Chapter 73: The war is coming, assassinate Lin Zhongyun? (Votes requested)
At the same time, in Handan city.

In a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.

Yuan Jingxin was staring at the beggars in front of him with a serious expression: "Remember, bring more people back, and you will be rewarded handsomely."

There were nearly a hundred beggars in front of Yuan Jingxin.

Each of them had unkempt hair and smelled foul.

Hearing this, the beggars immediately nodded and agreed.

Yuan Jingxin then took out the food behind him and distributed it to the beggars one by one.

He had already received Lin Zhongyun's order.

But if you ask him to gather information, he can just lie low and slowly gather information, but if you ask him to cause chaos, that's not something he can do alone.

Although his mind is much quicker than that of ordinary people.

But Yuan Jingxin is just a teenager after all. How could he cause chaos in the city by himself?

After much thought, he made a decision.

That is to win over the beggars in the city.

There were quite a few beggars in Handan City. Due to its proximity to Yuzhou and Yangzhou, although Handan City was also affected by the drought, there was no unrest at all.

As the capital of Cangzhou, the imperial court can ignore other places in Cangzhou.

But Handan City is obviously not among them.

But it is also because of this that there are many beggars in Handan City today, and these guys are everywhere in the city.

The common people and wealthy families in the city also disliked these beggars.

Winning them over is the best way to cause trouble!

However, Yuan Jingxin was also very smart. He did not completely trust these beggars and did not reveal any content of the plan to them.

Just let them bring back more beggars and wait for the opportunity to come!
"Brothers, our army will move today, aiming at Handan!!"

"The imperial court is unkind, so I, Lin, will lead my brothers to attack it!"

"This battle is a battle for our army's survival!"

"If we can conquer Handan, our righteous army will be strong and no one will be able to stop us."

"If this fails, the defeat will be like a landslide, and I, Lin, will surely die before my brothers!"

In front of Shuntian City, Lin Zhongyun held the Qingyang Sword in his hand and glanced at the rebel army in front of him with a burning gaze.

In just over a month.

It can be said that these rebel armies before our eyes have undergone earth-shaking changes.

With his five senses enhanced, Lin Zhongyun could clearly feel the difference.

It can be said.

Today, the fighting power of the rebels is completely comparable to their previous fighting power after they used the effect of high morale.

This is a huge increase!

At this moment, even Lin Zhongyun couldn't help but feel excited.

The next moment, deafening roars rang out.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

"."

The roars were like thunder, deafening.

There was no trace of fear on the faces of the soldiers; they were all shocked and full of fighting spirit!

"send troops!!"

Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate. He pointed his sword toward the sky and shouted.

In an instant, the three armies thundered.

Nearly 50,000 troops quickly followed Lin Zhongyun and headed straight for Handan City.

The distance between Handan City and Shuntian is not that close.

Especially in this battle, Lin Zhongyun brought all the siege vehicles, and he also needed to save energy for the next battle.

Lin Zhongyun's marching speed was not very fast.

It was also because of this that the news of the mobilization of the rebel army spread like wildfire and reached Handan City directly.
Handan City, the governor's office.

"grown ups."

Jiao Kun, dressed in battle armor, hurried in from outside and said with a smile on his face, "Those rebels have taken the bait!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed.

All the officials immediately showed joy on their faces and couldn't help but sigh.

"They are indeed a bunch of beasts. They actually took the bait directly!"

"Humph! What can they do? They are just a bunch of refugees. Do they know anything about military affairs?"

"Your Excellency is wise. After this plan, Cangzhou will be safe."

"."

A group of officials spoke up one after another, all of them with smiles on their faces.

Although this strategy was clearly proposed by Jiao Kun, as officials they still attributed all the credit to Li Shaoqi, the governor of the province.

Li Shaoqi did not refuse, and even the military general Jiao Kun did not say much.

Li Shaoqi immediately smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Be fully prepared."

"Send someone to inform His Royal Highness Prince Su and ask him to make all preparations!"

As soon as Li Shaoqi opened his mouth, the expressions of the officials immediately became serious and they nodded in agreement.

Li Shaoqi looked at Jiao Kun again: "Go and prepare. In this battle, we must destroy Lin Zhongyun!"

"The last general takes command!"

Jiao Kun quickly bowed to Li Shaoqi and walked out immediately.

But that's it.

A servant hurried in from outside and bowed to Li Shaoqi: "Sir, someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Li Shaoqi immediately looked at him and asked.

"That man claimed to be Shang Jun's disciple." The servant lowered his head and said cautiously.

As soon as the words fell, at this moment.

The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed.

Everyone's expression changed. They were no longer relaxed, but instead frowned!
Shang Jun?

Li Shaoqi also frowned at this time, staring at the servant and asked: "Shang Chuqing's disciple?"

"Hasn't he already retired from the court? Why did he send his disciples to me?"

The servant immediately shook his head: "I don't know."

The entire hall was silent. The officials, who could normally offer their opinions at any time, were now particularly silent.

Although everyone's expressions were extremely ugly, no one seemed to want to speak.

They dare not say it!
Shang Chuqing is the mortal enemy of those two in the temple!

Now that they are coming to see Li Shaoqi, how dare they say more?
Being in a high position, any action you take could ruin your future?
Li Shaoqi also fell silent at this time.

He did not speak directly, but was thinking silently.

He is a member of the Blue Party and is a sworn enemy of Shang Chuqing. If they meet at this time, wouldn't it make people think too much?
As Li Shaoqi was thinking, he immediately came up with an idea in his mind and waved his hand: "No, let him go back."

The servant immediately took the order and went back. At this time, the other officials all raised their heads and smiled again.

It was as if they hadn't seen anything that had just happened.

Li Shaoqi glanced at them and smiled faintly, but didn't say much.

But in the next moment.

The servant returned with only a letter in his hand.

"Sir, this is what the man said Shang Jun gave you."

Li Shaoqi's brows tightened immediately. Looking at the officials in the room, he looked directly at Xiang Maoliang who was standing beside him: "Maoliang, please read it out loud for me so that everyone can hear what Shang Jun is talking about."

He had to be careful.

How could he leave any evidence behind to have reached his current position?

Lin Zhongyun's rebellion had already made him guilty. If someone used this as an excuse at this time, it would cause the two people in the temple to misunderstand him.

Then he won't have any chance anymore.

Hearing this, Xiang Maoliang's eyes suddenly froze.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded slightly, then immediately walked up, took the letter and began to read it.

"I, Shang Chuqing, am here to pay my respects to the governor. Upon hearing about the changes in the world, I feel something in my heart, so I have come to warn you."

"I have determined that Lin Zhongyun's threat to Daqian is far greater than that of others."

"His talent, wisdom, ambition, and strategy are all rare in a century."

"As the saying goes, a general in a foreign country is not subject to the orders of his sovereign. As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, please do not mobilize the troops of Cangzhou and be ready to fight Lin Zhongyun at any time."

His voice instantly spread throughout the hall.

After a moment, the voice fell.

The expressions of the officials also became complicated.

What does Shang Chuqing mean?
Unable to mobilize troops?

What did he see?
All the officials were filled with doubts.

If anyone else said this, they would probably be dismissive, because they look down on the refugees led by Lin Zhongyun from the bottom of their hearts.

But who is Shang Chuqing?

I have been a soldier for many years and have never been defeated!
He is the military god of Daqian, the military god who almost helped Daqian recover the three states.

No! It can't be said to be almost!

If there had not been changes in the court, Daqian would have taken back the three continents long ago.

How could his judgment be the same as others?
But as to why he made such a judgment, these people also could not guess.

Is Lin Zhongyun really that amazing?
"What do you think?" Li Shaoqi frowned at this time and asked while looking at all the officials.

If he didn't ask, these officials would naturally never speak.

But since Li Shaoqi asked this group of people, he couldn't hide anymore.

Upon hearing this, a number of officials began to express their ideas one after another, but there was no progress in the discussion to the end.

They are different from Shang Chuqing.

Not only do they not understand military affairs, they also genuinely look down on refugees in their hearts.

Years of pampering have already made them develop this habit.

Just like Xia Zhaoji before him, even before his death, he always looked down on refugees.

This concept has become common sense among this group of people.

Although Shang Chuqing mentioned Lin Zhongyun's differences in the letter, they did not think so at all.

Even Li Shaoqi is like this!
After a series of discussions, all the officials finally gave up what was said in the letter, and finally reached a unanimous conclusion: Shang Chuqing is old!

Having been in opposition for many years, he has become completely old and can no longer see the situation in the world clearly.

What kind of threat could the anti-populists, who are completely trapped in a disaster-stricken place like Cangzhou, pose?
The rebels in wealthy states such as Yu and Yang are the real threat.

After a while, Li Shaoqi also obviously confirmed the matter. Seeing that the discussion could not reach a conclusion, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Send someone to deliver this letter to the capital immediately."

He would not leave the letter behind.

From beginning to end, Li Shaoqi didn't even touch the letter.

"You are worthy of being the governor!" Xiang Maoliang admired him secretly, kept the matter in mind, and nodded quickly.

Shang Chuqing's letter did not affect any arrangements in Handan City.

Under Li Shaoqi's order, Jiao Kun immediately mobilized the army. At the same time, the guards of the Prince Su's Mansion were secretly driven out of the huge palace.

Night, Xiang Mansion.

Xiang Maoliang hurried back from outside.

In the study, several scholars of similar age had already been waiting there.

"Forgive me."

"There are many things going on in the city today, and I really can't get away."

Although Xiang Maoliang was always arrogant when facing ordinary people and refugees, he was much more humble and polite when facing these scholars.

"Brother Xiang, please don't do this. We have already made a plan, and we have come here to explain it to you." One of the scholars also stood up quickly and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiang Maoliang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it done?"

"Not bad!"

Several people nodded happily.

One of the older men said, "I have been searching in the government office for several days and finally found the file of one of the people around Lin the thief."

"This man is called Chen Dao, from Lian'an. Later, due to a natural disaster, he became a bandit and was recruited by the rich man Wang as a guard."

"Later, he joined the bandit Lin, and now he is a sergeant in the rebel army."

"Brother Xiang may not know that this thief Lin is extremely sinister, and his subordinates are all extremely loyal to him. We dare not try it easily."

"This Chen Daodu is because I found his family."

"We used his family to coerce and bribe him into agreeing to this and assassinating Lin the Bandit!"

As the man spoke, he took out a file and handed it to Xiang Maoliang.

Xiang Maoliang took a look at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked: "Has his family been controlled?"

"Don't worry, Brother Xiang."

Several scholars smiled slightly, and one of them said, "It has already been controlled, but I promised Chen Dao that if he can kill Lin the thief, I will let his family go and give them some money."

"Humph!" Xiang Maoliang sneered, "They are just a bunch of rebels. Why should we keep our promise?"

"As soon as Lin Zhongyun dies, we will kill Chen Dao's family immediately to deter those rebels."

Hearing this, several scholars immediately burst into laughter, without any intention of refusing.

These people became familiar with each other because they once wrote a manifesto together to curse Lin Zhongyun.

But it was also because of this that they were the most severely criticized as soon as Lin Zhongyun's manifesto came out.

Hatred grows quietly in the dark.

The method they came up with was to persuade the people around Lin Zhongyun to assassinate Lin Zhongyun.

They didn't tell anyone about this.

After all, for them, as long as they can kill Lin Zhongyun and save Cangzhou from danger, they can completely wash away the bad reputation!

Scholars have the same name!
They wanted to use Lin Zhongyun's life to wash away their own bad reputation!
And at the same time, on the other side.

A gentle breeze blew by.

Lin Zhongyun, who was stationed in the wild, seemed to feel something and suddenly opened his eyes!
Under the thick color, although the scene in front of me is extremely dark.

But Lin Zhongyun could clearly feel that someone seemed to be approaching him quietly.
Ps: Please support me, brothers!
