Chapter 774 Ambitious!
The situation in Jiangnan was earth-shaking, but the situation in the north was not calm. Song Naifeng marched from Bingzhou into Longyou, swept Longyou, and re-entered the northwest. The Song family in Longyou rose again, which caused a great storm in the northwest.
After Song Naifeng occupied the northwest, he recruited troops and expanded his military supplies to nearly 300,000 in a short period of time. He brought all the new recruits recruited by the Two Rivers to the northwest, while the Two Rivers area was guarded by the Northwest Iron Cavalry. Obviously, today, if you want to say that the strongest is definitely Song Naifeng.
Tan Lei still defended the capital. The capital was undoubtedly the most important city in the territory of the Dakang Empire. However, for Tan Lei, it has become a waste of money and he is trapped in the capital. On the one hand, he cannot expand his strength, and on the other hand, he also lacks money and food. The capital of the capital has no support from the Jiangnan Canal and the protection of the two rivers of Henan and Hebei, it is an isolated city and a place of death.
The chaos in Dakang broke out. No matter who it is, all those who occupy the capital have suffered great losses. From Cao Weiming to Song Wensong, later Lu Zheng, Song Naifeng, and now Tan Lei, whoever holds the capital will be unlucky. This shows that it seems to be a curse, but in fact it does have the roots and roots!
In the capital, Cao Weiming once again entered the palace to meet Long Zhaoyan. After the two met, Cao Weiming said, "Your Majesty, the time is getting ripe now. Tan Lei is guarding the capital, and his mind is getting heavier and anxious. It is obvious that the place in the capital is not as easy as he imagined. His mind must have also aimed at the two rivers. But now Song Naifeng is keeping a close eye on him. In addition, he and Song Naifeng are still harmonious on the surface, and they have not broken up!"
Long Zhaoyan nodded and said, "Yes, this is a good opportunity. Now His Highness the Princess has an army in Liaodong, and its strength is relatively strong. If we can secretly form a group of troops, our two armies will work together and Yuzhou will not be able to take over. Bianzhou should not be a big problem!
The capital I left is also an excellent opportunity for Tan Lei to gain Bianzhou. In this way, there will be cracks between the two rivers and Longyou, and our opportunity will come!"
When Cao Weiming heard Long Zhaoyan say this, he was so happy. Since his defeat, he has been neglected to join Song Naifeng and has always thought that one day he will make a comeback.
But after he lost all his family, it was not easy to make a comeback, so he took every step very hard.
However, now, after the sudden change in Jiangnan, the balance in the north has been broken, and the Central Plains has ushered in an unprecedented opportunity. The brothers of the Tiger Tan from Liaodong will not sit still and wait for death. Yue Feng's wings are becoming more and more abundant in Liaodong. Although Song Naifeng is the strongest at present, he has just regained the position of Longyou, and his mastery of the entire market is still flawed. In such a situation, Cao Weiming felt that his opportunity has come.
With the accurate letter from Long Zhaoyan, Cao Weiming immediately went to the royal palace to pay homage to Tan Lei. After the two met, Cao Weiming cried and said, "Brother Tan, I know that my brother is a person with a temperament. I, Cao Weiming, have nothing else to do today, I just hope that Brother Tan can finish me. I, Cao Weiming, had been working hard in the Lianghe River throughout my life, but I did the errands of the court, and I didn't mention these things.
The key is that since I defected to King Pingdong, I am not as good as death. The capital seems prosperous, but I feel like I am in a cage. This is a few years! This is the day to die. Brother Tan, why don’t you give me a pleasure instead of waiting for death like this? Let me leave comfortably and comfortable?"
Cao Weiming is an authentic acting player. His acting is a complaint on the surface, but in fact he is giving Tan Lei an eye drop! Since Tan Lei entered the capital, he has been depressed for so many days. Now he is guarding the capital, Song Naifeng makes a fortune in the two rivers, with all kinds of soldiers, horses, money and food. Moreover, Song Naifeng also occupied Longyou, and relying on Longyou to recruit soldiers for the foundation, it actually improves rapidly. If this continues, Tan Lei feels that his power will inevitably be swallowed up by Song Naifeng. If that is the case, Tan Lei will really live in vain in his life.
Tan Lei is also a hero. How could he just want to be a minister after he has paid so much? He also wants to strengthen his power and allow himself to grow step by step. When the local area is large enough, it is unknown that he will be the king and the emperor!
But in this situation, the huge capital is just a cage, and he can't abandon it or guard it. It's really difficult to advance and retreat and lose its authority.
Seeing Cao Weiming's pretentious behavior, Tan Lei certainly understood his general intention. He immediately laughed and said, "Brother Cao, you and I will be brothers in the future! Why do you have to act like this between you and me? Actually, you know my current situation. Although I have been named a prince, I don't want to call myself this prince.
I have a few soldiers in my hands, but only a few soldiers. When I woke up at dawn, the first thing I thought about was that these soldiers had to eat and drink. There were only so many people in the capital, and there were only so many soldiers that could be raised. I will not hide it from Brother Cao, now I am struggling and don’t know what to do!”
Tan Lei spread his hands and said, "Brother Cao, you are a person who has experienced it. You are a member of the truth. Tell me, what kind of way out can you and my brothers have together in this situation? This way, you and I can have a way out. From now on, you will have difficulties and share blessings. Is this good?"
Cao Weiming then wiped his tears and said, "Brother Tan, the capital is a cage, this is also the trap Song Naifeng has put on you! The capital looks majestic, but it is actually just an empty city! Just this place is as deep as the palm, with many people, many princes and nobles, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient. How can you have extra money and food to support your soldiers!
Song Naifeng took all the two rivers himself, and the east, west, south and north of the capital. Let Brother Tan guard the capital. He lifted you up high on the surface, but in fact, he was desperate. He could only turn back to him in shame!"
Tan Lei's face turned gloomy, he snorted softly, and said, "Brother Cao, I think you are a brother. You can't provoke your relationship with my prince! I, King Pingdong, are like brothers and sisters. How can you say this?"
Cao Weiming laughed and said, "Is it really a brother? Brother Tan, I will ask you something. Now Longyou has taken over. Is the King of Pingdong trying to join forces with the prince to take over Liaodong? It is said that Shandong has been in a hurry these days. Lu Zheng's little bastard sent troops from Liaodong to conquer Shandong. Hehe, Shandong is your confidant general, Brother Tan, you died like this. Can this revenge be avenged?"
Tan Lei suddenly stood up from the chair and slowly sat down again. Song Naifeng had met him before sending troops to Longyou. He was very polite at that time, saying that Longyou took it first, and then quickly led his troops to wipe out Liaodong and return Liaodong to Tan Lei.
Now Longyou has already taken it, and Song Naifeng's troops have soared to 300,000, but the matter in Liaodong has not been mentioned at all. The whole story can be understood even if you think about it for a moment!
Tan Lei looked ugly, Cao Weiming said: "Brother Tan, people are not punished for themselves and are now heroes. Now his wings are gradually becoming fuller. The next step may be to attack Brother Tan. Brother Tan's tens of thousands of people will eventually fall into his hands!
If Brother Tan wants to be a prince of Taiping for the rest of his life, now he will just write a letter with Song Naifeng and express his support. I think Song Naifeng will definitely be very happy. Maybe he will give you a fiefdom. Such a wealthy life is not bad!"
Tan Lei smiled and looked at Cao Weiming and said, "Brother Cao, why should you envy that life? Isn't Brother Cao just waiting for this situation now? Why did Brother Cao come to me to make a fuss?"
Cao Weiming laughed dryly and said, "Brother Tan is willing to be loyal to me. How could I, Cao Weiming, be a person who is ignorant of praise? Today, Cao came to solve his problems for Brother Tan!"
Cao Weiming paused and said, "You are not the only one who suffers Song Naifeng in the capital now. Your Majesty has suffered Song Naifeng for a long time. Brother Tan, you have this card in your hand. When are you still not required to stay at this time?
Now His Majesty is no longer willing to live in the capital. He wants to visit the Lianghe River. Why don’t Brother Tan move the capital to Bianzhou? With the power of Brother Tan’s hands, we will take advantage of the situation and take over Bianzhou. Once Bianzhou is captured, the two rivers will sooner or later be all the rivers will be in your hands. Brother Tan has a territory and a emperor in his hands. Could Song Naifeng become a traitor of Dakang and now he will betray the Daqian Dynasty?"
Cao Weiming talked freely, and he had already thought about these ideas. It was said that all kinds of thoughts were already familiar in his mind. Now he told them all, and only heard Tan Lei suddenly realized his goal and instantly found his goal!
Yes, isn’t Long Zhaoyan the best card to play? With Long Zhaoyan as a shield, Tan Lei could really suddenly attack Lianghe, and after taking Bianzhou, he quickly issued an order, saying that the Daqian Dynasty was going to move the capital, what could Song Naifeng do when he turned back?
Tan Lei was immersed in this thought. He thought about all kinds of tricks repeatedly. Finally, he said, "Brother Cao, what if King Pingdong is not bound by fixed laws and wants to seize the two rivers again?"
Cao Weiming sneered and said, "My prince, think about it, although Song Naifeng is strong now, he has not yet been able to fully control such a vast place as the Central Plains to Longyou!
Think about it, if something happens to the two rivers, is Lu Zheng from Liaodong a fuel-efficient lamp? Lu Zheng might have to sharpen his knife at this time and is only ready to send troops to pass the gate at any time!
If Song Naifeng really dares to turn against each other and attack the two rivers, Lu Zheng will definitely send troops. By that time, Song Naifeng will be attacked from both sides. Can he bear it?
So Brother Tan, I can be sure that as long as my brother dares to send troops, Song Naifeng will definitely not turn against him. If he doesn’t turn against him, what else can Brother Tan say? Occupying the two rivers and then holding the capital, then you can go south to the south of the Yangtze River! The world is changing, can Brother Tan see clearly?"
After hearing what Cao Weiming said, Tan Lei stopped expressing his opinion. After sending Cao Weiming away, he immediately discussed countermeasures with the advisers under his command.
Tan Lei's most caring adviser was named Qin and his name was Qin Xuan. He studied in the capital in his early years. He met Long Lingxiu by chance. Long Lingxiu recommended him to go to Liaodong, thus becoming the confidant of the Tan family.
Tan Lei had been neglected by him before because Qin Xuan firmly opposed Tan Lei's entry into the pass. At that time, Tan Lei was only interested in killing Lu Zheng. In addition, the capital was too tempted to him and he could hardly resist.
There is also an important reason. He felt that Qin Xuan and Long Lingxiu had a close relationship, and the rift between Long Lingxiu and him was growing. In such a situation, Tan Lei no longer trusted Qin Xuan's words.
As a result, the lesson was so painful that Tan Lei realized that Qin Xuan beside him was a talented and beautiful jade, and a loyal adviser, so he now obeyed Qin Xuan's plans.
When Qin Xuanyi heard Tan Lei talk about Cao Weiming's affairs, he immediately laughed and said, "Cao Weiming himself wants to take a way, this is the fundamental point. Prince, since that's the case, you can give Cao Weiming a way!"
Tan Lei said: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean? I really don't fully understand. Please give me some advice!"
Qin Xuan said: "Cao Weiming wants you to take Bianzhou, but what should you do after you send troops to Bianzhou? Also, if Bianzhou fails, Song Naifeng will be furious. Prince, you are injustice. He just said that he can send troops by clearing the king. Prince, are you sure that you can get rid of your body?
Cao Weiming was so excited that he was considering himself. He was not afraid of those who were barefoot, but just let him go. Prince, what is your identity? You are not yet time to break up with Song Naifeng and give him a try!"
Tan Lei said: "What should I do according to the sir? Do you have any good ideas?"
Qin Xuanyi smiled and said, "We still have tens of thousands of new soldiers in the capital, and there are thousands of imperial guards in the palace. Can these men be given to Cao Weiming!
Didn’t Cao Weiming want to seize Bianzhou? He asked him to train his troops and lead these 30,000 troops to take them. If he could get Bianzhou, he would blame him if he wanted to blame him. At that time, Your Majesty would leave the capital, and you would just be careless and make this matter complete. When Your Majesty arrived in Bianzhou, Song Naifeng would be afraid of the rats. Can he attack Bianzhou?
At this time, Cao Weiming will take out his ability to do the wealthy families in the Lianghe River and start to run Bianzhou. The Lianghe River Cao family has a deep foundation. After he sorts out, you can go from behind. Hehe, can someone else pick the peaches in the Lianghe River?"
Tan Lei was extremely excited when Qin Xuan said this. He immediately understood that if Cao Weiming wanted to use him, he could also use Cao Weiming! Cao Weiming is now a commander and has no one under his command. Then he can give Cao Weiming tens of thousands of crooked melons and jujubes to him!
Even if Cao Weiming can't make a name for himself in the Two Rivers, it can make Song Naifeng not so easy to rise quickly, which is beneficial to him!
Cao Weiming's Cao family is a big family in the Two Rivers. Cao Weiming has methods to that side. If he really transforms the Two Rivers, the soldiers under Cao Weiming are all from Tan Lei. Can the vast fertile fields and people in the Two Rivers be left without their surnames?
