Six hundred and sixty-nine: Three resignations and three concessions
Song Qing looked at the map and then came to a conclusion that he had never thought of. Maybe the White Lotus Sect rebels were heading towards Shangluo?
If it wasn't Shangluo, Song Qing didn't know what else would be enough to attract them, but the question is... What's the purpose of capturing Shangluo?
Song Qing couldn't understand that Song Qing didn't despise the White Lotus Rebellion that much, because when he was a child, he had seen the older generation of generals fighting, and some of those generals had weak legs.
He doesn't even know the words, but he can lead troops to fight, as if he knew how to fight in his bones!
Although most of the generals have undergone systematic training, either due to family inheritance or due to various reasons, they have undergone a period of study. Not to mention they are both civil and military, their minimum quality is still good, but they are not It means that no one from a wild background is better than them, or even crushes them!
As a person who is worthy enough to be named the Duke of the country, although Song Qing is very knowledgeable, it does not mean that he will make stupid mistakes! A truly famous general will never underestimate his opponent!
The lion binds the rabbit with all his strength!
If those gangs of rebels were a bunch of people who didn't understand anything, I'm afraid they wouldn't have made such a big fuss, but Song Qing really couldn't understand what was going on...
After much thought, Song Qing decided to give it a try no matter what, so Song Qing ordered the soldiers of the Four Guards of Chang'an to assemble. They would conduct an inventory of the soldiers tomorrow, and then try Shangluo in a few days!
There is still a gap between the White Lotus Sect and the regular army. The regular army has to prepare a lot for an expedition, so Song Qing is not ready to raise troops hastily. His style of military use is steady and steady, taking one step at a time and seeing ten steps! So at least in a short period of time, he will not Prepare to immediately wipe out the White Lotus Rebellion in Sichuan and Shaanxi like a prairie fire!
Unlike Jing Guogong, who was good at surprise attacks, and Jia Jing, who was good at holding back and winning with one move, Song Qing preferred to gradually erode the enemy, especially at this time, when our army is strong and the enemy is weak or the strength is unknown. , Song Qing preferred to slowly consume the enemy troops!
So after issuing the order for tomorrow's military parade, Song Qing went to rest peacefully, leaving only a group of commanders of the Chang'an Four Guards to worry face to face...
There is a military parade, how can I show the straw bags under my hands to others?
The White Lotus Sect easily captured Shangluo, but it was only Shangluo...
After Shangluo's county magistrate learned that the White Lotus Sect's army had marched near Chang'an City, he keenly sensed something was wrong, so he paid close attention to Chang'an's movements every day. Therefore, it can be said that he almost immediately got the White Lotus Sect's preparations to attack. Your own news!
The Shangluo County Magistrate knew clearly that facing nearly 100,000 White Lotus troops, his small county could not hold on! So he made a decisive decision to run away!
But instead of running away by himself, he actually ran away with nearly tens of thousands of people in Shangluo! Since he knew the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi very well, the Shangluo County Magistrate had already made a lot of preparations long ago.
He personally went to the county government office to publicize for several days, and mobilized the county's Baojia and students to do ideological work for the people in the county. With the help of such a large group, in just one day, in this county, , Shangluo County Magistrate Zou Langu created a miracle!
He actually succeeded in moving tens of thousands of people out of Shangluo in one day, and he led tens of thousands of men, women, and children to hide in Shangshan!
So when the White Lotus Sect and others arrived, except for some people who really didn't want to run, they found an empty city!
Fortunately, the goods, food and other things were all left in their respective homes, so the White Lotus Army was too lazy to chase the people. Tian Jiuzheng was even complacent about this, thinking that his heavenly army was so powerful that when the army arrived, the people of Shangluo actually fought for it.
Run away!
Tian Jiucheng's self-confidence, which had been hit by Chang'an City, suddenly returned to him! At the same time, his heart became more and more hot... It's time!
That night, Tian Jiuzheng secretly called Zhou Junchen, the prefect of Hanzhong, and his confidant He Miaoshun and Gao Fuxing to his room. After a night of plotting, He Miaoshun ran back to Hanzhong urgently and secretly that night. And early the next morning, Tian Jiuzheng made the same excited decision
Move troops back to Hanzhong!
Wang Jingangnu was a little surprised by this order, but it would be better to transfer him back to Hanzhong, so Wang Jingangnu quietly reduced Shangluo's garrison when Tian Jiuzheng was not paying attention, and secretly ordered people to transfer all Shangluo's baggage back to Hanzhong!
Tian Jiucheng doesn't know this. Even if he knows it, I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to care about it now, because now his heart is extremely hot, and he only thinks about one thing! Apart from this matter, what else is he doing now?
Don't care!
If I had to say what it felt like, Tian Jiucheng could probably describe it as the feeling he had when he first harmed his neighbor Lao Wangtou's daughter when he was young!
Lying on the wall, pursed his lips tightly, he could only hear his heavy breathing, and a warm current surged up from his lower abdomen! It made his face feel a little hot! His whole body seemed to be burning! His heart
Thumping!
Although Tian Jiuzheng was not short of women later, Tian Jiuzheng never felt this feeling again! Now, Tian Jiuzheng felt it, and as he got closer to Hanzhong, this feeling became stronger and stronger!
Hurrying slowly and finally arriving in front of the Hanzhong Mansion, Wang Jingangnu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't continue to expand, and honestly guarded this three-acre land, when the time came, he might not have the chance to overthrow Dayan.
!
Wang Jingangnu couldn't help feeling a little relieved when he looked at Tian Jiuzheng. Fortunately, Tian Jiuzheng finally woke up. As long as the eldest brother can return to his previous state, he can still assist the left!
Wang Jingangnu thought this, but he did not expect that a big drama was waiting for them in Hanzhong at this time. To be precise, it was waiting for its protagonist, Tian Jiucheng!
As soon as the White Lotus Army entered the city, they saw a huge stone standing at the gate of the city. When Wang Jingangnu saw the huge stone, he had a bad feeling in his heart...
Sure enough, Zhou Junchen, the prefect of Hanzhong, stood up with a pompous look and said loudly on purpose: "Oh! When did such a stone statue appear here? It's really strange! It's really strange!"
He deliberately spoke loudly like this, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was a little curious about this stone statue, but it was just a stone statue. They just pretended that who had left it here for decoration. No one cared about it, so they didn't care.
Now that Pei Junchen mentioned it, everyone couldn't help but start talking about it.
Tian Jiucheng smiled and said: "It's just a stone statue, what's so surprising about it?" Zhou Junchen hurriedly bowed and said: "No! The leader's words are wrong!"
Tian Jiucheng looked at Zhou Junchen in confusion and said, "Did I make a mistake? Tell me, what's so strange about this stone statue?"
Zhou Junchen stood up and said: "Master Mingjian, my subordinate has been an official of the Puppet Yan in Hanzhong Mansion for some time, but I have never heard anyone talk about this kind of stone statue, and there may not even be such a stone statue within a few hundred miles."
!”
Gao Fuxing secretly glanced at Tian Jiuzheng, and very sensibly stepped forward to compliment him: "It's strange to say this. Since you haven't seen it, Mr. Zhou, how did this thing appear here overnight? Could it be me?
Can you walk here with long legs?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Zhou Junchen slapped his thigh and said: "That's right!" Everyone was stunned. Zhou Junchen stepped forward and pretended to measure it and said loudly: "Such stone statues are so tall.
, it must weigh a thousand kilograms! If I hadn’t walked here with my own long legs, who else could have moved such a stone statue overnight? Not even a mountain mover has such ability!"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly and talked among themselves. One said that even hundreds of people could not lift it, and the other said that it must have been made by gods. People like the White Lotus Sect themselves are talking about gods. Zhou Junchen said this
Agitation, what originally looked like a small stone statue, something that maybe three or four people could lift, was actually magnified countless times in their eyes! It has become a high mountain! It is definitely beyond the power of human power to shake!
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Zhou Junchen smiled secretly, then stepped forward and loudly said: "Master, please take a look!"
Everyone lowered their voices a little, and they all looked at Zhou Junchen again. Looking in the direction of Zhou Junchen's finger, Zhou Junchen asked Tian Jiucheng loudly: "May I ask the leader, what is that stone statue?"
Tian Jiucheng rubbed his chin and said: "It looks like... it seems to be a stone man? It's just an eye." Zhou Junchen hurriedly said after hearing this: "That's right! It's the stone man!"
Zhou Junchen stood up excitedly and said: "In the past, the Meng Yuan Dynasty was brutal, and all the heroes in the world rose up. The first person to raise the flag of rebellion was Han Shantong, the sage and Ming King of our White Lotus Sect!"
Zhou Junchen cupped his hands and said: "Why was this old man able to raise the uprising flag at that time? Become the first heroic man to resist the violent Yuan Dynasty? It was precisely because of the great responsibility given by heaven! He is such a one-eyed stone man! There are nursery rhymes from time to time, but there is no way to tell the story of the stone man.
One eye stirs up rebellion across the Yellow River!"
Everyone took a breath of cold air, and Wang Jingangnu's face was slightly ugly. He was almost sure what Tian Jiucheng wanted to do today!
Everyone was talking about it. In fact, they had vaguely heard of this sentence when they joined the White Lotus Army, but only now did they understand, oh! So this is what this sentence means! It is also from this moment on that it is official.
They regarded this sentence as their declaration of rebellion!
At this time, Gao Fuxing pretended to be shocked again and said: "Ah! There are words here!" After hearing this, everyone followed Tian Jiucheng and walked towards the back. Sure enough, there were several big words written on it!
"It is destiny that Tian will be the king!"
After Zhou Junchen read this sentence loudly, Gao Fuxing was shocked and said: "How can I write on the stone statue outside the city gate? Tian is destined to be the Tian family. Could it be that this Tian family is...
"
Zhou Junchen bowed to Tian Jiucheng and said: "It is the leader! Besides the leader, is there anyone named Tian who has this qualification?"
Everyone looked at Tian Jiucheng in shock. Just as Tian Jiucheng was about to say something with a smile, he saw a large number of people walking out of the city, and the leader was He Miaoshun.
He Miaoshun said with a smile: "Brother! Are you back? I just entered the city, and these people stopped me inexplicably and insisted that I bring them to see you! No, I really can't hide, I can only bring them here.
See you!"
He Miaoshun said "kindly" and smiled at the leading old man behind him: "Old man, what do you want from our elder brother?"
The old man looked at He Miaoshun's white teeth and couldn't help but tremble slightly. He hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and held up a plate of meat in his hand and said: "My, your king! The little old man has long admired the king.
Wei, yesterday, last night! In our dreams last night, we all saw one, one, uh, the immortal guided us, saying that Tian Shi is the king! Therefore, therefore, I offer wine and meat to the king and you all! Take the wind and wash away the dust!"
Tian Jiucheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up. When everyone was surprised, Zhou Junchen stood up again and said: "Congratulations to the leader! Congratulations to the leader! This is God's will!"
Tian Jiucheng looked at him and said: "What surprise? What surprise?" Zhou Junchen said loudly: "This is the will of God and the people. The leader is the leader! The leader must be the destiny of God!"
Tian Jiucheng smiled and waved his hands and said: "The matter of destiny is illusory and cannot be trusted." Zhou Junchen stepped forward and waved his hands seriously: "No! If only one or two people can do this, that's all. So many people are saying so.
It must be God’s will!”
Zhou Junchen then knelt down and saluted, saying: "This is God's will! This is public opinion! The master of man should act according to the trend! The leader of Tianming is the master of all people!"
Everyone was shocked. Tian Jiucheng looked even more surprised and stepped forward to pull Zhou Junchen up. Zhou Junchen said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this later. I believe you are..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Junchen firmly grabbed Tian Jiucheng's arm: "No! Such important matters must be done according to God's will, otherwise there will be disaster! Subordinate, no!
My Majesty! Your Majesty, please ascend the throne immediately! In order to achieve a great treasure! I will obey the will of God! I will save all people!"
Tian Jiucheng took a few steps back in "shock". Then He Miaoshun and Gao Fuxing looked at each other, knelt down and loudly clasped their fists and saluted: "I sincerely ask your Majesty to be crowned the great treasure!"
Tian Jiucheng smiled wryly and waved his hands: "What are you doing! What are you doing? In terms of virtue, intelligence, and ability, I am a mediocre person, how can I occupy this position? You'd better hurry up and choose another one.
Only those who are highly virtuous and respected!"
Gao Fuxing raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty's reputation resounds throughout China! It is powerful in all nine states! Who knows and who doesn't know? If the eldest brother doesn't do it, we don't know who is qualified!"
He Miaoshun also nodded and said: "Exactly! It is clearly written on the stone statue that Tian's destiny is destined! Who dares to pretend to be above you, brother? That is inviting natural disasters and seeking death!"
Zhou Junchen kowtowed to the ground: "I kneel down to ask Your Majesty to be crowned the Great Treasure! Your Majesty no longer has to shirk! No one else here is qualified to sit in this position except you!"
The senior officials of the White Lotus Army around them also recovered from the shock, and in an instant they understood what the whole incident was about today!
So they all refused to fall behind others, and they would certainly not be able to get the first credit, but they were all unwilling to give up the credit of persuading others to come in! So the generals all around knelt down and shouted loudly: "I beg your Majesty to immediately
Be honored with the great treasure! Follow God’s will! Save all people!”
Tian Jiucheng frowned and said, "Nonsense! Why are you all making such nonsense? I can't sit in this position! I'm so immoral and incompetent that I can't sit in this position!"
Zhou Junchen raised his head and looked at Tian Jiucheng and said: "Your Majesty, it is clear! This is destiny! If you do not obey the destiny, I am afraid it will attract divine punishment! Do you think that so many of my brothers in the White Lotus Army died because you refused to ascend the throne?
!"
Tian Jiucheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No! It's still inappropriate. Let's discuss this later, later! Let's go in first..."
Gao Fuxing and He Miaoshun said in a deep voice at the same time: "No! If we don't use this auspicious blessing to help my elder brother ascend the throne now, why should we wait until later? Isn't it troublesome?"
As he spoke, the two people actually stood up at the same time. He Miaoshun waved his hand, and a group of people came out carrying a chair painted with gold paint. Since they really didn't have the time or skills, they could only find some gold powder.
Then I grabbed an old carpenter and asked him to rely on his imagination to build a dragon chair out of good wood. After painting it with gold paint, it was still somewhat interesting...
Gao Fuxing took out a cloth bag from his arms and tore it open. Inside was a life-yellow dragon robe!
It’s just that whether it’s the dyeing process or the weaving and embroidery skills, they are still far behind compared to real dragon robes. It’s probably like the difference between a buyer’s show and a seller’s show…
However, no one here has ever seen what a dragon robe looks like. This one was barely made to imitate the troupe's dragon robe, but it can be used for a while!
When the two men came forward, Tian Jiucheng shouted anxiously: "What are you doing? What are you doing?!" However, he did not move at all, and just let the two people put him in a dragon robe and press him down.
On the chair!
Then the two of them knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne immediately! In accordance with God's will!" Now that the dragon robe and dragon chair were put on, the intimidation was much greater!
So all the soldiers in the audience knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne! Please follow the will of God!"
Wang Jingangnu looked on with cold eyes, feeling extremely disappointed with Tian Jiucheng and others. He already knew the outcome of this political show from the beginning, and he cursed coldly in his heart: "A common man is incapable of making plans!"
Therefore, although Wang Jingangnu was kneeling on the ground with everyone at this time, he was just coldly thinking about his retreat!
Tian Jiucheng patted his thigh anxiously, but he could not hide the smile on his face no matter what. He could only pretend to be in pain and anxious: "You have hurt me! You have hurt me!"
Zhou Junchen hurriedly walked up the steps: "Your Majesty! Now the dragon robes and dragon chairs are all upper body. Even if you follow the rules, you can no longer shirk it! Your Majesty! Ascend to the throne!"
Everyone also kowtowed in unison and said: "Your Majesty! Ascend to the throne!"
