Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiankang, Wuyi Lane, the main forum of the mafia.
The giant butter candle burned silently, illuminating the masks of each mafia leader, while violent coughing sounds kept coming from Xuanwu's mouth, echoing in the empty hall.
Bai Hu frowned, "Master Xuanwu, what's wrong with you? What kind of illness can last for so long?"
Xuanwu raised his head, wiped the phlegm on his long beard with a silk handkerchief, and threw it into a jade pot at hand. The handkerchief inside had accumulated several inches of thickness, and some of the handkerchiefs could even be seen. With bloodshot eyes on his face, he breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed, "It's probably because my lifespan is up."
Suzaku opened his eyes wide, "No way. You have always been strong and focused on health. How could your life expectancy have expired? I think you are just suffering from the cold due to recent troubles. You should go back to Shining Mountain Residence to recuperate." Bar."
Xuanwu coughed violently again, but stared at Qinglong closely, his eyes shining.
The corner of Qinglong's mouth curled up, "What are you looking at me like this? You are also a master of elixirs. Has anyone added anything to your diet and medicine? Don't you know it? Poisoning, I will not deal with Huan Chong." Okay, it’s impossible to deal with you. Besides, I’ve never used this trick on you before. Now that you’ve handed over power and gone into seclusion, do I need this?”
Xuanwu gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "I didn't say you were poisoned, but this was all your design. I am in this situation today, and you are my number one enemy!"
Qinglong smiled slightly, "Why do the four major mafia families of ours hate each other so much every time something happens to someone? After decades of grievances and grievances in this life, no one has hurt anyone, and no one has betrayed anyone? Xuanwu, you too It’s the same, because you failed this time, you can’t afford to lose?”
Xuanwu sighed, shook his head, and his eyes became lonely, "I don't pity myself, but I pity the world of Jin Dynasty. The opportunity that was so good to regain the country was ruined in your hands. My life in the past few decades has been ruined. All the hard work and hard work going to waste is all thanks to you, especially you, Master Qinglong!"
Qinglong said gloomily, "The world of Da Jin is not our world. In the final analysis, our mafia protects Da Jin by protecting our family. Aren't you the same? These are clichés. It's boring to talk about them. Let's talk about the current times. The game is the most important thing.”
Xuanwu frowned, "The war in Guanzhong has come to an end. The former Qin was destroyed. Quan Yi and other officials surrendered to Qin Yao and Qiang. The Xi Yan army that occupied Chang'an burned, killed, and looted, and then the whole army headed east. But I heard It was said that just the day before yesterday, Shangshu ordered Gao Gai's troops to go north to attack Yao Chang in Xinping. What is going on?"
Baihu smiled and said, "Because the Xiyan army is short of food now, and Yao Chang has plenty of food and grass. It turned out that Yao Chang promised to send the Xiyan army one million stones of food on the road, but later he went back on his word. He was arrogant and took the initiative to lead the army to attack. Yao Chang wants to grab grain. It is also to accumulate merit for himself, and later he wants to surpass Murong Yong and become the master of Xiyan."
Xuanwu said softly "Oh" "Since Yang Ding surrendered to Gaogai and became his adopted son, the Xiyan army has gained a tiger general and is invincible. According to common sense, Yao Chang's Qiang soldiers are no match, but I always I feel that Gao Gai has little chance of winning if he attacks at this time. In order to deal with Fu Qin, the various tribes of Xiyan sometimes unite together for collective rebellion. Now that they have lost a common enemy, most people want to return to Guandong. As for Guanzhong, they don’t want to stay for a day. Gao Gao If Gai sends his own troops to attack, it would be easy to fall into the trap, maybe..."
Suzaku smiled and said, "Lord Xuanwu, are you trying to say that maybe this was a conspiracy from the beginning? Does Murong Yong want to use this to get rid of Gao Gai?"
Xuanwu clicked on the ice dragon, "My guess is not wrong. There will be a new power struggle within Xiyan. Gao Gai killed his master twice, and there is a strong man like Yang Ding. Anyone who wants to be in power will not be willing to accept it." Yes, he may have attacked Hou Qin to establish his authority, but haste makes waste. If he strives for war, the internal enemies behind his back are up to no good, and failure is inevitable."
At this point, he paused and sneered, "Just like you three are at the rear, how can I win the battle at the front?"
Qinglong laughed and waved his hand, "It is said that Anshi's magnanimity is as broad as the river and the sea, but in my opinion, he is still grudge. He has never forgotten this matter. Why bother? Shouldn't we let go of our grudges and forget them with a smile? Are you angry?!"
Xuanwu said angrily, "I have nothing to do with you. So, Gao Gai lost?"
Bai Hu nodded, "Your analysis is correct. Before our meeting this time, I just received a military report. As soon as Gao Gai arrived in Xinping, Yang Ding, who was stationed in the front army at night, rebelled and led the Qin army to attack Gao Gai's camp. The main camp of the Chinese army was unprepared. Overnight, the army was defeated like a mountain. He himself did not dare to return to the Xiyan camp, but surrendered to Yao Chang. After hearing the news, other departments of the Xiyan army immediately surrendered to Gao Chang. Gai's deputy, Shang Shu Pu She Murong Heng, and the general Murong Yong led the attack and killed the Yan Lord Duan Sui, who Gao Gai had supported with one hand, and established the brother of the general Murong Feng who was under Murong Chui, the former Yan State Yidu. Murong Kai, son of Wang Murong Huan, is the lord of Xi Yan, and his entire army of hundreds of thousands of people has crossed the Yellow River and entered Bingzhou."
Xuanwu sneered and said, "This is obviously the conspiracy of Murong Yong and the others. Yang Ding is Fu Jian's son-in-law and a former Qin general. He also gave Gao Gai an adopted son. He is brave but not resourceful. As long as he is provoked, he can turn back the old ones." Lord, Murong Yong probably knew that Yang Ding was from Di and wanted to return to Qiuchi and would not go to Guandong with them, so he instigated Yang Ding to rebel and defeat Gao Gai."
Suzaku smiled and said, "But Yao Chang is also an old treacherous man who is well versed in conspiracies. Couldn't it be Yang Ding who he bribed? Does it have to be Murong Yong?"
Qinglong shook his head, "Gaogai sent troops in front, and the other Xiyan tribes stood still. As soon as Gaogai died, he immediately killed Duan Sui, the leader of Yan whom he supported. This was not an accident. It was obviously planned for a long time, or Yao Chang had already There was collusion with Murong Heng and Murong Yong, or Murong Yong and the others set up a plan to lure Gao Gai into a trap, and then both sides took action at the same time. As for the newly established puppet Murong Kai, it was also because Murong Heng and Murong Yong were now restraining each other. No one wants the other party to take power and choose a puppet to take over. This person is Murong Feng's brother and he also wants to take the opportunity to negotiate peace with Murong Chui."
Xuanwu sighed, "Qinglong, your knowledge has always been outstanding among the four of us, but it's a pity that you can't use it in the right way. After I die, I hope you can put these skills to good use in serving the country and serving the Jin Dynasty."
Qinglong was smiling and nodding, but when he heard this, his expression changed, "What do you mean, you want to die?"
