Pearl Roll XXVII. A leaf

If you want to talk about Liu Liu and Liu Qi, no one in the world knows about it.

Due to the recent emperors' favor and treachery, the people have been miserable, taxes are heavy, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused six or seven years of the harvest to be insufficient. At this time, the Liu brothers saw the opportunity and led a group of people to rise up.

At that time, the various forces in the DPRK and China were fighting openly and secretly, some wanted to use the rebel army to suppress dissidents, and some needed external forces to alert the rulers. In short, for a series of reasons, due to the delay of the fighters, the rebel army became bigger and bigger.

Later, some people of insight saw that the situation was unfavorable to the sky, so they asked for orders to lead the troops to encircle and suppress. In the end, although the rebel army was defeated, Liu Liu and Liu Qi obeyed the military advisors Feng Tai and Li Zhenzhijian, and scattered the army into pieces.

On the one hand, it can preserve vitality, and on the other hand, it can also absorb the power of the rivers and lakes.

And in this dispersion, several of them touched Zhu Changle's brows and robbed him of one or two pieces of territory.

Zhu Changle was furious at that time, and said in his heart: Your righteous army is not good at anti-Ming, and you have nothing to do to grab any territory with me. Thinking of this, Zhu Changle immediately sent the middle and high masters of the gang to regain the lost territory.

But the other party dared to grab the territory of the Yongle Gang, so he naturally made a plan to deal with it.

Just when the two sides were inseparable, a third-party force suddenly intervened and targeted the Yongle Gang.

At this time, Liu Zhongyuan and Han Yushan, who were in the lead, reacted that this was the other party's plan. It turned out that not far from this rudder was the territory of Xiaotianmen, and the two factions fought many battles in order to annex each other.

The rebels dared to shoot their territory, so they naturally discussed it with Xiaotianmen early in the morning. And Xiaotianmen is willing to cooperate with the rebels, because he sees that their ambitions lie in the world, not a small piece of rivers and lakes.

If Liu Liu and Liu Qi win the world in the future, he may be able to get benefits. This is the reason why Chen Xiaotian, the master of the Xiaotian Gate "Nine Heavens Thunder", is willing to cooperate with the rebels.

It stands to reason that the rebels are against the imperial court, and the Yongle Gang is against them, so they should be able to get the support of the imperial court.

However, after the imperial court was exterminated at that time, the rebel army sent a lot of money to the imperial court forces, so that those people bragged in front of the emperor, saying that the rebel army had been completely wiped out, and since then the world has been peaceful and the four seas have been stable.

Although the officials who suppressed the thieves were promoted, they were bitter about this kind of appeasement and adultery.

This is why these sporadic rebels dare to openly grab Zhu Changle's territory. In the eyes of the imperial court, they were just gang fights. Whoever controls it is fine, as long as the annual offerings are not reduced.

This is also another reason why Chen Xiaotian dared to cooperate with the rebels.

In the aftermath of this battle, the rebels had a new stronghold and new allies.

Helplessly, the opponent's advantage has been formed, and it is impossible to take it by force. I tried to find an ally, but no one responded. After all, the gangs of the rivers and lakes, interests take precedence. Only the Yongle Gang was robbed, and no one else had anything to do with it, and no one wanted to provoke a powerful enemy.

Help Zhu Changle grab the land, and at most get back what he lost, so the benefits are limited. But if they are allowed to seize more plates, it means that the Yongle Gang has been strengthened. Of course, no one wants to do anything that doesn't benefit them.

Therefore, Zhu Changle only knocked out his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach, almost cutting his intestines and forming internal injuries.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Changle listened to the advice of the military advisor behind the scenes, and broke the current fixed situation with a treasure and a situation that was unfavorable to him.

Now, the person in front of him said his intention, which naturally touched the anger that had been hidden in Zhu Changle's heart.

Li Long and the three suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. It seemed to come from Zhu Changle in front of him, but he was obviously very quiet drinking tea while listening to his own story.

And the scene was also extremely quiet, and everyone knew that the fire in the heart of the helper. It was because of them, no one dared to open their mouths to touch Zhu Changle's moldy head first.

"Uh-huh. After a moment of coldness, Nangong Yan coughed dryly and asked, "Li Long, let me ask you, the three of you are really here to make a bet with others, not someone to appoint you." ”

His question immediately calmed down Zhu Changle. In the anger just now, I didn't expect a lot of questions. Now that I think about it calmly, there are many questions that come to mind.

Is it true that the other party said that he was a figure under the banner of the rebel army, and not that other forces were sent to deliberately provoke a war between the two sides?

In other words, the other party is indeed under the command of the righteous army, but what is the intention of the person who bets with them. I really drank too much and made a bet. Or did other forces infiltrate the rebels and deliberately provoke the Li Long brothers to ......

Although the righteous army was mentioned, Zhu Changle was angry. But from another point of view, the strategy of the behind-the-scenes military advisers to provoke the world has been effective. Not only did those small gangs in the rivers and lakes move, but even the rebels and the forces entangled with them gradually became impatient.

Look at the hall again.

"No, no one has assigned it. The three Li Long brothers replied cautiously.

"Brother Zhu, I have nothing to ask, what other questions do you have?"

"It's gone. Zhu Changle said with a little tiredness.

"In that case, let the people be taken down first, and I will bring them to the yamen early tomorrow morning. ”

"It's fine. Then disperse. ”

"My lord's life, help the master be gracious!" While being dragged down, the three of them did not forget to shout for mercy.

After making it for so long, there was originally a banquet in the evening, so it was canceled. Everyone was listless and ready to leave.

At this moment, Nangong Yan dodged and came to Feng Renyu's side.

This move frightened the always calm military advisor.

Before Feng Renyu could ask anything, Nangong Yan had already said first: "Strategist, what a handsome body." When I was chasing Li Long just now, I couldn't catch up with you. Only then did I remember that you are also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, not a military advisor specializing in civilian work. ”

Feng Renyu didn't know what the other party meant, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "There were a lot of people at that time, maybe they blocked Lord Nangong's way." Lord Nangong, if there is nothing else to do, then go back to the room to rest first. If there's anything to talk about, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Zhu Changle changed his poor spirit just now, sat on the chair, and asked, "What do you think?"

I only heard one voice say: "Regardless of whether Li Long's behavior is a personal act or not, then Liu Liu and Liu Qi must have follow-up actions." ”

"Then how do we deal with it, even if we drive away these spies from the rebels, there are people from other gangs. ”

"Hold each other back. The Lei Zhen Gang, the Heavenly Punishment Hall, and the Xuanbei Sect have been divided. As long as we want to do it, are we afraid that the rebels will always be monolithic?"

When Zhu Changle heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. "Then in the opinion of the gentleman, how to divide and contain?"

"Back then, Liu Liu and Liu Qi divided the rebel army into pieces and scattered them to various places to develop on their own. In order to achieve better development and not to set up unnecessary enemies, these scattered forces are not allowed to grab other people's territory. ”

"But my territory was robbed. Thinking of this time, the fire in Zhu Changle's heart burned again.

"Yes, the orders from above are not well carried out from below, because there are internal disagreements among them. In the past few years, although it has not been possible to grab land in an open and honest manner, it has also been a conflict with some forces. Now, in order to keep things down, these people have negotiated with the heads of several sites. If something happens to those sites during this time, what does the helper think?"

"It's good, but now that I've become the target of surveillance by many forces, any random deployment of troops will arouse suspicion. ”

"Money can make ghosts grind, are you afraid that you won't find someone?"

"But are the people you're looking for capable enough?"

I only heard the man confidently say: "It doesn't matter whether you have the ability or not, just muddy the water." I'll do the stuff of the. If the helper is still not at ease, there is another safer way. ”

"Oh, sir, has a plan?"

"As long as Li Long's bet with others to visit the Yongle Gang at night is leaked to Liu Liu and Liu Qi, they will naturally be suspicious in all aspects. When the time comes, it will be time for them to rectify the internal affairs of the rebel army and face external forces. ”

"Good, good. God was so kind to me, he just helped me find out a rebel and sent me a military advisor. With this luck, why worry about big things. So, what should the military advisor do next?"

"Whether it is other forces that have fallen out with the rebels, or the rebels have begun to suspect the forces of all sides. At that time, they will inevitably be isolated, so we should be closer to them. ”

As soon as Nangong Yan closed the door, he immediately sat on the bed, raised his foot, took off the leaf that was glued to the sole of his shoe with real power, and observed it carefully.

As he expected.

Just now, when he was chasing Li Long with everyone, the military advisor Feng Renyu also suddenly appeared.

At first, he didn't care, but then, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

During this time, Nangong Yan wandered around the Yongle Gang, the purpose of which was to observe the entire Yongle Gang. He remembered that the place where Feng Renyu came out was a backyard with garbage. The yard is not big, there is only one gate, which is used to transport daily garbage.

Feng Renyu didn't sleep at night, what were he going to do there, could it be that Feng Renyu was depressed and in a bad mood recently, because he was demoted by Zhu Changle to manage garbage removal.

Obviously, managing garbage is impossible. Then there is only one inference, Feng Renyu has just gone out through that door.

What was he doing when he went out so late? Was Zhu Changle sending him, or did he have some secrets?

Nangong Yan looked at the leaf in his hand, this leaf was not a plant in the Yongle Gang. He had been in the Yongle Gang for so many days, and he had not seen this kind of leaf, not even a similar leaf.

On this leaf, there is still some soil, the soil is dark red, and it is obviously not from the Yongle Gang.

This soil, Nangong Yan has also seen, is a piece of wild grass outside the city that no one cares about.

For fear of change, Nangong Yan blew out the candles, changed into night clothes, and quietly left the Yongle Gang and rushed out of the city......
