Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 821: Handwriting!All I want!
At that time, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui had already guessed Wei Xiaojie's plan to slow down the army. Su Dingfang secretly thought that if Wei Xiaojie could get away and spread the news of Li You's rebellion, then he would have a chance to escape from the predicament. Li You was forced to follow the dangerous situation of rebellion.

"My lord, now is the time when we are employing people. Master Wei has soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. If you can use them as the main force in the army, you can strengthen the army's combat power. Why not do it? The minister and General Xue are here, I hope Lord Wei won’t leave me behind and think otherwise, please grant Lord Wei’s request, and congratulate him on getting an elite soldier.”

In terms of strategy, Li You and his subordinates loyal to him are the opponents of Su Dingfang and others, this fellow thought a little bit, and ordered Zan Junmo to lead a hundred soldiers to monitor Wei Xiaojie to act.

Wei Xiaojie and Zan Junmo came out of the palace, thinking to themselves that they had thousands of elite soldiers, and in desperation, this fellow took Zan Junmo and other soldiers to the place where the trusted generals of the "Youzhou" army were stationed in the city, and waited at the gate of the camp At the place, Wei Xiaojie said to Zan Junmo.

"You and I will lead the soldiers to wait here for a while, and wait for Wei to find the leading general under his command."

Zan Junmo agreed, and Wei Xiaojie called the soldiers who came to patrol the barracks to let the generals of the barracks come out to meet them.

After a while, a member of the army suddenly put on his whole body and rode out on his horse. When he saw Wei Xiaojie, he jumped off his horse and knelt down to pay respects.

Wei Xiaojie took the opportunity of stepping forward to support the general, quietly handed over the jade token that he carried with him to the general and said loudly.

"Get up and bring out the thousands of elites that the governor has hidden in the army!"

The general was not aware of the meaning of the jade tablet in his hand. At this time, he heard the lord Du Du speak strangely. Besides, why did the Du Du ask him to come out to meet him when he came to the barracks? All kinds of unusual behaviors made the general feel hesitant and raised his head. Seeing the look in the eyes of the governor, he understood it in his heart.

The general got up and went back to the camp, and after a short while, he saw hundreds of cavalry in the camp coming out on horseback. Several leading generals took advantage of the opportunity of dismounting to pay homage to the governor, and at the same time attacked Zan Junmo, so that Wei Xiaojie had a chance to get out of this guy's control middle.

When Wei Xiaojie jumped on his horse and was surrounded by cavalry, Zan Junmo and a hundred soldiers were surrounded by the army.

After killing most of the soldiers under Zan Junmo's command, Wei Xiaojie sent people to take Zan Junmo who had been killed and captured under strict supervision, quickly wrote a memorial, and sent three messengers to "Youzhou" city to Chang'an to urgently report Li You's rebellion to the imperial court Things.

At this time, the four gates of "Youzhou" city are closed, and if you want to go out of the city, you must have the token of the palace. For the time being, Zan Junmo happens to have this token on him, otherwise, Wei Xiaojie will be out of trouble and want to send Li You out for rebellion. The news is not easy.

The messengers of the three routes ran non-stop and galloped through the starry night. One of the messengers, within less than half a day, met the imperial guard of honor who was going to "Youzhou" to pass the decree and went to Liao to appease Xu Tian.

Doctor Yushi, Zhongshu Ling, and Wen Yanbo, Duke of Xihe County, got messengers to report the news of Li You's rebellion. Shocked, they ordered their troops to choose a place to station, and quickly wrote a memorial to send them to Chang'an to report urgently. Go to Xu Jun to ask Xu Tian to send troops to support him.

A few days passed in a flash, and almost at the same time as the envoys sent by Wei Xiaojie and Wen Yanbo, Liu Dewei arrived in the capital and reported the news of Li You's rebellion to the imperial court.

Li Shimin was rewarded, and in anger and heartache, he declared Li Jing to enter the court, and the face of the Taiji Hall turned ashen and said to the ministers.

"Li You rebelled against his son and abandoned his father and brother. The crime deserves death. Li Jing restrained the soldiers of Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji and other prefectures. Lead the troops of Xu Jiajun and Wei Xiaojie to encircle and suppress the rebels in Youzhou on the front line of Gubeikou."

Li Jing received the letter from the emperor reprimanding Li You, and quickly led his own soldiers to the Ministry of War to issue a document, mobilizing troops from several states to assemble ten miles away from "Youzhou" city at the appointed time, and immediately left Beijing with Liu Dewei to "Youzhou" "Prepare to counter the rebellion.

At this time, in the city of "Youzhou", Li You did not see Wei Xiaojie leading the army to return, and Zan Junmo, the leader who was loyal to the palace, was also missing. Knowing that something had happened unexpectedly, he ordered Liang Mengbiao to lead the army to arrest him Wei Xiaojie was also looking for Zan Junmo's trace, and the palace said to Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui impatiently.

"Do the two generals submit to me or do they want to learn from Wei Xiaojie? I don't have time to waste time with you, so let's clarify the words today. If you submit, you will be a minister of the dragon and enjoy the honor of the world. Otherwise, next year today will be the day of your death, so where do you go from here, please give me a refreshing word from the two generals."

Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui heard Li Youzhi's words, and knew that Wei Xiaojie must have heard the news of Li You's rebellion. How can the tens of thousands of troops in "Youzhou" be the opponent of the imperial army? Under the control of Jie's confidant, how could he do his best to work for Li You? In view of his own safety, he thought of looking for an opportunity to contact the imperial army or Wei Xiaojie to become the internal response to the rebellion against Li You. Both of them agreed to be driven by Li You.

Li You was overjoyed, so he rewarded the two with countless gold and silver, and ordered them to follow him as lieutenant generals, but he did not dare to fully trust them to make them the leading generals.

Liang Mengbiao led his troops to search for Wei Xiaojie in the city for several days, but he could not be found, so he had no choice but to report back to Li You.

Li You was furious. In addition to ordering to continue the search, he sent troops to strengthen the defense in the city and sent envoys to Xu Jun to seek backup. He said that after the event was completed, he would share the world with Qin Wenyuan.

After Qin Wenyuan received Li You's messenger in the army, he handed Li You's letter to Wen Yanbo, who had already been in Xu's army, to read.

"How should Master Qin respond?"

"My king's intention is to temporarily stabilize Li You's rebel army in Youzhou City, so that they will not lead their troops to wreak havoc in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, so as to prevent the common people from suffering unreasonable disasters. When the imperial court suppresses the rebellion army, it is as expected by the imperial court. There is a decree for Xu Jun to participate in the rebellion against Li You, Mr. Wen does not have to doubt that the king will collude with Li You to the detriment of the court, such a brainless prince, how can this king not know his wolf ambitions, and the Qin family's ambition is not in the world. The family has been for generations, and the people under the rule live and work in peace and contentment."

"It's good, it's good! Your Majesty Qin is very fortunate to have a childlike heart, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are very fortunate. It's Wen who used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman. Lord Qin forgive me."

"Master Wen, you don't have to be polite. The gap between Qin Wenyuan and the emperor is due to different political ideas. It's nothing more than seeing that the aristocratic families in the court control the government for their own interests, but they are full of benevolence and morality, which makes people sick. However, the emperor's so-called consideration of the overall situation, this king is It’s not flattering, the imperial court puts the well-being of the people in the world first, but it doesn’t take practical actions to benefit the people, all it does is good-sounding words, and what it defends is only the rights of those with vested interests, it’s really ridiculous.”

Qin Wenyuan's words made Wen Yanbo speechless, he thought to himself that these words really revealed the shortcomings of the court's administration, thinking that the ministers in the court said that this son is a monster and a great talent, he really deserves the name.

Besides, Li Youde sent Xu Jun's officials to report that Qin Wenyuan seemed to have the intention of cooperating. This guy didn't even think about the possibility of this. He actually relaxed in the palace and spent all day with Yan Hongliang and other fake officials and his princess. They feast.

This guy thought he was successful, and while laughing and talking about the officers and troops that the imperial court would send to conquer, Yan Hongliang spoke boldly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll serve the wine with my right hand, and use my left hand to slash and kill the Emperor. Why are you afraid of the officers and soldiers!"

Li You was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he believed it deeply. When Li Jing's soldiers arrived, he sent messengers to the city to present Li Shimin's letter. When Li You received the letter and saw his father's reprimand, he already had a complicated state of mind, but it was said in Li Shimin's letter .

"Nizi, I once told you not to get close to villains, but you took my good words as nonsense, thinking that you have always been surly and lacking in virtue, and were bewitched by flattering remarks, and eventually brought disaster upon yourself. I am heartbroken! You It's really stupid to the extreme, turning into a person like a scorpion, forgetting loyalty and filial piety, disturbing Youzhou, and dying. You can't be a person who maintains the empire, but is as dangerous as a pile of firewood, destroying the blood relationship like a rock, and becoming a provocateur You violated propriety and righteousness, and was forbidden by heaven and earth. You abandoned your father and brother to betray the monarch, and you were enraged by both men and gods. You used to be my son, but today you have become the enemy of the empire. Quan Wanji was killed by you, although he died No, it doesn't prevent him from accomplishing righteousness. You were born a thief and died a rebellious ghost. You didn't have a good reputation in the past, and now you have endless bad deeds. I heard that Uncle Zheng and Prince Li of the Western Han Dynasty have done rampant things. Father expects to give birth to such a rebellious son like you? I am ashamed to go to heaven, and ashamed to go down to earth. I am so sorry, I don’t know what else to say to you..."

This reprimand letter, which seemed to contain Li Shimin's sadness, made Li You feel both angry and unbearable to cut off his blood. When he was hesitating how to deal with Li Jing's army, the royal guard reported that his "Youzhou" Wei Xiao The soldiers under Jie's command refused to serve Li You, and there was no response to the military order sent to the cities under the jurisdiction of "Youzhou" to transfer troops.

Seeing this situation, Li You urgently asked Qin Wenyuan to send troops to rescue, but his subordinates reported that Xu Jun stood still, so there was no intention of rescue.

Yan Hongliang and other royal officials persuaded Li Youlu to take the people in the city as hostages and flee to the mountains in "Youzhou" to carry out banditry, in order to gain space for reorganization and rebellion.

However, before this matter was settled, Cao Du Xingmin, a soldier stationed in "Youzhou" by the imperial court in advance, got the news that Su Dingfang secretly came from the palace, so he ordered the soldiers to secretly set up a plan to arrest Li You.

Just when Li Jing's army began to attack the city and Qin Wenyuan led the army to respond from the direction of "Gubeikou", Du Xingmin took advantage of the chaos in the palace and ordered the soldiers to quietly surround the palace to arrest Li You. After digging through the wall of the palace, he led the army in.

At that time, Li Jing's army and Xu's army had already attacked the two gates of "Youzhou", and Wei Xiaojie led the army to pacify the chaos in the city.

In the palace, Li You, Yan Hongliang and others were all dressed in armor, hiding indoors and holding bows and crossbows to resist tenaciously. Du Xingmin was afraid of hurting Li You's life, but on the contrary, he was a little afraid to make a large-scale destruction of the army. enemy……

During the stalemate between the two sides, Du Xingmin had no choice but to surround him with soldiers. From the confrontation in the morning to noon, he still couldn't think of a way to capture Li You without hurting his life.

With Du Xingmin's soldiers offering advice, it is better to use fire attack to force the people in the room to disarm and surrender.

Du Xingmin was overjoyed and thought the plan was feasible, so he shouted loudly to the people in the room.

"My lord Li, you are the emperor's son, and the last general does not want to hurt your life. However, I will punish the rebellious ministers and thieves. If the king does not surrender, he will eventually attack him with fire. At that time, all jade and stone will be burned. No wonder the last general Don't show affection."

After this guy finished speaking, he pretended to have the army bring a lot of firewood and pile it up outside the house, causing the soldiers to make rockets on their strong bows to light the firewood.

Li You and others saw this situation from the window of the room, and this guy was afraid of being charred by the fire and his face would be changed beyond recognition, so he screamed loudly at Du Xingmin through the window.

"Wait a minute, General Du. It's not because Li You didn't want to surrender, but he didn't want to see Yan Hongliang and others lose their lives for someone. If the general can guarantee their lives, then Li You surrendered."

"The last general promises not to hurt the lives of all the princes, so come out and surrender!"

Li You got Du Xingmin's guarantee, so he opened the door and came out. At this time, Li Jing and Qin Wenyuan came here as well.

Seeing that Li You was captured, Li Jing didn't want to talk more with this guy, so he sent the army to the army to guard him strictly. He ordered Du Xingmin and others to goug out the eyes of Yan Hongliang and other rebellious officials, and then flogged them to death in the city.

In the governor's yamen, Li Jing and Qin Wenyuan sat side by side, and the generals of Tang Jun and Xu Jun under their command stood on both sides.

Wei Xiaojie led Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui to the yamen to report that dozens of members of Li Youyu's party in the "Youzhou" army were arrested.

But it turned out that when Li Jing attacked the city, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui came out of the palace under the pretext of leading the army to supervise the battle. After finding Wei Xiaojie, the three of them led the army to defeat Li You's soldiers guarding the city gate. After opening the city gate to welcome Li Jing's army, they got Li Jing He ordered to quickly appease the defenders in the city and arrest the party members loyal to Li You in the army.

"Master Li, the last general and others have escorted the captured Li Youyu party to the army,

Come here to pay the order! "

"General Wei has worked hard. Before Li went to Youzhou, the emperor had ordered Mr. Wen to announce the decree. How about I ask Mr. Wen to discuss the matter of Youzhou after the decree?"

"The final general will follow the orders of the superior!"

Wen Yanbo got up from the throne to read the emperor's will, but it was just that Wei Xiaojie was granted the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, so that the military affairs of Youzhou were completely placed in his hands. It is a trade-off strategy for the military to handle the mutual non-aggression of the relationship.

Unexpectedly, because of Li You's rebellion, Wen Yanbo had not had time to declare the decree to carry out the matter, but instead let the Qin army participate in the encirclement of the rebels.

At this time, bigwigs from all sides gathered in the city of "Youzhou", just in time to resolve the dispute between the two armies in "Gubeikou".

Qin Wenyuan came to the army from Wen Yanbo to convey the court's comfort to him, and after reading Li Shimin's autographed letter to him, his anger has subsided a lot.

In Li Shimin's letter, Qin Wenyuan said.

"I know your great talent and what you want to do in your life. This is an act that benefits the country and the people. Li You made the army ignorant of the depth and indulged Su Dingfang and others to disturb the people of all ethnic groups who are comfortable with the people's livelihood. The conflict between the two armies is the responsibility of Because the ministers of the imperial court did not handle things properly, you don't have to hold them accountable anymore. I allow you to be arbitrary in matters in the Northeast. However, I want Li Jing to lead the army to participate in the war in Koryo, so that the turmoil in Koryo can be calmed down as soon as possible. I am too lazy to argue with you as a self-proclaimed lord, don’t you have a lot of ideas, then come up with a policy strategy that will benefit the subjects of the Tang Dynasty to be worthy of the title of lord, otherwise, you will cut off the title of lord yourself. Go back to the capital and take up your post in the Ministry of War, and use your great talents to make my army invincible."
