Shou County.

Many feudal nobles gathered together, and at this time, the six monarchs at the top smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I have good news for you here.

Not long ago, we sent envoys to contact the nobles everywhere to report back, and the nobles everywhere expressed their dissatisfaction with the king's favor and traitors, their dissatisfaction with the new law, their worries about the future, and their sympathy for us.

Although in the face of the king's strong demands, they had to respect the king's request and send troops to follow the king to quell the rebellion, but at the same time, they also promised our envoys that although they would participate in the battle when they came to Jianghuai to fight this time, they would not really fight with us, but they would just work and do not contribute to the king's work. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the nobles in the main hall of the Shou County Palace smiled.

At this time, Qu Yangjun said with a smile: "Gentlemen, according to the news of Yingdu Neiying, the number of the army of the Great King Jianghuai to quell the rebellion this time is 300,000, of which the private army of the nobles accounts for one-third.

In other words, the war has not yet begun, and there are only 200,000 left of the 300,000 army in the hands of the king. And there were 100,000 troops among them, which the king broke his promise and forcibly recruited them after promising the people to cultivate. This part of the soldiers is full of dissatisfaction with the king in their hearts, these troops, it would be good if the power of the ten pavilions could exert five pavilions.

In this way, the king's army of 300,000 is now only 150,000. ”

"Aha..." Jun laughed and said: "Our current army in Shou County already has 300,000 people, counting Huaiyin and Guangling, we now have a full 400,000 army."

If the king comes, we will be able to pacify the Chu State in a battle and return the Chu State to its old customs. At that time, we were the heroes of the rebuilding of the Chu State! ”

"Hahaha..." When everyone heard this, their hearts, which were still a little nervous, suddenly relaxed, and then they all started laughing.

"Ladies and gentlemen." In the midst of everyone's laughter, Long Shujun said with a smile: "Although those nobles who participated in the war have promised us, although they also think that they are very dissatisfied with the new law of the Great King, they should not deceive us. However, in order to avoid anyone taking chances, we want to use our heads to build merit.

Therefore, in my opinion, we still need to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, kill the chickens and monkeys, and scare them, so as to dispel their luck. ”

"Not bad." Shu Yongjun echoed: "The world is so big, there are no surprises. Since there will be people like Qu Yuan who forget their ancestors among the three clans of Zhaojing Qu, it is difficult to guarantee that some of those nobles will deliberately deceive us. ”

"Well, Long Shujun has a point." Liujun nodded, then looked at Long Shujun and asked, "I don't know how Long Shujun plans to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and how to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey." ”

Long Shujun responded: "Six monarchs, Quyang monarchs, all monarchs, although we have already become famous in Jianghuai, many feudal lords and nobles have raised troops to respond, even if there is no response, there are many people who secretly contribute money and food to support us, but among Jianghuai, there are still many people who are scolding us for being chaotic ministers and thieves." ”

Saying that, Long Shujun's face turned cold: "These people, continuing to stay in Jianghuai, have greatly affected our morale. So, I propose to send troops to get rid of these people. One strengthens my prestige, and the other intimidates others. ”

"Good." When Liujun heard this, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes: "Before, after Ben conquered Shou County, I wanted to invite Liao Jun and Lu Jun to raise troops to save Chu State. As a result, Lu Jun, a thief, not only scolded the envoy sent by Ben Jiang, but also directly expelled Ben Jiang's envoy.

What's more, what is even more excessive is that the thieves of Lu Jun are shouting everywhere that our righteous army will be defeated, and everywhere they are inciting others to unite against us.

Such thieves are a great evil to the country, and it is difficult to remove the hatred in my heart if I do not get rid of them. ”

After that, the six monarchs said with a firm face: "Later, this general will personally lead an army of 100,000 to the six places, and level Lucheng in one fell swoop. ”

As soon as Liujun's voice fell, Qu Yangjun also spoke: "Yes, it's changing." Zhonglijun was persecuted by the king before, and he should have worked together with us, but after he heard that we had raised troops, not only did he not respond, but also raised troops in Zhongli City to fight against the volunteers, and echoed with the son of Prince Zhen of Song in the north, and cut off the waterway between my Shou County and Huaiyin many times.

Zhongli is located in the critical place of my confidants, and there is the son of Huaibei to help, if this thief is not removed, it will become a problem for our henchmen. The general will lead an army of 150,000 to pacify Zhongli tomorrow and completely open up the connection between Shou County and Huaiyin. ”

When they agreed, they immediately sent troops.

After a while, everyone left, and only Liujun, Qu Yangjun, and Long Shujun were left in the hall.

At this time, the sixth monarch took out the secret letter signed by the plaintiff and said: "Two, the previous doctor from Sanlu sent a letter saying that Yingdu sent a large number of envoys to secretly contact us and these rebels. ”

After speaking, Liujun looked at Qu Yangjun and Long Shujun intentionally or unintentionally.

Qu Yangjun and the two saw Liujun's eyes, their faces changed slightly, and then, after the two noticed the change in each other's faces, their hearts sank at the same time.

Not long ago, their friends in Yingdu also sent someone to contact them, originally they thought that Yingdu was just sending someone to contact them, but now it seems that Yingdu has contacted all the nobles.

This... How many people will be moved by the great benefits promised by the king, how many will be succumbed to the king's divine might, or how many people who will be loyal to the king will be sent by the king to invade our army?

Thinking about it, Qu Yangjun and Long Shujun's faces became ugly.

At this time, Liujun saw that the faces of the two of them had changed, so he continued: "After receiving the secret letter from Doctor Sanlu, Zai sent scouts to observe the movements of the nobles in Shou County. As a result, sure enough, all the nobles in Shou County had contact with a group of strangers.

As for the nobles who are not in Shou County, let alone that. ”

Saying that, the six monarchs frowned and said: "Now that the nobles of the rebel soldiers and those loyal to the king are mixed up, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, I don't know if the two of you can do anything?" ”

Long Shujun thought for a while, and immediately spoke: "It is obviously difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, but it is not difficult to make it impossible for the spies to disturb us. ”

"What can Long Shujun do?" Liujun asked in surprise.

Long Shujun smiled confidently and said, "Two, although most of the nobles are difficult for us to distinguish, there is still no need to doubt the eighteen nobles who took the lead in the incident. ”

"Not bad." Qu Yangjun nodded and said, "If there are traitors among the eighteen of us, then when we capture the three places of Shou County, we will already fail." ”

Liujun nodded in approval.

"Well, since there is no doubt about the eighteen of us, then we can divide the righteous army into three armies, left, center, and right, among them, the private army of our sixteen nobles, as well as the county soldiers recruited from various counties, form the middle army, so that the Chinese army can be sure that there is no spy of the king.

As for the left and right armies, let the other noble private soldiers be composed of the remaining private soldiers selected by us, and we only need to lead one army each of Dongcheng Jun and Xianjun. ”

Saying that, Long Shujun said with a smile: "The king's army is also difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and the number of the king's army is far inferior to ours. ”

"Good way." When Liujun heard this, his body and mind were immediately relieved, and the problem he hadn't figured out for two days was solved by Long Shujun in an instant.

"And." Long Shujun continued: "In order to prevent the people sent by the king from continuing to contact the nobles, we need to immediately take military control over Shou County, block the city gate, enlist all people into the army, delineate the scope of action, and act together with the whole army.

In this way, the spy will not be able to move and leave the city, which will greatly hinder the communication between the nobles and the spies. ”

When Liujun heard this, he pondered, nodded and said, "Good, tomorrow I will lead the army with Quyangjun to go on an expedition, and the matter of Shou County will be handed over to Long Shujun to deal with." ”

"Good."
