: A common man is guilty of carrying a jade while he is not guilty

It is early winter in the eighth year of Qingli.

The rebellion of the Marquis of Chengyang, which shocked the world, came to an end.

The Marquis of Chengyang, who had been resisting for several months, led a group of confidants to fight to the death in Linjiang City, and finally committed suicide after running for three thousand miles.

At this point, the Chengyang army collapsed.

The three land gods of the White Lotus Sect, who are known as the Three Saints of the White Lotus, personally went to the scene and quickly gathered the remaining troops of the White Lotus Sect and retreated to the northern border of Yunzhou, returning to the White Lotus Sect's base camp.

The imperial court divided its forces into three groups and swept hundreds of thousands of troops across Yunliang and Qingzhou, continuously encircling and suppressing the remnants of the rebels. At the same time, it allocated most of its troops to advance towards the northern border of Yunzhou, vowing to completely destroy the White Lotus Sect.

However, when the imperial army rushed to the northern border, they encountered stubborn resistance from the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect was deeply rooted in the northern border of Yunzhou. It also coincided with the onset of winter and early snowfall in Yunzhou. It seemed difficult to completely regain the northern border. In this case,

The emperor personally appointed Ji Fu, Duke of Lu, known as the Military God of Great Xia, to take command and rush to Yunzhou.

The war begins again,

Ji Fu lived up to his reputation as a military god. He commanded several battles in a row and defeated the White Lotus Sect without losing any temper. The imperial army continued to advance, and the White Lotus Sect came to envoy peace talks.

The northern border of Yunzhou, the imperial military camp.

In a tent, a large group of people were sitting. These people were all high-level officials involved in the war to regain Yunzhou, including those from the military, those from the Qintian Supervisor, and those from the six departments of the imperial court.

At this time, sitting in the main seat was a gray-haired old man with a stern face and wearing a suit of armor. Just sitting there, he was not angry or intimidating, creating a strong sense of oppression.

This person is Ji Fu, the coach of this Yunzhou battlefield.

In addition to being the Duke of the country, this Ji Fu also came from the Ji family of the current royal family. The fact that he will be in charge this time is also the result of the game between all parties.

The first person on the lower left side of Ji Fu is a rather handsome middle-aged man, who looks a bit gloomy. This man is the supervisor of the army - Pingjin Marquis Lu Chang.

The identity of the Marquis of Pingjin, Lu Chang, is not simple either. He is both the nephew of the current Queen Mother and the brother of the current Queen. He is also known as Lu Guojiu, and he is also the head of the Lu family, one of the three powerful families today.

The first person on the right is Zheng Qin You, the supervisor of Yunzhou Qintian Supervisor.

Speaking of which, although Qin You's status is not low, he is not even inferior to these two people. However, because of the success of the death plan, everyone knows that Qin You, as the executor, will be in full swing in the future, and even has

It is rumored that the emperor is already preparing to let Qin You return to the capital to take up the post of Taiwei, ranking among the three Dukes.

At this time, in addition to these three people, there were some officials in the camp. They were all people with very high status, and, without exception, they were the confidants of these three people.

Ji Fu looked at a letter on the desk and said, "Have you all read it?"

Supervisor Lu Chang nodded slightly and said: "The White Lotus Sect is willing to withdraw from the northern border, but it requires the imperial court to give them the Shiwan Mountain as a place to settle down."

"I think they are just talking nonsense!" Ji Fu snorted coldly and said: "They escaped by chance during the siege of the White Lotus Sect more than ten years ago. This time they even thought of negotiating directly with their noses. They also

match?"

There was silence in the camp, no one spoke.

Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What, do you have any other ideas?"

There was still silence in the camp.

After a while, Qin You smiled helplessly, cupped his hands towards Ji Fu and Lu Chang and said: "My lord, my lord, one of you is a marshal and the other is a supervisor. Such depressing words offend people.

, I can only speak for myself."

As he spoke, Qin You glanced around the crowd and said: "We must consider the White Lotus Sect's proposal. Although our army is now in full strength, the national treasury can no longer afford it, so it is not appropriate to waste too much time.

Regardless of the reason, Yunzhou has been fighting for three full years, and this year the war between Yunliang and Qingzhou has begun. The court has been unable to bear it. At the moment, it seems that the White Lotus Sect is retreating steadily, but we all know that the White Lotus Sect still has

The Three Saints of White Lotus are here, if we really want to chew them off, we will probably have to lose all our teeth.

Second, our top priority now is to regain the three states of Yunliangqing and Qing as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the serious losses of the Ling family and the Dugu clan, we can restore various orders in the three states as soon as possible. If it takes too long, no one can guarantee that the Northern Wei and the Southern

Will Jin cease the war and attack us?

We have limited time. We have been preparing to regain the three states for so many years before we found this opportunity. Once the Northern Wei and Southern Jin armistice, they will take advantage of the emptiness of the three states of Yunliangqing and take action. Therefore, it is the best choice not to continue fighting with the White Lotus Sect.

.

Nowadays, the White Lotus Sect is over. Entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is just a stronger Jianghu force. Although the Hundred Thousand Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, their own resources are also limited. Even if they have the intention, it will be difficult for them to gain momentum. What's more,

What we need is time. When the three states are completely calmed down, the White Lotus Sect will not have another chance to stir up trouble."

There were whispers in the camp for a while.

When Qin You saw this, he smiled helplessly,

In fact, everyone here is not stupid. They all know the current situation. The imperial court does not have much energy and time to fight against the White Lotus Sect.

It's just that no one wants to say it,

This decision will inevitably be criticized by both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty when he returns to Kyoto.

However, it doesn't matter to Qin You,

The Qintian Supervisor has the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, so he has naturally offended countless people. Over the years, he has been humiliated by the court for a long time, and he has become accustomed to it.

After a while of discussion,

Ji Fu said in a deep voice: "Master Qin, your consideration is very thoughtful, but there is a problem."

Qin You cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."

Ji Fu said slowly: "Speaking of which, this matter was caused by your mistake, Mr. Qin..."

Hearing this, Qin You reacted instantly and said, "Young master, are you talking about Yun Hou Gu Zhan?"

Ji Fu nodded slightly and said: "In order to cooperate with your plan, the imperial court gave Gu Zhanyun the title of Marquis of Zhanyun and the post of general of the army. Originally, at that time, he was thinking that he could only control a warrior at the peak of martial arts.

Fame has no influence, but now, who would have thought that he would break the limits of martial arts and directly capture the entire Yunxi.

Although he has not recruited many troops yet, but simply relying on his influence in Yunxi, it is difficult for anyone to interfere in Yunxi's affairs, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains are in his hands. Now he wants to take the Hundred Thousand Mountains

Can he agree to leave it to the White Lotus Sect? In addition, I am afraid that Marquis Yun will also be resentful of the imperial court?"

Qin You chuckled lightly and said: "Young Master is right. This matter is indeed a miscalculation on my part. I didn't expect that someone could really break the limit of martial arts. However, because of this, we need to bring the Hundred Thousand Mountain Mountain

Leave it to the White Lotus Sect."

Ji Fu frowned slightly and said, "How do you say that?"

"Check and balance," Qin You said: "Not to mention Yunxi, there is no one in the entire Yunzhou who can check and balance Gu Zhan. Now, although he has no thoughts, there is no guarantee that he will not have other thoughts in the future!

Therefore, it is a good thing to let the White Lotus Sect enter Shiwanda Mountain. Everyone knows that the White Lotus Sect has different intentions, and as the Marquis of Yun, Gu Zhan must be wary of the White Lotus Sect for a long time to form a check and balance.

"

At this moment, Pingjin Marquis Lu Chang, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly: "Master Qin, have you ever thought about what if Gu Zhan also has a different intention and cooperates with the White Lotus Sect?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the camp became a little depressing, and many people had unnatural looks on their faces.

Nowadays, Gu Zhan is famous all over the world and is at the peak of his popularity. Since he killed Lao Tianshi and Wei Wuya, he has gone from being the best master in the world to being the best in the world.

In this case, if Gu Zhan separatists and cooperates with the White Lotus Sect, the trouble he will cause will be no less than that of the Marquis of Chengyang, or even worse. It is simply raising a tiger to cause trouble.

Qin You smiled slightly and said: "This is my follow-up arrangement. You have never gotten along with this Yunhou, so you don't know his character.

This Gu Zhan is headstrong, loves great achievements, is arrogant and domineering, and is very arrogant. I think everyone has heard of these characteristics, but he also has another personality, that is, he will retaliate and kill everyone.

Given his character, as long as he is allowed to form a serious enmity with the White Lotus Sect, there will no longer be any possibility of cooperating with the White Lotus Sect, and the only choice is life and death."

Ji Fu's eyes lit up and he asked, "What are Master Qin going to do?"

Qin You said slowly: "Inform Gu Zhan directly about the White Lotus Sect's request for the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and then ask him to come to the north to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect. He has two choices, one is to come, the other is to find an excuse to avoid coming.

If he comes, let him serve as the general of the army and lead the army to fight against the White Lotus Sect. In the process, whether he will form a deadly feud with the White Lotus Sect is up to us to arrange...

…”

Qin You did not go into details.

However, everyone present could understand that even if Gu Zhan and the White Lotus Sect were restrained, they could secretly promote some deadly feuds, such as letting people close to Gu Zhan die at the hands of the White Lotus Sect.

Qin You continued: "In this battle, we only need to wait until Gu Zhan and the White Lotus Sect form a deadly feud, and then we will have a truce in the name of the imperial court being overwhelmed. Unless Gu Zhan can overthrow the White Lotus Sect alone, he will only

It will allow the White Lotus Sect to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

After a pause, Qin You said again: "If he doesn't come, we can let the White Lotus Sect enter Shiwanda Mountain openly. Gu Zhan can't find any reason to cause trouble. After all, he didn't come on his own, and we didn't.

The White Lotus Sect was successfully annihilated, but unfortunately the White Lotus Sect entered Shiwan Mountain.

As for the White Lotus Sect after they entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains, with Gu Zhan's arrogant and domineering character, all they need to do is cause them to have some conflicts, and a fight to the death can easily be achieved."

After that, Qin You bowed his hands to Ji Fu and Lu Chang and said: "Both two, to sum up, letting the White Lotus Sect enter Shiwanda Mountain is indeed a good thing that has the best of both worlds. First, it can calm down Yunliang Qingsan as soon as possible.

There are still so many rebels in Qingzhou and Liangzhou today because the White Lotus Sect has not yet been completely defeated.

Order can be restored quickly.

The second is to check and balance Gu Zhan. Gu Zhan is indeed a big trouble. At the beginning, I did not expect that he could achieve such an achievement. It is quite a bit like feeding a tiger into trouble, but it is okay.

After all, he is just a common man, and after the three states are pacified, he will have no chance to cause any more trouble!"

In the camp, everyone started talking about it.

After a while, almost everyone agreed with Qin You's decision.

However, Qin You still frowned, looked at Ji Fu and Lu Chang, cupped his hands and said: "Right now, I only have one doubt. I hope you can give me some advice."
