The outward movement of the troops of the West Inner Battalion officially began three days ago, and tens of thousands of troops were transferred out of the Forbidden Garden in batches and steps, and were scattered into five large battalions on the periphery.

The five large battalions on the periphery were originally stationed hundreds of thousands of government soldiers who had withdrawn from Liaodong, from Yingyang Mansion, all counties in the world, but their fate had already been decided, and the dissolution began to be carried out gradually from the time of Liaodong, and after several months of batch dismissal, there were less than 30,000 people left in hundreds of thousands of government soldiers, all of whom were the most elite soldiers.

These 30,000 elites have been taken over by General Hu Benlang, who will merge with Yuwenshu's Xiaoguo Army to form a new Xiaoguo Guard, which will become the direct Xiaoguo Army of Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven.

In the three Goguryeo battles, the army of Beishenfu controlled by the Guanlong nobles was wiped out, and the army of Yingyangfu controlled by the wealthy nobles in various places was basically disbanded, and the army of Luoyang and Chang'an was left with only 200,000 Xiaoguo troops loyal to the emperor and 30,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the palace.

In addition, there were 11 counterinsurgency armies under the direct management of the Ministry of War in various localities, and the commanders were all appointed by Yang Guang himself.

Such as the Qizhou Army led by Zhang Xutuo, the Xuzhou Army led by Yang Yichen, the Youzhou Army led by Guo Xuan, the Eastern Wu Army led by Yujuluo, the Jingxiang Army led by Tu Wanxu, the Jianghuai Army led by Wang Shichong, the Taiyuan Army led by Li Yuan, the Hedong Army led by Song Laosheng, the Liyang Army led by Chen Ling, the Longxi Army led by Qu Tutong, the Bashu Army led by Dong Chun and so on.

To some extent, Yang Guang has completed his army reform, but the ending may not be as happy as he originally imagined, the soldiers returned to their hometowns, and were often recruited by the wealthy families in various places and became the private army of the wealthy families in various places, and the army still existed, but in a different form.

The tents in the western camp have disappeared, and the last few hundred tents remain, stationed with Jang Hyun's army, which is the last to move out, and they will be transferred to the southern camp.

At this time, in a big tent in the barracks, Zhang Xuanzheng and Zhou Fashang said goodbye for the last time. Zhou Fashang was named the general of Zuo Wuwei and the general guard of Jingzhou, replacing Tu Wanxu, who was transferred back to Luoyang for failing to suppress bandits.

"It's really unexpected, but the Holy One is still merciful, and can put back most of the low-level generals who have closed the door. Even if I leave, I won't be worried. Zhou Fashang smiled bitterly and drank all the wine in the cup.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not unexpected, this is the result of King Yan's efforts." ”

"Have you seen King Yan?" Zhou Fashang asked anxiously.

Zhang Xuan nodded, and Zhou Fashang slapped his forehead. No wonder things have taken a turn for the better, it turned out that King Yan was working in the back, but it was really regrettable that Laihu'er could not be put back.

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Although things have taken a turn for the better, the crisis has not been resolved, I heard that Yu Shiji insisted on disbanding the former army, so this time all the troops were dispersed to the battalions, I guess it is a sign of disbandment." ”

Zhou Fashang patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder, "You have done your best, in fact, you can also go to Jingzhou with me." We're building a new elite army. ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, his eyes were full of determination, "Thank you for the care of the general, but I will not be willing to let me give up my army, in addition, even if the other brothers are disbanded, they should be rewarded for their exploits, and I will continue to fight for them." ”

Zhou Fashang was silent, he knew that Zhang Xuan was not a person who easily admits defeat. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will persevere.

"Alright! I'm going to leave tonight overnight and can't help you, good luck. ”

"I also wish the general a smooth journey!"

．．．．．．．．

Zhang Xuan sent Zhou Fashang out of the camp. Seeing him and dozens of his own soldiers go away, there were only more than 1,000 of his soldiers left in the huge camp of Sinei, and the camp seemed empty.

Although the order given to him was to move to Nanda Camp, the time of the transfer was not clear, only that he was the last to evacuate, that is. As long as the camp does not be withdrawn for a day, he can continue to be stationed here.

In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't want to go to Nandaying at all, the head of the Nanda camp would be Yun Dingxing, the general of the Right Wuwei, this person was Yuwenshu's henchman, if he moved to Nandaying, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat, fortunately, it was up to Zhang Jin to decide when to withdraw the Xineiying, and Zhang Jin also promised him to delay the deadline for canceling the Xineiying as much as possible.

Zhang Xuan returned to his big tent, and a personal soldier stepped forward and saluted: "General, Captain Chen just sent someone to deliver a letter, which is on the desk. ”

Zhang Xuan's spirits were lifted, did Chen Xu make a new discovery? He walked into the big tent quickly, picked up a letter on the table, opened it and read it quickly, and was immediately overjoyed, Chen Xu really lived up to his trust and found Li Shanheng.

Zhang Xuan immediately walked out of the big tent and ordered: "Prepare the horse!" ”

Zhang Xuan sent people from Yuwenshu to look for a missing general, and guessed that Li Shanheng was sent by Yuwenshu to carry out the petition incident.

And Zhou Fashang also told him that Li Shanheng was originally promoted to Xiongwu Lang by Yu Wenshu, and Li Shanheng was actually Yu Wenshu's henchman.

The mystery of the petition incident was solved so easily, but the problem is that no one has any evidence, even if they know that Yuwen Shu did it, he is helpless.

The key is in this Li Shanheng, as long as he catches this person, he Zhang Xuan can regain the disadvantage.

At dusk, Zhang Xuan met Wei Yunqi and Chen Xu in a private house in Lirenfang.

"I'm curious, how did you find out that Li Shanheng was hidden in that mansion?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

Chen Xu and Wei Yunqi glanced at each other, Wei Yunqi smiled and said: "We first found that there was a person hidden in this mansion, and someone was secretly protecting it around, so Captain Chen came to monitor first, but at noon today, Captain Chen found a carriage that sent a teenager into the house, the key is in this teenager, he turned out to be Li Shanheng's son, so we can be sure." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Chen Xu again, how could he know that the young man was Li Shanheng's son?

Chen Xu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "We caught an entourage who came with the young man, and he confessed that the young man was Li Shanheng's son. ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and smiled at Wei Yunqi: "It seems that we have divided our troops into two ways. ”

Wei Yunqi smiled slightly, "I also think so, and I have made a detailed plan. ”

He handed a roll of paper to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan immediately looked at the roll paper on the table carefully, and was immediately surprised and delighted, this Wei Yunqi has an ingenious idea, it is really powerful!

Night fell quietly, and according to the plan formulated by Wei Yunqi, the third watch was the time for the change of guards, and Chen Xu took fifty brothers to rob Li Shanheng's family. And Zhang Xuan took Li Shanheng away with his own hands, first hiding people near Xishi, Wei Yunqi had arranged the vacant rooms in advance, and then went out of the city in batches after dawn.

Jang Hyun has changed to a different house. Just next door to the house where Li Shanheng was being held, only thirty steps away from the room where Li Shanheng was being held, Wei Yunqi had arranged for the soldiers to dig a simple tunnel in advance, which was the most brilliant part of the whole plan, digging tunnels to take people. On the sly.

Zhang Xuan had already drawn a sketch, he pointed to the house where Li Shanheng lived and said to the two teams: "Start at the third watch, the two of you will each bring twenty brothers, one is responsible for arresting people, and the other is covering, we must snatch people away in the shortest possible time, so we must not tolerate mercy, understand!" ”

"Obey the order!"

The two teams were clasping their fists and saluting, and hurried away.

At this time, only Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi were left in the room, and Wei Yunqi hesitated. Said slowly: "There is one thing I decided to tell the general. ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Wei Yunqi a little strangely, could it be that he still had something to hide from himself?

Wei Yunqi pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, I have long found out that Li Shanheng is hiding here, and I also know that the inside story is not so simple. ”

Zhang Xuan didn't interrupt him, and quietly waited for Wei Yunqi to continue.

"The person who hid Li Shanheng here turned out to be Xu Yin, Yuwenshu's strategist, General Zhang couldn't have imagined it!" Wei Yunqi smiled.

Zhang Xuan's eyes finally showed a look of surprise, this was really beyond his expectations, it turned out to be Yuwenshu's advisor Xu Yin hiding here, his mind turned sharply, "Could it be that Yuwenshu is pretending to be a thief and shouting to catch a thief?" ”

"Not really. I can be sure that Yuwenshu is really looking for Li Shanheng, and the problem is Xu Yin, he should have betrayed Yuwenshu. ”

Zhang Xuan pondered and asked, "Then who is Xu Yin working for now?" ”

"I don't know about this, maybe it's his own opinion. Maybe there is a bigger force behind it, so I say that this case is by no means that simple. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, according to this, this case is indeed not simple, he glanced at Wei Yunqi again, and asked calmly, "Why did Wei County Wei Ken tell me this?" ”

"My mission is to help General Zhang find Li Shanheng. As for some behind-the-scenes things, I really shouldn't say much, but I don't want the general to get involved in a high-level power struggle for a Li Shanheng, so I want to remind the general to think twice, whether to arrest this Li Shanheng or not? ”

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Thank you Mr. Wei for reminding me, but there are some things I have to do, although it will be dangerous." ”

"Why does the general have to do it, I think you can actually not do it, even Pei Shangshu said that you can be promoted to another level." Wei Yunqi stared sharply at Zhang Xuan.

Jang Hyun walked to the window and stared at the east for a long time, his voice was a little sad, but so firm.

"So many soldiers died fighting for the country, but they didn't get any compensation, so many soldiers fought for the country regardless of life and death, but there was no reward, at least they should be able to get something, let the dead rest in peace, let the living be fair, that's why I have to do it."

Wei Yunqi stared at Zhang Xuan for a long time, and finally he nodded and said, "I understand, then I want to make another suggestion, we might as well change our plans, start immediately, and go out of the city before the city gate closes, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”

Wei Yunqi's strategy was very ingenious, he used the method of digging a tunnel, secretly digging a tunnel, leading directly to the back of Li Shanheng's house, the exit was in a bush of flowers and trees, and they began to dig this tunnel from noon, until nightfall, this tunnel was successfully excavated.

A team was observing the exit for a long time to make sure that there was no one around, and then they rushed out of the tunnel with two agile soldiers, and quickly clinged to the wall, and the team was through the gap in the window paper, only to see a man sitting at a table with a teenager eating.

I saw a big black mole on the back of the man's neck, and this person should be Li Shanheng they were going to catch.

The team nodded to the two soldiers, they took out two bamboo pipes, and blew a large amount of fan into the room, and the team Zheng led several other subordinates to block the door, if the fragrance was seen by Li Shanheng, they would immediately break down the door and arrest people.

The effect of the fan was very good, only a moment, the father and son in the room fainted, the team was overjoyed, covered their mouth and nose with a cloth, led the soldiers to sneak into the room, carried the father and son and quickly got into the tunnel and left.

There were two guards standing outside the gate of the courtyard, and seven or eight watchmen were deployed on the roofs around them, but they never dreamed that someone would use the tunnel to rob the person they were watching, right under their noses.

With the sound of the rumbling drum closing the city gate, a carriage drove out of the Upper East Gate, and at the same time, Chen Xu led fifty of his men to attack a private house outside the city, snatching Li Shanheng's wife and a pair of children, and more than a dozen guards fell in a pool of blood.
