Cui Changgong did not look at Wei Xu's body, but stood up, walked to the temple door, and looked outside. Seeing that the assassins were still around, he sneered and returned to the temple.

He knew in his heart that in this operation, Hu Yun led the team and Wei Xu assisted, but Hu Yun was killed by Qin Xiao in the battle just now. This may be something no one could have imagined. At the moment, Hu Yun and Wei Xu

They were all killed, and the assassins were now leaderless.

But this group of assassins were obviously unwilling to leave just now. Firstly, they were outnumbered and had some confidence. Secondly, they retreated in such a mess. If they failed to complete their mission, they would not be able to gain anything good if they went back.

Because of this, this group of assassins must be in a dilemma now.

"Commander, it seems that the governor's unconsciousness may be related to Huang Kui." Wu Quan said softly: "Huang Kui is going to rebel."

Cui Changgong looked solemn and thoughtful.

"Huang Kui's purpose is to control Youzhou." Suddenly Qin Xiao said calmly: "If nothing else happens, the governor's current situation may not be good."

Cui Changgong turned his head and said: "Little brother, what do you mean...?"

"Huang Kui wants to kill you, the reason is very simple. He wants to control Youzhou, and the first step is to control the Youzhou camp." Qin Xiao looked at Cui Changgong and asked: "Commander Cui, you seem to have a good relationship with the governor. I

It seems that you are very concerned about his safety."

Cui Changgong sighed: "To tell you the truth, little brother, I have known the Governor for more than 20 years. When I was in Xiling, I was already working under the Governor...!"

"Xiling?" Qin Xiao was shocked and said in astonishment: "Commander Cui has been in Xiling?"

Wu Quan couldn't help but said: "Little brother, do you know how to capture Khan on a snowy night?"

"I know." Qin Xiao vaguely guessed something and nodded hurriedly: "One hundred thousand Wutuo's cavalry marched eastward and entered the Kunlun Pass. The Xiling Guards fought bloody battles to resist the enemy, and finally retreated to Heiyang City. Wutuo's army besieged Heiyang City.

, the situation was critical. It snowed heavily that year, and General Black Feather led a surprise attack on the Wutuo Khan's tent at night with his thirty black-feathered night crows, and captured King Wutuo Khan alive. King Wutuo Khan promised not to have a single soldier in his lifetime.

Entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the entire army retreated, and only then did they save their lives."

Wu Quan smiled and said: "My little brother made it clear. It seems that he is really well-informed. Yes, General Black Feather was very powerful in the world back then, and both the governor and the commander were in Heiyang City that year.

Fight alongside General Kuroba."

Qin Xiao's body trembled and he looked at Cui Changgong.

When Cui Changgong heard the two mentioning the past, a look of pride appeared on his eyebrows. He nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, even though I was only in my early twenties, I fought alongside General Black Feather."

"But as far as I know, the guard army that resisted the Wutuo people was later conferred the title of Immortal Army by the saint, and followed General Heiyu to retreat to Yongzhou. After that, it was transferred to Woye Town and became the main force of the Woye Town army."

Qin Xiao asked doubtfully: "Could it be that Commander Cui and the Governor are both from the Changsheng Army?"

Cui Changgong nodded and said: "Yes, the governor and I were both members of the Changsheng Army, and both served under General Heiyu. After General Heiyu withdrew his troops from Xiling, he garrisoned in Yongzhou. Later, the Changsheng Army was transferred to Woye Town, and I and

Zhu Lang will stay in Yongzhou...

....!" and explained: "The governor's surname is Zhu. After the Battle of Xiling, the imperial court promoted him to General Lang."

"Understood." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "You stayed in Yongzhou and didn't follow to Woye Town?"

Cui Changgong said: "The situation in Yongzhou was quite complicated at that time. Although the Wutuo people withdrew their troops, they also blocked the trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. This also affected the people's livelihood in Yongzhou. In addition, Yongzhou suffered from drought for two consecutive years, and the food supply

In short supply, the ground in Yongzhou naturally gave birth to many people who rose up. Although many of them had no choice but to rise up, there were also rebels who were afraid of the world being in chaos. General Black Feather wanted to lead his army into Woye to strengthen the defense of Woye Town.

, so General Zhu Lang was left to lead Yongzhou’s local troops and bandits, and Cui also followed Zhu... um, served beside the governor."

"So that's it." When Qin Xiao learned that Cui Changgong was also from the Changsheng Army, he felt a sense of intimacy and said in a gentle tone: "Then how did General Zhu Lang and Commander Cui end up in Youzhou?"

Cui Changgong said: "The governor used Yongzhou to suppress and appeasement, and soon restored stability to Yongzhou, which made great contributions. In the following years, the imperial court dispatched the governor to many places to suppress rebellions, and he made outstanding achievements. He was transferred eight years ago

He arrived in Youzhou as the chief historian. Four years ago, the former governor of Youzhou returned to his hometown and there was a vacancy. According to common sense, the imperial court should have sent officials to fill the vacancies. However, the saint made a decree and directly appointed Zhu Changshi.

Candidate for the vacancy of the governor." After a pause, he said: "Youzhou is an important place in the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult for ordinary people to take on such a big responsibility. They must be versatile in both civil and military affairs. It is probably because the imperial court took this into consideration that they allowed the governor to take charge of Youzhou.

"

At this time, Qin Xiao understood the background of the governor of Youzhou. He never expected that they were from the Changsheng Army. He suddenly thought of what Zhuque had said before, claiming that he had captured Tantai Xuanye's life gate in Youzhou. He had been wondering and thinking.

He has nothing to do with Youzhou, so how can he have an influence on Youzhou? At this time, he already understood the reason.

Zhuque obviously knew the background of the governor of Youzhou very well, and Qin Xiao also had a close relationship with General Heiyu. In this way, the Changsheng Army became the link between Qin Xiao and the governor of Youzhou. Although the two had never met, because

The longevity army has a long history.

"I understand." Qin Xiao said: "I guess Commander Cui must have a close relationship with the governor. It turns out that you are old brothers who came out of the battlefield together, so it's no wonder. Commander Cui and Huang Kui are going to stay in You

Youzhou rebelled. He took control of the Yongping garrison and military power. It is not difficult to rebel in Yongping, but what he fears most is your Youzhou camp. If he wants to control Youzhou, the first step is to control

Yongping, if he wants to control Yongping, he must attack the governor, but he knows in his heart that you and the governor are brothers, and if he doesn't get rid of you, his plan will never succeed."

Cui Changgong frowned and said: "But what confidence does Huang Kui have to launch a rebellion? Although he nominally controls the military power of Youzhou, the military power of the Youzhou camp is not in his hands. He only has three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Yongping City.

The county soldiers did not have orders from the Ministry of War and the Governor, and Huang Kui was unable to mobilize a single soldier. Does he want to control Youzhou with the three thousand soldiers and horses in his hands? That is simply a fool's dream."

Wu Quan also spoke from the side: "Once he rebels, not to mention the Huaishuo town army in the north, our Youzhou camp alone will be enough to destroy him."

"There is Huaishuo Town in the north. Once there is a rebellion in the important town of Yongping, the imperial court will definitely order Huaishuo Town to help quell the rebellion." Cui Changgong said: "

In addition, Long Rui's army outside the pass has taken control of western Liaoning, and General Qin can enter the pass at any time to help quell the rebellion. In addition, our Youzhou camp has several troops working together to quell the rebellion, and Huang Kui cannot resist it at all.

He knows this better than anyone else, why would he do this even if he knew it was a dead end?"

Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed when he heard Cui Changgong suddenly mentioning him. He thought how Cui Changgong would feel if he knew that the general Qin he mentioned was close to him.

But what Cui Changgong said is true. If a rebellion really breaks out in Youzhou, Long Ruijun certainly cannot sit idly by.

Qin Xiao is now vigorously developing the Heishan Trading Center. The merchants from Youzhou and Jiangnan are currently providing the greatest support to the trading center. Moreover, Youzhou is the only way for caravans to go outside the customs, so Long Ruijun will never sit back and watch.

Chaos breaks out in Youzhou.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then asked: "Commander Cui, where are the troops stationed at the Youzhou Camp?"

"It's at the foot of Qingquan Ridge, less than fifty miles north of Yongping Mansion." Cui Changgong was very grateful to Qin Xiao for saving his life, but he also answered all questions.

Qin Xiao said: "In that case, why did you go to Zhuojun?"

"This also has something to do with Huang Kui." Cui Changgong frowned and said: "A few months ago, Zhuo County reported that a group of bandits attacked a county below Zhuo County. Although they caused few casualties, they still looted a lot of property.

After Huang Kui received the report, he ordered the Zhuojun County Lieutenant to lead troops to encircle and suppress him. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by bandits, killing and injuring dozens of people. The Zhuojun County Lieutenant was also seriously injured...!"

"Can we find out where those thieves came from?"

"We already have a clue. If nothing else happens, the leader is Wang Chao."

"Wangchao?" Qin Xiao felt that the name was very familiar. He suddenly remembered it and said in surprise: "Is it the Wangchao that caused trouble in Yuzhou the year before last?"

Cui Changgong nodded and said: "Exactly. Although Zhuojun County Lieutenant was attacked, he still led his people to arrest several people alive. They confessed that the leader was Wangchao who once caused great chaos in Runan County, Yuzhou. This person once gathered

Thousands of people captured several county towns. If the Yuzhou army hadn't wiped them out quickly, a big chaos almost broke out. However, although Xue Keke wiped out Wang Chao's bandits, killed two of Wang Chao's generals, and arrested

A ticket commander was escorted to Kyoto, but the bandit leader Wang Chao escaped, and there has been no news for two years. Who would have thought that this guy fled to Youzhou and actually caused chaos in Zhuo County."

Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that it was really strange for Wang Chao to wander from Yuzhou to Youzhou and suddenly show his whereabouts.

"The lieutenant of Zhuo County is injured, Wang Chao has to come out. If he is allowed to become powerful, the consequences will be disastrous." Cui Changgong said seriously: "So the governor summoned us to discuss. Huang Kui suggested that I lead a team of soldiers to go there.

Zhuojun, together with the local soldiers and horses in Zhuojun, killed the king's nest. I also agreed with this, so a month ago, I dispatched two thousand soldiers and horses from the Youzhou camp to go to Zhuojun to hunt down the king's nest. We found out

The bandits were on the move and launched an attack, but Wang Chao was very cunning and escaped in advance. However, his followers suffered heavy casualties and we captured many prisoners alive. We once again confirmed that the bandit leader was Wang Chao who caused trouble in Runan."

Qin Xiao thought for a while and finally asked: "Commander Cui, in your opinion, Wang Chao has disappeared for two years, but suddenly caused trouble in Zhuo County. Is this an accidental incident, or... is this someone?
