Du Yinxi was quietly waiting for He Tengjiao to make a decision. The most important part of this plan was to convince Zuo Liangyu that He Tengjiao would come forward no matter what.
After a long time, He Tengjiao sighed and said, "Let's give it a try."
Du Yinxi was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said, "When Futai comes forward, Ningnan Hou will definitely adopt this plan."
"I hope so." He Tengjiao arched his hands towards Nanjing and said, "I'm all for the court and for the emperor. Zhongyan also helps me with a testimony."
"The emperor is willing to help the saddle of the platform."
......
......
Ningnan Hou Mansion.
Zuo Liangyu was playing with a jade Ruyi, and a servant came to report it. He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, invited him.
Zuo Liangyu put down Yu Ruyi and asked in a deep voice: "What can Governor He say is for?"
"Report to the master, the person who passed the message only said that there were extremely urgent matters."
Zuo Liangyu twisted her beard and shouted: "Prepare the horse!"
After a while, Zuo Liangyu, under the service of a group of personal soldiers, turned over and rode the horse and headed towards the governor's office.
Seeing a team of cavalry coming in dust, the people on the streets along the way went to the side with great tactfulness.
It goes without saying that he must be from the General's Mansion if he dares to run so unscrupulously in Wuchang City.
If the people from the General Office were knocked down and trampled to death, it would be a waste of death. Will the governor's yamen offend the General Office for the lives of one or two promoted people?
A group of dozens of riders galloped along the way, and in a short while he arrived at the governor's yamen.
Zuo Liangyu kicked the stirrup and jumped off the horse's back lightly, throwing the whip to a door that was coming forward without waiting for the notification. He strides towards the gate of the governor's yamen.
How dare the disciple offend these ancestors? He greeted them with a smile and asked someone to help Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers tie the horses.
Zuo Liangyu walked through the hall and came to the back yamen. When he saw He Tengjiao dancing his sword in the yard, he walked forward.
"Smack!"
He clapped three times in a row and laughed loudly, "He Futai's sword technique is really sharp, Zuo admires it."
Seeing Zuo Liangyu coming, He Tengjiao quickly put his sword in the sheath, shook his head and said, "I'm going to make a joke about the Marquis. Please sit in the house."
He Tengjiao made a gesture of asking forward with one arm, but Zuo Liangyu didn't let him go and walked straight forward.
The two entered the flower hall one by one, and another one behind, and another servant brought the best chrysanthemum tea. He Tengjiao took a sip and said, "How about it, this chrysanthemum tea tastes like the marquis?"
Zuo Liangyu also took a sip, closed her eyes and savored the taste: "The taste of this chrysanthemum tea is really clear, but Zuo is not used to drinking, so Zuo still likes to drink."
"Haha, here, bring up the good daughter Hong from the jar that I treasured!"
He Tengjiao was also very happy and immediately ordered someone to get the wine.
He opened the mud seal himself, poured a glass for Zuo Liangyu and said, "Mr. Marquis tastes this wine."
Zuo Liangyu took the wine glass and raised her neck and drank it all. She felt her throat burning and very happy.
"It's still exciting to drink, He Futai, I'll give this jar of wine to Zuo?"
He Tengjiao nodded slightly and said, "Not to mention a jar, even if the marquis wants to move all the aged wines in his official cellar, he will not frown."
"That's not possible, a gentleman won't take away what he likes."
Zuo Liangyu dropped the bag of Ju Shubao very proudly and said, "He Futai is also a person who likes to drink. Zuo will take a jar."
He Tengjiao gently stroked his beard and said in a harmonious voice: "I still feel sorry for the bitterness of Qin hemorrhoids, and I will not let Chu wine sink. There is good wine in Chu, and Jiangling wine is particularly strong. Unfortunately, I and the marquis can't taste it."
Although Zuo Liangyu is a rough man, how can he not hear He Tengjiao have a hidden meaning?
He coughed and said, "He Futai first dances swordsmanship and then recites poetry, which makes Zuo confused. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."
"Happy, the Marquis is indeed a cheerful person!"
He Tengjiao bowed toward Nanjing with his hands: "The Holy Emperor is in power and is determined to restore the mountains and rivers of Daming. As a minister, it is his duty to share the worries for the king. Although this official is not talented, he also knows that Huguang is the granary of the world. Now the thieves occupy Guanzhong, and their subordinate Baizhe occupied the four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, De'an and Chengtian. The white thieves use the grain produced in the four prefectures to continuously supply the thieves in Guanzhong, which allows the thieves to have the strength to fight against the court. If the marquis leads his troops to seize the four prefectures, relying solely on Guanzhong, the thieves will starve to death sooner or later."
He Tengjiao's analysis is not unreasonable.
Guanzhong has a narrow land and a dense population, so there is no enough food to eat.
Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely not be able to maintain it by relying solely on Guanzhong's grain production.
Therefore, for a long time, Li Zidian relied on Bai Wang's troops to transport the grain from the four prefectures of Huguang to Guanzhong to fill holes.
If Li Zicheng lost his territory in Huguang, his morale may be disintegrating and he would be disbanded without the need for the court to send troops to fight.
In the morning, we seek promotion and in the evening, it is difficult for the poor man to survive recently.
I opened the door early to worship the King of Breaking, and I was happy to discipline the big and small.
Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and mud, open the city gate to welcome the King of Chuang. The King of Chuang will not pay food when he comes.
If you eat his mother, she will not eat enough, and you will be the King of Break.
If you don’t work as a job or pay food, you will live a happy life.
This is a limerick poem that has been widely circulated in Li Zicheng's uprising. The core of it is that Li Chuang can lead everyone to have a full meal.
But if this promise cannot be fulfilled, what will those who defect to Li Zicheng react? Will they still follow Li Zicheng?
Of course not!
In troubled times, it is a mother. No matter whether it is Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong or the court, everyone will support anyone who can make everyone have enough food.
If Zuo Liangyu drove Bai Wang away, it would be like cutting off the firewood from the cauldron and cutting off Li Zicheng's way of life.
He Tengjiao said so clearly that Zuo Liangyu could no longer pretend to be confused.
He and He Tengjiao have been having a good time for a long time, and he even thought that He Tengjiao was a wonderful person.
The two of them also support the Donglin Party and have the same political stance.
The two also have a tacit understanding in the distribution of power for specific matters.
Apart from his own governor, Biaoying, He Tengjiao was almost completely inseparable from military power, and was only responsible for civil and political affairs.
Zuo Liangyu has an army of hundreds of thousands and has become the well-deserved military leader in Huguang.
He Tengjiao needs Zuo Liangyu's support to firmly take up the position of governor of Huguang, and Zuo Liangyu also needs He Tengjiao's identity to maintain his relationship with the Donglin Party.
Both of them have always used common interests.
But today, He Tengjiao did something stupid.
What are the benefits of recapturing the four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian and De'an?
He Tengjiao may be promoted to the Governor of Huguang for his merits, but is it possible for him to be promoted to Zuo Liangyu?
The general is already the pinnacle of military officers.
As for the title, he was already the Marquis of Ningnan, and there was only the Duke of the Kingdom. In addition to Taizu, Chengzu granted the title of Duke of the Founding Kingdom and Jingnan's meritorious minister. Can the kings of the subsequent dynasties be willing to give the Duke of the Ministry of Justice?
