Chapter 411: Planning

To the south of Xiaoguan, in the large camp of the soldiers and horses stationed in Huanqing Yanjing of the Great Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are lining up to go, and the captains with helmets and armor will guard the main general Cao Han in the middle, Cao Han is reviewing the elite soldiers who are going to Bianliang to support Zhao Dezhao, and at the same time explaining the strategy to the generals who stay in the Xiaoguan camp.

"General, the news that Lord Wang Yu passed on earlier, as long as we keep the Xiao Pass tightly and choke the main road in the Xia Thief Kou Pass, we will have an indispensable contribution to the future support. Now I am afraid that I will return to Bianliang without authorization, and I am only afraid of ......," Cheng Changan, captain of the Hujie Military Academy, said quite worriedly.

Cao Han is wearing iron armor, his face is expressionless, since the Zhou Dynasty, he has been known for his bravery, and he has been reused by Sejong, just because the Wuqiao Mutiny did not support the merit, like the ten brothers of the Righteous Society, and like Cao Bin, Pan Mei and other generations are all official residences, but Cao Han is at most an observer, which is really far from his own ambition. The merit is greater than the support, this is the deepest lesson engraved in Cao Han's heart for more than ten years.

"If the emperor ascends the throne, we are not on the side, who will remember that you have the merit of supporting!" Cao Han said coldly, "Hmph! If you don't go to Bianliang, how can you count the merit of support!" "There is also a secret letter from Zhao Pu to him in his arms, saying that Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang are all unruly people, I am afraid that these two will hold Zhao Dezhao hostage, do Dong Zhuo Cao Cao's thing, let Cao Han raise another elite army to send a letter to Guguan, rush back to Bianliang, and defend the new monarch, this is a move to send charcoal in the snow, and when the new monarch ascends the throne in the future, Cao Han will definitely rely on Cao Han as a pillar of the court. As soon as Zhao Pu's secret letter arrived, Cao Han realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and without delaying for a moment, he immediately mobilized his army.

"After the departure of our army, no matter how provocative the Xia army is, you and the others will hold the walled city tightly, and they must not go into battle easily and fall for the enemy's tricks. After Cao Han hurriedly confessed, he turned over the saddle and got on the horse, his mind had already flown to Bianliang, seeking to seize the throne and support the new king.

"If you succeed, you will eat five tripods, and if you fail, you will cook five tripods. Cao Han silently muttered in his heart, the sun has not yet risen in the east, but a line of fish belly white is already above the horizon, indicating that the new sun is about to rise. "Duh!" shouted violently, lifted the reins of the horse, and behind him were more than 7,000 cavalry of the Longjie Army riding healthy horses, and another 3,000 Hujie infantry escorted the baggage to follow behind, and rushed out of the camp and headed southeast.

In the Wende Hall of the Bianliang Palace, there was a snap, and the official Zhao Jiong angrily rebelled against Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang, and threw him to the ground with the banner of supporting Zhao Dezhao.

"As soon as the traitor appeared, the Imperial City Division immediately went to arrest Zhao Dezhao, who knows......" Cai Shenfu's voice also began to tremble, "He is actually gone." "Zhao Dezhao asked a Taoist priest for pills two days ago, and after taking the medicine, he said that he would retreat and practice qi, in order to prevent him from going mad, the servants in the house must not disturb without authorization, so he has been meditating in the Danfang. The people of the Imperial City Division went through the house to arrest, only a brocade robe was left in the single room, and there was a big hole behind the three Qing real figures, leading to a private house outside, which was full of mud, thinking that the rebel thief dug it in from the outside, and cooperated with Zhao Dezhao to make this golden cicada out of the shell.

"What?" Zhao Dezhao didn't see it, Zhao Jiong was stunned, and the cold sweat on his back suddenly came down. He looked around at the ministers below, Prime Minister Cai Fang, Privy Envoy Cao Bin, and Chongyi's Deputy Envoy Hou Mowu, all of whom looked at each other, "What about Wang Yu, why haven't you come to see him?" Zhao Jiong suddenly remembered that Wang Yu had already been rumored to be in the audience, this son is quite talented in change, how to deal with the current chaos, he can ask him to counsel for planning, but after waiting for a long time, Wang Yu has not yet received the order to enter the palace.

"The ministers went to the king's mansion to pass the decree, but they couldn't find it, and the family said that they might have gone out to play. Cai Shenfu continued to tremble and tremble, how beautiful he was in the past to be the Imperial City Division, and now he only hates that he didn't hand over this position earlier. "Immediately send a sea arrest document! Arrest these two rebels and thieves!" Zhao Jiong shouted almost hoarsely. Prime Minister Cai Fang sighed in his heart, when Cai Yun and Cai Chongjin rebelled, Emperor Taizu was not so chaotic.

The sea fishing official document soon arrived in Xiangzhou, north of Bianliang, in the back garden of the state office, Xiangzhou Governor Han Xi respectfully retired, Zhao Dezhao looked at the sea fishing official document on the stone table, and sighed: "If it weren't for Lord Wang's careful arrangement, Dezhaoyan would have survived to this day." ”

Wang Yu was still wearing a green shirt, leisurely tasting the snow-topped fragrant tea in Shudi, and said with a smile: "The elite of the world is in the forbidden army, three-quarters of the forbidden army has been loyal to His Royal Highness, this Xiangzhou Zhizhou is a reliable person, just appease Yang Yanzhao here, and then meet with the Hebei army led by Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang, Bianliang can be determined." ”

Zhao Dezhao said curiously: "Why don't you go straight to meet with Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang's army?

Wang Yu put down the teacup and said slowly: "Those who are masters of man should control people but not others." His Royal Highness is a body of ten thousand gold, and it should not be thrown lightly. Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang are the generals of the tiger and wolf, holding a large army, but if His Royal Highness and Zhang Liu meet the two on the day of peace, there is no reliable army by their side to protect themselves, and if they do not vote for Zhang, they will vote for Liu, which is like gambling, so how can these two generals contain each other. He paused, looked in the direction of the east of the river, and said, "Yang Yanzhao is different, he has a strange grievance, and he has come to vote for His Highness, like the hope of hunger and cold, like the hope of a wanderer's parents, His Highness can accept his heart with a little appeasement." Yang Yanzhao entangled 5,000 Hedong elite soldiers, the world was insufficient, and His Royal Highness was more than enough, on the day of the meeting, Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang saw that His Royal Highness had powerful personal soldiers around him, and he could only compete to serve in the front, and did not dare to hold His Highness hostage and do Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. ”

Zhao Dezhao was nodded by Wang Yu, and while thinking about it, he asked hesitantly: "According to Lord Wang, if the two generals Zhang and Liu really have different aspirations, and the two of them have far more troops than Yang Yanzhao, why would they be afraid of his five thousand soldiers and horses, and be willing to drive forward for me." ”

Wang Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yanrang doesn't need to mention it, Zhang Yongde seems to be loyal, but what kind of person Zhou Shizong is, if he has no dissent, how can he fire him because of the sentence 'check to be the son of heaven'." These two generals have a lot to do with Zhao Dezhao's father, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Yu is also afraid that Zhao Dezhao will be gullible and make a big mistake, so he pointed out the words, seeing Zhao Dezhao nodded slowly, Wang Yu continued, "Those who seek great things will be guided by the situation, Zhang and Liu are already extremely rich, why are they willing to take big risks and are willing to support His Royal Highness, without it, there are huge profits." Taizu has been dead for a long time, His Royal Highness has thin wings, once he succeeds in seizing the throne, he will inevitably have to rely on the two of them, and it is expected to tear the soil and seal the king, if the general trend pushes further, it is not impossible. ”
