Han Shizu

Chapter 237
"Everyone here is Li's arm, heart-to-heart. The emperor of Han was young and ignorant, sitting in poverty and worrying about the country, he would not be able to defend the country. This is the time when we are fighting with force. This commander looks at the current situation in the world. If you want to raise an army to aspire to the top of the country and compete in the Central Plains, would you all be willing to join me and create achievements together?" Li Shouzhen said excitedly, standing up and raising his hands.

"May I be handsome with the festival!" In this situation, no one would be disappointed, the group stood up and responded in unison.

Li Shouzhen was overjoyed and called out great kindness.

"Chongxun, let me inform you of the preparations we have made in the past few months!" Li Shouzhen said to Li Chongxun with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Li Chongxun, who had a slumped face, immediately regained his spirits. As a "green lord", Li Chongxun played a very active role in Li Shouzhen's rebellion cause, and worked hard to support his father.

In the hall, I took a few steps and put on a show before I cupped my hands and said: "Everyone, for the great cause, my father has sent envoys to contact allies in many ways, and now there are results. Li Yiyin, the envoy of the Dingnan Army I have already promised that once the army is raised in the river, I will lead Xia Sui's army to the south. On the west bank of the river, Xue Huairang, the Jiedu envoy of the Kuang Army, was humiliated by the Emperor of Han last year. He hated him deeply. .”

"Hou Zhang of Huazhou received generous gifts from the river, and he also had a heart of righteousness. In addition, Khitan in the northern part of the country, Mengshu in Liangchuan, Gao in Jingnan, and Li in the Southern Tang Dynasty all wrote books and invited them, and got their promises!" Li Chongxun He spoke very excitedly, and said: "Just wait for the soldiers in the river to rise up, and the imperial court will be attacked from all sides, which is also an opportunity for things to happen in the river!"

After saying this, He Wenwu present couldn't help looking at each other, more or less relaxed.After all, it is a single government to fight against the greatness of the world. Although Li Congke, the last emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, succeeded more than ten years ago, the situation is different after all, and it is inevitable to feel guilty.

Even though rebellion and conspiracy have been the norm for decades, rebellion is not a low-risk thing after all.It is true that the glory of the ancestors is glorious, and there is a chance to surrender anyway if you lose, but the premise is that you can live to the end, especially for middle and low-level generals and soldiers, which time is not bloody.

Listening to Li Chongxun's introduction at this time, it turned out that there were so many allies in Hezhong, and his confidence doubled all of a sudden.

Li Shouzhen also followed his words, stretched out his hands and clenched his fists, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, it's not that Li is overconfident. With his strong support, we will join forces in many ways to participate in the grand event. There is no reason why we should not succeed."

"Jie Shuai, raise troops to enter the Central Plains. With the strength of Pu Bing, we can do it ourselves. Why should we lure the Khitan people to the south? The Hu people are powerful. If the Khitan people enter the Central Plains again, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others? ?” At this time, a deep voice sounded, which seemed suspicious.

Hearing this, Li Shouzhen's complexion suddenly turned ugly, but when he saw him, his eyebrows turned again.The person who spoke was Wang Jixun, a Hezhong tooth general, rough-looking and powerful, he was a mighty general under Li Shouzhen's command.

Seeing that it was Wang Jixun, Li Shouzhen explained to him with a smile: "The Khitan people are strong, and I know it myself. However, I just use them as a aid, and use the northern troops to go south to contain the imperial army. The rest of the forces are just used by someone. Wait for me Enter Tokyo, destroy Liu Daihan, seize the country, and then deal with the other generation!"

"Duke Ming is so heroic that he can beat the bullfight and shake the sun and the moon!" Master Zong Lun encouraged Li Shouzhen again.

"Jieshuai is wise!" Wang Jixun nodded, cupped his hands and asked: "Jieshuai, the imperial court stationed troops in Tongguan, obviously to guard against us. That kid Yang Ye has also become more and more rampant, occupying Fengling Nanjin, and recently Cross the river to defend the north. The last general is willing to be the commander-in-chief, lead the army to attack Tongguan, and take the head of Yang Ye's boy!"

Hearing what Wang Jixun said, Li Shouzhen's expression became a little more serious, and he said coldly: "Tongguan is an important mountain and river. If we raise our troops, we must take this pass first, cut off the connection between the imperial court and Guanzhong, and then seek eastward advance! Don't worry, general, you will be the vanguard at that time!"

"Thank you handsome!"

"Everyone!" Li Shouzhen took a deep breath, and continued: "A major event is imminent, everyone returns to the camp for the time being, and prepare your troops!"

"Yes!"

After a mobilization meeting was held, Li Shouzhen left his son alone to discuss secretly with a few people in the back hall.

"Tell me, what's the latest reply from those people?" Li Shouzhen sat firmly behind the desk, with a slightly restrained expression compared to before.

"Huaijie Shuai!" The subordinate judge stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Xiazhou Li Shijun has clearly answered, just wait for the army to rise in Hezhong, Tongzhou Xue Shijun is the same. On the contrary, Huazhou Hou Zhang's attitude is true and ambiguous. repeatedly!"

"Hmph!" Li Shouzhen suddenly said angrily, "Hou Zhang is a coward, greedy for money and ungrateful, accepting so many gifts from my commander, how dare he break the contract?"

"Father, don't worry about it. At that time, we only need to announce the letters between the two parties to the world, and Huazhou will have to submit!" Li Chongxun sneered.

"That's right! My gift is not so easy to get!" Li Shouzhen nodded, and asked, "What about other places?"

"On Mengshu's side, Yanqian Fanfang signed a contract with the imperial court, so it is inconvenient to break the promise, and prevaricate the reply; the Gao family in Jingnan is a repeat person, and Qianfan wrote to the imperial court to beg for softness, but Gao Congxuan was not hesitant. I'm afraid it's not enough to leverage; the Southern Tang, who had a bad relationship with the imperial court, also promised to use troops on the Huai River to fight against the Central Plains; as for Khitan, the road is far away, and the envoy still has not returned."

"That's right." Li Shouzhen pondered for a while, then looked at the monks seated there: "Master, what do you think?"

Zong Lun still looked like a Buddhist spirit, and made a Buddhist salute, saying to himself: "Mengshu, Jingnan, Southern Tang and the imperial court all have old grievances. As long as Minggong rises in the river and marches eastward, the Han Dynasty They will definitely not let go of this opportunity, even if Duke Ming does not contact him, they will take the initiative to bite him. As for the Khitan in the north, they had a deadly feud with Liu Han last year, and now Youzhou It’s still in Zhao’s hands, how could he act without hearing the news?”

"Master's words are very reasonable!" Li Shouzhen laughed.

"Jieshuai, even if you are planning a big event, you still have to be cautious. The imperial court is not unprepared against Hezhong!" The confidant judge next to him couldn't help reminding.

"Of course this commander knows!" Li Shouzhen said coldly, "Young Emperor, I don't think I know about those tricks he prepared? A joke!"

"He appointed Hou Yi as the prefect of Kaifeng. I'm afraid he has learned about the contact from that old man. And Zhao Xiuji, I trusted him so much in vain, pretended to be sick and returned home, and took refuge in Tongguan after crossing the Yellow River. I'm afraid , I have already betrayed my commander to the imperial court!"

"Since the imperial court knew that Li had great ambitions, he still didn't dare to act recklessly, and he was kind enough to appease him. Why? He didn't dare, the imperial court dared not force him to rebel against Hezhong, and Li Mou's rebellion would definitely affect the world. After stabilizing the imperial court for so long, now My soldiers, Pu Jun, have enough food, so it's time to do it!"

Hearing what Li Shouzhen said, the judge couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It turns out that everything is under the control of Marshal Jie!"

Li Shouzhen was proud again.

"Now, I only hope that the drought in the Central Plains and Hebei will be more serious. This commander can punish the people for crimes and punish injustice on behalf of the sky!" Li Shouzhen's tone was full of gloating.

The preparations for the rebellion in the river are progressing in full swing, to the point where the arrow is on the line.

But as the saying goes, if things are not kept secret, they will be leaked, or if they let themselves go too much, Li Shouzhen seemed a little careless.

On the Tokyo side, over the city walls, cloud after cloud gathered in the sky.Accumulation, brewing, overturning, and finally, the torrential rain poured down suddenly.

In the hall, Liu Chengyou was reviewing the documents, when he heard his voice suddenly, his expression became excited, and he asked out loudly: "Is it raining?"

"Going back to the official's house, it's raining! It's raining! Heavy rain!" The servant hurried in, covered in moisture, and said excitedly.

Liu Chengyou directly threw down the imperial brush, and ran out of the Chuigong Hall quickly, to the square in front of the hall, spreading his hands in the rain, with an intoxicated expression on his face.Amidst the sound of the rumbling rain, Liu Chengyou seemed to be able to hear the cheers of the entire Tokyo city, the entire Central Plains, and even the people all over the world.

It's finally raining!

For Liu Chengyou, it has another meaning.It was only in the morning that he was restrained by the pressure of public opinion from the government and the public, and visited the Taoist Palace with relatives, offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for rain.

It has only been half a day, and the whole city is in chaos, what does this mean?A ray of sacred light will once again shroud Liu Chengyou's body.

Of course, Liu Chengyou had consulted the officials of Qin Tianjian in advance.
