After purging the soldiers and horses and counting the casualties, there were many large and small tents in the open space in the south of Guancheng County, and the 60,000 elites of the Beijing division brought by Li Jing were able to set up camp.

After meeting with the generals of the various armies, Tie Dan walked in, bowed down and said: "Chief, the kid was just on the fairy lamp, observing the situation in the city with a telescope, and found that the city gates on three sides were heavily guarded, and there were still some old people and children in the defenders in the south of the city, and they were all arrested by the Cui family to guard the city!" ”

Li Jing frowned, and said with some annoyance: "Cui Junqiu, this old thing!" Does he want the people of the whole city to accompany his Cui family to the funeral? How unreasonable! ”

At this time, his mind couldn't help but recall what Cui Junsui said to Niu Jinda on the city tower in the afternoon: "Niu Jinda, let me Cui Junsui surrender, impossible!" Now there are more than 200,000 troops in the city, if you and Manager Li want to attack the city, then come! ”

Now it seems that Cui Junqiu not only wants these hundreds of thousands of new soldiers to accompany him to the funeral, but even wants the people of the whole city to be cannon fodder for him, which is simply heartbroken!

"Hmmm! I know all this! Tiedan, you have been traveling day and night all the way, so rest early! ”

Tie Dan's grandfather and Li Jing are cousins, so strictly speaking, Tie Dan also has to call Li Jing an uncle, with this level of kinship, Li Jing is quite kind to Tie Dan.

"Yes!"

Tie Dan hugged his fists and left.

In the big tent, Li Jing closed his eyes and concentrated, opened his eyes after a while, picked up the pen and prepared the situation here into a letter, and then called Meng Wenhao and said: "Meng Wenhao, send this letter and telegram to Chang'an City~!" ”

Now Meng Wenhao and Tie Dan have become the most important core figures in the entire army, they are in charge of the communication between the army and the outside, and this rescue of Guancheng relies on the unparalleled information transmission speed of the telegraph!

Li Jing has fought all his life, but he has never been so comfortable as this time, and he grasped first-hand information at the first time, allowing him to calmly make various tactical arrangements to deal with changes in the battlefield situation, which is more efficient and useful than strategizing!

He had secretly made up his mind in his heart, after returning to the court this time, he would definitely suggest that Li Er vigorously build a telegraph, with this thing, it would not be too convenient to fight in the future!

Just imagine, if a large army, each battalion has a telegraph machine, can timely send their respective positions and enemy troop deployment to the Chinese army's big tent, then he can receive the news at the first time, formulate a strategy, and send combat orders to the front line!

In such a war, Li Jing felt that it was impossible to lose at all!

Intelligence is so crucial to the course of the war!

"Yes! Boss! ”

Meng Wenhao hugged his fists and was about to turn around and leave, when Li Jing stopped him again and said, "Wenhao, you can contact Xiao Yu'er again by the way, and ask her how the situation is in the city?" ”

"Whoa!"

……………………………

"Drip~Drip~!"

A series of long codes were transmitted to Chang'an City, and the little fat man Li Tai was busy recording the code, and he was very busy!

In the same situation as him, outside Chang'an City, there is also a person who is busy receiving codes, Li Zexuan of Yunshan Courtyard.

Since the army set out that day, Li Zexuan handed over all the remaining two telegraphs, he made a few more telegraphs, because he now knows the code codes used by the imperial court, so in the later period, all the telegrams sent by Meng Wenhao to the imperial court, Li Zexuan also received a copy!

It is based on this that in the past few days, although Li Zexuan has never been down to Yunshan, he knows the situation on the front line well!

It's just that if he does this, it can be regarded as stealing the military secrets of the imperial court, then only God knows!

"Lady, you go and tell your grandmother and grandfather, the court is in charge of the city, and Fashan is not in danger for the time being, so don't worry about the two elders~!"

After transcribing the code, Li Zexuan quickly translated it, and after reading the information, he found Han Yuxi and said softly.

"Uh-huh!"

Han Yuxi nodded, then she hesitated for a moment and asked, "That Xianggong, is Tie Dan Tie Dan okay over there?" ”

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the iron egg is safe and sound, and this time he and Meng Wenhao have also made a lot of contributions, and after coming back, Your Majesty will definitely have a reward!" ”

Han Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay!" That's my grandfather, I'm going to find my grandfather and grandmother! ”

"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”

Seeing Han Yuxi go out, the smile on the corner of Li Zexuan's mouth disappeared, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he only heard him mutter: "Cui Junxuan, I didn't expect you old thing to be so vicious, knowing that you would be defeated, but you still use the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people in Zhengzhou to delay time for yourself!" It's a pity that this time, it may not be as you wish~! ”

Palace.

Li Tai sent the information he received to Li Er, and after Li Er read it, he frowned and snorted coldly:

"The old puppet of the Cui family is really vicious!"

The thing that worried him the most still happened, when he learned that the Cui family had an army of 300,000, he was worried that after this battle, the livelihood of Zhengzhou would wither. Now I didn't expect the Cui family to be even more ruthless, and even wanted the old and weak women and children in the city to help defend the city, and gasped twice, Li Er suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Li Tai, and said:

"Qingque, send a telegram to inform Li Jing, let him send two lines of soldiers and horses, go directly to Xingyang and Boling, arrest all the clansmen of Xingyang Zheng and Boling Cui, and exile them directly to Qiongzhou, and all the descendants of the clan will be escorted back to Chang'an~! In addition, all military affairs in Guancheng County will be handled at his discretion, and on the premise of exterminating the rebels, the casualties of the civilian population will be reduced as much as possible~! ”

Li Er said on the side, Li Tai asked the chamberlain below for a pen and paper to record on the side, and at the end, Li Tai arched his hand and said, "Erchen obeys!" Tomorrow, the retainers will go to the pagoda of Xingshan Temple and send information to Mr. Li! ”

Daxingshan Temple was built in the Sui Dynasty during the opening of the emperor, for the first big Buddha temple in Chang'an, the pagoda in the temple stands in a forest, although it is not as high as the tower of Songyue Temple, but it is also a relatively tall building in Chang'an City!

Anyway, now that it's late at night, there is no need to rush the information out, so Li Er nodded and said, "Hmm! Good! Then go back and rest early! ”

"Erchen retires~!"

Li Tai gave up, and Li Er sat on the dragon couch but fell into deep thought.

Although the current victory in the battle of Zhengzhou has been decided, Cui Junqiu's death-facing bite made Lao Li very uncomfortable!

"Your Majesty, Li Junxian asks to see!"

I don't know how long later, an attendant walked in and reported cautiously.

"Oh! Let him in! ”

Li Er came back to his senses and said busily.

After a while, Li Junxian walked in, and was just about to salute, but Li Er waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, why did you come to me so late~?" ”

Li Junxian hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since the army went south to Zhengzhou, a total of forty-two officials who have been sent to supervise by subordinates have wanted to fly pigeons to pass on the book, and report to the Cui family and the Zheng family, and all the letters were intercepted by the hundred horses, and the subordinates came today to ask Your Majesty how to deal with these officials~?" ”

Li Erlao's face darkened, and he said expressionlessly: "Is there a list?" Take it with me! ”

Li Junxian took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Please take a look at Your Majesty~!" ”

"Cui Liang, Cui Cheng, Zheng Shanguang bastard! A bunch of bastards! Eat the king's fortune, but do not worry about the king, but do the thing of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, these people deceive me too much! Tonight, arrest them all and hand them over to Dali Temple, together with the Criminal Department and Yushitai for trial! ”

Looking at the familiar names on the rice paper, the anger in Li Er's heart became stronger and stronger, and finally he broke out as soon as he slapped the dragon case.

Li Junxian's spirit was shocked, and he said solemnly: "The last general will obey the order~!" ”

………………………

Li Er's fluttering words made Chang'an City set off a bloody storm.

That night, the doors of dozens of people's squares were opened by the order of the Hundred Horsemen, and the owners of the forty-two mansions were arrested at the same time almost at the same time, and the screams, begs for mercy, and shouts startled many people who were sleeping, but no one dared to go out to find out!

Because of this point in time, there are only two possibilities for such a big commotion, one is that he has been robbed, and the other is that the court is arresting important criminals, no matter what the situation is, ordinary people cannot afford to provoke them.

Most of the courtiers who heard the news couldn't continue to sleep!

Everyone has a hunch in their hearts, that is, something big is going to happen in Chang'an City~!

……………………………

Guancheng County, East City Gate.

On the castle, a group of recruits is still guarding.

"Brother Ren, I wonder if you are free? Brother, I have something to tell you! ”

Liu Renliang was standing on the city wall and dozing off at this time, saying that this guy was not afraid of falling asleep and falling off the city wall, at this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Huh? Who? Oh, it turned out to be Brother Wang Lang! Are you looking for something with me? ”

Liu Renliang woke up from his dream and saw clearly that it was Wang Lang, the sixth team member who he wanted to turn right and join the gang a few days ago, he hurriedly cheered up and greeted.

"Hmm!"

Wang Lang nodded and whispered, "Brother Ren, can you take a step to speak!" ”

Seeing his mysterious face, Liu Renliang's eyes rolled, how could he disagree, "Of course, of course!" Brother Wang Lang came with a certain ~! ”

After a while, Liu Renliang took Wang Lang to the corner of the wall at the bend of the city, which was relatively remote and would not come under normal circumstances.

"Brother Wang Lang, what's the matter with you? Go ahead! ”

Liu Renliang leaned against the city wall and asked.

Wang Lang looked around, and then whispered: "Brother Ren, do you think that Pan Tingshi and Cui Duwei are getting more and more excessive~?" ”

Liu Renliang was "curious" and said, "Brother Wang Lang, how do you say this?" ”

Wang Lang said with an indignant face: "Brother Ren, don't you know about the big battle in the south of the city today? At first, Cui Duwei's army did have the upper hand, but later Wei Guogong Li Jing and Langya County Bull Jinda led an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and Cui Duwei was directly frightened and fled in a hurry! He fled, but he actually let the brothers of the thirteenth and fourteenth battalions stay behind him, and after the army withdrew to the city, he directly ordered people to close the city gates!

And thousands of brothers in the thirteenth and fourteenth battalions were all locked up outside the city gates! Do you say that he Cui Quan is still a human? In my opinion, he just thinks that the people in the thirteenth and fourteenth battalions are all recruits like us, and he doesn't take us recruits seriously!

What's even more excessive is that as far as I know, now Cui Quan's people have begun to arrest some old and weak women and children to go to the south city gate to defend the city, because in today's battle, most of the recruits who originally guarded the south city gate were killed and wounded, and he lacked manpower! What a brute!

If you want me to see, if the army outside the city attacks the city, our recruits will definitely be the first to die, and we are all dead, Cui Quan will definitely capture the people in the city to defend the city wall! Bah! This turtle grandson is really not a thing~! ”

"Oops! Brother Wang Lang, be quiet, if you let people listen to it, it will be a big trouble~! ”

Liu Renliang was overjoyed when he heard it, but he persuaded him "kindly".

Wang Lang said for a long time, and three points of anger had risen in his heart, and some wanted to break the jar, "Hmph! Listen to it, listen to it! It's a big deal, and if it goes on like this, it will die sooner or later! Although my family does not live in the city, but many relatives of my family are in charge of the city, if one day Cui Quan arrests my relatives on the city wall to defend the city, how do you say I should face them? How much should they hate me~? ”

Liu Renliang glanced at him sympathetically and said, "Brother Wang Lang, you can dissipate your anger first, anger will not solve the problem." In fact, Cui Quan is just a lackey of the Cui family, and the reason why he did this was not ordered by the Cui family? The Cui family is now covering the sky in Guancheng County, although they can't defeat the army outside the city, but it is still easy to deal with the ordinary people below! ”

Wang Lang said angrily: "Hmph! In the past, when I was a child, my father also told me that let me study well, if I can become a guest of the Cui family in the future, it will be glorious to my ancestors, and now it seems that it is thanks to me that I did not study hard at the beginning, otherwise I would have taken refuge in such a dirty place as the Cui family, and it would not be a knife to wipe my neck! ”

When Liu Renliang heard this, he suddenly cried and laughed, and said in his heart: The Cui family is dirty, is that the reason why you don't study well?

"Brother Wang Lang, now we are all pawns under the Cui family, they want us to die, what else can we do?"

Liu Renliang pretended to sigh helplessly and said.

"! Brother Da Niu, I, Wang Lang, respect you as a man, I will tell you something heart-wrenching today, if you go to denounce me after listening to it, then I will admit it! We are now a dead person, rather than dying in the hands of the imperial army in vain, and finally falling into the reputation of an "anti-thief", so that future generations will not be able to raise their heads, it is better to oppose the Cui family together, even if it is dead, the one who died is like a man, how about it? Brother Da Niu, do you dare to rebel with me? ”
