Chapter 253 Preparation for War(2/2)
Since the Right Prime Minister took away tens of thousands of elite troops, the defense of Yangzhou City has become increasingly cramped. By asking the court, he ordered the provincial Pingzhang Zhengshida Muer to recruit strong men in Huainan, Huainan and other places to lead the Han army. Through the efforts of Dashida Muer over the past six months, he finally recruited nearly 50,000 strong men to station in Huaian and trained. He has become a force that can stand alone.
In order to commend his merits, Wei Zhedu held a banquet in the government office to invite Dashitemuer. In addition to Dashitemuer, there were other officials in Yangzhou, Zhao Lian, deputy governor of the government affairs of Huaixi, Yesenbuhua, and Pingzhang, Fushou. (The official system of the Yuan Dynasty, each province had two Pingzhang, who were from the first rank)
"This time Lord Timuer was able to summon so many soldiers to protect the safety of the province, which is the glory of our province. I suggest that everyone respect Timuer's cup." said Vizhedu.
"Where, where, this time, we were able to summon so many soldiers. It was because of the court's favor that the people were grateful to the court and hated the bandits who came to join our army." Timuer said: "We should give our glass of wine first."
"Yes, I'll pay tribute to the emperor first." Wei Zhedu stood up, and his wine glass rushed north. Everyone stood up and drank it all in one go.
After three rounds of drinking, it became lively. Zhao Lian suggested: "Everyone is so happy, why not ask some women to sing and dance to cheer up?"
"Yes, yes." Both wine and women are very attractive to men.
"Sir, sir, something is wrong!" Suddenly, a guard hurriedly ran in.
"Didn't you see a banquet being held? How can you be so panicked?" Before Wei Zhedu could speak, Zhao Lian cursed.
"Sir, sir, something big happened, General Qi Buhua died in battle! Lord Li Pu, you have already arrived outside, Gaoyou Mansion, something big happened!"
Something happened to Gaoyou Mansion? Everyone was not stunned by alcohol. Once something happened to Gaoyou Mansion, Yangzhou would be surrounded.
"What's going on?" asked Viezhedu. "Let Li Pu come up!"
Before the guards could go out, Li Pu had already stumbled up. At this time, he no longer had the same kind of spirit as before. His gray face was still moving, his clothes were torn and ragged. He was placed outside, similar to a beggar, and he didn't look like a court official!
Following Li Pu, there was a straight young man. Although his clothes were covered in dust, he was still so calm. Everyone knew this person, he was the second son of the He family and He Zhaojie.
"Li Pu, what's going on?"
"Sir, villains are incompetent, I feel ashamed of my trust!" Li Pu suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly.
"I didn't listen to you crying, tell me, what's going on? Just like a man!" Wei Zhe became angry.
Li Pu stopped crying and said slowly: "Sir, half a year ago, the villain and General Qibuhua followed the provincial order and went to Gaoyou Mansion together to take over Gaoyou Mansion. Unexpectedly, Unexpectedly..." As he said that, Li Pu pounded his thigh with his hands and began to unable to suppress his emotions again.
"Mr. Li, don't be sad, what's going on?" Zhao Lian walked over and picked up a cup of tea: "Come on, drink some water first to suppress your shock."
Li Pu did not take the tea. If it weren't for Zhao Lian, he would not have fallen to this point. In fact, everything just now was pretended. No matter what, the province sent himself and Yibuhua to Gaoyou Mansion. Not only did he not complete the task, he was imprisoned by others. After finally escaping, Qibuhua was finished. Qibuhua is the best person! It's like two children going to play in the river. One child drowned. After returning home, the adults would definitely take their anger on the other child. So, he pretended to be pitiful in advance and might be able to get away with it.
"Sir, when I went to Gaoyou Mansion, Zhang Shicheng looked very enthusiastic at first, and tricked General Qiebuhua and me into Gaoyou Mansion, which made us relax our vigilance. Then, he suddenly attacked and detained General Qiebuhua and I, and five thousand soldiers. Anyone who resisted was killed immediately. Even General Qiebuhua was fired with a musket and his leg was broken!"
"Rareless, this Zhang Shicheng is too much!" Dashitie Muer angrily threw the wine glass and said, "Sir, please send me to lead 50,000 elite troops to encircle Zhang Shicheng!"
Wei Zheduo did not agree, but then asked, "How did it happen later? How did you come out?"
"We were locked in the government office for half a year. Sometimes I had to write any official documents. In this way, they gradually became familiar with us and their surveillance of us became more and more relaxed. Later, with the help of Mr. He, Zhang Shicheng's arsenal was burned down, and we escaped during the chaos." Li Pu said.
"Where is that timid?" asked Viagra.
"We were going to escape together, but General Qibuhua wanted to rescue the five thousand soldiers and took advantage of the situation to snatch Gaoyou Mansion. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shicheng discovered the strategy. Five thousand soldiers and General Qibuhua had all ascended to heaven! If I hadn't walked fast, I would have had no life to come back to see the adults!" As he said that, Li Pu burst into tears again.
