Feeling the strangeness on his shoulders, Ziyi's eyes trembled slightly, and he moved away calmly, pointing to the battlefield in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, Prince, they are about to win, should we also send troops to pursue the enemy. "
"No matter what, even if it's just a show, when it comes to rewarding people based on their merits, it would be nice to have something to say."
Seeing this, Liu Jing smiled, with deep eyes, and nodded: "That's very reasonable. The whole army will go out to attack the rebels over there!"
The rebels couldn't hold on originally, and with the addition of Liu Jing's ten thousand people, the battlefield situation suddenly became like a tilted balance, one-sided!
Under the leadership of Liu Yu and Li Changkong, Zhu Ben and Jia Taisui led the army. It can be said that people block people and kill people, and Buddha blocks kill Buddha. They have a posture of ghosts and gods trying to ward off changes.
After a few moments, the chase was over.
Liu Yu's expectation was good, and he really couldn't catch anyone.
But even so, a large number of rebels were captured and a lot of food was confiscated.
Looking at the food, Li Changkong frowned slightly, and his doubts deepened.
The reason why Yizhou rebelled in the first place was that it was hit by a storm and the sea water rolled back, resulting in no harvest.
There was no food to eat, refugees were everywhere, and Li Huai'an was instigated by the unstable factor, which led to this rebellion that lasted for half a year.
So it stands to reason that the rebels' food supply should be somewhat compact.
But now based on the collected grain, it seems that this is not the case. Not only are the rebels' food reserves not in short supply, but they are... somewhat surplus.
I hope Sheng Jin can give an answer to these questions.
Li Changkong shook his head and followed Liu Yu into the gate of Jiaozhou City.
Sheng Jin had already been waiting in front of the door. When he saw Liu Yu and Liu Jing arriving, he hurriedly ran forward and kowtowed: "The guilty minister Sheng Jin has met the two princes."
"Haha, Sheng Jin, you are so brave!"
"What you said in your report to the court is that the rebellion is about to be subsided, and what is left is just a ragtag group of stragglers."
"What now?"
"Is this the rabble you call? As the magistrate of a state, how did you get beaten up on the city wall by a rabble?"
When Liu Jing came up, he cursed loudly and said, "Do you know what the crime is for false reports?"
When Sheng Jin heard this, his face immediately turned pale, but he still said truthfully: "The guilty minister knows that he is guilty. When this matter is over, the guilty minister is willing to step down as the governor of Jiaozhou and follow the two princes back to Qiandu to await their fate."
There was no excuse at all, he just admitted it.
This is really beyond everyone's expectation. You must know that such a big mistake is basically a capital crime if there are no other reasons.
In fact, Sheng Jin also wanted to defend himself, but after much deliberation, he couldn't say a word. He couldn't say that he was being tricked by the leader of the thief and couldn't even grasp the situation, right?
Wouldn't that further confirm his reputation as incompetent?
It's better to just admit it.
Li Changkong stepped forward and asked, "I want to know the cause and effect of this matter. As a prefect, you cannot possibly not know the consequences of false reports. Why do you do this?"
Sheng Jin had never met Li Changkong, but he was only half a step behind the crown prince. In addition, he had an extraordinary bearing. The armor on his body and the sword in his hand were all of extraordinary quality.
He immediately knew that this person was probably in a high and powerful position.
In this case, when asked about his pain, Sheng Jin could only tell the truth, no matter how unhappy he was.
After listening, Li Changkong couldn't help but frown.
This was not what he expected.
Li Huai'an was able to launch a rebellion and occupy Yizhou for half a year, so he certainly had certain capabilities.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the imperial army many times, and even kill Zhang Huaiyang on the battlefield.
But...he is just a small county magistrate of Yizhou, how can he have such great ability?
If he really had such a great talent, why was he not discovered by the court during the imperial examination?
"How much do you know about Li Huai'an? How did you become an official? Have you encountered any unfair treatment?"
"This..." After Sheng Jin thought hard for a while, he shook his head and said, "Sir, to be honest, I do have some impressions of Li Huai'an, just because he and I were elected in the same year."
"It's just that after I passed the imperial examination in high school, he had to study hard for five years before he could reach the bottom of the second class."
"Due to his poor reputation, he could only be assigned to the relatively remote Yizhou when he was divided into officials, and he would start from a small chief clerk."
"How has Li Huai'an's political performance been during his tenure? Has he ever been promoted?" Li Changkong asked.
Hearing this, Sheng Jin thought for a moment, and then shook his head decisively: "As far as I know, Li Huaian's political achievements during his tenure were mediocre."
"As for promotion, I have only been promoted once in so many years, and it was because of my qualifications."
Li Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly, and the doubts in his heart worsened again.
No matter how you look at it, this Li Huai'an is also an ordinary person. How can he cause such a big disturbance?
"You have been fighting with Li Huai'an for many days, have you ever seen this person?"
Hearing this, Sheng Jin shook his head decisively and said, "This man has a delicate mind and is as cunning as a fox. When the two armies are fighting, he often hides in the army or has another hiding place."
"Even though I have fought with him for several months, I have never seen his true face."
"What? Isn't the emperor afraid of this Li Huai'an?" Liu Jing heard Li Changkong ask, and his mind gradually became more active, and he said to Liu Yu.
"Hmph." Liu Yu snorted coldly and said, "There is a saying in the art of war. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles."
"I advise you to rein in your arrogance. Otherwise, if your horse stumbles, don't say that I, the royal brother, can't be saved."
"Thank you for your kindness, brother Huang." Liu Jingpi said with a smile.
Seeing that there seemed to be some conflicts between the two princes, Sheng Jin hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Your Highnesses, now that the rebels have retreated, what should we do?"
"The order we received is to wipe out all the rebels and completely quell the rebellion. The rebels have just retreated, but they have not been destroyed. In this case, why say more? Just send troops to destroy them." Liu Jing slapped the table and said.
Hearing this, Sheng Jin felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the soldiers in Jiaozhou are now short of horses and horses, and there are many casualties. I am afraid...it will be difficult to leave the city to fight."
"It doesn't matter, you can continue to repair the city wall and guard Jiaozhou. The matter of leaving the city to fight will be left to me and His Highness the Crown Prince." After saying that, Liu Jing cast a joking look and said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot and does not dare to Going out of town?"
"I am here to exterminate the rebels. It is my duty to go out to fight in the city. There is no need for you to provoke me." Liu Yu snorted coldly, turned around and left. He really didn't want to be in the same space as Liu Jing in front of him, as he would easily get nauseous.
As soon as Liu Yu left, the others immediately followed. Only Li Changkong looked at Liu Jing deeply before slowly turning around and leaving.
He felt that there seemed to be some discrepancies between the Liu Jing in front of him and the Liu Jing in his impression.
