Chapter 458: The world is in chaos
Wang Xiang nodded, Li Er's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "The other party can send capable people, I'm afraid that closing the city gate will not be able to trap them, but since they have other plans, they will definitely take the initiative to find us, I want to see who is so bold!" After calming down, Li Er returned to his usual wisdom.
The blockade of the city gate really had no effect, and the search of Chang'an City did not find Li Zhi's whereabouts, but a pair of soldiers made the people of Chang'an a little uneasy.
Li Er also knew that it would definitely not be easy for the other party's capable people to find them, so he lifted the blockade, withdrew the searching soldiers, and only sent a few capable people who were good at exploring to continue to search for Li Zhi's whereabouts.
However, a few days have passed, and there is no news for a day, and the other party has no other moves, and Li Er and Wang Xiang also feel a little troubled.
Wang Xiang said in a deep voice: "I will bring back King Zhao and a few capable people who brought him to the end of the world, and it is easier to find more people." ”
Among Li Er's many sons, Li Zhi has the best relationship with him, and Li Zhi has always regarded him as a friend, brother or teacher, no matter what, Li Zhi's accident Wang Xiang is no less anxious than Li Er.
Originally, they thought that the other party had other plans to arrest Li Zhiding, so they should have sent someone to contact Li Er quickly to make a request, but now that there has been no movement for a few days, they naturally can't continue to wait.
A major event such as the disappearance of the prince will not be hidden for a long time, and it will soon spread, and it will be even more troublesome when the time comes.
After Wang Xiang returned to the end of the world, he explained the situation to the people with the ability to cooperate in hunting sent by the Sanqi base, and then returned to Datang with Li Yuanba and others.
He bluntly said that there were important things that Li Yuanba and them needed to deal with, but the specific things were not explained. Seeing Wang Xiang's solemn face, Luo Hui didn't ask more, but asked him if he needed help.
As soon as Li Yuanba left, the hunting team naturally could not hunt in the shallow sea. Everyone was not idle. They organized themselves and eliminated the nests of the nearby basic large mutant herds.
After Wang Xiang returned to Datang with Li Yuanba and others, Li Er immediately sent them around to inquire about Li Zhi's news.
Li Zhi's news was not inquired, but he heard an astonishing news, several states and counties were reversed!
Li Er was still a little incredulous when he heard the news, and it wasn't until several people brought back the same news that Li Er was furious and immediately summoned the ministers to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters.
Li Er rubbed his temples with a gloomy expression.
"You should have heard about the rebellion in several states and counties, right?"
Such a big thing naturally can't be hidden, and the other party seems to be intent on making a big noise, I don't know that the ministers of the court and the central government know it, and even the people of Chang'an City know that the descendants of the prince have rebelled. And the momentum is huge, and it has been supported by many states and counties.
The eldest grandson Wuji spoke: "Your Majesty should immediately lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and don't let the rebels accumulate momentum." ”
Other ministers also opened their mouths to let Li Er send troops to quell the rebellion, and the rebels were in the name of the descendants of the crown prince, and the momentum was not small, and it was rumored that the descendants of the prince were really descended from heaven, protected by divine power, and the mighty and extraordinary one person could defeat thousands of troops.
Hearing these rumors, Li Er and His Royal Highness Wang Xiang glanced at each other, and three words rose in their hearts at the same time - the one with the ability.
Judging from the rumors, the so-called descendant of the prince should be the capable person, and in the name of the descendant of the prince and the identity of the capable person, it is indeed very inflammatory. And they have obviously been plotting for a long time, no wonder so many states and counties responded to as soon as they made a move.
"Which states and counties have defected to the rebels?"
Li Er controlled the anger in his heart. He asked.
The guard sent to inquire about the news said respectfully: "According to the news that I just came back, a total of eight prefectures and counties have defected to the rebels, Qianzhou, Huizhou, Maozhou, Yangzhou, ......."
"Yangzhou has also defected to the rebels?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but ask, the faces of the other ministers were also difficult to see, Yangzhou's prosperity was not weaker than Chang'an, and Yangzhou has always been an important place for soldiers, with a lot of soldiers, and the most important thing is that Yangzhou is not far from Chang'an, if Yangzhou really takes refuge in the rebels, the situation will be much more severe.
Hearing that Wang Xiang of Yangzhou was also a little surprised, he also planned to go to Yangzhou to see and see when he went south to Xunzhou fiefdom, but later missed it because of the warehouse change, but he didn't expect Yangzhou to have taken refuge in the rebels.
How does Maozhou sound a little familiar. Wang Xiang muttered secretly, and suddenly remembered that Maozhou belonged to Lingnan, and it was not far from his fiefdom Xunzhou, and he suddenly panicked, Wu Shun and Xiao Loli were still in Xunzhou!
I hope Lao Cheng and Chang Daren are all right with them. Wang Xiang could only pray secretly, and decided to send a strong team of capable people to Xunzhou to pick them up, this time the rebel force is not trivial, and dare to rebel must have confidence, I am afraid that there are many people with ability, Wang Xiang is not at ease to let them stay in Xunzhou.
Wang Xiang was still thinking about it, and Li Er had already decisively ordered: "General Li Jing led 50,000 troops to Luoyang immediately, and Haitang was the second." ”
Luoyang is a necessary place between Yangzhou and Chang'an, Li Er's arrangement is very reasonable, the reason why they did not directly lead troops to attack Yangzhou is because Yangzhou has a lot of troops, the city defense is strong and difficult to attack, and Li Er does not know how many capable people the rebels have.
Since the battle with the Turks and Tubo, he has already understood that it is the ability that can decide the outcome of the war now, Li Yuanba went out to inquire about Li Zhi's news has not returned, and he is unwilling to risk attacking Yangzhou without knowing the details of the opponent's ability.
Later, Li Er sent other troops to various prefectures and counties to support, and sent people to summon Li Yuanba back to the palace, as long as Li Yuanba returned, he would launch an attack on the prefectures and counties occupied by the rebels.
There was only one thing that made him feel very uneasy, and that was Li Zhi, who he had almost guessed that was captured by the rebels.
One by one, the generals were ordered to set off, and only civil officials and a few military generals were left in the main hall, and the eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "Although the rebels are in the name of the descendants of the crown prince, they should not be able to persuade so many states and counties to join them." ”
Fang Xuanling also nodded and said: "Yes, don't talk about other states and counties, but the governors of Qianzhou and Huizhou are all veterans who followed Your Majesty to fight everywhere in the early years and are loyal to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is not thin on them, there is no reason for them to suddenly join the rebels, strange, strange." ”
Hearing this, Li Er and Wang Xiang thought of a person at the same time, and they were satisfied. Although the governors of Qianzhou and Huizhou are veterans of the battlefield, they are all ordinary people, and they can't resist the confusion of satisfaction without defense.
Thinking of this, Li Er and Wang Xiang were both nervous, since the rebels could control eight states and counties in this way, it was possible to control more states and counties!
