Chapter 232: Collaboration with the enemy

This time, the people behind the scenes are naturally not only him and Qu Zhang, but in terms of qualifications and previous positions, the two are the highest, and the grain business of the two companies is relatively large, so the mastermind is these two people, and the rest can only be regarded as participating.

However, speaking of which, although Jia Lingwei lost the command of the army, he could only hold an idle position in the Military Command Department. But after so many years, he has long understood that he is not a general who leads troops to fight, and he was transferred to the Command Department this time, so the fame in his heart has faded a lot, and he just wants to live a prosperous life in peace.

The reason why he participated in the planning of this matter this time was mainly because he was bewitched by Qu Zhang, and he was angry for a while, so he agreed, but at this time, he regretted it a little, for fear that Yang Xingmi would take out the same means as he did back then and kill them directly. But now that he's on the thief ship, where is there a way back?

"What's there? His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has deprived us of all our military powers, and transferred to the Military Command Department to be idle, and now we are just doing some business to make a small profit, what is the big deal? ”

"But this time the disturbance is not small, and there are more than 100,000 enemy troops pressing the border, in this case, what if the king ignores it and directly takes us to cut off our heads?" Jia Lingwei has some gains and losses.

"Don't worry, the king's temperament has become more and more calm in the past few years, and he will never kill people without evidence, especially for us meritorious veterans, and he will not move easily! What's more, we do things secretly, and the king may not be able to find out that we are doing it behind the scenes. Qu Zhang said disapprerovingly.

After all, Yang Xingmi's intelligence agency Changjian is not the Jinyiwei of later generations, and the main purpose of its establishment is to collect intelligence from the outside world, and it is not so strong in internal supervision, and its deterrent power is relatively insufficient. Moreover, since Fan Yu served as the commander of the Long Sword Capital, there seemed to be some problems within the Long Sword Capital, and this situation was accidentally learned by Qu Zhang, so he was even less worried in his heart.

General Jia Lingwei was still a little worried, Qu Zhang smiled: "If you are really worried, there is a simple way to protect yourself, after we go back, we will each write a book, and say that we are willing to donate 5,000 stone of grain for free, and then declare it in the market, we will definitely get a good name, so that the king will not be able to deal with us at will." ”

Jia Lingwei's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "This method is good." ”

Immediately, he asked with some concern: "Of course, this method can protect itself, but what if Huainan is defeated because of us?" After all, we have been working for the king for so many years, and Huainan can have today, and we have our credit in it! ”

"Do you think you're still the same commander you used to be? Still worrying about the king? Wake up! We're just doing it for ourselves. Qu Zhang sneered: "Moreover, I remember that you and Gao Ba were also brothers who worshipped the master, and the friendship was deep at the beginning." After all these years, don't you want to avenge him or something? ”

Jia Lingwei had the idea of a rich life, but Qu Zhang was different, he was originally the assassin of Qizhou, and after tasting the feeling of being in power, he let him go to the Military Command Department to serve as an idle position, and naturally he hated it in his heart, even more so than Jia Lingwei.

"That was all back then, what are you mentioning him now?" Jia Lingwei said with some displeasure.

Qu Zhang smiled and didn't mention it again, but said, "Okay, okay, don't mention the things of the year." However, now after all, it is the autumn harvest season, and it will not be long before the new grain from all over the country will be on the market, so this time the turmoil in Guangling, even if the Jiedu Envoy does nothing, I am afraid it will not be long before it will subside. After two days, regardless of whether the grain price control is lifted or not, we will sell the grain we have hoarded in our hands, and don't have problems in our hands. ”

"Okay, so would you like to remind the others? Let them also sell their food. Jia Lingwei asked.

"No need, wouldn't it be nice to let them cover for us?" Qu Zhang said with a smile.

……

"Hey, I'm getting older, but I'm getting less and less courageous!"

Leaving Jia Lingwei's mansion, Qu Zhang recalled Jia Lingwei's expression just now, and couldn't help but shake his head, expressing deep disdain for Jia Lingwei.

He turned to an ordinary-looking old man beside him and said: "Go back and tell your king, just say that Guangling is short of food, and the reorganization of the army may take at least a month to complete, but these are just small troubles for the Huainan army, if the situation is urgent, they can still send troops within a month." So your king wants to take Huzhou as soon as possible! Also, I promised the general, I hope your king will not forget! ”

The old man nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it." As for the conditions for agreeing to the general, please rest assured that the king of my family will not forget! In addition, the king of my family also hopes that the general can provide information about the character, ability and other aspects of Li Tao, the assassin of Huzhou. ”

Qu Zhang nodded and said, "Li Tao?" No problem, I'll tell you about his specific situation later. ”

In the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, there has been no conclusion on how to deal with Qu Zhang, Jia Lingwei and others.

Among the people, some people think that extraordinary methods should be practiced when it is extraordinary, and thunderous means should be used to directly arrest a few people, and as for the evidence, it can be collected later; Some are relatively safe, advocating that a few people be supervised first, and then arrest people when evidence is collected.

However, because Yang Xingmi insisted on having evidence before Qu Zhang and the others could be moved, after some discussion, they could only let Fan Yu strengthen surveillance, continue to collect evidence, and prevent them from causing more incidents.

In terms of dealing with the enemy from three directions, Yang Xingmi gave Li Tao, Chen Zhixin and Li Yu orders to hold on to them and wait for reinforcements, and gave an order to Li Chenghe, who was stationed in Shouzhou, to lead his cameras to relieve the siege of Gwangju.

In fact, there is no need to worry about the situation in the north, and the main problem is Quzhou and Huzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

After the reorganization of the armed forces, the number of state soldiers in various states has increased somewhat, and in general, the number of soldiers in the border states ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 or 9,000. In the Yawai Army and the Waizhen Army, according to today's plan, Li Chenghe's troops are stationed in Shouzhou and Taimeng are stationed in Chuzhou, and these two armies are respectively responsible for the east and west wings of the northern defense line; Wang Maozhang was stationed in Xuanzhou and was in charge of the states south of the Yangtze River; The remaining three armies led by Li Shenfu, Zhou Ben and Yang Wu were stationed in Guangling as the Yawai Army.

Among them, Tai Meng and Li Chengsi received more attention because they were stationed in the north, so the progress of the reorganization was faster; And because Wang Maozhang's department returned from Qingzhou not long ago, the reorganization situation was naturally much slower; As for the Li Shenfu Ministry, because it has been at war, it has not been reorganized until now.

In general, with the 40,000 elite mobile forces of Li Chengsi and Tai Meng, as long as Zhu Quanzhong does not go south, there is no need to worry about the situation in the north.

The current situation in the south is more severe, on the side of Shezhou, although the Jiangxi soldiers have not fought for many years, their combat effectiveness is questionable, but after all, there are 60,000 troops, and they are not easy to provoke; As for Huzhou, there were only 5,000 state soldiers stationed there, and although Qian Biao only had 30,000 troops, Yang Wu and others were even more jealous of him.

Therefore, while letting the two places hold on to help, Yang Xingmi quickly ordered Shi Yan to be the general and Hou Zan to be the deputy, leading 2,000 cavalry south to reinforce Huzhou, mainly to harass and contain the siege speed of Qian Biao's army.

After doing all this, Yang Xingmi could only watch the performance of Li Tao and Chen Zhixin in defending the city.

As for the proposal to kill Gu Quanwu and Qian Chuanyu mentioned by someone, it was vetoed by Yang Xingmi as soon as it was proposed.

Qian Chuanhui is already engaged to his daughter, and he has no plans to ruin this marriage; As for Gu Quanwu, after all, he came to Guangling in the name of an envoy, so it was not easy to kill him.

However, it is necessary to supervise the two of them, and a famous general like Gu Quanwu naturally can't be easily put back.

When the matter was decided, they took their leave.

Yang Wu was about to go outside the city to inspect the reorganization of the army, but was stopped by everyone.

"Shizi, the king's generosity is well known, but this time it is a little inappropriate for Qu Zhang and the others! That Qu Zhang is in charge of logistics in the Command Division, if he secretly does something, the consequences will be unimaginable! Gao Miao whispered.

"Yes! The king misses the old feelings and doesn't want to do anything to these veterans, but now that the enemy army is pressing the border and the situation is sinister, at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince should stand up and persuade the king to do so, or directly order these people to be arrested, and they must not continue to let them go! On the side, Yan Keqiu also bowed down and suggested.

Regarding Yang Xingmi's insistence, these old ministers were moved by his benevolence in their hearts, but also had some different opinions on his approach, so they all found Yang Wu at this time.

Yang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly, to be honest, he also wanted to take down Qu Zhang and the others directly, knowing that they were secretly spreading rumors, and they were still obsessed with evidence, isn't this self-restraint?

However, because of Liu Rengui's matter and many other things, there have been many differences between Yang Wu and Yang Xingmi.

And every disagreement often ends with his proposition being recognized by Yang Xingmi. This time, in the face of Yang Xingmi's insistence, Yang Wu couldn't bear to refute his opinion again.

So he thought about it and said, "Since my father insists on having evidence before he can do it, then let's find some evidence for him." Fan Yu, this matter will be handed over to you, I think you can do it, okay? ”

Yang Wu glanced at Fan Yu meaningfully, and Yan Keqiu and the others also understood what he meant, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

But at this moment, Yin Wengui suddenly walked out, saw that everyone was still there, and hurriedly said: "Shizi, my lords, just now, Qu Zhang and Jia Lingwei wrote separately, saying that they were willing to donate 5,000 stone of grain each to help the Jiedu Embassy tide over the difficulties, and now this news has spread all over the streets, and the people have praised the righteous deeds of the two. Therefore, the king told Commander Fan that there must be solid evidence to arrest Qu Zhang and others, and they must not be fabricated! The king will personally inquire when the time comes! ”
