Chapter 55: Visitors from afar

After Yuan Junbao returned to Shenwu Camp, he began to instigate a rebellion against Lonely Huai'en. Unexpectedly, Lonely Huai'en had already had this intention. The two liked each other, hit it off, and started discussing rebellion against the Tang Dynasty. Not long ago, Yuan Junbao sent an army

A famous confidant went to Liu Wuzhou and reported the situation of Lonely Huaien to Liu Wuzhou. This time, Liu Wuzhou sent Yang Zhong and Sun Dazhi to Chang'an with the purpose of accelerating Lonely Huaien's rebellion.

Yuan Junbao looked at Yang Zhong and said: "General Yang, you guys have a rest first and have a sip of tea. I will take you to see Lonely Huai'en later." Yang Zhong stood up and said: "I won't drink the tea anymore.

It's not too late, let's go there quickly." Upon hearing this, Yuan Junbao had to stand up, walked out of the hall, and ordered his servants to hitch the carriage.

After a while, the carriage was hitched, and the three people got on the carriage. The coachman drove the carriage out of the gate. The carriage drove for about a cup of tea and stopped in front of the gate of a mansion. The coachman got out and knocked on the door. Because Yuan Yuan

Junbao was a frequent visitor here, and the servant asked no questions before letting the carriage drive into the courtyard. The carriage stopped in front of the hall, and the three people got out of the carriage. Yuan Junbao led them through the front hall and straight to the back.

Hall.

Yang Zhong and Sun Dazhi walked in and took a look. The back hall was very spacious and the decoration was very elegant. The furniture was made of precious wood. There was a row of antique shelves installed against the wall on the right, with many exquisite utensils placed on them.

There were two men in the room, and Yuan Junbao introduced them. One was Lonely Huai'en, and the other, in his thirties, was Right Guard General Xie Rong. Like Yuan Junbao, Xie Rong was also Lonely Huai'en.

En's confidant.

Lonely Huai'en grew up in the palace. He did not make friends with upright and benevolent people, nor did he learn from his uncle Yang Jian's spirit of hard work. Instead, he made friends with some treacherous villains, became more and more greedy, and formed a domineering and domineering character.

, has a arrogant and ambitious character. He developed a rebellious heart about a year ago, when Li Yuan had just ascended the throne. Once at a state banquet, Li Yuan got drunk and said to him with a smile

: "Your aunt's two sons have become emperors, now it's my uncle's son's turn, right?" The "your aunt's two sons" Li Yuan refers to, of course, refers to himself and Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.

Li Yuan said this just as a joke, but Lonely Huaien became furious after hearing this, thinking that Li Yuan was mocking him. He thought, are only women in the Lonely family noble? From then on, the idea of ​​​​grabbing grew in his heart.

Big thoughts.

Lonely Huai'en exchanged greetings with the two guests, and then sat down separately. The servant came in and served tea. After the servant left, Yang Zhong said: "General, the emperor already knows your thoughts, so,

The two of us were specially sent to Chang'an to discuss the matter of uniting the two families to jointly fight against the Tang Dynasty."

Lonely Huai'en nodded and said with a smile: "If our two families unite, great things will happen!" Yuan Junbao took the opportunity to instigate: "My lord, Li Yuan transferred all his troops and horses to Li Shimin. Chang'an City is very empty, and Li Shimin's

The troops are all in Huayin County, three hundred miles away, so now is a good time to take action."

"Yes, General," Yang Zhong said, "The emperor has said that if you attack Chang'an, he will send Song Jingang to attack Li Shimin so that he cannot return to help Chang'an."

When Xie Rong heard this, he was also moved, and thought about Lonely: "Lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it!" Lonely Wynn pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance, let me think about it carefully.

, weigh the pros and cons.”

"General..." Yang Zhong wanted to say something else. Lonely Wynn waved his hand, then picked up the tea cup and said: "Come, drink tea, drink tea." He was about to see off guests. Yang Zhong and Sun Dazhi were together.

Seeing him, I had to stand up and say goodbye.

Yuan Junbao accompanied the two of them out of the back hall and came to the front hall. Yang Zhong looked at him and said: "General Yuan, what should we do?" Yuan Junbao pondered for a moment and said: "Lonely Huai'en has not made up his mind yet.

"Let's do this. You go back to the inn and wait, and I will try to persuade him." Yang Zhong sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way."

The three people walked out of the house and came to the carriage. Yuan Junbao ordered the coachman to take the guests back to the inn. After the carriage drove out of the gate, Yuan Junbao returned to the back hall. After sitting down, he said to Lonely Huaien: "Master, you

Do you really not want to attack Chang'an?" Lonely Wynn shook his head.

, said: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. Although Chang'an is only guarded by more than 2,000 soldiers, there are still 20,000 Shence troops guarding the imperial city. This does not include the guards of the Prince's Palace and the Prince's Palace, and we only have six

With seven thousand troops, what chance do we have of winning against them?"

Yuan Junbao said: "As long as we capture Chang'an City, we can open the weapons depot, release the slaves in the money shops and workshops, and the prisoners in the prison, arm them and form an army, and we can get at least 10,000 people."

"Lonely Wynn shook his head after hearing this and said:

"Don't forget, King Yong'an Li Xiaoji's 'Xiaoji Camp' is stationed in Lantian County. His troops are no less than ours. If we attack Chang'an City, he will definitely attack us from behind. By then, we will

We will be attacked from both sides, and the risk is too great."

"What should we do?"

"Let's take a long-term view and wait and see what happens."



It was already dark when Yuan Junbao came back from Lonely Wynn's mansion. He put on soft and loose silk clothes and came to the back house. As soon as he walked into the moon gate, he happened to meet his wife. When she saw him, she quickly saluted

He said: "Husband, have you eaten the food?"

"not yet."

"Then let's use it in my concubine's room?"

Yuan Junbao waved his hand casually and said: "No, I have something else to do." After saying that, he turned and walked away. There are four main houses in the backyard, the two on the left are his wife's houses, and the two on the right are where Yuan Junbao lives.

I just married a concubine a few months ago. When my wife saw Yuan Junbao walking into the concubine's house, she closed the door and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

After the wife returned to her room, she ate a few mouthfuls, tidied up, and prepared to go to bed. Before going to bed, she first went to the toilet. When she came back from the toilet, she passed by the concubine's window and heard something inside.

The laughter of a man and a woman came out. The lights in the house flickered, and the two figures were reflected on the window paper. I heard the concubine whispering sweetly: "Husband, didn't you promise to let me live a rich life?"

"Don't worry, Lonely Wynn will be the emperor soon. He promised me to make me king. When the time comes, I will make you queen."

"You have to keep your word..."

Listening to the happy laughter of the man and woman, the wife felt as if a jealous bottle had been knocked over. She quietly took a sip, turned around and walked away...

After Yang Zhong and Sun Dazhi returned to the inn, they waited patiently. On this day, they were bored in the room, so they wanted to go downstairs for a walk. In addition to the wooden building, the King of Chu Inn also had a courtyard behind it.

On the left side of the main entrance hall is a staircase, and on the right is a door leading to the backyard. The other three sides of the backyard are surrounded by three bungalows. The rooms in the bungalows have been renovated and are now guest rooms.

The backyard is quite large. It used to be the back garden of a wealthy family. It has a flower pond, a corridor, a pavilion, and many sweet-scented osmanthus trees. The two of them walked along the corridor for a while, and then walked into a hexagonal pavilion.

He sat down. Sun Dazhi frowned and said, "Master, there is no news from Yuan Junbao yet. There is no way we can keep waiting like this." Yang Zhong glanced around.

, whispered: "Calm down, our mission this time is important, we must be patient." Sun Dazhi was silent for a while, and then said: "I think that Lonely Huai'en is very ambitious and wants to be the emperor himself, but he won't

He surrendered to us." Yang Zhong laughed ferociously and said, "It doesn't matter whether he surrenders to us or not. As long as there is civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, we can take the opportunity to seize Chang'an..."

The two of them were muttering in a low voice. At the door of the inn, Li Zhiyun came in with Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu. The innkeeper happened to come down from upstairs. When he saw them, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and said, "Your Majesty, come here."

Really?" Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "I happened to be passing by here, so I stopped by to take a look."

"Do you want to see the account books, Your Majesty?"

"No need, tell me what is the recent room occupancy rate?"

"In the past three months, it has reached 85%."

After hearing this, Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "Not bad." The shopkeeper continued: "Your Majesty, would you like to go upstairs and have a look?" Li Zhiyun glanced at the stairs and said, "We are not going upstairs, so we will go to the backyard to take a look.

Let's see." A few people came to the backyard and walked a dozen steps along the gravel path. Two guests came towards them. The one in front glanced at them and walked sideways past them.

After Li Zhiyun walked a few steps, he glanced back and said to himself: "These two people look very familiar. It seems they have met somewhere." The shopkeeper said: "They have been staying here for five or six days, and they asked me about their left.

It is the residence of General Wei Yuan Junbao."

Yuan Junbao? Li Zhiyun thought about it carefully and remembered that he had seen this person in his eldest brother's east palace not long ago. He was a subordinate of his cousin Lonely Huai'en.

"Oh? Are they looking for Yuan Junbao?"

"Probably so."

Li Zhiyun shook his head and said: "These two people look very friendly, but I just can't remember where I met them." Zhang Zheng, who was following him, said: "Your Majesty, why did you forget? Last time we were there

I met them on the street. The short man was hit by a carriage, and you still want to take them to the doctor." After hearing this, Li Zhiyun finally remembered and said with a smile: "Zhang Zheng, you have a good memory."

"It's not that I have a good memory, it's just that the accent they spoke is very familiar to me, so I have an impression."

"Oh, can you hear their accents?"

Zhang Zheng nodded and said: "They are from Mayi. I have an uncle who lives in Mayi. I grew up in my uncle's house, so I am very familiar with the accent of the people in that area."
