Chapter 196: Alliance
The news of the Yan army's attack on Daijun soon spread throughout the entire Daijun area, and as expected, after learning the news, the local powerful forces in Daijun were all active as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
On the second day after Gao Yuan led the army to leave Daijun, at the invitation of Ma Sheng, the owner of Majiazhuang, more than 20 leaders of local powerful forces in Daijun gathered in Majiazhuang to discuss countermeasures. In fact, this kind of gathering, in the past few months, has been held three or four times, but each time it has been fruitless, but this time it is different, every Haoqiang knows, now the opportunity has come, it depends on how to seize this opportunity.
Ma Sheng first said: "Everyone, I don't need to say that everyone knows that in the past few months, what new policies Gao Yuan has implemented in Dai County are completely changing the ancestral law, which is very harmful, and everyone who sits there again is probably suffering from it." Now that the Yan Kingdom has sent troops to attack Daijun, the plateau has already led the army to fight, and Daijun is empty, it is a good time for us, so I have brought you here, that is, everyone to discuss together, how can we seize this opportunity. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest son Ma Yu immediately stood up and said: "Everyone, don't hesitate, now is a great opportunity, we should immediately start an incident and drive away the plateau, everyone is a person with a face in this place, as long as we say hello, anyone can pull up hundreds of people, as long as we can work together to drive the plateau out of Dai County, and restore the old order of Dai County, it is completely possible." ”
After Ma Yu finished speaking, the others also talked in a whisper, and then Qiu Rui, the head of the Qiu family in Dayuwan, spoke: "Master Ma Zhuang, Master Shaozhuang, although it is said that Gao Yuan has left Dai County to meet the Yan army, I heard that he still left a lot of troops stationed in Dai County, although we can recruit some people, but I am afraid it cannot be compared with the regular army, so it is not so easy to say to the young owner that it is not so easy to say to the young owner if we start things now and grasp the success." Yao Jiang, the head of the Yao family in Octagonal Terrace, also said: "Yes, now the victory or defeat of the plateau and the Yan army is undecided, and even if we succeed in the uprising and occupy Daijun, if the plateau defeats the Yan army and kills it back, what to do, so I think it is better for us to wait and see, and wait for the plateau and the Yan army to divide the victory and defeat, and then decide our actions, isn't it better?" ”
His words also aroused a response from many people, so they also echoed, in the final analysis, it was the destruction of the Yu Zhao family, which really brought heavy pressure to the powerful people in these places, at this time, no one wanted to be the second Zhao family. Therefore, no one dares to come forward at this time, but hopes that others will take the lead, and they will wait until the situation is obvious before making a decision.
The father and son of the Ma family glanced at each other, and they were also a little disappointed in these heroes. Although this gathering was initiated by the Ma family, and the Ma family was the first to raise the incident, if there was no other strong response and support, of course the Ma family would not dare to rely on their own family to start an incident.
At this time, in a corner, a young man stood up and said, "Uncles and seniors, please listen to me." ”
In fact, everyone knows him, it is Zhao Xin, the fish of the Zhao family. In the first few gatherings, Zhao Xin participated, and every time he participated, he also spoke, and the content was naturally to incite everyone to gather and make trouble. However, their brother is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, of course, he has no scruples, and the others are all family people, of course, they will not be fooled by their brother lightly. Even the Ma family, which took in their two brothers, was no exception, although the Ma family was the most active in fighting against the plateau, they would not put their whole family on it.
However, the Ma family's father was full of expectations for this gathering, so Zhao Xin wanted to speak, and Ma Sheng immediately said: "Virtuous nephew, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Zhao Xindao: "In the past few months, you must have been deeply affected by the new laws of the plateau, how many households have been divided into your homes now?" ”
This sentence really touched the hearts of many Haoqiang, although the plateau opened up and gave these Haoqiang six months of buffer time, but this is only to postpone the time of each Haoqiang split, and when the time comes, the split is still unavoidable, and some Haoqiang has gone through more than two months, and there is still no way. And some Haoqiang families have been in a mess by the clans who have divided their property, so almost every Haoqiang has a headache for the decree of demolishing the household. was mentioned by Zhao Xin, which immediately aroused everyone's thoughts, so there was another discussion.
Zhao Xin and the others calmed down a little before they said: "You may think that as long as you obey the new laws of the plateau, you will be able to save the life of your family, even if you lose a little, you can endure it, it is better than being like our Zhao family, completely wiped out, but everyone has thought about it, once everyone's family is split, then everyone's power will be greatly weakened, and after a long time, I am afraid that all of you will go into decline, and those ordinary farmer families are no different, Are you willing to be a civilian? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately caused a burst of discussions, and Zhao Xin continued: "Our Zhao family just doesn't want to die out slowly like this, so we fought with the plateau to the end, and the family was ruined, but if you don't fight hard, it will also slowly die, in fact, the plateau is killing you with a soft knife, so that your family will perish unconsciously." ”
Zhao Ping also stood up abruptly and said loudly: "What are you waiting for? Now that Gao Yuan has left Daijun, leaving only his wife to guard Daijun, what use can a woman have? There are so many of you and you have the financial resources, what are you afraid of? As long as we work together, work together, and capture Daijun in one fell swoop, we can cut off the supply of grain and grass and retreat from the plateau, so that the plateau will inevitably be defeated in the hands of the Yan army, and there is no need to worry that the plateau will come back to recapture Daijun, what else do you have to fear. If you really wait until the plateau defeats the Yan army and returns to Daijun, it will be difficult to drive the plateau away, so now is a rare and good opportunity, if you miss it, then there will be no more. ”
It turned out that at the previous party, although the two brothers desperately incited everyone to oppose the plateau, but there was no effect, Zhao Xin also seriously summarized the reason, in addition to the mentality that all the heroes are unwilling to make the first bird, there are also their own words to incite everyone, and they have not said to the point, after all, blindly emphasizing the new decree of the plateau is not good, and it is useless to infringe on the interests of the heroes, most of the heroes have to suffer a little loss, saving their lives is the most important, so there must be a new rhetoric, to be able to impress these heroes.
So Zhao Xin thought hard for several days, and finally grasped the demolition of the household, and expanded it infinitely. In fact, the demolition of households can indeed inhibit the development of powerful forces, but this is a long-term process, even if each powerful is split, it will only become dozens of small powerful people, completely degenerate into civilians, and it will take decades to become younger. But Zhao Xin deliberately exaggerated the danger of demolishing households in order to intimidate these heroes.
However, Zhao Xin's set was really effective, and it immediately caused a sense of crisis among the heroes.
At this time, a strong man stood up and said, "Young Master Zhao, have you ever thought about it, if we succeed in our move and also cause the plateau to lose to the Yan army, then what should we do next, who will manage Daijun?" ”
Zhao Xin was stunned, he didn't expect this, but his reaction was not slow, and he immediately replied: "As long as the plateau is driven away, everyone can discuss other matters together, and recommend one or several people who are recognized as qualified to manage Dai County." But no matter who it is, it is always our own people, and Daijun can return to the previous order. ”
Another Haoqiang said: "But if the Yan army defeats the plateau and then comes to attack the county, what should we do?" Don't just drive the tiger at the front door and enter the wolf at the back door. ”
Zhao Xindao: "This is also easy to do? As long as we control Daijun first, even if the Yan army calls, we can negotiate terms with them, as long as Yan does not change the order of Daijun, we will surrender to Yan State, if we want to rule Daijun for a long time, we must rely on our local powerful forces, Yan State will not not understand. If the Yan State still intends to continue the plateau, don't be afraid, don't forget that there is also the Qin State, now that the Qin army is stationed in Quyang, we can garrison Daijun while liaising with the Qin State, attracting the Qin army to fight against the Yan army. ”
After listening to Zhao Xin's words, everyone talked for a while, and then fell silent.
At this time, Ma Sheng said again: "What do you have to hesitate about, now there are only two ways to go in front of you, one is to unite, drive away the plateau, and protect our interests; One is to wait for the slow demise and become an ordinary civilian, how do you choose. ”
After a long while, Qiu Rui stood up and said, "Okay, I've decided, I'll fight with Gao Yuan, as long as it's a move, even if it's me, what to do next." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Jiang also said: "Our Yao family can't sit still like this, so I also decided to participate in the uprising, how can we do it?" ”
As soon as the two of them expressed their position, the other heroes also expressed their willingness to participate in the uprising, even if there were a few heroes who wanted to hesitate and wait and see, they could not help but express themselves at this time, so they all agreed to start the incident immediately.
Ma Sheng was also very happy to see that everyone expressed their willingness to participate in the uprising, and immediately asked everyone to sign and stamp on a piece of white silk, and then ordered his family to slaughter a scalper, and made a blood alliance with all the heroes and powers, an alliance against the rule of the plateau, and thus formed.
