"Shhh~! Brother Wang Lang, be quiet~! Even if you want to rebel against the Cui family, you don't have to be so loud~! ”

On the castle tower in the east of Guancheng County.

Liu Renliang's heart moved, and secretly said that the time was ripe now, he first calmed Wang Lang's emotions, and then whispered: "Brother Wang Lang, I won't tell you, my Ren Da Niu also has a bloody nature, and I have long seen that the Cui family is not pleasing to the eye, but what can I do?" The Cui family has countless soldiers, and with just the two of us, I'm afraid that even Cui Quan, Pan Zhenyue, Cui Junhui and others can't get close, and then they will be killed directly! ”

Wang Lang's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Da Niu, who said that there are only two of us?" In fact, those brothers in our sixth team all want to oppose the Cui family like me, and there are many people in other camps like us, as long as someone raises his arms and shouts, I Wang Lang dares to guarantee that there will definitely be thousands of brothers who are willing to go with him to destroy the Cui family~! ”

Liu Renliang was "surprised" and said, "Oh~? Brother Wang Lang, are you serious? ”

"Naturally, it's serious! Brother Da Niu, you can go to other brigades to inquire and find out~! ”

"Brother Wang Lang, how many people on your side are willing to fight against Cui together?"

Liu Renliang suddenly asked tentatively.

Wang Lang said confidently: "Brother Da Niu, I don't dare to say anything about other teams, but as long as someone takes the lead against the Cui family, the two hundred brothers of our sixth team will definitely be able to follow all of them well!" ”

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, each battalion has five teams, each team leads three groups, each group leads five chiefs, and each team receives ten dings, that is to say, a team is only allowed to have 150 soldiers, and a battalion is 750 soldiers!

But the Cui family recruited too many recruits this time, and there were few officers who could lead the troops, so each battalion and each team was overstaffed, like the ninth battalion, there were nine teams, and each team had more than 200 people!

Liu Renliang laughed and said, "Okay! Brother Wang Lang, since you trust me so much, then I will also give you a bottom today, in fact, I have been planning to oppose the Cui family, because I can't watch my brother go to the funeral of Cui Junqiu's old immortal! I have a plan here that can bring down the Cui family, before that, I contacted other recruits to align, currently plus you, there are a total of eight teams on our side, I want to wait for a little more people, and then launch this plan, then we have a chance to completely break the Cui family into the abyss! ”

When Wang Lang heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Great! That's great! I Wang Lang really didn't see the wrong person~! But what are your plans, big bull brother? Can you tell my little brother~? ”

Liu Renliang shook his head and said, "Brother Wang Lang, I can't believe you, it's just that we don't have enough manpower, even if we say it!" If there are more people, Da Niu will tell you everything, and then we will directly let the Cui family go to hell! ”

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Okay!" Brother Da Niu, don't worry, I have two good friends who are in other battalions, and they are also farmers outside the city like me, and they have long been tired of the Cui family, I will help you contact them, they will definitely be willing to fight against Cui with us! ”

Liu Renliang said happily: "That's great! Brother Wang Lang, after you persuade them, tell me, with the addition of these two teams, the number of people should be almost enough! When we get together, I will tell you the plan, and I will definitely bring down the Cui family in one fell swoop! ”

"Brother Da Niu, then it's decided, as for my two friends, I promise to persuade them before noon tomorrow, and bring them over to meet you when the time comes~!"

"Good!"

The next day, Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

His Royal Highness Taiji, the officials are in the early dynasty.

What is different from the past is that many officials today came to the early court with a worried heart, because they received the news early in the morning that 42 officials were imprisoned last night, from high-ranking officials of the third rank to minor officials of the ninth rank, and there were people from all departments.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a situation where more than 40 officials have been arrested at the same time, which all shows that there will be a big earthquake in the officialdom of Datang!

However, only those who have ghosts in their hearts will be weak-hearted, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were more people who did not have ghosts in their hearts, no, Xiao Yu talked eloquently in the main hall, and reported to Li Er the expenditure of the imperial treasury in the first three months of this year:

"In general, compared with last year, in the first three months of this year, the expenditure of the treasury has increased slightly, and the reason for this is that His Majesty has re-established the mountains and started to build the Yellow River shelterbelt, but these expenses are completely within the scope of the imperial court's affordability."

Li Er listened to Xiao Yu's "Tang Mansion Treasury Work Report" on it expressionlessly, as if yesterday's arrest of a large number of officials had nothing to do with him, and after waiting for a long time, Xiao Yu finally finished speaking, Li Er saw that no one stepped forward to start playing, so he spoke:

"Last night, I received good news, Li Jing and Duan Zhixuan broke the rebels in Zhengzhou, and the 50,000 secret guards, hundreds of masters of the rivers and lakes, and 3,000 dead soldiers hidden by the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan over the years fought with Duan Zhixuan's Xuanjia army, and finally except for a small number of surrenders, the rest were all annihilated!

Li Jing led the soldiers of the three armies to fight fiercely with the Cui family's 150,000 army for half an hour outside Guancheng County at dusk yesterday, beheading 45,000 enemies, and daring the Cui family's army into the city! At present, Cui Junxuan is a turtle in an urn, and he can't turn over the big waves anymore! ”

The hundred officials were slightly shocked in their hearts, first, they were surprised that the Qinghe Cui clan, which claimed to have an army of 300,000 at the beginning, was so unbeaten, and second, the vast majority of officials were a little puzzled, obviously it was the battle situation yesterday afternoon, why did Li Er receive the good news last night?

What is the message? Even the flying pigeon is not so fast!

However, the core ministers of the empire like the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, they all knew that when Li Jing led the army to Zhengzhou, he brought a telegraph, so they definitely would not have this kind of doubt.

"Congratulations to the Holy Lord~!"

Doubts are doubts, but after winning the battle, those who should be congratulated still have to be congratulated, our Second Majesty Li Er doesn't want to lose face?

The civil and military officials arched their hands in unison.

But Li Er's face didn't even have a trace of joy at winning the battle, he just had a cold face and didn't say a word, which made the officials very strange.

"Humph! Congratulate? Indeed, you should congratulate me, for these days I have found forty-two traitorous officials who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and if it had not been for the interception of their carrier pigeons to Zhengzhou, you would have heard the bad news that Luoyang was besieged and about to be captured three days ago! ”

Li Er suddenly stood up and roared angrily.

The entire hall was echoing with his angry roar!

The civil and military officials were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to come out one by one!

"Dewei Lau~!"

After being quiet in the Taiji Hall for a long time, Li Er's cold voice came from above.

"The old minister is here~!"

Liu Dewei, the secretary of Dali Temple, hurriedly stepped forward and gave his hand to answer.

Li Er glanced coldly at the courtiers, then looked at Liu Dewei, and said: "I will hand over all these officials and intercepted letters to you later, and within seven days, you will work with the Criminal Department and Yushitai to try these officials together, and check whether they are in the same party, and after seven days, you will report to me the results of your trial, and then those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be exiled will be exiled!" ”

Liu Dewei's heart sank, and he solemnly arched his hand and said: "Minister, obey the order~!" ”

The officials in the court all had a trace of coldness in their hearts, they knew that Li Er was going to kill on a killing spree!

"I remind some people that you are first officials of the Tang Dynasty, and then you are members of the family! Without Datang, you are nothing~! Hum! Retreat~! ”

Li Er said this coldly, then got up directly and walked away!

Now that the five surnames are Qiwang, he is about to destroy three of them, and he has the confidence to say these words!

The ministers looked at each other, and finally turned into a sigh, and then left the hall one after another, and went to their own business!

..

"Little fish, little fish!"

At noon, in a private house in Wuningfang in the south of Guancheng County, a man facing the vicious took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, jumped directly, climbed over the courtyard wall, and came to the backyard.

"Brother Liu? How did you get back? ”

Xiao Yu'er, who was taking a nap in the attic, heard the shouts below, and hurriedly went downstairs to greet him.

"Shhh~! Be quiet! I snuck out while I was at lunch! Come in and say! ”

Liu Renliang hurriedly whispered.

"Oh! Ok, good, good! ”

Xiao Yu'er answered, and walked into the house with Liu Renliang, and then she said, "Then Brother Liu, you must not have eaten lunch yet, right?" I still have some steamed buns left, why don't you eat some to cushion your stomach first? ”

Liu Renliang waved his hand and said: "It's too late, I can't stay longer, I came back to you today to find you in a hurry, I'll make a long story short, I'll leave after speaking!" ”

Xiao Yu'er hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Mmmm, Brother Liu, you say it, I'll listen!" ”

Liu Renji: "Xiao Yu'er, I have now convinced the ten teams to be positive, and they are all willing to join me in the fight against Cui, and I can use two thousand soldiers and horses!" I'm going to take these men tonight to kill the soldiers guarding the gates, and then open the gates, put the drawbridge, and let the army outside the city in!" So you have to tell the Wei Gong outside the city in advance, let them get ready, and when the time comes, we should work together inside and outside to take the city in one fell swoop! Do you understand? ”

Xiao Yu'er was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! Brother Cui, you are amazing! He was able to muster an army of 2,000 from the rebels! ”

Liu Renliang waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, you quickly send out what I just said, see if Wei Gong and his old man agree, I'll wait here!" Hurry up! ”

"Oh! Ok, good, good! But even if they receive the news, it is estimated that it will take a while to return, Brother Liu, take advantage of this time to eat something! I'm going to go up and send a telegram! ”

Xiao Yu'er said a word, and then went upstairs excitedly!

If this plan succeeds, she will be able to escape from Guancheng and return to Chang'an!

Liu Renliang sat downstairs alone, thinking about what he would do at night, but it took a lot of effort, so he picked up the steamed buns on the table and began to nibble on them!
