Li Zhen's expression was calm as usual and he asked: "I have a question to ask the prince."
At the critical point, Li Zhen changed the subject again and did not directly answer Qin Rigang's question on how to deal with Li Xiucheng. This approach made Qin Rigang a little anxious. Qin Rigang was eager to know the answer and said readily: "The Taoist priest is not only under my command. The Grand Imperial Advisor is also the staff officer who accompanies the army. If you have anything to say, speak directly without any scruples. If this king wants to achieve great things, he needs the Taoist Master's heartfelt help.
At this moment, Qin Rigang unabashedly exposed his ambition.
"Your Majesty is worthy of being a wise master. I admire you."
Li Zhen poured another bowl of ecstasy soup for Qin Rigang, and then said in a leisurely manner: "The prince has countless generals under his command, and all of them are powerful and powerful generals. The generals who scolded me before were also tall and tall. He is quite brave, but to deal with Li Xiucheng, you need not only force, but also a certain amount of brain power. I dare to ask the prince, who among all the generals can defeat Li Xiucheng."
Qin Rigangzi smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Pan Qingyang is enough."
Immediately, Qin Rigang explained that Pan Qingyang was the one who made the rebuke. No matter what, Qin Rigang was unwilling to show weakness and directly named Pan Qingyang.
Li Zhen smiled and said nothing.
When Qin Rigang saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, his expression slightly embarrassed.
Qin Rigang was able to become the King of Yan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I dare not say how outstanding his talent was, but he definitely had a certain ability. In fact, Qin Rigang knew in his heart that Pan Qingyang could not defeat Li Xiucheng, but Qin Rigang was unwilling to show weakness, so he directly said that Pan Qingyang He could defeat Li Xiucheng, but he didn't know that Li Zhen wouldn't buy it, which made Li Zhen stop talking.
Qin Rigang needed Li Zhen, so he was naturally unwilling to offend him.
Therefore, the more you care, the more passive you will be.
This was the case for Qin Rigang. Seeing that Li Zhen was silent, he felt uneasy.
The scene was embarrassing. Qin Rigang was on pins and needles. He felt uncomfortable. When he saw Li Zhen's smiling smile, Qin Rigang lost his confidence in his heart. He sighed and said honestly: "Taoist priest, although Pan Qingyang is under my command, The general is extremely brave, but he is a reckless person. If Pan Qingyang and Li Xiucheng fight, Pan Qingyang will definitely lose."
Only then did Qin Rigang reveal his true thoughts.
Li Zhen was happy because he didn't expect Qin Rigang to confess so quickly.
According to Li Zhen's speculation, Qin Rigang was the leader of the party, the superior King of Yan, with great power and excellent psychological quality. Unexpectedly, Qin Rigang directly leaked Pan Qingyang's affairs.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Li Zhen flicked his fly whisk and said seriously: "Pindao really saw the right person.
With one sentence, Qin Rigang smiled again.
Qin Rigang said with great expectation: "Taoist Priest, I have explained the real situation. What do you think of how to deal with Li Xiucheng? Alas, I am really a coward."
"I convened all the generals in the army for a meeting today. The meeting mentioned Li Xiucheng's collaboration with the enemy and his country. At that time, I said that Li Xiucheng was suspected of surrendering to Li Zhen and wanted to remove Li Xiucheng from military power. Guess what happened to Li Xiucheng? Not only did Li Xiucheng not cooperate, he openly scolded Pan Qingyang for his incompetence in front of all the generals, and even contradicted me."
"Li Xiucheng directly said that if I capture him, the 10,000 elites left by Yang Xiuqing in the city will rebel. Li Xiucheng is simply too arrogant and arrogant. If such a person is retained in the army, he must be a cancer. I Talking to the Taoist priest, I can feel that the Taoist priest is a very resourceful person. Please give me some advice and help me deal with Li Xiucheng."
Li Zhen clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, this is a matter within the scope of a poor Taoist."
Immediately, Li Zhen said again: "Pan Qingyang is no match for Li Xiucheng, which means that the prince cannot deal with Li Xiucheng head-on, especially since there are still 10,000 elites left by Yang Xiuqing in the city. The slightest mistake will cause a mutiny. Once the army mutinies, it will definitely If a civil war breaks out, no one wants to see such a situation, especially since the prince has to deal with Li Zhen who is hiding outside, and we cannot afford to lose our troops."
Qin Rigang said with emotion: "Sir, your words are concise and to the point, and hit the point."
Li Zhen continued: "According to Pindao's suggestion, the prince can only use external force to defeat Li Xiucheng's arrogance in one fell swoop. Once Li Xiucheng loses his confidence, it will be easy for the prince to capture Li Xiucheng again."
"How to use external force?" Qin Rigang asked.
Li Zhen said word by word: "Didn't Li Zhen lead his army? The prince can use Li Zhen and Li Xiucheng to fight. The two are fighting snipe and clams, and the prince is the fisherman on the shore. He can capture Li Zhenhe in one fell swoop. Li Xiucheng."
Qin Rigang felt impatient when he saw that Li Zhen still refused to tell the whole story, but he had to suppress his impatience.
Qin Rigang understood that counselors were like this. They always pretended to be mysterious and hesitated for a long time before they finished speaking.
Qin Rigang pretended to be a courteous corporal and said with a smile: "Taoist Master, Li Xiucheng is definitely going to fight with Li Zhen, but Li Xiucheng has 10,000 elites, while Li Zhen only has more than 3,000 people. Even though Li Xiucheng was defeated by Li Zhen , once Li Xiucheng uses up all his troops, he will not necessarily lose, not only that, he may even defeat Li Zhen."
Li Zhen sneered in his heart, so what if there are 10,000 people, so what if there are 30,000 people.
No matter how many people there are, they can only fail.
Li Zhen did not reveal what he was thinking, but said directly: "Your Majesty, is it a good thing that Li Xiucheng defeated Li Zhen?"
"Okay, of course."
Qin Rigang said directly without thinking about it.
Li Zhen shook his head and sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, if Li Xiucheng defeated Li Zhen, to the Celestial Empire it would only be the elimination of one of the many Manchu and Qing Tatar officials. To Li Xiucheng, it would be a great achievement. In the future, He will rise to great heights, and besides, Li Xiucheng is still Yang Xiuqing’s man. If Li Xiu has made great achievements, will Yang Xiuqing’s prestige also rise accordingly? It will be detrimental to your great cause.”
"Hiss, hiss."
Qin Rigang took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly. Qin Rigang vaguely understood Li Zhen's intention, but still said: "Taoist Master, please tell the truth. I can't wait any longer."
"Okay, Pindao, let's be blunt."
Li Zhen shook his fly whisk, stood up abruptly, and stood in the hall, clasping his hands together.
At this moment, Li Zhen seemed to be a god descending to earth, and said seriously: "Pindao suggested that the prince wait for Li Zhen to appear, and then order Li Xiucheng to lead 10,000 elite troops to attack. At this time, the prince can leak Li Xiucheng's whereabouts and troop deployment to Li Zhen, use Li Zhen’s power to eradicate Li Xiucheng.”
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "In fact, this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. In this dangerous situation, Li Xiucheng will undoubtedly die. If Li Xiucheng can still escape, I am afraid that he really has something to do with Li Zhen." The relationship between people can determine Li Xiucheng's identity. On the other hand, it has also achieved the problem of weakening Yang Xiuqing's military power, and no longer creates a situation where the tail is too big to lose."
"ah,."
Qin Rigang exclaimed and looked at Li Zhen in surprise, feeling extremely surprised in his heart.
Collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country.
If he took the initiative to leak the news to Li Zhen, this would be true collaboration with the enemy and the country. Qin Rigang sat on pins and needles in the hall, looking at Li Zhen, his eyes gradually changed.
