What he didn't expect was that the Han army was able to gather so many soldiers, although most of them were invincible countrymen.

But this also reveals the background and horror of those aristocratic families.

If Han Ting is really given a few more years, and the inside of Han Ting can be concentric, perhaps it is still unclear who will win the battle.

Or change to another Beiting, not Taipingdao, but other feudal countries of the same kind, and the winner may be the current Hanting.

However, how can the current system of the Hanting be in harmony with each other.

In the final analysis, Liu Xie's reform was nothing but a failed reform, a compromise reform, a reform that did not touch the fundamental interests of too many powerful families.

Even if the Han court really won because of the reform, it would only push the Han court from one abyss to another.

But now, Han Ting does not have this opportunity to move from one abyss to another.

The opponents of the Han Ting are Tai Ping Dao, those Qianshou who have suffered under the oppression of the Han Ting, those people who have been abandoned and ignored by the Han Ting, and those people who have been tortured and bullied and filled with anger.

The raging public opinion is like a raging fire, which has been accumulated for decades, and can no longer be suppressed. Both internal and external, eight states are concurrent, and the world is in reverse.

Those skinny and scantily clad Guishou people gathered under Huang Tian's battle flag, their heads were wrapped in yellow scarves, and they fell down one by one, but they still went on, shouting "Wan Sheng" loudly and moving on.

They gathered under Huang Tian's battle flag, vowing to let the emperor of the Han family and those powerful families know that they are not allowed to bully and despise them at will.

They vented the anger in their hearts and vowed to overthrow the high emperor and general to the ground.

Then even if the fire was extinguished, the fire was still left behind.

And this little spark was brought to the Taihang Mountains by Xu An. Under Xu An's leadership, the original spark intensified, and now it has become a prairie fire, and has even swept across most of China. It boils.

The internal treasury was burned to splendor ashes, and the Tianjie was trampled to the bone!

This anger that ignited from the hearts of countless people and burst into the mortal world, until it swept through the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, swept over the Divine State, swept over the world, and swept across the universe...

After all the sins in this mortal world have been burned away, and when the world of Huang Tian is established, it will finally subside.

Troubled times are a game for aristocratic families, but the common people in Qianshou need to fight for their lives.

The death of Zhang Jiao made Taipingdao lose its direction and the situation took a turn for the worse.

However, the arrival of Xu An turned Taiping Dao into a safe place, and made everyone understand who the enemy is and which way to go.

Now Taipingdao has embarked on the right path, and everyone from the generals to the soldiers understands why they are fighting.

In the offensive and defensive battle of Shangyong, those Ming soldiers who risked their lives and went on to succeed did not fight for military pay and money, nor did they fight for dignitaries, emperors and generals.

Under the rule of the Taiping Dao, they had hope and the dignity they deserved as human beings. They were unwilling to return to the rule of the Han court again, to bear the heavy extortionate taxes, and to endure the oppression and exploitation of the powerful family.

Xu An closed the document.

Today's Taiping Road is no longer the previous Taiping Road, and today's Ming Army is not the former Yellow Turban Army.

Now his army truly has the support of all peoples.

The people here no longer only refer to those so-called powerful families, but the real people of the world.

Xu An didn't even take a look at the Han court crusade document that was presented on the side.

There is no need to read that call-to-action, even if it is written with hype and eloquence, so what?

All the generals sit in a row in the hall.

Most of the counties of Xiapi and Guangling have been liberated, Huaiyin and Huailing are already in their hands, and Gongsundu even took the main force of the navy into the Yangtze River and went back and forth.

"Have the captives in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, as well as the garrison affairs, been settled properly?"

Xu An looked up at Jia Xu who was on the side.

"It has been settled properly. All the captives have been placed in several large camps, and soldiers have been left to monitor them. All the powerful families and important figures from all over the country have been concentrated in the government offices in the county. There will be absolutely no disturbances. .”

"For the issue of the garrison, according to the previous plan, the troops from Zhongzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and other states were mobilized to Qingzhou, and now they have arrived one after another."

"Cities in Qingzhou have completed their defense changes, and temporary police forces have been set up in various places to maintain law and order."

"The city of Xuzhou has also completed the defense change, but the temporary police force has not yet been fully established, and it is expected to be completed within five days."

Xu An nodded slightly. He couldn't fully trust those powerful families who surrendered. Otherwise, if there was a fierce battle on the front line, there would be a sudden riot in Qingxu's rear. Once the food road was cut off, the situation would be extremely critical.

So he had already arranged a countermeasure early in the morning. Relying on the powerful military force, he directly controlled the powerful families and surrendered troops in Qingxu and Xuzhou.

"Here's an order that Lu Bu and Xu Huang will lead the army northward, and Qu Yi will lead the army southward."

Xu An looked around at the generals, the killing intent in his heart was not concealed in his eyes.

His gaze finally landed on the map hanging in the hall, and on Pengcheng in Xuzhou.

"Since the Han army is seeking their own death, let them fully understand the gap..."

Xu An's voice was low, but extremely strong.

No matter what Liu Xie is thinking, in the face of absolute strength, everything is nothing but illusion.

"It's in Pengcheng..."

Xu An slammed his fist on the table in front of him, making a loud noise.

"Completely defeat the Han court!"

……

Yingchuan, Yingyin County.

This is the hinterland of Yuzhou and the core area of ​​Hanting.

Only when Dong Zhuo was in chaos in the capital in the past, this place was slightly involved in the military disaster. Other than that, the repeated turmoil did not affect much.

To be precise, it didn't have much impact on Yingchuan's aristocratic family. Ordinary people in the head of Guizhou still have to bear heavy taxes like other places.

The singing and dancing here is peaceful, and the luxury and money fans have nothing to do with these small people in the head of Guizhou.

A high wall divides Yingchuan County into two worlds.

The aristocratic families live in the high-walled compound protected by family soldiers, while the small people in the head of Guizhou are restrained in the township of Juluoting, restrained in heavy work and farming.

Kunshan jade broken phoenix screamed, Furong cried and dew Xianglan laughed.

Cold light melted in front of the twelve gates, and 23 silk moved the purple emperor.

Not long ago, the Emperor Ming issued an edict ordering the soldiers from all over the world to gather in Pengcheng to issue a call to action. Kang was so passionate that he wanted to fight to the death with the Ming army.

But in the deep house compound here, there are still bursts of silk and bamboo, the sound of music is constant, and the world is full of luxury, without being affected in any way.

It seemed that the situation on the front line had no effect on them at all.

8 Chapter Eighty

The candles flickered lightly, and the house was as bright as day.

Although the furnishings in the house are simple, they are extremely luxurious.

But in this huge house, there are only four people sitting in it.

The youngest of the four seems to have passed the year of destiny.

It's just that although they are not young anymore, they have a power and influence in every gesture, which makes people feel awe.

All the dishes placed in front of the table of the people in the house were delicacies, but none of the four people looked at the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Among the four people in the house, none of them was simple.

In this discussion, they did not represent the four of them, but the clan behind them.

The four belonged to the Xun family of Yingyin, the Chen family of Xuxian County, the Zhong family of Changshe, and the Han family of Wuyang.

"The guards and servants are all far away, and there is no idler here."

The first to speak was an old man sitting on the right hand. The old man was wearing a jade crown, a red robe and a silver belt around his waist.

"Any words spoken in this house today will not go up to the sky, nor will they go down to the earth. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it, and you don't have to cover it up."

The other three people in the house are all human beings, and two of them exchanged glances with each other, and each of them had a little understanding in their hearts.

After a moment of silence, an old man with long beard wearing purple satin brocade embroidered gown and gray-white fox armpit fur was the first to ask.

"I heard that Chen Du summoned all the soldiers from all over the world to fight against the Ming army in Pengcheng. How is this true?"

He didn't wear any ribbons on his body, and he didn't seem to be very well informed about the news from the court.

The old man in red robe nodded.

"That Chen Du issued an imperial edict to the world. This matter is not a secret. Although you are already out of work, don't tell me that the Yingchuan Zhong family has no knowledge of this matter."

"Humph."

The purple-robed old man snorted coldly.

"The question I'm asking is whether the emperor really wants to fight the Ming army in Pengcheng, or whether there are other arrangements."

"Although Chen Du is young, if someone treats him as a child, he is probably a real idiot."

"It has been more than two years since the Zhangwu reform, and the changes in the middle school have changed three times a day."

"Chen Du's thoughts, can you guess through it?"

"The Embroidered Clothes Emissary has been developing in Chendu for several years, but who knows about our four families? Didn't the news about the Embroidered Clothes Emissary come slowly after the war broke out?"

The face of the red-robed old man froze obviously, and then became much more gloomy.

Just as the red-robed old man was about to speak again, another old man wearing an iron crown spoke softly.

"Nowadays the situation is changing and the overthrow is imminent. If you have time to make noise, it is better to think about the future."

"Taipingdao doesn't have a good color for people of my status."

The atmosphere in the house fell into silence for a while because of the iron crown old man's words.

The red-robed old man sitting in the first seat condensed his face slightly and let out a long sigh.

"It's really time to think about the way out..."

The purple-robed old man who confronted him also frowned tightly, and didn't say anything to refute.

"The way out?"

"Could it be that you want to surrender to Ming Court?"

While the three were silent, the last old man in the house who had been silent for a while finally spoke.

This person is wearing a dark red brocade jacket and a long blue tassel ribbon on his waist. His beard and hair are half white, but they are combed extremely neatly, without any messy hair.

Gong, Hou, and general purple ribbons; Jiuqing, Zhong Erqianshi, and Erqianshi green ribbons.

Nowadays, wars are frequent and there are many generals. It is no longer the time when Zhonglang General was already a high-ranking military officer, so generals can no longer wear purple ribbons.

But the green ribbon has not changed, and only important ministers with more than two thousand stones can wear it.

Among the four, only he was wearing a ribbon.

His words caught the eyes of the other three people in the house in an instant.

"In the world of life, loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of one's life."

"When our ancestors lived on Hanlu and the country was in danger, not only did we not want to serve the country, but instead wanted to find a way out, collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

"Surrender in this matter is worth living, but aren't you afraid of being ridiculed and despised by the people of later generations?"

The words of the old man with the green ribbon did not change the thoughts of the other three.

"Loyalty?"

The old man wearing the iron crown snorted coldly, as if he heard something extremely funny.

"If the other family talks about loyalty and filial piety, I have nothing to say, but your Xun family's actions don't seem to be convincing?"

"You, the Xun family, were a big promoter of the Wuchen change. Without the support of your Xun and Yuan families, He Jin would have obediently accepted the edict and honored Dong Hou as emperor, and there would be no subsequent palace chaos that made Dong Zhuo enter Beijing. , take control of the government."

"When the Son of Heaven first arrived in Chendu, I didn't see any of you from the Xun family coming to see him."

"The Zhangwu reform, you, the Xun family, also raised a lot of objections, and even secretly obstructed the reform."

The old man with the iron crown didn't continue talking, just stopped.

"The Ming army now occupies seven prefectures and nine provinces. There are countless elite soldiers and strong generals. There are millions of men in armor. They coerce all directions and send troops to the eight wildernesses. They have opened up thousands of miles of territory. It is hard to beat it."

"Qingxu's defeat is enough to prove that the Han Dynasty is exhausted."

"Qingxu's 20 elite coalition forces were wiped out once, and the Ming army suffered no more than a thousand casualties. The difference in combat power is as great as the difference between heaven and earth."
