At this moment, in Yangzhou City, the people sent by Zhao Dezhao have quickly arrived in Lujia Lane in the west of the city, an inconspicuous location, in front of the door is in tatters, since the last time it was burned by the Tang Kingdom, only some sparse buildings remain.
This is the base camp of Changchun Hall in Yangzhou, with eight shrewd spies of Changchun Hall and twelve samurai stationed here, waiting for Zhao Dezhao's orders.
After receiving the order of the young master, the spies such as Snake Chop and Wu Xiaowu began to change their appearance, and then changed into the clothes of ordinary people and mixed in the crowd, and Wu Xiaowu, as an entourage of the Li Mansion, pretended to go home to visit his mother yesterday, and today he brought a relative from the same village, and told the housekeeper of the Li Mansion how good this relative is at doing chores, how diligent, chopping wood, carrying water, and cooking everything can be done.
And Steward Li saw that the relative recommended by Wu Xiaowu was burly, although his appearance was a little ugly, but he looked at the posture and looked like a person who could do hard work, so he agreed immediately.
This burly person is a snake slasher, but now because he followed Wu Xiaowu into the Li Mansion, he temporarily took a name that he could remember, called Wang Sickshui. Cutting the snake and changing into the clothes of his subordinates, he was then led by Wu Xiaowu to the firewood room of the Li Mansion, where there was a large pile of chopping firewood to be made.
Slashing Snake frowned, a smile appeared on his cold face, now that he had blended into the Li Mansion, the next thing was to steal the order talisman from Li Chongjin's side.
And this matter is very tricky, Snake Killer and Wu Xiaowu waited for this opportunity to infiltrate Li Chongjin's mansion, and then approached Li Chongjin to steal the talisman.
_________________________
On the other hand, Li Chongjin recently recruited 100 warriors in Yangzhou, and the twelve Changchun Hall warriors with good martial arts heard about it, so they went to the school in front of the Jiedu Embassy to sign up.
There are a lot of people who sign up for the school, and the people are poor in these years, if they can join the army, they can have a full meal, and they can also have a military salary to supplement the family.
Ye Qiqi and the others went to the Li Mansion campus to sign up for the warrior conference. Everyone on the school field must first test the martial arts of a group through a competition.
After more than four hours of competition, until the sun set, none of Ye Seventeen and twelve people fell, and finally all of them got their wishes and entered the team of 100 warriors recruited by Li Chongjin, and then the generals around Li Chongjin began to make a name.
"Ye Seventeenβ"
"Here."
"Camelβ"
"I am."
"Xiong Mao, Chen Yuan, Si Zichun, Wei Dui, Wu Heng, Cheng Huiwan, Hua Duo, Beichuan, Yuhuatian, Nangong Lin...... Today, you 100 people are relying on your own efforts to enter the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, and in the future, you will rely on your military exploits to protect General Li, and from then on you will be promoted to a knight! Do you think so-"
"YesβPromotionβPromotionβProtection of General Leeβ"
Ye 17, Camel and 12 others accompanied the remaining 88 people into the military camp outside the city, and today, these warriors selected by Li Chongjin's generals Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing will personally receive Li Chongjin tomorrow and then send them to the army for training.
After the military tent was equally divided, the first military tent was crowded with ten people, while the other two Ye Seventeen and the camel were divided into the other military tents, which happened to be next to each other.
When the night was extremely deep, Ye Qiqi and the camel got up from the bed, and then the two tiptoed to the outside of the military tent next to them, and then woke up the remaining ten people with the unique "coo" code sound of Changchun Hall, and the remaining ten people moved very fast, got out of the bed, and got out of the tent after approving the clothes.
"Shhhh
"Chief, do you still need to visit the camp today?" Xiong Mao asked.
Ye Qiqi proposed: "Brothers, listen to me, today the twelve of us have entered Li Chongjin's army, and there is no need to visit the camp today, there are too many people, I am afraid that Li Chongjin's generals will find out." It is better for me and the camel to visit the barracks at night. β
Nangong Lin proposed: "Chief, this is dangerous, it is better to let the eleventh brother Yu Huatian follow, he is the best among the brothers." β
Ye Qiqi waved his hand and replied: "It's okay, the rest of you nine people go to the tent to rest first, tonight is just the beginning, tomorrow you need the rest of the nine people to work together to complete the young master's order as soon as possible." β
Xiong Mao and the nine people behind Xiong Mao obeyed the order: "Yes, leader, subordinates retire!" β
The nine people went to the military tent, while Ye Seventeen, Camel and Yuhuatian, who were left, took advantage of the lack of movement in the other camps and quietly touched into the other camps.
Taking advantage of the lack of moon tonight, the three of them dispersed, and when they saw that all the military tents were not lit, they were relieved and bold to find out the camp outpost.
However, Ye Seventeen, Camel and Yuhuatian found that Li Chongjin's subordinates Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing were no longer in the camp, so the three of them were very puzzled whether the two would go to Li Chongjin's mansion, but if they left the camp at this moment, I was afraid that one would accidentally let people find out, so after the three of them discussed, they planned to stay still and continue to go back to the camp tent to sleep.
In the Li Mansion, Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing were both discussing the matter with Li Chongjin in the room at the moment.
"General, today we have selected a hundred warriors from among the people, and tomorrow we invite the general to come and guide." As soon as Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing opened their mouths, they reported to Li Chongjin.
"Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing, you did a good job!" Li Chongjin praised, "Tomorrow I will rely on the two generals to train soldiers." β
"The general praised falsely, this is a matter within the humble position, but the general, the humble position thinks that now the soldiers and horses are available, there is still half a month before the incident, and the army can be raised to the north on the occasion of Chongyang, and then we will support the general to become the emperor, and the two of them wish my emperor a victory!"
"Two generals, be careful! This sentence is going to lose my head, how can I Li Chongjin be able to be praised by the two of you, although I Li Chongjin is an important minister of the Zhou family, and I am a relative of the emperor, I naturally want to support the Zhou family, but now there are many soldiers and horses, but there is not enough food, I don't know what to do? β
Xiang Mei proposed: "General, I think that Yangzhou is very close to Jiangning Mansion of Tang State, so it is better to send a letter to inform Tang Lord Li Jing, saying that it is to help Huainan Jiedu to make you raise troops, if you occupy Huainan in the future and attack Kaifeng, you can negotiate to give up all the fourteen states in Jiangbei, and then ......."
"How can this be done, the fourteen states of Jiangbei are all the first emperor and our soldiers fought bloodily, little by little from the hands of the Tang State, if so, how will the people of the world view me!!" When Li Chongjin heard this, he was very unhappy, after all, every inch of land was obtained by the soldiers of the Zhou State.
Xiang Mei continued: "General, this is a bad word, what the humble post said does not necessarily cede Jiangbei, but ......" Xiang Mei made a shake of his head.
"Is this possible?" Li Chongjin was very puzzled.
"That's possible, General!" At this time, Zhan Jing spoke, he agreed with Xiang Mei's opinion, and took advantage of the chaos to let Tang send troops to solve the dilemma of food shortage.
"General-if the general doesn't agree, does the general want to give up the country to Zhao Thief? If the general is like this, it is not worth following the two of us, and the general should not forget how Li Yun died? β
How Li Yun died, Li Chongjin naturally knew, but he didn't feel good, his heart was naturally in favor of rebellion, and now in more than half a month, it will be September.
The three of them discussed in the room for a while, and Li Chongjin finally figured it out, planning to ask his staff member Zhai Shouxun to prepare a letter tomorrow, and then send it to Jiangning Mansion to Li Jing.
"General Xiang, General Zhan, what you said is very true, I, Li Chongjin, did just that, and tomorrow I will let the military advisor Zhai Shouxun write a letter to Jiangning Mansion!"
"I'm waiting to follow the adults, and I wish the adults success!"
At this moment, the three of them, Snake Chopping, Wu Xiaowu, and later Whisper, were all listening to the conversation of the three in different positions, and today they heard that Li Chongjin was going to see the hundred warriors tomorrow, so they sweated for the twelve brothers, and today was a good opportunity for the three of them to start, taking advantage of this opportunity, they steal the talisman unconsciously.
Li Chongjin let Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing go home, and then went to his room, but his mood was a little excited these days, and there was still half a month before the rebellion, so he was excited, so he locked the talisman of the transfer of troops in his room, a dark cabinet, a total of eight locks, locked layer by layer, the purpose is to prevent people from stealing.
And outside the door at this moment, the whispering three people sneaked next to the door, a hidden place, just through the screen window, I saw Li Chongjin locking the talisman in a cabinet, and then the three of them fled again, stepped on the door and window, and went to a bamboo forest outside Li's mansion.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, the three of them discussed for a while, planning to take advantage of Li Chongjin and go out tomorrow to let Wu Xiaowu unlock it. For Wu Xiaowu, such trivial things to unlock were given to him.
β¦β¦
The next day, in the barracks, when the rooster crowed, Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing went to the army early in the morning, and then gathered the hundred warriors on the school field.
Li Chongjin asked Zhai Shouxun to prepare a letter, and then sent it to Jiangning Mansion to Li Jing. After the preparation, Li Chongjin stepped out of the mansion and went to the military camp outside the city.
Soon after Li Chongjin left, Wu Xiaowu sneaked into Li Chongjin's room, fortunately, Li Chongjin had not yet sent someone to guard his door, so let Wu Xiaowu get his hands, Wu Xiaowu took out a thin copper wire from his sleeve, and with a slight flick, a lock was unlocked, and the remaining seven locks were naturally not a problem. Wu Xiaowu finally succeeded, and then recovered as it was, that is, he left the Li Mansion with the talisman in his arms.
Outside the city, on the school ground, Li Chongjin had already come here to inspect, and he was overjoyed to see these hundreds of people with knotted muscles and burly figures, and naturally thought that the throne was much closer to him.
Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing said to these newly recruited warriors: "All the warriors - this is General Li Chongjin, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. β
"I've seen General Leeβ"
"Hello warriors, you have worked hard, I am here today to inspect the school field, why don't you show your kung fu and let me wait and see."
Then the hundred-person group began to show their eighteen martial arts, Li Chongjin nodded again and again on the side, it seems that Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing are able to do things, and they really deserve to be their own generals, and he will have these hundred warriors in the future, one in a hundred, why can't he train a strong army and an iron army in the future.

The time has come to August 24, and at this moment in Chuzhou City, Zhao Dezhao and Wu Yongzi are playing chess in the inner courtyard of Chuzhou Mansion.
"Your Highness's trick is wonderful! Disintegrating the enemy from the inside, so that the enemy did not expect that our side would not move, in fact, the soldiers and horses had been secretly planted in Yangzhou City, and when Li Chongjin woke up like a dream, it was his nightmare. β
The Taoist chief smiled, the plan is beautiful, but the reality is afraid of a mistake. As for whether it will succeed or not, it still depends on the joint control of everyone in Yangzhou City, and we are just manipulating behind our backs, and at present, in Yangzhou City, our troops are insufficient, we can only divide and disintegrate from within Li Chongjin, and attack Li Chongjin with Li Chongjin's troops, that is, even if Li Chongjin is aware of it, he will be unable to fly. β
As soon as Zhao Dezhao fell, he ate Wuyongzi's "general", and Wuyongzi smiled directly: "Wuyongzi wishes His Highness a victory!" β
