"Say!"

"Say!"

In the official road, Li Ji led thousands of troops forward rapidly.

This time, Li Shimin asked him and Liu Dewei to go to Qizhou to quell the rebellion, which was a gift.

There were at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers in Jiuzhou near Qizhou. In addition, the thousands of elite soldiers brought from Chang'an City, it was easy to quell the rebellion of the King of Qi.

"Maogong, this battle is easy to fight or fight. It is hard to fight, and it is hard to fight or fight."

Liu Dewei rode his horse to Li Ji, feeling very depressed.

Li Shimin arranged for him to go to Qizhou, but Li You rebelled in Qizhou.

What will you think?

Did he, Liu Dewei, force the King of Qi to rebel?

What would Li Shimin think if Li You accidentally kills him when the rebels attacked him?

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Although Li Ji was a smart man of the Tang Dynasty, he was not as familiar with the situation in Qizhou City as Liu Dewei.

"A discerning person can see that the rebellion of Your Highness King Qi has a great relationship with Yin Hongzhi. Who is Yin Hongzhi? I have thought it through now. For him, as long as Your Highness King Qi rebelled, he would be satisfied. If His Majesty and his son could be killed, it would be more in line with his wishes.

But His Highness King Qi has a strong trust in Yin Hongzhi. If Yin Hongzhi continues to use evil tricks and let His Highness King Qi charge into battle, then the soldiers will be restrained when they start. If other ambitious people see hope, this battle will be difficult to fight."

"Then what do you mean when you just said you could fight?"

"Of course, it means literally! With the level of Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongxin's group, what experience does it have to lead troops to fight besides training a few dead soldiers? I heard that His Highness of Qi rashly recruited all men over fifteen years old in Qizhou City to join the army, and in this way, the combat effectiveness of the original troops was directly diluted. If they dared to confront the duel upright, as long as one charge, we could tie them, and we didn't even need to call the soldiers of Jiuzhou!"

As the Minister of Justice, Liu Dewei knew some military affairs.

"The decree I received was to quell the rebellion in Qizhou. As for whether His Highness the King of Qi is dead or alive, it is not the primary concern. At the end of last year, the Empress just passed away, and His Majesty's mood has not yet recovered. His Highness the King of Qi is at this critical moment. Even if we captured him alive, it is hard to say whether he can still have the chance to survive."

Li Ji knew Li Shimin so well.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, he was trying his best to avoid the occurrence of father-son tyranny, but if something touched his bottom line, then the death of a few sons was nothing at all.

Now that Li You and Yin Hongzhi are in trouble, making the situation so big, it would be impossible for Li Shimin to not mind at all.

"No matter how His Majesty deals with His Highness the King of Qi in the end, he cannot die at our hands anyway. Otherwise, he might have a knot in his heart one day. When he thinks of this, it will be a headache."

As the Minister of Justice, Liu Dewei has to come into contact with various cases every day.

How to deal with each case is actually very particular.

This also cultivated his keen political sense of nose.

"Dewei, what you said is right. Your Majesty is angry. Even if His Highness King Qi dies in the battlefield, we will definitely not blame us. But in a few months or years, will His Majesty remember that he has a son who died at our hands again? It is hard to say."

Li Ji felt that it was originally a task to give credit, but it seemed that there were more things that were difficult to deal with.

However, before he could get too much trouble, a scout rushed forward.

"The rebellion in Qizhou City has been quelled!"

"Um?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Our vanguard has not even entered the territory of Qizhou, so why has it been pacified? Could it be that His Majesty has arranged for other troops to march quickly to Dengzhou? I have never heard of it."

Li Ji looked at the scout with a little confusion.

"Qizhou soldiers Du Xingmin led his troops and gathered a group of merchants and people to siege the Qi Palace in the middle of the night, and finally captured His Highness, Yin Hongzhi, Yan Hongxin and others. Now the situation in Qizhou City has basically been controlled."

Next to the scout, a messenger-like man stood up to explain the situation in Qizhou.

"Qizhou Military Office?"

Li Ji was confused again!

The military commander is just a seventh-rank sesame official.

My second-rank duke took a large army to fight, and was about to show off his strength, but you told me that the rebellion had been put down by a seventh-rank sesame official!

When did this world become so fantastic?

"That's right! Du Xingmin, the military officer of Qizhou! Under the leadership of Du Bingcao, Qizhou has basically restored order, but the market has become much more depressed. His Highness, the criminals such as the King of Qi have been imprisoned in a prison and are ready to send them to Chang'an City according to the will of the court."

At this moment, Li Ji finally understood that Qizhou seemed to be really pacified.

Although he was still a little confused, how could a seventh-rank military officer quell the rebellion in Qizhou?

Didn’t it mean that there was a 50,000 army?

There are at most hundreds of subordinates in a military commander, so how can one get the 50,000 army?

Li Ji was full of confusion.

However, at this time he no longer thought about it.

“Du…Du…”

"Du Xingmin!"

"Yes, how did Du Xingmin quell the Qizhou rebellion?"

Although Du Xingmin is a sub-subter of the Du family in Jingzhao, his status is too low and Li Ji can't remember it at all.

Just like a minister of national defense in later generations, it is impossible to remember every leader below.

"The rebels in Qizhou City were only concerned about fighting for benefits and did not play a role in maintaining the order of Qizhou. During this period, the merchants and the people suffered a lot, and many people were already very dissatisfied. Du Bingcao took advantage of the situation to summon more than 1,000 people and suddenly besieged the Qi Palace in the middle of the night. After fighting for a whole night, he still did not capture it, so he prepared to use fire attack.

Because of the fire attack, the people in the Qi Palace may be burned to death, so His Highness, the King of Qi, surrendered and became a prisoner of Du Bingcao."

"A little soldier actually has such a vision and such means. It seems that 'there are often horses in a thousand miles, but the Bole does not have one', which makes a lot of sense."

Li Ji became loving talent and prepared to have a good chat with him after going to Qizhou.

As for the great contribution that had fallen from the world, it is gone now. Although Li Ji felt a little uncomfortable, he was not very good either.

After all, he was already a Duke of the State and also held the position of Minister of War, and he was a very powerful minister.

"Maogong, it seems that we can not only not only eliminate the need for the troops in the palace, but also let the thousands of people behind us go back more than half of them!"

Liu Dewei breathed a sigh of relief. He was very satisfied that the Qizhou rebellion could end with such an end.

"Everyone go back, leave hundreds of personal soldiers to Qizhou with me, and just escort His Highness the King of Qi and the court's criminals back."

Li Ji glanced at the soldiers behind him with some pity.

Everyone came excitedly and thought they could make great contributions.

As a result, before the boundaries of Qizhou were even entered, they said they were going to return.

In this way, there is no need to think about rewards or something.
