Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 95
Ah Huang stepped forward with a knife and cut off Wang Junkuo's head with one blow. He held his hair up high and showed it to the soldiers.

The soldiers on all sides cheered and thundered.

However, Qin Lang felt a little dull. In terms of ability, he was no match for Wang Junkuo. He just picked up a head. Wang Junkuo was already seriously injured and exhausted.

Dou Hongxian looked at the head, crying out in pain, it was a cry of joy after a big revenge was avenged.

Wei Zheng squeezed in front of Qin Lang, glanced at Wang Junkuo's head, "Now is not the time to cheer, although Wang Junkuo is gone, but there is still Li Yuan, please Sicheng immediately lead troops to attack the Dudu's mansion, capture the traitor Li Yuan, hurry up Pacify Youzhou."

Qin Lang nodded, flicked the awl, the blood stains fell off, retracted the awl, and ordered to go to the Governor's Mansion.

In the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, June [-]th, Youzhou.

The city was already in chaos.

Wang Junkuo and his son led [-] soldiers each to preemptively attack Su Lie and Wang Shen, but Wang Junkuo was executed by Qin Lang instead. On the other hand, Wang Shen was killed, and Li Yuan led the guards to arrive, and joined forces with Wang Yongan.

Qin Lang was the first to mobilize troops from outside the city to enter the city, but later on Wang Junkuo's confidants also led troops into the city.

There were shouts of killing everywhere, and cavalry and infantry rushed back and forth.

Taking advantage of the momentum of beheading Wang Shen, Wang Yong'an fought the old man Li Yuan. Wang Yong'an asked people to hold Wang Shen's head high with a spear, and persuaded Li Yuan to join the army.Li Yuan's personal soldiers were outnumbered, and they were no match for Youzhou's fierce soldiers. Seeing that Wang Shen was also killed, many people wavered and broke up.

Wang Yongan took advantage of the situation and led his army to attack and kill Li Yuan. Li Yuan was defeated and executed.

"Bah!" Facing his son-in-law's knife, Li Yuan spat viciously on his face.

"Old bastard, court death!"

Wang Yong'an had already received Wang Junkuo's confession that he would kill Li Yuan as soon as he was caught, and he must not be allowed to go to Chang'an for trial alive, lest his schemes be revealed.

"Old man, miss you and my son-in-law, and I will give you a whole body today!"

Wang Yongan took out a spare bowstring, asked someone to hold down Li Yuan's hands and feet, and then strangled Li Yuan himself.

Seeing Li Yuan's eyes rolled up, his tongue sticking out, and his unrepentant expression, Wang Yong'an just gave a merciless mockery.

"Go, follow me to prison!"

Going to the prison to release Cui Dunli is part of Wang Junkuo's plan. After killing Li Yuan, Wang Shen, and Su Lie, he will invite Cui Dunli to clean up the chaos in Youzhou as an imperial envoy.

A large group of Youzhou soldiers took Li Yuan's body, and Wang Shen set off with his head.

Just turning a street corner, suddenly countless arrows fell from the opposite side.

The Youzhou soldiers in the front row fell down one after another.

Wang Yongan was too proud, riding an extremely handsome war horse, and the armor on his body was very dazzling, a piece of armor inlaid with gold and silver and scarlet red, and a very long pheasant tail was inserted on the top of the helmet.

This attire let all the ambushing archers know that this is a big man, and they all shot arrows at him.

Wang Yongan was instantly shot into a hedgehog by his men and horses.

People are blood people, and horses are blood horses.

Cheng Mingzhen personally charged out with a lance.

More than half of the hundreds of Youzhou soldiers fell down in an instant, and they were charged and killed by Mingzhou soldiers led by Cheng Mingzhen, so they were defeated.

Qin Lang appeared, and Ah Huang behind him was holding Wang Junkuo's head.

"Those who kneel down and abandon their weapons, those who surrender, will not die!"

Both Wang Junkuo and Wang Yongan's father and son died, and the Youzhou Military Academy who survived the raid were at a loss. They thought that the ambush was Li Yuan's people, but they were Zhenfu Sicheng Qin Lang and Mingzhou Governor Cheng Mingzhen.

The silver-faced Wei Tuo Qin Yong slammed the dragon stick in his hand, smashing the brains of a military academy who was standing there.

"Those who resist die, those who surrender live!"

Finally, someone threw the weapon to the ground, and honestly lay down on the ground to ask for surrender.

A Youzhou soldier was lying on the ground, and said to his companion who was also lying down next to him, "What's going on?"

That's right, what's going on, why did the general lead a team to raid Su Lie but was beheaded?Wasn't Cheng Mingzhen killed by Su Lie long ago?
Today, who is the cat and who is the mouse?
Lin San and Liu Jiu came over with Wang Yongan's head and the other Wang Shen's head.

"Wang Shen was beheaded by Wang Yongan, Li Yuan was strangled to death by Wang Yongan, and now Wang Yongan is being executed again. This is really a mess!"

Qin Lang looked at the heads one after another.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, but it doesn't expect the oriole to follow.

Now that the most important characters have been killed, what is needed is to quickly put down the chaos.

"We need an explanation!"

Qin Lang said to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng nodded, he really needs to establish his personality, what is going on with the Youzhou Rebellion today.

Li Yuan rebelled together with Wang Junkuo and Wang Shen, but why did internal strife happen again?

It is necessary to unify the caliber and announce it in time, and it must also be reported to the court.

"Wang Junkuo and Li Yuan are in conflict?" Wei Zheng asked.

Qin Lang went through it quickly in his mind, and felt that the simple internal strife was unreasonable and difficult to explain.

And if everything is reported truthfully, that's not too good, after all, according to this, Wang Junkuo is not rebellious, he wants to quell the chaos anyway.

"Old Wei, let's take a look. The beginning of this matter is that the crown prince got a report from several governors and governors in Hebei, saying that Li Yuan was going to rebel, so the crown prince sent me to Hebei to investigate... Li Yuan dragged his in-laws, Wang Junkuo, to rebel together, and recruited the former Ministry of Hebei Dou Liu, and Wang Shen, the former Ministry of King Yan, to rebel together. Wang Shishi was loyal to the court and the prince, and on the surface he agreed, but in fact he had been planning to do it anyway. We in Youzhou hit it off right away. It’s a pity that the matter was not confidential, and it was discovered by Wang Junkuo, so Wang Junkuo preemptively led the soldiers to attack Wang Shen and us... Wang Shishi was unyielding and was killed, and Li Yuan was killed because Wang Junkuo did not report first So they directly dispatched troops to kill the general Wang Shen, and mistakenly thought that Wang Junkuo was going to rebel, so he led his personal guards to go there, but a misunderstanding occurred and he was killed by Wang Yongan."

"As for Wang Junkuo, he missed Jingzhou carelessly. He didn't expect this official and Dudu Cheng to come prepared and was killed."

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment after hearing Qin Lang's words.

Wang Shen was a real traitor, but became a victim loyal to the court.

"It's not true, is it?"

Qin Lang pulled Wei Zheng over, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Now we have to start thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. Wang Shen is Li Yi's old department. Li Yi is now in Jingzhou, a powerful force, less than three hundred miles away from Chang'an. .And here in Hebei, there are still many former departments of Li Yi, so if we say this, it will not implicate Li Yi in Guanzhong, nor the old department of Luo Yi in Hebei, and it will not make people panic."

"Of course, I will report to His Royal Highness the Prince Ming exactly what happened."

One set of rhetoric is revealed, and another set of rhetoric is behind it. Wei Zheng doesn't like this kind of approach in his heart, thinking that one is one and two is two, but what Qin Lang said is also reasonable.Right now the key is to quell the chaos in Youzhou. Luo Yi has ruled the roost in Youzhou for many years. Although he was transferred to the court after Liu Heita was put down, many of his old ministries still hold important positions in Hebei. There are many Liu Shen and Zhang Shen.

"Si Cheng thinks long-term." Wei Zheng nodded, agreeing.

After setting the tone of the event, it will be easy to handle.

On the one hand, Qin Lang sent people to control various gates, governor's government offices, warehouses, prisons, etc., and on the other hand sent people to patrol and guard the neighborhoods in the city.

The rebels Li Yuan, Wang Junkuo and others were executed immediately, but the rest were not pursued.

The 5000 troops that Qin Lang brought with him at this time played a major role.And he characterized Wang Shen as a loyal minister who was loyal to the court and the prince and was always ready to kill King Li's rebels. Therefore, Wang Shen's subordinates were not held accountable.

The original Wang Shen's old department also expressed their loyalty to the imperial court to Qin Sicheng immediately, and Qin Lang also dispatched them to Cheng Mingzhen.

At this time, Su Lie and Dou Hongxian went to appease the former Hebei heroes who were summoned by Li Yuan, no matter whether they wanted to rebel or not, they would let the past go.

Qin Lang even asked Su Lie and Dou Hongxian to recruit those heroes in and out of Youzhou City, and even gave them some weapons and equipment to help them maintain law and order.

The most unlucky ones were Li Yuan, Wang Junkuo and their confidantes, they were identified as rebels, and of course their subordinates also became rebels.

Their weapons were confiscated and they were locked up in a prisoner camp. Hundreds of Li Wang's confidant officers were beheaded by Qin Lang directly outside the south gate, and then passed on to the camps, and finally hung their heads above the gates as a warning and deterrence .

Li Yuan, Wang Junkuo and other family members of the condemned rebels were also arrested and taken into custody, and their property and mansion were confiscated.

Everything is going well with the court.

Youzhou, a restless volcano, soon settled down.

The deaths of Wang Junkuo, Li Yuan, and Wang Shen caused all parties to lose their command, and many Youzhou soldiers were coerced by their superiors to rebel. The rascals harbored resentment towards Datang and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob him. Once Wang and Li died, they would become headless chickens. In addition, Su Lie and Dou Hongxian came forward to appease them, and they soon became sensible and honest.

When Qin Lang took the time to personally summon the leaders and heroes, and gave them some promises, these people were honest and even worked hard to help maintain order in Youzhou.

Only Wang Lishe was very angry. He never expected that Su Lie, who he regarded as his own, would stab him in the end. Seeing that Li Yuan and others were all killed, he knew that he would die, so he finally decided to kill him. hit the wall and died.

"Sanlang, Li Yuan is really beautiful to have a concubine, how about rewarding me?" Liu Jiu came to ask for the reward with a smile.

"Didn't I already order the residences of Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo to be sealed off?" Qin Lang frowned.

"That concubine was originally a businessman's wife, but later he fell in love with Li Yuan. He killed the businessman and forced her back to the mansion." Liu Jiu took a fancy to that woman and wanted it.

"If you don't want to die, don't think about it. We have made great achievements in suppressing the chaos. Don't end up being accused of crimes. Whether it is Li Yuan's wives and children, or Wang Junkuo's wives and children, they will all be sent to Chang'an for punishment. , you and I don't mess around." Qin Lang warned.
