93. Heaven's Will (Please Read)
Even if Song Dao dared to cut this knife, there would be a senior from the sect to stop him. (っ◔◡◔)っ
Just like the gray-robed old monk from Xuanji Temple before!
One word - benefit!
…
As for the unfair punishment of Feiyu Xian Palace.
Xu Xing didn't feel anything at all.
One reason is that this matter was not his personal experience.
The other reason is that most of the forces under the sky are like this.
The criminal law of Xian Palace seems to be fair and strict, but it is almost the same as the court, with "eight no-discussions" for nobles and clan members.
What is "eight no-discussions"? It means that some people of noble status are convicted of different crimes.
"Shuyi" says: "Violation of the law is subject to eight discussions, and the severity is not in the criminal book."
Such people, if they commit a serious crime, will be punished lightly, and if it is minor, they will not be punished.
The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
But the same crime is punished differently!
The emperor does not need to pay for his life after killing the wrong person, but the common people have to...
…
One hour later.
Xingtian Palace, Juyi Hall.
Xu Xing summoned all the civil and military officials and middle and lower-level generals of Siming Mountain.
"Emperor Chongming said that I am a dog who only knows how to stay at home and indulge in martial arts, but not how to make progress. But I know that Guanxi Road is poor. If I make progress rashly, I am afraid of the danger of overthrow..."
"The situation in the world is clear today. The King of Zhenbei is concerned about the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, and he listens to orders but not to announcements. The Tartars in the north are knocking on the gate. It is not a matter of life and death. The iron cavalry outside the pass will not easily go south. Although the southern righteous army was wiped out by the government, the local army has grown and resisted the central government..."
As the words fell, the righteous army generals in the hall were all excited.
It's been three years.
I've been waiting for three years.
Siming Mountain has been silent for three years.
Today, according to the meaning of Xingtian Wang's words, he is finally going east to attack the court!
"Fourth brother..."
"I am willing to be the vanguard and open the way for fourth brother."
Kun Tianwang stood up first, patted his chest and grinned.
A few years have passed. Although Yao Dang, the king of Daotian, and his subordinates no longer hold military power, the king of Xingtian has done his utmost to let them enjoy all the glory and wealth.
Therefore, there is no grudge or estrangement between him and Xu Xing.
When discussing important matters in Siming Mountain, there is no need to be taboo.
"My lord, I am also willing to be the vanguard general..."
Chang Ji saw Kun Tianwang grabbing the position and couldn't help but speak.
In ancient times, marching was generally divided into three armies: front, middle and back.
The middle army was generally commanded by the monarch.
The rear army was mostly baggage and civilians, and would not fight. So if he wanted to make a contribution, he could only compete for the position of the vanguard general of the front army.
"Third brother and General Chang are both veterans of the battlefield..."
Xu Xing was also troubled when he saw this scene.
Siming Mountain lacks everything except generals.
He first praised the two, then pondered for a moment and said: "We will go east and first attack Luonan Road, which is close to Guanxi Road. Luonan Road is vast and can be opened up as two battlefields in the north and south. The two of you will each lead 20,000 vanguard camps and fight separately. Whoever wins first will be the first to win.
"Just remember, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, burn, kill, loot, or massacre the city."
"Everything must be done according to military orders."
"If you have to, please report to this king first, and then make a decision. "
Xu Xing warned.
Killing prisoners and surrendered soldiers was very common in ancient times.
Although Siming Mountain was a righteous army, its military discipline was only slightly better than that of the officers and soldiers. If it is not restrained, it will inevitably ruin his and Siming Mountain's reputation.
However, it cannot be too restrained, otherwise the soldiers will lose the benefit of attacking the city and their morale will inevitably be low.
As long as it is not too extreme, it will be fine as long as the city is massacred.
For the rest, we can only do our best and leave it to fate...
It is extremely difficult to make the soldiers under his command truly become a benevolent and righteous army relying solely on the moral constraints of feudal society. Besides, Xu Xing does not have the time.
To put it bluntly, out of sight, out of mind.
The wars and deaths in the last years of the dynasty... were too common.
He is not a moral gentleman.
He just tries to do some good things as much as possible without affecting his own interests.
"Fourth brother, you are kind and righteous, third brother knows..."
"Don't worry, I was born in a peasant family, how can I be so cruel. "
Kun Tianwang laughed and assured.
Chang Ji was a little wiser than Kun Tianwang. He boasted: "Since the Lord has received the mandate of heaven, all the people in the world are the Lord's subjects. When we, the righteous army, go east, we should protect the people..."
After the two vanguard generals were established.
Gong Yangyi, Xu Ming, Xu Jing and other civil officials began to discuss matters such as food and supplies.
The food and supplies must go before the troops arrive.
War is also a battle of logistics.
The discussion lasted until late at night, and the oath-taking meeting ended.
...
The next day.
Kun Tianwang and Chang Ji each led two vanguards from Guanxi Road and headed straight for Luonan Road.
The Luonan Road garrison was horrified and defended the pass.
However, the court's military preparations were relaxed. Under the repeated attacks of the righteous army, in less than two days, the three checkpoints blocking the eastward exit of Siming Mountain were broken one by one.
At the same time, the battle report was also transmitted to Shenjing.
The Ziwei Palace was full of civil and military officials, and it was instantly silent and filled with dead silence.
"Xu Ni! Xu Ni! Xu Ni! "
Emperor Chongming sat on the dragon throne, gnashing his teeth and shouting "Xu Ni" three times in a row, "I treat him well. If he is obedient and becomes a frontier official, it would be great..."
"Why do you want to rebel against me?"
Since Ouyang Shuda resigned and returned to his hometown, he began to work hard to govern the country.
However, no matter how hard he worked, the court was still getting worse and worse, even worse than when Ouyang Shuda was in power...
Therefore, he gradually recognized the reality.
I just hope that Xu Xing can stay in Guanxi Road and don't tear the last of his face.
However--
Three years later, Xu Xing still left east.
"Do you have any advice..."
"Resist Xu Ni."
Emperor Chongming rubbed his sore eyebrows and sighed.
The matter has reached this point, and there is no room for him to get angry. The top priority is to appease Xu Xing as soon as possible or block the advance of Siming Mountain.
Once the Luonan Road is broken, the Siming Mountain Rebel Army will be less than 300 miles away from Shenjing.
"We can ask the King of Zhenbei to send troops to contain Xu Ni."
The Minister of War noticed Emperor Chongming's gaze and had no choice but to hide, so he wrote a memorial.
What he said was just nonsense.
The King of Zhenbei has 100,000 cavalry outside the pass, and the court will definitely send his troops south. However, with Xu Xing's current offensive and the tight fighting between the frontier and the Tatars, King Zhenbei could not allow the King of Zhenbei to divide his troops too much and rush to the Luonan Road battlefield.
"A bunch of drunkards and ricebags..."
Seeing the unscrupulous remonstrance, Emperor Chongming waved his hand to give a memorial and walked out of the Ziwei Hall.
Arrive at the side hall.
He asked Li Enlu, the eunuch of the palm print, to invite his team of confidants.
"In accordance with my opinion..."
"If we had not secretly sent people to negotiate peace with Xu Xing, Xu Xing's current strength would not be enough to swallow up the world."
Taichang Qing Wang Wang thought carefully for a moment and came up with a solution.
After Simingshan seized the territory, it needed enough time to digest it. And take advantage of this time to let the King of Zhenbei end the battle with the Tatars as soon as possible and lead his troops south to Qinwang, and the crisis will be resolved naturally.
"I wonder who can be sent as an envoy?"
Emperor Chongming looked at Wang Wang with burning eyes.
This time.
Wang Wang knows what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
He looked around and saw Han Sui, the imperial servant, and others watching from the sidelines, looking like they were in a state of wandering mind.
