After a while, Wang Xian raised his head, looked at the three senior officials, and said, "Three things." Master Chu proposed a recital table, and the four of us signed it and sent it to the capital in an urgent manner for 800 miles. ”

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded, this is the meaning of the question.

"The second thing is that all localities have issued notices to reassure the people, and the entire territory of Shandong will be exempted from taxes this year, and the people will be ordered to keep to themselves, and not to listen to evil rumors and act rashly!"

"Yes." Chu Yan and Wei Yuan both nodded, the most important thing now is not to quell the rebellion, but to avoid the spread of the chaos and make it out of control.

"The third thing," Wang Xian sighed, looked at Guo Yi and said, "The army will be reorganized immediately after dawn, and the two of us will lead the army to Jimo to quell the rebellion......"

"Yes!" Guo Yi saw that Wang Xian finally listened to him, his expression was greatly lifted, and he responded loudly.

"Your Excellency!" Chu Yan looked at Wang Xian in horror and hissed: "You should know the situation in Shandong best......

Wang Xianyi raised his hand, signaled Chu Yan not to say any more, and said lightly: "If they didn't kill Jimo County's order, they could still recruit an first, but now, this official can only lead the army to exterminate it......" After a pause, he suppressed what he really wanted to say, and reluctantly explained: "The rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Jimo County should not be an accident, but a temptation, and it is useless for us to recruit An." On the contrary, it will be considered that the government is weak and can be bullied, and the result can only be a larger-scale rebellion! ”

"Yes," Wei Yuan nodded and said softly: "And the emperor will definitely not agree to Zhao'an's ......"

Thinking of the self-respecting Yongle Emperor, everyone couldn't help but nod, it must be like this.

"That's it," Wang Xian got up, looked at the three adults, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hou and I will go to quell the rebellion, and Lord Chu and Lord Wei will sit in Jinan and try our best to avoid a bigger rebellion." ”

"Yes." All three nodded in response, their faces full of solemnity.

"Everyone," Wang Xian pondered for a moment, wanting to say something to encourage morale, but the words came to his lips, but only turned into two words: "Take care!" ”

"Take care, my lord!" These two, but caused a strong resonance among the three of them, at this time of turmoil, is there a more appropriate word than 'take care'? .

In the early morning of the third day after the White Lotus Rebellion in Jimo, the 20,000 counterinsurgency army set off from Jinan, Guo Yi was the main general, Wang Xian was the Qin Mission, and the army marched eastward!

Bad news kept coming along the way, in addition to Jimo, the White Lotus Sect in Gaomi, Laiyang, Wendeng, Jiaozhou, Rizhao and other counties also rebelled, and the entire Jiaodong Peninsula seemed to be occupied by the White Lotus Sect!

This made Wang Xian's mood extremely heavy, he was really not prepared...... Those policies have just been implemented, but they have not yet seen results, and the hearts of the people who have been fought over by the White Lotus Sect have not yet returned to the imperial court. What worries him even more is Guo Yi's control over the army, and he has been talking to the main generals in the army these days. Although these people are all 'sworn allegiance to the imperial court', with the awareness of Wang Xian's Tianzi No. 1 spy, they still find that they seem to have different thoughts.

Wang Xian told Guo Yi about this, but Guo Yi reassured him and said with a smile: "The families of those guys have been left in Jinan City, if they dare to mess around, Lao Tzu will kill their whole family!" ”

Listening to Guo Yi's words, Wang Xian was dumbfounded, it turned out that this was the way this Hou Ye made the army reliable! But at this point, he can't say anything more, discuss the battle plan with Guo Yi, and the army still takes Jimo directly! Rebellions elsewhere will be resolved by the government itself, and will be discussed after Jimo is pacified.

After discussing with Guo Yi, Wang Xian lingered in the camp for a long time, he heard the voices of the officers and soldiers laughing and gambling money, but he had no intention of pursuing it, this was not his soldier after all...... In fact, from the moment the emperor did not give him military power, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he felt that this trip to Shandong would completely trap him in. After that, he tried to desperately resist this premonition, but just like Sun Wukong couldn't jump out of the palm of the Buddha, he couldn't resist this powerful whirlpool after all......

Back in the tent, it was already the middle of the moon. Lingxiao, who was dressed as a man, and Gu Xiaolian were in the same account with him, Lingxiao had already slept, and Gu Xiaolian was still waiting for him to come back...... Wang Xian didn't want the two of them to accompany him on the expedition, but he also knew that it was impossible, so he didn't persuade him a word......

Wang Xian sat down on the marching bed, Gu Xiaolian took off his shoes and socks and washed his feet, and suddenly heard Wang Xian's low sigh, Gu Xiaolian looked up, only to see that Wang Xian's eyes were red, and his face was full of sadness.

Wang Xian pulled Gu Xiaolian up and hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong with the official?" Gu Xiaolian felt the hesitation in Wang Xian's heart, and hurriedly asked softly.

"Don't speak," Wang Xian said softly, "let me hug you well." ”

Gu Xiaolian's body softened, and she and her lover quietly embraced each other in this marching camp......

Qingzhou, unloading stone shed, the main hall of the White Lotus Gathering Hall.

This White Lotus Hall is a huge cave, although it is daylight outside, there are still dozens of burning butter torches inside, and the firelight illuminates the hall as bright as a white ground. There were eighteen chairs on each side of the east and west sides of the room, and these chairs were filled with the helmsman hall masters of the White Lotus Sect, all of whom were wrapped in red scarves and wearing armor. There are different complexions on their faces, some are excited, some are nervous, some are restless, and some are restless.

On the stone platform paved with tiger skin in the north, there is a large chair with white bear skin, and the Buddha mother who is dressed in white and covered with white gauze sits on the top, but it is Tang Tiande who is standing beside her who speaks.

"What's going on with Gao Yang'er?!" Tang Tiande's voice was full of anger: "Why don't you listen to orders and raise troops without permission?!" ”

The leaders below looked at each other, and said in their hearts that Gao Yang'er is not here, you ask us, how do we know? But Elder Tang's words could not help but respond, and a leader with a rat whisker and the appearance of a scribe said stubbornly: "The elder is angry, it is said that it is because his family members were arrested by the government, and in order to save people, he launched in advance and attacked the county government. Then I can only do two things without stopping, kill the dog county order, and pull the flag to rebel! ”

The leader who looked like a scribe was Tang Tiande's military advisor named Bin Hong, who had always been relied on by Tang Tiande. Seeing him answer, Tang Tiande slowed down and said, "But in this way, our entire plan will be disrupted!" Now the leaders of Rizhao, Jiaozhou, Gaomi, Laiyang and other places have also responded one after another, so how can we be good? ! ”

"What's there, it's the other way around!" Many leaders shouted: "Haven't we been waiting for this moment all these years!" ”

"That's what I said! But the old man and the Buddha's mother have not yet integrated the disciples of the whole province," Tang Tiande said with a dark face: "At this time of the uprising, how to unify the order and unite all the soldiers and horses?!" "His mood is really terrible, it was originally scheduled that the princes of the province will meet in Qingzhou on the fifteenth day of the next month, if everything goes well, the Buddha Mother will become the co-leader of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, and then he can justifiably grasp all the people in his own hands, and then choose the opportunity to start an incident, the odds of victory will be greatly increased!

But let Jimo's White Lotus Sect toss, the situation is all messed up, today there are five counties to respond, tomorrow maybe a few more counties will follow, people from all walks of life are swarming to pull up the banner, and it will be even more difficult to unify them!

"Elder, this has come to this, we must raise the banner immediately!" Seeing that Tang Tiande was still entangled, Liu Jun, the hall master of Huang County, persuaded: "Otherwise, beware of being picked peaches." ”

"Yes! The military advisor is right! When everyone heard this, they echoed it and shouted: "That Gao Yang'er is very beautiful now, and he called on all the leaders to come to Jimo to discuss the plan with him!" ”

"Phew!" A black-faced man chirped: "What kind of thing is he who is a tall sheep, and he dares to pretend to be the boss like a human?!" "This big man's name is Ding Gugang, and he is the hall master of Pingdu Prefecture, and he has never dealt with that high sheep.

"Isn't it just early!" Liu Xin, the hall master of Linqu County, said strangely: "Raising troops first is the last word!" I heard that Dong Yangao in Dengzhou will have an incident in the next two days! If he gets in our heads, we'll be in big trouble! and Wang Xuan of Laizhou, this product is also instigated by Gao Yang'er's gang and wants to provoke trouble! Once these helmsmen raise their troops, they will be on an equal footing with us! ”

Dong Yangao, Wang Xuan and the others mentioned by Liu Xin were the right-hand men of Lin San when he was there, and the White Lotus Sect in the land of each order has always been unconvinced by Tang Tiande's father and daughter, once they have their own soldiers and horses, it will be extremely difficult to subdue them!

"What Hall Master Liu said is very true," Liu Junda nodded and said, "Elder, since we are orthodox, we should set up a banner as soon as possible, so that heroes from all walks of life can return to their hearts!" Saying that, he looked at the Buddha Mother who had not spoken, and said with a somewhat obscene smile: "With the Buddha Mother here, at least Wang Xuan will not mess around, and the remaining one surnamed Dong will not be able to toss!" ”

Hearing this, all the leaders in the hall secretly snickered, but a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Buddha Mother, Elder Tang coughed, and diverted the topic: "It is imperative to raise troops, but have you thought about it, if we raise troops now, it will be just in the way of the official army, and it will become the object that they must get rid of first!" ”

"......" As soon as Elder Tang said this, all the leaders in the hall were silent, and they all gasped. Don't look at these guys one by one, but in fact, no one has ever fought with the officials and soldiers in front of the gongs and drums. I was anxious to think of the soldiers, just because I was worried that someone else would pick the fruit, but no one was psychologically prepared to fight with the officers and soldiers!

What they want is to let others fight to the death with the officials and soldiers, and sit next to them to reap the benefits. I'm afraid this is also the common idea of the leaders of all walks of life.

"The elder is very worried, that Gao Yang'er is probably not a reckless move, but someone is pulling us into the water behind his back." After Elder Tang finished speaking, Bin Hong also slowly expressed his worries and said: "The old man has lived for most of his life, and there is a lesson that he has learned with blood, that is, people can't be led by others, and the result will definitely not end well!" ”

At this time, everyone was silent, and no one dared to pick this head.
