The situation is really very chaotic.

People from all walks of life are vying to appear on the stage, and it is really you who sing and I appear.

Hou Mo Chen Yi stayed in Liaodong for Luo Cheng, and his suggestion to Luo Cheng was to let Luo Cheng return to Liaodong as soon as possible, take advantage of the current situation on our side, and immediately support Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, as the Son of Heaven in Liaodong City, and then respect Yang Guang as the emperor, and then send troops under the banner of entering the customs to quell the rebellion.

Attack Hebei first, then go down to Luoyang, and then the world can be determined.

Of course, such a strategy is not bad, but Luo Cheng is still a little hesitant.

"We have put a lot of effort into mobilizing several troops and horses, and now that the armies have joined forces to encircle Fuyuchuan, if we withdraw at this time, we will lose all our efforts. Buyeo River is now the meat of the mouth, and the ripe melon can be reached with a slight twist. Moreover, although the Yuan clan is pressed by us and can't raise his head, he still has strength, he still has a population of no less than three million, 100,000 soldiers, if all the people are soldiers, they can make up two or three hundred thousand people. ”

Luo Cheng was worried that he would lead the loyal army into the customs at this time, and this Yuan Taizuo might make trouble.

"But the arrow has been fired, and we really need to make a banner, otherwise the hearts of the people will be even more panicked."

There is no need to be ambiguous anymore, after all, the emperor has already done it.

"Yang Xuangan raised troops that year, which led to the forced withdrawal of troops from the Second Eastern Expedition, which can be described as a failure, and later we spent a lot of effort to stabilize the situation in Liaodong. Now, if we give up Guanwai because we want to dominate the Central Plains, I don't think it's advisable. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Cheng finally summoned the three kings.

"This marshal will go to Liaodong City to preside over the overall situation, and here is temporarily handed over to Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, two generals, you must obey the dispatch of the two generals and work together."

"Qin Qiong is the main general, Wei Chi is the deputy general, and the other four commanders and envoys such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Pei Xingyan are assisted."

Luo Cheng left all the 4,000 tooth soldiers, and then rushed to Liaodong City.

With a light horse, Luo Cheng hurried south.

Six hundred miles away, Luo Cheng rushed back to Liaodong City in only two days.

Luo Cheng quietly returned to the city, he disguised himself outside the city, and then turned into a Hu merchant and entered the city. After entering the city, he went directly to find Hou Mo, Chen Yi and Wei Zheng.

"Qu Tutong, Feng Deyi, Li Baiyao and others want to rebel!"

As soon as they met, Hou Mo Chen Yi told Luo Cheng bad news.

"We treat them well, but these people have never been with us, and now they are plotting to rebel and cause chaos."

"Don't rush, let's talk slowly." Luo Cheng sat down and took a sip of water before he even came.

Things are actually very simple, although the loyal army is all old brothers who fought with Luo Cheng, the backbone is the same township of Qi County, and there are also the soldiers of the Left Fifth Army during the Eastern Expedition, and then the town guarded Liaodong, this group is getting bigger and bigger.

With the many measures implemented by Luo Cheng, the loyal army is now stationed in Liaodong, and they have also moved their families to Liaodong, and at the same time, they have also divided their fields and placed their family businesses here, and everyone has little to do with the Central Plains.

Even because of the chaos in the Central Plains in recent years, Liaodong is really different from the Central Plains.

Even those generals are all with the same heart as Luo.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who have never been able to integrate into this collective.

For example, Li Jing, who defected before, and Qu Tutong.

Qu Tutong is a veteran, he is not the old man of the earliest Left Fifth Army period, he was later Luo Cheng stayed outside the pass, only to be drawn in, the earliest was Liucheng Taishou, and the original Liaoxi Taishou Wang Rengong is about the same, the old minister of the court, has always won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and is also very loyal to the emperor.

And Feng Deyi and Li Baiyao, one appeases and the other observes, they were themselves sent by the emperor to supervise Luo Cheng, and even both of them were Yu Shiji's people.

"I've been keeping an eye on them, and it turns out that although they haven't seen each other in the past few days, they have sent their entourage to often communicate secretly."

Li Jing was sensitive to the signs that something was wrong with the Zhongwu Army, so he ran away, he had nothing to do with Liaodong, so he didn't know who to trust, so he could only run.

But Qu Tutong and others are different, after all, they have been here for a long time, and most of them still have certain connections and influence. After Li Jing disappeared, they quickly noticed a little movement, so they began to communicate secretly.

Then in the past few days, someone came from the Central Plains, but it was a secret envoy sent by the emperor, and with him as the leader, the secret edict was announced, so everyone immediately formed a group and formed an alliance.

"I have mastered all their small movements, and they have already discussed that while you are still out and have not returned, Qu Tutong will order the civil and military generals of the six counties and four armies to gather in Liaodong City, and then detain everyone, read out the emperor's will, and seize the military power."

Hou Mo Chen Yi was very angry, because in the plan that Feng Deyi had drawn up for Qu Tutong, Luo Cheng loyalists like him would be killed directly in the name of rebellion in the end.

"If you want me to say, let's just send someone to arrest them and kill them all." Hou Mo Chen said.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Sima Wei, what do you think should be done?"

"We haven't raised troops yet, and there are actually many officials and generals below who are not all willing to rebel against us, so it's not appropriate to kill people directly. I thought it would be better to use some means, such as finding a few people to report that Qu Tutong and others had accepted bribes from the Yuan clan and collaborated with the enemy! ”

A collaborator with the enemy, but a felony, especially in such a frontier place, if it is confirmed, it can be directly executed. Not to mention, it will be spurned by all the soldiers.

Luo Cheng thought for a while, "Okay, just do this, but just control them, don't kill them." ”

"Li Jing, where is he locked up, I want to see him."

"We locked him up in his own house in the city, but don't worry, the whole house is surrounded by us."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

To be honest, he values Li Jing very much, but Li Jing treats him like this, which still makes him a little chilled.

Li Jing's house.

Li Jing was locked in his room, his hands and feet locked.

Seeing Luo Cheng appear, Li Jing smiled bitterly.

"Can I see the Red Buddha again?" Li Jing said.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Jing's age, at this time, his hair was disheveled, unkempt, and his face was very bad, and it could be seen that he had not received any preferential treatment during the days he had been locked up here, and he should have even been punished.

"Senior Brother Yao, why are you so troubled?"

Li Jing sighed.

"I'm Sui Chen."

"I'm also Sui Chen." Luo Chengdao.

Li Jing looked at Luo Cheng, "Why do you want to rebel, can't you be a loyal minister, the world is already chaotic enough, why do you want to add chaos to chaos, for personal ambition, you rebel, how many people in the world have to suffer." ”

"You're wrong, it's because it's chaotic and rotten enough that I have to raise an army. I don't hide that there are my personal ambitions, but they are not the main thing. If this is a time of enlightenment, will I rebel, will I dare to rebel, will anyone follow me if I rebel? ”

"It's that the world is too chaotic, it's that the emperor is too mediocre, and it's time for the world to be unbroken and have to change the dynasty."

Li Jing bowed his head.

"I'm just a general, and I just want to be a good general."

"I can understand, so I won't pursue the previous matter, but I hope you will join us from now on."

Li Jing shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't do it!" ”
