On the first day of the fifth month, Li Min, the prefect of Shanfu County, Jiyin County, and Lu County, stationed his horse on the bank of the Bian River, and he was staggering.

The southern part of the Bian River is the Liang County area. It is about 200 miles away from the border of Lu County. It is not long, but it spans Jiyin County. As the head of a county, leaving the administrative region under its jurisdiction without the consent of the Dongdu is considered illegal. Taking the army into another administrative region is equivalent to rebellion. Therefore, Li Min is in a complicated mood now. But he has no choice. He has lived for decades, experienced too much, and has long seen through the world. In fact, since his father confronted the radical reform forces head-on, he and his family have been prepared to "break to pieces". Fortunately, the Holy Lord "opened the Internet" and did not kill them all. However, people are in the world and cannot help themselves. If you want to "wash your hands in the golden basin", they will not let you wash them. What can you do? So he and his father Li Zixiong have to go on the road of no return.

The fate of the King of Qi has long been destined, and his political conservative stance ruined his future. How could a saint lord who was determined to reform personally bury his career that he had fought for for his whole life? Therefore, the King of Qi is destined to not inherit the imperial throne, but after the death of Prince Yuande, he was the only legitimate prince, and this identity was destined to become a victim of the imperial throne dispute. If he does not die, who can legally inherit the imperial throne?

The fate of the King of Qi was destined. How could Li Zixiong and Li Min and his son who were "satisfied with each other" with the King of Qi, escape the cage of fate? So Li Zixiong and his son were determined to save themselves and were determined to overthrow the Holy Lord and overthrow the reform with force. As long as the fate of the King of Qi was changed, their fate would also change. This is why Li Zixiong knew that he was in danger of returning to Donglai, but he was still determined to die. This is why Li Min knew that he could lead his army across the border without hesitation and pursued death without hesitation. No choice is actually a choice.

The upcoming Dongdu mutiny is an excellent opportunity for the King of Qi to change his destiny, but what is incredible is that this plan actually comes from a thief, from Baihai Li Fengyun. This is a secret, and few people know, but Li Min is one of the insiders. His news comes from his father Li Zixiong. When Li Zixiong faces Li Min's doubts, he only explained in one sentence. He knew all the secrets of Li Fengyun. This is enough, which is enough to show that Baihai Li Fengyun is not fighting alone, but represents a huge political force fighting. This is the reason why the King of Qi and Li Fengyun form an alliance. What the King of Qi needs is not Li Fengyun, but the support of the political force behind Li Fengyun, which is the key.

However, what King Qi needs is support, not for others to use. He wants to be a chess player who controls everything, rather than a chess piece that can be slaughtered by others. Although his current situation is very passive and suppressed everywhere, he still has a strong impulse to dominate the world in his heart. He wants to control others instead of letting others use him. So he couldn't help but "take action" at the critical moment when he should be on the sidelines and wait for an opportunity to act.

Li Min knew that the "take-up" of King Qi at this moment will inevitably change the situation in Tongji Canal and even the Dongdu, affect Li Fengyun's overall layout, and also affect Li Yang's preparation for mutiny. This is a "stinky chess", but Wei Fusi did not dissuade him, and Dong Chun also remained silent. It is obvious that King Qi's "stinky chess" has profound meanings. So what is the real intention of King Qi?

Li Min kept thinking and looking for the answer. It was not until the army approached the Bian River that he suddenly realized that in order to ensure his own safety and to make profits in the mutiny, the King of Qi must make Yang Xuangan rebel with Xijing into enemies. If he wants Yang Xuangan to break up completely, the best way is to force Yang Xuangan to mutiny in advance, so that Yang Xuangan has been passive since the beginning of the mutiny, so that Xijing cannot see that Yang Xuangan has hope of winning. This is true. If Xijing and Yang Xuangan join forces, the final result of this mutiny will be hard to say.

Li Min hesitated. From his position, he certainly supported Yang Xuangan's mutiny, hoping that Yang Xuangan could win the success of the mutiny. When Yang Xuangan succeeded, the fate of their father and son changed. Even if the King of Qi still could not escape the shackles of fate, their father and son could survive from death. If Yang Xuangan wanted to win the success of the mutiny, he would first establish many advantages in politics and military, which would take time, so a mutiny must be launched in July. At that time, both expeditionary troops from both sides of the water and land had arrived in Pyongyang. If they wanted to withdraw back to Liaodong and return to Dongdu, it would take at least three or four months. With such a long time to buffer, Yang Xuangan could do a lot of things. Take a step back, even if the mutiny failed in the end, if Yang Xuangan could persist for a longer time and persevere until next year, and fight with the Holy Lord, the King of Qi would be able to gain more benefits from this mutiny, which would be beneficial to the father and son.

However, Li Min knew that Li Fengyun's entire plan for the capital was based on the idea that Yang Xuangan would lose and both the Holy Lord. However, the trust between King Qi and Li Fengyun was limited after all. King Qi was worried that he would be plotted. For the sake of safety, letting Yang Xuangan launch a mutiny of no loss or loss is the best way to make him invincible. But the problem is that King Qi doesn't care how much profit he makes for his own safety. What about Li Fengyun? What do Li Fengyun thinks? King Qi is safe, is Li Fengyun dangerous? If Li Fengyun is in danger, how can this fierce thief general let King Qi destroy his plan? Li Fengyun was angry and would draw his sword out of the sheath and fight back. At that time, Li Min, who followed the alliance to chase him, would be worried about his life.

Li Min's command could not be defeated, and his soldiers were not very morale and had no desire to defeat the thieves and make contributions.

The Lu County official army is well-known for the white-haired thief, and has witnessed the fact that the Rebel Alliance has grown rapidly in a short period of time. However, their own strength has always stagnated due to various reasons, and they have become weaker than the Rebel Alliance. According to this trend, Lu County will sooner or later become the territory of the Rebel Alliance. The fate of the Lu County official army is worrying, but the ambition of the Rebel Alliance has expanded with its strength. They look down on Lu County and decisively abandoned Mengshan and went to the Central Plains. This is a great thing for Lu County. They sent away a group of plague gods without any effort, and can live a peaceful life from then on.

However, the newly appointed prefect of Lu County did not understand the suffering of the Lu County official army. For his fame and fortune, he ignored the life and death of the Lu County official army, and ordered the soldiers to follow the alliance of the rebels and chase them, and crossed the border to chase them. Judging from his posture, it was a very swearing to not give up until he cut off the head of the white-haired thief. The Lu County official army was very resentful, and they knew the power of the white-haired thief. It was an undefeated legend, a demon who killed people like a dog. In the past, Duan Wencao was defeated by him. Later, Liang Dezhong of Xuzhou was also defeated, and Zhang Xutuo was defeated not long ago. Can you beat such a thief? You pursued you so relentlessly and went deep into the army, which was purely seeking death. You would die if you died, but it would be wrong to take us to die together, so the upper and lower parts were separated and the morale of the army was disintegrated.

Niu Jinda appeared in Li Min's sight. The commander of the army looked cold and hurried, and he walked in a hurry. There was obviously an emergency military report. Li Min's irritable and confused mood eased with Niu Jinda's appearance.

Li Min admired Niu Jinda very much. During this period, he had a lot of war. He was not familiar with the place and had to rely on the local bureaucrats of Lu County. However, the local power of Lu County was too strong. In addition, the situation in Lu County was bad, and local aristocratic bureaucrats did everything to protect their own interests, which led to Li Min being controlled everywhere and being very passive. Fortunately, Duan Wencao left when he left, he handed over the army completely to his old subordinate Niu Jinda. Niu Jinda knew advance and retreat and knew gains and losses, and gave Li Min firm support at the critical moment, which allowed Li Min to successfully help the King of Qi control most of Qilu under the unfavorable situation of not having a stable foothold. However, Niu Jinda was a native of Qilu after all, and he supported Li Min, purely to take into account the overall interests of Qilu people. Once Li Min's decision harmed the interests of Qilu people, Niu Jinda would not actively cooperate.

Niu Jinda strongly opposed crossing the border to suppress the bandits, but his arm could not twist his thighs. Li Min, the prefect who had the military and political power of Lu County, said the same thing. In order to bring the army to the Tongjiqu battlefield, Li Min also deliberately concealed the truth and deceived them by any means. So Niu Jinda, some officers Zhu Yingyang, and the leader of the Zhuxiang Tuanzong arrived at the Bian River shore in doubt.

"Empress, the situation in Liang County has deteriorated and thieves have flocked to it. The situation is very unfavorable to me." Niu Jinda came up and reported his worries, his tone was anxious and anxious.

Li Min didn't say anything. Li Fengyun led a huge team to attack Liang County and plunder Tongji Canal. The situation was of course bad, but what did it mean that the thieves flocked to the sky? Could it be that there were thieves rebels in Liang County?

"According to the scouts' investigation, a few days ago, the Han Prime Minister of Liang County gathered in Songcheng to rebel, and responded to it..."

Li Min didn't think so at first, but when he heard the Korean Prime Minister gathering crowds to rebel, his face changed immediately. He had heard of the Korean Prime Minister and knew that it was an important "chess piece" deployed by Yang Xuangan on both sides of the Tongji Canal. What he didn't expect was that this "chess piece" was used so early. Is this mutiny good or bad? Why did Yang Xuangan use this "chess piece" in advance? Or was this "chess piece" "activated" by Li Fengyun in advance?

Li Min shook his hand at Niu Jinda and interrupted him, "Have you ever found out about Songcheng?"

Niu Jinda shook his head and said worriedly, "There is no news for the time being, I guess there is a lot of luck."

"If Songcheng is lost, the army will be shaken. Several cities along the canal will inevitably be in danger. If they are not guaranteed every day, the Tongji canal will be cut off." Li Min frowned and took the initiative to ask, "Under the current situation, should we cross the river immediately and support Songcheng quickly, or should we wait for the Pengcheng army here, and cross the river together after meeting them?"

Niu Jinda replied without thinking, "I will not cross the river for the time being. The most urgent task is to send scouts to the front line of Tongji Canal to inquire. Don't go deep alone."
