Song Zhang, a commoner in the tea field, is Guo Xiao who is disguised as a disguised person.

Long before the Northern Expedition, after understanding the dire straits from King Shou, Guo Xiao did not sleep all night and developed ambitions. Kings, princes, generals and ministers have never been determined by heaven. Looking at historical books, how many founding kings were born emperors? Those who succeeded will become kings and losers will become enemies. The world of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also robbed by the previous dynasty. Why could Emperor Gaozu raise troops to rebel? He couldn't do it?

The people in Shu were suffering and the court had no time to divide the troops in the north to fight against Liao. This was a good opportunity for rebellion from God.

If he succeeds, he will be the new emperor of the Central Plains. His father will not turn against him because of the dead Zhao family royal family. He can also forge an identity for her and then take her into the palace to favor her openly. As for her cousin, Guo Xiao felt ashamed, so he would give her cousin two ways. One is to continue to follow him. He is willing to give her cousin the honor of the queen but not to favor her. The other is to divorce him. He will choose a good man worthy of her and continue to enjoy the honor of the princess.

If he loses... he still has a way out.

"Song Zhang comes here, let's have a meal first, and then pick it after eating." A tall man with a dark face called out in front of the tea field.

Guo Xiao held the dustpan and strode over.

There were two families sitting on the ground. The black-faced man who had just called Guo Xiao was named Wang and Wu. He was a tenant farmer in Weijiang Town, Qingcheng County. There were about 200 families in Weijiang Town, but the nearby fields were all in the hands of a large landlord. The remaining people used to have land at home, but because their lives were getting poorer, they had to sell land to the landlords, and then rented land from the landlords to make a living. Among the many tenant farmers, Wang Wu was cheerful and helpful, and had the highest prestige.

The woman in green sitting beside Wang Wu is his wife Li. The couple has a ten-year-old daughter named Liu'er. Another strong man is Li Shun, who is Li'er. Because everyone in the family is dead, he came to join his married sister and lived with his brother-in-law Wang Wu. This year, he is 23 years old. He has a fiancée who lives in a neighboring village. The two families plan to get married after selling this batch of summer tea.

"My brother, do your best. Let your sister-in-law take a look at you as a wife next year." Wang Wu ate a bite and chewed, saying to Guo Xiao vaguely. In Wang Wu's eyes, Guo Xiao was a disaster victim who fled from other places. He was taciturn and looked difficult to get along with. In fact, he was diligent and capable, and was very honest. In order to repay his grace for a meal, he was willing to be a slave to the Wang family. Wang Wu couldn't bear it. Seeing that Guo Xiao had nowhere to go, he accepted Guo Xiao as his brother.

Guo Xiao smiled, lowered his head to eat, and his eyes fell on the tea fields beside him. This year is another dry year, and the tea harvest is not good. He likes Wang Wu's prestige among tenant farmers, but Wang Wu is honest and has no reason to persuade Wang Wu to rebel...

"Li Shun, Li Shun! No, go and have a look. Zaoer was bullied by their village chief and forced to commit suicide by hitting the wall!"

The tea fields were planted on the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a sudden shout from the villagers came from the village. An anxious voice came over and continued to echo in the empty valley. Wang Wu was so shocked that he forgot to chew the steamed buns. His wife Li looked down at the foot of the mountain in disbelief. Guo Xiao was also surprised. Only Li Shun threw the steamed buns in his hand and ran down like a wind.

"Look at Liu'er, my brother will follow me!" After reacting, Wang Wu told his wife in a deep voice, and he called Guo Xiao and ran away.

The three big men rushed to the neighboring village three miles away, but only saw the bloody body of Li Shun's fiancée Zaoer. The 17 or 18-year-old girl was thin and tiny, with her face covered in blood. Only those eyes that were dying with eyes closed could see horror and despair, and a bit of beauty.

"Zao'er!" Li Shun rushed over, snatched his fiancée's remaining body, lowered his head and cried bitterly, his shoulders trembled significantly, and he was indescribably sad.

"I'm going to sue the official!" Zaoer's father's eyes turned red with anger, and he yelled at the closed door of the village chief's house while coughing.

Remembering his enemy, Li Shun suddenly looked up and rushed over to kick open the door of the village chief's house. However, the village chief raised several strong men at the house and joined forces to stop him. The fight failed. Li Shun and Zaoer's family went to the county town to sue the officials. The magistrate was promoted to the hall, and the village chief and the villagers were interrogated. Naturally, the village chief refused to admit it and secretly gave the magistrate ten taels of silver. In this way, although the tenants all helped Zaoer's family testify, the magistrate still sentenced Zaoer's parents. Li Shun falsely accused him and beat twenty boards one by one.

The yamen runners beat him hard, and Li Shun was carried home by Wang Wu and Guo Xiao in turn.

At dusk, the heat had not dissipated. Li Shun lay on the kang, her face buried in her arms and cried constantly. His sister Li picked herbs and cried to help her brother apply medicine. Wang Wu couldn't see it, so he walked to the backyard and punched the wall a few times.

"Brother, the gentry bullies the people and the government helps the evildoers. The second sister-in-law died today. If we continue to endure it, the one who died unjustly tomorrow may be Liu'er, sister-in-law."

A voice of endurance and anger came from behind him. Wang Wu felt a stern heart, and he slowly turned around and looked at his brother with complicated eyes. He knew that his brother was telling the truth, not exaggeration, but what else could they do besides endurance? He could not defeat the landlords and gentry, nor could he fight against the government yamen runners...

"Brother, let's go against it." Guo Xiao stared at Wang Wu's eyes and said, his voice was low, but it directly stabbed Wang Wu's heart like ice.

Wang Wu was shocked and subconsciously looked at his left and right, afraid that he would be heard. He was sure that there was no one, but he realized that he was sweating all over. He approached Guo Xiao and said worriedly: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Guo Xiao clenched his fists, and a long-depressed rage erupted in his eyes: "Brother, think I'm crazy? Do you know why I'm wandering here? Now, I don't hide it from my elder brother. Like my second brother, I'm both bullied by my fiancée, but I can't swallow this. While the beast is alone, I wiped the other person's neck with a knife and then fled here. I wanted to pass through the name and steadily, but what happened? Second brother..."

Before he finished speaking, he punched the wall.

Only then did Wang Wu realize the pain in his brother's heart. Both younger brothers were forced to death. He listened to his daughter-in-law and his daughter's crying. Thinking that his daughter might be targeted by bullies when she grew up, Wang Wu gritted his teeth and made a decision in an instant, pressing Guo Xiao's shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, my brother will contact other tenants tomorrow. But my brother has never studied and doesn't know anything. How to act, I still need my brother to give me advice."

"My life is saved by my elder brother. As long as my elder brother gives me the order, Song Zhang is willing to be the vanguard and conquer the city and plunder the land for me!" Guo Xiao turned the railway decisively.

The two hit it off and went to discuss with Li Shun. Li Shun died of his fiancée and wanted to peel off the landlord's family and eat the meat of the county magistrate's yamen runners, so naturally they would not object. Next, Guo Xiao, the "third brother" who had studied, began to act as a military advisor, first advising Li Shun to take care of his illness. He and Wang Wu waited for the opportunity.

A few days later, the official uniforms came to collect tea, and the price was 10% lower than last year. Shu was severely drought, and this year there were fewer tea picks. The government did not allow the people to sell it privately while keeping the closing price down. Four percent of the tea grown by tea farmers was sold to the landlords, and the rest was sold, and they could not even buy food for half a year. It was simply impossible to pass!

At this moment, Guo Xiao signaled Wang Wu that Li Shun could secretly win over the tenant farmers, and also helped the two of them think of a lobbying word: "I am sick, rich and poor, and now I will be equal to you."

Officials and businessmen, landlords are rich by plundering us, but we are getting worse and worse. Today I want to revolt for the people, and everyone will share what they have in the future!

The tenants were worried about this. When they heard that they could share money, and with the large number of people, it seemed easy to grab a landlord in the town, and they all expressed their willingness to join. In just two days, more than 200 tenants in Weijiang Town all defected to Wang Wu. That night, Wang Wu raised the torch high and led the crowd to attack the landlord's family, killed the landlord's family, and shared the money equally.

The arrow was drawn without turning back. Since the person was killed, he had to continue to kill, otherwise he would be arrested by the government sooner or later. So he rested for a night and had enough food and drink in the morning. Wang Wu and Li Shun took another hundred strong men to the next village. Life was difficult, and the tenants in each village had already accumulated a lot of resentment. At this moment, when they saw someone taking the lead in beating the landlords, they didn't need Wang Shun and others to persuade him, so they took the initiative to pick up the pickaxe and fight with them.

In just ten days, all the villages and towns under Qingcheng County were owned by Wang Wu and Li Shun, and his men also gathered 20,000 strong men with red eyes.

The rebel army was led by Wang Wu and Li Shun, but few people knew that the real advice was actually the two brothers and military advisor Song Zhang, who was the famous prince of the Duke of Wei in the capital, Guo Xiao.

Qingcheng County Government Office, Guo Xiao general Wang Wu and Li Shun called to the map and pointed to a place east of Qingcheng and said, "Brother and second brother, what do you think about attacking Qiongzhou tomorrow?"

"The third brother said we will fight wherever we hit!" Wang Wu said with a crazy laugh. After getting the sweetness, he was shouted by thousands of people. Wang Wu had already raised his courage and no longer had the hesitation of the first uprising. The trust of the two brothers in Guo Xiao became increasingly firm.

Just as the rebels were crazily attacking nearby counties, the memorials of officials from Shu about the rebellion of the people were quickly spread to the capital.

At the same time, after stabilizing the internal affairs of the northern Liao Kingdom, Empress Dowager Xiao, personally led his army south to avenge the provocation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Internal and external troubles, the court is in a hurry!
