The tax on Dashi is calculated on a per capita basis, and families with many children must be separated when they reach a certain age, which is mandatory and cannot be changed.

Therefore, Liu Zhan's father's generation, after becoming an adult, the brothers split up.

When Liu Zhan was seven years old, his father died of illness, and his mother Qin raised him single-handedly, and his strict mother was filial piety, under the strict discipline of his mother, Liu Zhan studied hard since he was a child, so he still has some talent and ambition.

When Liu Zhan was young, with the support of his mother, he once stole into the Central Plains, hoping to make a career, but unfortunately, although Liu Zhan has been reading Chinese books since he was a child, speaking Chinese, but his living environment, and the Han culture to which the Jin Dynasty belongs, in fact, has been very different, in the Jin Dynasty during that time, Liu Zhan had no way to serve the country, and he wandered blindly for a few years, still achieved nothing, and finally was almost treated as a big stone spies, arrested and killed, as a last resort, Liu Zhan could only flee back to Longyou.

And the reason why Liu Zhan finally chose to be a bandit, in fact, the reason is very simple, he doesn't want to live the life of an ordinary person, he wants to make a career, but under the rule of the Dashi Empire, Longyou, like Liu Zhan, these conquered people, have no qualifications to be officials at all, if you want to be an official, there is only one way, that is, through military means, to force the government to recruit An, in fact, before Li Zhong laid down Longyou, Liu Zhan, who was well-known in Guazhou, had already negotiated with the local government several times, and the two sides negotiated good conditions, Liu Zhan was ready to accept Zhao'an and return to the government, It's a pity that on the eve of the surrender of the mountain, the army of more than 100,000 elite Jin Dynasty, under the leadership of the famous general Li Zhong, was unexpected, and it took less than half a month to conquer the entire seven states in the western part of Longyou, and the rule of the Dashi Empire in the western part of Longyou completely collapsed, and Liu Zhan's dream of becoming an official could only be shattered again.

Niu Jin secretly glanced at Liu Zhan, and saw that he had been silent, so he whispered: "Boss Liu, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about others!" If you take refuge in Dajin, your mother will be very happy, so that your mother and son can release their old suspicions and get back together, isn't this what you have always dreamed of? ”

Ouyang Li strode into the living room, looked directly at Liu Zhan, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhan, my lord's army has arrived at Pojialing, and he is leading the army at this moment, and he will arrive here in an hour, and immediately launch an attack, whether to do it or not, you should make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Liu Zhan's whole body was shocked, and there was a look of surprise on his face, the other party came so fast?

Niu Jin took the opportunity to persuade again: "Boss Liu, since you have made a decision, don't hesitate, you surrender to us, don't say anything else, at least you can get your mother's forgiveness, is there anything more important than this?" ”

"You can't be a relative, you can't be a person; If you are not obedient to your relatives, you must not be a son. ”

Ouyang Li said loudly.

Liu Zhan closed his eyes and sighed: "My mother hates me as a bandit and cuts off contact with me, this is the biggest pain in my heart, if it can be recovered, fame and wealth, what can it be worth?" ”

After saying this, Liu Zhan opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, and said to Ouyang Li: "Thank you for the reminder, I have no hesitation." ”

Niu Jin and Ouyang Li glanced at each other, and there were smiles on their faces.

After a brief discussion, Liu Zhan immediately gathered his subordinates and went to the gate of the cottage.

Late at night.

Li Xun led more than 5,000 soldiers and had reached ten miles away from the old nest of the red bandits in Yeshan.

"Extinguish the torches, no one shall make a loud noise, and those who disobey the order shall be beheaded."

The army moved forward quietly, and according to the marching route given by Ouyang Li, along the way, successfully avoided several groups of hidden posts of bandits.

"General Li, why did you stop, it's already here?"

In a carriage, an elderly woman over fifty years old opened the curtain and asked Li Xun not far away.

Li Xun got off the horse, came to the carriage, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, there are still ten miles away." ”

"Then why stop?"

"The road ahead is rough and difficult for cars and horses, so the road below can only be walked on."

After that, Li Xun said to Jiang Daxiong beside him: "You are carrying Aunt Qin forward, don't be rude." ”

"Am I that rude?"

Jiang Daxiong muttered a few words in a low voice, stepped forward to help the old man, and carried it on his back.

"How can this be, the big bear is carrying me, it must be inconvenient to move, if you fight with the bandits later, won't it be a mistake?"

Li Xun smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, with Liu Zhan as the internal response, this battle will be very simple." ”

Hearing Liu Zhan's name, the old man named Aunt Qin immediately lowered his head and was a little silent.

Li Xun glanced at Aunt Qin, and sighed secretly in his heart, Ouyang Li found himself and said that there were two people, and the other person was Liu Zhan's mother Qin, since Liu Zhan became a bandit, the relationship between mother and son was completely broken.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, Ouyang Li had already kidnapped the Qin family near Pojialing, and today he handed her over to Li Xun, with only one plan, if Liu Zhan temporarily changed his hexagram, he would take his mother as a hostage and force him to open the gate of the village.

And Liu Zhan and the Qin family, although they have broken up, but that is only a unilateral decision of the Qin family, as a son of man, how can Liu Zhan not recognize the mother who gave birth to him and raised him? In fact, Liu Zhan is extremely filial to his mother, if it weren't for being a bandit, the relationship between mother and son would never have come to this point.

"Aunt Qin, in fact, I didn't plan to bring you here in advance."

Li Xun said with some shame.

The Qin clan raised his head and looked at Li Xun, shook his head, and said: "If that young man had explained this to me earlier, there was no need for him to hijack him, I should come voluntarily, Longyou was originally the land of the Han people, and now it has returned to the Great Jin, and as one of them, I will contribute my modest efforts." ”

Li Xun nodded, arched his hand and said, "Aunt Qin, don't worry, if Liu Zhan is repeatedly unkind, even if he can't beat Ye Shanhong's nest, I won't do anything to you." ”

Qin said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhan is also a Han Chinese, and his body is Han blood, if he refuses to submit to the Great Jin, he is not my son, and he is not worthy of being a Han Chinese, I should commit suicide in front of him, let him bear the infamy, what face does he have to live in the world?" ”

Listening to Qin's words, Li Xun suddenly had a sense of respect in his heart, although the Qin family is old, he has great righteousness in his heart, his identity is ordinary, but his personality is very great, and he deserves everyone's respect.

Half an hour later, when Li Xun came to the foot of Yeshan Hong's old nest mountain, Ouyang Li had been waiting here for a long time.

"How's it going?"

Li Xun grabbed Ouyang Li and immediately asked.

Ouyang Li said: "The gate of the village has been controlled by Liu Zhan, and the lord can directly lead the troops to enter." ”

Li Xun was overjoyed, and then turned around and gave an order to Yan Hui: "Attack immediately?" ”

Yu Yanhui bowed down to receive the order, and immediately ordered five hundred elite soldiers, unsheathed his sword, and walked along the path, under the cover of the night, towards the mountain, and Li Xun and other large troops followed behind.
