"If you kill Li Hong, what will be the consequences?" Wang Fen paced back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, as if she was talking to herself, as if she was asking everyone in the house.

Xu You sighed: "It's easy to kill Li Hong, but if Your Majesty thinks that Jizhou is too chaotic and unsafe, and you don't go back to your hometown in Hejian Country in Jizhou to worship your ancestors, what should you do?" The ministers of the DPRK and China were originally opposed to His Majesty returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and as soon as Li Hong died, didn't he just find a reason for them to object? ”

"In addition, Li Hong died in Jizhou, the lord is to blame, His Majesty is angry, I am afraid that the lord will be punished, if the lord is dismissed or imprisoned, then what else can be done about this? Still not doing it? Li Hong's subordinates are a group of barbarians, a group of barbarians who don't understand anything, they are very loyal to Li Hong, if Li Hong is killed, they lose control under the rage and launch a crazy revenge on us, what will happen? ”

Xu You looked at Wang Fen and said cautiously: "In my opinion, it's better not to kill, so as not to move the whole body and fall short." ”

Zhou Jing retorted: "Ziyuan, you have too many concerns, I think Li Hong's arrival in Jizhou is too much of a threat to us, so it's better to kill it as soon as possible." Li Hong suppressed corruption in Xiliang and offended all forces in the DPRK and China, and there were too many people who wanted to kill him, if we found a reasonable reason to kill him, not only would no one in the DPRK and China be held accountable, but maybe he would also make meritorious contributions? Although His Majesty is very kind to Li Hong, but everyone is dead, what else can he do? Only we have a good reason to kill him, and His Majesty just wants to punish us, and he can't find a crime. ”

"My lord, it's better to kill it." Tao Gao said, "Li Hong, with the help of that Song Wen, will definitely be able to grasp the evidence that the adults have framed and confiscated the twenty-seven households, my lord, this is a capital crime, if you don't kill him, he will kill you." Also, the temple in His Majesty's hometown has not been repaired, and the temporary palace has not been done, this matter cannot be hidden, once Li Hong finds out, how will the adults deal with it? Li Hong casually wrote a book to impeach, and adults are guilty of bullying the king. ”

Wang Fen was silent and hesitated.

"My lord, let's just say that he was retaliated by the ant thieves and assassinated by the assassins." Zhou Jing smiled, "In this way, we won't push the responsibility away." ”

"My lord, killing him, there are too many troubles, and the variables are also very large, it is difficult to predict what the consequences will be, so it is safer not to kill him." Xu You said, "My lord, we can use money to bribe him and buy him off." Li Hong can't buy it, we can buy his men. ”

"Brother Yuanshan, we urgently need that batch of military funds, let's let Ziyuan go and run away first." Chen Yi pondered for a long time and said, "For so many years, I have not seen an unruly bureaucrat. ”

Wang Fen nodded and said, "Okay, then let Ziyuan go for a run first." ”

He glanced at Zhou Jing and Tao Gao, and said: "If you want to kill Li Hong, you must kill him together with his three thousand black panther righteous servants, otherwise the development of things will be difficult to control, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run, carefully planned, and not rushed." ”

The next day, Xu You arrived at the Xiangyushan military camp and directly found Sima Li Wei of the Zuojun.

Li Wei was very enthusiastic, welcomed him into the military tent, and talked happily with each other. The two chatted for a while, and Xu You immediately explained his intention and handed over the gift list. Li Wei took it and took a cursory look, then put it on the desk casually, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang gave this gift very generously." He deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "thick".

"Song Wen, a disciple of Mr. Bohai Jiang, said that you have recently confiscated the property of twenty-seven tycoons in Jizhou, with a total of 600 million yuan, and now this money ......" Li Wei did not continue, but deliberately dragged out his tone, his eyes squinted at Xu You, and observed his reaction.

Xu You shook his head again and again and smiled, "That's a madman, you can't take what you say seriously." ”

Li Wei smiled slightly, slowly pushed the gift list on the desk to Xu You, and said: "Lord Xu, you should know very well who my family is, I don't dare to do this kind of thing, let alone take it upon myself to accept this heavy gift on his behalf, I still want to keep this guy on my neck who eats, and Brother Ziyuan doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Xu You slowly pushed the gift list back, and said with a smile: "It's better to accept this little bit of thin gift, so that I won't be able to explain it when I go back." What Zhong Yuan means, I will definitely bring it to Lord Thorn Shi, and I believe that Lord Thorn Shi will definitely satisfy you. ”

Li Wei nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Brother Ziyuan, you go back and tell Lord Wang that if he wants to take away the military funds, he must do something to show Lord Li and make Lord Li happy, otherwise, it is useless for you to bribe me with any amount of money, you must know that I have just served under Lord Li's account, and my words have no weight." ”

Xu You happily arched his hand and asked, "Zhong Yuan, can you give me some advice." ”

Li Wei smiled: "Although you know that the army is very important to ensure Your Majesty's safety, you don't pay attention to the soldiers of the army at all. This army in Jizhou Mansion has been formed for a while, and the imperial court has also allocated some military funds in the early stage, but not only do you not have all the armor and weapons, but you have not even solved the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers, so how can Lord Li rest assured that the military funds of 200 million yuan will be allocated to you? You are committing a taboo in adulthood, you know? ”

Xu You suddenly realized, "Thank you Zhong Yuan for reminding me, I will tell the adults as soon as I go back, and I will solve this matter tomorrow." ”

"If Lord Wang can solve this matter in time, things will be much simpler." Li Wei said, and then he remembered something and asked, "I heard that Master Xiangkai of Pingyuan County is teaching the Fa in Yecheng?" ”

Xu You smiled and said, "What, Zhong Yuan is also interested in Huang Lao's Dao and the Immortal Technique?" ”

Li Wei said: "It's not that I'm interested, it's that Master Li is interested." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Li said that if it is convenient, he wants to visit the city these days." ”

Xu You hurriedly said: "There is no need to visit. If adults enter the city, the people will definitely flock to watch, and it is difficult to guarantee the safety of adults. In my opinion, it is better to let the master come and visit Master Li. ”

"Master Xiangkai is highly respected, and it is too rude to do this." Li Wei shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be bad if you annoyed the master and got so angry that the master brushed his sleeves away?" ”

"Lord Wang and Master Xiangkai have a very good relationship, I will report this matter to Lord Li immediately after I go back, and he will come forward to invite Master Xiangkai to visit Master Li in the military camp." Xu You said with a smile, "Zhong Yuan rest assured, the master is humble and will not be so lacking." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Li Hong ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to temporarily command the army.

After Yan Liang and Wen Chou carefully inquired about the troops, they immediately reported to Li Hongyu and asked for the establishment of a guard battalion and a Bingcao battalion. There were many soldiers in the army who were injured or frostbitten, but because there were no doctors in the army, there was no one to treat them.

"My lord, I see that these soldiers are all temporarily transferred from various departments of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, and the structure is relatively chaotic, as if they belong to different commanders, and some of them still have contradictions with each other." Yan Liang said, "With so many messy parts, there must be a person with authority to lead in secret. ”

Li Hong looked up at Yan Liang and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure." Yan Liang said, "Bing Cao is engaged in Zhang Xiao Zhang Bochou is young, and he has no experience in leading troops, let alone any military exploits, who will listen to him?" Lord Fenwang of the Assassin History is not in the barracks at all, he is a bureaucrat of the noble clan, he doesn't even know martial arts, and the thieves of the Yellow Turban Army won't pay attention to him? ”

"If there was no big man in the barracks to command and dispatch, would these Yellow Turban soldiers stay in the barracks so honestly?" Wen Chou smiled, "20,000 soldiers, everyone is not well fed and clothed, I'm afraid they have already started to rob it." I see that Lin Xun, Panta, Liao Lei, and Ding Bo are all bandits who have fought in battle, and their martial arts are not bad, and their status in the Yellow Turban Army will not be too low, and there is no Yellow Turban Army general with a higher status than them sitting in the big camp, who will be able to control them? ”

Li Hong thought for a moment and said: "Zishan, Zijun, you send someone to keep an eye on these four people, if you find this leader of the Yellow Turban Army who is hiding in the shadows and commanding, don't arrest him for the time being, let alone kill him, I still have a role." ”

Xu You hurriedly returned to the city to report the situation to Wang Fen.

"Although this Li Zhongyuan is young, he is very greedy, and 10 million yuan can't satisfy him." Xu You said disdainfully, "He repeatedly mentioned that we confiscated 600 million family wealth, obviously he was blackmailing us, and he wanted to blackmail us." Zhu Jun was honest all his life, but he didn't expect to teach such a shameless person, which really insulted Mr. Zhu's reputation. ”

"That's right. If everyone is like Li Hong, how can we do great things. Wang Fen smiled, "Tomorrow, you will give him another 20 million yuan." Li Wei's idea is good, we ignored this barbarian and his penchant for loving soldiers like a son. ”

He looked at Xiang Kai and asked, "Master, should we send some of those armor and weapons over as well?" ”

"No, just give me some food and clothing." Xiang Kai shook his head resolutely and said, "If these 20,000 people are equipped with armor and weapons now, who knows what they will do?" Of course, the Bitter Chief's subordinates will obey the Bitter Chief's words, but what about Lin Xun? And a few people in Panta, will they listen to the bitter chieftain? These people turned out to be under the hands of poison, all of them were unruly and outlaws, and if one of them suddenly attacked Li Hong and his men, all our schemes would be immediately exposed. We can't afford to take this risk. ”

Wang Fen nodded and said to Xu You: "Ziyuan, then send some food and winter clothes first." Send more meat, let the soldiers open the meat, and make the barbarian happy, and allocate the military funds to us as soon as possible. ”

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow. We're in a hurry to get the money. Wang Fen smiled bitterly, "Now there are many things to do, just wait for this money to be emergency." ”

"Will the master also go to the barracks tomorrow?" Xu You asked Xiangkai.

"Yes, I'll meet him." Xiang Kai smiled, "This leopard lord is actually interested in Huang Lao's technique, which is surprising." ”

He looked at Wang Fen and said, "If I can convince him, the big thing can be decided." ”

Wang Fen sneered and sneered: "Does he understand?" He'll kill. It's okay to pretend to be elegant. ”

Xu You looked at Xiang Kai in disbelief, and arched his hand and said, "If the master can convince him, you must be a living immortal." ”
