And this Yanying Hall meeting was held when the general trend of Zhaoyi Town has gone, and it can be said that the dust has settled.

The courtiers were still divided into two camps, one was to agree to accept Guo Yi's request, represented by Du Yi. One is that Li Deyu is the representative who resolutely opposes Guo Yi's request to accept it.

Du Yi: "Your Majesty, since Zhaoyi has changed his ways, he should accept Guo Yi's request." To err is human. Guo Yi took the initiative to join the imperial court, and in order to show his sincerity, he killed Liu Zhi, the leader of the rebels. Since the imperial court can accept the surrender of other generals in Zhaoyi Town, and give generous rewards. Why can't you forgive Guo Yi and give him a chance to mend his ways? I beg Your Majesty to grant Guo Yi's request. ”

As the head of the household, Du Yi wished that the world would be peaceful, the soldiers and horses had moved, and the grain and grass would follow. In order to raise food and grass, his hair turned a lot grayer. Is it easy for him! He!

Li Xiang: "Your Majesty, the minister has reservations about Lord Du's opinion. The Zhaoyi Rebellion was caused by the Liu family's desire to be hereditary. However, according to the minister's understanding, of course, the minister's understanding of Liu Zhi is not groundless, it is based on the rhetoric of the Zhaoyi general, and the minister's understanding of Liu Zhi during the period when the minister followed up Zhaoyi to suppress the rebellion. Chen's conclusion is that Liu Zhen'er is a confused child who can't get things done. To this day, all the decisions in Zhaoyi Town are just manipulated by Guo Yi and others behind the scenes, and Liu Zhi is a puppet at the front desk. ”

Du Yi interrupted him with words: "Liu Zhi has passed the age of weak crowns, and he is not an immature child. ”

Li Xiang: "Liu Zhi is not a child, but Liu Zhi is a fool who was played with by Guo Yi. Guo Yi is wishful thinking, if the rebellion succeeds, then he will use the knife to kill people to take control of Zhaoyi from Liu Zhi. If the rebellion fails, he will kill Liu Zhi, regard himself as a hero of the counterinsurgency, and ask the court for credit. Lord Du, let me ask, if such a traitorous villain's trick is fulfilled, is there still justice in the world? If you don't punish such a traitorous villain, you won't be able to convince people's hearts. ”

Wu Zong: "I agree with Li Xiang. Guo Yi is punished by everyone, and I will not let go of a wicked person like Guo Yi who relies on harming the interests of others to seek his own interests. I will not let such wicked people seek fame and fortune from me. ”

Li Xiang: "Your Majesty, the minister heard a gossip from Zhaoyi back then. It is said that in Luzhou, there was a passer-by who was lying in the market with his chest and belly exposed, and when he met people, he said, Shi Xiong came with 7,000 soldiers, and Shi Xiong came with 7,000 soldiers. The citizens were deeply surprised, and thought that this man's words were so strange. The matter reached Liu Congji's ears. Liu Congji was furious and sent someone to kill the passers-by. The minister thought that it seemed that a strange thing, and now sent Shi Xiong to lead 7,000 people into Luzhou, should be the same as this gossip back then. ”

Wu Zong: "Quasi-play, Li Xiang drafted an edict." ”

Guo Yi waited for the envoys of the imperial court to come to the palace every day and present the axe. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, the eyes are green. The above table was presented for a period of time, but the court ignored it.

Shixiong was stationed in Luzhou 150 Liqiu County. Zhang Zhongqing, the imperial court envoy, came to Qiu County, and Shi Xiong received the holy decree.

Li Xiang drafted an edict saying that Shi Xiong would appease Guo Yi and then wait for an opportunity to catch the thieves who committed the rebellion.

The edict also specifically stated that the number of soldiers he led was 7,000. Shi Xiong didn't understand why he was so precise in the number of soldiers he led, but the edict was intended, don't ask why, just do it.

Shi Xiong and Zhang Zhongqing sat in the big tent, and the generals were all there. "The imperial court is going to appease Zhaoyi Town. It was decided to grant Guo Yi the axe, and I will lead you to station in Luzhou to assist the Zhaoyi Jiedu Mansion in handling the follow-up matters. ”

All the generals were very happy that they could finally end the war and return to their stations.

Shi Xiong also advised: "In order to show the military prestige of the imperial court, we must show our best state. In addition, we will be stationed in Luzhou for a period of time to assist Guo Liuhou in stabilizing the situation in Zhaoyi. The generals cheered me up. ”

Shi Xiong left several confidant generals such as Deputy General Wang, and the other generals retired to prepare for various matters in Luzhou. As Shi Xiong's personal soldier, Liu Ye also attended the meeting.

Liu Ye held the edict and passed it in the hands of the generals. It turned out that the real intention of the imperial court was like this. tower

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are in Luzhou, we are away, Guo Yi is at home. How to do things to make sure that nothing goes wrong, you can share your thoughts. ”

On the surface, the court praised him, but secretly he wanted him to be on the head. The strategy is to paralyze the enemy and seize the opportunity to attack him unprepared.

"If you want Guo Yi to let down his guard, unless General Shi acts as a bait." Vice Admiral Wang said with a smile.

A brother next to him bumped him on the shoulder, "General Wang, you are willing to give up General Shi, eat salty salt for a few more years, you just have a heart." ”

"I wanted to be bait and rush in and kill him. How many sins these bastards have made us. But the level is not enough, don't blame me. Deputy Wang pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said in a loud voice.

Shi Xiong glared at him, "You are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”

Vice General Wang raised his hand to cover his mouth, shouting in a loud voice, this is a secret meeting. lest others don't know, he yelled. He took a step back, meaning that I reflected on my mistakes.

"Vice General Wang, you select two hundred strong and brave soldiers to follow me into the Jiedu Mansion. The rest of the soldiers will be led by you and stationed in Luzhou. ”

Vice Admiral Wang bowed down and said yes, bowed and withdrew. I admired Shi Xiong in my heart, he really had the courage and knowledge, and led a mere 200 people to meet Guo Yi.

Guo Yi can come to this day and kill Liu Zhen. After Liu Congji's death, he was the actual controller of Zhaoyi Town. It can be seen that Guo Yi is not an ordinary person.

Vice General Wang carefully selected 200 warriors, including Zhang Xiaowei, Chang Sheng, and Xu Ji.

Shi Xiong, the imperial court envoy Zhang Zhongqing led the army to march and walked for two days to the city of Luzhou.

Guo Yi waited for the imperial court to axe, but the imperial court did not come with news for a long time. Guo Yi said to himself that he would definitely move to other feudal towns. So he packed up his horses and prepared to lead his subordinates to fight elsewhere.

Suddenly, when he got the news that Shi Xiong was leading the army, he was shocked and didn't know what to do. Shi Xiong led his subordinates straight to Luzhou, is it a blessing or a curse?

He didn't dare to make up his mind, so he climbed the tower and watched. But I saw that the army led by Shi Xiong was neat and iron-clad.

The envoy Zhang Zhongqing patted his horse out of the column and shouted loudly: "After Guo stays, the imperial court has ordered me to come to convey the holy will. Open the city gates and greet the imperial army. ”

Guo Yi was overjoyed and ordered the city gate to be opened quickly. The army rushed in, and Guo Yi, Wang Xie and others led the way.

Shi Xiong and Zhang Zhongqing led 200 warriors into Jiedu Mansion. Adjutant General Wang led the army to camp near the Otya-mon.

Guo Yi stepped forward to see Zhang Zhongqing, and Zhang Zhongqing read out the holy decree, which was nothing more than a compliment to Guo Yi's loyalty.
