In the following days, all the personnel of Ling Tianfang's subordinate intelligence department focused all their energy on the military operations that were about to be carried out, and a large amount of information was transmitted like flowing water, which was analyzed and judged and summarized, and finally presented to Wu Feng's desk. The army is also stepping up its final preparations before the battle, and since I have not yet finalized which division will be in charge of this battle, both Liang Chongxin and Choi Wenxiu regard their respective divisions as the main force to attack Jinzhou.

"According to the arrangement of the adults, we have sent a large number of people to lurk in the city of Jinzhou and began to spread rumors, and the personal guards of the adults have disguised themselves in the north and west of Jinzhou and pretending to be bandits, which has caused panic among some local people. It seems that our strategy has had a certain effect, in addition, Lu Yunshan has contacted some other businessmen to ask Wang Shiqi to send troops out of the city to exterminate the bandits and maintain the normal passage of trade routes, but Wang Shiqi is still hesitating, after all, there are only 5,000 troops in the city of Jinzhou, and the 10,000 people stationed outside do not dare to take it away at will, and the situation there is also tense. Ling Tianfang was reporting to me while carefully reading the information in his hand.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to step up our preparations, and the time will soon be ripe. "While I was enjoying the Green Moon Coffee that had just come in from Luzon, I was admiring in my heart that this authentic coffee was indeed much purer than the things sold in those cafes in Yanjing City.

"Also, Wang Shiqi's whereabouts have been figured out, I just don't know if the current tense situation will have an impact on him?" Ling Tianfang also seemed to be very confident in his plan.

"The dog can't change to eat, even if he takes precautions, but in the end he will not be able to hold back. The order keeps a close eye and acts only when the parties are ready. A sneer appeared on Wu Feng's face.

In fact, as early as before the Spring Festival, Wu Feng had already made up his mind to set Jinzhou as the target of action, and during the entire Spring Festival period, the personnel of the intelligence department did not rest, and they were stepping up the collection of all information about Jinzhou, and all of Wang Shiqi's activities and whereabouts were the focus of surveillance. Wu Feng and Ling Tianfang's plan was to first create a situation in Jinzhou where the people's hearts were fluctuating, and secretly send troops to disguise themselves as thieves to ransack the capital city of Jinzhou, and at the same time provoke the conflict between the Gaoyue people and the garrison, so that the 10,000 garrisons could not get out, and then assassinate Wang Shiqi at this time, so that Jinzhou was leaderless at this critical moment. Under the dual threat of "a large number of bandits" and the Gaoyue people, through the pressure exerted by merchants and local people, the officials of Jinzhou were forced to ask Qingyang for help. Once the Qingyang army entered Jinzhou, it could create a fait accompli and make the local gentry and merchants of Jinzhou jointly write to the Imperial Central Committee, asking Wufeng to temporarily take charge of the local affairs of Jinzhou in order to calm the people. As for how to justifiably grasp the power of Jinzhou Mansion in the later stage, Wu Feng also has his own countermeasures, but even if the central government of the empire does not agree, Wu Feng will never spit out the fat in his mouth, and Wu Feng and Ling Tianfang have already reached a consensus on this.

Of course, there are many intermediate links in this process, and Wu Feng and Ling Tianfang have also carefully checked it many times, taking into account every situation that may change, but things are not absolute, there are many temporary changes, no one can expect them, only temporary changes.

"Come on, go and call Yue Shan and Yu Chibin to me. After Ling Tianfang left, Wu Feng thought for a while, and then arranged for someone to call the two. Yue Shan and Yu Chibin are actually the two most outstanding of the twenty disciples of the [***] Gate, Yue Shan is the disciple that Wu Feng met at the gate of the [***] Gate, and Yu Chibin is also quite good. After the disciples of the sect came to Qingyang, they were all arranged by Wufeng to serve in the army, and many of them have been promoted to the level of squadron leader by virtue of their own skills. The two most outstanding ones were left in his own guard by Wufeng, and Wufeng himself often trained them personally, and their martial arts, adaptability, and military knowledge have also made great progress, so Wufeng also observed the loyalty of the two.

"I've seen my lord!" the two of them came in and gave a military salute as they stood aside.

"A few days later, I have a secret mission for the two of you to complete, I wonder if you have any confidence?" Wu Feng glanced at the two of them lightly.

The eyes of the two showed excitement at the same time, many of their brothers have already shown their skills in the army, and he should be the best among them, but he has been nesting in the guards all day, although he has made great progress in all aspects, but after all, he has not shown his strengths so beautifully, and today he can finally get his wish. "Please command, sir!"

"Very good, the two of you will go to Lord Ling in a while, and he will give you both the task. Wu Feng didn't say much.

The inner city of the Golden State Mansion is guarded. Wang Shiqi, whose face was full of gloom, was sitting on a big chair and listening to the next thin guy with a roe head and rat eyes reporting to him: "Now that group of bandits have suddenly disappeared, they are looking around, but there is no news yet, and the local people are very panicked, and they all strongly ask the army to temporarily garrison there for a while." But now there is news of another gang of horse thieves in the north, and now the people in the north are also a little panicked and ask the troops to go to the north. "This guy is Jiao Ming, director of the Administration of Jinzhou Prefecture, and Wang Shiqi's confidant.

"Now the army in Fucheng is only 2,000 people, where can it be drawn, the hateful Gao Yue barbarians, also come to make trouble for me at this time, the army over there must not move, let the troops temporarily stay in place, maybe those bandits are deliberately creating chaos, leading the troops to the north, and taking the opportunity to loot in the east. Wang Shiqi stood up irritably and walked around the hall.

"But the gang of the Chamber of Commerce is making a lot of trouble now, spreading the news that the caravan is afraid to go out all day long, and the people in the city are also starting to feel a little uneasy. "The skinny guy was obviously a little worried about the small number of troops in the city.

"This can only be done now, let's do this for the time being, they want to make trouble, and they will make trouble, just survive this period of time. Wang Shiqi couldn't come up with any good solutions.

"Yue Shan, Yu Chibin, you two only need to quietly put such a thing in the corner of the wall when the target enters the room to have fun with the woman, and then leave immediately, don't worry about the rest. But you must be hidden and never expose yourself. When you arrive in Golden State, go here to find this person, and he will arrange it for you. Note that the target has four guards with him, and his martial arts are not weak, so they must not be allowed to find out. Ling Tianfang cautiously handed over a sealed porcelain bottle to Yue Shan.

Yue Shan and Wei Chibin obviously accepted such a task for the first time, and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Ling, what is in this? Is it poison?"

Ling Tianfang glanced at the two of them with a calm eye: "If you shouldn't know, you shouldn't know, but I can tell you that it's not a poison, but a kind of medicine that helps fun, called 'Bliss Incense'." ”

In the early morning of March 1, 693 in the continental calendar, Wang Shiqi, the city guard of Jinzhou Mansion in the northwest county of the empire, died suddenly in Wanhualou, the largest Fengyue place in Jinzhou Prefecture, due to excessive sexual intercourse.

Wang Shiqi's death training quickly spread inside and outside the Jinzhou Mansion, and the rumor that the bandit organization was about to sack the Jinzhou Mansion was also spreading inside and outside the Mansion, and even many big families had begun to leave the Jinzhou Mansion to take refuge elsewhere.

"Master Jiao, what should I do now, you have an idea. If the bandits do storm the city, and you and I are both family and family, what will we do?" a fat merchant in a gorgeous brocade robe anxiously shouted to Jiao Ming, who was sitting on top of him, covered in sweat.

"Yes, Lord Jiao, I also heard the news that the horse thieves in the north have colluded with the bandits in the east, threatening to capture Jinzhou and divide the property and women in the city equally. A middle-aged gentleman sitting on the side also stood up and preached to his companions, showing off how well informed he was.

"But Lord Wang has passed away, and the main force of the army is still stationed in the south, guarding against the Gao Yue barbarians, and there has been a lot of trouble over there recently. "Jiao Ming is not in a hurry in his heart, but Wang Shiqi has just died, and he has just sent an urgent report to the central government of the empire, this time he will return, it will take twenty days at the earliest, and the empire will have news coming, as for when the new city guard will come, I don't know if it will wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, hey, this Lord Wang is really not the right time to die.

"Yes, you can't relax in the south, if Gao Yue barbarian comes in, it will be very troublesome. Another skinny gentleman chimed in.

"But you can't wait here for the bandits to come in, Master Jiao, you have to come up with an idea. Several other businessmen in the hall also chimed in.

Jiao Ming was also full of helplessness, "I don't have any good ideas now, if you have any good ideas, please say it." ”

The merchants and gentry all looked at each other when they heard this, but only one sat silent.

"Lu Lao, you can give everyone an idea. The fat merchant looked at Luyun Mountain, who was leisurely smoking a cigar on the side, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Yes, Lu Lao, you are well-informed, you must have a way. The thin merchant cried out.

In the end, Jiao Ming couldn't sit still, and he really couldn't think of any way to get out of the troublesome situation in front of him. "Lu Lao, let's all sit in the same boat now, you can show us the way. ”

Lu Yunshan put away the cigarette pouch unhurriedly, "Actually, it's not impossible, we don't have enough troops here, so let's go to the neighboring prefectures and counties to borrow some troops temporarily." ”

"Yes, how could you not have thought of this method?" everyone, including Jiao Ming, suddenly reacted, "Then where to borrow it?"

And all the people began to talk about it. "Bonan Province heard that the law and order are quite chaotic, and the army can't even manage its own side, so it will definitely not be able to borrow it. ”

"It's almost the same as Guide, a few days ago, my caravan was still in trouble there, and now there is no news, no drama. ”

"I heard that the army of Qingyang Mansion has eliminated many bandit organizations, and even the 'Purple Turban Thief' and 'Black Tiger' have been eliminated by them. ”

"Yes, I was buying goods in Yanjing at that time, and even the newspapers in Yanjing were published, and I also read them. ”

"In that case, what are you waiting for, Master Jiao?"

"I just don't know if people are willing to come, but fighting will kill people. ”

"What's that, at most let's pay a little more. ”

"Yes, all of us here can pay, if the bandits rush in, then there will be nothing. ”

Jiao Ming was also considering whether Qingyang's army would come to Jinzhou, and when he heard that the merchants were willing to pay money, he immediately made up his mind, immediately repaired the book, and sent someone to Qingyang City to guard Li Wufeng in the starry night, asking him to send troops to help for the sake of his colleagues in the empire.

On March 4, 693 in the continental calendar, Wu Feng received a letter of help from Jinzhou, and was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the first garrison division that had been prepared to go out to Jinzhou, and he himself went out with the army. At the same time, Wu Feng also sent a letter to the central government of the empire, saying that due to the large-scale barbarian and bandit rebellion in the Jinzhou capital, which was in danger, at the request of the officials of Jinzhou and the local gentry and merchants, he sent troops to Jinzhou to help restore the normal order of production and life in the local area.

On March 6, Wu Feng led his army into Jinzhou City, and then on March 7, Wu Feng announced that in view of the fact that Jinzhou was currently in an extraordinary state, he would declare a state of emergency, and he would temporarily take over the power and wait for news from the central government of the empire.
