"Almost." Liu Cheng nodded, he knew that what Zhao Wende saw should be the recruits he had just trained, most of the veterans who had been refining for a few months had turned into bird hands and jumping hands, in order to prevent being discovered by outsiders, the training ground was a small school field in the city of Qianhu, Zhao Wende couldn't enter the city, so he was naturally invisible, and there was no need for him to expose his strength too early.

"There is a degree in the ranks, and the pace of stabbing is all acceptable, Lord Liu is a good soldier!" Zhao Wende first praised Liu Cheng, the literati in the late Ming Dynasty were good at talking about military affairs, and there were seventy or eighty copies of various training notes that have been handed down, but most of them are on paper. However, Zhao Wende was a senior staff member for a civil and military officer like Yang He, not to mention that he had always seen the standard battalion drills of the trilateral governors, and he knew very well that the most important thing in the battle was a high degree of organization. What was shown in the drill was that the formation was narrow and moderate, and the soldiers were able to skillfully advance and retreat in an orderly manner according to the order, and correctly use the weapons in their hands to attack and defend. Although Liu Cheng's soldiers had not been trained for a long time, they had already formed a conditioned reflex to the password under the rattan stick and fatigue training, and they could do orderly movements as a whole, which alone had already surpassed most of the troops at that time.

"With this army, it's easy to say!" Zhao Wende said with a smile: "He Renlong is not afraid, lest he be a thief, and when he learns that this official is coming, he instigates his corporal to rebel and harm the people." Therefore, I plan to disguise myself as an entourage of Lord Liu, and when Lord Liu meets with He Renlong, I will read out the order of Yang Zhijun and remove him from his official position. ”

After listening to Zhao Wende's proposal, Liu Cheng did not immediately agree, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Lord Zhao." Dare to ask, what is the reason why the last general will go to see Nahe Renlong? “

Seeing that Liu Cheng did not immediately agree to his plan, Zhao Wende's brows furrowed slightly, in his opinion, with his own identity, he came from afar with such a plan that was beneficial to Liu Cheng, and the only thing Liu Cheng should do was to kneel down and thank him. But Liu Cheng not only did not show a trace of gratitude, but carefully inquired about the details of the plan. Zhao Wende couldn't help but scold in his heart: "I don't know what to lift." But he didn't show much on his face. just replied lazily: "You and He Renlong's fellow colleagues, it's only natural to go to visit, right?" Do you want me to teach you this? “

"Lord Zhao, if you say that, then you will be forgiven!"

"You-" Zhao Wende was furious when he heard this, he stood up and said coldly: "Lord Liu, this is Governor Yang's military order, do you want to disobey orders?" ”

"This is a chaotic fate, and the last general will not dare to obey his fate." Liu Cheng said in a deep voice: "If it is according to the adult's method." Not only will the head of the last general be lost, but the adults will also suffer from the pond fish, and it will also damage the major affairs of Yang Zhijun. ”

"How do you know that it will ruin Yang Zhijun's big deal? In my opinion, it is clear that you are cowardly and afraid of death! Zhao Wende's face was gloomy as water, he took out a stack of documents from his arms, threw them on several cases, and sneered: "Lord Liu, don't think that you can come here now that your wings are hard, if it weren't for the big tree of Yang Zhijun to shelter you from the wind and rain." According to what you have done in Dunzhou, there are eighteen lives that are not enough to die. Yang Zhijun can make you. It can ruin you too! “

Liu Cheng picked up the stack of papers, casually flipped through two pages and put them aside, but did not immediately kneel down and beg for mercy as Zhao Wende imagined, but smiled slightly: "Although the last general is dull, he also knows that he can't do without Yang Zhijun's wings, but I can't speak clearly." Let Lord Zhao have a misunderstanding, please forgive me. “

Zhao Wende snorted coldly and didn't speak, Liu Cheng didn't think about it when he saw this, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao should know that I have an old grudge with Nahe Renlong. “

"So what? If not. Why should I recommend you in front of Yang Zhijun? “

"If He Renlong strikes first and kills the last general, then how can Lord Zhao take He Renlong from his post alone?"

"Hmph, I didn't expect that I actually looked at the wrong person, Liu Cheng, you turned out to be a gutless rat!" Zhao Wende sneered: "You are also a fourth-grade military attache of the imperial court, even if he He Renlong has an old enmity with you, he will not just kill you with a knife, doesn't he want to be an official of this imperial court anymore?" “

Liu Cheng was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Then why does He Renlong dare to kill the gods without mud and gods?" ”

"The two of them are just thieves who have been appeased, how can they compare to you?"

"I beg your pardon. Although the two of them were born as thieves, they were involved in the Yang Army, no, the overall situation in the northwest of the imperial court. As soon as these two people die, those who are appeased will definitely have no one to settle down, and the court's appeasement strategy will be over. If Yang Zhijun wants to redeem this defeat, the only way is to use He Renlong's head to save people's hearts, you know this, I know, He Renlong also knows. But He Renlong is not a fool, he has no grievances with God and no mud, and he has no enmity recently, why should he fight his head and kill these two people? “

Liu Cheng's face changed greatly when he said this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Unless he has a way to save his head." ”

"Not bad."

"But that's impossible, this is a big deal that has ruined Yang Zhijun, and the adults can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, as long as the adults are still in the position of the governors of the three sides, sooner or later they will ask for his head." Speaking of this, Zhao Wende suddenly shuddered, stared at Liu Cheng's eyes and asked, "You mean he has a way to let Yang Zhijun go to work?" “

"Yes, if the plan to appease is not successful, and the chaos in the northwest will arise again, Yang Zhijun will bear the brunt of it, and he will naturally go to work."

"However, he He Renlong is just a guerrilla, what ability does he have to meddle in such court affairs? Besides, even if the imperial court wants to dismiss Yang Zhijun's officials, Guyuan is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and if Yang Zhijun wants to kill him, he He Renlong will not be able to keep his ten heads. Not to mention how did he know that Yang Zhijun would not make a comeback, and when the time came, the past would bring up his life again? “

Liu Cheng sneered: "He He Renlong naturally doesn't have this qualification, nor does he have this ability, but what if there is someone behind him?" “

When Zhao Wende heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly said: "You mean that everything He Renlong did was instructed by the person behind him, and that person used He Renlong to destroy Yang Zhijun's strategy of appeasement." Forced Lord Yang to go to the throne. That's why He Renlong dared to do this, because there was that big man to protect him, so he didn't worry about losing his head, and he wasn't worried about Lord Yang looking for trouble with him in the future? ”

"Not bad." Liu Cheng smiled: "Of course, it may not be a specific person, but a certain group or a certain group of people, it depends on what Yang Zhijun has done to offend people." So much so that he had to pull Yang Zhijun off the horse after such a big effort! ”

At this time, Zhao Wende was already as pale as earth, as Yang He's senior staff, he knew much more about the political struggle above the court at that time than Liu Cheng, and he could guess six or seven points for whom's hand, he knew very well that with the old spiciness, those big men had taken the lead again, and Yang He was probably more than lucky this time.

"That's why you didn't dare to ask to see He Renlong?"

"Yes, Lord Zhao, I won't hide it from you, that He Renlong once took advantage of me to drink outside and sent assassins to assassinate me. If it weren't for my shrewd guard, I'm afraid I would have been a ghost in the underworld. If you think about it, Nahe Renlong also killed God Yikui and didn't get muddy anyway, and there was no shortage of me. Anyway, at this time, the soldiers were in chaos, and they cut me down and planted me on the head of the thief, and there are people above him, do you think anyone will vindicate me? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wende's face also became extremely ugly. He knew that if He Renlong killed Liu Cheng, in order to prevent leakage, He Renlong would kill all the entourage. If you follow your own plan, I am afraid that the probability of giving Liu Cheng a funeral is also very high. He thought for a while and asked, "Then Lord Liu, what do you think should be done?" ”

"It should be reversed, you go to He Renlong in the name of Yang Zhijun and remove him from his official position, while I lead the troops to sneak with him. Break it down in one fell swoop. As long as it can be taken down, Yang Zhijun still has a chance to get it back. When Liu Cheng said this, he saw that Zhao Wende was still a little confused, so he explained in a low voice: "Lord Zhao, if He Renlong heard that you are here." He didn't take precautions, because it was something he expected. With the protection of the person behind him, even Lord Yang dares to do it, let alone you? ”

"Not bad!" Hearing this, Zhao Wende also understood: "When he sees me, not only will he not be afraid, but he will feel a sense of relief, thinking that Yang Zhijun's methods are no longer enough, so he will relax his vigilance." And Lord Liu, you just took advantage of the situation and caught him off guard. ”

"Exactly, at that time, I will ask Lord Zhao to take responsibility for each other with righteousness and dissect the loyalty and traitor, and I will save some effort at that time."

"That's natural, Zhao is desperate for this life, and he wants to scold him for being a bloody dog." Speaking of this, Zhao Wende laughed loudly, obviously remembering the happy scene of himself scolding He Renlong. However, Zhao Wende's laughter suddenly stopped, and he asked with some concern: "Lord Liu, the Heren Dragon Department is known to be able to fight, I don't know you-" Speaking of this, Zhao Wende stopped talking, obviously he didn't have much confidence in Liu Cheng's army.

"Lord Zhao, please rest assured, what you saw today is just the recruit I just recruited, but it has only been training for more than ten days, and the elite soldiers are all practicing in the city."

"Ten days of recruits have such a weather?" Zhao Wende was overjoyed when he heard this: "If this is the case, I don't have to worry about it!" “

"It's just that this must let Lord Zhao go into danger alone, and I don't want to go."

"What's the matter? If it were upside down, I wouldn't have the ability of Lord Liu to lead the troops to pacify He Renlong! Zhao Wende laughed: "I have no enmity with He Renlong, why did he kill me?" At this point, he brought the stack of letters of complaint against Liu Cheng to the candle, and under the licking of the candle, the white paper full of words became charred and bent, and then burned.

"Lord Zhao, are you—" Liu Cheng asked in surprise.

Zhao Wende didn't answer, and he didn't smile until all the words turned into ashes: "If it weren't for Lord Liu this time, Zhao would have almost ruined the big thing of Yang Zhijun and the overall situation of the imperial court." When I go back this time, I will definitely tell Yang Zhijun everything that happened, and ask for credit and reward for Lord Liu. ”

"Lord Zhao, please rest assured, Xia Guan will do his best!" Liu Cheng hurriedly returned the salute, Zhao Wende did this obviously to show goodwill to Liu Cheng, wanting to make up for the rift caused by wanting to blackmail Liu Cheng with a handle before, so as not to affect the next action. But Liu Cheng knew very well that after the intensification of the war in Liaodong and the outbreak of the Denglai Rebellion, the Ming Dynasty was unable to continue to invest more resources in the northwest to help the victims, and the failure of the appeasement policy was already a matter of time. It is very likely that the black hand behind He Renlong's curtain also saw this, so he took the opportunity to give Yang He a fatal blow. But for Liu Cheng, there is another imminent danger, and that is He Renlong. He Renlong is not a fool, he risked his life to kill Shen Yikui without getting mud, and he must have gotten some kind of promise from the person behind the scenes. If these promises are fulfilled, and Yang He's protection is lost, Liu Chengcheng will be in great trouble. Therefore, the best choice for Liu Cheng is to kill He Renlong before everything becomes a reality, and Zhao Wende's appearance undoubtedly gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if you offend the mastermind behind the scenes, it is better than facing this crazy man who has taken revenge from morning to night.

After determining the general direction, Liu Cheng and Zhao Wende spent another half night finalizing many details, according to the plan, they would attack He Renlong in three days, and strive to capture or kill him, and eradicate this bane in one fell swoop.

Yan'an Ansai, Hutou Village.

After attacking and killing Shen Yikui and not touching the mud, He Renlong was very busy in the next few days, only the old battalion and personal soldiers of Shen Yikui were in Hutou Village, and the rest of the army was scattered in several relatively wealthy villages around it for the convenience of supply. Whether it was to justify his attack on Shen Yikui and not to get into the mud, or to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles, it was necessary for He Renlong to eliminate these "remnants of rebellious thieves".

Lines.

"Uncle!" A panting officer threw a few bloody human heads to the ground and said loudly to He Renlong, who was sitting at the top: "This is the head of Bai Jiu'er, Jiu Dragon, and Yingshan Hong, but Hao Shaoqi's feet slipped and ran away with more than 20 people." “

"It's Guocheng's nephew!" He Renlong walked to the officer's side with a smile and patted the other party's shoulder: "Good job, worthy of being the son of our He family, what about the thief?" ”

"All of them were cut!" He Guocheng said with a smile: "None of them are left, they are all outside, a total of three hundred and fifty-three levels, uncle, do you want to count?" (To be continued.) )
