The Grandmaster Strategist

On the tenth day of April, Yongdu received a military report, which only mentioned the disastrous defeat of Yong's army in the Qinshui Valley. Taizong was furious after hearing the news, led his army to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, left the prince to supervise the country, and went to Tongguan in person.

——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yong Ji III"

In Qinyuan City, after finishing the complicated military affairs, Duan Wudi stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body. Although the injury had healed since the last poisonous injury, he still felt weak and weak. This time he was ordered to stay behind. Qinyuan, he was busy all day with the Qinshui River Valley, just in case he could retreat here if the army was defeated, so he almost never blinked these days. Military reports from the front line were delivered every day, and Duan Wudi knew the military rank of the Northern Han Dynasty. After the pursuit, Yong's army had already fled. However, at this time today, there was no military report. Duan Wudi was extremely worried. However, this place was more than a hundred miles away from the Ji family. Although he had sent scouts to investigate, But if something goes wrong ahead, he won't be able to get the news before tomorrow morning.

After walking around in the study for a few times, Duan Wudi felt a little uneasy after all. With a flash of inspiration, he thought of a person. This person had an unusual identity. He might have some unique insights into the battle situation in this fog, although this person was definitely not. He will say it easily, but there is still a chance to make some excuses. Thinking of this, he called his personal guards and walked towards the dungeon behind the prefect's mansion.

Duan Wudi walked slowly down the bluestone corridor. The walls on both sides were cold and damp, and there was even moss growing close to the ground. Except for the light of the torches, there was no trace of skylight. This is where felons are imprisoned, and the inside and outside are on guard. It's so tight that even a mouse can't escape. At the end of the corridor, there is a fine steel iron door, but there is a layer of rust on it, perhaps due to time. The two sergeants guarding the door bowed.

Duan Wudi asked in a low voice: "How is the prisoner's condition?"

A sergeant replied: "General Qi, he has been silent since he woke up, but he has not resisted. Now he can get up, but he cannot walk."

Duan Wudi nodded and asked them to open the iron door. As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of medicinal herbs mixed with moisture rushed out. Duan Wudi frowned slightly and walked in. The prison was about two feet in diameter. There was only a stone bed directly opposite, which was covered with thick straw and exuded moisture. An iron chain extended from the wall, and the shackles at the end locked the hands and feet of the man sitting on the stone bed. Live, making it difficult for this person to move beyond the scope of the iron chain. The man was wearing a coarse prison uniform, and there were many wounds wrapped in strips of cloth. He was obviously seriously injured. His long hair was scattered in front of his face, and his appearance could not be seen, but the left side of his face could be seen from the hair gap. Also wrapped in white cloth, this man was described as embarrassed, but as he sat there, he still had an upright posture and a calm demeanor. Although he was in prison, there was no trace of fear or depression at all.

Duan Wudi frowned slightly. This man was injured by fire. This dungeon was really not suitable for him. However, this man was a general of the Yong Army, and he was not in a position to tolerate him. Walking to the bed, Duan Wudi said, "General Xuan, has your injury gotten better?"

The man raised his head and raised his right hand to push away the long hair covering his face, revealing a haggard face. The left cheek was wrapped in white cloth, but traces of burns could still be seen, but his appearance was that of Xuan Songxuan Changqing. . He smiled slightly and said: "It turns out to be General Duan. My injury has not worsened. Thank you, General, for sending military advisors for diagnosis and treatment."

Duan Wudi sighed softly. On that day, the Yong army tried desperately to rush out of the valley, but the general ordered to block the way with bows and crossbows. More than ten thousand Yong soldiers were killed in the fire. When they were cleaning the battlefield, they found that Xuan Song was killed by dozens of guards. Pressed under his body and protected by his body's blood, it was rare for a Yong Army general of this status to be captured in recent years. Therefore, Long Tingfei ordered him to be imprisoned and ordered military doctors to diagnose and treat him. When Xuan Song woke up, Long Tingfei had already led his troops and set off. Duan Wudi had also intended to learn about some Yong Jun military aircraft from Xuan Song. However, Xuan Song was almost silent after waking up. Although he had no intention of seeking death, he was completely He didn't have the heart to surrender, Duan Wudi was busy with military affairs, and Xuan Song was still injured, so he didn't work hard on it.

But now that the military situation is unclear, Duan Wudi cannot be merciful and must find ways to learn the secrets of Yong's army from Xuan Song.

Xuan Song looked at Duan Wudi who was in a daze. He understood the purpose of this person's coming. Although he never saw the light of day in this prison, he could know the approximate date based on the number of meals he had eaten. Plus the time he was seriously injured and comatose. Presumably, the Northern Han Army has already ambushed. It seems that Duan Wudi has not received accurate information yet, but just realized that something is wrong. After escaping from death on the battlefield, Xuan Song felt no desire to die except for the soldiers who died, because of what King Qi said when he left, if he could return to Yong's army, even if he suffered some humiliation, it would be worth it. Yes, but if the generals of the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to ask him what military planes he was talking about, don't even think about it. Although he wanted to fight again, he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Thinking of this, Xuansong said: "General Duan, does he know why Xuan is still alive today?"

Duan Wudi was moved in his heart and said: "Duan wants to declare that the general is not a person who surrenders on his knees. He must want to see Dayong Banner again."

Xuan Song smiled and said: "Xuan has been familiar with military books since he was a child, but his martial arts skills are mediocre. Cavalry and archery skills are the most important among Dayong's army. Therefore, although Xuan really wanted to lead the army in battle, there was no chance. It was also Xuan's good luck. He joined the army under General Jing Chi. General Jing Chi was open-minded and did not care about the dispersion of power. He allowed Xuan to lead the army. Later, he was appreciated by the supervisor of the army and His Highness the King of Qi. In the battle between Qin and Ze, Xuan became famous all over the world, so he did this. He became a general. This fame was hard-won, and Xuan Mou always cherished it in his heart. Therefore, that day when General Long burned Qinshui, Xuan Mou knew that he would escape death, but he still led his troops to die."

Duan Wudi frowned and said, "Actually, your Highness the King of Qi has led his army away that day. You can't retreat in time, so why not surrender? It's a pity that General Xuan is so stubborn that 20,000 warriors died in the sea of ​​fire. How can General Xuan bear it?"

Xuan Song said calmly: "General Duan's words are wrong. Although he could still kneel down and beg for his life that day, how could I, the brave warrior of Dayong, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? If so, I'm afraid that although I can live in this world, I will never be seen again. People. Some things are like this. Is it true that General Duan is in a desperate situation and will surrender just to save the lives of his sergeants?"

Duan Wudi was speechless. If he could do this, why would he have to fight so hard against Dayong? He knew that the situation was unfavorable, but he still had to work hard to deal with it. Some things seemed to be just a step of concession, but that step was ultimately irreconcilable. He also understood what Xuan Song meant, not to expect to ask him about military aircraft, but this was the only way for him to give up gently. After thinking about it, he could only make some insinuations, hoping to learn more clues. . Thinking of this, Duan Wudi said respectfully: "It's Duan Menglang. General Xuan is a loyal man and will never taint himself. Duan also doesn't want to seek disgrace. However, this place is not suitable for recuperation. Duan's I would like to ask General Xuan to come to my house to recover from his injuries. What do you think of me?"

Xuan Song knew that he just wanted to act in a roundabout way. Even if he was unwilling, it was difficult to stop his good intentions. Besides, he was not a pedantic person, so he just smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Xuan."

Duan Wudi felt a little happy in his heart, and ordered his soldiers to help Xuan Song out of the dungeon, and sent him to his residence. He found a tightly guarded room for Xuan Song to recuperate. Regardless of whether it could soften this person's defenses, the respect in his heart was enough to make him recover. Duan Wudi did so.

Unfortunately, the bad news came too quickly. When the scouts reported that a Yong army had appeared south of the Ji family and that General Long had been surrounded, Duan Wudi was almost stunned. He fidgeted and read through all the information he could get. Duan Wudi was helpless. He found that the only mobile military force of the Northern Han Dynasty was trapped, and he only had tens of thousands of infantry in his hands. He could defend the city, but he was unable to rescue him. He felt as if all the strength in his body had been defeated by the bad news. After thinking for a moment, he ordered the news to be blocked, and immediately ordered someone to secretly report the military situation of the country to the Lord, strengthen Qinyuan's defense, and then do everything he could to After that, he walked into the residence where Xuan Song was under house arrest.

At this moment, Xuan Song had changed into clean clothes and was leaning on the couch to recover from his injuries. When Duan Wudi walked in, he was reading an ancient book with gusto. Hearing Duan Wudi's footsteps, he raised his head and saw Duan Wudi's face was solemn, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes. His heart moved, and he guessed that the military information about the trapped Northern Han army might have returned. He put down the book and said calmly Said: "General Duan looks uneasy, but is there something wrong ahead?"

Duan Wudi looked at Xuan Song deeply and said, "General Xuan is a general in the army, and he has the trust of the Marquis of Chuxiang. Is it possible that he doesn't know what happened today?"

Xuan Song said calmly: "The Marquis of Chuxiang is wise and brave, and he has millions of soldiers in his chest. How can I know his strategy? But when it comes to temple calculations, no one in the central control of the Northern Han Dynasty can be his opponent. Although the general uses his troops like a god, , It’s a pity that due to the limited military strength, even if we win nine out of ten battles, this final defeat will be enough to overwhelm the country.”

Duan Wudi felt a pain in his heart. The unrealistic fantasy he still had was shattered. He held the sword on his waist, wishing he could kill the person in front of him with one sword. However, after a long time, his murderous intention finally subsided and he coldly He said coldly: "The general has a hundred thousand cavalry and is assisted by Princess Jiaping. Although he is trapped, he cannot be easily eaten. The battle may not be turning around. General Xuan better not be happy too early."

A cold light flashed in Xuan Song's eyes, and he said: "The general attacks with light cavalry. He only has two days of food and grass around him at most. I don't know how many days it can last?"

A trace of luck flashed in Duan Wudi's eyes. According to the information he received, before the encirclement of Yong's army, the navy responsible for transporting food and grass had entered the encirclement and joined Long Tingfei's army. Although it was impossible for the navy to break through the encirclement, Long Ting Fei had at least half a month of food and grass around him. If he saved some, he could delay the attack for some more time. Although the Northern Han army was trapped, there was not necessarily no hope of breaking out. Of course he didn't want to tell Xuan Song about these things, but in order to continue to get some information, Duan Wudi said sarcastically: "Whether the general has enough food and grass around him is not something that General Xuan has to worry about. It's just that Emperor Yong's army came out lightly, although the clues have only been revealed so far. , but now everyone knows it, I’m afraid Emperor Yong will regret it.”

Xuan Song knew that he was secretly watching Chu Hu and the instability in Dongchuan, but he didn't know how to deal with these things, so he just smiled and said: "The Daizhou army is going south. I wonder what the situation is like in Yanmen?"

Duan Wudi hesitated. The situation in Daizhou was tense. It was not that he didn't know this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Thinking of this, Duan Wudi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought that he was just an ordinary general and could not control the overall situation. Now the situation was corrupt. At this point, I was even more helpless. The only thing I could do was to ask for help from the king and try my best to defend Qinyuan City.

Looking at Duan Wudi's slightly sad figure as he left, Xuan Song smiled faintly. He understood what this man was thinking. It was just that the Beihan Building was about to collapse. How could a few people turn the tide? But he didn't know if he had the power. Hoping to survive, maybe the Northern Han Dynasty court would order him to be executed in front of the battle in order to remain uncompromising.

In the Zhaotai Pavilion in the Great Yong Emperor's capital, Huang Chong'ai and Huang Li were beaming with joy, embroidering a bright yellow dragon robe stitch by stitch. The emperor was very fond of her these days, and he was blessed with many blessings. She was a woman with no independent ideas, and she had long been In the past, he gave up all his worries and spent every day trying his best to please Li Zhi, hoping to gain more favor.

While she was concentrating on her embroidery, her confidant maid Chan'er came in with tea. Seeing Huang Chong'ai's concentrated expression, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but it turned into a smile. She stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty's embroidery worker." It is becoming more and more miraculous, this cloud dragon is really going to fly away from its clothes, the emperor will definitely be very happy to see it."

Huang Chongnai chuckled and said: "My little embroidery skills are not as good as my cousin's. My cousin is the number one embroiderer in old Shu. Her dragon robes are so vivid when she embroiders them."

Just as he said this, a hearty laugh came from outside the door and said: "Really, my dear, are you too humble? I think your embroidery skills are already very good."

Huang Li raised her head happily and saw Li Zhi walking in, followed closely by Song Wan. She quickly stepped forward to salute and was picked up by Li Zhi. Li Zhi picked up the half-embroidered dragon robe, looked at the exquisite embroidery work on it, and said, "Why, is your cousin a better embroiderer than you?"

Huang Li's eyes were shining brightly and he said: "Of course, there are four famous embroideries in the world. The first person of Su embroidery is Nanchu Gu Xiu Niang, the first person of Hunan embroidery is Da Yong Xue Lingyi, and the first person of Min embroidery is Nan Minyue Qingyan. , the number one person in Shu embroidery is Chen Concubine’s cousin Song Ying. Chen Concubine once learned embroidery from her cousin when she was young, but her talent and talent were far inferior. If her cousin were in Yongdu, Chen Concubine would definitely ask her to embroider a dragon robe for the emperor. "

Li Zhi said thoughtfully: "Fujian embroidery, Yue Qingyan, is she the bride of the Marquis of Donghai?"

Huang Li's eyes flashed with confusion, and he said: "I don't know, I just heard people say that Qingyan, Yue in southern Fujian, likes imitation embroidery calligraphy and painting the most. The brushwork and style of painting are just like the original ones. However, Miss Yue is a well-known lady and has very few works. If I can get one, I usually treasure it without revealing it, so I have never seen it."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "If it is really the person I think of, it will be easy. I will definitely ask her to give you a pair of embroidery in the future. However, your cousin is also famous for her embroidery. I wonder where she is now?"

Huang Li's expression changed, he glanced at Li Zhi secretly, lowered his head and said, "My cousin was originally a female official of the Lord of Shu. She was sent home after the fall of Shu, and she was brought into the palace for Prince Qing two years ago."

Li Zhi frowned slightly inadvertently and said, "I see. In the late Song Dynasty, was there such a girl among the concubines of Prince Qing?"

Song Wan glanced at Huang Li and said, "Your Majesty, there is no such girl. I think this girl is just a concubine of His Highness Prince Qing, so she did not report it to the Ming Zong family."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will give her the title of concubine to the Song family someday."

Huang Li was overjoyed and bowed down: "On behalf of my sister, I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his grace."

Li Zhi lifted her up. Seeing her radiant face and infinite joy, his heart softened. He gently took her into his arms. Huang Li was weak and weak, and her face was red. Song Wan and Chan'er pushed her out knowingly. While the two of them were in love, Song Wan suddenly rushed in nervously, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are eight hundred miles in Zezhou to expedite the military situation report."

The annoyance on Li Zhi's face was immediately replaced by a look of shock. He let go of Huang Li, not caring that he was still in the concubine's palace. He stepped forward to receive the military report. At first glance, he saw that his body was shaky and his face was as pale as snow. After a while, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves. Out, Song Wan hurriedly followed. Huang Li was shocked and quickly knelt down to send Li Zhi away. After Li Zhi left, Chan'er walked in in panic and asked, "Your Majesty, why did the Emperor leave in such a rage? Could it be that Your Majesty didn't serve you well?"

Huang Li shook his head and said: "No, the emperor suddenly received the news from Zezhou and left like this. Judging from the emperor's expression, there must be something going on ahead that annoyed the emperor."

Chan'er's expression changed, and she said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is so troubled, you might as well go and inquire about it, so as not to accidentally touch the Emperor's thoughts with your words."

Huang Li said distressedly: "But how can I inquire about this? If I take this kind of thing too seriously, I'm afraid I will be scolded by the Queen."

Chan'er smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Aren't you grateful to the queen for her love and care? Why don't you go see the queen now? Just say that the emperor suddenly became angry. You are worried that the emperor is very angry. Please ask the queen to find out. Just wait until afterwards and ask the Queen what happened. The Queen is compassionate and kind, and she will definitely not hide it from the Queen."

Huang Li thought so, and stood up and said: "You will help me dress up, and I will go to pay my respects to the Queen." Chan'er was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to help Huang Li dress up, but Huang Li could not see the vicious smile on the corner of Chan'er's mouth.

When Huang Li came back from the Queen's Palace, her face was filled with sadness. She complained to Chan'er: "How good is this one? Zezhou was defeated again. I heard that the Daizhou Army appeared and His Highness King Qi retreated." Thirty miles later, he was defeated miserably by another fire. It seems that there is another general who has independently cut off the throne and his life and death are unknown. Isn’t His Highness the King of Qi one of the most famous generals? He also has the help of the Jiang Consort who is said to be extremely intelligent, but he is defeated like this. Unfortunately, the empress said that the emperor is summoning his ministers to prepare for the expedition in person. Alas, the emperor is worth a thousand gold, so why bother to do it in person? It’s not like the court is without generals. Although General Changsun was sent out to defend the South a few days ago, Chu, but aren’t there General Qin and the others?”

Chan'er comforted her and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty was the number one general in Dayong in the past. If he were to conquer it personally, he would be successful immediately. My Majesty, why not embroider the dragon robe quickly? If the Emperor can wear it in time, then it will be a success." How wonderful it would be.”

Huang Li nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and quickly picked up the unfinished dragon robe and began to thread the needle. Chan'er saw that she was concentrating on her work and could not care about herself, so she quietly walked out and excused herself to the imperial dining room. That night, there was information about Li Zhi's upcoming conquest. The news went to Dongchuan.

Outside the Wenhua Palace, since a few important ministers entered the palace, all the chamberlains and maids have been expelled from the palace. These people are all frightened. Who doesn’t know that the emperor was furious in the palace just now? If the emperor is offended at this moment, I am afraid that Their lives were in danger, even in the eyes of the Mingjun Holy Lord, the lives of these people were nothing more than ants, and the emperor's wrath was no small matter. These people never expected that the atmosphere in the Wenhua Palace was not as tense as they imagined. In fact, Li Zhi was sitting behind the Long Shu desk with a smile on his face, looking at a secret envelope, which was jointly signed by Qi Wang Li Xian and Chu Xiang Hou Jiangzhe, and was handed over through the most secret channel.

Zheng Xia, Shi Yu, Dong Zhi, Guan Xiu, Gou Lian, as well as Qin Yi and Cheng Shu were all summoned to the palace by Li Zhi. This pattern makes people believe that there is indeed an emergency military situation ahead, that is, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu were summoned to the palace. I was uneasy when I was summoned by special order, and I didn't feel relieved until I learned the inside story.

Li Zhi put down the secret book and said happily: "Sixth brother and Suiyun have indeed lived up to my expectations. Now that the Northern Han army has entered the ambush, the overall situation has been decided. Sixth brother is not afraid of hardships and dangers, risking his own life. I am very comforted in my heart."

Shi Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been planning for the battle of the Northern Han Dynasty for a long time. Although General Changsun used an excuse to support General Pei, 300,000 troops rushed to Zezhou silently. Your Majesty has spent all his efforts, and now he finally defeated the Northern Han Dynasty. The main force of the army is trapped, and with His Highness King Qi's military tactics, Long Tingfei cannot break out even if he uses his troops like a god, and the main force of the Daizhou army is also trapped in a tight siege, which is very beneficial to the future capture of Daizhou."

Qin Yi frowned and said, "I have also seen Lin Yuanting in Daizhou. He is brave and heroic, strong and loyal. It will be very difficult to subdue him. However, the Lin family of Daizhou has made great contributions to the society of the people of Li, and his reputation in Daizhou is as high as the sky. If Lin refuses to surrender, I'm afraid your Majesty will be in trouble."

Gou Lian said: "Although Duke Xin's concerns are extremely serious, although the Lin family of Daizhou is famous, it was because they defended Daizhou against barbarians. For them, guarding their hometown was the most important thing, so even though they were They were dissatisfied with the independence of the Northern Han Dynasty, but they still surrendered in the end because they did not want to make enemies on both sides. They only needed to separate Daizhou and Jinyang. When Jinyang was conquered and the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, the Lin family would eventually surrender. Maybe they He will resist Dayong's rule, but he will not be an enemy of the imperial court."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Even so, I hope that the Lin family can willingly submit to Dayong. The Lin family has been responsible for controlling Daizhou for generations and resisting barbarians. They have made outstanding contributions. In the future when Dayong will rule the world, good generals will be needed to guard Daizhou. The Lin family is the best candidate. , I have sent a letter to the King of Qi, ordering him to save the life of Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping, and to make an emergency landing against the Daizhou Army."

Zheng Xia said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although the Lin family in Daizhou is suspected of separatism, they have been good generals loyal to the king for generations and have no ambitions. If they can be appeased, they will definitely be a barrier to the northern border. However, if you want the Lin family to surrender, it is the last step. The best way is to forcefully surrender to the Northern Han royal family and ask the Northern Han leader to write a letter to persuade them to surrender. If a large army is used to suppress the border, the Daizhou army will definitely rise up to resist. If the two armies fight and suffer heavy losses, it will not be conducive to appeasing Daizhou in the future."

Li Zhi said: "The same is true for me. This time I am determined to conquer in person. Although I also have the intention of luring the enemy, my primary purpose is to calm the overall situation of the Northern Han Dynasty. Although the King of Qi is brave, he has never been indifferent to government affairs. Suiyun is weak and cannot bear the fatigue." , after the Pinghan Dynasty, all matters will be complicated, and I will be the master of them all."

Zheng Xia and others did not object to Li Zhi's personal expedition. Not to mention that Li Zhi was the military god of Dayong. It was a matter of course that he went to the battlefield to win. Even for the King of Qi, Li Zhi's personal expedition to the Northern Han battlefield had more advantages than disadvantages. This battle Although King Qi's record is not remarkable, if he had not put himself in danger and lured the Northern Han army into a trap, there would not be the current situation. After King Qi annihilates the Northern Han army, he can go north to Jinyang and break through the Northern Han Dynasty. The capital, such a contribution was too heavy for the King of Qi. If Li Zhi personally directed the final battle to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty, this would be a more appropriate way to deal with both Dayong and King Qi. What's more, Li Zhi's personal expedition also had the effect of luring snakes into action. Instead of letting King Qing of Dongchuan attack Dayong when Dayong was most vulnerable, it would be safer to let him attack at a time selected by the court.

While Li Zhi was discussing the personal expedition with others, Song Wan quietly walked into the palace and received a secret envelope. After Li Zhi took it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the envelope from Xiahou. He has already arranged it." It's ready and can be activated at any time. You are here to ask for my instructions."

When they heard Xiahou Yuanfeng's name, everyone couldn't help but frown slightly. Although Xiahou Yuanfeng had become a close confidant of Emperor Yong in the past few years, this handsome young man who used to be as handsome as jade had already become a dark figure in everyone's hearts. Xiahou Yuanfeng's insidious and ruthless methods have also been criticized by many people, but everyone knows the position of Mingjian Division in Li Zhi's heart, and there is also the shadow of Jiang Zhe behind Xiahou Yuanfeng. Although Jiang Zhe did not intervene in the affairs of Mingjian Division, Xiahou Yuanfeng used to serve King Yong through Jiang Zhe, and his deputy Liu Hua was Jiang Zhe's former confidant. He was very respected, so everyone had long vaguely regarded him as a member of Jiang Zhe's family.

Even so, after hearing that the biggest hidden danger to his confidants was about to be eliminated, everyone showed a look of satisfaction. Li Zhi put down his secret book, but there was a hint of worry in his heart. Xiahou Yuanfeng's secret book hinted that he would take the opportunity to take over Jiang Zhe's role. The secret power of old Shu. In Li Zhi's heart, when Dongchuan falls into his control, he does not want there to be a force independent of his control. As for the Jinxiu Alliance, no matter how much control Jiang Zhe has over this force, it is still As a rebellious organization, Li Zhi's only worry was whether it would arouse Jiang Zhe's dissatisfaction?
