Volume 1 Through the Tang Dynasty Chapter 67 Shuaifu
After learning the news of Tan Ruyi's rebellion, Wan Guojun immediately sent the mutiny chapter back to Luoyang with an expedited 800 li. The reason why he reacted so quickly was not because he was worried about the country and the people.
Tan Ruyi threatened to wash Panzhou with blood and sacrifice his head to the flag, which is not a joke. With the current strength of Panzhou, it is simply impossible to stop the attack of nearly 10,000 rebels. Only when the imperial army comes over, will Wan Guojun feel truly safe.
Wu Zetian's style has always been vigorous and resolute, and after receiving Wan Guojun's report, he immediately issued an order, and sent two prefectures to attack the troops in Jiangnan Province and Jiannan Province, totaling more than 5,000 people, and appointed Li Qianli, the assassin of Weizhou, as the Lingnan envoy, and led troops to Panzhou to quell the rebellion on the same day.
Li Qianli is the eldest son of Li Keyan, the king of Wu, and his original name is Li Ren. After Li Ke died in the rebellion case, Li Qianli was convicted and exiled to Lingnan.
During the Guangzhai period, Li Qianli was pardoned by Wu Zetian and successively served as the assassin of the five states.
Li Qianli was an official and honest and honest, Wu Zetian heard about it, so he sent someone to send him six words "son, my family is a thousand miles of horses", so he changed his name to Li Qianli, and often entered Xiangrui to please Wu Zetian.
The position of the crusade envoy was placed in the first year of Tang Zhen, and was temporarily set up in wartime, often concurrently served by ministers, generals or local military and political chiefs, and was abolished afterwards.
The reason why Wu Zetian ordered Li Qianli to be the envoy was because he was very familiar with the situation in Lingnan.
Just when Li Qianli led his troops to Panzhou quickly, Wan Guojun also received Wu Zetian's holy decree, and he was appointed as the supervisor of Li Qianli's army.
On behalf of the imperial court, the supervising army assists in military affairs, supervises the generals, and has the right to take life and death. Wan Guojun is the superintendent of the imperial history and the superintendent of the army, which fully demonstrates Wu Zetian's trust in him.
After Li Qianli arrived in Panzhou, Feng Junheng vacated the Assassin's Mansion as Li Qianli's marshal mansion. Wan Guojun and Wei Xuzhong also moved from the post house to the Shuaifu to officially perform the duties of supervising the army.
The imperial court sent an elite army to quell the rebellion and deal with a group of rabble, and everyone thought that in a few days, the rebels would be completely wiped out, but the truth was beyond people's expectations.
The counterinsurgency army entered the area of Qilin Mountain to search, but did not find a single rebel. At night, the army camped, and the rebels appeared like ghosts, and the camp was disturbed by small groups of rebels from time to time, and it was impossible to prevent it.
After a few days, the Tang soldiers did not even see any trace of the rebels, but they lost 100 people one after another.
It was only at this time that Li Qianli and Wan Guojun realized that this counterinsurgency was far from being as simple as they imagined.
……
At the end of the street corner, Lu Xiaoxian silently looked at the familiar place. Time has passed, a few days ago it was still the Panzhou Thorn Mansion, but now it has become the marshal's mansion for the attacker.
In front of the gate of the Shuaifu, more than a dozen soldiers with halberds did not squint, standing on both sides of the gate like nails, which added a bit of solemnity to the Shuaifu.
Lu Xiaoxian's eyes were a little more cold and mature than before.
Fate looks down on those who succumb to it the most, and of course Lu Xiaoxian will not succumb to fate. No one can defeat him, unless he wants to fall to the ground himself!
These days, Lu Xiaoxian has not mentioned the green kite again.
I don't mention it because I have forgotten it, but because I remember it in the deepest part of my heart.
Xie Yunxuan was right, he still had a lot of things to do, and what he was thinking about the most at the moment was how to take revenge on Tan Ruyi.
Talking about a person like Ruyi, he is not even as good as garbage, he is not worthy of living in this world. Lu Xiaoxian secretly swore that he must let Tan Ruyi live rather than die.
Lu Xiaoxian took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the gate of the Shuai's Mansion.
Lu Xiaoxian got closer and closer, and the guards in front of the Shuai Mansion noticed something was wrong, and they all raised the weapons in their hands to their chests and stared at him vigilantly.
The captain on duty shouted: "Stop, the idlers wait to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they will be killed!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian stopped, took the worship sticker that had been prepared in his hand, and saluted the lieutenant from afar: "Please inform the general of Li to attack the envoy, and Lu Xiaoxian will come to visit after the deceased!" This is a greeting post, please take a look at it! ”
With a wave of his hand, one of the guards came and took the post away.
The lieutenant took the post, and after reading it, he looked at Lu Xiaoxian suspiciously, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether he should report it or not.
Lu Xiaoxian knew what he was thinking, and said lightly: "Li has been fighting for a bad time recently, and I have come to offer advice, it will not be good if I delay the big thing!" ”
The counterinsurgency army worked in vain, of course the captain knew, and when he heard Lu Xiaoxian say this, he didn't dare to slack off, he asked Lu Xiaoxian to wait outside the door, and hurriedly went in to report.
In the flower hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Li Qianli, Wan Guojun, Feng Junheng and Wei Xuzhong were deliberating.
Although Li Qianli was appointed as a crusader, before leading the troops this time, he had been a assassin and was not good at marching and fighting.
Before he came to Panzhou, he was full of ambition, thinking that the 5,000 government soldiers would be able to deal with the rabble of rebels. Who knew that after actually using the soldiers, he found that he was gnawing a hard bone.
He was at a loss for the rebels' elusive attack tactics.
If you don't want to find a way to completely quell the rebellion and report to the imperial court, it will really annoy Wu Zetian, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
When he thought of the hard days of exile in Panzhou, Li Qianli shuddered. No, he must not follow in his footsteps.
Wan Guojun's life is not easy either.
Li Qianli doesn't understand military affairs, how can Wan Guojun understand military affairs, and now that the war is in a stalemate, of course he has to take responsibility as a prison army. Wan Guojun forced Ruyi to talk about Ruyi, and the court did not pursue responsibility, but this does not mean that the matter is over. If Tan Ruyi is allowed to sit on the throne, one day His Majesty will settle the new and old accounts together, and he will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat.
As a cool official, Wan Guojun has offended too many people, and if he really wants to become a water dog, I am afraid that the people who fall into the well will not be one or two.
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the top priority is to exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, only in this way can he get out of the current predicament.
But how can it be so easy to counter the rebellion?
hopes to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, as well as Feng Junheng.
After Li Qianli led the army to Panzhou, Feng Junheng not only took the initiative to vacate the Assassin's Mansion as a crusade commander's mansion, but also spared no effort in the process of countering the rebellion, providing the army with a large number of logistical baggage and civilian horses.
The longer the counterinsurgency dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Feng Junheng. Once the imperial historians of the imperial court talk about him, they can't tell if they have a mouth.
In contrast, Wei Xuzhong was much more relaxed.
Before coming to Panzhou, Wei Xuzhong also complained about being Wan Guojun's deputy. And now, he felt that Lai Junchen's arrangement was simply wonderful. Wan Guojun is responsible for the mess up, and if he succeeds in the end, the credit will naturally be indispensable to him, and this situation of drought and flood to ensure harvest makes him very satisfied.
Looking at the three people with sad faces in front of him, Wei Xuzhong's face showed a relaxed smile.
Wan Guojun coughed lightly and asked, "Lord Li, what do you think we should do next?" ”
"What's next!" Li Qianli replied slowly, "Let me think about it again!" ”
Listening to Li Qianli's words, Wei Xuzhong almost lost his joy. What to think about, if it doesn't work, it won't work, see how long you can install?
Wan Guojun was about to open his mouth to ask again, when he suddenly heard the sergeant's report from outside the door: "Dashuai, there is a person named Lu Xiaoxian outside the Shuai's mansion, who came to meet Dashuai with a post, and he claimed to be the old man of Dashuai!" ”
"Lu Xiaoxian? After the deceased? ”
Li Qianli thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of such an old man.
However, Feng Junheng and Wei Xuzhong couldn't help but move when they heard the words "Lu Xiaoxian": Could it be that he is here?
Li Qianli was worried about the extermination of the rebels, and after seeing any old people, he said impatiently: "Go, go, go, don't see!" ”
"Dashuai, he said that he came all the way to offer advice for the counterinsurgency!" The sergeant outside the door added.
"Contributing to the counterinsurgency?" Several people were stunned when they heard this.
Then, Wan Guojun and Li Qianli said in unison: "Quick! Fast! Let him in! ”
People who are about to drown, when they encounter a life-saving straw, will desperately grab it in their hands. There is no doubt that Wan Guojun and Li Qianli are in this state of mind at this time. Even if a dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, it is better than being helpless here and in a hurry.
