He Feng said with a smile: "Brother Highway, you have taken the benefits of others, of course you have to help others." I really didn't expect that on this trip to Jizhou, you would make a fortune. ”

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "Look carefully, this money is not what I stretched out my hand to ask them for, it is what they want to give." Wang Fen gave me money, why don't I? Isn't it just that, we're going to do it anyway. ”

"He Sima wrote to us and told us to listen to Xu Yu's arrangement." He Feng said, "Look at Zhou Jinglai, did he bring news of Xu You?" ”

"Almost." Yuan Shu nodded and said, "In the past so many days, the matter of the Xiangyu Mountain camp should also be resolved. ”

Zhou Jing looked very tired, and his chubby round face was full of nervousness. As soon as he sat down, he immediately said to Yuan Shu: "My lord, Li Hong and his subordinate Yan Liang have fornicated with the Yellow Turban Ant Thief, and they may want to plot against them. ”

"Li Hong and Yan Liang fornicated with the Yellow Turban Ant Thief? Li Hong plotted against him? Yuan Shu asked suspiciously, "Do you have conclusive evidence?" ”

"Of course." Zhou Jing immediately talked endlessly, and then said, "Your Majesty is about to leave for your hometown to worship your ancestors, at this time, you must not make mistakes, otherwise everyone will lose their heads." ”

Yuan Shu and He Feng exchanged a knowing look, smiling without saying a word.

Zhou Jing continued: "The meaning of Lord Assassin Shi is to hope that the Lord can capture Li Hong within three days and kill all the black panther servants to ensure His Majesty's safety. ”

"What about Yan Liang in the Xiangyu Mountain camp?" He Feng asked, "There are two thousand black panther servants in the camp, and the strength is very strong, can you deal with it?" ”

"Killing those barbarians is not a matter of being captured." Zhou Jing pursed his lips disdainfully, looked at Yuan Shu and said, "As long as the adults can arrest Li Hong, this merit will naturally belong to the captain." ”

Yuan Shu hesitated, hummed there and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Last time, Lord Captain helped me, and Lord Thorn Shi was very grateful, and I brought all the things I promised to Lord Captain." Zhou Jing said, "If it succeeds this time, the captain will definitely gain fame and fortune." ”

Yuan Shu's spirits were lifted, and he smiled happily: "Thank you Lord Thorn Shi on my behalf." Since Li Hong is plotting against him and intends to harm His Majesty, he is a heinous criminal, and we must not only arrest him, but also arrest him immediately. I think so, Changshui Camp has just entered the city, and he is not familiar with the place, and many things must be helped by the Xindu Mansion, Lord Zhou ......"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we have already completed all the affairs of Xindu, and we will wait for the order of the captain." Zhou Jing hurriedly replied, "Without further ado, it's better for adults to act early, lest the matter leak and be counterattacked by Li Hong." ”

Yuan Shu smiled: "He is so many, it's not enough for us to kill, what are you nervous about?" ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Li Hong arrived at the county governor of Anping in the afternoon, and Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui, and Tian Feng led a group of government officials to go out of the city to greet him.

Xindu Ling Tian Feng is in his thirties, medium build, wide forehead, high nose bridge, long beard, a pair of bright eyes, although his appearance is not handsome, but he has a Confucian elegance and stability.

After the two sides met and exchanged pleasantries, Tian Feng invited Li Hong to lead the army into the city, Li Hong smiled and shook his hand: "Thank you Lord Tian for your kindness, almost all of my subordinates are foreign soldiers, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I still stationed outside the city." ”

Yuan Shu, who was standing next to him, suddenly smiled, and his heart beat violently. He hurriedly slapped his face with his hand to hide the panic in his heart. Could it be that Li Hong found something? Did he ask me to take 500 people into the city first to arrange a resting place? Why didn't he go into town?

Yuan Shu quickly glanced at the five military commanders of the Changshui Battalion out of the corner of his eye. They stood with Li Hong's subordinates, talking and laughing, and did not see anything unusual. Yuan Shu's nervous mood calmed down a little, and he immediately smiled at Li Hong: "Didn't your lord say that he was going to enter the city in the morning?" Why did you change your mind again? The weather has been cold for the past two days, and the wind is strong outside the city, so let's go into the city. ”

"I suddenly received news from the country between the rivers that His Majesty's temporary palace has not yet been built." Li Hong's face sank, and he said loudly, "Tomorrow morning, we will go directly to Hejian Country, and don't stop on the way." He paused, looked at Tian Feng, and said coldly, "If this matter is true, then the Jizhou Mansion will go up to Wang Fen and down to Peng Shi, and wait for death." ”

Yuan Shu suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly smiled: "The information that adults get may not be accurate, so there is no need to be angry." I think it's better to go into the city, Lord Tian of Xindu is kindly invited, and we can't wipe the master's face too much. ”

Li Hong shook his head and said resolutely: "Don't go to the city, thank you Lord Tian for your kindness, even if the official is rude." ”

Tian Feng bowed unhurriedly and said with a smile: "My lord, the matter of Hejian Country must be misinformation. ”

Li Hong glanced at him in surprise and asked, "What is the conclusive evidence of Lord Tian?" ”

"Exactly." Tian Feng said with a smile, "The adults will go to the city to rest for a while, and then the lower officials will report the details to the adults." ”

Li Hong stared at Tian Feng for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, enter the city." ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and secretly let out a long breath, but then he was choked by Li Hong's next sentence.

"Order the tribes and camp outside the city." Li Hong turned around and shouted to the herald, then he turned to face Yuan Shu and asked with a smile, "Brother Highway's Changshui camp is also camped outside the city, anyway, I have to leave tomorrow morning, there is no need to toss back and forth in the city and outside the city, wasting time." What do you see? ”

Li Hong said all the words, how could Yuan Shu open his mouth to oppose it in front of everyone, he scolded in his stomach, but he was smiling on his face, and kept saying kind words in his mouth: "The adult is the master, the adult is the master." ”

Li Hong smiled: "Then thank you Brother Highway." He then said to a group of subordinates standing beside him, "Zifeng, you and your brothers are camped outside the city. Zilong, bring a hundred righteous followers into the city with me. ”

"A few adults from the Changshui camp, are you also going into the city with us to rest?" Li Hong pointed to several military horses in the Changshui camp and asked Yuan Shudao with a smile.

Yuan Shu was obviously a little caught off guard by Li Hong's improvised scheme, and he hesitated.

He served as the captain of Changshui for a short time, that is, after the cavalry of the Changshui battalion returned from Xiliang. He also rarely went to the barracks, and he could even count how many times he entered the camp of the Changshui Camp. Except for the fact that he was familiar with the five military horses of the Changshui Battalion, he didn't know anyone else. To put it bluntly, he did not have any prestige in the eyes of the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion.

The captains of the five major battalions of the Northern Army have always received the attention of the imperial court because of their prominent military positions, and the people who serve as captains are like marquees, and they have to change several times a year, so the soldiers only know the military Sima of the unified army, and as for the captains of their own army, the soldiers regard them as air, yes, but they can't see or touch them.

This time, the Changshui camp was designated by the Son of Heaven to go out with Li Hong to patrol Jizhou, and many people in the court believed that this was a deliberate arrangement by the Son of Heaven. The reason is very simple, the soldiers of the Changshui battalion have been fighting in Xiliang for the past two years, of course the soldiers in the army know who Li Hong is, those Karasuma soldiers and Hun soldiers only believe in and worship Li Hong, and there will be no two hearts at all, and Li Hong's prestige among the soldiers is unmatched. Speaking of which, this Changshui battalion is under the command of Yuan Shu, but once something happens, as long as Li Hong raises his gun and shouts, the soldiers don't all run behind Li Hong, at that time, who still knows Yuan Shu?

The general He Jin was worried about this, so he temporarily let He Feng enter the Changshui camp, and he always wanted Yuan Shu to have a group of his own henchmen. In the Changshui camp, the military Sima are all Hu people, and it is difficult for the Han people to gain a foothold, so He Feng, the military Sima is actually an idle position, and he took a hundred guards brought out of the General's Mansion to Yuan Shu as a personal guard.

Recently, the Changshui Battalion and the soldiers of the Black Panther Yicong have gotten along very well, after all, everyone is a Hu person, they all have the same speaking customs, and they are all far away from home, of course they are affectionate. Originally, this was a good thing, but after Yuan Shu received He Hao's letter, it became a bad thing, so Yuan Shu had a headache these days and couldn't think of a good way.

Now, it has become a fact that the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion cannot enter the city, and if a few more military horses who lead the troops are brought to the city, won't this Changshui Battalion become Li Hong's bag? Yuan Shu frowned, and regretted very much in his heart that he had heard Li Hong's words in the morning and ran to Xindu City first, if he knew that the army was stationed outside the city, he would have brought at least a thousand people into the city. Although Li Hong ordered his subordinates to bring only a hundred people into the city just now, now that his itinerary has changed, it is much more difficult to kill him in a hurry.

Yuan Shu looked at the smile on Li Hong's face, and his heart felt weak for a while. He is a pampered disciple of the gate valve, he has never been on the battlefield, nor has he killed anyone with his own hands, but he is just showing off his power in Luoyang, and he really wants to kill a world-famous battlefield general, to say that his heart is not empty, it is a lie.

He forced a smirk at Li Hong. The army outside the city must be led by someone no matter what, and if the matter is big, the army must be used, otherwise the black panther Yicong is very likely to rebel after Li Hong's death. Three of the five military commanders were Karasuma and two were Huns. It is definitely not possible to stay Karasuma people, Li Hong came out of northern Xinjiang, and there are also many Karasuma people in the Black Panther Yicong, and if you want to stay, you can only stay with the Huns.

"Lord Liu and Lord Lu work hard, you two stay in the camp." Yuan Shu pointed at Liu Ming and Lu Xian and said, "What do you think about the two adults?" ”

Liu Ming is in his twenties, nine feet tall, burly and strong, with a big square face and a pair of big eyes, standing there like a hill; Lu Xian was a little older than him, and he was also tall and heroic, but his body was slightly thin and his skin was darker. The two bowed down to receive the order.

Li Hong shook his head with a smile and teased: "Brother Highway, you are very eccentric." ”

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "If the lord orders them to enter the city and station, the matter will be resolved." ”

Li Hong laughed and said: "That's not good, the military order is like a mountain, how can it be changed." ”

He then said to Li Wei: "Zhong Yuan, if Zi Shi and I haven't come back, you sit in the camp and let Zi Feng come into the city to pick me up." ”

"Brother Highway, Lord Tian, let's go, let's go into the city."

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Yan Liang looked at Xu You coldly and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, you still dare to come to the barracks, okay." He slapped the case suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Come on, drag it out, cut it off, give the head to Wang Fen, quickly!" ”

Xu You was shocked, and shook his hand again and again: "The adults are angry, the adults are angry, I am here to send money and food, how can the adults kill me?" ”

Wen Chou, who was sitting on the side, smiled: "Of course you can kill it." If I kill you, I won't believe that Wang Fen dares not to send money and food. ”

Several guards rushed up and grabbed Xu You, and dragged him out. Xu You was anxious and shouted loudly: "My lord, I really sent money and food." ”

"Where's the stuff?" Yan Liang glared at his eyes and asked, "Where is the thing?" ”

Wen Chou waved at the guards and motioned for them to let Xu You go.

"The money and grain are in the treasury, and you have to take it yourselves." Xu You said angrily, "We don't have a carriage, and we don't have people. ”

"What about the carriage? What about people? Is it true that all the people of the city are dead? Wen Chou asked with a grin, "Lord Xu, aren't you making fun of us?" ”

"Nobody is nobody." Xu You tilted his head and shouted, "I'm just here to say to you, I want to take it yourself." Then he pointed at Yan Liang and said, "In addition, I want to tell you that Lord Wang has already written to impeach you, so you should wait to go to prison." ”

Yan Liang ignored him and ordered the guards to drag him down and lock him up, "If you lie to me, I'll cook you and feed it to the dogs." ”

He then asked the tiger to lead people into the city to get food. Shooting Tiger ran to the grain depot with five hundred soldiers, but was told that Yan Liang needed to come in person to distribute the grain. Shooting the tiger was helpless, so he had to send someone back to the camp to inform Yan Liang.

After Yan Liang heard the news, he sneered: "This Wang Fen, trying every means to trap me, is too deceitful. ”

"Don't go just yet." Wen Chou smiled, "As soon as you go, he will definitely not give it to you, his purpose is nothing more than to force you to open a warehouse to get food privately, and then he will kill you justifiably." This Wang Fen, he treats us like idiots. We're not going. ”

"Hmph, of course I'm not going." Yan Liang said, "I don't believe it, he dares to starve these Yellow Turban soldiers to death." The longer this dragged on, the more the soldiers hated him, and I would like to see how he ends. ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Yuan Shu accompanied Li Hong into the mansion, and after chatting for a while, Yuan Shu found an excuse and hurriedly returned to the pavilion. He Feng and Zhou Jing have been waiting in the house for a long time.

"Did you hear from me?" Yuan Shu entered the door and asked, "Is there a plan?" ”

"Li Hong is going to leave the city and return to the camp before the time of his son, and it is only four hours away from now, and the time is too rushed." Zhou Jing said, "If we want to kill him, we have to find a way to prepare temporarily, which is too dangerous." ”

"You didn't use any of the methods you used to set in the past?" Yuan Shu asked.

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "I don't need any of them." He looked at the two of them and said cautiously, "I suspect that Li Hong has heard something." What does it mean that he left the Changshui camp outside the city? ”

"He said he had left early, so he stationed his troops outside the city." Yuan Shu said, "I left two Huns in the camp to sit in the camp, and nothing will happen." But if you don't kill him tonight, you won't have a good chance. When Li Hong arrived in Hejian Country, the news of Yan Liang's killing would definitely reach his ears, and at that time, it would be too expensive to besiege and kill Li Hong. In my opinion, if you want to kill him, you will be in the city of Xindu tonight. ”

Zhou Jing was silent, contemplating.

He Feng walked up to Yuan Shu's side, lowered his voice and said, "Lord He repeatedly explained in the letter that we must kill Li Hong, and he said that this is related to the rise and fall of the world. Lord He said it so seriously, did they hide something big from us? ”

"Who?" Yuan Shu asked vigilantly, "General? ”

"Wang Fen wants us to kill Li Hong, He Hao also wants us to kill Li Hong, everyone wants to kill Li Hong, but why kill him, do you know?" He Feng said, "I think there must be something famous in this, it won't be just to see him uncomfortable, right?" ”

Yuan Shu thought for a while, leaned into He Feng's ear and said, "Anyway, everyone wants him to die, so let's kill him, what do you want to do?" Kill him, we can not only get Wang Fen's money, but also get the appreciation of the general, and we can also be promoted and make a fortune, there are so many benefits, why not do it? What do you want to do? ”

He Fenghu glanced at Yuan Shu suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

"How could I lie to you?" Yuan Shu smiled and said, "I'm just a captain, you're just a little military horse, what can we know?" Listening to He Hao's party members, there will be nothing wrong with it. ”

"What do you think of this?" Zhou Jing suddenly raised his head and said, "In the middle of the night, we attacked Li Hong at the city gate. ”

"We still have four hours to prepare, which is a bit too rushed, but we can barely handle it. With the five hundred people in the hands of the adults plus the five hundred people of the Shinto City Lord, there are now a total of 1,000 people in the city, and Li Hong only has 100 people, so we have an absolute advantage in strength. The short and chubby Zhou Jing frowned and explained slowly.

"What about the Black Panther Righteous Servants outside the city?" Yuan Shu asked, "When is the right time to do it over there?" ”

"Sub-hour. The soldiers were basically asleep and were just in time to get started. Zhou Jing said, "The key is time, we have too little time to prepare, if only there was more time." ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Yuan Shu urged, "You go to Tian Feng to discuss." Humble words, you immediately take my warrant to the camp and order Liu Ming and Lu Xian to quietly prepare to attack the Black Panther Yicong. ”

"You must send someone to see it near the city gate?" Zhou Jing reminded, "All the ways out must be blocked." ”

"I'll send someone to the city gate to check the terrain immediately." Yuan Shu smiled, "You are all busy, I went to the mansion to chat with Li Hong." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Li Hong smiled and asked Tian Fengdao: "Lord Tian, you just said that the matter of Hejian Kingdom was misinformation, what evidence do you have?" ”

Tian Feng nodded and said, "Can you follow the subordinate to the study to discuss in detail?" ”

"Okay." Li Hong smiled, "But do you want my attendants to step down?" ”

"That's not necessary." Tian Feng smiled, "It's okay for your attendant to stand outside the house." ”

Li Hong walked into Tian Feng's study and saw Song Wen standing in the room to greet him at a glance.

"Brother Changfeng." Li Hong shouted in surprise, "It turns out that you hid here." ”

"Do you know you're in danger?" Song Wen bowed and saluted.

"Fortunately, I didn't feel any danger." Li Hong smiled, "Thank you Brother Changfeng for your concern." ”

Song Wen and Tian Feng glanced at each other. "Your Excellency doesn't believe us." Tian Feng smiled, "I'll show two things to adults." ”

Tian Feng took two volumes of books from the desk and handed them to Li Hong. These are two letters, written by the judge and the frustration to Li Hong.

Li Hong glanced up at Tian Feng and asked happily, "It turns out that the replies of the two adults have been sent to Lord Tian. I've been wondering why the two adults haven't replied to the letter for a long time, whether they have forgotten about me Li Hong. ”

"How can you forget your lordship?" Tian Feng smiled, "You read the letter first, and then we will talk about it in detail." ”

Both the trial and the frustration revealed some of Wang Fen's illegal acts in the letter, and the two invariably suspected that Wang Fen and Xiangkai were going to engage in some conspiracy in Jizhou.

"Do you trust us now?" Tian Feng saw Li Hong put down the book and asked.

Li Hong arched his hand and smiled: "This matter is very important, I can't be careless." Since Master Juan and Master Fu both respect the two of them, and have a very close relationship with them, of course I should trust you. He then asked Song Wendao, "Changfeng, what did you mean when you said that I was in danger?" ”

"Wang Fen and Yuan Shu want to kill you in Xindu." Song Wen said, "My lord only has a thousand black panther righteous followers with him now, and his strength is weak, and the situation is very dangerous. ”

"Wang Fen sent Zhou Jing with heavy gifts to buy me a few years ago." Tian Feng continued, "I am old friends with Zhou Jing, it's hard to refute his face, and in addition, I also want to know what Wang Fen wants to do, if so, I will accept this heavy gift." Three days ago, Zhou Jing suddenly came to me from Yecheng, saying that your subordinate Yan Liang had fornicated with the Yellow Turban ant thief and was ready to take advantage of His Majesty's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors to rob and kill the Son of Heaven. Zhou Jing told me that Wang Fen wanted me to mobilize the county soldiers of Xindu and cooperate with Yuan Shu's Changshui camp to hunt down the adults and the black panthers. ”

"They all have a detailed plan to kill you at the feast tomorrow night." Song Wen smiled bitterly, "Everything is ready, just waiting for you to enter the city." ”

Li Hong gave his hand again with great gratitude, and thanked him repeatedly: "Why did Lord Tian tell me such a confidential matter? Did you see something? ”

"Yes." Tian Feng said, "It's the matter of Hejian Country." Although Wang Fen tried her best to cover up this matter, I still heard the rumors. I sent people to see it several times, but the result was the same, Wang Fen didn't start repairing the temple at all, except for buying some wood and stones to pile up on the site, let alone the temporary palace. What does Wang Fen want to do? He waved his hand angrily and said, "Wang Fen wants to plot a rebellion and kill you, but it's just to cover up their crimes." ”

"Although the adults changed their itinerary temporarily and disrupted their arrangements, I think they will definitely kill you tonight, so ......"

Before Tian Feng's words were finished, Pang De suddenly shouted outside the house: "My lord, Lord Tian's lord Bo is in a hurry to see. ”

Hearing this, Tian Feng hurriedly said "accuse" to Li Hong, and then hurriedly walked out of the study. It didn't take long, and Tian Feng trotted all the way back.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Hong looked at him panting, and joked with a smile, "Could it be that Yuan Shu brought someone in?" ”

Tian Feng said nervously: "My lord, they will do it at the city gate tonight. ”

Li Hong smiled slightly, calmly, as if he knew it in advance, and asked without surprise: "Does Lord Tian have a plan to break the enemy?" ”

Tian Feng glanced at him in surprise and said, "No." Now, both inside and outside the city, the adults are at an extreme disadvantage, and there is no other way but to escape. ”

Li Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not leaving." ”
