That night, Tian Shao sent back the news.

"Last night on the bank of Liaoshui, there was a loud thunderstorm, thick smoke billowing out, and people shouting and neighing.

The people on the other side of the Liaoshui heard a loud noise...... I sent someone to investigate, and found that Liu Chuang's troops and horses were returning to Xiangping. ”

"How do you know it's a thief?"

Tian Shao smiled and said softly: "The big black guy who is deeply liked by Liu Chuang is also in the team.

My people inquired, and there was indeed an explosion last night, and many people died. The shore of Liaoshui has been surrounded by soldiers and horses, and no one is allowed to approach. In addition, Guan Hai seems to have passed out as well, and my men see that he has returned to the city, and his condition does not look very good. ”

"What about the thieves?"

Tian Shao smiled bitterly: "Young Master Peng, it's not that I don't want to investigate, it's really ......

If my people inquire about such things, they will arouse suspicion. Even so, my people were almost discovered. ”

"Friendly learning, don't be rude.

Tian Weng went to investigate this time, and he had already taken a great risk. ”

Cao Peng touched his nose and bowed slightly to Tian Shao to apologize.

Tian Shao hurriedly said that he didn't need to apologize, and then asked softly: "Don't worry, I have sent someone to continue to inquire about the news."

In the past few years, although my Tian Shao has been repeatedly suppressed, he can be regarded as a figure in Liaodong. I believe that it won't be long before news comes in. In addition, news will come from Xinchang at the latest tomorrow morning, and it will be clear whether it is true or false at that time. ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Tianweng!" ”

On this night, the city of Xiangping was under martial law, and the two city gates were heavily guarded, and there were soldiers and horses patrolling the city all night.

The people of Xiangping were keenly aware that the atmosphere was not normal, and many people were even more panicked because of this.

By the next morning. Tian Shao came to the West Cross Courtyard again to meet Jia Xu. This time, though, he looked happy and a little excited.

"Liu Chuang came back last night!"

"Oh?"

"I didn't see it clearly, but his horse. And his size was instantly recognizable. He arrived in Xiangping late last night, and now he is in the Taishou Mansion. Now that the Taishou Mansion is heavily guarded, it took a lot of effort for my people to get the news out.

Liu Chuang seemed to be unconscious, and Guan Hai fell ill again.

Taishou Mansion is now completely in charge of Chang Sheng, and I heard that he has sent someone to Yanjing to deliver a message. It is estimated that soldiers and horses will arrive soon.

In addition, there is also news from Xinchang.

About three days ago, ten carts of gunpowder were sent from the Tianlei Fire Workshop, about 100 stones.

If a hundred stones of gunpowder explode, it is indeed amazing...... Mr. Wenhe, this is a great opportunity. The thief was seriously injured and unconscious. Guan Hai was also bedridden. There is only one Chang Sheng in the government, and in addition, there is a yellow-mouthed child, and the stupid boy next to Liu Chuang.

If Mr. Wenhe agrees, he can just wait for the opportunity.

I have contacted some friends, and in two days I can gather an army of 30,000...... In the city, there are almost 6,000 people, which is enough to change the situation in Liaodong. ”

Tian Shao's eyes burned. looked at Jia Xu, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

But Jia Xu closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and was silent for a long time......

"I remember, Tian Weng, you said that Guan Hai's wife is from your Tian clan?"

Tian Shao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, and hurriedly nodded: "What Mr. Wenhe said is true, my sister is a widow. But somehow he was favored by Guan Hai, so he married to Taishoufu, and now she is pregnant. She has only one nephew in her room, and she is working under me. Mr. Ruowen and He was not at ease. I'll ask him to find out the news, what do you think? ”

"Well, can Mr. Tian also work hard and go to Taishou Mansion again?"

Tian Shao looked at Jia Xu in amazement, a little confused.

"If your nephew is going, you will also go...... It's a big deal, and if you can't make sure it's safe, it's best not to act rashly. ”

Tian Shao's face suddenly changed!

Of course, he understood what Jia Xu meant.

If Liu Chuang is seriously injured, if Guan Hai is seriously ill, it is hello, I am good, everyone; But if Liu Chuang was not seriously injured, or Guan Hai pretended to be sick, then something must be wrong. If you don't do it well, you are likely to still show flaws, and others want to deal with you.

But if it's fake, wouldn't it be sent to the door if you go over by yourself?

Tian Shao looked at Jia Xu, and his face showed a bitter color.

Jia Xu still had a warm smile on his face, but in Tian Shao's eyes, it became extremely gloomy.

This old thing is not a good person, such a dangerous thing, actually let me do it? However, he has already boarded the thief ship, and even if he wants to get off the ship now, it is unlikely. Tian Shao hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind: Okay, I hope that Liu Chuang is really injured.

He walked on the front foot, and Jia Xu immediately asked Cao Peng to prepare and pack his bags.

"Sir, isn't that undecided?"

"If it's sure, it's too late!"

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "We still need to take precautions and prepare in advance.

In this way, you will immediately leave for Nayingkou Town, and let people prepare their ships...... Three days, if I don't go back after three days, you don't say a word, set sail immediately, don't stay. ”

"Isn't that gentleman in danger?"

Jia Xu laughed, "What danger can I have, do you say that the fox swordsman I worked so hard to train Shi A is for people to see?" Don't worry, I have my own way out. Of course, if this side can win, then I will send someone to find you. You immediately take people, take the first step to seize the danger, and block the gate of Liaodong for me. However, if this is the case, you will face a bloody battle.

The soldiers and horses of Changli County and Liaoxi will definitely come to quell the rebellion, and I want you to hold on for at least ten days before you can retreat. ”

Jia Xu spoke, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Cao Peng looked at him, hesitated, and bowed down to receive the order.

"So, I'll go."

"Originally, I planned to let Zitai go with you, but he still has a real yàn, and it will take at least a day.

When the real yàn is over, whether he succeeds or not, I will send him to Yingkou Town. Friendship Learning. When the time comes, you must protect him and evacuate safely. ”

"Peng will never disappoint Mr. Wang's high expectations!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the evening, Tian Shao returned.

It's just that he looks relaxed.

"How's it going?"

"Anyway, it really scared me!" Tian Shao sat down and drank a stream of water. Then he wiped his mouth and replied, "Then Guan Hai actually saw me!" ”

"Oh?"

"But he pretended to be fine, but I could see that he wasn't in good shape."

"How so?"

"Guan Hai is a drunkard.

In the past, when I was asked to eat with him, he would always drink with me. But today, he only ate two knights. He was drunk...... My nephew told me that he only ate a bowl of meat soup at lunch. He eats an astonishing amount of food on weekdays, but now he only eats a bowl of meat soup, which shows that he is not in good health. In addition, my sister sued him. Fuchu is very well guarded today. ”

Jia Xu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "How many people do you have in your hands now?" ”

"About 4,000 people."

"That ...... out of the city"

"Hehe, don't hide it, sir, I heard the news that the thief was seriously injured last night, so I contacted a group of people.

They have mobilized more than 20,000 people in the Grange outside my city, and they will respond immediately if I mobilize them. There is no problem. ”

Jia Xu looked at Tian Shao, and there was a touch of softness in his eyes.

"In that case, then without further ado, let's act tonight."

"Huh?"

Tian Shao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jia Xu in surprise.

Jia Xu was still against him acting rashly before, why did he suddenly start again?

"Tian Weng doesn't have to doubt, the reason why I didn't agree before was because I didn't know the specific situation.

Now it seems that the thief must have been seriously injured. The thief was seriously injured, and Guan Hai's health was not very good. It shows that this matter is undoubted. There is a way that the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again. The thief was seriously injured and unconscious, and you will not react when you go to Nachangli, Lelang and Xuansu Counties, and even the people of Goguryeo County? I know that Tian Weng wants to wait for the 500,000 grains and grass to come. Burn it down with a fire......

In that case, the loss of the thief will be even more severe.

But the question is, what if the robber reinforcements arrive tomorrow?

I don't doubt Tian Weng's loyalty, but others ...... In case the news leaks out, it will be Tian Weng and you at that time, and you will also be in danger. ”

Tian Shao listened to Jia Xu's explanation, which was indeed reasonable, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

"It's still Mr. Wenhe's resourceful and thoughtful.

In this way, I will go and make arrangements, and I will do it when I am young, and I should work together inside and outside. ”

"It's not just about the inside and the outside...... Didn't the thief say that the man shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first?

Tian Weng led a group of men and horses to storm the government. Presumably, now that the thief is seriously injured and Guan Hai is seriously ill, there must be no leader in Xiangping City. I will lead a group of men and horses, and I will be responsible for opening the gates of the city, and the inside and the outside should be combined. Only in this way can we end the battle and control Xiangping. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth curled, and he said softly: "I have asked Youxue to prepare outside." ”

Originally, Tian Shao was still a little suspicious of Jia Xu.

But after listening to Jia Xu's words, his doubts suddenly disappeared...... Jia Xu is worthy of being the person Cao Sikong values, with foresight and careful deployment!

Thinking of this, Tian Shao couldn't help but smile.

"In that case, please rest first, and I'll go down and prepare."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's late at night!

The weather in eastern Liaodong is even colder.

After a heavy snowfall, the temperature drops dramatically, almost as if the water is dripping into ice.

The city of Xiangping is quieter and unusual...... Although many people still don't know what happened, the tight guards in the city during the day and the frequent soldiers who come and go can tell that something big must have happened. So as soon as it got dark, the people of Xiangping returned to their homes one after another, closed the door and closed the latch. When I arrived, there was hardly a single figure on the long street, and it was empty, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Tian Shao was in the courtyard, wearing a helmet and armor, holding a big knife.

He straddled his horse and scanned the crowd with a blazing gaze.

"Everyone, listen up, glory to the ancestors, only tonight!

If we can break through the government, we will be the masters of this Liaodong...... What a general, what is in charge, from now on, we are in charge! ”
