Rebel

Yong Chi saw Gu Ao standing in front of the Han army, wearing the same shiny heavy armor as the generals of the Han army, and a cloak with dragon pattern and claws. face.

Yong Chi's mood changed, if Gu Ao wanted to attack him by surprise, he would have led the cavalry to charge directly, Shi Cai didn't need to stop at all.And once I confront the Han army, the strength of the Han army is not comparable to Julu and Jibei counties; the two sides may become a stalemate and bitter battle.Then Huben really fell into the situation of facing the enemy on both sides, fighting against the Han army and Jiangqu army at the same time.

Now that Gu Ao was only forming an array, but didn't seize the gap to attack when Huben didn't have time to react, it seemed that there was a gap to take advantage of.

The two are separated by a hundred steps, even if the arrows and crossbows fly towards them, they are at the end of their strength, and they can dodge by sight.

Gu Ao looked at Yong Chi, raised his whip and laughed, "You and I have been separated for several years, but today I see you, it is very different. The last time we met, you were still the regent, and now you are the emperor; , you are still wearing the red robe of the royal relatives, this time, you have changed into a purple robe; last time, you were the leader of the family elected by tens of thousands of people, but this time, you have an extra scar on your face. Alas, this world , it’s really unpredictable.”

Both armies before the battle tensed their nerves and pricked up their ears. When the generals of Huben heard that Gu Ao ridiculed Yongchi for being out of position as soon as he came up, they couldn't help but glared angrily, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

Yong Chi looked up to the sky and smiled: "I never thought that you, the son of a rope hub and a gangster, are now a prince. It is really a big joke in the world. It seems that the way of heaven is also corrupted. You must cheer up As for the injury on my face, the King of Han doesn't have to be complacent; there are some petty people in the world who don't do things that are aboveboard, but secretly covet them and wait for the opportunity to trip--I don't know the King of Han knows, but who are these petty people? ?”

The generals of the Han army heard that Yong Chi despised Gu Ao's background, and compared Gu Ao to a sneak attacking person, and hinted that he was inseparable from the assassin in clothes, so they all clenched their weapons, held their breath, and waited ordered.

Hearing Yongchi's rhetorical question "Who is Xiaoxiao?", Gu Ao suddenly realized: "I heard about this, it seems that something happened on the Jiangqu side, right? Could it be that the wound on your face is also..."

Yong Chi snorted coldly, and looked Gu Ao up and down: "...Since the King of Han was rushing for thousands of miles, he stopped right before the battle. Are you not Jiang Qu Liao's rebellious party?"

Gu Ao smiled and said: "You have misunderstood me this time, I am here to rescue the Northern King."

Yongchi said: "The king of Jibei is Jiangqu Liao Ni's party. What's the difference between saving him and saving Jiangqu?"

Gu Ao shook his head and said: "Wrong! You made a mistake! King Jibei is not a party of Jiangqu Liao's family. I have already asked. Now, King Jibei and this king are a party."

Yong Chi suddenly laughed: "The king of Han's ability to take advantage of the fire has not changed for so many years. Back then, he took advantage of the prefect of Hanzhong's execution and stole Hanzhong County from his son Lu Dequan. Later, he took advantage of the Qiu family and the Huai family. When the country was in crisis, I took the opportunity to steal Shangjun and Yuyang. Today, are you going to steal Jibei County again?"

Gu Ao sighed: "The Buddha's heart sees the Buddha. My righteous deed of saving people in danger can be distorted by you like this. I really don't know how much you still have in your heart? Qiu Mu, the prefect of Yuyang, has always been Locked in the courtyard of the Yong family. This refers to the method of turning black and white for horses, and I am indeed not as good as you."

Yong Chi narrowed his eyes: "You came here with an army of [-], is it just to compete with me for the benefit of words?"

Gu Ao laughed: "Just now I was so focused on chatting with the emperor that I forgot the business. In fact, I came here to discuss something with the emperor."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, what do you think of us saying goodbye and retreating? Anyway, the King of Jibei has joined me, and has nothing to do with the Liao family. From then on, Jibei and Shangjing will never interfere with each other."

When Yong Chi heard 'well water does not violate river water', he burst into anger, and the corner of his mouth could not help but sneer: "What if I say no?"

Gu Ao lowered his face, and slowly raised his right arm to show: "Then we can only fight to the death here, and let the king of Jiangqu take advantage of it." As soon as Gu Ao moved, the army behind him immediately moved forward together, Hu Ben Seeing this, he also drew his sword and moved forward.

Yong Chi's face softened, he looked at Gu Ao and said with a smile: "The King of Han still can't take jokes so much."

Gu Ao also slowly put down his hand: "But the emperor wants to tease me."

The two smiled at each other.

Yong Chi said loudly behind his back: "As long as Jibei does not seek rebellion and does not collude with Liao Ni, Hu Ben will withdraw immediately!"

Gu Ao said loudly behind his back: "This king is the guarantor. If the king of Jibei does not oppose the imperial court, Huben will not set foot in Jibei from now on!"

The two returned to the army separately, and the arms of the archers on both sides were already stiff.The Han army retreated ten steps, Huben also retreated ten steps, the Han army retreated another hundred steps, and Huben also retreated a hundred steps.

Just like that, a big battle disappeared without a trace.

The prince of Jibei galloped from the rear to the front, jumped off his horse, walked up to Gu Ao with some anxiety, and thanked him: "Thank you King Han for your help, my father and I will definitely remember the kindness of King Han today...just..."

Speaking of this, the Prince of Jibei raised his face, looked at the majestic Han cavalry, and finally said: "It's just that my father only promised the King of Han to cede the three cities, and didn't say that he would belong to the King of Han."

Gu Ao laughed and said: "This king doesn't say that, how can Huben be willing to withdraw his army obediently? Don't worry, this king has no intention of making King Jibei surrender."

Speaking of which, Gu Ao got off his horse, helped the prince of Jibei, and sighed: "I can help you for a while today, but I can't help you forever. As long as Yong Chi withdraws his hand from King Jiangqu in the south, he will be killed immediately." Sending troops northward, Jinbei must strengthen its preparations."

"I understand, thank you King of Han." Prince Jibei's son saluted again, "Father has arranged a banquet in the city, and I invite King Han to the banquet."

Gu Ao smiled slightly: "I will send someone to escort you back. There are still many things to do in Hanzhong, so I will not go. Thank you for your father's kindness."

After bidding farewell to the prince of Jibei, on the way back, Gu Ao looked up, and saw the sky in the north was high and the clouds were light, and the sky was thousands of miles away.

Gu Ao smiled and continued to drive forward.

Soon, the [-] troops returned to Yuyang.

……

After the city was handed over, Gu Ao immediately set out to arrange the restructuring of the three cities transferred from Jibei.All of a sudden, many Jian family members fled from the three cities. On the road from the three cities to Jibei County, there were cars and horses rattling, and people sighed and shook their heads.Gloomy clouds hover over the migratory journey.

Among those who fled, some scolded the Han army for robbing their ancestral land; some scolded the king of Jibei for being incompetent; foot.

Those who stayed in the three cities welcomed the Han army into the city.Some of them are civil and military bureaucrats of common people who look forward to a peaceful life, and some are children of aristocratic families who belong to the Han Dynasty and are willing to destroy their families and obey the king.For a time, the weather in the three cities was completely new.

The story of the King of Han depriving the aristocratic family of fiefs in the three cities of Jinbei, sharing them equally among farmers, and reforming the official system spread throughout Kyushu, and for the first time gave everyone a strong shock and impact.

For a moment, the world's aristocratic families were turbulent, and they all said: "We thought that the King of Han's resistance to the Rong people was also for us. We didn't expect that once the Rong people were wiped out, the King of Han's spearhead would turn around and target us! How can this be good?"

Another person said: "You don't know, do you? The King of Han used to do the same thing in Hanzhong, but it hasn't touched the heads of the men. I don't care, I don't know. Hanzhong is fine, it belongs to Lu Laoer The hometown, Qianzhong, has been promoted by military merit since the time of old general Yu, and the people of the world are not clear. As for Yuyang Shangjun, the land has long been taken by the Rong people, and the people have been captured by the Rong people as slaves. It is not a big mistake to take it back and distribute it to those who have meritorious service, and in order to unite against the army, the King of Han is still tolerant to the big clan, but the three cities in Jibei will be miserable!"

"That's right! It's just that the king of Han sent troops to rescue him once, and even lost his ancestral property! How can this be good?!"

Similarly, Gu Ao's actions spread to the hearts of many caring people, and some people said: "So, if the King of Han attacks us, we can also divide the land?"

"Isn't that right? Every household can share land! And those who can read and write can also work as errands, not only as subordinate staff, but also as officials!"

"Oh, this is really good!"

What happened in Jibei spread bit by bit from the sad stories told by the families who escaped from Jibei.For a time, many people who originally only knew about the Han Dynasty's resistance to the army also understood the policies of the Han Dynasty.

On this day, Gu Ao was exploring the camp of the Han army together with Yu Junfan. Liao Qinghui reported from the side: "Han Wang, recently many landless farmers in Jibei County have fled to the three northern cities to settle down. There are many people who come to join the army, hoping that the King of Han can conquer their hometowns and distribute land to the folks and elders, and I have already recruited 2000 people."

Gu Ao nodded and said: "Very good. In addition to training, recruits should also explain to them the policies of the Han region, so that they can pass the news back to their hometown."

Liao Qinghui nodded and said, "Yes."

Yu Junfan smiled and said: "Qinghui, I heard that King Jiangqu wrote you a letter recently? Advising you to go back?"

Liao Qinghui sighed, and said: "Yes, it's a pity that my uncle doesn't know the general trend of the world, otherwise he will actively innovate and won't persuade me to go back to Jiangqu. You see, Governor Yu, the king of Han reformed the three cities, and almost Jinbei All the talented and capable people rushed to the three cities. This is the heart of the people. The family must follow the general trend so as not to be swept away by the torrent of the world. Now my cousin is fighting fiercely with the imperial court in the south, but why does he not understand? Even if you defeat Yong Chi, you won't be able to win the hearts of the people."

Yu Junfan said: "What Qinghui said is right, why don't you write your thoughts into the letter, and also persuade Prince Jiangqu and Prince Jiangqu?"

Liao Qinghui said: "Why didn't I write it, but not only did they not listen to it, they also laughed at me as being younger than them and having no experience. I was so angry that I didn't want to write to them anymore."

Yu Junfan smiled wryly.

At this moment, a scout galloped into the camp with Yu Xin in his arms, rolled off his horse not far away, got up again with a grunt, and ran towards Gu Ao and the others: "Report—report—Hanwang! The son of Prince Jiangqu leads the army of King Jiangqu, and the emperor leads the tigers, and they meet at the edge of Yingshui!"

Gu Ao hurriedly asked: "Will the war start? How was the result?"

The man said: "in the first battle, the son of the king of Jiangqu waited for work with leisure, and he was defeated by the vanguard of tiger and ben. Now the two armies face each other across the water!" He said and presented the battle report.

Gu Ao took the feather note, unpacked it and read it.

Yu Junfan said to the scout: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and receive your reward."

"Yes!"

Gu Ao read the battle report and said: "It's just the first battle, the outcome is yet to come."

Yu Junfan sighed: "Whoever wins the two armies will be able to rule the family."

Liao Qinghui stood aside, with a worried look on his face, thinking: "If my uncle wins, will I have to fight against my uncle and cousin on the battlefield from now on?"
