Chapter 416: All or Nothing (4)

Gongsun Yang left Gongsun Zhi's palace, hiding Gongsun Zhi's secret letter in his arms, Gongsun Yang was overjoyed: Finally persuaded Gongsun Zhi to rebel, Fan Yao, don't let me down!

was happy, a team of guards stopped in front of Gongsun Yang, Gongsun Yang looked at it, it turned out that Bao Yi came with someone.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has been coming to the palace a little frequently recently?" Bao Yi asked nonchalantly.

Gongsun Yang smiled slightly: "What? Can't I enter the palace? ”

Bao Yi shook his head: "That's not it, it's just that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has entered so often for the first time, which makes me a little uneasy in my heart!" After speaking, Bao Yi suddenly threw a bag of broken silver to Gongsun Yang: "This is a reward from His Royal Highness, after thinking about it, let's return it to His Highness, so as not to misunderstand others." ”

Gongsun Yang weighed the broken silver, and said with a regretful face: "You don't want such a good silver, hey, okay, then I won't force you." After speaking, Gongsun Yang put away the money bag and left the palace directly.

At the same time, Gongsun Zhi deliberately asked Tang Xu to go out of the city to run errands, in case he was Gongsun Xu's informant. Then he summoned Hua Wu: "Hua Wu, you are now going out of the city overnight and going to the soldiers and horses of Guancheng." Tomorrow Gongsun Yang will go to dispatch troops and horses, all you have to do is to watch Gongsun Yang, don't let him mess around! Also, I wrote him a secret letter, and after letting the general of Guancheng read it tomorrow, you must destroy the secret letter with your own hands! ”

When Hua Wuyi heard this, he immediately felt that something big was going to happen, so he hurriedly asked, "Why did Your Highness ask Gongsun Yang to send troops and horses?" Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to do something to Zheng Guoren? ”

Gongsun Zhi lowered his face: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, do what I tell you!" ”

After arranging everything, Gongsun Zhi came to the window, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and was nervous and excited: although he will not show up this time, it can be regarded as a desperate gamble, success or failure is in one fell swoop, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

On the other side, Zhang Shumo begged to see Gao Yan overnight, which made Gao Yan startled, and thought that something had happened to Zhang Shumo again.

"It's so late, is there something urgent about you suddenly coming to me?" Gao Yan asked worriedly.

Zhang Shumo nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "General, I have a question that I hope you can answer truthfully, is Fan Xiang any strategy being implemented recently?" ”

Gao Yan looked at Zhang Shumo in surprise: "Why do you ask that?" ”

Looking at Gao Yan's surprised expression, Zhang Shumo couldn't help frowning: "Did I guess wrong?" Fan Xiang didn't let the general send troops and horses? ”

Gao Yan shook his head: "There is no such thing, what did you find?" Tell me the truth. ”

Zhang Shumo thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just think that this time Zheng Guo's mission visits, Fan Xiang may make a big fuss about it, it seems that I think too much." ”

Gao Yan asked puzzledly: "What do you think Fan Xiang will do with this?" ”

Zhang Shumo rolled his eyes, and then said: "This time the Zheng Guo delegation visits, the people who colluded with Zheng Guo before are bound to be unable to sit still, and maybe they will intercept and kill the Zheng Guo mission." That's why I came to ask the general to see if Fan Xiang had made arrangements in advance. ”

Gao Yan shook his head: "Fan Xiang hasn't looked for me, but I think since Your Majesty is no longer pursuing this matter, no one should make any more trouble, it should be you who are too worried!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "By the way, apart from you, the general, is there anyone else who can dispatch troops and horses?" ”

"It depends on what kind of soldier it is. Our military system is different from yours, and many people have private soldiers in their hands, such as Fan Xiang has an infantry of 2,000 people, and His Highnesses also have private soldiers of 5,000 people each, and these private soldiers are all at their personal disposal, and I can only requisition them in time of war. ”

After listening to Gao Yan's words, Zhang Shumo pondered in his heart, since so many people have private soldiers, the possibility of someone taking action cannot be ruled out. So Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked again: "Then this time Your Majesty is worshipping your ancestors in the Taimiao, how many guards are you going to bring?" ”

"What? Are you worried about Your Majesty's safety? There are 50,000 forbidden troops in this generation of the capital, and 100,000 elite soldiers are stationed in the acropolis, which is only twenty miles away from the capital, and if something happens, they can immediately support! Even if Your Majesty doesn't bring so many people to worship your ancestors this time, no one dares to make trouble in Your Majesty's eyes! ”

In Gao Yan's opinion, Zhang Shumo's worries were completely unnecessary. Your Majesty Rong Ma life, can be good at fighting, although the temple is outside the city, but only ten miles away from the capital, if anyone dares to fight the idea of the temple, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end!

Zhang Shumo nodded after listening: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured." It seems that I am thinking too much! ”

Gao Yan smiled: "It's okay, it's a good thing to be cautious after all!" Okay, it's not too early, and I won't keep you. In the past few days, I have been busy with the work of worshipping my ancestors, so I have to rest and rest. ”

So, Gao Yan arranged for Bi Dao to send Zhang Shumo away. When he arrived at the door, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but ask Bi Dao: "Brother Bi, I don't know where His Royal Highness's private soldiers are stationed?" ”

Bi Dao was asked so suddenly by Zhang Shumo, but he became suspicious: "Why did Zhang Gongzi ask about this?" ”

Zhang Shumo thought about it and told Bi Dao what he said to Gao Yan again.

When Bi Dao heard this, he immediately reacted: "Gongzi is worried that His Royal Highness will send someone to intercept and kill the Zheng State Mission?" But this is also a good thing for His Highness, Zheng Guo's mission was intercepted and killed, and there will be no more variables in the alliance between Yan and Huai. ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "That's why I care about the actions of the Second Highness!" Brother Bi rest assured, he has no other intentions, and he also asks Brother Bi to make it clear. ”

Bi Dao thought about it, this chapter Shumo had less than five hundred people, and even if he told him, he wouldn't be able to make any tricks. So he said simply: "His Royal Highness has five thousand private soldiers under his command, all of whom are stationed in Guancheng, fifty miles north of Daijing. In addition, His Majesty arranged the Northern Expedition of His Royal Highness some time ago, so he sent him another 10,000 guards, and I don't know the whereabouts of these 10,000 people! ”

When Zhang Shumo heard this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, it seems that this Gongsun Zhi does have the capital to take risks!

When Zhang Shumo returned to the post house, everyone immediately gathered in his room again. Zhang Shumo told everyone the news he heard, and began to arrange: "Liu Nature, Zhang Gui, Li Mo!" On the third day, you ordered someone to secretly go out of the city in disguise and go to Guancheng to investigate the movements of Gongsun Zhi's private soldiers. ”

"Cai Xun, tomorrow, you first inquire about Fan Yao's reception of the Zheng Guo Mission, if you can't inquire about the information, then inquire about the deployment of the Taimiao, the more detailed the better! Also, don't let the other person suspect it! ”

When Liu naturally heard this, he said unhappily: "We are all gone, who will protect your safety?" ”

Zhang Shumo said: "I have hundreds of soldiers and horses here, but the three of you must be careful, don't take risks!" As long as you find that Gongsun Zhi's private soldiers have taken action, come back immediately to report the news, and don't act rashly. ”
