"Why is the number of conscription quotas in Ju County twice as high as in other counties? And it is too deceitful to mobilize 2,000 county soldiers!" In the Ju County official office, a military general looked angry.

"Lieutenant Cao, don't be impatient!" Opposite the general, a civilian official said indifferently with a wine glass in his hand, "Liang Chun is just knocking on the county honor, after all, he has completely fallen out with the commander of the cavalry." ”

"Wu Xiancheng, forcibly recruit 2,000 young and strong, and mobilize 2,000 county soldiers, where can our Ju County withstand the toss?" Cao County's eyes were full of worry.

"Yes, but the cavalry captain failed to pull down Liang Chun, and we can't disobey the order. Wu Xiancheng looked at the county order table.

"County Zun, Liang Chun is too deceitful!" "County Lieutenant Cao turned his head at the same time and said to the silent county order, "What do you think?"

"What can I think?" the county commander Yin Li drank all the rice wine in the cup, "Now that the cavalry captain has been escorted into Beijing and charged with a crime, how can Ju County confront Liang Chun?"

"What do you mean......

While he was talking, a county soldier hurriedly ran into the official office: "Report ——!"

"What's the matter?" Yin Li looked up.

"County honor, there are first-class people outside the city who want to see!"

"Wanderer?" Lieutenant Cao snorted coldly, "Ridiculous! How can the county venerable have the kung fu to meet a homeless person?"

"But that person claimed to be a fellow villager of the county, and said that the county must remember Mapotan!"

Hearing this, Yin Li stood up suddenly: "Quick! Invite him over!"

"Whoa!"

The county soldiers turned to leave, and County Lieutenant Cao and Wu County Cheng were full of doubts and turned their heads to look at the county order.

"County Zun, is it your fellow villager?" Wu Xiancheng asked curiously.

County Lieutenant Cao also had the same expression, waiting for the county order to answer.

Yin Li lowered his voice: "This person must be Liu Bao, the commander of the cavalry!"

"Huh?!" Wu Xiancheng and Cao Xianwei exclaimed at the same time.

"County Zun, wasn't Captain Qi Du escorted to Beijing ......?" asked County Lieutenant Cao in a low voice.

"I don't know!" Yin Li shook his head.

After a while, the county soldiers really led people into the official office.

The man was disheveled, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was wearing very ill-fitting linen clothes, and he was very embarrassed.

When he entered the official office, he bowed his hand: "San Lang, I'm back!"

Yin Li is the third in the family, and people close to him call him San Lang. Hearing the voice, he couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the county soldiers retreat.

When the county soldiers left, he quickly left the table and ran to the man: "Brother Bao, is it really you?"

The man reached out and brushed his hair away, revealing a face covered in mud: "It's me!"

"Riding the Captain?!" Wu Xiancheng and Cao Xianwei got up at the same time and came over to salute respectfully.

"Brother Bao, you're not ......" Yin Li looked the other party up and down, his face full of surprise.

"It's hard to put into words!" Liu Bao looked very tired, "San Lang, I haven't eaten water and rice this way, can I get something to eat?"

"Quick, come on, please take a seat!" Yin Li hurriedly invited Liu Bao to his place, and then sat down next to him, not disgusted with the other party's mud at all, "Come on, good wine and good meat are served!"

The servant quickly presented the wine and food, and the three of them watched Liu Bao gobble up the wine and food on the table.

Then Yin Li arranged for Liu Bao to take a bath and change into clean clothes, and finally asked after returning to the official office, "Why is Brother Bao here?"

"Hey, it's a long story!" Liu Bao told the matter of Huajun clearly in front of Yin Li, Wu Xiancheng, and Cao County. Including being later detained and escorted to Beijing, as well as the thieves hijacking the prisoner's car on the road, he took the opportunity to escape, and finally came to Ju County by himself over the mountains and mountains.

Listening to the whole story, Yin Li, Wu Xiancheng, and Cao Xianwei were all surprised.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen. Cao County Lieutenant sighed, "It's a pity! If the cavalry lieutenant hadn't been hit, Hua County would have already changed hands at this time." ”

"Now that the Liang family is completely in control of Huajun, the situation is not good!" Wu Xiancheng shook his head slightly, "Liang Chun deliberately knocked on the county honor, with obvious intentions. If you know that the cavalry captain has fled to Ju County, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome!"

"Don't worry!" Liu Bao gritted his teeth and said, "I was on the way back from escaping when I heard about something. Tongjun General Ling Cao Boyi thieves expanded, endangering the surrounding counties. Li Tong, the Taishou of Tong County, invited all counties to jointly suppress the thieves, and Liang Chun also responded to the matter! After the battle of the Pang Lishan bandits, there was a shortage of soldiers and horses in Huajun City, so Liang Chun urgently recruited troops and mobilized county soldiers in all the counties in the territory. If he leads his troops to the battle, Huajun will be empty, and he will take the opportunity to seize the city and kill the Liang family!"

"This ......" Yin Li was startled, "But Brother Bao, we don't have the name to attack Huajun, if we are labeled as an anti-thief, the surrounding counties will be surrounded and suppressed, how can we protect ourselves? Although Dacheng's national spirit is exhausted, this is not the time to be impulsive!"

"Hmph! Liang Chun was defeated by the bandits of Pang Li Mountain, and suffered heavy losses, but he put the charge on my head!" Liu Bao raised his eyebrows, "Now I am deliberately embarrassed with you, not to mention in the future, sooner or later, Ju County will be caught in my hands, and someone else will be the county commander." He can buckle his hat, and so can I! As long as Huajun is taken, I don't have the final say on right or wrong?"

"That's right!" Lieutenant Cao nodded, "How can you give up such a good opportunity?"

"All my henchmen are folded in Huajun, and this big revenge will be avenged!" Liu Bao said in a deep voice, "San Lang, my brother needs your help." ”

"This ...... In what name will we attack Huajun then?" Yin Li asked hesitantly, "The younger brother is naturally willing to assist the eldest brother, but after all, I want a reasonable reason......

"County Zun, I have an idea!" Wu Xiancheng stood up and bowed to Liu Bao and Yin Li, "Liang Chun acted arbitrarily, even if the Liang family was tyrannical and extorted, the people complained a lot. Now when the spring ploughing and farming are busy, the young and strong are forcibly recruited into the army, and the people in the counties in the county are wailing. In particular, the defeat of Pang Lishan caused the court to lose face, and instead framed his colleagues, such despicable acts are despicable! I heard that the king of Lingnan was benevolent and loved the people, and was jealous of evil like hatred. It is better for the county to go to Lingnan County in person and explain everything to the king of Lingnan. As long as the king of Lingnan is willing to go out, Huajun will turn his palm!"

"King Lingnan?" Liu Bao frowned when he heard this, "What's the use of a losing prince?"

"The king of Lingnan is known as a benevolent name, and he is also the blood of the first emperor, and he often gives alms to the people and is deeply loved. He is His Majesty's own nephew, and the first emperor Chan let the emperor be located in His Majesty, and His Majesty has always kept it in his heart, and he also cares for this nephew. As long as His Majesty still remembers the King of Lingnan, maybe he will also learn from the first emperor and return the throne at that time. Wu Xiancheng said seriously, "Although the king of Lingnan is young, he has the appearance of an emperor. As the so-called icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, now that the hundred officials in the court have forgotten the king of Lingnan, Your Majesty must remember it in his heart. The most important thing is that with the grace of the first emperor Chan, the king of Lingnan has written to convey the voice of the people, and His Majesty will definitely attach importance to it!"

"It seems to make a lot of sense to hear you say that!" Cao County's eyes lit up, "If we have a good relationship with the King of Lingnan, won't we have the merit of being a dragon in the future?"

"Thinking too much!" Yin Li shook his head when he heard this, "The royal affairs are very complicated, and they are definitely not as simple as they seem. Moreover, now that Dacheng is in turmoil, first there are Liang Yi ant thieves who are in turmoil, and then there are princes who are in response, and they all want to chase the Central Plains, and no one can say how long they can last. ”

"That being said," Liu Bao thought for a moment, "but Wu Xiancheng also has a point! Not to mention whether the King of Lingnan can get the throne in the future, at least he has his benevolent name, plus the people of Huajun are dissatisfied with Liang Chun's rule, I can easily become a righteous teacher, and the teacher is famous!"

"That's right!" Wu Xiancheng nodded affirmatively, "The county lord can go to Lingnan with the cavalry captain and meet the king of Lingnan to tell the truth." As long as the king of Lingnan writes to the court and is willing to lead us to ask for the people's lives, he will take Huajun at that time, and he will no longer be oppressed by the Liang family. ”

"But will the King of Lingnan agree?" Cao County Lieutenant asked worriedly, "Now that the Captain of the Cavalry has been framed by Liang Chun, he is guilty of ...... at this moment."

"The name of Lingnan Wang Renyi is known to the world, and he also sees the situation of the people of Huajun. Wu Xiancheng replied, "As long as the cavalry captain and the county zun go together, this matter will be done!"

After the secret discussion of the four officials, Yin Li issued an order, on the one hand, let Cao County Lieutenant recruit young men to join the army and mobilize county soldiers at the same time as Liang Chun said, ostensibly to Liang Chun to be soft and relieve the other party's vigilance;

arrived in Lingnan County, came directly to the Lingnan Palace, and was summoned by the King of Lingnan.

The King of Lingnan was very surprised by Liu Bao's arrival, after all, he was guilty.

When Liu Bao carefully explained the cause and effect (of course, concealing his desire to covet Huajun), Yin Li forcibly recruited young men and women to join the army, and submitted the official document ordering the mobilization of county soldiers, the face of the king of Lingnan was a little ugly: "What a Huajun guard, this king often hears the people complain, but he doesn't know that it is so serious! Framing colleagues, concealing facts, even if the clansmen and the common people, and for their own selfish interests, they still force the young and strong to be recruited during the period of spring ploughing, which is extremely hateful! This king wants to write to the court to expose this matter!"

"The prince is wise!!" Liu Bao and Yin Li glanced at each other, their eyes showing joy.

"It's really a good way for the two of them to want this king to go out and go straight to the old nest when Liang Chun leaves Huajun!" Lingnan Wang thought for a while, "It's just that I don't hide it from the two, there are no available people under this king, and all the officials in the court have almost forgotten this king, except for the hundreds of families in the palace, there is no help......"

"Don't worry, the prince!" Yin immediately said, "At that time, the officials will use all the soldiers and horses of Ju County and accompany the prince on the expedition." The prince is deeply loved by the people of Huajun, and he will be able to stabilize the situation after the war. This battle is for the people of Huajun!"

"The last general is clear about the city defense of Huajun, although the prince can rest assured!" Liu Bao hugged his fists and said, "Huajun has long changed the minds of the people, as long as the prince is in person, your name of benevolence will definitely attract righteous people in the city, and the inside and outside should cooperate to overthrow the rule of the Liang family!"

"......" King Lingnan watched the two of them be silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, "As an idle prince, you shouldn't overstep your authority. But how can the people be innocent? Now that the people of Huajun are not making a living, this king cannot sit idly by!"

"The prince is wise!"
