Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 477, Actions of Anti-Qin Forces

"Mr. Zifang, those who achieve great things must not hesitate. This is a rare opportunity for us. Even if we are not the opponent of the Qin army, as long as we rely on the city to hold on and delay the time with the Qin army to help Mr. Tian Zhan buy time." Zhu Rong said.

After looking at Zhu Rong and then at Wei Yong who was eager to try, Zhang Liang nodded and said

"Okay, you can write to Mr. Tian Zhan and tell him that I have promised him. After we control Zhang Er, we will agree on a time for the uprising."

"Okay." Zhu Rong's eyes flashed with joy, "Zhang Er is seriously ill. I will go see Zhang Er in the name of home visit. Then I will ask Mr. Xu Fu to treat Zhang Er by recommending a famous doctor."

When Yun Zhongjun heard that Zhu Rong wanted him to go to Zhang Er's house, he hurriedly said

"No, Zhang Er's guests are very discerning, and it is inevitable that some people know me. If my identity is exposed, it may cause trouble."

Zhu Rong and Zhang Liang glanced at Yun Zhongjun suspiciously at first, but when they thought that this was indeed what Yun Zhongjun said, they did not become suspicious.

"What Mr. Xu Fu said makes sense. Then how can we find out whether Zhang Er's medicine is really taking effect?" Zhu Rong asked.

Yun Zhongjun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two people who didn't doubt him. Yun Zhongjun knew very well that both the Yin Yang Family and the Qin State were looking for him. If he took the initiative to expose his traces, wouldn't he be seeking death? The reason why he chose to become Zhu Rong's disciple was because he saw that Zhu Rong was the magistrate of Jiyang County and also a disciple of Ziyou. Luo Weng and the Yin Yang family would not suspect that he would hide himself.

"This matter is easy to handle. In order to prevent Zhang Er's disciples from noticing, I specially mixed two kinds of herbs into the Ghost Control Pill. One of them can neutralize the effect of the Ghost Control Pill, thereby maintaining Zhang Er's consciousness. The second method can stimulate the effect of the medicine and control him. The way to awaken the effect of the medicine is to combine the floral fragrance of Lan Yihua with the concoction of Howling Wolf Grass." Yun Zhongjun said and took out two sticks from his arms. box

"In these two boxes are Blue Yihua and Wolf Howling Grass."

"Mr. Xu Fu is still well prepared. In this case, I will go visit Zhang Er tomorrow." Zhu Rong said with a smile.

"Everything depends on Mr. Lao Zhurong." Zhang Liang said.

After Zhu Rong and Yun Zhongjun left, Zhang Liang said to Wei Yong

"Go and remove some of our people."

"Why sir? Didn't we promise Mr. Tian Zhan to launch an uprising in Dongjun?" Wei Yong asked.

"Leave a backup force. It would be best if the uprising succeeds. If it doesn't succeed, we can make a comeback. These Dongjun disciples Zhu Rong has captured are very powerful. We can withdraw some of them without affecting the overall situation. Wait until it is confirmed that Zhang Er is under control. , I will go to Pengcheng to meet Mr. Wei Liao, and we will launch an uprising in Pengcheng. The affairs of Wei will be left to you and Zhu Rong." Zhang Liang said.

Although Pengcheng has been occupied by the Qin army for many years, Xiang Yan's original power in Pengcheng is still not small, and a large number of Xiang clan members are in Pengcheng. Wei Liao also lived in seclusion in Pengcheng. As long as the uprising is launched, they can gather 50,000 people to occupy Pengcheng and sweep across the surrounding areas.

The main force of the Qin army in Chu State was in Juyang Shouchun area. Pengcheng was far away from them and there were few troops stationed there.

"No!" Wei Yong said.

After Wei Yong left, Zhang Liang looked at the bright moon outside the window, still feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"Am I really too hesitant?" Zhang Liang murmured in a low voice.

No one answered Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang looked at the bright moon and said nothing for a long time.

The next day, Zhu Rong visited Zhang Er in the name of visiting Zhang Er. When Zhang Er heard Zhu Rong's arrival, he immediately broke the cup in his hand. After thinking of Ziyou's instructions, Zhang Er could only suppress the anger in his heart. After informing Xiaoxia to make all preparations, Zhang Er lay on the bed and looked comatose.

Under the leadership of the steward, Zhu Rong was brought to Zhang Er's bed. Looking at the unconscious Zhang Er, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Rong's eyes.

"How long has Brother Zhang been unconscious?" Zhu Rong asked.

"I don't dare to hide it, Mr. Zhu Rong. Our master is now in a coma and is fine. A few days ago, our master suddenly went crazy, and we were at a loss for a while. We could only forcefully control our master and let the doctor in the mansion prescribe the medicine. , combined with acupuncture, made the master unconscious. We have used various methods these days, and even secretly invited a wizard, but we have not been able to cure the master.

The wizard said that the Lord was possessed by a wronged spirit and could only be cured by asking a Taoist master. A few days ago, we sent people to Taiyi Mountain to intercede with Taoist masters, but they haven't come back yet. These days, in order to prevent the master from falling into madness again, we can only continuously feed the concoction and combine it with acupuncture to make the master fall asleep. "The steward said.

"That's it. When I was in Jiyang, I saw an expert doctor treating a crazy person. At that time, the expert treated a crazy person on the street and cured him on the spot. I was deeply impressed. I am very impressed by what the expert used. The prescription is also recorded, wait until I go back and look for it." Zhu Rong patted his forehead and said.

"Are you serious?" the steward said with joy and excitement in his eyes.

"Of course, Brother Zhang usually takes good care of me. Now that he is in such a situation, can I, the younger brother, ignore him? Just wait until I go back to look for him." Zhu Rong said.

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Zhu Rong," the steward said.

After the steward sent Zhu Rong away, Zhang Er sat up from the bed and looked towards the direction Zhu Rong left with his eyes filled with coldness.

Zhu Rong came to Zhang Er's house again in the afternoon, and brought the prescription prepared by Yun Zhongjun, on which Wolf Howling Grass was listed. After the soup was brewed, Zhu Rong watched the steward put the soup into Zhang Er's mouth. Zhu Rong patted his sachet aside, letting the fragrance of Lan Yihua float out.

After the steward finished feeding all the decoction, Zhang Er, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The master is awake! The master is awake!" the steward shouted excitedly.

Zhu Rong, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Er's eyes seriously. When he found that Zhang Er's eyes were dull, he sneered in his heart.

"Brother Zhang, you're awake!" Zhu Rong said happily, "Go and call the doctor quickly."

"Yes."

After the steward left, Zhu Rong took out a token and waved it in front of Zhang Er's eyes. Zhu Rong said

"Zhang Er, do you know who I am?"

Zhang Er nodded mechanically, his eyes still dull. Seeing Zhang Er's appearance, Zhu Rong was completely relieved.

"Zhang Er speaks." Zhu Rong said.

"No!" Zhang Er's voice was stiff.

"Sure enough, as Mr. Xu Fu said, Zhang Er has been controlled by the Ghost Control Pill. And he can still speak. Mr. Xu Fu is indeed a strange man. If I can trick him into getting the recipe for the Ghost Control Pill, by all means If I can control all the officials and retainers in Dongjun with this Ghost Control Pill, then I, Zhu Rong, can also be the king of Wei!" Zhu Rong said in a low voice.

After hearing Zhu Rong's words, Zhang Er felt a burst of contempt in his heart.

After the doctor came, he was sure that Zhang Er would not go crazy again, but he was suspicious of Zhang Er's current sluggishness. However, the effects of Zhu Rong's medicine had not yet fully taken effect, and it was covered up by the fact that it would take multiple doses to fully recover.

After Zhu Rong left Zhang Er's house, he went to find Zhang Liang. After telling them that Zhang Er had been controlled, Zhang Liang told them the time of the uprising and prepared to launch the Dongjun uprising on the last day of next month. Zhang Liang and Zhu Rong had people pass the news on.

Zhu Rong himself stayed in Zhang Er's mansion. Zhang Er still needed medicine, but Zhu Rong did not dare to let Zhang Er drink the medicine. Although Wolf Howling Grass is not as poisonous as Snow Wolf Howling Poison, its toxicity is not small.

Zhang Er's retainers did not stop Zhu Rong because he was a good friend of Zhang Er. Instead, they thought that Zhu Rong was a man of great virtue who came to serve Zhang Er personally when Zhang Er was ill.

As letters were sent out one after another, letters were also sent back one after another.

Zhu Rong was sitting in Zhang Er's study, reading letters from diners from various places who agreed to the uprising.

"So what if Ying Zheng sent the censor? Didn't I change the direction after a little trick and go to investigate those loyal people in the south?" Zhu Rong said with a smile.

After the censor arrived in Dongjun, Zhu Rong deliberately used a loophole to direct the censor's investigation to those retainers who had no contact with them and were just bullying the local government. These retainers were fighting against the censor. There was a back and forth, but the disciples controlled by Zhu Rong were unscathed.

"Everyone is ready and waiting for Mr. Tian Zhan's reply." Zhu Rong said, stroking his beard. At this time, Zhu Rong looked at the letters on the table and already imagined that their plan was successful and the Qin State was torn apart. After uniting with the Qi State to overthrow the Qin State, he used the Ghost Control Pill to control others. He has become the lord of the world.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang. Although you are kind to me, people die for money and birds die for food. If I don't seek benefits for myself, I will be struck by lightning." Zhu Rong looked at Zhang Er and said.

Just when Zhu Rong was still thinking about it, the steward's voice sounded outside.

"Mr. Zhu Rong, someone is looking for you outside. He says he is your friend."

Zhu Rong hurriedly covered the letters on the table with books, then hid the letters in the books and walked towards the study door.

"My friend?" Zhu Rong opened the door and said doubtfully.

"Yes, there is a man wearing a bamboo hat at the back door," the steward said.

"Why did he come to me?" Zhu Rong could only think of Yun Zhongjun as the only person wearing a bamboo hat.

"I don't know about that. The man just said he was looking for you and that he was your retainer. Because I have a token of your retainer, I came to inform him," the steward said.

Because Yun Zhongjun did not want to reveal his identity, Zhu Rong arranged him to stay in a hidden courtyard. Now Yun Zhongjun came to him at the risk of possible exposure, and Zhu Rong thought that Yun Zhongjun had something important to do.

"Take me there quickly." Zhu Rong said.

"follow me."

After Zhu Rong left, Zhang Er made sure there was no one around, got up from the bed, walked to the table, and began to search among the books for the letter Zhu Rong had received.

After remembering the signatures on these letters, Zhang Er felt cold in his heart. He knew most of the people who colluded with Zhu Rong to rebel. Although these people were not reused when Lord Xinling was alive, they were treated with courtesy. Now these people actually want to destroy the good life they had finally had. The life of the people of Wei State was something Zhang Er could not agree to.

After writing down these names, Zhang Er thought of the name Tian Zhan. After writing down all the names, Zhang Er called his cronies. Give the list to the cronies and ask him to go to Dingxiang Tower to give it to Ziyou.

After Zhang Er hid the letter again, he lay back on the bed.

Zhu Rong, who was led away by the steward, did not see Yun Zhongjun at the back door and was questioning the steward. The noise made by the Qin troops patrolling the streets made Zhu Rong think that Yun Zhongjun was worried that the Qin troops patrolling the streets would find him, so he left first. Only then did Zhu Rong let the steward go.

the next day.

Zhu Rong went to look for Zhang Liang with the letter, but was informed by Wei Yong that Zhang Liang was about to leave Daliang and go to Pengcheng to prepare for the uprising. Zhu Rong could only tell Wei Yong the news that everything was ready. Wei Yong prepared everything, and Zhu Rong covered Wei Yong and led people into Daliang City. They needed to raise the first flag to launch the uprising in Daliang City.

Dingxiang Tower. Ziyou has already obtained the list.

"I really didn't expect that there would be so many people. The time is tight and the rebellion will be launched the day after tomorrow. It seems that we have to take action in advance." Ziyou said. Originally, he thought that there were only a few people who colluded with Zhang Liang among his disciples, and most of them lost themselves because of power. As long as he stood up, they would not dare to do anything. Now it seems that he thought too simply. These people really took the style of retainers to the extreme.

Although the relationship between the guest and the master is to support and provide strength, the guest can leave the master at any time without paying any price. It's just that most of the diners have their own professional qualities and will only leave unless the master is too stupid and makes them lose confidence. But he didn't expect that his disciples would directly join Zhang Liang.

Later, the person in charge of Luowang Daliang recruited by Ziyou asked him to take his letter to notify Bai Yifei, who was transferred to Xinzheng, so that he could prepare to enter Dongjun to put out the uprising. At the same time, he sent people to deliver news to the cities where the rebellion was about to occur, so that he could The local officials and troops loyal to Qin were ready.

Tian Zhan of Qi State is also ready for everything at this moment. The army in Xueling City has already been assembled and is quietly approaching Zibo. The cities near Xueling City had long been controlled by Tian Zhan, so they in Zibo had no idea that an army was coming towards them.

After Zhu Rong brought Wei Yong and others into Daliang City, Zhu Rong invited officials and generals from Daliang City to his house for a banquet in the name of Zhang Er's recovery. Luo Wang also sent the news to Ziyou in time.

"It seems that they are preparing to raise the first flag in Daliang. I have been hiding in Dingxiang Tower for such a long time, so it's time for me to do some activities." Ziyou said.

"Inform the people who set up the trap to follow me to Zhang Er's house."

"promise!"

At night, the lights in Zhang Er's house were brightly lit. All the officials and generals from Daliang City were present, and everyone was drinking happily. Zhang Er was controlled by Zhu Rong and was sitting on the main seat silently.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Rong stood up and said

"Everyone, Zhu Rongnai is the younger brother of Zhang Er. I have something to tell you."

Everyone stopped and looked at Zhu Rong.

"Compared to everyone knowing that the censor has begun investigating officials in our East County, and has arrested and executed many people, does everyone know who these people are?"

After hearing Zhu Rong's words, everyone looked at Zhang Er. Of course they knew who these people were, but they didn't dare to speak due to Zhang Er's presence.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Rong continued

"Everyone is embarrassed to say it, but let me tell you. The people who were killed were either our famous people in Dongjun, or those of us who had made great contributions to the Qin State in conquering the Wei State! We, the people of our country, took refuge because of Lord Xinling. Mr. Ziyou. But what about now? Most of us disciples have been abolished and replaced by others.

And Mr. Ziyou was deprived of all his official positions because of a small problem and was imprisoned in Xianyang. Mr. Ziyou fought diligently for the Qin State, pacifying the Xiongnu in the north, conquering Bashu in the south, and marching out of Hangu in the east. Qin's current territory is all thanks to Mr. Ziyou. Mr. Ziyou even found high-yielding grain seeds and warm cotton to satisfy the people. But what's the result? The King of Qin made such a decision because he was afraid that his master would be superior to his master.

As a disciple of Mr. Ziyou, every time I think about these things, I feel extremely angry. After discussing with Brother Zhang Er, we decided to raise the flag of righteousness in Daliang, rebel against the Qin State, and rush into Xianyang to rescue Mr. Ziyou. ! I have called you here today just to see what you think! "

Officials who had long been bribed by Zhu Rong stood up and expressed their support with indignant words.

"Bastard!" The Sheriff of Dongjun threw the wine glass to the ground and glared at Zhu Rong and the people around him. "Mr. Ziyou was implicated precisely because of you disciples with evil intentions. Now you want to rebel in the name of Mr. Ziyou." , you really deserve to die! I, the loyal minister of Great Qin, will definitely not join in with you!"

With the East County Sheriff standing up, other people who were unwilling to rebel also stood up. Compared with those who were bribed, those who were unwilling to rebel accounted for the majority, and there were still a small number of people watching.

"Okay, okay, it seems you are not willing to join us!" Zhu Rong looked at these people and said coldly, "Come here!"

Suddenly Wei Yong surrounded the banquet with a large number of people, and Wei Yong pointed a sharp sword at the governor of Dongjun.

"I'll give you one more chance, either raise the flag with us or die now!" Zhu Rong said.

"Loyal ministers have nothing to do with the two masters! We would rather die than rebel!" The governor of Dongjun said looking at Wei Yong and Zhu Rong.

"Okay, then I'll send you to death!" Zhu Rong said coldly.

"Who dares to take action!" Zhang Er suddenly pulled out a sword and put it on Zhu Rong's neck.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the sudden scene. Zhu Rong looked at the sword around his neck in panic and said

"Zhang Er, how could you escape my control!"
