Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh gentry world
The nature of the Buddha, Zheng, Demon and other Jianghu forces, or the nature of the people, is destined not to fully support a certain force to dominate the world, only the nobles will!
This is a nature issue, and it is not an issue that individual people in power can control.
Just like the financial factors of various forces, especially the Five-Nation Alliance, most of them are provided by the gentry. Especially the supply and recruitment of most of the army are inseparable from the support of the gentry. Among them, the middle and upper-level elites are even descendants of the gentry.
Guards, private troops, etc., it is not an exaggeration to say that the nobles occupy half of the country. Otherwise, the various anti-king forces would not have the foundation to rise so quickly.
Relatively speaking, Liguo is doing well and does not pay much attention to the gentry. However, as everyone knows, there are four major families in Liguo: Wu family, Wei family, Changsun family, and Di family.
The four major families of Li Kingdom, not to mention occupying half of Li Kingdom, are also very important and have great influence. This is because King Wuxin of Li does not pay attention to the gentry, and even deliberately suppresses them.
"What General Li said is not only known to everyone, but also known to the whole world. What's the point? What's important is... is it unreliable and is it true?"
Luo Tong shook his head dissatisfiedly and doubted mercilessly.
Is Li Xiaogong an ordinary person? He would never reveal the secret reporting force. He shook his head and replied: "Since we are a big Liguo family, how can we be exposed easily? Wouldn't that put people to death? Whether the intelligence is reliable will be known through investigation!"
"That's the reason, but... now that the decisive battle is approaching, do we trust this information and delay it or allocate our troops?"
Luo Tong's heart thumped, and he stopped asking questions, but responded with a headache. He paused, looked around at everyone present and then said, "Everyone, please express your stance!"
Everyone was silent, thinking about what Li Xiaogong and Luo Tong said.
"The matter has come to this, it's best for us to work together to deal with it, there is no need to be distracted, right?"
Liu Heitai frowned and suggested first, paused, and then quickly added: "I have to admit that even if we join forces, it will be difficult to crush the Li army. If we add extra trouble and divide the troops to take care of him, we may really lose...
…”
Most of the people present nodded. Although the coalition forces were full of confidence, they basically knew that the coalition forces had no chance of crushing the Li army. Otherwise, they would not have been stuck in Jinhu for several months. Now they have decided to decide on a decisive battle!
Luo Tong quickly nodded in agreement and said: "What General Liu said is absolutely true. Now that the matter is over, we will work together to kill him! We can defeat all methods with one force, so why bother to care about the enemy's conspiracy? It's too much to think about.
, it will only distract your own strength and be self-defeating!"
"It's really not a good idea to divide the troops now and take care of others..."
King Wei Li Mi nodded slightly, looking at Li Xiaogong with some caution and confusion.
Based on Li Mi's understanding of Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaogong should not be such a "wary" person. At the same time, Li Mi also doubted whether the Tang army was so suspicious that they were defeated so miserably?!
"This information...the key point is not whether we divide our troops. But..."
Seeing that no one supported him, Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly and reminded him slowly. After a pause, he carefully worded his words: "The Li army is likely to defeat or even destroy our confidence, so they will deploy like this!"
"Um?!"
Most of the people present, including Li Mi, Liu Heita, and Ashnade, had slightly changed expressions.
Li Xiaogong's statement is not difficult to understand, but...it's a little hard to accept!
"Why did General Li say that?"
Luo Tong stared closely at Li Xiaogong and asked. He quickly added: "This battle is related to the success or failure of our five countries. If you are not determined to put all your efforts into it, you might as well retreat as soon as possible to preserve your strength. Do you want to die knowing that you will lose? I believe it.
The consequences of this defeat are hard for us to accept, right?"
"Shuai Luo misunderstood! I am just stating the facts and have no other intentions! It would be unsightly to not report such important information if you know it!"
Li Xiaogong was shocked and quickly explained.
"I understand what General Li means! But... speaking from a small perspective, it means that no matter how big or small it is, just try to make no mistakes; speaking from a big perspective, it means..."
Luo Tong nodded to express his understanding, but he stood up and spoke solemnly. After a pause, he vowed:
"No matter what, in this battle, we can only win, not lose!"
"Only victory is allowed, no defeat is allowed!"
Most of the people present understood this truth, and they all solemnly agreed.
There is no turning back when the bow is fired, not to mention that the Five-Nation Allied Forces have invaded the south, and there is no reason to give up, otherwise they would not have persisted until now!
…
Yongfu City.
The situation of the coalition meeting was quickly passed through the Shadow Mansion to Eunuch Hua, who then passed it on to King Li Wuxin.
"big family?!"
Wu Xin frowned and murmured, this definition is too broad and it is really difficult to doubt.
It can be said that every city, regardless of its rank, has families within it, and most of them belong to the noble clan.
"This issue will be left to you to investigate."
After pondering hard for an answer, Wu Xin simply gave up for the time being and directly gave the instructions to Eunuch Hua. After a pause, he solemnly warned:
"Remember! Secret investigations must not be made public or leaked. At least before the decisive battle, it is not advisable to hold large-scale events, so as not to shake the people's morale and military morale, create extraneous branches, and cause civil strife!"
"Understood!" Mr. Hua bowed and solemnly responded, but his heart was quite bitter.
Not many people knew the goals of Du Fuwei, the Duke of Huaihe, and there were only dozens of people present at the time. However, there were too many people who knew about the actions of the Huaihe Army, the Million Li Army and the Ministry of Water, and the Bao family.
How to check?!
However, this is one of the few important tasks that Wang Wuxin personally handed over. If it is really investigated, it will be an excellent opportunity for Eunuch Hua and the Shadow Mansion to establish their authority!
"There are enemy spies in our army?!" Wei Xiaokuan asked cautiously.
Hua Gonggong's report was only handed over to Wu Xin alone, but Wu Xin's instructions did not avoid Taiwei Wei Xiaokuan, the three Dharma kings and other close ministers.
What are Hua Gonggong and Shadow Mansion mainly responsible for?
Based on the wisdom of everyone present, it was easy to guess, especially Lieutenant Wei Xiaokuan, that this was closely related.
"Um!"
Wu Xin nodded unabashedly, paused, and then quickly continued:
"However, he is definitely not an important minister of ours and has nothing to do with the overall situation. He is just a little mouse and his knowledge is limited. You don't need to worry about it!"
This is also one of the biggest differences between the Li Army and the Alliance Army.
First, Li Jun can be said to be Wu Xin's one-stop shop. They work together to determine which legion and which commander is responsible for attacking where. They will not have two minds, and they will not dare to refuse or not do their best.
Second, both sides certainly cannot avoid the existence of spies, but Wu Xin has control of the "Vessal List". As long as a high-ranking minister makes any changes or has different intentions, Wu Xin will be able to detect it, which can naturally minimize the risk.
What makes Wu Xin a little helpless is that even though Wu Xin knew the dangers of the nobles and tried his best to monitor and suppress them, he could not avoid the infiltration and influence of the nobles.
This is an unanswerable question!
Perhaps it was a secret report from the attendants, guards, etc. at the meeting; perhaps it was an unintentional leak by a minister; perhaps it was an enemy spy's own analysis, speculation, and speculation...
People's hearts are unpredictable. All Wu Xin can do is control the overall situation and minimize the harm!
