Although Shi Hu felt that his strength was already very strong, he was not brave enough to fight against the central government with one person and the local government, so after deciding to gain self-respecting force, he secretly contacted many people and forces, including the Yao people.

After Shi Hu was defeated, Li Xun discovered the collusion and conspiracy between Shi Hu and the Yao people while searching for spoils and interrogating relevant personnel. With a more detailed and in-depth investigation, more problems were exposed, which aroused Li Xun's great concern and alertness.

In this dynasty, Zhao Zhi had relatively gentle means to local ethnic minorities, mostly focusing on winning over and appeasement. The main strategy was to give land and money. The Yao people were naturally also beneficiaries. The court not only gave them a large area of ​​land and money, but also allowed them to join the army and become officials. Their rights and interests were equivalent to those of the Han people, and there was almost no difference.

Therefore, there were also some Yao soldiers in the military camps of Shi Hu and Cao Shi. After discovering the situation of Shi Hu and Yao, Li Xun immediately chose a Yao officer who was the chief lieutenant, promising various benefits to secretly return to the Yao habitat and investigate the facts.

The commander named Zhanlida. After he returned, he soon found out the truth.

About half a year ago, Shi Hu secretly found Mou Xuan and used the position of Leizhou Jiedushi to win over and tempt him and let him unite with him.

Mou Xuan was immediately moved and agreed to Shi Hu on the spot. Then, he began to secretly train the army and expand his military.

Mou Xuan did not blatantly expand his army, and he did not dare to do so, because this could not be hidden from Ji Shihai's eyes and ears. Therefore, he spent a month every year in the name of training and self-protection. Every tribe of the Yao tribe produced some young and Chinese people. Mou Xuan gathered them together for training.

Before Shi Hu attacked Jiayan City at night, he sent someone to find Mou Xuan and asked him to send troops to help the battle, and Mou Xuan agreed.

So Mou Xuan took the initiative to find Ji Shihai, saying that he agreed to send troops to the mountains to arrest people, and was willing to provide help and cooperation. Ji Shihai believed it was true and was very happy. He immediately ordered three thousand troops and horses to enter the Yao people's residence. This was actually a conspiracy. Mou Xuan had already gathered everyone with the excuse of training and distributed weapons. He was preparing to introduce Ji Shihai's troops to a designated location and then annihilate them.

At this time, Bi Xiangzu had already arrived in Leizhou and sought reinforcements. The Haikang County Magistrate sent someone to the mountain to find Ji Shihai and asked him to return immediately. Ji Shihai naturally knew which one was more important, so he led the people to return. During the return, Mou Xuan took the opportunity to delay the time until the next day. Before Ji Shihai could leave the Yao people's residence, Mou Xuan's men had already arrived and prepared to take their seats.

Just as Mou Xuan was about to take action, the Haikang County Magistrate came over and told Ji Shihai a new news that the war in Jiayan City had ended, Li Xun won a complete victory, Shihu and Zhanpo coalition were defeated, Li Xun sent someone to convey the news, and told Ji Shihai that he would not have to rush to Chenzhou.

The news came too suddenly. Mou Xuan never expected that in just one night, Shi Hu and Zhan Po coalition were defeated, and he had no chance or time to raise an army. The war was too fast from the beginning to the end.

Shi Hu and Zhan Po coalition were all defeated, and Mou Xuan was in a rush to reign, but he had no effect, so the conspiracy against Ji Shihai could only be given up halfway.

The scouts who went to the Yao people's residence returned at this time, including the Yao people Du Wei Zhanlida.

Zhan Lida came closer, turned over and dismounted, and bowed half-kneeled: "I will meet the Prime Minister."

Li Xun got off the horse, stepped forward and personally helped Zhan Lida up, and asked in a soft tone: "What's going on over there?"

Seeing that Li Xun was so courteous to him, Zhan Lida was very grateful. He said, "All the eight elders of the Yao tribe have come. They said that they had come to pay homage to the Prime Minister."

Li Xun nodded and smiled, "They are all elders, so I should have visited them."

Speaking of this, Li Xun paused, thought for a while, and then asked Zhan Lida: "Where do you think is suitable for talking about things?"

Zhanlida is a very clever person. He knew that Li Xun wanted to dispel the concerns of the elders of the Yao tribe and show sincerity, but his own safety issues must not be ignored.

Zhanlida pondered for a moment, then said, "Seven miles north of Haikang County, there is a wild restaurant built next to the official road. It tastes very good and the environment is also good. What do the Prime Minister think of this place?"

Li Xun smiled and said, "We are gathering together, mainly to talk about things, don't make people messy."

"I understand."

Zhan Lida expressed his understanding of what Li Xun said, and he would not bring too many people there. Of course, he also hoped that the Yao people would not come too many people, which would be beneficial to both sides.

Li Xun patted Zhan Lida's shoulder and said warmly: "You go and arrange it."

Li Xun's close behavior gave Zhan Li Damo great encouragement. He bowed and then turned around and left.

Behind Li Xun, Chen He had already told Ji Shihai and Zhan Taishuo about the matter.

After knowing the details, Ji Shihai gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Xuan, I am not bad to him. I am very tolerant of him on weekdays. I didn't expect that in the end I would get such a reward. This is a wolf that cannot be fed. Damn it, kill it."

Zhan Taishuo stood there, silent.

After Li Xun arranged the meeting with the elder of the Yao tribe, he turned around and walked over. Looking at Zhan Taishuo's silent appearance, he couldn't help but ask indifferently: "Mr. Zhan Tai, what are you thinking?"

Zhan Taishuo looked up at Li Xun and said softly: "Sir, the killing will not be solved."

Li Xun said in a low voice: "When did I say I was going to kill someone?"

Zhan Taishuo said: "Sir, are you planning to use the Yao people's own hands to deal with Mou Xuan?"

Li Xun glanced at Zhan Taishuo with great appreciation. This person was very quick to think about it. He could hear the deep reason with his casual words.

Li Xun thought of Zhan Taishuo's name, so he asked, "I don't know what the relationship is with the Zhan Tai family?"

Zhan Taishuo said frankly: "Zhan Taiyiheng is my clan brother, I am a concubine."

At this time, Li Xun looked at Zhan Taishuo again. This person is principled, capable, and smart. He is also from a Jinshi and a family. These factors add up to this are very difficult. However, Zhan Taishuo is almost fifty years old and is just a small county magistrate. This is really hard to understand.

There must be unknown reasons for this. As for what it is, although Li Xun was a little curious, he did not ask too much, because it was someone else's private affairs and had nothing to do with him.
