Chapter 213 Stirring up the storm (Part 2)
After beating away these lackeys, the corrupt officials who were the chief culprits could not be forgiven. They were dragged tremblingly to the street by the soldiers and announced their crimes in front of the people. Each one of them was carefully scrutinized.
Investigation and evidence collection must be clear and clear.
Then, according to the seriousness of the crime, those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be directly beheaded, and their property will be distributed to the people; those who have committed serious crimes but do not deserve death will be sentenced to life imprisonment, their property will be confiscated, and half of their property will be confiscated and distributed to the people.
Maidservants; those who commit relatively minor crimes will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and ten years of hard labor. Half of their property will be confiscated. They will first serve as slaves with the army and civilians. After the war is won, they will be arranged to work as miners, horsemen, coolies, etc. as appropriate.
Such actions naturally won the support of the people, and a vigorous campaign against corrupt officials began. As the troops marched, more and more people came to express condolences and even help the Song army stationed and send food. Because they all knew that this was
A benevolent and righteous army. After the county government was destroyed and the officials were tried, the Shu garrison naturally could not ignore it, so the nearby 30,000 garrison finally arrived a few days later. However, the Song State had cultivators accompanying the army, so they could detect the enemy thousands of miles away.
The movement of the army then informed the people and the Song army of the approaching army.
After finally living a good life, these soldiers and ruffians came to destroy it. The angry people gathered together in excitement and spontaneously, and together with the Song army, they waited for the arrival of the Hou Shu army at a certain road leading to the local area. So after the Hou Shu army arrived,
What greeted them was the hateful eyes of the common people, the numerous swords and guns, and the murderous 100,000-strong Song army.
After weighing the strengths of both sides, the general of the Shu Army sadly discovered that both the geographical location and the people's people had been occupied by the other side. As for the weather, both sides had half of it. And look at the other side's neat team, distinctive weapons and armor;
Looking at the rusty and peeling weapons and armor of his own team, he couldn't help but feel despair. The disparity in strength was too great. He secretly cursed the person who sent him the message. The other party only had some martial arts people. They were simply a group of elites, and they were nearly ten.
The Song Dynasty's army, which has been famous all over the world for many years, would suffer heavy losses if they really fought, and they would definitely lose the battle.
He had heard that in addition to the powerful army, there were also a large number of immortal masters in the Song Dynasty army! Those were immortals who could soar into the clouds, ride on the mist, lower thunder and spit out fire. How could he, a little general, be able to deal with it? He only knew the current affairs.
A hero is a hero who does not suffer immediate losses, keeps green hills, and is not afraid of running out of firewood... After making countless excuses for himself in his heart, this general who commanded the army finally achieved the goal of not reducing his troops in this battle.
Huge victory, of course, this is the statistics he compiled after surrendering.
As for the surrendered soldiers, they were too numerous to be guarded, so they just collected their armor and weapons and let them go. Seeing that even the army was no match for the Song army, the local people cheered and celebrated the good life they could expect in the future.
In Shu, a land with many mountains and hills, inconvenient transportation is still a bottleneck for cultural and economic development. In order to help the common people who support them, the Song army sent another type of soldiers. They were tall and powerful and could chop down trees, move rocks, and build buildings.
There are about 10,000 such soldiers. They help the people build new homes and lay roads. Even if they encounter some natural obstacles such as huge rocks and trees, relatively low-level cultivators will come to help move them away or blow them up.
destroy.
After three days of busy work, the village and town had a completely new look. The houses were made of bluestone and the roads were paved with cobblestones. Everyone held their heads high and were full of confidence. Through the exchanges with the soldiers, they learned about the changes in China today and knew that the world would soon be unified and there would be good days.
After that, both people and things exuded a brand-new temperament. And after doing all this, Song Jun started again.
In this way, the Song Army would repeat this kind of thing every time they went to any place. Everyone in their team seemed to be all-rounders. In addition to strong combat power, some could read books, some could build roads and houses, and some could hear cases.
There is not a single simple soldier in the entire army of 100,000. This is why Zhao Kuangyin adopted Yunlong's current military management ideas and combined the composition and composition of later generations' armies with today's military training methods. After many years of selecting talents from among millions of troops,
The best of these 100,000 elites were selected.
If Li Jun, the inner sect elder of Shushan, had seen the differences between these soldiers, he would probably be able to understand why the Song State spent a lot of money to get each of them a magical talisman.
The Song army paved roads in the mountains, built bridges over water, and would help and publicize them when they saw people. Two months later, the Song army's footprints had covered less than half of Sichuan and Sichuan, and they brought
The news and practices have also spread throughout Hou Shu. The people of Li cheered and looked forward to the arrival of such a benevolent and righteous army soon; corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but everyone in the court was in danger, and the troops sent were defeated time and time again.
Active surrender meant being defeated with one blow, and there were even incidents where the entire army collapsed under sudden heavy rains and flash floods. The court was in a precarious situation and had to turn to their biggest backer - the Shushan Sect.
The Taiqing Hall of Mount Emei, the gate of the Shushan sect, frowned slightly toward Tiannan, looking at a huge floating water mirror in front of him. This water mirror was five feet in diameter, and its edges reflected the sunlight and shone with colorful light. The surface was as smooth as a mirror, showing pictures one after another.
The scene of the event was exactly what the Song Dynasty team was doing in Houshu. Next to him was Li Jun, whose brows were furrowed and his face turned black with anger. At this time, his brows were almost twisted into a "Chuan". He was holding a sword in his left hand and holding a captive in his right hand.
He was wearing a beard but he held it very tightly, almost pulling off the well-maintained beard.
"Is this the 'ordinary' and 'prodigal' Song Jun you call?" Xiang Tiannan looked at the scene in the crystal for another quarter of an hour, then turned to look at Li Jun and asked expressionlessly.
"This...Senior brother, I really didn't expect these ordinary soldiers to do this. How could they come to fight Hou Shu? If this continues, they may want to overthrow me, Hou Shu! Senior brother, I beg you to come out of seclusion immediately.
An elder brought six Michen banners that can form a simple 'Liangyi Dust Formation' to the Song Army camp to ask Taiyan and others to order their subordinates to stop their actions! If not..." Li Jun's expression changed.
Hei Zhuanhong said angrily but was interrupted by Xiang Tiannan before he could finish speaking.
"Otherwise, what? Start a war? You can think of it!" Xiang Tiannan was so angry that his beard floated up. He raised his sword eyebrows and glanced at Li Jun, who was so impassioned just now. He suddenly felt as if he had been cast down.
He couldn't speak anymore. Only the beads of sweat that quickly appeared on his forehead showed the nervousness in his heart. For some reason, he was also a master in the Return to Void Stage, but he was in awe of this master brother who possessed Xiang Tiannan Shen's life-killing energy.
, the aura of being arrogant to all things was as majestic and powerful as those immortal elders in his memory, which made him instinctively fearful.
"Is the headmaster brother already about to break through to the heavenly realm? Otherwise, how could he have such a terrifying aura?" Li Jun was still thinking in his mind while sweating.
"Was the fight in Houshu caused by the Song army? No, but the people of Houshu! Who let these Song troops in? It's our Shushan faction! Are they currently infringing on our fundamental interests in Shushan?" No! Those
Don't corrupt officials deserve to die for what they do? Damn it! Even if we send people to hold the 'Michen Flag' to form the 'Liang Yi Mochen Array', before the injuries of several elders are healed, just because we don't have the 'Hunyuan Qi Taiqing'
Can the simple "Liang Yi Chen Formation" suppressed by the magic talisman "Liang Yi Mote Formation Diagram" guarantee victory against the opponent's ten masters in the Void Return Stage? No! Even if they win the sects behind them, there are still Song Dynasty who are in charge
Are the Human Emperor and You Longzi in Guodu City something we can easily offend? No! Have you ever thought about these relationships?" Six consecutive self-questions and answers and the last rhetorical question came from Xiang Tiannan's mouth like thunder.
The shock made Li Jun's ears rumble and he was at a loss.
"Remember, if the name is not right, then the words will not be right. If the words are not right, the momentum will be lost. Our right way is not to use the means to achieve the goal of the devil, but to be reasonable! Without the momentum of the right name, even if the strength is stronger than the opponent, we cannot convince the crowd. I have no way.
Absolute chance of winning!" Xiang Tiannan took a breath and looked at Li Jun, who was suppressed by his sudden burst of momentum. He slowly regained his explosive momentum and said to him in a softer tone:
"Junior brother, as an elder of the inner sect, you usually focus on cultivation and rarely interact with others. You don't understand these changes in people's hearts and worldly disputes, and you don't see them thoroughly enough. It's understandable that you made some mistakes. I don't blame you. After all, you made some mistakes.
Our mistakes do not endanger our fundamental interests. Those secular dynasties and common people are just playthings and tools of our cultivation sect. We are aloof gods in their eyes. Only by worshiping them wholeheartedly can they be respected by us in a certain place.
When you are in a good mood, you will be given some life-extending elixirs, low-level exercises, and magic weapons. So don't take their emotions too seriously because it won't have much impact on us." Xiang Tiannan said slowly.
.
It's true that in his eyes, the change of dynasties in the human world and the lives and deaths of people do not have much impact on him. He even wishes to leave the world of mortals forever so as not to be contaminated by unexplainable cause and effect and delay his cultivation. The only things that mortals can enshrine are some low-level genius treasures and qi training.
Apart from ores, there is only the power of faith that is needed by gods such as land and mountain gods. Those truly precious geniuses, treasures, magical weapons and immortal weapons are simply not within the reach of mortals. It is necessary to determine the level of attention. His need for mortals is as small as almost
I didn’t, so naturally I didn’t care much about it, which is normal.
"Contrary to them, what we really need to pay attention to are the large-scale cultivation forces and top powerhouses such as Kunlun, Kongtong, Nanhai, Potala Palace, the Five Directions Demon Sect, and even top sects such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism Maoshan, Tianshi Taoism
and other large sects; there are also peak return masters like You Longzi. They have the ability to threaten our fundamental interests, so we must be cautious when facing them. Unless we have no choice, we must not start the war lightly unless we are already strong enough.
Overpowering the crowd or the other party is our enemy." Xiang Tiannan explained to Li Jun carefully.
"The other party is also assisted by the Innate Human Emperor, who has his own heavenly protection. If we go against them, we will only lose our luck and be worthless. This is why I agreed to the opponent's battle. It is really that the opponent has grasped the general trend and cannot fight against them.
." Xiang Tiannan sighed helplessly.
"Brother, I understand. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke and overthrow the Hou Shu court, we can't take the initiative to take action against them. Otherwise, it will be against the general trend and the name is not justified." Li Jun is also a smart man, otherwise he would not be able to practice to the fullest extent.
The virtual realm is just that the reflection on other aspects of being obsessed with cultivation is relatively poor. After some advice from Xiang Tiannan, Ma understood most of the meaning after thinking about it for a while.
"Yes, that's right. After all, they are just passing by in the name of this time. No matter how noisy they are, as long as they don't want to have a direct conflict with us, they can only calm down in the end. After all, our Shushan sect is the Taiqing Taoist tradition, one of the top sects in the Middle-earth China.
You are not a vegetarian!" As he said this, Xiang Tiannan stood up proudly and even Li Jun couldn't help but look proud. This is the glory of the sect and their glory.
"In my opinion, what they did is just to continue such activities to expand their influence on the familiar terrain and establish a good image among the people of Shu to prepare for future occupation. This is also the reason why they did not invade any cultivation sect in Shu.
After all, this event is focused on mortals and focuses on the national interests of mortals. These cultivators may really be doing what they said to deal with the southern demon sect." Xiang Tiannan continued.
"Then what should we do, senior brother?" Li Jun's expression became much calmer and even his temperament seemed to have changed just now and became more restrained, no longer as sharp and menacing as a sword.
"Just wait and see what happens. As long as they don't target the entire Later Shu court and don't intrude on the various sects in Shu, we can just leave them alone and let them do whatever they want. Of course, we can't stay in Shu for more than a year."
"I understand, senior brother. From today on, I will closely monitor the Song Army's movements to prevent them from infringing on our fundamental interests in Shushan." Li Jun nodded. Then he asked softly: "Senior brother, you had that momentum just now.
It’s so amazing. Are you going to have a breakthrough?”
Xiang Tiannan smiled and shook his head, "Haha, it's still early. It's a big step from returning to immortality to becoming an immortal. It is the most important transformation for a cultivator. How can it be so easy to break through? I just made a breakthrough in it some time ago.
During the battle with the Southern Demon Cult, I gained some insights into the control of the 'Dust Array of Life and Death, Darkness and Disillusionment', so my realm has improved a bit but has not reached a breakthrough level." Although he said this, it can be seen from his smiling face.
It can be seen that he is very happy to have such a gain. After all, the higher the cultivation level, the slower the improvement. Such a small breakthrough can save him at least a hundred years of enlightenment.
"Oh! Congratulations, senior brother. It seems that senior brother has made rapid progress in his cultivation and can look forward to the path to immortality." Li Jun couldn't help but be happy for him after hearing Dao Xiang Tiannan's answer that he was not good enough to break through but had made progress.
"The road of spiritual practice is long and bumpy, so you and I should encourage each other. Okay, go and do your work. I'll meditate here for a while." Xiang Tiannan waved his hand and said.
"Good farewell, senior brother." Li Jun raised his hands without hesitation and flew towards his cave with his sword. Xiang Tiannan knew that he had returned to the cave to use a spell similar to the "Water Mirror Technique" to monitor the Song army.
With a wry smile, he shook his head and faced the breeze with strong aura blowing from the mountain gate to the south, closing his eyes and meditating. As a junior brother, he was obsessed with cultivation and rarely dealt with such matters. If it weren't for the other outer sect elders who were working with him,
If he was injured in the battle in the Southern Demon Cult and is currently in seclusion, there is nothing he could do to force him to deal with external affairs. Sure enough, he made a mess the first time. Fortunately, nothing major happened, and look at him
I seem to have understood the changes just now, and I feel I can feel more at ease in the future.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while and suddenly opened his eyes. Two balls of foot-long light shot out from it. "It's a pity that the Long-Eyebrow Patriarch was injured in the battle with the old lunatic Yu Mo Ancestor. Even the purple and green swords were damaged and needed to be repaired. Otherwise, even if
Zhang Sixie and the others had dozens of magic talismans made by the ancient demon gods at their disposal, but they would definitely not let their top combat power retreat. In the end, they ended up in a lose-lose situation. The mountain was sealed behind closed doors for a period of time? It seems that what Grandmaster Changmei said
It is true that three elders of the Southern Demon Sect were killed by You Longzi and their strength was greatly reduced. Otherwise, the Demon Sect, which has always been the principal, would not have done such a thing.
Hengheng, do you think Fengshan Youlongzi will spare you lightly? They have already sent people to attack the country you support. Are you willing to be a coward or go to war angrily? I am looking forward to it. The Demon Cult Henghe this
The Shushan sect, a group of evil heretics, will one day eradicate all of you from the human world and bring peace to the world!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
Time flies and no outsiders disturb the Song army. Sure enough, the Song army did not follow the strategy of "destroying Guo by false means" to overthrow Hou Shu. Instead, they carried out the "Long March" for half a year with great vigor and enthusiasm. With the people's retention, they bid farewell to the fear of the Hou Shu court.
He left Hou Shu with hatred and arrived at Hou Chu.
(I wrote so much that I almost wanted to change the name to "Long March", but then I thought it was too ridiculous and kept it as it was o(n_n)o~.)
