I can strengthen infinitely

Chapter 206 [205] Rising Winds and Clouds

The old man took a few more glances, then suddenly stretched out his hand and whistled, and immediately a white dove fell from the sky and landed on his wrist.

"The signs of the decline of the Tang Dynasty have appeared, and the world is about to start to be chaotic." The old man touched the pigeon's back, took out a yellow scarf from his bosom and tied it to the pigeon's leg, and then let it go, allowing it to fly high into the sky quickly.

……

The capital of the western state of Shu, the land of Shu has many mountains and valleys, and the terrain is extremely rugged. It has always been a natural moat in the west of Kyushu.

In a cave in a mountain.

A white-haired old woman sat quietly on the mud platform holding a long staff with a crescent-shaped tip and a short staff with a red sun-shaped tip. Suddenly, the stone platform began to shatter visible to the naked eye. , a large number of cracks emerged.

The old woman opened her eyes with joy in an instant: "The real dragon is dead! The world is in chaos, and I'm waiting for the opportunity of the divine sect to come!"

……

A pavilion somewhere in the south.

Eighteen women each held a musical instrument and were playing a moving song. Suddenly, a shooting star flashed across the sky. The eighteen women stopped their movements one after another, with weird smiles on their faces.

"The emperor's star has fallen, and the Destiny has risen again, why can't I become the new Destiny." The young woman holding the flute laughed.

"I have arranged for many years, but now I can start to exert my strength. Right now, it still depends on who is willing to be the first shot in the world's uprising." Said the plump woman holding a pipa.

"Even if the Tang Dynasty is going to die, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Whoever dares to be the first to revolt will have to face the history of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. We must arrange some reckless men for this matter." Move first to disturb the court's sight." said the tall and thin woman holding the erhu.

"The ten permanent attendants have controlled the imperial court for many years. Some officials from all over the country have long been unable to stand it. They have made some small moves in private, otherwise they will expose their conspiracy in advance and expose it to the eyes of the world. In this way, these people can be regarded as If you don’t want to do it, you have to do it, and you have to do your best to fight Datang, as long as I support and help a few, I can reap the benefits of the fisherman.” Said the fat woman who was touching the zither.

"I have to go against it! Good good good good!"

For a while, there was a lot of laughter in the pavilion. Although there were many people discussing it, but after listening carefully, it felt that there was only one person talking to himself from the beginning to the end, which was very strange.

……

The death of the emperor is a major event that shocked the world, and it cannot be concealed.

Within two days, the news had spread to Jiangnan. When Liu Xian, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, heard the news, he was shocked.

It was too sudden, the emperor died suddenly, and the new emperor was waiting to succeed to the throne. This is the most restless time for Datang.

Everyone knows that Tang Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. Liu Xian has long wanted to rebel, and he has prepared a lot of things in private. For example, he asked Liu Zhizhang to dig gold mines in the depths of Meteor Mountain, just to bring him gold as an armament.

With money, you can build weapons and armor, recruit soldiers, and buy food and grass, all of which are the necessary conditions for rebellion.

But after all, Liu Xian has the intention of rebelling, Liu Xian is still very cautious, and it is true that he wants to rebel. If he jumps out and declares to the whole world that he is going to rebel at this moment, Liu Xian still does not have the courage.

He can be a follower, but he will never be a leader.

The study of the governor's mansion.

Liu Xian sat on a chair with a teacup in his hand, and asked Tong Yan, his counselor next to him, "Mr. Tong, I don't know why I always feel flustered about the emperor's death. Can you hide what we did? "

"My lord, there is no need to panic. We have been walking on thin ice for so many years, and we dare not relax at all. Any way is to cover up and hide it very well, and there is no possibility of problems." Tong Yan comforted.

Everyone will feel good about rebelling and seizing the throne, but if you really do it yourself, it will be another experience.

"Once Emperor Yong Le dies, the Ten Permanent Attendants will become even more unscrupulous. Once the crown prince takes power, he will obediently become a puppet in their hands. According to the current situation in this country, there will definitely be people who can't help but jump out to rebel. At that time, there will be such a stab. After passing through the hornet's nest, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, and everyone will start to express their opinions in the team." Liu Xian looked at the map of Tang Dynasty on the table, and fell into deep thought.

As the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, he is naturally able to obtain things that ordinary people cannot understand, and this military map is one of them.

I saw that the above detailed records described the terrain of the south, and the layout of various passes, bridges, and military camps were clearly displayed on the map, which can be seen at a glance.

Stretching his fingers to slide along a route, Liu Xiangang was immersed in his fantasies after the rebellion, when suddenly someone rushed in from outside the door, and shouted in panic: "Father! Father is not good!"

Liu Xian frowned, looked up, and saw that it was his eldest son Liu Wei.

Liu Xian has always hated other people's bluffing, so he taught his children to learn to be calm and not to panic no matter what happens, because a decision maker can only make the best choice when he is calm .

Liu Zhizhang has always done this very well, which is why he is deeply loved by Liu Xian.

"Break in without knocking, how decent! Why don't you get out of here quickly, kneel outside, and come in after half a stick of incense." Liu Xian yelled angrily, holding his strict father's airs.

On weekdays, Liu Wei would definitely do it right away, but at this moment, he seemed to be a different person. He didn't have the slightest intention of admitting to walk out of the room. Instead, he said anxiously: "Father, when will you Still doing this, our Liu family is almost doomed, and now the whole Yangzhou Prefecture is spreading the word that you, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, have a private army in the nearby mountains, intending to revolt and seek rebellion."

"What!?" Liu Xian's eyes widened in an instant, but he couldn't hold back his airs, and immediately stood up from his seat.

The news shocked him immensely.

How can it be?How did the news that he was treasonous got out?
And the most frightening thing is that the troops he raises are actually hidden in the mountains near Yangzhou Mansion on weekdays. This has always been a secret of Liu Zhizhang.

Now, however, the secret is no longer a secret.

In Liu Wei's gaze, he could see his father was trembling all over, trembling non-stop.

He had never seen Liu Xian like this before, and he was in extreme embarrassment.

Tong Yan was also shocked. This kind of secret is a life and death order. When it is exposed to others, it declares that there is already a sword hanging over the head of the entire Liu family. Once the sword falls, The Liu family must be copied and killed, and the nine families will be implicated.

Rebellion is a great crime.

"My lord..." Tong Yan asked hoarsely.

Liu Xian remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room fell into silence for a while, as cold as winter.

I don't know how long it took before Liu Xian spit out a few words unwillingly: "Go and mobilize all the troops. From today onwards, Liu Xian, the governor of Yangzhou, will rebel!"

……

Liu Xian is not the only one. Examples like his happened in the north and south of the country all at once, but those high officials from all over the country who had the heart of rebellion and boldly started to prepare for the uprising in secret, all within one day They were exposed one after another and became the target of public criticism.

Let the eyes of the whole world be fixed on them.

Although there was no response from the imperial court, everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Those rebel officials who did not know who had exposed them had already fallen into a dilemma of admitting their mistakes or dying for an uprising.

If you admit your mistake, it is naturally impossible for the imperial court to forgive these guys who dare to recruit troops privately.

Once the uprising is suppressed by the imperial army, there is no need to say much about the fate.

Under the double choice, local officials with high ranks all revolted. For a while, Kyushu was divided by various parties, and the flames of war loomed.

This added another hardship to the people who were already suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters, but it made many people secretly complain.

a few days later.

A teahouse in Qingyang City.

Qin Yuesheng sat in the corner eating dessert and drinking tea, while listening to the storyteller talk about the current situation in the world.

After occupying the Twelve Links Dock, he sat there for a few days, and waited until Du Xiaoqing's four dock owners completely controlled the entire Twelve Links Dock before returning to Qingyang City by boat.

When he left Twelve Links, he wanted to go to Yangzhou Mansion, but at that time, Liu Xian had turned his back on him, and the entire Yangzhou Mansion was controlled by his army like an iron barrel, which could not be entered or exited. , although Qin Yuesheng was not afraid, but he also lost the plan to go back, so he directly changed his destination and returned to his hometown directly.

Although Liu Xian is the governor of Yangzhou Mansion, his private army does not have the strength to occupy the entire Jiangnan in just a few days, let alone he has to spend some time to surrender the Tang army in Yangzhou Mansion some.

As a result, Qingyang City is still very safe now, and has not been affected in any way, but it may not be the case after a while.

If Liu Xian did not rebel, he thought that once he rebelled, he would first sweep the south of the Yangtze River, annex the major cities, and annex the troops of these cities to strengthen his own strength, so as to compete with the imperial court.

As Qingyang City, which is not too far from Yangzhou Mansion, its future situation can be imagined.

"Everyone, in just three days, a total of 36 people from Kyushu rebelled. The scene was unprecedented in a thousand years. It can be said that everyone is experiencing the biggest change in Kyushu in a thousand years." The storyteller He took a gavel and slapped it hard on the table, and it immediately resounded throughout the lobby, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing this person's black hair, jet-black and shiny, and his demeanor full of energy, one can tell that he is not an ordinary person.

"36 people? Are there so many? Then tell me about the biggest rebellion in the millennium. Is it possible that the world will change hands." A big man with a scabbard on his back asked in a urn.

In fact, in such a crowded place, it is very dangerous to openly discuss such things, but this person is obviously a knight-errant, as the so-called use of martial arts to violate the ban, in the eyes of these Jianghu people, the degree of fear of the court is far less than that of ordinary people. The common people are so high.

Hearing this person's inquiry, the storyteller smiled: "Who can tell, I'm not a fortune teller. If you want to know the current situation in Kyushu, I can tell you something."

"Then tell me." The big man directly threw a cloth bag on the storyteller's table, only to hear the jingling, but the bag was full of copper coins.

"This hero is straightforward." The storyteller stretched out his hand to accept it: "Among the 36 people, one is Liu Xian, the governor of our Yangzhou Prefecture. This person has been hiding very deeply, and has not been seen by others all these years. If the news hadn't been leaked somehow this time, I'm afraid this person wouldn't have been exposed so early."

Qin Yuesheng stuffed a rose puff pastry into his mouth, and Liu Xian wanted to rebel, but he knew about it a long time ago, which is not surprising.

"How is Liu Xian's strength? Can he stand firmly in Jiangnan?" the big man asked.

"Inspector Liu's preparations for many years needless to say, as long as he subdues the soldiers in the Yangzhou government, it will not be a problem to have a hundred thousand soldiers." The storyteller shook his fan: "Although there are two officers and soldiers in Jiangnan who also rebelled , but in terms of climate, it is far less huge than Liu Cishi, and it is estimated that Liu Cishi will become the number one overlord in the south of the Yangtze River within this year."

A man in civilian clothes suddenly asked: "Will Inspector Liu really last that long? Won't the imperial court send troops to beat him?"

The storyteller smiled faintly: "If there is only one person rebelling, the imperial court will naturally be able to punish him. It is not a problem to crush him to death, but you have to know that now there are 36 people rebelling at the same time, and the pressure on Chang'an is huge. If the imperial court takes action against anyone, the remaining 35 people will immediately start annexing the land of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time march towards Chang'an while strengthening themselves. No matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, after being divided, it is impossible to deal with so many troops at the same time."

Qin Yuesheng nodded. For the 36 rebellious officials, the first target to be wiped out must be the imperial court. After the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, they will start the battle for king with peace of mind and decide the final winner.

As long as Datang exists, these people will always have a common enemy.

Unlike ordinary people, Qin Yuesheng has thought about something deeper, that is, there are powerful internal warriors in this world. For example, his current strength is enough to defeat an army by himself. of those.

From Qin Yuesheng's limited cognition, he knew that the chief inspector of the Seven Star Supervisor was the prince of the Tang royal family, and also a top-notch strong man with tenth level of inner strength.

If such a strong person is sent to assassinate directly, I am afraid that officials like Liu Xian will not be able to shake the foundation of Tang Dynasty even if they have millions of soldiers.

Those people in Chang'an naturally couldn't think of things that they could think of.

Many days have passed, and these 36 people are still alive and well, without any appearance of being affected by the assassination at all.

There is only one possibility for this kind of thing, and that is that there are also powerful internal warriors secretly protecting these 36 people, so that Chang'an can't eradicate these rebel officials without bloodshed.

"The turmoil in Kyushu this time is by no means simple. It is estimated that many martial arts sects have sneakily mixed in behind the scenes." Qin Yuesheng secretly said.
