Dou Jiande.
One of the twelve masters of the Iron Hand Regiment.
The organizational structure of the Iron Hand Regiment is very simple.
Among them, the clan leader Yuan Buji is the most noble and holds the most power.
After that, below the sect leader, there are the so-called twelve halls.
These twelve halls are named after Canglong, White Tiger, Spirit Leopard, Bear, Pi Xiu, Suan Ni, Jackal, Xie Zhi, Anaconda, Black Turtle, Blood Dragon, and Golden Jiao.
And this Dou Jiande is the head of the Haezhi Hall, one of the twelve halls, and is responsible for the affairs of the Iron Hand Regiment in Hebei.
"Sect Master, what are your orders?"
at this time.
Hear Yuan Buji calling.
Dou Jiande walked out quickly and bowed.
"You have thousands of brothers in charge of Hebei, and there are many capable people under you. This brother Zhang is a distinguished guest of my Iron Hands. During these days, you will stay with him and serve him well. Don't neglect it."
Yuan Buji nodded and said to Dou Jiande.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Dou Jiande slightly cupped his hands and said.
Subsequently.
Yuan Buji took out an iron hand order and handed it to Zhang Zhongjian. At the same time, he said: "It is not appropriate for our iron hand regiment to take action. Regarding how to go against the imperial court, we dare not listen, let alone do it. Everything has to be done by my brother." It’s one person’s responsibility.”
"Master Yuan, I wonder if the Wubao leader who was so powerful in Guanzhong decades ago was not like this. Could it be that Yang Jian's sharp sword wiped away all your ambitions?"
Zhang Zhongjian took the Iron Hand Order representing the leader of the Iron Hand Regiment, curled his lips, and sneered.
This Yuan Buji dominated the world when he was young. Because of his extraordinary martial arts skills, he had already achieved great fame in the underworld.
After that, the power of the Iron Shou Tuanwubao grew stronger, and they gradually colluded with Yang Jian, the then Duke of Sui. They eradicated many hostile forces in the underground world and became famous for a while.
However, as Yang Jian unified the world, this sharp blade in the darkness also became the tiger on the ruler's bedside.
After a major purge against the Guanzhong Iron Hand Regiment, Yuan Buji led his elites to flee to Hebei, where they quietly lurked and developed their power.
As for how Zhang Zhongjian met Yuan Buji, the reason is very simple. Prince Yang Yong's concubine was named Yuan, and Yuan Buji was also named Yuan.
The second day.
Zhang Zhongjian and Dou Jiande left.
Yuan Buji sat firmly in his residence in the underground palace, listened carefully to the direction of Zhang Zhongjian's retreat, and nodded slightly unconsciously.
"He wants to contact Han Wang Yang Liang. This is indeed a good choice... If the matter succeeds, our Iron Hand Regiment will have the strength to enter the world. If the matter fails, then this land of Hebei may not be able to stay anymore. "
Yuan Buji's eyes flickered, thinking in his heart.
After the changes in the political situation.
Yuan Buji thought he had seen the world clearly.
The era when the Yuan clan was in power has passed.
But now, what he can do is either stay behind the scenes and play chess with the world, or live in a corner and enjoy wealth for a lifetime.
therefore.
Yuan Buji had to prepare for the worst.
"Send my order to help the people in the central region migrate to the land of Youyan and Jiangnan, and establish a foothold in these two places for future development."
Yuan Buji slowly stood up and said to the other eleven hall masters.
"yes!"
The eleven hall masters handed over their hands together and followed the order and left.
After everyone leaves.
Yuan Buji clapped his hands gently.
Applause is guaranteed.
However, he saw another man in black robe walking out of the shadow of the underground palace.
"Send this letter to Chang'an... Oh no, it should be called Daxing now. Put it in the hands of Yin Shishi."
Yuan Buji took out a letter from his arms and handed it into the hands of the man in black robe.
The man in black robe nodded, said nothing, turned around silently, and left quickly.
…
Bingzhou.
The capital of the Han Dynasty.
Yang Liang, the king of Han Dynasty, who was in charge of the army and horses in Bingzhou, lived here.
And the last few days.
Yang Liang's mood was not beautiful.
Some days ago.
Because the queen was alone, Jia Luo died.
As a biological son, Yang Liang rushed to Daxing City to attend his mother's funeral.
But as soon as I arrived in Daxing City.
He was immediately blocked from the city by his uncle Yang Yichen.
What's more, when the day came for the clan's children to bid farewell to their mother's coffin, he could only watch from a distance and could not come close to worship at all.
On the other hand, his second brother Yang Guang, who had full authority to handle funeral matters, seemed to be the official crown prince of the Sui Dynasty.
but.
Yang Liang can tolerate these things.
Because he was far away in Bingzhou and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Bingzhou under his command.
If Yang Guang knows the truth, he can surrender in the name of his younger brother.
If Yang Guang is really ignorant, then these hundreds of thousands of Bingzhou soldiers and horses can naturally go all the way south and enter Guanzhong.
And now.
Yang Guang obviously doesn't know much about faces.
"Your Highness, Cao Pei Wen'an, the soldier in charge of Bingzhou's army and horses, would like to see you."
At this moment.
The guards serving outside the door bowed to report.
"Let him in quickly!"
Yang Liang waved his hand and said.
Not long after.
Pei Wen'an, who was tall and thin with a handsome appearance, walked in quickly and bowed.
"Okay, no need to be polite, what is the outcome of what the lonely king asked Chu to investigate?"
Yang Liang stopped Pei Wen'an and asked.
"I have investigated the matter clearly. This rumor did spread from Daxing City, saying that His Highness the King of Jin pushed Princess Qionghua into the Imperial Garden Pool and then falsely accused the Crown Prince of practicing witchcraft."
Pei Wen'an replied respectfully.
"As expected by the lonely king, my father is currently resting in Renshou Palace. It is said that he has not been in good health these days. Then some young people in the court immediately jumped out and caused trouble in the world."
Yang Liang sneered and said.
"Then in your opinion, is this matter true or false?"
Pei Wen'an asked next.
"If the lonely king tells him to be true, it will be true; if the lonely king tells him to be false, it will be false! Send an order to summon the civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty to discuss matters!"
at this time.
Yang Liang stood up suddenly.
He swung the big cloak behind him and walked straight to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.
After a while.
The civil and military officials from the Han Palace and Bingzhou Governor came to the meeting hall together.
These people share weal and woe with Yang Liang, and they are all subordinates that Yang Liang trusts greatly.
Wait until everyone arrives.
Yang Liang stood up with his sword and said loudly: "Everyone must have heard about what happened in Daxing City. Now in the court, someone is making rumors and falsely accusing the prince of treason. As a vassal in the world, the lonely king naturally wants to go to the court to report this matter. The investigation is clear... So, the lonely king is preparing to bring troops to the court, are you willing to accompany him?"
As soon as this statement came out.
All the officials under his command were extremely surprised.
Among them, Chang Shi Huangfudan said quickly: "Your Highness, the situation in the world is stable now, the people are tired of war, and the old princes who are stationed in all directions have added many troops. If we act rashly, I am afraid we will be completely defeated!"
It would be better if Huangfu Dan didn't say this.
As soon as he said this, he immediately touched a barb in Yang Liang's heart.
"Hmph! Several kings with different surnames can expand their army and increase their troops. The lonely king is a high-ranking prince, but he is not as good as a few old men? What does Yang Guang want to do when he expands the army for Luo Yi? Isn't it just to guard against the lonely king?"
Yang Liang's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly.
"Your Highness, this is a conspiracy of the King of Jin. The purpose is to make you fall into the trap. You have to guard against it!"
Huangfu Dan continued to advise.
"Hmph! Huangfu Dan, you dare to disturb the morale of our army. Do you really think that you, a long-standing official of the imperial court, can't be killed by the solitary king?"
Seeing Huangfudan still chattering endlessly.
Yang Liang's face suddenly showed a look of disgust.
He waved his hand and asked several soldiers to drag Huangfudan down.
After the noisy person left.
Yang Liang continued to ask: "The Lone King has decided on this matter. As for the strategy of raising troops to enter the court, do you have any good strategies?"
