, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"
The staff also simply said: "The subordinates have two options."
"The first one is the simplest, which is to start a fight. Didn't he want to clear the king's side? Let's say that Lin Hongfei committed a rebellion. As long as he is beaten back to Lingnan Province, this matter will naturally be resolved."
"The second way is to send someone to make peace. Although Lin Hongfei is arrogant, he still respects Wu Ziyu Yushuai very much, and Yushuai is his elder."
"I want Yushuai to come forward to make peace, and give both parties a step down, so that this matter can be turned into friendship."
After the staff said this, before Cao Zhongsan could speak, Li Yanqing who was at the side spoke first:
"Then the first one is to fight Lin Hongfei!"
"We have 10,000+ soldiers stationed in Yu Province, so we are afraid that he will fail!"
As soon as the words came out, Cao Zhongsan glared again: "Shut up, when will it be your turn to intervene in this important military matter!"
The staff next to him also explained to Li Yanqing: "Sixth Lord, you don't know something. This Lin Hongfei has been personally taught by Wu Ziyu. He is a mighty general in the world, and his subordinates are like tigers."
"You just said that we have 10,000+ troops stationed in Yu Province, but do you know that the nearest Yu Province army to Lingnan Province is Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army."
"Liu Zhenhua was originally Lin Hongfei's defeated general. He was beaten by Lin Hongfei in Shaanxi Province back then and was powerless."
"Do you think he can stop Lin Hongfei?"
Speaking of this, the staff looked at Cao Zhongsan and said, "Old man, I suggest asking Yushuai to make peace."
"You also said just now that Feng Jun has regained his vitality outside the pass, and he is always ready to move."
"If we really fight Lin Hongfei, the Feng army will definitely re-enter the customs, and we will suffer from the enemy."
"So starting a fight is a bad idea!"
After listening to the staff's analysis, Cao Zhongsan also heaved a long sigh, his eyes were a little lonely and he said:
"I have followed President Yuan Da to train troops at Jinmen Xiaozhan since the Qing Dynasty."
"After several battles, he can be regarded as a character now."
"I didn't expect that I would be helpless by a brat."
"It's really like the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead!"
After Cao Zhongsan expressed his emotions, he said to his staff: "Go ahead, draw up a telegram and send it to Ziyu immediately, asking him to come out and help make peace."
When Cao Zhongsan was devastated by Lin Hongfei's news, other forces in the country were not idle.
Outside the customs, after seeing the news, Feng Jun was so happy that he burst out laughing:
"Hahaha!"
"Damn it, everyone said that it's easy to share adversity and enjoy good fortune together."
"That's really good. You see, it's not a matter of internal strife!"
"Cao Zhongsan, Cao Zhongsan, you are worthy of being a cloth seller. Your eyelids are really shallow, so you know the benefits of staring in front of your eyes."
"For the sake of Li Yanqing, who is taking a bath, he just annoyed a hero like Lin Hongfei."
"If it were me, let alone the tour envoy of the two provinces, I would let him be the deputy tour envoy of the three provinces."
Next to him, Marshal Feng Jun also finished reading the news, he loosened the top button, twisted his neck and said:
"Father, should we take this opportunity to send troops into the pass?"
Marshal Feng Jun thought for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lin Hongfei wants to be Qing Jun's side, Wu Ziyu will definitely not sit idly by, he will definitely come forward to mediate."
"Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the changes."
Speaking of this, the old man thought about it again: "Well, you send two regiments to build fortifications near Shanhaiguan."
"If Wu Ziyu's mediation fails and the direct faction is really in conflict, let these two regiments be the vanguard and enter the customs first."
"If there is no fight, it will be considered a military exercise."
The young marshal nodded: "Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements!"
After the young commander left, the old commander put on his reading glasses again, and said to himself, "I really hope they fight!"
