Chapter 132
The prefect of Baoning is Liu Guodong's younger brother, named Liu Guoliang, when he learned that there were rebels attacking Baoning City, he was also very shocked, and hurriedly sent a letter to Sun Chuanting in Chengdu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Chuanting learned that someone had rebelled, and did not panic, so he immediately summoned Liu Guodong, the political envoy of Zuobu of Chengdu Prefecture, Gao Mingyi, the commander of the guard, Qian Junshu, the general soldier of Sichuan, and the commander of the guard, Wang Zanguo, to enter the palace to discuss matters.
The five of them discussed in Sun Chuanting's mansion for a long time and made four arrangements, the first was to mobilize more than 6,000 soldiers from the Chengdu Guard into Baoning Mansion, the second was to order the prefectures and counties of Boryeong Prefecture to be vigilant, the third was to strictly order the surrounding prefectures and counties of Boryeong to implement martial law to prevent traitors from fleeing out of Boryeong Mansion, and the fourth was to order Boryeong Mansion to find out the cause of the people's rebellion, but the reason was also in Chengdu at night, and that was because the government ordered the arrest of Wang Shixing and leaked the news.
The order to arrest Wang Shixing was given by Sun Chuanting personally, which was originally a handle, but Liu Guodong did not think of using this crime to engage Sun Chuanting, on the contrary, he also tried his best to counterinsurgency, as mentioned above, most of the eunuch party members are pragmatic, Liu Guodong understands that Sun Chuanting's arrival is to rob him of power, but there are priorities, at this moment, counterinsurgency is the most important thing.
At dawn on the second day of the rebellion in Boryeong, Chengdu Mansion and Qian Junshu had already completed the army and left Boryeongfu at noon.
And the current situation in Boryeong Mansion is not optimistic, Wang Shixing's prestige in Boryeong Mansion is very high, raising the flag to rebel, there are many people responding, the rebels from the initial more than 2,000 people, into nearly 5,000 people, of course, the most difficult thing for the Boryeong Mansion government to accept is that these rabble actually captured Tongjiang County, and killed the county order, the head was hung on the city wall, Liu Guoliang, the prefect of Boryeong Prefecture, was furious after learning the news, and recruited two guards in the prefect's yamen, and Baoning garrison Hu Jun.
When the three of them came to the prefect's yamen, Liu Guoliang said angrily to the three of them: "The traitor captured Tongjiang, beheaded the county order, and lost the prestige of the country. ”
"Adults, never." The garrison Hu Jun hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade.
"Why not." Liu Guoliang was now carried away by anger, he did not think of the crux of the matter.
"My lord, now there are 5,000 people under the command of the thief leader Wang Shixing, and the defenders from all over the prefectures and counties near Tongjiang are less than 500 people, even if you add the government service, the military household of the guard, it is only a thousand people, Wang Shixing now wants to take that county is very simple, our Baoning Mansion defenders are less than 3,000, if you want to take Tongjiang, you can only go out and mobilize soldiers and horses from other states and counties, even if you take the city, you can't completely annihilate the traitors, and you will miss the current good situation."
"It's a good situation, Tongjiang was taken by traitors, you actually said it's a good situation?"
"My lord doesn't know, if these traitors are wandering around, disturbing the people, not to mention, the power will be bigger and bigger, our government wants to exterminate them, the difficulty will be greatly increased, if they capture Tongjiang, our government has nothing to say, the thief leader Wang Shixing and accomplices will think that the government is weak and powerless, take it lightly, and wait until the reinforcements of Chengdu Mansion arrive, we can weave a big net in Tongjiang, and break the thieves in a game." Hu Jun said bitterly.
After Hu Jun said these words, Liu Guoliang also calmed down, although he is a scholar, he does not know much about military affairs, but he is familiar with the terrain of Sichuan, if these traitors are driven out of Tongjiang City, they will definitely wander around, disrupt the order, in the process of destruction and flow, they will strengthen themselves, but if they surround Tongjiang City and break the enemy in one fell swoop, they will have no worries, and they can also give an explanation to the imperial court.
Liu Guoliang, who calmed down, waved his hand and asked Hu Jundao: "Then what do you think we should do now, is it possible to do nothing and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Chengdu." ”
"My lord, what we need to do most now is to leave Wang Shixing and the others in Tongjiang."
"How do you keep the traitor in Tongjiang?" Liu Guoliang said suspiciously.
"Your Excellency should immediately order all prefectures and counties to renovate their armaments and close the city gates, and we in Boryeong City should also implement a ban on speech, and the whole province of Boryeong Province must have a false impression that they are facing a great enemy to confuse the rebels." Hu Jun said.
"Could it be that the traitor Wang Shixing did not rebel because the government wanted to arrest him, but was ready to rebel a long time ago, if not, even if we create a false image, Wang Shixing will not know,." Liu Guoliang couldn't figure out how to understand this issue, the government had already caught the official who had reported the news to Wang Shixing, and according to him, it was Wang Shixing's rebellion after learning the news, and officials at all levels in the Baoning Mansion all agreed that Wang Shixing was forced to rebel, and there was no possibility of rebellion in advance.
"My lord, you are too worried, it is impossible for Wang Shixing to rebel in advance, and there will definitely be no thieves in our Baoning City, but my lord, you are thinking about it, Wang Shixing is the head of the Divine Sect, and there are no less than 10,000 believers in our Baoning Mansion, and he rebelled in Tongjiang, there will definitely be believers who will defect to him, in this way, are we still afraid that Wang Shixing will not know the situation in Baoning Mansion?"
Liu Guoliang adopted Hu Jun's suggestion, and as Hu Jun expected, Wang Shixing learned about the scene of Baoning Mansion from the mouths of believers.
In the hall of Tongjiang City County, the five people were arguing loudly.
They are all the incense masters of the various incense altars of the Divine Religion, and the focus of their argument now is whether to stay in Tongjiang, or to go out of Tongjiang and continue to advance to the south, the three people feel that they should stay in Tongjiang, but the other two incense masters feel that it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, they are weak, if they stay in Tongjiang, the imperial court's reinforcements are endless, and the strength in their hands is only so large, sooner or later, they will be exterminated by the imperial court, it is better to take advantage of the lack of preparation of the imperial court, continue to attack the city, recruit new believers to enter their rebel army, and strengthen themselves, Of course, as long as they are smart, they will feel that Tongjiang can't stay, but most of these traitors can't see through this, and most of the low-level believers of this rebel force are poor people in Tongjiang, and they don't want to leave their hometowns.
Just as the five of them were arguing, Wang Shixing came to the lobby.
The five incense masters immediately quieted down, bowed to Wang Shixing, and shouted in unison: "The Savior Bodhisattva came to the world to redeem all peoples." ”
Wang Shixing was wearing a robe that was said to be a robe but not a robe, and a robe was not a robe, wearing a high hat with a pattern of Buddha embroidered in the middle of the hat, his face was a little pale, and he looked like he still had a bit of fairy spirit, but as long as he was a Langzhong, he could see at a glance that the reason for the pale face of Wang Shixing was because of the hollowing out of his body by wine.
