When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Although they call each other nephew and uncle, they are actually very distantly related.

Li Gui's biological mother was a minor noble from the Si clan. In the early years, the Li clan was not strong enough, so Li Gui's father asked for a minor noble woman to marry him.

Later, Li Gui's father expanded the tribe, and Li Gui's biological mother passed away, so he married a woman with the surname Si. It happened that this woman with the surname Si was Zihe's aunt, and the two of them had some relationship.

The Li State collapsed again ten years ago because of the rebellion of the Li people.

He then found an opportunity to bring his people to seek refuge with his "uncle", but in fact Li Gui was more than ten years older than Zi Hu.

Zihu glanced at Li Gui. He had a lot of ideas of his own and he was the only one who could listen to him complain.

Although he has gathered many people under his command during this period, they are actually all Huaiyi nobles, and the tribal leaders are still there. He wants to manipulate these nobles, but he is afraid that he will collapse if he is not careful.

Therefore, he needs time and war to sort out the forces and integrate all the forces under his command.

He carefully collected the development history of various forces in the north and south.

In the end, only one solution was found: "Yes, I will give them a chance. Remember Bei Bo who asked you to learn more about him before?"

"Beibo..." Upon hearing this, Li Gui nodded repeatedly and said, "Yan State has 100,000 people, and Beibo gathered them. Although his methods were not glorious, Yan State was able to rise quickly. Beibo's military merit system is quite good."

At this point, Li Gui was stunned, and then looked at Zi Hu with a look of curiosity: "Could it be that uncle wants to imitate me?"

"Yes, I will follow suit." Zihu did not deny it and said directly, "The origins of the people under our command are too diverse, and they are not convinced of each other. The reason is that the noble leader is still there, but if I want these nobles to give up the main position they have occupied, I can't have a powerful mother clan like Bei Bo for the time being, and then start accumulating all over again.

Therefore, I must take advantage of now to consume these nobles.

As you saw today, many nobles were captured in direct combat.

Although these prisoners can be exchanged back, I do not plan to exchange them back in the short term. Instead, I want to make sure that they are dead!"

At this point, Zihu glanced outside to make sure that no one else was around, and then he continued to say to Li Gui: "So, contact Xue Wushang and tell him that as long as he cooperates with me.

After the matter is accomplished, I will arrange for him to have the Xueyi, Tengyi, Liyi, and Xuyi (most of which are in today's Zaozhuang) that he wants. "

"Ah? Really give it to you?" Li Gui was a little bit unbelievable, because Liyi was his family's land!
"Don't worry. After the success, it's still unclear whether he will get the land or not. Even if we give it to him, he has so many people left. Can he keep it? Besides, in the next war, I will not support the old man going north. So, this piece of land will definitely fall into my hands." Zihu's tone was excited, as if he was sure of victory.

Seeing that Li Gui was puzzled, Zi Hu continued to explain: "Turtle.

My two brothers were sent by the old man to various places to recruit foreigners.

In the end, if he used the help of these foreign tribes, he would seize the throne of King Shang.

That old man will be just like King Shang and will not be able to hold on to his position.

Do you know why the King of Shang is so eager to attack us now? Isn't it because all the foreign tribes he relied on have collapsed?

If it weren't for Beibo, the position of King of Shang would have returned to our lineage long ago.

So, for me, as long as I can defeat Zihe head-on this time, no matter how despicable the means are, as long as I don't rely on the coalition forces of foreign races, I will naturally be recognized by other nobles.

After all, I was just using tricks, but Zihe was despicable!

Then, if Zihe wanted to maintain his position, he would have only two options: First, sacrifice himself to the Emperor and ensure the survival of his line.

Second, if the throne is handed over, it will most likely not be given to us, but to Zixun.

If Zixun wants to stabilize the situation, he will definitely find a way to win us over.

The old man will definitely want to go north, and my two brothers will also want to go north, because they are plotting the position of King of Shang.

But this throne is useless to me. As long as Zixun agrees to enthronize me as a vassal, I can help him suppress the south. I can also take the opportunity to obtain a large amount of supplies from him and strengthen myself at the same time.

Beibo’s operations over the years have opened my eyes.

As long as you are strong enough, no matter how many members of the Shang clan you have or how powerful you are, no one can provoke you easily!

Therefore, only when you become strong can you influence the situation."

"But if we betray King Geng of Shang, will it cause public outrage?" Li Gui was still a little nervous.

Li Gui was an eyewitness to the rebellion of the Qi people in the past, and he was well aware of the capabilities of King Geng of Shang.

After Li Gui said this, Zi Hu actually relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "The old man is no longer capable. Didn't you see that he has been hiding in Peng's family all these years? If he had his own subordinates and people to use, why would he need to hide in Peng's family?
Even this time, he asked my two brothers to go to Danshan and Zhushu to seek help instead of sending someone else to represent his intention.

Isn't it just that he is worried that the power between him and those two clans is not equal?

But my two brothers are different, they hold the real power in the tribe. As long as they get through, with the help of my sisters, these foreign forces will definitely send troops to help them continue to compete for the throne.

But so what? All I have to do next is defeat Zihe before them, and then join forces with Zixun to suppress Huaishang in turn.

They will definitely fight over who is the heir to the throne. After all, I also contributed to the old man being able to stay in Peng's family with peace of mind.

Although my tribe is weak, I can at least protect the old man by guarding Piyi. They are also afraid that if the old man and I are pushed too far, we will take people to Yanshang and directly announce the abdication, which will completely make them illegal.

Now, if I leave, there will be no one to take care of the old man."

After analyzing so much in one breath, Zihu closed his eyes and pursed his lips for a moment before sighing, "After all, my background has limited my future in the Shang clan.

However, as long as Xue Wushang can cooperate with me this time, I have an 80% chance of attacking Zihe by surprise and destroying Zihe's entire division in one fell swoop!

As long as Zihe is defeated, my problem of becoming a feudal lord and enfeoffed as a vassal will be solved!

When the time comes, I will hand over Liyi to you, and let you restore the Li family!"

"Really!" Li Gui's eyes lit up, and he quickly said in a firm tone, "Uncle, don't worry, I will contact Xue Wushang right away. If he doesn't cooperate, I will find a way to kill him and replace him with another Xue family heir.

The Xue clan was different from other tribes, they were very scattered and they valued the military strength of the successor. Xue Wushang had to be chosen because of the temporary chaos.

But as long as he cannot gain prestige in the next war, replacing him will only be a vote of the elders. I think this time, as long as we can help him defeat King Shang, he will definitely cooperate with us."

"Okay! Contact us quickly!"

Not long after Zihu waited for Pigui to leave, while he was stirring the charcoal fire, a young man in a gorgeous robe came in, took a look at the charcoal fire in front of Zihu and said with a smile: "Liwu greets Pizi." (End of this chapter)
