Fifty miles away from Taizhou City.
After these few days, Lu Yun has modified most of the bows and crossbows in the tent. At the same time, the craftsmen under his command have also made crossbow beds according to his drawings, and the effect is very good.
However, with the war approaching, only ten units have been produced so far, but these ten units are enough.
As long as he takes Taizhou City, Lu Yun will be able to win.
I was thinking that if I made a strong move at the beginning, I would lose momentum the next time and then become anxious the next time. It would be better to make a strong move at the beginning and directly take over the four southeastern states and win a beautiful turnaround battle.
Central military camp.
Lu Yunduan was sitting on a chair when Shadow Guard Thirteen Zhao Cheng walked in and said hurriedly, "Eunuch Lu, the vicious woman has successfully approached Zhou Zhengtian."
"Also, we are aware that other people are secretly spreading some of the things that the adults said."
"Under the instigation of the femme fatale, Zhou Zhengtian has begun to harbor doubts and is skeptical of their alliance."
Lu Yun nodded when he heard this and said appreciatively, "Good! Well done."
"Where are the others?"
"Li Jing from Ningzhou and Xu Shanbao from Anzhou have already done it."
"good."
…
Liyue City.
Zhou Zhengtian didn't know what was going on recently. Ever since he brought the new top courtesan in the city home that day, he has been obsessed with this woman and believes everything she says.
A few days ago, his subordinates had been spreading rumors that someone in the temporary alliance formed by the four southeastern provinces actually wanted to kill him!
Xu Shanbao of Anzhou actually wanted to kill him and take away the military power from him. You should know that among the four rivers in the southeast, Anzhou is the closest to Yuecheng.
Zhou Zhengtian had reason to suspect that this matter was true and was definitely not fabricated. He also felt that this matter... was very strange. Could it be... that this was really the case?
And he had an even more surprising piece of news, that was that Li Jing of Ningzhou actually wanted to surrender to the court. He was clearly a rebel, but now he wanted to surrender to the emperor.
What's going on? What does it mean?
"Why, General, we've had another drink!"
"General, come quickly, General."
Zhou Zhengtian held this charming woman in his arms, her face was dazed and flushed, not knowing if it was because of drinking or for some other reason.
"General, why are you so worried lately?"
Zhou Zhengtian sighed helplessly and explained, "My beauty, you may not know this, but I've heard some gossip and rumors recently, but I don't know if they're true or not."
"I'm worried about these things and I don't know what to do."
The woman wore a faint smile and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard about this as well, but I think it seems to be true."
"How do you know?"
"General, everyone knows that Xu Shanbao is ambitious. From the very beginning of the rebellion, Xu Shanbao has always wanted to be the boss. Isn't this something that many people know? If it weren't for the fact that you are so powerful, he wouldn't admit it."
"And if Xu Shanbao really assassinates the general secretly, he might actually take away the general's military power, and then Liyue City will be in danger."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian began to hesitate. What he said made sense. There is a saying that goes, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one."
If this situation really happens, it will be too late to regret, and you must try your best to solve it.
"Also, General, this General Li Jingli has always been as cowardly as a mouse, and many people know this."
"He was born with this personality, a coward. Even if you give him more soldiers, it won't change."
"Now everyone knows that you have the support of Marquis Wenxin behind you. It was because of Marquis Wenxin that you rebelled."
"I think General Li Jing is a coward. If it weren't for Marquis Wenxin, he wouldn't dare to stand up."
"Now that the imperial court has sent troops, he must have lost his courage and wants to surrender to the imperial court."
“…”
At this time, Ningzhou City.
General's Mansion.
Li Jing was hugging a beautiful woman at the moment, his eyes were very confused. He ran over with a smile and hugged the beautiful woman tightly in his arms.
"My little beauty, here I come."
"General, you are bad!"
At this moment, Li Jing suddenly heard some noise outside, as if someone fell to the ground.
Wait! Could it be his personal guards?
Li Jing has always been a very cautious guy, so as long as there is any movement, he will be very alert and listen carefully with his ears pricked up.
When I heard the sound of someone falling outside, I became extremely scared.
"General, is everything alright?"
"No!" Li Jing drew out the sword in his hand with great concern, walked out quietly and pushed open the door.
At this moment, a long sword stabbed towards him like lightning.
Li Jing's eyes widened immediately. Fortunately, he was prepared and quickly looked back. Fortunately, he also saw that it was a man wearing the armor of his personal soldiers!
He was going to kill him, could he be an assassin? He had never seen this guard before, so he must be fake!
Li Jing was horrified and shouted, "There are assassins coming, there are assassins!"
The assassin took a cold look, as if showing no sign of leaving, and stabbed Li Jing directly.
Li Jing quickly dodged...
Soon, all the guards in his mansion arrived here and subdued the thief.
Li Jing was also startled! Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise, his life would be in danger today.
"Come here, bring him here!"
"yes!"
Li Jing looked at the assassin in front of him, gritting his teeth in anger. He couldn't help but question him angrily.
"Tell me! Who sent you here? Tell me!"
The assassin glanced at him with a hint of sarcasm, "If you don't tell me, who am I to tell you? You might as well kill me with a sword!"
"Hahaha, you won't tell me, right? How could I kill you so easily? If you don't tell me who sent you, I will let you know what it means to be unable to live or die."
“…”
After a lot of torture, Li Jing finally found out who was trying to commit suicide. He never expected that this person was Xu Shanbao from Anzhou!
How could he be so bold? Why did he come to assassinate me? What had I done wrong?
"Xu Shanbao, you are so unreliable. Is our alliance so unreliable? Do you really want to kill me?"
"Xu Shanbao, I really misjudged you."
And just yesterday, Xu Shanbao also experienced an assassination attempt. After continuous questioning, he learned that the person who assassinated him was actually sent by Li Jing.
Now, a hint of doubt arose in the minds of both of them.
