Guyuan is the seat of the yamen of the trilateral governors.

King Qin's family ran to Zhenyuan to seek refuge. The Qin Wangfu was almost destroyed, and the Qin King Zhu Cunshu was frightened, and he didn't want to live in Chang'an City for a moment. Without the escort of the royal guards, the king of Qin did not dare to enter Beijing alone, thinking that there was a trilateral governor in Guyuan City who was much larger than the governor of Shaanxi, plus the governor of Dongchang Factory, and the general army of the Beijing camp was also in Guyuan, the king of Qin felt that there was a sense of security, so he went there without hesitation.

In the back hall of the Guyuan Trilateral Governor's Mansion, Yang He, Yu Gonggong and others personally welcomed Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, in, and greeted him with good wine and tea.

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, choked up with tears in his eyes and told what happened to his family in Shaanxi, and then looked at the three people in the room with expectant eyes.

Yang He, Yu Gonggong and Wang Zongbing were collectively silent.

King Qin asked in surprise, "What?" Did the Governor just let Xu Liang continue to do mischief in Shaanxi? ”

Governor Yang was very helpless and said embarrassedly: "In March, Gonggong Yu, the factory governor, went to Guyuan with His Majesty's holy decree. This official also carefully set up a bureau to trick Xu Liang into Guyuan City and capture him in one fell swoop. Alas, this guy was too cunning, so he turned around and fled back outside Guyuan City. ”

When Governor Yang sighed, Gonggong Yu took out the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen in time and presented it to King Qin for viewing.

King Qin suddenly became more confident, glared at Governor Yang and the others, and asked with gusting hands: "Since Lord Factory Governor already has the Holy Purpose in his hand, what are you hesitating about?" The factory governor directly led people into the Great Wall, and the decree was taken to take people! ”

Father-in-law Yu listened and didn't speak. Looking at King Qin's eyes, he was very puzzled.

"How?"

Gonggong Yu sighed and said: "Prince Qin is in Chang'an City, don't you know that Xu Liang holds the military power of Shaanxi." If you rashly take the holy decree and take people, once you provoke a mutiny. Who will bear the consequences? ”

"Uh......" King Qin choked, although he rarely asked about the affairs of the court in order to avoid suspicion, but Xu Liang, as the governor of Shaanxi, still knew how many soldiers and horses he had. Well, there are more than 30,000 people of General Wan in Chang'an City, more than 40,000 people of Luo Rucai in Pingliang City, plus 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Patrol Division. In addition, there are also the soldiers and horses of He Huchen in Hanzhong and He Renlong in Qingyang, Lin Lin finally counted, and Xu Liang had no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Lakh! King Qin took a breath, weighed it for a while, looked at Governor Yang, and said unwillingly: "Lord Governor, the number of troops in Chang'an City is only about 40,000, and there are 10,000 elite Beijing battalions of General Wang's soldiers on the Governor's side. Plus the ...... of Lord Hong, the governor of Yansui Uh, how do you see Lord Hong? ”

Governor Yang sighed lightly and said, "Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, saw that we couldn't hold on to Xu Liang, and it happened that there was turmoil in Yansui Mansion. Governor Hong has returned with his troops. ”

King Qin pursed his lips, and even Hong Chengchou left, relying on the 10,000 people in the capital camp alone. Can't deter the scene at all, the rest of the words. There was no need to go on.

"That'...... Are you just stuck in Guyuan City and doing nothing? "King Qin was disappointed. Looking at Yang He and the others, he asked angrily.

"It's a big trouble!" Dongchang Factory Governor Yu Gonggong glanced at King Qin and said, "We are waiting!" ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for the opportunity to capture Xu Liang...... Or wait for further instructions from the court. ”

King Qin was helpless, and said in frustration: "Then wait." ”

King Qin picked a place in Guyuan and settled the family of King Qin's mansion first. King Qin himself ran to the yamen of the governor of the three sides almost every day, and inquired about the latest news with Gonggong Yu, Yang He and others who were waiting in the yamen.

After drinking tea for several days in a row, King Qin's patience was finally exhausted. He walked around in the back hall of the yamen of the governor's mansion irritably, looked at Yang He and the others who were there with the old god, and stomped his feet and shouted: "We have a holy decree and elite soldiers, can't we do something?!" ”

Governor Yang and the others looked at King Qin boredly, and Grandpa Yu asked faintly, "How does Lord Qin know that we haven't done anything?!" ”

"Huh?" When King Qin heard the doorway, he immediately walked up to Gonggong Yu and asked in surprise: "So, the factory supervisor has already made arrangements?" ”

Gonggong Yu said proudly: "After most spying, it can now be confirmed that the strongest guards around Xu Liang are not the fools of the Patrol Division, but a group of Tsing Yi guards under the iron head. Among them, the iron head has the highest skill. As long as the iron head and Tsing Yi Wei are cut off, Xu Liang's life will be pinched into our hands. ”

Gonggong Yu looked at Governor Yang and King Qin with a smile, and said with a smile: "Lord Qin, Lord Governor, the emperor has agreed to the method that our family proposed to the emperor. The top ten killers with the highest martial arts skills in the East Investigation Factory have been ordered to rush back to the capital and are rushing here day and night! ”

King Qin exclaimed in surprise, "You want to assassinate Xu Liang?!" At first glance, thinking of the big losses he had suffered under Xu Liang's coercion, King Qin exclaimed with great relief: "Xu Liang, this guy is lawless, he should have cleaned up a long time ago!" ”

Governor Yang and Wang Pu were also very happy, with the dignity of the trilateral governor, to get rid of the governor of Shaanxi, not to take normal means, but to use the most primitive method of assassination, I have to say that this is the shame of Yang He, the trilateral governor. However, Yang He was also forced to have no choice. After the conspiracy of Xu Liang to deceive into Guyuan and capture it failed, Xu Liang seemed to have become a frightened bird, stubbornly guarding the heavily guarded Chang'an City, and even the meeting notices sent by the Trilateral Governor's Mansion several times were postponed for various reasons.

Xu Liang didn't leave Chang'an City, Yang He and the others were helpless, they couldn't fight with the 30,000 Liang troops guarding Chang'an in order to kill a Xu Liang, right?

The situation was so deadlocked for a while, and finally Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, couldn't wait any longer, so he found a way to lead the troops back to Yansui.

Chang'an City is heavily guarded, and the cost of directly leading troops into it is too great, and the outcome is unpredictable. Holding the holy decree in hand and going to the governor yamen of Chang'an to read the holy decree and capture Xu Liang is undoubtedly a method with the least loss, but after referring to the previous Shaanxi capital command envoy, the political envoy Qian Yongtai and others died, Yu Gonggong gave up this method very wisely! Send a master to assassinate Xu Liang and eliminate Xu Liang physically! This is the most direct thing that Governor Yang, Father-in-law Yu, and Wang Pu can come up with. The most effective way to do it.

"How long will it take for the top ten killers to arrive in Shaanxi?" Yang He asked.

"With their footsteps, the whole ride is the same. It is expected to arrive in four days. Grandpa Yu said confidently. The top ten killers are a group of killers who went out in person to collect the Internet in the rivers and lakes. These people act alone, and all of them have unique skills, and the factory governor Yu Gonggong treats these top ten killers with the status of the East Factory, and he will definitely not use this group of people when he is idle.

Now all the top ten killers are dispatched, just to kill a governor of Shaanxi!

"Four God! It should be in time. Governor Yang suddenly muttered.

"What? What did the Governor say? ”

Governor Yang smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at the people in the room, and said, "Everyone here is my own person, and it doesn't hurt to tell you about this." The Governor was also reported by the people below only the day before yesterday. Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, ordered a month ago that the granaries of all prefectures and counties in Shaanxi Province should be stored in the designated place, and when the military grain was stored, alas, there was still surplus grain in the governor's Guyuan city, and he did not care about this. It's just that General Wang and Governor Hong's soldiers and horses have been stationed in Guyuan City for so long, and the food consumption has also increased a lot, but the grain in the warehouse has been consumed. ”

Governor Yang smiled bitterly and spread his hands, and said, "The day before yesterday, someone reported that the grain in stock was barely enough for three days. Three days later. If there is no more food, the army of Guyuan City will run out of food. ”

Prince Qin, Father-in-law Yu, and Wang Pu all felt ridiculous when they heard it. Trilateral Governor. He was deprived of food by the governor below.

Father-in-law Yu slapped the table fiercely, with a fierce light in his eyes: "It's really fresh!" The little governor of Shaanxi dared to cut off the grain of the governor of the three sides! ”

King Qin asked incredulously, "Could it be that Lord Yang can't collect grain from Shaanxi Prefecture in the name of the Governor's Mansion?" ”

Governor Yang's old face was flushed, and he was also embarrassed by annoyance. "The local prefect of Shaanxi. The magistrate still doesn't dare to disobey the governor's orders! It's just that Xu Liangqing's grain storage is too thorough, in terms of the states and counties of Pingliang Prefecture. After deducting the basic rations of the government at all levels, there is not much left. A few loads like this. More than a dozen loads of grain, even if forcibly collected, would be a drop in the bucket for the nearly 20,000 troops in Guyuan City. ”

Wang Zongbing understood that after three days, there would be no food in the governor's palace, and the 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion he brought from the capital would also be hungry. The treatment of officers and soldiers in Beijing is the most generous among all the armies in the Ming Dynasty, and if there is a shortage of food, it is difficult for Wang Zongbing to explain to the soldiers who are behind.

General Wang stood up, stared at Yang He, and asked, "Your Excellency, this general led the soldiers of the Beijing battalion to the northwest thousands of miles away, how can I be hungry?" Xu Liang is too arrogant! Where was the military rations transported, since he didn't give them, General Ben personally brought people to get them back! ”

Governor Yang looked at General Bing Wang, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said secretly, if the place where the grain was stored was so easy to get, the official would not mention it, and directly sent troops to get it. Immediately, Governor Yang helplessly spit out two words: "Pingliang." ”

The grain of Pingliang Mansion was concentrated in Pingliang City, and there were Luo Rucai's 40,000 Liang troops in Pingliang City! Luo Rucai, as a Pingliang guerrilla, is an extremely arrogant and unreasonable person, except for Xu Liang's words, he doesn't listen to other people's words! In the face of such a person, who dares to say that he will directly lead troops to fetch it?

Mr. Wang is wilted! This place in Pingliang City is so hard that Wang Zongbing can't gnaw at all.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

After a while, Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, spoke carefully: "The grain orders of the entire Pingliang Prefecture and counties are piled up in one place, and the amount must not be a few. The warehouses in Pingliang City don't have much to do with Chang'an Mansion! With so much grain, the warehouse in Pingliang Mansion alone should not be able to hold it. ”

These words reminded Governor Yang. He called several staff officers from the Governor's Mansion in to inquire about it, and finally got a new piece of news: Luo Rucai transferred all the grain that could not be contained in Pingliang City to Zhenyuan County.

Wang Zongbing breathed a sigh of relief, Zhenyuan, as a subordinate county, should have no guarding force.

Wang Zongbing said that he would do it, and that night he ordered more than 2,000 people, collected hundreds of carriages, and when it was about to get dark, he went to Zhenyuan County.

When the team arrived outside the castle, the gate of the castle was closed. Wang Zongbing looked at the city wall built higher than ordinary county towns from a distance, and a sense of frustration arose. Although it seems that there are not many defenders in Zhenyuan County, and there are only a few dozen people patrolling and guarding the high city tower, Wang Zongbing has no desire to knock on the door.

Let's wait until tomorrow.

The group of 2,000 men spent the night in the woods outside the castle.

However, what Wang Zongbing didn't know was that when Wang's 2,000 men and horses just appeared around Zhenyuan County, Liang's spies reported the news to the guerrilla general's mansion in Pingliang City.

The guerrilla general Luo Rucai invited the prefect Lu Yifa overnight, and the two studied the intentions of Wang Zongbing.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Lu Yifa and Luo Rucai were racking their brains to figure out the intention of General Soldier Wang's sudden appearance outside Zhenyuan City at night.

"I also brought a hundred taels of carriages with me...... prefect Lu Yifa supported half of his face with one hand, and muttered: "What are you doing with so many carriages on the march?" Carriage ......"

After thinking for a while, Governor Lu's eyes fell on the big map in front of the two, staring at the small black dot representing Zhenyuan County, and suddenly stroked his palms and said, "They want to grab grain!" ”

Luo Rucai listened, thought for a while, and then was relieved, and sneered: "It seems that Lord Xu's strategy has finally paid off!" The more than 20,000 officers and soldiers in Guyuan City are finally going to run out of food? Ha ha! ”

Governor Lu was anxious, "There are tens of thousands of loads of military rations stored in Zhenyuan City, once Wang Pu wants to go, Lord Xu's strategy will die!" General Luo, did you send troops to Zhenyuan overnight to stop Wang Pu? ”

Luo Rucai raised his head and thought about it, then suddenly smiled very sinisterly, waved his hand and said, "Lord Lu is right." We will definitely send this soldier, but we will not send it overnight. Let's wait until dawn, when Wang Pu and those people grab military rations from Zhenyuan City and return to Guyuan, General Ben will lead his troops out again and stop them! ”

Governor Lu looked at Luo Rucai in amazement, "General Luo, why is this?" ”

Luo Rucai chuckled and said, "Lord Lu, Wang Pu and his tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion are stationed in Guyuan City, and Lord Xu is very disgusted with these. It's just that General Wang came on order and stayed outside Guyuan City, and Lord Xu was already dissatisfied with these old soldiers. Trying to expel these people but always finding no valid reason! ”

Governor Lu made it clear at one point: "Now Wang Pu personally led troops to grab food, this is the best excuse for Lord Xu to expel them!" Then Governor Lu thought more carefully and reminded Luo Rucai: "General Luo, you have to calculate the time of this troop dispatch, otherwise it will be too late to chase and General Wang will already be home." ”

Luo Rucai said contemptuously: "Wang Pu dragged hundreds of carriages back to Guyuan, how fast can this speed go?" General Ben will never let him return to Guyuan City smoothly! (To be continued.) )
