Unlike the bloodless soldiers in Liaodong, the pacification of Yingping made a big move, and after the Yingping observation envoy Luo Ke made an observation envoy, he understood his own situation, and he didn't care about government affairs, and he hunted, played, wrestled, and feasted every day, and lived a leisurely life, and Xie Biao, Wang Jian and others who coaxed him gradually relaxed their vigilance;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Xue Luo Ke saw the opportunity, quietly began to raise servants and dead soldiers in the mansion, up to hundreds of people, hiding bows and arrows, weapons, horses, this time heard that Li Mao was arrested by the imperial court in Ziqing, so he and Chang'an came to make a secret business, to trap Xie Biao and Wang Jian, the news was detected by the right wing, reported to Li Mao.

Li Mao ordered his adviser Tian Qian to come forward to deal with it, and told Tian Ling to value peace, as long as he repented, he could not blame the past and bring him to Youzhou to live idlely.

Tian Qian made an appointment to meet Xie Biao and Wang Jian, asked Ming Zhi Luo Ke Pingsu what he had done, and said to the two: "Yingping communicates inside and outside the Guan, how important is the status, and it is not allowed to be careless, this person has had different ambitions for a long time, and it is difficult to tolerate it." ”

Xie Biao said: "He is the founding father, and he has made great contributions to Liaodong, and the fear of openly killing him will arouse suspicion from all sides." ”

Wang Jian said: "It's better to follow the instructions of the Taiwei and send him to live in Youzhou." ”

Tian Qian said: "I can hear it, the two of them are loyal people, and they would rather suffer losses themselves than be sorry for the old man, so I will do a good job of this wicked person, and everything has nothing to do with the two of them." ”

After Li Mao's southern expedition, Tian Qian went to Yingping and became the "supervising military envoy" of the town.

Tian Qi said to do it, night fell, Lu Luo Ke's house in Yingzhou was besieged by a group of unidentified warriors, Xue Luo Ke knew that something was wrong, put on the battle, led the people to resist, strong bows and crossbows, arrows like rain, melee a meal of kung fu, suddenly there was a flower bomb volley, Xue Luo Ke mansion suddenly became a sea of fire, and after a cup of tea, the door was broken.

The warriors swarmed in, and killed when they saw anyone, but he was wounded by the flames, and as he retreated, he fell to the ground, was trampled by the people, and his waist was broken, and he was killed.

Half an hour later, there was no living person in the house of Xue Luoke, Tian Qian wrapped himself tightly in a dark cloak, stepped on the stump of the broken arm, and came to the back hall, personally verified the body of Luo Ke, ordered someone to pile up dry firewood, and set a fire.

The flames were raging, and the Ying Ping Observation Envoy, along with his family, tribesmen, servants, and mansion, was instantly reduced to ashes.

Li Mao received a local report, learned that Luo Luo could be harmed by the Khitan remnants, wept bitterly, ordered the garrison to block the Guanjin Ferry, strictly investigate the Khitan spies, and ordered the border generals to take the initiative to attack, into the Khitan remnants, the various departments were ordered to attack, into the grassland, the Khitan has long been far away, only part of the attached people scattered on the edge of the grassland and the forest, this time did not ask whether it was good or bad, all of them were slaughtered, and they were tossed until the heavy snow sealed the plain and could not use soldiers.

When the news of Luo Ke's killing reached Youzhou, Cheng Weigong was shocked by the soldiers and horses, and he convened his henchmen and nephews overnight to discuss: "If you can't fight the tiger, you will be devoured by the tiger, Youzhou can't stay anymore, what should I do, whether to set the fire or go quietly."

His nephew Cheng Wang Shui said: "Taiwei Henghai returned to Liaodong, Xue Shangshu was defeated without an arrow, he was still able to tolerate the old feelings, and Xue Luoke secretly planned the bad intentions of the dead man, and did not attack, but let him cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the difference between relatives and relatives has appeared." His uncle's friendship with him was better than that of Rakko."

Cheng Weigong said: "He is King Xi, the father and old minister of Liaodong, and my head is just an ornament." ”

Cheng Wangshui said: "Although my uncle has not done anything, but his mind is clear, it is difficult to distinguish between a hundred mouths, if he comes back, how can there be good fruit to eat, it is better to leave this place as soon as possible." When he went to Chang'an, he was still a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cheng Weigong looked around, but everyone didn't speak, so he sighed: "I was born in Youzhou, grew up in Youzhou, this is my home, but it's a pity that I have to leave my hometown at this age." Is there really no room for manoeuvre, can't you even give it a try?"

His son Cheng Guan said: "Xue Shangshu and Xue Luo Ke are not his opponents, so my father should not be reckless." ”

Cheng Weigong said: "Rebel, say such a big rebellious thing to anger the old man." ”

Cheng Guan said: "Although I don't like it, but it's true, the little force in our hands has already made him adapted, except for the guards and the dead soldiers, there are few people available, and he is not an opponent at all. ”

Cheng Weigong suddenly changed color, Cheng Wangshui hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle is angry, he returned to Liaodong this time, and took Xue Shangshu without blood, and destroyed Luo Ke without much effort, it seems that he came prepared, this Youzhou seems to be calm, but in fact, it is an undercurrent and undercurrent, even if we succeed, it will be impossible to hold it in the future." What's even worse is that once he can't hold it, the court can't do anything to him, he is still a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, let's do it with him, and we will become a traitor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cheng Guan said: "At that time, the court will not wash away our grievances, but will use us to appease him." ”

Cheng Weigong laughed and scolded with a smile: "I can't see that you two rabbit cubs are not confused, it's just that we can't stay in Youzhou, but I hate those Xiaoxiao in the court, and a good game of chess makes them mush, alas, let's go, let's go." Let's just say that my body is itchy and I can't do it, so I went to Chang'an to recuperate. Our green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and there will be a period in the future. ”

Cheng Weigong packed up the softness, took his family and subordinates, left a letter of resignation, and set off for Chang'an.

Li Maoren was still in Pingzhou, and the pro-army right wing rendezvous with the Internal Security Office launched a joint operation in Youzhou, and the garrison and the Security Bureau fully cooperated, turning Youzhou City upside down, and in the name of searching for Khitan spies, they wantonly searched for the Longxiang camp to lurk and do detectives, and also beat rabbits with grass, and by the way, the spies of Shannanshe, Xuanwu, Bohai, Silla, and Uighurs were also swept away.

Everything is ready, at the end of October of this year, the Tang Dynasty Taiwei, Youzhou Jiedu envoy, Chengwu County Wang Li Mao returned to Youzhou, the court asked for merit for the Khitan meritorious personnel, sent an envoy to Chang'an to comfort Cheng Weigong's illness, and protected the grange and family property he left in Youzhou, and elected the deputy envoy of Ziqing Dao Jiedu and the Qing Navy soldier and horse envoy Yu Hualong as the Pinglu Jiedu envoy.

After Li Shidao was killed in Ziqing, the imperial court divided Ziqing into three ways:

Zi, Qing, Lai, and Deng are together, and the Lu army is built to govern Qingzhou.

Yun, Qi, Pu, and Cao were together, built the Tianping Army, and governed Yunzhou.

Yan, Mi, Yi and Hai are together, build the Yan Navy, and govern Yanzhou.

In addition to Li Mao's recommendation of Yu Hualong as the envoy of the Pinglu Military Festival, Tian Huaiji also recommended Tian Rong as the envoy of the Tianping Military Festival, and Li Yu recommended Li You as the envoy of the Yanhai Navy.

The twelve states of Ziqing have been divided by Li Mao and Tian Huaizhi before this, and it takes courage to grab food, this "brave" Li Chunyou, but the "qi" is not very sufficient, one is that he is weak and often faints recently, and secondly, although more than 100,000 troops loyal to him are stationed in the old land of Ziqing, but if you want to deal with Li Mao and Tian Huaiji, you seem to lack confidence.

The attendants understood this and did not dare to tell him the news.

Li Chun has his own channels and knows the situation in Ziqing well, he doesn't hate Li Mao and Tian Huaizhi for being two-faced with him, he only hates his body for not fighting, and he can't use it at critical moments.

Li Mao killed Huang Zhong and expelled Huang Li and a group of generals carefully arranged by him, Xue Rong is a loyal minister, but he is also an authentic stupid minister, how can people be so stupid that in addition to him, Xue Luo Ke is also a stupid minister, Cheng Weigong is not only a stupid minister but also a shameless minister ran to Chang'an without firing an arrow, and he was still shy to ask for an official.

Li Chunqiang suppressed his anger and tried not to think about these troublesome things, he needs to recuperate now, recuperate, and recover as soon as possible, only when he recovers can he deal with these rebels and thieves to the end.

Li Mao wants to recommend Yu Hualong, I can promise him, Tian Huaizhi wants to recommend Tian Rong, I can also promise him, first stabilize them, and then slowly figure them out, go to Hebei thieves, you must use slow fire and slow cooking, and you can't be impatient.

Li Chun summoned Wang Shoucheng and ordered him to go to the Hanlin Academy to announce the summons, add Li Mao and Tian Huai to Ping Zhangshi, add Li Yu Situ, move the town to Yanzhou, and promote Li You to the envoy of the Wuning Military Festival. Li You is Li Yu's junior, and treating Li Yu as a teacher, having these two towns in his hands is enough to curb Li Mao and Tian Huai's disobedience. Add General Li Quanzhong Jin Wuwei, give him more money and food, reduce constraints, raise him, and put a pole on Tian Huaiji's heart, so that he can't sleep.

As for Li Mao, I can't reach the whip, so let's get used to him, and if I do too much injustice, I will kill myself.

Li Chun turned the general trend of the world in his mind, and his mood improved again, in the end, the gain of attacking Ziqing this time was greater than the loss, and he went to this thorn in the eye, who is the next target, Tian Huaizhi or Hengzhou

Both of these have their own opportunities, there are a lot of cards that can be played, a good handful of cards, what am I afraid of.

Thinking of this, Li Chun fell asleep with peace of mind, closed his eyes, and hoped to have a good dream.
