Of course, Wu Zongda is not like Zhang Zhicheng. He is not as stupid as Zhang Fengyi. He thinks that a local chaebol like the Liu family will become his own disciple because he said a few words. It is impossible to act according to his own words.
It's not pleasant to say that the Liu family is much larger than Zhang Fengyi's family. How can he become their disciple because Zhang Fengyi said a few words for him? Wu Zongda believes that in order to make the Liu family obey orders, we must know their strong relationship and induce them to benefit.
For example, when he asked Liu Bu to send troops this time, he promised an advantage, that is to let his father Liu Yuanqiao hang the title of minister of the Ministry of war and officially become one of the capital officials, which gives it more room for development.
Liu Bu still said that. The other party was his boss in name, so he didn't dare to openly resist the orders of his superiors, but he had all kinds of ways to delay. He agreed to send troops to eliminate the exiled bandits, but he needed time, money and food, and a lot of messy things.
Wu Zongda is also a mature person. He also knows the way these old slickers behave. He knows that the other party certainly does not dare to publicly refuse his orders, but whether the other party is willing to do it depends on whether he will implement it immediately. If the other party goes to war immediately, he will naturally obey his orders. If the other party agrees on the surface, Secretly put forward various conditions, which is actually delaying, but I don't want to go.
Wu Zongda also knows that he wants the other party to go out and fight desperately. It's not good not to give some benefits. The bad thing is Zhang Fengyi, a bird man. He accepted the Liu family's silver and strongly recommended Liu Bu to serve as the chief soldier. Since Liu Bu has already served as the chief soldier and is already a first-class military officer, it's not easy to impress him.
If Liu Bu was only a general, he could be appointed to the post of chief soldier and let him fight hard. Now, Liu Bu became the chief soldier early. He was not interested in other things. Wu Zongda understood that if he didn't give the other party good points, the other party couldn't go out to fight, but he was young, You can't give him a governor or a bigger governor, can you?
Of course, Wu Zongda belongs to the second deputy of the cabinet and the imperial envoy minister. He has great authority in local areas and has great guidance and leadership over local officials. The other party dare not openly refuse him, which shows the situation.
Although there is a saying that the emperor does not send hungry soldiers, but his emperor sent you hungry soldiers, you still have to go. When he saw that the other party did not dare to refuse, he put forward all kinds of conditions, said all kinds of words, and refused to say a frank word, he was a little angry. He said: "General Liu, to tell you the truth, when can Liu Jiajun go out as soon as possible and when can you go to Shaanxi to suppress bandits?"
Liu Bu said the same thing. He said, "it takes time for our army to assemble, and the army is out. This man eats horses and needs food. It takes time to prepare. What's more, it's almost winter now. Our army goes north. The cotton padded jacket we wear in this winter and all kinds of tents to keep out the cold. How should we deal with it?"
In fact, the questions raised by Liu Bu are also a problem. In fact, when the army is fighting, it is just logistics support. Now the Ming court often orders you to fight, and won't care about other things.
In the eyes of these emperors or cabinet dignitaries, they are only responsible for caring about national affairs, dealing with these major events, and dispatching troops. As for the small things such as what these soldiers eat and wear, they should not be in charge of them, but the general in charge of your soldiers. If you can't manage these small things well, what kind of general should you be?
According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, if the army goes out to fight, it usually pays two military salaries. One is paid by the original army, and the other is paid by the place where he is fighting. That is to say, when he hits Fengyang now, he will pay one military salary in Shandong, and the place will allocate one to them. In Fengyang, there is a colorful world, so it is necessary to collect one military salary for them, that is, one But now they are going to the north. Now the North has begun to cool down, snow and cold. Moreover, after years of war, many places have been turned into white land and there are no people for decades. Where should he raise food and grass? Where should he raise military pay?
Liu Bu's Liu family army is different from another strong army Tianxiong army. Tianxiong army has a powerful place, that is, there is a very powerful leader Lu Xiangsheng. He is very good at fooling others. Liu Bu has no such ability. Liu Bu wants to deceive others to fight desperately. He can only use money and food, welfare and benefits, but this governor Lu Xiangsheng can Through some empty things, people will be forced to fight desperately without eating or drinking. Just because of the great righteousness of the imperial court, they can order soldiers to fight desperately for him. Such officers and soldiers are the favorite of the imperial court, but Liu Bu didn't learn such skills.
Of course, this also has something to do with Lu Xiangsheng's background. He was born as a serious scholar. In the Ming Dynasty, the scholar's background is called a decent one, and he is the best talent. Like Liu Yuanqiao, he was born as a sprout supervisor of the Imperial College. As for Liu Bu, who was born in the army, he is even worse. It is very unusual for him to be a chief soldier, like Lu Xiangsheng This kind of birth can be promoted and reused at any time.
Liu Bu's behavior now also makes Wu Zongda very angry. If Lu Xiangsheng of the Tianxiong army didn't say a word, he would immediately lead his army to fight against the roving bandits. Liu Bu was good. He didn't say war. He had to eat and drink first. To put it bluntly, he refused to fight for the imperial court because he wanted benefits, He refused to go to war without benefit.
Gao Wang hopes that Liu Bu will get out of Yangzhou and leave here. He can dominate Yangzhou and openly plunder more money here. You know, Gao Wang has poked a big hole. Now he can only think about filling the hole. He is thinking about collecting more taxes.
Liu Jiajun of Liu Bu is here. It's a little difficult for him to collect taxes unscrupulously, because Liu Jiajun has to be included no matter how he collects them. Now Liu Jiajun is guarding here. Another trouble is that they will stop collecting taxes indiscriminately. Except for the one allowed by the imperial court, they prohibit all kinds of exorbitant taxes and assessments, To put it bluntly, Liu Jiajun has become a stumbling block to their wealth here, so he wants them to go away.
Liu Jiajun is here. They can't make a fortune or swallow it alone. If Liu Jiajun is not here, they can do whatever they want.
Gao Wang was very happy when he had common interests with Liu Jiajun, but he was very angry and unhappy when he watched Liu Jiajun stop them from getting rich and doing things like bullying and increasing taxes.
Liu Jiajun has the support of the Liu family in Linqing Dynasty and can stabilize the situation. He hopes highly, but he doesn't have such a backstage and backer. In order to fill that huge hole, he has done his best and tried his best. So now he hopes Liu Bu will leave and make him rich. Therefore, he has come to lobby with Wu Zongda and hopes Liu Bu will leave. Of course, he said very high profile, I hope Liu Bu will go out to work for the imperial court and for all the people in the world.
Liu Bu greeted Wu Zongda with a smiling face, but Gao Wang, the governor of Yangzhou, his face immediately cooled down. It was not the first time he didn't bird Gao Wang, and the other party was a little used to it. However, seeing Liu Bu in front of Wu Zongda, he greeted Wu Zongda with a smiling face, saying good or bad, but Gao Wang immediately blacked the ground, which made Gao Wang lose face, So that the high-profile and beautiful words in his mouth could not go on.
Liu Bu saw that the other party couldn't go on, so he said coldly, "continue to make it up, but make it up vigorously."
Gao Wang can't stand the other party's attitude even if he doesn't want face anymore. He thinks he's hot face on his cold ass today.
This is Wu Zhongda's business. It has nothing to do with him. Liu Bu didn't dare to make his face to Wu Zhongda, but he made his face to him, which made him very unhappy. But Liu Bu has military power, and he didn't dare to do anything to Liu bu. It's just flattering and beautiful words on the surface.
Looking up at him, he said, "why did general Liu sneer at our house?"
Liu Bu said to him, "you don't know why Ben will speak coldly to you?"
Gao Wang said, "I don't know."
Liu Bu said coldly, "there are many versions of the story about incubating silver in Jiangnan. Ben will also lose more than one million liang of silver in this matter. He is one of the victims, but some people say that this thing was planned by general Ben." Liu Bu said here, his eyes showed fierce light and stared at each other fiercely.
Gao Wang saw the other party's terrible appearance, and his forehead was sweating. He said with a strong smile, "I don't know which bastard said it. In this way, unfounded things can be said. Who doesn't know that General Liu, you lost a lot of money and ate a lot of money from old Liu..."
Liu Bu said coldly, "don't you know? General Ben thought you knew very well?"
Looking up at him, he said with a strong smile, "how can our house know? If we know who is spreading rumors, we will cut off his head and let him know not to talk nonsense and spread rumors."
Liu Bu said coldly, "is that true?"
Looking up, he had to say, "seriously."
Liu Bu saw that the other party was so sure of what he said, so he slapped him. After he slapped him, his confidant Liu Kang immediately brought a man in. Liu Kang was also a tall man. Carrying this man directly came in like an eagle carrying a chicken and threw it in front of Gao Wang. The other party wanted to escape, but Liu Kang kicked his ass, And rolled to the foot of high hope.
When Gao Wang looks at this person, it is his housekeeper Gao Song and his brother Gao Shu. The other party catches this person. Gao Wang knows that the food is bad.
