Chapter 726 The Battle of the Boundary Bridge is Over
"Isn't the second brother who killed Zhang Ning?"
"no!"
Li Qi answered firmly, making a city lord stunned for a long time without coming to his senses. He could stuff a salted duck egg into his mouth. We can't blame A Niu for losing his composure. This news was indeed a bit unexpected, and Chen Gong and Pang Tong were also a little surprised.
It’s not Li Qi’s move, who is the murderer?
The envoy Cao Cao and the envoy Yuan Shao were sent to Luoyang to spy on the information about the Yellow Turban treasure, and took dozens of dead soldiers to take the opportunity to act. Their martial arts and ability to change their skills were at least middle and upper-class. They could kill Zhang Ning with one sword under their noses, and successfully break through the siege of the Three Thousand Bo Ancient Army. They also successfully concealed the eyes of the master-level martial artist Li Qi. Such a person's strength can be imagined.
Of course, it is not impossible to complete the task of assassinating an unarmed witch without intention, but what is important is that Zhang Ning is the only person who can find and open the Yellow Turban treasure in the rumor. The murderer actually attacked Zhang Ning. Doesn’t it mean that the forces represented by the other party don’t care about the Yellow Turban treasure at all? Ignoring a treasure, not many people can have such courage, at least it will be difficult for A Niu to do it.
Or, the other party is convinced that the so-called treasure is just a rumor, so he kills it without hesitation. However, what is the basis for such a judgment? Even if you don’t believe that the treasure is true, you don’t need to send a master to kill Zhang Ning, right? What is the motive for killing Zhang Ning?
Chen Gong looked solemn and said, "Is it because someone wanted to take the opportunity to kill Zhang Ning to further deepen the hatred between Bo Ancient City and our Fengxiang City? According to common sense, the lord sent someone to kill a demon girl who was as deep as the sea with Fengxiang. This is the only way to do it once and for all. Invincible Dongzi will definitely think that Zhang Ning's death was done by us Fengxiang people!"
Pang Tong smiled and said lightly: "With the nature of the lord, since the moment Wudi Dongzi sent people to abduct Chen Shuodi, we had no chance of reconciliation with Bogu, and those who touched us had to pay the price. What's more, there were thousands of Fengxiang men who died in a foreign land in the battle of Aries Beach? The other party didn't have to assassinate Zhang Ning with extravagance. I was wondering whether Wudi Dongzi had another enemy. I didn't want Zhang Ning to return to Bogu. I heard that Zhang Ning had been taken to Chang'an by the imperial envoy. I expected Wudi Dongzi would definitely not sit idly by, so he took action when the troops in Bogu City arrived? However, there was no reason for the public platform's concerns. Wudi Dongzi would definitely take this account to the lord."
Invincible Dongzi's crazy expansion after the battle against Dong ended, which really made him famous among the Sili Lord players. The behavior of cheating nine territories as cannon fodder was even more despicable, and it is not surprising that some people take revenge.
A Niu curled his lips and looked indifferent, "It's easy. So what if Zhang Ning was killed by us?"
Pang Tong said it well just now. From the moment Bo Gucheng was captured, A Niu never thought about it. Is Invincible Dongzi happy? Does it have anything to do with Feng Xiang?
Now A Niu is not very happy.
Just when a city lord was disdainful to the reaction of Bogu City Lord, Chen Gong suddenly stood up and bowed. He said, "Weapons are the major affairs of the country, the land of life and death, the way of survival and death. We must observe it. Invincible Dongzi has been in Sili for a long time. Bogu City is also quite powerful. And there must be wise men who come to help. Otherwise, our army will not be able to escape during the first expedition. The lord should not underestimate the enemy and be complacent."
Chen Gong's words were not guilty. But his words were like morning bells and evening drums. It made a city lord suddenly realize that since Chen Gong and Pang Tong came to Luoyang one after another and used rumors to counter the rumors in Bogu City, Aniu paid much attention to Bogu than to the new defeat. Aniu subconsciously no longer regarded Bogu as a rival with equal strength. Before the first expedition to Bogu City, did Aniu have such a mentality? The war has not yet begun. No one knows what strategy will Invincible Dongzi use to deal with Fengxiang's second wave of attacks. In recent days, Aniu has been overwhelmed with optimism. It seems that as soon as Fengxiang sends troops, Bogu will be easily overturned. This is a dangerous signal!
A Niu stood up solemnly and bowed to Chen Gong solemnly. "What the Gongtai said is very true."
Only Chen Gong, a confidant adviser with integrity and rigorous character, can point out the mistakes of the Lord so bluntly (although Pang Tong is also loyal to a certain city lord, but this guy is a little slick. When facing this situation, he is probably just stopping and not as direct as Chen Gong). Similarly, A Niu has long trust and respect for Chen Gong. It is also an important factor in Chen Gong's willingness to serve Fengxiang.
Chen Gong received this gift calmly, and the two ministers looked at each other and smiled.
Li Qi and Pang Tong watched silently from the side, and their expressions were very relieved. After this little episode, the atmosphere in the office became serious again.
Chen Gong continued: "Although Zhang Ning died, the shock she brought was far from calm. The lord handed over Zhang Ning to the court in a Luoyang restaurant, which could save Fengxiang from many unnecessary troubles, but Zhang Ning was not taken to Chang'an in the end, which inevitably attracted some people who did not know the truth. It was okay for other strangers to question, but my subordinates were worried that some princes would think so, even... I thought that before I gave the witch, I had already obtained all the secrets of the Yellow Turban treasure!"
A city lord's face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice: "Who really thinks like this?"
The answer was Pang Tong, and Fengxiang's ugly man said lightly: "Lord, there will definitely be one."
Just as A Niu pondered, Pang Tong continued: "After sending envoys to Luoyang to investigate the Yellow Turban treasures, half of the people believed that our innocence was not easy, and there would be any doubts. Fortunately, our Fengxiang is far away from Sili, and the Qingzhou Governor Zang Hong was not involved in this matter. Because the journey is long or friendly, those princes cannot do anything to us for a while. The only concern is the Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both sent envoys to Luoyang to investigate the authenticity of the Yellow Turban treasures a few days ago, our relationship with Yuan family has not been substantially improved. Yuan Shao was wide on the outside and tight on the inside, and Yuan Shu even saved his appearance of being generous. Before the previous complaints were relieved, there was a treasure teasing, so we must be careful!"
A Niu hesitated and said, "Is the meaning of Shiyuan? Does it mean that Yuan's family may be involved in the war between us Fengxiang and Bogu? In the previous period, Lu Bu and Cao Cao both sent troops to help Bogu, but it was not impossible for Yuan's family to send troops. However, Yuan Shu was quite afraid of his brothers, and Yuan Shao had just fought with Gongsun Zan to suffer a loss and need to be rectified. The possibility of their troops to send troops to Sili..."
"Jizhou encountered wars in the Battle of Jieqiao. Now Yuan Shao urgently needs to rectify the damage caused by the resumption of the war in Jizhou. He should not use troops to the outside world at this time, but because of the destruction of the war, Yuan Shao's demand for the Yellow Turban treasure is stronger. Don't forget that the rumored treasure is in Julu! Moreover, Yuan Shao does not have to send troops to Sili to help Bogu. Now, most of my Fengxiang elite soldiers gather in Luoyang, and the territory is unprecedentedly empty. If I were Yuan Shao, I just need to send a general to command the elite troops directly to Qingzhou, and I will likely compete for the full success in one battle, forcing the lord to hand over the Yellow Turban treasure and the Tianshi Pei!" Pang Tong said in a deep voice.
Although Yuan Shao was just a governor of Jizhou, Fengxiang City in Qingzhou could not be controlled by Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou Zang Hong was helped by Yuan Shao after all. Yuan Shao was able to take charge of Zang Hong. Moreover, Yuan Shao was full of talents. However, if Zang Hong did not obey Yuan Shao's orders, he would definitely avoid a complete rebellion with Yuan Shao. It is difficult to sacrifice his own interests than to ascend to heaven, but if Yuan Shao just asked him to sacrifice a strange territory in his jurisdiction, Zang Hong opened a door of convenience for the Jizhou army, it would be no fantasy!
For lord players, territory is everything. Once the main city is destroyed, no matter how many elite soldiers there are, it will be of no use!
A city lord couldn't help but take a breath.
After pondering for a while, Chen Gong also said, "Lord, my subordinates thought that Shi Yuan was extremely worried. We should not only be careful that the princes took advantage of the situation to attack Fengxiang, but also beware of the possibility of a counterattack by the Lord of Bogu. Since the rumors of the Yellow Turban Treasures, Bogu has not made any obvious moves. It seems that he has lost the power to fight back, and there must be fraud in it! Although the launch is imminent, we should make some adjustments to the previous plan, and there must be some arrangements in the main city of Qingzhou."
Aniu's face was unstable. In fact, he did not think that Fengxiang City would be attacked by princes, but both the kingly strategists had this concern. Aniu had to re-examine his judgment. Previously, Aniu only said that "everything is ready, only the east wind is needed." Now he realized that the complexity of the situation was far beyond his imagination. It was no longer as simple as the struggle between Fengxiang and Bogu!
A city lord quickly opened the communication bracelet. Two minutes later, sweat was already visible on Aniu's forehead.
After finishing the call, A Niu sighed: "Just asked Emperor Wu of Han who had not returned from his hometown to Jizhou for the Battle of Jieqiao. He told me that Yuan Shao said that Gongsun Zan could go south again at any time, so he asked him to continue to stay in Jizhou for a while and to draw as many troops from Huoyun City as possible to go to Jizhou to listen to the call. He has agreed."
Chen Gong sneered: "It was not as expected by Shi Yuan, Yuan Shao really wanted to attack Feng Xiang!"
Li Qi said in confusion: "The Yellow Turbans in Liaodong evacuated Youbeiping in full swing. Gongsun Zan is indeed likely to send troops to attack Jizhou again. It is not surprising that Yuan Shaoguang invited reinforcements. Why did Gongtai say that he intends to attack Fengxiang?"
"Youbeiping was abducted by the Yellow Turbans of Liaodong. The unstable area is urgently needed to be rectified. Moreover, the Yellow Turbans of Liaodong are peeping in the east. Gongsun Zan is impossible to go south in a short time. Yuan Shao's tent is Tian Feng, and Ju Sujun's wise men will not be able to see through this! Yuan Shao used this as an excuse to keep the baby Feilong in Jizhou and asked him to dispatch troops from Huoyun City again. Imagine that with the large size of Jizhou and the large number of strange people, can we ask a lord of Qingzhou to send troops to help? Besides, the lord's troops are useless. Yuan Shao's intention is just to air the Lord of Huoyun City and the troops of Huoyun City. When the Jizhou army attacks Fengxiang, we will not be able to get the support of Huoyun City!"
Li Qi suddenly realized and turned to A Niu and said, "Fourth brother, your lord friend is straightforward and has no idea that people's hearts are sinister. I'm afraid he will be kept in the dark at this time!"
A Niu smiled bitterly: "Don't tell him the truth about this matter first, otherwise it would make the boy embarrassed. The friendship between him and Yuan Shao may be of great use in the future. Fortunately, Shi Yuan guessed the enemy Yu Xian, and then he wanted to sneak attack us Fengxiang, but there was no door!"
