"What?!"

"I do not understand"

Zhao Yanshen shook his head and looked at Duan Shao, "Da Sima may be too tired. I would rather die than work together with Wei Xiaokuan."

"Then what does Mr. Zhao think we should do?"

"I don't know. It's just that Wei Xiaokuan has a deep hatred for us. Has Grand Sima forgotten those comrades who died in his hands?"

"That was the past, it was different from today."

Duan Shao stood up and saluted Zhao Yanshen, "I ask Mr. Zhao to seriously consider this matter. I have made up my mind and will not change it easily. I will not watch the Qi Kingdom perish in front of my eyes."

Duan Shao said a few words, "I have evacuated all the soldiers, so Duke Zhao can leave everything as before."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the room.

The soldiers followed him one after another and disappeared into the distance. Zhao Yanshen watched the other party go away in amazement. Until the door was closed tightly and these people could no longer be seen, Zhao Yanshen turned his head with shock on his face.

He quickly disappeared and began to think deeply.

Could it be a scam?

Duan Shao got on his horse and staggered on the road. The solemnity on his face gradually disappeared at this moment. He half-squinted his eyes and glanced back at the Zhao Mansion in the distance, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

All the soldiers from Zhao Mansion have left.

Everyone in the Zhao Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Yanshen took the initiative to dismiss some of the slaves, leaving only a few.

It was as if nothing had happened in the city.

There are noble young men leading people to bully the market in the streets, and starving people gather together to patrol those tall houses with malicious intentions. Accompanied by several roars of cavalry and the cries of the people, everything is so...

It's normal and happy.

Zhao Yanshen finally drove to Duan Shao's house.

The soldiers and gatekeepers in front of the mansion stopped them, and after accepting the bribe as usual, they went in to report.

The two of them soon sat in the study and began to discuss this important matter.

Zhao Yanshen still had a sad look on his face, "Da Sima, I never thought that one day we would join forces with Wei Xiaokuan."

"Didn't you hate him the most in the past?"

"I'm disgusted, but what can I do? Do I have to surrender?"

"Tens of thousands of troops are in Jinyang, but there is no food and grass. Wei Xiaokuan cannot send food and grass over."

Zhao Yanshen sighed helplessly.

"Well, since Da Sima wants to do this, I won't object."

"Da Sima, how can I help you?"

Duan Shao took out the map from his pocket and put it aside. He had obviously read this map countless times, and there were some clear marks left on it, especially the Fen River and several corners of the river.

Duan Shao said calmly: "Liu Taozi's military government has not been established for a long time. I am not worried about them. I am worried about two people. One is Yao Xiong who is thief of Shuozhou, and the other is Tu Xiyue who is thief of Zhaozhou.

"

"Among them, Yao Xiong's troops were the strongest, with more than 10,000 soldiers from Shuozhou. Tu Xiyue's army, which was the original army of the Qing capital, Cheng'an soldiers, some Dingzhou soldiers, and the old soldiers of Kou Liu, were as many as Yao

The heroes are about the same, but their combat power is weak."

"I am ready to give an order to attack the enemy and make them fearful."

"Let Shediluo lead the army to approach Yangqu, and let Yao Xiong dare not not defend."

"Let Gao Fuhu lead the troops towards Leping to contain Tu Xiyue."

"Let Qilian fiercely lead troops to Rongzhou again to influence the enemy's judgment."

"When these three armies are ready to go out, I will lead the elite cavalry to escort the emperor to the city. In short, I will leave here."

Zhao Yanshen was a little stunned, "Can we still organize a large army to set off?"

"Of course, since we don't really want to go, just let them start organizing and make the enemy believe it."

Zhao Yanshen suddenly realized that he was going to war verbally.

Duan Shao then gave a very clear plan for the expedition. This plan was quite comprehensive. If the food and fodder for sending troops were not considered, it would really be possible to send troops to attack Liu Taozi with this strategy. Duan Shao was also extremely good at faking it.

After briefly describing his thoughts, Duan Shao hurriedly hid the map in his arms.

"Tomorrow I will announce the important events of the expedition."

"In five days, I will lead Baibao and the Emperor and leave here."

"At that time, three armies will leave at the same time, also to influence the enemy's judgment."

Zhao Yanshen listened in a daze and just nodded, "Then what do you need me to do?"

"Sit in the rear, coordinate the overall situation, prepare for the expedition, and let everyone believe that we are going to attack Liu Taozi. After I leave for twenty days, you can do whatever you want, and you can defect to Liu Taozi."

"Take it."

Duan Shao handed him a document.

"These are all things you can do after I leave. You must write them down and then burn them."

Zhao Yanshen lowered his head lonely, "Wei."

Zhao Yanshen left here.

The next day, Duan Shao indeed announced to everyone that he would go out to conquer Liu Taozi.

For a time, Jinyang was in turmoil.

Liu Taozi's reputation in Jinyang is not low. After winning continuously and defeating powerful enemies many times, the old Xianbei gang finally recognized this tiger general, and Liu Taozi was already qualified to compete for the leader position.

Many generals in the court had private contacts with Liu Taozi's subordinates.

After all, everyone used to be one family, and many of the generals' children and brothers even lived across the street.

Under such circumstances, Duan Shao wanted to attack Liu Taozi, which immediately aroused opposition from many people.

Duan Shao forcibly suppressed these opponents and began to actively prepare for the crusade against Liu Taozi. At this moment, no one in Jinyang could jump out to oppose Duan Shao. The little emperor was probably not very clear about this and could only be at a loss.

nod.

Duan Shao ordered his scribes to read out many of Liu Taozi's criminal evidence.

Liu Taozi was charged with as many as 47 counts.

When the scribes stood in the palace and read out Liu Taozi's crimes and wanted to inform the world, Liu Taozi no longer belonged to Qi.

He is no longer the general of Qi.

The emperor dismissed him from his official position, took back his title, and at the same time asked everyone in the world to follow him in crusade against Liu Taozi and kill the traitor.

Also deposed was Beida Daxingtai.

Jinyang unilaterally announced the removal of Beidao Daxingtai from now on, and at the same time dismissed many Xingtai officials including Gao Wei.

There were also generals from various places, such as Yao Xiong, Kou Liu, Zhang Heizu, Po Doluo and others, who were all dismissed together.

The only ones who survived were Gao Changgong, Bao Xian and others.

All the officials in the court stood there, listening to the official read out these things, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces.

Some people are happy, some are sad, and some are sad.

From now on, Qi Guo and Liu Taozi are openly enemies.

There will no longer be Liu Taozi, the great general of Qi.

Duan Shao even sent envoys to send these edicts to Liu Taozi's rule, so that these people would also know.

Officials in Yangqu were the first to receive the edict.

Faced with such an edict, there was no disturbance in the entire Yangqu.

"This must be a corrective edict issued by Duan Shao!"

"Duan Shao committed a heinous crime and committed regicide. Then he established a new emperor, took control of the temple, and issued false edicts to depose loyal ministers! He is a sycophant! He is a traitor!"

Shuo Governor Shi took the edict and said to everyone with a look of hatred on his face.

Tian Zili sat in the upper seat and couldn't help but shake his head after listening to his words.

"There is no need to correct the edict or the edict. It has nothing to do with us. What we are following is Cheng'an Shangong, not some Qi general."

The other officials nodded.

Chang Shi hurriedly said: "Tian Gong, that's what I said, but for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, especially those newly acquired lands, it's better to treat them with a corrective edict to appease the superiors and subordinates."

Tian Zili pursed his lips, "Actually, you are right. Duan Shao colluded with the Zhou people and even wanted to send the emperor to them. He is really a traitor."

"I have received extremely reliable news that Duan Shao is really planning to take the young emperor to the Zhou people and take a detour back to Heluo."
