While digesting the fruits of victory steadily, Liu Chan actively took the lower route and began to gather the hearts of the people from the bottom.

And Li Hui was secretly sent by Liu Chan, bypassing Cunqiao County through Tushui in advance, only with a hundred soldiers to escort him, lightly dressed and disguised, and went south to the hinterland of Nanzhong, and went to Dianchi Lake......

Of course, his task was neither to decapitate nor to lead a hundred warriors to capture Dianchi Lake.

He's going to take the upper route.

Even the powerful clans in Nanzhong are not monolithic, and they cannot be one-size-fits-all, and they must identify the forces that can be wooed in them, and they will unite and fight.

Only by establishing the broadest united front can Ji Han avoid repeating Wang Mang's mistakes, and then pacify Nanzhong as quickly as possible.

Although the Yong family is the dominant family in Yizhou County, like the three eastern counties, there are still other families.

In addition to the Yong family, there are still three families of Meng, Huo and Jiao.

Needless to say, the Meng family was one of the initiators of the rebellion itself, and it was impossible to get him to surrender without first crushing his illusions on the frontal battlefield.

The Huo family, that is, the family from which Yongjie's dog-headed military master Huo Huan was born, can basically be regarded as vassals of the Yong family, and it is also very difficult to rebel.

"So that's ...... Aren't we going to Dianchi to return in vain? Li Yi listened to his father talk about the situation of other families, and the more he listened, the more depressed he became.

Li Hui glared: "My father hasn't finished talking yet, what are you anxious about." If you can't hold your breath so much, how can you achieve great things in the future! ”

It can't be said in three sentences to become a lesson to his son, Lao Liu is like this, Li Hui is also like this, or maybe the fathers of the whole world are like this.

"Who said that we were going to Dianchi, we were going back to our hometown Yuyuan."

Li Yi was stunned: "Back to Yu Yuan?" ”

Yu Yuan is not far southeast of Dianchi Lake, closer to Fuxian Lake.

"Not bad." Li Hui nodded and said, "The prince has high hopes for his father, but now he can't return in vain." Although there is nothing to be done about the other families for the time being, they are determined to be a father for the family. ”

"Why is that?" Li Yi was a little confused.

Li Hui smiled: "My father has an aunt, and I married to the family back then, and now the head of the family is Xi, who is my father and uncle, your aunt." ”

“……”

Li Hui's father and son went down the river much faster than the news that Liu Chan had captured Cunqi County.

The Yongjia and Meng Shu did not know that the northern army had been killed, and at this time, Nanzhong was still in a state of tightness on the outside and looseness on the inside.

The more they went to the hinterland, the more lax the interrogation when entering the city, they only needed to scatter coins to open the way, and Li Hui spoke a fluent local accent, and their party easily entered Yuyuan County.

"Father, even if the family is related to me, now that the two sides are at war, let's go directly to the door...... Will they be bad for us? ”

Li Hui finally smiled with relief this time: "My son can have this concern, and it is very comforting for his father's heart, haha." ”

But he is clearly not worried about it.

When the familiar people found the mansion of Yu Yuan, Li Hui did not hesitate to report his name directly, which made Li Yi nervous.

However, after a while, instead of people coming out to arrest them, they were received very warmly by the planners.

"De'ang, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the children have grown so big. I must live for a little longer, so that my uncle can fulfill the friendship of the landlord, ah? Hahaha......"

Li was stunned, but he was just a nephew with a foreign surname, is it necessary for this aunt to be so close?

At the beginning, he was still young, and he really didn't have much impression of this aunt.

That night, Xi Xi held a family banquet to entertain Li Hui's father and son, and Li Hui also met his aunt after a long absence.

Li Hui never mentioned the rebellion, and Xi Xi didn't ask Li Hui what he was doing here, a few people just said goodbye, and the guests and hosts were happy.

After the banquet was dismissed, Li Yi helped his father, who was full of nonsense, to go back to the room to rest.

It's just that after entering the house, Li Hui opened his drunken eyes, which were clear, how could he be half drunk.

"Father, ...... are you?"

Li Hui said with a smile: "If you want to win over the planner, you naturally need to show sincerity. But after all, you and I are behind enemy lines, how can we be really drunk as a father? ”

"It's still my father who thinks it through."

"Tonight, I ordered the accompanying guards to cheer up, and if the situation is not right, we will immediately kill and leave the house." Li Hui said solemnly, "The guard of the West Gate is a friend of his father, and after leaving the house, he went straight to the West Gate and fled. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, the child will go." ”

Later, Li Yi, who had made proper arrangements, returned to the room, feeling uneasy, but saw that Li Huizheng had finished washing up and was ready to sleep.

"Alas, it would be nice if a child had the concentration of his father." Li Yi sighed, and became more and more convinced by the crown prince Liu Chan.

The prince was a few years younger than himself, and he had already led the army to command, but he was worried about this in his heart, and it was too far behind.

Li Hui said with a smile: "Being able to have such determination for my father is also confident in my uncle." The arrangement is just in case, I expect that there will be nothing to do tonight, as long as I get through tonight safely, I can talk to him tomorrow about business. ”

Later, Li Yi asked him curiously why he was so confident in this person.

How can relatives like this, who are said to be close and separated by a layer, and far away and not far away, be reliable only by kinship?

"Your aunt ancestor, in fact, has been admiring it for a long time since the king was stationed in Jiameng Pass." Li Hui said, "He was originally the county magistrate of Jianling, a big county west of Dianchi Lake, why was he dismissed from office back then?" ”

Li Yi shook his head, how could he still remember what had happened for so long.

"It's not like talking to people all day long about 'Xuande Gongfang is the master', and being used as a handle to get it down." Li Hui couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, "My father was still supervising the post at the time, and he was also implicated and dismissed. ”

Li Yi didn't expect this kind of thing.

After that, the power of the Fu family in Yizhou County gradually declined, and it was suppressed by the Huo family, who were actively clinging to the Yong family.

The father and son chatted for a while, and then turned off the lights early.

After a night without incident, Li Hui slept peacefully until the sky was getting bright, and he knew that he had bet on the right thing, and immediately went out of the house to find Ji Xi to talk about business.

It just so happened that Xi was also waiting for him early, and it seemed that he knew that he had something to say, so the two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

Li Hui sat opposite each other and said straight to the point: "Uncle, now that the Yongjia and Na Meng have rebelled, it is a good time for my uncle to make meritorious contributions." If he can make meritorious contributions to countering the rebellion, the family will definitely rise, why hasn't my uncle prepared early? ”

"Ugh." Ji Xi sighed, "De'ang, my uncle has always treated you well, and I just want to keep my family safe, so why bother to harm my uncle by clever words?" ”

"I don't want my uncle to miss the God-given opportunity, so how can I harm my uncle." Li Hui's face was unashamed and sincere.

Ji Xi said in a low voice: "The Yong family and the Meng family have been planning for a long time, and they have Jiangdong's secret support behind them. Now there is Yue Shan Gaoding in the west, and Zhu Bao in the east, and the momentum is huge...... Even though Xuande Gong is eloquent and strategic, it is not easy to do it in Pingnan. My family is going against the trend at this time, isn't it hitting a stone with an egg? ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Hui laughed heartily, as if he had heard a big joke.

Seeing his nephew laughing backwards and forwards, and even out of character, he couldn't help asking, "Why is De'ang laughing?" Isn't that the case? ”

Li Huiwu laughed to himself for a long time, and finally barely stopped, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "What my uncle said about Yonghong and Meng Shu is just a disease of ringworm and scabies. Like such short-sighted people, the king and the prince can be determined. Bucking the trend? Can my uncle really see where the situation is? ”

Ji Xi frowned: "Uncle is honest with you, why are you making such jokes." ”

"Uncle, do you know that our army has gone south in three ways, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and the rebels are only like chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack?" Li Huiyao bowed his hand to the north, and said, "The prince personally led an army to attack Yizhou County, like the generation of Yonghong and Meng Huo, how can he resist?" ”

Ji Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Prince?" But the ever-victorious prince who shot Lu Meng, beheaded Lu Xun, earned Xiahou, captured Xu Huang, first set Jingzhou, and then leveled the three counties? ”

Now under Lao Liu's deliberate vigorous promotion for his son, Liu Chan's name resounded throughout Jingyi, even if he was far away in Nanzhong, he had heard of it.

"Hehe, how many princes can the king appoint? Naturally, it is the heir of the crown prince Liu. Li Hui said proudly, with honor.

Ji Xi slowly sat back, looking uncertain: "No, not long after the Yongjia and Meng Shu got into trouble, how could the soldiers and horses of the rebellion come so quickly?" ”

Li Hui picked up a plum and put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it unhurriedly.

Then he smiled calmly: "If my uncle doesn't believe it, just wait here with Hui, and I believe that in a short time, the prince will be able to capture Cunqi." At that time, it is not too late for the uncle to make a decision, so as not to say that the little nephew is deceiving the uncle. How is it? Hehehe......"
