Chapter 10 Deding Prefecture

Liu Shouguang was overjoyed: "Uncle has a good plan, so let's do it!"

"You go to the barracks with me now!" The general immediately made a decision, ordered two armor soldiers to monitor the Jiedu Embassy, and returned to the barracks with Liu Shouguang himself.

His name is Huang Xingqin, Liu Shouguang's uncle, some time ago he just achieved the realm of a general in the border pass, and he has returned to Youzhou to report on his work in the past few days, and has been appointed by Liu Rengong as the commander of the tooth soldiers, and now he is full of ambition.

The so-called tooth soldiers, that is, the guards of the Jiedu envoys, are stationed near the Jiedu Embassy, and the combat power is fierce, and the troops are all elite.

The reason why Huang Xingqin would help Liu Shouguang was also because they had a close relationship, and he was worried that Liu Shouguang's matter would implicate him, be alienated by Liu Rengong, and even dismiss him from his official position as the commander of the Ya soldiers.

simply don't do anything, just support Liu Shouguang to take the position, he can still rely on great achievements to go further, and when Liu Shouguang succeeds to the throne, even if he is in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, it is not impossible.

The chaos in the world is the only time for ambitious people to take advantage of the situation.

Huang Xingqin took Liu Shouguang back to the barracks and immediately secretly convened a meeting of the main generals in the army.

Of course, he didn't say that Liu Shouguang committed adultery with his mother-in-law and was caught red-handed by Liu Rengong, but only said that Liu Rengong was old and faint and did not want to forge ahead, so that the generals had no chance to make contributions, so they could only live in a corner of Youzhou. By the way, he also made up some bad things about Liu Rengong, saying that he had lost the hearts of the people of Youzhou.

Then, Huang Xingqin said that Liu Shouguang was virtuous, highly supported by the people, and had lofty ambitions, and that his son should inherit his father's business, lead the Youzhou army to fight in all directions, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and so on.

Half of the generals attending the meeting were Huang Xingqin's cronies, so naturally he was the only one to follow; some were wall-riding factions who did not express their stance and just went with the flow; the rest were loyal to Liu Rengong and did not believe Huang Xingqin's words, and some even angrily denounced Huang Xingqin on the spot, saying that he was plotting against him.

Huang Xingqin acted decisively, and immediately ordered the soldiers to rush into the tent and fight against these opponents. Although there are many brave warriors among these generals, before entering the big tent of the Chinese army, they disarmed all the swords, and now they are empty-handed, where is the opponent of the armor, and they are all killed in two strokes.

After ordering the corpse to be taken out, Huang Xingqin looked around the generals coldly, and his eyes fell on those wall-riding factions, "Who else is opposed to Gongzi's succession now?"

In the smell of blood, where did the generals dare to object, and they all immediately clenched their fists and said: "We will support Gongzi to succeed to the throne!"

Huang Xingqin then ordered the gathering of elite armor soldiers, and after briefly explaining tonight's operation on the school field, he left two cronies to sit in the military camp, and took Liu Shouguang and all the soldiers to rush to the Jiedu Embassy.

After Liu Rengong killed the woman, his anger did not subside for a long time, and he was sitting in the study sulking. I don't know how long later, when there was silence all around, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, as if there were a hundred and ten people fighting, and he was immediately furious: "What's the noise?

A moment later, a soldier covered in blood ran into the small courtyard and reported to Liu Rengong in a panic: "Dashuai, something is wrong! Huang Xingqin has gathered a crowd to mutiny, is attacking the mansion, and has already entered the Hanging Flower Gate!"

Liu Rengong was shocked: "Huang Xingqin, how dare he?!"

He hurriedly dispatched the manpower in the palace to meet the battle, and sent all the monks who practiced qi at a high level, and he thought about it for a long time, and sent people to the military camp outside the city to give orders, so that the other party could come to help, and finally he also ran to the front yard.

When he saw the rebellious army, he couldn't help but turn pale. The pro-soldiers in his mansion had been slaughtered by the other party, and their corpses fell to the ground, some of the monks who practiced qi were killed, and some of them actually stood behind Huang Xingqin!

At this time, the armor and monks who poured into the mansion from all directions had faintly surrounded him.

Seeing Huang Xingqin and Liu Shouguang, Liu Rengong couldn't understand what was going on, he pointed at the other party and scolded: "You rebel! You are the first to commit adultery with your mother-in-law, and you are the last to gather a crowd to mutiny, you are simply mad! I must clean up the portal today!"

As he spoke, Liu Rengong swept towards Liu Shouguang and wanted to capture and kill the other party. He has the cultivation of the real human realm, and he has the possibility of taking the enemy's main general in the chaotic army.

However, how could Liu Shouguang be willing to sit still, his cultivation was only slightly worse than Liu Rengong, and now that Huang Xingqin was sweeping the formation, he simply fought with Liu Rengong head-on.

The cannibalism between father and son did not last long, and Liu Rengong was seriously injured during the siege and was soon captured by Huang Xingqin.

Huang Xingqin breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was unreasonable to gather a crowd to mutiny, relying on bloody support, and he was also afraid that when the army outside the city arrived, he had not captured Liu Rengong and gave the other party a chance to turn the tables. Fortunately, Liu Rengong did not insist on breaking through, but fought head-on, so that he could take the other party so easily.

Liu Rengong was already in a state of turmoil, his son committed adultery with his concubine, his most trusted general gathered to mutiny, his heart seemed to be dripping blood, even if he was seriously injured and captured, his hair was scattered, and he kept cursing the other party.

Liu Shouguang was completely ashamed, and he didn't want to listen to Liu Rengong continue to scold, after all, so many people watched, this scene was too ugly, and he immediately ordered Liu Rengong to be taken down.

He wasn't completely inhuman, at least he didn't kill the other party, but just ordered the other party to be imprisoned.

Huang Xingqin felt that Liu Rengong should be killed to avoid future troubles, but Liu Shouguang disagreed: "There are many generals in the army, all of whom are close associates of my father, if I kill my father rashly, I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied, and use this to raise a rebellion. ”

Huang Xingqin thought that this was reasonable, so he didn't insist on it anymore.

So Liu Shouguang issued a notice overnight, saying that Liu Rengong was seriously ill and passed the position of Jiedu envoy to him, and ordered that all armies should sit in the barracks as Jiedu envoys, and they were not allowed to go out without an order, otherwise they would be dealt with as mutiny.

After making a fuss all night and dealing with various matters, Liu Shouguang didn't feel tired at all. Now that he has become the master of Youzhou, all the previous restraints and caution no longer exist, no one can yell at him anymore, and he can sleep with any woman he wants.

Thinking of this, Liu Shouguang still felt a little regretful, after all, the concubine Liu Rengong who committed adultery with him had been killed by Liu Rengong, and he still missed the smell of the other party a little now.

But the matter has come to this point, Liu Shouguang is not too sad, after all, women always have.

Huang Xingqin was now entrusted with all the military by Liu Shouguang, and after he went around the camps, he returned to the Jiedu Envoy's mansion and immediately came to Liu Shouguang to discuss the plan.

"I just received the news that King An has subdued Chengde, but I am afraid that he will go north to Youzhou. Huang Xingqin's expression was serious, "Now we have to deal with it." ”

Liu Shouguang's face changed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Li Ye pacified Huangchao and captured Hedong almost effortlessly, and when he usually mentioned it, some people may disagree, thinking that if he was Li Ye, he could do the same as him.

But when they heard that Li Ye aimed his soldiers at him, panic would grow uncontrollably, and then they would seriously examine how far the other party was from them.

It's okay not to look at it, but if you look at it, you will find that the other party is a behemoth, and you are just an ant, and you are not qualified to confront the other party head-on.

Liu Shouguang said in a trembling voice: "I heard that King An is still benevolent, and the envoys of various feudal towns, as long as they obey his orders, he will not have any trouble." Why don't we learn from Henghai, Zhaoyi and other towns, and take the initiative to show loyalty to King An?"

Huang Xingqin obviously disagreed with this, he said coldly: "You have just become a festival envoy, do you want to give up the power to others, and be willing to ride on your head and dictate to you?"

Liu Shouguang thought about it, this is indeed unacceptable. He is now the master of Youzhou, what he wants is to do whatever he wants, and now let him obey Li Ye's orders and accept Li Ye's criticism of Youzhou, he is really unwilling.

However, Liu Shouguang still didn't dare to be an enemy with Li Ye, he said tentatively: "But King An is powerful, if he sends troops to attack, how can we deal with it?"

Huang Xingqin seemed confident, and he had obviously thought about this question for a long time: "We can ask the Khitan for help!"

Liu Shouguang was stunned: "Ask the Khitan for help? We have been fighting with the Khitan for many years, will they help us?"

Huang Xingqin snorted coldly: "This time and that time." The Khitan has swept the grasslands over the years, and it has become a trend, and I have heard that the Khitan has the ambition to go south to the Yellow River. This is where we can take advantage of it. Forming an alliance with the Khitan will be able to contain King An's Zhongxing Tang Dynasty, which the Khitan can't ask for! Wait until King An is repulsed, and then we will attack them!"

Liu Shouguang's eyes lit up: "Then do it!"

But then he became worried again: "But if the Khitan sends too many soldiers and horses to the south, I am afraid that it will have the ability to oppose the guest, but the reinforcements sent are too few, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop King An, how can this be good?"

Huang Xingqin said: "You don't have to let them send a large army, just send monks to protect you." As for the army, our Lu Long Army is extremely elite, and it is not lost to the Pinglu Army, and it is not difficult to stop them. And don't forget, Zhu Wen of the Central Plains is still lighting a fire in Queen An's backyard!"

Liu Shouguang stroked his palms and praised: "Uncle is really talented, this matter is so decided." ”

......

After Li Ye arrived in Dingzhou, he was warmly entertained by the envoys of the Yiwu Army.

At the banquet, in front of the officials and generals at all levels in Dingzhou, the Yiwu Army expressed that he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and had no second thoughts, and the Yiwu Army was sent by Li Ye. Not only him, but also the officials and generals present also expressed their support for the decision of the Yiwu Festival envoy.

This is clearly a plan that has been made in advance, so we can work together. The other party was so sensible, Li Ye felt very satisfied, and couldn't help but say some words of encouragement.

The Yiwu Army took the initiative to surrender, although it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.

When Li Ye had not yet conquered Hedong, with the record of subduing Wei Bo, the Zhaoyi Army took the initiative to send troops to help in the war. Now that he even has Hedong in his pocket, all the princes who are not carried away by ambition and do not have the support of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism should know what attitude to take when Li Ye arrives.

Since the Yiwu Army took the initiative to surrender, Li Ye did not send the Pinglu Army to enter the Yiwu City, his meaning was very clear, as long as the Jiedu envoy obeyed the order, he would not reduce the authority of the Jiedu envoy.

After receiving the surrender of the Yiwu Army, Li Ye stayed in Dingzhou for a day as usual, mainly watching the other party post notices and make the matter public. After receiving a group of people's luck at night, Li Ye continued to go north after dawn.

His schedule was quite tight, also because the Xuanwu army was still attacking Qingzhou. Although the war is safe for the time being, no one can guarantee that there will be any sudden changes, so it is better to solve the affairs in the north as soon as possible.

When I set off from Dingzhou, the information of Youzhou brought by the Tsing Yi Yamen.

According to Li Ye's previous speculation, with his friendship with Liu Rengong, Youzhou is likely to take it without a fight.

After all, he didn't plan to let Lu Longjun send troops to fight with him, and after the situation in Pinglu stabilized, he would support Liu Rengong with some money, food, armor, and monks to help him guard the border. With such favorable conditions, it makes no sense that Liu Rengong would not appreciate it.

Unexpectedly, Li Ye had no chance to tell Liu Rengong about his plan.

"Liu Shouguang committed adultery with his mother-in-law, was caught red-handed by Liu Rengong, and was injured with a stick, Liu Shouguang gathered his tooth general Huang Xingqin that night, launched a mutiny, and imprisoned Liu Rengong?"

Not only that, Liu Shouguang also sent monks to the Khitan, intending to beg for help from the Khitan. "The dusty Song Jiao has just arrived from Youzhou, her eyebrows and eyes are still a little tired, and it seems that she has been running for a long time.
