On the night of the destruction of the city that day, Qi Fuyan and other people from the internal government no longer waited for the opportunity, intending to attack the Nanyang palace at night with a desperate gamble, but after making sufficient preparations, they were stunned to find that they were snatched by the gods of unknown places and took Sima Bao away, and that person was Zhang Chun.

It turned out that Zhang Chun was almost thrown into prison since he was robbed of his official position by Sima Bao. Thanks to the old party such as Changshi Chun Yuding, Sima Bao changed his mind, but he also publicly stated that Zhang Chun would be demoted to a commoner and would never be used in the future, and ordered him to think about it at home and reflect on it.

After that, Gao Yue led the army on a large northern expedition and attacked Shangqi. Sima Bao ordered the generals to lead troops to resist many times, and even Yang Tao, who had been in prison for a long time, was released, but he did not mention his name Zhang Chun. At the same time that Yang Tao went straight to the Qin army and took the initiative to surrender and slapped Sima Bao in the face, Zhang Chun gloated, but he also clearly understood that this time, Sima Bao was mostly dead to him.

Zhang Chun's resentful heart drips blood almost every day. In the past, he was almost above 10,000 people under one person on one-third of an acre of land in Qinzhou. Sima Bao was obedient to him, pampered and trusted, and his colleagues flattered him with all kinds of flattery, and he was dignified and tight. As a result, somehow it became the way it is now, like a dog, disgusted by the owner who was tired of playing, and ruthlessly locked up.

Although he was ordered to reflect at home, how could Zhang Chun accept his fate. He quickly realized a truth, what kind of master and servant love and courtier's ethics, all go to his mother's eggs, if you are not kind, I am unjust, Sima Bao can be the first year of junior high school, and Lao Tzu will be fifteen. While the prestige of the past has not faded, we must act quickly. No matter how late it is, when people walk the tea wall and push it down, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to summon a handyman. Or, if the Gao Yue army outside the city attacked, he probably didn't end well.

So Zhang Chun privately called Yang Ci to discuss. Since Yang Ci resisted Gao Yue's disadvantage and returned from defeat, he was beaten by Sima Bao, who was disappointed and angry, in public, and he was also angry and ashamed. At that moment, the two hit it off, and quickly made the decision to kidnap Sima Bao and go north to Chengji City to make plans, and began to immediately summon a series of reliable people, intending to quickly implement the plan within a few days.

When Yang Cilin went out, Zhang Chun specially quietly confessed that there was no need to inform Chun Yuding about this matter. It's a pity that Chun Yuding has said good things for him in front of Sima Bao several times before, but Zhang Chun is mean and harmful, secretly thinking that Chun Yuding is old and frail, he can't pick up his shoulders and can't lift his hands, and when he lifts big things, he wants more soldiers who can fight. In addition, keeping him in the dark can also paralyze people's hearts, and he will not show any horses and feet early. So Chun Yu was properly made Zhang Chun's abandoned son, until the city of Shangqi was broken and was captured by the Qin army.

Zhang Chun thought a lot, and when his eyes rolled his eyes, he thought again, after all, it was a betrayal, and it would be just a matter of success, if he failed, even if he left his life, then he would become the target of public criticism. For the sake of insurance and to cover people's eyes, he decided not to come forward, and he would not let Yang Ci come forward, and he wanted to find another person to make the head bird for the dead ghost and be the leader in name. So Zhang Chun quickly locked in the candidate in his heart, looked for an opportunity to sneak out of the house, and went to find Li Bao, who was bored in the sleepy city. In the past, he was disdainful of Li Bao, but now he took the initiative to visit, Li Bao was very surprised, and he was even more flattered.

After hearing Zhang Chun's intention, Li Bao was stunned, and his heart came alive when he was upside down. Betrayal or not betrayal is basically not a problem here in Li Bao, and there is no guilt in his heart. The key is what benefits he can get in the end in the matter of kidnapping Sima Baobei and escaping Chengji.

Zhang Chun had already prepared his rhetoric: "I'll only say three points, you think for yourself." First, since you were attached to the King of Nanyang, have you ever been reused? Instead of burying depression under his hands, it is better to simply start anew; Second, it is true that General Ben has suffered some setbacks at the moment, and it is a difficult time. If you can help me achieve great things, it is to send charcoal in the snow to see the truth, in the future, I will treat you as a confidant, and after I have a firm foothold, I will give you an official and a knight to ensure that you are rich and noble; Third, Gao Yue's army outside the city was about to attack at any time. As his traitor, once you are caught, I don't need to say what the result will be, I know better in my heart. ”

In the end, Zhang Chun said in a tone that he imagined for Li Bao's position: "Don't worry, when we go to Chengji, we will imprison Sima Bao as a puppet, and then recruit people in his name, and then slowly develop." It's really not okay, and it's not impossible to go far away. You don't have to be tolerated by Sima Bao now, and you have become enemies with Gao Yue, and you basically have nowhere to go. In short, only by following me and listening to my arrangements can we have a good way out. ”

Although Zhang Chun coaxed and deceived and threatened, what he said was not unreasonable, especially from Li Bao's point of view, there was indeed no other good way to go for a while. So Li Bao thought about it for a while, and when he nodded his head, he expressed his willingness to work together to do great things.

Zhang Chun sneered in his heart, and secretly said that Li Bao was really a stupid person. But he finally succeeded in pulling Li Bao into the water. So the two made a preliminary agreement, and Zhang Chunyan said that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, so he quickly went out. Li Bao swept away his depressed mood and excitedly looked forward to the future.

So that night, Zhang Chun and others, led more than 2,000 people from the old department, and suddenly attacked the Nanyang Palace, but there were rebels who killed them, and pulled Sima Bao, who was startled from Fang Cong's sleep, out of bed, and rushed out of the north gate with a swarm of bees, and went straight to Chengji City, and called to open the city gate in the name of Sima Bao, so as to completely control Chengji City.

Sima Bao had woken up from his sleep when he was rushed in by a group of unidentified heavily armed men. At first, he thought that he was captured by Gao Yuejun, and he was frightened and afraid that he almost wanted to faint, but later he felt that something was wrong, and when he left Beicheng, he found that it was his subordinates who rebelled! Sima Bao was furious and scolded loudly, he was not really confused, although it seemed that Li Bao was the leader, but Sima Bao knew very well in his heart that Li Bao, who had no foundation in Shangqi, was not even a pawn, and the real manipulator behind the scenes must be Zhang Chun.

After arriving in Chengji, Sima Bao was immediately controlled and placed under house arrest in a small courtyard house, surrounded by a large number of soldiers to guard him, although food, clothing, shelter and transportation were still provided as usual for the time being, but in fact he was like a prisoner. After a few days, Zhang Chun came to see him, and asked for the seal of the king of Nanyang when he opened his mouth, but Sima Bao sternly refused, and scolded him even more, saying that Zhang Chungou was bold, either let him go, or kill the master; If you dare to force it, you will immediately break the seal. Zhang Chun has been listening to errands in the palace since he was a child, and he has accumulated the power of his years, and he still muttered a little subconsciously, so he had to leave in a huff.

But large and small affairs and official documents need to be stamped with seals to increase their weight, Zhang Chun did not give up after all, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward again, so he sent Yang Ci to persuade him with good words, but he was still scolded by Sima Bao in front of him. Sima Bao was furious, and he also picked up the teacup and threw it, almost smashing Yang Ci's head and face. Panicked, Yang Ci fled with a smoke, and reported to Zhang Chun in frustration, saying that Sima Bao not only did not give the seal, but also threatened that Zhang Chun was so rebellious, heaven and earth would not tolerate it, and there would be no good end in the future.

When Zhang Chun heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table, paced back and forth in the house like a vicious wolf, suddenly stopped, beckoned Yang Ci to come closer, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Simply, go and ask Li Bao to go again, hint to him, if it doesn't work, use force, any means can be, anyway, just let him make the first bird and let him be a murderous knife." ”

Zhang Chun was vicious for a while. But Yang Ci was still more or less sober, and seeing Zhang Chun's face full of hideous and twisted, he couldn't help but hesitate: "...... It's not right to be so afraid. I understand the general's feelings, but even if he wants to get rid of him, at least not now. Now that the King of Nanyang is in our hands, we can have a gold-lettered signboard, whether it is fighting or surrendering, there is room for turnaround, and we can also use his name to deal with many things that we didn't want to do. Generals think twice? ”

Zhang Chun was like a wolf and a jackal, going back and forth in the house. After a long while, he stopped, exhaled and said, "You're right, you really can't act rashly right now. When we have a firm foothold in the future, or when the situation is irretrievable, it is not too late to make plans. Forget it, leave him alone for the time being, the right to keep it, but it is strictly guarded. ”

As a result, Sima Bao was thoroughly supervised and lost his freedom most of the time. From an authoritarian king, suddenly demoted to a prisoner, and betrayed by his subordinates who used to be regarded as confidants, Sima Bao couldn't accept this huge disparity at all, slapping the table in his residence every day, smashing things, and scolding. However, Zhang Chun didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, never looked at him, and deliberately instigated Li Bao to "control" Sima Bao. Li Bao was treated coldly by Sima Bao in the past, and he was very disappointed and hateful. Now that he was able to reprimand and scold him in person, he was even more excited, and he didn't need Zhang Chun to hint more, he always walked away, poked his fingers and said no disrespects to Sima Bao, and felt extremely comfortable raising his eyebrows in his heart.
