Chapter 153 Control the four counties of Liangzhou!(1/2)
?
Fighting in troubled times is actually a Game of Thrones.
This is the reason for fighting with these aristocratic families.
Whoever can hold power can decide whoever lives and dies, whoever can play with the most beautiful women, eat the best dishes, drink the best wine, and live in the most luxurious palace.
The aristocratic families of the four counties in Liangzhou were eaten by Cao Chong at the beginning. How can we resist Cao Chong now?
I can't resist at all!
Now they have no second way to go except to surrender!
This is also the reason why Cao Chong is so tough with these people.
The aristocratic families in Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County now have no soldiers, no food, and even the people they rely on for survival are attracted by Cao Chong's policy of not paying taxes. The decline of the population has undoubtedly hit the foundation of the aristocratic families.
The strongest foundations of the aristocratic family began to shake, let alone other things.
After sending out the aristocratic family with a dark face, Cao Chong took pictures of the dust on his official uniform and was about to return to the inner courtyard, but as if he had thought of something, Cao Chong stopped first.
Several days have passed now, and people from Dunhuang County have come to show weakness. Why are people from Jiuquan County not coming to show weakness?
Cao Chong immediately thought of the Linghu family in Jiuquan County.
It just so happened that this woman from Linghu, Jiuquan County, was about to see her.
Cao Chong walked out of the lobby of the outer courtyard and said to Guo Xiao behind him: "Opinion, go and take Linghu Mei to Meilin Pavilion to wait for me."
Guo Xiao bowed to Cao Chong and immediately arranged related matters.
Cao Chong fiddled with the giant sword Zhanlu in his hand, his eyes were thoughtful, and finally put the sword down.
Cao Chong slowly walked to Meilin Pavilion, while Wei Yan and Zhou Dufu changed the rhythm according to the pace of Cao Chong's walking, and followed Cao Chong tightly.
The small plum tree pavilion can only show its charm in winter. When early spring is getting thicker, the plum blossoms wither and bear small green fruits, which will lose the elegance of the plum blossoms.
However, the charm of early spring is also revealed in this small lake.
There are some green flowers and plants by the small lake, and the willows along the way have also begun to swell. With the sparkling small lake water, the scenery has the elegance of spring.
Before Cao Chong arrived, Linghu Mei was already standing on it.
Compared with before, Linghu Mei dressed much more conservatively today.
Wrap every part of the body firmly and deliberately prevent spring light from leaking out.
Of course, the beautiful colors have not passed away much, but there are more other feelings.
Cao Chong patted the dust on his body and handed Zhan Lu to Wei Yan. The latter took Zhan Lu with both hands, walked down carefully, and hugged Zhan Lu in his arms with both hands.
"Miss wants to meet this marquis, I don't know what is important?"
"The Lord is as straightforward as ever. However, since there are important things to discuss, the Lord has to prepare wine and food. Otherwise, even if the beautiful scenery here is pleasant, if you keep talking, it will inevitably be a bit boring."
Cao Chong shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss, I think it's time to talk for a long time?"
"There are more than 100,000 people in Jiuquan County. I think there is no need to talk about it?"
Cao Chong thought for a while, clapped his hands, and Zhou Dufu stood up immediately.
"June."
"Go and prepare a dish and bring some more wine, the strongest wine!"
Hearing Cao Chong's words, Ling Hu Mei smiled and her whole body became charming.
She walked a few steps forward and got closer to Cao Chong. Cao Chong was still in motion, but he said it.
"Miss, the scenery here is pleasant, and in public, it is better for the girl to behave more dignified."
Ling Humei covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "I know that the Meilin Pavilion is close to the inner courtyard and close to the wife of Junhou, but Junhou shouldn't be afraid of being like this, right?"
Cao Chong used his hand to lift Linghu Mei's jaw. The latter was not only not afraid, but also glared at Cao Chong in a protest, as if he was teasing, and as if a woman was provoking a man.
"Do you think I dare not touch you because of the wife of the inner courtyard?"
"Isn't it?"
Cao Chong glanced at Linghumei, suddenly laughed, and put down his hand holding Linghumei.
"Of course not, but I think you, a woman, even if you go to my husband's bed, may be something else in your mind. Instead of doing anything, it's better to do nothing. Does the girl think that my husband lacks women, those young, beautiful and skilled women?"
"If you want me to treat you wholeheartedly on the bed, then that's fine. You can come and try it."
Such a woman is really fierce!
However, it is in line with the temperament of Liangzhou.
Barbaric and unruly. Compared with the Central Plains where the civilized fire seeds have been sown for thousands of years, Liangzhou has been integrated into the blood of the Han people.
"It's a pity that I don't want to. Forget it, let's not let Lang Lei's time be in these words. Your and my time is very precious."
Cao Chong's words made Linghu Mei suddenly feel a little discouraged, but she immediately restrained her emotions.
"The Lord and the Marquis are indeed different from ordinary people."
Cao Chong had no other expressions to Linghu Mei's words except for a little smile.
While Cao Chong and Linghu Mei were having a dispute, the maid also brought the food and accompanied it with two jars of strong wine.
A jar of wine is a fountain of immortality, and a jar is a fountain of immortality.
They are all the spirits among the spirits.
Cao Chong poured Linghumei a bottle of wine, then a bottle of wine for himself, and raised his glass and said, "Don't waste a table of wine and food. Not to mention that you can't enjoy these wine and food in Jiuquan County, you can't enjoy them in Yecheng, Yangzhou, or any corner of the world except where this marquis is."
The one placed in front of Cao Chong Linghu Mei was naturally the cuisine of Cao Chong later Ming. Such cooking methods were advanced in this era. The charm of cooking was enough to conquer these people who had eaten such a dish for the first time.
Linghu Mei is also here.
Chinese, whether they are ancient Chinese or later Chinese, whether you are poor or rich, one thing that everyone has in common is that they are thirsty for food. This is the same for every Chinese.
After eating Cao Chong's bite of the dish, Ling Humei couldn't help but continue to eat it. Because Cao Chong deliberately made the dish a little spicy, Ling Humei had to use wine to relieve the spicy food. After a while, Ling Humei's face turned into a ripe apple-like color, which was red.
Looking at Linghu Mei's appearance, Cao Chong felt that the time was almost over and slowly began to speak.
"Miss, are these wine and food delicious?"
Linghu Mei grabbed the braised pig's trotter with one hand, and held a bottle of strong wine in the other hand, and immediately nodded at Cao Chong.
"This is the best food and drink Mei has ever eaten."
Cao Chong nodded with a smile and continued to ask, "So, what does the girl think of this marquis, what kind of person is this?"
Hearing this question, Ling Humei temporarily stopped working, hiccupped her eyes, and her eyes began to float.
"A fool who doesn't understand mercy and care about the beauty."
It turned out to be a fool.
However, a fool is also good, but if you regard me as a fool, then I don’t know if you are a fool or something.
"Then what are you here for this time?"
"People who convinced Luoyang Hou that fool to let Jiuquan County go, at least, they want to let Jiuquan Linghu's family go."
Let Jiuquan County go and Linghu?
This is somewhat interesting.
"It seems that Jiuquan County did nothing wrong, why do we need this marquis to let go?"
"Who said that those short-sighted families in Jiuquan County have no idea what the consequences of hostility to the fool of Luoyang Hou. They did not allow the people of Dunhuang Jiuquan County to enter Wuwei, and even did not hesitate to force and induce him. Moreover, the families in Jiuquan County are planning a plan to attack Wuwei and kill Luoyang Hou. I, Linghu, do not want to be attacked by the crowd, so I committed myself to the thief and came here to ask the lord to forgive me."
This long passage, with Linghumei's drunken look, took a long time to finish the sentence.
During this period, Cao Chong's face was naturally a little ugly.
He actually intercepted the people!
No wonder many times the people have not entered Wuwei these days. Cao Chong thought that there were only a few people left in Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County. It turned out that it was the cause of these aristocratic families.
And, want to plan to kill me?
It's ridiculous!
Cao Chong's eyes were gloomy, he glanced at Linghumei and approached Linghumei a little. He looked at Linghumei's drunkenness. For a moment, he didn't know whether Linghumei was really drunk or fake drunk.
After thinking for a while, Cao Chong continued to ask, "So, how do those aristocratic families in Jiuquan County plan to deal with this marquis?"
"The Jiuquan family on the front is naturally not the opponent of Luoyang Marquis, so they will come to pay tribute like people from Dunhuang County to express their surrender. At that time, let the assassin enter Guzang by the way, and the subsequent assassination will begin."
"Just use assassination to return this marquis?"
"Of course it's more than that. They know that the Marquis of Luoyang loves beauty. At that time, they will stay with the most beautiful women in Jiuquan County and kill the Marquis of Luoyang while serving the Marquis of Luoyang on the bed."
There is really a set of these aristocratic families in Jiuquan County!
Cao Chong thought about it for a while and continued to ask: "So, since you want me to forgive Linghu, what will you do?"
"I will tell the Luoyang Marquis the whole story, and then I will show the sincerity of Linghu."
"What sincerity?"
