Chapter 859 The trace of the bearded guest (repair)
Compared to the big ingot of five taels per one, these tables, chairs and tea cups are indeed nothing.
...
When Jiang Zhen was blindfolded and took him away, although he couldn't see him, he felt much more relieved. He saw hope. Since he had met Li Mu and had started, once he accomplished a great thing, he would not only avoid a disaster, but also make great contributions and have a bright future. Before he came to Qizhou with Li You, he had seen Li Mu as a member of the Ministry of Personnel. He had seen Li Mu and had also seen Li Mu from afar, otherwise he would not recognize him at first sight. He knew very well how Li Mu was doing and was not worried at all. If he did things himself, there would be no corresponding reward.
Of course, there was still nervousness. He was a military officer in Qizhou. No one knew more about the matters in Qizhou than him. He knew that although the King of Qi could not mobilize many people, if his actions failed, the people in the King of Qi would be more than enough to revenge him and his family.
"I have too few people to use. Although there are not many people who attack the palace, I have to find effective help!"
General Wang's name is Wang Yue.
The general is just a respectful title. Of course, his official price is not as high as the general. In fact, he is just a captain. However, he has at least fifteen personal soldiers under his command. Even if some of them are not so loyal, the reliable ones should be more than half.
Those who struggle in the military camp will have several personal soldiers under their hands. In this way, no matter where they are transferred, there are people under their hands. The relationship between these personal soldiers and the generals and schools they followed is almost determined as soon as they join the army, and will not change from then on. Therefore, if they are really disinterested and disobedient, they have plenty of time to fight him, like a slaughter. No matter how rebellious a person is, over time, they will have to bow down and obey.
Jiang Zhen had a certain idea and went to find Wang Yue immediately.
Jiang Zhen was still whispering around the bush to test the topic, but Wang Yue was more active than him. As soon as he spoke, General Wang responded in full.
He was from another place and went to Qizhou to serve as a military commander. Wang Yue was a local, and his family and even his clan were from Qizhou. Jiang Zhen, the military commander, did not lead troops directly to fight, but the lieutenant was not like this. Once the two sides directly met, Wang Yue must go into battle.
In this way, the crime of rebellion against the heavenly soldiers was particularly serious, at least more direct than Jiang Zhen. Once the King of Qi failed, Wang Yue not only had to be in a different position, but the entire family would be implicated. He was already on a dead end. At this time, Jiang Zhen came to tell him that he had contacted the famous Marquis of Luoyang, how could Wang Yue not be active?
"Okay! When will I take action? Wang cooperates with all my strength! I have at least eight people under my command, which is absolutely reliable. My brothers have three or four martial arts practitioners, so I can call them all in one word!"
Wang Yue was ready to take action immediately.
Jiang Zhen quickly comforted: "Don't worry, the more you are, the calmer you are and cautious. If you choose the soldier you absolutely trust, and your brothers, please contact me first and wait for my news."
Wang Yue said anxiously: "It's time for the fire, what are you waiting for?"
"This is definitely not enough, I have to continue contacting you. If you don't have a backup plan, you can only do it once. I dare not disappoint the Marquis. If the matter is done, you will know the temper of the Marquis of Luoyang."
"When I go to the Qi Palace to inquire, at least I can find out the security situation in various places and know myself and the enemy, so that I can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Go quickly! Go quickly! I'll bring my cousins into the army first. How many people are there? Tell me how many people I have, I'll do all the people. When the Marquis asks, I'll say it's your share. Do you think it's okay?"
Wang Yue left in a hurry. When Jiang Zhen saw that Wang Yue was more active than him, he felt a little more at ease in his heart, so he went straight to the Qi Palace... and now he asked the Daqi Palace to walk.
In the Qi Palace, King Zan Junmo, who was in charge of recruiting troops in the Linqing area, was reporting to the King of Qi: "Spying the horses and sending people and horses to Bingzhou."
The King of Qi was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Isn't Li Mu coming to capture me? Why did he get involved in Bingzhou again? How many soldiers and horses came? Did Li Ji lead the army personally?"
Zanjun said: "I haven't found out how many soldiers and horses have come. However, there were 100,000 vanguards who fought with me that day, including the front army, the back army, the left army, the right army, the central army, the vanguard... In this way, the imperial army had at least 100,000 people..."
King Qi sat on the drawn dragon chaise and farted.
"Father...it seems to be really angry."
Yan Hongxin, the King of Pingxi, changed his color and said, "A hundred thousand army? How can we have so many people? How to resist? Your Majesty, why not kidnap the people in the city. Let's go to Douzigang to make thieves. I have visited there. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is very easy to hide. Although the imperial army is numerous, we will not be able to do anything for a while."
"Are you entering the mountain?"
Li You was really moved, groping in his jaw and thinking carefully about the possibility.
At this time, a soldier hurried in and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, outside the city..."
The King of Qi shivered: "But Li Ji has arrived?"
The soldier was stunned: "Li Ji? What is Li Ji?"
Yin Hongzhi quickly jerked and said, "How about outside the city?"
The soldier calmed down and said, "Someone shot a letter under the city wall, saying that his Majesty would take it apart in person!"
"It must be that Li Mu is acting a demon again, don't look!" Li You waved his hand and was about to drive the soldiers down. Yin Hongzhi spoke and said, "Your Majesty, let's see. Maybe it's not Li Mu's letter, maybe it's the letter of others? Now we are at the moment of using people. If this person is here to serve, but he is driven away by His Majesty, the heroes from all over the world will not dare to come back to submit. If Your Majesty treats him well, the world will follow and the great cause will be expected!"
Li You always doesn't care about this kind of thing, it depends on his mood. After Yin Hongzhi said this, he also said casually: "Then let's take a look-- just look for it for me."
Yin Hongzhi took the letter, glanced at it, and asked the sergeant: "Where are you now when the archery and others?"
The sergeant replied, "I'm still waiting under the city."
Yin Hongzhi said, "Put down the hanging basket and pull the person up. Remember, be respectful." The soldier took the order and left. Yin Hongzhi turned to face Li You and said, "Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to lead the 'King of Four Directions' and civil and military officials to greet you at the city gate.
When Li You heard that the boss was unhappy and was about to express his dissatisfaction, he saw Yin Hongzhi's expression, stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Since my uncle said it, then go and take it.
Soon, the central gate of the Qi Palace was opened. His Majesty the Emperor of Qi led his four heavenly kings, as well as his uncle Yin Hongzhi, the Minister of the Shangshu Ling, to welcome the "Merical Gate" in a mighty manner.
At this time, Jiang Zhen had just entered the Meridian Gate. He saw the King of Qi leading people to come from afar. He hurriedly avoided the side. Seeing that he ignored him, he quietly turned to the side. He came here to see the movements of the royal palace and see the deployment of the troops everywhere. Seeing that the King of Qi came over, he hid in the corner. After everyone had passed, he came out again, arrived at the gate of the King of Qi's mansion and rushed straight into the door. The soldiers at the door told him that the King of Qi had just left, and he said that he would wait for the King of Qi to come back here, and no one would say anything else.
You should know that Jiang Zhen is the current Minister of War of the Great Qi. Although he has no real power, he has an official position and often goes to and from the Great Qi Palace and is familiar with the soldiers guarding the gate of Jiboer.
On the way, Li You found an opportunity and asked Yin Hongzhi who came and why he had such great face to ask him to go out of the city to greet him.
Yin Hongzhi lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember when you were young, I told you the story of "The Bearded Guest"?"
"Chaobian Guest?" Li You's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Of course I remember that I never forgot for a moment. Why, is the person waiting for a beard Guest? No wonder my uncle asked me to pick him up in person. How could the people under my command be so negligent?!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not the bearded guest himself."
"Ah?" Li You immediately became a little depressed and complained: "It's not a bearded guest, so what are I waiting for here? My uncle just can handle some calfs and horses."
Although Li You hates Li Mu, he has learned Li Mu's oral words well.
Yin Hongzhi knew Li You's temper and explained patiently: "Although he is not a bearded guest, he is a confidant of the bearded guest. The bearded guest went to sea and had no news. Recently, he only sent back news that he had created a foundation overseas and is now the co-owner of the seventy-two islands on the sea. Today, he is the owner of one of the islands."
"Their island is like spring, and the rice is ripe three times a year. Not only does it have food, but there are people. It is exactly what we need," he said, his voice lowered, saying, "If things fail and we can get along well with them, we can also have a way out."
"It's my uncle who is thoughtful!" Li You's attitude made a 180-degree turn. Obviously, the last sentence touched him. He knew in his heart that rebellion could not succeed. He originally thought that it was a father and son, and although he made a mistake, he would not die. But now he heard that Li Shimin sent Li Ji, and knew that Li Shimin was really angry. He was afraid that he would die, so he was thinking about the retreat.
The group came to the city gate, and the man was also hung up by a hanging basket. Li You glanced at him from a distance, frowned, and leaned into Yin Hongzhi's ear and said, "Uncle, why is this man dark and thin, and looks so strange."
Yin Hongzhi whispered: "Everyone in Nanyang looks like this. Your Majesty has never seen such a person in Chang'an's mouth and teeth shop."
"Oh," Li You replied, and the person who came had arrived.
"When Yang was in Nanyang, he had long heard of His Majesty's reputation. He was very happy to learn that His Majesty ascended the throne, so he rushed to like each other."
