Wang Haichao's hair stood on his back, and he knew that if he accepted it, he would be Gao Yue's "double agent".

But Gao Yue also directly promised him, you did a good job, give you a history of Xiongzhou assassination, and maybe you can go to the court after the full number of exams, and get a four-grade Beijing official - Pei Yanling, Li Qi and the like, what can you give you?

Gao Yue's words below made Wang Haichao directly have no room to patrol anymore, he was like a beast forced to the corner, looking at the hunting net and hunting fork, trembling, "After the matter is over, the king does not need to stay in the Yangtze Courtyard anymore, the patrol of this branch and the salt merchants need to be cleaned up, and this Dao is ready to let Xu Cang of Lingbiao come back to the court official." ”

Gao Yue's words were very plain, but they concealed an incomparably sharp blade.

Xu Can, who was originally a subordinate of the former prime minister Ban Hong, presided over the affairs of the Yangtze Patrol Academy, but when Dou Shen united with Zhang Pang, Pei Yanling and other financial bureaucrats, and Ban Hong fought for power, he instructed Yushi Tai to charge Xu Cang with corruption and exile his entire family to Lingnan.

Now that Gao Yue deliberately asked the resentful Xu Cang to come back and reinstate, I am afraid that the officials of the Yangtze Academy will not survive and be bloody.

"Knock".

Wang Haichao's head bowed directly in front of Gao Yue's knees, and he wailed, "I hope that the Duke of Weiguo will take my life......"

In the end, Wang Haichao received the order, took a boat, and crossed the river to Jingkou, but there was no room for it.

Gao Yue stayed in the house of the Yangtze Academy, thought silently, and then picked up his pen and wrote a letter in person, which he wanted to send to Jingshi.

Jingkou, in the field of the Ya Military Academy of the Naval Mansion, Wang Haichao, who came down from the boat, tended to walk in.

Under a huge mulberry tree on the northwest side of the school field, Li Qi, who was in his early fifties, sat on the bed in a military uniform and watched the soldiers perform martial arts.

Walked dozens of steps, but saw that Li Qi sat on the periphery, are all screen curtains, and there are more strong soldiers in the armor, standing next to the sword, this is Li Qi's thick raising, the tooth army in the tooth army, a total of four courtyards, each courtyard 300 people, that is, "the four courtyards with their children", its leader is the town of the navy Yuhou Han Yun.

Han Yun carried an arrow bag, held a long lance, and sat cross-legged in front of the military gate, like an evil ghost Shura, Wang Haichao couldn't help but tremble, and finally calmed down, and explained the reason to Han Yun clearly, and Han Yun entered to report.

After a long time, Wang Haichao was allowed to enter the curtain and met Li Qi.

When he got closer, he saw that there was a guard around Li Qi, and the left wingers were all strong bows and crossbows, and there were feathers inserted in their helmets, that is, "holding hard with him", and the leader was Li Qi's henchman Li Jun, who could hold a six-stone strong bow, send arrows through stones, and shoot all of them;

The right-wingers are all bearded Hu people, some are the ethnic group of "Liuzhou Hu" in the Central Plains, and some are Xi people who cross the sea from the Bohai Sea to vote, and they are not a tun, wearing spears and long knives, known as "Fan Luo Jian'er", headed by Li Qi's other henchman Xue Jie, this gentleman is galloping on horseback, can hold a long lance of three feet and six feet, and pierce the oranges on the treetops.

The number of these two special operations units is 250 each, and Li Qi is "ten times more than the one who is given to him", and his treatment is far superior to that of the Zhenhai Army, not to mention the foreign town army and the children of Unity, and they are all his backyard Langjun, calling himself "Father".

With this group of fake soldiers and horses, plus 5,000 towns of The Hague army, and the supply of military resources to the rich land of fifteen states, Li Qi was not afraid of Huainan Gaoyue at all, and proudly declared to his staff: Han Jin Gong used to have 30,000 town naval armor, which was enough to run rampant in the world, and now I also have eight points of strength, which is not enough to run rampant in the world, but it is enough to sit in Jiangdong.

"It's too modest!" Naturally, the staff members are blowing the conch again.

Wang Haichao carefully left the backyard on behalf of Yangzi and handed Gao Yue's document to Li Qi.

"Jun is the prefect of the Du Branch, why did he go to the foreign domain on behalf of Gao Yue?" Li Qi opened the envelope, shook out the paper, and asked Wang Haichao first.

Wang Haichao replied with a bitter face, since Wei Guogong sat in Huainan, he collected all the expenditures, salt and iron patrols, and used them for his own use.

"This Gao Wei Gong, what a big man!" Li Qi said dissatisfiedly.

As a result, after seeing Gao Yue's document, Li Qi was even more annoyed, "Gao Yue ordered me to send the ship from Jingkou to Yangzhou as soon as possible, why?" The three divisions of the imperial court are still there, and it is his turn to get a local marshal to give advice? ”

At this time, Wang Haichao simply knelt down with a bang, walked to Li Qi on his knees, and shouted: "Runshuai Runshuai, I have a ...... word"

Several Fan Luo athletes immediately grabbed Wang Haichao's collar, pressed his shoulders and hands, and prevented him from getting close to Li Qi.

"Say!"

"I understand all of Gao Yue's thoughts, and Xiao Pei, who is in the court, also understands that the two taxes, the rice and the salt and light goods in Jingkou will all be seized by him as long as they follow the ship to Gao Yue's Yangzhou......"

"You mean, Gao Yue wants to rebel?" Li Qi was shocked.

"Gao Yue may not be opposed, but he wants to trap Runshuai and you in rebellion. As long as he imitates the actions of Chen Shaoyou and Han Yun in the past and intercepts all the wealth, he can blackmail the court and convict Runshuai! ”

Li Qi suddenly understood that Gao Yue really had sinister intentions.

"However, if I don't send wealth to Yangzhou, it will be my reason."

"To send it or not to send it is a dead end. Today's plan is not to send the wealth to Yangzhou first, but to ask the imperial court and the holy lord to issue a ruling, and explicitly order this batch of wealth to be sent to Beijing for the crusade against Xifan, and not to be diverted for other purposes. ”

"Why?" Li Qi didn't react.

"Because if Gao Yue intercepts this batch of wealth, the excuse must be used for the needs of his Wu Yi army's expedition to Lingnan Dongman!"

"That's right." Li Qi knew that whether it was him or Gao Yue, there would be a fierce competition around this batch of wealth immediately, and they all needed a righteous name.

Under the corridor of the Zhenhai Navy, countless staff, military officials and accompanying soldiers followed behind the extremely nervous Li Qi, and the sound of footsteps shook the heavens and the earth, "Your Majesty, what Wang Haichao said may not be true, if we act rashly, we will give Gao Yue the truth." ”

Li Qi said: "Delay time, Gao Yue has connections in the court, and we also have them. Today's plan is to first prepare for war, and then watch the movement of the court. ”

"Runzhou Jingkou is too close to Yangzhou, and there is no danger to defend, for all plans, the stone city can be a retreat."

Stone City, that is, the Jiankang Jinling in the past, the ancient capital of several dynasties, when Han Rong was in charge of the town of the navy, he once thought that the emperor would "have Yongjia to cross the river", so he sent a large number of soldiers and people to build it, forming a strong barrier, ready to welcome the emperor in distress (of course, the emperor was finally rescued by Gao Yue, Wei Gao, Li Sheng, etc., and did not need to go to Stone Town as the second Sima Rui), and now Li Qi will use it as a second base, which is a good strategy.

Li Qi immediately made a decision and quickly sent 3,000 soldiers to Stone Town to occupy it first.

At the same time, he sent a post guard to deliver a letter, and he wanted to win over the assassins of various states and the soldiers and horses of the outer towns, so that they could stand on his side.

Later, Li Qi sent a letter to Jingshi, asking Pei Yanling, Li Qiyun and Li Shi for assistance, and asked the Jinjuan to take out all the gold silks and feed them to the other magnates and let them say good things about themselves.
