Following the death of Luo Yi, the army in Jingzhou was destroyed. Qin Yong took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack Jingzhou and swept across Yan and Liao within half a month. The world was finally unified, but Xue Wanche and others fled with their families to Goguryeo.

"Humph!" In the Lujiang Cavalry School Lieutenant's Mansion, Gan Chong's face was clouded, and he was looking coldly at the maid kneeling on the ground. The ground was covered with broken porcelain pieces and a pool of water.

"Pull it down and kill it!" A cold voice came out of Gan Chong's mouth. Outside the gate, two soldiers came in and pulled the maid out.

"Spare your life, spare your life! Ah Lang, spare your life!" The maid turned pale with fright and begged loudly for mercy.

"Okay, spare her!" A voice came over at this time, Gan Chong looked over, and saw Zu Ming and Wang Junkuo walking in together. Gan Chong immediately waved to the two soldiers, but let go

Passed the maid.

"Why are you here?" Gan Chong said coldly.

"I heard that the general is unwell, so I came here to visit with my ancestors." Wang Junkuo showed a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Now it seems that the general's illness is not in his body, but in his heart!"

"What disease can I have? It's too late for me to be happy." Gan Chong sighed, with a look of loneliness on his face, and smiled: "Elder brother has already been granted the title of Duke of the State, and he is still the Duke of Wu. There are 1,300 households in the city.

.Tsk, your majesty is very generous! Alas, it’s a pity that Luo Yi made my senior brother famous.”

"Actually, it was not Luo Yi who made General Qin famous, but His Majesty." Wang Junkuo said with a smile: "Didn't the general see that there was something fishy about Luo Yi's death?".

"What's so weird?" Gan Chong sneered: "This kind of person deserves to die. It's just that he died at the wrong time. I thought he could hold on for a while, and then your majesty might send us there. No.

Thinking that he was killed by his subordinates at this time, he really deserved it."

"Have you noticed, General, that Changsun Wuji, who was deposed as Minister of Public Affairs not long ago, is now appointed as Sikong, Kaifu Yi and Sansi?" Wang Junkuo said with a mysterious smile on his lips: "But why does the imperial court do so?

Isn't it strange that Changsun Wuji was awarded the official title without even giving a reason?"

"What's so strange about this? Now everyone belongs to His Majesty, and Changsun Wuji's younger sister has already entered the palace to serve His Majesty. Instead of being named a concubine, Changsun Wuji is a relative. Isn't it normal to be granted a vacant post?".

Zu Ming said dissatisfied.

"Zu Lang, you are wrong." Gan Chong waved his hand and said: "The problem here is really big. Who is Changsun Wuji? The original stall owner entered the family, and he came to the capital not long ago to investigate

In the grand ceremony, he didn’t know how many people he offended. In order to protect him, His Majesty dismissed him from his official position. In this way, the aristocratic families in Guandong and Guanlong let Changsun Wuji go. How long had it passed? His Majesty actually added

He became Sikong and Kaifu Yitong, but the officials in Guanlong and Guandong never said a word, which is surprising."

"Yes, according to my information, Changsun Wuji disappeared for a while and he once went north." Wang Junkuo said mysteriously.

"You mean, this Luo Yi was killed by Changsun Wuji?" Gan Chong's expression changed, he couldn't help but sit up from his chair, and said in surprise.

"Nine times out of ten, that's the case." Wang Junkuo nodded and said: "Wherever Luo Yi died in the hands of that Yang Wei, in fact, he died in the hands of His Majesty. Therefore, it is inevitable for Wu Guogong to win. Because God

Everyone is helping him."

"We can fight against everyone, but we cannot fight against heaven." Zu Ming also sighed deeply. If this is really the case, Qin Yong's ability to win the title of Duke is indeed a gift from His Majesty.

his.….

"Man cannot fight against the sky. Tsk tsk. In fact, His Majesty still cares about all of your disciples." Wang Junkuo suddenly smiled.

"How do you say this?" Gan Chong's face was not good-looking, and he glanced at Wang Junkuo coldly.

"Two generals, where is this place? Lujiang, Lujiang was Du Fuwei's home base. There are a hundred thousand Jianghuai troops. This force is entrenched in Jianghuai. Your Majesty is worried! Even if this Du Fuwei enters the court.

, but now it is Fugong Tuo who controls the Jianghuai Army. This person has long been unwilling to succumb to Du Fuwei. He has long been interested in treason. Your Majesty has put the two of you here with 30,000 elite troops just to deal with them.

Fu Gongtuo. This is an opportunity given by His Majesty to the two generals!" Wang Junkuo said quickly.

"Yes, Gan Lang, this is a good opportunity!" Zu Ming stood up abruptly, cupped his hands and said, "As long as Fu Gong recruits troops, it will be a good opportunity for us."

"That's easy to say, but when will Fugong Tuo rebel? Can't we just wait like this?" Gan Chong said with a murderous look on his face, snorting coldly.

"Of course there is no need." A strange smile appeared on Wang Junkuo's face, and he cupped his hands and said: "When I can leave a message in Jianghuai, I will say that Du Fuwei has been killed by His Majesty. In view of the huge number of Jianghuai troops, Your Majesty has decided to disband

Jianghuai Army, let them all return to their hometowns. If you have Fu Gongtuo of Jianghuai Army, then you are Fugong Tuo, and you disciples of the Emperor must treat it with caution. But if you lose Fugong Tuo of Jianghuai Army, you will be a tiger without teeth.

There is nothing to worry about at all. Fu Gong Tuo was already dissatisfied with Du Fuwei's surrender to the court. At this time, when he heard that His Majesty was going to disband the Jianghuai Army, how could he be willing to do so? He would definitely fight to the death. You know, nowadays Jiangnan's

There are not many troops! The Jianghuai Army is good at water warfare. Once the Yangtze River is blocked, it may still be able to fight. Fugong Tuo is well-known in Jiangnan and can respond to hundreds of calls. If this person raises an army, he must be the great enemy of the imperial court. If I

After destroying the great enemy of the imperial court, His Majesty will also reward us."

"Is this possible?" Zu Ming's expression suddenly changed after hearing this. This is going to force him to rebel against Fu Gongtuo! Once the news reaches His Majesty's ears, not only will the three people in front of him not be able to make any contributions, I'm afraid they will also be punished.

punish.

"This rumor is not spread by us, but by people sent by Fugong Tuo." Wang Junkuo showed a sinister look on his face and said coldly: "Actually, one hundred thousand Jianghuai troops are spread all over the Jianghuai area.

Do you think His Majesty is not nervous? It’s just that he is the founder of the country and does not want to bear the reputation of killing Du Fuwei. It can be said that His Majesty has actually wanted to deal with the Jianghuai Army for a long time, but he has not found an excuse, so this rumor does not matter

Whoever spreads this rumor, His Majesty will take action against the Jianghuai Army. Even if His Majesty knows that this rumor is used by us, he will turn a blind eye and not care about it. As long as we can eliminate it for him

Jianghuai Army, that is a real contribution. Humph, if it has made a contribution this time, what will those censors say that it is not successful?"

"That's right. Your Majesty sent us here just to deal with the Jianghuai Army?" Gan Chong slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "General Wang, this matter of rumors depends on the General. I will personally write to Your Majesty to tell you.

Fugong Tuo will rebel. Your Majesty is thousands of miles away. Even if the imperial guards are here, as long as Fugong Tuo can be wiped out, Your Majesty will not say anything. Zulang, this is the perfect time for us to return to the court.

Can’t miss it.”

"Forget it! Then just do as Gan Lang said!" Zu Ming also nodded.

"Okay. I'll make arrangements now," Wang Junkuo said quickly, handing over his hand.

"Please." Gan Chong personally sent Wang Junkuo out of the Cavalry School Lieutenant's Mansion. Then the two of them dispersed...

"Second Senior Brother, is this move too hasty? I always don't trust this Wang Junkuo." After Gan Chong returned to the hall, Zu Ming quickly stood up and said.

"No, this person just wants to use my identity to get a better position. What's more, even if he doesn't tell me about this matter, I will do the same thing." Gan Chong shook his head and said: "Zu Lang

, Lujiang is not a place for you and me to stay. We should go to the capital. After annihilating Fugong Tuo this time, it will be our opportunity. Hehe, this is also the opportunity His Majesty gave me. When we were outside Luoyang City, Your Majesty said

I once warned me that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was unstable and that Fugong Tuo had faint traces of rebellion. That’s why we stationed you and me in Lujiang. Once we discovered that Fugong Tuo had traces of rebellion, we would immediately raise troops to put down the rebellion. Hehe, Zulang,

Your Majesty has actually been waiting for this day for a long time. Therefore, when Wang Junkuo brought it up today, I easily agreed. Think about it, this rumor was not spread by you and me, but Wang Junkuo's doing, and even His Majesty blamed it.

You and I will be blamed. Oh, this rumor should be caused by Fugong Tuo. Hehe, Wang Junkuo is smart and thought of a good idea. Maybe, His Majesty can take this opportunity to kill Du Fuwei.

!" Gan Chong said proudly, but Zu Ming on the other side was frightened.

"What do you think?" In the Xuande Hall, Lu Zhaoci was sitting behind a few desks. Cen Wenwen and others stood respectfully in the hall. The person placed in front of everyone was Gan Chong, the hustle captain stationed in Lujiang.

The memorial mentioned the Jianghuai incident.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 troops in Jianghuai. Most of these people are brave men, and they are also good at water warfare. It will not be easy once they raise troops to fight against terrorism, not to mention that their leader is in Chang'an. If they rebel at this time, is it possible that Du Fuwei's thirty

Don’t you pretenders want their adoptive father’s life?” Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.

In the thirteenth year of the great cause, Du Fuwei claimed to be the general manager. He took Fu Gong'er as his long history and collected subordinate counties. Small groups of anti-Sui armed forces in the Jianghuai River rushed to join him. Fuwei selected 5,000 people who dared to die as volunteers and received generous treatment.

During the war, he served as the vanguard; he also used more than thirty strong men as false emblems to divide the tribes and share food and clothing with them. The military orders were strict, meritorious service would be rewarded, and those who retreated before the battle would be killed; all the money they obtained were used as military supplies. These thirty people are now

Even if they are all over the Jianghuai army, if Fugong Tuo rebels, the Tang Dynasty will definitely kill Du Fuwei. Will these thirty fake men agree? This is the problem.

"Xuan Ling's words are wrong!" Master Cui Ren, who was ranked behind Cen Wenwen, looked very proud. After hearing this, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that Fugong Tuo would rebel. Du Fuwei and Fugong Tuo were sworn brothers at the beginning.

The Jianghuai Army mostly calls Fugong Tuo "Fu Bo", which shows that Fugong Tuo's prestige in Jianghuai is actually not lower than that of Du Fuwei. What's more, people live for fame and fortune, and today's Jianghuai Army is no longer

The Jianghuai Army at that time. Du Fuwei had already entered the dynasty and was granted the title of King of Wu by Emperor Wude. Although the title of Prince Taibao was very noble, in fact, he did not have any power and was far away from Jianghuai. He missed those Jianghuai soldiers.

Will you listen to him like Du Fuwei?".

"I have heard that Wang Xiongxi, Du Fuwei's adopted son and general, is now in charge of the Jianghuai Army. This man is very loyal to Du Fuwei. How could he follow Fu Gongtuo to rebel? I think there must be a reason for this.

." Du Ruhui said: "However, the Jianghuai Army has 100,000 people. Jianghuai is a prosperous place, and the salt tax is an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court. It should be in the hands of the imperial court and should not be left in the Jianghuai Army.

The minister also suggested that the Jianghuai army should be ordered to move to Xiangyang first and get out of the way of Jianghuai, and then disperse them, either to return to their hometowns to farm, or to be incorporated into the imperial navy. If the other party agrees, then naturally there will be no need for the hussar captain

We have sent troops to quell the rebellion. If you don't agree, it means that the other party has long been suspected of raising troops to rebel. Taking advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, they will annihilate them in one go and avoid destroying the prosperous land of Jianghuai." Du Ruhui is indeed Du Ruhui.

Zidian hit the essence of the matter….

"Your Majesty, we are not familiar with the Jianghuai affairs, so why not call King Wu over to inquire." Cen Wenwen said cautiously.

"Mr. Cen, do you think it is necessary?" Lu Zhaoci shook his right hand slightly and asked calmly.

Cen Wenwen's expression changed, and he took two steps back slightly, but he did not dare to speak anymore. Although Lu Zhaoci sometimes called himself Mr. Cen, it was not in this tone. How smart Cen Wenwen was,

As soon as he heard Lu Zhaoci's tone, he immediately knew what Lu Zhaoci was thinking, and his heart sank involuntarily. It seemed that the emperor had already thought about how to deal with the Jianghuai Army. It is true that in the past, although the Jianghuai Army

After all, it was the imperial army that occupied the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, Luo Yi rebelled in the north. Lu Zhaoci was not willing to rebel against the Jianghuai Army at that time, so he tolerated the Jianghuai Army occupying the rich areas of the Jianghuai River. Even the salt tax on the two Huaihe Rivers was reduced.

The private property of the Jianghuai Army was taken away, and the court could not get a single cent. However, it is different now. The external troubles have stabilized, the biggest internal trouble, Luo Yi, has also died, and Youzhou has been pacified. How can the court tolerate Jianghuai anymore?

The army is acting recklessly. It is certain that troops will be launched for conquest. They just lack an excuse. Now they finally have an excuse. No matter who made this rumor, the court will regard it as fact. They will raise troops to quell the rebellion. The sword is once again shrouded in

Jianghuai is a prosperous land.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Master Cui Ren was watching clearly from the side. When he saw Cen Wenwen's appearance, his face lit up and he quickly stepped forward and asked.

"The message is sent to Lieutenant Gan Chong of the Lujiang Cavalry School to prepare to lead troops to suppress the rebellion!" Lu Zhaoci said calmly. There was no expression at all in his words, which made people feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, Gan Chong is just a school captain. How can he quell the rebellion? I am willing to go to Jianghuai and lead troops to quell the rebellion." Everyone in the hall looked over one after another, and saw that the person speaking was Master Cui Ren. They couldn't help but feel shocked and surprised.

Shocked. I didn’t expect that Cui Renshi, a civil servant, also wanted to lead troops to put down the rebellion. Who do you think you are? Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi!

"Uncle Guo is a civil servant, so you better not get involved in the matter of leading the troops." Lu Zhaoci narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said: "It is better to leave this kind of thing to Gan Chong! Canonize Gan Chong as General Huaihua

, and mobilized 50,000 Luoyang garrison troops to take his command to quell the rebellion!"

"Your Majesty is wise," the ministers said quickly.
