In anxiety, Liu Xiu left with his family members and went to Xinye.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful and I felt much more stable.
The Deng family is a large family in Xinye. Today there are Deng Chen, Deng Yu and others, all of whom are outstanding in talent and learning and have amazing temperament. Liu Xiu's second sister married Deng Chen and they are considered relatives. The eldest brother's rebellion was affected
, had no choice but to escape to Xinye.
"Meet my second brother-in-law!"
Liu Xiu cupped his hands.
"Uncle Wen, how are you doing lately?" Deng Chen asked.
"No, my eldest brother rebelled too early. It was a bit reckless...the time has not come yet!" Liu Xiu sighed, "If you rebel at this moment, your chances of winning are less than three levels!"
"Can't wait. If you don't have an opportunity, create an opportunity!" Deng Chen said: "Don't say there are three levels of odds of winning, even if there is one level of odds, you still have to do it. The Great Zhou Dynasty lost its tripod, and all the heroes competed. The winner will be a prince, and the loser will be regarded as a powerful party!"
Liu Xiu was silent.
In the world of Wuhu, he assisted Liu Yu and conquered the Central Plains in the north; in the world of Three Kingdoms, he ended the struggle at the end of the Han Dynasty and revived the Han Dynasty; at the end of the Shang Dynasty, he assisted King Wu of Zhou.
Every word and action may seem extremely risky, but most of them are based on planning and making a decision. When you take action, you already have the winning chance.
In essence, Liu Xiu doesn't like taking risks or clever calculations, but is cautious in using troops and doing things cautiously. As a general, he must win by surprise and use troops to take risks; but as a marshal and a king, he needs to be cautious and make fewer mistakes, which is the greatest
victory.
But what the elder brother said and did was too risky!
Liu Xiu sighed, "That's it! Brothers fight, father and son go into battle. Now, I can only follow my eldest brother and fight to the end. If I succeed, my eldest brother will be the emperor and I will be the prince; if I fail, my head will fall off, and the two will lose their heads."
Ten years later it will be another reincarnation!”
The big brother who cheats on his younger brother!
The eldest brother calls himself Liu Bang, but what he says and does is clearly Xiang Yu's style.
You're cheating on your brother!
"Second brother-in-law, your family is rich, why do you want to rebel?" Liu Xiu said.
"Bosheng rebelled. As his brother-in-law, I have no choice but to follow him!" Deng Chen also sighed, feeling quite helpless.
One person rebelled and killed nine tribes, and his brother-in-law happened to be among them. Because Liu Yan rebelled, Deng Chen, as a relative, was also implicated and could only follow the rebellion!
The eldest brother who cheated on his brother-in-law!
Liu Xiu complained again, somewhat sympathetic to Deng Chen.
Because his eldest brother was implicated, Liu Xiu gave up his family business and took refuge in Xinye; and because Deng Chen was implicated, he had no choice but to rebel.
"There are not enough soldiers and horses, not enough wealth, not enough connections, there are all kinds of deficiencies. If you want to rebel, you can't!" Liu Xiu said the difficulty.
"In Nanyang, the Li family is the leader of Nanyang County, but its layout is limited. Being trapped in Nanyang, if you want to go further, there are shortcomings. Now, the Li family is invited to join. As long as the Li family is willing to take action, they will definitely be able to recruit troops.
Even conquer Wancheng!"
Deng Chen talked about the plan.
Rebellion requires the support of local aristocratic families or wealthy families.
In Nanyang County, the Li family is a local snake. If they want to rebel, they cannot do without the support of the Li family.
"Will the Li family join?" Liu Xiu asked.
"Are you five levels sure?" Deng Chen said.
The Li family in Nanyang is the key to the rebellion!
The Li family wants to go further, and rebellion is a shortcut. Of course, rebellion is risky. The Li family will only be able to play both sides, and they will keep swinging.
Once the rebels are at a disadvantage, maybe they can be tied up and presented to the court as a meeting gift.
The aristocratic family is not reliable, but rebellion cannot be separated from the aristocratic family.
However, this is enough!
The Li family was the first pot of gold for the rebellion.
…………
With the world in chaos, the Nanyang Li family also fell into entanglements.
Troubled times are a time for various forces to reshuffle. Some commoners become prime ministers and generals, and open up a big family; there are also families that suffer disaster because of choosing the wrong person. There are ups and downs, and families are constantly rising, and some families are going to perish.
.
Everyone in the world says that there is no dynasty that lasts for a thousand years, but there is a family that lasts for a thousand years.
That’s right, that’s not right either!
It is true that aristocratic families live longer than dynasties. However, as dynasties change, too many aristocratic families have been destroyed.
Therefore, many aristocratic families bet on both sides or three-way bets, but even so, some aristocratic families have prospered and some have declined.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and it’s time to reshuffle the cards again.
If it succeeds, the Li family will take a step forward; if it fails, the Li family may be doomed.
"Chungling raised troops, and Liu Yan fought many battles with the Nanyang Army, which was very powerful. The Green Forest Army, the New Shi Army, etc. also raised troops one after another, and the Nanyang Prefect was exhausted... In addition, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Xuzhou and other places all had troops
The people rebelled..."
"It's time for our Li family to make a choice!"
At this moment, all the elders of the Li family gathered together to discuss the future of the family.
"For the current plan, we can only follow the path to rebel against the king, or directly raise an army to fight for the dragon!"
"It is too dangerous to directly raise an army to fight for the dragon. If you succeed, you will sweep the world and become a royal family; if you fail, you will be doomed and the family will be destroyed!" An elder of the Li family said: "In the world, there are only surrendered ministers and no surrendered kings.
Being a minister gives you more options!"
The elders of the Li family nodded and agreed.
Fighting for the dragon is too dangerous.
It is better to be a minister. If the lord is not good enough, you can change him.
"What if my Li family goes to join Liu Yan?" said an elder.
"If Liu Yan had just raised his army, I would have been reused if I had gone to join him. But now that Liu Yan's team has been formed, I would be doing nothing but marginalizing him!" said another clan elder.
If a wealthy family from Nanyang came to seek refuge with Liu Yan at this moment, Liu Yan would definitely welcome him warmly.
But it is better to add icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need.
Liu Yan's most difficult moment has passed, and he can no longer help him in times of need; to seek refuge at this moment is just the icing on the cake, and it will inevitably be difficult to get into his core.
He joined the Chongling Army, but was marginalized and somewhat unwilling to do so.
"Recently, Liu Xiu from Nanyang escaped from trouble and came to Xinye. He can be a supporter!" At this time, Li Tong spoke.
Everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had some realization.
Since Liu Yan cannot invest in Liu Yan, Liu Xiu is also a good investment target.
After all, in the event of rebellion, the most reliable ones are brothers. As the younger brother, Liu Xiu must be Liu Yan's direct descendant. And by "investing" in Liu Xiu, they also become Liu Yan's direct descendant in disguise, which is quite promising.
"It's just that my father is an official in the capital. If we rebel... we might harm my father," Li Tong said.
"That's easy to say!" A clan elder said: "I have already sent the news to the third child. The third child will report us and break away from the relationship. Each family will take care of their own family and each will go his own way!"
He was betting on both ends, one was investing in the imperial court and the other was investing in Liu Yan.
Li Tong felt vaguely uneasy, but still nodded and remained silent.
…………
The next day, an invitation came.
Liu Xiu accepted the invitation and went to a manor, where he met Li Tong again, a good friend of his eldest brother Liu Yan.
"Shu, what do you think of the situation in the world?"
After a brief discussion, Li Tong asked.
"This..." Liu Xiudao said: "The Qin government was morally corrupt, massacred, and lost its vitality. The new emperor came to the throne, and his methods were outstanding, but there was nothing he could do to save the day. Recently, there has been a severe drought in Nanyang, the people have been displaced, and refugees everywhere have continued to rebel, fearing that
