"Everyone present here is Li's arm, and I confide in my heart. The Emperor of Han is young and ignorant, and he is sitting in a trapped and worried country. He will not be able to defend the country. This is the time for our generation to use force to fight. I have observed the current situation in the world. The heaven, the time, the people, and everything are in harmony in the river.
I want to raise an army to conquer the country and compete in the Central Plains. Are you willing to follow me and create achievements together?" With interest, Li Shouzhen stood up and raised his hands, and said with excitement.
"I hope you will be handsome!" In this situation, no one would be disappointed. A group of people stood up and responded in unison.
Li Shouzhen looked excited and shouted for great kindness.
"Chongxun, let me inform you of the preparations we have made in the past few months!" Li Shouzhen ordered Li Chongxun with a smile.
Hearing this, the sullen Li Chongxun immediately became energetic. As a "green master", Li Chongxun played a very active role in Li Shouzhen's rebellion and worked hard to support his father.
In the hall, he walked a few steps, pretending, and then said: "Everyone, in order to pursue a great cause, my father has sent envoys to contact allies in many ways during this period of time, and now the cause has been achieved. Li Yiyin, the envoy of the Jiedushi Army,
We have already agreed that once we raise our troops in the river, we will lead Xia Sui's army southward. On the west bank of the river, Xue Huairang, the governor of the Kuangguo Army, was humiliated by the Emperor of Han last year. He deeply hates him. He is always worried and wants to join us in the uprising.
.”
"Hou Zhang of Huazhou accepted the generous gifts from the river, and he also had the intention of doing good deeds. In addition, the Khitan in the north of the Great Wall, the Meng Shu in the two Sichuan provinces, the Gao family in Jingnan, and the Li family in the southern Tang Dynasty all wrote letters to invite them and got their permission!" Li Chongxun
He spoke very excitedly and said: "As soon as the soldiers in Hezhong rise, the imperial court will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and this will be an opportunity for things to happen in Hezhong!"
After saying this, the civil and military personnel in Hezhong couldn't help but look at each other, and they all showed some relief. After all, one government can resist the power of the world. Although more than ten years ago, Li Congke, the late emperor of the late Tang Dynasty,
It has been successful, but the situation is different after all, and it is inevitable to feel guilty.
Even though rebellion and rebellion have been the norm for decades, rebellion is not a low-risk thing after all. If you succeed, you will be proud of your ancestors, but if you lose, you will still have the opportunity to surrender anyway, but the premise is that you can survive to the end, especially for middle- and low-level generals and soldiers
Speaking of which, there has never been a time when it was not a bloody storm.
At this time, after listening to Li Chongxun's introduction, it turned out that there were so many allies in the river, and his confidence suddenly doubled.
Li Shouzhen also followed his words, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and said loudly: "Everyone, it is not that Li is not overestimating his own capabilities. With the strong support of others, we are working together in many ways to participate in this grand event. How can we fail to succeed?"
"Commander Jie, raise an army to march into the Central Plains. With the strength of the Pu soldiers, we can do it ourselves. Why do we need to lure the Khitan people south? The Hu people are powerful. If the Khitan people are allowed to enter the Central Plains again, won't they be a wedding dress for others?"
?" At this time, a deep voice sounded, seemingly suspicious.
Hearing this, Li Shouzhen's face suddenly turned ugly, but when he saw the person, his eyebrows turned again. The speaker's name was Wang Jixun, he was a general from the river. He was rough-looking and powerful. He was a fierce general under Li Shouzhen and a good leader in the army.
He made iron whip, iron spear, and iron rod, named "Wang Three Irons".
Seeing that it was Wang Jixun, Li Shouzhen explained to him with a smile: "The Khitans are powerful, and I know that. However, I only enlisted them as reinforcements and sent troops from the north to the south to contain the imperial army. The other forces are just being used by someone. Wait for me.
Send troops into Tokyo, destroy Liu Daihan, seize the country, and then deal with the other people!"
"Ming Gong is so arrogant that he can compete with bullfights and shake the sun and the moon!" Master Zonglun encouraged Li Shouzhen again.
"Commander Jie is wise!" Wang Jixun nodded, and said with raised hands: "Commander Jie, the imperial court stationed troops in Tongguan, obviously to guard against us. That kid Yang Ye is also becoming more and more rampant, occupying Fengling Nanjin, and even more recently.
We crossed the river to explore north. The last general is willing to lead the army to attack Tongguan and take the head of Yang Ye's son!"
After hearing what Wang Jixun said, Li Shouzhen looked a little more serious and said coldly: "Tongguan is a strategic point in the mountains and rivers. If we raise our troops, we must take this pass first, cut off the connection between the imperial court and Guanzhong, and then seek to advance eastward! Wang
Don’t worry, general, you will be the vanguard when the time comes!”
"Thank you handsome!"
"Everyone!" Li Shouzhen took a deep breath and continued: "A big event is about to happen. Everyone, please return to camp for the time being and prepare your troops with strength!"

"yes!"
After a mobilization meeting, Li Shouzhen left his son alone with a few people to discuss secretly in the back hall.
"Tell me, what are the latest replies from those people?" Li Shouzhen sat steadily behind the handsome case, her expression slightly calmer than before.
"Come back, Commander!" The subordinate judge stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Li Shijun of Xiazhou has given a clear reply. He will only wait for troops to be raised in the river. Xue Shijun of Tongzhou will do the same. On the other hand, Huazhou Hou Zhang's attitude is really ambiguous. I'm afraid there will be some confusion.
repeatedly!"
"Hmph!" Li Shouzhen said angrily: "This despicable Hou Zhang is greedy for money and forgets his integrity. He has accepted so many gifts from me. How dare he break the promise?"
"Father, there is no need to worry. At that time, the letters exchanged between the two parties will only need to be announced to the world, and Huazhou will have to submit!" Li Chongxun said secretly.
"That's right! My gift is not that easy to get!" Li Shouzhen nodded and asked: "Where are other places?"
"On Meng Shu's side, it was said that Qian Fan had signed a contract with the court, and it was not convenient to break the promise and prevaricate the reply. The Gao family in Jingnan was originally a repetitive person, and in addition, Qian Fan wrote to the court to plead for submission, but Gao Congjiao was unwell.
I'm afraid there is not enough leverage; the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was at odds with the imperial court, also promised to use troops on the Huaihe River to conquer the Central Plains together; as for the Khitan, the road is far away and the envoys have not yet returned..."
"That's right." Li Shouzhen thought for a moment and looked at the monks: "Master, what do you think?"
Zong Lun still looked very Buddhist. He made a Buddhist salute and said confidently: "Meng Shu, Jingnan, Southern Tang and the imperial court all have old grievances. As long as Duke Ming rises in the river and marches eastward, the Han Dynasty will be defeated."
If the court is shaken, they will definitely not miss this opportunity. Even if Ming Gong does not contact them, they will take the initiative to pounce and take a bite. As for the Khitan in the north, they formed a deadly feud with Liu Han last year, and now Youzhou
If it is still in Zhao's hands, how could it not act upon hearing the news?"
"Master's words are very reasonable!" Li Shouzhen laughed.
"Commander, since you are planning a big thing, you still have to be cautious. The court is not completely unprepared for the river!" The confidant judge next to him couldn't help but remind him.
"Of course I know!" Li Shouzhen said coldly: "The emperor's son, do you think I don't know about the little tricks he prepared? What a joke!"
"He appointed Hou Yi as the prefect of Kaifeng. I'm afraid he has learned about the contact from the old man. And Zhao Xiuji, in vain of my previous trust in him, pretended to be ill and returned home. After crossing the Yellow River, he took refuge in Tongguan. I'm afraid , I have already betrayed my commander to the court!"
"Since the imperial court knows that I, Li, have great ambitions, they still dare not act rashly and try to comfort me, but why? He doesn't dare, and the imperial court does not dare to force him to rebel against the river. Li's rebellion will definitely affect the world. He has stabilized the imperial court for so long, and now Our Pu army has enough food and supplies, so it’s time to take action!"
Hearing what Li Shouzhen said, the judge couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that everything is under the control of Commander-in-Chief!"
Li Shouzhen was proud again.
"Now, if the drought in the Central Plains and Hebei becomes more serious, I will be able to punish the people and punish the unjust people on behalf of Heaven!" Li Shouzhen's tone was full of gloating.
Preparations for the rebellion in Hezhong are progressing at an intense pace and are almost ready.
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 seems to have no scruples.
Over in Tokyo, over the city walls, one after another dark clouds were gathering in the sky. They accumulated, brewed, turned over, and finally, heavy rain suddenly poured down.
In the hall, Liu Chengyou was reviewing documents when he suddenly heard his voice. He became excited and asked quickly: "Is it raining?"
"Back to the official house, it's raining! It's raining! It's raining heavily!" the waiter ran in in a hurry, with moisture on his body, and reported excitedly.
Liu Chengyou threw down his imperial pen and ran quickly out of the Chui Gong Hall to the square in front of the hall. He spread his hands in the rain and looked intoxicated. Amidst the rumbling rain, Liu Chengyou seemed to be able to hear the sound of the entire city of Tokyo, the entire Central Plains, and even the entire people of the world. of cheers.
It finally rained like crazy!
For Liu Chengyou, it had another meaning. Just in the morning, he was subject to the pressure of public opinion from the government and the opposition, visited the Taoist Palace in person, offered sacrifices to heaven, and prayed for rain.
Only half a day has passed, and the whole city is in a state of chaos. What does this mean? A ray of sacred light will envelope Liu Chengyou again.
Of course, Liu Chengyou had consulted the officials of Qintian Prison in advance. When it rains recently...
