Chapter 910: Capture King Qi
After that, he felt that it was wrong, and seeing the smiles of King Jin and Di Renjie, Zhang Khan said angrily: "Your Highness, Renjie! Don't tease."
"You can see it clearly in the daytime," he explained.
Di Renjie said with a smile, "If you can see the marching formation in the distance, this thing is very useful."
Li Zhi took back the binoculars, "There are only three of my brothers-in-law in this treasure, one is in use by my brother-in-law, one is my brother-in-law's daughter, the little county lord, and the other is the king's."
Seeing the greedy looks of Di Renjie and Zhang Khanzhi, Li Zhi said again: "Brother-in-law said that when the technology is better in the future, how much will this thing have."
The night passed without any movement in the city, and it was daylight.
Li Zhi was still holding a telescope and looking at the city, there were many people, and they were still preparing to defend the city.
Di Renjie said, "Why is Xia Guan so uneasy in his heart."
Zhang Cambodia was puzzled: "How can you be uneasy?"
"That's not right!" Di Renjie said with annoyance, "Before leaving, what did You Wenzhi say?"
"I said I would give him a good name."
"Not good." Di Renjie stomped his foot, "Probably something's going to happen."
In the palace of King Qi, You Wenzhi followed Yan Hongliang into the main hall.
Li You raised a beard that was still young, and he put his hands behind his back and smiled: "I am very pleased that Lieutenant You can come and defect."
"Your Highness!" You Wenzhi bowed and saluted, "When the minister was close to King Qi, he thought that King Qi was a visionary person, but he didn't know that King Qi dared to rebel."
Li You chuckled and said, "Don't you dare?"
"Your Highness, stop it!"
"Stop?" Li You's eyes were a little more ruthless, "Father and Emperor are going to demote this king to a concubine, concubine!" Do you know how people live?"
At this point, Li You took a few steps back and said, "This king now has Qizhou City in his hands, tens of thousands of armor soldiers, why should he stop! Once this king stops, these things will be gone! My father will take everything from this king."
He frantically picked up a handful of copper coins, then threw them on the ground, "It's gone! Nothing, nothing!"
You Wenzhi said, "What's wrong with being alive?"
"Alive?" Li You glanced at his main hall, "Exiled thousands of miles away?"
"If Your Highness stops, at least he won't execute His Highness."
Li You looked crazy and scolded loudly, "My father forced me! Just because I died for a long time, my father will demote me to a concubine!"
Like a mad child, Li You shouted, "Why! Tell me!"
"Quan Wanji is a loyal minister, didn't His Highness repent when he killed him?"
"Don't mention him to me!"
"Quan Wanji persuaded him hard, why didn't His Highness listen, Yan Hongliang and Xu Xuanhui are all villains, why is Your Highness close to them?"
"Don't say any more!"
"Your Highness, stop it." You Wenzhi said again.
Li You breathed heavily, suddenly smiled, and he pulled out a horizontal knife.
Burst......
The horizontal knife stabbed You Wenzhi in the chest.
He endured the suffocation of the knife in his chest, reached out and grabbed Li You's collar, and said tremblingly: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, five years ago, you also told the lower officials that you said that you would govern Shuofang together and bless the villagers, and the lower officials were so fortunate that they could be looked down upon by the prince, and the lower officials were grateful for His Highness's appreciation, and they have always been dutiful as officials."
"Keep these words in mind, you were a good boy, and you still have a chance."
"Opportunity? Did my father give me a chance?"
Li You was furious, and stabbed You Wenyi in the chest one after another, "If this king is dead, you don't want to live!"
You Wenzhi finally collapsed and fell in a pool of blood.
From outside the city, there is still no movement in Qizhou City.
Li Zhi saw the reflection on the head of the city, and the lens was put on, "Something happened......
Di Renjie also noticed the reflection on the city, and his mood was heavy.
Half an hour later, a corpse
Thrown under the city, Li Junxian ordered someone to pull the body back.
Seeing You Wenzhi's corpse, Li Zhi choked up and did not speak.
Di Ren's masterpiece saluted, "Lieutenant You, your name must be a loyal and upright minister, and you will not have any more grievances."
Li Zhi gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists.
At night, another guard escaped from Qizhou City, and he hurriedly walked into the big tent, "Your Highness, General, Qizhou City's defense is lax, it is difficult to get in, and it is easy to get out of the city."
He took out a piece of cloth, "The lowly has escaped from the drain, and the last general has already drawn the situation in the city, and the people of Qizhou are all in the south of the city, and the north is guarded by armor."
Li Junxian bowed his head and said, "If it won't hurt the villagers, you can use artillery to deal with the rebels."
Li Zhi thought of You Wenzhi's death, covered his face and whispered, "Attack the city tomorrow!" Take down Li You!"
Li Junxian got up when he heard this and said, "Wow!"
The army began to prepare to send messages to the state capitals to prevent any rebels from fleeing.
Zhang Cambodia and Di Renjie didn't sleep all night, and they were finally about to attack the city, whether it was His Majesty or the current King of Jin, they all gave Li You a chance.
Liu Dewei said in a low voice: "Another loyal and upright minister has died, and His Royal Highness can't bear it anymore against King Qi."
Di Renjie nodded, "Yes."
"The old man sees that your kid is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is quite graceful, but can he enter the office?"
Di Renjie looked apologetic and saluted, "The kid is young, and he is not yet old enough to take the imperial examination."
Zhang Cambodia hurriedly said: "In the next Zhang Cambodia, I have seen Liu Shangshu."
Liu Dewei said again: "Di Renjie? Well, good name, where's the guy?"
"Father Dickenson."
"Well, it turned out to be Dicterson's child." Liu Dewei stroked his beard and said, "Very good."
Zhang Cambodia said again: "Father Zhang Xuanbi."
Wait for the other party's response.
But seeing that Dewei Lau only had Di Renjie in his eyes, and he didn't have himself at all, Zhang Cambodia was in a lonely mood, and I also had credit for catching Xu You and the others.
The army was ready to attack the city, and Lishan's new artillery was elongated cylindrical with wheels at the bottom that could be pushed into range.
Walking three hundred steps beyond the city wall, Li Zhi planned to give him one last chance, and shouted towards the city gate, "Li You! You come out!"
Instead, the arrows were fired from the city.
Li Junxian shouted, "Raise your shield."
The range of the arrows was not far, and most of the arrows fell in front of them, with only three or two scattered falling on the shield.
Liu Dewei snorted coldly: "The defenders in the city are all mediocre people, and they don't even know how to use arrows."
Li Junxian ordered in a deep voice, "Fire!"
"Whoa!"
Immediately, a soldier in the army shouted, "Open the cannon!"
The fuse of the cannon ignited, and thick smoke rose up, and only one explosion was heard, and the shells shot out and landed on the city wall, blasting a gap.
Boom!
Boom!
Two more cannons rang out, and there was chaos on the city, and when the smoke cleared, there were two more openings.
Li Junxian said again: "Open the gun!"
"Fire!"
There was another response, and the bag was refilled.
Li Zhi said in a deep voice, "Aim at the city tower."
"Whoa!" Li Junxian said loudly: "Aim at the city tower!"
The cannon rang out again, and the cannonballs shot out of the barrels and landed above the towers, and for a moment the rubble flew everywhere, and the defenders of the city scattered in confusion.
Li Zhi turned his back and didn't look at this scene, but just let Li Junxian keep bombarding the city tower with artillery.
I don't know how many times I bombarded it until I ran out of medicine packets I brought out.
Looking at the head of the city again, the tower had collapsed, the city was filled with gunsmoke, the city wall had collapsed, and a huge gap appeared in front of everyone.
Li Junxian ordered, "Enter the city! Capture the anti-thief King Qi!"
"Whoa!"
The soldiers finally rushed in with their swords.
Li Zhi and Zhang Cambodia, and Di Renjie followed.
Gongsun Xiaoniang carried a sword to protect the King of Jin.
Liu Dewei grabbed a defender fleeing in a panic and said, "Take us to the Qi Palace."
The defender looked flustered, and didn't know what he was talking about, until he kicked him, and then led the way.
The palace of the king of Qi was located in the very center of the city, and the battle here was already clear, and when Li Junxian rushed in with a large army, the defenders fled in panic.
The moment the artillery bombarded the city walls, they had already lost their morale.
It's much easier to deal with the rebels.
Seeing that he was about to reach the Qi Palace, another group of rebels blocked the way.
The guards of the King of Jin were facing off against this group of rebels in front, and the opposing side was quite numerous, at least a thousand.
Someone came running quickly, it was a person from Qizhou City, and in the face of Li Zhi, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, "In Xia Du Xingmin, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" The last general is willing to serve the king of Jin and capture the king of the thief Qi!"
"Du Xingmin?" Li Zhihu wondered, "Who are you?"
"The last general was originally from Qizhou Mansion to join the army!"
After saying that, Du Xingmin stood up and said to the group of sergeants behind him, "King Qi has no way! Do you want to help the abuse? I lost my sword!"
Someone looked at Du Xingmin, and then at King Jin, and one person lost the knife in his hand, then there was a second, and then a third......
Then a group of people threw away their armor and fled in panic.
The rest of the people followed Du Xingmin and changed directions, facing the Qi Palace.
It wasn't until Andy Lau nodded that Li Zhi accepted the surrender of this general.
He explained: "Xia Guan has been to Qizhou before, this army has always been disobedient to the discipline of the King of Qi, and has been bullied by the King of Qi for many years, he has to obey when he is in Qizhou, but he has not done anything hurtful to the heavens and reason."
"The minister had an agreement with him at the beginning, if the king of Qi made trouble, he could cooperate with the inside and the outside, and this person has never followed the king of Qi to do evil, so he can be trusted."
Li Zhi nodded slowly and walked towards the Qi Palace.
At this moment, the gate of the Qi Palace's mansion was closed, and the guards stepped forward and patted the door heavily, and replied, "Your Highness, the door is blocked."
Li Zhi looked calm and said slowly, "It's burned."
"Whoa!"
The guards brought torches and placed them under the door.
"Your Highness, there are three gates in the Qi Palace, and they have all been watched at the moment, and there are rebels who explain that the King of Qi is in the palace."
Little by little, the flames burned down the gate of the Qi Palace.
Until the door collapsed to the ground.
Li Junxian arrived with his soldiers and horses, and immediately rushed into the mansion to kill the stubborn rebels here.
Dewei Lau walked in with people.
There were corpses everywhere in the mansion, and these people were simply different from the well-trained soldiers in Li Junxian's hands, and they were vulnerable.
Li Zhi walked into this chaotic place step by step, and heard laughter coming from the main hall of Fuzhong.
When I looked up, I saw Li You holding a wine bowl.
And there were two people beside Li You, who were holding a wine bowl in one hand and a knife in the other, standing beside King Qi.
Li Junxian ordered someone to release arrows, and the arrows shot down the last two people around King Qi very accurately.
The noon sun shone on Qizhou City, and the wine bowl in Li You's hand fell, as if he had only understood that he had lost at this moment.
Li Junxian stepped forward and said, "The last general has been ordered to take King Qi back to the palace to send it down."
"Li You!"
There was a loud shout from outside the hall, and Li Zhi rushed forward quickly and kicked him to the ground, "You are so bold!"
While shouting and scolding, Li Zhi raised his fist and landed on King Qi one punch after another, "Anti-thief, you hopeless bastard."
Li You covered his nose and was beaten.
The fist in Li Zhi's hand was still falling, "Quan Wanji is dead! You Fangzhi is also dead, and you killed them!"
"You will be spurned by all nations."
"You don't deserve to be a man!"
……
Li Junxian pulled Li Zhi away, and Li You covered his face
The door was silent.
Liu Dewei's expression was calm, and he said in a low voice: "No one has forced King Qi, all of this is the fault of King Qi."
King Qi was taken out, and this time the might of the artillery once again confirmed that within the range of the artillery, the city wall was like nothing.
Maybe there are still madmen like Li You in this world.
But there will be no more city walls that can stop the Tang army, no matter how high the mountains and rivers are, and how thick the city walls are.
Li You was taken away by Li Junxian.
Liu Dewei began to clean up the family property of the Qi Palace, Li You collected a lot of money in the fiefdom, and when he opened a warehouse door, copper coins continued to pour out, like a mountain.
Li Zhi walked in this mansion, and also listened to Liu Dewei tell about the bad things that Li You had done before.
At the beginning, Li You was still young, and there were many palace maids who died because of him in the palace.
Li Zhi thought of the teaching he received in Lishan, and was glad that he had been taught by his brother-in-law, so that he would not become a madman like Li You.
My brother-in-law often emphasized that the masses are the greatest force in the community, and even artillery is not worth mentioning in front of the power of the masses, so in Datang, the mass base is particularly important to be strong.
Li Zhi said in a low voice, "Use this money to rebuild Qizhou City."
Liu Dewei saluted and said: "The lower officials will stay in Qizhou, govern Qizhou, and when the matter here is over, they will return to Chang'an to report on their work, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin can rest assured."
He looked at Di Renjie again, "When is your kid going to take the imperial examination?" When the old man returns to Chang'an, you will definitely enter the office and worship under the old man's criminal department."
Di Renjie smiled awkwardly, "Liu Shangshu is in love."
Zhang Cambodia sighed sourly, "Obviously you have more grace and courage than Renjie below, why can't you see the demeanor below."
Hearing Cambodia's words, Di Renjie wanted to kick him, but he held back.
Li Zhi didn't want to stay in Qizhou for a long time, and the rebellion in Qizhou was quelled quickly, and he didn't even need the soldiers and horses transferred by his father to the state capital.
It only took Li Junxian a thousand soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion of the king of Qi.
Things are going well, maybe it's not a big deal at all for the powerful Datang.
It began to snow again in Qizhou, and Liu Dewei called on the people in the city to rebuild Qizhou, release it to the people here to farm, and build houses that can escape the cold.
Li Zhi saw that the faces of the villagers had a smile again, so he returned to Chang'an City with Li Junxian.
Li You sat in the prisoner car, and with him were the remnants of the Qizhou rebellion, Xu Xuanhui, Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo and others. (End of chapter)
