April 8th.

Jijuncheng, Weixian.

A light rider arrived from the east with dust.

The defenders of Jijun City Gate stepped forward to stop him.

"Dropping off the horse and entering the city."

The knight immediately shouted, "Emergency military information, Luo Cheng has led his troops to rebel in southern Liaoning, and has just led his army back to Donglai County. I will tell you to the Duke of Chu quickly."

"How could Duke Qi rebellion?" the defending soldiers asked in panic.

"Luo Cheng fought against Goguryeo in southern Liaoning in March, first defeating Jian'an and then taking over Beisha. However, when he attacked Shicheng, he suffered losses and was defeated. Because he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, His Majesty wanted to sue him, so Luo Cheng rebelled. They crossed the sea and attacked Donglai, and are currently heading west!"

News of Luo Cheng's rebellion spread throughout Jijun City for a time.

There are panics, and there are also those who don’t believe it.

There were hustle and bustle for a while.

At this time, Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, the prefect of Ji County, and Li Yang, who was in charge of transporting food and grass, stood up and claimed that Luo Cheng did not know the emperor's kindness, and even rebelled because he refused to be punished after his defeat.

"I, Yang Xuangan, have received the kindness of the country in the world. In this time of crisis, I have raised an army to attack the unjust officials. You all follow me to fight against the traitors!"

Yang Xuangan summoned the troops in Jijun city, and then advanced to Liyangcang on the grounds of protecting the grain and grass of Liyangcang, and sent troops to order them to send troops to meet in Liyang to jointly attack Luo Cheng. At the same time, he also issued a conscript order and a large-scale conscript.

Yang Xuangan acted quickly and arrived in Liyang in just two days.

As soon as he entered Liyang County, he quickly blocked the county town, took away all the male men in the county, and then moved into Liyang Cang City.

While blocking Liyang Cangcheng and controlling the grain, he also detained all the Jianghuai ships and crew members who transported grain from the grain dock in front of Liyang Cangcheng, as well as the ships and crew members who transported grain to Zhuo County.

He forced them to join the army.

In just a few days, Yang Xuangan already had tens of thousands of troops under his command.

Among them were the eight thousand prefecture soldiers, county soldiers and strong men brought from Ji County, as well as the large number of bandits he recruited after the last time Qinghe County suppressed bandits. He then detained a large number of crew members in Liyang County and Liyang Cang, and the strong men quickly expanded to more than 50,000.

At this time, Li Mi also brought several troops from Gaojipo, Qinghe County and Douzigang, Pingyuan County.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people reached 100,000.

Li Mi suggested that Yang Xuangan open a warehouse and release grain.

"You sent someone to pretend to come from Donglai to report the news, saying that Luo Cheng rebelled. This trick was really good, giving me a chance to gain the power to temporarily mobilize troops. Now we have enough manpower, can we openly raise the banner of raising troops?"

Li Mi thought it was not in a hurry, but Yang Xuangan couldn't wait.

Regardless of Li Mi's dissuasion, Yang Xuangan faced the 100,000 gathered government soldiers, county soldiers, surrendered bandits, Jianghuai shipmen who were controlled, local civilians and others in Liyangcang.

Yang Xuangan was very treacherous and confirmed to everyone that Luo Cheng had rebelled in Donglai County again, and also brought in the names of the two navy generals of Zhou Fashang.

"The Lord is unrighteous and stupid, regardless of the lives and death of the people in the world, and the world is in turmoil and restless, but he insists on the eastward expedition. Last year, he went to Goguryeo to the east, and 400,000 soldiers died in Liaodong, and many people died of starvation due to the transfer of food and grass. Because of the eastern expedition, countless people in the Central Plains were displaced. The emperor did not want to provide relief to the people and appease the world, but he once again expeditioned the eastward expedition. Now even Luo Cheng, who came to protect the other persons and Zhou Fashang, could not bear the burden of the eastern expedition, and they all raised troops to resist!"

"I, Yang Xuangan, can't bear to see the people of the Central Plains continue to fall into dire straits. Now I am resolutely going to raise an army to overthrow the tyrant emperor and create a new world!"

Yang Xuangan also described the bright prospects of rebellion with everyone.

The war god Luo Cheng has rebelled in Donglai, and the future Huer Zhou Fashang and other tens of thousands of navy soldiers responded. Luo Cheng's uncle Luo Yi also raised an army in Liaodong, and Luo Cheng's teacher, Henan ambassador Zhang Xutuo, responded in Henan.

"Now we raise the flag, and we follow the trend of the sky, we will surely succeed in one fell swoop."

After telling this lie, Yang Xuangan ordered the restoration of all legal officials during Emperor Wen, and the county was changed to a state, and then called himself the King of Chu, opened the King of Chu, and appointed him as the King of Chu, and was appointed as the official.

Li Mi was awarded the title of Chief Secretary and former General.

With Yuan Wu of Dongguang County, Dongguang County, he was the governor of Lizhou, Zhao Huaiyi was the governor of Weizhou, and Tang Qi, the chief clerk of Hanoi County, was the governor of Huaizhou. He also secretly recruited several of his own brothers and each gave him generals and other positions.

Even Wang Bodang was awarded the title of Left General and Governor of Cangzhou, and Wang Bo was awarded the title of Right General and Governor of Qizhou.

Yang Xuangan opened a mansion and appointed an official, and opened a warehouse to release grain.

Countless people near Liyang rushed to get rice. Everyone was carrying various baskets, buckets and jars, and white rice was released in warehouses.

Yang Xuangan was very generous to the people who came to collect rice and gave as much as they wanted. Many people could not find any rice to be filled at the moment, so they took baskets and would pack them. After filling the rice, they leaked as they walked back, but no one regretted it.

The road outside the Liyang Cang is full of lost rice and wheat, covered with all the way, allowing people to step on it.

Yang Xuangan's various propaganda made the people really think that the world was rebellious, and Yang Guang was already alone and could never come back.

So they all signed up to join the army.

Yang Xuangan's team expanded again.

"The Overlord, I thought that now occupying Youzhou in the north and cutting off Yang Guang's retreat was the best strategy. Entering Daxing west and controlling Tongguan was the middle strategy. Attacking Luoyang nearby, the victory or defeat was difficult to predict, but it was the worst strategy."

But Yang Xuangan was full of complacent at this time, and he had nearly 200,000 troops under his command, so he expanded.

Besides, he was not optimistic about the strategy of moving west to Guanzhong, and felt that the road was too far away. Moreover, he raised an army in Ji County, and his subordinates were mainly thieves from Guandong and the people of Hebei, so they asked them to leave far and seek nearness and traveled thousands of miles to Guanzhong, but they were afraid that everyone would not want to.

As for going north to Zhuo County, he didn't think it was the best strategy.

"Master, as long as we can take Luoyang in one go, everything else will be easy to say. So I think it is urgent to send troops to Luoyang first."

But Li Mi still persuaded her.

In the end, Yang Xuangan was a little impatient.

"Otherwise, I will divide 50,000 troops to you. You will lead your troops north to capture Zhuo County, and then block Linyu Pass, so that Yang Guang will not be allowed to return." This is Yang Xuangan's compromise plan. In order to appease Li Mi, he also specially appointed Li Mi as Duke of Wei, appointed Youzhou Governor, and appointed as the military position of Youyi in the provinces."

Li Mi had no choice but to ask Duke Chu to be careful of Luo Cheng. Even if I attack Zhuo County and block Linyu Pass, I have to be careful of Luo Cheng returning across the sea."

"Then send Wang Bodang and Wang Bo to lead 50,000 people across the river to attack Qi County. As long as you capture Qi County, you can block Luo Cheng's way to westward."

Li Mi walked out of the tent and sighed a few times.
