Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 13
Hedong
Luzhou City

"You...are Zhao Laosan?"

"Zhao Kuangmei, the third son of the Zhao family, has met General Li."

"Hmm... Xiao Zhao has given birth to three good sons. Sit down, I wonder what my nephew has come to see me in Luzhou all the way."

"Everyone in the world is in a state of turmoil, and they are all asking my brother to take a step forward. Only Luzhou is silent, so I came here to take a look."

"Are you here to force me to write a persuasion form?"

"I don't dare to use a forced word, it's please."

"Hmph! Junior, did you know that even my father, Zhao Hongyin, has a lot more qualifications than me. Zhao Kuangyin, haha, he is a young boy who has only been fighting for a few years, but he only relied on luck to gain a little bit of success. He wants me to surrender to him even though he has some military achievements? He even wore crotchless pants when I was fighting!"

Zhao Kuangmei was not annoyed and said with a smile: "General Li was already a talented general in the army when Li Cunxu was in power. In the Later Tang Dynasty, he served as the commander of the He Controlling Army. In terms of qualifications, it seems that among the people alive in the world today, Only King Fu Yanqing of Wei can rival you. It's a pity that times have changed. It's destiny. General Li is far away from the supreme power in the world. Although my brother is young, maybe... he is just lucky. "

When Li Jun heard what Zhao Kuangmei said, he couldn't help but feel good for a moment, and even looked at Zhao Kuangmei with pleasure. After snorting coldly, he arranged for Zhao Kuangmei to sit down in front of him, and asked his son Li Shoujie to cook. A few cups of tea came.

Li Jun is a person who pays special attention to qualifications. If you discuss your qualifications with him, he will like you very much.

Of course, this is also because there is almost no one with more senior qualifications than him in the world. There is only one Fu Yanqing. But Fu Yanqing has already retired and is now the king of Wei. Although the military power of the Tianxiong Army is still firmly It is in the hands of the Fu family, but he himself has retired in Luoyang. He spends his days hunting, listening to music, and playing with girls. He lives a very leisurely life, which is fundamentally different from other generals.

But I heard Zhao Kuangmei smile and say: "General Li, no, I'd better call you uncle. Uncle, you are not convinced by my eldest brother. This is understandable. To be honest, if I were you, I would not be convinced either. You are What qualifications, what qualifications does he have? The supreme position in the world, why can't it be you?"

"You little brat, you do know how to talk."

This Li Jun didn't talk nonsense about being loyal to the Later Zhou Dynasty. After all, he became a commander during the Later Tang Dynasty. If he was really a loyal minister, he should have died as early as the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In fact, in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, it was ridiculous to discuss loyalty with military generals, so Li Jun didn't show any hesitation at all.

There is no such thing as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. To put it bluntly, he just thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is junior and a junior. There is no other reason. To put it more bluntly, I haven't rebelled yet, so why is it your turn?Do you understand what seniority is?
But I heard Zhao Kuangmei say: "But uncle, no matter what, this is an internal matter among us Han people. Even if you raise an army to rebel against my eldest brother, it will be a showdown between the two of you, but... you rebelled That's the opposite, why should the Khitans be involved? Isn't this inappropriate? Brothers are fighting, even if it's life and death, how can they surrender to outsiders?"

Li Jun was stunned when he heard this: "What Khitans? What does this have to do with Khitans?"

"Uncle, is it boring to pretend to be confused at this time? Everyone in the world knows it, and it has been spread throughout the world. It is said that you want to carry out the old affairs of Emperor Shi Jingtang, and intend to recognize Emperor Yelujing of Liao Kingdom as your adoptive father and offer Taihang Natural Insurance. With the Liao, we will cut off all the land north of the Yellow River in the Great Zhou Dynasty, while the Liao Kingdom will send troops to help you defeat my eldest brother, station in Kaifeng, and take over the world. Now, I don’t dare to call you uncle again, Li Jun, Oh no, it’s Yeluyun, do you want to be infamy for eternity?”

When Li Jun heard this, he became anxious and banged the table: "You fart! Who wants to be the emperor? Who wants to be Shi Jingtang? I have been fighting with the Khitans all my life. When Yelu Deguang came to dominate the Central Plains, It was our brothers who joined forces to defeat the Hou Han Dynasty established by the Khitan Hulu. Why on earth did I collude with the Khitan? This is nonsense, you kid, don’t talk nonsense if you are not sensible."

Zhao Kuangmei pretended to be surprised and said: "Really? But this matter is now known to everyone in Kaifeng City. Even on my way here... I heard people spreading it throughout Hedong." "There are also people in Hedong. pass?"

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to inquire. It's said everywhere in the market. As the saying goes, there may be no reason for a rumor to come out of nowhere. Yeluyun, do you dare to say that you have a clear conscience and that this matter is completely based on speculation?"

"How is this possible?"

Just at this time, Li Shoujie came with a pot of hot tea, looking very happy: "Dad, Third Young Master, the hot tea is here. This is fine tea from Fujian. Haha, let's take care of it if anything happens." Let’s talk about it, we are all generals, there is no knot that cannot be broken.”

Li Shoujie himself was the biggest opposition around Li Jun. He really didn't want to fight Zhao Kuangyin at all. In history, he was almost going to be Zhao Kuangyin's leader.

After all, it was his father, Li Jun, who had the qualifications, not him. The old man was half buried in the ground and was about to be sealed, so this was a big deal.

Hurry up and write the form of persuasion, so that even if their family loses military power in the future, they will definitely be able to enjoy the glory and wealth. But if they raise an army, what can Luzhou do to fight against Zhao Kuangyin's Kaifeng Forbidden Army?
Since the restructuring of Chai Rong, most of the elites in the world have fled to Kaifeng. Jiedushi has long been no longer qualified to challenge the central government. Do you still think this is the past?
Besides, if you take a step back, if you really succeed, what's the benefit?How many days can you be this emperor?

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has been replaced by so many dynasties and emperors. Is it useful?It's useless, no one has the ability to know.

Zhu Wen, Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan, Guo Wei, which one is not an outstanding person of the generation?The results of it?
Zhu Wen was killed by his own son, Li Cunxu died in a mutiny, Li Siyuan was killed by his adopted son, and all the later Jin Dynasties and Liang Dynasties died in the second generation. Te Niang was the only one in the five generations who successfully succeeded me and survived. Chai Rong was the only one who died!
Then now Chai Rong also died and was replaced by Zhao Kuangyin.

Why are you trying to steal this broken throne from him?Even if you really robbed it, how many years do you still have to live?Is there enough time to train me to take over?I'm afraid that as a son, I will most likely end up like Liu Chengyou, right?

Why are you robbing him?

He even felt that the reason why the generals of the Forbidden Army supported Zhao Kuangyin was precisely because he was young enough, so that he had the time and opportunity to train the next generation and arrange his affairs. Otherwise, the world would not always be in this chaos. Damn it, not to mention the common people have had enough, even he, the son of a dignified military governor, feels that it is a little unbearable.

So at this time, Zhao Kuangyin actually sent his own brother to personally persuade him to surrender. In Li Shoujie's view, this was quite sincere.

Although my father is dissatisfied, he is actually not that firm in his opposition. Is it just a letter of advice? It seems that there is great hope.

But he saw that his father suddenly went crazy and suddenly swept the tea tray he placed on the table to the ground.

"What...what's wrong, father?"

"What the hell are you drinking tea for? Your father and I are almost turning into Yeluyun! Immediately, send someone to the market to find out if there is any news in Luzhou City that I want to collude with the Khitan?"
