After receiving Zhao Zhen's order, Li Hao and Ouyang Xiu went out of the palace together.

On the way, the two agreed to meet in Kaifeng Mansion.

So Li Hao returned to the camp to gather his generals and took them all to Kaifeng Mansion.

When everyone arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, they discussed with a group of officials in Kaifeng Mansion how to eradicate Sanssouci Cave.

But on the first step, the two sides were stuck, because no one knew the specific location of the bandits in the Sanssouci Cave.

And there is no source about the environment inside, whether the bandits have swords, armor, bows and arrows, these things.

However, Li Hao was not in a hurry about this, because Li Hao believed that since King Yan wanted him to pull out King Yong's hand, there would definitely be news.

But there was a little surprise, Li Hao thought that the person who delivered the news should be from his own camp, so he let Gu Tingye and them keep an eye on it.

As a result, I didn't expect that in the end, it would be the people from Kaifeng Mansion who came forward to inform the information.

The news passed by Xie Guangtao, the current patrol envoy of the left army of Kaifeng Prefecture, said that he had heard accurate information about Sanssouci Cave.

This solved a big problem, but it made Li Hao a little disappointed.

After listening to Xie Guangtao's introduction in detail, everyone decided to send someone to mix in first and verify the authenticity of the news again.

As for who was in charge of this matter, at Li Hao's suggestion, it was handed over to the people of Kaifeng Mansion to handle it, after all, in dealing with the three sects and nine streams, the people of Kaifeng Mansion were more experienced.

And this news was heard by Xie Guangtao, so it was logical that he and Judge Cai were jointly responsible for this matter.

After that, everyone agreed to verify the accuracy of the information, and then discuss the specific suppression of bandits according to the situation.

As a result, Li Hao left with people, and when he left Kaifeng Mansion, Li Hao asked everyone to go home.

Only let Yang Wenyuan, Gu Tingye, and Yuan Wenshao follow him.

When he arrived at his own house, Li Hao asked his subordinates to retreat.

Gu Tingye said: "I didn't expect this news to come from Kaifeng Mansion in the end, we are tired of staring at it for so many days."

You say, could it be that we don't have people under them? ”

After saying this, Gu Tingye, Yang Wenyuan, and Yuan Wenshao all looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao pondered for a while and said, "Who knows this, but I think it's better to be cautious, after all, the personnel under us are already complicated."

There are so many noble families, and if you don't know it, one of them will go over. ”

Gu Tingye asked, "Then continue to stare at it?" ”

Li Hao replied: "Keep staring, the fox will always show its tail one day, but this time everyone's purpose is the same, there should be no big problems."

I'm afraid that he will deliberately dig a hole for us, wanting us and the thief to lose both.

So find someone to keep an eye on the military patrol envoy and check where his news came from.

In addition, I'm worried that we're making such a big fuss now, King Yong should have known a long time ago, and whether the people in the Sanssouci Cave would get the news and run away. ”

After Yang Wenyuan heard this, he said: "Then what should I do, I can't do it now, I'm not sure if the news is true or not." ”

Li Hao said helplessly: "Forget it, there's no good way, let it be."

I think we can't help it, but since King Yan buried someone next to King Yong, he should have an idea.

In addition, find something unobtrusive, and secretly stare at the entrance and exit that Xie Guangtao said today, to see if anyone is in and out. ”

After a brief discussion on this matter, Li Hao let them go.

Next, Li Hao devoted himself to the matter of exterminating Sanssouci Cave, and began to lead his men and horses to practice continuously, and found a big cave around Bianjing, and began to practice how to form a team to deal with the enemy in a narrow environment.

In addition, in order to reduce casualties, Li Hao made some improvements to the existing firearms, and the specific improvement direction was like the smoke bombs and poison gas bombs of later generations.

It is not about how powerful it is, but it is about being able to force people out, and for this purpose, a blower is specially equipped to blow smoke to the enemy.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Hao is rich and generous, and he has made a lot of pepper and realgar, which may be difficult to say in an open place after the actual test.

But in an enclosed space, there is really no one who can hold it.

Gu Tingye also curiously went to test it himself, but he didn't last a few breaths, and he rushed out with a handful of snot and tears.

While Li Hao was busy training, news from Kaifeng Mansion was also coming in a steady stream.

It's just that Li Hao and the people they sent to keep an eye on it didn't find out what kind of news it was from beginning to end.

Li Hao is not surprised by this, after all, there has been no rumor of such a big thing as Yanwang's rebellion beforehand, and this kind of trivial matter does not want you to find out, it may not be how difficult it is, so the arrangement is just for the sake of just in case.

The only thing that made Li Hao strange was King Yong, I don't know why, there was no movement on King Yong's side.

Neither came to Li Hao and Kaifeng Mansion, nor did he seem to have sent anyone to Sanssouci Cave, as if he didn't care about the life and death of these people at all.

Just after the preparations on both sides, everyone gathered in Kaifeng Mansion again to discuss the specific attack.

After obtaining the personnel distribution data in the Sanssouci Cave, and the corresponding weapons and equipment.

The two sides decided to go down to clear the personnel, all of whom were from the imperial camp army, and the manpower of Kaifeng Mansion was only used to cooperate with the remaining personnel of the imperial camp army to block all the entrances and exits of Sanssouci Cave.

After clarifying the details, in order to keep the specific action route secret, Li Hao took people back to the camp for deployment.

Of course, before this, it was inevitable that he would be cheated.

Li Hao still asked Gu Tingye to find someone from the Cao Gang, and with the current information, he secretly went in to verify it again, and confirmed that it was indeed the same as he heard in Kaifeng Mansion, so he could be completely relieved.

Then, after everyone discussed, according to the situation, the command of the imperial camp was divided into two parts.

Among them, 4,000 people entered Sanssouci Cave for clearance, and were divided into eight groups, six groups entered from six entrances and exits, and cleared one by one according to their respective areas.

There are also two groups as mobile forces, which follow the middle two groups and go to support if the attack is blocked.

The remaining 1,000 people, together with the people of Kaifeng Prefecture, guarded the entrance and forbade anyone to enter or leave.

Of course, for the sake of secrecy, this plan is only known to the leaders of each group for the time being, and the others can only be known on the day of departure.

As for the selected team leaders, they are all people that Li Hao thinks are trustworthy.

Among them, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan each led a mobile force, and the other six were Li Yixing, Yuan Wenshao, Zhang Wen, Cheng Guosheng, Cao Zhen and Wang Yu.

Li Hao sat outside with Xu Ning in case there was an emergency.

On the day of the implementation of the plan, the Imperial Battalion Army completed the formation according to the grouping situation, and went to their respective destinations.

When the time comes, when everyone arrives at the location, all the people who enter enter from each entrance at the same time.

After that, it was already ready, waiting on the ground for people and horses to start blocking the entrances and exits, and no one was allowed to enter and exit at will.

At this time, Li Hao and Ouyang Xiu, who had nothing to do, brought people together, waiting for the progress of the people below to come in.
