"King Yan rebelled? Did he think that our Shandong was the king of Qi who rebelled, so he had to rebel and fight? Luo Renyuan said with his eyes open. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And Chief Su's first consideration was whether the news was true: "Lu Yuan, King Yan really rebelled?" When? How come we don't know anything about it? "If Zhu Di really raised the flag and rebelled, the soldiers deployed in Texas should have reported it, and it can't be only Lu Yuan who knows.

Xie Cheng didn't say anything, but through his expression, he knew that he also cared a lot about whether it was true.

Lu Yuan glanced at the expressions of these people, and then said, "It's true." King Yan's men gave us some help and told me that King Yan was about to raise an army. ”

"When they said this to me, it was September 21, saying that King Yan would raise troops at the end of September, and then send troops to Shanhaiguan to block the entry of troops in Guandong, and at the same time the main force went south to make peace with us."

"Arresting the head of the Kong family is also the meaning of King Yan."

"As for why King Yan raised an army, then I don't know."

After hearing Lu Yuan's words that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, would rebel, everyone became happy. After Zhu Di's rebellion, their hope of success increased from extremely low to one or two percent, although the probability of success is still very low, but it is much higher than before, and there is finally more hope.

Lu Yuan waited for them to be happy, and then said, "So the most important thing for us now is to go north to meet the army of King Yan." ”

Then Lu Yuan ordered some more things, and then asked them all to retreat.

Even after retiring, they were still talking to each other. Some people are still talking about why King Yan rebelled, but most people don't care about this issue, they are more concerned about Zhu Di also rebelling and what is the main direction of attack after they become one. Everyone had a heated discussion, and the dull atmosphere of losing troops and losing troops under Yanzhou City for several days was swept away.

Lu Yuan also stood up and sent these people to the gate of the camp, listening to their lively discussions, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he turned around and wanted to return his back account, but saw that Luo Ren was still staying in the big tent and did not go out, so he asked, "Luo Ren, do you still have questions?" Why don't you go back to your tent? ”

Luo Ren walked over and whispered to him: "Lu Yuan, after we merge with King Yan, the general commander is His Royal Highness King Yan, right?" ”

Lu Yuan said: "That's natural, King Yan is not only the Ming Sect, but also one of the powerful generals today, in terms of commanding and fighting, even Xie Cheng may not be comparable to him." ”

"And we started with the name of the Qing Jun, and it was best to let the clan take the lead."

Luo Ren said a little anxiously: "But, have you forgotten what we did in Qingzhou?" Do you think that His Royal Highness King Yan will not make any moves after knowing what we have done to Zhu Rong's wife and children? ”

"Even if King Yan doesn't care about it for the time being, if we can really succeed, do you think His Royal Highness King Yan will still care?"

Lu Yuan's face was also gloomy at this time. He said: "I have also thought about this problem, so I have ordered the people left behind in Qingzhou to put Zhu Yu and all his relatives to death, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

Luo Ren said: "It's not proper! It's a long way, it's very inappropriate! ”

"King Yan is not a fool, all the people left in Qingzhou by King Qi are dead, how can he not doubt it?"

"And even if it's all your cronies, do you really believe that there is no one who will betray you? Especially when King Yan became the emperor and personally sent someone to investigate this matter, do you think you can leave no clues for King Yan at all? ”

"As long as there are clues, you can find out the truth of the matter. Anyway, Zhu Rong is also the brother of King Yan, and his people have been ruined by us like this, do you think King Yan will let us go? ”

"Even if it's for the sake of losing face, we can be executed if we find a crime."

Lu Yuan put on his completely gloomy face and said to Luo Ren: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

Luo Ren said: "In my opinion, Zhu Rong must die, it can be said that Zhu Rong accidentally fell off his horse and died of injuries just after leaving Qingzhou. ”

"All of Zhu Rong's concubines will also be put to death. But this is easy, just let all the concubines give him a funeral before Zhu Yu died, and it will not arouse suspicion. ”

"The princes who stayed in Qingzhou were very young, and there were not many people, and they didn't know what was going on, so it was easy to do it, and they could all be handed over to King Yan and sent to Beiping. But the most difficult thing to deal with is a few county lords. ”

Of course, Lu Yuan also knew that several county lords were not easy to deal with. If they were all executed, unless King Yan was an idiot, he would definitely suspect what they had done to these county lords. Even if Zhu Di passed as if there was nothing at that time, he would definitely not let them go in the future. But the problem is that he can't think of a good solution.

Lu Yuan then said, "Do you have a good way?" ”

Luo Ren said: "After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the only way was to let our people marry a few county lords. ”

"Let's just say that after Zhu Yan raised his army, in order to win over his subordinates, he promised all his daughters to his subordinates."

"And women, after having a man, especially after being pregnant with a man's flesh and blood, they will obey their man, even if it is a royal county lord, there is probably no exception."

"And as long as they don't say anything themselves, there's no problem."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just do it!" The younger ones were given to themselves, and the older ones were given to their sons. ”

"You call a few people who came out of Qingzhou with us, and I'll tell them."

=====================================================

The next morning, the head of Yanzhou City.

Tie Xuan put down the binoculars and said to Sheng Yong: "Cheng Yi is pulling out the village, are they going to retreat?" ”

Sheng Yong looked at it for himself for a while, and then said, "Probably so. ”

"They have been under Yanzhou City for ten days, but in addition to no progress, and as the recruited people become more and more proficient, their certainty of conquering the city is getting smaller and smaller."

"And we already know that His Majesty has appointed Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, as the commander (they ignored Zhu Xianyan) to lead the troops north to quell the rebellion, and the rebels probably also know, so it is absolutely not advisable to continue to attack the city of Yanzhou, and it is natural to retreat."

Tie Xuan said, "Do you want to send troops out of the city to chase after you?" ”

Sheng Yong said: "It's okay to send cavalry to follow, but I'm afraid it won't work if you attack with infantry." ”

"Their rebels have not let their guard down, you see, one of their five armies has always been on guard."

"And the soldiers in our city are just the dissatisfied Lu Wang Sanwei, there are a lot of casualties these days, those people are strong and defend the city, I am afraid that 10,000 people will not be able to eat 1,000 of them in the field, so the pursuit can only be sent out of the few remaining guards."

"But there are a lot of rebellious cavalry, plus they are vigilant, it's better not to take risks."

Tie Xuan is also not an adventurous person, so he does not plan to send troops out after hearing Sheng Yong's words. Moreover, his identity is Shandong's participation in politics, and now the soldiers under their command are all soldiers of King Lu Sanwei, and he also commands not to move.

It took more than half a day for the rebels outside the city to put away the entire camp tent, and then retreat in batches. In fact, it is not a lot of trouble to pull out the village, but how to place the wounded soldiers is very troublesome. Wounded soldiers can't walk on their own like normal soldiers, so they're slow.

Sheng Yong, who had been watching them retreat from the city, was a little moved to send someone to pursue, but in the end he endured it. He is not the commander of Shandong, and defending Yanzhou City is a great achievement, and greed for merit is not a good thing.

Compared to him, Tie Hyun doesn't have so many ideas. After the proposal to go out of the city to pursue was rejected, he didn't care how they retreated, and went down the city wall to deal with the affairs of Yanzhou City, and it was not until the evening that he went to the city again.

Tie Xuan picked up the binoculars and looked at the rebels in the distance, and said, "They really retreated, and they can finally relax a little." ”

Sheng Yong continued: "Yes, you can relax a little." Next, just wait for the army of Marquis Jingchuan to come up. ”

After Tie Hyun breathed a sigh of relief, he also wanted to talk about some light topics. He said: "This clairvoyance invented by Your Majesty is really useful, if it hadn't been for it before, the first attack of the rebel army might have been successful." ”

Sheng Yong also sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for the telescope, it is estimated that it would have missed on the first day." ”

Sheng Yong was not only sighing about this, he was also sighing that he could really block the attack of the army led by Xie Cheng, even if he had a city to defend, but for a little-known general like him, he had never imagined it.

Sheng Yong looks down on himself in this way, and the first sentence of his biography in "History of the Ming Dynasty" is "Sheng Yong, I don't know who it is." And then it was all his performance in the midst of the martyrdom, which shows that his performance before this had no bright spots. It's not surprising that I don't have much confidence in myself.

Tie Xuan continued after Sheng Yong finished speaking: "It's a pity, the clairvoyant rebels also have it, otherwise, we estimate that it will be easier to defend the city." ”

Sheng Yong came out of his thoughts at this time, and after hearing Tie Xuan's words, he said: "When these things appear, they will naturally be sent to various guards, and it is meaningless to always hold them in the capital, but unfortunately there is an army rebellion, and they don't have clairvoyance to deal with those thieves in peacetime, so it will be of great effect." ”

Tie Xuan sighed: "Speaking of which, since His Majesty became the emperor of the imperial court, there have been a lot of new things in the short period of more than a year, and they are all very useful, such as clairvoyance, railroad carriages, blast furnace ironmaking, and so on. ”

"If only the imperial court could suddenly come up with something now that can quickly eliminate the anti-thieves."
