Zhu Ruiyao was walking on the corridor, looking back at his small palace, and said without nostalgia to the Fu Cheng who was walking behind him: "The walls of Lizhou are short and small. If the rebels attack, they may not be able to withstand them.
Let’s leave as soon as possible!”
Li Fucheng, who had a goatee and a beard, immediately advised: "Absolutely not, your lord, think twice."
Zhu Ruiyao stood still and turned around. Li Fucheng stepped forward and lowered his voice and whispered: "First, the country has laws and regulations, and the vassal king cannot leave the fief without permission; second, although the matter at hand is urgent, the prince
He was demoted to Lizhou. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he should act cautiously. Therefore, I believe that leaving Lizhou lightly is not the best choice."
"What should we do if the rebels break into the city?" Zhu Ruiyao frowned.
Li Fucheng said: "Two ways, first of all, didn't we repair the book and go to the Huguang Dusi to report it? The local Dusi should come up with a way soon; secondly, the prince only needs to send out the palace guards and keep an eye on all the intersections in the south.
If you see the rebel troops heading north, come back immediately to report the news, and we will still have time to leave by then."
Zhu Ruiyao took a few steps, flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "I am originally in the Shu Palace in Chengdu, why should I be worried in this remote place!"
Although he was scolding, he did not reject Li Fucheng's suggestion. Li Fucheng also knew what to do. Zhu Ruiyao should also understand that Li Fucheng's suggestion was the better way. Leaving Fandi easily would indeed have a bad impact.
, it is easy to tell people the truth, and it will also cause a bad reputation.
…
The Huguang Capital Commandery Department is located in Wuchang Prefecture. Although it is hundreds of miles away from Shimen County, urgent military reports can be sent very quickly. Military reports from all over the west of Dongting Lake can be delivered in one day and one night at most. Commander Chang Xiaolian
We received news from all parties one after another, and informed the three divisions while formulating countermeasures.
First, the government officials sent from Shimen County to Yuezhou Prefecture to report the emergency were sent to Yuezhou Prefecture, saying that there were one or two hundred rebels with unknown origins attacking the city; then Yuezhou Prefecture confirmed that "the rebels were unstoppable and fell into Shimen County."
Based on the information, the Wuchang Dusi believed that the number of rebels attacking Shimen County did not exceed 500. At first, they wanted to inform the Huguang Third Division to order the Yuezhou Prefecture to mobilize troops to recover Shimen County.
But soon Dusi got another extremely important information. The rebels who attacked Shimen County were related to an "evil sect", and that sect involved the remnants of Jianwen. It turned out that the factory guard was responsible for the case, and the people who came from the factory guard
It was in Changde Mansion. The capital commander Chang Xiaolian felt that this matter was a bit complicated and it was not convenient to intervene rashly. Then he decided to report the emergency to the Ministry of War first and leave the matter to the Ministry of War for decision.
The matter was not over yet, and soon King Huayang of Lizhou sent someone to ask for help again.
The people from the Capital Command Envoy Office looked at the topographic map and saw that Lizhou is indeed adjacent to Shimen County, and it is along the river from Shimen to Lizhou. If the rebels go down the river, they can easily attack the city of Lizhou.
.
Everyone was unwilling to express their position. After all, it was about the vassal king, and no one wanted to take this responsibility. However, someone next to them recounted the bad incident of King Huayang seizing the legitimate son when he was in the palace of the King of Shu. Everyone pointed to Chang Xiaolian.
Coming up with this idea, Chang Xiaolian was stroking his chin and thinking about something, but did not express his position immediately.
What do the people around me mean when they say that King Huayang was demoted to Lizhou after he had his legitimate son? Chang Xiaolian thought: They didn’t want to care about King Huayang at first, but they want to encourage me to take this responsibility?
Although Chang Xiaolian was in charge of military affairs, he was also a member of the officialdom. He knew many twists and turns. After a long time, he said thoughtfully: "After all, King Huayang is a relative of the emperor. What if something happens?"
, saying that our rescue is not effective, this is not an easy matter in any case... The one closest to Lizhou and able to mobilize troops is Jiuxi Guard. How can we encircle and suppress Lizhou if we don't let Jiuxi Guard mobilize troops first?
Or do you mean to wait for the Ministry of War?"
The commander Qian Shi carefully reminded: "If the military station orders Jiuxi Guards to mobilize troops to Lizhou, firstly, they will not be able to respond to the closer Cili County; secondly, when the Ministry of War sends people to coordinate the troops, Jiuxi Guards'
When the soldiers and horses went to Lizhou, they lost the good situation of being surrounded on all sides and opened two holes for the rebels..."
Chang Xiaolian immediately asked, "What does Zhang Qianshi mean by telling Jiuxi Guards to stand still and ignore Lizhou first?"
"No, no..." Commander Qianshi quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Xiaoguan didn't say that. Everyone has heard it. How has Xiaguan ever said that? Xiaguan is just a pragmatic reminder of the overall situation.
, shouldn't it be up to the military platform to decide how to weigh the pros and cons..."
Another official also echoed in muddying the waters to show his sense of presence: "What Zhang Qian said makes sense, but the military base also has to consider many aspects. If we stand still, we will naturally be surrounded on all sides, but Lizhou's defense is fragile.
, King Huayang is in a dangerous situation; if the Jiuxi guards are transferred to Lizhou, then when the rebels in Shimen County are dealt with, if the rebels want to escape, it will be difficult to surround them. This is indeed a bit difficult.
Difficult."
Suddenly, a bearded man with a beard said angrily: "What's so embarrassing? Shimen County said there were only a few hundred people. Three orders were immediately given to Jiuxi Guards, Yongding Guards, and Changde Prefecture.
With a force of troops and horses, attacking from three sides to regain the lost territory, what can the rebels do? Under the combined attack from three sides, they still dare to attack Lizhou temporarily! The rebels have no grudge against King Huayang, so why risk their lives to attack the city?"
Chang Xiaolian turned around and looked at the bearded man, frowned and said, "Who is this?"
An old official hurriedly scolded: "Listen carefully, do you have the right to speak here? With the methods you can think of, what can the adults think of?"
After hearing this, everyone was too lazy to talk to the bearded man.
At this moment, an official rushed in and said a few words in Commander Chang's ear. Commander Chang said: "Ask someone to send the letter in." The official went out and called the messenger in.
Commander Chang got the letter, read it over and handed it to Zhang Qianshi. He looked back and said: "King Huayang sent someone to report the situation again. He said that there were rebels on the shore of Lishui who were requisitioning ships and that they might have to take the waterway to attack Lizhou.
"
"Following the water route, sending troops from Shimen County to Lizhou will indeed save effort by taking the water route." One person said.
"We have to save him!" Commander Chang sighed and said, "Let's protect King Huayang first. The people from the military headquarters have their own way of recovering the lost territory. Besides, the background of the rebels is complicated and it is not convenient for us to intervene."
"Please ask the military platform to make a decision." Everyone said in salute.
Commander Chang patted the big case lightly and said: "Order the Jiuxi Guards to select available soldiers and horses and rush to Lizhou to garrison as soon as possible without any loss. In addition, write a reply to King Huayang and ask Huayang to
Please rest assured, Mr. Wang, we are deploying Jiuxi guards and horses to defend Lizhou to ensure that Lizhou and the palace are safe."
