Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chapter 637 Playing a big game of chess

Upon hearing the ridiculous news brought by Yin Yuhe, Li Tai, Du Chuke and others all showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.

You should know that Zhang Liang's wife is his second wife, and she is from the prestigious Zhaojun Li family, a super aristocratic family that is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats.

Would Zhang Liang’s wife, Mrs. Li, be interested in a man who sells pens for a living?

Du Chuke asked in disbelief, "Yin Cishi, which family did the man who sold pens for a living that you mentioned come from?"

Even people from aristocratic families have their branches in decline. To be favored by Li, the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family, she must be no ordinary person.

Yin Yuhe raised his lips and said, "He is not from a noble family, but just a poor boy from a poor family!"

"But he has a good appearance and is good at dancing, so he was favored by Li, who was alone in her empty room."

"Besides, Li is a dissolute woman by nature, and a spoiled and arrogant shrew. Even Zhang Liang loves and fears her."

It turned out that Zhang Liang's first wife was just a woman from a small family. Later, when Zhang Liang gradually became rich, he cruelly abandoned his wife and married Li, who came from a wealthy family.

With the support of the Longxi Li family, Zhang Liang's official career also went on smoothly.

Du Chuke stroked his beard excitedly and said, "The spies under the Yin Shishi's command are really powerful. They even found out such a secret matter!"

"With so many leverages on Zhang Liang in our hands, as long as we make a little plan, Zhang Liang will definitely become a great helper to the King of Wei!"

"By then, all the weapons, armor, bows and arrows in the Luoyang arsenal will be at our disposal!"

The other middle-aged men in the hall all had bright smiles on their faces.

If they could get Duke Zhang Liang of Yun over here, their chances of winning would be even greater.

"Hahaha~" Li Tai laughed excitedly with his head raised. He then said excitedly: "The king has the help of Yin Shi, just like Emperor Gaozu of Han had Zhang Zifang!"

"In my opinion, the so-called top strategist under the Crown Prince, Du He, is not even one ten-thousandth as good as Yin Cishi!"

Hearing Li Tai's praise, Yin Yuhe smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows slightly.

During this period, he also heard many rumors about Du He, and also personally experienced a series of things that Du He created that benefited the country and the people.

Such as "Pinyin", "Chinese Dictionary", "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and movable type printing.

Yin Yuhe was full of curiosity about Du He, a legendary man of the same age, and wanted to meet him and test his level.

Yin Yushan, who was sitting on the side with her head down, thought of Du He, the man whose inner thoughts she could not guess, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.

I don’t know how much Du He can guess from the letter I wrote to him.

After expressing his joy, Li Tai then asked curiously.

"Governor Yin, there are so many civil and military officials in the court, why do you pay attention to Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun?"

Hearing Li Tai's question, the eyes of other people in the hall also focused on Yin Yuhe.

In particular, several officials working in the Weizhou Governor's Office met with Yin Yuhe every day. They did not expect that Yin Yuhe had done such a big thing in secret.

Yin Yuhe smiled and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Wei, in fact, Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun, is destined to be a capable general under your command!"

"Oh?" Li Tai raised his eyebrows, then asked curiously, "Why did Governor Yin say that?"

How could he not know that Zhang Liang was destined to be his right-hand man?

Could it be that Yin Yuhe is also good at witchcraft?

Yin Yuhe explained: "From the seventh year of Zhenguan to the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Liang served as the chief secretary of the Grand Commander of Xiangzhou."

"And His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei was appointed as the governor of Xiangzhou in the tenth year of Zhenguan. When His Royal Highness stayed in Chang'an and did not take up his post, Zhang Liang was in charge of His Royal Highness's fiefdom, Xiangzhou!"

"So eight years ago, Zhang Liang was already your subject, Your Highness!"

Although Li Tai had a fiefdom very early on, and his fiefdom was a relatively wealthy county, Li Shimin always kept his beloved son by his side.

Li Tai was obsessed with becoming the crown prince and dreamed of becoming the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he had never been to his fiefdom in these years, and he didn't even have the spare energy to care about who the officials in the fiefdom were.

When Li Tai heard the news from Yin Yuhe, he laughed happily and said.

"Hahaha!"

"Governor Yin is right, Zhang Liang and I are destined to be together!"

With Zhang Liang's experience as the chief secretary of the Grand Commander in Qizhou, he had a good entry point when he sent people to lobby Zhang Liang later.

Li Tai then asked, "Governor Yin, besides Zhang Liang, are there any other civil and military officials who are destined to be with me?"

"Does Li Ji, the Duke of England, have a chance to win it?"

Thinking of General Li Ji who commanded a large army, Li Tai's chubby face drooled.

If they could win over Li Ji as well, their rebellion would have a 30% chance of success!

At that time, all the military power will be handed over to Li Ji, who will be in charge of expanding the territory for him. With the help of Yin Yuhe to handle internal affairs, the world will be at his fingertips!

Yin Yuhe shook his head and said, "It's difficult!"

Because the King of Wei bribed Zhang Junyi not to resist, Li Ji suffered heavy losses of elite troops and missed an opportunity to quickly annihilate the enemy.

Now, Duke Yingguo Li Ji must be hating the King of Wei to the core.

Li Tai said regretfully: "It is a great pity in my life that the Duke of Ying cannot be of use to me now!"

"Governor Yin, continue to send people to keep an eye on the Duke of Ying. It would be best if we can win him over."

Now the God of War Li Jing is getting old, and the most capable general is none other than Duke of Yingguo Li Ji.

Yin Yuhe nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

After Li Tai calmed down, he swept his sharp eyes over Yin Yuhe, Du Chuke and others, then clenched his fists and said.

"Everyone, let's focus all our efforts on Luozhou and try to get Zhang Liang to join us this year!"

"The sooner Zhang Liang surrenders to me, the better it will be for us!"

After hearing Li Tai's order, everyone in the hall stood up, clasped their fists and saluted towards Li Tai.

"As ordered!"

Li Tai waved his hand at them and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

"We have finalized the action plan today. Taking advantage of the Ministry of Personnel's assessment in the next few days, the action will be more effective!"

Everyone saluted Li Tai again, then slowly sat cross-legged on the cushion.

Li Tai narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Yuhe, Du Chuke and others, and suddenly shook his head with regret.

"If Fang Yiai can replace the weapons in these two months, next year when our father brings his civil and military ministers to Mount Tai for the Fengshan ceremony, it will be a good time for us to take action!"

"When the time comes, we will ambush the emperor's imperial guards and imprison him in Xiangzhou. Then I can use the emperor to control his disobedience!"

"But Fang Yiai is a loser. I gave him 3 strings of cash, but he still hasn't gotten anything done!"
