Chapter 221 The Xie Clan Prepares for the Battle of Tang and Zhou
The year of Jiazi, 184, was the seventh year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the first year of Zhongping.
The preparations of the Yellow Turban Army have entered the final stage. On the gates of government offices in various states and counties, many words "Jia Zi" written in lime have appeared.
The various commanders of the Yellow Turbans had already begun to mobilize the Taiping Sect believers from all over the country. As soon as Zhang Jiao ascended the mountain and shouted, they would officially rise up and overthrow the Han Dynasty.
Nanyang County, the inner courtyard of Huaxia Academy, in front of the alchemy room.
"Here you come?" Xie Xin walked out of the alchemy room and saw Xie Yi already waiting outside.
"How was the harvest?" Xie Yi asked with a smile.
"Just see for yourself!" Xie Xin smiled and threw a bottle of elixir over.
"Body Tempering Pill, and it's of high quality! Brother, your alchemy skills have improved again!" Xie Yi was pleasantly surprised.
"I was bored, so I indulged in it..." Xie Xin said with a wry smile.
"Then why do you have to live in seclusion for ten years?" Xie Yi threw the elixir back.
"Sometimes you rest just to reach your destination safer." Xie Xin smiled and took the elixir back.
"It is said that those who defy heaven compete with heaven for time, but why is our leader a completely different person?" Zuo Ci also walked to the door of the alchemy room and asked with a smile.
"Who knows?" Xie Yi waved his hand, saying that he didn't know either.
"Stop talking nonsense, how are you preparing?" Xie Xin also changed the subject immediately.
"As my brother told me, everything is ready!" Xie Yi gestured with his thumbs and said proudly.
"Ten days at the latest, these days at the earliest, don't make any mistakes!" Xie Xin asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, after this battle, the Xie family will become the largest family in Nanyang. This outcome is inevitable." Xie Yi said confidently.
Then, he complained a little depressed: "For a game like Mao, given the situation of our Xie family, we can only gain control of Nanyang County? Ordinarily, even if we take away the entire Jingzhou or the entire Yuzhou, it will be nothing?"
"It's pretty good. Wancheng originally belonged to the Yuan family, and now it's a kindness to give it to us. In fact, if it weren't for us, mainly because I have an important importance to the Yuan family that cannot be ignored, I'm afraid they would only treat Zunyi as their own.
Leave it to us near the countryside." Xie Xin sighed slightly.
Before Xie Yi could say anything, he continued: "Don't forget, our Xie family is just a small local clan, not even an aristocratic family. And before you became the clan leader, our family has always been independent in the Xie family.
Outside the clan, his status is even lower.
At that time, we were the targets of all the aristocratic families, so they might be very kind to us. But now that we have unified the Xie family and want to take this opportunity to develop into a aristocratic family, it is equivalent to announcing that we will join the war for resource hegemony.
middle.
You must know that this big man only has so many resources, and there are so many aristocratic families dependent on it. If you don’t have enough to eat, how can you give it to others? So the moment I, Xie, was promoted to a noble family, first of all, I was equal to all the big Han’s little ones.
The family has declared war.
In other words, from this moment on, we have only two paths to take. One is to continue to grow and develop, and the other is to become attached to a middle-class family.
Didn't you notice? After we announced our participation in this game, the Yuan family, Cao family, Chen family, Xun family and other aristocratic families all acted very friendly. That's because they all hope to win over us.
But while being friendly, there is also a sense of wariness in the eyes. This is because they are worried that we will be promoted to a middle or high-grade family, not only completely out of their control, but also have to compete with them for resources."
"The way of this aristocratic family is really too complicated. Brother, why don't you just follow my advice that I have made a hundred and thirty times and let you be the clan leader!" Xie Yi said with a wry smile.
"Then I will reject your proposal for the 131st time. I will never serve as the clan leader, but I don't trust others to hold this important position, so you, the younger brother, have to sacrifice.
method.
At most, if you really don't want to, just get married and have children as soon as possible. If your son has this ability, you can pass the position to him." Xie Xin said with concern.
Originally, according to history, Xie Jing should have been born a long time ago. But in this time and space, this brother has never been married, and I don’t know what he is thinking.
"Isn't there something suitable for this..." Xie Jing said with a blushing face.
"Don't tell me you haven't. I saw you and Haruyue were quite close before..." Zuo Ci interrupted.
"Shi Yuanfang, do you believe that I will actually sew your mouth shut?!" Xie Yi threatened viciously.
"If you are not afraid of losing your arms and legs, feel free to do so." Zuo Ci smiled lightly.
In terms of cultivation, perhaps Zuo Ci is not as good as Xie Yi.
But what Zuo Ci has in his hand is the magic weapon Talisman and Seal. If he really wants to fight, Xie Yi will definitely be completely tortured.
"Haruyuki? Oh ha! So, brother, you..." Xie Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Brother...am I...am I not the right person?" Xie Yi asked cautiously.
"Brother, your happiness is also my responsibility! Haruyuki is just a girl, and her status is really not suitable for you as the clan leader. If possible, it is okay to marry her as a concubine. But if you really love her, you have to do it.
Anyway, I will help you intercede with me!" Xie Xin gestured with his thumb.
Speaking of which, Xie Yi's habit seems to have been learned from him.
"It's not urgent..." Xie Yi waved his hands in a panic, and then ran away immediately.
"But is this really good? Haruyuki's background has not been verified yet?" Zuo Ci asked in a low voice, leaning against the door frame.
"Didn't you hear? 'This is not urgent', right?" Xie Xin replied with a smile.
"I'm going to prepare..." Zuo Ci finally understood.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Xie Xin smiled lightly.
"Speaking of which, you have no plan to let your son inherit the position of patriarch?" Zuo Ci suddenly turned around and asked casually.
"Those two boys? Let them forget it..." Xie Xin waved his hands, obviously not intending to talk about this topic.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Xie Xin came to the outer courtyard school.
It's lunch break now, but there are still many students in the library and training ground.
In the martial arts training ground, a four or five-year-old child was practicing martial arts under the guidance of a thirteen-year-old boy.
Outside the martial arts training ground, a six or seven-year-old child, accompanied by a thirteen-year-old boy, was talking about some interesting things while looking at the two people in the martial arts training ground.
"These two boys..." Xie Xin sighed, bypassing them and walking into his office.
One wants to be prime minister, and the other wants to be general.
It should be said that they were led astray by those two little brats Wei Yan and Guo Jia?!
As his eldest son and second son, he neither wants to become an immortal nor become a dean, nor does he want to be a clan leader.
Might as well be more obedient than their sister...
Yes, is it because I have failed in education? It is so smooth to teach students with my hair, but it is so difficult to teach my own son?!
At the same time, Luoyang.
"Are you Tang Zhou?" Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi looked at the young man next to him coldly.
"I am Taiping Sect Tang Zhou!" Tang Zhou said calmly.
"Are you serious about what you said?" Zhou Yi asked seriously.
Today he received a secret report from Tang Zhou. At first he thought it was just a joke. But after reading the contents of the secret report, he had to treat it carefully.
"It's absolutely true that our army will launch an army in April this year at the most." Tang Zhou replied calmly.
"I'm curious, since you are Zhang Jiao's inner disciple, why did you betray him?!" Zhou Yi asked.
"Firstly, the common people believe that this rebellion will not succeed and do not want to be buried with them; secondly, for the first reason, they hope to use what they have in their hands to exchange for a little wealth." Tang Zhou smiled lightly.
"It's just that I don't think you look like a person who bullies his master and destroys his ancestors!" Zhou Yi snorted coldly.
"How can a person tell what kind of person he is from his appearance? Didn't Wang Mang also have the reputation of 'the reincarnation of Duke Zhou' in the past? But who would have thought that he would turn against him in the blink of an eye?!" Tang Zhou was unmoved.
.
"That's all, as long as what you provide is true, you will be indispensable for a fortune!" Zhou Yi didn't want to continue talking.
To the big man, Wang Mang is an old scar that cannot be opened.
As a Han official, he did not like to discuss this issue in depth.
The next day, after the neutralist Zhou Yi submitted a letter, Liu Hong was furious and personally ordered that Ma Yuanyi, who was lurking in Luoyang as a contact, was immediately arrested and brought to justice, and the rest of the party was almost wiped out.
After it was confirmed that the Yellow Turbans were indeed planning to rebel, Liu Hong became furious and issued an edict to behead Ma Yuanyi and the people he had won over, Feng Xu and Xu Feng. At the same time, he issued an edict to all parts of the country to completely ban the Taiping Sect and capture and kill Taiping Sect members.
As the messenger to Tang Zhou, Liu Hong could only avoid his death, so don't expect any rewards. But for him, as long as he remains useful, that's all.
"Haha, finally, the moment has finally arrived!" When the news reached Julu, he opened his horns and looked up to the sky, laughing.
