Everyone knows that good advice can be harsh to the ears, but not everyone can do it, at least not Fang Zhenhai now.
In the past, there was Gao Jiande under Fang Zhenhai who was against him, but now that Gao Jiande is dead, Master Yunhai has no courage to oppose Fang Zhenhai, so Gu Cheng can also speak out his "loyalty" freely, making Fang Zhenhai even more loyal.
of expansion.
For example, Gu Cheng estimated that Fang Zhenhai would not refuse the move of making Fang Zhenhai the leader of the alliance.
Right now, Zhenhai has long regarded himself as the king of the rebels in Nanjiu County. He even thinks that he is a rebel who overthrew the imperial court rather than a rebel. If an alliance is really formed, he will certainly not be able to give up the position of leader.
come out.
After listening to Gu Cheng's words, Fang Zhenhai thought for a moment, nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's a good idea, Gu Cheng, you will never let me down."
Master Yunhai frowned and said: "But what if the other rebel forces are unwilling? Those people are either unruly or have high self-esteem. For example, Dou Guangquan, although his strength is not as good as ours, he is very senior. Although he is not
He will compete with us for the position of alliance leader, but he will definitely not recognize you, Heavenly King, as the alliance leader."
Before Fang Zhenhai spoke, Gu Cheng chuckled and said: "The real person is worrying too much. Of course they are not willing, but what can they do if they are not willing? Do they have the qualifications to be unwilling?
The power of the King of Heaven is now greater than that of them. If anyone is unwilling, then Zhang Xian will be their fate!"
Fang Zhenhai acts in a strong and domineering manner and doesn't like to think too much.
Even when he killed Bei Xuan's army and beheaded Bei Shaojie, he never thought about how he would face the imperial court's counterattack in the future. Instead, he killed first and then talked about it.
Now Gu Cheng's rough response is more in line with his taste.
Fang Zhenhai nodded and said: "Indeed, there are some things that they are not qualified to choose. Gu Cheng, I will leave this matter to you. Let them send people to discuss the matter first, so as not to disappoint me."
Gu Cheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, King of Heaven!"
After everyone dispersed, Gu Cheng walked out of the hall, but Master Yunhai stopped in front of Gu Cheng at some point, stared at him closely and said, "Master Gu, I have something I want to tell you."
Gu Cheng said with a smile on his face: "What the real person wants to say, I am all ears."
"Whose person are you!" Master Yunhai said word by word.
Gu Cheng was surprised and said: "What did the real person say? Of course I belong to the King of Heaven, who else could I belong to?"
Master Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Master Gu, you are a smart person. I knew you were a smart person from the time you used your power to solve the Siji Sect's affairs.
Since this is the case, you should know what the current state of the Chaos Army and the current King of Heaven is.
Although it seems prosperous, it is full of loopholes.
After Gao Jiande's death, the King of Heaven could no longer see himself clearly, but you gave him such an idea. Do you know that the rebel army and the King of Heaven may become the target of public criticism in the future?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong. Anyone who can achieve great things has enemies all over the world.
Besides, you know the state of the King of Heaven right now. The King of Heaven is very happy with the idea I came up with. Even if I don't say anything about this kind of thing, the King of Heaven may take the idea to other rebels at some point.
If the real person felt that this matter was inappropriate, why didn't he object before?"
Master Yunhai stared at Gu Cheng for a long time, and Gu Cheng also looked at him without fear. Finally, Master Yunhai just sighed and turned around to leave.
What if he sensed something was wrong with Gu Cheng? Gu Cheng's idea was exactly what Fang Zhenhai had in mind.
Moreover, he himself has a kind of cautious and self-protective character, and he would not do anything that would be difficult and thankless to contradict Fang Zhenhai.
Watching Master Yunhai leave, Gu Cheng gently shook his head.
Once Gao Jiande died, Fang Zhenhai no longer had anyone under his command who could tell the truth. He was really not far from being destroyed.
Although Gu Cheng is adding fuel to the fire here, Fang Zhenhai's own character also plays a huge role.
Regarding the alliance, Gu Cheng had letters sent to Dou Guangquan and others one by one, agreeing that one month later, they would send someone to Guangling City to discuss the alliance.
This group of people met immediately after seeing the news, and everyone's expressions were extremely gloomy.
The fat on Zhendinguoluo's face could not help but tremble, and he cursed angrily: "Fang Zhenhai, has he lost his mind and gone crazy? Do you really think you are the king of heaven?"
Jiang Wuyan sneered and said: "The rebel army took action and destroyed Zhang Xian with lightning speed. Now it is very majestic.
Fang Zhenhai not only wants to be the king of heaven, but now he may even want to be the emperor.
Mr. Dou, please tell me, if Fang Zhenhai wants to form this alliance, should we go or not?"
Dou Guangquan sighed: "You may not know, but I just received the news that Gao Jiande died and was eradicated by Fang Zhenhai himself.
I have been living in Nanjiu County all my life, and I have seen all kinds of people, including those with amazing talents and beauty, those who are arrogant and arrogant, or those who have great ambitions.
I thought Fang Zhenhai was the latter, but unfortunately he is not. The Fang Zhenhai now is no longer the Fang Zhenhai he used to be. He dared to kill even the brothers he worshiped, and didn't care about his reputation at all. What else does he not dare to do now?
You have all seen Zhang Xian's ending. The insurrectionary army is powerful and Fang Zhenhai's cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth level. We fight alone, and no one is his opponent.
Even if we join forces to fight against the rebel army, our strength will definitely be severely damaged. At that time, there will be no need for the imperial court to annihilate us, we can defeat ourselves first.
So we can't go against Fang Zhenhai right now. Let's send someone over first to see what's going on. Then we'll have to compromise and delay time.
If Fang Zhenhai continues like this, he will kill himself without us taking action."
Everyone else nodded. Dou Guangquan was the oldest and most knowledgeable among the rebel bandits in Nanjiu County. His idea was quite reliable.
After the agreement was made, everyone also responded to the rebel army. Gu Cheng began to arrange the rebel alliance in a month. Of course, it would be called the rebel alliance to the outside world.
Moreover, the world in Nanyi County was not at peace during this period. They had been dissatisfied with a month's tax due to the insurgent army's forced taxation, and they were secretly cursing Fang Zhenhai.
At this time, they learned that a rebel alliance was going to be held in Zhenhai a month later, and they were secretly cooperating with each other to prepare to forcefully protest against Fang Zhenhai. They did not believe that Fang Zhenhai could ignore the power of the entire Nanyi County Wulin.
During this period of time, Gu Cheng had some leisure time. He sent troops to defend the entire Guangling City every day and just patrolled the surrounding area.
However, during this period, Gu Cheng was thinking about when Qiu Erniang was going to take action?
Nanyi County was not completely closed. As Fang Zhenhai ruled for a long time, other caravans would come in and out and come back with news. Gu Cheng had not really heard about the mobilization of the imperial army.
.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden. Although the number of a large army in the imperial court is not fixed, there are at least tens of thousands of people. Once mobilized, it will inevitably be noticed.
Could it be that Qiu Erniang has forgotten herself?
Gu Cheng was thinking this, and as soon as he opened the door of his house, he saw an enchanting figure in black standing inside the house.
Gu Cheng slammed the door shut, let out a long breath and said, "I said, can you tell me in advance when you show up? Don't always do it so suddenly?"
Qiu Erniang turned around and stared at Gu Cheng with a very strange look, as if she was looking at something strange.
Gu Cheng was surprised and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qiu Erniang shook her head and said: "I'm just curious. What you have done in the past few months has been really unexpected. Not only did you achieve the position of the Eight Great Vajras, you even became Fang Zhenhai's top confidant.
You were the one who instigated Gao Jiande's death, right? Tsk tsk, it's unexpected, it's really unexpected. If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn't have had to waste so much effort to recruit so many people."
What Gu Cheng did during this period was really beyond Qiu Erniang's expectations.
When she came to see Gu Cheng, she actually didn't take him too seriously. After all, Gu Cheng's power and status were limited at that time. It would have been too hasty for her to expect him to overthrow Fang Zhenhai.
So when Qiu Erniang went to trade with Gu Cheng, she just casually planted a chess piece under Fang Zhenhai's command, hoping that when the actual action was taken, she could provide them with some intelligence and internal responses, which would be the icing on the cake.
In the end, who would have thought that after not seeing each other for several months, this chess piece would grow into a towering tree, playing a very important role under Fang Zhenhai's command, and even stir up turmoil in the entire Nanyi County, and they would get rid of Fang before they could.
Gao Jiande, a general under Zhenhai!
This is no longer just the icing on the cake, it can even affect their entire plan, which is of course a good thing.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "I also feel that it is unexpected. Your speed is really too slow. If you don't show up, I will be able to get to the top of the Eight Vajras."
Now you should be able to talk about your plan, right? I know all the forces under Fang Zhenhai's command, but I have not heard of any news about the mobilization of the imperial army."
A mysterious smile appeared on Qiu Erniang's charming face: "The imperial court has a lot of things going on right now, and no army from any county can be mobilized.
But who said that to get rid of Fang Zhenhai, we have to mobilize the army?
Directly find a way to enter Guangling City and kill Fang Zhenhai and all the masters under his command in one battle. The other reckless soldiers will defeat them without attacking and will not succeed.
I have brought people from the capital, and I had prepared a plan originally, but after seeing that you have reached this level, I have to modify my plan, and it should be much easier this time."
