Chapter 372 Is Li Ang excluding dissidents?
"Why is this so?"

Shangshan Hu said anxiously, his emotions were so agitated that he even forgot to pay attention to etiquette for a moment, "From what you said, Master Ku He is not in a good condition right now, why did you let him go to Xihu like this!?"

"Do I need your advice on how to do things?"

Li An narrowed his eyes, which shone coldly, causing Shangshan Hu to lower his head slightly.

According to the original plan, Shangshan Hu should have mobilized his troops towards Dadong Mountain, but Li Bohua, the thirteenth disciple of Si Gu Jian who is temporarily in charge of the affairs of Dongyi City, has made some unusual moves.

Faced with the Qing soldiers who were frantically attacking and testing them because of the plot of Qing's deceased queen mother, Uesugi Tora was alone and found it difficult to handle the situation.

Although he was conceited, he could not compete with Yan Xiaoyi at this time.

Dongyi City should have been contained by the navy.
"Don't dare!"

Uesugi Tora clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "But I will report this matter to the Queen Mother truthfully."

"what ever."

Li An waved his hand and said that he would go back to the capital to discuss the matter with the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

At this time, Li An was somewhat curious about Li Bohua from Dongyi City. He did not expect that this man could predict the outcome of the battle of Dadong Mountain and take action in advance to contain the Northern Qi troops. It was really interesting. He deserved to be able to develop Taiping Money House into the largest money house in the world.

"Reorganize the entire army and attack Nanqing with all our strength tomorrow!"

Li An now received all the orders from the emperor to act according to his own wishes. He could naturally mobilize the border troops according to his own wishes. "Don't worry about Dongyi City. As long as we can achieve results within three days, we will have room to prevent the arrival of Dongyi City soldiers."

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

He first responded to Li Ang's military order in a deep voice, and then Uesugi Tora was about to ask something else, but Li Ang waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Helplessly, Uesugi Tora could only retreat with a heavy heart.

Uesugi Tora was a master of spearmanship, and he also understood strategic tactics. He was courageous and fierce in battle, making him a very rare general.

That's emotional intelligence.
Between countries, in the court, it is not about treating guests to a meal, nor is it about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom~
The reason why Uesugi Tora could grow to such a powerful position today was certainly because he had real abilities and was needed by the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time, but the two mother and daughter in the palace also had a great responsibility.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Li An looked at the information on the desk, intending to familiarize himself with everything and then have a good rest in preparation for tomorrow's attack.

Outside the tent, Taoist He exchanged glances with Uesugi Tora, then he quietly lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Sir, I have already sent a letter to Chen Xiao."

Li An nodded to show that he heard it, but his eyes never left the desk.

After a long silence, seeing that He Daoren neither left nor spoke, Li An broke the silence by saying, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Yes."

Seeing that Li An had some free time, Taoist He expressed his doubts: "It may delay your business, but I still want to ask why you let Master Ku He go to Xihu with injuries?"

Today, Xihu has the great master Yelu Xuan.

After the Battle of Datong Mountain, even they turned back to the border of Northern Qi, thinking that Yelu Xuan had retreated to Xihu and watched the fight between Northern Qi and Southern Qing.

I'm afraid that if Ku He goes this way, he will be in great danger.

Or to be more precise, this is to seek death!
How powerful is the Grand Master?

It is the existence that guards the destiny of a country, how can it be easily damaged?
"Master Ku He's time is up!" If he didn't speak, it would be fine, but once he opened his mouth, it was earth-shattering.

Li An knew that He Daoren would not tell this to anyone, so he felt safe to speak out. However, there was nothing fun in Uesugi Tiger's army except drinking.

Ordinary soldiers would not dare to drink in private, but it was different for Uesugi Tora. He had been unsupervised for too long and acted without restraint. Li An was worried that he would vent his emotions after drinking and talk nonsense and leak the matter.

"Is it possible that your medical skills are incapable of curing Master Ku He's injuries?" Taoist He asked anxiously.

Li An just stared at the other person and said nothing more.

After a while, Li An said quietly, "How could I not know what you are thinking?"

He stood up slowly and moved around in the tent to relieve the fatigue from the journey. "It is said that people in the same profession are enemies. How can a country have two of the strongest grandmasters? A country cannot have two voices. This is known to the superiors and is what you are worried about. Before, Ku He semi-retired in the Qingshan Tianyi Sect, and the two of us were considered to be at peace. But now that he has come out of seclusion and entered the game, it is hard to guarantee that he will have some ideas of his own, and once he has an idea, he will naturally use means to implement it. Are you worried that I will be taboo about these things and take the opportunity to get rid of Ku He?"

Taoist He just bowed and did not answer.

But not answering is actually already giving an answer.

Li An shook his head and explained, "As I said before, Master Ku He's time is coming."

"This is the exhaustion of the source of life, which cannot be restored by medicine and stones. Master Ku He himself knows this. Therefore, he chose another way, another way that can do more for Northern Qi."

"Master Kuhe is so righteous!"

Taoist He said in a deep voice.

"This is not a noble act, he just feels guilty."

As for why he felt guilty, Li An did not give any further explanation, "You can just treat it as Gao Yi and there will be no problem."

"But there is one thing I cannot understand at all."

Taoist He obviously understood what Ku He was going to do. The only person who could make a grandmaster risk his life to get rid of him was another grandmaster.

Today, the leader of Western Hu is just a puppet. The tribes have been incorporated and integrated by the royal family. Those who can speak openly are all Yelu Xuan's people. Therefore, as long as Yelu Xuan is gone, Western Hu will no longer have any obstacles to Northern Qi, and will only return to a state of division.

"explain."

"Sir, why don't you send Master Ku He as an envoy in the name of the Great Qi Kingdom? Using the excuse of the alliance to divide up the Qing Kingdom will not only make the Western Hu State Master relax his vigilance, but after the success, even if our Northern Qi will bear a bad reputation, we can still get a great master's fighting power in return!"

"Since you dared to let Master Ku He go, it means that this plan has the possibility of success. After fighting with Yelu Xuan, even if Master Ku He was seriously injured, he could escape." Taoist He spoke faster and faster, and became more and more anxious. After his mind was opened, he also thought of more, "In other words, there is an insider of yours in the Xihu Kingdom, and this person has a high status and can protect Master Ku He in the chaos."

"You've encountered so many things, and you've grown a lot!"

He Daoren did not think there was anything strange about being told this by Li An, who was much younger than him. Instead, he felt a little happy, as this was a kind of affirmation of himself.

However, Li An's subsequent words made his heart, which had just risen, fall to the bottom: "If you knew more about Yelu Xuan's past, you would know how stupid what you said just now was!"

"I won't elaborate on the current situation between the countries."

"I'll just say one thing. If Master Ku He went on a diplomatic mission as part of a delegation, do you believe that he would be surrounded by the army before he even met Yelu Xuan? He would be strangled on the spot!? There are few mountains in the Western Hu, and most of them are grasslands. Even if a master wanted to escape from the endless cavalry charge, it would be difficult, not to mention that Master Ku He was seriously injured and would not live long."

"The only way to assassinate someone is to hide your tracks and have a chance of success!"
