Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 683 Burning Yuwen Shu

Outside Liaodong City, beside the Daliangshui River, there is the Victory Station.

Luo Cheng is here to bid farewell to Song Laosheng. This veteran has been Luo Cheng's lieutenant since the first Eastern Expedition. He has followed Luo Cheng's footsteps for several years, and the relationship between the two has always been good.Previously, he was the prefect for Jian'an, but when he adjusted the troops and established the Fourth Army last time, Luo Cheng didn't give him the post of military envoy. The post is still concurrently the prefect of Jian'an Jian.

Today, Andong Road is still divided into six counties and eighteen counties, but on the other hand, the soldiers and horses have been changed to the four armies.In fact, the soldiers and horses of Liucheng and Liaoxi counties in western Liaoning were all incorporated into the first army.The soldiers and horses of Jian'an and Lushun counties were all merged into the Fourth Army.

Therefore, the prefects of Jian'an and Liaoxi counties no longer care about soldiers.

Song Laosheng, the veteran of the Zhongwu Army, withdrew from the ranks of the army, but the newcomer Li Jing became the envoy of the first army. It is impossible to say that he has no idea. Fortunately, Luo Cheng took the initiative to talk to Song Laosheng for a long time. Finally untied his knot.

Luo Cheng only told him one thing, that is, he didn't trust Feng Deyi, the appeasement envoy, so the appeasement envoy's yamen had to have someone of his own, and he had to have enough prestige, Song Laosheng was the most suitable person.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng asked Song Laosheng to take charge of forming a fleet.

It is said that it is Anton's transport fleet, which includes a sea transport team and an inland river transport team, but in fact Luo Cheng is not as simple as just getting two transport fleets.

In these two transport fleets, there is a navy hidden in each, which is responsible for escorting at ordinary times, and can also transport troops at critical times, and even land for operations.

The scale of the two navy is not large, each with 2000 troops and dozens of ships, but they have the ability to transport [-] people.

Now Luo handed over an important task to Song Laosheng, that is, he would take the sea fleet to Pyongyang, which was Yang Wanchun's Lelang County and the fiefdom of Qi Wang Yang Hao.

Luo Cheng asked Song Laosheng to go there as Andong Dao's deputy appeasement envoy, and mobilized Yang Wanchun to send troops to threaten and contain the Goguryeo people from the rear.

"I heard that Yang Wanchun is seriously ill and is about to die. Go over and find a way to support a new prefect who can follow us. If Yang Wanchun's man is not good enough, then find a way to replace him. If it doesn't work, you can go first He also serves as the prefect of Lelang County."

In addition to letting Song Laosheng take his First Fleet to Pyongyang, Luo Cheng also gave him another 4000-strong village soldier. Although the fighting power was not as good as the regular Zhongwu Army, it was well equipped and the soldiers were strong.It also has two thousand infantry, one thousand light cavalry and one thousand auxiliary soldiers.

"It's really not the right time for Yang Wanchun to be critically ill. He and Yuan Taizuo are deadly rivals. If he were here, he would definitely stick to Yuan's death. But now that he is critically ill at this time, I really don't know what his successor will be. how is it like."

Luo Cheng refilled Song Laosheng's tea and said with a smile, "I think it's the right time for him to die. Don't think that Yang Wanchun is against Yuan Shi, but this person has never really turned against us. He wants to use our power to restore his Goguryeo country. With him one day, Lelang County will not really belong to us. If he dies now, we may have the opportunity to take Lelang County and the millions of people into our pockets in advance. .”

Yang Wanchun is a die-hard Goguryeo Restoration Royalist Party, even though Gao's subjugation is so thorough, he still never forgets to restore his homeland.

Sending away Song Laosheng, Luo Cheng hadn't returned to Liaodong City when he met Yiqi who came with an express letter.

Now Luocheng has established an efficient and fast post system in Andong. Not only are post stations every [-] miles along the two main lines, but there are water stations and sea stations in Bailangshui, Liaohe and Bohai Sea. There are post boats on the banks of Bailangshui and Liaohe River in Jundao, Miaodao Island in Bailang Bay, to deliver news.

In the Central Plains, Luo Cheng and Zhang Liang's secret guards were in charge of inquiring information, and in the two capitals and the three prefectures, there were special offices responsible for collecting and passing on information.

"Yu Wenshu is dead."

The latest news is very exciting, the old dog Yu Wenshu has finally died, he died on the way back to the Central Plains to recover.But there was something strange about this one who died, he didn't die of illness or anything.

When he was passing through Jiaozhi County, when he was resting in the post at night, the post caught fire and was burned to death.

As we all know, the person stationed in Jiaozhi County is Annan Jiedu envoy Luo Yi, the Duke of Yan, who is a sworn enemy of Yu Wenshu, and he directly blew Yu Wenshu's eye in front of the emperor.

Now Yu Wenshu passed through Annanjiaozhi from Yunnan to return to Beijing to be a prime minister, but he caught fire in the post station and died.

This is simply more than falling into the water and drowning on a boat, and it makes people daydream.

The biggest possibility is that Luo Yi deliberately set fire to Yu Wenshu to death.

Luo Yi didn't give Yu Wenshu a chance to return to Beijing to be a prime minister, so he sent him to the west.

really.

The next day, another message was urgently delivered to Luo Cheng from the post road.

The emperor of Jiangdu was furious when he heard the result.

The emperor decreed that Luo Yi should be relieved of his post as Annan Jiedu envoy, and Luo Yi should be summoned to Beijing, where he would be given the title of General Zuo Xiaowei and Minister of the Ministry of War.

Originally, the minister of the Ministry of War belonged to Yu Wenshu, but now it is awarded to Luo Yi, but Yu Wenshu was originally the minister of the Ministry of War with the title of Canzhizhengshi, and now Luo Yi is only the minister of the Ministry of War, which means that Luo Yi did not succeed Yu Wenshu as prime minister.

There were many rumors that the emperor wanted to call Luo Yi back to ask him to punish him and punish him.

Hearing this news, Luo Cheng frowned.

In his opinion, there is no need for Luo Yi to kill Yu Wenshu. Like most people, he believes that Yu Wenshu was deliberately set on fire by Luo Yi.

But burning Yu Wenshu to death was a pleasure, but he also had to face the emperor's wrath.

Luo Cheng hurriedly sent a letter to Luo Yi, telling him not to return to the Central Plains. As a result, within a few days after his letter was sent, news came back. Luo Yi claimed to be sick in Annan, presuming that he would not be able to enter the court, and said that he would not be able to enter the court after his illness recovered. Then he entered the court to plead guilty.

This kind of blatant defiance is tantamount to conspiracy.

But Jiangdu was surprisingly silent.

Everyone knows how furious the emperor is at the moment, but An Nanyuan is at the southern corner of the sky, Luo Yi really wants to resist the order, and the emperor can't do anything for a while.

In particular, he had to worry about Luo Yi having two nephews who were Jiedu envoys, and an older brother who was the deputy envoy of Jiedu who was in command of the army.

Luo Cheng hurriedly wrote another letter to Siye who was still in Dingxiang, asking him to postpone the handover and not go to Longyou for now. He asked Siye to meet and discuss at Linyuguan first.

Originally, the emperor transferred his heir to Longyou as Jiedushi, Luo Cheng was very supportive, after all, at the earliest time, Luo Cheng and Luo Yi discussed to let Luo Yi go to Qinghai, which is close to Xijing, so there is a lot to do.

But in the current situation, no one knows where it will develop because of Luo Yi's matter, so it is undoubtedly the safest not to hand over Dingxiangdao for the time being.
