President Li disdains matters like assassination, but that doesn't stop him from giving hints.
Before Yang Pass, after Guitian killed two more descendants of Qi's wealthy family who clamored madly that they wanted to kill him, the entire Yang Pass was pure.
It has become very obvious in this critical battle that a certain old man intends to consume the garrison soldiers of the five capitals and purge the children of the wealthy families of the five capitals first.
Of course, the wealthy families in the Five Capitals were not without options. They could deal with the Marquis of Qi in the past just by saying "I'm lazy."
Unfortunately, this time is different. Gui Tian, the bastard of Chen Guolai, said that he is the "nemesis of terminal illness". Aren't you lazy and suffering from cancer? I will give you some treatment and physical therapy, and maybe you will be cured.
Treat one, and one will die; treat two, and both will die.
The harshness of the battle situation posed an unprecedented challenge to the Qi army's main offensive force. This challenge made the powerful families in Wudu make a decision in private.
There are two ways. One is to rebel, kill the old Marquis of Qi, and then support the new monarch.
The second is to bite the bullet and knock down the Yang Guan. As long as it is knocked down, you can take a breath.
Many people's idea is to rebel and directly "clear the emperor's side". In fact, compared with storming Yangguan, the cost of "clearing the emperor's side" is much lower.
And as long as it succeeds, the rate of return will be very generous, and the entire situation will be completely reversed.
But the people of the Gao family in Qiancheng County were the first to object. The Gao family was dissatisfied with Qihou, but the Gao family was loyal to Qihou, or the king of Qi.
This kind of complicated mood can be found among the wealthy families in the five capitals.
Furthermore, from Gao's point of view, the Marquis of Qi was quite well prepared this time. If there was no Guita at that time, there would also be Kameda, Guitian, Kneeling... In short, a "cruel" tool man would definitely appear.
Come.
The most indispensable thing in this world is adventurous speculators. Guida is speculating, but as long as the opportunity is grasped, the future is bright.
The rewards obtained from Qi Hou are enough for a transnational wanderer like Gui Tian to take on all kinds of bottomless adventures.
If the tool man does not perform well, just kill him to appease public anger.
If you perform well, this is the current situation.
To be honest, the Gao family in Qianchengyi actually prepared for political assassination earlier than other wealthy families in the five capitals.
Gui Tian must die, but Gao discovered that Gui Tian, a beast of the Chen Kingdom, was actually wearing two layers of armor in the army camp under his command.
The armor is not produced locally in Qi, but is a high-end product from Hanzi.
Later, someone threw his sword in anger, and not even a hair fell off, which made the people of the Gao family even more fortunate that they didn't do anything stupid.
What worries Gao even more is that under Guitian's command, in addition to the rich uncles and brothers of the Gonglou family in Anyi, there are also warriors from the Beihai clan of the Yan state. These warriors are simply outlaws!
Not only was he extremely skilled in killing people on the battlefield, but his skills in private fighting were just as good as Linzi's "martial arts".
However, these guys still did not shock the Qiancheng Yi Gao family.
Gao Wan, the boss of the Gao family in Qianchengyi, accidentally discovered that he seemed to have seen an "acquaintance" when he inspected the Gao family's main formation!
Gao Wan did not have a photographic memory, but his memory was not bad. He was very sure that next to Guitian, the bastard, there was a sword-wielding disciple who was definitely not from Yan, but from Wu!
That weird bird-like accent can't be concealed no matter how hard Zhong Yan tries to cover it up.
In order to test, Gao Wan even sent a doctor from Laojun Township to kill some large pigs and send them to Guitian's camp.
And in order to dispel Gui Tian's suspicion, Laojun's township doctor even ate pork on his own initiative.
Pigs are good pigs. The fat of the castrated Jishui pigs is not thick, but the oil is still very fragrant and chewy. After boiling, it is already a very good "delicacy" with a lot of coarse salt.
.
And throughout the whole process, the township doctor wrote down the details that almost no one cared about.
One of the most special features is that the Suzhou people at this time mostly pronounced the sound "zhi" when talking about pigs.
The particularity of Wu's bird songs made Gao Wan boldly draw a conclusion: Guitian, this bitch, and the sword-holding retainer beside him should be the former personal guard of the Prince of Wu, the former Su Wei of the Gusu Palace.
Help the violent thugs!
With this conclusion, Gao Wan immediately persuaded all Gao family officials and countrymen to bow their heads for the time being, or in other words, to avoid the spotlight for the time being.
Nowadays, if there is a political vendetta with Guida, it is still unclear who will kill whom.
Their family has a great business and there is no need to fight to the death with a bunch of desperadoes.
Whoever wants to do it to the wealthy families in the five capitals will do it!
The withdrawal of the Gao family caused ridicule among the wealthy families in the five capitals, thinking that the Gao family had become a cowardless family, and how could they still have the spirit of competing for supremacy in the five capitals.
Unfortunately, when news came from the south that the man Li Jie had arrived in Xucheng, many of the remaining wealthy families in the five capitals conspired to organize an assassination that was very unknown.
In front of the Yangguan Formation, when two hundred crossbowmen suddenly aimed at Gui Tian on the lookout car amid a strange sound of trumpets, they fired two hundred arrows at a short distance. These people had a thousand choices of bows.
A crossbowman always has an accurate head.
What's more, some of the crossbowmen are only ten steps away from Guitian.
It was just ten steps away, but Guida was still not shot!
Because Guida, who seemed to be loosely guarding that day, was covered in three layers of armor!
The three-layer armored man was also wearing a seemingly exaggerated cloak. From an outsider's perspective, it was difficult to see the details.
Even when that weird horn sound sounded, Guida directly hugged a ball on the watch car.
Even if he was shot into a hedgehog, Guida is still a lively hedgehog.
Tension, excitement, adventure...exaggeration!
If there was even the slightest deviation from this amazing adventure, Guida would die.
However, these days, even on both sides of the Jishui River, a saying about Huaizhong City has begun to spread.
You may not lose if you bet!
Shuttle!
The people of the Gao family in Qianchengyi were also frightened by Guida's madness. These were not just desperadoes, they were a group of lunatics.
After the failed assassination attempt in front of the Yangguan Formation, Guida certainly would not let these losers go.
As a result, Zihe, the official of Zouyi in Lu State, was stunned and watched from a distance at the top of Yangguan City as the people of Qi State were bleeding more than two hundred soldiers one by one on their own positions.
Killing someone is like killing a bastard. He grabs his hair, straightens his head and neck, and stabs him with a click!
The executioners all looked normal, and some even ate meat while killing people. The meat was sent to the labor force by the Gao family in Qianchengyi...
Some wealthy people from Wudu who thought they had a plan were disgusted at that time.
The previous family glory was completely crushed by Gui Tian's fierceness, cruelty and cruelty at this moment.
What's even more frightening is that when the Marquis of Qi learned the news, his "anger" was directed at the wealthy families of the Five Capitals.
The tide is over!
However, what makes people feel incredible is that after the formation killed more than two hundred elite crossbowmen from the powerful families of Wudu, the morale of the Qi army camp did not plummet. Instead, it looked a bit solemn.
The orders given by Guida were actually carried out ten times and a hundred times more resolutely than before.
This subtle change made Gao Wan shed a cold sweat involuntarily.
However, when he found that the opinions on storming Yangguan were finally unified, he was a little lucky. At least now, he no longer had to make random guesses. After conquering Yangguan, he could always take a breath.
But when the news came to Wenshui that the man Li Jie was offering sacrifices to the late Wu "Prince" in Xucheng, the situation changed again.
The sword-holding disciples beside Gui Tian seemed to be preparing to say goodbye.
"Those warriors with weird accents have left the camp?"
"Exactly."
The confidant who was inquiring about the information nodded, then hesitated, and whispered to Gao Wan, "It's just that a few of them were a little strange. They went all the way to Wuyanyi and even entered the Junshang camp."
"Um?!"
Gao Wan suddenly lost his mind. Was this group of mad dog-like desperadoes arranged by your Majesty?
Guida was actually invited by your Majesty?
The entire situation, the outcome of the entire world, is actually all part of your Majesty’s calculations?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked Gao Wan became. He even guessed that from the beginning, the Marquis of Qi was thinking about tormenting the wealthy families of the five capitals and preparing for the selection of the prince in the future?!
Once your mind is broadened, all kinds of ideas suddenly become unstoppable.
What Gao Wan didn't know was that although the desperadoes had indeed entered Qihou's camp, it was not Qihou who met them.
It was a counselor of the Marquis of Qi who was a great talent in the Chu State and called himself "Chu Qi".
Just after the news of the man Li Jie reached Wenshui for the second time, Chu Qi was waiting. Some things must be settled after all.
"Desperate savage, see Dazai!"
"You were killing people like crazy before Yangguan, but Wu Jia's prestige has not diminished..."
"Chu Qi", who was whisking his beard, looked at these desperadoes leaving the Yangguan Formation with a calm expression.
"Dazai, I am going to Yan State, and I would like to ask for advice from Dazai. A few years ago, we traveled to both sides of the Yishui River, searching for thousands of miles. We thought it was Master A of Yan State who did it. Who would have thought that it was actually Master Shen of Yan State who deceived me?
.”
"Yan Shen is conceited and thinks he can play with the world's heroes. I predict that this person will kill his father and ascend to the throne."
"Chu Qi", who spoke with a very firm tone, had carefully observed the successors of various countries. When he was fishing in Wei State, he found that the Marquis of Wei was a mentally retarded person who was greedy for petty gains, so he quickly left.
I originally wanted to earn a generous pension, but unfortunately, he didn't look down on Wei Hou's virtue of "getting carried away at the sight of small profits". He was really such a waste, that is, he had done something with "Zheng Chengzi".
As long as "Zheng Chengzi" breaks up with the Zheng clan and directly ascends to the throne and becomes the Marquis of Zheng, the Marquis of Wei will be dead.
You must know that in the previous battle between Wei and Zheng, "Zheng Chengzi" who fought against the Marquis of Wei, in addition to dealing with foreign enemies, most of his energy was focused on keeping an eye on the domestic rebel forces.
"Chu Qi" is not sure whether one-third of Zheng's strength has been exerted, but a reasonable calculation shows that as long as Zheng is completely controlled by "Zheng Chengzi", even if the internal power of Zheng is reduced, the overall mobilization power will definitely be greater.
Before that, it needs to be greatly improved.
Marquis Wei used his head to play with Zheng Guo.
But this time, because the Marquis of Qi joined the other princes in Wuyan, Zheng Chengzi and the Marquis of Wei had reached a formal armistice agreement.
The Marquis of Qi was the middleman, and both sides were on the same level. It looked like hello, me, and everyone, but from another perspective, it is not difficult to see that Zheng Chengzi had put aside the concerns of foreign enemies and could confidently and boldly kill the domestic opposition.
In the past, Zheng Chengzi might have had some scruples, but now, he has absolutely no way out.
Judging from the experience of "Chu Qi", as long as Zheng Chengzi promised to attack and defend the country and divide its territory after coming to power, Zheng's new rich would support him without hesitation.
Anyone who objects will be dead.
Between Wei and Zheng, "Chu Qi" predicted that Zheng Guo would win in the end. As for the final winner, "Chu Qi" was too lazy to care.
As for Yan State, this member of the old Ji family in the North was not favored by "Chu Qi" at all because of his inherent deficiencies.
Even the man Li Jie, when he started his career, his status as the "Lord of the Hundred Sands" and the "Baisha" he commanded were among the granaries of Wuyue.
What does Yan have?
It is ripe once a year, and the yield per mu is forty kilograms.
The territory of the country is large, stretching for three thousand miles, but even if it is divided into large areas, the population is sparse, and they have to live together with Rong and Di.
There are even some officials who are directly from Rongdi, which shows the scarcity of their talents.
In the opinion of "Chu Qi", such a country may still have hope if it has three or four generations of wise kings.
As long as there is a generation of heroes among them, it is not impossible to use the marginal areas of Xianxun, Changdi, Danhao, Qi, Jin, Wei, etc. to expand their living space.
The current crown prince Shen of the Yan Kingdom, "Chu Qi" recognized his talents, but his talents did not match the stage at all.
The Yan State is too small and too weak. It may be okay to fight with the Rong and Di. However, if the overlord among the princes fights, the Yan State will have a chance to win unless the overlord-level country is stupid and self-destructs.
When Prince Shen was still the son of the Yan Kingdom, he stirred up the general trend of the world by destroying the "mutual kings of Wu and Jin". In the end, it was actually unimportant whether he contributed to it or not.
As a result, the world was in chaos, and Yan became one of the few "hometowns of peace" in the past few years.
The place is a bit remote, but peaceful.
The living conditions are a bit more difficult, but peaceful.
Resources are indeed scarce, but peaceful.
The people are indeed a little more aggressive, but they are peaceful.
Taiping is the biggest advantage these days.
However, this advantage will soon be gone.
"Chu Qi" has observed Prince Shen's operations. He has a tolerant and strong character and is ruthless and decisive in his actions. He is qualified as a hero, but unfortunately he is too eager for success.
Prince Shen had not considered at all how he would treat the Yan State when all the big countries recovered.
A punitive war is absolutely indispensable.
And at that point, could Yan State let Prince Shen go?
Maybe the monarchs and ministers of Yan State will have to borrow someone else's head.
In order to avoid this situation, Prince Shen must change from "young king" to "jun".
Because only in this way, no one in the Yan Kingdom will borrow someone else's head.
It's a pity that the Marquis of Yan is still alive. If he doesn't die, how can the prince ascend to the throne?
Therefore, "Chu Qi" concluded that Prince Shen would definitely kill his father and ascend to the throne, but the form and means would be different.
And this process of patricide will create opportunities for outsiders to assassinate Prince Shen!
