Chapter 264 Fire at the bottom of the cauldron

5days ago traverse Novels 2
On the post road, more than a hundred horses and other horses were running, and the sound of horse hooves was covered with dust and mist, and more than a hundred war horses ran into great shape.

Occasionally, a traveler let him beside the road early, waiting for the arrogant warriors to sway over.

Having been walking on the road for a few days, Han Lingkun shouted loudly: Send someone to go first to see if there are floating bridges on the Yellow River!

The Privy Council ordered Han Lingkun, commander of the Ma Army Commander of the General Office, immediately returned to the capital to report his duties.

Han Lingkun knew what was probably going on in Tokyo and understood his relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, but after weighing the gains and losses, he was still not ready to disobey.

If you do not listen to the military orders of the Privy Council, you either escape or openly disobey and raise an army.

Neither of them is a good choice. Even he doesn’t know where Zhao Kuangyin is now and has nowhere to go. Even if he knows, Zhao Kuangyin has nothing now, what’s the benefit of abandoning his wife and running over?

Han Lingkun’s wife and children are both in Tokyo.

Restoration is not the best strategy. Without the imperial guards, Fu Yanqing from Hebei can destroy him by summoning a call to mobilize the surrounding troops... Because the families of the soldiers of the left wing of the Long Jie Army are also in Tokyo, and there is no name for a hasty raising up. I guess everyone doesn't want to work hard for Han Lingkun alone, so it's better to turn against him in the last battle. The troops will not take his head to ask for me.

It is not too dangerous to go back after being ordered. Han Lingkun guessed that there were two possibilities: one was that the court was worried that he would take the imperial guards outside and test him, and the other was that he wanted to take the opportunity to demote the imperial guards to the local government as the governor.

The risk of directly exercising him is relatively small. Zhao Kuangyin has been a general for several years and has many brothers in the imperial guards. The superiors cannot exercising him alone.

Han Lingkun decided to be more polite first and go back and see the situation before talking about it.

A few days later, he arrived in Tokyo and first met two generals he knew and had a conversation. Sure enough, nothing happened.

At this time, Li Chongjin had been completely removed from his position as an imperial guard. He was the governor of the head with a big title of Secretariat and was still in Hedong.

Han Tong, who is guarding the Mabusi Department, has been promoted to the commander of the Mabusi and officially took the first seat.

Han Lingkun then went to the Guards Office to report to Han Tong.

Han Tong stared at him and asked him to report the situation on the Hebei border in a hard tone, and he couldn't even be birded.

Han Lingkun suddenly felt relieved and went to meet another brother Yang Guangyi in the evening that day, and the two of them talked at night with candles.

……

The next morning, before dawn, even the domestic roosters started crowing.

In the north of the outer city of Tokyo, in an ordinary yard, Li Ergen, the head of the Iron Cavalry, was ready to go on duty.

He put on his armor, lifted a knife and hung it on it, and saw the slave leading three horses over.

Li Ergen handed a rein to a man next to him wearing a robe and a robe: Commander Wang, I hope you don’t blame him for being inappropriate in courtesy last night.

The tall and strong man called Commander Wang said: Three years ago, you and I were both brothers. Even if the positions are high and low, the brotherhood is not different.

Li Ergen said: Good brother!Unfortunately, it was my turn to be on duty today and I couldn’t drink hard again.

I happened to go out with Brother Li.Commander Wang said.

please!After saying that, Li Ergen looked at another big man beside Commander Wang, and said in a deep voice, "Yang Duzhi, who is above Brother Li, really said it's okay?"

Commander Wang said: Yang Guangyi was the brother of Zhao Dushi, and his superiors knew the general of the Imperial Guard. He said it was okay, but it would definitely be fine in the short time... Besides, who is at our level who has time to control it?The people above can't even figure out who we are.Just say that Zhang Yongde is the one in front of the palace. He has been in the palace for so many years. Do you know you and me?

That's true.Li Ergen said.

Commander Wang whispered: We are just young masters, and we have to rely on the lord Zhao Duzhi to become military generals.Zhao Duzhi said that he was unable to rely on it for the time being, but he still had some brothers. Whoever takes office in the future will be with us.

Li Ergen immediately nodded vigorously and said: Yes, it is impossible to do it alone in the military generals. We still have to work together and find a backer.

Commander Wang's voice became lower: Yang Duzhi said that once the world changes, it is time for us to become prosperous; although there is nothing happening now, the storm and waves are still coming.It is not our business for us to be the emperor, but if the Empress Dowager and Guo Shao were the ones who were tyrannical, it would definitely not be our benefit; those people each had their own brothers, and they would not even be able to distinguish the benefits of a bowl of soup.

Li Ergen said: If anyone raises his arms, there are still a lot of people in our hands.

Don't worry, you have to wait.Now I have to come forward alone to convince the public. I don’t know who this person is, and then I also have the opportunity and can’t just do it in a mess.He just acted recklessly, and even Zhao didn't dare to run away.Commander Wang reminded that you have nothing to do recently, just take the reward and be careful.

Li Ergen sighed: What kind of fear is that women are so afraid of, but they ask her to be king and dominate... Brother Wang said why did our lord Zhao Duzhi run away without saying a word? If he shouted, wouldn't the brothers fight for him?

Commander Wang said: Our brothers are willing, but the generals of the Iron Cavalry are not all brothers. Zhao Duzhi failed.

...It was also chilly in the early morning of early August and many people didn't get up. There was an alley outside the yard, and there was not even a single person before dawn.There is a street outside the alley.

Guo Shao took a carriage and took a group of civil-clothed followers who were riding the carriage and slowly arrived at the entrance of the alley. He stopped on the side of the road, and the lanterns of the carriages and horses were all turned off.

Guo Shao took out an envelope with the words: Li Ergen.

If your husband didn't come back after leaving the house in the morning, a stranger came to the house and said, "Your husband has something important to leave home for a while, would you be suspicious?"Guo Shao whispered.

Jingniang, who was sitting next to him, said: You will definitely be suspicious... If I were from that family, I would send someone to my friend’s house, whom I always had, to ask about the situation, and then find my husband’s ups.

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought: What if there was a letter and token from his husband?

If the letter is well written, it will still be skeptical, but you will be afraid of being scolded if the noise is too big. You will be very cautious before the alarm goes up.Jingniang is serious.

Guo Shao pondered again: No one of them occasionally did not go on duty, and there would be no movement in the military camp within a few days.

At this moment, Lu Chengyong walked to the carriage and asked quietly: The time is coming, has the lord ordered the ambush?

Guo Shao opened the curtain and reminded: The generals of the Iron Cavalry Army are all strong and young men. See clearly and don’t catch the wrong ones; if there are more than three people accompanying you, cancel the action and don’t be in a hurry!

I understand the humble position.Lu Chengyong clasped his fists and said.

Guo Shao turned around and said to Jingniang: Lu Chengyong was a former infantryman of the "Little Di Army". His martial arts are a bit awkward. If you ask Yang Biao to go with me, I feel more at ease with you two.

Jingniang said: Officials are waiting for my news.

Guo Shao yawned and got up too early. Usually, as long as it is not the day of a great dynasty, he is probably still sleeping, but he has been getting up for an hour today.

He closed his eyes and took a nap in the carriage.

Unexpectedly, just after a daze, he heard a sound outside. He quickly picked up the curtain and saw three big men caught in a bun tied up and blocked the cloth. They were in the alley.

The soldiers behind were also holding horses and holding some weapons and debris.

Currently, a big man tied up has a slit on his face, as if he had just been scratched, with blood on his face.

Jing Niang said: I didn’t want to draw my sword, this guy is not honest.

Guo Shao couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: Take the carriage and leave.

After a while, Jing Niang got on Guo Shao's carriage, and the sound of wheels gurgling outside, and it started to bump slightly.Guo Shao said to Jingniang: Torture them and ask them to confess the names of other people.Afraid that he missed the record, he took a list of the three-level military generals of the Iron Cavalry (Military Envoy), Commander, and Deputy Commander.

Tomorrow morning, I would like to think of another way, choose another one to catch it, or force me to confess.If the list of identified items is different, you can use torture by cutting your hands and feet, knocking your teeth and torture... If it doesn't work, you can also threaten their families.

Jingniang said: We are too cruel...

Guo Shao said: This is not a ruthlessness, it is just a matter of winning or losing... If you lose, you have to pay the price.Zhao Kuangyin's party and the empress dowager compete for power, and great power is related to the life and death future of countless people; since those people want to be prosperous and wealthy and have the courage to participate, they should have the courage to take the precautions to lose everything after failure; how can they not even have capital to gambling and make money?

Jing Niang pondered: Anyway, they are going to die, so it’s nothing to ask them to suffer.

Guo Shao smiled and said: I have to think so.What you should have to do, no matter how you think about it, why don’t you understand and have to get along with yourself?

Jing Niang, who has always loved to be cold, glanced at him, as if she was becoming more and more interested in Guo Shao.

Guo Shao said: I have figured it out for a long time. Since I dream of making a name for myself, I should face such fierce competition... Let's understand Zhao Kuangyin's team clearly; two days later, my court asked Huang Binglian to report the case of Zhao San rape and killing his brother and sister-in-law, and promote it to him in front of all civil and military officials; then post the case everywhere in the city to build up the situation.

What's the use of that yellow robe?Jingniang asked.

Guo Shao said: The yellow robe and the surviving verbal Zhao Pu can convict Zhao Kuangyin. Don’t act for the time being. If we are too fierce, it may make others realize the danger and jump over the wall... Now it is just saying that Zhao San is morally corrupt and does everything he wants, and he does not talk about Zhao Kuangyin. The Zhao San case is like burning water to a warm fire first; the last killer weapon adds a big fire at the bottom of the cauldron, which really boils the water!

Jing Niang frowned and thought for a while, and said: The last time the master's mutiny was also at the last moment. Others still don't know what you are going to do.I see this time the same is true.

Guo Shao laughed and said: I have done this once and then I have experience. I can do it easily... Hey, when you say that, I really feel very skilled.
