Wang Renshou, as one of the two most important backbones of the Taiyuan Wang family, is a disciple of the Wang family in Qi County, and the instruction and assignment he received in the family is to defect to these Taiping thieves who have already gained a lot of climate in Hunan and Liangling.

That's right, it is to go to the thief, to defect to the rumored thief among the thieves, more like the peace thief of the official army than the official army. It's like the children of other clans who have already gone out of the world before. It's just that he was arranged to go to Hunan.

After all, just when Huangchao's army had swept through the Central Plains and seized the eastern capital, it was about to enter Guanzhong; These five surnames and seven hope families are also going to start planning and planning for the chaotic and uncertain future.

As a result, before the Beixing battalion completed the assembly of soldiers and horses from Hedong and Zelu, he was shocked to hear Tongguan from Hezhong Mansion in the south for a few days, and Xijing was also lost among the thieves in an instant; Since then, the Son of Heaven has not known what to do, and the millions of civilians and soldiers in the city have almost fallen into a series of bad news.

Therefore, as long as there is some common sense in the world, the discerning person can feel that after a long period of turmoil and ups and downs, the world of great changes that have been accumulated and brewed for a long time has arrived.

As the most direct result, it is to gather most of the soldiers and horses in Hedong, Zhaoyi, Zhongwu, Huazhou, Daizhou and other places in Taiyuan; When he heard the news, there was an uproar. Beginning with the rebuilt Zhaoyi Army, they clamoured to loot the military funds used in the camp for the preparation of the Kou on the spot under the leadership of their respective generals, and burned down the camps where they were stationed.

As the inspector Sikong, Taiyuan Yin, the northern capital stayed, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and the envoy of the Beixing Battalion, Zheng Congyan, who was born in the small white house of the northern ancestor of the Zheng family in Xingyang, as well as the deputy envoy Wang Diao, the judge of the festival Liu Chonggui, the observation judge Zhao Chong, the promotion official Liu Chonglu, the secretary Li Wu, the envoy Cui Ze and others, but they were powerless to restrain them for a while, and they all let them return on their own.

Only Du Yu Hou Zhang Yanqiu, Ya General Non An and others still led their troops to follow, but there were only eight or nine thousand available soldiers gathered around Zheng Congyan. Whether it is facing the situation that the land of Kanto is known as a thief all over the mountains, or the hundreds of thousands of thieves who have entered the customs and entrenched in Xijing, it is already a drop in the bucket.

Even Zhuge Shuang, the envoy of the Heyang Jiedu who returned to the thief army, or Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu who claimed to be a minister to the thief, was powerless to crusade and deter for a while. Instead, they had to turn to re-recruiting troops and raising military supplies from the localities, in the hope of saving for a while.

Later, news came that Chen Jingsi, the superintendent of the northbound camp, recruited from outside the Saiwai, and 30,000 people from the three departments of Shatuo, Sage, and Anqing and retreated from the Hun were scattered in a hurry in Jiangzhou; Among them, the leader of Shatuo took the opportunity to capture the state city and returned with a full load.

Therefore, even if the local area has been operating intricately for thousands of years, and the Taiyuan Wang family, known as the head of the five surnames and seven hopes, has to start thinking about and trying to find a way out to preserve the family's heirs and influence.

And he set off late, which is just one of the choices and retreats that are relatively backward; After all, although the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are unknown and the center of the imperial court has fallen, there are still some strong towns and powerful feudal domains in the north. No matter how you look at it, it is better than the "Five Southern Envoys" who have more opportunities and possibilities to win and dominate the Central Plains.

Therefore, send the children of the branch to defect to the various forces that can be called famous in the troubled times. It is also the root cause of their old clan, which has gone through the turmoil and changes in the world of the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it can still rise and fall again and again and flourish in the center.

After all, as a top family with continuous inheritance, the social resources and connections they can master, and the background of the upper channels are far beyond what people can imagine. And just the huge base of many clansmen all over the world is enough to maintain that they have enough candidates and a way out.

For example, the Wangmen of Qixian County, that is, the two generations of queens who have produced Gaozong and Xuanzong, as well as Wang Bo of the Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei, Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian, and other contemporary masters of the Middle Tang Dynasty, as well as Wang Jin, Wang Sengbi, Wang Shuwen, Wang Ling and other prime ministers.

And Wang Duo, the prime minister of this dynasty, who is known as Sanle Gong, and Wang Diao, the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, are also from the origin of another Jinyang king in Taiyuan County. From the Shenlong Revolution that restored Li Tang to the Yongzhen Revolution of the Two Kings and Eight Simas, almost every turmoil related to the center of the imperial court was full of the figures of these gate lords.

After all, whether it is the qualifications and background of the generals, or the basic connections and relationships of the world, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to support and maintain. Even the imperial examinations, which are claimed to be open to all the corporals of the world, are still controlled and dominated by these sects over time.

But the rise of the Yellow Nest has made them realize another terrible fact that they have been turned a blind eye to; Once the most basic channels for advancement are lost, the vast number of poor families in the wilderness will only become the best supplement to all the rebel and separatist forces in this world full of natural and man-made disasters and contradictions.

However, knowing these basic truths does not mean that the same families who have too many interests and resources to accumulate can make changes accordingly, or make an exception to give up enough resources and channels for these potential crises.

All they can do is to send out the inadvertent and important side branch disciples to bet on the potential forces of all sides, just like the ancestors of thousands of years; Then, according to this as the origin and fetters, gradually add the family's resources and talents to any possible rise of Longxing's choice.

In this way, even if a new dynasty is at its peak, if a gentleman like them wants to liquidate, he will be able to recover enough clansmen and capital to recover in the future under the shadow and preservation of various origins and ties. This is the way to survive the changes of the times.

Moreover, after the evolution of generations, its main body has been inherited into the unprecedented world changes in modern times. Those gentry families who have a little wealth will send their children to bet on multiple parties.

It can be said that from the early Whampoa Military Academy, the Revolutionary Northern Expeditionary Army to various Beiyang warlords; From the backbone of the traitors who defected to the Japanese invaders, to the Three Youth League of Preserved Fruit, to the young intellectuals and students who defected to Yan'an, there is no shortage of their existence.

However, Wang Renshou was on the road, and the uncle at home, who was born in a scholar's family, still heard the words of the confession before leaving.

He has such great talents and means, but he can't be used by the imperial court, which also proves that the problems and shortcomings of this world have reached the time when they can't do earth-shaking changes.

Since the fall of the Qianyuan Dynasty, our five surnames and seven hopes have gradually controlled the path of advancement in the center, which seems to be Ze and his descendants for thousands of years, but it has also buried the root of the resentment of the world's cold people.

These resentments have now begun to revolt, and there are many people in the clan who are still unaware of it, and there are also many people who take advantage of the situation because they think it is a good time.

Before Shatuokou plundered Yanmen, the Zhaoyi Army robbed Taiyuan Market, and the Hedong Army rebelled and killed Cui Jikang, is it an accident? In this already chaotic world, the Wang family lives in Hedong and is also going to bear the brunt.

Now, the family in the center has all fallen into thieves, and my generation who stayed in the ancestral shrine will also rely on the style of those feudal towns to act; In the future, it will not fall on you children who have gone out.

Therefore, before he set out, he was repeatedly asked to read through the knowledge and principles advocated by the other party, and to try his best to figure out the likes and tendencies of his predecessors from the writings handed down from generation to generation, so that he could serve and follow them with all his might in the future, so as to gradually win his trust and impress him.

。。。。。。。

And on the head of Xiangyang City.

Wearing two armor coats with inlaid leather and iron scales, Zhou Ben still walks like the wind and climbs like an ape; He also cut off the two hooks sticking out of the battlements, snatched one of the spears and threw them back, and the blood splattered through at least two close bodies.

Only then did he take a few arrows of different shades embedded in his body, and climbed from the trembling ladder to the top of the wall. He quickly stepped on a horizontal knife that cut through the wall, and with the other foot, he used the tip of his iron-clad boot to push the opponent's eye socket.

Seeing the defenders rolling to the ground screaming and screaming between the red and white splashes, he stepped on the other party's back and jumped up; narrowly escaped two spears that had been stabbed again; But with a cruel smile, the volley was caught under his arm and suddenly exerted force, pushing it backwards and rolling into a ball.

Taking advantage of this fleeting space, he pulled out the three-pointed knife he carried behind his back and picked up a ball of cards; And pounced on the defenders who had regrouped and covered up.

And behind him, the soldiers who followed closely on this long ladder were pierced by arrows fired from the side one after another, and after falling, someone finally stepped forward and took advantage of the short gap created by Zhou Ben to climb the wall again.

And then a pale blue banner was stretched out vigorously against the bloody and scorched air; Immediately, there was a cheer like a tidal wave.

At this time, within five steps of Zhou himself, who was covered in blood and shaped like a demon, there was no longer a figure that could stand; The armor on his chest and abdomen was also cut to shreds, and the blood-soaked lining was revealed in the horizontal and vertical cracks.

However, he only turned around with a slightly tired look, and shouted at the soldiers who were scrambling to use this section of the city:

"Heaven makes up for the average, and recreates peace."

"Heaven makes up for the average, and recreates peace."

And in the distance above the city, the same faint shouts were heard; This is like touching a certain nerve of Zhou Ben again, and the muffled knife and card grabbing the card again took the lead in killing the nearest arrow tower.

As their warrior rampaged, the towers and watchtowers that stood on the walls of the city were desperately firing arrows and sniping; In the fierce fighting and screaming, it gradually died down or ignited the flames.

Their new force that broke through to the city swept and breached five arrow towers almost in one fell swoop, destroyed the equipment on two enemy platforms, cut down and overturned a hanging house, and finally was blocked by the defenders who were waiting for the fortification in the position of the gatehouse.

He also poked more than a dozen of them with the stabbing spears, and pushed them back for a long distance, and even Zhou himself was stabbed twice by surprise, and the blood flowed like a spring.

It's just that the panic on their faces is mixed with fear, but it can't be concealed in Zhou Ben's eyes. He couldn't help but hold down his wound and shout loudly:

"Is there a brother who brought the fire?"

"Yes."

Several jagged voices rang out from behind at once. Immediately, several orbs painted red and black were passed up, and the truncated leads were lit in the charcoal fire that had been poured on the side, and they were thrown towards the opposite side.
