Chapter 424 You're late
When Linghu Zhishu saw Ke Wuji sitting there with one foot on top of the big case and puffing away at the clouds, he felt really serious Stupid.
Of course he knew Ke Wuji.
The elder of the Demon Cult, the actual controller of Ruijin Banner.
He Zudao was able to go south. This person can be said to have made great contributions, so he now has a very high status among the eight towns in the south. The Ruijin Banner of the Demon Sect is now almost semi-public in the eight towns in the south. in activity.
He Zudao seemed a little weak now, so he was naturally willing to use the power of the Demon Cult.
You must know that the strength of the Demon Cult you see is always only the part above the water surface, while the big head is below the water surface.
In Linghu Zhishu’s opinion, this is probably one of the bargaining chips for He Zudao to negotiate with Chu State.
The Chu State is extremely afraid of people like Ke Wuji, and if these people have He Zudao's support, they will naturally be more difficult to deal with.
So, it is completely conceivable that He Zudao was brought to the negotiating table as a bargaining chip.
However, the demon sect is stronger when it is strong, but Linghu Zhishu really doesn't regard them as any opponents.
Because those who are shady will never be able to achieve great things, and in the end they will just play support behind the scenes.
But today, he saw Ke Wuji on such an occasion.
Linghu Zhishu couldn't believe his eyes, so he raised his head and looked at the plaque on the gate, and then looked at the soldiers standing solemnly on the left and right.
It’s all right,
Only the person sitting at the top has changed.
Where is Zhang Quanyi?
Ke Wuji laughed loudly and banged his copper pipe on top of the big case. The hall was filled with soot and ashes, "General Linghu, you are late. Zhang Quanyi and a certain The family has reached an agreement, and now he has entrusted all the more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command to me!"
"Where are the others?" Linghu Zhishu didn't believe that Ke Wuji dared to kill. If Zhang Quanyi really dared to do this, the captains and generals in the hall would not agree. "You locked him up?"
"Even if General Zhang is in despair now, he is still much stronger than the little old man. I don't have the ability to kill him!" Ke Wuji said with a smile: "However, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. We also have some abilities that others cannot match, so we made an exchange with General Zhang."
"I wonder what Zhang Quanyi got from you?"
"A brand new identity!" Ke Wuji said with a smile: "General Zhang is no longer full of pride. He just wants to find a place to be with his family. Spend the rest of our lives together peacefully, and we are very familiar with doing such things, so now General Zhang Quanyi no longer exists. Maybe many years later, you will see a familiar face on the street, but what is it called? It’s hard to say!”
90% of what Ke Wuji said is false, but one thing is true.
That is Yiyang and the more than ten thousand elite soldiers in Yiyang, all of them belong to him.
Linghu Zhishu looked up to the sky and sighed.
He knew that the Demon Cult was desperately trying to expand its strength.
In Ning County, they had established a line with Cao Gang He Yiming. Gotta be in full swing.
Now, they have gained Yiyang again, and their strength has further expanded.
If their power in the dark is taken into account, even if He Zudao wants to sell them now, he has to carefully consider the consequences.
One bad move may cause chaos.
Because Ruijinqi's job is to rebel, but now they want to do it openly and openly.
If this platform disappears, they are afraid that they will go around again to instigate rebellion.
Nowadays, the lives of the people in the eight towns in the south are not very good.
The soil for rebellion exists.
Linghu Zhishu turned around and returned to Huai'an.
"This matter must be related to Li Dachui!" Linghu Zhishu was quite rude as he held He Zudao's major case with both hands. But now that he was really angry, he couldn't care less about it.
"First the Cao Gang surrendered to Ke Wuji, and then Zhang Quanyi disappeared without warning. What was left behind was even cheaper for Ke Wuji! It is very rare to get a bargain in this world, and even Do you think it is possible to pick up the bargain twice? If Ke Wuji has this ability, Ruijinqi will only look like what it is today?"
He Zudao looked at Linghu Zhishu and said: "Ling General Fox, Elder Ke Wuji has been very kind to me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to go south. Therefore, if you want to testify against him, you need to provide solid evidence. Now you are accusing him and Li Dachui in vain. Collusion, how do you want me to convince the public? In the eyes of others, you are just worried that our eight towns in the south will not be in chaos, so you want to create some trouble for us?"
Linghu Zhishu was stunned? Difficult words.
Yes, evidence!
Where can I get the evidence?
Now it seems that Ke Wuji and He Zudao are in the same group. Ke Wuji got Zhang Quanyi's troops without any effort, but He Zudao was the cheap one.
When you think about everything together, you know something is wrong!
After Xiangcheng and Fancheng, it seems that everyone is taking advantage of them. But if you think about it carefully, is it really cheap?
Whether Ke Wuji devoured Zhang Quanyi’s subordinates or Feng Kuan recaptured Fancheng in one fell swoop and regained control of the strategic location of Xiangfan, it seemed that He Zudao, Linghuye and the others were destroyed. There is a possible alliance between the Chu states in the south.
But how to say this?
You told He Zudao that you are not qualified to eat at the table at all, or should you just hold a bowl and go to the kitchen to eat?
I'm afraid He Zudao will slap him in the head. The stronger He Zudao's power, the greater his ambition.
After being in the south for such a long time, Linghu Zhishu also slowly figured out this person's temperament.
But does this sudden surge of strength really belong to He Zudao?
Will it burst like a pig's urine bubble when you poke it?
But no matter what, the occurrence of these things is greatly detrimental to Linghu Group.
Now the Linghu Group must attack Chang'an with all its strength, but what about Luoyang? Do you want to leave heavy troops?
If you don’t stay, what if He Zudao suddenly gets into trouble?
But if they stay, the power to attack Chang'an will be weakened again.
When Wei Yi saw that Changfengcang could no longer hold it, he began to withdraw the elite troops from Hedong County and Tongguan, leaving behind those troops that were finally swallowed up and were insignificant.
The strength of Wei's army is still strong. If the attack on Chang'an cannot go all out, it will become a protracted war and a war of attrition.
But this is the situation Ling Huye least wants to see.
Because outside the pass, the Beiting Protectorate is still watching with eager eyes!
Sure enough, while Linghu Zhishu was still thinking about these questions, He Zudao had already spoken with a smile.
"General Linghu, you have been keeping an eye on us during this period. I am afraid you have ignored the threats from outside the pass, right? I heard businessmen who came and went said that soldiers and horses appeared on the other side of Yangguan. A large-scale mobilization was carried out. Ma Liang, the guard of Yuanyang Pass, led 10,000 troops out of the pass, while Gu Xiaoman, the general of Beiting, led 5,000 cavalry to enter Yangguan. What do you think they wanted to do with the speed of the cavalry outside the pass? It doesn’t seem to take long to reach Hexi from Yangguan!”
Linghu Zhishu was surprised.
He really doesn’t know about this situation.
Yangguan has long fallen into the control of the Beiting Protectorate. Linghuye was able to successfully enter the pass because of his tacit understanding with Li Dachui.
You go, I won't stop you,
But the outside of the customs is mine from now on!
Of course now it seems that Linghuye has suffered a big loss.
But at the beginning, who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, the seemingly powerful Beiyuan would fall apart?
Linghuye entered the customs three months late, but it was a different scene.
But it’s really three months late. Can I still enter the country?
I’m afraid Yangguan will lock the door tightly by then, right?
Who is Gu Xiaoman?
A direct descendant of Li Dachui.
He raised his troops to Yangguan, and his attitude was clear.
This is threatening Linghuye.
Because Linghu Group is about to attack Chang'an.
Even if Gu Xiaoman's cavalry has been stationary at Yangguan, the Linghu Group must be extremely careful to guard against it.
Because you have no way of knowing when your opponent will attack.
Linghu Zhishu has been guessing that Li Dachui will come to the south to supplement his other fulcrum. Now it is difficult to see where Li Dachui's third fulcrum is, but He Zudao is becoming more and more powerful. Some.
Perhaps, this was Li Dachui's original intention of sneaking to the south?
Yangguan restrained part of Linghuye's troops, and the stronger He Zudao could restrain another part of Linghu Group's troops, and also defend Nanchu.
Everyone is wary of each other and restraining each other. Only Li Dachui is alone outside the pass and can deal with the divided Beiyuan first.
"General, I have to say goodbye!" Linghu Zhishu clasped his fists in greeting: "No matter what, I still want to thank you for your hospitality these days!"
"This is It should be!" He Zudao smiled and said: "Although we may still meet each other with swords in the future, it does not prevent us from being friends now."
Linghu Zhishu nodded: "Finally, I want to tell you, be careful of Li Dachui. You have always been a little disdainful of Li Dachui, but now, I am more and more convinced that he is really the son of Li Jimin and He Qingqiu!"
< br>“Didn’t you tell me that these are just rumors, and they were created by you?”
“I also thought for a time that these were rumors created by us, but now that I think about it carefully, it turns out that they are true and false. , Who can say for sure? Maybe the person who set up the trap was using our mentality. Otherwise, I really can’t figure out why the Demon Cult is so capable." Linghu Zhishu said a little bit. "If Li Dachui is He Qingqiu's son, then he has a great relationship with the Demon Sect. He Qingqiu was once a saint of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect has reason to accept him! General, be careful of the Demon Sect under your command, and be careful of Li Dachui! "
Linghu Zhishu stood up and walked away.
Behind him, the smile on He Zudao's face was slowly fading away.
When a man is about to die, his words are kind; when a bird is about to die, his song is sad.
Linghu Zhishu’s current dejected look is really not just an act.
