    "Grand Governor, Lin Yao is back!" Just as Lin Shucheng frowned, the guard's urgent voice came from outside the house.

    "Huh? Lin Yao is back? Let him come to see me immediately!" Lin Shucheng's face became increasingly gloomy and he said in a deep voice.  Lin Yao is his personal guard, the guard assigned to him by Situ Lei.  After being trapped in Longxi Fucheng for more than a month, Lin Shucheng decided to find ways to report the situation here to Situ Lei.

    Lin Shucheng believed that as long as Situ Lei knew the situation here and sent out the army from Hanzhong or Chang'an, all the officials in Liangzhou would wailing at his feet, and he would also figure out what went wrong here.

    "Grand Governor!" The door of the room was opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making Lin Shucheng, who was already worried, feel even more chilled in his heart.  A young man who was not tall but appeared to be strong walked in quickly.  This person was none other than Lin Yao, who was arranged by Lin Shucheng to put on makeup and leave.  Moreover, they were preparing to leave quietly last night.

    "Lin Yao, couldn't get out? Was he discovered? Where are the others?" Lin Shucheng asked repeatedly.

    Lin Yao had a look of hatred and grief on his face and said in a harsh voice: "Captain Governor, we can't leave at all. Although my subordinates and several other brothers put on makeup, they were still stopped at the gate of the city. The Liangzhou Army guarding the city had already prepared  He was ambushed and was attacked by arrows before he could get close to the city wall. "

    "Fifteen brothers, eight were shot dead on the spot, and the rest immediately evacuated, but the Liangzhou Army was in hot pursuit. It is also because of this that my subordinates can return here now. Around the Governor's Mansion, Situ Fei is everywhere  People are watching in secret. Now, except for his subordinates, everyone is dead!" As he said this, Lin Yao couldn't help crying.

    Lin Shucheng was shocked. Lin Yao and others were no ordinary people. They were part of the guard force selected by Situ Lei from tens of thousands of guards.  Not only are individual soldiers extremely capable, but they are also good at carrying out their own battles under their own circumstances.  He saw with his own eyes that more than twenty such guards could completely defeat the attack of a hundred guardsmen. If it was not a frontal battle, they could kill two to three hundred people.  But now, they were all killed last night.

    "If Lin Yao had called Situ Fei this way in the past, Lin Shucheng would have reprimanded him, but now, Lin Shucheng no longer has such thoughts.  If he didn't understand at this moment that all the changes in Longxi Fucheng were caused by this second young master who was not in his eyes, he would not be worthy of being appointed as Situ Lei.

    What exactly does Situ Fei want to do?  Separatism and self-reliance?  Just with these defeated generals in his hands?  Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Situ Fei in his heart, Lin Shucheng still couldn't believe that Situ Fei was independent and self-reliant.

    The current strength of the Liangzhou Army is only about 50,000, and including the local government troops, it is only over 60,000.  The number seems large, but more than 80% of these Liangzhou troops are new recruits, who were formed by young men after Situ Fei arrived in Liangzhou.  In the past, most of the Liangzhou army was transferred to the Central Plains and was depleted in battles with the eastern princes.

    Saying that this army is new does not mean that they were established for a short time, but that these soldiers have not experienced actual combat at all, at most they have only undergone some training.  Those old soldiers were all transferred to the front line of Yanju Mansion by Situ Fei to resist the Zhao army.  As a result, the entire army surrendered directly to the enemy.

    ¡°Besides, even if Situ Fei wanted to separate and stand on his own, it would be impossible.  To the south of Liangzhou was the 50,000-strong army gathered in Hanzhong, and in Chang'an was the 30,000-strong guard army transferred from Yongzhou to guard the old capital.  These two armies are veterans who have experienced bloody battles, and there is no problem for any one to completely defeat the Liangzhou Army.  If Situ Fei dares to establish his own rule here, Lin Shucheng believes that in less than half a month, the old Liangzhou Army will cease to exist.

    Seize power?  Don't you want me to take his place?  But the current situation in Liangzhou is not a good place.  Lin Shucheng frowned, feeling worried.  Now that he has no close confidants and no one to provide him with any information, Lin Shucheng has become completely deaf and blind, unable to make accurate judgments.

    No!  Lin Shucheng suddenly remembered that there had been no news about Ling Xiao, who had the same mission as him and was heading to Luoyang.  It stands to reason that after Ling Xiao takes control of the situation in Luoyang, he will send a message to himself so that Situ Fei can immediately grab him and return to Chengdu.  However, no news has been sent back from Luoyang until now.

    Could it be that he was blocked by Situ Fei?  The message cannot be sent back?  It's impossible. If that were the case, Ling Xiao would have reported these abnormal situations to Chengdu Mansion.

    Damn it!  what on earth is it?  Who gave Situ Fei such courage?

    "Lin Yao, you have a good rest in the mansion, and ask Hu Wen to immediately contact Tiqisi's secret base in the city! We must find out what is going on, and ask Hu Wen to report the situation here to us immediately.  Go to Chengdu Mansion and let the prince make the decision himself.¡±Shucheng suddenly thought of the powerful secret agent organization under Situ Lei.

    "yes¡­¡­"

    Luoyang, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.  Nowadays, although this is still the most prosperous place in Yongzhou, there is no longer the sign of the crowds when Dayan moved there.  A heavy snowfall also turns this place into a white world.

    Like Lin Shucheng, Ling Xiao who arrived in Luoyang was also pushed aside by the Governor of Yongzhou.  The only difference is that in Luoyang, Situ Hao, the governor of Yongzhou, has a huge official system to support him. Therefore, when Ling Xiao arrived in Luoyang, he did not directly remove Situ Hao from the post of governor without any reason.

    In Luoyang, Ling Xiao served as the deputy governor of Yongzhou, assisting the governor of Yongzhou in handling Yongzhou's military affairs to resist possible actions of the Zhao army in the north, and at the same time coordinate with Liangzhou in the west.

    Ling Xiao¡¯s original intention was to take over the general affairs first and then intervene in the government affairs, or not to interfere in the government affairs and only need to take over the army¡¯s logistics.  It is a pity that in Luoyang, the old capital, there are too many people standing behind Situ Hao.  Countless officials became Situ Hao's supporters and firmly controlled the military and political power in Yongzhou.  Especially when Zhao Jun reported some information to Luoyang, Situ Hao and the officials behind him took action one after another, desperately trying to seize the power in their hands.

    Unlike Situ Fei, there was no fighting in Luoyang. No matter who it was, everyone was in a situation of seizing power.  It seems that there is a situation of internal fighting among officials.  Of course, this is also related to the mixed situation of various forces in Luoyang.

    In Liangzhou, Situ Fei deliberately did whatever he wanted without being noticed by others. This was because Liangzhou was located in a remote location, especially after the Liangzhou rebellion and the relocation of the capital, the place was not valued by the imperial court.  Therefore, Situ Fei imprisoned the Governor of Liangzhou unscrupulously here.

    But in Luoyang, various forces are mixed, and the Yong army is still the center of power. Situ Hao naturally does not dare to do anything particularly transcendent before reaching a certain situation or absolutely controlling me.  After all, Situ Lei is not dead yet.

    However, Ling Xiao failed to get the power of Yongzhou. No matter what, even if he followed Situ Lei's secret order to slowly strip away the power in Situ Hao's hands, he could not remove him without any reason.  Official position.  Furthermore, Situ Hao was still the Commander-in-Chief, his immediate superior. Any opinions or military orders, the Commander-in-Chief's opinions were higher than his.

    More importantly, Situ Hao is the eldest son of Situ Lei, the eldest son, and the future His Highness King Yong. This is the consensus of everyone. This is also the reason why so many officials are willing to follow Situ Hao.  Therefore, now that Ling Xiao and Situ Hao are competing for power, naturally, the officials in Luoyang are standing behind Situ Hao.

    What is better than Lin Shucheng is that he has not been directly suppressed by Situ Hao. At least, Ling Xiao is still the deputy governor of Yongzhou. In Yongzhou, he is now the most important person after Situ Hao.  However, his power in the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion is not high.  In other words, all the officials in Luoyang are now attached to Situ Hao.

    In the eyes of these people, Situ Lei is about to become a thing of the past, so it is normal for King Yong's eldest son Situ Hao to succeed to the throne.  They relied on Situ Hao, which was naturally the result of following the dragon.  In addition, these officials around Situ Hao were also extremely wary of Ling Xiao.

    how so?  Ling Xiao is Situ Lei's confidant and has extraordinary abilities. Naturally, people around Situ Hao don't want Ling Xiao to be reused around Situ Hao anymore.  If Ling Xiao is watched by Situ Hao, after Situ Hao becomes King Yong, Ling Xiao will definitely become the most trusted person in Yong's army, which will naturally make Situ Hao's subordinates unhappy.  Therefore, Ling Xiao encountered resistance from everyone in Luoyang and was unable to achieve his intended goal.

    What worried Ling Xiao the most was that Chengdu Prefecture did not give a clear answer at all to the information he sent back to Chengdu Prefecture.  Later I learned that the leader of the Yong Army, King Yong Situ Lei, had really reached the point of sunset.  Now, Situ Lei can no longer handle major military and political affairs normally.  The people currently handling the affairs of Yong's army are Situ Che, the fifth son of King Yong, and Lin Shiwen, who assists Situ Che.

    The two of them were busy reorganizing the Yong army gathered in the south, where they had time to take charge of the situation in Luoyang.  Especially Situ Che, in his view, as long as the more than 100,000 troops gathered in Yizhou and Ningzhou are organized, and Jiaozhou, Jiangzhou, and Yizhou are all under his control, the top priority is.

    ??Besides, what Ling Xiao reported was that he was unable to handle Yongzhou affairs normally in Luoyang, and it was not a big deal.  Therefore, Situ Che didn't take it to heart.  Lin Shiwen, on the other hand, was so busy with the heavy affairs and power transfer that he did not see this report at all.

    As for Ling Xiao¡¯s secret mission to Luoyang, only Situ Lei and a few people under his command knew about it, and Situ Che knew nothing about it.  As a result, this situation occurred. Ling Xiao and Lin Shucheng were suppressed in both places, but Chengdu Prefecture was completely unaware of it.

      Situ Lei was already in poor health, so he personally led the army south to conquer Murong Cheng.  Situ Lei didn't know that in the battle between him and Murong Cheng, it was Zhao Xun who gained the advantage in the end.  But the aging Situ Lei still decided to have a showdown with his former enemy, Murong Cheng, who had been fighting with him for more than ten years.  Or maybe this is what he hopes to see most.

    However, no matter how well the personal guards served him when the army went on an expedition, it was still a little uncomfortable for Situ Lei.  Coupled with the hard work of the war, Situ Lei finally came to the end of his life.

    Regarding the choice of successor, many people believe that the eldest son, Situ Hao, is the most suitable.  But Situ Lei did not choose Situ Hao. The most important reason was that there were too many old officials of the Yan Dynasty standing behind Situ Hao.  In this regard, Ling Xiao and others also agreed with Situ Lei's opinion.  Another important reason is that Situ Hao's temperament is too gentle and he is not suitable to become a prince in this chaotic time.  In other words, Situ Hao was the lord who maintained the status quo, but he was not the lord who opened up the territory.

    After some consideration, Situ Lei handed over the power of King Yong to the fifth son Situ Che. Since the end of October, Situ Che began to take over the power of Yong Army and asked his subordinates to assist Situ Che in reorganizing the entire army and taking over the military administration.  Lin Shucheng and Ling Xiao were sent to Liangzhou and Yongzhou just in case.

    "Grand Governor, the situation is very bad. All the Tiqisi spies in the city have been captured by the Liangzhou Army!" Hu Wen, who was sent by Lin Shucheng to contact Tiqisi in Longxi Fucheng, came back to report.

    "What? Tichisi's spies were also arrestedwhat do they want to do?"

    "Grand Governor, although we failed to find Tiqisi, the people we sent to investigate the Liangzhou Army came back. They were chased by the Liangzhou Army, but they still sent back the information they found out!" Right here!  At that moment, Lin Yao hurriedly walked in and said to Lin Shucheng urgently, "According to the brothers who were quietly placed in the army, the defeat more than ten days ago was deliberately organized by someone."

    "What? Someone deliberately lost more than a dozen cities to the Zhao army?" Hearing this, Lin Shucheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately thought that since the loss of the cities was intentional, then after the Liangzhou army changed its commander, another  Fighting "bravely" is naturally someone's deliberate intention.

    So, if you want to achieve this, you cannot rely on the Liangzhou Army alone. You must also conspire with the Zhao Army collude, Zhao Army?  Lin Shucheng's head suddenly became as big as a bucket and his heart beat violently.

    "Grand Governor!" Lin Yao continued, "In addition, our people also discovered that they purchased a large amount of grain, grass, supplies and winter clothes in Qinchuan in the east, and asked the Liangzhou soldiers to replenish the supplies they needed. However, our  When I was about to go check it out, I was discovered by the Liangzhou Army and failed to come back. However, it was still vaguely known that these supplies were transported by merchants from Zhao."

    "Are they colluding with Zhao Jun? Who are they? What do they want to do? By the way, do you know who is responsible for these things?"

    Lin Yao said with a gloomy face: "It's the former Governor-General, and the second son, Situ Fei, is personally in charge!"

    "Impossible! How could he collude with Zhao Jun? He betrayed Liangzhou's interests and ultimately lost all himself." Lin Shucheng was a little unbelievable.

    "No! Everyone in Liangzhou ignores the military orders of this governor and completely abandons us to work alone. There must be extraordinary people behind the scenes. Such things are definitely not something ordinary people can do. Our army is in the east and south, ready at any time  They can all send troops to Liangzhou. They will never abandon the Yong army easily, but instead go to do business with the Zhao army.  It's definitely not what they want." The more Lin Shucheng thought about it, the more worried he became.  Vaguely, he felt like he was about to guess the problem.

    "Could it be that something happened in Yongzhou? Or something happened in Chengdu? If there is any big change, this Longxi city will definitely not be so stable."

    "Dare to put the governor appointed by King Yong under house arrest, dare to ignore the tens of thousands of troops close to him, this this must be a problem in Chengdu, either, or Liangzhou knows the purpose of my visit this time.  "

    "No, Situ Fei must have known something about the situation and was unwilling to accept it. However, he was worried about the corresponding reaction from Chengdu Mansion, so he did not come forward and let the Liangzhou Army ignore me and control the power of Liangzhou. It must be  That's true, but you can't give Liangzhou to Zhao Jun for nothing!" Lin Shucheng's face became uglier as he thought about it.

    "Grand Governor?" Seeing Lin Shucheng keep muttering something in his mouth, his face became more and more ugly, Lin Yao and Hu Wen on the side were secretly worried and shouted repeatedly.

    "Lin Yao, go out immediately, go to Chang Shi Tianyu's mansion, and tell him that the governor wants to see the person behind him, the second young master!" Lin Shucheng said with a solemn face after being awakened.

    ??The residence of Chang Shi Tianyu, not far from the Governor's Mansion, ChangTian Yu, Sima Wang Hewen on the left, Sima Weiping on the right, He Zhaowu who joined the army, and Situ Fei gathered together.  They gathered here not for anything else, but because Lin Shucheng sent someone to spread the word and wanted to see the person behind Tian Yu.

    "Lord, Lin Shucheng has guessed that you are the mastermind behind Liangzhou." Since Situ Fei was unwilling to return to Chengdu, there was the danger of being killed, and he was determined to separate his own country, and all the civil and military officials in Liangzhou paid homage to him.  Take Situ Fei as the master.

    Situ Fei said in a deep voice: "What do you think Lin Shucheng is looking for after me?"

    Wang Hewen said coldly: "Lord, what if Lin Shucheng knows about it? Now he is a turtle in the urn. No matter what he knows, he does not pose any threat to us. It's just"

    "But what?"

    "It's just that I don't know what Lin Shucheng knows. If he knows about our cooperation with Zhao Jun, then we will have no way out. In other words, the lord has begun to stand on the bright side. If he wants to retreat, he has already  It¡¯s impossible.¡±

    The reason why Situ Fei never revealed his identity and did not govern Liangzhou openly was because he wanted to see the situation in Chengdu. He could change his actions at any time. Once the situation changed, he could introduce a scapegoat to keep himself out of the matter.  .  If Lin Shucheng knows everything now, it means that Lin Shucheng has other subordinates in Liangzhou.  Then, he will have no retreat.

    He Zhaowu, who joined the army, said solemnly: "My lord, there is no way to retreat now. No matter what, we should make a decision. This Lin Shucheng is very capable. My lord wants to control the army in Hanzhong or Chang'an, this person is our best  The first step is to conquer him."
