"The Emperor collapsed."
??Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers along both sides of the river suddenly heard a sharp howl.
??Looking up, he saw that there were already many figures on top of the largest dragon boat.
??Some people ran away crying, some fired arrows randomly, and some hurriedly jumped into the water and swam to the shore, pulling on their armor and running away.
??The huge dragon boat gradually tilted, slowly and uncontrollably sinking into the river.
??"The ship sank..."
??Everyone stopped what they were doing at this moment and stood there in a daze.
??Already turning a blind eye to the dragon boat that was forming a long queue and was about to turn around and return.
??"Who is that person? He dares to kill Wang Jijia. The emperor was really killed by him. It's amazing."
??A middle-aged man with a swarthy complexion, who was immersed in clearing the mud, raised his head and exclaimed.
??"Don't you understand? It's Yang Lin, the patron king and the lord of Jiangdu."
??The middle-aged man next to him was wearing a scribe's white shirt that had been washed yellow, and his face showed an abnormally bright red color.
"Last time, when Yangzhou issued a recruitment list, I thought about going there. After all, the conditions they gave were so good.
??However, thinking that the imperial army was coming soon and that everyone would be destroyed by then, it would be quite worthless, so he did not go over. "
??The middle-aged scribe sighed with regret.
??"Yang Lin, is he so powerful? As far as I know, there are Yuwen Shang of the Yuwen Clan and You Chuhong of the Dugu Clan on the dragon ship.
??These two people are world-famous master-level masters. It is not easy to assassinate Yang Guang in their hands. "
??"Who is this brother? He doesn't seem to be an unknown person, but I don't know that the backer king has shown great power a few days ago. The evil king Shi Zhixuan suffered a big loss in his hands. Now he is seriously injured and is running away. Mountain forest.
??Although Yuwen Shang and You Chuhong are famous, they are still slightly inferior to the Evil King, so how can they stop him?
??In my opinion, no matter how big the world is, except for the three great masters, no one can suppress him in terms of force. This person has achieved great success. "
??A yellow-faced man selling cakes next to him said with a gentle smile.
??"How can we see that he has achieved great success?"
??The strong black man glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the yellow-faced man's thing disguised as a pole. It was a bit unusual, with a trace of metallic light shining through it.
?? His heart moved and he asked with a smile.
??"Hehe, the backer king started his career so fast that no one in the world would think twice about it. At first, I thought he was just messing around, but later I found out that he was not.
??First, a recruitment notice was issued, then land was enfeoffed, soldiers were recruited...
??I heard that the people under the rule of Yangzhou have been exempted from taxes for three years, and those who serve as soldiers and eat food will be exempted from taxes for life..."
??The eyes of the yellow-faced man were full of surprise, and he added: "Anyone who sacrifices small gains must have a big plan. He gathers the hearts of the army and the people, recruits experts and virtuous people, and is a hundred times more clever than the likes of Li Zitong and Du Fuwei in Jiangdong."
??His reputation had not spread before, and the people in the world had never heard of this person, so his momentum was not obvious.
??After defeating the evil king Shi Zhixuan, he is already expected to be the top master in the world.
??Especially today's battle, in which he defeated two top masters in a row among hundreds of thousands of troops, killing one and defeating the other, and then cutting off Yang Guang's head. He couldn't help but become famous. "
??The middle-aged man in white nodded slightly: "Yes, in this world, as much resentment towards the Hunjun as there is, so will Yang Lin's reputation.
??After today, his reputation will be spread even in Luoyang and Chang'an, south and north of the Yangtze River.
??Although he carries the name of regicide, it is taboo.
??However, with the blessing of this reputation, some knowledgeable people in the world will want to join him and gamble on their future. "
??"exactly."
??The black-faced man suddenly smiled and said: "I wonder if you two brothers are also thinking of defecting to the patron king and seeking the merit of serving the dragon?"
??"Conglong? Haha, it's too early to say it, it's too early to say it.
??Since ancient times, it has been extremely difficult to conquer the north from the south. If the patron king wants to succeed, he must first gather all the rebels and bandits in Jiangdong.
??Now that there is an uprising in Taiyuan and Chang'an is in danger, I think Li Clan has a better chance. "
"I don't think so. Wagang is huge. With troops approaching Luoyang and well-equipped soldiers, we can hope to dominate the world." The yellow-faced man said cheerfully.
??The black-faced man pondered for a while and said hesitantly: "Why do I think Beidi Yingyang Colonel Liu Wuzhou is the most likely to succeed?
??I heard that he has Turkic support behind him...
??Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, once the Turks enter the country, no force in the world can resist it. By then, Liu Wuzhou will take advantage of it.
??Although this doesn’t sound pleasant to say.
??Relying on the power of foreigners to fight for the world for themselves.
??Even if he conquers the world, he still cannot convince people.
??However, this is what I think in my heart. In fact, everyone has to admit that this is actually a good method.
??Turkic barbarians only know how to destroy and plunder. It is impossible to garrison a city or a place and farm with peace of mind.
??By borrowing their soldiers, you don't have to worry about being turned over by the other side.
??Once someone gets their support, as long as some conditions are met and some promises are made, the benefits that will be obtained will be too great.
??In comparison, the little things lost are actually not worth mentioning.
??As soon as the black-faced man said these words, all three of them were speechless.
??Just looking at the river silently.
??There was chaos on the water, and thousands of ships turned around.
??From time to time, people fell into the water, and people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait became commotion. Talks about "the patron king, Yang Lin" were heard everywhere.
??The common people with their children in tow and their faces full of food, some are heading north, and some are heading south in confusion.
??There are many people shouting loudly to their neighbors.
??"Go to Jiangdu. The land is divided there, and joining the army is exempt from taxes and taxes... Not only that, there are also warehouses to store grain. If you go there, you will not die of hunger."
??As soon as these words came out, someone responded.
"I know Yang Lin, the patron king. He is the most benevolent person and cares about the people.
Last month, my distant nephew sent me a letter, saying that the city of Yangzhou was no longer littered with lost objects, and the people were happy and peaceful. "
??"Brother, don't be deceived. How can there be such good officials in the world? Aren't they all just stripped of their marrow and skinned? What's more, the Yang family is nothing."
??"Bah, the Hongnong Yang family and the Shanye Yang family, are those the same thing?
??The patron king is the patron of the common people, but it is not the same as those high-ranking officials.
??He came from a rough background, hunted and farmed, and was well aware of the sufferings of the people. Don't be verbose, you will know it when you go there.
??I've never heard of any banditry in Yangzhou... If you feel it's inappropriate, just leave, and no one will bother you. "
??"Go together, go together..."
??Some people started to boo.
??Then a group of hundreds of people gathered, led by an old man who was familiar with the road, and headed south.
??The yellow-faced man had very good eyesight, and he could see that there were hundreds of such gatherings.
??I saw only a dark crowd of people, slowly turning around, and gradually forming a huge flow of people.
??“The people’s will is what they want, and the general trend has been achieved.”
??He looked slightly startled. Looking back, he saw the slightly twinkling eyes of the black-faced man and the middle-aged man in white shirt. He sighed, turned around and left, never looking back.
??The Great Sui Dynasty was dead, but the people of the world must continue to live.
??It remains to be seen who will win and who will lose, and who will get the deer.
??Everyone has his own position and his own obstacles, and he will definitely go his own way.
??I just hope that I won’t face this patron king so early.
??Thinking that the other party can kill kings and generals in the midst of thousands of troops, a chill will rise in anyone's heart.
??Such a heroic figure.
??It’s a pity that we meet so late.
