Outside Xiangyang City, the prefect of Xiangyang County, Wu Qun personally led more than 500 county soldiers to surround the Nanhan ship tour. This is a large ship tour with nearly a thousand cargo ships, controlling nearly half of the Han water cargo transportation. Wu Qun has obtained the exact news.
This boat trip is the base of the Nanhua Association in Xiangyang County. "Please know the domain name."
Since Wu Qun reported the memorial of the South China Association to the South China Association was rejected by the court because of insufficient evidence, he collected evidence from the South China Association like crazy. Hard work pays off. Wu Qun captured a member of the South China Association, who could not stand it.
He was tortured and confessed, and the Nanhan ship was the stronghold of the Nanhua Association in Xiangyang.
Wu Qun was extremely excited at this time. He received a report from the spy that there might be a big figure from the South China Association in the ship, so he immediately led the county soldiers to arrest him.
"Roar in! Arrest everyone and collect documents and letters!"
Dozens of county soldiers hugged the giant trees and hit the men. With several loud noises of "boom!", the men were knocked away, and five hundred county soldiers rushed in.
There is indeed a great figure in the ship's ship, which is the leader of the South China Association. The South China Association has developed rapidly in the past two years. From county officials and soldiers to soldiers and vendors, it has more than 100,000 congregations, and with the emergence of the world's great luan.
, Xiao Xian also realized that the time for the uprising was about to ripe. Since this year, he has basically been running around, raising money and food, and accumulating strength.
He happened to be in Xiangyang County these days, but unexpectedly he was betrayed. At this time, he could hear the big men being hit and 'dong! ' 'dong!' sound. Xiao Xian and several followers quickly sprinkled fire oil in the room.
The room was filled with all kinds of letters and documents, and he couldn't take it away, so he could only burn it with a fire.
At this time, there was a loud bang in the ground, and the big men were knocked away. A follower said anxiously: "Master, go!"
Xiao Xian nodded, and he walked to the corner of the house and lifted up an iron plate. Below was a dark stone staircase. This was a secret passage for the boat. It was about a hundred steps long and went straight to the dock. It was at every stronghold of the Nanhua Society.
There will be such a secret escape passage.
Xiao Xian walked into the secret passage, and the last follower lit the tincture on the ground. He quickly entered the secret passage and covered the iron plate above his head. The fire in the room spread rapidly, thick smoke rolled, and the fire was fierce, and in a moment he swallowed the entire room.
.
In less than half an hour, the county soldiers escaped from the boat in a mess. They found nothing except to catch more than a dozen friends, and even the shopkeeper did not know where to go. At this time, the fire had swallowed the entire boat and thick smoke filled the sky.
The prefect Wu Qun was so angry that he stamped his feet and scolded the county soldiers for being incompetent.
On a boat on the Han River in the distance, Xiao Xian looked at the thick smoke rolling into the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of complex expressions. Xiangyang County is an important area of the Nanhua Society, with nearly 20,000 congregations alone. If something happens to Xiangyang County, you will find that there are nearly 20,000 people.
, This will affect his entire plan.
At this time, Xiao Jieti, the manager of the ship next to him and the branch leader of Xiangyang County, advised him: "Master, now the world is the great Luan, and even Yuan and Yang Xuangan have rebelled. Can we also consider rebelling?"
"No!"
Xiao Xian shook his head without hesitation: "The time is not yet ripe, the Sui army is still strong, with unified command from the zhongyang court, we are not ordinary people, if we rebel, we will inevitably be valued by the Emperor of Sui and send a large army to attack.
To destroy us, we still need to endure and wait."
"However, the situation in Xiangyang is not good, and the government is pursuing it. Bei Zhi is very worried that something will happen to Xiangyang County."
Xiao Xian sneered with his hands behind his back, "Don't worry! The matter in Xiangyang County will be left unresolved."
After a whole day of busyness, the prefect Wu Qun returned to his home exhausted. The prefect Wu Qun's home is not far from the county government office. It is an official house covering an area of nearly ten acres, living with Wu Qun, his wives, concubines and several children. nv.
"Master, where are you?" As soon as he entered the mansion, his wife asked him.
Wu Qun's eldest son is Wu Zhuo. He is eighteen years old this year and is studying in the official school. Wu Qun was stunned and asked strangely: "How do I know where he is? Isn't he in the official school?"
"Master, didn't you send someone to the county government to help organize the documents in the afternoon?"
Wu Qun's face turned pale and he took two steps back. He almost didn't stand firm and held the big men.
"Master, what's wrong? Is something wrong?" His wife also felt something was wrong and panicked.
At this moment, a servant ran in panic, "Master, the young master was taken away by a carriage, and the gentleman was knocked unconscious to the ground."
Wu Qun's third son Wu Han was only seven years old. He followed Zhang Jie, a famous scholar in Xiangyang City, to study and sent him back every morning and evening. When Wu Qun heard that his youngest son was also taken away, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and fainted on the ground.
"Master! Master!" The prefect's mansion was filled with a group of people.
The next morning, more than a dozen friends on the Nanhan ship trip were released. The prefect Wu Qun ordered the county soldiers to return to the camp. Xiangyang County's investigation into the Nanhua Association suddenly stopped. Everything seemed to have not happened. A month later, the prefect Wu Qun's youngest son returned home, but the eldest son had no news. At night, the sky was dark, and the rain and mist filled the fields. In the gray rain and mist, a team of cavalry came to Jinyang Gongcang City, north of Taiyuan City.
Pei Ji, the Jinyang Palace Superintendent who had been waiting for the big men, came up and bowed and smiled, "I have been waiting for the envoy for a long time."
The person who was on the horse was Li Yuan, the left-behind Taiyuan. He was awarded the title of Zijin Guanglu Dafu and the General of the Right Guard for his contribution to the suppression of Yuan Shangwu. He was a high-ranking official. When he was the prefect of Loufan County, he was with Pei Ji, who was the Sima of Dingxiang County at that time. The relationship was very good. Pei Ji was recommended by his old boss Zhou Fashang and was transferred to the position of the Jinyang Palace Supervisor. The two of them became officials in the same place, and their relationship became deeper.
Tonight, Li Yuan was invited by Pei Ji to visit Jinyang Gongcang City on a rainy night.
Li Yuan turned over and dismounted and bowed back to his gift, "Pei Gongguan, there is no problem tonight!"
"It's okay! It's my person on duty tonight, so I can rest assured."
Pei Ji bowed to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin who were following Li Yuan again, "The two men are here too."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin bowed and bowed together, "I'll bother Uncle Shi tonight."
Pei Ji smiled, "Everyone comes with me!"
Everyone put their horses at the mouth and followed Pei Ji to the warehouse city. Under the night sky, huge warehouses stood in the rain and fog.
Everyone walked into a grain warehouse, and the piles of grain made everyone amazed, but Pei Ji stroked his beard and smiled: "In fact, there are only 20,000 stones of grain here, and there are thirty such warehouses in the warehouse city."
Li Shimin asked, "To put it this way, there are a total of 600,000 stones of grain stored in Cangcheng. Have you always kept so much?"
Pei Ji shook his head, "In fact, Cangcheng can accommodate up to one million stones of grain, usually storing 500,000 stones, but because of the Battle of Goryeo, most of them were transported to Zhuo County, and now Cangcheng only has 100,000 stones."
Li Yuan said nothing and nodded, and Li Jiancheng asked again: "How many soldiers are there?"
Pei Ji smiled slightly, "Young Master, don't be anxious, please come with me!"
Pei Ji took them out of the granary again, walked two miles in the dark, and came to the Bingjiaku area. A servant pushed open the warehouse men.
From the outside, the warehouse is not big, but after entering the warehouse, everyone discovered that the warehouse was huge, about five feet high, with a total of five layers, and layered with armor, mainly two-stage armor and bright light armor. Pei Ji
After patting the dust on a bundle of armor, he turned around and smiled at everyone, "A set of armor, a set of armor, a spear, a horizontal knife, a bow, a pot of arrows, and a pot of arrows, and
A round shield, this is the complete equipment of a soldier. There are 400,000 soldiers and armor in the entire Jinyang Palace Cang City, which are placed in twenty warehouses. Each soldier armor has a number. Weiwei Temple and the Ministry of War every six months.
Let’s investigate once. Since the incident of King Qi, the investigation has been more strict. One less thing will be killed."
Pei Jiyan’s implication was to tell Li Yuan that it was not the time to touch them. Li Yuan understood his implication, and nodded and said to Li Jiancheng: “Take Shimin around and take a look!”
Li Jiancheng understood what his father meant and pulled Li Shimin into the warehouse, "Let's go and see the weapons."
Seeing that there was no one beside him, Li Yuan asked Pei Ji in a low voice, "Today I received the emperor's will, asking me to recruit militia and prepare to participate in the fight against the rebellion, what do you think?"
Pei Ji narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard and asked, "What about Brother Shude's thoughts?"
Li Yuanchen yin said: "Actually, I think this is an opportunity, and recruiting militias can be used for me."
Pei Ji shook his head, "I understand what the envoy means, but the Yuan family also recruited si troops, and Yang Xuangan also recruited si troops themselves, and there were tens of thousands of people, but were their si troops useful in the end? They were also defeated,
So even if the envoy recruits 10,000 or 20,000 militias, what's the point?"
Pei Ji looked at both sides and whispered: "The Master destroyed the Yuan family, who would that target be?"
Li Yuan was shocked and blurted out, "Dugu!"
Pei Ji reminded him again, "Dugu is a relative of the foreign country after all, and it is difficult for the emperor to attack directly, so just go around and start with the envoy. If the envoy's handle is caught, not only will the envoy's whole family be executed, Dugu's family, Dou
Even the clan cannot escape, one arrow can kill three birds with one stone!”
Li Yuan then suddenly realized that he was located on the crossing point between Dugu and Dou. He could eliminate Dugu and Dou in one fell swoop. Yang Guang really made a good method.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan said to Pei Ji with emotion: "Thanks to my husband's reminder, Li Yuan almost made a big mistake."
Pei Ji smiled slightly, "I have a good eagle in my place. You may as well offer it to the emperor. Also, you may as well occupy more land and houses, drink more wine, and do government affairs! Don't ask more questions."
"I see!"
Half a month later, the censor Pei Yun's carriage was stopped by a group of people in front of the imperial city.
Dozens of people kowtowed and shouted: "Please be the judge of the little people!"
Pei Yun frowned, leaned out from the car window and shouted, "Who are you?"
An old man in a well-dressed dress came forward and said tremblingly: "Civil Pei, we are from Taiyuan, we want to sue Li Yuan, the left-behind Taiyuan, to occupy the people's land!"
