The night was still dark, but the atmosphere in the yamen of the military station was even deeper. The generals and strategists who were left in the main hall were actually under house arrest by Han Jian, Han Jian didn't know why, they also had a lot of conjectures in their hearts, some naturally thought that it might be something from the north or the Xianbei people in Guanzhong, and they wanted to leave them to discuss all night, while some people had a premonition that something big had happened in Luoyang City, otherwise Han Jian would not easily change the guard.

Han Jian rested in the inner hall for a while before coming out, and when he reappeared, several generals immediately wanted to go back to "rest" on the grounds that they were unwell.

Han Jian sneered: "During the special period, it is better for you to stick to it." If you are really not in good health, find a doctor to treat you. ”

These people heard that Han Jian did not mean to let him go, and they knew that Han Jian had always been "ruthless" and did not dare to say more to avoid being killed. Han Jian took out the warrant for the change of guard that he had personally written, circulated it to everyone, and said, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

These people have seen warrants and don't think there's anything special. It's better like an ordinary change of defense, but it is to mobilize some people from outside the city into the city, and replace the guards of some of the original city gates, which is also the practice of Luoyang City in the past, and any general who guards the city will not be in the same position for too long, which involves the problem of stability. If someone covets the city defense, they will find a breakthrough, and having the same person stay in the same post will create such a breakthrough. Therefore, even the generals of the city defense knew that after working in one position for a period of time, they would be replaced to other positions. It remains the same in terms of official character and position, but the responsibilities are different.

The advantage of this is that the possibility of the city defense being broken by "one's own people" is reduced, but the disadvantage is that if it encounters an external enemy. Because the generals defending the city are not very familiar with their posts, there may be deviations in the defense of the city, resulting in the dissolution of the city defense. However, Luoyang is the imperial capital of the ages, and it is rarely affected by external disasters, and if something happens, the reason mainly comes from the inside. If outsiders want to open a breakthrough from the towering city wall of Luoyang, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

"Young boy, I don't know why I have to change my guard today?" A general asked.

Han Jian said: "The reason goes without saying. You don't have to worry too much, it won't affect you. ”

Han Jian said nothing, but he didn't need the people from the military yamen to give orders. Instead, he directly used the guards he brought with him to pass the warrant. Coupled with Han Jian's talisman, as long as there is no internal rebellion, the change of defense will be smooth. But in the past, there would be advance notice of the change of guard. At the very least, a decision will be made after Han Jian calls for an upgrade. The sudden change of defense can only show that there is a problem in the city defense. Suddenly, someone took Han Jian's warrant and talisman to "change the guard", and even those who were loyal to the Dongwang Mansion would suspect that there was "fraud".

The guards were divided into groups, but the rest were enough to maintain order in the military station's yamen. There was also a dead silence in the entire military station, after all, it was late at night, and no one would have come, at most, someone from the Wu'an station would come over to deliver the battle report ahead. But these days, Guanzhong and the north are generally stable, and there will be no too urgent military reports to Luoyang at night. Occasionally, those who entered the military station would be directly controlled, and generals or strategists with official positions would also be sent directly to the hall. was guarded by Han Jian.

"It's not the way to go." One of the generals sensed the seriousness of the problem, and now he was thinking about how to get out. And beside him are generals who work for Lin Ke with him.

The man next to him glanced at Han Jian and said in a low voice: "Previously, Zhang Xing was in turmoil in the army, and the king of the east was also in the military station like this, and in the end, the rebels were all arrested. Could it be that the king of the east noticed the clue in advance today? ”

As he spoke, Han Jian had already raised his head, cleared his throat and said, "You must be a little tired, you can go to the side hall to rest first." ”

Han Jian originally controlled these people in the hall and didn't even allow them to go to the toilet, but now he suddenly let them often go to the hall to rest, which is obviously unreasonable. But since Han Jian gave the order, some people originally felt that it was very tiring to stand in the hall in the middle of the night, so they breathed a sigh of relief and went to the side hall.

The guards stared carefully, but there were still people who wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the yamen of the military station, and before anyone could take a few steps, they had been directly pressed down by the guards, and the halberd stabbed directly into the back of the person, and he was dripping with blood. The people who originally went to the side hall to rest with a little relaxation didn't even dare to breathe when they saw this scene, and they were stunned but didn't know what was going on.

Han Jian followed out of the hall from behind and sneered, "Didn't you understand what this king said? Let you go to the side hall to rest, what is this to do? ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, the people present were a little jealous in their hearts, so they had to go in the direction of the side hall. Even those who deliberately wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave the yamen of the military station to ventilate and report the news did not dare to act again.

After an hour, almost the fourth watch, some of the people in the side hall were already drowsy, and some were energetic and overwhelmed. But at this moment, a guard came in to spread the word, and Han Jian once again summoned everyone to the hall to talk.

When everyone arrived in the hall, they saw that Han Jian was still standing behind the handsome case, just like when they left. It also shows that for more than an hour, Han Jian has been doing things in the main hall and has never left.

Except for the person just now, there were not many people in the hall, but there were two people who looked like heralds to pass on the news from outside.

"Guys, something happened today." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Jian said, "This king hasn't come here these days, and everything in the city is stable, which is also the merit of your loyalty to your duties. If everything is calm tonight, your merits are not small, and this king will reward them as appropriate. But if anything......" Han Jian paused, "I'm afraid none of the people present will live." ”

Han Jian's words stunned the people present, and suddenly Han Jian said, "None of them can live", as if he was going to kill the killer. But some people apparently ignore the premise that Han Jian is talking about, which is "something", and most of them can't understand what is going to happen.

At this moment, a guard walked in quickly and said loudly, "Go back to the young master." Simon's change of guard is complete. ”

Soon someone came in and ordered: "Donghuamen has changed its guard!" ”

……

In a short period of time, the change of guard was basically completed, and many people couldn't figure it out. Han Jian's change of defense is not just about changing the generals who defend the city. It also includes the need to mobilize soldiers and horses from other places into the city, and then these soldiers and horses will complete the takeover of the city gate and city defense, such a big action can be completely completed in more than an hour?

Despite the apprehension of some people, the smooth change of guard also means that nothing happens. When all the castles in the city and the gates of the inner and outer cities were replaced, many people were relieved, so nothing would happen that night.

Wait until all the gates seem to have been replaced. Han Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tonight's matter, thank you for your hard work." It is time for this king to go back and rest, ...... It's also self-destructible. But I advise you. Before dawn, you should not go out easily. The war is chaotic, and no one dares to guarantee your safety after you go out. ”

"Young Master Xie reminded."

Most people breathed a sigh of relief, and Han Jian's reminder was not so important. Then Han Jian re-entered the inner hall. And not "go back" as he put it. Those outside can go back to the various duty places in the yamen of the military station to rest temporarily. Some people were frightened all night, and they wanted to leave early, but after all, Han Jian reminded them that they couldn't go out, so they had to go back to the place on duty after solving their personal problems first, and if they wanted to leave, they had to wait until Han Jian left first.

Among them, some people feel that the time is ripe, and they can't pass on the news to the outside world by being watched by Han Jian before, but now they are lax. It's also time to get the word out quickly. Someone immediately wrote a note and found the soldiers who were originally in charge of the night vigil at the yamen of the military station. Hide it and send it away. When I went out, I was not hindered by anything.

At this time, these people were even more worried, since Han Jian could let him go so calmly, it also meant that the change of defense in the city was almost completed. After all, with Han Jian's warrant and peace order, it is very easy to change guards. Originally, he was going to rebel, but he was going to take advantage of the fact that the Dongwang Mansion was not prepared, but now everything in the Dongwang Mansion was ready, and Han Jian himself sat in the military yamen overnight, and it seemed that there was only one way to succeed, that is, to immediately send someone to the military yamen, capture the thief and capture the king first, and only by taking the east king will the trouble be completely solved.

The news soon spread from the yamen of the military station, and the city was not like Han Jian said that there was a "shortage of soldiers", but more like a calm and calm situation where nothing happened.

waited for the news to be delivered to Lin Ke's house overnight, but Lin Ke hadn't reacted yet. After all, there is still one day left before they agree to start a rebellion, and there are still some things to prepare during this day, and there should be no action in the city, and everything must remain the same before the rebellion to ensure the thunder of the rebellion, and also to ensure a smooth transition after the fact.

"Lin Shilang, something is wrong."

At the same time, there were also people who were staring at the city gates, and these people passed the news to the person in charge, and these people came to Lin Ke overnight to report the situation.

Lin Ke hurriedly got dressed and was still in the hall of the Lin Mansion, but he didn't expect that such a person would come to the mansion in the middle of the night to report the news, and he felt the seriousness of the problem.

"Didn't you stop coming to my house?" Lin Ke looked a little angry, almost all of the people who came were generals and officials of the Luoyang faction, these people were not the local gentry who cooperated with his rebellion in the north, they were simply a group of "his own people", although these people had a friendship with him, but in his opinion, they were a group of people with wine bags and rice bags, and they could only follow behind and coordinate with each other, and help wave the flag and shout after the big thing was completed. But these people are the basis for maintaining the normal operation of the imperial court after the fact.

Lin Ke didn't want to spread the matter too much in advance, but after all, he was only a civil official, and he had no experience in rebellion before. Now these people moved slightly, and they all came to his mansion as if the sky was about to fall.

"What's the matter, take your time!" Lin Ke said angrily.

Someone immediately reported the situation in the city this night to Lin Ke, and Lin Ke knew that Han Jian suddenly appeared in the yamen of the military station, and issued a warrant to change the guard, and now the entire city gate of Luoyang has been changed. The smooth change of defense also means that the previous arrangements for the city gate have been nullified, and it will be more difficult for the rioters outside the city to pour into the city.

"Lin Shilang, what do you think of this?" Someone looked at Lin Ke with a sad face, as if the matter had really been revealed, and they would also be in a different place.

"Go back, this matter has nothing to do with you, even if the East King really wants to take care of it, you won't be in any danger!"

Lin Ke said, and immediately asked people to send these people back. The worst thing for him now is not that Han Jian found out in advance, but that so many people came to his mansion, since Han Jian could detect in advance that someone was going to make trouble, it was impossible that he didn't receive any news, his mansion was obviously already watched, and there might be people from the Dongwang Mansion who would soon kill him in his mansion.

It's not happening now, just keep it the way it was. This is Lin Ke's idea, even if it doesn't work out once, there is obviously a chance, but if it makes a big deal and the Dongwang Mansion is captured, then the officials and generals of the entire court faction may suffer.

Lin Ke had just asked people to send these people away, and before he could sit down and take a breath, someone suddenly hurriedly came in, Lin Ke was slightly relieved, it turned out that someone from the north had come to contact him.

"Why did such a person come to Lin Shilang's mansion, but the plan was ahead of schedule?" The visitor asked directly.

Lin Ke gave a general explanation of what happened that night, and the person who came said with a surprised face: "Dongwangfu changed guards? When? Why didn't anyone who listened to the city defense yamen report something? ”

Lin Ke was also asked, just now those people had obviously received the news, knowing that Han Jian not only appeared in the yamen of the military station, but also sent people to the city gates to change the guard, and some of the city gates were even opened to welcome the soldiers and horses outside into the city. But why do the people of the northern faction know nothing?

"The Eastern Palace's palace has seen that the guards and generals at the city gate have been replaced, and the arrangements made before will not work. You don't even know anything? Lin Ke was surprised.

The person who came sneered: "Is it because Lin Shilang has no experience in doing big things, and he was deceived by the East King, right?" There are some changes in the city gate, but the city gate defense has not moved at all, if Lin Shilang is so timid, how can it be a big deal? ”

Lin Ke was a little dazed at this time, because there were too many news and they were very different, so he couldn't tell which one was true.

However, one thing he can be sure of is that even if the Dongwang Mansion does not change its guard at the moment, it must be aware that there may be an abnormality in the city. The person came and said: "As for the East King, he is not in Luoyang City at all now, all this is just an illusion, so that Lin Shilang does not dare to take action." Since the matter may be revealed, Lin Shilang might as well start planning immediately. (To be continued......)
