Fengji Mountain has beautiful scenery and is located in the southeast of Lujiazhuang. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After Lu Zuo and his party returned to Lujiazhuang to arrange their mother's funeral, they immediately packed their luggage and headed straight to Fengji Mountain. At this time, someone had already sent news quickly, saying that Liu Yan had made a coup and officially ascended the throne on March 1st.
The lobby of Fengjishan Village is not magnificent, but it is spacious and bright. Even though it is still Shenshi, the sunlight can still shine into the entrance of the main hall. A wolf with gray fur was lying leisurely on the ground at the door. After hearing the movement outside the door, he suddenly opened his eyes, quickly stood up and rushed out the door. The group of people outside the door were none other than Qin Fu, Lu Xiuyuan and others. The moment the gray wolf rushed towards the crowd, everyone in the group, except Huo Yan, took a step back in unison. The gray wolf rushed to Huo Quan's feet and jumped around happily. Huo Quan also laughed. He leaned over and hugged the dead gray wolf around his waist. The gray wolf was actually happy to be petted by Huo Quan.
The others were horrified to see it. Qin Fu stared at the gray wolf with a straight eyebrow and shouted angrily: "This guy, if you suddenly run out like this again next time, I will kill Bipi."
When Gray Wolf saw Qin Fu waving his hand with ill intentions, he immediately bared his teeth at him, scaring Qin Fu so much that he took two steps back.
Huo Yan said with a smile: "My mountain ghost is very understanding of human nature. The second leader should avoid provoking him less, otherwise he will turn his back on me and refuse to recognize me."
Lu Zuoye asked as he walked: "This wolf is called 'Mountain Ghost'? The name is interesting. Seeing that this wolf is strong and has quick reactions, it must be a wild wolf. When did you get it?"
"I rescued this last year when I was patrolling the backside of Fengji Mountain."
The group of people hurriedly came to the main hall and sat down in order. Lu Xiuyuan presided over the discussion, "This time Liu Yan usurps the throne. Once he has stabilized the interior of Kyoto, he will definitely take action against us. We must think of a contingency immediately. This time we heard the news and hurriedly invited the public servant to go up the mountain, just to be afraid that something unexpected would happen to you." After Lu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he asked Lu Zuo, "Zuo'er, have you thought of a good plan?"
Huo Yan rushed to speak: "In my opinion, while Liu Yan is still on his feet, we should immediately send troops and go straight to the capital."
Liu Xingyuan was also among them, shaking his head and saying: "No, in order to go straight to the capital, we must have an army with extremely strong combat capabilities. Otherwise, if we encounter a stubborn resistance somewhere, our front line will be stretched too long and we will not be able to supply supplies." , it is possible that the other party will come again to surround Wei and save Zhao."
Huo Yan snorted in disgust, "Young Master, are you saying we can't fight? I think you are a spy."
Liu Xingyuan knew that he was now living under someone else's roof, so he was not angry.
Lu Zuo saw this and was a little dissatisfied, but Huo Yan came up to the mountain later and had an upright temper, so it was not easy to reprimand him personally, so he said: "Brother Huo, Mr. Liu's parents have been destroyed by Liu Yan. Speaking of Big grudge, he hates Liu Yan more than you and I. If it hurts our friendship in the future, don’t mention it again."
In fact, Huo Yan just looked down on people with official backgrounds. Now that Liu Xingyuan was in such a situation, he suddenly felt that what he said was inappropriate, so although he was reluctant, he still expressed his apology to Liu Xingyuan. Liu Xingyuan didn't take it to heart and nodded with a smile.
Lu Zuo then continued with satisfaction: "Young Master Liu just said it right. Now we must immediately take Shanzhou as our base, and then devour all parts of Lanzhou as our rear. In this way, we can slowly move toward Kyoto."
Lu Xiuyuan said: "But as far as I know, Liu Yan did not deal with Gao Yun, An Shiqing and others when he came to the throne this time. Instead, he entrusted him with important tasks. At the moment, these two people are the only ones who know us best. Is it possible that he will Their family members were taken hostage, and they were sent to encircle and suppress them?"
Lu Zuo and An Jingruo, who was sitting next to him, looked at each other with a hint of worry on their brows. Lu Zuo thought for a moment, "Liu Yan is suspicious and must be wary. From my inference, he will not hand over military power to them easily."
Jing Jingruo said: "But after all, Liu Yan has inherited the throne. If we want to overthrow him, we have to be famous, right?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded. Just like when they usually gather in the mountains and forests to occupy the mountains and become the king, they also need to have a banner. Now that they are raising troops to overthrow the tyrant, they also need to be famous.
The eyes of Lu Xiuyuan and Lu Zuo fell on Liu Xingyuan at the same time, and everyone also looked at Liu Xingyuan.
Huo Yan also understood what everyone meant, pointed at Liu Xingyuan and said disdainfully: "Him? Do you want a young master to lead us to beat Liu Yan?"
The rest of the people still did not express their opinions. Regarding Huo Yan's sudden questioning, the originally tense atmosphere became a bit awkward. After all, the big leader and the second leader here had not spoken yet.
Lu Zuo explained calmly: "If we want to overthrow Liu Yan, we must have a good reputation, but setting up another banner to overthrow Liu Yan will definitely offend three forces. Needless to say, one is Liu Yan's force, and the second force is It comes from the people who support the Han Dynasty, and the third group is from the veterans who knew that the late emperor was in trouble but dared not speak out. If these three forces are all twisted into one, we will have no chance of winning. We will definitely have to face the first force. Yes, but we must get the support of the latter two forces in order to win, so we must support a person from the royal family named Liu in order to gain the support of more people. If we support Liu Xingyuan to inherit his father's title, and denounce Liu Yan, by making Liu Yan's crime of killing his father and killing his uncle public to the world, we can gain the support of the people and those who oppose him in the court. Moreover, this move can also alienate the trust between Liu Yan and the ministers, making him always afraid. If someone around you is being incited to rebel, this is a plan to attack him."
Jing Jingruo naturally understands the truth, but the other people around him are from reckless backgrounds. It may be too fast for them to understand or accept this truth. After all, Liu Xingyuan has not made any achievements, and everyone is not familiar with him. Suddenly such a person appears. People, everyone has to follow him in the uprising, which will definitely attract everyone's doubts and denials, so he said: "In my opinion, now we must work together, otherwise we will definitely be annihilated by Liu Yan."
Qin Hong stood at the bottom and asked: "You people are unfounded. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and has nothing to do but take care of himself, how could you think of attacking us? Besides, we are all the heroes who pacified Tibet, so you can't attack us."
Qin Fu raised his eyes and glared at his daughter, "How can you speak?"
Huo Yan held up his chest and said in support: "I think what Qin Hong said is reasonable."
Lu Zuo's face instantly turned pale at this time. Anyone who knew him well knew that he might be a little angry, but he still held back and coughed lightly.
Lu Manxi was more thoughtful than Qin Hong and knew the reason. He also wanted to excuse his junior sister, so he cupped his hands towards Liu Xingyuan and said, "We are willing to respect Mr. Liu as Prince Ning and help the people eliminate Liu Yan's accomplices."
