Yuan Mountain was located in the middle of Huai Prefecture, it was covered in layers of mountains, thousands of rocks and valleys, like a steep barrier.
In the depths of the mountain range, there were endless villages and tile-roofed houses. Smoke rose from the chimneys.
Zhongyi Hall.
Many men with bare shoulders and backs were gathered together. A dark-skinned man sat at the head of the table, and a scholar with a feathered fan and a turban stood beside him.
"Chief, this is the content of the letter.”The scholar's expression was solemn.
Bang!
The dark-skinned man who was called the boss smashed the long table with his fist, and the table leg collapsed with a bang.
He suddenly stood up and roared,"
"Without Commander Su, the emperor is nothing!”
Many men were excited and roared,
"Uprising, fighting for Commander Su!”
The atmosphere was boiling, and everyone's aura was like a rainbow.
The scholar also had a determined expression.
They were not bandits, but poor people whose fertile land had been occupied by powerful people. They could not live anymore, so they became bandits and pursued the idea of robbing the rich to help the poor.
Two years ago, Commander Su came alone. His personal charm completely convinced the village, and the entire village accepted the imperial court's amnesty.
Every month, Commander Su would send people to send money and food. The village lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they no longer had to worry about starving to death.
It could be said that although that man was not the savior of the village, he was still the most respected person.
"Chief, excluding the old and young, our village only has a little over a thousand people…"
One of them, a man with a mole on his forehead, regained his senses. His face was clearly filled with fear.
The First Leader's tiger eyes were wide open as he stared at him coldly.
"What are you afraid of!"
"The women of the Wu family are cruel and ungrateful. How could they treat our benefactor like this?!”
"It's the duty of righteousness to send troops to exterminate violence.”
The scholar added," The aristocratic families of Huaizhou bully the weak. Their crimes are too numerous to be recorded. The people have suffered for a long time. As long as we hold high the flag of justice, there will be countless responses.”
"I estimate that there are no less than 30,000 to 40,000 people in Huaizhou alone!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mole man's expression was conflicted. He was really not confident and stammered,
"That being said, there's a huge disparity in numbers after all. Those recruited at the last minute are probably no match for the Imperial Court.”
Pa!
"Get lost!" The First Leader flipped him to the ground with a palm and said firmly,"
"We have to know how to repay kindness. Commander Su has given the order, who doesn't die for it?”
"Scholar, take out the map!"
The scholar nodded heavily and took out the map from his sleeve. It was also sent over by Commander Su.
"First, we must destroy the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'stronghold in Huaizhou and disrupt the Imperial Court's information transmission, buying us time to recruit soldiers.”
"Second, occupy the official arsenal and open the treasury to invite heroes.”
"Third, slaughter the few powerful families in the territory who are ruthless and plunder food and gold to win the hearts of the people.”
"Fourth, follow…"
The scholar explained the important circles on the map one by one, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
He boasted that he had the ability to govern the world, but he was unlucky enough to become a bandit. Now that he saw Commander Su's strategic deployment, he realized how huge the gap was. They were not on the same level at all.
"Let's do it this way!" After hearing this, the boss straightened his back and was full of confidence.
" Chief, can you really shake the imperial court…?" Another man stammered, hesitating.
They were a motley crew, so how could they compete with the elites of the imperial court? If the uprising failed, they would be cut into pieces.
The Chief Leader and the scholar looked at each other and were silent for a moment. Then, he said in a muffled voice,
"Do you think I don't know?"
"But haven't you heard that the Chu Country and the Zhou Country are confronting each other in the southern border? Our stupid emperor is preparing to sign a humiliating clause.”
"I heard about it." The man couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted,"
"General Su, a god has descended to the mortal world, and the imperial court has lost all face.”
The scholar looked at everyone and said meaningfully,"
"So, as long as we revolt, we can give Commander Su more bargaining chips. This may be decisive.”
"When the dust settles in the Southern Border, our Revolutionary Army will scatter like birds and beasts and immediately head to Chu. With this merit, we should be able to serve in the army, right?”
The Chief smiled and nodded.
Although the letter didn't say it clearly, they were smart people and quickly figured out Commander Su's intentions.
On one hand, the stronghold could repay the kindness, and on the other hand, it could find a future. Going to the Chu Country to fight on the battlefield was much better than staying in the Yuan Mountain.
"Ah…"
Everyone was enlightened. The man with the mole on the ground also got up.
Now, he had no worries at all. He rolled up his sleeves and started fighting. The bigger the commotion, the better!
"Listen carefully. You must strictly abide by Commander Su's arrangements.”
The chief's expression was solemn and dignified, his voice unquestionable.
"First the Embroidered Uniform Guards, then the government, then the aristocratic families. The steps cannot be mixed up.”
The scholar repeated, afraid that this group of people would mess up the order. At that time, not only would they not be able to help Commander Su, but they would also lose the lives of all the men in the village.
