A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 266 Hunting King Yan
After more than half a year, Wu Huaiyu left Beijing again.

Last time, he joined the army as the East Palace Prince Youwei led the mansion from the ninth rank, inspecting the medical affairs of the Longyou Camp, a small medical officer.

But this time, he led the army as Xima, the prince of the Donggong Sijing Bureau, a scholar and owner of the Chongwenguan, envoys to the military forces of Yanzhou, and the governor of Yanzhou. Secretary Wai Lang.

Two thousand elite government soldiers from Guanzhong pulled out their battalion and went out to fight, followed by [-] heavy minzhuang.

Xin Zhao rode behind Huaiyu, feeling extremely emotional, "It's a bit stronger than our previous hospital army."

This military officer who was born in Chang'an Ya, is now conferred by Huaiyu as the fourth head of the Shuofang Bureau, codenamed Nine-headed Bird.Huaiyu chose him because he was a kid who grew up in the market, and later worked as a dentist. He knows the bottom of the market very well, and he knows the bottom people such as peddlers and pawns.

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

The weather was fine and sunny.

More than [-] men and horses lined up neatly on the official road. The soldiers carried knives and spears and marched lightly. The donkeys carried the armor, arrows and dry food of the soldiers. Medicinal materials and spare armor, etc.

Officers generally have mounts, and some wealthy soldiers also have their own mounts. The entire team owns more horses, mounts, pack donkeys, draft horses, etc. than soldiers.

Strong soldiers.

Compared with going to Longyou last year, the morale is also higher this time. Last year, they had to face a large-scale invasion, continuous penetration, and arrogant Turkic army, but this time they only faced rebels like Liang Shidu.

They were quite happy about choosing to go to Shuofang to be on duty as state soldiers, which meant that they could make meritorious service and grab spoils of war.

Last time Huaiyu brought 24 parts, this time it is no less than last year.

If he hadn't repeatedly refused, Fan Xuanfu and Runniang would have arranged for Huaiyu, a group of sword maidservants, to follow them, and even planned to let Huaiyu bring the Wujiale class.

The cold wind howled, but the morale of the soldiers and horses was high, and they sang while walking.

It's about Huaiyu's expedition last year.

Four tall and burly Kunlun slaves, holding the double banners and festivals bestowed by the emperor on Huaiyu, were very conspicuous in the team.

The two sons of the second uncle Samurai Rang both joined the army this time. The eldest Huailiang served as the leader of the guards as the third guard and helped Huaiyu carry the three-pointed two-edged sword. Huaiyu's body, he carried the jade sword given to Huaiyu by the emperor on his back.

Those four Kunlun slaves were as black as charcoal. They were definitely not the natives of the South China Sea Islands, or the local soils brought from Jiaozhou Champa, Chenla, or even Tianzhu. nigger.

Tall and burly, black and shiny.

These guys are as strong as cattle, but they are tamed like old oxen. However, these guys are not low in strength. They can run over galloping horses with bare feet, and their javelins are even more powerful.

The nobles in Chang'an like to use this kind of Kunlun slaves to run behind the carriage, thinking that the thief has face.

Behind the four big black charcoals is Huaiyu's personal army, a total of 100 people, but they did not take up the [-] soldiers, because these are not government soldiers, but trilogy and children arranged by the Wu family Fan's family, etc., sent to Huaiyu Yu is here to act as a personal soldier, follow the learning and experience, and be plated with gold, maybe you can get some credit by the way.

There are also many families with good relations. This time, at the invitation of Huaiyu, they sent clansmen or stewards to lead the team and act together with the transportation team to go to Yanzhou to open salt marshes and sell salt.

The people and horses arranged by each family to go to Yanzhou surpassed the eight hundred people in the supply camp. They had more horses and mules, and more supplies. Buy and sell, and provide some bountiful merchandise for this marching army.

Huaiyu's personal soldiers, fifty trilogy, fifty children from various families, these carry dry food and prepare their own horses and weapons, and there are not many dudes. They are all carefully selected elites from the clan. If they want to go to Shuofang, at least Those who are good at riding and shooting, except for being young, have no experience and qualifications. They are actually little roosters with high fighting spirit.

Along the way, these people were very excited. Looking left and right, they wished that there would be a robber blocking the road or a bandit who didn't open their eyes.

They don't even think about it, their team has only two thousand regular government soldiers, and eight hundred supply militiamen, and the family tribes, children, and military merchant groups led by the officers add up to more than 1000, and there are also more than 5000 soldiers. Thousands of prisoners, more than [-] in total, were winding on the road like a dragon, and they couldn't see the end.

It must be such a blind bandit to dare to die like this.

But they don't know that there is really a fame waiting for them along the way.

Huaiyu asked to march eighty miles a day, and then set up camp early, which was no different from commanding the hospital camp back then.

Huaiyu has even become very experienced. He strengthened his familiarity with the flags and drums while marching on the road, and strictly camped after the march every day.

He even set up a medical camp and a medical school in the army.

Although all kinds of Tangqi were dispatched for reconnaissance, they were very stable for several days in a row. After all, they were marching in Gyeonggi.

Starting from Chang'an, crossing the Weishui River to the north, passing through Liquan, and going up the Jinghe River, the distance to Jingzhou is only about [-] li. There is a road, going north to Guyuan, bypassing Liupan Mountain, entering Jingyuan in the west, and exiting the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor.

Marching is dry and boring.

Half a day marched and half a day camped, and Huaiyu held a meeting with the officers every day.

Most of the time, Huaiyu was studying with Chen Sheng, Li Deju, and Zhao Xin the information on Li Yi that Flying Snake Li Wujie kept sending.

On the third day of departure, they approached Binzhou City.

The sun had just set to the west, Huaiyu had already ordered camp, and just as the people and horses stopped, the flying snake Li Wujie dressed up as a middle-aged man came to see him.

"Li Yi made a false edict, saying that he had received a secret edict, and led his troops into the court. He led Jingzhou soldiers to the south. Today they arrived at the foot of Binzhou City. Binzhou Sima Zhao Cihao went out to meet him. To coerce Zhao Cihao to attack Chang'an together..."

Huaiyu counted the time.

"The time of Li Yi's rebellion is really the same as what you said before. Ziqi came to the east, Menggui of Jingzhou, within ten days, King of Yan will fly. Li Yi really believes this, right?"

Li Wujie told Huaiyu that Li Yi was on the verge of attacking now and had no choice but to attack. He pretended to raise troops and sent troops south, not because he really wanted to attack Chang'an, but because Li Yi got the news that the court knew that he was going to join the Turkic rebellion.

Yang Ji, the commanding army stationed in Binzhou, has received an order from the Ministry of War and is recruiting government soldiers. He will go north to Jingzhou at any time, and the emperor will send Changsun Wuji in command, with Yu Chigong as his deputy, to lead the army to ask for it.

Li Yi's original plan was to wait for the Turkic soldiers and the Liangshi allied forces to go south before mobilizing. Now that the situation is urgent, Li Yi had no choice but to raise troops in advance. He chose to falsely spread the imperial decree and say that he was ordered to lead troops into Beijing, but it was to surprise Yang Ji and rob Binzhou , in order to stabilize the two places of Bin and Jing, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Turkic and Liang divisions.

Li Yi did have some skills in using soldiers, and this move was very successful.

It's just that he didn't know that all this was actually done on purpose by the emperor, just to let Li Yi leave Jingzhou, and even more so to make him really rebel.

The battlefield for quelling chaos is presupposed to be in Binzhou, and Li Yi will also be terminated in Binzhou. When Li Yi's head is sent to Chang'an, no one will doubt Li Yi's rebellion anymore, because Li Yi is Jingzhou. The governor of the state, he led troops to appear in Binzhou for no reason.

"Zhao Cihao must have been arranged there by the imperial court. Even Zhao Cihao deliberately opened Binzhou City to welcome Li Yi into the city. Otherwise, if Li Yi couldn't produce the military order and the military talisman, how could Zhao Cihao let him go with a secret order?" He led troops into Binzhou City?" Huaiyu laughed.

One by one.

This is just like hunting, Li Yi doesn't know that he has become a prey long ago, and thinks he is smart, but he doesn't know that every step he takes is actually a series of traps that have been prepared long ago.

"Zhao Cihao is the younger brother of the late son-in-law Zhao Cijing, and his wife, Changsun, is the cousin of Empress Changsun. He followed his brother-in-law Li Keshi to install him last year," Li Wujie said with a smile.

Li Shimin's cousin's brother-in-law is naturally Li Shimin's.

"Where's Commander Yang Ji?"

"Yang Ji has more than a thousand soldiers. He is Li Jing's old subordinate. He also served in the Qin Palace before. He also followed Li Keshi to Binzhou last year. He was just promoted to the commanding army a few years ago. He was stationed at Tuqiao in Binzhou. Not far."

Huaiyu understood that this person was also a pawn that had been arranged long ago.

In order to hunt Li Yi, the emperor really worked hard.

It's a pity that Li Yi hasn't noticed it all this time, and he still thinks of taking refuge with the Turkic people, and even thinking of establishing a country and proclaiming himself emperor. Isn't this crazy?

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, you voted for the Turkic people, and like Liu Wuzhou and others, you took advantage of the Turkic power to become an emperor and build a country. It is estimated that many people will follow, but when is it now?

Vote for Chiang in [-]?

Zhao Cihao deliberately lured Li Yi into the city, and then joined forces with Yang Ji. In fact, both of them were enough to take Li Yi down.

But the emperor was very safe in doing things, and Fang Mou made decisive suggestions and made full preparations.

Zhao Cihao and Yang Ji launched the first wave of attack. It doesn't matter if they can't take down Li Yi, because Wu Huaiyu just happened to pass by at this time. Two thousand elite Guanzhong government soldiers are guaranteed to be able to kill with one blow.

Even Li Daozong, the governor of Lingzhou, and Li Xiuxing, the governor of Huizhou, had already obtained the secret decree. If Li Yi escaped, he would intercept him from the north, and he would never let Li Yi escape to the Turkic people.

"When will Zhao and Yang activate?"

"They are waiting for news from me, and I am waiting for Marquis Wu's decision,"

Huaiyu looked at the sky, it was still early.

"Now go back and tell Zhao Cihao and Yang Ji that at midnight today, they should cooperate with each other and attack the city together, capturing and beheading the traitor Li Yi!"

After seeing Li Wujie, Wu Huaiyu immediately summoned a group of officers and announced the closure of the camp, the suspension of camping, everyone preparing for the battle and resting, no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Faced with the officers' inquiries, Huaiyu did not tell them the reason, but only asked them to prepare for the rapid march after dark.

Although this action seemed to be a surefire one, Wu Huaiyu still didn't dare to underestimate the enemy because he was facing the prestigious Li Yi after all.
