Looking at Liu Chong, Li Wanchao asked: "Your Majesty, I am confused, and I hope you can give me some advice!"
"Li Shijun, please speak!" Noticing the difference in his tone, Liu Chong looked at him calmly.
Li Wanchao said: "Dong Zheng and I, under the rule of the imperial court, led the soldiers from the army and state here for selection. I heard that Prime Minister Fan Zhi and the generals of the imperial army who selected soldiers have all arrived in Jinyang. The king is hosting a banquet, why are the two of them not here?
,This seems to be inconsistent with etiquette!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chong chuckled and said, "This is where my Hedong officials gather. I and you two have important matters to discuss. Therefore, we did not invite Fan Zhi, Zhao Kuangyin and others to join us for the banquet!"
"My lord, what's important?" Li Wanchao twitched the corner of his mouth and asked with his head raised.
Meeting his eyes, Liu Chong glanced at Zheng Qian again and said slowly: "You two, one is a veteran, and the other is a veteran general. You have worked hard and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. Now the imperial court has ordered you to come north, and your intention is obvious.
, it’s called selecting elite soldiers, but it’s actually about taking power. If we follow it, I’m afraid that all the fame and fortune we’ve gained in our lives will be in vain, and you won’t be able to keep your position as envoy, guarding one side, and be free and easy!”
"According to the king's wishes, what should we do?" Zheng Qian finally spoke.
Liu Chong smiled slightly, raised his glass, and said in a loud voice: "The power of Fangzhen Jiedu has been inherited by the world for hundreds of years. The emperor changed it without authorization, which is the way to bring disaster to the country. As an emperor's uncle, I should act actively to protect the country.
The above is my advice to Tokyo, please ask the imperial court to take back the chaos! In this way, the country can be consolidated, and you can also maintain your wealth!"
After hearing what he said, Li Wanchao said directly: "How does the king plan to remonstrate?"
"Now there are tens of thousands of troops in Jinyang, my son Chengjun has four thousand troops in Fenzhou, Xinzhou has three thousand troops, and two of them have six thousand troops. If we add the rest of the Tibetan tribes and rural troops, there will be 40,000! Now!
The two of you have led troops to Taiyuan, so you can join hands with Gu to participate in this grand event and achieve a great cause!" Liu Chong said a little excitedly.
"Your Majesty, this is your plan to retaliate!" Li Wanchao stared at Liu Chong closely.
Regarding his attitude, Liu Chong suppressed the anger in his heart. He raised his glass again and held it in both hands: "Both of you, as long as you drink this glass to the full, you will be considered an alliance with Guhui!"
After saying that, he stared at Zheng Qian and Li Wanchao, waiting for their reply.
Under Liu Chong's gaze, Li Wanchao slowly picked up the cup, held it in front of his chest, and immediately said sternly: "This move by the king is rebellion, and I swear not to do it!"
After saying that, he threw the wine glass to the ground fiercely, and following Li Wanchao's actions, Zheng Qian also threw the glass. The sound of the throw to the ground represented the firm intention of the two.
Seeing this, although he was angry, Liu Chong was not too surprised. He couldn't help laughing for a while, and then he calmed down and said in a cold tone: "Since you two don't know the current affairs and don't share the same path with me, then you can't blame me!
Since we have come to this post, it is not up to you. At this moment, do you have no self-awareness about this scene?"
"Could it be that what the king is referring to is the ambush of swordsmen in the post?" Li Wanchao squatted up with his sword in hand, his eyes cold.
"I know that Li Shijun is a strong general! But now, as he is old, he is no longer what he was before. With you and a dozen other troops, do you still want to resist?" Liu Chong smiled disdainfully and suddenly shouted loudly.
Said: "Here comes someone!"
After saying this, people outside the house were surrounded by shadows and the sound of soldiers and armor rushed into the hall. Liu Chong's guard captain took the lead and faced Zheng and Li. Upon seeing this, their subordinates also followed in and stayed aside.
Liu Chong stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a proud look on his face: "I will give you two another chance. As long as I help you and recruit soldiers, I can spare your life!"
"Hahaha..." Hearing what he said, Li Wanchao burst into laughter and glanced at Liu Chong meaningfully: "Isn't your Majesty curious? Knowing that this might be the Hongmen Banquet, Mr. Zheng and I still dare to marry each other.
Going to the banquet?"
"It's just using the generals under my command as a force!" Liu Chong said confidently: "Now, you are under my control. The remaining soldiers are leaderless. Although it is more troublesome, I can take them in calmly!"
Compared to Zheng Qian's nervousness, Li Wanchao slowly sat up and said to Liu Chong: "Your Majesty, please listen outside, there should be some movement!"
Liu Chong was indifferent, so he just thought he was pretending to be a ghost, delaying time, and directly ordered to capture him. A fierce hand-to-hand fight unfolded in the hall, and Liu Chong was guarded aside, watching the show with great interest.
Not long after, the killing sound that Zheng and Li were waiting for finally erupted outside the library post. It was thunderous and swift, heading straight towards Zhongshe. Upon hearing the sound, Liu Chong's face changed drastically, and he immediately sent people out to investigate, and ordered the people in the lobby to step up the response.
Zheng, Li and their tribe were strangled.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, the guards are surrounded and attacked! The attackers are so fierce that the tooth soldiers cannot resist them!" The guards came to report.

Liu Chong came to Yongliyi this time and brought out half of his battalion of guards, but they were less than 300 people. Listening to the noise outside, the troops attacked were quite a lot.
After hearing the report, Liu Chong's face could not help but turn white, and he shouted: "What's going on? Jinyang and outside are all under Gu's control. Where did the soldiers come from?"
"It's the Imperial Guards!" Another officer from the Yabing Army said hastily.
"Impossible!" Liu Chong looked in disbelief and became even more panicked: "The Forbidden Army is under surveillance in the barracks. How can they be dispatched? Where is Li Yuan?"
"General Li is leading a resistance! Your Majesty, the situation is critical. The generals will fight their way out and escort your Majesty back to the city. As long as you return to the city, you can summon your troops to quell the chaos!" Liu Chong was still somewhat loyal.
"Yes! Yes, yes!" Liu Chong responded quickly.
At this time, Zheng Gong stood up again, with a serious face, and admonished: "Your Majesty, no, the moon is dark and the wind is high, the situation outside the post is dark and unclear, and the swords have no eyes. The forbidden army only has five hundred soldiers, so let the guards defend to the death.
Guanyi is here to protect the king. All you need to do is send people to fight out and summon soldiers from the city to come to rescue you!"
"Yes! Yes! You are right!" After hearing what Zheng Gong said, Liu Chong felt that it made sense and immediately ordered to the officer: "Did you hear that? Immediately notify Li Yuan and ask him to send someone to call for reinforcements.
!”
"yes!"
At this time, Li Wanchao had led the remaining ten or so people after the fierce fighting to protect Zheng Qian and rushed out of the hall. Li Wanchao lived up to his reputation for bravery and practiced martial arts. He was nearly fifty years old and could still leap forward with a sword.
In panic, the guards of the palace were unable to stop him and allowed him to break out.
The sound of killing outside was still going on. Liu Chongku was sitting in the post hall, sitting uneasily and looking panicked. He wanted to go out to take a look, but he was discouraged. His mind was in chaos and he couldn't figure out what was going on and what happened to the imperial army.
They would suddenly launch an attack on Yongliyi. Why didn't the tooth soldiers arranged by Li Yuan receive orders to stop and control them?
Time continued to pass, the killing sounds and movements outside were weakening, and there was no sign of the reinforcements he was expecting.
Until, the outside quieted down, and the remaining dozens of guards were driven into the hall. Following closely, came the influx of forbidden troops, led by Zhao Kuangyin. Yingwei's face was stained with blood, and his eyes were cold.
He stared straight at Liu Chong. Li Wanchao and Zheng Qian also followed him.
"Zhao, Zhao Kuangyin!" Liu Chong's voice was trembling, and he asked with a guilty conscience: "You, how dare you! How dare you lead an army to attack and kill Gu's guards? Do you want to rebel?"
"The king knows who is treasonous! The last general is just following the imperial edict to quell the rebellion!" Zhao Kuangyin said calmly, and then threw a head in his hand in front of Liu Chong.
"Li Yuan!" The head rolled over, revealing his face dripping with blood. Liu Chong was shocked and angry: "How dare you kill me, General Ya of Hedong!"
Ignoring Liu Chong, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the more than thirty soldiers left in the hall and said sternly: "You still haven't put down your weapons, do you really want to fight to the end and become enemies of the imperial court?"
Zhao Kuangyin's gaze was extremely sharp, and no one dared to look directly at him wherever he touched. The guards were also hesitant, looking around and looking at Liu Chong.
"Put it down! Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted angrily.
Frightened by this, one of the guards dropped his sword, and the rest followed suit and abandoned their swords one after another.
Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Zhao Kuangyin directly ordered that he be escorted away. The hall became completely quiet. The smell of blood was still mixed with the aroma of wine and meat, but the scene was in chaos.
The team dispersed, leaving a path open, and Li Shaoyou walked in slowly, stepping on the messy ground one step at a time, followed by more than a dozen black-clad Wude camp soldiers.
"It's you!" Of course Liu Chong recognized Li Shaoyou.
After glancing around for a few times and looking at him, Li Shaoyou held up his hands and said: "Uncle, the situation forces me to be rude! Please forgive me for disturbing you!"
Liu Chong trembled his lips, thinking of Wude Si and seeing Li Shaoyou with his own eyes. A lot of information suddenly came to his mind. He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Junior knows that the emperor has many questions, but at the moment, stabilizing the overall situation of Jinyang and even Hedong is the most important thing! When the situation stabilizes, we can talk about the past again!" Li Shaoyou said calmly, turned his head and ordered to Zheng Gong:
"Zheng Gong, help the emperor get into the car and drive back to Jinyang quickly!"
"After returning to Jinyang, I summoned all the officials in the city to assist Prime Minister Fan Xianggong to appease people's hearts and stabilize the department. In the name of the left-behind government, I controlled the Ya soldiers in Hedong!"
"Yes!" Zheng Gong did not dare to neglect and responded quickly.
Seeing the two reacting so naturally, Liu Chong turned pale again and pointed at Zheng Gong: "You, you..."
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Gong lowered his head and said, "I am ashamed of myself!"
