A few days later, the Holy Lord's edict reached Qianling. Voyage gladly accepted the order, and began to recruit craftsmen everywhere. As expected, in the afternoon of the same day, Li Long came to visit the house.

"My lord, the emperor has really begun to change officials." Li Long said to Yuanhang seemingly anxiously.

"Yes, as soon as the oracle comes, it will not take more than ten days, and the holy decree will arrive, and then you and I will not know where to go as officials." Yuanhang shook his head and said.

"My lord, I don't know what to do in the future?" Li Long asked tentatively.

"What else, this dog emperor only knows that he is happy, and he has to gather craftsmen to repair the palace, how can he take care of sesame petty officials like you and me." Yuanhang said indignantly.

"What my lord said is right, now the emperor is mediocre in the court, how can these two things be done by the emperor." Li Long also echoed.

"Well, Daliang has such an emperor, and in a few years, he will be destroyed by Xiaoliang." Yuanhang's expression was exaggerated, and he sneered.

Li Long didn't say anything after hearing this.

"It is said that Xiaoliang's princes are talented and intelligent, and any of them are better than the current emperor, and I don't know why the old emperor passed the position to him." Yuanhang said with a sigh.

"It's not because he was born to the queen of the main palace, because he passed the throne to the eldest prince or passed the throne to him, there was almost a lot of noise in the court." Li Long said that when he was excited, he also called the emperor directly.

"Hey, isn't the emperor the eldest prince?" Yuanhang was a little surprised when he heard this, he really didn't know about it.

"No, the emperor is the second prince. Later, when he became the emperor, he trapped the eldest prince in Yuelong Villa. The third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince were afraid of encountering the same calamity, so they set up their own Xiaoliang in several states and counties under their jurisdiction, and separated from Daliang. Li Long explained.

"Oh, I see, I knew it was like this, it was better to go to Xiaoliang as an official at the beginning, and there would be no danger if I chose a wise monarch." Yuanhang said with a sigh.

"If your lord has this intention, the lower official will have an idea." Li Long saw that the time was ripe, so he brought it up. After hearing this, Yuanhang calmed down a lot, and secretly said that it was really his grandmother's hard work to get to the point.

"What do you think?" Yuanhang asked.

"My lord, the three princes want to raise troops in Yizhou to defeat the faint monarch, and then capture the back hall, you and I can join the three princes, the three princes are wise and martial, you and I will definitely increase the official and enter the knight." Li Long whispered to Yuanhang.

Yuanhang pretended to be surprised and looked at Li Long and said, "This ...... This is a rebellion. ”

"My lord, are you just waiting to lose your official position and be an ordinary person? What's more, the three princes have already had a plan, as long as the time comes, the back hall will be broken. Li Long said affirmatively.

"Are you so sure?" Yuanhang asked worriedly.

Seeing that Yuanhang was so timid, Li Long also relaxed his vigilance a little, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the strength of the back hall is only 50,000, and the third prince has no less than 100,000 troops from the two states. Once the troops are dispatched, the lower officials will close the gate of Qianling City, so that the news will be blocked, and the states will not know that something has happened in the back hall. Even if you know, it doesn't matter, Qianling is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I only need 10,000 soldiers and horses to drag the reinforcements from various states. At that time, 20,000 troops attacked the back hall from Qianling, and attacked from both sides, and the back hall had a reason not to be broken. ”

After hearing this, Yuanhang nodded and said, "This plan is very good, but I don't know that Lord Li has already made such a clever plan with the third prince, why do you want to tell me?" ”

"Hehe, my lord, there are six county towns from Qianling to Houtang, all of which are under the jurisdiction of your lordship. If the adults have wholesaled the customs clearance paperwork, then my officers and soldiers will be able to reach it all the way. ”

"Oh, I see. If it weren't for my papers, the garrisons of the counties would have done their best to block it, and if they couldn't stop your troops, you would have lost half of them, and you would have delayed too much. Yuanhang suddenly realized.

"Hehe, my lord is smart." Li Long said with a smile.

"Haha, it seems that I'm still very useful." Voyage laughed.

"My lord said that I laughed, the third prince has agreed, and I will reuse my lord after the matter is completed." Li Long hurriedly threw out the bait and said.

"Well, that's good. According to the adults, I don't know when the paperwork will be issued? Yuanhang asked.

"This is not in a hurry, wait for me to send a letter to the third prince, everything is ready." Li Long replied.

"Be quick, otherwise you and I will have been transferred away by then, and it won't be a big deal." Yuanhang said anxiously.

"It's natural, don't worry. Come back in a few days. After Li Long finished speaking, he got up and left.

After Li Long left, he sailed in a cold sweat. At the beginning, he said that the location of the back hall was not suitable for the capital, and only considered being too close to Xiaoliang, but did not consider that if the Qianling was really closed, the messengers of the back hall would not be able to reach the states at all. Li Long has 30,000 troops in his hands, and it is almost impossible for the back hall to open the roads to the states. It seems that after this incident, the emperor will be persuaded to move the capital.

Li Mo walked in and said, "My lord, there is a visitor. ”

"Who?" Yuanhang asked.

"I'm already waiting in the back room, please go." Li Mo didn't answer, just asked to sail over.

Yuanhang looked at Li Mo and felt strange in his heart, how could a visitor from his house have already entered the mansion without his consent. Seeing that Li Mo didn't say anything, he got up and followed him to the back house.

When I walked into a room, I saw a man standing in the middle of the house with his back to the door.

"Who is Your Excellency? Why don't you show your face to me when you come to my house? After Yuanhang finished speaking, he sat down in the chair first.

"Why, it doesn't seem to be welcome." The man turned to Yuanhang and smiled.

"Oops! It turned out to be Lord Situ. Yuanhang hurriedly got up and saluted. The person who came was actually Zuo Siwei Situ Hao.

"Hehe, don't be polite." Situ Hao came over to help him up and said, "The Holy Lord has already told me about your plan and sent me to help you succeed. ”

"Thank you, brother emperor, it's interesting." Yuanhang laughed.

Situ Hao was speechless when he saw Yuanhang calling the emperor brother.

"My lord is here, what about the back hall? Who can lead troops to protect the emperor. Yuan Hang asked after thinking about it.

"Nothing, there is a good general. Besides, after this matter is dealt with, I will be able to return to the back hall in less than two days. Situ Hao didn't invite himself to sit down when he saw Yuanhang, and he sat down by himself unceremoniously.

"Aren't you going back to the house?" Yuanhang asked.

"No, this time I came secretly, no one knows, you and I will discuss how to deal with it." Situ Hao replied.

Yuanhang listened to what Li Long and himself said, and Situ Hao was also shocked. Even calling himself careless almost hurt the beam. The two discussed in the house until dusk, and dinner was also brought into the house by Li Mo to eat.

"Uncle." As long as it is not official business, Yuanhang will almost call Situ Hao his uncle. "This Li Mo once instructed me at the beginning, but I don't know ...... him"

"He is my confidant, and I left him in Qianling to take care of my family. When I learned that you had come here to be a county guard, I wrote to him to help you with all my might. ”

"Oh, no wonder." After a thorough understanding, Yuanhang has classified Li Mo as his own, but he can't ask him to help when he goes to Yilan in the future.

Five days later, Li Long waited for the messenger of the three princes in the garrison mansion. He informed Li Long that he was scheduled to send 120,000 troops to attack Houtang on March 12, and ordered Li Long to close the Qianling City Gate at the same time and send 20,000 troops to attack Houtang on both sides. Li Long calculated the time, and there were still five days left, so he called his cronies and asked, "Is there anything unusual in Qianling recently?" ”

"Back to my lord, there is nothing unusual. It's just that in recent days, quite a lot of people have come from various states, and they have passed through the city to the back hall, and have not stayed in the city for a long time. The cronie replied.

"Who are they?" Li Long asked vigilantly.

"They are all dressed up as craftsmen, and they should be sent to the back hall by various states and counties to repair the palace." The cronie said.

"Well, pay more attention to suspicious people, send spies to the direction of Jingzhou fifty miles, and report in time if there is anything wrong." Li Long commanded.

"Yes, sir." The cronies stepped back.

Li Long ordered people to prepare horses and went out of the palace to the county guard's mansion.

"My lord, everything is in order. March 12 troops. Li Long whispered to Yuanhang.

"Well, I'm all ready here, and on that day I will send all the officials to block the city so that the people can stay at home." The voyage echoed the road.

"Okay, I'll guard the outside of the city, and the adults will be responsible for the inside of the city, and the adults will write the customs clearance documents to me." Li Long wanted to sail away to write customs clearance documents.

"Don't be in a hurry, it's easy to mess up too early. Five days later, you will arrange the team and come to my house, take it directly and set off, and you will never miss something. Yuanhang patted his chest and said.

"It's okay, it's still thoughtful." Li Long nodded and said goodbye. Yuanhang hurriedly returned to the back house and made a plan with Situ Hao to capture the thief. And sent Dao Zi to set off quickly to send the news to Zhan Hu.

In the early morning of March 12, Yuanhang sent officials to patrol the streets of the city and block everything in the city. After Li Long assembled his horses, he rushed to the county guard mansion to ask for paperwork from Yuanhang. Seeing that there was not a single common person in the city, he secretly rejoiced that his preference would come true.

Li Long wore armor and escorted into the county guard's mansion, Yuanhang was waiting for him in the living room, and after being polite to each other, Yuanhang said to Li Long: "Master Li comes to the study with me, and the documents should not be written here." ”

Li Long nodded and asked the guards to wait in the courtyard, and entered the study with Yuanhang. Yuanhang took out a pen and paper to write the paperwork, and said to Li Long with a smile: "Master Li, take a look at it, see if what I wrote is correct?" ”

Li Long picked up the document and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "That's right, haha, just wait in the mansion, good things will come to pass." ”

"Since there is nothing wrong, take it and wait for me to stamp the official seal." Yuanhang reached out to get the paperwork back. I haven't written it myself, so I have to ask Li Long to check it.

"Why don't you tell the official if there is something good?" Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door, and Situ Hao pushed the door in with the guards from outside the door.

"Ahh Captain Zuo. Li Long immediately knew that he had been tricked, and hurriedly turned around to seize Yuanhang to get out, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Yuanhang pick up a jar of ink and splash it in his face, and suddenly his eyes were all black, and a smell of ink entered his nose.

"Take it." Situ Hao gave an order, and the guards hugged Li Long and tied him up firmly.

"Ye Yuanhang, you dare to betray me." As soon as Li Long spoke, a little ink flowed into his mouth.

"Lord Li's words are wrong, I was originally an official of Daliang, how can I betray me?" Yuanhang laughed and said, "Tell me who in the army knows about this rebellion." ”

"Humph!" Li Long snorted coldly and did not answer.

"Master Li, I read that you and I are both officials in Qianling, and I will give you another chance. If you say it, I'll keep your family safe. It doesn't matter if you don't say it, at most you will go to the emperor and kill all the battalion commanders and above in the team, but your family members and officials can't keep it. Yuanhang said with some regret.

"Have you done the Lord?" Li Long asked incredulously.

"This official can vouch for Ye Junshou's master." Situ Hao said on the side.

"Alas! Well, I say. I just ask the county keeper to spare my wife and children. Li Long pondered for a while, sighed, and told the list of people in the army who knew about it.

Yuanhang handed over the paperwork to Situ Hao and said: "Your Excellency will immediately lead troops to reinforce the back hall, and I will guard it here, and I hope that your Excellency will have a smooth journey and triumph as soon as possible." ”

"It's too late to go now, I'm afraid the troops in the back hall won't be able to hold on, and it will take at least three days for this team of men and horses to arrive." Li Long knelt on the ground and said.

"Hehe, there are nearly 100,000 troops in the back hall, only defending and not attacking, what can the three princes do?" Yuanhang pouted and said to Li Long.

"What? 100,000, how can it be 100,000? Li Long asked in surprise.

"Stupid you, the craftsmen who have entered the back hall for ten consecutive days are not all soldiers." Yuanhang knocked Li Long's head and said.

Li Long looked up at the voyage, but still didn't react, did he use the craftsman as a soldier?

Situ Hao led the guards to the outside of the city, and Li Long had already assembled the team, so it would be easy to arrive. Situ Hao killed all the generals who participated in the rebellion, took out the talisman to take over the team, and marched to the back hall.

After the team left, he took the dark spirit officials to copy the garrison mansion, put Li Long's family in prison, and pulled all the valuable things in the garrison mansion back to the county guard's mansion. Le's voyage can't close his mouth. He also ordered the city to return to normal, and the back hall did not have to take care of itself, and went back to the house to count the silver.

Yuanhang looked at the room and smirked, Tang Ling walked in and said with a smile: "Young master, someone from Jingzhou is here." ”

"Ahh Who's coming? "Yuanhang felt strange, he had only been back for a few days, who would come to Jingzhou.
