A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 268 Longyan Joy
dawn.

Bin (bin) state regained stability, Yan governor Shi Weiseren assisted Bin state Sima Zhao Cihao to set up a list to calm the people.

Yanzhou Sima Su Dingfang and the commanding army Niu Jianwu are leading the troops to have breakfast.

"Marquis Wu!"

While chewing on the steamed cake, Su Lie saluted Huaiyu who came to inspect him.

"I invite Su Sima and Niu Tongjun to lead the Yanzhou Buqi to rush to Jingzhou to take defense immediately after dinner. If anyone dares to resist stubbornly, he will be killed."

Binzhou has been settled, and now we want to take the opportunity to control Jingzhou. There are still some cronies of Li Yi there.

"Please don't worry, Marquis Wu." Su Lie said that he would just take [-] cavalry, leaving the infantry for Huaiyu.

"This place has been calmed down, and I don't need soldiers."

What's more, the emperor gave Huaiyu a secret decree. After Li Yi was captured, Jingzhou soldiers gave him [-] Youzhou Tuqi and [-] armored cavalry.

In the melee last night, Li Yi had 3000 troops, and the 300 horses outside the city basically had no losses. More than 2000 soldiers and horses in the city died, and more than [-] were captured. Now these [-] soldiers have been confiscated and locked in the camp for screening.

Anyone who knows Li Yi's rebellion must be arrested and sent to Chang'an to be punished. Those who were deceived by false imperial edicts without knowing it will be forgiven and not killed according to the emperor's order.

However, although the death penalty is exonerated, it is impossible not to pursue it at all. These soldiers will be transferred to the Yanxia border area, and they will be guarded for three years before they can return.

They need to re-prove their loyalty to Datang in the frontier.

Huaiyu asked Su Lie, "If I allocate one thousand Jingzhou Jiangqi to you now, would you dare to use it?"

"Most of the Jingzhou soldiers are still coerced by Li Yi's deception. They don't know it. If they are allowed to go to Jingzhou with someone to commit crimes and make meritorious service, they must be very grateful."

"Okay, then I'll give you one thousand Jingzhou cavalry, and Li Yi's three hundred armored cavalry will stay here for now."

Su Lie was very happy to have another thousand horses in his hand.

"I'm going to pick someone now."

"Su Sima, if these people dare to change their minds, you can kill them directly."

"Understood." Su Lie has been in battle for a long time, and he is very good at leading troops. He is also familiar with such things as recruiting and surrendering troops. What's more, these thousand Jingzhou cavalry are also Tang troops, not real rebels.

Su Lie Niu Jianwu quickly headed north with 1000 Qingqi, accompanied by Yang Ji, the commander of Binzhou, who followed with [-] people from the headquarters.

Huaiyu sent them away and returned to the governor's office in Binzhou.

The governor of Binzhou had not returned from Chang'an Chaoji, and Zhao Cihao was in charge of affairs temporarily, but now Wu Huaiyu, the passing governor of Yanzhou, was sitting in the lobby of the yamen.

He had already met and talked with Zhao Cihao and Yang Ji in private, and Huaiyu also showed the emperor's secret decree, Zhao and Yang were very happy to let Wu Huaiyu preside over the overall situation temporarily.

Li Yi's head was beheaded and sent to Chang'an, and some of Li Yi's confidantes who were captured were executed directly.

Among the other unsuspecting Jingzhou soldiers who were screened out, [-] cavalry were dispatched to Su Lie to take to Jingzhou, and [-] armored cavalry were rowed to Wu Huaiyu's own command, etc. They did not interfere.

Yang Ji led the army to Jingzhou, and even got Huaiyu's military order. Without a superior military order, Yang Ji's army would not dare to lead the soldiers out of the jurisdiction of the prefecture easily.

Sun rise.

The people in Binzhou City experienced a night of panic. Although the rebellion was put down at this time, the city was still under martial law.

Li Wujie brought Zhao Qi and Sima Du Zhongqi to see him.

These two confidantes of Li Yi had long been secretly instigated by Li Wujie, but Li Yi never knew about it, and finally died at the hands of his adopted son.

Huaiyu looked at the two people, he had already read the experience of two people who were reported to him by Li Wujie, Zhao Qi, from Beiping, was once an orphan and beggar, he was rewarded by Luo Yi with a piece of cake and accepted as a servant, leading the horse for him, This guy is born with great strength and determination. When he was 14 years old, he went to the battlefield with Luo Yi and asked him to watch the horses, but he also went to battle to kill the enemy.

He said that there is a reward for killing the enemy, and he also wanted to eat meat.

Li Yi said that he was too young to fight. This kid refused to admit defeat, put on two layers of armor, got on his horse and rushed into the enemy's formation. After his first battle, he came back with three heads chopped off, although he was also shot in the abdomen. Not only that, but still proud to come back to ask for credit.

Because of this performance, Luo Yite took this horse-leading servant as his adopted son. Afterwards, this guy also won the appreciation of Li Yi for his brave and fearless ability to make military exploits many times.

Up to now, Zhao Qi, who is nearly [-] years old, is also the commander of the fourth rank of Shangfu. He even has a viscount in his body, and he has married a wife and had children early, so he can be regarded as a slave.

All of this is thanks to Li Yi's appreciation.

It's just that when Li Yi wanted to rebel, Zhao Qi was still unwilling to give away the official wife and children who had worked so hard. He was older and more pragmatic.

However, although Zhao Qi killed relatives righteously, in this era, people like him are despised and rebellious. After all, Li Yi is not only his boss, but also his adoptive father. Yi saved him, and later gave him a chance to succeed.

He should be loyal to Li Yi, even if Li Yi rebelled, he should not hesitate for a moment, that is in line with the values ​​of the people of the time.

Wu Huaiyu looked at the two for a long time.

Du Zhongda is also an old subordinate of Li Yi Youzhou, but he still chose to betray him. Li Yi betrayed Datang, but he didn't want his confidants to betray him too.

The two made Wu Huaiyu sweat profusely.

After all, with Wu Huaiyu's double banners and double knots, and the jade sword in hand, he holds the power of life and death for them at this time.

"Pour tea to the two heroes who put down the chaos!"

Li Wujie obediently poured tea for the two of them, respectful, which made the two of them secretly startled, because they knew that the witch was actually the emperor's man.

"You two have made great contributions to calming the chaos. I have reported to the imperial court to ask for your merits. Before the imperial court rewards you, I would like to thank you for assisting in managing Jingzhou soldiers.
Zhao Tongjun, the three hundred armored cavalry will be under your command temporarily, and I will send the school Wei Junwei to assist you.

Du Sima, you will temporarily assist in commanding the other [-] Jingzhou soldiers. "

Both volunteered to go to Jingzhou to help put down the chaos.

"The Marquis has already sent Su Sima and Yang Tongjun to go, don't worry about the remnants of Li Yi in Jingzhou,"

really.

That afternoon, Su Lie sent Qingqi back to report the victory.

As soon as their soldiers and horses arrived in Jingzhou and announced that Li Yibin had been punished for the rebellion, the remaining officers in Jingzhou would hardly resist.

Li Yi's younger brother, Li Li, and several of Li Yi's sons wanted to defend the city with their trilogy, but they were chopped down by a group of Jingzhou soldiers, and their heads were cut off. .

Su Lie's soldiers and blood blades controlled Jingzhou, copied Li Yi's house, took all his family members, concubines, servants and servants into custody, and confiscated his property.

Although Li Yi had been operating in Jingzhou for almost three years, it collapsed in an instant, and Li Wujie's people from the six sects provided information, and Li Yi's confidants who stayed in Jingzhou were all taken away.

Not even a fish slipped through the net, and it was too late.

Li Yi cheated Binzhou in the morning, but his head was beheaded in the middle of the night, and Jingzhou City was captured at noon the next day, and those people didn't have time to react.

Su Yi even followed the clues and found a bunch of Turkic spies in Jingzhou.

After the incident at the Xuanwu Gate on the fourth day of June last year, Li Yi, who was deeply disturbed, began to plan a rebellion, but after half a year of hard planning, it collapsed in a day.

Wu Huaiyu immediately sent Li Li and other anti-party leaders to Chang'an to report victory to Chang'an Lubu.

The seventh day of February.

The Hall of Xiande in the Eastern Palace, early dynasty.

The regular officials, as always, rushed to the court early in the morning, and the emperor arrived.

The emperor asked Ma Zhou to report the news to all officials.

Li Yi pretended to be Mi Chi, privately transferred Jingzhou soldiers to the south, passed by Binzhou to swindle the city, imprisoned Binzhou officials, robbed the treasury money and food, and secretly colluded with the Turks in order to lure the Turkic soldiers to attack Chang'an again.

As soon as the news came out, the hall was shocked.

At the palace banquet not long ago, Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Yan Wang Li Yi, who were in prominent positions, actually plotted a rebellion, which is too unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, please lead your troops to Jingbinping to seek rebellion immediately, and we will capture Li Ni alive and return to the court." Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the first to go out and ask for a memorial.

Then Hou Junji and other generals also came out to invite Ying.

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin burst into laughter, and the laughing ministers were baffled, Li Yi rebelled, why is the emperor happy?Li Yina is a well-known warrior, and Jingbin is an important place in the north of Chang'an, controlling the main road leading to Shuofang's Jing River Valley.

If there is a rebellion in this kind of place, if the Turks are brought south again, won't last year's war repeat itself?
"Your Majesty, Li Yi's rebellion must be dealt with immediately, and the enemy must not be underestimated. If he colludes with foreign captives, the capital will be corrupted." Wei Zheng stood up and reminded the emperor rudely.

Li Shimin stroked his beard.

"My love friends, don't panic. Ma Zhou has only reported one report just now, and there is still one report to finish. You can rest assured and listen to Ma Zhou's continued report."

Ma Zhou then continued to report.

Li Yi fraudulently took Binzhou in the morning, and Wu Huaiyu, the governor of Yanzhou who passed by in the evening, took Yanzhou soldiers and Binzhou commanding army Yang Ji's Binzhou government soldiers, under the cooperation of Binzhou Sima Zhao Cihao, entered the city in the middle of the night, in one fell swoop Surrounded and wiped out the traitor Li Yi in the Governor's Mansion,

Wu Huaiyu also recruited another [-] soldiers from Li Yi outside the city.

There was a sound of surprise.

Ma Zhou said helplessly, "My lords, I haven't finished reporting the news yet, please be quiet for a while."

"and also?"

Baiguan was surprised.

Ma Zhou continued to report that Wu Huaiyu beheaded Li Yi at night in Binzhou to annihilate [-] rebels, and then ordered Yanzhou Sima Su Lie, Binzhou Commander Yang Ji and others to rush to Jingzhou, beating the remaining rebels by surprise. They captured and wiped out Li Yi's henchmen without bloodshed, and took control of Jingzhou...
Ma Zhou finished reporting.

There was a long silence in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have finished my report," Ma Zhou said.

The hall was still silent.

Many people couldn't believe the news. Li Yi's rebellion happened suddenly, but his collapse was even faster. The news of the rebellion and his defeat came at the same time, without any interval between them.

The rebellious parties in Bin and Jing prefectures were also wiped out.

If it is said that Li Yi was caught and arrested for conspiring to rebel, and was arrested for not keeping secrets, everyone would be more accepting, but this has already been reversed. When Binzhou was successfully taken down, it is amazing that there is such a big reversal. up.

Even Wei Zheng couldn't help stepping forward to ask Ma Zhou, has the news been confirmed to be true?

"This good news was sent along with Li Yi's head. Do you want to see Li Ni's head?"
