Chapter 26: An Shihuan's Conspiracy [I]

Although Li Cunxiao said that he would pack up after a day's rest, Li Cunhuan thought that this packing would be completed in two or three days. I didn't want Li Cunxiao's subordinates to take charge of the three states of Xing, Huan, and Ci, and summoned soldiers and horses from the three states, a total of 13,000 horse infantry troops, including more than 4,000 of Li Cunxiao's descendants, the Flying Tiger Army. In addition, there are the families of these soldiers, plus the people who originally intended to follow Li Cunxiao. There are more than 18,000 households in total. Plus bits and pieces of supplies.

In the end, under the condition of Li Cunhuan's urging again and again, it took eight days to delay before officially setting off. Fortunately, Ren County's raid gave Li Keyong deep pain, and Li Keyong did not appear in a hurry, otherwise Li Cunhuan would still have a headache.

In fact, if you go to Chengde and enter Yingzhou, you can return to Lulong, and this road to the north is the fastest way back to Lulong. Originally, it was the most suitable way to return to Lulong, but now that Chengde Wang Rong had just taken refuge in Li Keyong, he was naturally eager to show his merits. Therefore, Li Cunxiao and the others had no choice but to take a detour, go to Zhaozhou, and return to Lulong through Weibo. Fortunately, Wei Bojiedu did not come out to rob the house, otherwise I am afraid that I would have to suffer some losses. In fact, this is due to the factor of Li Cunxiao's illustrious reputation, and the title of the world's number one fierce general is not covered.

Now speaking of Lu Long, Li Kuangchou received Li Cunhuan's letter, was very happy, and summoned the military generals to come to the meeting hall. Allow the Registrar to read out the contents of the envelope. After the clerk finished reading out, Li Kuangshou said happily: "In this way, I, Lu Long, will have one more general, and it will not be a problem to fight against Hedong in the future!" This is thanks to Cunhuan! If it weren't for him, I'm afraid there would be no work today! Speaking of this, Li Kuangshou glanced at An Shihuan deeply.

An Shihuan originally ordered to lead troops to attack Chengde, in the name of avenging Li Congwei, in an attempt to seize Chengde. However, he stormed the Chengde gateway to Shenzhou for more than a month. Unable to capture Shenzhou, and at this time, Yiwu Jiedu made Wang Cunchu suddenly lead troops to attack Yingzhou, the back road of An Shihuan. Although Yingzhou was not conquered by Wang Chucun, it was also flanked by Liu Rengong and Wang Chucun in Shenzhou, and An Shihuan was defeated, and less than 10,000 people were left when the army of more than 20,000 returned. In addition, Shi Shanyou attacked strongly in Daibei and actually captured the military town of Ulzhou, and under the crisis, Li Kuangshou had no choice but to give up his plan to attack Chengde.

He ordered the army to go to Sinju, Muju and other places to strengthen the defense of the Hedong Army, and at the same time look for opportunities to recapture Ulju. Of course, this is a goal that is difficult to achieve, Shi Shanyou is a famous general in Hedong, how can it be so easy to deal with.

An Shihuan saw Li Kuangshou take a deep look at him, and couldn't help but bow his head deeply. He knew that Li Kuangshou was dissatisfied with him, and thought that Li Cunhuan, who was at odds with him, would come back, and he was afraid that he would be greatly rewarded at that time, and wouldn't he be even more miserable? In the face of Li Cunhuan, he was even more jealous and jealous. My heart moved, and I looked deeply at Yang Zhongping, who was sitting on Li Kuangshou's body.

Late at night, although a curfew had been imposed in Youzhou City, this was just a constraint not much thicker than straw paper for dignitaries.

An Shihuan sat in the carriage, protected by more than a dozen of his cronies on horseback outside. In the silence of Youzhou City, only the sound of the husband shouting and beating the gong from time to time could be heard. It seems that the entire Youzhou City is extremely empty.

"Your Excellency, it's here!" The coachman grabbed the reins, asked the horse pulling the carriage to stop, jumped out of the carriage, and said respectfully to An Shihuan in the carriage.

"Hmm!" An Shihuan, who was in the carriage with his eyes closed, replied softly, looked at the package on the left hand, and showed a look of pain. Take a deep breath, put away the painful look, and smile kindly. Outside the carriage, the groom was already kneeling at the side door of the carriage. An Shihuan naturally stepped on the horseman's back and fell to the ground.

Looking up, there are two golden characters written on the plaque - Yang Mansion.

On the one hand, there was already a personal entourage to send the name card in, and a Yang Mansion steward was waiting respectfully on the side. Seeing An Shihuan showing an affectionate smile, he said, "General, please come here." The lord has already ordered to come down and take the general to the hall! ”

An Shihuan nodded noncommittally and entered the Yang Mansion with two personal entourage. The steward led the way in front, and soon An Shihuan came to the hall. However, there were only two maids waiting at the entrance of the hall, and no one was inside. An Shihuan's face couldn't help but change slightly, but thinking that he was asking for someone now, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and walked into the hall with a smile undiminished.

When the maid who had a good spirit saw An Shihuan sitting down, she immediately sent a cup of tea. An Shihuan thought for a while, waved his hand and asked the two relatives to go out of the hall and wait, pick up the fragrant tea and taste it slowly, while thinking about how to answer it for a while.

After a long time, An Shihuan had already drunk the fragrant tea, and An Shihuan was also impatient. At this time, a tall and thin scribe in his fifties, dressed in a blue robe, walked into the hall.

When An Shihuan saw the other party, he immediately restrained the impatient look on his face, and said politely with a smile: "Mr. Changyun, it's so late, take the liberty to pay a visit!" Excuse me! Excuse me! ”

The middle-aged man was Li Kuangshou's think tank Yang Zhongping. Yang Zhongping said apologetically: "People are old, alas! This body is not very useful, and it is only now that I get up from the bed, which is really a snub to the distinguished guest! ”

An Shihuan's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he waved his hand with a smile and said, "Where!" Where! It's Mr. Changyun who is too polite. But in my heart, I don't know how many generations of relatives with female surnames Yang Zhongping have been greeting, who is old, what is useless, I guess I don't know what to do.

Yang Zhongping saw that An Shihuan was so polite, and he was even more sure of the purpose of An Shihuan's late-night visit in his heart. The two sat down separately, and Yang Zhongping instructed the maid to serve the fragrant tea again. He picked up the fragrant tea with a smile and took a sip, and then asked, "I don't know what is important for General An's visit so late?" ”

An Shihuan hesitated and looked at the two maids standing at the door.

Yang Zhongping smiled disappreciatively and ordered: "Everyone go down, you are not allowed to enter the hall without an order." ”

"Yes, sir!" The two maids at the door bowed slightly to Yang Zhongping, just about to withdraw.

An Shihuan said with some embarrassment: "Close the door too." After speaking, he said to Yang Zhongping embarrassedly: "A certain family was injured a few days ago, and the doctor said not to see the wind, otherwise it will not be good." ”

Yang Zhongping showed a look of understanding, waited until the maid closed the door, and then said after a while: "General An should be able to tell the reason for your late night visit by now, right?" ”

"Say it, say it!" An Shihuan nodded a little embarrassedly, with a look of pain in his eyes, picked up the package next to him and handed it over, and said, "This is a little caution from a certain family, I hope Mr. Changyun will accept it." ”

Yang Zhongping looked at An Shihuan with a smile, and did not reach out to take the package.

An Shihuan gritted his teeth and opened the package, revealing ten deep-sea pearls the size of a thumb, as well as ten gold bars made of pure gold, each engraved with ten taels of pure gold. You can get 1,000 taels of silver by exchanging it for silver, which is equivalent to 1,000 copper coins. The ten deep-sea pearls are worth no less than ten gold bars.
