Five or six generals of the Taishan Army gathered together, and the news that Gao Jin had left Xuchang spread quickly and surprisingly. This showed that Gao Jin was determined to fight for military power, which made Sun Guan and others very enthusiastic.
Lu Gu is indeed not satisfied with the Taishan Army. The biggest reason is that Lu Gu has too close contact with the aristocratic family, which makes the Taishan Army very angry. Most of the Taishan Army are from bad backgrounds and have always been incompatible with the aristocratic families, especially those who were once in the Taishan Army.
When Luocao became a bandit, he hijacked the property of many aristocratic families. This alone was enough to make both parties jealous. And now Lu Gu relies on the aristocratic family, which means that the Taishan Army is excluded from the circle of power. If it cannot be changed, sooner or later, one day
Those aristocratic families will liquidate them.
Sun Guandao: "Since Gao Jin has decided to come back to fight for military power, we will naturally side with Gao Jin. Why doesn't Brother Zang contact Yu Jin, Chen Qun and others?"
Wu Dun also agreed: "Brother Sun is right. If Lu Gu takes control of the military, I would rather go back to Mount Tai and become a bandit than surrender to him."
Everyone was excited and spoke one after another, all supporting Gao Jin. Why didn't Zang Ba not want Gao Jin to inherit the military power? He and Xu Si had a good relationship in the past, but recently they have become increasingly cold. Chen Gong and Gao Shun are so loyal.
The ungrateful people are all in jail. Who knows what will happen in the future.
He frowned for a long time and then said: "When Gao Jin arrives in Xiapi, we will contact him immediately. Is there any news from Zhang Wenyuan?"
Sun Kangdao: "Wen Yuan has never been close to others, but he got along well with Gao Jin. Gao Jin once rescued him, so he must be leaning towards Gao Jin."
Zang Ba nodded: "Mrs. Lu Gu doesn't know how high the sky is. She thinks that a few aristocratic families can stabilize the barrier. Hmph..." He snorted disdainfully and said, "Don't mention this matter to others, Sun Guan, you
Go to the military headquarters and walk around for a while to get some news."
Sun Guan agreed. At this time, someone came to report and came to visit Yu Jin.
Zang Ba frowned and said, "Yu Jin? What is he doing here at this time?"
After pondering for a moment, he said: "General Yu Jin, please come in and speak."
Not long after, Yu Jin strode in and saluted everyone with a smile. Everyone quickly returned the salute and asked Yu Jin to sit down. Zang Ba said: "General Yu Jin is not in the military police camp. Is there anything you can do to me?"
Yu Jin smiled and said: "I have a secret letter here, please read it, general."
Zang Ba was moved: "Whose letter is it from?"
Yu Jin said: "I am the Marquis of Dongwu."
Zang Ba said in disbelief: "Could it be that Marquis Dongwu has returned to Xiapi?"
Yu Jin laughed loudly: "Exactly."
"So fast?" Zang Ba found it incredible: "Cao Jun's messenger has just arrived, but they are already here."
Yu Jin said: "Marquis Dongwu caught up with Cao Jun's messenger, then put on the messenger's armor and seal, and went straight to Xiapi. No one stopped him along the way. The news that Marquis Dongwu left Xuchang came from him himself.
.”
Zang Ba smiled bitterly and said: "Hou Dongwu always acts unexpectedly. Who would have thought that he was the messenger." He cheered up and said, "In that case, why doesn't Hou Dongwu reveal his identity?"
Yu Jin smiled and said: "It's not the time yet. It's just that Dongwu Hou and the general can't make a deal without fighting. The general must have been informed of the current situation. I don't know which side the general is willing to stand on."
Zang Ba smiled slightly: "Since Marquis Dongwu revealed Xingzang to me, don't you still know which side he will be on? Take the letter and have a look."
When General Yu Jin enshrined the note, Zang Ba took a closer look and found that it was indeed Gao Jin's note. He laughed and said, "That's it, the big deal is settled. Everyone, let's wait and see the show."
……………………
On the surface, things were calm inside Xiapi City, but behind this quietness there was an undercurrent surging, ready to break out at any time. All kinds of news reached the military administration office, and Chen Qun collected it and finally sent it to a place in the backyard.
In the secret room…
Except for a very few people, even Lu Wanjun knew that Gao Jin had returned to Xiapi. He had always stayed here and never left, and the news from the whole city was gathered from here. Gao Jin
Then guess what may happen recently from various news.
Gao Jin frowned and read the letter indifferently. With a flash in his eyes, he said to Tian Feng beside him: "Lü Bu is dead!"
Tian Feng perked up: "Is the news confirmed?"
Gao Jin handed the slip in his hand to Tian Feng. Tian Feng read it carefully for a moment, and then said: "No one goes to the backyard of the Zhou Mu Mansion to deliver soup and medicine anymore. The Zhou Mu Mansion has added more guards. That's it."
, the palace must have experienced great changes, it seems that Lu Fengxian is really dead."
Gao Jin said: "If you were Lu Gu, what would you do?"
Tian Feng said without hesitation: "Lu Gu still doesn't know that when the general arrives in Xiapi, he will definitely spread the news as soon as possible and organize the funeral immediately. In this way, he can legitimately inherit his uncle's military power. When the general returns to Xiapi, everything will be over."
It’s too late.”
Gao Jin nodded: "Yes, so this news will spread soon, and the burial will only take a day or two. We don't have much time left."
Tian Feng said: "When does the general plan to take action?"
Gao Jin smiled slightly and said: "The day of the burial is the best. It is the time when you are least prepared. As long as I appear suddenly, Lu Gu will be caught off guard."
Tian Feng nodded and said: "This time is the most appropriate, but this matter still needs to be handled carefully."
Gao Jin smiled: "Yuan Hao, don't worry, Lu Gu will definitely fail this time."
……………………
As expected, bad news broke out in Xiapi City. News of the funeral came out. Lu Wanjun also set off for the Lu Mansion. Lu Gu wanted to be buried as soon as possible, so he summoned Xu Si and said, "Are you ready for the inheritance ceremony? Is there any news from the East China Sea?
, will Zhang Liao leave for Xiapi?"
Xu Bang said: "Everything is ready, young general, don't worry. Zhang Liao has also set off and will arrive at Xiapi tomorrow. Now, the young general only needs to take over as soon as possible, and everything will be worry-free."
Lu Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope everything goes smoothly. Ask Cao Xing to keep an eye on the military police camp. If they make any changes, they can put an end to the chaos immediately."
Xu Bang said: "There is nothing unusual in the gendarmerie camp. It's just that Yu Jin went to Zang Ba's place yesterday."
Lu Gu frowned and said, "Zang Ba can't be trusted. I will eliminate him after I take over."
Xu Si smiled slightly: "Young General, the top priority now is not to eradicate Zang Ba, but to Miss Lu."
"Wanjun?" Lu Gu was stunned for a moment.
Xu Bang said: "That's right. Miss Lu is Gao Jin's wife. The relationship between the two has always been cordial. This time Miss Lu comes to the government for funerals. Why doesn't the young general send more people to protect Miss Lu? If Gao Jin does something strange...
..." Lu Gu was shocked and said: "You want me to hold Wan Jun hostage to threaten Gao Jin?"
Xu Bang said calmly: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If Gao Jin really comes back and raises his arms, how will the young general deal with himself? With Miss Lu here, the young general will at least have an extra layer of barrier."
Lu Gu hesitated for a moment with a livid face: "If this is the case, wouldn't it make everyone in the world laugh? Let's discuss this matter later."
Xu Bang said: "General, please don't be kind to women. The date of burial is tomorrow. Everything depends on the result tomorrow. The young general should make a decision early."
Lu Gu could only say sadly: "It's up to you to handle this matter. Don't hurt my sister."
