Changningfang is an inconspicuous building area in Taiyuan City. It is not rich or poor, so it is very ordinary, but there are also people of all kinds of religions.

Dongxi Restaurant is an inconspicuous restaurant in Changning House. It is not remote but it is not located at the bustling street corner. It is simple and elegant in layout and has no highlights, so the people who come and go are all ordinary people.

After nightfall, Dongxi Restaurant closed early as usual, and the lights on the backyard were not bright and dim. It can be imagined that there must be a disadvantageous lamp oil that burns with slight odor. This lamp oil has no other benefit, it is just that it is cheap enough.

However, the guys who prepared the next day's ingredients obviously didn't care about these things, because they couldn't even afford this kind of lamp oil on weekdays. In this era when sunrise and sunset, those who have the ability to light lamps at night are also wealthy homes in Taiyuan City.

There is a small square stone table under the lush locust tree in the backyard. The tabletop has been damaged by a corner, and the years have polished its surface very smoothly. It is very small, with only two small stools in front of the table, not stone benches, but wooden stools that the guys usually carry everywhere.

At this moment, the night was just right, and the stars were lit on the branches of the tall locust tree, and the clear light shone from the treetops, and the shadows were swaying.

A woman in purple robe with graceful figure and charming appearance was sitting on the small stone table with her legs folded and drinking tea. Her eyebrows and eyes were soft and quiet, with a sense of transcendence without causing dust, which formed a contradiction with her mature and charming temperament.

The understatement made Zhou Chuanwen, the young master Yin Zhongmeili of Taiyuan Prefecture, willingly bow his head, but at this moment he stood a few steps away from the table, his eyes fell three inches in front of his feet and did not move at all, and he did not dare to look up at the other person.

"You have completed Zhong Meili's rebellion task very well. Although he has not fully served us, he can help us do a lot of things right now, at least he will be very good at Li Cunxiao's issue. The opinions of the young Yin of Taiyuan Prefecture and the representative of the aristocratic family are worthy of Li Keyong's attention anyway."

The woman in purple robe was naturally the commander of the Qingyi Yamen. She put down the tea bowl in her hand and glanced at Zhou Chuanwen in front of her.

The other party was her confidant, and her talent was the best choice. During the operation and development of the Qingyi Yamen, there were many people like Zhou Chuanwen emerging.

Song Jiao intends to take the exam and continues: "Let me tell me what kind of behaviors are there before and after, our Qingyi Yamen is here to implement a divisive plan."

Zhou Chuanwen thought for a moment and answered confidently: "The key to the plan of disagreement is to make Li Keyong doubt Li Cunxiao, from trust to distrust. Your Highness's actions in Yizhou are just appetizers, and the main part of the plan is to be implemented by our Qingyi Yamen."

"Your Highness has laid the foundation for the plan of divisiveness in Yizhou. The next step is to guide Li Keyong to arouse suspicion. It is an indispensable part to let Li Keyong speak for us."

"Fang Qingzhen has the highest status after Li Keyong's three confidant staff, but after investigation, we found that he is a decent person, does not seek wealth, has almost no weaknesses, and is basically unable to be bribed. So if he wants to advise Li Keyong, he can only make him believe that Li Cunxiao will really betrayal."

"If you want to convince Fang Qingzhen, you must know who he trusts. We investigated him for a long time and repeatedly investigated his relatives and friends, including his children, but did not find a breakthrough point until we found Xu Maoda."

"Xu Maoda himself does not know how to do things for us. If he wants to give in, it is a good choice to start with the people around him. After investigation, we found that his only son was ignorant, he had not married yet in his twenties, and he did not succeed in everything. He also owed gambling debts in the gambling house."

"People like Xu Maoda's only son, you can control them without any effort. If you give them some sweetness, you will become our loyal dog and do whatever you want."

"By controlling Xu Maoda's only son, let Xu Maoda persuade Fang Qingzhen for us, and then Fang Qingzhen will influence Li Keyong."

"Although Fang Qingzhen is decent, Li Keyong's other two confidants are both 'normal people', and they will be greedy for money and like beauty. It is easier to control such people and just buy them directly. As long as the price is right, there will be no unanimous transactions, and there will be no master who cannot be betrayed."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chuanwen paused for a moment and continued: "Born Li Keyong's confidants and let them tell them that Li Cunxiao would be rebellious. Even if Li Keyong didn't believe it at the beginning, after a long time, the three of them became tigers. In addition, the response of Zhong Meili and other groups of 'talented and knowledgeable non-directoral figures' would not be able to believe it."

Song Jiao patted her hands gently, "Yes, being able to see these clearly means that you are able to stand alone and be in charge of the affairs of the Qingyi Yamen town. But if you want to go further, this is far from enough."

Zhou Chuanwen's head was lowered: "Please give me instructions."

Song Jiao said lightly: "To get rid of Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao, what you made before can only be considered one aspect, and there are a few hard dishes next."

When she said this, she did not continue and fell into deep thought without warning. Zhou Chuanwen did not dare to ask questions, so she stood there waiting for instructions.

Not long after, a woman with a beautiful appearance and sharp facial features and angular features entered the yard and reported to Song Jiao: "The commander, everyone has been arranged, and you can act at any time."

Song Jiao nodded: "Then let's act. Zhou Chuanwen will follow you."

"Yes, the commander."

After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Chuanwen followed the woman and turned left and right, and finally entered a very ordinary three-entry house. In this house, Zhou Chuanwen met Song Jiao's second aspect of the arrangement.

The room and the yard are filled with people, everything is full of people, handsome scholars, big belly and slim peddlers, thin storytellers, gorgeous and elegant storytellers, elegant and refined servants, vulgar dressed long tongues, and even dwarfs who look like children.

There are many people from all walks of life, and there are nearly a hundred.

Seeing so many people, Zhou Chuanwen was a little stunned.

"This is just a hall. There are fifteen halls like ours in Taiyuan City!" The woman looked at Zhou Chuanwen proudly and said proudly.

Zhou Chuanwen sighed and said, "It is worthy of being the commander who came forward in person. This is indeed extraordinary."

This shows how deep the Qingyi Yamen was in advance in order to cooperate with the army to deal with Hedong.

A few days later, rumors suddenly broke out in Taiyuan City, and there were people whispering and talking about countless wine shops, teahouses, brothels, and even streets and alleys.

They discussed only one issue, that is, Li Cunxiao, who was newly promoted to the military ranks and was exaggerated by Li Keyong as the Dinghai Dinghai Sword and used to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, actually had close contact with King An and wanted to abandon Li Keyong and surrender to King An!

Rumors began to spread from nowhere, and almost overnight, Taiyuan City was full of such remarks and words were firm.

Their reasons are very good. King An, who values ​​the country and is determined to revive the Tang Dynasty, attaches great importance to Li Cunxiao's talents and wants to make contributions to the court and make achievements for the country, rather than burying the rebel Li Keyong with him.

The most popular and convincing evidence is that King An promised Li Cunxiao that as long as Hedong is pacified, the court will let Li Cunxiao replace Li Keyong and become the governor of Hedong!

King An’s conditions are very attractive. Will Li Cunxiao agree?

Will agree.

First, King An won consecutive battles and captured cities and land, and suffered losses from soldiers and generals in Hedong, and lost power. Seeing that Li Keyong was not far from defeat, if Li Cunxiao did not want to die, he would have to find another way out.

Secondly, Li Cunxiao is already a military general, and Li Keyong is just a military general. Why should Li Cunxiao serve as a minion for Li Keyong? The only one who can make him a minion is the court!

Rumors spread everywhere, causing panic in Taiyuan City and restless day and night. Although rumors are arbitrary and unreasonable, wise men are only a very small number of them, and they cannot stop the spread of rumors.

If Li Cunxiao defected, Hedong, which was already unfavorable to fight, would surely be defeated. If those officials and generals who were not Li Ke, wanted to not be punished after the war, they would have to find another way out.

This way out is naturally to surrender to the court.

Taiyuan Prefecture, the Jiedushi Mansion quickly reacted and sent many people to refute the rumors. He said with a firm word that Li Cunxiao was loyal and would definitely not betrayal and Hedong would also win. Li Ye was a country's crime, and he would definitely be punished by heaven and earth.

But many people don't believe it.

There is a reason for not believing. If Li Cunxiao will not betrayal, then he must do something to prove his loyalty, such as fighting with the Yizhou official army day and night, never ending. If Hedong will win a great victory, at least the Hedong army will have to win a few battles and recover some lost territory.

But neither of these.

Soon, new rumors spread, saying that Li Cunxiao would surrender the city soon and present Yizhou to King An as a letter of loyalty to the court. Then he would join forces with King An and turn his head to counterattack Taiyuan City!

The source of the news is said to come from the Pinglu Army camp and is highly credible.

But at this time, defecting soldiers appeared in Yizhou City!

Although there are not many people, they are of bad nature.

This time, Taiyuan was in trouble.

The people have ideas. They want to avoid war. No one is Li Keyong's direct official general. They have ideas. They have to consider the future. Li Keyong's direct official general also has his own ideas. They have to seek victory in the war.

At this time, Li Cunxiao met in front of the An Wangcheng, had a great chat, drank happily, and attracted each other as confidants, and regretted that they met too late, and the details of their private letters were exaggerated.

Everyone's finger was focused on Li Cunxiao.

In the government hall of the Jiedushi Mansion, Li Ke sat cross-legged with his hands on his chin, and his face was solemn and fell into deep thought. In the hall, the staff and officers had already quarreled, as lively as a vegetable market.

The prefect Li Sien was so excited that his face turned red: "Li Cunxiao must be withdrawn from Yizhou! He was promoted to a military general and was in charge of Yizhou for so long, but he had almost no battles or victory results, and he had never even pulled out the camps of the bandit army! If he was not passive and lazy, nor had he colluded with Li Ye, I would be the first to disbelief!"

As Li Keyong's absolute direct line, Li Sien would not allow this battle to be lost.

The secretary of the Jiedushi's Office retorted: "Li Cunxiao dragged nearly 300,000 thieves with 70,000 people. Who could do this if someone else had replaced him? The thief army dug a trench, which was as dense as a spider web, surrounded Yizhou. At this time, how could the Thirteenth Taibao attack? Being able to defend the city is victory in itself!"

The two started arguing again, and both sides made sense, and no one could convince anyone.

"Enough!" Li Keyong suddenly yelled softly, "Sit down."

At this time, his face was surprisingly gone without anger, but he remained absolutely calm. For a Shatuo man who was used to killing and rushing into the formation, this was very difficult, which shows that he did not stop growing. "You don't have to fight anymore. No matter what, I trust the Thirteenth Taibao, and I believe that he will never surrender to that guy Li Ye!"

When everyone heard this, no matter what their minds were, they could only bow their heads and say nothing.

Of course, Li Keyong cannot say that he suspects Li Cunxiao, unless he has controlled Li Cunxiao and is ready to kill the other party. Otherwise, if this is heard by Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao will have to choose to fight against the enemy.

However, Li Keyong immediately said: "But the battle situation in Yizhou cannot be stalemate like this. Rumors spread in Taiyuan City, causing panic and unstable order, and we must not ignore it. There must be a solution to these things."
