Chunyu Bu waited in Guangning City for two full days, and his patience was exhausted.

"General Lang, they are avoiding you on purpose." Seeing Chun Yubu's ugly face, an accompanying captain couldn't help but cautiously said: "That Huo Mianzhi must have defected to Long Rui's army. They are deliberately avoiding you because they hope that Yu

The situation over there has changed due to lack of food, and their intentions are extremely sinister."

Chunyu Bu sneered: "Huo Mianzhi is seeking his own death."

"But if there is a real change in Yuguan, the consequences will be disastrous." The captain worried: "General Lang is in Guangning, and Captain Zhou is imprisoned by Qin Xiao. If there is a mutiny in Yuguan now, General Lang will not be in the pass, and there will be no one."

I can hold it in check."

Chunyu Bu clenched his fists.

"Once there is a change over there, Long Ruijun will definitely not miss the opportunity." The captain gritted his teeth and said: "They will definitely use the banner of quelling the rebellion and send troops to attack Yuguan. Youzhou will definitely also attack Yuguan.

It means being attacked from both sides, with disastrous consequences.”

Although Chunyu Bu knew that the situation was serious before, he really didn't think about it. However, after spending two days in Guangning City, Qin Xiao and Huo Mianzhi avoided seeing him. He knew that he had fallen into a terrifying trap.

But knowing that he was in a desperate situation, he was unable to fight back.

"What do you think we should do?" Chunyu Bu was silent for a long time and finally asked.

Several subordinates looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything. After all, there is really no good way to deal with the situation so far.

"It's useless for me to rush back now." Chunyu Bu said with a bitter smile: "The brothers have no food to eat, so they all count on me to bring them food and grass. I didn't go back, but they still have hope and hope that I can bring them food and grass.

If we go back empty-handed, the brothers will immediately become desperate, and even if I am at the pass, I will not be able to prevent the situation from deteriorating."

"The general thought that sending food and grass once every two months was a huge risk." The captain couldn't help but said: "The Duhufu is worried that the pass will not be controlled, so we have never been allowed to have excess inventory. If there is no safety,

It's a good thing. Once there is a delay in food and grass, it will be a big trouble. Now Long Ruijun has taken advantage of the weakness and colluded with Huo Mianzhi to delay the food and grass. This is to kill us. The only one to blame is the people in the Duhufu.

....!" Although he was angry in his heart, he did not dare to say any more.

Chunyu Bu's face turned ugly and he said coldly: "There is no use in saying this now." He gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Xiao, this bastard, is really insidious and cunning. I will skin him sooner or later." But he knew in his heart that he could do it.

It's hard to say that you can't peel off Qin Xiao's skin. Qin Xiao really peeled off a layer of his own skin this time.

"General, General...!" Chunyu Bu was at a loss and was extremely annoyed. He heard rapid footsteps coming from outside, and then he saw a person crawling in, panting: "Song...

..Master Song has entered the city...!”

Chunyu Bu naturally recognized this as a junior military commander under his command.

When entering the city, only about ten of the two hundred cavalry who followed him to Guangning were allowed to enter the city. The others all stayed outside the city to wait. Fortunately, tents and dry food were sent to the city, so that the Yuguan cavalry would not be allowed to enter the city.

Starving outside.

This military commander was also stranded outside the city, but suddenly appeared in front of him. Chunyu Bu was really surprised. He didn't react for a moment and asked: "Master Song? Which Master Song?"

"Master Song Qingyuan of the Governor's Mansion." The military commander gasped: "He has brought people into the city and is now heading to the Governor's Mansion."

Chunyu Bu stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "Is it Mr. Song Qingyuan, the deputy governor?"

The Andong Protectorate was established during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, and took charge of the four northeastern counties. The highest officer was naturally the Protector, and under him there was a Deputy Protector, as well as Chief Shi and Sima.

The Protector-in-Chief was in charge of military and political affairs, the Chief Shi was in charge of military affairs, Sima was in charge of government affairs, and the Deputy Protector-in-Chief was in charge of judicial and criminal law. In fact, the Deputy Protector-General in each Protector-General's Office in the Tang Dynasty all had the false title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

When Chunyu Buzheng was at a loss what to do, he suddenly heard that Song Qingyuan, who was in charge of judicial punishment, had arrived. No doubt the drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw, and he was overjoyed.

"Commander Lu of the Protectorate Palace led 300 elite soldiers of the Protectorate Palace to protect Lord Song." The military commander said: "Master Song met us outside the city. After understanding the situation, he ordered the younger ones to follow him into the city. After entering the city, Lord Song went directly

I went to the Sheriff's Mansion and told the young man to tell General Lang that if it is convenient, he could go to the Sheriff's Mansion as soon as possible to explain the situation."

Chunyu Bu and his men were all very happy.

He was already in a desperate situation, but unexpectedly, Song Qingyuan arrived in time at this juncture.

It is true that he cannot fight Qin Xiao with his own strength, but with the addition of Song Qingyuan, the situation will be completely different.

Not only did Song Qingyuan arrive, the Duhu Mansion even sent Commander Lu and brought 300 elite troops. This was certainly exciting news.

He was naturally very familiar with Commander Lu. They all came from the Liaodong Army. Commander Lu's name was Lu Changhe. He was also a strong general in the Liaodong Army. He was not only brave but also loyal to Wang Xingchao. Because of this, he was recruited by Liaodong.

The army was pushed to the position of commander of the protective army.

The Yuguan Army can only guard Yuguan, while the Liaodong Army is the imperial army stationed in the northeast. According to the military law of the Tang Dynasty, without the transfer orders of the Ministry of War and the Beiyuan, not only can troops and horses be mobilized without authorization, but the Duhufu Guards are directly under the control of the Duhufu

Temperance means obeying the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. In the four northeastern counties, as long as there is a military order from the Commander-in-Chief, he can be mobilized to any place in the four Northeast counties.

Chunyu Bu suddenly felt confident and led his men to the county governor's mansion at high speed. Long Rui's army had taken over the defense of the county governor's mansion before, but at this moment Chunyu Bu had already seen the capital guards taking over the county governor's mansion, and Long Rui's army was nowhere to be seen.

I was even more excited at the sight of him, thinking that Mr. Song was indeed very resolute. As soon as he arrived here, he immediately drove Long Rui's army away from the governor's mansion.

Song Qingyuan was over fifty years old and had been in charge of judicial and criminal law for many years. He had a sinister and majestic air about him. When Chun Yubu saw Song Qingyuan, he was like a wronged child seeing his parents. He felt that he had finally found a source of support to resolve his grievances. After seeing him,

Song Qingyuan invited Chun Yubu to sit down and said straight to the point: "The Governor learned that a major silver robbery case occurred in western Liaoning, and Qiao Mingshui, the lieutenant of Liaoxi County, was involved in it, so he sent his own officer to investigate the case thoroughly. But outside the city, General Tinglang

People say that while I was on my way to western Liaoning, another major case occurred, and was it related to General Lang?"

Chunyu Bu looked around and saw that Song Qingyuan had already said: "It doesn't matter what you say, I have ordered Commander Lu to take over the defense of the Governor's Mansion, and the people of Long Rui's army have already evacuated." He sneered and said: "The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion

The horses have arrived, there is no reason for them to stay here."

"Sir, this is a conspiracy." Chunyu Bu couldn't bear it any longer and reported the whole story in detail, from the blockade of Yingzui Gorge by Long Rui's army, which led to the blockage of grain roads, to the unknown whereabouts of Huo Mian after entering the city.

There is nothing to hide.

Song Qingyuan stroked his beard and said nothing, thinking thoughtfully. After a while, he said: "Do you think this is all a careful plan by Long Ruijun?"

"The general couldn't figure it out at first." Chun Yubu was the guard general of Yuguan, and the troops and horses of Yuguan were nominally under the control of the Duhufu. Although Song Qingyuan was in charge of judicial and criminal law and not in charge of military power, he was still under the control of the Duhufu.

The second in command was naturally Chunyu Bu's superior. Chunyu Bu was quite respectful to Song Qingyuan and said softly: "But now the cause and effect of this matter have been clarified."

"The grain truck conceals ordnance. It's a big deal. Why didn't you check it yourself when you handed it over?" Song Qingyuan frowned. He was in charge of criminal law. He could immediately see the most unfavorable aspect of this case for Chun Yubu and said in a deep voice:

"When the ordnance was discovered, it was after you received it. It can be said that they found the hidden ordnance in your hands."

Chunyu Bu said with a gloomy face: "My lord, this is where Qin Xiao is vicious. Blocking Yingzui Gorge and delaying the supply of grain and grass are all carefully designed by them, with the purpose of killing two birds with one stone."

"how to say?"

"The food and grass have been delayed in arriving, and the guards at the gate have no food to use, so it is very likely to cause a mutiny." Chunyu Bu's eyes were like knives: "This is their first purpose, to use the food and grass to cause the Yuguan mutiny, and then they can suppress the rebellion.

Under the banner, attack Yuguan and take Yuguan from our hands."

Song Qingyuan nodded slightly, and Chunyu Bu continued: "The second purpose is to create an ordnance case. The food and grass at the pass have not been arriving for a long time. The general sent the captain Zhou Fan, but they found a reason to detain him. As a result, the general

They had to go to Yingzui Gorge to deal with the matter in person. They expected that Mo would definitely rush to Yingzui Gorge in person. They even expected that Mo would be eager to transport grain and grass to Yuguan, so they would directly hand over to the officials of Hucao at Yingzui Gorge.

Grain and fodder, and they have long hidden ordnance in the grain carts to use it to trap the generals."

"You mean they didn't expect you to inspect the grain trucks?"

"Yes!" Chunyu Bu nodded and said: "The grain and grass transported to Yuguan totaled 1,500 shi, and the transportation vehicles were more than a hundred. If this grain team arrives at Yuguan, the handover will naturally be carried out one by one.

Check carefully and check carefully. But at that time, the grain team was in the Yingzui Gorge, and hundreds of Long Rui Army soldiers and horses were watching eagerly. It was impossible for the general to send people to move all the grain from the car for inspection. They expected that this would be the case.

The general was also plotted by them and indeed fell into their trap."

Song Qingyuan thought for a moment and then said: "Who do you think was responsible for hiding the knives in the food? Did Long Ruijun find an opportunity to secretly hide the ordnance in the car, or were those ordnances done by someone from Hucao in Liaoxi?"

"The general is not sure." Chunyu Bu said solemnly: "However, based on the general's guess, besides Qin Xiao, Huo Mianzhi is probably the mastermind behind the scenes. Tian Shichao is Huo Mianzhi's man, and the grain team is led by Tian
