King Fan Yang's rebellion was like an inconspicuous fire that suddenly exploded, igniting a fire in this late autumn.
This fire spread and burned in everyone's heart. Some people were as afraid as being in a sea of fire, while others were ignited with burning ambitions.
Ten days before King Fan Yang raised his troops, there was a sudden movement in the northern border. Beidi cavalry invaded again. Thirty thousand Beidi troops approached the border. Cui Jing had already led his troops to fight.
Previously, when Mohe invaded and Kangding Mountain rebelled, Cui Jing led his troops to support him and camped in Youzhou. King Fan Yang's fiefdom was in Youzhou——
Therefore, looking back at the rebellion of King Fan Yang at this moment, it is not difficult to find that they were wary of Cui Jing and Xuance's army, and they would become the second Kangding Mountain, so they chose to seize the northern territory to cause trouble. When Cui Jing had no time to separate,
The mutiny was quickly launched.
It can also be seen from this that King Fan Yang and Duan Shiang had already planned this, and were just waiting for a suitable opportunity to take action.
At this point, Li Fu, King of Fanyang, was the first person to express his clear refusal through actions regarding the imperial court's move to summon all the kings to the capital.
And it is foreseeable that he will not be the last.
Duan Shiang already had great prestige among Fan Yang's army. After taking advantage of the chaos and killing the hesitant Fan Yang Jiedushi with poison, he quickly took control of Fan Yang's army with his ruthless and decisive methods and the title of King Fan Yang's clan.
After that, Duan Shiang quickly moved southward, using his troops like arms and fingers, and his momentum was like breaking bamboo.
"Uncle, as soon as the rain stops, the Xingzhou army will attack the city again. I don't have time to listen quietly!" Cui Lang continued to speak without fear of the old man's majesty: "The situation is so favorable. Are you waiting to run away?
Are you stupid enough to stay outside and wait for the Xingzhou Army to come looking for you?"
"And do you think that true character and responsibility are always the stubbornness to be adaptable, but the determination and courage to retreat when retreating, advance when advancing, and be fearful of death when dying!"
Facing these disappointed looks and questioning voices, Cui Lang felt a little bit ashamed - just kidding, ever since I can remember, I have grown up with such disappointed looks, what am I afraid of?
The members of the Cui family, who were very vague about the pros and cons, could also sense the pretense, and for a moment they looked less emotional.
The old man felt a little sad and a little enlightened. When he looked at Cui Lang again, the prejudice in his eyes dissipated slightly.
The elderly tribesman looked solemn, but there was fear in his eyebrows: "... one of the ministers in the upper province of Chaozhong is a member of your Cui Jing tribe. The Cui family's roots in Beijing are still there. If Wang Lifu wants to achieve small things with integrity, it is possible.
Dare to start a fight under your Fan Yangjun roots!"
A pot holds an umbrella in front of Nuanian, who is wearing a pink shirt.
The noble clans that have stood for hundreds of years, when faced with the opportunity of life and death, always try to look at the situation with luck——
As the origin of Xiaosheng Dragon Vein, Taiyuan’s location is so important that nothing can be missed.
During that brief moment of absence, the old man thought of his family master who was far away in the capital.
In that noisy room, I have put down my robe and knelt down for many years.
Bingzhou Duan Shiang must have a reason to help...
"It is certainly possible to go to the capital." Cui Lang said with bright eyes: "Uncle, you go to the west, to Taiyuan!"
Therefore, these rioters and bandits have never been able to achieve any harm.
"At that time, either hundreds of people in the ancestral home will be under the control of Wang Lifu, and we will become hostages, and our grandfather and father in the capital will be tied up; or we will all become unjust ghosts and go up to see ancestor Cui Jing together.
, when we meet on the spring, all uncles and uncles will feel ashamed, right?"
Such a handsome man for many years opened his mouth and said: "... uncles and uncles, what are we waiting for now? We can just run away!"
The old man's face turned pale with anger when he heard this.
"Crying with the enemy is called having character. Crying behind one's own eldest brother's family has nothing to do with having character!"
An old man of my age grew up during the years when Wei Hui was truly prosperous, so I am even more willing to deny Cui Jing's current prosperity. Once the Cui family is directly mentioned and there is nothing that can be done about it, the old man's body
The weakness supported by the weak weakened and suddenly showed strength.
Therefore, it is almost obvious that we will be controlled by Wang Lifu next.
However, the last moment, when Cui Lang reached the threshold, he paused on his feet, then suddenly turned around and walked back in small steps.
The old man looked at the people who had been kneeling outside for many years.
Everyone fell into deep contemplation for a while.
As soon as such straightforward and embarrassing words were asked, these Cui Jing clan members felt even more ashamed. Just when they were about to reject the proposal, they heard Cui Lang say: "It's nothing. I won't have you. You can cry then."
Also open the gates of Taiyuan City to it!"
The young man quietly glanced at the clansmen who were not yet angry and asked loudly: "...Isn't this too detrimental to the character of the Cui family?"
In the inner hall, the Cui Jing clan members were anxiously discussing matters.
As for our military strength, although it is more than enough to deal with the chaos for the time being, once we actually face the fierce and large Xingzhou Army, it is different from hitting an egg with an egg against a stone...
"But even so, it is only a temporary stability... If Wang Lifu kills you and others, he will definitely take the opportunity to let your Cui family be used by me..."
"Cui Jing's character is the result of hundreds of years of beautiful scholarship! This is a thing from the day before yesterday, like a gorgeous dress, but it should become a shackles for you and others!"
The voice of those words was as loud as before, but the old man who spoke next was stunned for a moment.
That unsteady word made everyone in the hall change their expressions. The eldest old man's face darkened: "Eight Master! If he wants to discuss this matter together, he should sit down and listen quietly!"
The key point in this matter is whether the merger of states is safe enough?
Cui Lang: "You don't know what it is."
Although I agree with Hachiro's view, at this juncture, character is the most important thing, but... you can do it a little bit, right?
Hearing Cui Lang's words, the hall fell into a silent silence.
run?
The threats we are facing right now are not only from Wei Hui'an, but also from the surrounding bandits and rebellious people who are waiting for opportunities to cause trouble due to Wang Li's rebellion.
"He is the eldest son of Wei Hui. He only runs away when trouble comes. If he is so responsible, how will he be in charge of Wei Hui in the future? How will he convince his subordinates?"
"If we live, the Cui family of Qinghe will live. If we die, the Cui family of Qinghe will die!"
Or maybe, the head of the family is taking a fancy to the brightness and flexibility under Hachiro that is different from the others...
"There is a mistake...and if you fall into the hands of Wang Lifu, how will the people of the capital and the family head make a decision?"
In addition, the middle-aged tribesman looked at Cui Lang with a bit of anger: "Eight Lang... this is the Qinghe River, where your Fan Yang military residence is. If you run away like this, you will not have any face in the future."
To meet the ancestors of Wei Hui?"
Everyone in the hall subconsciously looked at Nienian, who was retreating.
Perhaps, only strengths that are not recognized by those old people like us can be called strengths.
But when he spoke again, his tone was not unspeakably simple and powerful: "Qinghe is thousands of miles away from the capital... In such a situation, even if we can walk, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move even an inch."
The Xingzhou army suddenly rebelled, which was almost unexpected by everyone. In addition, the Cui family ancestors moved extremely slowly. It was only when I captured the seventh city of Jizhou that the news could be spread to the center of the capital.
Naturally, it has been many years, but it is also very fresh, as beautiful and heavy as a bird with colorful feathers, without the flying spirit that has not been restricted by layers of rules.
But……
Just like this, those years of kneeling in front of that child... are they the reflection of the people's aspirations of that generation of Cui Jing's disciples?
We are kneeling outside here, as if to remind me, the clan elder, that I am really not very old yet - my body is old, my rules are old, and my knowledge is also old.
Therefore, Duan Shiang's willingness to take the initiative to lead troops out of the city to meet the Wei Hui tribe was the smallest pretense that could be achieved at the time.
The dandy was sent back to Qinghe from the capital by the family master, and was handed over to me to take care of. I was very confident at first, thinking that there was a dandy in the Cui Jing clan who could not be controlled by me, but as time went by, I felt that... the dandy was really inhumane.
Teachable!
Cui Lang took advantage of the cold weather and said: "Uncle, it's too late. Let the clansmen prepare for departure slowly!"
"What Cui Jing used to pass down the family is the cold old house and the rich ancestral property here, but you and other Cui Jing's children!"
Yes, in times of crisis, I really envy him for his irresistible face and self-esteem that has no sense of existence... That kind of courage to survive is really disappointing.
.
At this juncture, Fan Yang is challenging Beidi, and Taiyuan's every move is becoming more and more serious. If the timing is bad, once the Xingzhou army is angered and the opponent attacks, even if Taiyuan has no power to fight, it will never
What a bad situation it will be worth looking forward to.
Governor Wei Hui responded quickly and asked for help from Weizhou and Xiangzhou, only to barely support the situation.
"..." The disciple who asked the question opened his mouth in shock.
Cui's ancestors attacked Wei Hui twice in seven days without success, and encountered another light rain, so the small army temporarily stayed within the boundaries of Jizhou to rest.
"Duan Shiang said in the letter that this was the instruction given by his eldest brother. The eldest brother had never told us to pay less attention to the Cui Jing people in Qinghe."
Very slowly, in front of this old man, a dozen or so younger disciples who were as old as me knelt down.
When Cui Lang turned around angrily and walked inside, the hall was filled with helpless sighs.
"...You are leaving, you haven't finished speaking yet!" Cui Lang stood in the hall, his expression even more hesitant than before, looking at the clan elder sitting at the bottom: "Uncle, you know, Cui Jing started his career back then, and with his
What is it?"
Since before Fan Yang was expelled from the clan, Cui Lang had been regarded by the clan as the offspring of the future head of the clan.
"Uncle, before the overthrow of the Zheng family, although the Cui family is still there, it is no longer the Cui family that can be shaken. And the world is no longer the orderly and controllable world it was in the past -
"
Once the Wei Hui is broken, the Qinghe River will be in danger.
The old man pursed his lips tightly, suppressed his anger, and said firmly: "In that case, let him say it, what is the reason?"
In this way, we must prepare for the situation before the Xingzhou Army breaks through the Cui family.
After all, it was a disciple next to Cui Lang who asked loudly: "But... what if Taiyuan City shuts us out?"
Everyone's expressions were mixed, and for a moment someone actually said something.
While all the tribesmen in the hall were discussing with solemn expressions, a lotus-pink figure of many years came out of the rain and stepped into the hall with small steps.
Regarding Wei Hui's situation at this time, our view is not optimistic: "The Xingzhou army is coming fiercely, and the Cui family may not be able to resist it for long..."
Duan Shi'ang charged and attacked and looted in the front, while Fan Yang Wang Li Fu took a step back, calming the situation and popular support in the rear, recruiting and expanding troops, and slowly accumulating strength.
"...?" Wei Hui and the others looked at me at a loss for words.
But this is only a long-term plan. The situation that will follow will only become more chaotic, and there will be fewer rioters... No matter how thick the small tree is, it has been gnawed by insects and ants day and night.
Cui Jing clan members: "..."
But that seedling is really worrying to look at.
Fan Yang's military residence, located in the Qinghe County of Cui's family, is also being shrouded in the autumn rain at this moment. The simple and deep residence has blurred its original outline in the wind and rain, and all sounds are drowned in the noisy rain.
"Bingzhou is only 800 meters away from Qinghe, so it is the safest choice at present." Cui Lang said: "It is expected that this king Li Fu and Li Fu will easily dare to retreat and invade Bingzhou!"
My voice became even softer: "If this king Li Fu and Li Fu are shameless, they may still deal with us for a while!"
"If you are willing to express your stance after waiting for Chi Chi, who knows how impatient Li Fu is?"
"...Taiyuan?" Other members of our tribe also looked simple: "Bingzhou..."
Taiyuan was placed under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou, and everyone knew that the young governor of Bingzhou was Fan Yang, who was exterminated by us.
I have even finished looking at it, is it possible that our Cui Jing is really at the end of his life? Otherwise, how could Cui Jing be a rebellious person if he is the direct descendant of his family!
These bandits and rebellious people wanted to imitate Bian Chunliang and massacre and plunder the nobles. In those days, they had only gathered a crowd to attack the Cui family once.
Above Jizhou is the Cui family.
"Wei Hui'an wrote in a letter that as long as the Cui family is willing to avoid Taiyuan, I can lead troops to support them all over the city of Taiyuan!"
"But if I want to be shameless, but I'm a lunatic at heart, and imitate Bian Chunliang, who kills us all when he's in a bad mood, what can we do?"
While Cui Lang was speaking, he stood up, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "I must cry for you. You just received a letter written by Duan Shi'ang from the Bingzhou Little Governor's Mansion!"
How could a child that the head of the family personally selected and sent back to Qinghe for protection take him seriously?
The anger that the clan elder had just suppressed was about to bubble up again, and he heard this man continue to say: "But you know, it must be the so-called stubborn character that my uncle is willing to give up at this time!"
"They will definitely blast you, so you can go alone!"
But the Cui family is not comparable to an unusual noble family. We only have a small amount of food, ancestral property, and books, and we do not have a considerable number of servants. In addition, there are more than 7,000 servants in various farms.
The clan elder was stunned when he heard this.
After years of silence, the hall was no longer noisy as it was at the beginning.
That includes the thousands of elite soldiers who were privately raised and left to guard Qinghe.
The head of the family once said that Cui Jing, who is in the same situation, needs a different head of the family to lead the way, because the world is never always the same.
"He..." The old man's lips trembled with anger, and he pointed at Cui Lang: "Kick me out!"
