Chapter 480 Bloody cleansing, this matter can only go the way of Zhu Wen
Yang Liyan was a little scheming and he understood the meaning of Li Tianqu’s words. However, for his lord Luo Shaowei, there was no choice. So after hesitating for a moment, he had to thank him and ask the country to send troops as soon as possible.
Before Li Tianqu issued an order to mobilize the army, he summoned Li Zhen to discuss secretly. After giving the message to Yi in person, Li Zhen, who used to be full of bad water, often made him conspiring to plot against others, and then asked:
"Your Majesty, since Luo Shaowei surrendered, all the generals in Wei Bo's army with military power... should they really kill them?"
Li Tianqu glanced at Li Zhen lightly, and replied in a leisurely voice:
"If we take the opportunity to merge Wei, Bo, Chan and Bei into our territory in one fell swoop, the Wei Bo army will be unruly and difficult to control. If we want long-term stability, there is no other way except to cut the mess..."
Li Tianqu looked calm and relaxed, but Li Zhen looked at the past and still shivered for no reason. After all, the Wei Bo army was a big town in the past. Even though the development space between Jin and Wei and other major powers has been suppressed in recent years, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses now... His lord said it lightly, but if we want to eradicate the Wei Bo army faction... are we all the generals in the upper rank of the army included? Then how many lives will be eradicated in one fell swoop?
"Of course, he knew exactly which generals and officials Luo Shaowei could send. This time I sent you to Weizhou to join forces with the trusted troops who followed Luo Shaowei in the name of mediating and appeaseing the Wei Boya army, and designed to eliminate the domineering generals of Weizhou first. As for how to lure those who are in trouble, it is up to you to decide.
After all, it is not broken or established. Since the establishment of the Wei Bo Army, almost all military clans have been born locally, with mixed internal structures and their own factions. In this way, they have developed the habit of a arrogant soldier and powerful general, killing the general and seizing the seal. They have never been subject to the control of the court in the past few hundred years, and have used heavy dictates in troubled times. Only by eradicating them can this chaos be completely ended. Otherwise, how can I allow those domineering soldiers to continue to do evil and cause trouble for the territory of our dynasty in the future?”
After hearing Li Tianqu’s name, he asked him to rush to Weizhou, Li Zhen responded reluctantly, but the pair of eyes were also spinning. He designed a poisonous plan to harm the officials of the Tang court. According to Li Zhen’s original trajectory, how could he compare to the unruly and domineering generals of the Wei Bojun directly?
It is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a villain is even more unwilling to go to the dangerous land. After all, Li Zhen is still a civil servant. Even though he knows that Wei Bo's army is about to cause a bloody storm, he will inevitably feel distressed.
Li Tianqu glanced at Li Zhen's face and said:
"No need to worry too much. The Bianjing Palace Front Office will not only transfer elite troops to Weizhou with you, but also communicate with each other in advance by Ge Congzhou. Our dynasty is powerful, and even if the generals of the Wei Bo army are domineering, they will not dare to make enemies with our dynasty too early.
With your eloquence, you only need to come forward to lure the generals of the Wei Bo army into thinking that I am interested in winning over... Since they already have the intention to mutiny and depose Luo Shaowei, they naturally have to show kindness to our court as a reliance. In order to protect themselves, Luo Shaowei will definitely help you with all his might. As long as he can lure and kill the most powerful warlords in the local area in one fell swoop, I and Ge Congzhou will take advantage of the situation to send troops to shock them, forcing the rest of the people to submit... Then things will be accomplished."
After saying this, Li Zhen had to bow and accept the order with a bitter face. The reason why Li Tianqu deliberately ordered Li Zhen to go to Weizhou was to completely follow the methods of Zhu Wen's dealing with Wei Bo's army in the official history line to completely eradicate the hidden dangers that had lasted for more than two hundred years.
After all, if Zhu Wen received a request from Luo Shaowei for help, he would send Ma Sixun to paralyze those Wei Bo generals who had planned to mutiny and cause chaos. Then he suddenly killed the enemy and joined forces with Luo Shaowei to take the lead in killing all the forces of the Weizhou Yajun. According to historical records, "more than a thousand people stayed in Yacheng at that time, Chi Ming killed them all. All eight thousand families were red in their tribes, and the city was empty."...
In summary, it is to completely erase the Wei Bo warlord family, whose local relations are intricate.
Li Zhen was smart and cunning, and his eloquence was even better than Zhu Wen's subordinates who identified Ma Sixun. Therefore, before carrying out a bloody purge, he should try his best to make the domineering generals of Wei Bo's army relax their vigilance, and he should do his best to take action.
Li Tianqu also knew very well that such deployment methods were too vicious, and it could even be said to be a detriment to good deeds. However, after thinking about it, he had to agree with the method used by Zhu Wen and the Wei Bo Army to swallow up the vassal states, which was indeed the most direct and effective.
After all, in this day, the Wei Bo army formed its own faction in the local area, and was always away from the court. For more than two hundred years, it has been almost always continued by the local family of the sects. The forces were mixed, and they arbitrarily abolished the Jiedus and were extremely xenophobic, and they would not allow outsiders to interfere in their interests. Therefore, the Wei Bo army was rebellious and domineering and usurped the rebellion, which was even much more severe than other vassal states.
It is useless to discuss with the Wei Bo warlords, but it is useless. They may express their obedience because of your strong power, but when they look back, they will definitely rebel and make trouble. Even the governors elected from their internal forces will kill them and kill them as soon as they say they are abolished. How could they allow another emperor to issue orders to them?
The stubborn disease that has been deeply rooted for more than two hundred years has no cure to cure, and it can only be completely eradicated... Li Tianqu sat upright on the sandalwood chair and thought for a while, finally sighed and murmured:
"When it is time to be a hero who wants to achieve hegemony and should be cruel and ruthless, he will definitely hesitate..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
More than half a month later, the Wei Bojun vassal government office was in the uterus.
The banquet that was still very lively just now became a Shura field with blood splattering. A member of Yajun followed the school and widened his eyes. Seeing a team of swords and axemen rushing out of the side hall, before he could scream, he suddenly saw the cold light in front of him, and the broken neck splashed out like blood, spraying directly into the wine bowl in front of him.
Ya general Li Gongqi rebelled and rebelled. Since the arrival of Bozhou, although the rest of the Wei Bo army did not mutiny, most of them watched coldly and saw how Luo Shaowei could deal with it.
It's strange that Wei Bo's military vassal states pushed up several consecutive military governors, almost all of which were killed due to the mutiny of the local yamen army. Moreover, the four military governors were all supported by local warlords. They were originally factions that were grouped together in the local area, but no matter who became the military governor of this vassal state, they would be like a bird that had been ahead of them. After only two generations, they would be killed by their generations of colleagues who supported them.
The King of Ye Luo Shaowei ceded the prime minister and Wei prefectures and submitted a letter to Emperor Li Tianqu, which seriously damaged the interests of the warlords of the square soldiers within Wei Bo... What's more, Luo Hongxin, Luo Shaowei and his son were in charge of the vassal states for two generations. The Wei Bo army was intertwined between the cracks of Liang, Jin, Wei... and other major powers, and they were unable to get rid of the situation of being inferior to others. Then the Luo family's life as a military governor was almost over. Then, the generals of the local sected army family were elected to usurp the throne and seize power. This was after all, it was also the "convention" of the Wei Bo army.
Li Gongqi was the first to rebel openly, and undoubtedly expressed his position as the governor, and it was his turn to sit. The rest of Wei Boya will wait and see the situation for the time being. Even if Luo Shaowei is to be deposed sooner or later, the power of the vassal states is not necessary to entrust it to you, Li Gongqi...
However, when the generals of the Wei Bo army were all thinking about each other, Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei sent envoy Li Zhen to Weizhou to mediate.
After all, no matter who is the governor of the Wei Bo army, no matter who is the military threat of Wei, Li Zhen could not ignore the Wei State's military threat. However, Li Zhen was not only very kind and attentive to meet the local warlord factions of Wei Bo and several parties. During the meeting, the message conveyed to the Wei Bo army was:
The governor of the Wei Bo Army, including the title and salary of the King of Ye, may not have to be occupied by Luo Shaowei. Although our Wei State is unwilling to interfere too much in the matters within the Wei Bo Army, they are bounded by each other's territory after all, so our dynasty is also paying attention to the generals, who can help and benefit our Wei State?
On the one hand, the Wei Bo army generals rejected the interference of external forces, but on the other hand, they had their own ulterior motives. However, everyone needed the support of powerful forces such as Emperor Wei Li Tianqu. Therefore, after Li Zhen lobbying back and forth, they agreed to go to the Dental Office for a banquet.
Therefore, the local warlord faction leaders who had inherited generations of generations rushed to the "Hongmen Banquet" set up by Luo Shaowei and Li Zhen...
