Chapter 758: He is the Jiedushi of the Three Towns, and his surname is An
Xuzhou, Xiaoqiuye, and the overwhelming army have surrounded this place.
Pan Mei was holding a horizontal sword and was dispatching troops and horses back and forth, while the commander of the army, Duke Li Cunhui of Wei, had his legs crossed and was chatting with An Shensheng, the younger brother of Shen Qi, the police officer of Feng'an County in Pingzhang of Jiaodong Province.
As one of the three military envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty, An Shenqi was able to maintain a high position after entering Tokyo.
Both Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing sacrificed their daughters. In addition, Gao Xingzhou had a good son, Gao Huaide, and Fu Yanqing's eldest son, Fu Zhaoxu, was also the son of a general.
But An Shenqi, a beautyless daughter or granddaughter, was favored by the emperor. The eldest son was only sixteen years old. He had several adopted sons, and the most outstanding An Shouquan was only a general with a thousand men.
Under such circumstances, he can still be on an equal footing with Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing, which shows his high ability and emotional intelligence.
In fact, in terms of force, An Shenqi is slightly inferior to the two Fus, and Fu Yanqing is slightly higher in terms of commanding power, or the three of them are between equals.
But when it came to governing the place, Gao Xingzhou was a bit rough. Fu Yanqing was not strict with his subordinates and was prone to flattery and flattery.
Only An Shenqi was strict and clear, tolerant and concise, strict but not cruel, powerful but not violent. He governed Jiaodong Province for three years, the treasury was abundant, and the people were stable. He was a rare military governor among the Five Dynasties who was good at governing the place.
.
Li Cunhui looked at the mountains and plains, with more than a dozen banners such as Qingzhou Left Guard, Yanzhou Central Guard, Qizhou Licheng Guard and so on. He was afraid that there might not be a huge army of 40,000 to 50,000 people, and he looked helplessly at An Shensheng.
Before setting off, he explained to his father Emperor Shaoming that only 3,000 guardsmen and 2,000 people from Pinglu Town in Qingzhou would be needed.
As a result, An Shenqi directly mobilized the entire Jiaodong Province, the fifteen garrison armies and two forbidden armies, and also recruited a large number of patrol troops, dispatching a massive force of 40,000 to 50,000 people.
When he entered Guanzhong for the first time in the past, Li Cunhui and Murong Nobunaga guarded Zhang Yan together, and they were quite familiar with An Shensheng and even An Shenqi.
If someone else did this, Li Cunhui would definitely suspect that he was going to rebel, and would not find an opportunity to just chop off his head to avoid future troubles.
But when An Shenqi did this, Li Cunhui could only smile bitterly.
Because An Shenqi could not rebel, and he was not a brainless fool. If An Shenqi really wanted to rebel, he would have already joined forces with the Wu Ning Army in Xuzhou.
"What is Duke Guorui doing? He thinks that a certain family is not strong enough and is afraid of not being able to conquer Xuzhou, so he is using so many troops to make a certain family overwhelming?"
What could An Shensheng say? He could only smile bitterly, "Don't you think, Duke Wei, that a certain brother has too much power to mobilize the entire Jiaodong Imperial Guard and Guard Army with just one order?"
Li Cunhui opened his mouth in surprise. What kind of trick was this? He looked at An Shensheng in confusion.
"Does Duke Guorui want a certain family to submit a petition to the saint to accuse him?"
"That's it!" An Shensheng touched the sweat on his head.
"Brother said that he has been guarding Jiaodong for more than three years now. He has seized the military and political power, saying that he is the provincial governor, but his power is no different from that of the previous military governors.
It is still a large-scale Jiedushi of the Taining Army of Yanzhou, the Tianping Army of Yunzhou and the Lu Army of Ziqingping. These three commanders are integrated into one big town, and the Jiedushi of the three towns is not a good title!"
‘Pfft!’ Li Cunhui almost laughed out loud. Not only was he the military governor of the three towns, but An Shenqi also had his surname An, he was also a mixed-race of Sogdian and Shatuo people.
Absolutely amazing! Except for the different orientation from Anlu Mountain, everything else is almost the same.
Seeing Li Cunhui laughing out loud, An Shensheng felt his eyelids twitch.
"My brother really doesn't dare to take up the post of Pingzhang and Defense Envoy of Jiaodong Province. I would like to ask Duke Wei to help write a letter to the saint and send another capable person to take charge of Jiaodong.
In addition, the generals of the two forbidden armies in Qingzhou Pinglu Town and Yunzhou Zhenning Town were all former generals under my brother's command. Most people might not be able to use them when they come.
Therefore, my brother also asked Duke Wei to investigate, and if they can be used, ask the emperor to transfer them out; if they cannot be used, please remove them."
When Li Cunhui heard what An Shensheng said, he immediately put away the playful smile on his face.
Indeed, according to Zhang Zhou's system, the Forbidden Army was under the management of Luantai of Zhongshu Province. The defense envoys of a province could only mobilize guard troops and patrol troops. But now An Shenqi can actually command the Forbidden Army. This is
problematic.
Li Cunhui stood up solemnly and raised his hands to An Shensheng, "Guo Rui Gong is so loyal and loyal to the country, a certain family admired him so much that they only waited for him to leave this city and immediately wrote to the saint."
There are not many people who can make Li Cunhui, who doesn't like this and that, express such an expression by just saying something to others, not even Murong Nobunaga can do it.
But An Shenqi is indeed worthy. According to his power in Jiaodong, he is really no different from the Jiedushi of the Three Towns, no, he should be no different from the King of Qi.
The Xuzhou rebellion by Wang Jun, Xue Huairang and others is just a fool's errand. It would be really dangerous if An Shenqi suddenly launched an attack like this.
No. That’s not right either!
Li Cunhui was shocked. He suddenly remembered that Fu Yanqing, Pingzhang of Hebei Province, was holding an army of 20,000 in Beizhou and had never mobilized it.
Gao Xingzhou also recently took Ma Quanjie's son Ma Sizhong to Cangzhou, and he also had 10,000 elite cavalry in hand.
Li Cunhui never paid attention to it before, but now that he thinks about it, he must have been targeted.
Moreover, my father still has 30,000 of the most elite Helong cavalry in his hands. Murong Nobunaga also has 20,000 armored cavalry in Liaodong. The land in Hebei is flat. If there is a police, they can rush to the Yellow River within a few days.
.
Damn it! Li Cunhui just felt his head hurt. Being an emperor is too taxing on his brain. He has to balance everything, act, and 'fish'.
It seems that Murong Erlang is more like his father. Murong Erlang seems to enjoy doing such troublesome things.
He is on his last legs. He has this energy. It is better to destroy two more countries and then enjoy the pleasure of fine wine and beautiful women.
"Boom!" While Li Cunhui and An Shensheng were talking, a huge collapse sound came. Li Cunhui stood up and took a look, and saw that a large section of the tall west city wall of Naqiuye had collapsed.
The war drums rumbled, and Cao Bin, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, was wearing three layers of heavy armor, surrounded by a group of Zhenning Town soldiers, and rushed in through the gap.
Zaqiu Smelting is the most important city in the north of Xuzhou. It is one of the most important iron smelting bases in the entire Xuzhou Prefecture, Jianghuai Province, and even the country.
Even Wuning Town rebelled and still wanted to keep this place because it was extremely important.
Even now, there are 300,000 kilograms of fine iron stored here, and there are thousands of blacksmiths and textile workers who can make cloth-covered iron armor and pierced armor.
Now that Xiaoqiuye has been lost, Xuzhou not only has its northern gate wide open, but also lost the armor and weapons that were stored here and could not be taken away. The next step is to surround the isolated city of Xuzhou and attack fiercely.
However, Li Cunhui did not forget the instructions of the emperor's adoptive father. Zhao Kuangzan was still in the hands of these rebels and must be rescued. Therefore, he did not care about the situation after the city was broken. Pan Mei and Cao Bin would naturally take care of it.
"An Gong, please bring over the general who defected."
Zhu Yuan was the Marquis of Yu, the second capital of Zuoying in Wuning Town of the Forbidden Army. He was originally Li Shouzhen's general. However, he fought with great merit during the Luoyang War and had always opposed Li Shouzhen's surrender to the Khitans. Therefore, not only was he not liquidated after the war,
He also entered Zhang Zhou's imperial army because of his merit.
Historically, this man was also a ruthless man. He originally helped the Southern Tang Dynasty resist the Hou Zhou Dynasty in Huainan and made many military exploits. However, he was framed by his boss Chen Jue. He immediately arrived in the Later Zhou Dynasty anyway and gave the Southern Tang Dynasty which was already riddled with holes.
Tang Huainan Defense Line, the final fatal blow.
But in this time and space, Zhu Yuan was the only one who led more than a hundred people, and after Li Yuan waited for the rebellion, he left the Wuning Army and ran to the court to report the news.
Li Cunhui showed Zhang Zhang's edict to Zhu Yuan clearly in front of Zhu Yuan.
"Marquis Zhu Yu, do you dare to sneak back to Xuzhou City to contact the conscientious generals in Wuning Town? Tell them that as long as the Duke of Yuyang is released, the saint can forget the past."
Although Zhu Yuanren looked rough, he was not brainless. He asked slowly: "Duke Wei, when the saint issued the edict, didn't you know that Li Yuan was waiting for the thieves to loot the Xuzhou Mansion?"
Li Cunhui nodded, "The saint really didn't know. If he knew, he would never forgive the people in Wuning Town.
So you can tell Li Yuanzai and others that this is the last chance. If the saint learns what they have done in Xuzhou, the next edict will be to exterminate them."
There was still some hesitation on Zhu Yuan's face. He thought for a moment, looked at Li Cunhui and asked: "Duke Wei, I dare to ask, is the saint really willing to pardon the people of Wuning Town?"
Li Cunhui blew out two streams of white air from his nose. He looked at Yuhou, the capital of Wuning Town, and asked slowly: "What's true? So what if it's false?"
Zhu Yuan chuckled, "If the saint is really willing to forgive them, I have no idea whether this can be done.
Because they can be pardoned in this way, doesn't it seem that it is worthless for a servant to escape regardless of his life?
If it is false, I would be willing to go to Xuzhou City and risk my life, because that would be worth it."
"You are really a killer!" Li Cunhui laughed, not sure whether he was praising or derogating.
"Go ahead. If you can come back alive, you can stay with a certain family in the future. There is still a future for you as a close military general.
When they came, Concubine Cao De and Princess Baoding also sent someone to tell a certain family that whoever rescued Duke Yuyang could choose one of the manor by the Bian River and 20,000 gold and silver."
After finishing speaking, Li Cunhui blinked and said, "Perhaps you have done a good job. Commander of the Jinyi Guards, the Jiaocheng County Guild will do you a big favor."
Zhu Yuan was overjoyed, nodded excitedly, turned around and went out to prepare.
