Chapter 10 Re-entering the Rebellion and Putting Down the Rebellion in Dezhao

(Thank you Wu Xiaowu for your tip~), a small change every day.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the 30th of August, at the end of the night, according to the request made in the letter, Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing were not allowed to take other soldiers with them, and went to the west of the city alone. And before the hour came, they went out to the west of the city with trepidation.

In less than half an hour, the two came to a small dense forest in the west of the city, Xiang Mei inadvertently glimpsed the steep mountains in the west of the city, this place is a good place, barren mountains and mountains, there is no moonlight, at a glance, there are only a few sparse and sparse houses around, it is very terrifying, if it is ordinary, many people will not pay attention.

He said: "Brother Zhan, I don't know if it's good or bad?" ”

"Brother Xiang, I don't know, I just hope that my family is safe, everything else is not as important as them!"

……

After that, the two came to the grove in the west of the city as scheduled, outside an ordinary house, barren grass, extremely decayed, and desolate.

According to the letter, Xiang Mei opened the door in fear and knocked nine times, only saying: "It's unintentional to come here, it's better to go out and talk!" ”

Hearing the sound, the door opened suddenly, and at this time, there was a man dressed in black, wearing a mask, and went out to greet him, and the man saw Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing with weapons, and said: "Yes, our people have seen it just now, and you really didn't bring anyone, just in case...... You can't bring weapons with you? ”

"Then listen to you, I don't know where our family is now? Safe? Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing asked urgently.

"Rest assured, your family is safe, but our leader has something to say about this time." This man in black.

"I wonder what your leaders have to say? As long as our family is safe, we are willing to do anything. "Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the safety of their families.

"You are willing to do it, the young master of my family is waiting for your words, he is naturally happy after hearing it, but...... I beg you to wait a moment, and then the young master of my family will let our leader talk to you. ”

"Okayβ€”" Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing said helplessly.

The man in black turned around, smiled, and went to ask the snake to come and come.

Slashing Snake put on a puppet mask today, saw that the two had arrived, and then walked into the deserted hut.

Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing saw each other and asked, "This hero, I don't know what to ask for, come quickly, we are willing to do things for the hero." ”

"You are Xiang Mei, Zhan Jing, and the two generals beside Li Chongjin?" Slash Snake asked.

"The two of us are indeed, I don't know what offended the hero, I want to ...... our family" Xiang Mei asked, but before he finished speaking, he lacked confidence, and now that the family is in the hands of the mysterious person, it is better not to collide.

"This, as long as you do something for the young master of my family, our young master will naturally ensure the safety of your family safe and sound, but now they are temporarily wronged, and when there is good news from your side, they will wait for good news in the house. Two, don't panic, the young master of my family is an honest person, and what he says will naturally be done. ”

Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing were very puzzled, and said suspiciously: "I don't know what we will do for the young master of your family before we are willing to let my family go?" ”

"This ......" Slash Snake took out a letter from his cuff, and then handed it to Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing, "There is a detailed plan here, you will act according to the above plan, if nothing goes wrong, you will naturally have no worries about your life, and if this thing cannot be done, hmph-you don't want to see your family again." ”

What Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing got in their hands was a plan drawn up by Zhao Dezhao, and the two of them hurriedly opened it, and then browsed it at a glance. After reading this plan, the two of them were shocked, their eyes were straight, how did these people know that Li Chongjin was going to rebel, and they were just trying to provoke their boss to rebel, because Li Chongjin had already had this thought.

The two said in unison: "This ...... I don't know if it's Kaifeng's ......"

The snake slashed and said, "Nothing like this! How's that? Do you think your family's lives or something else is important? Kaifeng has long known the thoughts of the Li thief, and the two of you have not returned to the court, so don't be in the same stream with the traitor. ”

The two bowed their heads and said: "Good man, please rest assured, the two of us will implement this plan, as long as the good man spares my family's life, the two of us will definitely be repaid for being cattle and horses in the future." ”

"You will be a cow and a horse in the future, and the young master of my family will not care, but for now you must do what is said, otherwise, you will know the end. By the way, I would like to remind you one last time: Don't let others know about today's events, otherwise you will know what the rules are. You two go back to the house now, and don't let Li Chongjin find out. ”

"Yes! Thank you guys, the two of us will be deadly! ”

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, then stepped out of the house and went back.

_______________________________________

The people sent by Li Chongjin over there followed him for a day and a night, but found nothing, and Li Chongjin was not worried, he was now waiting for news from the Tang Kingdom.

At the same time, Li Chongjin sent someone to write a secret letter to Li Jing, the lord of Tang, and also arrived in Jiangning Mansion.

The herald outside the palace brought the envoy of the Huainan Festival of the Song State to the palace.

"You are Li Chongjin's envoy?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This is the handwritten letter that our envoy Li Jiedu handed over to the lord of the country, Your Majesty might as well take a look. The messenger took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to the chamberlain beside Li Jing.

The chamberlain then handed it over to Li Jing for a read. Li Jing tore open the secret letter, and then took it out, only to see that it was written that he probably wanted to send troops to help Li Chongjin, and he only needed to help him send troops, as well as 50,000 stones, grains and grass, and 50,000 soldiers and armor equipment, and after the matter was completed, Li Chongjin would return the fourteen states of Jiangbei to the Tang State.

Although Li Jing dreamed of recovering the fourteen states of Jiangbei, but now the Great Song Dynasty regime is very stable, in June, Zhao Kuangyin quelled Li Yun's rebellion, and the entire Great Song Dynasty court was peaceful. If Li Yun let him raise troops in the first month, he would definitely agree, but isn't sending troops like this now looking for death, if it is a failure, I am afraid that Zhao Kuangyin will be angry at that time, and rush across the Yangtze River with the sailors and go straight to Jiangning Mansion, I am afraid that the Tang Kingdom will be in danger. Li Chongjin, this person pulled me Tang Guo to start, I don't know what kind of heart I have.

At this moment, Li Jing saw that the messenger was anxiously waiting for the next sentence, and he was very angry when he saw this, and roared: "What is the heart of your family master, I don't agree with what the letter says. Tang Guo is safe and sound now, naturally he won't touch the tiger's buttocks, you still go back and tell your lord that you will raise troops to help, I won't agree, let him die of this heart, get out-"

The envoy was still waiting for the good news just now, but after listening to Li Jing's words at this moment, he said: "Your Majesty - please be sure to send troops, and when the time comes, my lord will definitely cede the fourteen states of Jiangbei to the Tang State according to the letter." ”

"You get out - go back to Yangzhou with the letter from your lord, I won't help Li Chongjin."

"Your Majestyβ€”"

"Someone, knock Li Chongjin's people out of the hall-"

The people around Li Jing entered the temple, and then drove away Li Chongjin's envoy.

"Your Majestyβ€”" The messenger's voice echoed through the main hall, but he was still dragged out of the hall by the guards.

The envoy tidied up his messy clothes, then sighed, shook his head, turned his back, took a boat from the ferry port of Jiangning Mansion, and returned to Yangzhou City.

On 1 September, the envoy sent by Li Chongjin had already arrived in the palace of Li Jiedu, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.

Li Chongjin saw it and asked eagerly, "How is Li Jing?" ”

"Li Jing won't send troops!" Then the envoy told Li Chongjin everything he had seen and heard in Jiangning Mansion.

Li Chongjin's body went limp, and he almost fell backwards. Li Jing didn't agree to the request, it seems that Li Jing has concerns, but he has been preparing for so long here, how can he give up, and in eight days it will be the time to raise the army, and when the time comes-

In the Li Mansion, Zhao Dezhao heard about this, and he said with a smile: "It seems that history has not changed, but the day I let you raise the army, you will be defeated." ”

After that, everything about Yangzhou was notified to the capital Wu Desi in the form of flying pigeon letters.

On September 5, Kaifeng Wude Division received a secret report from Zhao Dezhao, and then presented it to the Son of Heaven, Zhao Kuangyin read it, and was very satisfied with Zhao Dezhao's plan, so he did not move a single soldier, which was beneficial to stabilizing the situation in Yangzhou.

And over there, since Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing knew the mysterious man's plan, they planned to part ways with Li Chongjin and draw a clear line, and now the most important thing is to pacify all Li Chongjin's soldiers and horses, and then on September 9, the day Li Chongjin raised his troops, carry out a mutiny to control Li Chongjin, and the rest of the things are not mentioned in the plan.

Li Chongjin waited from 1 September to 8 September, and he was about to start his army tomorrow, and he summoned two generals, Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing, and his staff Zhai Shouxun to discuss the matter of starting troops tomorrow.

"God help me, now that the emperor's eldest son is in the Li Mansion, he will step up manpower and keep an eye on Zhao Dehe, so that we will have a trump card in our hands."

"What the general said is very true! Ministers wish our emperor a victory! The three of them got up, knelt on the ground, and said.

"Hahaha, flat body-"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them got up, looked at Li Chongjin, and said in their hearts, don't blame us tomorrow.

And that night Li Chongjin Mansion was brightly lit, Zhao Dezhao and a few people still lived in Li Mansion, it seems that Li Chongjin is going to rebel tomorrow, it is estimated that he will take action tonight, but Zhao Dezhao pretended not to know, and stayed comfortably in Li Mansion, Li Chongjin is a smart person, he will not hurt himself, he can just be used as a trump card, a trump card to blackmail the court.

After midnight, Li Chongjin sent ten people to surround Zhao Dezhao's room, and Zhao Dezhao had already found out about it, he pretended to be panicked, and came out of the room wearing obscene clothes.

"Who are you?" Zhao Dezhao asked in a panic.

"Your Highness, Yangzhou City has not been peaceful recently, please stay in the room with Your Highness, there is a general, please rest assured."

"Oh? Is it, what about Lee Chongjin? ”

"The general is not in the house! Please don't leave the room, or your highness's life will be in danger! ”

"You're forcing the palace."

"Huh-"

……

On the ninth day, the sky was cloudy, without much brilliance, Li Chongjin couldn't bear the loneliness and ambition, issued a document, crusading against Zhao Kuangyin's shameless behavior, and then claimed to be a relative of the Zhou emperor, Li Chongjin planned to put King Cao on the throne first, and then let him let him be the emperor himself.

Li Chongjin was full of confidence, he planned to separate Yangzhou from the Song State first, and then implement the secession step by step, and he took an oath in the military camp.

However, at this moment, most of the people in the barracks have long been controlled, and in the past few days, Ye Qiqi and others have been in the barracks, preaching the benevolence and righteousness of the court every day, but benevolence and righteousness alone are not enough, and then they said that after a few days, it will be a good opportunity for them to advance, and Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing naturally know about it, so the two of them secretly helped them, but they didn't mention how they were promoted.

Today is just a ceremony, a time to fight against the Song Dynasty and take an oath to start anew. The people in Yangzhou City were sincerely terrified when they found out, and they were looking forward to peace, not war.

Li Chongjin's text went out of Yangzhou, and then Liu Renzhan in ** got the news, so he led the army to Yangzhou City, intending to surround Li to save Zhao and concentrate his forces to annihilate Li.

And in the Li Mansion, Zhao Xin, Wan Song, and Zhao Dezhao personally went out to fight with the ten people, and after a desperate struggle, they killed ten people, and then Zhao Dezhao and others took this opportunity to find Wu Xiaowu, break out of the Li Mansion, and then take the talisman to mobilize Li Chongjin's army.

Li Chongjin is complacent, he makes his debut today, and tomorrow he will mobilize troops and horses to attack **, and then occupy Chuzhou, and then go north to attack Sizhou, and Liu Renzhan of Shouzhou is a hard bone, and he does not plan to compete with it first.

When he returned to the Li Mansion, he heard from his subordinates that Zhao Dezhao and others had broken through the Li Mansion and escaped, and Li Chongjin hurriedly sent someone to find Zhao Dezhao, and went to the room himself, ready to take the talisman.

However, the soldier was not there, and Li Chongjin was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he shouted that if the army was controlled, he Li Chongjin and his family's lives would be over, so he rushed to the camp outside the city, so that when the man arrived, he could control the army first.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao had already taken the talisman, appeased the soldiers, and then announced the edict of the Son of Heaven, promoted Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing to Zhonglang generals, promoted the official to one level, announced Li Chongjin as a traitor, and crusaded against Li Chongjin from now on.

Then led the troops to besiege Li Chongjin's mansion, and at this moment Li Chongjin and the Huainan army just met at the city gate, Li Chongjin asked people to quickly close the city gate, and then saw Zhao Dezhao sitting on a horse, that is, he ordered the archers to shoot at Zhao Dezhao, and the city army saw that this was not good, and surrounded Zhao Dezhao with shields.

Li Chongjin did not give up, he led some soldiers and horses in the city, wanted to go out of the city to meet the battle, and then took advantage of the chaos to capture Zhao Dezhao.

When Li Chong entered and exited the city gate, the two armies began to fight, and there was a battle outside the city, and Li Chongjin broke through the front line of the Huainan army and rushed to Zhao Dezhao's side.

And Zhao Dezhao saw that this situation was not good, he held the overlord gun in his right hand and the horse rope in his left hand to deal with Li Chongjin's onslaught.

Li Chongjin is happy, a ten-year-old kid still wants to fight against him, and he has been fighting for many years, Zhao Dezhao is naturally not a problem.

And Zhao Dezhao practiced martial arts all year round, and he held the overlord gun, one hid, hiding on the side of the horse, so that Li Chongjin stabbed in the air. Li Chongjin said in his heart, the little doll can do it, if others were pierced through the belly by me with a shot, the white knife would go in and the red knife would come out.

If he works hard, Zhao Dezhao is naturally not Li Chongjin's opponent, and Zhao Dezhao wants to give Li Chongjin a surprise, so that he can't defend himself, and he seems to have no power to parry, all of which are to avoid Li Chongjin's offensive, in fact, Zhao Dezhao is looking for a breakthrough, Li Chongjin's weakness.

Li Chongjin desperately resigned to Zhao Dezhao, but he was dodged by his dexterous horse kung fu, Li Chongjin's patience at this time has been worn out, he shouted, stabbed Zhao Dezhao hard, and Zhao Dezhao turned around, threw away the overlord gun, jumped on Li Chongjin's horse, and then took out a dagger and stabbed Li Chongjin's arm and back.

And Li Chongjin was in pain and almost threw Zhao Dezhao off the horse, and Zhao Dezhao took this opportunity to jump off the horse, picked up the overlord gun, and stabbed at Li Chongjin's mount, and the horse was pierced through the body by the overlord gun*.

Li Chongjin was thrown to the ground by a horse, and then Zhao Dezhao rushed over and pressed the head of the overlord gun against Li Chongjin's neck, and later Wan Song, Zhao Xin and others came and surrounded Li Chongjin.

"Li thief, don't be caught yet!"

"I, Li Chongjin, carelessly lost Jingzhou, but I didn't expect that the evening festival would not be guaranteed, and I was subdued by a little doll.

"Li Chongjin, didn't the court treat you well? Why do you rebel? ”

"I am the minister of the Zhou room, I was born as a Zhou person, and I am a ghost of the Zhou room when I die, Zhao Kuangyin, a thief, usurped the country of the Zhou room, and he still acted like a powerful man, and he wanted to subdue me Li, it was really wishful thinking."

"You are not allowed to insult the court and Your Majesty!" At this time, Zhao Xin heard it, took a knife, and cut off Li Chongjin's left arm.

"Ahh

"Zhao Xin, you-" Zhao Dezhao didn't know what to say, now that Zhao Xin had cut off Li Chongjin's left arm, he was also to blame, he deserved it, and then asked the doctor to treat Li Chongjin's injuries.

After Li Chongjin was captured, the situation in Yangzhou City suddenly stabilized again, and in the afternoon, Liu Renzhan's soldiers and horses also rushed over, but the rebellion had been quelled, Liu Renzhan smiled bitterly and went to Li's mansion to see Zhao Dezhao.

"The old minister has seen His Highness! His Royal Highness was mighty, and he put down the rebellion within one day, which made the old ministers admire. ”

"Thanks to the advice of Liu Lao and others, the situation in Huainan has been stabilized."

His Highness smiled. I heard that Li Chongjin was in a coma, I don't know what His Highness should do with it? ”

"If there is a split today, we should stabilize the interior, and this Yangzhou mutiny, Li Chongjin will die alone!"

"Your Highness is merciful, but now he has not woken up, and I don't know if he is happy or painful when he hears about it."

After that, Li Chongjin failed to wake up after all, he died, and in this way, the fluctuation of the situation in Yangzhou was just a small episode, and the people in the city were relieved.

Then Zhao Dezhao took out the holy decree of Zhao Kuangyin, the son of heaven, that Li Chongjin was dead, and the rest of the Li Mansion and the rebels would not be held accountable.

If Li Chongjin was still alive, he would definitely smile and say: "Zhao Yuanlang, what do you let the world think of me Li Chongjin, I rebelled and wanted to seize your country and help the Zhou Room, but in the end it still failed." You don't take my family's life, thank you for your kindness. Now that I have lost to you, it was a long time ago. O destiny, it cannot be violated! ”

After that, Zhao Dezhao issued an order to appease Li Chongjin's family and the soldiers in the army, and pardoned their capital crimes, and these people were very grateful.
