Chapter 425 The King of Wu is terrible

Li Ju smiled and said, "Duke Xuan has been worried too much! I think that the King of Wu can temporarily serve as the governor of Liangzhou!"

Zhou Neng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the prince should not be appointed as the governor of the state."

"oh?"

"The prince is already in a high position and power. If he is appointed as the governor of the state again, he will undoubtedly be powerful and once he has a second heart..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Yuan couldn't help but say, "The King of Wu had just quelled the Liangzhou Rebellion, made great contributions to the court, and Your Majesty. But Duke Xuan is now slandering the King of Wu. What is his intention?"

Li Ju's face, which was originally smiling, became gloomy at this time, and he looked at Zhou Neng coldly.

Zhou Neng snorted and said loudly: "Everyone knows that Duke Zhenguo and King Wu are relatives, but Duke Zhenguo does not have to favor the King of Wu so much and protect them everywhere.

Now, I really can't see clearly whether your Duke Zhenguo is His Majesty's minister or the King of Wu!"

Tao Yuan was furious when he heard this, but he had always been serious and did not reveal anything even if he was angry.

He asked slowly, "Xuan Guogong believes that who can succeed the position of governor of Liangzhou?"

Zhou Neng sneered and said, "There are countless capable ministers in the court."

Tao Yuan asked: "Is Cao Ren a capable minister?"

"this……"

Zhou can be speechless.

Although Cao Ren colluded with the Nine Kings to rebel, no one could deny that Cao Ren was extremely capable and was a good player in both politics and military affairs.

Tao Yuan continued to ask: "Is Cao Ren a loyal minister?"

“…”

Zhou Neng was speechless again.

Before Cao Ren rebelled in Liangzhou, no one doubted his loyalty to Li Ju.

He was originally a staff member of the Prince's Mansion. He went from a commoner to a state patriarch and a chief official in the border area. Do he still need to question his loyalty to Li Ju?

But the facts proved that even such a capable and extremely loyal person eventually betrayed the court, colluded with the Nine Kings, and rebelled.

Another capable minister was sent to Liangzhou to serve as the governor of Liangzhou. Who would guarantee that he would not become the second Cao Ren?

Seeing that Zhou Neng was speechless by Tao Yuan, Li Ju's face finally calmed down a little.

He said word by word: "I, trust my 17th brother's loyalty to me, I, trust my brothers and brothers! If anyone dares to criticize the King of Wu, no matter who he is, even if he is a royal relative, I will still be severely punished!"

Li Ju knew very well how to be slandered by rumors, so when Zhou Nai said that Li Yu might feel unjust, he immediately ignited the anger in Li Ju's heart.

His words seemed to be saying to the ministers, but in fact, they were only directed at Zhou Neng alone.

How could Zhou Neng not understand? He sighed inwardly, bowed to Li Ju, and quietly retreated back to his seat.

After the court dispersed, Zhou Neng quickly caught up with Tao Yuan and said, "Mr. Tao, I was in the court just now, and I was not targeting you on purpose!"

Tao Yuan smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

It is normal for different political concepts to have different differences and debates when there are serious words. Tao Yuan would not take this little thing to heart.

Zhou Neng said meaningfully: "However, I really don't agree with letting King Wu take over the post of Liangzhou's governor!"

Tao Yuan turned to look at Zhou Neng and asked curiously: "Don't Zhou Gong trust King Wu so much?"

Zhou Neng blinked, was silent for a moment, and nodded.

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "I think Duke Zhou is too worried! Your Majesty and the King of Wu have deep affection. In my opinion, no matter when, the King of Wu will not rebel against His Majesty!"

Zhou Neng glanced at Tao Yuan deeply, trying to see from Tao Yuan's face whether these words were his heartfelt words or his perfunctory words.

After a while, he suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Can you?

Didn’t Mr. Tao think King Wu is scary?”

"ah?"

horrible?

Zhou Neng’s words confused Tao Yuan?

Why is it scary, King Li Yu of Wu?

Seeing Tao Yuan looking at him with a confused and surprised look, Zhou Neng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It’s really a mess if you care about yourself!

Tao Yuan, such a very smart person, would not even notice it.

He said earnestly: "The terrible thing about the King of Wu is that he didn't know when he started. Every step he took seemed to be in the most correct position!"

This is really terrible.

If Li Yu hadn't been gifted and talented, then there would have been a master's advice around him.

Or, both!

After saying this, Zhou Neng glanced at Tao Yuan again, said nothing more, but just shook his head and walked away.

Looking at Zhou Neng's departure, Tao Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After Zhou Neng reminded me, and after careful consideration, I suddenly realized that Zhou Neng’s concerns seemed to be unreasonable.

I don’t know when it started, but Li Yu gradually became less ridiculous and more outstanding, and the most critical point is that as Zhou Neng said, every step he took seemed to have never missed...

Tao Yuan stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, a smile appeared on his face.

Li Yu is his prospective son-in-law. The better Li Yu becomes, the better his daughter will be. Isn’t this a good thing?

Li Yu's performance in Liangzhou can be said to have completely won Li Ju's trust.

It is precisely because of this that Li Ju did not send any ministers to Liangzhou to take over as the governor of the prefecture, but instead asked Li Yu to serve as the governor of Liangzhou as the governor of Liangzhou.

On the day Li Yu arrived in Liangzhou City, good news came from the Boy tribe, and Shen Fang defeated the Taungzhi tribe army.

Now, the remnants of the Taungzhi Tribe Army have all withdrawn from the territory of the Boy Tribe.

After receiving this battle report, Li Yu was a little overwhelmed.

You should know that Shen Fang only led a thousand people and stayed on the south bank of Wenghe River.

On the north bank of the Weng River, there are a 100,000 Tamzhi tribe army.

The huge difference in military strength between the two sides can only be described as the difference between the clouds and mud.

But Shen Fang relied on a mere thousand troops to not only defend the south bank of Wenghe, but also defeated the 100,000 Tamzhi tribe army. How did he do it?

Li Yu hurriedly opened the battle report and looked carefully.

At the beginning, Shen Fang asked Luqi to help create a large bed crossbow to kill the Taungzhi tribe army on the other side.

Li Yu felt that this was completely unnecessary. After all, the crossbow is dead, and the human beings live. The enemy troops on the other side cannot stay on the shore, and at worst they can retreat.

The question that Li Yu could think of was such a shrewd Shen Fang, would he not have imagined?

What he wanted was to force the Taungzhi tribe army stationed on the bank of the Weng River into the jungle near the north bank.

It is midsummer now, the weather is dry and the trees are greased under the scorching sun, which can be said to be stained with fire.

After Li Yu took away the main force of the border army, Shen Fang led a thousand border troops and continued to stay in the Nan'an camp.

He waited for more than ten days, and the Taungchi tribe army built almost the rafts used to cross the river. Late one night, he personally led the thousand soldiers who were selected by him and had excellent water quality.

Everyone used cowhide as airbags, swam quietly across the Weng River, and sneaked into the north shore.

Chen Fang and others avoided the post on the shore and came to the forest where the Taungzhi tribe army was stationed. After that, everyone set a fire among the woods.

This fire directly turned the forest stationed by the Taungzhi tribe army into a sea of ​​fire.
