"But what you said about so many kendo conferences, what does it have to do with me, and what does it have to do with He Yifan?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile, "That's right, the Mengyuan court used this 'internal strife' strategy to deal with me, who was still the king of Wu back then, and I deeply admire it...... But after all, nothing happened to me, after all, the kendo tournament two years ago still didn't end, didn't it......"

"Because of this matter, the emperor knew about it back then......" Lu Jing suddenly lowered her body and said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I already knew?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked knowingly.

"That's right, the Mengyuan Imperial Court set up a plan for the 'Kendo Conference', the purpose of which was to deal with the emperor who was still the king of Wu back then......" Lu Jing said, his tone changed, and his eyes were resolute, "But it was the emperor who used this plan in turn - conform to this plan, the emperor, you came to a 'plan to plan' back then!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Lu Jing's sudden tone, and his eyes froze...... "I don't know why the military advisor said this?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with a sneer.

"Back then, the imperial court set up this plan and spread the kendo conference to ......show you," Lu Jing continued, "Your Majesty, you are clear, you noticed the Mengyuan court's targeting of you, so you want to plan it...... In fact, long before the Northern Expedition, the emperor had the strategy to conquer the Central Plains, and Bianliang was also in the bag sooner or later, so in order to win, he had sent eyeliners to sneak into Bianliang two years ago to find out the details of the military and political affairs in the city......"

"You say I sect eyeliner?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.

"That's right-" Lu Jing responded, then looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said firmly, "This person is He Yifan-"

Telling the truth in one sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shudder for a moment, and the saber in his hand behind his back was also trembling before it came out of the sheath......

Lu Jing didn't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's actions behind his back, and continued: "Two years ago, the emperor had already tied up his disciples of Kongtong, and infiltrated Bianliang by taking advantage of the matter of the kendo conference, intending to investigate all the details of military affairs in the city......"

"You said that He Yifan is the ......eyeliner sent by me," Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked for a while, and then asked, "Then you should tell me about it, he is a martial arts disciple, and he is hostile to the Mengyuan Imperial Court, so what is the way to investigate the details of the city?"

Lu Jing closed her eyes slightly and continued: "Two years ago, the last general's friend broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night and accidentally learned military secrets, so the Prime Minister's Mansion was restless for a while...... He Yifan was in Bianliang at the time, so he naturally understood this situation. However, everyone did not know that the secret of the kendo conference was hidden in the Xiangfu, and they just ignored the matter, but the emperor, you know that the secret of the kendo conference is a trivial matter, but in your eyes, you have taken a fancy to the 'rich' land of the Xiangfu......"

"You said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is a rich place......" Zhu Yuanzhang followed.

"Because before this, He Yifan had been entrusted by the emperor to sneak into Bianliang and inquire about the military and political affairs in the city...... Lu Jing continued, "That night, the 'thieves' of the Prime Minister's Mansion broke in, but it caused a storm in the city, and He Yifan didn't know that it was because of the secret of the 'Kendo Conference'...... On the contrary, seeing that the Bianliang official mansion was 'restless' and the whole city was on alert, He Yifan's first instinct should be that there was a leak of military secrets that night - so, since then, entrusted by the emperor to investigate the details, the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion has become a place of 'secret richness' in He Yifan's eyes......"

"Even if the secret of the kendo conference is true, why do you say that all the secrets are hidden in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is there a secret?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"Yes-" Lu Jing opened her eyes and said firmly, "Yesterday, General Tang and I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time, but we saw that most of the items held by the soldiers in the outer courtyard were the arms rosters of the officers and soldiers in the palace, and other important confidential documents in the backyard had been burned down by Wang Gubu Zatai and Wang Dasheng and others long before the war...... Although in the later stage of the war, these surviving list documents were worthless at all, so the enemy did not burn them before the war, but before the war started or even two years ago, these things were the military secrets of the enemy's city to the emperor who recruited troops and horses back then -- it was these things that gave the emperor a thorough understanding of the military defense of Bianliang, including the number of troops in combat power and the ...... of armaments."

"Do you mean that I used the opportunity of the kendo conference to bribe the Kongtong disciples who participated in the sword meeting, and took advantage of this to investigate Bianliang's military background...... Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a low voice.

"That's right—" Lu Jing said without hesitation.

"Even if what you speculate is really good, then you can tell me what method He Yifan used to learn the secrets of Bianliang City's military politics......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask coldly, "I just said, two years ago, at the Bianliang Kendo Conference, although many martial arts disciples were able to be in the city, the more this is the case, the more the Mengyuan Imperial Court is more and more vigilant against the martial arts forces, and the guards in the city are not negligent...... Moreover, in recent years, the war has been continuous, in addition to the kendo conference, the imperial court is even more vigilant against the martial arts forces in the Central Plains, so let alone two years, even if it has been lurking for twenty years, He Yifan has no chance to investigate the details of the Bianliang military aircraft......"

"Because He Yifan used a trick to relax the vigilance of the Mengyuan Imperial Court against him...... Lu Jing continued to add, looking directly at Zhu Yuanzhang with both eyes, and suddenly changed his tone, "No, the last general thought to himself, it should be the emperor's instructions that you conveyed to He Yifan, and let him carry it ......out."

"What's the plan?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why, the more Lu Jing said, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface and asked.

"Anti-intermittent scheme-" Lu Jing cut the railway.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, just looked at Lu Jing quietly.

Lu Jing continued: "That's right, the Mengyuan Imperial Court is indeed wary of the Central Plains martial arts forces, especially the Kendo Conference two years ago, and it is even more cautious in order to succeed in the 'rebellion' plan...... But the emperor should also know that in order to deal with the martial arts forces, the Mengyuan court also likes to do one thing very much-that is, to buy the rebel martial arts disciples with Ronghua Yulu, and use their hands to exterminate the hostile martial arts forces or sell the intelligence of the 'rebels'...... For this reason, Tang Tianhui of the Tang family, as well as Chen Shijin of the Wind Chasing School, etc., are all like this......"

"What about He Yifan?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

Lu Jing replied: "As for He Yifan, the emperor, you have done a very powerful trick...... Counter-intrigue - ordered He Yifan to pretend to betray the information of the emperor's army to the Mengyuan court, so that he mistakenly thought that He Yifan was a traitor such as Tang Tianhui and Chen Shijin, and bribed them to target the emperor...... Who knows, He Yifan is a 'stinger' that the emperor planted in the Mengyuan army, wooing the imperial court, being a spy, and exchanging countless precious information about the Bianliang military aircraft for the emperor...... As a result, in the past two years of lurking in Bianliang, He Yifan has a close relationship with Wang Gubu Zhatai, Wang Dasheng and other generals, several exchanges, military aircraft intelligence has flowed out, and the emperor has also got countless things you want to know, the secret of Bianliang's military defense......"

Lu Jing's words also explained the doubts about the words and deeds of the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday......

"So today He Yifan came to my tent ......" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have put down something in his heart, his eyes lowered, and he said secretly.

"He Yifan came to the emperor's account, it was the last espionage mission...... Lu Jing said in a low voice, "The battle in Bianliang is over, the power has been destroyed, and what He Yifan sent today is the last information in Bianliang City...... But because the last general and others found suspicious points and followed them all the way, the emperor, you are wary of the last general and don't want to leak the secret to me, so ......"

"So I took it upon myself to kill He Yifan to seal his mouth......" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, and he calmly no longer concealed it, "But who would have thought that you still knew...... But I'm curious, you and He Yifan have never met, but when did you start to get suspicious?" Zhu Yuanzhang said as if he still had a question.

"On the night of the Bianliang negotiations, I was not in the pioneer camp, but I was still by your side ...... the emperor" Lu Jing lowered her head and said with an inexplicable sad expression, "I negotiated with Zuo Junbi on the outskirts of the city as planned, but I was attacked by Wang Dasheng's army...... That's right, He Yifan lurked in the city before, and learned the news of Wang Dasheng's military mutiny, the emperor has already prepared, but in order to test the strength of our army and prepare for the attack on Bianliang, he urgently sent He Yifan to inform our battalion and ordered General Xiao Tian and others to go to the rescue...... However, when the notice was made, a flaw was revealed -- first, to notify General Xiao Tian and others in the name of the last general, and second, to call General Xiao Tian 'General Pingwei'......"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to understand something, and his eyes froze.

"That's right, this is the only omission in your plan......, Your Majesty," Lu Jing continued, her tone becoming more and more low, "Because the last general and He Yifan have never met, it is impossible for him to go to inform him in the name of the last general at that time...... The last general thought to himself, the emperor was afraid that I would see He Yifan's suspicions early, so he never let the last general meet with him; who knows, it was this deliberate 'vigilance' that became the most critical breakthrough for the last general to find out the truth......

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes must have understood something...... "You are too smart......" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "That's why I said, you are the most terrible person in the army division, no matter how I use it, I can't escape your eyes......"

"Why do you want to escape the eyes of the last general...... Lu Jing said in a low voice on the side, "The last general is the emperor's person, but the emperor treats the last general as an enemy......

"I appreciate your intelligence, but I am also afraid of your intelligence - the hegemony of unifying the Central Plains, there is the division of the king of me, and there is also the unparalleled strategy of the army division, both of which have their merits......" Zhu Yuanzhang Mingren did not say secret words, and said without concealment, "But the road to the king of the world does not need to have two overlords, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, even if it is the care of monarchs and ministers, it is also the same, I want to understand this truth......

"But the last general is not the king, and there is no emperor with your ambition to dominate the industry......" Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's roughness, Lu Jing showed "decline" and said, "The last general admits that there are generals, but he has never thought about his great achievements...... The reason why the last general marched into the camp was only to help him accomplish his ideal wish, and that's all......" The "he" in Lu Jing's mouth naturally refers to Tang Zhan -- unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops to fight for the sake of hegemony in the country, while Lu Jing used soldiers like a god just for the ideals of his beloved......

But Zhu Yuanzhang will not believe this, his own imperial road cannot be rubbed into a little sand, compared to the powerful Mengyuan court, the strategist Lu Jing beside him has become the biggest obstacle to his road to hegemony......

Lu Jing seemed to have something to say, and continued to say in a low voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, you An He Yifan is the eyeliner, and in the past two years, you have learned every bit of the Bianliang military aircraft, the number of the army, and the combat power of the munitions...... In order to weaken the strength of our army, we did not hesitate to supply our army with insufficient gunpowder, and our army had to forcibly attack the city with flesh and blood, and suffered countless casualties...... in front of the 'Ghost Gate Cliff', I saw General Zhao Zichuan fighting alone, but he did not help...... Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei, the heroic generals in the vanguard army, and the last general's best friend before his death, all died on the battlefield because of the emperor's 'disregard'...... These are your ...... These are your ...... Hmm......" As she spoke, Lu Jing was filled with tears of resentment, and she couldn't help clenching her fists, gritting her teeth and saying - that's right, Zhu Yuanzhang calculated himself in every possible way, and finally "created" the tragic ending of Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei and others, is it Zhu Yuanzhang's fault or his own fault in all this......

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Lu Jing's grief, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, at least his goal was still achieved, and he couldn't help sneering: "Yes, it was I who deliberately calculated your vanguard army, and it was I who killed General Zhao and them...... I'm not afraid of being known to you, after all, you're a smart person - whatever you say in front of a smart person is just naïve...... I do this to let you know that there is no one in my world to stop me, and if you want to achieve great things, you can kill your loved ones ......."

Hearing this, Lu Jing's heart was even more painful, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide it in front of him, and said his inner thoughts, Lu Jing couldn't help but regret: "However, the ministers are loyal to the emperor and have no objection, why does the emperor want to ......"

"You are a smart person, you should understand this truth...... Zhu Yuanzhang continued to sneer, "The battlefield uses soldiers like gods, but politics, you can't wait for the pawns in the rivers and lakes...... Of course, fate is dead or alive, and you are all in my hands, and the next thing is to go or stay, and you can do it yourself......"

Lu Jing choked faintly, bowed her head and was silent, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang had spoken the truth in front of her, and all her fantasies were desperate...... After a long period of heartache, he slowly asked, "Okay, Your Majesty, you let the last general tell the truth, and the last general will say everything...... Like He Yifan, the last general is now living or dying, the emperor, you decide ...... yourself" Saying this, Lu Jing seemed to be ready to be wiped out, and the whole person fell into the valley of grief.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, the saber behind his back was about to move, and it seemed that it would come out of its sheath and see blood in the next moment-his life was about to die, and I am afraid that Lu Jing, who was in despair, would not fight back before he died...... But for some reason, looking at Lu Jing's depressed expression, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be a little unbearable, and the knife in his hand was not pulled out for a long time......

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Lu Jing stood against each other in the camp, silent......

"Why...... Why did the ending become like this...... I don't know when, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly contradicted in his heart, "They are the heroes who helped me pacify the world, why did the ending become that I wanted to kill them...... Who is wrong? am I wrong, or are they wrong...... There is only one overlord in the world, but is it necessary to kill them all......

People's hearts, fame, power...... Scheming on war is more cruel than everything in the world, and that is political struggle -- if you want to achieve great things, your relatives can be killed, no matter how much merit you make, it is only a moment, and the national interests of the world do not care about personal life or death after all...... Only those in power can decide the fate of everyone, and this person is Zhu Yuanzhang himself......

But for some reason in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't get down for a long time, and in front of Lu Jing, he hesitated, and he didn't draw his knife from beginning to end......

"Whew-" With a slight sound of the scabbard, Zhu Yuanzhang finally withdrew the knife and gave up his murderous intentions......

Lu Jing slowly opened her eyes, she was ready to die just now, but this time she was suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang's withdrawal......

"You are a smart person, but this time you are smart...... Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his sneer and said slightly, "I never said I wanted to kill you...... As I said, I have called you here to discuss the strategy of Luoyang...... You don't joke, do everything you can ......"

In the sadness, Lu Jing's eyes were slightly surprised, although she didn't know why, she understood that Zhu Yuanzhang at this time had no intention of killing for the time being...... (To be continued.) )
