While Wang Li was being interrogated, a pigeon suddenly flew up from a certain tent in the camp, but was shot down by an arrow soon after.
Yang Ding's general Yang Kuan led his soldiers to surround the tent.
A person was captured from inside.
This person turned out to be a petty official next to Yang Ding, who lived in the city lord's mansion.
It's no wonder that he couldn't be found during the city-wide manhunt.
This petty official was also quickly sent for interrogation.
He endured the torture for a much shorter time than Wang Li, and he was completely beaten after a few whips.
Through the interrogation of Wang Li and this petty official, Wei Guang and others dug out a group of people hidden in Wuyuan County and Yanmen County to execute the assassination of Liu Cheng.
In Pingcheng, Liu Cheng and his army had just arrived here when they received a report from the Bronze Mirror Division.
"I didn't expect that they really wanted Yang Ding to lead his army to raid the Danhanshan camp.
But after I arrived, these assassins along the way were just appetizers to paralyze us."
Chen Qun cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I think I can close the network.
If it is delayed any longer, Tang Hao and the others will wonder if there is something wrong.
It is just right to pass the news on at this time."
Liu Cheng looked at the memorial in his hand and said: "It says that the person responsible for delivering the news is called He Jin.
Then let this He Jin deliver the news to Chang'an to convince Tang Mao and his gang that I am dead.
They only have Only after receiving the news that I am dead can we send another order to the Bronze Mirror Division, with them as the main force, and let the local garrison cooperate to eradicate the assassins hiding in Gaoliu."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
"Okay, let's go."
Liu Cheng nodded and shouted to the outside of the tent: "In addition, the order was sent to break camp tomorrow and rush to Danhanshan Camp at full speed.
As for Yang Ding, let him lead his army to stage an ambush on me after arriving at Baidao in Yinshan Mountain.
In the drama of the army, there is no guarantee that there are still people hiding and not being dug out.
After all, you have to make a show to make people believe it."
"Yes" Chen Qun agreed and went out.
Liu Cheng walked to the desk, picked up the sword, held the handle and pulled out a section.
"If you guys really jump into the pit, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Chang'an, Taishi Mansion, late at night.
Not long after Tang Hao fell asleep, a voice sounded outside the room: "Master, master, there is news from the north."
Tang Mao was sleeping with his concubine in his arms.
When he heard the sound, he immediately got up, picked up a piece of clothing and walked out of the room.
"Master, there is news from the north," the servant said to Tang Mao standing outside the door.
Tang Mao asked: "When did it come?"
"Just now" "Let's go to the secret room."
Tang Hao said and led his servants to the secret room.
The oil lamp was lit and the lantern in the servant's hand was blown out.
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tang Mao.
After Tang Hao took it, he didn't open it immediately.
Instead, he checked the paint on the letter.
The paint was intact.
He felt relieved and asked while opening the letter: "It's late at night, and the city gate has been closed for a long time.
How letters were delivered into the city?"
The servant said: "It was delivered to the city in the afternoon.
I was just worried that the Grand Master's Mansion would be followed, so it was not delivered directly to the Mansion, but I went to pick it up in person."
Tang Hao nodded, unfolded the letter, and looked happy after reading it.
He was about to speak, but frowned and said: "Today is the eighth day of the lunar month.

This news was sent out on the fourth day of the lunar month.
It has been four days."
Logically speaking, Liu Cheng's death was a big deal.
The general in charge of the army should have immediately dispatched a 800-mile speed horse to deliver the news to Chang'an.
It would only take three days at most to arrive, but everything in Chang'an City was calm. , is this a little abnormal?”
The servant said: "Master, I think this is normal.
Think about how big a deal it is for Liu Cheng to die.
How could the people in Da Sima's Mansion announce this news before they decide who will succeed Liu Cheng?"
Come out, it's too late to tightly block the news.
There will definitely be a fight among them."
Tang Mao could no longer calm down.
He suddenly remembered something and asked: "What line did this news come from?"
"Line 1"
Tang Mao frowned and said, "Are you sure about Line 1?"
"Yes, it's definitely Line 1."
Tang Hao thought for a long time, suppressed the urge to start an incident immediately, and said to his servant: "Wait a moment, as if nothing happened tonight, if there is news from Line 2, report it immediately."
"Yes, sir" The next day, everything was as usual, everything was calm in Chang'an City, but some people who observed carefully felt that today was different from the past.
Tang Hao had been awake all night since he received the news from Line 1 last night.
He had been struggling until after noon today.
He finally waited for the news from Line 2.
There were only two words on a small paper roll: "Mortality and Death" ".
Although there are only two words, it is enough to explain everything.
Tang Mao finally showed a long-lost smile, which gradually turned into surprise, ecstasy, and finally a look of madness.
Tang Hao put away the small scroll and told his servants: "Go and tell them one by one that Liu Cheng is dead and there will be an incident at midnight tonight."
"Yes, sir" In less than half an hour, the news reached Da Sima Mansion.
After listening to the report of the minor official, Jia Xu, who was on duty, shouted: "Come here, please invite Xun You, Li Ru, and Guo Jia.
Also call General Xu Huang."
"Yes, sacrificial wine" After receiving the notice, Xun You, Li Ru, Guo Jia and others rushed over one after another.
Jinwu General Xu Huang also rushed over quickly.
He was responsible for the security of the whole city and had 12,000 troops in his hands.
After everyone had arrived, Jia Xu said: "Everyone, Tang Mao and his people are planning to launch their attack at midnight tonight.
We must be prepared now.
We should inform those who should be informed, and we should keep an eye on those who should be informed."
Guo Jia held the cattail leaf fan and said with a smile: "These people are finally going to take action, and it can finally make people worry less."
Xu Huang was confused, he had no idea what happened.
Jia Xu said: "General Xu" Xu Huang cupped his fists and said, "Jia Jijiu sent someone to tell me what's going on in the future?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "There is a group of people in the court who are plotting to assassinate my lord.
They received news a few days ago that my lord was successfully assassinated by them in Yanmen, so they are preparing to start a rebellion at midnight tonight.
The general is General Jinwu, who has a heavy army." , to counter the rebellion tonight, we need to ask General Xu to send troops."
Xu Huang raised his eyebrows: "That lord" "Of course my lord is fine.
Everything is under my control.
Those people have been secretly working and plotting rebellion.
My lord has heard about it for a long time.
It's just that my lord is quick to follow the rules and won't be able to move unless he has something to do with them.
They, now they are preparing to rebel, and as long as they launch it, the evidence of the crime will be conclusive and final, and no one can refute it."

Xu Huang said: "Since you know that their actions are rebellious, why do you tolerate them until now?
What do you think, my lord?"
Jia Xu and others looked at each other, and Guo Jia said: "Because this group of people is headed by Tang Mao, the head of the country, if there is no conclusive evidence, it will be difficult for the lord to explain to the emperor.
The lord still respects his majesty.
In the words of the lord, The relationship between monarch and ministers must be harmonious, so that the entire court can be consistent in dealing with the outside world."
"Having said that, there are military rules in the army.
If you want to mobilize troops and horses, you have to use the tiger talisman.
Please ask Jia Jijiu to show the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops.
Otherwise, please forgive me for not obeying the order."
Jia Xu took out half of the tiger charm from his arms and handed it over.
After Xu Huang took it, he took out the other half of the tiger talisman from his arms and it passed the inspection.
After confirming that it was correct, he nodded and clasped his fists and said, "What do you need me to do, general?"
"There are two most important places where we need to secretly deploy troops for defense now.
The first is the Grand Sima Mansion.
This is where government and military orders are issued.
The most important thing is the Protector's Mansion.
We must protect the lord's family and ensure that nothing happens.
General Xu only needs to be responsible for the security of these two places."
Xu Huang asked: "How many guards do Da Sima Mansion have on a daily basis?"
"two hundred" Xu Huang thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "My general will send people to hide nearby.
Once the Da Sima Mansion is attacked, you only need to hold on for a cup of tea.
Within the time of a cup of tea, my general will send troops."
Malay Rescue As for the Protectorate’s Mansion, its location is not so conspicuous.
The general can send people secretly in batches during the afternoon to hide them in order to conceal this arrangement from others.
You are satisfied. " Jia Xu and several others looked at each other and nodded, "General Xu has thought carefully, so let's do it this way."
"Okay, I will go back and prepare now.
Say goodbye."
After Xu Huang left, Jia Xu said to everyone: "I'm afraid the palace has to make arrangements.
Once something happens, no one can guarantee the loyalty of the leading generals."
Xun You stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Let me go there.
General Lu Weihuang, who was the first to follow Your Majesty, should be reliable.
Although his ability is not outstanding, he is better than his loyalty and composure."
"If that's the case, then I'll bother Gongda to make a trip."
Li Ru asked at this time: "There are many soldiers and horses in Chang'an City.
There are only a few in total, but they are relatively scattered.
The most important person in the city now is General Zuo Wuwei Chen Dao.
Do you want to send someone to inform him?"
Hit him" Guo Jia said: "I don't think it's necessary.
The lord may have made arrangements before he left.
Besides, we can also take this opportunity to see how loyal the generals are to the lord."
At this time, a petty official ran in and reported: "Please report the wine sacrifice, Xun Lingjun is here."
Several people looked at each other, "Why is he here?"
Before anyone could speak, Xun Yu quickly walked in holding the government official's skirt.
He saw Jia Xu, Xun You, Li Ru, Guo Jia and others were there, so he asked: "Did you already know that we were discussing how to act?
Why?"

I tell me" Everyone looked quite embarrassed.
Xun You stood up and said, "Uncle, there are a few people in that group who are with you.
We are afraid that it will be difficult for you.
We don't tell you to avoid suspicion."
Xun Yu said angrily: "You think I will ignore public and private matters?"
Jia Xu stood up and smoothed things over: "Since Xun Lingjun already knows about this, why not let Xun Lingjun make arrangements from the center?
We will all obey your orders."
"No, just tell me your arrangements, I'll listen
