On the cliff, Gai Niewizhuang looked at the army of peasant disciples roaring away in the forest, his face full of seriousness.

"The direction of this war seems to have completely deviated from the proper track." After a moment, Wei Zhuang, who was striking the ground with his sword, said.

Gai Nie's eyes became deep, and after being silent for a while, he replied, "There seem to be some problems within the empire that we are not clear about."

Although they didn't know all the inside story, they could clearly see that Luo Wang was helping the farmer deceive Wang Li.

"What do you think Luo Wang is thinking?" Wei Zhuang asked in a rather playful manner with the corner of his mouth raised.

"...I don't know." Ge Nie slowly shook his head.

He actually had a lot of contact with Zhao Gao. After all, one was the emperor's personal guard and the other was the emperor's most trusted chamberlain.

In the past, in Ge Nie's eyes, Zhao Gao was a deep-seated conspirator and a close official of the emperor who was good at playing power. The only unwise thing he did was to quarrel with Gu Xun.

But now it seems that some of the other party's ideas and practices seem to have exceeded the limit.

To put it bluntly, he felt that Zhao Gao was looking for death.

Even though he didn't have a good relationship with Gu Xun, he still dared to make small moves behind the emperor's back!

What exactly does he want to do?

This question came to Gai Nie's mind, and he couldn't think of an answer for a while.

As a chamberlain, Zhao Gao, who had already achieved the rank of CRRC and was in charge of the net, had basically reached the end of his official career.

If he were to be promoted again, only the more important official positions among the Nine Ministers, as well as the two top civil officials, Prime Minister and Yushi Dafu, would be worthy of his powerful position.

But as long as there is nothing wrong with Ying Zheng's mind, it is impossible for these official positions to fall to Zhao Gao.

On the one hand, Zhao Gao's background is not enough.

A few hundred years ago, Zhao Gaochun was just a slave, not even a human being. Being a chamberlain was the limit.

On the other hand, Zhao Gao's ability is not enough.

Whether you are a prime minister, a royal censor, or an official position among the nine ministers, such as Feng Chang Ting Wei Tai Servant, you all need corresponding professional abilities.

Zhao Gao...he is very good at plotting and scheming.

It is impossible for Ying Zheng to leave professional talents and use them to engage in official political struggles.

For Zhao Gao, who has reached the pinnacle of his life in a sense, there is only one thing he should do most, and that is to maintain his favor with Ying Zheng.

As a result, this guy is dancing on the edge of the cliff... What good can he gain by working so hard to die?

After Wei Zhuang heard Gai Nie's response, he sneered, glanced at his senior brother, and then asked meaningfully:

"You really don't know?"

Gai Nie's eyes darkened.

He knew Wei Zhuang very well. When the other person said this, he must have thought that he should know the answer.

Thinking of this, a fact suddenly appeared in Gai Nie's mind - Zhao Gao was the teacher of the eighteenth prince Hu Hai.

Indeed... there is only one other 'emperor' who can allow Zhao Gao to risk the emperor's wrath.

But even after thinking of this, Ge Nie still felt that he could not understand the logic of Zhao Gao's behavior.

In the imperial court, there were many people who stood for the position of crown prince, but they were mainly divided into two groups - those who stood for the captaincy of Prince Fusu, and those who did not.

There are no other young masters who stand in line, and even if they do, they hide it very deeply and don't dare to be exposed at all.

The reason is also very simple, except for the eldest son Fusu, no one is reliable.

This kind of thing is not like betting in a casino. Few people dare to blindly bet on projects with high odds. Everyone prefers stability. Only those who cannot seek stability will take the wrong approach.

Now Ying Zheng is only in his forties, which is not considered young in this era, but he does not mean that he has only a few more years to live.

In the eyes of the imperial officials, it shouldn't be a problem for their emperor to live for another twenty years. After all, there is a world-famous miracle doctor like Gu Xunnianduan around him, who usually looks so young and healthy.

So they don't need to worry at all - this is also Gai Nie's view.

Ge Nie didn't know Ying Zheng's true health condition, but he only knew that he had a headache, which didn't look fatal at all.

Don't talk about him, even Zhao Gao most likely doesn't know this.

The only people who knew clearly that Ying Zheng's physical condition was extremely poor were Gu Xunnianduan and a few medical officers with high medical skills in Taiyuan Hospital.

Tai Hospital was completely controlled by Gu Xun, and Zhao Gao had no way of knowing this from any insider.

The only one who might leak this is the Yin Yang family.

There is a high probability that they also know Ying Zheng's physical condition and may inform Zhao Gao about it.

In short, Ge Nie certainly could not understand Zhao Gao's thoughts at all, considering that the succession of the throne was not something that would happen in a short period of time.

You must know that Hu Hai, as the youngest son of Ying Zheng, was very favored, but no one thought that he had anything to do with the position of crown prince.

From his origin, to his ability, to his age, no matter how he is ranked, he ranks last among all the young men.

Forcibly recommending Hu Hai as the crown prince, isn't this like drinking milk from a bull without asking for results?

"It seems that Luo Wang has completely deviated from his responsibilities." After thinking for a while, Gai Nie sighed.

Ying Zheng is not dead yet, but this huge empire seems to have begun to decay.

Wei Zhuang laughed, "At least now, this is a good thing for us."

"Zhao Gao may not be a person willing to suffer losses." Gai Nie reminded softly.

He was reminding Wei Zhuang to be careful that Zhao Gao might have other conspiracies in this matter.

"He doesn't want to suffer losses, but he has gained enough in this round." Wei Zhuang replied without hesitation, "If he wants to swallow up all the benefits by himself, he must have that ability!"

The mere fact that Fusu was released to the north, in the eyes of most people, including Zhao Gao himself, was enough to mean that Luo Wang had won so much that he could no longer win.

At the same time, the Nongjia, a force that could become an important support to Fusu, was completely pushed to the opposite side of the empire, and the power of the net was further penetrated into its interior.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, Wang Li, the general who may fall further into the trap and Zhao Gao...

Zhao Gao has already gained enough benefits from this round.

Of course, he will definitely not despise his gains and will only crave more, but...he can only win so far.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no way that the farmer will fall into the trap.

As for whether he has any other options, it no longer matters.

It's not just farmers and armor-piercing soldiers who are about to fall into the quagmire of war, the same goes for snares.

If Luo Wang loses almost all the manpower in Daze Mountain, what will happen no matter how many arrangements Zhao Gao has?

The layout of the net means that it has to enter the game!

………………

On the other side, Lian Yi was also watching the peasant army march out.

Unlike Gui Gu Zongheng, she knew very few things, and her eyes at this time contained only expectations and worries - hoping that the farm family would be successful, and worrying about losing the news of Huaying.

Behind her, the tall bear-like Dianqing stood silently.

Lian Yi turned her head and glanced at the ceremony. After moving her lips a few times, she said nothing and turned back silently.

Although Dianqing was blindfolded, he could still feel Lian Yi's gaze, but he did not speak.

He knew what Lian Yi was thinking - hoping he could save Hua Ying.

However, this matter involved Wang Li and the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Soldiers, and it was not convenient for him to directly show up and interfere. Otherwise, he would have offered to help himself without the other party having to tell them.

Lian Yi probably knew the inconvenience of the ceremony, so she just had the idea but did not make a request.

………………

"Xia Kui, I still need a team of people." Han Xin said to Tian Yanyi.

Tian Yan heard this and looked sideways at him, "The four-pronged army is not enough for you right now?"

Han Xin shrugged, "When it comes to using troops, the more the better."

"These four armies have their places to go, and the extra manpower also has their places to go."

The reason why only 40,000 of the 80,000 disciples of the farm family have been gathered now is, of course, because of the time limit and not enough time. On the other hand, in the view of Tian Hu and others, they cannot all be handed over to Han Xin at once.

Their trust in Han Xin is very low, and Tian Yan, as the leader of the knights, should also be the same. It is obviously unwise to hand over all military power at once.

And Han Xin also required manual operation, which made Tian Hu and others a little sensitive.

If they hand over some more manpower, the strength they retain on hand will no longer be advantageous.

Han Xin ignored the slightly unkind looks from Tian Hu and others, and said seriously to Tian Yan, "Xia Kui gave me three days of command."

Tian Yan seemed to be moved by his words and replied in a deep voice, "How many more people do you want?"

"Not too much, not too little."

"Well..." Tian Yan glanced at Han Xin with a scrutinizing gaze, and then turned to Tian Zhong, "Master Tian Zhong, Gonggong Hall will allocate some more manpower to him!"

Of course Tian Zhong didn't want to ask anyone else, but when Tian Yan spoke, he certainly couldn't refuse.

Moreover, Tian Yan's arrangement was also the most reasonable. He must first consume the strength of the weakest Gonggong Hall and try to preserve the strength of several Lieshan Halls.
