Chapter 349
: Meeting too late
"The Emperor is dead."
Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers along the river suddenly heard a sharp howl.
When I looked up, I saw that the largest dragon boat was already covered with shadows.
Some people were crying and running, some were wafting arrows, and some were jumping into the water and swam to the shore, pulling their armor while running out.
And the huge dragon ship gradually tilted and slowly and irresistibly sank into the river.
"The ship sank..."
Everyone stopped their work at this moment and stood there blankly.
The dragon boat that was lined up in a long row and was about to turn around and return, turned a blind eye to it.
"Who is that person? He dares to kill the King of Assassin. The emperor was really killed by him. It's amazing."
A middle-aged man with a dark face was burying his head in clearing the mud, and then raised his head and exclaimed.
"Did you understand? It's Yang Lin, the lord of Jiangdu."
A middle-aged man wearing a yellow-washed scholar's white shirt next to him showed abnormal bright red on his face.
"Last time, when Yangzhou issued a recruitment list, I thought about going on a trip. After all, the conditions they gave were too good.
However, thinking that the imperial army was coming soon, it would be quite worthless and would not have passed."
The middle-aged scribe sighed with regret.
"Yang Lin, is it so powerful? As far as I know, there are Yu Wenshang from the Yuwen Valve and You Chuhong from the Dugu Valve on the dragon boat.
These two people are all famous masters in the world. It is not easy to assassinate Yang Guang in their hands."
"Brother, who is the person in Tai? He doesn't seem to be an unknown person, but he doesn't know that the backing king has shown his power a few days ago. The evil king Shi Zhixuan suffered a great loss in his hands. Now he is seriously injured and fled, hiding in the mountains and forests.
Although Yu Wenshang and You Chuhong are very famous, they are still slightly inferior to the Evil King, so how can they stop him?
In my opinion, although the world is great, no one can suppress him by force except the three great masters. This person has already achieved great momentum."
A man with a yellow face selling cake next to him smiled gently.
"How can I tell that his situation has come true?"
The strong black man glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw the guy who was disguised as a shoulder pole, which was a little extraordinary, with a trace of metallic light coming out.
He asked with a smile in his heart.
"Hehe, the king of Kushan started his career quickly, and he was not the second person in the world. Originally, I thought he was messing around, but later I found out that it was not.
First, I issued a list of talents, then I enfeoffed the land and recruited soldiers and horses...
I heard that the people under Yangzhou have now been exempted from taxes for three years, while those who serve in the army will be exempted from taxes for their entire lives..."
The yellow-faced man's eyes were full of surprise and said, "Those who sacrifice small profits must have great plans. He gathered the hearts of the army and the people, and accepted the virtuous and virtuous masters. Compared with Li Zitong and Du Fuwei in the Jiangdong area, he was more than a hundred times more brilliant.
His reputation had never been revealed before, and the people of the world had never heard of this person, so his reputation had not been revealed.
After defeating the evil king Shi Zhixuan, he is already expected to be the top master in the world.
Especially in today's battle, he lost two top masters in a row among hundreds of thousands of troops, killing one and cutting off Yang Guang's head. He couldn't be famous anymore."
The middle-aged man in white nodded slightly: "Yes, the more resentful he has towards the foolish emperor, Yang Lin's reputation will be.
After today, even Luoyang, Chang'an, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, his reputation must have been spread.
Although he has a name for regicide, it makes people feel taboo.
However, with this reputation, some people with knowledge in the world will also want to join in and gamble on their future.”
“That’s exactly that.”
The black-faced man suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder if my two brothers are also thinking about joining the King of Backers and asking for the merit of following the dragon?"
"Conglong? Haha, it's too early to say it, it's too early to say it.
Since ancient times, it has been extremely difficult to govern the north from the south. If the king of the backing king wants to accomplish something, he should first gather all the rioters and bandits in Jiangdong.
Now that Taiyuan is in trouble and Chang'an is in a hurry, I think the Li family has a better chance."
"It may not be that Wagang is powerful and the troops are coming to Luoyang, and the soldiers are elite and food are sufficient, and they are expected to dominate the world." The yellow-faced man said angrily.
The black-faced man pondered for a while and hesitated: "Why do I think that Liu Wuzhou, the captain of the Beidi Yingyang, is the most likely to accomplish anything?
I heard that he had the support of Turkic people behind him...
Now that the Central Plains are in chaos, once the Turks enter the pass, there will be no force in the world to resist. By then, Liu Wuzhou will take a big advantage.
Although this is not very nice to say.
Relying on the power of foreigners, we will fight for the world for ourselves.
Even if you win the world, it won't be convinced.
However, I thought so in my heart. In fact, everyone has to admit that this is actually a good way.
The Turkic barbarians only knew how to destroy and loot. If they wanted to station in a city and a place, they would not be able to farm with peace of mind.
If you borrow their soldiers, you won’t worry about being turned against the other party.
Once someone gets their support, as long as some conditions are met and some promises are made, the benefits that will be gained will be too great.
Compared to the fact that the lost thing is actually not worth mentioning.
As soon as the black-faced man said this, all three of them were speechless.
Just looking at the river silently.
The water surface was already in chaos, and thousands of ships turned around.
From time to time, people fell into the water, and the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait also became riots, and the discussions of "The King of Backers, Yang Lin" were heard everywhere.
The people who were dragging their children and had a dirty face, some people headed north and some people headed south in a daze.
There are still many people shouting loudly at their neighbors.
"Go to Jiangdu, where you can divide the land and land, join the army and get exempt from taxes and taxes... Not only that, you can also open warehouses and release grain there, and you will never starve to death if you go."
As soon as this was said, someone responded.
"I know Yang Lin, the king of backers. He is the most kind and caring about the people.
Last month, my distant cousin sent a letter saying that Yangzhou City is no longer a road, the people are happy and have a peaceful atmosphere."
"Brother, don't be deceived. Where can I get such good officials in the world? Aren't they all peeled off? What's more, the Yang family, they are all not things."
"Bah, Hongnong Yang family and Shanye Yang family, is that the same thing?
The king of supporters is the backer of the people, but he is not like those nobles.
He was born in a wild family and hunted and farmed. He knew the sufferings of the people. Don’t talk too much, anyway, you will know it after you go.
I have never heard of any bandits in Yangzhou... If you think it is not suitable, then just leave again, and no one will be able to stay."
"Go together, go together..."
Someone followed suit and started to make a fuss.
Then hundreds of people gathered together and led by the familiar old man, heading south.
The yellow-faced man had a very good look, and he saw that there were hundreds of gatherings like this.
I only saw a black stream of people, slowly turning, gradually forming a huge stream of people.
"The general trend is achieved when the people want."
He looked slightly stunned. Looking back, he saw the slightly flickering eyes of the black-faced man and the middle-aged man in white shirt. He sighed, turned his head to leave, and never looked back.
The Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed, but the people of the world still had to continue to live.
Whoever wins and loses, and who can win, has to see what he wants.
Everyone has their own position and their own ties, and they will definitely go their own way.
I just hope that I won’t meet this backer so early.
When anyone thinks that the other party can kill the king and the generals among thousands of troops, a cold will arise in his heart.
Such a hero.
Unfortunately, we met too late.
