Chapter 144: Seize the power of the army during the mourning period
The group passed through Langxie County, and when they had just entered Xuzhou, Xi Zhi received a letter from Fang Yun.
There were only four 'what do you want' on the letter, and it was obvious that what he did in Qingzhou still fell into Fang Yun's eyes. He had been by Fang Yun's side for a long time, and he naturally knew about the existence of the Han Soul Organization, and even the existence of the dark department. I didn't deliberately hide it, so it's not strange to be obviously known.
However, to be able to know about this matter in a few days, and to send a letter to himself, the speed of this information was so fast, it was really beyond his expectations.
What he didn't know was that Fang Yun had not confirmed his actions through the Han Soul Organization at all, but through the system. Xi Zhicai was implanted with a die-hard program, so naturally he would not do anything rebellious. To be precise, often even the slightest ambition is automatically replaced by other ideas once it is generated, and there is no possibility of such ideas in a lifetime.
With such a person, Fang Yun can use it with confidence, as for the humanitarian spiritual issue, let it go to hell!
Since Xi Zhicai will not betray himself, what he did in Qingzhou is incomprehensible. So I wrote a letter, and I don't need to talk nonsense, with the intelligence of 110 points now, it should not be difficult to know what I am asking.
Xi Zhicai didn't reply, and he didn't answer even a word, as long as Fang Yun didn't remove him from the position of envoy. The group still came to Xuzhou as scheduled, but he did not go directly to Tanxian, but entered the barracks of his own army.
At present, Fang Yunjun's base camp has been moved to Pengcheng County, and it is Yang Feng who is currently staying here. At present, during Tao Qian's funeral, Yang Feng is busy helping outside, just because his wife is Gan Qian. This surname is indeed a small family in Xuzhou, but the problem is that Tao Qian's wife is also from this family.
Strictly speaking, Yang Feng is also the cousin of the potter and Tao Ying. Now Tao Ying has not returned, and the pottery merchant doesn't know what he is busy with, so Yang Feng is stationed in Pengcheng, so he comes forward to help take care of everything in the funeral.
When Xi Zhicai came to the barracks. Here, Zhang Xiu, the adjutant, was mainly responsible for the training affairs. An hour later, Yang Feng received a notice, and immediately stumbled back to the barracks.
"General Yang, you seem to be busy lately?" Xi Zhicai asked with a smile.
"It's not busy. It's just doing my duty for the Lord. Yang Feng slowly returned.
It turned out that he came here mainly because Fang Yun took a fancy to his relationship with the Tao family. Let him come forward to take care of Tao Qian's funeral, on the one hand, it is also to show the friendliness of his side, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Yang Feng will bring the people of the Han Soul Organization into it when he is dealing with the funeral. He also presided over the investigation of the potters and several forces.
"So, I don't know what can be found during this time?" Xi Zhi is just coming, so he naturally needs to understand the situation.
"It has been ascertained that the potters did have contact with Zhenrong, but the location of their discussions was too secretive, so it is difficult to know what their intentions were.
However, just yesterday there was definite news that Zhenrong's troops would probably send a batch of supplies to Pengcheng in three days, as for whether there was any other purpose. Then it is unknown.
Previously, the potter had also contacted Que Xuan and Zang Ba, and Zang Ba's side had clearly rejected the potter, but Que Xuan's side had not replied, so no one knew if there was any situation. Yang Feng reported to Xi Zhicai about the information he had collected recently.
"The potter is really not a person who can endure loneliness, but he is too stupid! If you rely on old subordinates of Xuzhou such as Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and Cao Bao, and move them with affection, reason, and profit, it may not be impossible to say that they will support him to become the new Xuzhou assassin. After all, no matter what Xuzhou becomes in the end, these families will not have much influence. Naturally, they will listen to whoever gives the most benefits.
But he didn't look for them, but went to those small forces that didn't enter the stream, and he was afraid that those people from the old forces might not be able to find out about this matter. This act of death by the potter. Apparently it chilled their hearts, right? However, we also promised to take care of the descendants of the Tao family, so as not to let him be arrested on charges of rebellion, and it is better to deal with it as soon as possible. Xi Zhicai first analyzed it, and then said a few words with emotion.
"It's best to be like this, Tao Qian has two sons under his knees, and he wants to come to Jiuquan. I don't want to see a son come down to accompany him so soon, and he is also burdened with infamy. Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
became the son-in-law of the Gan family, and naturally hooked up with the Tao family. Yang Feng is not a modern person, and he still has a strong sense of family. As the saying goes, if you can help, you can help, and I don't want the Tao family to be a sinner.
"Strike first, strike later. Xi Mou plans to strike first and seize control of Tanxian County, and then further confirm the movements of these three parties. Xi Zhicai said suddenly.
"This, does the lord have an order in this regard?" Yang Fengke hadn't received such an order, so he couldn't make up his mind.
"Externally, the military order is not subject to it, if you wait for them to break out, then even if it can be calmed down, it will be a disaster for Xuzhou. And when the time comes, we will also fall into passivity. Xi Zhicai shook his head.
"Yes, but on orders." Yang Feng thought about it, but still promised. At most, if you find any bad signs, you can react directly. It's just that he instinctively doesn't believe that Xi Zhi will do anything that endangers Fang Yun's interests, he just feels that his behavior is a bit abnormal.
The next day, Xi Zhicai followed Tao Ying to mourn, and Gan, the current head of the Tao family, came forward to greet him with his family, as a way to show the Tao family's respect for the general. In fact, they also know that the size of the family is afraid that they will have to rely on the general to take care of it in the future.
Fortunately, I heard that Tao Ying has passed the civil service exam, and his score is also around 70, and he is at least a deputy county magistrate, which is the identity of the main book or county secretary in the past.
As for the eldest son, I can't expect anything from him, I just hope that he won't cause chaos in the family. In the past, his father was the assassin of Xuzhou, the emperor of the soil here, and he could carry anything that happened. But now, if anything happens again, I'm afraid there will be nothing to help him.
In front of the spirit, Xi Zhicai can be regarded as a rule, and the eulogy is also read steadily. Either way, the atmosphere was very serious. And very serious. At the same time, Xi Zhicai also announced Liu Bian's reward for Tao Qian, of course, this title is now naturally inherited by the pottery merchant, and the pottery merchant is not there, so Tao Ying thanked Liu Bian for the reward on behalf of his brother.
Simply comforted these surviving people. Xi Zhicai left the Tao Mansion, but he did not go to the place where he stayed, but went directly to the Xuzhou Assassin's Mansion, and sent someone to summon all the civil and military ministers.
This move also made those Xuzhou veterans wonder what the hell Xi Zhicai was doing. Only Chen Deng and Chen Qi, father and son, remained silent. Apparently already realized something. However, in line with the idea of protecting himself, he didn't say anything to others, just stood aside silently, waiting for Xi Zhicai to speak.
"The old assassin Shi passed away, and His Majesty and the general were very sad, so they came to pay their respects. However, now the princes look around, Xuzhou is located in the land of four wars, and it is not to be careful. And now that the undercurrent in Xuzhou is surging, it is inevitable that something will happen in Xuzhou in the process of transferring power, so Xi plans to take over Xuzhou's defense.
Meanwhile. I hope that the generals will temporarily hand over the military power, and the drama swears to the sky that as long as this stage of power transfer is passed, then your military power will naturally be returned to you, otherwise the drama will not die well! "Xi Zhicai finally said his true purpose, which is to seize power, especially the right to seize the army!
This can directly offend the interests of Cao Bao, Qin Yilu and others, so naturally they can't be caught like this. In these days, you can do without anything, but you can't do without military power. Especially for them of the old forces in Xuzhou. The absence of military power means the slaughter of others.
"Mr. Xi, now is the mourning period of Duke Tao, and no one will dare to rebel in the future. Is it a bit unreasonable to seize power at this moment? "Mi Zhu at this moment. It is also necessary to semi-publicly point out that this move is inappropriate.
After all, his younger brother Mi Fang is also a powerful general in Xuzhou, and he naturally can't accept being deprived of military power or something.
"In this way, please forgive me for taking advantage of my power! Take! Xi Zhicai shook his head and shouted.
Forthwith. A large number of soldiers immediately appeared behind the palace, and under the command of Yang Feng, they quickly controlled these civil and military ministers and disarmed them, but they were not tied up.
"Xi Zhicai, what do you mean by this?" Cao Bao roared.
"Xuzhou's military power, as well as the defense of Tan County, the drama will be taken first!" Xi Zhicai smiled faintly and solemnly announced.
Under his orders, a large number of soldiers began to enter Tanxian, not only taking over the defense of all city gates, but also seizing the military power of all generals. The soldiers below were more or less unwilling, but the main generals were all in the hands of the other party, and for these old troops, this was definitely deadly, at least enough for them not to dare to move easily.
The Tao family also didn't expect that Xi Zhi would suddenly seize power, and suddenly he could only hide at home obediently, not daring to move.
Not long after, the potter who was 'wandering' outside was also brought back, and he was very embarrassed at the moment, just because he was plotting with Zhenrong, who knew that suddenly a group of soldiers broke in, took him out, and threw him into the mansion.
As for Zhenrong, kill it directly, and leave no trouble!
Seeing Zhen Rong die in front of him, the potter also knew that his conspiracy had been revealed, and his face suddenly turned pale. For fear that Xi Zhi would take further action and destroy their Tao family. This kind of thing is not surprising in this day and age.
Tao Ying still has a trace of reason, and he was originally very dissatisfied with Xi Zhicai's behavior, but looking at his brother's behavior, he suddenly understood that he was afraid that he was afraid of what he had to do with his brother. It's just that he is the younger brother, so naturally it is not good to say anything, just keep silent.
And Di Rong's younger brothers, when they learned that Di Rong had been ambushed, they also immediately scattered. In the final analysis, these people are all raised by Zhenrong relying on money and interests, and at this moment, the tree is falling and scattered, so naturally they will not put themselves in for a dead person.
In the following days, Fang Yun's army quickly took over Xuzhou, and the transfer of power was completed during the mourning period. On the Qingzhou side, Gong Jing's seal letter was also sent to Jinyang, and coupled with this incident, the documents impeaching and accusing Xi Zhicai of what he had done were almost piled up on Fang Yun's desk.
Looking at these documents, Fang Yun faintly thought of something, but couldn't help but smile bitterly. (To be continued.) )
