Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang finished reading the note, and the two exchanged glances, they were both a little suspicious, what can a name on the note say?

"Brother Ju, don't you have any other clues except for the note?" Dou Wenchang asked.

Ju Wenzhen said hatefully: "Those guards were too ruthless, and they killed the little eunuch who delivered the letter, Xu Shiqi hanged himself again, and the only two clues were cut off." ”

"What about the Queen Mother?"

Huo Xianming asked in a yin yin, "What does she know?" ”

"I asked her, she didn't know anything, Xu Shiqi is dead, of course she won't admit it, I can't beat her to the fifty board!"

"It's not necessary, I guess she thinks Li Wanrong is loyal to her."

"But who is this note for?"

Dou Wenchang's eyes shot at Ju Wenzhen like a cold arrow, "Brother Ju, what is your judgment?" ”

"I think.... I suspect that this note was addressed to Guo Song, who publicly announced that he had received the Empress Dowager's decree King Qin, which was probably the secret decree handed out by Xu Shiqi, and we ignored him. ”

Huo Xianming nodded, "It's very likely that it was given to Guo Song, but will Li Wanrong be loyal to the Queen Mother?" I don't think that if he was loyal to the Queen Mother, the lives of our few would have been gone, this is just wishful thinking of the Queen Mother. ”

Dou Wenchang thought for a while and said, "But now is an extraordinary time, we have to be careful." ”

Ju Wenzhen struck with a fist and said, "Dou Weng is right, instead of believing in it, it is better to believe in it, we should strike first and kill Li Wanrong." ”

"No way!"

Huo Xianming objected: "You can't move Li Wanrong, he has too many minions, and if he moves, it will cause the army to mutiny, so we must handle this matter safely." ”

Huo Xianming walked a few steps with his hands in his hands and said: "Arrange him as the rear army, responsible for blocking Guo Song's pursuers, if he is willing to follow, then you can use him again, if he doesn't come, we have nothing to lose." ”

Ju Wenzhen said a little anxiously: "He has 10,000 troops under his command, and if 10,000 troops don't follow, we will lose too much." ”

"You don't have to worry, the rear army only has 5,000 troops, and they are all natives of Xichuan, they have no intention of going with us, so they simply threw it to Li Wanrong, and Jingnan Jiedu made Liu Bi still have 15,000 troops, and the grain and grass are enough, we arrived in Jingnan, and Guo Song couldn't catch up."

Dou Wenchang also agreed with Huo Xianming's disposition, Li Wanrong was too senior, and he really couldn't act rashly, appointed him as the governor's rear army, and when he returned to Zigui, he would kill his subordinates and seize the military power of the other 5,000 troops.

Dou Wenchang added: "But there is one thing, we can't wait until tomorrow, we will set off overnight tonight!" ”

.........

Zhang Yun paced back and forth uneasily in the inn room with his hands in his hands, Yang Xiuying had already gone to Xu Shiqi, but there was no response, Zhang Yun felt that he was very passive, this was something he had never had since he became the leader of the scout, Zhang Yun had an inexplicable anxiety, although he didn't care about reminding himself to calm down, but this anxiety still kept sprouting.

This anxiety came from the news he had just received that the eunuchs were leaving tonight, and he didn't have any clue yet.

At this time, Zhang Yun felt something, he turned his head suddenly, only to see a cold light flying towards him, he was taken aback, and without thinking, he rolled over on his side, avoiding the attack of the cold light.

He didn't have time to look at the attack, he drew his sword and chased after the outside of the hall, when the hall was empty, there was no one, there was a big tree outside the front wall, the branches and leaves were shaking slightly, and the person had disappeared.

Zhang Yun stared at it for a long time, and then he looked back and saw that it was a flying knife, nailed to the wooden pillar in the lobby, and a letter was inserted on it.

Zhang Yun hurriedly took down the letter, only to see that there was only one sentence in the letter, 'Xu Shiqi is dead, go find Li Wanrong.' ’

Zhang Yun nodded silently, he knew who had given him this letter.

.........

The barracks were busy packing up their belongings, and everyone was in a heavy mood, and last night, I saw that there were soldiers fleeing from all battalions of the Shence Army, and there were more than 4,000 soldiers fleeing.

Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang were furious about this today, and transferred Li Wanrong to the commander-in-chief of the rear army, and the five battalions under him were reduced to three battalions, and the other two battalions were assigned to Shen Quan, another section of the envoy, so that after this adjustment, Li Wanrong's strength was actually reduced to 5,000 people, and Shen Quan's strength was increased to 15,000 people.

Huo Xianming also realized that this would not work, and appointed his henchman Deng Weigong to replace Zhu Yao's position as the Jiedu envoy, and also commanded 5,000 troops as the front army, barely balancing the relationship between the three Jiedu envoys.

Although the eunuchs found various reasons to weaken Li Wanrong's military power and did it carefully, lest Li Wanrong would notice, Li Wanrong still felt the eunuch group's distrust of him, and it was obvious that what he said to the Queen Mother a few months ago may have begun to ferment.

In the past few days, Li Wanrong has been very cautious, he does not dare to take a step out of the camp, he knows the viciousness and ruthlessness of the eunuchs' methods very well, and when he goes out of the camp by himself, it is easy to be plotted by the other party.

Li Wanrong was also very anxious in his heart, of course he wanted to hand over a letter of nomination to Guo Song, and squeezed Guo Song's big boat for himself and future generations, but he couldn't contact Guo Song's people, he believed that Guo Song's people were in Yuzhou, but where were they?

Just as Li Wanrong was anxiously pacing back and forth in the big tent, there was a report from a personal soldier outside the tent: "General Qiyu, someone outside the camp came to look for him, saying that the general's eldest brother sent him to deliver a letter." ”

Li Wanrong was stunned, his eldest brother had passed away for more than ten years, who would he send to deliver the letter?

He suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked, "What is the person who delivered the letter like?" ”

"General Qiyu is a man in his thirties, tall and tall, and he feels like a soldier."

"Let him in!"

Li Wanrong vaguely realized that he was afraid that the person who came was the one he was waiting for, but he was also afraid that the other party was an assassin sent by the eunuch, so he also made a little preparation and ordered someone to find his two sons together.

Not long after, a tall man was brought into the big tent and reported to the soldiers: "We have confirmed that the other party has no weapons!" ”

"All of you go down!"

The pro-soldiers retreated one after another, and only Li Wanrong's father and son and the visitor were left in the big tent.

The person who came was Zhang Yun, he didn't have time to beat around the bush, so he simply came to visit Li Wanrong directly, he saw that Li Wanrong was fully armed, with weapons on the table and at hand, and the two young people behind him were holding swords and looking at him with a wary face.

"General Li thinks I'm an assassin of the eunuchs?" Zhang Yun smiled slightly.

"Who are you?" Li Wanrong asked.

"In the Lower Jin Army, General Zhang Yun, have you heard of it?"

"You're ..... Scout Commander Zhang Yun? Li Wanrong said in astonishment.

Zhang Yun nodded, "Exactly!" ”

"What proof do you have?" Li Wanrong asked cautiously.

Zhang Yun glanced at the two behind him, and Li Wanrong immediately explained: "They are dogs, no problem!" ”

Zhang Yun took out a gold medal from his arms and put it on the table, turned the gold medal over again, Li Wanrong glanced at the gold medal, the front was the commander of the scout battalion Zhang, and the back was the second-class cavalry general.

The gold medal is thick and beautifully made, but it's not the kind that is made on the fly to bluff people.

"Please General Zhang put it away!"

Zhang Yun put away the gold medal, and Li Wanrong introduced his two sons to him, "This is the eldest son Li Nai, who is currently serving as the judge of the Shence Army, and over there is the second son Li Yan, who is currently the general of the third battalion of the Shence Army." ”

The two stepped forward to greet Zhang Yun together, Zhang Yun knew in his heart, and introduced his two sons to himself as soon as they met, which shows Li Wanrong's expectations for himself.

The two sat down separately, and Zhang Yun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has studied the general's resume, and he said that the general should be a very accomplished general, why is he willing to be restrained by the eunuch party?" ”

Li Wanrong was surprised, "Has His Royal Highness King Jin studied me?" ”

"General Li is a key figure in the Shence Army, how can His Royal Highness King Jin not care?"

Li Wanrong was happy and worried in his heart, of course it was a good thing that His Royal Highness the King of Jin paid attention to himself, but he had also done a lot of things against his will over the years, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Jin also knew that for example, killing the old general Hun Yang was done by the army under his command.

Zhang Yun saw his worries, so he waved his hand and said: "The past things will be talked about slowly in the future, now His Royal Highness the King of Jin is most concerned about the safety of the emperor and queen, and hopes to keep them and no longer be held hostage by the eunuch party, which requires General Li's full support." ”

Li Wanrong sighed and said: "Now the eunuch group is very wary of me, cut half of my army, and transferred me to the commander of the rear army, in fact, it is to prevent me from coming into contact with the emperor and queen, if there is a little more time, I can still deploy, but now the time is too tight, they have to leave tonight, leaving us not much chance." ”

Zhang Yun asked, "How are they going to go?" ”

"Of course, the water and land are parallel, all kinds of property and key personnel take boats, the army walks on the shore, the eunuch group, the emperor and the queen are all on boats, and at present they have raised more than 300 ships of thousands of stones, and they are moored by the river, and all the money and property are carried on the boat, just wait for people to get on the ship and set off."

Zhang Yun thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that the soldiers and hundreds of officials are willing to follow the eunuch party to the east?" ”
