Liu Xiu was puzzled by what he heard and murmured: "I'm going to be in disaster. Ziling comes to Xinye to save me?"
Deng Yu rolled his eyes and invited everyone into the main room. They took off their shoes and sat cross-legged one after another. Deng Yu poured tea for everyone and said: "Uncle Wen, don't listen to Zi Ling's crazy words. He may not be able to tell anyone. Wherever you go, you cheat and cheat, and when someone finds out, you have no choice but to run to Xinye to take refuge!"
Yan Guang raised his head and laughed, saying, "Uncle Wen is going to start a rebellion. If I don't help him, wouldn't it be a real disaster?"
As soon as he said this, Deng Yu's hand that poured tea trembled. Liu Xiu, Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan were also shocked and looked at Yan Guang with dumbfounded eyes.
Especially Gai Yan and Long Yuan, they met Yan Guang for the first time and knew nothing about this person. Their first impression after meeting him was that he had a fairy spirit about him. Could it be that the Lord's A classmate is really a semi-immortal. Does it count if he can pinch her?
Deng Yu put down the teapot, rubbed his chin and looked at Yan Guang.
He can be 100% sure that Yan Guang does not have a clairvoyance and has no ability to do calculations. But for him to say such a thing is definitely not without purpose. And judging from the reactions of Liu Xiu and others, it is very likely that he said it. Deng Yu was just curious as to how Yan Guang could tell that Liu Xiu was going to rebel.
Seeing Yan Guang's cheerful look, as if he had everything under control, Deng Yu was furious. He asked: "Ziling, stop pretending, tell me, how did you know that Uncle Wen was going to Raising troops to rebel?"
Yan Guang said with a smile: "Uncle Wen's eldest brother Liu Yan is now recruiting customers. With Brother Liu's family wealth, what is he going to do to recruit so many customers? Can he afford to support them? There is only one possibility, isn't Brother Liu going to do it? Rather than raising them, we have to use them, but what can we do to use so many customers?"
After Yan Guang's analysis, Deng Yu secretly nodded, feeling that Yan Guang's analysis was quite reasonable.
"Brother Liu has a high reputation in Nanyang. He responds to hundreds of calls and wishes to have countless followers. This is a harmonious relationship. Now the world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, people miss the Han people, and Brother Liu happens to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty. This is the right time. Red in the north Mei is getting worse and worse. The imperial court is bound to send troops to suppress it, and among the generals available in the imperial court, no one is more suitable than Lian Dan. Lian Dan will definitely be transferred back to the capital by the imperial court to attack Chi Mei. In this way, Come, there is an uprising in Nanyang, and there is no direct threat from the surrounding areas. This is due to the favorable geographical location. With the favorable weather, favorable location, and people, it is natural for the Liu brothers to rise up and rebel."
After listening to Yan Guang's words, Deng Yu was thoughtful, and Liu Xiu admired his classmate and friend so much that he bowed his hands to Yan Guang and said, "Although Zi Ling is not an immortal, he is better than an immortal!"
Yan Guang laughed, picked up the teacup, and took a slow sip of tea.
Liu Xiu was still thinking about Yan Guang's analysis just now. Without any warning, Yan Guang suddenly leaned towards him, almost leaning on him, and stared at him intently. Liu Xiu was caught by him. With hair all over his body, he asked: "Ziling, what do you think I am doing?"
Yan Guang frowned and said in confusion: "There seems to be a golden light flashing in Uncle Wen's body, but it's strange, why didn't I notice it before?!"
Hearing Yan Guang talking nonsense again, Deng Yu raised his forehead and said: "Is there golden light in the body? Zi Ling, do you want to say that Uncle Wen is the rightful emperor in the world today?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiu was startled. Zhu You slapped his thigh, looked at Liu Xiu, grinned widely, and said, "I think your lord is the right one!"
Deng Yu's eyes flashed, not because of Zhu You's words, but because of Zhu You's name for Liu Xiu. It turned out that Zhong Xianye had become a disciple of Uncle Wen. It seemed that the Liu brothers were really going to rebel.
When he was in Taixue, Zhu You listened to Liu Xiu's words very much. Deng Yu was not too surprised that Zhu You would work with the Liu brothers.
He turned to look at Yan Guang and asked: "Ziling, when you come to Xinye this time, do you also want to worship Uncle Wen as your lord?"
"It's not a bad idea!" Yan Guang said with a smile.
Then, he looked at Liu Xiu, slowly suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Uncle Wen, you know my temperament. I can assist you, but I will not give you orders. Is Uncle Wen willing to accept it?"
The implication is that now I can work by your side, make suggestions, and assist you with all my heart, but when I don't want to do it anymore, don't stop me, I can leave whenever I want.
Liu Xiu smiled when he heard this. This was the Yan Ziling he knew. He had a weak temperament and was unfettered. He always yearned for a life of freedom of movement. Ziling did things according to his inner likes and dislikes, regardless of right or wrong.
He stood up, bowed deeply to Yan Guang, and said, "Uncle Wen is deeply grateful to Zi Ling for helping me. No matter what conditions Zi Ling proposes, Uncle Wen will accept them!"
Yan Guang immediately stood up, straightened his coarse clothes and trousers, returned Liu Xiu's hand, and said seriously: "Zi Ling is just an idle person. Thanks to Uncle Wen for not giving up, Zi Ling should do his best." , accomplish great things for Uncle Wen!"
When Deng Yu saw this, he blinked and stood up immediately after him. He also saluted Liu Xiushen and said, "My lord, I also bow to Zhonghua!"
Since they met in Chang'an, Deng Yu admired Liu Xiu's personality and virtue very much. At that time, Liu Xiu was just an unknown ordinary person in the eyes of others, but Deng Yu felt that Liu Xiu was by no means a thing in the pool and would definitely achieve great things in the future. A big deal.
Now that it was known that Liu Xiu and Liu Yan were going to rebel against Mang, and that Yan Guang and Zhu You were willing to assist Liu Xiu, Deng Yu naturally did not want to be left behind.
Liu Xiu really didn't expect that even Deng Yu, a close friend from his classmate who had always been young and mature, would be so willing to join his side. You must know that what they are doing now is not an ordinary thing, but rebellion, which is the death penalty for losing one's head!
He said meaningfully: "Zhonghua, do you know how dangerous it is to rebel against someone?"
Deng Yu nodded and said: "Of course I know! If you fail, your reputation will be ruined and your head will be missing; if you succeed, you will be successful and famous, and your ancestors will be honored. We are living in troubled times and our lives are precarious. Instead of mediocrity in this life, it is better to risk everything and give it all a try!" "
"Xiu is deeply pleased that Zhonghua can have such determination, and Xiu is deeply frightened that Zhonghua can entrust his life to me!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu bowed his hand to Deng Yu.
If the joining of Ma Wu and Yao Qi gave Liu Xiu a qualitative leap in strength, then the joining of Deng Yu and Yan Guang gave Liu Xiu another qualitative improvement in strength.
The former two represent the word "Martial", which can be used to draw up a sword and mount a horse to determine the world; the latter two represent a word, which can strategize and stabilize the world.
After everyone sat down again, Deng Yu asked seriously: "What resources do the lord and the general have now?"
Liu Xiu said: "In Yizhou, there are Mawu and Yaoqi. They have a thousand war horses. As long as they give time, they will be able to cultivate a thousand elite cavalry!"
Deng Yu nodded while listening, while Yan Guang played with the tea cup happily.
Liu Xiu continued: "In Wancheng, Li Shouhui will support us."
"Wancheng Li Shou?"
"Exactly! Li Shou's son Li Tong and nephew Li Yi have already worshiped his eldest brother. When there is an uprising in the future, Li Shou will give his full support!"
Deng Yu nodded and asked, "Is there any more?"
"Then there is my brother-in-law Deng Chen! My brother-in-law and I have talked privately, and he has also made a statement. When trouble breaks out, the Deng family will stand on our side!"
Deng Yu rubbed his chin and said nothing in deep thought.
Yan Guang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The Li family in Wancheng is strong, wealthy, has many customers, and has high prestige. The greatest support the Li family can give to the lord is to raise troops in Wancheng!"
Liu Xiu looked thoughtful.
Yan Guang continued: "Although the prestige and influence of the Deng family in Xinye is far less than that of the Li family in Wancheng, the foundation laid by the ancestors of previous generations is still very good. What is particularly important is the friendship between the Deng family and the Yin family.
Quite profoundly, if the Deng family can get the support of the Yin family, they can definitely raise troops in Xinye!"
Liu Xiu's eyes lit up and she looked at Yan Guang.
Yan Guang said with a smile: "If Chongling, Xinye, and Wancheng can start an uprising at the same time, plus the reinforcements from Yizhou, it can be said that from the beginning of the uprising, we will have the upper hand and the initiative. This is very important."
It’s important. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you lay the foundation at the beginning, the road ahead will be much easier.”
Deng Yu nodded while listening and agreed with Yan Guang's analysis. He continued: "Whether Wancheng's uprising can be successful is particularly important. Wancheng and the county are close at hand. If Wancheng's uprising succeeds, it will be very important."
Take the county city directly and destroy the county government. As long as the county government is destroyed and the whole county is leaderless, we can achieve great things!"
Liu Xiu slapped his thigh and felt that Deng Yu and Yan Guang had come to the right point. The location of Wancheng's land was so good. It was close to the county town. Whether Wancheng's uprising could succeed would directly affect the success or failure of his side.
He said excitedly and excitedly: "It seems that I should take a trip to Wancheng in a while."
Neither Deng Yu nor Yan Guang had any objections to this, and they both said in unison: "Lord, I will accompany you!"
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "That's very good."
Everyone got excited when they talked, and Zhu You shouted: "Zhonghua, just drinking tea is too boring. Do you have any wine at home?"
Deng Yu smiled, got up and walked to the back room. Not long after, he came out of the back room, holding a wine pot and a plate of fried soybeans.
Seeing this, Zhu You smiled and said with a wide grin: "I have delicious food and drink at home, and I didn't say to bring it out early."
Deng Yu rolled his eyes at him, poured everyone a glass of wine, then put down the flask and said: "I only have so much wine in my house. Mr. Zhong, please take your time and drink..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu You had picked up the wine cup, raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp. He wiped his mouth carelessly and sighed: "Refreshing!"
A breeze blew in the courtyard, and the petals on the ground rotated and flew into the air. The breeze blew into the house, carrying a floral fragrance.
Zhu You sighed comfortably and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhonghua, your little courtyard is really nice! After we overthrow the reckless thieves and recover the Han Dynasty, when we disarm and return to the fields, it will be enough to have a small courtyard like this."
That’s it.”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Zhu You scratched his head and asked: "Lord, what do you want to do in the future?"
Liu Xiu rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "The official is regarded as the king..."
Before he could say the next half of the sentence, Deng Yu, Yan Guang, and Zhu You all said together: "When you marry, you should be like Yin Lihua!"
After speaking, the three of them laughed together again. Liu Xiu blushed and shook his head. Deng Yu patted his head and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Lihua's birthday will be in two days, right?"
