Tokyo.

Children's Mansion, high walls and deep courtyards, I don't know how deep it is.

As the spring warms up, the trees sprout green shoots.

Tong Guan, the owner of the mansion, was lying on a chair in the courtyard, enjoying the warm sunshine.

His eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be asleep.

Several beautiful girls full of youth and vitality surrounded him, rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs lightly.

They don't have the words of the warbler, nor do they have the clever smile of silver bells. Everyone was cautious, even breathing as lightly as possible, for fear of waking up the master, but they did not get the order, and they did not dare to stop the movements of their hands.

It wasn't until Master He came over and waved his hand to them gently that the girls were relieved and retreated one after another, walking like light cats without the slightest sound.

Master He stood aside and waited for a while, Tong Guan finally opened his eyes.

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he did not look like someone who had just woken up.

"Mr. He, you came to me, but what's the matter?" Tong Guan's eyes fell on Master He.

Master He approached Tong Guan and said in a low voice: "The matter you asked me to check last time has a clue!" ”

"Who is it?"

Tong Guan's eyes flashed with a cold color, and he said sharply.

Last time, he led his troops to attack Zhujiazhuang, but the Zhujia army was prepared and prepared, and he also ambushed Liu Yanqing's troops, resulting in a great defeat for the whole army.

Tong Guan believes that someone must have leaked the news.

But who is this person?

This operation is very classified!

At that time, he took the transfer order and the tiger talisman, rode lightly to the south of the Yangtze River, dispatched 50,000 troops, and claimed to the outside world to go north to resist the Liao invasion, without telling anyone the truth, even his henchmen Yumei, Liu Yanqing and others did not know, until he arrived in Jeju, he told several generals the real goal of the trip.

Of the 50,000 soldiers, the only one who knows about it is himself.

And in the imperial court, including the emperor, there were no more than five people involved in the secrecy.

These five people are all high and powerful, and the lowest official position is also the palace marshal, and it is impossible to have any collusion with Zhu Long.

Then this person's leak is aimed at him Tong Guan and wants to bring him down!

Therefore, Tong Guan must find out this person!

After returning to Tokyo, he has been sending people to investigate and secretly try to find out the person who stabbed him in the back.

His first suspect target was Taishi Cai Jing.

He and Cai Jing have a deep relationship, and the two of them can have today's achievements without each other's help.

At that time, Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou and became an idle petty official, with nothing to do and a bleak future.

Coincidentally, Tong Guan, who was still a court eunuch, was sent to Jiangnan to search for calligraphy and painting for the emperor.

The two hooked up at this time, and at that time, it was mainly Cai Jingba who wanted to take his line and send his calligraphy works to the palace and present them to the emperor.

Cai Jing, as a local official, revolves around Tong Guan every day, eating, drinking, and playing with him, and serves Tong Guan comfortably.

Tong Guan reciprocated the peach, every time he sent calligraphy and painting works to the palace, he put Cai Jing's words on the top, and praised him vigorously, plus Cai Jing himself was also the number one calligrapher in history, so he was appreciated by the emperor, promoted to Tokyo, and became the prime minister of the dynasty, with power over the world.

At this time, the status of Tong Guan and Cai Jing changed.

The local petty officials at the beginning became the prime ministers of the dynasty.

At this time, Tong Guan's godfather, the great eunuch Li Xian, died of grief because he was impeached by the minister and dismissed. Tong Guan lost his backer and power.

Cai Jing knew that he was entrusted, so he pulled Tong Guan a hand.

At that time, the imperial court sent 100,000 troops, preparing to fight with the Qiang people and recover the four states of Qingtang.

So Cai Jing tried his best to recommend Tong Guan to be the supervisor of the Northwest Army.

Although Tong Guan's godfather Li Xian was a eunuch, he was an excellent strategic commander, and participated in the Northwest War many times as a supervisor. Tong Guan has always followed him to the border pass, and he has a certain military talent.

Moreover, he has been to the northwest ten times, and is familiar with the generals and local talents in the northwest.

After full preparations, the Song army came to Huangzhou, and on the eve of the attack, an envoy from Emperor Daojun came and sent a letter from the emperor himself.

After Tong Guan saw it, he didn't say a word and stuffed it into his boots.

The commander Wang Hou asked the emperor what he said in the letter, and Tong Guan said lightly, It's nothing, Your Majesty hopes that we will win the battle.

So the whole army was excited, defeated the Qiang people in one fell swoop, and recovered the four states of Qingtang. Tong Guan also began his legendary life.

Although Tong Guan's power is getting bigger and bigger, his psychology has also begun to swell, flying and domineering, which makes Cai Jing feel threatened. The relationship between the two deteriorated dramatically.

In particular, Emperor Daojun wanted to give Tong Guan the title of "Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi", but was rejected by Cai Jing, Tong Guan hated Cai Jing to the core.

The two usually fight openly and secretly, and in this leak incident, Tong Guan's first thought was Cai Jing, but he never found clues and evidence.

He Wen, who had just been recruited, took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the matter, and he agreed, but he didn't have much hope in his heart, so he just tossed with him. At the same time, he sent henchmen to continue the investigation.

But I didn't expect that Master He really found the clue!

He didn't dare to sell Guan Zi in front of Tong Guan anymore, and replied honestly: "I don't know who it is, but it may involve Gao Taiwei......"

"Gao Yu?"

Tong Guan was taken aback.

He has a good relationship with Gao Yu. This time, because he sold face to Gao Yu, he didn't mention the matter of Zhao'an in the court again.

"What evidence is there?" Tong Guan stared at Master He, and Master He suddenly felt that his gaze was like substance, as if a mountain was pressing down.

He hurriedly took out a piece of letter paper from his arms that was burned to the point of only a corner, and presented it to Tong Guan with both hands.

The letter burned to the size of only half a palm, it was the lower right corner of the letter, the edge was pitch black, and there were not many words on it, only three lines, and it was not a sentence, but just a few words made Tong Guan's pupils shrink, and his face was gloomy as water.

“…… 50,000 troops"

“…… Set off from the south, attack Zhujiazhuang"

“… Tell the Lord in quick succession. ”

Tong Guan's fists creaked, and he said coldly, "Where did this come from?" ”

"On the tenth day of the lunar month, a servant in the capital came to Kaifeng Mansion with this half-cut note, and raised his owner, suspecting that the owner was a spy of Zhujiazhuang."

The officials immediately arrested the proprietor, but the man was already out of the city! Kaifeng Prefecture sent troops to chase him along the way, but he still escaped. ”

"I found the servant who had told the chief, and according to his description, the person who delivered the letter, I followed the man, but I saw him enter the mansion of Captain Gao!"

Tong Guan gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Yu! ”

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Originally, I was a little hesitant, but since he was unkind first, I don't blame me for being unjust!" Tong Guan sneered, got up from the chair, and said, "I want to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”

In the Ganlu Palace, Emperor Daojun was meditating and cultivating, and an old Taoist priest with immortal wind and Dao bones next to him was guiding him to breathe and breathe.

This person is none other than Emperor Daojun's most trusted Lin Lingsu.

Zhao Ji's superstition about Taoism has reached the level of brainless fans, especially admiring Lin Lingsu.

Canonized him with a lot of titles, such as Wenzhou Yingdao Army Festival Envoy!

Lin Lingsu is powerful and unscrupulous. There are more than 20,000 disciples under the disciples, all of whom are clothed and fed, endangering one party.

Even Tong Guan and Cai Jingjing despised this person very much, but they were very polite and kind in person.

Tong Guan waited patiently, and finally, Zhao Ji finished his work, opened his eyes, and showed joy.

"I, I just saw a round wheel behind His Majesty's head, with a colorful glow on his body, a solemn and ethereal appearance, could it be that His Majesty has already attained the Tao?" Tong Guan looked very excited, and knelt in front of Zhao Ji.

"Really?" Zhao Ji said in surprise.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has touched the threshold of the Great Dao, as long as you practice diligently, you will be able to attain Dao immortality."

"Your Majesty is really a rare cultivation wizard in 10,000 years, and with the blessing of the true dragon's qi, you can practice with half the effort!" Tong Guan showed a look of adoration.

"Huh!" Emperor Daojun laughed heartily, he liked to hear these words spoken the most.

"Aiqing is here, what's the matter?"

"Qi Qi Sheng, now that the spring flowers are blooming, Jiangnan uses troops, when a blow is made, Fang La will be wiped out, and no respite can be given"

"Weichen asks for an order, and he is willing to lead troops to Jiangnan and preside over the overall situation of exterminating Fangla!"

Emperor Daojun was overjoyed and said: "Aiqing is so loyal to the monarch and the country, and he works tirelessly, and he is also the pillar of the true country!" I appointed you as the Xuanfu Envoy of Jiangnan Province to preside over the Battle of Pacifying Fangla! ”

"I will lead an army of 50,000 and will leave for Jiangnan in the near future!"

"Fifty thousand troops?"

Emperor Daojun showed embarrassment, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Aiqing, Gao Yu is about to conquer Zhujiazhuang, but there are no soldiers available in the court, and I have promised Gao Yu this 50,000 troops!" ”

"This ......" Tong Guan said tentatively: "Without these 50,000 troops, the situation in Jiangnan will be difficult to control!" If the imperial court really has no soldiers available, why don't you recruit An? ”

"Gao Yu is the main conquest, and the ministers are all in favor, how can I change it!" Emperor Daojun shook his head.

Tong Guan also supported Gao Yu's conquest in his heart.

Because at this time, if Zhao'an is going to do so, there will be too much resistance from the DPRK and China, and he will compromise with the anti-thieves, and he will inevitably be scolded by many "upright ministers".

Only when Gao Yu is defeated and Zhu Long's power is uncontrollable, will the imperial court recognize Zhao'an.

"The minister thinks that the sooner Captain Gao sends troops, the better, first solve Zhulong, then pacify Jiangnan, and then wave his army north to recover Yanyun. The more you delay, the more disadvantageous it is! ”

Emperor Daojun thought deeply and said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, I will urge Gao Yu to set off!" ”

Coming out of the palace, the corners of Tong Guan's mouth showed a smug sneer.

When Gao Yu sent troops, he didn't care too much.

He just hinted to the emperor that Gao Yu's battle was related to the recovery of Yanyun.

If Gao Yu is defeated, the consequences will be very serious.

In this way, when Gao Yu comes back from defeat, Emperor Daojun will not let him go easily.

In the evening, Yumei received an order from Tong Guan to go to Tong Guan's mansion immediately.

"Are you feeling better?" Tong Guan looked at his cronies and asked with concern.

"It's been done a long time ago, it's no big deal, the last general just wants to follow Eun Xiang to fight on the battlefield!" She immediately expressed her loyalty.

Tong Guan shook his head and said, "This time you are not with me, but with Captain Gao!" ”

"Yes! His subordinates will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, and they will never disgrace Eun Xiang! ”

Tong Guan shook his head and said: "Saving the lives of yourself and your soldiers is the most important thing, Zhu Jiajun does not kill prisoners, when it is a last resort, you can make a wise choice!" ”

Yumei was confused, what did Tong Guan say, not only did he encourage himself to fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the country loyally, but also let him take care of his own life?

What else do you say that Zhu Jiajun does not kill prisoners, and he can make a wise choice, what does this mean, let himself surrender if he can't fight?

This is not in line with the usual iron-blooded style of Tong adults!

"Yes!" Yumei hesitated to agree.

Tong Guan waved his hand, a little tired, and said, "You go back and get ready, the date of the expedition will not be too far away." Mr. He, send General Yu for me! ”

Yumei bowed and retreated, and out of the hall, he and Master He walked out side by side.

He felt uncomfortable walking with Master He, because this person knew that he was embarrassed after being captured by the Zhu family's army.

As long as she was with him, she felt embarrassed.

So he didn't say a word.

But Master He kept talking, from the weather in spring to the rising housing prices in Tokyo every year.

Finally, he paused, suddenly changed his words, and said with a smile: "General Xu, do you understand the good intentions of the Prime Minister's words just now?" ”

"Know, know, Eun Xiang is concerned about the safety of the subordinates, and I am very grateful!"

"It's best if the general knows!" Master He smiled and said, "Actually, the cardinal minister is very unoptimistic about Gao Yu, so he told you again and again!" After all, the cardinal minister will take you to Jiangnan Square, go to the Liao State to recover Yanyun, if the army is exhausted, why should the cardinal minister make meritorious contributions and lead you to be promoted and rich! ”

"Of course, this is just a little shallow opinion of mine, not the meaning of the cardinal, as a subordinate, you must consciously share the worries of the master, right?"

Yumei is not a fool, Master He has said it so thoroughly, if he still doesn't understand, then he has been in the capital for so many years!

Obviously, Tong Guan didn't want Gao Yu to win this war.

He sighed, as if he was going to be a spy.

He has to sabotage again, and he can't bear the responsibility for defeat, it's too difficult for him!

At this time, in front of the palace commanding the yamen. The palace marshal Gao Yu is talking secretly with the Taishi Cai Jing.

"Taishi, I attracted Zhujiazhuang's troops from the front, and your son-in-law Liang Zhongshu took advantage of the weakness from behind, and we will definitely be able to defeat Zhujiazhuang!"

Cai Jing'e Guanbo belted, with a heroic and righteous face, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of the temperament of a traitor, "Captain Gao, you lead 100,000 troops, you can completely push Zhujiazhuang sideways, why do you need to do this!" ”

Gao Yu's head shook like a rattle, leaned forward and said, "Taishi, if Zhujiazhuang is easy to deal with, how can Tong Guan advocate Zhao'an?" ”

"Tong Guan is using troops in the northwest, proficient in military affairs, and he still can't win, how can I be superior to him, better than Tong Daren?"

"The Daimyo's Mansion suffered a heavy blow from the Zhujia Zhuang last year, and the troops are insufficient!" Cai Jing shook his head helplessly, looking helpless.

Old fox!

Gao Yu scolded in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and said: "I only take 60,000 troops, and the other 40,000, go to the Daimyo's Mansion and hand them over to Liang Zhongshu to command!" ”
