There is no doubt that the Cui family is unwilling to accept the order to move the royal tomb.
"The King of Qin enacted such evil policies that the whole country resisted. All we have to do is work together..." Cui Min spoke softly, as if to comfort himself.
"But father, both the Xiang family and the Yu family have accepted the order to move to the royal mausoleum, and are preparing to sell off their property and move to Xianyang. The Xiang family has a reputation in the world. Under such circumstances, there will really be people who will fight to the death with us. Huh?" Cui Jing frowned and asked.
The First Emperor issued an order to move the royal mausoleum, and the families who were on the lucky list of the order to move the royal mausoleum all chose tacit resistance and delay.
As soon as Cui Min learned about the order to move the royal mausoleum, he wrote to the family members who shared the same problem, and everyone agreed to advance and retreat together.
However, the Xiang family and the Yu family's first defection dealt a huge blow to the Guizhou group's will to resist. Two young men among the masses were the first to surrender. In this case, no one can say whether everyone can still understand each other. Xuan continued to resist the order to move the royal tomb.
"Let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, we can only move..." Cui Min really didn't have any good ideas.
There was only one way left except to hope that the First Emperor would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and local resistance would compromise and withdraw the royal order.
Raise troops and rise up!
Cui Gong, Cui Min's third son, controls the county soldiers in Handan. The Cui family is also famous in Handan. The wealth accumulated in the family is immeasurable. The situation of the entire Handan county and even the county government and the officials of the Cui family are all well-connected. If they want to Raising an army to raise an army is not a very difficult thing.
But Cui Min didn't dare.
Moving to Xianyang will not necessarily lead to death, but raising troops will definitely lead to death.
Even if there is any rebellion, it will only be temporary, and Cui Min still knows this.
"Is it possible that the whole family really needs to move?" Cui Min murmured slightly, her mind in disarray.
However, the progress of things far exceeded Cui Min's expectations...
Liu Bang was fully prepared and killed all the generals related to the Cui family in the county army. Then he led his troops to the treasury and fully armed his soldiers.
After taking control of the city gates and city wall defenses, Liu Bang, Lu Wan, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang rushed straight to Cui's house without stopping.
"Master! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"
When Cui Min was feeling melancholy, he suddenly heard the hurried shouts of his ministers at home.
"What happened? Don't panic, tell me carefully!" Cui Min was shocked when he heard this, but his face still showed no panic.
The servant who was running over saw that his master was not panicked. He took a big breath and opened his mouth in panic: "Hei...Hei Bingtai is here!"
"Just now, Heibingtai sent people to take the master's three sons, used tiger charms to control the county soldiers in Handan, forced their way into the Handan treasury, released the ministers and servants, and distributed weapons to them, taking control of the county. The guards and the city gates and walls are now commanding the county soldiers to come home!" Li Chen spoke hastily and looked anxious.
The Cui family naturally has more than just one Cui Gongzai in Handan.
Liu Bang's actions were indeed fast enough, but the movement was also quite large. It was impossible that no one knew about it and reported it to Cui Min.
Unfortunately, even if Cui Min knew it, it would not help.
Liu Bang has already done the most important thing.
Control the county government, seize the military power, arm the soldiers, and control the city gates.
The Cui family has now become the real turtle in the urn!
"Zhao Zheng, the maid girl!"
Cui Min's eyes were splitting, he was gnashing his teeth, thoughts were racing in his mind, and he realized a fact in horror!
King Zhao Zheng of Qin wants to kill the Cui family as a warning to others!
The Cui family became the chicken that killed the chicken to scare the monkeys!
"Quick! Go and summon the guest servants! Quick!" Cui Min roared!
"Rush out of the city gate! Only by rushing out of the city gate will you have a chance to survive!"
Now that the county government has been controlled by Hei Bingtai, the county soldiers have also been controlled by Hei Bingtai. 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 parties to raise dead soldiers in private, then with the Cui family's financial resources, power and reputation, the Cui family will be able to overthrow the entire Handan County in a few years.
But now time has become the most important thing.
Not everyone is as determined to restore the country as Xiang Liang, who trains dead soldiers every year and never forgets to restore the country and fight against Qin for more than ten years.
In fact, the First Emperor was kind to the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
In addition to limiting the format and quantity of weapons they wore to a certain extent, the First Emperor recognized the titles of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Yes, a considerable part of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms have not been deprived of their titles, including the Cui family and the Xiang family.
They only need to pay a small price to preserve their family.
Therefore, in addition to raising hundreds of retainers, 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.
Training soldiers and horses privately and raising dead soldiers, isn't that true? If you are not careful, your body and your family will be destroyed. Why should you do this?
What's the use of training hundreds of dead soldiers? Even if every dead soldier were sent down to earth to fight against five, it would not be enough to destroy Qin.
As for if the right time really comes for rebellion, the Cui family can rely on their accumulated wealth, craftsmen and reputation to recruit a group of soldiers in a short time.
Not to mention, Cui Min's third son Cui Gong is also the right lieutenant of Handan, in charge of the county soldiers.
The capture of Cui Gong meant that the Cui family's largest armed force had been completely captured, and now it became a tool of the enemy, and the other party also released ministers and servants.
This made Cui Min realize that in Handan City, the Cui family was completely at a disadvantage and a complete turtle in the urn.
Only by breaking out of Handan City can there be a glimmer of hope.
Whether he returns to his clan to call on his clansmen to resist, or whether he uses his connections to hide his name and avoid disasters, as long as he can leave Handan City, he will not be found even on the Black Ice Platform.
The Black Ice Platform is only temporary, but the Cui family has been standing here for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Heibingtai is the outsider, and Qin people are tigers and wolves!
Cui Min and Cui Jing's father and son urgently began to summon the diners and servants.
The Cui family does not have many servants and ministers, only about 300 people in total. This is not because the Cui family is too small, but because the Cui family's clan is outside Handan City, and the only residences in Handan City are Cui Min and his son. A place where people live and where they can support their customers.
The main function of the mansion in Handan City is to support the guests. Fortunately, the Cui family has many guests, more than 500 people.
There are knights and wanderers.
They accepted the Cui family's support and came to work for the Cui family.
Their relationship with the Cui family is similar to that of employees and bosses, unlike servants and ministers who are firmly bound to the Cui family.
Because of this, there is no strong restraint between master and slave, and the relationship between master and guests relies entirely on personal morality and established rules.
So when the Cui family was in turmoil, some were filled with indignation, some were tearful, some were willing to die for the Cui family, and naturally some chose to leave without saying goodbye.
The Cui family supported more than 500 disciples in total. After Cui Min and Cui Jing's father and son briefly gathered together, there were only more than 100 disciples accompanying them with swords.
As for the rest, some took advantage of the chaos to escape, while others were away from the mansion because they were out on business or doing something else.
After the emergency call, including servants and ministers, there were only nearly 500 people in total.
"No time to elaborate, get in the car quickly!"
Cui Min didn't bother to care about the other guests who hadn't come. He hurriedly pulled his son Cui Jing into the car and then urged the horse to move forward!
Behind them were guards in a mess, some were driving, some were riding horses, some were running fast, some were holding short swords, some were holding spears, some were holding crossbows, and some were holding sticks and forks...
The time was too short and there was no time to get so many weapons and armors. The support of the disciples was not bad. Most of the rangers these days were equipped with swords. The ministers and servants could not get any handy weapons at the moment, so they could only use short weapons. Swords make do, and what's more, there are no weapons at all, so they can only temporarily use farming tools instead.
"Father! Where to go!"
Cui Jing lifted the reins and looked at his father.
"Go to whichever city gate is closest, the north gate, the north gate!" Cui Min was in a hurry mixed with a bit of panic!
Cui Jing heard the sound and immediately urged the chariot to move quickly!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
There are pedestrians on the street and there is no time to avoid them!
Wuyang Wuyang's men and horses guarded Cui Min and his son as they advanced toward the North City Gate.
"Quick! Faster!" Cui Min kept urging.
"Father, there are not many soldiers on the street. Perhaps it was too hasty. Black Ice Platform has not had time to guard the main roads and city gates..."
Cui Min didn't say anything, but stared at the street with red eyes.
The chariots are galloping, the chickens are flying and the dogs are jumping!
Cui Min's eyes became more solemn and panicked!
There were no soldiers on the road. Although there were pedestrians, they were obviously fewer than usual, and everyone looked in a hurry...
Cui Min realized that the other party would probably send people to control the city gates and walls immediately!
Now I am afraid that the North City Gate, which is farthest from the county and closest to the Cui family, has also been occupied.
too fast!
There was no time to react, not even time to escape!
"Get out of the car!" Cui Min pushed his son hard, and Cui Jing had a confused look on his face.
"Zhong, you are my most trusted retainer. Now I am afraid that the city gate has been occupied by King Qin's lackeys. If I lead people to attack the city gate, I am afraid that the danger will be worse. Before King Qin's lackeys come, they can reach Dasuo City. Please take my child and escape elsewhere to protect his safety."
Cui Min ignored her son's surprised expression and just saluted seriously to a guest following the carriage.
"Since I have enjoyed your offering, I am naturally willing to repay you with my life!" The sinister-looking ranger with a beard nodded seriously.
Then Zhong, who was full of anger, looked at Cui Jing and said, "Now I have to force a noble person like you to go out of the city in a dog hole with me!"
After that, he asked Cui Jing to dismount!
"Father, since we are leaving, we will leave together!"
"Nonsense!"
"There are many people with mixed eyes. If you come with me, many guests will follow you for this. Only if I attract the eyes and ears of Heibingtai can you have a chance to leave the city!"
After that, Cui Min ignored Cui Jing's plea and headed towards the North City Gate with his servants and ministers.
The carriage sped around the streets, and the team behind Cui Min became scattered. Some people fell behind, and some were out of breath. Fortunately, the team did not disperse after all.
The Cui family supports their guests with high salaries and uses righteousness to restrain their morality and behavior. Now, after all, it still has an effect.
A noble person must have followers.
And he is a follower who is willing to sacrifice his life for it, which is fundamentally different from a powerful man.
The city gate has arrived!
But the bad news is, it’s pretty much what Cui Min expected!
The city gate is closed!
The city gates are closed in broad daylight, which means it is self-evident.
Cui Min alertly led the team to stop!
Then he looked at the closed city gate and the high city wall calmly.
moment!
On the city wall, there were many bows and crossbows, and the soldiers leaned out neatly and aimed their cold standard Qin crossbows at Cui Min and his retainers.
If we take a few steps forward, I'm afraid arrows will rain down in an instant!
Liu Bang poked his head out from the city wall with a smile. He clearly had the numerical advantage but did not move. He 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 a jar. If nothing unexpected happened, he might not be able to get out of Handan.
Several times he wanted to draw his sword and charge, but he restrained his impulse several times.
Liu Bang was not in a hurry, he just looked down at Cui Min and his retainers with Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others!
"Go back! Go back to the mansion!"
Cui Min gritted his teeth and led the diners to turn around!
Unexpectedly, at the end of the street where he came from, neat footsteps sounded.
Qin Nu is still the cold Qin Nu!
At a loss, trapped between a rock and a hard place!
The team of more than 500 people turned around, turned around again, and stood still on the spot. Cui Min raised his sword in panic, with a troubled expression on his face. He stood there, neither in front nor behind!
"Fire the arrow!"
Liu Bang waved his hand, and the soldiers on the city wall responded to the order and fired arrows.
The crossbow arrows fell in response, and Cui Min led the disciples back in panic.
Unfortunately, the distance on the city wall was not enough, and the shots did not cause any effective damage to people.
Liu Bang deliberately shot out of range for fun, but Cui Min was scared to death.
"How dare Shu Zian bully me!"
Cui Min was still in a panic, but there were many bloody people among his disciples. Liu Bang stood on the city wall with a smile on his face, and his playful look was obvious. Some people couldn't bear the humiliation and stepped forward with swords.
Poof!
More than a dozen arrows nailed his body.
Just rush up the distance yourself and that's enough!
However, there was more than one bloody person. One person died and another appeared. The panicked Cui Min had no time to stop it, but it was the spontaneous behavior of his disciples.
It's a pity that the blood will only be pierced by the cold crossbow arrows in the end, and the spreading blood flows to Cui Min's feet. When he saw the disciples risking their lives for him, he clearly realized that he was destined to die.
This was the first time he faced death.
"Even when faced with a certain death situation, he is still hesitant. He is even worse than his disciples. How can such a person be able to be a world minister?" Chen Sheng looked at the panicked Cui Min with a hint of sneer on his face.
For some reason, Chen Sheng started to feel a little excited!
But Cui Min's performance really made him furious!
"I want to see if this old dog still has any blood in him!"
After that, Chen Sheng picked up Cui Jing's bloody head and threw it off the city wall!
