Chapter 187: Raising Troops

Last night, the heroes were full and drank until dawn. In the afternoon, everyone went up the mountain one after another to discuss the anti-Yuan plan. Poor, literate, rich and martial, most of the people who have a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes are born in rich and noble families, and they all have a certain influence in the local area. After negotiation, the heroes agreed to raise their own rebels against the Mongol Tartars. And because the division is weak and the cooperation is strong, and in order to prevent the competition for merit and self-fighting, the group of heroes selected a number of highly respected people to be responsible for coordinating the righteous armies in various places.

After the meeting, the heroes left Emei and returned to their hometowns to prepare to raise an army against the Yuan. When he returned to the top of the mountain, Ding Minjun suddenly said, "Senior Sister Zhou, what did you say to Zhang Wuji's kid when you sent the Demon Sect people down the mountain?" You can't just look at that kid and be handsome and have an interest in him, right? After the meeting, Zhou Zhiruo sent the Ming Sect down the mountain and talked with Zhang Wuji privately for a long time.

Zhou Zhiruo's face turned pale with anger, and said, "Sect Master Zhang ordered the scattered people to lead the Ming Sect Army, and he was in the middle of the dispatch. I advised him to personally lead the troops and take control of the troops, but he did not agree. Jing Xuan said: "Maybe it's because Sect Master Zhang doesn't know how to fight, so let people who can fight come to lead the troops!" After all, there are few characters who can fight. ”

Zhou Zhiruo sighed: "He said so too." But you can learn if you don't know how to fight! Who in the world is born to fight? I told him that among the rebels in the world, the Ming Sect was the most powerful. If she personally leads the troops and holds the military power, after the expulsion of the Tartars, he will have a great chance of ascending to the throne. If he refuses to lead the troops himself and does not have the power of the army in his hands, his chances of becoming emperor in the future are very small. As a result, he said that he did not want to be emperor. Zhou Zhiruo looked sorry and shook her head.

Ding Minjun sneered again: "Senior Sister Zhou, why do you care so much about whether this kid surnamed Zhang can be the emperor?" Do you want to be his queen? Zhou Zhiruo was so angry that her whole body trembled.

Xiang Yan hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Ding, you misunderstood Senior Sister Zhou. The Ming Sect Army is divided into five routes, and the commanders of the Five Paths Rebel Army have equal status, while Sect Leader Zhang is the co-leader of the Ming Sect. If Sect Master Zhang becomes the emperor after the expulsion of the Tartars, no one can compete with the commander of the Five Paths Righteous Army, and the world can be peaceful. If Sect Leader Zhang is not the emperor, the five commanders will compete with each other for the throne, and the world will not know how long it will last. Senior Sister Zhou's persuasion of Sect Master Zhang to become the emperor is also for the sake of the people of the world. ”

Ding Minjun sneered: "Senior Brother Xiang, you are so flattering to Senior Sister Zhou, do you think it is ......" At this time, the exterminator came over after sending Wu Xia down the mountain, Ding Minjun didn't dare to say more, but just glared at Xiang Yan fiercely.

The exterminator took all the disciples back to the main hall. Zhou Zhiruo said: "Master, if there are changes today, this faction has the important task of leading the Sichuan heroes against the Yuan. The disciple's talent is limited and he can't take on this heavy responsibility, so I ask the master to continue to serve as the head of this sect for the sake of the people of the world and lead us to oppose the Yuan. All the disciples said in unison: "Please Master, for the sake of the people of the world, continue to serve as the head of this sect and lead us to oppose the Yuan." ”

The exterminator stared at Zhou Zhiruo for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." I will be the head of this faction first, and your succession to the head will be postponed for the time being! All the disciples were beaming with joy. Xiang Yan sighed in his heart: "If Zhou Zhi is really a failure, no one in the entire Emei wants her to be the head." ”

According to the agreement of the martial arts conference, the Emei faction was responsible for leading the rebel army in Sichuan. The exterminator is too to distribute all the disciples, or organize the rebel army, or supervise the army and other rebel armies.

On this day, the exterminator called Zhou Zhiruo and Xiang Yan and said, "Yang Ping recruited 5,000 righteous troops in Xipingzhai and prepared to attack Chongqing. I got the news that both Ha Ma and Wan were recruiting soldiers and horses in Chongqing, and there were not many people around them. The two of you go to Chongqing to assassinate Ha Ma Bald and Wan Zhedu, assist Yang Han in conquering Chongqing, and contact the rebel army from all walks of life to recover Sichuan together. ”

Yang Han is a native of Chenzhou, Huguang Province, when he was young, he wanted to worship Wudang, Wudang accepted apprentices very strictly, and refused to accept Yang Han to get started, and later Shaolin also refused to include Yang Han, Yang Han turned his head to worship the extermination master Tai as a teacher. The Yang family is the head snake of Chenzhou, and Yang Han was ordered by the extermination master to return to Chenzhou to organize the rebel army. Yang Han persuaded the elders of the family to send the Yang family and the family into an army, and scattered all the family wealth to recruit fellow villagers to join the army, and organized a 5,000-strong rebel army to advance to Sichuan. The rebel army organized by Yang Han was the largest among the various rebel armies under the jurisdiction of Emei.

Mingjiao Han Shantong occupied the Central Plains, the power was great, the court sent troops from nearby provinces to besiege Han Shantong, the main force of the Sichuan Yuan soldiers exhausted, so the defense was empty, so the Ha Ma Bald and the complete were all recruited in Chongqing. However, the terrain of Chongqing is dangerous, and no matter how empty the defense is, it will definitely not be captured by 5,000 people. What's more, the three kings of Mingjiao Bu and Meng Haima raised troops in the Jingxiang area, and they even went to Chongqing from time to time to fight the autumn breeze, thinking that the Chongqing Yuan soldiers would not relax their defense of the east.

Yang Han did not dare to attack Chongqing, so he subordinated his troops to Xipingzhai on the other side of the Yangtze River, confronted Chongqing across the river, and asked Emei for helpβ€”both Ha Ma Bald and Wan were officials sent to Chongqing by Sichuan Province, and their status was higher than that of local officials in Chongqing. If these two men can be assassinated, Chongqing officialdom will surely fall into chaos - the officials in Chongqing have not protected the leaders sent by the province and cannot be said to be innocent - Xing may take the opportunity to lure them down.

The rebel army under the jurisdiction of Emei has thirteen roads, with a total of more than 30,000 people. As long as Yang Han conquers Chongqing and then unites with the rebels from all walks of life, it is not impossible to recover Sichuan.
