Yangzhou is a treacherous and cunning assassin, but in the face of Cheng Liu's indifferent expression, he suddenly felt as if he was suppressed by something, and he couldn't have a seizure if he wanted to.

"The dignified Yangzhou Thorn History, won't embarrass a small county guard, right?"

Cheng Liu looked at him and said in a slightly teasing tone.

When was Yangzhou Thorn Shi ridiculed like this?

"Jianye is the main resource state in Yangzhou, and you want to camp directly, have you asked me about the qualifications of Yangzhou Assassin?"

Finally bringing the topic to the point, Cheng Liu sneered and spread out the map.

"Then please take a good look at Lord Assassin Shi, the defense line between Jiangning in the south and Luoyang and Jianye in the north is stationed in no less than three county guards, and the rest of the county guards are not unable to transfer troops, but wait for the head of the first person to fall to the ground, and then take the opportunity to act."

"Xiaguan set off from Wanling County and traveled to Yingchuan, Lingyang, and did not mobilize any soldiers and horses in the interval, those soldiers and horses were directly transferred from Shicheng, compared with others, what Xiaguan did was still excessive? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, traitors are everywhere, as an official of the imperial court, he naturally has the obligation to guard Luoyang City and stop the rebels outside the city. ”

"Or did you see that I was strong and strong, and I occupied the most resourceful Jianye, and there was a gap in my heart, so you disposed of me privately?"

Yangzhou Thorn Shi's face was stunned, and he snorted coldly and said: "This Jianye was originally in the hands of your Danyang County, and the official is just asking according to the will of the palace, and you don't want to slander the innocence of the official out of thin air!" ”

"Cut, that's the best, the lower officials are ignorant, and I thought that Lord Thorn Shi also wanted a piece of the pie."

Cheng Liu picked up the teacup and said calmly.

Yangzhou Thorn Shi was already lacking in confidence when he came before, and the governance of Danyang County was indeed in good order, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Originally, the official documents in his assassination mansion could be piled up as high as a mountain, but now they are not even satisfied with the table, and these were all changed after Cheng Liu took office.

In addition, the main reason why he was angry was that he was poked by Cheng Liu.

This Jianye was originally his backhand, but now, Cheng Liu took the first step to occupy it, and if he wanted to get out, unless he took it by force, there was absolutely no possibility.

But as an old fox, how can you not understand? Luoyang Ling has sent troops to clean up the forces on the edge of the city, as long as there is a little bit of war, he will be directly killed as a traitor, and he can do it without the consent of the palace.

Jianye is the closest to Luoyang, if there is a real fight, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses he sent will be directly transferred to the city defense army in Luoyang, and it will be a loss to grandma's house!

Cheng Liu saw that he was thinking deeply, but he didn't answer for a long time, and said bluntly: "Okay, Lord Assassin Shi, the lower officials are loyal, the sun and the moon can be seen, although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it only has the intention of protecting the lord, there is no name of rebellion, and Yangzhou will never be put on the name of rebellion." ”

Yangzhou Thorn Shi wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and asked rhetorically: "You moved the county guard mansion to Jianye, and the palace already knows about it, and the palace also knows about the transfer of soldiers and horses." This official was summoned to Beijing this time, you think it is a reward! Whether you have this mind or not, as long as the person in the palace thinks about it, you won't be able to run away with this crime! ”

Cheng Liu got up directly, pointed to the markers on the map, and said seriously word by word: "Let's not mention the situation in Luoyang, if I don't mobilize the troops and horses, when the rest of the county guards transfer troops to the north, the entire Yangzhou situation will spread to Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou." ”

"If I take the northern defense line first, shouldn't Lord Assassin be more relieved? At least if the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou want to pass in front of Jianye, there are lower officials to stop them. ”

Yangzhou Thorn Shi snorted coldly: "You better know that the current situation is turbulent, everyone in the court and the central government is in danger, even the big celebrities in the palace are too busy to take care of themselves, if you have the heart, stay away from these, don't lead the disaster to the head of the official!" ”

Although there had been a quarrel before, the official documents submitted by Cheng Liu in the past year were very good-looking, and those officials in the palace were red-eyed, and it was precisely because of this that all the reform measures in Yangzhou in the past year were not blocked by Luoyang, and he also got a lot of benefits as Lord Thorn Shi.

It's just that under this situation, if there is any mess in Jianye at the feet of the Son of Heaven, his Yangzhou assassination history will be equivalent to the end!

"The little one knows, please rest assured, Lord Thorn Shi, there will definitely be no mess!"

Yangzhou Thorn Shi sighed, and then said: "I will enter the palace on the same day, and then go back by Yingchuan, and I will not pass by Jianye." ”

Cheng Liu nodded slightly, and before he left, he prepared another map and gave it to him.

"There are garrison positions for the rest of the counties on this, you take it first, and you will use it sooner or later."

Yangzhou Thorn Shi took it gently, and after taking a look, his palm trembled slightly, and he hurriedly closed it.

The distribution of soldiers and horses above has connected Yuzhou and Xuzhou and Bingzhou, if Luoyang City is in chaos, I am afraid that these garrisons will become rebels.

In other words, Cheng Liu has seen through the situation in front of him, much more thoroughly than an old man like him.

When Yangzhou Thorn Shi left, he almost fell down when he got into the carriage, but fortunately, he was supported by a maid and got into the carriage tremblingly.

After he left, Cheng Liu waved his hand and motioned for the sweet potato to come out.

"In the past month, I have followed the actions of all the county guards, and if I find that I have contact with other state forces, I will report it directly."

Sweet potato nodded: "The maid is already preparing, but there is too much information here, if we focus on the outside, the information of our Danyang County will not be very timely......"

Cheng Liu sighed: "It's not in the way, if there is civil strife now, it is not something we can prevent, external information is the most critical, only in this way can we have an advantage in the turmoil behind." ”

……

In the past half a month, Luoyang has just quelled the civil strife, and the farmers in the prefecture and Xuzhou protested again.

However, in the case of the annexed prefectures, the peasant uprising was not quelled, but was joined by armed forces, resulting in heavy losses for the city defense army.

In winter, it is less than a month and a half before the beginning of spring.

Tea and firewood were made in the sweet potato house, and the whole house finally warmed up.

When he had nothing to do, he asked Cheng Liu, who was reading the official document: "My lord, the current situation in the merger states is precarious, and this situation is also happening in the other states, but why are they not targeting the imperial court, but those bureaucratic landlords?" ”

Cheng Liu raised his head from the front of the desk and asked a little strangely, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?" ”

The sweet potato stirred the wood, and when the charcoal fire was more vigorous, she simply moved the stove directly to Cheng Liu's side, and then she also sat next to her, her face full of curiosity.

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you."
