Whether they are treacherous ministers or loyal ministers, they first have a common identity called officials. What is an official? Officials are the spokespersons of the people in the world, although this spokesperson is not chosen by himself, but is learned through reading.
Even if a traitor becomes a traitor again, he must speak for the people, or for the dynasty, at certain times. Only in this way can his words and deeds be consistent with his status as an official.
Many times we think that people like traitors just don’t do anything and spend all their time plotting to frame Zhongliang or line their own pockets. In fact, this is not the case. Because of their official status, they are destined to devote most of their time and energy to
Go to your own responsibilities. Use only a small part of your energy to frame and commit corruption!
If a traitorous minister is not even qualified for his own position, that person is not called a traitorous minister, but a mediocre official. If his boss does not have any special hobbies, such a mediocre official will not be able to hold the official position for a few years anyway.
All treacherous ministers are basically tycoons with outstanding knowledge. No matter where they are thrown, such people are always heroes among people.
A traitor is a smart person who doesn't use his mind for the right purpose.
Li Chang is somewhere between the two. He is not a purely treacherous minister, and certainly not a loyal minister. His interests lie in his family, not in the country.
When there is a conflict of interests between the family and the country, he must abandon the country and save the family. When the interests of the family and the country are highly unified, he is a rare official. He is loyal to his ancestors, but not
Willing to sacrifice his life and blood for the entire Chinese clan.
For such people, Yun Zheng actually has an admiring attitude. Such a true villain with bad personal ethics seems to be more likable than those hypocrites. At least he lives a very real life.
Everyone is selfish from the bottom of their heart. This is nothing to argue with. Li Chang just made a small mistake of putting the interests of some people above others.
We make mistakes like this every day. From the bun seller to the emperor, no one is clean. Therefore, it is natural for Li Chang to speak impassionedly and selfishly in front of Yun Zheng.
Of course Yun Zheng will not criticize Li Chang, nor is he qualified to do so. At least this guy has adopted a little baby girl. It can be expected that this little baby girl will have a perfect life in the future. Li Chang will definitely
He took care of this little baby girl with more love than his own biological child, because for Li Chang, it was too rare to have his conscience discovered, and it was much more difficult than giving birth to a child.
Li Qing, who had had the same experience, felt that the sky was falling. His conscience was torn apart by the Eight Bull Crossbow, and his body was broken into two parts. No matter how hard Li Qing tried to bridge it, he could not
To no avail, the woman fell to the ground like that, half of her body was in Li Qing's arms, and the other half fell on the sand, with only her internal organs entangled together...
The sudden attack continued. The Song army that launched the sudden attack poured out of the bushes on both sides like locusts. Before they appeared, gunpowder bombs had already been raging crazily. The forwards of the Poxi army were like a group of people being doused with boiling water.
The ants that passed by were dead and injured.
If that woman hadn't pushed Li Qing off the camel with all her efforts, it would have been Li Qing who died under the Eight Ox Crossbow...
Zhong E risked all his courage to launch a fatal blow, which really gave the marching Xixia people a head-on blow.
According to the combat principles of the Song Army, all Song troops sent the most intense firepower to the battlefield at the first time. Eight-oxen crossbows, ballistae, gunpowder bombs, incendiary bombs, and powerful crossbows, every weapon was working like crazy. , the only idea is to inflict the most painful harm to the Xixia people at the first time, and quickly defeat the Xixia people's courage to resist.
The Ba Niu crossbow and ballistae that Li Qing relied heavily on were almost destroyed by the Song army's firearms at the first opportunity. The battlefield was littered with fragments of long-range weapons that Li Qing spent a lot of money to obtain.
Li Qing's efforts were in vain. The woman's eyes were already covered with a layer of dust, and her life had disappeared for a long time. To Li Qing, the lifeless body was just a pile of rotting flesh.
He threw away the woman's body, stood up with a roar, drew out his long knife, roared and launched a countercharge towards the rolling Song army.
This was Li Qing's first reaction after the Poxi Army was attacked. The flag bearer who had been standing behind him in despair and watched the Song Army coming over shook his head when he saw the general starting to charge. Hold Li Qing's banner and follow the charge.
The remaining Xixia people were inspired by the general's actions and went crazy like wild beasts. They howled and followed Li Qing to counterattack the Song army.
The shield in Li Qing's hand was already filled with crossbow arrows, and there was even a crossbow arrow stuck in his left shoulder, but he didn't seem to care very much. There was no expression in his eyes, which were as cold as two grains of ice. The body was avoiding, rolling, and attacking according to the instinct of a warrior, but there was no intention of retreating.
The shield knocked over a Song soldier who was rushing towards him, and he dodged the spear that was stabbing him. The sword struck the Song soldier's neck, but did not cut off his head. Li Qing would not do anything to waste his energy, just kill people. , there is no need to chop off the head as well.
Holding the spear under his ribs, he turned around and swept across, opening the throat of another Song soldier. The long knife turned into lightning and stabbed into the chest of a Song soldier holding a crossbow. At this time, the spear was held in his hand. He charged forward with his thrusting figure.
He kicked away a smoldering gunpowder bomb, and a Song soldier was stuck on the tip of the spear. The Song soldier was pushed back by the huge force from the spear. It was not until the spear penetrated his body that he knelt down on the ground and was trapped. Li Qing's spear was captured.
A thick crossbow whistled from a distance. Li Qing had an unforgettable understanding of this sound. He took a step to avoid the crossbow, abandoned the spear in his hand, and picked up a flail from the corpse. , the barbed armored elbow hit a Song soldier heavily in the face.
The iron ball in front of the flail hit the human body with a screaming sound, making a tooth-searing sound. The Song Army who was hit by the flail felt as if he had been bombarded by a siege ram. His chest collapsed, and his blood was shattered alive. The entrails spurted out of the mouth together.
A chain hammer flew over silently from the left. Li Qing, who had no time to turn around, could only turn his body slightly. The chain hammer hit his shoulder, smashing the armored beast head on the shoulder. , Li Qing groaned, and two locks of black blood flowed from his nostrils.
Turning his head and looking fiercely at the Song Army who made a sudden plot, the Song Army who succeeded in the surprise attack saw Li Qing looking at him and turned around and left without even thinking. This Xixia warrior was already a turtle in the urn, and there was no need for him to continue taking risks.
To attack, you only need to lead him to a place where his comrades are most numerous, and he will naturally die under random arrows.
Li Qing's flag-bearer has lost an arm, and he doesn't know where the flag has gone, but he is holding a war horse in his hand. At this time, the Xixia people lost the opportunity because of the inaction of the coach, and are now fighting on their own.
In order to fight, the collapse of Poxi's army was right in front of them. The flag bearer saw it and was anxious in his heart. With the help of his companions, he came to Li Qing's side, gave the reins to Li Qing and shouted: "General, hurry up!"
Li Qing glanced at the dying flag bearer indifferently, grabbed the reins and climbed onto his horse, then took an upright spear from the corpse with his backhand, and prepared to continue chasing the Song army who injured him.
The flagman stabbed the dagger in his hand on the horse's butt. Li Qing, who had no time to adjust his direction, was carried by the horse and fled in a panic. No matter how hard he tried to twist the horse's head in the right direction, Li Qing would
The frantic war horse still turned its head and instinctively ran towards the deserted place.
Zhong E on Bai Tu Tai ignored the Xixia people who were fleeing in all directions. Without food and fodder, those people simply had no capital to continue living.
What he cared about was the huge group of slaves being escorted behind the Poxi Army. The purpose of this battle itself was to prevent the Xixia people from continuing to transport Liao slaves to the northwest.
Since the combat objective has been achieved, a few deserters are not a big concern.
When he thought that Yanzi City in Zhangbei had been captured by him in a surprise attack, Zhong E's heart was filled with pride. Who said that the Western Army was not as good as the Western Army in Beijing? (To be continued)
