Chapter 374: Counting is Counting
It has been three days since Lian Wuxian attacked Song Jiang, and during these three days, Aoki City has been quiet and quiet, and there has been no movement to attack Huanqing City.
And this matter also spread to Huanqing City.
On the Qingcheng Mansion, a group of high-level officials from the Chu Wangfu gathered, sitting in a precarious position, listening to the informant tell the incident in Qingmu City three days ago with a serious face.
Because Song Jiang was so seriously injured that he couldn't move in bed, it would take at least three months to recover.
And after Xu Heng was taken back by King Yu, he was punished with a hundred sticks in public, and he could only lie on the bed to recuperate.
If there is no residue, he will be sealed and cultivated by the master of the Wind and Blood Building, and he will be confined. ”
When the messenger finished speaking, there was silence in the lobby.
Zhou Xuan, Fang Shiyuan and the others were thoughtful, and their afterglow looked at Li Yuan on the main seat above from time to time.
Xu Yan, Song Kong, Liu Qingquan and others were also very quiet, their faces did not change, and their eyes were looking straight ahead.
At this time, they all had a thought in their hearts, is this Song Jiang a person from His Highness?
Maybe it's actually the person who is not remnant in refining the highness!
Before, it was His Highness who deliberately let Lian Wuwu go.
Li Yuan's face on the main seat was very calm, his fingers tapped on the chair handle, and finally said with interest:
"Oh, Xu Heng and Lian Wuxian almost killed Song Jiang, so they punished him like this?
Li Zongyi on the side of King Heng didn't say anything? ”
"Uh......" The informant's face was stunned, and then he quickly reported:
"It is said that the Lord of Fengxue Mansion invited Beiming Cangtuo, Yungu Lord, Wu Yuxue, Lu Junyi, Li Zongyi and several others to a banquet that night, and then punished himself with three cups, and the matter seems to be over."
When everyone heard this, they instantly showed their expressions.
It is difficult to judge this matter, although Lian Wuxian and Xu Heng's judgment is wrong, Song Jiang is indeed suspicious.
Lian Wuxian is a venerable, and Xu Heng is a person who is honored as a king, they have all been punished, what else can you Song Jiang do.
However, how could a person in the realm of a mere grandmaster compare to the status of these two people, so Song Jiang could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Li Yuan sighed and shook his head, this world is like this, the owner of the Wind and Blood Mansion has already given face to punish himself for three cups, didn't he see that King Yu didn't even punish one cup.
Li Yuan's face quickly became solemn, and he swept to everyone and said:
"Although Aoki City has not attacked in the past three days, their threat is always there, what can you do to break the enemy?"
When everyone below heard this, there was silence again.
The enemy is too strong, they are on the defensive side, and it is not an easy thing to defeat them.
Li Yuan looked at the silence of everyone, his solemn face softened, and he said with a faint smile:
"It's really difficult to defeat King Yu, let's take it one step at a time, and you can feel free to say whatever you think now."
Seeing Li Yuan speak again, everyone raised their heads one after another, their eyes changed, and they looked for others.
His Highness has spoken again, and it will not work if no one speaks again.
Sure enough, soon a figure stood up, it was Zhou Xuan.
I saw Zhou Xuan standing straight, bowing slightly to Li Yuan, his eyes swept to everyone, and he chuckled:
"Your Highness, in the eyes of our subordinates, the matter of Lian Wuxian and Xu Heng's attack on Song Jiang is a good opportunity for us."
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed,
"Strong enemies are often broken down from within!"
Everyone's eyes moved, and their eyes converged on Zhou Xuan, and they seemed to have some good plan when they heard what he meant.
"Oh, Zhou Xuan, what do you think?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he had a little expectation in his heart, hoping that Zhou Xuan could give him some surprises.
"Your Highness, Lian Wuxian's attack on Song Jiang has given his subordinates a direction to break the enemy, and we can start from the inside of Aoki City." Zhou Xuan's palm looked at everything in the void, with a chuckle, and talked eloquently.
"Aoki City's strength seems to be extremely strong and invincible, but they are divided into two major forces, the Yuwang and the Lianzhou Alliance, and the Lianzhou Alliance is divided into several forces.
And now that the incident of Aoki Castle Lian Wuxian attacking Song Jiang seems to have passed on the surface, there has been a trace of estrangement between King Yu and the Lianzhou Alliance, and coupled with this incident, the estrangement between the two sides is probably getting deeper and deeper. ”
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, everyone nodded, and many people's eyes gradually brightened, as if they knew Zhou Xuan's thoughts.
I saw Zhou Xuan smile and groaned: "And among the various forces of the Lianzhou Alliance, the subordinates don't think that they have other ideas, especially those who have been wronged just now, borrowing their hands to destroy the unity of the various forces in Aoki City." ”
"Zhou Xuan, do you mean that we are secretly recruiting Song Jiang?" A voice of surprise rang out.
Song Lan on the opposite side, his eyes were blazing, and he said excitedly.
Song Zhi and Leng Tao's eyes lit up, Song Jiang almost died, but the enemy had nothing to do, Song Jiang was definitely not convinced, so it was possible for them to ambush Song Jiang.
However, Zhou Xuan shook his head, looked at Li Yuan above, and said solemnly:
"Your Highness, your subordinates think we can try to subdue Xu Heng!"
"Xu Heng?"
Song Lan's excited face was stunned for a while, he guessed wrong? Not Song Jiang?
Jia Xu below Li Yuan flashed with a ray of fine light.
The others looked at Zhou Xuan with a look of surprise, a direction they had never thought of.
Li Yuan showed interest, sat up straight, and said expectantly:
"Zhou Xuan, you continue."
Zhou Xuan saw His Royal Highness's encouraging eyes, his heart was very excited, his mind was running wildly, and his thoughts were getting clearer and clearer.
"From the incident of Xu Heng and Lian Wuxian attacking Song Jiang, Xu Heng's purpose is to establish a great merit for King Yu to see, and to get King Yu's attention.
But he didn't expect Lian Wuxian to be so impulsive and ruin his plan, causing him to end the temptation just now.
From Xu Heng's starting point, his first purpose was to get the attention of King Yu, and the second purpose was to clear the internal troubles of Aoki City.
Judging from the fact that he faced Wu Yuxue's last questioning without a trace of shame, Xu Heng did not feel that he was wrong. ”
Zhou Xuan's eyes flickered, this was the reason why he chose Xu Heng, Xu Heng directly said in front of the public that he doubted all the top forces of the Lianzhou Alliance, especially when he questioned Song Jiang's failure, it can be said that the entire Lianzhou Alliance now has opinions on Xu Heng.
After King Yu brought him back, he even beat a hundred boards in public, and he was punished in public if he failed to plan, which is a humiliation for any strategist.
Moreover, Xu Heng offended Wei Wen, the most relied on advisor of King Yu, and it is conceivable that his situation is not easy.
The various reasons for all this are the reasons why his subordinates think that they can subdue Xu Heng. Zhou Xuan looked around, his eyes sparkled, and finally saluted Li Yuan with his fists and sat down.
Just after Zhou Xuan sat down, Song Lan put forward his thoughts: "Then why can't we make preparations with both hands and recruit Song Jiang and Xu Heng at the same time?" ”
Xu Shenglong, the eldest son of the Black Jiao Gang, also agreed: "Yes, Song Jiang has been greatly wronged, he was fine, but he was suddenly attacked by his allies, saying that he was a spy of the enemy, and the other party did it without evidence."
Now that the truth is revealed, Song Jiang can be regarded as clearing the suspicion, but after being so seriously injured, the two people who harmed him have nothing to do, Song Jiang must be extremely aggrieved in his heart, and we are even easier to accept than Xu Heng. ”
"Hmm!" Quite a few people nodded slightly.
Li Yuan raised the corners of his eyes and looked at Zhou Xuan.
In the face of their questions, Zhou Xuan smiled unchanged and explained:
"There are three reasons why I didn't choose Song Jiang, the first reason is that Song Jiang is a person, it seems that Song Jiang is easy to rebel after this incident, but according to intelligence, Song Jiang is an extremely loyal person, even if he has been greatly wronged, he is afraid that he will not do anything to hurt his allies, so it is far more difficult for us to subdue such a person than to subdue Xu Heng.
The second reason is that although Song Jiang's suspicion has been lifted, the Lianzhou Alliance may not have been wary of him, and it will not have much effect on subduing Song Jiang.
The third reason is that there must be many smart people in the Lianzhou Alliance, and some of them may guess that we will secretly subdue Song Jiang, and we will definitely watch Song Jiang's every move in secret.
In case they find out that Song Jiang is cooperating with us, they will do everything they can, and use Song Jiang to seduce us out and set a trap. ”
"I see, teachable!"
Song Lan on the opposite side listened to Zhou Xuan's words, sighed and was convinced.
The others also showed admiration on their faces.
Zhou Xuan smiled after seeing everyone's expressions of approval, and glanced at Li Yuan above.
In fact, Zhou Xuan chose Xu Heng for another reason, that is, he didn't know whether Song Jiang was His Royal Highness's person.
If Song Jiang is His Royal Highness's person, then subduing Song Jiang is simply a redundant move.
And if Song Jiang is not His Royal Highness's person, it is the three reasons that he said.
What's more, it's really useless to subdue Song Jiang now, Song Jiang is seriously injured and can only lie on the bed, which can play a very small role.
"Very good, Zhou Xuan, your idea is good, this matter will be handed over to you, this king will let all the people in Luowang cooperate with you, and you will definitely be able to contact Xu Heng."
Li Yuan clapped his hands lightly and ordered heartily.
"Yes, Your Highness, Zhou Xuan will live up to his trust."
Zhou Xuan saw that Li Yuan had adopted his suggestion and let himself preside, he was faintly excited in his heart, and immediately got up to receive the order.
And Song Lan and Xu Shenglong looked at Zhou Xuan with envy.
They also want to get the attention of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's answer, Li Yuan's face turned solemn, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, before defeating King Yu, we can't relax for a moment and always be vigilant around us."
"Yes!"
Everyone in the lobby answered in unison.
………………
In the house, Li Yuan and Jia Xu walked slowly into the flower pavilion.
The small leaves on the side quickly set up the tea set, and after a while, a strong tea fragrance overflowed.
"Wenhe, what does King Yu want to do?"
Li Yuan lived up to the previous relaxation in the lobby, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
Song Jiang: Their current situation is very bad!
"It seems that this time it is King Yu's counterattack to us last time to confuse him." Jia Xu said with a solemn face, "King Yu wants to use this matter to speculate whether our last conversation was true, or did he deliberately say it to him." ”
When he heard that Xu Heng thought that Song Jiang and Bingxue Pavilion were his own people.
Li Yuan and Jia Xu immediately reacted that Xu Heng was the person deliberately sent by the Yuwang faction.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
The last time he and Jia Xu improvised and passed on the fact that Song Jiang and Bingxue Pavilion might be exposed, to King Yu.
King Yu didn't care if he was fooled or not, he had already changed his strategy, and King Yu naturally couldn't suffer this loss, so he wanted to borrow Xu Heng to fight back against him, and by the way, to find out whether the Ice and Snow Pavilion was Li Yuan's person.
If the conversation between Li Yuan and Jia Xu last time was true and was really heard by Fu Dezhao, then Bingxue Pavilion was Li Yuan's person.
If Li Yuan knew that Fu Dezhao was around, and deliberately falsely sent news to Fu Dezhao, then the Ice and Snow Pavilion would not be Li Yuan's person, and King Yu would be able to trust the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed: "This trick of King Yu kills three birds with one stone!" ”
King Yu had already determined that Song Jiang was on his side, so he moved to Song Jiang unceremoniously, and directly bewitched Song Jiang to Lian Wucripple and severely injured Song Jiang.
Now Song Jiang is seriously injured, first, he has no ability to run, second, he has no ability to stir up the storm in secret, and third, the Lianzhou Alliance has begun to suspect Song Jiang.
So now it makes no difference whether Song Jiang is in the Lianzhou Alliance or not.
And the Lianzhou Union is also in chaos.
King Yu can also test whether the last time His Highness talked to him is true.
Because in this matter, in everyone's opinion, it was Xu Heng himself who deduced that Song Jiang was an undercover agent, and King Yu didn't know about it.
In King Yu's view, Li Yuan now has two approaches.
If Li Yuan's conversation with Jia Xu was true, he didn't know that Fu Dezhao was eavesdropping on the side.
Then things are likely to be like things in the lobby today, Li Yuan will take this opportunity to subdue Xu Heng and bury a chess piece beside him.
Because Li Yuan didn't know that Fu Dezhao had overheard his conversation with Jia Xu, he wouldn't have thought that Xu Heng was deliberately sent by King Yu.
Xu Heng is very aggrieved, and he is a great talent.
King Yu guessed that Li Yuan would be moved, and took the initiative to hand Li Yuan a chance to subdue Xu Heng.
Li Yuan subdued Xu Heng, indicating that Li Yuan's previous conversation with Jia Xu was true, so Bingxue Pavilion was Li Yuan's person.
If Li Yuan deliberately said it to himself, then just like now, Li Yuan directly determined that Xu Heng was sent by King Yu to deliberately seduce Li Yuan.
It is impossible for Li Yuan to be fooled to subdue Xu Heng.
The Ice and Snow Pavilion is fake, and King Yu can be sure and believe in the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
But now Li Yuan asked Zhou Xuan to subdue Xu Heng.
It was Li Yuan's turn to let King Yu judge.
At this time, Li Yuan's confrontation with King Yu was:
I know what I said before is false, and you're making sure what I said is not.
Now I'm telling you, what I said before is true, do you believe what I said is true?
"However, it seems that we have been relaxed for a while, they have not attacked our Huanqing City in the past few days, they should be waiting for the Fengzhou Imperial Court army to fight." Li Yuan raised his head and looked into the distance.
"Indeed, the Toyoshu side is also going to start." Jia Xu's brows furrowed slightly, but there was a trace of worry in his heart.
Normally, with Lu Bu, Cheng Yu, and Cheng Biting Jin, there is no problem in blocking the imperial army.
But Lu Bu is not easy to control, if he doesn't listen to Cheng Yu's words, it will be difficult.
The battle situation in Toyosu is very important, and once there is something wrong in Toyoshu, it is enough to change the entire battle situation.
Li Yuan saw Jia Xu's expression change, knew what he was thinking, and said:
"Wenhe rest assured, Gu has already sent Yan Liang to Fengzhou for reinforcements." (End of chapter)
