…………………………………………………………

In a hurry? For those with a bit of a long-term vision, it is a matter of course to prepare before it happens, and it is better to be caught off guard when it happens.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, Ji Bu firmly believes in this, Mei Kai also agrees with this, and even Su Lie, who has always been honest, also understands this.

People see different things in different positions, and many times people interpret this as "the camp determines the position" or "the ass decides the head". Of course, this is not Ji Bu, Mei Kai, Su Lie and others, but some people in the distant Huiji County.

The south is in turmoil, and it is the kind that many counties and counties are out of control when they are in chaos. For the Xiang clan, which had been operating and preparing, the turmoil came too early and too suddenly, so that most of the important members of the Xiang clan were not in Huiji when the turmoil began.

The bureau that the Xiang clan wants to set up will not be limited to the Huiji place, but the layout of the Huiji County is too small and does not meet the big things that the Xiang clan wants to do.

Fan Zeng appeared in Nanjun, he had a topographic map of many counties in the south, if it wasn't for the ambition to swallow the south and even the world, why would Xiang have to draw so many maps.

Xiang Liang operates in Huiji County all the year round, but Xiang Bo walks around like a diplomat.

Xiang Bo was also a well-spoken figure, who walked around all year round to liaise with the party, and under his campaign, the old nobles in various places formed an anti-Qin alliance.

It didn't matter whether this anti-Qin alliance was strong or not, they were committed to overthrowing the Qin state and restoring the old state. Share information with each other. Some officials of the Qin State were also part of this alliance, and a lot of information was revealed through these officials.

The people have been rumored that the Qin State is fierce, and in fact, the taxes and forced labor of the Qin State are indeed heavy, but will the influence of the advocacy secretly be so great?

If a nation wants to perish, it must first destroy its foundation, and the foundation of the state is the will of the people. The lie is said a thousand times and ten thousand times before it becomes true, not to mention that the national policy of the Qin State really does not cherish the people's power.

It has been two or three years since Xiang Liang became the staff of the county guard of Huiji County under the pseudonym Liang Xiang, and the county guard of Huiji at that time was not the current Yin Tong.

Of course, Xiang's operation in Huiji County is not a recent thing, in fact, Xiang's not only has a foundation in Huiji County, but Huiji County is the best and most successful county for Xiang's management.

Ridiculous, perhaps, but that's exactly what it is. The county guards of the southern counties were assigned to the local area and needed the support of the locals, and their practice was generally to recruit local well-known people as staff members, forming a combination of "power and power".

The so-called "power and power" is not difficult to understand, since the county guard has the "great righteousness", that is, the right granted by the state (the emperor), and the local people are familiar with the local area and control the township, and have the "clan right" that enables the county guard's decree to be enforced.

To illustrate Xiang's management of Huiji County, Yin Tong, the county guard of Huiji County, did not understand the actual situation under his rule at all, and what he saw was only what his staff was willing to let him see. All he knew was what his staff wanted him to know.

There are 27 counties in Huiji County, and 21 counties are controlled by the Xiang clan under continuous management. There are 30,000 county soldiers in Huiji County, of which 20,000 have been secretly controlled by the Xiang clan, and the generals of the 5,000 county soldiers in the capital Wu County have also had three military marquis who have been bought by the Xiang clan.

What does it mean to be deliberate? Xiang's business is called deliberate!

The South has been in turmoil for almost three months. It has been almost two months since Huiji County lost contact with the Xianyang Center, and the county guard Yin Tong is anxious in his eyes.

What is Yin Tong anxious about? Is it anxious that the country will fall into turmoil and lament the people's misery? No! The direction of his anxiousness was a little strange, and he was eager to know the situation of the other counties in the Dao. Then make the next step.

The turmoil came so suddenly, as if a pebble was thrown into the lake and reflected a series of ripples, and this ripple seemed to change when it floated on the surface of the lake. In an instant, it turned into the waves of the sea. Without warning, it suddenly surged and slammed into confusion.

No one would have thought that the turmoil in one place would have such a great impact in a short period of time, even the Xiang clan, who colluded with Baiyue to invade Nanjun, did not expect it to become like this.

In Xiang's layout, Fan Zeng should contact the old subjects of the Six Kingdoms in Nanjun, and successfully trick those people and the Baiyue people into uniting to defeat Qin's Southern Expeditionary Army, and then lead the war to Qin's grain-producing areas, that is, Ba County and Shu County, to achieve the purpose of destroying Qin's national strength.

As long as Ba County and Shu County are in chaos, the next step of the Xiang family's layout will also be miraculous, and the rebellious Qiang people will further aggravate the turmoil in Shu County, and join forces with Gui Yue to stir up Shu County forever like occupying Qianzhong County.

As soon as Shu County was in chaos, the Qin State would inevitably be shaken, and it was imperative to send garrisons from all over the country to fight in Shu County.

What did the Xiang clan and many old nobles hiding in the shadows do? They just wanted to let the Qin troops from all over the country move to Shu County, and then when the Qin State was empty, they incited hatred among the people in order to achieve the goal of further weakening the Qin State.

There will be no more than one or two steps in a huge plan, and the progress of events here is only a small part of it. At that time, Zhao Di Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who have been in contact with the Xiang family, and Han Cheng of Han Land, they will enter the grassland to contact the Xiongnu head Manshan Yu, bewitch the Huns to enter Heshuo, and force the Qin State to start a big war with the Xiongnu in an unfavorable situation. And this is only the third step for them to weaken the Qin State!

What he didn't expect happened, Fan Zeng didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, he was missing, the subjects of the six countries of Nanjun did not unite with the Baiyue people, and the 100,000 army of the Baiyue people was defeated, defeated in the hands of a Qin general with only more than 3,000 soldiers, and the most strange thing was that this Qin general didn't know what method Lu Dao used to collect which subjects of the six countries.

When this news reached Xiang Liang's ears, he was stunned, and it can be said that he couldn't believe it at all!

The news in the back repeatedly fed back that the Qin general was called Lu Shizhe. Lu Shizhe has pacified Nanjun, Lu Shizhe is impressing the project, Lu Shizhe ......, a lot of news about Lu Shizhe......

"This Qin general is interesting," as the helmsman of the Xiang family, Xiang Liang couldn't accept that the layout was disrupted, and at the same time, he probed Lu Zhe's actions and commented: "Fortunately, he took advantage of the situation, what he did in Nanjun was a bad start for the Qin State, not a bad thing." ”

It is said that Lu Zhe privately let go of the Zhao family and took over the Zheng family. And then a lot of work began. This behavior stabilized Nanjun, but it was an opportunity for the county guards of other counties to imitate, which was conducive to the Xiang clan and other anti-Qin alliances to divide the Qin state.

Xiang Liang judged that Lu Zhe had the heart to stand on his own and immediately sent a team similar to the envoy group, but the journey from Huiji County to Nanjun was very long, and the various places along the route were chaotic, and it took more than two months to arrive in Nanjun.

As the starting point of the turmoil, Nanjun is the first county to calm down, and many people have been paying attention, they are waiting and planning, and some can't see the situation clearly...... Or someone who doesn't care about the situation at all. They thought their opportunity had come to take advantage of it.

The layout of the Xiang family and the people of all parties has been messed up here, and Xiang Liang has no choice but to start the plan of Huiji County.

Since the beginning of the turmoil in Nanjun, before it spread to other counties, the staff have been instilling an idea in Yin Tong. That is the tyranny of the Qin State, and the governance of the country cannot last long.

If he is loyal to the Qin State, then Yin Tong should kill his staff, right? But no, Yin Tong, who already knew about the Qin State in his heart, also agreed with this. Before he took office, he communicated with a few friends about current affairs, and it was generally believed that the Qin State had used too much people's power and would cause a catastrophe sooner or later.

Yin Tong tried to write a letter of advice and submit it to the center. However, the center did not accept the advice at all, and even issued an edict to reprimand him angrily, so he was sent to Huiji County in the south and became an exiled county guard. He had heard a rumor that Feng Zao, Wang Xuan, Li Si and other ministers of the court also suggested that the First Emperor rest with the people, which also provoked the First Emperor to be angry and reprimanded.

These things made Yin Tong have some additional ideas, and after coming to Huiji County, he immediately managed his power and got very close to the local clans and gentry. Otherwise, the county watchman didn't notice that something was wrong in the county? He just regarded those anomalies as events derived from his own management, and did not realize that everything he worked hard to manage did not belong to him, but to Xiang's.

Because Xiang Liang flattered Yin Tong and flattered him in every way, the two even became friends.

When Hengshan County, Lujiang County, and Changsha County were successively affected by the turmoil in Nanjun, Yin Tong found Xiang Liang at that time and asked, "Is it our chance now?" ”

Xiang Liang, who was anxiously waiting for Fan Zeng's return, hesitated again and again, and replied: "Now that the turmoil has just begun, I don't know what kind of reaction the Qin State will take, and it should continue to lurk." ”

When all the southern counties were in turmoil, armed forces were everywhere, and fighting everywhere continued, Yin Tong found Xiang Liang again and said: "The turmoil has become more and more intense, the county capitals have fallen one after another, and the county soldiers have also rebelled...... This is the heavens that want to destroy Ying Qin. I've heard that the first to do it can control others, and the second one to do it will be controlled by others. I'm going to go to war, what do you think? ”

Xiang Liang, who had not waited for Fan Zeng, was anxious, and said perfunctorily: "I heard that there is a character named Long Ji, he has been very restless recently, recruiting young people everywhere, obviously he has a disobedient heart, why don't you send someone to arrest him and force him to rebel, let's see the reaction of the counties in the county first, and then make a decision?" ”

Yin Tong thought for a while, "Yes, the situation is still unclear now, why don't you throw a small chess piece to test the temptation?" He immediately agreed to Xiang Liang's suggestion. Where did he know that Lu Daolong was a good brother of Xiang Liang's nephew Xiang Ji, and Xiang Liang really wanted to test his control over the counties of Huiji, so he made this move.

Long and no one forced him at all, he was very excited after receiving the instructions, and took five hundred clansmen equipped with iron weapons and recruited hot-blooded youths to raise the anti-flag, almost without encountering resistance, and captured Wusheng County, and then gathered more than 5,000 people with the help of Xiang Liang.

Yin Tong saw that it was just a small chess piece to rebel and obtain a county so easily, and he believed that the sky was going to die to win Qin, but he was also depressed about how the county soldiers of Huiji County were so unbearable, he didn't find it when he sent someone to summon Xiang Liang, and when he was ruthless to recruit the troops to raise the anti-flag, a news came.

Xiang Liang armed Long He as a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and Xiang had not been able to control Damo County, the southernmost part of Huiji, and instructed Long He to lead all his troops to pacify Damo County, where Long He encountered the fiercest resistance.

"A man named Zhong Liwu led the county soldiers to defeat the five thousand rebels of Long Ji?" Yin was stunned when he informed the news of Damo County. "If I'm not mistaken, Zhong Liwu should be from Donghai County, and he was transferred to the Huiji as the five hundred masters a month ago?" , he hesitated a little and looked forward to it, "I didn't know that Lu Dao was the number one person earlier, such a brave husband, he should take it for his own use!" ”

Long He was defeated beyond Xiang Liang's expectations, he also had the idea of collecting Zhong Liwu, and before he could speak when he came to the county guard's mansion, Yin Tong said: "That Zhong Liwu in Damo County is very brave. If you can't take it, you will kill it, so as not to do anything bad. ”

Xiang Liang didn't come to talk about this matter, and he wouldn't allow Yin Tong to subdue Zhong Liwu, so he immediately changed the topic: "There are very few people who responded to Long Ji's army, and he was quickly defeated when he attacked Damo County, it seems that Huiji is not suitable for raising troops at present?" ”

Yin Tong's face was full of depression, and he thought about it carefully: "I heard that there is a big clan called the Xiang clan in Chudi, although they are wanted criminals in the Qin State, they are extremely influential among the people. Other than that. There is also a person named Huan Chu in Chudi, and I heard that this person is brave and good at fighting. Why don't we contact the Xiang clan and Huan Chu and unite them to raise troops, so that the head of Chu and Qian will be attached. There is another general under his command, and the army will definitely succeed. ”

Xiang Liang thought that Yin Tong had already known his identity and was tempted for a moment, but when he looked at Yin Tong, he didn't look like he already knew his identity: "The Xiang family can be contacted, but Huan Chu is ......." Speaking of this, he seemed to stop thinking of something, he forgot that he had not ordered someone to tell Yin Tong the news of Huan Chu's army in Lujiang County.

"What's wrong?" Yin Tong was confused at first, and then his eyes froze. He sensed that something was wrong and thought, "He said that it is not difficult to contact the Xiang family, which means that the local people have always been in contact with the Xiang family?" After thinking about it, I felt as if I had been missing something, and I wanted to open my mouth several times to say something and swallow it.

Xiang Liang naturally noticed the change in the expression on Yin Tong's face, and made an excuse to retire.

Yin Tong looked at Xiang Liang's departing back and fell into deep thought......

The situation is changing, and it is impossible to predict what will happen in the future. To put it simply, the situation is no longer under the control of Xiang and others, and they have generally fallen into a state of uncertainty and chaos.

Fan Zeng, as Xiang's think tank, has been killed by Lu Zhe, and the news has not yet been fed back to Xiang Liang, he has waited for Fan Zeng to return, and no one has discussed it with him. Moreover, the important members of the Xiang Bo, Xiang Ji, Xiang Zhuang and other families are not in Wu County, and now even if they decide to raise troops, there are no cronies who can control the army, and Xiang Liang is in a dilemma of raising troops or not fighting for a while.

For several days in a row, Yin Tong kept summoning Xiang Liang and talked about contacting Xiang many times, and Xiang Liang began to feel that Yin Tong must be suspicious of something, and his heart became anxious.

I didn't pay attention to it before, how could I be indifferent after discovering something, Yin Tong was really suspicious of something. He sent people to contact Xiang many times without success, and when he talked about Xiang with many of his staff, the behavior of those staff members was too strange.

Yin Tong tried many times, and several times he mobilized the county soldiers of several counties, but the local generals used reasons to shirk them. In order to confirm his suspicions, he consulted with his staff and then moved the army, and this time the county soldiers finally moved. He was horrified to find that Huiji County didn't seem to be what he imagined, and it was completely under his control?

It seems that there is a huge palm shrouded in Nanjun, and the instructions issued by Yin Tong will only be executed with the permission of this force, and after discovering this, he was shocked in his heart, and he was suspicious of everyone.

It is impossible for Xiang Liang to be unclear about Yin Tong's constant temptation, and he finally waited for Xiang Bo and Xiang Ji.

The two of them came back in a hurry, and as soon as Xiang Bo saw Xiang Liang, he asked repeatedly: "There are rumors that Fan Zeng was killed by Lu Zhe of Nanjun, does my brother know the news?" ”

Xiang Liang was stunned when he heard it, he had a bad premonition that Fan Zeng would not return for a long time, and when he heard Xiang Bo say that, he immediately believed it, but he had not yet spoken, but he heard a roar like thunder......

"Thief!" It was the burly Xiang Yu who spoke, at this time his resolute face was full of hideousness, and his double eyes showed a fierce light: "If you dare to kill my Xiang clan's subordinates, you will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”

"Killing is to kill, but that's a long-term worry, but there are near-term worries at the moment," Xiang Liang said about Yin Tong's situation and asked Xiang Bo: "You are running around, how is the situation?" ”

Xiang Boxuan briefly described it.

"In this way, Zhang Er and Chen Yu of Zhao Di, Zang Di, Han Guang, and Wei Man of Yandi, and Wei Bao of Wei Di ......" Xiang Liang said a long list of names. There was a pause: "All the troops have risen?" It's too early, too early. Why didn't they follow the plan and launch those abandoned sons to test the Qin State......"

Xiang Bo interrupted: "Earlier, it was the outcast that was launched, but I didn't think that the resistance of the counties of Qin State was not fierce, and the head of Qiantou was suffering from the violence of Qin Wudao and responded one after another. They were worried that those abandoned children would become bigger, so they had to raise troops to clean up. ”

"It's still too early, the national strength of the Qin State has not been destroyed, and the news has not yet been transmitted back from the Shu County, and the movements of the Qin State are too strange to raise troops!" Xiang Liang had a bad premonition and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it." I really didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. ”

Xiang Bo also cried and laughed: "Yes, I didn't expect the impact of the turmoil in Yiling to be so great." I have heard a lot of news about Nanjun in Jiujiang County, so Lu Zhe is really unpredictable, brother wants to hear it? ”

It took less than half a month for Nanjun to return to stability, and Xiang Liang knew the news, but what he didn't know was that Lu Zhe had organized a force of more than 100,000 people in two months, and he also united the local clans and gentry in Nanjun.

“…… The first battle destroyed Ouyue and captured Yi Huze; In World War II, Guiyue and Minyue were defeated, and Chang Qinqing was captured. "Uncle Xiang is a little admired and a little jealous." This person is very good at buying people's hearts, which can be seen from winning over Nanjun in a short period of time. ”

Xiang Liang has a different opinion: "Good fighting comes second, the key is what Lu Zhe wants to win the hearts of the people in Nanjun." ”

Xiang Bo thought for a moment: "There must be a disobedience to him, otherwise how would he do this." Furthermore. The rebels in several counties around Nanjun were spreading the news that Lu Zhe had sent people to contact the rebels in Changsha County and had formed some kind of alliance. ”

"Alliance?!" Xiang Liang's heart was shocked: "It's good news, but it's also bad news." ”

"yes!" Xiang Bo agreed: "Nanjun did not send troops to attack the rebels in several counties. It seems that he is still collecting and relieving the heads of several counties, and this person is either benevolent or has a great plan. ”

"The one who plotted is very good!" It was for this reason that Xiang Liang sent an envoy to Nanjun, "In this way." Even if the Baiyue people can't invade Bashu, we can trick Lu Zhe into attacking Bashu! ”

Xiang Bo hesitated: "We haven't been in contact with this ...... before. ”

"Huh!" Xiang Liang didn't seem to be worried at all: "The so-called general trend, Lu Zhe can do this, how can he not understand this?" ”

After Xiang Bo came back, Nanjun sent troops to Qianzhong County, and even took out weapons to trade with Wu Rui of Changsha County, which they didn't know.

And now that Lu Zhe has successfully captured the Qianzhong County Governor's Mansion, and the Nanjun army's battle against Qianzhong County has entered the final stage, if they knew these news, they would not be talking with such a mentality, they should be afraid of Lu Zhe's rapid development.

"Uncle, what are you talking about now? Troops have already risen in all places, and the situation has reached this point and lamented that it is useless. You just said that Yin Tong has noticed something, and if it is delayed, there may be a change again," Xiang Ji said and clenched his fists hard, and after a crackling sound of bones, he continued: "When it is broken, it will be broken, it is better for my nephew to kill Yin Tong, and then we will also raise troops." No matter how late it is, waiting for changes in various places, we will not only succumb to others, but I am afraid that the time will come to ......"

Xiang Liang nodded violently: "That's right!" It's useless to hesitate now! ”

Xiang Ji wanted to speak again, but Xiang Bo preemptively said: "What about Nanjun?" What about the South County side? ”

"Lu Zhe?" Xiang Ji said angrily: "Naturally, it is not the same as it. ”

Xiang Liang glanced at his easily impulsive nephew with some annoyance: "The news has not been confirmed...... Even if Fan Zeng was really killed by Lu Zhe, it was not suitable to pursue it now. What we can do now is to unite all the forces that may oppose Qin, and to hold accountable those who are waiting for the overthrow of the tyrannical Qin. ”

"I think so too......," Xiang Bo nodded approvingly, "Then I'll go and contact my own people in each county, and my brother and Yu will kill Yin Tong." We inform the elders of Huiji County that we will raise an army against Qin tonight! ”

"You're all back, that's exactly how it should be!" Xiang Liang said again: "After killing Yin Tong, I will immediately go to pick up the ambition!" ”

At the same time as Xiang's operation was launched, the people sent by Lu Zhe also happened to enter the meeting.

The location where they entered Huiji County was a coincidence, it was the Damo County where Zhong Liwu was located, and after a short rest, they inquired a lot of information and learned that the concentration of the Huiji Yu clan was in Yuyao.

When the news of Xiang's army reached Damo County, they were about to leave for Yuyao, but they didn't expect that the local county soldiers blocked the city gate, and they couldn't get out of the city for a while.

And because some people rose up to make a rebellion, the county lieutenant conscripted the middle-aged men in the city, and they were forcibly recruited...... (To be continued......)
