Jiang Suizhou was caught off guard, and was led to lean forward, bumping his head into Huo Wujiu's abdomen.

It was a little hard, but it made people feel extremely safe, even though it was obviously the most urgent moment for him at this time.

This was the first time he was in such a panic, he was completely flustered.

In the past, even if Pang Shao made every step and the master was aggressive, he never panicked.Because he understands them, knows what bargaining chips they have in their hands, can handle them, and everything is under control.

But this time...

The butterfly flapped its wings and disrupted the course of history.Even if he planned the layout again, he couldn't stop Pang Shao, who no longer believed in the queen master and wanted to die together.

He sniffed his nose twice lightly.

"But..." The back of his head was pressed warmly by Huo Wujiu's palm, and his voice was a little buzzing. "In half a month, Nanjing will be in chaos. Even if Pang Shao is besieged and killed at this time, it will be difficult to stop his plan."

But Huo Wujiu pondered for a moment, as if he had made some decision.

"I have a way to get soldiers and horses." He said. "Do you believe me or not?"

Jiang Suizhou didn't speak or move for a moment.

But Huo Wujiu clicked his tongue impatiently, and his tone became more brisk, as if he was really not afraid of anything: "I'm asking you something."

"But……"

"No but." Huo Wujiu said. "Just say it, believe it or not."

This is all coercion.

Jiang Suizhou paused, and whispered unwillingly: "Trust you, okay? Then what are you going to do next..."

"Don't worry about it." Huo Wujiu said.

With that said, he gently let go of Jiang Suizhou.

The heat from the side of the face and the back of the head suddenly disappeared, which made Jiang Suizhou inexplicably feel a little helpless.

He looked up at Huo Wujiu, and saw that Huo Wujiu was also looking down at him.

"Since you trust me, go back to sleep." Huo Wujiu said.

Jiang Suizhou said: "But you forced me to say it just now..."

"Go back to sleep." Huo Wujiu repeated. "I'll go out for a while, and I'll give you an answer when I open my eyes tomorrow morning, okay?"

-

Huo Wujiu tricked Jiang Suizhou back, then took Wei Kai with him and went straight to Lou Yue's General's Mansion.

He didn't act so calmly in front of Jiang Suizhou at all.

He broke into Lou Yue's mansion, went straight to his residence, and grabbed Lou Yue who had fallen asleep.Lou Yue was stupefied in sleep when he saw Huo Wujiu standing in front of his bed, cursing unceremoniously: "Sleep still? Pang Shao's old thief has taken your lair, still sleep!"

Lou Yue felt that it was just a nightmare, until Lou Wanjun hurriedly lit the lamp after hearing the sound, and took a clear picture of Wei Kai in the room who was full of anxiety and Huo Wujiu who was walking around in the room, and he didn't realize it. to this is true.

"What's wrong? Pang Shao what?" Lou Yue quickly turned over and sat up.

"Prince Jing just got the information, that Fang Zhaohe he sent to Lingnan has turned your troops back in Lingnan!" Huo Wujiu said. "In half a month, they will find a reason to fight in Lin'an."

Lou Yue felt that he was dreaming.

"What about Pang Shaotu!" he said anxiously. "The emperor obeys him like this, isn't he satisfied?"

Huo Wujiu had no time to explain the deepening rift between Pang Shao and his successor over the past few days, he only said concisely: "It's just a superficial appearance. Now he is probably trying to kill two birds with one stone, one is to eliminate the enemy, and the other is to change the dynasty."

Lou Yue was startled.

"That's good!" he said. "Even if you are here, these 30 soldiers and horses want to fight against my [-] troops, which is a drop in the bucket! What's more, it is not far from Lingnan to Lin'an, and there are all states, counties and towns along the road. Where is the place to fight!"

At that time, even if they win, the battle will have to drag on for at least a year and a half. By then, how many people will die?

Lou Yue didn't dare to think about it.

"Therefore, we must act first." Huo Wujiu said.

Lou Yue hurriedly asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Huo Wujiu pondered for a moment.

"It's just an adventure," he said. "The only solution now is to borrow soldiers from Beiliang."

When Lou Yue heard this, he knew that he had been in contact with Beiliang, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good," he said.

But I heard Huo Wujiu say: "But, I want to lend you some soldiers and horses, light cavalry, fast-footed ones, the more the better."

Lou Yue was puzzled: "Why?"

Huo Wujiu looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Northern Liang people, don't believe everything."

Lou Yue was startled: "You mean..."

He hesitated and couldn't speak.

He didn't expect that with Huo Wujiu's ability, how could he be easily captured?Either Nan Jing had made preparations in advance, or Huo Wujiu was behind...someone betrayed him.

Since Huo Wujiu said so, it must be the second type.

Seeing Huo Wujiu nodded: "It's just a guess."

Lou Wanjun, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two of them, couldn't help but frowned and said, "Then you go, aren't you going to die?"

"So I want to lead troops." Huo Wujiu said. "I need you to suggest to Jiang Shunheng in the past few days, just find some excuses and send some soldiers to the river bank. The number is not large, and he will not stop you. At that time, I will lead the troops to ambush on the south bank. If they take it lightly, they will You can capture the head of the bandits first, and let me dispatch the rest of the soldiers and horses."

Lou Yue said, "But, how can you be sure that they will bring troops across the river?"

Huo Wujiu looked up at him.

"They will come."

On the side, Lou Wanjun murmured: "If they want to help you, they will definitely come back; if they want to kill you...they won't miss the chance, right?"

Huo Wujiu nodded slowly.

Lou Yue thought for a long time, then took a deep breath: "I will follow your arrangement."

But Huo Wujiu said: "There is one more thing, you must do it well."

Lou Yue asked, "What?"

Huo Wujiu looked at him.

"My life and death are uncertain, and Beijing may not be peaceful." He said. "Pang Shao is keeping a close eye on Prince Jing's mansion. If there is a war in Jiang'an, there will be no silence in Beijing."

Lou Yue nodded.

"The remaining soldiers and horses under your command must hold the imperial city, and don't release any important people." He said.

Lou Yue replied: "Don't worry about that, but you need to go and return quickly. There are defenders in the surrounding counties and counties. If they rush to help Lin'an at that time, they may not be able to defend for long."

Huo Wujiu nodded, and continued: "And Prince Jing."

Lou Yue was puzzled: "How about Prince Jing?"

Huo Wujiu looked at him with deep eyes, unprecedentedly solemn and serious.

"Protect him. If he is injured in the slightest, I will kill you."

-

Early in the morning of the second day, the morning sun rose, and the city of Lin'an was still peaceful and magnificent, without any turbulent undercurrents.

The same is true in the court.

Lou Yue still likes to make trouble, and he still can't change his temperament of pointing fingers.After impeaching Pang Shao two days ago, today he criticizes the emptiness of the northern border of Dajing, thinking that the natural moat next to the river can rest easy.In the final analysis, it is Pang Shao's lazy administration, and he may be suspected of embezzling state funds.

The empress always heard him scolding Pang Shao, and over time, not only got tired of Pang Shao, but also got tired of him.

He was given a headache by Lou Yue's loud voice, and simply said: "So, what does Lou Qing want?"

Lou Yue straightened his back, and his voice was like a bell: "Of course we need to strengthen our defenses in case of danger."

The Empress only felt a headache.

Although he only knows about the wind, flowers, snow and moon every day, he also knows how much money he has in his pocket.The money was used to support the beauties in his palace, his rich and luxurious life, and the rare animals in his paddock. Where would he have the money to raise some useless soldiers and horses?

He waved his hand and said, "Then get out of your army, Aiqing. Aren't there [-] of your soldiers outside the city? Set aside [-] and send them away first."

Lou Yue showed displeasure: "But..."

"No, but." The master did not compromise at all. "I can't change soldiers. Anyway, your troops will be sent to useful places sooner or later. Sending them now will save you some food and grass money."

Lou Yue silently stopped talking.

That's how it was settled.

Soldiers were mobilized outside the city, and inside Prince Jing's mansion, Jiang Suizhou also knew about Huo Wujiu's plan.

But Huo Wujiu didn't tell him everything.

He only said that he flew pigeons to send letters to Li Sheng, the defender in Jiangbei.In a few days, Li Sheng will order 15 soldiers and horses to send across the river.

This time, he went to Jiangbei with Lou Yue's soldiers and horses, and took the 15 army into his hands.After that, Lou Yue besieged the city, and he led troops to reinforce it. When 20 people surrounded Lin'an, it was the day when Pang Shao and Jiang Shunheng died.

At that time, they can quickly take Lin'an, and then rush to Lingnan, block the 30 people in Lingnan, and kill Pang Shao's son and rebel generals. At that time, the whole Nanjing will fall into their hands.

Jiang Suizhou thought about it, but he couldn't see any flaws in the plan, but...

He was always a little uneasy.

Since it is so easy for Huo Wujiu to mobilize troops, why didn't he come up with such a simple strategy before?Since he could move freely and no one could catch him, why did he sneak into the five thousand soldiers under Lou Yue?

He always had some doubts in his heart, the more uneasy he became when it came to the day when Huo Wujiu was leaving.

Until the day before his departure, when he came back from the yamen, it was already nightfall.

He went back to Anyin Hall, but he didn't go to the main room, he stopped in the courtyard, but went to Huo Wujiu's room.

Huo Wujiu was sitting there, watching Wei Kai count his luggage.

They don't have much to carry and pack up easily.Seeing Jiang Suizhou come in, Huo Wujiu raised his head to look at him, and waved to him.

"Come on," he said. "What's up?"

Jiang Suizhou said: "I just came to see..."

Huo Wujiu got up and poured tea for him, but Jiang Suizhou stopped him.He looked up at Huo Wujiu, remained silent for a moment, and said: "I'm still a little worried..."

Huo Wujiu smiled, and said relaxedly: "What are you worried about? 20 people, even if Pang Shao has twice as many soldiers in his hands, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"But what I'm afraid of is..." Jiang Suizhou frowned. "I'm just guessing, but can the soldiers and horses of the Liang Dynasty fully believe it?"

Huo Wujiu paused inaudibly, but it was fleeting.

He laughed twice.

"Those soldiers are all from the Huo family. What's so untrustworthy? Don't think too much about it." He said.

"But……"

But Huo Wujiu looked at him lazily: "Why, you have nothing to do, you're going to think about it?"

Jiang Suizhou opened his mouth and was about to refute.

But Huo Wujiu raised his hand, pulled his wrist, then raised his hand towards Wei Kai, as a gesture of authority.

"Okay, don't think too much, I'll take you to find something to do." Huo Wujiu said.

Jiang Suizhou hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?"

"Lou Yue is going to reward the army outside the city tonight, so I'll take you to have a look."

The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu (face full of hope): After this battle is over, I will come back and marry you!

Jiang Suizhou:? ?Don't stand up with this flag!
