An Cui had always known that there was discord within the Red Lotus Group. He had tried to understand it in depth, but at that time, he had no capital and could not win over anyone. He had been in the Red Lotus Group for some time, but he could not climb to a higher position. Naturally, he could not investigate further.
With Jiang Pengji's financial support, An Cui was good at managing connections. He was like a tiger that had grown wings. Soon, he became a small leader that attracted much attention.
The scholar asked him many times for advice and asked An Cui to be the gunman.
However, the scholar did not recommend An Cui to the chief as he had promised. Instead, he suppressed him, intentionally or unintentionally.
An Cui did not care at first. He did not expect to attract a big fish!
This big fish was the second-in-command of the Red Lotus Group. He boasted of going through fire and water with the chief, but in the end, he could not compare to a villain who only knew how to flatter. He had always regarded the scholar as a thorn in his side. If that was the case, it would have been fine. However, the cult leader only cared about himself and did not even let his brother have a sip of the meat soup … This made the second-in-command extremely unhappy, and he bore a grudge against the scholar and the Red Lotus cult leader.
The second-in-command wanted to pull the scholar down and replace the chief's position, but he never had the chance.
An Cui's appearance gave the second-in-command hope.
He began to contact An Cui in secret, repeatedly sowing discord between An Cui and the scholar, and promised him a handsome reward.
An Cui was well aware of this, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb. He secretly tested the man's true intentions.
After testing, he saw it, dozed off, and found a pillow. It was too wonderful for words!
In the end, they hit it off and decided to stir things up.
This beggar was the messenger that An Cui had secretly sent to inform Jiang Pengji of an important piece of news in advance.
An Cui wanted to cooperate with the second-in-command. He would obey him on the surface and help him rebel against the chief of the Red Lotus Group, luring them to move their troops out of Honglian District. When Honglian District's troops were empty, he would send reinforcements. Jiang Pengji could take advantage of this opportunity to enter Honglian District.
When the scholar received news that the chief had been captured and imprisoned and hurriedly sent troops to stop the second-in-command, Jiang Pengji could turn around and attack Jinmen District.
Finally, when the scholar and the second-in-command were almost done fighting in Qiuyu District, she would take them down.
Jiang Pengji listened to the beggar's narration and could not help but frown inwardly. She still wore an appropriate amount of joy on her face.
She hadn't expected An Cui to be such a drama queen. He was really good at playing as a three-faced spy.
The livestream viewers listened for a long time, but they were still confused. It took them a long time to figure it out.
Midsummer Mosquito Duo: "The spectators are so shocked that their hands almost fell off. God An Cui's three-faced spy is really sneaky.
Shivering Winter: "Although this plan sounds great, I'm still a little worried." Who knew if this An Cui was really willing to help the host? If he wasn't a three-pronged spy, but instead played around with three sides and was only loyal to himself, then it would be terrible.
Spring Loves Sleepy: "I saw the previous livestream. An Cui and the host are in a cooperative relationship. There's no loyalty between them." His and the livestream's interests were aligned. An Cui would only benefit if the host benefited, so the possibility of An Cui scamming the host was very, very small.
Chilly Autumn: "I don't care who An Cui is loyal to. The Oscars owe him a Best Actor award for his ability as a three-faced spy!"
Not only did the Oscars owe An Cui a camp, but even Jiang Pengji couldn't help but want to double click 666 to show her commendation.
Although the Red Lotus Group's level wasn't high, the thinking of a group of ruffians in the pugilistic world was quite strange. An Cui was able to accurately grasp their thoughts and next moves, seizing any opportunity that might benefit him … Such a person was indeed a talent.
The beggar received his reward, and the strategist who had been listening at the side spoke.
Qiguan Rang frowned. He had always been paranoid, and he didn't trust An Cui at all.
Yang Si had had a brief encounter with An Cui, and he also knew some things about him from Wei Ci. He was more optimistic about this plan.
Qiguan Rang asked, "Can An Cui be trusted?"
Yang Si's lips curled into a faint smile, with a hint of scheming.
He glanced at the goose feather fan in Qiguan Rang's hand and felt a chill run down his spine. He silently averted his eyes. "It doesn't matter whether he's trustworthy or not. What's important is how much benefit my lord can gain from this. Even if Yang Si has ulterior motives, he can't shake my lord's foundation. My lord can sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Watch as the Red Lotus Group splits internally, fight and exhaust each other, and finally reap the benefits. "
However, Jiang Pengji would rather choose to start the war during the New Year. She couldn't afford to waste time.
Li Yun was confused by what he heard. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "Then, sirs … are we going to watch them kill each other?"
Qiguan Rang raised his head and glanced at Li Yun. He said strangely, "Why wouldn't we take advantage of the situation?"
Li Yun was speechless.
Dian Yan pondered for a long time, deliberating his words over and over again. Only then did he speak cautiously.
"But, but if we follow this plan, I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower." Dian Yan's expression was slightly dispirited. They had dispatched more than 10,000 troops, but if the four districts were to fight, not only would they have to run left and right, but they would also have to be on edge. This would greatly exhaust the troops' energy and combat power.
If they followed the previous plan, they would fight steadily and steadily, going one district at a time. The 10,000 troops wouldn't be too strapped for cash.
However, if they cooperated with An Cui's plan, it would be equivalent to fighting on multiple fronts. Their troops would be too scattered, and it wouldn't be conducive to consolidation and development.
Jiang Pengji said, "We can't miss this opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, there won't be another one. Dian Yan's worries aren't without reason, so I plan to mobilize a portion of the new troops here to defend the city. This will more or less deter the Red Lotus Group's rascals. "
The Red Lotus Group wasn't afraid of Jiang Pengji because they felt that the latter's troops were too few. They could try to crush them.
This was like a gang fight. A group of hooligans surrounded a martial arts master and wanted to gang up on him.
Even if they knew that the opponent was a martial arts master, he was only one person. The hooligans would definitely be able to defeat him if they attacked together.
What if the martial arts master wasn't one person, but seven or eight?
The hooligans would definitely be cautious and wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Similarly, once Jiang Pengji began to increase the number of troops and the number of people, the Red Lotus Group would have to think twice if they wanted to make a move against her.
Qiguan Rang lowered his eyes when he heard this.
His lord had an eccentric habit. If the new recruits hadn't trained for enough time and reached a certain standard, she wouldn't easily let the new recruits join the battle. The chances of new recruits with insufficient experience and ability dying in battle were too high. To her, letting immature new recruits join the battle was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
Once she let the new recruits join the battle, it meant that she had already made up her mind to accomplish something.
Yang Si smiled maliciously. "If we mobilize the troops, I'm afraid Zixiao and the rest will go crazy from exhaustion."
Jiang Pengji continued, "Zixiao's health isn't good. No one will tire him out. Isn't there still Feng Zhen to hold the fort?"
Wei Ci just had to do what he was supposed to do and dump the extra labor on Feng Zhen.
Yang Si was surprised for a moment. There was something indescribably strange in his heart.
