Lin Shaoyu truly felt the meaning of the word "Qi Shu".
The strength of the empire was exhausted, and Lin Shaoyu really felt that the whole world was helping him. Fighting all the way from Youzhou to Chang'an, he encountered almost no challenges. Even breaking through Chang'an, the largest city in the world, was not a challenge.
That's because Tianming has abandoned the empire, but after conquering Chang'an, Tianming also abandoned the Righteous Cult.
In the battle of Chang'an City, the Righteous Sect lost too many men. Afterwards, Guo Fanren's body was found in the palace, and the little Taoist priest disappeared mysteriously. As for where he went, no one actually knows. It is very likely that he also died in
In the melee.
After breaking through Chang'an City, the Righteous Sect burned, killed, and looted in the city. The crimes they committed were even worse than the Rong people massacred the city. Lin Shaoyu didn't want to take care of this kind of thing, but he couldn't.
Most of the members of the Righteous Cult are from the lowest level of the empire. They work all day long in exchange for meager food and clothing. Subconsciously, they feel that the whole world owes them.
Once they have the chance, they will desperately seek compensation.
The rich man's treasury was smashed open, women were raped in dark rooms, and young children were killed in the long streets. During the days when the Righteous Cult occupied Chang'an City, Chang'an became a purgatory.
At the same time, the various princes who originally chose to sit back and watch suddenly became agitated after the Justice Cult attacked Chang'an City. The princes from all walks of life joined forces to attack the Justice Cult. Under this offensive, the Justice Cult could not survive even ten days.
.Lin Shaoyu took the remaining men of the Righteous Cult and escaped from the north gate, intending to escape back to the Youzhou base camp.
After Lin Shaoyu killed Emperor Ming, the empire fell into chaos. All the princes in the world were as excited as if they had been given blood.
A country cannot live without a king for a day. In fact, an empire does not have no emperor, but has many emperors.
During this period of time, too many people proclaimed themselves emperors. They occupied remote rural areas and had probably thousands of people under their command, so they proclaimed themselves emperors. The exact number is unknown, but there were at least dozens of them.
They are proclaimed emperor today, but may be destroyed tomorrow. In the last moments of their lives, they have passed the emperor's addiction.
If you really enjoy it, you will die.
After all, these people are the embers of the fire of troubled times rising into the sky, and the fire will be extinguished when the wind blows. However, the truly smart people understand the principle of keeping their hair low and making a fortune. Even if they want to be emperor, they have to
Find a legitimate reason.
Yangzhou Mu Li Xing came up with the reason to avenge the emperor's brother, and gathered a group of followers under his command.
Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou... there are one hundred and eight cities in the thirteen states of the empire. The princes from all walks of life are separatist and wars are rising all over the world.
The most complicated situation is in the area near Chang'an. Chang'an has been at the foot of the emperor since ancient times. There are a large number of plutocrats, famous families, and aristocratic families here. In this troubled time, they showed their huge family heritage, recruited troops, and accumulated power. Emperor Ming left behind
The princes became the meat and potatoes of these people.
Li Letian escaped from Chang'an under the escort of General Yuchili, and later settled in Bingzhou. After the Righteous Cult was driven away, they returned to Chang'an, holding the Emperor's Sword, to inherit the throne. Yuchili wanted to get the support of the nobles. However,
Regarding Li Letian, who was holding the Emperor's Sword, everyone said we would discuss it again, discuss it again...
Then, rumors about Li Letian began to spread near Chang'an City. They said that he was unable to defend the city and was a loser. He was to blame for the breach of Chang'an City. He was even involved in the death of Emperor Ming. Why didn't he know how to protect him?
Dear Emperor Ming, why did he let the rebels of the Righteous Sect break Chang'an City?
People's grievances always have to be vented, and in a short period of time, Li Letian's reputation spread to the streets.
It was under this circumstance that Li Xingzai rushed to Chang'an City. At this time, there were no less than seven people in Chang'an City who coveted the dragon chair.
…
Liangzhou, Toad City.
"On this important day today, everyone gathers here for our common ideal. I hope that today, everyone will show up with energy and courage, uphold the spirit of friendship first, competition second, pursue higher and faster,
Stronger..."
Cheng Dalei stood on the general stage, eloquent, and the people under the general stage were crowded. Today, Toad City is very lively, with gongs and drums noisy, firecrackers blasting, and civilians outside the city also pouring into the city. Toad City is very busy these days.
Crowds of people.
The world is in chaos, and swords and weapons are everywhere in the empire's 90,000-mile territory. With everyone fighting in full swing, Cheng Dalei presided over the first martial arts tournament in Toad City.
It is said to be a martial arts competition, but this competition is not just about martial arts competitions in the ring. The entire competition has more than twenty events. Including: riding, archery, swimming, rowing, go, arithmetic, etc., and even
Plowing fields. Compare who plows the most fields per unit time.
Cheng Dalei's slogan is that everyone participates and everyone gets a prize. Even if you only do somersaults well, you may get the first place in somersaults.
This winter has not yet passed, and it is still a time of leisure for farming. The reason why Cheng Dalei mobilized his troops and held this martial arts competition with great fanfare was not without purpose.
Nowadays, there are wars everywhere in the empire. If you beat me today, I will fight again tomorrow. The situation in Chang'an City is even more serious. Under such circumstances, everyone in Toad City wants to fight.
Not to mention other people, even Cheng Dalei himself was turning over and over in the dead of night, with his heart racing.
All the heroes in the world are vying for the throne, but any ambitious man would just like to be a bystander.
However, Cheng Dalei clearly understands that the current situation is not as good as silence. Now is just the initial stage of troubled times. The small fish eats the shrimps, and the shrimps eat the sludge. In the end, the small fishes become big fishes, and then the fish leaps over the dragon's gate.
Shedding its shell and transforming into a dragon.
This deer race is a zero-sum game. The winner takes everything and the loser throws away everything, including life.
Cheng Dalei worked hard to raise these 30,000 soldiers in Toad City. If these 30,000 soldiers were thrown into this game, they would probably not be able to cause a splash. Besides, Cheng Dalei was not willing to take other people's lives to fulfill his own ambitions.
Therefore, Cheng Dalei organized this martial arts competition and it became a rage in Toad City.
In the end, Fan Lihua won first place in riding, Liu Zhi won first place in embroidery, Bai Yuanfei won first place in racing, and Qin Man won first place in ring competition. What Cheng Dalei didn't expect was that Li Waner actually defeated He Shen and won first place in arithmetic.
Cheng Dalei awarded prizes to the top three in each event. It must be said that Cheng Dalei's approach was quite effective. Everyone was very excited and focused on the competition, forgetting other things for the time being. This paragraph
Every day, everyone in Toad City was discussing the competition.
However, Cheng Dalei could extinguish the passion of others, but he could not extinguish the fire in his own heart.
Looking to the southeast, Chang'an is in the southeast.
He also wanted to go to Chang'an and kill 100,000 horses.
