[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

After Li Zixiao took control of Huai'an, Yao Xinyu's prefect position was not kept, and the previous prefect sent by the imperial court died tragically one after another.

As a result, Han Lushan, the former Huai'an Tongzhi, became the current Huai'an prefect with the support of Li Zixiao.

Recently, Han Lushan went to inspect the Qingjiang Shipyard, but he was not in Shanyang City, after all, the Qingjiang Shipyard at this time was restarted, gathering 10,000 craftsmen.

Li Zixiao attached great importance to it, and Han Lushan, of course, did not dare to slack off, focusing on the construction of roads and facilities around the shipyard.

On this day, on the way back to Shanyang City from Han Lushan's inspection of Qingjiang Shipyard, he was attacked by a group of black-clothed people.

"Brothers, go on, kill the dog thief in Han Lushan, and go back to receive the reward."

A leader of the men in black who took the lead roared.

Han Lushan's accompanying guards fought with this group of black-clothed people.

"Brother Jin, where are we going?" On the other side, not far from the area where Han Lushan was attacked.

Two disguised soldiers of the Sanyang City Defense marched forward under the leadership of Jin Daming, and a short young man asked Jin Daming.

"What do you kid do, you can't just follow Brother Jin."

Kim Damyung didn't speak, and a tall young man next to him scolded the other person.

"Hehe, I'm not curious!" The short young man said with a smile.

Jin Daming took these two most trusted brothers, under the cover of Liang Han, secretly left Shanyang City, preparing to intercept Han Lushan on the way back to Shanyang, and inform Dong Dawei and Jiang Yufeng of their conspiracy.

In the final analysis, Liang Han and Jin Daming did not believe that Dong Dawei's rebellion plan could succeed, and they firmly stood on Li Zixiao's side.

However, Dong Dawei threatened him with Liang Han's old mother, so that he did not dare to refuse Dong Dawei directly, so he had to agree.

But secretly, Liang Han decided to send his sworn brother Jin Daimyo, and secretly informed Han Lushan of the news.

When the time came, they were really regarded as Dong Dawei's lackeys and were suppressed.

"Shhhh Kim Damyo suddenly said to the two young men.

"Let's go. Go over and take a look. ”

The three of them crossed a mountain forest and saw the two sides of the battle on the road.

More than a dozen black-clothed people were fighting fiercely with more than thirty Han Lushan's family guards, although the number of these black-clothed people was small, but all of them were strong in martial arts.

Han Lushan's guards guarded the carriage Han Lushan was sitting in.

"Resist, you must resist, don't let them kill you." Inside Han Lushan's carriage, a panicked voice came from it.

"Haha, old thief Han, you are going to die today, kill!"

Outside, the leader of the man in black roared out loud after hearing Han Lushan's panicked voice in the carriage.

In fact, at this time, in Han Lushan's carriage, Han Lushan not only did not panic in the slightest, but looked calm and calm, looking at it with a letter in his hand.

Next to him, there was another young man, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, with a faint smile on his face, unaffected by the sound of fighting outside the car.

"Hmph, Dong Dawei and Jiang Yufeng are really bold, they dare to secretly plan a rebellion, it is simply self-defeating.

Not to mention that the official did not agree, even if it was hundreds of thousands of people in Shanyang City, he would never agree.

Look at Huai'an under the rule of the general now, not to mention the people have enough food and clothing, but at least for more than a year, it is difficult to see people in Huai'an who are starving to death and freezing to death.

Even the hundreds of thousands of displaced people who continue to pour in from Henan and Shandong do not starve to death, and all this is not thanks to the blessing of the general.

Zhao Duwei, this time I bother you to cooperate with this official, and when the time comes, we will definitely wipe out these guys who don't know the height of the sky, and they will never be allowed to cholera Huai'an. ”

The letter that Han Lushan finished reading was written by Li Zixiao himself and sent by Zhao Zilong quickly.

At this time, sitting in the carriage with Han Lushan was not Zhao Zilong, but Zhao Teng, the brave captain, and the head of the army who Li Zixiao ordered him to assist Han Lushan's operation.

"Don't worry, Lord Han, the general has already arranged everything, this time the general is going to wipe out these black sheep, and I was also ordered to cooperate with Lord Han.

Next, I have to bother Lord Han to put on a good show, just wait for Dong Dawei to enter the urn for these traitors. ”

Zhao Teng opened his eyes and said with a sneer.

On the other side, the three of Jin Damyo lurked in the mountains and forests not far away, watching the battle on the official road, the short young man whispered: "Isn't that Lord Han's carriage?" Lord Han was attacked. ”

"Who is so bold as to dare to openly attack the prefect in broad daylight, Brother Jin, what should we do now?"

The tall young man on the side looked at Jin Damyung and asked in a low voice.

Jin Daming's face was gloomy, and he thought in his heart: "Old thief Dong is really crazy enough, he actually wants to strike first and get rid of Han Zhifu."

If the Han Governor's Mansion is really killed, then Dong Dawei can take over Shanyang as a fellow intellectual, and it will be even more troublesome at that time. ’

Of course, Jin Damyo couldn't watch Han Lushan being killed, and his main purpose in sneaking out this time was to see Han Lushan.

"Big Tiger, Little Black, copy the guy, kill me with me and protect Lord Han."

Jin Damyung said to the two young men, and then they took out the steel knives wrapped in layers of linen, rushed out of the mountain forest, and killed Han Lushan's carriage.

When he rushed out, Jin Daming did not forget to grab a handful of dirt from the ground and wipe it on the faces of himself and his two companions.

He was worried that this group of black-clothed people who intercepted and killed Han Lushan would be Dong Dawei's people in Shanyang City, and if someone knew him, it would be bad.

"Kill!"

Poof!

Jin Daming led people to suddenly kill from the mountains and forests on the side, attacked fiercely, and as soon as he rushed over, he slashed to death a man in black who did not react.

The three of Jin Damyo all have good martial arts, and after joining the battle group, they quickly helped Han Lushan's family guards stabilize the situation.

Jin Daming, with the assistance of his two companions, forcibly killed the three black-clothed masters and deterred them.

"Damn, I actually killed a trip halfway to bite the gold, unlucky, withdraw!"

The leader of the men in black, seeing the sudden killing of the three Jin Daimyo, the battle situation was developing in an unfavorable direction for them, so he had to unwillingly order to withdraw.

At this time, on the hillside behind a kilometer away from Han Lushan's carriage, the White Dragon Sergeant, who had been small, appeared here.

"What's the chief, should we kill it?" A white dragon sergeant asked for instructions to the chief who was the leader.

"Captain Zhao didn't give the order, so we don't need to interfere, just wait!" The chief said coldly.

"Master, the thief has been killed and retreated." After the man in black retreated, one of Han Lushan's generals walked to the carriage and said.

Han Lushan lifted the curtain at this time, walked out, and said in a deep voice: "Well, you have done a good job, the brothers have worked hard, and after returning to Shanyang, there will be many rewards."

Now you immediately treat the wounded, clean up the scene, and get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"Three warriors, thank you for your help." At this time, Han Lushan also turned his attention to the three of Jin Daming.

"Lord Prefect, I am also waiting for my lord here, and I happened to see these thieves attacking my lord, so I came to help." Kim Damyung knelt down and said.

"Warrior please, you are waiting for me here, what are you doing?"

Jin Daming saw that Han Lushan took the initiative to ask, so he gritted his teeth and told him and Liang Han about being coerced by Dong Dawei.

"Lord Prefect, what the little one said is true, Brother Liang and I are both loyal to the general, but Dong Dawei uses Brother Liang's mother as a threat, and he is more than us.

We really had no choice, so Brother Liang pretended to agree to them, and secretly sent the little one to find the adult, tell the adult, and let the adult be alert to Dong Dawei's conspiracy. ”

"Hahaha, you and Liang Han are really loyal people, I already know about this.

You go back and tell Liang Han, let him agree to Dong Dawei's request with peace of mind, and rescue his mother first.

When the time comes, when Dong Dawei makes a move, you can be our internal response and capture this thief in one fell swoop, and you will be considered a hero at that time. ”

"Yes, the little one will tell Brother Liang the truth."

Kim Damyo is gone, and things are going more smoothly than he expected.

Then, after Han Lushan sat back in the carriage, Zhao Teng looked at him with a smile and asked, "Another one who came to ventilate and report the news, how many are these?" ”

Han Lushan smiled and said, "The third one, there are a total of six hundred households in Shanyang City, and now three of them have secretly sent someone to tell me."

This shows that they all know very well that it is impossible to follow Dong Dawei, and they don't know who of the other three will be confused. ”

"General, this is what you want, take this opportunity to see who is truly loyal to the general, and eliminate all those half-hearted guys.

Let's go, let's go to Shanyang, it shouldn't take long for the show to be staged. Zhao Teng said with a smile, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

With Han Lushan's smooth return to Shanyang, there was an undercurrent surging in Shanyang City, and the killers sent out by Dong Dawei failed to intercept and kill Han Lushan, so he had to make dangerous moves.

At the same time, the situation in Yangzhou is more complicated than that in Shanyang, and Pan Ying, as a fellow acquaintance who has been in Yangzhou for seven or eight years, has a better understanding of the situation of officials in Yangzhou.

They focused on coercing and luring the generals of the city defense army in Yangzhou City, once they did something, they would control Yangzhou City in the shortest possible time, capture Lin Yongnian alive, and prevent the White Dragon Army outside the city from attacking Yangzhou.

"Hey, my son-in-law, this time I'm going to have a big purge! It seems that my son-in-law has long been wary of these ill-intentioned guys. ”

When Lin Yongnian received the letter from Li Zixiao and asked Zhao Zilong to send it, he sighed and said.

"Lord Lin, there is nothing wrong with the general's move, keeping these people in Jiangbei is harmful and useless, and it is very necessary to get rid of them as soon as possible.

It's rare that this group of guys who don't have long eyes jumped out one by one, and we just happened to come once and for all. ”

On Lin Yongnian's side, Qian Guangyuan took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.

He also received a letter from Li Zixiao, and of course he also knew about Li Zixiao's plan, and Qian Guangyuan had already expected Li Zixiao's plan this time.

With Qian Guangyuan's understanding of Li Zixiao, this is Li Zixiao's character, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.

Even if there is no opportunity this time, Li Zixiao will sooner or later find opportunities to eliminate these restless people in Jiangbei one by one.

"Now that Zixiao has made up his mind, I have nothing more to say. Next, I will be responsible for containing Pan Ying and Tian Qing, and you will be responsible for arranging operations with General Wei Hong. ”

Lin Yongnian then said solemnly.

With Lin Wan'er pregnant, Lin Yongnian is also completely thinking about his son-in-law at this time, although this operation will definitely involve many people.

I don't know how many Jiangbei officials will turn around and copy their homes because of this, but Lin Yongnian still decided to support his son-in-law's plan.

"By the way, what should Shi Kefa do over there?" Lin Yongnian suddenly remembered something and said to Qian Guangyuan.

Lin Yongnian has been dealing with Shi Kefa during this time, and Lin Yongnian still admires this upright and loyal official.

Similarly, it is precisely because of Shi Kefa's loyalty to Daming that Li Zixiao is going to have an officialdom purge in Jiangbei this time, and once Shi Kefa knows about it, he will inevitably do his best to obstruct it.

"Don't worry, even if Shi Kefa knows, he can't do anything, at most write a few impeachment letters to Chongzhen, and I will send someone to keep an eye on him and not let him interfere with our plans.

According to the general's letter, Shi Kefa did not know about the plans of Pan Ying and others, so it would be easier to do it, so it would be better to keep this Lord Shi in the dark throughout the whole process. ”

Qian Guangyuan said casually.

In the following period of time, the officials of the entire Jiangbei, especially Shanyang and Yangzhou, all had their own thoughts.

Some officials were tempted by the lucrative conditions offered by Dong Dawei, Pan Yu and others, and were willing to cooperate with them in the incident.

In addition, Dong Dawei and Pan Yu this time followed the name of the imperial court, and many Ming officials who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty chose to betray Li Zixiao.

In addition to officials, some wealthy businessmen and gentry from the two provinces also joined in.

Most of these people are businessmen whose interests have been damaged because of the new business policies promulgated by Li Zixiao.

The time lasted until mid-March, and after many preparations, Dong Dawei, Pan Ying and others finally felt that they were almost ready and were ready to start work.

"Report, General Qiqi, there is a secret report!"

On this day, Li Zixiao received a secret report from Zhang Fugui and learned that Liu Zeqing of Yanzhou had 10,000 men and horses and left Yanzhou yesterday and went south.

On the same day, Li Zixiao also received a secret report from Zeng Qi, which read: 'Tomorrow night, the thief will do it. ’

"Hey, is it finally coming?" After Li Zixiao received Zeng Qi and Zhang Fugui's secret report, a sneer appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself.

"Send an order to Zhao Zilong, ordering him to lead 3,000 men and horses in the camp outside the city to the north, and give Lao Tzu to drive Liu Zeqing back to Shandong."

"Send an order to Han Lushan, Zhao Teng, Lin Yongnian, Qian Guangyuan, and Wei Hong, telling them that when the time comes, they can start purging.

Let them be nimble and minimize damage. ”

As Li Zixiao's order was issued, a secret agent quickly passed the order out, and a storm was about to be staged in Jiangbei.
