Now that he had just recovered from his serious illness, Lu Zhong was naturally unwilling to hear that the Lu family wanted him to write documents for King Pengcheng's accession to the throne.
"You bastard, are you going to make my father angry to death? My father is all for your own good! When my father is gone, you will not be in charge of the entire Lu family?" The head of the Lu family stabbed Lu Zhongde with hatred.
head,
"My father is paving the way for you - there is no use reading those sages' books all day long. Hurry up and write the documents for your enthronement. When His Majesty is happy, he may make you the prime minister. Do you understand?"
When King Pengcheng unified the Central Plains, they, the Lu family, would be great heroes with the merit of following the dragon. Their descendants would be able to become dragons and phoenixes among men for generations to come, and they would be recorded in the history books.
For this reputation, he has to fight for it no matter what.
Lu Zhong looked at the head of the Lu family who was almost crazy for fame and fortune, and couldn't help but sneer at him.
My father probably didn’t know how big a bet he made on the same day.
If the bet wins, he will be the founding minister who has made great contributions to the dragon and will be remembered in history;
If he loses the bet, he will be a rebellious traitor who will be infamy for thousands of years. Not only him, but all the descendants of the Lu family will be despised.
And I heard from the servants that the governor of the Huo family has joined forces with Sanlang of the Cui family and the Luo family of Longxi to send troops to prepare for the Northern Expedition to put down the Eight Kings Rebellion.
The Luo family in Longxi listened to Mr. Xie Xiao's actions, and now they want to go on an expedition to the north, so Mr. Xie...
"A few days ago, my father ordered people to go to Longgang Academy. A fire broke out there and burned for three days and three nights. Not a single blade of grass grew in the mountains." Seeing through Lu Zhongde's thoughts, the head of the Lu family laughed.
"You will stay at home obediently from now on and serve His Majesty together with your father. Your career will be bright and clear."
Leaking water?
The area in Youzhou was surrounded by streams, so it was impossible for a sky fire to appear. It could only be that his father sent someone to set it off.
So little sir...
Thinking of something, Lu Zhongben's pale face turned a little whiter.
After a moment, he lowered his head with a face ashen as death.
"Father, King Pengcheng is very ambitious. If you fail to follow him, you will definitely not end well. Are you serious about making him emperor?" He asked softly.
"nature."
"My son is getting dressed and writing some documents. Please wait a moment, father." Lu Zhong bowed, turned around and went into the house and closed the door.
As if he had lost all his strength, the young man leaned heavily on the door, with big tears rolling down his red eyes.
Who will tell him what he should do now?
"Little sir...you have a spirit in heaven, tell Shaohan how to deal with the enemy who killed his mother..."
The young man's murmur was swallowed up by the evening breeze and could not reach the ears of people far away.
Late at night, the two fast horses left Youzhou overnight and delivered a secret letter to Qi Yan and Luo Chen one day later.
Qi Yan read the letter in his hand and slowly squeezed it tightly.
The person who delivered the message was a spy under Cui Heng. It was Cui Heng who defeated several of the Cui family's children before he was able to infiltrate him into King Pengcheng.
King Pengcheng is about to hold a coronation ceremony, and all kings will go there to celebrate. At that time, troops from various states will be dispatched to Youzhou to protect him.
Realizing that this was the best time to feign an attack, Qi Yan immediately said: "The whole army is ready to attack Yongzhou on the day King Pengcheng ascends the throne!"
"Here!"
The same order was also issued to Luo Chen's camp, but he was attacking Yuzhou.
…
On August 13, the first year of Yongkang, King Pengcheng ascended the throne as emperor in Youzhou.
The rebellious princes brought their people to support them one after another. Qi Yan and Luo Chen took advantage of this and sent troops to attack Yuzhou and Yongzhou.
The mighty formation of the army frightened the Su Guards stationed there, especially when they saw the flag bearing the Huo family's banner, they immediately lit up the smoke to remind the kings who were about to leave.
The governor of the Huo family is coming to attack Yuzhou and Yongzhou. Come back quickly to defend the city!
The princes who occupied the two states realized that someone was going to attack their lair, so they hurriedly left with them, and even invited other princes to come to their aid.
In this way, 200,000 troops turned back together.
Unexpectedly, by the time they arrived, Qi Yan and Luo Chen had already led their troops to retreat after receiving the news.
King Yong and King Yu were speechless for a while, and now they missed King Pengcheng's coronation ceremony, so they simply went back to the city to sing and sing every night, so happy.
This is not over yet.
A few days later, Qi Yan and Luo Chen attacked the two states with great fanfare.
This time it was a serious attack, and it was a sneak attack in the middle of the night. The guards in the two states were negligent and were drunk. They were in the mood. By the time they realized it, it was already too late.
The arrows that filled the sky pierced the heads of the soldiers who were guarding the city, and their plasma exploded, scattering down the city wall like fireworks.
The Su guards were beaten back and forth, and in the end they could no longer defend the city and fled to fetch reinforcements.
Qi Yan and Luo Chen swaggered through the city gates, broke into the state, liberated the local people and slaves who were unwilling to surrender to King Yong and King Yu, and escorted them to the south of the Yangtze River.
This is the second purpose of their feint.
Xie Yuan said that it is inevitable for the political power to move south. In the future, the imperial power of the Jin Dynasty will probably be concentrated in Jiankang, and the north is not suitable for the people of the Central Plains to live, so they will all move south to open up wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River.
These people can go there first to open up wasteland, and in the future they will become refugees and starve to death during the war in the north.
After escorting the people and slaves away, Qi Yan reunited with Luo Chen and found a secluded wilderness to station themselves there, waiting for news from Xie Yuan and the others.
The guards from the two states who came back with reinforcements saw that nothing was missing, only some disobedient people and slaves were missing. King Yong and King Yu who fled in a hurry were puzzled.
Who cares, just don't attack the city.
Then he continued to play and sing every night and took Wu Shi Powder.
At the same time, Xie Yuan and the others had arrived at the border of Liangzhou.
Time came to August 23rd. The army that had just arrived at the border of Liangzhou hid in the barren mountains and sent out scouts to find out the movements of King Langya.
Yes, it was King Langya who was stationed in Liangzhou and proclaimed himself emperor.
King Langya felt extremely itchy when he saw King Pengcheng proclaimed himself emperor.
When you have the capital to become an emperor, who doesn’t want to experience what it’s like to be an emperor?
Then he also proclaimed himself emperor and established the country as Han.
On the other side, letters from Qi Yan and Luo Chen were also delivered to Governor Huo. After learning that they had successfully liberated the slaves, Governor Huo nodded.
Now we just have to wait for the spies to report back and find out clearly about the troop deployment in Liangzhou before we can launch an attack.
The spies came back quickly and drew a troop deployment plan.
Liangzhou has a total of 70,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and 30,000 archers, totaling 200,000.
The cavalry was stationed in the western border of Liangzhou, the infantry was stationed in the city, and the archers were divided into half to guard the north and south. As for the west, because it was next to Bingzhou, not too many soldiers were sent to guard it.
"King Langya claimed to be the emperor, so he took it lightly. He sang and danced every night and didn't care about the government." Thinking of something, the spy added. This chapter has been completed!
