Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters Dengzhou mutiny
(It's okay if Li Qi didn't say this, but once he said it, it seemed that Mrs. Qin was trying to hide it. She was even more anxious. Of course she knew how Li Qingzhao could write such a letter to Li Qi. Moreover, Li Qi, who had always been cunning and cunning, could actually use it so clumsily.
It is conceivable that he must be very panicked at this moment, so something big must have happened over there. Li Qingzhao shouted: "Don't think that I am an ignorant woman and child. If you say this, I'm afraid you won't know how to do it."
believe"
Uh... It seems a bit fake! Li Qi said shamelessly: "Why don't you believe it? Sister Qingzhao and I are close friends. Can't Sister Qingzhao miss me?"
Mrs. Qin suddenly stood up and walked towards Li Qi
Li Qi protected the letter with both hands and said nervously: "Madam, what do you want to do? Tell you, I regard my chastity as my life. You can't take it away from me."
Mrs. Qin listened to his nonsense and frowned secretly, but she didn't care about arguing with Li Qi so much at this time and said: "Who wants your--, I just want to borrow the letter in your hand to read it."
Li Qi was afraid and said: "This letter is like my virginity, how can I show it to others at will?"
This person is really obscene! Mrs. Qin said urgently: "It's been such a long time, why are you still here, take out the letter quickly?"
"don't want"
"you---"
"This letter was given to me by sister Qingzhao."
"I know this"
"I know you still want it"
Mrs. Qin said helplessly: "I just want to take a look."
Li Qi asked: "Will you show me the love letter your husband gave you?"
"But this isn't--it's not a love letter."
"It's not a love letter, but it's better than a love letter. Besides, sister Qingzhao is very talented in writing and the content is extremely profound. If I read it to you, you won't understand it. It's better not to read it."
Mrs. Qin said angrily: "How could Sister Li's letter to you be so profound? Isn't that bullying?"
"Eh? How do you know that?" Li Qi nodded, and then reacted: "Madam, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that I have no depth?"
"I didn't say that." Mrs. Qin's mouth twitched slightly, and she was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said, "Okay, I don't have to look at it, but just tell me what happened?"
"this---"
Li Qi scratched the back of his head and said: "Madam, even if you find out about this matter, you can't help much. It's better not to know. But don't worry, as long as I am still alive, Sister Qingzhao will not be harmed in any way."
Mrs. Qin knew that Li Qi's move was for her own good, and sighed: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but since I already know this, if you don't tell me, wouldn't I be even worse?"
Huh? What she said makes sense. Seeing Mrs. Qin's worried face, Li Qi thought to himself, he might as well tell her, lest she think about it all day long: "To put it simply, there was a mutiny in Dengzhou and there was an emergency in Laizhou, which means someone
rebel"
"Ouch!"
Mrs. Qin covered her mouth with both hands in surprise, and then asked quickly: "Isn't Sister Li very dangerous?"
Li Qi tried his best to look more relaxed and said: "That's not true. According to the letter, the scale of the rebels is not very large. If the imperial court sends troops, it won't take long to defeat the rebels."
bulldozed”
Mrs. Qin frowned slightly and said, "So, the letter from Sister Qingzhao is to ask for help?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "You can also say that."
"That's right, you are the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army. You will definitely be able to think of a way, so why don't you hurry up and prepare?"
Li Qi said angrily: "I want to go, but aren't you stopping me here?"
Mrs. Qin nodded hurriedly and said: "It's my fault. You should go quickly."
"That's pretty much it." Li Qi turned around and walked out.
After leaving the door, he immediately rushed to the guard step. At the same time, he asked Niu Gao to find Niu Gao and asked him to go to the guard step immediately.
What he just said was easy, but in fact things are not that simple. Li Qingzhao said in the letter that because Dengzhou is close to the capital, the powerful and powerful forces have reached out to it. For example, in Dengzhou alone, there are hundreds of hectares of clan official land, all of which are barren.
The rent of more than 10,000 yuan was passed on to the local people, and the goods were often seized and extorted from the farmers, making the people of Dengzhou miserable and resentful. However, not long ago, a commander of the Dengzhou Forbidden Army was frequently harassed by the Dengzhou prefect.
He was oppressed and even wanted to seize his wife. This man finally couldn't bear the humiliation and rebelled. This was like a trigger. The people who were usually oppressed immediately responded one after another with great momentum. Now the rebels have conquered Dengzhou. As for the
The prefect of Dengzhou had already disappeared before the city gate was breached. With the fall of Dengzhou, the scale of this group of rebels became larger and larger, reaching 30,000 people. But that was all, and it was not enough.
They confronted the imperial court head-on, so after they captured Dengzhou, they did not stay long. They looted Dengzhou and then retreated. They occupied the mountain and became the king. They followed the example of Song Jiang and others and did whatever they could to do justice for heaven. However, Laizhou, which borders Dengzhou,
Nature is in danger
In fact, since the Fangla Uprising, the Song Dynasty has been on the verge of collapse. There have been uprisings in various places every now and then, but they were all strangled in the cradle. When Han Shizhong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he didn't know how many rebel armies were wiped out in just a short while, so this
This is not surprising in today’s Song Dynasty.
Leaving aside Li Qingzhao, Dengzhou and Laizhou were the largest ports in the Northern Song Dynasty. There was absolutely no room for failure. Li Qi had to treat it with caution.
Since the imperial court had not learned the news at this time, Li Qi did not want to publicize it, so he just called these three confidants.
Li Qi hummed, without saying much, and handed them Li Qingzhao's letter directly.
After Yue Fei looked at it, he frowned and said, "Strange, why does the imperial court know nothing about this?"
Niu Gao also nodded and said: "Yes, I haven't heard the news either."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "It's very simple. A large Dengzhou was easily defeated by thousands of rebels, and the prefect of Dengzhou abandoned the city and fled at the first opportunity. If the imperial court knew, he would have to escape even if he died.
Anyone else would choose to hide it first and go to Laizhou for help. This is why the letter explains that the Laizhou magistrate once sent troops to suppress it but unfortunately failed, and the rebels are becoming more and more powerful. Now they want to
I can’t hide anything anymore. The wife of the magistrate of Laizhou just told me the situation first, hoping that I can report to the court and send troops to suppress it quickly. I believe the emergency letter from Laizhou will arrive soon."
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, and that was that the reason why Li Qingzhao's letter came to someone earlier was because Li Qingzhao was afraid that Zhao Mingcheng would be implicated because of it, and Li Qi could help Zhao Mingcheng get away with it. Of course, this kind of thing was very difficult for Li Qingzhao.
She wanted to open her mouth, so she did not write it clearly in the letter, but just sent her letter first. She knew that in this way, Li Qi would naturally understand her intention.
Yue Fei and the others were just fledglings and did not understand the twists and turns of the officialdom. Even at the moment of his death, he still did not understand. Niu Gao said: "Commander Bu, I don't know what you are going to do?"
Li Qidao: "There is a saying that it takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a short time to use it. Our forbidden army has been training for many years, and it's time to see the results of the training. The real battlefield is the best place to test your strength, so I plan to send you there.
I wonder if you are sure?"
Yue Fei immediately got excited and geared up, clasping his fists and saying: "Commander Bu only needs to give the last general five thousand troops, and the last general will definitely kill the traitor with his own hands."
Niugao Beast's blood boiled and he nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, five thousand is enough."
Li Qi frowned and said: "Five thousand? Isn't it too little? The number of rebel thieves has now reached 30,000."
Yue Fei said confidently: "Commander Bu didn't know something. When he was under Liu Kai's tent, he led a hundred soldiers to exterminate the bandit Tao Jun, Jia Jin and other thieves. At first, the opponent was also aggressive, but this time
As soon as the war started, the general found that the opponent was just a group of mobs with no ability to fight back. These rebels were just a group of bandits with no discipline at all. They relied on small victories to unite. Once they encountered
Failure will definitely make the army feel guilty. When the time comes, they can be defeated one by one and wiped out in one fell swoop. The same was true during the Fang La Uprising. Bu Commander often said that an undisciplined army is simply vulnerable and will only end up dying on the battlefield. Moreover,
As the scale of the rebels becomes larger and larger, their loopholes will surely become more and more numerous, which is really nothing to worry about."
Li Qi nodded frequently after hearing this, but still felt a little unsafe and said: "The two states of Denglai play a vital role in my new law. There is no room for failure. You still need to bring more people. I will bring them as soon as I see it."
Let’s go forward with ten thousand soldiers and horses.”
Yue Fei shook his head and said: "It is said in the art of war that soldiers are valuable and quick. If we want to bring 10,000 troops and horses, we will have to raise food and grass, which will waste a lot of time and may delay the opportunity to fight. If we only send 5,000 troops on a rapid march, we will
The battle can be won quickly, and I believe that with the only food in Laizhou, it will not be a problem for ten days and a half."
Li Qi saw that Yue Fei was full of confidence, and the other party was his idol, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses. You go and prepare immediately. I will go to the palace to meet the saint."
"Yes," Yue Fei said happily
Niu Gao suddenly said: "Commander Bu, dispatching troops and generals has always been a matter for the Privy Council."
Li Qi groaned, and then he came to his senses. I bet what I just said was in vain. As the commander-in-chief of the San Yamen, interfering in the affairs of the Privy Council was also a taboo for the emperors of the Song Dynasty. Although it was not fatal, it would definitely be punished by others.
When the impeachment came, I had too much time to take care of myself, so why did I go and pat Li Qingzhao's forehead a few times, and said angrily: "It's really confusing to care, how could I forget about this matter, thank you for reminding me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to go."
If he told Song Huizong directly about this matter, Song Huizong would immediately ask the Privy Council to dispatch troops to suppress it. It had nothing to do with him, because Cai You would definitely not let him lead the troops, nor would he let Tong Guan win.
The Western Army is too far away. I really don’t know who Cai You will send. It might be self-defeating. At that time, he will not be able to intervene even if he wants to.
At this point, he groaned and said with a headache: "This morning, I made the Privy Council disgraced, and now I have to go and beg him again. Will he agree?"
These words undoubtedly poured cold water over Yue Fei's head. He said depressedly: "What should we do? Commander Bu, you don't have the Tiger Talisman, so you can't mobilize the imperial army without authorization."
"I know this too"
Li Qi nodded depressedly and pondered for a while, but he was so upset that he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he simply stood up and said: "You guys stay here first, I'll go meet with the Privy Council, what a fool."
Guy, with his IQ, if I can’t fool him, then I’ll stop fooling around.”
This sounds a bit like cheering yourself up.
Yue Fei and Niu Gao looked at each other, not daring to have any worries about Li Qi's trip. After all, the grievances between Li Qi and Cai You were well known to the world, and the two were incompatible (to be continued)
