Luo Shixin was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and waved his hand, "Hurry up!" ”

The soldiers fell to the ground, and Luo Shixin's horse was also led away by the soldiers, and he crouched on the mound to look ahead, only to find that the light was at least two miles away from them.

Luo Shixin breathed a sigh of relief, secretly scolded himself for being a bit of a soldier, he whispered a few words to Xie Zhiping, Xie Zhiping nodded, and led two soldiers with excellent water properties to Luergou more than a dozen steps away, and dived into the water silently.

Luo Shixin looked at the light again, and the light was on the shore, there were eight large lanterns, clearly hanging on a wooden stake, surrounded by camp tents, and he could vaguely see that the three-zhang wide Luer ditch was densely packed with boats.

Luo Shixin has participated in countless battles, and he has more experience than Zhang Xuan, and from the number of camps, he immediately judged that the number of enemy troops was about the same as his own, but he didn't know what the situation of the ships in the water was? Whether there are soldiers hidden in it or not, all this will have to wait for the scouts to return.

At the fifth watch, several scouts finally returned, and Luo Shixin complained a little: "Why have you been gone for so long?" ”

"General Qiyu, there are thief soldiers patrolling the river, very vigilant, we finally found an opportunity to come out."

"Alright! I don't blame you, what's going on on the ship? ”

"General Qiyu, the ship is full of grain, full of food, and there is not a single soldier."

Luo Shixin suddenly smiled, full of energy, "It seems that I am lucky and am going to make a great contribution." ”

He immediately turned back and ordered: "Pass my orders, prepare to attack!" ”

The first battle to clear Du Fuwei. It took Zhang Xuan ten days to finally complete it, and they successively annihilated more than 10,000 thieves at Bolongdang, Luergou and Jishan, and Miao Chaochao, the general of Du Fuwei's right army, also died under Su Dingfang's arrows.

Miao Haichao was purged. It means that the Sui army cleared the Huai River bandits, restored the navigation of the Tongji Canal, and Zhang Xuan successfully completed the first task assigned to him by the imperial court.

The military newspaper was sent to Luoyang in an expedited manner of 800 miles

In the side hall of Luoyang Wencheng Palace, the small court meeting attended by the important ministers has been carried out for an hour, and today's small court meeting is mainly to listen to Pei Yun's investigation and elimination of the Bohai Society.

The assassination case in Chenliu County can basically be determined to be planned by the Bohai Society, and the angry Yang Guang immediately ordered Pei Yun to rush to Hebei to strictly investigate the Bohai Society, and make sure to defeat the arrogance of the Bohai Society. Or even uproot them.

"Qiqi Shengshang, Weichen mainly went to Ye County, Wei County, Hejian County and Zhuo County this time, these four counties are the most active areas of the Bohai Society. Wechen has found out at least fourteen county orders and twenty-one county officials colluding with the Bohai Society, Wechen has submitted the list to the Holy Lord, and these disloyal ministers Wechen have all been arrested and imprisoned, just waiting for His Majesty to order severe punishment. ”

There was a sudden sound of stealing in the side hall. Pei Yun's report is truly shocking. There are so many officials who have taken refuge in the Bohai Society, and the power of the Bohai Society is so great.

Yang Guang slowly rolled out a scroll on the imperial case, and the jute paper was densely filled with names, this is the list submitted by Pei Yun, not only the fourteen county orders and twenty-one county officials, but also the famous families and local heroes who secretly support the Bohai Society, which Pei Yun did not say clearly, for fear of causing too much impact. After all, the ministers here and the Hebei family are inextricably linked.

Yang Guang can also understand this, and he does not want to expand the contradictions. If the family is involved, then the Bohai Society will not be able to investigate, and at least half of the officials in the entire imperial court will not be able to keep their official positions.

Yang Guang has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he has long lost the sharpness he had at the beginning, from never compromising back then, to now being able to compromise as much as possible, he has a bit of twilight in his heart.

However, Yang Guang still found a key point, why is there no list of core figures of the Bohai Society?

"Pei Aiqing, I want to know why there are no important people in the Bohai Society on the list?"

Pei Yun's face was a little embarrassed, he knew that this question could not be avoided, so he had to bow down and say: "Your Majesty, Weichen rushed to Yecheng, the Bohai Society has disappeared, Weichen can only find out these officials according to some reports and clues, but Weichen believes that there are more people who have not found out." ”

Yang Guang frowned, "I didn't understand, what does it mean to disappear?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, someone revealed the news in advance, and the core figures of the Bohai Society were transferred in advance, and Weichen pounced."

Yang Guang was suddenly furious, such a major matter was actually secretly revealed news, could it be that there were also people from the Bohai Society among his important ministers?

He looked sharply at the dozens of ministers present, and the ministers were uneasy in their hearts, but they were not surprised, it was normal for someone in the court to have an affair with the Bohai Society or the Wuchuan Mansion, and the background of these two forces was too deep.

The atmosphere in the court hall was very solemn, and at this moment, a guard on duty hurriedly walked into the hall and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Jianghuai has sent General Zhang an urgent military report of 800 miles!" ”

The so-called 800 miles expedited means that the messenger has to run 800 miles in one day and one night, which is not impossible, but the requirements are very high, and the horses must be changed continuously at the post stations along the way, and no delay is allowed for a moment, which is mainly used for important and urgent military reports.

This urgent military report sent by Zhang Xuan was obviously very timely, which immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the hall and diverted the attention of Yang Guang, the son of heaven, Yang Guang accepted the list and said to Pei Yun: "The matter of the Bohai Society will be discussed later." ”

He shouted again: "Submit the military report." ”

A guard hurriedly ran into the side hall with a yellow urgent military newspaper in his hand, bowed down to present it, and the eunuch next to him stepped forward to take it and handed it to Yang Guang, the son of heaven, Yang Guang unfolded the military newspaper on the imperial case, and hurriedly read it, and he suddenly 'bang!' The floor slammed the table and startled the ministers present, what happened?

"Good!"

The content of the report made Yang Guang's heart bloom, and the displeasure caused by the Bohai meeting just now was immediately left behind by him, and a smile bloomed on his face.

All the important ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it should be good news, Zhang Xuan's good news is simply too timely.

At this time, Wei Xuan, the secretary of the military department, stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, can you tell us what the good news is, so that the ministers and others can rejoice with Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "General Zhang completely annihilated Du Fuwei's Huaihe army of 15,000 people in the Huai River, and the general of the thief army, Miao Haichao, was killed. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they all praised Zhang Xuan for living up to his grace and winning the victory, and Xiangguo Su Wei got up and reported: "Your Majesty has used people properly, and I believe that in two years at most, Jianghuai's bandits will be completely quelled by General Zhang." ”

Yang Guang smiled, "I also congratulate Su Xiangguo, the military newspaper said that Miao Haichao, the general of the thief army, was shot by the junior general Su Dingfang, isn't this Su Xiangguo's grandson?" ”

Su Dingfang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It is the grandson of the old minister's family, and the old minister is very happy that he can also make meritorious contributions to His Majesty's killing of thieves." ”

Yang Guang nodded, "General Zhang's resumption of the transportation of the Tongji Canal is in Sheji, and he can be crowned as the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and the specific reward of the army will be considered by the Ministry of War, and it will be handed over to me for approval within two days, and he will retire from the dynasty!" ”

"Retreat—"

The palace attendant Yu Shi shouted, Yang Guang got up and walked quickly towards the apse surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

The ministers also got up and left the side hall one after another, and at this time, a eunuch took two quick steps and stopped Su Wei and Pei Ju, "Su Xiangguo and Pei Xiangguo, please stay!" ”

Su Wei and Pei Ju stopped, and the eunuch stepped forward and said, "The Holy Lord invites the two of you to go to the imperial study to discuss matters!" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Su Wei asked, "Can Pei Xiangguo guess what the Holy Lord is looking for us?" ”

Pei Ju said thoughtfully: "I guess it's the incident I said last time in Jiangdu." ”

Su Wei sighed, "I also guess it's that incident, the Holy Lord has reversed himself, it's not a good sign!" ”

The two of them were helpless, so they had to follow the eunuch to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Yang Guang stood by the wall with his hand and stared at the map on the wall, this was the map of the Jiangdu area, he looked very focused, but he didn't know what he was thinking?

Su Wei and Pei Ju walked into the imperial study, bowed down and saluted: "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

"Please sit down, two Xiangguo!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two sat down, Yang Guang also returned to his seat, sat down slowly, he looked at Zhang Xuan's military report again, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect him to be so capable, in just half a month, he defeated Du Fuwei and cleared the Huai River bandits, so that I can think about the incident last time." ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, he said slowly: "Since there are no bandits in Huaihe, I am considering transferring Meng Haigong out of Donghai County, do the two Xiangguo feel that the time is ripe now?" (To be continued.) )
