As the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Xuan is not the founding emperor, but he is the real founder, the founder, the founder, the current official public opinion propaganda, basically rarely mention the deeds of the first emperor Li Erbi, because in the eyes of anyone with a little IQ, the first emperor Li Erbi is really unproductive!

Therefore, in public opinion, especially in the public opinion guided by the official, the greatest achievement of the first emperor Li Erbi was not the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but the birth of Li Xuan, the ancient saint monarch!

After Li Xuan ascended the throne as emperor, he really created the Tang Dynasty, and carried out all kinds of reforms that had never been heard of before, and even many people didn't even dare to think about it, from the official system to various policies, and then to military innovation, Li Xuan was almost a hand-in-hand professor of the Tang Dynasty officials, generals, and scientists to carry out various innovations.

In the intelligence system, Li Xuan also created a precedent, first established the Military Intelligence Department in the Privy Council, which was responsible for the spying of military intelligence and served the military, but with the development of the Military Intelligence Department.

The functions of the Military Intelligence Department are also gradually developing from mere military intelligence spying to a comprehensive foreign intelligence organization, spying on military intelligence, infiltrating behind enemy lines, sabotage, assassination, and plotting against hostile officials and generals.

Later, Li Xuan established the Survey and Statistics Department under the Hanlin Academy, which is called the Survey and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy, but it is different from other departments of the Hanlin Academy.

Its functions are mainly counter-espionage, monitoring and investigating rebellions, of course, it has not been put on the surface, but in fact it has been done, and people know what Han Tong is doing: monitoring hundreds of officials.

The sixth department under Hantong is in charge of monitoring hundreds of officials!

When officials talk about Hantong, they may not think there is anything, but when it comes to the sixth place, it is basically a change of color that everyone talks about.

Li Xuan had a clear division of powers between these two intelligence agencies when they were established, but as time passed, the two conflicted over some businesses.

For example, in the matter of counter-espionage, in order to better counter-espionage, the Han Tong side will also set up workstations in the ruling areas of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the core cities such as Youzhou City, and start from the side of the Ming Dynasty to spy on intelligence, so as to dig out spies or pseudo-Ming remnants hidden in the Tang Dynasty.

In order to spy on intelligence and sabotage, the Military Intelligence Department will naturally set up a special agency in Youzhou City, and in this way, the two sides will inevitably form a certain conflict in business!

Li Xuan himself knows this, but to be honest, he is also a little helpless, because in the current process of unification, these two intelligence agencies have enough reasons to carry out these actions, so he can only turn a blind eye.

In this way, it also exacerbated the conflict between these two intelligence agencies of the Tang Dynasty!

As a result, the contradiction between the two intelligence agencies of Datang's Military Intelligence Department and Hantong is getting bigger and bigger day by day, especially in the areas near the front line, these two agencies in order to compete for credit, the means are not so glorious, although the two sides have not had a large-scale fire fight or the like, but secretly stumbling on each other to sabotage this kind of thing, but it is not less.

The head of the Han Tong and the head of the Military Intelligence Department in this Youzhou City are naturally two sworn enemies!

However, today, these two sworn enemies are going to cooperate, no matter how you look at it, how do you feel!

But no matter what they thought in their hearts, things still had to be done, and after the two spy leaders left, they quickly assigned all kinds of tasks.

These two intelligence agencies have been operating in Youzhou City for several years, and they basically need to have manpower and channels, and at this critical juncture when the Tang Dynasty is about to attack the city, they can't care about preserving their strength, and they are mobilizing all the personnel who can be mobilized.

So soon, several places in Youzhou City were on fire at the same time!

When the fire broke out, all kinds of riots and chaos happened!

At night, at ten o'clock, when Wang Qinghan, the new left attendant of the Ming Dynasty's military department, had just finished the discussion on the cabinet side and returned home in a sedan chair with a tired body, he was a staunch main battle faction, and at the meeting just now, he insisted on stubborn resistance.

However, he was attacked in front of his house, and several men in black night clothes appeared out of nowhere, shooting arrows at the palanquin with crossbows, and throwing several grenades.

By the time the captain's guards reacted, the black-clothed men had already left quickly, and they hurried to check the information, and no one cared about the deaths and injuries of the accompanying guards and entourage, but in the sedan chair, a crossbow arrow pierced the chest of the new soldier Zuo Lang, and he was killed on the spot!

At 10:20 p.m., the second assistant of the cabinet in the new dynasty, the emperor Wan Chensong also just returned to the mansion, and then a man in black quietly entered the second assistant's mansion, and entered Wan Cifu's study and talked for half an hour.

Almost at the same time, in an armoury heavily garrisoned with large quantities of ammunition, a man in an ordinary robe entered a nearby barracks, and found a man in a Ming officer's uniform, and their slight conversation could be heard in a blur.

"Li Baihu, you can already see the current situation, my Wang Shi's army is stationed outside the city, if nothing happens, tomorrow will be a big attack on the city, at this time, as long as you blow up this armory, then it will be a great achievement, but when my Wang Shi appreciates it, you will definitely be indispensable!"

"There is no problem with blowing up the armory, although there are some risks, but I am not a coward, but how can I believe that you will really be rewarded for meritorious deeds when the time comes, this army is in chaos, in case you don't admit it, who will I talk to!"

This time, there are a lot of risks, otherwise you will blow up yourself, why bother to find me Li, so I want a quasi-letter! ”

"Our Tang Dynasty division relies on rewards and punishments to govern the army, and this kind of thing is a big taboo in my Tang Dynasty division, rest assured, your credit is indispensable, as long as you can succeed, it is too high to say it, but the head said, this armory, at least worth a captain rank, if you do it beautifully, it is not impossible to have a major rank at that time, if you are not willing to continue to join the army, come to our Han Tong, and protect you from the position of deputy leader.

As for if you don't believe it, then I can't do it, otherwise, I'll go with you now, and if we don't recognize it then, you can just take off my head! ”

Li Baihu thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm a Li person!" ”

Li Baihu said: "Let's go!" ”

The Han Tong nodded: "What are you going to do?" If you gather people, ordinary people can't do it, once exposed, in the midst of the encirclement, your and my lives will be difficult to protect! ”

Li Baihu said: "Don't worry, I, Li, know the measure, and I will personally take my own soldiers to do it later!" ”

In other words, Li Baihu is also a decisive person, and immediately went outside to quietly gather people, and there were not many people who came, only seven or eight, but they were all his personal soldiers, the descendants of the lineage.

After everyone arrived, although those pro-soldiers showed puzzled expressions to the Han Tong person, they didn't ask much, and Li Baihu also didn't say much, and said directly: "The Tang army is about to break the city, and this official can't take everyone to wait for death, so this official has already decided to surrender to my Tang Dynasty King Shi anyway, you are all brothers who have been born and died with this official for many years, this time, this time, this official still took you to do it together, and it was done, glory and wealth are not a problem!" ”

After that, he looked around again and said: "If you are willing to go, take ten taels of silver on the spot, and after the matter is completed, each person will be rewarded with ten taels, and the official will guarantee a future for everyone!" ”

At this time, the people of the Han Tong also spoke: "After the matter is completed, you are willing to continue to serve in the army, in my Tang Dynasty, a non-commissioned officer rank can not run, if you are not willing to join the army, then you can also retire and arrange for employment in the patrol police, the same non-commissioned officer patrol police, you can also come to our Han Tong, the majesty of our Han Tong, I think you have also heard of it." ”

After the seven or eight pro-soldiers listened, one of them said: "My lord, I don't need to say much, our lives are all given by adults, you let us go east, we will never go west, you want to surrender to Datang, we will also follow!" ”

Li Baihu said: "Okay! ”

"Let's go, without further ado, we'll go to the armory right away and blow it up!"

Li Baihu and his party were originally the guards of the armory, and the person from Hantong also changed into the clothes of the Ming army, so he naturally did not encounter many obstacles when entering the armory.

Not long after they entered it, they came out again, but their expressions were panicked, not because they were interrogated and detected after entering the armory, they just attacked the poor on the spot and killed a few Ming soldiers.

Killing the guards was nothing to them, but what really made them panic was that they had already planted a fire rope inside the armory, and it was also lit, and although the fire rope was long, it wouldn't take long for it to burst.

In this armory, there is a large amount of gunpowder stored, once it explodes, the power will be absolutely earth-shattering, they must race against time to get out of this place as much as possible, out of the range of the explosion.

So as soon as they came out, they didn't care about arousing the vigilance of others, they just pulled their legs and ran wildly, and their abnormal movements also attracted the attention of other guards, and immediately someone shouted: "What person, stop!" ”

They won't stop for half a step, but behind them is a huge barrel of explosives, which will explode at any time, and now even if the king of heaven asks them to stop, they will not stop.

They kept running wildly until they ran out of a hundred meters, and the person from the Han Tong said: "Now this place is empty, and it's too late, find a place to hide, otherwise your life will be difficult to protect!" ”

At this time, they happened to see a stinky ditch, and they didn't care about the smell there, so they all jumped in, and as soon as they jumped in, a huge ball of fire suddenly appeared behind them, and the explosion of the distance sounded instantly!

The violent explosion, the fire ball that rose was dozens of meters high, it was so obvious in the night, and the huge explosion force swept almost all the buildings within a radius of tens of meters, not to mention people.
