Although Li Xu was extremely nervous, after all, the other party held military power. If he made a desperate move, all Taolin Party officials would inevitably be purged.
So now Li Xu is going all out and giving it a try.
Li Xu must convince the other party, otherwise he will bear the brunt and serve the country with his own life.
"General, does he know how much money the Marquis of Qin invested in communicating orders?"
"I'm afraid even the Marquis of Qin himself can't tell the exact number, but there are stations all over from Kyoto to the north. Each station has at least eight horses waiting to be conquered."
"With the speed of a messenger, we can reach the north in one day and one night."
"Even though the people of Qin are far apart in the capital of Beidi, Beixi County's crown prince Li Zhang, county magistrate Lin Quqi, general Xu Mo, and even Mrs. Qin can all make the decision and send troops to aid the capital."
"General, let me tell you another news. The three thousand vanguards you sent have been killed!"
If the previous remarks were all threats, then Li Xu's last words were a naked slap in the face.
At this moment, the messenger ran over and stood at the camp gate, holding a long pole with Zhao Yu's head tied to it, and roared loudly.
"General Black Lieutenant has ordered that the rebel general Zhao Yu's head should be sent to all armies for circulation. This is the end of the rebellion!"
"Who dares to follow suit and raze the nine tribes?"
The messenger held up Zhao Yu's head, circled back and forth, and then rushed towards the Dongying garrison.
Li Xu's confidence soared, and when he turned around again, all the generals, including General Dongying, were silent.
Three thousand vanguards were wiped out just like that...
This speed is too fast.
Even if it was ambushed, it would be impossible to be defeated so completely, unless...
Not unless, but necessarily!
Qin Feng secretly sent veterans to the Dragon and Tiger Army to impart experience, or simply dispatched soldiers from the Dragon and Tiger Army to join the northern troops and fight together. After learning experience, he sent them back to the Dragon and Tiger Army.
Otherwise, it is unexplainable that the same garrison in Gyeonggi Province has such a huge difference in combat effectiveness.
Li Xu's tone became even sharper: "The matter has come to this, what is there to hesitate about?"
"The East and West Camps plus a garrison, although the strength of the troops stabilizes the Dragon and Tiger Army, the general has also seen that there is a huge difference in combat power!"
"Even if the Dragon and Tiger Army is defeated in the end, it can be delayed long enough. Before the general can consolidate the city defense, troops from the north will arrive one after another."
"Facing the general, who has just experienced a national war and has been wrestling with Beidi in Sangzhou, what are the chances of winning?"
General Dongying closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
This rebellion is doomed to fail.
The biggest reason for failure was that he failed to win over the Qin family.
"If I give up, can I really save my life?"
Faced with the general's question, Li Xu blurted out without even thinking: "If we say let's forget the past, this is absolutely impossible. The general should understand that neither His Majesty nor the Marquis of Qin are merciful people."
"Such a stain of rebellion can never be washed away."
"Only when His Majesty returns to Beijing, everything is settled properly, and the general hands over his military power can he and his family be saved."
"In addition, Lieutenant Qin also made a special statement that as long as the general pulls back from the brink, all the general's property in the capital can be taken back to the countryside for retirement."
As for this, General Dongying could only compromise.
After all, when Li Yong decided to rebel, General Dongying strongly opposed it. After all, it was too hasty, and without the support of the Qin family, it might not be possible.
But Li Yong chose to gamble, and the others had no choice.
Facts have proved that fortune is not on Li Yong's side.
What happened in the East Camp was also happening in the West Camp and the garrison at the same time.
Wu Mian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, rushed to Xiying to lobby, while the minister of Taichang Temple rushed to the garrison.
No one is a fool. They will accompany Li Yong to death even if they know they will lose.
By daybreak, this earth-shattering rebellion had been suppressed.
In the Imperial Study Room of the Forbidden Palace, Li Yong sat behind the Dragon Case, listening to the report of the Forbidden Army, his face turned pale.
"What... the East and West Camps have surrendered? There are only four garrison troops in the entire Gyeonggi Province, and the East and West Camps plus one garrison can't defeat the Dragon and Tiger Army?"
"How's it going with the garrison?"
The Forbidden Army's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he responded in a deep voice: "Qing Taichang Temple has been in contact with the commander-in-chief of the garrison. Even if the commander-in-chief deliberately favors His Highness, after learning the news of the surrender of the East and West Camps, I'm afraid..."
Before the Imperial Guard could finish speaking, Li Yong had already waved his hand to interrupt. He leaned back on his chair and gave a feeble smile.
"Taishan was defeated, and Kyoto was also defeated."
"I originally thought that Qin Feng's absence in Kyoto would be my best opportunity. I never expected that Qin Feng would be so well-prepared, and his back would be airtight and watertight..."
Li Yong closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he was already crazy.
"I haven't lost yet!"
"Xiao Zhuozi, where is Xiao Zhuozi?"
Not long after, Xiao Zhuozi hurried into the hall. Before Li Yong could ask questions, he knelt on the ground and wailed uncontrollably.
"Your Highness, this slave deserves to die for letting Li Yuxiao escape from under his nose."
What? !
Li Yong couldn't believe his ears. This was a forbidden palace, and everyone was his own. Li Yuxiao couldn't escape even if he had wings, but... the impossible became possible...
Li Yong gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Zhuozi.
Ever since Xiao Zhuozi followed Li Yong, he had never seen Li Yong show such a crazy and terrifying look, and he shuddered for a moment.
"Who on earth betrayed me!"
Li Yong swallowed his saliva and became extremely nervous.
"When the slave led people into Mingyue Palace, Li Xiaolan and the two girls had already escaped for a long time, and there were only three lowly imposter slaves left in the palace."
"But... before the servants could ask questions, they took poison and committed suicide."
"There is no evidence. It is impossible to find out who brought them into Mingyue Palace and who betrayed His Highness."
Li Yong sat back on the dragon chair slumped. He knew in his heart that this must be Qin Feng's arrangement. Qin Feng had already infiltrated him.
"Haha, it's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous."
"Qin Feng established the Jin Yiwei with his own hands, and he is no worse than Hei Wei. Qin Feng is a spy chief himself. He knows that this palace may be detrimental to him, so how can he sit idly by and ignore it?"
"I don't believe anyone, you may all be Qin Feng's eyes and ears!"
"Get out of here, get out of here!"
Li Yong's crazy voice kept echoing in the imperial study room, and the news soon spread to Guanyin Temple.
The queen and the eldest princess knelt in front of the Guanyin statue, with their hands clasped together, showing great piety.
The Imperial Guard stood outside the door and reported in a low voice.
"Your Highness the Queen, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, the defeat has been decided."
