Let's talk about Xu Jingye's rebellion.

Xu Jingye and others raised an incident in Yangzhou, forged an edict, saying that they had changed to Yangzhou Sima, and then made Ji arrest Chen Jingzhi and other officials, in the name of Kuang Fu, opened the treasury, recruited soldiers, and opened the cell, wrapped up tens of thousands of Yangzhou prisoners, craftsmen, servants, etc., within a few days, they gathered 150,000 people, and the nearby counties also responded.

Immediately, with Wei Siwen and the mysterious Mr. He as the left and right military divisions, three mansions were set up, namely "Kuangfu Mansion", "Yinggong Mansion", and "Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion". Tang Zhiqi and Du Qiuren were appointed as the left and right Changshi, Li Zongchen and Xue Zhongzhang were the left and right Sima, and Luo Bin Wang was the secretary, and then he found a person who seemed to be the late deposed prince "Li Xian", saying that Li Xian was not dead, but he had to order the army to be the king.

You must know that Li Xian was abolished as a concubine when the former emperor Li Zhi was in power, and the world knows it. What's more, after Li Xian's death, the court mourned the world, proving that this person was dead. Now there is another "Li Xian", which really makes many Yangzhou people puzzled.

This is not counting, after Xu Jingye and others killed the long history Chen Jingzhi and the record of joining the army, Sun Chuxing, they wantonly looted the people's wealth, the rich households in Yangzhou were looted, and the shops in Yangzhou were looted by the rebels. Even Wuqing's property in Slender West Lake was looted, but fortunately, most of the property was moved to the old mansion in Shangyuan County. Otherwise, the losses will be heavy.

At this time, the three counties under the rule of Sima Li Chongfu of Chuzhou responded to the incident, and only Liu Xingju, a native of Xuyi County, did not obey. Xu Jingye listened to the words of Mr. He and Du Qiuren, and prepared to attack Changrun Zhuzhou first. First seized Jiangdong as the cause of the king, so he ordered Changshi Tang Zhiqi to garrison Yangzhou, and he divided his troops to attack Runzhou. At this time, Runzhou was in danger.

Wu Qing reorganized the army for three days, and personally led an army of 100,000 troops out of Luoyang City three days later, marched to Runzhou, and ordered Li Xiaoyi and Wei Yuanzhong to lead 200,000 troops and then march to Yangzhou.

Of course, according to Wu Qing's meaning, he only needs 10,000 elite soldiers to quell the war, but unfortunately, Empress Dowager Wu wants to make a big noise. wants to let people with different intentions in the world see the strength of her Empress Dowager Wu and kill the arrogance of those people.

The daily consumption of grain and grass by 300,000 troops is not a small number, not to mention the reward and pension after the war. But Empress Dowager Wu was not distressed at all. Wu Qing was also happy to do this, so he took the lead in leading an army of 100,000 to rescue Runzhou.

This time, except for Wu Yidao, who had gradually retired at home, who stayed behind to guard the Wu Mansion, the other guards followed. This is also Wu Qing's intention to train these people. These people may be of great use in the future. Coupled with Zuo Yulinwei's 3,000 generals, Wuqing's strength is very strong. Of course, this time the only woman who followed Wu Qing's side was Yushu, and this personal maid and lady made Wu Qing love it.

In fact, women are also like jade, and the more they play, the more they can't put it down.

Three days later, Wu Qing was inspecting the army, and the deputy general Ma Jingchen came to report that Runzhou had been captured by Xu Jingye. Wu Qing couldn't help but worry about the old mansion and belongings in Shangyuan County, and couldn't help asking, "Can they take Shangyuan County?" ”

Ma Jingchen bowed down and said, "Return to the general." Shangyuan County was attacked at night. ”

Wu Qing's heart suddenly tightened, a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, and he ordered: "Let the secret agent probe again, this general must know the movements of the thief at any time!" ”

Ma Jingchen hurriedly bowed down and took the order out.

Wu Qing only prayed in his heart, hoping that Xu Xiaoying could withdraw as soon as possible, and he didn't know if the tens of millions of taels of gold and silver in the old mansion could be saved, but he hoped that Ying Wei would be smarter.

Immediately he beat the drum to gather the generals, and the generals arrived in the tent, Wu Qing glanced around, and said: "The thieves attacked the city and plundered the land, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil. General Ben was reported that Runzhou had been broken. I wait for the daily journey of less than 200 miles, such a speed, when can we arrive! Order the Huotou army to cook meat every day, march for 300 miles, day and night, and rush to Yangzhou! If there is negligence, it will be severely punished! ”

"Obey the general's orders!" All the generals understood Wuqing's methods, so they naturally did not dare to slack off.

So he drove overnight and went to Yangzhou.

Li Xiaoyi, under the construction of the supervising army Wei Yuanzhong, asked Li Xiaoyi to lead 50,000 people as the vanguard, first attack Chuzhou, and then take Yangzhou in one go, then the first contribution to the counterinsurgency is theirs.

Li Xiaoyi is the son of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and he is the prince of Liang County after the clan, and he has some strategies. What's more, although he was appointed as the general of Zuo Yuchaowei, he hated the Empress Dowager Wu very much, and even hated the Wu family, although he didn't say it, he secretly hated it in his heart for a long time. What kind of character Wei Yuanzhong is, he has naturally already seen it, and if he can disgust Wuqing, why not do it? But how did they know that the Wuqing army traveled no less than 300 miles a day and had 80,000 cavalry. And on the second day, Wuqing ordered 20,000 infantry to escort grain and grass to the rear, and the cavalry each prepared enough dry food for five days, and galloped to Yangzhou with light horses.

However, on the fourth day, he came to Xuyi County thirty miles away. Wu Qing ordered people to set up camp and recuperate overnight.

The 80,000 cavalry of Wuqing traveled no less than 400 miles every day, and if it weren't for the distress of the war horses, they would have arrived early.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Qing ordered someone to take the map, looked at the vicinity of Yangzhou, and decided to take Xuyi first, go straight to Gaoyou, and then enter Yangzhou, breaking Xu Jingye's foundation.

As for the Jiangnan Ship Company in Shangyuan County, he doesn't have to worry, there are several warships there, and nearly 100,000 shipwrights also have some martial arts, and there are shadow guards stationed there, so it is difficult to break through without a 100,000 army in a short period of time. How many troops can he Xu Jingye have?

And judging from the current shape, except for the response of the Chuzhou Thorn History, no one responded, the clan was all on the sidelines, how could a few people with no strategy succeed, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated, and what he was worried about was that he had nearly 50 million taels of silver ingots and 1 million taels of gold ingots in the old mansion in Shangyuan County. That's seventy percent of his wealth over the years, if it is taken up by Xu Jingye, it will really be crying without tears.

According to the report from the secret agent, after Xu Jingye conquered Runzhou, he went to fight Changzhou, and did not stay in Shangyuan County for long, but left 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I don't know the movement.

Besides, Xu Jingye had long found out that the imperial court had appointed Wuqing as the chief of the march and Li Xiaoyi as the deputy commander, and attacked in two ways. Xu Jingye naturally knew that Wuqing was powerful, so he ordered Wei Siwen to garrison Runzhou, and he personally led an army of 100,000 to aid Yangzhou, and deployed a large army in the Gaoyou area.

Wu Qing is resting in the big tent of the Chinese army, visiting the Malay newspaper.

"Report to the general, Liu Xingju came to ask for a meeting!"

Wu Qing was stunned, this person is Haoqiang in Xuyi County, why didn't he die? Some time ago, Empress Dowager Wu named him a guerrilla general, and his younger brother Liu Xingshi was the assassin of Chuzhou. I didn't expect this person to escape the siege of thieves. It seems that this Liu Xingju is also quite capable, so he said: "Bring it in!" ”

Not long after, a big man in cloth clothes walked into the army, Wu Qing saw it from afar, and praised it in his heart, this man is about forty, born to be powerful and powerful, and at a glance he knows that he is a person who often practices martial arts.

"The villain has seen the general!" Someone bowed and saluted.

Wu Qing asked, "You are Liu Xingju?" ”

"It's the villain!" Liu Xingju arched his hand.

"Why are you here?" Wu Qing asked casually.

Liu Xingju arched his hand and said: "The villain is here, he just wants to serve under the general's account, and the villain knows that there is a secret way to enter the city!" ”

Wu Qing suddenly came to the spirit, there is such a good thing, if you enter through the secret passage, then Xuyi will not be able to attack itself, and it will save too much time tomorrow, so he asked: "Tell me, how can there be a secret passage in a good county?" ”

Liu Xingju arched his hand and said: "General Hui, this secret road is in the previous dynasty, the Huai River burst the embankment, flooded Xuyi, and later rebuilt the city after the underground formed a dark ditch, the exit of this dark ditch is just in the villain's house, and the entrance is on the cliff on the shore of Hongze Lake outside the city. ”

Wu Qing was silent for a moment and asked, "How many thieves are there in the county?" ”

Liu Xingju thought for a while and said: "The day before yesterday, there were about 5,000 people and horses who came to attack Xuyi, and after the villain was defeated, they fled into the reeds of Hongze Lake, and now I don't know how many. ”

Wu Qing frowned, I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city, but Xu Jingye shouldn't send heavy troops to garrison, so he ordered: "Pass Guo Zhiyun here!" ”

Not long after, Zuo Yu Lin Wei Zhonglang Guo Zhiyun came, he was wearing leather armor, after two years of training, he has become a lot calmer, into the military tent, then bowed: "The last general has seen the general!" ”

Wu Qing instructed: "You lead three hundred strong men tonight, disguise themselves as ordinary people, enter the secret passage with this General Liu, listen to the drums outside the city tomorrow, and then take the opportunity to seize the city gate, understand?" ”

"The last general commands!" Guo Zhiyun was not afraid at all.

Wu Qing looked at the guards again and ordered: "Heizi, the five tigers of the Gao family, the six of you can follow General Guo and listen to his dispatch!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" The five Gao replied.

Kuroko hurriedly said: "Master, before leaving, Mrs. E asked me to protect the master at any time!" ”

Wu Qing said: "If you don't go, I won't take you next time!" ”

Kuroko was in a hurry and said: "Master, I am gone, who will protect the master!" ”

Ya Jiu said: "How many of us are here, are you afraid that someone will murder your son?" ”

"I said you black charcoal, if you don't go, if you don't go, I'll go." Hui Ku now has long hair and a bun, but he is still a hot temper.

Heizi said: "I said monk, don't interject, I'll just go!" ”

Wu Qing said: "You must be careful, even if you can't get it, it doesn't matter, pay attention to safety!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, Liu Xingju led a few people out of the big tent, and Wuqing summoned the generals and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, the fifth watch will make dinner, and the sixth watch will attack the city!" Patrol soldiers tonight, strengthen patrols, scouts will not stop, if there is neglect, no forgiveness! ”

"Yes!"

The generals went to prepare, and Wu Qing also had to prepare to eat and rest.

Wu Qing was in the army, and he ate in the same pot with the soldiers, so the food was the same as the soldiers. After a while, a firehead army came to deliver the meal, and after Yushu, the "little guy" who was convex and backward took it, he tasted it first to prevent poisoning.

Over the years, Wu Qing has become cautious, after all, the army is complicated, once someone wants to harm himself, it is impossible to prevent it, originally this is like a task to be done by personal guards, but Yushu is not at ease, so he will try it himself. In this way, Yushu was even more favored by Wuqing. Even if you are in the military tent, you have to wait for Yushu closely. (To be continued......)
