"Jie Shuai, the generals of the garrisons in various states have already replied, just wait for the commander to give an order, and he can rise up and echo the commander of the festival."

Xuzhou, Jianghuai Province Jiedu Embassy.

During this time, Zhu Yougong was in a good mood, and his depressed life for many years was coming to an end, and his whole mood naturally improved.

In fact, Zhu Yougong's life has been good in recent years, although his power has been weakened a lot, but after all, he is a festival envoy, and he has also accepted several concubines.

These concubines can also be regarded as competitive, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and he can be regarded as a queen.

But he always had a thorn in his heart.

When he returned to the imperial court, it was also because Zhu Wen killed his wife and children, and only by returning to the imperial court could he live.

But he had no loyalty to the imperial court, and he was the prince of the pseudo-Liang at the beginning, with a high status.

Now he is just a nominal envoy, with little power in his hands, and he is naturally dissatisfied in his heart.

With only one nominal festival envoy, it is naturally difficult to achieve great things.

However, he co-opted Sima Duan Ning, the marching army of Jianghuai Dao.

Duan Ning was originally a puppet Liang minister, because he surrendered earlier, and the imperial court needed to appease the old puppet Liang department, so he could serve as the marching Sima of Jianghuai Dao.

Last year, Duan Ningzhi's sister married Zhu Yougong and became Zhu Yougong's wife, and the relationship between the two became closer.

And with Duan Ning's convenience, Zhu Yougong was able to install his cronies among the soldiers in Jianghuai Daozhou.

"How did Duan Sima reply?" Zhu Yougong looked at the python robe he used to wear in the study, and couldn't help but gently stroke it, which was the court robe he used to wear as a pseudo-Prince Liang.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yougong, who had already returned to the imperial court, would still keep the princely clothes of the pseudo-Liang, if this was known, it would be a taboo thing.

Buckle a hat that intends to rebel and you will definitely not be able to escape.

"Back to Jieshuai, Duan Sima's side is ready, just wait for an order from Jieshuai's side." The men replied.

"How did those civil and military officials in Xuzhou City reply?"

"They all promised to come back to attend the wedding banquet of the marshal, including the political envoy Wang Jun, the general of the Right Tiance Army, Li Wenzhong and others."

"What about Huainan?" For Zhu Yougong, Huainan is the top priority.

"According to the report from the spies, the Huainan army is already assembling towards Chuzhou and Shouzhou, and it should not break its promise."

"That's good. Just act according to the original plan, as long as we control the civil and military officials in Xuzhou City, we can control the entire Xuzhou City, and the rest depends on Huainan. Zhu Yougong smiled.

In the past few years, Zhu Yougong also knew the strength of Jinyiwei, so he did not dare to move the army frequently.

Except for his own soldiers and the garrison of Xuzhou City, nothing else can be mobilized, otherwise Jinyiwei will definitely find out.

However, it is also difficult to control Xuzhou City, that is, the Right Tiance Army outside the city.

The Youtiance army has now been reduced to 18,000 men, stationed in Xuzhou and Suzhou: one is Xuzhou, which is the residence of the Jianghuai Provincial Jiedu Embassy; Second, Suzhou is located by the canal, which can be described as one of the gateways to the east of Henan Road, and its geographical location is important.

But even so, the Youtiance army also had 8,000 garrisons outside Xuzhou City, and with Zhu Yougong's strength in Xuzhou City, it was difficult to win a head-on battle.

That's why he thought of setting up a Hongmen banquet and solving Li Wenzhong and others at the banquet, so that the Right Tiance army outside the city would be leaderless, and it would be easy to deal with.

He only needs to control the city of Xuzhou and wait for reinforcements from the Huainan army.

When the time comes, his cronies and generals in various states will respond, and his plan to control Jianghuai Province will be realized.

What he didn't know was that his every move was clearly known to Jinyiwei.

There is no way, Zhu Yougong has long been on Li Ye's must-kill list.

The reason is very simple, in history, Li Ye was killed by Zhu Yougong, although it was Zhu Wen's order, but Zhu Yougong was the executor.

Although it is no longer the same now, for Li Ye, Zhu Yougong still has to be killed.

The reason why he has endured for many years is that he has no time to deal with Zhu Yougong, and now that the imperial court has no worries about foreign wars, he naturally intends to solve the hidden danger of Zhu Yougong.

Although the imperial court has not moved, Jinyiwei has been watching Zhu Yougong's every move in recent years, including most of his cronies who have been stationed in the garrisons of various states are also in Jinyiwei's hands.

As long as the time is right, you can cut them off one by one.

Regarding the matter of the Zhenjun Navy and Huainan, the Jinyiwei of Jianghuai Province soon got the message. Yang Xingmi gave up sending troops because of the persuasion of his staff Zhou Yin, and Li Jian knew that this was a great opportunity to solve Zhu Yougong.

So a secret letter with Li Ye's order was sent to Li Wenzhong, the general of the Right Tiance Army.

Li Wenzhong was born in the clan and was also the general of the Right Tiance Army, so he was undoubtedly the best person to command this operation.

。。。。。。

"General, according to the news obtained by Jinyiwei, the banquet to be held in the Marshal's Mansion tomorrow is the Hongmen Banquet. Zhu Yougong's plan was to control the general and Wang Bu's political envoy at the banquet, and then seize Xuzhou City and wait for reinforcements from the Huainan army. ”

In the camp of the Right Tiance Army outside the city, the people of Jinyi Wei were in the camp to report to Li Wenzhong the news they had just received.

"General, the last general is willing to immediately lead the army to Pingjiemarshal Mansion and capture Zhu Yougong's house alive."

"The last general is willing to go!"

Before Li Wenzhong could speak, for a while, all the commanders of the Right Heaven Ce Army would ask for battle, as if they had a great hatred for Zhu Yougong.

Li Wenzhong was also shocked, although he didn't deal with Zhu Yougong, he didn't expect Zhu Yougong to dare to collude with Huainan to rebel.

"Wang General, why did you tell General Ben about this?" Li Wenzhong was a little puzzled.

Jin Yiwei is independent of the cabinet and the Privy Council, and directly obeys the orders of the saint, although he is not a direct clan, but he has the blood of the Li Tang royal family in his body, is it a little inappropriate for the other party to come to see him so rashly?

"General Qiqi, the Holy Lord's will, order the general as the commander of this counterinsurgency, responsible for commanding the Right Tiance Army and Jianghuai Dao soldiers and horses to quell Zhu Yougong's rebellion."

Saying that, the brocade guard took out a secret letter and handed it to Li Wenzhong.

Li Wenzhong's expression was serious suddenly, and after making a great salute to Chang'an, he accepted the secret letter and carefully opened it.

After reading it, Li Wenzhong knew what happened, but he also had some doubts.

"What if Huainan sends troops? Moreover, Zhu Yougong has placed cronies in the garrisons of various states in recent years, how to prevent this? Li Wenzhong voiced his concerns.

"Back to the general, Qian Biao of the Zhen Navy has already left for Ezhou to take up his post, and Yang Xingmi of Huainan has ordered the Huainan army to retreat, so the general does not have to worry about this.

For Zhu Yougong's cronies, Jin Yiwei has a detailed list, and he will submit it to the general later.

In addition, the left and right Xiaowei are also being assembled, if the Jianghuai states rebel, the left and right Xiaowei will send troops to help, and please rest assured that the general. ”

"Since this is the case, then General Ben has nothing to worry about, since Zhu Yougong has set up a Hongmen banquet, then General Ben will go to see how his Hongmen banquet is!"

Most of the generals of the Right Tiance Army are from martial arts, and there is no doubt about the loyalty of the imperial court. After having a general understanding of the whole situation, Li Wenzhong is naturally full of confidence.

He still has to participate in Zhu Yougong's Hongmen banquet, otherwise the other party will find out.

And the point mentioned in the letter is to eliminate future troubles. Although he didn't say how to do it, Li Wenzhong understood the meaning, his knife hadn't drunk blood for a long time!
