Chapter 251: Suspicious
Feeling the strangeness on his shoulders, Ziyi's eyes trembled slightly, and he quietly moved away, pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and said, "Lord Wang, the prince and they are about to win, shouldn't we also send troops to pursue the enemy." ”
"In any case, even if it's just for show, when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, there is a good excuse."
Seeing this, Liu Jing smiled, his eyes were deep, and he nodded: "It's very reasonable, the whole army over there went out to fight the rebels!" ”
Originally, the rebels couldn't hold on, and with the addition of Liu Jing's 10,000 people, the situation on the battlefield suddenly fell like a tilted scale, one-sided!
Under the leadership of Liu Yu and Li Changkong, Zhu Ben and Jia Taisui led a large army that could be described as people blocking and killing, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, and there was a great posture of ghosts and gods.
Moments later, the pursuit ended.
Liu Yu expected it to be good, but he really failed to catch up with people.
But even so, a large number of rebels were captured and a lot of food was collected.
Looking at these grains, Li Changkong's brows furrowed slightly, and his doubts deepened.
The reason why Yizhou rebelled at the beginning was because of the wind disaster, the sea water rolled upside down, resulting in no harvest.
Unable to eat, displaced people rose in all directions, and Li Huai'an, an unstable factor, instigated this rebellion, which lasted for half a year.
So it stands to reason that the rebels' food should be somewhat compact.
But now, judging from the collected grain, it seems that this is not the case. Far from being short of food reserves, the rebels were... There is a surplus.
I hope Sheng Jin can give an answer to these questions.
Li Changkong shook his head and followed Liu Yu into the gate of Jiaozhou City.
Sheng Jin was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw Liu Yu and Liu Jing coming, he hurriedly ran forward and kowtowed: "Sheng Jin, the criminal minister, has seen two princes. ”
"Hehe, Sheng Jin, you are so bold!"
"Your report to the court says that the rebellion is about to be quelled, and that all that remains is a straggler, a rabble."
"And now?"
"Is this what you call a rabble? As the governor of a state, how did you get hit on the wall by a group of rabble? ”
Liu Jing came up and scolded angrily, and said: "Fake rumors, do you know what the crime is?" ”
When Sheng Jin heard this, his face turned pale immediately, but he still said truthfully: "The criminal minister is guilty, and when this is the case, the criminal minister is willing to step down from the post of Jiaozhou governor and return to the capital city with the two princes to wait for the fate." ”
Without the slightest excuse, he directly admitted it.
This is really a bit unexpected by everyone, you know, such a big mistake, if there is no other reason, is basically a capital crime.
In fact, Sheng Jin also wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't say that he was played by the thief leader, and he couldn't even grasp the situation, right?
Wouldn't that confirm his reputation for incompetence?
It's better to admit it.
Li Changkong stood up and asked: "I want to know the cause and effect of this matter, as the governor of a state, it is impossible for you not to know the consequences of the false report, why do you still do this?" ”
Sheng Jin has never seen Li Changkong, but he sees that his position is only half a step behind the prince, and his bearing is extraordinary, the armor on his body, and the sword blade in his hand are all extraordinary.
Immediately, I knew that this person was only afraid that he was also a high authority.
In this case, when asked about the pain, even if Sheng Jin was unhappy, he could only tell the truth.
After listening, Li Changkong couldn't help frowning.
This was not what he expected.
Li Huai'an was able to launch a rebellion and occupy the land of Yizhou for half a year, so he naturally had a certain ability.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to repel the imperial army many times, and even kill Zhang Huaiyang on the battlefield.
Can... He is just a small Yizhou county magistrate, how can he have such great ability?
If he really had such a great talent, why wasn't he discovered by the imperial court when he was taking the imperial examination?
"Li Huai'an, how much do you know? How did you get into the company in the first place, and did you encounter any unfair treatment? ”
"This ......" Sheng Jin shook his head after pondering for a while, and said: "This lord, to be honest, I do have some impressions of Li Huai'an, just because he and I are the same year. ”
"It's just that after I entered high school, he studied hard for five years before he could be the last in the second grade."
"Due to the poor fame, when the officials were divided, they could only be assigned to the relatively remote Yizhou, starting from a small master book."
"So what are Li Huai'an's political achievements in the years since he was in office? Have you ever been promoted? Li Changkong said.
When Sheng Jin heard this, he thought for a moment, and then shook his head decisively: "As far as I know, Li Huai'an's political achievements during his tenure can be described as mediocre. ”
"As for promotion, over the years, I have only been promoted once, and I still boiled up my qualifications."
Li Changkong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the doubts in his heart increased again.
How do you look at it, this Li Huaian is also an ordinary person, how can he set off such a big storm?
"You have been fighting with Li Huai'an for many days, have you ever seen this person?"
When Sheng Jin heard this, he shook his head decisively and said, "This person is delicate and cunning like a fox. When the two armies were fighting, they often hid in the army or had another place to hide. ”
"Even if I've been fighting him for months, I've never seen this person in person."
"What? Isn't the royal brother afraid of this, Li Huai'an can't do it? When Liu Jing heard Li Changkong ask, his mind gradually became active, and he said to Liu Yuru.
"Hmph." Liu Yu snorted coldly and said: "The art of war is cloudy, and only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
"This palace advises you, or take away that arrogant heart, otherwise if the horse stumbles, don't say that I, the royal brother, is not saved."
"Thank you for your kindness." Liu Jingpi smiled and said with a smile.
Seeing that there seemed to be some contradictions between the two princes, Sheng Jin hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Your Highnesses, now that the rebels have retreated, what should we do?" ”
"We have been ordered to exterminate all the rebels and put down the chaos once and for all. The rebels have only retreated, not destroyed, so why say more? Just send troops to exterminate it. Liu Jing slapped the table and said.
Hearing this, Sheng Jin was a little difficult: "Your Highness, now the Jiaozhou soldiers are sleepy and lacking, and there are many losses, I'm afraid it is... It is difficult to go out of the city to fight. ”
"It's okay, you can continue to repair the city wall and guard Jiaozhou. This matter of going out of the city to fight will be handed over to the king and His Royal Highness the crown prince. After speaking, Liu Jing cast a playful gaze and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't and won't dare to go out of the city, right?" ”
"This palace is here to exterminate the rebels, and it is my duty to go out of the city to fight, and I don't need you to provoke me." Liu Yu snorted coldly, turned around and left. He really didn't want to stay in the same space as Liu Jing in front of him, and he was prone to nausea.
As soon as Liu Yu left, the rest of the people immediately followed, but Li Changkong took a deep look at Liu Jing before slowly turning around and leaving.
He felt that the Liu Jing in front of him and the Liu Jing in his impression were ...... There seems to be some discrepancies.
