Chapter 1033 Li Ling's Plan (Part 2)

Facing the other party's surprise question, Li Ling smiled again: "I have never denied to you that I am an official. To be honest, my surname is Li Ling. I was the Northern Army's money and grain transport envoy before, but this time I just returned to Beijing for something."

"Li Ling...you are Li Ling..."

Not only Gu Fei exclaimed at him, but also the haggard and tired Youyunzhuang family members and ordinary soldiers also screamed, and then looked at him with admiration.

Even Li Ling himself was stunned by their reaction. He really didn't expect that his reputation would be so great.

In fact, he really underestimated the huge impact of this victory in the Northern Expedition. This was the largest victory against foreign enemies in the Dayue in a century, which had never happened during the Taizong Dynasty. It can be said that this victory in the Northern Expedition, which swept across the northern part of Mobei and killed countless casualties and wounded by Guirong tribes, was unparalleled to encourage the people of the world.

Especially for the people in the north, when they knew that Gui Rong was beaten so miserably that it would not be possible to invade our border again in the next few dozens or hundreds of years, everyone felt relieved and revenge. While celebrating this rare victory in a century, everyone was naturally full of respect for the former generals who led the army to sweep Gui Rong. They really wanted to set up a tablet of immortality for them, and kowtowed at home every day to pray.

As an official who had a good reputation among the people, and this time he relied on his abilities to ensure sufficient logistics for the Northern Expedition, Li Ling naturally had a considerable public hope. Not to mention those officers and soldiers, even ordinary people admired him very much, and they always kowtowed and thanked him when they met.

Now he actually appeared in front of everyone, and came in the posture of rescuing innocent people. This impact was stronger and made people admire him more. At this moment, the officers and soldiers no longer hesitated and immediately protected the people of Youyun Village with great pride and headed straight to the governor's mansion.

At this time, there was a nervous situation in front of the Governor's Office. After knowing that the Governor was assassinated by these guys, the officers and soldiers who arrived were both confused and angry, and wanted to avenge the killed Governor. However, as Sun Bi and his friends decisively retreated to the yamen and closed the door, the army generals with an absolute leader were a little confused.

Although they did launch an attack on the main gate of the Governor's Office, they were beaten back by Sun Bi and others who were prepared. Then they decided to wait until the troops elsewhere arrived, and rely on their absolute advantage of military strength to advance the Governor's Office and tear the perpetrators to pieces.

Then, Feng Tang and Li Ling came with their men. As soon as they saw another five or six hundred people arrived, the general in charge immediately became confident and immediately ordered: "You, hurry up and kill me and climb over the wall over there..."

"Jiang Xiao, when will the troops in the city be controlled by your battalion commander?" Feng Tang immediately shouted annoyed when he saw that the other party had completely ignored the existence of his dignified prefect.

Jiang Xiao, who was named, only snorted: "Prince Feng, you a civil servant, came here to join in the fun? You are not afraid of hurting yourself? The affairs of our Governor's Office will naturally be handled by our soldiers, so you will not be asked to interfere!" After saying that, he ignored the other party's reaction and urged again, "What are you still standing there? Why don't you kill me? Those thieves actually killed the Governor, it's really a crime!"

This made Feng Tang stunned, and even made him ignore the other party’s cold mockery of him just now. Then Luo Wuguan was actually dead? Was this the one who was killed after Li Ling’s arrangement? What was his purpose?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Li Ling beside him. At the same time, the situation when Li Ling suddenly came to see him not long ago-

Just over half an hour ago, everything in the city was very stable, and Feng Tang was only reading books in his mansion, and then a servant came to report that he was a guy named Li Ling, who claimed to be an old friend of the past, came to ask for a meeting.

Feng Tang naturally had a good impression of this name. This was not only because Li Ling was a colleague of his official position in Jiangnan and had some friendships, but also because the other party has risen too fast in recent years. In just a few years, he was promoted from a fifth-rank prefect to a third-rank senior, and also became the Minister of Finance in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Transport Department. During the Northern Expedition, he also controlled the logistics mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops.

It is impossible to say that you don’t envy or be jealous, especially since the current situation of the prefect Feng is really unbearable. He is actually suppressed by a rude and uncivilized general, and almost all his power is deprived. The feeling of being bored and being completely emptied is too uncomfortable, especially for an official like him who has quite ambitions.

So compared with the two, he was naturally very jealous of Li Ling's current power and achieved success. But at the same time, he was quite surprised. Why did Li Ling, who was supposed to be in Youzhou, come to Bingzhou?

Although he felt strange in his heart, he still wanted to see him, so he went to the door to pick up the guests. After returning to the living room with Li Ling, the other party did not greet him at all, and went straight in: "As far as I know, Brother Jiyuan's situation is not very good recently, but has he been suppressed by the governor Luo and lost any chance to show his performance?" Jiyuan was Feng Tang's name.

Such a straightforward question caught Feng Tang off guard and hesitated and didn't know how to answer. However, Li Ling obviously didn't think about asking him to answer, but immediately said: "I'm here today to help you, my old friend. I want to get rid of Luo Wujie."

"You...what did you say?" Feng Tang thought he had heard it wrong, or was this guy going crazy?

"Soon, the war in the north will end. At least a hundred years, the northern border will be peaceful. In this way, Bingzhou is still south of Youzhou, and with sufficient security, there will be no use of so-called generals who only know how to monopolize the power and are greedy." Li Ling stared at him with a bright look, "Do you want to take this opportunity to avenge your previous shame?"

Feng Tang was still hesitating, and he even thought that Li Ling was playing a very unfunny joke with him, but with the sudden sound of killing from the Governor's Office, he suddenly realized that Li Ling was serious and he really took action!

The next sentence made him even more moved: "Luo Wuguan will die this time, but the thousands of soldiers and horses in the city are innocent after all, so I hope that those who can trust can control the situation. Brother Jiyuan, you are the ones I can trust. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I dare not say anything else, so that you can truly become the master of Bingzhou, I can still guarantee it."

"What do you... want me to do?" Feng Tang asked this question after a tragic mission.

Li Ling smiled. As long as the other party was moved, the next thing would be easier: "Mobilize all the troops and horses that can be mobilized in the government office, and then follow me to the prison first. There is conclusive evidence that the crime of Luo Wuguan is cured, and then we can go to the governor's office with justification and deal with him."

Looking at Li Ling's confident look and thinking about the situation where he was suppressed in the past two years, Prefect Feng finally bit his teeth and decided to take the risk of cooperating with Li Ling. After all, the other party's identity was there, Luo Wuguan, and he had to lower his head in front of this third-rank court official.

Then there was a scene before the prison. Now they appeared in front of the Governor's Office again and then learned that Luo Wu Pass was dead. Therefore, what Li Ling said about Luo Wu Pass was dead did not mean that he would kill him after taking down the person, but that he had already killed him.

Is this guy too brave? He is a fourth-rank military general in the court, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command! He actually killed him as soon as he said he could kill him?

For a moment, Feng Tang regretted his choice. But then, he was shocked again. At this point, he actually had no choice. He had only one way to go and followed Li Ling to calm down the current chaos in Bingzhou City.

After making up his mind, Feng Tang's eyes also flashed, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on, take down this bastard who is good at making decisions and has no superiors!" As he spoke, he pointed his hand and pointed it at Jiang Xiao.

The officers and soldiers hesitated for a moment and rushed over. However, there were many personal soldiers guarding each other around Jiang Xiao. Seeing this, they quickly raised their swords to greet each other. The two sides immediately fought in one place, but for a moment, no one could do anything to anyone...

Seeing this, Prefect Feng was even more shocked. He thought he could do it well, but he didn't expect that something happened in the middle. Now he was really in a difficult situation and didn't know what to do.

However, Li Ling still had only that determined smile. He looked at Jiang Xiao in front of him and suddenly shouted: "Mo Yun, do it!"

Before he finished speaking, a man suddenly emerged from the high wall on the Governor's Office, only a little above the wall. The man was already rushing down like a kite. The light of the sword flashed, he had already passed by the heads of dozens of soldiers in front of him and slashed Jiang Xiao.

Whether it was Jiang Xiao or the guards, they were focusing on other comrades who were rushing over, trying their best to get in touch with him, thinking about how to defend the front. How could they expect someone to take this risk? They only had time to let out a scream, and the sword light had already passed by Jiang Xiao's neck.
