Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

"This king is the emperor himself? Is this going to rebel against the court?"

Li You's expression changed.

"If it fails, we will all be killed by the court."

"Don't worry, King Qi, under our training, all the soldiers and horses in Qizhou can defeat a hundred with one!"

Yan Hongliang said confidently.

"If the imperial court sends troops to come, we will serve the wine with our right hand and kill the enemy army with our left hand for King Qi."

"Uncle, what do you think of this matter?"

Li You looked at Yin Hongzhi, wanting to hear his opinion.

"As Brother Yan said, we have no other choice. Instead of being constrained by others, it is better for King Qi to be the emperor himself!"

"What's more, we still have a surprise soldier.

Even if the imperial court sends troops to come, there is a certainty of victory! "

Hearing what Yin Hongzhi said, Li You gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay! We reversed!
It's my father who was unkind first, so don't blame me for being unrighteous. "

As he spoke, Li You's eyes showed a murderous intent.

"King Qi, Quan Wanji should be executed before raising the banner of righteousness!" Zan Junmo suggested.

"Yes, Quan Wanji must be killed first." Liang Mengbiao agreed.

"Quan Wanji has always been disrespectful to the King of Qi. If we raise the flag of righteousness, he will definitely oppose it and bring other people from Qizhou to hinder King Qi."

Yin Hongzhi followed closely.

"Ah."

Li You nodded.

After a pause, his expression and tone became severe:
"Yan Hongliang listens!"

"exist!"

Yan Hongliang immediately stood up, bowed and waited for the order.

"You immediately lead a team of soldiers and horses to kill Quan Wanji!"

"promise!"

……

Qizhou Governor Shi Fuchu.

After Quan Wanji received the order from the imperial court, he prepared to pack up his burden and return to Chang'an to return to his command.

"Chang Shi, it's not good, it's not good!"

A guard rushed in without knocking on the door.

Quan Wanji glared at the guard in dissatisfaction, and said angrily:

"In a hurry, without knocking on the door, what a shame!"

"Report to Chang Shi. Yan Hongliang is leading a group of soldiers into Chang Shi's mansion. They claim to arrest Chang Shi."

"what?"

Quan Wanji's expression changed drastically.

"How... how is it possible?"

"Changshi run away!"

"They are going to rebel!"

"Yes, we are going to rebel!"

At this moment, Yan Hongliang's voice came.

Quan Wanji wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Yan Hongliang rushed in with a dozen soldiers.

Seeing this, Quan Wanji's guards were about to fight back, but were stabbed to death by the opponent.

"Yan... Yan Hongliang, you... how dare you kill the guards of Changshi Mansion? You are so bold! I will definitely tell His Majesty to kill you!"

Although Quan Wanji was afraid, but he was upright by nature and couldn't help but curse.

"Want to kill me everywhere? You have no chance!"

Yan Hongliang raised the knife and hacked Quan Wanji to death.

Once Quan Wanji died, Li You ordered all the soldiers and civilians in Qizhou to rebel against the imperial court.

Li You made himself emperor, and named Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, and Yan Hongliang as King Tuoxi, King Tuodong, and King Tuobei respectively.

Worship Yin Hongzhi as the king of Qi and the governor of Qingzhou.

Other relatives enclose official positions such as Shangzhu State and Kaifu Yitong Sansi.

At the suggestion of Yin Hongzhi, Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, Yan Hongliang and others, Li You conscripted men over 15 years old in the city, and even drove the common people into the city to serve as soldiers.

Li You opened the treasury and rewarded those people and recruits who were willing to fight for him.

At the beginning, Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, and Yan Hongliang led Qizhou soldiers and horses, and they quickly controlled Qing, Zi and other nearby counties.

……

Changan.

An hour has passed since the drumbeat of the curfew.

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, Hong Ling urgently reports, quickly open the city gate, no one is involved, quickly avoid!"

A Hong Ling urgently rode a fast horse and entered Zhuque Street.

"Hong Ling's urgent report? Is there another war in the border area?"

"It seems that there will be another war."

"It's been a long time since Hong Ling rushed into Chang'an City with such an anxious report. I'm afraid this time the battle will be very serious."

The people on both sides of Suzaku Avenue were discussing in low voices.

Li Er was reviewing the memorial in Ganlu Hall when he suddenly heard the servant report anxiously:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Hong Ling hastened eight hundred miles to send back the urgent report."

Li Er frowned, and said anxiously:

"Bring it up quickly!"

The servant rushed in and presented an urgent report to Li Er.

Li Er opened the emergency report, glanced at it, and his expression changed.

"Stupid, really stupid!"

Li Er cursed loudly.

The servant stood aside, lowered his head hurriedly in fright, not daring to vent his breath.

"Quick! Immediately summon all civil and military ministers of rank three and above in Chang'an City to the Hall of Liangyi for discussion!"

"promise!"

Two quarters later, all civil and military ministers of the third rank and above who were able to move around in Chang'an City came to the Hall of Liangyi.

Everyone didn't know what happened, and many people talked about it.

Li Er glanced at the ministers and coughed dryly.

The ministers immediately fell silent.

Li Er said solemnly:
"I just received an urgent report that Li You, under the instigation of Yin Hongzhi, Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, Yan Hongliang and others, rebelled against him. Qi Prefecture Governor Shi Quan Wanji was killed by Yan Hongliang and others..."

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

But when they saw Li Er's displeasure, they immediately shut up and kept quiet.

"Now, Li You is guarding Qizhou, and the counties and counties near Qizhou, such as Qing and Zi, have been controlled by soldiers and horses of Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, and Yan Hongliang."

Li Er said sharply.

"Masters, tell me, how should I deal with this matter?"

"Your Majesty, you should immediately send troops to attack King Qi!"

Changsun Wuji played first.

"Seconded!"

Many ministers are in favor of Changsun Wuji.

"Report to Your Majesty, I believe that we should first send someone to negotiate with King Qi."

Wei Zheng continued.

"Explain the gains and losses to the King of Qi, and the King of Qi should give up resistance.

If this matter can be dealt with without bloodshed, the losses of soldiers and common people will be reduced. "

"Seconded!"

Wei Zheng's suggestion was also endorsed by many ministers.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for King Qi to be willing to negotiate with the imperial court."

Fang Xuanling also appeared on the list.

"The reason why King Qi dares to rebel is that he will not compromise easily.

Even if he was willing to compromise, the minions around him would not let him do so. "

"Seconded!"

Fang Xuanling's advice was also endorsed by many ministers.

Li Er synthesized the suggestions of all the ministers, and the result was that there were many more people in favor of sending troops than in favor of negotiations.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, do you have any suggestions?"

Li Er's eyes fell on Li Ji who had been silent all this time.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also agree to send troops to attack King Qi!"

Li Ji said calmly.

"If you are asked to lead the army, is there a countermeasure?"

Li Er stared at Li Ji, then asked.

Li Ji thought for a while:
"The minister believes that it is possible to send troops from Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, Hai and other prefectures to fight against the rebellion.

These state capitals happened to be in a state of encirclement of Qizhou. "

"Okay! Just do what you say!"

Li Er raised his voice.

"Military Minister Li Ji listens to the order!
I order you to send troops to attack Li You and his rebels! "

"promise!"

"Do you need the assistance of a general appointed by the court?" Li Er asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am willing to assist the Minister of the Ministry of War to fight against the rebellion!"

Without waiting for Li Ji's response, Wei Hao went out to ask for a job.
