Chapter 10: Rebellion is a red face
Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
"There is such a beauty in the world!" When the emperor looked at the scroll in his hand, he couldn't help but admire, and at the same time, a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart: such a beauty is only worthy of me, but the bull's nose is robbing people on the street, which is really an unforgivable sin!
"Someone!" Li Longji's face was gloomy and he issued a holy decree: the demon road plundered the Yang family's daughter Yuhuan on the street, and the Tianxia state government immediately made every effort to check the whereabouts of the demon road, and killed him to save the Yang family's daughter Yuhuan.
When this holy decree spread to the world, the whole world was sensational, and then the people of the world talked about it, wondering why it was obviously a love story of a sword fairy and a mortal woman who fell in love with each other, but suddenly it became a drama of the demon road robbing the people's daughters?
Some discerning people quickly understood something, but most people couldn't understand it, so Zuo Xiaoyou, the handsome and chic, sought-after wine sword fairy, suddenly became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten. The reversal of right and wrong so quickly shows the terrible tone set by public opinion.
So when Zuo Xiaoyou and Yang Yuhuan played in Huaguo Mountain for more than half a year and returned to the secular world, the situation they faced was completely beyond their imagination.
Not long after the two entered the city, they were having lunch at the inn when they were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.
"Demon Dao! You robbed Miss Yang Family, the crime is unforgivable, hurry up and arrest you, maybe I can leave you a whole corpse! ”
Zuo Xiaoyou and Yang Yuhuan were stunned: What's the situation?
Although there were many of these soldiers, they couldn't stop Zuo Xiaoright after all, but Zuo Xiaoright didn't do it immediately, and asked the leader very restrainedly: "This general, I really love Miss Yang Jiaxia, how can I say that I rob him?" Did the general make a mistake? ”
"Humph!" The general who took the lead looked at Zuo Xiaoyou and Yang Yuhuan, and couldn't help but be impressed by the demeanor of the two, but it was a pity that he was eating a public meal, so he just obeyed orders, whether it was right or wrong: "Less nonsense!" Acquaintances hand over Miss Yang's family, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled, and the smile was very cold. Although he doesn't like to kill, but as a half-immortal who has achieved cultivation, being threatened by a group of mortals is absolutely intolerable to him, so he is no longer polite, and the sword of the Son of Heaven is unsheathed, turning into ten thousand sword lights, covering all the soldiers in the sword light, accompanied by bursts of screams, hundreds of soldiers are all covered with blood holes, and they die on the spot.
The people around were frightened, and in the blink of an eye, half of the lively market was gone.
"Husband." It was the first time for Yang Yuhuan to see Zuo Xiaoyou killing, although he was a little scared, but he was more proud: This is my husband, the husband who can protect me from harm.
"Are you afraid?" Left and right put the sword back into the sheath, and looked at her with a soft expression.
Yang Yuhuan shook her head again and again, holding her arm tightly: "With a husband, the concubine is not afraid of anything." ”
A touch of tenderness flashed in Zuo Xiaoright's eyes, and he said softly: "It seems that in the past few months since we left, some interesting changes have taken place in the world. After a pause: "You and I will change first, and then go to investigate this matter." ”
Yang Yuhuan nodded, and then turned himself into an ordinary-looking peasant woman, while Zuo Xiaoyou became a burly hunter with a bow and arrow. The two looked at each other, smiled, and left the place arm-in-arm.
……
"I didn't expect this to happen." In the guest room of an inn in another city, after Zuo Xiaoyou told Yang Yuhuan the news he had inquired about, Yang Yuhuan was suddenly angry: "The concubine and her husband fell in love at first sight, and they voluntarily left with their husbands. It's shameless! ”
Compared with Yang Yuhuan, Zuo Xiaoyou was much calmer, and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that today's saint, who made my wife so beautiful and fragrant, even if today's saint sees it, he will have an exclusive heart." ”
Yang Yuhuan's words made Yang Yuhuan red, and said shyly: "The husband is molesting the concubine again." ”
"It's not teasing." Zuo Xiaoyou reached out and hugged her soft waist, gently stroked her lower abdomen, and said with a blazing eye: "The husband is just telling the truth." ”
Yang Yuhuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and her neck and ears were red: "Husband...... It's still daytime! ”
Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled: "The husband just wants to hug his wife, and he won't mess around." ”
"Hmm." Yang Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little stunned, obviously, when the woman was full of excuses and said that she didn't want to, in fact, her inner thoughts were: If you must insist, I will half-push and half-obey you.
It's a pity that Zuo Xiaoyou's understanding of women's hearts is not deep enough, and he missed an opportunity to dazzle in the day.
However, Li Longji would actually give such an order and spread it all over the country, which is intolerable to the left and right. If it weren't for the fact that he was a cultivator, if he sneaked into the palace to assassinate Li Longji, he would definitely be punished by heaven.
The status of the Son of Heaven in the world is equivalent to the status of the Jade Emperor, but the life span of the Son of Heaven in the world is very short, and it cannot be compared with the Jade Emperor, but the status of the human emperor has its own luck protection.
So unless it's a stupid fork who doesn't want to live, no one will do such a thankless job. Of course, this is just a bondage to the gods and spirits, if it is an ordinary person who rebels and slashes the Son of Heaven, nothing will happen. On the contrary, because of his blade of the Son of Heaven, there is a great possibility of winning the breath of the Son of Heaven. With the spirit of the son of heaven, you have the qualification to compete for the world.
When Zuo Xiaoyou thought about cultivating a local power and overthrowing Li Tang's world, he suddenly felt his blood boiling, and even the Sword of the Son of Heaven let out a buzzing sound, obviously very excited.
Zuo Xiaoyou was stunned: "This feeling of whim, could it be ......" with a look of surprise on his face: "My way!?" ”
……
Historically, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline because Li Longji was mediocre in his later years, favored traitorous ministers, and reused An Lushan, which led to the Anshi Rebellion. Of course, there are also historians who believe that there is one more article to be added - pampering Yang Guifei.
It's really a husky, you own the country and can enjoy the beauty of the world, but if something happens, you have to push the responsibility on the woman, there is no man's responsibility at all, and it also highlights the low status of women in the feudal era. The meaning of a woman's existence is to give birth to a man, and then carry the black pot for the man when the man does something wrong.
Bao Xi is like this, Daji is like this, and Yang Yuhuan is like this. If modern people are asked to evaluate these women, they will get comments such as "not a man" and "bastard thing". I can't sit still, what's the matter with women? Pushing everything on women, what qualifications does this kind of man have to sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven?
It's just a pity for those who have lost their lives.
Now that Li Longji actually reversed black and white because he saw Yang Yuhuan's portrait, he wanted to put him to death, how could Zuo Xiaoyou spare him! What's more, he also found his own way on a whim because of this, so he will not show mercy to his subordinates.
A few days later, Zuo Xiaoyou took Yang Yuhuan to Shuzhou and settled here.
Shuzhou is where Yang Yuhuan lived when she was a child, and living here made her feel very cordial, but Zuo Xiaoyou brought her to Shuzhou this time not to enjoy life, but to find a base for rebellion.
Whether it is Zuo Xiaoyou snatching Yang Yuhuan, or Yang Yuhuan taking the initiative to marry Zuo Xiaoyou, the Yang family is the one who gets the benefits, whether Zuo Xiaoyou, the wine sword immortal, is stronger, or when today's son Li Longji is stronger, their Yang family can rely on Yang Yuhuan's identity to curry favor on both sides, and as a family, the dogma that eggs will never be put in one basket has existed for thousands of years, so when Zuo Xiaoyou came to the door with Yang Yuhuan, the Yang family learned that Zuo Xiaoyou planned to rebel. did not be a loyal minister and filial son, but sincerely gave money, food and people to help the left and the right to develop and grow.
Shuzhou is an important town in Yizhou, the Shu in Shu, the geographical location is very important, and because Yizhou is a basin, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as long as you master some key passes, you can firmly control the entire Yizhou in your own hands. Moreover, Yizhou is too close to Chang'an, if it can launch a surprise attack unnoticed, Chang'an is very likely to not wait for reinforcements and will be taken in a short time.
Out of this intention, Zuo Xiaoyou put the base in Shuzhou. Of course, as an idle person without a formal establishment, the best way to raise a rebel team as quickly as possible is to get the identity of a bandit, and then continue to rob passing merchants, plunder money and population, and wait for the government to suppress the bandits. Then, by defeating the official team, you can get the goal of rapid expansion.
With the Yang family, it only took one year for Zuo Xiaoyou to pull up a team of 50,000 bandits, and then after two years of training, he got 50,000 excellent special forces. Relying on these 50,000 special forces, Zuo Xiaoyou easily broke through the gate of Shuzhou and controlled the entire Shuzhou at the fastest speed.
Because Zuo Xiaoyou demanded that his team could not take a stitch from the people in accordance with the military discipline of the Red Army, the people of Shuzhou found that the bandit troops of Zuo Xiaoyou really never seemed to disturb the people, and there was a feeling that the army and the people were happy, and gradually became familiar with the officers and soldiers of the Zuojia army, and gradually formed a relationship between the army and the people, the people supporting the army, and the fish and water. In just one month, Zuo Xiaoyou controlled Shuzhou as solid as gold.
Later, Zuo Xiaoyou took Shuzhou as a base and successively took control of the entire Yizhou. Because the people of the Tang Dynasty have been comfortable for more than a hundred years, and Shu is not a frontier, the military discipline of the defenders is very loose, and the combat effectiveness is not very high, and therefore, it only took Zuo Xiaoyou to take the entire Yizhou in just three months, and suppressed those rebels very quickly, and at the same time did a lot of good things to fight local tyrants and divide the land, which was supported by the majority of Yizhou people, making the entire Yizhou quickly stabilized. Zuo Xiaoyou has completely controlled the military and political power in Yizhou.
Zuo Xiaoyou knew that in another twenty years, An Lushan would launch a rebellion, but in the more than 20 years before this, the Tang Dynasty was still very stable, and the timing of Zuo Xiaoyou's rebellion at this time was not good, and since he wanted to rebel, of course he was not good at using the power beyond the mundane, otherwise the people in the sky would definitely not watch the Tang Dynasty end.
Therefore, Zuo Xiaoyou was still a little nervous in his heart when facing the Tang Crusade Army. After all, the strength of the entire territory of Yizhou is only more than 100,000 so far, and the number of the crusading army is 500,000.
After learning about the situation through front-line intelligence, Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but sigh: "It's quite fast." ”
"Husband, do you want to go to the front line in person?" Yang Yuhuan asked worriedly.
"There is no choice for the husband." Zuo Xiaoyou picked her up, put it on his lap, and said softly: "If this battle is won, Yizhou will be all mine, if it is defeated, the hard work of the husband in the past few years will be ruined, no matter what, the husband will not let Li Longji have a good time." ”
Knowing that her husband was angry with Li Longji because of herself, Yang Yuhuan was worried in her heart, but she was also very happy. After all, what woman doesn't want a man to fight for herself! The more a man fights, the more she reveals the charm of a woman, which is the supreme compliment for a woman. It's just that...... It's just a little cruel.
"Husband, be careful." Yang Yuhuan's soft jade fingers gently stroked the left little right face: "The concubine is waiting for you to come back." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, and led his own soldiers straight to the front line.
Although there are 500,000 people in the imperial court's crusading army, Zuo Xiaoyou is really not very afraid, after all, Yizhou has a natural defense line, and one man should be a pass, let alone 500,000, even if one million comes, his 100,000 troops can block all the enemies in the future. What's more, the 50,000 special forces he has trained for two years are enough to deal with these 500,000 crusaders.
In two years, in addition to training these 50,000 special forces, Zuo Xiaoyou also collected a large number of alchemists to research and make gunpowder. Fang Shi was the first chemist in the world, and I believe that some of them must have mastered the method of making gunpowder, but because the ratio is not scientific enough, the success rate is not high.
Zuo Xiaoyou's guess was correct, after collecting more than 50 squares, Zuo Xiaoyou found six ways to make gunpowder, just because of the different proportions, the power of the explosion was also different.
Two years ago, Zuo Xiaoyou raised these more than 50 square soldiers, gave them money, food and things, and asked them to study the optimal ratio of gunpowder.
For the sake of rich rewards and a good life, these alchemists worked hard one by one, and in just two years, they made a powerful gunpowder. Although the power of gunpowder is still not very satisfying to Zuo Xiaoyou, in this era, it is already a very powerful super-era weapon.
At the time of this rebellion, Zuo Xiaoyou led 50,000 special forces to blast open the city gates of Yizhou with explosives bags, and easily seized control of Yizhou. And this time, Zuo Xiaoyou also prepared a large number of explosives packs, just to surprise the imperial crusading army and completely consolidate his control of Yizhou.
