Zhang Xian told Liu Guozhong that if it was unexpected, it would take less than two months for the barbarians to open the passage in the Troubled Stone Valley.

Liu Guozhong was taken aback when he heard this.

Although he didn't know where Zhang Xian got the news, he knew that Zhang Xian had a huge spy organization, the Red Evil Pavilion.

That was part of the Red Yi Society that separated from the Blue Coat Society of the Li Kingdom, and this part of the people later separated from the Red Yi Society and established the Red Evil Pavilion.

The Red Yi Society is still in the hands of Liu Guozhong, but now it is almost in name only.

But it's still much better than a scout in the army.

So Liu Guozhong still knows a little about the Red Evil Pavilion.

Although the barbarians have low intelligence, they are extremely fierce, and if they are allowed to come, then the first to bear the brunt will be the Li State.

That would be a disaster.

They even used the people of the Central Plains as food.

They are at the mercy of the Japanese people, because the Japanese people are insidious and despicable, and they play with the barbarians who are just beginning to develop their wisdom.

It is said that these Japanese people also want to compete for hegemony on the mainland, but their population is small, their cultivation is low, their quality and physique are very poor, and they only have more crooked and evil abilities, so they thought of using the barbarians as a trick.

The words were clear, and Liu Guozhong also understood what Zhang Xian meant.

"Fight poison with poison. ”

"That's right, drive the Black Lotus Holy Sect to the bitter cold and savage land, and let them fight. ”

This is Zhang Xian's intention.

Since you can't eliminate Ling Tao, and there is a potential threat by your side, then find a way to drive them away.

"Uncle should be familiar with Ranshi Pass, right?"

Zhang Xian's words made Liu Guozhong's heart twitch.

He completely understood Zhang Xian's thoughts.

is to put him in the Ranshi Pass, which is far away from Kanwu City, so that not only will he be exempted from the threat of the Xia State, but also keep him away from the political center of the Li State, so that Li Hui, who is close to the Xia State, will hold the supreme scepter of the Li State, so that the Li State will have no threat to the Xia State at all.

Liu Guozhong pondered for a while, he raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face became a little solemn.

"You know that I started in the northeast, and then followed your father, I am naturally familiar with the stone pass, but it is extremely deserted, and my army of 300,000 has passed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise complete logistics supplies, and 、、、"

Zhang Xian naturally knew the situation there, not to mention 300,000 troops, that is, 100,000 people, and the locals couldn't feed them, Liu Guozhong seemed to agree to go there, but he had the conditions to put it forward.

"Before the New Year, you can drive the Black Lotus Holy Sect through the Troubled Stone Pass, you are stationed in the Troubled Stone Pass, I will provide the food and grass materials, and your aunt and eldest brother will also reunite with you. ”

"Good!"

"Never break your word. ”

And so it was settled.

Both of them understand that this is just using each other, but compared to Liu Guozhong, they still accept this result.

He really didn't feel at ease to serve Zhang Xian, but being stationed in Kanwu City put him under pressure from many sides, and he went to Ranshi Pass, where it was a little bitterly cold, but the emperor was far away, and he still became a prince, holding heavy troops, and shouldering the heavy responsibility of fighting against the barbarians, even if it was the Qin Empire, the Li State, the Xia State and even the surrounding large and small vassal states, they could not attack him, and even meddle in the command indiscriminately.

The supplies promised by Zhang Xian did not necessarily have to be provided by the Xia State, once the war against the barbarians began, the vassal states of the Central Plains had to provide him with assistance, which was a rule.

The rules against foreign invasions, and of course the final implementation of each country, will vs and so forth.

This matter was finalized, and Zhang Xian and Liu Guozhong were going to operate next, and at a very small price, they drove the Black Lotus Holy Sect out of Kanwu City and forced them to go to the bitter cold land of the extreme north.

"I am ready to attack inside and outside, and pressure Ling Tao to take the initiative to abandon Kanwu City. ”

External attacks oppressed Ling Tao, which Liu Guozhong could predict, as long as he played the banner to support the Jingnan army, even if he did not attack the city, Ling Tao was afraid that he would have to sit still, because the southern city was almost unfortified, but if he really wanted to start a big war, he was afraid that the Black Lotus Holy Sect would resist stubbornly, and if he didn't do it, he would destroy Kanwu City.

This is not what the Jingnan Army and Liu Guozhong want, if it weren't for too many scruples, Liu Guozhong would also choose to help the Jingnan Army.

Liu Guozhong knows his own family affairs, so he supports the army and respects himself.

This is a bargaining chip, with these 300,000 horses, everyone will take a fancy to him.

But once the Jingnan army succeeds, not to mention the losses, with his tainted background, Li Hui will definitely gradually weaken his military power, and at that time, he will not have time to cry, let alone face Zhang Xian.

Helping Ling Tao, firstly, he is unwilling, and secondly, he will be scolded by thousands of people in the Li country, and the most important thing is the unspoken rules of Baxun, which will make him never have peace, unless all of Baxun is eradicated, but it seems to be difficult.

In the end, it was Zhang Xian who gave him the most headache.

His family is all in Zhang Xian's hands.

He has not come up with a good way to redeem his family from Zhang Xian, saying that everything else is nonsense, what is the purpose of fighting all his life, not for the sake of future generations, becoming a lonely family, and fighting hard.

"Prepare yourself, there will be good news in ten days, wait for my letter. ”

Zhang Xian did not explicitly indicate how to shake Ling Tao's determination to hold Kanwu City from the inside, but asked Liu Guozhong to listen to his letter.

It is impossible for Liu Guozhong to ask about this.

So that night, Zhang Xian and the three of them left Liu Guozhong's big tent and returned to Luokou City.

Zhang Xian came back safely, and Liao Lin, Fu Zhuang, Liu Hao, etc., who had been holding their hearts, breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xi personally escorted Zhang Xian back and forth across the river, but he was actually more nervous.

When Li Xi was leaving, on the dock, Zhang Xian still warned him not to let down his vigilance, Liu Guozhong is not a good person, not to mention that he is a big traitor, and his credibility is not high.

Although he agreed to Zhang Xian's proposal, who dares to guarantee that he will not repeat it.

This person needs to be guarded against.

Because of this, Zhang Xian did not use means to force him to surrender.

Returning to the temporary palace of Luokou City, Zhang Xian summoned the person in charge of the Chentang of the Red Evil Luokou City.

"Forward this letter to Han Yu. ”

Han Yu is now the deputy sect leader of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, he has long defected to Zhang Xian's command, and he is a pawn buried by Zhang Xian in the Black Lotus Holy Sect.

The next day, Han Yu received a handwritten letter from Zhang Xian.

He has a very high status now, although he has not yet been able to enter the core of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but he has hundreds of thousands of Black Lotus Holy Sect disciples in his hands.

He buried his head in the copywriting, quietly opened Zhang Xian's handwritten letter, and destroyed it after reading it.

He pondered for a long time, and then had an idea in his mind, so he got up and walked out of the hall.

The content of Zhang Xian's letter to him is very fake, that is, he tried to get Ling Tao to abandon Kanwu City, move to the northeast, and guide Ling Tao to retreat to the extreme north through the Ranshi Pass. ’。

Finally, tell him that after completing this task, he can return
