Yalong quickly walked through the Governor's Mansion with this Tang Jun warrior, and soon came to a courtyard.
After passing through the courtyard gate, I heard the energetic shouts coming from inside.
"One to ten!"
"How dare you shout so arrogantly even if you're a pair of ten, a pair of two."
"Pass……"
"I can't afford it..."
Hearing the familiar sound of playing cards, the man who came with Yalong had a dark look on his face and raised his hand to stop Yalong.
"Please wait a moment, I'll report it first."
"???" Yalong looked at the Tang Army soldier walking away quickly with a confused look on his face, but he was constantly speculating in his heart.
What kind of secret and big thing are the Grand Governor and the others doing? Since it is a big secret thing, why do they speak so loudly?
"The Governor, Governor Lu of Xuezhou sent the Governor of the Governor's Palace, Bo Yalong, saying that he had urgent military information and asked to see the Governor."
"Emergency military situation?" Upon hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
Li Ke quickly threw down the cards in his hand and stood up. "Let him come in quickly."
Cheng Chubi and Fang Jun hurriedly put the bamboo signs into the wooden box on the side. After a short time, they saw a tiger man walking inside.
Yalong looked at Yushu Linfeng and Li Ke coming towards him, and quickly fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please see the Grand Governor."
Li Ke raised his hand to support him and asked impatiently.
"Excuse me, what happened in Xuezhou? Is it possible that some bandits came to Xuezhou to cause trouble?"
"No, it was our three gangsters from Xuezhou who caused the rebellion. The details are in my governor's letter, and the governor will know it as soon as he reads it."
"Is there a canine head in Xuezhou causing trouble?" Cheng Chubi put his hands behind his back and staggered to Li Ke's side and stood there.
Seeing that Cheng Sanlang was there, Yalong couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. Why was he here too?
Fortunately, the letter from Dali Shou has been delivered to the governor, and he finally lived up to Dali Shou's expectations.
After reading this letter, which was short in words but clearly explained the details of the matter, Li Ke's face suddenly darkened.
"...How could something like this happen? You and your Governor Lu didn't know anything about it?"
Cheng Chubi took the letter from Li Ke, and after reading the content clearly, his face instantly darkened.
"Brother Chu Bi, what's going on?"
After hearing Fang Jun's inquiry, Cheng Chubi handed over the letter with a livid face.
"Three ruffians in Xuezhou rebelled and killed Bai Xianqi, the shopkeeper of the Xuezhou branch of our Luzhou branch of the Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Bank, and more than 30 people including his followers."
"After that, they started slashing and stabbing outside Xuezhou City, killing about ten more people and injuring almost the same number."
#####
After being questioned by Li Ke and Cheng Chubi, Yalong briefly told the story. Luge, the younger brother of Governor Lu, was very dissatisfied with Governor Lu's indifference to the fact that Liren was working for the Han people.
As a result, many Xue people's villages lost a large number of people, so he went to Xuezhou City and had a dispute with Governor Lu.
"...No one expected that Luge and the others would respectfully agree to the governor's order."
"But in fact, he was harboring evil intentions. On the pretext of following the orders of Governor Lu, he lured Shopkeeper Bai and others out of the city and set up an ambush to kill them."
"He took the heads of Shopkeeper Bai and others and ran outside the city to shout.
It is said that he was ordered by the governor to kill all the Han traders and those who had taken refuge with the Han people."
After hearing the cause and effect, Li Ke raised his hand and motioned to the guards to take Yalong down first. He couldn't help but was so angry that he slapped the table twice.
"This is nothing. I didn't expect that we always lure those beasts with generous benefits."
"As a result, there was a person who dared to attack someone from Hantang Trading Company with a knife."
"Come here!..."
"Wait a minute." Cheng Chubi quickly stood up. "Brother Xian, what are you going to do?"
Li Ke said somewhat unhappily.
"Of course, we summoned the civil and military forces of Luzhou to discuss how to deal with it."
Cheng Chubi slowly shook his head, saluted Li Ke, and said with a businesslike face.
"Your Highness, this is too time-consuming."
"Since Lu Neng of Xuezhou claimed that his younger brother colluded with other beast leaders to rebel. This is just his one-sided statement. The truth is yet to be known."
After hearing Brother Chu Bi's words, Li Ke reacted and touched his face in embarrassment.
"How about sending a detective horse to investigate first?"
"It's not appropriate. If we send a detective horse there, it will actually be easy to alert the enemy."
"I'm asking for orders to go to Xuezhou in person."
"Are you going?" Li Ke looked towards Cheng Chubi in astonishment.
Cheng Chubi nodded. "A cement straight road has been built from Luzhou to Xuezhou. It takes only two days to reach the three hundred miles by horse."
"But we don't have many cavalry." Li Ke scratched his head in embarrassment.
This is Luzhou, not the north. If it were in the north, a large governor's palace would be able to gather two to three thousand cavalry.
As for the governor of Luzhou, there were no more than two hundred elite cavalry, and the rest were all infantry.
Of course, there is no way around this. After all, the mountain roads in Luzhou were rugged in the past, and even cavalry was of little use.
You can't let the cavalry go mountain climbing and rock climbing, right?
"No need for cavalry," Cheng Chubi said decisively. "We will use horse-drawn carriages to transport troops."
"Carriage transporting troops?" Li Ke and Fang Jun couldn't help but wonder at the same time.
"That's right, I didn't think the coal transportation in Changning Prefecture was too slow before, so I designed that kind of four-wheeled carriage for them."
That kind of four-wheel carriage has two wheels as steering wheels and four wheels as load-bearing wheels.
Pulled by two horses, one can pull up almost four thousand kilograms of coal. If it is used to carry people, it can carry fifteen to twenty fully armed elites of the Tang Dynasty.
There are now nearly a hundred such vehicles in Changning Prefecture.
Hearing this, Li Ke reacted immediately and slapped his leg with a big hand.
"Brother Chu Bi is right. No matter how slow the carriage is, it should be able to travel a hundred miles in a day."
"It only takes three days and a hundred carriages to transport 1,500 to 2,000 high-spirited soldiers to Xuezhou."
"It doesn't take that much. Even if all the Xuezhou rebels rebel, even if there are only a thousand elites, Cheng can still hold his ground and wait for reinforcements."
"In that case, let's do this, please leave it to Brother Chu Bi."
"Brother Chu Bi, let me go too. I'll go with you." Fang Jun quickly made the request.
"Just don't go. You are a military officer of the Governor's Palace. You should stay with the Governor to protect his safety."
"Next time, next time something like this happens, I will definitely take you with me."
After comforting Fang Jun and discussing a plan with Li Ke and others, Cheng Chubi jumped back to his house.
I started rummaging through the boxes and found those explosive-grade firecrackers. Don’t forget to bring these with you.
He glanced around and saw the gunpowder and remaining fuse stored in the jar.
