Chapter 585: Liaoyang Uprising
"Mr. Li, you must have received the news that Wan Yanliang had already set off from Bianjing to the south in July, and it is estimated that he will be on the bank of the Huai River in early September, and at this time he should be fighting with the Song army between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, the opportunity is rare, it is a pity to lose!"
As soon as Shen Jin saw Li Shi, he went straight to the point and encouraged them to start an incident immediately.
However, Li Shi seemed unmoved and did not respond immediately.
Shen Jin immediately asked, "Is it that the left-behind adults haven't made up their minds yet?" ”
Li Shi was silent, and still didn't answer, but from the rather helpless look on his face, it could be seen that it should indeed be the reason for Wan Yanyong.
Shen Jin sighed, and then said: "I made an appointment with Mr. Li today, and I have two news to tell Mr., please tell Mr. to the left-behind adults." Let's talk about the good news first, there are three troops that have been requisitioned to the south and returned to the north halfway, they have a total of more than 20,000 people, and they played a slogan along the way, after saying that Yan Liang has no way, they want to go north to support the new monarch, and these three armies just arrived in Chenzhou a few days ago, and now they are on standby in Chenzhou, as long as they give an order, they can immediately come to Liaoyang Mansion and support the new monarch! ”
When Li Shi heard the news, his face couldn't help but be happy.
"There is also bad news, Gao Cunfu will do it to the left-behind adults within ten days! The information I got from one of his family members is very accurate, and if necessary, I can hand over this person from Gao Cunfu's family to Mr. Li. That's all I can do to help Mr. Li, if the left-behind adults miss this opportunity, and someone else becomes the emperor, it is difficult to say whether there is a place for the left-behind adults to survive in Liaoyang. ”
When Shen Jin released the news, the expression on Li Shi's face changed again, his brows were tightly locked, but he quickly relaxed, and there was a faint hint of relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen! If great things can be accomplished, there will be great rewards! Li Shi finally spoke, raising his hand to thank him.
"Whereever, it's just a win-win situation. As long as the left-behind adults achieve great things, we can travel freely in the country, travel smoothly, and do business safely and fairly. ”
Shen Jin smiled, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.
Not long after the two met, Shen Jin handed over the subordinate in Gao Cunfu's family who had obtained the inside information to Li Shi, and he didn't have to worry about what to do.
If this is the case, Wan Yan Yong will not dare to make trouble, then Shen Jin can only pretend to pass the edict to Wan Yan Fushou and others again, luring them into Liaoyang Mansion, if the two armies face each other and there is any accident, it is no wonder to him.
A day later, Li Shi sent someone to send a message to Shen Jin, inviting him to meet at Jingning Temple in the east of the city and discuss important matters.
What is the place of Jingning Temple, Yang Congyi told Shen Jin, what to do there, he can roughly guess.
Shen Jin arrived as promised.
In the secret room, Wan Yanyong, Li Shi, and Shen Jin were three people, one in the center, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Shopkeeper Shen, can you tell me how you met Yan Fushou and the others? What was special about them along the way? Li Shi glanced at Wan Yanyong and turned to Shen Jin to ask.
The meaning is obvious, Wan Yanyong is still not very relieved, and wants to verify it in person.
Shen Jin replied: "At the end of August, I happened to be in Yidu Mansion, and I heard that the imperial court was recruiting young men from the state capitals of Shandong again, and ordered that there should be no less than 2,000 people in each place, and the soldiers of each state capital guarding the city should leave the necessary troops, and all the others should go south to support the imperial army. We all know that in order to attack the Song State in the south, the imperial court has requisitioned and mobilized young and strong people many times before and after, how can there be excess people's power to be requisitioned, so all parts of Shandong, the people's grievances are boiling. I thought this was an opportunity to collect the hearts of the people for the left-behind adults, so I took advantage of the convenience of doing business to go to Jinan, and then in the Tai'an army, more than a hundred miles south of Jinan Prefecture, I saw an army stationed in the north of the city, which had been sluggish. I pretended to be a soldier and went to defect with a letter, and after Yan Fushou saw the letter in the name of the left-behind lord, he was suspicious at first, but after some analysis by me, he decided to break away from the southbound army the next day and go north to support the left-behind lord. Due to his limited troops, he was worried that he would not get the attention of the adults left behind in Liaoyang, so he took the initiative to recruit two armies that were willing to return north with him, each of them had 5,000 people, but the troops were not as many as him, and the commanders of the two armies were called Gao Zhongjian and Lu Wanwanu. After the three armies converged, we rushed all the way east to the vicinity of Yidu Province, preparing to cross the sea by boat, but the three armies were afraid of water, and Wanyan Fushou and others were also afraid, so they wanted to change their plan to take the land route and return north through the Yanjing area. But considering the time problem, I told them that if they didn't hurry up to Liaoyang Mansion, they would definitely lose the first effort to support the left-behind adults. Considering this reason, the three of them did not hesitate too much, and quickly made a decision, even if they lost all their baggage and war horses, they must cross the wide ocean by boat, rush to Liaoyang Mansion as soon as possible, and win the first credit for supporting the new monarch! Before I returned to Liaoyang Mansion, they told me that in order to avoid misunderstanding, more than 20,000 of them had to wait for news in Chenzhou, and they would not dare to march to Liaoyang Mansion until the left-behind adults sent their henchmen to contact them. ”
After finishing speaking, he added: "In addition, on the way from Tai'an to Yidu Mansion, they kept telling the young men and troops they met along the way that Wanyan Liang was absurd and unreasonable, and they wanted to go north to support the new monarch!" Along the way, hundreds of soldiers fled from their original ranks and joined their ranks. The slogans they spread along the way had a great impact on the Shandong army and the people, and they were already full of complaints, but as soon as they shouted the slogans, the people's grievances accumulated in many places boiled, and the people changed in all directions for a while. Before leaving Yidu Mansion, he heard that there had been a civil uprising in six or seven prefectures and counties in Shandong, and the young men who had just been recruited by the local government fled in a blink of an eye, joined the ranks of the people's rebellion, and turned around and began to confront the government. It can be said that Shandong is already in chaos. Shandong is like this, and other places are not much better, and it is estimated that all parts of the south, except for a few big cities, other places have been completely chaotic. Wan Yanliang went south this time, I am afraid that there will be no return. ”
After Shen Jin finished speaking, Wan Yanyong was silent.
Li Shidao: "Wanyan Liang is absurd and unreasonable, brutal and abnormal, he is indestructible and intolerable!" ”
Then he looked at Yan Yong and said, "Now we don't have many choices, there are only three ways to go." The first is to stay in Liaoyang obediently, and when Yan Liang solves the Song Kingdom, he will turn his head and solve us. The second is that Wan Yanliang died in the south, others called the emperor, and there are not many descendants of Taizu, and you are the few descendants left, which will inevitably threaten the throne, the new monarch will still come to kill you, even if he doesn't kill you, he will also keep you under close control, kill you at any time, and kill at any time. The third is that you call yourself the emperor, if Wan Yan Liang did not die in the south, you can still fight with him when you return to the north, if you don't win, it is just a death, if you win, you will win the entire Jin country, not to mention that Wan Yan Liang has offended too many people, if you are the emperor, those people will definitely come to you, you fight with Wan Yan Liang, who wins and who loses, it is difficult to say, but as long as you survive for a year, Wan Yan Liang will undoubtedly lose! Three roads, the first two are dead ends, the third road only needs to take one step, there is a fifty percent chance of winning, and if you take a few more steps, the entire Jin country will be yours. You are the descendant of Taizu, I can't make any choice for you, if you choose to die, my sister and I will die with you, if you choose to live, I will help you seize the throne of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom! ”
After Li Shiqing sincerely analyzed, he quietly looked at Wan Yanyong in front of him, waiting for him to give a definite answer.
Wan Yanyong looked at Li Shi's eyes, obviously a little panicked, his heart was hesitant and entangled, swaying from side to side, and after a while, he was sweating profusely and his face turned red.
It seems that after a long time, Wan Yan Yong finally made up his mind and made up his mind.
I only heard six words slowly spit out of his mouth: "I choose the third way!" ”
"Good! I will arrange it immediately, take Gao Cunfu and Li Yanlong here, and then send someone to Chenzhou to pick up Yan Fushou and others to Liaoyang to conspire with great things! Li Shi was very excited, and immediately said the follow-up plans and arrangements.
Shen Jin couldn't help but secretly exhale, and his heart suddenly felt much lighter.
Li Shi basically handled the follow-up matters single-handedly, and there was no need for others to intervene at all, and he had been preparing for this for a long time.
After the discussion was over, Li Shi, in the name of Wan Yanyong, invited Liaoyang deputy left-behind Gao Cunfu and Li Yanlong, the official of Liaoyang, to come to Jingning Temple for a meeting to discuss the recruitment of Liaoyang young and strong people, and go south to support the imperial court to destroy the Song State.
However, Gao Cunfu and Li Yanlong were very cautious and failed to make a few moves, and other officials quickly recruited Jingning Temple.
An hour later, I heard that the Jingning Temple was safe and sound, and there was nothing abnormal, and after Yan Yong sent someone to convene for the fourth time, Gao Cunfu and Li Yanlong were late.
But they had just entered the gate of Jingning Temple, and before they could enter the council hall, they were arrested by the guards who were ambushed in the temple and put in a secret prison.
Gao Cunfu and Li Yanlong were arrested, and the deliberations ended immediately.
Then, Wan Yan Yong sent his disciple Shan Sizhong and the government official Zhang Mou Luwa to Chenzhou to greet Wan Yan Fushou and others, and asked them about their intentions in person.
Li Shi asked Shen Jin to act as an intermediary, and together with Tushan Sizhong and Zhang Mouluwa, they went to Chenzhou together to avoid accidents.
On the third day of October, Shen Jin rushed to Chenzhou with Wan Yan Yong's henchmen Shan Sizhong and Zhang Mou Luwa and entered Wan Yan Fushou's army.
After the two met Yan Fushou, they immediately asked, "Why is the general here?" ”
Wanyan Fushou immediately replied: "Wanyan Liang is absurd and unreasonable, and he is not worthy of sitting in the world!" Cao Guogong is the grandson of Taizu, and we led our army thousands of miles north, just to support him as the new emperor of our Jin country! ”
After saying this, Wanyan Fushou immediately led the generals to worship in the direction of Liaoyang Mansion, shouting "Long live" more than once, and the momentum was overwhelming.
After worshipping, Wan Yan Fushou handed a handwritten letter to Tu Shan Sizhong, asking him to be sure to present it to Wan Yan Yong.
On the same day, Pegasus galloped to Liaoyang Mansion and sent the news back.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wanyan Fushou was the commander and Gao Zhongjian was the deputy, leading more than 20,000 troops to go north to Liaoyang Mansion and support Wanyan Yong!
Shen Jin saw that the big thing had been accomplished, so he returned to the coast on the same day and led the fleet south, waiting for an opportunity to respond to Yang Congyi.
