The Zhu family looked confused for the first time since they met.
He really couldn't think of any value in the news given by Ayan.
The only value is probably... Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang can use this to escape from the Lishan Imperial Tomb?
But the two of them went to Lishan to find their ex-hero Kui Tian Guang. Why did they leave if they didn't find him?
He didn't know the actual purpose of 'Tian Yan', but she definitely didn't send people to the Lishan Imperial Tomb to release them again, right?
"Originally, I sent Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others to Lishan just to fulfill my promise and at the same time attract some of Zhao Gao's attention." Ayan immediately explained, "But now, we may be able to take this opportunity to directly open the
It’s a new era!”
"New... era?" The Zhu family became even more confused.
With this little nonsense, how come it’s a new era?
Ayan replied with a smile, "My idea is that Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others can take this opportunity to rise up directly, confront the empire head-on, and overthrow the emperor's rule!"
"!!!"
Even through a mask, just looking at the two exposed eyeballs, the Zhu family's horror was beyond words.
Liu Ji on the side was even more stunned.
The two of them were shocked not only because of the rebellion itself, but because they didn't understand why they suddenly jumped to the step of rebellion.
As the current situation in the empire continues to develop, sooner or later there will be someone who will start something like a rebel army - in fact, there are many people who are openly rebelling, but they are still small troubles and can't stir up much.
storm.
But it seems that the farmer doesn’t need to be the first person, right?
And now is not the right time.
Not only waiting for Ying Zheng to be completely dead, but also waiting for him to be half dead, not far from death, right?
"Ah this...this..." The Zhu family was a little incoherent. It took several times to get the words right, "Well, there is no reason for the farmers to revolt in such a hurry, right?"
"Palace Master Zhu thinks it's not appropriate for a farmer to be the leader?" Ayan asked calmly after hearing this.
"Is there any problem with this?" the Zhu family asked in confusion.
Being a first-rate bird is not a good word in the first place, is it?
Peasants are not the most enthusiastic organization to resist the empire, so why should they be the leading ones?
Ayan gave a somewhat unclear and abrupt response, "Palace Master Zhu thinks, which anti-Qin force is currently the most popular?"
"Of course it's the Mo family." The Zhu family answered honestly before turning around.
The Mohists may not be the strongest among the forces that resisted the empire, but they are definitely the most aggressive, and it is no exaggeration to say they are the most famous.
But Ayan shook his head, "No, I think it's a farmer."
"How could that be..." Liu Ji subconsciously wanted to help his boss refute, but he came to his senses halfway through the words.
The Zhu family's eyes also showed pain in their balls.
Reputation is something that seems very objective at first glance. After all, it represents other people's opinions of a certain person or group.
In fact, it is very subjective, because different people or different forces may have different views on the same thing, the same person, or the same force.
For Jianghu people, the Mohist family is of course the most famous anti-Qin force, but for the common people, this is not necessarily the case.
The Mo family can be considered a force with a relatively high overall bounty, and the one with the greatest reputation is probably the farmer's family.
This is because the peasants have caused the most serious damage to the empire - not long ago they directly disabled one of the empire's ace troops, the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Soldier.
Tens of thousands of people were lost. When Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, there was no such heavy loss for the ace troops!
Of course, after the Mohist family had been struggling for so many years, it is not necessarily true that the damage to the empire was not as great as that of the peasant family, but it was still not as intuitive and shocking as the war.
As for the Bitter Lord Empire, this matter is equally difficult to say.
The imperial family has a great cause, and even if it is in trouble, it is still a giant with feet of clay. The harassment of the Mohist family like cutting flesh with a blunt knife will hurt it, but not much.
On the contrary, this ‘heavy blow’ from the farmer was even more difficult to accept.
Therefore, in the eyes of the empire, the Mo family may be the most hateful, or the peasant family may be more hateful... Although the first one to be killed was the Little Saint Xian Manor.
If the Mo family had not participated in or planned several assassination operations in succession, especially the Qinglong plan in the east of Songhai City, it would probably not have been possible. The empire would definitely hate the farmers even more.
The farmer's family is still safe and sound, mainly because the empire can't take action for the time being.
But the empire will not be unable to take action forever. Once it remembers one day and has enough people on hand, it will definitely not let the farmers go.
So in a sense, the farmer is already an "outstanding bird".
The Zhu family who came back to their senses asked in a deep voice, "So, Xia Kui thinks that the peasant family will soon encounter revenge from the empire?"
Ayan shook his head and was not overly alarmist. He just replied sincerely, "It may not be soon, but the empire will definitely not forget the account of the armor-piercing soldiers. Farmers have no choice but to hide."
"The current situation is turbulent and chaos in various places is intensifying. Although there is no real rebellious force yet, it is only a matter of time that a 'leading bird' emerges."
"Even if the peasant family is always peaceful, when the empire makes up its mind to clear up the chaos, it will definitely clear us out..."
Liu Ji touched his chin, widened his eyes and said, "So you want to strike first?"
"It's just a precaution." Ayan did not admit Liu Ji's statement. "The manpower transfer has not been finalized yet. If it is early, it may have to wait until the spring of next year. If it is later... it is hard to say. In short, it will not be soon."
"Then... what are Xia Kui's specific plans to do?" After hearing that there were at least three to five months left, the Zhu family put aside their worries about the rebellion for the time being and decided to listen to 'Tian Yan''s specific plans first.
"It's very simple." Ayan immediately told the truth, "If nothing else happens, Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others will be sent to perform garrison duty in the northern border area. They can just find an opportunity to rebel during the journey."
This plan is a bit like putting an elephant into the refrigerator and dividing it into several steps. Both Zhu Jia and Liu Ji didn't know what to say.
"Is it...that simple?" Liu Ji couldn't help but ask first.
"What's the point of planning a rebellion?" Ayan asked with a slight smile.
The most important thing about rebellion is to make up your mind and then do it. There really is no good plan.
Liu Ji's head was full of questions, "What can Hall Master Guang Chen Sheng and the two of them do?"
Ayan replied lightly, "There are at least hundreds of people who were transferred to perform garrison service with them. How could there be only two people?"
"So what if there are hundreds of people? Is it possible that they will rebel with Hall Master Chen Sheng?" Liu Ji spread his hands and felt that he couldn't understand what Xiakui said. "Even if they rebel together, a few hundred people...
What can be done?"
Most of the people who work in Lishan are prisoners. They all sound vicious and full of evil, but in fact they are basically ordinary people, and at most they have some strength.
Without training, no weapons, no ordnance, and no supplies of food and fodder... Even if there are two masters of martial arts, how much big waves can hundreds of people who are not even as good as a mob make a splash?
"So we still need the support of farmers." Ayan responded immediately.
The Zhu family asked, "How does Xia Kui plan to support Brother Chen Sheng and the others?"
"Two options." Ayan nodded and replied.
"The first one is to directly take action from the farmers, and draw at least 10,000 people from the Six Halls to directly join Hall Master Chen Sheng's rebel team. At the same time, the farmers' Sixth Hall will fully support their logistical supplies."
"This is a tough confrontation!" Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
Ayan nodded, "That's right."
"This plan can provide the greatest support to Hall Master Chen Sheng, but the risk is also greater and will make the farmers face the wrath of the empire."
"Xia Kui said so. It seems that the risk of the other plan will be much smaller." Zhu Jia added with a smile.
Ayan nodded again and continued, "Another option is for the farmer to not intervene openly and only allocate a limited number of manpower to support Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others, and they can only provide covert support in terms of material logistics and other aspects.
I’m afraid the strength and stability are both limited.”
"Is this possible?" Liu Ji couldn't help asking.
The emperor is not a fool, and the empire has not been paralyzed to the point of deafness or blindness. How could he fool you so casually?
You know, the emperor can do things without providing evidence.
"I know this very well, so I have to arrange everything in advance." Ayan immediately explained, "My plan is for a senior farmer to lead a group of farm disciples to directly 'rebel' the farm and join the team of Hall Master Chen Sheng.
, in order to clear away the farmers’ involvement in it.”
"The 'high-level farmer' that Xiakui mentioned is me, right?" Zhu Jia stroked the beard on his mask and said with a smile.
Ayan didn't hide it, nodded and replied, "That's right."
Then she ignored Liu Ji, who was almost furious after being comforted by the Zhu family, and continued, "In the battle of Daze Mountain, the only remaining leaders of the Sixth Hall of the Nong Family are you, Hall Master Zhu, and Siyue Hall. Now there are enough important figures in the Nong Family.
It only belongs to you two hall masters."
"Situ Wanli, the leader of Siyue Hall, is an out-and-out gambler. He cannot be trusted. Really important matters must not be entrusted to him. Therefore, I can only leave this matter to you, Hall Master Zhu."
"From a practical perspective, only if you do this, Hall Master Zhu, will it be more real and convincing."
Anyone who knows something about the internal situation of the peasant family knows that Situ Wanli may betray the peasant family, but he will never betray the peasant family in order to help the rebellious Chen Sheng.
It would be too false to let him go.
The Zhu family is just the opposite. Their reputation in the world has always been based on loyalty. They have a close relationship with Chen Sheng, and they have been "persecuted" by the current hero "Tian Yan". It is reasonable for them to betray the farm family and defect to Chen Sheng in desperation.
"Xia Kui means... let me take Shennongtang away from the farm, and then join Brother Chen Sheng's team?" Zhu Jia confirmed again.
Ayan shook his head this time, "There is no need for Hall Master Zhu to take the entire Shennong Hall away from the farm, just take away some of the people. I will allocate some more people to you, at least five thousand people."
"
"If you don't mind, the remaining brothers of Shennong Hall can be led by Brother Liu Ji, and I will hand over the position of hall leader to him."
The position of the leader of the Shennong Hall was passed to Liu Ji, which was Ayan's assurance to the Zhu family that she was not taking the opportunity to get involved in the Shennong Hall, the only one among the six halls of the Nongjia that had not fallen under her control.
However, after all this trouble, Shennongtang will definitely be severely weakened, and without the Zhu family, it is difficult to say whether it can continue to withstand the erosion of her, the hero.
But the Zhu family is not without its benefits.
If Chen Sheng's rebel team really takes off, his benefits will naturally be indispensable. If it really develops, he will probably live a more prosperous life than in the farmhouse.
Of course, high risk and high reward have always been integrated with each other. It depends on whether the Zhu family is willing to give it a try.
The Zhu family did not rush to answer, but Liu Jixian was unwilling:
"Miss, your calculations are too loud, aren't you?"
In anger, Liu Ji even refused to call him "Xia Kui".
Ayan didn't care and replied calmly, "This is just a suggestion, not a decision."
"I made an appointment with Hall Master Zhu just for discussion. I didn't intend to have a talk."
"If you don't accept the second option, then use the first option. Even if you don't agree with the first option, you can just abandon the plan."
"Everything can be discussed and discussed."
"And it will take a long time for this matter to be completely settled. There will be at least a few months for us to discuss it slowly."
The Zhu family looked at Ayan and were not impressed by the loose conditions offered by him.
It's true that everything can be discussed, but no matter how you talk about it, the other party will not suffer any loss. Anyway, they are the ones who take the lead. The only difference is whether Chen Sheng is unlucky alone or if he is also involved.
But the Zhu family is willing to talk.
Because farmers really have to prepare for a rainy day.
The more chaotic the situation in the empire, the tougher the emperor's attitude will be, and the greater the military's say.
And neither of these two will let go of the peasant family who severely damaged the armor-piercing soldiers, whether it is to stabilize the situation in the empire or to regain ground.
If Chen Shenglai, who had effectively left the farm, could be allowed to take the lead and attract the empire's firepower, the farm could avoid the empire's wrath in a short time.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to agree to the first option.
This plan is basically to let farmers be the vanguard to face the empire's first and most ferocious counterattack.
Of course, after raising the banner of rebellion openly and honestly, the peasant family can gather a momentum greater than that of a hundred thousand disciples, and it will not be unable to sustain it even in the face of the empire's full offensive.
As long as they withstand the initial fierce attack and gain a firm foothold under the empire's offensive, the peasant family will become stronger and more glorious, surpassing hundreds of other schools in one fell swoop and becoming the true number one... Although this number one can
How long it will last is hard to say.
Although this is a plan with pros and cons, the Zhu family does not want to take this risk because the risk is too great.
Although the risk is high and the reward is high, the risk is too great. Not only is the probability of thunderstorms too high, but after a thunderstorm, farmers will have to bear the catastrophe, and there is no room for relief.
He is not a gambler, and he doesn't mind rolling a dice occasionally, but he would not do such a thing as putting all 100,000 farmers' disciples on the gambling table, and then deciding the outcome at once, as long as he is not crazy.
This is also the reason why Ayan directly ignored Situ Wanli, the leader of Siyue Hall, in this matter.
That guy is a pure gambler. Once he gets to the top, he will do anything and betray anything.
