Chapter 95: titmouse behind

  Chapter 95 The oriole is behind

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

  The soldiers on all sides cheered and thundered.

  Qin Lang felt that it was a bit boring. He was not Wang Junkuo's opponent in terms of ability. He just picked up a head. Wang Junkuo was already seriously injured and exhausted.

   Dou Hongxian looked at the head, and cried out in pain. This was the 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 thorn, the blood stains fell off, retracted the thorn, and ordered to go to the Governor's Mansion.

  Datang Wude ninth year, June 17th, Youzhou.

  The city was already in chaos.

  Wang Junkuo and his son led 500 soldiers each to attack Su Lie and Wang Shen first. Unexpectedly, Wang Junkuo was killed by Qin Lang.

  Qin Lang was the first to mobilize soldiers and horses from outside the city to enter the city, but Wang Junkuo's confidantes also led troops into the city later.

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

  Wang Yongan took advantage of the momentum of beheading Wang Shen, and fought with the father-in-law Li Yuan. Wang Yongan 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 Yongan 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 alive for trial, lest his schemes be exposed.

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

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

  Wang Yongan just gave a merciless mockery when Li Yuan looked up, his eyes were turned up, his tongue was sticking out, and he was dying.

   "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 use his status as an imperial envoy to clean up the chaos in Youzhou.

   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 overly 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 ambush archers know that this is a big man, and they all shot arrows at him.

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

  Man is a blood man, and a horse is a blood horse.

  Cheng Mingzhen came out with a spear himself.

  Hundreds of soldiers from Youzhou fell in half in an instant, and they were charged again 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 weapons, those who surrender, will not die!"

  Wang Junkuo, Wang Yongan, father and son both 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.

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

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

  Finally, someone threw the weapon on 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?"

  Yeah, what happened, 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 one head after another.

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

   Now that the most important people have been killed, what is needed is to quickly quell the chaos.

   "We need an explanation!"

  Qin Lang said to Wei Zhengdao.

  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 would not be good, after all, according to this, Wang Junkuo is not rebellious, and 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 lost Jingzhou carelessly. He didn't expect that the official and Cheng Dudu came prepared and were 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.

   "Is this not true?"

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 give a detailed account of what happened to His Royal Highness Prince Ming."

  Showing one set of rhetoric, behind another set of rhetoric, Wei Zheng didn't like this kind of practice in his heart, thinking that one is one and two is two, but what Qin Lang said was 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.

  Qin Lang sent people to control the various gates, governor's office, warehouses, prisons, etc., and sent people to patrol and guard the neighborhoods in the city.

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

  The 5,000 troops 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 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 big and small 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 smiled and asked for the reward.

   "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 Li Yuan fell in love with him. 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.
