Chapter 193 Li Mi

Zhai Rang's letter mainly tells the current chaotic situation in Henan and the difficult situation of the Wagang people, as well as pessimistic predictions about the development of the situation. The true intentions are hidden between the lines. Those who do not want to see "lively" and those who are in contrast to see "tracks". Moreover, this letter has neither a title nor a signature, and there is no need for any underworld code, so Li Mi can understand it at first glance.

Li Mi is a person who looks at the "track". With his understanding of the Korean Prime Minister, of course he knows the hidden meaning behind this letter, and also knows the meaning of the Korean Prime Minister's letter to him. He is very happy with the Korean Prime Minister's move. He quietly came to Songcheng with a mission, urgently needed the support and cooperation of the Korean Prime Minister, especially the trust of the Korean Prime Minister. However, the Korean Prime Minister is not the same as before and has long grown into the strongest local aristocrat on the front line of Tongjiqu. He has his own interests. Whether the two parties can cooperate tacitly on the basis of trust actually depends on whether the two parties can reach an agreement in interests. Li Mi was quite worried about this, but beyond his expectations, the Korean Prime Minister immediately expressed his loyalty to his benefactor and was willing to actively cooperate with Li Mi's cooperation attitude through this secret letter.

Li Mi was full of confidence. He believed that with the help of the local tycoon of South Korea, the possibility of the secret mission of this trip to Tongji Canal was greatly increased.

After reading the letter carefully, Li Mi sorted out the many complex messages revealed in the letter, deduced and thought about them, and gradually got the clue.

The writer was obviously a gangster and had an alliance with the Korean Prime Minister. Due to the extreme deterioration of the situation in Henan, his survival was in crisis, so he had to make a choice between raising the flag to rebel and taking refuge in the river. However, the goal of the white-haired thief and the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance was Tongji Canal. As the largest gangster on the front line of the Tongji Canal, the Korean Prime Minister was inevitably involved in this war. The losses of their interests were immeasurable. At this moment, whether the writer raised the flag to rebel or took refuge in the river, it would be unfavorable to the Korean Prime Minister and even had the possibility of turning against the Korean Prime Minister and killing each other.

The writer took into account the alliance between the two sides before the deterioration of the situation and the common interests of both sides on the front line of Tongji Canal, and quickly asked the Korean Prime Minister for help and advice. What should we do next?

This is not just a matter of writing a letter, but an imminent matter that all local forces in all large and small need to solve urgently. The decision to solve this matter will not only affect everyone's survival and development, but also the entire Central Plains situation and even the direction of the political situation in the Dongdu. The Prime Minister of Han is very clear about this. He dare not make decisions easily. He knows where his strength comes from, and also knows that his strength is vulnerable under the huge power of the benefactor Yang Xuangan. Li Mi represents the political group headed by the benefactor Yang Xuangan to handle the Tongji Canal crisis. Such major decisions must be made by Li Mi. Only decisions that are in line with the interests of the political group are the best and most conducive to his own development. Therefore, he asked Li Mi without hesitation for advice.

"Who did this letter come from?" Li Mi asked.

"Zhai Rang, Dongjun." Han Xiangguo replied, "Before the White Horse Prison Cases broke out last year, he was the county government's Dharmaka Shuzuo."

Li Mi nodded slightly, knowing it.

Although the Zhai family of Dongjun belongs to a third-rate noble in Henan, its power spans Dongjun, Liangjun and Jiyin. They have all involved in the personal interests of the underworld on the Dahe, Tongji Canal, Ji, and Heshui Road, and are very strong. Before Zhai Rang was imprisoned last year, he and Han Yao from Liangjun and Qiao County had always been in alliance with each other, and the three major local forces firmly controlled the personal interests of the underworld on the Tongji Canal. After the preparations for the Eastern Expedition began, Dongdu increased its attack on the underworld on both sides of the canal in order to strengthen the security of the Grand Canal. Hanmin has always wanted to monopolize the underworld on the Tongji Canal, and Yang Xuangan also intends to control the front line of the Tongji Canal. So the two sides hit it off, taking advantage of the opportunity of Dongdu to attack thieves, and using the help of the censors who inspected the counties, they were the first to defeat Zhai Rang in Dongjun.

However, one thing that was sure to win was shocked by the huge fire in the White Horse Prison Crime, and the ghosts involved the Cui family in Boling. As a result, the situation suddenly became complicated. Yang Xuangan and Han Prime Minister even lost control of the entire incident for a while, and the final outcome was even more shocking. Although Zhai Rang's local forces were hit, they still existed from "white" to "black", and they were completely destroyed. The loyal allies of Han Prime Minister Han Yao, who were not within the scope of the attack, were also

That is to say, the purpose of Yang Xuangan and Han Prime Minister's implementation of this plan was not achieved. The political storm caused by the White Horse Prison Cases and the Mangdang thieves plundered Tongjiqu was even more damaged by Yang Xuangan's huge losses. The prefects of Dongjun, Liangjun and Qiaojun were almost all replaced, and Liangjun and Qiaojun belonged to the Songzhou in the past, which caused more than half of the political power that Yang Xuangan had worked hard in Songzhou. Fortunately, his political opponent, Dong Chun, also resigned from his post and "exiled" to the remote mountains and regions, which was considered to be a masturbation.

The key reason for the incident to get out of control is the white-haired thief Li Fengyun's fall from the sky.

Yang Xuangan began to investigate Li Fengyun, but it was too difficult and basically no clue was found. Unless the Zuo Yiwei General Yuwen Shu spoke, no one knew why he ordered a group of Liaodong horse thieves to be escorted to the Dongdu. These horse thieves were repeatedly robbed and killed along the way, so who was the one who robbed and killed? Why did they want to rob? Who was the target? Is it the white-haired thief Li Fengyun? The white horse is only hundreds of miles away from the east. Who dares to be so rampant that he ordered the tyrants to rob and kill the prisoners in broad daylight?

Yang Xuangan changed his target and turned to find the identity of the robber. This time he found a clue, and this clue actually pointed to the Turks. Why did the Turks kill a group of Liaodong horse thieves in Middle Earth? Who are the targets of the Turks? The clue was interrupted. All the robbers and killers died, and all the non-dead disappeared. Except for the white-haired Li Fengyun, the rest of the horse thieves died, and even no one could find a living person.

This time, Li secretly rushed to Tongji Canal, and one of the important missions was to investigate Baihai Li Fengyun. Yang Xuangan firmly believed that if Baihai Li Fengyun was the person who Yuwen Shu was escorted to Dongdu and the target of the Turks to assassinate, then the secret that Li Fengyun knew would definitely cause a storm in Dongdu. However, what puzzled Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others was that if Baihai Li Fengyun was the target of Yuwen Shu and the Turks, why did he not hide his name and hide carefully, but instead rebel with a high profile, making it known to everyone in the world?

After pondering for a moment, Li Mi asked again, "White-haired thief Li Fengyun, how much do you know? There should be some secrets between Zhai Rang and the white-haired thief Li Fengyun, do you know?"

"Li Fengyun knows a little. As for the secret between Zhai Rang and him..." Han Xiangguo hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as someone knows, their relationship has been very tense."

Li Mi made a gesture to signal the Prime Minister Han to give a detailed explanation. The Prime Minister Han’s understanding of Li Fengyun was purely heard of. Some of these rumors came from Zhai Rang’s subordinates, some from the thieves in Mangdang Mountain, and some from Han Yao.

The Prime Minister of Han was always paying attention to the rebel army that originated from Mangdang Mountain. This army was originally a "chess piece" in his plan to plunder heavy troops. Unexpectedly, this "chess piece" suddenly broke away from his control and quickly grew into a powerful force. It not only destroyed his plan and Yang Xuangan's plan, but also affected the situation in the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou. The greater the impact this army caused, the greater the threat to the Prime Minister of Han, because the core force of this army was either his original subordinates or his ally in the underworld. Therefore, once this army was defeated by the government, these people were captured by the government and offered him out, he would be finished.

It is of course concerned about his own interests. Of course, the Prime Minister of Han was concerned. After hearing that the rebel army occupied Mengshan, he immediately sent someone to contact Chen Rui, Lu Mingxing, Han Yao and others to inquire about the situation of the rebel army. However, the situation was different, and everyone's environment was different, so his ideas naturally changed. Although it was contacted, it was impossible to reveal the secrets about the rebel army. This basic common sense is still available, so the Prime Minister of Han's understanding of the rebel army was limited to showing that he knew very little about the secrets between Zhai Rang and Li Fengyun. However, even this hearsay message is very important to Li Mi.

After listening carefully to the story of the Prime Minister Han, Li Mi smiled and said, "Li Fengyun and Zhai Rang are two completely different people. Although Zhai Rang's current situation is very bad, he has more or less a slight fantasy. Li Fengyun is a thief and an unforgivable traitor. Of course, the two of them cannot come together."

The Prime Minister of Han nodded repeatedly, with a heavy expression, "Li Fengyun has entered Liang County, and Tongji Canal is in full force. Someone is actually more difficult than Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang can retreat to the front line of the river. He still has a place to hide, but someone has no place to hide."

Although the power of the Korean Prime Minister is huge, this network is based on the private interests of the underworld in Tongji Canal. If the Tongji Canal is interrupted, the front line of the Tongji Canal will fall into war, and the private interests of the underworld will collapse, and the network will naturally collapse. In this way, the power of the Korean Prime Minister will inevitably collapse, allies scattered, brothers flee, and their strength will be reduced sharply. The reason why Zhai Rang consulted the Korean Prime Minister's opinions was that their interests were closely connected. Now the Korean Prime Minister actually only has two ways, either raise the flag to rebel, follow Li Fengyun, or form an alliance with the government, and fight the rebel army with the government. If he flees from Liang County, it is equivalent to giving up his territory, and the consequences can be imagined.

As for the Korean Prime Minister personally, if he wants to rebel, of course, the premise is that he must win Yang Xuangan's support.

Now the emperor, the central and the expeditionary forces are on the battlefield in Liaodong. The key to deciding the victory or defeat of the Eastern Expedition is not the emperor's personal expedition, nor the number of the expeditionary forces, but the continuous supply of food and supplies. If the food and grass are interrupted, the Eastern Expedition will inevitably be abandoned halfway and return without success. At this time, the battlefield in Liaodong will be panic and the morale of the army will be dispersed. At this critical moment, if the Eastern Capital falls and the imperial regime changes, then Zhongtu will inevitably fall into a civil war. Who can win the civil war? It is still money and food. Whoever has enough money and food can win the final victory. This means that when the emperor and the expeditionary forces are trapped in Hebei, when winter comes, when heavy snow comes, the emperor who lacks clothing and food will be in a desperate situation.

The Korean Prime Minister has already seen Yang Xuangan and his political group's ambitions. He believes that the current situation is an excellent opportunity for Yang Xuangan to realize his political ambitions, so he wants to rebel.

Li Mi had already guessed the thoughts of the Prime Minister Han. He just said that Li Fengyun was an unforgivable rebel, but he had actually issued a vague warning, but the Prime Minister Han did not give up and continued to test because his situation was too difficult.

"The time has not come." Li Mi was so frank and said bluntly, "The situation is not as bad as you imagined. You can take advantage of the current opportunity to rob, develop rapidly, and wait for the opportunity to move."

The nervous mood of the Korean Prime Minister suddenly sootheed. He had bet right. Yang Xuangan really didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him. However, when will the "time" mentioned by Li Mi come?

"The situation is already very bad, and Li Fengyun is about to cut off the Tongji Canal." Han Prime Minister had to give a reminder.

"What if the Tongji Canals are continuous?" Li Mi asked.
