Chapter 53: Catching a Turtle in an Urn (2)
He tried to stabilize his mind and instructed the guards: "The two of you will lead a cavalry out of the side gate, and try to contact the Jiangzhou director of Yiyun Pavilion and ask them to transport food over. ”
Just as the guards were about to go out, Tai Chu had already heard hurried footsteps, and a large number of soldiers and horses came near the granary, and soon, he saw Li Li with several lieutenants blocking the door.
At this time, Li Li was dressed in a military uniform, heroic, and awe-inspiring, and he was not at all afraid of the day before yesterday, he looked at Tai Chu and smiled gently: "Lord Tai, Yiyun Pavilion doesn't need to be contacted!" The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his face was calm, and there was no trace of smugness.
"Li Li, you shameless villain!" Tai Chu said angrily.
Li Li was not angry at all, and still said lightly: "Lord Tai, if you want to ask shameless, I think no one can compare to the Yuan brothers." The saint is not thin on the Yuan family, but the Yuan family has always been disobedient, sending people to assassinate the Nine Emperor Princes first, and then sending people to kill General Yin, wanting to seize Jiangzhou and overlook the capital. It's really Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it. Do you want to bury the Yuan family? His eyes swept over each of the soldiers in the granary, and he saw the hesitation on their faces with satisfaction.
He immediately ordered with a stern look in his eyes: "Come here, bring Lord Tai and all the soldiers back to the Banzhou Military Mansion." ”
However, in an instant, the entire Banzhou City has changed owners, and when Tai Chu followed Li Li back, he was quite surprised to see that there were many soldiers and bright lights everywhere in Banzhou City, what arrangements did Li Li make to turn defeat into victory so quickly?
Li Li noticed his surprised gaze, smiled in his heart, and explained: "My lord, do you remember the many people you saw when you first entered the city? ”
Tai Chu nodded, and Li Li continued: "Those are our soldiers, and now our soldiers are wearing your uniforms, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by General Hao Zhanwei and General Guo Shoucheng are surrounding the city. ”
Li Li and the others soon returned to the military palace, and his soldiers had already brought in the generals of Yuan's army in Banzhou.
Li Li's resolute eyes glanced at the soldiers under the hall, and he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the generals are Li Li, the defender of Jiangzhou Banzhou City, and now the Great Yan is eyeing the tiger, you give up guarding the border of Dahuan, give up defending the country, and with the rebellion of the Yuan brothers, the soldiers of Dahuan killed each other, and the people in the city were forced to move. ”
Under his questioning, many soldiers were ashamed, and Tai Chu sighed softly, why didn't he want to protect the territory and the people, but he lived under the eaves of the Yuan family, and had to be loyal to his master.
"Generals, Lord Pei Yunpei, the general of the protector of the country, is rushing to Jiangzhou, the imperial court has made up its mind to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop, your family should still be in the hands of the imperial court, do you want to cut off the lives of your relatives for the sake of the Yuan family's own selfish interests?" At this time, Li Li's face was heroic and upright, and his eyes showed compassion. And the soldiers in the hall were even more red-faced, you look at me, I look at you, and they all bowed their heads and were silent.
Li Li smiled in his heart when he saw this, "General Gao has an order, as long as you put down your swords, no longer follow the Yuan family, and respect the orders of the imperial court, then you are still good soldiers of Dahuan, and General Gao will definitely play the Holy Lord to ensure your safety." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they all looked at him, with guilt and anticipation in their eyes.
And Li Li, who was standing in the hall, stared at Tai Chu, motionless, he was waiting, waiting for Tai Chu's approval, as long as he agreed, then the other soldiers would obey, after all, he was the Sima of General Yuan Zhen's mansion, and he had a high reputation and status.
Tai Chu smiled bitterly, he turned to look at the soldiers, "Generals, Tai Chu is deeply ashamed to let you fall into such a situation, now we are all prisoners of General Li, since General Li is so sincere, Tai Chu hopes that you can return to the imperial court, guard the frontier again, and serve the country." His voice was as smooth as water, and the listener felt comfortable and friendly.
The generals finally let go of the last scruples in their hearts and said in unison: "I am willing to return to the imperial court and obey General Gao's orders!" ”
Li Li's smile bloomed when he heard this, "Okay! The generals can bend and stretch, they are the good men of my Dahuan, and we will be exiled to the territory together one day and make contributions to the country! Saying that, he walked down the hall, personally helped Tai Chu loosen his ties, held his shoulder with one hand, and said to the generals: "I hope that the adults and the generals can appease the soldiers under them, Li Li has prepared wine and food, and I will be shocked by you!" ”
Subsequently, the generals of the Yuan clan returned to their respective camps accompanied by the Jiangzhou soldiers, and appeased the feelings of the soldiers, for ordinary soldiers, they only knew how to obey the orders of Shangfeng, and there were not too many political entanglements, since they were already surrounded by the Jiangzhou soldiers, it was the most important thing to return to the imperial court to protect their lives. As a result, peace soon returned to Banzhou City.
Just as the soldiers in Banzhou City were drinking happily, Yuan Zhen and the generals of the Yuan family in Xunyang City were also a little drunk. Gao Chi was already drunk and fell to the ground regardless of his image.
Yuan Zhen, who was drunk, stroked Gao Chi's arm with his hand, Gao Chi opened his eyes slightly, propped himself up, and sat down close to Yuan Zhen.
"General Gao, what kind of wine are you, so mellow?" Yuan Zhen asked lazily.
"General Yuan, although this wine is not well-known, it is the most mellow and delicious, it is Yuzhang's fine wine 'Huaiyue'." Gao Chi leaned on the steps and shook his head.
Yuan Zhen saw that he seemed to be drunk and delirious, he took advantage of the fact that he was still a little sober, he slowly approached Gao Chi, and asked a question that he had been trying to ask in his heart, "General Gao, did you kill Yin Hong?" ”
Gao Chi was stunned when he heard this, although his eyes were foggy, he still heard his question clearly, "Didn't you send someone to kill him?" ”
Yuan Zhen's head tilted, puzzled, he didn't send someone to kill Yin Hong at all, could it be his brother's hand? Or is it the Six Princes of the capital?
He looked at Gao Chi dizzy, it didn't look like he was lying, he also had a headache after thinking about it, he was a general, he didn't want to think about it so much, anyway, Yin Hong's death was a good opportunity for the Yuan family, and it was also a good thing for him Gao Chi. After figuring it out, he continued to drink.
At this time, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, a man dressed as a servant and a woman dressed as a maid were quietly looking at the banquet in the front hall.
"I said that your medicine is not good, why is it still so big?" The woman asked anxiously.
The man chuckled, "Do you doubt me, or do you doubt Master?" ”
The woman gave him a blank look, "You are not good at learning your own arts, don't blame the master!" ”
The man shook his head helplessly, "It will work immediately!" ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Yuan family generals in the hall to faint to the ground, and Yuan Zhen had already been lying on the desk, drowsy. Seeing this, the man walked into the hall from behind, opened the cap of a small bottle, and shook the vial lightly in front of Gao Chi's nose, but after a while, Gao Chi came to his senses.
He got up and looked at Yuan Zhen, who was sleeping on his side, and then ordered the hidden soldiers to tie up Yuan's generals. Gao Chi did not forget to take back the handsome seal of Jiangzhou Thorn History, and at the same time searched out the seals and talismans on Yuan Zhen's body.
After dealing with the situation in the general's mansion, he instructed Tian Zigeng and Wei Chihun to take Yuan Zhen's seal letter to the Yuan family's personal soldiers in the city to take care of the army. And he took Yuan's talisman to the Lingheng military camp outside the city.
At the same time, the other two armies also quietly surrounded the Yuan army stationed outside Xunyang City.
Gao Chi has been thinking along the way, how can he surrender without a fight? He didn't have to worry about Tai Chu in Banzhou, Tai Chu was reluctant to start a civil war, but Ling Heng was different, Ling Heng was Yuan Zhen's cronies, and he had always been deeply trusted by Yuan Zhen, so it was not easy to convince him.
He touched his waist and took out the bag inside, a total of three tips from Beijing, the first is "throwing bricks and attracting jade", the second is "capturing thieves and capturing kings", and this one in front of him is the last bag.
