Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 241 Response
"Are you sure?!" Liu Chuan stood up from his chair and quickly took the account book and notebook handed over by Yang Qian. His face was uncertain.

"I dare not say that I am completely sure, but there is no doubt that the Wu family is deeply involved in the military. And behind the Wu family is Prince Yue. It seems that there is no need to say whether Prince Yue and the people of the Jizhou Prefecture Military Office are in cahoots.

The only thing missing is the specific situation of the Jizhou Prefecture Military Office and the City Guards."

Liu Chuan did not rush to speak, but carefully flipped through the account books and notes in his hand.

After a while, Liu Chuan spoke up, "This Wu family actually did so many things behind the scenes! Even if only half of these accounts are true, it would be enough to make nearly half of the officials in Jizhou Prefecture lose their heads!

Mines, pastures, leather shops, iron workshops, all these things were hidden under the buttocks of a carriage and horse business! Under the guise of the carriage and horse business to transport these things, they were freely traveling within the territory of Jizhou Prefecture.

He deserves to die!"

Furious, Liu Chuan walked back and forth in the government office quickly, and after a while he said, "According to your idea, you think that Prince Yue has been integrating the dark resources of all parts of Jizhou Prefecture through the Wu family, privately forging weapons and sending them to the city guards and the Jizhou Prefecture military office. He is colluding with the military office to plot rebellion.

Is that what you mean? "

Yang Qian nodded and said, "This is how I judged it."

"What about the banquet held by Prince Yue this time? What do you think? I forgot to tell you just now that Prince Yue is holding a banquet for the Colorful Cloud Festival this time, and it's not just me that is invited. All the prominent officials in Jizhou Prefecture are also invited.

And according to custom, during the Colorful Cloud Festival, yamen heads from all over the country would come to the city to celebrate. Some have even arrived. I have seen quite a few of them in the past two days.

So do you think it is possible for Prince Yue to invite the yamen masters from the prefecture city who are coming here as well?"

hiss!
Yang Qian subconsciously took a breath of cold air. If we think along the line of "rebellion", the idea of ​​Yue Wang holding a banquet at this time is almost self-evident!
"Sir, what should we do now?"

Liu Chuan also felt that it was very difficult. Although he was the governor of Jizhou Prefecture and held the power over the personnel of the prefecture, he had no way to directly confront the military office. Even if the other party wanted to rebel, he would still be in an extremely weak position and could lose his head in a blink of an eye.

The best thing to do now is to ask for help. Ask for help from the Imperial City!

But the problem is that although Liu Chuan has a way to quickly pass the news back to the imperial city, it will take more than a few days for the imperial city to respond and rush to Jizhou Prefecture. Even if he borrows troops from the neighboring prefectures, it will take at least half a month to set out, including the requisition of food and grass, and it will be almost the end of the month to resist Jizhou Prefecture.

If Prince Yue really planned a rebellion, then the opportunity would be lost.

But if he didn't ask for help, with the few troops Liu Chuan had in Jizhou Prefecture, it would be a pipe dream to defend the few houses of the government office, let alone resist.

Should we avoid its sharp edge?

This seems like a good idea, but can it be avoided?
Liu Chuan replaced himself with Yue Wang, and at this moment he had the help of the military office. The entire Jizhou city was like a cage. Want to escape? You might not even be able to get out of the city.

Moreover, even if Liu Chuan ran away because of this cowardly act before the battle, he would have to bear the consequences afterwards. Most likely, his family would be implicated and he would also have to bear the blame.

Even though Liu Chuan prided himself on being quick-witted and adaptable, it was still difficult to have a foolproof plan at this moment.

Yang Qian could see Liu Chuan's dilemma. He knew that Liu Chuan must have seen what King Yue wanted to do at this time, and it was too difficult to deal with it. In the face of absolute power, strategy can't affect the overall situation at all. In fact, it's not Liu Chuan's fault that he got into trouble. If Yang Qian was in the other party's position and the incident happened suddenly, he didn't know how to deal with it best.

But Yang Qian is not Liu Chuan. Although he does not know the rumors in the Gaoyuan temple, nor does he know what the emperor behind Liu Chuan’s attitude is towards the matter of Yue Wang in Jizhou Prefecture, his own strength allows him to see the situation clearly and make choices more flexibly. He will not be as entangled as Liu Chuan.

"Sir, in fact, as long as you have subordinates, you can also advance or retreat."

Liu Chuan paused and turned to look over, frowning and asking, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"I think we can retreat and use retreat as a means of advance. The idea of ​​Prince Yue now is probably to take advantage of the Colorful Cloud Festival Banquet to launch an attack. If he can get rid of most of the officials in Jizhou Prefecture at once, then he can quickly control the entire Jizhou Prefecture.

Now that we know what Prince Yue is planning, let's get out of the way. If you are worried about not being able to get out, I am willing to escort you along the mountain road to Qishuhai! What will Prince Yue do when we get there? "

Liu Chuan shook his head. It was not that he did not believe that Yang Qian could help him, but that he could not retreat.

"I can't retreat. Tell me how to advance?"

Yang Qian was a little surprised when he heard this. He felt that the best option at this time was to retreat. But Liu Chuan said that he couldn't retreat, so he must have a reason.

Yang Qian then said, "If we can't retreat, we can only advance and take the initiative! Before Prince Yue launches an attack, we must take control of Jizhou City first!"

Liu Chuan was stunned. However, the cloudy and confused look in his eyes was gradually awakened by Yang Qian's last words, and a series of responses and ideas began to flow out of his mind.

It seemed that it was almost impossible to control Jizhou Prefecture before Prince Yue took action. The problem was still the "power disparity". However, there were two points that could not be ignored.

First, King Yue did not know that his actions had been predicted.

Secondly, even in the military office, not all the leaders are loyal to Prince Yue. There are still many neutral people or those who are unwilling to go along with the crowd. Although these people are weak in the army, if they can be used well, they may be able to influence the outcome.

Finally, there is one more point. Because of Yang Qian, a group of people who should not have appeared in Jizhou Prefecture are now unexpectedly stranded here. They are the small battalion of the Imperial City Inner Guards who came to receive Yang Qian's storage bags. There are a total of 30 people, and they are all powerful people at the level of Little Immortal Masters!
Of course, there is also Yang Qian, whom Liu Chuan now regards as a "lucky general".

Do it when you think of it!

Liu Chuan immediately walked back to the table and took out a list from the drawer. After unfolding it, there were no less than a hundred people on the list.

"This is a list of all officials with the rank of Langguan and above in Jizhou Prefecture. I will tick the names on it, and you must find a way to take down all the people I tick!"

"Sir, who are these people?" Yang Qian looked carefully and curiously. Soon he saw a familiar name, Zhou Yiming. He began to have some guesses.

"These people are all confirmed to have a deep relationship with Prince Yue. Without these people, even if Prince Yue really wants to make trouble, the government office will not be in chaos for the time being."

After a pause, Liu Chuan continued: "As for the military office, you still need to go there in person..."
