Chapter 349: Initial
"Lord Qi, in Luoyang City, dozens of families participated in this encirclement and suppression."
In Li Zhi's big tent, Yang Ying reported to him.
"Heh, as I expected!" When Li Zhi heard this, he sneered and asked, "Tell me, which families have participated in this encirclement and suppression." ”
"There are the Zhao family, the Yang family, the Wang family..."Speaking of this, Yang Ying paused, and after carefully glancing at Li Zhi, he said: "There is also a branch of the Li family in Longyou." ”
At the beginning, when Li Zhi first came to this world, he used to claim to be a branch of the Li clan of Longyou, so Yang Ying was so careful.
"Hmm" Li Zhi nodded noncommittally and asked, "And then?" Which one else? ”
Seeing that Li Zhi didn't care about the Longyou Li family, Yang Ying breathed a long sigh ......of relief and said, "The rest are some small families, which are not worth mentioning, and they can only be regarded as full of people." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhiyan thought for a while, then squinted his eyes and asked, "The Wang family you are talking about, but Wang Yun's family?" ”
"Exactly." Yang Ying nodded, frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on, it turns out that the Wang family didn't feel moved at all."
However, today, the Wang family suddenly seemed to be crazy, and frantically summoned his subordinates to encircle and suppress the lord. ”
"Is that so......" After hearing Yang Ying's report, Li Zhi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Other families encircle and suppress themselves because of their own interests, Li Zhi can understand.
However, why did the Wang family encircle and suppress themselves?
Is it just because of Wang Yun?
That's impossible!
You must know that for a family, not to mention a mere patriarch, even if half of the clansmen have been sacrificed, as long as the family can make the family prosperous, then the people of the family will not care about their sacrifice at all.
Li Zhi is a hussar general, and he holds the power in Beijing, and because of his weak master-apprentice relationship with Wang Yun, on weekdays, he also takes great care of the Wang family, and he can't think of a reason for the Wang family to turn against him.
If other families control Li Zhi, they can indeed get some benefits.
These benefits are worth the risk of those slightly weaker families.
However, as a vested interest, why should the Wang family give up long-term interests because of a few immediate interests?
"Forget it!" After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zhi couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, shook his head, and said, "How many people do they have?" Also, didn't Liu Wei and Dong Zhuo take action? ”
When Yang Ying heard this, he bowed his hand and said, "Those dozens of families add up to a total of 100,000 horses.
However, these horses are all composed of slaves, so their combat strength is not as good as that of 10,000 ordinary soldiers.
As for Dong Zhuo and Liu Wei, I didn't see any action from them.
There are rumors circulating in the market that Dong Zhuo is going to launch an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the lord.
However, according to his subordinates, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses did not move at all.
Liu Wei's recent actions are a bit strange, and he hasn't been to court for three days.
However, he didn't have any soldiers and horses in his hands at all, so it was unlikely that he would come to encircle and suppress the lord. ”
"Liu Bian" After hearing Yang Ying's report, Li Zhi touched his chin and muttered thoughtfully: "This time, Liu Bian may have also taken the bait."
Although he has no soldiers and horses in his hands, he has great righteousness in his hands.
As long as he gives an order, he will deprive Benhou of his official title, and then beat Benhou as a traitor.
When the time comes, the people of the family will be righteous in their hands, so as to improve the morale of their own side.
However, it's nothing, this world is still respected by strength in the final analysis.
No matter how high the morale of the family's army is, it is just an army composed of a group of slaves, and there is no threat at all.
Now, Ben Hou's biggest worry is Dong Zhuo, no matter what Dong Zhuo says, he has been in Luoyang City for so long, it is impossible for him not to detect the rumors in the market.
This rumor is likely to be released by him, in order to provoke some weak-willed families to encircle and suppress Benhou.
Then, he and Benhou were both defeated to achieve the goal of weakening Benhou.
Of course, these are all speculations on the part of Ben Hou. Nor can we fully believe it.
However, now is a critical moment, and Dong Zhuo needs to be on guard. ”
Speaking of this, he commanded Yang Ying on the side: "Boxiong, you go ......"
He leaned on Yang Ying's ear and said like this.
"Whoa!" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Yang Ying responded and hurried away.
Looking at the back of Yang Ying leaving, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked up to the sky and whispered
He smiled, "This time it's up to you to see how many fish you can catch."
I really hope Dong Zhuo will also take the bait!
It's a pity that there is a Li Ru next to him, and it is unlikely that he will take the bait. ”
At this moment, Guo Jia walked out of Wei's house.
Seeing this, Li Zhi stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Brother Xian, how is it?" How did those people fool you? ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he said angrily: "Brother, since you know that those people want to fool Jia, why do you still send Jia to negotiate?"
You must know that the people in there are all Jia's enemies, and it took a lot of effort for Jia to suppress the anger in his heart.
If it weren't for his brother's earnest advice, Jia would probably only attack the Wei family with his troops, instead of entering it and negotiating with them. ”
This morning, Guo Jia was sent by Li Zhi to negotiate with the Wei family.
Because, today is the third day, and the time that Li Zhi gave to the Wei family has expired.
Guo Jia was originally unwilling to go to the Wei family, but for the sake of Li Zhi's plan, he could only barely suppress his anger.
After hearing Guo Jia's complaints, Li Zhi comforted with a smile: "Brother Xian's hatred doesn't need to be in a hurry, anyway, the Wei family is already in our hands, where else can he go?" There is always a time for revenge!
The reason why Brother Wei asked Brother Xian to go to the Wei family to negotiate was to give them a reassurance.
so that they may know that Brother Wei has fallen for their delays.
lest they retreat at this critical moment.
Although, Brother Wei really wants to kill them all, but Brother Wei wants to leave a good impression on the world, and doesn't want others to think that he is bullying others.
Therefore, if the brother wants to destroy the Wei family, he needs a reason, and the Wei family deceived the brother is a good reason. ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it considered a bully if my brother led his troops to besiege the Wei family?"
Why bother? ”
Li Zhi smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "This world is like this.
You can do evil, but you need to put on a gorgeous cloak for your actions.
For example, like Brother Wei, Brother Wei really wants to destroy the Wei family, but Brother Wei will find a proper reason before slaughtering the Wei family.
In this way, people in the world will not regard being a brother as a narrow-minded villain. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed secretly in his heart.
At the beginning, when he first came to this world, what he hated the most was actually the kind of person he is now.
But after all this time, he also became the person he hated the most, which really made him a little melancholy.
However, he does not regret it, the world is like this, when you don't have the power to change the world, you can only follow it and blend into it.
When you have the power to change the world, you can live according to your own ideas.
Although Li Zhi seems to be powerful now, for the whole world, his power can only be said to be better than nothing, and self-protection is more than enough, but it is even more difficult to change the world.
After hearing Li Zhi's explanation, Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully: "Since my brother wants to find a reason to destroy the Wei family, why don't you use Yi'er as a reason?"
As long as the elder brother announces Yi'er's affairs to the world, everyone in the world will understand what the elder brother has done. ”
"Alas......" After Li Zhi sighed, he shook his head: "You can't use Yi'er as a reason!"
This matter is too big, and if Yi'er's matter is announced to the world, I am afraid it will have an adverse impact on his growth.
Yi'er is a disciple of his brother, and he tries his best to protect him from harm for the brotherhood.
Until he grows up and can face society on his own, he will leave it alone for his brother. ”
Speaking of this, he waved his sleeves: "Now, let's let us adults shelter them from the wind and rain." ”
"Thank you, brother" Guo Jia bowed to him gratefully after hearing Li Zhi's explanation.
Then, he asked puzzledly: "Brother, Yi'er's matter is in Luoyang City, I'm afraid it's not a secret at all, is it useful for my brother to do this?"
Isn't Yi'er now exposed to the eyes of the world's families? ”
"Humph!" After Li Zhileng snorted, he said: "Find a reason for my brother, it is the people of the world who are fooling, not the family."
As for the people of the family......
As long as they win this battle for their brother, they don't dare to talk nonsense!
Even if they knew that this matter was caused by Yi'er, they would only keep their mouths shut and dare not say anything about it.
Because they are afraid of angering their brother, as long as they win this war, their power in Luoyang City can be said to be unmatched, even if it is Dong Zhuo, they can only lie in wait.
At that time, whatever the brother says will be the truth, even if it is a lie, they will listen to it as the truth! ”
"I see." Guo Jia nodded knowingly.
Seeing that Guo Jia had already understood his thoughts, Li Zhi asked, "Brother Xian, when you went to the Wei family today, how did they fool you?" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Guo Jia with interest.
He was very interested in the words of the people of the Wei family.
After Guo Jia heard this, his face was full of depression, and he said hatefully: "Those people just treat us like fools!" ”
"Oh?" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Li Zhi frowned, which was a bit unexpected by him, so he hurriedly asked, "What did they say?" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "When Jia went to Wei's house, they were very enthusiastic, and they kept drinking and singing.
However, when Jia asked them whether they would surrender or not, they talked about him left and right, and did not say anything practical at all.
When Jia got a little impatient and continued to ask, they asked Jia to give them another three days. Let them think about it. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother, look, isn't this obviously perfunctory?"
Even if they want to delay time, they also think of a better reason, why is it so straightforward? ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia frowned and asked: "The Wei family can also be regarded as a big family, and there are many capable people among them, it is impossible not to even think of a reason to delay time, they are so straightforward, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy in it!" ”
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Li Zhi frowned tightly.
After a long time, Li Zhi asked, "And then?" After they said this blunt reason, did you come back? ”
After finishing speaking, he stared straight at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia also saw Li Zhi's eyes, and after nodding inexplicably, he said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm back, what else is there going on there?"
The elder brother asked Jia to ask them if they surrendered or not, and they gave the answer, of course Jia is coming back, what are you still doing there? ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xian, I'm afraid you have fallen for the tricks of the people of the Wei family!" ”
After finishing speaking, he sighed: "It seems that there are also capable people in this Wei family!" ”
After hearing Li Zhi's words, Guo Jia hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you mean when you say that Jia won the Wei family's plan?" ”
"Alas!" After Li Zhi sighed, he said, "I'm afraid that the people of the Wei family have long suspected the motive of being a brother.
Even, they had already guessed what Brother Wei wanted to do.
However, speculation is only speculation, and they are not sure.
Therefore, when the virtuous brother went to the Wei family to negotiate, they deceived the virtuous brother.
They deliberately used such a straightforward reason to fool the virtuous brother, just to test the virtuous brother.
If the virtuous brother is not satisfied, and continues to bargain with them, or even becomes angry, then they will not be aware of the brother's plan.
But the virtuous brother had an indifferent attitude, and after entering the Wei family, he didn't have much defense at all.
After hearing this excuse to delay time, the virtuous brother didn't care at all, and he didn't bargain.
Therefore, they must have understood that Brother Wei not only has to deal with their Wei family, but also fishing.
Therefore, in this war, the Wei family may not intervene. ”
"Oops!" After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Guo Jia slapped his forehead with remorse on his face, and said loudly: "Careless, careless!"
Jia originally went to the Wei family with an indifferent attitude, but he didn't expect them to cheat.
What a carelessness! Life has been too comfortable these days, forget about it! ”
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia bowed deeply to Li Zhi: "This time it is Jia who ruined his brother's plan, please forgive my brother!" ”
"It doesn't matter." After Li Zhi shook his head, he said weakly: "This can't be blamed on you, since you came to Luoyang, you haven't fought with anyone at all except for being in charge of the intelligence department for your brother."
I am afraid that I have almost forgotten the methods of intrigue in the past, and I carelessly fell into the Wei family's plan for a while, so that my brother can understand. ”
After hearing Li Zhi's comfort, Guo Jia straightened up, frowned and asked, "Why does my brother believe that the people of the Wei family will not participate in this encirclement and suppression?"
Aren't they afraid that after their brother has exterminated the people of the family, he will come back to deal with them?
Moreover, this encirclement and suppression are all caused by them, if they don't move, then their reputation will be stinky! ”
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Compared to the life and death of the family, it is not worth mentioning with a little face......
