Chapter 409: Betrayal (2)
Liu Ruosi was also a little relieved when he saw Qin Shou speaking confidently, usually mercenary people will feel that other people's thoughts must be the same as him, now that Guo Zhiyuan has left Dongfan, no matter how powerful he is, he can't return to the sky, why not take the opportunity to sell himself for a good price? People don't die for themselves, maybe some of Guo Zhiyuan's team backbones have the same idea as him?
Don't look at Qin Shou's confidence in front of Liu Ruosi, but in fact, he has no bottom at all, Guo Zhiyuan runs Dongfan like an iron plate, so that he has nowhere to start at all, and pulling Liu Ruosi over can only be regarded as he has hammered a nail in this iron plate, and it is really a long way to go to completely divide Guo Zhiyuan's team backbone and disintegrate Guo Zhiyuan's forces.
Before Qin Shou came to Dongfan, his teacher Gu Xiancheng and his old superior Xu Xueju sent him a letter, telling him not to be in a hurry when he went to Dongfan, but only to think slowly, as long as he can finally gain a firm foothold in Dongfan, it will be the biggest victory, and it is also a great hero of the Donglin Party.
Therefore, Qin Shou has been very low-key since he came to Dongfan, except for secretly sending people to contact and win over the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team, there is basically no big move, even if the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team is extremely repulsive to him, even the low-level scribes and officials of the prefect's yamen dare not listen to the greeting, he did not get angry, and used strong means to suppress them, which was Xu Xu Tuzhi's idea.
However, a sudden news completely broke his plan, Guo Zhiyuan's convoy was suddenly attacked by a large number of bandits when he was about to leave Fujian, Chen Zizhen sent to escort (in fact, monitor) Guo Zhiyuan's troops were beaten to the point of losing their armor, and Guo Zhiyuan himself was shot by an arrow in the chaos and fell to the ground, was rescued by his personal guards, and disappeared!
Qin Shou couldn't sit still anymore when he heard the news, he stood up and roared, "I know!" I knew it! How could Guo Zhiyuan be willing to let me succeed him and leave Dongfan to me! What bandits dare to openly attack the officers and soldiers?! This is clearly a bitter trick he used! β¦β¦β
The more Qin Shou thought about it, the more anxious he became, pacing back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, gritting his teeth and saying: "No, Guo Zhiyuan must want to sneak back to Dongfan quietly, I must not let him get his wish, I must speed up his movements, I must catch Dongfan in my hands before he comes back!" β¦β¦β
After making up his mind, Qin Shou immediately went to find Liu Ruosi, Liu Ruosi was very surprised to see Qin Shou's sudden arrival, and complained: "Why is Lord Qin here again?" Didn't I say it, let's not meet casually, it's not good to let Guo Zhiyuan's loyal subordinates know......"
Qin Shou said with a gloomy face: "The official doesn't want to come, but the official has to come, General Liu doesn't know yet, Guo Zhiyuan disappeared on the way to the capital!" β¦β¦β
Liu Ruosi was also shocked when he heard Qin Shou say about Guo Zhiyuan's disappearance, and said, "It's broken!" Broken! Master Guo, this is going to kill the carbine! I should have known that Master Guo was unparalleled in his wisdom and scheming, and it would definitely be impossible for him to give up Dongfan easily! Why am I so confused! I shouldn't have promised you in the first place! β¦β¦β
Qin Shou looked at Liu Ruosi coldly and sneered, "General Liu, is it still useful for you to say this now?" Do you think that if Guo Zhiyuan comes back, he can forgive you for betraying him? Can I spare you? β¦β¦β
Liu Ruosi looked at Qin Shou with fire in his eyes, grabbed him by the collar, and roared in a low voice: "You hurt me!" Lao Tzu killed you and then pleaded guilty to Lord Guo! β¦β¦β
Qin Shou looked at Liu Ruosi without panic, and sneered: "Do you think that if you kill this official Guo Zhiyuan, you will believe you?" Spare you? General Liu, you are so naΓ―ve! Who would believe a man who betrays again and again? If you kill me, it will be just like Guo Zhiyuan's intention, he can put the blame for killing the court officials on you, and use you as a scapegoat to prevaricate the court and ask for the guilt! β¦β¦β
Liu Ruosi knew that Qin Shou had a point, let go of the hand that was grabbing his collar, sat down on the chair dejectedly, and said with a depressed face: "You're right, Lord Guo won't spare me!" He never really believed me, although he made me a guard in Dongfan, he never let me participate in the core secrets of Dongfan, nor did he let me meddle in the affairs of the New Army, he has been on guard against me! He's coming back now, what a good thing! β¦β¦β
Qin Shou glanced at the lost Liu Ruosi contemptuously, if it weren't for the fact that he really had no available person, he wouldn't be willing to cooperate with a mercenary and unloyal guy like Liu Ruosi, and said fiercely: "For today's plan, we can only do it as soon as possible, this official has already sent a letter to the governor of Fujian, Lord Chen, asking him to send Fujian sailors to block the coastal waters and prevent Guo Zhiyuan from sneaking back to Dongfan!" Even if Guo Zhiyuan can evade the blockade and sneak back to Dongfan, the speed cannot be too fast, as long as we take action before he comes back and control the situation, Lord Chen will send Fujian sailors to help, and then the big thing has been decided, even if Guo Zhiyuan returns to Dongfan, he will not be able to return to the sky! β¦β¦β
I have to say that Qin Shou's plan is still quite poisonous, but Guo Zhiyuan's shadow left on Liu Ruosi is too deep, he saw with his own eyes that Guo Zhiyuan used less than 2,000 self-new troops to break through Zhao Bingjian's 20,000 rebels entrenched in the Shuizhai Mountain; saw Guo Zhiyuan defeat the Atayal aborigines who were not afraid of death and made him suffer a big loss; saw with his own eyes that Guo Zhiyuan would completely annihilate the Japanese pirate alliance that had changed the color of the imperial court's sailors; This battle, which seemed to have no chance of winning before the battle, but finally won brilliantly, has made Guo Zhiyuan brand in Liu Ruosi's heart as invincible and invincible!
So Liu Ruosi shook his head again and again: "It's useless, you don't know Lord Guo, we are not his opponents!" Besides, he still has so many loyal subordinates in Dongfan, and so many loyal self-reform troops, I can't do it with my little strength alone! β¦β¦β
Qin Shou looked at Liu Ruosi angrily, this guy is greedy for money but cowardly as a mouse, and he doesn't know how to become a general, but he also knows that there are not many people he can rely on, Liu Ruosi is in charge of nearly 5,000 garrisons, all of whom are old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and they must be co-opted, so he smiled slightly and said: "Of course I can't do it by relying on you alone, but has General Liu forgotten that the official told you that General Liu is not the only one who understands current affairs!" ......" slapped his palm lightly as he spoke, and Zhizhu smiled slightly on the ground: "Come out, let General Liu know that his fellow ...... is not alone."
At this time, four people dressed in black came in outside the door, Liu Ruosi jumped up in surprise when he saw these four people, his mouth opened wide, and he pointed at the four people and stammered: "Original... It turned out to be... You... You guys? You live... Actually back... Betrayed Lord Guo? β¦β¦β
