"Hmph, the Chao family always thinks that this Ju Yeze is their family's final say, whatever they say, people in other families have problems, and their own people are loyal, how can there be such a thing?" The black-fleshed strong man spat fiercely, "I'm scared, I'm worried that Wu Ningjun is coming over for a while, and I'm worried that someone inside is colluding with Wu Ningjun, or I suspect that we are not good for them, and I am suspicious and suspicious, which makes everyone restless." ”

"Even if that's the case, the Chao family won't turn their faces, right?" asked another strong man, puzzled.

"It's not a question of whether to turn the other cheek or not, the Chao family now nominally suspects that someone inside us has colluded with the Wu Ning Army, and wants to strike first and do it to us, but in fact, I suspect that they want to swallow our men and horses at once, so that the family is dominant, so that they can bargain with the Wu Ning Army. ”

The black-fleshed strong man snorted disdainfully, but his gaze became colder and colder.

"His Chao family thinks that everyone else is a fool, and they all have to be coaxed by him, if they really want to fight against Wu Ningjun to the end, they won't retreat step by step like this, you can fight yours, I will fight mine, fight out from Pinglu, and take Wu Ningjun by surprise!"

On the east side of Pinglu, it will be pierced as soon as it is beaten, even if the Wuning army that avoids Pinglu, between Pinglu and Rencheng, there is a lot of room for improvement, but the Chao family is stunned and refuses to move, and pretends to say that the Wuning army is powerful, and now they must do their best to protect Xuchang and Shouzhang.

Hmph, I don't want to think about it, with this little strength, if you don't play the trick of attacking Wei in the east and encircling Wei in the west to save Zhao, how can you resist the Wuning army entering Xuchang Shouzhang?

If it really doesn't work when it comes to encircling Wei and saving Zhao, it means that Xu Chang and Shouzhang are really lost, and they can either surrender to the Wuning army, or they can only retreat back into the lake and wait for death.

He Ruan Zhongyu saw this problem very clearly, the Chao family had a different heart, and he didn't plan to go dark on this road.

It's okay to have a different heart, and each goes his own way, but if you want to use the head of your own clan as a gift for the flag, and take advantage of the situation to add glory to their Chao family, then forgive the Ruan family for not accompanying them.

"Then Second Master, what should we do?" the man behind him couldn't help but ask.

With a long breath, Ruan Zhongyu was also a little hesitant in his heart.

The strength under the Ruan family's hands is far from that of the Chao family, even if it is comparable on this Liang Mountain, but in Shouzhang, Yuncheng, and Juye, it is far inferior to the Chao family.

"Contact my eldest brother right away, if it doesn't work, we'll have to find another way. Ruan Zhongyu finally made up his mind, "I have to let my eldest brother get ready." ”

The two henchmen both heard the hidden meaning of Ruan Zhongyu's words, and one of them said: "Then I'll inform the uncle, whether the second master is ...... tonight"

"Well, if you don't do it, it's tonight, otherwise if I don't go over tomorrow, the Chao family will be suspicious. Ruan Zhongyu gritted his teeth, "It seems that the days around are not long, let's see if there is a better chance to change the dock, maybe it is the creation of a group of brothers." ”

Chao Xiangfang didn't wait for Ruan Zhongyu, both a little disappointed and a little unwilling.

The Ruan family is the second only force in this giant field Ze after the Chao family, and the relationship between the two families was still good, at least in the Zhu Mao era, the two families had joined forces to defend against the enemy, and they had a lot of fun fighting with Zhu Mao.

During this period of time, many defeated soldiers fled back from Sucheng and Xuchang one after another, and Chao Xiangfang didn't care much about it before, the lake bandits were originally this style of rushing up and fleeing, except for the elite of their own family and the Ruan family, everything else was almost the same.

But as all kinds of gossip on the mountain exploded, he had to suspect that there was something strange here.

The people who escaped back were very mixed, including officers and leaders of considerable rank, small leaders and leaders who were originally very confident in the rebel army, and those fishermen who were themselves fishermen on the edge of this Liangshan Mountain, who also had a great relationship with the rebel army, and later simply joined the rebel army.

These people came back one or two hundred people one after another, and they originally had relatives and friends in the rebel army, so all kinds of news they brought back immediately began to circulate.

He has asked all families to isolate and review the officers and non-commissioned officers who have fled back several times, but this is obviously difficult to do, even within the Chao family, it is difficult to do, do not do to others what you don't want, and then ask for other families, it is undoubtedly unrealistic.

But the rapid outbreak of various rumors and rumors became the most unstable factor in the Liangshan rebel army.

You suspect that I have colluded with Wu Ningjun, I suspect that you want to take me as a vote, and some people suspect that this is a discordant scheme deliberately created by Wu Ningjun, but the key is, whose words are the most prestigious? Who will reconcile this contradiction?

"Second brother, what should I do? The Ruan family is obviously disagreeing, these guys can only share wealth and nobility, not weal and woe, the slightest disturbance outside, they are suspicious, and they are too protective of their shortcomings, they know that it is necessary to review the people who come back, but they just refuse to accept it, these guys!" the dark-skinned handsome young man snorted angrily, and couldn't help but stick the thorn in his hand on the table.

"You can't blame the Ruan family completely. Chao Xiangfang was very objective, smacked his lips and said: "The situation in this lake is complicated, there are so many families in fragments, and the mind is not unified, but I hate that so many people have been captured on the right side of Huai, and I actually let you back, and clearly tell us that there are their spies inside, and there are quite a few, but each family has its own people, in this case, you have to unify the review and screening, how can it be done? Daddy's prestige has not yet reached the point of dominating the entire Ju Yeze, this is our weakness!"

"Then what should we do?" the handsome young man said unwillingly: "Could it be that you just watched Huaiyou mess up our situation, and then swallowed us one bite at a time?"

Chao Xiangfang didn't want to say more, but he felt that his younger brother should also know something, so he paused for a moment before he said: "Wulang, Dad originally had some plans, once the skin of the lake bandit is stained, it will be difficult to take it off, Dad said that he will be a lake bandit for the rest of his life, but he doesn't want our generation to be a lake bandit for a lifetime, so after Zhu Mao gave up Yunzhou, Dad had contact with Daliang,......"

"Ah?!" The handsome young man was taken aback, a little incredulous, "Then why doesn't Daddy allow me to go to Bianliang to play tricks?"

"Hmph, isn't it wrong that you are not allowed to go to Bianliang to play tricks? If you are caught by Bianliang, won't Daddy negotiate with Bianliang and lose his confidence?" Chao Xiangfang said angrily: "Goro, you are not young, you are talented and intelligent, and martial arts enter the realm quickly, but this world cannot decide everything by force alone, many times you need to be more attentive, Dad has done enough for you, and you should grow up." ”

The handsome young man was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that the second brother's words were for his own good.

The five tigers of the Chao family, the eldest brother has already held up half of the sky, the second brother is mainly responsible for external outreach, the third brother is responsible for the interior, and the fourth brother has been wandering outside, but he vaguely knows that the fourth brother is actually also investigating everywhere, only he is carefree and free.

But the second brother said it well, now is not as good as in the past, the forces of the Juyeze family are facing huge pressure, and it may even be the death of the people, everyone is struggling for their own fate, as a member of the Chao family, they need to take their own responsibilities.

"Second brother, how is the conversation between Daddy and Da Liang?" The handsome young man's face gradually became serious.

"Not so well. Chao Xiangfang shook his head and sighed, "To be precise, it is Da Liang who has already lost his sharpness, Zhu Mao gave up Yunzhou, this Yunzhou is almost under the control of our Chao family and several other Huli forces, Da Liang actually pushes back, thinking that our requirements are too high, but our requirements are too high? We only hope to form two armies and water armies, and then Assassin Shi is the candidate we recognize, but Da Liang is unwilling to agree because it costs too much! It's unimaginable!"

"Why is Daliang like this?!" The handsome young man couldn't understand, "To say that Daliang can't support it, it's impossible, I'm in Bianliang City, where the dignitaries and nobles in the city spend their money like dirt, every night all the restaurants and workshops are overcrowded, it's common for prostitutes to play all night, and it's common to spend 100 gold overnight, and there are also Oiran competitions in late spring and early autumn every year, and it's even more empty, how can it be ......"

"Hmph, there's nothing impossible, that's what the Daliang Political Hall and the Privy Council said, do you want to say it's a pretext? Could it be that they have no interest in Yunzhou at all?" Chao Xiangfang couldn't help but feel a little angry, "I can only say that Daliang is old and can't be trusted!

Chao Xiangfang used an ancient saying to scold the generals of Daliang.

"That being the case, we should find another way out as soon as possible!" The handsome young man immediately picked up: "At present, the world is in turmoil, and the heroes are rising together, although our Chao family is dominant in Yunzhou, but it is not enough to stand on its own, and today's plan is to find a big tree to attach to, and it can also clear the name of the thief for our Chao family, and glorify our ancestors." ”

Chao Xiangfang didn't expect his young brother to be so quick in thinking, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, so Dad is deliberately optimistic about Huaiyou,......"

"Then why do we still have to fight Huaiyou to the death?" the handsome young man was surprised, but immediately reacted: "Daddy, don't you want to use this to prove the importance and weight of our Chao family?

"How can you get it without paying?" How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" Chao Xiangfang, who rubbed his face, said lightly: "Huaiyou has recruited the Shouzhou Navy and Chaohu Water Bandits, Kou Wenli has become the general of the Navy under Jiang Feng, and Huaiyou's need for our Chao family is not strong, so we must prove that we are worthy of Huaiyou's attention!"
