Zhao Yang couldn't help but nodded after hearing Li Ran's words:
"Sir, what you said makes sense. In this case, this Gaoqiang, just leave him alive and leave him to your full disposal!"
Li Ran bowed and said:
"Thank you, General!"
Then, after getting Zhao Yang's approval, Li Ran once again came to the camp where Gao Qiang was imprisoned.
Under Li Ran's instruction, Gao Qiang was not tied up and was sitting there, staring out from the prison window in a daze.
Hearing the movement, he couldn't help but look back. When he saw it was Li Ran, he turned back again.
"Haha, are you here after all? What do you want to know?!"
Li Ran did not avoid danger and sat directly opposite him on the ground.
"Master Ziliang, Zhongxing Muzi treated you very well back then. If I asked you to betray the Zhongxing family, I'm afraid it would be against integrity. However, there is a person who was your mortal enemy in the past. Let's talk about him.
Is it okay?"
Gao Qiang looked at Li Ran strangely:
"Who are you talking about...?"
Li Ran said word by word:
"Tian...begging!"
When Gao Qiang heard this name, he obviously narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, sir, this is the person you are talking about... Back then, Gao was expelled by Tianqi. This is known to everyone in the world! It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Gao's mortal enemy. However, Gao
After all, I have been away from Qi for many years, and I don’t know much about his current situation. I’m afraid Gao is helpless here!”
Li Ran smiled:
"This... I'm afraid it's not possible, right? Master Ziliang must be more concerned about the movements of Qi and Tianqi than anyone else! The two heroes of Jin and Qi are competing for hegemony, and the Fan family and the Zhonghang family are both related to Qi.
Close, I guess...Master Ziliang should still know a lot, right?!"
"Don't you think...Master Ziliang is thinking about how to take revenge?"
Unexpectedly, Gao Qiang sighed and said:
"Even so, so what? Back then, Gao was fooled by Tian Qi, which gave Tian Qi an opportunity to take advantage of him! Now that things have happened, even if he regrets it, what can he do?"
Li Ran continued to laugh and said:
"Now that the Marquis of Qi is old, I heard that Prince Tu and Tian Qi are not getting along, which is Tian Qi's hidden worry. Now he has even tried to interfere with the civil strife of our Jin country, and he wants to take the opportunity to intervene in the civil strife of our Jin country. If Ziliang wants
If you want to take revenge, isn't this an opportunity?"
Gao Qiang turned his head, looked Li Ran up and down, and then sighed again:
"Gao is now just a general of a defeated army. What can he do if he is imprisoned here?"
"You don't have to come to persuade me to surrender. Since you are in jail today, you just want to die!"
Li Ran couldn't help being surprised. After stroking his beard again, he suddenly asked:
"I don't know...Does Master Ziliang know how to raise a cow?"
When Gao Qiang heard the word "stand up", he couldn't help but curled his lips:
"How do you not know? This man made great changes in the state of Lu. First he weakened the Shusun family, and then caused a stir in the state of Zheng. Later, he worked under Fan Xianzi. Now, he is a substitute in the state of Qi.
He is a beggar who sells his life in the fields. This person can be regarded as traveling around the country. Although he is not a minister, he can still be regarded as a figure."
Li Ran continued:
"It seems that Lord Ziliang knows a lot about this person. But... there is one more thing, but does Ziliang know something about it?"
Li Ran has always treated Gao Qiang with courtesy, and Gao Qiang's attitude is also much more polite:
"Although I don't know why Mr. Ziming asked about this person, I must be against Tian Qi, so you can just ask. Although Gao Mouding knows everything, he will tell you."
Li Ran nodded, then raised his hands and asked:
"Wherever Shu Niu goes, he always makes himself unable to stay there before he leaves. This is true everywhere in Lu and Zheng. But only in Jin,
But he took the initiative to go to Qi State! When Fan Xianzi died of illness, the Fan family was still in great power. He could have followed Fan Jishe or even switched to Zhong Xingyin's command. But why did he go to Qi State instead of looking far away?
?”
Gao Qiang couldn't help but fell silent when he heard Li Ran's question.
Li Ran was not in a hurry and looked at Gao Qiang calmly.
After a while, Gao Qiang finally said:
"Although Mr. Gao didn't know much about this, he was the head of the Gao family at that time and had heard that the reason why Shu Niu went directly to Qi State to find field beggars after Fan Xianzi's death was actually Fan Xianzi's.
plan!"
"And the reason why Fan Xianzi did so many unimaginable and perverse things, even at the risk of endangering his own country of Jin, is actually probably because of the overall situation he laid out!"
Li Ran glanced sideways and said:
"Does Master Ziliang know... what is the purpose of this overall situation?"
Gao Qiang glanced at Li Ran:
"It is said that Fan Xianzi knew that his life was approaching, and at that time, the six ministers of the Jin Dynasty were fighting, and the winner was hard to decide. Although he had been in the position of chief minister for a long time, he also knew that his Fan family was still difficult to make achievements. Therefore, he secretly
Gather forces, organize and liaise with the ministers among the vassal states, and intend to use the ministers' clan to represent the ministers! Back then, Feng Duan, Ji Sun Yiru and others were all their people!"
"Previously, the Ji family of Lu State was weak, and Yang Hu took charge of state affairs. Fan Xianzi took advantage of Yang Hu's eagerness for quick success, offended his neighbors, and promoted the Shanxi-Eastern Alliance. He first encouraged Zheng Guo and Wei Guo to rebel against Jin and surrender to Qi. He also wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Yang Hu.
Tiger, so that the state of Lu can return to the control of the Ji family."
"Fan Yang is doing this because he wants to try his best to promote the four-nation alliance of Qi, Wei, Lu and Zheng. And Fan Yang also wants to use this to rely on Qi, so that the forces in eastern Jin can counterattack the four tribes in western Shan!
"
"It's just that there were some changes. The State of Lu failed to return power to the Ji family as originally planned. Instead, it was controlled by Kong Zhongni, a mere junior scholar, and even
He also took the opportunity to fall into the three capitals, which Fan Xianzi probably did not expect during his lifetime."
"Now, the Fan family and the Zhonghang family want to take the opportunity to counterattack the four clans in western Shanxi, but their hope is slim..."
Li Ran had actually guessed before that Fan Yang might have turned the focus of the secret gang to Qi Guo Tianqi before he died.
Although the high-powered man in front of him knew nothing about the Dark Walkers, he could still tell that there must be an alliance between these ministers. Such knowledge could be regarded as the limit of being an outsider.
Li Ran then continued to ask:
"Then... what is Zhong Xingyin's attitude towards these matters?"
Gao Qiang smiled and said:
"Master Zhongxing has nothing to say, because the focus has shifted to the Qi State, and the ultimate goal is to wipe out the four Jinxi tribes in the Jin State at one stroke.
The king is here to take over the state of Jin!"
"Since this move will be of great benefit to the Zhongxing family, what reason does he have to oppose it? Since Mr. Qilin is so talented, he can't even think of this, right?"
Li Ran pursed his lips:
"It sounds like Master Ziliang is just an outsider, but why does he know so much?"
Gao Qiang chuckled and said:
"Haha, Gao was also the head of the Gao family of Qi State at the time. Do you think they never came to see me? It's just that in our country, the Gao Er family has been established in Qi State for more than a hundred years. In the past, Guan Zhong established a national policy, three states, five states
Damn, I, the Gao family, belong to a wealthy family that assists the royal family."
"In Gao's opinion at that time, these people were just a bunch of young people who were just trying to prevent chaos in the world! But Gao didn't even bother to associate with them!"
