Yecheng, Zhangshui.
A group of knights ran wildly along the shore. The sound of horse hooves was covered by the sound of rushing water. Many birds and beasts were startled in the bushes on the left. He pulled back his horse and the followers who followed him stopped immediately.
He Bacheng gasped for air and looked to the left and right to make sure there was no ambush. Then he slowly looked at his cronies. Some of these people seemed to have leaked secrets.
He was just about to deal with He Shikai when He Shikai sent someone to summon him. This frightened He Bacheng very much. When he realized that the matter had been revealed, he led everyone and fled through the back door with Qingqi after promising that he would go to see him.
, escaped from Yecheng all the way.
His family is still at the frontier, so there is nothing to worry about. And given his status, it is not difficult to get in and out of the city gate.
But what made him most uncomfortable was that among the personal followers in front of him, someone seemed to have betrayed him. Is it them or the people he had sent out? He Bacheng did not want to think so. He kept a straight face and said nothing.
hair.
The confidant asked: "Master, where are we going?!"
"He Shikai already knows that if he stays in Yecheng, he will die. My uncle will never offend He Shikai because of me."
He Bacheng began to analyze, "Let's go to Cheng'an first, see Lu Qubing, and ask about the situation, and then we can find a way to Shuozhou and make other plans!" He looked at everyone again, he wanted to ask face to face:
Who betrayed him and why?
He was silent for a moment and finally didn't ask any questions.
They rested for a while, then ran non-stop in the direction of Cheng'an again...
And inside the mansion.
He Shikai was sitting in the upper position with a gloomy face. Hearing the sergeants' complaints, his face became even more ugly. He Bacheng really ran away.
What these two people said is true!!
He Shikai gritted his teeth and looked at Zheng Daoqian who was standing aside, "Mr. Zheng, calculate their location for me. I'm going to send someone to kill them!"
Zheng Daoqian immediately began to perform the method. For such a simple calculation, it seemed that no magic weapon was needed. He just used his fingers and muttered something in his mouth. After a while, he said resolutely: "He ran to Cheng'an!"
He Shikai looked at the servant behind him, "Here comes someone!" Zhang Siyan laughed, "He Shikai, don't be anxious."
"How about it, do you believe what I say now? Are you still willing to cooperate with us?
He Shikai rubbed his hands and looked at Zheng Daoqian aside. Zheng Daoqian nodded slowly. He gritted his teeth and persuaded: "He Shikai, Liu Cangtou is a vicious thief. How did he insult you in the first place? Could it be that you are
Have you forgotten?
"Now that we have such strong support, isn't it the best opportunity to get rid of Liu Cangtou?" He Shikai looked at Zhang Siyan, "Okay, I agree."
"However, you must listen to me in everything... and you must monitor everything." "That's natural."
"You guys help me kill He Bacheng first..."
"He Gong, He Bacheng is an incompetent and mediocre person who is not worth mentioning. His uncle is the Taibao of the dynasty and comes from a distinguished family. You have no evidence now. If you want to kill him, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
He Shikai narrowed his eyes and said oh.
Zheng Daoqian on the side could see clearly that He Shikai had no intention of killing He Bacheng at all. Otherwise, when he sent people to summon him, he should have sent the soldiers there together. If not, he could have ambushed him at the city gate, but he
But he didn't do this. He just conducted a small test to let He Bacheng reveal his thoughts. What he said just now was another test of the other party.
He Shikai must know that the other party is Wei Xiaokuan's subordinate. He said he wanted to kill He Bacheng, but he was still testing. He wanted to see if the other party really came to kill Liu Taozi, or whether he was using himself to cause destruction and kill He Bacheng.
It's definitely not going to do much good for Heshi.
Zheng Daoqian cheered up again, but he must not relax. He was right not to interfere in He Bacheng's matter. Seeing He Shikai confiding in him, he didn't even know about the conspiracy between him and Cui Ang.
Affection!!
He Shikai asked again: "Then let He Bacheng go like this?"
Zhang Siyan said: "My lord, He Bacheng is not important. The first thing you have to do now is to send a confidant to lead the troops to Cheng'an and capture Lu Qubing and everyone in Zhangjiacun."
"These people are the most important to Liu Taozi. Bring them back to Yecheng and temporarily imprison them. Liu Taozi will not dare to commit murder, and the chance of winning will be 20%!" He Shikai shook his head, "Liu Taozi
Taozi doesn't care about the life or death of these people at all, he doesn't even care about the life or death of his grandfather."
"No, Liu Taozi cares about it very much. It's because he cares so much that he pretends to ignore it. His cronies in Cheng'an frequently contact him, but he never replies or sends anyone to contact him.
This is all to protect Cheng An's cronies."
"It can be said that the other cronies are Lu Qubing, who is Liu Taozi's confidant! Now he is in Cheng'an, which is closest to Yecheng. He is winning people's hearts in Cheng'an, recruiting troops, and has close contacts with the frontiers. If anything happens,
, he can arrive at Yecheng within half a day."
He Shikai pursed his lips and said, "Maybe you don't know that I am not the one who has the final say in this temple, nor is His Majesty the only one who has the final say."
I can't kill him because I have done this for him."
Zhang Siyan slowly sat aside and said calmly: "I heard that Gao Guiyan was still imprisoned in Yecheng. Lu Qubing seemed to be recommended by Gao Guiyan?" He Shikai's eyes lit up, "
If it involves treason...or fails to report the information, then Gao will not be able to protect him."
"You drove Lu Cha, Wang Xi, Cui Jishu and others out of the center earlier, which is very good. Although there is Gao Jun in the temple, Gao Jun has almost no contact with Liu Taozi, and no one is helping Liu Taozi, so we will
You can defeat them one by one."
"Liu Taozi is far more harmful than Yang Zhong."
"In terms of military affairs, Yang Zhong will teach him, and in terms of government affairs, you have to teach him." "It's best to overwhelm him and make both of you lose."
"Those who are close to Liu Taozi in the temple must be temporarily suppressed!"
He Shikai said quietly: "Liu Taozi is very powerful. Duan Shao, Lou Rui, Hu Luguang, Hu Lvxian, Gao Changgong, and Gao Yanzong are all very close to him and it is difficult to take action." "I previously suggested that Gao Ana
When Gong led his troops to go, Duan Shao directly asked Gao Changgong to be his deputy general. Gao Changgong is the king of the princes, how can Gao Anagong suppress him?!" "This matter is not easy to handle."
"Hegong is confused."
Zhang Siyan said with a smile: "Duan Shao, Lou Rui and others can be sent to Pingyang to let them beware of the strong enemies there. Hu Luguang is in charge of Bingzhou. He has never interfered in government affairs, so there is no need to worry. As for Gao Changgong and Gao Yanzong, they
He is just a brat, and he can only use his identity as a vassal king to exert authority and blessing. To suppress them, all we need to do is send a vassal king who is close to Liu Taozi but not close to Liu Taozi."
"Boling King Gao Ji is in Dingzhou now. He can be asked to lead people to meet Gao Anahu. With him in charge, why should Gao Changgong and Gao Yanzong be afraid?" He Shikai licked his lips, "Boling King..."
This Boling King Gao Ji is the twelfth son of Emperor Shenwu. He is different from Gao Yan and Gao Jun. The main reason is that he is the son of the Queen Mother Lou. For this reason, he and Gao Zhan are excellent allies and have a close relationship.
Those guys who have the same father but different mothers are much closer. This suggestion given by the other party made He Shikai very excited, but he was a little worried that King Boling could not suppress Gao Changgong and others.
This Boling King Gao Ji is not in a very stable mental state.
In the past, when Emperor Wenxuan was still there, he went out to fight with Emperor Wenxuan. Halfway there, he vaguely saw the figure of his mother. He missed him so much that he ran away. Emperor Wenxuan was furious and took out a knife to kill him. From then on
, Gao Ji was in a trance from time to time, and he went to many famous doctors, but he couldn't be cured.
However, there were not many princes and kings who were close to the emperor at the moment. He Shikai gritted his teeth and agreed with the other party's idea. Let him suppress Gao Changgong!
He Shikai added: "It's easy to talk about the generals, but the biggest problem is, what should we do?" "Who will suppress Gao Jun? Or how to drive him away? Depose him?"
Zhang Siyan recalled the general's explanation in the letter, "If there is no way to drive him away, wouldn't it be better if He Gong took His Majesty away and left him in Yecheng?" He Shikai stood up suddenly, "What do you mean?
yes?"
"Your Majesty led some of his cronies to Jinyang, leaving the senior officials in Yecheng to take charge, and then he could deal with Liu Taozi without reservation. Zheng Daoqian sat aside, sweating profusely.
He Shikai walked out of the mansion and drove hurriedly to Gao Guiyan's mansion.
Gao Guidu's lively mansion has not changed at all from the outside, with tall courtyard walls, splendid buildings with golden walls, and lush parapet forests. Soldiers holding weapons patrolled back and forth around the courtyard walls.
The monk drove directly into the mansion.
The formerly lively mansion became extremely quiet at this moment. No one could be seen inside, and everything was quiet. Occasionally, there were soldiers walking back and forth, and their armors clashed, making the atmosphere in the mansion even more solemn.
He Shikai, led by the soldier, walked toward the backyard. The further inside, the more he felt the desolate, luxurious but deserted mansion.
The soldier opened the door, and Shikai walked into the house.
Gao Guiyan was sitting on the bed. There were two soldiers staring at him at the door. Gao Guiyan was not tied up and was still staying in his house. However, he looked haggard and looked particularly downcast.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his head suddenly.
The monk smiled and bowed before him, "Greetings to the king." "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see your Majesty. Your Majesty asked me to ask you why you want to rebel?"
Gao Guiyan shuddered, and he quickly stood up and defended: "I have never rebelled, it's just because villains like Gao Yuanhai are above me, so something like this happened. If His Majesty asked Gao Rui to come, how could I do it?
What about raising an army?"
He Shikai nodded, "Your Majesty, I have a good thing to do now." "If Your Majesty is willing to help me, I am also willing to help Your Majesty." "Oh?"
"I heard that when the king raised an army, he wrote to Cheng'an to ask Lu Qubing to help him, and he agreed to help you. Is this the case?" He Shikai looked at Gao Guiyan. Gao Guiyan
Immediate realization.
At this moment, Gao Guiyan frowned and looked dazed.
Or for a moment, he thought of leading troops to defeat powerful enemies, of being high-spirited and guiding the country...
Looking at Gao Guidu who fell silent, He Shi said with a smile: "It's just a small favor, it's just a matter of your words, and what you are facing now is just a matter of my words."
Gao Guiyan clenched his fist several times and unclenched it several times.
He slowly raised his head, his lips were trembling, his eyes became particularly sharp, and his whole body that had been curled up stretched out. "I am different from you Qihu... I am the Great Qiping King of Qin.
I will pay tribute to the general with military honors...I will not survive by murdering others..."
He Shikai saw deep contempt for himself in his eyes.
He raised his head and laughed, "I was really wasting my time. How about a letter for this kind of thing? I came here specifically to find you. I wanted to save your life, but I never thought that your Majesty would be so courageous."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I won't forget to sacrifice to the king next year!" He Shikai stood up and left with disdain.
It doesn't matter what Gao Guiyan says. Anyway, he has met and he has the final say. If it doesn't work, just find a letter they exchanged. Then he has to go to the emperor and start implementing Wei Xiaokuan's many suggestions.
The first one is to catch Lu Qubing and those people from Zhangjiacun, Cheng An.
A group of knights hurriedly came under the city wall.
The leader held a sword in his hand and stared angrily, followed by more than a hundred light cavalry, all in light armor.
The soldiers at the city gate were horrified. When they saw the battle, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground and did not dare to move. The group of people rushed directly into the city. There were many human heads hanging on the wall, bloody, and they were blowing in the wind at this moment.
Wandering, watching these light cavalry rush into the city.
For a time, Cheng'an was in chaos, and the originally peaceful and peaceful atmosphere was violently interrupted by these knights.
The traders fled in all directions, and the people mourned. They did not slow down, and just rushed all the way. If anyone blocked the road, they would be killed under the hooves of horses. They rushed to the government office.
They reined in their horses and stopped in front of the official office. The angel stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Cheng'an ordered Lu to go to the sick and come out quickly to receive the order!" The official office was already in chaos.
The envoy waited for a while, and Lu Qubing quickly led everyone out of the official office. After walking out of the official office, Lu Qubing looked towards the official road.
There were many corpses lying in the distance, and the blood stains on the ground extended all the way. Lu Qubing didn't know where it could extend. His face instantly turned livid.
The messenger was equally angry. He raised the sword in his hand again and said, "Lu Qubing!! I am Wang Songzhi of Huangmen. I hold the Emperor's Festival in my hand. Why don't you bow down when you see the festival?!" Lu Qubing put away his anger and looked at Wang Songzhi calmly.
, and gave a great ceremony.
Wang Songzhi did not even produce the edict. He loudly said to Lu Qubing: "Someone has revealed that Gao Guiyan wrote to you, asking you to help him rebel!!" "Your Majesty has an order! Capture Lu Qubing immediately and bring him back."
Yecheng interrogates the truth and the truth!"
Lu Qubing then raised his head, "I wonder who exposed it?" Wang Songzhi raised his head slightly, "This has nothing to do with you."
He had some grudges with Lu Qubing. When Lu Qubing was serving as the imperial censor, he had impeached him for accepting bribes, which almost caused Wang Songzhi to be killed. Fortunately, he later defected to He Shikai, and he got another chance to stand out.
But now, he is holding the Emperor's Day, but he can take revenge in an honest way. Let you harm me again!
Look how I torture you along the way!! Wang Songzhi’s eyes were full of pride.
The knights on his left and right dismounted and came up to capture Lu Qubing.
At this moment, Lu Qubing suddenly drew out his long sword and threw it at Wang Song, "Pfft~~"
The long sword immediately pierced Wang Songzhi's chest.
Wang Songzhi covered his chest and looked at Lu Qubing in front of him in disbelief. He raised the sword in his hand and wanted to say something, but fell to the ground. "The thief is falsely passing on the imperial edict! Capture the spy of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty!!"
Lu Qubing shouted loudly, and the next moment, a large group of soldiers rushed out of the official office. He Bacheng led these people and collided directly with the light cavalry in front. The Cheng'an soldiers were different from the soldiers in other places.
, they are much more elite, but the light cavalry in front of them obviously do not have any advantage in street fighting. The soldiers overthrew these cavalry almost instantly.
They never thought that they would dare to directly kill the officials and rebel. Some people wanted to escape, but cavalry came from three intersections to outflank them. After a while, the light cavalry of more than a hundred people were either dead or surrendered.
He Bacheng wiped the blood on his face and walked quickly to Lu Qubing's side. He was trembling all over.
They had just killed the envoy who held the Emperor's Festival, and the crime was not much lighter than Gao Guiyan's. The way he looked at Lu Qubing seemed a bit wrong.
After He Bacheng arrived in Da'an, Lu Qubing conspired with him. Lu Qubing made a quick decision, thinking that the emperor and General Anxi could no longer live in harmony, and immediately deceived Wei Cheng'an and the county magistrate sent by Gao Zhan into the mansion.
, kill directly.
He Bacheng had heard the name of Lu Qubing many times, and they all said that he was kind-hearted and generous. Only after meeting him did he realize that these were all lies!!
The speed with which you act is called swiftness, and the way you act is called cruelty! How can you say that this is the style of a benevolent person?
Lu Qubing looked at He Bacheng and said, "Mr. He Bacheng, I have sent people to prepare everyone. General Anxi and his family members are all gathered at the south city gate. You can take them to take a detour... This
It’s a map.”
"It's impossible to take them to Shuozhou. Many of them are old people and Shuozhou is too far away." "You take them to Liyang. There is a village there, which is empty and has no living people."
"I sent someone to contact Liyang Governor Shi Yao. That Shi Yao is one of our own. General Anxi has praised him many times and is trustworthy... Just protect them and hide in Liyang. Don't act rashly. Wait.
News from our side."
He Bacheng frowned, "Why don't you go with me? If you kill the angel, you will only die if you stay." Lu Qubing shook his head, "I won't leave, I have big things to do."
Chapter completed!
