Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Buddha Mother, who had been silent all the time, snorted coldly, stood up and left the hall. Everyone knew that Buddha Mother was dissatisfied with their loud talk, but when the incident came, they all shrank their heads. But that was
Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers! How can we support these thousands of troops?
Seeing the leaders sighing, Elder Tang could only wave his hand and said: "Let's come here first, let me think about it again."
"Yes!" The leaders dispersed one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.
In the meeting hall, only Tang Tiande and Bin Hong were left. Tang Tiande sat down on the top chair where the Buddha's mother had just been sitting, rubbing his forehead in distress: "You, a military advisor, can give me some advice."
Bin Hong said depressedly: "Elder, it's no good if you don't have troops now. If you raise troops, you may become a victim. I think this situation was designed by the man from Le'an Prefecture. We really can't take advantage of it!"
"Don't say these are useless, what I want is ideas!" Tang Tiande looked at Bin Hong with some dissatisfaction, thinking that he usually pretends to be like Zhuge Liang, but when it comes to things, he can't keep up with a cobbler!
"Hey, okay..." Bin Hong tugged at the mouse's beard in distress, trying to figure out a plan to have both ends of the world, but he was just a failed move, how could there be so many good plans? Just when he was trying to break his head.
, just when he was about to give in, Liu Xin suddenly came in with a strange look and reported: "Elder Military Advisor, someone is coming from Le'an Prefecture!"
"Okay! You dare to come!" Bin Hong was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. After hearing this, he immediately found the target and said loudly: "Just ask them why they want to cause trouble for us?!"
"..." Tang Tiande pondered for a moment with a sullen face, then said in a deep voice: "Let them come in!"
After a while, a noble young man in brocade clothes entered the hall under the protection of several warriors. The young man bowed his hands to Tang Tiande and said with a somewhat unreverent smile: "Le'an Tangtang
Lord Zhu San, I have met Elder Tang, the military advisor!"
Tang Tiande and Bin Hong didn't care about Zhu San's slightly disrespectful attitude, because they knew that this guy's true identity was Zhu Zhantan, the third son of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty! Although he was from the White Lotus Sect, which was against the imperial court, they didn't care about this guy.
Guizhou Zhong Tianhuang still has a deep sense of awe.
"Master Zhu San is coming to Qingzhou," Tang Tiande looked at Zhu Zhantan and said in a low voice, "Do you want to explain what happened to Gao Yang'er?"
"Haha, why did Elder Tang say this?" Zhu Zhantan did not answer the question and said with a smile: "Gao Yang'er is a subordinate of Laizhou Branch, and there is Qingzhou between us and Jinan Branch. What does he want?
We can't control it."
"There's no need to be sloppy here, a wise man doesn't tell secret stories!" Bin Hong sneered; "Gao Yang'er had already asked the man named Wei to drag him to the Hanwang Palace to pay homage to the dock. Do you and your son think that all the men in Shandong are blind?
?!"
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Zhantan pretended to be stupid and said blankly: "Then I will ask my father when I go back later." He said with a smile: "Oh, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until then. As far as I know
You know, in ten days at most, the counter-rebellion army led by Wang Xian will arrive in Qingzhou!"
"Third Young Master, please just tell me what you have to say?!" Tang Tiande stared at Zhu Zhantan and said in a deep voice: "If you are just here to watch the excitement, then please go back quickly. The war in Qingzhou is about to start, and I'm afraid your body will be injured!
"
"Oh, so..." Zhu Zhantan said with a smile: "The elders and the Buddha Mother are going to hold up the white lotus flag and represent our heroes from all walks of life in Shandong to fight to the death with the government and the army?"
"I and the Buddha Mother are incompatible with the officers and soldiers, so naturally they will not be allowed to cross the border," Tang Tiande raised his gray eyebrows and said harshly: "So what if we want to fight to the death?!"
"Good! I admire you! I admire you!" Zhu Zhantan raised his palms and cheered: "This is like the leader of the Shandong White Lotus Sect!"
"But you and your son instigated Gao Yang'er to ruin my big thing. This matter can never be settled like this!" Tang Tiande slapped the armrest and gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, cut off this guy's ears and drink some wine to let me know what's in my heart."
hatred!"
"Okay!" Liu Xin shouted loudly, and then led a dozen men with their heads wrapped in red scarves to surround Zhu Zhantan and others.
"Who dares!" Seeing Tang Tiande's men surrounding him, Zhu Zhantan's bodyguard quickly protected his prince in the middle!
However, Zhu Zhantan did not panic, because he knew that Tang Tiande, an old dog, would not really do anything to him. Everyone knew many things well, and the superficial efforts did not count at all. Zhu Zhantan dusted his robe and feet.
Dusty smiled calmly and said: "Hey, my good intentions are not rewarded. I went up the mountain under the order of my father to help the elder and the Buddha's mother. I didn't expect that the elder would cut off my ears..."
"Hmph!" Tang Tiande snorted coldly: "According to your father and son, I think my life is too long?!"
"What if it's a sure-win strategy?" Zhu Zhantan asked quietly.
After marching for several days, the army left the boundaries of Jinan Prefecture and entered Qingzhou.
As soon as Wang Xian and Guo Yi entered Qingzhou, they met Wang Sanshi, the bereaved prefect of Qingzhou. This dignified fourth-grade prefect knelt in front of their horses and cried bitterly: "My lord! The White Lotus Sect has rebelled! The Buddha Mother led the attack.
Get off Qingzhou City! Kill Hu Zhizhou! If the official runs a step slower, they will have to light the sky lantern!"
"What?!" Guo Yi jumped off his horse and kicked Magistrate Wang to the ground: "You have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, what do they do for food?!"
"Previously, the White Lotus Sect in Rizhao and Yishui counties rebelled. Commander Gao Feng led his troops to suppress the rebellion. He had already taken away most of the soldiers and horses, leaving only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled in the city!" Wang Zhifu climbed up in embarrassment.
He got up, his nose bursting with tears and he said: "The White Lotus Sect had an internal response in the city. They killed the officers and soldiers guarding the city late at night and opened the city gate! They rushed into Qingzhou City... Wuwu, all the family members of Xiaguan are still in the city.
Here..."
"Okay, stop crying!" Wang Xian's face was as dark as water, he scolded Wang Sanshi to shut up, and asked the general behind him: "How many soldiers and horses does the White Lotus Sect have?" He gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Tell me the truth!
Otherwise, I will definitely kill you without mercy!"
"To be honest, I really didn't see it clearly," the general, who was from Qianhu, said with a grimace: "It's all in the dark. There are White Lotus cultists with their heads wrapped in red cloth everywhere. I guess there are tens of thousands of them..."
"Master Hou." Wang Xian looked at Guo Yi.
"Sir, no matter what, we have to take back Qingzhou first!" Guo Yi said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. Qingzhou is a capital city and must not fall into the hands of the White Lotus Sect. The consequences would be too serious.
"I will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to go ahead and see if I can take back Qingzhou while their foothold is not stable! Your Excellency, lead the other half of the soldiers and horses to the rear to support them in case of any eventuality!" Guo Yi quickly made another decision.
"Just follow the advice of the Marquis." Wang Xian nodded and warned: "Be careful!"
"Don't worry, sir!" Guo Yi said proudly: "A certain family will follow the emperor to conquer the north and south, and they won't capsize in this gutter!"
Guo Yi led half of his troops and marched quickly towards Qingzhou. Wang Xian gathered his troops and followed behind without haste. When they were still five miles away from Qingzhou City, Wang Xian ordered his men to be more vigilant. At this time, fast horses galloped to report.
: "Report! Our army has recaptured Qingzhou! Lord Marquis, please ask the imperial envoy to quickly enter the city to rendezvous!"
"Ah!" Wang Zhifu, who was begging beside Wang Xian along the way, cried with joy when he heard this: "God bless you! God opens your eyes!"
"Enter the city!" No matter how we can take back Qingzhou, it is a good thing. Wang Xian nodded and ordered the army to enter the city!
Half an hour later, the team arrived at Qingzhou City, and sure enough they saw the flag of the Ming Dynasty had been hung on the city! When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw Wang Xian, they hurriedly opened the city gate and let the army enter the city.
Qingzhou is an important town and has always stationed large armies. When the army enters the city, it has its own barracks. Wang Xian, under the guidance of the prefect, went to the prefect's Yamen. Walking on the streets of Qingzhou, he saw that there were no traces of military chaos or shops.
He was not robbed. Wang Xian couldn't help but frown slightly. Bailian Jiaoqiu did nothing wrong, that's what is really scary!
On Fuqian Street, Wang Xian met Guo Yi. Before he could speak, Prefect Wang shouted at Guo Yi and shouted, "Master Hou is so powerful! He is really a general descending from heaven!"
"F*ck you!" The answer was Guo Yi's heavy kick. Wang Zhifu immediately fell to the ground on his back! Guo Yi spat at him again and cursed: "You are such a stupid bitch."
deal!"
In the astonished eyes of the prefect, Guo Yi reported to Wang Xian with a dark face: "Although the White Lotus Sect's army did not plunder the people's property, they emptied the Qingzhou Army's armory! They took away tens of thousands of sets of armor and weapons.
! They also opened warehouses to store grain and distributed all the government grain to the common people!" He lowered his voice and said, "When they evacuated, tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou City followed them!"
Wang Xian was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure and asked slowly: "So the two armies are not at war?"
Guo Yi shook his head and whispered: "When our army arrived, they withdrew..." Then he looked at Wang Xiandao: "Sir, I am ready to lead the army to pursue! This group of White Lotus Sect must be annihilated immediately! Otherwise, they will soon
I will make use of those young men and the soldiers and armor I grabbed to grow stronger!"
"It's better to be cautious to prevent fraud!" Wang Xian shook his head and said: "I kept thinking on the way here that the timing of this group of White Lotus Sect's troops is too coincidental. I'm afraid they are coming for us!"
"Haha, don't worry, sir!" Guo Yi said nonchalantly: "As I said, if a certain family followed the emperor to fight in the north and south, they wouldn't have capsized in this gutter! It's useless for a group of grass bandits, look at it
I will destroy this pilgrimage!"
"Marquis..." Wang Xian wanted to persuade him again, but Guo Yi could no longer listen. Although he was an imperial envoy, the other party was a marquis, and his title was still higher than his own. Once he made up his mind, he could only do it.
.
Wang Xian had no choice but to follow Guo Yi's wishes. He led 10,000 troops to pursue the White Lotus Sect, and the remaining troops stayed with him in Qingzhou.
Before Guo Yi sent troops, Wang Xian found another map, studied it carefully with Guo Yi, and repeatedly warned him that if the White Lotus Sect fled into the mountains, they must not pursue him! Guo Yi agreed immediately, rolled up the map, and asked his soldiers to
Put it away and strode out of the government office!
