94. The soaring incense formation penetrates Shenjing and takes your head for use.
"I... am willing to go to Luonan Road to preside over peace talks..."
Reluctantly, Taichang Qing Wang Wang thought he was unlucky and accepted the mission as an envoy.
He still had some thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and he also thought that he had joined the ranks of Emperor Chongming's close confidants and that Emperor Chongming would never sell him out, so he came up with a solution to the problem.
I never thought that Emperor Chongming would be so mean and ungrateful.
Once the secret of the peace negotiation is revealed and the whole world is in an uproar, Wang Wang... even ten heads will not be enough to behead him.
"Wang Aiqing..."
"After the peace negotiation is successful, I will be richly rewarded."
Emperor Chongming also felt that he was a little ruthless and said some comforting words.
…
the other side.
In just one month, Siming Mountain had captured the entire Luonan Road. Xu Xing also took advantage of the military strength and brought 100,000 soldiers and horses to Xuanji Temple, which is known as "spanning two prefectures and full of monk fields"
.
This martial arts sect and thousand-year-old ancient temple is located on the top of Luojia Mountain.
Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can see a green mountain rising from the ground. The winding mountain road is dotted with solemn temples, hidden in the forest.
From time to time there are people climbing up the mountain.
When you look to the top of the mountain, you can see a layer of cliffs piercing the sky and a huge Buddhist temple lined up like a screen. It seems that someone deliberately used great power to flatten the entire Luojia Mountain to build this Buddhist temple.
"Xuanji Temple and Xiaoyaomen are both known as the place where martial arts leaders in the world are known."
"When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."
Xu Xing dismounted and bowed to Master Kukai, the abbot of Xuanji Temple, who had come to ask for surrender, with an easy-going attitude.
After knowing the true background of Xuanji Temple, he will not be rude to Xuanji Temple easily.
"The Heavenly King... seems to have practiced my temple's martial arts?"
Master Kukai originally planned to deal with the mortal rebels at will, and just give up some gold and silver to let the rebels retreat. However, what he did not expect was that this King Xingtian actually exuded a peaceful aura of Buddhist internal skills.
It is vaguely related to the "Eight-Armed King Sutra" of the Zhensect of Xuanji Temple!
Even the purity of the true energy is far superior to him.
"I will tell you nothing from Master Kukai..."
"The technique that I practice is exactly the "Eight-Armed King Sutra" of your temple."
"This technique was given to my eldest brother, King Mourning Heaven, by the former leader of the rebel army, Monk Shang..."
Xu Xing beat the snake and put it on the stick, and immediately explained the origin of his skill.
To compete for the world, the most critical step to enter the Immortal Sect is to obtain the support of Xuanji Temple. Among the outer sect forces of Feiyu Immortal Palace, Xuanji Temple is a quite powerful one.
It can help him block the pressure from Fengxi Kingdom Taizu.
"Now my cultivation has reached the innate level."
"The reason why I came to your temple today is not for gold and silver, but for the follow-up exercises from the Eight-Armed King Sutra."
He added another sentence.
The purpose is to clarify his qualifications to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with Xuanji Temple.
"Shang Monk?"
"It should be the Three Rings, right?"
Master Kukai was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief.
With the strength of Xuanji Temple, it is really not difficult to catch a monk who rebelled against the temple. However, after Monk Shang defected from the temple and became a rebel, Xuanji Temple did not want to attract too much attention from the world, so in the temple
So the matter was suppressed.
As for the leakage of the skills...
What Xuanji Temple lacks is not the exercises, but the people who practice them.
The innate realm is so difficult.
Even if the scriptures are lost outside the temple, it may not be possible for anyone to succeed in practicing them. Even if they really succeed in practicing, they still have to go to Xuanji Temple to obtain the subsequent exercises.
This is also a disguised form for Xuanji Temple to increase their strength.
Therefore, the matter of Monk Shang rebelling against the temple and stealing the scriptures gradually became unresolved.
"etc……"
"The King of Heaven just said that he had achieved a breakthrough in innateness?"
"The one who broke through with the Eight-Armed King Sutra?"
After two or three breaths, Master Kukai finally reacted.
"Eight-Armed King Sutra" is a top-notch technique that can be practiced internally and externally. It can break through the innateness, but it is also more difficult than ordinary techniques...
The King Xingtian in front of him looked to be in his twenties, not even thirty.
Even if you practice this skill since childhood, you may not be able to break through to the innate level.
Seven years ago, Monk Shang rebelled against the temple and took away the "Eight-Armed King Sutra". In other words, Xu Xing only had seven years at most to practice this skill.
How can one reach the innate realm in just seven years?
"Could it be..."
He was feeling faintly excited.
I have a guess.
"King of heaven, can you let me take a pulse?"
Master Kukai suppressed the unrest in his heart, clasped his hands together, and recited the Buddha's name.
As if he was afraid that Xu Xing would disagree, he added, "Xuanji Temple can give the follow-up exercises to the Heavenly King, but the Heavenly King is not from this temple, and I am afraid there will be many long-term injuries in the exercises. If he practices rashly..."
At this point, he stopped talking.
"King of Heaven..."
"Monk Kukai is not weak in cultivation. If we let him get close, something unexpected will happen."
Seeing this, Gong Yangyi stepped forward to admonish him.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Today's King Xingtian is one of the heroes in the world, with a noble status, comparable to the dignity of an emperor. If he is approached by Master Kukai, the master of Xuanji Temple, he will inevitably follow Jing Ke's example and assassinate Xu Xing.
Of course, this is extremely unlikely.
But as a human minister, Gongyang Yi had the need to remind him.
"No problem."
"Master Kukai will not harm me."
"If things go wrong, my 100,000-strong army is here and will definitely wash away Xuanji Temple with blood."
Xu Xing waved his hand and motioned for the guards on the side to come closer with their shields.
If you want to show your own value in front of Xuanji Temple, it is only a bad idea to show your qualifications blindly. You must also let Xuanji Temple see his method of doing things. Otherwise, an Adou who cannot be supported, no matter how good his qualifications are, will not be able to survive in the long run.
On the road to immortality, such people will only sink in the sand and bring disaster upon themselves.
Qualification is a prerequisite for investment.
And the means of doing things... are the guarantee for investors to increase their investment.
"The King of Heaven is cautious..."
Seeing this scene, Master Kukai praised it.
Pretending to be brave is just a waste of one's own life. Xu's behavior does not seem to be a hero, a man, and rather stingy. But in fact, since ancient times, people who can achieve great things are just this kind of people.
"Have a courageous and diligent heart, and do small and cautious things..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Make the master laugh."
Xu Xing also explained himself.
Gou, is the kingly way to survive.
If you can learn from Han Xin and Liu Bang, don't learn from Bawang in name only.
It is indeed brave to fight tens of thousands of Jiangdong's disciples against Han Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops. But on the battlefield, more soldiers are more powerful, and the more the better...
The armor was shining, and under the gaze of a hundred thousand rebels, Master Kukai walked slowly to Xu Xing's side, took a pulse and checked. After waiting for a few breaths, he said "Sure enough".
Then--
He took half a step back, bowed to Xu Xing and said:
"The King of Heaven is the King of Ming who came to this world..."
"Lao Na is sincerely convinced. Not only is he willing to offer the follow-up exercises of the "Eight-Armed King Sutra", he is also willing to send another eight hundred monks down the mountain to follow the dragon to help the king of heaven conquer the country."
Kukai made the same decision as in the fate deduction.
Support Xu Xing to fight for the dragon!
"If this king takes over the world..."
"Xuanji Temple can be a national temple."
Xu Xing wrote a bad check.
Anyway, the status of Xuanji Temple is now no less than that of the royal family. Whether it is a national temple or not, for Xuanji Temple, it is just the icing on the cake.
His words were just an attempt to improve the relationship between Xuanji Temple and him.
"I thank the King of Heaven for his kindness."
Monk Kukai expressed his gratitude.
…
Return to the handsome tent.
Xu Xing inspected the 800 monks donated by Xuanji Temple and saw an old monk in gray robe inside. He immediately put aside his worries and began to discuss the next offensive with the officials.
"Ming Gong..."
"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower."
Gong Yangyi shook his feather fan and started plotting.
"The best strategy is to go down the Cao River, occupy Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, and cut off the imperial court's tax land. The sacred capital has many nobles, ministers, and millions of people. If the water supply is cut off, there will inevitably be a food shortage..."
"When the time comes, Shenjing will be destroyed without an attack."
"The central strategy is to attack the Yanshan Road in the north, cut off the connection between the King of Zhenbei and the imperial court, and then unite with the Tatars outside the pass to attack the 100,000 cavalry of the King of Zhenbei..."
In one breath, he said the best and the middle strategies.
Among the two strategies, the better one seems prudent, but it is also a dangerous move.
Nowadays, the cavalry outside the pass is restrained by the Tatars in the north, so they are unable to divide their troops and go south to resist the Siming Mountain rebels. But if time goes by and the Tatar troops retreat, the king of Zhenbei will definitely go south to the king of Qin. If Siming Mountain had not captured the two roads south of the Yangtze River at that time...
, although it will not lead to deep death, the momentum of going eastward will inevitably be broken, and it will be difficult to move eastwards in the future.
The later middle strategy is to occupy the Yanshan Road and join forces with the Tatars to strangle the Zhenbei King's cavalry outside the pass... is the most reliable. Although the Zhenbei King has a strong army, he can only rely on the border and it is difficult to support his army. The Zhenbei King Li Liang and Zhenbei King are separated from each other.
The connection with the imperial court was to cut off King Zhenbei’s food and grass...
Once one hundred thousand cavalry are killed, the whole world will be at the mercy of the Siming Mountain rebels.
"The best strategy, the middle strategy..."
Xu Xing frowned and shook his head.
It is true that Gong Yangyi’s best and middle strategies are both good.
But for him, the best strategy is too slow and the middle strategy is too dangerous.
The best strategy is to slowly encroach on the world.
And the middle strategy... seems to be a safe one, but the rabbit is cornered and bites people. One hundred thousand foreign cavalry is not a good thing. Although these people have a blood feud with the Tatars, they can fight against the Tatars for their own lives.
There is also a possibility of joining forces.
"Ming Gong, do you have any clever tips?"
Gong Yangyi didn't dare to show his shame in front of Xu Xing, so he asked cautiously.
When it comes to the general strategy of the world, he is not as good as Xu Xing.
Monk Shang, who was acting as the mascot in the handsome tent, saw this scene and his face suddenly turned red.
He was very familiar with the first half of the act. The upper, middle and lower strategies were rejected one by one. But in the second half of the act, his former mastermind Gong Yangyi did not play according to the usual rules...
Yawen library
"Although the policy is good, once we fail to capture Jiangnan, we will become a piece of fish on the chopping block of the imperial court."
Xu Xing pointed out the shortcomings of the best policy.
While guarding the city on the Guanxi Road, the Siming Mountain rebels were not afraid of the cavalry outside the Guan.
However, when we arrived at the great plain of Luonan Road...
This is the home field advantage of the Guanwai Cavaliers.
Gong Yangyi and the ministers nodded, agreeing with Xu Xing's view.
Although the capture of Luonan Road in Siming Mountain went smoothly, it does not mean that the capture of the two roads south of the Yangtze River was as smooth.
"As for the central strategy..."
Xu Xing sighed, "The iron cavalry outside the pass have made great achievements in resisting the Tatars, which will benefit all the people. We and other rebels will punish the people and relieve the people. Although the strategy can be insidious, it can't force them to a dead end..."
After clarifying the justice of the rebel army's crusade against the imperial court.
He changed his tone and pointed out the shortcomings of the middle strategy, "Although Mr. Gongyang's plan is feasible, we must be careful to prevent the King of Zhenbei from joining forces with the Tatars and heading south together. By then, China will definitely be devastated..."
"Yi may become a sinner for the ages..."
Gong Yangyi bowed down and expressed his admiration for Xu Xing.
The biggest difference between Xing Tianwang and the Eight-Armed Dharma King is that Xu Xing can see the flaws in each of his strategies, and then assesses the situation and weighs it, instead of being indecisive and unwilling to adopt it.
Therefore, after Monk Shang rejected his three strategies, he thought that counselors should look out for himself first and abandoned Monk Shang as his lord.
But when he arrived at Xu Xing, he would only serve conscientiously.
I dare not show any disloyalty.
"I have made up my mind..."
Xu Xing saw that after rejecting Gong Yangyi's two strategies, the soldiers returned to their hearts and had courage, so he said: "From Luonan Road, go straight to the Shenjing and end the court's orthodoxy. As long as the Shenjing is attacked, the emperor will die, and the King of Zhenbei will definitely make a sacrifice.
Accept the surrender in order to maintain the old status quo. From then on, we will slowly encroach on the other roads..."
If he continues to use the Song Dao Dragon Vein, he will die sooner or later.
Rather than waiting for death, it's better to take a risk!
Moreover, he did not act without a plan.
As long as Shenjing loses the legitimacy of the imperial court, both he and King Zhenbei are members of local forces and can go to fight for the world, but he is more sure...
In addition, before the world is conquered, as long as Siming Mountain continues to supply the King of Zhenbei with food and grass, the King of Zhenbei will not rebel lightly to avoid being attacked from both sides.
"The Duke has good plans, and we will obey the orders of the Duke."
Gong Yangyi bowed deeply.
The other generals in the commander's tent also took orders one by one.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However——
At this moment, a guard outside the door came to report, "King of Heaven, Prince Taichang has come to envoy to seek peace."
All the generals in the camp looked at each other for a moment.
As soon as they decided on the strategy of attacking Shenjing, Emperor Chongming came to beg for peace?
"The destiny lies in four, not in one."
"This is destiny to help me..."
Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Chang Ji, Gong Yangyi and other civil servants and generals were startled when they saw this, not knowing Xu Xing's intention. However, they did not want to dampen King Xingtian's interest. So they also laughed together, and the laughter spread through the entire commander's tent.
After a while.
Taichang Qing Wang Wang cautiously stepped into the rebel commander's tent.
"Shijun Xu..."
"You have received the favor of the emperor, so why do you bully the common people and commit thieves?"
"If you don't retreat, His Majesty will be furious and will annihilate your three tribes!"
Seeing that the legendary King Xing Tian had the temperament of a scholar and was not as ferocious as rumored, with a green face and fangs. Taichang Qing Wang Wang also mustered up some courage, puffed up his chest, and asked Xu Xing loudly.
He couldn't just beg for mercy and beg for peace with Siming Mountain as soon as he came in.
In this case, even if he succeeds by luck and returns to the court, it will be a dead end.
"Lord Wang..."
"You are a good minister, but why do you follow mediocrity?"
Xu Xing ignored Wang Wang's shouting and asked, but changed the topic and belittled Emperor Chongming.
"this……"
Taichang Qing Wang Wang was immediately speechless.
He also believed in his heart that Emperor Chongming was a coward and a mediocre ruler. Otherwise, how could he send him as an envoy to beg for peace.
However, although he agreed with this statement in his heart, he did not dare to echo Xu Xing's words.
"Borrow your head."
"Give me a helping hand."
A smile appeared on Xu Xing's lips.
As soon as these words came out.
Taichang Qing Wang Wang was so frightened that he stepped back a few steps, "Xu Shijun, no no no..., King Xingtian, the two countries have been at war since ancient times. If you don't kill the envoy, I am an angel and an imperial envoy. You can't kill me."
He was so frightened by Xu Xing's words.
A successful mission turned into a Hongmen Banquet.
"I must have killed you."
"But that guy from Chongming will kill you..."
"Master Wang, have a good journey."
Xu Xing did not explain, and asked his personal guards to take Taichang Qing Wang Wang down and drive him out of the commander's tent.
When Taichang Qing Wang Wang left, he looked at Gui Yishou and said, "Spread rumors that Emperor Chongming ignored the country and wanted to make peace with Xu Ni. Taichang Qing Wang Wang is the evidence."
Ghost is one of the five tiger envoys of Wuhutang, who is responsible for intelligence between the government and the public.
"Yes, I honor your order."
The ghost took the order with one hand and walked out of the handsome tent.
"I congratulate Duke Ming..."
"With Wang Wang's head, Shenjing...it's not difficult!"
Gong Yangyi in the tent's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he understood the reason why Xu Xing laughed just now, so he raised his hands and congratulated him.
