Chapter 88 The strategy of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, activate!
Kaishan Zhao?

Zhu Hu Siji thought the name was a bit strange at first, and then thought about it carefully, hey, wasn't Zhao Kaishan the last name!
In this way, the leader of the Restoration Army was named Zhao Kaishan.

It is said to be a native of Shandong. It is not clear which state it is, but the momentum is very strong.

I heard that there are tens of thousands of people in the Guangfu Army under his command. I don't know about other places. Anyway, Jinan Mansion has been occupied.

"Jinan Prefecture is occupied?! What about the other prefectures on East Shandong Road? What about the others?"

Tu Danjing was taken aback, grabbing the collar of the hapless little leader and roaring and asking.

The little leader was so frightened that he became incontinent.

"I don't know... I really don't know, I just got up and did it with other people. Originally... I just wanted to fish in troubled waters to get some benefits. I really didn't want to rebel, really, I really didn't dare to rebel. ,forgive me……"

He cried and begged for mercy, his whole body softened.

Tu Shanjing threw him on the ground with a loose hand, and looked at Zhuhu Siji in despair.

Zhu Hu Siji waved his hand worriedly, and ordered the little leader to be cut into eight pieces.

In the heart-piercing cry of the little leader, Shu Hu Siji, Tu Shanjing, Jiagu Asu and the others exchanged their views with worry.

They all felt the situation was very dire.

Jinan Mansion has already been occupied, relying on these people to protect themselves, but not enough to make progress, in case of encountering a large-scale Restoration Army, the situation will be dangerous.

So when Tu Shanjing's head was confused and unable to think, Shuhu Siji temporarily decided to change lanes to Dongping House.

He did not believe that the East-Shanxi Road was also occupied by the Restoration Army.

It is true that the east and west roads of Shanxi were not completely occupied by the Restoration Army, but there were still many teams under the banner of the Restoration Army.

The personal soldiers guarded Shu Hu Siji and a group of people all the way to Xucheng County, Dongping Prefecture, where they met Yelu Chenghui, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, who was in constant fear.

When they were in Xucheng, Shuhu Siji and Tu Shanjing finally learned about the specific situation in Shandong.

According to the information provided by Yelu Chenghui, they learned that Shandong East Road was basically finished.

It's not a pattern of beacon fires everywhere, but it's literally over, and it all falls into the hands of the rebels.

The evidence is that many local officials ran to the East Shandong Road, and some of them escaped to the Dongping House to be taken in by him, and then told him what happened before. He roughly summed it up and concluded that the entire East Shandong Road had almost fallen.

The rebels with the name [Guangfu Army] have a great momentum, gathering tens of thousands, galloping across the Shandong East Road, killing the official army and fighting against the households, and the local Jinren forces suffered heavy losses.

Upon hearing this, Tu Danjing and Jiagu Asu fell to the ground, and the relevant officials of Shandong East Road beside them were also stunned and wanted to die.

Shuhu Siji was not reconciled, and asked about the situation of Shanxi Road and Damingfu Road.

Damingfu Road is relatively safe, but Tai'an Prefecture on Shanxi Road has also completely fallen.

Many Tai'an officials were killed, but only a few escaped. Among them was Tai'an Governor Shi Dalei, who provided Yelu Chenghui with a lot of important information to let him know the scale of the rebellion in Shandong.

Where is this the accident of a small band of rogues?
Not to mention the fact that these rebels used the banner of "Recovery Army" and shouted the slogan "Expel Hulu and recover China".

This is clearly a well-planned, organized and commanded rebellion, a well-planned and premeditated rebellion.

This is a rebellion, a rebellion!

Shu Hu Siji suddenly realized that he completely underestimated the terrifying degree of this rebellion.

With the slogan "Expel Hulu and restore China", almost all the landowners and squires in Shandong basically rose up to respond to the rebels.

According to Yelu Chenghui's account, wherever the trumpets and slogans of the Restoration Army spread, the Han landlords and squires raised their troops to attack the cities and villages. They were very ferocious, and the forces belonging to the Jinting - Minhou Meng'an and Zhenfang Meng Ann was massively destroyed.

In a considerable part of the region, the power that Ginting relied on to maintain local rule is almost non-existent.

He tried every means to mobilize the army, and the official forces of the state capitals organized the army to launch a counterattack against the rebellious Restoration Army, but he missed the opportunity, and the traffic was cut off, and the communication between each other was very problematic. Can only fight on their own.

Once they fight each other, Ginting's strength will appear to be insufficient, and they are very passive in the face of the uprising of the powerful Han landlords and squires.

In a short period of time, many counties on the East and West Roads of Shandong were also occupied by the Restoration Army, and the resistance of Jinting's officers and troops was very limited, their aggressiveness was insufficient, and self-preservation became a problem.

Judging from the current comprehensive news, there are many chaotic troops under the banner of the Restoration Army in Bozhou, Jeju, and Tengzhou, and the momentum is huge.

As the highest military officer along the way, Yelu Chenghui can do very limited things.

So in Xucheng, in the Office of the Commander of the Army, which was rebuilt by Shu Hu Siji, Shu Hu Siji, Tu Shanjing, and Jiagu Asu looked at each other, and they could see the panic and vague despair in each other's eyes.

They wrongly estimated the number and situation of the rebels, and underestimated the strength of the rebels, which made them fall into an embarrassing and dangerous situation.

They thought the rebels would be easy to deal with. They were limited to a few states on East Shandong Road, with only two or three kittens, so they made up their minds to bribe the imperial envoys, but the current situation was obviously very dangerous.

Even if the rebellion of the Restoration Army is quelled by then, the local losses, the losses of those officials and Meng An's convicted households, can the emperor not know?

Got it, can you not punish them?
Or do you lie to the sky, make fake accounts, make fake accounts, and collude to deceive the emperor?

Although it is basically impossible for the emperor to come to Shandong for inspection in person, so as long as they manage up and down properly, it is not impossible to hide from the emperor, but the difficulty of operation can be imagined...

The thoughts in their heads are a huge mess, like a tangled ball of yarn that can't find the thread.

After a while, Tu Shanjing forcibly calmed down, and he realized that there was only one way before them - to do everything in their power to eliminate the rebels, suppress this rebellion, and regain the dominion of Shandong.

Otherwise, what awaits them is death in every sense.

Tu Shanjing has reason to believe that if the counter-insurgency operation fails, and if he is not dead, no matter how Tu Shanzhen gets Wanyanliang's favor, he will not be able to save him. Good end.

Probably Shuhu Siji and Jiagu Asu also thought of this key point, so the three of them shivered and quickly reached a consensus.

Gather all available power, attack quickly, and do everything in your power to quell the rebellion in Shandong in the shortest possible time, otherwise the late emperor... No, even the resurrection of Emperor Taizong would not be able to save them.

Yelu Chenghui looked at the three and asked a very unpleasant question.

"Call, or report it directly?"

Zhuhu Siji looked at Tu Danjing, Tu Danjing took a deep breath, and shook his head simply.

"If you fight, you may not lose. If you report, you will definitely die."

Zhu Hu Siji then knew that Tu Shan Zhen, who was behind Tu Dan Jing, would never help them out of this matter.

It would be merciful not to use them as scapegoats to keep the power of the disciple Shan.

This matter is too big, and the East Shandong Road is directly lost, and the East Shandong Road is also in jeopardy.

There is only a theoretical possibility left.

A strong desire to survive broke out at this moment.

Zhu Husiji swallowed hard and looked at Tu Shanjing and Jiagu Asu.

"Then, we are now on the same boat, advancing and retreating together, living and dying together."

"Yes."

Tu Shanjing and Jiagu Asu nodded.

Then the three looked at Yelu Chenghui together.

Yelu Chenghui swallowed, feeling that if he said no, the three of them would join hands to kill him immediately.

He lowered his head in obedience.

So the will of the temporarily established Supreme Command was unified.

The strategy of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, activate it!
