Cui Keli is in Qingzhou, and although Li Zhen is far away in Hedong, his own cultivation is not weak, and it doesn't take long to rush over.

However, the envoys of each town, although they are all cultivating at a high level of qi cultivation and the real human realm, they are bound to lead a team of hundreds of guards when they come to Qingzhou, and the speed is not too fast. However, Li Ye is not worried about this.

A few days later, Li Zhen rushed to Qingzhou, and Li Ye immediately held a military meeting in the palace hall.

Although the envoys of the towns have not yet arrived, Li Ye does not plan to wait for them, the original plan to send troops is for him to discuss with his henchmen, and the envoys of each town only need to implement it.

In addition to Li Zhen, Cui Keli and several other civilian officials, all of them were senior generals in the army, led by Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Chengcheng, and they sat in a full room.

These generals are not all stationed in Qingzhou, many of them are in other states or even other towns, and there are not many opportunities to meet in ordinary times, but now that they have gathered together, people who are familiar with each other can't help but exchange words.

"This time, His Highness is in a hurry to summon us back, it seems that there is a major operation, I don't know who you want to use troops against? Lao Liu, you have been by His Highness's side for a long time, and you are well-informed, so quickly reveal one or two to me. Zhao Poyu came to Liu Dazheng.

Liu Dazheng said lightly: "Who else can you use troops on, you don't think about it with your brain?

Zhao Poyu said hesitantly: "In this way, I really want to fight Zhu Wen? This is really good! In the past few months, Zhu Wen has used troops everywhere in the Central Plains, and the feudal towns near the Xuanwu Army have all been captured by him.

Liu Dazheng glanced at Zhao Poyu, "Do you think you have received a letter asking for help? Qingzhou is the place where His Royal Highness's palace is located, and the envoys sent by the envoys of various towns and festivals in the past few months are about to break the threshold! Even Tianping Xue Wei has come in person, and after the feudal town next to him was beaten down by Zhu Wen, he was so worried that he was scared to death, and he must send troops over to help defend it. Right now, the envoy of Qin Zongquan in Xuzhou is still in Qingzhou City!"

Zhao Poyu slapped his thigh fiercely, and said with annoyance: "So many feudal towns have come to ask His Highness for help, it can be seen that their hearts are still towards His Highness, and now His Royal Highness has dried them for a few months, and let their feudal towns be taken away by Zhu Wen, they must be cold!"

"Your Highness is ordered by His Majesty to have the power to control the entire Shandong military and government, and now the situation has been made like this by Zhu Wen, and the soldiers and people in all towns must be very disappointed in His Highness, which is very detrimental to His Highness's prestige! In the final analysis, this is not only a battle between Zhu Wen and His Highness, but also a big question of who controls the world between the Daomen and the Imperial Dynasty, and the princes and people of the world are watching it!"

Liu Dazheng sneered, "Zhu Wen has indeed been arrogant for a few months, occupying a lot of feudal towns, and the Daomen Daomen soldiers have also become majestic for a while, but so what? Now that His Highness is back, how long can they be presumptuous? Don't yell at me here, Your Highness will come down later, if you are arranged to take the lead, don't give me any encouragement!"

Zhao Poyu was stunned, "I, Zhao Poyu, will I still be afraid of him Zhu Wen? Don't say that if you take the lead, Your Highness will let me go straight to Bianzhou, and I dare to lead the troops to the battle immediately! Then Zhu Wen ignores His Highness, ignores our Pinglu Army, and has been making trouble in the Central Plains for so long, who doesn't hate the officers and soldiers of the three armies so much?"

At this time, Cui Keli, who was next to them, sighed, "How can it be that simple. ”

The two of them were puzzled, and they both looked at Cui Keli, "What does the gentleman mean by this?"

Cui Keli said leisurely: "Although His Royal Highness has the military and political power to control Shandong, Zhu Wen is in trouble in the Central Plains, and His Royal Highness can raise troops to recruit troops, but don't forget, now the Son of Heaven is in the hands of Li Maozhen! Although Li Maozhen is now shouting that Zhu Wen is a thief and calling on various feudal towns to use troops against him, if His Highness really wins the battle against Zhu Wen, won't he Li Maozhen be able to sleep and eat? Let His Highness sit in the north and the Central Plains, will Li Maozhen be so stupid?"

Liu Dazheng was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What does Mr. mean?"

Cui Keli's expression was solemn, "I am afraid that when His Highness will gain an advantage in the battle of Zhu Wen, Li Maozhen will issue an edict by the hand of the Son of Heaven to let His Highness retreat to Pinglu." When the time comes, the arrow will have to be fired, and if you ask His Highness to return or not, then Zhu Wen will be able to take the opportunity to counterattack; if he does not retreat, His Highness will be disloyal, and if Li Maozhen issues an edict to reprimand, it will be easy to beat His Highness into a chaotic minister and thief!"

"Don't forget, the reason why Your Highness is so smooth in the north is that it is very important to have the righteous name of the imperial court. Those feudal envoys are also because they see that they have a guaranteed future with His Highness, so they will follow His Highness so easily. Once His Royal Highness is accused of rebelling against the minister and becomes the target of public criticism, what will happen to the situation, there is no need for Cui to say more, right?"

Liu Dazheng and Zhao Poyu were dumbfounded, and their foreheads were soon covered with sweat.

If that's the case, it's really dangerous.

It's really very likely that things will develop this way!

Everyone didn't say anything more, because Li Ye had already arrived outside the door.

The full hall of civil officials and military generals all stood up and saluted each other, and moved out of the middle passage.

Li Ye walked past the crowd and went straight to the main seat, and then said to everyone: "All are exempt from courtesy, sit down." ”

Li Ye glanced at everyone, and first greeted him with a warm smile. Whether it is a civilian official or a military general, he is his minister of the humerus, and he is not idle on weekdays, he must express his concern for them, which is to recognize their contributions.

After the greetings, Li Ye didn't say any nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "In the past few months, the situation in the world has changed greatly. Zhu Wen brought the might of the Taoist soldiers to the Central Plains, Li Maozhen relied on the assistance of the Songyang soldiers to break through Chang'an and hold His Majesty hostage, Gao Biao and some Confucian scholars colluded to occupy Huainan and a large number of prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Xichuan Wang Jian also conquered the city in Shuzhong!"

"The princes of all sizes took advantage of the situation, and the smoke was endless everywhere, and the thieves were born and committed, and the society sank because of this, and the people were unable to live in peace, so that they were mourned all over the wilderness, and ten rooms and nine were empty! As an important minister of the Li Tang clan and the imperial court, the Lone King was trusted by His Majesty to control the military and political affairs of Shandong, and when he saw that the situation in the world was so erosive, he was heartbroken and could not sleep well! Wait a minute, what should the Lone King do?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly exploded, and the generals spoke one after another, asking for troops to sweep the world, clear the universe, and show the prestige of King An.

Li Zhen and Cui Keli glanced 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, the generals stopped talking.

Li Zhen is Li Ye's number one henchman, the oldest and the highest status, whether it is political talent or military strategy, he is one of the best existences, and now that he has stood up, he naturally has something to say, and everyone is ready to listen.

Living up to everyone's expectations, Li Zhenkan said: "His Royal Highness since he served as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, he has been sleeping at night, Tuntian repairing the city and casting armor and training, four years as a day, this is the image of the Pinglu soldiers' fine food, when Huangchao entered the Guanzhong, His Royal Highness led the soldiers of the towns to sweep away the chaotic soldiers, and then there was a great achievement. Since then, His Royal Highness has not dissolved the armor, never stopped bathing, leveling Weibo, conquering the east of the river, and stabilizing the north within ten months, the merit is in the community, and the benefit is in the world, so that the eight directions are admired. ”

"And today's chaos, the society is covered with dust, and the Son of Heaven is aggrieved, which is really the time and fate, and it is not His Highness's fault. At this moment, the Son of Heaven was held hostage by the thieves, and the edict did not exist.

"At that time, His Royal Highness will have a million heroes in his hands, the edict of the Son of Heaven will be on the throne, and the three armies will serve him, and the feudal towns of the world will not dare to disobey him, and will surely rush to enter the capital to bear the guilt;

Li Zhen's words were loud and powerful, and the aftermath was reverberating, like the sound of Jin Ge on the battlefield, which had the effect of initiation.

When the generals heard it, they were all impressed, and the civil officials were heartbroken when they heard it.

Li Ye bowed his head and said: "What Mr. said is very good. ”

After Li Ye returned from the demon clan, the situation in the world has changed greatly, and the current situation is different from before, and the trend of separating the princes has been formed. The most serious thing is that the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Li Maozhen, and Li Ye's future military actions can no longer be supported by the righteous name given by the imperial court.

If the name is not right, it will not work.

The division is unknown, it is for the rebels and thieves, and everyone in the world has it.

To put it simply, if Li Ye conquered all parties without an order from the imperial court, all feudal towns would be able to raise troops to resist with righteousness, and if Li Maozhen issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, the princes of the world would even be able to fight against Li Ye.

If the situation falls to this point, Li Ye will be struggling.

So the situation has changed, and Li Ye's response strategy must also change.

Li Zhen's words have only one main purpose, which is to clarify the direction of action for Li Ye in the future.

There is only one core idea: the Son of Heaven was held hostage, and the Son of Heaven ordered Li Ye not to take care of it anymore, no matter what edict Li Maozhen issued by Li Yan's hand, Li Ye only had to use the identity of the Li Tang clan and King An, and not let the righteous soldiers Qin Wang, play the banner of killing the rebels, and wave his army to the west.

And in this process, if anyone stands in the way of Li Ye to save Li Yan, he is a traitor and a traitor, and Li Ye can fight all the way.

For example, Zhu Wen.
