Regarding the situation of guarding and arresting in the clouds, Zhao Ziliang did not tell the officials and generals of the Zuoxiang Soldiers and Horses Embassy, although they were also his subordinates, but he had only been in Hedong for a few months, and he was not completely at ease with these people, and he did not dare to guarantee that there were no eyes and ears of certain forces among these people, so for the sake of insurance, the real purpose of this trip was unknown to others except for a few cronies, and Gao Shan and Qiu Zhen were able to see some clues from this incident in the afternoon, which showed that the political sensitivity of these people was still very high.

Listening to the words of these people, Zhao Ziliang sneered: "Of course, the two thousand soldiers and horses who entered the city were waiting for me, otherwise they were so dignified, why did they transfer the two thousand troops into the city?" You must know that the city is calm and safe, why do you want to send a large army into the city? Who do you think did this? ”

Qiu Zhen, who joined the army, was surprised: "Isn't it Wu Tiande, the guard?" The generals have already arrested him and put him in the squad room to guard him strictly! ”

Zhao Ziliang's face sank like water, and he drank tea without saying anything.

Gao Shan's political acumen was obviously much higher, he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, a marching Sima and a judge, they all stood up to prove that Wu Tiande ordered the army to enter the city, and at that time, almost all the generals and officials of the Yunzhong Army and the officials of the Guarding Mansion were present, but no one stood up to speak for Wu Tiande, even if Wu Tiande's popularity is extremely poor, but he is also the highest commander in the clouds, is there no one who wants to convince him and curry favor with him to defend and speak for him?" This Wu Tiande seems to have been isolated by everyone up and down in the clouds, but this is unlikely, things are too weird! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shang bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Now that the situation in the clouds is complicated, we still need to be cautious!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Lord Gao and Lord Qiu stay, and everyone else will go back and rest!" ”

"Xiaguan (the last general) and others will retire!" The irrelevant people all stood up and saluted, and stepped back.

Gao Shang and Qiu Zhen saw that Zhao Ziliang sent everyone else away, leaving the two of them alone, and they knew that Zhao Ziliang might want to talk to the two of them about some confidential things, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Zhao Ziliang waited for those people to leave before he said to Gao Shang and Qiu Zhen: "The two adults may wonder why General Ben sent everyone else away, I believe the two should also know in their hearts, General Ben's Left Wing Soldiers and Horses Envoy Mansion and Datong Army Festival Ambassador Mansion are not united and monolithic, but leaking wind and rain everywhere, many of the officials and generals in the palace are the eyes and ears of other forces, this general just ate an extra bowl of rice tonight, but for an hour, maybe someone else's mansion will know about it, the two of you said, Isn't that scary? ”

Gao Shang and Qiu Zhen looked at each other, and stood up and walked to the bottom of the steps to bow to Zhao Ziliang and saluted: "As a general and an adjutant officer, I should think about the general, and I dare not be half-hearted, please be a general!" The two officials are not talented, and they are willing to be driven by the general in front of the horse, and they are loyal! Otherwise, heaven and earth will be destroyed, and death is not a pity! ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and walked over to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "The heart of the two adults, this general understands, otherwise he would not have left the two adults alone to speak, now there are two adults for me, and this general is like a tiger!" Come on, come on, sit down and talk! ”

"Thank you, General!"

After the three of them sat down again, Zhao Ziliang beckoned to Brehan, Brehan took a bag of files and handed them to Gao Shang, Gao Shan took the files suspiciously and looked at them, the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became, and his face became more and more pale and angry.

The file was then transferred to Qiu Zhen's hands, Qiu Zhen slapped the table and said angrily: "This gang of scum is simply lawless, they actually formed a gang to set up a guard and capture the envoy, no wonder when the Xi clan attacked, the Yunzhong army did not move, and when the Xi clan broke and fled, they were just acting and not intercepting!" Hmph, these moths, they are the accomplices of the northern barbarians who use the land east of my river as a pasture! General, this matter is too big, and the whole cloud guard is rotten! ”

Compared with Qiu Zhen, Gao Shang was much calmer, he got up and arched his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said, "I don't know what the general is going to do?" ”

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea and said, "Could it be that General Ben can still let them do whatever they want?" Of course, eradicate all these silverfish, and let the cloud guard return to the control of the imperial court! Don't hide it from the two, in the afternoon, General Ben wanted to take advantage of all these people here to arrest them first, but then found that the overall situation actually entered the city, and General Ben knew that they had already taken precautions, and they didn't dare to attack us blatantly, so when we found that there was a large army lurking near the Capture Mansion, we withdrew Wu Tiande to carry the black cauldron, and wanted General Ben to put the fire on Wu Tiande, in order to stabilize them, General Ben had to arrest Wu Tiande, and appease them first. There are wise men among these people, and they should not be underestimated! ”

Gao Shang nodded and said: "In Yishang's opinion, the general's disposition this afternoon is the only and best way, take Wu Tiande, order Zhang Yulin to temporarily take the post of the envoy, and let him go out to give an order to make the army go out of the city and return to the camp, so as to stabilize these people and make them dare not take risks!" And it can be seen from this incident that in addition to these people, the lower-level military leaders and soldiers of the Yunzhong Army still obey the military orders of the Capture Mansion and their hearts are directed to the imperial court, otherwise they would not have carried out the military order to go out of the city and return to the camp when Wu Tiande was ordered by the general to take it down, and the general ordered Zhang Yulin to temporarily take the post of guard and capture envoy to pass the order! From this incident, it can also be seen that these people have always acted in the name of guarding the Capture Mansion, and they themselves cannot mobilize and control the Yunzhong Army! This is good news for us! ”

Zhao Ziliang wanted to test the noble, so he asked: "What does Master Gao think we should do to eradicate this cancer?" ”

Gao Shang touched his beard and muttered for a moment before saying, "General, the lower officials think that this matter is sooner rather than later, the longer it drags on, the deeper and stronger their penetration and control in the clouds will be!" And it is necessary to strike them all in one blow, and if they let one escape, they can control the army to launch a counterattack if they are allowed to escape! Although the general is not afraid, once the fight starts, the ultimate loss is ourselves, this is internal friction! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "What Lord Gao said is good, when they went back in the afternoon, General Ben said that he would go to the barracks tomorrow to inspect and inspect the army, since he wanted to do it, General Ben thought that since he wanted to do it, then it was early, tomorrow they would definitely not think that we would do it in the barracks, and I would just eradicate them all in front of all the soldiers and military leaders in the barracks!" ”

There was a gleam in the noble eyes, and he arched his hand and said: "The general's move is full of courage, and he occupies the righteous name of the imperial court, the low-level soldiers and military leaders will definitely obey the orders of the general and the imperial court, and will not help the abuse!" ”

In a mansion near the Capture Mansion, Xiao Jiong, the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Hedong Prefecture and the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the right wing, sneered angrily at Zhang Yulin, Gao Yaohui, Chen Hekun and Lu Changge, and the four of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Hey, you and a few others have grown up to be capable, such a big thing is to make decisions without saying hello to the official in advance, who gave you the guts?"

Gao Yaohui stood up and arched his hand: "My lord, this matter is the idea of the lower official, and the lower official is willing to take responsibility!" ”

"Hmph, you're going to take it? Can you afford it? Xiao Jiong scolded, don't think that only you are smart people, and everyone else is stupid! Do you think Zhao Ziliang is the kind of reckless man with a simple mind and strong limbs? You have done too hasty in this matter today, and I believe that the surnamed Zhao must be aware and vigilant, and the time he stays in the clouds will inevitably be extended, and if something goes wrong in the middle, all my efforts for several years will be in vain! ”

Zhang Yulin interjected at this time: "My lord, I also wanted to discuss with you at that time, but in broad daylight, as a soldier and horse envoy on the right side, as Zhao Ziliang's opponent, your identity is too sensitive, if you let Zhao Ziliang know that you are here, I am afraid that things will be worse, in order not to let Zhao Ziliang's people find out about the adult, we didn't dare to discuss with you, we did this just in case of self-protection, and we didn't plan to really attack Zhao Ziliang!" ”

Xiao Jiong said angrily: "In fact, you have already startled the snake!" Zhao Ziliang's suspicion of the entire cloud guard will be even heavier! ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and had to bow down and salute: "The lower officials know that they are wrong, and they will not dare to do this next time!" ”

Xiao Jiong snorted and waved his hand: "Okay, I'll spare you this time, and next time I do it again, I won't spare it!" From now on, don't make any moves, stop business, don't be hostile to Zhao Ziliang, don't let him feel that we are guarding against him, and after he leaves, we will return to normal, do you understand? ”

"No!"

On the morning of the next day, Zhao Ziliang and his entourage, accompanied by officials and colonels from all over the Yunzhong Guard's Mansion, inspected the Yunzhong Army's garrison 10 miles northwest of the city.

I have met yesterday, and there is nothing to greet, I went directly into the barracks, and the more than 7,000 clouds on the school field have been lined up in a phalanx in the order of each battalion and regiment, and it is worthy of being the frontier army in the forefront of Hedong, and its spirit is much stronger than the previous Lan Army and Datong Army.

"General Zhao, the envoy of the left wing of Hedong and the ambassador of the Datong Army, has arrived-"

With a long shout, all the soldiers in the more than 7,000 clouds on the school field bowed neatly and shouted in unison: "See the general!" The general is mighty, mighty! (To be continued.) )
