Chapter 109: Information War
Gongsun Ce reminded at this time: "Brother Bao, the big guards have brought back more than 20 Mutianhui Rebellion. What should we do? Liu Jiwen and others originally planned to be beheaded tomorrow. Does it need to be rescheduled?"
Bao Zheng frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Those twenty more rioters, probably can't ask anything at this time. However, they are excellent baits and cannot give them any chance to seek death. I have a wonderful use to guard me! As for Liu Jiwen and Lu Zhanyuan, according to the original plan, they will be executed tomorrow! Not only will I kill these two people, but I will also make great contributions to let everyone in the capital know about this matter!"[]
Bao Zheng had long been concerned about the forces he faced now, and Liu Chenggui and Ding Wei's gang are the first to be affected! If Bao Zheng wants to deal with them, he must seize the initiative. Create public opinion and let himself stand on the justice side, and get more support.
Bao Zheng continued: "Brother Gongsun and Brother Lin, you two will bring some people to help Bao write all the crimes of Liu Jiwen and others into notices and post them on the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Prefecture and Bianjing. He also stated that these extremely evil people will be executed tomorrow."
Although Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan didn't have much rest last night, they saw that Bao Zheng did not sleep day and night for the sake of the great affairs of the court. At this time, they planned everything and thought carefully, and couldn't help but help him willingly.
Prince Zhao Zhen was not very familiar with the Liu Jiwen case, but he didn't know what Bao Zheng had plans. He immediately asked, "Bao Zheng, you are not dealing with the Moutianhui now, but you have been targeting Liu Jiwen and others who have nothing to do with the Moutianhui. Could it be that there is any deep meaning?"
Bao Zheng immediately replied: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Mai Tianhui is actually very involved. Liu Jiwen is just a chess piece that touched them. This is a contest between us and the Mai Tianhui. If we want to win, we not only need the right time and place, but also the harmony of people. As long as the people of Bianjing City support us, why should we be afraid of the Mai Tianhui with only more than 30,000 people."
Cui Wei listened for a long time and understood the whole story, and immediately said: "Bao Zheng's move is to seize the peace first and create an atmosphere of storm, which will put us and the enemy in a situation of alertness and tension. The quieter the situation, the more beneficial it will be for the Fortianhui who does not have a moral advantage. They suddenly attacked and prevented it. The more chaotic the situation, the more difficult our people will be to attack. It will be more beneficial to us to occupy the moral advantage. Moreover, Bao Zheng also monitored and controlled the Snake Head. Once the situation is chaotic, the Snake Head will definitely not be able to withstand it and will take action first. At that time, we can seize their life gate and concentrate on counterattacking the Snake Head. As long as the Snake Head is destroyed, the interests of the Fortianhui will easily be distracted. At that time, we are in a comprehensive counterattack and defeat each one, without any effort. We can also move out all hidden forces."
After hearing Cui Wei's explanation, the prince finally sorted out all Bao Zheng's abacus. Bao Zheng said a little embarrassedly: "Bao has made a lot of calculations, but he still can't escape the magical eyes of Fairy Cui Wei."
Bao Zheng turned to the prince Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Highness, Bao Zheng now needs more people to implement the next plan. I wonder how many reliable confidants the prince can call?"
The prince stretched out a finger and said, "Now there are only one thousand people who can call! If I ask my father for advice, I can mobilize more people."
Bao Zheng hurriedly said, "You can't let the emperor know now! According to the clues I knew before, there are definitely many people from the Ma Tianhui around you. If you report it, it is very likely that the Ma Tianhui will make a countermeasure." Bao Zheng said this, but he thought to himself: Prince, your fake mother, is likely to wear a pair of pants with Liu Mei. If Empress Liu knows the plan, she is afraid that the plan to catch the snake head will be ruined.
Bao Zheng continued at this time: "Now, in addition to the prince's confidants, there are also Kou Tang's people. Unfortunately, Kou Sui has not returned yet, otherwise we will have more new forces." After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he called a yamen runner and asked him to send a message to Kou Sui and asked him to come back first.
After Zhao Zhen and others sent by Bao Zheng walked away, they couldn't help but say, "Kou Tang does not need Kou to be sent to the dispatch, and I also have the right to call Kou Tang's men. Kou Tang's number is not large, only about a thousand people, but each of them is good at it, no less than the great guards."
Bao Zheng was overjoyed and said, "Since that's the case, first cut off the connection between the palace and the outside. As long as you see anyone who spreads the news from the palace or who spreads the news from the palace, you will catch Kaifeng Prefecture. Now that Lord Kou is dead, someone will definitely send it to the palace secretly."
Although Zhao Zhen was very puzzled why Bao Zheng gave such an order, he still ordered him according to Bao Zheng's words. Five hundred Zhao Zhen's confidants were sent out to monitor all entrances and exits of the palace.
Bao Zheng continued: "The garrisons in the capital are all stationed in the barracks outside the four gates. There are not many patrol troops in the city, only 20,000. If they want to make the head and tail unable to echo, they must control the four gates."
Gongsun Ce said at this time: "Ximen has been controlled by Lord Kou! The city gate guards there were all arrested because they let Liu Jiwu go."
Bao Zheng nodded and said, "If we want to control the four city gates, our strength is obviously not enough. It is extremely difficult for a Ximen to fully control it. However, if we do not control the city gate, we can control the necessary path to the military camp outside the city gate and cut off their message. In our hands, we sent hundreds of masters out of the Ximen, guard the fortress of the four gates, and block the messenger."
Zhao Zhen immediately ordered the dispatch of the Grand Inner Guards to the Fourth Gate. With this order, fewer and fewer people around Zhao Zhen were around him.
Zhao Zhen immediately sent someone to Kou Tang to send an order, asking Kou Tang's people to gather in Kaifeng Prefecture immediately. Kou Tang was originally a special institution established by Kou Zhun for the sake of national security secrets, which was similar to Longhu Hall. However, Longhu Hall was controlled by Liu Mei and was obviously unbearable to use. However, although Liu Mei was nominally the leader of Longhu Hall, it was impossible to send Longhu Hall to do things for him. Longhu Hall became a force that neither Zhao Zhen nor Liu Mei could use.
Half an hour later, people outside the door had already flashed into the yard from time to time. Kou Tang's people were all disguised as ordinary people and quietly came to the Kaifeng Prefecture Office. Soon after, as many as a thousand people came.
Bao Zheng waited until Kou Tang was almost all, and then said to Zhao Zhen: "Now that the people are ready, we will not move our troops and wait and see if there is any movement on the Matianhui side and we have the evidence, we will start to carry out the beheading operation." Bao Zheng said, but he held his palm on his neck and made a move to wipe his neck.,,,,
Bao Zheng planned everything in Kaifeng Prefecture, but at this time, there was a person in a pile of thatched trees dozens of miles away from Bianjing City.
The person hidden in it was Liu Jiwu. On the official road not far from the pile of thatched piles, hundreds of Kou Tang were searching carefully. Kou Sui was carrying a Panlong stick and sitting on the horse, saying in confusion: "The blood is coming here, why did it suddenly disappear? Could it be that Liu Jiwu just disappeared?"
At this moment, he heard a horse riding behind him. The man riding a horse came to Kou Sui and said anxiously: "Major General Kou, Lord Kou Zhun Kou has died. Lord Bao asked me to inform you and ask you to return to Beijing immediately."
After hearing the bad news, Kou Sui was stunned as if he was roaring in his mind. In a flash, he shouted in grief: "Brother Kou Tang, go home!"
The people of Kou Tang were led by Kou Sui and went straight to the capital, and soon all disappeared. After waiting for a long time, Liu Jiwu walked out of the pile of thatched trees. He glanced at the direction of Kou Sui's disappearance and couldn't help but think in his heart: Kou Zhun is dead? Is the situation in the capital already tense?
Liu Jiwu had these questions in his mind, and his thoughts changed sharply. After a while, he said to himself: "It seems that the capital is already in great chaos, so it is definitely not OK to return to the capital. Do you really have to follow his father's plan to defect to that person?"
Liu Jiwu stood beside the official road and thought for a long time, bandaged the wound on his body, and finally headed towards the northwest.
