Dou Jiande.

One of the twelve masters of the Iron Hand Regiment.

The organizational structure of the Iron Hand is very simple.

Among them, the suzerain, Yuan Buji, is the most noble and has great power.

After that, below the suzerain, there are the so-called twelve halls.

These twelve halls are named after the dragon, the white tiger, the spirit leopard, the bear, the pixiu, the fox, the jackal, the pig, the python, the turtle, the blood jiao, and the golden calf.

And this Dou Jiande is the master of the Hedgehog Hall, one of the twelve halls, who is responsible for the affairs of the Iron Hand Regiment in Hebei.

"Sect Master, what do you command?"

At this time.

Heard Yuan Buji's call.

Dou Jiande walked out quickly and bowed.

"There are thousands of brothers in charge of Hebei, there is no shortage of capable people under your command, this Brother Zhang is a distinguished guest of my Iron Hand Regiment, these days, you will follow him, serve well, don't slack off."

Yuan Buji nodded and said to Dou Jiande.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Dou Jiande arched his hand slightly, and said in his mouth.

Subsequently.

Yuan Buji took out an iron warrant, handed it to Zhang Zhongjian, and said at the same time: "My iron hand group is not suitable to make a move, we dare not listen to how to go against the imperial court, let alone do it, everything is borne by the elder brother alone."

"Sect Master Yuan, I thought that decades ago, the leader of the Dock Fort in the Mighty Earthquake Pass didn't behave like this, could it be that Yang Jian's quick knife had drained your ambition?"

Zhang Zhongjian took the Iron Order on behalf of the Sect Master of the Iron Hand Regiment, pursed his lips, and sneered and mocked.

This Yuan Buji, who dominated the world when he was young, because of his extraordinary martial arts, he had already made a name for himself in the underworld.

After that, the power of the Iron Hand Regiment Dock Fort expanded, and slowly colluded with Yang Jian, the prince of Suiguo at that time, and eradicated many hostile forces in the underground world, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.

However, with Yang Jian's unification of the world, this sharp blade in the dark has also become the ruler's couch tiger.

After a purge of the Guanzhong Iron Hand Regiment, Yuan Buji led the elite to flee to Hebei, quietly lurking, and developing his power.

As for how Zhang Zhongjian met Yuan Buji, the reason is very simple, the concubine of the crown prince Yang Yong is surnamed Yuan, and Yuan Buji is also surnamed Yuan.

Day 2.

Zhang Zhongjian and Dou Jiande left.

Yuan Buji sat firmly in the residence in the underground palace, listened carefully to the direction of Zhang Zhongjian's departure, and nodded slightly.

"He wants to contact Yang Liang, the king of Han, and this is indeed a good choice...... If things succeed, my Iron Hand Regiment will have the strength to enter the world, and if things fail, then this land of Hebei may not be able to stay. ”

Yuan Buji's eyes flickered, and he thought in his heart.

After the change of the situation.

Yuan Buji thinks that he has seen the world clearly.

The era of the Yuan clan has passed.

And now, what he can do is either to be behind the scenes and use the world as a chess, or to enjoy a lifetime of wealth in a corner of peace.

Therefore.

Yuan Buji had to plan for the worst.

"Pass my order, let the people in the middle of the gang migrate to the land of Youyan and the land of Jiangnan, and gain a firm foothold in these two places, so as to develop in the future."

Yuan Buji slowly got up and said to the other eleven hall masters.

"Yes!"

The eleven hall masters gave up their hands together and took orders to leave.

After everyone is gone.

Yuan Buji clapped his hands gently.

Applause.

But when he saw the shadow of the underground palace, a black-robed man came out again.

"Send this letter to Chang'an...... Oh no, it should be called Daxing now, and put it in the hands of the Yin World Master. ”

Yuan Buji took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the black-robed man.

The black-robed man nodded, didn't speak, turned around in silence, and walked away quickly.

……

and state.

The Governor's Mansion of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Liang, the king of Han who was in charge of the state soldiers and horses, lived here.

And in recent days.

Yang Liang's mood is not beautiful.

A few days ago.

Because the queen is lonely, Garo is buried in the sky.

As his own son, Yang Liang rushed to Daxing City to attend his mother's funeral.

But as soon as I arrived in Daxing City.

He was immediately blocked out of the city by his imperial uncle Yang Yichen.

What's more, when the day came for the children of the clan to bid farewell to their mother's coffin, he could only watch from a distance, and could not get close to worship at all.

On the other hand, his second brother Yang Guang has full authority to handle funeral matters, as if he is the official crown prince of the Great Sui.

But.

Yang Liang can endure these things.

Because he is far away in the state, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under him.

If Yang Guang knew each other, he could also bow down and surrender in the name of his younger brother.

If Yang Guang really didn't know each other, then these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the state could naturally go all the way south and enter Guanzhong.

And now.

Yang Guang obviously didn't know each other.

"Your Highness, and the state soldier Cao Pei Wen'an, the governor of the state soldiers and horses, asks to see you."

At this time.

The guards serving outside the door bowed down to report.

"Let him in!"

Yang Liang waved his hand and said.

Not much.

Pei Wen'an, who was tall and thin and handsome, walked in quickly and bowed.

"Okay, don't be polite, what is the result of the matter that the Lone King asked you to investigate?"

Yang Liang stopped Pei Wenan and asked.

"The minister has investigated the matter clearly, and this rumor did come from Daxing City, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Jin pushed Princess Qionghua into the pool of the imperial garden, and then falsely accused the prince of witchcraft."

Pei Wenan replied respectfully.

"Sure enough, as expected by King Lone, now that my father is resting in Renshou Palace, it is said that his health has not been very good in recent days, and there are young people in the court who immediately jumped out to cause trouble in the world."

Yang Liang sneered and said.

"So according to His Highness's opinion, is this matter true or false?"

Pei Wenan then asked.

"The lonely king let him be true, it is true; The lonely king asked him to fake, it was fake! Summon, summon the Chinese military officials of the Han Palace, and discuss the matter! ”

At this time.

Yang Liang got up suddenly.

He shook the big behind him, took a step, and walked straight to the council hall of the governor's mansion.

It didn't take a while.

The Han Palace, and the civil and military officials under the command of the governor of the state came to the council hall together.

These people, who share weal and woe with Yang Liang, are all subordinates whom Yang Liang trusts very much.

Wait for everyone to arrive.

Yang Liang pressed his sword and stood up, and said loudly: "What happened in Daxing City, everyone must have heard of it, and now in the imperial court, there are rumors that the prince is falsely accusing the prince of rebellion...... Therefore, the lone king is ready to raise troops into the court, are you willing to accompany him? ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The ministers under his command were all surprised.

Among them, Emperor Changshi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if the situation is stable today, the people are tired of war, and several old princes sitting in the Quartet have added a lot of soldiers and horses, if you act rashly, I am afraid that you will be defeated!"

It's good that Huangfu didn't say this.

As soon as he said this, he immediately touched a barb in Yang Liang's heart.

"Humph! Several kings with different surnames can expand their armies and increase their troops, but the lone king is a dignified son, and he is not as old as a few old people? What does he want to do when Yang Guang expands the army for Luo Yi? Isn't it just to guard against the Lone King? ”

Yang Liang's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly.

"Your Highness, this is the Yang conspiracy of King Jin, in order to let you fall for the scheme, you have to guard against it!"

Huangfu continued to advise.

"Humph! Huangfu's birthday, you dare to disturb the hearts of our army, do you really think that you can't kill the lone king in the long history of the imperial court? ”

Seeing the emperor's birthday, he still chattered.

Yang Liang's face suddenly showed a look of disgust.

He waved his hand and asked a few of his own soldiers to drag Huangfu down.

After the noisy man left.

Yang Liang continued to ask: "This matter, King Gu has decided, as for the strategy of raising troops into the court, do you have a good plan?"
