Chapter 2785: Conspiracy appears, Niu Ruyi dies
In Guo Jia''s opinion, no matter whether the Demon Sect does not end, it will not be able to prevent the Qin Dynasty from destroying the Three Kingdoms and completely occupying the Central Plains. At most, it will only be delayed for a period of time.
From the perspective of the Black Ice Platform, Guo Jia even hopes that the Demon Sect will end, because he is the Black Ice Platform, and he needs to think about his subordinates, and dealing with the Demon Sect can undoubtedly make a lot of contributions.
But from the perspective of the people of the Central Plains, Guo Jia does not want the Demon Sect to end, because once the Demon Sect ends, it means that the war in the Central Plains will further escalate.
Don’t underestimate the Demon Sect. The real power of the Demon Sect is not the sects in the world, nor are the masters of the Demon Sect such as Yuan Jiuling and Ye Dingzhi, but the control of the population and wealth of the Central Plains.
To be honest, the hands of the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties could not be reached, but they were controlled by local tyrants and demon sects.
If the Demon Sect ends, the Central Plains'' powerful men will also end. Although they have no army, they have a population. Although they have no generals, they have talents who can be transformed into generals and a large amount of money and food.
The Demon Sect has population, money, food, and talents, which also means that they can rely on bewitching local people and gather a large number of rebels in a short period of time, and hand them over to the disciples who are familiar with military tactics in the Demon Sect to form an army.
Although the untrained rebel army could never be the opponent of the well-trained Qin army, if there were too many people, it would cause some trouble to the Qin army. After all, the Qin army still had to deal with the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming.
Of course, the most important point is that when the people pick up weapons, they are not the people, but the soldiers. The Qin Dynasty will definitely not show mercy.
With the combat power of the Qin army, it would undoubtedly be a massacre against the temporarily conscripted people. The Central Plains will also be full of war and blood flowing, and the population after the war will definitely drop sharply.
This is what Guo Jia doesn''t want to see, so he monitors the Demon Sect on the surface, but in fact he is seeing Cao Wei to prevent the Demon Sect from being dragged into the water by Cao Wei''s conspiracy.
This is also the biggest difference between Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and it is also the difference between him and Jia Xu.
If it were Jia Xu, he would not care about the people. After all, he was not the people of Daqin, nor would he care about the Black Ice Platform. After all, the Black Ice Platform is just a tool of Daqin. He would only leave a Central Plains without any hidden dangers for Daqin at all costs.
Guo Jia is not as cruel as Jia Xu, and he cannot reach the state of treating the people like grass. He does not want to be the same as Jia Xu, so if he wants to achieve the same goal as Jia Xu, he will definitely make more calculations and put in more effort.
This is also the main reason why Guo Jia still often works overtime after he completely took over the Black Ice Platform.
Looking at the few white hairs on his shoulders, Guo Jia couldn''t help but sigh. When will this ghost life be over? It''s not pleasing to work hard, and he really doesn''t want to work overtime anymore.
"Report to Lord, Taishan Black Ice Platform Branch urgently reported."
Guo Jia, who had been busy all day, just after falling asleep, was woken up by his personal guards again.
Guo Jia naturally wanted to get angry, but when he heard that it was an urgent report from the Taishan branch, he couldn''t take it anymore. He quickly took the letter, and after reading it, he frowned and said to himself, "What are you going to do when Ye Dingzhi goes down the mountain now?"
If it were other people in the Demon Sect, Taishan Black Ice Platform would naturally not care about it, but Ye Dingzhi is the grandson of the Styx, and there are vague signs of becoming the leader of the next generation of the Demon Sect.
Before Ye Dingzhi went down the mountain, he went to Luoyang. After exploring Daqin''s attitude towards the Demon Sect from Bai Xiaosheng of the Five Dynasties, he indirectly led to a consensus between Daqin and the Demon Sect.
Therefore, Ye Dingzhi went down the mountain this time, not going down the mountain to have fun, but having something to do.
After a little thought, Guo Jia ordered: "Immediately, I''ll send Li Xiaoyao to protect Ye Dingzhi in secret to prevent Cao Wei from assassinating him, but I took the blame on my Daqin."
Guo Jia made a prediction in advance. After all, if Cao Wei wanted to pull the demons into the water, although there were many conspiracies that could be implemented, there were not many conspiracies that could achieve the purpose of sow discord.
Because only Styx, Kunpeng and Kuigang can control the entire Demon Sect, while sitting on the wall is the common decision of the three of them. They are afraid of death and are unwilling to oppose Daqin. Simple conspiracies and tricks obviously cannot affect them.
Ye Dingzhi, the grandson of the Styx, can obviously affect one of the people of the Styx. If he was assassinated down the mountain this time and blamed Daqin, then Daqin might not have been able to wash away the suspicion.
It is precisely because Guo Jia knew this that he sent Li Xiaoyao to protect Ye Dingzhi in advance. Even if Ye Dingzhi is really dead, the people from Daqin will be present and will participate in the protection, at least they will not be framed for nothing.
Ye Dingzhi went down the mountain this time just to find his aunt Ming Tiefan, and then brought back his cousin Niu Hong who was injured on the battlefield. However, he never expected to fall into a conspiracy, nor did he expect that the people of Daqin would come to protect him.
Ming Tiefan lives in Kaiyang City, the capital of Langya County, and Langya County borders Taishan County, so the distance is not far.
Langya County was originally Langya Country, but was later abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang. It is a county in the northernmost part of Xuzhou. Further north is the Qingnan battlefield, while in the south is Donghai County, and in the west is Taishan County.
Niu Mowang''s official position in Ming Dynasty was not only a general, but also the prefect of Langya. After the outbreak of the Qingnan War, he also led his army to support Qingnan as soon as possible.
As Niu Mowang''s wife, Ming Tiefan naturally lives in the prefect''s mansion in Kaiyang City, the capital of Langya County.
After Ye Dingzhi and Mo Qixuan went down the mountain, they rushed through Bian County, Feiguo and Linyi, and finally arrived in Kaiyang four days later.
After Ye Ding explained his purpose, Ming Tiefan was naturally heartbroken when he learned that his son was injured. After learning about his father''s intention, he immediately decided to bring his son with his nephew.
The group of three set out again, but unexpectedly, when they were about to enter the Taishan realm, they were ambushed by a group of men in black, and the other party wanted to kill them without saying a word.
Although Ye Dingzhi, Mo Qixuan and Ming Tiefan are all masters, there are also masters among the people who ambush them, and there are quite a few, so the three of them think that it was people from Daqin who ambushed them.
At the critical moment, Li Xiaoyao arrived in time, not only rescued Ming Tiefan, but also helped the three of them out of the siege.
"Thank you for saving your life, please leave your name. Ye Ding''s determination should be rewarded." Ye Ding said with a sincere face.
Li Xiaoyao pretended to hesitate before revealing the sutra: "It''s not necessary to thank you, just don''t deduct the assassinated **** basin to me Daqin."
Ye Dingzhi was shocked when he saw this, saying, "Li Xiaoyao, why are you? Why do you want to save me?"
Ye Dingzhi naturally knew Li Xiaoyao, and he had chased Li Xiaoyao before, but he didn''t expect that Li Xiaoyao would save him now.
"Of course I''m afraid you will die. I, Daqin, take the blame." Li Xiaoyao said lightly.
Ye Dingzhi was trained by Styx as the heir, so he was naturally not a fool. He understood what Li Xiaoyao meant, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "But what if you, Daqin, did it on purpose? Send Hei Bingtai to assassinate me, and send you to save me to blame the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains?"
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao left. He saw Ye Dingzhi''s anger and understood that what he had just said was not his true words, so he clicked until he did not need to say everything thoroughly.
After Li Xiaoyao left, Ye Dingzhi had a blue face and ordered Mo Qixuan and Ming Tiefan: "As for the ambush, we must bite to death, but Hei Bingtai did it, otherwise our trip would probably be dangerous."
Ming Tiefan was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Dingzhi, what do you mean is the person who assassinated us, and was sent by the coalition forces? How is this possible?"
"I can''t be sure if there is no evidence, but insisting that it was done by the Black Ice Platform, it does not harm us."
After an assassination, Ye Dingzhi was much more careful. He summoned a grand master and more than a dozen masters as soon as he entered Mount Tai, and asked the grand master to protect himself in secret.
Ye Dingzhi originally thought that the journey might be uneasy, but until he entered the Ming army camp, there was no turmoil, which also made Ye Dingzhi doubt whether the previous assassination was really directed and acted by Black Ice Station?
When Ye Dingzhi arrived in Dongjun, ten days had passed since the previous battle, but within these ten days, the situation in Dongjun changed again.
Previously, due to Le Yi''s plan, Bai Qi and Huang Feihu retreated north one after another, Jia Fu was also defeated in Dunqiu and was seriously injured. His military power was also handed over to Li Cunxiao, so the Qin army was in a defensive state as a whole.
Le Yi thought the Qin army would be calm for a while, but he didn''t expect that Li Cunxiao took over the military power and the Qin army immediately launched a counterattack.
Bai Qi and Huang Feihu both led their troops to the White Horse, but only Li Cunxiao remained in Dunqiu, holding their troops unmoved, as if they were still resting the army.
Bai Qi and Huang Feihu''s actions forced Le Yi to transfer Zhou of Shang from Yan County to prevent the shortage of the Baima defenders.
In addition, although Li Cunxiao was not moved, Le Yi had to guard against it. After all, Li Cunxiao''s three thousand Flying Tiger Army could withstand 50,000 Wei Ming coalitions. Now he has another 20,000 troops in his hands, and his threat is not inferior to Bai Qi at all.
Dongjun, white horse.
Le Yi was originally worried about the war, but when he learned that Ye Dingzhi had come to Dongjun and encountered an assassination on the way, he subconsciously thought it was someone sent by Xun You, so he hurriedly asked Xun You to ask if he did it.
Xun You was also very wronged. He did have this intention and took action, but his target was not Ye Dingzhi. After all, Niu Hong was right under his nose, but he went to assassinate Ye Dingzhi. Isn’t it that he wanted to go far?
After listening to Xun You''s explanation, Le Yi felt it made sense and believed that it was not him, but who would it be if it weren''t for Xun You?
Is it really what Ye Dingzhi said that people from the Black Ice Platform did it?
But this makes no sense.
Le Yi felt that it was definitely unlikely that Hei Bingtai did it. After all, Daqin had reached an agreement with the Demon Sect. Hei Bingtai assassinated Ye Dingzhi at this time, isn’t it okay to ask for trouble?
As for who it is? It is highly likely that it was done by Cao Wei people. After all, pulling the demon school into the water is indeed a big way for Cao Wei to save himself.
And once Ye Ding was assassinated, then
But since Ye Dingzhi killed him and killed him, Le Yi was naturally happy to see such a situation.
Le Yi and Xun You looked at each other, and they were both disagreeable. This topic stopped and no one should mention it again.
"By the way, military advisor, you won''t really attack Niu Hong, right?"
As soon as he thought of this, Le Yi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Ye Dingzhi was assassinated. If something happened to Niu Hong, he might have backfired."
"Governor, please rest assured. You''s target is not Niu Hong, but someone else, and his hands and feet are clean, so people will never doubt us." Xun You explained with a faint smile.
Hearing Xun You say this, Le Yi suddenly felt relieved. There were enough troubles on the battlefield, and he didn''t want to lose so much outside the battlefield.
On the other hand, Ye Dingzhi brought the Nether Iron Fan. After entering Ming Camp, he briefly explained some of the experiences he had come over and was about to take Niu Hong away.
Grandpa Styx, father Niu Mowang, mother Nether Iron Fan, all hope that Niu Hong will return to Mount Tai and stop participating in the Central Plains War.
Niu Hong was originally planning to go with his mother, but when he learned that his mother was assassinated by Hei Bingtai on the way and almost died, he was completely angry and said that he would not be willing to leave no matter what. He also said that after healed his injury, he would give the despicable Daqin a little more beautiful look.
"Mom, if I don''t leave, my child will never be a deserter. My leg injury will be healed in less than a month. There is no need to go back to Mount Tai to recuperate. The bumps along the way may cause the wound to worsen."
Niu Hong said with a stubborn look, but his eyes were full of anger.
Ming Tiefan and Ye Dingzhi looked at each other and knew that they might have backfired, but Ming Tiefan still advised: "Hong''er, what if you recover from your injury? Do you beat Jia Fu or Li Cunxiao? Just leave the matter on the battlefield to your father. Mom just hopes you are safe."
“…”
Niu Mowang couldn''t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It''s important for his son, but his husband is not important, right? I still care about my old cow.
No matter how Ming Tiefan and Niu Mowang persuade him, Niu Hong just doesn’t want to leave.
Ming Tiefan was also very angry and immediately decided to take him away by force, but unexpectedly, a guard suddenly came to report: "General, it''s not good, the second general, he..."
Niu Mowang''s face changed, he picked up the soldier and shouted, "What''s wrong with my second brother?"
"The second general died of injury."
"What?"
Niu Mowang suddenly widened his eyes, and after calling "Second Brother" sadly, he left without looking back and rushed to his second brother Niu Ruyi''s ward.
Seeing this, Ming Tiefan didn''t bother to take Niu Hong away. After looking at his nephew Ye Dingzhi, he saw that Ye Dingzhi was also frowning at this time, and then shook his head at her.
After Ming Tiefan understood, his heart suddenly sank, and he wanted to take his son away. After all, the situation is too complicated now, and it is hard to tell who is the enemy and who is the friend of the true or false. She doesn’t know who she should believe except her nephew and husband, so how can she rest assured that her son stays in a place of fault?
