~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dead eagle and the letterbox went around and returned to Luoyang, but this time it was in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu twisted his beard with one hand, gently rubbed the letterbox with the other, and was silent.

The incident of the eagle being shot down by hunters or Hu cavalry has happened before, once in western Liaoning and once in eastern Liaoning, but it is the first time in the Central Plains. If it is an ordinary letter, it is fine, but the information transmitted this time is extremely important, and it is thought of that since the death of the Son of Heaven, the surface of the court inside and outside the court has been calm, and the undercurrent is turbulent, which cannot but arouse Jia Xu's special vigilance.

Although Jia Xu is very confident in the cipher book, even if it really falls into the hands of political enemies, it is difficult to understand the heavenly book, but the content of this letter is too important, but if the slightest bit is leaked, it will cause an uproar, and even bloody rain, he can't help but be extra cautious.

Hu Cong asked: "Do you want to send Orion to prison and torture him?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and shook his head: "No, put it back." You can hire a lot of money to hire their neighbors, monitor their daily life, and if there is no abnormality within a month, the suspicion can be removed. ”

Hu was convinced from his heart and took the order.

Jia Xu summoned the eagle-eyed assistant again: "Resend the eagle message." ”

After doing all this, Jia Xu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, still feeling unsteady, and immediately issued an order, asking all the subordinates to go out and pay close attention to the movements of the senior officials in Yongheli.

Jia Xu couldn't manage the stall of Si Li's Lieutenant Department, but before Ma Han left, he had already told Si Licheng if necessary. Shang Shuling can use him to mobilize the subordinates, and the subordinates must obey unconditionally.

After issuing a series of instructions in a row, Jia Xu was still insufficient, and then called the servants: "Please come over to Yu Ban and Zhou Cang." ”

Yu Ban's position at this time is the cavalry general, this position was originally held by Wu Chai, but the cavalry general is the same as the chariot general of Zhou Cang, both of whom are the main guards and are the palace guards, and Wu Chai's has been guarding the Yuyuan Pass and cannot fulfill the responsibility of the guard. So he is the same as Han Xi, another general. They have all been reappointed as the captain of the guard.

is the same general, but the soldiers and horses commanded are different and the treatment is different. Zhou Cang commanded one of the Son of Heaven's personal guards, the Dragon Wolf Guard, inspecting the Chongde Palace, the importance of his status, and the trust he received were no less than the two brothers-in-law of the Son of Heaven: Tiger Ben Zhonglang Fu De and Yulin Zhonglang Fu Ya.

And Yu Ban commanded the new army of Luoyang composed of Bai Bo, Xiliang and the newly recruited Liangjiazi, but at this time it also belonged to the Dragon Wolf Guard. It's just that both combat power and equipment are several grades worse, and the loyalty is not comparable. is also a guard, he can only lead the army to "stay" on the periphery of the palace.

But. This is exactly what Ma Han needs and deliberately arranges. You can't stuff all your own forces into the inner palace, it's unrealistic and impossible. Take 10,000 steps back. Even if you have complete control over the inner palace, it is not enough, once something happens, the army outside the palace can completely isolate the inside and outside, and catch the blind.

Ideally, there is a guard in the palace. There are soldiers outside the palace, and they are distributed in layers. So, once something happens. Unobstructed.

Jia Xu summoned the second general and instructed: "In the near future, we must strengthen vigilance and pay attention to the movements of the southern and northern armies, as well as the two armies of Huben and Yulin. It is inconvenient for me to recall the two captains of Wu and Han, and Zhou Lang will take the opportunity of reuniting with old friends on the sunrise to convey it on his behalf. Tell them that during the period from the funeral of the Son of Heaven to the return of the general, the soldiers will not untie their armor and horses, and they will be on call at any time. ”

Yu Ban and Zhou Cangqi solemnly bowed their hands: "No." ”

After the second general left, Jia Xu walked to the atrium with his hands in his hands, looking at the gloomy sky, as if his heart was also heavy. A gust of cold wind hit, blowing the new green branches and trembling, Jia Xu counted his fingers, and it was actually quite appropriate: Beji, dense clouds and no rain......

……

What Jia Xu didn't expect was that in Yongheli, a hundred steps away from his mansion, the heavyweights of the foreign relatives group who should have belonged to the same front would become the base camp for opponents to brew a counterattack.

Half of the secret letter was passed in the hands of heavyweight ministers such as Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Zhang Xi, Dasi Nong Zhao Wen, Zhi Jinwu Fuwan, and Yu Shi Zhongcheng Zhong Xuan. Everyone's expression is different, there is anger, shock, indignation, sigh.

Liu Ai and the Sima brothers paid special attention to Fu Wan's reaction, because among all the important ministers present, Fu Wan was the only one who had a heavy army in his hand and could influence the tendency of Hu Ben and Yulin Erwei at the same time. And the reason why Liu Ai chose to go to Fuwan's house to gather is mainly to try to persuade Fuwan. Without the support of this father, nothing would have been possible.

Fortunately, they were not disappointed. From a standpoint, Fu Wanben is in the same camp as Ma Han, keeping a distance from the Liu royal family, and the two sides are both cooperating and fighting. But this is the case that there is an emperor above, and the general pattern of the imperial court is like this. If anyone has ambitions to upset this balance, even if they are in the same camp, they will turn against each other – because it clearly touches their own fundamental interests.

It is clear that no matter which prince and king ascend the throne, as long as he is still surnamed Liu, he will be respected as the queen mother, and he will still be a relative after the subduation, but if he is not surnamed Liu...... Stop! It's chilling to think about.

After a suffocating silence, Zhong Xuan spoke first: "The highest commander of the Sanfu Eagle Eye is Jia Lingjun (Shang Shuling's honorific title), there is no doubt that such an amazing secret letter must come from him, no matter whether Jia Lingjun's move is instructed or not, we must stop it." ”

Yang Biao nodded heavily: "Yuan Chang is reasonable, Jia Wenhe has ill intentions and interferes with the selection of the prince, which is not done by human ministers." I intend to invite the queen to summon her into the palace to reprimand her, so as to deter her and make her jealous and stop. ”

Dasi Nong Zhao Wen objected: "Jia Wen and this person, cunning and wise, ruthless methods, the rebellion in Chang'an came out of his hands back then, who of us has not suffered from him?" Have you ever tasted or forgotten it? Such a character must plan and then move, and his mind will be resolute. Yang Gong's move was to startle the snake, and there were two results: he was shocked and relented, and he did not dare to act rashly; Or take a risk, desperate. If this is the case, Wen wants to ask all the princes here, are we ready to confront them? ”

These words hit the hearts of the princes hard, thinking about the dragon and wolf army all over Luoyang, the hall was silent.

At this time, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Jia Lingjun, not a tiger, but a fox ear, everyone is jealous." It is because of its fox and tiger might, and it is fearful. However, now the tiger roars in the south, and the flawless north looks north, if you don't take this opportunity to hit it, once the tiger returns to the north, what can you do? ”

The words were amazing, and everyone looked sideways, but they saw that it was the person who dared to shoot eagles, bribe spies, and thus see through Jia Xu's conspiracy.

Liu Aimulu approved. He said: "Zhongda, if you have any good plans, you might as well speak up." ”

Sima Yi took the lead, walked out from behind the banquet, and saluted the ministers one by one: "Before Yi offers advice, please ask Fu Gong, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized?" ”

After finishing his gaze, he stared directly at Sima Yi, who was calm and half-loud. Only then did he say slowly: "Once something happens, the three thousand armor soldiers of the Northern Army, the Tiger Ben, the Yulin Thousand Guards, and part of the Southern Army. All can be ordered to move. ”

Sima Yi made a quick calculation in his heart, and said with his head bowed: "Half of Luoyang's troops are under the control of Fu Gong, which is very good." And so it goes. can compete with the dragon and wolf army, and Jia Lingjun does not have an advantage. ”

Fu Wan shook his head: "Zhong Da has never been in contact with the Dragon Wolf Army, so he doesn't know anything. By the order of the court. No more than 50 soldiers and horses can be mobilized without a tiger talisman, and if the general gives an order, no talisman will work......"

Yang Biao and Zhang Xiju remembered the crisis when Ma Han was assassinated, isn't that exactly the case?

Sima Yi paused word by word: "Therefore, the strategy offered by Yi is to exchange the captains of the eight passes of Luoyang. ”

"The captains of the eight levels are swapped and adjusted!"

The ministers present looked at each other, only delayed for a few breaths, and suddenly shouted in unison: "Brilliant plan! ”

Of the eight passes in Luoyang, the most important six of them are defended by the Dragon and Wolf Army, and only two are defended by the Northern Army. This is the largest group of the Dragon Wolf Army in Luoyang, and it is also the army that the Son of Heaven and the courtiers love and hate the most: love its combat strength and plagiarism, and hate it only to obey the orders of the horse. From top to bottom, this army can indeed only be mobilized by the Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven and the Great General Tiger Fu, but if the whole army does not move, and only exchanges are carried out internally, the rebound will be much smaller.

After the death of the Son of Heaven, the Inner Palace had made a small adjustment to the three guards, so it was normal for the imperial court to adjust the captains who guarded the eight passes of Luoyang.

This kind of adjustment does not seem to have any interference and unfavorable intentions for the Dragon Wolf Army, and the beauty of it lies in the fact that after the exchange of captains in the eight passes, there will be a transitional period of "soldiers do not know generals, and soldiers do not know soldiers". It will take at least two months to reach the normal state of command.

And Sima Yi hit this time difference.

"Yi wants to ask Fu Gong to persuade Jiaofang (referring to the queen), issue Yi's decree, use the Son of Heaven Tiger Talisman, and adjust the captain of Baguan. And strictly ordered the soldiers and horses of the eight passes, without the order of Yi, not a soldier and a soldier are not allowed to enter the East and West Guan Pavilion, let alone step into the Yang half step. ”

Yang Biao showed praise on his face: "This strategy is absolutely amazing, even if the general is here, it cannot be dismissed." ”

Zhang Xi stroked his palm and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, in this way, Jia Wenhe will not dare to act rashly, this sincerity is a soldier who surrenders without a fight." ”

Liu Ai also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again. Indeed, although they can't control the Dragon Wolf Army, they can disrupt the Dragon Wolf Army. As long as this army cannot participate in the dark war of Luoyang in the short term, Jia Xu will be like a fox that has slipped off the back of a tiger, and there is nothing to do. An imminent disaster of swords and soldiers can be eliminated.

Fu Wan also breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, it was true that he controlled half of the troops in Luoyang, but as a witness who witnessed the whole process from the Liaodong Army to the White Wolf Army to the Dragon Wolf Army, he knew the combat power of the Dragon Wolf Army very well. Although most of the most elite dragon wolf horsemen have been transferred to the southern expedition, even if only a small half of the real Liaodong wolf riders are left, he will not dare to fight against them. He is self-aware, and this is not a strong army that can be defeated with him and good equipment. If you can't fight, it's better not to fight.

In the end, Sima Yi made a prediction for the outcome of this dark war: "Jia Lingjun is also a wise man, knowing that he can't do it, he won't do it reluctantly, and he will eventually die down." In this way, without using swords, it can achieve the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. Presumably, the tiger that is thousands of miles away will also be alert. ”

"Soldiers, to turn the enemy into a situation, Zhongda's strategy has obtained the true meaning of this." Zhong Miao smiled at Gu Sima Lang: "If you make your brother succeed one day, you will be above you." ”

Sima Lang also smiled: "This Gulang wishes." ”

The plan was decided, and the ministers dispersed one after another, each doing his own thing.

The two brothers followed Liu Ai down to the atrium, and a cold spring breeze hit, knocking people's skin. Looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, Sima Yi took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "Luoyang, there will be a heavy rain." (To be continued......)
