Chapter 142 Convincing Everyone
Liang Hao smiled mysteriously, looked at everyone's anxious expressions, and spoke slowly.

"On the fifth day of next month, the Great and Good Master of the Taiping Dao will raise the banner of justice and establish the world again!"

"Ah! What!"

Liang Hao's words really frightened the patriarchs of the dozen or so families. They all turned pale and even started to tremble.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash! You are only worthy of being a stepping stone for my Liang family to advance!" Liang Hao sneered in his heart.

A few timid household heads pretended to leave and hurriedly said goodbye to Liang Hao, but Liang Hao signaled his servants to stop them.

"Everyone, before Liang said this, the door was open and everyone was free to come and go. But now, it's no longer up to you. At this point, we are all tied together and no one can escape."

Many family heads were so shocked that they took a long time to come to their senses, and they all regretted it deeply.

"Oh, Brother Bohui, this... this is treason, it's punishable by death! We dare not do it!"

"Yes! The crime of treason is no joke!"

"How about we just pretend we didn't hear what you said today?"

Looking at the cowardly appearance of these people, Liang Hao's face turned cold.

"Humph! I told you about this great opportunity because we have known each other for many years, but you still don't appreciate it?"

However, all of these family heads had bitter faces: "Master Liang, please stop joking. With such a serious crime, how can you get promoted, make money, or even have opportunities?"

Liang Hao looked at them with some disdain and explained calmly.

"I am not afraid of you knowing that the Great Sage Master has been planning this for many years. Now the court, the palace, the local prefectures and counties, and even the Luoyang Imperial Guards are all filled with the Immortal Master's people, and the current unrighteous emperor is still unaware of it. When the time comes, the Immortal Master's army will work together, and Luoyang will be captured in no time. Once the Imperial Guards are controlled, with the help of millions of Taiping Dao followers, it will be easy to sweep the world!"

"What...this...how is this possible..." Everyone was obviously shocked by Liang Hao's words.

Although the Han Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles, it is generally peaceful. Especially for the local tyrants, they live a pretty good life. Even if they want to oppose Liu He, the county magistrate, no one has ever thought that it would be accompanied by a change of dynasty. Now that such a shocking secret has suddenly come out, how can they not be shocked?
But soon, someone reacted and asked Liang Hao: "How did you know about this?"

Everyone was immediately shocked. How could Liang Hao, a mere county magistrate, know such a big thing so clearly?
When he mentioned this, Liang Hao couldn't help but show a bit of pride on his face: "I am a humble man, but I have been favored by the Great Sage Master. He has long sent a divine messenger to convey the immortal's will to me, ordering me to cooperate with the heavenly soldiers and generals, to attack Langdiao County in one fell swoop!"

"Not only that, the envoy also promised that once Liu He is eliminated, Langdiao County will still be the world of our major families. Think about it, Langdiao County is now richer than it used to be. Once we regain control of this county, the wealth and status we can obtain will definitely be far greater than before. At that time, entering Jinyang Prefecture may not be just a fantasy!"

As soon as this big pancake appeared, everyone present was immediately fascinated by it.

The dozen or so family heads present were not stupid people. After listening to his explanation and combining it with his previous words and deeds, they quickly understood and were greatly surprised.

"I never thought that County Magistrate Liang would actually collude with... Oh no, he actually climbed up to such a high position as the Great Sage and Good Teacher. No wonder he is so fearless."

What exactly is going on in everyone's mind behind these words, whether it is envy, jealousy, or hatred, is unknown.

But no matter what they thought, Liang Hao was very happy at the moment. "Everyone..." As soon as Liang Hao spoke, the audience gradually quieted down, wanting to hear what else he had to say.

"The great and wise teacher has given the order. Great events are imminent, and the day of change is not far away. This Langdiao County is now one of the richest counties in my Bingzhou, and it is close to Jinyang City. It can be said that the heavenly soldiers have seized Taiyuan County and thus controlled Bingzhou's strategic location."

Everyone agreed with Liang Hao's words.

Although everyone was more or less dissatisfied with the new county magistrate Liu He, they still admired his achievements in governing Langdiao County.

Today, the population of Langdiao County is two to three times that of the surrounding counties. It has abundant food and fodder, sufficient manpower, and the physique of ordinary people has also been significantly stronger.

Once someone with the will captures this place, they can quickly raise an army of more than 10,000 young and strong soldiers, and there will be no need to worry about logistical supplies such as weapons, food and fodder for a period of time. This is one of the best among the many counties in Bingzhou.

But here lies the problem.

Precisely because of the strengthening of these conditions, the 3,000 Anmin troops under Liu He were well-trained and well-equipped, and several commanders, including Liu He himself, were all highly skilled in martial arts and well-known far and wide. The morale of the entire army was extremely high, and they had been through hundreds of battles. Their combat effectiveness was so strong that even the Bingzhou army under the governor was probably no better than them.

With such a powerful force, their few families are probably not enough to pose any substantial threat to the Anmin Army. It is really difficult to take the credit, and if they are not careful, they may even lose the lives of their entire family.

Of course, Liang Hao could not be concealed from these thoughts. After all, he also had this concern at the beginning, but after listening to the "messenger of God's" conspiracy and the promise of rewards afterwards, he resolutely agreed.

"I, Liang, naturally know what you are worried about. Not to mention you, even I can't do such a move of hitting a rock with an egg. Since the Great Sage Master dared to issue such an order, he must have a countermeasure. How can a mere county magistrate be a match for the Immortal Master?"

After hearing what Liang Hao said, everyone felt more or less relieved of their worries.

"I wonder what good plan the great and wise teacher has? As long as we can really bring down this little Liu He, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Yes, yes, Sir Liang, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly!"

"We will obey your orders, Sir Liang, please speak quickly!"

Listening to everyone's opinions, Liang Hao felt secretly proud.

This is exactly the effect he wanted. He wanted to win over many families to serve him and make them the power of his own Liang family. This way, it would be easier for him to be valued by the Great Sage Master in the future. Once a big thing was successful, it would be his day to rise to the top!

"Cough cough..." Liang Hao pretended to cough a few times, and everyone suddenly quieted down.

"Everyone, rest assured. The Great Sage Master sent a divine messenger to bring a few bottles of elixir and made an agreement with me that on the fifth day of next month, when the Great Sage Master will make a big move, a team of heavenly soldiers will come to attack our Langdiao County. At that time, we will mix this elixir into food and drinks in the name of rewarding the soldiers. In this way, the heavenly soldiers can capture Langdiao County without any effort! By then, we will all be the heroes of the founding of the country, and it won't be a problem to confer titles and honors on our sons!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this!
Who doesn't want to seek fame, fortune and power? Now that Liu He is in power, everyone sees no hope at all. Unexpectedly, such a great opportunity would come!

But even so, the matter was too big and many people present still seemed not completely reassured.
