After leaving Haotian's room and dismissing everyone around him, Xuanji said to Luo Xiang: "Sir, I wonder how your investigation of what happened that night went?"
"Zhao Fanjian is dead." Luo Xiang said with a bitter smile.
Xuanji was shocked: "What? When did he die?"
"Yesterday, as soon as our investigation pointed the finger at him, he died while having fun with his new concubine. I have already gone to the scene with the Grand Master, and there is nothing wrong at the scene."
Zhao Fanjian was the most suspected traitor candidate they suspected, but he died sooner or later, and he died in this matter, and in such a useless way. It was obvious that there must be something wrong with it. Xuanji raised his eyebrows: "Mr.
Do you think he really died from having too much fun? Is there something wrong with that concubine? Zhao Fanjian is only around forty. With his level of maintenance, it is not impossible to live for another forty years. How could he die like this?
Already."
Luo Xiang sighed and said: "I think so too. There is nothing wrong with his concubine. She was originally an ordinary citizen of Tiandu Shengjing. Later, she was taken aback by Zhao Fanjian, so she used both soft and hard tactics to get her into the house. This concubine
My family background is innocent, and there is nothing wrong with it. It’s just that Zhao Fanjian died at an untimely time. Unfortunately, because the auxiliary king was involved, I couldn’t check it carefully.”
Xuanji frowned and said: "Zhao Fanjian was most likely killed by himself. This time, the Paradise Alliance was able to obtain accurate information and assassinate the two regiment commanders Liu Nanjun and Liu Nance in one fell swoop, and seriously injured the Lord and others. It was obvious that there was a traitor who informed him
, however, as soon as we started the investigation, the most suspected target died normally, which is too coincidental. We can imagine that if Zhao Fanjian is really a spy, then the other party is obviously killing people and silencing them. But
Being able to easily sneak into Rihua County and quietly kill high-ranking officials of the imperial court, it is obvious that the other party must have other arrangements in the city. If Zhao Fanjian is not a spy, then the other party is framing the blame. In other words,
The real spy is still in the city."
Luo Xiang smiled bitterly. Although Rihua is a county, Yangzhou Road is due to mercantilism, so even small counties are very prosperous. In terms of fiscal revenue, each of the six counties in Ningzhou is comparable to Hetao.
Or even one of the sixteen states of Youyun is almost the same. Because of this, the county is relatively spacious. Now there are 40,000 troops stationed in the county alone. In addition, in order to show the king's determination to die for the country, Emperor Yinglie moved from the capital to the holy capital.
The meritorious nobles brought out, as well as the guards and soldiers of the high-level empire such as Haotian, etc., the total population of the county is now at least 60,000. How to check so many people?
Luo Xiang said helplessly: "We have to take our time regarding spies. This time the empire really suffered heavy losses. The two main legions were temporarily paralyzed. The national division, the lord, General Xiang and An Yongchang were seriously injured at the same time. Haha, at least in the
Within a month, the imperial court will no longer have the strength to take the initiative to attack, and it also needs to be on guard against Cassimbas' raids from time to time. Military advisor, the main target of the Paradise Alliance this time should be the imperial court, but somehow we got caught up with it.
?And the Paradise Alliance really thinks highly of us, and only one person was dispatched to assassinate others, but for us, two people actually joined forces. Fortunately, it was Miss Xin Jiao who was in the lord's room that night, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."
Both of them were in a very bad mood now. It was originally expected that Cassimbas was preparing to implement a beheading plan, concentrating the elite to assassinate the heroic emperor, and then take advantage of the leaderless leader of Qingfeng to suddenly invade the territory with large numbers of troops. In this way, there was a high probability that the Qingfeng coalition would be severely damaged.
Taking advantage of the pursuit of victory, it was very possible to capture Tiandu Shengjing. But who knew that Cassimbas would actually target several army commanders in the imperial court, causing all their original preparations to fail.
"Assassinating the main generals of the imperial court will not only reduce the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, but also instigate the Qinchuan Li family and our Hetao family to compete for the dominance of the coalition. Cassimbas is really cunning and insidious." Xuanji said quietly, the imperial court
Of the four main legions, two were semi-paralyzed, one legion commander was seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness was reduced by at least 30%.
The only one that is intact is Hu Biyandan's Dragon Cavalry Legion. Come to think of it, this is definitely not the mercy of the Paradise Alliance. Most of the Dragon Cavalry Legion led by Hu Bi Yandan are elite cavalry from the Bloody Plateau. Now Xue Qingcheng is in Rihua.
In the county town, if Hu Biyan is assassinated, Xue Qingcheng can easily take over the command of the Dragon Cavalry Legion without affecting its combat effectiveness. In this way, the Paradise Alliance is helping Haotian in disguise.
They naturally don't want to do this to increase their strength. Moreover, Hu Biyandan is one of the four elders of the Bloody Plateau. It's hard to say what his martial arts is, but at least he has the strength to fight against the eight masters of the evil way. Therefore, the Paradise Alliance is a natural choice.
gave up on this goal.
However, the Paradise Alliance actually sent two people to assassinate Haotian. It is obvious that they attach special importance to Hetao and know that it will definitely be a powerful enemy in the future. Of course, their attention is not unreasonable. Helian Tieshu has already stayed in
Here, Luo Xiang's counterattack even caused Cassimbas to suffer a loss. If the Hetao cavalry hadn't unexpectedly severely damaged Cassimbas' northeastern army, I'm afraid the Paradise Alliance would have launched an offensive by now.
Luo Xiang pondered for a moment, but then shook his head: "Strategic Advisor, if Cassimbas sends troops now, it will at least be able to cripple the main army of the imperial court, and it is very possible to even completely annihilate the three Eastern Legions of the Qinglong Imperial Guard.
But he will definitely not be able to keep our Hetao coalition forces and the Qinchuan Li family's army. But if they are just pursuing this effect, then when Cassimbas first arrived at Yangzhou Road last year, their advantage was even more obvious. Why did they do that?
Didn't we take the initiative when the time was right? We delayed it for a year, waiting until we were fully prepared and the three forces merged into one before we took the initiative to attack. To say the least, Cassimbas did not take the initiative to attack before the emperor personally went on the expedition.
, but as soon as the emperor led all the meritorious nobles of the dynasty to Japan, the Paradise Alliance began to become active. This can only show that their ultimate goal is still His Majesty."
"But why didn't they assassinate His Majesty this time?" Xuanji asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. They can't get His Majesty's accurate information, and they are powerless." Luo Xiang said with a smile. Although Luo Xiang and others knew the residence of Emperor Yinglie, the room where Emperor Yinglie rested was not available every night.
Likewise, even his only younger brother, the Assistant King, does not know which room he sleeps in. Without accurate information, it is almost impossible to kill him with one strike. Besides, there is only one person beside Emperor Yinglie.
Jun Weiming, Tian Fengyu and Ruoyu Hanmei, two top masters, plus the other Ouchi masters, I am afraid that even if the seven Bing Hengs attack together, they will not be able to take down the Yinglie Emperor.
After a pause, Luo Xiang continued: "There is another possibility, and that is to deceive people's ears and eyes."
Xuanji walked back and forth for a few steps, and then said: "There should be another factor, that is, the other party's spies have informed Kasimbas of the strategic plan formulated by Tie Shuai at noon, and Kasimbas was very worried.
Obviously he is not willing to risk the entire army to have a life-and-death showdown with us. Of course, it may be that he has a more energy-saving method, so he is unwilling to fight us head-on. But once Tie Shuai's strategic plan is launched, it will inevitably lead to death.
Fang Xiu, so Cassimbas wanted to disrupt our steps in advance. So he sent out these assassins in advance to assassinate our military leaders, causing our plan to abort, and he could continue to calmly lead us into his trap.
.”
Luo Xiang opened his mouth and said: "The other party's information was really timely. Tie Shuai held a military meeting at noon, and we were assassinated by the other party at the same time in the evening." Originally this was a good clue, but we participated in the military meeting that day.
The people in the meeting will definitely make arrangements for the next day's battle when they go back, so the information is likely to be leaked at this time, and there are no less than a hundred pigeons flying in and out of Rihua City every day. If you want to find out through this
Being a traitor is really difficult.
All kinds of flowers in the yard are already blooming. These flowers were originally planted by Xin Jiao and others in the hope that Haotian would use them to soothe his nerves after dealing with official matters. However, it is Luo Xiang who likes to admire them the most. But now Luo Xiang
Xiang also had no intention of admiring this rare beauty. He just half-squinted his eyes and said: "Cassimbas has always been a serial killer. It is absolutely impossible to just assassinate two people. Especially since he has been planning for so long, it is impossible for him to just assassinate two people."
It's over with just one regiment commander. If that's the case, wouldn't it be equally effective to assassinate them in Tiandu Shengjing? What is Kasimbas' trump card? His goal must still be the current emperor. As long as he kills or even defeats him,
Your Majesty, then the coalition forces must be morally shattered and will no longer have the courage to confront them."
"The Elysium Alliance's troops south of the river are now deployed there. Due to our quick response, Cassimbas did not take advantage here in Ningzhou, and although the two main armies on our side are almost paralyzed, too
The division, General Xiang and the lord were seriously injured, but isn't Tie Shuai still there? Even if the offense is insufficient, the defense is still sufficient. Here at the Dahe defense line, He Shuai is now responding with all his strength. The Dahe river surface is limited, although Kato Taka has ten
Ten thousand troops, but it is impossible to invest them all at once, and investing in batches is undoubtedly a competitive consumption. As for Jiangnan Road, hasn't King Weiyuan already held back Minghui's 100,000 troops? Zhu Zhao's Army and Heping Lang's Army are still
On Jiangnan Road, Huaishui Zhang Cangzong is still leading 30,000 navy cruisers day and night. Without the help of the navy, they will not be able to cross the river anyway." Xuanji said nonchalantly: "Besides, if the Paradise Alliance really still has
If there are extra naval forces, then they might as well invest on this side of the river, so that they can at least transport the more than 100,000 Northeastern Allied Forces stockpiled on the East China Sea Road to the Yangzhou Road."
