Chapter 45 General's plan
☆Free novel reading [ ]
The military soldiers of the imperial guards were asked to leave the stone field at the request of the king. Without the order from the Office of the Supervisor and the Military Control Commission, the military soldiers of the Caocheng Village could not enter the prison camp at will.
However, something happened last night. Zhu Xiaotong asked Chen Zixiao to go to prison to discuss the response mechanism, but it was in accordance with the rules.
Chen Zixiao knew that the Cai family was headed by Guo Zhongxiong in Lanzhou, but they were sent to Lanzhou to serve as an irrelevant idle dispatch for half a year. They only met Guo Zhongxiong twice, but they couldn't say a few words. Zeng Run had contacted them several times, but they were reluctant.
Guo Jun, Pan Chenghu and the others complained, but Chen Zixiao had long expected this.
Cai Ying was in charge of military affairs in Hexi for more than ten years and served as the Privy Council. There were countless civil officials and officials in the court who defected to his subordinates, and there was no shortage of manpower at all. Zheng Hui and Dong Qifeng were already dead and lost this bond. Even if they accepted the invitation, they would not be able to gain the trust of Cai Ying or other core figures of Cai.
More than ten days ago, Guo Zhongxiong suddenly sentenced him and Guo Jun, and Pan Chenghu was transferred to Caochengzhai for office. Zeng Run also introduced Zhu Xiaotong to be a disciple of the Cai Mansion. Chen Zixiao realized that it was not Guo Zhongxiong or Zeng Run that caused this change, but someone else.
Chen Zixiao followed Zhu Xiaotong into the independent prison room at the east end of the Ding prison room. When he saw Yue Hailou, Sun Chen was sitting on the haystack in the prison room.
His eyes were slightly restrained like a beast seeing prey, and he glanced at Yue Hailou, whose face was covered by messy beards, and was shocked: The real person in charge of Cai's Mansion in Lanzhou was actually him?
Did he stay in the prison room just to keep an eye on Wang Bing, a person who actually didn't have much threat to Cai Ying?
"This is the prince in front of the prime minister." Zhu Xiaotong said.
"Chen Zixiao has met his grandfather!" Chen Zixiao stepped forward and bowed.
"Something happened in the prison camp last night. Chen Junzhi must have heard of it?" Yue Hailou looked at Chen Zixiao's eyes with resolute eyes, pointed to the haystack in front of him, and signaled him to sit down and talk to Zhu Xiaotong.
"Xu Huai has the courage that ordinary people are not good enough and acts without any scruples. Under the instigation of Wang Bing and Yasha Fox, he often makes unexpected moves. This is not a secret in Tongbai Mountain." Chen Zixiao said that he had heard a little about what happened in the prison camp last night.
"There are many causes of the bad food in the prison camp, which cannot be solved temporarily, but this rash man promised to take people to the Grain and Material Courtyard in five days to receive grain. Wang Bing could not stop it, or Wang Bing had no intention of stopping it. According to what Chen Jun Envoy saw, what do you think they were making?" Yue Hailou asked.
"I heard from Mr. Zeng that Wang Bing had a female relative following him when he was in office. However, after Wang Bing took office, these female relatives embarked on the way back. However, as we see him in humble positions, we should still beware of the Yaksha Fox being still in Lanzhou!" Chen Zixiao pondered for a while and said, "When Mr. Zheng was in Tongbai Mountain, he was inadequate in preventing Yaksha Fox from being in danger several times, and suffered great losses several times..."
"..." Yue Hailou signaled Chen Zixiao to continue.
"As far as I know, five days later, it is not the Shichang Prison Camp, one of the Shichang Prison Camp, to get grain in the Grain and Material Court; and one of the Shichang Prison Camp, to be resentful of the grain and grain in the Grain and Material Court, to be absolutely not the Shichang Prison Camp," Chen Zixiao said calmly. "Just as Caocheng Village alone, the grain and grain that the Xiang Army eats every day is very different from the imperial guards. The generals and soldiers of the Xiang Army complain about this, and it happened that they would send people to the Grain and Material Court to get new grain for the next ten days in five days. If only Xu Huai took dozens of prisoners from the Shichang Prison Camp to make trouble, I believe that no trouble would come out. But if the Yasha Fox is still in Lanzhou, if they encouraged the Xiang Army to get grain in the Grain and Material Court to get food in the Grain and Material Court, and the Xiang Army causes trouble together, I don't know how Guo Langjun will deal with it?"
"Dare they?" Zhu Xiaotong exclaimed, "They are about to attack Yan, and they encourage tens of thousands of prisoners. The Xiang army made a mutiny. Wang Bing has a few who are not smart enough to behead his head!"
"The attack on Yan is about to happen, and tens of thousands of prisoners are making a mutiny in the Xiang army, and the court has held the blame. Wang Bing is indeed a serious crime, but when it comes to beheading, Guo Langjun seems to be unable to escape the blame first?"
Chen Zixiao said,
"They were also very clear before that after driving the military soldiers of the imperial guards out, Zhu Guanying was even more afraid of Xiaobao than them, so they would be forced to give in to everything. In fact, thinking about it, the prison camp is really out of control. In addition to our Caocheng Village, we can reap the benefits of the fishermen, can Wang Bing and others be out of the stone yard? This time they used the old trick again, and maybe they would make some noise in advance to attract Guo Langjun's attention. As long as Guo Langjun retreated, as long as Xiaobao mutiny did not actually happen, who would report to the court that was hidden but unobstructed here?"
Sun Chen looked at Chen Zixiao unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that Chen Zixiao, who was a bandit, would have such insights.
"He is so bold, so he is not afraid of burning himself when he plays too much?" Zhu Xiaotong thought he had a clever plan before, but when he heard Chen Zixiao's words, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If this fire is really burned, Wang Bing cannot escape the consequences, but Guo Zhongxiong, Zeng Run and Zhu Xiaotong will all die without a place to bury it?
“No, no, no,”
Zhu Xiaotong couldn't imagine all this. He thought about all kinds of thoughts, but couldn't help but suspect that Chen Zixiao's words were sensational, and shook his head and said,
"I used the plan in the morning and wanted to ask the King to fall into the trap. The King obviously hesitated, but the reckless guy was ungrateful and agreed to this matter in one go. I could see clearly the expressions of these people. How could it be a plan they had discussed in advance? Chen Jun Envoy might have been bitten by a snake once, so he was a little too careful?"
Of course, Chen Zixiao was not as clear as Zhu Xiaotong about what happened in the prison camp, but that was exactly the case. Zhu Xiaotong's words made him feel a little scammered. There seemed to be something deep in his heart, which was violently exposed at this moment.
Occasionally, he felt that his thought was a bit ridiculous.
That rash man was born with divine power. He had a thief who defied the heavens in martial arts and even became a fool in martial arts. However, he had never left Tongbai Mountain before the bandits...
"What are Chen Junjun thinking?" Yue Hailou frowned slightly and asked when he noticed that Chen Zixiao was a little dazed.
"What Zhu Guanying said may be true, but I still want to remind you that this Yaksha fox is the best at adapting to circumstances and taking advantage of the situation," Chen Zixiao came to his senses and said, "Of course, it is extremely pitiful. After we started a scene in Tongbai Mountain, we repeatedly fell into the Yaksha fox's hands, and we never got the lead. So this time we can only make random guesses and cannot count them. Please weigh everything..."
"Thank you for your hard work in Chen Jun to go this trip. You also know that the attack on Yan is about to happen. As long as Chen Jun works hard, the opportunity to become successful will inevitably be possible." Yue Hailou said.
"The Prime Minister may come to Lanzhou to command troops in person, as long as the Chen army envoy..." Sun Chen no longer regarded Chen Zixiao as an ordinary thief general, so he couldn't help but want to win him over.
"Too much!" Yue Hailou glared at Sun Chen and signaled that Zhu Xiaotong could accompany Chen Zixiao out first.

When Chen Zixiao returned to Caocheng Village with all his thoughts, it was already dark. Guo Jun and Pan Chenghu and the others were just drunk and hot.
The two of them ran into Chen Zixiao who was distracted at the entrance of the house behind the public hall. They were hesitant and a little embarrassed. They said hello and wanted to go back to their own courtyards.
Chen Zixiao was shocked and stopped them and said, "It was Zheng Tuqiang who took you to have a drink again?"
“…”
Pan Chenghu said embarrassedly,
"I don't want to pay attention to that guy, but that guy is so silly and invites him. When the stone material enters and leaves the stone, he will inevitably have to deal with that guy. If he really wiped his face, he was pulled over and drank two small cups of wine - "Why don't you drink it?" Fortunately, Zheng Tu is also a wonderful person, and he is more foolish than that little pussy. However, speaking of this, these messy heads, carrying their belts, and fighting with us in Tongbai Mountain. At the end, we can still catch a call from the military envoy. They didn't get any farts in the end, which was miserable. No wonder they complained. They were taken to have wine and heard them complain, but we had to feel more at ease-"
"Yes," Chen Zixiao said in Pan Chenghu's tone, "but these miscellaneous things are worse than following us to become bandits in the morning! I have a new pack of good tea. I see you drink a lot of wine, so go to my house to drink some tea to relieve wine."
"What's wrong with Zhu Xiaotong looking for you?" Guo Junsing and Pan Chenghu walked into Chen Zixiao's house and asked.
"What can I do?" Chen Zixiao asked the old man who served him to burn a pot of water, sat down and sighed, "Xu Huai's crazy guy made a big fuss in prison yesterday. Zhu Xiaotong couldn't help but ask me to say a lot of good things about him, but he just wanted to instigate us to fight them-"
"What did you say?" Pan Chenghu said.
"We are now living under someone else's roof. Half a year has passed and yet we have not yet gained a foothold. We always have to act according to other people's faces. What can I say? Of course, we should agree first. Unfortunately, Mr. Zheng and the others are gone. Even if we sacrifice our lives, they may not take us seriously! In fact, I will agree, are you willing to fight there?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked.
Pan Chenghu and Guo Junzong shook their heads together and said, "That little guy is not so annoying. Who can do the same thing as theirs?"
Chen Zixiao sighed and said with emotion: "To be honest, now thinking about it, it's not as good as being at Hutou Village. We shouldn't have listened to Zheng Hui's instigation. We really thought that wealth and honor were enough to spit on his face..."
"Damn it, isn't it?" Pan Chenghu, who was already drunk, spat fiercely and said, "I was in Xiema Mountain back then. Although I was hiding my head and shrank and didn't dare to make a big noise, but the number of 200 people under my command, Yuhuangling, Jinshagou, and Qingliu River is twenty or thirty miles in a radius. Who dares to show me a look? Every day I'm not eating meat or drinking a big bowl of wine. I'm almost forty, and the watery girl and wife have also slept for more than ten times-you
Don't think it's too little, but tell you, I'm picky about food, not like an old crow. Now I'm talking about it, but what's the shit about it? I'm carrying two or three hundred old people, the sick and disabled every day to transport stones. If there is a slight delay, any random mess dares to jump out to treat us as grandsons. It's better to eat pigs and dogs every day, and I can't see two pieces of fat meat. The wine is so sour as if the horse is peeing. And the meat-selling women in Langu City are so rough that they rubbed sand. If they get it twice, they'll be so tired. Alas."
"Zheng Tu and the others envied us for being an official, but he didn't know that we were still staring at him as thieves," Guo Junjue was resentful, and did not think that there was any concern for talking in front of Chen Zixiao and Pan Chenghu. He said, "We selected a dozen of relatively strong men from the wing army, thinking about training them so as not to be bullied in the future. However, just like this, I heard someone sarcastically say that we were uneasy - uneasy about him."
"You are pretty good. Look at your generals and soldiers. They can tolerate what they eat every day. Don't complain anymore. If you complain too much, there is no benefit, let alone people are guarding against us." Chen Zixiao advised them.
"I'm afraid that his bird will make me angry. At worst, I can bring people into Guancen Mountain to fall into grass, and I won't be angry with this bird!" Pan Chenghu said. When he was angry, he patted the table with his palms...
