"Wait!" Zhao Junsheng stopped Zhao Ping, who was about to lead someone ahead, and told him: "The situation in Hanoi is complicated, and even the officials of Xingyang and other surrounding counties may be involved in the case of corruption of river water treatment projects." , This is a huge network of interests, their power is astonishingly large, you must be careful when you go here, don't trust anyone easily, but don't treat all officials as enemies, I still believe that most officials are good! "

"Father, don't worry, my son understands!"

Three days later, the army arrived near Tongguan.

As the vanguard, Li Bao arrived at the foot of Tongguan City with a group of Dragon Guards. More than [-] cavalry running caused a lot of noise, and they were discovered by the Tongguan defenders from a long distance away. The defenders immediately shouted orders to close the city gate. , The people who enter and leave the city are isolated.

Li Bao rushed to Tongguan City with 300 troops and immediately slashed his sword. He yelled at the tower: "I am Li Bao, General of the Dragon Guard. Who is the general guarding Tongguan?"

Now that the world is peaceful, the role of Tongguan is not great. The imperial court only deployed 300 troops here, led by a general. There is no one who has not heard of Li Bao's name.

The guard calmed down and stretched out his head to respond loudly: "The last general Yuan Kang paid a visit to General Li. I don't know why General Li brought his troops here? The last general has not received any official documents from the imperial court!"

Li Bao said in a loud voice: "His Majesty's imperial chariot is just ten miles away. I was ordered to be the vanguard to negotiate with the city gate guards along the way, so as not to hinder and delay the journey of His Majesty's army!"

Yuan Kang wondered: "General Li, the last general is the guard of this gate, so he has to be responsible for the security of this gate. There is no official customs clearance letter from the court, please forgive me, the general will not be able to let him go!"

Li Bao was furious: "The Dragon Guards guard His Majesty's safety. Wherever Your Majesty is, the Dragon Guards are there. Your Majesty is the biggest customs clearance document. If His Majesty is here, do you want His Majesty to produce a customs clearance document? You are so stubborn and don’t know how to adapt, is it because someone above ordered you to kill the emperor, and you have to do it?”

"The last general is timid, the general should stop making such jokes!" Yuan Kang was startled, he thought for a while and asked: "The last general is small and humble, and he has never seen the honor of General Li Bao. The general may prove himself identity of?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "whoosh", and an arrow shot past Yuan Kang's ear.

With a "boom", the arrow nailed to the wall of the tower behind him.

A guard soldier took off the arrow and the belt hanging on it and handed it to Yuan Kang.

Yuan Kang took the arrow and took a look. The arrow shaft was engraved with the special words of the Dragon Guard Army. The weapons of Daqian are all standard equipment, and each army has special equipment.

Only seeing this arrow, Yuan Kang was half-believed. Then he looked at the waist tag hanging on the arrow shaft. It was a white jade waist tag.

Because of the large number of soldiers under very long and ordinary soldiers, waist tags can only be made of wood, but hard and non-perishable wood is also used. After engraving their names and serial numbers, they are painted with waterproof and moisture-proof; Waist badges made of stamped blocks; bronze waist badges for generals above buildings and below generals; only general-level waist badges are eligible to use jade waist badges.

"Longwei General Li Bao!"

Li Bao, the general of the Dragon Guard Army, has been working for nearly 20 years and has been with the emperor. There are very few people in the world who don't know about this. It was carved by specialized craftsmen of Si Yamen, the pattern on the waist card is complicated, if it is imitated, it is easy to see the flaws.

Yuan Kang was basically sure that the general outside the city was Li Bao. He heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his fists and said, "It turns out that it is General Li. The general has eyes but does not know Mount Tai. Please forgive me. The general will order people to open the city." The door welcomes the royal driver!"

As the city gate creaked open, Yuan Kang came out with some soldiers.

"The last general pays his respects to the general!"

Li Bao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's getting late now, Yu Jia may have to stay in Tongguan, please ask General Yuan to order someone to clean up the room, and also order someone to prepare for the army's camp!"

Yuan Kang immediately said: "The general does not know the situation of the accompanying army. If he is not careful enough and angers Sheng Jia, he will not be able to afford it. I will ask the general to preside over everything, and the general will fully cooperate!"

Li Bao nodded: "It's so good!"

Next, Li Bao and Yuan Kang worked together to set up the camp and the emperor's palace before Zhao Junsheng's army arrived.

After dinner, Zhao Junsheng walked around the room in Tongguan City with his hands behind his back, thinking about the possible impact and damage after the rebellion, thinking about how to deal with it by surprise.

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for Wang Tanzhi to see you!" The eunuch outside the door came in and reported.

Zhao Junsheng turned around, "Let him in!"

Wang Tanzhi walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the news of Dou Kui's rebellion reached Chang'an only at noon yesterday. The court ministers were greatly shocked. Pei Jin and others worried that His Majesty's troops are too few to deal with the rebellion. The army wanted to send additional troops for reinforcements, but was stopped by Liang Ji and others. They believed that the rebel army was small in size and power, so there was no need to send additional troops, and because of the disaster relief, the treasury was already empty. It will be a huge expenditure burden, I am afraid that the court will not even survive this year!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The official news delivery is two days later than that of the Hou lawsuit and the Huangcheng Secretary, but the news from the local government should be more comprehensive, right?"

"Yes, the court has not received follow-up news. The official letter submitted by the local government to the court contains follow-up news about the rebels. The Hanoi garrison arrived in Huai County the next morning, but the rebels were in Hanoi. Before arriving, he had already left Huai County and headed eastward, and the town guards have already caught up!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, walked to the desk and took out a blank edict, dipped his pen in the ink and thought for a while, and wrote down an edict to crusade against the rebels. Then take out the emperor's treasure and seal it.

Zhao Junsheng rolled up the edict and put it in a long tube, and said to the eunuch standing aside: "Yuan Huan, take the Dragon Guards with one tooth with you, and take this edict to Luoyang, Qizhou, Ye The garrison troops in cities and other places issued an edict, ordering them to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebels after receiving the order!"

"No!" Eunuch Yuan Huan agreed with a bow, stretched out his hands to receive the edict and retreated.

Three days later, Yuan Huan came to Jinyong City in the north of Luoyang with the edict and a group of Dragon Guards. This is the acronym of Luoyang City. The general is veteran Lu Gui.

Lu Gui is 63 years old, and he is still young and strong. He is the father of Lu Shuang. He has led the army for many years and has experienced countless wars, big and small. There is no problem with his loyalty.

Outside Jinyong City, a group of cavalry came quickly with banners.

The general on duty on the city wall frowned when he saw this and said, "In the name of the emperor's envoy? Come, hurry up and report to the general!"

After a while, the team under the banner of the emperor's envoy came to the city, and the veteran Lu Gui also came to the city wall.

"Is Old General Lu here? Our family is Your Majesty's close servant Yuan Huan, and we are here to announce the decree!"

Lu Gui saw that this group of troops had only one tooth, but they were very imposing. Seeing that the equipment was unique to the Dragon Guards, he thought for a while and ordered: "Open the city gate, and all the generals will follow me to welcome the angel!"

Two quarters later, Lu Gui and other generals led Yuan Huan and some soldiers of the Dragon Guards to the lobby.

Yuan Huan opened the edict, and Lu Gui and others bowed down to receive the edict.

After finishing reading, Lu Gui and others answered the order loudly.

After getting up, Lu Gui asked: "Eunuch Yuan, can the veteran take a look at the imperial edict?"

Yuan Huan was a little unhappy, "The old general suspects that there is something wrong with the edict?"

"No, no, my general also wanted to be cautious. After all, mobilizing an army is not a trivial matter!" The master next to him hurriedly smoothed things over.

Yuan Huan handed over the edict in displeasure.

Lu Gui took a look at it, with a puzzled expression on his face, he pulled the master aside and said in a low voice, "How did this edict be altered to look like this? Could it be true or false?"

The master took a look at the imperial edict, raised his head and said: "Don't worry, general, it will be clear when the subordinates ask!"

Chapter 932 Shocking

Turning around, the master smiled and bowed to Yuan Huan: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, where is Your Majesty Yujia now?"

Yuan Huan looked at the master in surprise, and said casually: "Your Majesty should have passed through Shanzhou at this moment, and will arrive in Luoyang soon!"

The master said again: "Yu Jia's coming here is a temporary decision, is it very hasty?"

Yuan Huan looked at Master with a surprised expression: "How do you know?"

The master showed a smile on his face, saluted Lu Gui and said, "General, that's right. Since your Majesty left Beijing in a hurry and there were no officials to serve him, he had to write the imperial edict in his own hand. You like this handwriting. The general has written many times before. Your Majesty, Your Majesty has given many instructions in his replies, and the handwriting on this edict is the same as that on His Majesty's replies. Therefore, it can be concluded that this edict was written by His Majesty himself, and this seal is the emperor's treasure, belonging to His Majesty. Private seals are usually carried with you! Therefore, this imperial edict is undoubtedly true!"

Lu Gui immediately returned the imperial edict to Yuan Huan, clasped his fists and said, "Please reply to your majesty, my father-in-law. The general will prepare food, grass and supplies, and gather troops to fight the rebellion!"

"That's great, but our family can't go back to report to His Majesty, and we have to go to places such as Qifu, Qizhou and Yecheng to pass the edict, so I bid farewell!"
