”Lord General, are you that sure?” Zhang Banxian looked at Yang Lin in shock once again. After a long while, she nodded her head and said: ”I will leave immediately. Once we reach Luoyang, I will be in contact with you at all times. ”
Zhang Banxian immediately wrote a report on Recital s, accompanied by a list of meritorious personnel who deserved to be rewarded. After that, she brought Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju's heads and led a small group of cavalry soldiers to hurriedly leave Korean Army Base Camp, heading to Guangyang City overnight.
After three days of trekking, Zhang Banxian and the rest arrived at Guangyang. They even sent people to call for Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Fei Hong, Liang Ming and the others. They brought a few boxes of money with them and rushed to Luoyang without stopping.
After entering the Jizhou, while hurrying, the Zhang Banxian sent out the exorcism to inquire about the whereabouts of the Eunuch who passed down the decree along the way. No matter what, she had to stop the Eunuch in charge of the imperial edict before she had a chance to move. If the Eunuch that passed down orders were to go to the Youzhou, things would become a little troublesome.
Two days later, the exorcism got the news.
So it turned out that the messenger the imperial government had sent was Zhang Jean's trusted eunuch, Little Yellow Gate's Li Yu. At that time, when Yang Lin was bestowed the title of Fair General in the North, the one who came to the Lunan to deliver the decree was also him. Furthermore, he had rejected the money that Yang Lin had given him.
This time, after Li Yu left the Luoyang, he walked and stopped along the way. When he arrived at the Xindu City, Li Yu decided to stay at the letter station. For three days, Li Yu stayed in the inn without coming out. The Young Eunuch s and guards under Li Yu all thought that he was sick, so no one dared to urge him to leave.
After receiving the news of the Eunuch's decree, Zhang Banxian's face revealed a trace of a strange smile. Others might not know it, but he knew it very well. With his intelligence, he immediately understood the purpose of sending the decree to the eunuchs. Immediately, they ordered the convoy to speed up, in case Li Yu and the others got anxious.
That evening, the Zhang Banxian finally made it to the Xindu City before the doors closed. He had Liang Ming and Xin Pi lead the team and find a place to camp outside the city while he, Xin Ping and Fei Hong brought a box of money along with them and entered the city.
When the sky completely darkened, Zhang Banxian, Xin Ping and Fei Hong took the money and arrived at Li Yu's collapsed relay station. A post station is a place where messengers or officials who transmit official documents and military information pass food, lodging, and horses. Li Yu's arrival caused An Ping County's relay station to become much more lively.
”Inform them that it is General Yang Lin's job to seek an audience.” Zhang Banxian took out a money bag from her pocket and threw it into the hands of the Young Eunuch, who was guarding the door.
Although the Eunuch had a lot of power and influence, he was still just a big eunuch like the decathlon. These Young Eunuch s would not only be tired from work all day, they would also be able to eat a hearty meal. Seeing such a big bag of money, his eyes turned green and he hurriedly ran off to report it.
Very quickly, Zhang Banxian and Xin Ping were led into Li Yu's room. Even though they had met Li Yu back in the Lunan, they hadn't said anything. Furthermore, Li Yu didn't have any impression of them. Only after they introduced themselves did Li Yu seem to remember them.
”Hehe …” So you're an old friend! ” After chatting for a bit, Li Yu put down his airs, and laughed lightly. The atmosphere immediately became a lot gentler, he feigned humility and said: ”Lord General is too polite, the rebellion is so urgent, he even sent you guys to welcome us from such a distance.”
”Go back to the Eunuch Li. The rebellion of Zhang Chun has been completely exterminated by the Lord General. The heads of Zhang Chun and Zhang Chun are outside the city.” The Zhang Banxian paused for a moment, then said lightly: ”The reason Lord General sent us here, is to report to the Imperial Court. At the same time, he also wants us to pay a visit to the Eunuch Li and report the results of the rebellion to him. ”
”Oh …” ”So that's how it is!” Li Yu did not seem to be surprised at all. When he had left the Luoyang, he had already known that Yang Lin had eliminated Qiu Liju, and estimated that Zhang Chun would not be able to hold on for more than a few days. There is no need to report to me. You should report to the imperial government as soon as possible. ”
”Of course it's necessary! Lord General has repeatedly told us that we must report to him. ” Zhang Banxian withdrew her smile. She said solemnly, ”Moreover, Lord General said that Eunuch Li is clean and honest. But there are a lot of followers who follow the Eunuch Li, and they specially ordered us to bring a box of money so that the Eunuch Li can send away their servants. ”
”I appreciate your kindness, Lord General. You should take the money.” Hearing that there was a box of money inside, Li Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, but he still pretended to be calm and collected as he waved his hand, ”Help me thank Lord General.
