Shao Jiayu thought about it in his heart, now the general trend is coming, looking at the posture of Duan Fei and others, as long as he doesn't agree, he will be killed on the spot, and then ascend and shout Shao Jiayu How is he, it is easy to persuade the following disciples as a saint and the great protector of the Heavenless Dharma, and when the time comes, he Shao Jiayu will die in vain, Shao Jiayu quickly made a decision, his whole body was loosened, he threw his portable weapon from his sleeve, and bowed his hand to Duan Fei with a wry smile: "Duan Guogong is above, I Shao Jiayu has served, and I will return to the court from now on, Don't dare to do anything wrong anymore. ”

Shao Jiayu chose to return to Shun, things will be much easier, the whole army of the White Lotus Sect is temporarily handed over to the Holy Maiden and the Great Protector of Heaven Luo Tianyou to take charge, they will send the ordinary people and the ordinary people who were coerced back to their hometowns in batches, Duan Fei and Su Rong rode to the city of Xi'an together, and called the city gate with a holy decree, Shaanxi political envoy Xia Zhishang and other officials personally greeted them, everyone was acquaintances, Duan Fei's first sentence made all the officials overjoyed.

"Rest assured, my lord personally went to the rebel camp and successfully persuaded the rebel bandits to surrender to the court, and now that the rebels have retreated, Xi'an will reopen the city gate early tomorrow morning, and everything will return to normal!" Duan Fei said.

Officials, including Xia Zhishang, were overjoyed, and some even cheered, everyone believed Duan Fei's words, and the news spread quickly, and the people lit firecrackers one after another to celebrate.

Duan Fei explained to Xia Zhishang and other officials: "This time the White Lotus Sect rebelled, the emperor intends to recruit and fight in parallel, those stubborn people will naturally be dealt with severely, those White Lotus Sect disciples who have returned to the imperial court or returned home on their own will no longer have to be hunted down, these White Lotus Sect disciples have their own arrangements in the future, you don't want to spoil my plan." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, indicating that they understood, Duan Fei explained some things again, and then hurriedly returned to the camp outside the city, and at dawn Duan Fei took Shao Jiayu and Luo Tianyou and a group of high-ranking White Lotus Sect leaders to leave Xi'an and return to Beijing.

As soon as Zhengde woke up, he opened his eyes and began to worry about the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and suddenly heard a report that Duan Fei was coming, Zhengde was surprised, and thought that something had happened again, but Duan Fei came with a smile on his face, bowed to Zhengde, and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Weichen rushed to Shaanxi day and night, looking up to the emperor Longwei, the White Lotus rebellion in Shaanxi has been quelled, the four protectors of the White Lotus Sect, Luo Tianyou, the great protector of Xuantian, Shao Jiayu, and some important sect leaders under the persuasion of Weichen to submit to the imperial court, Wechen has taken them to the imperial garden, does the emperor want to summon them to reward them in person? ”

Zhengde shouted with joy: "Really? Did the Shaanxi White Lotus rebels really quell it? ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Zhengde said happily: "Duan Aiqing is really the pillar of the country, everyone is trembling and worried that the White Lotus traitors are getting bigger and bigger, Duan Aiqing has quietly subdued one of them, I am very pleased, since those great protectors have come, let's announce them to see." ”

After a while, the head of the White Lotus Sect led by Luo Tianyou came to Zhengde, and they were all abolished by Duan Fei with a special method, and there was no threat at this time, Luo Tianyou and the others bowed to Zhengde and said: "The criminal Luo Tianyou (Shao Jiayu...... Knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Zhengde looked at this and that, his face was slightly relieved, in fact, his heart had already blossomed, even Taizu and Gaozong had never enjoyed such a feeling, the rebel leader of the White Lotus Sect actually knelt in front of him and shouted Long live!

Duan Fei coughed, and Zhengde came back to his senses and said, "Flat...... Get up, you can rein in the precipice and return to the imperial court, I am very happy, Duan Aiqing just said, he plans to take you to Shandong to appease the White Lotus Sect, I have pardoned your past sins, I heard that you all know how to observe the heavens and measure the good fortune, it just so happens that the Qintianjian is now unpresiding, I passed on a special decree, Feng Luo Tianyou is the Qintian supervisor, and the reward is 10,000 taels of silver, Shao Jiayu is the deputy of the Qintian supervisor, and the reward is 5,000 taels of silver, and the others are each repatriated to their hometowns, each with their own appointments, ranging from six to seven grades, and the reward is ranging from 2,000 taels to hundreds of taels of silver, The ministry will arrange the allocation, and if you have any other requirements, you can immediately mention them to me. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, I am happy and convinced, and there are no other requirements." Luo Tianyou said happily, at the beginning, Duan Fei promised him that he was just a hundred households with no quality or something, and he had to be incognito, but now he has become a dignified Qintian supervisor, a five-grade official, how many scholars can not get the honor of walking the right path in their lives, but his rebellion is easy to get, and he is glorifying his ancestors!

After these people went down, Zhengde happily said to Duan Fei: "Ah Fei, you can subdue these unruly rebel leaders without a single soldier, do you really have the blessing of the Bodhisattva?" Otherwise, you can also go to Shandong and Huguang alone, and subdue these two White Lotus rebels, and I can save a lot of military expenses. ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, how can Weichen have such great ability, Luo Tianyou has actually been subdued by Weichen, and has been lurking in the White Lotus Sect to deliver news to Weichen, Shao Jiayu was forced to surrender due to the situation, these two should be treated differently, the one who presided over the rebellion in Shandong was Tao Tianxiong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, this guy didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, if Weichen went alone to say that he surrendered, he had to slaughter the sacrificial flag on the spot." ”

Zhengde said with a smile: "Don't talk about this White Lotus Sect Master, I heard that the bandit leader who rebelled over there in Huguang is a woman, or a holy woman of the White Lotus Sect, she must be good-looking, you are so good at women, why don't you subdue her, how about I give her to you together with the girl of Duoyan Sanwei to complete the marriage?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "The emperor has a golden mouth, and the micro-minister thanks the lord Longen...... The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, Weichen, has already been subdued, so the rebellious emperor over there in Huguang does not need to worry, as for the golden beads of Duoyan Sanwei, Weichen is grateful for it, after the emperor marries this holy woman, Weichen will have a five-room lady in his family, and no more Weichen will be unbearable. ”

Zhengde said with a smile: "Han Xin's more soldiers, the better, women, it's okay to have a few more." ”

Duan Fei shook his head again and again, Zhengde no longer embarrassed him, and said with a smile: "Duan Aiqing, the day before yesterday, I heard that Li Hua came to report that you colluded with the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, and I immediately reprimanded him, I know that you have a good skill, and the Holy Maiden must have been subdued by you, not any collusion, hehe, I guessed really well, now there are three rebels, only Shandong is left, and the big stone in my heart can finally be let go." ”

Duan Fei was silent, in fact, before the end of the war, no one could predict who would win and who would lose in the end, although Duan Fei had made many arrangements, but in front of Zhengde, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would win, and it was naturally different when he was boosting morale below.

Zhengde was overjoyed for a while, and suddenly said: "Duan Aiqing, that Ji Rilie of Duoyan Sanwei has been imprisoned for nearly a year, and Duoyan Sanwei has sent several groups of people to beg for mercy, promising that in the future, if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty and never dare to offend again, can you put Ji Rilie back?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, unless the three leaders of Duoyan Sanwei come to Beijing to see Long Yan and pray for his release, it is better to be close to Ji Rilie for another year and a half." ”

Zhengde was surprised: "Why is this? ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is using various methods to re-educate Ji Rilie, and it will take some time to complete the transformation, so I am afraid that if I let him go back now, I am afraid that it will not only fall short, but also leave bad thoughts in his heart, and sooner or later there will be chaos, so the emperor should not let him go back for the time being." ”

Zhengde said curiously: "Re-education transformation? Can people still be transformed? What are you going to transform him into? ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to transform is his thoughts, Ji Rilie grew up outside the Guan, he doesn't even know a few big characters, and he doesn't understand the broad and profound culture of our Central Plains, Weichen sent a teacher to teach Ji Rilie all kinds of things, when he adapts to our lifestyle and culture, the emperor can't drive him away even if he uses a stick." ”

Zhengde joked: "I see, Aiqing really has a heart, but I still think it's easier for you to marry Jin Zhu home directly." ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly and was speechless......

After a day of repair and preparation, Duan Fei's 20,000 elite soldiers left the capital, and 10,000 of the 20,000 were cavalry, all of whom were wearing rattan armor, and Shao Jiayu and Luo Tianyou also traveled with the army.

Duan Fei brought together Su Rong and Guan Xiaohan who came from Shaanxi in Hejian Mansion, the White Lotus Sect army in Shaanxi had been successfully disbanded and repatriated home, if it weren't for the fear that these White Lotus Sect disciples would not be easy to control in front of the sect leader, otherwise Duan Fei really wanted to bring them to Shandong and stage a good show of White Lotus fighting White Lotus.

Duan Fei did not stop in Hejian Mansion, and continued to quickly advance towards Jinan, the capital of Shandong, because Jinan is now in danger, and this is also because there is sufficient intelligence support along the way, and the main force of the White Lotus Sect has no signs of withdrawing from Jinan, and it is very safe along the way.

It wasn't until he entered Shandong and passed Pingyuan County that Duan Fei ordered the army to slow down slightly, and then in the north of Yucheng County, the recruiting army had the first contact with the White Lotus Sect, which was another battle across the river.

The north side of Yucheng is close to the Tu River, originally there was a small bridge on the river that can go straight to Yucheng, now the bridge has been demolished, Yucheng hangs the rebel flag of the White Lotus Sect above, the north gate of Yucheng is open, but there is no one in the city, it is terrible quiet.

When the army came to the Tuhe, Duan Fei checked the situation in Yucheng with a telescope, and everyone was waiting for his order.

Duan Fei put down the binoculars and ordered: "Yuantong, you take a few people to find a small boat to cross the river into the city first, and publicize our recruitment policy of recruiting the army, be careful, if you are attacked, withdraw immediately." ”

Yuantong agreed, and ordered the nine people in the personal guard team to come out, they were all martial arts masters, looking at the environment up and down the Tuhe River, they didn't even bother to look for the boat, and jumped up from the demolished part of the bridge and fell to the opposite bank.

The ten of them crossed the Tuhe River smoothly, shouting the policy of surrender and not killing, while cautiously walking towards the gate of Yucheng.
