There was a deathly silence in the study.

Jiang Guo lowered his eyebrows and remained silent. Xiang Zhen's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief, while Xiang Xun looked straight at Jiang Guo without the slightest expression on his face.

After a long time, Xiang Xuncai lowered his head and tore open an envelope, which was a letter written by Xiang Lan to him.

"Mr. Jiang, how could Miss Lan come up with such a big plan, this, this is what you planned, right?" Xiang Zhen's voice trembled a little.

Jiang Guo raised his head and said with a slight smile: "General Xiang, you underestimate the girl, the entire general framework was drawn up by the girl herself, and I just made some polishes, improvements, and additions on the big framework prepared by the girl." ”

Xiang Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, "Mr. Jiang, if it is really as Lan Yatou planned, Li Ze is dead, I am afraid that the northern land will be in chaos soon, no, no, no, I am afraid that there will be chaos in this world." ”

"That's true!" Jiang Guo nodded and said: "General Xiang, I have been staying in the north for the past two years, and it is inconvenient for the girl to go out, but I have traveled almost all the areas under Li Ze's jurisdiction. Even the newly established Ningxia and Gansu provinces have been visited by me. ”

Xiang Xun, who had read the letter, raised his head and said, "Then tell me, how is the Northland?" ”

Jiang Guo's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Xiang Shuai, with all due respect, the strength of the northern land is only beyond your imagination, if it continues to develop like this, we will not have the slightest chance of winning." ”

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" Xiang Xun said with a smile.

"Not at all." Jiang Guo Zhengse said: "So the girl can only make such a risky plan as a last resort." Only when the world is in turmoil, and only when the world returns to its previous pattern, can we have the greatest hope. After all, now Xiang Shuai already has Fujian, Jiangxi, Rongguan, and Guiguan. ”

"Even if Li Ze is dead, he has a son." Xiang Zhendao: "People like Liu Chenglin, Liu Ruyan, and Tu Lichun will inevitably support his son to take the throne." ”

"It is true, but what about Li Cunzhong, Xue Chong, Tian Ping, and Zhang Jia? Without Li Ze, would they still be as loyal as they are now? Jiang Guo said with a smile. And General Xiang, if he really launched it at that time, even Li Ze would die, how could his son be an exception? Li Ze's family is all dead, who are the generals under his command to be loyal to? These fierce generals, one by one, who is convinced of whom? ”

Xiang Zhen pondered for a moment, "It's true, none of the generals under Li Ze are easy people, but because of this, they won't bow to each other." ”

Suddenly remembering something, Xiang Zhen suddenly said: "But if this is the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for Lan Yatou to be at that time?" As soon as Li Ze died, how could his cronies let her go? Zhenzhou is the Li family's lair. How can the people we infiltrate alone keep the girls in the company well? ”

"Naturally, there are dangers. But it's not without chance. Jiang Guo said: "At that time, the emperor was in our hands!" When the Emperor Taishang dies, those old ministers of the former Tang Dynasty who have been settled in Zhenzhou and Wuyi will gather there, and at this time, we will be safe, at least temporarily. And after that, we'll be safer. ”

Xiang Zhen stood up and walked around the house: "This is too dangerous for Lan girl, what is possible?" ”

"If you want to do big things, how can you not take a little risk?" Xiang Xun slapped the table suddenly, "Lan'er is the eldest daughter of the Xiang family, since she has drawn up this plan, she has naturally considered all aspects." ”

"Father!" Xiang Zhen still wanted to argue, but Xiang Xun sank his face.

Xiang Zhen sighed and stepped aside.

"Jiang Guo, this matter will be carried out according to the rules drawn up by Lan'er!" Xiang Xun said: "What you want, what you need, then you and Xiang Zhen will take care of it, and then advance step by step according to the time node." ”

"Yes, Xiang Shuai!"

"You've come all the way and worked hard along the way, so let's go home and see your family first, take a good rest, and come back in two days!" Xiang Xun said with a smile: "Anyway, this matter is a long-term plan, maybe a year, maybe two years." Although the pseudo-Liang was greatly injured, Cao Xuan and Xu Fu were all extremely experienced veterans of the battlefield, and they were not so easy to get along with. ”

"Thank you for your compassion to Shuai, then the official will leave." Jiang Guo stood up, took a deep look, and turned around and left Xiang Xun's study.

In the room, only the Xiang father and son were left.

"Father, this matter, Lan'er is really very dangerous. Can we think of a way? Watching Jiang Guo walk away, Xiang Zhen strode to the front of the big case, pressed the table with both hands, and looked at Xiang Xun earnestly.

Xiang Xun looked at Xiang Zhen coldly, and said after a while: "You are far worse than Lan'er." ”

"Huh?" Xiang Zhen is a little inexplicable.

Xiang Xun slowly pushed the letter on the case in front of Xiang Zhen: "Do you know what Lan'er wrote in the letter?" ”

Xiang Zhen shook his head.

"Lan'er said that this matter, whether it succeeds or fails, she is afraid that she will not be able to come back." Xiang Xun said lightly: "It's done, the furious General Li Ze will inevitably break her into thousands of pieces." If she loses, Li Ze will naturally not let her go, and she is also a dead end. ”

Xiang Zhen was shocked: "Jiang Guo didn't say that. ”

"That's Lan girl fooling him. Not everyone can die willingly for the sake of the Xiang clan. Lan'er can, but Jiang Guo may not be able to. And those non-commissioned officers, even more not. Xiang Xun said.

"Since that's the case, let's ......" Halfway through the words, looking at Xiang Xun with a sinking face, Xiang Zhen swallowed back again.

"Lan'er has two plans here, one is to tie the emperor to her, and then the two will die together at the hands of Li Ze's subordinates, so that Li Ze's subordinates will also be convicted of killing the king. The second is to find a way to get the little emperor to come to us. ”

Xiang Zhen sat down on the chair silently, no matter what method he did, his Lan girl was afraid that he would not be able to come back. But looking at his father's attitude, he should have made up his mind, and he knows very well that once his father has made up his mind, let alone himself, even if he kneels in front of everyone in the family, he will never let him change his mind.

Looking at Xiang Zhen's appearance, Xiang Xun was furious.

"Useless things, if you can't cross the hurdle of children's affection, you will never be able to make a big difference. Compared to Lan'er, you're just a mess. Do you know that what Lan'er is planning is for the great cause of my Xiang clan? ”

"A thousand years of great cause?" Xiang Zhen unconsciously repeated.

"A great cause!" Xiang Xun nodded heavily. "Jiang Guo is right, if Li Ze dies, even his son dies, the northern land will inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, Chang'an had not yet been captured, and the pseudo-Liang still had a breath of relief, which was not a Jedi survival, so he would naturally take advantage of the situation to fight back, and Zhu Youqi, who had been dormant, would inevitably come out of Shuzhong at this time, and the world would fall into the melee again. At this time, we have effectively integrated Fujian, Jiangxi, Rongguan, Guiguan and other places, and in the next year, as long as we subdue Hunan, Annan and other places, this world, but we are the strongest. Do you know what that means? ”

Xiang Zhen suddenly realized and gasped.

"So Lan Yatou gave two plans, one is to let the emperor also burn the jade, so that the Tang Dynasty will have no successors, and in this world, there are capable people living in it. The second is to send the little emperor to us, so that we can raise the banner of the Tang Dynasty again in the name of supporting the little emperor to win people's hearts. Xiang Xun explained to his son with great heart.

"Lan'er, this is with her life, to fight for our Xiang clan a chance to compete in the world. She must have also seen the strength of the Northland, if Li Ze is allowed to go on like this step by step, we will definitely not have any chance of turning the tables, even if we want to compete with Li Ze in the same dynasty, I am afraid that there will be no chance. ”

"Father, which one are we going to choose?" Xiang Zhen's voice trembled a little.

"The second one, get the little emperor over." Xiang Xun said calmly: "Back then, Li Ze took Emperor Taishang to Wuyi, and then under this banner, he collected the major forces in the north, and then received all the power into his own hands step by step, and then, we can also follow suit, with the banner of the little emperor, we can control Rong Hong and these people more effectively." ”

"But how can we get the little emperor back?" Xiang Zhen said: "Li Ze must be closely monitoring the little emperor. ”

"You can do this matter yourself, don't fake outsiders." Xiang Xun said: "We still have time, you have seen the little emperor, immediately find a person who looks a little similar to the little emperor, bring it back secretly, and then train it, and when the time is almost up, send it to the north, and then hand it over to Lan Yatou for arrangement." When the time comes, a golden cicada will come out of its shell. ”

"Is it possible to succeed?"

"There's a big possibility. Because at that time, Li Ze will inevitably not be in Wuyi, but in attacking Chang'an, and everyone's eyes will be on the battle of Chang'an, and at this time, it is the time when their strength is the most relaxed. Xiang Xun said: "This is also the best time for the little emperor golden cicada to come out of its shell." Next, as soon as the old emperor dies, Wuyi Zhenzhou will definitely be busy for a while, at this time, people who are familiar with the little emperor are either in Chang'an and other places, or they are busy with the death of the old emperor, and when they reflect it, the little emperor has already gone away, as long as the planning is properly arranged, everything is possible. ”

"But in this way, Lan girl, there is really no life at all." Xiang Zhen lamented.

"But if it is worth it because of Lan Yatou's death and the glory of the Xiang clan, it will be worth it, and she is worthy of being the daughter of my Xiang clan."
