243, chasing the commander (above)

Soon, Zhang Shigui did not punish the officer who killed the man, and the news reached the ears of ordinary soldiers. And the ordinary soldiers were all talking about it, obviously very angry. These soldiers were slaves from the Turks, so they were very grouped, and they were obviously incompatible with these foreign officers. The foreign officers thought that they were all low-class and slaves of the Turks, and this time the Tang Dynasty gave them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, those foreign officers treated them as criminals. However, these soldiers thought that they wanted revenge, not for meritorious service, so they were treated like this and felt ashamed.

"Jiang Xiong, we might as well do the opposite, right?" One person said.

"Liao Tao, rebellion? Now that the Tang Dynasty is stable in the world, and the emperor's kindness to us is as deep as the sea, how can we rebel? Jiang Xiong said.

That Liao Tao hurriedly explained: "We don't want to rebel, but to drive this Zhang Shigui away!" If we let him stay with us any longer, I'm afraid we don't know what to do with him! Today he killed one of our brothers, and I don't know how many will be killed in the future, so we have to get rid of him! When the time comes, it would be good to let the other two be the generals of the Snow Shame Army, such as Lord Jingwen. ”

Jiang Xiong also closed his eyes and pondered for a while. If they were to raise troops against Tang, they would not be able to do it. But if they let them drive Zhang Shigui away, and then change someone else to be the general of the shameful army, it is not impossible. What's more, Jingwen is their lifesaver, so it is normal for them to be willing to support Jingwen.

"Alright! Let's prepare! Jiang Xiong agreed.

Next, Jiang Xiong and Liao Tao went to visit some influential people in this group of soldiers, and it didn't take long for everyone to reach a consensus.

"Zhang Shigui get out!" "Zhang Shigui get out!" "Zhang Shigui get out!" ……

At night, it was already time to go to bed, but those soldiers suddenly came out of the tent one after another, shouting the words for Zhang Shigui to get out. And those officers at the grassroots level wanted to suppress it, but they had already been disarmed and then imprisoned.

"What's going on?" Zhang Shigui asked.

"General. Those mutinied! I'm afraid they're going to storm the tent soon, so let's go! The soldier said.

"It must have been instigated by that guy Jingwen, he wants to rebel!" Zhang Shigui immediately buckled a big hat for Jingwen.

Zhang Shigui quickly rode out on a fast horse, and Jingwen and Liu Renliang heard this and immediately went to reassure the soldiers and told them not to kill.

"Your Majesty, Jingwen has gathered more than 100,000 people in Pingyu County to rebel!" Zhang Shigui hurriedly shouted.

"What? Rebel? Li Shimin exclaimed.

Li Shimin was a feudal emperor and was very sensitive to the word "rebellion". Now Zhang Shigui ran back overnight, and it was just morning. Zhang Shigui came over early in the morning and said that someone was going to rebel, which of course surprised Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, yesterday I was in the camp of the Snow Shame Army, but those soldiers suddenly rebelled. They must have been instigated by Jingwen, they want to rebel! Your Majesty, Pingyu County is only dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, I am afraid that they will attack Chang'an City soon, and they will rebel! Zhang Shigui said.

Zhang Shigui said that he tried to detain Jingwen and Xue Shame Jun with a lot of crimes. Or even to rebel. And Li Shimin was also nervous, because Pingyu County has a population of more than 100,000 people, if they concentrate to attack Chang'an City, I am afraid it will have a very bad impact! The meaning of this political zhì is different. So Li Shimin couldn't help but be nervous.

"Go and call the adults!" Li Shimin said.

The adults soon came, and when they heard about it, they all frowned. They don't believe in Jingwen's rebellion either. This one is a bit ridiculous. What's more, they didn't believe that those people in Pingyu County were deeply favored by the emperor, and they would actually rebel? This is simply incredible, so there are a lot of questions!

"Your Majesty. Jingwen, this kid I know, he shouldn't be able to rebel in cavalry! What's more, now that the time and place are favorable, and they are not with him, why should he rebel? It's ridiculous! Wei Zheng said first.

But Dongfang Ye, a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's better to quickly transfer troops to quell the rebellion now, and now I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go." Since they are suspected of rebellion, let's kill them first, for the sake of my Tang Dynasty, I can't let it go lightly! ”

This Dongfang Ye originally had a grudge against Jingwen, so now he directly put a big hat on Jingwen, but hoped that the emperor would transfer troops to quell the rebellion. In this way, even if Jingwen has a few mouths at that time, he can't say it clearly. He wished that Jingwen could die, so that he could let out a bad breath.

But Du Ruhui said very directly: "Your Majesty, Jingwen will not rebel, his wife and concubines are all in Chang'an City, and he will not rebel at this time if he wants to rebel." What's more, near Chang'an City, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of the Twelve Guards, and it is impossible for them to break through. They are just more than 100,000 people who have not undergone real training, and their actual combat strength is only 10,000 or 20,000, where is the opponent of more than 100,000 elite troops near our Chang'an City? Therefore, it was impossible for Jingwen to attack Chang'an City, and he had no motive to rebel. Please don't wronged the emperor! ”

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! Please ask the emperor to transfer troops to suppress it! Zhang Shigui said.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Xuan Ling, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister thought that he could make the twelve guards around Chang'an ready at any time in case of accidents. And such a big thing happened, if Jingwen was wronged, then he would definitely take the initiative to enter Chang'an to explain. If he doesn't explain, we can give orders to rush him. If he doesn't come, it means that he is determined to rebel, and it will not be too late to quell the rebellion when the time comes. Fang Xuanling said.

Li Shimin nodded and said; "Okay, Xuan Ling's words are Lao Cheng's words for the country, so let's do it. If he doesn't explain this evening, it means that he has a ghost in his heart, and we should go and put down the rebellion. ”

And since Li Shimin has made a decision, the next step is to implement this plan. The twelve guards outside Chang'an City are ready to fight at any time. And Li Shimin was waiting for Jingwen to come over to explain, if Jingwen took the initiative to come over and "send him to death", it would show that he didn't have any idea of rebellion, it was just a misunderstanding. But if Jingwen doesn't come, then the problem will be strict, and then troops will have to be transferred over to quell the rebellion. (To be continued......)
