Xian Xian - Chapter 151

When the queen had just succeeded to the throne, there was an outbreak of rebellion by the Langya and Yue kings, but they were defeated in less than a month. The Second King’s rebellion was not so much quelled by the imperial army, as it was that they were incompetent and killed themselves.

Now that it has been in Suigong for three years, the capital of the gods is stable in politics, and the situation is calm everywhere, and the queen’s ruling is gradually on the right track. Anyone? Unexpectedly, at this time, a rebellion broke out in the country.

Moreover, it is still in Yangzhou, which is rich in the world, and runs through the north and the south.

In February, the urgent military report was sent back to Luoyang. Li Chaoge had already returned to the house, and suddenly heard the call from the palace, and immediately changed clothes with Gu Mingke into the palace.

The queen gathered many prime ministers late at night to discuss the Yangzhou rebellion. The atmosphere in the Daye Hall was very solemn, and the Minister of War said: “The rebels launched troops in the name of King Wu and spread the message to various states and counties. Within ten days, they gathered more than 100,000 soldiers. Yangzhou rich generals, and the canal connects the north and the south. If you let it go, you are afraid of serious trouble.”

This rebellion is different from the previous one. The Second Kings Rebellion was a mob. In just a few days, they made many fatal mistakes and quickly ruined themselves. However, the Yangzhou riots were clearly organized and not chaotic. Obviously, they were organized and premeditated.

Another servant asked: “Why did King Wu suddenly appear in Shouzhou? Now in Yangzhou? Did they send someone to pretend to be?”

Many people have this question in their hearts. Although the queen was acting secretly, she couldn’t hide such a big movement from the dead. The people in the court during this period of time? Vaguely heard that King Wu and Concubine Wu got sick, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Queen will let them “die”.

The Minister of War shook his head: “Yangzhou Governor Shi sent a secret letter before he was killed. The letter stated that he did see King Wu. If he was really a person, Yang Zhou Changshi should have warned him in the letter, but he did not remind the court. ? Mentioned the suspicion of King Wu. Either this person is enough to tell the truth, or this is the real King Wu.”

After Li Xu went to Yangzhou, he pretended to be under the secret decree of the empress and asked Yangzhou Governor to open the treasury. He also said that he would send troops to conquer Gaozhou. Yangzhou Governor Shi felt that something was wrong and wrote a letter to report to the court. As a result, he was killed as soon as the letter was sent. The other officials who refused to obey were also beheaded. Nowadays, both inside and outside Yangzhou are replaced by rebels, and the court can’t detect any movement in the city.

Everyone debated whether King Wu was true or not. This matter is very important, and it is decided to take it next? What strategy will they use to counteract Yangzhou. There is no reason for Li Chaoge, because I inexplicably think that Li Xu is real.

Rebellion is a big crime. It has been infamy since ancient times. In order to rationalize their behavior, the rebels often used the flag, just like when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang used the name of Fusu in the uprising. The Yangzhou rebels are similar. If they really find someone to pretend to be the prince, wouldn’t it be better to pretend to be Li Huai? Isn’t it better to pretend to be Li Xu?

Therefore, Li Chaoge is more inclined to be Li Xu himself. However, the problem is also here. Li Xu was imprisoned by the empress in Shouzhou. With the empress’s heart, Li Xu has no fewer guards around him. How did Li Xu escape to Yangzhou without knowing it?

Even if the people under surveillance oversight temporarily, and Li Xu escaped for so long, they still? Not at all? Didn’t they find it?

Down? The courtier Fang argued about the authenticity of King Wu, while the queen sat on the top, calmly looking at the message from the front line. After reading it, the queen pointed to the essay, and said to everyone in Fang Fang: “This is your dereliction of duty. This essay is eloquent and talented. The person who wrote the essay must be a rare talent. You are the prime minister. But he didn’t excavate the talents, give him reuse, and let him drift along with the anti-thief. Shiner waited for the fault.”

At the time of the chaos, the queen was not anxious for rebellion, but instead praised the talent of the person who wrote the essay. All the officials bowed their hands and responded to the Queen’s accusation, and Li Chaoge also saluted.

Taishan collapsed in front of his eyes and did not move. This was the grace of the emperor. With the beginning of the queen, the mentality of everyone in the temple was calmed down.

Li Chaoge thought to himself, as expected to be a person who can pave the way for himself for ten years, the empress is still calm. Yangzhou rebellion, is the queen really not in a hurry? If she is not in a hurry, she will not call them into the palace overnight.

But Li Xu scolded the empress for stealing the emperor’s throne, tyranny and vicious, in order to restore Li Tang’s rebellion to create the empress, the more this happened, the more the empress wanted to stabilize her position and show the emperor’s tolerance. If she is angry, it will prove that the swearing in the text is good. When the people’s sentiment is dissipated, the Zhou Wu regime is really dangerous.

The people discussed for a long time, and they have been entangled in whether Li Xu is true. The queen said: “Whether King Wu is true or false, the Yangzhou rebellion is always true. There is no need to entangle the true and false of King Wu. It is true to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. What do you recommend for candidates to conquer the rebels?”

As soon as everyone heard the words of the empress, they knew that the king of Wu in Yangzhou was real. They also did not pursue why King Wu died and came back to life? Now in Yangzhou, they are now discussing the selection of candidates. They mentioned several people, and they didn’t know whether it was intentional or not. No one mentioned Li Chaoge.

Luoyang can now mobilize about 200,000 troops. In a few days, with support from various state roads, there will only be more troops going to Yangzhou to counter the rebellion. Two hundred thousand military power is enough to control the political situation. No one dares to give it to Li Chaoge.

Li Chaoge listened to it for a while, and understood in his heart, these courtiers still thought of Li Huai. Are they so afraid that the government will continue to fall into the hands of women?

However, things can’t help them.

In the early days, there was a three-day debate about the candidate for the coach. On the fourth day, Jiangnan sent back an emergency report saying that foreigners had appeared in the rebels. They were invulnerable, invulnerable to fire and water. They charged at the forefront, as if they didn’t know the exhaustion. All kinds of descriptions are very much the shadow of Shuo Fang’s change back then.

This time everyone was frightened, and the queen convened a meeting again. They talked for an hour, and finally decided to let Li Chaoge go to Jiangnan as a lieutenant.

Back then, Shuofang’s change disappeared inexplicably. For so many years, no one knows the fate of the master behind the scenes. In case this is the same group of people, the dynasty is in danger. No one cares about the party and government at the moment of crisis. After many deliberation, the Queen gave an order to appoint General Zuo Yuqianwei as the general manager of Yangzhou Road, leading 300,000 troops, and appointing Princess Shengyuan Li Chaoge as deputy. Dali Temple Secretary Gu Mingke supervised the military and crusade against Li Xu.

As for why Gu Mingke would go, it was entirely his own request. Originally, there was already Li Chaoge in the team. Gu Mingke, as the secretary of the Dali Temple, had no experience in handling military affairs before, and he was Li Chaoge’s husband, so he should not accompany him to avoid suspicion. However, Gu Mingke took the initiative to ask the queen for her order, and the queen felt that there was not much him in the team, so she agreed.

The rebellion cannot be delayed, and the army will be launched soon. The maid in Princess Shengyuan’s Mansion heard about the rebellion in Yangzhou, but she didn’t find out what had happened. She learned that the princess was going to go out. The maids were startled and hurriedly packed their luggage.

The day before the release, Princess Shengyuan’s mansion was brightly lit, and Gu Mingke sat in the courtyard to check the map. Li Chaoge pushed the door in, and saw him sitting here?, and said: “You’ll hide and be clean, why did you get here? Are you here?”

This is where Gu Mingke has not moved to the place where he lives in front of the main courtyard. It has been idle for a long time. Li Chaoge came over and took a look, and found that he had also moved the maps he had drawn the other day. Li Chaoge picked up a roll and asked, “Is it good to put it in the study? Okay, how did you move these out? Come on?”

“There are too many people in the main courtyard. I was troubled by their quarrels in the study, so I just found a clean place?” Gu Mingke retracted his long sleeves, put the scrolls aside, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Li Chaoge sighed: “The maid is packing my luggage, I have said everything to keep it simple, but they think this is necessary, that is also necessary. I don’t want to hear them babble, so I came out to find you.”

With that said, Li Chaoge looked around and said, “You will hide. I have searched for several places? Only then did I find this place?.”

Didn’t Gu Mingke respond, and persuaded: “They are also doing good for you?. Although you used to go out of the city before, but after all, you are around Luoyang. Rest assured is also common sense.”

“I understand.” Li Chaoge nodded, “but I won’t take the things they prepared. Now I listen to them remind me where to put it? I’m kind of embarrassed. I just don’t listen to it and throw it away tomorrow? I won’t be too guilty when I’m in.”

Gu Mingke smiled lightly. This is something Li Chaoge can do. He can imagine that after the army is sent out tomorrow, the maids will find that there is no less packed luggage. How shocked. Gu Mingke said: “It’s better to prepare more, this time, I am afraid it is not peaceful.”

“I know.” Li Chaoge leaned on the table and let out a long sigh, “I didn’t have to go out for the war, but suddenly there were invulnerable warriors on the front line, and they were afraid that the court would not see these people. Unlike ordinary people, they also put a mask on the warrior. The people of Yangzhou are reminding the court that this is not an ordinary rebel army. It changed the law? Forcing me to go to Yangzhou. I always feel that his picture is not small.”

After hearing this, Gu Mingke remained silent. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: “How do you know that it is not Li Xu?”

“He?” Li Chaoge sneered, “Does he have? This brain. If not? People support him, maybe he even opposes the queen? Don’t dare.”

The empress can be said to be the nightmare of Gaozong’s children. When it comes to the empress, let alone Li Huai, even Li Zhen and Li Xu trembled. Thinking of Li Zhen, Li Chaoge said, “Li Xu is already? When I arrived in Yangzhou, most of Li Zhen was also there. Are the wives of Princess Wu and Li Zhen both?

Gu Mingke was very sure in his heart that with his understanding of that person, Princess Wu and Quan Da must have suffered an accident. However, on the surface, Gu Mingke was cold and cold, saying: “I have never received a report from Shouzhou or Yuanzhou. I don’t know.”

Li Chaoge leaned on the table, his dark eyes filled? Looking at him: “Don’t you know?”

Gu Mingke did not answer, “Where did I learn?”

He didn’t want to admit it, and Li Chaoge didn’t force it. She sighed, Xuxu looked at the pulsating candlelight, and said: “Who is it? I’ll know immediately.”

During the Jiangnan rebellion, the 300,000 army of the court was ready to go. On the day of the expedition, the empress brought literary and military officials, and the women of internal and external orders to the city gate in person to practice for the army.

The coach swears in front, sounding like a bell, so proud. As a deputy general, Li Chaoge shouldn’t be out on this occasion, so he stayed quietly. The six prime ministers, Wu Yuanxiao, Wu Yuanqing, Li Changle, and the two brothers are all here, and even the long-lost Li Huai also showed up. Li Chaoge understood that the empress deliberately brought Li Huai out to rectify her name. Li Huaicai is the crown prince of Gaozong, and Li Xu is a bastard. What qualifications does he have?

Standing behind the crowd, Zhang Yanzhi seemed to have something to say. However, the coach was talking to the queen, and Zhang Yanzhi did not dare to come forward. Okay? It’s easy to wait for the monarchs to finish their greetings, and the head coach will go back to reorganize the army, and he will send out soon. Li Chaoge was impatient to wait a long time ago, and she turned and walked towards her horse. Zhang Yanzhi didn’t care about people around, so he hurriedly stopped Li Chaoge.

“Princess Sheng Yuan!”

Li Chaoge turned around and looked at Zhang Yanzhi unexpectedly. The surroundings are messy, it seems that there are no people paying attention to this place, but after all there are so many eyes around, Zhang Yanzhi is so bold to stop her. Zhang Yanchang squinted his eyes and looked towards them. Even Li Changle and the Wu brothers seemed to move. Zhang Yanzhiming knew that he was dying, but he bit his head, raised his wine glass and made a respect to Li Chaoge. Take a cup.

“The minister is waiting for Princess Sheng Yuan to triumph.”

The person in front was already waiting, Li Chaoge nodded and was about to return to the team. With the gesture of toasting, Zhang Yanzhi took a step forward and suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Don’t trust people.”

Li Chaoge’s eyebrows twitched, meaninglessly? Look at him.

Zhang Yanzhi faced the pressure of his surroundings and stared at Li Chaoge with his eyes, as if there was a faint fire beating in his eyes: “Don’t trust anyone.”

Zhang Yanzhi’s expression was not right, he seemed to know something, but more and more people came here? It seemed that Li Chaoge just acted as Zhang Yanzhi and didn’t say anything, turned around and stepped on his horse, and drove out.

The team went far and wide, like a great wall of steel, raising a sand wall behind. The dark clouds drifted farther and farther, and gradually became a line with the ground line, and they were no longer visible.

Everyone in front of the city gate quietly watched the army go away until the queen moved, and the rest of the people escorted the queen back to the palace like a dream. Zhang Yanchang walked to Zhang Yanzhi, eyes slanted, and asked: “What did you say to her just now?”

Zhang Yanzhi shook his head: “Nothing. It’s just a farewell message.”

In the team, Gu Mingke also asked: “What did he say to you just now?”

Li Chaoge slowly shook his head: “Some have? Some strange words. It doesn’t matter, you can rest assured.”

Gu Mingke glanced at Li Chaoge quietly, didn’t he? Ask again. Yesterday, he specially sent someone to inquire about the Pei family’s movements. Unexpectedly, there was no news of the death of Pei family Dalangjun from Yunzhou.

Ji An has already recovered his memory, there is no need to stay in the world to play a role, but Pei Ji’an is still alive, which means that Ji An has not returned to the heavenly court.

Gu Mingke glanced at the iron armor and gave a soft lick in his heart. He doesn’t know any luck recently, and it seems that he can easily meet old people.

It was Ji An before, but now, there is that person. Calculating this way, they really haven’t seen each other for too long.

The army rushed all the way and quickly reached Jiangnan Road. With the help of the land, the rebels occupied the capital Liangshan and held fast. The imperial army surrounded the foot of the mountain and launched the first offensive.

There was a huge gap between the miscellaneous soldiers and the regular army of the imperial court, but when the imperial court had the upper hand, the mountain suddenly rushed down to a group of tall and mighty masked warriors. Their bodies are heavy, and the shaking rocks on the ground are jumping, and the iron guns in their hands can overturn many soldiers. What is even more frightening is that these masked warriors are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and they rush forward as if they are exhausted, even if they are slashed by a knife, they do not shrink back.

How can ordinary soldiers compare with this kind of war machine, and they will soon be defeated?

In the evening, the generals led the battle report from the front and argued fiercely. Someone said: “The capital of Liangshan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are masked warriors on the mountain roads. Ordinary soldiers can’t beat the masked warriors, and the cavalry can’t perform on the mountain. Why don’t we give up the capital Liangshan, soldiers. Divide into two paths and go straight to Yangzhou. Once King Wu is captured, the rebels outside will surrender without a fight.”

“No.” Li Chaoge didn’t want to think about it, and immediately objected, “Li Xu has only one hundred thousand people, and we have three hundred thousand. The number is originally our advantage. Once the forces are dispersed, wouldn’t it be self-destructive of the Great Wall? Yangzhou has The city wall is guarded, and there is a moat outside, which will definitely not be able to attack it for a while. The rebels are likely to go around behind us. By then, we will be in a dilemma, and we will be in danger.”

“But all? Liangshan can’t? Conquer. If we delay any more, we will be surrounded as soon as the rebel reinforcements arrive.” Li Chaoge narrowed his eyes and whispered: “Who said that Liangshan can’t? Conquer. I fell. Let’s see, what is pretending to be a fool.”

In today’s first battle, Li Chaoge did not go to the front, but stayed behind to observe the battle. Fighting is not the same as fighting. Fighting is all about rushing forward, but fighting is not a matter of one person. No matter how strong she is, she can’t solve all the masked warriors. Finding the way to break the game is the most important thing.

She observed the samurai all day, and just went to the wounded camp to see the wounds. Li Chaoge had some vague thoughts in her heart, but she was not sure if she hadn’t had any close contact. Li Chaoge intends to take advantage of the dark night to explore the capital Liangshan, and after he finds out the weaknesses of these masked warriors, he can customize his tactics.

However, the army is not the same as the Town Demon Division. This is not her territory. She must discuss with other people before she acts. Otherwise, she went to spy on the mountain and the others retreated. What else did Li Chaoge fight. Li Chaoge said his plan, and the rest of the generals discussed fiercely, and they said anything. The coach listened silently to the debate. He looked at Gu Mingke, who was sitting quietly, and asked, “Gu Supervisor, what do you think?”

Gu Mingke nodded: “I think this plan is very good? It’s feasible.”

All of them are martial artists. When they heard this, some people whispered: “He is a literary man, how can he understand the art of war?. He didn’t dare to offend the princess, surely everything? Say yes?.”

The voice of the person speaking was very low, but Li Chaoge heard it all. She couldn’t help frowning, but Gu Mingke was very calm, calm and calm. Li Chao Ge-nian was working together for the first time, and it was not good? Falling out, so he put up with that person’s rude remarks.

Li Chaoge thought that when Gu Mingke fought, the ancestors of these people here didn’t know whether they were born or not. Gu Mingke said yes, that is really feasible.

In the end, the coach made the decision and waited for another day. Li Chaoge took a few agile soldiers to explore the way on the mountain. As a “literati”, Gu Mingke could only stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for her.

The rebels occupy the capital Liangshan, relying on their own cards, and are very negligent in defense. Li Chaoge slipped to the mountain with ease, and she signaled the soldiers to split up, and once they found the masked warrior, they immediately contacted him with a secret signal.

The soldiers dispersed in pairs, and Li Chaoge acted alone, looking for the masked warriors one by one tents. These masked warriors reminded Li Chaoge of the four warriors of the Wushen Temple. Naturally, the fighting power of the four warriors of the Wushen Temple is much stronger, but this kind of wide-open, heavy and hard attack style is very similar.

If she guessed right, these samurai should not be living creatures, they can only attack people after they are activated with a special technique. The four samurai in Wushen Temple are stones, and the samurai here should also be similar things.

Li Chaoge sneaked into the tent to look for it, paying particular attention to bronze statues, stones and other objects. She is very light, she has a good figure, and she falls silent on the ground. The rebel soldiers in the tent were asleep, completely unaware that someone was passing over their heads.

Li Chaoge came all the way and found no suspicious decorations. Li Chaoge turned to the main account, thinking that there might be clues in the main account. In the main tent? It’s pitch black, nothing? Can’t see, she enters the tent, like entering no one’s land?. The person behind the screen is snoring, completely ignorant.

Li Chaoge approached the table and was about to turn through the letters inside. Suddenly, his eyes drenched, and he waved his hand and flew a knife to the side. That corner was hidden in the dark, and there was no sound? There seemed to be nothing? Nothing. But Li Chaoge had already drawn his sword and attacked that side without saying a word.

The swords connected, making a crisp buzzing sound. Qian Yuan Jian felt a strong enemy, and the sword spine trembled with excitement. Li Chaoge and the other party had gone through a dozen tricks in the dark, and both of them were surprised.

The person behind the screen turned over, and they both stopped the movement, and immediately left the main account. As soon as he came into contact with the outside air, Li Chaoge immediately let go of his hands and feet, injected true energy into the Qianyuan sword, and hit the opponent with all his strength.

The other party caught Li Chaoge’s sword move with his hand, and a gale suddenly rolled up on the flat ground. At this time, the moon passed through the dark clouds, slowly illuminating the ground. Li Chaoge saw the opponent’s face clearly through the moonlight, and was taken aback.

“It’s you?”

“why you?”

The two made a sound almost at the same time. Li Chaoge received his sword, raised his hand, and said to the soldiers lying in ambush around him: “Let it go, right?”

Tents appeared silently from all sides? Many soldiers holding bows came. The visitor looked at this battle and raised his eyebrows and asked: “Have you taken refuge in the court?”

“What kind of refuge.” Li Chaoge gave him an angry look. “I was a princess. I returned to the palace but I could only restore my identity.”

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he paused and asked, “Old man Zhou, these years? Where have you been?”

Zhou Changgeng shrugged: “The whole world is home, wherever you go. What are you doing here? What are you doing?”

“I still want to ask you.” She stared at Zhou Changgeng closely and asked, “Why are you in the rebel barracks?”

Zhou Changgeng folded his arms, standing completely out of shape, and said: “I don’t care who is the rebel, who is the righteous? Teacher, I am here? I want to find something.”

Li Chaoge realized: “Those masked warriors of unknown origin?”

Zhou Changgeng nodded his head: “Yes. This kind of thing is very evil. I saw it once several years ago, but unfortunately I didn’t catch it. This time it appeared again.”

The movement of the two of them just now shocked people, and gradually there was the sound of footsteps coming here. Li Chaoge took a look and said, “I also came to solve the different art. This is not the place to speak. Let’s change the place to talk in detail.”

Zhou Changgeng didn’t matter, he followed Li Chaoge down the mountain. Zhou Changgeng was also an old fried dough stick, and he descended very quickly, and they soon returned to the imperial court barracks. The soldiers on patrol saw a sloppy middle-aged man entering the camp, and were very alert, while Li Chaoge was very calm. While leading Zhou Changgeng into the camp, she said, “This is the camp where we are temporarily stationed.” You don’t have a token, don’t walk around.”

Zhou Changgeng impatiently? Listen, he doesn’t like dealing with people in the court, but Li Chaoge has returned to the palace, which is really troublesome. Li Chaoge led him to his camp and asked on the road: “What have you been doing all these years? Back then? Once you left, there was no news. I thought you were dead outside.”

Zhou Changgeng disdainfully? Snorted: “Fart, this world? Yes? Who can beat me?”

When the soldiers around heard Zhou Changgeng say such vulgar words in front of the princess, their eyes widened in surprise. But Li Chaoge has adapted well? He is obviously used to it: “Then you don’t have a word? Don’t go to ten miles? The mountain? The village? Many people have asked you.”

Zhou Changgeng was used to being free. He left as he wanted, stayed as he wanted, and was the most impatient and restrained. But now he hears Li Chaoge’s words, how much he feels sorry: “That is not to save my life. You also know that I was chased by my enemy, so it is not convenient to reveal whereabouts.”

Li Chaoge unceremoniously? sneered: “You just said, under the sun? No one can beat you.”

“Under the sky? Isn’t there?, but there are other places? Ah.” Zhou Changgeng muttered, “Who keeps those ice cubes lingering, no matter where I go? Follow. Especially the one surnamed Qin…”

Zhou Changgeng didn’t finish speaking, he saw the front tent door opened, and a person came out from inside.

Zhou Changgeng choked on the remaining half of his words. Gu Mingke faintly glanced at the visitor and smiled at Li Chaoge: “You are back.”
