10. Jingzhou closed the city
On the buttress in front of the military mansion of Changwu City, Wen Ruya and other four bloody heads were placed on it.
They were all booby-trapped.
But in fact, Wen Ruya and others had a premonition of their fate when Shuofang's army was split, and their subordinates were assigned to Li Huaiguang's account - no matter whether Li Huaiguang turned over the old accounts or had new grievances, he would not let them go.
The booby trap was planned by Zhai Wenxiu, a lieutenant in the prison army, who suggested that Li Huaiguang issue a new order for the guards: arrange for Wen Ruya, Pang Xianhe and other four generals to go out of the camp to patrol and guard, but as a result, they were arrested a few steps away from the camp, and they were immediately charged with "leaving the camp without permission" and all of them were executed.
The troops of the four generals were all annexed, and so far Li Huaiguang had 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, which was invincible.
Gao Ying, the judge of the shogunate, watched Li Huaiguang collude with the prison envoys to slaughter the old generals of Shuofang, but he couldn't do anything, and Du Huangsheng, who was the only one who could suppress Li Huaiguang, was also pushed back to Beijing.
Here in Suining, Li Huaiguang can be said to do whatever he wants!
When Li Zhou, as the envoy of Yuanzhou Yingcheng, arrived in Changwu City and read the emperor's edict, Li Huaiguang immediately bowed to the ground and accepted the order.
Subsequently, Li Huaiguang, Gao Ying, Zhai Wenxiu, and Li Zhou selected 15,000 Changwu City soldiers, and Shi Yanfen and Daxi Xiaojun were left behind, raised the banner, and set off to Jingzhou City, which was not far away, to replace Duan Xiushi as the new Jingyuan Jiedu envoy and Yuanzhou Assassin History.
And at this moment, Duan Xiushi, who was full of melancholy, had stopped at the Lingao Station in the west of the capital, and he had to take up his post within the specified schedule.
But the Anxi camp in Jingzhou City is like a volcano about to explode and erupt.
A gentle and elegant Ma Ben, who had desperately escaped from Changwu City, crossed the mountains and mountains, rushed in front of Li Huaiguang's army, rushed into the military palace in Jingzhou City, and bowed down in front of Liu Wenxi and the generals of Zhong'anxi, who stayed in Jiedu, and cried loudly, saying that his own commander was still killed by Li Huaiguang and Zhai Wenxiu, two traitors, and told the generals a thunderbolt on a sunny day:
"The Holy Lord has ordered Li Huaiguang to be the envoy of the Jingyuan Festival!"
"What?" Liu Wenxi, Jiao Bochen, Ma Di, Zhang Yufei, Liu Haibin and others will be shocked and angry.
Why let the people of Shuofang take care of the affairs of our Anxi camp?
Then Na Ma Ben reported an even more shocking news: "It is said that the Holy Lord ordered Li Huaiguang to assassinate the history of Yuanzhou, and supervised An's westward camp to Pingliang and Guyuan to build a city. ”
"How can it be!" After hearing this, all the Anxi generals couldn't hold back their anger, roared and got up, and held the hilt of their swords one after another.
Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Wenxi and Jiao Bochen, who were the most senior, and the two generals were willing, so they hugged each other's fists, "Duan Shuai was framed by Yang Yan's life, and the Holy Lord was not considerate of us, and now the situation is forced to disobey." All the generals sat up and simply divined, and the person selected was Liu Wenxi.
Soon, the beacon tower at the head of Jingzhou City suddenly lit a reed torch, and the Anxi soldiers who were working in the fields of the Baiquan Army Tun created by Gao Yue raised their heads one after another, looking at the beacon fire in surprise, and then there was a terrible sound of Hu Ji from the corner tower, which was a signal to order the whole army to assemble.
Liu Wenxi and the generals stood on the podium in the city, and the Anxi soldiers stood on all sides of the stage.
Among the crowd, even many relatives of the Anxi camp also flocked to him.
Because looking at this situation, there must be a major event of life and death.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after we waited for peace and historical chaos, we fought and went to the national disaster, the brother died and the brother succeeded, the father died and the son inherited, first fought in Henan and Hebei, and then then the west of the country for more than ten years so far, I asked myself if I was worthy of the three generations of holy masters. But the Holy Lord treats me so thinly! We and other military government was originally in Pizhou, just overcame the thorns, won the peace of Sannong, and was relocated to Jingzhou, Jingzhou was all barren and hazelnut at that time, we waited for the blue wisps of the road, set up a fortress, opened up the military camp, but now it is just spring ploughing, and we have to throw us outside the plug to Pingliang to build a city! ”
As soon as the words were finished, all the soldiers in the audience gnitted their teeth, and some of them even knelt on the ground and cried.
Liu Wenxi took the opportunity to shout: "Duan Shuai originally asked for our life, but who would have thought that the Holy Lord would be deceived by the treacherous minister Yang Yan, depose Duan Shuai and return to Beijing as Si Nongqing, and let Li Huaiguang come here to win the festival, are you willing to be driven to the desolate wilderness and trampled to death like ants?" ”
"I don't want to!" Suddenly, under the stage, thousands of arms were raised, and countless angry eyes were bloodshot.
"Sons and daughters, now close the city and defend yourself, and play a bloody game, please ask the Holy Lord to stop the battle of building the city in Yuanzhou, and return Duan Shuai to continue to control my Jingyuan!" Liu Wenxi and the generals raised their arms and shouted.
"Yui, don't dare to quit!" All the soldiers of Anxi shouted like this, and then the officers at the grassroots level such as the commander of the army, the chief of the army, the team leader, and the team leader all ripped off the forehead cloth, took the lead in biting their fingers, and wrote the name in blood, and the rest of the soldiers all followed suit.
In the evening, the city wall of Jingzhou city circumference is seven miles, the city gate is rumbling and closed, the fire is bright on the corner tower watchtower, the elite soldiers and fierce generals are all on the city to patrol, the people are ordered to forge arrow clusters, make equipment to prepare for war, the whole Gechuan until Lianyun Castle, the pavilion barrier, the beacon are all in strict formation, such as facing the great enemy.
In the military palace, Liu Wenxi and the generals were nervously discussing - they also knew that the danger of doing so was extremely great, and they could not completely hope that the imperial court would appease them, if Li Huaiguang and other troops were ordered to attack and suppress it, what should Jingzhou City do?
"It's better to simply ask Xifan for help, if the court is unwilling to meet our requirements, follow the story of Gu Huaien and Gao Hui! (Offering the city to lead Xifan to attack Chang'an)" Jiao Bochen was furious.
"No, asking for help from Xifan is tantamount to treason, even if you don't think about your own wealth and reputation, you have to think about Duan Shuai in Beijing." Ma Di and Liu Haibin firmly disagreed.
Jiao Bochen roared: "This Tang family doesn't treat us as human beings, why should we bother to drive him away and work hard, the king of Fufeng County has guarded the west for the country for so many years, but he can't even keep his family house after his death, how cool is it to sit in the Zichen Palace?" With that, he got up and tore open the curtain behind him.
The generals looked at them in amazement, and two monks knelt behind the curtains, and when they saw them, they hurriedly clasped their hands.
"These two foot monks, and the Xifan second minister (small discourse, the big minister is called the big discourse) is still familiar with each other, as long as you say a word now, they can take advantage of Li Huaiguang's arrival to go out of the city to report the news, and soon there will be 100,000 Xifan troops to aid Jingzhou City."
"Jiao Bochen, you have long been in contact with Xifan?" A group of younger Anxi generals drew their swords in a rage.
And Jiao Bochen and several blind generals also leaned on the pillar and pulled out their swords, "We are just leaving a way back for the Anxi camp!" ”
"Calm down, don't break down." Liu Wenxi also stood up and asked sharply not to engage in infighting.
When everyone was noisy and tense, two accompanying officers hurriedly walked over, "Generals, Gao Kongmu's house slaves are outside, and they are asking to see each other with wax books." ”
"Gao Kongme?" The generals were amazed.
Soon, Shi Fu, who had just become a long-term candidate, led the famous black Kunlun Nu to the middle hall of the Jingyuan Military Mansion.
