In early April, seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was about to arrive at Jimo Yingcheng, General Zhang Youxun could no longer sit still and summoned Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui to discuss countermeasures.
"Sir, don't hesitate any longer!"
Mao Xingyi said: "This time Governor Lu is here for us. It is probably because our corruption has been exposed. Once Governor Governor Lu arrives at Jimo Yingcheng, what will happen to us? Don't you know, Sir?"
Wang Ye said: "What Mao said about guerrillas is reasonable. Not to mention this time, we have withheld money and food from various ministries in the past. When Lu Duchen pulls out the carrots and brings out the mud, we will be found out about many things."
Zhang Youxun shook his head and said, "Does it really have to go to this point?"
Dong Bihui stood up suddenly and said, "If you can't make up your mind, sir, then let's go back and wait to die!"
Zhang Youxun looked at the three of them, suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since you are not afraid, why should I be afraid!"
Mao Xingyi clapped his hands and said: "My lord, you are mighty! Lu Xiangsheng came at high speed while inspecting the corruption cases along the way. He must not have many people with him. His supervision battalion must have been assigned to various places. We just happened to capture him!"
Zhang Youxun asked: "What happens after we capture Lu Xiangsheng? I don't want to fall into a trap, so I must come up with a foolproof strategy."
"Haha, isn't this easy to handle?"
Mao Xingyi said: "Aren't people everywhere suppressing civil uprisings at the moment? Lu Duchen traveled lightly and simply, so there is no guarantee that he will not encounter rioters. If we and our troops are unable to rescue him, it is at best a delay, and it is not a big deal."
Zhang Youxun laughed loudly and said: "Okay, let's deal with Lu Xiangsheng, and then put the shit basin on the heads of the rioters."
At this time, Wang Ye on the side said: "In addition, Liu Yan is also in the Jimo camp. His new army has five battalions and thousands of elite troops. If we want to capture Lu Xiangsheng, we must first deal with Liu Yan."
When Liu Yan was mentioned, several people became cautious. After all, everyone knew how strong the new army in Liu Yan's hands was. Even the army of slaves and thieves was defeated one after another, not to mention the rabble in the hands of a few people.
Zhang Youxun said: "Liu Yan has a total of seven battalions of new troops in his hands. Lingshan Guard and Aoshan Guard each garrisoned one battalion. Liu Yan took in the refugees a while ago and sent out some soldiers and horses, but now they have come back one after another. The time has just passed. ,Pity."
Mao Xingyi thought for a long time and said, "Then we will find a way to mobilize some of Liu Yan's troops."
"That's easier said than done."
Zhang Youxun immediately denied: "Liu Yan is nominally under my jurisdiction. People say that he listens to the tune but not the propaganda, but Liu Yan doesn't listen to the tune or the propaganda! What can I do?"
Dong Bihui said: "Otherwise, let Liu Yan send a battalion to pick up Lu Xiangsheng?"
Mao Xingyi said: "It's useless. When the time comes, this battalion will still return to Jimo Yingcheng and cannot be separated."
"Then what do you think we should do? This won't work, and that won't work either. Do we have to go head-to-head with Liu Yan's men?"
Mao Xingyi thought for a while and said: "I don't think it's better than this. Your Excellency will come out to express your goodwill to Liu Yan, reward soldiers and horses in the military camp in the city, drag Liu Yan's new army into the camp, and then I will lead the troops to besiege Liu Yan." Yan's Mansion. As long as Liu Yan is captured and some of Liu Yan's commanders are given some benefits, the situation should be able to be stabilized."
Zhang Youxun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
Two days later, Zhang Youxun came to Liu Yan's house with dozens of servants. In the main hall, Zhang Youxun said with a smile: "Haha, Liu Youyi is very busy these days. I have wanted to get close to you for a long time, but I just don't have time. It just happened. I had free time today, so I came over."
Zhang Youxun stared at Liu Yan, observing his words and expressions, and said, "You won't disturb Liu Youyi, right?"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "What are you talking about, sir? It's just that your sudden visit made my subordinates very surprised."
"Haha, colleagues, you should move around more."
Zhang Youxun said: "When I came, I specifically asked Mao Guerrilla to bring wine and meat to the military camp to reward the soldiers of various departments, and let Liu Guerrilla's New Army soldiers also eat and drink together. They are all Paoze brothers, and everyone is having fun together. lively."
Liu Yan laughed loudly, stared at Zhang Youxun and said, "Your Majesty, your kindness is so kind. It makes my subordinates a little confused."
Zhang Youxun said: "Actually, there are many misunderstandings between us. There is no need to mention the past things. In the future, if we get to know each other better, Liu Youyi will naturally know what kind of person I am."
"oh?"
Liu Yan asked: "I wonder what kind of person you are, sir? Please help me clarify my doubts!"
"this……"
Zhang Youxun's face froze. He didn't expect Liu Yan not to go to the road, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
"hehe."
Liu Yan sneered and said: "Since you don't want to talk about yourself, why don't you tell me where Wang Youyi and Dong Youyi went?"
Zhang Youxun stood up suddenly, put his right hand on the handle of the knife, looked at Liu Yan warily, and said, "What do you mean!"
Liu Yan said coldly: "I think you should stop pretending, General. After you conspired with Mao Xingyi, Dong Bihui, and Wang Ye the day before yesterday, news came out from your house. Do you think your plan was flawless? It's just grandstanding. That’s it!”
At this time, Zhang Youxun was breaking out in a cold sweat. He never expected that there was a hidden stake in his house. When did Liu Yan insert it? It’s simply a fantasy!
"Somebody come!"
Zhang Youxun suddenly yelled, but there was no one at the door, and the dozens of servants he brought were still missing. Zhang Youxun secretly screamed something bad, turned around and ran away.
Liu Yan immediately shouted: "Come here!"
In an instant, dozens of guardsmen rushed out from all sides and surrounded Zhang Youxun.
"you!"
Liu Yan sneered and said, "Don't worry, you, Mao Xingyi, Wang Yue, and Dong Bihui will be reunited soon."
"You conspired to besiege the Governor of Shandong. This one crime is enough to kill your whole family."
At this time, Zhang Youxun's face was full of fear. He was surrounded by cold spears and black gunshots. Zhang Youxun couldn't bear the pressure and knelt directly on the ground: "Liu Youxun! Please show me your noble hand. I am willing to give all my wealth to you." You, I just ask you to spare my life!"
Liu Yan stared at Zhang Youxun as if he were a fool and said: "Stop making trouble, I will kill you, and your family property will also belong to me."
Then Liu Yan waved his hand, and several soldiers dragged Zhang Youxun down. The other soldiers exited the main hall and stood by in the yard outside.
At this time, guerrillas Li Jiwen and Hu Zongming came out from behind the screen, both with flattering smiles on their faces.
Liu Yan smiled and said to the two of them: "You two adults are indispensable for being able to see through the conspiracy of Zhang Youxun and the thieves in time. I will report the truth to Governor Lu."
Li Jiwen said happily: "Liu Youyi is so polite. It's a coincidence that the brother of a servant of mine happened to be a servant in Zhang Youxun's house. He heard about this matter from one of Zhang Youxun's concubines, and he immediately told me about it. In exchange for I paid ten taels of silver for drinking."
Hu Zongming said with a smile: "Zhang Youxun, a green-haired turtle, still doesn't know that his concubine was having an affair with his servant, and everything that was said between the bed was spread by the concubine, and nothing was left!"
Liu Yan smiled, but secretly said he was lucky.
"There will be a bloody storm in Jimo Camp today. Please go back first and restrain your subordinates not to get involved."
Li Jiwen and Hu Zongming were very self-aware, so they responded and left in a hurry.
Liu Yan immediately said: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"Immediately notify the guard battalion commander Miao Shao to guard the guerrilla mansion, notify the rear battalion commander Wang Yue to retake the city defense, and the remaining battalions will occupy the main camp and stand by."
"yes!"
"Ask Zhang Youxun, Wang Ye and Dong Bihui what's going on there."
"yes!"
Outside the guerrilla mansion, guerrilla general Wang Ye was waiting nervously for news. More than a hundred of his servants and more than 2,000 subordinates had all been mobilized and assembled two streets away from Liu Yan's mansion. In order to conceal their whereabouts, they almost Occupy all the surrounding houses.
"We agreed to control Liu Yan and send someone to send a signal. Time has passed, why is there still no movement?"
Wang Ye was in a state of chaos at this time. If Zhang Youxun hadn't succeeded, it would have been impossible to capture Liu Yan's mansion with the few men he had, where the first guard battalion of the New Army was stationed!
At this moment, a cannon sounded, and Wang Ye let out a sigh of relief, got on his horse, and shouted loudly: "Follow me and take down Liu Yan's guerrilla mansion!"
More than two thousand people rushed out from the surrounding courtyards, followed Wang Ye with great momentum, and soon surrounded Liu Yan's mansion.
Wang Ye looked at the closed door of the guerrilla mansion and said loudly: "Break the door for me!"
A dozen servants came forward carrying logs prepared in advance, and banged against the door.
With each muffled sound, Wang Ye seemed to be hit in the heart every time: "The situation is not right. Where are the new army soldiers?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw many new army soldiers suddenly appear on the wall, all of them were gunmen, and they fired a volley at the soldiers outside.
"Asshole!"
Wang Ye was also shocked by this scene. He saw his men falling to pieces, and the soldiers and horses surrounding the guerrilla general's residence immediately dispersed.
"What is that bastard Zhang Youxun doing!"
While Wang Ye was cursing, he rode his horse to avoid the cannon fire. The servants around him also dodged, and the streets and alleys suddenly became chaotic. 33
Immediately afterwards, the spearmen and sword and shield bearers of the brigade's guard battalion rushed out from both ends of the street. The New Army soldiers were dressed in iron armor, holding spears, swords and shields, forming a tight square formation. They pressed over from both ends at the same time. Wang Ye He and his men had no way out.
"Fell into a trap!"
No matter how stupid Wang Ye was, he could see that Zhang Youxun had missed. At this time, he looked at the approaching New Army soldiers with a pale face, and hurriedly shouted: "I am the guerrilla general Wang Ye, and I surrender!"
The surrounding soldiers put down their weapons and knelt on the ground consciously to surrender.
After a while, the door to the guerrilla general's residence slowly opened, and Miao Shao, the commander of the Guards Battalion, walked out with a stern face. He was also followed by the left president Qian Zong Wu Xingzhou and the right commander Lu Ying. The three of them walked to the street and watched. Seeing the many prisoners being tied up, as well as the already tied guerrilla general Wang Ye lying on the ground, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Miao Shao mentioned Wang Ye and said, "Wang Youqi, why are you saying that you are doing something wrong? You insist on going against my family, and you want to surround and kill Lu Duchen. Are you stupid, or are you tired of living?"
When Wang Ye heard this, he suddenly cried and said, "I hope the general will say something nice in front of Liu Youyi and spare my life. I will definitely repay him generously in the future!"
Miao Shao shook his head and said, "Forget it, I think you have no future left."
Wang Ye's face suddenly collapsed and he burst into tears in public.
Miao Shao had no intention of paying attention to Wang Ye and asked Wu Xingzhou and Lu Ying to lead the group to clean up the mess. Then he looked in the direction of the camp and said to himself: "I hope everything goes well over there!"
Some people died, but not completely...
