Chapter 183 - Leaders' Meeting
"Brothers, the reason we're gathered here today is to consider the future of our fellow brothers!" Li Yanxian looked around at his surroundings, waiting for the surroundings to quiet down before he spoke out loud.
"For our future?" When the chieftain of the allied army heard this, they immediately started discussing.
"That's right, to consider the future of our brothers! We, the allied armies, have already stayed in the Shaanxi for two years. Although we have defeated the Jin Army many times, we have also suffered quite a bit of injuries! Furthermore, without food and weapons, without help from the outside, it is impossible for us to stay in the Shaanxi for long periods of time! I have already sent people to contact the Emperor Jianyan in Jiangnan to greet us! From now on, we are the subordinates of the Emperor Jianyan! Emperor Jianyan has already bestowed me the title of Guan Shan's envoy. In addition, all the other brothers will receive rewards! "From now on, we are the Shangguan Family's people!" Li Yanxian said.
When Li Yanxian's words came out, the chieftain of the allied army s below were in an uproar! Not only chieftain of the allied army, even the surrounding loyal subordinates were also discussing! They never thought that it would be such a huge piece of news!
In fact, in the past two years, there had been many people from the Allied Army of the Shaanxi's 36 lines who had mentioned about joining the imperial government. After all, their strength was too weak and they could only survive with the help of the imperial government.
However, the thirty-six chieftain of the allied army had different opinions, and thus, they had never truly made a decision!
But this time, Li Yanxian had defected to the Emperor Jianyan in Jiangnan without even discussing about it with the rest, and even accepted the position of "Guan Shan's envoy". All of the chieftain of the allied army s and soldiers found it hard to believe, and many people looked at Li Yanxian with shock and suspicion!
"Big Brother Li, why didn't we know about this?" Li Shifu stood up and said.
"I just made a decision too! Furthermore, the messenger of the Emperor Jianyan has already arrived at the Yan'an Prefecture, and I had already met him, so I decided to rely on him! " Li Yanxian said.
"The Emperor Xuanwu has also sent people over, why are you not willing to rely on the Emperor Xuanwu?" Li Shifu said.
"Emperor Jianyan is older! In this chaotic world, we naturally have to follow the Emperor Jianyan! " Li Yanxian said.
"Although the Emperor Jianyan is older, he is cowardly and useless! We've already heard the news, the Evil Woman went south, and the Emperor Jianyan ran into the ocean, not daring to fight against the Evil Woman! Although the Emperor Xuanwu was young, he was valiant and decisive. He led the army and defeated the tens of thousands of women in the army. When the two are compared, everyone knows who is stronger and who is weaker, so how can you choose the useless Emperor Jianyan and give up on the Emperor Xuanwu? " Li Shifu asked.
After hearing Li Shifu's words, the chieftain of the allied army and the soldiers started to discuss among themselves. Many of them were waiting for Li Yanxian to give them an answer.
"Brothers, listen to me!" The war in Jiangnan was just a rumor! Outside, there are rumors saying that the Emperor Jianyan fled to the ocean, but we are in the Shaanxi, so the information is not accurate. As for the personal guards of the Emperor Xuanwu, this was even more of a joke! This so-called personal guard was just hiding behind the army. Once the army was defeated, he would immediately flee! There are too many rumors in this chaotic world, we can't believe them! Also, there are a lot of underlings in Emperor Jianyan, not to mention Master Zong Ze, there are two million. The rest of the Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Wang Yuan and the rest all have over a hundred thousand underlings! The hundreds of thousands of women were not their match, but they were eventually chased away, which showed how powerful they were! We should rely on the stronger ones, don't you think? " Li Yanxian said.
After Li Yanxian finished speaking, there were more discussions below, and many of the chieftain of the allied army and soldiers actually all nodded!
"Brother Li, I don't agree with that!" There were a lot of soldiers and horses under Emperor Jianyan, but they did not dare to fight with the female true lady directly! It was just that their food had been cut off and they had no choice but to retreat! On the other hand, Emperor Xuanwu has truly defeated the female true spirit, and his battle power far surpasses Emperor Jianyan's! " Li Shifu said.
After Li Shifu finished speaking, the chieftain of the allied army and the soldiers below were stunned, and then nodded their heads.
"The reason why the Emperor Xuanwu was able to defeat the Jin Army was mainly because the main force of the Guan Shan had gone to the Central Plains area. The Guan Shan was empty, and that was why he was able to defeat the true female disciple! If Emperor Jianyan was in Guan Shan, he would definitely be able to defeat the Guan Shan Priestess as well! " Li Yanxian said.
"No matter what you said Big Brother, what I saw was that Emperor Jianyan was not the real girl's opponent, and Emperor Xuanwu defeated the real girl! You have to rely on the useless Emperor Jianyan, and not the brave Emperor Xuanwu. I don't agree! " Li Shifu said.
Li Yanxian frowned, he knew that Li Shifu had a very high status within the allied army! Out of the thirty-six allied armies in the Shaanxi, over ten of them belonged to the direct line of descent of Li Yanxian. This Li Shifu was actually not born in the martial world, but was born in a soldier general's family in the northwest! After the true female invaders, Li Shifu also pulled up a group of allies, and after that, Li Shifu also won a few battles, which earned him a lot of support from the masses! Even Li Yanxian had to consider Li Shifu's attitude!
"Brother, I am doing this for the sake of the's Thirty-six Allied Army! I have no choice but to do so! After we join the Emperor Jianyan, all of us will have officials, wouldn't that be good? " Li Yanxian said.
"Brother Li, if we join Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu will not treat us badly! There is another reason why I do not agree to join the Emperor Jianyan! " Li Shifu said.
"What reason?" Li Yanxian said.
"Emperor Xuanwu is the direct son of the Emperor, and before he ascended the throne he was the legitimate Crown Prince! It was natural for him to inherit the throne and be in charge of the Song Dynasty! The Emperor Jianyan was only a vassal lord in the past, he didn't have the qualifications to become an emperor! Therefore, I do not agree to rely on the Emperor Jianyan! " Li Shifu said.
"Bro, why are you so pedantic?" Li Yanxian frowned.
"A man should say a word of loyalty! I think that loyalty is loyalty to the Emperor Xuanwu, not loyalty to the usurped position of the Emperor Jianyan! " Li Shifu said flatly.
As the two of them argued here, the chieftain of the allied army and soldiers also kept arguing! Some supported joining the Emperor Jianyan. Some supported joining the Emperor Xuanwu.
The sky was still dark. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, followed by the sound of thunder!
After the thunderbolt subsided, the surroundings gradually quieted down!
"Brothers, there is another reason why I agreed to join the Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian came to the center of the stage once again and said clearly.
"May I know the reason?" The leaders below asked one after another.
"Actually, it was a senior expert who advised me, which is why I decided to rely on Emperor Jianyan!" Li Yanxian said.
"May I know which senior expert is it?" Someone immediately said.
"linden, please come up!" Li Yanxian said respectfully.
Next, a Daoist Priest walked out from a nearby room and headed towards the stage!
Seeing this Taoist, the ordinary soldiers were fine, but the faces of many of the chieftain of the allied army s revealed expressions of shock!
"linden Lin Lingsu! That's right, it's the linden! "
"It's actually linden! Back then, he came to the northwest and taught my master! "
"That's right, it's him! Back then, he had gathered the northwest wulin master and went to assassinate the great general of Western Xia! That day, my father went with him to the Western Xia Army camp, and my father praised the linden endlessly! "
"It really is the linden, the number one expert in the martial arts world! People called him an immortal god! That's right, it's him! "
The chieftain of the allied army s all stood up, and bowed to Lin Lingsu!
"This is the number one person in the martial arts world, linden Lin Lingsu!" Li Yanxian said somewhat excitedly.
When the soldiers below heard the three words "Lin Lingsu", they were all stunned! Many of the members of the allied army had connections with the martial arts world. How could they not have heard of this almighty figure's name? At first, they were stunned, but then they were extremely excited. They had seen the number one expert of the Martial Forest Sect!
"The linden came here on the orders of the Emperor Jianyan, he wants us to join him, do we agree or not?" Li Yanxian laughed and said.
"Naturally!"
"Of course I agree!"
"I must agree!"
For a time, the surrounding chieftain of the allied army and soldiers all started shouting!
"Shifu, the linden has personally come here to advise us to join the Emperor Jianyan. Are you really going to insist on your own views?" Li Yanxian looked at Li Shifu again, and said.
"In the end, the Emperor Jianyan is still the vassal lord. I cannot rely on him, and become a traitor's subordinate!" Li Shifu said.
"Emperor Jianyan belongs to someone from heaven. Sooner or later, this Song Dynasty will become a Emperor Jianyan! If I don't go with him now, then who else can I go with? " Lin Lingsu said.
Li Shifu did not say anything, but a soldier from the allied army walked over!
This soldier was brought over by Li Shifu. This person did not look very old, he seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old!
At this moment, he laughed: "linden is joking, Conan's traitor is unfaithful and unfilial, without virtue and incompetence, it is not enough for them to become emperors. How can the thirty-six allied armies rely on him?"
