At this time, Li Ming, king of Cao, was left with a crying voice, and could not even say a complete sentence. If it were not for the support of soldiers on both sides, he would have been paralyzed on the high platform like a pool of mud.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of Li Jun and Li Jie." Li Hong back to Cao Wang Li Ming, looking at the sky edge of the fish belly white, light said.
"Hong'er, please forgive me. I dare not. I can persuade the king of Yue and others to give up their resistance and not kill me. By the way, report to your majesty that he will not kill me. Please, even if I am abandoned as a commoner and exiled to Lingnan, please, hong'er, I don't want to die. Really, I don't want to die. I beg you, I'm your uncle. If you do this, my royal family's reputation has accumulated over the years... "
"Li Hong came a step late and didn't save uncle Cao from Wei Chao, the anti thief. Li Hong felt guilty." Li Hong looked at the first ray of sunshine that was about to break through the horizon and said faintly.
There was a slight sound behind him, and then there was no sound. The head did not fall under the platform, but was blocked by people's feet at the edge of the platform.
Li Hong see did not see said: "find someone to sew up, the coffin."
With Li Hong's command, this Zhechong mansion was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty overnight, just like the other two.
All this will have no impact on the people in Yangzhou city. Even after the sun rises slowly from the horizon, some Yangzhou people who have just got up don't know that the city has undergone earth shaking changes this night.
Even, most of them did not know that Yangzhou city had changed owners several times on this quiet night, which was no different from the usual one. In the undercurrent surging, under the water like night, Yangzhou city was slowly recovering its original appearance.
The battle scenes of Ming Dao and Ming gun have always been the law of power in this era, while Yangzhou City, on a quiet night, tries to minimize the turmoil.
The street is much quieter than usual. Many people open the door and say hello as usual. However, in the early rising air, there seems to be a trace of dangerous gravity, warning them that when they do the usual things, they are cautious, and even their voice is deliberately lowered.
Some babies in the mother's arms, just cry out a voice, they were mother with sweet * * to stop the small mouth, for fear of his cry, startled the outside, do not know what to do, to cause trouble at home.
A little older children are forbidden to go out and play in front of the walls in their boring homes.
Teams of soldiers and soldiers passed through the streets and alleys of Yangzhou, confirming that the crisis of the night was still on, and the turmoil in Yangzhou city seemed not to be over.
Some people quietly whispered with their neighbors, fighting each other, listening to the current situation of Yangzhou City, did the court send troops? Did something happen last night? How's the governor? Cao Wang, who came to Yangzhou some time ago, where are they now? Is the prince able to fight them? Can the prince recapture Yangzhou? How many troops did the court send to suppress it?
In the early morning, the nobles and the elders with high status in the aristocratic families would make a pot of tea and sit in the courtyard with a solemn look of closing their eyes and sleeping, or listening to the outside world with their ears up. All in all, they were dignified.
The maid is more cautious than usual, standing quietly on one side to serve. These really hold the authority of the family's lifeblood.
Compared with the turbulence outside the wall, the elderly in the courtyard are more important in the eyes of the maid and more deterrent to them.
She would not understand that the turmoil in Yangzhou city was closely related to her interests. She only knew that if she did not serve the authoritative elders in the government well at this time, her own fate might be miserable and even sold to other people.
The children of the family are also cautious. Every time they come out of the room and go to another room, they can't help but look at the solemn old man. They want to know what the old man's plans are and what countermeasures they can take. However, they are afraid of the authority of the elderly at home and dare not take the initiative to disturb them.
The whole city of Yangzhou is in the same calm as before, but full of some tension, which makes people feel nervous and uneasy. Everything is so normal, everything is so unusual. In the past, all the scenery is there, and even there is not a trace of fighting, but everywhere seems to hide the murderous spirit of the iron horse.
The closer you get to the residence of Li Zhen, the more you feel the suffocating pressure.
The air around seemed to be frozen, and the streets around it were under martial law. The doors and windows of people's houses were closed, and the naughty children blinked at the soldiers holding spears, crossbars and crossbows outside.
In the heart both envy and fear, in short, the small hand can't help but buckle the gap on the door panel, concentrating, nervous and excited to look at everything outside.The Zhechong mansion led by Li Jingye, together with the three Zhechong houses originally led by Luo Binwang and Wei Siwen, has surrounded the residence of Li Zhen, the king of Yue. Some heralds galloped back and forth on fast horses, reporting the situation around the residence to Li Jingye.
The sun shining from afar, with a trace of new weather, into this piece of frozen air, efforts to dissolve, fusion of this piece of suffocating atmosphere.
"Dudu, there was no movement in the yuewangfu, but the spies sent in returned on May 1, and all of them were folded in it." Luo Binwang quickly went to Li Jingye and reported in a low voice.
"Where is wiswin?" Li Jingye saw Luo Binwang and Wei Siwen. He frowned and looked at the front gate of Yuewang mansion not far away.
"Back to Dudu, Mr. Wei..."
"What's wrong with him? To tell you the truth Li Jingye's heart sank. Wei Siwen always wanted to cross the Yangtze River to attack Luoyang in the north, instead of going south to Runzhou and Changzhou. Now that the people are gone, what's wrong?
Or did he always hope that he had colluded with King Yue and King Cao?
"After entering the yuewangfu, they never came out again." Luo Binwang said quietly.
"So he had already colluded with King Cao and others?" Li Jingye directly said the speculation in his heart.
"I don't know, but before he went in, Li Ming, king of Cao, had already gone to Zhechong's house, which was under the command of Wei Chao." Luo Binwang observed the expression on Li Jingye's face.
At this time, Li Jingye suddenly lowered his head so that people could not see the expression on his face. After a long time, Li Jingye suddenly said: "Wei Chao's father used to serve as a pawn in the palace of Li Ming, King Cao. Later, he was exiled to Puzhou because of King Cao's crime. Cao Wang wanted to persuade Wei Chao. After the prince arrived in Yangzhou, he was afraid that he would change his direction and force Wei Chao was attached to King Cao. You immediately led two Zhechong houses to stop them from approaching here. "
"What are you going to do here? If you have an emergency here, the lower officer should
"You don't have to worry about it. We have an advantage over the 3000 strong troops of two Zhechong houses and one thousand troops of one Zhechong mansion. You don't have to worry about my safety." Li Jingye still lowers his head, so that Luo Binwang can't see clearly and can't hear it. Is Li Jingye's words true or false.
"But..."
"Not so much, but, you go at once." Li Jingye looked up and said deeply.
Luo Binwang's heart sank. It seems that his highness did not expect that Li Jingye had already realized that Yangzhou city was no longer under his control. He wanted to flee.
Otherwise, with the strength of four Zhechong prefectures, facing the 1000 troops of Li Zhen, king of Yue, why did they delay to order an attack, instead of dividing them into two places? This is completely contrary to the plan he told himself and Wei Siwen at night.
In hesitation, Luo Bin Wang only heard the sound of horse's hooves coming from behind. So he immediately looked back and saw a soldier galloping his horse, with a red rope flashing in his wrist.
When the horse was approaching, the soldier suddenly tightened his horse's rein. Before waiting for the horse's front hoof to fall due to a sudden stop, he jumped off the horse's back and galloped to him and Li Jingye to report: "report to your honor, Wei Chao is attached to King Cao and is now blocking the nearest city gate from here."
"What? How could it be? " Li Jingye was surprised and stood up from the chair at the gate of the Yuewang mansion. Did Prince Li Hong really nest in ManJiang garden this night and do nothing?
Luo Binwang was relieved when he saw the red rope looming on the soldier's wrist. At this time, he knew better than anyone how important it was for carrier pigeons to transmit information quickly.
The information from my side can be known by your highness in a short time, and the news from your highness can also be known by yourself at the first time.
However, Li Jingye, his colleagues and others rely on the method of sending messages by messenger soldiers. Compared with the way that the prince uses carrier pigeons to transmit information, they are more like a blind man in Yangzhou.
"What now, my lord?" Luo Binwang interposed timely.
Li Jingye looked gloomy and uncertain. His eyes wandered at the gate of Luo Binwang and Yue Wangfu. He murmured to himself, "King Cao blocked the city gate? What's the point? Why does he believe that their power is far superior to me in Yangzhou? Now the yuewangfu is surrounded by us. If he doesn't come to rescue him, why is it blocking the city gate? Is it to deal with Prince Li Hong? Afraid that the prince will escape from the city
"Well What if the crown prince captured King Cao and his soldiers and blocked the city gate? " Luo Bingwang looks at Li Jingye tentatively and asks.
Li Jingye looked up at Luo Binwang in surprise again, narrowed his eyes, and said: "if Prince Li Hong captured King Cao and then blocked Yangzhou City, this is forcing us to have peace talks."
