Liu Shouguang was overjoyed: "Uncle has a good plan, let's do it like this!"
"You go to the barracks with me now!" The general made a decisive decision, ordered two soldiers to monitor the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and brought Liu Shouguang back to the barracks.
His name is Huang Xingqin, and he is Liu Shouguang's uncle. He had just attained the status of a military general at the border some time ago, and he returned to Youzhou to report on his duties in the past few days.
The so-called tooth soldiers are the guards of the Jiedu Envoy. They are stationed near the Jiedu Envoy's mansion.
The reason why Huang Xingqin helped Liu Shouguang was also because of their close relationship. He was worried that Liu Shouguang would implicate him and be alienated by Liu Rengong.
If he did nothing but support Liu Shouguang to take the position, he would still be able to make further progress with his great achievements. When Liu Shouguang succeeded to the throne, even if he took charge of all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, it would not be impossible.
The world is in chaos, which is the perfect opportunity for the ambitious to take advantage of the situation.
Huang Xingqin took Liu Shouguang back to the barracks, and immediately called a meeting with the main generals in secret.
Of course he didn't say that Liu Shouguang committed adultery with his concubine and was caught by Liu Rengong on the spot. He only said that Liu Rengong was too old to make progress, so that the generals had no chance to make contributions and could only live in a corner of Youzhou. By the way, he also made up some bad things about Liu Rengong, saying that he has lost the hearts of the people in Youzhou.
Then, Huang Xingqin said that Liu Shouguang was a wise man, well-respected by the people, and with lofty aspirations. He should inherit his father's career and lead the Youzhou army to fight in all directions.
Half of the generals present at the meeting were Huang Xingqin's cronies, so naturally he was the only one to follow the lead; some were on the fence, hesitating and not expressing their views, just following the crowd; the rest were loyal to Liu Rengong and did not believe Huang Xingqin's words, and some even angrily reprimanded Huang Xingqin on the spot , Said he conspired against the law.
Huang Xingqin acted resolutely, and immediately ordered the soldiers to rush into the tent, and confronted those who opposed him. Although there are many brave generals among these generals, before they entered the main camp of the Chinese army, they took off their sabers, and now they are empty-handed.
After ordering the corpse to be taken out, Huang Xingqin looked around the generals coldly, focusing on those who sat on the wall, "Who else is against the succession of the son?"
Amid the tangy smell of blood, how could the generals dare to object, they all clasped their fists and said: "I will support the son's succession!"
Huang Xingqin then ordered the elite soldiers to be assembled, and after briefly explaining the operation tonight on the school grounds, he left two of his confidants to sit in the barracks, and he led Liu Shouguang and all the soldiers to the Jiedu envoy's mansion.
After Liu Rengong killed the woman, his anger persisted for a long time, and he was sitting in the study sulking. I don't know how long it took, when there was silence all around, he suddenly heard a huge noise outside, as if there were hundreds of people fighting, he was furious: "What's the noise? Come!"
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
A moment later, a soldier covered in blood ran into the small courtyard and reported to Liu Rengong in panic: "Commander, something is wrong! Huang Xingqin gathered a crowd to rebel and is attacking the mansion. He has already entered the Chuhuamen!"
Liu Rengong turned pale with shock: "Huang Xingqin? How dare he?!"
He hastily dispatched manpower from the mansion to fight, and sent out all the monks who had advanced qi training. He thought about it for a long time, and then sent someone to the military camp outside the city to send an order to help them, and finally he also rushed to the front yard.
When he saw the rebellious army, he couldn't help but turn pale. The soldiers in his mansion had been beheaded by the opponent, and the corpses fell to the ground in disorder. Some of the monks who practiced high-level Qi were killed, and some even stood behind Huang Xingqin!
At this time, soldiers and monks pouring into the mansion from all directions had already faintly surrounded him.
Seeing Huang Xingqin and Liu Shouguang, Liu Rengong couldn't understand what was going on, he pointed at each other and scolded: "You rebellious son! You committed adultery with your concubine first, and then mobilized the crowd to rebel, it's really frenzied! Today I must clean up the house! "
As he said that, Liu Rengong rushed towards Liu Shouguang, intending to capture and kill him. He has the cultivation level of a real person, and has the possibility of taking the enemy's general from the chaos.
However, how could Liu Shouguang be willing to sit and wait for death, his cultivation level was only slightly worse than Liu Rengong's, and now that Huang Xingqin was by his side, he decided to fight Liu Rengong head-on.
The scene of father and son killing each other didn't last long. Liu Rengong was seriously injured in the siege and was soon captured by Huang Xingqin.
Huang Xingqin breathed a sigh of relief, after all it was unreasonable to gather a crowd to rebel, he relied on bloody support, and he was also afraid that when the army from outside the city arrived, he hadn't captured Liu Rengong yet, giving the opponent a chance to turn the tables. Fortunately, Liu Rengong didn't insist on breaking through, but fought head-on. That's why he took down the opponent so easily.
Liu Rengong was already in a state of confusion, his son had committed adultery with his concubine, and his most trusted general had gathered a crowd to mutiny, his heart seemed to be bleeding, now even though he was seriously injured and captured, with disheveled hair, he kept cursing each other.
Liu Shouguang was not ashamed at all, and he didn't want to hear Liu Rengong continue to scold. After all, so many people watched, the scene was too ugly, so he immediately ordered Liu Rengong to be taken away.
He wasn't completely inhuman, at least he didn't kill the other party, he just ordered the other party to be imprisoned.
Huang Xingqin felt that Liu Rengong should be killed to avoid future troubles, but Liu Shouguang disagreed: "There are many generals in the army who are my father's confidantes. If I kill my father rashly, I'm afraid it will make them feel dissatisfied. Father, you can still restrain them."
When Huang Xingqin thought about it, he felt that this was reasonable, so he didn't insist on it.
So Liu Shouguang issued a notice overnight, saying that Liu Rengong was seriously ill, and he passed on the position of Jiedushi to him, and ordered all the troops to sit in the barracks in the capacity of Jiedushi, and they were not allowed to move out without orders, otherwise they would be punished as mutiny.
After making a fuss all night and dealing with various matters, Liu Shouguang didn't feel tired at all. Now that he has become the master of Youzhou, all the restraints and cautiousness from before no longer exist, no one can yell at him anymore, he can sleep with any woman he wants.
Thinking of this, Liu Shouguang still felt a little regretful. After all, Liu Rengong's concubine who had committed adultery with him had already been killed by Liu Rengong, and he still missed the smell of her body.
But the matter has come to this point, Liu Shouguang is not too sad, after all, there are always women.
Huang Xingqin was now entrusted by Liu Shouguang with all the military affairs. After he went around the battalions, he returned to the Jiedushi's mansion and immediately came to Liu Shouguang to discuss major plans.
"Just received the news that King An has subdued Chengde, I'm afraid he has the intention of going north to Youzhou." Huang Xingqin looked serious, "Now we have to deal with it."
Liu Shouguang's complexion changed, and a look of fear flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.
It was almost effortless for Li Ye to pacify Huangchao and capture Hedong. When it is usually mentioned, some people may not take it seriously, thinking that if they are Li Ye, they can do the same as him.
But when they heard that Li Ye was aiming at them, panic would grow uncontrollably, and only then would they seriously examine how far the opponent was from themselves.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but once you look at it, you will find that the opponent is a giant, and you are just an ant, and you have no qualifications to confront the opponent head-on.
Liu Shouguang said tremblingly: "I heard that King An is considered benevolent, and the Jiedu envoys of various feudal towns, as long as they obey his orders, he will not have any troubles. Why don't we learn from Henghai, Zhaoyi and other towns and take the initiative to ask for help? How about King An's loyalty?"
Huang Xingqin obviously did not agree with this, he said coldly: "You have just become a Jiedu envoy, do you want to hand over the power to others, and would like King An to ride on your head and dictate to you?"
Liu Shouguang thought about it, and this was indeed not acceptable. Now that he is the master of Youzhou, what he wants is to do whatever he wants. Now he is really not willing to obey Li Ye's orders and accept Li Ye's dictates to Youzhou.
However, Liu Shouguang still didn't dare to be an enemy of Li Ye, he tentatively said: "But King An is powerful, if he sends troops to attack, how should we respond?"
Huang Xingqin seemed confident, he had clearly thought about this problem long ago: "We can ask Khitan for help!"
Liu Shouguang was stunned: "Ask Khitan for help? We have been fighting with Khitan for years, will they help us?"
Huang Xingqin snorted coldly: "One moment and another moment. The Khitan has swept across the grasslands these years, and it has become a trend. I heard people say that the Khitan has the ambition to go south to the Yellow River. This is exactly what we can use. Forming an alliance with the Khitan can restrain An Wang Zhongxing Datang, this is what the Khitans wish for! We will not attack them until King An is defeated!"
Liu Shouguang's eyes lit up: "Then do this!"
But then he became worried again: "However, if Khitan sends too many troops to the south, I'm afraid they will have the ability to turn against the enemy, but if they send too few reinforcements, they may not be able to stop King An, what should we do?"
Huang Xingqin said: "You don't need to let them send a large army, just send monks to protect you. As for the large army, our Lu Long army is very elite, and we can't lose to the Pinglu army. It is not difficult to stop them. And don't forget, the Central Plains Zhu Wen, but he is still lighting a fire in King An's backyard!"
Liu Shouguang clapped his hands and praised: "Uncle is indeed a great talent, so this matter is settled."
．．．．．．
After Li Ye arrived in Dingzhou, he was warmly received by the Jiedu envoy of the Yiwu Army.
At the banquet, in front of officials and generals at all levels in Dingzhou, the Jiedu envoy of the Yiwu Army expressed that he would never hesitate to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the Yiwu Army was dispatched by Li Ye. Not only him, but all the officers and generals present expressed their support for the decision of Yiwu Jiedushi.
This clearly means that they have made a plan long ago, so they can work together from top to bottom. Li Ye was very satisfied that the other party was so sensible, so he couldn't help saying some words of encouragement.
Although it was unexpected that the Yiwu Army took the initiative to serve, it was also reasonable.
Before Li Ye conquered Hedong, the Zhaoyi Army took the initiative to send troops to help with the victory of Wei Bo. Now that he even has the east of the river in his pocket, all princes who are not dazzled by ambition and do not have the support of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism should know what attitude to adopt when Li Ye arrives.
Since the Yiwu Army took the initiative to serve, Li Ye did not send the Pinglu Army to station in Yiwu City. His meaning was very clear, as long as the Jiedu Envoy obeyed the orders, he would not reduce the authority of the Jiedu Envoy.
After being recruited by the Yiwu Army, Li Ye stayed in Dingzhou for a day as usual, mainly to watch the other party post a notice to make the matter public. After collecting a group of people's luck at night, Li Ye continued to go north after dawn.
His schedule was quite tight, also because the Xuanwu army was still attacking Qingzhou. Although the war is safe for the time being, no one can guarantee whether there will be any sudden changes, so it is better to resolve the matter in the north as soon as possible.
When departing from Dingzhou, the Tsing Yi Yamen brought information about Youzhou.
According to Li Ye's previous speculation, based on his friendship with Liu Rengong, it is very likely that Youzhou will take over without a fight.
After all, he did not intend to let Lu Longjun send troops to follow him to fight, and after the situation in Pinglu stabilized, he would support Liu Rengong with some money, food, armored soldiers, and monks to help him guard the border. With such favorable conditions, it makes no sense that Liu Rengong would be ungrateful.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye had no chance to tell Liu Rengong about his plan.
"Liu Shouguang committed adultery with his concubine, was caught by Liu Rengong on the spot, and was beaten with sticks. Liu Shouguang gathered his general Huang Xingqin that night, launched a mutiny, and imprisoned Liu Rengong?"
"Not only that, Liu Shouguang also sent monks to Khitan, intending to ask for help from Khitan." The busy Song Jiao just came from Youzhou, her beautifully made-up eyes were still a little tired, it seemed that she had been running around for a long time .
