Chapter 193: The Bodhisattva Messes with Chen and Stays Two
"What's the solution?" Liu De hurriedly asked.
"Ambush in the direction of the state capital and knock out the officers and soldiers who came to support!"
Xun Yu affirmed: "Lord, Chen Liunai is a big city, the city is high and deep, the grain and grass water reserves are sufficient, and there is a moat to protect it, and he is not afraid of the long-term siege of the Bodhisattva army, so only by defeating the reinforcements from the state capital can Chen Liucheng be truly deterred and force them to surrender." ”
"What Mr. said is very true, so in this case, let's enter the city first, and then talk about it when we see Chen Liutaishou!" Liu De nodded.
"Yes!"
......
"Who is under the city? Get out of here, or we'll let the arrows go!" ”
Chen Liucheng's head guard saw Liu De and his party coming, although more than 30 people were riding tall horses and complete armor, but there were two carriages behind, so the guard general thought that they wanted to enter the city, so he threatened.
Dai Zong got Liu De's order, held a white flag in his hand, came to the city, and shouted loudly: "I am the captain under the command of General Anbei of the Great Zhou, General Anbei is here, wait for the quick report!" In the other hand, he held the seal of General Anbei.
"General Anbei? Da Zhou now has General Anbei? The city guard was puzzled, but he didn't dare to slack off, and shouted at Dai Zong: "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform the county captain!" After shouting, he hurried down the city.
Chen Liucheng, government office.
"No, Captain Zheng, I don't agree with you! Now that Taishou has been captured, the first thing is to rescue Xiang Taishou, a small demon Dao will be changed if it is changed, otherwise they will be forced to be in a hurry, Xiang Taishou will have to be hurt a little, can you afford this responsibility? An official slapped the case and shouted angrily.
"Master Niu, do you think I don't want to save Lord Taishou? The thief is cunning and changeable, in case of an accident in the process of exchange, Taishou failed to snatch it back, can you take this responsibility? Not to be outdone, Zheng Junwei directly scolded the Niu anchor back in a tough tone!
"You..."The Niu master pointed at Zheng Junwei's nose and wanted to scold.
One of the people behind hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded him in a good voice: "Master Niu, that demon road is obviously a high-level enemy army, otherwise it would not be so prosperous, as long as he is in our hands, the thief will not dare to hurt Lord Taishou, now the Bodhisattva Sect has rebelled, our heralds have also been sent to the state capital, and the army of the state capital will arrive soon, and at that time, the front and back will be attacked, and the inside and outside should be combined, the thief will definitely collapse at the touch of a button, and at that time, Lord Taishou will return safely." ”
Of course, Master Niu could hear what he meant, and he suddenly became angry, and scolded: "[Nie Jing], you are the key Lord Xiang!" ”
The discord between the Taishou and the county lieutenant is well known, and the Taishou went out of the city to inspect the counties a few days ago, which was originally a normal inspection, and the Taishou did not bring too many guards. Unexpectedly, the news that Lord Taishou was captured, Chen Liuchengping for a long time, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers in the county, so he had no choice but to recruit the people in the city and the nearby young people to defend the city, and about 20,000 young people were recruited to participate in the defense of the city, and evacuate the people of the nearby villages. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva army was not strict in discipline and marched slowly, which gave Chen Liu's officials time to arrange the city defenses.
I thought that Lord Taishou had been killed, but I didn't expect the thieves to send soldiers to tell them that they didn't want to attack the city at all, and exchanged Lord Taishou for the demon Dao [Zhang Bin] who was still in prison, but this was beyond everyone's expectations, especially the reaction of Lord County Lieutenant was even more intense.
That's why there was the quarrel just now, Nie Jing didn't want to save Xiang Taishou, and even wanted Lord Taishou to be killed by thieves, so that Zheng Junwei could monopolize Chen Liu's power. even went one step further and took the position of Chen Liutaishou.
How could the Niu Master Book let them get their wish, but unfortunately the strength was weak, and Lord Xiang took most of the cronies in the city with him when he left the city, and now I'm afraid...
There is basically no one to rely on here, Niu Zhushu clenched his fists, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the fourth son of the Li family who was sitting silently on the side.
Li Gongzi is the son of Sima Li Zhen, Li Mansion is deeply rooted in Chenliu, and only Li Gongzi can suppress Zheng Junwei and rescue Lord Taishou, besides, Li Yun and Xiang Taishou are good friends, and Li Sigongzi will not die without help.
Of course, Li Lei saw the eyes of the Niu master, and sighed lightly, now the four men of the Li Mansion, the Han Mansion, the Ding Mansion, and the Su Mansion have all followed their brothers to Lingzhou, and now they are the only ones left in charge of the overall situation, but unfortunately they are a little powerless, and Li Lei now knows that it is not easy for his brother.
I didn't want to care about the power between them, but now that the enemy is current, Xiang Taishou is friendly with his brother, and the Li Mansion is inevitably biased towards Xiang Taishou, however, Zheng Junwei also has a backer behind him, and Chen Liubing is in power, although he is the son of Li Zhen, but he is not his father and brother after all, I am afraid that he cannot force Zheng Duwei to give in.
But if Xiang Taishou is not saved, Zheng Junwei will definitely control Chen Liu's power and support the family loyal to him, and at that time, the Li family's interests in Chen Liucheng will be damaged, which is also what Li Lei does not want to see.
Li Lei stood up, bowed his hand to everyone, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the kid is polite here, I think that Lord Taishou should be replaced back, Lord Taishou is an important minister of the court, if he is killed by a thief, wouldn't it be a shame for the court?" When the court blames it, I'm afraid everyone sitting here won't be able to get out of it. ”
"I very much agree with Li Gongzi's suggestion, Lord Xiang has served as Chen Liutaishou for several years, which is quite popular with the people, if the Taishou can be replaced, it will definitely make the people in the city stable and excited!" The cow master also added on the side.
The other officials sitting in the hall also talked a lot, whispering to each other, and Zheng Junwei sat on the main seat, his face was pale, quite unswerving.
"Report!"
The city gate guard came to the lobby and said to Lieutenant Zheng: "Lord Qiyu, there is a person outside the West City who is called General Anbei, and now he is outside the city, and the last general does not dare to call the shots, please show me!" ”
Lieutenant Zheng stood up abruptly and muttered, "General Anbei..."
"General Anbei, could it be Liu De, the Anbei general who killed Cao Sui!" An official exclaimed.
"It's him!" Other officials also exclaimed, after all, the incident of killing Cao Sui was too appalling, when Cao Sui's power was at its peak, Li Zhen and Chen He couldn't fight together, but Cao Sui, who was so strong, was killed by Liu De!
Liu De came out of the capital division, and the speed was not fast, so the messengers of the imperial court had already quickly passed the news to Chenliu, and with the passage of time, it was transmitted to all parts of the Great Zhou.
The edict clearly stated that Cao Sui was a traitor who attempted to mutiny, so he was killed, and Cao Sui's other cronies were also killed. However, the edict also pardoned local officials who were implicated in Cao Sui, after all, the implication was too wide, and the control of the Great Zhou court over other states was getting weaker and weaker, and if they had to be held responsible, they were afraid of cholera.
Besides, basically the local officials are all children of the big family, and the roots are intricate, and Ji Yuanwu can kill Cao Sui is already secretly happy, so Ji Yuanwu can only pinch his nose and basically pardon the local officials, and what is not pardoned is only a symbolic fine for three years, for the officials, the fine for three years is not painful at all, who really lives on the money.
However, Ji Yuanwu could never pardon Cao Sui's clan, except for sending Huangfu Yi to guard [Ganping], guarding against Xizhou Prefecture Pastor [Cao Zhuo], and then ordering the dispatch of Kuaima to send an order to Dongzhou Prefecture Pastor to arrest all the Cao clan and escort them to the capital to be executed.
