Yuan Yao pretended to pick up the teacup on the table.

He put it in his mouth and took a small sip.

Then he put down the teacup and looked at Taishi Ci.

"I heard that brother Ziyi has been in trouble recently?"

After drinking tea, it was natural to get down to business.

What's more, Taishi Ci was already very interested in his purpose.

Only by talking about these things directly to the point can we attract Tai Shici's attention.

Tai Shici frowned and looked at Yuan Yao. He didn't know what the trouble Yuan Yao was talking about, and he was also curious about what Yuan Yao was doing here.

"Trouble? I've been in constant trouble, and it's not just recently."

"That's right. I heard that Chen Ce, the bandit from Lujiang Mountain, has been looking for trouble for brother Ziyi recently? Brother Ziyi organized people to fight back, but he suffered a loss instead?"

When Taishi Ci heard Yuan Yao's words, he understood the purpose of Yuan Yao's visit today. It turned out that he came to deal with Chen Ce.

But now, Taishi Cizhen felt that Chen Ce was a trouble. When he saw Yuan Yao talking about these things, he was not angry and even became very interested in what Yuan Yao said.

After Yuan Yao finished speaking, he nodded.

"Since Mr. Yuan knows these things, I have nothing to hide. I, Taishi Ci, just accepted some brothers and settled temporarily in the middle of the lake. However, I offended Chen Ce, the bandit of Lujiang River. Chen Ce thought that I wanted to

Stand on the top of a mountain in Lujiang and compete with him for supremacy."

"While I was leading my men out, they attacked my stronghold, causing me to lose a lot of people. Some time ago, I gathered my men and planned to go find Chen Ce to find out, but who knew that this man would attack me again."

Taishi Ci originally had more than 3,000 men under his command, but after this battle, only more than 1,000 were left. A large part of these men were Taishi Ci's private soldiers when he served as a general under Liu Yao. They were all his

Private song.

Now he died in the hands of bandits, not to mention how angry Tai Shici was.

If Chen Ce hadn't been hiding in his lair, Taishi Ci would have led his troops to kill him immediately.

But Tai Shici had already found out clearly last time that Chen Ce had nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in his lair. Although these people were just a ragtag group, they had a terrain advantage in the bandit's lair. They wanted to fight up from the bottom of the mountain, but there was no way.

So easy.

If Chen Ce could be eliminated easily, Lu Kang, the then governor of Lujiang, would not have allowed Chen Ce to live freely for so many years.

After listening to Tai Shici's simple description, Yuan Yao showed a smile on his face.

He could sense Taishi Ci's hatred for Chen Ce from Taishi Ci's words.

Therefore, Yuan Yao soon continued what Tai Shi Ci said.

"Brother Ziyi, to be honest, my most important task when I come to Lujiang this time is to wipe out the mountain bandits and restore peace to the people of Lujiang."

"And Chen Ce is the big bandit who bears the brunt!"

"A few days ago, my spies found out that you were having a conflict with Chen Ce, so I thought about it. Since you have a grudge against Chen Ce, and I also want to eliminate Chen Ce, what is the goal of you and me?

If we agree, maybe we can cooperate."

Yuan Yao's words hit the point straight to the point.

After hearing this, Taishi Ci instantly understood what Yuan Yao meant.

He came to cooperate with him and deal with Chen Ce together.

In the past, if Yuan Yao proposed cooperation, Tai Shici would have refused on the spot.

Because Taishi Ci and Yuan Yao, if you really want to talk about it, are actually rivals.

Yuan Yao's father, Yuan Shu, occupied Yangzhou, and Taishi Ci was a subordinate of Liu Yao. Liu Yao was the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court. The reason why Liu Yao ended up in exile and was beaten away by Sun Ce was because Sun Ce followed Yuan Shu's order.

Speaking of which, although the main reason why Liu Yao and Taishi Ci fell to this point was Sun Ce, the indirect reason was Yuan Shu.

If Tai Shici had not fallen into despair and became a water thief, he would definitely not cooperate with Yuan Yao.

But now, what other solution can he have?

It was not that easy to find Chen Ce a meeting venue on his own.

Cooperating with Yuan Yao is the fastest and best way at the moment.

"What kind of cooperation do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Tai Shici looked at Yuan Yao and asked what he wanted to ask.

When Yuan Yao heard Tai Shici's answer, he didn't waste any words and directly said some words that he had already prepared.

"The cooperation between us is very simple, because we all have a common desire, which is to eliminate Chen Ce!"

"This time I came from Shouchun and brought 3,000 elite troops. Plus these troops under your command, although there is still a slight gap between the strength of Chen Ce's troops, they may not be incapable of fighting."

"As long as we use it properly, plan in advance, and make a good layout, it is completely feasible to kill Chen Ce."

After Taishi Ci heard Yuan Yao's description, the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"I'm willing to cooperate with you, but you have to tell me first, what plans do you have to deal with Chen Ce?"

When Yuan Yao heard Tai Shici's agreement, he was still a little nervous, but he immediately relaxed.

As long as Taishi Ci can cooperate with him, he really doesn't care about Chen Ce.

At the moment, and explain all the methods that you thought of at the beginning.

"It's actually not difficult to deal with Chen Ce."

"Although Chen Ce has nearly ten thousand people under his command, these people under him are just a mob and do not have much actual fighting power. The reason why he has been able to live happily for so long is entirely because his home base is located in a building in Lujiang County.

In the big mountains.”

"On both sides of the lair, the mountains are steep, and there is only one trail leading to the top of the mountain. This kind of mountain road is difficult to pass through for most soldiers and horses, so the imperial court can only send small groups of troops for each encirclement and suppression."

"It is very difficult to defeat Chen Ce in such terrain, so if you want to kill Chen Ce, you must change the fighting location with him."

"Brother Ziyi, didn't you suffer a loss in the previous battle with Chen Ce? Chen Ce must also want to annex you. At that time, we only need to spread some rumors to him, lure him out of his lair in the village, and work together to defeat you.

If he surrounds and kills him, he can easily kill Chen Ce!"

Yuan Yao's plan was to exploit his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and use his own strengths to deal with Chen Ce. As long as he cooperated with the plan properly, it was entirely possible to kill Chen Ce at no cost.

This plan would not be easy for either Tai Shici or Yuan Yao to implement with their own limited manpower.

If Taishi Ci wanted to carry out this plan by himself, firstly, he would not have enough manpower, and secondly, he might not be able to kill Chen Ce.

And Yuan Yao cannot rely on his own people to carry out this plan. Without Tai Shici, Chen Ce may not be tempted to leave his nest.

Even if Chen Ce leaves his nest, it will not be easy to defeat Chen Ce with Yuan Yao's current manpower alone.
