Lao Jianhua looked at Xie Guang, carefully observing every subtle change in his expression. After a long time, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, please come out."
Following the words, a handsome and upright young man slowly walked out from behind the screen on the side of the conference hall.
The young man came to Lao Jianhua's side and nodded slightly to Xie Guang: "Hello, Master Taifu."
Xie Guang saw clearly who was coming, and instantly showed an expression of disbelief, wondering: "Di Xian, why is it you?!"
Di Xian, who was dressed in royal attire and dressed like a prince, smiled and said: "Master, please forgive me. I never had the chance to tell you that Di Xian is just a pseudonym. My real name is Li Zhang."
"Li Zheng?" Xie Guang was slightly stunned and shouted angrily: "Who are you?"
Di Xian puffed up his chest and said proudly: "My mother's family is the Di family of Qiantang, a famous family in Jiangzuo. My maternal grandfather is the elder of the three dynasties - the great Situ Di Junru. I also have an uncle who was famous all over the world. Lao Zishang, the commander-in-chief of the Red Blood Army and the Marquis of Zhenping County! Master, who do you think I am?"
Xie Guang was stunned when he heard this: "You...are you the King of Jin..."
"That's right," Di Xian said calmly: "My father is Li Chengxing, the flying general king who bravely champions the three armies. I am the direct descendant of the royal family of the Holy Tang Dynasty and the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, Li Yan!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Xie Guang stood up suddenly and said angrily: "More than twenty years ago, the King of Jin rebelled and ended up with everyone being executed. Whether it was the prince's palace or the Jinyang fiefdom, including the Di family in Jiangnan, The Lao family was all killed, how could you slip through the net? What prince of Jin, you are talking nonsense!"
Lao Jianhua said calmly from the side: "There is nothing surprising about this. Twenty-five years ago, Lao was still serving in the Nilin Division of Beiya, and at that time he happened to be involved in the case of King Jin and the Red Blood Army. I have gone through many difficulties. He risked his life and replaced the infant Crown Prince with another child, thus preserving the bloodline of the King of Jin and living up to the entrustment of Commander-in-Chief Lao Da."
Hearing this, Xie Guang suddenly realized: "So you are an undercover agent sent by Lao Zishang to Nilin Division! No wonder..."
Lao Jianhua nodded: "Commander Lao is not only my savior, but also my adoptive father, and also my mentor. If it weren't for him, I would have died decades ago. Over the years, Lao worked hard and exhausted all his energy in order to one day assist the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne of God and avenge the elders and relatives who died tragically that year. And you, Sir Xie Guangxie, are also one of our goals."
Xie Guang was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. That's right, when it comes to this relationship, you should really take revenge on Xie."
Then, he turned to Di Xian: "Did Lao Jianhua tell you? When King Jin rebelled, I was still a small fourth-rank captain in the Xuanjia Army. Lao Zishang and Li Chengxing wanted to stop Xuanjia King Qin of the Legion suppressed the rebellion and sent people to assassinate him, severely injuring the then commander-in-chief of the Xuanjia Army. Not only did we become leaderless, but internal strife almost broke out. Fortunately, He Jingming arrived with his troops in time and drove King Jin and his group out of the imperial capital. , and gathered troops from all walks of life, and finally successfully put down the rebellion. After the war, Xie was promoted to commander of the Xuanjia Army due to his meritorious service, and was ordered to wipe out the remnants of the rebel party. Didn't you say that your grandfather was Di Junru? Ha, they The Di family was wiped out by me myself!"
Di Xian smiled faintly: "How can I dare to forget such a connection?"
Xie Guang had already guessed that he would react like this, and said proudly: "You have known for a long time, that's great. You can tolerate it by my side for so long, and still be loyal and make no mistakes. It's quite impressive." . Since your identity has been revealed today, you must be trying to collect debts? But I don’t know what methods you, the so-called prince, who has a shady background, can use?"
Di Xian looked at Lao Jianhua after hearing this, and Lao Jianhua smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, since the Grand Tutor is willing to condescend to inquire, you might as well talk to him. After all, most of the overall plan came from you. I was just assisting with the idea. I told Tai Fu about it and asked him to help me with the details."
"Okay, Master, that disciple has made a fool of himself." Di Xian looked calm and turned to Xie Guang to talk: "Master Taifu, I have been with you for many years, and my overall feeling is that as a general of the imperial court, you are better at tactics, and It’s really a shame to be weaker than strategy.”
Xie Guang snorted coldly and did not answer.
Di Xian smiled and continued: "As far as the current Xuanjia Army is concerned, the situation is extremely bad. It has strong troops and is in the Central Plains, but it is in a dangerous situation where it is surrounded by enemies from both sides. No matter where it is, we are others. Isn’t it ridiculous that we should attack first?”
"Isn't all this a good thing that you did?!" Xie Guang finally couldn't bear it any longer: "You two bastards are working together and making mistakes for me!".
Di Xian smiled nonchalantly and said: "You are absolutely right. This is indeed a situation we deliberately created specially. Our first step has a very simple idea and a very clear goal, which is to use you and Li Bing , disturbing the peace of the entire Shengtang! But then again, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, don’t you have any brains? Why do you obey Master and me? So, you are stronger than tactics and weaker than strategy. event!"
He did not wait for Xie Guang to retort, and continued: "Looking at the situation in the world, it is not completely impossible for us to win. The key lies in the eight words 'The golden cicada escapes from its shell and watches from the other side.' As long as we can do these two things, we will finally have the chance to win the world." Will fall into your hands! Specifically, it means resolutely abandoning the eastern capital Luoyi, sending troops south, and occupying the Jiangnan area. First, you can avoid the attacks of the Turks and Li Bing as soon as possible and leave the hot potato of the Central Plains to them. Secondly, Jiangnan has been a prosperous land of fish and rice since ancient times, with a developed economy and a large population. As long as it is managed properly for two or three years, it can accumulate considerable power. By that time, the Turks and Li Bing have also lost both sides in the fight, and everywhere north of the Yangtze River With the flames of war and chaos, I will take advantage of the situation and lead my army to the northern expedition to reap all the benefits!"
"Ridiculous!" Xie Guang stroked his beard and looked up to the sky with a laugh: "You actually dare to ridicule me for my improper strategy? I think you are just whimsical! The south of the Yangtze River is indeed rich, but except for the rivers and water networks, there is no danger. Shou, what's the use of you going there? You can't take it even if you want!"
Di Xian smiled calmly and said: "What a great river and water network! As long as I have thousands of warships and 80,000 naval troops in my hands, I should be able to defend it impregnably!"
Xie Guang was stunned: "You...what did you say?"
"Master, I remember that Taifu Xie once said that there are three people in the Shengtang Army who have always been a serious problem for him," Di Xian turned to Lao Jianhua and said, "He Jingming, Xu Lie and Bao Yuchun. He Jingming died in In Liangzhou, Mr. Xu died in the imperial capital, and now only the Navy Commander is left."
Lao Jianhua smiled meaningfully: "It's a coincidence that Governor Bao and I have been good friends for many years."
Di Xianhaha said happily: "Master, you are still awesome. It seems that my disciple doesn't need to put in any effort at all. Half of the world has already fallen into the bag."
Xie Guang came to his senses and said angrily: "So you guys colluded with Bao Yuchun! No wonder you want to settle down in Jiangnan!"
Lao Jianhua seemed very happy: "Bao Yuchun has been running the south for many years and has deep roots. The navy under his command has the ability to completely block all major water systems in Shengtang. Moreover, the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River have deep feelings and close relations with the Di family in Qiantang. The prince is revolting there. , if you can get the strongest support, why worry about failing to achieve your great cause?"
Xie Guang was silent for a moment, then snorted unwillingly: "That's a good idea! Do you think the road to Jiangnan is easy? Don't forget, as you just said, there are enemies on all sides now! Let's go from Luoyi Jiangnan, to the east and south are Li Bing's troops. Don't even think about going there! And the most direct route, the southeast, is the territory of Huaiyang King Li Kuang. Do you think he will let you hide in Jiangnan easily? ?”
He glared at Lao Jianhua fiercely and continued: "If we have to fight all the way to get across, even if we reach Jiangnan, there will only be exhausted remnants of soldiers. What future can we have?"
After saying that, Xie Guang looked at Di Xian fiercely again, with a mocking smile on his face.
After hearing this, Di Xian couldn't hide his panic. He quickly turned to ask Lao Jianhua next to him: "Master, what he said makes sense. King Huaiyang's territory is blocking it. What should we do?"
Lao Jianhua smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, why did you forget? King Huaiyang's army will make way for us. Didn't you personally arrange this plan?"
Di Xian slapped his forehead: "Oh, yes, yes, haha, look at my memory, I actually forgot. Isn't this why I sent Xie Bao to send troops today?"
Xie Guang saw that Di Xian was deliberately acting to tease him, and couldn't help but feel angry. He said angrily: "That's enough! You two bastards, one old and one young, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
He gathered his power with both palms and shouted loudly: "Believe it or not? Within twenty moves, you will be dismembered!"
Lao Jianhua still didn't move at all: "Xie Guang, I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts and once topped the school military examination. But unfortunately, your opponent today is not the Crown Prince and Lao, but them."
After saying that, he gently clapped his palms.
The door of the conference hall opened slowly, and three men in black with strange movements walked in from the outside.
Lao Jianhua couldn't help but smile strangely: "Master, you must have noticed that there are no generals or generals in the meeting hall today. Although we have controlled the entire Xuanjia Army, we still need to let the soldiers take up arms. Dealing with you, I'm afraid someone may have changed on the spot due to psychological habits. Therefore, I specially found three guys and asked them to accompany you on the road to hell."
Following the words, the three men in black slowly took off their hoods.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and there was no lamp in the room. However, Xie Guang's skill was profound and his vision was not affected at all. He looked at the three people carefully and couldn't help but take a breath: "Fuck! What is this? monster?!"
"They are called Poison Soldiers." Lao Jianhua introduced patiently: "I don't know if they will catch the eye of the Grand Tutor."
Xie Guang cursed angrily: "Asshole! I'll kill you first!"
As he spoke, he jumped up and rushed towards Lao Jianhua in the air.
With a sneer on his face, Lao Jianhua and Di Xian retreated at the same time, shouting: "Kill him!"
The terrifying-looking poison soldiers received the order, roared wildly, and rushed forward together.
