After thinking about it, Liu Fan felt that the only person who could provide him with effective help in the current situation was Lu Xiangsheng. First of all www.biquge.info Lu Xiangsheng is a person who truly loves the country and the people, and will not accept bribes from rogues, let alone go along with them. Secondly, after getting along for the past few days, because of their common aspirations and interests, the relationship between Liu Fan and Lu Xiangsheng is not bad. Liu Fan believes that as long as he states his interests, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not sit back and watch the rogue turn around!

One day, Liu Fan invited Lu Xiangsheng to a banquet under the pretext of inviting Lu Xiangsheng to his big tent. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Fan said to Lu Xiangsheng with his mouth, "Lu Gong, although you and I have been friends for a few days, Liu Fan has great respect for Lu Gong's character and talent, and now Liu Fan has something to ask for, and I hope that Lu Gong will help one or two!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng picked up the wine glass, took a sip, shook his head and said, "Jimin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't do anything!" You and I are very clear about Chen Du's intentions, he is using a conspiracy to suppress people with power, even if I come forward to help you lobby, I am afraid it will not achieve any effect! ”

Liu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I know these things very well, but let me just watch the good situation corrupt in the hands of villains, Liu Fan is really unwilling!" Lu Gong may not know that I recently received news that some people in the official army are secretly colluding with the rogue. Not only did he secretly deliver food to the rogues behind our backs, but he also took bribes from the rogues on a large scale. even helped Gao Yingxiang and others get rid of their crimes. If this continues, I'm afraid that Governor Chen will be deceived by the rogue! ”

With a "snap", the wine glass slipped from Lu Xiangsheng's hand, and Lu Xiangsheng asked in surprise regardless of the remaining water stains on his hands: "Is what Jimin said true?" It's a big matter, and there's no room for nonsense! ”

Liu Fan said helplessly: "It's all this time, how could I lie to you, Lu Gong." This is absolutely true, and not only that, but I also got the conditions that Liukou gave to Governor Chen. Using the deception as a bait, the Liukou told Governor Chen that as long as he agreed to the surrender of the Liukou, he would pay 50 taels of silver for each soldier he raised. At least there are 40,000 or 50,000 people in the valley, and if it is calculated in this way, it will be 2.5 million taels at least. Moreover, the rogues also presented various treasures they had plundered to Governor Chen. My subordinates saw with their own eyes that someone entered Governor Chen's mansion last night with three large boxes of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, but when they came out, they were empty-handed! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's face changed, and he couldn't help but be a little moved by the exchange of two or three million white flowers of silver for himself, with Lu Xiangsheng's understanding of Chen Qiyu, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Chen Qiyu to refuse such a big temptation. If what Liu Fan said is true, then the matter will be in trouble. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng said uglyly, "There is no evidence, can Jimin have evidence?" ”

Liu Fan nodded and replied firmly, "That messenger has been secretly captured by me, and now he is imprisoned in the barracks of the Broken Army, if Lu Gong doesn't believe it, Liu Fan can accompany you to meet him!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "No need, I believe what Jimin said is true, in fact, I have heard about these news recently, I thought that there were rumors, but I didn't expect it to be true." Alas, Governor Chen is confused, I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined here! ”

Liu Fan sneered, "Li Lingzhi is dizzy, Chen Qiyu is not a strong-willed person, and he is too proud and conceited. I'm not surprised at all. Lu Gong, you are also clear about the current situation, if we don't make a move, I'm afraid we will really be succeeded by those thieves! ”

To be honest, Lu Xiangsheng was also shocked when he heard the news, but he was not too surprised. Because this thing is so common, so common that Lu Xiangsheng is a little numb. With a sigh, Lu Xiangsheng said dejectedly, "What does Jimin want me to do, just say it, as long as Lu can do it, he will definitely not refuse!" ”

Hearing that Lu Xiangsheng was willing to help, Liu Fan was slightly happy in his heart, and hurriedly analyzed, "Now that the initiative is controlled by Chen Qiyu, it is difficult for you and me to make a difference." It's hard enough to stop this from happening. We can only break the situation with the help of external forces, so I would like to ask Lu Gong and I to jointly write a letter and submit it to His Majesty, stating the reason, and asking him not to listen to Chen Qiyu's words. As long as His Majesty doesn't let go, even if Chen Qiyu has great ability, there is nothing he can do! In addition, it is necessary to trouble Lu Gong to contact some loyal and reliable generals, and we will unite to resist Chen Qiyu's decision. Finally, in order to prevent the rogue dog from jumping off the wall, we have to leave some hands behind in case of accidents! ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and again, "What Jimin said is very true, Lu generally agrees with Jimin's strategy. But what should this afterhand say? You and I add up to only more than 10,000 people, even if there are a few loyal people to help, it will not exceed 20,000 people, and it is very difficult to guard against the rogues, how can there be troops to make other arrangements? And doesn't that startle the snake? ”

Liu Fan smiled bitterly: "I can't take care of it anymore." What I'm talking about is just a matter of having people guard some of the main traffic routes in advance, just in case. Can you really think of anything earth-shattering? You're looking too highly of me, too! ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "It turns out that there are things that can't be done by the people, I thought that the people could do anything!" Haha..."

Liu Fan's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Lu Xiangsheng helplessly, "Lu Gong, I'm just a little clever ordinary man, and I'm not Zhuge Liang, it's normal to not know!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and comforted, "Don't blame the people, Lu is just happy in suffering." Lu admires the talent of Jimin very much, whether it is military training, peace of mind, or the way to make money, Lu is absolutely impossible. Jimin is dedicated to the country and the people, and I believe that Your Majesty will be able to understand your painstaking efforts. Since we don't have a better way now, let's do what Jimin says, that's all we can do, whether we can succeed is not up to you and me, but in Your Majesty's decision! ”

Liu Fan sighed, "I hope Your Majesty can see things clearly, and help us!" Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know how much you will pay for it in the future! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's heart sank, and he agreed with a heavy face, "Yes, it's a pity that you and I can't control the overall situation with limited ability!" Now I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven! ”

The two were speechless for a while, and they both lost interest in talking. The dull atmosphere made Lu Xiangsheng feel quite uncomfortable, and he just stayed for a while and left. Before leaving, Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly assured Liu Fan that he would do his best to help Liu Fan.

With Lu Xiangsheng's great help, Liu Fan finally had a little strength to resist Chen Qiyu. Next, Liu Fan ordered someone to collect evidence of Chen Qiyu's gangsters, and on the other hand, he sent people to pay close attention to the movements of the rogue. At the same time, he sent someone to send a letter to Chongzhen again to explain the seriousness of the matter, hoping that Chongzhen could stand firmly on his side and not believe Chen Qiyu's rhetoric.
