Chapter 42: Men Should Do Something (2)

Since Liu Xiu returned to his hometown of Chungling with Liu Xiu more than ten years ago, he only fostered his younger brother in his uncle's house for many years, but he went to Wancheng alone and single-handedly created a force.

In the early years, when Liu Xiu was still living in his uncle's house, Liu Xiu would often return to Chungling to accompany his younger brother, but later, as the power at hand became bigger and bigger, there were more and more subordinates, and there were more and more affairs, and the number of times he returned to Chungling naturally gradually decreased.

And after Liu Xiu went to Chang'an Taixue to study, in the past five years, Liu Xiu has almost never returned.

Nanyang County is a large county where the former Han clan gathered, and Chungling Township is particularly dense. In a township, there are dozens of clans surnamed Liu. Now that Liu Jiu is about to raise troops, it is naturally the top priority to get their support.

However, in the eyes of the Liu clan in Chungling, even if Liu Xuan is not a bad child, he is just a dissolute and invisible scum.

"So, brother, you went to Chungling, and then they rejected you?" Liu Xiu smiled and looked at his brother teasingly: "The controller of the night world of Wancheng, who controls hundreds of subordinates, kills people without calculation, and Liu Xuan, who is called the 'Dragon of Huangquan' on the road, is so worthless in the eyes of those fathers and villagers in Chungling?" ”

"Stinky Ah Xiu!" Liu Xuan glared at Liu Xiu, stretched out his hand over the table, and slapped him on the head: "How do you know this bullshit nickname!" ”

"Liu Ji told me before...... I think it's pretty impressive. Liu Xiu smiled and touched his head: "Okay, I know, brother." You just want me to go to Chungling with you and persuade my uncle and those people to join you in the army, right? ”

"That's right." Liu Xuan nodded, and his face changed to serious: "They don't want to believe me." But for you...... I think they'll still be able to listen to you. ”

"After all, I've always been a good boy since I was a child." Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "So, what should I say?" After all, I have never been clear about what you think about every day. ”

Liu Xuan nodded: "Then, let me tell you about the current situation first." ”

"Since Wang Mang came to power, there have been disasters all over the world, and the people have struggled to make a living. Two years ago, that is, in the fourth year of Tianfeng, hundreds of hungry people in the Xinshi area, led by Wang Feng and Wang Kuang brothers, revolted and occupied Lulin Mountain. Although the name is an uprising, it has always only done things like robbing homes and houses. But now...... But they have been recruiting men and horses, accumulating strength. ”

"Wang Kuang and Wang Feng are brothers, they really don't have much talent. In their eyes, as long as they can have a place, it is enough to gain a foothold. Liu Xuan sneered: "I negotiated with them a few days ago and wanted to include them under my command. But they thought that if they couldn't take Wancheng, then everything would be stopped. Although this Nanyang County is large, it is the most quintive, but only this one can be ranked among the five cities in the world. The capture of Wancheng is a condition for them to become my subordinates. ”

"I don't understand...... Liu Xiu frowned and asked suspiciously: "Brother, since you already have such power in Wancheng, isn't it easy to take Wancheng?" ”

"It's not that easy." Liu Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Speaking of which, I am the controller of the underground forces in Wancheng. But since there are two words underground, it means that it can't be on the table after all. Among my current subordinates in Wancheng, there are only about 500 people who can be used to fight. Although they are very good at fighting in the streets, or assassinating in the dark. Without military training, how can they compete with the more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in Wancheng? ”

"If I just want to assassinate the city guards, it will be easy. But if you want to rely on these more than 500 people to capture the entire Wancheng, it will be a pipe dream. Ah Xiu, you may understand the difference? ”

"I see." Liu Xiu nodded: "So, brother, what you need now is the strength of the Chungling clan." ”

"Yes. After all, it was only by relying on them that I could build a real army, not just a group of assassins and killers to fight on the battlefield. Liu Xuan smiled: "So, what you have to do now is to tell them to be powerful and win their support for me." ”

"Good...... I'll do my best! Liu Xiu nodded heavily: "For my brother!" ”
