Chapter 420: Raising the Flag and Rebelling

Under the protection of four guards, Quan Wanji and the others slowly left Qizhou City and stepped on the official road to Chang'an.

Less than half an hour after they left the city, Li You gathered more than 20 dead soldiers under his command, and together with Zan Junqian, Liang Mengbiao and others, they rode out and chased in the direction of the road where Quan Wanji was traveling.

With a calm face, Li You led the dead soldiers expressionlessly in the direction of Quan Wanji and others.

At this time, Quan Wanji was sitting in the car and walking forward slowly. He closed his eyes slightly, but in his mind, he was thinking about the questions that Li Shimin might ask after meeting Li Shimin, and what his words were.

After pondering for a moment, he lifted the curtain and said to Wei Wenzhen outside the window: "Wen Zhen, are you related to Princess Qi?" ”

Li You's princess is Wei Ting's daughter, and this Wei Wenzhen is also from the Jingzhao Wei family, so Quan Wanji asked this.

Wei Wenzhen hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Quan Wanji's eyes lit up: "Hehe, the old man should have guessed it a long time ago!" When you come back from Beijing this time, Wen Zhen, you will go and talk to the princess, so that the princess can persuade King Qi to one or two, and then the old man will advise from the palace, and Princess Qi will persuade from the palace, which will definitely make King Qi learn better! ”

Wei Wenzhen shook his head: "Lord Quan, this matter is not as simple as you think!" ”

However, Quan Wanji didn't hear Wei Wenzhen's words, lowered the curtain, and began to think about the feasibility of this matter again.

And this Wei Wenzhen glanced around, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why are there no pedestrians on this official road? This pipeline is the only way from Qizhou to Chang'an Luoyang, and at this time in the past, the convoy of business travelers is endless!

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

The sound of the horse's hooves came very quickly, like a shower of rain hitting a lotus leaf, crackling, one after another. As soon as I heard it, someone was galloping on horseback.

Quan Wanji and his party had a total of one carriage and six knights. Of these, four were guards, and the remaining two knights were servants of Wei Wenzhen and Quan Wanji. Hearing the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind him, Quan Wanji's face couldn't help but change. He is the chief of the Qi Palace, and even the history of the Qi Prefecture has to give him three points of face. Now this later knight actually knew that there was a carriage in front of him, and he dared to run so arrogantly on horseback, which really made Quan Wanji unhappy.

When the curtain was lifted to see who would gallop past the carriage, only a few faint sounds of bowstrings were heard, and then feathered arrows fell from the sky, and several screams came out one after another.

Quan Wanji couldn't help but be stunned, he really couldn't imagine that someone would dare to shoot sharp arrows at his convoy.

At this moment, I saw the knight galloping like the wind, galloping past the side of the carriage, and a knight turned around with an arrow and bent the bow at the moment of passing by the carriage, and put the sharp arrow from the window **Ru, straight ** Quan Wanji's forehead.

Quan Wanji's eyes widened unwillingly, and he fell backwards. In his pupils, the face of the archery shooter still appeared, with a cruel smile on his face, it was Liang Mengbiao.

The five knights were quickly cleared out by the twenty-odd dead. In the entire team, only Wei Wenzhen was left.

These dead men held big bows and pointed the arrows in their hands at Wei Wenzhen with expressionless faces, but they did not trigger.

At this time, Li You rode a horse and slowly appeared outside the knight. Seeing Li You's arrival, these knights consciously dodged a way out.

Seeing Li You gradually approaching, this Wei Wenzhen's face sank like water, and the horizontal knife in his hand was clenched, but he didn't dare to pull out the sheath. He was afraid that as soon as the horizontal knife came out of the sheath, the feathered arrows on all sides would immediately turn him into a hedgehog.

"Li You, you robbed and killed the officials of the court, do you want to rebel?" Wei Wen shouted loudly. Just as he spoke, the sound of a bowstring tightening sounded on all sides.

Li You sneered: "Rebellion? Today, this king is going to reverse! Wei Wenzhen, if you know each other, you will immediately write a letter of allegiance and return to this king! For the sake of the princess's face, this king can spare your life! If not......"

As soon as Li You's words fell, the sound of the bowstrings tightening on all sides sounded again.

Wei Wenzhen glanced around at these expressionless dead soldiers, and finally his gaze fell on Li You.

"Li You, you, a villain with no king and no father, are now attacking your teacher, and you want to persuade Lao Tzu to belong to you! Hahaha, you don't pee on what kind of virtue you are......"

Before he finished speaking, more than ten feather arrows were deeply inserted into Wei Wenzhen's body.

Wei Wenzhen's half-unsheathed horizontal knife fell to the ground, and then the whole person also fell off the horse.

"Leave a few people to deal with the scene, and the rest of the people will go back to Qizhou City with me!" The hideousness on Li You's face gradually dissipated, he took a cold look at the scene, and left with a horse.

Returning to Qizhou City, Li You asked the officials of the Qi Palace's palace to gather in the main hall.

As soon as these subordinate officials entered the main hall, there were soldiers in armor who closed the gate of the main hall and pointed at the group of subordinate officials of the Qi Palace, who looked at each other and did not know what to do.

"This king has decided to stand on his own, but who of you wants to follow this king?" Li You's face was full of anger, and he said coldly, "Quan Wanji's old husband and Wei Wenzhen, the two of them don't know how to lift, this king has already sent them down to the underworld, are you willing to follow those two people?" ”

When all the subordinate officials heard Li You say this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, these subordinate officials collectively kowtowed to Li You to express their attachment.

Seeing this situation, Li You laughed a few times, flicked his sleeves, and left the hall.

In the next few days, in order to maintain the stability of Qizhou City, Li You first let people lead troops to control the Assassin's Mansion, and then listened to the words of Yan Hongxin and others, and wantonly sealed officials, and set up official positions such as Shangzhu Kingdom, Kaifu, King Tuodong, and King Tuoxi, and sealed all the ministers around him. After sealing the officials, he opened the treasury, rewarded hundreds of officials and soldiers, drove the people into the city, purchased clothes and armor, repaired the city walls, built arrow towers, and put on a posture of confrontation with the imperial court to the end.

However, the officials and people in the city did not have a good impression of this Li You at all. Now that he is rebelling, he has no popular support at all. These officials and ordinary people abandoned their wives one after another, took advantage of the night, went out at night, and fled to the counties of Qizhou.

Li You was furious when he heard this, and ordered to strengthen the patrol of the city, but it could not be stopped.

Li You also knew that he was infamous in Qizhou City, and now that he was rebelling, he was even more cautious, and when he went out, there were always a large number of guards on his side. However, he still met a man who was not afraid of death.

This man's name is Luo Shishi. When Li You left the house and inspected the city of Qizhou, this Luo Shi rushed to Li You, in front of everyone, counted Li You's various crimes, lifted a spear, and tried to stab Li You to death. However, before this spear could be stabbed, it was slashed out by Yan Hongliang beside Li You, and the gun killed people.

Relying on the city of Qizhou, Li You sent troops to plunder the towns and villages, first, to increase the number of troops, and secondly, to plunder grain and grass for military use. The towns and villages near Qizhou were all looted.

When Li You took more than 100 cavalry to Gao Village, wanting to capture all the people in Gao Village and grab all the food, a tall middle-aged man stood on a boulder at the entrance of the village, pointed at Li You from afar, and scolded loudly with full of anger: "The Lord lifts a three-foot sword to take the world, and it is like the sky." Wang Hu drove hundreds of people in the city to rebel against the monarch's father, which is tantamount to shaking Mount Tai with one hand, why not measure himself! Then, loudly counting the sins of Li You.

Li You was furious, and ordered the soldiers to rush forward and capture this person. When the knife and axe were added, the middle-aged man was not afraid, looking at Li You, his body was straight, and his eyes were direct.

Seeing the generous and awe-inspiring appearance of the middle-aged man, Li You finally made people collect his swords and axes and lead his troops to retreat.

Zan Jun next to him saw Li You's stunned expression, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to remain silent.

After more than 20 days of preparation, Li You finally hoarded enough food in Qizhou City, and the city wall was also strengthened a lot, and as for the soldiers, it was nearly doubled.

After everything was ready, Li You put his mind at ease and enjoyed himself in the attached middle school with peace of mind.

At this time, Li Shimin had already issued an edict, ordering Li Shixian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others to send Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, and Hai Kyushu soldiers to attack Qizhou. Li Shimin obviously didn't take his son seriously, although he sent Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, but the soldiers he transferred were local government soldiers. At this time, the government soldiers were not as good as before, and there were mostly new recruits, and the combat effectiveness and recruitment were not much worse.

In order to better control the city and guard against the official army, Li You summoned five strong martial artists including the Yan Hongxin brothers to sit in the palace of the king of Qi, and the rest of the henchmen led the army to patrol the city and the city.

Li You and Yan Hongliang and others drank and had fun in the palace every night, singing and dancing. Seeing this warbler singing and dancing, hearing the sound of bamboo, and Yan Hongliang and others flattering him, Li You smiled proudly: "Today's ambition, don't forget the merits of everyone!" ”

Several people didn't even dare to say it.

While talking, he casually talked about the officers and soldiers. Li You was a little worried, but Yan Hongliang and the others waved their hands and said without mind: "The king doesn't have to worry! Hongliang and others held the wine in their right hands, and waved a knife for the king in their left hand! ”

When he spoke, his chest beat loudly.

Seeing this, Li You put his mind at ease, raised the wine cup, and said loudly: "Okay!" This king is here to give you a glass! ”

Several people picked up their wine glasses, congratulated Li You, and drank together.

However, what Li You and the others didn't know was that at this time, above the head of Qizhou City, several officers were gathering together, as if they were plotting something. After talking for a moment, he walked away as if nothing had happened.
