In order not to alert the enemy, Liu Yu did not rush to do anything or contact the garrison troops around Chang'an City. Soon, news came from Zhaosu's family.

After returning to Chang'an City, Zhaosu immediately went to find the King of Shu, the most powerful king among the vassal kings. After the old King of Shu was convicted and killed by the court, Su Xiao, the eldest son of the King of Shu, inherited the position of King of Shu. Although Su Xiao showed his loyalty to the court in front of Liu Yu, he had hatred for the court in his heart. This time, Su Xiao was responsible for contacting the rebellion between the vassal king and the vassal lord.

Although Zhao Su looks so delicate that she always has to seduce Liu Yu with her physical capital, she still has her own tricks when doing things. Zhao Su first expressed her hatred for Liu Yu to gain Su Xiao’s trust, and then took the opportunity to join the rebellious side.

In the past, the Prince of Hejian was inexplicably injured. Although many people suspected that it was Liu Yu's actions, there was no evidence at that time. However, after Huo Bing established his authority with a short gun on the grassland and the short gun was no longer a secret in the army, many people thought that it was Liu Yu who attacked the Prince of Hejian who was short gun. Although the Prince of Hejian was not dead at that time, he died of sores and wounds over the past year. For Zhaosu, Liu Yu had a grudge against killing his father.

In addition, the news that Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City has not been announced to the public, and no one else would have thought that Zhaosu was a detailed work by Liu Yu's vassal kings.

After returning to Chang'an City, Zhaosu became more cautious. She also knew that she was being stared at by Liu Yu and the vassal kings. Su Xiao still had some doubts about her and did not show any affection for her, but just asked her to go back and wait. As for when Su Xiao would tell her the detailed plan, she herself had no idea, and before there was a definite news, she did not dare to do too much, which caused the squeezing of the forces on both sides of Liu Yu and the vassal kings.

It is difficult to survive in the cracks. It is a portrayal of the current environment of the Zhaosu family.

For two consecutive days, Liu Yu remained silent, and even some people in the city did not contact, which made some of the people under his command feel too angry. Now Liu Yu took the absolute initiative. If he wanted to remove these vassal kings and vassal lords, he would not need so-called "evidence", and they did not understand why Liu Yu did not launch a thunder operation, completely stifle the rebellion in the bud.

Only the calm Liu Yu knew the key behind this rebellion. Liu Yu knew that if these seemingly premature vassal kings and vassal lords who did not dare to act rashly without external support, there would be someone behind them. After thinking about it, Liu Yu could only think of Su Zhe, the last big trouble in his heart.

Liu Yu originally wanted to contact Sui Yi, Li Mi and Han Sheng in the city. These three people could still help him, but he also thought that as the three people in charge of military and political affairs in the city, they must be closely watched by the enemy forces. Once they leave the city or walk around unusually, they will definitely attract the enemy's attention.

So Liu Yu calmed down and stayed outside the city waiting for news as if nothing had happened.

Except for Liu Yu, the troops were still moving. Several people in the city were also inquiring about the news. Among them were Qu Shu's gang, Qu Zhu's army's fine work, and Liu Liniang's intelligence organization. The three parties were secretly investigating the news about the rebellion. Everything seemed to be as calm as usual, without any action. Although the news that Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City was absolutely confidential and only a few people in the army knew about it, some rumors still spread to Chang'an City.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Liu Yu has not appeared in Luoyang City for many days. Instead, the newly rising Liao Mingsheng is receiving officials. Although according to Liao Mingsheng, King Lin was injured when he went south to suppress the rebellion, and he had to rest for a few days on the journey, and someone heard Liu Yu's voice, after all, no one had seen Liu Yu's face. This may not be a big deal to others, but Liu Yu has little to do with them anyway. But in the eyes of Chang'an City, people who are about to rebel, Liu Yu's every move needs to be paid attention to. Now that Liu Yu is ill, it may be a precursor to the arrival of a crisis.

Two days later, Zhaosu also heard news that Su Xiao seemed to have some distrust of her and had not contacted her for two days. So Zhaosu also asked Liu Yu whether to go to the mansion to inquire.

Although Liu Yu was also very anxious, after thinking about it, Zhaosu's family should not act too radically.

First of all, as a woman who has a grudge against Liu Yu, Zhao Su only has a fire of hatred in her heart. She shouldn't have known that the vassal kings will take action soon. Zhao Su visited Su Xiao before, and only expressed her hatred for Liu Yu in a tactful way, and Su Xiao did not express any special expression to her.

If Zhao Su's family went to Su Xiao's place again, Su Xiao would definitely think of what news she had received. If even a widowed woman who was not leaving the gate of Chang'an City knew about them, it would be enough to arouse their vigilance. Therefore, Zhao Su's family should not go to Shu's palace again.

Su Xiao did not contact Zhaosu and absorbed her into the camp not because Zhaosu's sincerity was not enough, but because she was not capable enough and could not help after joining the rebellion. That is to say, the reason why Zhaosu's current situation is not because she was tried on or tested by others is just because she has no bargaining chips and is considered a woman with only hatred and no value.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu was about to add some "bargaining chips" to Zhaosu's family.

Liu Yu summoned Qu Zhu and asked, "I heard that Hu Yaotong, the general of the Hedao County, was now serving as the general of the General in Dongshui Camp in Chang'an City. Is there any such incident?"

As the head of the intelligence personnel, Qu Zhu was very familiar with these things and immediately confirmed that this was indeed the case.

When Liu Yu was confirmed, he had an idea in his mind. Liu Yu had investigated some situations in Hedao County, especially the Zhaosu family and the man who had "friendship" with her, which included Hu Yaotong. Now Hu Yaotong is an ordinary general in the Dongshui camp, but he is only a local transfer from the capital. The old subordinates of these vassal kings will not be favored by Liu Yu, and the Ministry of War will not take any care of them.

Liu Yu immediately picked up his pen and wrote on the paper about the appointment, removal and promotion of some officials stationed in Chang'an City, and transferred some garrison generals inside and outside Chang'an City.

This kind of transfer is just a type of transfer, but several of them were promoted "extraordinary" and the promotion of several irrelevant people was completely a cover for Hu Yaotong's promotion. Hu Yaotong was promoted from a general to a general, and was directly transferred to the third leader of the Dongshui Camp, gaining real power. Some of Hu Yaotong's old generals also had minor fluctuations.

This general's transfer letter was nominally issued from Luoyang City, and then sent through the Ministry of War to the various garrison camps in Chang'an City.

Now it is when the court is asking for rewards for the meritorious people who have pacified Lingnan. As the "rear camp" that guards Chang'an City, it is common for generals to be mobilized. In order to increase their bargaining chips against Zhaosu, Liu Yu also specially praised the vassal kings and vassal lords who were left behind in Chang'an City to "stabilize the overall situation", in the name of the emperor, and also mentioned the Zhaosu family in particular.

In this way, Hu Yaotong was promoted and would inevitably go to Chang'an City to visit the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. This was considered a ritual in the officialdom. At this time, the Hejian County Prince was a new mourning, and when he went to express his condolences, no one would say anything.

Although it seems that everything is natural, it is an illusion arranged by Liu Yu to make Su Xiao and others believe that Zhao Su and Hu Yaotong have contact, making Su Xiao and others feel that Zhao Su still has her value in using it.

Hu Yaotong was also quite sensible. He accepted all the arrangements of Liu Yu. When he came to Chang'an City War Department to take over the post, he deliberately went to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. This trip could be said to be in the eyes of everyone. After he came out, he returned to the Dongshui Camp outside Chang'an City as if nothing had happened and officially took over his position.

Liu Yu did not care whether Su Xiao would make any moves. He first used a move to "shock the snake", because at this time, Liu Yu had been back to Luoyang City for ten days. If he had no moves, people would have doubts. Therefore, Liu Yu sent a message to Chang'an City through the communication method of the military headquarters and set the return date of the emperor's carriage, and the return date was only ten days later on the tenth day of the tenth day of the tenth month.

In this way, even if the vassal kings and the vassal lords are not ready, they will launch this rebellion and quickly control the overall situation. Otherwise, when Liu Yu comes back, their chances will be slim. They also know that with their ability, they will not be able to fight against Liu Yu, the big tiger.

The next day after the news reached Chang'an City, on the third day of the October 10th, the Zhaosu family heard news that Su Xiao personally went to the mansion to attend the 7th memorial of the Hejian County Prince. After the memorial, Su Xiao had a secret conversation with Zhaosu, saying that he was preparing to "discuss a major plan" at the hunting ground in the north of the city in a day later, that is, on the fourth day of the October 10th, and asked Zhaosu family to attend together.

Hunting in autumn is also a tradition among the nobles in Chang'an City. These royals have the qualifications to go to the hunting ground to hunt, which is also a "privilege" for them. If they have any contact, they will definitely be discovered by the people of the court. Therefore, they choose to "encounter" in the hunting ground and then discuss plans. This is indeed a good way that is not easy to be suspected by the outside world.

Liu Yu calculated that if the vassal king and the vassal lord launched a rebellion on the fourth day of the 10th month, he could control Tongguan within two days. According to Liu Yu's resignation date, the vassal lord would pass Tongguan from about the seventh to eighth day of the 10th month. If these vassal kings and vassal lords did not have the support of the people behind them, they would not calculate these carefully, and the Su Zhe party would also likely cooperate with the treason and vassal lords' rebellion.
