Li Shimin made a solemn oath, and the ministers of the Great Tang were invigorated. The negative impact of Yuchi Jingde's defeat was instantly eliminated.
"Minister of War Li Jing!" Li Shi Min shouted.
Li Jing quickly stepped forward and bowed.”
"Where is the Head Chief of the Underworld Extermination, Zhang Liang?" Li Shi Min asked.”
Li Jing quickly said,"I just received news that Yuchi Jing's army was defeated, so Zhang Liang stopped advancing. He is currently camping in Fan City, 200 miles away from Youzhou, waiting for His Majesty's decree!"”
"Yes!" Li Shi Min nodded his head slightly. Zhang Liang was indeed a steady commander.
"Send an order to Zhang Liang," Li Shi Min said to Li Jing,"Advance at full speed and reach Youzhou City as soon as possible. We will hold a stalemate with the Youzhou Army!"”
"This old minister obeys the decree!" Li Jing said.
"Decree the Dai Province Governor, Zhang Gongjin, to lead 50,000 Dai Province troops to assist Zhang Liang!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jing said.
Li Shi Min glanced at the generals in the hall and said,""Where is the Great General of the Right Military Guards, Cheng Zhijie?”
"Cheng Zhijie is here!" A black-faced general walked out of the crowd and answered loudly.
"Cheng Zhijie, lead the 30,000 troops of the Right Military Guards to reinforce Zhang Liang!”
Cheng Zhijie was excited and his eyes were red. He said loudly,""Cheng Zhijie receives the decree!"
He had a close relationship with Yuchi Jingde, and they were like brothers. He had to take revenge for Yuchi Jingde!
Cheng Yaojin knew that the Emperor wanted him to take revenge, so he immediately said,""Cheng Zhijie will not return to the court until Youzhou and Li Chengdao are destroyed!”
Li Shi Min nodded slightly. He believed that the three armies and hundreds of thousands of soldiers could destroy Youzhou and Li Chengdao.
Even a lion had to go all out to hunt a rabbit. Li Shimin was experienced in military affairs and naturally understood this principle.
The Great Tang's war machine was quickly activated, and the army of more than one hundred thousand soldiers split into three groups to charge toward Youzhou City.
……
The Governor's Office of Youzhou City had become Li Chengdao's temporary residence.
Luo Yi, the four leaders of Liang Mountain, and Li Chengdao were in a meeting to discuss how to defeat the enemy.
"Li Shi Min killed my parents, slaughtered my brothers, and imprisoned my grandfather!" Li Cheng Dao said coldly. I've decided to rebel!"
When Luo Yi heard this, he knelt down and said,"Li Shi Min killed his brother and imprisoned his father. The throne is not right, and the heavens cannot tolerate it. They rebelled together!
The four leaders of Liangshan were the purest of loyal dogs, and they quickly knelt on the ground. Chao Gai shouted,"No matter what Young Master decides, even if you become enemies with the world, Mount Liangshan is fearless! I have no regrets in this life!"
"Everyone, please rise. With your help, I don't have to worry about not taking revenge!”As he spoke, he walked forward and helped the five of them up one by one.
The five of them stood up and Wu Yong said,""My lord! Wu Yong thought that not only were they going to rebel, but they were also going to expose Li Shimin's crimes to the people of the Great Tang!”
"That's right!" Li Chengdao nodded.”
The black fatty, Song Jiang, suddenly knelt down again and said to Li Chengdao,"Song Jiang thinks that there are no two suns in the sky and no two masters in the earth. Li Shimin is a fake emperor, so it is better for you to ascend the throne and become the emperor.“
The rest of the people also tried to persuade Li Chengdao to ascend the throne.
Li Chengdao waved his hand and said," It's still too early to declare myself emperor. Now, I only have a corner of Youzhou. I won't be laughed at by the world if I declare myself emperor!"”
When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense and did not persuade him anymore.
Li Chengdao said to Chao Gai,"Go and call over the five of them,'Travelling Deity' Dai Zong,'Iron Holler' Le He,'Dusk on the Drum' Shi Qian,'Golden Retriever Dog' Duan Jingzhu, and 'White Sun Rat' Bai Sheng!"”
The people of Liangshan obeyed Li Chengdao's orders unconditionally. Soon, Dai Zong and the others arrived at the hall.
The few of them stepped forward and bowed. They looked at Li Chengdao passionately. Yesterday, they had all witnessed Li Chengdao's divine might descend from the heavens and his invincible demeanor. They all admired him to death and wished they could dig out their hearts for Li Chengdao.
Apart from Dai Zong, the five of them were all ranked at the bottom of Liangshan and didn't have much of a presence. Chao Gai and the others didn't understand why they were called here.
Li Chengdao smiled and said to the five of them," Dai Zong is the head of the scouts. Shi Qian, Bai Sheng, the four of you are the secret leaders of the army. I have something for the five of you to do!”
When the five of them heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. They knelt on the ground and Dai Zong said,"To be able to serve the Lord, we will not regret it even if we die!”
The other four also strongly expressed their loyalty.
Li Chengdao was very satisfied with the attitude of the five people and said,"I want you to do one thing, and that is to bring more men to every state capital of the Great Tang. Spread the news that Li Shiming killed his brother and imprisoned his father, that I killed Yuchi Jingde with my halberd, and that I annihilated five thousand soldiers of the Great Tang!”
The people present did not understand why the Anlu Commandery Prince was in such a hurry to publicize these things when the army was pressing on the border!
Could it be more important than resisting the armies of Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, and Cheng Yaojin?
His own people knew his own business. What Li Chengdao lacked the most at the moment was reputation points. With reputation points, he could seek justice. Why would he care about the three or five armies?!
