For such a major event as rebellion, Liu Hong naturally did not dare to slack off, especially the person who rebelled was still the great man Xu Sheng. When he first came to Tan County, through a thorough investigation of the township pavilion and the information collected by the people, Liu Hong summed up a basic distribution map of the major forces in Huiji County, and Xu Sheng was on the list.

Xu Sheng, a member of the Juzhang family of Huiji County, Yangzhou, was born in the first year of Jianguang, that is, in 121 AD, and was exactly forty years old in the first year of Xiping.

Xu Jiashi is strong and strong, to Xu Sheng's hands is already the fourth generation, under the operation of nearly 100 years, Xu Jiatian has been in succession, nearly 100 servants in the family, more than 1,000 private soldiers, it is no exaggeration to say that Xu Sheng is the emperor of the soil.

However, what made Liu Hong so sure that Xu Sheng was about to rebel was not because of the Xu family's seemingly powerful forces.

Since Zhang and the Second Emperor, under the condition that the central government cannot effectively control the localities, it is an unavoidable phenomenon for the family to sit on the throne.

Yangzhou has always been regarded as a barbaric place by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is not taken seriously, and the supervision must be much lax. As a result, the Xu family has become a tyrant in sentences and even meetings, which is not surprising in Liu Hong's eyes.

However, the problem is that the Xu family is not a pure Han hero, but a Yue person with a hundred more blood.

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!" Liu Hong was convinced of this teaching of the sages.

In fact, if the proportion of blood is alone, Xu Sheng's Yue blood is negligible compared to Han blood; And since the beginning of the three generations, the Zhuxia nation is not a race based on blood, but a race that distinguishes between friends and enemies with cultural identity.

However, when the Xu family regarded themselves as Yidi, it was destined that no matter how good their clothes and etiquette were, it would be difficult to change the essence of Yidi.

Therefore, after torturing the Xu family's family, Liu Hong ordered Jia Wei to report these messages to Taishou as quickly as possible, and asked him to make a decision as soon as possible.

However, the result was naturally disappointing to Liu Hong, and in the silk book of Taishou's receipt, it was full of prevarications, as well as perfunctory nonsense such as asking Liu Hong not to think nonsense, and the Xu family was a good family.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong returned to the bookcase and sat down, spread out the silk book with a map of Huiji that he had read many times in the past few days, and first tapped his fingers on the two black characters of the sentence, and then tapped the four counties of "Cheng County", "Yin County", "Tan County", and "Yuyao" on the silk book in turn, and finally smiled coldly: "How dare the rats watch Wang Zun?" Laughing in vain! ”

After speaking, Liu Hong's eyes flashed, this matter, perhaps, for him, was not as bad as it seemed.

……

On November 7 of the first year of Xiping, in the main hall of the Xu's mansion, Xu Shenggao sat on the first seat, followed by his son Xu Chang and Xu He, the housekeeper of the Xu family, and Xu Ming, the general.

Xu Sheng left his seat, looked around, and then said in a deep voice with a sad face: "Since the Han people put the county in my Baiyue, the Baiyue tribes have been suffering for a long time!" Han people, why not hate it? Lewd my wife and daughter, harshly pay taxes, even if my tribe is obscene in the mountains, it is not stable, there is often a disaster of war, for it to disperse and run, how different is it from beasts? ! ”

"But are we barbarians? Wu Yu clan, the son of Shaokang, the ancestral ear of the Wu Yue clan! Huiji, the old soil of our people! In this life, he is not virtuous, and he wants to uphold his righteousness and restore the society of his homeland, but he does not know what the meaning of the monarchs is? ”

After speaking, Xu Sheng bowed deeply to everyone in the hall.

And the people who were worshiped by Xu Sheng hurriedly got up and bowed back one by one, and said respectfully: "Ming Gong Gaode, although Yu is not talented, I am willing to be a dog and horse for Ming Gong, and contribute to this great righteousness!" ”

Xu Sheng bowed slightly, and then said loudly:

"Good! However, there are no rules, there is no square circle, and today I lead the king of Yue. ”

"Ministers meet the king!" Everyone in the hall was very discerning and said in unison.

"Xuchang!"

Xu Chang hurriedly came out and bowed his hand and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"The widow ordered you to be the general of the Yue country, and he was in charge of the soldiers, horses, grain and grass of the Yue country."

"Thank you, the king." The general Xu Chang saluted his father Xu Sheng, who had just been promoted to the king of Yue, and then got up and retreated into the team.

"Xu He!"

The old housekeeper Xu He trembled and saluted: "Weichen has seen the king. ”

"The widow ordered you to be the prime minister of the country for me, and the widow to handle the political affairs of the whole country."

"Thank you, the king." Xu He bowed and retreated, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the joy in Xu He's eyes is full of helplessness and sadness.

"Xu Ming!" The majestic gaze of King Xu Sheng of Yue swept to the general Xu Ming again.

"The minister is here!"

"The widow ordered you to be the general of the Han Dynasty, and be in charge of all matters related to the Han rebellion."

"Thank you, King Shanglongen."

Then Xu Sheng promised all the people sitting here to be high-ranking officials, and the youngest of them were all captains, and when all this was done, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Looking at the full hall of civil and military, Xu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you and others quickly ordered the soldiers to break through the county government and restore the capital of the country!" ”

"Command!" Everyone is in unison.

Then under the leadership of the general Xu Chang, under the coordination of Xu Ming, the general of the Han Dynasty, soon three hundred Yue soldiers were stubbornly gathered, which was naturally not all the strength of the Dayue Kingdom, in fact, there were more than 800 elite Yue soldiers in the Xujiazhuang Wubao outside the city of Juzhang.

However, more than 1,000 people suddenly stuffed into this small sentence is too conspicuous, and the Xu Mansion in the city can't hide so many people, and the most important thing is that Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, thinks that to deal with the Han army in the city of Juzhang, three hundred Yue Guojian is enough.

At the gate of the Xu Mansion, Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, majestically inspected the three hundred elite soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, cheered them on with his eyes, and said some words of praise from time to time:

"Strong, my Yue Guoerlang!"

"Oh--with such elite soldiers, why should the widow worry about the great cause?"

“……”

And the important ministers also praised and said loudly from time to time:

"What the king said is very true!"

"The Holy Ming has no king!"

“……”

After Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, finished his inspection, he came to the carriage in front of the door of Xu's mansion that had temporarily painted the roof with blue paint, and was about to get on the car, but suddenly Xu Sheng seemed to remember something, turned around, and came to the door, and there was Xu He, the prime minister of the Dayue Kingdom.

Then Xu Sheng bowed down to Xu He, Xu He was shocked when he saw Xu Sheng's action, and hurriedly went over to help, and said busily: "Home...... Your Majesty, don't torture your ministers. ”

However, Xu He was old and frail after all, and finally accepted Xu Sheng's salute, and Xu Sheng finished the salute, got up, grabbed Xu He's old hands, and his voice was slightly sad:

"Prime Minister, how long have you been in my country?"

Xu He lowered his eyebrows and said: "Back to the king, the minister will be clothed, and when he is poor, the king will not give up, and he can enter the country." ”

"Good!" Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, sighed leisurely, full of infinite emotion, "The widow still remembers that when the widow was young, his father was busy with political affairs and had no leisure to care about the widow, it was the old man who accompanied the widow to play and teach the widow to read, and the widow and the old prime minister, just like the overlord of Western Chu and Fan Zeng in the past, and the old man was really the father of the widow!" ”

"Your Majesty, the virtue of the ministers is thin, and you can't ......" After listening to Xu Sheng's words, Xu He hurriedly wanted to salute and excuse himself.

However, this was stopped by Xu Sheng again, "The old prime minister doesn't need to be like this, the old prime minister's virtue is known to the widow." ”

"Prime Minister!"

"The minister is here."

"There is no way for the widow to go to the army, it can be said that he has poured out of the nest, and the first war will determine the society of my country, but the soldiers are empty from the outside, and they are afraid that they will be watched by thieves! All the women and children in this palace were entrusted to the prime minister. ”

"Weichen indulges in his liver and brains, and he does not live up to the king's trust."

Hearing Xu He's answer, Xu Sheng nodded heavily: "So...... Very good! ”

After speaking, Xu Sheng turned around and left, got into the carriage, paused slightly when entering the carriage, and glanced at Xu He deeply before opening the carriage and sitting in.

After a while, a deep voice came from the carriage, "Get up." ”

Then, the ministers and soldiers who had received the royal order surrounded the chariot of King Xu Sheng of Yue and walked along the road to the county government of Juzhang.

After a long time, when he could no longer see the back of the soldiers, Xu He lowered his head and sighed, turned around, and closed the door of Xu's mansion.

……

In the county office, the county commander Li Zhao listened to the county lieutenant Lei Peng's report on the affairs of the Xu family, and was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he said in a tone of "don't be joking": "County Lieutenant Lei, this matter is not allowed to be laughed at." ”

Lei Ban smiled bitterly and said: "County Zun, how can I laugh at such a "rebellion" thing, and besides, Xu Sheng's personality, don't you know?" ”

After hearing this, Li Yun sighed: "County Zun, Lei County Lieutenant has always been rigorous, I am afraid that this matter will not be fake, so let's make plans early." ”

Li Zhao smiled distressedly, "Plans, how do you plan?" How many patrol soldiers are there in the county office? ”

According to the military system of the Han family, it seems that there are as many as 100 people in a large county with 10,000 households and soldiers, but the regulations are stipulated, in today's increasingly difficult financial situation of the central government, in addition to the border plugs, Qunye, and important towns, the general county town does not expect to have a full establishment, besides, Li Zhao, Lei Ban, and Li Yun have to eat some empty salaries for their own livelihood, so there are only 22 patrols and soldiers in Juzhang County, and these people are expected to work hard, It is still impractical to fight with three hundred armored soldiers.

Of course, if it was really an ordinary "rebellion", given a few days to the three of them, it would be possible to easily mobilize seven or eight hundred soldiers with certain training, but Xu Sheng's rebellion was really a little unexpected.

However, time waits for no one, Xu Sheng's rebels are rushing towards the county government non-stop, so they were silent for a while, Li Zhao opened his mouth first, no matter what, he is the highest official of this sentence:

"The thief army is powerful, and we must not touch its edge, and in today's plan, we should keep our useful bodies, so as to serve the court and conquer Xu Rebellion."

Li Yun and Lei Ban glanced at each other, and bowed in unison: "May only the orders of the adults be obeyed." ”
