After more than ten days of coastal navigation, this morning, two hundred big ships in the Lingding Ocean slowly sailed, during the Tang Dynasty, there were dozens of islands of all sizes in the Lingding Ocean, they have not yet been connected with the mainland, they are independent, the islands and islands are not far apart, at dusk, the fleet is moored between the two large islands, Li Yang sent two men to Nanhai County to inquire about the news.

Li Yang didn't know that during the time when he and his father Li Si were not in Lingnan, Lingnan had undergone great changes, especially after the news of Li Si's death, all parties were vying for the position of Lingnan Economic Envoy, especially Wei Chihu, who secretly colluded with Li Si's fourth son, Li Jun, and promised to support Li Jun to ascend to the throne.

At the same time, he spent a lot of money to win over several generals under Li Yu, and continued to succeed, and has successfully won over three of the five lieutenant generals, that is, 6,000 people, to serve Wei Chihu.

Li Yu also wanted to inherit his father's position as a strategic envoy, but unfortunately Luo Huaiqing, the general of Zengcheng, supported his eldest son Li Yang to ascend to the throne.

At night, in a small house not far from the palace, there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo, the husband walked by, couldn't help but take a heavy sip, called the king to die of illness, Nanhai County was full of filial piety, of course, the palace was also full of flags, Li Yu did not dare to talk about music in the palace, but quietly rented a house not far away, and gathered together with a group of like-minded people at night, drinking and playing the piano, talking about the beauty of music.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with liking music, the literati and scholars who like music in the Tang Dynasty are like carp crossing the river, but if they like music to the point of obsession and abandon their studies and government affairs, then it shouldn't be, not to mention that Li Yu's father died not long ago, and he is still in the period of filial piety, and he can't be obsessed with music.

In fact, Li Yu has been very restrained, after the news of his father's death came, he never touched music and singing and dancing again, and wore heavy filial piety every day to guard his father's spirit.

It's just that today, his friend created a new tune and asked everyone to comment on it, Li Yu couldn't control it anymore, so he rented a nearby house and stayed until late at night, when five or six music friends got together to drink and comment on the tune.

At this time, countless black shadows came from all directions, a general with a full face waved his hand, and 2,000 soldiers surrounded the houses.

This is also Li Yu's own death, usually there are thousands of soldiers in the palace to protect him, and those who want to engage him have no chance at all, but tonight he slipped out of the palace and hid in a small house, without a single guard by his side, how could anyone who wanted to kill him let go of this opportunity.

Seeing that the soldiers had surrounded the house, the leader immediately ordered: "Kill in, and whoever takes Li Yu's head will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers jumped over the wall into the courtyard, and at this time, five or six men in the backyard were gathering to drink and talk about music, and two maids were standing with lanterns, so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, but the six were full of interest.

"I'll give it a try!"

Li Yu drank all the wine in the cup, took out a jade flute, put it to his lips, and whimpered and blew.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the gate of the garden, everyone stood up one after another, and Li Yu also stopped playing the flute and looked at the screaming place in amazement.

I saw a large group of soldiers pouring in from outside the garden, holding sharp horizontal knives in their hands, and one by one fierce gods rushed towards this side, and the two maids screamed in fright, threw away the lanterns and fled, and only escaped a few steps before they were cut down by the knives and fell in a pool of blood.

Li Yu was taken aback, turned around and fled in the direction of the pool, at this time, he heard the friend who wrote the song shouting: "It is the news I provided, I want to see General Wei Chi, you can't ....... Yes! ”

Li Yu was full of remorse in his heart, and couldn't help but look back, only to see that the person who shouted that the person who provided the news had been cut off half of his head and fell to the ground in blood.

The rest of the people did not escape, they were all dismembered by the soldiers, and grabbed Li Yu's head for the first captain, at this time, the general with a face full of flesh just now came and asked sharply: "Where is Li Yu's thief?" ”

The captain hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and presented Li Yu's head, "General Qiyu Weichi, Li Yu's head is here!" ”

"Good!"

The general took the head and was overjoyed.

After the Wei Chi family rebelled against the three Zhonglang generals of the Nanhai garrison, Wei Chiqing infiltrated Nanhai County as a liaison, and the three Zhonglang generals all obeyed his command, so that his troops reached 6,000 people, and another 4,000 people were loyal to Li Yu, led by two Zhonglang generals.

After killing Li Yu, Wei Chiqing immediately ordered: "Send a signal outside the city!" ”

A fire was lit on the west city gate, the city gate was wide open, and soon, Yu Chihu led five thousand troops to appear, and they went directly into the city, Yu Chihu was about forty years old, with a square face and eyebrows that were rough like brushes.

Yu Chihu was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and when he entered the city gate, he asked, "Where is Yu Chiqing?" ”

A lieutenant hugged his fists and said: "General Wei Chi Er is leading the army to attack the palace, and he asked the humble post to tell the general that Li Yu's head has been obtained!" ”

"Well done!"

Wei Chihu praised and asked, "Whose soldiers are in the palace?" ”

"It's the two thousand people led by General Zeng Jinghai!"

"What about Liu Changji?" Yu Chihu asked.

Liu Changji and Zeng Jinghai were both Zhonglang generals loyal to Li Yu, with 2,000 men under their command, and they both rejected Wei Chihu's attraction to them, and Yu Chihu wanted to occupy Nanhai County, and killing these two people was the key.

The lieutenant immediately said: "Liu Changji and his army are in the northern military camp!" ”

Wei Chihu nodded and ordered: "Go to the North Military Camp!" ”

He led an army of 5,000 under the leadership of the captain to the northern barracks.......

The North Military Camp is close to the North City Gate, it is a small military camp, which can only accommodate 4,000 people at most, and the 4,000 soldiers led by Liu Changji and Zeng Jinghai are stationed here, but Zeng Jinghai led his troops to defend the palace, and only Liu Changji and his 2,000 subordinates were left in the military camp.

Wei Chihu killed in Beicheng, but when he saw the north gate wide open, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and immediately led five thousand soldiers to rush into the military camp next to him, and sure enough, he guessed that the military camp was an empty camp, and Liu Changji and his two thousand soldiers fled from the north city gate.

At this time, the soldier grabbed a cook in the room and escorted him over, the cook was so frightened that he knelt in front of Wei Chihu's war horse, "The general spares his life!" ”

Yu Chihu said coldly: "I don't want to kill you, but you have to honestly explain, why did Liu Changji escape and what happened?" ”

"I don't know the specific villain, I just heard a few soldiers say that Li Yu was killed, General Liu wanted to lead the army to the palace, and someone came to report that the West City Gate was opened, and General Wei Chi led the army to kill through the West City Gate, and General Liu decided to escape from the North Gate!"

"You mean they just fled?" Yu Chihu asked again.

"Exactly! It's less than a tea time to go. ”

Yu Chihu immediately turned his horse's head and led the army to chase out, they ran out of the north city gate, it was dark in the distance, and there was no trace of Liu Changji's army.

A general said in a low voice: "Maybe I went to Luo Huaiqing." ”

Yu Chihu nodded, there was only this possibility.

He immediately ordered: "Close the city gate and go to the palace!" ”

..........

Zhaowangfu is also the Lingnan five mansions Jingluo Mansion, covering an area of nearly 500 acres, there are many pavilions and pavilions inside, Zhonglang will Zeng Jinghai lead 2,000 people to guard the palace.

Zeng Jinghai was actually the chief general of the naval army, but because there was no enemy, there were not many naval troops in Guangzhou, only 2,000 people, mainly responsible for patrolling the Lingding Ocean and cracking down on sporadic pirates.

Zeng Jinghai is not loyal to Li Yu, he is loyal to the king Li Si, Li Si told him to assist Li Yu before leaving, of course he must do his duty, how can Li Yu himself not be angry, take off his filial piety clothes and run to talk about music, was betrayed by his companions, and finally died in the hands of Wei Chiqing.

The walls of the palace were tall and strong, and 2,000 soldiers were deployed on the walls and roofs, defending them with bows and arrows, while the soldiers who attacked the palace were 6,000 people, all of whom were subordinates of the three lieutenant generals who surrendered to Wei Chihu.

At this time, Yu Chihu led 5,000 soldiers to arrive, Yu Chiqing hurriedly came forward to see the eldest brother, Yu Chihu glanced at the palace and asked, "Have you been persuaded to surrender?" ”

"I called Zeng Jinghai, but there was no response."

"Where are the others? I'll persuade him. ”

"It's right next to the main entrance, big brother should beware of the other party's cold arrows."

When Wei Chihu came to the gate, his soldiers raised their shields and covered him tightly.

"Brother Zeng is here?" Yu Chihu shouted loudly.

In the middle of the ring, someone replied: "Yu Chihu, the king is not too thin to treat you, but you want to take away his foundation, aren't you ashamed?" ”

The voice was Zhonglang General Zeng Jinghai, and Wei Chi Hu said: "General Zeng misunderstood, how can my Wei Chi family dare to occupy Lingnan?" We are supporting Shiro Li Jun to ascend to the throne, Li Yu is mediocre, addicted to music and wine, and is useless, why should you be loyal to this kind of person. ”

"Li Jun is even more mediocre!"

"Brother Zeng, I actually support my eldest son Li Yang, but I don't know if Li Yang will be detained in Chang'an, so I temporarily support Li Jun, if Li Yang comes back, I should persuade Li Jun to give way!"

"Do you think I'm going to believe you?"

Yu Chihu shook his head, "It's not a question of believing it or not, it's your choice, either I will burn the palace with fire, and you and the palace will burn all the jade, or you and I will support Li Yang together." ”

Zeng Jinghai said for a while: "Are you serious? ”

"I, Wei Chihu, promise to the heavens, there will be no jokes!"

"Well, I, Zeng Jinghai, am willing to obey General Wei Chi's orders, you must not let my subordinates lay down their weapons, nor can they dismiss me from their duties."

"Big brother, they must lay down their weapons and surrender!" Yu Chiqing said hurriedly.

Wei Chihu waved his hand, "Now we have to calm down the incident as soon as possible, stabilize the situation, and wait for us to gain a firm foothold, and then slowly clean him up." ”

He immediately said in a loud voice: "Since General Zeng is a naval army, then you can go to Gangzhou and be stationed in Xinhui County." ”

"You take three hundred steps back, open the West City Gate, and I will lead the army to evacuate!"

Zeng Jinghai actually didn't believe in Yu Chihu, but he had no choice, if the other party really burned the palace, not only would they all have to die in the fire, but the eldest prince's wife and children would not be able to save it, and he would not be able to explain it to the old prince.

The evacuation of Nanhai County is at least the best outcome for now, and he ordered: "The whole army is ready to evacuate!" ”

Wei Chihu ordered the army to temporarily stop surrounding the palace, retreated 300 steps, and opened the west gate, Zeng Jinghai led 2,000 soldiers to quickly evacuate the palace and ran to the west gate.
