Lu Pheasant gently pulled up his hair in a bun, and his face was as pale as water. "There are people in Linzi City who want to rebel."

Zhou Ke's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice; "What?"

Lu Pheasant's eyes swept over and said softly; "I have received reliable news that the old king clan of the Qi State has plotted to cause chaos, and tomorrow I will support the king of Qi Tianhe. The city guard Hantong has been bought, and now the only army I can rely on in Linzi City is General Zhou, your guard, and the fate of the Han Kingdom is between your choices, generals. ”

After speaking, Lu Pheasant looked at Zhou Ke calmly, and then stopped speaking.

Zhou Ke saw that Lu Pheasant trusted him so much, and the blood in his heart suddenly boiled, and he said loudly: "Queen, please rest assured, although the minister is dull, he also knows that the King of Han treats me very well and is kind to me." Now that the Han Kingdom is in trouble, it is the time for his subordinates to repay him with death. ”

Lu Pheasant nodded and said with a smile on his face; "Of course I know General Zhou's fierce loyalty, General Zhou, you have been in charge of the army for many years, and your knowledge and courage are naturally not comparable to women like us, so I want to listen to your opinion on how to make a decision at present."

Zhou Cao pondered for a moment before he said with a worried face; "After returning to the queen, there are more than 6,000 people in charge of the city defense army under Han Tong in Linzi City, and there are only 2,000 guards under me. Moreover, most of the guards are Qi people, and the last general is incompetent, so he really can't tell which ones have been bought by Tian Fei. Therefore, according to the minister's will, for the sake of safety, the Praetorian Guards must not easily transfer out of the palace to quell the rebellion, and the only way to divide troops is to block the four gates, so that the people who trust them can supervise each gate. ”

"If you want to quell the rebellion, only Wang Wei's new camp outside the city can be used, but it's just ......" Zhou Ke said and hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Pheasant and said; The mobilization of the garrison outside the city requires the king's tiger talisman edict, I don't know if you ...... queen"

Lu Pheasant shook his head slowly; "King Han entrusted the tiger talisman to Xiangguo before leaving, and now he is not with me."

Zhou Ke's face was embarrassed, "This is very difficult, although my position is higher than Wang Wei, but I am a lieutenant in charge of the palace, and I can't control him." ”

Lu Pheasant thought for a while and then asked; "I don't know what General Zhou's personal relationship with this Wang Wei is."

"Let's be friends in general, I've had a few drinks, and we know each other."

"That's fine." Lu Pheasant nodded, "I also ask General Zhou to visit Wang Wei in the military camp in his private name, I will go with you in your car, I have a way to convince that Wang Wei." ”

Zhou Ke hesitated for a moment, and said with some worry; "Chen is a person who has been on the battlefield for many years, and life and death have long been put on the back burner. But the queen, you have a noble status, but you do such a risky thing, if something goes wrong, even if the minister dies, it is difficult to escape the blame. ”

Forced to laugh, Lu Pheasant smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, if their rebellion succeeds, not to mention whether their identity is respected or not, I'm afraid it's a question of whether they can even save their lives." I'm doing this for myself, General Zhou, please don't worry too much. ”

Zhou Cao told Lu Pheasant to insist on this, and in desperation, he had no choice but to nod and agree. So he summoned four of his cronies and lieutenants, and ordered them to guard the four gates, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and close the palace gate immediately if there was anything unusual, and no one could enter the city without his warrant. He himself selected a few henchmen to accompany him, hid Lu Pheasant in the back of the car, and drove out of the city.

…….

At the east gate of Linzi City, although it was past dusk at this time, the sky was close to all black, but the city gate was still full of traffic, and the crowd was endless.

Linzi is not only the first city in Qidi, but also the most prosperous capital in the world. Although its momentum specifications are not as open as Xianyang's open atmosphere, nor as graceful and luxurious as Luoyang, its prosperity is far more than that of the two cities.

There are many merchants in Qi country, and the merchants who go back and forth in Linzi City are naturally very frequent, because the city gate will be closed at night, so a large number of merchants will seize the time to enter and leave the city at dusk. Fortunately, this has been fully considered when Linzi City was built, so the city gate is built in an open and abnormal way, and it is not too congested at ordinary times.

However, today is a bit unusual, the city gate is very congested, the pedestrians and vehicles entering the city are unimpeded, and those leaving the city are lined up in a long line.

The groom who was driving the car for Zhou Ke couldn't help frowning when he saw this, stopped the car and shouted loudly; "Come, the guards of the city gates, come quickly."

"What a shout, what a fart." A soldier with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks got out of a carriage in front of him and said angrily as he walked along.

"Don't you see that Ye is busy, what are you shouting?"

The horseman was Zhou Cao's personal entourage, and he was used to flying and domineering in Linzi City, how could he stand the anger of a city guard, he suddenly became angry, waved his horse whip and smoked it. The doorman was pumped upright, and he was about to draw his sword and kill in a fit of rage, but when he saw the fierce look of the coachman, he immediately shook his spirit, and looked at the carriage he was driving, and then swallowed this breath and returned the sword to its sheath.

He has been in the fat post of guarding the city gate for a long time, so he naturally knows the way to protect himself, and knows who offends and who can't afford to offend. Like this kind of freshly dressed and angry horse, the luxury of the carriage is not something that ordinary people can sit on, and naturally it is not something that a small pawn of him can offend.

The groom glared at the pawn and snorted; "Call your leader, my lord has something to ask."

The pawn didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went back and called the leader. The leader came and looked the groom up and down, and made sure that the face was important, and then he raised his stomach and said in a muffled voice; "Tell your master, Lord Han, the city guard, has given an order, because the thieves in the city are rampant and have stolen a large number of property from Changxin Jun's mansion, so all vehicles leaving the city will be searched, and no one will be exempted."

As soon as the words fell, a cold snort came from the carriage, Zhou Ke had already opened the door curtain, revealing half of his body, and looked at the leader coldly and said; "Han Tong has so much power, he can block the city gate with just one word from him, it is really bold, I will go to the queen tomorrow and ask her to deal with Han Tong's transgression."

The leader was good at things, so he naturally recognized Zhou Ke, and was suddenly startled, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Confess guilt with your mouth.

Zhou Ke waved his hand and said impatiently; "General Ben is going out of the city to hunt, you tell the people in front of you to get out of the way quickly."

Zhou Ke usually goes out of the city to hunt when he is in an irritable mood, and stays overnight in his farm outside the city, and the leader is also used to it, but when he thinks of Han Tong's strict order, his face can't help but show embarrassment, and he said hesitantly; "General Zhou, General Han has issued a strict order that no one can be an exception, please don't let the little one be embarrassed......"

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows and said angrily; "What are you that dare to stop me in my way? That Han Tong is just a city guard, do you still want to take care of Lao Tzu? Get out of the way, or I'll cut you. ”

The leader was suddenly thrilled by his scolding, and then he remembered that the lieutenant was still above the city guard. And Zhou Ke's temper is irritable, even if he really cuts himself Han Tong will not stand up for himself, so he can simply let it go. So he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to vacate a lane for Zhou Cao's carriage to pass, and watched the carriage drive out of the city gate and disappear into the vast night.

Zhou Cao's carriage hurried to the military camp in the north of the city non-stop, and arrived after half an hour. After checking the correct token at the outpost, Zhou Cao's carriage drove all the way into the camp unimpeded.

When Wang Wei heard that Zhou Ke came to visit him, he couldn't help but wonder. I and this Lieutenant Zhou just have a mediocre relationship, and there is no deep friendship for the other party to pay a special visit. Strange and strange, Zhou Ke was his superior after all, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he hurriedly returned to the camp to entertain.

Pushing open the camp gate, Wang Wei greeted him with laughter, hugged Zhou Ke and said; "Brother Zhou, why don't you come here without giving a notice in advance, so that I can do my best to be a landlord."

Zhou Ke still had a calm face, and only reluctantly smiled at Wang Wei's affection, and then said; "Don't hide it, Brother Wang, I have something to ask for this time."

Wang Wei thought something bad in his heart, so he had to say without changing his face at the moment; "I don't know what Brother Zhou wants the younger brother to do, the younger brother will try his best to do it."

Zhou Ke looked at Wang Wei with a complicated face, hesitated for a while, and then coughed, and Lu Pheasant behind the screen slowly walked out.

Wang Wei suddenly saw a woman, couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately looked at him carefully. Suddenly recognized that this was the queen who had visited the palace several times, and was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Chen Wangwei has seen the queen,"

"Wang Aiqing, please come to visit this time in a private capacity, no need to be polite." Lu Pheasant helped him afar, Wang Wei stood up and straightened up, his heart was full of questions, but he stood cautiously and asked; "I don't know what happened in the camp of the king's last general."

"It's simple, I need you to cooperate with me." Lu Pheasant did not go around the corner, but said bluntly.

Wang Wei was stunned, "How to cooperate?" ”

Lu Pheasant was upright, and said in a calm voice: "Gather the troops and follow me into the city to quell the rebellion." Changxin Jun Tian Fei and a group of others conspired to rebel, I want you to immediately hand over the command to General Zhou, and he will command all the large and small military items in Linzi. ”

Wang Wei's face changed greatly, and he hesitated for a long time before raising his head and saying in a muffled voice; "Queen, do you have the king's tiger talisman?"

Lu Pheasant shook his head, "No." ”

Wang Wei spread his hands with an embarrassed face, "The rules set by King Han himself, you must have his tiger talisman to mobilize the army, and the minister really doesn't dare to violate it." ”

Lu Pheasant looked at Wang Wei quietly, a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and he said to him calmly; "You're right, in order to prevent chaos in the management of the army, King Han once set this kind of rule. However, the rule is that the dead are alive, such as the Han Kingdom is in danger, and it is the time when you need to show your loyalty, General Wang! ”

Wang Wei's face was still very hesitant, "It's just that the queen, the last general really doesn't dare to violate the rules set by the King of Han." ”

Lu Pheasant's face slowly tightened, his expression gradually froze, and his eyes looked at Wang Wei coldly, "Wang Wei, now there are two roads in front of you." The first is the bright road, you obey my arrangement, I will ensure that you will be prosperous and rich in the rest of your life; The second is to refuse to obey your orders, I, Lu Pheasant, promise that you will be wiped out by the three clans, tortured, and the end will be very miserable, you can choose. ”

Lu Pheasant's vicious words made the two big men present couldn't help but shudder. Wang Wei was still a little hesitant in his heart, but he swept to the end of his eyes and saw Lu Pheasant wincing at Zhou Ke, Zhou Ke slowly walked a few steps forward, and the sword in his hand was slowly pulled out.

Wang Wei suddenly woke up, knowing that he was far from Zhou Cao's opponent, if he didn't agree, he was afraid that blood would be splattered on the spot, so he hurriedly knelt down in a hurry, bowed his head and said respectfully; "The last general is willing to obey the dispatch of Her Majesty the Queen, kill the rebels, and protect my great man!"

Lu Pheasant and Zhou Ke breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time, and secretly released their clenched fists.

"I will definitely tell the King of Han truthfully about General Wang's merits, General Wang can rest assured, I Lu Pheasant will never break his word."

After getting Wang Wei's 6,000 soldiers and horses, Zhou Ke led the army to quickly rush to Linzi, and deceived the west gate by relying on the arrangements made in the city. The army then poured in, heading to the Changxin Monarch's Mansion, the Han Mansion, and the Chengwei Battalion.

Tian Fei was captured in a drunken dream, and Han Tong wanted to escape but was hacked to death by the Han army with a random knife and killed on the spot. Under the command of Lu Pheasant, the leaders of the big clans who had close contacts with Tian Fei were arrested one after another, tortured and confessed a large number of people who participated in the rebellion, and then arrested people everywhere.

In order to worry about changes, Lu Pheasant issued an order that once there was evidence that the remnants had rebelled, they would be beheaded and punished on the spot. Lu Pheasant's thunderbolt method was really immediate, by dawn, Linzi City had been executed 10,000 people, many wealthy families gathered to live in the place has been a river of blood, blood has overflowed to the street, many big clans in Linzi City are silent, no one dares to complain.

Twelve-year-old Qi Wang Tian He was taken out of the mansion and sent to Lu Pheasant, Tian He's face was full of perverseness, scolding loudly while struggling, seeing Lu Pheasant couldn't help but roar angrily; "You cheap woman, you dare to be unreasonable to the widow. I am the king of Qi, the king of Qi, even Liu Bang's old guy is obedient when he sees me, you dare to let people arrest me. When the widow is in power, I must kill you, kill you vicious woman. ”

Lu Pheasant looked at Tian He coldly, weighed it in his heart for a long time, and finally made up his mind; "Someone, push this dog out and cut it down, and his mother's four younger siblings, not a single one of them will be kept. Zhou Cao, you go to supervise and behead! ”

"No!"

Aren't you going to meet the king of Qi? I will let your Tian clan be completely wiped out, see who you go to welcome! Go and set up whom!
