Seeing Xu Guo's change of attitude, Zhang Meng became curious and wanted to take a closer look, but felt rude and couldn't help it.
"This is actually a handwritten letter from an official!"
Xu Guo was extremely shocked. He realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to neglect it. He read every word carefully, clearly seeing the cause and effect of the matter, as well as Zhao Yun's instructions to him.
After seeing this, Xu Guo felt very high-spirited and said proudly: "I didn't expect that Li Quan actually participated in Huzhou's rebellion. This is even better. I can kill him and use the authority of Zhengguo's judge."
Zhang Mengxian didn't know the reason, so he hurriedly asked Xu Guo. Knowing the reason, and knowing Zhao Yun's instructions to Xu Guo, Zhang Mengxian said: "Your Majesty, it is wise for the officials to take a clever approach. Your Majesty only needs to report on official business."
, it was easy to recruit Li Quan to establish the Si Yamen and then capture him.
As for Li Quan’s army, there is nothing to worry about. We have hundreds of thousands of horse troops, infantry troops, and officers and soldiers in Huaidong, which is enough to frighten Li Quan’s leaderless army.”
Zhang Mengxian was excited and envied Xu Guo very much. This was simply a feat falling from the sky. As long as Xu Guo followed Zhao Yun's method and captured Li Quan, it would be a great achievement. From now on, it would be a great success and he would be able to reach new heights.
.
Zhang Meng was excited first, and Xu Guo was also excited. He immediately ordered someone to report to Li Quan, and ordered Li Quan to report to the Production Department tomorrow. He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
Xu Guo didn't sleep all night, and Li Quan didn't sleep either.
Li Quan's residence is in the city of Chuzhou, and the administrative office is in the east of the city. Li Quan's residence is in the west of the city, and tens of thousands of his troops are stationed in a military camp thirty miles outside the city.
When Li Quan received a summons from Xu Guo, ordering him to go to the Zhizhi Department to report on military affairs tomorrow, Li Quan couldn't help but feel worried. After all, he had a guilty conscience. He was also worried that people would discover what happened in Huzhou. Now that Huzhou was defeated, he had to be even more careful.
.
"No, I have to go to the military camp quickly. It's not safe to live here."
Li Quanxin felt something and seemed to be aware of the danger. Just as he was about to go to the military camp, he was stopped by his wife Yang Miaozhen.
Yang Miaozhen advised: "Husband, if you don't go to see the envoy, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? Besides, my husband only agreed verbally with regard to Huzhou. There was no letter and no troops were sent. Even if the court knew about it, who would dare to do so easily?"
To provoke you?"
Li Quandao: "Madam, you don't know something. If Xianggong Shi was in the court, he would bully the weak and fear the strong, so no one would dare to marry him. But now that the officials are in charge of the government with their iron fist, even Xianggong Shi has been easily dealt with. Such officials
, it’s better to be careful.”
Yang Miaozhen smiled and said: "Then if your husband doesn't go to see the envoy, wouldn't he be guilty of a crime? And it's not known whether it's for Huzhou. Maybe it's for something else."
Li Quan was stunned.
Yang Miaozhen said again: "I see that Xu Guo is fatuous and incompetent, greedy for money and lustful. What should you fear from such people? Husband, you can rest assured. I will be in the military camp tomorrow. If your husband is detained, I will go directly into the city to rescue you."
.”
Li Quan felt it made sense, so he agreed.
The next day, Li Quan brought a large cart of property to visit Xu Guo.
What Li Quan didn't know was that Xu Guo had already deployed a dozen strong soldiers in the dark at this time. As long as Xu Guo gave the order, Li Quan could be captured.
Xu Guo accepted the gift list from Li Quan, which was all filled with gold, silver, jewelry and silk. This cart alone was worth tens of thousands of dollars.
"Hahaha,,,"
Xu Guo laughed and accepted the gift happily, but he couldn't help but look down upon Li Quan a little bit.
Then Xu Guo asked Li Quan about his official duties as usual, and Li Quan answered them one by one. Xu Guo was very satisfied and nodded from time to time while stroking his beard.
Just when Zhang Meng on the side first thought that Xu Guoguo would take the opportunity to capture Li Quan, Xu Guo allowed him to leave safely after Li Quan reported.
Zhang Meng was puzzled at first and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you arrest Li Quan and hold him accountable? Today is a good opportunity."
Xu Guo smiled and asked: "Do you know what kind of opera repertoire is the most attractive?"
"I don't know if I don't like going to the theater."
"Hahaha,, I am telling you that the scenes of swords, swords and galloping horses in opera are the most attractive. Now I and Li Quan are like a play. If it were so simple, it would be
If he arrests him, how can he show his authority? After that, he will report it to the court and let the officials know. How much credit is there for this neither salty nor indifferent process?"
The people who listened first to Zhang Meng were stunned and asked blankly: "Then,,, how do you plan to deal with it, Sir?"
Xu Guo looked like he was directing the country, and said calmly: "I will mobilize a hundred thousand soldiers and horses on the Huainan East Road to surround Li Quan and force him to surrender. If he dares to resist, I will tell him what is going on."
The army was defeated like a mountain."
Zhang Mengxian was dumbfounded on the spot and looked at Xu Guo in disbelief, thinking to himself, what are you thinking in your head?
Zhang Mengxian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the officials want you to outsmart them?"
Xu Guo waved his hand and said with a smile: "The official is in Lin'an. I don't know the situation here, so I naturally want to be safe, but I have a clear view of Li Quan. As for him, I can kill him easily. The official only wants to be safe."
Just wait for the good news."
Zhang Mengxian hurriedly advised: "No, sir, please don't be careless about Li Quan's affairs. You must take them seriously."
Xu Guo was displeased and said with a cold expression, "I have my own concerns about this matter, so you don't need to say anything."
After saying that, Xu Guo went to make arrangements calmly and mobilized the soldiers and horses stationed near Chuzhou, ready to besiege Li Quan's camp at any time.
However, it was said that Zhang Meng had a premonition of impending disaster, and on the pretext that he had some personal matters to deal with, he simply cleaned up and left the Manufacturing Department in a hurry, then left the city on horseback and fled.
There is no airtight wall in this world, especially Xu Guo's carelessness, and the subordinate officials were dissatisfied with him. Soon, the news that Xu Guo had begun to mobilize troops spread like wildfire, and was reported to a subordinate officer named Gou Mengyu.
knew.
Gou Mengyu was worried that Xu State would fail and she would be implicated by him, so she quietly found Li Quan and told Li Quan the news that Xu State was mobilizing troops.
When Li Quan heard this, he immediately became furious. He didn't expect that Xu Guo was really going to put himself to death. He had been lucky before, but now there is no way out.
The matter was too important to delay, so Li Quan found his wife Yang Miaozhen to discuss countermeasures.
Yang Miaozhen said: "The matter has come to this. It is impossible to get rid of this country. Husband, without further delay, you will lead a thousand soldiers into the city in the afternoon, leaving 300 people at the gate to meet me. You can take the rest."
After entering the army and setting up the headquarters, I then arrived with a large army. We occupied the city in one fell swoop, and then controlled the entire Chuzhou, becoming our own force and forcing the imperial court to make concessions."
