Chapter 519 Duke Jin Jun(1/2)
More than three thousand soldiers and horses walked into the emperor's camp during the Ming Dynasty. After picking up Concubine Yang, they left the camp in a big way and killed the imperial troops who blocked them.
The reputation of the Anxi Army was once again famous in both the government and the public. This time the emperor and his ministers saw with their own eyes how powerful the Anxi Army was, and how sharp the Anxi Army's coach Gu Qing was.
The legendary Anxi Iron Army appeared in front of them alive, and mercilessly killed the Imperial Guards and turned them upside down. Finally, they left easily and gracefully, just like the guests after a banquet, returning home happily.
After Gu Qing left, no one of the generals of the Forbidden Army dared to mobilize their troops to pursue him. No one even dared to send scouts to inquire about the movements of the Anxi Army. They were afraid that Gu Qing would get angry and lead his army back to kill him.
It wasn't until the Anxi Army left for half an hour that the fleeing Imperial Army gradually gathered again.
After being brutally killed by the Anxi Army, the Forbidden Army no longer had the momentum to mutiny. Especially what Gu Qing said before leaving, that instead of going to the battlefield to kill the rebels, he would instead have trouble with a woman. This sentence touched many people.
Due to human shame, even if some people with ulterior motives want to instigate continued mutiny, the soldiers are no longer interested.
Chen Xuanli stood up at this time. He had to stand up. Gu Qing said that he would help him calm down the situation first and teach the Imperial Army a lesson. After the lesson was learned, it would be the best time to clean up this mess.

At this time, Gu Qing and An Xijun have left, so it is the most appropriate time to step forward.
Calling all the Forbidden Army together, Chen Xuanli never mentioned that the Forbidden Army was penetrated by the Mo Dao Camp of the Anxi Army just now, as if this incident had never happened. Chen Xuanli stood in front of the team, raised his finger and pointed at several generals in the middle of the team, and ordered
They were taken down and tied up.
The generals who were captured were the ones who incited the mutiny tonight. As one of the planners who acquiesced in the mutiny, Chen Xuanli naturally knew these people well. To suppress the mutiny at this time, these generals must be brought to light.
Punishment, gouge them out like abscesses on the skin.
Several generals were shocked and angry. They did not expect that Chen Xuanli had agreed to join the prince, but at this moment he changed his mind and dared to attack them.
The generals became furious and were about to accuse Chen Xuanli of being involved, but Chen Xuanli said nothing and ordered them to be beheaded in front of the Forbidden Army officers without even trying them.
Several heads fell to the ground, and when the Forbidden Army soldiers were trembling in fear, Chen Xuanli simply ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons and kneel down facing the gate of the post station.
After the soldiers of the Forbidden Army obeyed the order and put down their weapons and knelt down to worship, Li Longji was tremblingly helped out by Gao Lishi.
Chen Xuanli knelt down and knelt down towards Li Longji and said loudly: "Your Majesty is frightened. General Chen Xuanli is willing to swear to be loyal to your Majesty forever."
With Chen Xuanli taking the lead, and the morale of the Forbidden Army soldiers having collapsed after being killed by the Anxi Army, and several generals who participated in the incitement were beheaded, the Forbidden Army soldiers were very aware of current affairs and said in unison: "I would like to swear to be loyal to His Majesty forever."
Li Longji had tears in his eyes, and with trembling hands, he asked the soldiers to get down. He also issued an order to reward all the soldiers with money, and promised to return the government to the capital after the rebellion was suppressed. All the soldiers of the imperial army were given twenty acres of land.
Li Longji had been emperor for decades, so he naturally understood people's hearts very well. After receiving the reward, Li Longji tremblingly knelt down towards the east in front of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and solemnly swore that all emperors of the Tang Dynasty would never pursue the matter of tonight's mutiny by the Forbidden Army.
, If you violate this oath, the ancestors of the Li Tang Sheji Foundation will not bless you.
The oath was very poisonous, and the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army breathed a sigh of relief, and the morale of the army, which had dropped to the bottom, slowly recovered. Not long after, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army suddenly cheered, and knelt down again to express their loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and vowed to protect the safety of the Emperor's Holy Emperor.
Arrive in Shuzhong.
Li Longji also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that tonight's fatal storm was over.
The biggest contributor to resolving this turmoil was not Chen Xuanli, but Gu Qing. If he hadn't ordered the killing of the mutinous Forbidden Army and let Modao Camp teach them a painful lesson, the fearless Forbidden Army would have been unable to calm down and continue to mutiny.
The consequences could be disastrous.
He knew that Gu Qing was the biggest contributor, but Li Longji was unwilling to admit that he was the hero.
A fact that has to be admitted is that the mutiny started tonight, and the power of the Tang Dynasty's ministers has gradually expanded, and there are faint signs of overriding the monarch's power. This is a very bad sign. On the surface, the crisis has been resolved, but at the root
The crisis is getting more serious.
Gu Qing, will he be the second An Lushan?
Li Longji couldn't help but feel heavier when he thought about this problem. After the disaster was over, he recalled the matter from the beginning. Li Longji was shocked to realize that compared to the mutiny of the Imperial Army and the invasion of the palace, Gu Qing's ambition and the terrifying combat power of the Anxi Army were more terrifying.
After appeasing the Forbidden Army soldiers, Li Longji turned around and returned to the inn.
The moment he turned around, the gentle smile on Li Longji's face quickly disappeared, his face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were gloomy.
Gao Lishi walked half-bowed behind Li Longji. The master and servant walked through the front yard of the post station, and after comforting hundreds of shocked courtiers, Li Longji and Gao Lishi returned to the bedroom in his backyard.
In front of Gao Lishi, Li Longji did not have to hide any emotions. He was the person Li Longji trusted the most, more than his own son.
"How many Forbidden Army soldiers were killed by Modao Camp tonight?" Li Longji asked.
Gao Lishi was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Longji's first sentence was to ask this question. He thought for a while and said: "The fighting outside the inn tonight was fierce. According to the casualties reported by the generals, about two thousand Forbidden Army soldiers died in the street.
Under the sword of the sword camp..."
"What are the casualties at Modao Camp?"
Gao Lishi smiled bitterly and said: "Mo Dao is airtight when swung, and it is impossible to break the formation. There are almost no casualties in the Modao camp."
Li Longji's face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "What a brave warrior, but it's a pity..."
"If Your Majesty is willing, we might as well form the Modao Camp after the Holy Emperor arrives in Shuzhong..." Gao Lishi suggested softly.
Li Longji shook his head: "Mo Dao Camp is not so easy to set up. Not only does it cost money, it is also not easy to find a Mo Dao swordsman. More importantly, it requires a Mo Dao general who knows how to train. It is really difficult for Gu Qing.
In the desolate place on the border of Anxi, how did he get together three thousand swordsmen?"
Sighing with a heavy face, Li Longji said: "Gu Qing and the Anxi Army are so powerful that they may no longer be able to control them."
Gao Lishi was shocked: "Your Majesty means..."
Li Longji said nothing and looked at the sky outside the house.
The sky has turned white and dawn is approaching.
The mutiny has subsided, but there is still no joy on Li Longji's face. Instead, it looks even heavier.
Gao Lishi already understood Li Longji's thoughts. Although he had a good impression of Gu Qing, his position was always on Li Longji's side. Seeing that Li Longji was already afraid of Gu Qing, Gao Lishi bowed and whispered
He said: "If Your Majesty wants to reduce his power, it is better to do it as soon as possible. If you wait until the rebellion is suppressed before doing so, I am afraid that Gu Qing will become the second Anlu Mountain and it will be too late to do away with it."
Li Longji was shocked, then shook his head and sighed dejectedly.
Now, how can he still have half the majesty and power of the emperor? The only 20,000 imperial troops around him have just been pacified and calmed down. As for the counter-rebellion troops scattered across the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji no longer has any confidence in mobilizing them.
Gao Lishi tentatively said: "Your Majesty, why don't you change the head coach of the Anxi Army? With an imperial edict, give Gu Qing a great empty position, and even promote him to the next level of nobility. Then transfer him to your Majesty's side and lose his military power."
Gu Qing has nothing to worry about."
Li Longji shook his head: "It's not that simple. You saw the appearance of Modao Camp today, and you also saw with your own eyes how majestic Gu Qing is in the Anxi Army. If I change the commander rashly, I'm afraid it will arouse the hatred of Gu Qing and the Anxi Army.
If Gu Qing and the Anxi Army also rebel against the Tang Dynasty, my country will really have no hope..."
After a pause, Li Longji said thoughtfully: "I heard a loud thunder-like sound tonight. Was it from the Anxi Army?"
Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "I forgot to mention, Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses that Gu Qing brought tonight are not only the Mo Dao camp, but also a strange troop ambushing outside the camp. That thunderous noise is the Anxi Army."
The ambush was launched..."
"The old slave listened to the discussion of the Forbidden Army and said that these soldiers and horses were holding a very strange weapon, like a straight iron pipe. They were far away at that time and no one dared to come forward and take a closer look, but the iron pipe spurted out
After the sparks made a loud noise, hundreds of forbidden troops fell down two hundred steps away. It was very scary..."
Li Longji's expression changed again: "Have you checked carefully?"
"When His Majesty was appeasing the Forbidden Army, the old slave went to check the corpses of the Forbidden Army and found that they all had a small round blood hole on their bodies. The old slave also asked some of the Forbidden Army who were only wounded but not dead. They said they heard the giant
After the sound, I didn’t have time to react, so I felt a pain somewhere on my body, and when I lowered my head and looked again, there was a bloody hole in my body.”
"A doctor accompanying the army dug open the wound and found a small iron pellet in the wound. The fatal thing was this small iron pellet. It must have been shot from the strange iron pipe of the Anxi Army..."
Li Longji's face became increasingly ugly: "Gu Qing...where did he get this weapon? The Anxi Army is already threatening the country. If we add this weapon, how can the Tang Dynasty be peaceful?"
Gao Lishi's face didn't look good either.
If Gu Qing really abides by his duties as a minister, he should report to the court immediately after getting such a sharp weapon and dedicate it to the emperor. But from the time he appeared to the time he left tonight, Gu Qing did not mention a single word about the sharp weapon, but just before leaving.
But he took it out to show off his power. It didn't seem to be to attack the enemy at all, but to frighten the emperor and make him even more afraid of him.
From this point of view, Gu Qing now indeed has a disobedient heart, and His Majesty's worries are not without reason.
Gao Lishi gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to pass the order and ask Gu Qing about the origin and making of this sharp weapon..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Longji glanced at him coldly and said, "If you are Gu Qing and have disloyal intentions, will you be honest in front of the imperial edict?"
Gao Lishi paused, lowered his head and stopped talking.
For a long time, Gao Lishi sighed quietly: "Is there no way to check and balance Gu Qing in the world?"
Li Longji closed his eyes and meditated. After the mutiny of the Forbidden Army subsided, Li Longji returned to the emperor who was good at calculating people's hearts.
After a long time, Li Longji suddenly said: "I am going to release some power..."
Gao Lishi looked at him puzzled.
Li Longji continued: "According to my decree, Prince Li Heng is made the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses, and Guo Ziyi and Gao Xianzhi are appointed Deputy Marshals of the World's Arms and Horses. The Marshal of Arms and Horses has the power to restrain the imperial court and quell the rebellion of the king's divisions. All Qinwang Jiedu
The soldiers and horses must be ordered to be commanders and commanders..."
Gao Lishi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still remembered it.
Seeing Li Longji suddenly paused, Gao Lishi couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, Gu Qing's Anxi Army is said to be the king's division that can best fight the rebels. If he is not named deputy marshal, I'm afraid..."
Li Longji smiled faintly and said: "Gu Qing has meritorious service in escorting the emperor. It is said that he also contributed to the great victory of Yingshui. Of course, he was also promoted..."
After a pause, Li Longji continued: "Gu Qing of the Jin Dynasty was appointed as the Duke of Shuzhou. Five hundred households were added to the city, and he was granted the title of Situ. He was granted the title of Zuopushe and the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was also given a thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of silk..."
The more Gao Lishi listened, the more surprised he became. He was puzzled at first, but when he thought about it again, he immediately admired Li Longji and fell into admiration.
