The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 522 Discussing the Establishment of the Qi Alliance Army

With the arrival of winter, heavy snow came one after another, and with the road blocked by snowflakes all over the sky, the battle situation in the north quickly fell silent.

The forces of all parties are taking advantage of the winter time to rest and recuperate, prepare their armies for war, and make sufficient preparations for the battle in the coming year.

As for the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature has not dropped to a certain level because winter has little impact on it.

Therefore, at this time, the anti-kings in the south are still fighting vigorously.

······
For a while, the originally extremely noisy battle situation in the north quieted down, but the struggle in the south continued.

In the territory of Qi State, after Gao Qi seized Lingnan, he always focused on the situation in Jiangdong.

Seeing that the Xiang Group killed Hong Xiuquan and turned out to fight against the Taiping Army, Gao Qi keenly felt that this was his own opportunity.

Taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, maybe you can break into Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and strive to unify Jiangnan as soon as possible.

It's just that, when the military power, ordnance, food and grass were mobilized on a large scale in Qiqi territory, something unexpected happened.

It is only said that on top of Xiang Yan's call to action, the world's anti-kings were widely called to unite and unite against Qi.

In addition, Gao Qi's major crimes were also listed in the call-to-action document: [-]. As the son-in-law of the Sui Emperor, Gao Qi did not want to repay the country's favor in order to restore the Sui Dynasty, but he suddenly became self-reliant and changed the dynasty.

With the momentum of this move, Gao Qi, an ambitious man, calls on the heroes of the world to fight against him!
Two: After the establishment of Baoqi, it has been in a constant battle, preventing the people in the territory from resting and recuperating, and harming the people.

Such an ambitious person, without any regard for the feelings of the people, calls on the people of the world to discuss it together!
Three: Our heroes in the world are all fighting for the interests of the people. Only the tyrant Gao Qi has selfishness and wantonly suppressed the sons and gentry.

Therefore, I hope that the noble families and gentry all over the world will unite to resist the violent Qi and overthrow its rule.

It has to be said that Xiang Yan can still confuse people's hearts, and speak clearly and clearly about things that don't exist!

This kind of fabricated illusion is also unmatched by anyone!

It's just that, with the issuance of this call-to-action, anti-kings from all over the country joined forces one after another.

Among them, the Huaixi Army Zhu Yuanzhang's unit was the first to propose, followed by Shandong Zhuwen and Caozhou Meng Haigong all participating in the alliance.

Not only that, even Li Gui, who was far away in Hexi, responded to the call under the persuasion of the surrendered general Lu Bu.

With a lot of power, Liangzhou warlords, such as Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, were afraid of Li Gui's power, and united together, preparing to march against the Qi army in Hanyang, Wudu and other places.

However, fortunately, at this time Li Tang's focus was on the Eastern Expedition to Luoyang Wang Shichong, so Li Yuan did not respond to the call.

In addition, Dou Jiande has now unified the central area of ​​Hebei, and his army is powerful. Li Tang also gathered heavy troops in Bingzhou to defend his army.

Otherwise, with Li Tang's participation, I am afraid that the situation of the Qi army will be even worse!
However, Li Yuan would not let go of this god-given opportunity, and ordered Li Xiaogong to prepare for war in Hechi and to monitor the situation at all times.

If you have the opportunity, you can take advantage of the situation and rush into Hanchuan to seize the land of Bashu.

Next, Xiang Yan used Fan Zeng as an envoy to go in and out of the Taiping Army camp, and met Shi Dakai in person, and stated his powerful relationship.

After some thoughtful decisions, Shi Dakai and Chen Youliang both responded to the call and jointly resisted the advance of the Qi army.

In fact, this is also the helpless move of the rebel kings in Jiangdong. After all, with the pacification of Lingnan by the Qi State, their worries for the future will be eliminated.

It is conceivable that if the Jiangdong forces are fighting each other, once the Qi army launches the Eastern Expedition, which force can fight alone?
Therefore, Xiang Yan's call to action can be said to be just right, because Jiangdong forces need an initiator, and then form an alliance logically.

Nearly ten days later, all the anti-kings in Jiangdong led their own troops to assemble in Pengze, Jiujiang County, and announced their alliance.

However, only Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, Shi Dakai and Xiang Yan's clan were strictly allied this time.

After all, whether it is Zhu Wen, Meng Haigong, or even Hexi Ligui, their forces are too far apart and not adjacent to their land.

Except that Li Gui could put pressure on the Qi army in northern Sichuan, the other two places only provided solidarity without substantial help.

However, at the time of the alliance, the anti-kings had conflicts, that is, who is the leader of the alliance?
The rebel army, united against Qi, must first elect an ally who can lead the army to lead the army.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed that the leader with the most powerful troops under his command be the leader of the alliance, but this move was directly unfeasible.

Because, if you want to talk about the strongest military strength, it is well-deserved that it is the Taiping Army.

However, Shi Dakai knew Du Ming in his heart, and knew that this so-called alliance would not last long, and that all parties against the king had their own selfish motives.

For the real destruction of Qi, Shi Dakai did not give much hope!

After all, all the anti-kings have their own selfish intentions, and they don't want to let their own strength suffer too much, so it must be accompanied by the preservation of everyone.

Therefore, Shi Dakai directly rejected the position of leader.

Later, Chen Youliang suggested again: "From Chen's point of view, this time we will join forces to fight against Qi."

"As we all know, Qi's military strength is strong, which is obvious to all!"

"It's better to divide the alliance leader by strength. After all, the stronger leader can lead the coalition forces to victory."

"General Zhu's Huaixi Army has fought against the Qi Army for a long time, and Chen has elected General Zhu to lead our coalition forces."

Suddenly, Chen Youliang recommended Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time, which was unexpected by everyone!
After all, in addition to being adjacent to the Qi army, Zhu Yuanzhang's territory frequently clashed, but it was also adjacent to Chen Youliang.

The relationship between the two is also very disharmonious on weekdays. If it weren't for the response to this call, how could the two be united?

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and shook his head directly, saying: "General Chen's words are wrong. I, Zhu Yuanzhang, was born in a poor family. How can He De be able to be the leader of the alliance?"

"Additionally, I'm not talented enough to learn, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on the big responsibility!"

It's just that these anti-kings are all human beings, and they all know the dangers of being the leader of the alliance, so they shirk away one after another.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan spied out. At this time, he had already expected this alliance in his heart, and the final result must be torn apart.

If all the anti-kings are impartial and selfless at this time, then there is still a chance to defeat Qi.

It can be explained that such selfishness and selfishness exist, so how can you be competent?

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in echoing: "Everyone, in Yuanzhang's opinion, Mr. Xiang Yan is well-known in Jiangdong, and his family has lived in Jiangdong for a long time, with high morals and high prestige."

"Furthermore, Patriarch Xiang issued a call for Qi Qi, calling on the world's heroes to deal with the violent Qi."

"Why don't I push the boat along the way, why don't you choose Xiang Lao's family as the leader of the alliance and lead our coalition army?"

For a while, following Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the rest of the anti-kings immediately saw the dawn, and they couldn't help echoing and persuading them.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan didn't understand that this was because the rebellious kings wanted to use themselves as a shield to seek the greatest benefit.

It should be noted that the call to action was issued by him. If he is in the position of leader at this time, if he really defeats Qi in the future, he will still say it.

But once defeated, as the leader of the alliance, he will definitely become the enemy of the Qi army and suffer endless revenge.

Originally, Xiang Yan also wanted to refuse, but there was really no other suitable candidate, so he couldn't help thinking hard.

However, at this moment, Xiang Yu's huge body galloped out and made a decision directly for Xiang Yan.

For a while, Xiang Yu's tone was extremely confident, and he shouted; "Haha, since you all love my grandfather so much, then Yu will first promise it for my grandfather."

"Don't worry, everyone. Under the leadership of my grandfather, our coalition forces will surely win the battle, enter Jiangling, and capture Gao Qi alive."

Suddenly, following Xiang Yu's promise, it was tantamount to directly blocking Xiang Yan's refusal, and he had no choice but to bear the burden of the leader.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd gathered together to discuss the military strategy and set up an altar to become the leader of the alliance, and the rebel kings withdrew.

Back in her camp, Xiang Yan threw the helmet on the desk and said angrily, "Yu'er, why are you so reckless?"

"Without my grandfather's consent, I accepted the position of the leader without authorization. Do you know how harmful this leader is to my Xiang family?"

However, Fan Zeng, who had always opposed Xiang Yu, explained to Xiang Yu for the first time: "Actually, the young master's suggestion this time is not wrong."

"On the contrary, it is still of great benefit to the Xiang family."

Hearing this, Xiang Yan said in a stern voice, "Mr. Fan, why do you say that?"

"In the process of recommending just now, the old man observed that all the anti-kings are more or less hiding selfishness."

"During the war, how can you defeat the enemy army?"

"If the coalition forces are defeated at that time, and the old man is the leader of the coalition, plus the initiator, our Xiang family will definitely be liquidated by Supreme Gao Qi."

"Isn't that a disaster?"

"Ha ha!"

"Patriarch Xiang is worrying too much. According to what I see, this time the lord came at the right time."

"It should be noted that the Xiang family is a new Jiangdong force, and it is far from other anti-kings in all aspects."

"But if the Xiang family wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdong in a short period of time, they must not lose the necessary connections."

"Although there are great risks in being the leader, the benefits are also extremely rich!"

For a while, following Fan Zeng's analysis of every word, he also analyzed the benefits of the leader.

It has to be said that Fan Zeng is indeed a genius of the sky. It is conceivable that Xiang Yu in the original history was not self-willed, but actively adopted Fan Zeng's suggestions.

How could there be a subsequent defeat in Gaixia, Liu Bang might have died in Hongmen long ago!
After some thought, Xiang Yan finally accepted the position of leader. He decided that this time, he must coordinate the conflicts between the various forces.

Try to turn the power into one, complete the counterattack, and defeat the Qi army.

In fact, the problem facing the coalition forces today is that of coordination.

As long as the anti-kings can unite and fight against the Qi army, then the strength of the Qi army is nothing to worry about!
······
Peng Ze's alliance opened a new chapter in the ultimate ownership of Jiangnan.

In this battle, if the coalition forces win, then Qi will weaken, but once the Qi army wins.

Then, there will be no obstacles for the Qi army to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River!
It can be said that this is a battle that determines the fate of Qi.
