I received a notice from the editor and it has been put on the shelves. To be honest, it was a bit sudden to learn the news. I have been catching a cold recently and I feel a little bit sicker. The author relies on subscriptions to make a living. Everyone who can afford it, try to subscribe as much as possible. If you really can’t, there is nothing to say.
Yes, it only costs one pack of cigarettes a month. Thank you very much.
…
Xu Bang suddenly raised his eyes, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said to Chen Qun: "I'm going to see the young general right away. I'll tell you, in charge of the army and the post, you have to keep a close eye on the movements in the city in the past few days, and you can't make any mistakes."
Chen Qun nodded and left.
Xu Bang then asked people to prepare the carriage and horses and prepare to go to see Lu Gu. The steward next to him whispered: "Do you believe in Chen Qun so much? What if this person is pretending to be a coward, but is actually a high-spirited insider?"
Xu Bang laughed and said: "So what? Gao Jin is far away in Xuchang, the master is critically ill, and they have no time to rush back. Now our enemy is Chen Gong. Only by getting rid of Chen Gong can we get greater leverage from the Major General. Regardless of Chen Qun
Whether it is true or false, as long as it can be used temporarily, why not use it, and it will not be too late to deal with it in the future."
The steward said nothing more and ordered people to prepare carriages and horses and send Xu Si to Lu Gu's residence, where he sent famous assassins to pay him a visit.
When Lu Gu asked to see him, his expression was not good, and he said to Xu Bang: "My uncle is no longer what he used to be. I'm afraid I have to prepare his funeral arrangements in advance."
Xu Bang pretended to be surprised and said: "I was still somewhat energetic a few days ago, how come it has deteriorated to this point today?"
Lu Gu sighed, he still had some conscience, and said with an unkind expression: "What will I do if my uncle dies?"
Lu Gu obviously didn't have the consciousness to inherit yet. Although he was ambitious, he was a little nervous, fearing that he would not be able to control the situation.
Xu Bang said: "The young general has worried too much. Now that Cao Xing has controlled the security of the four gates and has the support of the family, not to mention the young general's reputation, what worries are there? The top priority is to eradicate the traitors in the city and eliminate Gao Jin."
The right way is to have wings."
Lu Gu nodded his head and said in agreement: "There are five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, all of them are in the hands of the man named Yu Jin. In addition, there are also military and administrative offices. Can they be eradicated at the same time?"
Xu Bang smiled and shook his head: "That's bad, Major General. These people are indeed Gao Jin's best friends, but if the Major General wants to eradicate them, they will definitely resist. If there is trouble when General Lu passes away, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for people to be killed?"
Really, give people control? It is precisely these buddies who must not move lightly, but they can plan it slowly, otherwise once they start an uprising in the city, the outcome will be unpredictable. What's more, Zang Ba and others have been waiting to see which direction the wind will take. If these people start an uprising,
, who can guarantee that Zang Ba and the others will not comply? In this case, the young general will be in danger."
Lu Gu also looked frightened and uneasy. This military police battalion was indeed too big to be defeated. Although there were only five thousand in number, they were all elites who had accompanied Gao Jin through life and death. If they really wanted to go head-to-head, the military power in Lu Gu's hands might not be enough to eradicate them.
The certainty, coupled with the factor of Zang Ba's neutral army, made him dare not act rashly. He said: "Besides, who else is Gao Jin's wing?"
Xu Bang smiled slightly: "Chen Gong and Gao Shun!"
Lu Gu said in disbelief: "These two people have become loyal to me and have turned against Gao Jin. Is Mr. Xu just being alarmist?"
Xu Bang shook his head and said: "The young general is bad." He lowered his voice and said: "According to the recent secret report, Chen Gong and Gao Shun have been inquiring about the lord's condition recently, and these days he and several of Gao Jin's confidants
There are also contacts from time to time, it is said... It is said..."
Lu Gu frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, it's okay to just say so."
Xu Bang said: "It is said that Chen Gong once told people that the young general is just a yellow-mouthed man. How can he shoulder the lord's trust? He also said that if the lord chooses someone unclearly, he will cause a big disaster sooner or later."
"Is this true?" Lu Gu was furious, but also had a hint of suspicion...
Xu Bang said: "Major General, please don't forget how close Gao Jin was to these two people at that time? Did they take the Major General seriously at that time? Now that they have suddenly cut off contact with Gao Jin, who knows what will happen next
Will there be any intentions in the future? The young general must not get involved in danger. It is a top priority now. The best way to survive is to kill rather than let go. If these two people are really involved with Gao Jin, the young general and I will die without burial!"
Lu Gu's face was ashen and he sneered: "After Mr. Xu reminded me, I remembered some old things. Chen Gong recommended Gao Jin more than once in front of his uncle, saying that he had extraordinary talents and asked his uncle to entrust him with important tasks. My sister Wan Jun married
As for Gao Jin, Chen Gong also contributed a lot behind the scenes. It seems that he and Gao Shun really have wild ambitions. What do you think Mr. Xu should do?"
Xu Bang said: "To eradicate these two people, it only takes a hundred swords and axes. The Major General can invite them to a banquet. If these two people want to win the Major General's trust, they will definitely come happily. At that time, the Major General will throw a cup as a sign.
All the swordsmen and axemen rush out and capture them."
Lu Gushang hesitated a little and said, "Chen Gong is my uncle's confidant. If I take him away, how should I explain to my uncle?"
Xu Bang pursed his lips disapprovingly: "Young General, my lord is critically ill. How can I repay my lord for such things? The Young General can make the decision."
Lu Gu finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, we will hold a banquet tonight." It was rare for him to make up his mind, and his arms were shaking with excitement at this time.
After a pause, Lu Gu continued to ask: "I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to survive a few days. He wants to see Wanjun. Should he send someone to invite Wanjun?"
Xu Bang shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. Miss Lu is already a very cautious woman. We must not let her know the news that our lord is critically ill. The Major General can order people to seal off the backyard. No news can be leaked, and Miss Lu cannot be visited.
.Even if the master dies of illness, I’m afraid the mourning will have to be kept secret for some time.”
Lu Gu nodded and said: "I thought the same thing, but my uncle wants to see my sister..."
Xu Bang said: "Young general, don't pay attention. If there is any mistake in this matter, we will all be in danger. This is an emergency, and we should do extraordinary things."
……………………
But Chen Qun returned to his mansion that night. He heard that Chen Gong and Gao Shun had been invited to a banquet by Lu Gu. They did not come back until night, so they quickly sent someone to inquire, only to find out that they had been captured by Lu Gu.
, was already in jail.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but Yu Jin, Qiao Rui, and Li Feng came to see him all night. When the three of them heard the news, they were all excited. Yu Jin said to Chen Qun: "Mr. Chen, Lu Gu has captured Chen Gong. Gao Shun, are you with me?"
Is it related to Lu Bu’s condition?”
Chen Qun also felt suspicious at this time. His alienation plan had never expected to be effective so quickly. After all, as long as Lu Bu's condition had not worsened to the point where he could not stay, Lu Gu would never kill Chen Gong or Gao Jin.
, these two people are the assistants selected by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu will definitely stop them.
However, we went to see Xu Si during the day, and Lu Gu took someone away at night. Can this be inferred that Lu Bu could no longer see, was bedridden, and was seriously ill?
He pondered for a moment and said: "There is no accurate news yet. Why don't we ask the mistress to visit tomorrow and make further calculations?"
