After sorting out the troops and counting the casualties, many more large and small tents were placed in the open space to the south of Guancheng County. Only then did the 60,000 elite capital troops brought by Li Jing set up camp. The generals of the army outside the city to the east and west

, I naturally want to come over and pay a visit to Li Jing, the general manager of the march in Henan Province, and report on the battle situation in the past two days!

After meeting with the generals of the army, Tiedan walked in and bowed: "General Manager, I was just observing the situation in the city with a telescope on the fairy lamp. I found that the gates on three sides were heavily guarded, and there were still some garrison troops in the south of the city.

The old people and children were all captured by the Cui family to defend the city!"

Li Jing frowned and said angrily: "That old guy Cui Junchuo! Does he want the entire city to be buried with his Cui family? It's really unreasonable!"

At this time, he couldn't help but recall what Cui Junchuo said to Niu Jinda on the city tower in the afternoon: "Niu Jinda, it is impossible for me, Cui Junchuo, to surrender! There are still more than 200,000 troops in the city. If you and Manager Li want to

Attack the city, then come!"

Now it seems that Cui Junchuo not only wants these hundreds of thousands of new troops to be buried with him, but also wants all the people in the city to be cannon fodder for him. This is simply crazy!

"Well! I know all this! Tiedan, you have been traveling day and night all the way, so rest early!"

Tiedan's grandfather and Li Jing are cousins, so strictly speaking, Tiedan has to call Li Jing his uncle. With this kind of relationship, Li Jing is quite kind to Tiedan.

"yes!"

Tiedan hugged his fists and left.

In the big tent, Li Jing closed his eyes and concentrated. After a while, he opened his eyes and wrote a memorial about the situation here. Then he summoned Meng Wenhao and said: "Meng Wenhao, send this letter and telegram to Chang'an."

City~!”

Now Meng Wenhao and Tiedan have become crucial core figures in the entire army. They are in charge of the communication between the army and the outside world. This rescue of the city depends on the unparalleled information transmission speed of the telegraph machine!

Li Jing has fought in battles all his life, but he has never been as smooth as this time. He grasped first-hand information at the first time, allowing him to make various tactical arrangements calmly to deal with changes in the battlefield situation. This was a comparison.

Strategies are more efficient and more useful!

He had secretly made up his mind that when his master returned to the court this time, he would definitely advise Li Er to vigorously build a telegraph machine. With this thing, it would be very convenient to fight in the future!

Just imagine, if there is a large army, each battalion has a telegraph machine, which can promptly send their respective positions and enemy troop deployments to the Chinese army's main tent, then he can receive the news as soon as possible

, formulate strategies and send combat orders to the front line!

Li Jing felt that it was impossible to lose such a war!

Intelligence is so crucial to the direction of the war!

"Yes! Chief Steward!"

Meng Wenhao clasped his fists and was about to turn around and leave when Li Jing stopped him again and said: "Wenhao, by the way, please contact Xiao Yu'er again and ask her how the situation is in the city?"

"Here!"

………………………

"Didi~didi~!"

A series of long telegrams were transmitted to Chang'an City. Little fat man Li Tai was busy recording the telegrams. He was very busy!

In the same situation as him, there was also a person outside Chang'an City who was busy collecting telegrams, Li Zexuan from Yunshan Villa.

Since that day when the army went out and Li Zexuan handed over all the two remaining telegraph machines, he made several more telegraph machines. Because now he knew all the telegraph codes used by the court, so during the following period, Meng Wenhao gave the court

Li Zexuan also received a copy of all the telegrams he sent!

Based on this, although Li Zexuan has never been to Yunshan in the past few days, he knows the situation on the front line very well!

But whether what he did is considered stealing the military secrets of the imperial court, only God knows!

"Madam, you go tell your grandmother and grandfather that the imperial court has won a great victory in Guancheng. Fashan is not in danger for the time being, so they should not worry~!"

After copying the code, Li Zexuan quickly translated it. After reading the information, he found Han Yuxi and whispered.

"Uh-huh!"

Han Yuxi nodded, then she hesitated for a moment and asked: "So, Mr. Tiedan, is Tiedan okay over there?"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, madam, Tiedan is following Uncle Li and is safe. Moreover, he and Meng Wenhao have made a lot of achievements this time. Your Majesty will definitely reward you when they come back!"

Han Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay! Then husband, I'm going to find my grandfather and grandmother!"

"Well! Go ahead!"

Watching Han Yuxi go out, the smile on Li Zexuan's lips disappeared completely, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Cui Junchuo, I didn't expect you, an old guy, to be so vicious. You know you will lose, but you still use Zhengzhou."

Hundreds of thousands of young lives have come to delay time for me! Unfortunately, this time, it may not be as you wish~!"

Royal Palace.

Li Tai sent the received information to Li Er. After Li Er read it, he frowned and snorted:

"The old man from the Cui family is really vicious!"

The thing that worries him the most has happened. When he learned that the Cui family had an army of 300,000, he was worried that after this battle, the people's livelihood in Zhengzhou would wither. But now he didn't expect that the Cui family would do more ruthlessly.

Wanting the old, weak, women and children in the city to help defend the city, Li Er took a few quick breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Li Tai, and said:

"Qingque, send a telegram to Li Jing and ask him to send two groups of troops to go directly to Xingyang and Boling to arrest all the Zheng clan members in Xingyang and the Cui clan in Boling. The collateral clan members will be directly exiled to Qiongzhou, and all the direct clan members will be imprisoned.

Go back to Chang'an~! In addition, let him handle all military affairs in Guancheng County as appropriate, so as to reduce the casualties of civilians as much as possible while wiping out the rebels~!"

While Li Er was talking, Li Tai asked the chamberlain below for a pen and paper to write down. At the end, Li Tai cupped his hands and said, "I obey! Tomorrow, I will go to the pagoda of Xingshan Temple and give it to Mr. Li."

Send information!”

Daxingshan Temple was built during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Chang'an. There are many pagodas in the temple. Although it is not as tall as the towers of Songyue Temple, it can be regarded as the tallest building in Chang'an City!

Anyway, it was already late at night, so there was no need to rush to send out the information. Li Er nodded and said, "Yes! Okay! Then Qingque, you should go back and rest early!"

"My son, please retire~!"

Li Tai bowed his hands and resigned, while Li Er sat on the dragon couch and fell into deep thought.

Although the victory of the Zhengzhou battle has been decided, Cui Junchuo's retaliation before his death made Lao Li very uncomfortable!

"Your Majesty, Li Junxian wants to see you!"

After an unknown amount of time, a chamberlain came in and reported carefully.

"Oh! Let him in!"

Li Er came back to his senses and said hurriedly.

A moment later, Li Junxian walked in. Just as he was about to salute, Li Er waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, why are you coming to me so late~?"

Li Junxian clasped his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since the army went south to Zhengzhou, a total of forty-two of the officials sent by my subordinates to supervise have wanted to send letters to the Cui family and the Zheng family. All the letters have been destroyed by hundreds of people.

The cavalry intercepted them, and my subordinates came here today to ask Your Majesty what to do with these officials~"

Mr. Li Er's face darkened, and he said expressionlessly: "Do you have a list? Show it to me!"

Li Junxian took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look~!"

"Cui Liang, Cui Cheng, and Zheng Shanguang are bastards! They are a bunch of bastards! They eat the emperor's salary, but do not worry about the emperor. Instead, they do things like collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. These people have deceived me too much! Tonight, arrest them all and hand them over to Dali.

Temple, together with the Ministry of Punishment, the Yushitai public trial!"

Looking at the familiar names on the rice paper, Li Er became more and more angry. Finally, he took a picture of the dragon case and exploded.

Li Junxian was shocked and said solemnly: "The general will obey the order~!"

………………………

Li Erqing's fleeting words caused a bloody storm in Chang'an City.

That night, the gates of dozens of private houses were opened under the order of Baiqisi. The owners of forty-two mansions were arrested almost at the same time. The screams, begging for mercy, and shouts made everyone startled.

There were many people sleeping soundly, but no one dared to go out and find out!

Because at this point in time, there are only two possibilities for causing such a big commotion, one is that it was robbed, and the other is that the court is arresting important criminals. No matter what the situation is, ordinary people cannot afford to provoke it.

Most of the courtiers who heard the news could no longer sleep!

Everyone has a premonition that something big is going to happen in Chang'an City~!

………………………

Guancheng County, Dongchengmen.

On the city wall, a group of new soldiers were still guarding the city.

"Brother Ren, I wonder if you are free? Brother, I have something to tell you!"

Liu Rengui was leaning against the city wall and taking a nap. Speaking of which, he was not afraid of falling off the city wall if he fell asleep. At this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Huh? Who? Oh, it turns out to be Brother Wang Lang! Do you have a problem with me?"

Liu Rengui woke up from his dream and saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Wang Lang, the captain of the Sixth Team who he wanted to turn right to join a few days ago. He quickly cheered up and said hello.

"Um!"

Wang Lang nodded and whispered: "Brother Ren, can you take a step to speak?"

Seeing his mysterious face, Liu Rengui rolled his eyes, there was no reason to disagree, "Of course, of course! Brother Wang Lang is here~!"

After a while, Liu Rengui took Wang Lang to the corner of the city wall. It was relatively remote and no one would come here under normal circumstances.

"Brother Wang Lang, what's the matter with you? Tell me!"
