Episode 10 Chapter 345

Chapter 345 Peng Cheng insisted on becoming a general, and he must have the will of Wind King Tang Yin. Ye Xiang and Yu Ting could not make this decision, so they could only return empty-handed and report to Lu She in Cangping. TXT download.

After hearing Peng Cheng's conditions, Lu She also frowned. He was just a county, and he turned to his side and wanted to become a general. It was really a lion's mouth!

However, the king also explained that as long as Peng Cheng's conditions could be met, they would be met. First, he would be won over. As long as Peng Cheng surrendered, the decision would be in his hands.

In Lu She's opinion, his conditions could be agreed, but it was a bit difficult to get the king's will. It's not that Tang Yin would not issue this order, but it would take too long. Yancheng is more than a thousand miles away from Cangping. Even if someone was sent to ride a fast horse day and night, it would take more than half a month for Tang Yin's order to reach Cangping. After such a long delay, it is hard to say whether Peng Cheng's mind would change.

Lu She thought about it and thought about it again and again, but he still felt that it was not realistic to ask the king to issue an order.

He asked Ye Xiang and Yu Ting whether they could confirm whether Peng Cheng's defection was true or false through contact with him, and whether the conditions he proposed were sincere or intentional.

Ye Xiang and Yu Ting agreed that Peng Cheng's intention to surrender and the conditions he proposed were sincere. Ye Xiang was a Mo person, and Lu She might still be skeptical about his words, but Yu Ting was a Feng person and his direct subordinate, so his words could not be false. Since Ye Xiang and Yu Ting both believed that Peng Cheng's surrender was true, then this matter should not be wrong.

After repeated consideration, Lu She decided to take the risk and go to Sishui County in person to recruit Peng Cheng to surrender. Lu She was a Feng person and a close minister of Feng Wang Tang Yin. In a sense, he could represent Tang Yin.

If he went there in person to solicit surrender, even without Tang Yin's order, it would show Feng State's attitude on this matter. He believed that his sincerity would surely move Peng Cheng.

Lu She was careful in doing things, but he was too careless this time.

Knowing that Lu She was going to Sishui County in person, the left prime minister Fan Shan and the imperial censor Feng Yuandong came together to persuade him not to take risks easily. It would be safest to send someone else to solicit surrender.

If sending someone else would be useful, Lu She would not have to take risks himself. He rejected the good intentions of Fan Shan and Feng Yuandong in a roundabout way, and confidently comforted the two of them, asking them not to worry about him.

To make a long story short, Lu She took more than 20 outstanding guests and guards, disguised as merchants from the Mo Kingdom, and quietly left Cangping and went to Sishui County. But while he was in Sishui County, Peng Cheng had a mess.

It was not that Peng Cheng regretted it, but that the Northwest Inspector sent by Shao Fang quietly arrived in Sishui County. Sishui County is an important place in the Mo Kingdom, so how could there be no spies from the court?

Peng Cheng wanted to defect to the new Mo Kingdom and had frequent contacts with envoys sent by the new Mo Kingdom. The news also reached the Mo Kingdom court. The matter was of great importance, and the Mo Kingdom court hurriedly sent a letter to Shao Fang, who was in Zhendi, asking him to make a decision.

Shao Fang was furious when he received the news, and immediately wrote back to Zhenjiang, appointing his confidant Wei Bo as the Northwest Inspector to go to Sishui County to investigate whether Peng Cheng had any intention of rebellion. If he really wanted to defect, he could be executed immediately without reporting.

Wei Bo's background was the same as Ji Wei, who was also Shao Fang's confidant. They used to be his retainers, but Wei Bo's ability was far superior to Ji Wei. This person was scheming and good at strategy. He seemed easy-going on the surface, but in fact, he was smiling and hiding a knife, hurting people invisibly.

After he arrived at Tongxia, the capital of Sishui County, he did not investigate Peng Cheng in a big way. He lived in the county government, and took Peng Cheng out to eat, drink, and have fun every day, so that he would not be on guard. In secret, Wei Bo sent people to investigate Peng Cheng, while taking over the command of the Tongxia garrison.

He was the Northwest Inspector, equivalent to an imperial envoy sent by the court, and he had a secret order from Shao Fang, so it was too easy for those generals in the garrison who were not Peng Cheng's trusted generals to obey him.

It can be said that Wei Bo had unknowingly taken over most of the garrison in the county city during his daily eating, drinking, and having fun. Peng Cheng was unaware of this, and Lu She, who was rushing to Tongxia, had no idea.

Not long after, Lu She arrived in Tongxia, sneaked into the city, and went straight to the county government. When he arrived at the gate of the county government, he asked the guards at the door to go in and report that it was a merchant from the north who wanted to see the county lord.

There are a lot of "merchants" coming from the north these days, and the guards are used to it. After hearing this, they didn't take it seriously and went back to the mansion to report to Peng Cheng.

At this time, Peng Cheng was drinking and watching dances with Wei Bo in the lobby. Suddenly, he heard that there were merchants from the north asking to see him. His heart trembled, and the smile on his face froze for a few seconds. Then he bowed to Wei Bo, who was sitting in the upper seat, and smiled: "Sir Wei, I have something to leave first, and I will be back soon!"

Wei Bo held the wine glass, looked at him with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Why? Sir Peng, is there anything else that I can't let you know?"

Hearing this, Peng Cheng's face suddenly changed. Before he could reply, Wei Bo laughed again, waved his hands, and said: "I was just joking. Sir Peng, don't take it seriously. If there is something important, go and do it quickly. I am not a three-year-old child. I am already past the age of needing someone to accompany me, haha——"

call! Peng Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Uncle Wei was a loser. Otherwise, today would have been in danger. He also laughed, cupped his hands and shook his head and said: "Master Wei is so good at joking, I'll excuse you now, and I'll have a good drink with you later!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Go and do your business!" Uncle Wei drank heavily while squinting at the dancers dancing below.

Peng Cheng sneered in his heart, stood up and left the table. After leaving the lobby, he immediately ordered his men to take the visitor to his study, where he waited.

It didn't take long for Lu She to bring his two most capable cronies to the door of the study. Under the guidance of the county's servants, they knocked on the door and entered.

Peng Cheng in the room looked up and down at Lu She who walked in. He felt that he was very unfamiliar. He put his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you claim to be a businessman from the north?"

"To be precise..." Lu She smiled and said leisurely: "I am from Cangping in the north."

Peng Cheng's heart moved. It turned out to be someone from Shao Jun's side. He narrowed his eyes, waved his hand towards Lu She, and said, "Sir, please sit down!"

Lu She was not polite, he randomly picked a seat and sat down calmly. Two of his cronies stood on the left and right.

Peng Cheng said: "Last time, I made it very clear to Brother Ye and Brother Yu. I must have brought what I wanted, right?"

"Not really." Lu She shook her head with a smile and said bluntly: "Your Excellency, you should know very well that Yancheng is thousands of miles away from Cangping. Every time you go there, you will be delayed on the road for nearly two months. How can the things you want be delivered so quickly?”

Hearing this, Peng Cheng's face immediately darkened and he said coldly: "Since you didn't bring me what I wanted, what are you doing here? I don't have that much time to talk nonsense like this. I'm sorry. Excuse me!" As he spoke, he stood up to leave.

Now it is no better than before. Because Uncle Wei is in the house, Peng Cheng's private meetings with people from the New Mo Kingdom are also taking great risks. However, the other party regards contact with him as a commonplace and does it casually. How can he not feel guilty? gas?

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu She raised his hand to stop him and said quietly: "Master Peng, don't be anxious. Although I didn't bring you what Master Peng wanted, my coming here is the greatest sincerity of my king to Master Peng." ”

Peng Cheng took back his steps and looked at the unremarkable middle-aged man in front of him again. After looking at him for a long time, he asked suspiciously: "Excuse me, your Excellency..."

Lu She straightened his body and said seriously: "Grand scholar of Feng State, right prime minister of Mobei court, Lu She."

Hearing the name Lu She, Peng Cheng took a breath and looked directly at him. He stood there blankly and did not recover for a long time. Of course he had heard of Lu She's name. He was the right minister of the New Mo Kingdom. He was also a first-class bachelor in the Feng Kingdom and a confidant of Feng King Tang Yin. Lu She was right. Although he did not bring the King of Feng's will, his presence in person could fully demonstrate the King of Wind's sincerity to him.

I don't know how long it took, but Peng Cheng woke up from the shock. He hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed deeply to Lu She, and said in a trembling voice: "I wonder if it's Lu Da..."

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, he heard a loud bang and someone kicked the door open from the outside. Immediately afterwards, Wei Bo walked in from the outside under the gaze of a group of guards. .

Seeing the horrified expressions on the faces of Lu She and Peng Cheng in the room, Wei Bo looked up and laughed loudly and said, "Who is the person who came to the county mansion today? It turns out to be Mr. Lu Shelu. Wei Bo, the envoy who inspected the northwest of Mo State, met him at a distance. "

Isn't he drinking? How did you get here? At this time, Peng Cheng's head buzzed and he almost fainted on the spot.

His legs were weak and he slumped to the ground involuntarily. His eyes widened and he looked at Uncle Wei in disbelief, and stammered: "Wei, Mr. Wei, you... you must not misunderstand, my official... ...The lower official is...is..."

He was incoherent and couldn't even speak. Wei Bo walked up to him with a smile, helped him up gently, and said kindly: "Master Peng has been wronged. In order to catch this big fish from the enemy's country, Master Peng endured humiliation and endured humiliation and made sacrifices. He can be called the pillar of our dynasty. When I return to Zhenjiang, I will report your merits to the king and ask the king to reward you generously!"

Unexpectedly, Wei Bo would say this. Peng Cheng was dumbfounded. After a while, he came back to his senses and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu She. At this time, the latter was also looking at him, his eyes almost bursting with fire. , and the two followers beside him have also drawn their swords, as if they will rush towards him at any time and tear him to pieces.
