A knife in love

Chapter 3990
While Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Ye Fengchun continue to say: "Zhebie is a sinister and cunning man, but he didn't lie when he mentioned the internal strife in the Ikeda family just now. When I was in the Songhe Tower, I heard some Fusang officials and Several vassals of the daimyo said that Ikeda Hayao, the head of the Ikeda family, was an extremely powerful figure in controlling Shantang Hirano, but his sons did not live up to it, and gathered cronies to make housework. In order to protect themselves, Ikeda Hayao's vassals, I had to depend on the sons of Hayao Ikeda. These sons were incompatible with each other. It can be said that they were in the same situation. Right now Hayao Ikeda can still suppress his sons and all his retainers while he is alive. Once he dies, the Ikeda family will have to Chaos is inevitable. In order to preserve the power and position of the Ikeda clan, although Ikeda Jun knew that the eldest son Ikeda Kazuaki was not worthy of the throne and had mediocre intelligence, he had to make him the eldest son. In order to let Ikeda Kazuaki secure the position of the eldest son, After Ikeda's death, he can succeed to the throne safely. Ikeda Jun tried his best to support Ikeda Kazuaki, let him make more contributions, and suppress his younger brothers. If we can help Ikeda Kazuaki destroy Jebe and his gang, Ikeda Jun Kazuaki and Ikeda will definitely be grateful to us, not only will not embarrass us, but will also help us return to the pier safely."

After listening to Ye Fengchun's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that it was as I expected. Ye Fengchun weighed the situation and wanted to use the head of Zhebie's gang to make friends with the Ikeda family and expand Songhelou's power.If Huangjinzhai had nothing to do with the Ikeda family, it would be a clever plan for Ye Fengchun to get rid of Zhebie to please the Ikeda family.It's just that Jebe's gang met soldiers from the Ikeda family on the way and had a scuffle, and there might be other secrets behind it.If they followed Ye Fengchun's plan to attack Zhebie and his gang, not only would they not be able to form an alliance with the Ikeda family, they might even be besieged by the Ikeda family.Therefore, right now we must not turn against Zhebie. Instead, we must sit on the sidelines and watch the Jinzhai and Ikeda family fight to the death.

Li Qiufeng made up his mind, and then he said: "Mr. Ye's plan is very clever, and Li admires it. It's just that Li thought that Zhebie's gang had collided with the Ikeda family and killed each other. There is another hidden story. If we sneak up on Zhebe and his gang regardless, and use Zhebe's head to please the Ikeda family, once these two groups are manipulated by someone behind them, I am afraid that we will be self-defeating. Not only will we not be able to make the Ikeda family feel grateful to us, but It will be besieged by the Ikeda family, and things will be very difficult."

Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Ye Fengchun was startled, and said in his mouth, "Master Li said that these two groups of people did not meet by chance, but someone deliberately let them bump into each other and kill each other?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said, "The person behind him probably didn't deliberately let these two groups collide and kill each other, but wanted them to work together to do things for him. It's just the leader of the Ikeda family Too reckless, without finding out the identities of Jebe and his gang, they ambushed and besieged. Once we kill Jebe and his gang, the person behind will be furious and will definitely use the Ikeda family to deal with us. By then , we only have three or forty people, if we have to deal with the Ikeda family's troops, I'm afraid we will be defeated."

Although Ye Fengchun vaguely guessed the intention of Li Qiufeng's words, there were many joints that he couldn't figure out, so he frowned and didn't speak for a while.Murong Danyan didn't know what Li Qiufeng's words meant at all. He was anxious and couldn't help asking: "Brother Li, why can't I understand what you are talking about? Could it be that Zhebie's group is not the same as the Ikeda family? An enemy, but an accomplice, is it just because of a misunderstanding that they fight in the same room?!"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly after hearing what Murong Danyan said, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of a desolate horn in the distance. Seeing the soldiers and horses of the Ikeda family moving forward slowly, with swords and guns everywhere, the momentum is astonishing.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng hastily turned his head and said to Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun: "Zhebie's group is friends or enemies with the Ikeda family, and Li can't tell right now, but the situation is critical, the more intense the fight between these two groups is." , the more beneficial it is to us, we don't have to intervene in the fight between the two sides until it is absolutely necessary, remember, remember."

Although Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun were in doubt, they didn't dare to ask Li Qiufeng when they saw Li Qiufeng's serious expression.After a while, the sound of the horn gradually disappeared, and the sergeants of the Ikeda family approached in a dense manner, almost filling the entire valley.Seeing this situation, Ye Fengchun thought to himself that the Ikeda family had no fewer than 3000 troops, while Zhebie had less than 200 warriors. If Li Baihu and Mu Yatou did not help, the bastards in Huangjinzhai would definitely not be the Ikeda family's opponents.We hid behind Jebe and his gang. The Ikeda family must think we are friends of Huangjinzhai. After killing Jebe and his gang, they will never let us go.Just now Lao Tzu told Li Baihu about his interests and pointed out a way to survive, but Li Baihu was noncommittal and didn't take Lao Tzu's idea to heart.Alas, as the saying goes, he has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well. Although Li Baihu is highly skilled in martial arts, he is too young to handle everything well, but it is not surprising.I have to think of a way to let him know that the situation is critical now, if we don't try to get rid of Jebe and his gang, and use the heads of these tartars to please the Ikeda family, it will be even more difficult for us to get out of here.

While Ye Fengchun was thinking, the sergeants of Ikeda's family approached another twenty or thirty feet, only a hundred feet away from Jebe's group.Many sergeants of the Ikeda family couldn't hold their breath, and they drew their bows and arrows as they approached.It's just that the two sides are separated by more than a hundred feet. Although the sergeants of Ikeda's family are proficient in archery, they can't shoot the feather arrows more than a hundred feet away. He shook his head involuntarily, thinking to himself that an ordinary sergeant could shoot a feather arrow at most thirty or forty feet away, and once it exceeded fifty feet, even if the feather arrow could hit a person, most likely it would not be able to hurt anyone.Therefore, when a sergeant who is used to fighting is on the battlefield, unless he is only thirty or forty feet away from the enemy, he will never shoot his bow or arrow easily.If you shoot the feather arrows indiscriminately, not only will the arrows miss the enemy, but the arrows will also be consumed. When you are thirty or forty feet away and you can kill the enemy with the arrows, there are not many arrows left. Can't shoot the enemy at all.The sergeants of the Ikeda family shot arrows indiscriminately, which shows that they are not an elite division.
