11. The Transit Hospital is in the ashes

Seeing that most of the soldiers were separated, Liu Shining could only lead five hundred soldiers to the front of the Bianzhou city gate.

At this time, he saw that the entire military city had closed. "Call Li Wanrong and Liu Chang to talk to me!" Liu Shining was furious and pointed at the direction of the halberd and cursed.

But as soon as they finished speaking, Li Wanrong and Liu Chang appeared behind the female wall in armor, and then the two of them publicly said in front of Xuanwu soldiers inside and outside the city: "The emperor has an imperial edict to conquer Liu Shining into the court as the censor, please go on the way."

The soldiers of Xuanwu soldiers standing on all sides of the city of Bianzhou were shouting in unison: "Please get on the road!"

This sound shocked Liu Shining and almost fell from the horse's back. Then he couldn't help but cry in his eyes and begged that this military town was my father...

Who would have thought that Li Wanrong, who was on the top of the city, scolded sternly: "If Liu Shining is delayed, he will kill his head and present it to the capital!"

Now Liu Shining had to get off the horse and knelt on the ground, "Please don't kill my family."

"The emperor only lets you mourn in the capital's Academic Division, and your family's life is inquiry." Li Wanrong promised him.

After saying that, the side door of the military city was opened, and dozens of wives, concubines, servants and other people in Liu Shining's family were pushed out by Li Wanrong's subordinates. Seeing that there was no sign of his grandmother in the crowd, Liu Shining asked where he had gone.

He was told that his grandmother said that she was too old and did not want to go to Chang'an City with you again and stayed in Bian City. I believe Li Wanrong would not abuse him.

In a helpless manner, Liu Shining could only lead hundreds of personal soldiers to escort his family westward.

As a result, when they first arrived at Zhongmu County, seven out of ten personal soldiers had already fled, and those who were left were complaining because they were short of clothes and food. Although Liu Shining wanted to get angry, he could only swallow his anger.

As for the outside of the eastern capital Luoyang City, the remaining personal soldiers started to attack, pulled Liu Shining off the horse and beat him up, then robbed and divided his luggage, and dragged all the concubines of the Liu family, Changyou and the maids who accompanied him to the field to take turns to rape him. For a moment, screams, curses and grim laughter were everywhere.

The bushes were all hanging in a mess, and the sound of crying came into Liu Shining, who was sitting on the earthen embankment. He was in great pain and did not dare to face it, so he could only hold his head and act like an ostrich.

I remember when he was the governor of Xuanwu Army, tens of thousands of people followed him to hunt together. How brilliant it was, but his prosperity was so great that he declined. How is it now in a miserable situation?

After the group of personal soldiers vented their clothes and ran away with their wealth and goods, Du Yacai, left behind in the East Capital, sent dozens of military officers and soldiers to welcome them, and rescued Liu Shining's family, who were scattered and lost all their wealth and horses.

Then Liu Shining came to Chang'an City and was always in a position in the guest house of Daming Palace.

In the Golden Palace, after the emperor discussed with Gao Yue, he sent the fifth envoy of Xuanhui to hold the imperial edict and read it to Liu Shining, and severely criticized Liu Shining's various crimes. Liu Shining was sweating profusely and did not dare to speak. Then the fifth envoy issued a resolution on behalf of the emperor:

Liu Shining was dismissed from the Censorate (he was dismissed before he was appointed), and demoted to Chenzhou. The placement of the official staff must be reduced by half, and he did not have to take up his post. He stayed in the capital's house and mourned for the former Situ Liu Xuanzuo, and then discussed the matter of appointment after the confinement.

So Liu Shining was imprisoned in the house, and his wives, concubines and servants were basically gone, leaving only a few old slaves to serve their daily lives. Outside the courtyard wall, several children from the city patrol prison were closely monitored every day. Every ten days, two middle-level officials would come to the Daming Palace. Liu Shining had to stand in the hall and accept their repeated reprimands. After several twists and turns, he became like a haggard ghost.

The turmoil in Bianzhou City has not ended.

After Li Wanrong took over as the governor, he immediately captured and killed Liu Xuanzuo's son-in-law Zhai Zuoben, Liu Shining's generals Xin Ye and Bai Yingxian, and asked another general Liu Chang to be the envoy of the military: In order to appease the morale of the army, Li and Liu took out all the 300,000 to 400,000 s of money saved in the general's mansion and gave it to the military academy. Each of the fang soldiers was 30 straits and ten straits of money for ordinary soldiers.

Then the two of them went to Liu Xuanzuo's old house and greeted Liu's mother to show their support.

Liu's mother was already very old, with a thin body hunched over and sat in front of the spinning wheel, and Li Wanrong and Liu Chang were just asking and answering questions.

But just as the two were about to say goodbye, Liu's mother suddenly said: "My son had long seen that Shining was not a good weapon when he was dying, so he advised him that it would be better to secretly establish a position of "Shi Chushou Shuai". If Shining was defeated, the Shi Chushou Shuai would take the place of Xuan Wu's military affairs."

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Li Wanrong and Liu Chang present were both stunned, and then they subconsciously looked at each other.

This pair of eyes is full of extreme distrust.

The next evening, several military soldiers suddenly shouted at the market of Bian Song: "Situ said that on his deathbed, he used Liu Chang as the commander of the secret throne. Li Wanrong colluded with the court, chased Situ's son, and seized Liu Chang's court."

Someone shouted again: "There are soldiers coming outside the city, and the Bian Song Dynasty is about to be destroyed!"

That night, the wind and sand were covered with heavy snow, and violently rolled up. War broke out in the Bianzhou military city. Li Wanrong's military horses and Liu Chang's military horses fought in and out of the Yajian Courtyard and fought until the morning of the next day: Liu Chang was defeated by Li Wanrong, so he led more than 300 people to break through the siege and came out from the south gate of the military city. Li Wanrong counted the troops and launched a pursuit from the city gate.

At this time, Liu Chang attempted to occupy the treasury, so he rushed into the Transportation House at Tongji Canal. This was the Transportation House independently set up by the Xuanwu Army after Dou Shen carried out the law. It was operated by the inspectors in the shogunate, and had its own pond, boat yard and entrusting ship. At this time, Liu Chang's troops broke into it and robbed it on fire. Soon, Li Wanrong's pursuers came again, and they also robbed it on fire.

Soon, the soldiers and people around the Transportation Court took the opportunity to watch the battle. No, they were participating in the war. The money, silk warehouses and grains in the Transportation Court were burned and robbed, especially the entrusted ships parked by the river, one by one, one by one, caught fire, illuminating the entire river.

As a result, Liu Chang and others also ran westward, and the original storage of the Bianzhou Transportation Institute turned into ashes. Although Li Wanrong won, his strength was greatly damaged.

In the Yanying Hall in Chang'an, Gao Yue, who learned the details of the Xuanwu mutiny from Guo Zhuan, held an elephant scepter in his hand and asked the emperor with other prime ministers:

Please send Zhongwu (Shence Army of Chen Xu and Qu Huan as the Jiedu), Zhenyi (Shence Army of Shaanxi and Guo, Yan Zichu as the Jiedushi), and Li Yuanchun, the Jiedushi Army of Heyang, as the first echelon, and use the Fenghua Army of Hezhong, the Jingsai Army of Weibei and the Children's Army of Shenwei Palace as the second echelon, and put pressure on Xuanwu Town on the grounds of calming civil strife!

"How to deal with Liu Chang?"

"Liu Chang once fought against Xifan with me in Huating. He was brave and came back now because of poverty. The emperor should not refuse to accept it. It hurts the distant people's wishes. Please refer to Liu Chang as the powerful general to wait for great use." Gao Yue suggested.

"But, then Li Wanrong?"

"Li Wanrong was left as the Xuanwu Army and the handling remains unchanged. However, the imperial court should send military commanders to march to Sima, and abolish the Bianzhou Transportation Court."

"But!" The emperor has been waiting for this day.
