"Today, the military government is discussing matters. The king wants to recall Fan Sicong and Chen Fan." In the Xu Mansion in Guangling, Yan Keqiu, the judge of the Yangzhou shogunate, revealed a shocking news.
When Xu Wen heard this, he was frightened, but he could still hold his breath.
Everyone knows how Fan Sicong, Chen Fan and Zhu Sixing left Guangling.
Yang Wo wanted to recall them, of course, not because he missed these old subordinates and asked them to come back to drink and have fun, but to entrust them with real military power and put them into important use.
If it were just this, that would be enough, but it also contained a deep murderous intention: Yang Wo was worried about him and Zhang Hao. To put it mildly, Fan Sicong and Chen Fan came back to check and balance them.
To put it more seriously, it is to kill them, and the latter is more likely.
"Fan, how long will it take for General Chen to arrive at Guangling?" Xu Wen took a deep breath and asked. "At most three days." Yan Keqiu said.
"I believe what you said, sir." Xu Wen stood up, bowed respectfully to Yan Keqiu, and said, "The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten." Yan Keqiu avoided it and asked, "
I wonder how many people Commander Xu can mobilize now?"
Xu Wen sighed and said: "On weekdays, there are hundreds of people who swear allegiance to me, but to be honest, the number of people I really believe in is only a hundred people at most." "A bit less." Yan Keqiu thought for a while and said, "If there were more,
Then it will be done."
"The situation at Zhang Hao's side is similar to mine. I can work with him," Xu Wen said. Yan Keqiu nodded and said, "In that case, I will take my leave."
After that, he put on some makeup and slipped away in the night, which was neat and tidy. Xu Wen looked at his back and remained silent for a long time.
He and Yan Keqiu have nothing on the surface, but privately they have an excellent relationship, as evidenced by tonight's letter. If there is an opportunity in the future, he should repay this kindness.
"Go and invite Commander Zhang to discuss matters." Xu Wen left the study and said to an old servant. The old servant did not speak and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after, maybe a quarter of an hour at most, Zhang Hao quietly entered the Xu Mansion through the corner gate.
Xu Wen was a little surprised and said: "Isn't Commander Zhang drinking and having fun at this time? Why did he come so quickly?" "How can I have any time to have fun recently?" Zhang Hao sighed and said, "What's the matter with such an emergency?
"Xu Wen told the truth what Yan Keqiu revealed, and then expressed his own thoughts.
"Commander Xu, you mean..." Zhang Hao suddenly stood up and said in surprise.
He and Xu Wen were on the same rank as the commander of the left and right teeth. Normally, they didn't think much of each other, but unexpectedly, it was Xu Wen who could sink the ship at the critical moment.
"Commander Zhang, is there any other way to deal with the situation now?" Xu Wen asked calmly.
Zhang Hao was speechless and there was really nothing he could do.
Yang Wo was already a little suspicious of them.
As soon as Fan Sicong and Chen Fan come back, they may take control of the pro-army, or they may join the horse army in the east courtyard as generals, and then be transferred into the city. By then, they will have no chance to resist.
If you want to control your destiny in your own hands, you can only take advantage of this moment when Yang Wo is only slightly suspicious and has not really had the intention to kill, and take action first and fight to the death.
"Damn it! How dare you do this, little thief!" After all, he was a ruthless person who even appeared in the dark clouds. Zhang Hao was just distracted for a moment, and he quickly reacted and cursed: "Just do it, what are you afraid of what he will do?" ?』
Xu Wen nodded slightly and said: "Within thirty miles of Guangling, apart from the pro-army, there is only the Dongyuan Horse Army."
"I know the people of the Ma Army in the East Campus very well. If Yang Wo accuses us of our crimes in public and orders his execution, of course these people will take action. But if we kill Yang Wo first, these people will not even shed tears for the custody of our grandsons. Not even a drop will fall off." Zhang Ying said sarcastically.
Xu Wen agreed with him.
If it was during Yang Xingmi's era, let's not say that they would not have the guts to rebel. Even if they did, the Dongyuan Ma Army would take the initiative to suppress the rebellion and chop off their heads to take credit. Even the left and right Yaqin troops who they served as commanders would inform on them. , or directly fight with the cronies they control, the rebellion is unlikely to succeed.
But as for Yang Xingmi's son Yang Wo, that's hard to say.
The Dongyuan Ma Army was loyal to Yang Xingmi, because Yang Xingmi led them with blood and fire.
The coach who has been fighting for half his life has great prestige. Who is Yang Wo? Is he worthy of my loyalty?
Yes, Yang Wo pays his wages on time and never defaults, which only allows us to obey orders. We may obey military orders to attack the enemy, or obey orders to suppress rebellions, but if there are no orders, we will not take the initiative and cannot violate them.
The most likely thing for the East Campus Horse Army is to sit back and watch the success or failure.
The root cause of all these problems is that Yang Wo has no prestige.
To put it bluntly, Yang Wo has not established a "common memory" with the warriors. This memory can be prestige, affection, or kindness. Without these, they will not use their subjective initiative to protect you.
If I don't interfere in the rebellion, I'm already worthy of your food and salary, and I'm worthy of the former king of Wu. Don't think too much about it. Who can be a commander-in-chief but not a commander-in-chief? Maybe he is more decent than you.
"Then without further ado, I will take action immediately for the sake of you and my close friends tonight." Xu Wen said without hesitation. After speaking, he ordered the old servant to come over and give him armor.
"I've been trying to win over my old brothers lately. I can gather more than a hundred people. How many do you have here?" Zhang Hao asked. "Almost." Xu Wen replied vaguely.
"Two hundred people, it's a bit risky, but it's worth the fight." Zhang Tempo looked ferocious, subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and asked: "I will be able to recruit all the people here soon, how long will it take you?" "
"Soon!" After Xu Wen finished wearing the sword, he took it off the wall and wiped it carefully. He and Zhang Hao were both born in Heiyun Longsword, so of course they made long swords.
******
At Haishi, the lights in Yang's Mansion or Prince Wu's Palace were brightly lit, and there were sounds of silk and bamboo playing. It was obvious that Yang Wo was entertaining guests. After a while, a large group of soldiers rushed out of the street, approaching quickly under the cover of darkness.
The sergeant guarding the gate looked at each other, nodded, and moved out of the way. Zhang Hao, holding a long sword, rushed in first.
Several corpses lay scattered behind the door. In the side rooms on the left and right, a strong smell of blood could be heard. Apparently, they were all the innocent guards of the palace who had suffered.
Zhang Hao sneered when he saw this.
Yang Wo, who was entertaining guests in the atrium, didn't notice such strong blood. Could it be that he was fascinated by the wine, meat and beauty? He quickened his pace and continued to move forward.
The sergeants breathed heavily, holding long swords, iron laos and other weapons, and followed closely. Xu Wen was slightly behind, with hundreds of people following him.
This time, they tried their best. If they didn't succeed, they would die. There was nothing to say.
"The jade furnace is made of ice and the mandarin ducks are brocaded, and the pink powder is fragrant and the mountain pillow is sweating... I have to work hard for a lifetime to make you happy today." The singing girl tactfully acted, and her eyebrows were affectionate, and she sang an erotic poem so vividly that the whole hall cheered.
Through the singing, the guests seemed to see the couple sleeping in the same bed being awakened by the rumble of the carriage outside the window. The woman saw the scented sweat and powder on the pillow, the scattered cicada hairpins, arranging the messy sideburns, and smiling with the man.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed. In the end, my heart was full of twists and turns, and I thought that I must have worked hard all my life to be happy with my husband overnight, and I hated that the morning light came so quickly...
"This word is amazing! It describes the shyness and passion of the little beauty to the core..." Yang Wo laughed loudly, groping with his hands non-stop, and the beauty in his arms was coquettish and wanted to refuse but still welcomed her.
The guests were also laughing endlessly, drinking wine, being intimate, and enjoying themselves endlessly. "Whoosh!" An arrow flew straight towards the laughing mouth of a guest.
The person who shot the arrow was probably envious and jealous. I let you play with women and make you laugh so happily. Take my arrow first! And as the arrow was shot, dozens of sergeants poured into the atrium.
The prostitutes were so frightened that they turned pale and screamed.
Yang Wo also stood up, shocked beyond measure, and murmured: "It was sent by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao? Do you really want to kill me?" The sergeants ignored him and just surrounded them.
Zhang Hao didn't answer. He took the heavy sword with his own hands and struck a guest's head hard. "Poof!" Blood gushed out like a fountain.
"It has nothing to do with Your Highness." Xu Wen led his troops over, bowed to Yang Wo, and said, "Now I just want to get rid of the king's troublemakers." "Puff! Puff!" Zhang Hao started killing again.
Got people.
The sergeants waved iron laos
, heavy sword, dragged the guests out one by one, and executed them one by one like killing dogs. Yang Wo turned pale, pretending to be calm, and said: "What crime do they have to kill like this?"
"Robbing the women of the people, greedy for money, blocking the way of speech, and making slanderous remarks..." Xu Wen had already prepared and listed one by one, specifying which person, at which time, and what crime was committed.
Yang Wo was speechless and could only argue: "Since you are guilty, you should repay me. I will make the decision." After Zhang Hao killed the last person, he came over with a heavy sword and said with a cruel smile: "Repay me."
Does the king know?" The sergeants also laughed.
A weak and incompetent person like Yang Wo can't stand their swords, but he actually wants to report everything to him? Why? What ability do you have? "Isn't this just reported to the king?" Zhang Hao laughed and said
: "This is called military remonstrance. Do you understand military remonstrance?"
The sergeants laughed even louder.
Xu Wen frowned and said, "Stop wasting your time. Take control of the whole government and don't let anyone get close. You and I will send more capable people to the military camp to control all the pro-army troops."
There are still thousands of pro-army soldiers in the city. Most of them are not of the same mind as them. If they are left alone, trouble will inevitably occur. "How to control it?" Zhang Hao is a bit stupid.
Xu Wen glanced at Yang Wo and said, "By the order of King Wu."
"Hey! I was having so much fun killing that I didn't think about it for a moment." Zhang Hao laughed at himself and said.
They were originally the commanders of the left and right teeth, and were the highest commanders of the pro-military forces in the city. Now that they had Yang Wo under control and no one could issue "disorders", things would be much easier to handle.
When he went out, Zhang Hao was hit by the cold wind and got goosebumps all over his body. Looking back on what happened just now, he almost couldn't believe it!
The Huainan Yamen Army, the town army, and the troops from other provinces and counties totaled no less than 100,000, and they were all nominally under the command of Yang Wo. However, they succeeded in the rebellion with only 200 people. If it were not for the cold wind, Zhang Hao would have doubted that he was
in a dream.
Two hundred people! Only two hundred people accomplished this big thing!
Zhang Hao was thinking about it and almost couldn't help but want to scream loudly. He was so excited! But he can't take it lightly now.
How to pacify this 100,000-strong army will further test their abilities.
