Rebirth Wenli Yangfulang

Chapter 43 The Rebellion

Yunlan regained her surname Chi and left Chunxue Pavilion, her whole body became transparent as if she had been reborn.

Seeing such a change in him, Luo Chengyu couldn't help being happy for him, and seeing that he had no source of income, he introduced him to the academy to help.Su Yao is not an imposing person, so he agreed after a little bit of awkwardness.

In this way, the protagonist Shou and Bai Yueguang in the original plot became colleagues and gradually became friends.

On the other hand, after the end of the Spring Festival, Sanjia and other Jinshi were assigned to errands one after another.

At this time, an urgent message was sent into the palace.

The governor of the Southwest was killed, and the King of the Southwest rebelled.

The matter came too suddenly, and the emperor was furious, and immediately summoned the important ministers to discuss the matter.

The terrain in the southwest is complex and the folk customs are tough, which is a difficult bone for the imperial court.The emperor decided to send troops to quell the rebellion, but the ministers disagreed on the leading generals.Some people recommend the fourth prince, while others recommend the fifth prince.

The fourth prince is self-willed, and the fifth prince is greedy for pleasure, how could the emperor not know?

The emperor's heart is like a mirror, countering the rebellion is a major matter related to the survival of the court, and the two princes are not available.But if ordinary generals are used, the voice of using the prince as handsome will still be heard endlessly.

When Li Chengyun was summoned into the palace, he had already received news from the Southwest, and also heard from Zhao Le that the ministers had disagreements over the generals who went to the expedition.

The emperor said straight to the point: "Cheng Yun, the king of the Southwest rebelled, are you willing to go out to suppress the rebellion?"

"The minister is willing to go."

Li Chengyun wanted military power, and there was a battle he wanted to fight the most, the Northern Expedition to avenge his father.

The emperor ordered Li Chengyun to be the commander-in-chief, and sent troops to the expedition.

As soon as the news came out, Man Chao was shocked, but he felt that it was expected after being surprised.

At this time, Li Chengyun was asking the emperor for a favor, and he wanted to take Luo Chengyu with him.

"Wars are always dangerous. If the princess is with you, can you rest assured of his safety?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the concubine is not a woman. He is well-educated and full of ambition. Going out with the minister can not only relieve the minister's pain of lovesickness, but also provide suggestions for countering the rebellion."

"Relief of the pain of lovesickness is what you want."

"Your Majesty is very careful, and I dare not lie to you."

"You are sincere." The emperor looked at him with heavy eyes, "Cheng Yun, you and my nephew, I will tell you the truth. It has always been a general rule to stay in Beijing when the generals go to war. In Beijing as a pledge."

"Uncle, apart from Cheng Yu, Cheng Yun's relatives also include you and the Queen Mother."

"I cannot set this precedent."

Li Chengyun left disappointed.

The expedition was imminent, and Li Chengyun asked Luo Chengyu to stay with him at all times, taking him in and out of various government offices and military camps.Luo Chengyu was in the same mood, his heart was full of reluctance and worry.

He accompanied him in negotiating with the officials of the Ministry of War to dispatch troops, and he also accompanied him in negotiating with the officials of the Ministry of Households on food, grass and military pay.

Two days later, Li Chengyun led his troops to the expedition.

Luo Chengyu stood on the city wall and looked at the direction the army was leaving, unwilling to leave for a long time.In the end, it was Su Yao and Chi Lan who persuaded him to leave.

During the rest during the march, Li Chengyun saw Su Qin and Wang Luochen without any surprise.

Su Qin scratched his head, smiled innocently and said, "My lord, let's earn some military merit."

Wang Luochen said: "I said I wanted to come to the prince, but he insisted on coming too."

Li Chengyun was worried that he would not see Luo Chengyu for a long time, so the two of them stuffed him with dog food, and they felt jealous immediately.

Li Chengzhe trotted over and said excitedly: "You guys are here too, we are comrades in the same military camp again."

Su Qin patted Li Chengzhe's shoulder hard, "Good boy, he has grown up with the prince."

Li Chengyun transferred Su Qin and Wang Luochen to his side.

In the book, although Wang Luochen killed the Southwest King in the end, both he and Su Qin were lost in this battle against the rebellion.

Li Chengyun wanted to keep them alive.

When approaching the southwest, the king of the Southwest had proclaimed himself emperor and conquered three cities.

Li Chengyun ordered to set up camp and discuss with the generals the strategy of regaining the lost ground.

The general in charge of leading the army under the King of Southwest is a well-known titan. He was as famous as Li Dongyi more than ten years ago.

The general couldn't hold out, no matter how much the people under the city gate yelled and scolded, they wouldn't open the door to fight.

Li Chengyun found a guide and asked about the terrain carefully.Taking advantage of the high morale of the soldiers, they regained a city in one go.

When they went down three cities in a row and entered the Southwest King's fiefdom, Li Chengyun only felt that it was too smooth, so he had to be cautious.

He ordered to camp on the spot to rest and send additional scouts.

Su Qin asked puzzledly: "The rebel army retreated steadily, and our army's morale soared. Why didn't the prince take advantage of the victory to pursue?"

Li Chengyun didn't answer him, but asked Wang Luochen: "What does Luochen think?"

Wang Luochen frowned slightly, and thought deeply: "The rebel army was able to capture three cities before we arrived, which shows that their combat power is not weak. When fighting with our army, they retreated too quickly, as if they deliberately lured our army into deep .”

Li Chengyun nodded appreciatively, and pointed to them from the sand table, "There is a corridor in this canyon, which is a must pass, and it is also the easiest to set up an ambush, which can make the army come and go. If the king is the opponent's general, he will never Let go of this great location."

Wang Luochen said: "My lord, we need to create another one."

"Exactly." Li Chengyun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dignified expression, "Luo Chen, Su Qin, I want to leave this matter to you."

"My lord please tell me."

"I've already arranged a guide. You take a few people and pretend to find a new route for the army to pass."

"Yes!"

After Su Qin and Wang Luochen set off, Li Chengyun sent a small team to pretend to attack, more like testing the truth.

Sure enough, the rebel generals saw that the imperial army was testing the truth, pretended to counterattack aggressively, and then retreated while defending if they couldn't fight.

Many people can't see through the truth and falsehood, and even Li Chengyun almost suspects that his worries are unfounded.

However, Li Chengyun had already sent Su Qin and Wang Luochen out, and he would definitely wait for news from them.

Finally, Su Qin and Wang Luochen lived up to everyone's expectations and brought back good news. They found a dense forest that they could detour through.

In the book, the anti-insurgency incident in the Southwest is almost briefly mentioned, only the ending without the process.

Li Chengyun has no plot for reference, let alone how Su Qin and others died in battle. The unknown in the war is frightening, and it also arouses the desire of these young and brave soldiers to challenge.

The dense forest is a primeval forest with dense trees covering the sky and the sun, and at the other end of the dense forest is a hidden primitive tribe.

Fortunately, one of the court's guides had walked through this dense forest many years ago.If not, Li Chengyun would not dare to let the army go this way even if he wanted to fight the rebels in the canyon.

Standing at the entrance of the dense forest, Li Chengyun suddenly thought of the horror scenes in the movie, such as giant pythons, poisonous insects, and dark rivers, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

Li Chengzhe asked: "Cousin, do you want to move on?"

Li Chengyun took a deep breath and said, "Go get the military doctor."

"Yes." Li Chengzhe turned his horse's head and invited one of the military doctors over in person.

Li Chengyun said to the military doctor: "Is there any medicine to repel insects and snakes?"

After a little thought, the military doctor guessed Li Chengyun's intentions, and replied with a serious expression: "Yes, but not many."

Li Chengyun said: "Distribute all of them immediately, and at the same time, you speed up the preparation."

"Yes."

Then, Li Chengyun sent an order to move forward, ordering everyone to pay attention and follow the front troops closely.

However, deep in the dense forest, a dense group of poisonous ants are grinding their teeth and waiting to suck blood.

The poisonous ants moved at a fast speed, swishing towards the army.

Immediately, there were screams, and the person bitten by the poisonous ants immediately became red and swollen, and then died suddenly.

The insect repellent powder was quickly sprinkled out, and the ant colony retreated.

Li Chengyun clenched his hands into fists and ordered to move on.The longer they stay in the dense forest, the more dangerous it is, and they can't afford it.

Walking out of the range of the ant colony, they were greeted by a dozen savages.

A guide stepped forward to communicate. Although Li Chengyun couldn't understand their language, he knew that seeing a figure meant that he was about to leave the dense forest.

Suddenly, the spear in the wildling's hand pierced the guide's chest.

The wildlings attacked the army.They are not many in number, but they are better at being familiar with dense forests and flexible in action.

For a while, even a large army couldn't do anything about a dozen of them.

Li Chengyun gestured to Li Jiu, and Li Jiu, who was following Li Chengyun as a soldier, immediately jumped up, moved quickly among the towering trees, and then brought one of the savages to Li Chengyun.

The guide translated Li Chengyun's words, indicating that there was no malice, and hoped that they could make excuses.

Then, the savage's words were also translated by the guide, which made Li Chengyun stunned.It turns out that the road to the dense forest was also considered by the rebels.

The King of Southwest had already sent someone to this primitive tribe to be a lobbyist, saying how dangerous the imperial army was, they were monsters that ate people and drank blood.

Primitive tribes with little contact with the outside world were quickly brainwashed.

Wang Luochen used his perfect tongue, he said a sentence, and the guide translated it, making the savage nod his head frequently.

Li Chengyun let the savage go back, and then the savage brought a leader-like figure to the front of the army quickly.

Although this primitive tribe is barbaric and uncivilized, it is unexpectedly simple, otherwise it would not be used as a spear by the Southwest King.

Before sunset, when they walked out of the dense forest led by the savages, the army of the Southwest King was waiting in full force, and suddenly broke out from the other side, fighting with the imperial army.

This battle, hand to hand combat, is a real fight.

It was not until late at night, when both armies suffered heavy losses, that the rebels retreated.

The moon is bright and clear in the sky, and corpses are strewn all over the ground.

Li Chengyun came from modern times, and it was the first time he went to the battlefield. If he hadn't been strong enough, always remembering that he was the commander of the whole army, his mentality would have collapsed.While asking people to count the number of casualties, he asked people to appease the implicated tribes, and then moved on.

Luo Chengyu, who was far away in the capital, woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.

He dreamed that something happened to Li Chengyun.

Luo Chengyu got up and got out of bed, asked someone to light the lamp, took out the latest safety letter he received and read it over and over again, trying to seek comfort, and then wrote a letter home for Xiao Shi to find someone to send to the southwest.

The next morning, Luo Chengyu came to the Marquis of Changning.

Although the hidden guards would pass on Li Chengyun's news to him, Luo Chengyu still wanted to hear the court's battle report.

Li Dongxu is Li Chengyun's third uncle and the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Luo Chengyu waited until Li Dongxu came back from court, and when he asked Li Dongxu about the situation in the Southwest, the old lady of the Hou Mansion and others also looked at Li Dongxu anxiously.

Li Dongxu said with a smile: "The good news just arrived this morning, the three cities captured by the Southwest King have all been recovered."

Immediately, the old lady and the others became happy, but Luo Chengyu was still uneasy.

Luo Chengyu asked, "Third Uncle, is there enough food and grass? How soon is the battle report from the southwest to the capital?"

Li Dongxu knew that he was worried about Li Chengyun, so he said in a gentle voice: "Princess, don't worry too much. With me in the military department and your fourth uncle in the household department, the prince will return in triumph."
