Chapter 535 The Storm in the River East (7)

"Your Majesty, I am very sorry! Both the upper and lower Hedong are under the control of Your Majesty and the court. The King of Taiyuan and the Messenger want to use their own power and selfishness to do rebellious things. I am sorry that I cannot follow each other!" Greeting Li Seeing Cungui's astonished and angry eyes, Muzuo took a step forward and cupped his hands.

"A traitor!" Li Cungui spat fiercely.

Looking past the staff and looking at Yang Ye, Li Cungui's voice trembled: "You want to take my life?"

"In any case, you were sealed by the imperial court for the defense of Xinzhou, and I don't have the authority to deal with it. My task is to control Xinzhou and Daizhou!" Yang Ye looked at him and said calmly.

Listening to his words, Li Cungui's old face was obviously relieved, and immediately said with a little expectation: "Guhou, I will never turn my back on you, and everything is obeying the orders of the King of Taiyuan and the Jiedu Mansion. It caused trouble. If I offended you before, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Please also ask Nao Hou, seeing that I am old and my mind is dim and blind, please forgive me!" With more hope in his eyes, Li Cungui said to Yang Ye: "In order to repay his kindness, I would like to share [-]% of my family property and dedicate it to Yang Ye. Nao Hou!"

Li Cungui seemed to be confused and flustered. He called respect, and pointed to the two beautiful ladies who were wrapped in brocade quilts on the couch behind him fearfully, and said: "These two beautiful ladies, I would like to Dedicated to Hou Hou!"

"Hahaha! Li Shijun, you are so generous!" Yang Ye laughed, his tone full of sarcasm: "As the defense envoy of a big man, the weight is so unbearable!"

Hearing Yang Ye's words, Li Cungui's old face showed a touch of shame and anger, but he held back.

"You have shown the wrong person with your kindness!" Yang Ye stared at Li Cungui and said lightly: "If you want to redeem yourself, and your guilt has been reduced, then you can help in peace and suppress the army that controls Xinzhou. After the matter is over, the court will May be punished as appropriate!"

Like a drowning man grabbing a straw, Li Cungui hurriedly said: "Definitely! Definitely!"

In Jinyang, just as agreed, the Kelan Army and the Liaozhou Garrison arrived in Jinyang one after another, with an interval of only one hour.Liu Chongwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent people to call the Kelan army Zheng Qian and Li Wanchao from Liaozhou into the city.

However, the result made him furious, and both of them could not get away with the arrangement of soldiers, and the excuses should not be used.

"What do they want to do, how dare they disobey my orders and follow my wishes!" After receiving the news, Liu Chong wandered around the mansion hall, waving his hands wildly, furious.

The "remonstration strategy" Zheng Gong gave him was to call the two armies to come in the name of selecting soldiers, control their generals, and recruit their soldiers for their own use. Being in control can also make him more confident and wrestle with the imperial court.

Now the first step has gone extremely smoothly, and the Kelan Army and the Liaozhou Army have come as ordered.But how could Liu Chong not be annoyed at the step of Hongmen Banquet?

Li Ting was next and reported to Liu Chong: "Your Majesty, Zheng Qian led an army of [-] troops and stationed in the north of the city, and Li Wanchao led an army of [-] troops and stationed in the south of the city. Watching his actions, his intentions are unclear!"

Liu Chong frowned. The number of troops stationed inside and outside Jinyang City was almost twice that of the two armies. anger.

Seeing this, Zheng Gong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, due to the imperial court's system, the Jinyang garrison all have floating minds, let alone the rest of the soldiers. It is understandable that Zheng Qian and Li Wanchao have scruples."

"Hmph! Now that the army has arrived, it must be brought under control!" Liu Chongchao ordered Li Ting: "You and Zhang Yuanhui lead people, divide them into two armies, disarm their weapons, and take their troops!"

"You must not!" Zheng Gong quickly persuaded: "Zheng and Li are disrespectful to the king on weekdays. With such an action, the two will definitely not stand still and even fight against each other! With Jinyang's strength , Naturally, it can be defeated, but our horse infantry will inevitably be damaged, which will not help the king to achieve great things!"

"If we can take down Zheng and Li with ulterior motives, and let him go up and down the river, and be alone, it will be worth it!" Liu Chong was angry, and said casually, which was quite insightful.

"The minister thought that he should be taken as a whole soldier!" Zheng Gong said.

Looking at him, Liu Chong said directly: "Tell me, how do you collect all the soldiers?"

Zheng Gong smiled slightly and replied: "He has doubts in his heart and dare not enter the city. It is better to send someone to hold a banquet outside the city, invite the two to gather together, and clean up the dust. In this way, they will not be able to refuse again. There will be a hundred and ten knives Axeman, laying in ambush outside, he can be captured with just one hand! I think General Li can be in charge of this matter!"

Zheng Gong's words fell, Liu Chong thought for a while, and suddenly said: "No, Li Yu will go, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to dispel his doubts!"

"Then according to the king's will?" Zheng Gong's complexion changed slightly, and he asked hastily.

There was a "smart" smile on Liu Chong's face, and he waved his sleeves: "Going out of the city alone, it is at the Yongli Station in the south of the city. I don't hesitate to go there in person, giving enough face and showing my sincerity, if I don't go to the appointment again , but it’s really not interesting!”

"Li Ting, it's up to you to arrange a banquet for the soldiers!"

"Yes!"

In fact, if Liu Chong was smarter and more sensitive, he should have seen some problems.It's a pity that one side with power and prestige is not a wise lord at all. After many years of being a vassal king, Liu Chong has long lost his basic judgment.Self-righteousness and self-righteousness showed early on.

Zheng Gong quickly informed Li Shaoyou of Liu Chong's plan quietly.

When the matter reached the most critical stage, Li Shaoyou planned freely during the period and personally sat in the city.Hearing the news, Li Shaoyou's mood was full of surprise and surprise.

According to his original plan, he was to let that stupid Li Ting go out of the city to hold a banquet, to hold an anti-"Hongmen Banquet".Afterwards, the two armies of Zheng Qian and Li Wanchao monitored the Jinyang garrison outside the city.

Zhao Kuangyin took the opportunity to lead the imperial army into the city, raided the palace, and captured and controlled Liu Chong.The key to the plan is Zhao Kuangyin's raid, whether the raid can be successful, whether he can control the palace, and whether Liu Chong can be captured, there are inevitably risks involved.

If you want to control the chaos to the minimum heat, you have to take risks.Li Shaoyou was pondering the plan over and over again, assessing the situation, checking for omissions, but suddenly news came from Zheng Gong's side that Liu Chong planned to leave the city in person.
Doing it in the city is very risky and accident-prone, but if Liu Chongruo walks out of the high walls of the mansion, it will be more maneuverable.

Immediately ordered someone to check whether the news was true. After confirming it, Li Shaoyou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.Flicking the stack of drawings on his case to the ground, he laughed loudly.

Although the previous plan was completely overthrown, all kinds of thoughts and ideas entangled and collided wildly in Li Shaoyou's mind, and slowly formed a new plan, a simple and effective plan.

Without delay, Li Shaoyou immediately sent someone to inform Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng Qian, Li Wanchao and others.

In the evening, Zheng Qian, the envoy of the Kelan Army, and Li Wanchao, the governor of Liaozhou, each led more than ten people from their trilogy, went to Yongli Post for a banquet.And Liu Chong, the king of Taiyuan, drove out of the city in front of him.

Zheng Qian, the envoy of the Kelan army, is a veteran of Hedong. He was a subordinate as early as when Liu Zhiyuan was in Taiyuan.There is nothing to talk about talents; nothing to say about fame, and there is nothing good about governing politics and controlling the army.

He participated in this matter not for other reasons, but because he was old and frail, and he had no ambitions. He was also used to obeying the imperial edicts.Therefore, facing Li Shaoyou, who was entrusted with the mission of the emperor, he had no thought of refusing.In addition, when Liu Chong was in power, he had a lot of quarrels with him. Even if these factors were excluded, as long as he had a little bit of knowledge, he should know where the imperial court and Hedong, the emperor and Liu Chong should stand.

As for Li Wanchao, it was even simpler, not to mention anything else, just because of the friendship he established with Liu Chengyou when he left the east, there was absolutely no reason to follow Liu Chong to fight against the court.

Although the two don't know Li Shaoyou's specific plan, they just need to obey orders and cooperate.

Yongli Station is an official post built in recent years, and it serves as an important official road.Beside the post road, Liu Chong's large and luxurious car was parked, surrounded by Jiedu Yabing guards, which was fairly tight.

In the hall of the station, the aroma of wine is dense, and the smell of meat is pervasive. The wine has been warmed up, and the meat has been boiled.In the cauldron, high-quality incense was burning, and the scene was impressive. Liu Chong personally welcomed Zheng Qian and Li Wanchao in.

"You two, this is the best Fenniang, the top grade of the wine, and it has been stored in the cellar for ten years. My son deliberately entered it with filial piety. Even in the Tokyo Palace, there are not many!" The two said: "Gu is reluctant to eat on weekdays, come, I will drink this cup to the full!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind hospitality!" Zheng and Li were really saving face.

"Both of you are officers of the river east of our country. They have deep prestige. Before that, they worked alone. If there is any negligence, please look forward to Haihan!" The attitude of the two made Liu Chong very satisfied, and he raised his glass again.

But this time, Li Wanchao only held the cup, but did not drink.
