Chapter 132: Before the Storm
Within two days, news came from the stone that a yard had been rented.
That yard is about four or five miles away from Li Hao's mansion, and the yard in the house is quite large, and the surrounding area is quite empty, so if it is used to dig tunnels, it will not be discovered.
So Li Hao asked Shi Shi to bring the person in charge of digging the tunnel, and explained his requirements to him specifically: "I want to dig this tunnel within a month, the tunnel does not need to be very large, as long as it is strong enough to meet the normal passage of several people."
As for the exit, it's in my courtyard.
Regarding Li Hao's request, the man replied with some embarrassment: "For such a long distance, if only us people can get it, the time is a little too rushed."
When Li Hao heard this, he understood that since he didn't directly refuse, he still could do it, so he said, "I can't transfer you for the time being, but as long as you can handle this matter well, I will be rewarded."
Hearing Li Hao's words, the man replied, "Okay, then we will do our best to help you get things done."
After Li Hao nodded, he asked him to go down and rest first.
After the others left, Li Hao asked the stone, "The situation around Xihua Gate has been familiarized.
Do you know if there is any path that can lead to the Wanshengmen and the rented house if you don't take the main road?"
Shi replied, "I didn't care about this, I just brought people to familiarize myself with the surrounding environment of Xihua Gate in the past few days, and I didn't pay attention to the others."
Li Hao was not surprised by this, after all, he didn't explain this matter in advance, so he said, "Then next, you have to divide the people into two groups, and one group of people should have more people to complete the tunnel.
Another group of people picked some shrewd ones, and asked them to find a few fast and hidden routes from Xihua Gate to Wansheng Gate, Xihua Gate to the rented house, and the road from the rented house to Wansheng Gate, mainly unobtrusive paths."
The stone said that he had made a note of the incident, and then he was about to get up and leave.
At this time, Li Hao said again: "In addition, you wait for a while, I will go and get you five hundred taels of silver, and after you bring it back, you will share some with everyone, so that they can work hard."
When the work is done, there will be another reward, and you can grasp the size of it."
After the stone had been accepted, he received the money, and he took the men back to work.
On Li Hao's side, after the news of the second league spread, the Li Mansion became crowded for a while, and many people came to Li Hao to inquire about the situation.
Li Hao couldn't help but feel Liang Han's big mouth, after all, he knew the news in his camp, and if he wanted to spread the news, he would have spread it a long time ago.
In addition, the people who know the news are Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai and Liang Han, and only Liang Han will pass it on.
Li Hao didn't care about this, anyway, Li Hao also planned to notify him in two days.
But the only trouble is that Gu Tingye originally did these things, but now Gu Tingye can't come out of the palace.
As a result, things all fell on Li Hao's head, but Li Hao didn't have so much time to deal with them.
So Li Hao pulled Yang Wenyuan over and took care of this matter, which liberated himself.
….
However, just two days after the management, Yang Wenyuan came to Li Hao and said, "There are many people who came to participate in this portal who quit halfway last time.
What kind of charter should be treated with them, especially Song Qiping's who had a fuss last time, how to deal with them."
Hearing this, Li Hao said directly, "Since the official family wants us to do this, it is natural to be fair, open and just.
So as long as it's fair, you can do whatever you want, but don't make any big noise, you know."
Yang Wenyuan smiled after hearing this, and said, "Okay, then I understand, I'll go down and do it."
As he spoke, he left happily, Li Hao was not interested in how Yang Wenyuan would rectify those people in the future.
Now Li Hao's mind is all about plotting against King Yan, as long as this thing is done, in the future, don't say that he will rectify a bunch of gentlemen, even their father
Generations can come to rectify and rectify.
In the process of waiting, it felt that the time was extremely long, and in this waiting, there was still no movement in Bianjing City, which made Li Hao admire Yanwang's ability.
But Li Hao's determination could not replace Gu Tingye's anxiety, so when Li Hao met with Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye couldn't help but ask, "King Yan's side is inevitably too calm, where does it look like he is going to raise troops."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, they must be about to raise troops, just recently, don't worry."
Gu Tingye said, "How can this not be in a hurry, just wait like this, when will it take to wait."
Hearing Gu Tingye's complaints, Li Hao said, "You know why I am holding this league at this time, the purpose is to limit the time for King Yan to start his army."
"Is there any connection between the two?" Gu Tingye asked suspiciously after hearing this.
Li Hao explained: "If you think about it, if the league is held, there will definitely be a lot of people watching the game.
This time it is not limited to the nobles, there must be a lot of civil and military generals who come to watch the game, and there are royal battalions guarding them, and King Yan has no ability to hold these people.
If these people were all outside, would King Yan worry that these people would directly make a small court and come to Qingjun's side.
Especially when King Yan's foothold is unstable, and King Yan can't guarantee whether Ling Guogong and Marquis Ning Yuan will come, if these two people really come, and they hear about King Yan's forcing the palace, then the soldiers and horses in the western suburbs camp will not move."
Gu Tingye suddenly realized at this time and said, "That's true, then if King Yan wants to raise troops, it must be before the league starts.
And the army must be set up in advance, so it can only be sooner rather than later."
Li Hao said, "Yes, so don't worry, prepare for a few more days.
In the next two days, I will go to the official's house again, and on the grounds that there are too many people in this game and I want to maintain safety, I will bring all the royal battalions to the polo field and station them a few days before the start of the league.
If there is no imperial army in Bianjing City, it will be more convenient to come to Yanwang to do it, and then they should set the time for those days."
After hearing this, Gu Tingye said, "I guess they should choose this way, but what if the people and horses are all on the side of the polo field, and the two gates of the new city and the old city are closed."
….
Li Hao explained: "There won't be many people in the Yan Dynasty, they know the priorities, they must focus on the palace, and most of them will pretend to be safe and sound in the outer city.
There will certainly not be many people arranged, and then I will think of some ways to arrange some people near the two city gates, not too many, as long as I can block my soldiers from closing the gate when they are in the city.
On the contrary, you will face the most pressure, so be careful.
In addition, let me remind you that it is impossible for all of the Praetorian Guards to have the same heart as Rong Xian, and our official family is still very popular.
Let's see if there's a chance to get a little bit of a discord, and if you can mess them up, you can buy us more time."
After Gu Tingye dispelled his concerns, he quickly left.
After that, Li Hao went step by step as usual, preparing to write a book to ask the imperial camp army to move to the camp.
Suddenly, someone came to report that there was a conflict between the people who supported the Japanese army and the imperial camp army, and more than 100 people on both sides fought in the street, and now they are all detained by Kaifeng Mansion.
Hearing the news, Li Hao also wanted to ask about the specific situation, but found that the person who reported the news did not know, so he had to hurry to Kaifeng Mansion.
When Li Hao arrived, he first went to see the detained soldiers, and the people on both sides were locked up in two adjacent cells.
After a general look, I found that both sides should still have some restraint, at least they didn't use weapons, and most of their bodies were injured by some skin trauma.
And it is to be proud that there are only 43 people in the imperial camp in total, and they look lighter than the more than 70 people in the Japanese army.
Li Hao first asked about what happened, which was similar to what Li Hao thought.
It was the people on the side of the Imperial Camp Army who passed by the border while patrolling, and the Japanese army broke in to provoke.
Of course, the imperial camp army definitely didn't want to suffer a dumb loss, so the two sides became entangled.
So Li Hao asked, "Is that your hand that moved first, or their hand that moved first?"
One of the soldiers of the Imperial Battalion said, "They made the first move, and we were all ready to go.
And then all of a sudden, they started to fight, and then we fought back."
After Li Hao listened, he said, "If what you say is true, then there is no need to worry about this, I will come to administer justice for you."
After hearing this, the soldiers began to swear to the sky, which made Li Hao cry and laugh, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to make such a poisonous oath, I believe in you, you stay here first, and I will go to Kaifeng Mansion Yin to discuss."
Then he went to find Ouyang Xiu, but when Li Hao arrived, he found that Zhang Zhong, the commander of the Japanese army, was already sitting here.
Seeing Li Hao come in, Zhang Zhong said directly: "You people in the imperial camp are really arrogant, you dare to do something to my people who support the Japanese army, what are you going to do."
Hearing this, Li Hao was not used to his temper, although Li Hao did not know who Yanwang's people were, but he could make trouble at this time, and he couldn't get rid of Yanwang.
Since it was a grasshopper after the autumn, Li Hao didn't have to be polite to him, so he replied directly: "Commander Zhang, there are some wicked people who sue first.
I just went to ask why it was my fault that it was the people who supported the Japanese army who did it first, and it was also within the jurisdiction of my imperial army."
….
Zhang Zhong said: "This is obviously your subordinates deliberately talking nonsense and shirking responsibility, but my subordinates said that it was the hands of the people of the imperial battalion."
Li Hao sneered after hearing this, and said, "My people are just shirking responsibility, and your people are telling the truth, what kind of truth is this.
Moreover, there are many Japanese soldiers and few soldiers in the imperial camp, so why should they do it, I can't say it."
Zhang Zhong snorted coldly, and did not reply to Li Hao's words, but said directly to Ouyang Xiu: "Ouyang Mansion Yin, how do you judge this matter, you won't show favoritism just because you have a good relationship with Commander Li."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "Naturally, it won't be, and the two soldiers and horses gathered in Bianjing to fight, and it is not for me to deal with it.
The Japanese army is from the Sanya, and the imperial army is from the Imperial City Division, and I will invite a few adults to discuss it later."
As he was talking, a servant suddenly walked in from outside and said a few words in Ouyang Xiu's ear.
After that, Ouyang Xiu said: "Now you don't need to find someone to come, the official family will summon you, and the two of you will follow me into the palace to see you."
After speaking, he got up directly, and as for Li Hao and Chen Zhong, they also followed Ouyang Xiu and entered the vertical arch hall.
At this time, Zhao Zhen was extremely angry after hearing this.
Originally, Li Hao thought that this time it would be very miserable, and he was allowed to be justified, but the result came out, and fifty boards were played on both sides, and it was over after making peace with the mud.
Li Hao and Chen Zhong were both fined for one year, and all the soldiers who participated in the fight were dismissed.
Li Hao naturally disagreed with this, and thought about arguing with Zhao Zhen, but as soon as he said a few words, Zhao Zhen was already very unhappy to hear it.
Ouyang Xiu next to him also grabbed Li Hao and didn't let Li Hao continue.
So Zhao Zhen asked several people to retreat, and Chen Zhong didn't say a word, just left.
And Li Hao followed Ouyang Xiu out and asked, "Uncle, what are you pulling ***, this incident is obviously caused by the deliberate provocation of the people who support the Japanese army, why should my people be punished, how can there be such a reason in the world."
Ouyang Xiu said, "Since the official family has already made a decision, they will not change it without authorization, and this is not a big deal.
Those people are nothing more than soldiers, you just give more compensation, why bother
Come and compete with the officials."
Li Hao still wanted to argue at this time, but suddenly thought that this was not impossible, and he laid off these people on the surface, and he could take them back in private.
In this way, from light to dark, these more than 40 people plus more than 70 people from the Cao Gang are also a combat force that dares to fight and can fight, and they may be able to come in handy at a critical moment.
So he didn't speak, and Ouyang Xiu saw that Li Hao didn't speak, thinking that Li Hao had figured it out, so he took Li Hao back to Kaifeng Mansion.
After returning home, Li Hao led these people away.
After that, he didn't go directly back to the camp in the western suburbs, but found a place to talk to them about today's incident.
Of course, Li Hao didn't plan to tell them the truth, anyway, after this time, as long as they succeeded, it would be a trivial matter for them to return to the imperial camp.
….
If it fails, there will be no one anyway, and naturally there will be no need to know the truth.
So Li Hao said: "Your matter is a bit big, even the official family has been alarmed, this time the official family originally wanted us to fire all the participating soldiers."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly became a little anxious and said, "My lord, we didn't want to do it, we were forced by them, please help us."
As he spoke, he was about to kneel, but at this time, Li Hao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, listen to me.
I mean, that's what the official family originally said, but I later went to intercede with the official family, and the official family agreed.
It's just that those who support the Japanese army are going to be fired, and if I don't move at all, it will be difficult to explain at that time, so let's just go the same way, and the military registration will not be opened, and you can hide for a while.
And it just so happens that I also have something to find someone to do, so you will complete it, and when the time comes, the limelight will pass, and I will arrange you back.
Of course, this can be a little dangerous, but it's up to you whether you want it or not."
Of course, everyone has no problem with this, and these guys who dare to do it and can win more with less are not afraid to fight hard.
So Li Hao said again: "After you return to the camp today, don't say anything, lest outsiders know about it, and I won't explain it well.
When you have taken your things, you will go to the front of the city and stay by the village, and I will let the stone lead you, which was the stone that Gu had directed to you."
After everyone agreed, Li Hao led the people back to the camp, and when they packed up their things, they went to Qian'anzhuang.
Of course, this matter still caused some trouble in the camp, so Li Hao appeased him in the camp, and then explained the matter to Yuan Wenshao and asked him to continue to appease.
At night, Li Hao found the stone and told him about today's events, and asked him to lead the people back to work.
After this matter was settled, Gu Tingye came to the door and said at the same time, "Now that King Yan is already doing it, will they do it to us in the palace?"
Li Hao replied, "How is it possible, if you do it outside the palace, this matter can still be justified, but if such a thing happens in the palace.
Rong Xian's command envoys can't keep it, and when the time comes, there will be any talk about rebellion, how can King Yan be willing to pay this price.
If they really want to do it, it will definitely be the day of the rebellion, and you remember to send me a message in time."
After hearing this, Gu Tingye was relieved, and then prepared to leave.
But Li Hao said, "By the way, it's a coincidence that you came, and I have something to tell you.
In a few days, you bring Sister Rong and Brother Chang to me, and once things change, I will ask my father to take Sister Rong and Brother Chang to hide together through the tunnel.
The main thing is just in case, lest the king of Yan catch them and threaten you, and then it will not be good."
Gu Tingye also agreed with Li Hao's words, and agreed, "Okay, then I'll find an excuse to send the two of them here in two days."
After Gu Tingye left, Li Hao went back to his room to rest.
However, although this matter was resolved, the turmoil did not calm down.
Because a group of officials began to emerge in the DPRK and China, they began to participate in Li on this matter
Hao, the royal camp army on every fold is the villain.
Although Zhao Zhen didn't say anything when he saw the fold, the people who supported the Japanese army after that still looked at the people of the imperial camp army kept friction.
However, both sides restrained themselves this time, and did not make such a big disturbance as the first time.
But this matter still reached Zhao Zhen's ears, so he called Li Hao and Chen Zhong to lecture again.
This time, Li Hao took advantage of the situation to take a step back and said, "Now the date of the league is getting closer and closer, and there are many participants this time.
In order to maintain order, please bring the imperial battalion to the polo field to be stationed so that the guard is complete, and as for the defense of Bianjing, the minister will let it go for the time being, please forgive the official."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen still agreed with Li Hao's attitude of taking the initiative to retreat, so he agreed to Li Hao's invitation.
So Li Hao took the imperial camp away from the camp in the western suburbs and camped on the edge of the polo field, of course, Li Hao was not so peaceful.
A few days after setting up camp, Li Hao asked Zhang Wen to secretly gather some soldiers from the old camp and let Wang Yu take him out of the camp.
They found a place to take with them near Wansheng Gate, of course, the reason used was only that they were going to find a reason to praise the Japanese army for a good look, but in fact, Li Hao's purpose was to help the city gate not close.
Of course, when Li Hao's side was arranged, King Yan's side did not relax, especially after the imperial camp army completely left Bianjing City, their pace also accelerated.
The film and television heavens start from knowing whether or not.
