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 just caught a cold due to the recent troubles, so go back to Shining Mountain to recuperate. Just take a moment."
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. Is there anyone who has added something to your diet and medicine? Don't you know it? Poisoning, I will deal with Huan Chong It’s okay, it’s impossible to deal with you. Besides, I haven’t used this trick on you before. Now that you have 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 our four major mafia families hate each other so much every time something happens to someone? In this life, we have been grudges for decades, and no one has hurt anyone, and no one has betrayed anyone? Xuanwu, yourself It’s the same thing, 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. I have spent these decades. All my hard work has gone to waste, and it’s all thanks to you, especially you, Master Qinglong!”
Qinglong said grimly: "The world of Da Jin is not our world. Our mafia protects Da Jin in the final analysis, but we still protect our family. Isn't this the same for you? It's boring to talk about these clichés. Let's talk about the current situation. The current situation is the most important.”
Xuanwu frowned: "The war in Guanzhong has come to an end. The former Qin was destroyed, Quan Yi and other officials surrendered to Qin Yaoqiang, and the Xiyan army that occupied Chang'an, after burning, killing and looting, the whole army headed east, but we I heard that just the day before yesterday, the minister ordered Gao Gai's troops to go north to attack Yao Chang in Xinping. What's going on?"
Baihu said with a smile: "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 shi of food on the road, but later he went back on his word. He was arrogant and took the initiative to lead the army. Attacking Yao Chang, I want to grab grain. I also want to accumulate merit for myself, and I want to surpass Murong Yong and become the master of Xiyan in the future."
Xuanwu softly said "Oh": "After Yang Ding surrendered to Gaogai and became his adopted son, the Xiyan army gained a tiger general and was invincible. According to common sense, Yao Chang's Qiang soldiers are no match, but we I always 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 Gai sends troops to attack on his own, it is easy to fall into the trap, maybe..."
Suzaku smiled and said: "Master Xuanwu wants to say that maybe this is a conspiracy from the beginning? Does Murong Yong want to use this to get rid of Gao Gai?"
Xuanwu nodded at the ice dragon: "My guess is not wrong. There will be a new power struggle within Xiyan. Gao Gai killed his lord twice, and there is a strong general like Yang Ding. Anyone who wants to rise to power will not be able to do so." He is willing to attack the Later Qin Dynasty to establish his prestige, but haste makes waste in everything, fighting for war, internal enemies behind the scenes 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 still holds a grudge against him. He has never forgotten this matter. Why bother? Shouldn't we let go of our grudges and laugh them away? Is it a grudge?!”
Xuanwu said angrily: "I have nothing to do with you. So, Gao Gai lost?"
Bai Hu nodded: "Your analysis is very good. Before our meeting this time, I just received a military report. As soon as Gao Gai arrived in Xinping, Yang Ding, who stationed the front army at night, rebelled and led the Qin army to attack Gao Gai directly. The main camp of the Chinese army was too high to defend. 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 Yao Chang. Gao Gai's deputy, Shang Shu Pu She Murong Heng, and the general Murong Yong led the attack and killed the Yan Lord Duan Sui, whom Gao Gai had supported with one hand, and killed the general Murong Feng's brother, the former Yan Guoyi Murong Kai, the son of the capital king Murong Huan, is the lord of Xiyan, 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 wise. As long as he is provoked, he can backfire. The old master, Murong Yong, probably knew that Yang Ding was from Di, wanted to return to Qiuchi, and would not go to Guandong with them, so he instigated Yang Ding to rebel and break 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 They had colluded with Murong Heng and Murong Yong for a long time, or Murong Yong and the others had devised a plan to lure Gao Gai into a trap, and then both sides acted 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?"
