In fact, Sun Chen probably knows what's going on with this kind of deceitful behavior. After all, he is also the governor of a state, so he still knows a little about the unspoken rules here.

There are usually rebellions, and local officials generally do not report them. There are two reasons: one is that they are worried about affecting their political achievements and do not want the superiors to know that there is a rebellion under them; the other is that they are self-respecting. Some local officials and generals need credit, so how can they do it? They can't even make trouble for dozens or hundreds of people, but when the scale of the rebellion develops to thousands or tens of thousands, and then they go to quell it, this is different.

However, the latter is generally difficult to control. Sometimes the rebels suddenly develop, and the situation is one-sided. Moreover, when the rebellion occurs, due to interests, as long as the rebels enter their own jurisdiction, many generals are unwilling to take action at all. Just like the Huang Chao army can start to fight most of the Tang territories, this is why.

Although Sun Chen knew about these things, he was not easy to tell Li Ye, after all, it was a local unspoken rule.

"Your Highness, it's useless to say this now. Now the rebels are in war situation. If the rebellion is not suppressed, the eastward passage of Xichuan will also be affected." Sun Ye saw his second brother's embarrassment, so he diverted Li Ye's attention and focused everyone's attention on the rebellion in the southeast.

"This should be something that Chen Jingxuan, the governor, should worry about. What does it have to do with Your Highness?" Pei Rong, who was standing beside him, said without hesitation.

"Pei Sima, you can't say that. The main forces of the Xichuan Army are all in Qiongzhou and Yazhou. How can there be more troops to quell the rebellion in Rongzhou?" Zheng Ningji shook his head and said.

"Isn't there any Shence Army near Chengdu Prefecture? There are 50,000 or 60,000 people, and some of them are enough to quell the rebellion, which is enough to quell the rebellion." Pei Rong said.

"Your Highness is still recruiting envoys, and it is your duty to quell the rebellion." Sun Ye did not agree with Zheng Ningji's view. He was from Xichuan and knew what the consequences would be for Rongzhou and other places to be occupied by rebels. It would not have a big impact in the short term, but in the long run, Chengdu Prefecture would be greatly affected.

Regarding Sun Ye's words, Li Ye is not good at attacking the other party. With the current situation, it is impossible for him to continue to serve as a recruitment to suppress the rebellion.

As expected, on the second day after Li Ye returned, Chengdu was sent with an imperial edict, roughly asking Li Ye to lead the Tiance army back to Chengdu, Qiongzhou, Yazhou, Shuzhou and other places to temporarily hand over the military affairs to Gao Renhou for his behalf until the rebellion was completely quelled.

As for the rebellion in Rongzhou and other places, Chen Jingxuan ordered that Yajiang Zhuang Mengdie lead 5,000 troops to quell the rebellion. At the same time, Gao Renhou's army left 5,000, and the others were also allocated to Zhuang Mengdie to quell the rebellion in Rongzhou and other places as soon as possible.

......

"attack!"

At the city of Yazhou, Gao Renhou personally took charge of commanding the army to cross the Qingyi River and launch an attack on Yazhou City.

On the north bank of the Qingyi River, eight thousand officials stood there neatly, with serious eyes. Thousands of archers raised their bows and arrows and kept shooting towards the city on the other side of the river. Behind them, the drummers were beating the drums, and the drum sounded the sky. With the sound of drums, fifteen trenchers were starting at the same time, swinging their long arms, throwing up the huge rocks weighing dozens of kilograms high. More than a dozen huge rocks rolled in the air and roared at the opposite city wall.

With a "boom", the huge rock fell down, and directly made a dent in the city wall, and then rolled towards the crowd, and blood and flesh flew everywhere, which was a terrible sight. One after another, the huge rocks hit inside and outside the city wall, and screams rang one after another.

Under the cover of trenchers and bows, a large number of soldiers crossed the Qingyi River and raised the ladder to attack the city. Although many huge rocks fell on the city wall and some ladders were smashed, more ladders were placed on the city wall, and a soldier of the official army began to climb with his shield.

As more than 30 cloud ladders were placed on the city wall, thousands of official soldiers rushed up like bees, holding up the horizontal swords and spears in their hands and rushed up the city tower. The arrows on the city tower were like rain, and the wooden and stones fell like hail. At the same time, they also slashed the spear and stabbed the spear, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. Although several cloud ladders were pushed away and then fell backwards, more soldiers climbed the city tower with the cloud ladder.

Compared with the large number of officials, the rebels in the city were in a hurry. Due to the loss of the main force in famous mountains and other places, there were not many troops withdrawn. In addition, the remaining troops in the city had only two or three thousand remaining soldiers and were not the opponent of the tens of thousands of officials in front of them.

Moreover, Gao Renhou received the order from Chen Jingxuan to transfer his extra army to Meizhou as soon as possible, so he had to speed up the attack, take down Yazhou, and kill Guo Qi.

Gao Renhou naturally went all out, and the rebels in the city gradually became dissatisfied with the government forces giving their all out. There were officials coming up everywhere on the city tower. If there were no reinforcements, it would be a matter of time for the city tower to fall.

"General, we can't fight anymore. The brothers were killed and injured. If they continue to fight, they would all die here." A general covered in blood came to the governor's mansion in the center of the city and said with a sad and angry expression.

"Can we still surrender to Gao Renhou?" a general next to him asked.

"My people are fighting bloody in front of you, are you talking sarcastic here?" The blood-covered general looked at the colleague beside him, opened his eyes wide and waited for the other party, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, and drew his sword when he had a disagreement.

"Surrender? Even if I, Guo Qi, die, I will never surrender to Gao Renhou and Chen Jingxuan." Guo Qi said harshly.

"General, then we can only retreat. If we continue to fight like this, we will really die in this Yazhou."

"Retreat? Where can I retreat?" Guo Qi looked bitter.

Although the area of ​​Yazhou is large, except for the city, other places in the south are sparsely populated areas. Although retreating to those places can survive, it is not a long-term solution.

"General, why don't we surrender to Nanzhao?" someone suddenly suggested.

"Nanzhao? No, when Nanzhao invaded, my family died under the Nanzhao army. Even if I died, I would not surrender to Nanzhao. I, Zhang, was born a native of the Tang Dynasty and a ghost of the Tang Dynasty, and would never surrender to the small country of Nanzhao."

"Your surnamed Zhang has a grudge with Nanzhao? I am also a person who came here back then. If you don't surrender to Nanzhao, would you not surrender to Chen Jingxuan? Or die here? If we can't go back to the Tang Dynasty, it's better to surrender to Nanzhao and take revenge by Nanzhao in the future."

No one agreed to this suggestion on the spot. As long as the people present were older, many of them were those who fought against the Nanzhao army during the Nanzhao invasion. They were unable to accept it for a moment. However, now Gao Renhou is siegeing the city in large numbers. If he does not make a decision as soon as possible, when Gao Renhou's army enters the city, they will not be able to leave.

However, Guo Qi and others still chose to retreat south, although they were retreating to Lizhou. However, there were thousands of imperial troops stationed in Lizhou, which were the border troops guarding against Nanzhao. Since the capture of Weizhou (Xichang) was by Nanzhao more than ten years ago, Lizhou has become a border. The thousands of troops here have strong combat effectiveness, and it is not something that the remnants led by Guo Qi can defeat them.

When Gao Renhou entered the city and learned that Guo Qi had escaped again, he was so angry that he scolded Guo Qi for not worthy of being a soldier. Gao Renhou, who was angry, directly ordered all the rebels in the city to be slaughtered without leaving a single living mouth.

......

"Brother, what's going on with King Shou? How did you bring back so many Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain? Is this King Shou also interested in the art of immortality? If so, is this King Shou worthy of our Sun family's strong help?"

Since the Tiance Army would return to the court the next day, before leaving, Sun Chen couldn't help but find Sun Ye to express his confusion.

Sun Mei is the Shouwang Ruren who has already been decided, and Sun Ye is also the chief minister of the Sun family. Therefore, even if the Sun family does not want to be with Shouwang, they have no choice. To outsiders, their family is on the same boat as Shouwang Mansion. Just like Zheng Ting, although his relationship with Shouwang Mansion is just as good as that of the Shouwang Mansion, his eldest son serves as Sima in Shouwang Mansion.

Originally, Sun Chen had a good impression of Li Ye, both civil and military, and was well-educated and polite, and had a kingly spirit. If Li Ye could really ascend to the throne, the Sun family could be rich and prosperous together, even if they suffered some hardships in the middle, it would be acceptable. However, when Li Ye came back from Qingcheng, he actually brought a bunch of Taoist priests, and they were also Taoist priests who refined alchemy, which made him very uncomfortable.
