Under the watchful eye of the Yang family's spies, several carrier pigeons flying from the southwest were found in the evening, and soon after, a note with few words but full of information appeared in Yang Xiaotian's hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, it was a flying pigeon handbook, even if he didn't read the content of the note, Yang Xiaotian could already confirm that what Jiang Yun said must be true. There are pros and cons to using pigeons to pass on messages from people to others. For the good, the news can reach the front line as quickly as possible, and for the disadvantage, the risk is too great. Pigeons have natural predators, and it is very likely that they will be killed by predators in the middle of the road, but whenever important information is transmitted, several pigeons carrying letters are often released at the same time to prevent the message from failing.

But in this way, it also buried the hidden danger of news leakage, and shooting one of them was harmless at all, and it would never arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the Li family. Li Shan will not understand this truth, but he still chose this way, which shows that the situation in Shuixi is already very serious.

Mo Yan looked at Yang Xiaotian, who was silent, knowing that he was thinking, and he didn't say anything. He is very smart and knows what role Yang Xiaotian wants him to play, and being too eager is not beautiful. Although his heart was fiery to make a contribution, he still forced himself to calm down, pretended to be careless, closed his eyes and sat up in meditation.

After a long time, Yang Xiaotian finally broke the silence and said, "It can already be confirmed that the news that the Li family and the East Army are against each other is true. ”

"This is a good thing, why is the king of heaven so worried?"

Yang Xiaotian sighed and said, "They did turn against each other, and they did fight." However, after the initial impulse, both sides have gradually calmed down and officially entered the negotiation period. Dong Guoguo made a request to Li Shan for twenty cities in Yibei to offset their crime of assassinating Prince Xiuren. ”

Mo Yan said with a funny face: "How is this possible? The ambition of the wolf son of the East is well known to passers-by. Not to mention the twenty cities, even if they are given a city to gain a foothold, it will be a big trouble, otherwise the Li family will not throw the 30,000 troops to the uninhabited land of Biqiuling. Twenty cities? A whole half of the land west of the water, Li Shan will not agree. ”

"No, he agreed." Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "Yang didn't expect that this old ghost would be so courageous. However, he didn't plan to cut the meat himself, but wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and completely mess up the muddy waters of Yibei. ”

Mo Yanyan's eyes froze when he heard this, and his heart suddenly became clear. "Li Shan wants to hand over the land seized by Shuibei to Dongkou?"

"He's trying to do it again!" Mo Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "That day was this move, on the surface, I wanted to attack the Yang family to seize the mine, but secretly I contacted the Heavenly King to plan the Lu family." Now again, on the surface, the land is cut to make amends, but in fact, the north of the water is used as bait, dragging the east out of the water. At that time, the Lu family has been destroyed, and the Heavenly King is lonely, and it will naturally evolve into the Yang family facing the combined army. ”

"What a vicious old thief! If it weren't for Mr. to mention it, Yang wouldn't have looked down on the old thief's sinister intentions. In this way, not only can the Lu family not be destroyed, but Yang must also save its vitality. I didn't expect that the form of Yibei was so complicated, and I was not afraid of Mr. jokes, Yang was a little frightened now. ”

Mo Yan smiled confidently. "The balance of Yibei has been broken for hundreds of years, and if it is broken rashly, it is natural to face the risks. The king doesn't have to worry too much, high risk means high reward, just be careful. Now the top priority is to agree to the Lu family to negotiate peace as soon as possible, and then unite with the Lu family to quickly send troops to take the thirteen cities in Shuibei controlled by the Li family. At that time, the Li family will have no city to offer, how will Dongtou give up? The initiative is already in the hands of the king. ”

"Let's do it."

The momentum of the peak is the most stable, but at the same time it is also the most dangerous and fickle, Jiang Yun dug a pit, and the Li family came up with a way to deal with the predicament, but Yang Xiaotian strengthened his heart to unite the Lu family, which can only be said to be providence.

Yang Xiaotian would definitely agree to negotiate peace, which Jiang Yun was not surprised by, because it was part of his plan. It's just such a big event, from thinking, discussing to confirming, all aspects take time, I thought it would take three or five days to get things done, but I didn't want to be called to the Chinese army's big tent by the herald early the next morning, Yang Xiaotian hurriedly signed a peace document with him, Jiang Yun took out the Lu family print he carried with him from his arms and covered it on his head, Yang Lu dismissed the army, and the alliance was initially reached.

When Jiang Yun rushed back to Lu's house, she found that Lu Xun was already ready to go, and after she took the peace papers, she asked Jiang Yun to take Wang Jie, order 5,000 people, and immediately rush to Moxian City to act at the opportunity. At the same time, with Ma Rulong as the vanguard general, he raised 20,000 water troops, bypassed the main force of the coalition army, and drove south. This operation was mainly to regain the lost territory, and she may have made contact with the two families, so she did not bring the Shanyue army, and left Hanshuang behind, asking her to assist You Yong in defending Yuecheng, and by the way, to watch those arrogant temple guards, so as to save her some trouble.

This is the first time that the Lu family has raised troops to counterattack after the change in Yibei, and the navy army that has been nesting for a long time can't wait to show its sharp fangs.

--------------------------

The big tent of the Li family's army.

A dull coughing sound came out faintly, and Li Shanlao's face turned red, holding a cloth and covering his mouth tightly, and his thin shoulders continued to twitch and rise. After a long time, he gradually calmed down, panted slightly, and took the handkerchief off his mouth to take a look, and his heart was full of red.

The second son, Li Mu, stood behind Li Shan, helping him keep patting and stroking his back. Seeing the blood stains on the handkerchief, Li Mu showed distress on his face, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Dad, you're like this, let's stop fighting, let's go back to Shuixi, you need to recuperate." ”

Li Shan raised his hand and waved, folded the cloth and put it in his arms, and then said: "Dad, this is a terminal illness, and he can't take care of it, and he will die sooner or later when he returns to Shuixi." Rather than that, it is better to pave the way for you as much as possible while there is still a breath of air. Although children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, but your eldest brother... In the end, he was a little tenderer, so he handed over the Li family to him, and his father was really not at ease. ”

"Sit down, don't stand, Dad is fine, he can't die for the time being." Li Shan took a sip of water from the cup, looked at his little son, and said lovingly: "Mu'er, you tell the truth to your father, in your heart... Have you ever complained about your father? ”

"Dad, why did you say that?"

"In terms of character, means, and prestige in the army, you are better than your eldest brother, but your father finally gave your eldest brother the position of the son, you must be unwilling in your heart, right?" Li Mucai shook his head, and Li Shan interrupted him with his mouth and continued: "Don't deny it, it's normal to be unwilling, even if your father is unwilling for you." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. "But Dad also has his own helplessness, although Dad and that Yang Xiaotian are the same generation, they are ten years older than him, and they have already passed the golden age of his life, Dad is old, and his body is not good. In recent years, everything has to rely on your aunt's mother's family, and because of this, some things have long been left to the father's will, and this is the case with the position of the son. ”

"Dad, the child has no delusions, he will do his best to assist the eldest brother, you can rest assured."

"I'm afraid that you have this mind, but your eldest brother may not be able to tolerate you interfering in clan affairs. Before my father went to the Lu family to ask for relatives, everyone in the world thought that my father was the same as Yang Xiaotian, and he had the intention of annexing the Lu family. Li Shan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "But the conscience of heaven and earth, my father really didn't think about it like that, in my father's opinion, the entire land of Shuibei is not as good as a Lu Boyan, what the Li family needs is a virtuous helper who can assist your eldest brother, only in this way, after my father's death, can my Li family continue to compete with the Yang family." Who knows, something happened to this field in a hurry. ”

"Dad, with all due respect. My Li family has a strong foundation, even if you... He, Yang Xiaotian, don't think about overpowering us easily. You really don't have this need to go abroad to Yizhou, how can you feed them with just a few cities. ”

"How can the ambitious father of the wolf son of the East go abroad not know? But after all, Yizhou has not experienced a war for hundreds of years, and its financial resources and population are not much better than going east, how can he bite it down? If you want to occupy Yizhou, you need an agent, and that's what Dad wants! With the help of the Dongchu army, after defeating the Yang family, with the background of my Li family, it is enough to command the Yizhou clans to easily drive the Dongchu people out, but I never thought that your sister would cause such a catastrophe. But it can be regarded as a crooked fight, atoning for sins with the city, but it can push the east out to the front line, we and the Yang family's city in Shuibei is staggered, it can't be sorted out at all, the east will make trouble with the Yang family sooner or later, and then it will be the opportunity for my Li family. ”

He called Li Mu, took out a ticket from his arms, handed it over and said, "There is nothing wrong with the plan, but my father has always been upset recently." Mu'er, you have this bill, my father saved one million taels of silver for you in the Dafeng Money Village of the Zhou Dynasty, and no one knows about this money. You remember, no matter whether this battle goes well or not, once your father has an accident and leaves, you will immediately take your mother and leave Yizhou, and never come back! Your eldest brother is good, if things don't work out, you can leave a bloodline for my Li family. ”

After Li Shan finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the tent door, raising his hand to lift the tent curtain. He looked at Moxian City not far away, and said lightly to himself: "It's been three days, it should be about the same." (To be continued.) )
