Book 46 - Chapter 8 – Cold Forest, Clear and Far (1/2)
Inside the side roo restaurant, Kou Zhong sighed and said, “wang shi+chong wants to har said, “Can’t be! Last ti reaped the consequences of his words [idioreat a enormous antipathy from the military, from top to bottom Now is the time of the wind and the cloud [ie unstable situation] with fantastic changes, plus Shaoshuai is not a benevolent- dare to act rashly?”
Kou Zhong raised his cup to offer a toast After both sides enjoyed a cup to the full, he laughed and said, “This is called talking fro is confident that he is going to win this battle, plus I a by his door to offer olden opportunity send a saber strike in passing and finish Xiaodi?” Translated by foxs
And then he revealed wang shi+chong’s identity and said, “The demonic school people’s conduct is vicious and merciless, they kill to the last one, and do not talk about Heaven’s law and huain I messed up their plan, I am sure I have become their public enemy If they could eliminate me and Li shi+reatly increased wang shi+chong sent wang Xuanshu to meet me, precisely because he wanted to pacifysaid, “De for self and selfish profit, they are like a tray of loose sand Based on wang shi+chong’s character, he will only do things that are beneficial to hi with you is really an unwise move Ay! If you did not tellis a deing to the demonic school will explain the shady relationshi+p between hi his voice, Kou Zhong said, “As I see it, the current development of the various factions of the deinally like a tray of loose sand, fighting against each other until you die, I live – is that they are leaning toward unification, because this is ashi+chong has becoreatest hope to seize the world Just nohen I saang shi+chong, he hinted that internally the Li Clan is unstable; evidently the de their trick If Zhu Can is related to the deiance to wang shi+chong, it shows that the demonic school is united into one, so that they could rise above others in this struggle over the world”
Yang Gongqing nodded and said, “If you defeat Li shi+ shi+chong’s pocket If he could eliminate you and Li shi+min in one fell swoop, then the whole world will fall into wang shi+chong’s pocket What’s Shaoshuai’s intention on this?”
The refined light in Kou Zhong’s pair of eyes flaring greatly, he sa win this battle, and then I’ll think of other things later”
Stunned, Yang Gongqing said, “But didn’t you say wang shi+chong is going to kill you?”
Kou Zhong spoke indifferently, “This ti will no longer dare to deal with ht affect the troops’ heart, so he can only have other de out of it Then I’ll regard it as so at my door for me to practicesaid, “In that case, what good is it for Shaoshuai to stay here? It’s better forwith Shaoshuai to split thewryly, Kou Zhong said, “I have been painstakingly thinking about your proposal, but unfortunately right now, against the Li Clan Arle blow Besides, Luoyang tends to involve Bashu, it is of a very great importance, so it must not fall; otherwise, ould want to exert hi Gongqing said, “The proble will not use you; you are staying here will only be left unused, while you will still have to deal with the har out a cold snort, Kou Zhong said, “When he is in a tight spot, naturally he will come to ask for my help I know his sha a deep breath, Yang Gongqing spoke slowly, “What does Shaoshuai think wang shi+chong’s chance of success is?”
Evidently Kou Zhong has repeatedly mulled over the very same question in his , “At most only ten-percent chance, and that is still dependent upon whether the Li Clan can turn their internal strife around or not wang shi+chong is basically not Li shi+’s, Li shi+ spoke in heavy voice, “If it were the case, ould Shaoshuai do?”
Kou Zhong s, I would face the attack with all e Li shi+min in a few hard battles, to inspire the troops’ heart, to do everything in enerals of different surna to act blindly without thinking”
Yang Gongqing sighed and said, “It’s a pity that wang shi+chong is not Shaoshuai; facing Li shi+min, who leads military operations with extraordinary skill on the battlefield, he would only be defeated faster andis isolated in Luoyang will he ask for Shaoshuai’s help What reversing-the-rotation-of-the-sky plan does Shaoshuai have?”
Kou Zhong knew that Yang Gongqing was a steady, couished norant person, he would surely be spurned by hiinal concept is extraordinarily perfect, that is, when Li shi+, Dou Jiande would cross to the south of the river and co Army is in the vicinity of Hulao, the Li Army will not dare to offend Hulao, hence we keep the east route toward Luoyang free, so that Luoyang will never lack foodstuff, the battle to siege the city will turn into the battle to seize provisions, then Li shi+min will find it difficult to sleep peacefully Too bad wang shi+chong is eager to proclaim himself emperor, so that it’s difficult for Dou Jiande to ith him With no other choice, I have to put up with hias I can maintain the vitality of Hulao, this front line, Li shi+, it’s even possible that he will lose this decisive battle”
After Shen Luoyan floated out, Hou Xibai ca at horeatly surprised, “Don’t you have a class to attend? Why did you co down by Xu Ziling’s side, he went on, “I still have no information about that friend of yours, Yin Xianhe, but the ru everywhere”
“What are the ru calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos, Hou Xibai said, “No need to waste time on those that are complete nonsense, but there are three inforh”
Xu Ziling’s curiosity was piqued, he laughed and said, “Are you going to keep me in suspense? Tellfor you”
Hou Xibai blurted out laughing, he said, “With Ziling keepingThe first inforht to appoint Yuanji as Li shi+ said, “No way! Li Yuanji had just suffered defeat, and it was Li shi+ defeat into victory Luoyang is such an in, how could Li Yuanji have a share in it?”
“When you think about it, it’s not i Li Yuanji to Luoyang, it really is not to win the battle, but to keep a close watch over Li shi+ht occupy the land and use it to threaten Chang’an Li YuanFaction and the I, it is tanta remembered that Li shi+ht occupy Luoyang and proclai inwardly, he asked, “And the second information?”
“The second infor,” Hou Xibai replied, “It’s theiance to wang shi+chong; I never thought that wang shi+chong would be that stupid”
Stunned, Xu Ziling said, “Unexpectedly there is such thing?”
Hou Xibai said, “The wind from an eether with Xiao Xian and Cao Yinglong, he must have a close relationshi+p with our holy school As it turns out, wang shi+chong and the holy school’s Laojun Temple’s Pi Chen have dubious relationshi+p, hence if the two are having an affinity with each other, and if because they are facing a powerful eneht on the same front, it’s simply a where-the-water-flows, a-canal-is-formed matter The question is how did thisunderstood what he host [ie rat/traitor], this kind of afraid-others- shi+chong or Zhu Can would want to announce; this reat i co, the situation became even le within your honorable schools and sects Fro Zun Jiaoto the Two Sects, Six Ways And now a certain group within the holy school of the Central Earth is supporting wang shi+chong, perhaps so it, so they are trying to destroy it fro to analyze this matter,” Hou Xibai said, “The last inforchun Didn’t you say that you want to deal with hiy, to fish in troubled water? Turns out his opening a casino in Chang’an was not a sinally belonged to so This man’s nickname was ‘Guo Shan Niao’ [lit over the mountain bird], a vicious and merciless man, otherwise, he would not have earned that nickna cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah)] was one kind of extremely poisonous snake, its tereat et away, rather, it will take the initiative to attack people
Xu Ziling nodded and said, “When the Li Clan entered and took control of Chang’an, as it should be rights, they would co Fachun received the order to change his surna’an, to assu industry Furtherrew his business to today’s level Sing the Ming Tang Wo is his next step in expanding his gachun won the Six-Happiness Casino froree to bet, youto say, but Chi Shengchun violated a big taboo; unexpectedly even Wen Yusheng’s beloved concubine was snatched away by hi dropped by to give Chi Shengchun bad luck, but since then his track was lost; presuchun Finally thisit unsettled]”
Xu Ziling was stunned, “Unexpectedly Wen Yusheng is dead!” he said, “How are we going to exploit this matter?”
Hou Xibai cheerfully said, “This is thehad a sworn brother with even better reputation than hi’ [lit short-lived], who loves to wear long hair, adept in using flying dagger, a serious bandit whose stinky name spread far and wide One time he ran amuck in Bashu, afterwards he was killed by Xiaodi, because he was also a brutal picking-flower evil thief [ie rapist] Ha! Don’t you think it’s brilliant?”
Knitting his brows, Xu Ziling said, “You want e for Wen Yusheng against Chi Shengchun? Have you ever thought that if it was really Cao San cochun’s power, even the root of a tree can’t possibly be worthy in his eyes? Much less Cao San is a picking-flower lecherous thief, without co one or two cases of rape, wouldn’t it appear out of his style?” Translated by foxs
Hou Xibai blurted out laughing and said, “Other than Xiaodi, no one knows that Cao San is a lecherous thief The way I see it, on the one hand, due to his outstandingdisaster to Chi Shengchun; on the other hand, because the news that I went to hunt and kill Cao San was known to everybody in Bashu, only I have never told anybody about the outcoainst Cao San, he would definitely come to borrow Xiaodi’s folded Fan of Beauty to deal with hichun This is an alternate threatening the east and striking to the west strategy The real threatening the east and striking to the west strategy is your Situ Furong co Wo That will be irresistible to Chi Shengchun; it would be strange indeed if Chi Shengchun won’t bite the bait”
Eiven ht”
Hou Xibai said, “What I hate theFa’s business is my, Hou Xibai’s business, otherwise, ould we call each other brother? Tonight, you let your long hair loose and co Fa wryly, Xu Ziling said, “I cannot kill people recklessly like that”
Hou Xibai said, “Then change it to injure a few people In short, hing and crane calling], toin restlessness, only then e achieve the goal”
