Although the rear roads were in place one after another, Li Tai did not order a new offensive to Fancheng immediately, but ordered the army to set up a large camp a few miles away from Fancheng for a short rest, and by the way, cut down bamboo and wood materials nearby to build all kinds of siege equipment.

The quick victory over Xia Jian also allowed Li Tai to initially establish his military prestige in the Jingzhou army, and the arrival of all the subordinate officials and heroes with their own troops was to show their attitude, and the implementation of Li Tai's orders was not discounted, and soon a camp base was built in the north of Fancheng.

Most of the enemy troops outside the city gathered here, which naturally brought great psychological pressure to the defenders. However, for them now, it is not only that disturbs the morale of the military.

The old linen-wrapped cannonstone would be smashed into the city from time to time, and in addition to the paper balls, some fine silk silk was also used as writing material.

The general public is illiterate, and even if they pick up a ball of paper, they don't pay much attention to the information written on it. However, the silk book materials themselves have value and use, but it is difficult to recycle them all.

In order to ensure that similar news spread in the city and shake the morale of the army, Liu Fanggui had to draw a part of the armor from the city to form a number of teams, always pay attention to the landing point of those cannons, and then rush over to collect them as soon as possible.

As for whether these news were true or false, he had no way to collect evidence and did not dare to make judgments, and after weighing them, he decided to notify King Yueyang in the rear. If it is true, then it is natural to be more vigilant against Dushi, and if it is fake, it may be possible to use this to get more assistance from Xiangyang.

Liu Fanggui thinks this way, but not everyone thinks like him.

When the envoy of Fancheng crossed the river with these paper books and silk books and returned to Xiangyang to present them, King Yueyang's face suddenly changed greatly after reading them, and he asked in a loud voice, "Have these bewildering rumors ever been circulated outside?"

"The enemy introduced the city with stone cannons, and there was no shortage of soldiers and civilians in the city, but Liu Sima had ordered the blockade of the Pratunam Wharf, and no soldiers and civilians came south except for the last general......

Hearing the envoy say this, King Yueyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the voice and ordered the envoy to retreat and rest first, and after the envoy withdrew, he looked at his cronies and whispered orders to keep the envoy strictly guarded and not allowed to contact outsiders, and at the same time strictly check the returnees from the north of the Han Dynasty and not to blend into the city.

After everything was arranged, when King Yueyang's eyes fell back on the books and texts of different materials, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he scolded loudly: "Dog thief, dog thief, what is the intention of transmitting this evil rumor back to Xiangyang!"

The cronies in the hall had already prepared the draft and were ready to reprimand the Du family for being bold, but when they heard the scolding of King Yueyang, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they savored it carefully, and then they were sure that what King Yueyang was scolding was indeed Liu Fanggui, who exposed the conspiracy, not the Du family, and they were all a little unclear for a while.

"The Du clan has been evil for a long time, and it is not surprising that there is such a conspiracy because of its powerful and difficult to control. Therefore, I did not ask any further questions, lest they would be frightened and in danger and jeopardize the peace of this party. Liu Fanggui can't feel this forbearance for the embrace of the country, helping the enemy to carry forward ugliness and spread gossip, it's really hateful! The dog thief wants to use my power to help his country fight, and he disregards the safety of the country, if I cause chaos and harm the powerful sect, who should restrain the thief?"

King Yue Yang scolded angrily in his mouth, looking like he was full of emotion, in order to hide the fear in his heart.

It doesn't matter whether these texts are true or not, what is important is to reveal the fact that he wants to use this war with the Western Wei to weaken the local power in Yongzhou, and the powerful and powerful sect here can also use this to attack him in turn.

Most of the Du brothers served as county guards in the upper reaches of the Han River, and they also had a lot of troops and connections in Xiangyang, so there is no doubt that they have this kind of energy.

King Yueyang didn't know this risk, so he didn't want to put himself on the opposite side of a powerful sect like the Du Clan, what he really wanted to suppress was an old man like Liu Fanggui, who was quite powerful but not powerful in his own right, but prevented him from implementing administrative orders.

Liu Fanggui failed to effectively support Xia Zhishu and caused Du Youan to fall into captivity, so he naturally made enemies with the Jingzhao Du clan, and this was a very good situation for King Yueyang.

Liu Fanggui was afraid that the Du clan would be held accountable, so he had to defend Fancheng without losing it, and obtain protection through his military exploits. Xiao Jing, who is firmly seated in Xiangyang, can gradually add fuel to the military and political personnel related to Liu Fanggui

went to Fancheng to consume it, and finally the thieves retreated, and Liu Fanggui's forces were also consumed, so he could use this as a bargaining chip to talk to the Du family.

But now this person not only did not use his mind on the right path, but also spread the evil rumors thrown by the enemy to Hannan, in Xiao Jing's view, not only to sow discord, but also to faintly demonstrate. Even if he had any contradictions and disputes with the Jingzhao Du clan, how could an old official in a mere state be able to put his beak in it!

Because he was worried that Liu Fanggui, who was on the front line, would have any distracting thoughts and lose control, King Yueyang groaned for a while, and then said to his henchman Wang Cao: "Liu Sima is fighting the enemy on the front line, and it is inevitable that he will be worried, and occasionally his heart will lose control, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. In order to avoid his worries, Wang Senjun visited his family house and temporarily brought his family into the palace for protection."

Wang Cao hurriedly got up to receive the order, and then withdrew from the straight hall and led a group of people to the city to arrest Liu Fanggui's family scroll.

In addition to Liu Fanggui, the big hidden danger of Jingzhao Du cannot be ignored. King Yue Yang looked around at Zhitang, and immediately frowned and said, "Where is Cai joining the army? Call him quickly!"

Half an hour passed before Cai Dabao hurriedly entered the hall from the outside to worship the king.

King Yue Yang didn't blame him for his absence, and after waving his hand to retreat from the others, he looked at Cai Dabao and said, "Cai joins the army, I don't want to fight the thieves anymore, do you have a plan?"

"What ......?"

Cai Dabao was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously exclaimed.

A trace of shame flashed on King Yueyang's face, and he also knew that this decision was a bit rash, so he quickly said with a sad face: "I am not cowardly, although the thieves have conquered Xiaji, there are still Fancheng and Hanshui as obstacles, and it is not easy to get close to Xiangyang!" Alas, it is only because of internal insecurity and the enemy's exploitation, if we do not stop fighting outside as soon as possible, I am afraid that chaos will be stirred up inside!"

As he spoke, he showed the texts submitted by Fan Cheng to Cai Dabao, and Cai Dabao immediately frowned after reading it and said, "Whether this plan is true or not, it really needs to be prepared. Fang Jinyongfu character Bi Ji Xiangyang to wait for the thief, the army and the people in the north have a gritted hate, if the Du clan really vainly contaminated the thief, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to pull out the carbuncle poison......

Hearing Cai Dabao persuade him to take advantage of this opportunity to directly eradicate the Du clan, King Yue Yang shook his head and sighed: "The Du clan is united with each other, and the forces are upstream of me, even if you want to do it in peacetime, it is not easy, not to mention that there are still thieves looking at me in the water.

Although Cai's plan to join the army is reasonable, it is a pity that our forces are still not in reach. What's more, if I forcibly kill the Du clan, the Xiangyang clans will hurt them, and the Wei and Liu clans will probably look at me as an enemy. The only way to do this is to stop fighting with the enemy, pacify the country, and relieve yourself of trouble, is Cai joining the army willing to exercise a ride for me?"

"Since the king has been ordered, how dare the lower officials refuse. But it is difficult to predict whether this trip will be fulfilled."

Seeing that King Yueyang had made up his mind, Cai Dabao nodded and said, and after a moment of hesitation, he spoke again: "The reason why Xia Guanqian was absent was to investigate the matter, and he was waiting to tell the king. Does the king still remember Li Renluo, a guest summoned by the palace a few days ago?"

After hearing this, King Yue Yang nodded and said, "Although this Li Renluo's academic work has not reached the subtle mysteries, it is still considerable. It can be seen that these old families of the captive court have not lost their inheritance, no wonder their clans can focus on it for a while. But now that the war is the first priority, this kind of visit to the talent and talent recruitment will be put aside for the time being."

"But the king, this Li Renluo is not just a simple traveler, the current general of the Wei State and the assassin of Jingzhou, Li Boshan, is his son!"

As soon as Cai Dabao said this, King Yue Yang stood up from his seat in shock: "What? Say it again!"

"In the old year, two thieves fought against Luobei Mountain......

Cai Dabao even told the cause and effect of the separation of Li Tai's father and son due to the Battle of Bishan, and then secretly watched the change in King Yueyang's expression, and said: "The king wants to stop fighting with the enemy today, and it is a great good for the soldiers and people of the two sides. If we can get Li Renluo and his ministers to go together, everything will be helped!"

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

When his father was exiled in Xiangyang and lived under his rule, he suddenly changed to a complacent expression. I haven't figured out how to take advantage of this opportunity, but I obviously won't let it go.

When Cai Dabao heard King Yue Yang say this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had a good personal relationship with Li Renluo, so he knew a lot about his life experience, and asked him to verify his guesses, which led to such an astonishing news.

King Yueyang wanted to negotiate peace with the enemy, and in his opinion, it was a good opportunity to send Li Renluo north to reunite with his family, so he took the initiative to propose, but he didn't want King Yueyang to have other big plans. Although he was ashamed to have a friend in his heart, he naturally put the interests of Daliang and King Yueyang first in his heart.

"Cai joins the army, you go to Li Renluo's residence first, and ask him to be offered in the mansion, and he will meet all his needs!"

King Yueyang first admonished Cai Dabao, and then muttered to himself: "Then Li Boshan is already a high and powerful person in Wei and has a great future, so he will definitely refuse to attach to me, and it is difficult for a strong man to invite him to the south. But it would not be appropriate for him to help me do what was inconvenient to me......

After thinking about it for a long time, King Yueyang still hadn't figured out how to use it to maximize the benefits of this matter, and the only thing that was certain was to get in touch with the enemy general Li Boshan as soon as possible, and test his mind for the time being. If this son is stubborn and ignorant of filial piety, then he is also happy in vain.
