The World Hero 26, The World Hero Chapter 26 Big Fish Dead

The southern city of Youzhou City is the core city of Youzhou. In the deep city, there are 300 soldiers guarding here every day. On average, there are shifts every three hours. At noon, another shift starts.

A team of 300 soldiers came in line under the leadership of a regiment leader. The regiment leader rode a strong white war horse. He was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a leopard-eyed lion nose, burly figure, extremely wide shoulders, and holding a good horse spear in his hand. It can be seen that the officer was very skilled in martial arts. This man was named Luo Yi, from Xiangyang. He was born in the army for five years and was promoted to the regiment leader.

He was the commander of the South City at noon. Soon, his army changed squads, the soldiers were on duty, and he himself prepared to go to the city to inspect.

"Master Luo Group!"

Someone was calling him, and Luo Yi turned around and saw that he was a man who looked like a businessman. He had never seen him before, so he asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with me?"

The merchant bowed to him and smiled, "I am from Jiang, a native of Jinyang. I have something important to discuss with the leader of Luo Tuan."

Seeing that he was calm and not like the kind of businessman with a slutty head, Luo Yi nodded and said, "Let's talk to the city!"

He urged the war horse, rushed up the horse road, and ran towards the city. After a moment, he brought the merchant named Jiang into the room where the officer was resting, but the merchant closed the mén with a squeak.

Luo Yi seemed to understand something in his heart, and he sat down and said without saying a word: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

The merchant took out two ingots of gold from the bag, one ingot was about twenty-five taels, a total of fifty taels of gold, and placed it in front of Luo Yi without saying a word.

Ordinary merchants often give small favors to the city defenders. Luo Yi knew that he didn't ask, but no one gave him fifty taels of gold. This was not an ordinary bribe, and it was obviously a big plan. Luo Yi suddenly became suspicious and stared at the man and asked sternly: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The merchant bowed his hands and smiled and said, "It's true that I am the one who is under Han Zhiguo, the chief administrator of the Han Wangfu, who is named Jiang Wuzhi, who is temporarily living at the Langhuocheng Station. I heard that General Luo is on duty tonight. Han Cangcao wants to ask General Luo for something."

Luo Yi looked at him coldly for a while, and then asked slowly: "Tell me! What's the matter?"

Jiang Wuzhi lowered his voice and said, "At the second update tonight, we want to enter the city. Please give General Luo some convenience. After the matter is completed, give another fifty taels of gold."

Luo Yi looked at the two yellow ingots of gold, and his eyes gradually narrowed. What does it mean to be 'after things are accomplished', what do they want to do?

...........

In the general administration, Shao Wen was persuading Dou Kang. Shao Wen had been an aide to Dou Kang for several years and was the person Dou Kang trusted the most. He knew Dou Kang's temper very well. He knew that he was suspicious and had soft ears and had no opinion.

"I asked a friend who had worked in the Han Palace last night. He told me that Han Zhiguo, the garrison, had such a person, but he was not valued at all. Moreover, this person was beaten to a hundred military sticks last year for stealing the warehouse. He was dismissed from his post. How could he become a garrison again? He was sent to perform such an important task, so I think this is possible?"

Dou Kang understood a little, "You mean, this Cangcao Han Zhiguo is fake?"

"Maybe people are real, but the mission is fake. My subordinates speculate that since he is a warehouse manager, he must be very familiar with Yang Liang's situation. He was beaten and dismissed, and he was resentful in his heart. He was likely to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. This time he pretended to be the envoy of the King of Han to Youzhou. I dare to conclude that he was just to capture the envoy."

Shao Wen's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which made Dou Kang a little convinced, but he became suspicious. He still didn't want to act rashly before he got the real evidence.

"This... let me think about it again."

Shao Wen was very clear about Dou Kang's doubts. He had already made arrangements. Since Dou Kang had already been persuaded, the next step was to rely on the truth.

At this moment, a personal guard reported to him, "Report to the general manager, the southern guard Luo Yi asked for a meeting and said that there was an urgent matter."

A trace of undetectable pride flashed in Shao Wen's eyes. As expected, Luo Yi came to report the news. Dou Kang frowned, "Send him in!"

After a moment, Luo Yi quickly walked into the room, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I am not good at Luo Yi, see General Manager."

"What's the urgent matter?"

Luo Yi took out a ingot of gold and placed it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "This is a secret sent by Han Zhiguo, the warehouse manager of the Han Wang General Administration, who sent his subordinates to the Beiye. Beiye did not dare to injure his duties, so he reported it to the Chief Executive."

Dou Kang saw that the ingot of gold was twenty-five taels, which was not a small amount. He was shocked and asked quickly: "What are they doing for you gold?"

"Tonight is a low-ranking job on the southern city. They want to enter the city at midnight and ask me for a convenience."

Dou Kang was stunned. He slowly sat down. The fire of anger began to burn from the depths of his heart. He entered the city in the middle of the night. His purpose was self-evident.

If Shao Wen's persuasion was filled with tinder oil in Dou Kang's heart, then Luo Yi's timely report was a fire that ignites the tinder oil. The fire of anger began to burn and could no longer calm down.

Dou Kang stood up and shouted sternly: "Come here!"

When a personal guard entered, Dou Kang threw an arrow, "I ordered He Lanyi to lead 5,000 troops and immediately surrounded the Luanhuocheng Station. Everyone arrested him. If there is any resistance, he will be killed!"

.........

The order to arrest people was issued, and Luo Yi also stepped down. Dou Kang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. The anger in his heart was far from calming down. His anger was no longer directed at the person who came to arrest him, but at the newly ascended emperor Yang Guang.

He did not agree to Yang Liang's involvement in the rebellion, but Yang Guang did not believe him and sent someone to arrest him. Since that is the case, is it necessary for him to be loyal to Yang Guang? He also wants to rebel and support Yang Liang.

Dou Kang's face turned red and his eyes were filled with anger. Shao Wen pondered his thoughts carefully. He knew how to let Dou Kang listen to his words.

"Please calm down your anger, and do not lose your mind, and do not make big mistakes for a moment of anger."

Dou Kang slowly calmed down, and he nodded and asked, "In the opinion of sir, what should I do now?"

"What does the subordinate mean? It is still to follow the original strategy, neither help the King of Han nor favor the court, and to remain neutral. But to do things well, the emperor should pay special attention to some details."

"What specific details are there?" Dou Kang asked again.

"First of all, the people sent by the Lord to capture the envoys, they should not be killed, they can be placed under house arrest, and they should be released after the matter is over. They should not really annoy them, and then the people of the King of Han. They should be more careful to deal with it, and they must give them enough face, and they should not let the Zhongguan go back and say bad things about the envoys."

"You mean to let me meet them?"

Shao Wen nodded, "This is a must. Yesterday the envoys did not allow them to enter the city. In fact, it was very rude. Those middle-aged officials usually live in luxury and have suffered such grievances, especially if the envoys want to remain neutral, then the etiquette must be comprehensive and take a low attitude to meet the envoys. This will allow the King of Han to feel the envoys' sincerity. As for whether the envoys really sent troops, he didn't care. His subordinates thought that this was a very cost-effective transaction with small profits and could not be delayed. It would be best to go now."

Dou Kang was a soft-headed person and had no opinion. In addition, Shao Wen said it very well, so he nodded and agreed. "Okay! I'll go and be a low-key and apologize to them."

...........

Li Xiong never dreamed that Dou Kang had really sent Mén to him, and only brought five hundred personal guards. This made him admire Yang Yuanqing's methods. Yang Yuanqing did not enter the city. Did Dou Kang just send Mén to him obediently?

He was moved and began to prepare for the plan to incorporate the Youzhou Army, but at the same time he discovered a strange phenomenon. Dou Kang had already arrived at the door, but Yang Yuanqing was not seen.

Not only Li Xiong was surprised, Su Lie was also a little uneasy. He quickly walked into Yang Yuanqing's room and saw Yang Yuanqing sitting in the room reading leisurely. He couldn't help but hurriedly said: "General Yang, Dou Kang has been waiting outside for a quarter of an hour. If he doesn't see him again, he will leave in anger, and it will be too late to regret it."

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, and saw that he was anxious, so he put down the book and smiled: "Don't worry, since he has come, he will not leave. I want him to come in willingly and beg me."

Su Lie had to smile bitterly. He found that his concentration was indeed a bit lacking. Didn’t Yang Yuanqing know the importance of opportunity? But he was not anxious at all, calm and confident, and the gap between them was not as simple as a little bit.

Su Lie was silent for a moment and asked again: "General, the aide named Shao seems to be quite strategic. Does the general want to use him?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head slowly, "I won't use him if I blame the Lord for glory."

"But that kind of person also gave him a hundred taels of gold. Isn't it too cheap for him?"

Yang Yuanqing glanced at Su Lie and smiled faintly, "If I regret it, who will do things for me in the future? Shao Wen is begging for wealth, so naturally some Dou family members will deal with him. There is no need to worry about it. It's just a hundred taels of gold. If you can catch Dou Kang, this little money is nothing."

...........

Outside the post station, Dou Kang had been standing for half an hour. He was extremely angry. The other party refused to see him because of his physical discomfort and asked him to wait for a while. This was obviously a revenge on his revenge that he would not let them enter the city yesterday. Although Dou Kang was so angry that he had already scolded the eunuch Ma Shenjun's eighteen generation ancestors, he knew that he could not leave in anger. If he left in anger, he would offend the eunuch completely. He had to stand outside the mansion and wait patiently.

The five hundred personal soldiers not far behind him all followed and scolded the eunuch for being arrogant. Even Shao Wen was so nervous that he almost collapsed. He begged Yang Yuanqing in his heart, "Living immortal! If you want to catch people, hurry up! The fish have already taken the bait."

Dou Kang stood sore and soft that he could no longer help but said to the official secretary: "You go in and report it again, and I will say that I, Dou Kang, have offended me, will definitely make a lot of compensation."

The official secretary ran in again and ran out for a moment and said, "Master Dou, Master Ma Zhongguan invites you in."

Dou Kang suddenly understood why the other party refused to see him. It turned out that the other party wanted money! He had money, and it was easy to ask for money.

It was originally the middle-level official Ma Shenjun who welcomed him, but after Ma Shenjun put a fight, Dou Kang naturally felt that it was already good for the other party to see him, so he could not expect him to come out to welcome him. For his personal soldiers, they only felt that the other party was too arrogant, but none of them realized that their manager had actually walked into the dragon's tiger.

Accompanied by Shao Wen, Dou Kang quickly walked into the post station. Dou Kang thought in his mind that it would be the most appropriate gift to give. Wang Yicheng kept leading him into a courtyard. Two shì guards stood in the courtyard, standing straight like two statues.

"Eunuch Ma, General Manager Dou is here!" Wang Yicheng reported.

"Come in!" A high-pitched and arrogant voice from the eunuch came from the room.

Dou Kang cursed inwardly and had to go into the room with a thorn in the air. As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned. There were no eunuchs in the room, and there was a young officer sitting opposite him, looking at him with a smile.

Before Dou Kang could react, four big men suddenly rushed out from behind him and pressed him to the ground. One big man stuffed the linen he had prepared into his mouth.

Dou Kang suddenly understood. He looked at Yang Yuanqing in horror. Yang Yuanqing took out the handwriting given to him by Yang Guang and read it loudly: "Dou Kang, the general of Youzhou, was suspected of colluding with the King of Han to rebel. He ordered the general Yang Yuanqing to go to Youzhou to arrest Dou Kang and enter Beijing. The governor of Lanzhou, Li Xiong, temporarily took over the Youzhou general."
