Chapter 102: Stirring Up Works
After cooperating with Ren Xin to complete the task of liberating Zhu Yiwei Baique, Linlang still chose to stay in Anguo.
According to Linlang, Anguo is where she grew up after all, and she may not be used to it if she really leaves.
And Zhu Yiwei is still there, she also wants to watch closely, and rescue those murdered women in real time.
Ren Xin has no opinion on this, so Li Hao is also willing to give her some support.
It just so happens that Linlang's ability has been confirmed in the play, making a Jinsha gang full of flowers.
So Li Hao made all the inns and restaurants in the Chamber of Commerce independent and handed them over to Linlang to operate.
Not to mention, Linlang has done a really good job, not only has her revenue increased several times over the years, but she has also sorted out an additional intelligence channel for Li Hao.
Andu Jinyiwei received the task requirements and immediately convened the backbone to discuss.
In the face of Li Hao's request to do his best to promote An Wu to go to war again, they were not much surprised.
Because if the balance between the four countries is to be broken, there must be a side that breaks the tie first.
It's just that the direction is here, and how to implement it has become a problem.
After all, there are not many people in the Anguo Dynasty who can influence Li Falcon, and most of these people will not listen to them.
As for Li Hao's mention in the letter that Li Ying could assassinate Li Falcon if necessary, it was also very difficult to do.
So after thinking about it, they finally hit the idea on Li Falcon's two sons.
As Li Falcon got older and older, the determination of the two princes to compete for the crown became more and more firm, and their actions became more and more impatient.
At this time, as long as it is related to the throne, most of them will react, especially these two people's brains are not very bright, this trick is even more useful.
Not to mention that it was really the last step, it was always much easier to assassinate them than to assassinate Li Falcon.
They didn't believe it, if these two princes died in the hands of Wuguo Liudaotang, Li Falcon could still endure this breath and not send troops to attack Wu.
After confirming the direction of action, Linlang and they began to strike.
For a while, among the dignitaries and dignitaries in Andu City, some people began to spread the news that Li Falcon intended to establish a prince.
At first, the two of them didn't take it to heart, because this kind of news was not new, and it would appear once in a while over the years.
After all, the royal family has always been the object of gossip among the people, especially Li Falcon has not established a prince for so many years, and some speculations and rumors from the outside world are normal, and even Li Falcon doesn't care if he knows about it.
But the problem is that this time is different, with Linlang behind them, the degree of circulation and outrageous degree of this rumor is not the same as the previous one.
One of the most striking is that Li Falcon has an illegitimate child among the people, so he has not established a prince for all these years, just waiting for this illegitimate child to grow up.
Of course, if this is the case, it must not be real enough, because a person like Li Falcon, who has such a powerful monopoly, if he really has such a son, he can directly enter the palace, and I believe that no one can stop him.
So in terms of the identity of this son, it is necessary to make a fuss, for example, this is the son of Li Falcon and the late eldest princess.
It just so happened that the eldest princess had been living behind closed doors in the royal palace in the name of recuperating from her injuries during the period before she died, and no one knew the real situation.
This matter is not allowed at any time, so Li Falcon can't bring this son into the palace.
Faced with this news, Li Tongguang, as one of the parties involved, was the first to sit still.
Although he didn't have a strong mother-son relationship because of the eldest princess's estrangement from him, he couldn't stand others splashing dirty water on his mother's head like this.
immediately lifted the table and ran into the palace to find Li Falcon, asking him to strictly investigate this matter.
And Li Falcon is actually more angry than Li Tongguang, although his moral character is indeed not very good, he will not be such a person who betrays morality and forgets his ancestors.
In anger, he asked Deng Hui to enter the palace, and asked him to find out who was behind the rumors, and to spread the rumors at all costs
Block.
Deng Hui knew that with Li Falcon's temper, he was on the verge of breaking out at this time, so he hurried out of the palace to arrange after receiving the order.
Then when he left the palace, he happened to bump into Li Tongguang who entered the palace.
Deng Hui could guess the reason why Li Tongguang entered the palace, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty has ordered Zhu Yiwei to thoroughly investigate the rumors, and now Your Majesty is in a rage, so Changqing Hou should not go in and add fuel to the fire, so as not to set himself on fire."
Deng Hui didn't really mean to think about Li Tongguang, but he was worried that the fire that was lit would eventually burn on his head, after all, where is this kind of rumor so easy to investigate.
But Li Tongguang's brain was covered by anger, where could he listen to Deng Hui's words, he snorted coldly and didn't even stop his steps, choking Deng Hui enough, so he didn't bother to care about him anymore.
The result was just as Deng Hui expected, after Li Falcon saw Li Tongguang, he was not sympathetic to the same disease.
Instead, he was extremely angry, because as soon as he saw him, he remembered this disgusting thing.
Then no matter how Li Tongguang asked, he was directly scolded and kicked out.
But what they didn't expect was that this message would evolve based on facts.
For example, after Li Tongguang entered the palace, two versions were immediately derived from the outside to explain the reason why Li Tongguang was scolded.
One is that this rumor is led by Li Tongguang himself behind the scenes, in order to help himself, a half-brother, in order to rely on this brotherly relationship to ascend to the throne.
Then Li Falcon already knew the truth, so he called Li Tongguang to scold.
But the reason why he didn't deal with him was because Li Tongguang was still useful and could escort this prince who didn't show up in the future.
The other did not say that Li Tongguang was the person who spread the rumors, but only that he was the insider of this matter, and that Li Falcon arranged for him to protect the prince, and he was the only person who knew the truth.
and explained in a way that Li Tongguang's continuous promotion over the years was intentional by Li Falcon.
Anyway, no matter which version it is, it is unacceptable to the two brothers Li Zhenye and Li Shouji, and they are already dissatisfied with Li Tongguang's promotion.
So the two of them teamed up and wanted to ask Li Falcon for clarification.
But Li Falcon was already angry, and in the face of these two uncompetitive sons, where he was willing to care, he drove people away.
In this way, they have a new understanding of the credibility of this rumor.
So the two of them suddenly couldn't sit still, and began to move from antagonism to unity, wanting to force Li Falcon to change his mind and make the crown prince as soon as possible.
In fact, this is also a method, after all, as long as Li Falcon canonizes the crown prince, then it can refute those rumors that he intends to canonize the illegitimate son, which is useful to quell the rumors.
It's just that Li Falcon is a rebellious character, where can he agree to this kind of persecution, but he doubts the two brothers and thinks that they are making trouble.
And the important thing is that these two brothers really don't look like good people, they can do such things.
As this contradiction intensified, Deng Hui failed to find anything useful.
began to transform this struggle between father and son from the dark to the light.
However, the two brothers, Li Zhenye and Li Shouji, were furious in the face of Li Falcon, and they were still a little empty after all.
Therefore, after some deliberation, he began to retreat and changed the request of Lichu to belittle Li Tongguang, asking Li Falcon to remove Li Tongguang's military power and drive him out of Andu.
But Li Falcon still thought that compromise would damage his prestige, and directly rejected the matter head-on.
Instead, he sent someone to reprimand the two brothers, and deliberately drove them out of Andu to sober up.
This made the two have to completely believe in the authenticity of the rumors, and began to choose a complete blackening.
There are a group of supporters behind these two people, and now seeing that the investment may be completely failed, where can they be willing, and for a while, the entire Anguo began to surge.
Deng Hui in Li Falcon thinks so
After the two brothers were doing something, they sent people to watch their every move, so they soon found out about it and hurriedly ran to Li Falcon to tell them.
Li Falcon was furious when he heard this, and he was about to transfer troops to arrest them.
Deng Hui hurriedly persuaded: "Over the years, the two princes have attached a lot of people, and if they are arrested rashly, I am afraid that they will set off huge waves.
And even if the two princes are arrested, what should they do after that, after all, the three princes are too young to take on state affairs."
Li Falcon calmed down at this time, stared at Deng Hui and said, "What do you mean is that I am afraid that I will die early, and I will not have time to support the third prince to grow up."
Deng Hui bowed to the ground: "The minister doesn't dare to speak falsely, but everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted."
"There aren't many people who can tell me the truth now." Li Falcon first praised Deng Hui before asking, "Then what do you think should be done?"
"Actually, the crux of this matter is that it is stuck in the position of the crown prince, if it can be ...... as soon as possible," Deng Hui said tentatively while looking at Li Falcon's face.
When he found that it didn't work, he said, "Of course, if Your Majesty doesn't want to, you can find a way to transform this internal contradiction into the outside.
The most important thing now is the two princes, as long as they can be divided, this matter will be over for the time being.
After all, there is no evidence for this kind of rumor, and after a while, I believe most of them will be able to figure it out."
Li Falcon followed Deng Hui's words and thought that if he wanted to divide them, he still had to use the storage position as bait, otherwise the two would not be easily baited.
It's just that he doesn't want to use this trick very much, and he always feels like an alternative compromise.
So he used the reason to think about it again and asked Deng Hui to retreat first.
It was also at this time that Linlang and the others sent a big gift to Li Falcon again, arranged a section of the Wuguo border army, and looted a village in Anguo.
Although the loss is not big, this is a naked slap in the face for Li Falcon.
It just so happened that Li Falcon also wanted to divert his attention, so he simply made a big deal about this matter, asked Wuguo to hand over the murderer, and compensate for the loss.
This person was all arranged by Jinyiwei, and the people of Wuguo themselves didn't know what was going on, where they could hand over someone, but they felt that Li Falcon was deliberately stirring up trouble.
In addition, now that he has won part of the territory of Chu State, the strength of Wu State has recovered, and he has the confidence to deal with Anguo.
At the same time, in the territory of Wuguo, Jinyiwei is still stirring up the people's rebellion, guiding revenge against Suguo and regaining the lost land.
The two countries communicate with each other, and the talks can easily fall apart.
Li Falcon began to mobilize troops in the country, preparing to start the national war again.
As for Li Shouji and Li Zhenye, they were unified into the army by Li Falcon and put under their noses.
In addition, Li Falcon also figured it out, the left and right princes are going to stand, and it is also a hidden danger to hang in the air all the time, in case he suddenly falls down one day, the two brothers have to come to the mortuary and attack each other.
Anyway, if you really live a long life and feel that the superior is not good, it is a big deal to change people again, which is nothing more than paying some more price.
So this time, Li Falcon promised that he would choose this war with Wuguo and make greater contributions to the crown prince.
With this promise, the two brothers, who were originally single-minded, were immediately dismantled, and they each geared up to grab this position.
However, before officially sending troops, Li Falcon also had to appease Li Hao to avoid Li Hao's army at this time.
This task was handed over to Chu Yuan by Li Falcon, who made Chu Yuan Li Hao's father-in-law.
It was only at the same time as Li Falcon's message, and there was also a letter sent by Yang Xingyuan to ask for help, asking Li Hao to send troops to cooperate.
In response to the simultaneous request of the two countries, Li Hao replied in a difficult choice that he would remain neutral in this war.
But in fact, Yang Xingyuan privately received a secret letter from Li Hao, in which Li Hao asked Yang Xingyuan separately if he was sure of winning.
And said that if there is none, then he is willing to come forward to reconcile, and at most Wuguo will spend money to eliminate the disaster and erase this matter.
If Li Falcon insists on going his own way, he will be on his side.
Yang Xingyuan was quite confident this time, so he didn't agree to this matter, just let Li Hao be able to press the formation on the side, which was exactly what Li Hao wanted.
By the way, Li Hao also promised Yang Xingyuan that if there was really an accident, he would definitely help, which caused Yang Xingyuan to be thanked.
Of course, Li Falcon's side was not completely defenseless against Li Hao, not only did the soldiers and horses on the border of Ansu not move, but he even sent a message to Yan Guo and asked him to help guard against Su Guo.
With the will of both sides, the war between the two countries soon began.
It's just that unlike the last battle, Yang Xingyuan learned a lesson after all, and he didn't blindly prepare for a decisive battle, let alone go into battle easily.
Instead, they arranged for their cronies to be generals, relying on their familiarity with the environment and the popular support of the local people, to launch many small-scale battles.
Prepare to familiarize yourself as much as possible with the tactics of the Anjun army before the official decisive battle, and at the same time deplete their vital strength and morale.
After all, their battlefield is not near Tianmen Pass now, but within the scope of Cai, Jing, and Xu Jicheng in the original Su Kingdom, where the Wu army has geography, people, and people.
At the same time as the war between Anwu and Wu started, Li Hao was not idle here, and Jinyiwei was busy guiding, making the battle between Anwu and Wu more intense.
Su Guo began to secretly deploy troops, this time Li Hao wanted to fight a blitzkrieg, taking advantage of the fierce battle between Anwu and Wu, when there was no time to take care of anything else, to destroy Yan in one fell swoop.
