Chapter 218 Instigating rebellion against Liu Biao
Wan Qing and his party, the number of troops increased all the way, and when they arrived in Hubei, a total of 40 elite soldiers were dispatched from Beizhiliwei, Henanwei, and Huguangwei, and the remaining 40 troops were available for Wanqing to call at any time.It can be said that he has many soldiers and generals. Compared with the time when he defended the prince from foreign enemies, he was much more powerful.

"General Wan, we received a report from the front. The rebel Li Li has three brothers, one named Wang He, one named Shi Kui, and one named Liu Biao. Wang He and Shi Kui are both reckless men. They won the hearts of the people with their brute strength. Not worth mentioning.

The third child, Liu Biao, is a scholar. He is the cousin of Liu Tong, the leader of the rebellion five years ago.After Liu Tang was suppressed, some of his old subordinates followed him.He... is not willing to succumb to Li Li. We can completely start with Liu Biao and attack from the inside.When the time comes, the rebellious party will be wiped out without any blood, so you can..." When Zhang Heng was at Taiyuan Pass, his character was not very good, he was a prostitute, but his brain was very good.

Wan Qing held 80 military power this time, he didn't mind at all, and fought with the rebels.But he had his own plan, so he nodded and said: "Okay, find this Liu Biao, give him some benefits, and ask him to help us trap Li Li. He joins the army, bring a few people to disguise themselves as refugees and sneak in to find Liu Biao. Cheng. Lieutenant General, you take 200 people to support. You must tie Liu Biao back to the camp."

Deputy General Cheng Hanbai and army soldier He Jian took the order.

"The general is brilliant. General Cheng and his deputy general Yu Lang are both highly skilled in martial arts. Together with the military advisor sent by the prince, their Northern Zhili Guard is really impressive." Zhang Heng bowed and asked: "General, is it possible? Caring about the prince? Why let Cheng Hanbai take the lead?"

Wan Qing sneered and said: "Master Cao told me, if you want to cause some trouble for this kid, it's best to get rid of him without anyone noticing. Let's discuss matters, fight alone, and arrange troops. Who is he in this army? His opponent? But in terms of human resources, he is just a reckless man. Shen Congxi said he is a military advisor, but he is actually a scholar. When the time comes, the rebels will get rid of them without us taking action. "

Zhang Heng clapped his palms and said with a smile, "So that's how it is!"

In Cheng Hanbai's military tent, several people were also discussing.On this trip, Hanbai brought [-] Northern Zhili Guards.Normally, the deputy commander of the transferred troops would accompany the army to command, but this time Cao Baoli ordered his general in court.Anyone else would have been unable to bear the humiliation of being demoted to a subordinate position, but the prince treated him privately and sent Shen Congxi, the young master of Zhanshi Mansion, as his military advisor, which saved his face.

Shen Congxi said: "Inciting rebellion against Liu Biao is indeed the best strategy, but it should be done secretly. If you send 200 people in, wouldn't it be superfluous and self-exploiting? What is the identity of He Jian who joined the army? Whether you can cooperate with him is the key."

"If you don't ask me, I'll forget it!" Cheng Hanbai said with a smile: "Before the departure, Sun Yanxi went to Deshengmen to see him off, and told me quietly that He Jian was a nephew of Mrs. Sun's family, even his cousin, and he was also watching in the team. I didn’t recognize him until he arrived, and he even went over to say hello.”

Shen Congxi patted Cheng Hanbai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then there is a way! There are only a few of us, sneak into the refugee camp to find out the situation, find an opportunity to kidnap Liu Biao's relatives for coercion, and then instigate Liu Biao's rebellion."

After Yu Lang ordered two hundred soldiers, Cheng Hanbai took Shen Congxi to join He Jian and rushed to the Jingxiang Mountains.When they arrived at Xiangyang, they left their horses at the inn. Two hundred sergeants changed into civilian clothes and hid outside the nearest town to wait for orders.

Cheng Hanbai, Shen Congxi, Yu Lang, Cheng Dan, Cheng Shuang, He Jian and his two generals Tie Long and Tie Hu all disguised themselves as refugees.

"Major General Cheng, you and I are indeed destined to be together. It's not common for us to pretend to be beggars together!" He Jian looked at everyone's refugees and pretended to laugh.Cheng Hanbai became famous at a young age, made many military exploits, and now became the prince's brother-in-law. Although He Jian was related to the Sun family, he did not want to make friends with him.He didn't want to go to Jingxiang together this time, but it turned out to be what he wanted.

"From now on, you can't call me 'Young General'. I'm older than you, so you can call me eldest brother. Cong Xi is the youngest and the third child. The others are all fellow villagers of our three brothers. Just call me by their first names." Cheng Hanbai smiled and said, he could see that He Jian was also a cheerful person.

He Jian nodded and said: "That's right! Your sister is my cousin's adopted sister, and brother Cong Xi is also the assistant minister of the Crown Prince's East Palace. You and I should be brothers. Eldest brother, third brother, let's go!" Eight " "Refugee" strode onto the road.The prince quickly received the news. He handed the note to Sun Yanxi and said with a smile: "Your cousin is also a good man. They are sworn brothers between Jing and Xiang. When they come back, you have to treat him to a meal."

Sun Yanxi frowned: "Why did Wan Qing send Han Bai to take the lead? I don't believe he has such good intentions and let Han Bai take the lead. There must be a conspiracy inside."

The prince smiled and said: "Do you think Cheng Hanbai and Shen Congxi grew up eating porridge? Believe them."

Jingxiang Mountain, as the name suggests, is a mountainous area in the border areas of Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang. The steep mountains here have become a natural barrier for refugees. Farmers who are forced by land annexation or taxation and corvee would rather become "shack dwellers" than go to the mountains. earn a living.There are not a few refugees who flock to the mountains every day, and the brothers are inconspicuous among them.

"Sir, we are here for the first time, and we are thinking about how to make a living under the leaders. We don't know where to go?" Yu Lang asked the old man in the tea shed.

The old man glanced at them, nodded and said: "Young man, you are strong, you should join the army. I wonder which general you want to join? Their barracks are not in the same place."

"Our third brother and General Liu Biao and Liu are scholars in the same field. We and several fellow villagers want to join him, so we can be considered old acquaintances." Yu Lang said with a smile.

"Oh! The laws of heaven are unfair now. Even the scholar is forced to rebel..." The old man shook his head and sighed: "General Liu's military camp is at the far west. You can walk three to five miles from the back road to get there."

Cheng Shuang paid for the tea, and they walked west.After entering the mountain pass, the mountain road inside is even more rugged. If the army comes directly, it may be difficult to take advantage.After walking for a few miles, as expected, I saw a flag fluttering in the distance, with the word "Liu" written in the middle.Cheng Hanbai was about to walk in, but Shen Congxi stopped him:

"We divided our troops into three groups: Yu Lang and Cheng Dan, who tried to kidnap Liu Biao's only son Liu Chen and waited for him at an inn in the town. We, the three brothers from the Cheng family, came all the way from Xihua, Henan to vote for Liu Biao. Cheng Shuang, Tie Long, Tie Hu, you guys Three all the way, join the army, if we fail to instigate the rebellion, listen to the whistle and guide us to retreat."

Several people nodded and acted according to the plan.

After waiting for about half an hour, after seeing the signal that Yu Lang had succeeded, the other six people calmly entered the military camp separately.Liu Biao still valued his status as a scholar, so Shen Congxi reported that he was a scholar in the same subject, and the three of them successfully met Liu Biao.

After the greetings, Shen Congxi started to get down to the topic: "General Liu, you and I are both people who have lived in poverty for ten years, but have no way to serve the country. And your cousin, General, once seized the banner of the uprising and responded to every call. There is a saying... Don’t know whether to talk about it or not?”
