CHAPTER XLII

"Congratulations to the general, boy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" also leaned lazily on the head of the bed and watched Lin Yao walk in, without saluting.

Lin Yao didn't care, sat on the chair that Chen Ping moved before, and laughed. "Yao Neng is fortunate today, Mr. is indispensable!"

He shook his head, beckoned the maid, and put the teapot and teacup on the bed. He opened a new cup, poured Lin Yao a cup of tea and handed it over. "When the general occupies the sky, there are people on the side, and everyone helps him, so how can he not succeed? What do you have to do with the boy? ā€

He took a slight sip of the tea in his cup and looked at Lin Yao with a smile.

"The first emperor was in poor health, and it was a time for the court to exchange the old for the new. Yang Jing not only did not obey the mandate of heaven, regardless of everyone's feelings, and insisted on making his seven-year-old son an enemy alone, so naturally no one could help him. Moreover, even though the first emperor had Marshal Wu Zhu's loyalty, he never thought that the eunuch party had been comfortable for many years, and how could he follow him to fight the danger of winning one-tenth with his life. Moreover, even if this game is won, it will not be beneficial for the eunuchs, but it is better to wait and see.

The time and the people are destined for Yang Jing to sail against the current. Even though he had a three-point chance of winning, he lost two points in the palace infighting and one point in the flaws in the game. Even if there are no children, there will be people who will help the general, or the eunuch, or the clan. The general will only have no danger and get through this unscathed. So, it's not the kid's work. ā€

"Sir is too modest." Lin Yao drank all the tea in one gulp, playing with the small teacup.

"I'm afraid it won't go so well."

If the solar terms are mentioned, the farmer knows best; When it comes to chess games, it is natural that chess players know what they want.

Lin Yao originally thought that with his status and ability, the victory was firmly in his hands. But he didn't expect that just when he thought that the other party would be unable to escape, he was actually calculated by Xiang Ling and Yang Jing.

If there is no fake fire to burn the Vermilion Bird Hall at that time, induce Empress Dowager Yang to tell where the secret passage to the Vermilion Bird Hall is. If you don't rush to the Suzaku Hall at the first time, you won't have a clean ...... Assassinate Xiang Ling.

If he also accepted Xiang Ling's recruitment, then what awaited Lin Yao was only to be forced to behead the entire clan in the name of rebellion.

At the same time, there is this uncle who intends to rebel, and even Xiang Chang and Lin Yuji will be involved together and lose the opportunity to become the unification.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao, who has always been old and calm, couldn't ignore the clothes soaked in cold sweat behind his back

Victory and death happen only in a moment for him.

It only happens at the thought of Yijiang.

"The appearance of Mr. is God's help to Lin Yaohe." He let out a long sigh of relief.

The high-spirited young man in front of him is not only a bold and unruly person, but also a strange person who moves with talent and succeeds.

"When the first emperor opened his mouth to give the seal, Yao thought that his life would be short." Lin Yao now thinks of the scene at that time, and he still feels scared in his heart

also hooked the corners of his mouth, and his face was a little sarcastic. "The husband moves from time to time, in the eyes of the general, the kid is the short-sighted person?

The first emperor recruited An, which was only a temporary strategy. Obeying the first emperor, I still can't change my cloth clothes, or I am a thief. I'm one level lower than Yang Jing, and I'll settle the accounts after the autumn, I'm afraid there will be no good results. Who will do the business that is stable and unprofitable. ā€

The teacup will also be placed on the bed.

Xiang Ling's attempt to recruit himself did not surprise him. But in the dark, he felt that Yang Jing's behavior was inconsistent, which made him incomprehensible.

Since Yang Jing has the ability to send someone to arrest Ming Xiang, it seems that he has long known that he has done it and dominated everything. Since this is the case, he could have used Ming Xiang to hold himself hostage from the beginning, so why bother to go to the last step.

And, as a child of the clan, how could the proud and conceited Yang Jing think of using the woman he loves to achieve his goals.

Shouldn't the pride of being the number one talent in the capital make Yang Jing desperate in the end and end up with himself to open a clear road for Xiang Ning? If he is allowed to hide like a mouse, how can Yang Jingqing, who has always been a noble son, be embarrassed.

will also be contemplative.

It is not so much that Yang Jing set up this series of contradictory and lame plays, and then left a follow-up move, a more reasonable explanation is ......

Rather, it seems that there is another pair of big hands leaping on the chessboard, and they have seen through their every move. But the owner of these hands did not seem to intend to help Yang Jing, or rather, he was not hostile to himself for the time being.

Who could such a person be?

He also raised his eyebrows and hid the doubts in his eyes.

"The general has figured out how to face Li Cheng's request?"

Surprise crossed Lin Yao's face. "Sir is really like a god."

Li Cheng's request naturally refers to the way in which the eunuchs are handled.

"Do you have any suggestions, sir?" Lin Yao pondered for a moment.

Although he is now a veritable second-rank general, Lin Yao still habitually calls him Mr. when he asks for advice.

"The eunuch party has to be removed. If he stays, the general will not have the support of the clan, and it will be difficult to sustain himself. But if you want to get rid of it, Gonggong Yuan and others have helped the general and Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother many times, which is very unreasonable. If you go out to the eunuch party, the general will be too powerful, and he will be afraid of being like a dangerous egg. ā€

"That's what I thought, and I was in a dilemma." Lin Yao sighed deeply, and there was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows.

Yijiang shook his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth arced upward, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"The general is blindsided."

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yao hurriedly asked.

"The general should know better than the boy. Things in this world are not black and white, and there is no reason why you can only choose one or the other. Yijiang stood up, walked to the window, dipped his fingers in tea, and sketched the border map of Chu on the window paper.

"General, please look, within the border of my Chu State, is there only Luoyang?"

His index finger landed on the boundary of Liangzhou on the map.

The cool breeze of the night quickly licked the tea on the window paper, leaving only Lin Yao with a thoughtful, but still confused look.

Yi Jiang smiled. "I have thirteen prefectures and counties in the Chu Dynasty, among which Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Jizhou are the most special. After the eunuchs took control of the government, the treasury was empty, the officials and the people were chaotic, and there were even more benevolent people, since the Julu uprising, there were many responses from all over the country. ā€

"Sir, you mean?" Lin Yao's face was written with disbelief.

"The uprising was raging, and all the states and counties begged the imperial court to release power and grain, and give certain self-control rights and soldiers. Among them, these three states are the worst, is it ...... General rest assured? ā€

Of course not.

How can you let others snore next to the couch!

also told Lin Yao clearly, in addition to Luoyang, there are a large number of princes who have long been obedient to the imperial court, holding the power of military and financial power, and mercenaries are self-reliant. And these people are like needles piercing into the cracks of their fingernails, threatening the safety of Luoyang and Kyoto all the time.

Even if Lin Yao could ascend to that position below one person, what about the position above ten thousand people?

Lin Yao narrowed his eyes dangerously, thinking about the meaning of Yijiang's words.

"What does the eunuch party have to do with the princes?" His fingers also unconsciously drew a map, following the hints of Yijiang to move over Liangzhou and Jizhou.

Liangzhou is on the verge of the border, and there are many intermarriages with the Hu people, among whom many people are brave and good at fighting but lack of strategy. The current Liangzhou Governor is Dong Xin, one of the generals who made contributions in the Julu Uprising, with 50,000 elite soldiers. Dong Xin is righteous and bold, likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, and treats guests politely, and has a very good reputation, even the people of Yingchuan have many defections.

If it comes to the thirteen states and counties of the Chu Dynasty, Liangzhou must be Lin Yao's henchman, and there is no one.

And Jizhou ......

Li Xiang, the assassin of Jizhou, is a branch of the Li family in Luoyang, and has always regarded Li Cheng as the patriarch of the family, but all Li Cheng's opinions are supported without hesitation. There are also 30,000 people in Jizhou, and there are three places to store grain.

If there is a way to pit the two......

Lin Yao got up suddenly, and unconsciously smashed the coffee table in the room with one palm.

He looked at Yijiang in surprise.

Seeing that he had finally figured it out, he raised his eyebrows. "The general is scared?"
