  Chapter 69 Beacon Smoke Surprises Chang'an

  In Zhongnan Mountain.

  Brothers Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang, and Feng Xu led more than a thousand palace soldiers to kneel down to receive the edict.

   "Hurry up, invite the two Sima Cui Zheng out."

  Xue Wanche accepted the summons, remembering that Qin Lang's two subordinates were still imprisoned in the woodshed of the Taoist temple on the mountain, he quickly asked someone to release them.

   Xie Shufang also had his own soldiers bandage the wound. This master envoy did not expect to hunt geese all day long, but today he was pecked in the eye by geese, and he has been extremely ashamed. A little bit dissatisfied in his heart, but he was ashamed. Qin Lang was young, but that trick of the trump card really subdued him.

Cui Dunli and Zheng Xuanli starved for a day and a night in the firewood room, feeling dizzy and muscular. When several soldiers came in, they thought they were here to kill them, and begged for mercy loudly. Zheng Xuanli even frightened him. peed.

  The two soldiers have returned to the army at this time, and of course I am embarrassed to make fun of them.

   "Cui Sima, Zheng Sima, Qin Sicheng is here to pick you up and return to Chang'an." The soldier said flatteringly.

  Zheng Xuanli fought between the two groups, "Go back to Chang'an?"

   "The two Sima Haojiao learned that Xue Xie and several generals have accepted His Royal Highness's pardon decree, and are now returning to Chang'an."

  Cui Dunli heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the puddle of yellow stains under Zheng Xuanli's feet with some disdain. In fact, he almost peed just now.

   "It must have been my nephew Huai Liang who brought the army, and the men of Xue Xie surrendered in fear, right?"

  The sergeant smiled.

   "Duke Yi didn't bring a large army, but just brought a dozen cavalry soldiers into the mountain. He announced the crown prince's favor. We are grateful for His Highness's kindness, so we all know how to return when we are lost."

  Cui Dunli was very surprised to hear this, and immediately became angry again.

  Since Qin Lang has this ability, why did he send the two of them over first? This must be to insult them by the hands of Xue Xie and others.

  When thinking about it, Cui Dunli's face turned purple with anger, and Zheng Xuanli over there was even more ashamed and hated. Both of them hated Qin Lang at the same time, and they didn't thank Qin Lang for getting out of the predicament at all.

   "Hurry up and get me a clean shirt." Zheng Xuanli was not in a hurry to leave now.

  Cui Dunli also said, "Get us something to eat, it's best to have a bowl of soup cakes, put some chopped green onion, sheep tail oil, and add some pepper."

  The sergeants could only laugh along with them at this time, and they didn't dare to urge them, and they could only satisfy various demands as much as possible.

  Qin Lang chatted with Xue Xie and others at the foot of the mountain for a long time, but they didn't come down. Later, a sergeant came down and reported with a wry smile, saying that the two asked to take a bath and change clothes, and then come down after drinking tea.

  Xue Xie couldn't help scolding these two cowards for showing off in their hearts, but it was hard to say it clearly.

"Oh, is it so?"

Qin Lang snorted coldly after hearing this, "It seems that Xue Xie and the generals treated my two Sima very well, and they are too happy to leave. If this is the case, then we will not hurry to urge them to leave, let them leave. After spending more time here, I will go back to Chang'an with some generals, and His Royal Highness must also want to meet some of them sooner."

   "Would you like to wait any longer?" Xie Shufang said.

   "I can't let His Royal Highness wait for the body of sin. Let's go." Xue Wanche is impatient and doesn't want to talk to those bastards.

  So, everyone packed up together and went straight to Chang'an, leaving those two cowards on the mountain.

  Lantian County.

  When the local garrison commander heard that soldiers had come out of the mountain, they were so frightened that they beat drums and horns, ordered the gates of the military mansion to be closed, and sent soldiers on duty to defend the city.

   Far away, more than a thousand soldiers and horses came slowly.

   "It's Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang, and Feng Li brothers' rebellion!"

  A cavalryman went out of the city and circled around, and rushed back to report.

   "Quick, report to Chang'an."

  Xue Xie and the others were all first-class generals in the world. On that day, Chang'an was in chaos. They led the defeated troops all the way into the mountain. The military government tried to intercept them, but they killed more than ten people and left.

   Now seeing them coming out again, I thought they were coming to attack the city to grab food.

   There was a panic in the city, and some soldiers even started to light the beacon.

  Qin Lang rode his horse and galloped to the city.

   "Duke Yi?"

  The commanding army on the city was surprised to see Qin Lang, who had entered the mountain not long ago, appear below the city.

   "Don't panic, the generals and soldiers of Xue Xie in the mountains have already knelt down to obey the prince's edict."

  The alarm was lifted, it turned out to be a false alarm.

  But the commander was very cautious and didn't dare to open the city gate.

   "Come out and help resettle these brothers." Qin Lang took out the Qilin Order and asked the commander to send someone out to help build the barracks and send troops to guard.

  In fact, the soldiers of Xue Wanche and others were to confiscate their weapons and armor, etc., and temporarily put them under custody on the spot. Of course, they were here to wait for the imperial decree and rewards in name.

   Those who can really leave this place and return to Chang'an are Xue Wanche and other high-ranking officers.

"After we leave, you will be responsible for maintaining the order here and providing the necessary meals. Remember to prepare meals in the military castle every day, and then send them out of the city to the camp. You can only cook one meal at a time, and you can't send more. Their horses are waiting for you. I will also put it away and give it to you to temporarily lock it in the city, do you understand what I mean?" Qin Lang said.

The commander immediately nodded, settling outside the city, only giving one meal of food at a time, confiscating horses and weapons, and sending troops to guard the camp to maintain order. Get rid of them right away.

   "Very good, that's it, work hard, deal with it, and I will give you credit later." Qin Lang patted the sixth-rank general.

At the beginning of Wude, the Tang Dynasty changed the Yingyang Mansion in the Sui Dynasty to the Huqi Mansion and the Cheqi Mansion, and the chief officials were the Huqi General and the Cheqi General. It sounds very tall, but in fact they are the masters of the military mansion with thousands of people. That's all, they are all sixth-rank martial arts. In the seventh year of Wude, the Hushi Mansion and the Cheqi Mansion were changed to the Commanding Army Mansion, the Huqi General was the Commanding Army, and the Cheqi General was the other general.

  Command the army Chiyufu, responsible for the daily management of the soldiers in the army.

   "Thank you, Duke Yi."

  The burly man in his forties couldn't help being very grateful when he heard Qin Lang's words. He barely managed to get to the commanding position after fighting for half his life, but if he wanted to rise again, he couldn't get up without a solid backing.

Now it was a coincidence that he had a relationship with Duke Yi, and he naturally obeyed Qin Lang's request. Anyway, Qin Lang didn't ask him to mobilize the palace soldiers. He didn't dare. Not a problem.

   After the explanation was clear, Qin Lang asked Qin Yong to inform Xue Wanche and others to bring the soldiers and horses.

   "I have asked Liu Tongjun to prepare some silk armor, please remove the armor here, and then we can rush back to Chang'an to meet the prince."

Xue Wanche waited and looked at the silk armor that had already been held out, hesitated for a moment, then took off the armor cooperatively, and put on the silk armor without the slightest defensive ability. This kind of silk armor is bright in color and very mighty, but it is only the usual armor of generals. Ceremonial dress.

  Removing the armor means that once you enter Chang'an, there is no room for resistance, but now that you have gone down the mountain, there is no room for turning back.

  ·······

  Chang'an.

  The beacon smoke ignited by the Tongjun Mansion in Lantian County was soon passed to Bashang, the suburb of Chang'an, one stop after another.

  The soldiers of You Xiaowei saw it and reported it quickly.

   Soon, the people in the entire Chang'an city saw the beacon smoke rising from the southern suburbs of Chang'an. For a while, Chang'an was panicked and rumors spread everywhere.

  Even the East Palace has urgently closed the gate of the palace.

  Cheng Yaojin personally led the prince's right guard to guard the gate of the palace. Qin Qiong, who was already on duty, was called back to the Taiji Palace urgently to guard the palace.

   "What's the situation? Could it be that Xue Wanche came back to Chang'an thanks to Shu Fang?"

  Li Shimin looked at the officials who rushed to the East Palace.

   "Get my armor, and meet them alone."

"Your Highness, you must not, the body of a thousand gold can't sit down, and now there are only beacon smoke, no soldiers and horses, and the enemy's situation is unknown. You should first close the gate of Chang'an City, block the palace, send troops to strengthen the defense, and at the same time send people to inquire about the situation. " Wei Zheng immediately stood up and loudly opposed Li Shimin's plan to leave the city.

   "Even if there is a rebellion, tens of thousands of guards in Chang'an are enough to deal with it. If His Highness personally puts on the armor and goes out of the city, I am afraid that the whole Chang'an will panic. It must not be done."

  The monarch and his ministers are in dispute.

   Right Wuhou General Hou Junji came in.

   "Your Highness, there is news from Gangba Shangtong Army Mansion that Qin Lang sent his own soldiers to summon him to Zhongnan Mountain and successfully persuaded Xue Wanche and more than a thousand people to come out of the mountain."

   "Then this beacon?"

   "The beacon smoke is the result of the panic and misreporting of the military situation by the Lantian Commander's Mansion."

  ········

  No one expected that the flurry of smoke in Chang'an City would actually be like this.

   Li Shimin finally sat down and no longer wanted to go out of the city in armor to fight.

  Over there, Wei Zheng immediately went on to impeach the commander of the Lantian Mansion.

   Li Shimin didn't care to listen to these things. At this time, he was still more concerned about Qin Lang's results.

   "Didn't you say before that Xue Wanche and others **** the two Sima who persuaded him to surrender from the Zhenfu Department to ask for food and grass?"

"Qin Lang went out, one against two. It is said that Qin Lang only brought a dozen or so soldiers, dressed in hunting clothes and carrying a hunting bow, into the mountain, and went directly to Uncle Xie's phalanx for a duel. As a result, Qin Lang knocked Xie Shufang off in one round. I captured him, and then Xiao said that he was very powerful, and persuaded him emotionally, and finally persuaded Xue Xie and others to come down the mountain to vote." Hou Junji said in amazement.

   "Qin Lang shot down Xie Shufang in one round and captured him alive?" Li Shimin was surprised, with a tone of disbelief.

  Even the prince Zuo Wei led and Zuo Wuhou general Wei Chigong bluntly said it was impossible.

   "Xie Shufang is a master of making horses. If he can't beat Shang Shubao, there is no reason why he can't beat Qin Lang. He was captured alive in one round!"

   "I heard that Yi Guo's envoy has used the Qin family's unique skills."

   "My boy, I have used all these desperate moves, no wonder." Of course Li Shimin knew the Qin family's trump card.

  No matter how you say it, in short, Qin Lang succeeded, accomplished a great event, made a great contribution, and did it very beautifully.

  Rubbing his short beard, Li Shimin became more and more satisfied with that hairy son-in-law.

"Your Highness, please kill Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang, Feng Li, Feng Xu and other thieves, to comfort Lu Er General Zai Tianyingling, and to pay homage to those loyal warriors who died on the day of Jingchao!" Hou Junji asked Qin Lang to wait for Xue Wanche to wait for him. As soon as they returned to Chang'an, they were immediately beheaded.

   "Your Highness, it is absolutely impossible, people cannot be dishonest!" Wei Zheng immediately jumped out to object.

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, then at Hou Junji, and finally said, "Gu has already issued an edict to pardon them, so of course he will do what he says, Wei Zheng, you will immediately go out of Chang'an City on behalf of Gu to meet Qin Lang, Xue Wanche and others. Go back to Chang'an and tell Qin Lang that he has done another meritorious service, and when he comes back, he will be rewarded face to face!"

   "Chen Wei Zheng takes orders!" Wei Zheng accepted the order.
