Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

In fact, the actions of the White Lotus Sect were completely over-cautious. The news that Changsha County had gathered an army to attack Hetu Mountain was true.

There are mainly the following reasons.

The first is that among everyone, you have me, I have you, and it has become a common thing to send spies to each other. The mobilization of thousands of soldiers and horses can be easily learned by the other party.

The second is that the mobilization of troops and horses is large and requires many young and strong civilian men. Such movements will naturally be noticed by others.

The third thing is that Changsha County is already a broken sieve, and officials are corrupt. This kind of thing has long been revealed.

Of course, this does not mean that most people know that Duan Haoran did it, let alone how many soldiers Duan Haoran attracted from various families.

In fact, after so many years of war in Leizhou, many families in Changsha County and its counties have gathered private soldiers.

It's just that only these families have the greatest strength, and they have just caught Duan Haoran's eyes.

For example, Duan Haoran didn't pay attention to those families with only dozens or even a hundred private soldiers.

Although he knew that this was also a very powerful force, he could not use this power.

Because with the deployment of private soldiers from these big families, it will inevitably affect the defense of the county.

When the time comes, the rear will be empty. Let alone revenge, it is not surprising that Bai Lian has stolen his home.

So Duan Haoran still knows this in his heart.

This is why there are more than a dozen families with private soldiers in the county, but he only left one Zhang family.

As for why families in other counties responded to him, in addition to being frightened by his power, it was also related to the conditions he proposed.

Conditions such as not giving away loot and land are trivial to these families, and they look down upon them.

What really made these families excited was Duan Haoran's promise to work with them to sell illegal salt.

The general condition was that Duan Haoran promised to allow these nine families to set up salt farms on the coast of Hetu Mountain after capturing Hetu Mountain.

As for the salt they boiled, all the salt was purchased by Duan Mansion at half the market price, and they didn't have to worry about the sales at all.

You know, half of the market price, this is a lot of money.

Nowadays, the lowest quality salt containing mud can be purchased for half the market price, which is [-] Wen.

But its manufacturing cost is only a hundred coins at most.

What kind of profit is this?

At least a 5.00% profit is enough to drive these families crazy.

Moreover, Duan Haoran also promised them that he would accept as much as they could refine.

This is also the reason why these families are willing to send nearly half of their private soldiers.

With such high profits, they can rebel.

And this is also the reason why Duan Haoran thought deeply.

Since he wanted to abandon Majia Town and throw away a force for nothing, he naturally needed to find it elsewhere.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the capital.

Of course, these promises can only be realized after victory.

If they were defeated, Duan Haoran believed that these families would not be worried if they lost so many private soldiers.

........................

Soon, three days passed in a flash.

All troops have been gathered in the military camp outside Changsha City.

Among these armies, the most elite are the private soldiers of each family.

These private soldiers are all tall and strong, and all of them wear armor, although it is only leather armor. Fortunately, they do not have crossbows.

However, this was enough to behead the whole family.

At the same time, they also have many riding horses for fast movement and have their own specialized logistics.

With all this, these families are only one step away from rebelling with a flag to uphold justice for heaven.

As for the county soldiers, although they look quite tall, they are really too thin, and they are only a little more youthful and strong than the civilians.

As for weapons, there are only spears and sabers. As for shields, armor, and horses, there are none.

However, Duan Haoran didn't care about this. What he cared about was that he needed to use the name of the county soldiers to temporarily legalize these families.

In addition, although these county soldiers seem to have little fighting ability, they can still fight a smooth battle and serve as cannon fodder to test the attack.

At the same time, they also recruited more than 9000 civilian men from all over the country, coupled with an army of more than 5150 people, plus the logistics personnel carried by each family, the total number was as high as [-] people.

So, after the army and civilians were all assembled, under Duan Haoran's order, the army began to move towards Hetu Mountain.

Under the banner of suppressing bandits and an army of [-], they marched toward Hetu Mountain in a mighty manner.

As the saying goes, if there are ten thousand people, there is no limit, so the actions of many people, coupled with many vehicles and livestock, are indeed very spectacular.

In such a scene, even a military-savvy scout could not tell how many people there were at the moment.

In addition, the army was walking in a chaotic manner, which made the spies confused.

I just feel that there is an army of bandits everywhere, and the number of 5 is no lie.

For a time, all the spies were frightened.

It also frightened the forces in Hetu Mountain.

As for the White Lotus Sect in Qiuchuan County, they couldn't sit still and quickly sent a letter asking for help, threatening that Daqian's [-] troops would attack them.

At this time, in a mansion in Changsha County, a man in his 20s hurried toward the lobby, shouting as he ran:

"Father, it's moving! Father, it's moving!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in the lobby looked at his son who had no manners, frowned, and scolded:

"Sir, please pay attention to your manners. As a direct descendant, how can you act so frivolously."

After hearing this, the young man straightened his clothes, then handed over his hands and said:

"I see, father."

"Ah."

The middle-aged man nodded and asked, "What makes you yell so much?"

When the young man heard this, he suddenly smiled and said happily: "Father, the bandit army has moved, and its direction is Hetu Mountain. Our land can be recovered."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was not only not happy, but also frowned.

The southeastern part of Hetu Mountain had always belonged to their family before Liu Wu and the others arrived. They had the land deed documents, and even the villagers were tenants of their family.

Of course, these villagers don't know.

They only know that they need to pay taxes to the masters when they harvest the grain.

But since Liu Wu came to this place, they have explored the strength of Liu Wu and his party, and they know very clearly that they cannot beat them.

If it had been back when there was still Zhang Ziying in Changsha City, he would still be able to request the government.

However, Zhang Ziying was defeated, and they stopped thinking about it.

Therefore, they carefully chose not to disturb Liu Wu and his party.

Even if they collected taxes some time ago, their family didn't even think about where to collect taxes.

But three days ago, when news suddenly came from Changsha City that the government was going to annihilate Hetu Mountain, he was very surprised, thinking that the government was deliberately creating some pretext.

Even if the government forcibly seizes young men, it is normal in his opinion, and it is nothing more than selling slaves.

So he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, the government has indeed assembled a large army and marched to Hetu Mountain at the same time.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up.

"Si'er, take the land deed document for the southeastern part of Hetu Mountain and let's go to the county governor's mansion. We don't want that place anymore."

"why?"

The young man was very puzzled.

In response, the middle-aged man replied: "If we still hold it, we will be killed."

With that said, without waiting for his son to ask questions, he hurriedly went with the housekeeper to get the land deed documents, and then the group hurried to the county governor's mansion.
