The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time must be united. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, they had never heard of Liu Ye and Liu Yu in this sentence, otherwise they would have guessed Liu Xin's true words, so Liu Ye and Liu Yu didn't think so much for a while, and only thought that Liu Xin's words might be referring to a large-scale rebellion.

After all, people of insight in today's Han Dynasty believe that a serious rebellion will soon occur in the Han Dynasty, after all, this is also the trend of the times, especially in recent years, there have been a large number of natural disasters in Hebei and the central region, which have seriously affected grain production and reserves. It is very likely that there will be a large-scale rebellion in Dahan, and the momentum may far exceed that of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then.

However, Liu Yu and Liu Ye didn't care much about these peasant uprisings, because they both knew that the peasant uprising was just a beginning, because of the limitations of the peasant uprising, whether it was the number of soldiers and horses, weapons and equipment, the degree of coordination of the troops or the generals they led, they were definitely not as good as the official army, so the early stage of the peasant uprising may be a blow and the process is fast, but it will not take long for the peasant rebel army to decline in two and exhaust in three, and then it will be the time for the peasant rebel army to perish.

However, the defeat of the peasant rebel army did not mean the victory of the official army, because at this time, the real threat to overthrow a dynasty appeared, that is, those ambitious families, the local power.

These families, or local tycoons, have a good number and quality of private soldiers, and their generals are at least systematically trained, and they are often a city, a county with the highest prestige family, so they can instantly occupy a city, or even a county when they start an uprising, and become their base camp, and can easily recruit more troops from their base camp and get more grain and grass resources, which is an advantage that ordinary peasant rebel armies do not have, and these families and local powerful rebel armies can also easily gather the peasant rebel army, instantly strengthen their strength, and then either defend the city, or take the initiative to attack, flexible and changeable, unlike the peasant rebel army, can only choose to constantly attack the city to expand their living space, but they are also constantly consuming their own strength.

Therefore, Liu Ye and Liu Yu both believe that in the next few years, if the status quo of the Han Dynasty does not change much, or if there is another large-scale drought and locust plague, it is very likely that there will be a peasant uprising of the same scale, although the final result may be that the Han official army suppressed the peasant rebel army, but the subsequent rebellion launched by the family clan is the main event.

After all, although Liu Ye's family does not have real power in the local area, but because of the identity of the Han family, it has a great right to speak in the local area, so it can be said that as long as Liu Ye stands up and says a few words casually, the people and officials of the entire city will choose to follow him to launch a rebellion, and Liu Ye will be regarded as the leader of the rebel army at that time.

And although Liu Ye is young, he has a lot of knowledge, Liu Ye is very aware of the current situation in the Han Dynasty, the prestige of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is getting worse, and the control of those families is weakening day by day, if there is really a peasant uprising, there will definitely be families who choose to launch a rebellion at this point in time, especially those in the remote areas of the Han Dynasty.

And although Liu Ye is also thinking about whether he wants to participate in this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that it is unrealistic, after all, he is a member of the Han family, and if he launches a rebellion, then he will undoubtedly become a rising bird, a key target of the Han official army, and the first target to be eradicated, so Liu Ye does not dare to have such an idea.

Therefore, Liu Ye also understood why Liu Xin mentioned the general trend of the world, so Liu Ye asked Liu Xin tentatively: "Brother Ziji, there is a sentence I want to ask you, what do you think the general trend of the world will be today?" ”

When Liu Yu heard Liu Ye say this, his eyes also lit up, after all, Liu Yu was also very much looking forward to Liu Xin's answer.

Liu Xin smiled, naturally knowing that Liu Ye and Liu Yu had already taken the bait, so Liu Xin pretended to be mysterious and said: "Hehe, Brother Ziyang, you should have guessed it, today's Han can be said to be able to be described in these four words, that is, "the government forced the people to rebel", I have been collecting intelligence in this area since the first day I returned from the Western Regions, and I found that in the past few years, the Han has been plagued by natural disasters, and the disaster relief situation can only be described as better than nothing. And the local officials of Dahan not only did not reduce the burden of the people, but also continued to increase taxes, the people of Dahan have long been living in poverty, the anger of the people has reached a critical value, only need the last bit of help, then the people have to rebel, after all, these people do not rebel, they will not be able to live! ”

Liu Xin's words resonated with Liu Ye and Liu Yu, because Liu Ye and Liu Yu are very able to understand why Liu Xin said such a thing, because such a situation is no longer an exception in Dahan, and there is such a situation in Liu Xin's mouth in most areas of Dahan, so as Liu Xin said, the current Han people have reached the point where the officials force the people to rebel and the people have to rebel.

So Liu Ye and Liu Yu both nodded approvingly, and they couldn't deny Liu Xin's statement, but this was not the answer they wanted, so they continued to look at Liu Xin expectantly.

Liu Xin naturally knew what Liu Yu and Liu Ye were looking forward to, so Liu Xin shook his head with a smile and continued: "It seems that you all know that the current situation in the Han Dynasty is like a fire kang on the grassland, as long as a breeze blows, it is possible to blow a little spark to the grassland, and then it will be a spark and can set the prairie on fire, even if the people of a county town launch a rebellion, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction, causing the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty to launch rebellions large and small, And if I'm not mistaken, the main battlefield of this nationwide rebellion in the Han region will be in Hebei, because of the large population in Hebei, coupled with years of natural and man-made disasters, the people in Hebei have begun to be dissatisfied with the Han, at this time, only one person needs to stand up and fan the flames, and soon the people in Hebei will be encouraged to launch a rebellion, and the scale of the rebellion may even exceed one million! ”

Liu Xin's analysis is also reasonable and convincing, Liu Yu and Liu Ye nodded again thoughtfully, expressing their agreement with Liu Xin's idea, and Liu Yu also looked at Liu Xin thoughtfully, as if he had guessed who the "person who fanned the flames" in Liu Xin's mouth would be.

After all, today's Zhang Jiao in Hebei can be said to be known to everyone, no one knows, because the scale of Taiping Dao has already grown, and the number of believers in Taiping Dao has reached about one million.

Therefore, Liu Yu, who knows something about Zhang Jiao and Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao, has already determined in his heart that the "person who fanned the flames" in Liu Xin's mouth is Zhang Jiao, because as long as Zhang Jiao initiates a rebellion, the millions of believers in Taiping Dao will definitely respond to Yunqi, and even those people who do not believe in Taiping Dao will be coerced by these Taiping Dao believers, Liu Yu estimates that the number of rebels is likely to reach about 1.5 million, and the people and people in other regions will also choose to respond to Zhang Jiao's rebellion. There will also be rebellions under various pretexts, such as rebellions in the name of Zhang Jiao or Taiping Dao.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but gasp, after all, in Liu Yu's opinion, even if it was a large-scale peasant uprising in Dahan, the total number of people in the country should only be about one million, including the old, weak, sick and disabled non-combat personnel, but now that I look at it this way, the number of Zhang Jiao's wave of rebels is almost close to about 1.5 million, so the rest of the thirteen states of Dahan will add up to more than one million rebels, and this situation may be a little difficult to control.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu said to Liu Xin with a worried face: "Brother Ziqi, the person you are talking about is probably Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao." ”

Liu Xin didn't intend to hide these things, so he nodded decisively and said, "You're right, this person is Zhang Jiao." ”

The dialogue between Liu Xin and Liu Yu made Liu Ye a little confused, after all, it was still the same sentence, although the believers of Taiping Dao had begun to carry out missionary activities in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but there was not much news about Zhang Jiao on Liu Ye's side, so Liu Ye did not know much about Zhang Jiao's ability.

So, Liu Ye asked Liu Yu about Zhang Jiao's origin, and then he knew how powerful Zhang Jiao and Taiping Dao were, and Liu Ye finally understood the dialogue between Liu Yu and Liu Xin, this Zhang Jiao is definitely capable of causing a large-scale peasant uprising!

Therefore, Liu Ye sighed a little helplessly, and then said to Liu Xin, "Brother Ziji, can't we strike first and report this Zhang Jiao to Your Majesty, and eradicate Taiping Dao in advance, so as not to have such a large-scale rebellion, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time." ”

However, Liu Ye's suggestion, before Liu Xin could refuse, Liu Yu stood up and spoke first, "Brother Ziyang, you can't help but think that it is a little too simple, now Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao is already well-known in Hebei, and the people in Luoyang City who know Taiping Dao, especially those who are big families, have some knowledge of Taiping Dao, but they have not yet stood up to accuse Taiping Dao, and His Majesty only knows a scale armor for Taiping Dao, which shows that this Taiping Dao is not simple. Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao is very likely to have some contact with other forces, and these forces are willing to cover for Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao, so Taiping Dao has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and His Majesty has not reacted much to this, and someone has reported the situation of Taiping Dao to His Majesty a few years ago, but there is still nothing to do in Taiping Dao, but the gentleman who reported Taiping Dao was dismissed and exiled, so you should understand what I mean, Brother Ziyang. ”

Although Liu Ye is young, he still understands this bit of human sophistication very well, so Liu Ye quickly understood the darkness behind this matter, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Liu Xin also couldn't help but nodded, patted Liu Ye's shoulder and said: "Brother Ziyang, this is also the bane of the Han now, Your Majesty has been blinded by those chaotic ministers and thieves, so he has lost the ability to judge many things, so we don't have much to do with Taiping Dao now, firstly, Taiping Dao has not done anything out of the ordinary now, we want to deal with Taiping Dao, there are some unknown divisions, and secondly, the water behind Taiping Dao is very deep, and too many forces are involved. If you dig deeper, it can be said that it is constantly cut, and the reason is still messy, so now we have not much to do with Taiping Dao, we can only wait until Taiping Dao is exposed. ”

When Liu Xin said this, he suddenly changed his words and said to Liu Yu: "Brother Bo'an, you are going back to Youzhou as an official, I remember that Brother Bo'an, your area is not far from Julu City, where Zhang Jiao is located." ”

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yu nodded and said, "Brother Ziji, what you said is right, if you ride a horse to Julu City from the place where I took office, it will only take three or four days at most. ”

Liu Xin nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "That's okay, Brother Bo'an, after you take office in Youzhou, you must remember to find out all the Taiping Dao believers in the city, of course, Brother Bo'an can't dispose of these Taiping Dao believers too early, but you must monitor the Taiping Dao believers, because if I am not mistaken, Taiping Dao is most likely to take action next year, and if Taiping Dao wants to launch a rebellion at that time, it will inevitably contact the area around Julu to respond, so Brother Bo'an, you must pay attention to this." ”

Liu Yu nodded solemnly, because Liu Yu knew that what Liu Xin said was the truth, with the current influence of Taiping Dao in Hebei, the city he was about to take office might have been infiltrated by the believers of Taiping Dao a long time ago, and when Zhang Jiao launched a rebellion against Taiping Dao, it would be a big trouble.

However, Liu Yu thought about it carefully and found that he had forgotten one thing, that is, the rebel soldiers and horses of Taiping Dao were likely to reach one million, and it would not be his own small city to defend at that time...
