Chapter 223: Capture the Rebellion
"What?
Did you send the fine seal Zhu Jue to the Ye Li clan for disposal?"
When Li Chengqian heard that the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion had sent Zhu Jue to the Yeli clan for disposal, his eyes almost didn't pop out.
"The minister sent to follow the person who sealed Zhu Jue back and said it." Xue Rengui was also puzzled.
Li Chengqian thought about it slowly and said, "Where have they gone now?"
"The people sent by the minister found out that the Yeli clan had a shop selling leather goods in Baiquan County, and the people from the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion sent several people from the Xifeng clan to the leather goods store, and asked the people in the shop to send the people from the Xifeng clan back to the Yeli clan's stockade."
Li Chengqian snorted angrily when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Rengui sent someone to change his outfit and rob everyone and detain them." ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you summon Governor Zheng He?" Xue Rengui thought that with Li Chengqian's temperament, he would inevitably summon Zheng He to reprimand him.
Li Chengqian glanced at Xue Rengui and said, "Don't leave any traces when robbing people." ”
Xue Rengui immediately understood that Li Chengqian didn't believe Zheng He.
Today, along the way, Li Chengqian wondered why the Yeli clan suddenly recklessly forcibly requisitioned cattle, sheep and horses from small tribes?
Wild's doing this is either something big for themselves or something big for the people behind them.
Li Chengqian secretly said in his heart: No matter which of you wants to do great things, since you have met the lonely king......
……
Early the next morning, Li Chengqian summoned Zhu Jue, who was in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Although Zhu Jue had been to Chang'an several times with the old men in the clan, he could be regarded as having seen some of the world, but as soon as he approached Li Chengqian's Chinese army tent today, his legs trembled with fright.
I saw five steps and one post around the big tent, ten steps and one sentry, and the tall and mighty soldiers with bright helmets and bright armor, holding bright red tassel guns, standing there like a benchmark, and the water defended by the big tent of the Chinese army was impassable.
Zhu Jue walked into the big tent with trepidation, and looked up to see a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes sitting high on a tiger skin chair in the middle of the big tent, looking down at him. guessed that this was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly made a five-body throw.
Looking at the fine seal Zhu Jue kowtowing on the ground, he said excitedly: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie saves his life......
Li Chengqian felt that this burly and simple uncle was a little cute, motioned for someone to help him up, and asked with a smile: "You are the leader of the Xifeng clan in Baiquan County?"
Hearing this, Zhu Jue's hands shook in panic and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Xifeng clan in Baiquan County is just a small tribe, and the villain is only a patriarch, so he doesn't dare to call the word 'leader' indiscriminately." ”
Li Chengqian listened to his simple words and really liked it in his heart, and nodded unconsciously: "Okay!" Seal Zhu Jue, you told King Gu in detail about the situation when you went to the Governor's Mansion of Fangchi Prefecture yesterday. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Jue hurriedly said: "The villain was ordered by General Xue yesterday......"
Zhu Jue told the situation yesterday in detail, and everyone in the big tent felt indignant, but they all endured it when they saw that Li Chengqian did not speak.
Li Chengqian's face was still calm, and he looked at Wang Qun and asked, "Have the people from the Yeli clan who were captured last night ever interrogated?"
Hearing this, Wang Qun stood up and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister personally brought someone to interrogate him last night!" ”
"But where did Izuno send all these cattle, sheep and horses?"
The people in the tent didn't know why Li Chengqian asked about the whereabouts of the cattle and sheep, but they heard Wang Qun reply: "Back to His Royal Highness, these people are just the descendants of the Yeli clan, and they don't know who the cattle, sheep and horses are given to, only that every time the Yeli clan collects cattle, sheep and horses are sent to the north." ”
Northern?
Everyone is stunned, the people on the grassland have endless cattle, sheep and horses, all of which are sent to Chang'an for sale, and the north is the prairie where there is no shortage of horses, cattle and sheep, what do they send cattle, sheep and horses to?
Li Chengqian thought about it, if you look at the map, there may be a place in the north that is short of cattle, sheep and horses?
So he looked at Zhu Jue and asked, "Does this Yeli clan have any connection with the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion?"
All the generals in the big tent were shocked when they heard this, the rebellion of Liu Lan, the governor of the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, has not been quelled?
According to this line of thought, it was in these months that the Yeli clan began to collect cattle, sheep and horses from the small tribes of Dang Xiangqiang, and Liu Lan's rebellion was also a matter of these months.
And now it is Qiu Xinggong who is leading the army to attack the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, and the Yeli clan is reckless in order to get horses, and openly robs the cattle and sheep of the Xifeng clan......
Zhu Jue felt the atmosphere in the big tent gradually become solemn, and stammered: "This villain doesn't know ...... either."
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is involved in the rebels of Xiazhou, we should immediately lead the army to destroy this Yeli clan." Su Dingfang said murderously.
Li Chengqian glanced at him, and secretly said that he was killed, and he heard Cheng Wuting say loudly outside the tent: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Governor of Fangchi Prefecture led the civil and military officials of the Governor of Fangchi Prefecture to come and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inspect the city. ”
Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Kui with a gloomy face when he heard this, Liu Kui was stunned and at a loss, Li Chengqian secretly scolded the fool and said in a low voice: "The lonely king even feels cold, just today." ”
Hearing this, Liu Kui hurriedly walked out of the big tent and said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a cold wind last night, and there are no guests today, so please go back to Governor Zheng." ”
When Zheng He and the others heard this, although they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to show it, so they could only go back again.
"Rengui, you take someone to ask someone from the Xifeng clan to lead the way, go to the vicinity of the Yeli clan's stockade, and find out what this Yeli clan wants to do." Li Chengqian saw that Liu Kui had already sent Zheng He away, and directly ordered.
"Obey."
------------------
Xue Rengui and his party went out in the morning, and after noon, they sent someone back a few people, and Wang Qun was busy taking people to interrogate.
Soon the results were reported to Li Chengqian, and it turned out that these were sent by the Xiazhou rebels to deliver a letter to Ye Lixiong, the owner of Yeli Village, and after delivering the letter, he was caught by Xue Rengui on the way back to Xiazhou.
According to them, Yeli Xiongfei's second son, Yeli Haojie, was a confidant general under Liu Lan, and Yeli had always supported Liu Lan's rebellion.
The most important thing is that Yeli Xiongfei is going to send a batch of grain and horses to Liu Lan tonight, first let them go back to report to Liu Lan, and second, they can also explore the road along the way, if they find something unfavorable, they will go back to report the news.
Li Chengqian sent a fast horse and ordered Xue Rengui to continue to ambush there, and wait for Ye Li Xiongfei to lead people to send horses and food to Liu Lan and then capture them in one fell swoop.
Early the next morning, Xue Rengui sent someone to deliver the news, saying that he had captured Yeli Xiongfei's eldest son Yeli Mutu last night and sent it to Xiazhou with two hundred war horses and two thousand stone of grain.
Xue Rengui was rushing back with Yelimutu and asked Li Chengqian to make further arrangements.
When Li Chengqian received the news, he immediately ordered Su Dingfang to lead his troops to surround the Yeli clan's stockade, and at the same time ordered Zhu Jue to gather all the nearby party Xiang Qiang people and go to the Yeli clan's stockade.
After Li Chengqian arranged all this, someone came in to report that Zheng He, the governor of Fangchi Prefecture, had come to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and respectfully invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inspect the city.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this Zheng He Sanfan has come twice to personally invite you into the city, there won't be any conspiracy, right?" Even Wang Fangyi, who hadn't spoken much, was suspicious of Zheng He.
Li Chengqian smiled coldly when he heard this: "It's time to meet this Zheng He, he is the person who was transferred by order of the Lone King, even if he kills the head of the Lone King, he has to meet him." After that, he turned back to Liu Kui and said, "Announce him in!" ”
