Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 860

[Chapter 858 Entering the City]

Zhang Haoran never imagined that Liang Jun was so strong!

Moreover, the Supreme Divine Thunder is also extremely suitable for attacking cities.

This caused the original plan to collapse instantly. Liang Jun only needed a few days to break the city each time, and his reputation for being good at attacking shocked the world!

Today, there is only the last Daqu Mansion left in Xuzhou.

And Liang Jun even increased instead of decreasing, there are still 80,000!

Although all the spies and spy leaders shouted that it was impossible and that there were no more troops in the south, and that they were suspected of being crazy or suffering from hysteria, Zhang Haoran had already regarded them as incompetent and had just killed one of them.

After all, instead of increasing the number of troops in the south, couldn’t it be the result of Xu Lingzi’s conjuration?

Zhang Haoran did let people spread rumors that Xu Lingzi was a demon, liked to eat babies’ hearts, killed people and made corpses into soldiers, etc., but these rumors had no great effect.

Should those cities surrender or surrender? After all, if you don’t surrender, you will die!

Nowadays, everyone is betrayed and separated from their relatives, and they are miserable and depressed, which makes Zhang Haoran want to cry bitterly.

He descended the city wall and returned to the mansion.

The Zhang family is a millennium-old family, and Zhang Haoran’s mansion is also top-notch luxurious. Although nothing can be seen on the surface, random ornaments and hangings may have been made with the painstaking efforts of a certain craftsman.

But at this time, Zhang Haoran no longer had any thoughts of appreciation and wrote several letters in front of his desk.

“Come here!”

“Master!”

“Send these letters to the north and deliver them to the address above.”

Zhang Haoran ordered someone to deliver the letters, and then went to the backyard and outside a study room.

In the study, a young man wearing a moon-white gown and as handsome as jade was writing.

His writing is like a dragon and a snake, and an article is written in a moment. Zhang Haoran just reads it and feels that the article is full of clouds and endless aftertaste.

“Okay…Ju Shi, if this article of yours were the same as usual, I would definitely find a jug of good wine and read it slowly so that I could drink with it.”

Zhang Haoran praised.

The boy who wrote the article was a relative of his. He was smart when he was young and was accepted as a student. His name was Zhang Jushi.

This Jushi has a quick mind, a photographic memory, and the ability to draw inferences from one instance.

Zhang Haoran has always regarded him as a disciple of Yiman, and even believed that he must be the one to revive the Zhang family.

“Ju Shi, you have this article. The heat has come. If Dasong is still there, it would be easy to take the imperial examination…”

Zhang Haoran stumbled and sighed: “It’s a pity, it’s a pity…”

Looking at the handsome and elegant young man, he felt even more love in his heart, but At this time, he could only grit his teeth: “Ju Shi, kneel down!”

Zhang Jushi was startled, and then he knelt down in front of the saint’s portrait: “Teacher, please give me your instructions…”

“Now that the army is sieging the city, my Zhang family is in danger…”

As Zhang Haoran spoke, his heart was burning.

“Teacher, this disciple must follow Liang’s thieves…” The young man’s face turned red.

“No!”

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Haoran: “I want you to stay useful and join Daliang… Even if you can’t read the Four Books and Five Classics, you have to be patient!”

“Teacher?”

Zhang Jushi stared wide-eyed. Eyes, is this still the teacher who talks about small things like starvation and big things?

“Liang Jun is brutal, and my Zhang family may be in danger of overthrowing!”

Zhang Haoran said.

Zhang Jushi’s eyes widened.

He didn’t believe it.

There were many changes of dynasties, but no one dared to attack the Zhang family. Instead, they had to recognize the canonization, land and houses of the previous dynasty, and give them extra gifts to appease them.

“You don’t understand… that Xu Lingzi is different, he is a demon! He even dealt with the Taoist family he was born in, how can he be soft on the Sanskrit name?”

Zhang Haoran smiled bitterly: “What scares me even more is… the trick in the south. , In fact, it can indeed govern the country, and it can be governed very well… But if it succeeds, where will my famous teaching be put? “

“That’s why the teacher mobilized the whole state, hoping to break the rising momentum of King Liang?” Zhang Jushi said. Enlightenment.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

“Yes, I really don’t understand military affairs, which led to successive defeats. Now there is no need to say it… It is you who shoulder the important task of reviving our famous religion!” Zhang Haoran said: “Now that Xuzhou has fallen, King Liang has gained a foothold in the north. , King Jin and King Kang may not be able to compete with them, so King Liang is likely to win the world! You must remember that when you go to Liang Kingdom, you must be loyal!”

“Loyal?”

Zhang Jushi seemed to understand something.

“The foundation of my famous religion depends on the word loyalty. You must remember to be loyal to King Liang. Even if King Liang asks you to die, you must be willing to go to Jiuquan with a smile!” Zhang Haoran said: “How can a Taoist be selfish? We, the Confucians, are young and will understand in the future!”

“That’s it, I understand!” Zhang Jushi nodded.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of fighting!

“What’s going on?”

Zhang Haoran’s expression changed, and he suddenly grabbed Zhang Jushi and hid him in a secret pavilion nearby, while he sat calmly, waiting for the final trial.

The shouts of killing gradually approached.

In the end, a Zhang family housekeeper broke his hand and was kicked in: “Master… something bad happened… Lu Xiaoyi rebelled! He even gathered the big families in the city and led troops to surround our house!”

“What?”

Zhang Haoran Unbelievable, he looked at a scholar who was walking in and said coldly: “I am really blind. I didn’t expect that you, a disciple, would be the first to betray me!”

Although he had high hopes for Zhang Jushi, he was still young after all. Close disciple.

The one Zhang Haoran values the most now is his disciple Lu Xiaoyi.

But he didn’t expect that it would be the other party who led the troops to destroy his mansion.

“Teacher!”

Lu Xiaoyi saluted first, and then said: “Teacher, please be kind and give us a way to survive…”

“You? All the big family members in the government have turned against you?” Zhang Haoran sneered: “Many of their relatives died in Liang Jun’s butcher knife. You are still a scholar!”

He probably understood.

The most negative people are scholars!

Because I have read more books, gained more cognition, and experienced more, I always like to think about things when I encounter them, and then seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But the dog-slaughters were so enthusiastic that they went ahead and did it.

It’s certainly different.

For the gentry in this city, although their relatives and friends may have died at the hands of Liang Jun, if they don’t surrender, their whole family will die!

After weighing it all, I can only kneel down!

“Teacher… Prime Minister Liang has hated the teacher for a long time. Please hurry up, teacher.”

Lu Xiaoyi said calmly, and ordered the soldiers next to him to send Bai Ling and poison…

“You… you are actually planning to kill your master?” Zhang Haoran His fingers trembled, and Zhang Jushi, who was hiding in the secret room, couldn’t help but cover his mouth.

“Not only the teacher, but also the entire Zhang family… If the students are going to serve as King of Liang in the future, they must give them a meeting gift.”

Lu Xiaoyi said softly.

This gentle expression made Zhang Jushi’s hair stand on end.

“Okay, I was really blind at the time. I didn’t realize that you were still this good…”

Zhang Haoran sneered several times and then said, “Bring me some wine!”

“The students should personally see the teacher off.”

Lu Xiaoyi personally held the pot, poured wine for Zhang Haoran, and watched him drink it all in one gulp.

He turned around, ignoring the teacher who was lying on the ground and twisting in pain, and said to the person next to him: “You can send a signal to the outside. I will welcome Master Wang into the city!”

…

“Daqu Mansion actually surrendered?”

Looking at the hanging hanging above the city. White flag, even Aaron found it a bit dramatic.

“Yes…”

Tang Xun’s face still showed the shock when he had just received the surrender: “It is said that the Lu family took the lead in taking action, united with the big families in the city, and attacked the Zhang family together. They only asked for our army’s noble help…”

” Of course, I’m not a murderer, so I won’t attack those who have merit…”

Aaron smiled: “Anyway…there will be tax collectors to teach them how to be a new person in the future.”

This is actually killing with a quick knife and killing slowly! The difference between a knife and a knife.

It doesn’t make much of a difference in the end anyway!

“Both the Lu family and the family where Zhang Haoran’s disciples belong are like this…” Tang Xun smacked his lips: “If the literati become ruthless, it’s really scary…”

“Stop talking about this, let the army enter the city.”

Aaron quickly gave it up in his mind .

After a hexagram, he ordered: “Finally, within this year, Xuzhou will be at peace. It is gratifying and congratulatory.”

At that moment, the army entered the city and came all the way to the government office.

Lu Xiaoyi led all the officials to kneel down and greet him: “The sinner pays homage to the Prime Minister, may the Prime Minister be blessed!”

“You can kill Zhang Haoran, you have merit and no fault.”

Aaron laughed: “I think you are a talented person, are you willing to join me? Taishang Dao,

should we

all take part in the scientific Dao? It should be noted that in the future, officials in Xuzhou must pass the public examination, and all the questions will be from the scientific Dao

. Tang Xun secretly despised the gift.

Aaron then looked at the other officials: “It just so happens… Xuzhou’s new emperor must immediately promulgate the decree of King Liang… levy religious taxes, commercial taxes, and start landholding immediately!”

As soon as these words came out, the people below felt like they were mourning for their heirs.

But Aaron couldn’t be bothered with that.

At this time, with the power of great victory, when you can kill people at will, if you don’t carry out the difficult-to-implement laws, will you wait until the time of peace in the future?

Machiavelli said in “The Prince” – ‘Pain should be given once and for all, because the shorter the time they have to savor it, the less they will be irritated. On the other hand, when giving benefits to people, do it bit by bit and step by step, because only in such continuous giving can people feel your benefits to the greatest extent. ‘

Of course, there might be some trouble in Xinping, Xuzhou.

But what Aaron likes most is chaos. Do you really think that the sword of the Rokko Divine Weapon is not sharp?

When the time comes, whoever jumps out will be killed.

…

The group of people patrolled the city in a lively manner, and then came to the vicinity of Zhang Haoran’s mansion.

“Why are there so many dead people?”

Aaron deliberately frowned and asked.

“Prime Minister, Zhang Haoran heard that the city was destroyed and he drank poisonous wine and died…” Lu Xiaoyi bowed and said: “Then some unscrupulous people made trouble and broke into Zhang’s house to rob the wealthy women. The killing was brutal… I waited with great difficulty… The suppression continued, but the Zhang family was almost wiped out.

“In this case, it would be considered a last act of kindness to distribute all the land deeds of the Zhang family to his tenants.”

Aaron laughed and made the decision casually .

The landowners felt cold in their hearts.

At this moment, another young man was seen holding a straw mat and wrapping a body.

“Who is this person?”

Aaron asked casually when he saw it.

Lu Xiaoyi’s expression changed slightly: “This is Zhang Haoran’s close disciple and distant relative – Zhang Jushi.”

“Zhang Jushi has met the Prime Minister.”

The young man stood up, dressed in pure white like a orchid and jade tree, and bowed.

“Aren’t you afraid of my military law if you dare to collect the bones of sinners?” Aaron laughed and asked suddenly.

The young man raised his head, his eyes dark: “Wherever justice comes, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there!”

“Bold!”

Tang Xun snorted coldly, and the soldiers around him had already drawn their sabers.

“That’s all… I’ll spare your life.”

Aaron waved his hand and suddenly said with a lack of interest.

Chirp!

At this moment, an eagle fell from the sky and landed on the arm of a soldier nearby.

The soldier quickly unwrapped the message and handed it to Aaron for viewing.

“Not bad, not bad… It’s a double blessing today. General Zhan Da and other generals finally put down the rebellion in the south, although Hei Er unfortunately died in the battle…”

Aaron said calmly, as if he didn’t feel much sadness: “There’s just one thing… there was a war in the north before, King Jin led his troops southward and wanted to take over the Central Plains, and he was fighting against King Kang. “

King Kang was also a member of the Dasong clan. He was not in the capital before and escaped disaster. It can be said that he inherited the Dasong orthodoxy.

After the official was captured, he became popular among the people in the north, and a large number of sergeants and civilian officials swarmed in, and tens of thousands of people were mobilized in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, the south has been occupied by King Liang, blocking King Kang in the north. Unless this person can quickly defeat King Jin, he may still have a chance to fight the south, but there is little hope…

…

the northern plains.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting fiercely together.

One side is King Kang, who has mostly infantry, and the other side is King Jin, who has tens of thousands of cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry was divided into two groups, one equipped with heavy armor, and suddenly began to charge, like heavily equipped tanks, charging rampantly.

The other group is the light cavalry, who can shoot on horseback. They don’t fight directly with the pine soldiers at all. Instead, they shoot a round of arrows and stay away, then get closer and shoot another round – just like a pack of wolves hunting, and again It’s like kiting tactics.

It didn’t take long for King Kang’s army to collapse.

One of the Hu cavalry generals even rode into the camp alone and captured King Kang!

…

a Taoist temple.

“Kang Kang has inherited the remaining energy of Dasong. This battle can only be won, not defeated. Once defeated

, there will be no chance at all.” An old Taoist boiled tea and said slowly: “King Kang actually has an extraordinary destiny. He has the emperor’s order, and his subordinate Yue Ming and Niu Yaojin are also top-notch generals…however, the great master of Chongming Dao planned and carefully laid out the plan, but in the end it was so messed up. This is really a terrible trick of God. Fortunately, we didn’t get involved, otherwise! That’s terrible!”

A female crown next to her, with peach cheeks and almond-shaped eyes, just smiled when she heard this: “This time the world fights for the dragon… all the people involved in the competition are miserable. Needless to say, the North, Wuxiao Sect, Changjin Temple… in the South… are all broken, aren’t they? ?”

“Xu Lingzi has great courage and wants to overthrow the three religions and establish the path of science!”

The old Taoist sighed: “This man… is really an anomaly!”

Suddenly, he looked at it again! Tian, shook his head: “Dasong’s destiny is completely cut off. In the future, the ownership of China will be between Jin and Liang.”

“What about Chongming Dao?” Nu Guan suddenly asked.

“Chongming Dao, all the disciples of the great disciples fought back to death when King Jin destroyed the capital, and the blessed land of Shanmen also turned into a bad place… It’s miserable, it’s too miserable to look at!”
