Five hundred and thirty seventh chapter Luoyang change (1)
The courtyard of Songji Inn's branch in the south of the city is different from the past. Five or six torches are inserted on the courtyard wall, illuminating the entire courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, there are more than 20 people standing densely, including the tallest one. The dozen or so people in the center were all wearing gorgeous clothes or fine armor, and standing at the front were none other than Wei Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the School, and Huangfu Wuyi, the general of You Xiaowei. Apart from them, there was no one else. Behind them were all overweight and famous ministers, while the remaining people were all men in black clothes, gathered around the wall, all with expressionless faces.
Right in front of these people is the lobby in front of the inn, which is connected to the guest rooms on the second floor of the inn. Although Wei Jin, Huangfu Wuyi and others are important officials in the court and celebrities in the court and the public, they are now honest Standing here on the ground, not daring to move, not even the slightest complaint. Seeing the time passing by, these usually pampered officials began to feel a little overwhelmed, and at this moment, they walked out of the front hall. There were several figures, one of whom was round and round. It was Song Qian, Boss Song, the owner of Song Ji Inn. Behind Song Qian, there was a tall man with a gloomy face and a smile on his lips. The middle-aged man with an evil smile, followed by a thin young man in Chinese attire, turned out to be the Yue King Yang Tong.
Seeing Yang Tong come out, Wei Jin, Huangfu Wuyi and other court ministers immediately knelt down to Yang Tong and whispered in unison: "My lord, please see me."
"Well," if it were Yang Tong two years ago, facing the salutes of these ministers, he would politely help them up, and then joke around one by one to win their favor, but now Yang Tong It was completely different. There was an intimidating chill on his face. After walking out of the hall, he glanced at the ministers, snorted coldly, and said: "Since you are willing to come here tonight, you must have thought carefully about it. But here, I still have to make it clear first. If you choose this path, there will be no turning back. If you, my lords, want to withdraw now, it is still too late."
When Yang Tong finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on everyone, and around him, the men in black quietly touched their hands to the saber on his waist. Seeing this scene, all the ministers felt their hearts pounding. For a moment, no one dared to say the word "no". Yang Tong waited for a moment to make sure that no one was talking, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he hummed: "Okay, since you are willing to help me eliminate the traitors." , Qingjun side, they can be regarded as my loyal ministers in the Sui Dynasty. Please rest assured, my lords, I will naturally not treat you badly in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," everyone bowed to Yang Tong again. In fact, everyone's trust was very clear. When Yang Tong came to find them, they had no way back. Now the only thing they hope for is that Yang Tong will not fail. Otherwise, all they can face is death.
Yang Tong nodded, and then said to Huangfu Wuyi: "General Huangfu, how much can you control the defenders of Luoyang City?"
Huangfu Wuyi immediately replied: "Reporting to the prince, 130,000 of the 160,000 troops under Wan He's tent have been dispatched, and only less than 30,000 are left to guard Luoyang City. Among these 30,000 troops , 10,000 were led by Pang Yu, and 10,000 were led by Huo Shiju. The 20,000 people were stationed in the outer city, and only the remaining 10,000 were stationed in the palace and the inner city respectively. However, these 10,000 people were stationed in the outer city. There are ten generals in charge. The last general has convinced five of the generals according to the prince's instructions. They are all willing to be loyal to the prince and eradicate Wanhe's gang members."
Five of the ten people were persuaded. On the surface, it seemed like they were evenly matched, but in fact, Yang Tong had calculated with his mind but not his heart. As long as he arranged it properly, he would definitely be able to control the palace and the inner city in one fell swoop. Wanhe's Prince Liang's Mansion was also in the inner city. As long as Wan He and Emperor Yang Gao in the palace are controlled, then Liang Jun in Luoyang City will naturally completely obey Yang Tong's instructions. In this way, the situation can be settled, and Yang Tong can completely Turned over.
Yang Tong's eyes flashed with excitement, but he did not show any happiness. Instead, he nodded slowly, then turned to Wei Jin and said: "Master Wei, last time I asked you to find out about Yuan Wendu You have found the place where I was imprisoned." Now in Yang Tong's mind, I am afraid that only Yuan Wendu, who was arrested by Wan He for himself, is truly loyal to him. If this plan succeeds, , then Yang Tong needs a real auxiliary minister, and Yuan Wendu is the best candidate.
Wei Jin also nodded immediately and said: "Xiaoguan has found out clearly. Mr. Yuan is now imprisoned in Luoyang Fuyin's dungeon. Xiaguan has bribed Luoyang Fuyin's jailer and arrester. As long as the prince rises up, then They will rescue Master Yuan,"
"Okay," Yang Tong waved his fist slightly. Being able to keep Yuan Wendu was the most important step for Yang Tong. Then, Yang Tong turned his head again, glanced at Song Qian, and then at the man. The strong man immediately said: "Shopkeeper Song, everything depends on you."
Song Qian always maintained a harmless smile, bowed his hands to Yang Tong, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as you act according to the plan, Your Majesty will definitely be able to sit on the throne again,"
"Yeah," Yang Tong responded without comment to Song Qian's words. After going through ups and downs, Yang Tong would no longer trust anyone without reservation. Then Yang Tong nodded and said to Song Qian: "In that case, I will wait for the good news from Shopkeeper Song,"
Song Qian nodded, then turned to the strong man and said, "Feiyu Zhang, you heard what the prince said, get ready to take action."
Feiyu Zhang chuckled, turned around and jumped, flying into the night sky in a blink of an eye and quickly disappeared without a trace. After seeing Feiyu Zhang disappear, Song Qian turned to Yang Tong and said: "Your Majesty, little man Action has already been taken here, and the prince can also take action,"
"Okay," Yang Tong didn't hesitate, turned around and shouted: "Huangfu Wuyi, Duan Shihong, let's take action."
Following Yang Tong's order, Huangfu Wuyi and Duan Shihong, the only two generals among the ministers, came out at the same time. They cupped their fists and shouted at Yang Tong, then walked out of the inn through the side door. Immediately afterwards, Yang Tong Looking at the civil servants in front of him, he forced out a weird smile and said: "In this case, those adults can take action,"
After Yang Tong finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on everyone. The ministers were stared at by Yang Tong, and their hearts were frightened. They immediately bowed their hands to Yang Tong, and then they all walked out of the inn from the side door. After waiting until the last minister left, Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, looked at the night sky above his head, and said: "We just have to wait until tomorrow, everything will be settled until tomorrow."
Seeing Yang Tong talking to himself, Song Qian smiled and said to Yang Tong: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty. Now you just need to wait carefully. By tomorrow, Your Majesty will be able to get your wish. Your Majesty, please don't worry." "It's quite cold outside, so why not go to the room and rest,"
Yang Tong turned back and glanced at Song Qian, with a strange look on his face. Although he relied on the power behind Song Qian to be free, it did not mean that he would really trust Song Qian. What did the other party do? Yang Tong still didn't know what the ghost idea was, and because of this, Yang Tong was also secretly wary of this person. Yang Tong shook his head, but turned around again, continued to look at the night sky, and said: "I am waiting here, Whether it succeeds or not depends on God. I have to see if God is willing to help me."
After coming out of Songji Inn, Huangfu Wuyi and Duan Shihong immediately went their separate ways. The task assigned to them by Yang Tong was to contact the five generals who had been roped in to control the inner city garrison, and at the same time also It is necessary to command these generals to lead the army to control the other inner city defenders.
As soon as Huangfu Wuyi and Duan Shihong went out, they got on the carriage that had been prepared and rushed all the way towards the inner city gate. Soon, the carriage had already arrived at the city gate, but as soon as they arrived at the gate, The carriage was stopped. The people living in the inner city were all the important ministers of the court and relatives of the emperor. Therefore, at night, the inner city must be gated and no one could enter or exit at will.
Seeing that the carriage was stopped, Huangfu Wuyi, who was sitting in the carriage, took out a token from his arms and threw it out. It happened to be caught by the driver of the carriage, who then threw it out. The token was handed to the soldiers guarding the gate. When those soldiers looked at the token, they were immediately startled. They hurriedly held up the token with both hands and shouted: "It turns out that General Huangfu has arrived. I have offended many of you." , My general has already told me to invite the general into the city." After saying that, the soldiers immediately turned around and opened the city gate.
Huangfu Wuyi, who was in the carriage, took the token, glanced at Duan Shihong with a smile, and said with a smile: "I have made arrangements before. The person guarding the inner city gate tonight is the one I contacted before. General, as long as you start taking action, first of all, the inner city gate can be controlled. If you control this gate, the great task will be half done."
Duan Shihong also looked at Huangfu Wuyi with admiration, nodded and said: "General Huangfu is really powerful. No wonder the prince entrusts General Huangfu with important tasks. It seems that the general will have to learn more from General Huangfu in the future."
Huangfu didn't respond to Duan Shihong's praise. He just smiled, sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm just a little trick. The really powerful ones are Li Jing and Qin Qiong under Wan He. Both of them are talented generals, but it's a pity that they are helping the evil and working for Wanhe. If they are willing to be used by us, then there is no need to worry about the big trouble."
