Chapter 34 Playing Chess
five days ago.
Pingzhou City.
"The world is vast and I don't know where to stop. Now that there is no great unity in the world, Li Dan did not hesitate to collude with foreign tribes to conquer the country in order to unify the Central Plains. On the one hand, he killed chickens and monkeys to scare the princes. On the other hand, he took advantage of the destruction of the city to enter Pingzhou again and pretend to be him.
Liao Dan, who was repulsed, captured the hearts of the people and firmly sat on the throne."
"Looking at Liaodan, they have been coveting my Chaoyouyun Sixteenth Prefecture—Pingzhou is a small territory with two tigers fighting each other. This game is really difficult."
In an elegant room that was completely confidential and safe, Gu Qingrang let out a long sigh.
"Yes, even if all the old, weak, sick and disabled in Pingzhou are included, they are still no match for one-tenth of the Liaodan army. What's more, this is more than just a fight between two tigers. The Liaodan Khan and his
The biological mother, Queen Mother Shulu, is also fighting openly and secretly, and it is obvious that there are three tigers fighting against each other."
Li Hexi leaned back, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but his heart was really confused and irritable.
"Hey," he suddenly opened his eyes and drew three circles on the table while soaking in the wine, "stop boiling with soup, and the boil will not stop. If you know the root cause, you will just get rid of the fire. Instead of being caught in the middle and being timid, it is better to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron.
, cut the grass and remove the roots.”
"Brother Li said it easily," Gu Qingrang stretched out his hand and cut the three circles horizontally. "The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass have gone first. In ancient times, the battle of Guandu drew fuel to stop the boiling. Today, we can't let you and I sneak into them secretly.
A fire in the camp burned the other party's roots?——Ah, do you think so?"
Gu Qingrang suddenly realized it halfway through his words, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding.
"That's right."
Li Hecheng placed the bottomed wine cup on the middle circle:
"Everyone gathers for profit and disperses for profit. What's more, the cooperation between Li Dan and the Queen Mother Shulu of Liao Dan was inherently controversial. One did not dare to cede territory directly for fear of the accusations of the courtiers and the people; the other was greedy and unethical, always feeling that he was losing his troops.
It was a huge loss, so I wanted to raise my stakes.”
"Why don't I go talk to Na Yelu Dejin in person, pretend to help him, and muddy the water first, and then let them fight with each other."
"No," Gu Qingrang stopped him, "You were too impulsive when you exposed your identity to save Miss Li that day. Now everyone knows that you, the former prince of the Ye Dynasty, are not only alive, but also helping Pingzhou to fight against the two countries.
, how could they believe you!"
Li Hehe breathed a long sigh of relief, "You still need to transport the military supplies secretly supported by the Gu family in the city, and you can't leave, so what's the point?"
"I'll go."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Qianyin stood upright at the door holding a long sword.
"Little witch? If you don't take good care of yourself, why are you here?"
Li Hexiang looked up and saw Li Qianyin's head sticking out from behind, with an apologetic expression on his face.
"Before we get down to business, I have one more thing to ask you -" Li Qianyin leaned over and pulled the person out from behind and threw him in front of the two of them, "What happened to her?"
The four of them stood together and looked at each other. Jiang Tianluo hesitated for a long time and was embarrassed and speechless.
"What's going on?" Li Hecheng lowered his face, looking at this junior sister who always had her own way of doing things, the air pressure around her body gradually decreased.
"Sister-in-law, senior brother, aren't I doing this to win over you?"
"Okay, okay, can't I say it?" Jiang Tianluo, the number one killer of Qianji Pavilion, looked like a kitten caught stealing in front of several people at this moment, and explained the whole story clearly to Li Hexi.
"Actually, I'm just curious. I want to help my senior brother protect my sister-in-law, and by the way, prevent someone from snatching her away when you are not in Dongdu."
"Well, you did a good job. I'll reward you with a day out."
The senior brothers and sisters chatted back and forth.
"I thought you sent her to spy on me."
Li Qianyin sat down, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Gu Qingrang looking at the girl's leaving figure, unable to move his eyes away, and felt a little tempted to laugh.
She knocked on the table twice with "dong, dong", and the two of them looked at him with playful expressions as he still hadn't recovered from his thoughts, and looked at each other knowingly.
"My father was framed because of the battle in the north. I can use this as an excuse to pretend to be expelled from Pingzhou by you and surrender to the new king of Liaodan. I persuade him to continue attacking Pingzhou and avenge myself."
Looking at the marks left by the two circles drawn with wine after drying on the table, Li Qianyin moved the wine cup that Li Hechen had just put on, especially the circle in the middle.
"Although this reason seems reasonable, he will definitely not believe me at first, so I will lead a few people from Liaodan to help him capture a city in Pingzhou-"
She drew a small cross in the upper left corner of the circle, "This is a deal that won't suffer a loss, and he won't refuse."
"Although he will not completely trust Miss Li after this, Yelv Dejin's power struggle with the Queen Mother is getting worse and worse. He will definitely want to use you, Miss Li, to gain more benefits."
Gu Qingrang continued, "When the time comes, Brother Li will invite you again and again in the name of peace talks. Yelv Dejin already relies on his strong military strength. If Miss Jing Li stirs up trouble, he will definitely call in his thousands of troops to suppress the battle."
"——At that time, you and my junior sister, along with the people from Qianji Pavilion and the Pingzhou Army, and with the help of the two eldest brothers, can steal their house in one fell swoop."
Li Hecheng picked up the wine cup and drank a glass.
"On Li Dan's side. There is also the general named Li Chenjin. Although he is also from Shizimen, he reminded me of my father's murder earlier and protected the people in Cangzhou. What he did is really incomprehensible.
."
Li Qianyin frowned.
"A while ago, in the court, Li Dan wanted to cede the Sixteenth Province of Youyun to Liao Dan. The ministers in the court objected. He doesn't dare to do anything openly now. It's just Li Chenjin. I just
We know that he is Li Dan's adopted son, but we don't know anything else about him."
The man in black clothes crossed his arms and shook his head, his tone not as firm as before.
"One of you is black and the other is white, but this game of chess is too risky, Miss Li, you."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Gu, don't worry, the new king of Liaodan doesn't have the ability to really kill me."
Li Qianyin thought for a moment, put down the sword he had been holding, and saluted the two of them.
"There is a sect leader in Li Dan's Cross Gate and the Yongding Marquis who is stationed in the north of the Ye Dynasty. They are my enemies. I also ask you two to help me deal with them when they are done. From now on, we will go our separate ways."
"His Royal Highness King Yi!"
In the banquet hall for peace talks in Pingzhou City, a person from Qianji Pavilion came up to inform.
"Sure enough, Liaodan sent people over. Not many people came, just a group of people, but they forced their way into the city gate, and many brothers have died."
The man hesitated to speak, as if he was not sure about what he was saying.
"What's wrong?"
Li Qianyin asked hurriedly.
"It's just that the leader is actually a little girl!"
"Chu Yuening?! How is this possible?"
Outside the main gate of Pingzhou, a little girl jumped out of a chariot carried by a dozen Liao and Dan soldiers.
Looking at Li Qianyin who was riding a fast horse from the city, she stepped on the body of a Pingzhou guard with her little embroidered shoes and raised an innocent smile:
"Sister, I miss you so much."
