Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 247 Game within a game
Liu Chuan leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, seemingly taking a rest, but in fact his thoughts never stopped for a moment.

"If we can capture Ge Shuni, we will have achieved 30% of our goal. This man has been the chief of the military office for nearly ten years, and he knows everything about the military office of Jizhou Prefecture. His planning is much more thorough than those of us outsiders.

I can write the warrant to him, but it depends on his ability to handle it.

But why did he ask you to kill a city guard's staff adviser?"

Yang Qian was sitting opposite Liu Chuan. After hearing Liu Chuan's question, he said, "Ge Shu Ni means that if he wants to take down the city wall the day after tomorrow, in addition to gathering a group of guards, he also needs to pry open the upper system of the city guards and make them make mistakes in a hurry so that he can take over the city defense.

Otherwise, if Prince Yue really wanted to launch an attack, the city wall would have been controlled by their people that day, and if some tricks were not used, the chances of winning by force would be too slim.

It is said that this staff member is the first counselor of Zhao She, the brave general of the city guard army. Eighty percent of the military affairs are decided by this person. Without this person, the city guard army will fall into chaos in a short time. And with Zhao She's hot temper, without his most capable counselor, he is very likely to make mistakes in a hurry.

This will leave room for us to outsmart the city defenses later."

"Can a mere strategist have such a big impact?" Liu Chuan knew very little about the situation in the military, and now he could only listen to Ge Shuni's advice.

If what Ge Shuni said was true, then the strategist was indeed someone who must be killed.

Moreover, killing a counselor would not arouse the vigilance of Prince Yue as killing a brave man like Zhao She would, which would not lead to unnecessary and unpredictable new changes.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but if I don't give it a try, it would be a big loss if I fail."

"Then why do you have to do it yourself?" Liu Chuan was still a little worried. You know, Yang Qian is the backbone of the whole thing. If Yang Qian has an accident, then the rest of the work will be thrown away.

"Ge Shuni said that the strategist was not only heavily guarded, but also not an ordinary person. He should be a minor immortal master. But he hid himself very well, and few people in the city guards knew about it. But Ge Shuni got to know this secret from somewhere else.

So in order to ensure the kill, Goshuni meant that I should go there myself."

".Okay then. Yang Qian, be careful. If you find something wrong, don't be stubborn. Just go back and think about it. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, sir. Yang Qian won't fight to the death. If things are impossible, Yang Qian will retreat."

After a few simple words, Yang Qian bowed and left.

After nightfall, Yang Qian would sneak into the camp of the city guards in the city and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the strategist.

And Liu Chuan was destined to have another sleepless night.

After sending Yang Qian to the door of the study, Liu Chuan patted Yang Qian's arm, and then watched Yang Qian jump up and down and disappear outside the courtyard wall.

A smile also flashed across Liu Chuan's face.

A lucky general! This is indeed a lucky general!
If it weren't for Yang Qian's sudden actions, Liu Chuan still didn't know that Prince Yue's ambitions were so big. Before this, he only thought that Prince Yue was a ruthless prince who made Jizhou Prefecture his own breeding ground. He wanted to defeat this prince and at the same time make sure that the emperor had one less foreign prince who was a thorn in his side.

The prince can have one, but he must be in the imperial capital, under the emperor's nose. This has always been the emperor's wish, and it is also the reason why the temple has always supported Liu Chuan. And it is the main reason.

Now, Liu Chuan has found the breakthrough that he has been trying to find for these years, and it is so big. The day before yesterday, after learning that Prince Yue was secretly mining and refining weapons, and that he could almost be sure that he had committed the serious crime of privately hiring soldiers, Liu Chuan immediately sent the news to the imperial city in the form of a token. He also instructed the imperial city's inner guard Juan to report the urgent news here as well.

The reply was to ask Liu Chuan to keep a close eye on the matter and report any disturbances in a timely manner. But as Liu Chuan had expected, even if he drew troops from neighboring states, it would take at least half a month.

As for how to deploy troops specifically, Liu Chuan still didn't know.

Before the imperial army arrives, Liu Chuan has to figure out a way to defend Jizhou Prefecture on his own. It depends on how well he can hold on.

At the same time, in the Broken Mirror Lake Manor, Yue Wang Zhou Zhong was talking to his confidant about Liu Chuan.

But unlike those people in Jizhou Prefecture who were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, the atmosphere in this study was very relaxed.

"This Liu Chuan is really capable of making trouble. He has captured the spies we have deployed in Jizhou City over the years, which makes some things less convenient.

And they actually found out that the Wu family was the cause. Tsk tsk, Old Wen, do you think this is Liu Chuan's ability? Or is it that the Wu family's arrogant habits have exposed their true colors?"

"Your Majesty, weren't you attracted by the Wu family's vicious and rampant nature? The old and the young are all bad. Such people cannot gain power. Once they gain power, they will become lawless. It is only a matter of time before they reveal their true colors. You are right.

Liu Chuan has failed to live up to your expectations. He has been in Jizhou Prefecture for so many years but he can't even manage the government affairs properly. He can't even grasp the few loopholes you deliberately gave him. He is really stupid.

Liu Chuan has been so active recently that he seems to have come to his senses, but in fact, it was Yang Qian's arrival that caused all these changes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rely on Liu Chuan alone."

"Hahaha, Old Wen, if Mansion Master Liu heard what you said, he would probably be furious. However, no matter what, although the time is a bit rushed, fortunately, after so many years of preparation, there is no need to rush.

Liu Chuan has already sent the message, right?"

"Yes, sir. Three copies have been sent out. The first two were about the news of Huashen Sect, and the last one was about the weapons and private placement of soldiers.

However, the information returned from above is difficult to check. But judging from Liu Chuan's reaction, it should be as you asserted before: eliminate the immortal gate and mobilize troops nearby.

In this case, it will take at least a month for the troops to reach Jizhou Prefecture."

"What's Liu Chuan's next move?"

"In reply to your Highness, there is indeed a backup plan. However, due to Yang Qian's unpredictable cultivation, our people dare not approach him, so we cannot get any information when Yang Qian is present.

However, Yang Qian's actions against the Wu family were limited and he had no intention of digging deeper. He should be targeting the weapons and private equity soldiers. He would definitely think that you wanted to start a rebellion, and the next step would most likely be to the military office.

They must have targeted those middle-of-the-roaders that you deliberately left in the military office. If that's the case, there should be news coming back tonight."

Zhou Zhong smiled and said, "It won't make a difference. Let our people keep a closer eye on him. Although we need to leave some leeway for Liu Chuan, we can't let them do whatever they want and let it go beyond our control. We need to perform this scene well and not mess it up."
