Chapter 4: Eliminate the Inner Ghosts

After Li Hao packed up, he went out of the mansion to meet the palace guards given by the Liang family, and went to meet Wang Ping.

The commander of the palace guard this time is Yuan Lang, and his family has been the son of the Yuan family for several generations, and there is no doubt about his loyalty.

However, what made Li Hao a little concerned was that Yuan Lang's other identity was that he was not Yuan Pei's personal companion, but Li Hao's uncle Yuan Yu's personal companion, and he grew up with Yuan Yu.

So to a certain extent, his loyalty to the Liang family is only better than Yuan Pei.

On the way, Li Hao asked Yuan Lang about the palace guards and the tribe, and Yuan Lang also answered them one by one.

It's just a pity that Yuan Lang has been staying in the mansion all the time and doesn't know much about the trilogy.

But according to what he said, the tribes around Jiaodong were all born in the portals that had followed the Yuan family for several generations, and they were extremely loyal.

And most of them have participated in the battle formation against the emperor, and their actual combat ability is not weak.

Hearing this, Li Hao had a bottom in his heart, not to mention the level of combat power, as long as the degree of loyalty was enough.

After meeting Wang Ping, Zhang Gui and others, Wang Ping and Zhang Gui discussed with Li Hao and set off directly to meet the bandits.

Li Hao naturally had no opinion on this, but before leaving, he said: "Two uncles, I haven't seen the family tribe yet, so it's better to meet now, let me have a long experience, and it can also boost morale." ”

Suddenly hearing these words, Wang Ping seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is also the right reason, I think if they know that you are personally leading the team this time, they will definitely die." ”

Li Hao heard the words and said: "What Uncle Wang said, the matter of the team leader is naturally you and Uncle Zhang, I just join in the fun." ”

A few people present smiled, and then Wang Ping ordered the troops to assemble and prepare to set off, and before leaving, Li Hao showed up in the part and said a few words.

The meaning of the words is also very simple, let them know that behind them are their parents, wives and children, so they can't back down.

In addition, it is also a promise that the Yuan family will not treat those who are loyal to them badly, and after repelling the bandits this time, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds.

The good credit given to the Yuan family for several generations, coupled with the identity of the son in law of the head of the Li Hao family, the following part is naturally convinced, and the morale is greatly boosted.

After that, on the stage, Li Hao gave Zhang Gui and Wang Ping, after all, in the eyes of others, Li Hao is definitely not familiar with military affairs at this young age.

But who knew that Li Hao was in his previous life, but he had experienced the battle with soldiers and horses.

So even if Zhang Gui and Wang Ping didn't talk to Li Hao in detail, just by looking at it like this, Li Hao estimated that there were about 23,400 people in this song.

And from the perspective of mental outlook, although these people are not as good as the elite soldiers organized and trained by Li Hao and Gu Tingye, they are also inferior to the ordinary Great Song Forbidden Army.

You must know that this is just the private soldiers of the Yuan family, and they all have such an elite spirit, so if it is the famous Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, what kind of style will it be.

Guoheng mourned with weakness, and Han died with strength! The bravery of the Han army seems to have set the tone from the very beginning of the country.

On the way to the march, Zhang Gui and Wang Ping were still quite respectful to Li Hao, and before each order, they would come to ask Li Hao's opinion.

Of course, Li Hao didn't say anything, everything was still done according to the ideas of the two of them, and everything was smooth before encountering the enemy.

It wasn't until everyone found the border of Jimo County that the scouts sent earlier came to report, saying that they had found out where the bandits were.

They captured the house fort of a large family here, which was about 20 miles away from where Li Hao was now, and then temporarily stopped there.

After getting the news, Zhang Gui and Wang Ping discussed on their own, if they could avoid direct fighting, they would try to avoid it.

Therefore, they wanted to move their men forward ten miles, where there happened to be the two forts of the Yuan family, and the two of them each led a part of the men and horses to station, confronted the bandits, and blocked them out of Jiaodong.

After the discussion was decided, the two came to ask Li Hao's opinion and asked Li Hao where he wanted to follow.

Of course, they wanted Li Hao to follow Wang Ping, because the location of the fort was relatively backward and the security was higher.

Li Hao did not interfere with their decision-making, and directly agreed.

After Li Hao and the others settled down in the fort, Li Hao found Yuan Lang and asked: "I noticed that you seem to be dissatisfied with the actions of the two uncles Zhang and Wang along the way, but there is such a thing. ”

Hearing these words suddenly, Yuan Lang was shocked, he obviously felt that he was hiding it well, how could it be seen so easily.

Seeing that Yuan Lang was still a little wandering, Li Hao continued: "Since my mother will let you protect me, I think I also trust you very much, I naturally believe in my mother's knowledge, so I hope you can tell me the truth." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lang replied: "As Gongzi said, I do have some dissatisfaction with Zhang and Wang, they seem to respect Gongzi and inquire about everything.

But after careful investigation, everything was actually negotiated between them and their subordinates in advance, and Lai Gongzi was just a formality, and He Zeng really came to Gongzi to inquire.

Although Childe is indeed young and unfamiliar with military affairs, maybe what he thinks will be inappropriate, but when the time comes, he will speak out, how can he be isolated. ”

"Actually, even if the prince doesn't ask about this, I will tell the female monarch after returning home, after all, these parts are the people of the Yuan family, not their private soldiers." Yuan Lang paused, and then said these words again.

After listening to what Yuan Lang said, Li Hao roughly understood Yuan Lang's position.

After pondering for a while, Li Hao asked: "Then if Wang Ping has bad intentions, I will directly take over these parts, do you think it is feasible?" ”

These words shocked Yuan Lang's body, and he replied: "Gongzi is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, so it is naturally not a problem to take over the trilogy, but even if Zhang and Wang are a little slow, they will not be like this."

In addition, now that he is in front of the battle after all, he directly won Zhang and Wang, for fear of provoking criticism from others, which is not good for the reputation of the son; Second, when the battle is changed, I am afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate, and how to deal with that group of bandits at that time. ”

Li Hao replied: "When I ask you about this, naturally it won't be because of slow treatment, and my mind is not so narrow-minded."

In this way, you disperse your subordinates, keep an eye on Wang Ping and the people close to him, see who has been in contact with them recently, and remember not to let people find out. ”

"You suspect that Wang Ping is plotting against him, the two of them are the sworn brothers of the head of the family, more than that." Yuan Lang felt that the impact he had received today was really wave after wave, and one wave was stronger than another.

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "I also hope that I am wrong, but you must be careful after all, you send someone to keep an eye on it first."

If it turns out that I am suspicious, I will apologize to my two uncles in person. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lang didn't say anything more, and went directly to arrange this matter.

However, in terms of specific operations, Yuan Lang gave full play to his subjective initiative a little, and by the way, he asked people to go to Zhang Gui and monitor him.

Anyway, in Jiaodong, Yuan Lang, as a close confidant of the Yuan family, can borrow a wide enough network, far from being comparable to Wang Ping and Zhang Gui.

Of course, Yuan Lang did not have no doubts, and in secret, Yuan Lang also ordered someone to go back quickly with the book and inform the Liang family of the matter.

After Liang received this letter, he was also worried in his heart, after all, this matter was going to be done wrong, and when Yuan Pei came back, Li Hao was afraid that he would inevitably be punished.

It's just that in the end, Liang still chose to believe in his son, and it was a big deal that he would come forward to make peace, so he also wrote a letter to Yuan Lang and asked him to obey Li Hao's orders.

However, before Liang's letter was delivered to Yuan Lang, the people who were staring at Wang Ping had a harvest.

So after Yuan Lang heard the news, he hurriedly found Li Hao: "As Gongzi said, Wang Ping is really a little strange there.

Early this morning, one of Wang Ping's henchmen left the castle and went to a remote place to meet a person.

My men followed it all the way, but it was relatively empty, so in order not to be detected, my men hid far away and couldn't hear what they were saying.

But I could see that the man gave Wang Ping's confidant something, and then separated.

After Wang Ping's henchman came back, he went straight to Wang Ping's, stayed for a while and left, and then Wang Ping also left the house.

Then my men went in and searched it, and found nothing unusual, but they could see that there was ash from the burning in a copper basin inside, and it seemed that he was secretly afraid that he had a plan. ”

After Li Hao listened, he sighed in his heart: "It seems that Wang Ping really didn't take me seriously, we have only been here for a day, and he can't sit still, and he is a little unscrupulous."

It's a pity that he has a good habit of burning immediately after reading, otherwise he wouldn't have used to guess his intentions. ”

Then Li Hao had to think about what to do next, whether to take the risk back, detain Wang Ping first, or wait for the opportunity.

After thinking about it, Li Hao said: "If I let you take down Wang Ping, but you can't make a big move, can you do it?" ”

Yuan Lang replied: "Son, rest assured, in this house and castle, the Yuan family is the master, and it is easy to take down Wang Ping." ”

This is not true, these families in the Han Dynasty were local emperors, with great power, and there were Yuan Pei's deeds of leading the clan to fight against the emperor, and the prestige of the main branch house was extremely high.

So Li Hao ordered: "Okay, Wang Ping, you continue to stare at it, I expect that he and the other party will definitely be in touch."

The next time the things given by the other party enter Wang Ping's house, you will take someone to rush in, arrest him and seize his personal stolen goods.

In addition, Zhang Gui also sent some people over to keep an eye on him, after all, he had a close relationship with Wang Ping, and it was difficult to guarantee that he was not implicated. ”

Yuan Lang replied when he heard this: "Don't worry, Son, the next thing will be arranged by me." ”

As for the news that he had already sent someone to Zhang Gui's side, he didn't say it here, after all, more things are better than less, and the result is the same.

But who knew that Zhang Gui was too lax in doing things, and the previous communication matters were not mentioned, which was the same as Wang Ping's here.

It's just that for some reason, Zhang Gui didn't even develop the good habit of burning after reading, but just hid what he received.

As a result, it was turned over by Yuan Lang's people, and it turned out to be a letter of letters.

However, in order not to alarm Zhang Gui in advance, he just wrote down the contents of the book, and the original was put back.

After Yuan Lang received this copied book, he didn't care about Li Hao in the lake, so he hurriedly went to Li Hao and showed it to Li Hao.

It turns out that the content of this book is that Wang Ping and Zhang Gui want to take the Yuan family and Li Hao to a dangerous place to facilitate the bandits.

Of course, it is mentioned in the book that Li Hao will be captured alive, which can be used to blackmail the Yuan family in the future.

Seeing the content of this book, Li Hao shuddered in his heart, but he didn't expect that his deliberate clumsiness would become a sign of bullying in their eyes.

Just as Li Hao was pondering, Yuan Lang scolded: "These two immoral villains, the head of the family trusts them so much, and all kinds of land shops are not stingy.

As a result, these two people dared to unite with the bandits, intending to be unfavorable to the Yuan family, which is really damned. ”

After Li Hao heard this, he replied: "You can't let them die so easily, and you have to find out who is planning our Yuan family from their mouths."

I don't believe it was the two of them, I knew my father was still outside.

Even if they succeeded, when my father returned, they would not be able to escape death, unless someone was supporting them and convincing them that even if my father returned, they would not be able to help them. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lang also nodded slightly, agreeing that Li Hao's conjecture should be right.

But this is all an afterthought, now that there is empirical evidence, the next thing is logical, in order to make Wang Ping's side have sufficient evidence, so as not to startle the snake.

Therefore, the time for arresting people was still booked after they connected, and both of them were arrested at one time.

Originally, Li Hao still planned to let Yuan Lang do this, so he continued to hide behind the scenes, but Yuan Lang suggested: "It's best for Gongzi to come forward in this matter, after all, you have to deal with a lot of thieves next."

It is easy to take down Wang Ping and Zhang Gui, but the morale of the army will definitely be affected by then, and some people are only afraid that they will be implicated by the two.

But if a son comes forward, directly unifying everyone can appease people's hearts and allow the tribes to kill the enemy with peace of mind. ”

Seeing that what Yuan Lang said was indeed reasonable, Li Hao agreed.

Then Yuan Lang was going down to arrange things, and before leaving, Li Hao said: "Some things can be made by yourself, such as this letter came so quickly, I am very happy."

But there are some things that you can't do on your own, and I hope you can understand the balance in that. ”

To be honest, when he saw this letter, Li Haodang guessed that Yuan Lang must have sent someone over in advance, and it was inferred from this that the Liang family should have also received the news.

Although Li Hao didn't care about this matter, he thought that when Li Hao and Yuan Lang would definitely have dealings in the future, he would order a little in advance, so as to set the tone for the future.

After that, things went very smoothly, Wang Ping and Zhang Gui never took Li Hao in their eyes, so they were defenseless at all, and the method and place of the second contact were not changed, and they were stared at by Yuan Lang's people.

Then when Wang Ping was hiding in the house and looking at the contents of the book, Li Hao and Yuan Lang led people to rush in directly and detain Wang Ping's henchmen.
