Chapter 379: The Frightened Pu Shangong
The Prime Minister of Han came. On the banks of Tongji Canal, he not only saw Li Fengyun, but also Li Mi. Although he knew that Li Mi had secretly lurked by Li Fengyun as Liu Zhiyuan as his identity to make profits for Yang Xuangan in the crisis, after the outbreak of the Tongji Canal crisis, he saw Li Mi again by Li Fengyun, and Li Mi was still running for Yang Xuangan, still the pseudonym Liu Zhiyuan. His feelings were very complicated, and he even had a deep fear. He had a clearer and intuitive understanding of Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, the powerful people standing at the top of power, and unknowingly, he had greater confidence in the success of this mutiny.
Regarding Li Fengyun, the mentality of the Prime Minister of Han can be said to be mixed with envy, jealousy and hatred. Thinking back to the beginning, two years ago, Li Fengyun was still a death row thief wanted by the government to flee everywhere. If it weren't for the help of the Prime Minister of Han, Li Fengyun would not have been able to raise the flag in Mangdang Mountain, nor would he have the strong strength to command the 200,000 soldiers of the Rebel Alliance now. But two years later, things have turned around. Today, the Korean Prime Minister raised the flag and helped him. The Korean Prime Minister would develop and grow under the protection of Li Fengyun for some time in the future.
Li Fengyun stood on the standpoint of the strong and spoke beautifully. The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. However, Li Mi and the Prime Minister of South Korea discovered a key detail. Li Fengyun never gave the promise they needed. Although Li Fengyun solemnly stated that he would try his best to maintain equal cooperation between the two sides, in special circumstances, will Li Fengyun take advantage of the situation? Will he take the blame? Will he swallow the Prime Minister of South Korea in one bite?
Li Fengyun spared no effort to promote the Korean Prime Minister to raise the flag, but in the face of the situation in Tongji Canal that deteriorated suddenly, there was no choice. It was inevitable that the sooner the better. However, there was a premise that his flag-raising must be beneficial to Yang Xuangan and the upcoming mutiny, that is, it must be in line with the interests of Yang Xuangan and his allies. Therefore, after specifically understanding the current situation and the purpose of Li Fengyun deliberately inspiring the Tongji Canal crisis, the Korean Prime Minister fell silent and did not immediately take out the decision to raise the flag and revolt. Li Fengyun knew very well that the Korean Prime Minister did not trust him, and whether he could persuade the Korean Prime Minister was the one who played a decisive role, so he immediately found an excuse to leave and let the Korean Prime Minister and Li Mi talk in private.
The Prime Minister of Han is far from Yang Xuangan's "core circle". For a long time, he was just a marginal figure and a "chess piece" that could play a role at a critical moment. Now is the critical moment, and it is the time when the Prime Minister of Han is playing his role. Therefore, Yang Xuangan summoned him to Li Yang to give him the most trust. While shouldering the heavy responsibility, the Prime Minister of Han also learned a lot of secrets. Among these secrets, there was no information about Li Fengyun and Li Fengyun participating in this mutiny, but reality told him that Li Fengyun and the 200,000 soldiers of the Rebel Alliance will not only participate in this mutiny, but also one of the important forces in this mutiny. Therefore, Han Prime Minister was confused. Is it because Yang Xuangan did not trust him and did not tell him this secret, or was there another secret?
Han Xiangguo told Li Mi about his confusion and sought answers.
At this point, Li Mi had to make his own decisions and selectively informed the relevant secrets to the Prime Minister Han without Yang Xuangan's permission. So another heavyweight in this mutiny "appeared" and was the former central chief general, the general of the Forward Palace, and Li Zixiong, the Duke of Jianchang who enjoyed a high reputation in both military and political circles.
The Prime Minister Han was very shocked. In his opinion, Li Zixiong was a powerful local noble in Guanlong. His participation means that among the initiators and supporters of this mutiny, there were not only the Heluo noble group headed by Yang Xuangan, but also some of the local nobles in Guanlong. If this is true, the chances of winning this mutiny will be greater.
"Li Fengyun is Li Zixiong's person." Li Mi had no intention of revealing more and more detailed details, in a nutshell, concise and concise.
The Prime Minister of Han immediately made a wrong inference, "Since Li Fengyun is from Guanlong, how could the Shandong generals in the Rebel Alliance be willing to bow to him?"
Li Mi was a little annoyed. You are just a chess piece. Just be obedient. If you ask you to rebel, you will rebel, and if you charge and sacrifice yourself to death. That's all. Do you have to know so much? What can you do after you know? What problems can you solve with your strength?
However, the Prime Minister of Han was still unsatisfied and asked again, "It is said that Li Zixiong was a member of the King of Qi. He was demoted because of the King of Qi's morality. This is why it is said that the King of Qi was promoted to the emperor and respect the enemy. If it is said that the King of Qi was behind this mutiny, is there the figure of the King of Qi behind this mutiny? Or, the King of Qi would also participate in this mutiny?"
Li Mi sighed in disgust.
If the Holy Lord did not change the rules of the inheritance of the imperial unity after the defeat in the first Eastern Expedition and deliberately launched a new round of the imperial unity dispute, the King of Qi was indeed the only best "big flag" in this mutiny, and the chance of victory of the mutiny was indeed very high. However, the Holy Lord was wise after all, and one light move to resolve the clearly visible crisis invisible, directly pushing the mutiny and other mutinies into a passive dilemma. Now Yang Xuangan's biggest difficulty is that there is no political "big flag".
From the words of Han Prime Minister, we can see that all those who participated in the mutiny actually knew that if they wanted to succeed, they must first have a political "flag". This is common sense. Mutiny must occupy the moral "command heights", otherwise they will inevitably lose their political advantages. The key factor that determines the success of the mutiny is not military victory, but political victory, which is also common sense. Common sense that Han Prime Minister knows, how can Yang Xuangan and Li Mi not know?
Now Li Mi can't answer the Prime Minister Han, so he can only make ambiguous words. As for how to understand, it is the personal matter of Prime Minister Han.
"I don't know if the King of Qi participated in this mutiny." Li Mi said seriously, "so far, I have not received any news that the King of Qi may participate in this mutiny."
The Prime Minister Han understood and no longer continued to get involved in this sensitive topic. It is better not to speculate on such high-level decisions, so as not to cause trouble. Besides, he cannot mix such political matters, and it is better not to know than to know. The reason why he asked was also out of curiosity.
Next, the Prime Minister of Han asked the key point. Li Fengyun had brought the alliance army and he wanted to raise the flag to start a business. Two rebel teams holding high the banner of righteousness gathered in Tongji Canal. There were at least hundreds of thousands of people in name, and the momentum was amazing, enough to join Yang Xuangan to raise troops in Liyang. So what is the specific attack deployment after the mutiny broke out? Li Fengyun and his mission were to restrain the Dongdu thieves and suppress the thieves in Tongji Canal, right?
Li Mi's expression was even more ugly because he had no answer at all, and he could not answer Korean Prime Minister.
The problem is serious if the Korean Prime Minister cannot be answered. The Korean Prime Minister raised the flag and rebelled, and needed to win the support of the large number of local hopes on both sides of the Tongji Canal. The rural clan armed forces controlled by these local hopes need to be helped by the little brothers under his command. What big things can be done by relying solely on the gangs of his subordinates who fought against the house and robbed people and robbed people? Although the Korean Prime Minister was loyal to Yang Xuangan, some local hopes followed Yang Xuangan, but this does not mean that the local hopes on both sides of the Tongji Canal support Yang Xuangan. Therefore, if the Korean Prime Minister wanted to grow rapidly after raising the flag, he still needed to find ways to persuade, win over and instigate more local hopes to rebel with him. However, the reality is that Yang Xuangan has not launched a mutiny, and all the forces that are vassals and stakes with Yang Xuangan have not seen the "facts", they have not seen the "sword" hanging on their heads, and they have not yet raised the flag and have not yet to rebel.
In this case, the Prime Minister of South Korea must provide conclusive evidence to prove that Yang Xuangan is indeed going to launch a mutiny, and to come up with a viable mutiny plan to prove that the prospects of the mutiny are optimistic. Otherwise, if you speak verbally and speak vainly, you will not convince others at all, and will instead arouse others' suspicion and opposition. In this way, he will be passive. Not to mention winning the support of a large number of local hopes, I am afraid that even 100,000 people will not be recruited in the end.
The Han Prime Minister's uprising team could not form a scale, and could not compete with Li Fengyun, and could not take the initiative in cooperation with Li Fengyun, and of course, it would not be able to effectively control and influence the development of the situation in Tongji Canal and even the Dongdu. On the contrary, Li Fengyun took the initiative, not only grasped the life and death of the Korean Prime Minister, but also firmly controlled the development of the situation in Tongji Canal and even the Dongdu. The result was that Li Fengyun could control this mutiny, which forced Yang Xuangan and other mutinymen to be "led by his nose" due to changes in the situation.
The consequences of losing control of the mutiny are terrible, especially behind Li Fengyun, there is a huge political force. If this mutiny eventually becomes a tool for this political force to seize political interests, then Yang Xuangan and his allies, as well as some conservative forces dominated by the Heluo aristocratic group, will become fish under the chopping board and be slaughtered, which would be too sad.
The more Li Mi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he remained silent for a long time.
The Prime Minister of Han was a little anxious and urged, "Pushan Gong, something happened hastily. Someone caught off guard and had to raise the flag immediately. However, many preparations for raising the flag were not completed. Someone was in a difficult situation. Now the only way is to convince more people in the shortest time, but what should I use to convince people?"
Li Mi thought of Li Fengyun's analysis and deduction of the three strategies of upper, middle and lower mutiny he had planned. Now it seems that the reason why Li Fengyun was determined to attack Dongdu was obviously that the situation in Tongji Canal would deteriorate to the extreme under the deliberate promotion of the rebel army. Therefore, Dong had to do his best to suppress the rebellion and suppress the bandits to ensure the smooth flow of channels. When the main forces of the Dongdu garrison army were attracted to the battlefield of Tongji Canal, it would definitely be beneficial to Yang Xuangan launch a mutiny and help Yang Xuangan capture Dongdu with a thunderous momentum.
Li Mi sighed secretly and had to admit that Li Fengyun was the first to become a senior. If Li Fengyun actually manipulated the trend of this mutiny, would it be a good or a bad thing for Yang Xuangan and the conservative forces with him as the core?
