"What clues?" Liu Hong asked, he didn't want to waste time on these seemingly unrelated issues, he just wanted to know what to do next? What can you do?

But at the same time, Liu Hong also knew that he didn't have the ability to speculate on more things, but Zheng Zhen knew all about these things in the officialdom, if there was another person in the capital who could help Li Zhen, then this person must be Zheng Zhen.

So Liu Hong had no choice but to follow Zheng Jin's words.

"There is no Ma Yuanzhen among them!" Yan Heng on the side was the first to say.

Only then did Liu Hong discover that among the so-called "traitors" listed by Qiu Shiliang, there was no name of Ma Yuanzhen.

"Because he is dead, Qiu Shiliang never trusted Ma Yuanzhen from the beginning, so he wants to use Ma Yuanzhen's hatred in exchange for the loyalty of the soldiers of the Left Army!"

"How do you know?!" Liu Hong looked at Yan Heng in surprise.

Yan Heng was originally a rough man, and it was a big surprise for Liu Hong to be able to say this.

Yan Heng was slightly stunned, his eyes quickly dimmed, "What Da Lang said ......"

Zheng Jin couldn't help but nod after hearing this, if this is the case, everything will make sense.

"So what?" Liu Hong asked.

"So we have to send someone to the Eastern Capital!"

"Then I'll go!"

At that moment, a voice sounded outside the door, and then the door opened.

The person who came was one of Li Zhen's five personal guards, Liu Guan.

Zheng Ji smiled and said, "It's only you who is the most suitable to go, the five big and three are the most like a boatman!" ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Hong looked embarrassed and said: "Now that the nine city gates are closed by Jin Wuwei, how can we get out?" ”

Zheng Jinlang laughed loudly, "The snow is falling suddenly, the weather is as cold as winter, what do the nobles in the capital need most?" ”

After hearing this, Zhao Wan suddenly said: "It's firewood!" ”

"Yes, it's firewood, this year's weather is very abnormal, and last year's firewood has already been used up, even if Jin Wuwei blocks the city gate, but the firewood of Nanshan still needs to be transported in! This is not only related to the well-being of those nobles in the capital, but also to the livelihood of the people in the entire capital, and no one dares to be stubborn in this kind of thing! ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "The firewood of Zhongnan Mountain comes in from the Cao Canal of Jinguangmen on the west side of Chang'an County, and then it is transported to Xishi, as long as Liu Guan can mix in with the boatmen who transport firewood, he can go out of the city smoothly, I will go to do this!" ”

Liu Hong got up and straightened his robe, with a smug smile on his face.

After Liu Hong left, Zhao Wan asked worriedly: "I hope Liu Hong will go well!" ”

Zheng Zheng said with a smile: "It will definitely go well, those boatmen worked hard to bring in these firewood, isn't it just for a money?" And the only thing Liu Hong doesn't lack is money! ”

......

Weinan County.

Weinan County is only 100 miles away from Lishan, and it was the next day when Li Zhen and the two brothers led Pi Yuanshi to arrive outside Weinan County.

"General Li, what about the people you are talking about? You're not going to tell us we're all in the city, are you? ”

The city gate of Weinan County in front of him was already faintly visible, but there were no soldiers and horses on the way, not even a war horse, which could not help but make Qi Yuanshi suspicious.

Thousands of soldiers and horses, even if they are disguised and disguised, entering the city will inevitably alarm the local patrol and even garrison the local Shence army.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Yes, then we might as well not be in a hurry to enter the city!" ”

Pi Yuanshi snorted coldly and didn't speak, and now in such a field, he can only be at the mercy of Li Zhen.

"Vice-Ambassador!" Li Zhen spoke again, pointed to a mound that looked like it was built artificially to the south, and said, "The terrain is higher there, so you must be able to see farther!" If the deputy envoy doesn't mind, we might as well go up and have a look! ”

Pi Yuanshi nodded, and took the lead in riding his horse towards the mound, and Li Zhen and Li Mo followed closely behind.

Pi Yuanshi took the first step, and when Li Zhen and Li Mo were just halfway up, Pi Yuanshi had already reached the top of the hill.

Looking at Pi Yuanshi's back, Li Mo's face was a little ugly, and he looked at Li Zhen from time to time, as if he had something to say.

"I know what you're trying to say!" Li Zhen simply grabbed the reins.

After hearing this, Li Mo finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you really want to be like this?" Isn't there any other way? ”

Li Zhen shook his head, pointed to Pi Yuanshi's back, and said, "Do you know what he is thinking?" ”

Without waiting for Li Mo to answer, Li Zhen then said: "He is thinking about how to get the greatest benefit between us and Qiu Shiliang as much as possible, for this purpose, he can kill Qiu Shiliang, or he can kill us without hesitation, do you think at that time, will he be merciful?" ”

Li Mo didn't answer because he didn't know the answer and didn't want to know.

Then Li Zhen pointed to the two hundred elite horsemen at the foot of the mound and said, "When Pi Yuanshi gives this order, will these people show mercy to our subordinates?" ”

"But they are soldiers, they only obey the orders of the upper peak!" Li Mo argued.

"Yes, they are soldiers, just like the knife in your hand, when your knife is pointed at the enemy, it is a weapon of loyalty to the country, but when you point it at your comrades and innocent people, it is your weapon of evil!"

Li Zhen looked at Li Mo, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "So, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first destroy the enemy's murder weapon!" ”

In the face of Li Zhen's explanation, Li Mo did not agree, but he was not good at words, but he was irrefutable.

After saying that, Li Zhen didn't pay attention to Li Mo anymore, but urged the horse to take care of himself and walked towards the top of the hill.

Looking at his brother's back, Li Mo suddenly felt a little strange, but even so, he knew that he would still stay by his brother's side.

He had been standing on the top of the mound for a long time, and what was puzzling was that he still maintained a posture, facing south, with his hands down.

When he arrived at the top of the hill, Li Zhen dismounted and stood with his back to Pi Yuanshi, and Li Zhen did not look at Pi Yuanshi from beginning to end.

Pi Yuanshi faces south, while Li Zhen faces north, and no one knows what the two are looking at.

"General Li is really calculating!"

Finally, Pi Yuanshi was the first to speak.

Li Zhen withdrew his gaze, leaned over to look at the two hundred elite riders under his feet, and said with a smile: "I just don't want to die!" ”

"Our family thought that Qiu Shiliang was the most terrible person I had met in my life, but today I found out that the most terrible person is actually you!"

"The deputy envoy has won the award, even if he has all kinds of plans, but in the end he is afraid of death!"

Pi Yuanshi sneered and said, "Judging by their appearance, there is no doubt that they are Tang people, but I hate those stupid scouts that have been deceived so easily!" ”

"The Shence Army is the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and it does take a lot of brains to deceive them, it is not difficult to get some clothes and weapons from Hebei, and it is not difficult to imitate some flags, the difficulty is to keep a sufficient distance from the scouts of the forbidden army, so that they can see their clothes clearly, but they can't see their faces clearly!"

Li Zhen said lightly, as if he was talking about something that could be caught.

At this time, Li Mo finally followed, and was just about to speak, but the corner of his eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qi Yuanshi's front.

And at this moment, Li Mo's expression froze instantly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the front of Qi Yuanshi, and said in horror: "He...... They are ......"
