The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry

Liu Yi sighed, "When you left Chang'an, you warned me that Shangguan Jie and others might plan something big. You really see things from thousands of miles away..."

Zhang Kun agreed and said, "How does Liu Hou think we should act?"

Liu Yi thought for a while and then said, "We should remain unchanged in response to all changes... for the time being, we will just sit back and watch the storm!"

Zhang Huan frowned at this time and said, "Liu Hou, you think that we might not be able to sit still... The eldest princess of Eyi is very resentful towards my Yunyang Hou Mansion!"

"Recently, there are rumors that the Lord Gai wants to find a ranger, which is detrimental to our Yunyang Marquis Mansion..."

Liu Yi said with a smile, "It's just a clown who can defeat the master, so a gentleman doesn't need to worry..."

"Besides, Chang'an Rangers are mostly controlled by Sang Hongyang... Sang Hongyang is not an unwise person... He should know the consequences of going against my Yunyang Marquis Mansion..."

Zhang Huan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang and others will jump over the wall in a hurry... It's better to be cautious..."

When Liu Yi heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "What a gentleman says makes sense..."

Liu Yi thought for a moment and said, "In this case, the gentleman will not return to the Marquis Mansion for the time being. You can live in the orphan camp for a long time... If there are changes in Chang'an... you can wait for the opportunity!"

Zhang Huan heard this and said, "Good!" "But the orphan camp alone may not be enough to control the situation!"

Zhang Kun said at this time, "There are more than 300 elite cavalry in the two mansions. If used properly, they can influence the chaos..."

Liu Yi smiled and said, "It's not three hundred cavalry, but four hundred and thirty cavalry... There are also one hundred and thirty cavalry in the houses of Guohou, Hanhou and Zhaohou!"

Zhang Kun raised his palm and said, "This way you can sit back and relax!"

…

In Shangguan Jie's mansion, Shangguan Jie and others are planning secretly.

"Everyone, now the emperor has sent messengers from Xiuyi to investigate the matter between Lord Gai and King Yan... It may not be beneficial to us!"

Shangguan Jie secretly suppressed his dissatisfaction with the eldest princess of Eyi and described the current situation as calmly as possible.

At this time, the eldest princess of Eyi already understood that she had acted too hastily the day before when she directly submitted King Yan's memorial to the emperor without going through Shangguan Jie.

It was really her own fault that the emperor was suspicious of everyone. However, she did not think about apologizing to everyone, but was thinking about whether she should burn the boat.

After Shangguan An was punished by the emperor, he also became quiet during this period.

Hearing this, he stood up and said, "The situation is urgent. How can I just sit back and wait for death... I should just rise up and give it a try!"

Hearing this, Sang Hongyang asked: "Can the general control the army of the infantry school?"

Shangguan An patted his chest and said, "Not only the infantry commander, but also all the city gate troops listen to my orders!"

The eldest princess of Eyi said at this time, "Even so, the Northern Army is actually still in the hands of Huo Guang. With the mere infantry school captains and city gate soldiers, it may be difficult to accomplish anything!"

Sang Hongyang made some calculations and said: "What Mr. Gai said is true. The soldiers of the generals and generals plus a certain number of followers are less than 10,000, and they will never be able to fight against the Northern Army..."

Shangguan Jie's eyes flashed and he said, "If we can control the emperor and kill Huo Guang, we can lead the emperor to rule the world!"

The eldest princess of Eyi's eyes lit up, "What General Zuo said is true. He can also lure King Yan to the capital as the emperor..."

"Not only the King of Yan...the King of Qi, the King of Zhao, the King of Changsha, etc. are all dissatisfied with the emperor...they can all be used to help!"

Shangguan An agreed when he heard this, and then said, "Since Zhang Yue was assassinated, Huo Guang, the old fox, has become much more cautious. There are no less than a hundred people guarding him at any time!"

"If we want to take Huo Guang's life, assassination will probably not work. We will have to send a large army to surround and kill him!"

Shangguan Jie thought carefully and then said: "If we want to take Huo Guang's life, we can only rely on the Lord Gai!"

The eldest princess of Eyi was surprised when she heard this, "Rely on me?"

"I can't deal with that old fox Huo Guang!"

Although the eldest princess of E was resentful of Huo Guang, she also knew that she was no match for Huo Guang.

Shangguan Jie said with a smile, "It is precisely because of this that a certain class has a chance... Huo Guang has always despised Master Gai... and has the weakest defense against Master Gai..."

Sang Hongyang raised his palm and said: "What General Zuo said is true. You can entertain Huo Guang in the name of the Lord... and then take his life..."

"Once Huo Guang dies, the Northern Army and the three auxiliary troops will be leaderless and will inevitably fall into chaos..."

"Then General Caiguan led the infantry school captains into the palace... As long as the emperor is controlled, it will be a big deal!"

The eldest princess of Eyi was greatly moved when she heard this, "The emperor cannot stay for a long time. We should bring King Yan to the capital..."

At this point, she thought of what King Yan had said in the letter, and then said, "After the matter is completed, General Zuo will split the earth and become the king... Duke Sang will become the prime minister... Marquis Sang Le will become the general!"

Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang, and Shangguan An all smiled with satisfaction when they heard this.

Shangguan An said, "In this case, Lord Gai, please contact King Yan as soon as possible!"

The eldest princess of Eyi said, "Don't worry, Marquis Sang Le, my master will send a letter to King Yan tomorrow!"

At this time, Shangguan Jie said, "It will lead to long nights and many dreams. The execution of Huo Guang cannot be postponed, but should be carried out as soon as possible!"

The eldest princess of Eyi said, "Five days from now, I will host a banquet for Huo Guang. What do you think?"

Shangguan Jie said: "After five days... it will be very good!"

After some thought, Sang Hongyang asked, "What should I do if Huo Guang doesn't come to the banquet?"

Shangguan An tapped a few cases with his fingers.

"September is the time for autumn exercises. According to the usual practice, we should observe the troops in Shanglin Garden...

"If Huo Guang does not attend the banquet, the only choice is to dispatch the infantry captain's army to surround and kill him..."

Sang Hongyang was shocked when he heard this, "Shanglinyuan has more than just the infantry captain, there is also Yulin and the Yulin Orphan Camp..."

"Although Zhang Yue's son Zhang Huan is not the captain of the orphan camp, he basically controls the orphan camp..."

Shangguan An smiled contemptuously when he heard this, "That Zhang Huan is nothing more than a yellow-haired kid, and the orphan camp is not the orphan camp of the former emperor..."

"How can a mere few hundred people stand in the way of thousands of elite troops from our infantry school?"

Shangguan An's face showed pride at this time!

Sang Hongyang was not as optimistic as Shangguanan.

"If all the army is used to surround and kill Huo Guang, there may not be enough troops to control Chang'an!"

The eldest princess of Eyi smiled and said, "Doesn't the imperial censor still have thousands of heroes in his hands?"

Sang Hongyang said, "Although a mere ranger is a brave and ruthless person, how can he stand up to a large army?"

Shangguan Jie said at this time, "There is no need to fight against the army, just help the city gate army to control each gate!"

Shangguan An also added, "As long as we can hold on until the infantry school captains enter the city, great things will happen..."

Sang Hongyang thought about it and felt that what the three people said was quite reasonable, so he stopped questioning it.

After the discussion was completed, several people went back to their homes to prepare. Little did they know that their every move was being monitored by the Qianniu Guards.

What they planned was soon known to Liu Yi and Zhang Kun.

After Liu Yi and Zhang Kun discussed it, they did not directly inform Huo Guang of the matter, nor did they report it to the emperor.

Instead, they quietly sent people from the Qianniu Guard to contact Yancang, a close confidant of the Princess Eyi.

After some coercion and inducement, Yancang finally joined Qianniuwei and became a peripheral member of Qianniuwei.

After the eldest princess of Eyi returned home, she immediately sent people to act according to the plan.

The next day she sent someone to send a secret message to King Yan.

However, the banquet for Huo Guang did not go well. Huo Guang refused her invitation on the pretext that he was going to hold a major meeting of the Northern Army.

At this time, Foreigner Ding came up with an idea and said, "The end of August is the princess's birthday. I don't think Huo Guang will refuse!"

The eldest princess of E felt that what Ding said was quite reasonable.

After consulting Shangguan Jie and his son, they decided to postpone action until the end of August.

…

Liu Dan on the other side was extremely excited after receiving the letter, and immediately arranged for a special person to pass the information.

In his reply, he formally promised Shangguan Jie that he would break the earth and become the king after his deeds were completed.

At the same time, Sang Hongyang was also taking active actions.

Soon he contacted thousands of "heroes" and "errants" from various places, preparing to assist Shangguan An's army in the event of an uprising.

Just as a few people were busy preparing for the uprising, two major events happened.

Wang Mang, the right general who had just been appointed lieutenant by the emperor (this Wang Mang is not the other Wang Mang) died suddenly.

A few days later, Prime Minister Che Qianqiu suddenly fell ill.

Everyone believed that the great cause would be accomplished, and the eldest princess of Eyi also notified King Liu Dan of Yan to enter the capital in advance.

Liu Dan was overjoyed when he saw the letter and ordered his ministers to pack their bags and prepare to go to the palace to become emperor.

Unfortunately, what they don't know is that every move they make is under the control of Qian Niuwei.
