Chapter 1 Who is the bait

This is the prison cell of Qiantang County. Xu You has been in and out of the county government many times, but when he lives in the prison cell, it is the first time for the big girl to get into a sedan chair!

The environment of the cell is naturally not very good, it is dark and damp, with rats and insects everywhere, and there is a bunch of hay on the ground to make beds. As for the quilt, there is definitely not. Such conditions are not the same as Jingyuan's magnificent state, even the small courtyard where Yixing temporarily lives is.

On the first night of becoming a prisoner, Xu You did not toss and turn as many people thought, but instead slept very peacefully, which was truly safe.

Compared to being left on the streets in his previous life, here can be sheltered from the wind and rain, so he feels as peaceful as he is!

Since Liu Guo did not kill him immediately, it means he took the 70 million yuan he was lying, which is the only bargaining chip that Xu You can rely on now.

If you have bargaining chips, there is room for mediation!

Therefore, Xu You fell asleep when he fell asleep. The damage caused to him by Lu Tai's flute sound was far more serious than it seemed on the surface. After a night of rest, when he woke up in the morning, although his body was still exhausted, at least his brain became very clear.

This is very important. Without force, you can only save your life by relying on your wisdom.

Since his rebirth, even in such a difficult situation as Yixing, he was accompanied by the autumnal equinox. Now, he is a real lonely man, trapped in the enemy camp, and may be in a different place at any time.

The situation has never been so dangerous!

"Hangjun Xu, General, please come over!"

A young man appeared outside the prison door. Xu You glanced at it and felt that this person was a little different from the thief I saw last night. He slowly got up from the bed and brushed away the dust from the black military uniform. The little blood stains looked like roses blooming on black irises, full of delusional mystery.

"Lucky, when is it now!"

"Shen Shi, Langjun slept all day."

Taking advantage of the moment when this man opened the lock, Xu You looked at him carefully. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tender face and agile eyes. His face and hands were not as rough as ordinary soldiers. He was wearing dark gold uniforms, tied leather belts on his waist, and combined with trimming. He looked energetic and heroic.

His attitude was restrained and respectful, which was completely different from Liu Yu's arrogant attitude yesterday. Xu You knew that someone must have spoken and said, "Are you the Yellow Turban Army?"

"Huh?" The man was stunned. Following Xu You's gaze, he looked at the Yellow Turban tied on his arm, and said with a smile: "No, we are the Tianshi Army. The Yellow Turban is just to identify his own people."

Xu You suddenly realized and said, "I thought it was the Yellow Turban Army that rekindled last night, but I didn't expect it to be Sun Tianshi. Speaking of which, the Xu family has believed in the Tao of Tianshi for generations, and we were originally a family. May I ask Lang Jun's name?"

"A villain is a shameful person, and he dares not taint his husband's ears. Please come with me!"

Xu You stopped when he clicked. He didn't intend to get any useful information from this person, and he gave up when he saw that he didn't take the bait. He left the cell and was shining on his body by the rising sun. It was warm and made people feel comfortable and comfortable, as if everything was the same as before.

However, the bandits were patrolling back and forth in various parts of the county government. The bright swords and guns announced that Qiantang had completely changed. Xu You sighed slightly and followed the visitors through the second hall of the lobby and came to the garden where he finally entered.

There was a man sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake. From his back, he was wearing the magic uniform of the Tianshidao, with a slender and upright figure, with a fairy-like appearance and a crane standing out in the flock. It was Du Mingyu. Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, he pointed to the futon opposite him and said, "Sit!"

Xu You sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then raised his head and drank it all, wiped off the water stains on his mouth, and praised: "Good tea!"

Du Mingyu poured Xu You again and said, "I have never drunk tea, I don't know what's the good. If Qilang likes it, just drink more!"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!"

Xu You drank three cups in a row, but he did not look rude and rude. Instead, he behaved gracefully, not as calm as the prisoners should have. Du Ming smiled with a smile and said, "When Gushan gathered, I found that Qilang was not a thing in the pool. But no matter what, in addition to being an extraordinary literary talent, you can win over a group of capable people and strangers under your command, and even a fifth-rank master returned in a bad mood... By the way, Lu Tai is rebellious and will revenge. If you offend him a lot, you may have great trouble in the future."

"I have enough troubles, I don't care about this one!" Xu You sighed: "What's more, as a prisoner of the priest of the wine, I have today or tomorrow, so why bother to worry about the world?"

Du Mingyu's expression was a bit complicated, but the tone he spoke made Xu You believe his sincerity enough, and said, "Shilang, don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. When the Qiantang incident is over, I will give you a gift to leave the city."

"oh?"

Xu You was puzzled and said, "As the identity of priests, there is no need to lie to me. But I offended Du Jingzhi and Liu Yu, and the Yixing Incident, Xu even had a deep revenge with Tianshi. If you had been concerned about your master before and allowed me to live in the world, now that you have rebelled, the Lord's deterrence against you naturally has no way to mention it. Why not kill me and kill the roots?"

"Everyone in the world wants to live, does Qilang just want to die?"

Xu You said: "Not that, I am also a mediocre person in the world. How could I die if I can live? But with my extremely shallow knowledge, there is no reason for priest to save my life."

Du Mingyu smiled and said, "Qilang is so modest. You are besieged by Liu Yu, and you can throw out 70 million yuan of bait in the crisis to make him throw a rat and be afraid of it. This intention is no longer inferior to Zhuge Zhuzhi."

Xu You was silent. Hearing Du Mingyu's words, he seemed to not value the 70 million yuan, or he was supposed to be talking nonsense, but in fact he didn't have that much money. If this were the case, Du Mingyu had no reason not to kill him. Instead, he was treated with courtesy. What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

Seeing that Xu You didn't say anything, Du Mingyu said, "Are Qilang full of doubts? If you have anything to ask me, please ask me."

Since he came, he would be at ease. It would be useless to think too much. Xu You nodded and said, "It is true that there are some places that cannot be understood. If you are in Yangzhou, you are deeply versed in common affairs. In today's world, can there be signs of dissipation and swaying?"

"The two generations of An family have not been said to be peaceful and prosperous, but at least the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no trouble."

"The world is clear and the God is intelligent. Have you ever seen a great cause that can achieve great things in the world without chaotic times?"

"I have read all the historical books, but I have never heard of them."

"Since that's the case, You really wondered why Jijiu chose to cause trouble in Yangzhou at this time?"

Xu You's words were very rude. What's the difference between what the Tianshi Army did last night and those pirates and pirates? They burned, killed, robbed, and committed all kinds of evil. How many innocent people died tragically, and how many living people will spend the rest of their lives with fear and torture?

Du Mingyu didn't mind and smiled and said, "Damage? This word is well used! Although Qilang was seized from his hometown and became a Qimin, he still spoke to the gentry in his bones. When the soldiers attacked, the first ones were the gentry who controlled the land, money and power. For them, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and naturally the gangs were in chaos!"

He poured another cup of tea for Xu You and said, "But for the people of the Taoist Taoist who are in the Heavenly Master, only in this way can they divide the land, the rich and the poor, and the taxes can allow sentient beings to "equality in heaven and earth, and the superiority and the size of the great people" and there will be no distinction between nobles and common people from now on... In fact, where did the world come from being born noble? It is just that the aristocratic family have power, money and soldiers, so they are arrogant and serve sentient beings like cattle and horses, do not raise up or rebel. Are you waiting for the nobles to voluntarily give alms?"

"Even if the aristocratic family took it upon themselves, what about the common people who died under the sword of chaos last night? I wanted to make all living beings equal, but I first saved so many lives of ordinary people..."

"Where is no immortal to accomplish great things!" Du Mingyu said lightly: "Those who are willing to follow us to start a business have hung their heads on their belts and are not allowed to rob the city for a night. How can they convince the public? How can they stabilize the morale of the army?"

"I'm afraid that the sacrificial wine will gain the morale of the army and lose the people's expectations. When the army of the Governor's Office arrives, Qiantang City will change hands again!"

"Former Yangzhou Governor Liu Quan and the governor of Yangzhou military affairs, almost all the military supplies and armors assigned by the court were used to support him. When Liu Quan left his position, more than half of the three thousand elite Mo Yun became the private parts of the Liu family. A small part of them were scattered into military positions of different sizes in various states. The remaining troops in the Yangzhou Governor's Office were about 15,000, and the few 3,000 were still in time to make up for the number of troops. This 5,000 were scattered in three places. The journey was long and it was difficult to integrate. Moreover, the military discipline was slackened, and the equipment was not enough. From time to time, they were deducted from pay. Not to mention going to the battle to kill the enemy, even going up the mountain to catch bandits, they would not dare to say that they would win."

Du Mingyu knew himself and his enemy, and had a clever idea of ​​his mind. He did not take the soldiers of Yangzhou seriously. He said, "In addition, Yangzhou has been uneasy in the past year because of the trouble of moving to the prefectures and governments, and people are in trouble. The soldiers do not know the generals and generals do not know the soldiers. When the news of Yangzhou's uprising reached Jinling, he will be handed over to the Taige to discuss matters. The emperor issued an order to send troops to the Yangzhou Governor's Office. More than half a month has passed. In this half month, all the eight counties south of Wu County will fall into my hands, and hundreds of thousands of people are under control, which can produce 50,000 elite soldiers."

"Qilang, there are money, food and grass from the gentry family as the foundation, with these 50,000 elite soldiers as the courage, and with hundreds of thousands of Taoist people as the support, no matter who wants Qiantang City, I will let him die under the city wall!"

Although Xu You's previous master was a martial artist, he was influenced and trained by his family since he was a child and knew nothing about military tactics and formations. Although Du Mingyu said it was reasonable, he ignored an obvious problem: "The soldiers in the prefectures and states are not afraid of Jijiu, but what about the Central Army? When the Yangzhou Governor's Office is frustrated, the Lord must send the Central Army to quell the rebellion. The Central Army has six armies, three generals, and five lieutenants, all of whom are brave in battles. Can Jijiu ensure that he can win the battle?"
