Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 192
"What way?" Liu De asked quickly.

"Ambush in the direction leading to the state capital, and destroy the officers and soldiers who came to support!"

Xun Yu affirmed: "My lord, Chenliu is a big city with high heights and deep pools, sufficient reserves of food, grass and water, protected by a moat, and is not afraid of the long-term siege of the Bodhisattva army, so the only way to destroy the reinforcements from the state capital is to destroy them." Only then can Chen Liucheng be truly deterred and forced to surrender."

"Sir, what you said is true, so if that's the case, we'll go into the city first, and we'll talk about it when we see the prefect Chenliu!" Liu De nodded.

"Yes!"

"Who is under the city? Leave quickly, or we will shoot arrows!"

The guard at the top of Chenliu City saw Liu De and his party coming. Although more than [-] people were riding tall horses and fully armored, there were two carriages behind them, so the guard thought they wanted to enter the city, so he threatened them.

Dai Zong received Liu De's order, held a white flag in his hand, came to the city, and shouted loudly: "I am the captain of General Anbei of the Great Zhou Dynasty. General Anbei is here, please report quickly!" Holding the seal of General Anbei in one hand.

"General Anbei? There is General Anbei in Dazhou now?" the guard at the top of the city asked suspiciously, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and shouted at Dai Zong: "Wait a minute, I'll notify Lord Lieutenant!" After shouting, he hurriedly went down the city.

Chen Liucheng, government office.

"No, Commander Zheng, I don't agree with your opinion! Now that the prefect is captured, the first thing is to rescue the prefect Xiang. If a small demon is changed, he will be changed. Otherwise, they will be forced to rush. The prefect Xiang must be a little bit Hurt, can you bear the responsibility?" An official shouted angrily.

"Boss Niu, do you think I don't want to save the prefect? ​​The thief is cunning and changeable. If something happens during the exchange and the prefect fails to snatch it back, can you bear the responsibility?" Zheng Junwei was not to be outdone, The tough tone directly sent anchor Niu back!

"You..." Master Niu pointed at Zheng Junwei's nose and wanted to curse.

A person behind hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded him in a good voice: "Master Niu, that demon is obviously a high-level enemy, otherwise he would not be so mobilizing. As long as he is in our hands, the thief will not dare to hurt the prefect." , now that the Bodhisattva Sect has rebelled, and our messengers have already been dispatched to the state capital. The army of the state capital will arrive in a few days. When that time comes, they will attack from front to back, and under the combination of inside and outside, the thieves will be defeated at the first touch. By then, the prefect will return safely .”

Of course Master Niu could hear what he meant, and immediately became furious, cursing: "[Nie Jing], you are killing Mr. Xiang!"

It is well known that the prefect and the county lieutenant are not on good terms. A few days ago, the prefect went out of the city to inspect the counties. It was a normal inspection, so the prefect didn't bring too many guards.Unexpectedly, there was news that the prefect was captured. Chen stayed in peace for a long time, and the county soldiers only had more than [-] people. They had no choice but to recruit the people in the city and the nearby young and strong to defend the city. About [-] young and strong were recruited to participate in the defense. city, and evacuate the people in nearby villages.Fortunately, the Bodhisattva's army was not strict in military discipline and marched slowly, which gave Chenliu officials time to deploy city defenses.

I thought the prefect had already been killed, but I didn't expect the thieves to send soldiers to tell them that they didn't want to attack the city at all, and exchanged the prefect for the demon [Zhang Bin] who was still in prison. This was beyond everyone's expectations , especially Lord Lieutenant's reaction was even more intense.

This was the reason for the quarrel just now. What Nie Jing said was that he would not save the magistrate Xiang, and even wanted the magistrate to be killed by the thieves, so that Zheng Junwei could monopolize Chen Liu's power.He even went a step further and served as the prefect of Chenliu.

Master Niu could not let them do what they wished, but it is a pity that his power is weak, Mr. Xiang took most of the cronies in the city with him when he left the city, and now I am afraid.
There is basically no one to rely on here, Master Niu clenched his fists, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the fourth son of the Li family who was sitting silently on the side.

Mr. Li is the son of Sima Li Zhen. The Li family is deeply rooted in Chenliu, and only Mr. Li can suppress the Commander Zheng and rescue the prefect. Besides, Mr. Li Yun and Mr. Xiang are on good terms, so Mr. Li will not see death Can't help.

Of course, Li Lei saw Master Niu's eyes and sighed softly. Now the four men from the Li House, the Han House, the Ding House, and the Su House all went to Lingzhou with his elder brother, and now he is the only one left here to take charge of the overall situation. , It's a pity that he is a little bit powerless, Li Lei only now knows how difficult it is for his brother.

I didn't want to care about the power between them, but now that the enemy is now, and Xiang Taishou is on good terms with his elder brother, the Li family inevitably favors Xiang Taishou. In my hands, although I am the son of Li Zhen, I am not the father or elder brother after all, so I am afraid I cannot force Captain Zheng to make concessions.

But if Governor Xiang was not rescued, Commander Zheng would definitely control Chen Liu's power and support the family loyal to him. At that time, the Li family's interests in Chen Liu City would be damaged, which Li Lei did not want to see.

Li Lei stood up, bowed his hands to everyone, and said: "My lords, the boy is being polite here. I think that the prefect should be replaced. The prefect is an important minister of the court. If he is harmed by a thief, wouldn't it be a shame for the court?" ? When the imperial court blames it, everyone sitting here may not be able to get away with it."

"I very much agree with Mr. Li's suggestion. Mr. Xiang has served as the prefect of Chenliu for several years, and he is quite popular among the people. If the prefect can be replaced, the people in the city will be stable and the soldiers will be encouraged!" Master Niu also added on the side.

The other officials sitting in the lobby were also discussing and whispering to each other. Zheng Junwei sat on the main seat, his face was ashen, quite unswerving.

"Report!"

The city gate guard came to the lobby and reported to Zheng Junwei: "My lord, there is a person outside the west city called General Anbei, who is now outside the city. The last general dare not make decisions, so please show me!"

Commander Zheng suddenly stood up and muttered, "General Anbei."

"General Anbei, could it be the Anbei General Liu De who killed Cao Sui!" an official exclaimed.

"It was him!" The other officials also exclaimed. After all, the beheading of Cao Sui was too appalling. When Cao Sui was at its most powerful, Li Zhen and Chen He could not fight together, but they were so tyrannical. Cao Sui was killed by Liu De in this way!
Liu De didn't come out of the capital quickly, so the court's recruiters quickly passed the news to Chenliu, and with the passage of time, passed it to other parts of Dazhou.

The edict clearly stated that Cao Sui was a traitor who attempted to mutiny, so he was killed, and Cao Sui's other cronies were also killed.However, the edict also pardoned local officials who were involved with Cao Sui. After all, the involvement was too extensive, and the Great Zhou court's control over other states was getting weaker and weaker. If they had to be held accountable, cholera might happen.

Moreover, basically the local officials are all descendants of aristocratic families, and their roots are intertwined. Ji Yuanwu was secretly happy that he could kill Cao Sui, so Ji Yuanwu could only hold his nose and basically pardon the local officials. Those who did not pardon were just symbols. Three years of sexual punishment and salary, for officials, three years of fine salary is not painful at all, who really lives on salary.

However, Ji Yuanwu will never pardon Cao Sui's clan, except to send Huangfuyi to guard [Ganping] to guard against Xizhou State Shepherd [Cao Zhuo], and then send a fast horse to send an order to Dongzhou State Shepherd to arrest all Cao's. Escorted to the capital for execution.
