Chapter 70 Rebellion
Sure enough, in the evening, the steward led a woman who disguised herself as a man and claimed to be Mr. Li to meet Xie Yu. The woman claimed to be Li Xiuning, the third daughter of Li Yuan, the head of the Li family, and she had just married her husband Chai Shao.
During the conversation, Xie Yu knew that Li Clan had decided to start an uprising, and Li Xiuning decided to pull out partial troops from here, hoping that Xie Yu would help.
Although Xie Yu was shocked that his guess was verified, at this point, he could only bite the bullet.
Xie Yu briefly introduced himself, especially when he confessed that he had just entered the realm of a grandmaster. Li Xiuning was even more happy. Li Xiuning had no one around him at this time, and the two guards who had just entered the innate master were worried about the lack of high-end combat power.
She was overjoyed when the steward introduced that the caravan was accompanied by Master Ziyang's nephew. She knew that Master Ziyang was close to a grand master, and his nephew's martial arts should not be bad.
Since Xie Yu decided to surrender, he naturally began to inquire about the current arrangements of various forces in Hu County, as well as his own forces.
Under Li Xiuning's introduction, Xie Yuzou raised his eyebrows. They were all revolting, but they were all armed with two swords. They wanted to fight hard with their passion. Fortunately, this place has been in war all the year round, and everyone has the habit of practicing martial arts, so they have reserve troops. Well enough.
He also learned from Li Xiuning that the time agreed upon by the Li clan for the uprising was May 15th, and now April 18th was less than a month away. In this case, Xie Yu began to put forward his own suggestions.
Li Xiuning is a smart person. He quickly understood what Xie Yu meant and immediately followed his instructions. Moreover, Li Xiuning discovered that Xie Yu had a lot of opinions on military matters, so he began to ask for advice humbly. Of course, Xie Yu did not hide anything. At this time, we could only unite as one. .
Soon rumors spread in the Li Manor that Mr. Li was congratulating his grandmother on her birthday and wanted to help the victims. There would be food to eat here!
In this troubled time, many people are hungry and there is no tomorrow. Many poor people began to gather in Li's manor, and Li Xiuning began to recruit soldiers on a large scale in the name of recruiting villagers.
Xie Yu attached the small light spots in the gourd mark to Zhuang Ding, who had some martial arts qualifications, and used his own innate energy to forcefully enhance the martial arts of these people. Although it was a bit of a distraction, he couldn't care less about it now.
Fortunately, small points of light come back from time to time. Each time the light points come back, they will increase Xie Yu's energy, allowing Xie Yu to hold on.
And these small points of light let Xie Yu know that Sui Emperor Yang Guang had killed someone again. It seemed that there must be a problem with Yang Guang. Strangely, this incident gave Xie Yu some confidence in his inexplicable rebellion.
In just over ten days, 40,000 to 50,000 poor refugees gathered in the Li family manor. Li Xiuning and Xie Yu reluctantly recruited 10,000 regular troops and 5,000 auxiliary troops from among these people.
At this time, some of the warriors that Xie Yu had managed to ripen through light spots were able to serve as low-level officers and barely formed an army. Xie Yu would not let the remaining people idle, and they all served under the logistics army formed by the caravan members. The army rushed to make some military items.
Especially after Xie Yu discovered that there were a lot of bamboos here, he specially made European-style large bows, bamboo arrows, bamboo armor and so on.
There were so many people gathered in Li's Manor, and the Hu County officials also noticed it. However, the Li clan was very powerful. Xie Yu found that Li Xiuning wanted to be a good eloquent and had the talent of a diplomat, so he suggested that Li Xiuning stabilize the Hu County officials and win over some of them. The forces that took refuge in the Li clan, especially the defenders in the county.
Li Xiuning knew his strengths and went to do this immediately, leaving the formation of the army to Xie Yu.
Until May 14th, the 13th year of Daye, Li Xiuning invited the governor of Hu County and the county gentry to break a cup as a sign of joy and laughter, and controlled them all. Then he recounted the tyranny of Sui Emperor Yang Guang and started an uprising.
Then it is better if you are willing, but if you are not willing, even though Xie Yu only knows three of the thirty-six ways of life and death talismans, it is still no problem to control these people in a short period of time.
Sure enough, after sorting out the county's arsenal, which was still the treasure of the wealthy gentry, the depleted wealth of the Li family manor was finally replenished.
Because of the rebellion, Xie Yuyuan put all the literate people in the county into the army and forcibly expanded the army. The number of soldiers soon reached 20,000.
Of course, the "Character of Life and Death" plays a big role. Li Xiuning's role as the white face and Xie Yu's role as the red face are pretty good.
However, five days after the uprising, two hundred monk troops actually surrendered to Li Xiuning's command, which surprised Xie Yu.
Li Xiuning had no choice but to explain to Xie Yu that the Buddhist forces led by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan had long surrendered under the command of her second brother Li Shimin, and they should have been arranged by her second brother to serve as her bodyguards.
To be honest, Xie Yu was also surprised by the Buddhist vision. He didn't expect to bet on the second generation of the Li family so early and so accurately. You must know that the head of the Li family, Li Shimin's father Li Yuan, is not dead yet?
Master Ziyang just placed a bet on Li Clan and took Li Yuanba, the fourth son of Li Yuan, as his disciple. He just saw that he was extremely talented and had amazing martial arts qualifications. Huang Tian Dafa was only at the sixth level when he first entered Xiantian, and he was already a martial arts master. .
Unlike Xie Yu, Xie Yu was only a master of Huang Tian's Dafa practice, and he barely entered the realm of martial arts master under the guidance of the practice.
According to Ziyang Zhenren, only those who can express themselves and evolve their martial arts into their own "martial arts" can be regarded as masters. Although Xie Yu has extraordinary martial arts skills and is proficient in many martial arts skills, he has not yet Find your own martial arts.
Fortunately, Master Ziyang has said that this disciple of Li Yuanba is very ugly, with a pointed mouth and chin, yellow hair, a face like a sick ghost, and skinny bones. According to numerology, he is the reincarnation of a golden-winged roc, but he is destined not to live until twenty-four. Years later, Xie Yu felt more balanced.
After waiting for more than ten days, Li Xiuning's 20,000 rebel army did not wait for the encirclement and suppression by Qu Tutong, the Sui Dynasty's Guanzhong garrison. Instead, he received intelligence that Hu Shang He Panren, who had tens of thousands of troops, was about to attack Hu County.
Li Xiuning and Xie Yu could only ignore it for the time being. Qu Tutong, the general in charge of Guanzhong of the Sui army, first dealt with Hu Shang He Panren, who had tens of thousands of troops. Because the intelligence was unclear, everyone could only be trapped in Hu County first.
However, within a few days, a letter came from Buddhist disciples, detailing the information about Hu Shang and He Panren. Although everyone was surprised, they didn't care about it. Only Xie Yu was deeply worried. No wonder Buddhism played a key role in the dynasty's national destiny in history. When I was strong, I was destroyed several times, so I won’t talk about it anymore.
Sure enough, the intelligence was accurate and coupled with Xie Yu's personal investigation, on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month of Daye, less than a month after Li Clan's insurrection, and when the 20,000 rebels in Hu County were in general shape, Hu Shang and He Panren personally commanded his subordinates. With 30,000 troops, they attacked the Li Clan's resistance force in Hu County.
However, when Hu Shanghe and Pan Renhu County arrived in the territory, Li Xiuning and Xie Yu took advantage of the fact that their footing was not stable and asked for help from the Buddhist sect.
Xie Yu led his elite troops, sneaked in front of Hu Shang He Panren, and took action personally. Although Hu Shang He Panren was surrounded by several innate masters to protect him, these people were quickly defeated by Xie Yu's Tianshan Zhemei and were struck by the life and death talisman. As a businessman, Hu Shang He Panren had no hard bones and quickly surrendered.
Soon, the number of troops under Li Xiuning and Xie Yu's command reached 50,000. At this time, Li Xiuning received a letter from her father, first praising her, and then putting more pressure on her. Let her send troops as soon as possible to capture the city and relieve the pressure on their main force.
Li Xiuning and Xie Yu were helpless. After some discussion, they divided their troops into two groups. Xie Yu began to lead 10,000 troops to try to bring down the scattered civilian rebels, while Li Xiuning led the main force to attack the city to build momentum.
