Chapter 66
While Li Cunxu and the Empress rushed to Taiyuan, earth-shaking changes were also taking place in Luzhou.

Luzhou.

There are fewer pedestrians on Luzhou Street, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves. It is not as prosperous as it used to be.

After a busy day, people came out of the government office one after another.Wang Jianji helped his forehead, straightened his armor, and walked out.

Wang Jianji returned to the mansion from the government office with a very heavy heart.

He dismissed all the servants in the mansion, and came to a remote room in the mansion alone.

At this time, there was already a person staying in the room.

Wang Jianji stepped into the room worriedly, and the person in the room asked, "Jianji doesn't seem very happy, why are you worried?"

Wang Jianji took a look at Guo Chongtao, only to see that Guo Chongtao was dressed in commoner clothes and was extremely plainly dressed, not at all like the high-ranking deputy commander of the Wu De Department.

But this kind of dress is also normal, after all, the current Wu Desi is not what it used to be, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bereaved dog.

As for why Guo Chongtao was in Wang Jianji's mansion, there is a long history.

A few days ago, Guo Chongtao, the deputy commander of the Wu De Department, came to Luzhou under the order of Li Cunxu, found Wang Jianji, and planned to hide in Wang Jianji's mansion for undercover work.

Wang Jianji bowed his head in thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed, and said to Guo Chongtao: "Vice Envoy Guo, that fake person is arrogant and arrogant, he insists on expanding the army, trying to form a new army to fight against the Fengyi Army."

Guo Chongtao smiled when he heard the words, as if he was not surprised at all.Ever since the Mirror Heart Demon helped the fake Li Cunxu get rid of Wu Desi, the fake Li Cunxu has gradually taken control of Luzhou, and his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger.

Since then, the mirror demon has become the confidant of the fake Li Cunxu. He supports the mirror demon in all matters in Luzhou, no matter how big or small.

The mirror demon also does what he likes, and does everything according to his wishes.The two flirted with each other, working hand in hand, relying on their fake identities as Prince Jin's heir, they controlled most of Luzhou's affairs to death.

Fortunately, the fake Li Cunxu and Jingxin Demon did not attack Luzhou's Fengyi Army.On the one hand, it was because they did not have a suitable person who could control the army, and on the other hand, it was because Wang Jianji had a high prestige in the army, and forcibly resigning from his position might trigger a mutiny.

Soldiers are the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.In troubled times, only those with strong soldiers and strong horses can dominate.Although the fake Li Cunxu does not currently have military power, he has not given up.

Under the suggestion of Mirror Heart Demon, the fake Li Cunxu decided to recruit another army that could be used by him.

Guo Chongtao nodded and said: "The fake body is quite ambitious, and he will definitely follow the advice of the mirror demon to expand the army. After all, it was the mirror demon who helped him get rid of the threat of Wu Desi a few months ago.

In addition, the lord voluntarily gave up Luzhou, so the fake body became the real lord, and the mirror demon won the trust of the fake body. "

"That's right." Wang Jianji nodded, then frowned and said in a low voice: "The Jingxin Demon made his way to the top by helping the fake body to win Luzhou. He used nepotism and even killed all the important officials in the governor's mansion. If it's an actor, I think it won't be long before Luzhou will be turned into a mess by them!"

Guo Chongtao thought for a while, and said: "Jianji's words are reasonable, but Luzhou is under their control at this time. If he expands his army by relying on his status as the son of King Jin, there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop them."

Wang Jianji murmured: "When Your Highness made the strategy of abandoning Luzhou, the general thought that Luzhou would become chaotic, but he didn't expect it to come so soon..."

Guo Chongtao heard the words, glanced at Wang Jianji, and said: "My lord is a hero, but the villain is powerful, so the lord has to avoid the edge for a while...Jianji, don't underestimate the lord, the current martial arts of the lord are already deep. Unfathomable..."

What Guo Chongtao said is the truth, Li Cunxu's current strength is infinitely close to the Great Heaven, which is beyond their reach.

Wang Jianji smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "I am not arranging His Highness, but our current situation is really bad..."

Guo Chongtao nodded and said: "Indeed, the current fake body is very ambitious and wants to make a name for himself. That's why he wants to use force and recruit troops. If Jianji wants to persuade him to give up, it may be very difficult."

Wang Jianhe let out a long sigh when he heard the words. He also knew that in his own capacity, it was very unrealistic to try to persuade the fake to give up the idea of ​​expanding the army.

He sighed: "Luzhou is just a state, and it cannot afford to support two armies. If the counterfeit wants to expand the army, the people may not be able to afford it. If he wants to dispel his idea of ​​expanding the army, he can only hand over the Fengyi army Give in, but it's impossible."

Guo Chongtao looked awe-inspiring when he heard the words, and said seriously: "The Fengyi Army is the master's effort, and it is also the foundation for a stable life. It must not be easily handed over to others. But I have some ideas. I wonder if Jianji can listen to me?"

Wang Jianji was immediately interested and said, "I would like to hear the details!"

Guo Chongtao said in a deep voice: "The more he wants to expand the army, the more we will follow his wishes. Instead of dissuading him, we will help him expand the army to the point where several states cannot support it!"

Wang Jianji frowned and said, "The burden on the common people is even heavier?"

"No." Guo Chongtao shook his head and said, "If he wants to set up a new army, he must have a lot of wealth as military expenses. Although the military expenses should be borne by the common people, once the military expenses are so high that the common people will not When the support cannot be afforded, the false body will try every means to get money from others to support the army."

Wang Jianji thought for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: "He...wouldn't want to burn, kill, loot and torture?"

Seeing this, Guo Chongtao waved his hands and said, "Jianji sit down for now, and listen to me. Before the Lord let me come to Luzhou, he told me one thing - Mirror Demon is a bad person!"

"Bad person?" Wang Jianji was puzzled.

Guo Chongtao nodded, and continued: "That's right, most of those actors are bad people. And the reason why they were able to get rid of me Wu Desi without any effort is because they borrowed the power of bad people."

"Bad people... But what does this have to do with the fake body's military expansion?" Wang Jianji asked doubtfully.

Guo Chongtao smiled, and did not answer, but said directly: "Jianji, you will go up to the fake body tomorrow, admonishing the massive expansion of the army, and the more troops the better, preferably more than the Fengyi army!"

Wang Jianji frowned when he heard the words, and asked in doubt: "He's not that stupid, is he? Being too militaristic is obviously self-defeating, and he probably wouldn't do that."

It is true that Li Cunxu wants to add new troops, but that is just to set up an army of 2000 people.If you recruit an army of 6000 to [-] people, relying on the land of Luzhou, I am afraid that there will be no money to support it.

Guo Chongtao glanced at him, and said: "Before, he never thought that he could stand up and become the master, but now he still sits in the governor's mansion, watching songs and dances every night, lying drunk and gentle in the countryside? How ambitious is a person? What can be done.

Tomorrow, you can just give advice, but at the last moment, you need to remind him how powerful the Mirror Demon is. "

"Hmm." Wang Jianji pondered: "The meaning of Vice Envoy Guo is to tell the phantom himself about the situation of the weak and the strong, so as to sow discord?"

Guo Chongtao shook his head and explained: "No, what I mean is that I want to let the fake body borrow money, borrow money from bad people, and support his army.

Mirror Heart Demon is a bad person, and the forces behind him are extremely powerful. I believe that the fake body will not be ignorant.Once the army is established, countless money is needed, and he will not be ignorant.You just need to tell him cryptically that the Mirror Demon has a way to get money, and he will definitely let the Mirror Demon raise money to recruit troops. "

Wang Jianji was still puzzled and said, "But the mirror demon will not be willing to use bad people's money to support the fake army, right?"

Guo Chongtao smiled lightly and said, "As long as he disagrees, there will be a estrangement between them."
