Chapter 458: Pei Renji's Death

、、、、、、、、、、

Pei Renji has already understood that he and Pei Ju seem to have no last resort, but they are afraid that they have already been watched by Yumingdong. Many things seem complicated, but they are actually very simple to remember.

The reason why Yuming kept the Shandong Shi clan from doing anything, and even tolerated them to keep meeting and making appointments, and finally launched a mutiny under Pei Ju's planning, I am afraid that it was all foreshadowing. He must have deliberately wanted to lead the Shandong Shi people to rebel, and then wipe out all these potential opponents.

After all, such as their own gang is deeply rooted in the north and has inherited several big families from the previous year, and their influence in Hebei, Hedong, Shandong, Henan and other places is very great. If there is no sufficient reason, if Yuming wants to uproot the Shandong Shi clan, it will inevitably put the world's family members in danger, and the surname in the north will also think that Yuming is a tyrant like Yang Guang.

But if you don't pull out the Shandong Shi clan, these families with a large number of talents and great influence in the people are not their hardcore supporters, and they will make it difficult for Yuming to sleep.

The Shandong Shi clan couldn't wait to overthrow the Yuming regime and seize the power of the Great Zhou.

But Yuming also couldn't wait, and wanted to quickly clear out the Shandong Shi clan who opposed him, so that Da Zhou would become a monolith.

That's why he laid a trap to induce the Shandong Shi clan to rebel.

Yuming waited for them, the Shandong scholars who didn't know how to advance or retreat, to connect with each other, let them make trouble, and then they could become famous and eradicate them in one fell swoop. From now on, there will be no internal troubles inside the Great Zhou, and you can fight outward with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Pei Renji couldn't help but feel a chill rise in his heart, only feeling chills all over his body, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, who was still handsome, with white helmets and white armor, but he felt that he was more scheming than his own master, and he had become a mature and scheming monarch, and he couldn't be underestimated anymore.

Yu Ming looked at Pei Renji with a smile, and he was also a little excited in his heart.

This operation was a trap laid by him and a group of staff, and he planned it. step by step to lure Pei Renji and Yu Cheng and others to take the bait, he really can't wait.

Now Wooaki has established power in the north. But there are many opposition forces in the secret, although they have not explicitly said that they want to deal with him, but they have been secretly contacting in an attempt to subvert the Great Zhou. He was very worried that when he had a decisive battle with Li Yuan, Du Fuwei, Xiao Miao, and others in the future, the domestic opposition forces would make trouble behind his back, and he would probably be defeated.

If you want to dominate the world, there will be internal injustice, not to mention the struggle for domination, and you will be in danger of being subverted at any time. Therefore, when Yuming determined that the Shandong Shi clan was preparing to plot to overthrow him, he not only did not stop it, but instead led them to start an incident.

This battle can be said to be no easier than fighting with Dou Jiande and Li Mi, and it is even more dangerous, but as long as you can win this battle, you can eliminate internal hidden dangers. So that he dared to rest assured and boldly prepared to go south.

Pei Renji's face changed several times, Fang thought of one thing, and said coldly: "Yuming, it is indeed you who have the upper hand right now!" But if you don't count it, you can't count that I have sent the top masters in the famous rivers and lakes to arrest your family. Right now, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiuning, Red Sleeves and others must have fallen into their hands, even if you can kill me and Xingyan, they will be buried with us! ”

After hearing this, Yu Ming pretended to be sad and said: "Pei Renji, listening to you say this, this is indeed a troublesome matter. ”

Seeing this, Pei Renji also said complacently: "Pei Mou and his son have long put life and death aside, and if they want to kill or kill you!" can pull your family to be buried with us, Pei's father is also satisfied! ”

But before the words fell, he only heard the sound of "tom, tom, tom", which made him surprised.

He looked intently ahead, and suddenly his face became ugly. Because I saw Zhang Zhongjian throw his head in front of him, and these five heads belonged to the master of the rivers and lakes he hired with a lot of money.

"You're not going to talk about this man, are you?" Zhang Zhongjian laughed and said, "As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they were shot dead by me, and then their heads were cut off with a knife. So I didn't have time to harass Princess Zhou again. I said Pei Renji, next time you invite a master of the rivers and lakes, you might as well ask me first! I know very well which people in the rivers and lakes have high martial arts and which ones have low martial arts! ”

"What? You're the bearded man in Dust? When Pei Renji heard this, he was also surprised. He had also heard of the name of the bearded guest, and knew that this person was known as the number one master in the world, and it was said that he was the only master in the world who had reached the Tongmai stage, but he didn't expect this person to be recruited by Yuming.

There was a look of despair on his face at the moment.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard shouts of killing outside the city. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.

At this moment, a personal soldier rode a fast horse and rushed in from outside the city, and shouted: "King Zhou, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

"Say! What happened? Yu Ming said lightly.

"A large group of soldiers and horses came to the gate of the West City, numbering more than 10,000. The guards of the West Gate had just opened the gates to let them in, and now the army was coming here! ”

After Pei Renji heard this, he immediately looked overjoyed, and laughed: "Yuming, you didn't count it, did you...... It was Lord Pei Ju's subordinate Yang Gongqing. He led 10,000 elite troops, broke them into pieces, and spent more than a month secretly lurking outside Beiping City under the guise of his surname, and now he is finally ready to go. Although Pei failed, Master Pei Ju still had a clever plan and arranged for General Yang to have a yellow finch behind......"

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Yang Gongqing appear in the city gate, followed by a large number of men and horses wearing variegated clothes, although the clothes were variegated, but the military appearance was very neat, and it was obvious that it was an elite army.

Pei Renji was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "General Yang, I'm here!" Capture Yuming! We also have the ability to turn the tide, let the head of the family hold the power, and let our Shandong Shi clan dominate the north! ”

However, what he never expected was that Yang Gongqing rode in front of Yu Ming, and saluted Yu Ming with a respectful expression: "King Zhou, the last general was fortunate not to be dishonored, and successfully annihilated the dead soldiers sent by Pei Ju and hiding outside the city. The scattered rebels outside the city have also been captured, how to deal with it, please ask King Zhou to decide! ”

After Pei Renji saw this scene, his smile did not receive, and he had already become depressed, and his only hope now was that Yang Gongqing could turn the tide and lead the last sneaking soldiers and horses to rush into Beiping City to save the defeat. But he never expected that Yang Gongqing would be Yuming's person. Now this mutiny has been completely defeated.

Yu Ming listened to the results quietly, then glanced back at Pei Renji, and said with a light smile: "Pei Renji, as early as when Li Mi conquered the Tiger Prison Pass, I heard that General Yang Gongqing had stuck to this pass, and I had a heart of love for talent. So he sent someone to contact General Yang, so General Yang decisively abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. But I didn't expect that Pei Ju thought that General Yang was loyal to him, and actually sent him to Beiping to assist you......"

Pei Renji's heart was like ashes at this time, he finally understood why Yu Ming could count everything in front of him, and his mutiny plan was all hit by the knife.

Although he rebelled against many generals and officials in the Zhou army, they were all low-ranking and could not play a big role. And Yu Mingce turned against Yang Gongqing, but it was enough to be fatal!

With a "bang", Pei Renji pulled out his sword.

In despair, he swung his sword and slashed into his neck, and at the same time shouted wildly, "Okay! Daddy came down to accompany you......"

With a "poof", Pei Renji's body fell to the ground, and blood stained the streets of the long street.

At this time, the sound of "clang, clang" continued one after another. When the rebel soldiers saw that their commanders were dead, they threw down their weapons and shouted, "We surrender!" ”

Yu Ming said to Yang Gongqing at this time: "General Yang, I'll leave it to you here!" Please work with General Luo Cheng to take down all the rebels such as Pei Jin and Lu Zuo, and then put them in prison! The king is also going back to the palace to preside over the overall situation and restore order in the city. ”

"Obey King Zhou's orders!" Yang Gongqing and Luo Cheng hurriedly replied. They knew that from this moment on, Yu Ming could be regarded as covering the sky with one real hand in the Great Zhou.

……

On the fifth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of the Great Cause, a rebellion in Beiping shocked the world, involving tens of thousands of people from the Pei, Lu, Zheng, and Cui families in the Shandong Shi clan, involving as many as more than more than one court officials and army generals. But in the end, within a day and a night, it was pacified by Zhou Jun.

Although the rebellion in Peiping was basically quelled, the rebellion in the surrounding counties continued. However, fortunately, Yuming was already prepared for this, and secretly transferred a large number of troops from Liaodong, Henan, Silla, Ji and other places to suppress it.

And most of these rebel armies were the families of the original Shandong Shi clan, as well as some county soldiers and militia groups that depended on them. Its combat effectiveness and equipment are vastly different from those of the regular Zhou army. Coupled with the huge disparity in command between the officers of the two sides, all the rebel armies were defeated without exception.

The officers and soldiers of the Zhou army were very resentful of these rebel divisions and Shandong scholars who had infiltrated the Great Zhou regime, and they did not leave prisoners in almost every battle.

This mutiny, organized and planned by Pei Ju, carried out by Pei Renji and Pei Xing's father, and cooperated by several major families of the Shandong Shi clan. The scale of its largeness, the number of people involved, and the speed of its defeat can be called the largest rebellion in the Central Plains since the unification of the Sui Dynasty. This rebellion was later referred to in the history books as the "Attempted Rebellion of the Shandong Shi Clan".
