Volume 2 Xiangjiang River Goes North Chapter 2 Preparation for War (2)

In the study, there are several oil lamps lit. Under the light, Ou Kang was helping Ou Xing treat his wounds. Ou Le, who was on the side, held a pen and paper in his hand, and asked while writing records:

"Shaojun, are you suspicious of District Three?"

"No, Ah San is our brother, I believe in him. Hiss~ However, I think there are many doubts about the news delivered by Ah San, and they still need to be identified. ”

As for the death of the person, the clansmen were slaughtered for no reason in the county, and the Ou clan was framed for rebellion, and there was a fear of annihilation. This string of unexpected news almost instantly shocked Ou Xing's brain into a mess.

Under the combined effect of many negative emotions such as grief, sadness, and anger, when the highly nervous Ou Xing clenched his right fist, he pierced his nails and even the front of his fingers into his palm.

The severe pain made Ou Xing wake up from his ignorance. The main purpose of the orders he issued at the first time, and the tasks assigned to the militia and horse teams in the clan, was to find something to do for the most excited part of the clan, so that they could control their emotions in the busyness and ensure the stability of the internal order of Ou Jiachong.

After calming the agitated clansmen and mobilizing them with an urgent order, Ou Xing finally won a little space to try to calm down and analyze the problem carefully.

Ou Kang and Ou Le, who had previously been brought to Tian Cao by Ou Xing, temporarily separated from Ou Jiachong's internal job system. So, in the first wave of orders from Ou Xing, the two of them did not receive the task and were temporarily idle.

This is not an oversight - the two brothers were specially left behind by Ou Xing - they are Ou Xing's most trusted companions in this life.

The wound on Ou Xing's right hand was very shallow, only about half a centimeter. Theoretically, this should not be sufficient to provide sufficient anaerobic conditions for Clostridium tetani.

Therefore, Ou Xing instructed Ou Kang to clean his wound with soapy water and water, and then bandage it after alternating it for a quarter of an hour.

While dealing with the wound, Ou Xing explained his doubts - Dong Yi colluded with Luo to attack Ou Xing, how could he let Ou Xing go? besieging the drunken immortal residence and other district industries in the county seat, why didn't they take action after closing the city gate? I shared it with the brothers.

"What does Shaojun mean that Ah San has been deceived?"

"Maybe yes. Perhaps, it's just that Ah San was deceived by the appearance of complex events and read erroneous, or deviated from the facts. ”

Speaking of this, Ou Xing paused for a moment, and subconsciously pushed his non-existent glasses with his fingers before continuing:

"Xiuchang, you remember."

"Drunken Immortal Residence was besieged by the Luo clan and the light heroes and scoundrels in the county, this information is what Ah San saw with his own eyes."

"Big ~ The old man was killed by the ambush soldiers of the county order in the county office, and other district clan industries in the city were besieged and killed, this information was heard by Ah San from the Luo clan people and light heroes who besieged the drunken immortal residence."

"Luo and the county order colluded, this information was conjectured by Ah San based on the above information."

"Did you write it down?"

"Yu Shaojun, I remember everything." Ou Le replied as he struggled to write, "But I haven't finished transcribing it yet." ”

The bandaging of his right hand had been completed, and Ou Xing motioned for Ou Kang to move the oil lamp in front of him to Ou Le's case.

"No, let's go out." Ou Le refused, "My eyes are good, I can see clearly." It's too extravagant and wasteful to light so many lights. ”

Ou Kang looked back at Ou Xing, but saw Ou Xing waving his hand at him.

"Keep it, it's not bad for the lamp oil money. If the light is not good, it is easy to hurt your eyes, so don't become myopic like me. ”

"Yui." The brothers responded in unison.

"Shaojun," after the transcription was finished, Ou Le looked up and asked, "Is the most important thing at the moment to find out the truth of the matter?" ”

Ou Xing shook his head.

"What the truth is, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out for a while. The eldest brother has already taken someone to the county seat to investigate and understand the situation. As long as more useful information can be obtained, this is enough. ”

"You remember."

"The most important thing at the moment, externally, is to distinguish friend from foe."

"Whoever strikes our people in the county town is our enemy; Whoever has helped the people in the county is our friend. ”

"Except for clear enemies and clear friends, the rest are temporarily divided into centrists."

"Internally, the most important thing at the moment is to unify the thinking of the whole clan and unite the strength of the people."

Ou Xing stopped, waiting for Ou Le to transcribe the record. At this time, Ou Kang interjected and asked:

"Shaojun, what thoughts should be unified?"

"Good question!" Ou Xing nodded in approval, "Quartet, let me ask you a question first, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Yu Shaojun, I didn't think about it before, but now I think about it."

"Why didn't you think about it before, and why do you want to rebel now?"

"With Shaojun, life is getting better and better, so I didn't think about rebellion. However, today Roche and the county magistrate treat us like this, is it tolerable or unbearable! So, I thought the opposite. ”

Seeing that Ou Le stopped writing, probably because the previous words had been transcribed, Ou Xing asked Ou Le again:

"Xiuchang, do you want to rebel?"

"Yu Shaojun, I've always wanted to rebel."

"Why?"

"The young monarch is in charge, and the life of the clan is getting better day by day. If Shaojun is the home of a county, a county, a state or even the world, then the life of the county, county, state and even the world will be better and better. If the people in charge of counties, counties, states, and the world refuse to give way to the young king, it will be against him. ”

Ou Xing glanced at Ou Le, and stopped talking. After a pause, he asked:

"Do you think the people want to rebel?"

"As long as Shaojun raises his arms and exhales," Ou Le put down his dipping pen and rubbed his hands, "announcing a rebellion, the clansmen will definitely respond positively." ”

"Uh-huh," Ou Kang nodded repeatedly, "Fang Cai, aren't all the clansmen eager to rebel?" ”

"Knock knock," Ou Xing knocked on the table, "Quartet, Xiuchang, don't be swayed by emotions to think and judge." This is typical survivorship bias. ”

"The first time I gathered in my courtyard to express my stance was the most radical part of the clan. My house is not Weiyang Palace, the courtyard is so big, how many people can stand? ”

"There are more than 15,000 people in more than 3,000 households in Ou Jiachong, and among the silent majority of the people who did not gather in my courtyard at the first time, how many of them want to rebel, how many dare to rebel, and how many want to rebel and dare to rebel, have you two investigated?"

"Tomorrow, I'll investigate!" Au Le high-fives with a boxer.

"This is not the point," Ou Xing waved his hand, "You can just take it with you and do itβ€”I have important matters for you two brothers." ”

"Yui." Ou Kang and Ou Le leaned over to answer the order.

"The Ou family has passed 30 years of peace, and in recent years, life has been particularly good."

"Shaojun is starting to be in charge! Of course, life is good. Au Le interjected with a rainbow fart.

Ou Xing ignored him and continued to analyze:

"As long as the harvest exceeds the drought and flood guarantee, and there is a slight surplus of food and drink, the yeoman farmer is prone to feel rich. The small peasant consciousness of the clansmen who are small and prosperous must be taken seriously. ”

"Xiuchang, you remember."

"If no one offends me, I will not offend; If anyone sins against me, I will offend. This is the first idea to unify the whole race. ”

"Xiuchang, you find out the income data of Zuixianju and department stores, and the dividend data of each household in the clan, and then find out the handicraft income and dividend data of all the handicraft workshops owned by the family, such as wine shops, tooth shops, soap shops, etc."

"Tell everyone how big the loss is for the whole family and each family this time. If we can't respond with heavy punches in the face of the enemy's attack this time, then we are telling the enemy and the potential enemies of the center that Ou is weak and can be bullied. Next, whether it is the clan or every family, there will be more to lose! ”

"Fight with one punch, lest a hundred blows come. Only by giving the enemy a swift retaliation can we deter the enemy and potential enemies in the center to a limited extent, and Ou Jiachong's current 'little luck' life can continue. ”

"One punch can't be opened, and a hundred punches will follow. This time, if the Ou family retreats, or because we ourselves are not united enough and not strong enough to fight back, then after the drunken immortal residence and department stores, we will lose even more, and the clansmen will soon be driven to the poor mountains and bad waters to dig up the soil and eat! ”

"Understood!" Ou Le wrote hard, and Ou Kang was thoughtful.

"We are raising troops for revenge, not rebellion. This is the second idea to unify the whole race. ”

"If it is a rebellion - according to the law, the crime of treason, the three tribes. The great crime of rebellion, parents, wives, and the same property all abandoned the market. ”

"If it is revenge - the Father's Father, Buddha and the heavens. Brothers do not fight back. This is the teaching of the saint in the Book of Rites. Follow the teachings of the saints to take revenge, do the right way, and have merit and no sin. ”

"We must do a good job of propaganda work, eliminate the psychological pressure of clansmen, friends, and potential friends in the center, and unite the strength of the people."

"But," Ou Le looked up and asked, "What if the county magistrate did collude with the Luo clan and participated in the slaughter of the old man and the clansmen?" ”

"Xiu Chang, I understand what you mean - killing an official must be a rebellion."

"That~"

"It's okay," Ou Xing raised his hand to stop Ou Le, "Do a good job of propaganda, Ou will raise troops to take revenge, and will not rebel." The county order is the official of the imperial court, representing the authority of the court and the Son of Heaven, and he will not be wrong - he is deceived by the local traitors. ”

"The Ou clan raised an army, which is revenge, not rebellion. It is to get rid of the villain who blinded the county order, not to target the county commander Dong Gong. The Ou clan will not kill the officials of the imperial court, if there is an accident...... That was also an accident. ”

"Those who conspire against each other must be beheaded, and their parents, wives, and fellow property will all abandon the market" - "The Two-Year Law"
