Cui Keli is in Qingzhou, and although Li Zhen is far away in Hedong, but his cultivation is not weak, it will not take long to rush over.
On the other hand, the Jiedu envoys of the various towns, although they are all of high-level Qi training and real-life cultivation, they will inevitably lead a guard team of hundreds of people when they come to Qingzhou, and the speed will not be too fast. But Li Ye was not worried about this.
A few days later, Li Zhen rushed to Qingzhou, and Li Ye immediately held a military meeting in the palace meeting hall.
Although the Jiedu envoys of the towns hadn't arrived yet, Li Ye didn't intend to wait for them. Originally, he had discussed with his confidantes about the plan to send troops, and the Jiedu envoys of the towns only needed to implement it.
Apart from several civilian officials such as Li Zhen and Cui Keli, those present were all senior generals in the army, led by Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Qingcheng, and the room was full.
Not all of these generals are stationed in Qingzhou, many of them are in other states or even other towns, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other, but now that they gather together, people who are acquainted can't help whispering.
"This time His Highness is in a hurry to call us back. It seems that there is a major action. I don't know who is going to use troops? Old Liu, you have been with His Highness for a long time, and you are well informed. Quickly tell me something." Zhao Polu approached Liu Dazheng before.
Liu Dazheng said indifferently: "Who else can you use troops against? You can't use your brain to think about it? The north and the south, who has provoked us now?"
Zhao Polu hesitantly said: "So, it really is going to beat Zhu Wen? This is really great! In the past few months, Zhu Wen has used troops everywhere in the Central Plains, and the towns near the Xuanwu Army have been captured by him. I have no law, if I don't take His Highness seriously, I have long wanted to beat him! To be honest, I have often received letters for help from the Jiedu envoys of nearby towns in Qizhou, but His Highness's military order is to obey You can't leave the city without orders, but I'm so overwhelmed that I'm going crazy!"
Liu Dazheng glanced at Zhao Polu, "You thought you were the only one who received the request for help? Qingzhou is where His Royal Highness's palace is located. In the past few months, the envoys sent by the Jiedu envoys of various towns have almost broken the threshold! On average, Xue Wei has come here in person. After the feudal town next to him was brought down by Zhu Wen, he was terrified to death, and we must send troops to help defend. Right now, the envoy of Qin Zongquan in Xuzhou is still in Qingzhou city!"
Zhao Polu slapped his thigh fiercely, and said annoyedly: "So many feudal towns have come to ask His Highness for help, it can be seen that they still have His Highness in their hearts, and now His Highness has let them hang out for a few months, and let their feudal towns be taken away by Zhu Wen." , they must be heartbroken!"
"Your Highness is ordered by His Majesty to have the power to control the military affairs of the entire Shandong Province. Now that the situation has been caused by Zhu and Wen, the soldiers and people in the towns must be very disappointed with His Highness. This is very detrimental to His Highness's prestige! In the end , This is not only a battle between Zhu Wen and His Highness, but also a big question of who controls the world between the Taoist sect and the dynasty, and the princes and common people in the world are watching!"
Liu Dazheng sneered, "Zhu Wen has indeed been arrogant for a few months, occupying many feudal towns, and the Taoist soldiers of the Taoist sect have also been prestige for a while, but so what? Now that His Highness is back, how long can they be arrogant? Don't follow me!" I'm yelling here, your highness will come down later, if you are arranged to lead the battle, don't give me cowardice!"
Zhao Polu glared, "I, Zhao Polu, will be afraid of him, Zhu Wen? Not to mention leading the battle, His Highness asked me to go straight to Bianzhou, and I dare to lead troops immediately! Then Zhu Wen ignored His Highness, ignored us The Pinglu Army, who has been in the Central Plains for so long, who doesn't hate it?"
At this time, Cui Keli beside them sighed, "It's not that simple."
The two were puzzled, and they both looked at Cui Keli, "What do you mean by that, sir?"
Cui Keli said leisurely: "Although your Highness has the military and political power to control Shandong, and Zhu Wen is in trouble in the Central Plains, His Highness can raise troops to conquer, but you must not forget that the emperor is now in Li Maozhen's hands! Although Li Maozhen is calling Zhu Wen a thief, call Various feudal towns use troops against him, but if His Highness really wins the battle against Zhu and Wen, wouldn't Li Maozhen be restless? Would Li Maozhen be so stupid to let His Highness occupy the north and the Central Plains?"
Liu Dazheng was startled, and quickly asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Cui Keli looked terrified, "I'm afraid that when His Highness gains an advantage in the battle against Zhu Wen, Li Maozhen will use the hand of the emperor to issue an edict to make His Highness return to Pinglu. At that time, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Do you want His Highness to retreat or not? , then Zhu Wen can take the opportunity to counterattack; if he does not retreat, His Highness will be disloyal, and if Li Maozhen issues an edict to reprimand him, it will be easy to beat His Highness into a traitor!"
"Don't forget, the reason why His Highness got the north so smoothly is that it is very important to have the righteous name of the court. Those feudal governors also follow His Highness so easily because they see that they have a guaranteed future with His Highness. Once Your Highness has been accused of treason and has become the target of public criticism, what will happen, so there is no need for Cui to say more, right?"
Liu Dazheng and Zhao Polu were dumbfounded, their foreheads were soon covered with sweat.
If this is the case, it is really dangerous.
But things are really very likely to develop like this!
Everyone didn't say any more, because Li Ye had already arrived outside the door.
All the civil servants and military generals in the hall stood up and greeted each other, and made way for the passage in the middle.
Li Ye walked through the crowd and came straight to the main seat, then said to the crowd: "You are welcome to take your seat."
Li Ye scanned the crowd, and first exchanged warm greetings with a smile. Whether they are civil servants or military generals present, they are all his humerus ministers, and they are not idle on weekdays. He must express his concern for them, which is an acknowledgment of their dedication.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Ye didn't say anything nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "The situation in the world has changed greatly in the past few months. Zhu Wen led the power of Dao soldiers to disrupt the Central Plains. Some Confucian scholars have ganged up on occupying Huainan and a large number of counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Wang Jian of Xichuan is also attacking cities in central Shu!"
"Princes big and small took advantage of the situation to rise, wars and smoke continued everywhere, thieves and thieves broke out, the country fell, and the people did not live in peace, so that mourning was everywhere, ten houses and nine empty houses! As the royal family of Li Tang and an important minister of the court, the lonely king is trusted by His Majesty , to control the military and government in Shandong, seeing the situation in the world has deteriorated to this point, it is heartbreaking to sleep and eat! Let me tell you, what should the lonely king do?"
As soon as this remark came out, the hall immediately exploded, and the generals spoke one after another, requesting to send troops to sweep the world, clarify the universe, and demonstrate the prestige of King An. Li Zhen and Cui Keli looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, the former got up and left his seat, came to the center of the lobby, and saluted Li Ye.
Seeing this, all the generals stopped talking.
Li Zhen is the number one confidant under Li Ye's command, with the oldest seniority and the highest status. He is one of the best in both politics and military strategy. Now that he has come forward, he naturally has something to say, and everyone is ready to listen.
Living up to everyone's expectations, Li Zhen talked eloquently: "Since your Royal Highness became the envoy of Pinglu, he has been sleeping all night long, garrisoning fields, repairing cities, casting armor and training soldiers. When Huang Chao entered Guanzhong westward, His Royal Highness led the soldiers from all the towns to wipe out the rebellious soldiers, and made great achievements. Since then, His Highness has not disarmed, kept bathing, flattened Weibo, conquered Hedong, and stabilized the north within ten months. The benefit is in the world, so it makes all directions admire."
"But today there is great chaos, the country is covered in dust, and the emperor is wronged. It is time and fate, and it is not His Highness's fault. Looking at the feudal towns and towns in the world, it is His Highness who can detect the disaster at this time, help the building that is about to fall, and turn the tide. At this moment, the Son of Heaven is held hostage by the bandit ministers, and the edict does not exist, so he boldly speaks out, His Highness should, as the clan and the king of An, raise troops to quell the chaos. Punish the evil thief Li Maozhen, regain the capital, welcome back the emperor, and set the order of the world!"
"At that time, His Highness will hold millions of soldiers, with the edict of the emperor above, and the three armies below. No one in the world will dare to refuse to obey, and they will all scramble to enter the capital to plead guilty; none of the four pirates will not be afraid, and they will surely disperse into the mountains and forests like birds and beasts! The country can be settled, and the world can be safe, so we can live up to the name of King An!"
Li Zhen's words were resounding and powerful, and the lingering lingering sound was like the sound of a sword on the battlefield, which had the effect of enlightenment.
When the generals heard it, they were all amazed, and when the civil officials heard it, they were all heartbroken.
Li Ye nodded and said: "What you said is very kind."
After Li Ye returned from the Yaozu, the situation in the world has changed drastically. The current situation is different from before, and the situation of the princes has formed. The most serious thing was that the emperor was held hostage by Li Maozhen, and Li Ye's future military operations would no longer be supported by the righteous name given by the court.
If the name is not right and the words are not right, then things will fail.
The teacher came out of no name, it was for the rebels and thieves, and everyone in the world got it.
To put it simply, if Li Ye conquered all parties without the imperial court order, all the feudal towns would raise their troops to resist. If Li Maozhen issued an edict in the name of the emperor, the princes of the world would even fight against Li Ye.

If the situation fell to this point, it would be very difficult for Li Ye to move forward.
So the situation changed, and Li Ye's countermeasures also changed.
Li Zhen's words had only one purpose, which was to clarify the direction of future actions for Li Ye.
There is only one core idea: the emperor was held hostage, and the emperor ordered Li Ye not to care about it. No matter what edict Li Maozhen issued through Li Yan's hand, Li Ye just had to do his part as Li Tang's clan and King An, and Xingyi's soldiers worked hard to fight the king. Under the banner of killing rebellious ministers, he waved his troops to the west.
And during this process, whoever blocked Li Ye's way to save Li Yan would be a traitor, and Li Ye could fight all the way there.
For example, Zhu Wen.
