Chapter three hundred and forty-eight double agents
In a blink of an eye, the white ghost has been moving south for more than half a year.
This year, the resistance army in Xuezhou was strong and the guarding of the entire defense line was quite good. The forward defense line was arranged in the north of Jibei, Yuyang and Liao County, and seemed as solid as a god. Five powerful Jindan men were in charge. The white ghosts in the brigade could hardly break through the defense line, either they would be hit and bloody, or they would be detected in advance and then wiped out.
However, although the situation is much better than in previous years, no one still thinks it will be too relaxed.
The real difficulty has not come yet. None of the fourth-level White Ghost Emperors have appeared.
I don't know how many of them will come this year.
Of course, such things have little to do with Pan Guodun.
He was just a young monk in the Qiming period, the fourth-level White Ghost Emperor, which was what the great golden elixir above had to consider, and had little to do with him, the little Qiming.
Pan Guodun was a monk from Jizhou. His family, Huantong, was a serious family of officials, and some of his ancestors had been in the position of Nine Ministers. Even now, the Pan family had three monks of Qiming.
The Pan family is not as good as the four major families that were once, but they are also under the imperial system and have developed quite well among the second and third-tier families.
Pan Guodun himself was strong enough and with the help of his family, he soon became the county magistrate of Weiyang County, Jizhou.
During this turmoil of dynasty change, the Pan family leaned firmly towards the Lu family.
But Pan Guodun himself was an absolute loyal person. He was very angry about the abdication. As a prefect of a county and the prefect of Jizhou, Pan Guodun had a great status in the court system. He was not the kind of waste who was sent to Feiyunzhou and could not control the prefects in the places where the court could not control it. He was a serious local official.
Just three months after the abdication ceremony, Pan Guodun wrote a letter and criticized the Lu family in public. This incident naturally caused anger from the central government, but because the Pan family's position was biased towards the Lu family, all parties pleaded with mercy, Pan Guodun was not dismissed. He just deprived him of the prefect and allowed him to serve as the commander of the soldiers of Weiyang County as a crime. He only practiced troops and all government affairs were removed.
But even so, Pan Guodun was not too honest. Although he had never said anything bad publicly, he mentioned his dissatisfaction with the Lu family in private chats with many people, and was ashamed of the fact that the Pan family had joined the Lu family so quickly. Some people even saw that he had a fierce quarrel with his own brother, the current leader of Pan's officialdom, and the new Nine Ministers.
This person's position can be seen.
As the disobedient person, he led the soldiers of Weiyang County and thousands of monks to Xuezhou to support him under the order of the court.
Faced with the transfer order, he was shirked at first, but later he had no choice but to force him to not come, he would be treason, and the family would remove him from the list. Under pressure from many parties, it would be impossible not to come, so he had to lead a team to go.
Of course, all this is just appearance.
Under all the appearance of the outside, he had actually joined the Jinyiwei for a long time. These anti-Lu styles were completely pretended.
Earlier, as the leader of the Great Yan Jinyiwei, Lu Wenen found out some unusual problems in the country. It seemed that there was a hand in secret that was manipulating the local forces of Jizhou and Jinzhou, making it difficult for the imperial court to control the area.
However, when the Dayan Jinyiwei was investigating, he still faced many difficulties. He found few clues, and the other party seemed to have a foundation in various places. Even if there were occasional gains, the clues would always be broken. He could only catch some small characters that were useless. And often the white flames burned and the silence effect was very good.
The Jinyiwei knew that the person who secretly opposed the new court was a faceless meeting. This group of underground organizations that Li Shiwen secretly supported him to break through the Dharma in order to break through the Dharma, has now become the ghosts of the Li Dynasty, causing trouble everywhere.
So Lu Wenen contacted the Pan family, and after some discussion, a character like Pan Guodun came out.
This is a bait, and the Jinyiwei wants to catch the faceless man as much as possible.
However, the effect is not good.
Pan Guodun was tempted by some strangers several times and also gave the information to the Jinyiwei. However, after repeated analysis, the Jinyiwei also believed that this might be a counter-temptation of the Wuying meeting. It might not be the real core figure of Wuying, so he did not dare to act rashly, so he would not alarm the enemy.
But now this is an excellent opportunity.
At that time, when Pan Guodun received a transfer order from the court to go north to Selangor, he performed a play as usual and showed a very unhappy appearance. But during this period, he received news from someone who had contacted him, hoping that he could lead his army to join the war.
This made him and the Jinyiwei behind him alert.
That should be the meaning of the Wuwei Meeting, but the Wuwei Meeting should be full of malicious intentions for the White Ghosts in the North. They probably wanted the White Ghosts to go south, break through the Xuezhou defense line, rush to Feiyunzhou, and disrupt the Lu family's base camp. They should be very opposed to it, and they should destroy the Lu family's military force to mobilize the imperial court and support it north.
But think about it further... What if Pan Guodun hated the Lu family's affairs not acted, but were real? What if a large number of local county soldiers and private soldiers from the court who went north to support the country were secretly contacted by Wuweihui, or even cooperated with Wuweihui's actions?
So are the 20,000 imperial reinforcements heading north really reinforcements? Could this be a huge, hidden bomb?
This matter cannot be careless.
But in turn, this seems to be a good opportunity to seize the tail of the faceless meeting.
In the past few years, the actions in various states have been very secretive, with few traces left, and the relationships in various places are complicated and difficult to catch. And this time, if their goal is to destroy the defense line of Selangor and disrupt the foundation of the Lu family in the northern border, it must have been a major action of them in the past few years.
Therefore, Pan Guodun also received a request from the Jinyiwei: to go north with the army and report the situation of the faceless meeting at any time. In addition to this, he also needed to investigate how many people in the court army that went north to support were actually faceless meetings, or dissatisfied members who were faceless meetings.
In the past six months, he was on the Selangor defense line and led the monk army to fight the white ghost to death while investigating hard.
He was not alone. Among the 20,000 monks who went north from the court, Wumeng would have mixed sand in. Why didn’t there be Jinyiwei?
