On the seventh day of the autumn and July of the first year of Qianyou, Li Shouzhen rebelled in the river, and the emperor led the forbidden army and swore to send troops. Before leaving, more than ten close relatives and relatives of Li Shouzhen in Tokyo were killed.

Li Shouzhen's rebellion was not for a short time, but he ignored his relatives, of course, the organic spirit saw that the situation was not good, but he was in Tokyo, under surveillance, and he had no way to escape, so he used to sacrifice the flag to Liu Chengyou.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven was personally recruited, the noble concubine Gao wanted to wait with him, and Dafu also followed suit, in this case, even if Liu Chengyou had the intention at the beginning, he would put his mind away. Besides, the queen and concubine are nothing, but at the moment, the military spirit must be considered.

Nearly 30,000 troops marched upstream from the Bianhe River, advancing by land and water. In the early stage, Tokyo had collected a large number of ships, mules and horses from the private sector to transport troops, food and equipment. Yan Jinqing, the weapons supervisor, was transferred out by Liu Chengyou and used as a water transport envoy, and Bai Chongyun, the general of the water guard, was responsible for the transfer by land.

On the side of the imperial camp, Li Hongjian, the commander of his uncle Xingjie Army, was the Marquis of Yu, the commander of the Xuanhui North Courtyard, Hu Yanke was the commander of the camp, and Liu Ci, the commander of the left wing of Guangrui, was deployed in front of the palace, and Han Tong was the commander of the right wing of the saint.

The army marched side by water, stretching for miles, which can be described as mighty. On the dragon boat, board the boat and stay on the side, stand on the side, look around, the Xuan flags are standing in a forest, the boat breaks the waves and moves forward, the shore can be seen in the distance, and the team is walking in a winding way.

The last time I experienced such a scene was when I was following Liu Zhiyuan to discuss Du Chongwei. But that time, the protagonist was Liu Zhiyuan. This time, it was him Liu Chengyou who was in the palm of his hand.

At this time, Liu Chengyou's mood can be described as full of ambition, and he also has the determination to win the prospect of this counterinsurgency. Of course, there are concerns, but they are necessary to be cautious.

......

At the same time that the counterinsurgency action of the imperial court was carried out decisively and efficiently, the Guanyou area, due to the rebellion of Hefu, immediately surged. Li Shouzhen's rebellion was not too surprising, or even if someone rebelled, it would not be too surprising. Guan You and the surrounding festivals, more or less, all hold the mentality of eating melons and the masses to watch the development and changes of the current situation.

In the same state, Fengyi County.

As a neighbor of Hezhong Mansion, at the first time when Li Shouzhen pulled the flag to rebel, Tongzhou became vigilant, and Feng Yicheng, as the governor of the state, was under full martial law. At the head of the city, the soldiers patrolled, symbolizing the black flag of the Han Dynasty, which had not yet been taken off, and the "Xue" flag mixed in between them, under the blowing of the autumn wind, seemed to be a little crooked.

Tongzhou, geographically, is very important in Guanzhong, and is the eastern barrier of the Weibei Plain. Basically, if the enemy in the east has to cross the river and take Feng Yi, he can take advantage of the situation to rush forward, sweep through Weibei, and it is not a problem to attack Jingzhao directly.

Therefore, for a long time, Li Shouzhen has tried his best to win over Xue Huairang, an ally who "shares the same hatred and hatred", even if he despises him very much in his heart. You must know that when he Li Shouzhen was the forbidden commander, Xue Huairang was just a small role, and he was not in Li Shouzhen's eyes at all. Now, I can be on an equal footing.

In the state capital, Xue Huairang, the envoy of the festival, was hiding in the back hall, sighing, and looking hesitant.

Last year in Xingzhou, he was taught a lesson by Liu Chengyou and almost lost his head, and Liu Zhiyuan moved it to Tongzhou in order to compensate him. After taking office, his habits did not change, and he was still a bad government, and he was a matter of accumulation. After all, when he was in Xingzhou, his family wealth was confiscated, and when he went to Tongzhou, he naturally had to work hard to get it back.

During his time in Tongzhou, Xue Huairang's life was quite comfortable, but after Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, he was not happy. When the state and town were suspicious of the imperial court, it was already dangerous

However, before Li Shouzhen's rebellion, there was a hot fight between the two sides, and when the river came to the real place, Xue Huairang couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Although Li Shouzhen blew it very hard, as if it was easy to advance into the Central Plains to destroy the Han Dynasty, Xue Huairang felt his conscience and thought that he did not have much confidence in whether he could succeed. Last year, he saw Liu Chengyou in Xingzhou, he was not an ordinary young master, how could he be frightened by Li Shouzhen when he almost cut himself off.

Life and death, honor and disgrace, are closely related, Xue Huairang seems to realize how terrifying Liu Chengyou is, and the prestige of Luancheng's first battle has worked.

On the other hand, Xue Huairang has already known the destiny of heaven, and he has been in the army for decades, fighting hard from the sea of corpses and blood, until his beard is gray, and he has the opportunity to rise up and become a party festival. For most of the generals of this era, being able to do a festival for a town is already the pinnacle of their lives.

As far as Xue Huairang is concerned, the comfortable festival career of less than a year old has almost worn out his will. The wife died, the new wife and concubine, the groom every night, the children and grandchildren were full, and they enjoyed all the glory. In fact, if it weren't for the Xingzhou incident, he Xue Huairang would have been kicked in the brain by a donkey, so he would have gotten so close to Li Shouzhen and done such a risky thing as rebellion.

"Marshal, the messenger from the river is here again, saying that he must see you." The housekeeper hurried over, stood at the door, and reported to Xue Huairang, who was a little uneasy.

"It's really endless?" Xue Huairang suddenly burst out, scolded, and the fat on Fafu's face trembled.

After the rebellion, Li Shouzhen sent his henchman Sun Yuan to the west and invited Xue Huairang to raise troops. It's just that after arriving at Feng Yi, he was put aside by Xue Huairang, and he refused to see him several times. It's the fourth day, and this is the seventh time he's begged to see him.

"Where are the people?" Xue Huairang's tone was quite impulsive.

"The main hall." The steward replied cautiously.

"Let him wait!"

According to Xue Huairang's original thoughts, he didn't want to deal with that guy a little, but after thinking about it a few times, he decided to see him.

"See Xue Envoy Jun!" In the hall, Sun Yuan, the messenger of the river, was also full of anxiety, and when he saw Xue Huairang who was entering the hall with the wind, he immediately smiled and greeted him, with a very low posture.

"Ben Shuai is infected with the cold, he is in a bad mood, and he has neglected the messenger!" Looking at the envoy, Xue Huairang looked anxious, and said in an impatient tone: "You came to see Ben Shuai, what's the matter?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Yuan was stunned, even if he didn't have much confidence in the goal of this trip in his heart, but when he saw Xue Huairang's performance of pretending to be stupid, he still couldn't help but be stunned, and said urgently: "The lower official came on the order of the King of Qin, and asked the envoy to raise troops to join the alliance according to the agreement." ”

Hearing his words, Xue Huairang waved his hand again and again: "Hey, I'm dizzy now, and I have a weak heart." ”

Seeing this, Sun Yuan was obviously not suitable to be an envoy, and when he saw this, he stabbed and asked: "What does the envoy mean by this, do you want to break the contract and betray the alliance?" ”

What kind of person is Xue Huairang, where can this person be rampant, and he suddenly felt angry in his heart, but thinking that he didn't seem to be "reasonable", he replied: "How come, Ben Shuai doesn't say a word, and he is not a person who betrays righteousness." ”

Hearing Xue Huairang say this, the envoy's expression suddenly slowed down, and everything was really written on his face. However, Xue Huairang's next words made him turn from sunny to cloudy.

"However, the same state is not like the middle of the river, and the soldiers are small and outnumbered, so it is difficult to pay for it. The King of Qin has many generals and strong strength, and it must be that with the power of the river, the King of Qin is enough to achieve great things......"

Xue Huairang's words, if Li Shouzhen heard it, it was estimated that he would be so depressed that he vomited blood. When the "rape was hot" before, it was not like this at all.

The envoy Sun Yuan also held back his breath fiercely, and then said: "The king must not be self-defeating, and with the help of the Tongzhou army, for the king of Qin, it is like a tiger with wings." ”

"I'm only afraid that it will affect the great cause of King Qin, so how about this marshal lead the army to garrison Tongzhou and block the official army in the west for King Qin?"

No matter how stupid he is, he doesn't dare to take Xue Huairang's words seriously. Feng Yi is not far from Hedong City, and after dragging on here for a few days, Sun Yuan is estimated to have received the latest instructions from Li Shouzhen.

I saw that he thought for a while, and then bowed his hand and asked: "In this case, I will not work on the army of Tongzhou." However, the king of Qin wanted to lead his army westward, borrowing Feng Yi and passing through the right pass. Please also ask the envoy to order the Pujin garrison to let them go, this should be no problem. ”

"It's natural, it's a little thing!" Hearing this, Xue Huairang only thought about it a little, waved his hand, and directly promised: "Ben Shuai will give the order later!" ”

"The soldiers are fast, and please send down the warrant as soon as possible so that you can pass." Sun Yuan pleaded, not very convinced.

Seeing this, Xue Huai made the old eyebrows furrow, a little dissatisfied. However, he still asked his subordinates to write down the military order in person, but he couldn't read, so he stamped it with a big seal and handed it to Sun Yuan.

"Thank you, the envoy, the official will leave!"

"Don't send it!"

After the envoy left, Xue Huairang hurriedly summoned the tooth general and ordered: "You personally go to Xipujin and tell the guards that you are not allowed to let the Pu army cross the river with a single soldier!" ”
