Liu Xing looked at Zhang Jingxu in disbelief, because in Liu Xing's opinion, the new city lord should not have so few supporters.
"That's right, at most, only about half of the sects have chosen to support the new city lord, but of the remaining half, half are outsiders, and no decision has been made yet."
Zhang Jingxu said seriously: "The reason is also very simple, that is, Guo Er's identity still cannot be recognized by everyone, so everyone is not very convinced of him, especially after the third young master suddenly died of illness, everyone was convinced of this
Guo Er became suspicious, thinking that he had something to do with this matter, so the people who had a good relationship with the third young master before stood on the opposite side of Guo Er. After all, it is normal for the rabbit to die and the fox to be sad, and the other two young masters
The supporters were also a little overwhelmed, so some of them chose neutrality, while the remaining ones joined the camp against Guo Er."
"That's true. I also know the third son of the old city lord's family somewhat. His abilities are pretty good and his physical fitness is pretty good, so it seems a bit strange that he suddenly died of illness. It would be the same if it were me.
I suspect this is what Guo Er did."
Yu Lei held a wine pot and said: "As we all know, if something happens to the three former young masters in Boyang City, the only beneficiary will be the sudden arrival of Guo Er, and Guo Er suddenly becomes the new city lord. In various senses,
This is all unreasonable. After all, Boyang City has formed a new set of rules over the years, and the three young masters have been competing for the position of the new city lord according to this new rule! As a result, you Guo Er
If you ignore this new rule and directly become the new city lord, then anyone else will feel uncomfortable."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a puzzled look on his face: "So why did Guo Er directly become the new city lord? This matter was really too sudden, and the three young masters didn't say anything, so they just gave up.
However, something happened to the third young master suddenly, and he died of an illness for the most inexplicable reason, which made the matter even more complicated and confusing."
"yes."
Yu Lei took a sip of wine and looked at the moon outside the window, wondering what he was thinking. Liu Xing and Liu Xing also drank tea silently, thinking about a question at the same time - did Guo Er have any feelings for the third son of Boyang City?
Take action.
But not long after, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the third young master did not die of illness!
suspended animation?
Liu Xing frowned and said: "Brother Yu, didn't we discuss before that Guo Er might be a subordinate of another prince? This time he came to Boyang City to become the city lord just to be a secret agent, ready to stab three people in the back at any time.
Prince! If this is the case, then those who support Guo Er to become the new city lord are most likely to be subordinates of that prince. Or we can simply conclude that Feishi Sect has been subordinate to that prince from beginning to end.
Among them are those three young masters."
"Then the problem is obvious. The third young master did not really die of illness, but Guo Er wanted to use his fake death to judge the attitude of other sects in Boyang City. In this way, he can start to
A one-step plan - start to suppress those sects that do not support us, and find a way to get these sects to leave Boyang City, so that Guo Er can completely control everything in Boyang City at the right time and cut us off from all the connections south of Boyang City.
Contact! Become a bridgehead for the enemy at the same time.”
When Yu Lei heard Liu Xing's words, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Apeng, what you said makes sense. If Guo Er wants to completely control Boyang City, the biggest resistance will be Wutai and other sects.
, because their strength cannot be underestimated, and a sect like Feishi Sect that mainly uses hidden weapons still suffers a lot in the melee, not to mention that today's Feishi Sect does not have many masters on the surface; so those three
If the young masters are also on Guo Er's side, then they can indeed cooperate with Guo Er to test the attitudes of various sects."
"After all, these three young masters had some friendship with these sects before, so the sudden death of the third young master will definitely cause a lot of discussion. The most common problem is that now the situation in Boyang City has stabilized, and Guo Er has successfully become
The new city lord, then it is time for a new official to take office. Will the three fires burn to his own head? Especially for someone like Guo Er who originally had no foundation in Boyang City. Logically speaking,
He said that he has to recruit a group of people in Boyang City and make them his team to help him gain a foothold in Boyang City."
"But just like this pot of wine, if all three of us want to drink it, then if you, A Peng, take one more sip, Xiao Xiami and I will have to take one less sip! But the three of us are brothers, so we have already discussed it.
How to drink this jug of wine, so there will be no conflicts. Even if someone is greedy and takes a small sip, he can make up for it from other places. For example, if we want another jug of wine later, you
You’ll have to take one less sip.”
"But now another person suddenly appeared. He kicked A Peng away as soon as he came up, and then said he wanted to drink with us. In theory, we only need to give him A Peng's share of the wine.
Drink, but in fact it is impossible to do it, because this person is obviously coming with bad intentions, and he also showed his martial arts at the beginning, so Xiao Xiami and I have to give him a little bit.
Or join forces to avenge Apeng! But, Xiao Xiami and I are just casual acquaintances, so we want to join forces but we don’t trust each other."
"If I were a newcomer, I would choose to defeat each other before you two truly stand on the same side." Liu Xing said decisively.
Yu Lei sighed, nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, Guo Er will soon attack those sects that oppose him to consolidate his position! So I have to go to Wutai now, and I will
Let’s talk about this issue with an old friend of mine and ask him to keep an eye on Guo Er. We can’t let Guo Er just dominate the family so easily!”
Yu Lei put down the wine bottle, climbed through the window and left.
After Yu Lei left, Zhang Jingxu began to change his face, "It's a bit troublesome now. The old boss seems to be preparing to support this Guo Er, because he had an all-night talk with Guo Er two days ago, and after Guo Er left
Both of them smiled from the bottom of their hearts! This is the conclusion I came to after a psychological evaluation, so I think I have reason to think that they have reached a consensus... If this is the case, then I will
It is possible that you and Liu Xing have become enemies, after all, the old master has regarded me as his direct disciple."
"What! Zhang Jingxu, you actually want to betray me!"
Looking at Liu Xing, who suddenly became an actor, Zhang Jingxu rolled his eyes and said, "Liu Xing, don't act at this time. There are no other people around to watch."
Just as Liu Xing was about to speak, a female voice sounded outside the door, "Well, I said I just arrived at the door, will you believe me?"
Hearing this voice, Liu Xing subconsciously took out a dagger from under the table, because this female voice sounded very unfamiliar to Liu Xing.
However, Zhang Jingxu was very calm. He first pressed his hand down to signal Liu Xing not to be nervous, then stood up and went to open the door.
Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that this female voice should be an acquaintance of Zhang Jingxu, and she should also be a player in the alliance.
When this person came in, Liu Xing realized that she seemed familiar. Zhang Jingxu seemed to have introduced her to him before, because she, like Zhang Jingxu, was a special player with his own tasks.
"Ling Yi, leader, you should still remember."
Zhang Jingxu said: "Her special mission has made new progress, so I asked her to come and meet you, because she will need our help very much in the future."
Ayi?
Liu Xing looked at Ling Yi with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "I see, then I will listen to Miss Ayi if you need our help! Since you are a member of our alliance, then we will definitely be able to help.
Help."
Ling Yi didn't waste any time and went directly to the topic: "The thing is like this, I have passed the master's examination in the past two days, so if nothing happens, I can leave the master directly in two days, and then I will
Head to Far West City and standby!"
"Far West City?!"
Liu Xing frowned, took a breath and said: "Far West City itself can be described as being in a state of crisis. Many people have chosen to leave, especially the disciples of those sects. Most of them have chosen to go home to rest, so
It’s really not that difficult to capture Far West City now.”
"Yes, according to my master, they have the strength to take down Far West City, but it is more difficult to control Far West City because they don't have many people, they are the kind who have quality but not quantity, so they take
It is easy to go down to Far West City, but it is impossible to defend Far West City. Moreover, Governor An of Far West City is a die-hard supporter of the Third Prince, so he cannot choose to surrender."
Ling Yi said seriously: "So I'm not sure what my master and the others think now, but as long as nothing unexpected happens, we should take down Far West City in the future and create some trouble for the third prince, otherwise we won't
I was specially sent to stay in Far West City."
"Then the question is, is Far West City really important?"
Zhang Jingxu directly followed Ling Yi's words and said: "We have actually discussed the situation of Far West City before. First of all, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, because Far West City does not have many defense methods, not even a city gate! So as long as the strength of the attacker is
Don't be too weak, then you can steadily capture Far West City; therefore, for the attacker, the only advantage of capturing Far West City is that the remaining supplies in the city can be used for your own use, which can lay a certain foundation for attacking the next target.
, but as long as the offensive side is well prepared, then it is dispensable."
"So in my opinion, the capture of Far West City can only be described as tasteless, that is, it is tasteless and a pity to abandon. If it goes smoothly, it can be captured, and this does not require the assistance of Ayi and others.
, after all, even a serious siege will not lose much troops, but after using secret agents like A Yi and the others, the success rate of the next operation will be greatly reduced! Therefore, if I am the commander of the attacking side,
Or, then I will not let A Yi and the others take action unless it is absolutely necessary."
Liu Xing agreed very much with Zhang Jingxu's statement, so he nodded and said: "Yes, some methods are used in one go, then fail again, and three times are exhausted. Therefore, these methods must be reserved for use at the right time in order to maximize benefits! Therefore, I
I think Ayi used to be an undercover agent and only stepped forward to provide intelligence to the enemy when needed! So..."
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
So Liu Xing looked at Zhang Jingxu and Ling Yi who were smiling and knew that his thoughts were the same as theirs.
"If our previous guess is correct, then Ayi and you are the people of the former prince, so if the forces left by the former prince do not want to rely on others, they should take this opportunity to make a comeback, that is, to win a few
After the city, the banner of the former prince was re-established and he became a feudal lord. Therefore, we can boldly guess that Guo Er may not be a subordinate of a certain prince, but a subordinate of the former prince. After all, his origin is also
It can be traced back to the period of the previous prince, or Feishimen is also a secret left behind by the previous prince."
"If I were the prince of the previous dynasty, when the situation was over, I might have asked some sects loyal to me to stand up and take over certain cities, and thus become the city lords or important members of these cities, so that when the time was right, I would
I can come out of the city and change the king's flag! But just taking down such an isolated city is naturally not a good thing. It can easily be surrounded and annihilated, so I have to take down other surrounding cities at the same time. In this way,
Several cities can be connected into one, so that there will be more maneuverable space."
Liu Xing picked up the cups on the table and began to use them as a city, "If Boyang City is the center, then Far West City must be the primary target, because it is not difficult at all to capture Far West City, and Far West City
The supplies were a great supplement to the former crown prince's side. After all, they didn't have a single city a few days ago, so naturally they couldn't prepare such complete supplies! As for how to defend Far West City, I think it was very important for the former prince's side.
It’s not a difficult thing to do, because the power they have accumulated in secret cannot be underestimated.”
"Alliance leader, you are right. There is only one main road from Boyang City to Far West City. Therefore, after the former prince captured these two cities, he can dominate each other, even if he faces two princes at the same time.
The soldiers and horses also have room to maneuver." Ling Yi nodded and said.
