After returning to Hejian Mansion, Su Yonglin stepped up military preparations and intelligence infiltration to the north. He collected intelligence on Wanyan Liang's movements from various aspects and tried to determine the time period when the Jin army moved south.
Preliminary judgment shows that the time period for the Jin army to move south is winter, which is the most suitable time for superior cavalry to attack. If Wanyan Liang wanted to maximize his strength advantage, it would be most appropriate to send troops in winter.
However, Wan Yanliang never plays by the rules. For a man who kills a king and usurps the throne to become emperor, there are no rules that cannot be broken.
But in some ways, as long as it's an individual, the reaction is the same.
For example, when Wan Yanliang learned about what was happening on the front lines of the counter-insurgency war in early May, if his anger could be used to generate electricity, basically nothing would happen to the Three Gorges Dam.
That's a huge rage.
He was so angry that he almost burst into flames.
If he could still accept Xiao Tula's deception, he couldn't accept Gao Cunfu's deception at all. Really, he couldn't accept it at all.
His trust in Gao Cunfu was quite high, otherwise he would not have given Gao Cunfu the task of guarding Wan Yanyong, but this bastard deceived him.
Wan Yanliang's outburst of anger showed that he was calm instead of yelling, just like a normal person.
He called Heshi Lieliangbi, who was busy with his business, to him and told him about the matter.
Heshi Lieliangbi was shocked.
"They actually deceived the superiors and concealed the truth like this?!"
Wan Yanliang's face was so dark that it was almost dripping with water.
"Whether it is true or not, I have already made eight or nine points of judgment, but Gao Cunfu is my old friend after all. I hope this is false and that the messenger is deceiving me, so I have put the messenger in jail and will not be there for the time being. believe him.
You help me go to the front line to see what the actual situation is. If the situation on the front line is really as bad as the messenger said, and the Khitan rebels are getting stronger and stronger, then you can use my sword to kill Xiao Tu. La and Gao Cunfu were dismissed from office and brought before me. "
Heshi Lieliangbi was shocked when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, and asked: "Does your Majesty want me to capture the general of the army and the deputy guard in Tokyo on the front line?"
"Yes."
Wanyan nodded and said, "Why, you don't dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare."
Heshi Lieliangbi whispered: "The army is fighting. No matter what the battle situation is, it will never be defeated. However, if we rashly capture the general, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army and may affect the morale of the army."
"If Xiao Tula deceives me, I will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. The crime is unpardonable. There is no problem in taking him down."
Wan Yanliang shook his head and said: "As for the situation on the front line, leave it to the deputy general Xiao Huaizhong. Although Xiao Huaizhong is also guilty, he is not the chief general. Let's keep him in office for the time being. Let him perform meritorious service and attack with all his strength. The Khitan rebels must be quelled within a month."
Wan Yanliang seemed calm, but what he said sounded like angry words.
This made Heshi Lieliangbi even more worried.
"Your Majesty, even if Xiao Tula was deceiving, he must have wanted to defeat the rebels. However, despite all his efforts, he failed to defeat the rebels. This shows that the rebels are not weak. Even if the generals are changed, they will still be defeated. The general must be given enough time. If restrictions are imposed, it may cause the general to advance rashly..."
The more Heshi Lieliangbi talked, he noticed that Wan Yanliang's expression became uglier, so he did not continue talking.
Although he is "upright", he is not stupid. He knows when he can be upright and when he cannot be upright.
It is not an easy task to make a living under the hands of a moody tyrant like Wan Yanliang.
Sure enough, Wan Yanliang looked at He Shi Lieliangbi with a dead look in his eyes, and his words were full of threats.
"He dared to deceive me even if he limited his time. If he didn't limit his time, wouldn't he want to fight this to eternity? Hebei and Shandong have fallen into the hands of thieves and have not yet been recovered, and the movements of the Southern Dynasty are still unknown. The situation is so urgent, and the Khitan rebellion will continue. drag?"
Heshi Lieliangbi felt the real murderous intention, so he no longer opposed Wan Yanliang's plan.
"I know I was wrong."
Wan Yanliang took a deep breath and controlled the urge to kill.
"If you know you are wrong, do it immediately. Don't delay it any longer. You are not allowed to delay it any longer. If you continue to delay it, I will kill someone."
According to Heshi Lieliangbi's understanding of Wan Yanliang, that's right, there is no way to escape, and people will definitely die in this wave.
It's hard to say whether only Xiao Tula and Gao Cunfu died, or whether there were other unlucky people who died together.
Anyway, Heshi Lieliangbi himself did not want to fall into this death trap.
Therefore, it is better to do things honestly.
Heshi Lieliangbi quickly handed over his official duties and asked his subordinates to help him with it. He then received Wan Yanliang's sword as a certificate to represent the emperor, and was awarded the military power of a thousand cavalry as a force to protect him from harm. .
In this way, the frontline commander Xiao Tula and the deputy Tokyo deputy in charge of logistics Gao Cunfu were relieved of their posts and powers and brought to Zhongdu for trial.
Heshi Lieliangbi moved very quickly. He knew that the emperor's requirements were very high and he could not wait. If he was slow, the emperor would equate him with Gao Cunfu and others, so he abandoned all extra thoughts and sprinted towards Liaoyang, Tokyo with all his strength. Mansion.
It was only May 6 when he arrived in Tokyo, and it was not until he arrived that he informed the Tokyo Stay-at-Home Department of the news, and asked the officials of the Tokyo Stay-at-Home Department to come out to greet the Privy Council envoy Heshi Lieliangbi who was the emperor's special envoy.
Of course Gao Cunfu was the first to know. After learning about it, he was shocked and felt that something was wrong.
What happened that actually caused the emperor to send Privy Councilor Heshi Lieliangbi as a special envoy?
The privy envoy should be in charge of central military affairs and discuss state affairs with the emperor. Why did he come to Tokyo at this time?
there is only one truth.
problem occurs.
Gao Cunfu immediately thought of the emperor's envoy who had been bribed by him before.
Could it be that this bastard took the money but didn't do anything, and instead sold him?
Or did something go wrong, the news leaked, and the emperor learned about it from another channel?
Impossible. He arranged for his own people to be responsible for the entire process, and he was also his eyes and ears inside and outside Tokyo. If we insist on talking about hostile forces, the only hostile force against Gao Cunfu is Wan Yanyong, who is left behind in Tokyo.
But this is even more impossible.
Wan Yanyong was nominally a stay-at-home officer in Tokyo, but in fact he was nothing. If he had the power to issue government orders, it was because the orders did not go out of the stay-at-home office in Tokyo. The real power of the entire Tokyo stay-at-home department was in the hands of Gao Cunfu.
He didn't even think that Wan Yanyong could be harmful to him.
But he had no time to think more, because the people sent by Heshi Lieliangbi stared at him closely and asked him to leave the city quickly to see Heshi Lieliangbi.
