Chapter 31 A certain rebellion

After seeing off the Prime Minister of Han, Zhai Rang finally couldn't help but feel depressed and scolded him with evil voices.

Wang Ruxin couldn't help but scolded Han Xiangguo. Only Xu Shiji remained calm all the time, as if he was confident and had a solution.

"Did Dalang have found a solution?" Zhai Rang asked.

Xu Shiji made a gesture, indicating that the two of them should not be impatient, first calm down, calm down, and then told them in detail what Li Fengyun said last night.

Zhai Rang and Wang Ruxin were both surprised. Who is Li Fengyun? The news leaked by Xu Shiji was just a little bit, but he could infer a lot of inside information from it, and it was amazingly accurate. Could it be that he really had the ability to predict the future? Since he had the ability to predict the future, why was he arrested? However, these speculations were meaningless. The most urgent task was not to pursue Li Fengyun's background, but to find countermeasures to get rid of the predicament in front of him.

Zhai Rang immediately found Li Fengyun with Xu Shiji and asked for advice on countermeasures with a humble attitude.

Li Fengyun pondered for a long time and asked, "Is the death of the White Horse in the Law Department related to the Prime Minister of Korea?"

Zhai Rang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This kind of speculation is groundless and unfounded, so don't mention it again."

"What if it was the Prime Minister of Korea who framed the Justice Department?" Li Fengyun asked afterwards.

Zhai Rang still shook his head, "The purpose of the Prime Minister Han is just to use the rebellion to attract the attention of the government and Yingyang Mansion, so that he can plunder heavy troops and blame others after the looting. In this matter, it is the same for anyone to rebel, it is also possible for someone to rebel, and it is also possible for Shan Xiongxin to find a thief in Liang County to rebel, so it is impossible for the Prime Minister Han to frame someone simply for this matter, because he knew that he planned to plunder heavy troops. Once someone leaked the matter after being arrested, he would be in trouble. Not to mention plundering heavy troops, he might not even be able to protect his wealth and lives."

Then Zhai Rang also asked Li Fengyun, "Why have you always suspected that someone was killed by Prime Minister Han?"

"He wants to kill you, why?" Li Fengyun also asked back, "If he must kill you, even if you don't rebel, he will find other ways to kill you."

Zhai Rang looked solemn and said nothing for a long time. Wang Ruxin breathed heavily, obviously understood Li Fengyun's words, and was full of anxiety about this trip to Songcheng.

"I have known Han Ming's Mansion for a long time. This person is generous and generous, kind and generous, and has a good reputation..."

Before Xu Shiji could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Fengyun without hesitation. "He wants to rebel, but there are only two consequences of rebellion, either life or death. In order to survive, people like him can do whatever they want and do everything they can."

Xu Shiji was a little upset and replied without hesitation, "We are also surviving and are working hard to survive. If you have any means, take it out, even if you can do everything you can."

Li Fengyun looked at the three of them, and suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, and then said something that stunned the three of them.

"I'll rebel."

"You are going to rebel?" Xu Shiji pointed at Li Fengyun with a finger, and was extremely surprised, "You said you are going to rebel?"

Li Fengyun nodded solemnly and repeated it in a firm tone, "I'll rebel."

Zhai Rang and Wang Ruxin looked at each other, and they also found it incredible. Li Fengyun either had ulterior motives or was a complete madman. With his current situation, he naturally hid the deeper the better. However, he did the opposite, fearing that others would not know where he was hiding, and would raise the flag to rebel and "make a big splash."

"Brother, what is your purpose?" Xu Shiji couldn't wait to ask.

"Justice Just now, anyone can rebel. As long as it can attract the attention of the government and Yingyang Mansion, what is the difference between the court rebellion and someone rebelling?"

The difference is big. Zhai Rang wanted to rebel, and the Wagang people would rebel. All Zhai Rang's forces would share life and death, but the people who died in the end were not only the Wagang people and their relatives and friends, but also the local forces in the counties in Henan, including the Henan noble group and even the Shandong noble group, will be hit.

The Prime Minister of Han was too ruthless and too ungrateful. He wanted to kill thousands of people for his own efforts. But as Li Fengyun said just now, since he wanted to plunder such a large number of heavy troops, he obviously wanted to conspire to rebel. Behind him is the powerful and powerful family today, a certain faction in the Guanlong noble group. So can we speculate in this way that it is not the Prime Minister of Han who really wanted to rebel, but the big family behind him, the faction in power that "turned the clouds and rains" in Dongdu. In order to protect his own interests, the faction in Dongdu is of course ruthless and ruthless, so how could he care about the death of innocent people?

If this speculation is used, a reasonable explanation can be obtained. If the rebellion is to succeed, it must win the support of several major aristocratic groups in China and the people of Shandong, but the people of Guanlong rebelled deeply. If the people of Guanlong rebelled, the people of Shandong would inevitably take action to control the system. In the early stage of the rebellion, the people of Shandong had not yet established a stable foothold. If they were attacked by the Shandong people like storms, they would inevitably be defeated. Therefore, this plan was set up to use Zhai Rang's head to attack the Henan nobles and eliminate some opposition forces first. Especially in the Tongji Canal coastal area where the Korean Prime Minister rebelled, some Henan-born aristocratic bureaucrats must be eliminated first. This would be beneficial to the rebellion and create favorable conditions for the success of the rebellion.

The reason why Zhai Rang, Wang Ruxin and Xu Shiji are more and more afraid of the more they think about it, and the more they dare not rebel, is this. The inside story of this matter is too deep, too many secrets, and too much involvement. For example, Zhai Rang and others are just grass, mustard and ants, in the eyes of wealthy families, and are insignificant, but grass, ants, also have their own ideas and interests. Whether this big thing that can be done and whether it can bear the consequences must be considered clearly.

"It is crucial to raise the flag to oppose the plunder of heavy troops of the Korean Prime Minister, and there is no room for mistakes, so this rebellious candidate is very important." Wang Ruxin calmed down and spoke.

Regardless of whether Li Fengyun was crazy or not, he could help and die generously at this critical moment, and his righteousness still touched the Wagang people.

"The reason why the Prime Minister of Han chose Ming Gong must have been thinking and weighed for a long time. As you speculated, the death of Ming Gong's white horse was very likely to be the conspiracy of the Prime Minister of Han. Since the candidate for rebellion is so important, how could the Prime Minister of Han easily change people? You are a completely stranger to him, how could he choose you? For Ren Xia, the tycoon on both sides of Tongjiqu, you are also a stranger, so how could everyone support you after you rebel?"

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, agreeing with what Wang Ruxin said.

"Brother, if your speculation is correct, and the purpose of the Korean Prime Minister plundering heavy troops is to rebel, then your other speculation may be correct. Ming Gong is probably killed by the Korean Prime Minister." Xu Shiji shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Since the Korean Prime Minister must push Ming Gong on the road of rebellion, there must be a reason. How could he be in the face of trouble?"

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "Did you deduce the reason behind this?"

Xu Shiji hesitated for a moment, and saw that Zhai Rang and Wang Ruxin had no intention of stopping them, so he told the story.

As for the entire Central Plains and even Shandong situation, the Dongdu is the core, and the outer periphery of the Dongdu, the Great Jingji area, is equally important. The Guardian army gathered and the military strength was extremely strong, which formed a deterrent and town effect on the north and south of the Great Henan. Under this situation, if the Shandong heroes in the north and south of the Great Henan want to rebel, they will inevitably face direct threats from the military forces from the Dongdu and the Great Jingji area. Therefore, from a military perspective, if the Shandong people in the north and south of the Great Henan want to rebel, they will immediately go with the Dongdu. The military forces in the Gyeonggi region form a confrontation. It is best to first control the Grand Canal of the North and South, cut off the economic artery of the Dongdu, and then take down the Liyang Cang and obtain sufficient strategic materials. The Liyang Cang is a national warehouse, prepared for war and famine, and hoarded an astonishing number of millet and silk weapons, enjoying the reputation of "Liyang Cang and Jiuzhou Cang". The rebels armed themselves with the strategic materials of Liyang Cang and strengthened their strength in the shortest time, so that they can have hope of survival and fighting for the Central Plains.

Liyangcang is located in Dalishan near Liyang City on the north bank of the Great River. It is only a few dozen miles away from Baima. Like Baimajin and Baimacheng, they are outside the Labakou at the intersection of the three major waterways, the North-South Grand Canal and the Dahe River. From this geographical point of view, if the rebels want to achieve their goal of occupying Liyangcang, they must seize this "Labakou" area, namely Hanoi and Ji County in the north of the Great River, and Xingyang and Dong County in the south of the Great River.

Although the wealthy family behind the Korean Prime Minister is powerful, they are ultimately the nobles of Guanlong. If the power of the Guanlong people wants to extend to the Shandong region, they will inevitably encounter resistance from the Shandong people. Therefore, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot actually control this "lambou" area. Now, this wealthy family wants to rebel and "take" this area. The best way is to create a political storm, severely damage or destroy local forces in this area, and then install their own people in the government, so that the goal can be achieved without any effort.

Zhai Rang and his forces are in this trumpet area. If Zhai Rang is compared to a butterfly, then his collapse will be like a butterfly flapping its wings, and then the butterfly effect will appear quickly. A political storm will soon sweep across the entire "trumpet" area and affect the situation in Henan and even Shandong.

When Zhai Rang arrived in Songcheng, he was like being trapped in a cage and had no way out. Rebellion was death, and not rebelling was death. What was particularly terrifying was that even if he died now, the rebel who raised the flag would definitely be Zhai Rang. This was a dead end.

"This is not a dead end." Li Fengyun smiled, "Cui is coming to Songcheng, and the only one who breaks the dead end is Cui."

Zhai Rang, Wang Ruxin and Xu Shiji looked at each other but didn't understand. Cui was the leader of Shandong nobles, and it was natural to safeguard Shandong's interests. If Cui knew that the Prime Minister of Han wanted to plunder heavy troops, it would inevitably lead to a series of serious consequences and would definitely stop them. In this way, it caused great trouble to Cui. Songcheng may once again become a place for the two major aristocratic groups of Guanlong and Shandong to compete after the White Horse.

"You are wrong." Li Fengyun's words were not shocking and never stopped. "Cui will not only not stop it, but will instead fuel the fire and directly detonate the storm."
