【Tenkaku】

Secret room at the bottom of the lake.

Huang Degong sat here alone, looking at a roster in his hand, this is the list that Zhang Rui wants to get when he breaks his head, it is priceless, whoever masters this list can become the "king" of Lianghuai.

On one list, there were 274 people, all of whom were officials of his Huang Degong faction.

Now he is still hesitating, whether to hand over the list to Zhang Rui?

After the military power of the two Huai armies changed hands, he had no illusions about greater power.

He knew he had lost.

In troubled times, there is no military power, everything is false, not to mention that Zhang Rui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, tonight he dared to come alone to rescue Nanyin, a little slut, among them, I am afraid that there is another cat.

Alas!

One wrong step, every step is wrong.

At the beginning, he never thought that Zhang Rui would make dangerous moves, and took over the [Two Huai Army] by thunderous means, and that Zhang Yuanlong was also an accomplice.

This traitor, hateful.

Over the years, Taoguang has deceived him, otherwise, how could he let Zhang Yuanlong preside over the daily military affairs of the two Huai armies.

This trick was a mistake.

Da!

Da!

Da!

A man dressed in black came in quickly.

He carried a long sword in his hand.

As soon as he came to Huang Degong's side, this person bowed his hand and said, "The child Ismail Yi visited his father-in-law." ”

"Yi'er, hurry up, how can it be, but what did you find?"

Huang Degong was extremely excited when he saw someone coming.

Sima Yi, the adopted son of Huang Degong in secret, was invited by him to teach martial arts by various teachers when he was a child, and now his martial arts are extraordinary, and he handles many confidential affairs for him.

"Back to my father-in-law, I finally sent someone to infiltrate the two Huai armies, and finally found out something."

"That Zhang Rui is really a difficult character, two days of hard work, through what a big competition, the promotion of new military attachés, and the reorganization of the ten battalions of the two Huai armies, our original people are no longer useful."

"Also, I heard that yesterday he killed another deputy army master named Hong Tianjue, because the other party deducted the food allowance of the lieutenant generals and soldiers of the army, so now, the two Huai armies are very convinced of Zhang Rui."

"Father-in-law, I don't think it's going to be a good idea to carry out your plans."

Sima Yi said with a cautious face.

"Yi'er, is this news credible?"

Huang Degong on the side heard these news, his face was full of bitterness, in fact, he also knew that Zhang Rui killed Ning Wuchou and more than 200 of them by thunderous means, and after controlling the [Lianghuai Battalion] in one fell swoop, he did not move his troops within two days, I was afraid that he was rectifying the military affairs of Lianghuai, but he didn't expect Zhang Rui to have such means and in such a short period of time, he had completed the preliminary reorganization of the army.

"Father-in-law, it's true, I didn't say half a lie."

Ismail said.

"Any other news?"

Huang Degong asked.

"Father-in-law, I received news that the rebels of the [Zoroastrian] Lei Hengbu have invaded [Shaxian], and Jiang Tianlong, the guard general of Shaxian County, has received Zhang Rui's military order and led the crowd to resist desperately."

Ismail said.

"What?"

"The rebel Lei Heng led his troops to attack [Shaxian], they want to take Xuzhou's rhythm, it seems that among the rebels, there are also smart people, which should not be underestimated."

"They know that there are 200,000 troops near [Huai'an City], and there is also the convenience of our [Huai'an City], a fortified city, even if they attack the city, there will be no good fruit to eat."

"Now they have turned to attack Xuzhou, this is obviously to cut off the grain route of my [Huai'an City], and once Xuzhou falls, it will directly affect the war in the north."

"War is about food and grass."

"Over the years, in view of the impact of the [Xiaoice River Period], the north has been either drought or frost disaster for many years, the people have no harvest, the imperial court has no grain at all, and the grain needed comes from the south of the Daming Kingdom."

"Xuzhou, the largest grain-producing area in Daming, and at the same time, the eight major grain merchants in Daming are also in Xuzhou."

"Once Xuzhou falls and falls into the hands of the rebels, it also means that the grain route that the north depends on for survival will also be lost, and at that time, the northern army and civilians and those dignitaries in [Shuntian City] will have no rice to cook, which will shake the national capital of the Ming Kingdom."

Huang Degong on one side is worthy of being a hero on one side, his ability is very good, and he has comprehensively analyzed the consequences of the [Zoroastrian] rebels' invasion of Shaxian County.

"Father-in-law, if you say it, this trick of the rebels is really vicious, they just want to take the opportunity to drag down the imperial court, when the time comes, my Ming Kingdom will have no leader, so they can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and achieve their ulterior conspiracy."

Sima Yi said indignantly.

"Yi'er, you're right."

"However, although this trick is vicious, the person who can come up with this kind of trick is the object that our Daming Kingdom should be most afraid of."

"You send someone to your father-in-law to check this person to see who he is, I must have the most detailed information about this [Zoroastrian], and if I don't get rid of this person as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will cause endless trouble."

Huang Degong said.

While speaking, a touch of deep worry couldn't help but appear on his face, and it seemed that he was also worried about the safety of the Ming Kingdom.

Indeed, he is a corrupt official, but he is also a very capable corrupt official, so he knows very well the truth of [cold lips and cold teeth], if the Ming Kingdom really dies, these officials will not have good fruits to eat, and they are afraid that their lives will be gone.

He was not unaware of the murder of these officials and rich men by the rebels everywhere, and once he and his family fell into the hands of the rebels, he could imagine how tragic the consequences would be.

"Father-in-law, don't worry."

"I've already sent someone to investigate this matter."

Ismail said.

"Good!"

"This, Yi'er, what do you think your father-in-law should do now? Do you think the court and I should break the net, or should we cooperate for a win-win situation? ”

Huang Degong asked.

Now the only person around him who can believe is this righteous son, their sons and daughters, all of whom are wine bags and rice bags, only know how to bully others, spend all day drinking, and don't do business every day.

All of them are waste that cannot be supported.

"Father-in-law, I, I can't say it well, and I don't dare to say it."

Sima Yi's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

"Don't worry about anything, just say anything."

Huang Degong asked.

"This, my words are a little unpleasant, you must not blame me for listening to them."

Ismail said.

"I don't blame you, let's talk about it."

Huang Degong raised his hand and said.

"Father-in-law, in fact, I have been trying to persuade you all these years, but I dare not speak, for fear that you will blame me. But now that things have come to this point, there are some things I have to say. ”

Sima Yi gritted his teeth, looking like he was sworn to death, it seemed that what he wanted to say would definitely deeply provoke Huang Degong.

He was scared.

"Father-in-law!"

"The child thinks that because you have been this [Lianghuai Festival Envoy] for a long time over the years, people have slowly begun to float, and they are a little unbelievably thick."

"What qualifications do we have to confront the imperial court?"

"Why should we?"

"Although your father-in-law has been operating in Lianghuai for more than ten years, how can this be compared with the huge Ming Kingdom, a blessed king Zhu Jing can already make your father-in-law jealous for many years, not to mention those dignitaries and dignitaries who are far away in [Shuntian City], you see how the 200,000 Lianghuai army was leveled by that prince Zhang Rui in an instant?"

"Even though he has the ability, the most important point is that he was sent by the imperial court, and the soldiers in the camp still recognize this imperial court, after all, they are the people of the Daming Kingdom, and their families are also part of the Daming Kingdom."
