Chapter 137 Xu Xuanwu’s rebellion
"General, the time has come!"
Nanyue County, Longxiang Army Barracks.
Li Wenyou walked quickly and said to Xu Xuanwu who was sitting in the main seat.
"Oh? What does Wen He mean?"
"Rebellion! It's all rebellion!"
Li Wenyou said excitedly: "More than half of the thirteen states in Dayu have rebelled!"
"The vassals, aristocratic families, and sects from all over the world have all rebelled!"
"The Emperor of Dayu actually disregarded the interests of his family and sect and blatantly implemented Wang Anshi's reforms. He wanted to clean up the country's cultivated land, redistribute it, and even take it as national property."
"The most important thing is that he actually collects taxes from officials, businessmen and vassal kings! This is an unprecedented strategy. Emperor Zhengyong's actions have pushed all officials and aristocratic families to the opposite side!"
Li Wenyou gasped and said: "We didn't send many spies to the capital, and there were rebels from all over the road. It was not easy to get the news back."
"These news are already from a month ago. The situation in Beijing and Dayu must be even more corrupt now."
"My subordinates guess that at least half of Emperor Zhengyong's officials have escaped, and even all the ministers in the cabinet will definitely escape."
"Those cabinet ministers are all representatives of aristocratic families, hahaha..."
"God is really helping me!"
Xu Xuanwu frowned and said: "Then Emperor Zhengyong is really so careless? He actually dares to touch aristocratic families and officials and collect taxes from them. This is unheard of!"
"I think he is crazy!"
Li Wenyou gritted his teeth and said: "An official is a scholar, and he is the arm that helps him govern the world. How can he have the courtesy to collect taxes from officials?"
"Now most of the thirteen states of Dayu have rebelled, and local officials are completely unable to stop it. Now some princes have occupied one state."
"General! We have to speed up, otherwise other princes will seize the favorable terrain and cities first, which will be very disadvantageous for us!"
Xu Xuanwu breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It is indeed time. It has been half a year since I advanced to Xiantian. Now my cultivation has been stabilized. It is time to go out."
"What's Wenhe's plan?"
Li Wenyou immediately walked to the map and said: "General, please see, our army is currently stationed in Nanyue County, located on the southwest border of Dayu and bordering Nanzhao Kingdom."
"Nanzhao Kingdom has been conquered by the general. He is even willing to marry the princess of the country to you and recruit you as the son-in-law of Nanzhao Kingdom. Why not accept it, general?"
Xu Xuanwu frowned and said: "I only love Yuechan. Besides, I have never met the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom. I heard that she has been a tuberculosis since she was a child. Why should I marry her?"
"The general is confused!"
Li Wenyou said: "Although Nanzhao is only a small country, it has an army of 300,000 and a population of millions. If you become the son-in-law of Nanzhao, when the king of Nanzhao dies, you still have a chance to become Nanzhao. From the King of Zhao!”
"The territory of Nanzhao is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has tall trees and dense forests. It is a natural fortress."
"Taking a step back, we have 200,000 troops under our command. If we combine Nanzhao's 300,000 troops, we will have 500,000 troops under our command!"
"With this army of 500,000, the general is the most powerful prince in Dayu!"
"As for the princess of Nanzhao? Can she control the general? All we want is a name!"
Xu Xuanwu breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally shook his head and said: "If this happens again..."
"General!"
Li Wenyou once again warned: "If you achieve great things, why bother caring about these little details?"
"When the general accomplishes great things, competes in the Central Plains, and ascends to the great treasure, then just enshrine Miss Yuechan as the queen."
"What's more, why should a man have no wife? With Nanzhao's 300,000-strong army, the whole world is at his fingertips!"
"In this case... then let's leave it to gentleness."
Xu Xuanwu finally shook his head and said: "As long as Nanzhao surrenders their frontier military power and fights for me, I will marry the princess of Nanzhao."
"The general is wise!"
"There is also gentleness. How should we act at this stage?"
Li Wenyou immediately said: "It's very simple. Our Nanyue County is located in the southwest and is surrounded by Yuezhou and Yunzhou. The top priority is to mobilize all the troops and divide into two groups to invade Yuezhou and Yunzhou!"
"The commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, Shi Heilang, is on an expedition, and Yuezhou is empty. The princes within the territory are Shi Heilang's father, Shi Tianlang, who is nicknamed 'General Tianlang'. He leads his tribe to rebel against Yu. Even Shi Heilang was His father called him back."
"But because of the constant dispute between Shi Tianlang and Shi Heilang, their troops were divided into two. You, the general, will personally lead the Longxiang Army to invade Yuezhou. It can be determined day or night."
"As for Yunzhou, just leave it to General Heishi of the Heiyue tribe."
Li Wenyou said: "Miao Xiu, the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou, is currently guarding Yongzhou. The largest rebel force within the territory is Wuliangdong, a local sect in Yunzhou."
"As long as we recognize their sect status and their occupation of land, we can win them over and even recruit them as our subordinates to fight for the world for you, general."
"There are many sect warriors in various places, but they are not organized. We are waiting for an army of 200,000 to suppress the territory. If we don't want the whole clan to be wiped out, we will have no choice but to surrender to us!"
"The troops were divided into two groups..."
Xu Xuanwu murmured: "What about the Baiyue people?"
"Just imprison the high priest."
Li Wenyou said softly: "The Black Yue and the White Yue are originally the same clan, and they are only fighting for the upper echelons of the two clans. As long as the Bai Yue clan's high priest and a group of people are imprisoned, the Bai Yue clan can be smoothly integrated into the Black Yue clan. .”
"In this way, the general has a large army of Nanzhao and a large army of Heiyue under his command, and major events can be decided."
"At the worst, he will seize the southwest of Da Yu, establish his own kingdom, and become the master of a country!"
"Hahahaha, okay!"
Xu Xuanwu laughed and said: "This general is talented in literature and is even more powerful than a tiger!"
"Wen You will set all plans, and all the troops in our army will be dispatched by you."
"When this general achieves great things, I will give him the title of Prime Minister!"
"Thank you, General!"
Li Wenyou said excitedly, but his eyes were a little cold.
"By the way, General, there are two things to do before the incident."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"The first thing is to strangle the Jinyi guards and Dayu spies in Nanyue County. Kill them all!"
"Simple, you take my general's token and lead my own soldiers to encircle and suppress you!"
"The second thing is to rebuild Nanyue County and the three major passes of Yunzhou and Yuezhou."
"These three major passes were destroyed forty years ago when Emperor Tianqi conquered South Vietnam, and they have never been repaired for so many years. Now that we are going to take action, we must first repair these three major passes, and we must repair them better than before. More powerful.”
Li Wenyou pointed to the three junctions between Nanyue County and Yunzhou and Yuezhou and said: "In this way, we can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat. A great thing is done."
"Okay, everything will be decided by Wen Youqian!"
It's night.
A scream suddenly woke up Nanyue County.
The county seat of Nanyue County is a new city, built when Dayu captured Nanyue County forty years ago.
Because the time was short, Nanyue County did not have a tall city wall, just a fist of earth walls, and the residential houses in the city were also simple bluestone houses.
Groups of Longxiang troops and soldiers roamed the streets and alleys, purposefully rushing towards several strongholds in the city and killing them without hesitation.
"Ah!"
"It's killing! It's killing!" "Longxiang's army is clearing out the rebellious spies, and ordinary people are not allowed to go out!"
"The Longxiang Army eliminates rebellious spies and ordinary people are not allowed to go out!"
The shouts kept coming, and most of the ordinary people in the city were hiding in their rooms fearfully, not daring to come forward.
But those spies from Dayu or other forces were unlucky.
Adhering to the idea of rather killing than letting go, as long as Li Wenyou's spies found out to be suspicious, they would all be killed.
For a time, screams continued throughout Nanyue County, and people were killed from time to time.
"Bang!"
In a secret private house, the monkey pushed open the door and shouted: "Master Shen! Master Yang, leave quickly! Xu Xuanwu rebelled!"
"What happened?"
Shen Xing, who was dressed as a hotel manager, frowned and asked. They opened a restaurant in Nanyue County with the gold and silver allocated by the court. The business was good. They could also collect some information and lived a very comfortable life.
And today...
"Li Wenyou is killing people, and he is bringing with him Xu Xuanwu's personal soldiers. I just saw a lot of people walking towards us."
"Withdraw!"
Shen Xing made a quick decision, took off the apron from his waist, and walked towards the back door with a group of people.
"Wait a minute."
Shen Xing suddenly stopped, looked at the large restaurant, gritted his teeth and said: "Set fire!"
"My lord?"
Yang Shaoyong's eyes lit up and he said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's set it on fire!"
"Block the enemy here so that we can survive."
"Yes!"
Seven or eight people quickly found the fire sticks and set the entire restaurant on fire.
In particular, some stored spirits burn even more violently under the flames.
Shen Xing, Yang Shaoyong and others took this opportunity to leave quickly.
"It's gone!"
"It's on fire!"
"Someone, come quickly!"
"Dang Dang Dang..."
People outside quickly discovered the fire here, and many people came to put out the fire with basins of water.
At this time, Li Wenyou was heading here with Xu Xuanwu's personal soldiers, and his eyes became fierce as he looked at the fire soaring into the sky.
"You are so cruel, you actually thought of using this method to hinder us?"
"But...it's too late!"
One of his subordinates asked: "Sir, do we want to put out the fire?"
"No help!"
Li Wenyou said indifferently: "Catch up. They left in such a hurry that we will definitely catch up."
"No!"
A group of wolf-like soldiers searched up and soon found traces of Shen Xing and others.
"Here!"
"Found them!"
"Kill!"
The two groups of people immediately fought together. One party ran for his life to prevent killing, and quickly rushed out of the county.
Shen Xing and others had already hidden their horses outside the city, and rushed out of the encirclement covered in blood.
Three days later!
Only Shen Xing and Yang Shaoyong were left in the entire team, and the rest were all killed by the Long Xiang Army behind them.
The two of them were also covered in injuries and looked extremely tired.
After running for three days, I didn't even have time to eat or sleep every day. It was so miserable.
"Drive!"
"Come on~!"
Behind them, another group of soldiers and horses chased them, and the two of them looked even more desperate.
Yang Shaoyong pulled the reins fiercely and said: "Old Shen, you go first, I will stop you!"
"No! Let's go together, I'll stay behind!"
"What the hell!"
Yang Shaoyong scolded angrily: "You have been doing business in the past few years, and your martial arts cultivation has already dropped, and I am already a master-level warrior!"
"It's too early for these Longxiang troops to want my life. Get out of here!"
After saying this, he stepped on the stirrup suddenly, and his whole body rose into the sky, like a giant eagle, and pounced on the pursuers behind him, and they immediately fought together.
"Lao Yang!"
Shen Xing roared angrily, but knowing that this was not the time for her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, she quickly pulled the reins and rushed forward quickly.
Soon, a pass appeared in front of him, with a mountain on one side and a cliff on the other.
"The front is Shilong Pass. As long as you break through Shilong Pass, you can enter Yunzhou. Then the imperial army will be mobilized..."
"Poof!"
An arrow suddenly shot out from the distance and penetrated Shen Xing's chest in an instant.
"Uh...!"
Shen Xing subconsciously pulled the reins, and the horse's two front hooves were raised high, while Shen Xing's eyes were full of despair.
In the distance, when the stone dragon closed, a checkpoint that was being repaired actually appeared.
There were hundreds of soldiers on guard. After they saw Shen Xing being shot, a group of men were rushing towards him.
"Checkpoint? Xu Xuanwu wants to blockade Nanyue County?!"
"Xu Xuanwu!"
Shen Xing cursed angrily: "You are the third generation of the Xu family to be loyal... I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"
He pulled the reins sharply, and the horse immediately rushed towards the other side.
That side...the cliff!
"Uh...!"
When it was still a few meters away from the cliff, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves, not daring to move forward.
But Shen Xing endured the severe pain in his chest, stepped on the stirrups, and jumped off the cliff!
