Zhai Rang's letter mainly tells about the current chaotic situation in Henan and the difficult situation of the Wagang people, as well as the pessimistic prediction of the situation, its real intentions are hidden between the lines, people who don't want to see "lively", people who are similar to "doorways", and this letter has neither a title, nor a payment, no need for any underworld codes, so Li Mi understands at a glance.
Li Mi belongs to the people who read the "doorway", and with his understanding of Han Xiangguo, of course he knows the hidden meaning behind this letter, and he also knows the meaning of Han Xiangguo handing this letter to himself, and he is very happy about Han Xiangguo's move. He quietly came to Songcheng with a mission, and urgently needed the support and cooperation of Han Xiangguo, especially the trust of Han Xiangguo, but Han Xiangguo is not what it used to be, and has already grown into the most powerful local nobleman on the front line of Tongji Canal, with his own interests and demands, and whether the two sides can tacitly cooperate on the basis of trust actually depends on whether the two sides can agree on their interests. Li Mi was quite worried about this, but to his surprise, Han Xiangguo immediately sent him a secret letter to express his loyalty to his benefactor and his willingness to actively cooperate with Li Mi's cooperative attitude.
Li Mi was full of confidence, and he believed that with the help of Han Xiangguo, a local tycoon, the possibility of completing the secret mission of this trip to Tongji Canal was greatly increased.
Li Mi carefully read the letter, and then sorted, deduced and pondered the many complicated information revealed in the letter, and gradually sorted out the clues.
The letter writer is obviously an underworld tyrant, and Han Xiangguo belongs to the alliance, forced by the extreme deterioration of the situation in Henan, survival has fallen into a crisis, so you must choose between raising the flag to rebel and taking refuge in the river, but the goal of the alliance between the white thief and the Southwest Lu Rebel Army is Tongji Canal, and Han Xiangguo, as the largest underworld boss on the front line of Tongji Canal, has inevitably been involved in this war, and the loss of its interests is incalculable. will be unfavorable to Han Xiangguo, and there is even the possibility of turning against Han Xiangguo and killing each other.
Considering the alliance between the two sides before the situation deteriorated, and considering the common interests of both sides on the front line of Tongji Canal, the letter writer asked Han Sang-kook for help, what should we do next?
This is not just a matter of the writer alone, but an urgent matter that all local forces, large and small, large and small, on the front line of the Tongji Canal, both large and small, urgently need to solve, and the decision to solve this matter will not only be related to everyone's survival and development, but also related to the situation of the entire Central Plains and even the trend of the political situation in the Eastern Capital. Han Xiangguo knew this very well, he didn't dare to make decisions lightly, he knew where his strength came from, and he knew that his strength was completely vulnerable under the huge power of his benefactor Yang Xuangan. Li Mi is to deal with the Tongjiqu crisis on behalf of the political group with the benefactor Yang Xuangan as the leader, and such important decisions must be made by Li Mi, and only the decisions that are in line with the interests of the political group are the best and most beneficial decisions for their own development, so he did not hesitate to ask Li Mi for advice.
"Who wrote this letter?" Li Mi asked.
"Dongjun Zhai Rang." Han Xiangguo replied, "Before the White Horse prison robbery case broke last year, he was the county government law Cao Shuzuo. ”
Li Mi bowed slightly, knowing it in his chest.
Although the Dongjun Zhai clan belongs to the third-rate aristocracy in Henan, its power spans the three counties of Dongjun, Liang County and Jiyin, and it has a strong strength in the underworld on the big river, Tongji Canal and Jishui Road. Before Zhai Rang was imprisoned last year, he and Han Xiangguo of Liang County and Han Yao of Qian County had always been in an alliance, and the three local forces firmly controlled the private interests of the underworld on the Tongji Canal. After the preparations for the Eastern Crusade began, in order to strengthen the security of the Grand Canal, the Eastern Capital intensified its crackdown on the underworld forces on both sides of the canal. Han Xiangguo has always wanted to monopolize the private interests of the underworld of Tongjiqu, and Yang Xuangan also intends to control the front line of Tongjiqu, so the two sides hit it off, taking the opportunity of the Eastern Capital to crack down on thieves, and with the help of the hand of the imperial historian who patrolled the counties, he was the first to defeat Zhai Rang of Dongjun.
However, one thing that was originally nine out of ten was shocking to the Eastern Capital because of the sky-high fire in the White Horse Prison Robbery Case, and it also implicated the Boling Cui clan, and the result was that the guide was suddenly complicated, Yang Xuangan and Han Xiangguo even lost control of the whole incident for a while, and the final ending was even more dumbfounded. Although Zhai Rang's local forces were hit, they still existed from "white" to "black", but it was Han Xiangguo's loyal ally who was completely destroyed, and Han Yao, who was not within the scope of the attack at all, that is to say, Yang Xuangan and Han Xiangguo's purpose of implementing this plan was not achieved. And because of the political storm caused by the Baima prison robbery case and the Mangdang thief robbery Tongji Canal case, Yang Xuangan suffered huge losses, and the three counties of Dongjun, Liang County and Qian County were almost all replaced, and Liang County and Qian County belonged to the past Song Prefecture, which made Yang Xuangan's political power in Song Prefecture have been lost by more than half, but fortunately, Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the opponent of the political government, also resigned, and "matched" to the poor mountains and remote places, which can be regarded as masturbation.
And the key reason why the incident is out of control is that the white thief Li Fengyun fell from the sky.
Yang Xuangan began to investigate Li Fengyun, but it was too difficult, and basically he couldn't find any clues, and no one knew the real reason why he ordered a group of Liaodong horse thieves to be escorted to the Eastern Capital unless Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu spoke. This group of horse thieves has been robbed and killed many times along the way, so who is the one who controls the robbers? Why rob and kill? And who is the target? Is it the white thief Li Fengyun? The White Horse was only a few hundred miles away from the Eastern Capital, and who would dare to be so rampant as to order the dead soldiers to rob and kill the prisoners in broad daylight?
Yang Xuangan changed his target and turned to find the identity of the robber. This time he found a clue, and this clue turned out to point to the Turks. Why did the Turks rob and kill a group of Liaodong horse thieves in Middle-earth? Who did the Turks target? The clue was interrupted, the robbers were all dead, the non-dead were all missing, and the group of horse thieves except for Bai Li Fengyun, the rest were all dead, and not a single one could be found.
This time, Li Mi secretly rushed to Tongji Canal, and one of his important missions was to investigate Bai Li Fengyun. Yang Xuangan firmly believes that if Bai Li Fengyun is the person who Yuwenshu wants to escort to the Eastern Capital, and is the target of the Turks to assassinate, then the secret that Li Fengyun knows will definitely cause a storm in the Eastern Capital, but what makes Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others wonder is that if Bai Li Fengyun is the target of Yuwenshu and the Turks, why didn't he hide it incognito, but instead rebelled in a high-profile manner and made it known to the world?
After Li Mi pondered for a while, he asked again, "White thief Li Fengyun, how much do you know?" There should be some secrets between Zhai Rang and the white thief Li Fengyun, do you know? ”
"Li Fengyun and his people, a certain person knows something. As for the secret between Zhai Rang and him......" Han Xiangguo hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, their relationship has always been tense. ”
Li Mi made a gesture and motioned for Han Xiangguo to elaborate. Han Xiangguo's understanding of Li Fengyun was purely hearsay, and some of these gossip came from Zhai Rang's subordinates, some from the thieves of Mangdang Mountain, and some from Han Yao.
Han Xiangguo has always been paying attention to this rebel army from Mangdang Mountain. This army was originally a "chess piece" in his plan to plunder and plunder, but unexpectedly, this "chess piece" suddenly broke away from his control and quickly grew into a powerful force, which not only destroyed his strategy and Yang Xuangan's plan, but also affected the situation in the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou. The greater the impact of this army, the greater the threat to Han Xiangguo, because the core strength of this army is either his original subordinates or his allies in the underworld, so once this army is defeated by the official army, once these people are caught by the government and confess him, he will be finished.
The matter is concerned about personal interests, and of course Han Xiangguo is concerned. After hearing that the rebels had occupied Mengshan, he immediately sent people to contact Chen Rui, Lu Xingxing, Han Yao and others to inquire about the situation of the rebels. However, the shape is different, everyone's environment is different, and the ideas have naturally changed, although they are connected, but the secrets of the rebel army, it is impossible to disclose, and this basic common sense is still there, so Han Xiangguo's understanding of the rebel army is only limited to showing that he knows very little about the secret between Zhai Rang and Li Fengyun. But even this hearsay is very important to Li Mi.
Li Mi listened carefully to Han Xiangguo's statement, and said with a slight smile, "Li Fengyun and Zhai Rang are two completely different people, although Zhai Rang's current situation is very bad, but he still has a trace of illusion more or less, and Li Fengyun is a thief, a heinous traitor, of course it is impossible for two people to come together." ”
Han Xiangguo nodded again and again, his expression was heavy, "Li Fengyun has already entered Liang County, and the Tongji Canal is in an emergency, and the current situation is actually more difficult than Zhai Rang." Zhai Rang can retreat to the front line of the big river, he still has a place to hide, but he doesn't even have a place to hide. ”
Although Han Xiangguo's power is huge, this network is based on the underworld self-interest of Tongji Canal, if Tongji Canal is interrupted, the Tongji Canal line is in flames, and the underworld self-interest collapses, this network will naturally collapse, so that Han Xiangguo's power will inevitably collapse, allies will be scattered, brothers will flee, and strength will plummet. The reason why Zhai Rang consulted Han Xiangguo is because their interests are closely linked. Now Han Xiangguo actually has only two ways, either raise the flag and rebel and follow Li Fengyun together, or form an alliance with the government and fight the rebels with the government, if he escapes from Liang County, it is equivalent to giving up his own territory, and the consequences can be imagined.
As far as Han Xiangguo is concerned, he wants to rebel, of course, the premise is that he must win the support of Yang Xuangan.
Now the emperor, the center and the expeditionary force are all on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the key to determining the victory or defeat of the Eastern Expedition is not the emperor's personal expedition, nor the number of expeditionary forces, but the continuous supply of grain and grass. If the grain and grass are interrupted, the Eastern Crusade will inevitably give up halfway, and return in vain, at this time, the Liaodong battlefield must be panicked, and the army will be disheartened, at this critical moment, if the eastern capital falls and the imperial system is replaced, then Middle-earth will inevitably fall into a civil war. Who can win the Civil War? Whoever has enough money and food will win the final victory. From this, when the emperor and the expeditionary force were trapped in Hebei, when winter came and the snow fell, the emperor who lacked food and clothing would inevitably fall into a desperate situation.
Han Sang-kook had already spied on the ambitions of Yang Xuangan and his political group, and he thought that the current situation was an excellent opportunity for Yang Xuangan to realize his political ambitions, so he wanted to rebel.
Li Mi had already guessed Han Xiangguo's thoughts, he just said that Li Fengyun was a heinous traitor, and in fact he had already given a subtle warning, but Han Xiangguo did not give up, and continued to test his situation because his situation was too difficult.
"The time has not yet come." Li Mi was also brittle, and said bluntly, "The shape is not as bad as you think, you can take advantage of the current opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, spread quickly, and stand by." ”
Han Xiangguo's nervous mood was suddenly relieved, he made the right bet, Yang Xuangan really didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him, but when will the "opportunity" mentioned by Li Mi come?
"The shape is already very bad, and Li Fengyun is about to cut off the Tongji Canal." Han Sang-kook had to be reminded.
"What if the canal continues?" Li Mi asked.
Han Sang-kook is confused? Tongji Canal constantly? How is this possible? Could it be that Li Fengyun will listen to your arrangement?
