When Liu Chang was tricked, he dared to rebel with 70 people.
That incident was highly suspicious, and many people said it was a trap set up by Emperor Wen.
As for the truth, even Yuan Ang is dead, so there is no way to know.
However, one thing that is certain is that Emperor Wen had arranged a manpower around Liu Chang early that year.
When they arrived at Emperor Jing's place, out of caution against Liu Chang's group, they also arranged for manpower.
When Liu Ling arranged for the uprising, the news was quickly sent to Zhang Tang through internal communications.
"Hahahaha~~~"
After hearing the news, Zhang Tang, instead of being frightened, laughed loudly.
Gongsun Ao beside him also nodded with satisfaction, "It finally moved."
They were ordered to come and thoroughly investigate the matter concerning Huainan King Liu An. Both of them were the emperor's confidants. Naturally they knew that the emperor intended to reduce the vassal, so they wanted to overthrow Liu An to achieve great success.
It's just that Liu An was sent to war by Wang Ni's false order, and if he wanted to overthrow Liu An, it would be difficult to silence the world.
Because Liu An could complain and say that he was acting under the emperor's order. After all, he was regarded as a false emperor only after Li Yunze entered Chang'an City.
Moreover, Liu An is the son of Liu Chang and the King of Huainan.
After Liu Chang's incident came out, many people in the world complained about him, and his influence in the court became even more passive.
Zhang Tang and Gongsun Ao knew this very well, so from the beginning they were trying to force Liu An to take the initiative to rebel.
As long as Liu An takes the initiative to rebel, the evidence is conclusive and there is no need to say any more nonsense.
"Zhonglang Zuo." Zhang Tang told Gongsun Ao, "Hurry up and make preparations. When they attack here, all the troops will come out to control Shouchun City!"
Gongsun Ao saluted excitedly, "Here!"
Although Cheng Bushi's head had already enabled him to become a marquis.
But Marquis is also related to the distinction between Neihou and Chehou, as well as the differences between County Marquis, Township Marquis and Tinghou.
Even if you reach the top level, you can still add food to your family, and you can also grant titles to your nephews based on your merits.
There is never too much credit.
Both sides acted quickly, it just depends on who is more capable tonight.
Liu An had a lot of followers, and there were thousands of people who ate and drank here, and they were called Xiao Meng Taste.
However, although there are many people, there are only few talents who are truly useful.
The most famous among them are those known as the Eight Dukes of Huainan.
The princess Liu Ling summoned several people and discussed how to start an incident in a remote place.
Compared with the indecisive Liu An, the young Liu Ling is very determined. "The imperial army has arrived in Shouchun, and we have no way to retreat at this time. We can either sit back and wait for death, or be captured and die. Or we can rise up and fight."
, raise the banner to tell the world."
The Eight Dukes of Huainan can stand out among thousands of disciples, so he is naturally very capable.
After all, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was basically no market for such things as cheating. If you didn't have the ability, you didn't have the ability. No one would want to see you wherever you went.
Lei Ban, who is known as the best swordsman in the south of the Yangtze River, was the first to express his opinion: "What the Lord said is absolutely true. The imperial army has arrived. What else is there to say at this time? Only by fighting to the death can we gain a chance of survival."
Zuo Wu, who is known for his outstanding resourcefulness, also nodded repeatedly, "A last-ditch fight will break the boat."
Tian You, Li Shang and others all agreed.
They are all smart people, and they know very clearly that as they are Liu An's disciples, once the court deals with King Huainan, they will definitely be implicated, and there will be no possibility of escape.
Either way, death is inevitable. At this time, of course, we have to fight for a chance of survival.
Jinchang, one of the Eight Dukes, said hesitantly, "We can take action, but if we have no troops to mobilize and can only encourage retainers, how can we be a match for the imperial army?"
It wasn't that he objected, he just told the truth.
The imperial court sent thousands of elite troops to Shouchun. If they relied solely on the strength of their retainers, they would not be able to match the imperial army.
The individual combat effectiveness of the disciples is not bad, but once they encounter an arrayed army, they are vulnerable to a single attack.
This point was already vividly demonstrated when Jun Lao'ai of Wheels rebelled.
If you want to rebel, you must first defeat the thousands of imperial troops who came to Shouchun.
If you want to defeat these thousands of imperial troops, you must first mobilize the troops from the Huainan Kingdom in and outside Shouchun.
However, if you want to mobilize the county soldiers, you must have the King's Tiger Talisman King Seal.
You must know that during the Seven Kings Rebellion, the Prime Minister also relied on house arrest to imprison the king, and then gained the power to control the troops.
If you want to take action now... everyone's eyes will turn to Liu Ling.
Liu Ling, who was arrogant and arrogant and thought he was not inferior to men, immediately agreed, "Leave this matter to me, and I will get the Tiger Talisman King's Seal."
"Then there is Lord Lao Weng."
Everyone discussed the specific steps again, and then dispersed to do their own things.
Liu Ling took a deep breath and walked towards the palace.
Arriving at Liu An's palace, Liu Ling asked the chamberlain, "Where is the king?"
"Go back to the master, the king is in the alchemy room."
Liu An, a scholar by nature, is still a believer.
As we all know, Daoist kings usually like to make elixirs, and the purpose of making elixirs is naturally to seek immortality.
Modern people all know that seeking immortality is an illusory and ridiculous thing, but in the Qin and Han Dynasties, this was the mainstream pursuit at that time.
In history, the Han Dynasty also spent ten thousand years seeking immortality and refining elixirs, which led to the disaster of witchcraft.
Of course, the cause of the witchcraft disaster was not simple. There were also many factors involved, such as Liu Zhi, who had been the prince for many years and couldn't bear it anymore, and a group of people with a purpose behind it.
However, Han Wu's pursuit of immortality alchemy must be one of the important reasons.
Talk back.
When he learned that Liu An had gone to refine the elixir of immortality again, young Liu Ling was relieved but also dissatisfied.
"If the time I have for alchemy is used to strengthen the Huainan Kingdom, I won't be blocked at the door."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "All of you, please stand down."
Although Liu An had sons and grandsons, he doted on his daughter Liu Ling very much, so she had a strong intimidating power in the palace.
Following Liu Ling's order, all the people serving in the king's palace exited the palace one after another.
Liu Ling arrived at the palace with ease and found the tiger talisman and the king's seal.
Looking at the Tiger Talisman King Seal in his hand, Liu Ling's eyes shone and he kept playing with it.
Although she is a woman, she has a desire for power that is not inferior to that of a man.
At this moment, holding the Tiger Talisman and the King's Seal in hand, an emotion called 'ambition' arose involuntarily in the whole person's heart.
She took several deep breaths and then gradually calmed down.
"All brothers and nephews are useless, I am the only one who can truly lead the Huainan Kingdom to glory!"
Liu Ling, with ambition flashing in his eyes, strode out of the palace.
After getting the King's Seal Tiger Talisman, all the staff took action quickly.
They first organized people to rush into the homes of the lieutenant and other generals and killed them.
This is to first eliminate those generals who are loyal to the imperial court.
Then they entered the military camp with the Tiger Talisman King Seal, gathered the military officers above the camp commander, and announced in public that the current emperor was a false emperor. They wanted to protect the imprisoned former emperor Liu She and hold high the banner of righteousness to save the country of the Han Dynasty.
These words really scared too many people. Isn’t this rebellion?
Someone among the generals immediately came forward to object, but Liu Ling narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who else wants to object?"
Many generals and lieutenants stood up to express their opposition and asked Liu Ling, "Where is the king?"
After all, there is only the Tiger Talisman King Seal, but the king did not appear, making people suspicious.
Liu Ling had no intention of responding at all, and simply ordered, "Come in!"
Lei Qian, who was carrying a sword, rushed in with a group of disciples who were highly skilled in martial arts.
Liu Ling pointed at the generals and lieutenants who opposed the rebellion, "Kill them all!"
Lei was not hesitant at all here, he just waved his sword and charged forward.
Military generals and lieutenants were not vegetarians. The professional soldiers in the early Han Dynasty were very high-quality and completely different from those who had a mixed salary.
Both sides drew their weapons and started fighting, and chaos immediately ensued.
But after all, he came prepared, and Lei Fu was excellent in swordsmanship. Those generals and captains who had no soldiers around him were quickly killed.
The proud Liu Ling first gave Lei Ban a seductive look, and then looked at the remaining generals and lieutenants who had not expressed their opinions, "How do you decide?"
These people have no choice but to show their support.
"Lei Bei, Zuo Wu, Tian You..." Liu Ling ordered, "Select talents from among your father's disciples to take over their positions."
"Here."
"Beat the drums and gather the troops!"
Several pieces of news were delivered to Zhang Tang and Gongsun Ao one after another.
There were men previously buried in the Huainan Kingdom, sentries sent here before they arrived, and even messages secretly sent by the lieutenants and generals of the Huainan Army.
After all, there are really not many fools who become captains.
It's not impossible to conspire or something like that, but the prerequisite is that you can have a chance to win.
No matter how you look at Huainan's rebellion, there is no possibility of victory.
Even if you don't take into account the elite army of the imperial court, the Great Wall Army and so on, they may not be able to defeat the soldiers and horses in and around Shouchun City alone.
After all, the Huainan Kingdom is located in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. It has not fought any wars for many years. Even during the Seven Kings Rebellion, it was only to defend the city.
Moreover, when the troops of King Wu and King Chu were in a hurry to go to Chang'an City and passed through Huainan Kingdom, they did not fight much.
Under such circumstances, do you expect the Huainan Kingdom to fight against the entire Han Dynasty?
Another very important point is that Liu An himself did not come forward, not even his son or grandson. It was only Liu Ling who was in control of the situation.
Even if someone is truly loyal to Liu An, they will have doubts at this time.
After receiving the news, Zhang Tang and Gongsun Ao looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Zhang Tang thought that this time he could become a marquis based on his meritorious service.
Gongsun Ao, on the other hand, thought that he could increase his food supply this time.
What does it mean to be given a pillow when you are dozing off? This is it.
