Chapter 148: Hidden Crisis (Three Watches)
Li Ye did not accompany Liu Chenyan and other family members, he went to Xingyuan on this trip, and his first task was to quell the rebellion, so it was impossible to take his family members to fight. Therefore, Li Ye left a group of royal soldiers to protect a group of family members, and he took hundreds of cavalry to chase after the large team of Tiance Army.
Unlike his departure on December 15, the Tiance Army had already set off under the leadership of Li Hong and Liu Qi three days ago, because Li Ye had too many belongings, so it was delayed for a few days.
Don't look at Li Ye, who has only been in Shu for a few years, but his family wealth is very rich, just in terms of money and materials, more than one million, not to mention the rest.
In addition to these, there are many other people, including the set of things that make gunpowder, tea-making, printing, etc., all of which have to be taken away, otherwise if they stay in Chengdu, they will be cheap Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan. There are too many belongings, so Li Ye left thousands of soldiers in the palace and two battalions of Tiance Army to escort him.
The royal soldiers are all elite, well-equipped, and escorted by them, so Li Ye is relieved.
The team of the royal family and the belongings must be moving slowly, and Li Ye naturally will not follow along.
Li Ye left Chengdu, and Li Yi did not come to see him off in person, but Zhang Shufei came to say a short goodbye to Li Ye on behalf of the other party.
And to Li Ye's disappointment, He Dingxuan did not choose to accompany Li Ye, but stayed in Chengdu, and he should not be able to let go of his huge family business. However, he sent his second son He Dong to follow Li Ye.
This arrangement is quite interesting, He Dingxuan also let Li Ye see what kind of businessman is at this time, it can be said that it is a snake and a mouse at both ends, or it can be said that it is a bet on both sides.
He Dingxuan didn't have the courage to put down this huge family fortune and follow Li Ye to Xingyuan Mansion, which was still in rebellion, but he didn't want to completely offend Li Ye, after all, the two families were still related, so he sent He Dong, who had a good relationship with Li Ye, to Xingyuan.
In this regard, although Li Ye was disappointed, the other party was Liu Chenyan's uncle after all, and he couldn't say anything, this was a personal choice, and he was not qualified to force others to do anything.
"Your Highness, this time to quell the rebellion, I am afraid it will be difficult for us Tiance Army alone to quell the rebellion. As far as the lower officials know, the Zhongwu Badu is the core of the Zhongwu Army, and in the suppression of the Huangchao Rebellion, the bloody battle may not be the enemy of the Tiance Army.
And the Righteous Army and the Dongchuan Army will not necessarily greatly assist His Highness. β
Now Li Ye and others have entered the border of Hanzhou, and more than ten miles away is Lutou Pass. Lutou Pass is located on Lutou Mountain, thirty miles north of Deyang County, Hanzhou, and belongs to the main road of the East and West Erchuan, where a large army is stationed. There weren't many garrisons here before, but after the relationship between Chen Jingxuan and Yang Shili became delicate, there were a lot more garrisons in Lutouguan.
"But this king must take Xingyuan Mansion, what is the good advice for joining the army?" Looking at Li Yingxu in front of him, Li Ye asked with a smile.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, when Li Yingxu came back, Tiance Army had already left. Although most of the people in the palace were still there, Sun Ye and Zheng Ningji took most of the palace officials to accompany Tiance Jun and go to Lizhou.
Although the Zhongwu Army currently occupies Xingyuanfu, Yangzhou and Jinzhou, only 1 prefecture and 4 prefectures of 1 prefecture and 4 prefectures in Shannan West Province are in Hanzhong, and the other 10 prefectures are in Shudi, which is roughly equivalent to today's Guangyuan, Bazhong, Nanchong, Dazhou and Kaizhou District of Chongqing. These 10 states are separated from Hanzhong by the long Daba Mountains, although they all belong to Shannan West Road, but the traffic is not very convenient.
Therefore, the rebellion of the Chung Wu Army was mainly in the Hanzhong region. Of course, if the rebels enter Shu, they can take the Micang Road and the Lychee Road, instead of going through Xingzhou and the Golden Bull Road. Although the army led by Lu Yanhong expelled Niu Miao, Niu Miao fled to Fengzhou, where there were still more than 10,000 troops.
Although in addition to the Xing and Feng Prefectures that have been governed by the Righteous Army, Li Ye nominally governs the 10 states of Shu, but Li Ye is not satisfied, if he does not defeat the rebels, he is destined to not last long.
However, if he robbed Niu Ao's festival to make the position, the other party must be dissatisfied with himself, so it is definitely not appropriate to use Xingfeng Erzhou as the base camp for counterinsurgency, and Lizhou is naturally the most suitable. So he appointed Sun Chen as the assassin of Lizhou and went to Lizhou first.
"Discord!" Li Yingxu didn't think of too good attention for the time being, the main thing happened suddenly, and he didn't know much about Xingyuan's situation.
"Zhongwu Badu didn't really want to rebel on this trip, even if Lu Yanhong was ambitious, but not the eight heads and several of Yang Fuguang's righteous sons were willing to bear the charge of rebellion.
Zhongwu Badu made a lot of contributions to quelling the Huangchao rebellion, it is impossible to be disloyal to the imperial court, maybe we can send an envoy to Xingyuan Mansion to drive a wedge between Zhongwu Badu. As long as there is civil strife in the eight capitals of Zhongwu, it is more likely that His Highness will put down the rebellion.
γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο~8.~1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
Moreover, the small number of Tiance troops is a weakness, so His Highness must expand the army as soon as possible. In Chengdu Mansion before, it was inconvenient to expand the army, but now there is no need to taboo so much, if there are not enough soldiers, His Highness's great cause will be greatly affected. β
Li Ye nodded, although the other party only said two points, but it was good to be able to think of these two points in a short time. It's hard to say whether the relationship between the loyal and military capitals can be separated, but when the time comes, you can try.
Of course, there is another point that Li Yingxu did not expect, that is, to try his best to win over the assassins of the ten states located in Shu that were not affected by the rebellion, and let them be used for his own use.
The six prefectures of Quzhou (now Quxian County, Dazhou City, Sichuan), Kaizhou (now Kaizhou District, Chongqing), Tongzhou (now Dazhou City, Sichuan), Bizhou (now Tongjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan), Guozhou (now Nanchong City, Sichuan), and Pengzhou (now Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan) are far away, and Li Ye will definitely not be able to reach them in a short time.
However, the other three prefectures in the vicinity, except for Lizhou: Jizhou (present-day Nanjiang County, Bazhong, Sichuan), Langzhou (present-day Langzhong City, Nanchong, Sichuan), and Bazhou (present-day Bazhong City, Sichuan), must ensure that they are under his absolute control of Li Ye.
Especially in Jizhou and Bazhou, the two states hold the Micang Road, which is the passage into and out of Sichuan, if they can't control here, the rebels can enter Shu at any time through the Micang Road.
After taking a look at the sky, seeing that it was still early, Li Ye and the others hurried after resting for a while, striving to cross the Lutou Pass today and enter the Dongchuan realm, he had to meet Yang Shili well.
Now Yang Shili's situation is not good, Chen Jingxuan said earlier that he would let Gao Renhou replace Yang Shili as the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, which is the beginning of the contradiction between the two Jiedu envoys. Although Yang Shili is also Tian Lingzi's cronies, that was before, and now he has a conflict with Chen Jingxuan, who Tian Lingzi helps, you don't have to think about it.
Not to mention wooing Yang Shili, but Li Ye didn't want Yang Shili to become his enemy. But it's hard to say what the other party thinks now, so he has to find out the attitude.
γγγγγγ
Just when Li Ye led more than 400 cavalry to rush to Mianzhou, at this time, in a forest a few miles north of Lutou Pass on the border between Hanzhou and Mianzhou, a large number of black-clothed armor soldiers were gathering here.
Lutou Pass, that is, the White Horse Pass of later generations. A few miles north of Lutou Pass, there was a Di Shop, which was not well-known, but at this time in a room of Di Dian, several young people were sitting around and discussing something.
"Director Zhao, are you sure that King Shou wants to rest in this mansion? If the intelligence is wrong and you let King Shou go, you know what the consequences will be. A man with an empty sleeve in his right hand said with a grim face.
"Don't worry, King Shou is traveling lightly this time, and they are all cavalry. Due to the fact that the relationship between King Shou and Jieshuai is not harmonious, he will definitely not rest at Lutou Pass. And out of Lutou Pass, the sky is dark, Shouwang and his entourage will definitely not rush in the dark, and the sycophants also need to eat, this shop is the first shop north of Lutou Pass, Shouwang and his party must rest here for one night, and then rush tomorrow. The young man standing next to him explained confidently.
"That's okay, as long as I succeed in getting rid of King Shou this time, I will definitely say good things to you in front of my father, and a six-part master will definitely be fine." The one-armed man patted his chest and reassured.
"Thank you, eldest prince, if you have any orders in the future, the eldest prince will say casually, Zhao must be full of liver and brain."
Hearing this assurance, the man surnamed Zhao was immediately overjoyed, and immediately thanked him. Although they are all in charge, he is now only the head of the Yushitai from the ninth grade, and the head of the sixth department is from the eighth grade, which can be regarded as a big grade.
"Big brother, is it okay to think about assassinating the Shou King again this time? After all, we don't have many troops mobilized, and King Shou has hundreds of cavalry, what if the operation fails?
The assassination of the prince is tantamount to rebellion, if the East Window incident happensγγγγγ A man sitting next to him worried.
"Third child, when did you become so bold? We brought thousands of people with us this time, and we didn't just go there, but waited for them to fall asleep at night and set fire to the shop.
I don't believe that King Shou can escape this fire? And.... Speaking of this, the one-armed man's face became more and more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, "And the revenge of the broken arm has to be avenged." What's wrong with him being a prince? It's not that I was kicked out of the court by my uncle and father, and we can bring out so many people, and my father acquiesced, so don't worry.
It's a big deal that the shirking is a strongman who is greedy for money, so he will naturally not think of my brothers and other brothers, let alone my father and uncle, so you can put a hundred hearts on the third child. β
This one-armed man is Chen Liang, the eldest son of Chen Jingxuan, who was cut off by his predecessor Li Ye for more than a year, and the 'third child' next to him is naturally Chen Hu. As for the director of Zhao, who gave advice to several people, it was naturally the scholar surnamed Zhao who befriended Chen Hu at the beginning, but he didn't expect that in order to get to the top, he would not hesitate to give advice to the Chen brothers and murder Li Ye.
And Li Ye was on his way to this mansion at this time, and he didn't know that someone was going to murder him.
There will be a fourth watch later, I hope you will support a lot, and don't keep the recommended tickets overnight!
