Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Brothers, the reason why you are called here today is mainly for the future of the brothers!" Li Yanxian looked around and waited until the surroundings became quiet before he said loudly.

"For our future?" The rebel leaders immediately discussed after hearing this.

"That's right, think about the future of the brothers! We rebels have been in northern Shaanxi for two years. Although we have defeated the Jin soldiers many times in the past two years, we have suffered a lot of damage ourselves! And we have no food, grass or weapons. With external help, it is impossible for us to gain a long-term foothold in northern Shaanxi! I have already sent someone to contact Emperor Jianyan in the south of the Yangtze River, and Emperor Jianyan decided to recruit us! From now on, we will be the subordinates of Emperor Jianyan! Jianyan The emperor has appointed me as the Xuanfu envoy of Guanshan, and brother Shifu as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu of Guanshan! In addition, all the other brothers have received rewards! From now on, we are members of the official family!" Li Yanxian said.

Li Yanxian's words came out, and the leaders of the rebel army below were in an uproar! Not only the leader of the rebel army, but also the minions of the rebel army around him are talking about it! They never thought that it would be such a big news!

In fact, in the past two years, the Thirty-Sixth Route Rebel Army in Northern Shaanxi has often been mentioned about taking refuge in the imperial court. After all, their strength is too weak, and they can only survive with the help of the imperial court!

But the leaders of the Thirty-Sixth Route Rebel Army had different opinions, so no real decision has been made!

But this time, Li Yanxian took refuge in Emperor Jianyan in the south of the Yangtze River without discussing with everyone, and also accepted the so-called "Guanshan Xuanfu envoy". I believe that many people looked at Li Yanxian with astonishment and suspicion!

"Brother Li, why don't we know about this?" Li Shifu stood up and said.

"I just made a decision too! Moreover, Emperor Jianyan's envoy has already arrived at Yan'an Mansion, and I have already met him, so I decided to join Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian said.

"Emperor Xuanwu also sent people here, why don't you want to join Emperor Xuanwu?" Li Shifu said.

"Emperor Jianyan is old! In today's troubled times, it is natural to follow Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian said.

"Although Emperor Jianyan is old, he is cowardly and incompetent! We have already received news that when the Jurchen went south, Emperor Jianyan fled to the sea, and did not dare to fight the Jurchen at all! Although Emperor Xuanwu was young, he was brave and courageous. The imperial conquest, defeated the Jurchen's tens of thousands of troops, broke the myth that the Jurchen was invincible, and recaptured Chang'an! Comparing the two, everyone knows which is stronger and weaker. How could you choose the incompetent Emperor Jianyan instead of Emperor Xuanwu? ?” Li Shifu asked.

After hearing Li Shifu's words, the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army below were also discussing, and many people were waiting for Li Yanxian to give them an answer.

"Brothers, listen to me! About the war in the south of the Yangtze River, everything is just a rumor! There are rumors that Emperor Jianyan fled to the sea, but we are in northern Shaanxi. The news is not accurate, and no one knows whether it is true or not! As for Emperor Xuanwu Yu Jia's personal conquest, this is even more a joke! The so-called Yu Jia's personal conquest is just hiding behind the army. Once the army fails, he will flee immediately! In troubled times, there are too many rumors, we can't believe the rumors! Also, Jianyan The emperor has a lot of soldiers and horses, not to mention Master Zongze, there are two million volunteers, and the rest Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Wang Yuan and others have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses! Jurchen's army of more than 100,000 soldiers went south. Their opponents were finally driven away by them, which shows how strong they are! We should rely on the stronger ones, don't you think?" Li Yanxian said.

After Li Yanxian finished speaking, there was another discussion below, and many leaders and soldiers of the rebel army nodded their heads one after another!

"Brother Li, I don't agree with this! Emperor Jianyan has a lot of soldiers and horses, but they dare not fight the Jurchen face-to-face! The Jurchen just had to retreat because their food was cut off! On the contrary, Emperor Xuanwu was truly defeated. After defeating Jurchen, his combat power is far greater than that of Emperor Jianyan!" Li Shifu said.

After Li Shifu said this, the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army below were taken aback for a moment, and then nodded again.

"The reason why Emperor Xuanwu was able to defeat Jin Bing was mainly because the main force of Guanshan went to the Central Plains, and there were not many soldiers left! Guanshan was empty, so Emperor Xuanwu was able to defeat Jurchen! If Emperor Jianyan was in Guanshan Shan, will definitely be able to defeat Guan Shan Jurchen!" Li Yanxian said.

"No matter what you say, brother, the fact I have seen is that Emperor Jianyan is not Jurchen's opponent, and Emperor Xuanwu defeated Jurchen! You take refuge in the incompetent Emperor Jianyan instead of the heroic Emperor Xuanwu, I disagree!" Li Shifu said. .

Li Yanxian frowned, he knew that Li Shifu's status in the rebel army was also very high! Of the thirty-six rebel groups in northern Shaanxi, more than ten of them belonged to Li Yanxian's direct line, and they obeyed Li Yanxian's words, but there were still more than ten of them belonged to Li Shifu's direct line! This Li Shifu was actually not from the rivers and lakes, but from a family of soldiers and generals in the Northwest! After the Jurchen invasion, this Li Shifu also pulled up a rebel army, and Li Shifu also won several victories after that, so he was supported by everyone! Even Li Yanxian had to consider Li Shifu's attitude!

"Brother, I have to do this for the sake of the Thirty-Sixth Route Rebel Army in Northern Shaanxi! After we take refuge in Emperor Jianyan, wouldn't it be good to have officials in each of them?" Li Yanxian said.

"Brother Li, if we take refuge in Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu will not treat us badly! There is another reason why I don't agree to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan!" Li Shifu said.

"What's the reason?" Li Yanxian asked.

"Emperor Xuanwu is the son of the Supreme Emperor. Before he ascended the throne, he was a righteous crown prince! It is a matter of course for him to inherit the throne and take charge of the Song Dynasty! Emperor Jianyan was just a vassal before, and he has no qualifications to become emperor! Therefore, I disagree. Take refuge in Emperor Jianyan!" Li Shifu said.

"Brother, why are you so pedantic?" Li Yanxian frowned.

"One should speak the word loyalty! I think this loyalty means being loyal to Emperor Xuanwu, not to the usurpering Emperor Jianyan!" Li Shifu said decisively.

The two of them are arguing here, and the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army below are also arguing endlessly! Some people supported the Jianyan Emperor, some people supported the Xuanwu Emperor, and there was a commotion all around for a while!

The sky was still unusually gloomy, and at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, followed by rumbling thunderbolts!

After the lightning bolt, the surrounding gradually quieted down!

"Brothers, there is another reason why I agreed to join Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian came to the center of the high platform again and said loudly.

"I don't know why?" the leaders below asked one after another.

"It's really because of the persuasion of a senior expert that I decided to join Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian said.

"I don't know which senior expert it is?" Someone suddenly asked.

"Lin Xianchang, please come up!" Li Yanxian said respectfully.

Then I saw a Taoist priest coming out of a room next to him and heading towards the high platform!

Seeing this Taoist priest, those ordinary soldiers were fine, and many of the leaders of the rebel army showed shocked expressions on their faces!

"Lin Lingsu, Immortal Master Lin! That's right, Immortal Master Lin!"

"It's really Immortal Lin! He once came to the northwest and taught my master!"

"That's right, it's him! Back then, he summoned the masters of martial arts in the Northwest to assassinate the general of Xixia! My father followed him to the Xixia military camp that day, and my father praised Immortal Lin!"

"Sure enough, it's Immortal Lin, the number one master in the world today! He is called the Immortal Immortal! That's right, it's him!"

The leaders of the rebel army stood up one after another, and at this moment they all saluted Lin Lingsu!

"This one is Lin Lingsu, Immortal Lin, the number one person in the world!" Li Yanxian said excitedly.

The soldiers of the rebel army below heard the word "Lin Lingsu", and immediately stayed there! Many people in the rebel army are related to Jianghu, how could they not have heard of this mighty name! They were stupefied at first, and then excited, they met the number one master of martial arts!

"Immortal Lin came here at the order of Emperor Jianyan. He asked us to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan. Do we agree or not?" Li Yanxian laughed loudly and said.

"Of course I agree!"

"Of course I agree!"

"Must agree!"

All of a sudden, the leaders and soldiers of the surrounding rebel army shouted loudly!

"Shifu, Immortal Lin came here personally to persuade us to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan, are you still stubborn?" Li Yanxian looked at Li Shifu again, and said.

"Emperor Jianyan is a vassal king after all. I can't rely on him and become a traitor's subordinate!" Li Shifu said.

"Emperor Jianyan belongs to the destiny, the true dragon emperor, and sooner or later the Song Dynasty will become Emperor Jianyan! If you don't take refuge in him now, who else will you take refuge in?" Lin Lingsu said.

Before Li Shifu could speak, a rebel soldier came up from below!

This soldier of the rebel army was brought by Li Shifu. This man doesn't look very old, he seems to be fifteen or sixteen years old!

At this moment he said with a smile: "Lin Xianchang was joking. King Kang's traitor is unfaithful and filial. He has no virtue and incompetence. He is not enough to become an emperor. How can the Thirty-sixth Route Rebel Army rely on him?"
