Last night the heroes feasted and drank till dawn. In the afternoon, everyone went up the mountain one after another to discuss the plan to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Poor in literature and rich in martial arts, most people who have a certain reputation in the world are born into wealthy families and have a certain degree of influence in the local area. After negotiation, the heroes agreed to raise rebel armies to resist the Mongol Tatars. And because division is weak, unity is strong, and in order to prevent competing for credit and fighting among themselves, the heroes selected a number of highly respected people to be responsible for coordinating the rebel armies in various places.
After the meeting, the heroes left Emei and returned to their hometowns to prepare for rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty. Master Jiejie led the disciples to send the heroes down the mountain. When returning to the top of the mountain, Ding Minjun suddenly said: "Junior sister Zhou, what did you say to that boy Zhang Wuji when you sent the Demon Cult people down the mountain? You didn't think you were interested in him because of his handsome appearance, right?" After the meeting, , Zhou Zhiruo sent the Ming Cult people down the mountain and talked with Zhang Wuji in private for a long time.
Zhou Zhiruo turned pale with anger and said: "Master Zhang ordered the scattered people to lead the Mingjiao army, and he was in the middle to control the situation. I advised him to lead the troops personally and take control of the military, but he didn't agree." Jingxuan said: "Maybe Master Zhang doesn't know how to fight. Let those who know how to fight lead the troops! After all, there are not many people in the world who know how to fight."
Zhou Zhiruo sighed: "He said the same thing. But you can learn how to fight if you don't know how to fight! Who in the world is born knowing how to fight? I told him that among the rebel armies in the world, the Mingjiao is the most powerful. If she leads the army herself, she can control it. After expelling the Tatars, he would have a great chance of ascending to the throne. If he refused to lead the troops himself and did not have military power, his chances of becoming emperor in the future would be very small. But he said that he did not want to be the emperor. ." Zhou Zhiruo looked regretful and shook her head.
Ding Minjun sneered again: "Junior sister Zhou, why are you so concerned about whether this boy named Zhang can become the emperor? Don't you want to be his queen?" Zhou Zhiruo was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Xiang Yan said hurriedly: "Senior Sister Ding, you have misunderstood Senior Sister Zhou. The Ming Cult Army is divided into five groups. The commanders of the five rebel armies have equal status, and Leader Zhang is the co-leader of the Ming Cult. If after the Tatars are expelled, Leader Zhang will become the emperor. No one can compete with him as the commander of the rebel army, and the world will be at peace. If Master Zhang is not the emperor, and the five commanders compete with each other for the throne, the world will not know how long the war will last. Senior Sister Zhou persuaded Master Zhang to become emperor because of the consideration of the people of the world."
Ding Minjun sneered: "Junior Brother Xiang, you are so flattering to Junior Sister Zhou, do you think..." At this time, Master Jue came over after seeing Wu Dang down the mountain. Ding Minjun did not dare to say anything more, but gave Xiang Yan a fierce look.
Master Jiejie led the disciples back to the main hall. Zhou Zhiruo said: "Master, now that the world has changed, our sect has the important task of leading the heroes of Sichuan to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. My disciples have limited talents and are unable to take on this important task. I also ask Master, for the sake of the people of the world, to continue to be the leader of our sect. Lead us to fight against the Yuan Dynasty." All the disciples said in unison: "Master, for the sake of the people of the world, please continue to be the leader of our sect and lead us to fight against the Yuan Dynasty."
Master Miejie stared at Zhou Zhiruo for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay. I will be the leader of this sect first, and your succession as leader will be postponed for the time being!" All the disciples looked happy. Xiang Yan secretly sighed: "Zhou Zhiruo is such a failure. No one in Emei wants her to be the leader."
According to the agreement of the Wulin Conference, the Emei faction is responsible for leading the rebels in Sichuan. Jiejie Shitai sent many disciples to either organize rebels or supervise other rebels.
On this day, Master Jue summoned Zhou Zhiruo and Xiang Yan and said, "Yang Ping has recruited five thousand rebels in Xiping Village and is preparing to attack Chongqing. I got news that Hamatu and Wanzhe are recruiting soldiers and horses in Chongqing. Not much. You two go to Chongqing to assassinate Hamatu and Wanzhedu, assist Yang Han in conquering Chongqing, and contact various rebels to jointly regain Sichuan."
Yang Han was from Chenzhou, Huguang Province. When he was young, he wanted to join Wudang. Wudang was very strict in accepting disciples and refused to accept Yang Han as a disciple. Later, Shaolin also refused to accept Yang Han, so Yang Han turned to worship Master Miejie as his disciple. . The Yang family is a local leader in Chenzhou. Yang Han returned to Chenzhou to organize a rebel army under the order of Master Miejie. Yang Han persuaded the elders in his family to mobilize all the Yang family members and servants to form an army. He also spent all his wealth to recruit fellow villagers to join the army, and organized a rebel army of 5,000 people to advance towards Sichuan. The rebel army organized by Yang Han was the largest among the various rebel armies under Emei's jurisdiction.
Mingjiao Han Shantong occupied the Central Plains area and was extremely powerful. The court mobilized troops from nearby provinces to besiege Han Shantong. The main force of the Sichuan Yuan soldiers was exhausted, so the defense was empty. Therefore, Hamatu and Wanzhe were sent to Chongqing to recruit new soldiers. However, the terrain of Chongqing is dangerous, and no matter how empty the defenses are, it is definitely not possible for five thousand people to capture it. What's more, Mingjiao Bu San Wang and Meng Haima raised troops in the Jingxiang area, and even went to Chongqing from time to time to fight the autumn wind. I think Chongqing Yuan soldiers will not relax their defense of the east.
Yang Han did not dare to attack Chongqing, so he sent his troops to Xiping Village on the other side of the Yangtze River to confront Chongqing across the river, and asked Emei for help. Both Hamatu and Wanzhe were officials sent to Chongqing from Sichuan Province, and their status was higher than that of Chongqing. Local officials should be high. If these two men could be assassinated, Chongqing's officialdom would surely fall into chaos - the officials in Chongqing failed to protect the leaders sent from the province, so they cannot be said to be innocent - perhaps they could take the opportunity to lure them to surrender.
There are 13 rebel armies under Emei's jurisdiction, totaling more than 30,000 people. As long as Yang Han captures Chongqing and joins forces with various rebels, it is not impossible to regain Sichuan.
