From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

Yangzhou Jiedushi Yamen.

"My lord, my lord—"

Lu Yongzhi staggered and ran into the mansion, shouting as he walked: "Something big has happened, something big has happened, my lord."

In the study. Gao Pian, who was writing, saw Lu Yongzhi losing his composure and asked, "Master, why are you so panicked?"

Lu Yongzhi's face was filled with grief: "My lord, I have just received an express report that the two generals Yu Gongchu and Yao Guili were attacked by Yang Xingmi's Crouching Tiger Camp at Shilipo in Luzhou. The two generals were unfortunately killed in battle, and the entire army of more than 1 soldiers It’s been destroyed.”

"What did you say -" Gao Pian felt as if he was struck by lightning. The pen in his hand slipped instantly, and the ink stained the rice paper.

He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly fell into his chair and muttered to himself: "How could this happen? How could this happen? It's impossible."

After all, Gao Pian was a war-experienced hero. He had seen this scene too many times, so he quickly calmed down and asked, "Who attacked Yu and Yao? They are so bold."

Lu Yongzhi was a little angry: "It's Yang Xingmi's fourth brother, General Tao Ya."

"Tao Ya? Is that the drunken Master Tao?" Gao Pian tried hard to remember this person. Master Tao's nickname had already spread to Gao Pian, which showed how popular he was.

Lu Yongzhi added fuel to the fire: "If Tao Ya dares to attack the two generals, he must have the support of Yang Xingmi, otherwise he would not have such courage. My lord, this Yang Xingmi really knows people, faces, but not hearts."

Gao Pian was full of doubts: "Why would Yang Xingmi do this? Give me a reason."

Lu Yongzhi said bewilderedly: "You can't tell. Yang Xingmi still holds grudges against the two generals Yu and Yao who attacked Luzhou last time. He has resentment in his heart. Although he accepted the invitation, he did not want to be in the same palace with the two generals. As a minister, I must get rid of him quickly."

"This attack is his carefully planned conspiracy." Lu Yongzhi continued to use strong medicine.

Gao Pian thought about it, that's not right. Didn't you strongly recommend them to go to Haozhou this time? Do you have anything to do with this?

Seeing that Gao Pian was suspicious of him, Lu Yongzhi immediately came up with the prepared countermeasures:

"My lord, Lu is wronged. If Lu knew about Yang Xingmi's conspiracy, he would never let the two generals take risks."

The confused Gao Pian was finally fooled by Lu Yongzhi's rhetoric, no longer doubted him, and vented his anger on Yang Xingmi.

"This Yang Xingmi, I treated him well, why would he want to retaliate and bite me back? Master, tell me why."

Lu Yongzhi thought quickly about countermeasures, and soon came up with a rhetoric.

He cupped his hands and said: "My lord, this man is so heartless that a snake swallows an elephant. Yang Xingmi was originally a beggar. After falling into the enemy's trap, he gradually built up a team and used Zheng Xu's trust to expand his territory. Finally, he killed Xue Huai and occupied the house. Zhou, whose ambitions are rapidly expanding. I thought that by recruiting him, he would be grateful to the lord for his kindness, but who would have expected that he is a poisonous snake. Not only is he ungrateful, but he also bites back. My lord, this person must not be Stay."

Lu Yongzhi's nonsense actually fooled Gao Pian, but he still didn't believe that Yang Xingmi dared to betray him, so he asked Lu Yongzhi how to deal with Yang Xingmi.

Lu Yongzhi thought for a while: "Lv has a plan to test his original intention. The lord can send someone to ask for the body of General Yu Yao, and summon Yang Xingmi to Yangzhou for questioning, and then see if he dares to come. If he doesn't Come, that will prove that he will definitely rebel."

Lu Yongzhi's strategy won Gao Pian's praise: "Okay, I'll do as you say. You go to Luzhou in person to spread the word."

Lu Yongzhi looked confused: ...(I dare you to dig the hole yourself and fall in)

Luzhou governor's office.

"Tao Ya, what a good thing you did——" Yang Xingmi, who had always been gentle and elegant, became rarely angry.

He stood up and walked around the room, his heart beating faster with anger. Yang Xingmi's reaction frightened everyone, especially Tian Kai, Dai Yougui and other old brothers in Wohu Village who were silent. This was the first time they had seen Yang Xingmi get so angry since the sworn alliance in Wohu Village.

Tao Ya knelt on the ground without saying a word. Perhaps it was Liu Wei or Dai Yougui who gave him the idea and asked him to perform a "pleading for mercy". Tao Ya was naked with her arms tied, and several penises stuck in her back. Vitex, the whole person looks very funny.

How could Tao Ya, a rough guy, know about the allusion of asking for forgiveness? Yang Xingmi knew at a glance that it was Dai Yougui or Yuan Xi's idea.

Yang Xingmi was furious and scolded: "Old Fourth, how many times have I told you not to be reckless, not to be reckless, why don't you listen? You clearly know that Yu Gongchu and Yao Guili are Gao Pian Why did you kill your beloved general without informing him?"

"Gao Pian will send someone to question him soon. How do you deal with it?"

Tao Ya lowered her head and remained silent. When Yang Xingmi wasn't paying attention, she winked at Dai Yougui and asked him to rescue him.

Dai Yougui understood the idea and said to Yang Xingmi: "Brother, the matter has come to this. Tao Ya also knows that he is wrong. Even beating him up will not help. It is better to think of countermeasures. We are all brothers, don't hurt yourself for two outsiders. The harmony of the brothers."

What countermeasures are you thinking of?

A group of big bosses all looked at Yuan Xi, who had been silent.

In fact, Tao Ya was not stupid. When he saw all the brothers looking at Yuan Xi, he quickly kowtowed to Yuan Xi: "I beg the military advisor to save Old Tao. When Old Tao returns, he will give the military advisor a jar of fine wine he has collected."

These words instantly made everyone laugh. It was really arrogant to still think about drinking at this time.

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "General, don't worry, brother Tao, don't be afraid. This matter is nothing to worry about. We can solve it easily with a little plan."

Yuan Xi's words gave everyone hope, and they all wanted to see what his little plan was.

Yuan Xi helped Tao Ya up and asked him: "Who told brother Tao about the news of Yu and Yao's crossing?"

Only then did Tao Ya remember the most critical link. He thought for a moment: "It's a person from Yangzhou."

"Who sent it?" Yuan Xi asked.

"It seems that he said he was ordered by the master. I don't know who the master is."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi knew what was going on, and he said to Yang Xingmi: "The truth has come to light, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been found."

"Who is it?" everyone asked in unison.

Yuan Xi: "There is only one person in the Huainan Military Mansion who considers himself a master, and that is Lu Yongzhi. Lu Yongzhi has always been at odds with Yu Yao, and they have had many conflicts before, but they were forced to do so due to Gao Pian's pressure. I don't dare to show off. I think Lu Yongzhi wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill Yu Yao and others this time, and then put the blame on Crouching Tiger Camp and encouraged Gao Pian to send troops to Luzhou, while he sat on the mountain Watch the tiger fight, and eventually replace it with Gao Pian.”

Yuan Xi's analysis caused everyone to be in an uproar. Everyone was angry and cursed: "I didn't expect this old magician to be so vicious and come up with such a vicious plan. He really deserves to be killed."

"Now that the truth has been revealed and the truth behind the scenes has emerged, how can we explain it to Gao Pian?" Dai Yougui asked a common question.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I have my own arrangements for this."

A guard ran in and reported: "Report, Sima Lu Yongzhi of Yangzhou has arrived outside the city and asks to see you."

Yang Xingmi stood up: "He came in person?"

Yuan Xi: "Don't panic, stick to the plan, listen to my arrangements, you go and prepare immediately."
