Chapter 146 insider
Wang Dan is back!
Hearing the news, Lu Qiang was extremely happy. What he lacked most now was first-hand information about the barbarians.
He didn't know that Wang Dan was more excited than him! Because in Wang Dan's heart, he also has the concept of Central Plains Confucianism that he does not need to pay attention to the barbarians, so he only believes that Lu Qiang came to save himself.
Wang Dan came to Lu Qiang's men, but he came up with an idea that was not a success. Unexpectedly, Lu Qiang was in danger to save him. Did such a lord go there to look for him?
So when he quickly came in and saw Lu Qiang, his eyes turned red without saying anything. Before Lu Qiang could react, he bent down and knelt down: "Christmas, see the Lord"
Lu Qiang was shocked. One was that no one had ever called him that. In addition, Wang Dan's behavior also surprised him. Isn't he hasn't seen him for more than a month? As for being so excited?
He hurried forward to help Wang Dan and said angrily, "Look at you, what are you doing? This official was not thoughtful, so that Lord Wang was detained by the barbarians. It should be that I should apologize to you. Come on, sit down quickly. I have been wronged to Lord Wang these days."
You don't have to say thank you often. Wang Dan sorted out his emotions and said with a little shame, "The Lord is worried. In fact, his subordinates have not suffered from Moto, and they also see that Moto really wants to belong to the court."
Speaking of this, Wang Dan's expression became nervous again: "Lord, please be honest, the lord really doesn't need to come to see Motuo in person. Now the news has been leaked from Motuo. Another barbarian king Naiji has gathered more than 50,000 people to kill here. He suggested that the lord should leave as soon as possible!"
If it hadn't been for Liu Zhong's excessive enthusiasm, Lu Qiang would have been willing to believe that it was Mot's people who leaked the news. Now of course it's another matter.
After listening to Wang Dan's words, he smiled and answered the question, "How much do you know about Liu Zhong?"
Liu Zhong?
Wang Dan was slightly stunned. When he was an official in Ningzhou, he only had a general acquaintance with Liu Zhong and had no friendship. This time, he went to Ningzhou with Wang Kai and left in a hurry.
Now Lu Qiang suddenly asked about this person and couldn't help thinking about some details of his relationship with Liu Zhong, because he knew that Lu Qiang would never ask about this person for no reason at this time.
After a moment of meditation, he said, "This person is very cautious and easy to eat in Ningzhou. He should belong to the kind of deep-minded category. Does the lord think there is something wrong with him?
Wang Dan's reaction was really fast enough. He just asked, and he could guess what he thought.
He said thoughtfully, "It's hard to say now, but I just think he is a little too enthusiastic." Then he persuaded Liu Zhong to evacuate the people and told Wang Dan about the labor army.
Wang Dan is similar to Xie Wangzu. His psychology belongs to the darker kind, and he will not find normal ideas for everything.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, his face couldn't help but become solemn and said in a low voice, "If the master said so, it was not Moto's men who leaked the master to Ningzhou, but Liu Zhong."
"Oh! How can you see it?"
"After knowing that Naiji led the army, my subordinates have been thinking that Naiji's news is too well-in-ap knowing, right? Even if there is a long relationship with it, the roads in Ningzhou and Shuzhong are similar, and the difficult roads will definitely restrict the speed of information transmission, so my subordinates have made a judgment that Naiji's sending troops is not the attention of Qizong.
"In addition, Naiji and the adults have no grudges. Why did they mobilise 15 coalition forces to attack the adults? My subordinates never figured it out before, but after the Lord's reminder, my subordinates remembered that no matter if the adult had an accident or withdrew from Ningzhou, who was the biggest beneficiary?
"According to this idea, who is the deepest hidden enemy is ready to come out"
After listening to Wang Dan's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help meditating. Previously, he had always been worried about the leakage of his deeds, but Liu Zhong performed so well that he did not think about him at all. Now after Wang Dan's analysis, Liu Zhong seems to be full of flaws.
However, this kind of thing still needs evidence. Lu Qiang doesn't want to ruin a good official because of suspicion.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Then how to deal with Liu Zhong according to your opinion?"
Wang Dan smiled gloomly: "If Liu Zhongcolludes with Naiji, he will definitely be well prepared for our people, but I think we can always find something in him."
Lu Qiang understood a little and nodded and said, "This matter is up to you. Don't let go of an enemy, but you can't wrong anyone."
"I understand"...
Unconsciously, the sky darkened. Because of the addition of 8,000 troops, it has invisibly added some anger to the city of Zhuti County.
In a corner of the city, the assassin Liu Zhongzheng was discussing something with several confidants in a low voice. The dark light shone on several people's faces, setting them off like ghosts.
No one knows that as early as when he was still a counselor, he and Liu Zhong were good friends. Now that he has provoked the banner of rebellion, how can he forget his good brother close to him?
He even promised that as long as Liu Zhong fully supported him, he would be allowed side by side with the king.
Originally, the land of Ningzhou was like Shuzhong, belonging to the kind of emperor Gaoyuan. Liu Zhong was an official here and was no different from the local emperor, so how could he obey Lu Qiang's orders?
It's just that he knew that he was weak and was not the opponent of the Tiger and Wolf Army in Jingzhou, so he focused on Naiji, the barbarian king who asked for money and death.
With one day's journey, Naiji can kill Zhuti County. If Lu Qiang can follow his advice and take the people back, it will be much easier to defeat or kill Lu Qiang.
However, Lu Qiang was obviously not as simple as he thought, so he could only retreat and implement the second set of plans, that is, when Naiji attacked the city, he opened the gate to welcome Naiji's army.
Liu Zhong saw clearly that as long as Lu Qiang was killed, the Jingzhou army would be in chaos. At that time, there would be someone willing to go on an expedition to his wild land?
Everything went smoothly. Liu Zhong successfully won the trust of Wang Kai and performed normally in front of Lu Qiang. He is very confident in this regard.
There is no problem with the things given to the army. He just wants to get acquainted with the army. Isn't it easier to get close to the gate at that time? But I didn't expect Lu Qiang's military discipline to be so strict? Lu Qiang should be asked for instructions on everything. Although he finally accepted the things, it made Liu Zhong have a bad feeling.
But now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.
Liu Zhong and his confidants are waiting for the people to contact Naiji at this time. The barbarians have no discipline to speak of, and some things must be agreed first, otherwise those guys will rush in like a swarm of people and may become a disaster in the city!
Although Naigi has promised certain benefits, he has to prevent it.
In fact, Liu Zhong has been preparing for this day for a long time. Gathering his confidants is just a psychological hint. When the event is about to happen, he also needs a little comfort.
At this time, the gate was closed, but his men were all locals. Of course, he knew how to sneak in without being noticed.
Just when Liu Zhong was a little impatient, he finally reported that the person who contacted Naiji came back. Liu Zhong was anxious and hurriedly ordered someone to come in and reply.
This person is also a localized native. In addition to wearing clothes, his appearance is no different from that of the indigenous people.
After seeing Liu Zhong, he bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency, please rest assured that tomorrow's third update will definitely arrive on time"
Liu Zhong didn't want to hear this and asked urgently, "Did he agree to this official's terms?"
The man said, "The leader of Naiji said that he could not kill the people in the city, but asked the adults to give him an additional 100 young women."
"This insatiable bastard"
Of course, Liu Zhong knows what Naiji wants so many women to do. This guy is lustful and very good at killing Han women. He sent dozens of women to him before and after. I heard that there is no good end. Now he still wants women, and he is not afraid of dying on women's belly?
But Liu Zhong also knew that he could not agree. If Ren Naiji's people plundered in the city, he would lose more than 100 women.
nodded helplessly and said, "Go back immediately and tell Naiji that I agree to his terms. I hope he will believe his words. After that, I will thank you again."
The men answered and turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness outside the door.
No one noticed that with the departure of Liu Zhong's men, a shadow lying on the roof also disappeared.
It's almost midnight, but Lu Qiang is also not sleepy at all. Is it strange that such a big insider can fall asleep?
Just as he was reading the official document under the lamp, a dark shadow quietly appeared outside the door and bowed and said, "Lord, the man is back."
Lu Qiang knew who was captured and nodded: "Give it to Lord Wang for interrogation"
Wang Dan, who was anxiously waiting for the news, did not sleep. After getting the news, he immediately led someone to examine the person who was caught by Lu Qiang's bodyguard, and this person was naturally the person who had just come out of Liu Zhong and was ready to reply to Naiji.
With no effort, this person explained the details of Liu Zhong and Naiji's collusion.
After getting the evidence that Liu Zhong colluded with Naiji, Wang Dan immediately handed over his confession and asked Lu Qiang to take a message to Mo, asking him to find a way to drag Naiji for a day, and the rest of the rest would be done by Jingzhou people.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers. I believe that Morto must be very willing to see the Jingzhou army destroy Naiji.
After arranging these, Lu Qiang's angry eyes fell on the confession.
"Liu Zhong..."
Lu Qiang has never hated a person so much. Huan Xuan is hateful enough, but he has not yet sold his people. Compared with Liu Zhong's behavior, Huan Xuan can even be rewarded for his meritorious service. After all, without his usurpation, Lu Qiang would not have achieved today's achievements.
Liu Zhong has been in Ningzhou for many years. No one knows how many party members he has. For such people, he must catch all, so Lu Qiang wanted to drag Naiji for a day to thoroughly clean Liu Zhong.
As for Wang Kai, Lu Qiang did not have any doubt, because he knew Wang Kai's character and did something bad. This boy may be okay. He didn't have the courage to betray him.
