Chapter 432: Besieging Song County
When Cai Wenying and Li Dinghui were happy, at the main altar of the Sanming Immortal Sect in Song County, Li Ping was having a meeting with the other seven heavenly kings.
"Just now, the door came down to report, Li Dinghui went to serve the Virgin again!" Su Zhenjiao reported to several people in a low voice.
"Coke to death this slut who eats inside and out!" Lu Maolian cursed in a low voice.
"Keep staring, don't even think about taking anything away if he's greedy." Chen Ping said coldly.
"Medium!" Su Zhen said busily.
"Old Chen, we have also made a lot of money these days, and we have sent it to the mountains as you said." Another [Liancheng] Heavenly King said.
"Nobody knows, does it?" Chen Ping asked seriously.
"As far as those of us know, the people who send the money are their own children, and they are guaranteed to be reliable." The Heavenly King assured.
"Hmm!"
Chen Ping nodded.
"Will we continue to get money for this city wall?" The Heavenly King asked.
"it! Why don't you get it?" Lu Maolian looked as a matter of course.
That day, when the king heard this, he looked embarrassed and said: "Do you think we will work together to defend Song County, and it will be bad to enter Luoyang to be the founding father of the Immortal Dynasty in the future?"
It turned out that he was fooled by Cai Wenying's words.
Chen Ping's eyes looked gloomily at the Heavenly King, and he warned in a cold voice: "Do you also believe these words of deceitful ghosts?"
Let's just use her power to save more money now, hide and live a good life in the future, don't think about anything else. ”
After Chen Pingping finished speaking, his stern gaze swept over the faces of the other Heavenly Kings, and he was satisfied when he saw that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to meet their gaze.
"Is the wall still being repaired? Ma Jiu, that bastard, can be stared at! Another Heavenly King asked.
"Repair, of course, the longer Our Lady lives, the more money we get." Su Zhen said to him.
"Let's all listen to Elder Chen, if the imperial army comes, we will flee into the mountains. It's a big deal that it won't come out in ten or eight years, anyway, we have money now for the boys to be honored. Another Heavenly King spoke up.
When the Heavenly Kings heard this, they all nodded excitedly in agreement.
-------------------------
Yichuan County Ya.
Li Chengqian looked at the newspapers sent from all over the country and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Through the last confrontation with the Shi clan in Chang'an, Li Chengqian knew that the reason why the Shi clan seemed to be strong was mainly because the local people were looking towards them. Now that this battle between the hearts and minds has been won, the scholars have nothing to fear, and they should really thank Cai Wenying.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Liu Zhongshu came from Luoyang to convey His Majesty's will." A chamberlain came in to give a report.
Li Shimin was very quiet in Luoyang during this time, why did he suddenly send someone to make an order?
Liu Zheng didn't send the news in advance.
Li Chengqian thought so and got up to greet him, and as soon as he walked to the door of the small courtyard, he saw Liu Zheng walk in.
Liu Zheng saw Li Chengqian and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has ordered your ministers to come and give you a message." ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up when he heard this, bowed down and waited for Liu Zheng to announce his words.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty said that this oracle can only be told to His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Zheng hurriedly took a few steps forward and said in a low voice.
"Then go into the house and preach." Li Chengqian said that he should go inside first.
Liu Kui saw Liu Zheng follow him into the house, so he motioned to the guards in the courtyard to stand five steps away from the door, and he was holding the dust three steps away.
"Cheng Qian, when it comes to today, you must personally lead the army to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and you must win the battle in one battle, so that the world will know your military might. Otherwise, everything you have done will not only be in vain, but it may also cause some people to be ambitious. ”
In the room where Li Chengqian worked, Liu Zheng conveyed the message in the tone of Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Liu Zheng when he heard this, and said, "What did Your Majesty say when you came?"
Li Chengqian's side is also preparing to personally recruit Cai Wenying, but he didn't expect Li Shimin's will to come, and it seems that Li Shimin has also been paying attention to the situation in Song County during this time.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, when the minister came, His Majesty also gave Ma Zhongshu an edict, ordering him to arrange for the officials who were there, the officials in Luoyang City and some scholars to come to Yichuan in the next two days, and ordered them to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to quell the rebellion in Song County." Liu Zheng said.
Li Chengqian thought of the will given to him by Li Shimin, which was intended to make him stand up in front of the people of the world.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "King Gu knows, so I will give an order to prepare to send troops to quell the rebellion." ”
Li Chengqian said directly and loudly: "Someone! Ordered Liang Jianfang, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, Xi Junmai, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Gao Jifu to come to see King Gu. ”
"Yes!" Liu Kui outside the door responded.
Li Chengqian waved away Liu Zheng and sat down to think about how to arrange this counterinsurgency later.
After a while, everyone arrived, and they met Li Chengqian in the county government hall.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Flat!" Li Chengqian said.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
"How's the preparations for the destruction of the rebels going?" Li Chengqian asked calmly.
The ministers below were stunned when they heard this, and Li Chengqian did not have unified deployment before the counterinsurgency, and now he was suddenly summoned to ask questions directly, which made people not know how to answer for a while.
Xue Rengui and the others felt that in the recent incidents, Li Chengqian was no longer as straightforward as before, and he seemed indifferent.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Recently, the ministers have been training day and night, and the morale of the officers and men is high.
As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives an order, the minister is willing to lead troops to Song County overnight, and bring Cai Wenying's head to see him tomorrow morning. As the general of the left guard of the East Palace, Liang Jianfang, the general with the highest quality in the audience, was the first to stand up and make a statement.
Li Chengqian's face nodded calmly, facing a group of rabble under Cai Wenying, it was normal for Liang Fangjian to be full of confidence.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, many people in Songxian County are deeply persecuted by Cai Wenying and other traitors, and they are looking forward to the rebellion of Wang Shi day and night, and if the army goes out, they are willing to open the city gate and surrender." Xu Jingzong stood up and said.
This time, the intelligence and rebellion work was done by Xu Jingzong.
Li Chengqian still nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.
The ministers couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this, and they were all thinking that these arrangements were enough to quell the rebellion in Song County, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show a clear attitude?
Seeing that the ministers didn't know why, Li Chengqian's heart was stunned, and he asked calmly: "Li Yifu, how is the rebellious trial in Yichuan County?"
This question made the ministers feel even more confused, why did they ask about these things when they had to fight?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the thieves have been tried clearly, and the minister is leading people to sort out the case files, and it can be submitted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in three days." Li Yifu played.
Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this: "Well, when the army went out on the expedition, they escorted these rebels in a prisoner cart and followed behind the lonely king's chariot, so that they could also see how the lonely king put down the rebellion." ”
When the ministers in the hall heard this, their hearts moved, and they all understood.
Originally, they thought that Li Chengqian was bent on fighting against the Shi clan these days, and he didn't care about quelling the rebellion in Song County, and Li Chengqian would continue to sit in Yichuan.
Now that Li Chengqian said this, he understood it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to recruit in person?" Xu Jingzong confirmed.
"Hmm."
Li Chengqian hummed expressionlessly, and it was confirmed.
Then his expression perked up and he said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order!" Three days later, the Lone King personally marched, Liang Jianfang took 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, Xi Junmai as the deputy general, and the others accompanied the Lone King with the leather chariot. Li Chengqian ordered directly.
"Your Ministers obey!"
The ministers hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Shall you go down and prepare?" Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.
After listening to Li Chengqian's arrangement, all the ministers couldn't help but think carefully, according to Li Chengqian's original principle of acting, this time it was definitely Xue Rengui who was the pioneer to earn credit, and let Liang Jianfang follow him as a spectator.
Although the rebellion in Song County was small, Cai Wenying was both a cult and an imperial court, and there was an essential difference between him and ordinary bandits.
Li Chengqian didn't use Xue Rengui, but reused Liang Jianfang and Xi Jun to buy, could it be that these two people surrendered to Li Chengqian?
Li Chengqian returned to the back hall and thought that if he arranged it like this, Liang Jianfang, Xi Junmai and even Li Shimin might have some ideas, and he was happy in his heart, seeing if Li Shimin would dare to mix sand in the East Palace in the future.
Immediately, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince of the prison state, issued an order: the troops around Song County were moved to the vicinity of Song County to besiege Cai Wenying's rebels.
With Li Chengqian's order, tens of thousands of soldiers stationed around Song County all set off to squeeze Song County, and the small Song County immediately turned into a flat boat in the frenzy of the angry sea.
When Cai Wenying and his gang got the news, they felt that the end of the black cloud cover was coming, some wanted to run away, some wanted to surrender, some wanted to rebel, and so on.
But surrounded by the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, all the activities of the people in Song County were destined to be in vain.
The armies from all walks of life came to the designated place but did not start, only waiting for Li Chengqian's pro-command army to come to quell the rebellion.
