Section 690 Creating Trouble
After Xiao Heda arrived, under the instruction of Liu Yu, he was not only responsible for the sword gate, but also took charge of the daily affairs of Dali Temple, and took Vice Secretary Dong Neng to meet with hundreds of officials every day to deal with court affairs.
He has a lot of ingenuity, and there is no lack of thunderbolt determination. Baiguan saw that he was a fan for the first time, and he used ventriloquist and other strange skills, and he was quite disdainful in his heart, but he was obedient to him later, and he didn't dare to go beyond Lei Chi by half a step.
Under Xiao Heda's order, all government orders and military orders must be implemented to the end once they leave Dali Temple. In just three days, he managed Chang'an City in an orderly manner, and the situation gradually became clear. The only bad thing is that it has attracted the red eyes of a few people, among which there are the three provinces of Hubu Shangshu Liu and the great sacrificial wine Di Xin.
Liu San Province was ambitious, and originally wanted to control the government and become the first important minister of Chang'an City under Liu Yu. But with the arrival of Xiao Heda, all this was completely empty. Because of this, he was disgruntled, and spread the news that Xiao Heda was a grassland fan and was unworthy of being in charge of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Heda smiled at this and said nothing, but secretly used some clever means to win people's hearts and speed up the pace of taking over the Tang Dynasty. I believe that in the first half of the month, all the money and grain dispatch in Chang'an City will be at his disposal, and Liu San Province will be just a puppet at that time, and he will not be able to provoke much turmoil if he is allowed to talk nonsense.
And Na Di Xin is a person who has experienced ups and downs, this person has been both an emperor and a prisoner, he is young, but his scheming is a little deeper than Liu Sanxing.
Di Xin originally wanted to slowly move forward, gradually control the power in the Sword Gate, and realize his great cause of recovering the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.
But after a few days of observation, he has already realized that this Khitan man is an insurmountable mountain in front of him, and it is difficult to talk about it if he wants to overthrow this person and seize the power of the sword gate. Therefore, he had to hide his intentions deeply, be a tiger with shrunken teeth and claws, and wait for an appropriate opportunity to bring down Xiao Heda.
However, Xiao Heda is such a smart person, he knew this person from the first time he saw Di Xin, and he was by no means willing to live under others. It was only because he thought that the head of the house urgently needed talents, so he couldn't help himself and let this person go. Even so, his investigation into the Black Ravens is still quietly ongoing.
The Black Raven Organization is a powerful source of intelligence, and there are few hidden things that they can't find out about. If this kind of organization cannot be completely controlled by the Sword Sect, it will become a great disaster in the future. For this reason, Xiao Heda chose the only dead end of the Black Raven Organization - the Falcon Group of the Shingon Sect led by Tang Feng to break through.
The Falcon Group is capable and well-trained, and if it is only in terms of reconnaissance ability, it is only stronger than the Black Raven Organization, but the number of Falcon Group is too small to establish a huge intelligence network in all states and counties in the world like the Black Crow.
Xiao Hada ordered Tang Feng to send people to secretly collect information about the backgrounds and family backgrounds of the leaders at all levels of the Black Raven Organization, and found that most of these leaders were all living in various places, as long as their connections and family members were controlled, it should not be difficult to take them down.
On this day, Xiao Heda had just finished busy with government affairs, and saw Dong Neng hurrying over to report that Li Jing had killed the palace maid in Da Nei. Therefore, he had to go to the palace for a trip, and when he came back, his face was full of anxiety, and he trotted all the way to the outside of the study in the inner courtyard of Dali Temple, calling for a visit to the master.
After Liu Yu got Xiao Heda's assistance, he had a lot more free time. He was practicing cross-legged, but when he saw Xiao Heda coming, he ordered the servants to make tea, and said with a smile: "The military advisor doesn't have to be in a hurry, come slowly if you have something!"
Xiao Heda took a sip of tea, and frowned at the boiling water, "Master, how can I not be in a hurry, the emperor is gone!"
"The emperor is gone?" Liu Yu frowned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
If the emperor is gone, then the court under his control has lost its nominal core and no longer has the reputation to call on the princes of the world.
If the emperor suddenly appears from another place and forms a new small court. Then the court of Chang'an City will become a puppet court, and the military generals will no longer return to their hearts, and it is only a matter of time before they fall apart.
Xiao Heda frowned, "According to the confessions of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, just four days ago, we were fighting with Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi's men and horses outside the city, and the city was busy, and no one could care about the situation in the palace, and the emperor escaped at that time!"
Liu Yu nodded slightly, "The emperor doesn't know martial arts, and there are people guarding all over Chang'an City, so he will definitely not be able to escape from the city." Why don't you send someone to search around and find out its whereabouts!"
Xiao Heda sighed lightly and said, "The search should be searched, but there should be no results." Hearing that the people of the Shudi Rice Dou Society were involved in this matter, Yuan Longcheng had no shortage of masters, and it was easy to transport the emperor out of the city. ”
Liu Yu said angrily: "What a move to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, this Yuan Longcheng is not easy to with, but he is an ambitious person, and he will definitely become our fierce rival in the future." ”
He frowned as he spoke, remembering something else, "The black crow is extremely well-informed, and even in Ouchi has many eyes and ears. Di Xin knew about this, but he did not report it to me, and his heart was condemned. ”
Xiao Heda smiled slightly, "This person is only afraid that he is bent on regaining the throne, and now that the emperor is missing, he just took the opportunity to take the throne, why not do it!"
Liu Yu squeezed the armrest of the chair he was sitting on with his hand, "Of course I can't let him succeed, according to the opinion of the military advisor, what should we do next to get out of the current predicament?"
Xiao Heda took another sip of tea, this time the tea was no longer hot, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, "While the emperor's escape has not spread, we need to use his reputation to act one last time!"
"How?" asked Liu.
"In the previous war, the rebels lost nearly 100,000 horses. Even so, it did not hurt its roots, and they should have been able to organize an attack quickly again, but they had not moved for four whole days. Xiao Da looked at the head meaningfully.
Liu Yu nodded, "There should be infighting in the rebel army, according to the news handed over by the black crow, Huang Chao was dismissed from Shang Rang's position as deputy marshal due to the failure of the siege. The general Wang Xianzhi originally wanted to take the opportunity to take over the power, but was suspicious of Huang Chao. And Zhu Wen was also unable to be trusted because of the murder of his colleague Shang Junchang, and was ordered to return to Hejian Mansion and not to participate in the rebellion of the rebels. So far, there has not been a general in the rebel army who can lead the whole army, but Huang Chao's sons, nieces and sons-in-law have fought very hard for the position. Taking advantage of the slack of the rebels, we only need a little more effort to drag out the war into the cold winter, so that we can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Xiao Da hurriedly said: "No, the war must not be dragged on forever, but must end in winter." If Chang'an City is not guarded by the emperor, who dares to continue to occupy this place, it will inevitably be equivalent to a dove occupying a magpie's nest, and it will definitely attract the siege of the world. Why should the head of the house stay on the fire for a long time and be barbecued by others?"
He paused, "For the sake of today, it is to create an incident among the rebels and develop a situation as soon as possible that is conducive to the decisive battle between our army and the rebels. Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor's escape has not yet been revealed, we recruited Wang Xianzhi in the name of the emperor and named him as the Zuo Shence Army and the supervision of the imperial history. This man is greedy by nature, and the rebels are in a bad situation after a series of defeats, so he will inevitably agree to our request, so that the small centaurs of the rebels can be divided. At the same time, he canonized Wang Daozhi, the military advisor of the Righteous Army, as the Duke of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, led the history of the state assassination, and then removed a help from Huangchao. ”
