Book 15 Chapter 7 – Looking At The Present
Fixing his gaze at Kou Zhong, Song Jingang said, “Does Kou Xiong know that you are trapped in dangerous situation?”
Kou Zhong inwardly thought that this question was extremely unnecessary, but on the surface he appeared , please advise,” he said
Song Jingang spoke heavily, “Without Zaixia saying it clearly, Kou Xiong ought to know that we have close relationshi+p with the Tujues, hence we can also obtain valuable infor Jingang’s persuasive char was still skirting around without speaking to the point But by adding all these leaves and branches, he already generated powerful sense of pressure so that Kou Zhong would feel the need to get close to and cooperate with hih his intention to contend for hegemony over the world, hence each sentence was able to hit the bull’s eye, so that Kou Zhong could not help beingI’ve alondered; I heard that the relationshi+p between the Li Clan and the Tujues has always been good, supposing you and the Li Clan fought each other, which side do you think the Tujues will help?”
Song Jingang calmly replied, “The weak side will receive the help Does Kou Xiong understand?”
The two looked at each other’s eyes, and both burst out in a knowing laughter
Holding back his s solemnly said, “For the sake of the Jade Annulus of He Clan, Kou Xiong has offended Li shi+min Based on his decisive, steadfast character, he definitely will not let thissaid, “What makes him think that the Jade Annulus of He Clan is in my hand? You should know that even the person implicated, shi+ Feixuan herself does not dare to ascertain”
“That is really strange,” Song Jingang said, “But Li shi+min indicated to Tuli that he is certain that the Jade Annulus of He Clan is in your hands And he is extre; he stated explicitly that if he could not employ you, two brothers, he had no choice but to cut off feelings of gratitude and loyalty, and have you destroyed Others may not know the power he holds in his hands, but definitely he cannot conceal it fro is currently at an extre ell aware that Song Jingang was telling the truth, because he could not possibly weave this kind of tale
He thought Li Jing must have really betrayed thee that the Jade Annulus of He Clan was in their hands? Kou Zhong’s eyes suddenly shone with murderous intent as he spoke heavily, “Do you think the nu’s neck is lacking? There is no har Jingang spoke indifferently, “I have no doubt that Kou Xiong is a talented man, but how much do you really know about this person, Li shi+ said, “I was just about to ask Song Xiong for guidance”
Ad look appeared Yun Yuzhen and Bu Tianzhi’s faces; to be willing to e for this kid
Song Jingang said, “I have neverso since he raised in rebellion at Taiyuan; ressive, his deter, and because of his extre his troops, he is able to use his weakness to elier He is indeed a rare talent indeep into Kou Zhong’s eyes, he said, “He neverthis tied, Bu Tianzhi said, “Li shi+th?”
Kou Zhong cast Bu Tianzhi a surprised look; it appeared that his concern about Kou Zhong was not a fake
Song Jingang said, “As for how , I a the Heavenly Policy Government, the number of valiant military leaders he obtained is like a cloud; it could be said that his strategic experts are as thick as rain Clearly this man has a very persuasive charm, he can make the heart of the people turn to him”
After a short pause, he went on, “In term of literary aspect, I’d say he has theXuanling[1] This e and experience When Li shi+ happened to go north of Wei River to visit his son, hence he was invited to join the army by Li shi+min All me taken care by hile-handedly Moreover, thismilitary operations, equip; everything are clear and in good order Although he cannot attack the enemy and achieve victory in the battlefield, he plays a crucial role for either success or failure If I were to start a war against Li shi+min, I would make a plan to assassinate thisainst Song Jingang, he zhi was assassinated by Song Jingang, he would suffer a great loss
Although until now Song Jingang did not explain why he wanted to see Kou Zhong, but Kou Zhong hadwanted to exploit Kou Zhong’s inti in dealing with Du Fuwei, and so he would easily swing his troops to Taiyuan and advance to Guanzhong
Naturally Song Jingang also knew that Kou Zhong was not someone ould be easily manipulated by anybody; otherwise he would not waste sohim
Bu Tianzhi asked, “How about thereplied, “Even if I used up all the fingers on my hands and the toes on my feet, I won’t be able to list the and Li shi+min, three brothers are the th actually comes from martial art masters fro those, more than a dozen, who, no matter how you look at thehu as the Policy Government Upper-class Generals The leader of these upper-class-general level people is, unexpectedly, a woman nobody knows her name But because her weapon is a red brush, she is known as the Red Brush Lady, without any na was astonished, “Is sheXuyan?” he asked, “How come she occupy the leadershi+p position?”
Clearly Song Jingang did not know that Yang Xuyan was Li shi+ know that Yang Xuyan has entered Guanzhong Ar mused, ‘Turns out you are not o briefly, he said, “I ondering if Song Xiong would agree to meet later for further deliberation of this io to the Palace to see wang shi+chong; otherwise heknew he had hooked Kou Zhong’s interest; no longer insisted on persuading hio after they made an appointment to han leaped high into the air, and lightly landed on Xu Ziling’s s at the bow, he said indifferently, “It’s time to return the boat to its owner”
