People with noble fates have prosperous luck and profound merits. People like Li Liangjin, who were born as princes, had no idea how much good deeds they had done in their previous lives and how much merit they accumulated in exchange for the fate of being born princes in this life.
Ghosts and gods do not dare to offend such people, and cultivators do not dare to make random connections between cause and effect.
If it leads to a calamity of killing, Taoist cultivators will not be able to bear it. Even if their Taoism is high, they can escape for a while, but because the cause and effect is too heavy, they will definitely die when disaster strikes in the future.
However, the wealth in this life is obtained by the good deeds in the previous life, or even several lives. Li Liangjin was completely corrupted in just a few months. He could not save his own life, so how could he kill a single Taoist.
Taoist Shan came here to settle the relationship between him and the old Marquis. Now that the relationship was over, Li Liangjin left without saying anything.
After a few steps, he left the mountain in the blink of an eye and disappeared into the dense forest.
He walked freely and without any sloppiness.
He was neither angry because of the pain of beheading nor revengeful because of Li Liangjin's attitude.
They are already clear with each other.
Li Liangjin watched Taoist Shan leave without saying a word. He was not afraid of this master of the Xian family, but felt uneasy and chilly.
He heard Shan Daoren's words clearly, and even though he was not stupid, he still understood the chill of these words.
"I will die like this? I never believe it. Then did Li Xiuyuan lead his troops to kill me? How can I, a noble descendant of princes, be afraid of that martial artist? Let's see whether I defeat him or he defeats me this time." Li Liangjin
His face looked a little ugly, and he felt dissatisfied.
He would never admit that he would be worse than Li Xiuyuan.
"Come here, call the military advisor to discuss countermeasures." He quickly gave the order.
But not long after a soldier took the order and went out, Li Liangjin heard the report from his subordinates.
Nanshan Weng, a military advisor, disappeared.
The belongings and luggage in the military tent were all there, but the person disappeared. The entire military camp was searched but could not be found.
"What? Nanshan Weng is missing?" Li Liangjin's eyes widened. He froze on the spot, and then realized that Nanshan Weng might have escaped.
Shan Daoren also left, why couldn't he leave?
Such an expert must be able to calculate and know the past and the future. As a strategist, doesn't his escaping really mean that he is doomed?
Thinking of this, Li Liangjin couldn't help but froze, and stood there in a daze.
However, after a while, Li Liangjin gritted his teeth and said: "No, how can it be considered that the situation is over before I fight? Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and only a few Taoists in the mountains can know it. The ancient overlord can still destroy the cauldron.
One battle will determine the outcome. I, Li Liangjin, call myself the King of Nine Mountains and lead
With tens of thousands of soldiers and strongholds in nearby mountains, how could Li Xiu defeat me if he came from afar? As long as I find out his marching route and set up an ambush halfway, he will definitely lose."
"Yes, that's right. I set up an ambush halfway and defeated Li Xiuyuan with one strike. Let everyone in the world see the strength of my Nine Mountain King."
Thinking of this, Li Liangjin regained his fighting spirit. He simply dispatched his troops and generals and began to prepare for the upcoming battle, regardless of whether his military advisor was there or not.
The bandits in his military camp moved.
Li Xiuyuan had already seen it before he entered Yangzhou territory.
"Has Li Liangjin received the news that I am coming to attack him? He is already making preparations." Li Xiuyuan frowned.
It seems that Li Liangjin has some blessings. I don't know which ghosts and gods helped him and let him know his arrival in advance. In this situation, he didn't believe that Li Liangjin had scouts and the like placed in Jinling City.
Even if there were, Pegasus would not be able to report at such speed.
However, it seems that his own army cannot catch him off guard. Otherwise, Li Liangjin will probably not know how he lost until he dies.
"But it doesn't matter. Since we can't take him by surprise, let's defeat him openly." Li Xiuyuan stopped peeping at the camp where Li Liangjin was. He hadn't arrived in Yangzhou yet, so peeping was useless.
"The army will advance to Yangzhou City and repair for three days before attacking Li Liangjin."
He seeks victory steadily and is not in a hurry.
He was confident that he could defeat Li Liangjin, but who knew what would happen on the battlefield.
Don't rely too much on ghosts and gods for everything. Mortal matters are still solved by mortals. This is especially true when encountering war. The ancients said that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.
He, Li Liangjin, cannot be defeated, so how can he dare to defeat himself?
After marching for several days, Li Xiuyuan's army arrived at Yangzhou City.
Yangzhou City is also a large city that has been famous since ancient times. Although it is not as good as Jinling, it is still the most important city in the south.
And because of its developed water conservancy, Yangzhou is also extremely prosperous.
Seeing the constant traffic of merchants on the road and the cargo ships on the river, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh: "If Li Liangjin had taken Yangzhou City and called him the King of Nine Mountains back then, it would not have been easy to destroy him."
The meaning of occupying a mountain and becoming a king is different from that of occupying a city and becoming the king.
If you seize a mountain and become the king, you are just a bandit. If you seize a city and become the king, you are a rebel.
Although rebels are also thieves, if there is a force that sweeps the world, they will be rebels. When the time comes, there will be countless people vying to join them.
"It's a pity that Li Liangjin couldn't help himself. He was instigated by ghosts and gods and rebelled in a hurry. He thought that by seizing dozens of small towns and counties in a row, he would be invincible. In the end, he attacked Jinling City by accident, so that his power had not reached the point of sweeping it.
, the soldiers under his command did not have weapons or armor, and even
There is enough food and grass to support him. If he seizes Yangzhou first, uses Yangzhou as his foundation, and plans to conquer it slowly, it will take at least several years to destroy him." Li Xiuyuan added.
Wang Ping next to him nodded and said: "Yes, Yangzhou is rich. Even if we can't hold on to Yangzhou, we can hold it for three years. Li Liangjin can be the king of the Nine Mountains for three years."
The city of Yangzhou had a large grain depot, as well as the military armory of the imperial court. All the tax revenue from the Jiangnan area had to be transported to the north through the Yangzhou canal.
Capturing this place means having the potential to become king in the south.
It's just that the ghosts and gods behind Li Liangjin were too eager to kill Li Xiuyuan, thinking that relying on Yang Biao and other 10,000 heavenly soldiers and generals could accomplish the task. Little did they know that they relied too much on the power of ghosts and gods and were completely defeated.
"If Li Liang and Jin from Yangzhou City don't take it, I will take it."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly said: "General Sun of Yangzhou is still lying outside Jinling City. The defense of Yangzhou City should be surprisingly empty now."
"Brother Li, be careful. This is an important city for the imperial court. Neither you nor I can act recklessly." Wang Ping hurriedly advised.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I just want to take over the city defense here. How can I interfere in the government affairs of Yangzhou City? I heard that the prefect of Yangzhou City is a relative of Li Liangjin. If there is no garrison here, I'm afraid there will be chaos."
"That makes sense." Wang Ping nodded in agreement.
On this day, Li Xiuyuan garrisoned outside Yangzhou City.
He led the capital commander, personal soldiers, Wang Ping, staff and others into Yangzhou City.
The prefect of Yangzhou City was Li Liangjin's third uncle, named Li Bing.
As a prefect, he was supposed to get wind and rain. In Yangzhou City, he could be said to be better than the princes. Not to mention the beautiful wives and maids, he also had no shortage of power, wealth, and Li Houfu.
Relatives are not afraid of attacks from any political opponents.
A big tree to enjoy the shade.
However, Li Bing, the prefect of Yangzhou, was not having a good life during this period. He was so frightened to death when he heard about the reality of Li Liangjin's rebellion that he almost abandoned his official position and fled. However, he heard that Li Liangjin was calling the King of Nine Mountains, and he attacked the city and even reached Jinling City.
There, Jinling City was about to be captured, which made him excited again...
If Li Liangjin really had the ability to change the world, then it wouldn't be a problem for him to surrender the city and follow his nephew to become a marquis and prime minister in the future.
Not long after his good dream, Li Bing heard the news that Li Liangjin had defeated Jinling City, and he was immediately shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
It's okay if the rebellion succeeds, but if it fails, the nine tribes will be killed.
Li Bing shivered in the government office these days, feeling that something was wrong with the way the government officials and soldiers looked at him.
It seemed that he was waiting for the imperial decree to scare him, and that he would be arrested and executed immediately.
"Sir, it's not good, it's not good, a general named Li suddenly arrived outside Yangzhou City today and has set up camp. He is coming here with hundreds of soldiers in a fierce manner." A servant
Said hurriedly.
"What?" Li Bing was startled: "General Li is stationed outside the city?"
He felt dizzy. It couldn't be that his nephew Li Liangjin really led the army.
What should I do? Doesn’t this force me to rebel?
Li Liangjin, Li Liangjin, you have done such harm to your uncle.
