Chapter 534 The Storm in the River East (6)

"Young Duke!" Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, his face returned to calm, and he said to Li Shaoyou: "The last general and his party in the city have a rough inspection of the defense in the city. The palace is vast and there are hundreds of soldiers. With a battalion of soldiers from the forbidden army, we can try to break it! The city wall of Yang is tall and thick, with buildings connected to each other, many sentry posts, and soldiers stationed in it. We were isolated outside the city, guarded by thousands of troops, and it was in vain.”

As he said that, Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath: "If you want to control the palace, you need to launch a surprise attack. If you can't solve the trouble of the tooth soldiers, go quietly into the city. I'm sorry to say bluntly, I'm not sure!"

He spoke frustrating words, but Zhao Kuangyin stared straight at Li Shaoyou with active eyes.

Noticing his eyes, Li Shaoyou grinned, and said directly: "I will solve the problem of entering the city and the trouble of the dental soldiers. Even the deployment of the defenders in the city, as well as the terrain, rotation, and patrol of the palace can be provided. Give you!"

After Li Shaoyou finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin immediately said: "If this is the case, you will finally be able to take the palace!"

"Okay!" Li Shaoyou was also very straightforward: "It's only two or three days! Another point, General Zhao must think carefully, even if there is chaos, it must be confined within the palace!"

In fact, in Li Shaoyou's consideration, the most vigilant ones belonged to the guards of the palace. Those sergeants were basically Liu Chong's loyalists.Although Wu Desi had installed some people, it was not safe enough, and even Li Shaoyou didn't dare to start it easily.

The two discussed in secret again, and the major events involving the stability of Hedong and even the stability of the court were planned by these two young people who were less than 30 years old.

When quietly leaving the barracks, Li Shaoyou sighed silently, this Zhao Kuangyin is really a hero.

"That Lord Shouyang, what a powerful character!" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sighed to Han Lingkun in the military tent.

"I heard that Duke Shouyang is lustful and greedy for drinking. He seldom hears about his affairs. He basically blames his subordinates for reporting and inviting favors. There have been rumors in the court before that if he is not for his majesty's cousin and close relationship, the position of Wu De envoy , It belonged to Wang Jingchong a long time ago!" Han Lingkun said to Zhao Kuangyin "popular science".

"Do you think today's son is a crony king?" Hearing what he said, Zhao Kuangyin immediately asked back: "With your majesty's talent for employing people, would you give such a heavy responsibility and power to him? Wu Desi, it's so thought-provoking." I have a cold!"

Zhao Kuangyin's mind was full of Li Shaoyou's performance of Zhizhu's control during the preparations just now, where did that calmness come from, and the strength of Wu Desi, he had some feelings.

Turning around, Zhao Kuangyin turned to Han Lingkun seriously, and said in a warning tone: "Brother Deshun, listen to my advice, don't ask what you said just now. Even if you hear it, don't talk about it, otherwise, it will spread to the villain." Ears, fear of inflicting unreasonable disasters!"

Han Lingkun was a little puzzled, but still cupped his hands: "Okay, listen to you!"

After finishing speaking, he asked Zhao Kuangyin in a low voice: "Yuan Long, is the King of Taiyuan planning to rebel? Both you and Lord Shouyang came here by His Majesty's secret order?"

Facing Han Lingkun's gaze, Zhao Kuangyin smiled lightly and said, "You have held back your words for a few days!"

"I'm conceited to be stupid, but I'm not stupid either. As for the brothers accompanying me, who doesn't have doubts at this point!" Han Lingkun said.

"The king of Taiyuan is the uncle of the emperor, stay in Beijing, Jiedu of Hedong, the dry city of the country, the pillar of the sky, how can we and other humble generals be able to talk about it." Zhao Kuangyin said quietly.

"However, brother Deshun, you and I have to prepare for a big event!" Zhao Kuangyin added, and Han Lingkun's spirit doubled.

Xinzhou, Xiurong.

In the yamen hall, the defense envoy Li Cungui was enjoying singing and dancing. Two beautiful dancers were merchants from Jinyang, and they paid special tribute to him.This Li Cungui was originally the clan of the Later Tang Dynasty and the cousin of Emperor Zhuangzong Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty. He was nearly 60 years old. Defensive envoy, allow it.

In Xinzhou, Li Cungui can be said to be domineering, flying eagles and running dogs, fishing and playing, always happy, with a lot of grades, but he has that energy and physical strength.Xinzhou is an important border defense area in the north, and it was originally responsible for guarding against the Khitan, but after Yang Yeshu took over, the pressure on Xinzhou was reduced a lot.With Yang Ye blocking the way to the north, he can hide behind and enjoy himself with peace of mind.

Sitting leisurely at the table, listening to music and admiring the beauty, the old man's face was full of joy, the two young ladies who had just opened their buds were obviously very fond of him.Even, thinking about how to repay the businessman who offered her daughter.

"My lord, the Xinkou garrison will report to practice Yang Ye on behalf of Zhou Tuan, and lead someone to detain him!" At this time, a military academy came to the hall to report.

"What?" Li Cungui's drunken face subsided, and he said in shock: "Yang Ye is calling! How dare the court do it? How many troops did Yang Ye bring?"

He also received Liu Chong's order to closely guard Daizhou, and told him about the imperial court's military and political measures against Hedong and Liu Chong's response. Li Cungui fully agreed with Liu Chong's consideration. If the imperial court succeeds, He doesn't have the carefree days he has now.

A little guilty, Li Cungui seemed very nervous.

Wen Qiji asked, Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly responded: "Yang Tuanlian only has a hundred riders!"

"A mere hundred riders, dare to knock on my Guancheng?" Li Cungui questioned, but his expression was relaxed.

"He said that he went south to Jinyang in accordance with the government order of Jiedu, so he passed through the border!" The school replied.

Now, Li Cungui was puzzled, and said to himself: "Is that so? Your Majesty asked me to guard against Daizhou before, and I didn't see any envoys send orders to the north. How could Yang Ye follow the orders of the commander-in-chief to go south?"

At this time, one of the assistants who was accompanying the banquet in the hall suggested: "Whether it is true or not, you can invite him into the city. In addition, send someone to Jinyang to check. Yang Ye, who is in command of Daizhou, is worth being afraid of. But in Xiurong City, the envoy is in charge!"

His eyes lit up, Li Cungui smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about if there are only a hundred riders. Order Xinkou to let him pass the customs and introduce him to Xiurong City for me, saying that I want to entertain him."

It was almost dusk when Yang Ye led his people into Xiurong City.In the yamen, Li Cungui and his staff inspected it carefully, and the staff said: "This is indeed an order issued by the Jiedu Mansion!"

Standing aside, Yang Ye's tiger's eyes are like a still pond. As he grows older, his image becomes more and more handsome. Coupled with years of experience in frontier defense, Yang Ye is like a sword that has been hammered and tempered, finally becoming a weapon, standing Over there, the edge is restrained, but even more intimidating.

For Yang Ye, Li Cungui was jealous and hated. He was jealous of his declaration of meritorious service in defending the frontier, and hated him for cutting off his own money.In the early years, when the imperial court banned the border and the market, many business travelers under Li Cungui who smuggled salt, iron, tea and wine outside the Great Wall were investigated and dealt with by Yang Ye, which caused Li Cungui a lot of losses.Now that the border area has been reopened, it is still controlled by him, so looking at Yang Ye, Li Cungui really loathes it, and even wants to kill him.

"I am ordered to go south. If Li Shijun has cleared up his doubts, then I will leave!" Yang Ye said, not caring about Li Cungui's eyes at all.

Hearing this, Li Cungui shook his head hurriedly, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, why bother to walk at night. And stay in Xiurong City, rest overnight, and leave tomorrow! The mansion is not ready yet, tomorrow morning, I will hold a banquet to see you off !"

Saying that, he winked at the staff.The person understood: "I will arrange it immediately!"

Seeing his sneaky behavior, Yang Ye didn't seem to care about it, he just cupped his hands: "The kindness is hard to turn down, so thank you Li Shijun!"

Li Cungui said with a "hearty" smile: "It must be arranged well, Yang Tuanlian and Daizhou soldiers are both heroes of the great man!"

After dark, Li Cungui summoned his assistant: "Is there any change in Yang Ye?"

"The little one placed it on the side of the state government, and it was closely monitored by the state soldiers. There is nothing wrong with it!" said the staff member.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Yang Ye and his group. I always feel that something is wrong!" Li Cungui said.With a thoughtful face, Li Cungui didn't notice the strangeness that flashed in Muzuo's eyes.

After late at night, there was a sudden commotion in the defense mansion, which quickly subsided.Li Cungui woke up pleasantly from sleep, pushed away two delicate bodies on the couch, one left and one right, stood up and drew his sword.

Seeing Yang Ye who led someone into the room, Li Cungui's expression changed drastically.And beside Yang Ye, those who stood were his aides.
