Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2789 The conspiracy appeared, Niu Ruyi died

Chapter 2785: Conspiracy appears, Niu Ruyi dies

In Guo Jia's view, no matter whether the Demon Sect ends or not, it cannot prevent the Great Qin from destroying the Three Kingdoms and completely occupying the Central Plains. At most, it will only be delayed for a period of time.

From the perspective of Heibingtai, Guo Jia even hopes that Momen will end, because he is Heibingtai, he needs to consider his subordinates, and dealing with Momen will undoubtedly gain a lot of credit.

But from the perspective of the people of the Central Plains, Guo Jia does not want the Demon Gate to end, because once the Demon Gate ends, it means that the war in the Central Plains will further escalate.

Don't underestimate the Demon Sect. The real power of the Demon Sect does not lie in those Jianghu sects, nor the masters of the Demon Sect such as Yuan Jiuling and Ye Dingzhi, but in the control of the population and wealth of the Central Plains.

To put it bluntly, the hands of the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms could not reach out, but they were under the joint control of local tyrants and demons.

If the Demon Sect ends, so will the tyrants of the Central Plains. Although they don't have an army, they have a population. Although they don't have generals, they have talents who can be transformed into generals, as well as a lot of money and food.

The Demon Sect has population, money, food, and talents, which also means that they can rely on bewitching the local people to gather a large number of rebels in a short period of time, and hand them over to the Demon Sect's disciples who are proficient in the art of war to train them into an army.

Although an untrained rebel army is by no means an opponent of a well-trained Qin army, if there are too many people, it will cause some troubles for the Qin army. After all, the Qin army has to deal with the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming.

Of course, the most important point is that when the common people took up weapons, they were no longer common people, but soldiers. Daqin would definitely not show mercy.

With the combat power of the Qin army, it would undoubtedly be a massacre against the people temporarily recruited. The Central Plains will also be full of wars and blood flow, and the population after the war will definitely drop.

This is what Guo Jia doesn't want to see, so he superficially monitors Momen, but in fact he is seeing Cao Wei to prevent Momen from being dragged down by Cao Wei's conspiracy.

This is also the biggest difference between Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and also where he is inferior to Jia Xu.

If it was Jia Xu, he would not care about the people. After all, they are not the people of Daqin, and he would not care about the black ice platform. After all, the black ice platform is only a tool of Daqin. The Central Plains without any hidden dangers.

Guo Jia is not as vicious as Jia Xu, and he can't reach the level of treating people like nothing. He doesn't want to be like Jia Xu, so if he wants to achieve the same goal as Jia Xu, he must do more calculations and pay more. Much effort.

This is also the main reason why Guo Jia still often works overtime after he completely took over the black ice platform.

Looking at the white hairs on his shoulders, Guo Jia couldn't help but sighed, what the hell is going on in this day, it's not good to work hard, and he really doesn't want to work overtime.

"My lord, an urgent report from the Taishan Black Ice Terrace branch."

Guo Jia, who had been busy all day, just fell asleep when she was woken up again by the guard.

Guo Jia naturally wanted to get angry, but when he heard that it was an urgent report from the Mount Tai branch, he couldn't care less. He quickly took the letter, frowned after reading it, and said to himself: "This is the time for Ye Dingzhi to go down the mountain at this time." What are you doing again?"

If it was someone else in the Demon Sect, Taishan Black Ice Terrace would naturally not care, but Ye Dingzhi is the grandson of Styx, and there are faint signs of becoming the next generation leader of the Demon Sect.

Before Ye Dingzhi went down the mountain, he went to Luoyang. After inquiring about Daqin's attitude towards the Demon Sect from Bai Xiaosheng of the Five Dynasties, he indirectly contributed to the consensus between Daqin and the Demon Sect.

Therefore, Ye Dingzhi's going down the mountain this time is definitely not going down the mountain for fun, but because he has business to do.

After Guo Jia thought for a while, he ordered: "Immediately send an order to Li Xiaoyao to protect Ye Dingzhi in secret, so as to prevent Cao Wei's people from assassinating him, but I, Da Qin, will be blamed."

Guo Jia's wave was predicted in advance. After all, if Cao Wei wanted to pull the devil into the water, although there were many conspiracies and tricks that could be implemented, there were not many conspiracies that could achieve the purpose of sowing dissension.

Because only Styx, Kunpeng, and Kui Gang can control the entire Demon Sect, and sitting on the sidelines is a joint decision of the three of them. They are afraid of death and are unwilling to fight against Daqin. Simple tricks obviously cannot affect them.

And Ye Dingzhi, Minghe's grandson, is obviously one of the people who can influence Minghe. If he goes down the mountain and is assassinated this time, and blames Daqin, then Daqin may not be able to wash away the suspicion.

It was precisely because Guo Jia knew this that he sent Li Xiaoyao to protect Ye Dingzhi in advance. Even if Ye Dingzhi died at that time, people from Daqin were present and participated in the protection, at least he would not be framed for nothing up.

Ye Dingzhi went down the mountain this time just to find his aunt Ming Tiefan, and then bring back his cousin Niu Hong who was injured on the battlefield, but he never expected to be caught in a conspiracy, let alone that people from Daqin would come to protect him.

Ming Tieshan lives in Kaiyang City, the prefecture of Langya County, and Langya County borders Taishan County, so the distance is not too far.

Langya County was originally Langya State, and was later abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang to establish an army. It is the northernmost county in Xuzhou. Further north is the Qingnan Battlefield, while the south is Donghai County, and Taishan County is to the west.

Niu Mowang's official position in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being a general, was also the prefect of Langya. After the Qingnan War broke out, he also led the army to support Qingnan immediately.

Ming Tieshan, as Niu Mowang's main wife, naturally lives in the prefect's mansion in Kaiyang City, the prefecture of Langya County.

After Ye Dingzhi and Mo Qixuan came down the mountain, they traveled fast all the way, passing through the three cities of Bian County, Feiguo, and Linyi, and finally arrived in Kaiyang four days later.

After Ye Dingzhi explained the purpose of coming, Ming Tiefan learned that his son was injured, so he was naturally distressed. After learning of his father's intentions, he immediately decided to go with his nephew to bring his son.

The group of three set off again, but they didn't expect that when they were about to enter the border of Mount Tai, they were ambushed by a group of men in black, and the other party would kill them without saying a word.

Although Ye Dingzhi, Mo Qixuan, and Ming Tiefan were all grandmasters, there were also grandmasters among the people who ambushed them, and there were quite a few of them, so the three of them thought it was people from Daqin who ambush them.

At the critical juncture, Li Xiaoyao arrived in time, not only rescued Ming Tie Shan, but also helped the three break out of the siege.

"Thank you hero for saving your life, and please leave your name, Ye Dingzhi will be rewarded generously." Ye Dingzhi said sincerely.

Li Xiaoyao pretended to be hesitant before revealing the scriptures: "You don't need to thank me, as long as you don't give me the shit pot of your assassination to Daqin."

Seeing this, Ye Dingzhi was shocked and said: "Li Xiaoyao, why are you, why did you save me?"

Ye Dingzhi naturally knew Li Xiaoyao, and he had chased and killed Li Xiaoyao before, but he never thought that Li Xiaoyao would save him now.

"Of course I'm afraid that you will die, and I, Da Qin, will be blamed." Li Xiaoyao said lightly.

Ye Dingzhi was trained by Minghe as his successor, so he was naturally not a fool. He understood the meaning of Li Xiaoyao's words, but suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "But what if you Daqin did it on purpose? Heibingtai came to assassinate me, and then sent you to rescue me, so as to blame the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains?"

"If you really think so, I can't help it. Anyway, take care of yourself. This may be just the beginning."

After saying that, Li Xiaoyao left. He saw Ye Dingzhi's anger, and he also understood that what he said just now was not his true words, so he stopped by and didn't need to say everything thoroughly.

After Li Xiaoyao left, Ye Dingzhi gave Mo Qixuan and Ming Tieshan an order with a livid face, "As for the matter of us being ambushed, it must be the Black Ice Terrace who killed us, otherwise our trip will be ruined." dangerous."

Ming Tie Fan was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Dingzhi, you mean that the people who assassinated us were sent by the coalition forces? How is this possible?"

"There is no evidence, and I can't be sure, but I insist that it was done by the Black Ice Terrace, and it will not do us any harm."

After an assassination, Ye Dingzhi also became more careful, and just after he entered Mount Tai, he summoned a grand master and more than a dozen masters, and asked the grand master to protect him in secret.

Ye Dingzhi originally thought that this journey might not be peaceful, but until he entered the camp of the Ming army, there was no disturbance, which also made Ye Dingzhi wonder if the previous assassination was really directed and performed by the black ice platform?

When Ye Dingzhi arrived in Dongjun, ten days had passed since the previous battle, but within these ten days, the situation in Dongjun changed again.

Before that, because of Le Yi's strategy, Bai Qi and Huang Feihu withdrew to the north one after another. Jia Fu also suffered a small defeat in Dunqiu and was seriously injured. The military power was also handed over to Li Cunxiao, so the Qin army was on the defensive as a whole.

Le Yi thought that the Qin army would stop for a while, but he didn't expect the Qin army to launch a counterattack shortly after Li Cunxiao took over the military power.

Both Bai Qi and Huang Feihu led their troops straight to the white horse, only Li Cunxiao remained in Dunqiu, standing still, as if he was still resting the army.

The actions of Bai Qi and Huang Feihu forced Le Yi to transfer Yin Zhou from Yan County to prevent the shortage of white horse defenders.

In addition, although Li Cunxiao in Dunqiu did not move, Le Yi had to guard against it. After all, Li Cunxiao's three thousand flying tiger troops could withstand fifty thousand Wei and Ming coalition forces. Now that he has twenty thousand more troops in hand, his The threat was not in vain.

East County, White Horse.

Le Yi originally had a lot of headaches about the war, but when he learned that Ye Dingzhi came to Dongjun and encountered an assassination on the way, he subconsciously thought that Xun You sent someone to do it, so he quickly asked Xun You to ask if he did it.

Xun You was also very wronged. He did have this heart and put it into action, but the target was not Ye Dingzhi. After all, Niu Hong was right under his nose, but he went to assassinate Ye Dingzhi.

After listening to Xun You's explanation, Le Yi felt that it made sense, and believed that he was not the one who did it, but who would it be if it wasn't Xun You?

Could it be that as Ye Dingzhi said, the people from Heibingtai really did it?
But it doesn't make sense.

Le Yi felt that it was definitely not possible for Heibingtai to do it. After all, Daqin had already reached an agreement with Momen, and Heibingtai assassinated Ye Dingzhi at this time.

As for who?There is a high probability that Cao Wei's people did it. After all, pulling the devil's door into the water is indeed a major way for Cao Wei to save himself.

And assassinated Ye Dingzhi once, after that
But since Ye Dingzhi was bitten to death by Heibingtai, Le Yi is naturally happy to see such a situation.

Le Yi and Xun You looked at each other, both of them were silent, so this topic will stop here, and no one should bring it up again.

"By the way, military advisor, you won't really attack Niu Hong, will you?"

Thinking of this, Le Yi suddenly turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: "Ye Dingzhi was assassinated, if something happens to Niu Hong, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

"Major Governor, please rest assured, You's target is not Niu Hong, but someone else, and his hands and feet are clean, so no one will suspect us." Xun You explained with a light smile.

Hearing what Xun You said, Le Yi breathed a sigh of relief. There were already enough bad things on the battlefield, and he didn't want to lose completely outside the battlefield.

On the other side, Ye Dingzhi took the dark iron fan, and after entering the Ming camp, he briefly explained the process of coming here, and prepared to take Niu Hong away.

Grandpa Minghe, father Niu Mowang, and mother Ming Tieshan all hope that Niu Hong will return to Mount Tai and stop participating in the Central Plains War.

Niu Hong originally planned to go with his mother, but when he learned that his mother was assassinated by the Black Ice Platform on the way, and even almost died, he was completely enraged. Give the despicable Daqin a little color.

"Mother, if I don't leave, my child will never become a deserter. My leg injury will heal in less than a month. There is no need to go back to Mount Tai to recuperate. The bumps along the way may even cause the wound to worsen."

Niu Hong said with a stubborn face, but his eyes were full of anger.

Ming Tiefan and Ye Dingzhi looked at each other, knowing that they might be self-defeating, but Ming Tiefan still persuaded: "Hong'er, so what if you recover from your injuries? Can you beat Jia Fu or Li Cunxiao? On the battlefield Just leave it to your father, and mother only hopes that you will be safe and sound."

"..."

The corners of Niu Mowang's mouth twitched, cooperating with the son is important, but the husband is not, right?It's still Yumian who cares about my old cow.

No matter how Ming Tieshan and Niu Mowang tried to persuade him, Niu Hong just didn't want to leave.

Ming Tie Fan also had a violent temper, so he immediately decided to forcefully take him away, but he didn't expect a guard to report suddenly: "General, it's not good, the second general, he..."

Niu Mowang's expression changed, he picked up the soldier, and asked, "What's wrong with my second brother?"

"Second General, his injury relapsed and died."

"what?"

Niu Mowang's eyes widened immediately, and after calling out 'Second Brother' sadly, he left without looking back and rushed to the ward of his second brother Niu Ruyi.

Seeing this, Ming Tiefan couldn't care less about taking Niu Hong away. After looking at his nephew Ye Dingzhi, he saw that Ye Dingzhi was also frowning at this time, and then shook his head at her.

After Ming Tie Fan understood, her heart suddenly sank, and she even wanted to take her son away. After all, the situation is too complicated now, and it is impossible to tell who is the enemy and who is the friend, except for her nephew and husband. Who should I trust, and how can I rest assured that my son will stay in this right and wrong place.
