Seeing Yu Yunjun stunned, Pei Ziyun stretched his clothes, chuckled and said, "But this is just a pawn crossing the river, serving as a medicine guide."
“There is a huge boost that automatically helps.”
Yu Yunjun looked at Pei Ziyun with doubts in his eyes. The setting sun shone in, and it was a fiery red. Seeing that Yu Yunjun was still confused, Pei Ziyun said lightly: "Actually, the Marquis of Jibei has a chance to become a dragon."
"I didn't just think of it today."
"If I were the Marquis of Jibei, I would have announced on the day of the uprising that the uprising was initiated under the orders of King Lu. King Lu has always been ambitious. If some actions are not investigated, they will be full of holes."
"The Marquis of Jibei said this, the court must investigate clearly, right?"
"After checking, there are indeed traces of betrayal. The prince will not let it go, and neither will the ministers. The best result is to cut him off. This time it is not as simple as turning him into a county king, but turning him into a commoner or even imprisoning him." .”
"King Lu is very angry. How can he accept such a result? In all likelihood, he will have to swallow this bitter pill and formally launch an army!"
"The south and the north are in trouble at the same time. King Lu still has some status. What will happen to the world?"
"That's why I said that the Marquis of Jibei has a chance to become a dragon." Pei Ziyun said calmly. Lord Yu Yun felt dizzy after hearing this, and he only felt that the calculation was so deep that it was shocking.
"Xie Chengdong and King Lu killed me many times. If I was really motivated by personal vendetta, I could have warned the Marquis of Jibei with a letter and directly pulled King Lu onto the pirate ship."
"This will definitely cause chaos in the world, but whether it is King Lu or the Marquis of Jibei, although Jackie Chan has a chance, it is not much. Nine times out of ten, he will be defeated, and I will take revenge."
"But I can't do this for my own personal vendetta."
"Although looking at this situation, it is only a matter of time before King Lu rebels, but I cannot start this situation."
"I don't want Xie Chengdong and Prince Lu to take advantage of it and attack my mother. This is a crime of their own doing and they will not survive."
"Just watch. I expect that within a few days, the Marquis of Jibei will announce that he has raised an army in response to King Lu's order. It will then depend on how the court handles it."
With that said, Pei Ziyun picked up the tea and took a sip.
Yu Yunjun looked at Pei Ziyun in shock, as if he heard the sound of killing. Pei Ziyun was so fierce, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
“Can a person’s talent reach this far?”
“It’s really been a turnaround.”
Qibei County Military Camp
A wave of offensive retreated like a wave. Looking from the city, the entire city was densely covered with troops with flags waving. Although they had been attacking for half a month and suffered a lot of losses, the Chinese army still stood firm and motionless. It was obvious that their morale was not exhausted. Go, there is still fighting power.
The sun was setting in the sky, bringing with it some morning glow and some smoke rising from the kitchen. In the large tent of the military camp, the Marquis of Jibei was furious.
"What, Zhao Yuan was also defeated?" The Marquis of Jibei was pacing in the tent, with murderous intent in his eyes. The city has not been captured these days, and the consumption of food and grass is huge. What's even more abominable is that Pei Ziyun continues to defeat each place, step by step. Loss, a sense of pressure and urgency kept coming to Jibei Hou.
Marquis Jibei's eyes were bloodshot and his hair was streaked with white threads. Uneasiness was eating away at Marquis Jibei's heart.
"Hey!" The Marquis of Jibei was still about to get angry, but a burst of fatigue came over him. He couldn't help but lean on the chair and let out a long breath. His energy seemed to have been lost, and he said, "Mr. Shen, you did it in Gongba Island." The matter is very much to my liking, so I have to plan for a rainy day."
"If I are defeated, people will be in panic. Even if San'er wants to take the throne, no one will respond. Now that he has taken the position in advance, he can at least appease people's hearts and it can be regarded as a way out."
"Actually, you don't have to rush back. You can just help San'er with peace of mind."
"My lord, I dare not take orders from you. I was originally a down-and-out scholar. It was my lord who promoted me and praised me. A scholar dies for his confidant. I work for the Third Young Master. I only fulfill my duties under the orders of my lord. But there is no such thing." I am loyal, and it is my duty to be here." Shen Zhi stood to one side and said calmly.
After Wei Ang took office as Marquis of Jibei, he saw that the situation was stable, so he returned to the Marquis of Jibei to report. At this time, he said this, which showed that he wanted to be loyal here.
After hearing this, the Marquis of Jibei lost all his dissatisfaction and sighed: "Mr. Shen, I know your heart. Sit down. What solution do you have to this situation?"
Shen Zhi listened to the sigh of the Marquis of Jibei, and his body froze. With Pei Ziyun pressing every step of the way, he had no good way to do it. He could either attack the city, or kill Pei Ziyun to make them leaderless. When they fell, they would be able to break through, but now Neither of these two things can be done.
Shen Zhi looked at the information, remembered something, let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, I now believe in the idea of luck. Only luck can cause you to be intoxicated."
"God actually gave us a chance, but we didn't seize it, but it's not too late now." Shen Zhi said.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Jibei looked at Shen Zhi, his eyes lit up and his face flushed: "Mr. Shen, if you have any chance, please tell me quickly!"
The Marquis of Jibei stood up straight at this time and stared at Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi took the case file up and pointed at it: "My lord, look, the county magistrate wrote a letter accusing King Lu of colluding with us to assassinate Pei Ziyun."
"So what if there is such an accusation?" When the Marquis of Jibei heard what was going on, he sighed: "Prince Lu is very cunning. There is contact with me but no collusion. You also know this situation."
"Lord, what you said is wrong!" Shen Zhi raised his head and looked up, but was startled. He saw the frown of the Marquis of Jibei, which was full of frost and sadness. He looked like just an old man, and it seemed that he couldn't see him at all. The wise and mighty warriors of the past.
Shen Zhi couldn't help but sigh, seeing that the Marquis of Jibei hadn't woken up yet, and said, "But there is such a tacit understanding of cooperation, who wouldn't believe it? Even if we deny it, I'm afraid some people will believe it."
"Whether it is true or false is not the key. The key is whether people believe it or not."
"You think, if we had an uprising that day, we would have said that we were ordered by King Lu to clear the king's side."
"Prince Lu has always been ambitious, forming cliques for personal gain, secretly amassing armies, and recruiting dead soldiers. Once investigated, he is full of accusations. How do you think the court will view Prince Lu?"
"Hey, if this is the case, King Lu has only one way to go, and that is to join us in rebellion." Before he finished speaking, the Marquis of Jibei realized the truth with horror, and stood up in excitement: "You are absolutely right, Why didn’t I think of this level at the time?”
Suddenly I felt very upset.
"Yes, King Lu has rebelled for a long time. How could he just take him as a prisoner and explain to the court? He must be rebelling."
"One north and one south rebel at the same time. This is a real opportunity given to us by God. When the world is in chaos, are we the only two who want to rebel? Maybe there are heroes vying for victory, and the Marquis is the first to raise troops and seize the opportunity. , there is an opportunity.”
"It's a pity that we were so obsessed with Qi at the time that we never thought of it. We only reacted when this happened, but it's not too late now."
"You are right. We know that King Lu has not colluded with us, but the people in the world don't know, and the court doesn't know either." The Marquis of Jibei took a few steps and regained his composure: "We have to start at this point."
Shen Zhi nodded: "So as long as we forge evidence and say that our rebellion was ordered by King Lu, I am afraid that at least half of the people in the world will believe it."
"The most important thing is that King Lu is ambitious and has too many traces to withstand investigation, so it doesn't matter even if everyone in the world doesn't believe him. Once the court sends people to investigate, King Lu will have to rebel."
"By forcing King Lu to rebel, we will have time to breathe."
The Marquis of Jibei took a few steps, with a flush on his face, and said: "King Lu has been in power for many years. He has a lot of handwriting. It is not difficult to forge it. You immediately organize the clerks and create a batch of letters based on the inside information. It will definitely make people famous." Let the world see King Lu’s grace.”
Having said this, the Marquis of Jibei laughed, and suddenly felt the pressure lightened, and his wrinkles relaxed.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will handle this matter without leakage." Shen Zhi bowed and said.
Duzhou
The weather is gradually getting warmer, peach blossoms are in full bloom, and pear trees are also blooming with white flowers. Some bees and butterflies are flying around the flowers. The river is sparkling. An official ship hits the water and waves rush to both banks.
There are many flags on the official ship, and the governor is standing on the top of the ship building. There are tables and chairs here, and a maid is boiling tea, making a boiling sound.
Looking around, you can see the high mountains and green water on both sides of the river bank, the cliffs are steep, the boulders are as sharp as a knife, and birds are flying by.
Governor Duzhou stood up and said, "It's such a beautiful spring scene."
He took a breath and asked again: "Has the food been delivered recently?"
An official bowed: "Sir, five thousand stones have been transported up."
He added: "As the lost territory continues to be regained, the situation in Yingzhou is gradually becoming more peaceful. Although a lot of money and food have been spent, everyone feels more at ease - look at this!"
The governor followed the point and saw a fishing boat not far from the river. The fishermen pulled up the fishing net. A water bird seized the opportunity and landed and took a fish away.
The shore was full of peach blossoms, and a young girl could be seen hidden in the peach blossom forest. Everything in front of him made the governor nod and smile: "The Great Xu has just established, and the world wants peace. How can a warrior like the Marquis of Jibei go against the will of the sky and be invincible?" ?”
Just as he was talking, a Taoist official arrived in a hurry and handed over a message: "Governor, there is an urgent message!"
"Get it!" The governor's heart sank a little, and he opened it and took a look. His face suddenly turned pale. He tried to move, but stumbled and fell heavily on the deck. Finally, he did not roll into the water. The officials turned pale with shock and hurriedly supported him and listened. The governor was still whispering: "Woe, woe, woe."
"Mr. Governor, what happened? Could it be that the imperial army was defeated?" the official asked. This official was also a fourth-rank official. After hearing this, the Governor handed over the document.
When the official picked it up and looked at it, his face turned pale and his hands trembled.
"The Marquis of Jibei announced the submission of the document, saying that the Duke of Ji was granted the title by King Lu, and agreed that one from the south and the other from the north would respond. He also cursed in the document, saying that I have been in rebellion for half a year, why haven't you responded? Are you bullying me?" After reading such a sentence, those who don't understand politics still don't know how powerful it is. This official is in charge of the granary of a province, so he has enough political acumen. He murmured for a while: "This Jibei Hou is so ambitious. , with sinister intentions, this is to force King Lu to rebel!"
"If King Lu rebels, then this situation will be really difficult to deal with."
