Huaibei, Hengzhou, Li family mansion.

During these days, it is naturally impossible to hide the various changes in Jiangnan from the ears and eyes of those who have always paid more attention to that side.

It's just that some people are still quite happy to see the chaos in Jiangnan before, but now......

In the spacious and elegant study, Li Shoumin stopped copying a calligraphy, his two gray-white eyebrows were slowly tangled together, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Changfeng, a close confidant standing in front of him, who was making a report: "That is to say, in less than two months, the three families of Yao Ling and Zhu have almost been wiped out?"

"Not only did it fail to plunge Jiangnan into complete chaos as we hoped, but it greatly boosted the confidence and confidence of the so-called alliance?"

Li Changfeng lowered his gaze and replied in a low voice: "That's it." Those three families are indeed more useless than we imagined, and they have been pacified by others in their own territory. ”

"Hmph, is the light just because they're incompetent? Or is it that the strength of Su Yang's three surnames is much stronger than what we thought of before? A Wu family has already performed so strongly, and this has to be added to the Gu family and the Lu family, which are stronger than them......"

"President, everyone thinks that this is completely the result of the people of Jiangnan who are lazy and happy, and Wen Tian is martial. Otherwise, just defending a city would have taken a month or two. But this time, almost none of the cities could be defended for more than five days, it was clear that they had no fighting spirit and did not dare to fight. ”

"I hope so......" Li Shoumin sighed lightly, things were beyond his original expectations, and at this time, he could only use such statements to appease people's hearts.

But then, the old man sank his eyes again: "But you have to expect the enemy to be lenient, and you have to take more precautions, otherwise you ......."

Jiangnan's rapid pacification disrupted the original arrangement, forcing him to change his strategy, especially to prepare for the next possible big battle: "Can the soldiers and horses south of the Yangtze River move?" ”

"Not yet, it seems that they are more than just to prevent us from taking the opportunity to cross the river, so they shouldn't dare to really fight with us......"

"It is difficult to say that since the failure of the Quzhou plan, our hostility with Jiangnan has been put on the bright side. If I were the person in power of the Gu family and the Lu family, I would not have endured this breath.

"Since there will be a battle sooner or later, it is better to take the initiative and kill us by surprise. So tell Huainan over there, don't take it lightly. ”

"Yes, I'm going to deliver the message...... Li Changfeng took the order respectfully, and was about to retreat, but he heard Li Shoumin speak: "Slow, there is one more thing." Can you find out why everything in Jiangnan has repeatedly gone wrong and ruined our entire plan? ”

This is something that many people in the Zongheng Association are extremely concerned about, and he, as the president, is naturally more anxious to know.

In the original plan, they planned to use step-by-step bribery and various changes to divide the nine wealthy families, so that they would be suspicious of each other and attack each other, and finally put Jiangnan in complete chaos.

In this way, the Zonghenghui will be able to wave its army south at the minimum cost and take Jiangnan in one drum, thus raising its own strength to a completely new position.

But as a result, whether it was the chaos in Suzhou with the help of the Su family, or the successive changes in Hangzhou and Quzhou, although they seemed to be successful, they were always destroyed at the most critical moment and fell short.

Li Changfeng obviously hesitated, but under the gaze of the other party, he still said truthfully: "Gathering many clues, it has been found out that it is a young man named Sun Changan who has ruined our big deal."

"He's always there to show up at a critical point and disrupt our plans.

"Also, even the alliance formed by several families in Jiangnan this time is inseparable from him, not only did he participate in this alliance in the Gu family, but he also had a close relationship with the Wu family and the Qian family......

Li Changfeng originally wanted to say more about the details he had, but he found that he was a little stunned, and he didn't seem to listen to what he said.

This surprised him, so he stopped reporting and looked at the other party curiously: "President ......"

It wasn't until he whispered three times that Li Shoumin suddenly pulled back from his thoughts, and his expression had become extremely strange: "It's him......"

In just three words, the emotions contained are quite complex, including surprise, resentment, and relief......

This made Li Changfeng even more curious: "President, have you heard of this person's name?" "Anyway, I don't have any impression of the name, it shouldn't be.

"Hey ......" a sneer, Li Shoumin's eyes already had a trace of murderous aura, "We are all familiar with this person, I have already given him a kill order before, and even let our protector Liu Yanyang of the Zongheng Society lead many good hands to kill him, but not only did he not succeed, but he lost their lives!" ”

Li Changfeng suddenly said the word "ah", and then reacted, and after controlling it, he was even more surprised: "What the president means is that Sun Changan is his ......"

"Yes, Sun Changan is Sun Ning, and he is our Emperor's Majesty!" Li Shoumin gritted his teeth and said, "Others may be deceived by his little trick, but I have long heard that he has done those things that are hostile to us in Lianghu under this pseudonym."

"Also, Sun Ning, the word Chang'an, isn't this a logical thing? If it was an old minister in the court, I am afraid that the problem would have been seen from this name a long time ago. ”

The look of surprise on Li Changfeng's face still didn't disappear, he only looked at his master in a daze, and only said after a while: "But why?"

"Isn't he afraid that he will go wrong when he does these things in Jiangnan and hurt himself? Even if he has great ability and can protect himself, if he is accidentally seen through by others, I'm afraid it will be dangerous, right?

"And he already has a huge territory in the southwest, even if he really wants to enter the Central Plains to compete for power, there is a more secure way, so why take such a risk?"

Li Shoumin also sighed: "Yes, why, I don't understand the reason for this, the risk he took is too great."

"But perhaps it was precisely because we could not have imagined that he would dare to take such a risk as an emperor that he dared to take such a risky move. As for what happened, only he knew. ”

It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and Li Shoumin really felt it this time.

But then, he sneered again: "But that's okay, since he ran out of the southwest, it's to give us a chance."

"Compared to him, those forces in Jiangnan are no longer important, as long as I can take him, I can afford to calm Jiangnan later.

"In this way, you send a message to everyone below, the top priority is not to attack Jiangnan, but to find Sun Changan, and take him down at all costs, regardless of life or death!"

After two years, this pair of opponents finally fought head-on again!
