"Guanyin, please don't be impatient!"
In the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, in the Li Zheng Palace, Li Er stepped forward to help Queen Changsun sit down again, and then said softly: "Taiyuan is not a frontier. Even if there is a small plot in the city, it will not be possible! Now the four gates of Taiyuan City are closed. With the full protection of the imperial army and state capital troops, Qingque will definitely be fine! Unless the opponent directly leads an army to attack the city, but how is that possible
Once Taiyuan City is attacked, soldiers and horses from the surrounding states will definitely go to support as soon as possible! Moreover, yesterday, I had already sent Li Junxian to lead a team of elite hundred cavalry to Taiyuan. Calculating the time, he should be not far from Taiyuan now! As long as he is here, no one can touch Qingque! Guanyin, please feel at ease! "
Yesterday, when Li Er sent someone to send a telegram to Li Tai, he summoned Li Junxian and asked the latter to lead a team of hundreds of elite cavalry and rush to Taiyuan City to protect Li Tai's safety. If they are fast enough, they should be able to reach Taiyuan City before dark today!
Baiqi is the most elite secret force among Li Erqi. Everyone in it is one of the best soldiers in the army. Li Junxian, the commander of Baiqi, is both civil and military and resourceful. He defeated the Tianlong Sect in the first place. "Undercover" Li Junxian has made considerable contributions. With him protecting Li Tai, Li Er is absolutely assured of Li Tai's safety!
"Baiqi? Li Junxian?"
After listening to Li Er's soft words of comfort for a long time, Empress Changsun felt a little better, and her breathing gradually became calmer. She sat up straight at this time, looked at Li Er and said: "Do you really mean what your majesty said? Is Li Junxian really leading Baiqi Kuai?" Have you arrived in Taiyuan?"
Obviously, Empress Changsun had heard of Li Junxian and was very assured of the latter's personal abilities.
Li Er patted Empress Changsun on the back and chuckled: "Haha~! How can this be false? Besides, when have I ever deceived you? Just rest assured and stop thinking nonsense! I promise you, Qing Nothing will happen to the bird!"
"Um!"
Empress Changsun leaned her head on Li Er's arms and said with a soft "hmm".
The unequivocal promise of the man in front of her gave her a great sense of security, and her originally anxious heart finally calmed down.
"... If Marquis Yong'an can be by Qingque's side, then I will really feel relieved!"
Empress Changsun nestled in Li Er's arms, but such an idea came to her mind for no reason.
Although Li Junxian is strong, his personal strength is still much inferior to that of Li Zexuan. After all, Li Zexuan was the one who escaped with his life in the hands of Wu Jie, the best master in the world! Moreover, since his debut, Li Zexuan has not only made extraordinary achievements many times, but has also saved the day in desperate situations many times. His life is like a cheat!
This is a man of destiny with his own risk-avoiding attributes!
As a mother, Queen Changsun certainly hopes that the strongest person can protect her son; but as a queen, Queen Changsun is unwilling to "use public weapons for private use" at this time, because at this time Li Zexuan is training the Xuanjia Army, and Soon after, there was a national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. The Xuanjia Army was the strongest trump card in Li's second hand. Queen Changsun was unwilling to affect the training of the Xuanjia Army because of her own affairs, thus affecting the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. The outcome of the national war!
Therefore, although she thought so in her heart, Queen Changsun did not speak to Li Er.
… … … … … … …
At the same time, in the north of Taiyuan City, there was the Bingzhou camp.
Wang Liaoyuan carried the imperial edict in the form of a telegram and went directly to Fang Gongteng's camp. He first told Fang Gongteng about the two assassinations that occurred in the city today, and then proposed to mobilize troops from the Bingzhou camp to search for the assassins. And maintain law and order in the city!
"Fang joins the army. I know that there are military rules in the army. Without the governor's order or the imperial decree to mobilize troops, no one has the right to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou camp. But you should be able to feel that the situation in the city is extremely critical now. Even the company They all dare to assassinate General Dugu. Who can guarantee that their next target will not be King Wei
Once King Wei makes even the slightest mistake in Taiyuan City, no one can bear the wrath of His Majesty's thunder! Although the imperial edict held by me today does not have a seal, and it is not worthy of the imperial edict to mobilize troops, I still hope that Fang Jianjun will be able to clear up his seriousness! Don't put King Wei in danger just because of the formality! "
In the camp, Wang Liaoyuan handed the telegram in his hand to Wang Liaoyuan, and then said with a serious face.
His words can be said to be sincere, and Fang Gongteng is not an unreasonable person, but the matter of troop deployment is of great importance after all, and even if he believes that the imperial edict in Wang Liaoyuan's hand is true and is willing to mobilize troops, the rest of the army will The general may not be willing to believe it!
"Prince Wang, it's not that someone on our side is just a formality or ignorant of the truth. It's just that this imperial edict is for promotion and appointment, and for moving troops out of the camp. In fact, it has a very important relationship. In the end, the general will only join the army. In this way, he will be promoted first, and then troops will be transferred into the city. , I might not be able to convince the public!"
After pondering for a moment, Fang Gongteng hugged Wang Liaoyuan with an embarrassed look on his face and said.
After all, Fang Gongteng is just joining the army now. If he is promoted to captain based on the telegram in Wang Liaoyuan's hand, there will inevitably be some discordant voices in the army, because not long ago, the Bingzhou camp intercepted the Turkic army at Yanmen Pass, and the original capital After Lieutenant Xu Tingda died in Yanmen Pass, many generals in the Bingzhou camp were eyeing the post of Captain!
If Fang Gongteng was promoted to captain in such an unconventional way, it would be hard to convince the public!
Wang Liaoyuan frowned slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he added: "Fang Shenjun, you don't know something. The last time Yong'an Marquis came to Bingzhou camp to mobilize troops, he didn't have an imperial decree in his hand at first. They are the same telegrams that I am holding now! Fortunately, the imperial court transmitted the imperial edict to Taiyuan in time through the Wang family's carrier pigeon. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be like you and refuse to mobilize troops!
Now that the situation is urgent, the Holy Father once again conveyed the decree by telegram and carrier pigeon. What reason do you and I have to resist the decree and not send troops again? Moreover, according to King Wei, the real holy edict will be transported to Taiyuan again via the Wang family's carrier pigeon this afternoon. If you and I knew clearly that the holy edict was issued but did not send troops in advance, thereby allowing the bad guys to take advantage of it, your majesty would Neither you nor I can afford to pursue it! "
Wang Liaoyuan's meaning is very simple. If the imperial edict sent by Li Er in the form of a telegram is sent to other places, the officials in other places will naturally have reasons not to believe it, because they have not seen it before, but now this imperial edict is sent to other places. When they arrived in Taiyuan City, they had no reason not to believe it, because the same situation had happened last time!
Fang Gongteng was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and said: "Since the Marquis used this method to mobilize his troops last time, then naturally I have no reason to refuse now. How about this, I will summon all the soldiers in the army, and you, the Governor, will Come and read out the imperial edict, but please just read out the imperial edict for the transfer of troops for the time being. As for the temporary transfer of the imperial edict to the commander-in-chief, it is better to wait until the official edict comes and then announce it to the soldiers!
Anyway, your main purpose now, Governor Wang, is to mobilize troops into the city. Moreover, most of the soldiers in our Bingzhou camp participated in the last attack on the Turks in the north. You only need to tell the truth to the soldiers how Yong'an Hou mobilized troops last time. Listen, the general will believe that none of the soldiers will dare to disobey! "
This may not be a compromise. Now the Bingzhou camp is leaderless. Although Fang Gongteng is the most prestigious one, there are many generals who are comparable to him. If he is directly promoted to Bingzhou Captain in this abnormal way at this time, , will inevitably cause some people to be dissatisfied. Instead of doing this, it would be better to mobilize the troops first, and then read out the imperial edict promoting him to captain once the official edict arrives.
This minimizes variables!
With Wang Liaoyuan's authority and his prestige in the Bingzhou camp, Fang Gongteng believed that it would be easy to achieve his goal if he just mobilized troops based on imperial decree.
Wang Liaoyuan's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Okay! Then I will join the army!"
Fang Gongteng was right. The purpose of his trip to the military camp was just to mobilize troops. As for the power struggle in the army, he was not interested and did not dare to be interested, because Bingzhou was different from other places. The military power here belonged to Most of them are in charge and have nothing to do with the governor!
"You're welcome, Governor Wang! Then go and summon the soldiers to assemble!"
Fang Gongteng stood up and cupped his fists.
"good!"
Fang Gong vacated the camp and immediately ordered the soldiers of the three armies to gather at the Dianjiangtai. As he had expected, he took out the imperial edict in the form of a telegram at Wang Liaoyuan and explained to the generals that Li Zexuan used the same process to mobilize troops at the Bingzhou camp last time. Afterwards, all the soldiers were convinced of the authenticity of the content of the imperial edict, especially the soldiers who accompanied Li Zexuan in the fight against the Witch Tribulation and the Turkic Wolf Cavalry last time!
In this way, the deployment of troops will be a matter of course!
At the same moment, 10,000 troops filed out from the Bingzhou camp. Under the leadership of Fang Gongteng, these 10,000 soldiers entered the main city of Taiyuan and began to search for weapons and people with suspicious identities in various private houses and streets!
The three forces, the state government officials, the Wang family secret guards, and the Bingzhou camp soldiers, gathered in one city. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the city was unprecedentedly tense. A huge invisible sky net was cast over Taiyuan City, as if to let the people lurking in the dark There is no escape from the power!
At three o'clock in the morning, in the prison of Bingzhou Prefecture, four people representing various forces, Wang Liaoyuan, Dugu Feiying, Li Tai, and Wang Yu, were jointly interrogating Zhu Xiesheng!
In fact, as Prince Li Tai, it is not suitable for him to enter the prison, because most of the ancients were superstitious, and the prison was full of negative energy, which was unlucky. Before entering, Wang Liaoyuan actually advised Li Tai, but Li Tai Eager to know the truth of the matter and insisting on following up, there is nothing anyone can do!
