Chapter 348: Countermeasures
The city of Xuzhou is still immersed in peace and tranquility, and there is no trace of calm waves.
Chen Deng quickly reported the Mi family's request to Liu Ze, that is, Miss Mi's proposal to renovate the room, Liu Ze smiled, this matter is basically not a matter, Liu Ze agreed to do it according to Mi Lan's request, anyway, the craftsmen are all sent by the Mi family, as for how much money is spent, Liu Ze doesn't care, the Mi family is not bad for money, is he bad? Liu Ze was more concerned about Mi Zhu's support for the ban on weapons, the Mi family was the first wealthy family in Xuzhou, and the Mi family implemented the ban on weapons, so that this decree could be implemented unhindered in Xuzhou.
The attitude of the Mi family made Liu Ze very satisfied, Mi Lan not only agreed to the ban on weapons in its entirety, but also made the 8,000 armed family members as the dowry of Mi Lan's dowry, which made Liu Ze even more overjoyed, with the support of these 8,000 soldiers, the Xuzhou crisis was more convenient to solve.
Although the third floor of the Fuman Building is a forbidden place, and Jin Yingwei cannot enter it with all his might, Pan Feng, who has many years of espionage experience, keenly judged that the rebels had already formulated a detailed operation plan and operation time.
"My lord, according to the opinion of my subordinates, the specific time of the rebels' rebellion must be set for tomorrow, that is, the night of the wedding!" Tomorrow is February 23, the day when Liu Ze marries Mi Lan.
"How?"
Pan Feng said: "After the marriage between the lord and Miss Mi came out, Xiao Jian convened the other five people in Fuman to conspire in Fuman that day, and this time the discussion lasted for two hours and a moment. It took the most time ever. After that day's deliberations, there were no more gatherings for the past two days, and the six people had no contact in private. The three families of Xiao Wang and Lu have completed the assembly of the family soldiers, and all the weapons have been distributed to the hands of the family soldiers. Cao Hong's Danyang soldiers have also made arrangements in secret, and the soldiers of each battalion have received orders not to ask for leave and not to leave the camp without authorization, Cao Hong's excuse is that on the day of the lord's wedding, the Danyang soldiers need to strengthen their vigilance to prevent anyone from making trouble. β
Liu Ze sneered: "Cao Hong's brain photon is quite flexible, so he uses this as an excuse. It is also calculated seamlessly. It's a pity that Baimi will eventually be sparse. What's going on over there? β
Cao Bao's attitude was interesting, and after he returned, as always, he neither transferred troops nor prepared for war. The barracks were as calm as ever. Cao Bao himself did not behave abnormally. β
"It seems that I really underestimated this Cao Bao." Liu Ze groaned slightly. Said: "Ziyi, I think your judgment is right, for the rebels. The night of the wedding is indeed a great opportunity, and I think Xiao Jian and others will never let go of this opportunity. A secret order was sent to Guan Hai of Shuyang, ordering him not to rush to the vicinity of the military camp in the north of Tancheng before dark tomorrow, closely monitor the movements of Cao Bao's army, and once he found that Cao Bao's army showed signs of leaving the garrison and marching towards Tancheng, he would immediately intercept it, and prevent Cao Bao from entering Tancheng at any cost. Xu Rong, the commander of Pengcheng, was ordered to lead the army from Pengcheng tomorrow afternoon, and to make sure to arrive at Tancheng before the third watch. Ordered Guan Yu to be secretly on guard and guard the four gates of Xuzhou, but no one must let people see the clues. The prefectural governor's defense should be wide on the outside and tight on the inside, and the combat readiness level should be secretly raised. β
Pan Feng raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord, my subordinates have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" β
"Ziyi, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Most of the masterminds of the rebellion have already received the invitation of the lord, if they are sure that they will do it at night, then in order to confuse us during the day, they will all attend the wedding of the lord, why don't we ambush the sword and axe at the wedding banquet, capture these rebel leaders in one fell swoop, and then close the four gates, capture the remnants of the rebels, and the rebels will be leaderless, and they will definitely be captured."
Liu Ze shook his head and said: "It is not a bad idea to set up a Hongmen banquet, you can capture the thief and capture the king, but Xiao Jian and others do things secretly, and there is no real evidence in our hands so far, if they refuse to admit their guilt, how do you think of so many gentry and celebrities present?" What do the people of Xuzhou think? I'm afraid that I will say that I, Liu Ze, are self-reliant in power, exclude dissidents, and kill innocents indiscriminately, which will inevitably make us fall into passivity, and if the three major families continue to stir up the people's hearts and incite rebellion, the situation will inevitably be out of control. Therefore, we can only respond to all changes with the same, and when their original forms are revealed, we can capture them in one fell swoop and confirm the charges of rebellion, so that we can block the mouths of the people. β
Pan Feng said shamefully: "The lord's thoughts are far-reaching, and his subordinates think simply. β
Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "In his position, Ziyi is in charge of the Jin Yingwei, and the consideration is naturally how to arrest the murderer and punish the rebellion, and when you really sit in the position of the state pastor, you will understand that there are too many things to consider in all aspects, weigh the pros and cons, weigh the profits and losses, and many things cannot be done with blood and impulse." β
"Cao Hong's Danyang soldiers are brave and resolute, not to be taken lightly, has the lord thought of a countermeasure?"
Liu Ze pondered for a while, and said: "Last month, I appointed Wu Anguo as the leader of the Danyang soldiers, and tomorrow morning I will transfer the commander of Wu Anguo to Changxi to suppress the thieves on the grounds that the Taishan Yellow Turban soldiers have committed Changxi, and if half of the Danyang soldiers are transferred, the danger in Xuzhou City will be reduced by one point." In view of the lack of generals in the Danyang army, Liu Ze transferred Wu Anguo to Cao Hong as the leading Sima last month, a move that Cao Hong was forced to accept, although Cao Hong was obviously dissatisfied. However, when Wu Anguo arrived in the Danyang barracks, Cao Hong did not give him the opportunity to lead the troops at all, but just hung up Sima's false position.
"Then why don't the lord transfer all the Danyang soldiers, only the private soldiers of the three major families in the city will not be enough to trouble."
Liu Ze smiled slightly and said: "If all the Danyang soldiers are transferred, it will inevitably make the rebels suspicious, and then the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, which will ruin our arrangement." Transferred half of it, just at the juncture, Cao Hong cried out in pain, but he couldn't say it in his mouth. I think Xiao Jian and their plans for action at night will definitely not act rashly. Of course, in order to make a good article, I had already asked Zhang Fei to send Yu Poison to lead thousands of people to Changxi yesterday, pretending to be the Yellow Turban Army, and making a big noise, which will definitely confuse Xiao Jian and them. "Yu Poison himself is from the Yellow Turban Army, and he is going to pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army, which is more like the Yellow Turban Army than the real Yellow Turban Army.
Pan Feng was overjoyed and said: "In this way, Xiao Jian and the others will no longer be suspicious, they can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and they have nothing to say, and the lord's plan is very clever." β
Liu Ze said: "Danyang soldiers are a treasure left by Tao Gong, if they are exhausted in the civil strife, it will be a pity." There are still 2,000 Danyang soldiers left...... Pregnant! β
Pan Feng saw Liu Ze smile weirdly, was slightly stunned, and said, "Isn't the lord having a clever plan?" β
Liu Ze laughed and said, "Yes, I don't want such an elite Danyang to be injured by a soldier." β
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Cao Hong was in a good mood today, and when he got up early in the morning, he changed into brand new clothes. After today, it is time for him Cao Hong to raise his eyebrows, when Tao Qian was alive, Cao Hong was Tao Qian's fellow countryman and confidant, and he was a figure in Xuzhou City. But after Liu Ze came, he was a son of heaven and a minister, although Cao Hong was still a soldier and a former lieutenant of Cao Cao, and he was still the commander of the Danyang soldiers, but the scenery of the past was already a passing cloud, and Cao Hong knew in his heart that it was impossible to go back to the days of infinite scenery in the past. Liu Ze forcibly stuffed Wu Anguo into the Danyang military camp, which made Cao Hong feel a trace of unease, Liu Ze's intentions he understood very well, but he still chose to submit and acquiesce.
With the four thousand Danyang soldiers under his command alone, Cao Hong didn't even have the courage to rebel, he could only prepare to be slaughtered, and he even thought of his bleak evening scene.
Xiao Jian's unexpected appearance rekindled the hope of Cao Hong's desperate life, killed Liu Ze, and supported Tao Ying.
"Captain Cao, your clothes are really magnificent, it looks like you are at least ten years younger." Sima Wang Hui followed behind Cao Hong's ass with a flattering smile, Wang Hui was his confidant.
Cao Hong glanced at him contemptuously, you know a fart, people are in good spirits when they are happy. "Sue the sΓΉ children, give me a spiritual point, you must not make any mistakes, and wait for my orders at any time!"
"That's it, today is a good day for Liu Yuanjun, Cao Duwei, you just have to rest assured." Wang Hui nodded and said with a huff.
Cao Hong sneered in his heart, a good day, yes, it was a good day, a good day for Liu Ze to return to the west. But that has to wait until after the second watch after dark, and he still has to go to Liu Ze's wedding banquet during the day today.
"Captain Cao, the officer of the state pastoral mansion has arrived." The soldiers guarding the camp gate came to report it.
Cao Hong was slightly stunned, at this time, Liu Ze sent the Chinese officer to the barracks for something, and ordered the Chinese officer to come in, but asked him what was the matter.
The Chinese officer handed over the token and said: "Pass Liu Envoyjun's military order: Taishan Yellow Turban Thieves and Kou soldiers committed Chang Kuo, and led the army Sima Wu Anguo to lead two thousand Danyang soldiers to Chang Kuo to pacify the thieves, and after receiving the order, immediately send troops, there must be no mistake!" β
Cao Hong's smiling face froze instantly, what, Liu Ze wants to transfer his Danyang soldiers out of the city? Could it be that the story of their plot to start an incident was revealed? Cao Hong's heart froze, this was clearly Liu Ze preparing to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and each one would break it, no! He must not sit still. Cao Hong's eyes became gloomy, and his right hand pressed on the handle of the waist knife, it seems that now he can only strike first, kill the middle officer, go out of the barracks, and cooperate with Xiao Jian to take Xuzhou City.
