Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 154 The easiest way to destroy a faction is to stir up internal conflicts
South Star City West.

On the low hills, sparse grass and trees are scattered on the rocks, making the surrounding environment look a bit desolate.

Cao Zhengchun was wearing a crimson brocade robe, standing on the top of the hill, his back slightly hunched, his long pale hair hanging down his shoulders.

He looked at the Southern Star City in the distance, and waited quietly.

At this time, the atmosphere of Nanxing City seemed extremely chilling, as if it was pressed by an extremely heavy aura, like dense clouds and strong wind.

To the east of Southern Star City is an endless barracks with no end in sight.

That was the barracks of the Mingyue Army and the Yuezhou Guarding Army.

Just as Cao Zhengchun was standing quietly, a few war horses galloped out of Nanxing City in the distance, heading straight for the hill where Cao Zhengchun was.

Looking at the team of cavalry, Cao Zhengchun had a kind smile on his face.

After a while, the war horse came to him, and Mao Jiang jumped off the horse.

"Eunuch Zhu!"

He looked at Cao Zhengchun with some hesitation.

"Our family, Zhu Ji, has met Lord Hou!"

Cao Zhengchun bowed slightly and said with a smile.

Mao Jiang hurriedly replied, "I've seen Mr. Zhu!"

When the two met, Cao Zhengchun got straight to the point and said, "Master Hou should know why our family came here."

Mao Jiang nodded solemnly, then took out a booklet from his pocket, and said, "This is what I know about the night."

Cao Zhengchun took the document and opened it, glanced at it casually, and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work, our family will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible!"

"However, there is one more thing our family wants to ask Lord Hou."

"Please speak, Mr. Zhu!" Mao Jiang said.

"Can Lord Hou control Nanyang City?" Cao Zhengchun asked.

Mao Jiang's expression was slightly condensed, and after a little silence, he said, "I can only control half of Nanyang City."

"What about the other half?"

"In the hands of the night."

"Who is in charge?" Cao Zhengchun looked at him.

Mao Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Ji Ming, the former commander of the Yunzhou capital."

"En! Ji Ming!" Cao Zhengchun showed a thoughtful expression.

Before Mao Jiang rebelled, Ji Ming was the commander of the Yunzhou capital, in charge of the Yunzhou capital's yamen and more than a dozen guards.

Compared with Mao Jiang, this Ji Ming is very low-key and inconspicuous.

Until now, few people have paid attention to him, or it should be that most people have forgotten him.

"Is he a man of the night?"

"That's right." Mao Jiang nodded and said, "But please don't startle the snakes, Mr. Zhu."

"Ji Ming is the person who talks about Yemu in Yunzhou. If you want to understand Yemu, you have to go through him. At present, I plan to stabilize Yemu first. When the Lanyue army approaches Nanyang City, it will be the time to draw Yemu."

Cao Zhengchun looked solemn and said, "Are you planning to use Lanyue's army to lure the night?"

"Well, from the current point of view, Yemu attaches great importance to Nanyang City, and they intend to use Nanyang City as the starting point for their invasion of our dynasty."

"As long as there is a crisis in Nanyang City, they will definitely not stand by." Mao Jiang said.

The rebellion in Nanyang City was a situation arranged by Lihuang and him for more than ten years. The purpose was to draw out Yemu and find out the details of Yemu.

In Lihuang's layout, Lan Yuehou was just incidental, as for Qin Wei, it wasn't even incidental, but Lihuang wanted him to stay away from the capital, so he was thrown to Shuzhou.

"Our family knows, but our family will still keep an eye on Nanyang City." Cao Zhengchun said.

"That's natural. It might be better if Eunuch Zhu can show it." Mao Jiang said.

"Are you planning to let our family put some pressure on them?" Cao Zhengchun said.

"Hmm! The night scene is very mysterious, and the information I know is still relatively shallow. If you want to understand the night scene in a deeper level, you must give them enough pressure." Mao Jiang said.

Cao Zhengchun thought for a while, and said: "Our family understands, and our family will cooperate with you!"

"Thank you!" Mao Jiang bowed his hands in thanks.

……

Feather Witch Court.

As Zhao Gao successively captured ninth-rank warriors, all the clans in the northern part of the Feather Witch King's Court fell into panic.

Among the various clans of the Feather Witch Royal Court, every ninth-rank martial artist holds a high position, either as the head of a clan, or as an elder of a clan, and the lowest is the worship of a great clan.

Every move of such a person has a great influence, not to mention missing more than a dozen people in a row, even if one or two people disappear, it will cause a shock.

Luowang Shanping stronghold.

Zhao Gao walked into a large wooden house and looked at the dozen or so prisoners in the room casually.

These prisoners were their harvest during this time, and almost all the ninth-rank warriors except the Black Feather clan in the northern area of ​​the Feather Witch King's Court were captured.

But now they have stopped their actions, because this matter has attracted the attention of the entire Feather Witch Court, and many innate warriors have already arrived in the northern region. If they continue to act, they may lose nothing.

So Zhao Gao has already planned to stop this operation, send these people back to Shuzhou first, and then proceed to the next step.

In the dim wooden house, Zhao Gao's eyes swept over the people on the shackles, and suddenly his eyes stopped.

"Who is he?"

He looked at one of the shriveled old men and asked.

"My lord, he is the Falling Feather Clan Falling Shaman." The attendant next to him replied.

Zhao Gao took a step forward and looked at the unconscious wizard.

A wizard is a relatively special cultivation system of the barbarians, just like Dali's Confucianism cultivation.

Confucianism cultivators mainly practice Confucian scriptures and comprehend the laws of nature and human hearts, while wizards mainly comprehend the rules of nature.

There are also various methods of wizards, some are good at controlling beasts, some are good at using poison, and some are good at observing the nature of the world and predicting celestial phenomena.

In short, wizards are like a hodgepodge, good at all kinds of mysterious methods, not as pure as martial arts and Confucianism.

"wizard!"

Zhao Gao came to the old man, thought about it, and slapped him to death.

Wizards are not warriors, and they cannot use Yuan Devouring Pills to cultivate them into innate warriors. Not only is it useless to keep them, but it may cause trouble.

After all, Zhao Gao didn't know much about wizard's methods.

If this old thing knows how to control beasts and use birds to deliver news, wouldn't they be exposed, or if this guy poisons them with Gu poison, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Get ready and send them back to Shuzhou!" Zhao Gao told his followers.

"Here!"

Afterwards, Zhao Gao walked out of the wooden house and stood on the top of the cliff, looking at the vast mountains.

The task Qin Wei entrusted to him has been completed, but his follow-up plan is not over yet.

Before leaving the Feather Witch Court, he also prepared a small gift for the Feather Witch Court.

"The easiest way to destroy a power is to stir up internal conflicts."

"When the conflict reaches an unavoidable level, no matter how powerful a force is, it will fall apart in an instant."

"The Feather Witch Court is not far from falling apart."

On the cliff, Zhao Gao's subtle voice gradually diffused with the breeze, like ghosts whispering, or like gnats leaping and insects chirping, chirping, rustling, making people inaudible.

……

at the same time.

In Qingyu City, the home of the Qingyu Clan, a group of senior officials of the Qingyu Witch Clan gathered in the grand hall.

A dignified atmosphere filled the entire hall, and everyone's faces were heavy and cold.

Hu Shen, the patriarch of the Qingyu clan, sat on the main seat, his eyes were fixed, and he didn't say a word.

Sitting on his left and right sides were two skinny old men, they were wizards from the Qingyu clan.

Wizards have a very high status in the barbarian tribes, and wizards exist in almost a slightly larger tribe. They are second only to the patriarchs, and their status is even higher than the elders.

In barbarians, wizards are symbols of wisdom.Maybe they also have powerful abilities, but the reason why they have such a high status is that they possess the knowledge and wisdom of ordinary people far away.

The left and right wizards of the Qingyu clan are Jin Lan and Jin Tuosi respectively.

"In one month, four branch chiefs and elders of our Qingyu clan disappeared! But now we don't even know who the enemy is!"

Hu Shen with a rough face said in a cold voice.

At the beginning, when the patriarch and elders of Moling Mountain City disappeared, they didn't pay much attention to it, but then the patriarchs of two sub-clans disappeared, and they could no longer ignore it.

"Patriarch, it's not just us, Bai Yu and Akabane have also lost many experts. According to our knowledge, the number of missing experts has reached more than ten."

"That's the problem. We all have strong people missing, but the Black Feather Clan doesn't."

"It's not just the Black Feather Clan, those small Feather Clans also don't have any strong ones missing."

"Little Feather Clan! Naturally, they don't need to suppress them. Only us Qingyu, Baiyu and Chiyu are regarded as thorns in the eyes of the Black Feather Clan!"

"This is made by the Black Feather Clan!"

"That's right, who else could do such a thing except them?"

……

In the hall, the elders of the Qingyu clan discussed a lot, and finally identified the murderer of the strong man's disappearance as the Heiyu clan.

It's no wonder they think so, the conflict between the Black Feather clan and the other three clans has a long history, and the Black Feather clan has been sparing no effort to suppress the other three clans all these years.

The Black Feather Clan has done this kind of thing more than once.

The battle between the Feather Witch Royal Court and Dali is the most convenient means for the Black Feather clan to suppress the other three clans.

But now, a large number of powerful people in their clan are missing, and they put this matter on the heads of the Heiyu clan almost without thinking about it.

Now even if Zhao Gao stood up and said that he did it, these people probably wouldn't believe it.

This is the great gift Zhao Gao left for the Feather Witch Royal Court.

"We must ask the Black Feather Clan for an explanation!"

"That's right, patriarch, we can't sit still and wait for death. If this goes on, our Qingyu clan may be wiped out by them!"

"Yes, we must let them release him. If they don't release him, then we will fight to the death with them!"

"Unite the Akabane and Baiyu clans, we will fight them!"

Voices filled with righteous indignation resounded in the hall, adding a bit of chill to the heavy atmosphere.

Hu Shen sat on the main seat, with a gloomy glint in his eyes.

He is also suspicious of the Black Feather Clan, but he still has some doubts in his heart.

He couldn't understand why the Black Feather Clan would do this?
It is true that the Heiyu clan is the dominant family in the Feather Witch King's court today, but if they unite with Qingyu, Chiyu, and Baiyu, it is not impossible to challenge the Heiyu clan.

Although the Black Feather Clan has been suppressing their three clans all the time, they don't dare to go too far.

Hu Shen had some doubts in his heart that this matter was not done by the Heiyu clan.

"You two wizards, what do you think?" He asked Jin Lan and Jin Tuosi on both sides.

Jin Lan and Jin Tuosi glanced at each other.

"The Black Feather Clan is the most likely, but we'd better not act recklessly now!" Jin Lan said in a hoarse voice.

However, Jin Tuosi shook his head slightly and said, "This may be our chance."

"Ok!"

Both Hu Shen and Jin Lan looked at him in surprise.

"Give Qingyu, Baiyu and Akabane a chance to unite!" Jin Tuosi said again.

Hu Shen heard the words and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The reason why they couldn't fight against the Heiyu clan was because there were many gaps among the three clans, and they couldn't really unite together.

If they are united through this matter, they will have the qualifications to fight against the Black Feather Clan.

At that time, maybe the Black Feather Clan can be pulled down from the throne.

"But if we don't solve the people behind the scenes, will there be people missing in the future?" Jin Lan asked.

Uniting the other two clans can fight against the Black Feather clan, but it cannot solve the problem of the disappearance of the strong.

"These two things are not contradictory. It is more conducive for us to investigate this matter together, and it is also more conducive to fighting against the Black Feather Clan." Jin Tuosi said.

Hu Shen nodded, what he said was correct, in short, joining forces with Bai Yu and Akabane would not do any harm to them now.

In the past, there were many conflicts of interest among the three clans, and they were all defensive and hostile to each other, making it difficult to reach a true alliance.

But now that there is more pressure, they may be able to let go of their hostility and defensiveness and form a close alliance.

"That's the decision. I'll arrange someone to contact the White Feather and Akabane Clans first."

Hu Shen directly confirmed the matter.

Jin Lan and Jin Tuosi looked at each other, nodded, and agreed with his decision.
