"What, how many of the remaining six counties in Jiangdong do you want?"
Yang Guang's face was gloomy, and he stared at Lei Hu with a pair of stern eyes. His tone was unkind, as if he was going to fall out if he disagreed with him, and sneered: "You really want to be the real Duke Wu!"
The Duke of Wu in the words naturally refers to the leader of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period.
"How much control does Your Majesty still have over the South?"
Lei Hu's expression was calm, and he smiled leisurely and said: "Rather than end up taking advantage of those aristocratic families, it is better for me to get benefits, and at least help His Majesty solve some troubles!"
"Why, Duke Wu is not optimistic about my expedition to Goguryeo?"
Yang Guang's eyes were cold, and the look he looked at Lei Hu was full of anger and inquiry.
As for the six counties in Jiangdong, they are nothing to him.
Anyway, Lei Hu has already captured three of the counties, so it doesn't matter if he gives the other three counties to this guy. In his mind, the south is synonymous with remote areas, and it doesn't deserve much attention from him at all.
The key is that Lei Hu's words stung Yang Guang's sensitive mind.
He knew how the first expedition to Goguryeo was defeated, but he couldn't get angry because he had already suppressed his anger.
Lei Hu did not answer directly, but changed the subject and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is better to set a small goal first!"
"What kind of small goal does Wu Guogong think I should set?"
Yang Guang's tone was unkind and he looked at Lei Hu with a very dissatisfied look.
"For example, take Liaodong City and drive all the Goguryeo forces out of Liaodong!"
Lei Hu looked calm as usual and said with a smile: "In any case, it can be considered an improvement!"
"Presumptuous, are you laughing at me?"
Yang Guang was furious, looking at Lei Hu with murderous intent, and said coldly: "It's not up to Duke Wu to tell me how I should act!"
This matter can be regarded as Yang Guang's sore foot, which is very criticized.
The last time they conquered Goguryeo, the Sui army had originally been able to defeat Liaodong City long ago. However, Yang Guang played a trick and did not have his order to easily attack the surrendered Liaodong City.
As a result, the Goguryeo garrison in Liaodong City relied on such a method to restrain hundreds of thousands of Sui troops from moving inside the city. It was a huge joke in the history of war.
Seeing that Lei Hu dared to talk about this matter, how could Yang Guang not suspect that he had ulterior motives and was doing it for his own good on the surface, but was secretly laughing at him?
With Yang Guang's arrogance, how could he possibly endure it?
If he hadn't known that he couldn't take down the thunder tiger, with Yang Guang's violent temper, he might have ordered the guards around him to capture the thunder tiger and behead him immediately.
"Your Majesty, please consider your proposal. I am waiting for your Majesty's reply!"
Ignoring Yang Guang's furious mood, Lei Hu said goodbye and turned away, leaving only the Sui Emperor who looked angry and somewhat at a loss.
"Shadow Guard, we were sure to take down Lei Hu just now!"
After a long time, Yang Guang's irritable mood calmed down. As if all the strength in his body had been drained, he leaned softly on the dragon chair and spoke calmly.
At this time, there were no eunuchs or maids in the temporary palace. Yang Guang's voice was not loud enough to carry far, and it was not clear whether he was mumbling to himself or talking to someone.
"Your Majesty, I have no confidence at all!"
Suddenly, a faint shadow appeared beside a pillar not far from Yang Guang. The figure was blurry as if it might disappear at any time, but the words he spoke were clearly audible: "Wu Guogong has a world-class cultivation, and he is sitting next to His Majesty.
But I can’t feel the slightest breath!”
"How to say?"
Yang Guangqiang braced himself and said coldly: "Can Thunder Tiger change a living person?"
It's not that he doesn't know any martial arts, his own strength is at the second-rate level in the world, but he just doesn't pay too much attention to it. Otherwise, with the resources at the disposal of the Yang family, he can easily cultivate to the innate first-rate level.
He was quite dissatisfied with what the Shadow Guard said. Although he had a general understanding of high-level battles between strong opponents, he also knew the consequences of not being able to capture the opponent's aura.
Seeing Yang Guang's displeasure, the shadow guard smiled bitterly and said: "My subordinates are also helpless, the gap in strength is a bit big!"
It is said that when masters compete, their eyes are no longer of much use, but more for capturing Qi movements. Otherwise, for a master of Qinggong like Shi Zhixuan, what he sees with his eyes is probably his shadow.
"Then, with Lei Hu's strength, can he kill Fu Cailin?"
Yang Guang restrained his anger and said in a deep voice: "Give him a chance!"
"There's a lot of confidence!"
The shadow guard didn't dare to vouch for it, and affirmed: "But it is certain that he will be severely injured!"
"Then, please ask him to come over and talk about it again!"
Yang Guang's expression was a bit ugly. He hated the sneak attacks carried out by guys like Yijian Master Cai Lin, and no one wanted to be remembered by a master master all the time.
Especially when this grand master can be so shameless as to carry out a sneak attack, it is even more troublesome.
…
"Has your Majesty made up his mind?"
Lei Hu left and came back again, with a calm smile on his face and asked: "Would you like to ask the Taoist master Ning Daoqi to come over first, and then we can bring it up after you try it?"
It seemed like a well-intentioned reminder, but it made Yang Guang feel very angry.
"Don't mention this Taoist scum to me!"
Yang Guangda waved his hand and said rudely: "Obviously he is a master of the Taoist sect, but he is entangled with the Buddhist sect. I feel ashamed for the Taoist sect!"
The reason why he said this is not that Yang Guang didn't ask someone to ask Ning Daoqi to come out to help.
Because of Lei Hu's special status as a vassal town, Yang Guang was reminded by the secret guards around him, and the first person he looked for was Ning Daoqi, the Taoist master.
As a result, this person actually played the disappearing trick with him.
As an emperor, Yang Guang naturally had very good information channels, and he was protected by experts from the Yinkui sect. He quickly figured out what was going on with Ning Daoqi.
But this kind of news almost made him angry to death.
Ning Daoqi simply ignored the greetings from the higher-ups of the Taoist sect and went directly to Cihang Jingzhai to hide. It was simply unreasonable.
Yang Guang was quite afraid of Buddhism, so he naturally did not want to seek bad luck from Cihang Jingzhai, so he could only keep his depression in his heart and blacklisted Taoism and Ning Daoqi, waiting to deal with them after the success of Goguryeo.
Lei Hu didn't care about anything. If Lei Hu hadn't been too powerful to take down, and the upcoming battle of Goguryeo would be without this protector, Yang Guang would have wanted to just turn against him.
Smiling softly, Lei Hu stopped trying to test Yang Guang's patience and said directly: "As long as your majesty agrees to hand over all the six eastern counties to the management of me, and your majesty's safety during the expedition to Goguryeo will be taken care of by me, I will definitely kill Fu Cailin."
I will at least inflict heavy damage on him, and at the same time, I will also promise to help Master Wang capture Liaodong City!"
"Oh, Mr. Wu Guo has such a loud tone!"
Yang Guang sneered: "Liaodong City is not that easy to get!"
hehe……
Lei Hu smiled but said nothing. If a master level or above really didn't care about face, it would be really easy to attack the city. He said without any nonsense: "Then let me take action first, and wait until Liaodong City is captured."
What will your Majesty do next?"
"good!"
Yang Guang responded directly and said proudly: "I will take a good look at Wu Guogong's performance!"
In his eyes, there was a hint of vague cruelty.
Lei Hu's actions made him feel disgusted and at the same time, he also felt extremely fearful and defensive.
The six counties in Jiangdong represent the territory of the Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period. With Leihu's ability to govern the place, it is certain that in ten years this place will become a prosperous and economically developed place, and its overall strength will be stronger than that of the Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period.
A lot.
It is true that Yang Guang is wary of the Guanlong Military Group, but he is also dissatisfied with the emerging warlord forces like Lei Hu. Not only are they still useful, but he is also wary of this guy's tyrannical force. Yang Guang will find a way to defeat Lei Hu no matter what.
Trap and kill.
Now the expedition to Goguryeo is more important than to earn back face. After destroying Goguryeo and freeing up our hands, it will not be too late to deal with a wolfish and ambitious being like Lei Hu.
Not only Leihu needs to be dealt with, but also the powerful families of the Guanlong Military Group must be dealt with!
In other words, Lei Hu didn't know what Yang Guang was thinking. If he knew, he would probably laugh out loud.
What a beautiful thought!
Apparently, this person did not take into consideration the previous reminder that the Guanlong Military Group would not make Yang Guang proud.
He is really overconfident, but he doesn't know what Yang Guang will think when Yang Xuangan rebels?
Obviously, Yang Xuangan's rebellion is inseparable from the Guanlong Military Group. Even if Lei Hu is currently secretly secretly with Yang Guangfa, regardless of whether he believes it or not, the Guanlong Military Group can also introduce another person to rebel.
Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, both Yang Jian and Yang Guang have not been merciless at all in killing important ministers and future ministers. They have accumulated a lot of resentment for a long time, and they only need a little provocation to explode with amazing power.
Yang Xuangan is just a more outstanding representative, but whether it is Shi Wansui, He Ruobi, or Gao Ying, they are all powerful men in the family, and their descendants are not weak. There are too many roles that can lead the way.
This is the consequence of improperly winning the country. The relationship between the important ministers in the DPRK and China is so intricate that it is impossible to completely sort it out.
It was okay when the Sui Dynasty was powerful. Now that the Great Sui Dynasty is in decline, the evil spirits and snake gods lurking in the dark will naturally not continue to hide. When Yang Xuangan rebels and the whole Northland is completely in chaos, we will know how powerful the forces behind the scenes are.
Lei Hu only thought about these in his mind and didn't pay too much attention to them.
After receiving Yang Guang's secret order to take charge of the six counties in Jiangdong, he immediately sent the news back to his territory and asked the officials of the Duke's Mansion to be ready to receive it.
As for himself, he quietly hid among Yang Guang's palace guards. When the second expedition to Goguryeo began, he followed Yang Guang into Goguryeo to hunt for Yijian Master Cailin.
But what he didn't know was that a secret message quickly spread among the high-level officials of Goguryeo.
The world's best master, Duke Wu of the Sui Dynasty, Lei Hu, was invited by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to participate in the expedition to Goguryeo and serve as a vanguard to attack Liaodong City.
He also threatened to break through the defense of Liaodong City with one person and issued a military order.
Goguryeo's high-level officials were in an uproar after hearing the news. They immediately invited Master Yijian, Cailin, to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, they secretly made preparations in Liaodong City to ambush the world's best master!
