Chapter 141: The Golden State Rebellion
Lu Cong learned that Ning Ze saved Chengzhou and attacked Hanzhou, Zheng Fu was destroyed, and his son Zheng Mian was guarding Gaoli, so he summoned civil and military officials and said: "If Ning Ze wins Hanzhou, it will be a big disaster, but there is a plan to prevent him from going south?"
"My lord, now that Zhou Yi is eyeing the tiger, our army must not be moved lightly!" said Taiwei Sun Ran, "I heard that Jinzhou is divided into two factions, one side supports Ning Ze, and the other party wants to get rid of it, so that the power will return to the hands of Princess Yuan Xi." It is better to send people to Jinzhou to instigate, Ning Ze's army is outside, and the opponent will take advantage of the opportunity. There is civil strife in Huajun, and Ning Ze can only return quickly!"
"Brilliant plan!" Lu Cong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent a fine work to Huajun to incite it.
It turned out that under Ning Ze's arrangement, the public security control in Jinzhou was extremely strict, and a strict household registration system was used to register, especially the foreign population was strictly controlled, and the slightest suspicious place was strictly investigated, and it was difficult to pass the customs in confusion.
Coupled with the intelligence agents hidden in the city, as well as the generous reward for reporting, the people will immediately report and receive money when they see suspicious people, and even Danjun can't pass through, let alone incitement in various parts of Golden State.
The news was transmitted back to Dangliang County, and Lu Cong asked left and right: "Jinzhou is very tightly controlled, and it is impossible to act carefully, what should I do?"
Guang Yixi suggested: "You can buy off local wealthy businessmen and absorb businessmen as fine works." ”
Lu Cong followed the advice and bribed the wealthy local businessman Zhao Meng with his official position.
Zhao Meng had contact with the Chamber of Commerce, and often went to Jinzhou to buy paper, because Lu Cong promised to get the position of county order after the matter was completed, so he took advantage of the time of business, and took his subordinates to meet Li Shun in Huajun, Jinzhou, and successfully incited the other party.
Li Shun has always been dissatisfied with Ning Ze, believing that his authority is too heavy.
Although the decision-making level knew that Princess Yuan Xi was used as a puppet by Ning Ze, it was actually a deception to the outside world. But now Ning Ze does have too much power, and I heard that when he set out on the expedition, he only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has expanded to 100,000 troops.
At present, he is pretending to be a minister, who knows if he will really become a minister in the future and put Princess Yuanxi in the air?
With Ning Ze's elusive temperament, anything is possible.
The most important thing is that the entire Golden State is under Ning Ze's control, Princess Yuanxi completely obeys his advice, and their group of officials who support Princess Yuanxi the most have no chance of coming out at all.
Now that Ning Ze is leading the troops outside, it is the right time to persuade Princess Yuan Xi to take back power appropriately!
So he immediately led his partners with the same concept and asked to see Liu Yuanxiang in private.
Liu Yuanxiang met with the officials, and in the face of their advice, he directly denied it: "This palace trusts Ning Junshi, so it will delegate power." The military advisor has not disappointed the main palace, how can he take it back?"
Li Shun took the officials to admonish him several times, but Liu Yuanxiang did not agree.
So Li Shun discussed privately with the officials: "The princess was deceived by Ning Ze and trusted her extraordinarily. In the long run, Jinzhou will be owned by Ning Ze! As a courtier, how can we sit idly by and watch Ning Ze become bigger? Since the literature does not stop, it is better to admonish with martial arts! If we wait for Ning Ze to return, the opportunity will be lost!"
These officials all thought the same thing, and hit it off.
So he contacted other civilian and military generals who opposed Ning Ze, and they all formed a line and prepared for action.
Because Li Shun and others repeatedly advised him to weaken Ning Ze's power, Liu Yuanxiang secretly informed Chu Meiren.
The next morning, the civil and military officials gathered at the official office.
Li Shun led the civilian and military generals who opposed Ning Ze, as well as various troops and horses, to quickly rush here.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yuanxiang reprimanded: "What are you waiting for?"
"Lord!" Li Shun said respectfully, "In order to build a foundation and prevent it from falling into the hands of Ning Ze, we will advise again!
"Please take back the power!!"
"The military advisor is loyal to the palace, so what's wrong with delegating power to him?" Liu Yuanxiang frowned, "You are loyal to the palace, but the military advisor is on a campaign outside, and we will talk about it when he returns." ”
"My lord!" Li Shun arched his hand and said, "Ning Ze has too much authority, and sooner or later he will have the heart of rebellion." If you don't clamp it down, it's too late to regret it! The ministers and others are dedicated to the Lord, please cut Ning Ze's power!"
"Please slash Ning Ze's power!!" the officials shouted in unison.
"If you don't agree, do you want to rebel?" Mi Yan, who was standing beside Liu Yuanxiang, stepped forward and said loudly, "What crime should you be guilty of if you commit the following crimes?"
"You are all Ning Ze Eagle Dogs!" Li Shun pointed at Mi Yan and shouted, "How can you continue to confuse the lord?"
"Whoa!!" immediately echoed loudly outside, and countless soldiers appeared.
"Still not retreat?" Liu Yuanxiang shouted when he saw this, "Do you really want to rebel?"
"The lord forgives the sin! We are only waiting to eradicate the powerful ministers and regain power for the lord! After the matter is completed, let the lord deal with it!" Li Shun immediately drew his sword, "Left and right, take down Ning Ze's minions with me! Today, the Qing monarch will return Jinzhou to my lord!"
"Huh, hmm, hmm, ......" The group of officials who followed Li Shun all drew their swords, and soldiers from outside also poured in.
Liu Yuanxiang sighed and turned to Chu Meiren.
Chu Meiren nodded, picked up the copper cup on the table casually, and threw it on the ground with a crisp sound.
Countless crossbowmen suddenly poured out from the rear of the official office, quickly forming a crossbow formation, aiming at all the officials who followed Li Shun in the hall.
At the same time, there was the sound of weapons striking each other outside, and there was chaos.
Li Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Ning Ze Eagle Dog has already been deployed, who dares to kill the enemy with me?"
Behind, the civil and military officials responded in unison and rushed forward with Li Shun.
Chu Meiren frowned slightly, and did not immediately order the crossbowmen to shoot, but turned to Mi Yan.
Mi Yan immediately picked up the big knife and jumped down the steps, and went straight to Li Shun: "If you dare to disobey the lord's order, eat me with a knife!"
Li Shun led dozens of officials to surround him, and the civil and military officials on both sides who did not support them also drew their swords and came up to assist Mi Yan.
The two sides were scuffling in the hall, Mi Yan was dancing a big sword as if she was in a no-man's land, and those civil and military generals who thought she was a woman and despised her were quickly beaten to the ground.
No one was injured, and Li Shun and his companions were all put down by Mi Yan.
The chaos outside also stopped quickly, and a general entered the official office to report: "Lord, all the participants have been taken!"
It turned out that Chu Meiren had already made arrangements, and after Liu Yuanxiang informed her of the situation, she deployed in advance and prepared properly.
Li Shun and the others were escorted over, and Liu Yuanxiang shook his head and said: "Why do you have to do this? This palace believes in the military advisor, even if you don't believe it, today's matter is too much! Although it is all out of good intentions, this palace can also feel your sincere heart, but it shouldn't be!"
"Lord, we can't sit idly by and watch Ning Ze seize power!" Li Shun raised his head and shouted, "Please Lord Mingjian!"
"Please see the Lord!!" the other civil and military officials who were under control also shouted loudly.
"Shut up!" Mi Yan slammed the big knife in her hand to the ground, making a dull sound, "If you want to die, General Ben will fulfill you!"
"The best head is here! If you want to cut it, cut it off!" Li Shun patted his neck, undaunted, "Come on!"
"Don't you dare?" Mi Yan was furious and immediately raised her knife.
"Stop!" Liu Yuanxiang hurriedly shouted to stop it, turned to Chu Meiren and asked softly, "Master Chu, what should I do now?"
"Your lord!" Chu Meiren replied, "Li Shun and the others are just stupid and blunt, and they are being used by others." However, what we do today cannot be forgiven. The military division is fighting the front line, and the fighter plane must not be delayed because of family affairs. In the opinion of the following officials, they can be sent to the country of Binaqiu to cultivate for half a year, and when they figure out where they are wrong, they can be taken back to Huajun to continue to serve the lord!"
When Li Shun and the others heard this, their faces immediately changed drastically.
How can the country of Binaqiu be as close as Dacheng? The small country is relatively much more backward, and the living conditions are of course even worse, and they are sent there to farm, completely out of the need to endure hardships.
Rather than leaving his hometown and suffering in the country of Binachu, it is better to come directly to the knife.
Without waiting for them to speak, Liu Yuanxiang said to them: "It's okay! Remembering loyalty is commendable, and when you go to the country of Binachu to endure some hardships, you can also take the opportunity to think clearly. ”
So he ordered Li Shun and the civil and military officials who accompanied him to the dock and took a boat directly to Binaqiu.
As for the soldiers who participated in this martial arts, they were also temporarily imprisoned.
Chu Meiren rearranged and replaced the positions of Li Shun and others with a group of newly joined officials.
When the news came back to Dangliang, Lu Cong said regretfully when he saw that the plan had not been successful: "It seems that Ning Ze has a lot of minions and has completely controlled Jinzhou. What should I do if this plan fails?"
Officials whispered.
After a while, Guang Yixi spoke: "My lord, there is a person surnamed Chen Mingtai in Tong County, who has been skilled in bows and horses since he was a child, and his strength is outstanding. He is also familiar with the art of war and is quite resourceful. It's just that he has a bad background and is depressed. Last year, the thieves in Tongjun rebelled, and Chen Tai single-handedly broke the thieves and made meritorious contributions. But because of his identity, Li Tong was very disgusted, and only gave him some money and food, and did not make him an official. This person used the money and grain in his hand to open a shop and recruit many private soldiers. As long as the lord has a piece of paper and appoints him as the Taishou of Tong County, he will definitely rebel! If Tong County is in chaos, Ning Ze will not be able to withdraw his troops!"
Lu Cong was pleasantly surprised: "This plan is wonderful!"
So the official letter was handed over to Zhao Meng, and he was asked to use the identity of the Chamber of Commerce to rush to Tong County and hand it over to Chen Tai in person.
Chen Tai was overjoyed to receive the official document, and sure enough, he led the private soldiers to quickly rebel.
Wu Han, the Taishou of Tongjun, led his troops to quell the rebellion, but he was defeated!
Chen Tai repelled Liu Yuanxiang's army and occupied Tong County.
Wu Han, Liang Jing, Liang Yun, Jiang Pei, and Han Tong were forced to retreat to Danjun for support.
Wei Jing, the Taishou of Danjun, immediately sent troops, led by his younger brother Wei Yi, to assist Wu Han in counterattacking Tong County.
Who expected to fall for Chen Tai's strategy and retreat again.
Mi Yuansheng and Liang Teng wanted to raise troops to attack Tong County, but when they heard that Lu Congtun was fighting in Jiyang and Kamu County, they didn't dare to move lightly.
When the news was transmitted back to Huajun, Liu Yuanxiang was shocked and wanted to recall Ning Ze.
Chu Meiren persuaded: "This is Lu Cong's strategy, and the military advisor cannot be recalled!"
"The soldiers and horses of the two counties of Dantong can't reach Chentai, what can they do?"
"Don't worry, lord!" Chu Meiren thought carefully, "If you can trust the lower officials, please borrow Mi Yan as the deputy general, and the two of us will send Tong County!"
"What?!" Liu Yuanxiang hurriedly asked, "Lord Chu wants to lead troops to the battle? Duke Chu will not agree!"
"There is no other way right now!" Chu Meiren sighed, "Our army has limited talents, and we can't get rid of ......."
"How can Chu Gong persuade over there?" Liu Yuanxiang knew that Chu Xun would definitely not let his baby daughter go out on an adventure.
"The lower officials will solve it!" Chu Meiren said, "You must not recall the military division, otherwise your previous achievements will be wasted!"
