Chen Ziqian immediately raised his eyebrows, if these are true, then the problem is much more complicated.

Xu Linfeng served under the command of Tongzhou Thorn Shi, but Xu Daotai served under Zeng Yuanqi, the two brothers appeared in Tongzhou at the same time, and they were also connected to these recent events, which seems to be a subtle coincidence, but it seems to have some kind of inevitable connection.

But what could it be?

Luo Taibai was also quite surprised by this, and muttered: "Xu Daotai actually took refuge in Zeng Yuanqi? ”

"Tell me about this person first." Chen Ziqian looked at Luo Taibai with a serious face, whether it was Xu Linfeng or Xu Daotai, the camp of the two of them was currently a fierce rival in Yong'an.

As the old saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and if you can learn more about your opponent, you naturally can't let it go.

Luo Taibai shook his head and said: "I don't have anything to do with Xu Daotai, I met at a gathering of five factions two years ago, and the situation was a little embarrassing, because Xu Daotai was expelled from the division by the Donglu faction that day, and it was his brother Xu Linfeng who came to lead it." ”

"Do you know why you were expelled from the school?" Chen Ziqian became interested, the people in the five factions can basically be called military strategists and strategists, whether they are marching and fighting or arranging troops, they are the top existences in the world.

Each faction has its own habits of using troops, according to Chen Ziqian's understanding, the Eastern ruthless faction is mainly based on deterrence, using various means to make the enemy fearful, such as slaughtering cities, exterminating the clan, etc., the means used are too brutal and unkind, which has always been the reason for the criticism of the Eastern ruthless faction.

However, if this faction wants to expel its disciples, what kind of serious mistake must it make to do so?

Luo Taibai pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know the specific situation, I heard that it is because of disobedience to the division commander, whether the specific situation is only known to the people of their ruthless faction." ”

"Just because of disobedience to the division commander?" Chen Ziqian frowned slightly, feeling a little unreasonable.

The Eastern Ruthless faction is a ruthless character who dares to slaughter the city and destroy the entire clan, and this faction will make a big fuss because of disobedience to the master, and expel the disciples who have been cultivated so hard from the division?

How perverse is this?

"Lord, now is not the time to care about Xu Daotai, I am worried that the envoy Deng sent by the Assassin Shi has not returned for a long time to restore his life, and the Tongzhou Assassin will definitely not give up." Luo Taibai frowned, when he used his troops to make a move, what he was most afraid of was that multiple fronts would break out at the same time.

With Yong'an's current strength, it can't be resisted!

"Isn't it a serial set?" Chen Ziqian narrowed his pupils slightly and said: "Originally, I felt that it was not normal for Thorn Shi to write to the imperial court inexplicably, and appoint Lao Tzu as Yong'an Taishou, but now listening to everyone's analysis, I am basically sure that this must be the idea of that Xu Linfeng." ”

"The lord means ......" Luo Taibai is a smart person, and when he heard this, he connected the two brothers Xu Linfeng and Xu Daotai together.

One of the two brothers has a paranoid personality, and he has a lot of prejudices about the history of the Tongzhou assassin, and it is because of Jing Ce Nian that he agreed to work for the history of the Tongzhou assassin, and now that Jing Ce Nian is gone, Xu Linfeng must have ulterior motives.

In addition, Xu Daotai is not a good thing, a ruthless person who was expelled from the division is probably also ambitious.

If the two join forces, then Zeng Yuanqi and Tongzhou Thorn Shi can't play with them.

Luo Taibai pondered for a moment and said: "Xu Linfeng first instigated the assassin to pretend to show favor to us, and then sent an envoy to let us send troops to attack Pingyong, did he guess from the beginning that the lord would not agree to send troops, so he set up a situation for us to reach an alliance with Zeng Yuanqi to deal with the assassin history together?" ”

"But this is not right, Xu Linfeng is still under the command of the assassin Shi, even if he wants to stab Shi back, he will not use such means, and it will not do him any good in doing so." Luo Taibai felt that his thoughts were a little chaotic, and he was a little confused for a while.

After all, the result of this directly led to the confrontation between the two brothers, Xu Linfeng and Xu Daotai.

Chen Ziqian is also confused about this, but it can be seen from this that all this must not be as simple as imagined, and it is likely to be a bureau set up by the two brothers Xu Linfeng and Xu Daotai.

"Send someone to Huaizhou immediately, closely monitor every move on the side of Tongzhou Assassin, and report back as soon as there is any situation!"

Due to the lack of intelligence, there is no way to make further analysis and judgment on many issues, and now that the use of troops is imminent, we can only take one step at a time and focus on dealing with Huaihua before talking about other things.

……

Green County, Huaizhou, during the national funeral, the whole city was in a state of silence.

As a minister, Sun Weiyang, the assassin of Tongzhou, was dressed in white plain clothes, sitting on the high hall of the government and listening to the martial arts talk about the current situation in the world.

Recently, in addition to those who are doing things in the north, the most interesting thing is of course the imperial capital.

Your Majesty's new funeral should have been mourned by the whole country, but in the midst of chaos, the princes everywhere rarely observed etiquette.

Regardless of the east and south, the king of Yunzhou alone disregarded the ethics at all, and after receiving the edict of succession, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses, gathered 100,000 troops to prepare for war at the gate of the imperial capital, and could launch an attack on the imperial capital at any time.

At this time, the general was busy supporting the new monarch to succeed to the throne, and at the same time was busy with the funeral of the first emperor.

Many ministers in the court have been deposed and dismissed, and without the noise of civil officials, the general has simplified many funeral rites, and it has only been a few days before the first emperor is buried.

After the new monarch Sun Miao succeeded to the throne, in order to appease the people of the world, he changed his name to 'Kangning' and officially became the nineteenth emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Sun Miao was only eight years old, and he inherited the throne ignorantly, and he didn't understand the government or the overall situation of the world at all.

To put it bluntly, this is the puppet emperor promoted by the general, and he has no right to speak at all in major matters, and he will promise whatever the general says.

But Sun Miao is ignorant and ignorant, but the other princes are not stupid, especially the princes who have become adults, and they are quite dissatisfied with the general's behavior of supporting the royal family on the surface, but actually stealing the country.

It's a pity that they have no real power in their hands, and they don't dare to argue with the general openly, so they can only collude with the royal family behind their backs and repeatedly write to confront them.

The general also had a countermeasure to this, in order to avoid the right to speak gradually fall into the hands of the royal family, he openly appointed his relatives as officials in the imperial city, and the positions of the three princes were all his subordinates, as well as other important positions, almost replacing the entire court with his own staff.

The wolf's ambition is clearly revealed, the general's move is tantamount to usurping power and standing on his own, I am afraid it won't be long, and even the only royal family who can still compete with him will have to wait to be killed.

"It's a pity that my lord is far away in Huaizhou, and he doesn't have the right to transfer troops into Beijing, if not, how can he be so arrogant by the traitor Pan Lin."

"What's the use of going back now, the general and the king each have hundreds of thousands of troops, even if my lord has the heart to share the worries of the Son of Heaven, it will be difficult to turn things around on his own."

"In the overall situation, the Lord should return to Tongzhou as soon as possible and wait for the development of the situation."

"Rank this difference." Under the hall, Xu Linfeng put his hands behind his back and said: "At this time, the king of the king disregards the code of ethics, this is a great rebellion, even if the edict of succession in his hand is true, now the Son of Heaven has succeeded to the throne, and it is difficult for the king to turn up any waves, as for the general Pan Lin, this chaotic minister and thief control the government, it is no different from being a cocoon to bind himself, my lord should collect as much territory as possible, consolidate his own strength, and leave a useful body to wait for the Son of Heaven to recruit, so that in the future, the chaos in the world can be calmed down for the Son of Heaven." ”

"Isn't this move of the military advisor to sit back and watch the traitors grow stronger and stronger, and the Son of Heaven is humiliated?" Someone opened his mouth to retort.

But some people agreed: "I think the military advisor is right, the world is in chaos, the court has gone through the party of Fangshi, and it has long been exhausted, and the princes of all parts of the world have risen together, so chaos, how can it be calmed down overnight?" Our lord can still continue to develop his strength outside, and the general is trapped in the belly of the imperial city and is suffering from the enemy, and under the advantages of one another, he will sooner or later have a place for my lord. ”

Sun Weiyang listened to everyone's discussion and was deeply convinced of Xu Linfeng's statement.

As a member of the royal family, his heart has always been towards the court.

But at this juncture, even if he raises the strength of the two states to march into King Qin, it will be useless, even if he can fight the general and the king, it will definitely be a waste of strength, and he will not be able to deal with the princes of the world in the future, and the overall situation of the world will only be more chaotic at that time.

At this time, the best way is to let the general and the king eat each other, and after the situation in the imperial capital is stable, he will march to King Qin, and the effect will naturally be much better than now.

Sun Weiyang was a little impatient, stood up and said: "The recent siege of Pingchuan has achieved remarkable results, military division, the time has come, when can our troops send troops to unify Huaizhou?" ”
