Chapter 33: Conspiracy
"Okay, there is no need to say much about this matter, everyone knows that kid is our enemy, and now we must quickly send someone to send the news to Beiping Mansion for this matter, so that Grandpa Guo can adjust the deployment." Zhao Zhengkang said lightly.
"What Lord Zhao said is very true, we are all our own people, so I will say it bluntly, everyone knows the deployment of the grandfather of the country, that is, to find a way to make this Yellow River burst the embankment, so that the emperor has no time to reorganize the army, and create opportunities for the great cause of the grandfather, so the kid surnamed Ling is a variable, we can't just wait for the grandfather to adjust, we should also send someone to send the news to the second prince in the mountains near Kaifeng Mansion, and the people and horses on their side are the key." Qian Xunyan is colorful.
This kind of plan is very chilling, sacrificing the lives of so many people to weaken the power of the court and create opportunities for the so-called great cause of the Zhao family, but everyone here has already boarded the thief ship, not to mention that no one thinks that the Zhao family will fail, after all, they have strong soldiers, and now the court is a little weak, which makes them all see the possibility of success, and they are very loyal to plan for the Zhao family.
"What Lord Qian said is very true, when the time comes, the Ministry of Industry will definitely send people to rebuild after the disaster, and I can privately recruit some strong homeless people to send them to the grandfather of the country to form an army, and the court is estimated to spend a lot of energy to help the victims, and Huang Shilang of the household department can take good action in this regard." Ye Pingjiao said with a smile.
"There is no problem with this, now the grain stocks of the household department are about to bottom out, and it will definitely not be enough at that time, maybe there will be chaos in Henan, and Grandpa Guo can go out of the famous division to quell the chaos, maybe he can also collect all the land in Henan." Huang Shilang smiled faintly, his name is Huang Jianren, he is the left waiter of the household department, and he is attached to the Qian family.
"Hmph, Your Majesty also sent that old guy from Ling Yuefeng to sit in Shanhaiguan, do you think that the grandfather of the country will not dare to move, if the Central Plains is in chaos, what is the use of seeing you Ling Yuefeng in charge, it just so happens that the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion is my protégé, and he will also send him a letter when the time comes, and then he will entertain that little friend." Zhao Zhengkang said, as a secretary of the ministry, natural protégés are all over the world, although not all, but many local officials are his people, including Lin Ou, the prefect of Kaifeng.
"In this way, send someone to deliver the letter today, and the grandfather of the country, the second son, and Lin Ou must send people, and they must be fast, especially the people from Kaifeng Mansion, and let them receive it as soon as possible." Qian Xunyan said, their Qian family's business is all over the country, and it is much faster to send news through the business network than the imperial court station.
"Then let's do it today, if there is anything to discuss in the future, pay attention to it when you leave, the Inner Guard Mansion is not a dry meal." Zhao Zhengkang saw that the matter was almost the same, so he asked everyone to go back, the Neiwei Mansion in his mouth is the emperor's intelligence agency, it is very powerful, every time they get together, they are careful and careful, and even sometimes except for a few Shangshu, others are not convened, so as not to be exposed, a few Shangshu anyway, the emperor knows, but the emperor is also unable to deal with them, as long as there is no real rebellion against the emperor, it is helpless.
After speaking, everyone left cautiously in batches, and soon people went to hollow out, and the personnel of the Internal Guard Mansion who were watching outside could not get close to check, so they didn't get any useful information, and they only saw those few Shangshu.
Soon a day passed, this day was the day when Ling Yu was going to set off, bidding farewell to his wife and concubines and friends, Ling Yu led a company of men and horses towards Kaifeng Mansion, July was summer, the sun was very hot, Ling Yu had to let the sergeants put away their armor, so as not to suffer from heat stroke, the march on a hot day was indeed not easy, but fortunately, the new army was trained for a long time.
When there was no rifle distribution, in addition to the basic queue training, the most was a long-distance march and training, all the counties under the rule of Ying Tianfu ran all over, and finally it was to train the stab, of course, when the rifle was not issued, they used the previous kind of long spear, and cut the length into the length of the rifle with the bayonet, about 1.8 meters long, the rifle was about 1.5 meters, and the bayonet was 30 cm long.
This walk is more than ten days, this is still because of the magic talisman, the road is a trekking through mountains and rivers, a difficult stroke, Ling Yu thinks that it is not appropriate to suggest that the emperor repair the road, of course the official road is gained, but compared to the mountain road is indeed too little, and it is still in disrepair, fortunately, after entering the boundary of Henan, it is a plain, and it is a lot better, but because it is a rainy day, it is more muddy.
Outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion, Lin Ou, the prefect who had already received the news sent by Ling Yu, led the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the big families in the city to wait a few hundred meters outside the city gate, he had already received a letter from Zhao Zhengkang, and naturally he would not go out to greet ten miles according to the etiquette of the Qin Mission, he felt that it was already very face-saving to come out to greet him, anyway, it was estimated that the young boy did not understand.
Ling Yu really didn't understand, he was a little flattered at first, he had never been an official in two lifetimes, and he was also this kind of ancient official, which fully made him realize the so-called privileges of the official class, but just because he didn't understand it didn't mean that others didn't understand.
Luo Quan, as a veteran soldier, is now the commander of a company in Ling Yu's new army, he naturally heard some people say some Qin cha understanding, seeing that Lin Ou is so big, he secretly told Ling Yu in private.
Ling Yu's originally reserved and smiling face was instantly cold, but it was not easy to attack now, so he had to follow a group of officials and gentry into the city with a straight face, and then there was a tedious way to catch the wind and wash the dust, etc.
Lin Ou naturally saw the changes in Ling Yu before and after, but he didn't care, even if he knew, who told you not to find out at first, you knew from the beginning that you scolded me for being unruly and said in the past, and now it's all in, you don't dare to say it if you know it, and if you say it, it will reveal your ignorance. vp
After receiving the wind, Lin Ou originally wanted to arrange for Ling Yu to live in the prefect's yamen, but Ling Yu refused, and had a business with Lin Ou, so he returned to the military camp outside the city, taking this place as a messenger, Lin Ou did not insist, Ling Yu's request He also agreed, saying that he would send someone to take Ling Yu and others to inspect the river embankment tomorrow.
After Ling Yu left, Lin Ou's smiling face also turned cold, and he silently instructed his subordinates to send a letter to Zhao Ergongzi, who was hiding in the mountains and forests near Kaifeng Mansion, explaining the situation of Qin Cha.
Ling Yu returned to the camp, arranged the defense measures and sentry posts with a cold face, and then returned to his Qincha camp tent and began to think about countermeasures, this Lin Governor's attitude today is obviously not in the right way with himself, as for whether he is the Zhao family or the Qian family, Ling Yu is too lazy to explore, just know that this person has a problem.
"It seems that the sergeants of the first company are the most important, and the local garrison force probably can't believe it, if there is really something, it would be good if they didn't turn against each other, well, stabilize the place first, if there is something, rely on the new barracks company." Ling Yu thought about it, he had full confidence in the new army he had trained, this was the mainland, and it was estimated that the scale of the incident would not be very large.
Ling Yu was thinking about countermeasures here, in the depths of the mountains and forests in the night outside, there were piles of bonfires, because the mountains and forests were dense, they would definitely not be visible outside, if they looked down from the sky, the continuous camp tents, I am afraid that there were no less than 1,000 people here.
In the main account, a young man who looked seven or eight points similar to Zhao Bohan was tapping his fingers on the table in front of him, and he looked at the person in front of him who came to report the news: "What else does Lord Lin have to explain besides the secret letter?" ”
"Back to the second son, Lord Lin has no other explanation." The sender replied respectfully.
"Well, then you can go down, rest for the night, and go back tomorrow." The second son said.
"Yes, the little one." With a respectful salute, the messenger withdrew from the tent.
"Yan Zhongdao, what do you think?" The second son casually asked a middle-aged man standing beside him.
"Second son, in my opinion, we should be safer, Lord Lin's letter did not explain the current strength of the Qincha, this time the Qincha honor guard is very strange, in the past, at least 3,000 Guards soldiers were brought as escorts, but this time the little Qincha only brought less than 300 people, which is very strange, and it is recommended to send our own people to observe clearly before making plans." Yan Zhongdao said.
"Hmph, there are less than three hundred people, and Mr. Yan is afraid? Even if my father said that they have any secret weapons, it doesn't matter, we have more than 1,500 people hiding here, five times more than him, why be so timid, we have been here for almost a month, seeing that the heavens are beautiful, things are getting closer and closer to success, but there is a variable, why don't you hurry up and wait for him to invite you to dinner? The second prince said arrogantly, although these people he brought did not wear military uniforms, they were also elite border troops, with complete armaments, and the lowest were third-level spirit masters, so of course he had the capital to be arrogant.
"In this case, how to do it according to the second son's wishes?" Yan Zhongdao shook his head in his heart, this second son, Zhao Botao, is really frivolous, he is not as old as his brother at all, if it weren't for eating, drinking and having fun at home, Grandpa Guo couldn't stand it, and he wouldn't have sent him to carry out the task, it would have been okay, but now the situation has changed a little, and I don't know if Grandpa Guo's decision is right or not, even if Grandpa Guo wants to adjust, I'm afraid it's too late.
"According to the meaning of this son, tomorrow and tonight, I will take their boat and car to kill them first, and it will be good to pretend to be a bandit to commit the crime, and there will be no variables except for them." Zhao Botao said very indifferently.
"Ouch, my second son, I can't help it, the weather is not suitable for this tonight, not to mention that something happens as soon as people come, the emperor will inevitably investigate it deeply, Grandpa Guo is not ready, so it will be bad." Yan Zhongdao was anxious, why are these two sons so out of tune, the emperor will send Ling Yu over, only to bring such a little people, who doesn't rely on anyone to believe, do things and then act.
"In that case, Mr. Yan, you should make a charter." Zhao Botao was talking nonsense, so Yan Zhongdao didn't care about opposing him, and directly kicked the ball to him, anyway, he decided to do it, and the credit was his own, he shared the profit at most, and if he did it badly, the black pot just gave him his back.
Yan Zhongdao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Bohan say this, this unobtrusive guy fortunately wouldn't insist on going his own way, otherwise Yan Zhongdao didn't know what would happen, but Yan Zhongdao also realized Zhao Bohan's scheming, and said in his heart: "It seems that this unobtrusive second son is not so stupid." ”
