There was a person sitting in the private room, it was Liu Lan from the Guard House.
Before coming, Yufu State had already sent people to investigate and found out that it was Liu Lan who sent the greeting card yesterday.
The person who contacted Liu Lan last time was Long Chen, so this time it was Long Chen who came forward.
When Long Chen entered the door, Liu Lan stood up immediately, he was a little scared.
After closing the door, Long Chen smiled and said, "Master Liu, we meet again."
Liu Lan chuckled and said, "Yes, we meet again. Please sit down."
Long Chen sat down and the food and wine were already served.
Liu Lan served the food in advance so that he would not be disturbed while talking.
"I won't say any more polite words. My father-in-law has an appointment today. I think things have made progress."
Long Chen got straight to the point and got down to business. Liu Lan looked a little embarrassed and said, "The matter is more difficult than I thought. Although the Wuhou under my command are wavering, not many of them expressed their willingness to join the gang."
These days, Liu Lan is trying every means to win over his subordinates to support Li Zhaoliang's rebellion.81Zw.????m
Many of his subordinates were vacillating in their stance, but not many expressed willingness to join the group, which made Liu Lan a little anxious.
Long Chen asked: "How many people, father-in-law, are you sure will be able to join in the rebellion by then?"
Liu Lan calculated in his mind and said: "Two thousand at most."
Long Chen frowned, he didn't expect so few.
"Eunuch Liu is a little patient. Your Majesty has been short of troops on the front line recently, so he wants to transfer the Forbidden Army and Marquis Wu to the front line to fight."
"The fighting on the front line is fierce. When everyone hears that they are going to the battlefield, more people will join the army."
Liu Lan also heard this rumor, but did not expect that it was Li Zhaoliang who spread it.
"I see. I still find it strange. I didn't even hear that we were going to the battlefield. Where did the news come from?"
"Then let's wait a little longer, wait until the news spreads, and then we'll talk."
Long Chen said: "Don't worry, Eunuch Liu, the prince will not let your father-in-law fight alone, we will also secretly promote it."
Liu Lan smiled and said, "That's right, the prince is planning the strategy, and we will act as ordered."
Long Chen stood up and said, "That's it."
After saying that, Long Chen left Cuiyun Tower.
Liu Lan stayed alone in the private room for a while, then got up and left.
Wu'an Prince's Mansion.
Liao Houqi entered the study room with the secret letter, and Li Zhaoliang immediately picked up the secret letter.
After watching it, Li Zhaoliang beamed with joy.
"Your Majesty, is there any good news again?"
Liao Houqi was happy to see Li Zhaoliang and guessed that something good was going to happen again.
Li Zhaoliang said: "The Forbidden Army is already under the control of Yufu State. Zu Linhao is ill in bed, and Song Ding is one of ours."
Liao Houqi said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't expect that the Yufu State was so powerful that it actually instigated the rebellion of the Forbidden Army."
Li Zhaoliang said happily: "With the imperial army and the garrison in my hands, great things can be accomplished."
...
There is a shortage of men on the front line, and the news that the imperial army and garrison troops will be sent to the front to fight is spreading more and more widely, and more and more people are talking about it.
The Forbidden Army and the garrison soldiers were panic-stricken, and they did not want to go to the front line and die.
Later, news came out in the city that all the men in Jinling City were going to serve as soldiers and fight. Everyone was very scared, and the people in the city were in a state of confusion.
...
garrison mansion.
Sha Wuliang and Tan Miao were drinking together, with a plate of haggis on the table.
A police officer asked: "Boss, I heard that we are going to fight on the front line. Is this news accurate?"
Everyone looked at Sha Wuliang, who shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, anything can happen these days. So many people died on the front line. The Ministry of War is indeed recruiting troops."
The policeman said helplessly: "If you go there, you will die."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Sha Wuliang continued to drink. Tan Miao drank a glass of wine and said, "Damn it, if you really let me go to the front line to fight, I will rebel with King Wu'an."
After saying this, everyone was a little frightened and looked at Sha Wuliang.
Sha Wuliang had no expression on his face and continued to drink and eat meat.
Sha Wuliang didn't speak, and the others didn't speak either, drinking in silence.
"Old Tan is right. If I were asked to go to the front line and die, I would be willing to follow King Wu'an and still strive for wealth."
Sha Wuliang took the lead and expressed his willingness to do it, and his detective said: "Boss takes the lead, and we will do it. Anyway, I won't go to the front line to die."
Sha Wuliang raised his glass and said, "Do it!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
Forbidden Army Yamen.
Zu Linhao was lying on the bed dying, with two imperial guards guarding him.
Song Ding walked in the door and smelled a foul smell.
Holding back his nausea, Song Ding stepped forward and asked: "Zu Xiaowei, are you okay?"
Zu Linhao opened his eyes weakly and said feebly: "Brother... you go to the palace... and find an imperial doctor."
Song Ding was secretly happy and pretended to be helpless and said: "Zu Xiaowei, the imperial doctor has been taken to the front line a long time ago and is no longer available."
When Linhu City was flooded, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fell ill, and the imperial doctors in the palace had long been drafted away.
Even the famous doctors in Jinling City were forcibly taken away, leaving some lame doctors.
Zu Linhao sighed helplessly: "Am I going to die..."
Song Ding comforted him and said, "Don't think too much, Lieutenant Zu, it's just a stomachache."
Zu Linhao closed his eyes and did not want to speak, and Song Ding exited the room.
When they got outside, Song Ding found his men and took them to drink together.
The Forbidden Army asked about the recruitment of troops on the front line, and Song Ding said: "I asked the Ministry of War, and they said it is true. It is estimated that it will start soon."
"Long Chen is stationing troops in Linhu City, and the Emperor is gathering troops in Qingren County for training. We are all going."
One of the forbidden soldiers was very dissatisfied and said: "All the brothers who went there died, do you still want us all to die?"
Song Ding sighed helplessly: "The emperor's order cannot be violated. If we are asked to die, we must die!"
One of the Imperial Guards took advantage of the drunkenness and slammed the table and cursed: "Why should I die? I am not the son of a mother!"
Everyone was silent and dared not speak.
Song Ding said, "What you said is also a solution. If the emperor changes, we won't have to die."
None of his subordinates dared to answer the question, Song Ding often said this at these times.
"If you follow King Wu'an, all the brothers will be rich and powerful. The big ones dare not say it. It's okay to work as an official and a part-time official. It's better than going to the front line and dying."
Song Ding spoke very calmly, and his subordinates felt that his words made sense.
"What Colonel Song said is that we should follow Colonel Song."
Seeing that his men were becoming more and more obedient, Song Ding felt somewhat confident.
After the banquet, Song Ding returned to the room, closed the door, and heard a voice behind him.
"Captain Song, have you decided now?"
Long Chen was sitting in the room, and Song Ding was startled.
There were so many people in the garrison mansion, but Long Chen actually hid in the room.
"Brother Shadow Dragon, why are you here?"
Song Ding did not dare to raise his voice for fear that people outside would hear him.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Last time Colonel Song was worried that things would not work out. What will you decide now?"
Last time, Long Chen promised to let Song Ding control the Forbidden Army, and Long Chen did it.
Song Ding sat down and said: "Your Majesty is really good at it. The Forbidden Army is now under my control, and many of my brothers have agreed."
"Brother, please tell the prince that I will join!"
