In the Banzhou area, whether they are familiar with Hou Chang or not, everyone knows that he is an extremely calm and moody person. Even if he has a deep hatred www.biquge.info for someone, he will not show the slightest murderous intent when he uses his hands to eradicate the other party, and in the same way, even if he hears the most shocking news, he will only have a warm smile on his face all the time, as if everything is under his control.

Yang Yinglong once said more than once in front of everyone and Hou Chang that if someone or something can make him angry or surprised one day, it means that this will inevitably become a major event that will shake the entire southwest, and even the Ming Dynasty and the opposition.

And today, when he heard Xu Jinghong, who suddenly came to visit, say such a sentence, Hou Chang's body sitting on the chair trembled violently, and his face, which had been only smiling, so that people couldn't see through his thoughts, also showed a surprise that had almost never appeared at this moment: "Is this true? Even his voice seemed to tremble a little, and after asking, he stared at Xu Jinghong's old face, trying to see something from the other party's expression.

Xu Jinghong nodded solemnly: "This kind of thing, the old man doesn't dare to talk about it in front of your manager." ”

"What the hell is this...... Where did the opportunity come from? After taking a big breath to calm himself down quickly, Hou Chang asked eagerly.

"Guilin." Xu Jinghong didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said with a strange light in his eyes: "News has been sent back from my sect, and in the near future, there will be a big event in Guangxi, and the Miao Zhuang and other clans over there will attack Guilin City." Steward Hou, do you think that once there is really chaos in Guangxi, Yang Tusi will miss such a great opportunity? ”

"Guilin?" Hou Chang muttered and repeated, and then said in disbelief: "How is this possible, although the people over there are complicated, it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult for them to get into trouble." ”

Hou Chang still has a good understanding of the situation in the southwestern provinces, and is well aware of the characteristics of the various ethnic groups in Guilin. Unlike Banzhou and Sichuan provinces, which all respect the Yang family, as long as Yang Yinglong rebels against the flag, he can command the entire region, not to mention that all ethnic groups live there, and several big toasts are always suspicious of each other, it is difficult to achieve unity, why did they suddenly work together, and they did such an earth-shattering thing?

"Could it be that he's tricking me? Do you want me to come forward and convince my lord to raise an army? "Xu Jinghong lobbied Yang Yinglong unsuccessfully before, and Hou Chang, as the chief manager, is naturally very clear. But soon, he dispelled this idea again, how could such a big thing be faked? Although the White Lotus Sect was able to get news faster than them for some reason, it wouldn't take long for them to know if it was really happening, and if there was really a rebellion in Guilin. If there is no definite news, neither he nor the master can take action.

Seeing the other party's eyes flickering, Xu Jinghong also guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "The reason is very simple, because Guilin's Liuguan Yamen has attacked those toasts in the city. Not only did he kill hundreds of them, but he also arrested them and their families, and put them in prison. Steward Hou, do you think that after such a thing, what choice can the owners or heads of various ethnic groups in Guilin do? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Hou Chang was stunned again, and then saw a hint of smugness from the depths of Xu Jinghong's eyes. Suddenly, he guessed the reason, it seems that this White Lotus Sect Master is more anxious than himself to disturb the situation in the southwest, for this purpose, he even caused some trouble in Guilin, so that the various clans and the government over there have become mortal enemies.

Thinking that the White Lotus Sect had this ability to completely disrupt Guilin, Hou Chang was slightly stunned in his heart, but he didn't see the slightest hint of vigilance on his face, but laughed: "I see, it seems that even God is helping us this time." The chaos in Guilin is bound to implicate many people, and the whole of Guangxi is likely to fall into chaos at that time, and this is indeed a great opportunity for us to get into trouble! "Although the White Lotus Sect needs to be on guard, at least for now, they are on the same side as their own family, and the more chaos these people can cause, the more beneficial it will be for this big event!

After a pause, he looked at Xu Jinghong again and said, "Thank you Sect Leader Xu for coming to tell me such news, and I know what to do next." As long as the matter is true, I will do everything I can to convince him to raise an army. Hou Chang believes that as long as Guangxi is really completely chaotic, with Yang Yinglong's vision and courage, he will never miss such an opportunity.

As if he saw his thoughts, Xu Jinghong also smiled: "This opportunity is indeed extremely rare, not only Guilin, soon, there will be all kinds of rebellions in Guangxi, and at that time, the whole Guangxi will not be peaceful, this is the perfect time for Yang Tusi to show his strength and take the entire southwest into his pocket in one fell swoop." I hope that Steward Hou can plan for the great cause of Tusi, and he must try his best to convince him. ”

"Definitely!" Hou Chang solemnly clenched his fists and said, and then stood up again: "Since the matter is serious, I will go to see the master and explain the benefits to him." He is indeed a little uncontrollable, his ideals for many years are about to unfold, and no matter how deep his city is, he can't wait.

Xu Jinghong naturally wouldn't stop him, and he also threw his hand at the other party, but he was even more proud in his heart. As long as Yang Yinglong is in trouble, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi, which is already in turmoil, will be in trouble at the same time, and his plan to chaos in the world based on many Miao Zhuang soldiers in the southwest can be regarded as the most solid first step.

Xu was confident in his plans, but he was all based on the premise that the rebels would be able to take Guilin, the most important city in Guangxi, as quickly as possible.

As a sect leader Xu Da, who has been active in Guangxi for many years and knows every city and mountain here, it is not difficult for Guilin to be conquered by those Miao Zhuang soldiers. After all, in his eyes, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court in Guangxi were really nothing, and there were still a large number of people of all ethnic groups in the city who could be exploited, and this rebellion would be a considerable victory in the short term.

But in fact, it is obvious that it has not been possible to play out according to Xu Jinghong's script, and the officers and men of Guangxi will greatly surprise him this time, at least when the rebellion actually appears, they will show surprising combat effectiveness.

On June 13, just after midnight, a red sun had slowly risen from the east, and the feeling of hot flashes had once again descended on the city of Guilin.

However, for the officers and soldiers standing at the head of the city, this change in climate was not in their consideration at all, and they were more concerned about when the fierce enemy outside the city would launch the next round of attacks.

That's right, today is the third day that Guilin City has been besieged by the Miao Zhuang and other local soldiers who suddenly rebelled. In the first two days, the city of Guilin blocked nearly ten rounds of attacks from these native soldiers who came from a radius of hundreds of miles around and gathered in one place.

At this moment, if you stand on the edge of the city wall and look down, you can see all kinds of weapons made of bamboo, wood or steel scattered on the ground, as well as the corpses of soldiers wearing the battle clothes of various tribes lying in the middle. This was the result of the rebels outside the city taking advantage of the night to remove most of the corpses after dark, otherwise the corpses of nearly a thousand native soldiers who died under various defensive weapons due to the siege of the city in the past two days alone would have covered a large area of open space outside the city.

But even though the corpses were dragged away, the blood that flowed down from their bodies was not taken away, which made the land outside the city dyed scarlet, and some of the blood that gathered together and slowly flowed into the moat around Guilin City, making the river show a bit of heart-palpitating red.

Looking at all this, even if the soldiers defending the city were not too damaged in these battles, their faces still showed a look of fear. It was the fear of unknown death, the fear of the coming new round of offensive and defensive battles.

In the final analysis, these officers and soldiers are not the kind of elite soldiers in the north who have been tempered by countless times of blood and fire, they are just a group of new soldiers who have kept their duties before and have just entered the battlefield, which makes them have an inexplicable fear of war from the bottom of their hearts.

But when the fierce native soldiers slaughtered Guilin and were about to slaughter the people in the city, they still stood up and stood here, using all the weapons they could use to stop the rebels.

"It's dawn again, when will the next round of attacks begin?" A young soldier who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old said softly.

"It's coming soon, but you have to believe that as long as we stick to our posts and use these bows and crossbows to resist, we will definitely be able to beat these thieves back." A calm and solid voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and a handsome young man, accompanied by an official and a general, slowly ascended to the top of the city.

The young soldier was shocked at first, and then his face showed reverence, looked at the young man, and promised loudly: "The little one understands, and the little one will do his best to stay here." ”

All the soldiers quickly perked up at this moment, and they looked at this young man with the same admiration and fanaticism as the man before, and they were convinced that as long as this man was by their side, the city of Guilin would never be breached by those rebels.

In the past two days, he has been running around the city, accompanying the soldiers to defend the city, showing great strength, and has killed the rebels who will board the city dozens of times, so that the enemy's offensive is forced to stop.

It was this heroic performance that made Yang Zhen remembered by the soldiers defending the city and became their patron saint in just two days.

Just as he stood still and looked out of the city, a heart-pounding drum and trumpet beat rang out from the rebel camp a few miles away......
