In an elegant room on the fourth floor of the Huashan Guest Restaurant, Lu Ping secretly met with Luo Yumin, who came to ask for help. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This time Li Yuanji gave me the task of buying five Zhonglang generals, I had successfully bought Ren Wenlian before, thinking that by getting rid of Li Gaoqian, Ren Wenlian would be able to take power smoothly, but I didn't expect Li Yuan to appoint a general, but replaced Ren Wenlian, which caught Li Yuanji off guard, and Cui Wenxiang gave him an idea again, asking him to buy the five Zhonglang generals below, and Li Yuanji handed over this task to me."

"Did the purchase go well?" Lu Ping asked with a smile.

Luo Yumin shook his head, with a wry smile in his eyes, "It's not going well!" ”

"Why? Is the offer too low? ”

"Before the offer was discussed, others refused, everyone is not stupid, in the case of Zhou and Tang, no one is willing to be loyal to a notorious person like Li Yuanji, and if you don't do it, you will lose your net worth."

Lu Ping's smile disappeared and he asked, "What will be the consequences if you can't buy these five lieutenant generals?" ”

"General, the reason why Li Yuan's personal guard He Miao was appointed as the general of Jin Wuwei is because these five thousand Jin Wuwei are extremely important, they did the things of the prison guard, Qianniu Wei and Jin Wuwei at the same time, the nine gates of the palace city are guarded by them, and the Imperial Forest Army will guard the imperial city instead, if Li Yuanji can't control Jin Wuwei, there will be a big loophole in his palace coup, which will directly lead to the failure of the coup, I also thought that the five Zhonglang generals could win over at least two or three people, where do you know that they all refuse."

"You mean, let's go woo?"

Luo Yumin nodded, "This is the only way I can think of, they are not willing to be loyal to Li Yuanji, but they may be willing to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty, and then they will help Li Yuanji as the Zhou army, so that Li Yuanji has a great hope of success." ”

Lu Ping smiled and said: "Who is this coup d'état, mobilized all our resources, I work so hard for him, does Li Yuanji know?" ”

Luo Yumin couldn't help but smile and said: "If the general feels that he is losing, he can open his mouth and ask him to pay a high price to buy it, and I will give the gold directly to the general." ”

Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a suitable person then?" One or two? ”

"According to my contact, there is currently a person who is very suitable, this person is called Wang Xian, who is also from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his father, wife and children are all in Taiyuan."

Lu Ping finally agreed, "Okay then! I talked to him personally, so I asked my brother to pull the strings for me. ”

........

Luo Yumin's efficiency is very high, an hour later, in the same room, Jin Wuwei third battalion Zhonglang general Wang Xian accompanied by Luo Yumin to see Lu Ping, Lu Ping also the Zhou Dynasty in Chang'an Rite Lang Wen Yanbo also invited as a witness, once Li Yuanji launched a palace coup, Wen Yanbo will leave Chang'an and return to the central capital, that is, tomorrow morning he will leave, indicating that the central capital resolutely does not recognize Li Yuanji's court.

Lu Ping recognized that this Wang Xian was also a frequent customer of their wine shop, and they all called him General Wang at that time, but they didn't know that he was called Wang Xian, Lu Ping smiled slightly, "I am an old friend with General Wang, I hope my true identity has not scared General Wang." ”

Wang Xian is about 30 years old, but also in Taiyuan to follow Li Yuan to raise troops, accumulated merit and promoted to Zhonglang general, although he was born in Taiyuan Wang's family, but is Wang's partial concubine, he has no status in the Wang family, and his family is relatively poor, he often comes to the wine shop with colleagues and friends to drink, but he didn't expect that the eight-sided exquisite Lu Da shopkeeper is actually the head of the Intelligence Department hated by the Son of Heaven, and he is also the general of the Zhou army.

He was stunned, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "I really never dreamed that Shopkeeper Lu was actually ......"

"Yes! Most people would never have imagined that a person like me, who is basically familiar with all the civil and military officials of the imperial court, is actually the enemy's scout leader, so I am very safe. ”

The reason why Lu Ping dared to let go of his identity by chance was largely because the Zhou army had already captured the Great Disan Pass, at this time, except for the die-hards loyal to the Tang Dynasty, few people would bring trouble to themselves, almost everyone was thinking about their own back path, and Wang Xin was no exception.

Lu Ping said slowly: "Presumably General Wang already knows what we want to ask General Wang to help with!" ”

Wang Xian nodded silently, Luo Yumin had already told him.

Wen Yanbo, who had been drinking next to him, smiled: "Let's put it this way! We, the Son of Heaven, are very concerned about Li Yuanji's upcoming palace coup, and the Holy Lord personally gave an order to General Lu to help Li Yuanji succeed with all his might, and if General Wang is willing to help, it will be a credit, not a guilt. ”

Wang Xian was silent for a moment and said, "I can promise you to help Li Yuanji, but I have one condition. ”

"General Wang, please speak."

Wang Xian looked at Lu Ping and Wen Yanbo and said, "I hope to help Li Yuanji as a general in the Zhou army." ”

Lu Ping and Wen Yanbo glanced at each other, and Lu Ping immediately agreed: "Wen Shilang and I can jointly guarantee the general, recommend General Wang as the general of the Zhou army, I will personally report to the Son of Heaven, if the general can continue to make meritorious contributions in the future, he will even be promoted to a higher level." ”

Wang Xian was overjoyed, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you General Lu and Wen Shilang for recommending you!" ”

．．．．．．．．

Time passed little by little, into the night, Chang'an City as usual silent, the streets of the Xuanwu Jingwei soldiers patrolling back and forth, although there is no martial law, but there are no pedestrians in the streets and alleys, except for the East City will occasionally appear in the area of the people who are looking for fun, the rest of Chang'an is basically as silent as death.

However, tonight is indeed a bit unusual, even the number of Xuanwu Jingwei has been significantly reduced, the house-to-house search has completely stopped during the day, most of the soldiers have returned to the camp, and Li Yuanji, the king of Chu, issued an order that no one is allowed to ask for leave to leave the camp for three days.

The palace of the king of Chu was brightly lit, and in the inner hall, Li Yuanji, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, was standing in front of the map of the imperial city and the palace city to discuss the plan of action with several important staff members and henchmen.

There are a total of seven people in front of the map, in addition to Li Yuanji, the other six people are the military advisor Cui Wenxiang, the staff Luo Yumin, and the three generals Shang Shifu, Yu Shanqing and Hou Mo Chenqing, and one person is the eighth battalion general Ma Yaozong, these seven people are Li Yuanji's henchmen, but Li Yuanji never dreamed that two of the seven people were people from the Chang'an Intelligence Agency.

Luo Yumin was familiar with the situation of the palace, and he was responsible for explaining the defense of the various gates of the palace to everyone.

"In the past, all the gates of the imperial city and the palace were garrisoned by the Imperial Forest Army, but since last year, it has been changed to Jin Wuwei and the Royal Forest Army to guard together, of which the Imperial Forest Army is responsible for the imperial city gate, and the Jin Wuwei is responsible for the palace gate, Jin Wuwei currently has five battalions, of which two battalions are responsible for the outer patrol of the palace city and the imperial city, and three battalions are responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the palace city, and there are three hundred people directly managed by the general He Miao, who is responsible for patrolling everywhere."

"Where is the Wang Xian we bought is stationed?" Cui Wenxiang asked next to him.

Luo Yumin told Li Yuanji that tonight afternoon, he bought a Zhonglang general named Wang Xian of Jin Wuwei at the price of a thousand taels of gold, and whether they could enter the Taiji Palace tonight depended on the internal response of this Zhonglang general.

Luo Yumin pointed to the Xuanwu Gate to the north, "He will be stationed at the Xuanwu Gate tonight." ”

"Will there be a temporary change?" Cui Wenxiang continued to ask.

The reason why Cui Wenxiang asked like this is because the first thing He Miao did after taking office was to change the fixed defense area of each battalion, and the defense area of each battalion will change every day, I have to say that this trick is very powerful, if you buy a guard general in order to enter Yong'anmen tomorrow, but the next day, the guard general may change.

This is their biggest trouble, unless the five Zhonglang will all be bought, but it is obviously unrealistic, one is that the time is too short, only two days, and the other is that they can't figure out the details of the other party, in case the other party tells the secret, they will fail.

It wasn't until this morning that Luo Yumin finally decided on a Zhonglang general, and after two contacts between the two sides, finally this Zhonglang general named Wang Xian was willing to be loyal to Li Yuanji, the king of Chu, on the condition of a thousand taels of gold.

This result made Li Yuanji very unhappy, five lieutenant generals, four of them refused to be loyal to him Li Yuanji, of course, the other party did not know that they were going to launch a palace coup, but in the end, only one person was willing to be loyal to him, which still made Li Yuanji extremely angry, and he must clean up these bastards when he turned around

Luo Yumin shook his head, "Their inspection location was promulgated in the morning, and it will not be changed until dawn tomorrow." ”

Everyone looked at Li Yuanji again, Li Yuanji pondered for a moment and said: "Directly north of the Xuanwu Gate is the West Inner Garden, the West Inner Garden is also the camp of the Imperial Forest Army, the military camp is only one mile away from the Xuanwu Gate, although Li Shenfu expressed his willingness to support me to ascend the throne, but he also said that he would not participate in our actions, I have already talked to him, I set the time for the action, he will take all the Royal Forest Army back to the camp, once there is a fierce battle in the Xuanwu Gate, it depends on whether Li Shenfu can keep his promise, to be honest, this person's promise is too watery, I really don't trust this person very much." ”

At this time, Luo Yumin said: "Why don't you go and talk to Li Shenfu again." ”

"What are you going to talk to him about?" Cui Wenxiang next to him looked at Luo Yumin suspiciously and asked.

"I want him to understand that the saint is definitely going to abdicate, if Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, Li Xiaogong will not spare him, if Li Shimin ascends the throne, Chai Shao will not spare him, he can only survive by following His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I want him to understand the situation thoroughly, he is not helping the King of Chu, but helping himself."

"It's really necessary!"

Li Yuanji nodded approvingly, "I really need to let this person understand the situation, of course, if he has any conditions, even if he asks him to mention them, I will agree." ”

At this moment, a guard outside hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to the palace to say that there is something important to report." ”

"Let him in!"

A little eunuch came in a moment, knelt down and presented one, "Concubine De asked me to give this wax pill to His Highness." ”

Li Yuanji took the wax pill and crushed it, there was a small note inside, he opened the note and looked at it, his face changed greatly, his legs trembled violently, and he said to everyone: "Father and Emperor have fallen into a severe coma, and it is almost dying, Concubine De has temporarily blocked the news, let us make a decision immediately." ”

Cui Wenxiang said slowly: "Your Highness, it's time to make a decision. ”

"Your Highness, give the order!" Everyone said in unison.

Li Yuanji's heart was crossed, the arrow had been wound, and he had to send it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order and start acting!" ”
