Huang Mingyuan's attack on Hebei has become a force sweeping the world. Dou Kang, who has been staying in Chang'an to plan the uprising, finally couldn't sit still. Now the world is in chaos, heroes from all over are rising, but Huang Mingyuan occupies Hebei, overlooking the Central Plains, and leads the way. If Li Yuan stays in Taiyuan and waits until Huang Mingyuan pacifies Henan, Li Yuan will successfully enter Guanzhong and get the support of the Guanlong family, and it will be difficult to fight against him.
So Dou Kang personally came to Taiyuan to persuade Li Yuan to raise an army.
Seeing Li Yuan, Dou Kang said: "The world is in chaos, and thieves are gathering. Taiyuan, where Shu De is, has become the only stable place left in the storm. Where to go now, Shu De should make plans early."
After hearing this, Li Yuan was silent for a long time and said: "The world is in chaos, and it cannot be settled without a high and brilliant talent. I'm afraid Yuan doesn't have such a talent."
Dou Kang disagreed.
"Huang Mingyuan is a child of Huangkou, but Shu De is not good. Today, the Lord went south to patrol the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Li Mi surrounded and forced the eastern capital, and there were almost tens of thousands of thieves. At this time, God drove him and used it to take it. The people of Taiyuan are all fleeing from thieves and entering the city. Once they are collected, they can gain 100,000 men. However, Shu De¡¯s army has tens of thousands more. No one dares to disobey his words! Taking advantage of this opportunity, he enters the pass and gives the order. In the world, it will only take half a year for the emperor¡¯s career to be completed.¡±
Li Yuan stopped talking after hearing this.
"It is true that Dou Kang said it well, but some things cannot be decided by just talking. If he raises an army, what will happen to Huang Mingyuan in Hebei? Huang Mingyuan has hundreds of thousands of troops. Who can match him?
"Yuan is originally a mediocre person, and he may be embarrassed by his big responsibilities."
Dou Kang felt that he had said it clearly, so when Li Yuan refused, he said: "How can Shude despise himself? I am not here alone, but on behalf of the Dukes of Guanlong. Shude comes from Guanlong." Long, if the world is in chaos, the only one who can help Shude is Guanlong. Otherwise, would Shude be willing to give up the army and his current power and become a common man?"
Dou Kang¡¯s words made Li Yuan a little tempted.
"But Li Yuan has been keeping a low profile for so many years, so it's not like Dou Kang can persuade him with just a few words. And even if you rebel, you must have everything ready and ready, so that you will not be ignored by Dou Kang.
"Daosheng's words may make sense, but Li Yuan is too cowardly to risk his life and fortune for a false idea. This land of Taiyuan, no matter how vast it is, is still just a small place compared to the rest of the world. . Expecting tens of thousands of people to rebel is tantamount to wishful thinking. As for the other families, the Li family has done this life-threatening thing, so how can others support it. "
Dou Kang hurriedly said: "What kind of support does Shude need? We have food and troops. We have it all in Guanzhong."
"What if you are asked to accompany my Li family to behead their heads in the Luoyang market?"
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he stared at Dou Kang.
"this!"
Dou Kang was a little speechless. It was okay to help Li Yuan rebel, but if he was tied to the Li family to rebel together, he would have to think twice. At least before Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, they would not openly support Li Yuan.
In fact, it is not impossible for each family to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in Guanzhong. If they go all out, the momentum they set off will definitely be greater than Li Yuan's rebellion. But as Li Yuan said, once the rebellion is defeated and the whole family is wiped out, who dares to gamble with the emperor?
Dou Kang could not give Li Yuan a promise, so no matter what Dou Kang said, Li Yuan did not nod in the end.
Dou Kang was in a dilemma.
He came here with great ambition. He felt that if he supported Li Yuan on behalf of the Guanlong family, Li Yuan would definitely agree with him. When Li Yuan leads his army into Guanzhong, the Guanlong family from all over the country will join forces, and the country will be able to change its color. But now it seems that Li Yuan does not have the courage and determination at all, and all this is just wishful thinking on his part.
But the Guanlong family also has no suitable candidates to support.
Rebellion relies not only on influence, but the most important thing is the army. Only when Li Yuan has enough troops can he attract people to follow him.
If he had no choice, Dou Kang would not choose Li Yuan.
In fact, Dou Kang looked down on Li Yuan. After all, Li Yuan had a weak temper and soft ears, so he was not a wise king. But also because of this, they hope to restore Guanlong's prosperity by supporting Li Yuan. After all, Li Yuan is not as mean and ungrateful as his uncle Yang Jian.
Dou Kang reluctantly left Li Yuan¡¯s house and went to see Liu Wenjing.
Liu Wenjing was a martial artist from Jingzhao, and his grandfather Liu Yiyong was the governor of Shizhou in the Sui Dynasty. Although his family status is not high, he is married to many Guanlong families. His sister is Li Mi's wife.
Liu Wenjing¡¯s father Liu Shao died in battle in his early years, so Liu Wenjing was awarded the title of Third Division of Yitong, and later served as the Order of Jinyang. Later, due to Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Li Mi participated in it, and he was implicated and imprisoned. Later, he was rescued by Dou Kang and became Dou Kang's counselor.It was his strategy to contact the Turks to ambush Yang Guang.
Seeing Liu Wenjing, Dou Kang mentioned Li Yuan's refusal to raise troops.
Liu Wenjing then said: "Li Shude is so afraid of Huang Mingyuan that he doesn't even want to do it even if he gets it."
Dou Kang said angrily: "Li Shude is really useless. Huang Mingyuan is a despicable person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. What should we fear?"
Liu Wenjing looked at Dou Kang but said nothing. Dou Kang was extremely disgusted with Huang Mingyuan, and his words were naturally subjective, but there was no need for him to argue about how terrible Huang Mingyuan was.
Dou Kang was verbally arrogant for a while, but it was boring, and then he said, "If Li Yuan can't afford the troops, he will be very passive towards us."
Of course, the Guanlong family can choose another person, but there is no way it would be so suitable. Moreover, Huang Mingyuan's momentum was so fast that they couldn't start over again and rearrange their layout.
Liu Wenjing said: "Li Shude is cautious and does not want to rashly raise troops. It is normal. After all, Mr. Dou came to talk to him on behalf of Guan Long. Li Shude was wary, fearing that he would become Guan Long's chess piece, and he would not stand up to Mr. Dou.
In this case, external force should be used to break it.
I have been in Jinyang for many days and found that there are three people whom Li Yuan trusts the most. One is his eldest son Li Jiancheng, one is his good friend Xiahou Duan, and the other is his confidant Jinyang Palace Supervisor Pei Ji. If we can explain these three people, Li Yuan will be much more confident about causing trouble. If it really doesn't work, if we hold Li Yuan hostage and start a rebellion, the whole thing will be done by then, and Li Yuan will have no choice but to go to the dark side. However, the consequences will be too great, and we can't do it unless it is absolutely necessary. "
When Dou Kang heard this, he felt a little moved.
"Would Li Jiancheng, Xiahou Duan and Pei Ji be willing to persuade Li Yuan to raise an army?"
"I heard that Li Jiancheng was already in his twenties, but he did not serve as an official, and only served as a staff member beside his father. In private, he devoted himself to serving as a corporal, spreading wealth, making friends, and gathering people's hearts. Whether it was under Li Yuan's instructions or not, it shows that Li Jiancheng had no ambition. Small.
As for Xiahou Duan, he is from the south and has a reputation for being disobedient, so it can be said easily.
As for Pei Ji, I have always been on good terms with him. He is greedy for money and lustful, so if I lure him with money and silk, I will definitely be able to seduce him. "
Dou Kang followed it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
