"Mr. Cen?" Hu Xiaosi secretly ran to Cen Tianshi's house in the evening, took out a piece of information from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This is the latest information from the Eastern Capital." ”

"Little Four, why do you think you're mysterious lately, have you done something bad behind your back? Shouldn't this information be sent to the General Staff? Could it be people's livelihood information? Cen Tianshi opened himself to look while chatting, but after not reading a few words, he suddenly stood up, and said in his mouth: "How true is this information?" ”

"It's true, Biao Zi has secretly explored many times from Luoyang to Bianzhou, Zhu Quanzhong is indeed ready to abolish the emperor at the beginning of next year and stand on his own, Zheng Fan has now secretly made preparations for the early sealing of Zen with Jiang Xuanhui and others. According to the news from Biaozi, Zheng Fan's best strategy was to let Emperor Chan give it to him, which could avoid the mouths of the people of the world. If this plan fails, Zheng Fan will prepare to force the palace, and then find someone to replace the dead ghost to bear the responsibility for killing the emperor. Hu Xiaosi smiled bitterly: "Zheng Fan's plan is estimated to have been found for the dead ghost at this moment, and the biggest possibility is that Han Quanhai, the leader of the eunuchs." This time, Han Quanhai noticed it first, and then I put the eyeliner in the palace to see the clues. ”

"In that case, let's go to the lord quickly, shall we? This is no small matter. Cen Tianshi nodded and said, "We have to move quickly and see if we can get some out of Zhu Quanzhong, and the most important thing is that now is also the time to cut off with the Eastern Capital Imperial Court." ”

"Sir, you wait first, I came to you to discuss this matter with you. Do you want us to slow down on this matter? Hu Xiaosi hurriedly grabbed Cen Tianshi and explained: "If the lord knows about this matter, our Tiance Army will inevitably start fighting with Zhu Quanzhong immediately, wouldn't this be a big deal for Zhu Quanzhong?" Besides, if Zhu Quanzhong, the court of Luoyang, doesn't solve him, sooner or later he will let us do it ourselves. I think it's better to let someone else do this kind of thing, and the guilt of killing the emperor is not small. At least the lord's clan identity can be perfect, and there will be one more reason to fight with Zhu Quanzhong next year. ”

"Little four, this matter is different, if Zhu Quanzhong succeeds in killing the emperor or Chan Rang in the future, then he will occupy the initiative politically, and his Liang Wangfu will become the imperial court, and we will become a fanbang, and suddenly become a master-slave relationship. With the support of military power, even if we exterminate the people of the world, they will think that we are traitors. Cen Tianshi's political sensitivity is much higher than Hu Xiaosi's, so he is eager to find Li Xuanqing. Although it is not easy to deal with the matter of looking for Li Xuanqing, now that the two armies are almost unanimously preparing for war, telling Li Xuanqing at this time will inevitably distract him from military preparations and give more consideration to political factors, which is a result that Cen Tianshi does not want to see.

"Little Four, what else can you do? Tell me if you have a backhand in Dongdu? After pondering for a long time, Cen Tianshi slowly sat down and stared at Hu Xiaosidao.

"There are two, I have already asked Biaozi to rush from Bianzhou to the Eastern Capital, and Li Jipeng has temporarily stayed in Bianzhou to replace Biaozi. All the personnel of the Dragon Group were transferred into Luoyang, and Xiaohu was also allowed to secretly carry out activities in Henan Province with most of the Flying Eagle Brigade. Hu Xiaosi said his plan in one hundred and fifty-one.

"This is your deployment, I don't want the process, I want the result." Cen Tianshi ignored this when he heard this.

"Okay, I'm going to ask Biao Zi to find a way to assassinate Taifu Cui Yin and others who are close to Zhu Quanzhong in Luoyang, create local chaos, and force Zheng Fan to make a stupid move. If it doesn't work, he will instigate Han Quanhai to go to extremes and assassinate the emperor, so that Zhu Quanzhong will have no way to complete the final Fengzen and bear the notoriety of killing the emperor. Hu Xiaosi explained.

"Is there a full-fledged plan?" Cen Tianshi nodded, he didn't care about the emperor's life and death, he just wanted to sabotage Zhu Quanzhong's plan, if there was a chance, it would be in the interests of Tiance Mansion to press Zhu Quanzhong for the crime of killing the emperor.

"I personally went to Luoyang to take command, and this matter must be guaranteed to be foolproof." Hu Xiaosi stood up and said: "Our Tiance Army has been fighting in the north and south since it became an army, seeking survival for the people, and seeking reunification for the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Little Si, don't worry, I understand what you mean, if the lord asks about this matter, I will help you cover and give you a month to complete this important matter." Cen Tianshi nodded and said solemnly: "At this time, it is related to the great plan of my Tiance Mansion, there must be no accidents, and all means can be taken when necessary, understand?" ”

"Please rest assured, sir, Xiaosi will definitely complete the task and will not disappoint the expectations of your brothers." Hu Xiaosi also solemnly hugged his fists.

Cen Tianshi nodded and said: "The movement over there will not be big a year ago, you let Biaozi monitor it, I will arrange it immediately, I will get married in a few days, and then you will find a way to coordinate with the General Staff, don't participate in the meeting after the year, and go directly to the Eastern Capital." ”

"In that case, I'll go and prepare." Hu Xiaosi didn't say much, stood up and said goodbye and left.

As soon as Hu Xiaosi left, Cen Tianshi sat there alone, and was silent for a long time before leaving the study and walking out. The secret plan of the two later completely changed the situation of competing with Zhu Quanzhong, so that Zhu Quanzhong, who had always held the biggest trump card in politics, became the finger of Wanfu overnight, and directly merged the huge area after the war into Tiance Mansion in one fell swoop.

It's just that Hu Xiaosi's wedding was in a hurry, so that many generals of the Tiance Army who hadn't come back missed the wedding. On the second day, that is, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Hu Xiaosi began to greet his family, and advanced the original wedding date by more than ten days. Gesang also changed into Hanfu, and under the farewell of his father and brother who came from northern Tibet, he set off from the post house and was paraded by Hu Xiaosi's sedan chair, and then transferred to his own mansion in Qinrenfang. The lively wedding made Chang'an City happy all day, and Qin Yao of the logistics department brought his latest fireworks to play four big words in the night sky of Chang'an: Happy newlywed. Such a nondescript blessing in this era can be seen at a glance as Li Xuanqing's handiwork, but this fireworks show also opened the eyes of the people of Chang'an City and drove the hot sale of fireworks and firecrackers after the war. It's just that gunpowder has not yet been banned in this era, and the production process is also very dangerous, so it will be in short supply.

The second day of marriage is Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve of the high-level Tiance Mansion convened by Li Xuanqing, there is basically no major event in Chang'an City, thousands of families are busy with their own New Year's Festival, except for the garrison on duty, almost all the rest are on holiday, and the barracks are also full of singing and laughing, the day of the year's hard conquest is the most carefree, the festival materials delivered by the logistics department to the troops are piled up, and today's army is no longer the era of lack of food and clothing at every turn. The welfare of the Tiance Army has also increased with the changes in the internal economic situation, and these soldiers are also nicknamed big-headed soldiers by the outside world, which means that they are fat and strong because of the better food.

On the fifth day of the first month of 891, the leader of Xuanyingwei hurriedly explained the general situation in Chang'an, and then disappeared with Princess Gesang on the grounds of accompanying his new wife to the beach for a vacation, and left for more than two months.

However, Hu Xiaosi and Cen Tianshi's methods still failed to hide Li Xuanqing, almost as soon as Hu Xiaosi left Li Xuanqing, he noticed it, and in desperation, Cen Tianshi could only tell him. This news shocked Li Xuanqing and began to feel that he was afraid that his Tiance army was too powerful, which made Zhu Quanzhong instinctively feel that he had lost the confidence to win, so he would start in advance, trying to use the imperial power to strengthen himself and achieve the purpose of competing with the Tiance army.

But looking back, it is also that the sudden rise of this world itself is equivalent to interrupting the process of unification in the northwest, but objectively it also prompted Zhu Quanzhong to speed up the offensive in the Central Plains.

After figuring this out, Li Xuanqing was no longer curious about Zhu Quanzhong's actions, but wondered how this guy planned to deal with the anger of the Tiance Army? You must know that the strategic layout of the Xuanwu Army has been formed at this moment, and even the allocation of troops has been basically completed, and you just need to wait for the New Year to pass and immediately enter the implementation stage. To crack this strategy, the only way to solve this strategy is to bring troops in from the outside, in other words, to introduce new forces to participate in the competition, but at this moment, the entire land of China is qualified to participate in this level of princes at all.

As Li Xuanqing's vision gradually shifted northward, a new enemy gradually surfaced, perhaps according to Zheng Fan's assumption, Chen Fan's previous guess should be true. The people of the Gang have already been successfully moved by the other party, otherwise according to the wisdom of Xie Tong and the others, they would not be able to see that this is a dead end.

"So it seems that we really have to fight on two fronts." Li Xuanqing pointed to the map and smiled bitterly at Yang Tiancheng and Cen Tianshi beside him: "Zhu Quanzhong must have said that he will move the people of the south to the south, it seems that the task of our northern line is heavier than that of the southern front." ”

"Let Chen Fan rush back to Jizhou in advance, let him supervise the entire northern defense line, inform Taxi and let him find a way to find out the specific time of the dispatch of troops from the royal court of Jizhou, and form a group army on the northern front with the Jizhou heavy cavalry battalion as the core, and mobilize the Fifth Army, the Seventh Army, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army to go north to form 200,000 cavalry to meet the Huangzhou."

"No problem, I'll find Tianxiang immediately to issue an emergency order from the General Staff." Yang Tiancheng nodded and said, "In this way, will our joint meeting after the New Year start early?" ”

"Yes, because the General Staff has to formulate a battle plan and army transfer, so for the army, your plan doesn't need to be said, just send a record to the chief of civil affairs, the focus is to adjust the deployment of the troops in Youzhou, Bingzhou and Hezhong, the three northern provinces, Tiancheng and Houchun and Wan Yi on the Western Front must be prepared, Xie Tong will not be so easy to deal with, this is his desperate method, so no matter what Zhu Quanzhong thinks, Xie Tong will definitely do his best."

"My lord, will convening a joint meeting in advance make Zhu Quanzhong alert?" Cen Tianshi said with a frown.

"Sir, rest assured, this level of competition is not a conspiracy at one time and one place, but a real fight between the two sides at the strategic level, and it doesn't matter whether Zhu Quanzhong knows it or not." Li Xuanqing waved his hand and said: "From tomorrow onwards, the military and political authorities will immediately end their vacation, and all personnel must be on duty." Let the Xuanying Guard's left-behind personnel contact the grassland branch to assist Taxi in finding out the news, and they must find out the movements of the Qiangsi people, otherwise the potential defense line is not to mention 200,000 troops, even 2 million is not enough, especially the Fengzhou region is the strongest economic development area in our Tiance Prefecture, and it cannot be destroyed in the war. ”

"That's fine, I'll immediately notify the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Law Court, start preparations now, and start the joint meeting on time tomorrow morning." After Cen Tianshi heard Li Xuanqing's words, he immediately began to go out to prepare. And Yang Tiancheng immediately convened an emergency meeting of the people from the war department to convey Li Xuanqing's meaning and inform Xu Tianxiang.

After Hu Xiaosi left, the Chang'an base camp quickly entered a tense state, and all the senior generals who came back to attend the meeting felt the strong atmosphere of war in the General Staff Headquarters, and these people have almost spent the past few years in the war, and their noses are more sensitive than dogs, and they quickly discovered the clues.

At this time, Hu Xiaosi led a team of entourage dressed as ordinary people and quietly entered the eastern capital to start arranging, and the leader of the Xuan Yingwei who was originally lurking in the eastern capital and Su Xiaohu, the flying eagle brigade wandering outside the city, also received the message and rushed back to Luoyang.

After gathering these people, Hu Xiaosi directly proposed a plan that surprised everyone: to kill the courtiers who were close to Zhu Quanzhong in the Luoyang court.

"Boss, is this the other way around? Our move is undoubtedly to tell Xuanwu Jun that they know their plan, what if they want to do something else at that time? Isn't it a scare for a snake? Biao Zi objected to Hu Xiaosi's simple and crude approach, and he thought that this plan would be counterproductive.

"There is no impermeable wall in this world, Zheng Fan's layout can't be seen by others, but it may not be able to deceive Wei Zhaodu and others, this person is extremely good at speculation, and the desire for power is too great. Therefore, we might as well completely mess up the troubled waters of Luoyang City, use Wei Zhaodu to kill the eunuch Han Quanhai, and then let Cui Yin and Wei Zhaodu turn their faces, so that the situation in Luoyang City will inevitably be completely chaotic. Zheng Fan's arrangement in the court will also be completely disrupted by us, forcing him to take action in person. Hu Xiaosi began to explain little by little: "When the time comes, we can set Zheng Fan in advance, let him bear the responsibility of killing the emperor, and then let the palace should change the edict and announce it at the end of the ceremony." ”

Hu Xiaosi's words made everyone silent for a while, but then new problems appeared again, according to this plan, in addition to instigating people from all walks of life to fight in Luoyang City, there were too many links that needed to be arranged, and Xuan Yingwei had no way to make a plan at this time, so he could only act at the opportunity, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

"I am personally responsible for this matter, from now on, except for the secret guards arranged near Bianzhou who are responsible for cooperating with the General Staff to investigate the movements of the Xuanwu Army, all the other manpower will be secretly transferred to Luoyang, and some new personnel will be added to Chang'an to form a special team to be responsible for this matter. Biaozi, you will rush back to Bianzhou later, and we will deal with it. Xiaohu, except for one group of the Flying Eagle Brigade in the grassland in the north, all the others are concentrated in Luoyang, ready to act at any time. After Hu Xiaosi arranged this, his face was extremely solemn, and he didn't even have time to send these people out, so he rushed into the secret room and began to make plans with reference to the information sent.
