Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 398
"What? Li Liangjin gathered a crowd to rebel in Yangzhou?"

In the lobby of the yamen, Fu Tianchou, who was sitting on the main seat, opened his eyes wide when he heard the news, stood up in shock, and made an unbelievable sound.

"Yes, yes, my lord." Mao Wu knelt on the ground and said panickedly.

He explained clearly what happened in the county town, and he had no choice but to convince Fu Tianchou.

After a brief shock, Fu Tianchou looked at Li Xiuyuan again: "You also know about this?"

"I just found out today." Li Xiuyuan said.

Fu Tianchou said, "Is it true or not?"

He knew that Li Xiuyuan had the ability to control ghosts and gods, he was very well informed, and knew some things that ordinary people didn't know.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If it's fake, how dare I beat the drums to disturb your lord? It will sweep Yangzhou, and within half a year will bring chaos to the whole of Jiangnan, adults should also be very clear that the Jiangnan generation bears six out of ten of the country's taxes, if Jiangnan is in chaos, the world will be in chaos."

Now the imperial court is already corrupt and chaotic. The reason why the country can survive the chaos is because no one started it.

If Li Liangjin took the lead and set off the rebellion first, I am afraid that the whole world will say that turmoil is everywhere.

"Thirty thousand people, thirty thousand people." Fu Tianchou muttered to himself, looking a little dazed.

This amount is really a bit much for him.

How can there be 3 bandits in this dynasty?These 20 people are pitifully less than the 10,000 to [-] troops, but this is just the beginning. If the city is captured and the people are enslaved, the [-] people will soon become [-]+ people, and the consequences will not be great. same.

"My lord, what are you still hesitating about? Why haven't you reported it to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send troops to quell the chaos?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

At this time, Fu Tianchou said in disbelief, "Peace, quell the chaos? What are you going to use to quell the chaos? Do you know that there is a military camp outside Jinling City with a garrison of 20 troops. It was set up at the founding place of the imperial court to stabilize the Jiangnan area An Ning, but the last time the Hou Mansion was in turmoil, when I checked the barracks, I found out that "

Having said that, he stopped abruptly, realizing that such a major national event cannot be said casually.

Li Xiuyuan is a smart person, he immediately understood what Fu Tianchou meant when he heard the words.

That barracks might have been emptied long ago. Although it claims to have 20 soldiers, in reality it might not even be able to pull out [-] soldiers, otherwise Fu Tianchou wouldn't be so worried.

"My lord, in this way, there is no way to put down the rebellion?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

Fu Tianchou was silent, not knowing what to say.

After learning about Jinling City and the general situation in Yangzhou, he deeply understood how difficult it is to put down these [-] bandits.

"I will report the truth. If the war is really irretrievable, I will plead guilty to the imperial court." Fu Tianchou said, "You all step back, don't make any noise about this matter, lest the troubled people panic. .”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand helplessly, signaling Li Xiuyuan and Mao Wu to leave.

Li Xiuyuan did not back down, but strode up to the desk and said, "Master Fu, don't you ignore the people in Yangzhou by doing this? Don't you know how terrible the danger of military disasters is? Reporting to the court is the It will take a month to go back and forth. If it is delayed for one or two days, I am afraid that Yangzhou will be defeated by the rebels. Since Mr. Fu is the Minister of the Ministry of War, why don't you go to the military camp outside the city to transfer troops to quell the chaos? At worst, you have to practice for a while. A ready-to-fight army in case of emergencies."

Fu Tianchou yelled: "Absurd, the transfer of troops in the army has to be done by the imperial decree, not to mention my official, even the generals in the barracks who privately transfer troops will be beheaded, Li Xiuyuan, you want to be implicated by this official to kill the nine clans? "

If the marriage between him and Fu Qingfeng is finalized, Fu Tianchou will be punished by the nine clans, and he will also be punished.

"My lord, why don't you ask for orders while urging the generals in the army to train a battle-ready army, just wait for the imperial decree, and your lord can supervise the army to fight." Li Xiuyuan said.

"I have this idea, why do you need to talk too much, Li Xiuyuan, you step back, and the marriage between you and Qingfeng is postponed, and I will discuss with your father after this matter is over." Fu Tianchou said again.

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan knew that Fu Tianchou was probably lacking in confidence, and was already preparing for the future. The delay in the marriage was naturally because he was afraid that he would be involved in it.

But the more this is the case, the more it shows that Fu Tianchou's pleading for life in danger has little chance of success.

"Since Mr. Fu doesn't have the confidence to quell the chaos, please ask Mr. Fu to find a position as a guerrilla general for me, just in case." Li Xiuyuan said.

Fu Tianchou looked sternly and said: "What do you want to do? Do you want to rely on your Li family's money to recruit Xiangyong to resist bandits? Absurd, you are a scholar, and you will join Enke in the spring of next year, no If there is an accident, you will be able to become a Juren, and you will take the palace examination in the autumn, and you will have a chance to be named on the gold list, and your life will be ruined if you enter the military profession."

"Isn't it better to lose fame than to lose the lives of the whole family, so please help me?" Li Xiuyuan cupped his hands.

With the military position of a guerrilla general, he can form an army in a legitimate way. When Jiangnan is in chaos, who will care about the existence of a guerrilla general?

"Thirty thousand thieves and bandits gathered to make trouble may not necessarily come near Jinling City. Yangzhou is so large and there are defenders everywhere. Maybe they will be wiped out soon." Fu Tianchou said.

put out?

Li Xiuyuan smiled wryly in his heart.

If Li Liangjin rebelled, he didn't have to worry about it. This prince's son would not be able to achieve anything, but this is not a simple rebellion. The old Black Mountain demon has been involved, and there may be other ghosts involved.

Among other things, he had to find a way to deal with the name of the old demon of Montenegro, otherwise he would not ask for the position of the guerrilla general.

"A large battalion of 20 troops in Jinling City has been eaten away, how can the defenders in various places be better?" Li Xiuyuan said: "Master Fu has been here for so long, don't you understand the situation here? The garrison usually acts as a domineering force, and they still have a way of bullying the people, let them go to quell the chaos, I'm afraid they will escape faster than anyone else."

"It's illegal to seek an official position for you. You are forcing me to use power for personal gain."

Fu Tianchou scolded; "I will never agree to this matter. You don't need to persuade me any more. If you really want to save the country, go study hard. When you win the number one prize, you can naturally stretch your ambitions. Come and bring people with you." They go out."

After finishing speaking, he was merciless and directly asked the servants to throw Li Xiuyuan and Na Wuwu out.

After Li Xiuyuan left, he couldn't help sighing again; "It's a good thing that you have the desire to save the country, but how can your future be ruined here? You may be able to save a moment of emergency if you become a military officer, but to govern the world, you must have Become a civil servant, I want to support you, how can I let your future be ruined here."

After sighing, he hurriedly wrote a memorial to report Li Liangjin's rebellion to the court.

And Li Xiuyuan's face was a little ugly after being blasted out.

Although he has already experienced Fu Tianchou's pedantic, foolish and loyal character, but when he encounters a major event, it still makes people very angry.

"This road is different, and we need to think of other ways. There is no unparalleled road, and the position of guerrilla general must be obtained." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Without a position, even if he summoned bodyguards, it was impossible to form an army to fight.

No name, no status, he is no different from a bandit, if he is used by someone with a heart, it will be bad.

"Go back to the government to discuss countermeasures. One person will plan for the disadvantages, and everyone will consider the advantages." Li Xiuyuan calmed down and prepared to return to the government.

At this time, Mao Wu asked cautiously: "My lord, can you leave?"

Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and said, "Do you have any relatives to join you?"

"No, no, all the younger relatives are in the county," Mao Wu said with a downcast expression.

"My house lacks a guard, are you interested?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Thank you, Young Master, for taking me in." Mao Wu hurriedly kowtowed.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Let's go."

But when he was on the road, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Li Xiuyuan, you lost~!"

The voice came from among the passing crowd, and it was unknown who was speaking.

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan looked back, but saw nothing.

A passerby suddenly passed by his side and left a sentence: "Li Xiuyuan, you lost, have you forgotten the bet outside Jinling City that day?"

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were fixed, and he looked at the pedestrian, but the pedestrian was in a daze, rubbed his head and looked around in a daze.

Another pedestrian stood on the second floor of the roadside restaurant, looked at him and said, "Li Xiuyuan, you have failed to manage Yangzhou. Without the jurisdiction of Tiangong, Yangzhou is even more chaotic than before."

"I wonder if the god in the Heavenly Palace has descended?" Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

"The war has broken out, don't you admit defeat?" Suddenly, a woman passed by and asked Li Xiuyuan with a blank expression.

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "In the troubled world of monsters, I will calm the chaos myself. You are a little too concerned."

"When there is a disaster, I don't know how many people will die. Can you afford this murder? Do you still want to be holy?" After the woman left, a bartender who bought wine suddenly looked up at him and said.

"Admit defeat, let go of the sword, and the gods of our Tiangong will come down to quell the chaos, and the common people will not suffer from the disaster." A roadside peddler said.

"You can't control the affairs of the world. You are a born saint. As long as you accumulate merits, write books and write biographies, and educate the people, you will become a saint after a hundred years. Why bother to fight for peace in the world?"

Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes and said, "I'm not fighting for peace in the world. What I'm fighting for is that good and evil are rewarded, that yin and yang are orderly, and that heaven and earth are just. I haven't forgotten the original bet. I will keep my promise. If the rebels attack Entering Jinling City, not only will I put down the sword to kill immortals, but I will also end my life in advance."

"You are a saint in the world, your promise is worthy of trust." A flying crow creaked and called out.

Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes at this moment: "If I promise, I will keep it, but if the gods in your Heavenly Palace are also involved in this rebellion, don't blame me, Li Xiuyuan, for killing the Heavenly Palace with a sword in hand."

"Ka~!"

The crow was startled, left a few feathers behind, and flew away quickly.

There was no sound like this on the street again.
