Chapter 244 "Hardcore" Allies Drop the Chain First

In the autumn of the first year of Qianyou, on the Renxu day of the seventh month, Li Shouzhen in Hezhong rebelled, and the emperor personally led the forbidden army and swore to send troops.Before leaving, more than a dozen of Li Shouzhen's close relatives in Tokyo were killed.

Li Shouzhen had been preparing for the rebellion for a long time, but he ignored his relatives. Of course, the clever ones saw that the situation was not good, but in Tokyo, under surveillance, there was no way to escape. Liu Chengyou sacrificed the flag.

Wen Tianzi's personal conquest, the noble concubine Gao wanted to accompany her to serve, and the Dafu also asked for it. Under such circumstances, even if Liu Chengyou was moved at the beginning, he put away his thoughts.What's more, empress and concubine Suizheng are nothing, but right now, the morale of the army must be considered.

Nearly [-] troops marched upstream from the Bian River, advancing both land and water.In the early stage, Tokyo has collected a large number of ships, mules and horses from the people to transport troops, food and equipment.Yan Jinqing, the military supervisor, was called out by Liu Chengyou to serve as the transport envoy by water, while Bai Chongyun, the guard of Sishui, was responsible for the transport by land.

On the side of the imperial camp, Li Hongjian, the commander of the capital of the Xingjie Army, was appointed as the Marquis of the horse infantry in the battalion; The commander of the holy right wing, Han Tong, was the array envoy.

The army's waterways advance side by side, stretching for several miles, which can be described as mighty.On the dragon boat, stand on the side of the ship, stand on the side of the ship, look around, there are many mysterious flags, the boat breaks through the waves, and the winding team can be seen far away on the shore.

The last time I experienced this kind of scene was when I followed Liu Zhiyuan to discuss Du Chongwei.But that time, the protagonist was Liu Zhiyuan.This time, it was Liu Chengyou who held the universe in his hands.

Liu Chengyou's mood at this time can be described as smug, and he also has the determination to win the prospect of this counter-insurgency.Of course there are concerns, but it is necessary to be cautious.

While the imperial court's anti-rebellion operation was carried out decisively and efficiently, the Guanyou area was immediately turbulent due to the rebellion of the Hefu.Li Shouzhen's rebellion was not too surprising, or even if someone else rebelled, it wouldn't be too surprising.Guanyou and the surrounding festivals, more or less, have the mentality of a melon-eating crowd to observe the development and changes of the current situation.

Tongzhou, Fengyi County.

As a neighbor of Hezhong Mansion, Tongzhou became vigilant the first time Li Shouzhen pulled up the flag to rebel, and Feng Yicheng, which was the governor of the state, was under full martial law.At the top of the city, soldiers are patrolling. The black flag, which symbolizes the great man, has not been taken off yet, and the "Xue" flag mixed in it seems a little crooked under the blowing of the autumn wind.

From a geographical point of view, Tongzhou is very important to Guanzhong, and it is the eastern barrier of the Weibei Plain.Basically, if the enemy in the east has to cross the river and take Feng Yi, they can take advantage of the situation and rush forward, sweeping across Weibei, and going straight to Jingzhao is not a problem.

Therefore, for a long time, Li Shouzhen tried his best to win over Xue Huairang, an ally who "shared the same hatred with the enemy", even if he despised him very much in his heart.You know, when Li Shouzhen was the ban commander, Xue Huairang was just a small character, and he was not in Li Shouzhen's eyes at all.Now, it is actually able to sit on an equal footing with it.

In the state capital, Jiedu envoy Xue Huairang was hiding in the back hall, sighing, looking hesitant.

Last year in Xingzhou, he was taught a lesson by Liu Chengyou and almost lost his head. In order to make up for him, Liu Zhiyuan moved him to Tongzhou Jiedu.After taking office, his habits have not changed, and he is still a bad government, focusing on amassing money.After all, when he was in Xingzhou, his family wealth was confiscated, so when he went to Tongzhou, he had to work hard to get it back.

During the days in Tongzhou, Xue Huairang's life was quite comfortable, but after Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, he couldn't be happier.When Zhouzhen Jiedu is suspicious of the court, he is already in danger

However, before Li Shouzhen's rebellion, the fight between the two sides was fierce, and when Hezhong's side came for real, Xue Huairang's side couldn't help but mutter again.

Although Li Shouzhen bragged a lot, as if it would be easy to march into the Central Plains and destroy the Han, but Xue Huairang thought in good conscience that he didn't have much confidence in whether he could succeed.He had met Liu Chengyou in Xingzhou last year, he was no ordinary young master, the ruthless character who almost cut himself off, how could he be frightened by Li Shouzhen.

Life and death, honor and disgrace, are closely related to each other. Xue Huairang seemed to realize how terrifying Liu Chengyou was.

On the other hand, Xue Huairang had already known his destiny, had been in the army for decades, worked hard from the mountains of corpses and blood, until his beard and hair were gray, and then he had the opportunity to become a party leader.For most military generals in this era, being able to become a town is already the pinnacle of their lives.

As far as Xue Huairang is concerned, the peaceful life of Jiedu, who is less than one year old, has almost worn down his will.Wife is dead, new wife and concubine, bridegroom every night, full of children and grandchildren, enjoying all the glory.In fact, if it wasn't for the incident in Xingzhou, Xue Huairang's brain would have been kicked by a donkey, so he would get so close to Li Shouzhen and do such a risky thing of rebellion.

"Jie Shuai, the envoy from the river is here again and said he must see you." The housekeeper rushed to him, stood at the door, and reported to the restless Xue Huairang.

"Is it really endless?" Xue Huairang burst out immediately, yelling, the fat on his fat face trembled.

After the rebellion, Li Shouzhen sent his confidant Sun Yuanxi to invite Xue Huairang to join the army.But after arriving at Feng Yi, he was put aside by Xue Huairang, who refused to see him several times.It was the fourth day, and this was the seventh time he had asked to see her.

"Where is the person?" Xue Huairang said in an aggressive tone.

"Main hall." The steward replied cautiously.

"Let him wait!"

According to Xue Huairang's original thoughts, he didn't want to talk to that guy, but after thinking about it, he decided to meet him.

"See Envoy Xue!" In the hall, Sun Yuan, the emissary of the river, was also full of anxiety. When he saw Xue Huairang, who was walking into the hall with windy footsteps, he immediately smiled and greeted him with a very low posture.

"I'm suffering from wind and cold, and I'm in a bad mood. I've neglected the messenger!" Looking at the messenger, Xue Huairang looked anxious, and said impatiently, "You came to see this commander, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Sun Yuan was taken aback for a moment, even though he no longer had much confidence in the goal of the trip, but seeing Xue Huairang's performance of pretending to be stupid, he still couldn't help being stunned, cupped his hands and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is here on the order of the King of Qin , please envoy the king to form an alliance according to the agreement."

Hearing what he said, Xue Huairang waved his hands again and again: "Hey, my eyesight is dim now, and I am powerless."

This Sun Yuan was obviously not suitable to be an envoy. Seeing this, he asked sharply: "What does the envoy mean by this? Do you want to break the contract and break the alliance?"

Who is Xue Huairang, how can this person be allowed to be rampant, and his heart suddenly became angry, but thinking that he seemed to have no "reason", so he replied: "How could it be, it is not a betrayal of the commander if I don't say a word. people."

Hearing what Xue Huairang said, the envoy's expression suddenly softened, and everything was really written on his face.However, Xue Huairang's next words turned him from sunny to cloudy.

"However, Tongzhou is not like the middle of the river. There are few soldiers and few generals, so it is difficult to use them. The king of Qin has many generals and strong strength. Presumably with the power of the river, the king of Qin is enough to achieve great things."

If Xue Huairang's words were heard by Li Shouzhen, it would probably make him so depressed that he vomited blood.It wasn't like this at all when she was "in love with adultery".

The envoy, Sun Yuan, was also choked up, and after a while, he said: "Your envoy, don't underestimate yourself. With the help of the Tongzhou army, it is like a tiger with wings added to the King of Qin."

"I'm only afraid that it will affect the great cause of the King of Qin. How about I lead the army to garrison Tongzhou to block the western army for the King of Qin?"

No matter how stupid he is, he dare not take Xue Huairang's words seriously.Feng Yi is not far from Hedong City, and Sun Yuan probably got Li Shouzhen's latest instructions after staying here for a few days.

He thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "In this case, the army of the same state will not be bothered. However, the king of Qin wants to lead the army to the west, and he will use Feng Yi to pass through the border. Please also ask the envoy to order Pu It should be no problem for the Jin defenders to let us go."

"It's natural, it's such a trivial matter!" Hearing this, Xue Huairang just thought about it for a while, waved his hand, and directly agreed: "The commander will issue the order later!"

"Soldiers are precious and fast, and please send the warrant as soon as possible so that they can pass." Sun Yuan asked, not very convinced.

Seeing this, Xue Huai frowned, a little dissatisfied.However, he still asked the subordinate officer to write down the military order face to face. He couldn't read, so he stamped the big seal and handed it to Sun Yuan.

"Thank you, envoy, I will take my leave now!"

"No delivery!"

After the envoy left, Xue Huairang hurriedly summoned Yajiang and said, "Go to Xipujin yourself and tell the guards not to let Pujun soldiers cross the river!"
