The top commander of the Qianniu Guard is the general, and there are two generals on the left and right below. The army has a total of 30,000 people, divided into ten battalions. The leader of the battalion will be the Zhonglang general, and the two generals below will be the deputy generals.
The lieutenant general of the first battalion is called Zhang Yun. He is the son-in-law of the Dugu family. He is quite handsome. Everyone calls him Fatty Zhang. He looks to be at least forty years old, but is actually only in his early thirties. He has a good temper.
He has a low profile and is very popular in the military camp. Everyone knows him from top to bottom.
This time Guo Song's task is difficult to complete by himself. He must get support from insiders. Liu Wen is the first one. He has a special status. He is the eldest grandson-in-law of Guo Ziyi, followed by Zhang Yun, who is a member of the Dugu family.
son-in-law.
Zhang Yun took Guo Song into a large tent and asked Guo Song, "Have you ever been in contact with Yu Chaoan?"
Guo Song shook his head, "I have never seen this person before. I only received the emperor's instructions yesterday morning. I only know that this person has dark skin and a mustache."
"That's a bit troublesome. His two soldiers look so much like him that sometimes even I can't tell them apart. Needless to say, you haven't met him yet."
Guo Song asked tentatively: "Is practicing polo an opportunity?"
Zhang Yun nodded, "Playing polo is indeed an opportunity. Those two soldiers really don't know how to play polo. If the person who ends up is definitely Yu Chaoan, the problem is that I don't know if he will come out this afternoon.
Yu Chaoen came to see Yu Chaoan last night, I guess Yu Chaoan has realized that the emperor is going to take action against him, and he will not show up easily."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "What if we create conditions? For example, to lure him out to play polo."
Zhang Yun walked a few steps and said with a smile: "This is a good idea. As long as we play polo, Yu Chaoan will definitely be there to watch the game. However, for safety reasons, Yu Chaoan will not leave the field. So be it! I will find him
Let's chat with Yu Chao'an, so that you can know who the real Yu Chao'an is, but your archery skills must be more accurate, don't shoot me through with one arrow."
Guo Song smiled faintly and said, "I will be in the southeast direction. General Zhang must take his position!"
........
Every morning, General Yu Chaoan would patrol around the military camp, but today Yu Chaoan did not come out to patrol. Since his brother Yu Chaoen talked to him last night, Yu Chaoan has been extremely careful and cannot dare to step out of the big tent.
Three hundred soldiers have been following him every step of the way since last night.
Yu Chaoan is a butcher by trade. He is over fifty years old. He has dark skin, a beard and leopard eyes. He is as strong as an ox and has great strength. He is also wearing iron armor and has several personal guards with high martial arts skills. It would be very difficult for most people to assassinate him.
Disaster.
There is only one way to kill him, which is to shoot through his head from a long distance. So far, Li Yu only believes that Guo Song can do it.
After lunch, it was supposed to be Yu Chaoan's time to practice polo. He would play for half an hour every day, rain or shine, but today he was a little hesitant. For safety reasons, he didn't want to play polo, but the habit he had developed for a long time was...
It made him feel itchy and unbearable. For a moment, Yu Chaoan was in a dilemma.
At this time, a soldier reported at the door: "Commander, Fatty Zhang wants to see you!"
Zhang Yun is very popular. From the generals to the ordinary soldiers, they all call him Fatty Zhang. Yu Chaoan also likes him very much. Especially Zhang Yun also likes to play polo, and he plays very badly. He can't win even if he tries his best.
Yu Chaoan, unlike other polo players who would deliberately lose to him, satisfies Yu Chaoan's desire to win.
Yu Anan chuckled and said, "Let him in!"
Not long after, the handsome Zhang Yun walked in and said with a smile: "I just learned a few tricks, would you like me to give it a try?"
Yu Chao An smiled brightly, "Just try it, am I still afraid of you?"
A soldier cautiously advised: "Commander, it's better not to play polo!"
Yu Chaoan was furious and slapped him in the face, "What do I want to do and need your advice?"
The soldiers did not dare to say anything. Zhang Yun said, "If it is inconvenient for the general, then forget it."
"Who said it's inconvenient? Let's go play ball!"
Yu Chaoan was already very itchy, but as soon as Zhang Yun came, he completely aroused his desire to play ball. No one could persuade him to do anything.
There is a large school ground in the Qianniuwei barracks, but there is also a small school ground in the central camp, which has become Yu Chaoan's special stadium.
Of course, the small school field is not suitable for powerful volleys on horseback, and can only be used for shooting training from twenty steps away. This is also a method of playing polo, called Wenda, which means you do not ride a horse, but walk to position and shoot, which is a bit like playing golf.
The two of them walked onto the field with their clubs. The goal was on the east side and it was backlit, which made it a bit dazzling when playing.
Just as Yu Chaoan was about to ask someone to move the goal to the north, Zhang Yun said with a smile: "The few tricks I just learned are to play backlit balls. I can't use them even if the hole is moved to the north."
"Okay, let's hit the backlight ball!"
Zhang Yun put the ball on the small wooden platform and hit it with one stroke. The ball hit the edge of the wooden board with a 'bang!' sound and bounced out.
Zhang Yun blushed and said repeatedly: "This doesn't count, I'll hit another ball!"
Yu Chaoan laughed loudly, "My playing skills are as superb as ever, let me teach you!"
Yu Chaoan pushed Zhang Yun away and waved, "Stand far away and let me hit this shot!"
The soldier placed the ball and Yu Chaoan swung it. He squinted and watched the ball hit the hole under the dazzling sunlight. He suddenly discovered why it turned into two black spots?
Before he could react, a black dot suddenly appeared in front of him. It was an arrow! Yu Chaoen suddenly realized that the black dot was actually an arrow, but it was too late. 'Pfft!' An arrow shot into his eyebrows, and the tip of the arrow came from the back of his head.
Exposed and killed on the spot.
Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Yun suddenly shouted: "There is an assassin!"
Three hundred soldiers formed a chaotic group and rushed forward one after another. Zhang Yun waved his hand and shouted: "Go and catch the assassin!"
Hundreds of soldiers woke up, turned around and ran outside.
Zhang Yun wanted to escape and shouted again: "Carry the commander into the tent, and I'll go get the military doctor!"
Zhang Yun turned over and mounted a horse, spurring the horse to gallop away. The soldiers were in a mess, unaware of Zhang Yun's role in the assassination, and Zhang Yun fled all the way back to his camp.
"Shoot rockets!"
As soon as he entered the camp, he shouted: "Dozens of rockets will rise into the sky!"
This was the signal agreed upon in advance. The five thousand Yulin army near the main tent, led by General Youwei Du Guqiu, arrived at the Qianniuwei camp.
At this time, the camp gate had been controlled by Zhang Yun's men. The gate was opened, and Du Lingqiu led his army into the camp. Zhang Yun stepped forward to salute. Zhang Yun was Du Lingqiu's niece and son-in-law. He cupped his fists and said: "Yu Chaoan is definitely dead.
, I verified it personally and shot an arrow through his forehead."
"Is there anyone who can tell Yu Chaoen?"
"Yes! But he was intercepted by his humble subordinates."
"here you go!"
Du Lingqiu praised him, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where is Mr. Guo?"
"I'm here!"
A soldier behind Zhang Yun agreed. Only then did Du Lingqiu notice that the person behind Zhang Yun was indeed Guo Song.
Du Lingqiu cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Guo for your great achievements!"
Guo Song said calmly: "It's not completely successful yet, it's still too early to celebrate!"
Du Lingqiu nodded, "Master Guo is right, it's too early to celebrate now."
He turned around and shouted: "The army enters the camp!"
Five thousand soldiers entered the Qianniu Guard Army and surrounded the central tent. All three hundred of Yu Chaoan's soldiers were captured, and no one could escape. Immediately, there was a loud drumbeat, which was a drum call to summon the generals.
In just a moment, General Lang and General Zhonglang rushed to the Chinese army's tent. At this time, various gossips spread in the military camp. Some said that Yu Chaoan was assassinated and injured, some said that Yu Chaoan had been assassinated and killed, and some said that these
The news is all misleading and fake news, Yu Chaoan is not fine at all.
The reason for the confusion was that Yu Chaoan's soldiers blocked the news.
Dozens of generals gathered together in a tent, but the person sitting in the middle of the handsome tent was not Yu Chaoan, but Dugu Qianqiu. The generals were stunned and whispered. At this time, a civilian official loudly said: "Preach the emperor's edict!"
Everyone knelt down on one knee, and the civil servant unfolded the imperial edict and loudly said: "Yu Chaoan lacks ability and has bad character. He is not suitable to continue to command Qianniu Guard. He is specially removed from the post of general and replaced by Youwei General Dugu."
Qianqiu took over, and all the generals obeyed his orders and had no choice but to resist, so I appreciate this!"
At this time, General Zuo Han Qi stood up and asked, "Does Prince Yongjia know about this appointment and dismissal?"
Dugu Qianqiu's eyes showed coldness. He knew that Han Qi was Yu Chaoen's confidant and one of the biggest obstacles to his taking power. He slammed the table and shouted: "Han Qi, do you dare to question the imperial edict?"
Han Qi held the hilt of the knife and said loudly: "Five years ago, the emperor himself said that the appointment and dismissal of General Qianniuwei was decided by the Yongjia County Prince. I still remember it fresh. Can a golden word be broken?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of cold light, as fast as lightning. Han Qi was unable to dodge, and a slender flying knife was inserted into his forehead. Han Li stood stunned for a moment, and then fell suddenly.
Dugu Qianqiu did not expect Guo Song to act so decisively. When he saw that all the generals were suppressed, he asked coldly: "Who else wants to disobey the imperial edict?"
Everyone bowed together and said: "Don't dare to disobey!"
"Okay! Now that Han Qi is dead, Zhang Yun, the lieutenant general of the first battalion, will take over as the left general of the Qianniu Guard. In addition, Wang Zhenwu, the right general of the Qianniu Guard, will be promoted to the left general and the right general of the Qianniu Guard.
I will hold the concurrent position, and the other general positions will remain unchanged. I hope that everyone will be loyal to the Holy One and not burn the wrong incense at the critical moment, which will harm the entire family."
Wang Zhenwu belongs to the neutral faction, and being promoted to General of the Left Guard can reduce his resistance, which will help Du Guqiu firmly control Qianniu Guard.
Du Guqiu immediately ordered the news to be blocked and no one was allowed to spread the news of Yu Chaoan's death to the hunting camp. At the same time, he secretly sent someone to inform the emperor that Qianniu Guard had been completely controlled.
