Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 42: Men should do something (2)

Since Liu Yan took Liu Xiu back to his hometown Chongling more than ten years ago, he has only fostered his younger brother at his uncle's house for many years, but he went to Wancheng alone and created a force alone.

In the early years, when Liu Xiu was still living at his uncle's house, Liu Yan would often return to Chongling to accompany his younger brother. However, as the power at hand became stronger and more subordinates and more affairs, the number of times he returned to Chongling gradually became less and less.

After Liu Xiu went to Chang'an Imperial College to study, Liu Yan almost never went back in the past five years.

Nanyang County is a large county where former Han royal families gathered, and Chongling Township is particularly dense. There are dozens of Liu clan members in a village. Now that Liu Yan is about to rise up, it is naturally the top priority to obtain their support.

However, in the eyes of the Liu clan in Chongling, even if Liu Yan is not a filial child, he is just a voluptuous and invisible scum of the family.

"So, brother, did you go to Chongling and then reject it?" Liu Xiu laughed and looked at his brother teasingly: "The controller of Wancheng Night World, who has hundreds of direct subordinates, kills countless people. Liu Yan, who is known as the "Dragon of the Yellow Spring" in the eyes of the elders and villagers in Chongling, is so worthless?"

"Stinky Ah Xiu!" Liu Yan glared at Liu Xiu, stretched out his hand and crossed the table, slapped him in the head: "How did you know this bullshit nickname!"

"What Liu Ji told me before... I think it's quite majestic." Liu Xiu smiled and touched his head: "Okay, I understand. You just want me to go to Chongling with you and persuade my uncles and those people to raise an army with you, right?"

"That's right." Liu Yan nodded, his face turned serious: "They don't want to believe me. But they can still hear what I miss you... I think of you."

"After all, I have always been a good boy since I was a child." Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "So, what should I say? After all, I have never known what things you think about invasion, the world, and the things you think about every day."

Liu Yan nodded: "Then, let me tell you about the current situation first."

"Since Wang Mang came to power, the world has suffered great disasters and people have lived in poverty. Two years ago, in the fourth year of Tianfeng, hundreds of hungry people in Xinshi, led by Wang Feng and Wang Kuang brothers, occupied Green Forest Mountain. Although the name is an uprising, they have always only done things like robbing families. But now... they have been recruiting people and accumulating strength."

"The two brothers Wang Kuang and Wang Feng really don't have much talent. In their eyes, as long as they have a place, they can gain a foothold." Liu Yan sneered: "I have negotiated with them a few days ago and wanted to include them under their command. But they think that if they can't seize Wancheng, then everything will be discussed. Although Nanyang County is large, the only thing that is most important is this Wancheng, which can be ranked within the five cities in the world. Seizing Wancheng is the condition for them to become my subordinates."

"I don't understand..." Liu Xiu frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother, since you already have such power in Wancheng, isn't it easy to capture Wancheng?"

"It's not that easy." Liu Yan shook his head and sighed: "Speaking of this, I am the controller of the underground forces in Wancheng. But since I have the word underground, it means that I can't get on the table after all. Among my subordinates in Wancheng, there are only more than 500 people who can fight. Although they are good at being good at and far better than ordinary soldiers, they are good at street fighting or lurking assassination. Without training in the army, how can they compete with the more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in Wancheng?"

"If I just want to assassinate the city's garrison, it would be easy. But if I had to rely on these more than 500 people to capture the entire Wancheng, I would have dreamed in the daytime. Ah Xiu, you may understand the difference?"

"I understand." Liu Xiu nodded: "So, brother, what you need now is the power of the Chongling clan."

"Yes. After all, only by relying on them can I build a real army, rather than just taking a group of assassins and killers to fight on the battlefield." Liu Yan laughed: "So, what you have to do now is to tell them that they are great and win their support for me."
