On July 26, the tenth year of the Great Cause, Yuhua and launched the Jiangdu Mutiny, Yang Guang was shot to death by random arrows, at the age of 48, and his Yang Gao and his grandson Yang Qi all died in the chaos.

Yuhua and then established himself as the emperor, changed the name of the country to Xu, and set the capital Jiangdu. And the second brother Yuzhi and the king of Qi, the younger brother Yushi and the king of Chu, the establishment of Changyu Chengdu, the second Yuming as the king of Zhou, Sima Dejiao and Dou Yi were all named the left and right generals.

The news of Yang Guang's murder soon spread all over the world, and Wang Shichong, who had long intended to rebel, immediately supported Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as the puppet emperor in the eastern capital. After Yang Tong ascended the throne, he immediately named Wang Shichong as King Zheng, and concurrently served as the prime minister, Bao, and Shang Shuling, and took over the military and political power.

Li Yuan, who had just occupied Guanzhong, also abolished Yang Yu, established himself as emperor, and changed the name of the country to Tang. Feng Chang Li Jiancheng is the East Palace, the second Li Shimin is the king of Qin, the female Li Xiuning is the princess of Pingyang, and the fourth Li Yuanji is the king of Qi.

The above information about the drastic changes in the world is now on Yu Ming's desk, and he can't help frowning. He never expected that Yang Guang's death would be a year ahead of schedule, which made him feel unprepared.

Originally, he wanted to capture Youzhou, recuperate for a period of time, and then map the south of Hebei. After all, Dou Jiande is not an easy person to deal with. But now it seems that I can't help but speed up the steps. Now Li Yuan has occupied Guanzhong, although there are still Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou and others to contain him. But Yu Ming knew that both of them would be defeated by Li Yuan, and it was only a matter of time before they failed.

"Gather all the generals to the council chamber for a meeting! We can't wait any longer to discuss the situation we are facing! Yu Ming said to Zhang Zhongjian beside him with a solemn expression.

"Subordinates obey!" After Zhang Zhongjian answered, he hurriedly went down to inform.

About two hours later, all the high-ranking military officials of the Liaodong Army gathered in the conference hall. Even the newcomers Luo Yi, Luo Shou, Luo Cheng and others also participated.

However, what surprised Luo Yi and others was that there were many women in the Liaodong Army who served as officials, and they were also in important positions. Like the eldest grandson Wujian who is in charge of finance, the red sleeves who is in charge of intelligence, and Yu Yu Qing, who has really become a general in the army...... If it weren't for Li Xiuning, who wanted to nurse his daughter, he would also come to the meeting as the chief general of the Suzaku Army. Of course, there was another female official who did not attend, and that was Yang Luoqi, who had just been appointed as the head of the Supervision Yuan, who was now grieving the death of her father, Yang Guang, and was now crying bitterly in her bedroom.

"Brothers, this king has just received urgent information from Jiangdu: the Holy Lord has died!" Yu Ming said with a heavy face.

"What? The Holy One died? ”

"Is this true? Didn't I hear that he was still in good health? ”

"What kind of illness does the Holy One have?"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked and discussed. But no one misses him. After all, what Yang Guang did was unpopular. But considering that the saint is Yuming's father-in-law, they can't help but make an example and make a sad appearance on the surface.

Yu Ming sighed at this time and told the story of Yang Guang's killing. When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other. They never expected that it would be King Zhou's father, Yuhua and Shengshang, and he would also establish himself as the emperor.

"Now, with the death of the saint, the powerful people in various places have also become self-reliant. Li Yuan, who occupied Guanzhong, established himself as emperor, and his country name was Tang; Xue Ju of Longxi proclaimed himself Emperor of Qin, Li Liang of Xiliang also established himself as the Liang State, and Li Mi of Henan called himself Duke of Wei and took over most of the power of the Wagang army...... Even Dou Jiande, who is in the south of us, has established himself as the King of Xia. Red Sleeves then introduced the situation in the world, so that the generals have a more eye-catching understanding.

At this time, Luo Shixin immediately said: "Your Highness, since so many heroes and powerful have established themselves as emperors, why don't you also stand on your own, Your Highness!" In this way, it would be more justifiable for us to raise troops. ”

"That's right! Didn't the king of Zhou take the revival of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as his own idea a long time ago? Now we can call ourselves Emperor Zhou and lead us back to Guanlong! Guo Yi also immediately agreed.

All the generals persuaded one after another, after all, everyone wanted to make a founding hero.

Now no one will ask Yuming if he wants to join forces with Yuhua and the army. Because during the previous battle in Jihe, Yuming made a decision in his heart: he will go all out to dominate the world, and Yuhua has nothing to do with him how to raise troops and how to fight.

However, although there were many people who persuaded Yuming to be the emperor, Yuming did not react in the slightest. He glanced at the ministers, intending to see what they were thinking.

After a while, Du Ruhui said: "Now the Great Sui can be regarded as overthrowing, but whether the King of Zhou needs to be the emperor immediately, I don't think there is any need to worry." Although our army is strong, it has only just set foot in the Central Plains, and the rear is not stable, and the Turks are still threatening our back. In this case, I am afraid that I will become the target of public criticism! ”

"Lao Du, it's not our family who is called the emperor, aren't Li Yuan, Xiao Mo and Xue Ju all called the emperor?" Cheng Yanjin was not convinced.

"General Cheng, that's not what you said! I also think that the conditions for the lord to become emperor are not yet ripe! Fang Xuanling also objected at this time.

"Why isn't it mature? I think that the territory and soldiers and horses controlled by our Liaodong are quite a lot among the candidates in various places! Cheng Yanjin was puzzled.

"General Cheng, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." The eldest grandson Wuji also interjected: "Although we have a lot of territory and people now, our background is much worse than that of a few families who have raised troops. ”

"For example, Li Yuan, he dared to be the emperor, he had the entire Li valve as the foundation, and at the same time he had the support of the Guanlongmen valve, otherwise how could he enter the Guanzhong so smoothly? It also surrendered a large number of Sui troops originally stationed in Guanzhong. And wherever he passed, the powerful families from all over the country attached themselves one after another. This is due to the fact that his grandfather Li Hu was one of the Eight Pillars of Guanlong back then, and the talents and resources left behind by such a family are not comparable to ordinary bandit rebels! The eldest grandson Wuji sighed lightly: "If it weren't for the fact that our eldest grandson family had gone to Liaodong with King Zhou early, I was afraid that Li Yuan would have voted for him when he came in!" After all, our eldest grandson is also a member of the Guanlongmen valve! ”

Wei Zheng also nodded again and again: "What Lord Eldest Sun said is right! Xiao Mo dared to be the emperor, which is also the same reason. The Xiao family was originally a big clan in the south of the Yangtze River, and when the north and south were divided, there were emperors of the two dynasties of Qi and Liang, although they were later replaced by Chen Baxian's Nan Chen, but they did not suffer the disaster of extermination, and their influence in Jiangnan was still very great. Therefore, Xiao Milling will respond to the army in the Jingxiang area. ”

"As for His Royal Highness's father Yuhua Ji, not to mention, Yu Valve was originally a member of the Northern Zhou royal family, but he was usurped by Yang Jian, and there are many good talents in the clan. It's just that I think that Yuhua shouldn't have started an incident in Jiangnan, or should have started an incident in the Guanlong area, after all, he has no foundation in Jiangnan. At present, the soldiers in Jiangdu City want to return to Guanzhong, which is a big problem for him. Wei Zheng stroked the two locks of long beard under his chin.

"Yes! The soldiers in Jiangdu City were willing to open the city gates to welcome Yuhua and enter the city because he promised to take them back to Guanlong. But if Yuhua really wants to lead the army back to Guanlong, then he will inevitably clash with Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Li Yuan, etc...... But now that Xu Jun's strength can keep the existing territory, it would be good, how could it be possible to fight back to Guanlong? Hu Sizheng also expressed his opinion.

"Okay, that's the end of the discussion about my father, I won't be the emperor for the time being, I will still be called the king of Zhou. Now let's discuss how to deal with the current situation! "Yu Ming is colorful. He naturally knew that only by building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the throne could he hope to achieve the final victory.

At this time, Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "King Zhou, originally we planned to take a whole month off, attack Dou Jiande again, and give the troops some time to rest and reorganize. But now it seems that the time is clearly running out for me. If we continue to drag on like this, we will give other forces ample opportunities for development. Therefore, his subordinates suggested that he immediately launch an expedition against Dou Jiande, first unify Hebei, and then seek other places! ”

"That's right! Dou Jiande is like a nail stuck under our Youzhou, if we don't pull out this nail, whether we attack Hedong to the west, or Henan and Shandong to the south, there is a danger of being copied by it, and we must get rid of it! Du Ruhui also echoed.

However, Luo Yi was a little worried: "King Zhou, maybe you haven't fought with Dou Jiande yet, so I don't know how powerful it is." I've fought more than a dozen battles with them. I know how difficult it is. Although the soldiers under this man are not elite, they are like foot insects, they cannot be killed repeatedly, and they have been beaten to the brink of despair by the official army several times, but they have successfully escaped and then made a comeback. ”

"General Luo don't worry, Dou Jiande is just a lieutenant commander, and the soldiers under him are all mud legs, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning. We will be able to defeat him! Guo Yi said with a big grin. It was not easy for him to change from the commander of his own army to the commander of the first army, so he naturally geared up and wanted to show his skills in front of everyone.

"Don't be careless! Dou Jiande is by no means an ordinary rebel. Red sleeves, let's talk about Dou Jiande's troop layout first! "Yu Ming is colorful.

Red Sleeves nodded, and then Fang spoke one by one. All the generals present pricked up their ears and listened carefully, after all, this was related to their future combat goals.

But Luo Yi, Luo Cheng, Luo Shou and others, the more they listened, the more frightened they became, because the information that Red Sleeves said was much more detailed than what they knew, and even the preferences of Dou Jiande's generals, their personalities, and who they were in their family made a list. This allows the Liaodong Army to make targeted arrangements.

"No wonder the Liaodong Army is known as the strongest army in the world, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

"Not to mention the combat effectiveness of others, just the meticulous process of collecting intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary spies."

"It seems that our Luo family still voted for the right master!"

Luo Yi, Luo Shou, Luo Cheng and others couldn't help but be surprised and happy in their hearts, and admired Yuming.
