Chen De waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Tie Yaozi down again, smiled deeply, and whispered to Li Jifeng: "But someone told me that the person who presided over the sneak attack on my Lanzhou caravan was Lord Yanei."
Li Jifeng was both afraid and angry, and said loudly: "General Chen clearly checked, Jifeng is wronged! It was Li Keyuan who first proposed that the Lanzhou caravan traveled outside the border and transported a large number of Middle-earth goods to the Western Regions, making it difficult for me to find that business travelers in the five states became increasingly rare, so he came up with this plan. I was also confused for a moment and took the initiative to instigate that guy. What kind of villain was he provoking trouble in front of the adults, Jifeng was willing to confront him!" Since he had already admitted that it was Li Keyuan who commanded the matter, he simply turned Xiazhou into
The intention and motivation were all expressed, and I wanted to know who betrayed him. Li Kexian and Li Keshun, who were kneeling aside, were also thinking. Even if there was a severe fog and storm, the reinforcements in Lanzhou still arrived in time. It would be impossible to say that they had not prepared in advance. The more Li Kexian and Li Keshun thought, the more suspicious they must have been, someone in the army would communicate with Lanzhou and set up a trap. Chen Deshi's words deepened their views.
"Oh?" Chen De looked at Li Jifeng with some confusion and asked, "The three are all smart people. Now you are trapped here. My Lanzhou and Yinzhou Li Keyuan have become mortal enemies. Who is the one who benefits the most?"
As soon as he said this, Li Jifeng, Li Kexian and Li Keshun looked at each other and counter-espionage plan. The three people who had read the military books of the Han people thought of this word at the first time, but when they thought about it carefully, they didn't look like it. Li Jiyun was weak and sickly. The current Dingnan Army can be said to be without a leader. Now, the three of them, like the other Tuoba leaders, each occupying one side, and no one obeys each other, and no one can do anything to anyone. Chen De had already captured the three of them, and he could not use such great effort to break the counter-espionage plan. But why did he reveal his inner support?
Seeing that the three of them looked puzzled, Chen De asked the soldiers to watch the three Tuoba clans, picked up the tea cup, blew the tea powder slightly, and smiled: "Why should I tell you about this? Since the three of them have seen blood with me, Lanzhou, will kill them with one knife." He said that he was here, and his tone became slightly cold, and a chill broke out of thin air in Li Jifeng's heart. It could be heard that Chen De had seriously considered this path.
"But my Lanzhou is a small area and I am afraid of my strong neighbors. Since the master of the Tuoba clan can even betray his brothers and uncles, if he is allowed to take charge of the five states of Dingnan, I am afraid that my Lanzhou will be dead! Therefore, although the three Tuoba masters have formed enemies with my Lanzhou, I will let you go back. For your Tuoba clans have a longer fight, the safety of Lanzhou will be more guaranteed in the past few years. When the clan leader settles, it is estimated that the Central Plains will be stable. I, Chen De, is a Han Chinese, and will naturally surrender to the Emperor Taiping and enjoy my happiness." Chen
De said leisurely. His words were straightforward. Li Kexian, Li Keshun and Li Jifeng believed half of them, which was very consistent with the laws of the jungle of this era. If Chen De let them go back, even if they did not have such words, they would have guessed the intention of Lanzhou to return to the mountain. But the so-called "happiness and happiness" words, Li Jifeng believed, Li Kexian and Li Keshun did not believe it. The Lanzhou army has amazing combat power. The so-called "sharp sword" and evil intentions arise. Chen De, the commander of the Lanzhou army, did not look like a person who was at ease to be a residence in Bianliang.
Chen De didn't want them to believe it, as long as the seed of doubt was planted, as he said, Lanzhou needs to settle the civil strife in the army, and so are the Tuoba clan masters. He changed his tone and smiled, "The three lords are royal nobles of the previous dynasty," he said in his words, "The word "royal family" was very heavy, and Li Jifeng and the three of them all changed slightly. Even the county generals here knew what the officials in Bianliang would think? "I think that enemies should be resolved rather than to make a fortune, so I can escort the three back. However, these Iron Harrier nobles and the state army had their hands stained with the blood of the Lanzhou army, and they were released in vain. Brothers may not accept it."
When Li Kexian heard Chen De say he wanted to release them, he was relieved and asked in a deep voice: "I want to ask me to let go of my personal follower. What price should I pay? Gold, silver, war horses or food. Please let General Chen say it clearly that there are only things in Suizhou, and you should serve them with both hands." He had been the governor for several years, and was a little brave, but he had learned it. Chen De nodded approvingly and said, "It's easy to talk about gold, silver, grain, grass, war horses, and horses. Everyone knows that Lanzhou has redeemed the Han people to Khitan and Dangxiang. Let's do this. The three followers are all nobles in the Dangxiang tribe, and fifty Han people have replaced one. But..." After his voice, Li Kexian was very anxious. It was a huge deal for him to replace the fifty Han people with an iron kite, because the iron kite is not just a warrior, but he controlled it.
The hostages and minions of the Qiang tribes of the Dangxiang tribes are the foundation of the Li family. Chen De said coldly again: "Those who have the blood debt of my Lanzhou brothers in their hands are not included in the redemption. Killing people to repay their lives and owing debts is the law of heaven. The cycle of heaven will be retribution. Those who do not follow the law of heaven will harm themselves." His tone was so stern, and Li Keshun thought even more that Chen De of Lanzhou is a vengeful person. The so-called person who would rather offend gentlemen than villains. It seems that before he assisted Li Keyuan to seize the throne of the Five Prefectures of Dingnan, it is not appropriate to have any conflict with Lanzhou. If Chen De insisted on making trouble with him and let Li Jifeng betray Li Jiqian or Li Kexian get a bargain for no reason. However, who is the bastard who communicated with the enemy and betrayed the ancestors of the Tuoba clan?
The eldest nephew Li Jiyun is very suspicious. Only by apart from his uncle and nephew, his unscrupulous sons have the hope of inheriting the throne. Li Jiqian is also possible. His relationship with the grassland tribe is unclear, and people are getting higher and higher. The wolf's ambition is obvious. It is not surprising to contact Chen De as a foreign aid. Thinking of this, Li Keshun looked at the two people beside him again. In this match, Li Jifeng made a fool of himself, as if he was diving into the trap of Lanzhou. He had made an appointment with Li Kexian to rob the Lanzhou caravan, but he insisted on getting in. How could he not have played a show with Chen De? By the way, Li Kexian, an old dog, is used to being two-faced, so could it be him?
Just as Li Keshun was dizzy when he was thinking, Li Jifeng and Li Kexian both seized the opportunity to show that they would collect Han people as soon as possible after they went back in exchange for their personal lives. Chen De said leisurely: "Wu Lanzhou is poor and the Han people are not easy to live. Several governors might as well give some of these daily uses needed by the Han people. Lanzhou is grateful to the great masters. Please be as soon as possible for this matter, otherwise the iron kites will not be able to endure hardship in Lanzhou, and it will be troublesome to starve to death by one or two."
The current situation is stronger than others, and he will say whatever he says. As long as he does not force his army to seize the territory of the five prefectures in Dingnan, Li Jifeng, Li Kexian and Li Keshun all agreed, as if he had already regarded Lanzhou as an ally in the battle for the five prefectures. Chen De just smiled and said, "It's great to turn swords into jade and silk in this way, so the two Lords Li will go down first to rest. I have something to talk about with Lord Li Jifeng."
Just now, Li Kexian and Li Keshun were afraid that Chen De would push him out to behead him in anger. In the current situation, he was jealous of Li Jifeng being left alone to talk to him. The Lanzhou cavalry was amazing in combat. Standing on either side, the weight on the throne of the Dingnan Army was much heavier. As for whether Chen De played with everyone, he actually wanted to seize the five states of Dingnan, the two laughed at him. Dingnan Army was the location of the Tuoba family for a hundred years, not like the Central Plains prefectures. Not to mention Chen De, this little general, even the officials of the current dynasty, the Dingnan Army would obey the orders and not the announcement. The Dingnan Army was all the Dingxiang tribe. How could you Han officials take it? The two retreated in a bad mood. When Li Keyuan left, he stared at Li Jifeng fiercely, as if he was a traitor who betrayed the family.
Li Jifeng didn't know why Chen De kept him, so he looked at Chen De with some expectations and some nervousness.
Chen De laughed and said, "Mr. Jifeng was frightened. He kept the young master down, but it was a business to talk to the young master." Seeing Li Jifeng listening respectfully, he continued, "Lanzhou helps the young master to wipe out these unruly prefectures and counties and become the real lord of the five states of the five states to determine the difficulties. The young master restrained the Dangxiang tribe and opened the road to Hexi to our Lanzhou caravan. How about the business tax? "
Li Jifeng's heart was almost about to jump out of his chest and wipe out prefectures and counties, and the real leader of the Dingnan Army. Chen De's words really came to his heart. His confidants were all distributed in Xiazhou. After his brother Li Jiyun died, his brothers would have no problems. The problem was that the prefectures and counties under the command of these uncles and brothers would use this as an excuse to disobey the control of the Dingnan Army. The military orders and government orders were only the Xiazhou Prefecture. Originally, the troops of Xiazhou and other prefectures and counties of the Dingnan Army were in a delicate balance, but if he got the strong aid of the Lanzhou Army, it would be hoped that he would wipe out prefectures and counties. Chen De was all Han people, and it would be impossible to stand firm in the five prefectures of Dingnan. As long as he successfully unified the states, concentrated his troops and asked him out, this man had a good training schedule, but unfortunately he was too confident. He thought that the elite troops in Lanzhou could be ten?
"How do you help me?" Li Jifeng asked in a trembling voice.
When Chen De heard his words, he had great expectations and did not answer directly, and asked back: "It is not difficult to seize the throne of Dingnan Army. Can the prince have a decision to wipe out the prefectures and counties?"
This matter was thought of by Li Jifeng day and night, but he was still an enemy with Chen De several hours ago, so how could he talk to him? He had to stammer: "There is no strategy yet, and the people are just doing their best and following the will of heaven."
How could Chen De not know that he was sloppy here? He laughed loudly and said, "The young master is extremely talented and has both civil and military skills. He is just kind-hearted and righteous. He cannot bear to hurt the righteousness of his fellow clan for power and make the tribe members bleed in vain. De is deeply impressed." Seeing that Li Jifeng's face was slower, he seemed to agree with the benevolent and righteous ruler, Chen De said, "I have been fighting for many years, and I have a plan to offer it to the young master. It will not hurt the righteousness of the same clan for Dangxiang, nor will it seize the land of the five states without blood."
"Oh, will you come out?" Li Jifeng blurted out by him.
"After the current Lord Li Jijun, Bintian, the young master may order the governors of each state to lead an army to Xiazhou to pay condolences. At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, the subordinates of each state shall not exceed 2,000. In private, the young master may send money to Li Kexian, Li Keyuan and others, saying that you will help them seize the throne. When the governors enter Xiazhou, they will capture them in one fell swoop, and then the states will naturally issue an edict to decide."
The two thousand soldiers in each state can naturally win the hearts of all uncles and brothers. At that time, soldiers from other states gather in Xiazhou, they will naturally not worry that Li Jifeng will take the opportunity to take action. However, Li Jifeng is indeed unable to win so many governors at once. This is the time when the Lanzhou army helps to appear. "General Chen means that Lanzhou will help me at that time?" Li Jifeng asked in confusion.
"That's right." Chen De said seriously, "Our Lanzhou will send a group of elite soldiers to lurk near Xiazhou, waiting for the prince to order, and capture these domineering people who disrespect the government's orders in one fell swoop."
"There are many ears and ears in Xiazhou City, and it is very difficult to hide it from everyone." Li Jifeng had already discussed with Chen De without realizing it, because he felt that this plan was indeed for him. Lanzhou went deep into Xiazhou alone and could not make any big waves. After he got the position, he could not leave this elite soldier. As for Chen De, it seems that he could not rely on the Northern Han court and wanted to rely on the merit of supporting him to surrender to the Dingnan Army. Humph, all the five states of Dingnan are Qiang people. As long as you come, Qiang dragons have to keep it honestly for me.
Thinking of this, Li Jifeng felt relieved and looked at Chen De with a look of solicitation. Chen De seemed to be unaware and just continued: "It is naturally a bit troublesome to be near Xiazhou City, but there is a place hundreds of miles north of Xiazhou, which is very easy to hide a large army. Can you tell me?"
"You mean, Di Jinze?" Li Jifeng blurted out.
"Haha, sure enough, the heroes have the same views." Chen De smiled and smiled. Li Jifeng felt even more at ease. The Lanzhou Army did not even enter Xiazhou City. It seemed that he really wanted to help him. As for whether Chen De was thinking of giving kindness or surrendering, it didn't matter.
