Chapter 684: Rebel, Brother!
North of Yanshan.
On the grassland dam.
This was once the place of Huaihuang Town, one of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the dam outside the Great Wall was already the southern edge of the grassland because it was outside the Great Wall in the north of Yanshan, so there was no county and people here, but only a military buffer zone.
After the siege of Yanmen, the imperial court separated the area west of Yanshan Yan and the military capital into a Zhuo County, which was placed under the jurisdiction of the Dingxiang Dao Jiedu Embassy, and the northern part of Mayi County was also separated into a Yunnei County, which was also assigned to Dingxiang Dao.
Outside the Great Wall, on the Wild Fox Ridge.
This is where the two detachments meet.
On the one hand, Luo Cheng, the loyal army of Andong Province, and Luo Siye, the festival of the Xuanwu Army of Dingxiang Road, on the other hand, is Luo Siye.
The two brave and warlike border commanders met secretly outside the Great Wall.
"I came all the way, and I was worried that you had already gone to Longyou."
"I was going to leave, but I saw the letter you sent to deliver it quickly, so I stayed again."
Siye and Luo Cheng brothers met, laughed and dismounted, and hugged each other.
"It's hard for you to come here on purpose."
Originally, Luo Cheng made an appointment to meet at Linyu Pass between Beiping County and Liucheng County, but in the end, Heiye proposed to meet at the dam outside the Great Wall of Zhuo County, so Luo Cheng had to hurry up and hurry up.
"How were you doing along the way?"
"Fortunately, I walked outside the gates, although the road is a little more difficult, but it is a ridiculous territory, which is convenient."
Luo Cheng's influence on Xi Qi's two tribes is huge now, especially after the last time they jointly sent troops to attack the Turks, the relationship has gone further. On the one hand, they got a lot of booty, and on the other hand, Luo Cheng and them fully opened the border market to trade, and the khans and nobles of the two clans made a lot of money, and their living standards were greatly improved.
Therefore, this time Luo Cheng secretly borrowed the way, Xi Khan Yang Guoqing was naturally very enthusiastic, he personally came to guide Luo Cheng, and brought a thousand light cavalry guards.
Therefore, there is no obstacle on this road, and it is a light ride, so it is not more troublesome than passing through Beiping and Fanyang through Linyu Pass.
The brothers stood on the Wild Fox Ridge.
"Do you know what happened to my uncle?" Si Ye asked.
"I know, this time it's probably a bit troublesome."
In fact, the matter described by Yuwen is very simple, that is, Yuwen told the emperor's will and summoned him back to Jiangdu to restore his appearance. Yuwenshu took the new road that was built when he first entered Yunnan, which is Kunming that leads to Dianchi Lake from his toes. He went back the way he came, as he passed by Cochin.
Originally, Luo Yi didn't want to see Yu Wenshu, but Yu Wenshu was a little carried away, and deliberately asked his entourage to visit Luo Yi, and said that he would invite Luo Yi to dinner at the post station, saying that he would abandon his previous suspicions or something.
Seeing this, Luo Yi couldn't refuse, so he went to the banquet.
If everyone saves a little face, then have a meal, even if they still have a grudge in their hearts, at least they can get by on the scene, and it will not be bad if everyone does not violate the river water in the future.
But after Yuwen Shu drank a few glasses of wine, he began to turn over the old accounts.
The words were very unkind to Luo Yi, and even with a little bit of alcohol, he said that after he regained his appearance, he would never forget the account that Luo Yi blinded him at the beginning.
Even he proudly told Luo Yi that after returning to Beijing, he would let Luo Yi go to Yunnan to take over his original position, and also said some nonsense such as impeaching Luo Cheng.
Luo Yiben is also a hard-tempered person, otherwise he would not have blinded Yuwenshu in front of the emperor in the first place.
Originally, he came over in the face of the scene, but who would have expected this Yuwenshu old dog to be so arrogant.
The two quarreled in the post house, and at that time, Luo Yi almost used his hand to blow Yuwenshu's other eye, and after his subordinates pulled him back, the more Luo Yi thought about it, the more angry he became.
Not only did he not lose his anger, but he became even more angry.
So in a fit of anger, with a bit of drunkenness, he simply asked people to set fire to the post station. Originally, if it was an ordinary subordinate, even if the boss gave such an order, he would not dare to go.
But Luo Yi has always been strict in governing the army, and he has a very generous reward for his subordinates, so he has great prestige in the army.
He said that he was going to burn Yuwen Shu, but his subordinates really went.
A group of people surrounded Yuwenshu's post in the middle of the night, and then threw torches into it.
When Yuwenshu and his gang in the post station want to rush out, they will release arrows.
This thing was done very well, but what he never expected was that Yu Wenshu had a subordinate who was not in the post station that night, which was sent by Yu Wenshu to investigate and collect Luo Yi's news, and he saw Luo Yi's tooth soldiers set fire to the post station, and shot Yu Wenshu and others who wanted to rush out with arrows.
The man then quietly fled from Cochin, and then reported the information.
This is how it came out.
At this time, not only the emperor was furious, but even Xiao Yu, Yuan Chong and Lai Hu'er also tried their best to investigate Luo Yi's crimes, and Li Yuan, the prime minister, could not help speak, so he could only persuade the emperor to summon Luo Yi to the palace to inquire clearly before convicting him.
"Isn't this Yuwen Shu stupid?" After listening to the inside story, Heiye couldn't help but shake his head.
"It doesn't matter whether Yuwen Shu is stupid or not now, the important thing is that I got the news that this time the emperor refuses to give up, and he must let his uncle be convicted. He even plans to take the opportunity to take away our brother's military power, heir, I know that you are the son-in-law of the Heavenly Son, but now our Luo family is on the same rope, if something happens to our uncle, none of us can escape being implicated. And standing in our current position, once we lose our military power, we will have no one to rely on, and then we will have to let others rub and pinch the round, and you and my brother have risen too fast in the past few years, I don't know how many powerful people have offended, and how many people have been red-eyed. ”
Luo Cheng patted his brother on the shoulder, "This time, we must think carefully about a countermeasure." ”
Si Ye looked at Luo Cheng sideways, and saw that this brother did not hide some of his intentions in front of him.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Uncle is not going to Beijing when he is sick now, and the emperor is still urging, but now the key is still the two of us, as long as we still hold the two armies of Zhongwu and Xuanwu for a day, the emperor will not dare to do anything to my uncle."
"Supporting the army and respecting oneself, this is no different from rebellion, right?" Inheritance Road.
"It can be said that but it is not so simple, our brothers charged for the Great Sui and threw their heads and spilled blood, do they have to change to an ending like Li Hun and Li Min in the end? Because of a trumped-up crime of treason, the whole clan was killed? ”
"Heiye, besides, today's son is not a saint Mingjun admired by all the people, to put it mildly, he is a loser, a gentleman, and a faint king. No matter how grand his ideals were, the result was that if there are thousands of holes today, and the people are in dire straits, perhaps, it would be better to change the emperor or simply change the dynasty. ”
Si Ye was not surprised at all by Luo Cheng's astonishing remarks.
"But have you thought about it, if it really comes to this point, I am afraid that the world will be more devastated and the people will be in dire straits." Inheritance Road.
