The white-eyed old man stood up abruptly and asked sharply, "You tell me clearly, what did you say the original words?"

The leader who came in to report was taken aback, and said busily: "That's what the second master said, saying that the Ruan family seems to have some different intentions, and even his invitation to talk is unwilling to accept it happily, blindly looking for reasons to prevaricate ,......"

The white-eyed old man had just returned from Bianliang, and he was still a little tired, he wanted to have a good night's rest, but he didn't expect the second brother to send back such a news, which couldn't help but make him vigilant.

"You tell me all the details you know, and you can't miss the slightest detail, understand?"

The white-eyed old man forcibly suppressed the irritability and restlessness in his heart, and tried his best to be pleasant, so that the other party would not subconsciously choose to please himself because of his emotions, which was what he was most worried about.

"Yes, the second master said that he arranged a clever person below to invite Ruan Zhongyu, Ruan Zhongyu may be a little reckless and abrupt after drinking, so he refused as drunk, but said that he would go to the second master tomorrow to make amends,......"

The white-eyed old man couldn't listen to it anymore, when did the children of the Ruan family dare to refuse the invitation of the Chao family?

Chao Xiangfang is his second son, and these people also know very well that in addition to Chao Xiangbing, the boss of the Chao family, Chao Xiangfang is the real controller of this army, who can decide the fate of this territory, this Ruan Zhongyu has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard gall, and he dares to be so presumptuous?

Chao Dasheng, who has been immersed in Yunzhou, a territory mixed with dragons and snakes for decades, knows very well that any subtle abnormality is by no means a causeless effect, and the subtle change in the attitude of the Ruan family is definitely induced by some factors.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and combed his thoughts.

Some time ago, the second child came to report that due to the continuous confrontation between the righteous army and the Huaiyou Army in the area of Xuchang and Pinglu some time ago, the losses were very large, and many leaders and soldiers were captured by the Huaiyou Army, but recently they have been released one after another, and after some people who have returned, many of them should have been bought by the Huaiyou Army.

And the news from Huaiyou's side, it seems that many people have indeed surrendered to Huaiyou, but it is not clear who they are.

Most of these people are people from the surrounding areas of the lake, and many of them are powerful and influential people in the countryside, and how to deal with these people is also extremely tricky.

Of course, Chao Dasheng knew that this was Huaiyou's conspiracy to use this way to destroy the internal unity of the righteous army, but he knew that this was a conspiracy, no, it should be a conspiracy, but the righteous army was helpless.

Each family was full of confidence in the people who came back from their own family, believing that their own family would not betray them, but they did not trust the people of other families, and this deep-rooted concept directly led to the continuous discord of each family, and then began to split in the leadership of the rebel army.

Chao Dasheng realized that danger was approaching, but he couldn't give in to Huaiyou at this time.

Otherwise, in the future, the giant wild water bandit can only become a dog who bows down to Jiang Feng like Kou Wenli, and he hopes to fight for more things.

But now it seems that maybe he doesn't want to be a dog, but others don't think so, and more people want to be Jiang Feng's loyal dog.

It's a pity that the girder ...... , Thinking of this, Chao Dasheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The girder is no longer reliable, and it is not even known whether he can survive this catastrophe.

This is the conclusion he came to during his trip to Bianjing.

In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Jin army in Hedong in the north, although Daliang still had a strategy to deal with, he was already exhausted, and he evacuated the troops deployed in the south, but he was still extremely passive on the northern front.

The fierce iron cavalry of the Jin army in Hedong came and went like the wind, and the danger of the river was no longer enough, and what made Chao Dasheng even more worried was that the attitude shown by the three towns of Heshuo was either indifferent, or timid, or chaotic, which made him even more nervous.

These were originally the allies of the Great Liang, but now they can't afford to be allies at all.

The intelligence gathered from all sides shows that Lu Longjun has undoubtedly abandoned Daliang and turned to flattering the Khitans, but it is difficult to say how the Khitans will treat Liu Shouguang, Liu Shouguang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone a good class, both sides are plotting with the tiger, it depends on who can calculate whom.

The Chengde army was even more unbearable, the Zhang clan was infighting, and the order could not go out of Hengzhou, and the armies under his command were even more scattered except for the pro-army, like bandits, and the states under his rule were almost semi-independent.

Wei Bojun still maintains a relatively close relationship with Da Liang, but now Wei Bo Jun is already very weak due to years of drought, and constantly asks Da Liang for money and food, and at this time, Da Liang is already fully supporting the northern war situation, obviously not much strength to support this ally.

It is reasonable for him to lose his sincerity to Huaiyou, but he is a little unwilling.

Even though he himself is old, it doesn't matter, but his five sons, he wants a better future for them, Jiang Feng's fierce generals are like clouds, and his ministers are like rain, if he can't show his own strength, why should Huaiyou pay attention to it?

It's just that this time it seems to have gone too far, beyond expectations, and Huaiyou didn't follow his preset path.

His hands were subconsciously clenched and rubbed, he shook his head, his eyes fell on the dark window, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, but the murderous plan was lurking, what did the Ruan family want?

Chao Dasheng's mind turned back, and he quickly thought about the Ruan family's intentions.

Under the Chao family, the Ruan family should be the largest in Juye Ze, and the Chao family occupies half of the power of the various water bandits in the entire Juye Ze, the Ruan family can account for 20%, and the rest of the families can account for 30%, but the main force of the Ruan family is in the area of Liangshan and Yuncheng, unlike the Chao family is still scattered in Juye, and even some of the forces are left in the newly controlled Lei Ze.

The Ruan brothers are also rebellious, if it weren't for the Chao family's firm suppression, they would have already turned into dragons in the land of Yunzhou, but this time the Chao family seemed to be a little uncontrollable.

Chao Dasheng couldn't help but sigh, he should have let go earlier, and let Xiang Bing and Xiang Fang take over earlier, so that they can grow up faster and not have to rely on themselves for everything.

His sons Chao Dasheng know very well that there is no lack of ability, but there is a lack of opportunities, and now it seems that it is precisely themselves who are blocking their opportunities.

Although the Ruan brothers are rebellious, they are limited to their strength, and they have not shown other abnormalities before, this time they have such a move, don't they feel that the defeat of the Chao family in Suchang and Pinglu made them disagree?

Yangsan, Yangsan?!

Thinking of this, Chao Dasheng was shocked in his heart, the strongest point of the Ruan family's strength is in Liangshan, and the Chao family's strength in Liangshan is not even dominant, but once Liangshan is lost, the Ruan family will dominate, no matter who wants to get involved in Yunzhou, they must look up to the Ruan family a few points.

But the Ruan brothers are not stupid, will they go to serve Zhu Mao in Jeju in the north at this time? Of course it is impossible; it is also possible to hook up with Daliang like himself, but now Ruan will definitely not be optimistic about Daliang.

The only possibility is that Ruan Shi is also moved by Huaiyou's solicitation!

Thinking of this, Chao Dasheng was shocked, damn it!

Once Liangshan is captured, how can Huaiyou stop at Liangshan?!

Xu Chang, Shou Zhang, Yun Cheng?!

Or even a giant wild?!

Needless to say, Shou Zhang has no hope.

Chao Dasheng stood up with a sigh, and couldn't help but regret a little that he shouldn't have gone back to Juye, it was already time to go to Liangshan, and it was too late to rush to Liangshan, the Ruan brothers and the Huai Right Army would not give themselves this opportunity, the only thing they could do was to hold Yuncheng!

The time is also a little tight, and Razor is also a card in his own hand, and he can't move it lightly.

Chao Dasheng knows very well that in fact, he doesn't have much choice, and he may eventually vote for Huaiyou, but with the card of Lei Ze, he will at least win more respect from Huaiyou.

"Come on, order half of the people in each department at home to strengthen the guard, and the other half prepare immediately, board the ship in half an hour, and let Xiang Bing personally lead the team to Yuncheng!"

Since the second Xiangfang side has been prepared, even if he can't hold Liangshan, but retreat to protect himself, the key is to hold Yuncheng, so that he has the confidence to talk to Huaiyou.

But Chao Dasheng also knew that if he lost Liangshan, he and Huaiyou actually lost the upper hand, and he could only seek a more decent result.

Chao Dasheng guessed correctly, just two hours after he gave the order, that is, when the army reinforced by the Chao family in Juye County was still marching towards Yuncheng County on the west bank of the lake on the boat in the lake, Liangshan was already on fire, and there was a sound of killing.

Contemptuously erasing a handful of blood splashed on his cheeks, Chao Xiangfang brazenly met it, splitting the water stab and the opponent's double knives to face each other, the knife qi was vertical and horizontal, and the stabbing light flashed.

More than a dozen bodies had fallen around the two, and most of the fortress walls had been breached, but Chao Xiangfang still didn't want to retreat.

"Brother Xiangfang, why bother?" A pair of fine knives conjured up the shadow of the knife changed endlessly, the body shape was like an ape, advancing and retreating, and the thin and fierce man's cheeks were still the kind of half-smiling and half-crying expression, which was impressive, this was the boss of the Ruan family, and Ruan Zhonghe, the head of the Ruan family.

"Hmph, Boss Ruan, aren't you guilty of doing this? collude with outsiders and plot against neighbors,...... Chao Xiangfang avoided the other party's sharp knife with some embarrassment, and swung his legs along the way, and a large piece of rammed earth on the fortress wall flew up and attacked the opponent directly.

The body moved, shaking off the splattered pieces of soil, Ruan Zhonghe stepped forward, and laughed loudly: "Brother Xiangfang, what Ling Zun did, isn't it a plot against the neighbors? ”

"Hmph, you're still rambling around, do you think your tricks can shake the hearts of our Chao family?" Chao Xiangfang felt a pang in his heart, and noticed that the soldiers around him seemed to be a little hesitant, obviously confused by the other party's words, and hurriedly refuted it.
