Chapter 203 Introduction
Qin Lang put the sword in his left hand, and lifted Li Yi's head with his right hand.
He looked at this fierce man who was dying, "I respect you as a hero, but it's a pity you shouldn't rebel!"
What Li Yi should never have done was rebellion, let alone rebellion at this time. If he is smart, he should be a dead dog. As long as he persists, even if Li Shimin fears him, he will not be able to kill him for no reason. At most, he will be dismissed from office like Pei Ji.
Zhao Cihao looked at the bleeding head, a little dazed.
It seems that he can't believe that Li Yi, a fierce general of a generation, was beheaded and killed on the spot like this.
This is Li Yi. Not only is he a famous general since the previous dynasty, but he is also the king of Yan and the governor of Jingzhou. He is already a member of the royal family.
"Zhao Zhizhong!"
Zhao Cihao woke up with a start, "Duke Yi, the next official is here!"
"Follow me to recruit the rebels!"
Zhao Cihao said in shock, "Duke Yi, there are rebels outside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control them when they go out like this."
"Don't worry, everything is under control!" Qin Lang said confidently.
A red flag was raised in the backyard of Binzhou Prefecture Yamen. This red flag was raised so high that it could be seen from a distance.
Soon, red flags were raised at several places including the Dongcheng Gate Tower, South City Gate Tower, and North City Gate Tower in Binzhou, and fireworks were even set off in several places in the city.
Yang Jizao, the commander of Binzhou Commander's Mansion, led thousands of soldiers and stationed at the south gate and the north gate. When he saw the fireworks and the red flag rising in the distance, he immediately handed over the soldiers and horses to Qin Yong and Qin Yong, the two governors, according to the agreement. General division.
Silver-faced Wei Tuo Qin Yong and Master Sledgehammer Qin Yong each led five hundred soldiers from the two fronts.
At this time, the thousands of people under Li Yi’s hands were preparing to set up camp outside the west gate of Binzhou. Thousands of people were in disarray. Those who camped, those who fed the horses, those who cooked, those who fetched water, and those who collected firewood...
These people have long since unloaded their armor and thrown away their weapons. No one would have thought that they would fight again.
After all, except for Li Yi and a few of his confidantes who knew that this trip was a rebellion that killed their heads, most of the soldiers in Jingzhou believed that Li Yi took them to Chang'an to listen to the decree to get rid of the rebellion. Under Datang's own state city, how could it be possible to be attacked?
A thousand soldiers from Binzhou prefecture came around, but Jingzhou soldiers were still in a daze.
Qin Lang wears a helmet and armor, with a sword in one hand and Li Yiren's head in the other.
He walked out of the yamen hall, and all the elite of the hundred town governors came to listen to the order in full armor.
"Walk!"
In the backyard of the state government office, several of Li Yi's attendants were still drinking there.
Qin Lang kicked the door open and entered with the head in his hand.
"Li Yi has been punished for his rebellion, you will abandon your weapons and avoid death, and those who resist will die!"
Li Yi's head was held high.
Behind Qin Lang, there was a famous town Fusi elite, holding a sword and shield, or holding a bow and crossbow, all aimed at them.
Luo Yijia stretched out Zhao Jiu's hand to touch the knife at his waist.
Choo-swoosh several times.
The next moment, Zhao Jiu had already planted more than a dozen arrows and crossbows on his body.
Zhao Jiu fell to the ground and turned over the banquet.
"Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!" Qin Lang ordered again.
Seeing this posture, the few remaining people were sober from the wine and scared out of their wits.
A timid guy kneels directly.
Others finally came to their senses and knelt down to beg for mercy, not even daring to touch weapons.
"Tied!"
After picking up the team of Li Yi's personal soldiers, Qin Lang continued to hold the head, and escorted the Li Yi family's personal soldiers to the front of the Yamen.
Li Yi's head was thrown out by Qin Lang, and then a dozen or so unlucky Li Yi's family members were **** and pushed out.
Zhao Jiu's head was also thrown out.
Jingzhou Qingqi, who was chatting in Yaqian, was startled.
"My official Datang governor Qin Lang, kill the traitor Li Yi!"
"Li Yi pretended to be a secret decree and rebelled. Nian Er and others were coaxed and coerced by Li Yi. As long as they put down their weapons and knelt down to avoid death, if they dared to resist, they were all guilty of treason. If they are not pardoned, they will be executed!"
Normally speaking, it is actually quite dangerous for Qin Lang to do so.
However, his daring to do so was actually the result of careful consideration and calculation. Although Li Yi raised his army, he raised his army in Jingzhou after all. It was not his territory and the operation time was short. Moreover, this time he raised his army in a false order, and he deceived those generals in Jingzhou. Only a very small number of them conspired with him. Rebellious.
What's more, there are only a few hundred people in Yaqian in the city of Jingzhou.
Qin Lang held Li Yi's head, which had great deterrent effect.
He has the experience of quelling the chaos in Youzhou last time. He knows that under such circumstances, not to mention that most of Li Yi's soldiers were kept in the dark and didn't know about the rebellion. No, they all collapsed immediately.
In this case, compared with the normal battle on the battlefield, the difference is still too big.
This time, no one even touches the knife.
They saw Li Yi's head, they saw Zhao Jiu's head, they saw the bound soldiers of Li Yi's family, they looked at Qin Lang who was holding a big sword, and looked at the hundred armed men behind him. Zhen Fu Division elite.
The soldiers of the Zhenfu Division all wore bright armor and embroidered robes.
These Qingqi were originally fed by Li Yi in Jingzhou, but now that Li Yi is dead, who will work for him?
One person throws the knife, ten people throw the knife, and a hundred people throw the knife.
Qin Lang directly forced to land these people.
There were also about dozens of people. These people may have been deeply involved with Li Yi. After seeing this situation, they didn't raise their swords to step forward, but they didn't surrender. Instead, they shouted a few times and rushed out of the city together.
I don't know whether to escape or return to the army outside the city.
Qin Lang is not afraid.
He asked people to confiscate the weapons of these hundreds of Qingqi who had surrendered, and then locked these unarmed guys into the Yamen and sent someone to watch them.
Then he picked up Li Yi's head and led them to the west gate.
When he came to the west gate, Qin Lang realized that the Qingqi left by Li Yi had already fled without a trace, and successfully recaptured the west gate.
The Jingzhou military camp outside the west gate is in chaos at the moment.
Nearly 8,000 Jingzhou troops were brave, and under the attack of a thousand Binzhou troops, they collapsed without a fight.
Originally thought that there would be a battle, but in fact, when the Jingzhou army discovered that the Binzhou army had raided them, and heard Qin Yong and the others have been calling Li Yi to rebel, after the town governor ordered the thieves to be punished, no one fought.
Everyone is running.
Now outside the west gate of Binzhou, there are people fleeing everywhere.
"Send the order down, those who surrender will not die!"
Jingzhou soldiers bravely ran to Jingzhou along the way they came, Qin Lang also led Binzhou soldiers to Jingzhou to chase.
Fleeing all the way and chasing all the way, Jingzhou soldiers who could not escape along the way heard that many people simply surrendered after hearing that they would not die if they surrendered.
Three days later, Qin Lang sat in Anding City, Jingzhou City.
When Li Yi sent troops, he took away all the soldiers he could bring. There were no soldiers left to guard Jingzhou City, and he even took all his family members with him. resistance.
Those Jingzhou officials who stayed behind are still at a loss.
After hearing that Qin Lang sent troops to announce that Li Yi had been punished for rebellion, they still couldn't believe it.
"How to deal with those soldiers?"
In the prefectural office, everyone asked anxiously. These disturbed people were mainly Jingzhou officials. Although they did not follow to Chang'an, they also assisted Li Yi when he summoned soldiers in the name of reviewing. Li Yi claimed that After receiving the secret order to lead troops to Chang'an, they also helped prepare food and grass.
"All the officers will be dismissed on the spot, and will continue to be under house arrest in the city, waiting to be dealt with by the court. As for the soldiers, they were also coerced by deception, so there is no need to pursue them too much. Each will be rewarded with two buckets of food, and let them leave their armor Go home and tell them, honestly catch locusts at home to fight disasters, take care of the crops, don't have to think about it, they are just coerced by deception, and I will truthfully report all these to Your Majesty to excuse them. But if anyone dares to do anything wrong, secretly string around Lian, fanning the flames and wanting to take advantage of the chaos to loot, then I, Qin Lang, will show no mercy with my sword. Since I dare to cut Li Yi, let alone the others!"
Seven or eight thousand soldiers in Jingzhou were involved, and there were seven or eight thousand families in Jingzhou behind. cause unrest.
Since Li Yi's rebellion this time was nothing more than a farce, and nothing major happened in the end, so Qin Lang also boldly called the shots, and let these unlucky ghosts who have become rebellious without knowing the reason be lenient.
There are only a few dozen rebels who really conspired with Li Yi to rebel. All of these guys have been cleared up by the Governor, and now they are all in prison. If there is no accident, these guys will eventually be arrested. Take him to Chang'an and behead him as a warning to others.
Qin Lang's decision surprised and delighted the officials in Jingzhou. Since the soldiers didn't pursue it, they should be fine.
After making a decision, Qin Lang called the more than 7,000 Jingzhou soldiers and warriors who were temporarily surrounded for a meeting. After declaring a warning, Qin Lang first pulled a dozen or so traitors and beheaded them in public. Wei, and then began to distribute rewards.
One person has two buckets of food, and after receiving the food, leave the armor and go back to the hometown.
There was a military turmoil without even a bubble, and it was quelled in the end.
The memorial has been sent to Chang'an, and Qin Lang also dispatched thousands of troops from Yuanzhou, Binzhou, Qizhou, Ningzhou and other surrounding states to Jingzhou to strengthen the defense, just in case.
Chang'an.
In the dark, a rider ran three hundred miles from Binzhou in a day and night, changing horses at post stations along the way without changing people.
"Binzhou urgent report, Yan Wang Li Yi rebelled, the rebels have entered Binzhou..."
Cheng Menlang, the governor of Dangzhen Township, rushed to report, and Zhonglang received the report from Wu Heita, who was shocked, and hurriedly sent the urgent report to the imperial city himself.
The urgent report went straight to the Zhengshitang.
"Li Yi rebelled and entered Binzhou!"
The prime ministers on duty were taken aback, "Report to Your Majesty immediately!"
In the city of Chang'an, the news that Li Yi had sent troops to Chang'an did not go away. It was heard that Li Yi's army had entered Binzhou City, and the whole Chang'an was in riots.
Li Yi is good at fighting, and Binzhou is the west gate of Chang'an. Everyone began to worry that Li Yi's rebels would kill the city of Chang'an.
Eastern Palace.
Li Shimin received the emergency report from the servant, and was shocked when he saw that Li Yibing entered Binzhou at the beginning, but the more he looked back, the more surprised he became, and finally he couldn't help laughing.
"Your Majesty, Li Yi rebelled, why did Your Majesty laugh?" Dou Luwang, the supervisor in the palace, asked.
"Li Yi's rebellion has been put down, and Li Yi has also been beheaded." Li Shimin raised the urgent report in his hand, "Decree, take away Li Yi's surname and title of King Yan, restore his original surname, dismiss his official position, cut his food town, pass on The head of the capital, the owl in the city, the family is punished, and the family has no family!"
