At the beginning of the choice, Zhang Ge thought that he should rely on powerful feudal towns like Huainan Yang Xingmi and Hedong Li Ke to fight against Zhu Quanzhong, after all, these two feudal towns are not only powerful, but also have a great enmity with Zhu Quanzhong, so the possibility of them sending troops is the greatest.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Jun finally chose Wang Shifan, a feudal town with relatively weak strength and a good relationship with Zhu Quanzhong.

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "Otherwise, after Yang Xingmi sent troops to Suzhou in June and returned in vain, now his mind is completely focused on the south, only thinking about how to fight for land, where is there still a little loyalty in his heart?" As for Li Keyong, hey, that's not to mention! ”

When Li Ke was mentioned, Zhang Jun was obviously a little disdainful. At the beginning, Li Keyong was the first force in the world to rebel, and even before the Huangchao Uprising, it was the most unruly feudal town at that time.

Therefore, when the prestige of Li Ye, the Son of Heaven, was still alive, in order to weaken the local feudal towns, the first target he chose to defeat was Li Keyong. And Zhang Jun was also a strong crusader against Li Ke at that time, knowing that this person was not a loyal minister.

What's more, Li Keyong has now been disabled by Zhu Quanzhong, and he is currently seizing the time to recover his strength, where can he dare to challenge Zhu Quanzhong again in the short term.

As for whether Wang Shifan will raise troops, Zhang Jun thinks it is possible.

First, Zhang Jun learned that although Wang Shifan had always maintained a good relationship with Zhu Quanzhong, the relationship between the two sides was actually not as good as outsiders imagined, at least Wang Shifan was often worried that Zhu Quanzhong would annex him.

The second is that Wang Shifan is elegant and Confucian, and loves fame and fortune, and it may be difficult to say that the slogan of "raising troops to serve the king and serving the Son of Heaven" may be difficult to move Yang Xingmi and Li Ke to use these heroes, but it is very attractive to people like Wang Shifan.

The third and most important point is that Wang Shifan actually has the ambition to raise troops to fight for the Central Plains. Now Zhu Quanzhong's main force is still in Guanzhong, the Central Plains is empty, and in order to contain Huainan, Zhu Youning led the remaining main army of the Central Plains to be stationed in Suzhou, which has caused a further emptiness in the prefectures and counties near Qingzhou, which is a good time to raise troops and sneak attack.

Therefore, Zhang Jun believes that Wang Shifan will definitely not be able to resist raising troops. In order to achieve this goal, he forged a holy decree for Wang Fan Qinwang on the one hand, and wrote an enthusiastic handwritten letter on the other hand, explaining the benefits and disadvantages for Wang Fan Chen.

"Okay, don't think about this matter, our Zhang family has been loyal and good for generations, and we have been full of imperial favor, so we naturally want to serve my Datang. If you can persuade Wang Fan to raise troops this time, it will be fine, if not, then it is also the will of God! ”

On the same day, no one expected that a good show was being staged on the mansion of Wang Shifan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, who had always been considered a vassal of Zhu Quanzhong.

I heard a young man of about thirty years old, dressed in brocade clothes and dignified, howling and crying in the hall: "The reason why many of our feudal towns have their own armies is that they are all used to protect the Son of Heaven; If there is trouble today, he will be humiliated by Zhu Quanzhong, but many feudal towns only want to support the army to protect themselves; Although I don't have many troops in Qingzhou, no matter what success or failure, I will raise troops to fight against the traitors! ”

It turned out that this person was Wang Shifan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu. Just now he received a "secret edict", in which he neither dismissed Wang Shifan and appointed Zhu Jin as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, nor did he reprimand Wang Shifan for colluding with Zhu Quanzhong, but enthusiastically praised Wang Shifan's loyalty to the Son of Heaven, and showed that the Son of Heaven was now suffering in Fengxiang, and Zhu Quanzhong had the ambition to kill the monarch and stand on his own, hoping that Wang Shifan would immediately raise an army against Zhu Quanzhong.

In Zhang Jun's letter, he advised Wang Shifan to immediately raise volunteers, do the current Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Kuang Fu Sheji, rebuild the Tang Dynasty, and build an immortal contribution.

After receiving the edict and Zhang Jun's letter, Wang Shifan, who had always liked Confucian classics, was deeply moved and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Jie Shuai, this ......" After listening to Wang Shifan's words, the Pinglu generals standing solemnly below changed their colors.

Although they all heard the edict of the Son of Heaven just now, what does this concern them? And in the past, wasn't Pinglu Town always deferential to Zhu Quanzhong?

At the beginning, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy was too powerful, so it was divided into three by the imperial court, of which Yun, Cao, and Pu were the Tianping Jiedu envoys, Zi, Qing, Qi, Deng, and Lai were still the Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu envoys, and the Yi, Hai, Yan, and Mi prefectures were the Taining Jiedu envoys.

And Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin were eliminated by Zhu Quanzhong long ago, and Zhu Jin and Li Chengsi led the army south to take refuge in Yang Xingmi, and Wang Shifan's Pinglu Jiedu was able to survive because he had always been obedient to Zhu Quanzhong.

Now, if you raise an army to fight against Zhu Quanzhong according to the edict, isn't this going to death? What's more, in their eyes, Wang Shifan doesn't look like a person who is so loyal to the Son of Heaven?

When Wang Shifan had just inherited the position of Pinglu Jiedu envoy, Li Ye, the son of heaven, thought that he had found an opportunity to recover Pinglu Town, so he immediately ordered to send the prince and young master Cui Anqian as the new Pinglu Jiedu envoy, and went to Dizhou to prepare for his post after being received by Zhang Chan, the assassin of Dizhou who did not obey Wang Shifan.

If Wang Shifan was really a loyal man, then he should have accepted the appointment of the imperial court at that time; However, Wang Shifan not only rejected the edict of the Son of Heaven, but ordered Lu Hong to lead his troops to attack Dizhou.

Unexpectedly, this Lu Hong also rebelled and was ready to lead the army back to Qingzhou. When Wang Shifan learned about it, he sent an envoy to bribe Lu Hong and told him: "It is only because of my father's relationship that I was elected by everyone to be in today's position, which is not my original intention." You also know that I am young and can't do anything, if you still remember the affection with your late father and don't let the Wang family cut off the next worship, it will be your great benevolence and righteousness; If you think that I am not suitable to continue to reign, then I am willing to give up and leave all the affairs of the military government to you to preside, just ask me not to kill me, so that I can guard the spirits of my ancestors. ”

Lu Hong saw that he was sincere in his words and young age, so he lost his guard, and only thought that Wang Shifan was scared in his heart. However, what he didn't expect was that when he entered Qingzhou City and wanted to take over, Wang Shifan secretly ordered Liu Cheng to put him on the seat and kill several fellow rebels. Then, Wang Shifan took Liu Cheng as his deputy, rewarded the soldiers, personally led the army to attack Dizhou, captured Zhang Chan, and forced Cui An to escape and return to Chang'an. Later, Li Ye was also forced to appoint Wang Shifan as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival.

If Wang Shifan is a loyal minister, when Li Ye issued the will, at least the authority of the Son of Heaven remains, and the meaning of the holy decree can definitely be the meaning of Li Ye himself, but Wang Shifan chose to crusade by force at the beginning; Such a person doesn't look like a loyal minister no matter how he looks at it, at least none of the generals of Pinglu Town present believe it.

However, now Wang Shifan is crying at a holy decree that clearly represents Li Maozhen's will, which cannot but surprise everyone.

"Do you feel saddened by the plight of the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is in trouble, how can we sit idly by? Wang Shifan above still cried bitterly and said.
