The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 222 The divine bird is coming!

Therefore, the news of the rebellion of Luoyang garrison general Yang Lang was quickly known to the people in the court in Luoyang City, and the news was quickly spread to Chang'an City!

For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court were in shock.

They never expected that just a corruption case could lead to a rebellion among the military generals, not to mention the rebellion among the guards in Luoyang City!

In terms of prosperity, Luoyang City is a metropolitan city second only to Chang'an City.

If Luoyang City is completely controlled by the rebel general Yang Lang, the consequences will be disastrous.

As long as the rebel general Yang Lang takes control of Luoyang City, they will have the support of baggage, and then they can defend the city and confront the imperial army!

By that time, the imperial army will definitely not attack Luoyang City on a large scale.

When Bai Zhi heard Di Renjie's words, he didn't make arrangements immediately. Instead, he looked at Di Renjie and asked him what he thought.

"In my opinion, we should first send someone to secretly contact Luoyang guard Yang Lang to see if we can persuade Yang Lang to surrender. The best result is to be able to surrender without fighting!"

"If not, we can only send troops to surround Luoyang City and trap Yang Lang in Luoyang City first..."

Hearing Di Renjie's words, Bai Zhi was noncommittal, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In that case, then do what you want first. If it doesn't work, we will talk about it later!"

"Yes!"

With the support of the divine bird, Di Renjie felt more confident and quickly returned to the palace, convening the court ministers to discuss how to deal with Yang Lang's rebellion.

The news of Luoyang City Guard Yang Lang's rebellion quickly spread to Chang'an City, which made the people in Chang'an City aware of it, and for a time people in the Great Wall became panic-stricken.

"What!? The Luoyang guard actually rebelled?!"

Upon hearing the news, everyone's first reaction was disbelief, thinking it was just a joke played by others.

But hearing more and more people say it, they have to believe it.

"What happened? Why did the Luoyang City Guards betray the imperial court!?"

"Is it because of the corruption incident involving the Minister of Household Affairs some time ago?"

"It's very possible! I heard that the Minister of Hubu and the General of Luoyang are colluding with each other, and now that the Minister of Hubu has been detained by the court, it is natural to investigate the General of Luoyang!"

"And the Luoyang guard naturally knew what crime he had committed and knew that he could not escape death, so he made a dangerous move!"

"How stupid! I don't even think about who is in charge of Chang'an City now, who dares to do something rebellious!"

"But after the Luoyang City defender rebels, will he lead troops to attack Chang'an City? Will Chang'an City still be safe by then?"

"The rebel generals should not dare to attack Chang'an City. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of defenders around Chang'an City. The number of soldiers and horses in Luoyang City alone cannot be compared with that of Chan City!"

"Not to mention that there is a divine bird in Chang'an City! The divine bird will definitely not watch Chang'an City suffer from war!"

After hearing this analysis, the originally panicked person suddenly felt relieved and felt full of confidence.

"I wonder how the imperial court will handle this matter. Will it send troops to attack Luoyang City and capture the rebel coach!?"

"Compared with Chang'an City, Luoyang City is also extremely prosperous. I heard that when the Empress was on the throne, she intended to rename Luoyang the Divine Capital as the second capital of the Tang Dynasty!"

"If the rebel generals in Luoyang City are smart and defend the city, based on the prosperity of Luoyang City, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to defeat the rebel generals in a short time!"

"..."

……

While the people in Chang'an City were talking about this matter, the atmosphere in the Weiyang Palace in the imperial palace was also extremely solemn.

"I just returned from Princess Yong'an's Mansion and asked Shenniao for his opinion on the matter. Shenniao agreed to handle it according to this method first. If it really doesn't work, Shenniao will naturally take action."

When the civil and military officials in the main hall heard this, they suddenly felt relieved, and the solemn look on their faces also faded a little.

At this moment, the only military general among the fifteen officials came out. As a general of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally had absolute say in the matter of the war.

"In that case, the Prime Minister will arrange it directly!"

"it is good!"

Seeing the generals' cooperation, Di Renjie showed a look of confidence on his face, and he immediately told all the plans according to his own ideas.

First, Di Renjie sent people to Luoyang City quickly, preparing to secretly meet with the Luoyang rebel general Yang Lang and try his best to persuade him to surrender.

If this step doesn't work, then prepare to use troops.

Therefore, in the next few days, the court seemed to be extremely calm, and it seemed that it was not aware of the rebellion of the Prime Minister of Luoyang City.

There were even some loyal people who directly stood in front of the residences of some dignitaries and asked the court what they thought of the rebellion, or if they were willing to make suggestions.

Regarding this matter, some dignitaries naturally did not dare to offend, so they invited the loyal people who were guarding the door of the mansion into the mansion. As for what happened next, others did not know.

But it can be clearly felt that the city of Chang'an has become calmer.

Seven days passed in a flash. The distance from Chang'an City to Luoyang was not far to begin with. The imperial envoys had also returned from Luoyang City, but they did not bring good news.

"Yang Lang didn't believe the court's words at all, so he directly rejected all our conditions!"

Above the court, Di Renjie looked at everyone below with a solemn expression, and the civil and military officials could not help but look serious as well.

Only the generals in the court looked excited, gearing up and eager to try.

"If that's the case, then prepare to launch troops!"

"What do you think?"

"We second the proposal!"

After hearing Di Renjie's words, everyone nodded together without any objection. After all, the plans had been made before, so there was nothing more to say.

……

The news that the imperial court was reorganizing its troops and preparing to send troops to Luoyang instantly spread throughout Chang'an City. The people within the Great Wall were talking a lot, and they all speculated on how many days the imperial army would be able to capture Luoyang City.

But more people held a pessimistic attitude, because they also knew that it would be very difficult for the imperial army to capture Chang'an City.

Obviously, the rebel general Yang Lang is very likely to defend the city. At that time, because of the people in the city, it will be impossible for the imperial army to attack the city on a large scale.

If the entire city was directly blocked, it would cut off the material supply of the rebel general Yang Lang's army, but it would also make it impossible for the people in the city to live.

"I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble this time..."

In Chang'an City, some people sighed.

"Our army in the Tang Dynasty is famous for its reputation. Countless generals have gone to war abroad and expanded their territories. However, I never expected that there would be internal strife among young people at home!"

Some people gritted their teeth and criticized the rebel general Yang Lang in Luoyang City.

For a time, countless knights and knights voluntarily joined the army to join the war, or served the imperial court in their own way.

But it had no impact on the general direction. Within half a month, the imperial army came to Luoyang City to confront the rebels in the city. As expected, the rebel general Yang Lang in the city also held the people in the city hostage to confront the court, which made it difficult for the court to issue an order to attack the city.

The news from Luoyang quickly spread to Chang'an City. Prime Minister Di Renjie frowned when he heard the news, and the civil and military officials did not know what to do.

The officials discussed in the court, but in the end there was no good solution. Finally, an official suddenly said: "In this case, we can only report this matter to the divine bird!"

"That's all you can do!"

Everyone's faces couldn't help but show signs of decadence. Asking the divine bird for advice on matters above the court wouldn't mean they were incompetent.

Prime Minister Di Renjie, who was sitting above, also frowned slightly. In his original idea, if secretly persuading Yang Lang to surrender failed, he would then raise his troops to attack.

At that time, when Yang Lang saw the mighty imperial army, he should have been afraid and surrendered without fighting, but he did not expect that Yang Lang would dare to continue to confront the imperial army and even take the people of a city hostage.

Things were completely out of his control, and at the same time, he couldn't help but start to reflect on himself. He knew that he was too immersed in the power of the Tang Dynasty, thinking that according to the power of the Tang Dynasty, no one would dare to defy the will of the Tang Dynasty.

But unexpectedly, he was slapped loudly by someone inside.

"In this case, we can only invite the divine bird!"

Hearing the discussion among the officials in the court, Zeng sighed to Di Renjie and then said.

Hearing Prime Minister Di Renjie speak, everyone's eyes also fell on him.

"You guys, please wait in the palace. I will personally go to Princess Yong'an's Mansion to invite the divine bird!"

The people in the court watched Di Renjie leave and began to wait as if on pins and needles.

In Princess Yong'an Mansion, Princess Yong'an Li Xinni naturally heard about the incident in the court. Even if she was obsessed with poetry and books, she couldn't help but put down the Book of Songs in her hand and looked at the sacred bird beside her.

"Why did the Luoyang general rebel?"

Li Xinni couldn't help asking.

From the perspective of Li Xinni, a homebody, isn't it good to be busy with one's own affairs in the house? Why would she do such a sinful thing?

"There is no reason, just a desire that is hard to satisfy!"

Bai Zhi shook his head slightly, and told Li Xinni one by one why Yang Lang rebelled. After understanding the whole story, Li Xinni couldn't help but frown, "This Yang Lang really deserves to die. Since the trouble has reached this point, I'm afraid the court will not be able to do anything!"

Li Xinni began to analyze carefully in her mind. If the army of the Tang Dynasty insisted on attacking Luoyang City, it would inevitably harm the people in Luoyang City. I am afraid that by then, the damage to the Tang Dynasty would be more serious than the rebellion of one or two guards.

"Logically speaking, if you are in charge of the imperial court now, no one would dare to rebel. What on earth are they thinking..."

Li Xinni was a little hard to understand, but finally sighed: "It's hard to satisfy my desires..."

"It won't be long before the Prime Minister will come to the mansion and invite the divine bird to come over!"

Knowing what was happening outside, Li Xinni picked up the "Book of Songs" on the side again. For her, the divine bird would definitely handle this matter.

"The Prime Minister is here now..."

After hearing Li Xinni's words, Bai Zhi looked outside the mansion. Sure enough, as soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, he saw Prime Minister Di Renjie walking into the mansion under the leadership of a waiter.

"Your Majesty Di Renjie, I have seen the divine bird and Her Royal Highness Princess Yong'an!"

Di Renjie saluted respectfully, but without waiting for Di Renjie to speak again, Bai Zhi took the initiative and said: "I already know the news about Luoyang City. You should go back to the palace first. I will go to the palace in person in a moment!"

"……Yes!"

Sighing in his heart at the mighty movement of the divine bird, Di Renjie bowed respectfully again and then left.

"Who told you what to do?"

Li Xinni looked at Bai Baizhi curiously.

"Of course I want to teach the traitor general Yang Lang a lesson, and at the same time, I also want to give a naked example to everyone in the world!"

"Let people in the world with evil intentions think twice before doing anything!"

After answering Li Xinni's question, Bai Zhi's figure disappeared immediately, and when she reappeared, she was already in Weiyang Hall.

When Bai Zhi arrived at Weiyang Hall, Prime Minister Di Renjie had not returned yet, but the civil and military officials naturally saluted respectfully when they saw the divine bird entering the palace.

After learning about the situation in Luoyang from the civil and military officials, Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and then said: "Just leave the affairs of Luoyang City to me, and you will prepare for the aftermath!"

"……Yes!"

Although the civil and military officials were curious about how the divine bird would handle this matter, they naturally did not dare to neglect the divine bird's orders.

But just when they responded, they looked up again and saw that the figure of the divine bird had disappeared without a trace.

"Did the Divine Bird go directly to Luoyang?"

"It should have gone directly to Luoyang!"

"After all, with the magical power of the divine bird, traveling between Chang'an and Luoyang only takes the blink of an eye!"

"I just don't know how the divine bird will deal with the crisis in Luoyang..."

"Don't be curious, just wait quietly, listen to the words of the divine bird, and wait for the funeral to be dealt with. We will naturally know by then!"

"..."

A moment later, when Prime Minister Di Renjie returned to the palace, he heard the news that the divine bird had gone to Luoyang City, and some were curious about how the divine bird would be dealt with.

……

Luoyang City.

As a prosperous city that is only inferior to Chang'an City, there are countless merchants traveling all over the world. A large amount of goods are transported to Luoyang City, or to the Western Regions, or from the Western Regions to Luoyang City, and then from Luoyang City was transported to all directions of the Tang Dynasty.

And the garrison that can be stationed in Luoyang City will naturally not be much worse in material life.

Therefore, when the people in Luoyang City heard that the general stationed in Luoyang City had rebelled because of corruption, they were immediately shocked and couldn't believe it.

When Bai Zhi came to the sky above the huge Luoyang City, he looked down at the fertile land below, and saw a large number of imperial troops stationed outside Luoyang City. Luoyang City seemed to have lost its former prosperity.

It was already the tenth day of lighting the lanterns, the setting sun in the west dyed the clouds red, and the sky was getting dark, but the once brilliant lights were gone in Luoyang City.

Bai Zhi did not hide his figure, and even used magical powers to expand his figure to countless times, allowing people below him to see his figure even from high in the sky.

The army outside Luoyang City was stationed on the vast land, stretching for several miles, with flames like torches. The lights on the Luoyang city wall were also brightly lit, setting off the darkness inside the city.

"What's in the sky?!"

At this moment, someone noticed the changes in the sky. Above the gray sky, a brilliant light suddenly appeared.

"That's...could it be that the divine bird is coming!!"

　The chapter numbers in the first few chapters are wrong, but it doesn’t have much impact.
