Chapter 228: Back to Beijing, the beginning of the counterattack

"Will the official let you go?" Shi Yun felt that Pan Yi was talking nonsense, and the imperial court had always strictly forbidden similar things to happen. He said angrily: "The four major families together have thousands of family members, and it is impossible to secretly transport them away, and it is even more unrealistic to go in a bright way." ”

"Public opinion, we first published it in the newspaper that the situation in Hebei is worrying, Guo Yaoshi betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and planned to take Yanshan Mansion to join the Jin State. It won't be long before the Jin army will move south. The louder the noise, the better, and the group of civil officials were babbling all day long, in fact, they were greedy for life and afraid of death. They will be the first to transport their families to Jiangnan, so it will be logical for our families to go. ”

"Guo Yaoshi will betray the imperial court, if it turns out that the news is false, and in the end the Jin army does not go south, our newspaper will not be able to do it." Gao Jin was still skeptical about these, he felt that Pan Yi was alarmist, but in fact it was so outrageous.

Pan Yi shook his head and said, "It's true, Liu Zhenglong has an organization called Dragon Claw, which has long been laid out in Yanshan Mansion. Since Wang Anzhong cut off Zhang Jue's head and handed it over to the Jin people, Guo Yaoshi has secretly defected to the Jin State. Besides, if the Jin army does not have a plan to go south, there is no need to go to great lengths to pull Liu Zhenglong off the horse, you must know that the Jin country is so troubled, isn't it afraid that Liu Zhenglong will lead his troops to Hebei? ”

That's all that, all of you here are human spirits, can't you guess Jin Guo's true intentions?

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Pan Yi said: "The matter of public opinion will be handed over to the Shi family, the bigger the noise, the better, and we will also cooperate, not only in the newspapers, but also in the streets and alleys." ”

Shi Yun said with a smile: "Leave this matter to me, I promise to fly all over the sky." ”

Pan Yi nodded at Shi Yun, and he continued: "The imperial court wants to transport 500,000 hu rice to Yanshan Mansion, Guo Yaoshi has already taken refuge in the Jin State, Yanshan Mansion will fall at any time, and it is better to transport this batch of rice to Zhaozhou." ”

"Needless to say, our Gao family will do this." Gao Chen is the Privy Council's Privy Council, and it is only appropriate for the Gao family to operate this matter.

Cao Dun saw that Pan Yi had been staring at him, and said angrily: "Fourth brother, my heart is furious when I am stared at by you, let's say, no matter how difficult the task is, our Cao family will follow." ”

"Instigating King Yun to control the forbidden army in the capital, this matter can only be completed by the Cao family."

Cao Dun was dumbfounded, this problem is big, this is not something he can decide, although his father said before he came that he can make full decisions, but this matter is too big, this step out, but there is no turning back.

Gao Jin said: "King Yun's princess was born in the Cao family and has always maintained a good relationship with the Cao family, the importance of this matter, you don't need to talk about it, only King Yun takes this step, so even if the official family wants to move the four families, we will not be arrested, besides, do you Cao family still have a choice, do the four families still have a choice?" ”

Shi Yun patted Cao Dun on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, don't ink, I can't figure out that Liu Zhenglong is your son-in-law, what are you hesitating about." If Liu Zhenglong is really destroyed, can the Cao family be left alone? ”

"Okay, I agreed, but in the end, my father had to make the decision, and it was too big." Cao Dun knew what this matter meant, but he really couldn't decide, he suddenly asked: "Fourth, you assigned us a task, so what is your Pan family doing?" ”

"We can't be idle, we are responsible for transporting the families of the four major families safely, and we also have to monitor the Golden Wolf Guard and the Imperial City Division. In addition, we also have to ensure that the connection between the four major families is unimpeded, and we also need to find out why the Wang family and other families are turning against the water at the critical moment, and we also need to pull them back. ”

Pan Yi finally said: "Since everyone is here, have a drink, so maybe there will be an explanation to the outside world." ”

When drinking, these people gradually lost the door on their mouths, and finally talked about when Liu Zhenglong finally got into trouble and in what form.

In the capital, the situation is changing, and the dark tide is surging, that is, in this case, Liu Zhenglong quietly entered Beijing, this guy did not immediately visit the official family, but secretly entered the Pan family to make final preparations, and when he told others, he may still be secretive, but he was blunt in the Pan family.

In the secret room, the four brothers of the Pan family attended.

Liu Zhenglong said straight to the point: "Father-in-law, uncle, this time I came to the capital, mainly to fight the battle of Tokyo, the Jin army will go south this autumn, of course, it may be advanced, no matter what, I can't watch the capital fall and the people suffer." ”

"However, if you are trapped in the capital like this, the imperial court may kill you or imprison you at any time, it is too risky for you to do so." Pan Yi felt speechless, and he said puzzledly: "You now have enough strength to fight against the imperial court, why do you want to come back and take risks?" ”

"Yes, this step is not good, now Liang Shicheng has told the official family about your intention to rebel, you know, this kind of thing does not need evidence, even if it is groundless, it can still put you under house arrest in the capital." It was Pan Jing who spoke, he really couldn't understand what Liu Zhenglong was doing this for, even if his family was in the capital, with the power of the four major families, he could definitely be safeguarded, and there was no need to take risks.

Liu Zhenglong shook his head and said: "I will not rebel, nor will I seek to usurp the throne, but I will not lead everyone into the abyss." I did this step for the people of the capital and for the sake of the country. Yes, I will eventually reign over the world, which is my ultimate goal, but it does not mean that I will rebel. When the Jin army goes south, the royal family will fall, the Great Song Dynasty will become history, and I will save the people in the world. This time, I'm here to complete the final layout of some things that have not been completed before. ”

Pan Xu waved his hand and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, let's see what Ah Long does next, anyway, the four major families have been tied to the warship, and the three things conveyed by Gongsun Sheng, we have already begun to lay out."

Liu Zhenglong said: "I came mainly to eliminate the Golden Wolf Guard, their power is too huge, and in the shadows, it is difficult to purge them, if they are not cleared, it may cause a greater Tiffin crisis." Secondly, I want to meet with the official family, otherwise the official family will keep an eye on the four major families. In addition, you don't know Liang Shicheng, this old fox has to be cleaned up by me. The most important thing is that before the Jin army goes south, I have to complete the layout and finally start the battle for the defense of Tokyo. ”

Now it was Pan Xu's turn not to understand, and he asked a little stupidly: "On the one hand, you said that the Jin army will attack the capital in the south, and the royal family will fall, and on the other hand, you will start the battle to defend Tokyo." You've won the war, how can the royal family fall? ”

"Two concepts, when the time comes, the civil official group will force the court to negotiate, but the final result is that the royal family will fall and hundreds of officials will be captured. However, it was simple for the Jin army to kidnap the royal family, and it was difficult to enter the capital. After all, I am not a military general, I don't have the right to command the army, and at the critical moment, the officials can't count on it. But I am a war dragon in the wild, as long as I am here, the capital will not fall. Specifically, it depends on the changes in the situation, but in a word, the Battle of Tokyo must be won, and the royal family is doomed. ”

At this time, everyone saw the ruthlessness in Liu Zhenglong's eyes, and they also saw the murderous intention. The four brothers of the Pan family immediately understood that no matter what happened to the Jin army in the end, as long as they arrived in the capital, then the royal family would fall, to put it bluntly, the plan to kill the monarch was there, but it was just to cover people's eyes.

Pan Xu appreciates Liu Zhenglong's overall view and appreciates this young man's decisiveness. Although he was ready to kill the king, he still had to throw this pot to the officials.

Pan Xu said: "Say, let's do something." ”

Liu Zhenglong said very gratefully: "Father-in-law, you have done enough, and I will definitely not let the Pan family take any risks this time." The biggest problem now is to control the forbidden army in the capital, and it is difficult to find a reason, so it can only be borrowed from the hand of King Yun. But the generals below still need the four major families to contact. After all, when great changes come, there will be a lot of instability. In any case, it is necessary to ensure that the four major families can retreat in their entirety, which is the need to control the generals below. ”

"Well, I know, and I'll do it as soon as possible." Pan Jing agreed, he knew what this battle meant to the Pan family, of course he didn't dare to be careless.

"Also, I want the most detailed map of the city's defenses, including Miyagi's." Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong said to Pan Yi: "Fourth uncle, you have to pass a message to the palace through your aunt, because Pan Yun and Pan Jin have not given birth to a male baby. I was very dissatisfied and decided to let my eldest son inherit the position of the prince, and I myself was disheartened and unwilling to enter politics. ”

"Do anyone believe you when you say this? At a young age, he was disheartened and unwilling to enter politics, I'm afraid no one believes it! Speaking of this, Pan Xu coughed lightly and said: "Pan Yun has indeed lost her fertility, but Pan Jin is still young, at this time, you said that if you let the eldest son become the son of the world, it will be difficult to convince the public if he inherits the position of the prince in the future." ”

"Because of my problem, the internal contradictions of the four major families have intensified, and the quarrels have continued, and then if the wife is divorced, everyone will believe it, and the Pan family will believe it if the Pan family unites the four major families to slander me, Chen Shimei, in the newspaper." When Liu Zhenglong said this, he was very embarrassed and said: "In this way, I am wronged Yun'er, Jin'er, this matter must be realistic, and we must deceive everyone, after all, the Liu Mansion has the eyes and ears of the officials." None of them can know the truth, otherwise this play will not be able to continue. ”

Pan Yi reacted quickly, and he said helplessly: "The young man is arrogant, thinking that he was relieved of military power purely because of his identity as the son-in-law of the Pan family, and he feels that he has been dragged down by the four major families, so he divorced his wife and wanted to break with the four major families, which is in line with the requirements of the official family." Maybe the official family will be directly summoned as a colt and let Ah Long and the four major families be completely cut off. ”

Pan Xu said a little dissatisfied: "Divorce your wife, marrying the emperor, on the one hand, you are blackening, it will damage your image, and if you don't do it, you will steal chickens and rice, this step is not a good move." In addition, Yun'er and Jin'er are too aggrieved, how to enter Liu's Mansion in the future, and how to be the housewife. ”

"Yun'er, Jin'er will not enter Liu's Mansion again." Liu Zhenglong spoke categorically, and he said with great certainty: "Yun'er is the queen, Jin'er is the imperial concubine, and the two will enter the palace directly from the Pan family." ”

This is not just a promise, but more of a reassurance for the Pan family and the four major families.

"Okay, I'll do that." Pan Xu knew that this matter was very difficult, but at this critical moment, he couldn't make a mistake 100%, and any mistake would drag everyone into the abyss from which he could never recover.

The most critical issue is the problem of Liu Jiajun, although it is Liu Jiajun, in fact, it is also full of the hard work of the Pan family, this army is now going to be abolished in the Privy Council, to change the guard, at this time, everyone is worried, after all, without the army, nothing can be done.

Pan Yi hesitated to ask, but didn't know how to speak.

Liu Zhenglong asked: "Fourth uncle, I know what you mean, do you care about the army?" ”

"Nonsense, it's worrying to death these days." The four brothers of the Pan family are all concerned about this issue, and they know that if the problem of the army cannot be solved, then all the layouts will be empty.

Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "After I returned to the capital, I didn't even drink saliva, can we talk while drinking." ”

"It's okay to drink, but, woman, don't touch it for a short time, it's a punishment for you."

"Okay!"

When drinking, Liu Zhenglong poured wine for the elders very reverently and said: "Adjust the defense, this is a good thing, after all, Yue Fei led the cavalry to the vicinity of the capital, I have always been worried about how to fight against the Jin army without cavalry, Yue Fei, this kid is young and energetic, and his ability to lead the cavalry is stronger than mine." With this cavalry, plus the 20,000 cavalry in Mu Huogang, then the battle on the periphery of the capital is enough. Hua Rong is my brother-in-law, and the cavalry he brings can support this side at any time. As for the cavalry that remained in Liu Fa, it was temporarily commanded by Zhang Xian, and it was not a big problem. What I am most worried about is that Heberon's 100,000 new army, disbanded on the spot, is my biggest headache. However, this old ghost from the Western Regions has a way, he actually turned the 100,000 cavalry into zero, some of them were pulled to the Western Regions to expand their territory, some of them were pulled to the grasslands to recruit the grassland warriors, and some of them would enter the Western Xia. Not only that, this guy and Xiao Gan, Yelu Mawu recruited wandering Khitan warriors to cause a small-scale turmoil on the Western Front, causing some trouble for Li Bangyan, and the Western Army of the province was really messed up. ”

At this time, the four brothers of the Pan family understood a truth, what the army is, that is, who pays the money and who has the right to speak. In addition to the Long Xiang Army and the Water Army, the others were built by Liu Zhenglong at his own expense, plus the Dragon Soul Society is in it, even if the imperial court disbands it, as long as Liu Zhenglong gives an order, it can still be formed, which is unthinkable by the imperial court, and no one can even imagine it in the whole world.

As for the Long Xiang Army, it was very troublesome, it was raised by the imperial court, and in Jiangnan, it was not on the border like the new army, and once the imperial court proposed to reorganize it, it would be a big trouble. At this time, the role of the five tigers of the Pan family can be regarded as reflected, these five tigers will command an army by one, with the help of the Dragon Soul Society, no matter how the imperial court is organized, it will not hurt the muscles and bones in the end.

Finally, when it came to the Long Xiang Army, Liu Zhenglong said: "Father-in-law, the reorganization of the Long Xiang Army this time should be led by Gao Chen, you discuss with him, delay it as much as possible, and let the Pan family personally bring five million gold and silver tickets to operate, don't dare to let this army go into chaos." The combat effectiveness of the Long Xiang Army has been formed, which is enough to fight against the Jin Army, and once it collapses, it will be a big trouble. ”

Pan Jing said: "I'll go with Yue'er, and take a look at our home in Hangzhou by the way." Ordinary people can't suppress those people, and many people can't be solved by money. In the past few days, I have discussed with a few other companies, and when we try to reorganize, we will put our people tightly in place, so as not to affect the overall situation. ”

"Since my father-in-law is over, let's form a new army over there, control the number within 10,000, and secretly station it near Hangzhou, don't expose it. To be a good soldier, don't be afraid to spend money, I asked Hangzhou Jinxing to open the authorization, how much money is needed, you can take it. ”

"I understand now, Ah Long won the position of the money caster, which is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is much easier to recruit troops, as long as our copper can keep up, then theoretically, there is no upper limit. I don't know if the official family will vomit blood in anger after they react. Pan Yi couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, he felt that this time the official family was stealing chickens and rice, and this time it was indirectly pushing Liu Zhenglong.

Liu Zhenglong shook his head, he said helplessly: "This matter is not the intention of the official family, it is the intention of Liang Shicheng, who fueled the troubles of the family, and finally this matter came to pass." ”

"What do you mean?" At this moment, Pan Yi was confused, how to mint money and reinstate the prison was not the meaning of the official family, why did he finally get involved with Liang Shicheng and Xiang Jia.

Liu Zhenglong said: "Actually, there is nothing, Han Li, the envoy of the Jin State, sold my property to two people separately, and the words are the same, that is, the collaborator can take all my property reasonably and legally. ”

"One daughter marries two people, and I think it's beautiful." Pan Jing said: "Let's poke this matter out in the newspaper, let Xiang Zongliang and Liang Shicheng go dog-eat-dog." Oh, by the way, it's so complicated, it's secret, how do you know? ”

"Yuntianlou is the property of the Xiang family, and it is also the nest of the Golden Wolf Guard, there is a person in it who serves me, no one knows this, which is destined to have no secrets in the Golden Wolf Guard."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong smiled, it seems that the battle was really far-reaching. That person is too Jimin, he doesn't want to say it to the outside world, even in the Pan family. That's why Liu Zhenglong has the confidence to return to the capital to take up his post, this time to uproot the Golden Wolf Guard at the most critical moment, otherwise when the Jin Army attacks Bianliang City, this group of guys will definitely be in trouble. The Golden Wolf Guard has been in the capital for so many years, and it is under the nose of the Imperial City Division, which shows how deep it is hidden.
