Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2184: The beginning of civil unrest, people's hearts are in turmoil

"Old Wang, the lord's current situation is not very good!"

In a corner of the city, just when it was time for dinner, Kang Yanxiao, carrying a few flatbreads and a bowl of rice porridge, inadvertently sat down next to Wang Yanqiu.

While pretending to drink the porridge, he glanced around inconspicuously. When he saw that no one among the soldiers was paying attention to them, he deliberately spoke in a very low voice. The voice was so low that even Wang Yanqiu, who was sitting next to him, could only hear it with difficulty.

"What's the matter, Kang Mazi, have you already made contact?" Wang Yanqiu pretended to take a big bite of a pancake while lowering his voice as much as possible without leaving any trace.

Kang Yanxiao, because of the many pockmarks on his face, was nicknamed Kang Mazi by some of his close generals.

Many of them were actually unwilling to accompany Zhao Kuangyin in a battle to the death, especially since many of them, their families were now in the hands of the enemy.

If there is really nothing they can do, then it's fine if one person dies, but that doesn't mean they want their entire clan to be killed.

No one would doubt the truth of that matter! Li Xiang is no longer the prince of the past, but the emperor. Even the princes have to keep their word, not to mention the emperor. Since he has spoken, there is absolutely no reason to take it back.

However, even if some people have some ideas, they cannot easily put them into action.

First of all, for this kind of thing, you always have to choose a leader to lead everyone to do it together. Only by combining everyone's strength can there be a chance of success. If one or two people jump out alone, they will only be sent to Zhao Kuangyin.

Secondly, before doing this, we must first contact the Jin army outside.

With the Jin army working together with them inside and outside, they would have a chance to overthrow Zhao Kuangyin and survive.

He knew that Kang Mazi was definitely a shrewd and calculating person. The fact that he dared to contact him on his own initiative meant that he had solved at least one of the two problems.

"Of course, Emperor Jin, no, Your Majesty has issued an order. If we make great contributions, you can grant us the surname Li and the title of nobility!"

"Old Prince, His Majesty has given me the name Li Shaochen. It won't be long before you change your name, brother!" When Kang Yanxiao talked about this, he was obviously a little excited and almost couldn't control his voice.

For a big family like the Zhao family that values ​​blood inheritance, they may not be happy to be given a surname or a name. If it was a normal situation, it would be fine. It is also a good thing. A big family does not just have a few people like them. But, apart from them, it is not certain whether Li Xiang will agree to let the rest of the Zhao clan members live.

But the matter of granting a surname is a great thing for people like Kang Yanxiao who come from a humble background. Their family doesn't have much wealth to pass on, so relatively speaking, the bloodline inheritance is naturally not as important as those big families.

Otherwise, there would not be so many emperors who gave surnames since ancient times. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties set an example, and then Li Keyong in the late Tang Dynasty gave the surname Li to others crazily.

Kang Yanxiao was no ordinary person. In history, he followed Li Cunxu and proposed a surprise attack to destroy Liang. Li Cunxu adopted the strategy and attacked Bianliang directly from Yunzhou. It took only eight days to destroy the Later Liang. When Guo Chongtao led his army to attack Shu, Kang Yanxiao led the vanguard troops to capture Fengzhou, take Guzhen, subdue Xingzhou, and defeat the army of the Later Shu at Sanquan. He also led the elite troops to advance, rode across the Jialing River on horseback, bypassed Jiange, and won the first merit in destroying Shu.

However, although this person is very capable, he is not a loyal and filial person. In history, he first followed Li Keyong, but at that time he was just a small soldier and had nothing to do with it. After committing a crime, he defected to the Later Liang Dynasty, but later defected to the Later Tang Dynasty and followed Li Keyong's son Li Cunxu. However, in the end, he launched a failed rebellion. Although each betrayal had its reasons, it was enough to show the character of this person.

In fact, Wang Yanqiu thought that it was Fushuifang who contacted Kang Yanxiao, but Wang Yanqiu didn't know that it was Kang Yanxiao who took the initiative to find Fushuifang.

The fact that the other party was able to find the floating house showed his ability. If the floating house could be found so easily, it would have been strangled by Zhao Kuangyin's imperial city long ago. How could it have developed to this day in the Central Plains?

"Kang Mazi, you should understand that just the two of us are far from enough!" Wang Yanqiu's heart moved, but he still remained calm.

Wang Yanqiu was also a famous general in the Five Dynasties period. During the Five Dynasties period, except for Li Cunxiao, who was extremely well-known because of the romance of the novel, the rest were almost unknown because this period of history was extremely chaotic.

However, fame can indirectly reflect a person's ability, but it does not mean that if there is no fame, the ability will definitely not be good.

Whether Wang Yanqiu was a general in the Later Liang Dynasty or the Later Tang Dynasty, he made many military achievements and deserved the title of famous general.

Although he was somewhat excited at this time, it was far from enough to make him lose his mind.

  Although both of them are intelligent and brave, and their skills are not bad, compared with those pure muscle men, the gap is quite big!

Besides, the two of them don't have much military power. Even if they have some ideas, once they put them into action, they will just be delivering food to others!

"Of course it won't work just with the two of us!"

"So, Lao Wang, we have to bring more people in!"

"Brothers all want a way to survive!"

"At this time, all we need is someone who dares to take the lead."

"Others don't dare to be the leader, so we two brothers will take it!"

"The worst that can happen is death. If we die like this, our wives, children and the elderly will be safe, and they will enjoy wealth and glory in the future! But if we continue to be cowards, once the city is broken, not only will we have a bad ending, but our wives, children and the elderly will also be buried with us!" Kang Yanxiao analyzed very calmly at this time.

Kang Yanxiao is not a person who is not afraid of death, but he is not the kind of person who will disregard everything for the sake of his life.

If he died alone, he would be afraid and would not accept such a result. But if his entire clan was killed, and his entire family went down with him, that was something he could not accept.

I have to say that someone like Kang Yanxiao, who is so calm when analyzing issues related to his own life, is indeed a scary person.
