……

Just when Liu Ce gathered 40,000 troops and was entrenched in Yanyun Pass to prepare to enter the pass, the news of Duan Hong's proclamation as emperor spread throughout the northern states and provinces in various parts of the pass, and there was a chain reaction all of a sudden......

In Xian'an City, the 46-year-old governor of Shangling Province, Pei Ji, was sitting in the governor's palace and discussing matters related to the river source thieves with officials at all levels.

Pei Ji sighed sadly and indignantly: "Fellow ministers, Duan Rebellion is so rebellious, and he dares to risk the disapproval of the world to claim the emperor's self-reliance, which really makes us and other scholars feel heartbroken......" said and squeezed out a few tears.

A staff member below hurriedly said anxiously: "Lord Governor, don't sigh anymore, now that Duan Hong is the emperor and the pseudo-Chang has become a fact, let's think about what to do next!" ”

Pei Ji hurriedly said when he heard this: "Duan is the emperor, how else can we deal with it?" Is it possible to ask me Pei Ji to send troops to rebel? Didn't the imperial court already send an army of 80,000 palace leaders to Heyuan? ”

The staff member continued: "No, my Shangling is only more than 100 miles away from the border of Heyuan and Jingtai Puppet Chang Gathering Place, if the Puppet Chang army conquers Gaoyang, how about turning around and attacking Chaoyuan?" I have only more than 60,000 defenders in Shangling Province, once the border is broken by the puppet Chang, how can the governor resist the invasion of millions of thieves? ”

"So, how is that good?" Pei Ji hurriedly said, "This governor immediately asked the imperial court for help?" ”

The staff said: "If the imperial court really has soldiers and generals to mobilize, it will not let a scholar like Shi Zongjie lead the troops, Lord Governor, the imperial court is not capable of sending troops to the mausoleum, as for the front division of the palace, they are all new troops who have never seen blood, and the difference is too far against the pseudo-Chang army that licks blood on the knife all year round......

Pei Ji was shocked when he heard this: "Master Di, what do you say the governor should do?" Could it be that I watched Pseudo Chang turn to my Shangling territory and kill my Pei family? ”

The staff said to Pei Ji with a look in his eyes: "Lord Governor, for the sake of today's plan, there is only one way to protect yourself, that is, please ask your lord to recruit You Yong, buy iron to make armor, and enrich the military equipment in the province to cope with future changes......"

Pei Ji was shocked: "Master Di, this is not in line with etiquette, what is the difference between privately recruiting You Yong to expand armaments and rebelling?" If you want to ask the guilt, but the ...... of the Nine Clans"

The staff said: "At this time and that time, imagine that if the puppet thieves turn around and capture Shangling, you will also be unable to escape the blame, and you will not be fully responsible for the court's questioning.

Take a step back, even if the court is not to blame, what about the pseudo-Chang? Will they let you go? Your Excellency, let's do what the official says, I believe that the emperor is wise and will be able to understand your difficulties......"

"Hmm......" Pei Ji replied, then looked at the other bureaucrats in the government and asked, "What are your opinions?" ”

The other dozen or so bureaucrats hurriedly stood up and said, "But it's up to the Governor to decide......"

"That's it!" Pei Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Just do what Dean said, but ......"

Pei Ji said again: "This You Yong is a good move, but the Governor's Mansion doesn't have so much money and food to buy weapons and iron......

Dean said, "Have you forgotten that the five million taels of silver that are going to be handed over to the imperial court and the three and a half million stones of grain and grass that are used for war relief and those silks? It's just right to use it to recruit troops and buy iron......"

Pei Ji suddenly realized: "Thanks to Dian's reminder, the governor almost forgot about this stubble, and now that it is an eventful season, let's embezzle this tax as military expenses for the time being, and immediately pass on the order of the governor's palace, post notices in various parts of Chaoyuan, and recruit You Yong to resist the invasion of the puppet Chang......"

"Wise ...... Adults"

Everyone in the palace stood up and saluted, but when they leaned over, they each had a smile on their faces that had succeeded in their conspiracy, which was particularly strange......

……

Pei Ji wanted to support the army to protect himself, but there were still some scholars who had long harbored different intentions who were bold, such as Huajin of Liyang Province.

"It seems that this big Zhou Qi is exhausted, and even a thief can't handle it, hundreds of thousands of horses of the Thunder Army were blocked by a group of thieves in Gaoyang and Wuliang, tsk, tsk, ridiculous......"

Hua Jin sat in his palace hall, looking at the Heyuan information sent in his hand, and couldn't stop laughing.

Hua Jin's son Hua Cong said: "Dad, even a thief like Duan Hong dares to stand up as the emperor, my Hua family is a world-class lord, but I can only condescend to the position of guard in Quanyang Mansion, it is really embarrassing......"

Hua Jin sneered and said: "Sensei am aggrieved, my Hua family has been ninja for a long time, I think my Hua family was also the founding father of the country back then, but now I am treated like this by Wei Zhen, the dog emperor, looking at Yue Xinwen, a dog fighter, from time to time in front of the old man to put a stinky shelf, I can't get angry......"

"So Dad, what are you going to do now?" Hua Cheng whispered.

Hua Jin glanced outside the house, and after making sure that there was no one, he said to Hua Cong: "Since the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unkind to me, then don't blame me for the injustice of the Hua family, the man should live vigorously in the world, and now the gods are eventful, and the court has no time to look north, it is when my Hua family is in power, I have already secretly established an army of 100,000 people, and when the time is ripe, I will enter the governor's mansion and cut off Yue Xinwen's head, and I will also live the emperor's ......addiction."

"Dad, be cautious......" Hua Cong hurriedly said, "You are a rebellion......"

"Rebellion?" Hua Jin sneered, "Back then, Taizu wasn't the world that rebelled? Now that even Duan Hong can dance and stand up as the emperor, is it possible that my dignified flower family is not as bold as a thief?

What's more, my father had already seen that this Da Zhou was an empty shell, otherwise how could he let Shi Zongjie lead the palace to help Heyuan? Joke, what is this Shi Zongjie? Also worthy of being the commander of the first army? In my opinion, this battle to aid Heyuan will be a fiasco, and when the time comes, the world will be in chaos, and you and my father and son will not be in vain if they do something big......"

Hua Cong was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Then if you succeed father, I ...... it."

Hua Jin glanced at him with slanted eyes and said with a smile: "You will enter the East Palace and be crowned the crown prince......"

"Thank you, father, ......" Hua Cong was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Hua three times and nine times.

Hua Jin was also overjoyed, and pretended to say to Hua Cong: "Hahaha, I don't have to be polite, I don't have to be polite, I ...... flat."

After Hua Cong got up, he said to Hua Jin: "Without further ado, Erchen will order someone to make the dragon robe, and when the momentum is successful, he will not be in a hurry......

Hua Jin nodded: "It's still thoughtful as my son, I'm going to play ......."

"Hahahaha......"

The smug laughter of Hua Jin's father and son echoed in the room, fantasizing about the moment when he ascended to the Ninety-Five......

Pei Ji and Hua Jin are just a microcosm of these dissident warriors, and soon there will be a short-term warlord division in the northern states and provinces, and all kinds of ugliness will appear, either supporting the army and respecting themselves or claiming to be the emperor and self-reliant, completely sweeping the face of the Great Zhou royal family spotless......

Of course, this is just a fuse, the real storm of Da Zhou is still behind, and he will directly sweep away his last fig leaf mercilessly......
