"Can you say that again!"
Liu Zongsheng looked at the person in front of him, his eyes widened, his chest heaved violently, and he roared quickly.
In the room without a window, the excitement on Liu Zongsheng's face was clearly visible.
Even Li Wenxiang and Li Benqian, father and son, also showed surprise and joy on their faces.
The visitor quickly repeated: "The news came back from the south that Zhu Yunxi is coming to Taiyuan Prefecture with officials from the Northern Patrol."
Liu Zongsheng took a step forward and asked: "Apart from Zhu Yunxi and the Northern Patrol officials, how many soldiers and horses are there? Why come to Taiyuan Mansion?"
The visitor lowered his head and said: "Except for the more than a thousand soldiers and horses on the northern patrol, there are only two guards and horses led by Marquis Jingchuan. They say they are going to escort Zhu Yunxi to Datong to discuss mutual trade with the Wala tribe outside the pass."
Liu Zongsheng's eyes widened, and his right thumb pressed heavily on the knuckle of his index finger.
Gradually, Liu Zongsheng was pacing back and forth in front of the Li family and his son.
After a long time, Liu Zongsheng raised his head and looked at the person coming: "Go down."
The father and son of the Li family did not react at all to his guest-centered approach. The visitor also bowed and slowly left the house.
Wait until the door is closed again.
Liu Zongsheng then turned around, looked at the Li family and his son, and said with a smile: "What a God-given opportunity!"
Li Wenxiang shook his head and said: "None of us thought that Zhu Yunxi would come to Shanxi Road. But the Taibao should know that the imperial court has already mobilized troops and horses to station around Shanxi Road. The soldiers and horses of the guards in the southern part of Shanxi Road have also received orders to go south. Shanxi."
The corner of Liu Zongsheng's mouth raised: "Mr. Li wants to say, this may be a trap set up by the imperial court?"
Li Wenxiang raised his head and looked at Liu Zongsheng: "Didn't the Taibao think so?"
Liu Zongsheng fell silent and walked back to his seat.
It is impossible for the imperial court to not be aware of it until now. Since the imperial court discovered the arrangement of the White Lotus Sect in Zhongdu Imperial City, and Zhu Yunwen was kidnapped, even if the imperial court did not know the truth for a while, it should have figured out the reason by now.
Li Wenxiang said: "In recent years, the money and treasures that Shanxi merchants have sent to Fengyang have been seized by the imperial court. The manpower deployed by the Taibao in Fengyang City was also brutally murdered by Zhu Yunxi.
This time Zhu Yunwen was investigating a river accident in Henan Province again. Weren't all the people in Anle Village taken to Luoyang City and executed?
Does the Taibao think that the court has not responded yet to what happened? "
Liu Zongsheng turned to look at Li Wenxiang.
The unfinished work of his father's generation has always been lingering in his heart, making it difficult for him to sleep every night.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and even supports offline reading.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court did not dare to act rashly. Catching Zhu Yunxi and holding it in our hands is far more valuable than that Zhu Yunwen! "
Crazy ideas kept popping up in Li Benqian's mind.
However, Li Wenxiang shook his head and said in denial: "If we only have the more than a thousand soldiers and horses of the Northern Patrol Team, we can make plans. But now that Zhu Yunxi has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Jingchuan Marquis beside him, it is really difficult to handle it."
Liu Zongsheng, who was sitting below, frowned slightly at this time, his eyebrows deep in thought.
Li Benqian said: "We know the opportunity if there is no chance! The news came back that Zhu Yunxi was going to the pass with his troops and horses to prepare for trade with the Oara tribe. Now that the New Year is approaching, there is no way he can still stay on the Great Wall. , brave the wind and snow, and wait until the snow melts in spring before the Oara people come over."
At this time, Liu Zongsheng raised his head and looked at the excited Li Benqian, and smiled slightly: "Master Li, you can tell me what you think."
Li Benqian turned sideways towards Liu Zongsheng, nodded and bent down: "I made the Taibao laugh. I just have some ideas, and I hope the Taibao can help me correct this."
Liu Zongsheng nodded: "Master Li, continue."
Li Benqian cast a grateful look at Liu Zongsheng.
Then he turned around and picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and finally continued: "Now it will be the New Year's Eve in three or two months. Even if Zhu Yunxi has never been to the Great Wall, he should know that by this time, the Great Wall will be covered with heavy snow.
People like Zhu Yunxi, who were born into a noble family and enjoy the glory and wealth, how could they endure the bitter cold at the border for several months?
In addition, there is the Jin Palace in Taiyuan City. If Zhu Yunxi is here, he will definitely choose to stay in the palace at this time. After the spring of next year, he will go to the border to negotiate with the Oara tribe. "
Liu Zongsheng's eyes flashed: "So, Mr. Li means..."
"As long as Zhu Yunxi enters Taiyuan City, we can make him unable to escape!" Li Benqian said in a deep voice, his face full of confidence.
He half-raised his arms, clenched his fists, and had a murderous look on his face.
Capture the grandson of the emperor who was the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he thought that he was about to accomplish this thing, Li Benqian felt his blood surge all over his body, and there was an impulse in his body that far surpassed all other things.
He said in a low voice: "As long as he enters the city and is captured by us, we can even seize the soldiers and horses under Marquis Jingchuan, and then completely control Taiyuan City and Shanxi Road!"
Li Benqian's tone was excited, and he looked around in front of Li Wenxiang and Liu Zongsheng. Then he looked at Liu Zongsheng steadily: "Liu Taibao, catch Zhu Yunxi! As long as you catch him, Taibao will be even more powerful. From now on, From now on, Taibao will be like a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky!"
Liu Zongsheng's eyes were downcast, thinking about Li Benqian's words.
But Li Wenxiang, who was sitting in front of the five-blessing screen at the main seat, said in a low voice: "But if Zhu Yunxi enters Shanxi this time and even makes a mistake, how should we deal with it?"
Li Benqian immediately turned around, looked at his father, bowed his hands and said: "Father, so we have to take action now! Bring all the people raised outside the city into Taiyuan City. The Taibao people must also enter the city as soon as possible .
At that time, whether this is Zhu Yunxi's fault or something else. As long as our people are in the city, we can act according to the original plan when the time comes, besiege the Jin Palace and capture Taiyuan City.
Then as long as we stick to the city and wait for our manpower from other places in Shanxi to arrive, we can attack the imperial troops inside and outside Taiyuan City! "
After he finished speaking, he swallowed, looked at his father who had been frowning and said nothing, and had no choice but to turn around and look at Liu Zongsheng.
Li Benqian smiled: "What do the Taibao think?"
Liu Zongsheng looked up at the young man in front of him, nodded, and said with a smile: "You can give it a try. Even if this is Zhu Yunxi's game, we can still make a game in Taiyuan City and wait for him to join the game."
He saw the desire for power and status in the young man's eyes.
Many years ago, Liu Zongsheng himself was just like Li Benqian now.
And such people are the easiest to provoke.
Liu Zongsheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said, "I wonder how many people Mr. Li and other families can gather in this Taiyuan city?"
Li Wenxiang was holding a blue and white tea cup in his hand, and the tea lid was gently wiped on the tea soup.
He did not drink tea, but just held the tea cup and looked at Liu Zongsheng with a smile on his face: "We and others can't compare with the number of saints under Taibao... the guardians of each family, the servants, and the guards of the caravan. "There are only five thousand people in the village outside the city."
Li Benqian looked at his father, his eyes flashed.
His lips moved slightly.
However, Li Wenxiang did not wait for his son to speak, and then continued: "I wonder how many people the Taibao can recruit into the city before Zhu Yunxi enters the city?"
"It will take about half a month for Zhu Yunxi to arrive at Taiyuan City." Liu Zongsheng tapped his fingers on the tea table beside him and turned his eyes: "Before this, the Holy Sect could have eight or nine thousand people entering the city."
Li Wenxiang frowned slightly: "Less than ten thousand people?"
Liu Zongsheng added: "As long as the news is spread now, after Zhu Yunxi enters the city, at least 10,000 people from the Holy Cult can arrive outside Taiyuan City."
Li Benqian, who had just been interrupted by his father, had an inexplicable look on his face. He looked at his father with deep eyes, silently closed his mouth, nodded and stood aside.
Li Wenxiang pondered and said slowly: "There are 10,000 troops in the city and more than 10,000 troops outside the city. If another Shanxi Road garrison surrenders, it will be enough to ensure that Taiyuan City will always be in our hands."
Liu Zongsheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, as long as the banner is raised here in Taiyuan City, the Holy Cult will be able to summon believers from all over the world before and after the New Year. And then we will distribute them in the mines in Shanxi Province Once the Japanese workers are released, they can gather an army of 100,000!"
Li Wenxiang nodded silently and slowly picked up the tea cup in his hand.
"Taibao, today we will have tea instead of wine to work together on this great undertaking. When the success is achieved, I will bring you some fine wine to celebrate with Taibao."
Liu Zongsheng always had a smile on his face and gently picked up the tea cup, echoing Li Wen.
After the two discussed for a long time, Liu Zongsheng just left the house and left quietly through the back door of Li's house.
In the secret room in the atrium of Li Mansion.
The Li family's father and son sat in silence.
Ever since Liu Zongsheng left to prepare for the White Lotus Sect's followers to enter the city, Li Wenxiang had been deep in thought until now.
Li Benqian looked up at his father from time to time, then lowered his head and thought about his own problems.
"Reckless!"
I don't know how long it took, but Li Benqian suddenly heard his father's scolding in his ears.
He raised his head and looked at his father who looked unhappy.
Li Wenxiang frowned and squinted his eyes, his eyes a little cold.
"Didn't Liu Zongsheng think that the court would notice what we were going to do? Didn't he know that Zhu Yunxi might be playing tricks when he entered Shanxi Road this time? Do you want you to remind him?"
The series of accusations made Li Benqian a little surprised and panicked.
He stood up hesitantly and lowered his head.
Li Wenxiang said again: "Hide your clumsiness! I have taught you for many years, and you must hide your clumsiness in front of these people! If I don't speak first, will you tell us everything about our family background?"
Li Benqian shook his head: "My son knows he was wrong."
"I think you still don't know anything!" Li Wenxiang became more and more angry, and his voice became more severe: "Is Liu Zongsheng going to fight with you? Is the White Lotus Sect easy to fight with? If you don't keep a hand at this time, what will happen to him in the future? If Liu Zongsheng wants to have a drink to relieve his military power, we will stick our necks out and let others slaughter us?"
Li Benqian's head lowered further and further: "My son has never thought of this. It's because he failed to think about it. This is what my father taught me."
Li Wenxiang let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "This time we set up a trap in Taiyuan City to arrest Zhu Yunxi. Don't be too aggressive. Liu Zongsheng's people will do the job. Our people will never leave the city after entering the city!"
Five thousand of our people will enter the city, and another five thousand will stay outside the city. If things don't go as we want, the people in the city will protect us and rush out to join the people outside the city. Wait until then, no matter what
There is room for us to go wherever we want to go. "
Li Benqian frowned and said: "Aren't there still soldiers and horses from Shanxi Dusi that can be bribed? This Shanxi Daoshi Sansi! Taiyuan Prefecture! Yangqu County! Who has not confiscated our money! Are they not afraid that we will report them all? "
Li Wenxiang lamented: "Son, my father will teach you one more time. How could these people join us in decapitating people just because of a few taels of silver?"
This time, if we can lure Zhu Yunxi into the city and capture him, those who took our money will make up their minds to follow us.
You say report?
Do you think that even if the imperial court knew about the corruption in Shanxi Taoist officials, would it kill them first or eliminate us first?
It's hard to say that the imperial court, considering the overall situation of Shanxi Road, would give those who received the money a chance to make up for their mistakes.
By that time, the heads on our necks, father and son's, will be attributed to others. "
Li Wenxiang's eyes were a little solemn.
Rebellion has never been a simple matter of playing house. How can it be so easy?
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court's money bag was becoming increasingly full, Jiaozhi Road and Cham City Road had already begun to try to transport grain and grass directly to Beiping Mansion.
Why would they think about killing the Nine Clan?
If you don't try, all the glory and wealth of the past may disappear like a passing cloud.
Give it a try, you might as well have a chance.
Li Wenxiang looked at his son who finally understood. His eyes were a little more struggling, and then he sighed and whispered: "Ben Qian."
Li Benqian shook his shoulders: "My son is here."
Li Wenxiang looked at Li Benqian, who he had high hopes for and was the future of the Li family.
His eyes flickered.
"If this doesn't work out, you can take your father's head and go to the court to plead guilty."
