(29) Ling Family Rebellion

It was another sunny weather, but no one in Bianzhou City came to enjoy this beautiful weather.

A vigorous siege battle began. The 200,000 troops of the Northern Qin launched a fierce offensive against Bianzhou since the afternoon. The thunderstorm, who had just led his troops to Bianzhou, had not had time to rest, was involved in this battle. He cut over the Northern Qin soldiers who climbed up the city wall with one knife. The thunderstorm couldn't help but complain: "These treacherous boys are really hardworking. Before my son was born, I'm going to fight again!"

When he returned to the thunderstorm in Duliang, he rushed to continue his family lineage at home. After finally getting pregnant with his wife, Bai Yunqi sent him to Bianzhou City as a guard. His resentment turned into countless sword shadows, and he blew them all on these fearless Northern Qin soldiers.

"Don't wait for the iron watermelon to be transported. If it comes, you will blow your bullshit Zhao Bao to death. Grandma's, it's been a long time since I've been active and exhausted!" On the city wall, whenever there was an enemy climbing up, the thunderstorm and a few generals would immediately strangle the enemy with their men. After an hour, although the soldiers of the Northern Qin continued, there was no one standing Northern Qin soldiers on the city wall.

Finally, the enemy camp had the order to withdraw the troops. Before sunset, the first round of battle ended. Thunderstorm wiped the knife in his hand and began to command the soldiers to recover.

Although Bai Yunqi had known the plans of the Northern Qin and the Huns, it was still difficult to rush to increase troops to the frontier. Fortunately, China had a policy of preparing for military service. Thunderstorms marched all the way and gathered a lot of people. However, those heavy weapons were transported slowly, so the thunderstorms could only defend the city and not leave.

The thunderstorm, who was so angry that he did not lose his temper as usual, took his confidant generals to unfold the nearby topographic map and began to discuss the strategy.

"Here, go around here and fight with the enemy in a field, then pretend to be defeated, fight, retreat, and lead the enemy here, and you can use the terrain. Even if you cannot defeat the enemy, at least you can cause heavy losses to the pursuers." A general said, pointing to a valley on the map.

Thunderstorm glanced at him and glanced at the other one.

"Although the idea is good, the enemy may not be fooled. The army cannot leave the city. In terms of terrain warfare, defending the city is the most solid defense. It is a good strategy to go around, but the enemy has mostly considered this point. Without the protection of the city, there is too much difference between troops. As long as the enemy advances and retreats properly, we will only suffer heavy losses!" said the general who was watched by the thunderstorm.

Everyone pondered and didn't say anything. Thunderstorm couldn't think of any plan for a while. After a casual discussion, there was still no plan. It seemed that there was no better way except to defend the enemy. The fact is that when all kinds of conditions were not met, any plan would be in vain. The enemy is not a fool, and an oversimplified plan would only increase casualties.

Fortunately, Bai Yunqi did not seek merit when he asked for thunderstorm, but he did not seek any mistakes, so thunderstorm did not continue to think about it. After all, the main breakthrough of the Northern Qin Dynasty was the Ling family, not on the battlefield. Lan Xiner was a Tatar, and this fatal weakness would not be changed because Lan Xiner controlled the main powerful ministers.

Quan Dayou took advantage of Lingyu's living sign, and occupied three cities in a hurry. At this time, the news of Lingyu's rebellion reached Zhao Bao's ears and the capital of Northern Qin.

"What, Lingyu rebellion, has captured three cities?" Lan Xiner was still very shocked when she heard the news. If it were normal, this would not pose any threat, but at the critical moment when the war with China was already on the rise, she knew very well what the consequences would bring about the rebellion of the Ling family.

"Take people to block the Ling Mansion immediately, and no one of the Ling family can be spared! Run away, Ai family is the only one to ask." Lan Xiner immediately took measures, and the general who reported the news immediately took the order. Lan Xiner's brows were tightly frowned and said hatefully: "Hmph! Lingyu, the Ai family wants your Ling family to pay a heavy price. Come, Xuan Wen and Wu officials, go to court."

After saying that, Lan Xiner rushed to the bedroom of the Northern Qin Kingdom Lord, the little king who was only in his teens.

"Zheng'er, Zheng'er!" Before she arrived, Lan Xin'er had already started calling, but unfortunately, her little king was not here.

"Go back to the Queen Mother, the king is playing in the garden!"

Lan Xiner shook her head and rushed to the garden again, complaining in her heart, why is this child always incompetent?

In the garden, a teenager was playing with a group of colorful palace maids. The boy was blindfolded and rushed to this side and to the other side.

"Come on, lord, come here, I'm here!" Several palace maids kept calling, causing the young man to walk left and right, and I really don't know where to go.

Suddenly, Lan Xiner walked closer and was hugged by the little king. The palace maids quickly knelt down: "I have seen the Queen Mother!"

The little king hugged Lan Xin'er and shook: "Yeah! I've caught it!"

After taking off the blindfold cloth, I realized that I was holding my always strict mother. My mother was staring at her with a reproachful look. The boy immediately lowered his head and shouted softly: "My mother!"

"Go, change your clothes and prepare to go to court! You will know how to play all day long." Lan Xiner did not particularly blame her son.

"Oh!" the young man answered simply and followed his mother toward the bedroom.

In the court, the small king sat in the middle, while Lan Xiner was listening to politics on the side, reminding people of the word "ruling politics behind the curtain". Once the news of Ling Yu's rebellion spread, it immediately caused countless controversies in the court. Some said that the news was wrong, and some said that troops should be sent to attack immediately. At the same time, it also prevented Ling Yu from echoing China and attacking the army outside Bianzhou City. Various opinions emerged one after another.

Lan Xiner didn't stop her, because in fact she had already made a decision.

At the same time, something happened in the capital of Beiqin that would sensation the entire Beiqin.

When a team of imperial guards were ordered by Lan Xiner to hurry to the Ling Mansion, they saw a large amount of black smoke coming out of the direction of the Ling Mansion from afar. As soon as they approached, the fire had already covered the entire Ling Mansion courtyard and was burning. The general of the army hurriedly grabbed a person from the people watching around: "What's going on? Why did the Ling Mansion catch a fire? When did it happen?"

The man was startled and said tremblingly: "No...I don't know...I'm already like this when I came!"

The leader frowned and was about to catch people and ask, but found that most of the people who were watching had fled the scene.

The leader only asked the shop near the Lingfu. The owner of a silk shop said, "It was about an hour ago! I saw a lot of black smoke coming out of the Lingfu, and then the entire Lingfu started to burn, and it has been burning until now."

The boss, who was about to pack up valuables, kept his own things tightly and lived next to the Ling Mansion. It was not a good thing now. Who knew if this firehead would come over immediately? The leader frowned. Could it be that the Ling family had all cut off their own way in order not to drag Ling Yu's hind legs?

The leader thought of this and asked again: "Then is anyone in your Ling family who escaped from it?"

"I don't know this, and the villain didn't pay attention to it, but it seems that the door has been closed and no one has come out."

"Thank you!" After asking, the leader went to the gate of the Ling Mansion again. At this time, the gate had been knocked open by the soldiers. The leader immediately issued an order: "Everyone goes in and puts out the fire!"

A large group of soldiers rushed into the Ling Mansion, but now the Ling Mansion is already a sea of ​​fire, and all the houses are burning. The soldiers kept taking water from the wells to put out the fire. But how could this stop the fire that was already uncontrollable? No matter how rescued, they could no longer save the grass and trees of the Ling Mansion.

After burning everything, it was approaching evening. The sun sets westward. The huge Ling Family was left with only a pile of black walls and ruins, tiles emitting a burnt smell everywhere. The black sunlight was rarely reflected.

"Search to see if there are any corpses or survivors."

There is a living mouth, that is, a few horses that broke free from the reins and hid on the side. As for the corpses, after the soldiers searched all corners of the Lingfu site, they finally gave the leader a terrible reward: "There is no corpse!"

"The Ling family has about forty people!" The leader's pupils dilated. He had already realized what was going on. "Immediately notify the city guards and close the city gate!"

The soldiers took the order and the leader rushed to the palace. He was ready to see him. The Ling family clearly planned to rebel for a long time, burning the Ling Mansion with a torch. When he noticed it, 80% of the Ling family members had already left the city.

If the city guards were notified to close the city gates when they found that the Ling Mansion was on fire, there might be some people who hoped to stop the Ling family. But now, the leader can only do his best to do his best to let God and pray to the Queen Mother spare his life.

When they entered the palace and Jin, Lan Xiner had not yet retreated from the court, and the battle was in chaos. Although the power of the Ling family was suppressed to almost nothing, their reputation in the court, the people and the army still existed. As soon as the leader entered the hall, he turned over and bowed: "It is not good for me to capture the Ling family, so I ask the lord and the queen mother to punish me!"

Lan Xiner frowned and asked, "Zhou Leader-in-June, get up and talk, what accident happened to the Ling family?"

The question was just a confirmation, and Lan Xiner had already guessed that if the Ling family deliberately rebelled, they would have planned for a long time. The way out of retreat had been decided long ago. If they had the intention to make up, they would be really lucky to catch them.

"When I heard from the king and the queen mother, when I arrived at the Ling family, a fire in the Ling family had been burning for nearly an hour. The fire was so huge that it was difficult to extinguish. When the fire was extinguished, there was no body in the entire Ling family. I had ordered the city guards to close the city gate, but according to my estimate, the Ling family was deliberately rebelling this time and thought that they had escaped from the city. I was guilty of being investigated, so I asked the king and the queen mother to sue them."

Even though she guessed, Lan Xiner was still shocked by this. She slapped her palm on the phoenix throne, stood up and scolded: "What? Ling Family..."

After saying only two words, Lan Xiner immediately realized that she had moved the real fire and suppressed the anger in her heart and sat down. The court officials below had already stopped talking. I am afraid that anyone who spoke more or excused the Ling family at this time would probably have blood splattered on the spot.

"Mother, the Ling family caught fire, isn't it a good thing that there is no dead person?" Only the ignorant ten-year-old boy asked a childish sentence with a childish voice.

Lan Xiner glared at the phoenix eyes and immediately stared at the ten-year-old boy, but in the court, even the ten-year-old boy was the king. Even Lan Xiner had to give her some face, took a deep breath and said softly: "This is the fire that the Ling family sets on their own. The purpose is to escape. Do you know? Deputy Commander Lingyu rebelled on our border, that is, he wants to fight us."

"Ah, war, it's not good to fight, many people will die. Mother, is it good not to fight?" The little boy didn't understand at all. He was still very shallow in education and had not figured out the situation yet, but just begged his mother tremblingly.

If it weren't for being in the court, Lan Xin'er wanted to walk up and slap her ignorant son. She bit her teeth secretly, held back the anger in her heart and continued to say softly: "It's not that the mother wants to fight, it's that the Ling family wants to fight, and the king of the country will understand in the future!"

The little boy tilted his head and thought intently, "What does General Ling want? We'll give it to him. General Ling is very good. Zheng'er often hears people say that the people of the Ling family sacrificed many people for our country!"

The more the little boy said, the more outrageous he became, Lan Xiner got up angrily and was about to step forward. She stood up before suppressing her anger: "Come on, the lord is tired, help the lord down and rest first!"

Although the little boy was ignorant, he knew that his mother was really angry. He must have said something wrong. While walking down with the palace maid and eunuch, he also comforted his mother and said, "My mother, Zheng'er is not obedient and ignorant, so please don't be angry!"

Looking at the boy's departure, Lan Xiner shook her head helplessly. She was too negligent in discipline. When the king left, everyone started to discuss matters again.

"According to our tips, Lingyu has now occupied three cities, Nobara, Xiapei and Sanyuan. As long as you occupy Longyuan City again, the land of a state will fall. In addition to issuing a sea arrest document to inform the world, can everyone have good plans?" Lan Xiner asked.

The ministers were speechless, only Liu Feiyuan, the general of the border, stepped forward and said: "Qi Zuo, since the Ling family has rebelled and has been resolutely rebelled since they have sent troops to attack. Our Northern Qin has been resting in recent years. It can be said that they are strong and strong. In addition to the 200,000 troops attacking Bianzhou, there are 300,000 troops in the capital, so they cannot be moved. However, it is reported that Ling Yu is an alliance with China. China has excellent weapons and ambitions. He will inevitably use the power of Nohara Issue to attack the army attacking Bianzhou. This must be guarded against!"
