Chapter 962: Rebellion!
Su Xinghai wants to rebel and be careful! In secret, he has already contacted eight families, and there must be thousands of people who want to rebel. Except for the sons and daughters of powerful and wealthy families, the rest of these thousands of people are dead soldiers and private soldiers raised by various families over the years.
What is the most important thing about the powerful tycoons? Of course, it is wealth, how can you keep wealth after you have it? Of course, it is necessary to have force. Under Lu Zheng's rule, the control of the army was very strict, so it was difficult for the powerful and wealthy to infiltrate the army.
However, no matter how harsh the environment is, it can't stop the determination of the powerful and wealthy families to pursue force, so many wealthy families are secretly raising dead soldiers and cavalry, and it is difficult to hide the eyes and ears of people if there are too many people in one family, but if you can unite the dead soldiers and cavalry of seven or eight families, this is definitely not a small force.
And Su Xinghai also has hole cards, that is, in the Liaodong Army, Su Xinghai has infiltrated it, once he wants to get into trouble, there can be a sharp word battalion to completely listen to his transfer, Zhong Kefu, the general of the sharp word battalion, this person is actually surnamed Su, is a member of the Su family.
But Su Xinghai let him take his mother's surname from the day he was born, which is a rule that the Su family has had for many years. Since the beginning of Taizu, the Su family has always liked to set up dark games, the so-called dark games are not to put chess pieces on the bright side, put the chess pieces in the dark, usually do not use them, and only use them when the time is ripe.
The most common practice of this practice is to crown the concubines from the Su family with foreign surnames, and then raise them outside, in this process, the children of the Su family with foreign surnames must receive the purest education of the Su family, can enjoy the resources of the Su family, and can make a fortune as an official with the opportunity given by the Su family.
There is only one thing, that is, once the Su family wants to use it, these people must be absolutely loyal. Zhong Kefu is such a chess piece, he has not moved for 20 years, and this person can make miraculous achievements at a critical time!
"Kefu, that's the way it is, our Su family has already decided to start an incident! And the time is ripe for Liaodong, just wait until the cold wind rises and the dripping water turns into ice, we will act immediately!
Kefu, I know that you have gone through countless difficulties step by step from childhood to adulthood, and it is not easy for you to become a general. But be clear, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you! If you can help the family succeed, you will be the pillar of the Su family from now on! The Su family will be re-included in the family tree, and you will become a child of the Su family again! Do you understand that? Su Xinghai met Zhong Kefu in the secret room and said to Zhong Kefu the highest order as the head of the family.
It's already the middle of winter outside, and the weather has cooled down suddenly, and the water will soon turn into ice! Guanshan has been blocked, and the Central Plains Road has also been almost cut off, at this time Liaodong has become an isolated island, and the time is ripe for the Su family to start an incident.
Zhong Kefu knelt on the ground, his tone was very pious, and said: "Please rest assured, Zhong knows his duty, and finally my duty!"
This time the Su family is raising troops, my 3,000 men and horses will definitely obey your transfer, you let me leave Liaodong, I will leave without hesitation, these thousands of men and horses and I are brothers in life and death, they will listen to my words, and no one will make any mistakes! β
Su Xinghai nodded, very satisfied, he raised his hand and said: "Okay, let's go down, remember to get the silver, the soldiers under your hand have to be fed with food and salary, and they can't be lost!" All the brothers who live and die with you must have hope, and if there is no hope, who will die for you? β
"Yes! Head of the house! β
Zhong Kefu received 10,000 taels of silver, was in a very good mood, and returned to his military camp in a hurry.
He returned to his tent, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that something was wrong, and he subconsciously wanted to touch his waist, but his hand was immediately controlled.
"You ......"
"Zhong Kefu, you bastard, do you know Lao Tzu?" A broken cry sounded, Zhong Kefu knelt down as soon as his legs were weak, if you want to say who is coming, of course, it can only be Li Xiu.
Li Xiu governs the soldiers, he likes to scold people, Zhong Kefu is not afraid of other people when he sees them, he is most afraid of Li Xiu. When he saw Li Xiu, his legs were weak, because Li Xiu really beat people and beat them to death, of course, the people Li Xiu beat were all people who were enemies with him, and they were all people who made trouble in the army.
If there is a ghost in his heart, then he will inevitably not be able to escape Li Xiu's control, Li Xiu squinted at him, and the two looked at each other, but with a little tea, Zhong Kefu showed a tendency to collapse.
"Zhong Kefu, explain your affairs clearly, and you can not die if you explain honestly! If you have reservations, or if you have other plans in secret, hehe, Lao Tzu, you can't get out of the tent today, so you have to be chopped alive! Li Xiu sat on the main seat, saying the most ruthless words, but his attitude was very gentle, this contrast made Zhong Kefu collapse directly.
You must know that Zhong Kefu has never been a tough guy, in fact, this guy is a guy who sees the wind and rudder, and if he has milk, he is a mother. On the one hand, he holds the Su family's money, but his heart may not be towards the Su family. Of course, if the Su family succeeds in creating the law this time, he will definitely follow the Su family, and wait to be a hero and enjoy its success, which is a good thing, can he not pursue it?
But if he is allowed to die because of this incident, it is absolutely impossible, his surname is Zhong, but he doesn't believe in Su. The heavens and the earth are big, and his life is the greatest, so what else is there to care about besides his life?
Li Xiu had already observed him, of course he knew his details, so Zhong Kefu knew that the matter was no longer possible, and immediately said the matter of the Su family's rebellion without too much hesitation, and everything he knew was without any reservations.
Li Xiu sneered and said: "Su Xinghai, this old thing, people call him a gentleman, but in fact he is an old fox, with three knives on both sides, and he rudder when he sees the wind, this kind of person should be cut with a thousand knives!" β
"Yes, it should be cut with a thousand cuts, and I also hate Su Xinghai very much. Now I'm just a snake with him, my heart has always been towards the court, towards the prince! Zhong Kefu said.
Li Xiudao: "Okay, since you say so, I will continue to let you make the merits of the crime, so let's do it, your military affairs will be handed over to Ma Xun, but you are still a general, there is no problem in entering and leaving the camp tent, and you also have to participate in the deliberations, you know?" β
Zhong Kefu's heart was cold, knowing that his military power was gone. But after thinking about it, now that he has reached this point, the only way for him to survive is to cooperate with Li Xiu, otherwise he will die in minutes.
As for the Su family, Li Xiu has obviously been prepared, Su Xinghai feels good about himself, but I'm afraid that the ending will be miserable!
In this way, Li Xiu firmly controlled the army, and then kept waiting, in the extremely tormented waiting, finally waited until this day was cold in the middle of winter, snow was flying in the sky, and there was a sudden fire in the west of Shengjing City, and a fire burned, burning hundreds of people.
Then someone saw that there were knights and dead soldiers in Shengjing out of the city, and then it was rumored that the Su family, the Liu family, and the Sun family were reversed, and the Su family wrote a letter on behalf of all the rebellious families, which probably said that although Lu Zheng claimed to be a courtier of Dakang, he was actually secretly usurping and rebellious, and he called himself the prince, but there were six departments and nine kings under the palace, which was exactly the same as the emperor.
Then he got close to the Su family, saying that the Su family was loyal and good in the era, and he really couldn't bear to follow Lu Zheng to seek the usurpation of the throne, so this time he upheld justice and rebelled directly, and led the Sun family, the Liu family and other eight families to rebel together.
Su Xinghai's letter actually doesn't have much nutrition, and the things he says are all clichΓ©s, and they are not worth talking about at all. But in Liaodong, it has set off huge waves.
The rebels came out of the west gate of Shengjing and went straight to the direction of Shandong, which was really terrifying! Wherever they passed, it was said that the ranks were getting bigger and bigger, and Liaodong seemed to be in chaos overnight.
However, it didn't seem to have much impact on Sheng Jing, and Li Xiu sent troops to quickly quell the rebellion! Then Li Xiu announced that the rebels led by Su Xinghai were actually a rabble, and most of them were peasants, and there were not many cavalry at all, let alone much strength.
And the Liaodong Army currently has tens of thousands of horses, and these tens of thousands of horses have laid a net of heaven and earth, no matter how Su Xinghai runs, it is impossible to run out. The so-called momentum at the moment is just deliberately created by Su Xinghai in order to demagogue, in fact, where is the momentum? There was no momentum at all.
Li Xiu has high prestige in Liaodong, and as soon as he said this, Liaodong immediately settled down, and then everyone was paying attention to Su Xinghai's performance. In fact, Su Xinghai is indeed hiding his ears and stealing the bell, the so-called alliance of eight families he planned, and when he raised troops, there were only three or four of the eight left.
And those families who swore in front of him and claimed that their families had thousands of cavalry, and it was remarkable that they really gathered a hundred cavalry.
There were three or four families in total, and together there were only a few hundred cavalry, plus a very small number of infantry and dead soldiers, which was not vulnerable at all. As for the territory left by Su Xinghai, Zhong Kefu was directly beheaded by Li Xiu as soon as the news of the rebellion came out, and his battalion of 3,000 people was seen dead, let alone sending troops, even a fly in the camp couldn't fly out!
Su Xinghai saw that something was wrong, so he hastily sent the document out, and then went out of the city directly under the cover of hundreds of horsemen. The script was wrong from the time he left Shengjing.
Because according to his script, the first thing the rebels did was to occupy Shengjing, and then slaughter the Lu family first. Then stick to Shengjing and wait for reinforcements from Shandong.
But as a result, Shengjing and they couldn't stand at all, they could only flee, and he left Shengjing with only a few people, how could they survive in the ice and snow outside?
And in order to bluff, Su Xinghai coerced a lot of ordinary people, and these people were even more burdensome, making Su Xinghai's rebellion have no possibility of success at all.
Of course, Li Xiu treated him like a monkey, and did not pursue him at all, leaving him to wander in the vast desert......
