After appreciating the dance of Liu Liniang and Sima Xuan'er dancing together, Liu Yu also felt that this trip was not in vain, but it was a pity that he could not get what he wanted to embrace the double beauty for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. Back in the palace, Sima Xuan'er was still reminiscing about the scene when she danced the drum with Liu Liniang before, in her opinion, this day is the most meaningful after learning dance for so many years.

The stinky chess basket plays chess with the stinky chess basket, and whose chess stinks more. And everyone in dance naturally wants to compete with the dance master to prove that what they have learned in their lives is not in vain.

Although Sima Xuan'er had already guessed the relationship between Liu Yu and Liu Liniang, she was very knowledgeable and didn't say anything. When she returned to the palace, she was silent, and even Li Sha'er asked her to conceal it.

The time soon came to the end of November, and since Liu Liniang became the nominal leader of the Three Puritans in Xiaohualou, the new teachings compiled by Liu Yu spread within the Three Puritans. Since the beginning of the purging of the Three Puritans for more than half a month, Liu Yu has also been observing the changes in the situation, and he will also give him feedback on the internal situation of the Three Puritans.

By the end of November, peace had been restored in Chang'an City, the original martial law had become a curfew, and the lives of the people of Chang'an City had tended to be normal. In Chang'an City, there is contempt for "cults" everywhere, and even Huazi can say the great harm of cults, Liu Yue knows that this is the credit of Jingzhao Mansion, Wang Hu has done a good job in publicizing this matter, and he has done everything that should be done.

Since late November, the first batch of officials stationed in the six local ministries has also returned.

The group of people who came back basically went to the place to go through the motions and take a look at the customs. It is said that it is to purge the Three Puritans. Many officials did not even see the shadow of the Three Puritans. He had already gone home. However, Liu Yu obviously didn't let them go so easily, the first batch of people from the six departments had just returned to their homes in Chang'an City, and before their buttocks were hot, Liu Yu had already convened them in the Yaqian Palace, and asked them to write out the experience and summary of the local purges of the Three Puritans within one day, and they would hand it in at the court meeting the next day.

Liu Yu also made it clear that if anyone writes badly. If it is perfunctory, there is no need to be an official.

When these officials heard that they were all in danger, they were really afraid that Liu Yu would take the opportunity to purge the hostile political parties in the Qing Dynasty, and they were all afraid of provoking fire.

Among the people who came back, there were no Shangshu of the six departments, and the leaders were all at the level of squires and adjutants, and Liu Yu also specially asked the principals of the six departments to stay in the local area for more time and understand more about the people's livelihood.

Since Li Yannian left Chang'an City, Li Sha'er has never asked about her father, and it seems that she doesn't care about her family at all. However, Liu Yu found that in private, Li Shaer received a letter from home. seems to be talking about Li Yannian. Li Yannian couldn't get rid of it at the beginning, his wife was separated, and he married several concubines after becoming an official in the court, and there were already concubines who gave birth to children for him. In other words, Li Sha'er now has a half-brother and sister, and now that the Li family's family is not there, and the Li family is withering, the Li family naturally asks for help from Li Sha'er, who is already a woman in the palace.

At the dinner table, Liu Yu also asked Li Shaer if there was anything wrong at home, Li Shaer said that there was nothing wrong, but in private, Li Shaer also showed his family to him, Liu Yu learned that Li Yannian cut off contact with the family after leaving Chang'an City, and did not even write a letter back, and her aunts were worried that her husband would not come back, so they asked her about Li Yannian, but because of the deep palace compound, Li Shaer's aunt could only write a letter and send the letter to the palace because of the relationship.

"After your father left Chang'an City, he didn't have any contact with the family?" After reading Li Shaer's letter, Liu Yu felt a little surprised.

Li Sha'er nodded and didn't say much, although on the surface she pretended not to care about the family, but in fact, she really couldn't break off the Li family's family affection. No matter how muddy Li Yannian was before, it was also her father.

On weekdays, Li Yannian's father also loves the women in the family, and there are also rumors in the DPRK and the central government, saying that in order to continue the family bloodline, he takes care of the women in the family in every way, and some old ministers also joke that after all, Li Yannian is an old cow eating tender grass. After Li Yannian left Chang'an City, he gave a lot of reports to the imperial court, and these reports did not need to be written by Shangshu himself, so Liu Yu didn't know whether Lu Dao was written by Li Yannian, or whether Li Yannian had "defected".

"Go back, I'll find someone to meet your father in the local area, and ask him to bring peace to the people of the Li family, so that they don't have to worry about it for the time being."

Liu Yu came out with the letter from home, and directly found Qu Zhu, who was in charge of intelligence work, and asked him to investigate whether Li Yannian was still in the place. Let him find out and come back as soon as possible.

Liu Yu also knew the danger of the defection of the ministers of the Imperial Court, and when he didn't expect it at all, Yang Lie, whom he trusted, suddenly disappeared and disappeared without a trace. In any case, he is engaged in intelligence investigation of other people's unknown secrets, and others must be investigating him, and he must be careful about these things. For example, in the investigation of intelligence, he divided the characters into Qu Zhu, Qu Shu and Liu Liniang, and then analyzed the situation by synthesizing intelligence. Among the three systems of intelligence, Liu Liniang is the most accurate about the interior of the Three Puritans.

On the second day after Qu Zhu began to investigate whether Li Yannian had defected, on the first day of the lunar month, Liu Yu suddenly received a tip from Liu Liniang, saying that there was an unusual gathering activity within the Sanqing Sect, and it had begun two days ago, and the direction of the gathering was the county seat of Lang County, where Liu Yu had been to once.

In Liu Liniang's residence, Liu Liniang passed on the first-hand information she got from within the Three Puritans to Liu Yu, this news, in fact, the people of the Su Zhe faction of the Three Puritans were also keeping it secret, and the order issued from above was to let the people who were oppressed by the imperial court follow God's guidance to go west. At the beginning, Liu Liniang just analyzed that this was the Su Zhe faction in order to transfer the disciples around Chang'an City, but she never thought that on the first day of the lunar month, Liu Liniang got the latest news, saying that these disciples were actually gathering in the direction of Lang County.

"How many people are there?" Liu Yu asked directly.

"There are about 10,000 people around Chang'an City, and if you add the Guanzhong cultists, it will be about 30,000 or 40,000." Liu Liniang said with palpitations, "Fortunately, we got the news early, and the slave family has become the sect leader, so some of the people below have notified the lowest level of the sect members to suspend their worship activities this time. But even so. Tens of thousands of people still went to Lang County. Twelve less. The slave family estimated that this group of people was going to Lang County to rebel against the imperial court. ”

Liu Yu thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time he nodded. Liu Liniang's analysis is basically what he thinks, because the imperial court's purge action is too fast and violent, from top to bottom, the Three Puritans have reached the point where they can no longer be accommodated, Su Zhe feels that the general trend is coming, and he has to launch such a gathering and worship in advance. to accomplish the purpose of gathering events to rebel against the imperial court.

Liu Yu sighed: "Pity these believers, they still think that they go to worship and take refuge, but they are actually being used by others without knowing it. Embark on the road of rebelling against the imperial court by force, and they will have no way to live at all. ”

Liu Yue did not immediately transfer troops to Lang County, not because he was not worried about Liu Liniang's information, but because Liu Yue was afraid that this was a smoke released by Su Zhe, so he deliberately let him know the way and divert the tiger from the mountain. Su Zhe must have a comrade in the DPRK and China, and he may not have one in the army. If he transferred the elite division of the imperial court to Lang County, it would cause a military vacuum in Chang'an City. Although Lang County is not far from Chang'an City, the garrison troops around Chang'an City are closer to Chang'an City. Once the rebels entered the city for some reason and took control of Chang'an City, even if Liu Yu was in Lang County, he would not be able to knock on the gate of Chang'an City for a while. And at that time, once Chang'an City falls into the hands of Su Zhe, the question of orthodoxy will change, and it will be difficult to say who the world will turn to.

Liu Yu convened a military meeting to discuss the rebellion of the Three Qing Sects, and it was the new army that had been supporting the martial law in Chang'an City these days, but this time Liu Yu did not want to transfer the new army of his absolute cronies to Lang County to quell the rebellion.

"After careful consideration, General Ben will use the backing of the troops of the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion to go to Lang County, if there is a disturbance among the homeless people, or if there is an armed confrontation, it will be dealt with as a bandit!"

Those who participated in the military meeting did not necessarily include Liu Yu's descendants, but also some of them were descendants of the generals of the old dynasty, or the descendants of the border army, although they were nominally Liu Yu's subordinates, but they had always been inseparable from Liu Yue, and Liu Yue had the final say on which army Liu Yue would send to quell the rebellion. However, any order given by Liu Yu, these people will also figure out whether it is a difference between relatives and relatives, or another purpose.

This time, Liu Yu transferred the two major garrison armies of Chang'an City, although it seems normal, after all, Lang County is seventy miles away from Chang'an City, and it is within the patrol range of these two armies, but after all, the elite army that everyone in Chang'an City knows now is the new army. Is it worth it to keep the elite and send a subordinate army to quell the rebellion?

Liu Yu said that the atmosphere at the meeting was not very good. Some of the generals of the old dynasty seemed to be making a fuss, but they did not dare to make trouble publicly, but only put forward some opinions, such as questioning whether there would be any bandits this time. Moreover, they also put forward some requirements for weapons, such as upgrading some weapons, or insufficient training or something, in short, they are asking Liu Yu difficulties and conditions.

The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, but this time they went to Lang County, which is less than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, and the fast horses can run back and forth in a day. In Liu Yu's opinion, these generals don't know each other.

Liu Yu also expected that there would be people who would have opinions, no matter what army Liu Yue transferred, other armies would think of something unfavorable to themselves, the soldiers of this year are very sensitive, they not only pursue the easy, but also do not want to be cannon fodder, both want to make meritorious contributions and are afraid that the horse leather shroud will not come back to the battlefield. In general, the soldiers themselves are self-contradictory, and it is no wonder that they are satisfied with what they do.

"Whether there is anything to do, don't worry about you." Liu Yu said, "This counterinsurgency is not a small fight, although it is not a fierce Turkic cavalry, nor is it an elite army against the king, but they are all ordinary people in Guanzhong." If you can be merciful, be as merciful as possible, and don't do anything to your fellow man, maybe you will have your parents and brothers in public. ”

As soon as Liu Yu said this, the generals of the various armies felt that this was a hot potato and could not take it. If the counterinsurgency fails, it is a dereliction of duty, but if the counterinsurgency succeeds, it will harm the people of Guanzhong, anyway, it is a two-sided and unflattering thing, and whoever does it should not be his turn to do it.

Those who had this idea accounted for the majority of the attendees.

"In this counterinsurgency, a military order must be issued, if any army or department fails to complete the established strategy, and any mistakes occur in the counterinsurgency, it will be dealt with in accordance with military law, whether it is a soldier or a general, it will be treated equally, how to punish and how to punish!"

After all, not all the people attending the meeting are Liu Yu's descendants, and such a meeting has lost the solemnity of the previous Liu Yu's descendant meetings. Some generals even felt disdainful, thinking that Liu Yue was making a big fuss, but that there was a group of displaced people who wanted to go in the direction of the southwest. was regarded by Liu Yu as going to gather things to rebel against the court? What is the military order. Could it be that the regular army of the imperial court. Can't even deal with a rabble? Are those outcasts not afraid of death?

Only Liu Yue knew that although the Guanzhong cultists gathered, even if they rebelled, they could only uncover the pole and cut the wood as soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was not strong, and even there were many women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled among the disciples. But behind these people was a well-trained regular army, and Liu Yu still remembered what he saw when he first visited the palace of the king of Chu. The rigor under Su Zhe's rule is as harsh as a pathological maniac. In this context, it is not impossible for Su Zhe to cultivate an army that is completely loyal to him and can fight the imperial court. If these vanguard forces are victorious, they will make the followers behind them think that they are invincible, and then a group of outcasts can overthrow an entire regular army.

Liu Yu had heard of it a long time ago, some "rebels" in the old society under the guise of religion, they thought it was a bronze wall with yellow paper on their chests, and the tightness of not being afraid of death was not pretended, because they really believed it. People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death.

Liu Yu called a person to the front. Let him share some of his thoughts on quelling this rebellion, and wait for this man to come to the front. Everyone looked curious, because this person was none other than Yonghou Huo, who was usually above the top and didn't pay attention to anyone.

"What am I for? I haven't fought with them, so how can I feel? Huo Yi shouted at Liu Yu for advice.

Liu Yu sneered and said, "You are really forgetful." I forgot that I was in Yuzhou City, I was trapped for more than three months, I couldn't enter Lingnan, and I couldn't return to Jiangyou! How long has it been since I remember nothing? ”

Huo Yi immediately jumped up and raised his head: "You mean that this time it will be flat, is it those rabbit cubs?" ”

Liu Yu didn't answer, and said to everyone: "Do you see it, Huo Erhu, who thinks he is invincible, is also unreachable one day, and he also knows that there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains." Ask General Ben, if it is the group of people this time, that General Ben can tell you for sure that it is the mysterious armed forces that made Huo Erhu shrink in Yuzhou City for several months! ”

When Huo Yi heard this, his face was a little impatient, Liu Yu was using his sad things as a negative teaching material, so that the people under his hands could not be proud of their achievements, and they could not be above the top. Huo Yi pursed his lips and returned to the team, although he didn't say anything more, but he had already decided in his heart that this time he would go to quell the rebellion no matter what, and he would avenge his three-month suffering in Yuzhou City.

The military meeting did not last long, because the gathering of the Three Puritans was already happening, and if it was to be resolved as soon as possible, it was necessary to send troops immediately, and to travel lightly and quickly to Lang County, so as to stop it before Su Zhe used these people to gather things.

As soon as the meeting ended, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion immediately set off to arrive outside Lang County before the early morning of the next day. The generals made a military order, and they were also a little apprehensive in their hearts, after they learned what happened to Huo Yao, they suddenly became less confident, and became a little cringe.

As for Huo Yi, he went to Liu Yu as soon as he broke up the meeting and expressed his desire to take revenge, but he was choked back by Liu Yu's words: "You don't think it's enough to lose people, and you plan to lose it again?" ”

"I ...... Why am I ashamed? At that time, I was in Yuzhou City, although I didn't destroy them, but they didn't destroy me either, I waited in the city every day for them to come out and fight with me, but they just didn't come......"

Liu Yu listened to Huo's tone, this was to feel good about himself and make excuses for his failure.

"Let me ask you, what if you go this time and lose again?"

"What else can I do?" Huo Yi thought that Liu Yu was going to make a radical general, and said, "It's really not good, you cut off my head, the master's head is long and strong, and he won't give you a handle to cut it." ”

"When am I going to cut off your head?" Liu Yu didn't have a good breath and said, "You haven't thought that if you go again this time and fail, not only will you lose face, but you won't even be able to raise your head in the future?" At that time, the military superiority of the entire Dashun Dynasty will be discredited because of your defeat, the soldiers will not have self-confidence, and the future territory of the Dashun Dynasty will also be divided by those foreign enemies......"

Huo Yi frowned and asked, "Isn't it just a battle, is it so serious?" You don't want me to go, do you? But I can't even guarantee that I will win, and you send those who are not sent to death? ”

Liu Yuxin said, if you go, you will be sent to death, but people may not be sent to death. Liu Yue understands Huo Yao's character, he is the kind of person who likes to take advantage of victory to chase, once Huo Yi encounters a little setback, he is more nested than a homeless mouse. Even Liu Yu thought that when he was in Yuzhou City, it was not that Huo Ill had no chance to win, but that he was so afraid that he didn't even dare to go out of the city.

"So you just wait. Wait for the soldiers and horses of the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion to go first, and they can't be pacified, and then let everyone in the world know the ferocity of this group of rebels, and then you will take the troops. When the time comes, it is good for you to win and raise the prestige of our country, but even if you are defeated, no one in the army will look down on you. It's better than you going first, and losing face after defeat. ”

Huo Yi's attitude was quite resolute, but when he heard Liu Yu say this, even he couldn't help but nod and said, "Pay attention to this...... Good. The master just waited for them to be beaten into water dogs, and then led troops to clean them up. Hehe, the master has always been so capable. ”

Liu Yu sighed, although the Huo disease in front of him was a little older, but in the final analysis, he still couldn't be a marshal, he could only be a pioneer. More than brave, but the brain lacks a string. (To be continued......)
