At this time, the situation had become extremely delicate. Although Yu Chaoen kept saying that he would have a good talk with him tomorrow morning, Li Yu had received definite news that Yu Chaoen would launch a mutiny tonight.
Li Yu was anxious and kept pacing back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his hands. He had almost no backup plan. If the Qianniu Guards failed, he would have to retreat to the capital immediately.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and a guard knelt down at the door and reported, "Your Majesty, General Dugu has an urgent message!"
"Where is the letter?" Li Yu asked anxiously.
A soldier from Lonely Solitary Autumn quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and presented a piece of paper. Li Yu nervously unfolded the piece of paper. There were only four words in it, 'Thousands of Oxen Go to Heaven'.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Where is Mr. Guo?"
"He went to meet up with Guo Laolinggong."
Li Yu immediately ordered: "Preach my decree and immediately surround Yu Chaoen's tent!"
As long as they control the Qianniuwei, they will be victorious.
More than two thousand guards quickly surrounded Yu Chaoen's tent, which surprised Yu Chaoen. He immediately realized that something must have happened to the Qianniu Guards.
Yu Chaoen hurriedly took out two copies of the Emperor's will from the box he carried with him and quickly walked out of the tent. Dozens of warriors guarded him tightly.
Yu Chaoen raised the decree high and shouted sternly: "This is the emperor's decree. Who dares to touch me?"
All the guards looked at each other. If Yu Chaoen had the Emperor's decree, it would be hard for the emperor to touch him.
Even if Yu Chaoen is killed forcibly, it will seriously damage the emperor's prestige. After all, the emperor's will is more authoritative than the emperor's will.
At this time, Li Yu came out and said calmly: "Do you think what you got is really the emperor's decree?"
He also took out two identical copies of the Emperor's will and handed them to a dozen important ministers behind him. Everyone looked at them one by one and were stunned. This was the Emperor's will. So what was Yu Chaoen holding in his hand?
Yu Chaoen secretly screamed that something was not right, and hurriedly opened the will in his hand. His face turned pale immediately. There were actually two fake wills with the wrong seals. They had been switched at some point.
Li Yu snorted heavily, "What crime do you deserve for falsely conveying the Emperor's will?"
Before Yu Chaoen could give the order, the warriors around him fell down one after another, and a tall, thin man in gray clothes with a pale face walked up quickly carrying Yu Chaoen, and slapped Yu Chaoen hard in front of Li Yu.
All Yu Chaoen's warriors were stunned. The man who captured Yu Chaoen turned out to be his personal guard Dou Xianlai. Yu Chaoen's eyes also widened, "You...you...
...." He pointed at Dou Xian, unable to say a word.
Dou Xianlai knelt down and saluted Emperor Li Yu, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am so lucky to have lived up to my command!"
Li Yu nodded, "I have endured the humiliation and bear the burden, regardless of reputation. I have wronged you and the Dou family in the past five years."
He looked at Yu Chaoen and sneered: "Don't you know that the incident at Tianwang Temple was planned by me? I sacrificed three important ministers just to wait for today!"
Yu Chaoen immediately collapsed on the ground. It was over, the Qianniu Guard was over, the Shence Army was over, and everything was over for him.
.......
On the official road to Chang'an City, a cavalry team of dozens of people was galloping rapidly. The leader was a veteran with white hair and beard, who was Guo Ziyi, the first general in the Middle Tang Dynasty.
Although Guo Ziyi holds the title of Minister of the School Inspection and Military Affairs Department, he has actually been idle at home for nearly ten years. However, Guo Ziyi still has extremely high prestige in the military. Both soldiers and generals are sincerely convinced by him, so in history Guo Ziyi is called '
"The commander-in-chief who is just one step away from ascending the throne" means that his prestige in the army has surpassed that of the emperor.
Whenever the Tang Dynasty was in crisis, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would invite him out to calm the situation.
It's the same this time. Li Yu hopes to use Guo Ziyi's prestige to suppress the Shence Army.
Guo Chongqing and Guo Song followed Guo Ziyi. Guo Chongqing's Zuo Xiaowei polo team also killed the top eight. Like Guo Song, Guo Chongqing also withdrew from the game early and escorted Guo Ziyi to Qiu Shou camp.
Guo Song had just come out of the Qianniu Guard barracks, and Du Guqiu had already taken control of the Qianniu Guard situation. Things like increasing rewards and appeasing the generals later had nothing to do with him.
Originally, the matter of escorting Guo Ziyi to Shence Army had nothing to do with him, but when they happened to meet him, Guo Song offered to escort Guo Ziyi.
The crowd ran all the way, and when night fell, they saw the Shence Army camp from a distance...
The camp of one hundred thousand Shence Army is stationed thirty miles east of the hunting ground. It was Yu Chaoen who was transferred from Bashang without permission. According to the plan, tonight the Shence Army will march directly into the Qiuchou garrison to control the emperor and the civil and military personnel.
official.
As soon as night fell, the third battalion general Dou Feiyun and the fourth general Huangfu Jun sent people to invite Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing to come to discuss the matter in the name of implementing the details of the operation.
Dou Feiyun and Huangfu Jun were both Li Yu's cronies in the Shence Army. In order to win Yu Chaoen's trust, Li Yu did not hesitate to rehearse the Tianwang Temple Incident, sacrificing Gao Lishi, Chen Xuanli and Xiao Hua, and even gave up his
The Dou family and the Huangfu family gained Yu Chaoen's trust and successfully controlled half of the Shence Army.
There are no people under Yu Chaoen under Dou Feiyun and Huangfu Jun. Even if there are people installed by Yu Chaoen, they will try their best to exclude them, and they will have a false reputation but no real power. But Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing are different.
Most of the generals in their military camp are the confidants installed by Yu Chaoen.
At this time, a soldier reported, "The two fish generals are here!"
"Invite them in!"
After a moment, Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing walked in quickly, and Yu Lingwu asked: "Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"
Dou Feiyun smiled slightly and said: "It's mainly about some details. Brother Huangfu and I discussed it just now and thought that there should be an allegiance ceremony among the middle-level generals."
"Is it necessary?" Yu Lingqing asked after hesitation.
"Of course it's necessary!"
Dou Feiyun said without hesitation: "If we are not like-minded, if there is a fight, there may be defections. Don't forget who the other party is?"
Dou Feiyun's consideration was indeed very thorough and reasonable. Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing nodded, and they agreed.
"What should we do?" Yu Lingwu asked.
"Time is running out. All we need is for the generals above to express their stance. We will hold a ceremony and we will make an alliance by blood!"
Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing didn't think much and immediately sent people to summon their subordinates. Dou Feiyun and Huangfu Jun each exchanged a look. Dou Yunfei said again: "There is another extremely important matter, related to the distribution of hundreds of thousands taels of gold.
, why don’t we go to the back tent to discuss it?”
Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing heard that there were hundreds of thousands taels of gold, and they happily followed Dou Feiyun and Huangfu Jun into the small tent at the back.
Just as the two of them entered the tent, Dou Feiyun and Huangfu Jun drew their swords at the same time and launched an attack from behind. They saw two cold lights flashing, blood splattering everywhere, and two human skulls rolling to the ground.
Two deep pits were dug in the secret tent and the coffins were buried in advance. Dou Feiyun and Huangfu Jun hid the bodies of the Yu brothers in the coffins. Dou Yunfei coaxed more than a dozen of their relatives outside the tent into the big tent and ambush them between them.
The swordsmen and axemen in the tent rushed out and killed all the dozens of soldiers. They were all cleaned up in a short time.
Not long after, dozens of generals and generals arrived one after another. Everyone who entered the tent put their swords outside and walked into the tent with bare hands.
Everyone gathered together and talked quietly, wondering what happened?
At this time, Dou Yunfei said to everyone: "Brother Yu has been killed by me. I'm sorry everyone. There are three thousand crossbowmen outside surrounding the big tent. If you don't want to die, please lie down on the ground immediately. If you want to die, just stand!"
"
After saying that, Dou Yunfei turned around and went out from behind.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, only to hear Huangfu Jun shouting outside: "Get ready to shoot arrows!"
The generals were shocked and fell to the ground. A dozen of Yu Chaoen's confidants realized that something was wrong, turned around and rushed out. They heard a burst of arrows, and dense arrows were shot from all directions. More than a dozen generals
He was shot like a hedgehog and died tragically on the spot.
The rain of arrows stopped, and then a large group of soldiers rushed into the tent and tied up all the generals on the ground.
...........
Guo Ziyi's arrival was very timely. Not long after he had dealt with the Yu brothers, Guo Ziyi arrived at the military camp. Dou Yunfei sent several soldiers to wait on the official road.
"Reporting to Marshal Guo, my general has beheaded the Yu brothers and eradicated most of their minions."
Guo Ziyi stroked his beard and asked Guo Songdao: "What do you think?"
Guo Song said calmly: "Since it has been beheaded, where is the head?"
"The head...is in the military camp." The leading soldier said hesitantly.
"You'd better send someone to get the heads of the Yu brothers! It's a serious matter, so we must be cautious."
Several soldiers looked at Guo Ziyi again. Guo Ziyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I also suggest that it is best to bring the head."
"Please wait a moment, Lord Guo!"
The leading soldier glared at Guo Song and urged his horse to run towards the military camp.
