Chapter 53: Even nobles are flustered
There is no doubt that the Cui family is unwilling to accept the order to move the king's tomb.
"The King of Qin promulgated a bad government, so that the whole country resisted, we just need to work together......" Cui Min said softly, as if to comfort himself.
"But father, the Xiang family and the Yu family have already accepted the order to move the king's tomb and are ready to sell their property and move to Xianyang, the Xiang family is well-known in the world, in this case, will there really be anyone who will resist with us to the death?" Cui Jing frowned and spoke.
The First Emperor issued the Decree on the Relocation of the Tombs of the Princes, and the families who were on the lucky list of the Mausoleums of the Princes all chose tacit resistance and delay.
Cui Min contacted the family of the same illness as soon as he learned of the order to move the king's tomb, and everyone agreed to advance and retreat together.
However, the first defection of the Xiang family and the Yu family dealt a great blow to the will of the noble group to resist, and two of the masses took the lead in surrendering.
"Let's take one step at a time, it's really not good, and I can only migrate......" Cui Min really didn't have any good way.
Apart from hoping that the First Emperor would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and local resistance and compromise to withdraw the royal decree, there was only one way left.
Raise your troops!
Cui Min's third son, Cui Gong, is in charge of the county soldiers in Handan, and the Cui family is also the same in Handan, and the wealth accumulated in the family is incalculable, and the situation of the entire Handan County Government and even the county government and the officials Cui Family are clear, and it is not very difficult to raise troops.
But Cui Min didn't dare.
Moving to Xianyang may not necessarily die, but raising troops will definitely kill the clan and wipe out.
Even if there is any rebellion, it will only be temporary, and Cui Min still knows this.
"Is it possible, do you really want to move the clan?" Cui Min muttered slightly, his mind disorganized.
However, things went much faster than Cui Min expected......
Liu Bang was completely prepared, took out all the generals of the county soldiers related to the Cui family, and then led the troops to the treasury to fully arm.
After controlling the city gate and city wall defense, Liu Bang, Lu Xuan, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang went straight to Cui's house non-stop.
"The hosts! Big things are not good! Big things are not good! ”
Cui Min was in a state of melancholy when he overheard the hasty shouts of his subordinates at home.
"What's wrong? Don't panic, speak carefully! Cui Min was shocked when he heard this, but his face still did not show panic.
Seeing that the master was not flustered, the subordinate who came over took a big breath and opened his mouth in a panic: "Black ...... Someone is here at the Black Ice Terrace! ”
"Just now, Hei Bingtai sent someone to take the master's third son, used the tiger charm to control the county soldiers of Handan, forcibly broke into the treasury of Handan, released the subordinates and servants, and issued weapons to them, controlled the county guard mansion and the four city gates and city walls, and now the handsome county soldiers are coming home!" The subordinates' language was hurried, and their faces were eager.
The Cui family is naturally not only one Cui Gong in Handan.
Liu Bang's actions are indeed fast enough, but the movements are really not small, and it is impossible for no one to know about it and report it to Cui Min.
It's a pity that even if Cui Min knew, it wouldn't help.
Liu Bang has done the most important thing.
Take control of the county government, take away the military power, arm the soldiers, and control the city gates.
The Cui family has now become a real turtle in an urn!
"Zhao Zheng of the maidservant girl!"
Cui Min's eyes were split, he gritted his teeth, his thoughts were flying, and he realized a fact in horror!
Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, wants to kill the Cui family to set an example!
The Cui family has become the chicken that kills chickens and sets an example for monkeys!
"Quick! Go and gather the guest servants! Fast! Cui Min roared!
"Rush out of the gates! Rush out of the city gate to have a chance of life! ”
Now that the county government has been controlled by the Black Ice Terrace, and the county soldiers have also been controlled by the Black Ice Terrace, it is true that the Cui family has the ability and wealth to rebel, but the Cui family also needs to prepare.
If the Cui family is given time to collude with officials and private individuals to privately raise dead soldiers, then with the Cui family's wealth, power and reputation, it will not take a few years for the Cui family to subvert the entire Handan County.
But now time is of the essence.
Not everyone is as determined to restore the country as Xiang Liang, training the dead soldiers every year, and not forgetting to restore the country and oppose Qin for more than ten years.
In fact, the First Emperor was merciful to the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
In addition to restricting the format and number of weapons they wore to a certain extent, the First Emperor recognized the titles of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Yes, there are a considerable number of old nobles of the Six Kingdoms who have not been deprived of their titles, including the Cui family, including the Xiang family.
They only have to pay a small price to be able to save their family.
Therefore, in addition to raising hundreds of guests, the Cui family did not train any dead soldiers, nor did they train any soldiers and horses.
In Cui Min's opinion, this is completely unnecessary.
Privately training soldiers and horses, raising dead soldiers, isn't that a reality? The slightest carelessness is the death of the family, why bother?
What's the use of training hundreds of dead soldiers? Even if every dead soldier descended to the heavens, one dozen and five would not be enough for the Qin State to be destroyed.
As for if there is really a suitable time for rebellion, the Cui family can rely on the wealth and prestige they have accumulated to pull out a group of soldiers and horses in a short time.
Not to mention, Cui Min's third son, Cui Gong, is still the right lieutenant of Handan, in charge of the county soldiers.
Cui Gong was taken, which means that the largest armed force of the Cui family has been completely captured, and now it has become a tool of the enemy, and the other party has also released his subordinates and servants.
This made Cui Min realize that in Handan City, the Cui family was already a complete disadvantage, and it was a complete turtle in an urn.
Only by rushing out of Handan City can there be a glimmer of life.
Next, whether it is to return to the clan land to call on the clansmen to resist, or to hide incognito to avoid disasters through their own connections, as long as they can get out of Handan City, even the Black Ice Platform will not be able to find any trace of him.
The Black Ice Platform is only temporary, and the Cui family has been standing here for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Black Ice Platform is an outsider, and Qin is a tiger wolf!
Cui Min and Cui Jing, father and son, urgently began to gather the doormen and servants.
The Cui family's servants are not too many, and there are only about 300 people in total, not because the Cui family is too small, but because the Cui family's clan land is outside Handan City, and the mansion in Handan City is only a place for Cui Min's father and son to live and accommodate guests.
The main function of the mansion in Handan City is to support the doormen, but fortunately, there are not many doormen of the Cui family, more than 500 people.
There are rangers, there are rangers.
They accept the offerings of the Cui family and come to do things for the Cui family.
Their relationship with the Cui family is similar to that of employees and bosses, unlike servants and subordinates who are firmly bound to the Cui family.
Because of this, there is no strong restraint between the master and the slave, and the relationship between the lord and the guest is maintained entirely by personal morality and conventions.
So when the Cui family was in turmoil, some people were indignant, some people were about to split, some people were willing to die for the Cui family, and naturally some people chose not to say goodbye.
The Cui family has a total of more than 500 doormen, and after Cui Min and Cui Jing's father and son simply gathered, there were only more than 100 doormen with swords.
As for the rest, some fled while the chaos was in full swing, and some were out on errands or out to do something, and were not in the mansion now.
Under the urgent summoning, plus the servants and subordinates, there were only nearly 500 people in total.
"It's too late to elaborate, get in the car!"
Cui Min didn't bother to care about which guests didn't come, he hurriedly pulled his son Cui Jing into the car, and then urged the war horse to march!
Behind them, there was a mess of guards, some driving, some riding horses, some galloping, some with short swords, some with spears, some with bows and crossbows, and some with sticks and forks......
Time is too hasty, there is no time to get so many weapons and armor, the doormen who are offered are okay, most of the rangers are swordsmen these years, and the subordinates and servants can't get any weapons for a while, so they can only make do with short swords, and even have no weapons at all, so they can only temporarily replace them with farming tools.
"Father! Where to go! ”
Cui Jing lifted the reins and looked at his father.
"Which city gate is close to which city gate, the north gate, the north gate!" Cui Min was in a hurry mixed with a bit of panic!
When Cui Jing heard this, he immediately urged the chariot to move away!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
There are pedestrians on the street and there is no time to avoid them!
The men and horses of Wuyang Wuyang escorted Cui Min's father and son and rushed towards the North City Gate Pig.
"Quick! Faster! Cui Min kept urging.
"Father, there are no soldiers on the street, maybe it's too hasty, and the Black Ice Platform hasn't had time to defend the main road and the city gate......"
Cui Min didn't speak, just stared at the street with red eyes.
Chariots gallop, chickens and dogs jump!
Cui Min's eyes became more and more solemn and flustered!
There were no soldiers on the road, and although there were pedestrians, they were noticeably scarcer than usual, and everyone looked hurried......
Cui Min realized that the other party was likely to send someone to control the city gate and city wall as soon as possible!
Now, I am afraid that the north city gate, which is the farthest away from the county capital, and the Cui family, has also been occupied.
It's so fast!
There was simply no time to react, not even to run away!
"You get out of the car!" Cui Min pushed his son violently, and Cui Jing had a puzzled look on his face.
"Zhong, you are my most trusted doorman, now I am afraid that the city gate has been occupied by the lackeys of the King of Qin, I will lead people to storm the city gate, I am afraid that it has been more auspicious, while the lackeys of the King of Qin have not yet come to the city of Dasuo, please take my child to escape from other places and protect him."
Cui Min ignored his son's stunned expression, and just saluted seriously to one of the guests who followed the frame.
"Since I have enjoyed your offering, I am naturally willing to repay you with my life!" The bearded and vicious-looking ranger nodded seriously.
Then Zhong, who was full of flesh, looked at Cui Jing and said, "Now I have to wronged a noble person like you to drill a dog hole with me and go out of the city!" ”
After that, he invited Cui Jing to dismount!
"Father, since we want to go, let's go together!"
"Nonsense!"
"There are many people, I go with you, how many guests will accompany you, only if I go to attract the eyes and ears of the Black Ice Terrace, you will have a chance to go out of the city!"
After that, Cui Min ignored Cui Jing's plea, and went straight to the north gate with the servants and servants of the gate.
The carriage was speeding around, bypassing the streets, and the team behind Cui Min also became scattered, some people fell behind, some people were out of breath, and fortunately, the team did not disperse after all.
The Cui family used high money to support their customers, and used righteousness to restrain their morality and behavior, and now, after all, it still works.
Nobles must have followers.
And it is a follower who is willing to give his life for it, which is fundamentally different from Haoqiang.
The city gate has arrived!
However, the bad news is that it is similar to what Cui Min expected!
The gates are shut!
The gates are closed in broad daylight, and it is self-evident what it means.
Cui Min vigilantly led the team to stop!
Then he looked at the closed gates and the high walls.
Moment!
On the city wall, there were many bows and crossbows, and the soldiers leaned out neatly, aiming at Cui Min and his disciples with cold standard Qin crossbows.
If you take a few steps further, I'm afraid that in an instant, it will rain arrows!
Liu Bang poked his head out of the city wall with a smile, obviously occupying the numerical advantage but not moving, just smiled and looked at Cui Min, who had become a turtle in the urn.
Cui Min knew that he had become a complete turtle in an urn, and if nothing else, he might not be able to get out of this Handan.
He wanted to draw his sword and rush to kill several times, but he suppressed his impulse several times.
Liu Bang was not in a hurry, but he and Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others looked down at Cui Min and his doormen!
"Go back! Return to the mansion! ”
Cui Min gritted his teeth and led the doorman to turn around!
Unexpectedly, at the end of the street when I came, neat footsteps sounded.
Qin crossbow, it's still a cold Qin crossbow!
Dilemma!
The team of more than 500 people turned around, turned around again, and stood in place again, Cui Min raised his sword in a panic, his face was sad, and he stood in place, neither in front nor in the back!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Liu Bang waved his hand, and the soldiers on the city wall were ordered to release arrows.
The crossbow bolt fell in response, and Cui Min led the doorman back in a panic.
Unfortunately, the distance on the city wall was not enough, and it did not shoot people to cause any effective damage.
Liu Bang deliberately shot and played outside the range, but he also scared Cui Min enough.
"Vertical Zi'an dares to deceive me!"
Cui Min was still flustered, but there was no shortage of bloody people in his door, Liu Bang stood on the city wall with a smile, the color of the play was obvious, and some people were aggrieved and stepped forward with a sword.
Poof!
More than a dozen arrows were nailed to his body.
It's enough to rush up the distance yourself!
However, there is not only one bloody one, one person dies and someone comes out, and the panicked Cui Min has no time to stop it, but it is the spontaneous behavior of his doorman.
It's a pity that the blood will only be pierced by the cold crossbow arrows in the end, and the spreading blood will flow to Cui Min's feet, and he will clearly realize that he is certain to die when he sees the doorman sacrifice his life for himself.
It was the first time he had faced death.
"Even if he is in a mortal situation, he is still hesitant, and he is not even as good as his disciples, how can such a person be able to be a world?" Chen Sheng looked at the flustered Cui Min with a sneer on his face.
I don't know why, Chen Sheng's heart began to get a little excited!
But Cui Min's performance really made him angry!
"I'd like to see if this old dog still has any blood!"
After that, Chen Sheng lifted Cui Jing's bloody head and threw it straight down from the city wall!
