At that time, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui had already guessed Wei Xiaojie's plan to slow down the troops. Su Dingfang secretly thought that if Wei Xiaojie could get away and the news of Li You's rebellion spread, he would have a chance to escape. Otherwise, he might not be able to escape today.
Li You was forced to follow the dangerous situation of rebellion.
"Your Majesty, now is the time for us to employ people. Lord Wei has soldiers under his command who can fight in hundreds of battles. If he can be used as the main force in the army, it can strengthen the army's fighting strength. Why not do it. I am here with General Xue.
I hope Lord Wei will not abandon us and have other ideas, so I ask Your Majesty to grant Lord Wei's request, and congratulate Your Majesty on acquiring an elite army."
In terms of strategy, Li You and his subordinates who were loyal to him were no match for Su Dingfang and others. After some thought, he ordered Zan Junmo to lead a hundred soldiers to monitor Wei Xiaojie and proceed.
When Wei Xiaojie and Zan Junmo came out of the palace, they secretly thought that they had thousands of elite soldiers. In desperation, this guy actually took Zan Junmo and other soldiers to the city where the confidant generals of the "Youzhou" army were stationed, and waited until they arrived at the gate of the camp.
At that time, Wei Xiaojie said to Zan Junmo.
"You and I will wait here with our soldiers for a while until Wei's messengers find the generals under his command."
Zan Junmo agreed, and Wei Xiaojie summoned the soldiers patrolling the camp and asked the generals in the camp to come out to meet him.
After a while, a member of the army was seen riding out on horseback, fully clothed. When he saw Wei Xiaojie, he jumped off his horse and knelt down to pay homage.
Wei Xiaojie took the opportunity to step forward and help the general up, quietly handed the jade token he carried with him to the general's hand and said loudly.
"Get up and bring out the thousands of elites that I have hidden in the army!"
The general knew the meaning of the jade plaque in his hand. At this moment, he heard the governor speak strangely. In addition, why did the governor ask himself to come out to meet him when he came to the military camp? All kinds of unusual actions made the general no longer care.
, when he raised his head and saw the governor, his eyes showed that he understood even more.
After getting Zan Junmo's assurance, Li You opened the door and came out. At that time, Xu Jun and Du Xingmin arrived at the same place.
Xu Jun received the order and received a letter from the emperor reprimanding Li You. He quickly led his troops to send a message to the Ministry of War, mobilized soldiers and horses from several states to assemble ten miles away from "Youzhou" city at the designated time, and immediately left the capital with Yan Hongliang.
Rush to "Youzhou" to prepare for the suppression of the rebellion.
"General Wei, thank you for your hard work. After Li went to Youzhou, His Majesty has no intention for Fang Xueren to announce the order later. How about you wait to discuss the matter in Youzhou before Fang Xueren announces the order?"
During the stalemate between the two sides, Zan Junmo had no choice but to have his soldiers surround him. From morning to noon, he was still trying to figure out how to capture Li You but to injure my life.
At that time, Xu Jun Xiaojun and Li Jing had already attacked and retreated the two gates of "Youzhou", and Su Dingfang led his troops to pacify the chaos in the city.
Du Xingmin's words made Mr. Wen have something to say. He secretly thought that these words indeed revealed the shortcomings in the imperial administration. He thought that the ministers in the imperial court said that this son was a monster and a little talent, and he really lived up to his reputation.
After the man finished speaking, he sincerely ordered the army to bring a lot of firewood and pile it up in the house, so that the sergeants made rockets under their weak bows to light the firewood.
Wu Zan Junmo's soldiers proposed a plan like using fire attacks to force the people in the house to surrender.
However, before the matter was ready, Cao Zan, a soldier sent by the imperial court in advance to "Youzhou", got the news that Wen Yanbo secretly came from the palace, so he secretly arranged a plan to capture Li You.
"The traitor, I once told him to get close to adults, but he regarded my kind words as useless words. I think that he has always been surly and lacking in virtue. He was bewitched by flattering remarks and eventually brought disaster to himself. I am sad!
He was so stupid that he turned into a man like an owl. He forgot his loyalty and filial piety, disturbed Youzhou, and died innocently. He was someone who could protect the empire, but he was as safe as piled firewood, and he had broken the blood relationship like a rock.
He was so close that he became a factor in provoking troubles. He was disrespectful and righteous, abandoned his father and brother and betrayed the monarch, and was angered by both humans and gods. He was my son in the future, but today he has become the enemy of the empire. Quan Wanji
Being killed by him, even though he is dead, hindered my ability to achieve small righteousness. He was a traitor in life, and a traitor in death. He had a bad reputation in the past, and now he has endless misdeeds. I heard that Uncle Zheng, the violent prince of the Western Han Dynasty,
He has done such crazy things, how could any father expect to give birth to a rebellious son like him? Because of this, I am ashamed to the emperor, ashamed of my past, and sigh with regret. I know what else I can say to him..."
Che Guangkang said Du Xingmin in his letter.
"I guarantee that the lives of everyone under the prince's command will be harmed, so come out and surrender!"
"Are the two generals submitting to you, or are they trying to follow the example of Su Ding and Fang Yang, who are submissive? I don't have time to talk to them, so I will make it clear today. If they submit, they will be ministers of the dragon and enjoy all the honors in heaven. Otherwise,
, Today will be the anniversary of his death next year, so the two generals will give him some calm words as to where he will go."
"My king's intention is to temporarily stabilize Li You's rebel army outside Youzhou City, so that they can lead the army to cause trouble in the hinterland of Xiaotang and prevent the people from suffering unreasonable disasters. When the small army from the imperial court arrives to suppress the rebellion, it will be as I expected.
Yes, the imperial court has no intention for Li Jing to participate in the rebellion against Li You. Che Guangkang must believe that my prince will collude with Li You to benefit the imperial court. How can I, a prince with such brains, know his wolfish ambitions? Moreover,
The Qin family's aspirations are in heaven, and what they want is to ensure that the family will last for thousands of generations and that the people will live and work in peace and contentment."
Su Dingfang led Wen Yanbo and Xue Rengui to report to the Yamen, talking about the capture of dozens of members of Li You's party in the "Youzhou" army.
"Good, good! Mr. Qin has a pure heart. Your Majesty is very lucky, and the people of Xiaotang are very lucky. But Mr. Wen has the heart of an adult to judge the heart of a gentleman. Mr. Qin forgives me."
At this time, outside the city of "Youzhou", Li You saw Su Dingfang leading his army to report back, and there was no news from Li Shimin, the leader who was loyal to the palace. Knowing that things had gone beyond expectations, he sent an order to Liang Mengbiao to lead the entire city to capture Che.
Guangkang also searched for Li Shimin's traces. Outside the palace, he said to Che Guangkang and Xue Rengui that the seven tiger generals were in charge.
Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and actually believed it or doubt it. When all the troops arrived, he sent the messenger to retreat from the city and presented Liu Dewei's letter. When Li You received the letter and saw his father's rebuke, he no longer had the mentality of having nothing to lose, but it was Liu Dewei's letter.
Said so.
After Che Guangkang and Xue Rengui heard what Li You said, they knew that Su Dingfang must have spread the news of Li You's rebellion. How could "Youzhou"'s hundreds of thousands of troops be the opponent of the imperial court's small army? Moreover, those hundreds of thousands of troops had not yet arrived.
Guangkang's subordinates, how could they do their best to serve Li You? In view of his own safety, he thought of finding an opportunity to contact the imperial army or Su Dingfang to become an internal agent to suppress Li You's rebellion. All seven of them agreed to be driven by Li You.
.
"General, I will obey your orders!"
"Prince Li, he is the son of the emperor. I am willing to harm his life. However, you are waiting to punish the rebellious ministers and traitors. If the little king surrenders again, I will attack him with fire. At this time, both jade and stone will be burned. But
It’s strange that in the end, the general is just showing mercy.”
I came here to pay the order!"
"Your Majesty must be worried. You are holding the wine with your left hand while your right hand is killing you with a knife. Why should you be afraid of the officers and soldiers?"
The man thought he had achieved his goal and joked about the imperial army that would be sent to conquer the country. Che Guangkang Xiaoyan said it with a sense of shame.
In the Governor's Yamen, Che Guang and Du Xingmin sat side by side, leading the Tang army. General Li Jing stood on both sides.
"Li You betrayed his son and rebelled. He abandoned his father and brother and took care of him. The crime deserved death. With Xu Jun in control, soldiers from Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji and other prefectures were sent to conquer the rebels. It is said that Yan Hongliang was the envoy to suppress the rebellion.
Order Xu Tian to lead the Xu Jiajun and Su Dingfang's troops to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Youzhou rebels at Gubeikou."
"Fang Xueren must be polite. The only difference between Du Xingmin and His Majesty is that they have the same political philosophy. They have different opinions and views. The small families in the court control the government for their own interests, but they talk so much about benevolence, justice and morality that it is disgusting. And Your Majesty
The so-called "taking care of the overall situation", I dare to compliment. The imperial court not only attaches great importance to the welfare of the people in heaven, but also uses practical actions to benefit the people. What they do are all bad words, and what they defend is excessive.
The rights of those with vested interests are really laughable."
Mr. Wen stood up from the throne and read out the emperor's decree. He just decreed that Su Dingfang Yinqingguanglu was a young man and put the military and government of Youzhou completely in his hands. This was Liu Dewei's original intention to transfer Li You back and make Su Dingfang and Li Jing deal with the problem.
Mutual relations are a balancing act of aggression.
But it turned out that when Xu Jun was attacking the city, Wen Yanbo and Xue Rengui came out of the palace on the pretext of leading their troops to supervise the battle. In front of finding Che Guangkang, eight people led their troops to defeat the sergeant under Li You who was guarding the city gate, and opened the city gate to welcome Xu Jun.
In front of the small army, Deche Guang ordered him to quickly pacify the defenders in the city and arrest the party members loyal to Li You in the army.
It was thought that due to Li You's rebellion, Master Wen had not yet had time to declare the decree and implement the matter, but instead let the Qin army participate in the encirclement of the rebels.
Before Du Xingmin received Li You's messenger in the army, he handed Li You's letter to Mr. Wen who had arrived in Li Jingzhong to read. The seven of them sighed that Li You really knew the world and the earth. Mr. Wen said to Xu Tian.
Li You was so happy that he rewarded the seven men with numerous gold and silver, and ordered them to follow him as deputy generals, but he dared to trust them completely and made them the leading generals.
Seeing that Li You had been captured, Xu Jun was also willing to talk to the young man, and ordered the troops to escort him to the army for strict supervision. He also ordered Zan Junmo and other generals to dig out the eyes of Lord Wei and other rebellious officials and whip them to death in front of the public in the city.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yan Hongliang arrived in the capital almost at the same time as the messengers sent by Su Dingfang and Mr. Wen, and reported the news of Li You's rebellion to the court.
Furthermore, Li Youde's official envoy to Li Jing reported that Du Xingmin seemed to have no intention of cooperating. The man also thought about the possibility and actually relaxed in the palace, spending all day with Lord Wei and other pseudo-officials and my princesses.
Feast.
Liang Mengbiao led his army to search for Su Dingfang in the city for several days, and finally saw him. He had no choice but to return the favor to Li You.
"Hurry up, General Du. It is not Li You who is willing to surrender, but he is willing to see Mr. Wei and others lose their lives for someone. If the general can guarantee our lives, then Li You will surrender."
At this time, the elders from all sides gathered outside the city of "Youzhou" to resolve the dispute between the two armies in "Gubeikou".
Just when Xu Jun's small army finished the siege and Du Xingmin led his troops to respond from the direction of "Gubeikou", Zan Junmo took advantage of the chaos in the palace and ordered his sergeants to quietly surround the palace to capture Li You. However, the gate of the palace was strong and the wall was thick, so he had a plan.
Shi, had no choice but to let his army dig through the palace wall and lead the army in.
At this time, the seven gates of "Youzhou" city have been closed tightly. If you want to leave the city, you must have the royal palace token. For the time being, Li Shimin has no such token. Otherwise, Su Dingfang will get out of trouble and want to send Li You to rebel.
The news is easy.
"How should Mr. Qin respond?"
Lord Wei and other royal officials persuaded Li You to take the people in the city as hostages and flee into the hills of "Youzhou" to commit banditry, hoping to gain space to reorganize arms and rebel.
Zan Junmo was overjoyed and thought this plan was feasible, so he whispered to the people in the room.
Li You was furious, and in addition to ordering to continue the search, he sent troops to strengthen defenses in the city and sent an envoy to Li Jing to seek for forward reinforcements. He promised to share the sky with Du Xingmin until the matter was accomplished.
Li You and others saw this situation from the window of the room. The man was afraid that he would be burnt to charcoal by the fire and become unrecognizable. He screamed at Zan Junmo through the window.
This letter of rebuke, which seemed to contain Liu Dewei's sorrow, made Li You neither angry nor reluctant to cut off his blood. Just when I was hesitating about how to deal with Xu Jun's small army, no royal guard reported that "
None of the sergeants under Su Dingfang's command in Youzhou served Li You, but there was another response to the military order sent to the cities under the jurisdiction of "Youzhou" to mobilize troops.
By the time Su Dingfang jumped off his horse and was surrounded by cavalry, Li Shimin and a hundred soldiers were already surrounded by a small army.
Yushi Xiaofu, Zhongshu Ling, sent a messenger from Xihe County Gongche Guangkang to report the news of Li You's rebellion. He was slightly frightened and ordered his troops to choose a place to station. He quickly wrote a memorial and sent people to Chang'an to delay the report. At the same time, he sent someone to go with the token.
Li Jingzhong asked Xu Tian to send troops to support him.
Outside the palace, Li You, Che Guangkang and several others were all dressed in armor and hiding indoors holding bows and crossbows and other weapons to resist tenaciously. Che Guangkang was afraid of hurting Li You's life, but he was not afraid of his hands and feet.
Dare to use the army to defeat the enemy with a small move...
Du Xingmin came to the army from Mr. Wen to convey the court's comfort to him. His anger had calmed down a lot before he read Liu Dewei's handwritten letter to him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this situation, Li You quickly asked Du Xingmin to send troops to rescue. However, he received a report from his subordinates. Li Jing acted according to the situation, but he had no intention of rescue.
The small trend has passed, but I regret it at the beginning.
The horses of the eight messengers stopped and galloped through the starry night. One of the messengers met the honor guard team of the imperial court in half a day, who were going to "Youzhou" to deliver the decree and to Liao to propagate Xu Tian.
When Liu Dewei got his revenge, he was furious and heartbroken, and announced that Xu Jun had entered the court. His Highness Taiji looked ashen and spoke to all the ministers.
"I know what he, a young man, wants to do in his life. This is a move that benefits the country and the people. Li You's army is ignorant and indulges Wen Yanbo and others to disturb the people of all ethnic groups who are content with their livelihood, causing conflict between the two armies.
The responsibility lies with the ministers of the imperial court who acted properly, so he must be held accountable again. I allow him to make his own decisions regarding the Northeast. However, in the Goryeo War, I want Xu Jun to lead his troops to participate, which will cause chaos in the Goryeo Kingdom.
Let's calm down as soon as possible. As for him being granted a title by the imperial court and claiming to be a king, I am too lazy to argue with him. Does he have few ideas? He will come up with administrative strategies that benefit the people of Xiaotang to deserve the title of king.
, Otherwise, he will cut off his title of king and give it to me, go back to the capital and take up a post at the Ministry of War, and use his talents as a leader to make my army have enemies in the sky."
Before killing the few soldiers under Li Shimin's command, Su Dingfang sent people to strictly guard Che Guangkang, who had been killed, wounded and captured. He quickly wrote a memorial and sent eight messengers out of "Youzhou" city to Chang'an to report to the court Li You's rebellion.
Things.
"Little Mr. Li, the last general and others have already taken the captured Li You and the rest of his party to the army.
The general got up and returned to the camp. In a short time, he saw hundreds of cavalry galloping out of the camp. Several leading generals took the opportunity to mount their horses to pay homage to the governor. At the same time, they attacked Li Shimin, so that Su Dingfang had no chance to escape from the control of the man.
