Thinking of this, Chen Deze helplessly slammed his fist on the table in front of him.
He knew he had no other choice.
Li Qin gave him this intelligence; this was a blatant conspiracy.
I can't wait any longer, because if I continue to wait...
If he waits until Hong Chengchou is ready to attack, then he will be completely finished.
His goal was to provoke himself and get himself to raise an army and fight Hong Chengchou as soon as possible.
His original plan was to raise an army after Li Qin went south.
It seems Li Qin is planning to take care of himself before heading south.
This was to prevent any trouble from arising in the Northwest when he went south.
Thinking of this, Chen Deze sighed again.
If it weren't for the actions of those Yang family members and generals who were blinded by greed...
He is now, at least nominally, under Li Qin's command, along with the troops from Ningxia and Yulin Town.
If only I had successfully donned that skin back then.
This will definitely reduce Li Qin's willingness to take action against him.
At the same time, Hong Chengchou would not easily send troops against him.
He has now been completely driven to the brink of despair.
Li Qin and Hong Chengchou now know that they are about to rebel.
According to this intelligence, although Hong Chengchou was prepared, his preparations were insufficient.
Now we have no choice but to take a risky gamble and raise an army immediately.
The later it gets, the more they prepare, and the more unfavorable the situation will become for them.
He only had a poor town in Gansu, while Hong Chengchou had a town in Shaanxi.
He then summoned his deputy and ordered him to gather the army.
Immediately afterwards, they raised an army.
As Chen Deze's orders spread, the Yang family members, who had been waiting impatiently in the army, immediately began to excitedly prepare to march to Shaanxi to avenge their family.
Chen Deze looked at the army that had resumed its normal operations, and at the Yang family generals who wished they could skin Hong Chengchou alive.
He knew that morale was a valuable asset.
There's absolutely no need for him to offer any encouragement.
He then immediately dispatched troops after arranging the battle plan.
The entire operation was very swift.
This is also in line with his characteristics; once a decision is made, he acts as quickly as possible.
Along with the army, countless people also went to the former officials of the Yang family in Shaanxi to win them over and encourage them to rise up in response to the call.
Immediately, many officials who remembered the Yang family's kindness also responded to the uprising.
Soon, smoke and fire filled the land of Shaanxi.
Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards lurking in Shaanxi immediately sent the intelligence to the capital by fast horse.
Li Qin looked at the intelligence report in his hand, smiled slightly, and then looked towards the Northwest.
That guy finally raised an army.
Moreover, some officials in Shaanxi who remembered the kindness shown to the Yang family also led a rebellion, and now Shaanxi is engulfed in flames of war.
Hong Chengchou must be in a terrible predicament by now, right?
Then he prepared to add fuel to the fire.
He ordered his nephew Li Xuanshang, who was in Taiyuan, to personally go to Hedong this time, and also transferred Zhou Wentong to assist him.
Meanwhile, Taiyuan was temporarily garrisoned by Liu Chenghui, with another member of the imperial clan, Li Xiuyong, assisting in the defense of Taiyuan.
This is actually a further increase in investment.
His nephew, Li Xuanshang, is now the second most important person under his name, after himself and his brother.
He has already reached Hedong, which is an extremely dangerous sign.
Lower your bottom line a little further.
He then ordered his staff, who were in the negotiations, to intensify the negotiations.
At the same time, they continued to use various means to win over the people inside.
Special attention should be paid to Zuzhilong.
Try to win him over; give him whatever treasures and beautiful women you can.
Based on his intelligence, we studied his preferences and then urgently trained him on the type of beautiful women he liked.
If he likes the kind of beautiful women who enjoy reading history books, then give him emergency training to find one.
Use every means at your disposal.
He was promised official positions and all the positions he could.
After completing all of this, Li Qin began to handle other matters.
With the outbreak of the rebellion in Gansu, all he had to do was wait.
He must have had a lot going on both inside and outside during this period.
In the inner courtyard, Jiang Qingyue was due to give birth in a few months, and the bellies of the others were also growing larger.
During this period, he found several more and worked hard every night to try to have as many children as possible.
Of course, he also didn't stop educating his own children and was working hard to nurture them.
Every day, he would select suitable tutors from among his trusted advisors, namely the two children, Li Ruwen and Li Ruwu.
Especially the eldest son, Li Ruwen, was directly transferred away from his mother's side.
They should focus on nurturing him, as the eldest son of the legitimate wife is, in this era and according to the established customs, the most deserving heir.
He's still young, so we should educate him as soon as possible.
He also carefully selected their teachers, knowing that there could be absolutely no problems with their education.
If a teacher's values are flawed, they might even lead their own children astray.
That would be a big problem.
Of course, they weren't the only two receiving education together; there were also other students accompanying them.
He selected some children of similar age from the descendants of the Liaodong generals who had come with him to accompany the two of them in their studies.
These people, when they grow up, can also inherit the influence of their parents, allowing them to read together with their own children from a young age and cultivate a bond.
