Chongxi [rebirth]

It took Ye Yunting a lot of effort to coax the panic-stricken old princess back to the yard to rest.

When I came out of the old concubine's courtyard, I saw Li Fengqi waiting in the pavilion ahead, with his hands behind his back and the corners of his mouth stretched.The gloomy sky light cut his silhouette into a thick ink painting. Ye Yunting looked at it from a distance, only felt that he was surrounded by an extremely violent aura, as if he wanted to merge with the thick shadow ? One body, shocking.

The maids and servants in the yard all detoured from the other side, not daring to pass by the pavilion, for fear of disturbing them.

"What is your lord going to do next?" Ye Yunting walked quickly to his side, wrapping his clenched hand in his palm.

After investigating all the way, they only thought that the tragedies of the previous generation were caused by the late emperors, but they didn't expect that Emperor Chengzong was involved in it.

The words of the old concubine revealed that the death of the old King Yong'an was not due to the onset of an old disease. Perhaps it was the Emperor Chengzong who killed people to silence him in order to stabilize the country.

Just imagine a prince who holds military power, knows the secrets of the royal family, and has the posthumous son of the former prince in his hands. If he wants to, overthrowing the dynasty is just a matter of thought.Emperor Chengzong would certainly not tolerate such a serious problem.

Perhaps the old prince had no choice but to commit suicide in order to save the lives of the old concubine and Li Fengqi.

Even Li Fengqiping's succession to the title, probably because Emperor Chengzong was ashamed of his grandson and eldest son's husband and wife, made such an arrangement.

It's a pity that Emperor Chengzong did the calculations, but he didn't expect that the first emperor died of alcohol and lust after only five years in office.And the descendants of the first emperor repeated the scene of killing their brothers and seizing the throne.

I don't know if Chengzong knew it underground, would he regret his decision to ignore the truth and pave the way for the late emperor.

"Nowadays there are rumors everywhere? The uprising? The rebel army has already attacked? Shangjing, why not let the rumors be confirmed." Li Fengqi spoke slowly, with a hoarse voice.

There was unresolved cruelty in his eyes: "When I attack Shangjing, I will definitely drag Li Qian's corpse out of the imperial tomb and whip him!"

The first prince, the first concubine, the old King Yong'an, Mother Hao... He must pay back all these blood debts in person, so that the souls of the dead can rest in peace.

"Okay." Ye Yunting's voice was gentle, and he patted the back of his hand lightly: "You just need to deploy troops, and I will prepare food and supplies in the rear. With the current situation, it is not difficult to capture Shangjing."

Li Fengqi stared at him deeply for a long time, put his head in his arms, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Ye Yunting gently patted along his back, silently comforting him.

***

The cold winter that has not ended for a long time has caused more and more refugees to defect to the rebel army.

Since rumors spread that the first emperor's throne was not right, the present emperor's throne has also been questioned.It is widely spread that if you still have a conscience today, you should go to Zen or issue an edict to apologize to the world.

The insurgents in several neighboring states gathered together by virtue of this rumor, held high the banner of "do justice for the heavens and uphold orthodoxy", and approached Shangjing all the way.

In Qianzhong, Fanzhou, Jiali Prefecture and other places, refugees joined in one after another, with a total of 30 people.

Shen Yu, who was ordered to lead the army to intercept him, was defeated by the angry refugees after only a few confrontations, and could only retreat back to the hinterland of Jiali State to defend.

The uprising army reached the border of Jizhou almost unimpeded all the way. As long as they crossed Jizhou, they could go straight to Beijing.

However, today's Jizhou is not entrenched by the rebel party, but guarded by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the leader of the army is the prestigious King Yong'an.

The aggressive and indomitable uprising army stationed on the border between Jizhou and Jiali, and the two forces within the team fought or not.

This large insurgent army was formed by the collection of small-scale insurgents from all over the country. Their respective leaders were sealed off as the four kings of Dongshan, Xishan, Nanshan, and Beishan. ?The leader of the rebel army proclaimed himself King of Zhongshan.

King Zhongshan was a butcher before the uprising. He was burly and powerful, but he couldn't read big characters. The rebel army fought all the way, all relying on his brother Dongshan King for advice.Dongshan Wang is a white-faced scholar with an ordinary appearance, but a pair of narrow and long eyes are hidden.

The king of Xishan was originally a cook, but he looked like a Maitreya Buddha, but he was actually a smiling tiger; the king of Nanshan was a businessman, good at calculating; only the king of Beishan was taciturn. Participate less in the battle among several people?

Now in order to fight or not to fight Jizhou City, several people are divided into two factions.The king of Dongshan was ambitious and insisted on conquering Jizhou and going straight to Shangjing.

"We fought all the way, don't you want to back down? King Yong'an uses his troops like a god, but? We have 30 troops. As long as we find the right time to make a surprise attack, we may not be unable to win!"

King Xishan laughed: "Second brother wants to fight? Yes, then you send someone to be the vanguard."

King Nanshan also got up and coaxed: "That's right, you don't know how powerful King Yong'an is, don't try to coax us to take people to die."

"Short-sighted!" King Dongshan said displeased, "Jizhou City is no better than other prefectures. If you want to conquer it, you will have to sacrifice. Now a small sacrifice will be exchanged for the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future!"

"That's what it takes? Destiny will make it happen." Nanshan King muttered in a serious voice.

"You!" King Dongshan glared at him, but it's a pity that King Nanshan was not afraid of him.Compared with King Dongshan, who acts as a military adviser, the other three are all holding soldiers in their hands.Although they respect Zhongshan King as great, it doesn't mean they will bow down to Dongshan King.

From the very beginning, this team was only for survival, and now it has developed and grown, and there is already a preliminary division of power and struggles.

"Why don't we take down Jiali Prefecture and become the local emperor in Jiali Prefecture?" King Zhongshan, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment. He had a fierce face, but his words were full of fear: "Yong'an Wang Lianxi Huang can be destroyed, so killing us is not like killing pigs?"

He is a butcher. Although he has never read a book, he also knows that he should not touch an egg with a rock.

The faces of Xishan King and Nanshan King were not very good-looking, but after listening to their words, they showed thoughtful expressions.The King of Zhongshan's words are rough and reasonable. They? They have a lot of people at the moment, but no one is sure that they can win Jizhou.Don't steal chickens at that time, you won't lose money, and you won't lose any benefits?

Only King Dongshan looked gloomy. He glanced at King Zhongshan who was sitting above him, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, why did you destroy yourself before the fight? I think you may not be as powerful as you are on the battlefield." Yong'an Wang Cha!"

Although King Zhongshan has no brains, his strength is really amazing.The two custom-made butcher's knives were heavy and heavy, but when they waved them in their hands, the enemy was half as close as the pig to be slaughtered, and it became two halves with one knife.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense!" King Zhongshan almost jumped up when he heard the words, and waved his hands again and again: "How can I compare with King Yong'an? No comparison, no comparison."

After speaking, he remembered what? He stood up and said, "I'll go and see the piglets in the pig shed. You can discuss it."

Then got up and quickly slipped away.

Dongshan King looked at their backs, licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and cursed a stupid pig in his heart.

He? Turned his gaze to Beishan Wang, who was always silent: "Fifth Brother, what do you think?"

Beishan King looked up at him, with a dull expression: "I will listen to you. You can discuss it."

Dongshan King: "..."

Damn, a bunch of trash.

In the end, there was no discussion on this matter, and King Zhongshan was only thinking about it? Piggy, King Beishan couldn't even beat a fart with a stick.Xi Shan Wang and Nan Shan Wang are ambitious, but these two are very shrewd, they just want to follow behind and take advantage of it. It is absolutely impossible for them to be the vanguard.

King Dongshan's eyes were full of gloom, so he could only announce the adjournment of the meeting, and the matter will be discussed tomorrow.

Several people went back to their tents.

No one noticed that King Beishan did not return to the camp, but carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and went to the forest outside?

He still had the honest and dull expression on his face, but he put his fingers to his lips and learned a few night owl howls. Not long after, the sound of Xisuo was heard in the forest, and a gray wolf came from the depths of the forest. He got out from somewhere and asked him to hang the bamboo tube around his neck, and then quickly got into the depths of the forest.

***

The gray wolf is Ah Xuan, and Beishan Wang is a secret guard who was ordered to infiltrate the rebel army.

As early as when the number of rebels increased, Li Fengqi ordered the hidden guards to sneak in in order to prevent the rebels from getting out of control, so as to control the news at any time.Originally, the dark guards only led a small-scale team, but when they arrived in California, they bumped into several other allied rebels. In order to break into the interior, they simply joined them.Mixed up with the North Mountain King.

When Li Fengqi received the news, he was patrolling the barracks.

After getting their permission, Jiaozuo had "inadvertently" leaked the real life experience of King Yong'an, and now the news has spread in the north. ? Soldiers overthrow the faint king and regain the throne.

There are even many capable people and strangers who take the initiative to contribute, wanting to help.

In short, no matter what the real purpose of these people is, their purpose of creating momentum has been achieved.

These days, several generals are gearing up and preparing for battle with all their strength, just waiting for a big fight.It's just that Li Fengqi pressed them? They didn't move, saying that they would first subdue the 30 rebels in California.

The practice now is to prepare for dealing with the rebel army.

When the wolf king came back with the secret letter from the secret guard, several generals watched him and surrounded him one after another.

Li Fengqi waved his hand, and the wolf king left by himself.They took a few generals to discuss matters.

"Now the rebel army is not united." After reading the secret letter, Li Fengqi tossed it around to several people: "The 30 rebel army is really going to fight. Casualties are inevitable. Why don't we disintegrate them from the inside first? .”

These insurgents were also the people of Beizhao. If it was not necessary, Li Fengqi was not willing to swing his sword at them.

"This Dongshan King's ambition is not small." Zhu Lie said: "The brotherhood with Zhongshan King doesn't seem very deep, but we can start with these two people."

Li Fengqi tapped on the table with his fingers, and said: "Before they react, Zhu Lie, you take a hundred thousand soldiers to the border, don't really fight, just make a show to scare them."

It cannot be said that these insurgents are completely powerless if they can reach the state of California and gather 30 troops.But their shortcomings are also obvious.

Several leaders each have their own ideas, and King Zhongshan obviously can't let them follow them wholeheartedly. Once they are overwhelmed by the army and face a life-and-death crisis, the current small dispute may develop into an internal strife.

At that time, they don't need to do anything, and the rebel army will fall apart.
