Chu Huan's expression was solemn, "Whether it's Chinese New Year's Eve or not, I can't know for sure." If the word 'Xi' in Xi Pozhi refers to Chinese New Year's Eve, then the word 'broken' is naturally not interesting. He touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Could it be that the Heavenly Gate Daoists are preparing to make trouble on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Li Wang Sun's expression also became solemn, "My lord, if it is really as you expected, then there are only five days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and before that, we must find out General Mu." Although we know that they have a conspiracy, we don't know anything about their detailed plans, and if we can't catch General Mu in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Chu Huan hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Commander, I won't tell you, before I saw you tonight, I actually suspected that Yuan Chongshang was that General Mu, but this matter is very important, although I am seventy percent sure, but I am not completely sure, but after talking to you tonight, this General Mu must be Yuan Chongshang." ”

Li Wang Sun was stunned and said curiously: "Why did Lord Chu say this? Could it be that adults have long suspected the identity of Yuan Zongdu? ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "The commander may not know that before the incident in the Jingtong Heavenly Temple, the Holy Lord had already sent a team of divine guards to Anyi, the purpose was to arrest Huang Tianyi with a two-pronged approach!" ”

Li Wangsun was stunned again, but soon sighed: "The saint is wise." Jing solved the Anguo Gong Party with thunderous means, but it was a two-pronged ......! But he quickly realized something, and Qi said: "But there is no movement on Anyi's side, Huang Tianyi was not arrested, but failed to attack the governor's mansion and retreated to Yusuo Lake." ”

Chu Huan sneered: "That's because the whereabouts of the Divine Clothes Guard were leaked. ”

"How is this possible?" Li Wang Sun Da was puzzled, "According to the lower officials, the Shenyi Guard has always acted secretly, and when he came to Anyi to arrest Huang Tianyi, it must have been carefully arranged, how could it be...... Leaking whereabouts? His face was full of suspicion, obviously not convinced.

Chu Huan said: "It's really unbelievable, but ...... But it's a fact. Shenyi Wei two hundred households, led ten captains to Taiyuan, but instead of catching Huang Tianyi, the whole army was wiped out. ”

"Annihilation?" Rao is Li Wangsun was calm, but he was also taken aback at this time.

Chu Huan clenched his fists, "As far as I know, only one of the Divine Guards knew their whereabouts before they were attacked. ”

"Who?"

"Yuan Chongshang." Chu Huan sneered: "In order to make sure that his actions are foolproof, the Divine Clothes Guard secretly found Yuan Chongshang in advance, and was immediately attacked by a group of people. ”

King Li Sun Hu asked: "The entire army of the Divine Clothes Guard was wiped out, where did your lord know that they had met Governor Yuan in advance?" In the depths of his eyes, there was a look of vigilance.

Chu Huan smiled faintly: "Because although the Shenyi Guard was attacked, they still left clues, and the Shenyi Guard was originally based on intelligence work, even if they were wiped out, they would still leave a lot of information." ”

Li Wangsun thought for a moment before saying, "If this is the case, then Governor Yuan ......!" There was a pause, but he didn't continue.

The whereabouts of the Shenyi Guard are very secretive, only Yuan Chongshang knew about it in advance, and he was attacked immediately, so he didn't have to think about it, the attack of the Shenyi Guard must have something to do with Yuan Chongshang.

"There are only five days until Chinese New Year's Eve." Chu Huan said: "Commander, you are older than me, according to your opinion, what should we do next?" ”

Li Wangsun said with a solemn expression: "My lord, if Yuan Chongshang is really General Mu, then ...... It's a tricky one. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yuan Chongshang was the captain of the personal guard by the saint's side back then, and now although he is old, his kung fu has not been put down, and he himself has an amazing martial arts, which is above the lower officials." Li Wangsun stared at Chu Huan's eyes, "In addition, there are two thousand Praetorian Guards in this Taiyuan City, which are directly under his command, although they lost a lot of troops in Yusuo Lake before, but the remaining two thousand Praetorian Guards are still not to be underestimated." ”

"Commander Li means that these two thousand Praetorian Guards will follow Yuan Chongshang to rebel?" Chu Huan frowned.

Li Wangsun shook his head and said, "That's not going to happen." The military salary of the Praetorian Guards is not low, and they are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and they have no worries about food and clothing, so they naturally will not turn their backs on the imperial court and follow Yuan Chongshang to rebel. But even if Yuan Chongshang is General Mu, the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard don't know ......! ”

Chu Huan couldn't help but say, "Can't we reveal his identity?" ”

Li Wangsun smiled bitterly: "My lord, what we know, the Praetorian Guards don't know, and you and I judge from some clues that Yuan Chongshang is General Mu, but the Praetorian Guards won't listen to us, unless they have absolute evidence, they will definitely not be gullible, and you and I ......!" He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The evidence of the hand is not ironclad evidence. We can say that he is General Mu, and Yuan Chongshang also has a long mouth, so he will naturally deny it, compared to us, the Praetorian Guards naturally believe the words of Governor Yuan, and if we make a bad trouble, we will be in a more dangerous situation. ”

The corners of Chu Huan's eyes jumped.

"In addition to the Praetorian Guard, since Yuan Chongshang is General Mu, he naturally has Tianmen Daoist people secretly, and his strength should not be underestimated." Li Wangsun said slowly: "When the Huang family was here, Yuan Chongshang was a puppet, but now he is indeed a governor, with a high position, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized at any time on the side of Yusuo Lake, if we clash with it head-on, we will not be an opponent." ”

Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "The commander only has five hundred guards, and there are only two hundred guards around this officer, so they are indeed not their opponents. ”

Li Wangsun tapped the chair handle lightly with one finger, thoughtfully, Chu Huan was silent for a while before asking, "Commander, even so, we can't do nothing, right?" ”

Li Wangsun was already a little anxious when he saw Chu Huan, so he could only say: "Lord Chu, if you really want to make a move against Yuan Chongshang, you must not clash head-on, you can only attack suddenly." ”

"What do you mean by the Commander's Command, a night raid on the Governor's Palace?" Chu Huan raised his eyebrows.

Li Wangsun smiled bitterly: "If Yuan Chongshang is really General Mu, how can he be unguarded?" The two of us will naturally not succeed, but if we transfer troops to raid the Governor's Palace, and the front foot has just mobilized people and horses, Yuan Chongshang will know on the back foot. ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Li Wang Sun thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Lord Chu, do you know that on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Bingyue's son Lu Shixun wants to welcome his relatives?" ”

Chu Huan bowed his head and said: "Last time I went to a banquet in Lu Mansion, I heard Lu Bingyue mention it on the wine table!" ”

"Xia Guan thought that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Li Wangsun leaned forward and said in a low voice: "After the fall of the Huang family, this Lu family is the first wealthy merchant in Anyi, and his son wants to marry, so he arrived at the mansion of the officials after the post, and it is said that Yuan Chongshang was invited to marry the main person...... Yuan Chongshang should not give ...... this face! ”

Chu Huan's locked eyebrows spread slightly, and he said in a low voice: "What does the commander mean, let's do it at Lu Shixun's wedding banquet then?" ”

Li Wangsun nodded and said: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, if we go to the banquet, you and I must be by Yuan Chongshang's side, when the time comes, Xiaguan and Lord Chu will fight hard and join forces to attack, there should be ninety percent certainty that Yuan Chongshang will be able to take down!" ”

Chu Huan clenched his fists, his eyes sharp, "After taking down Yuan Chongshang, ......!" ”

"With Yuan Chongshang in hand, even if the Praetorian Guards arrive when they hear the news, they will definitely not dare to act rashly." Li Wang Sun said slowly: "At that time, we will have time to reveal Yuan Chongshang's true identity to the officers and soldiers of the Janissaries, and if Yuan Chongshang is taken, the conspiracy of the Tianmen Dao will completely collapse, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, they will not be able to rise to the storm." ”

Chu Huan was silent for a while, and finally asked: "The commander is not in good health, I'm afraid it will ......!" ”

Li Wangsun smiled bitterly: "Xiaguan's internal organs are already poisonous, and the residual poison has not been cleared at all, even if he lives past tomorrow, it is unknown whether he will be alive the day after tomorrow." Lord Chu can rest assured, although Xia Guan's skills are not as good as before the poison, but if he suddenly joins forces with Lord Chu, it will definitely be an all-out blow. ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, his eyes showed a look of determination, and he nodded slightly: "In this way, Chu will give it a go with the commander!" ”

……

……

Taiyuan City has been talked about the most after tea and dinner, of course, is the marriage of the eldest young master of the Lu family in Taiyuan City, this marriage has not been known by many people before, but when the New Year is approaching, it is already known all over the city.

The Huang family has dominated Taiyuan for 20 years, but the Taiyuan Lu family has been in Taiyuan for longer than the Huang family.

In the past few days, the Lu family is very lively, relatives and friends from all over the country come in an endless stream, especially in the states of Anyi, the news of businessmen is always well-informed, the Huang family is declining, Governor Yuan handed over the name of the president of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce to the Lu family, in fact, in the eyes of the businessmen, the president of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce is also waiting for the president of the entire Anyi Chamber of Commerce, the president of the state chamber of commerce naturally no one dares to fight against the president of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, the Lu family who has made a comeback, will naturally control the business routes of Anyi in the future, and the large and small merchants who were attached to the Huang family at the beginning, Now it is naturally rare to have a good relationship with the Lu family in Taiyuan.

The wedding of the young master of the Lu family is naturally an excellent opportunity for large and small merchants to have a good relationship with the Lu family, so since the news of the young master Lu's wedding spread, the congratulatory gifts that the Lu family receives every day should be counted by the car.

It is said that Lu Lengyue, the head of the Lu family, has put down his words, and the major chefs let go of their hands and feet, and the wedding banquet is over, who makes the dishes that are the most popular among the guests, and when the wedding banquet is over, the merchant silver is three hundred taels, for ordinary people, this is of course a big windfall, so the chefs of the major restaurants who have been hired in the past are all gearing up, eager to try, and all want to make a splash on the wedding banquet.

The Lu family put up lanterns and carefully prepared for the wedding day, and such a festive atmosphere was naturally not something that the officers and soldiers of Yusuo Lake could feel.

Since the last defeat and the loss of troops, the morale of the officers and soldiers besieging Yusuo Lake has actually been very low.

Although the construction of ships has not stopped, many officers and soldiers are even suspicious, even if they build warships, they are really the opponents of the Huang family's fleet? At that scene that day, many people saw with their own eyes that thousands of officers and soldiers and dozens of ships were easily defeated by the Huang family, and the Huang family did not lose a single boat, and even captured several official ships.

The officers and men did not know when the next battle would be fought, let alone whether they would suffer such a crushing defeat in the next battle.
