It's mid-April in the blink of an eye.

As far as Zhao Yu's side is concerned, the relationship between Guo Da and Niu Heng and him continues to ferment, and the new 'iron triangle' is becoming more and more stable.

It can be obviously found that Guo Da and Niu Heng are increasingly dissatisfied with Yang Tong's reuse of defectors, and the rifts and differences between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger.

And Jing Nu, who Zhao Yu cares about the most, has been practicing swordsmanship hard during this time, practicing more diligently and harder than him, even Chen Cai praised Jing Nu, saying that as long as it takes a few more years, he may not be Jing Nu's opponent.

Although there is a bit of moisture in it, it is enough to prove that Jingnu does have some talent in this regard.

Sometimes watching Jing Nu dancing with her sword outside the house, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of trance.

Jing Nu Qishu......

When his mother Zhou gave Jingnu that name, I am afraid that she would never have dreamed that the quiet little girl in her eyes would one day hold a sword and learn good swordsmanship.

Of course, Zhao Yu didn't dare to joke about Jingnu about this.

A few days ago, he had no intention of talking about it, he meant to tease Jingnu, but he didn't expect Jingnu's eyes to turn red immediately after hearing this, and she cried very sadly, Zhao Yu spent a lot of energy to coax Jingnu well.

At that time, Zhao Yu realized that Jing Nu was resistant in her heart, after all, Jing Nu regarded her as a mother, and the Zhou family had taught her how to be an excellent wife, but she had never taught her to lift a sword to kill, and from the moment Jing Nu lifted the sword, she no longer dared to put the word "mother" referring to Zhou's mother on her lips.

And this also motivates Zhao Yu to implement his final plan as soon as possible: get rid of Yang Tong and master the Black Tiger Village!

How to get rid of Yang Tong, Zhao Yu has thought about it repeatedly in the past few days.

It's certain to borrow a knife to kill, but the question is which knife to borrow? This is a question worth pondering.

He now has a knife in his hand, a knife named Chen Zu.

Two days ago, he went to see Chen Zu again, and routinely put forward a proposal to let Chen Zu belong to the Black Tiger Village, at that time, Chen Zu neither refused nor agreed, just looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, looked at him and smiled, and his smile was a little weird.

Zhao Yu could probably guess what Chen Zu was laughing at, he was laughing at Yang Tong, laughing at Zhou Hu, who Yang Tong relied on as a think tank, that is, Zhao Yu, conspired with him Chen Zu to take his life.

At the same time, Chen Zu probably also wanted to see how far he Zhao Yu could go.

Therefore, Chen Zu did not refuse verbally as before, but he also did not agree, after all, Zhao Yu could not come up with anything to make him nod and agree.

But this is enough, at least for now, Chen Zu's attitude shows that he is most likely willing to be Zhao Yu's knife.

It's just that this knife is not easy to cut off Yang Tong's head, after all, Yang Tong is not stupid, and now those who defected to the sect around Yang Tong are not stupid, where can it be so easy to believe Chen Zu?

Therefore, Chen Zu's knife is at most a candidate.

In addition to Chen Zu, Zhao Yu also had another choice, on the side of the Kunyang officers and soldiers.

Oh, not Margay.

In all fairness, judging from Ma Gai's previous behavior, he was not willing to be the internal response of the Black Tiger Village, but in general, he still gave in, just like the last attack on the Black Tiger Village, Ma Gai himself never personally went into battle to kill the thief, which is very incredible for a county lieutenant who is good at force.

Therefore, unless Yang Tong is left alone in front of Ma Gai, Ma Gai should not dare to really do anything to Yang Tong, unless Ma Gai makes up his mind to eradicate Yang Tong and his gang at the cost of being ruined and retaliated against by the Black Tiger Village.

And this matter is actually very easy to judge, because according to human nature, if Ma Gai chooses to die with Black Tiger Village, he will inevitably ask someone to settle his wife and children elsewhere first, so as long as you see whether Ma Gai's wife and children are still in Kunyang County, you can guess Ma Gai's attitude with a high probability.

But judging from the news sent by the eyeliner, Ma Gai did not send his wife and children elsewhere, which shows that he did not make up his mind to die with the Black Tiger Village.

What Zhao Yu really likes is Ma Gai's head-catcher Ishihara.

According to the news sent by the eyeliner after the year, this Ishihara recruited a group of strong men in Kunyang County at the end of last year, the number is not large, only 300 people, but the daily exercises, even last winter.

According to the Black Tiger Village sent people to investigate, this is called Ishihara's head catcher, originally a ranger, after last spring, he and his four companions were ready to go to Ye County, when passing through Kunyang County, it coincided with Kunyang County to recruit militia to crusade against Black Tiger Village, with the idea of earning a bounty, Ishihara and his four companions joined the crusade army, but never wanted to sacrifice a companion.

In order to avenge his companions, Ishihara and his three remaining companions joined Ma Gai's command and were determined to sweep away the Black Tiger Village.

In view of Ma Gai's relationship, Yang Tong and Guo Da didn't care much about this Ishihara, but Zhao Yu became a little interested in this Ishihara.

Because as far as he knew, this Ishihara had been recruited by the local army in Jiangxia to participate in the fight against the rebels, so although he was born as a ranger, he was also familiar with the army's methods and tactics, and such a person must not be regarded as just an ordinary head hunter.

Considering that this Ishihara had a great hatred for the Black Tiger Village, Zhao Yu also wondered if he could use him as a knife to get rid of Yang Tong.

But if you want to kill Yang Tong with that Shi Yuan's hand, you must first solve a prerequisite, that is, you have to let Yang Tong personally go into battle - if Yang Tong hides in the main village of Black Tiger Village and does not come forward, how can Zhao Yu let Shi Yuan kill Yang Tong?

Is it possible to sacrifice the entire main village?

Although it is not impossible to sacrifice the entire main village, at least he has to make sure that Ishihara kills Yang Tong, in case the main village is gone, but Yang Tong is not dead, then what is he trying to do?

Fortunately, this premise is not difficult to solve, just let Chen Mo and Wang Qing be in the limelight.

Especially Wang Qing.

Unlike the relatively calm Chen Mo, Wang Qing has a very jumpy temperament, once he gets carried away, he doesn't even pay attention to Yang Tong, considering that Chen Mo and Wang Qing are holding Yang Tong's handle in their hands at the moment, Yang Tong doesn't dare to come to them, therefore, as long as Zhao Yu finds a way to let Wang Qing out of the limelight and create a situation similar to 'high merit covering the master', Yang Tong will naturally not be indifferent, and will definitely try his best to overshadow Wang Qing's limelight, and then Zhao Yu will have the opportunity to calculate Yang Tong and let Yang Tong die in the hands of Ishihara and others.

But in this way, the problem comes again, if you want to secretly help Chen Mo and Wang Qing and let the two of them be in the limelight, then the opposing officers and soldiers will definitely suffer heavy losses, how can they have the strength to continue to conquer Black Tiger Village?

Wait another year?

Zhao Yu can't afford to wait.

Therefore, according to this line of thought, the scale of Kunyang's crusade against the Black Tiger Village this time must be large, because in this way, Zhao Yu can let go and secretly help Chen Mo and Wang Qing to attack the officers and soldiers, forcing Yang Tong to go into battle in person.

But Kunyang County has such a place and such a small number of people, how to stimulate Kunyang County to expand the scale of the requisition?

Zhao Yu thought about it and decided to attack the Luye Freemasonry!

Today, the Luye Freemasonry led by Lu Kuang, although it is far less prosperous than when he was in charge of Zhao Yu due to internal divisions, still controls about half of the commercial affairs in Runan, Kunyang, Yexian and other places.

As long as Zhao Yu persuaded Yang Tong to target the Luye Freemasonry, Lu Kuang would inevitably help Kunyang and try to sweep the Black Tiger Village in one fell swoop.

"That's a ......."

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Luye Freemasonry was created by him, and the Black Tiger Village is his future team, in order to eradicate Yang Tong, he had to stimulate the Luye Freemasonry to fight the Black Tiger Village, think about it carefully, this is really ironic.

Unfortunately, this is the only way.

After all, on Kunyang's side, even Ma Gai, who was the county lieutenant, had gradually succumbed, and it was really difficult for Zhao Yu to have too much hope for Kunyang County, so he could only hope for the Luye Freemasonry.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu immediately ran to instigate Yang Tong.

He said to Yang Tong: "Lord Dazhai, my Black Tiger Village is now merciful enough to the caravans that passed under our mountain, but those businessmen are submissive on the surface and make an agreement with us, but behind the scenes, they are secretly helping Kunyang County to crusade against us, like this two-faced and three-edged approach, we must give a warning!" …… It just so happened that the village was preparing to build a sub-village recently, and it was short of money, so it was better to double the passage money to warn the Luye Freemasonry. ”

Upon hearing this, Yang Tong thought so.

At that time, Zhang Feng and Chu Jiao dissuaded Yang Daodao: "No." …… If we double and draw forty percent, it will inevitably completely anger the Luye Freemasonry, this chamber of commerce is very powerful in Runan, Xiangcheng, Kunyang, and Yexian, if they are completely angered, they may be forced to move the rest of the counties to help Kunyang encircle and suppress us, this is the way to take trouble. ”

Hearing this, Yang Tong couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "It seems that smoking two achievements is not offending the Luye Freemasonry, otherwise don't even smoke two percent?" Nine times out of ten, the caravans under our mountain are under the name of the Luye Freemasonry, not to mention taking 20%, with the stingy and profit-seeking style of the merchants, half of the caravan will offend them heavily, since they can't turn enemies into friends, then simply make them succumb! ”

Zhang Feng and the rest of the village owners were speechless, except for Chu Jiao, who glanced at Zhao Yu a few times in confusion, but didn't say anything.

In this case, Yang Tong finally listened to Zhao Yu's suggestion and decided to warn the Luye Freemasonry, but he didn't double it so ruthlessly, but only added one percent, that is, three percent.

But Sancheng is also terrible, not to mention that Yang Tong also wrote a letter to warn Lu Kuang according to Zhao Yu's suggestion.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Yu had guessed, Lu Kuang was furious after receiving Yang Tong's warning letter.

Thinking that he Lu Ye Freemasonry, a big chamber of commerce that spans several counties, he didn't even dare to offend the county orders easily, and a group of Ying mountain thieves dared to humiliate them like this?

A few days later, Lu Kuang summoned many merchants under his name in the Chamber of Commerce, and all the merchants unanimously made a decision: Black Tiger Village must be eradicated!

But how to eradicate the Black Tiger Village?

I'm afraid that Kunyang County alone is not strong enough.

Lu Kuang thought about it, and only went to the county government to visit Mrs. Mao - at the moment when the old county commander Mao Gong had passed away, only with the support of Mrs. Mao could he dare to take action.

However, when he went to visit Mrs. Mao with a generous gift, he unexpectedly learned that Mrs. Mao was meeting guests in the middle hall of the back office.

Visiting?

Who?

Lu Kuang didn't care either, and implored the county magistrate to report: "Please be sure to tell the old lady, it is really a matter of urgency, please ask the old lady to see Lu Mou." ”

After he pleaded with him, the county official reported it on his behalf, and after a while, led Lu Kuang to the middle hall of the back office.

At that time, Lu Kuang saw that Mrs. Mao was talking to a young man in his thirties in the house, and the young man was smiling and said to the old lady: "Old lady, don't worry, Mao Gong and my father-in-law have been friends for many years, although my father-in-law is now driving troops outside the city and is not in the court, but Mao Gong is entrusted on his deathbed, how dare my father and son slack off." …… This matter is wrapped up in the little nephew, and I, Zhang Jing, will definitely find out about the matter of the Luyang Township Hou family! ”

"Chapter ...... Zhang Jing?!'

Lu Kuang stared at the young man in shock, and it happened that the young man also turned his head to look over, and with a slightly confused sharp look, Lu Kuang unconsciously took half a step back.

"When the dynasty Chen Zhong, the righteous son of Chen Taishi, the five tigers of Chen Gate, Zhang Jing?!"

Only then did Lu Kuang realize that the young man in front of him was shocked to be the general of the current dynasty who was on an equal footing with Wang Shangde, the general of Wancheng.
