Even if Song Dao dared to make this cut, there would still be seniors from the sect who would stop him.
Just like the gray-robed old monk from Xuanji Temple before!
One word - profit!
…
As for the unfair punishment from Feiyu Fairy Palace.
Xu Xingze didn't feel anything at all.
One is because this was not his personal experience.
Secondly, most of the forces in the world are like this.
The criminal law of the Immortal Palace seems to be fair and strict, but it is similar to that of the imperial court, with "eight no objections" to nobles and clan members.
What is the "eight no-discussions"? It means that when some people with high status are convicted, the same crime will be punished differently.
"Shu Yi" says: "The law of the crime is determined by the Eight Regulations, and the severity is not determined by the punishment book."
This kind of people have committed serious crimes, no matter how big or small they are.
When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
But same crime, different punishment!
The emperor does not need to pay for his life after killing the wrong person, but the common people do...
…
An hour later.
Xingtian Palace, Juyi Hall.
Xu Xing summoned all the civil and military officials from Siming Mountain, including middle and lower-level generals.
"Emperor Chongming said that I am a house-keeping dog who only indulges in martial arts and does not know how to make progress. But I know that the Guanxi Road is barren. If we make hasty progress, we may be in danger of overthrowing..."
"Today, the situation is clear. The king of Zhenbei is concerned about the justice of the monarch and his ministers, and he will listen to the instructions but not the propaganda. The Tatars in the north are knocking on the pass. If it is not a matter of life and death, the cavalry outside the pass will not easily go south. Although the southern rebels were wiped out by the government, the local army is still in power.
, fight against the center..."
As soon as the words fell, the rebel generals in the hall all heard their blood boiling with excitement.
It’s been three years.
Been waiting for three years.
Siming Mountain has been silent for three years.
Today, the meaning behind the words of King Xingtian is that he will finally go east to attack the imperial court!
"Fourth brother..."
"I am willing to be a pioneer and open the way for my fourth brother."
King Kun Tian stood up first, patted his chest and grinned.
Several years passed, and although King Yao Dang and his followers no longer held military power, King Xing also did his best to benevolent and righteous, allowing them to enjoy all the glory and wealth.
Therefore, there was no grudge or estrangement between him and Xu Xing.
When discussing important matters in Siming Mountain, there is no need to taboo anything.
"My Lord, I would also like to be the vanguard general..."
When Chang Ji saw King Kun competing for his position, he couldn't help but speak.
Ancient marches were generally divided into three armies: front, middle and rear.
The Chinese army is generally controlled by the monarch.
Most of the rear army were just baggage carriers and civilians who did not know how to fight. Therefore, if he wanted to make meritorious deeds, he could only compete for the position of vanguard general in the front army.
"Third brother and General Chang are both veterans on the battlefield..."
Seeing this scene, Xu Xing also had a headache.
Siming Mountain lacks everything except generals.
He first praised the two of them, then pondered for a moment and said: "We will leave east and attack Luonan Road first, which is adjacent to Guanxi Road. Luonan Road is vast and can be opened up as a northern and southern battlefield. You two will each receive 20,000
The vanguard battalion fights separately, whoever wins first will take the lead."
"You just need to remember that you are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately, burn, kill, loot, or massacre cities."
"Everything must be done in accordance with military orders."
"If you are in a situation of last resort, please inform me first and then make a decision."
Xu Xing warned.
Killing prisoners and surrendering were very common in ancient times.
Although Simingshan is a rebel army, his military discipline is only slightly better than that of officers and soldiers. If there is no restraint, it will inevitably ruin his and Simingshan's reputation.
However, we should not be too restrictive, otherwise the soldiers will have no benefit from attacking the city and their morale will inevitably be low.
As long as you don't go to extreme lengths to massacre the city, that's fine.
For the rest, we can only do our best and depend on fate...
If you want to make the soldiers under your command truly become benevolent and righteous teachers, it is extremely difficult to rely solely on the moral constraints of feudal society. Besides, Xu Xing does not have the time,
To put it harshly, out of sight, out of mind.
In the wars and chaos at the end of the dynasty, deaths... were all too common.
He is not a moral gentleman either.
Just do as much good as possible without affecting your own interests.
"Fourth brother, third brother knows your kindness and righteousness..."
"Don't worry, I'm from a farmer's background, how could I be so cruel."
King Kun Tian smiled and promised.
Chang Ji was a little wiser than King Kun. He boasted: "Since my lord has been appointed by heaven, all the people in the world are his subjects. When we, the rebels, march eastward, we should love and protect the people..."
After the two vanguard generals were established.
Gong Yangyi, Xu Ming, Xu Jing and other civil servants began to discuss matters such as food, grass, and luggage.
Before the soldiers and horses arrive, food and grass go first.
Fighting a war is also about logistics.
The discussion lasted until late at night, and the swearing-in meeting ended.
…
The next day.
King Kun Tianwang and Chang Ji each led two groups of vanguards from Guanxi Road and headed straight for Luonan Road.
The defenders of Luonan Road were shocked and guarded the pass.
However, the imperial court's armaments were lax, and under the repeated attacks of the rebels, in less than two days, the three checkpoints blocking the way out of Siming Shandong were defeated one by one.
At the same time, the battle report was also conveyed to Shenjing.
The Ziwei Palace was filled with civil and military officials, and there was an instant silence, filled with deathly silence.
"Xu Ni! Xu Ni! Xu Ni!"
Emperor Chongming sat on the dragon chair, gritted his teeth, and shouted "Xu Ni" three times in a row, "I will treat him well. It would be great if he would just keep to himself and become a frontier official..."
"Why do you want to rebel against me?"
After Ouyang Shuda resigned and returned to his hometown, he began to work hard to govern.
However, despite his hard work and sleepless nights, the imperial court was still in decline, even far 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 not tear his last 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.
"You 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 imperial court will definitely send his troops south. However, with Xu Xing's current offensive, and the tight fighting between the border areas and the Tatars, the King of Zhenbei cannot allow him to divide his troops too much and rush to 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 the palm eunuch Li Enlu 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 Siming Mountain seized the territory, it needed enough time to digest it. Taking advantage of this time, let the King of Zhenbei end the battle with the Tatars as soon as possible and lead his troops south to the King of Qin. The crisis would 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 yourself in the foot.
He looked around and saw that Han Sui, the imperial servant, and others were just watching from the sidelines, looking like they were in a state of wandering mind.
