The rebel army of the Justice Cult was wiped out in Bingzhou Grassland, but this does not mean that the Justice Cult has been eradicated in the empire.
There are many followers of the Justice Cult in the empire. Of course, those who rebel under the pretext of avenging Lin Shaoyu and bringing light to troubled times may not all be followers of the Justice Cult.
However, this flag is really easy to use, and there is no patent right now. If everyone can use it, why not use it.
"If you have time, pay attention to this group of people. See if any of them can make a big noise."
On this day, Cheng Dalei was sitting in the pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion, looking through the information sent by A Xi and giving instructions.
"Yes, I have been keeping an eye on these people. Currently they are just causing some trouble to the princes everywhere, but I haven't seen any potential among them yet."
"Of course, the focus is still on the conflict between Song Bokang and Baili Sheng. After all, it happened under our noses. No matter who defeats whom in the end, it will have an impact on us." Cheng Dalei.
"yes."
Ah Xi agreed, and He Shen and Liu Bei came over at this time, and Ah Xi wanted to leave. It was impossible for the three of them to talk about any confidential matters, and it was not convenient for him to hear.
"Axi happens to be here, and I have something to discuss with the boss," Heshen said.
Ah Xi stopped, wondering in his heart that there was something that required his participation.
Seeing He Shen's serious expression, Cheng Dalei thought to himself that something had happened. It shouldn't have happened. He had been away from the village for so long and everything was fine. He shouldn't have had an accident just after he came back.
"The boss should already know that Liangzhou City is already planning to take action against Bailixheng." Heshen said.
Cheng Dalei nodded and looked at He Shen in confusion, still not knowing what he wanted to say.
"This is our opportunity." He Shen said excitedly: "The two families were fighting to the death, and we just took advantage of it and took Liangzhou in one fell swoop."
Looking at his eager eyes, Cheng Dalei suddenly understood the purpose of his visit. And facing He Shen, this feeling was not unfamiliar to Cheng Dalei.
Shanzhai is currently divided into two factions. One is the main fighting faction. This faction is headed by He Shen, Guan Yu and others. All the princes are preparing to compete for the world, and Toad City already has a strong force, which may not be unable to compete with the princes of the world.
The other faction is the peace faction, which is in the minority. They have no ambitions in this troubled world. They only want their wives and children to live a stable life in the troubled times.
In fact, there is another group. No one knows what they are thinking and they do nothing all day long. The representatives of this group are Liu Bei, Xu Shenji, and... Cheng Dalei.
He Shen has tested Cheng Dalei's intentions more than once, but until now he has not been able to make a rough guess. This does not mean that Cheng Dalei has a deep palace, he has almost no palace. The key is that Cheng Dalei does not know what he wants.
Sweeping the world and sitting on the supreme chair, it would be wrong to say that Cheng Dalei had no idea at all. But this matter is not something that can be done easily. Cheng Dalei does not feel that he has the ability to manage a country, and he is not a
Model worker. If he really sat on that chair, he would probably be a fool.
Moreover, Cheng Dalei understands one thing very well. On this card table in troubled times, what determines the outcome is not who wins more at the beginning, but who survives to the end. Only those who survive to the end are qualified to participate in the final showdown.
.Before, no matter how many times you won, a single failure would make you lose everything.
He Shen may not be able to understand this.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term and we cannot make any arbitrary decisions." Cheng Dalei said slowly after thinking for a while.
He Shen once again got the answer he wanted from Cheng Dalei. He was an ambitious man, and the result he was most looking forward to was that after being deceived by him, Cheng Dalei went into battle with an ax in his hand. Liangzhou was nothing, he wiped out the thirteen states of the empire along the way.
, directly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
"Master, Liangzhou has thousands of miles of fertile land. Now that we want to take Liangzhou, it is like searching for something. There is a saying that goes well, if God does not take it, you will be punished by it."
Cheng Dalei understood that he had to give He Shen an explanation today. He was an ambitious person. If he didn't know that Cheng Dalei couldn't satisfy his ambition, he would definitely turn around and leave and join someone else. For He Shen, Cheng Dalei even used his leader
Hao Hao has been building up his favorability for a long time, but I don’t dare to expect him to have such a thing as loyalty.
And once such a talent takes refuge with others, he will inevitably become a serious problem over time. If he cannot be kept, the only option is to kill him...
This thought flashed away, and Cheng Dalei flashed across He Shen unintentionally. He Shen was startled, and just for a moment, he felt like he was being targeted by death.
At this moment, breathing became difficult, and he said: "Master..."
"Ah, haha." Cheng Dalei suddenly came to his senses, waved his hand and said: "I understand the intention of Mr. He, isn't it just to take this opportunity to take Liangzhou? But we still need to think carefully, is it right to occupy Liangzhou?
a good thing?"
"Isn't this... expanding the territory a good thing?"
"Not necessarily. Behind Song Bokang is the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and behind Baili Sheng is the support of the General's Mansion. If we swallow up their territory, we will inevitably become the enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. Becoming an enemy of both of them is almost impossible.
It is a disadvantage that the representative becomes the enemy of the entire empire." Cheng Dalei said slowly: "Even if we really occupy Liangzhou, it may not be a good thing for us. Once a war breaks out, a large number of prisoners and refugees will flow into Toad City. We
I worked so hard to save some money, but it was all wiped out by them."
"This..." He Shen calmed down: "Are we just going to watch this opportunity slip away from us?"
"I didn't say anything about not doing anything." Cheng Dalei laughed and said: "The key is not to be too anxious, but to wait and see what happens and look for suitable opportunities. If the right time, place and people are all right, it may not be impossible to take Liangzhou.
You still have to adapt to circumstances.”
He Shen thought about it carefully and felt that Cheng Dalei's words may not be unreasonable. He is a rare talent for managing internal affairs, and he is really not as good as Cheng Dalei when it comes to military and war matters. If you want to take over the entire Liangzhou, you will not rely on impulse.
Something that can be successful.
"I understand. I will definitely consider this matter carefully when I go back. I will take a long-term approach and make this matter perfect."
Yes, he is still evil-minded.
Cheng Dalei curled his lips, looked at Liu Bei, and said, "Brother Liu, why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do. I came here with you." Liu Bei looked innocent: "I don't have any opinion on this matter."
Cheng Dalei shook his head helplessly. He was not Liu Bei. He couldn't think about anything.
