Jin Yuwei camp, Chen Shou was watching them drill.

"Li Xin is in Datong, blocking the three attacks of the Mongols, and now he has begun to counterattack."

Huang Zhen held up a letter of victory and shouted with a smile. He was a sixty-year-old man, and he trotted away, making the people around him very worried.

Chen Shou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Li Xin really didn't disappoint me. ”

Chen Shou really trusted him very much, and even at this time, he transferred Bianliang's soldiers and horses to Wuqing County to suppress bandits.

Although it was to take the Daimyo's Mansion, if he didn't trust Li Xin so much, he wouldn't dare to take this risk.

"Lao Huang, be careful, at such an age, you are just unstable." Chen Shou said with a smile.

Chen Shou had known the battle report for a long time, so he could be so calm and light, and the two of them were not happy for long, and they came rushing outside.

When he arrived at the front of the platform, the knight on horseback turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the governor of Shandong sent a request for help, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Jeju, and Bazhou made a disturbance at the same time in the White Lotus Sect, and the bandits broke the state and county, slaughtered officials, and coerced the people, and the situation was no longer under control." ”

"It's coming!" Chen Shou's face turned from sunny to cloudy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists were clenched.

"Go, go to see Your Majesty!"

In the palace, Zhao Cai saw Chen Shou and felt a little weak.

This time, the Marquis of Zhongyong not only came by himself, but also brought several important ministers from the court.

Looking at it like this, could it be that I have lost my mind when I found my plaything?

Chen Shou looked at the emperor with an obscene look, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has made a rebellion in Shandong, defeated four state capitals in a row, killed one hundred and ten officials of my Daqi, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. ”

When Zhao Cai heard this, he got up and said, "It's the White Lotus Sect again!" ”

After all, he was a young man, and he was not afraid, and said loudly: "Come on, herald the military department, I want to drive the expedition in person and completely exterminate the White Lotus Sect!" ”

The officials present looked at each other, and Chen Shou was also taken aback by him, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty's body of daughter, the dignity of ten thousand times, how can you drive a personal expedition for the sake of mere bandits." The minister recommended Zhang Zhengyuan, the general of the forbidden army Yulin, as the main general, and Liang Zhongqiu, the chief soldier of the Daimyo Mansion, as his deputy, to go to Shandong to quell the rebellion. ”

"That's right."

---

Almost at the same time, the messengers of the two Huai were also on their way.

The White Lotus Sect also broke out in the Qin area, and the Hebei area was in an emergency.

In one day, the snowflakes of the song for help flew into the palace, and the heroes and powers from all over the country began to recruit soldiers and horses under the pretext of suppressing bandits to save themselves.

This is what Chen Shou expected, and it is also something he has no control over, these people will recruit their own soldiers and horses sooner or later, otherwise the wealth they have accumulated will be reduced to other people's military salaries.

In troubled times, whoever has soldiers has the right to live and who can keep his family business.

Otherwise, the richer the person, the faster he will die, and the more miserable he will die.

The little emperor didn't know the depth, so he agreed to Chen Shou's arrangement, making Zhang Zhengyuan the general and Liang Zhongqiu as the deputy.

This gave Chen Shou a chance to let Liang Zhongqiu leave the lair, once he didn't comply, it would be disrespectful.

If he led his troops out of the Daimyo's Mansion, taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of the Daimyo's soldiers with him, it would be much easier to get rid of Liang Zhongqiu.

can also take the opportunity to raid his lair, and the people who were previously planted and bought have become the key at this time.

Inside the Daimyo's Mansion, a hidden courtyard.

The surrounding courtyard wall is three feet high, and even from a small building, you can't see the scene inside.

The gate was heavily guarded, and ordinary people would be politely driven away when they approached.

There was a stone table in the courtyard, and there were several big men sitting around, all of whom were middle-aged. There was a small clay stove burning beside it, boiling water, and they didn't even bring a maid, and one of them lifted the pot and filled it one by one.

"In today's situation, anyone with a little insight knows that troubled times are coming. Troubled times need a master, and Liang Zhongqiu is definitely not a master. A tendon follows him, but he is afraid that he will be destroyed by someone at the earliest, so it is better to take the opportunity to change the court. ”

"Liang Zhongqiu is indeed incompetent, but who can we vote for?" A middle-aged scribe asked. If there is someone who is familiar with the officialdom of the Daimyo's Mansion, you can recognize it at a glance, this person is none other than Li Chengdong, the secretary of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Lord Silu didn't even wear an official uniform, he looked more capable in civilian clothes, and the people around him were either military generals or civil officials, all of whom were officials in important positions in the Daimyo Mansion.

The Daimyofu is different from other prefectures and counties, and all its regulations are almost on the same level as Kaifeng Prefecture.

Its official subordinates include Mu, Yin, Shaoyin, Silu, Hucao, Facao, Shicao, and the manager to join the army and literature, teaching assistants, and stay in the Si Yushi Tai. The official positions below Mu and Yin are the same as those of Kaifeng Mansion.

Such a place naturally has its own faction, and now this small courtyard is a representative of the native-born Daimyo Mansion Haoqiang, village sages, and gentry.

Liang Zhongqiu trusted a group of people himself, and after Wei Yunse's death, Liang Zhongqiu was free of shackles and promoted a group of people. They have no background, they can only rely on Liang Zhongqiu, so they are most loyal to him.

There is also a group of Wei Yunse's old department, and behind these people is the Lianghuai Group. After Wei Yunse's death, these people were devastated, and they had not yet recovered, and they were also inseparable from Liang Zhongqiu.

"You say, this idiot, will he go to Shandong to suppress bandits?" Li Qian, the defense envoy of the Daimyo's Mansion, said with a smile.

"Don't say it, it's possible." Li Chengdong said in a low voice: "I won't tell you any lies, a few days ago, Wu Lin from Liaodong and Chen Shou from Kaifeng Mansion sent people to contact me, asking me to abandon Liang Zhongqiu and switch to them. The remuneration they promised, one is more generous than the other, compared to Wu Lin, what do you think? ”

"There are also these two groups of people in my house, as well as Jiang Chucai from Hedong, although Chen Shou gave the least, but it is also more trustworthy. The other two, I always feel a little empty. Li Qian said: "Chen Shou is the closest to us, the key is that he is a rising star, and we have gone to a lot of positions." The other two are already deep-rooted old feudal towns, and the front seats are crowded, how can we have a place. ”

"That's what I mean, and don't forget, there is Xiliang behind Chen Shou."

Li Qian asked, "Will Xiliang support Chen Shou?" ”

Cui Yu, who had not spoken, said with a smile: "The relationship between the Zhengxi General's Mansion and Chen Shou is only deeper than we know, do you know, that Chen Shou has to transport grain and baggage to Yingzhou without his own soldiers being equipped, if it weren't for the secret alliance, how could he be like this?" ”

Chen Shou never thought that his rare move of giving up his small family for everyone was misunderstood by He Xiliang's covenant, but it helped him a lot.

Because of the heavy weight of Xiliang, the local snakes of the Daimyo Mansion decided to take refuge in Chen Shou.
