Chapter 149 How did I end up as the Heavenly General?
Based on Su Luo's understanding of Su Changsheng, the old man's mental fortitude is absolutely top-notch; how could he possibly faint?!
But he was faking his dizziness before, and now he's really dizzy!
After giving instructions to Ye Hu, Su Luo continued to handle the miscellaneous affairs in Shuiyun Town. He finished most of them in two days and could leave tomorrow.
Yes, Shuiyun Town is now completely under the control of the Yanhuang Army, and Su Luo does not intend to stay here for long.
He wanted to return to Xiaoyun Village, partly because he was worried about Si Mingyu and the others there.
On the other hand, if Xue Baifeng could think of these things and they were related to him, perhaps others would also think of them...
Therefore, Xiaoyun Village is very likely to fall into danger.
Now that the Yanhuang Army is out of trouble, he needs to return to Xiaoyun Village to take command.
Unexpectedly, just as Su Luo was about to leave the next day, Zhang Daqiang rushed over again.
"Young Master, the Xue family has gathered over five thousand troops, originally intending to come directly to our side..."
"After hearing about what happened in Wanhai City, they all went there and happened to run into our people who were transporting composite crossbows. A great battle ensued."
"Of course, our original intention was only to reduce the number of Xue family soldiers, but halfway through the battle, the rebel army from Wanhai City arrived and drove Xue family soldiers back!"
"Upon hearing about this matter, Marquis Sinan in Linshui County fainted again from anger!"
"The rebel army in Wanhai City now numbers over eight thousand, and their morale is high. Their leader wants to..."
Su Luo's eyes widened, somewhat surprised that things had developed this way.
This really is... a single spark can start a prairie fire.
In the past, no one rebelled, and no one told the people that they could rise up despite their suffering, so they silently endured their hardships.
However, the appearance of the Yanhuang Army told them that since they were in darkness, they should become flames.
Wanhai City was a city with a population of only about 100,000, but 8,000 of them rose in rebellion.
This shows how severe the exploitation they suffered was!
Su Luo had Ye Hu transport a thousand composite crossbows over, which directly subdued them!
Su Luo asked, "What does the rebel leader in Wanhai City want to do?!"
Zhang Daqiang hesitated for a moment before saying, "He... he wants to become your godfather!"
Su Luo's expression froze instantly, and she forced a smile: "This...isn't that necessary?!"
"I can tell he's excited, but not to the point of being that excited..."
No wonder Lü Bu always wanted to acknowledge a godfather; it turns out this was an ancient custom!
Su Luo said she found it hard to accept.
But he was genuinely curious about what kind of person the leader of the uprising in Wanhai City was.
If there's a chance, we could meet.
Of course, it was just a meeting; as for the matter of adopting a son... let's leave it at that.
Zhang Daqiang continued, "Young master, the leader of the uprising in Wanhai City is named Xu Risheng. He is a grateful person."
"He said that if it weren't for the young master's timely support, without the composite crossbow, the rebel army would have been nothing but fish on a chopping board under the Xue family's army!"
"There is absolutely no way to resist!"
"Moreover, the reason he is determined to start a rebellion is because of your Yanhuang Army, young master. So he said that as long as you say the word, young master, he will lead everyone to submit to you!"
Su Luo's eyes flickered slightly, "To depend on?!"
He shook his head and said, "Write him a letter and tell him not to think about anything like 'becoming dependent' or anything like that. Even if we are currently in rebellion, we can't really become a rebel army..."
"Even if we attract the attention of the imperial court, we must still express our demands and let the court know how many outrageous things the Marquis of Sinan has done in Linshui County."
“But once we form a group, we will be a real rebel army, and the imperial court will not let us go.”
This was Su Luo's strategy: even if it attracted the court's attention, it wouldn't make the court truly regard them as a rebellious army in the short term...
The only option was for the imperial court to first focus its attention on Marquis Su Changsheng of the South.
When the forces of the entire Linshui County... no, the entire Qingzhou, were all gathered together.
Now, let's discuss the actual act of rebellion.
Zhang Daqiang nodded. Although he didn't like to use his brain, it didn't mean he was stupid. Of course, he could understand this principle.
That is to first shift the conflicting party.
Zhang Daqiang then said, "Young master, I will pass this message on to Xu Risheng."
"Wanhai City is now practically independent... The news has spread, and I've heard that in the other two cities, Jingyun City and Luohua City, the people are already preparing for uprisings!"
"Young master, if these two cities also rise up in rebellion, shouldn't we prepare some resources for them as well?!"
Su Luo stroked his chin and said, "Although it's true that you're beholden to someone who takes your money, this is a rebellion, and everyone is risking their lives..."
“Even if we provide resources, we may not necessarily benefit from it. Moreover, of the four cities in Linshui County, Feiyun City and Wanhai City are already in trouble... Su Changsheng will definitely strengthen the defenses of the other two cities.”
"Providing resources at this time might make it easy for them to trace the clues back to us."
Zhang Daqiang nodded to indicate that he understood and was about to leave.
But Su Luo stopped him and said, "We won't give you the resources, but... find three or five people from Chi You's army and have them go to Langya Mountain to collect twenty catties of 'grain' and deliver it to the two cities."
"Yes, if we encounter government troops tracking us, then set the 'food' on fire."
Zhang Daqiang seemed to understand but not quite: "Grain?!"
"Twenty catties of grain... I understand!"
Su Luo smiled and said, "That's good. Go find the person!"
Well, although we don't plan to supply the two cities with equipment like refined steel and composite crossbows...
However, we can still recreate this famous scene of thunder in broad daylight as often as possible.
This will make everyone even more convinced that it was Marquis Sinan Su Changsheng who acted recklessly, and even Heaven couldn't stand it anymore!
Therefore, Su Luo can provide them with... explosives!
Twenty pounds of explosives—send them to Chi You's army, preferably some troublemakers!
With two cities in trouble, neither Marquis Su Changsheng of Linshui County nor the people of Qingzhou will allow the remaining Jingyun City and Luohua City to suffer any more problems...
Therefore, when Chi You's army appeared with twenty catties of explosives, they would definitely be guarded closely!
And then... came the thunder in broad daylight!
At that time, even the imperial court itself might have to wonder just how much Su Changsheng has angered both heaven and man!
Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but touch the bridge of his nose, "Hehe, why do I feel like I'm about to become a Heavenly General..."
"Hmm, not bad!"
"But now I need to go back to Xiaoyun Village first and properly pamper my wives!"
