Chapter 854 Hidden Crisis
For the people of the Prince and the Three Guards, they never have to go back to the Three Guards, which is not just about opening up the Reform. They were originally nobles, and they joined the Prince and the Three Guards to scan their faces in front of the future emperor. In this way, after the new emperor ascended the throne, they could have a good future when they remembered this old love.
If you are driven out of the Three Guards by the prince in this way, it is equivalent to offending the future emperor. Will you have a good life? As long as you have no brains, you know how to choose.
This is also the reason why the three guards of the prince will not betray them. Their future and destiny are too closely integrated with the prince and cannot be separated. Li Mu's tiger talisman may not be absolutely useful to them.
No one raised an objection. Li Chengqian was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "It will be tonight. After the city of Qizhou is broken, you will have no less rewards." After pausing, Li Chengqian remembered Li Mu again and added: "The first person to enter the city will reward me-"
Li Chengqian originally wanted to give money, but when he said that, he suddenly realized that he had no money. The East Palace had money, but he could not control that money, but the officials of the East Palace would have dominated. Otherwise, he would not have thought about asking Li Mu for money before.
He now has a lot of "pocket money" in his hands, but only a few dozen chunks of money. This is the salary he paid when he was working as an urban management officer before, and he was unwilling to spend it. But since it was saved, he didn't plan to spend it. Even if he took out all the money, it would be a drop in the bucket. None of the people who can survive in the third guard of the prince is from a bad family. If they talk about money, they would be more generous than Li Chengqian.
"——A bounty of a gold medal to remember merits!"
When everyone heard the word "gold medal", they immediately cheered.
The gold medals that everyone said were not gold medals from later generations, but gold medals that they would certainly play. He represented a promise from the prince. Although it was not stated clearly, if he could get this gold medal in the heart of the prince's three guards, it would be like having a title in the prince's heart. In the future, the prince ascended the throne, they would be promoted first.
Isn’t it just for joining the Prince’s Three Guards?
It is as powerful as a rainbow.
"The man holds grass and horse holds a piece of cake. I quietly touched the city gate hole. I heard a gong sound. Let's start together. Do you understand?"
Li Chengqian was afraid that Li Mu would find out, so he made the final instructions to the three guards. The generals nodded to show that they understood. Li Chengqian waved his hand and led the crowd out of the military tent.
One thousand,500 soldiers from the Third Guards quietly left the camp. When the soldiers in the Zhechong Mansion camp next to him saw it, no one dared to stand up and ask. Those were the three guards of the Prince. The status difference between them and the soldiers in the Zhechong Mansion in places was too great, and they were basically staying away from each other.
In this way, Li Mu's negligence, Li Chengqian took 1,500 people from the Prince's Three Guards to attack the city.
The result can be imagined.
...
Li Mu discovered that the three guards were missing in the early morning. He was about to go to bed when he suddenly felt restless and was thinking about Li Chengqian, so he walked out to see it. It didn't matter when he saw it, and his soul was scared. Li Chengqian was not in the house and touched the bedboard, without any heat. It was obvious that he had been away for a long time.
When Li Mu ran out and found that the camp of the Three Guards was empty, he immediately understood what Li Chengqian was going to do. Before he could blame anyone, he ordered the camp to be pulled out, and rushed to Qizhou in a hurry.
But it was too late. When he arrived at the city of Qizhou, he saw the three guards who were trapped in a heavy siege. Li Mu quickly ordered the army to cover up and kill. Seeing that the imperial court was crowded, the soldiers and horses of Qizhou did not dare to take it forward. They left Li Chengqian and the three guards and retreated like a tide.
Li Mu ordered people to bring back the remaining troops of the three guards and retreated to camp for two miles.
The sky is gloomy and noon is over, so it is not advisable to fight again. It is over on the first day.
...
Inside the military tent, Li Mu looked at the three guards kneeling on the ground, his face as gloomy as water.
The generals of the three guards also knew that they had committed the death penalty. They knelt straight and did not dare to look up at Li Mu's eyes. Li Chengqian stood beside him, with the boy's face full of dissatisfaction and shame.
He did not see any preparations for the Qizhou rebels along the way, and Li Chengqian's stereotype of Li You made him look down on him. He even thought that he could conquer Qizhou City with his own 1,500 guards alone.
He forgot that no matter how ridiculous Li You was, no matter how unreliable the talents under his command were. He still owned a state, and the money and food and soldiers he raised in this state would not be defeated head-on by 1,500 people. How weak would he be?
Also, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of the three guards of the prince.
Unlike the veterans of Zhechong Mansion and the soldiers of the Tunwei, the three princes and guards were all raw. They had never experienced real battles and did not know how to fight. Everything about the war was still at the stage of talking about war on paper. In addition, Li Chengqian, an unreliable commander, would be a traitor if he could win.
However, the usual training was not lost, nor was it in vain. Being besieged by several times the force of our own, I could still hold on until Li Mu arrived, and there were not too many casualties. This tenacity was not easy.
Li Mu looked at the people in front of him and really didn't know what to do.
If it is an ordinary general or an ordinary soldier, it is very simple. Those who violate military orders will be beheaded and displayed in public. But Li Chengqian is not an ordinary general after all, and the prince’s three guards are not ordinary soldiers. It is absolutely impossible for him to do things in public.
But if they are not dealt with, these people have actually violated military rules.
"Why do you guys leave the camp without authorization?" Li Mu looked at the generals of the three guards and said slowly.
Someone must take responsibility, but this person cannot be Li Chengqian. Li Mu said so, just avoiding the important things. As long as these generals admit that they left the camp without authorization, then they can blame them for the mistakes, and Li Mu will not kill them. But their future is over.
This is not unfair, because they violated the military orders, and in the army, they deserve to be executed even if they violate the military orders. Li Mu only ends their future, which is already considered to be polite.
Several generals also understood Li Mu's meaning.
Leaving the camp without authorization and violating military orders, both charges were enough to die. They were not unaware of it, but they just thought that if they could conquer Qizhou, the blame would be punished. Who would have thought that they would almost capsize the gutter? If Li Mu had brought his troops later just now, he could not resist the Qizhou soldiers, resulting in Li Chengqian being captured. Not only did they lose their lives, but their lives would definitely not be able to be saved.
Several people were scared and regretful. After hearing Li Mu's words, they all admitted it even though they knew that the prince was willing to exonerate such a promising prince, and kowtowed and said, "Marty, we are aware of the crime."
"Since you are aware of your crime, there is nothing to say." Li Mu took the sandalwood box, opened it, took out the tiger talisman, and said, "I will sentence you to-"
"General!" Li Chengqian finally couldn't help but speak, "Everything is my idea, and I should take the blame. They acted on my orders, and so many people were killed and injured. Please let them go and don't punish them."
"You get it?"
Li Mu sneered and said, "What crime can you take? If you are the prince, do you have privileges?"
Li Mu approached Li Chengqian, stared at his eyes, and said sternly: "Do you know, because of your whim, how many people died today? Three hundred and fifty-two people! They are all living people with parents, wives, and children! They could not have died, but because of your decision, they are dead now. Do you take the blame? How do you take it?"
Li Mu grabbed the Longquan sword and threw it on the ground, saying, "Come on, don't you want to take the crime? Shangfang sword is here, you can take the crime!"
Li Chengqian was scolded by Li Mu in a daze. He squatted down in a daze and reached out to pick up the Longquan sword on the ground. Seeing this, the generals hurriedly hugged Li Chengqian and stopped him from doing stupid things.
"If you can't bear the responsibility, don't say anything to take the crime!" Li Mu sarcastically, grabbed the tiger talisman and shouted: "Come here, I will deprive Li Yu of his army of vanguard and detain him. When I report to Your Majesty, I will let Your Majesty decide. The rest of the people will be punished with twenty whips, and will be reborn as the prince's three guards, and will never be hired again."
No one dared to raise objections. Li Mu was silent for a moment and said, "As for the dead, I will report to Your Majesty and give me preferential treatment."
Li Chengqian burst into tears: "Thank you, brother."
"Please get close to me. Come and detain you!" Li Mu asked someone to capture Li Chengqian and threw it into a separate military tent. Sixteen soldiers were guarded without dead corners around. Now, it was harder than climbing to the sky to escape.
Li Mu's uneasiness was still not small.
When he came outside Qizhou City, Li Mu found that what he thought before was still somewhat different from the reality he saw, and the deviation was quite large.
Li You was not prepared at all. Look at the Qizhou City in front of him. The city wall has been reinforced, and on the original basis, it has been lifted up by more than one meter. Now it is shooting from below, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to shoot bows and arrows onto the battlements.
New designs have also been made on the sides of the city wall.
(I haven't finished writing something today, post it first, and cover it later, and refresh it again in fifteen minutes." "Stop getting close to me, come and detain you!" Li Mu asked someone to capture Li Chengqian and threw it into a separate military tent. Sixteen soldiers were guarded without dead corners around. Now, Li Chengqian wanted to escape, which was more difficult than climbing to the sky.
