Chapter 1228 Yang Gongren is unwilling to open the gate of the city, and Muchuan escorts the prince into the Qing palace
Chapter 1228 Yang Gongren was unwilling to open the city gate, so Muchuan escorted the prince into Prince Qing’s Mansion
Because no one can understand how much impact this Li Tai incident has had on Muchuan.
Yang Gongren thought again and again and asked his subordinates to open the city gate.
"Open the city gate!"
Yang Gongren shouted loudly.
The city gate slowly opened, and Muchuan's troops filed in.
Yang Gongren on the city wall showed a cold smile: "Mu Chuan, I will give you a big gift."
After the city gate was opened, Muchuan led his army into Luoyang City and closed the city gate.
…
"Commander, do you think Li Tai's people are crazy?
They actually surrendered to Muchuan, how stupid they are!"
One of Yang Gongren's staff said.
Yang Gongren snorted coldly and said: "This Li Tai is a typical example of mediocrity and incompetence.
He is indeed too young and has an unstable foundation.
I have long seen that such people will suffer sooner or later."
"Commander, what should we do now?
Li Tai has been captured, should we take advantage of the situation to capture the Luoyang County Prince's Mansion and seize the position of Luoyang County Prince?"
The staff said.
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Yang Gongren said slowly: "I guess Li Tai will not be willing to be caught like this.
He should have some other means.
Let’s wait and see, besides, we still have to wait for the emperor’s decree!”
"Um!"
The staff member said: "Then I'll go down and make arrangements first."
…
As soon as the city gate opened, Muchuan led his army into Luoyang in a mighty manner.
The Mu family army led by Muchuan had gone through two battles, and there were still 5,000 people left, and the remaining infantry totaled about 4,800.
This size has exceeded Li Tai's surrender force.
Yang Gongren's army only had 60,000 troops.
As soon as Muchuan entered the city, he led his troops straight to the residence of Prince Li Tai.
Li Tai was also escorted along by Muchuan's personal guards.
Li Tai cursed as he walked away: "Mu Chuan, I treat you very badly.
Why do you treat me like this? Do you really not care about the friendship in the past?"
Muchuan said coldly: "Li Tai, you'd better save yourself, you are destined to never become a big star in this life.
You’d better keep your mind on the right path.”
"you!"
Li Tai said angrily: "If you do this, you are forcing the palace and it is an act of rebellion.
Aren’t you worried that the emperor and queen will punish you?”
Muchuan said coldly: "Prince, let's talk about our affairs slowly. If you want to kill me first, I will report this matter to the emperor."
"you!"
Li Tai was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Li Tai was tied up in the prison car, and Muchuan followed on horseback.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the Prince's Mansion is ahead."
A general reported.
Muchuan looked up and saw a mansion.
This house is very luxurious and there are many soldiers stationed around it.
This house should be where Li Tai lives.
The house occupies an area of about three acres, and is surrounded by houses.
Such a big house can definitely be regarded as a mansion in the Tang Dynasty.
"Mu Chuan, what do you want to do?
I am a prince.
If you dare to hurt me, I will definitely not spare you!"
Li Tai shouted loudly.
He was now extremely frightened.
Muchuan looked at Li Tai and said: "This general has been ordered by the emperor to suppress the rebels. Any obstruction will lead to death.
Prince, please forgive me for being so rude!"
Li Tai was horrified and said: "Mu Chuan, how dare you!"
Muchuan drew his sword and cut off Li Tai's rope.
Then Muchuan didn't say anything.
Muchuan led his troops into the city, and Yang Gongren's city defense troops also followed him. The troops marched all the way into Prince Qing's Mansion.
Muchuan released Li Tai from being tied up and said to Li Tai, "Prince, should you and I have a good talk about what happened today?"
"
Li Tai's face was gloomy, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at an old housekeeper next to him.
This is a very old man with gray hair.
He looked at Muchuan with a smile and said, "General Mu, don't be like this. Can we talk about it first in the palace?"
Muchuan said calmly: "Okay, Xue Dingshan and Dou Yihu will disarm all the guards in Prince Qing's Mansion and surround Prince Qing's Mansion. Fan Lihua will follow me into the mansion."
"Here!"
The two men immediately agreed, leading hundreds of troops and rushing towards the perimeter.
Muchuan did not bring his personal guards, but brought Fan Lihua and Li Tai into the mansion together.
This time, Li Tai did not resist.
"Bang~bang~bang..."
Dozens of soldiers surrounded the entire palace and no one was allowed to escape.
Li Tai was dragged into the palace by Muchuan and entered the hall.
When Li Tai saw such a big mansion, his heart suddenly felt cold.
Li Tai asked: "What do you want?"
Muchuan sat down and said, "Prince, do you admit defeat?"
Li Tai said angrily: "Mu Chuan, do you want to usurp power?
I advise you to withdraw your troops quickly, otherwise the emperor will definitely not be able to spare you!"
Muchuan said: "Are you trying to scare me?"
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Mu Chuan, I am the prince, and my fiefdom is Luoyang Road. Don't be so arrogant."
Muchuan sighed and said: "Li Tai, this general is trying to save you.
You have to understand your current situation. You have no other choice but to surrender and cooperate with me.
If you resist to the end, you will not only lose your life, but you will also harm your wife, concubines, and children. If I report the facts to His Majesty, do you think your life will be spared?"
Li Tai's face turned pale.
He is not afraid of death, but he is reluctant to part with his family's glory and wealth.
"I surrender!"
Li Tai finally lowered his head and said.
Muchuan smiled.
Li Tai asked: "How do you want me to help you?"
Muchuan said: "I am about to take up my post in Youzhou. I hope that the eastern capital of Luoyang will serve as my rear area and fully support all my construction in Andong.
I need money, food, and protection of all my properties around Luoyang City. You provide me with support and send a large number of personnel to support me."
Li Tai said: "Mu Chuan, you are opening your mouth like a lion. You want so much money and talents. What do you want?"
Muchuan smiled and said: "I am planning to build a new state capital, called Shengjing Palace."
Li Tai's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You actually want to build a new state capital in Youzhou?"
Muchuan nodded: "Exactly!"
Li Tai laughed loudly: "Mu Chuan, do you really think you are a genius and can do anything?
Do you think you can compete with the Gyeonggi Camp with just Youzhou?"
Muchuan shook his head and said: "Of course not, that's why I want to build it. If I want to control the entire north, I must build a big city outside the pass, echoing the Youzhou Mansion, and communicating with each other."
"I know His Highness the Prince doesn't believe it, but I can show you some information."
Muchuan took out a stack of paper and handed it to Li Tai.
These materials were intelligence collected by Muchuan when he attacked Beiping Mansion, and some of them were about the construction of Youzhou and Shengjing in the Northeast.
Li Tai flipped through the information and took a deep breath.
