After hearing this, Xiao Jing was also stunned.

"Where are more than 300 ships of all sizes? They were gone in one battle?"

"It's gone in one battle." Liu Xinda said bitterly: "It's not just Zheng Wenchang from Dongting, but Li Hao also came. Their warships are obviously much stronger than ours."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jing deeply felt the same. "Li Ze's warship is indeed powerful. Our Lingnan navy was defeated by Pan Motang in one battle. The navy, which was built in Lingnan for several years, was wasted in such a way."

Liu Xinda looked at Xiao Jing in shock: "You... Li Ze openly attacked you?"

"Of course I will never admit it. I just say it is a pirate. Hehe, what kind of pirate has such great ability?" Xiao Jing said helplessly: "But in the battle at sea, we destroyed our navy in one battle, and we didn't even leave a prisoner for us. Even if we were to prove it, there was no evidence. What can we do? After all, we were not strong enough and could only kill our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs."

Liu Xinda couldn't help laughing, shaking his head while laughing.

"General Liu, so, I'll come to you to seek cooperation." Xiao Jing spread his hands and said, "You know your situation now, right? Can Ezhou defend it?"

"Do your best and leave your destiny, and I hope you can stay longer. It can be regarded as fulfilling your loyalty." Liu Xinda said.

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "So why? If you don't have a ready-made way of living, do you insist on going to death? General Liu, let's not hide it from you, we also want E Yue, so we hope you can cooperate with us."

"What kind of cooperation method?" Liu Xinda laughed and said, "Didn't you just say that you are not strong compared to Li Ze?"

"It's one thing to lack strength, but another thing to plan." Xiao Jingda looked at Liu Xinda meaningfully and said, "A little impotence will cause trouble. This is why we suffered such a big loss at sea and swallowed this breath. Isn't it just for a longer-term goal?"

"Once Li Ze takes Chang'an, I don't think you can have any strength to turn the world back!" Liu Xinda said coldly: "I'm afraid everyone knows that when Li Ze takes Chang'an, it's when your emperor son-in-law of Xiang Shuai died. Even though Xiang Shuai has some strength now, he is afraid that he will not be able to fight against Li Ze?"

"There are indeed difficulties in confrontation, but sometimes, solving problems does not necessarily require face-to-face fighting, right? Maybe there will be a simpler solution."

"What can be a simple way?" Liu Xinda shook his head and didn't believe it: "It's not just that the court in the north is managed by Li Ze, but it's also extremely solid. You want to change the world, unless Li Ze suddenly dies."

Xiao Jing smiled and said nothing.

Looking at the other party's smiling face, Liu Xinda was stunned at first, then was shocked: "You are really thinking like this?"

"Why not?" Xiao Jing said.

After a while, Liu Xinda shook his head repeatedly: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Who is Li Ze? It's too ridiculous for you to do assassination. Not to mention being close assassination, it would be a strange thing for your people to walk within ten steps of Li Ze."

"General Liu, how to do it is our business. Can it be done? It is also our business, but no matter whether we succeed or not, what losses will be for you?" Xiao Jing said: "On the contrary, for you, there are only benefits and no harm. You are all people who hold the belief of death. So shouldn't you firmly grasp this straw? If we fail, we can still hold on to warm up when we win. If we win, you can gain a greater future because of forming an alliance with us."

After thinking for a while, Liu Xinda said: "Tell me about your plan."

Xiao Jing took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said, "In the first stage, we hope that General Liu Xinda can fight to the death and defend the longer the better, so that the Tang army will struggle under the city of Ezhou."

"This is what I am doing." Liu Xinda said: "In the past year, I have only done one thing, that is, how to make Ezhou City more impoverished. The current Ezhou City is more steeper than the Qianfeng era."

"I saw this when I came into the city." Xiao Jing said: "When they were frustrated under the city, we would take the opportunity to ask for support. You also know that now General Xiang Zhen is in Jiangxi with his army, and we are ready. Liu Ruyan has no reason to refuse our initiative to come to support. Because we are also the Tang army!"

Liu Xinda stared at his opponent in a daze.

"When we arrive and attack you, it is time for you to surrender to us." Xiao Jing smiled and said, "General Liu, if you surrender to Li Ze, your best outcome will be to be a condo, but if you surrender to us, Xiang Shuai can assure you that you will be the new governor of Eyue Jiedu."

"Will Liu Ruyan watch you pick fruits like this?"

"Even if we are not willing to accept it, what can she do? At that time, E Yue is the one we have taken down. Can she be sent to fight with us? Then we can turn against her rightfully. At that time, we will occupy a moral high point, and at this time, the Tang army will also officially launch a general attack on Henan. Will they turn against us at this time?" Xiao Jing said proudly: "Even if you are unwilling to accept it, Liu Ruyan will probably endure this tone and lead troops to attack Zhongwujie Town to reduce the pressure on the Tang army on the Henan battlefield."

"But the Tang army still has Qian Biao, their navy, and of course, Jingnan!" Liu Xinda said.

"Liu Ruyan left with the main force. Their navy also had to launch an attack along the canal to the Central Plains. They needed the navy to transport grain and troops, and could they stay here?" Xiao Jing said: "You don't have to worry about Jingnan. Zhu Yougui will definitely send troops at that time. Just relying on Tian Guofeng's ten thousand people to withstand the Shu army? The focus of Jingnan's side will inevitably be on guarding against the Shu army. If Qian Biao is left alone, what's there to worry about?"

Liu Xinda took a deep breath, and I have to say that Xiao Jing's proposal was a great temptation for him.

"My family is in Chang'an. Once I surrender to you, my family will inevitably suffer misfortune in Chang'an." Liu Xinda said.

Xiao Jing smiled slightly: "I think this is also one of the reasons why you are unwilling to surrender to Li Ze! What if we can ensure the safety of your family?"

"Xiang Shuai's hand cannot reach that long, right? Moreover, people like me, their family in Chang'an must be under strict surveillance." Liu Xinda said.

"Xiang Shuai's hand is indeed not that long, but I still can guarantee that Zhu Youzhen will not dare to touch your family at that time." Xiao Jing looked at Liu Xinda confidently and said slowly.

"What's the reason?" Liu Xinda asked.

"Because Sun Tonglin left Lingnan a few months ago." Xiao Jing said softly.

Liu Xinda looked at the other party in shock. Sun Tonglin is from Pinglu. A few years ago, she defected to Zhu Youzhen and even married his granddaughter to Zhu Youzhen as her concubine. Of course, she is now the imperial concubine of Daliang. Now Sun Tonglin is in a high position and power in the Chang'an court.

"You, have you been in a relationship long ago?" He stared at Xiao Jing in a daze.

"Everyone has the same goal, that is, to oppose Li Ze!" Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Since both of us are not as strong as Li Ze, then if we join forces, will we have a chance?"

"But now Li Ze is preparing to attack Daliang, but you are not sure that you will raise an army to attack Li Ze!" Liu Xinda said: "You are just using Daliang to weaken Li Ze's strength."

"Of course, Zhu Youzhen knew this very well, but he had no choice. As I said to you before, this is a life-saving straw, and he must catch it." Xiao Jing said lightly.

"So I said, you were not surrendering to Li Ze, but working with us. Zhu Youzhen would not dare to touch a hair of your family." Xiao Jing said.

"I want to know, what did you promise to His Majesty the Emperor? Let him trust you."

"In fact, there is only one thing." Xiao Jing said: "We told him that we would let Li Ze die when he attacked Chang'an."

"Your Majesty also believes it?"

"It's better to believe that it has than to believe that it has!" Xiao Jing said: "Actually, the current situation is very clear. Once Li Ze's troops launch a comprehensive general attack, the Liang army will definitely not be able to defend the land of Henan. Even if Tongguan can last, it is an unknown. If Li Ze dies at the most critical moment, then Zhu Youzhen will have a glimmer of life. Because once Li Ze dies, the Tang army will be in chaos. Where can I have any intention to attack Chang'an? I'm afraid I have to stabilize the internal situation first!"

Liu Xinda stood up and paced back and forth in the yard. After a while, he said: "Li Zeru dies, the Tang army in the north may have a great chaos. No, no, no, the world is going to be in chaos. Even though His Majesty the Emperor is only around Chang'an at this time, he has the opportunity to revive. At this time, it is undoubtedly that you, Xiang Shuai, will take the biggest advantage, from no chance to a great hope of competing for the world, right?"

"General Liu is indeed a smart person." Xiao Jing said: "Then do you think if Li Ze dies, will we hope to be great at that time? Or Zhu Youzhen's hope to be great? Or the people's congress of Li Ze in the north? Will the Tang army in the north be as united as it is now? Indeed, Li Ze has a son, and the generals who are loyal to him may continue to support his son to take office, but what about the other generals who are in charge of one side? For example, Li Cunzhong, Xue Chong, Tian Ping, etc.! Don't forget that in the northeast, there is Zhang Zhongwu! He hated Li Ze to the core, and he would inevitably come out of the northeast and join the chaos in the Central Plains."

"Let the world become chaotic again and become chaotic?" Liu Xinda murmured.
