Gao Jie coaxed Mrs. Xing again, and after she showed a smile, he asked softly: "Madam, if you think so, what should we do now?"
Mrs. Xing smiled coquettishly at Gao Jie and said sweetly: "Master, I am so confused right now, how can I think about those things."
"Besides, it was too cruel for you to throw the girl's body into the wilderness to save others from grief. You'd better find her back and bury her alive!"
Hearing this, Gao Jie shook his head and said: "Madam, you are too kind. Those slaves have committed a heinous crime by making you sad. How can you forgive them? Don't talk about this again. My husband will never agree."
Xing begged again politely, and after forcing Gao Jie to agree, he said, "Now that Shi Kefa is here, even if the master doesn't want to send troops, I'm afraid he will ask for troops to be sent to protect him!"
"Instead of waiting for him to speak, it is better for us to propose it ourselves. This way we can not only plan in advance and take the initiative, but also His Majesty will feel that we are more loyal than Shi Kefa when he learns about it."
"If the head of the family can get His Majesty's favor, with the talent of the head, then what's the point of a mere Li Ruolian!"
Hearing this, Gao Jie's face showed a ray of joy, and then he frowned and said: "Madam, now Guo Sheng has fled eastward, and Ma Chongxi promised to dedicate Jinan and other places to us as long as we take Liaocheng. How can we divide our troops at this time?" Woolen cloth?"
Mr. Xing shook his head and said, "Master, please don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly."
"First of all, sending troops to escort is definitely necessary, but when to do it is very important."
As she spoke, she deliberately stopped and glanced at Gao Jie and Li Chengdong. Seeing that they both looked forward to it, she continued: "We can first offer to send troops to escort him to win Shi Kefa's favor."
"Then he used the Liaocheng dispute as an excuse to ask Xie Sheng to send troops, but Xie Sheng didn't have many troops and would definitely not agree to this."
"With Shi Kefa's character, he will not force Xie Sheng. He will only adjust in two ways to achieve both ends. In the end, he will definitely let us negotiate among the three parties. At that time, we will take the opportunity to get rid of Xie Sheng and others, and use his troops to advance to Jinan. .”
"If Ma Chongxi keeps his promise, we will let him live. If he betrays his promise, we will attack the city head-on. At the same time, we will order Hu Maozhen who is lurking in Zhangqiu to capture Linzi and other places, which will definitely make Ma Chongxi surrender."
Hearing this, Gao Jie said with some confusion: "Madam, I wanted to kill Xie Sheng before. You said doing this would cause trouble. Why are you doing this now?"
Mr. Xing shook his head and said, "It's not that we want to kill Xie Sheng, it's that Your Majesty Xie wants to kill us. We are just fighting back!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty?"
Gao Jie was a little surprised and said: "He has such courage?"
Mr. Xing smiled proudly and said, "He doesn't have the courage, but one of his concubines does, so he has it."
Hearing this, Gao Jie immediately understood and praised repeatedly: "Madam is indeed amazing, I am so willing to give in to my husband..."
When Li Chengdong saw this, he was not willing to lag behind and took the opportunity to praise the Xing family.
Xing Zhi looked at the two men in front of him proudly, smiling like a flower.
Just when the three of them were feeling proud, a guard came in with a panic look on his face and reported that Linzi had been captured by Ming soldiers.
Gao Jie looked surprised and said: "How is this possible? Except for Ma Jinzhong in eastern Shandong, Lu Jiude and Lu Zhenfei are all incompetent people. It would be good if they can hold the defense line. How can they capture Linzi from Guo Sheng's hands?"
As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Xing with some confusion.
Xing stepped forward slowly, took the secret message from the guard, glanced at it quickly, and said solemnly: "Master, according to Hu Maozhen, it was Zhang Youcai's troops who captured Linzi."
Hearing this, Gao Jie shook his head repeatedly and said: "If it is Ma Jinzhong, it is possible, but if it is Zhang Youcai, it is absolutely impossible. Is it because Hu Maozhen was cowardly and made up such a lie?"
Mrs. Xing glanced at the secret letter again, signaled the guards to retreat, and said solemnly: "Hu Maozhen has always been loyal to us, and he should not deceive us."
"And he said in the letter that the person commanding the battle was not Zhang Youcai, but a young man named Zhang Huangyan..."
As she spoke, she stopped and recited "Zhang Huangyan" several times in succession, and suddenly said: "I remembered that Zhang Huangyan was the person who broke into Lu Jiude's camp alone and forced Lu Jiude to go north to King Qin."
"He later went to sea with Liu Wenbing and Zheng Sen to attack the Jurchens. How could he appear in Linzi now?"
When Gao Jie heard what Xing said, he also remembered the matter and asked with some worry: "Is Liu Wenbing already back?"
Mr. Xing was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Liu Wenbing has not come back. I'm afraid His Majesty has arrived in Linzi!"
"Chongzhen is in Linzi?"
Gao Jie heard this and exclaimed.
Mr. Xing nodded and said: "This is very possible. I thought your Majesty was still in Liaodong because the Jurchen soldiers had not retreated. Now it seems that your Majesty probably came upstream to Shandong after defeating the Jurchen Navy."
Gao Jie saw that Mr. Xing was so confident and said with a worried look on his face: "If Chongzhen really comes, I'm afraid our plan will come to nothing!"
Mr. Xing smiled coldly and said, "No, this is our opportunity. Since Your Majesty has come to Shandong and is using Zhang Youcai's troops, it means they don't have many people on this trip."
"As for the strength of Nanbing, we all know it, but with His Majesty's talent, it shouldn't be a problem to use Nanbing to block Guo Sheng."
"If Guo Sheng cannot come back, Ma Chongxi will be a trapped beast, and the military morale in Jinan City will definitely be unstable."
"So while dealing with Xie Sheng, we have to send people to sneak into Jinan and lobby Ma Chongxi and his generals. Then the army will press on the border and we will be able to force Ma Chongxi to surrender."
"After we capture Jinan, we can disguise ourselves as Xie Sheng's troops and capture Linzi, and then Shandong will be ours."
Gao Jie was a little worried and said: "But...Madam, if Chongzhen is in Shandong, what if he accidentally...?"
Mrs. Xing rolled her eyes at Gao Jie and said coquettishly: "Master, it's Xie Sheng's people who attacked Linzi. What do you have to worry about?"
Seeing that Mrs. Xing seemed to be showing contempt, Gao Jie forced himself to be calm and said: "What Madam said is true, but I have another worry, that is, the distance from Linzi to Jinan is about the same as ours. If they attack Jinan first, what will we do?" 33
Mr. Xing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty attacked Linzi with the intention of relieving Weifang's difficulties. And judging from your previous story, although Your Majesty is good at fighting, he never takes risks and will never attack Jinan before defeating Guo Sheng."
"So our top priority is to get rid of Xie Sheng and others, and at the same time..."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Chengdong and said, "Old Li, I have something I want you to do. I wonder if you dare?"
Although Li Chengdong was unwilling in his heart, he said with a bold face: "Sister-in-law, no matter what you order, even if you go up the mountain of knives or go down into the sea of fire, Lao Li will never frown."
Mr. Xing smiled and said, "It's not that dangerous. It just requires you to kill a few, maybe dozens of people!"
When Li Chengdong heard that it was just a murder, he immediately said with a relaxed expression: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Lao Li promises to bring back the heads one by one."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xing smiled even brighter and said approvingly: "Okay, my sister-in-law is relieved to have you say this!"
"You go back and bring 3,000 men disguised as Xie Sheng's soldiers and horses to guard the main road from Shandong to Hebei and Henan. If you find His Majesty's people passing by, you will kill them, but be careful, you must leave alive. Report."
"The person who killed His Majesty?"
Li Chengdong said in a panic: "Sister-in-law, if Your Majesty finds out about this, wouldn't we be in a lot of trouble?"
Xingshi smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, that's why I asked you to disguise yourself as Xie Sheng's person."
"As long as you accomplish this, we can use this as an excuse to drive out Xie Sheng and others. If they die without any evidence, you have nothing to worry about!"
Li Chengdong looked at Mr. Xing who looked harmless, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, but he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Then Xing asked Gao Jie to act according to the plan, only to wait for Xie Sheng and others to fall into the trap.
Some people died, but not completely...
