The news that Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, had thrown away 10,000 Liang troops and only brought 200 guards straight to Guyuan Prefecture reached the yamen of the Guyuan Governor's Mansion a few hours later.

In the Governor's Palace, other officials who were invited to the meeting were arranged by Yang He to live in the post house, and Governor Yang arranged for several staff members of the Governor's Mansion to greet him.

Governor Yang himself, together with Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, the grandfather of Yu, the governor of Dongchang, and Wang Pu, the general soldier of the Beijing camp, gathered in the yamen of the governor's mansion and paid close attention to Xu Liang's whereabouts.

After getting the news, the four of them breathed a long sigh of relief, and their relief was as comfortable as constipation for many days.

Governor Yang looked at the other three with a happy face, and said with a smile: "As long as Xu Liang passes Pingliang City, half of the big thing will be done." ”

Father-in-law Yu was triumphant.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the three of them, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't be too happy, adults. You must know that there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses of Luo Rucai in Pingliang City. Who can guarantee that Xu Liang will not mobilize the soldiers and horses of Pingliang City? ”

"Uh......" Hong Chengchou's words were like a pair of hands that suddenly stretched out, nipped Yu's smug smile in the bud, and his face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy.

"Probe!" Yu Gonggong angrily instructed Dongchang Fanzi.

It should be said that the efficiency of Dongchang Fanzi is quite okay. Soon after, Fanzi reported: Xu Liang stopped in Pingliang Mansion.

"Why did it stop?" Grandpa Yu asked angrily.

Fanzi lowered his head and replied honestly: "Dugong, according to the news from the brothers in Pingliang City, it is Lu Yifa, the prefect of Pingliang. The guerrilla Luo Ru knew that Xu Liang was passing by Pingliang and deliberately pulled Xu Liang into Pingliang City. Banquets and hospitality. ”

Gonggong Yu gritted his teeth angrily: "We have to wait hard in this Guyuan City, he is good." Eat and drink spicy food in Pingliang Mansion! ”

Governor Yang snorted lightly: "Pingliang Prefect Lu Yifa, guerrilla Luo Rucai was originally Xu Liang's subordinate, and it is not surprising that these two people keep their old bosses." ”

"Probe!"

In Pingliang City, Lu Yifa, the prefect of Pingliang, He Qi, Lin Jialuo, Luo Rucai, and others accompanied Xu Liang to have lunch and were sitting idly drinking tea.

Luo Rucai persuaded: "My lord." The last general has inquired, and now in Guyuan City, in addition to the people and horses of the original Governor's Mansion, there are also soldiers and horses in Jingying, Jiubian, Yansui and other places, with a total of no less than 30,000 people. The northwest officials who went to attend the meeting were all arranged by Governor Yang to the post house. However, Governor Yang, Dongchang Factory Governor Yu Gonggong and several others were concentrated in the Governor's Palace, and they must be plotting something. The adults will bring these guards with them, in case Governor Yang has bad intentions. The consequences are unimaginable. ”

Lu Yifa, the prefect of Pingliang, also persuaded: "Yes, my lord." For the sake of safety, let General Luo lead the troops to send you over. ”

Xu Liang listened, but waved his hand and smiled: "As soon as this official comes out of Chang'an City." The Chang'an Mansion began to become unstable. Haha, some people have been planning for so long, just hoping that this official will enter Guyuan City alone. I sent back all the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought out of Chang'an City. If you come out of Pingliang and bring another 10,000 or 20,000 people, won't some people have to tie their hands again? ”

Xu Liang had a confident look in his eyes. said indifferently: "The official brought these two hundred guards to the satisfaction of some people." Give them some hope. ”

"Your Excellency!" Luo Rucai paused and said with concern: "But Guyuan City is now a tiger's den in Longtan." ”

Xu Liang sneered, "This official has his own plan. ”

When everyone saw that Xu Liang insisted on this, they no longer persuaded him. Xu Liang took the time to go to the Xu Mansion in Pingliang Mansion again, and chatted with Tie Siye, the grandfather of Tie Tou, in the house, and saw that the old man was in good spirits and there was nothing wrong with his body, so he came out with confidence.

When he set off from Pingliang City again, it was already the sixth day of the third month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, and it was the meeting time agreed by Yang He, the governor of the three sides.

Xu Liang and his party walked unhurriedly on the official road leading to Guyuan. Seeing one or two men galloping past from time to time, no matter how well disguised they were, when they passed by Xu Liang's side, the nervous eyes still made Xu Liang see the clues.

"It's so unprofessional!" Xu Liang sat on the back of the big black horse and sighed, "Even if Governor Yang cares so much about the official's itinerary, he is too anxious to look like this. Xu Liang turned his head and asked the captain of the Tsing Yi guard on the side, "You said that we came out of Pingliang City and walked for an hour, how many groups of people have run over?" ”

The captain's expression was far less relaxed than Xu Liang's, his expression was solemn, and he replied respectfully: "My lord, my subordinates can see clearly, it has been six times. Well, the two that came from behind were the seventh dial. ”

Behind what the captain said were two men who rode up from behind Xu Liang and the others. When the two horsemen saw Xu Liang and the others looking back, they turned off the horse's head, walked to the other end of the official road, and ran over. The two men didn't dare to look back this time.

Xu Liang sneered a few times and said, "Let's hurry up and get to Guyuan City early." ”

Governor Yang was indeed in a hurry. In the lobby of the Yamen of the Governor's Palace, the high-level leaders of the northwest who came to attend the meeting had already arrived, but the only protagonist was still hanging on the official road before Pingliang to Guyuan.

Listening to several batches of horse exploration reports, although Xu Liang's speed was not fast, but in the end, they were walking towards Guyuan, and the Governor Yang, Yu Gonggong and others with a stiff face would not jump like thunder.

A staff officer from the Governor's Palace came in for the third time to report.

"Governor, it's past the agreed meeting start time."

Governor Yang waved his hand in annoyance and said, "This governor knows! You go outside and tell the adults who are here that the governor of Shaanxi is still on his way and will be there soon, and ask the adults to wait patiently. ”

When the staff officer retreated, Father-in-law Yu shouted angrily: "Xu Liang is too arrogant!" The other officials had arrived a few days earlier at the meeting time agreed upon by the Governor, and he was still halfway there! Also in the mood to see the scenery. ”

Governor Yang snorted angrily, turned his face to look at Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, and asked, "General soldier Wang, has the army made proper arrangements?" ”

Chief Wang smiled gloomily and said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, the manpower and generals have been arranged." As long as Xu Liang enters Guyuan City, the last general will guarantee that he will be captured! ”

Governor Yang nodded in satisfaction and exhaled turbidity. Helplessly, he said, "Let's wait a little longer." ”

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, looked at Pingliang City, although it seemed at the moment. Everything is developing according to the route set by Father-in-law Yu, but Hong Chengchou always has a trace of doubt in his heart: Xu Liang is young. But he is an old treacherous and slippery person, with his power, it is impossible not to notice the abnormality in Guyuan City, but he really came to Guyuan City with only two hundred guards! Isn't the plot of this plan too smooth?

On the official road outside Guyuan City, Xu Liang and others stood on the horse to watch. A kilometer away is the location of the three-sided governor's palace, one of the nine sides of Guyuan City. Outside the city, there were few pedestrians and heavily guarded, military flags fluttered on the towers, and the city gates were left open. From a distance, the black hole looks like a bloody mouth.

"My lord, Guyuan City has arrived." The captain of the guard said.

"I know." Xu Liang replied lightly, and then asked, "Where are Wang Pu's men and horses camped in the Beijing camp?" ”

Hearing this, the captain pointed to the southeast of Guyuan City and said, "General Wang's camp is about five miles southeast of Guyuan City. However, at this moment, there is only an empty camp in the barracks, and the soldiers and horses have already been transferred to Guyuan City. ”

"Governor Yang's plan is not small!" Xu Liang sighed.

Behind him came two more horses.

The captain said sarcastically, "Eleventh dial." ”

Xu Liang shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!" ”

The Tsing Yi guard behind him immediately responded, and a flanking surrounded the two men in the middle.

The man on the horse panicked and looked at Xu Liang and the others nervously, "This adult has to do it." Do what? ”

Xu Liang smiled: "Pretending to be quite similar!" Taken! ”

Facing more than two people, the two men were very familiar with the current affairs, and obediently let the Tsing Yi guard escort to Xu Liang.

"My lord, we two brothers are just passing through here. If there is anything you have offended, please ......," one of the men sneered.

"Alright, don't pretend!" Xu Liang snorted coldly, "Governor Yang should be impatient waiting, right?" ”

"Me. I couldn't understand what the adults were saying. ”

"Oh?" Xu Liang looked at the two men coldly, pouted and said, "Twenty palms each." ”

Tsing Yi Wei received the order. Then two guards came up and slapped them. Fired the bow left and right at the two men, and the fan crackled. Two men screamed, one of them still shouting, "We're really passing ......"

After twenty slaps, both sides of the two men's faces were swollen. Xu Liang pointed at the one who spoke and said, "This person, pull to the side and break his legs!" ”

"Spare your life!!" The man panicked, begged for mercy in a trembling voice, and was immediately dragged by the Tsing Yi guard to the side of the official road.

Yes!! With a scream, the man was slapped by Tsing Yi Wei San and broke his legs, and he collapsed on the side of the road, so painful that cold sweat broke out on his head.

Xu Liang stared at the other man again and sneered: "Do you still insist that you are a passerby now?" ”

The ready-made example was placed in front of him, and the man immediately relented, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "The governor is aware of everything, and the small ones dare not hide it, and the small ones are the people from the governor's palace, and they are ordered by the governor to check the governor's itinerary." ”

Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction, "It's quite familiar." The official will not kill you, there are two sentences for you to bring back for the official. ”

"Your Excellency, please command."

Xu Liang sneered, then explained to the man, then got on the horse, turned the horse's head, and walked away with two hundred Tsing Yi guards.

The man stood in place dumbfounded, looked in awe at the direction Xu Liang and the others left, shook his head and smiled bitterly, walked to the side of the road, and helped the man with his broken leg onto the horse, the two looked at each other with complicated expressions, and walked towards Guyuan City with their heads down.

In the yamen of the governor of Guyuan, Yang He and Gonggong Yu were already waiting like ants on a hot pot, turning around. The staff of the Governor's Mansion had already come over to urge him three times, and finally he was scolded by Governor Yang pounding the table.

Finally, another group of spies returned to the city, entered the yamen of the governor's mansion, and stood in front of Yang He and others like frosted eggplants, and the cheeks on both sides were red and swollen, and slap marks could be vaguely seen on them.

Governor Yang hurriedly walked over and asked urgently, "How is it?" Has Xu Liang entered the city? ”

The spy wanted to cry without tears, covered his cheeks, and said, "Back to the Governor's words, Xu Liang has already arrived outside Guyuan City and stopped there. The subordinates passed by and were stopped by Xu Liang's people, and they beat their subordinates, you can see that the subordinates' faces are swollen ......"

Governor Yang interrupted angrily: "I didn't ask you this!" I'm asking Xu Liang where is he now? Did you enter the city? ”

"I didn't ...... They stayed in the city for a while, and after beating their subordinates, they returned the way they came! ”

"What !!" Yang He, Yu Gonggong, and Wang Pu all screamed when they heard the words of the spies.

"Back?!"

The spy nodded pitifully, and said again: "He also asked his subordinates to go into the city to talk......

Governor Yang was like a headless fly, and he was about to scold his mother with a blue face, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "What words, say it quickly!" ”

"Xu Liang wants his subordinates to return to the governor, he said that there is murderous energy in Guyuan City, so he won't go in!"

“……”

Governor Yang was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. Eyes puffed out and stared at the spy! Father-in-law Yu jumped up and screamed at Wang Pu: "This guy is playing with us!" They definitely won't be able to go far, Mr. Wang, chase after you! ”

General Wang walked away angrily, and called the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who were ambushed near the gate of Guyuan City to chase them out of the city.

In the governor's yamen, Governor Yang can't wait to cut people with a knife! Father-in-law Yu kept scolding and scolding in his mouth, scolding out all the ugly hometown dialects. It's just that Yang He and Hong Chengchou in the house can't understand it.

Hong Chengchou sat on the chair, pensive, not knowing what he was thinking.

Governor Yang was angry for a long time, and when he turned around and saw that the spy was still stupidly pestle there, he suddenly became angry: "What are you still standing here for?!" ”

The spy looked at Governor Yang very aggrievedly, and said in a sneer: "Your Excellency, Xu Liang also asked his subordinates to bring a message to the Governor of the factory. ”

Father-in-law Yu was stunned for a moment, and shouted in surprise and anger: "What do you leave for our family when everyone else runs away?" ”

The spy glanced at Gonggong Yu worriedly, blinked his eyes, and said, "Xu Liang said, he is waiting for you in Chang'an City......

The three people in the room were stunned for a moment, only to see that the face of Father-in-law Yu, the superintendent of Dongchang, quickly became bloodshot and reddened, and then jumped up and jumped like thunder: "Bastard!" I'm going to kill him! A thousand cuts! ”

The spy looked at the furious factory governor in horror, he brought the words that should be brought, and knew that this place was not suitable for a long time, so he immediately arched his hand and prepared to flash people.

"Wait." Suddenly, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, stopped him and stared into the eyes of the spy: "This official remembers that there are two people in each batch, why did you come back alone to report?" What about your partner? ”

Hong Chengchou's words immediately attracted Yang He and Father-in-law Yu, who was jumping and shouting. Yang He asked in a deep voice, "Yes! What about one more? ”

The spy had a look on his face like that of the rest of his life, looked at Governor Yang and the others who were staring at him with fierce eyes, pointed outside, and whispered: "The subordinates came back with two people." It's just that the brother was broken by Xu Liang's legs, and he is now lying on the ground outside, so only one of his subordinates came to report. ”

"Uh......"

The room was quiet for a while, and Governor Yang waved his hand helplessly and sent the spy out.

Then the staff officer of the Governor's Mansion walked in for the fourth time, and helplessly asked Governor Yang, "Governor, the adults in the hall have been waiting for the meeting for two hours......

Governor Yang snorted angrily and shook his sleeves and said angrily: "What are you urging?!" The main owner has run away, how will this be opened? It's not open! (To be continued.) )
