Chapter 202: Kill the king
Chapter 202 Killing the King
"Zhao Cihao, in Binzhou's administration, pays homage to King Yan!"
In front of the west gate of Xinping City, Luo Yi led 8,000 troops to the city, and the team stretched for several miles. The king of Yan and Li Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, rode an iron horse, wearing armor and a long sword at his waist.
The only king with a different surname left in the Tang Dynasty now looks a little haggard.
"Where is your Majesty going to lead the troops, is there an imperial edict to transfer?"
Li Yi sat on the horse, condescendingly looking down at the emaciated Zhizhong, "This king received His Majesty's order, and ordered me to lead the troops to Chang'an to listen to the instructions."
"Your Majesty, may you have your Majesty's decree and the dispatch order of the Ministry of War, please show the customs seal letter." Zhao Cihao was not shocked by Li Yi, and still demanded the transfer order.
Li Yi glared angrily.
"Your Majesty wants to send me to lead troops to Chang'an to eliminate rebels and thieves. The matter is confidential, and the captain of Baiqi, Kuaima, is sent here secretly."
"Without the order of the Ministry of War to shut down and defend, the lower officials dare not let it go."
"Hmph, since you still want the order of the Ministry of War to shut down the defense, then I will stay in Binzhou for a few days for the time being. I believe that within three or two days there will be a secret decree fish amulet delivered, but if there is a delay in the big event, it will be up to you." bear it."
Zhao Cihao still refused to give an inch.
"Then wait for three or two days."
"snort!"
Zhao Cihao insisted on not allowing Li Yi to pass through Binzhou, but he was also afraid of the title of King Yi, so he agreed to allow the Jingzhou army to temporarily station under the city of Binzhou, and at the same time allowed the king of Yan to lead his followers into the city to rest.
"Please, King Yan!"
Li Yi snorted coldly, and led five hundred horsemen into the city.
After Qingqi entered the city, he immediately took over the Ximen of Binzhou in a pretentious manner.
Zhao Cihao looked dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to make a sound. Li Yi became more and more proud after seeing it.
"Please ask King Yan to temporarily stay in the backyard of the state government office, and the lower officials will send people to arrange wine, meat and meals to clean up the dust for the king!"
Li Yi does not doubt that he has it. Now he has 8,000 troops stationed outside the city, and Ximen is directly taken over by his own soldiers. Binzhou now belongs to Li Yi.
When the party came to the state government office, Li Yi's guard Qingqi immediately surrounded the government office.
Li Yi entered the Yamen and came to the Yamen Hall.
"Zhao Zhizhong, I remember that there are still a lot of ordnance in the arsenal of Binzhou. They were transported from Beijing when the Northern Expedition was prepared last time. After the Northern Expedition failed, these ordnance should still be in the arsenal, right? I remember some of them With more than ten thousand bows and crossbows and thousands of armor and shields, you have someone open the treasury and hand it over to this king."
"Your Majesty, these weapons now belong to Weiwei Temple. Without the imperial court's order, how dare the officials move?"
"Open it as soon as I tell you to, how can there be so much nonsense! Don't delay the holy life!"
"Your Majesty, why don't you go up and ask your Majesty now, as long as the imperial edict allows, I will hand over these instruments immediately."
Li Yi suppressed his anger strongly.
"Zhao Zhizhong, do you still have doubts about this king?"
"Don't dare, how dare the lower officials doubt the king."
"Since you don't dare, why are you pushing back and forth like this? The king ordered you to open the treasury immediately and hand over the equipment. In addition, you should immediately notify the soldiers of the commanding army in Binzhou to gather in Binzhou. When the edict arrives, This king will bring them into Beijing together."
The imperial court has very strict control over the local soldiers. The commanders of the Commander's Mansion are usually only responsible for training and platooning in the military mansion. In case of war or other situations, they must be recruited. After the military government received the transfer order, it had to agree with the governor of the state government where the military government was located.
The Fish Talisman of the Military Mansion is divided into three pieces, one for the Ministry of War. In case of an accident, the Ministry of War will issue two fish charms, one for the Commanding Army, and one for the governor of the prefecture where the Military Mansion is located.
The governor held the fish amulet mainly for the purpose of supervision.
But without this fish talisman, the commanding army couldn't even mobilize more than ten soldiers, let alone go out of bounds.
"My lord, why don't you wait any longer?"
Li Yi was very dissatisfied with this Zhao Cihao who was missing. He originally thought that he would send troops like in Jingzhou, but he didn't expect Zhao Cihao to be so stubborn.
"You obstruct me everywhere. Could it be that you are a party of traitors in Beijing?" Li Yi saw that he was not going to be soft, so he was ready to be tough. Anyway, the gate of the city was already under control. Since the surname Zhao didn't cooperate, he might as well be tied up. .
"Your Majesty's remark wrongly wronged the official. The official is loyal to His Majesty and the court. How could he be a party of traitors?"
"Yeah?"
"Of course, if the king doesn't believe me, I can ask someone to testify for me."
Li Yi was stunned.
At this time, a person walked out from the back of the hall.
"The king of Yan is a very powerful official. It is a good way to turn black and white like this. I want to ask the king of Yan. You say that you have sent troops to Beijing under a secret decree. How dare you ask who came to convey the secret to you? Where is he now? Or, King Yan, you are simply raising an army and plotting rebellion?"
Li Yi was taken aback by repeated shouting and asking.
After taking a closer look, after seeing the person coming, he was very puzzled.
The one who came was a young man in his teens, he was quite tall and heroic, but he only wore a green shirt, which seemed a little arrogant.
"Where is the bold lunatic coming from!" Luo Yi asked.
Qin Lang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot that the King of Yan has never met me, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Qin Lang, and now I am the governor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"King Yan, Your Majesty asked me to go to Jingzhou to see how you are doing in catching locusts and fighting disasters. Unexpectedly, you came to Binzhou with so many soldiers and horses. You are so brave!"
Li Yi looked suspiciously, looking left and right.
"Are you the **** son of Qin Qiong's family?"
"That's right, I'm still a meritorious official of the Xuanwu Gate, and one of the Forty-Six Serious Officials of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yi looked at Qin Lang, then at Zhao Cihao, and began to retreat slowly towards the door. He shouted as he retreated, "Zhao Jiu, Song Jun!"
But even after shouting several times, there was no response. His two pro-military lieutenants were not outside the door.
Qin Lang chuckled.
"King Yan, don't rush away, don't you think that the situation is under control? Don't you think that Binzhou is already a piece of meat? You think you brought five hundred horses into the city, and this Binzhou city is Yours?"
"Come on, come on!"
"Stop shouting, let me tell you the truth, your subordinates are even more arrogant than you. They surrounded the state office and thought that everything was fine. I sent someone to take your two pro-military lieutenants aside for a drink just now. Now, right now, outside this yamen hall is full of people from my Zhen Fusi!"
Li Yi's face was shocked, he never expected that he has seen all kinds of big scenes in his life, but now he is going to capsize in the gutter.
"How did you know I was coming?"
"Do you think your changes can be concealed from the Zhen Fusi? You have called the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to gather in the name of a military parade. I have already received the news. To be honest, I have been waiting here. You are three days old!"
Li Yi reached out to touch the knife, but found nothing.
Before he entered the government office, he had already handed over the weapon to his subordinates.
Qin Lang sneered a few times.
"Li Yi, you have been given the surname of the country, you have been granted the title of county king, and you have been listed as a property. What is there to be dissatisfied with? Why do you still want to plot chaos?"
Li Yi was covered in iron armor, standing there like a lump in Yulin, he didn't know how to answer at all.
He called several times just now, but didn't hear any response from his subordinates, so he was convinced of Qin Lang's words.
Although there are hundreds of Qingqi outside the Yamen, and nearly ten thousand horses outside the city, he is alone and helpless in this Yamen.
Qin Lang looked at Li Yi, who had a ruthless look in his eyes, and just shook his head.
"King Yan still wants to show the bravery of ordinary people?"
"I advise you to be more sensible. If you are arrested now, maybe you can meet His Majesty in Chang'an City, and you can have a good result. If you still want to make a desperate fight, you will die a miserable death!"
Li Yi gritted his teeth and reached out to lift up a small table in front of him.
"Hahaha, the dignified commander of the Youzhou iron cavalry has fallen to this point?" Qin Lang mocked.
Li Yi slammed the little table in his hand towards Qin Lang, then turned around abruptly and rushed towards the hall door. This old guy obviously still wants to give it a go, and wants to turn his bicycle into a motorcycle.
It's a pity that Qin Lang did mental calculations but didn't care. He started making arrangements three days ago.
He didn't send Yang Ji's soldiers here, he just wanted to intimidate Li Yi. A person like Li Yi has fought all his life. He is bold and arrogant. Binzhou doesn't care about him at all. He thought that he could come in and out of his backyard whenever he wanted. He would never have expected that Qin Lang would bring Baiqi with him. It's been lying in ambush all this time.
"Catch the thief and punish the rebel!"
Qin Lang shouted.
A Huang, Liu Jiu, Lin San, and Dugu Yanyun, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, rushed in fully armed.
Li Yi was forced to come back.
The crowd surrounded him in a circle.
Li Yi stood there with his bare hands, roaring furiously, looking up to the sky and screaming.
"Stop screaming, screaming broke your throat, and no one can save you today!"
After Qin Lang finished speaking, he didn't bother to talk nonsense. Just now he just wanted to see if he could force Li Yi to catch him without a fight, but now it seems that this guy really doesn't give up until he reaches the Yellow River. If that's the case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Li Yi, look at what I am!"
Qin Lang took the Horse-Chopping Sword from Ah Huang, and drew the sword out of its sheath.
This is the sword bestowed by the emperor, the sword Li Shimin used when he was king of Qin.
"Your Majesty gave me this sword. There was an imperial decree. When encountering rebellious ministers and thieves, you can cut it first and then play it!"
Qin Lang waved this two-handed sword with both hands, dancing like a wheel. This sword is very long and heavy. When it is swung by both hands, it saves effort, but it is more powerful when it is used against the enemy.
Relying on inertia, this big sword is no worse than a heavy axe and a big knife.
Li Yi tore off a piece of arm armor and used it as the last resistance weapon.
Qin Lang swung his sword and rushed forward.
Ah Huang, Qin Yong and others surrounded Qin Lang, and no one came forward to claim credit for Qin Lang.
Although Li Yi is wearing armor, but with a small piece of arm armor in his hand, how can he be the opponent of Qin Lang's two-handed sword.
One sword after another.
After three strikes, the arm armor in Li Yi's hand was blown away.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Lang gained power and slashed fiercely with his sword. Li Yi was besieged and it was difficult to dodge.
Slashed with a sword, Li Yi groaned and staggered back.
Qin Lang's great sword slashed down again.
The big sword chopped off Li Yi's shoulder armor, and Li Yi fell to the ground.
Qin Lang didn't give him a chance, so he rushed forward and swung his sword to chop again.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Li Yiren's head fell to the ground, and his body was separated!
This cavalry general who had been famous in the frontier since the Sui Dynasty fell!
