Chapter 279: Lord Franc and Lord Meng Lang (two in one)
"...You go to various places in Chang'an, disguise yourself, and carefully spread this news!
Remember, you must be careful not to get caught and expose your flaws..."
Here in Tongguan, Lu Bu gave careful instructions to some people...
…
The night sky is deep and studded with bright stars.
The stars all over the sky are shining like gems all over the sky.
Starlight filled the sky, and in the dead of night, some vague figures quietly went out from the Dazhai behind Tongguan, and then blended into the night and disappeared.
In Tongguan, Lu Bu, who had not slept until now, clenched his fists!!
His eyes looked cold and his face turned ferocious...
Time passed quietly and the next day came.
It's not quiet here in Tongguan.
A large number of troops and horses are being integrated and mobilized to prepare for the upcoming expedition.
Lu Bu personally went to Chang'an, but there was no progress in what he wanted to do.
Even if he was very angry with Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng because of this, after he came back, he could only mobilize his troops and horses according to Dong Zhuo's order.
Get the Gao Shun and Cheng Lian tribes ready to set off from Tongguan.
Prepare to go to Fufeng County and wait for deployment.
Lu Bu, who came back from Chang'an yesterday with a very ugly face, now looks much better.
Although there is no smile, at least it is not that ugly.
When there is no one around, Lu Bu can't help but look at Chang'an, hoping that the things he arranges will happen quickly and produce results.
Pull down Liu Cheng from that position and let him serve as the governor of Sichuan!
He felt that with his arrangements, there was a high chance of success in pulling Liu Cheng out of this position this time!
Moreover, it is very likely that Dong Zhuo will have a thorn in Liu Cheng's heart from now on.
Let Dong Zhuo no longer trust Liu Cheng like that!
It was at this time that a large number of soldiers and horses came from outside Tongguan.
These soldiers and horses are under the banner of Liu Cheng.
The leader was a man with a full beard and a three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand.
Even sitting on the horse, you can see that this person is extremely tall!
This person is no one else, but Liu Cheng's subordinate Hua Xiong.
In addition to Hua Xiong, there are also two generals, Li Su and Liao Hua, in the team.
The three of them led a total of 25,000 troops.
After receiving Liu Cheng's transfer order, they packed up their troops and hurried to Fufeng County to reunite with Liu Cheng.
Then they followed their uncle Liu to conquer Yizhou!
Hua Xiong, Li Su, Liao Hua, and the troops and horses they commanded all had high morale.
It had been a while since they had fought for military glory.
Now the emperor's uncle has made new moves.
Thinking back on the achievements of the emperor's uncle, as well as the many military achievements obtained by fighting with the emperor's uncle in the past, it would be strange if these proud soldiers did not have high morale!
After all, their trip was not to fight at all, but to collect wealth and military glory!
Xu Huang and Li Jin were nowhere to be seen in the team.
These two men were left behind by Liu Cheng to command the remaining troops and continue to garrison and defend Mianchi.
That was his nail in the vast Luoyang area, and it was also the first front to the east in the Guanzhong area. It was impossible for him to abandon it.
Moreover, there are more than 10,000 people there, as well as more than ten civilian and military villages, large and small, which have opened up a lot of cultivated land and planted a lot of food.
Liu Cheng's order to Xu Huang and Li Jin was that Xu Huang should be the leader and Li Jin should be the assistant.
Xu Huang was more famous than Li Jin in history. After these years of contact and observation, Liu Cheng also determined that Xu Huang was better than Li Jin in using troops to fight.
At least in terms of strategic vision, he is stronger than Li Jin.
Therefore, Liu Chenggong asked Xu Huang to take over as the chief general and stay in Mianchi.
Li Jin is the deputy and assists in guarding.
He was not afraid of Li Jin's inner disobedience.
Not to mention that he would not be vague about this because he was worried that Li Jin would be unhappy.
This is what he gained from his personal experience at Sishui Pass.
Moreover, in order to prevent Li Jin from feeling uncomfortable, Liu Cheng personally wrote a letter explaining it specifically to Li Jin.
If Li Jin still feels uncomfortable under such circumstances, then it can only be because of discomfort...
"A large number of Liu Cheng's troops are going to enter the pass?"
After Lu Bu got the news, he thought for a while, then took his Fangtian Painted Halberd and went up to the Tongguan Pass Wall.
Standing on it and looking eastward, I saw a large number of soldiers and horses parked in front of the pass.
"This is the document sent from below."
Wei Yue came over and handed the document in his hand to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took it and looked at it. It had Liu Cheng's seal and Dong Zhuo's seal on it.
"Open the door and let them in!"
After a while, Lu Bu spoke up.
Even though Lu Bu was angry, he didn't dare to block this matter.
Things are different from things.
Of course, there is another reason, which is that he has great ability. After a while, he may lead these soldiers and horses to fight in Yizhou!
Under such circumstances, Lu Bu would certainly not stop him randomly.
Standing on Tongguan, I watched these headquarters belonging to Liu Cheng passing by in order and with high morale.
Even though Lu Bu was very angry with Liu Cheng, he had to admit that Liu Cheng was indeed very good at leading troops!
The army formed four columns and passed under Tongguan one after another. It took more than half an hour to completely pass.
Lu Bu, who was above Tongguan, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Liu Cheng's troops who were gradually walking away...
…
After Wang Gui got up, he rubbed his eyes and came to a big chun tree not too far away. He unfastened his belt and put the fertilizer he had accumulated all night against the big chun tree.
After a long and flushed overnight urine, Wang Gui felt comfortable and his body shivered a few times.
At this time, the whole person was completely awake.
Then, his eyes were attracted by a note taped to the big tree.
There was something written on the note, but Wang Gui didn't know what it was.
After studying the note for a while, he looked at the villagers not far away who were getting up to work. He looked at it for a while and shouted: "Mr. Farang! Come and see what is written on it."
What is it?
Is there any new policy issued by the government?"
Wang Gui's voice attracted many people, and at the same time, he also called Mr. Fa Lang over.
This farang is not very old, only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
The hair has been tied up.
Looking at his face, you can basically tell that he most likely left his job early to do something.
Mr. Fa Lang is a literate person. Despite his young age, he can write well.
I can also write some articles.
These days, these ordinary villagers don't see Mr. Fa Lang showing off his abilities!
Everyone gathered around the young Mr. Fa Lang and the big chrysanthemum tree, waiting for Mr. Fa Lang to read to them the content written on the note.
Mr. Fa Lang, who didn't care much at first, suddenly changed his expression after taking a look at the words on the paper!
He stood here, looking at the note for a while, then stretched out his hand to peel it off the tree, held it in his hand, turned around and pushed aside the crowd to walk out.
Not even a word was mentioned about the content on the paper.
These reactions from Mr. Fa Lang made the surrounding workers and villagers even more curious.
They really wanted to know what was written on it.
It is actually possible to make Mr. Farang, who is literate and can read and write, but is very reliable in doing things, have such a big reaction?!
"Fa, Mr. Fa Lang, what exactly is written on this?"
Wang Gui, who was the first to discover the note, couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Farang thought for a moment and said: "It's not a new policy propaganda issued by the government, but someone who wants to misbehave against the emperor's uncle and want to attack the emperor's uncle!
Don't ask about the content above, and I won't tell you.
After telling the story, people started talking nonsense and it spread, which made it even worse for the emperor's uncle.
This just fell into the thief’s scheme!”
Mr. Fa Lang looks exactly like a young man, with a slight change in his voice, but he speaks very calmly.
Not what ordinary people of his age should look like.
"Hurry up and take a look around to see if there are any other similar notes.
If there are any, please take them off and bring them to me.
I'll take it and report it to the superiors immediately, letting the people above know about this!
This matter is related to the emperor’s uncle, so we can’t neglect it!”
Mr. Farang said this again.
I heard Mr. Fa Lang say that this matter actually involved the emperor's uncle. Some thieves wanted to use this method to attack the emperor's uncle. These villagers immediately stopped!
Uncle Liu Huang, what a good man!
He is truly their lifesaver!
Now, someone actually wants to do evil to their imperial uncle, how can they endure it?!
Now, everyone no longer gathers around to watch the fun.
Immediately following Mr. Fa Lang's instructions, he spread out and searched around to see if there were any other notes.
As the news spread, more people immediately joined the ranks.
Many people who originally got up to poop and pee to solve their personal problems hold it in and are busy doing this first.
Uncle Liu Huang is so kind to himself and others, and now when it comes to him and others, he and others must not be lazy or vague!!
Anyone who wants to misbehave with the emperor's uncle will not be allowed to do so.
"Here's one!"
"Here's one too!"
…
As expected by Mr. Fa Lang, within a short time, the people he was responsible for working in Chang'an found another seven or eight similar notes nearby.
Mr. Farang took all these notes in his hands.
"You guys can continue working. I will report this matter to the superiors. Don't worry too much. According to the status of the emperor's uncle, such conspiracies and tricks are probably useless to the emperor's uncle!"
Mr. Fa Lang said this to these worried people.
Then, taking these notes that appeared overnight, he hurried towards the official residence of Chang'an City...
…
It was almost at the same time that this note was found at Fa Langjun's place. Not too far away from here, someone also found a similar note at another resting place for workers and villagers.
The people who found this note also called the people responsible for recording their work points here and doing other clerical tasks to come over and watch.
This man is not very old, and he is also a young man who has not yet been crowned.
Because his surname was Meng, the working people affectionately called him Meng Langjun.
"Burn down the plank road for three hundred miles and create a cave of its own in the middle of Sichuan."
The young man named Meng came to the big stone, looked at the note posted on it, and read out the contents.
"Burn down the plank road for 300 miles and create a cave in the middle of Sichuan?"
There were people nearby who heard it and chanted it loudly.
"Who wants to burn down the plank road?
Isn't this a bad conscience?
The plank road into Sichuan is difficult to build.
If it is built, many people will die..."
Some people couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
The people nearby suddenly became commotion.
Meng Langjun, who read these words out, listened to what these people said, and then carefully looked at the words written on the note, his expression suddenly changed drastically!
"Don't you ever say this again!
Stop talking about this!
Maybe someone wants to harm the emperor's uncle!
These words are meant to harm the emperor’s uncle!”
Meng Langjun reacted and shouted loudly.
Meng Langjun still has a certain prestige here.
Of course, what is more important is that this matter involves the beloved Uncle Liu Huang.
Therefore, as soon as Meng Langjun said these words, the surrounding area immediately became quiet!
"Meng, Meng Langjun, how come you are trying to harm the emperor's uncle?"
Someone had the courage to ask.
At this time, Meng Langjun was angry again.
I secretly blamed myself for why I read the above words directly without thinking about it!
Doesn't this cause trouble to the emperor's uncle?
After hearing the people's questions, and thinking about how much these people respected the emperor's uncle, and that he had already recited these words, it would not be good to be secretive at this time.
He immediately explained:
"The meaning of these two sentences is that we only need to burn down the plank road out of Sichuan from Shu, and then Yizhou can be isolated from the outside world.
You can disobey the imperial court’s orders and do whatever you want in Yizhou!
Now, in order to beg for food and fodder for us, the emperor's uncle is mobilizing troops and preparing to enter Sichuan.
As a result, at this time, a note like this appeared.
This clearly shows that someone wants to frame the emperor's uncle and attack him!
I don't want the emperor's uncle to do the crusade against Yizhou.
Even if the emperor's uncle really leads troops to Yizhou, with these words, it will easily bring disaster to the emperor's uncle!
This is simply murderous and heartbreaking!"
After listening to Meng Langjun's words, these people realized the seriousness of the matter.
Some people are furious, and some people are filled with anger.
Some old women were so angry that they wiped their eyes in tears.
It's really annoying that someone like Uncle Liu Huang is trying to frame him!
"Just remember, don't talk about this again.
This sentence, the fewer people who know this, the better!
The more beneficial it is to the Emperor’s uncle!”
Meng Langjun spoke solemnly and explained, and the workers in the village nodded their heads one after another.
Afterwards, Meng Langjun left here with the note and hurried to Chang'an City...
