Chapter 268: The Blood Imperial Family
Lao Jianhua looked at Xie Guang, carefully looked at every subtle change in the other party's demeanor, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Shizi, please come out." ”
As he spoke, behind the screen on the side of the council chamber, a handsome and tall young man slowly walked out.
The young man came to Lao Jianhua's side and nodded at Xie Guang: "Hello, Master Taifu." ”
Xie Guang saw the person who came clearly, and in an instant, he showed an expression of disbelief, and said suspiciously: "Di Xian, why are you?!" ”
Di Xian, who was dressed in royal clothes and dressed as a prince, smiled and said: "Taifu, please forgive me, I haven't had a chance to tell you before, Di Xian is just a pseudonym, and my real name is Li Jiong." ”
"Li Jiong?" Xie Guang was slightly stunned, and shouted angrily: "Who are you?" ”
Di Xian puffed up his chest and said proudly: "My mother's family is the Qiantang Di clan of Jiangzuo, and my maternal grandfather is the elder of the Three Dynasties - Da Situ Di Junru. I also have an uncle, who is the commander of the Red Blood Legion who was famous all over the world, and Hou Laozi Shang of Zhenping County! Taifu, who do you think, am I? ”
Xie Guang was dumbfounded when he heard this: "You...... Are you the King of Jin......"
"That's right," Di Xian said calmly: "My father is the flying general of the three armies, Li Chengxing. I am the blood royal family of the Holy Tang Dynasty, the son of the King of Jin, Li Jiong! ”
"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! Xie Guang stood up abruptly and said angrily: "More than twenty years ago, the King of Jin rebelled, and finally ended up beheaded. Whether it is the Prince's Mansion or the Jinyang Fiefdom, including the Jiangnan Di family and the Lao family, they have all been killed, how can there be such a fish as you who slipped through the net? What the prince of Jin, a bunch of nonsense! ”
Lao Jianhua said lightly on the side: "This is nothing strange. Twenty-five years ago, Lao was still serving in the Beiya Reverse Scale Division, and happened to be involved in the case of King Jin and the Red Blood Army. I went through a lot of hardships and dangers, and exchanged another child for His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still in infancy, so as to keep the bloodline of King Jin, and it can be regarded as living up to the entrustment of the commander of Lao Da back then. ”
Hearing this, Xie Guang suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are an undercover agent sent by Lao Zishang to the Reverse Scale Division!" No wonder ......"
Lao Jianhua nodded: "Commander Lao is not only my life-saving benefactor, but also my father-in-law, and at the same time my mentor. If it weren't for him, I would have died decades ago. For so many years, Lao has tried his courage and worked hard to help the prince ascend to the throne of God one day, and avenge the elders and relatives who died tragically. And you, Lord Xie Guang, are also one of our goals. ”
Xie Guang was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a sneer: "Hey, if you don't say that I really forgot." That's right, that's right, when it comes to this relationship, you should indeed seek revenge on Xie. ”
Then, he turned to Di Xian: "Did Lao Jianhua tell you?" When King Jin rebelled, I was still a small four-rank lieutenant in the Xuanjia army. In order to prevent the Xuanjia Army from quelling the rebellion, Lao Zishang and Li Chengxing sent people to assassinate the Xuanjia Army, which severely damaged the commander of the Xuanjia Army at that time, not only making us leaderless, but also almost breaking out into internal strife. Fortunately, He Jingming arrived in time with his troops, drove the King of Jin and his gang out of the imperial capital, and gathered soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and finally succeeded in quelling the rebellion. After the end of the war, Xie was promoted to the commander of the Xuanjia Army for his merits, and was ordered to eliminate the remnants of the rebellious party. Didn't you say that your grandfather was Di Junru? Ha, their Di clan was wiped out by my own hands! ”
Di Xian smiled faintly: "With such a relationship, how dare I forget it?" ”
Xie Guang had already guessed that he would react like this, and said proudly: "You already knew that it was very good, it was very good to be able to endure by my side for so long, and still behave loyally and without the slightest mistake, which is considered a very good city." Now that your identity has been revealed, you must be collecting debts? It's just that I don't know what means you, the so-called son of the world who came from a wrong path, have? ”
Di Xian looked at Lao Jianhua when he heard this, and Lao Jianhua smiled and nodded: "His Royal Highness, since Taifu is willing to condescend to ask, then you might as well tell him about it." After all, most of the whole plan came from your idea, and I just helped from the side. Tell the Taifu to listen, just ask him to help with the details. ”
"Okay, Master, that disciple will be ugly." Di Xian's demeanor was calm, and he turned to Xie Guang and talked eloquently: "Master Taifu, I have been by your side for many years, and I generally feel that you, as a general of the imperial court, are stronger than tactics and weaker than strategy, which is really a pity." ”
Xie Guang snorted coldly and did not answer.
Di Xian smiled and continued: "With the current Xuanjia Army, the situation can be described as extremely bad. With a strong army in hand, the tiger is in the Central Plains, but he falls into a situation where he is in danger of being attacked by the enemy on his back and is like an exhausted egg. Isn't it ridiculous that we are the first targets of others, no matter who we are? ”
"Isn't all this a good thing you did?!" Xie Guang finally couldn't bear it anymore: "You two dogs, you are embarrassed, give me many stupid tricks!" ”。
Di Xianman smiled nonchalantly: "You are not wrong at all, this is indeed a situation that we have deliberately created for this." The idea of our first step is very simple, and the goal is very clear, that is, to use you and Li Bing to disturb the peace of the entire Shengtang! But then again, as the commander of the whole army, don't you have a brain? Why do you obey Master and me? So, if you are stronger than tactics and weaker than strategy, it is difficult to achieve great things! ”
He didn't wait for Xie Guang to open his mouth to refute, and continued: "Looking at the situation in the world, we are not completely out of the possibility of winning, the key is in the eight words 'golden cicada out of its shell, watching the fire from the other side'. As long as you can do these two things, the opportunity to win the world will eventually fall into your hands! Specifically, it was to decisively abandon the eastern capital of Luoyi, move south, and occupy the Jiangnan region. First, they can avoid the attacks of the Turks and Li Bing as soon as possible, and throw the hot potato of the Central Plains to them to rob; Second, Jiangnan has been a rich land of fish and rice since ancient times, with a developed economy and a large population, as long as it is properly operated for two or three years, it can accumulate considerable strength. By that time, the Turks and Li Bing had also lost both sides, and the north of the Yangtze River was in full swing and in disarray. ”
"Ridiculous!" Xie Guang stroked his beard and looked up to the sky and laughed: "You dare to mock Ben Shuai's improper strategy?" I think you're whimsical! It is true that Jiangnan is rich, but there is no danger to defend except for the big river and the water network, so what's the use of you going? If you want to occupy it, you can't occupy it! ”
Di Xian smiled unhurriedly: "What a big river crosses, and the water network is crisscrossed!" As long as I have thousands of warships and 80,000 sailors in my hands, I should be impregnable! ”
Xie Guang was stunned: "You...... What did you say? ”
"Master, I remember that Taifu Xie once said that there are three people in the Holy Tang Army, and they have always been his confidants," Di Xian turned to Lao Jianhua and said, "He Jingming, Xu Lie, and Bao Yuchun. He Jingming died in Liangzhou, and Old Man Xu died in the imperial capital, and now only the governor of the navy army remains. ”
Lao Jianhua smiled meaningfully: "It's a coincidence that the Governor of Bao Dadu has been good friends with the old man for many years. ”
Di Xian said happily: "Master, you are still powerful." It seems that the apprentice doesn't need to make any effort at all, and half of the world has already fallen into the bag. ”
Xie Guang reacted and said angrily: "It turns out that you colluded with Bao Yuchun!" No wonder you want to go to Jiangnan to settle down! ”
Lao Jianhua looked very happy: "Bao Yuchun has been operating in the south for many years, and it is deeply rooted, and the sailors under his command have the ability to comprehensively block the major water systems of the Holy Tang Dynasty, and the Jiangnan Wang clan has a strong relationship with the Qiantang Di clan. ”
Xie Guang was silent for a moment, and snorted unwillingly: "It's beautiful to think!" Do you think the road to Gangnam is easy to walk? Don't forget, as you just said, there are enemies on all sides! From Luoyi to Jiangnan, the east and south are Li Bing's people, don't even think about going there! The most direct path, the southeast, is the territory of Li Kui, the king of Huaiyang. Do you think he will make it easy for you to hide in Jiangnan? ”
He glared at Lao Jianhua fiercely, and continued: "If you have to fight all the way to pass, even if you reach Jiangnan, there are only exhausted remnants left, what else can you do?" ”
After saying that, Xie Guang looked at Di Xian viciously again, with a mocking smile on his face.
After hearing this, Di Xian suddenly couldn't hide his frightened look, and hurriedly turned his head and asked Lao Jianhua next to him: "Master, he has a point, there is the territory of King Huaiyang in the way, how should this be good?" ”
Lao Jianhua smiled slightly: "Shizi, why did you forget?" The army of the King of Huaiyang will make way for us, isn't this plan arranged by you personally? ”
Di Xian patted his head: "Oh, yes, yes, haha, you see my memory, I actually forgot it." Isn't it for this reason that Xie Bao was sent to send troops today? ”
Xie Guang saw that Di Xian was deliberately acting, so as to play tricks on himself, he couldn't help but feel angry, and said angrily: "Enough! You two bastards, one old and one young, do you really think that this handsome man can't do anything about you? ”
He gathered his strength with both palms and shouted, "Believe it or not? Within twenty moves, let you be in a different place! ”
Lao Jianhua still didn't move: "Xie Guang, I know that you are strong in martial arts, and you once topped the school military test. But it's a pity that your opponents today are not Shizi and Lao, but them. ”
With that, he slapped his palm gently.
The door of the council chamber slowly opened, and three men in black with strange movements walked in from the outside.
Lao Jianhua couldn't help but smile weirdly: "Taifu, you must have noticed that there is no personal soldier general in the council hall today. Although we have already controlled the entire Xuanjia Army, let the pro-soldiers take up arms against you, I am afraid that someone may have an accident on the spot because of psychological habits. So, I specially found three guys and asked them to accompany you on the Yellow Springs Road. ”
The three men in black slowly took off their hoods as they spoke.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and there was no palm lamp in the room, but Xie Guang's skills were profound, and his vision was not affected at all, he looked at the three people carefully, and couldn't help but gasp: "Fuck! What kind of monster is this?! ”
"They're called poison soldiers." Lao Jianhua patiently introduced: "I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the Taifu." ”
Xie Guang scolded angrily: "Bastard! Lao Tzu has brought you fruit first! ”
As he spoke, he jumped up and threw himself into the air towards Lao Jianhua.
Lao Jianhua sneered, retreated sharply at the same time as Di Xian, and shouted: "Kill him!" ”
The terrifying-looking poison soldiers received the order, roared wildly, and greeted them together.
