"No!"

Zhao Ping agreed, thought for a while and asked: "Father, if Murong Ju is killed because he found something, this matter will be a big deal, at least it shows that Dou Kui, who launched the rebellion, is a relatively key figure, so Erchen thinks that if he continues to investigate, this Dou Kui cannot die!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "You are right, Murong Ju is dead, I am afraid that no one around him will survive, and the clues and evidence he found are likely to be destroyed by Dou Kui's rebels, we must open the gap from Dou Kui!" ”

Zhao Ping said again: "Erchen has something to understand, even if Murong Ju has found out what has caused a huge threat to some people, why did they rebel?" Sending someone to assassinate Murong Ju is not enough, the rebellion is too big, and some people can't cover the lid if they want to, is this Dou Kui's good idea? Or maybe Murong Ju had found enough evidence to kill Dou Kui, forcing Dou Kui to take a risk? ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "Dou Kui's rebellion should be a last resort, he has been exposed to Murong Ju's sight, Murong Ju can take him down at any time, he has to fight back in order to protect himself!" But how easy is it to assassinate Murong Ju? No matter how he said it, he was also a minister of the Qincha, and there were always elite soldiers around him to protect his safety, if he wanted to kill him, he could only attack the Qincha with an army! Murong Ju is still not decisive enough, if he finds out that Dou Kui is seriously suspicious, he will immediately quarantine and review him, suspend him from all official positions, and make him lose his rights, so that he can't do anything, naturally there will be no rebellion! Zhao Ping, my father wants you to take the people of the Imperial City Division to Hanoi to take over Murong Ju to investigate the case, if the local Zhenjun army is fighting with the rebels, you must explain to the general commander that he left Dou Kui's life! ”

Zhao Ping promised: "Erchen obeys!" ”

"Wait!" Zhao Junsheng stopped Zhao Ping, who was about to lead people first, and explained to him: "The situation in Hanoi is complicated, and even the officials of Xingyang and other surrounding counties may be involved in the corruption of the river control project, this is a huge network of interests, their power is amazing, you must be careful when you go, don't trust anyone easily, but don't treat all officials as enemies, I still believe that most officials are good!" ”

"Father, rest assured, the son understands!"

Three days later, the army arrived near Tongguan.

As the vanguard of Li Bao with a building of the dragon guard army arrived at the city of Tongguan first, more than 300 cavalry running caused by the movement is not small, the defenders of Tongguan were found far away, the guards immediately shouted loudly to close the city gate, and the people in and out of the city were isolated.

Li Bao took three hundred men and horses to the bottom of Tongguan City, and immediately yelled at the city tower: "I am Li Bao, the general of Longwei, who is the general of Tongguan?" ”

Now that the world is peaceful, the role of Tongguan is not great, the imperial court only deployed 300 people here, led by a general, as a small general, of course, he does not know Li Bao and other big people around the emperor, but there is no one in the military who has not heard of Li Bao's name.

The guard general fixed his mind and stuck out his head and responded loudly: "The last general Yuankang visited General Li, I don't know why General Li brought his troops here?" The last general did not receive the relevant official documents from the imperial court! ”

Li Bao said in a loud voice: "His Majesty the Emperor's imperial drive is ten miles away, and the general has been ordered to negotiate with the city guards along the way as the vanguard, so as not to hinder and delay the itinerary of His Majesty's army along the way!" ”

Yuan Kang was embarrassed: "General Li, the last general is the guard of this pass, and he has to be responsible for the safety of this pass, and there is no official letter from the imperial court to clear the customs of the Yamen, please forgive the general for not being able to let him go!" ”

Li Bao was furious: "The Dragon Guards are with you to protect Your Majesty's safety, where Your Majesty is, where is the Dragon Guard, Your Majesty itself is the largest customs clearance letter, if Your Majesty is here, do you also want Your Majesty to take out the customs clearance letter?" You are so stubborn and don't know how to be flexible, is it possible that someone from above has ordered you to kill the emperor, and you have to do it? ”

"The last general is timid, the general should not make such jokes!" Yuan Kang was startled, he pondered for a moment and asked: "The last general is a small and humble official, and he has never seen the honor of General Li Bao, and the general may prove his identity?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a "whoosh" sounded and an arrow grazed Motoyasu's ear.

With a "bang", the arrow was nailed to the wall of the castle tower behind him.

One of the defenders took down the arrow and the waist tag hanging on it and handed it to Motoyasu.

Yuan Kang took the arrow and looked at it, the arrow shaft was engraved with the special words of the Dragon Guard, the weapons of the Great Cadre are all standard equipment, each army has special equipment, the weapon should not have its number, and the payment of the manufacturing organization.

Seeing only this arrow, Yuankang believed half of it, and then looked at the waist card hanging on the arrow shaft, which was a white jade waist card, and the material used to make the waist card in the army was different because of the military rank and rank of the soldier.

Because of the large number of ordinary soldiers, the waist card can only be made of wood, but it is also made of hard and non-perishable wood, and the name and number are engraved and painted, waterproof and moisture-proof; Waist cards stamped with steel blocks for officers above the head and below the generals; Above the general, under the general with a bronze waist card; Only the general-level waist card is eligible to use the jade waist card.

"General Li Bao of the Dragon Guard!"

Li Bao, the general of the Dragon Guard, has been following the emperor for nearly 20 years, there are very few people in the world who don't know about this, and it is very difficult for the soldier's waist card to be imitated, especially at the general level, which is carved by a special craftsman from the imperial court and the Yamen, and the pattern on the waist card is complex, and it is easy to see the flaws if it is imitated.

Yuankang can basically determine that the military general outside the city is Li Bao, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that it is really General Li, the last general has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and I ask the general to forgive the sin, and the last general will order someone to open the city gate to welcome the arrival of the imperial driver!" ”

As the city gate creaked open, Motoyasu came out with some soldiers.

"The last general meets the general!"

Li Bao waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, if it's late today, the imperial driver may have to stay in Tongguan, and ask General Yuan to order someone to clean up the room, and also to order someone to prepare for the camp of the army!" ”

Yuan Yasu immediately said: "The last general doesn't know the situation of the accompanying army, if he is not thoughtful enough to provoke the holy driver, he really can't afford to be guilty, please ask the general to preside over everything, and the last general will fully cooperate!" ”

Li Bao nodded: "That's very good!" ”

Next, Li Bao and Yuankang worked together to set up the camp and the emperor's palace before the arrival of Zhao Junsheng's army.

After dinner, Zhao Junsheng walked around the room in Tongguan City with his hands behind his back, thinking about the possible impact and damage after the rebellion, and thinking about what to do.

"Your Majesty, waiting for the lawsuit Wang Tanzhi to see!" Outside the door, the eunuch walked in to give a report.

Zhao Junsheng turned around, "Let him in!" ”

Wang Tanzhi walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the news of Dou Kui's rebellion only reached Chang'an at noon yesterday, the ministers of the imperial court were shocked, Pei Jin and others were worried that His Majesty had too few soldiers and horses, not enough to deal with the rebels, and wanted to send additional troops to reinforce, but they were stopped by Liang Lin and others, they thought that the scale of the rebels was not large, the power was still small, and there was no need to send additional troops, and because of the disaster relief matters, the treasury was already empty, if the additional troops were sent would be a large expense burden, I was afraid that the imperial court would not even be able to pass this year!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "The official news transmission is two days slower than that of the Houguan Division and the Imperial City Division, but the news of the local government should be more comprehensive, right?" ”

"Yes, the current waiting lawsuit has not received follow-up news, there is follow-up news of the rebels in the official letter submitted by the local government to the imperial court, the Hanoi Zhenjun army only arrived in Huai County the next morning, but the rebels have left Huai County before the arrival of the Hanoi Zhenshu army and headed east, and the Zhenshu army has now caught up!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, walked to the desk and took out a blank edict, dipped his pen in ink and thought for a moment to write down an edict to crusade against the rebels.

Zhao Junsheng rolled up the edict and put it into a long tube, and instructed the eunuch standing aside: "Yuan Lian, you bring a toothed dragon guard to accompany you, and carry this decree to Luoyang, Jijiao, Qizhou, Yecheng and other places to send an edict to the garrison army, and order them to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebels after receiving the order!" ”

"No!" The eunuch Yuan Lian bowed in agreement, stretched out his hands to take the edict and retreated.

Three days later, Yuan Jian took the edict and a dragon guard army to the north of Ruoyang to the north of Jin Yong City, this is the acropolis of Luoyang City, stationed in Gongwei Luoyang and the surrounding area of the town garrison army of 5,000 people, the leader of the army is the veteran general Lu Rail.

Lu Liang is sixty or thirty years old, he is still old and strong, he is the father of Lu Shuang, he has led the army for many years, has experienced countless wars, and there is no problem with loyalty.

Outside Kim Yong City, a group of cavalry came quickly with banners.

Seeing this, the guard on duty on the city wall frowned and said, "Under the banner of the emperor's envoy? Someone, hurry up and report to the general! ”

After a while, the team under the banner of the emperor's envoy came to the city, and the veteran Lu Liang also came to the city wall.

"Is General Lu available? Our family is Yuan Lian, a close attendant of His Majesty's side, and he came to announce the decree at the beheof of His Majesty! ”

Lu Liang saw that this group of men and horses had only one tooth, but the momentum was extraordinary, seeing that the equipment was unique to the Dragon Guard, he thought for a while and ordered: "Open the city gate, and the generals will follow me to meet the angels!" ”

Two moments later, Lu Liang and other generals led Yuan Jian and some Dragon Guard armor soldiers to the lobby.

Yuan Jian opened the edict, and Lu Liang and others bowed down to receive the edict together.

After reading it, Lu Liang and others responded loudly.

After getting up, Lu Liang asked, "Gonggong Yuan, can the veteran take a look at the edict?" ”

Yuan Jian was a little unhappy, "The old general suspects that there is something wrong with the edict?" ”

"No, no, my general is also for the sake of prudence, after all, the transfer of the army is not a trivial matter!" The master next to him hurriedly played a round.

Yuan Lian handed over the edict unhappily.

Lu Liang took it and looked at it, with a puzzled face, and pulled the master to the side and whispered: "Why is this edict changed like this?" Isn't it true or false? ”

The master took the edict and looked at it, looked up and said, "Don't worry, general, it will be clear when your subordinates ask!" ”
