Chapter 514: The River is Falling
"Rebel against the thief, rebel against the thief" Lu Di raised the sword of the Son of Heaven and shouted loudly.
The 50,000 people in the audience also raised their arms and followed: "Rebel against the thief, rebel against the thief."
The sound that shook the heavens and the earth, the sound of breaking through the clouds, tore people's eardrums.
Looking at the 50,000 people chanting in unison, Lu Di shed tears and muttered, "Father, you watch how the child avenges you." β
When Chen Heng learned that Zhong You had escaped from Linzi with the edict and the Great Seal, he knew that things were not good, and he hurriedly convened his henchmen to hold an emergency meeting.
The final result of the negotiation was:
On the one hand, in the name of the new monarch, he reprimanded Lu Di and Zhong You for colluding with the scholars and deceiving the scholars and committing rebellion, hoping that he could stop it, otherwise the country would be blamed for being ruthless, and when the army was crushed, everything would be dust.
On the other hand, an emergency mobilization order was initiated, recruiting troops and horses in the area under its control, forming a new army, and at the same time, the great Sima Huazhou was ordered to take a total of 150,000 soldiers from the Zhenbei camp, Linzi camp, Sishang camp, and Donghai camp to the southwest of Qi State, preparing to suppress LΓΌ Di's rebellious rebel army.

The latest news of the rebel army reached the ears of Chen Heng, the auxiliary minister of Linzi, Chen Heng has not slept well in the past few months, he didn't expect that his arrangements for many years would be so vulnerable, it was a land of nearly forty cities in five counties!
The parallel system of cities and counties implemented by the Qi State, the so-called city system is controlled by the big city around the small yi, and the small yi controls the township pavilion track, etc., and the scope of its implementation is mainly the Qi country itself before the first war of Chu, it has a total of eleven big cities, such as Acheng, Lixia, Donghai, Chunyu, Yeyi, Yuanqiu, Rao, Tai'an, etc., its political status is equivalent to the county in the county system of the new land of Qi after the war of Chu.
Lu Di took the five counties and added the secret cities, namely Mocheng and Tai'an City, and the territory under his actual control was no less than the area that Qi could control now.
"Damn, shit!" Chen Heng roared in the hall with blood-red eyes.
"Where is Da Sima now?" Chen Heng suddenly remembered the letter of his eldest son Tian Pan's request for help, and couldn't help but ask the messenger urgently.
The report soldier said: "Da Sima has gathered a total of 150,000 troops from the four major battalions, but it takes a while for the four major battalions to cooperate with each other, so Da Sima's concession told the auxiliary minister......
"Tell what?" Chen Heng was furious when he heard this, he kicked down and reported to the soldiers: "You tell him Hua Zhou, he is already a grasshopper on the same rope as us, and now it's too late to regret it, if you want to live, if you want to keep his family, and keep his glory and wealth, you will lead troops to rescue Tianpan for Benxiang, and fight to the death to resist Lu Di'er's attack, do you hear?" β
When the herald soldier heard this, he shouted a promise, and then hurried back.
As soon as this messenger went down, another messenger hurriedly ran over: "Report: The order of the city of Yuanqiu north of the river has sent an urgent report, and the six secretaries of the Jin State are headed by the commander Wei Shu of the Wei clan, and a total of about 100,000 troops have been gathered, and now outside the city of Yuanqiu, there seem to be signs of attacking our country."
Chen Heng was just about to make arrangements, when another messenger ran over: "Report: Acheng Chengling was persuaded by Duanmuci, an old disciple of Confucius, to raise the banner of crusade against the rebellion, and now he is leading 5,000 troops, preparing to attack Lixia, and Li ordered to ask for assistance."
"Newspaper: There is a large number of East Lai Yi people, and their movements are unknown"
β¦β¦
"Newspapers: Song, Chen, Cai, Cao, Zou, Yan, Zhongshan, Qin, Yiqu, Tang, Dun, Liu, Yue, Zhongshu, Yanren, Bao...... A total of 36 vassal states announced the severance of diplomatic relations with our country"
β¦β¦
"Newspaper: The army of Chu State, Wu State and Lu State is gathering on the border of our country, I don't know why?"
β¦β¦
One after another news, Chen Heng was out of breath, how could this be?
He couldn't understand how a good situation could collapse in an instant?
Everywhere the rebel army went, except for the rebellion in Micheng and Jimo City, the others were all looking at the wind, and many of the city's scholars were even eating pot pulp, welcoming them and enthusiastically participating in the rebel army.
From today onwards, these places have officially become the places where Lu Di rebelled against the army.
Seeing that the situation was very good, Wu Zixu sighed to the left and right when he saw this: "The hearts of the sons are so far, who in the world can fight?" β
The rebel army went from 50,000 to 80,000, 100,000, and that number was increasing all the time.
The army besieged Chunyu City, and the city order of Chunyu City was Chen Heng's eldest son, Chen (Tian) Pan.
When Lu Di learned the news, he immediately ordered Sun Wu, the general of the Ping Thief, to besiege the city, waiting for his arrival, and making a decision.
The camp tent of Sun Wu, the general of the Ping Thief.
Gongsun, the general of the left forward, was a little angry, and he said: "General, I don't understand, why did Gongzi let us surround and not fight, what was he waiting for?" β
The other people in the tent also shouted, they really didn't understand Lu Di's intentions.
Along the way, their vanguard army is invincible, and wherever they go, they either surrender directly, or change their banners before they arrive, even if they occasionally encounter a big city similar to Jimo and Mi under the control of the Tian family, they only need a face-to-face attack, and the other party will be immediately disabled by themselves.
Now as long as Chunyu is captured, Linzi will not be far away, seeing that victory is in sight, can they not be in a hurry?
Sun Wu laughed loudly when he saw the noisy people in the tent: "Generals, your intentions should have been understood, but have you ever thought that we have captured nearly forty-five cities in five counties and two cities in such a short period of time, and how many remnants of Chen Heng's thieves have not been cleared out of these cities?" β
"Just because we hit the cities doesn't mean that these cities are ours, I think Childe's plan is to take this opportunity to clean up these cities and destroy all those pickles."
"But what does this have to do with not attacking Chunyu City?" Gongsun was still puzzled, and all the generals nodded one after another.
At this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice came in from outside the tent: "There is a relationship, of course there is a relationship."
