After Qin Qiong and Zang Min began to fight, Liu Bowen had been observing the situation and found that Zang Min was just blindly guarding Shouchun, no matter what the point was, he did not choose to abandon the city, so Liu Bowen had already guessed Zang Min's plan.

"It seems that Zang Min is waiting for reinforcements to come to save him, but now that there is General Xue's attack in other places in Yangzhou, they are already too busy to take care of themselves, and now it is not bad like Zang Min asking for help. It seems that they are like Sun Jian asking for help, and it seems that it is time to start this preparatory plan. After analyzing for a while, Liu Bowen immediately made a decision.

Now, the situation on Yangzhou's side is almost on Lu Rui's side, as long as there is no accident that is too outrageous, it is only a matter of time before Yangzhou is taken by Lu Rui.

And on this day, Lu Rui received a letter from the imperial court, and after seeing the letter, Lu Rui's face immediately sank, and the content on it was - His Majesty Emperor Ling died, please return to Luoyang as soon as possible to pay respects.

"Damn, you don't have to think about it to know that it's a murder, but I don't know who did it, this time Luoyang is really going to be in chaos, without the backer of Emperor Han Ling, the Ten Standing Servants are basically an empty shell now, I'm afraid that He Jin will make a move to the Ten Standing Servants now, this time to recruit me into Beijing, I'm afraid it will also be a Hongmen banquet, it seems to be a test!" After looking at the letter, Lu Rui thought to himself in his heart.

It's just that Lu Rui can't help but go to such a thing, after all, he is still nominally a courtier of the Han Dynasty now, if he doesn't go, it won't be so fun to be used to make a fuss about it, so this time Lu Rui knows that even if it is a Hongmen banquet, he will have to break through.

It's just that Lu Rui naturally couldn't go like this, so he called Guo Jia over to see if Guo Jia had any good coping strategies.

After Guo Jia came, he looked at the letter, and naturally knew what Lu Rui called him for, so he said to Lu Rui: "Lord, don't worry, you just have to go, presumably this He Jin will not do anything to you, after all, His Majesty the Spirit Emperor has just left, and this He Jin wants to cover the sky with one hand in such a short period of time, and he doesn't have that much ability." Besides, even if He Jin has the intention to leave you, he may not be able to keep it, General Lu has the following of General Chengdu, Jia has heard General Xue's description before, and he doesn't have such a great ability to leave General Chengdu behind. ”

"Well, what Feng Xiao said is extremely true, now that we are at war with Yangzhou, it is impossible to bring too much combat power to Luoyang, and we must leave enough strength to deal with emergencies, so in this case, let Chengdu go with me this time, I believe that with the strength of the two of us, even if it is among thousands of troops, we can kill him seven in and seven out." Lu Rui thought about it and nodded at Guo Jia and said.

"But my lord, there is one thing you need to pay attention to, this Spirit Emperor His Majesty was still relatively tough when he saw it before according to you, and I haven't heard any news that His Majesty the Spirit Emperor is seriously ill during this time, I am worried that there is something strange about His Majesty the Spirit Emperor this time." Guo Jia said to Lu Rui.

"Hehe, it seems that Feng Xiao has also noticed, that's right, I think so too, His Majesty the Spirit Emperor died too suddenly, the conspiracy in this is only deeper than we imagined, this time after going to Luoyang, maybe it will fall into it, and we need to be careful." Lu Rui nodded, indicating that he agreed with Guo Jia's opinion.

"Lord, just in case, let General Pei go with you this time! With the joint efforts of General Pei and General Chengdu, they can respond most quickly in case of any emergency, and there are General Yang and General Puyu here in Xuzhou, as well as General Ziyun's white-robed ghost pawn, so there will be no big problem in thinking about it, so this time I will transfer General Pei back to go with you! After all, we don't know what's going on in Luoyang, and we must be more prepared when we don't know anything. Guo Jia thought for a while, and then said to Lu Rui.

"Well, what Feng Xiao said is very reasonable, then since this is the case, transfer Pei Yuanqing back immediately, and we will set off immediately after he returns, after all, such a thing as the emperor's death is a major event that cannot be delayed." Lu Rui commanded Guo Jia.

"Don't worry, my lord, leave it to me! We must bring General Pei back as quickly as possible. After Guo Jia finished speaking, he left here.

After Guo Jia left, Lu Rui called Yuwen Chengdu again, and after telling Yuwen Chengdu about Emperor Ling's death and his plans, Yuwen Chengdu said to Lu Rui: "Don't worry, lord!" Even if I, Yuwen Chengdu, am on the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and my bones are broken on the battlefield, I will definitely do my best to protect your safety. It's impossible for him to keep me. ”

"Chengdu, I know your ability, and I am not a powerless scholar, no matter how many people He Jin transfers, the place in Luoyang City is limited after all, and it is not easy to keep us. If it was just He Jin, I wouldn't tell you, because I have absolute confidence in your ability, but I'm worried that there are other people in this matter who are being manipulated, you must know that open guns are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. No matter how much He Jin wants to deal with us, it is nothing more than to gather thousands of troops to surround and intercept us, these are all on the surface, and we will also be prepared when facing He Jin, but the person who is likely to be hiding behind him has been hiding in the shadows, if he wants to do it, I am afraid that we will give our lives without any awareness in the end, can you be mentally prepared for this situation? Lu Rui looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said to Yuwen Chengdu.

"Lord, you treated me well before, or that sentence, Chengdu will follow you to the death, if Chengdu chooses to retreat because of such a little thing, then what qualifications do I have to be called a husband in this life." Yuwen Chengdu looked at Lu Rui and said to Lu Rui.

"Okay, then since that's the case, then you go and prepare first, and when General Pei arrives, we will go on the road together, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den this time, we will also go to break through." I believe that as long as we join forces, no one in the world will be able to stop us. Lu Rui looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said to Yuwen Chengdu.

"The Admiral understands!" After Yuwen Chengdu arched his hand, he left.

After Yuwen Chengdu left, Lu Rui had been thinking about something, but Guo Jia's words before reminded Lu Rui that he didn't know anything about what happened in the Luoyang Imperial Court now. This incident also just shows that his intelligence network is very lacking now, and the intelligence network is very powerful in many cases, Lu Rui knows that it is time for him to cultivate his own intelligence network.

"System, I remember that Yuwen Chengdu has already given me a list before, so I still have a chance to summon, can I choose to spy on intelligence as the designated summon, and then this person will arrive in Luoyang before us to spy on intelligence?" Lu Rui called the system out and asked at the system.

"Back to the host, as I said before, when the system implants the identity, it will give priority to what the host needs most, so it can be done if you are sent to the Luoyang Imperial Court." The system said to Lu Rui.

"That's good, that's the case, consume that summoning opportunity, and summon me a person who is good at spying on intelligence, since Yuwen Chengdu just blew up the table that time to give me an ordinary person who can't even call his name, this time the summoning opportunity can't even come to a guy who can't even call his name, otherwise it will be too unrighteous Uncle System." Lu Rui said to the system.

"Ding! Consume this summoning opportunity, the designated range is intelligence spying, and it is being extracted for the host, please ...... later"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ...... of Li Yuanfang, the captain of the guard to which Di Renjie belonged in the Tang Dynasty" (to be continued.) )
