This manor is called Wangshan Manor, in fact, there are endless plains in a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are no mountains in sight, but the meaning of "mountain" here refers to the rivers and mountains.

Needless to say, this manor is the secret stronghold of the Bohai Society, it was originally the manor of Duan Xiaoyan, the secretary of the Northern Qi Dynasty, since the assassination of Yang Guang failed last year, Pei Yunfeng aimed at the Bohai Society's old nest Anyang County to search for the members of the Bohai Society, the Bohai Society temporarily moved its headquarters to this Wangshan Manor.

At this time, in the study on the second floor of Wangshan Pavilion, Gao Lie, the master of the Bohai Society, was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, Gao Lie was the grandson of Gao Yanzong, the former king of Ande of Northern Qi, and a descendant of the Northern Qi royal family, about forty years old, medium in stature, with a thin and pale face, slender eyes, cold and a kind of magic that saw through people's hearts, giving people a shrewd but deep feeling of the city.

The former name of the Bohai Society is called the Great Qi Relic Clan Association, since the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was established, the Ande King Gao Yanzong was the first leader, Gao Yanzong even established himself as the emperor, and later Gao Yanzong was poisoned by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Great Qi Relic Clan Association went underground, and changed three leaders in a few decades, and Gao Lie became the fourth leader in the first year of the Great Cause, and he renamed the Daqi Relic Clan Association as the Bohai Society.

The Bohai Society is mainly distributed in the Hebei area, initiated by the seven nobles of the original Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao, Mu, Hu, Lou, Kudi, Han, and Zhao, with the purpose of recovering the Great Qi Sheji, although the Northern Qi regime collapsed, but the seven nobles still have the wealth of the rich country and hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and the strength is strong.

It is precisely because of their strong financial and material support that the Bohai Society has developed rapidly in Hebei, and almost half of the county and county officials in Hebei have joined the Bohai Society, even including Luo Yi, the deputy governor of Youzhou, Dou Jiande, the leader of the bandits, etc., and the army directly under them has 30,000 people. In the form of Zhuang Ding, it is secretly distributed in the major manors of Hebei.

However, in the past two years, the development of the Bohai Society has not been smooth, and it can be said that it has suffered repeated setbacks, mainly because the infiltration in Qingzhou, the Central Plains and the capital has suffered major setbacks.

Qingzhou is the key area of the Bohai Society, and in the seventh year of the Great Cause, the Great Sui was about to launch a war against Goguryeo, and Goguryeo urgently asked for help from the Bohai Society. At this time, the Sui Dynasty forcibly requisitioned the people and grain in the Northern Qi hometown in Qingzhou and Hebei, and the army was all transferred to Liaodong, the armament was empty, and the people's resentment was boiling.

It's a pity that Wang Bo was carried away by the victory and had the ambition to establish himself as emperor. No longer obeying the orders of the Bohai Society, breaking with the Bohai Society, coupled with the spread of the stall was too large, he was defeated by Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Qi County, and later Zhang Xuan appeared, completely extinguishing the rebellion of the counties in Qingzhou, and completely pulling out the forces of the Bohai Society from Qingzhou, which was the first major setback since the establishment of the Bohai Society.

The second is the setback of the capital. Yuan Min was killed, and the forces of the Bohai Society in the capital were betrayed and killed by Yuwenshu. The Bohai Society forces were expelled from the capital Luoyang.

The third time was the defeat of the Central Plains, which was triggered by the failure of the Wagang Army's Eastern Expedition, so that the Bohai Society assassinated Yang Guang, the son of heaven, in order to save the defeat, but it still did not succeed, but it attracted Yang Guang's fierce revenge and sent Pei Yun to Hebei to eradicate the Bohai Society. forced the headquarters of the Bohai Society to avoid the disaster and move to Hejian County.

These years of successive failures have brought Gao Lie to widespread suspicion within the Bohai Society, and Gao Lie is under great pressure, and he must find a way to reverse this unfavorable situation.

At this time, someone outside the door announced: "Madame is here!" ”

Gao Lie turned around suddenly, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly invite her in!" ”

Gao Lie has a total of four brothers and sisters. The second brother was killed by the enemy ten years ago, the third brother has been weak and sickly since childhood, and the youngest sister Gao Hui is shrewd and capable, very courageous, and has become Gao Lie's right-hand man, although many things have failed in the hands of Gao Hui in recent years, but Gao Lie does not blame her.

He always thought that this was not a problem of his sister's ability, but the will of heaven, such as Zhang Xuan, who was born out of nowhere, which caught them by surprise, as well as Yu Wenshu's betrayal and Zhai Rang's lack of command, which they couldn't control.

A burst of laughter like a silver bell came, Gao Hui walked into the room quickly, Gao Hui's optimism also infected Gao Lie, he smiled: "It seems that the little sister has brought me good news!" ”

Gao Hui smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I bring three good news, one is bigger than the other, which one does my brother want to hear?" ”

Gao Lie was not in a hurry, he sat down and said with a slight smile: "Then say one by one from childhood to adulthood, sit down and drink tea first!" ”

As soon as he waved his hand, a maid walked into the room with two cups of tea, offered them tea and slowly retreated, leaving only the two brothers and sisters in the room.

Gao Hui took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the smallest good news first!" The Wagang Army has been divided, Li Mi led the army north to Hanoi County, Zhai Rang reappointed Wang Ruxin as the military advisor, and appointed Zhai Hong as the general of the former army, Shan Xiongxin as the general of the Chinese army, Hao Xiaode as the general of the rear army, Hao Xiaode is Zhai Hong's person, the 50,000 troops of the Wagang army We have controlled 30,000, and Wang Ruxin has re-entered the five-person decision-making circle. ”

Although Gao Lie's face was expressionless, this news still made him frown and couldn't help but pick his eyebrows, not because they had regained control of the Wagang Army, but because such a big thing was actually the smallest piece of good news, so what would be the other two good news?

Gao Hui knows his eldest brother very well, he is very deep in the city, and he can't see his inner thoughts from the surface, so the eldest brother is expressionless, she doesn't care, and said with a smile: "And the eldest brother's suspicion is very likely to be true, that Li Mi is not the real Li Mi, someone recognized that the person next to him was Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao, so I doubt that this person could be Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng, who has been missing for a few years?" ”

"Is this the second piece of good news?"

"Nope! No! This is just an addition to the first message. ”

Gao Lie said lightly: "Then say the second good news, don't be distracted." ”

Gao Hui was helpless, the eldest brother didn't like to be controlled by others, anyone who talked to him must follow his train of thought, she had to smile and said: "The second good news, big brother, might as well guess, I think big brother can guess." ”

Gao Lie stood up and paced slowly in the room with his hands in his hands, but he only walked twice, and suddenly turned around and smiled: "Could it be that Guo Xuan has sent troops?" ”

Gao Hui stroked his palms and laughed, "It is worthy of my Gao Hui's brother, the priority is urgent, and the score is not bad, yes, it was the eldest brother's strategy that succeeded, and Guo Xuan sent troops south." ”

At this time, Gao Lie's face finally showed a hint of pride, showing the ecstasy in his heart, this matter was exactly the plan he had been planning for months, if it could succeed, it would greatly reduce the pressure of his questioning within the Bohai Society, and it would also be conducive to the Bohai Society's complete control of Hebei.

He spent a lot of money to buy Liu Zhihong, the imperial historian of Hebei, and asked Liu Zhihong to secretly write to the Son of Heaven, pointing out that Yang Yichen's military power was too great, and his generals generally supported Yang Yichen's intention of separating himself from the country.

Gao Lie then asked Dou Jiande to persuade Gao Shida, and the two of them jointly went south, stationed troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, and put on a posture of going all out to capture Qingzhou, revealing the weakness of the rear air defense, he hoped that Guo Xuan could be tempted by this weakness and lead the Youzhou army to the south, as long as Guo Xuan could be annihilated and Luo Yi ascended to the throne, the entire Hebei would be controlled by the Bohai Society.

"Is it a message from Luo Yi?"

Gao Hui hurriedly smiled: "I received his pigeon letter early this morning, but his son became Guo Xuan's pioneer, it is said that Guo Xuan has repeatedly requested, Luo Yi hopes that we can save his son's life." ”

Gao Lie nodded, he can understand this, without Luo Yi's son as a hostage, how can Guo Xuan rest assured that he can send troops, as for Luo Yi's son Luo Cheng, this person is excellent in martial arts, ranking seven of the top ten fierce generals in the world, if he can use it well, he hopes that Luo Cheng can become the pillar of the Bohai Society.

At this time, Gao Hui said again: "Luo Yi said in the letter that Guo Xuan went south at the request of Zhang Xuan. ”

Gao Lie was stunned, Zhang Xuan asked Guo Xuan to go south? made him a little unexpected, and he began to wonder a little in his heart, could it be that Zhang Xuan saw through his intentions?

Gao Hui said cautiously: "Could it be that Zhang Xuan feels too much pressure, so he asks Guo Xuan to send troops to relieve the pressure on Qingzhou?" ”

Gao Lie pondered for a moment and shook his head, "His water army is so powerful, what pressure will there be?" It's never that simple. ”

After a pause, Gao Lie said again: "Okay, let me think about this matter again, what is the third news first?" (To be continued.) )
