The 782nd Imperial Gold Medal
Lu Bing touched his long hair: "Yes, it is indeed as you said, from the perspective of motives, it will indeed be cheaper for Wokou and Wu Ping to give up the opportunity to escape and attack Southern Shaolin, but Tianluo, why don't you want to think about it, will it also be cheaper for Yan Shifan?" Catching you all is also what Yan Shifan wants to see. ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "I don't see it that way, Yan Shifan's killing is to use Lu Fei's army to encircle and suppress, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, the Demon Slayer Alliance will be hit by the destruction of the country, either he will be captured, or he will be charged with rebellion, it makes no difference, and in the southeast, Yan Shifan will also be lost and regained." I understand Mao Haifeng, he has always disliked the government, especially for people like Yan Shifan, he will not have a good impression of Yan Shifan, such a plan, he will not cooperate with Yan Shifan to implement, so there is no possibility that Yan Shifan can use Mao Haifeng and Lu Fei at the same time. It will only be Leng Tianxiong and Yan Shifan's separate actions. ”
Lu Bing followed up and asked, "Then it can't be that Yan Shifan bought Wu Ping and then used Wu Ping to advance this action?" Mao Haifeng is a rough person, and it is normal to be at the mercy of Wu Ping. After all, he himself has no hatred for Southern Shaolin. ”
Li Cangxing smiled: "No, I interrogated the captives, Mao Haifeng had no intention of attacking Southern Shaolin at the beginning, he just wanted to set up an ambush in the first-line valley, and later Chu Tianshu told them, I suddenly appeared in Southern Shaolin, and I will also act towards the area of Xinghua Mansion, and they strengthened their determination to ambush ~ attack me, because Mao Haifeng hated me to the bone, and he would kill him quickly, and later saw me enter Southern Shaolin." Only then did he temporarily transfer troops from Xinghua to attack, so besieging Southern Shaolin was Mao Haifeng's own decision. Wu Ping couldn't control his thoughts, after all, Wu Ping brought too few people. The amount of speech is limited, leading the way, it's okay to be a pick-up, but you can't be the master! ”
Lu Bing let out a sigh: "Your analysis is very reasonable, so Leng Tianxiong didn't want to eliminate the people of the Southern Shaolin Demon League in the first place?" ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "Although Leng Tianxiong is not at odds with the good and evil factions of the Demon Alliance, he has been fighting with Shaolin Wudang for decades, and no matter how early the Demon Sect has been fighting with the Central Plains Righteous Sect for thousands of years, everyone knows that it is impossible to eat each other at once." So you can think about it slowly and in the long run, but Yan Shifan doesn't think so, in one fell swoop, defeat the four factions of the Demon Alliance, defeat Chu Tianshu who is against him, especially defeat me, the heavenly wolf who has a deep blood feud with him, and will definitely put him to death, he is willing to pay any price. ”
Therefore, Leng Tianxiong teamed up with Mao Haifeng, just to seek money, and Wu Ping cooperated with Mao Haifeng's action in the mainland this time. In the future, Wu Ping will come to stabilize the Japanese in the southeast, so that most of the sea income in the southeast will be obtained by his demon sect. Instead of going into Yan Shifan's pocket like before. ”
"But Yan Shifan didn't know how to get through guò and grasped the movements of both us and the Demon Sect, so he kept quiet. Coldly watched as the elite masters of our various factions concentrated on Southern Shaolin, and then eliminated the Wakou and Wu Ping. These two forces have betrayed him, and he wishes he could be destroyed by our hands. It's better to beat Leng Tianxiong, who is disobedient and secretly makes small moves, and then send Lu Bo to besiege Southern Shaolin in the name of catching the thief, hoping to take advantage of our unguarded psychology after the big victory, and make a surprise attack, if I hadn't been warned, I would have really fallen for him. ”
Lu Bing smiled slightly: "Heavenly wolf, you are really very advanced, these things are clearly analyzed for you, yes, what Yan Shifan did this time is as you said, when you went south from Taizhou, he had already secretly gathered troops and horses in Nanzhili, and Lu Bo also got his secret order at that time, and waved his army to the south secretly." ”
Li Cangxing's face changed: "So, you already know about this?" Are you colluding with Yan Shifan again? ”
Lu Bing shook his head: "This time you misunderstood me again, since I have already turned my face with Yan Shifan, it is impossible to continue to cooperate, but after all, I am the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, and Lu Boring's army is 30,000 this time, such a large-scale transfer, if I, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, don't know it, it would be too dereliction of duty." ”
Li Cangxing's heart was a little wider, now he was really worried that Lu Bing would cooperate with Yan Shifan again, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to really become a mortal enemy with Feng Wu's father, he nodded, and said secretly: "So, you already knew that Yan Shifan sent Lu Bo to send troops, so why didn't you warn me in advance?" ”
Lu Bing sighed: "Before going to Southern Shaolin, I also went to Lu Boring's army to ask him what he wanted to do, but Lu Boring's answer was not leaky, only said that he received the order of the Ministry of War, to patrol the southeast of Fujian, and also said that because Qi Jiguang's department was at odds with you, he had returned to Zhejiang, and Fujian's troops were insufficient, so the Ministry of War specially sent them into Fujian to strengthen the defense. But at that time, you had already made a plan to let the Qi family army block them, and I saw that the shape had already been controlled, so I went to Southern Shaolin. ”
The corners of Li Cangxing's mouth hooked: "I see, then how did you know afterwards that this matter was Yan Shifan's conspiracy?" ”
Lu Bing gritted his teeth and said: "My daughter was killed on the spot by the surnamed Su, I naturally can't swallow this breath, and when Lu Boring returns to the army, I will hold him accountable and ask him to make it clear what is going on, Lu Boring failed to do what Yan Shifan wanted him to do this time, and in this case, he didn't dare to offend our Jinyiwei, so he was heartbroken, and he told the inside story and the discernment, that Su Laifu was the deputy general sent by Yan Shifan to monitor him, and his name as the commander was actually just a cover for Su Laifu. ”
Li Cangxing's heart moved: "This Su Laifu was sent by Yan Shifan, but he is also the subordinate of the inner ghost, otherwise he would not have killed someone when Feng Wu was about to reveal the identity of the inner ghost, so does Yan Shifan have anything to do with the hidden inner ghost?" ”
Lu Bing sneered: "Yes, Sky Wolf, you have asked the point today, I am investigating this matter, the reason why I can't go to Yunnan to help you in person this time." It's also because I want to check two major things at the same time, one is when Feng Wu was involved with that inner ghost. The second is the relationship between Yan Shifan and this inner ghost. Now that I have started with Su Laifu, it is conceivable that Yan Shifan will also try his best to cover up this relationship, but no one can hide what I Lu Bing wants to investigate. ”
Li Cangxing suddenly had a strange feeling for Lu Bing in his heart, it was a long-lost trust, this feeling had not been felt since he learned that Lu Bing and Yan Shifan had joined forces again. Li Cangxing sighed: "Lord Lu, if you insist on investigating, you may be the enemy of Yan Shifan and that terrible inner ghost at the same time. ”
Lu Bing smiled miserably: "Heavenly wolf, what's the matter, why are you worried about my safety all of a sudden?" It's not like you at all. ”
Li Cangxing's nose is sour, how can people be ruthless if they are not grass and trees? has been with Lu Bing for so many years. In my heart, I have unconsciously regarded him as another elder in my life after my master, and I can even say that I am like my own half father, and it is precisely because of such deep feelings for him that I deceive him in the future. The act of using himself to re-collude with Yan Shifan is so unforgivable, this may be the depth of love in the legend. Take it seriously. By now, both of them had completely put down their masks. can really be calm, and he suddenly finds that it is like a phoenix dance. Although he has always been sneering at him, if he really could lose the other party, even he can't imagine what a huge blow it is.
Thinking of this, Li Cangxing couldn't help but be moved, and said secretly: "Lu, Commander-in-Chief Lu, you just said that you want to protect your family, and you can't put your Lu family in danger, this time the opponent is not the same as before, in addition to the high-ranking and powerful Yan Shifan, there is likely to be a terrible inner ghost who has been hiding in the shadows, although you have the huge organization of Jinyiwei, but you may not be their opponent, you may have to lose your entire family, I watched Feng Wu die in my arms, so, so I don't want you, And what's going on with your family, understand? ”
Lu Bing's eyes flashed, and he said sharply: "Sky Wolf, there is no need to say it anymore, Feng Wu is my most beloved daughter, I am sorry for her mother, and I am even more sorry for her, so I must avenge her revenge, even if I pay a big price, I will not hesitate to do it, a father who can't get justice for his daughter is not worthy of being a man, understand?" ”
Li Cangxing heard the blood boiling in his heart, and said excitedly: "Okay, Lu Bing, just say this to you, our previous unhappiness will be written off, in this matter, you and I will be like when I joined Jinyiwei, sincere cooperation, life and death together!" ”
A smile appeared on Lu Bing's face: "Very good, Heavenly Wolf, to be honest, you are willing to be born and die, and go deep into the tiger's den in Longtan for the matter of Feng Wu, I am also very moved, in the future, as soon as you and I have important information, we will ventilate in time, my subordinates there in Yunnan, you can also be completely driven, if necessary, you can even take down the current head of the Mu family, Mu Chaobi, the Duke of Qianguo." ”
Li Cangxing's face changed: "This is okay?" ”
Lu Bing nodded seriously, he hesitated, but gritted his teeth, took out a gold medal from his arms, and handed it to Li Cangxing, Li Cangxing took it and looked at it, his face changed: "What, this is the token of the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei?" Lu Bing, you are giving me your authority, so what should you do yourself? ”
Lu Bing said coldly: "I am Lu Bing, my face is the best token, Yan Shifan doesn't dare not give me face, so I want to check something, I don't need this token, but you are different, you are not me, even if you change your disguise, it is just a Xibei goods, Yunnan is the place where the Mu family has been operating for generations, and the tens of thousands of troops there are also under the command of Mu Wangfu and not subject to the control of the governor of Yunnan, if it comes to an emergency, you need to take down Mu Chaobi, this token is indispensable, with this order, It means that the emperor personally granted the power of the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei to take people, you can cut it first and then play, even if you kill Mu Chaobi on the spot, it is also within the authority. ”
Li Cangxing gritted his teeth: "But even if the evidence is ironclad, after all, the Mu family has been based in Yunnan for two hundred years, if Yan Shifan retaliates on this basis and makes a big fuss, saying that you, Commander-in-Chief Lu, gave the power of the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei to a court officer who once betrayed Jinyiwei, then you are not very dangerous?" ”
Lu Bing's expression suddenly became extremely resolute: "Heavenly Wolf, needless to say, my determination has been made, if you really make a breakthrough in Yunnan, then the time must be almost to liquidate Yan Shifan, do you remember how Xia Yan died?" It is a cabinet chief and assistant colluding with the border generals. The charge of conspiracy was something that the Emperor could not tolerate. So you must follow the vine and find evidence of the clear collusion between Mu Chaobi and Yan Shifan. ”
"Of course. This evidence must be realistic, I believe that your wolf will not fabricate evidence and frame others, the Mu family is also a hero from the founding of the country to the present anyway, and he has a heavy army, there is no real evidence, forcing them to rebel, and the entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty is no longer peaceful. ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Don't worry." I also have double preparations here, Nobuyuki Kamiizumi is still in our hands, and when necessary, we will release him and deal a final fatal blow to Yan Dang. ”
Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, then turned to a face full of joy, and grabbed Li Cangxing's shoulder: "What? Nobuyuki Kamizumi is not dead? Still in your hands? This, what's going on? ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "After the Taizhou War that day, Liu Sheng and I dominated. and Qi Jiguang designed to take down Shangquan Xinzhi, this person is the leader of the Zhejiang Wokou, and participated in a series of conspiracies of Yan Shifan, of course, he can't let him die like this lightly. Moreover, the wealth obtained by the Japanese robbers at sea for many years has been secretly collected by this person, and our Black Dragon Society has started with makeup. This money is also needed, this time at the Southern Shaolin Conference. The money we distributed to the factions did not come from Hengyu. Rather, it was dug up from the place where Shinyuki Kamiizumi hid his treasure. ”
Lu Bing smiled and said: "Good boy, there is still this hand, I know that Yan Shifan is also investigating the whereabouts of Shangquan Xinzhi's treasure in many ways, but he found nothing, but he didn't expect it to give you a head start, but ......" When he said this, Lu Bing's brows furrowed slightly, "Since you already have Shangquan Xinzhi, and you have also forced him to ask about the relationship between him and Yan Shifan, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue, dedicate this person to the emperor, and expose the crime of Yan's father and son colluding with the Japanese and the southeast in public?" ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, you should know how treacherous the Yan thief is, the emperor doesn't know these things about him, but because the Yan Party can bring him taxes, now that the southeast has just been pacified, the southeast land, which accounts for more than half of the world's taxes, is still controlled by Yan Party officials, so the emperor will not make up his mind to have a showdown with the Yan Party at this time." ”
"Even if the evidence is ironclad, Yan Shifan will at most push the responsibility on a few of his comrades in Zhejiang, such as Zheng Michang, He Maocai and others, because he did not directly catch Yan Shifan and Wang Zhi's gang when they were trading, so he can rely on it, we spent a lot of effort to capture the Japanese leader, but it can't have a fatal effect on Yan Shifan, then it will not be able to fight the snake, but will be bitten by the snake."
Lu Bing nodded with satisfaction: "So you have to wait until the emperor really has the intention of liquidating the Yan Party, and then take the opportunity to play this big card of Tongwei in order to seal your throat with a sword, right?" ”
Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "Yes, that's what I think, the reason why the Yan Dang father and son have been able to control the court for a long time is nothing more than relying on their henchmen all over the world, accounting for important official positions such as taxation and transportation in various provinces, these official positions are to help the imperial court collect money, and although the officials of the Qing faction occupy key departments such as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, they are mostly places to spend money, and they can't make money for the emperor like Yan Party members." ”
"So after a long time, the emperor knew that he was treacherous and greedy, but he was like a person who had been controlled by the golden silkworm Gu, and he was completely unable to leave the Yan Party, and the reason why I wanted to seize the southeast this time was to take this opportunity to open up overseas trade, so that the emperor could get more income from the southeast than before, so that he could completely make up his mind to break with the Yan Party."
Lu Bingzheng said: "Then it's still according to your plan, Mu Wangfu, even if you can get evidence of the secret collusion between Yan Shifan and Mu Jiatong guò, I am afraid that it will not be stronger than the article of fornicating with the Japanese Kou, only when you can provide taxes for the emperor here in the southeast, the emperor will really attack the Yan Party, so it is still the first word." If the Yan Party falls, the inner ghost and the Mu family will naturally not be able to escape. ”
Li Cangxing smiled: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, now that the truth of Yiqiē has not been clarified, you will believe that the Mu family is colluding with the inner ghost and Yan Shifan, but I am afraid that this is not good." The specific things will not be known until I go to Yunnan to find out, I will not wronged innocent good people for revenge. ”
Lu Bing's eyes flashed coldly: "This is nature, Heavenly Wolf, I have given you all the permissions, how to operate it is up to you to decide, of course, arresting Mu Chaobi is the last resort, under normal circumstances, as long as you can get enough evidence." I promise you that you will personally avenge that inner ghost. ”
Li Cangxing clenched his fists: "Then thank you Commander Lu for your care, you also cherish it." ”
Lu Bing turned around in a dashing manner, bringing a gust of wind: "Sky Wolf, don't let me down this time!" ”
Lu Bing's figure disappeared far into the night, Li Cangxing sighed and said, "I've been watching it for a long time, come out." ”
Mu Lanxiang's tall and slender shadow and Qu Caifeng's red Luo shirt fluttered down from the two big trees, and the night breeze blew their Luo sleeve streamers, like fairies, bringing two bursts of fragrant wind.
As soon as he landed, Mu Lanxiang rushed to say, "Senior brother, why is Lu Bing here too?" Wasn't it just the black robe there when I left? (To be continued......) R1292
