Chapter 536 The Storm in the River East (8)

Looking at Liu Chong, Li Wanchao asked: "Your Majesty, I have a doubt, and I hope to enlighten you!"

"Please speak, Li Shijun!" Noticing the incongruity in his tone, Liu Chong looked at him calmly.

Li Wanchao said: "Duke Zheng and I, following the imperial court's order, led soldiers from the state to come for selection. I heard that Prime Minister Fan Zhi and the generals of the imperial army who selected the soldiers have all arrived in Jinyang. Your Majesty hosted a banquet. Why are they not here?" , this seems to be incompatible with etiquette!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chong smiled lightly and said, "This is where our officials from Hedong gather. I have to discuss important matters with the two of you alone. That's why I didn't invite Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin to the banquet!"

"I don't know Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Li Wanchao asked with his head raised.

Meeting his eyes, Liu Chong glanced at Zheng Qian again, and said slowly: "You two, one is a veteran, and the other is a veteran general. They have worked hard for a big man and have done a lot of work. Now the imperial court ordered the north to come, and the intention is obvious. , it’s called selecting elite soldiers, and it’s really about taking power. If you follow it, I’m afraid that what we have won all our lives, fame and fortune, will be exhausted, and you will not be able to protect the position of the envoy, guarding one side, and being at ease!”

"According to Your Majesty's wishes, what should we do?" Zheng Qian finally spoke.

Liu Chong smiled slightly, raised his glass, and said in a loud voice: "The power of Fangzhen Jiedu is a century-old inheritance in the world. The emperor changed it without authorization, which is the way to bring disaster to the country. As an uncle of the emperor, to protect the country, we should take active actions. The above admonishes Tokyo, please take back the chaos! In this way, the country can be consolidated, and you can keep your wealth!"

After listening to his words, Li Wanchao said directly: "How does Your Majesty plan to appeal?"

"Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Jinyang, my son Chengjun has four thousand soldiers in Fenzhou, three thousand soldiers in Xinzhou, and two six thousand soldiers. If you add the rest of the tribe and township soldiers, there are [-] troops! Now The two of you who have brought troops to Taiyuan are ready to join hands with Gu and join hands in a grand event for a great cause!" Liu Chong said a little excitedly.

"Your Majesty is planning to remonstrate!" Li Wanchao fixed his eyes on Liu Chong.

For his attitude, suppressing the anger in his heart, Liu Chong raised his glass again, holding it in both hands: "You two, as long as you drink this cup to the full, you will be regarded as an alliance with the lonely!"

After finishing speaking, he stared fixedly at Zheng Qian and Li Wanchao, waiting for their reply.

Under Liu Chong's watchful eyes, Li Wanchao slowly picked up the cup, held it in front of his chest, and immediately said sternly: "Your Majesty's move is for rebellion, I swear not to do it!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the wine glass on the ground viciously, following Li Wanchao's movement, Zheng Qian also threw the glass.The sound of the ground represents the firm will of the two.

Seeing this, although he was angry, Liu Chong was not too surprised, he couldn't help laughing for a while, and then his expression turned cold, and his tone was cold: "Since you two don't know the current affairs and don't share the same path with Gu, then you can't blame Gu! Since you have come to this station for the meeting, then you are out of control, at this moment, do you not have any self-knowledge?"

"Your Majesty is referring to the ambush soldiers in the post?" Li Wanchao squatted up with his sword, his eyes were cold.

"I don't know, Li Shijun is a mighty fighter! But now that you are old and not what you used to be, with you and that mere dozen or so songs, do you still want to resist?" Liu Chong smiled contemptuously, and suddenly raised his voice Said: "Come on!"

After saying that, there were many people outside the house, and the voices of the soldiers rushed to the hall. The captain of Liu Chong's guard took the lead to face Zheng and Li.Seeing the situation, the trilogy of the two also followed in, keeping aside.

Liu Chong got up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a complacent expression: "Gu will give you another chance, as long as you help Gu and recruit soldiers, I can spare you all!"

"Hahaha" Hearing his words, Li Wanchao suddenly burst into laughter, and glanced at Liu Chong meaningfully: "Don't you be curious, knowing that this may be a Hongmen banquet, Zheng Gong and I still dare to take our relatives to the banquet?"

"It's all about the power of the generals under your command!" Liu Chong said confidently: "Now, you are held by me, and the remaining soldiers have no leader. Although it is troublesome, you can take it in leisurely!"

Compared to Zheng Qian's nervousness, Li Wanchao sat up slowly, and said to Liu Chong: "My lord, listen outside, there must be some movement!"

Liu Chongwei was naive, he only acted as a ghost to delay time, and directly ordered him to be captured.The fierce hand-to-hand fight unfolded in the hall, and Liu Chong was guarded aside, watching the play with great interest.

Not long after, from outside the posthouse, the killing sounds that Zheng and Li were waiting for finally erupted, and they went straight to Zhongshe.Liu Chong heard the sound, his face changed drastically, and he immediately sent people out to investigate, while ordering the hall to step up the strangling of Zheng, Li and their trilogy.

"My lord, it's not good, the guards were surrounded and attacked! The attackers are so fierce that the tooth soldiers can't resist it!" The guards came to report.

Liu Chong came to Yongli Station this time and brought out half of his battalion of guards, but it was less than 300 people.Listening to the movement outside, there are quite a few troops attacked.

Hearing the news, Liu Chong couldn't help turning pale, and shouted: "What's going on, inside and outside Jinyang, everything is under Gu's control, where did the soldiers come from?"

"It's the forbidden army of the imperial court!" Another soldier officer said hastily.

"Impossible!" Liu Chong couldn't believe it, and became even more flustered: "The imperial army is under surveillance in the barracks, how could it be possible to dispatch, where is Li Ting?"

"General Li is leading people to resist! Your Majesty, the situation is critical. The last general will fight his way out and escort your Majesty back to the city. As long as you return to the city, you can summon the Yabing soldiers to quell the chaos!" Liu Chong was still somewhat loyal.

"Yes! Yes, yes!" Liu Chong hurriedly responded.

At this time, Zheng Gong stood up again, with a serious face, and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, it is dark and windy, the situation outside the station is dark and unclear, and the sword has no eyes. The imperial army is only five hundred soldiers, so let the guards stand guard." Guard post, protect the king. Just send someone, go out and summon the tooth soldiers from the city, and come to rescue him!"

"Yes! Yes! What you said is true!" Hearing what Zheng Gong said, Liu Chong felt reasonable again, and immediately ordered to the officer: "Did you hear that? Immediately notify Li Ting and ask him to send someone to call the tooth soldiers to help." !"

"Yes!"

At this time, Li Wanchao had led the fierce fighting, and the remaining ten or so people rushed out of the hall to protect Zheng Qian.Li Wanchao lived up to his reputation for bravery, he practiced martial arts, he was nearly fifty years old, and he could still leap forward with a sword.

The sound of killing outside was still there, Liu Chongku was in the post hall, he was restless, his face was panicked, he wanted to go out to have a look, but he was discouraged.My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, why the forbidden army suddenly launched an attack on Yongli Station, and why the tooth soldiers arranged by Li Ting were not ordered to stop and control them.

Time continued to pass, the killing sound outside was weakening, and the movement was decreasing, but there was no sign of the reinforcements he was expecting.

Until, the outside became quiet, and the remaining dozens of guards were driven into the hall.Immediately following was the influx of forbidden troops, led by Zhao Kuangyin.Yingwei's face was stained with blood, and his eyes were stern, staring straight at Liu Chong.Li Wanchao and Zheng Qian also followed him.

"Zhao, Zhao Kuangyin!" Liu Chong's voice was trembling, and he asked guiltily, "You, how dare you! How dare you lead an army to attack and kill the lonely guards? Do you want to rebel?"

"Whoever harbors treasonous intentions, the king knows it! The last general is only following the order to quell the chaos!" Zhao Kuangyin said calmly, and then threw a head in his hand to Liu Chong.

"Li Ting!" The head rolled over, revealing the face dripping with blood, Liu Chong was startled and angry: "How dare you kill me, General Hedong Ya!"

Ignoring Liu Chong, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the remaining [-] or so soldiers in the hall, and said sharply, "You guys still haven't put down your weapons, do you really want to fight to the end and become an enemy of the imperial court?"

Zhao Kuangyin's gaze was extraordinarily sharp, no one dared to look directly at it.The guards were also hesitant, looking left and right, all looking at Liu Chong.

"Put it down! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted angrily.

Intimidated by it, one of the guards dropped his sword, and the rest followed suit, throwing away their swords one after another.

Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Zhao Kuangyin directly ordered to detain him.The hall was completely quiet, the smell of blood was still mixed with the aroma of wine and meat, but the scene was a mess.

The team spread out, leaving an empty path, and Li Shaoyou walked in slowly, stepping on the messy ground, one step at a time, followed by a dozen or so black-clothed martial arts soldiers.

"It's you!" Of course Liu Chong recognized Li Shaoyou.

Glancing around a few times, looking at him, Li Shaoyou cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Emperor, the situation forces me to be rude to this junior! Please forgive me for disturbing you!"

Liu Chong's lips trembled, thinking of Wu Desi, and seeing Li Shaoyou with his own eyes, a lot of information came to his mind at once, thinking about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

"The younger generation knows that Uncle Huang has a lot of questions, but right now, stabilizing the overall situation in Jinyang and even Hedong is the most important thing! When the situation is stable, let's talk about the old days!" Li Shaoyou said calmly, turned his head, and told Zheng Gong: "Zheng Gong, help the emperor get into the car and drive back to Jinyang!"

"After returning to Jinyang, I gathered all the officials in the city to assist Prime Minister Fan Xianggong, calm people's hearts, and stabilize the department. In the name of staying behind the mansion, control the east Yabing soldiers!"

"Yes!" Zheng Gong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly responded.

Seeing the two responding so naturally, Liu Chong turned pale again, pointing at Zheng Gong: "You, you"

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Gong bowed his head and said, "Your official is ashamed!"
