Chapter 374: Forcing Xiangjia Village(1/2)
The adults in Xiangjia Village were startled and quickly reached out and covered the child's mouth.
This Liang looked fierce and had a sword in his hand. If he was angry, he would definitely kill people. He was a thief. What could he do if the thief could not do?
Xiang Liang smiled. He looked at the child with a kind face: "Yes, I was defeated. However, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Who has never lost the heroes of all ages? "
"I am defeated today, but I may not be able to win tomorrow. I am lost today, but I may not be able to get it back tomorrow. I am not a rebel, but a righteous man who revived the Great Chu."
The child didn't know that he was frightened by Xiang Liang, but he just understood his words, closed his mouth tightly, and stopped talking.
Xiang Liang slowly turned around, looked at Xiangpi behind him, and smiled slightly: "Uncle Clan, what do you think?"
Xiang Pi smiled dryly and said, "It's reasonable, it's reasonable."
Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction: "Since it is reasonable, can you be willing to follow me and raise an army to rebel against Qin?"
"This..." Xiangpi hesitated.
In fact, he was not hesitating at all, but was unhappy. But he didn't dare to refuse quickly. After all, Xiang Liang was next to him, and Xiang Liang was holding a sword in his hand.
Xiang Pi smiled bitterly and said, "I am already in decline and can no longer fight."
Xiang Liang smiled and said, "This is okay. To fight against Qin, you not only need sergeants, but also military advisors. If the clan uncle becomes the most powerful person in Xiangjia Village, he must be very smart."
Xiang Pi almost scolded: Even the rich people in Xiangjia Village are pretty good at thinking? If I really have the mind to lead troops to fight, would I be just a rich man in a small village?
Xiang Liang looked at the villagers around him again: "Are you willing to follow me to promote Xiang's family?"
These people were very far away from Xiang Liang. After thinking about it for a while, they felt that if they ran away, Xiang Liang would not be able to catch up. Therefore, they all shook their heads and said, "I don't want to."
Xiang Liang laughed, not angry.
He said lightly: "Why don't you?"
The people from Xiangjia Village said angrily: "There are only a hundred men in Xiangjia Village. How can they fight against Qin?"
"When Da Chu was there, so many troops and swords were still destroyed by the Qin people. Now we only have these people and don't even have weapons in our hands. Isn't this rebellion seeking death?"
"We just want to plow the fields safely and steadily, and we don't want to revive the Great Chu or Xiang family, and those who don't have much to do with us."
"Even if the Great Chu can really restore the country in the future, there will be hundreds of wars in the meantime. By then, we may have died in battle long ago."
Xiang Liang waited until they finished speaking, and then said lightly: "When you want to continue hiding here and be a peaceful and peaceful head of Guizhou?"
Everyone in Xiangjia Village nodded.
Xiang Liang laughed: "Silly, it's so stupid. You also know that I was defeated a few days ago. The Qin people were searching for my whereabouts. I know that I came here to find the Xiang clan members and plan to make a new splash. Don't those Qin people know?"
Many people from Xiangjia Village were lit up after hearing this. Will the Qin people come? That would be the best. When the officers and soldiers come, they can drive Xiang Liang away.
Xiang Liang obviously guessed what they were thinking, and sneered, saying, "When the Qin people come, they guess, do they think you have followed me to fight against Qin?"
"They will definitely think that you are in the same group as me. Even if you make every excuse, do they believe it? Even if they believe it, who can guarantee that you will not rebel with me in the future? After all, you have the same surname as Xiang, and the same origin as me."
"What will these Qin people do? Should we send a team of people to guard you day and night? That would be too consuming food and grass. The simplest thing is...haha."
Everyone in Xiangjia Village looked at Xiang Liang nervously: "What is the easiest thing?"
Xiang Liang looked at them with bright eyes: "Wait, do you still remember the Qin general Bai Qi? Do you still remember the Zhao people who were killed after the Changping War?"
Everyone in Xiangjia Village was shocked. They shuddered hard and instantly understood their destiny.
Yes, Xiang Liang said it well. The easiest and most labor-saving method is to kill Xiang's family.
Xiang Liang and others were all so scared that they stopped talking, and then asked again quietly: "Wait, are you willing to follow me to rebel against the Qin people?"
Everyone in Xiangjia Village looked at each other.
Finally, someone said carefully: "How about we change our surname to Wang?"
Xiang Liang wanted to slap this man a few times: In order to survive, he even wanted the surname of his ancestors, which was damn.
As a result, many people agreed: "Or, are we escaping from the mountains?"
Someone also said: "The household registration in Chu is already in chaos. In the previous battle, many people became refugees. We took this opportunity to migrate the village, change the face, and turn it into the surname Wang. By then, the gods would not know it, and the ghosts would not realize it..."
This strategy has received support from many people.
Xiang Liang sneered repeatedly and said sarcastically: "You are so wise."
Everyone in Xiangjia Village smiled honestly.
Xiang Liang sighed: "Forget it, I am the same clan as you, after all, and are relatives. You don't want to follow me to rebel against Qin, how dare I force you?"
The people from Xiangjia Village were relieved after hearing this.
Xiang Liang continued, "I am now sleepless and resting in the village for one night, I wonder if I can?"
The people from Xiangjia Village agreed immediately.
If Xiang Liang made this request when he first came, the people in Xiangjia Village might object. But now... the rebellion was replaced by one night, which was a huge advantage, and they immediately agreed.
Xiang Liang stared at these people for a while, and suddenly said, "Everyone, don't you report to the official, right?"
The people from Xiangjia Village shook their heads repeatedly: "No, I will definitely not. This place is very far from the government, so it is too late to report to the officials."
Xiang Liang nodded: "thank you, thank you."
That night, Xiang Liang lived at Xiangpi's home.
Xiang Liang slaughtered pigs and sheep, and treated Xiang Liang. During the process of drinking and eating meat, Xiang Liang was always very vigilant. He was willing to drink when he saw others drinking, and only when he saw someone ate meat was willing to eat meat when he was poisoned.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their homes to sleep.
Xiang Pi lay in his bedroom with his eyes staring, and it was not until midnight that he carefully sat up. Then he tiptoed outside Xiang Liang's window, listened quietly for a while, and after hearing the snoring, he felt a little relieved and walked towards the gate with light steps.
As soon as he left the house, Xiang Liang's snoring stopped. He opened his eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After Xiang Pi left the house, he touched the dark side of his clan brother Xiang Yi.
After he arrived at Xiang Yi's house, Xiang Yi did not sleep. It was no wonder that a big thief came to the village, and he could only fall asleep unless a person with no mind was foolish.
Xiang Pi said to Xiang Yi: "Go and call all the men in the village. Be careful not to wake up Xiang Liang."
Xiang Yi responded and went to call someone.
One person woke two people up, two people woke four people up. Soon, a lot of people gathered in Xiang Yi's family.
Xiangpi looked at the villagers and said, "Tell me, what should we do?"
People from Xiangjia Village said: "Rebellion is not a success. If you are not careful, you will die. I dare not."
Many people echoed: "I dare not."
Xiang Pi hunched: "We are all poor people in Guizhou. Our ancestors may be richer, but they are still very poor and humble. Compared with others, they only have one more surname. This is nothing. In the event of a famine, can the surname be eaten as a food?"
"The revival of Great Chu has nothing to do with us. When Great Chu was there, he did not give us a bowl of rice."
The villagers nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Xiang Pi said: "But this Xiang Liang is always a hidden danger when he lives in the village. Look, how to deal with him?"
Someone said: "We are about to move the village. From now on, we have nothing to do with this Liang. What are we afraid of him doing?"
Xiang Pi said: "After that being said, I always feel that Xiang Liang has a bad face."
Many people nodded: "Why are kind people, how can they be robbers?"
Some people also said, "Now that he has been defeated, let them follow him and rebel. If we don't follow him, how could he give up so easily? I think this person may coerce us."
Xiang Pi thought for a while and said, "Our village is poor, but there is still some money. What should he do if he sees us not obeying and forces us to hand over the money and recruit soldiers on his own?"
The villagers were all out of their minds.
Xiang Pi said again: "If he is dissatisfied with us and deliberately sends people to tell the officers and soldiers that the people in our Xiangjia Village want to rebel, what should he do?"
The villagers said carefully: "This person is not so vicious, right?"
Xiang Pi laughed: "Can you win the world if you are not vicious?"
The villagers asked: "What uncle does that clan mean..."
Xiang Pi said, "This person is a disaster. Why not let us rush forward and tie him up while he is asleep. If it is handed over to the officers and soldiers, will the government believe that we will not rebel? If we tie this person and hand it over to the officers and soldiers, we will be safe and we will not even need to leave here."
The villagers' eyes lit up and nodded vigorously.
The family is worth a lot of money, not to mention that there are their fertile land here. Who would like to hide in the deep mountains and forests and start from scratch?
Some soft-hearted people said, "However, this person is our fellow disciple after all."
Xiang Pi laughed: "Three years ago, our village had a severe drought and ten people starved to death. Where was the same clan at that time? Five years ago, the river bank broke, the whole village was flooded, three people drowned, and twenty people died of plague. Where was the same clan at that time? Fifteen years ago..."
Xiang Pi said a few things casually, and everyone in Xiangjia Village was silent.
Finally, someone echoed: "Yes, this person wants to rebel. Once it rebelled, the land of Chu will be in chaos. The thieves will kill us and rob us of food, the officers and soldiers will kill us to make contributions. The thieves will also take advantage of the situation to rob us. At that time, not only our Xiangjia Village, but the entire land of Chu will suffer. This person wants to revive the Great Chu, but he will also harm the people of Chu."
Some people also said, "How happy is it to be here? If this person had not rebelled, we would not have to migrate with his clan. In short, it was his unrighteousness. What should we do to restore the Great Chu and promote the Xiang family? Then after the revival, wouldn't he become an official by himself?"
Xiang Pi nodded: "So, today we will destroy our relatives for justice, not only save ourselves, but also save countless people in Chu."
The villagers of Xiangjia Village nodded.
Then, Xiang Pi chose a few people. These people often hunted, and their bows and arrows were very accurate. Xiang Pi ordered them to climb to a big tree outside the house and aimed at the house. As long as Xiang Liang came out, they would shoot on him.
Then, Xiang Pi chose some strong and strong people. They asked them to use sharpened bamboo as weapons to deal with Xiang Liang.
