Chapter 39: The mountain rain is coming
Leaving Yangxiong's mansion, Liu Xiu and Wang Sunqing have been living in the Imperial City of Chang'an, one is to increase their experience, and the other is to wait for instructions to do it all the time.
Time waits for no one, two months have passed, and there is still no news at all, Liu Xiu visited again, but was kicked out by Yangxiong, and there was a sentence floating in the air: "You are in a hurry!" ”
After suffering from the wretchedness, there must be a point of anger, Liu Xiu rushed to his hometown Wancheng, and when he arrived at the old nest, he pulled up a brigade, went down the mountain to rebel, and robbed the money foundry.
Wancheng has been one of the male cities in the world since ancient times, with heavy guards, Liu Xiu led people down the mountain to rob, even if he succeeded, the casualties were definitely not small, so Wang Sunqing dragged him tightly, did not let go, and kept shouting: "Lord, you can't do anything, you can't do anything!" ”
"Wang Sunqing, have you heard the words that the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lords are humiliated by the death of the ministers, hurry up and take your hooves away, pick up your weapons and do it with me!"
The soldiers were instigated by Liu Xiu's emotions were high, wielding weapons to do it, but there were two people who were not among them, namely Pang Meng and Gai Yan, they knew that if they did not do anything, they would definitely end up miserable, but they were better than Wang Sunqing and did not forcibly stop Liu Xiu, but intentionally or unintentionally carried the county seat of Baoding.
Baoding belongs to the ancient county, and Zhending, Beiping together called the north of the three male towns.
Why rob this place?
The main reason is that someone can take the blame, he is Liu Du, a local tyrant who was fooled by Wang Sunqing some time ago.
"There is such a good place, you can directly say that I will be the emperor's man in the future, and I know how to accept advice and know how to be loyal and disobedient." The goal was determined, Pang Meng and Gai Yan each took a song of men and horses, and the whole army set off.
Some people turned into homeless people, some people went away to visit relatives, and some people traveled far away to do business, but the army went north to Baoding without causing any suspicion.
The first time he led the army to the expedition, Liu Xiu was very sensitive to many things around him, and he always looked like Diao Min wanted to harm the orphans, and the angry Wang Sunqing wanted to disperse with him several times.
After several battles with Wang Sunqing, Liu Xiucai gradually entered the state, and he thought deeply about the 86 articles of the pipe.
The book mentions that fighting and being afraid to wade into the water is called a lack of courage. This kind of person is not good for small things, and bad luck for big things. Fighting and being afraid of taking a dangerous road is called a myriad of hearts. Such people can only confuse the army, and the whole army will fall into confusion and be doomed to the path of destruction.
When the use of soldiers emphasizes stillness, they should be as immobile as dead bodies; When emphasizing movement, it should haunt like a ghost; When emphasizing expansion, it should be stretched as forcefully as a chicken's pitch; When contraction is emphasized, it should be bent and withdrawn like a lame person. Stillness or movement, sometimes placed in the main position, sometimes placed in the guest position, this is the most important thing. Knowing the rules to be followed when standing still, it is naturally advantageous to garrison troops; If you know the rules you should obey when exercising, you will succeed when you move.
The emperor's rebellion has just begun to happen, and heaven and earth have no performance, so if they rebel early, things will not succeed. Heaven bestows blessings and misfortunes according to the good and evil of man, and saints make conquests according to the signs of heaven. The people should not easily rebel if there is no disaster of time, and if there is no disaster of personnel, they should not rebel easily, and they should take their soldiers and wait for the arrival of the right time and place. Waiting for the people to make trouble, and then the heavens and the earth show signs of punishment, and finally it is completed by himself, the saint, through the conquest, which is consistent with the rules of the heavens.
The way to success lies in being able to stretch and bend. The rule of not forgetting the heavens should be stopped after the number of days. If it doesn't work, there is no need to change the normal, nor do you need to destroy the original foundation, rest the people's strength, observe the opportunity, and wait for the destiny to start. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the orbit of yin and yang, and fulfill the routine of heaven and earth. Stretching, flexing, and flexing should be used together and mastered appropriately; Faintly manifest, walk according to the signs of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth show signs, the saint completes the conquest, so that there is a small profit for small things, and a big profit for big things, and a comprehensive plan for the world.
As soon as he fell into his mind, time passed very quickly, and after sighing, Liu Xiu's army had arrived at its destination. After thinking deeply, Liu Xiu's sophistication after entering the state made Wang Sunqing a little staggered, he used a specific icon to notify everyone to keep his identity highly confidential, and a few days later, he used a special icon to notify everyone to observe every move of the Baoding official, and even ordered Wang Sunqing to visit Liu Du and give him a little hint.
As a professional in rebellion, the incident of Xu Xianghou Liu Kuai has always been a headache for Wang Sunqing and a shame in his life.
At first, Liu Du didn't believe Wang Sunqing's words, but after witnessing the soldiers with excellent weapons, Liu Du was convinced.
After saying that they were brothers, Wang Sunqing and Liu Du agreed to start an incident at the beginning of next month. At that time, it happened to enter the winter solstice, and the heavy snow was when the Baoding officials were lax, and Wang Sunqing immediately proposed the need for winter materials.
Liu Duzheng fantasized about the scene of his successful uprising, and nodded very happily.
In the time of waiting, Liu Xiu did not waste a single bit of time, he gradually perfected the plan, and when the time came, he and Wang Sunqing each brought a song to deploy and start to make trouble.
Liu Xiu, Pang Meng and Yiqu attacked the county capital, Wang Sunqing and Gai Yan attacked the money foundry, while Liu Du led his own men to seize the Baoding gate to prevent reinforcements from entering the city.
Compared with the situation in the bloody battle of Wancheng in the early years, Liu Xiu's men and horses are many times stronger this time, but the development of events is still not satisfactory.
Pang Meng's personality is more inclined to Confucian generals, he led his troops to capture the county government several times and was forced back by the rain of arrows, and later even Liu Xiu personally played to no avail, and was still blocked at the gate by the official army.
The county government couldn't fight hard, just when Liu Xiu's whole person was about to lose control and run away, a sharp arrow came from behind, the defending archers fell to the ground, Gai Yan pulled the bow again, and several archers fell to the ground again, Liu Xiu was just about to open his mouth to praise, when he saw Gai Yan flying down, pulling up the flatbed car on the side of the road, and rushing forward with a roar.
With a "bang", the gate of the county government opened, and Gai Yan pulled off the big axe on his back like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the officials and the military in chaos, causing Liu Xiu to shout: "With this desperate general, I should write the sky." ”
Talking unintentionally, listening intentionally. Pang Meng was very unhappy in his heart, he felt that Gaiyan County Government would be defeated or not, and Gaiyan's appearance was obviously a strong attack, but Gaiyan just obeyed Wang Sunqing's order and hurried to help in the battle.
"Lord, the money mill has been captured, and General Wang is carrying coins to retreat from the West Gate, and I am here to answer it." While speaking, Gai Yan appeared in front of Liu Xiu with the head of the Baoding County Order, looking at the dead head, Liu Xiu praised Gai Yan a few words, but he didn't see Pang Meng's eyes looking at Gai Yan, full of hatred.
