So I have spies at every intersection of Hongxiuzhao!

However, in order to avoid being targeted by the Jinyiwei, these people usually make a living on their own and rarely pass on information unless something big happens! "

"Okay!" Li Chengyuan was shocked and asked again, "If I want you to issue a task to them at the same time, how long do you need to notify them?"

"One night is enough!"

"Okay!" Li Chengyuan said, "Well, later on, you'll give them all a mission. Tell them to pay attention tomorrow to where in the city the Jinyiwei are searching, where martial law is in place, and where everything is peaceful. And then report back by tomorrow night. Can you do that?"

"No problem!" Qin Banruo nodded immediately.

If Hongxiuzhao can't even do this, then it's better to disband as soon as possible!

"Well!" Li Chengyuan continued, "Then give a mission tonight to the spy lurking among Shen Wan'er. Tell her to take Shen Wan'er out of the house. It doesn't matter where you go. Just tell me the route!"

"Okay!" Qin Banruo nodded again.

"And!" Li Chengyuan asked again, "Can you contact Li Yishan?"

Because they were all in Shangjing City, Qin Banruo knew about Li Yishan's existence.

"Sure!" Qin Banruo replied, "He now makes a living by setting up a fortune-telling stall!"

"......"

Li Chengyuan was speechless. This group of counselors were really good at pretending to be pigs and eating the tiger!

They are all old silver coins!

"Go and inform him now. I'll meet him in front of the Meng Mansion and go with him to find Meng Zhi!"

"Yes!" Qin Banruo did not dare to delay and went down to do the work immediately.

Li Chengyuan sat in the private room, eating while thinking about his next plan.

........

A quarter of an hour later, Li Chengyuan left the restaurant and headed for Meng's mansion.

Meng Zhi was a native of Northern Qi.

The family was even once a noble family of Qi State.

But later the family fell into poverty and Meng Zhi was the only one left.

Relying on his deceased father's relationship, he got a job in the imperial guards.

Later, because of his strong ability, he was gradually promoted to Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards.

The Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards is a third-rank official, second only to the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.

He holds a high position in the military.

However, because he did not reveal his ninth-grade cultivation, Meng Zhi has always been very low-key in the imperial guards.

At around 3:45 p.m., Li Chengyuan and Li Yishan met near Meng's residence.

Li Chengyuan also disguised himself.

But Li Yishan recognized him at a glance.

This kind of eyesight is much stronger than Qin Banruo's.

"I, Li Yishan, pay my respects to Your Highness!"

Li Yishan stepped forward and was about to salute.

Li Chengyuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Alright, there are so many people around, don't be so polite. I am your Taoist child now!"

Li Yishan understood instantly, then immediately stood up, picked up the stand, handed the banner in his hand to Li Chengyuan, and strode forward with his head held high!

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan couldn't help but secretly praise him. He was worthy of being Xu Xiao's military advisor in "Snow". In his every move, Li Chengyuan even saw the shadow of Zhuge Liang in his later years!

Soon, the two arrived at the Meng Mansion.

Li Yishan introduced himself and gave the doorman five taels of silver, asking him to pass on the message.

Things get done easily with money, the doorman ran over to report.

After a while, the doorman came out and led them into the mansion.

Afterwards, the doorman led them into Meng Zhi's study.

When they entered the study, they saw Meng Zhi already waiting inside.

Meng Zhi asked the doorman to leave. When the study was clear, Meng Zhi immediately stepped forward and said to Li Yishan in surprise, "Mr. Li, you are finally here. But is there any news about His Highness?"

Li Yishan didn't say anything.

Li Chengyuan touched his face and his true face was revealed.

"Your Highness...Your Highness?" Meng Zhi was stunned for a moment, then he was suddenly surprised and happy, and immediately knelt on one knee.

"This humble general, Meng Zhi, pays homage to His Highness!"

"Alright, alright!" Li Chengyuan hurriedly helped Meng Zhi up and said softly, "Don't be so polite. Be careful, there are ears!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Meng Zhi giggled, looking really happy.

Li Chengyuan also smiled.

He also likes Meng Zhi very much.

There is no doubt about Meng Zhi's military ability. Although he is a little naive, he is obedient, steady and reliable, and deserves to be reused.

Because time was tight, no one was polite.

Meng Zhi directly led him and Li Yishan to the innermost part of the study.

After everyone took their seats, Li Chengyuan finally spoke: "Time is running out, so I'll just focus on the key points!"

Meng Zhi and Li Yishan's expressions immediately became serious.

Li Chengyuan paused, then continued, "One of my goals in coming to Northern Qi this time is to train Meng Zhi to become a key general in the Northern Qi army!

It would be best if he could replace Uesugi Tora and become the new general of Northern Qi!"

In fact, no one knows that Meng Zhi is Li Chengyuan’s biggest trump card in his campaign against Northern Qi!

Li Chengyuan never thought of conquering Northern Qi through war.

That would take too long and would inevitably result in the loss of lives, which was not what Li Chengyuan wanted to see.

Therefore, ever since the system rewarded Meng Zhi, 947 has been planning this move.

Rather than defeating Northern Qi head-on, it is better to disintegrate Northern Qi from within.

As long as he could train Meng Zhi to become a great general of Qi, he would almost be in control of the military power of Northern Qi.

When he leads his troops to war in the future, all he needs is a little cooperation from Meng Zhi to destroy the Northern Qi army.

To put it bluntly, even reaching Shangjing City in one breath is not a problem!

Therefore, the key issue now is how to make Meng Zhi the new general of Northern Qi!

After hearing this, Meng Zhi had a silly look on his face, and it was unclear whether he was shocked or didn't understand.

And Li Yishan was already thinking of a solution.

Li Yishan was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, if you want Meng Zhi to become a general, there are three prerequisites!"

"Sir, please speak!" Li Chengyuan said.

Li Yishan said, “First, we need to deal with Uesugi Tiger.

No matter what, he was a great general who had made countless military achievements for Northern Qi.

As long as he doesn't abdicate, General Meng Zhi will never have a chance to rise to prominence!"

"Don't worry, Uesugi Tiger, I can take care of him!"

Li Yishan nodded and continued:

"Secondly, Meng Zhi needs military merit!

He is now a lieutenant general of the imperial guards and does not even have military power.

Without military merit, he won't be able to get promoted!"

Li Chengyuan said again: "That's no problem. I can create a rebellion and then find a way to get him to quell it!"

Li Yishan nodded again, and then continued:

"Then the third point remains, which is how can General Meng gain the trust of the Northern Qi Emperor?

In other words, how can we get the Northern Qi Emperor to notice General Meng?"

Li Chengyuan said in a deep voice: "This is also a problem that has always bothered me.

Before this, my idea was to let Uesugi Tora assassinate him.

Before, when we were at the border, I caught Uesugi Tora and then deliberately let him go.

So the young emperor of Northern Qi must have guessed that I had a secret deal with Uesugi Tora.

Before that, I was in the palace and confessed to the young emperor that I wanted to defeat Northern Qi and unify the world!

In this way, I will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the young emperor of Northern Qi.

Whatever I want to do, he will definitely destroy it!

So I asked Uesugi Tora to assassinate Meng Zhi.

The little emperor would mistakenly believe that Meng Zhi and I have a grudge against each other.

At that time, Meng Zhi can take the opportunity to show his ninth-grade strength.

In this case, in order to prevent my "goal" from being achieved, the young emperor will definitely protect Meng Zhi well, and may even use him in a more important position from now on!"

After hearing this, Li Yishan couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness's plan is a brilliant one, with links connecting everything together!"

Li Chengyuan smiled when he heard this.

However, before his smile could last long, he heard Li Yishan say another sentence.

"It's a pity that the marks are too heavy!"

Li Chengyuan: "......"
