Chapter 616: Dingxuzhou
"Father, something is wrong."
Early in the morning, Zhu Youwen hurriedly ran into the palace, looking panicked.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing the report of the chamberlain, Zhu Wen got up from Zhu Youwen's wife's bed, but was woken up early in the morning, and Zhu Wen was also a little angry.
"Father, Yougong is about to rebel," Zhu Youwen knelt on the ground and cried.
"What the hell is going on"
"Returning to my father, my father sent someone to get Yougong back, but Yougong delayed for many reasons, and Yougong's palace is still closed.
It is said that Princess Ji has not seen anyone for two days, and the father of the front foot sent someone to transfer friends to return to Beijing, and the back foot Princess Ji disappeared. There's a deception in it."
"What kind of rebel really dares to betray King Chengbo, you take someone to the Ji Wangfu and seal the Ji Wangfu"
Zhu Wen, who was angry, didn't think about it, let alone convene his henchmen to discuss, so he asked Zhu Youwen to seal the Ji Palace.
Zhu Youwen naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and directly took people to the Jiwang Mansion.
In fact, Princess Ji has been staying in the palace for the past two days, but it was only because Zhu Wen was suspicious of Zhu Yougong that Princess Ji asked people to close the door of the mansion and refuse visitors.
Who would have thought that this reason would become an excuse for Zhu Youwen to frame Zhu Yougong.
Zhu Wen, who was angry, did not go to investigate, and Zhu Youwen naturally did not investigate carefully.
Because Princess Ji hadn't gotten up when Zhu Youwen went, she was a little disheveled when she came out to greet her.
Seeing Princess Ji's beauty and figure, Zhu Youwen swallowed his saliva.
directly ordered the arrest of the people of the Ji Palace, killed Zhu Yougong's children, and then raped Princess Ji.
In order to ensure that the news was not known to Zhu Wen, Zhu Youwen directly killed Princess Ji, came to kill people, and then said that Princess Ji committed suicide in fear of crime.
After learning that Princess Ji committed suicide, Zhu Wen regretted it a little, but it had happened, and Zhu Wen could only let people block the news, and then bring Zhu Yougong back without moving.
The ministers of the court and the central government did not react, and when they got up early in the morning, they learned that Zhu Youwen, the king of Bo, had been ordered to seal the Ji Palace, and then the entire Ji Palaces were killed.
Jing Xiang was undoubtedly the most shocked, he didn't understand that he was fine yesterday, why the Ji Wangfu was gone today.
Zhu Wen blocked the news, but can this news be blocked?
Not to mention the existence of Jinyiwei, and Zhu Yougong also has cronies in Bianzhou, so he will naturally try his best to pass on the news.
"Princess... Princess... Zhu Wen, you are so ruthless"
Knowing that his palace was ordered by Zhu Wen to be wiped out, Zhu Yougong cried in the Jiedu Embassy's mansion, he didn't expect that because of his indecision, his wife and children all died tragically.
"Your Highness, Zhu Wen is so ruthless, he must have sent someone to arrest His Highness, His Highness must make a decision as soon as possible" The staff hurriedly persuaded.
"Zhu Wen, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust" Zhu Yougong gritted his teeth and said, "Someone is coming"
"The Lower Officials Are In"
"Go and negotiate with the imperial court, as long as they are willing to let this king continue to serve as the envoy of the Wuning Army, this king is willing to submit to the imperial court." Zhu Yougong finally made up his mind.
Due to the inconvenience of contact, in order to pacify Xuzhou, Cui Anqian agreed to Zhu Yougong's request without reporting to Zheng Congyan and the imperial court.
It's just a Wuning military festival envoy, if it can be exchanged for the pacification of the pseudo-Liang, I believe that the saint will also agree.
Xuzhou must be, and the situation in Bianzhou is even more severe.
Because the elite troops in Songzhou, Bozhou and other places were all transferred to defend Bianzhou, the troops of the two states were weak.
And the tens of thousands of troops in the important town of Xuzhou switched to the Tang army, which was tantamount to greatly increasing the strength of the Tang army.
Seeing that the situation was out of control because he listened to slander, Zhu Wen couldn't wait to kill Zhu Youwen, if it weren't for the persuasion of Zhu Youwen's wife and a group of civil and military officials, Zhu Youwen might really die.
However, as soon as this incident came out, Zhu Wen was also disappointed in Zhu Youwen, and directly removed him from all his positions, and was placed under house arrest in the palace and could not leave the palace casually.
Worry about what's coming.
Just when the war was very unfavorable to the puppet Liang, Pang Shigu was defeated and died in Weibo, and more than half of the Liang army surrendered directly to the Tang army.
It can be said that the pseudo-Liang was defeated on all four fronts, and the elite lost most of it, and it was not easy to turn the tables only by relying on the armies of Bianzhou and other places.
Subsequently, Liu Kui directly led the army into Tianping, and the Yunzhou and Puzhou assassins appointed by the pseudo-Liang successively opened the city and surrendered.
。。。。。。
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the pacification of the traitor Zhu Wen is just around the corner."
Chang'an, Daming Palace, Li Ye was in a good mood during this time.
The succession of good news has made him numb, and the court has finally survived the most difficult time.
As Pei Rong said, it is indeed gratifying.
"Yes, yes, I was not disappointed." Li Ye laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty, at this time, should we consider the defeat of Pang Shigu in Hexi, Zhu Yougong's surrender, and now the elite of the pseudo-Liang is in mourning, and hundreds of thousands of troops continue to be on the front line, and the consumption of grain and grass is extremely high." Li Sizhou stood up and suggested.
It's not that Li Sizhou deliberately poured cold water, but the situation in Hexi is indeed not optimistic.
Don't pacify Zhu Wen at that time, but lose Hexi, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.
"What King Qin said makes sense," Li Ye nodded, "But it will take a lot of time to go to Hexi for reinforcements by moving to the west of the country."
How many cavalry can be drawn from the front at the moment"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Right Shence Army should be able to transfer 8,000 people, the Left Tiance Army 7,000, the Right Tiance Army 7,000, the Lingwu 5,000 people, the Xia Sui and Tiande Coalition Army 10,000 people, the Left Shenwu Army 7,000 people, the Right Shenwu Army 10,000 people, and the Left Shenwei Army 6,000 people." Pei Rong replied.
"Spread my will, give Zheng Congyan an order, let the cavalry of the Right Tiance Army, the Right Shence Army, and the Right Shenwu Army be drawn out, plus the cavalry of Xia Sui, Tiande Coalition Army and Lingwu Army, and Liu Kui, Marquis of Wulan, will serve as the commander of the capital to reinforce Hexi," Li Ye ordered.
"Obey"
The 25,000 cavalry of the forbidden army, plus 15,000 people from the three towns of Lingwu, Xia Sui, and Tiande, and 40,000 cavalry should be able to solve the urgent need in Hexi.
。。。。。。
"I thought that the army of this pseudo-Liang would be like Pang Shigu, Niu Cunjie and others, but I didn't expect that after attacking the south bank of the Yellow River, these pseudo-Liang officials asked to surrender one after another."
Suizhou Yunzhou and Puzhou surrendered one after another, and Huazhou and Caozhou also surrendered. There are some twists and turns in Huazhou, and there are people in the city who are unwilling to surrender, and Xie Yu is.
Finally, some generals in Huazhou City, seeing that the pseudo-Liang was already in decline, Kaecheng surrendered.
And Xie Yu finally committed suicide
Gu Yanlang said flatteringly, "The puppet Liang Dynasty is unpopular, and now that my Tang army is invincible, the puppet Liang civil and military officials naturally surrendered to my Tang Dynasty." ”
Liu Kui snorted coldly, "It's just a bunch of wall grass." ”。
Although he despised these people's steering, the surrender of these four states also made Liu Kui have a lot less to do.
On the second day after Liu Kui led the army into Huazhou City, the messenger sent by Zheng Congyan arrived in Huazhou City.
