Chapter 308 Action
All the way without saying a word, Zhao Hao turned around and bowed to Yun Qinghong when he reached the gate of the palace.

Yun Qinghong also returned a salute, and said in a low voice: "There are more than 80 dan of grain stored in the granary in the northern suburbs, the general must bring enough manpower, and go north immediately."

Zhao Hao was slightly taken aback.

Yun Qinghong smiled, and when he walked past him, he said in a low voice: "The salaries there are exclusively for court officials, and it's not far from the Imperial Guard's granary, where the Imperial Guard is now run by Tong Tong. Be responsible."

Zhao Hao understood in seconds, and subconsciously prepared to clasp his fists again. His gaze swept across the guard standing in front of the palace gate, and he put down his hand again, and only said softly, "Thank you."

With an imperial decree, he can forcibly evacuate the grain.

But it has to be fast and there are enough people. Otherwise, once the guards next to him tell Tong Guan, or Cai Xiang and the others find out, then the emperor may not be able to hold his position. Maybe he will make another decree to change to an empty granary. Move it, he won't be able to get the food.

After leaving the palace gate, Zhao Hao got on his horse and galloped towards the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

Duke Zhen followed behind and shouted, but seeing his son stop, he quickly got on his horse and chased after him.

Zhao Hao said so much, if he didn't know how big a mistake he made, he wouldn't be the Duke of Zhen Guo.

At this time, my heart was also anxious.

After the quick horse caught up with Zhao Hao, he said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

Their forces are in the border towns, and the Zhen Guo Gongfu in the capital has only five hundred guards. How can they grab 80 dans of food?
Zhao Hao glanced at him indifferently, and said, "What has father been doing these days?"

Even major matters such as military rations have been ignored!

Zhen Guogong blushed and murmured speechlessly.

"Father, let's take mother back to the border town as soon as possible. The army is short of rations and father is not around. The border army will be unstable." After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he stopped looking at Lord Zhen Guo, whipped his horsewhip, and sped up the speed while galloping. On the one hand, the opponent hurriedly gave an order.

Before reaching the Duke of Zhen's mansion, Zhao Hao turned his horse's head and ran away from an alley under the cover of several people behind him.

Lord Zhen Guo who followed behind was stunned for a moment, and had already entered the mansion surrounded by Lao Liu and others.

"Old Liu!" Lord Zhen Guo reined in his horse, and shouted at Old Liu with a serious face.

"My lord, it's about offending hundreds of thousands of brothers in the frontier army." After Lao Liu replied with a simple and honest smile, he shouted to the guards at the door: "The general's military order! Close all the gates of the house. Tonight, no matter what Anyone without a general token is not allowed to leave the mansion!"

Duke Zhen's face changed slightly, and he wanted to yell loudly, but Zhao Hao's eyes full of disappointment and grief appeared in his mind, and he couldn't utter the objection and anger.

Today's imperial decree is the last chance, if any news is leaked, the frontier army will be finished, and their Zhao family will be finished.

And now, he can't say that there are all reliable people in the mansion.

Putting his hands down, Lord Zhen said to the chief guards who followed him: "Listen to them, today, except for the people transferred by the major general, anyone else who wants to leave the mansion with an excuse, no matter who it is, will be killed without mercy." !"

The head of the guard responded, drew his long sword out of its sheath, and led the people to announce the order.

Lao Liu gave a salute to Lord Zhen Guo, ordered people to quickly guard the gate of the mansion, and then ran to the place where the guards gathered.

Generally, there is a limit for the number of guards with swords in a noble family. If it exceeds this limit, it will make people wonder whether they want to rebel and raise private soldiers.

The number of guards in the Duke's Mansion is 350, but the Duke of Zhen and the Duke of Rong are allowed to have [-] guards because of the franchise of the founding emperor.

Of course, Duke Zhen has far more than this number of guards in the border town, but in the Duke's mansion in the capital, there are usually only a few dozen guards.

Last year, Lord Zhen Guo and Zhao Hao returned to Beijing to rescue him, but in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, they only brought 500 people with them.

Among the 500 people, 400 were left behind, [-] were the personal bodyguards of Duke Zhen, and the other [-] were Zhao Hao's personal guards.

Later when Zhao Hao went south, those personal guards also went south, and they mobilized a corresponding number of personal guards from the border towns to supplement them.

Therefore, most of the guard barracks in the Duke of Zhen's mansion are Zhao Hao's direct line guards.

As soon as the message from Old Liu Dai arrived, those people packed up, took all their baggage and personal belongings, and waited for the time to leave the city.

While giving orders, Lao Liu asked someone about what happened in the mansion during this period.

After asking, he led dozens of people outside with his face covered in black.

It just so happened that Duke Zhen felt uneasy, so he walked to the gate of the main courtyard, and then turned to the guard camp to have a look, and met Lao Liu.

Looking at the clothes of Lao Liu and those people, Duke Zhen asked in a deep voice, "What is this for?"

Lao Liu was wearing the strong clothes that people in the Jianghu would wear, and the dozens of people who followed him also took off their military uniforms and changed into the clothes of ordinary people and even coolies.

Lao Liu clasped his fists at the Duke of Zhen and saluted, "The general ordered that my subordinates go meet after changing their clothes."

I don't know what to do.

Of course, in fact, I just know but never tell you!

Zhen Guogong was stunned for a moment, sighed, and stepped out of the way.

After Lao Liu and the others left in a hurry, they walked slowly towards the main courtyard.

As soon as I reached the gate of the main courtyard, I saw a servant girl rushing out, knelt down on the ground and said, "Help, Lord, help! This servant just wants to go out to buy some silk thread for my aunt, so the big brother at the door will To kill me!"

Lord Zhen frowned, looked at the main courtyard, and said coldly: "No one is allowed to leave the mansion today. Go back and serve your aunt. Close the door. If you dare to leave this courtyard, be careful."

The servant girl's face showed consternation, she raised her head to see Duke Zhen's face, she immediately lowered her head and said yes, and retreated.

After Lao Liu went out through the back door, the people he took with him scattered and went to different places.

After Lao Liu made sure that no one was following him, he rode his horse and headed for the south gate.

Outside the south gate, there is a military camp of Gyeonggi Youdaying.

The Gyeonggi Daying Army is the best-paid army except the Imperial Guards, and it is no more than the Imperial Guards guarding the imperial palace in the capital. They need to patrol and practice, and it is not easy to get promoted. The Gyeonggi Daying Army is usually fine at all.

Zuo Daying has been led by Rongguo Duke's Mansion, which is somewhat better.

That You Daying is simply a paradise where noble dudes can occupy the latrine without shitting.

He only knows how to fight cocks and dogs every day, and if he doesn't go to the military camp for a whole month, even if he goes, he will bring his subordinates to harm the people.

The generals above are all of this kind, and the soldiers below can also be imagined.

Those who have ambitions and don't want to live in vain and wait to die are treated as thorns and thrown into the worst place, doing the hardest and most tiring work.

This camp is the worst camp in Gyeonggi Right Camp.

A total of 800 people.

As early as half a year ago, Zhao Hao made an agreement with a few small lieutenants in this camp, and issued a transfer order in the Privy Council to transfer these people to the frontier army.

Because they were thorns, the people in You Daying wanted them to leave, so they signed the order early.

It's just that it hasn't been launched!
