Chapter 196: Mutual Utilization
Zhao Cong's plan was to first use the fifth elder Qu Bojun in the Qu clan who was somewhat close to him.
managed to get Qu Bojun to see Bai Yulu as a secret agent of the Yueqi people who sped on the defense of Jiukoujiang City.
Subsequently, he took advantage of the hatred between the Qu clan and the Yue Qi State to get Qu Bojun to come forward and persuade the Qu clan to send a strong man to arrest Bai Yulu.
The main thing is that if the Qu clan makes a move, Zhao Cong will secretly ambush the dark line, so that they can see the opportunity and shoot all the three of Bai Yulu directly in front of the Qu clan.
In this way, if Yingdu is traced down, he can directly put the blame on the Qu clan.
If Bai Yulu's strength is indeed very powerful, he will inevitably hurt the people of the Qu clan, in this case, there will naturally be hatred between him and the Qu clan.
Such an arrangement, whether it is for Bai Yulu or Yingdu, there is nothing for him Zhaocong, and it is the entire Qu clan that is finally pushed to the forefront.
After Zhao Cong had such a plan, he ordered someone to send a letter to Qu Bojun, the fifth elder of the Qu clan, claiming to invite him to Qi Fengke's apartment for drinking.
The people in the Qu clan are not very fond of Zhao Cong, who was born in the Zhao clan.
Therefore, since Zhao Cong arrived at Jiukoujiang as a county guard, he has not had much contact with the Qu clan.
In comparison, this fifth elder Qu Bojun, because he served as the commander of the garrison of Jiukoujiang, often had some contacts with Zhao Cong.
However, due to the dominance of the Zhao clan in the Fengchu Kingdom, the Qu clan, a clan that inherits the family with loyalty and righteousness, does not have any good feelings towards the people in the tribe.
Of course, this also includes Zhao Cong.
After Qu Bojun received Zhao Cong's letter, he didn't give an answer immediately, also because he couldn't determine why Zhao Cong suddenly asked him to drink.
As the commander of the Jiukoujiang garrison, Qu Bojun not only had to be ordered by the county guard Zhaocong, but also had to take responsibility for the Qu clan.
The territory of Jiukoujiang, as the fief of the Qu clan, was originally the county guard here, and it should be served by the people of the Qu clan, which is a reasonable thing.
Once, the court of Feng Chu Country was also arranged like this.
However, since Zhao Yi became the Ling Yin of the Fengchu Kingdom, and continued to eat away at the entire Fengchu Kingdom step by step, the rules of the Jiukoujiang River have changed.
Perhaps, it should be said that the rules of the entire Fengchu country should be over, as long as it is an important city pass, all the children of the Zhao clan will serve as the highest military and political heads.
However, on the Jiukou River, the frontier of the Fengchu State, the Qu clan, as the lord, gave up the position of the county guard.
However, in the past 100 years, the military power of the border defense army of the nine rivers has never been ceded to each other.
With such an army of 100,000 that has often experienced wars, even Zhaoyi has already included all the other cities into his own hands, but he can't do anything to the Qu clan.
The county guard of these nine rivers sometimes seems to be really unworthy of the name.
Zhao Cong understands this truth very well, so after arriving at the Jiukou River, when he treats the Qu clansmen, he deliberately does it very humble, and he will not have impulsiveness with the Qu clan in anything.
It is precisely because of this that the Qu people who served in the border guards such as Qu Bojun have some remarks about this Zhao Cong.
However, since Zhao Cong came to Jiukoujiang, he has not taken the initiative to invite anyone from the Qu clan.
Suddenly asked to invite himself today, Qu Bojun of course had doubts in his heart, abnormality is a demon, he still understands this truth very well.
Qu Bojun turned down the invitation under the pretext that there was something going on in the clan, and then returned to the clan to discuss Zhao Cong's true intentions with the patriarch and the elders.
Qu Bojun is actually only in his early thirties, and he is really in his prime.
He was able to become the fifth elder of the Qu clan at such a young age.
In addition to the fact that there are many casualties in the army of the Qu clan, there are not many elders, and the second is himself, who is already a powerhouse of the seventh-turn martial artist level.
At the age of early thirty, he was able to cultivate to the rank of a seventh-turn martial artist, which was not only rare in the Qu clan, but also one of the few elite talents in the entire Northwest Continent.
When Qu Bojun walked into the shogunate hall, he saw that the patriarch Qu Yanqian and the elders were actually there, and a sergeant who looked like he was in the dust, was reporting something to them.
Seeing Qu Bojun walk in, Qu Yanqian was stunned for a moment, then motioned for him to sit aside, and then asked the sergeant:
"Haoyan, are there still people from the Zhao clan now?"
"No, since the county guard took over, all the people of the Zhao clan have been taken away by Zhao Cong!"
Qu Yanqian nodded, glanced at the other elders, and then ordered the sergeant to go down and rest.
From the question just now, Qu Bojun could tell that this sergeant had come from Agudan City.
At this time, the county guard of Agudan City was the second son of the patriarch Qu Yanqian, and it seemed that something had happened.
After the sergeant went down, Qu Yanqian looked at Qu Bojun and asked with some displeasure:
"Bo Jun, you don't stay in the barracks, what are you doing when you come back? I heard that there seems to be some change in the Baiyue Wu people recently, at this time, you should sit in the military camp! ”
Qu Yanqian's old-fashioned majesty made Qu Bojun helpless and ridiculous, and reported to him that Zhao Cong suddenly invited himself to drink, and finally said:
"This Zhao Cong, although he is my immediate boss, my contact with him is not special. It has been a long time since he arrived in Jiukoujiang, and nothing like this has ever happened before, and I am really a little unsure about the sudden invitation today. After all, a year ago, because of Jing Yun's matter, I once blushed with him, and I don't know what he wanted this time. Therefore, I would like to ask the patriarch and the elders to give me ideas. ”
Hearing that Zhao Cong was going to invite Qu Bojun to drink, Qu Yanqian and several elders frowned unconsciously, which made Qu Bojun feel a little abnormal.
"The soldier just now was sent by Haoyan, and he was also talking about this Zhao Cong."
Sure enough, as soon as Qu Bojun realized that something was wrong, Qu Yanqian said the sentence in front of him to him.
Hearing this, Qu Bojun was also very surprised: "What? Are the Haoyan brothers in trouble in Agudan City? ”
Qu Yanqian nodded at him, and then said:
"Hao Yan said that when Zhao Cong was the county guard of Yagudan City, he broke the peace agreement with the demon beasts of the Barbarian Mountain Range, entered the Barbarian Mountain Range without authorization, slaughtered and plundered the demon beasts, and seized their Inner Dan. Therefore, after Zhao Cong left office, after the Empress of the Python Clan in the Barbarian Mountain Range returned to the clan, she raised the soldiers of the demon beasts of the entire Barbarian Mountain Range to take crazy revenge on Yagudan City. ”
"What? What about Brother Haoyan? ”
When Qu Bojun heard this, he jumped up in surprise and exclaimed.
Qu Yanqian waved his hand at him, motioned for him to sit down, and said:
"Haoyan is safe now, and the demon beasts of the Savage Mountain Range have withdrawn."
When Qu Bojun heard this, he sat down with a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but scold angrily:
"Damn! They Zhao clan people, but let us Qu clan people wipe it! I said that at that time, how could Brother Haoyan be appointed as the county guard of Agudan City so easily, it turned out that he wanted Brother Haoyan to be a substitute for them! ”
Qu Bojun's words were exactly what everyone in the Qu clan present thought of in their hearts.
Qu Yanqian shook his head helplessly with a gloomy face, and said:
"There is no way to do this, now in the entire Fengchu Country, almost all of them are in his hands, and there is nothing we can do about such things. But fortunately, it can be regarded as Haoyan's blessing, and he can meet noble people to help. ”
"Patriarch, what do you mean by that? Did the Haoyan brothers meet a noble person in Agudan City? ”
Qu Bojun was angry, when he heard the words behind him, he unconsciously asked curiously.
Qu Yanqian nodded with a happy smile and said:
"That's right! The soldier who reported the news just now said that half a year ago, Yagudan City was about to be broken by demon beasts. Two passers-by from the Lei Qin Kingdom suddenly appeared in the city, not only did they cultivate to a high level, but they also had a relationship with the Empress of the Python Clan, and with their coordination and help, the Empress of the Python Clan agreed to withdraw the troops. ”
"People from the Lei Qin Kingdom? Who is so capable? ”
"White Jade Ring!"
When Qu Bojun heard this name, he was immediately stunned. He has heard this name for more than half a year, and he has heard it I don't know how many times, and at this time, outside his barracks, there is still a wanted notice.
"The one Shoi wants?"
After Qu Bojun came over suddenly, he hurriedly asked.
Qu Yanqian shook his head, frowned and said helplessly:
"It should be the same person. However, before I met this person, I didn't say it was necessarily. Haoyan sent someone this time to ask us to help find out the whereabouts of this Zhao Cong. He didn't know that Zhao Cong was serving as the county guard in Jiukoujiang. ”
Qu Bojun asked in surprise, "What are you asking him for?" Are the demon beasts of the Savage Mountains going to hunt him down? ”
"It's not! When the Empress of the Python Clan agreed to withdraw her troops, she had an agreement with that Bai Yulu to send Zhao Cong to the Barbarian Mountains within a year. In addition, Hao Yan listened to what they said, what kind of Gu had been planted by the empress in Bai Yulu's body, if she couldn't send people by then, even if Bai Yulu didn't appear, she would have no life to live. This person saved thousands of people in Agudan City, how could Hao Yan see this kind of thing happening, so he wanted the tribe to help find the whereabouts of this Zhao Cong. ”
After listening to Qu Yanqian's words, Qu Bojun understood the reason for the whole thing.
As a loyal heirloom, the Qu clan is absolutely impossible to sit idly by and watch the life of the life-saving benefactor be in danger.
Now it seems that it is the Qu clan, how to get this Zhao Cong to Yagudan City, or let Bai Yulu know that he is now in the Jiukou River.
"Bojun!"
When Qu Bojun was pondering, he suddenly heard Qu Yanqian calling himself, hurriedly looked up, and saw Qu Yanqian staring at him for a long time before he said categorically:
"Zhao Cong asked you to drink, you immediately agreed to him, find a way to gain his trust, and then we will find a way to see if we can trick this to Agudan City. I immediately ordered the people of the clan to find out the whereabouts of Bai Yulu, and once I found it, I immediately informed him to go to Agudan City to rendezvous. ”
When Qu Bojun heard this, his eyes lit up and he understood the patriarch's arrangement.
