In mid-June of the 25th year of Taiping, the Lu soldiers were leaderless and lost their position and retreated.

Ma Biao with the help of Hong Erlang's connections and gold and silver treasures to form a fake army full of people in the rivers and lakes, every time to the battlefield, this army can rely on high martial arts to reach ten, which makes the last line of defense in the heart of the Lu soldiers, who had lost the main general, began to collapse, and even the world is rumored that Ma Biao is a famous general, designed to kill Zhao Xiong, the general of Luzhou Prefecture in a short period of time, and formed a group of elite troops, which caught the Lu soldiers off guard.

On the other hand, Lin Chengze attacked the Masang City that Li Baotong held for a long time, and Li Baotong ordered rumors to claim that Lin Youzu was protecting the calf, and he didn't need a veteran to use his son to attack this place that was originally nine out of ten, the purpose was to let his son make contributions. It's a pity that his son is a straw bag, and he can't make a big move, and he can't take a step forward with Huijun, and those old subordinates who pity Lin Youzu will eventually become his scapegoats.

Originally, Lin Chengze chose not to attack the city as soon as possible after receiving Xiao Tiantu's secret order, but he didn't expect Li Baotong to strike first and split the forces in the Huizhou army with gossip. For a time, Lin Chengze's deputy generals were all uneven, often quarreled with each other, disagreed, and Chen Bingbu also made it much more difficult for Lin Chengze, and he was hindered everywhere. Originally, these uncles were more prestigious than him in the army, and their qualifications were too old, even when they arrived in Taiping City, they were all worthy of the name.

Just these people, they all have pro-army. Lin Youzu originally treated his brothers very well, and therefore, after the establishment of the new dynasty, most of his former subordinates stayed behind to build Huizhou with him, instead of receiving official positions and tasks, and these requests were also specially approved by Xiao Shifeng Aicai back then.

In Lin Youzu's eyes, the Huizhou Army is not only a hundred army but also a Lin family army, and these old subordinates are loyal to themselves and the Lin family, which is a blessing that many generals have not had throughout the ages.

But Lin Youzu ignored one point, that is, Lin Chengze is also talented, talented, and iron-fisted, which makes this group of veterans who come to fight with him often feel useless and have no face, plus Lin Chengze has not attacked the city for many days and lost the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation, which directly ignited the dissatisfaction in the hearts of these old generals.

If Lin Youzu is here, he can convince the public, but this son-in-law, everyone is prejudiced, so when Li Baotong releases these rumors, it will inevitably have more or less impact. Betrayal is impossible, but there will always be a stumbling block, all of which makes the young and casual Lin Chengze embarrassed.

Lin Chengze also knew that his father valued righteousness, and treated these old brothers like relatives, when he was a child, Lin Chengze had a fight with the children of a deputy general's family, and after returning to the general's mansion, Lin Youzu knew about it, and directly asked his subordinates to tie up Lin Chengze and take him to the sun for an hour. Lin Youzu told Lin Chengze that these old generals all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and there are many people who can be big officials but have not, and our Lin family can't be sorry for them.

Therefore, Lin Chengze's indifference to these old generals is not at all remedy.

Seeing that the situation in Suqing and Qingzhou had reversed, the imperial army's army failed to break through one city and one town, and Liang Zuo, who was far away in the northwest, also rose up and ordered his subordinate Fan Yingying to attack the border city of Xizhou, officially announcing the rebellion in Xinzhou.

The banners of these people are all the banners of restoring orthodoxy. Of course, Qian Shaoyou has also done a lot of work in this regard. The old man once told him that the saddest thing in the world is the human heart, and the simplest thing is also the human heart. Only by buying people's hearts can you win the whole world.

Therefore, in the western border towns that have now been closed, most of what the common people hear is that the current emperor is not from an orthodox background, and if one day God knows that he has stolen the throne, it will surely send natural disasters, incite human disasters, and make the common people unable to live in peace. Therefore, the world needs an orthodoxy, and Qian Shaoyou is the descendant of the previous dynasty that ruled the world for 800 years.

Qianshaoyou also promised that after the restoration of the country, he would make great efforts to make the country prosperous, change the inaction of his ancestors, practice the benevolent government of the world, and maintain the existing prosperity, which can create a new scenic spot.

There are really a lot of people who believe in this remark.

There are probably three reasons for this.

First, this dynasty emphasizes military force over literature, although after the establishment of the dynasty, the wind and rain have been smooth for 20 years, and the country and the people are safe, but when this peaceful and prosperous era, the warriors have no merit to build, and the literati have a rare status, and this group of aspiring people who can't ask for it is precisely the elite of this dynasty. These elites, placed in the previous dynasty, are the mainstay, but at the moment, it will not work. The establishment of a new dynasty has brought too many heroes, these people do not abdicate, and these people who are ready to move have no chance, so they can only choose a good time, and this world is in turmoil, which is a good time. Before this, these people were also ordinary people, or petty officials, and they could naturally blend in with the people and fan the flames.

Second, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the system of government generals had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage lies in the fact that the generals of each state government are directly appointed by the imperial court, and the merit assessment at the end of the year, the verification of taxes, and the listening to public opinion have a direct impact on the rewards and punishments of the local government generals. In addition, the imperial court gave absolute power to the generals of various state capitals, so that their ideas could be guaranteed to the greatest extent and implemented in the simplest way.

The disadvantage is that it breeds self-forces in various places. The generals of various prefectures have been entrenched for many years, and they have more or less their own cronies, and those border towns are even more pro-army Obviously, after all, they have to fight from time to time, and if they do not have personal soldiers in the war, the chances of victory are not high. Therefore, Qian Shaoyou instigated the generals of the western border towns and prefectures, as long as they agreed, it would be half of the country.

Third, the regime of the previous dynasty collapsed, Xiao Shifeng ascended the throne, and it was originally a courtier who replaced the emperor and replaced him.

There are three main reasons for this.

Of course, there is an additional fourth reason, which, while not the main one, plays a driving role.

Behind this promoter is the current emperor Xiao Shifeng, and the person who executes it is Xiao Tiantu. Xiao Tiantu let the generals of the state capitals in various places rekindle the vitality of the world in a short period of time, and secondly, in recent years, Xiao Tiantu has also seen the continuous expansion of the power of the generals of the state capitals in various places, which is a threat to the imperial power in the future.

And tampering with the general of the state capital will arouse suspicion in the world. Xiao Shifeng and Xiao Tiantu can still shock these meritorious veterans, who can shock them after a hundred years?

However, these state generals must also move.

Therefore, it is better to let them kill themselves, Xiao Tiantu has long known about the existence of Qian Shaoyou, and Qian Shaoyou is the torch that ignites this fire.

In this world of chaos, you can also use this to see through the division of martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes, these two points are Xiao Tiantu's lifelong thoughts.
