"I'm not going either."

Dong Kangmai stood up and said angrily: "Li Yuan is hypocritical, saying that as long as he surrenders, he will be treated favorably, but after Wang Shichong surrenders, General Zheng Guobu is not the same as death." If we go to Chang'an, it will definitely be a dead end. ”

"That's right, he killed the Lord, and it was merciful that I didn't kill him, so how could I serve him? I'm not going. Cao Zhan's face was full of anger.

Others chimed in: "No, no." ”

Seeing this, Fan Yuan proposed: "It's better for us to do the opposite." ”

This is said to the hearts of everyone, who have long had this idea, but have been waiting for others to start this.

Everyone hit it off and immediately decided to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty.

"However, the crown prince has already demoted Li Yuan, and he is not worthy of being our leader. Since we are going to raise an army, we must not be left without a leader, we should first choose a leader. ”

Hearing Cao Zhan's words, everyone was in a dilemma, who should be the right leader?

Looking around, except for Gao Yaxian, who is a little bit "virtuous and respectful", everyone else doesn't seem to be suitable to be the leader.

"Why don't we ask someone with advanced Taoism to divinate a hexagram." Fan Yuan proposed.

The crowd looked at each other, and this seemed to be the most appropriate approach.

So, they found an old Taoist priest and asked him to divinate the hexagrams.

The old Taoist priest made a hexagram and said to them: "If you want to succeed, you should elect someone surnamed Liu." ”

The first thing that everyone thought of was Liu Ya.

So, after many inquiries, they found Liu Ya and told him about the plan to raise troops against Tang.

Who knows, Liu Ya disagreed with their plan, he said: "Now, most of the Central Plains has been returned to Li Yuan, and Xiao Mo and others will not last long, and Li Yuan's unification of the world is a foregone conclusion."

"At that time, our Xia Kingdom was in its heyday and did not defeat the Tang Army, not to mention that with our current strength, we could not compete with it at all.

"If you want to be soldiers, I have no opinion, but I don't want to fight anymore, so please come back."

Seeing Liu Ya's resolute attitude, Cao Zhan suddenly pulled out his saber and stabbed it into Liu Ya's body.

"You ......"

Liu Ya looked at Cao Zhan in shock, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and staining his clothes red along his neck.

"The Lord has been gracious to you, but thou hast been ungrateful, lustful for pleasure, and unwilling to avenge the Lord. You unkind and unrighteous villain, I will kill you. ”

Cao Zhan looked hideous, pulled out his knife, and stabbed Liu Ya several times in a row.

He didn't stop until Liu Ya died of anger.

Although the others were taken aback by Cao Zhan's sudden move, they did not step forward to stop them, but indifferently watched Cao Zhan kill people.

Liu Ya was reluctant to join them, and learned of their plan that she must die.

"What to do? Where should we go now to find someone surnamed Liu? Dong Kangmai asked.

Gao Yaxian thought for a while: "There is another person, I heard that after the Duke of Handong County escaped from the Tiger Prison Pass that day, he disappeared, and the Tang Army was also looking for him. ”

At the mention of Liu Heimin, Fan Yuan's eyes lit up: "I think I should know where he is." ”

......

"Alas~"

Liu Heimin took the hoe, turned over the soil and sighed: "I think that the hand that my dignified general used to kill the enemy, but now he uses it to hold the hoe, it is really a tyrannical thing." ”

Although he was a peasant at the beginning, he was used to being a general and enjoyed the glory and wealth, and then he was not used to being a peasant again.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

"General Liu......"

Liu Heimin made a pause and looked up at the sky, isn't he daydreaming again?

Now that he is now, how can anyone still call him "General Liu"?

"General Liu......"

The voice came from far and near, and suddenly it sounded behind him.

Liu Heimin was shocked, picked up the hoe and hit it back.

As soon as his hand sank, the hoe was firmly grasped, and then Fan Yuan's face appeared in front of him: "General Liu, it's me." ”

"How are you?"

Liu Heimin was very surprised, immediately let go of his hand, and saw several people behind him, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "Why are you all here?" ”

"We're here to discuss something important with General Liu." Cao Zhan said mysteriously.

Liu Heimin immediately said: "Let's go, go to my house." ”

At that time, Liu Heimin fled all the way to his hometown, and he was already penniless, with only a few acres of land and a dilapidated house at home.

The only thing of value was the cattle used to work, but Liu Heimin killed the cow without saying a word and used it to entertain Gao Yaxian and others.

Fan Yuan went to the villagers' houses and bought a few jars of wine, and then everyone sat together, drank wine and ate meat.

Liu Heimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is still a day when he drinks wine and eats meat in a big bowl, and he is really embarrassed to die hiding in his hometown and farming during this time.

"Brother Liu, we are here this time to elect you as our leader and lead us to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty."

When the wine was hot, Fan Yuan said what he meant.

Everyone thought that Liu Heimin would refuse, and even if he wouldn't refuse, at least he would think about it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Heimin heard this, he immediately patted the table and said, "Okay, since you think so highly of Liu, Liu will be arrogant and take over this burden." ”

Instead of farming, it is better to do a great job vigorously, even if you die, it is better than living like this.

Thinking of this, Liu Heimin's gaze became even more determined.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, and immediately knelt down and shouted, "Meet the chief." ”

......

Two days later, Liu Heimin recruited more than 100 people, attacked Zhangnan County at night, defeated Dai Yuanshen, the assassin of Beizhou, and collected more than 2,000 people, and also collected a lot of weapons.

On August 15, Liu Heimin set up an altar in Zhangnan, Beizhou, to pay tribute to Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, proclaimed himself a general, and officially raised troops against the Tang Dynasty.

On August 25, Liu Heimin captured Liting and killed Wang Xingmin, a general of the Tun Guard.

Hearing that Liu Heimin, the prince of Handong County, raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, Dou Jiande killed the old officials of the Tang Dynasty one after another and rebelled against Liu Heimin.

Xu Yuanlang, the governor of Yanzhou, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty again and raised troops in response to Liu Heimin.

When the news reached Chang'an, Li Yuan was furious: "Gu forgave him for his betrayal last time and reinstated him as an official, but I didn't expect him to be grateful and betray Gu again?"

"It seems that some people are born rebellious, and this time, Lone will definitely not forgive him again."

Li Shimin stood silently, he knew that the person his father scolded was Xu Yuanlang, who rebelled against Tang again.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Yu said that Dou Jiande's old troops rose up against the Tang Dynasty and were menacing.

Li Yuan also thought of Wang Yu at this moment, but he did not regret it as Wang Yu said.

After consulting with the ministers, Li Yuan issued an order: ordered Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, to join Li Yi, the governor of Youzhou, to conquer the traitor Liu Heimin, and the troops of the prefectures and counties along the road obeyed Li Shentong's orders.

Soon after, Li Jing presented a recital: the time was ripe to attack Xiao Miao.

Therefore, Li Yuan issued an edict to dispatch the Ba and Shu armies and assemble in Kuizhou.

And appointed Li Xiaogong as the head of the Jingxiang Road march, Li Jing and the chief of the march, in charge of the twelve commanders, from Kuizhou down the river to the east, for the West Route Army.

He also appointed Li Ying as the marshal of the Jingying Road March, out of Xiangzhou Road, as the Northern Route Army;

Qianzhou Thorn Shi Tian Shikang out of Chenzhou Road, for the South Route Army;

Zhou Faming, the governor of Huangzhou, went out of Xiakou Road and was the East Route Army.

The four-way army marched separately and slaughtered towards Jiangling, intending to eradicate Nanliang Xiao Milling in one fell swoop......
