At that time, Emperor Gaozu of Liang was still the governor of Taiyuan, in charge of the Jinyang Palace, with Pei Ji as his deputy.
Due to the chaos across the nation and the unstable situation, Emperor Gaozu of Liang was also secretly planning to raise troops.
However, at that point, the former emperor had already become extremely distrustful towards him and had dispatched his confidants, Gao Junya and Wang Wei, to Jinyang to watch his every move.
Therefore, if Emperor Gaozu of Liang wanted to rebel, he first needed to recruit soldiers and expand his power, but such conspicuous actions would definitely raise alarm.
This had always been a major problem troubling Emperor Gaozu of Liang when he considered raising troops in Jinyang.
Meanwhile, Gao Junya and Wang Wei were still in the city. Although Emperor Gaozu of Liang and Lord Qin were constantly making alliances with local heroes and contacting people from various places, the conditions for raising troops were still not ripe.
