Hogg said: "Actually, I don't even know him well.∷"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother, do you think who will benefit the most when Li Shuai is killed?"
Hogg pursed his lips. He had already thought about this problem a long time ago. Dakang was rumored to be the real culprit behind the assassination of Li Tianheng, so Dakang was obviously not the one who benefited. As for Sharjah, because of the Xichuan earthquake, it was also because of the Sharjah earthquake.
Jia is focused on the war against South Vietnam, so they have taken a wait-and-see attitude towards Xichuan in the recent stage. Naturally, they have not gained any benefits from it. A dying small country like South Vietnam? The horse bandits in Tianlang Mountain? These two cannot prosper at all.
There was a big storm. As for the Tianxiang Kingdom, although they sent envoys, after all, there was no direct border between Tianxiang Kingdom and Xichuan. If they wanted to get direct benefits, they had to cross the Hongmu River.
The only thing left is within Xichuan. His brother-in-law Li Honghan is undoubtedly a vested interest. After Li Tianheng was killed, he inherited everything and became the actual person in power in Xichuan. Hu Xiaotian's words were obviously hinting to himself that Li Honghan was the most powerful person.
The one who is suspected, this time he accused Dakang of plotting Li Tianheng's murder, which is basically a thief shouting to catch the thief. Often when encountering a too complicated situation, there is no need to carefully consider the mystery. The more deeply you think about it, the easier it is to be entangled.
The details are misleading. If you look at the appearance with the simplest thinking, you may easily find the key to the matter. The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Hu Xiaotian's words obviously hit the point.
Hogg thought for a while and said: "Li Honghan actually has no ability!"
Hu Xiaotian nodded. He deeply agreed with Hogg's judgment. He had been in contact with Li Honghan more than once. In several confrontations, Li Honghan had never defeated him. Now the two are no longer the same level of opponents. Li Honghan has a big heart.
A person who is narrow-minded, eager for quick success, and jealous of talents and abilities. What ability does such a person have to control Xichuan?
Hu Xiaotian said: "After Li Shuai was killed, everyone thought that there might be unrest within Xichuan. However, what everyone didn't expect was that instead of chaos, Xichuan's army was in order. This shows two possibilities. One is
, Li Honghan is a man of great wisdom and foolishness. He has been pretending in the past, but he is indeed talented and has extraordinary charm. He can quickly win over people's hearts and make the soldiers of Xichuan fall in love with him. "
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Hogg's lips. Based on his understanding of Li Honghan, Li Honghan definitely did not have such ability, let alone such charm.
Hu Xiaotian continued: "If we rule out this possibility, there must be an expert around Li Honghan who can control the Xichuan soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army in such a short period of time. This person is by no means an unknown person in Xichuan. As long as he
We can find this person with a little use of our brains."
Hogg's eyes couldn't help but light up. He secretly admired Hu Xiaotian's calm mind and meticulous thinking. Fortunately, Hu Xiaotian and himself were not hostile this time. It would be an extreme headache for anyone to have an opponent like him.
Hogg said: "After his father-in-law was killed, Li Honghan took action to suppress a group of peace advocates. On the surface, this move was to draw a clear line between Dakang and Dakang and identify suspicious individuals within, but in fact it was to eliminate dissidents."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Li Shuai's chief adviser Yao Wenqi was also imprisoned. It is said that this person tried his best to persuade Li Shuai to surrender to Dakang."
Hogg said: "Li Honghan is currently in the period of observing filial piety, and many things in the outside world have been left to Yang Haoran! This man is the adopted son of the commander-in-chief."
Hu Xiaotian had naturally heard of Yang Haoran's name, and he smiled and said: "Before he recognized Li Shuai as his father, this man was Zhao Yanjiang's adopted son, but later he killed his relatives with the same righteousness, and Lin Zefeng and Zhao Yanjiang tried to rescue the king of Zhou and return to Dakang.
I informed Li Shuai of the plan and personally led his troops to capture the two men."
Hogg frowned: "So Yang Haoran is very suspicious?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yang Haoran is not very old, he is younger than Li Honghan. He can climb to a high position in the Xichuan Army at such a young age, which shows his scheming. In just a few years, he can always stand up.
This kind of vision is rare among those who ultimately gain the upper hand."
Hogg said: "If there is really an internal problem with the death of my father-in-law, then this matter must have been planned in advance."
Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine bowl, and the two drank another bowl together.
Hogg said: "But there is one thing I still can't figure out. Xichuan is currently suffering from internal and external troubles and is struggling. The death of his father-in-law will only make Xichuan's situation worse. Could it be that they are so obsessed that they insist on doing this kind of thing where relatives hate enemies and make enemies happy?
What happened?" He raised his eyes: "Dakang is stationing troops on the border, is it going to launch an attack on Xichuan?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If Dakang intends to attack Xichuan, why send me here? Big brother should know that although Dakang's situation has improved in the past two years, his vitality has not recovered, which is not enough to support them in starting a war.
A war of this scale." Since you want to cooperate with Hogg, you might as well be more candid.
Hogg laughed: "You are the one who makes Dakang more worried, right? If they attack Xichuan, there may be a fire in the backyard."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Brother, do you think I am taking advantage of the situation?"
Hogg said meaningfully: "During the Xichuan earthquake, brother, you have occupied a lot of territory. Almost the entire northeast of Xichuan has fallen under your control. Brother Yu is so impressed by your methods."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone in the world thinks that I have taken a huge advantage, but who knows my suffering? If I go to that area, I will find that several cities have been completely reduced to ruins and the people have been displaced.
The suffering is unspeakable. In order to help the victims, now I have begun to live frugally."
Hogg secretly scolded this guy for taking advantage of him and said with a smile: "You can't just look at the immediate future, you must consider the long-term interests. I don't know what others think, but I deeply agree with my brother's approach. If it were me, I would also
I will definitely do it, but I may not be able to do it better than you, brother."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother, if you like it, I will give that place to you." He was just talking nonsense. There was such a long distance in between. Even if he was willing to give it away, Hogg would not be able to control it.
Of course Hoge understood that Hu Xiaotian was just being hypocritical. He chuckled and said, "I dare not accept such a big gift, but if brother is willing to give Xiezhou to me, I will be satisfied."
Xiezhou is not Hu Xiaotian's territory. Hu Xiaotian naturally has no control over it. No matter how confused Hoge is, he will not be unaware of this matter. Hu Xiaotian chuckled, how could he not hear that Hoge was making conditions? If the two
People can join forces to capture Xichuan, and Hogg wants to take away the land in Xiezhou. Xichuan is thousands of miles of fertile fields and fertile land, but most of it is concentrated in the Xiezhou area. As for the northeastern part that Hu Xiaotian currently occupies, it is a rolling mountainous area, and Xiezhou
The states cannot be compared with each other, and Hogg really made his plan go his way.
Hu Xiaotian nodded cheerfully: "If there ever comes a time, I can just take it." That's very generous, since Xiezhou doesn't belong to him anyway.
Hogg said: "It's a deal."
"It's a deal!"
The two touched the wine bowls, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time. In fact, neither of them took the other's words seriously. After drinking the bowl of wine, Hu Xiaotian said: "Does the elder brother know the current news about King Zhou?"
Hogg shook his head: "I heard that I can help you find out the news in Qiuhua Palace."
Hu Xiaotian leaned forward and said in a low voice: "There is also the matter of the Tianxiang Kingdom's mission. I hope my brother can help find out."
Hogg nodded and said: "If there is any news, I will notify my brother as soon as possible!"
In Xizhou Qiyuan Hall, Zhou Mo, the special envoy of Tianxiang Kingdom, pushed open the southernmost door of the east chamber, and the first thing he heard was a series of coughs.
Xiao Tianmu coughed violently. A white lopa covered his mouth with force. His body was as stooped as a shrimp, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs. It took him a long time to calm down, and two traces of blood appeared on his pale face.
Hong Tide moved away from Luo Pa. Although he couldn't see anything with his gray eyes, he could smell the strong smell of blood, which came from his body.
A sigh came from behind, and Zhou Mo handed a clean cotton towel into his hand.
Xiao Tianmu wiped the blood on his lips and sighed softly: "Brother, it seems that I won't live long."
Zhou Mo said: "There will always be a way..." After a pause, he added: "My adoptive father will not just sit back and ignore your illness."
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Tianmu's lips. The redness caused by the violent cough had quickly faded, and his skin became pale as paper. The veins on his forehead became more obvious, as if they would break free from the thin skin and burst out at any time.
He whispered: "Now I know that the greatest sorrow of people living in the world is not that they cannot be invisible, but that they cannot escape the shackles of others."
Zhou Mo patted his shoulder: "Don't think too much. Since you have chosen this path, you can only keep going."
Xiao Tianmu said: "I don't like this kind of life."
"I don't like it either, but we have no choice." Zhou Mo's eyes were sad.
Xiao Tianmu took a deep breath, trying to cheer himself up, but the fresh air irritated his sensitive and fragile lungs, and he began to cough loudly again.
Zhou Mo looked at him worriedly.
When Xiao Tianmu's cough subsided again, he gasped: "Have you contacted me yet?"
Zhou Mo nodded and said, "We've met..." There was a long silence.
Xiao Tianmu noticed something and said softly: "What did he say?"
Zhou Mo said: "Dakang came here this time to pursue his posthumous title of Li Tianheng. Who do you think the imperial envoy sent this time is?"
"Third brother?" Xiao Tianmu blurted out.
Zhou Mo looked at Xiao Tianmu in surprise, and really couldn't figure out how he knew it?
