Just as Li Xiuyuan was preparing for the upcoming military disaster.
Somewhere in the mountains of Yangzhou.
There are a total of 20,000 to 30,000 bandits gathered here. These bandits came from all over Yangzhou, and most of them are not bandits but some believers. Some believe in the White Lotus Sect, and some
The followers of the Maitreya religion, plus some drought-stricken people who came from nowhere, finally gathered together to form such a large scale.
In this mountain, there is a camp where the leaders of the bandits from all over the camp gather.
At the head of the table was a young man wearing a brocade robe and holding a jade fan. When he saw all the leaders in the room, all of them were fierce men, he was a little excited and a little nervous.
Standing next to this young master was a man wearing a long robe, with white hair and a boyish face, who looked a bit like an immortal.
"Nanshan Weng, are these the leaders who have been wandering around to persuade them to come to serve?" Li Liangjin turned his head and glanced: "I wonder who these leaders are, and how many heroes they brought to come to serve?"
Nanshan Weng next to him gave a salute and said: "Back to my lord, there are four big leaders who have come to serve this time. This is a gangster near Guo Beicheng. His surname is Shi Minghu. He is an important criminal wanted by the six gates of the imperial court.
, his martial arts skills are astonishing and he can defeat martial arts masters. He has brought two thousand men with him, all of them are heroes who dare to kill people."
A burly, muscular man sat there holding a ring-headed sword, grinning at Li Liangjin: "Little Shihu, I have seen the big leader."
Li Liangjin nodded.
Nanshan Weng pointed at another woman and said: "This young and beautiful woman is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. The followers call her a saint. As for her real name, Hua Gu, she has nearly ten thousand people following her."
Aunt Hua's beautiful eyes flashed and she giggled: "The big boss must take good care of the slave family."
"Don't worry, Aunt Hua, if you follow me, you will have endless wealth and wealth." Li Liangjin smiled and nodded.
Nanshan Weng pointed at a fat man with a big belly and said: "This is the leader of the Maitreya Sect. He is known as the Maitreya Buddha from heaven who descended to earth. His name is Wang Ze. He has more than ten thousand followers under his command. He has set off rebellions in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, even in the imperial court.
It cannot be wiped out, but Leader Wang Ze is willing to come, and Leader Shi Hu is indispensable."
"Oh, are you serious about this?" Li Liangjin said with some surprise: "If this is really the case, then Shi Hu will have to remember it."
Shi Hu grinned and said: "I don't take credit for it, but I have to give this damn fat guy some face when I ask him to come. Wang Ze, are you right?"
The pot-bellied Wang Ze had a look of pain on his chubby face. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, what Leader Shihu said is absolutely true. You still have to give me some points for your face value."
"Hey, hey." Shi Hu smiled.
"Where is the last remaining leader?" Li Liangjin said again.
The last leader was a well-dressed young man. He didn't look like a rebel, but like a young master from a wealthy family.
"This is Mr. Chen, a water bandit from the south of the Yangtze River. When he heard that Mr. Chen was revolting, he came to join him. He has eight thousand men and horses under his command." Nanshan Weng said: "There are some small leaders outside the door, as well as some deserters.
Although there are not many of them, there are still several hundred people in total. Counting the leaders, our current strength is about 30,000."
Hearing that there were 30,000 people, Li Liangjin nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, with the help of all the leaders, I don't have to worry about not succeeding in my great cause."
"Big leader, we are all willing to respect you as our leader. In that case, why not rise up today and conspire for great things." Shi Hu's eyes flickered and he said.
Li Liangjin nodded and said, "It's time to rise up. I already have a rough plan in mind. We will make some preparations in the past few days. After three days, we will rush down the mountain. We will first seize the county town at the foot of the mountain, and then fight all the way to Yangzhou. Yangzhou
The magistrate is my third uncle, and he will definitely respond to my offer of the city, and if everything goes well, we will capture half of Yangzhou."
Aunt Hua next to her asked, "Why don't you seize the city of Jinling? Mr. Li, your residence is in Jinling. The power of your Li family should be greater there."
"That makes sense, why not hide in Jinling City." Shi Hu also nodded in agreement.
Li Liangjin did not lose his mind and said: "There is a military camp near Jinling City, and there are 100,000 troops stationed there. We may not be able to capture Jinling City if we attack with just a few people. If we can capture Yangzhou City, we will have all the food, pay, and weapons.
When the time comes, it will be easy to capture Jinling City, and with these two cities, half of Jiangnan will be ours."
"Hey, if that's the case, let's take Yangzhou first. But why leave this small town at the foot of the mountain until three days later to get it? I will take it as the chief and get it." Shi Hu stood up and weighed the ring in his hand.
The first great sword path.
Li Liangjin said: "Isn't it too hasty to start the incident in such a hurry?"
Nanshan Weng next to him said: "My lord, soldiers are valuable and fast. Now we can capture a city to boost morale and save three days. Moreover, tens of thousands of us also need a place to stay."
"Okay then." Li Liangjin nodded: "Shi Hu, go get the county town at the foot of the mountain today."
"Please rest assured, chief." Shi Hu said, "I will lead people to take the city right away."
After saying that, he held his fists and walked out with the knife.
Hua Gu next to her rolled her eyes and said: "There is no room for error in this first battle. I will bring some people to pick up Shi Hu."
"Okay." Li Liangjin nodded and agreed.
About half an hour later, Shi Hu led nearly two thousand bandits down the mountain.
Aunt Hua was walking with us on the way, and she asked, "If it's to deal with Li Xiuyuan, then why bother attacking Yangzhou City?"
Shi Hu was sitting on a black horse. He said with a gloomy face: "Because I smelled something unusual. This time, it was me who joined forces with the black fox, you, and the toad to instigate Li Liangjin to rebel and execute him."
Killing Li Xiuyuan, but I never thought that some shameless people would try to fish in troubled waters just after the turmoil started, and I don't know whether their attitude is good or bad."
"You are referring to Mr. Chen? Whose power does he belong to?" Aunt Hua's expression changed and she realized something was wrong.
Shi Hu snorted heavily: "There is a fishy smell. Who else could it be? It is the Lord of the West Lake. In addition, there are many gods from the Heavenly Palace mixed in the tens of thousands of people. I am afraid that they have been influenced by a certain Heavenly Lord.
Assigned, go down to earth to act."
"No, it can't be. The forces of Tiangong are also involved, and the Lord of West Lake is not someone to be trifled with." Aunt Hua became a little frightened.
Shi Hu said; "It's good that you know, but you can only know if you are an enemy or a friend by trying it. Let Li Liangjin go to take Yangzhou first. There will be turmoil here. Give Li Xiuyuan some time to test his attitude towards Tiangong and the Lord of West Lake. Don't worry about it first."
We are in a hurry to attack Jinling, otherwise these guys will betray us and stab us in the back, and we will be doomed."
"But being passively plotted and exploited like this makes me feel very unhappy. I will find an opportunity to involve them. Didn't Li Xiuyuan say that the gods will kill them? Let them deal with the disaster first."
After saying that, he grinned again, a bit ferocious.
