Rebel

After talking with Huai Xin for a few words, Gu Ao bid farewell, brought wine to the banquet where Ye Xiongguan was, and all the Hanzhong soldiers stood up and saluted, "King of Han!"

Gu Ao smiled: "Sit down." As he said that, Gu Ao personally served Ye Xiongguan a cup of wine: "The old general defends Hanzhong this time, defending the five kings, he has worked hard and made great achievements. This king respects the old general."

"Don't dare!" Ye Xiongguan gulped it down, so did Gu Ao, Gu Ao said: "I heard that you have encountered many difficulties in preparing for the war against the army, can you tell me something about it?"

One of them said: "I report to the King of Han that conquering the land is what the people of the world look forward to. How can I dare to speak up, but just as the King of Han said, the food, grass, and military equipment all depend on our own preparations in Hanzhong. Brothers have some ideas in their hearts." Injustice."

Gu Ao said: "Tell me in detail, what kind of grievances do you have?"

"Firstly, the many great clans in Hanzhong thought that after preparing for the attack of the five kings, they would be able to get away with it once and for all. They didn't expect to conquer the Rong land. The Rong land was lost by the family. What does it have to do with us in Hanzhong? Why should we make wedding dresses for the family? What? Thinking about it this way, it will be hard to reap the grain distributed by the counties. It’s not like when the five kings came, everyone was enthusiastic.”

Gu Ao said, "What about the second?"

"Secondly, it is difficult to raise armaments, and there are no horses, and winter clothes are still needed when going out to the army, which is another expense. Many people say that, in this way, they are all fighting for their lives. It is better to go to fight the family, fight the family There are plenty of gold and silver treasures, and the south is still warm, so why go north?"

Gu Ao asked, "Are there three?"

The man said: "If we talk about trivial matters, there are many more. The above are just two big heads."

Gu Ao nodded, at this time another person said: "King of Han, I have something to say."

"please say."

The man said: "King of Han, how many years has our poor family been bullied by the family? I think resistance is a way to turn the world around in one fell swoop. At that time, as long as we can go down to the land, strangle the northern fortress, and build a high-level house, we can overlook the family, and the world will be strong from now on." The situation of weakness has thus been reversed, so I am determined to fight against the army, our food and grass are already in preparation, next spring we only have to wait for the King of Han to issue an order, and we will go north to Tianshui, and we will die!"

"Okay!" Gu Ao nodded approvingly, then asked Ye Xiongguan, "According to the old general's wishes?"

Ye Xiongguan said: "Today the king of Han gave wine, and the old minister dared to say a few words. It is good to resist the army, and to be famous in front of the world is something that our humble family has been dreaming of for many years! The old minister also knows that at that time, the king of Han reported The imperial court said that Hanzhong took care of all the military affairs of the Anti-Rong army, and did not ask the imperial court for payment, because it was afraid that the aristocratic family would intervene, which would ruin the family's plan in the end! Everyone in Hanzhong wants to fight against the army, and is willing to fight against the army, this is something that should be planned today."

Gu Ao sighed: "The old general is right. I have been thinking about this matter. The Hanzhong Army has to be reorganized for this time to resist the army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to enter the army. The matter of reorganization will be discussed in the future." I need to discuss more with General Ye and the other generals. According to my opinion, I want to organize the two troops of the Northern Army into the Anti-Rong Rebel Army, and I will invite you to come to make a decision when the time comes."

Ye Xiongguan said: "The king of Han is trying his best to get justice for the poor family. The minister is waiting for the king of Han to send him."

Gu Ao raised his glass and said, "Everyone and I drink for Hanzhong."

"Drink for Hanzhong!"

After talking a few words with Ye Xiongguan, Gu Ao came to Yu Junfan's seat and said with a smile, "Junfan."

Yu Junfan also smiled and said: "King of Han, let me introduce to you, these few are all young talents from the Bashu region in central Guizhou."

Those few said: "The prefect Yu has given you the award." Then they bowed and said: "See the King of Han!"

"At the banquet, there are not so many ceremonies," Gu Ao waved his hands, and said, "Everyone sit down. Jun Fan has always had a discerning eye and talent, and this king can trust me. I heard that all of you are also famous for their military exploits, I admire you! Come, fill up the wine, and I will have a drink with you. The world is injustice, the world is in trouble, and you are at the forefront, it is inevitable that there will be bloody storms, and your courage is not bad."

Gu Ao and everyone in Qianzhong County drank, and then they walked to the banquet room where Gu Ben and Tian's family were, Gu Jiang shouted loudly: "Daddy is here!"

Gu Ao handed the wine cup to the servant who had been following him to add wine, and hugged Gu Jiang into his arms with a smile, "Ouch! I've gained weight!"

Gu Jiang said in a childish voice: "...Daddy, when can you play with Jiang'er?"

Gu Ao said: "Daddy has important things to do, when you grow up, come and help daddy, okay?"

Gu Jiang said: "...then when can I grow up?"

Gu Ao smiled and said: "You boy! If you work hard in the future, you will grow up fast; if you don't work hard, you will grow up slowly." Gu Ben took Gu Jiang from Gu Ao's hand: "Jiang'er, sit down Grandpa is here!"

At this moment, Er Gou, now called 'Gu Qian', shouted to Gu Ao, "Whatever your son calls me, he should call him uncle."

Gu Ao said: "You don't know a single character, can you afford it? You will still call him Young Master in the future!"

Tian Song and Tian Bai looked at Gu Qian's aggrieved face and laughed, Tian Song said proudly: "Gu Qian, you can't read, it's better not to dream."

Bringing up a chair, Gu Ao sat down in front of the Tian family brothers and asked, "By the way, in the fields under Chulong Mountain under your jurisdiction, how is the military ration harvest this year? Do you have any complaints?"

The two looked at each other, and said: "No, you gave them their land back then, how dare they be dissatisfied? Those who are dissatisfied are probably from the rich families in Hanzhong. Now the grain has been harvested, and it is exactly the same. "

Gu Ao nodded: "That's good."

Gu Ao came to the military command of the thousand-man army commanded by Dian Bushi, and a group of people shouted loudly: "King of Han!"

Gu Ao laughed and said, "I'll fill you up with wine."

Gu Ao sat down among the crowd, and chatted enthusiastically in different places for a while, at this time Li Chongde and others brought the civil servants to toast with Gu Ao, and the banquet was very noisy.

Uncle Chen saw Gu Ao approaching in crowds, his face was full of smiles, his body was a little hunched now, and he was holding on to the table to salute Gu Ao, Gu Ao hurriedly held Chen Bo by his arm, and said: "When you come, come Okay, why bother? If Chen Jiang didn't greet you well, I'll take him as a question!"

With the support of Chen Jiang, Uncle Chen held Gu Ao's hand tightly. For a moment, thousands of words seemed to be on his lips, but he couldn't utter them. Finally, Uncle Chen moved his lips and said, "King of Han! ..."

----

The banquet was lively until dawn, and after seeing off all the people, Gu Ao went back to the inner room and asked, "Where is Mr. Huai?"

Someone reported: "Young Master Huai went to rest after the banquet was halfway through, and I'm afraid he is still sleeping now."

"Don't worry, if he wakes up, bring him to see me."

"Yes."

"Clear out all the documents these days, move them to my study, and make some breakfast, and I will eat while watching."

"Yes."

Dawn broke, and Gu Ao ushered in the morning of the second day alone in his room.Someone opened the curtain in front of the door to announce, Gu Ao raised his eyes from the Chinese book in his hand, but saw Gu Ben was being supported by Gu Shi, he crossed the threshold with some fatigue, and walked to Gu Ao step by step.

Gu Ao put down the official document, and was stunned for a moment: "Why is father here?" As he spoke, Gu Ao hurriedly got down on the bed and went to help him. He was still drunk, and after another night of hard work, he suddenly stood up, feeling sore in his head, Gu Ao rubbed With a sigh, he supported Gu Ben to sit up.

Gu Shi said on the side: "Your father wants to come to see you, and I said, you must have fallen asleep. He didn't listen, saying that you worry a lot, and I'm afraid you haven't slept, so he asked me to help him."

Gu Ben tilted his head and said to Gu Shi: "...you go back, I have something to say to Ao'er."

Gu Shi sighed, looked at Gu Ben and then at Gu Ao hesitantly, walked away while holding the door frame.

After closing the door tightly, the sound of footsteps went away, Gu Ben then said to Gu Ao: "...you, why bother."

"Father means..."

Gu Ben snorted: "...don't pretend you don't understand, today you and Mr. Yu are seated together."

"I had a very happy conversation with Mr. Yu, so we naturally sat down together. Why did father say such a thing?"

Gu Ben said: "Don't I know you yet? You are my son."

Gu Ao fell silent.

Gu Ben said: "Everyone is watching, how many people saw you taking Mr. Yu away today? You are so intimate, and you deliberately announced it to others. You are forcing him."

Gu Ao said: "Father misunderstood me, I can't help it."

Gu Ben said: "If you can't help yourself, you can fool Mr. Yu?"

"What does father mean?"

Gu Ben sighed: "Sometimes, people can't be too complacent. Mr. Yu is the one who is destined to lead Tiangang, Tiangang is evil."

Gu Ao said: "...Father, don't worry, I have my own thoughts."

"...Okay, as long as you have your own thoughts." Gu Ben sighed, stood up and was about to leave, and suddenly said: "...If you used half of your thoughts on Mr. Yu back then, you would spend half of it on Miss Mei. , she won't go."

"Father, why are you so sad for spring and autumn today?"

"I'm old..." Gu Ben shook his head: "I'm old, I always want to see you beautiful and happy, accompanied by a true lover..."
