"Brothers, the main reason why you are gathered here today is to consider the future of your brothers!" Li Yanxian looked around, and waited until the surroundings were quiet before he spoke aloud.

"For the sake of our future?" When the leaders of the rebels heard this, they immediately talked about it.

"Yes, for the sake of the brothers' future! Our rebels have been in northern Shaanxi for two years, and although we have repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers in the past two years, we have also suffered a lot of damage! And we don't have food, grass and weapons, and no external help, if we want to gain a long-term foothold in northern Shaanxi, it is simply impossible! I have sent someone to contact Emperor Jianyan in Jiangnan, and Emperor Jianyan has decided to recruit us! From now on, we will be Emperor Jianyan's subordinates! Emperor Jianyan has appointed me as the envoy of Guan Shaanxi Xuanfu, and the Feng Shifu brothers have been appointed as the deputy envoy of Guan Shaanxi Xuanfu! In addition, all the other brothers have rewards! From now on, we will be official people! Li Yanxian said.

Li Yanxian's words came out, and the leaders of the rebel army below were in an uproar! Not only the leader of the rebel army, but also the surrounding rebel minions are also talking! They never thought it would be such a big news!

In fact, in the past two years, the 36th Route Rebels in northern Shaanxi often mentioned the matter of defecting to the imperial court, after all, their strength is too weak, and they can only continue to survive with the help of the imperial court!

But the leaders of the Thirty-Sixth Route Rebel Army had different opinions, so they never really decided!

But this time, Li Yanxian actually took refuge in Emperor Jianyan in Jiangnan without consulting with everyone, and also accepted the position of the so-called "Guanshan Xuanfu Envoy", for a while the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army were in disbelief, and many people looked at Li Yanxian with surprise and suspicion!

"Brother Li, why don't we know about this?" Li Shifu stood up and said.

"I just decided! Moreover, the envoy of Emperor Jianyan has already come to Yan'an Mansion, and I have already met with him, so I decided to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan! Li Yanxian said.

"Emperor Xuanwu also sent people here, why are you unwilling to join Emperor Xuanwu?" Li Shifu said.

"Emperor Jianyan is old! In today's troubled times, it is natural to follow Emperor Jianyan! Li Yanxian said.

"Although Emperor Jianyan is old, he is timid and incompetent! We have already received the news that the Jurchens went south, and Emperor Jianyan actually fled to the sea, and he didn't dare to fight the Jurchens at all! Although Emperor Xuanwu was young, he was brave and resolute, defeated tens of thousands of Jurchen troops, broke the myth of Jurchen invincibility, and recaptured Chang'an! In contrast to the two, everyone knows which is stronger and which is weaker, how can you choose the incompetent Emperor Jianyan and give up Emperor Xuanwu? Li Shifu asked.

After hearing Li Shifu's words, the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army below were also discussing, and many people were waiting for Li Yanxian to give them an answer.

"Brothers, listen to me! Regarding the war in Jiangnan, everything is just rumors! It is rumored outside that Emperor Jianyan fled to the sea, but we are in northern Shaanxi, the news is not accurate, and no one knows whether it is true or not! As for Emperor Xuanwu's personal expedition, this is even more of a joke! The so-called royal expedition is nothing more than hiding behind the army, and once the army fails, he will flee immediately! In the troubled times, there are too many rumors, we can't believe the rumors! Also, Emperor Jianyan has a large number of soldiers and horses, needless to say that Lord Zongze has two million rebels, and the rest of Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Wang Yuan and others have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses! The Jurchen army of more than 100,000 people who went south was not their opponent, and they were finally driven away, which shows how strong their strength is! We should take refuge in the strong, don't you think? Li Yanxian said.

After Li Yanxian's words were finished, there was another discussion below, and many leaders and soldiers of the rebel army nodded one after another!

"Brother Li, I don't agree with this! Emperor Jianyan had a lot of soldiers and horses, but they didn't dare to fight with the female real face! The Jurchens just had their grain and grass cut off and had to retreat! On the contrary, Emperor Xuanwu truly defeated the Jurchens, and his combat power was far stronger than that of Emperor Jianyan! Li Shifu said.

After Li Shifu said this, the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army below were stunned, and then nodded again.

"The reason why Emperor Xuanwu was able to defeat the Jin soldiers was mainly because the main forces of Guan Shaanxi went to the Central Plains, and there were not many soldiers and horses left! Guan Shaanxi is empty, so Emperor Xuanwu was able to defeat the Jurchens! If Emperor Jianyan is in Guanshan, he will definitely be able to defeat the Guanshan Jurchen! Li Yanxian said.

"No matter what you say, big brother, what I see is that Emperor Jianyan is not an opponent of the Jurchens, and Emperor Xuanwu defeated the Jurchens! You take refuge in the incompetent Emperor Jianyan, not the heroic Emperor Xuanwu, I don't agree! Li Shifu said.

Li Yanxian frowned, he knew that Li Shifu's status in the rebel army was also very high! The Thirty-six Roads of the Righteous Army in Northern Shaanxi, of which more than ten roads belong to Li Yanxian's lineage, and they obey Li Yanxian's words, but there are still more than ten roads that are Li Shifu's lineage! This Li Shifu is actually not from the rivers and lakes, but from a family of soldiers in the northwest! After the Jurchen invasion, this Li Shifu also raised a rebel army, and then Li Shifu also won several victories, so he was supported by everyone! Even Li Yanxian had to consider Li Shifu's attitude!

"Brother, I have to do this for the sake of the 36th Route Rebel Army in northern Shaanxi! After we took refuge in Emperor Jianyan, wouldn't it be good for each of us to have officials to do? Li Yanxian said.

"Brother Li, if we take refuge in Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu will not treat us badly! There is another reason why I don't agree to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan! Li Shifu said.

"What is the reason?" Li Yanxian said.

"Emperor Xuanwu is the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, and before he ascended the throne, he was the rightful crown prince! It is a matter of course that he inherits the throne and takes charge of the Great Song Dynasty! Emperor Jianyan was only a vassal king before, and he was not qualified to be an emperor at all! Therefore, I do not agree to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan! Li Shifu said.

"Brother, why are you so pedantic?" Li Yanxian frowned.

"A man should speak a word of loyalty! I think this loyalty is loyalty to Emperor Xuanwu, not to Emperor Jianyan, who usurped the throne! Li Shifu said categorically.

The two of them are arguing here, and the leaders and soldiers of the rebels below are also arguing! Some people support defection to Emperor Jianyan, some people support defection to Emperor Xuanwu, and there was a lot of chaos around for a while!

The sky was still unusually gloomy, and at that moment suddenly a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, followed by a rumbling thunderclap!

After the lightning bolt, the surroundings gradually quieted down!

"Brothers, there is another reason why I agreed to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian came to the center of the high platform again and said loudly.

"I don't know why?" The leaders below asked.

"It was really because of the persuasion of a senior master that I decided to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian said.

"I don't know which senior master?" Suddenly there was humanity.

"Immortal Lin Chang, please come up!" Li Yanxian said respectfully.

Then I saw a Taoist priest come out of a nearby room and come towards the high platform!

Seeing this Taoist priest, those ordinary soldiers were also gone, and many of the leaders of the rebel army had shocked expressions on their faces!

"Lin Lingsu Lin Immortal! That's right, it's Lin Xianchang! ”

"It's really Lin Immortal Chang! He once came to the northwest and instructed my master! ”

"Yes, it's him! Back then, he summoned the masters of the Northwest martial arts and went to assassinate the Western Xia generals! On that day, my father once followed him to the Xixia military camp, and my father praised Lin Xianchang! ”

"Sure enough, it's Lin Xianchang, the number one master in the rivers and lakes today! Known as the immortal! That's right, it's him! ”

The leaders of the rebel army above stood up one after another, and saluted towards Lin Lingsu at this moment!

"This one is the first person in the rivers and lakes, Lin Lingsu, Lin Immortal!" Li Yanxian said with some excitement.

When the rebel soldiers below heard the words "Lin Lingsu", they immediately stayed there! Many of the people in the rebel army have something to do with the rivers and lakes, how can they not have heard of the name of this powerful person! They were sluggish at first, and then excited, they saw the number one master of martial arts!

"Lin Xianchang came on the orders of Emperor Jianyan, and he asked us to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan, shall we agree?" Li Yanxian laughed and said.

"Naturally, I have to say yes!"

"Of course I have to say yes!"

"I have to say yes!"

For a while, the leaders and soldiers of the surrounding rebels shouted one after another!

"Shifu, Immortal Lin personally came here to persuade us to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan, do you still want to be stubborn?" Li Yanxian looked at Li Shifu again and said.

"Emperor Jianyan ascended the throne after all, and I can't take refuge in him and become a traitor!" Li Shifu said.

"Emperor Jianyan is the destiny of heaven, the true dragon son of heaven, in the future, this Great Song Dynasty will become Emperor Jianyan sooner or later! If you don't take refuge in him now, who will you turn to? Lin Lingsu said.

Before Li Shifu could speak, a rebel soldier walked up below!

This rebel soldier was brought by Li Shifu, and this person didn't look very old, he seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old!

At this moment, he smiled and said: "Lin Xianchang said that he was joking, King Kang's traitor was disloyal and unfilial, immoral and incompetent, and he was not enough to become an emperor, how could the Thirty-six Route Righteous Army take refuge in him?" ”
