Yang Sixuan and Wu Yanhao are old acquaintances, and they have been to his house to drink. By the moonlight, Yang Sixuan found the crooked-necked willow tree in front of the door, and through the wooden fence, he saw that the lights were on in the house. Pushing open the empty courtyard door, Yang Sixuan walked into the courtyard and coughed heavily.

"Who?" There was an angry shout from the house, the door opened, and Wu Yanhao appeared with a thick wooden stick in his hand.

"Lao Wu, it's me, Yang Sixuan."

Wu Yanhao carefully distinguished the visitor under the moonlight, recognized that it was Yang Sixuan, threw away the wooden stick in his hand, looked behind him vigilantly, and turned sideways to open the door. The light leaked out of the room, paving a dim path of light in front of Yang Sixuan.

Stepping into the house, the smell of wine was fragrant, the room was simply furnished, there were several chairs on the table, and there was a wine jar on the table, obviously Wu Yanhao was drinking alone. Yang Sixuan knew that Wu Yanhao was from Renzhou, and his family was not around, so he was usually taken care of by two veterans.

"General Yang is here to get me?" Wu Yanhao was full of wine and said. Yang Sixuan frowned, Wu Yanhao was already drunk, and it was unwise to talk to a drunk man about business.

Wu Yanhao saw Yang Sixuan's expression clearly, and said, "General Yang will sit down for a while, and I'll go and sober up." ”

There is a well in the courtyard, Wu Yanhao peeled off the strips, lifted water from the well and poured it on his body, although the climate in Qianzhou is warm, but after all, it is winter, and it is night, Wu Yanhao was excited by the cold water and shivered. When Wu Yanhao got dressed again and entered the house, his eyes had already returned to clarity.

Yang Sixuan nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "Brother Wu's heroic appearance has not diminished back then. ”

Wu Yanhao was the Xuanjie captain of the Annan battalion back then, and he made many military exploits in the battle with the Miao people. Later, Wu Yanhao injured his leg in battle, and was originally going to return to his hometown to serve as a county lieutenant, but he was replaced, so he had to come to the Tun army to be the head of the tun regiment. For the court, Wu Yanhao is full of resentment, and this time to implement the new Tuntian policy, Wu Yanhao is the most ferocious, and during the day, he shouted "anti".

Yang Sixuan and Wu Yanhao were originally robes in the same camp, and they knew him very well, Liu Wei and they rebelled, and Yang Sixuan first thought of Wu Yanhao.

Picking up a thick bowl, Wu Yanhao poured a bowl of wine for Yang Sixuan, and said, "General Yang, if you have anything to say, I don't like to hide it." ”

Yang Sixuan took the bowl and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "Happy, Brother Wu shouted rebellion in the big tent today, but he was sincere." ”

Wu Yanhao looked at Yang Sixuan coldly, and sneered: "Old Yang, you and I have been scooping rice in the same pot for seven or eight years, you don't know what kind of personality I have." Since you came to me in the middle of the night, if you have anything to say, I will not betray you whether you succeed or not. ”

"Happy", Yang Sixuan said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Wu, Liu Shuai took us to Huairen Mansion to see the new Zhang Shuai, Zhang Shuai had murderous intentions, whipped us twenty lashes, and wanted to borrow the head of the Tun army to establish his authority." Liu Shuai and I refused to be beheaded, and decided to take a risk, and took the Tunjun brothers to rebel, went south to slaughter a small country, and established ourselves as kings. Brother Wu, I know your ability, so I came to find you first. ”

Wu Yanhao stretched out his hand to the wine jar, and slammed his fist on the table halfway, shaking the pottery bowl. Wu Yanhao said: "How many brothers do you think will go with you?" ”

Yang Sixuan thought that there were at least more than 10,000 people in his heart, but he smiled and said, "This Brother Wu knows better than us. ”

Wu Yanhao said bitterly: "There will be no more than two thousand." ”

Yang Sixuan was shocked, if only 2,000 people were willing to rebel, then Liu Weihe's plan was to hit the stone with an egg, and the rest of the troops would be able to take them down without the army of the Annan Protectorate. How can it be just this person, there are at least more than 10,000 people who are clamoring to return to their hometowns to farm, Yang Sixuan felt his head "buzzing", and he didn't want to believe Wu Yanhao's words.

Wu Yanhao's sarcastic words pierced into his ears like spikes, "You and Liu Wei probably thought that as long as you raise your arms, at least half of the more than 20,000 troops will follow you." Shit, you don't pee on your own virtues

, usually eat empty salaries, drink the blood of soldiers, and think that the soldiers will go with you, believe it or not, as long as Liu Wei dares to say a reverse word, countless people will want to behead him for meritorious service and reward. ”

Yang Sixuan's hands trembled a little, Wu Yanhao's words broke his dream, thinking about Liu Wei and his own actions on weekdays, I am afraid that few of those soldiers will obey orders. Rebellion is a fatal thing, and it will affect the family, don't look at the shouting of these soldiers, really let them follow the rebellion, the heroic spirit is really like Wu Yanhao said, there are no 2,000 people to follow. Looking at Wu Yanhao's eyes, he only told Wu Yanhao about the rebellion except for the three of them, and now when he heard Wu Yanhao say it, the three of them want to rebel like child's play. This matter must not be spread out of Wu Yanhao's mouth, he said the opposite word in the big tent during the day, and simply took him down, saying that Wu Yanhao was plotting to rebel.

Wu Yanhao smiled coldly at Yang Sixuan, stretched out his hand to take the wine jar, and said, "Why, if you want to kill people or frame you, I have seen a lot of work in this barracks." ”

Yang Sixuan's heart moved, thinking of Wu Yanhao's bravery, although he is lame now, if he really wants to fight, he is not his opponent if he ties the three of them together. Qiang stood up with a smile, knelt down in front of Wu Yanhao, and mourned: "Brother Ang, my brother is respectful to you on weekdays, and I will guide my brother to a clear path in your friendship." I would like to serve Angkor as Lord and obey Angkor's command. ”

Picking up the bowl and drinking the wine, Wu Yanhao snorted coldly and said, "Lao Tzu is too lazy to answer your life and death, you can go, I only want you to never come." ”

"Brother Ang, Zhang Yuanguan can stare at our army, Liu Wei and we can't protect day and night, Brother Ang, it's better to say the opposite in the big tent today, Zhang Yuanguan will definitely not let you go." Angkor, I know you have the ability, and after so many years, your heart is full of resentment, so it is better to take your brothers to have a good time. Yang Sixuan persuaded hard.

Wu Yanhao's body stiffened, Yang Sixuan talked about his sore spot, in the past ten years, he has fought bravely to kill the enemy for the country, but the credit has been repeatedly favored by his boss, this resentment is so resentful that he can't sleep and eat, and he can only find a moment of peace in the drunken country.

"Will you listen to me?" Wu Yanhao lowered his head and asked.

Yang Sixuan nodded again and again: "I know Brother Ang's ability, and I am willing to listen to your orders." ”

"Liu Wei and Xu Mingde, will they be willing?"

Yang Sixuan was silent, he knew that Wu Yanhao was so powerful that he was willing to obey the command, but how could Liu Wei be willing to give the command to others.

Wu Yanhao said in a deep voice: "Well, if Liu Wei sincerely thinks about the brothers, he will respect him as the leader, if he just wants the brothers to work for him, hehe." ”

Sen Han's laughter was full of murderous intent, Yang Sixuan shuddered, and secretly regretted in his heart that he had promised Liu Wei to rebel, it was clearly not a diamond, and he was forced to take on any porcelain work. Comparing Liu Wei and Wu Yanhao in his heart, Wu Yanhao is much stronger than Liu Wei except for his official position being smaller than Liu Wei, Yang Sixuan has already decided to follow Wu Yanhao in his heart.

"Arise up." Waiting for Yang Sixuan to sit down, Wu Yanhao stroked his beard and said: "If you want everyone to rebel together, you have to force everyone to a dead end, and if you want to survive, there is only one way to rebel." ”

Wu Yanhao pondered for a moment and continued: "Since Zhang Yuanguan wants to use the Tun army, we might as well use him. ”

Yang Sixuan smiled: "Liu Wei and I think the same way. If you kill Zhang Yuanguan, you will have to rebel if you don't fight back. ”

Wu Yanhao glanced at Yang Sixuan and sneered: "How to kill Zhang Yuanguan?" It's up to you? ”

Yang Sixuan was stunned by Wu Yanhao's words, he said to Liu Wei and Xu Mingde that he wanted to kill Zhang Yuanguan and rebel, but there was really no specific way, he just roughly thought about luring Zhang Yuanguan to Cen Zhu County to inspect, and then use the crowd to kill him, and then retreat into the mountains before the army cleared up.

Wu Yanhao said: "Zhang Yuanguan is a veteran of the battlefield, he will not be able to guess if you are careful, he will not consider that you may take risks, if Zhang Yuanguan is like that."

I can't sit in the position of Governor of Annam. Zhang Yuanguan is coming to Cen Zhu County, and I am afraid that he will be followed by 3,000 elite soldiers, do you think the 20,000 Tun army can win over the 3,000 elite soldiers of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Yang Sixuan swallowed with difficulty and shook his head, feeling disheartened by the attack on Zhang Yuanguan.

"Can Zhao Bingzhong promise to act with you?" Wu Yanhao asked.

"No, this kid is afraid that he is selfish, if he knows that we are going to rebel, he will definitely tell Zhang Yuanguan about it, and Liu Wei is ready to take him with him at all times." Yang Sixuan said.

Wu Yanhao said: "Yiming Tundi is Zhao Bingzhong's territory, how do you look at him, he wrote a letter and asked a cronie to send it to Zhang Yuanguan, what awaits you is the army of the Annan battalion." ”

The more Yang Sixuan thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Wei's discussion with a few of himself was flawed, but fortunately, only a few people knew that they had the idea of rebellion, if they did, they would not be able to live. Yang Sixuan said convincingly: "Brother Ang, what do you say, I'll listen to you." ”

Wu Yanhao thought for a moment and said, "After you go back, tell Liu Wei that I am willing to follow him, and you don't have to tell him anything else." Tomorrow you go to Wuling, Liu Wei will take Zhao Bingzhong with him, I will take someone to guard the road to Huairen Mansion, if Zhao Bingzhong sends someone to deliver the letter, I will intercept him, search for the letter and send it to you. You asked Liu Wei to threaten Zhao Bingzhong to write another letter to Zhang Yuanguan according to his intentions, saying that the Tun army was unstable and Liu Wei was unable to suppress the bullets, so please ask Zhang Dashuai to bring someone to quell the chaos in person, and the letter should indicate that the Tun army is on the verge of riots, and let Zhang Shuai bring more soldiers and horses. ”

Yang Sixuan said depressedly: "Isn't this a reminder to Zhang Yuanguan, it will be more difficult for him to bring more soldiers and horses." ”

Wu Yanguan glanced at Yang Sixuan contemptuously and said, "Since you intend to deal with Zhang Yuanguan, you don't even know Zhang Yuanguan's temperament. Zhang Yuanguan this person is bold and resolute, good at scheming, he once led a light cavalry night attack on the desert tribe when he fought with the desert people in Dengzhou, with 300 light cavalry to attack and kill the tribe of 10,000 people, beheaded thousands of people, and captured countless cattle and sheep, because of the merit of the four levels in a row, you don't know. ”

Yang Sixuan recalled it in his mind and found this memory, this history of Zhang Yuanguan is widely known in the army. Yang Sixuan said with a smile: "Brother Wu is saying that Zhang Yuanguan knows that the Tun army wants to rebel, and he will surprise the soldiers who will suddenly appear, and capture the person who is the leader to quickly quell the turmoil?" ”

Wu Yanhao didn't respond, and said to himself: "When Zhang Yuanguan first came to Annan, he would be more careful in his actions, and even if he came, he would bring five or six hundred guards. If you want to capture him, you can't do it in Yiming County, you might as well stay in Wuling for a few more days and lure Zhang Yuanguan into Wuling. There are many mountains and deep ravines, the roads are difficult to travel, Zhang Yuanguan is not familiar with the terrain, and ambushes can be set up everywhere. ”

"Send more horses to reconnoiter Zhang Yuanguan's movements, if he really comes, let Liu Wei provoke the tun army first, saying that Zhang Yuanguan led the troops to kill the officers and soldiers who made trouble, and led the army to rob and kill him, as long as everyone moves, there will be no way to retreat, and if you don't fight back then, you will have to do the opposite." Wu Yanhao continued to explain: "Let Liu Wei secretly raise ordnance and military rations, and once the move is successful, he must avoid the mountains, and he can't do it without food and ordnance." The soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Yuanguan must be well-equipped, and the equipment should be captured as much as possible, and the Tun army should not rush south, but wait for the arrival of the Annan army to fight a battle. ”

"Of course, we must also fully consider the fact that Zhang Yuanguan did not come, if he only sent one general to come to inspect, how should you act? If Zhang Yuanguan found out in advance that you were preparing to rebel, what should you do with the army of the Anxi camp that came to you? If Zhang Yuanguan sends a master of the dragon guard to secretly kill you, how should you deal with it? ”

A few rhetorical questions made Yang Sixuan sweat coldly, they didn't think about these things, they just thought about going south to claim the king and hegemony, and were asked by Wu Yanhao continuously, only to realize that once the flag was raised in a hurry, I am afraid that it is very likely that the head will fall to the ground. Looking at Wu Yanhao, who was talking eloquently, Yang Sixuan secretly rejoiced that he had come to see him, which gave him a few more chances of winning this chaos.
