Qingpeng Mountain Magistrate took the secret decree of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji overnight and came to Fucheng. It was midnight at night, and Mu Youzhi, the prefect of Qinghai, was woken up just after falling asleep.

Mu Youzhi rubbed his sleepy eyes and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, he is not allowed to wake me up?"

The housekeeper of the Mu Mansion hurriedly approached his ear and said, "The emperor's secret decree ------"

One sentence shocked Mu Youzhi's sleepiness thousands of miles away, and he was busy setting up incense cases, kneeling down to read the secret edict sent by the county magistrate of Pengshan:

I took a trip along the coast, passing through Qingpeng Mountain, met the pirate head Zhang Dingsan, Zhang Batian, knew that he was a subordinate of the rebel Wu Chongxing, Qing saw this secret edict, and quickly gathered people and horses to come to Qingpeng Mountain four days later to arrest Wu Chongxing, and correct the law on the spot, and must not violate, Qin this.

Mu Youzhi read the secret decree, thanked him, and asked Qing Pengshan Zhixian suspiciously: "Tong Zhixian, why did the emperor let me go to Qing Pengshan in four days, why can't I go now?"

Tong Zhixian said with sincere fear: "The mind of the saint is unfathomable, my position as a county is no longer guaranteed, and I dare not speculate on the holy will anymore." ”

After the secret decree was conveyed to Mu Youzhi, Tong Zhixian resigned overnight and rushed to the Governor's Mansion of Fujian and Guangdong.

What was sent to the Governor's Mansion of Fujian and Guangdong was not a secret decree, but only an oral message.

Tong Zhixian borrowed a fast horse from Mu Youzhi, galloped all the way to the door of the Governor's Mansion of Fujian and Guangdong, turned over and dismounted, and shouted loudly: "The emperor commands, Li Wenbin takes the order!"

Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, heard the shouts of Tongzhi County in the mansion and hurriedly greeted him.

"Weichen takes the order!"

Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, respectfully knelt down at the door of the governor's palace.

In front of everyone, Tong Zhixian announced loudly: "The emperor has issued an edict that Li Wenbin, the governor of Xuanmin and Guangdong, immediately lead troops to Qingping Mountain to quell the rebels. ”

Hearing this, Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, raised his head suddenly, a little unable to believe that this was the emperor's dictation.

The rebels in Qingpingshan have existed for more than a day or two, how can they be leveled if they are leveled?

"Why did the emperor suddenly think of clearing Qingping Mountain?" Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, inquired suspiciously from Tongzhi County.

Tong Zhixian said thoughtfully: "This villain doesn't know, I'm a cloth cloth now, I just came here to deliver a message, I don't know the details." ”

didn't get the news he wanted, Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, didn't dare to hesitate, and after thanking him, he immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses and galloped to Qingping Mountain.

Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, has always been in contact with Zhang Dingsan and others, and has eaten a lot of their offerings. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji asked him to clear Qing Pingshan, and he also had the intention of testing him. Unexpectedly, he really couldn't stand the test, and the soldiers and horses came to Qingping Mountain and stationed down.

Surrounded but not suppressed, a lieutenant general asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, when will we go up the mountain?"

That person was Li Wenbin's cronies, so Li Wenbin said without taboo: "You guys, you guys, eat other people's offerings, and come to clean up other people, is it reasonable?"

"The Emperor's Message------?"

Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, said with a smile: "We have come to clean up in accordance with the instructions, but the rebels are too strong to be eliminated for a while, and they need financial and material support." ”

The man immediately understood, "The governor means that we eat both imperial grain and bandit food?"

Li Wenbin smiled like an old fox and said: "Be smart, it's not in vain that I have cultivated you for many years, go to the mountain to deliver a letter quickly, and let them send some gold and silver treasures, otherwise we will immediately go up the mountain to suppress the bandits." ”

At this time, Qingping Mountain had already received the news that the Tang Dynasty army was pressing.

Su Tong turned into a member of the rebels, hurriedly ran up the mountain, and reported: "The second master, Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, in order to curry favor with the faint king, made a plan to kill Zhang Da's family and the jade-faced fox. ”

Hearing this, the second master's heart was a little flustered, and a few people who could make up their minds had no idea, so they took advantage of the chaos Su Tong to hide next to him, looking lively.

When the people sent by Li Wenbin to the mountain conveyed Li Wenbin's words, the second leader of Qingpingshan ordered without waiting for him to finish speaking: "This thief and corrupt official, betrayed my eldest brother and wants to come to me to reap benefits, come on, cut off this person's head and throw it down the mountain, so that Li Bald knows that it is not easy to mess with our Qingpingshan." ”

It didn't take long for Li Wenbin to receive the head of the messenger who had been thrown into the barracks by the rebels on Qingping Mountain.

Li Wenbin slapped the table and said angrily: "These ----- these people are really hateful, they actually killed my messenger, and they deceived people too much!"

Seeing that he could no longer get any benefits from Qingpingshan, Li Wenbin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, was furious and ordered the army to immediately sweep Pingpingshan.

The people on the mountain had a heart of revenge, and the people under the mountain were angry and ashamed, and Su Tong instigated the two sides to fight to the death without a single shot.

The rebels of Qingpingshan have existed for many years, and the bandits at sea are a family, and they have robbed a lot of money, and they are willing to spend money, and the weapons and artillery on the mountain are readily available, and the geographical environment of Qingpingshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The two sides fought for three days in a row, and the stalemate continued. The more the Tang army died, the more people died, Li Wenbin was upset and irritable, and had a headache, and some soldiers offered advice: "Our troops are divided into four routes, and they are surrounded from the back mountain in a outflanking situation, so that they will not be able to take care of each other and destroy them in one fell swoop." ”

This suggestion is good, Li Wenbin nodded in response.

The southeast, northwest, and four roads encircled and attacked together, and within a day, the shells on Qingping Mountain were exhausted, and the Tang army took the opportunity to climb the mountain, and the army advanced and killed countless rebels. The second master, the third master, saw that the general trend had gone, and took dozens of dead friends to retreat along the secret passage, and met Li Wenbin who was looking up to the sky and smiling.

Seeing this, Qing Pingshan's second and third leaders were born from the guts, touched Li Wenbin's back and stabbed him fiercely, and sent him back to the west.

At this time, the large troops of the Fujian and Guangdong Governor's Mansion were fighting in the front, and there were only hundreds of cronies left around him. Not long after, Li Wenbin and his cronies in the rear were all wiped out with Qing Pingshan, the second master, the third master, and others.

Li Wenbin died, but the deputy general who was fighting in front was still there, and with Su Tong's secret help, Qingping Mountain was quickly leveled, and all the rebels, young and old, were bundled. Countless gold, silver, and jewels were copied.

Seeing that the deputy general of Fujian and Guangdong, Qiu, had registered all the gold, silver and jewelry in the register without committing any crimes, Su Tong left Qingpingshan with confidence and rushed back to Qingpengshan County.

At this time, less than five days have passed since Tong Zhi County went out to spread the decree, and he has not seen Qingpengshan County come to foreign aid for a long time, and Wu Chongxing is relieved to boldly come forward.

While sending people to Qingping Mountain to transfer troops, he swaggered into the county office.

"Li Longji, it's not comfortable to be trapped for a few days, right?" He smirked.

"How did you escape?" Li Longji looked at Wu Chongxing and asked with a calm face.

"This is also thanks to your precious prince Li Xiang, it was his greed that saved me. Wu Chongxing said with a smile.

"Oh. Li Longji answered, and didn't ask any more.

Not seeing Li Longji's distressed appearance, Wu Chongxing's heart was a little disappointed, and he asked, "Why aren't you angry?"
