Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 666 Taking over the Sichuan Army
Back in his palace, King Qi finally had a sense of security.

Just as he was summoning his subordinates to continue drinking, the steward of the palace suddenly came to report in a hurry:

"Your Highness, Your Highness is not good, the palace is besieged."

what!
King Qi stood up, and someone dared to surround the palace. He rushed out with his sword in hand, and found that the man who led the troops to besiege the palace was a judge surnamed Zhang from Wei Jiansu's Jiedushi's mansion.

Judge Zhang already had a high status in Jiedushi's mansion. When Judge Zhang saw King Qi, he just bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, the Nanzhao bandits are besieging the city outside the city. , specially sent me to protect you."

"Protect?"

Looking at these soldiers with longbows and sharp blades, is this called protection?
King Qi was about to get angry when he saw Judge Zhang draw out his saber.

"If there really is an assassin, Your Highness must be careful that the sword has no eyes."

King Qi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out from his forehead when he heard these words.

The sword has no eyes, now the Chengdu government is at war, Wei Jiansu is Xichuan Jiedu envoy, if he reports to himself that he was assassinated by the Nanman and died for the country, his own emperor Lao Tzu can only recognize it by pinching his nose.

King Qi put down the sword in his hand dejectedly, only to hear Judge Zhang continue to say:
"In order to prevent the southern barbarian assassins from poisoning, let us also purchase from the Fuchu in the future."

After saying this, King Qi understood his situation. The Jiedu envoys of the state here are not civil servants of Chang'an, they really know how to kill people.

When King Qi returned to the mansion, he thought of the Zhang family that he was cooperating with. Yes, the soldiers and horse envoys of the Xichuan Army are also on my side!If it doesn't work, launch a mutiny and kill Wei Jiansu!

But King Qi was still worried about how to break through the blockade of the palace, when he got in touch with the Zhang family.

The steward of the palace once again brought news that made King Qi desperate.

Although Wei Jiansu is a civil servant, he was also a minister of the Ministry of War, and he is also skilled in dealing with these arrogant soldiers.

After sending troops to surround Qi Wang's mansion, Wei Jiansu immediately surrounded the Zhang family and the Zhang family racecourse.

After arresting more than a dozen lieutenants of the Xichuan Army and more than 30 commanders of the Xichuan Army in the racetrack, Wei Jiansu, in the name of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, charged Zhang Bin of the Xichuan Army's soldiers and horses with the crime of lax military management. Position.

The people of Chengdu heard that the Nanzhao army was besieging the city, and the generals of the Xichuan Army were still betting on horses in the casino, and they surrounded the barracks of the Xichuan Army with enthusiasm.

The officers of the Xichuan Army who participated in the horse race also knew that they were wronged, and they were all imprisoned by Wei Jiansu to wait for their punishment. Wei Jiansu quickly sent someone to control the military power of the Xichuan Army.

It's just that Wei Jiansu's subordinates lacked a team. He accepted Yang Zhener's recommendation "following the good" and sent all the "talents" nominated by Yang Zhener.

After hearing the news, King Qi's face was ashamed, and he remembered He Anguo's hexagram for himself, "Yizhou has dragon spirit"!What "from regular Ji"!
The enraged King Qi took his saber and went to He Anguo's other courtyard, but King Qi was in vain.

It turned out that before the Qi Palace was besieged, He Anguo had successfully escaped from the Qi Palace with the help of other players in Chengdu Mansion.

When King Qi killed He Anguo's other courtyard, all the gold, silver and jewelry he rewarded He Anguo had been taken away, even the antique vase that King Qi gave to He Anguo was taken away.

King Qi looked at the empty courtyard, and He Anguo left a letter on the table.

King Qi quickly opened the letter, and only saw the first line saying "He Anguo, a country alchemist, bows his head", and King Qi felt his head buzzing.

"Your Highness must have come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime when he saw this letter."

"The last hexagram that He gave His Royal Highness, 'Cong Zheng Ze Ji', is not only a good or bad fortune, but a fate for His Highness."

"Following righteousness will lead to good fortune, and following evil will lead to evil. If Your Highness always has kind thoughts, you will be able to keep wealth and wealth in your life. If you have evil thoughts in your heart, you will die without a place to bury yourself."

"People in the mountains and fields, I have a poem for Your Highness."

"The poor are all up to their fate, He Lao sighed.

But knowing what to do, don’t ask about your future.

Bingxupan is gone in winter, and grass grows spontaneously in spring.

Please look at this principle, the way of heaven is very clear. "

After reading He Anguo's letter, King Qi sat on the ground slumped.

In fact, since leaving Chang'an this time, King Qi has already had the heart to withdraw from the throne, and the court is dangerous. He also knows that he is not this material. What supported him before was just a bravery, and now most of it is gone.

But for things like seizing the heir, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and there is no such thing as quitting halfway.

So under the bewitchment of He Anguo, King Qi invited himself out of Chang'an and came to Sichuan.

Even if he gave up on seizing the heir, would the new king let him go?

This is the deepest fear in King Qi's heart, and it is also the reason why he drinks alcohol all day long. Being in the royal family, there are naturally many things that cannot be controlled.

However, He Anguo's letter made King Qi feel a little bit better.

Being born in the royal family is already countless times luckier than those grassroots people. This is already favored by the destiny, so why so much sorrow.

How many people seek survival but fail, seek wealth but fail, and they have obtained these easily.

It is obvious that many people have already stood at the end of their struggle, so why bother to lament the sadness of the future?
King Qi suddenly remembered the days when he was preparing military supplies in Nanyang. At that time, when Datang was in danger of survival, King Qi worked hard day and night in Nanyang, but it was also the most fulfilling moment in his life.

"Is Cong Zheng Ze Ji?" Qi Wang looked at these four words and fell into deep thought.

On May 27, the Zhongyong Army, which had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared behind the Nanzhao army and attacked the Nanzhao camp at night.

Hu Yu rushed into the Nanzhao camp at night and set fire to it, causing chaos in the Nanzhao camp.

At dawn, Hu Yu once again led the Zhongyong army into the Nanzhao camp, and once killed the Chinese army's camp.

The general of the Nanzhao army hurriedly summoned his generals to stand firm, which blocked Hu Yu's attack, but at this time the morale of the Nanzhao army was completely defeated.

Seeing the low morale of his side and the neat appearance of the Zhongyong Army, the general of Nanzhao finally decided to retreat temporarily and give up the siege of Chengdu.

But Hu Yu was still in hot pursuit, and on the way of Nanzhao's retreat, he pursued him tail-to-tail. Nanzhao left thousands of soldiers again, and then escaped near Chengdu.

After Hu Yu chased for two hundred miles, the Nanzhao army fled back to the mountains in southern Sichuan, and Hu Yu gave up the pursuit.

This battle of the loyal and brave army pursued death and chased the north, and achieved fruitful results. When the chasing Nanzhao army returned to Chengdu, Wei Jiansu opened the city gates of Chengdu, and the people in Chengdu warmly welcomed Hu Yu's loyal army squadron.

After this battle, Wei Jiansu discussed his meritorious service to the imperial court, and the Zhongyong Army was naturally the number one contributor. However, the Xichuan Army, who showed their hips in this battle, was cast aside by everyone in Chengdu. They also had family members who joined the army. When he joins the army, his neighbors will praise him as a good man, and if there is an old or weak family member, the neighbors will send him food.

If you were participating in the Xichuan Army, your neighbors would spit when they walked to the door.

The soldiers of the Xichuan Army couldn't hold their heads up, but they were inferior in fighting, and the officers were corrupt and gambled on horses. No wonder the people in Chengdu despised them so much.

After Hu Yu returned to Chengdu, he immediately asked Wei Jiansu to reorganize the Xichuan Army.

When the news reached the Xichuan Army, the soldiers of the Xichuan Army were overjoyed!
I have long heard that the Zhongyong Army is well paid. Although there is no reward, the monthly salary is higher than that of the Xichuan Army, and it has never been in arrears.

There are also medical expenses for injuries, and there are special military doctors in the Zhongyong Army to treat illnesses.

If unfortunately died in battle, the family members can also receive pensions, all of which are guaranteed by Mrs. Yang's credit, and there has never been arrears.

Even the families of the soldiers who died in the Zhongyong Army were hired by Yang Zhen'er, and they could live a good life in Chengdu.

Now that Yang Zhen'er has many industries under his command, if he is a member of the Zhongyong Army, it will be easier for him to find a job in Chengdu.

Moreover, as a member of the army, the Xichuan army was often beaten and scolded by their superiors, and even their salaries were deducted. Some captains and brigade commanders regarded soldiers as slaves and asked them to work in their homes.

But the military discipline of the Zhongyong Army is excellent, and this kind of thing has never happened. They are all soldiers anyway, so it is naturally better to go to the Zhongyong Army.

Although the officers of the Xichuan Army were not happy, a group of officers were arrested at the Zhangjia Racecourse last time and are still locked up in their cells. The envoy Zhang Bin has already been imprisoned. The opposition did not make any waves.

Hu Yu successfully obtained the military order to reorganize the Xichuan Army, and then used the remaining barracks of the Nanzhao Army to reorganize and train soldiers in the barracks.

The siege of Nanzhao has been lifted, but the number of soldiers "protecting" the Qi Palace has increased.

The entire Prince Qi Mansion was surrounded, and soldiers worked in three shifts to "protect" King Qi, but the entire city of Chengdu, from the officials to the common people, kept silent about this matter.

King Qi, who was trapped in the mansion, suddenly became much quieter, and did not resist making noise. He heard that he was studying and practicing calligraphy in the mansion every day, which surprised the players who were monitoring King Qi.

Could it be that King Qi has changed his temper?
However, the threat of Nanzhao is still there now. The Battle of Chengdu only solved the siege of Chengdu, and Nanzhao's main force was not damaged.

Players are busy training soldiers and have no time to take care of King Qi.

Sichuan is in full swing, and Chengdu is busy with military training.

The prince's guard of honor also entered Bianzhou City at the end of May.
