Chapter 490: Killing Wang Wendu
Just when the killing was becoming more and more intense on the high platform, the soldiers in the audience saw the crown prince's honor guard coming this way.
The Huangluo umbrella cover and the dragon and phoenix flags fluttered in the wind, and the guards of the East Palace dressed in bright light armor shone brightly under the rising sun, taking advantage of them like heavenly soldiers and generals.
Li Chengqian, surrounded by a group of East Palace guards, came to the school like a god descending from heaven.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
……
The soldiers on the school field saw Li Chengqian arrive at the mountain and saluted.
Li Chengqian came to the high platform, and Liu Kui came out and said loudly to the soldiers in the school field: "The generals are flat." ”
The battle also stopped on the high platform, and Cheng Wuting turned to Li Chengqian and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, Wang Wenye has entrusted His Majesty's will and wants to do something irregular, and the minister is about to take it down." ”
Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Wendu didn't care, and directly stepped forward and said with a sacred and inviolable face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here with His Majesty's will, and since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here, the minister will read it here." ”
Li Chengqian looked at Wang Wendu, with a sneer on his face, and said directly: "Wang Wendu, you are a good bold son, but you also pretended to pass the holy decree in front of the lonely king and took it!" ”
Wang Wendu's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, what he took was a real holy decree, why did Li Chengqian say it was fake without even looking at it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is taking the true holy decree......"
Before Wang Wendu finished speaking, he saw Cheng Wuting pounce on him again with the guards of the East Palace, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated and retreated to the guards he brought.
Wang Wendu took out the holy decree while retreating, and said loudly to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you see that this is a holy decree. ”
Li Chengqian saw that Wang Wendu was still arrested at this time, and ordered ruthlessly in his heart: "Wang Wenzhi will pass on the holy decree, and he will be killed." ”
Next to him, Xue Rengui had already prepared a bow and arrows, and when he heard this, he directly opened his bow and shot arrows, and only one arrow hit Wang Wendu's throat.
Wang Wendu couldn't believe it until he died, Li Chengqian dared to order him to be shot as a general with a holy finger in his hand.
Li Chengqian watched with an expressionless face as Wang Wendu was shot, and watched as the people who came with Wang Wendu either knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, or were killed by Cheng Wuting.
It was not until the battle on the high platform was over and the corpses were cleaned up that Li Chengqian slowly walked up to the high platform with the support of Liu Kui.
Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the soldiers below with expressionless faces, and all the soldiers lowered their heads when they saw Li Chengqian's eyes.
In the end, Li Chengqian glanced at Liang Jianfang, and Liang Jianfang saw that he quickly knelt down on his knees and said, "The minister is guilty." ”
"What's the crime?"
Liang Jianfang was even more frightened when he heard this, he knew that Li Chengqian was forcing him to stand in line.
At this time, even a fool knew that there was no room for relaxation between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin.
Today he let Wang Wendu in and helped him gather soldiers, which has offended Li Chengqian, and it stands to reason that he should continue to stand in line with Li Shimin.
But looking at Li Chengqian's indifferent look, and then looking at the murderous Xue Rengui and Cheng Wuting......
"The minister was stupid, and he fell for Wang Wendu, thinking that he was holding a true holy decree, but who knew that it was fake, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the crime."
Liang Jianfang is not stupid and doesn't want to die now.
Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed and looked at Liang Jianfang, until Liang Jianfang's forehead was sweating, and he said slowly: "Liang Jianfang, since you know the crime and caused a big disaster, the lonely king will spare you for the time being, but you can't be the commander of the first army anymore, and hand over the army to Xue Rengui to lead." ”
"Obey the order!"
Liang Jianfang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, these 50,000 troops were all landed people recruited by Li Chengqian in Hebei Province, and they were absolutely loyal to Li Chengqian.
It is better to hand over the military power to reassure Li Chengqian, and his head will be more stable.
Li Chengqian, who had disposed of Liang Jianfang, looked at the soldiers below again, and said lightly: "From today onwards, all the soldiers in the camp will be under the command of Xue Rengui, can you hear clearly?"
The guards of the East Palace, standing behind Li Chengqian, repeated loudly several times with their throats pulled, and the sound came from afar, echoing continuously in the shaking valley.
Listening to the ears of the soldiers below, it was like a heavenly sound, and all the generals bowed down and saluted: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Li Chengqian motioned for Xue Rengui to stay and reorganize the army, and slowly returned to the Chinese army's big tent with the guard of honor.
Li Chengqian returned to the Chinese army tent to retire from the idle people, leaving only Cheng Wuting Shangguanyi and Liu Kui, and Cheng Wuting took out Wang Wendu's holy decree and presented it to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian saw that it was the will to order him to return to Chang'an, Li Chengqian put the holy decree in his hand, and showed Cheng Wuting and Shangguan Yi to take a look.
Cheng Wu hurriedly picked up the holy decree and looked at it, and said in a lost voice: "It's not an edict to abolish the prince." ”
"Uh-huh——?" Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Wuting suspiciously.
Cheng Wuting knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly smiled bitterly and saluted Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian did not relent: "What crime does the lonely king have to be abolished?"
Cheng Wu was very busy and said: "The minister is just worried that His Majesty will be deceived by the demon road and descend to a chaotic life, so he desperately did not let Wang Wendu announce the decree in the school field." ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Wang Wendu does harbor evil intentions, but with his intelligence, such an idea should have been given to him by others." ”
Shangguan Yi looked at the holy decree and said solemnly: "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has killed Wang Wendu, the crime is not small?"
Li Chengqian also nodded with a condensed expression and said, "Yes, I gave the eldest grandson Wuji an excuse." Speaking of this, he paused and said: "But the general will not be affected by the life of the king outside, let alone the lonely king?" Now, as long as you take Buyeo City as soon as possible, and then join Pyongyang City, the great disaster will be gone. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, are we still going to Buyeo City today?" Cheng Wuting remembered that yesterday Li Chengqian planned to personally go to the outside of Fuyu City today to explore the terrain.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "There is no time now." ”
Cheng Wuting was stunned when he heard this, and asked humbly: "Then how to capture Fuyu City?"
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Last night, the Lone King thought about it and decided to directly transfer the young men of the Khitan and Xi tribes to dig up the earthen wall of Fuyu City directly. ”
Li Chengqian attacked all the way, and all the captives were moved by him to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty to work as coolies.
Only the Khitan and Xi tribes sent envoys to pay tribute as soon as Li Chengqian arrived in Youzhou to help the Tang Dynasty contain the Yan tribe and build the Yan capital.
Therefore, it was kept on the grassland in the north of Yandu, and now in addition to the city of Buyeo, there are only ordinary people in the Khitan and Xi tribes a few hundred miles away.
Shangguan Yi listened and thought for a moment and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although the Khitan and Xi tribes are not of great use in the northwest, if there is a disturbance in the northwest, they can resist it for a while. ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "In the past, King Gu also thought so, but now that the destruction of Goguryeo is imminent, and the court is unstable, I can only transfer the two Qingzhuang first." ”
Shangguan Yi was speechless when he heard it, originally Li Chengqian planned to have a full-scale decisive battle with Goguryeo in the summer, and the Yuangai Su Wenyuan in such a Buyeo city was also consumed.
However, now because of the instability between the DPRK and China, it is impossible to fight a decisive battle in advance without taking risks.
After making a plan, Shangguan Yi immediately went out to prepare the documents and the messenger sent to the grassland.
Li Chengqian summoned the generals of the battalion to discuss a detailed siege plan.
