Chapter 216 The enemy of the enemy is a friend

After the banquet, Li Lingfu did not immediately ask Xuancheng for Li Yan's intention to find Qingnicheng. In the study where he lived, several cavalry generals from the Crane Army who had followed him to travel to Liaodong, his three sons who had just become adults, and several old servants of Bu Bo who were left as the old city lord of his father. In addition, his wife, Mrs. Gao, also attended the meeting together.

"Where did Li Yan come from?" asked Li Meng, the chief aide of Qingni City, who is nearly 70 years old. Although the chief aide of the Li family's third generation city lord, he asked. Although the chief aide is old, he is energetic and energetic, with a childish face and a red face. He has experienced the chief aide of the Li family in Qingnipu and has always served as the chief aide of the chief aide, and Li Lingfu also relies heavily on him.

Li Lingfu stroked the purple clay teapot on his fingers and turned to look at his second son, Li Juyi, who was only twenty years old. "Erlang, I asked you to collect information that is good at Li Yan. How did you collect it?"

Li Juyi and Li Lingfu were printed in the same shape. He was born when Li Lingfu was still a horse thief in Yingzhou, Xixi Liao, and he did not return to Qingnipu until he was ten years old. When he returned to Qingnipu, he was ten years old and he had already ridden a horse and his third brothers and three brothers and shot arrows with his father. He not only went to the battlefield at the age of ten, but also shot three Duli Town soldiers himself. To this day, half of his left ear was missing, which was cut off by a Duli Town soldier in that battle. If the boss had not shot the soldier with one arrow in time, he might have died ten years ago.

The tiger father has no dog son. Li Juyi, who is only 20 years old, is already a captain in the Crane Control Army. Compared with Li Juren, who has been staying in the city for many years, he has the temperament of a father. He habitually touched the ears that were left on the other side. He slowly said: "Li Guan, whose courtesy name is Ji Yu. His ancestral home is Yingzhou, Liaoxi, and his ancestors were the Pinglu Army School for generations. Later, he crossed the sea to Qingzhou with the army. His grandfather was Pinglu, Ziqing.

The head of the army of the Jiedushi Li Shidao, the army later attacked Ziqing Town and died on the battlefield. His grandmother moved to Wang Lizhuang, Qingning Township, Mouping County, Dengzhou, with his father, who abandoned Wu and followed Wen, and failed to pass the imperial examination. Later, he was a record-keeping officer in Tancheng and died in the Qiufu Rebellion when Li Guan was seven years old. Li Guan was raised by his widow's mother since childhood. He studied literature with his mother when he was young and obtained the qualification for a tribute in the village. However, because his elder brother sent grain to Xuzhou, he died in the Pang Xun Rebellion and failed to participate in the imperial examination."

"Just last year, my brother died at the hands of Yan Ding, and he also survived. Later, he was framed and imprisoned. He was almost exiled to Yili, and was released from prison with a general amnesty. Then he took the initiative to join the Dengzhou Unity Army for the same village. He was appreciated by former Dengzhou Governor Cui Yunqing, Sima Yuqin, and King Zhao Li Jue for assassinating bandits on the road. He rose to prominence and became the leader of the Unity Army."

"A few years ago, he became the general of Shamen Town in Da Xie Fort. Last month, the One-Eyed Dragon personally led nearly two thousand pirates to attack Shamen Island, but he was defeated and annihilated by a group of new recruits."

The boss manager Li Meng half-closed his eyes, "That's all?"

Li Juyi flipped through the hand scroll on his hand, "There is still some information. But it has not been confirmed yet."

"Let me tell you first." Li Meng said directly.

"Also, we heard a leak of unconfirmed information. Li Yan's entry into Shamen Town was actually the meaning of Song Wen, the new governor of Dengzhou. The intention was to let Li Yan enter the garrison of Dengzhou like a wedge. It is said that this is also the meaning of Song Wei and Cui Yunqing, the general general of Ziqing. There is also a rumor that Feng Yanqing, the former chief of Dengzhou, was actually the ambush and assassinated by Li Yan under the name of pirates."

"In addition, the attack and capture of Cat Island not long ago, our people suspected that this was done by Zhen Donghai, who had the words "Legend" and Li Guan was also involved, even the mastermind."

The study room was extremely quiet. The excuse for Duli Town and Beisha City to attack Qingnipu this time was that they attacked Mao Island. If this was Li Guan's mastermind, wouldn't they be implicated by Li Guan?

"Is there any?" Li Lingfu, who had not spoken, said without saying anything, with no expression on his face.

"A message I just received, the one-eyed dragon was captured in Tieshan's nest yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon, a fierce naval battle occurred in Tieshan Harbor. Feng Zhang's group of thirty-seven sub-ships and more than a dozen ships of the one-eyed dragon joined forces to be ambushed by forces suspected of being Zhendonghai in Tieshan Harbor. In this battle, the suspected forces in Zhendonghai used an extremely powerful fire, and the Feng family's fleet was defeated, and only more than ten ships fled back to Wuhu Island. However, Wuhu Island was attacked by Li Guan, and the ten more ships finally escaped Li Guan's pocket and were all captured."

The news was shocked by Li Lingfu, "How much credibility is the information? Also, what kind of ships are the fleet of Feng Zhang? How many people are there?"

"The news has just arrived, but it has not been confirmed, but the possibility is very high. Even if it has not been confirmed, the spies dare not send back such important news. Feng Zhang's squadron had thirty-seven warships, led by the captain Wu Qian of the Black Mountain Fort, and several officers of the Da Xie Fort, and his nephew Feng Ming was the supervisor of Du Yuhou. The thirty-seven warships included a tower ship, two fighting ships, ten sea falcons, four boats, eight ships, and twelve yachts. Among them, four sea falcon ships were the latest modified iron armored sea falcons."

There was a sound of gasping in the room. Such thirty-seven warships were almost as powerful as the poor fleet of 3,000 people in Qingnipu. Such a force was actually destroyed if it was said to be eliminated. It was incredible.

The third brother Li Juli curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Why can the second brother take everything for example? Zhendonghai is just a barely platoon of pirates on the Liaohai Sea, and even the one-eyed dragon is not weaker than them. Even if they join forces with Li Guan, it is impossible to eliminate such a fleet. What's more, this battle is basically completely fought by a group of pirates in Zhendonghai, but Li Guan took over Wuhu Fort. How could this be true? When did the pirates become so powerful that they can not only quietly capture a heavily guarded fort city island like Mao Island, but now they have even destroyed a powerful fleet." Li Juli was only nineteen years old at this time. He was not like his eldest brother's literary work, nor was he the second brother's martial arts, but he had a sense of arrogance and madness.

Li Lingfu reached out to stop Li Juli's plan to continue. He sighed and said heavily: "I think this matter is very likely to be true."

Mrs. Gao said, "Li Yan's messenger is on the island. Why not send someone to ask him? Don't you know everything?" Mrs. Gao did not participate in the affairs of the city at will, but Li Lingfu often asked her about affairs of the one-star. Her words were very important in Li Lingfu's heart.

The boss manager Li Meng also opened his eyes and said with a solemn look: "I also think that these news is true. From the fact that Li Yan actually sent someone to attend Zhongmou's birthday and even gave us such a heavy gift, I just gave us a big money-making business at the banquet. It can be seen that Li Yan is also an ordinary person. You have just heard of Li Yan's information. Last year, he was just a tribute to the village tribute and almost died in prison. But now, in less than a year, he is already a general in the town, with his own territory and troops, and even annihilated more than a thousand pirates who attacked with just one effort. This person can be literary and military, and he also needs the help of noble people. It is really not easy. No matter how many things he does, I don't think it is strange."

"If these are true, then Li Guan would be too brave. Not only did he assassinate Shangguan Shangyanqing, but he also secretly colluded with the pirate Zhendonghai and even attacked Mao Island. Now he has destroyed the fleet of Feng Zhang and occupied Wuhu Island. Wouldn't he rebel? What does it mean to come to us now?" The boss Li Juren was secretly shocked. This Li Guan was too fierce, and he was completely a fearless person.

"I think this is good news." Li Meng has experienced too much and has seen the ups and downs of Qingni City. He has also looked at things more thoroughly than the three brothers Li Juren. "Founding this situation, Li Guan is a completely tiger. It can even be said that this is a tiger deliberately released by Song Wei, Cui Yunqing and others in order to disrupt the mixed water in Dengzhou. Originally, the matter in Dengzhou had nothing to do with us, but in fact, Da Xiezhai and our Qingnipu are only more than a hundred miles away. Since Li Guan dared to attack Mao Island, enter the Tieshan Town Tieshan to suppress the one-eyed dragon nest, lure and annihilate the Zhang squadron, and even seize Wuhu Island, it can be seen that this is not a person who acts according to routine."

"I have seen many such people, and they are generally divided into two categories. One is a madman. In the end, this kind of person is either killed by the enemy or killed by his own hands. Another is like Li Guan, who seems reckless, but in fact every step is carefully calculated. Taking one step, he has calculated three steps and seen ten steps away. If such a person is an enemy, it is terrible, but Li Guan will not become our enemy. This is a blessing."

"How can I see it?"

"Enjoy, everything comes from interests. We and Li Guan have no conflict of interest now. It can even be said that we have a common enemy. Our main enemy is Duli Town, and Li Guan's biggest enemy is Feng Zhang. Don't forget that among the thirty-six representatives in Duli Town, one of them is the Feng family, and there are several families connected to the Feng family. Li Guan came to us because he was afraid that Duli Town would take action against him. The enemy's enemy is friends. We are all enemies of Duli Town, so we can be friends."
