Chapter 354: Inexplicable irritability
"Something is wrong!" The night is deep, in a mansion in Luoyang City, several people gather together, one by one with solemn faces, if there are others here, they will definitely find that in this inconspicuous mansion, they are all big people in Luoyang City.
The official position may not be high, but the power in the hands is quite a lot.
"It's not right, almost all of the people arrested in the past few days are our people, could it be that someone leaked secrets?" Zhonglang frowned at Li Ying and looked at the people present, he was full of favors and arrested people every day in the past two days, and the evidence given could not be convicted at all, but his attitude was quite tough, perhaps in the eyes of others, these arrested officials seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but they knew very well that these arrested people were all people who participated in their alliance.
One or two may be accidents, but almost all of the people caught these days are their people, which makes them panic, so they have this meeting.
"Don't guess, I've been waiting for a lot of people these days, people's hearts are complicated, and it's not a strange thing that one or two helpers will appear, but I believe that there are no such treacherous people here!" Zhao Shen said solemnly: "If the full pet really knows everything, why just catch them one by one instead of catching them directly?" It's just going to make me wait for myself to mess up. ”
"But now that he continues to be caught like this, we haven't done anything, and I'm afraid we'll all go to prison together." The one who spoke, it was Guo You, the general of the five facial features, the official was not big, but his identity was not ordinary, his daughter was the noble man of today's son Liu Neng, and he was also regarded as the national abbot, and the Guo family also became a powerful person in Luoyang in one fell swoop, with six hundred elites in his hands, and among the people present, he was the only one who controlled the military power.
"I have written to ask Yang Ding to lead his troops to cross the river, and the Hedong garrison will arrive in Luoyang in a few days, and Cao Cao has also promised us that we will help him get Luoyang, and he will depose the puppet emperor Liu Neng and support His Majesty's ruling together with us." Zhao Shen smiled and said, this is also the origin of his confidence, the Luoyang garrison has been transferred away by Chen Mo, the interior is empty, the soldiers and horses in Hedong plus the men and horses sent by the Cao army, as long as they are used well, it is completely possible to capture Luoyang at this time and cut off Chen Mo's way back.
"Yang Ding, is this person reliable?" Guo You frowned and said, "This person has been following Chen Mo for many years, would he really betray him so easily?" ”
Let's not talk about the others, the generals who followed Chen Mo in the early years were loyal to Chen Mo one by one, of course, Chen Mo treated these people well.
"It's hard for others to say, but Yang Ding is this person...... Hehe~" Zhao Shen smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Zhi Da is talented, and his temperament is narrow-minded, I have seen Chen Mo continue to promote some young people over the years, and I have already complained, I have arranged for someone to test it many times, and I can be sure that this person is really committed to His Majesty." ”
Guo You nodded when he heard this, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "What is the use of such a useless person, even if he abandons the darkness and turns to the light?" Or with heavy profits? There are a lot of capable people around Chen Mo, but they can't recruit Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Tai Shici and the like, I think that Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Zhao Zhao are also good generals, if they can be recruited, why are they afraid of Chen Mo? ”
"Those people are not easy to contact on weekdays, and they will slowly figure it out in the future, as for that Yang Ding, although he doesn't have much ability, he now also has the soldiers and horses in Hedong, which is exactly what I need at this time." Zhao Shen shook his head embarrassedly, these people who really have the ability are not easy to recruit, not to say how loyal they are to Chen Mo, but the things that people like them generally recognize will not be so easy to shake, and it is not easy to master, if one is not good, they will be exposed.
"Then recruit me so far today, but do you want to do it?" One asked.
"Not bad!" Zhao Shen said solemnly: "Now that Man Pet has obviously noticed something, he has already begun to make a move, if I don't make a move, it will be easy to be broken by each of them, and I have summoned you here today for this matter." ”
"When to do it?" The other said in a deep voice.
"Three days later, I have made an appointment with Yang Ding, he will lead the army from Mengjin to enter, and I will wait in the city to meet him when the time comes." Zhao Shen said in a deep voice.
"Then Cao Jun's ......" Guo You reminded, Cao Cao's men and horses have also entered the customs, how should these people be placed?
"I'll let them come to Luoyang in five days." Zhao Shen smiled.
"What does that mean?" Guo You was stunned.
"Although it is said that he joined forces with Cao Cao, the heart of defense is indispensable, and His Majesty should be in our hands." Zhao Shen said indifferently.
When everyone heard this, everyone suddenly realized that although Cao Cao was an ally, after he really succeeded, who would take power, this was a big question, and Zhao Shen obviously took this into account.
Guo You hugged his fists and said: "Brother Youcheng is really far-sighted, and I admire it." ”
Zhao Shen nodded, and then looked at everyone seriously: "There is one more thing, that full of pets has become more and more arrogant in the past few days, if you find you, you should prepare as soon as possible." ”
"Tingwei arrests people, we are prepared, can we still openly resist each other?" Guo You frowned.
"I have calculated, in this Luoyang City, Gao Shun is in charge of Huben, in addition to Guanglu Xun Cui Geng in charge of Yulin Zhonglang and Wuguan Zhonglang and the five schools of the Northern Army, of which Wuguan Zhonglang will be in charge of Brother Guo, but the rest of the departments are still under the control of Chen Thief's subordinates, in addition to the captains of the city gates, etc., Luoyang soldiers now have more than 8,000 defenders, and Brother Guo only has 600, even if Yang Ding leads the army to attack, it will be difficult to do it with only these 500 people, so I hope to unite you and bring together the private soldiers at home, I will wait for these private soldiers in the house to be combined, There are also three to five thousand people, so that things can be done. ”
Everyone nodded, this was indeed the way to do it.
"So if the full pet comes to the door in the past three days, you must not resist, let him be arrested, but you need to arrange for a confidant to be in charge of the private army in advance, once you are caught, you will lurk with the private soldiers, and when I wait for the incident, I will join us, and then we will divide a group of people to take the prison directly and rescue you, what do you think?" Zhao Shen looked at the crowd.
"Then let that man be arrogant for a few more days, and when the time comes, I will personally behead him to get rid of this evil breath in my chest!" Guo You was silent for a moment, then nodded fiercely.
The others also nodded, if they did it in advance now, they would be suppressed by the various departments in Luoyang very quickly.
"Without further ado, let's go back and prepare, and before the incident, we won't meet again, so as not to cause trouble!" Zhao Shen got up and hugged his fists at everyone.
"Precious to all the princesses!" Guo You also got up and saluted everyone.
And they parted, and left the house one after the other.
In the dark, around the mansion, after these people left, several figures walked out of the darkness, the first one, lean, eyes like eagle falcons, scary to look at, it was Yang Qing.
"Can you remember clearly?" Yang Qing turned his head and looked at a Skynet general beside him.
"General Hui, remember clearly, do you want to do it?" A soldier bowed.
"These people have noble statuses, arresting them is a matter of court lieutenants, and we are only responsible for recording and checking this mansion." Yang Qing shook his head, looking at this inconspicuous mansion, his voice was cold.
"喏~"
……
Under the same night, east of the river, Shaoting.
This place is located at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, there are rivers on both sides to connect the Yellow River, it is not a good place to camp troops, because it is located in the west of Jiguan, with Hanoi under the command of Chen Mo, the strategic significance of Jiguan has also been weakened, there has been no garrison here for a long time, and now Yang Ding put the place of the garrison here, which is somewhat surprising.
In the spacious military tent, Yang Ding read the letter sent by Luoyang again, and finally threw it into the brazier, looking at the bamboo slips that were constantly being swallowed by the flames, and the uncertain fire light made Yang Ding's face also uncertain.
"General, the boat is ready to cross the river." A general came in and said to Yang Ding, but Yang Ding was startled.
"Do you have no sound when you walk!?" I don't know if he was frightened, Yang Ding jumped up and scolded, scolding the general a little dazed and frightened, but he didn't dare to refute.
Yang Ding was indeed a little irritable, although he agreed to Zhao Shen, but Chen Mo brought him a great deterrent, as a general before, he didn't feel it deeply, but when he decided to oppose Chen Mo at this time, his heart was full of ups and downs, all kinds of unspeakable palpitations kept pestering him, the guilt of betrayal, what would be the consequences if he failed? That's a man who is angry and exterminating.
All kinds of complicated emotions and thoughts were constantly tormenting him, he had been suffering from insomnia for several days, and now he was extremely irritable.
Looking at the general's bewildered gaze, Yang Ding waved his hand and said, "Then let's prepare to cross the river." ”
"Whoa!"
The general agreed and hurriedly left.
Aren't you too hasty?
Yang Ding asked himself, in fact, Chen Mo put him in Hedong to train and retire, and he didn't treat him badly in terms of food, clothing, and officials, so there was no need to get involved in this matter.
But Zhao Shen gave him the conditions he couldn't refuse, with the promotion system set by Chen Mo, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach that height in his life, joining the army and fighting, who wouldn't be in order to seal his wife and son?
Although his current status, as long as his children and grandchildren are competitive, his background is actually not low, but what if they don't compete? Yang Ding wanted to leave more things for his descendants, but under Chen Mo's command, he knew that he had reached his limit and his ability was not as good as others, but it didn't mean that he was willing to stop there.
"General!" Just when Yang Ding was thinking about these messy things, the general who had already left came back, this time he didn't come in directly, but spoke outside the tent, and he could obviously feel that the other party's voice was lowered a lot, but Yang Ding was still startled.
"What's the call!?" The irritable forehead was almost uncontrollable, and he scolded, as if this was the only way to vent the fear in his heart.
"General, General Guo Yi is outside the tent and wants to come in." The general was also a little depressed and bowed down.
"Guo Yi? What is he here for!? Yang Ding was startled when he heard this, his actions were discovered?
Wrong.
Yang Ding settled down, thought for a moment and said, "Please let him in." ”
"Whoa!"
After the general left, Yang Ding was not very relieved, and summoned all his personal guards over, and instructed them to let these people lie outside the tent, so as not to cause any problems for a while, he always felt that Guo Yi came to find him at this time, it would not be so simple.
