Yang Yanzhao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's still too early to help. What Lord Leng will face is the distrust of the officials and the conspiracy of the prince. If we want to help Lord Leng, we must be careful and don't go anywhere.

It was a disservice at the time.”

Yang Ye nodded: "Yan Zhao is right, you must be especially careful in the future."

Yang Dalang said: "I think Commander Leng is not easy either. He must have a way to deal with Prince Zhao Yuanzuo. We just need to obey his command then. Don't make our own decisions. Before that, we must control our troops as soon as possible so that we can

When Lord Leng needs us, we can pull him out, help him, and win the battle."

The Yang family generals were talking about helping Leng Yi, and Leng Yi was discussing with Huarui how to help the Yang family generals solve the problem in the house.

When Huarui saw Leng Yi, it was better than a wedding after a long absence. However, Leng Yi thought that he had originally visited Queen Huarui to report on the inspection and Shi Shouxin and others, so it was inconvenient to change clothes. However, Huarui had not seen Leng for a long time.

Yi.or

The reporter said that it had been a long time since he had seen his late husband Meng Chang, played by Leng Yi. Still using the excuse of discussing confidential matters, he boldly backed away, closed the door, took out the human skin mask hidden in his arms and asked Leng Yi to put it on.

, threw herself into his arms and felt tenderness for a while.

Hua Rui leaned against him, looked up at him, and said affectionately: "If you don't come, I will send someone to find you."

"You miss me so much?"

"Of course!" Hua Rui couldn't help but kiss him, "In addition to missing you, I also have an important matter to discuss with you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Huarui stood up, took a piece of urgent military information from the table and handed it to Leng Yi: "This is the urgent military information I just received from the government yesterday. Take a look at it first."

Leng Yi quickly browsed through the results. Zhao Guangyi said that his 200,000 Xiang troops had entered the Liao Kingdom and rushed to Zhuozhou. They were preparing to march to Youzhou. They did not encounter any major resistance along the way. They should be able to reach Youzhou soon.

Under the city of Youzhou (today's Beijing). The capture of Youzhou was just around the corner. But after receiving the news,

Reinforcements from the Liao army were arriving, so Huarui was ordered to ask Cao Bin and Shi Shouxin to urgently mobilize part of the imperial army. The troops were divided into two groups and secretly assembled in the Yizhou area. They were prepared to wait for Zhao Guangyi to withdraw his troops and then support them, outflanking the retreat route of the Liao army.

Then all the Forbidden Army launched a full-scale attack, trying to completely annihilate the main force of the invading Liao army.

After Leng Yi read it, he said, "Have you told Shi Shouxin?"

Huarui shook his head: "I know you will return to the capital soon, and I am not in a hurry, so I will wait for you to come back to make a decision."

"Then you don't have to tell him. Because he has been put on death row by me."

"Ah? Why?" Hua Rui was shocked.

Leng Yi then told the story about Shi Shouxin and his son. Huarui was very surprised and asked: "What are you going to do? Do you really want to ruthlessly kill his nine tribes?"

Leng Yi shook his head and said: "I personally caught his son and two other princes-in-law smuggling arms to the Liao Kingdom. There is no doubt about it. However, he should be responsible for the smuggling alone and will not be implicated."

Nine tribes. However, Shi Shouxin transferred the

The Forbidden Army smuggled his son, but this was not something a person like him could do. According to my estimation, he did not know at this time, let alone that his son was collaborating with the enemy and preparing to rebel. The reason why he admitted it, I think, there must be something fishy in it.

As for what the problem is, I don’t have a clue yet.”

"Shi Shouxin is the founding father after all. The officials have placed high hopes on him and are planning to let him lead troops to support the officials and lure the enemy. At this juncture, we still need to find out clearly."

"I thought so too."

"He has been imprisoned. What about leading the troops to Yizhou?"

"Almost all the generals available to the imperial court have gone to the north with the officials. The only ones left in the capital are Shi Shouxin and his son."

"How about Yang Ye and his seven sons? He is the most respected general."

Leng Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "They are surrendered generals. Let them directly lead the main force of the Song Dynasty to fight. I'm afraid the officials will not agree."

"That's right, by the way, how did you arrange them?"

"I have appointed Yang Ye, Liu Lang, and Dalang as the chamber masters. The others have not been well arranged yet. Based on their abilities, I would like to appoint them all as chamber masters of the third yamen, but there is no vacancy yet."

Huarui smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. Can't you just adjust the appointment directly to whatever official position you plan to give them?"

Leng Yi shook his head: "It was okay before, but now, the officials seem to be worried about me. They have placed Zhao Yuanzuo beside me, and they have a hand ready to deal with me."

Hua Rui was shocked: "What's going on?"

"Zhao Yuanzuo leaked something today at a meeting of senior officers of the Forbidden Army. He revealed that the officials gave him a military talisman for mobilizing troops, and asked him to mobilize the Imperial Army to arrest me and annihilate my so-called treason if he found out that I had the intention of treason.

Comrade!"

Huarui was stunned: "How could the official family do this?"

"There is nothing impossible." Leng Yi said: "The officials were suspicious by nature, so they made me the commander of the imperial army and asked me to take control of the military as soon as possible. However, he also sent Zhao Yuanzuo to monitor me, and even authorized him to take action against me if necessary.

This gives me some chills.”

Huarui leaned against him and said softly: "Don't worry, he is just such a person. I believe that as long as you have no real intention to rebel, he will not do anything to you."

"It's hard to say!" Leng Yi sighed, "Some unfounded charges can be laid on him."

Huarui nodded and said: "In this case, we can't sit still and wait for death. We must make some preparations. He'd better not make any wrong ideas, otherwise, we can't wait for the butcher's knife to be placed on his neck."

"Well, that's what I think too. I didn't have a good idea before. Now, after reading the emergency military situation from the government, I have an idea. I can take care of the danger. Can I tell you about it? Can you take a look?"

Huarui smiled: "Meng Lang's plan is definitely the best. Just tell me, I will just follow it."

So Leng Yi whispered in Hua Rui's ear for a long time. Hua Rui nodded repeatedly.

Leng Yi did not dare to delay for too long. After discussing it, he said goodbye. He and Huarui had already agreed that Huarui would issue an order to reward the generals of the Yang family with the original mansion of Xiao Zhouhou as a residence. If they achieve military exploits in the future,

.Build new mansions for them.

The Queen's decree came soon. Yang Ye and others were very surprised and grateful when they heard about it. So, the whole family moved to the new house. Xiao Zhouhou was very calm about this. She had already made an engagement with Leng Yi.

, people who already regard themselves as the Leng family have nothing to miss about the old house.

Then, Leng Yi began to investigate Shi Shouxin's affairs.

His focus was on the generals of the Song Army who led troops to the border. At that time, the two battalions of the horse army guards Si Longwei and the left wing were transferred. The commanders of these two battalions had been captured alive by Leng Yi.

Because I didn't know about Shi Shouxin at the time, I didn't do an in-depth interrogation. Now, they must be interrogated.

The first person to be interrogated was Xu Hou, the commander of the first battalion.

Leng Yi first asked again about their smuggling, and then, seemingly casually, Leng Yi asked: "You need to mobilize military symbols to leave the city, and the city gate officer will let you go. How did you get out?"

"When we leave the city, we have military talismans..."

"Oh?" Leng Yi raised his eyebrows. "Who gave you the military talisman for mobilizing troops?"

"Well..." Xu Hou obviously felt a little regretful that he had let slip his words. However, it was too late to change his words. He lowered his head and said nothing.

Leng Yi sneered: "Don't think that I can't find out if you don't tell me. It's very simple, just ask the city gate official. The reason why I ask you directly is to let you have a good attitude. Don't you

Do you know how serious the crime you committed is?"

Xu Hou's body trembled for a moment, then he finally raised his head and said, "Yes, it was issued by the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo."

"Really?" Leng Yi's heart trembled. In this way, Zhao Yuanzuo at least has the troop deployment talismans of the Palace Guards Department and the Ma Jun Guards! He placed the Yang family generals in Ma Jun. If he didn't mobilize the troops,

The talisman has no effect. It cannot fight against Zhao Yuanzuo.

He was shocked in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He still said calmly: "Isn't the military talisman only available to the Privy Council? And it can only be issued according to the imperial edict of the official. He is not a member of the Privy Council, how can he have it?

"

"I don't know about this young one. Anyway, he brought us the troop mobilization talisman and asked us to leave the city and then follow Shi Baoji's command. That's it."

"According to this, does Shi Baoji have the right to mobilize troops to Xixia?"

"You can't say that," Xu Hou said, "because we only have the military talisman to mobilize troops out of the city and not to the border."

"Then why are you going to the border?"

"It's the instruction from Prince Zhao Yuanzuo."

"His instructions? Even if he is a prince, he cannot directly command the army. As a general of the Forbidden Army, don't you know this?"

"But..., he..." Xu Hou faltered, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "He has an official decree."

Leng Yi was surprised again: "An official's handwriting? What kind of handwriting?"

"Let the army obey the orders of Prince Zhao Yuanzuo."

Leng Yi's heart was really completely cold. Emperor Zhao Guangyi actually gave Zhao Yuanzuo such an imperial edict. That means that if necessary, Zhao Yuanzuo would reveal this edict and become the supreme commander of the entire Forbidden Army!

Leng Yi, the commander of Jin Mingchi's imperial army, also stepped aside. At that time, what else could he do to fight against Zhao Yuanzuo?

If Zhao Yuanzuo even has this handwriting, then he must also have the troop mobilization talisman from the Infantry Guard Division. There will be no problem in mobilizing the three armies.

Leng Yi's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I see, then you are just following orders."

"Yes, but Prince Zhao Yuanzuo said that you must not tell anyone about this matter, especially you, the Commander. I..., I spilled the beans before, please don't tell others, okay? Otherwise, I will

He died miserably."

Leng Yi sneered in his heart: If I didn't say anything, you would have died miserably! But there was a sympathetic expression on his face. He nodded: "Don't worry, since there is a reason, I won't cause you any trouble. As for your participation in smuggling,

, I will report it to the official and obey the official’s decision.”

"Thank you, sir!" (To be continued...)
