"What!" Xu Jue's first reaction was shock, followed by extreme regret, he actually forgot that Li Shimin was a very ambitious emperor, he could force his father to abdicate and become the son of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not occupy Chaisang and rebel against himself? He was so stupid that he didn't take more precautions against him, and leaving him in Chaisang, who was far away from his territory, was simply letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

"Your Majesty, three days ago, Li Shimin suddenly led his troops to control the barracks in the city and the city gates, killed important officials one by one, and then seized the military power of the last general, and the last general was able to escape from Chaisang because of the cover of the general, and came to report!" Meng Liang immediately knelt on the ground and bowed his head and handed over.
"Hateful!" Xu Qi shouted angrily, turned around and put his hands behind his back, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about his next move.
"Meng Liang. Get up first. After a long time, Xu Jue turned around and looked at Meng Liangdao, whose hair was slightly messy and his expression was slightly embarrassed, "It's good that you can live, it's not a big deal to lose a Chaisang City, if you die because of this, I will feel uneasy." ”
"Your Majesty......" When Meng Liang heard this, he was moved, knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed, "How can the last general, how can he be so valued by His Majesty!" Don't ask for anything else, but ask for your best! ”
"Please get up, please get up." Xu Jue sighed and helped Meng Liang up, "You can tell me what happened in detail." ”
"Well," Meng Liang nodded, "That day, Li Shimin suddenly invited the last general to sit at the table, and there were other officials with him, and the last general gladly accepted, drank to the halfway point, and suddenly killed dozens of soldiers from the outside, and killed those officials, and in a hurry, the last general retreated from the back and rode to the city gate, but he didn't want to be controlled by Li Shimin, but fortunately, he met the general, who led me to retreat from the path, so I was able to escape." ”
"This Li Shimin's rebellion must have been planned for a long time, so do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city? The power of the army is in your hands. Xu Qi asked.
Xu Qi is not completely wary of Li Shimin, in his opinion, as long as Li Shimin's military power is restricted, it will be no problem, if he wants to rebel, no matter how big his ambition is, what is the use of no soldiers and horses?
And the military power of Chaisang City is all in the hands of Meng Liang, but Li Shimin is not an ordinary person after all, and he still succeeded in rebelling without military power, in the final analysis, it was not all because of Xu Qi's negligence.
"Your Majesty, at the end of this period, you will follow your strategy to recruit troops, and more than 5,000 people have been recruited in more than a year, and now Chaisan has a total of about 14,000 soldiers."
"More than fourteen thousand ......" Xu Qi pondered and asked, "Plus sailors?" ”
"Yes."
"That's not right!" Xu Jue seemed to suddenly be able to think of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated, "Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are still training the navy in Chaisang, by the way, there is also a Li Changgeng!" ”
"Your Majesty, the last general doesn't know what happened to these three generals, but Li Changgeng is a distant relative of Li Shimin, and he must have already surrendered to him." Meng Liang said.
"......" Xu Jue looked out of the door worriedly, hoping to see Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin rushing to return to life, as Meng Liang said, Li Changgeng and Li Shimin are relatives, and he no longer expects him to be loyal; As for Jiang Qin Zhoutai, if he died in the Chaisan turmoil, it would be too ...... It's bloody!
"Your Majesty, there are two people outside the door asking to see you!" At this time, another forbidden soldier came to report.
"Could it be Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai?" Xu Qi was excited, full of hope, "Pass in!" ”
"No!"
Not long after, the two entered, it was Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, when they saw Xu Qi, they immediately knelt on the ground, "The last general is incompetent, lost Chaisang!" ”
"Not guilty!" Xu Qi helped the two of them up and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fang Cai is talking to General Meng Liang about this matter, and he is worried about the two of you, but fortunately the two of you are fine!" ”
"Your Majesty, the two of us were able to escape from Chaisang, thanks to General Li!" Zhou Tai shook his head and sighed.
"Li Changgeng?" Xu Qi asked.
"Exactly, he knew that Li Shimin wanted to make a move, and quietly let the two of us go when there was chaos in the city, otherwise I am afraid that the two of us will never see Your Majesty again."
“…… This Li Changgeng also has merits. Xu Qi said.
"Your Majesty, when Li Changgeng let go of the two of us, he personally said that he would repay His Majesty and exchange him for the two of us, and he will not owe you from now on."
"Hehe, I know!" Xu Jue smiled slightly, "It's okay for the two of you to be fine." ”
"That's right," Xu Qi suddenly looked at Meng Liang with a straight face, "You said that Li Shimin/United Jiangdong Lu Family, his Lu family is a big family, but why is he willing to unite with Li Shimin, the little Taishou, and betray me?" ”
"Your Majesty, as far as the last general knows, Li Shimin's father, Li Yuan, is in business on the surface, but in fact he has a lot of connections with the family, and he was very close to the Lu family before this, and this Chaisang rebellion is indispensable for the Lu family's participation." Meng Liang said.
"What is the Lu family involved in?" Xu Jue was puzzled and asked.
"I heard that this turmoil is mainly due to the manpower provided by the Lu family to help Li Shimin, and this leader is called 'Lu Wenlong'."
"What! Lu Wenlong! Hearing this name, Xu Jue was suddenly shocked, there were too many surprises today, first the system change, then Chaisang had an accident, and now there is a Lu Wenlong.
"Your Majesty? Have you heard of Lu Wenlong? Meng Liang was puzzled, is such a junior worthy of Xu Jue's reaction so strongly?
"Ahem......" Xu Qi coughed lightly, "I don't know, but I once heard that the Lu family has a young hero, who is good at using two guns, and has the courage of ten thousand people." ”
"Well, this is true, this Lu Wenlong does use two guns, and he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he has good skills, and he must confess his life within three moves." Meng had palpitations in his conscience, obviously seeing Lu Wenlong's terrible.
"Well, that's a bit tricky to say...... Xu Jue deliberately muttered, turned around for a moment and said, "You guys go down and rest first." ”
"The last will retire!" The three of them gave up and left one after another.
"Cold Night!"
"The last general!"
"Call Gong Jin."
"Yes!" The cold night retreated.
Not long after, Zhou Yu came over, saluted and said, "Why did Your Majesty call me here?" ”
"Gong Jin, Li Shimin rebelled in Chaisang." Xu Jue looked at Zhou Yu and slowly spoke.
“!” Zhou Yu suddenly showed a surprised look, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"And he also united the Jiangdong Lu family." Xu Qi continued.
"The Lu family?" Zhou Yu frowned, "What a big guts!" Although it is the largest family in Jiangdong, why dare it be so! ”
"I know that the four major families in Jiangdong are Lu, Zhou, Zhang, and Gu, and these family elders are all hereditary officials, eating Hanlu, but the Lu family actually rebelled!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thought that he should get rid of Li Shimin as soon as possible when his foundation was not stable, and when he saw him at first glance, Weichen knew that this person was very deep in the city, and now he is openly rebelling, and with the support of the Lu family, he may become a great enemy in time." Zhou Yu arched his hand.
"Well, Gong Jin is reasonable, Chaisang belongs to Jingzhou, and Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, is a member of the Han family, and I asked him to crusade against Li Shimin as the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, what do you think of this plan?" Xu Qi frowned.
Liu Biao, in fact, Xu Jue has long wanted to get rid of him, although this person has a good reputation, but it is not of much use, Jingzhou is a treasure land, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan has been fighting, but in the romance, Liu Biao occupies Jingzhou, and there are more than 100,000 male soldiers, but he does nothing, he simply occupies the pit and does not...... No, occupy the treasure land and don't dig the treasure...... And when I think so, there is a kind of meaning of 'sandpiper and mussel competing for fisherman's profit'.
"Your Majesty, no." Zhou Yu objected.
"Why?"
"Although Liu Biao has no ambitions, but he is pretentious, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has never said anything, His Majesty's order, Liu Biao will definitely refuse, so it may worsen the already bad relationship, if it is forced to the extreme, Liu Biao may even unite Li Shimin and us as enemies." Zhou Yu said.
Zhou Yu is a professional after all, and the long-term thinking is not comparable to himself, Xu Jue nodded, "Then how about I?" ”
"Your Majesty, we can express our goodwill to Liu, so as to ......"
"Report! Kyung Zhao Yin asks to see you! "Suddenly, the forbidden army outside the door entered to report.
"Come in!"
"Wechen greets Your Majesty." Guo Jia saluted, his face full of surprise, "Your Majesty, Mo Lan seems to have returned to before, all thanks to Your Majesty's help!" ”
"Hehe, it's good to recover, it's good to recover." Xu Qi smiled.
"Huh?" Guo Jia turned his head and saw that Zhou Yu's expression was serious, and Xu Qi's eyes seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be that what happened?" ”
"Hmm......" Xu Qi saw that Guo Jia was not an outsider, so he told him what happened to Chaisang.
"There is such a thing!" Guo Jia was shocked.
"Fang Cai Gongjin is offering advice to assist me in dealing with Li Shimin, Feng Xiao is my confidant, Gongjin, you continue." Xu Qi said.
"Obey the order, we can show favor to Liu Biao, stabilize him first, and then send troops through his territory to attack Li Shimin, although the road is quite long, but there is no need to worry."
"Hehe......" Suddenly, Guo Jia laughed silently.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Yu was puzzled, and so was Xu Qi, but Zhou Yu was quicker, so he asked first.
"Hehe, Gong Jin, have you ever heard of the False Dao Extermination?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"You mean to give up attacking Liu Biao in the name of attacking Li Shimin!" Zhou Yu suddenly realized, but immediately shook his head in denial, "In this way, Your Majesty will not be discredited." ”
"Gongjin is too worried, let me ask you, is Liu Biao Hanchen?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Yes......" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Then let me ask you again, did Liu Biao ever exercise the reality of Hanchen?" Guo Jia continued to ask with a smile.
"There is no ......," Zhou Yu said.
"Hehe, in that case, Your Majesty can let Liu Biao send troops to attack Li Shimin, if he has a better order; If we don't comply, we can retreat and exercise the strategy of 'false way to destroy the enemy', and the reason for sending troops is Liu Biao's resistance! Guo Jia smiled meaningfully.
