Chapter 160: (Showing Horse's Feet)

Thirty miles outside the south gate of Zhuangzhou, Shangguan Yin Feng camp

"Lord Qi, General Li sent someone to deliver a letter. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "A Jinyi Guard Captain walked into the big tent and handed a letter to Huang Wei on the side.

Paper has been invented as early as the Western Han Dynasty, Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty improved papermaking, which Shangguan Yin Feng also knows that the Nanyang area uses paper, and Shangguan Yin Feng told Zhang Tao about the improvement of papermaking, let Zhang Tao use the bamboo of Shunan Zhuhai to make paper, and now the paper used in Nanyang and Sichuan and other places is Shu paper, although the texture is not as good as rice paper, but it is better than the paper used by the Luoyang Palace and the princes and ministers.

After reading the letter, Shangguan Yin Feng handed it to Huang Wei: "His heart can be punished." ”

Huang Wei also looked at it, and then handed the letter to the captain: "Destroy it immediately..."After the captain left, Huang Wei arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, they are looking for us to ask for food now, it is completely a threat, it is better to directly tear the skin with such people, and the last general is willing to lead 50,000 horses and kill him." ”

Shangguan Yin Feng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Now that the army is pressing, the so-called arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, if it is urgent, I am afraid that these people will completely turn against the water, but now Chai Shang is still in Handan, and the last thing this king likes in his life is to be threatened, and he wrote back to tell Li Xiucheng that their request, this king will not agree, if they are not willing to attack the city, the previous Huozhou Alliance, will not count." ”

"Whoa..."

The content of this letter was written by Li Xiucheng himself, and it was written that Kou Sui and Wentai asked Li Xiucheng to provide them with half a year's grain and grass for their 150,000 troops, otherwise they would give up attacking Zhuangzhou, and threaten Shangguan Yin Feng in disguise.

Shangguan Yin Feng was not clear about the appearance of the priest in Luoyang, but the spies of Jinyiwei received some news, but the Ti cavalry sent out was intercepted and killed halfway, so that Shangguan Yin Feng did not receive any news about Luoyang.

"Lord Wang, General Jia has good news." A brocade guard lieutenant walked into the tent with a soldier in armor.

The people who came saw Shangguan Yin Feng knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Qiqi, General Zhu You led 20,000 troops to break through Julu, killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured more than 10,000 people, only Julu guards and thousands of men and horses escaped, General Jia specially sent a small one to report the news." ”

"Okay..."Shangguan Yin Feng nodded and smiled: "Jia Fu is really brave, you go back and tell Jia Fu that if you take Hejian, this king will be rewarded." ”

"Whoa..."

"Pass the order, prepare to attack the city tomorrow, and order Li Xiucheng to go forward."

Luoyang, Kyoto, the residence of the Great Situ

A brocade-clothed man hurriedly walked into Situ Huang Funan's mansion, and under the leadership of the steward of Situ Mansion, he saw Situ Huang Funan, the great Situ of the Cheng Dynasty, in the side room: "Meet Lord Situ." ”

"So flustered? What is it? Huang Fu Nan had already received the advice from the steward, so he hurriedly waited for this brocade-clothed man in the side room.

"Back to Lord Situ, the humble position is Zhang Lian, a hundred households under the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and he has important things to tell Lord Situ." The man in brocade clothes is the person of Jinyiwei, the usual uniform of Jinyiwei is the flying fish suit, and the flying fish suit is the crown suit, but when the people of the brocade guard are usually on duty, there is a set of brocade clothes, the color is dark blue, and ordinary people look at it like the kind of rich family.

"Come on." Huangfu Nan knew what Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi was doing, and when he saw that the hundred households in front of him were so flustered, he knew that there must be something big.

"Back to Lord Situ, the people under the lowly post found out that the Marquis of Anping had summoned many generals of the southern camp to the Hou Mansion the day before yesterday, and went to the Hou Mansion for a whole day, the humble post received a wire report a few days ago, and some unknown people had gone to the Marquis of Anping, and the humble post felt that something was wrong, so he sent a cavalry to Hebei to tell the Lord of the Pacification Envoy, but all the people who went were intercepted and killed in the middle of the road, and all the letters they brought disappeared, and the Humble Duty has now lost contact with the Lord of the Pacification Envoy, so he had no choice but to ask to see Lord Situ, Please Situ think of a way. "Baihu said that he was in a hurry.

Huangfu Nan has been engaged in intelligence work for half his life, and his eyes are all over the world's Kyushu, but he also feels the strength of Jinyiwei's work, and he can actually investigate the Anping Marquis Mansion so carefully, and if you think about it carefully, it is estimated that all the officials in Luoyang are monitored by Jinyiwei, and even his own Situ is not spared, but Shangguan Yin Feng treats himself very well, and he is so respectful that he is relieved: "Even Jinyiwei's people dare to kill, it seems that they are prepared, I wonder if Zhang Baihu can find out some more important news?" ”

Zhang Lian nodded and said in a low voice: "According to the report of the spies under the lowly position, the Marquis of Anping is in contact with the people of the first regime, and the lowly post thinks that the marquis of Anping summoned the generals under his command a few days ago, plus the subordinates of the lowly rank Ti Cai were killed, so the lowly guess that the marquis of Anping wants to rebel." ”

Huangfu Nan frowned when he heard this, Anping Marquis Yancen is Gongsun Shu's personal guard general, and Yancen can go out of the mountain again to command the army, and it is also the recommendation of everyone in the court, it stands to reason that he will not do this kind of thing: "Zhang Baihu has found out clearly, Anping Hou is Emperor Taizu's personal guard general, and he is quite respected in the court, if it is a bit far-fetched to conclude that Anping Hou rebelled just by summoning his generals to the palace to discuss matters?" ”

Huang Fu Nan has been engaged in intelligence for decades, it was he who united Zhang Shuang and others to capture the He family, control Luoyang under his hands, and welcome Gongsun Long's accession to the throne, his own vigilance is still very high, but Yan Cen has been the commander of Gongsun Shu's personal guards for more than ten years, and it is really impossible to conclude that he rebelled, and the people in the court, including the Gongsun royal family, believe in Yan Cen abnormally, Huang Fu Nan clearly remembers that when he united Zhang Shuang's people, he looked for Yan Cen, but Yan Cen said that this was a family affair of the Gongsun family, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere, and Huang Fu Nan was not easy to force, After all, Gongsun Xin is the crown prince of Gongsun Shuli, although the rule of the eldest son ascending the throne has been abolished, it is always Gongsun Shu's decision.

In addition, since the death of Gongsun Shu, Yan Cen has been at home, and he has also rejected all the rewards of He Jing, which makes the people in the court and China are in awe of Yan Cen, let alone rebel, if Zhang Lian tells this to other ministers, it will definitely make those ministers think that Shangguan Yin Feng wants to eradicate dissidents, after all, Jinyiwei is handled by Shangguan Yin Feng, and he himself is still the commander of Jinyiwei.

"Lord Situ..."Zhang Lian saw that Huang Funan was not alert, and said unusually anxiously: "Could it be that Lord Situ forgot the scene when the He clan transferred troops into the imperial city?" ”

The sergeants of the four battalions of Luoyang, east and west, north and south called the forbidden army, each battalion was full of 100,000 and 4,000 people, the garrison position of the forbidden army was in the field of the four gates of the military academy in the outer city of Luoyang, in addition to the commander of the north battalion was Su Long, the commander of the remaining three battalions were the sons of He Jing, when He Jing rebelled, he transferred the men and horses of the east camp into the imperial city, coerced Yu Linwei to open the door, and fought with some ministers loyal to Gongsun Long in the city, so that Luoyang chickens and dogs jumped.

Since the regency of Shangguan Yin Feng, the number of forbidden troops has been reduced, from 100,000 to 50,000 to 50,010, to protect the safety of Luoyang.

Of course, there are two people responsible for the security of Luoyang, one is the commander of the three provinces of Luoyang, Anping Hou Yancen, and the other is the general Zhao Xin, the Central Plains is centered on Luoyang, and another state in Yuzhou, called Sili Prefecture, General Sili is the commander who protects the security of Sili Prefecture, called General Sili, due to the Huaibei Rebellion, transferred away part of the people and horses of Luoyang Dongying and Beiying, Shangguan Yin Feng Northern Expedition, and transferred away the Xiying people, and now in Luoyang City, there are 8,000 people who patrol the city and general Shi Yunjie, scattered throughout the city of Luoyang, In addition to guarding the inner city, Shi Yunjie's men and horses also have to patrol the inner and outer cities, as well as the five thousand Yu Lin Wei who defend the imperial city, and the rest is only 50,000 people in Nanying, once Yancen rebels, Luoyang City has no strength to block the forbidden army in the outer city, and the inner city is easy to be broken by the forbidden army.
