"What did you say?"
Meng Zan was startled when he heard Zhongxing Yue's words.
After all, he didn't even expect that this Mongolian military advisor would say such a thing!
proclaim oneself emperor!
rebel!
Isn’t this seeking death?
"Haha, Master Meng, are you scared?"
BOC Yue laughed.
Meng Zan smiled bitterly: "The military advisor really praised me..."
"I'm just a long history member of Youzhou. I have no royal bloodline, no aristocratic status, this, this, this..."
proclaim oneself emperor?
Just kidding!
However, Zhong Xingyue smiled faintly: "Master Chang Shi, we are all military advisors, so what can you say... Isn't Youzhou now in your hands? The newly-come-to-power King Zhao wants to be the emperor, so it's not you. A word?"
"this……"
Meng Zan's expression changed immediately.
proclaim oneself emperor……
This thing is too big!
Throughout history, there have been many people who rebelled, but there are very few who really want to be emperor! Why? Because once you become emperor, you will be the enemy of the world!
To put it simply, although Youzhou has a bad reputation now...
But at least the other feudal kings will not come to deal with them yet.
But becoming emperor is different.
I remember when Yuan Shu was so talented and had so many powerful generals under his command.
But just because you take a wrong step, you will be in doom.
To proclaim himself emperor is to challenge Long Yan's bottom line. When the time comes, Long Yan will definitely send troops to attack at any cost!
At that time, they could only choose to fight Long Yan to the end.
And it's against the entire Dragon Flame...
"Meng Changshi, if you don't even have this determination, then don't talk about forming an alliance. After all, we are also worried that one day in the future, we will be betrayed by you."
BOC Yue smiled coldly.
"This matter is too big. I have to go back and discuss it with all the officials. After all, Youzhou is not mine." Meng Zan sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, but it's best not to delay for too long. Once Long Yan raises troops to attack Mongolia, we will have no time to talk to you about forming an alliance. At that time, maybe we will turn to you Youzhou in order to survive. "Zhongxing Yue said calmly.
His words were full of threats.
Because he knows that Youzhou is actually more dangerous than them now.
"Understood, then Meng Zan will retire first. If there is any news from Youzhou, he will notify the Great Khan as soon as possible." Meng Zan cupped his hands and then retreated.
With Meng Zan here, Ironwood City can still survive.
As soon as Meng Zan left, Tiemucheng frowned.
"Military advisor, what do you mean?"
Tiemucheng was anxious. Originally, cooperation was a sure thing, but BOC Yue forced him to do so. What if he quits?
proclaim oneself emperor? Who dares to brave the world and proclaim himself emperor?
Is that really unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent, and unjust? Is it really a dead end? Will people go to a dead end just because they want to form an alliance with you?
"Don't be impatient, Khan. I know the Longyan people better than you. They are very cunning. They are different from us. Youzhou does not have the blood debt of Long Yan yet, and it is very likely that it will fall to Long Yan. If If Long Yan puts too much pressure on them and recruits them to surrender, and lets them kill us behind his back as a sign of submission to Long Yan, then we will be in a very critical situation! Khan, have you considered this issue?"
Bank of China's joyful words focus on the truth.
"Isn't this...impossible? This time they led the army 'King Qin' to rebel. Liu Zheng will definitely not let them go easily!" Tiemucheng said.
Zhongxing smiled happily and shook his head: "Khan, there is an old saying in Long Yan, which is, 'We are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other.' No matter how you say it, the Youzhou Army is also from Long Yan. They closed the door. They are a family. Will the Longyan people fight with them to the end? Moreover, the culprit is dead. The current King Zhao is just a child whose hair has not yet fully grown. The current Youzhou Talker It’s Meng Zan, there’s nothing wrong with him. If he leads his army to surrender, maybe he can get a title? If I were him, I would probably do that.”
Meng Zan believed that Zhongxing Yue would definitely fight Long Yan to the end, but Zhongxing Yue did not believe that Meng Zan would be the same as him.
After all, the cost of rebellion is too high. A smart person will never consider rebellion as his first choice when he is not on the verge of despair.
Therefore, the alliance with Mengzan cannot be rushed and must be moved forward step by step.
"But if he doesn't proclaim himself emperor, wouldn't we be alone?"
Ironwood City asked.
"Since the Great Khan said so, I would like to ask you one more question. When the Great Khan fights, do you want to fight alone, or do you want to fight with someone who is likely to betray you?"
Bank of China asked cheerfully.
BOC Yue's words completely made Tiemucheng's thinking clear.
His eyes lit up.
That's right, they will only choose to form an alliance with Youzhou if they push Youzhou to death. Otherwise, they will plant a bomb that can explode at any time next to them!
He has seen the repetitions of this Longyan man before!
"Military advisor, it's still the same question. If they don't openly rebel, what will we do?" Ironwood City asked.
"Don't worry, Khan, he won't resist."
Zhong Xingyue's eyes flashed and he said.
…
Youzhou City.
In the Changshi Mansion, all the civil servants and generals were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
proclaim oneself emperor?
Even if they had a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare to do such a rebellious thing!
Even if they rebelled back then, they found a suitable excuse... If they openly rebelled, there would be no way out.
For a time, two voices appeared in Youzhou.
The civil servants, under strong pressure, decided to surrender to the Long Yan court. After all, the main general was dead, and their accomplices would not be punished too severely.
As for the generals, most of them have one idea, which is just one word, do it!
Our loyal King Zhao for generations was killed by your Longyan court! If you don't take revenge, that would be disloyal and unjust!
and……
Today's Long Yan has always had problems in terms of ideology.
Inverted!
Once successful, they will be the founding heroes!
Lost...
Then you lose...
It’s just a bunch of people dying, I’m afraid of a hammer!
There was a quarrel between the two sides.
There are two voices coming from both sides. The most difficult thing to do now is Mengzan.
He is the representative of Youzhou's civil servants, but he does not dare to offend the generals at all. He really does not dare to make an easy decision on whether to proclaim himself emperor.
In fact, he himself still did not want to completely fall out with Long Yan. After all, he had not succeeded in occupying Beijing and had already failed half the time when the uprising occurred. In addition, now that Long Yan has Liu Zheng personally in charge, the success rate is already very slim.
For Youzhou, staying between Beijing and Mongolia was the best choice, but the cunning Zhongxing Yue rejected this idea.
Either proclaim himself emperor or surrender completely. He can only choose between these two extremes.
Among these two extremes, he personally prefers to surrender. Everyone knows that the road after becoming emperor is extremely difficult, but in that case, his life may come to an end.
After all, when King Zhao Xie Chao entered Jinghua City, he was the one who agreed. Many of his generals had already complained about this. If he proposed to surrender, the generals would think that he had colluded with the imperial court. Conspired to kill King Zhao.
Meng Zan gave a wry smile. In these troubled times, a pen cannot defeat a gun. Military generals have absolute strength, but they actually have no choice.
"Mr. Meng, is there anything else you need to think about?"
"Fuck him!"
"Wealth is found in danger!"
"Master Meng!"
At the cusp of this crisis, Meng Zan could only lead the Youzhou Army in a desperate attempt.
Meng Zan suddenly remembered Zhongxing Yue's attitude at that time. He didn't leave any room for maneuver for himself. At this time, he finally realized that he had guessed his own thoughts.
This Zhongxing Yue is not a simple person.
A traitor is a traitor...
But talent is indeed a talent.
Forget it, just go against it!
Either way, it's a certain death, but if not, there's still 10% hope.
Together with Mongolia and Tsarist Russia, coupled with the topography of Youzhou and the 200,000 Youzhou troops, even if they are not Long Yan's opponent, it should not be a problem to separate and stand on their own!
The civil servants and generals were quarreling below.
At this time, Meng Zan spoke: "Comrades, please stop arguing. The matter has come to this, and we have no choice. We Youzhou has rebelled twice, and the court will not let us go easily. Instead of waiting for others to deal with us, it is better to take the initiative Attack.”
The generals' eyes lit up.
The civil servants fell silent.
"Meng Zan, on behalf of the King of Zhao, ordered: From now on, the sixteen Youyun states will establish an independent country. The country will be named Da Zhao, the capital will be Youzhou, and the Yuan Dynasty will be changed to Kaiping!"
"Feng Li Dai is the prime minister of the left center, and Song Yi is the prime minister of the right center."
"Confess Wei Dian as the General of Zhengnan, make Cheng Mi the General of Pingnan, and make Wang Bo the General of Dingnan!"
"Meng Zan is the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces!"
"The Ministry of Public Affairs is responsible for drafting a petition to punish the thieves. When everything is ready, we will send troops to Beijing!"
"yes!"
