Chapter 1657 What is the use of such a poisonous oath?
Even though he had been fighting with Chai Shao for many years, when these murderous words came out of Chai Shao's mouth, the soldiers around him and all the confidant generals still couldn't help but trembled, and then felt
A chill came out of my heart!
But that's all. No one opposed his general's words, and no one tried to dissuade him.
Nowadays, the world has been in chaos for many years, and they have fought countless battles with Chai Shao. In addition to fighting regular armies such as the Far East Army, they also pursued and killed rogue bandits, and they killed countless rogue bandits.
In fact, many times the bandits were refugees, including old people and children. Among the people they often hunted were women holding babies, but they also killed them, and none of them were spared.
Now they are just killing people in Chang'an City. Besides, in today's situation, we can't kill many people, only a few thousand people at most.
When an army often kills people, and after a mass killing of ordinary people, they will become numb if they do similar things again. What's more, soldiers have to obey orders after all. They know that they will not obey the general's order to kill at this time.
The common people in front of them are waiting for their death. No matter how much care the general shows to them on weekdays and how much he loves his soldiers as his sons, he will not show any hesitation or mercy at this time.
"Send the order! Charge the queue! Charge the queue! All swords unsheathed! Forward... open the way! Anyone who dares to block the way will be killed without mercy."
Military orders were flowing like a mountain, and soon Chai Shao's order was conveyed. The first-level generals shouted loudly, and the charge formation was quickly arranged.
However, after all, they are the people living in the same city and the people in the city they protect, so before the charge, many soldiers still shouted loudly: "Officers and soldiers move forward, everyone quickly gets out of the way. Anyone who blocks the way will be killed."
No forgiveness."
Because there were so many soldiers shouting loudly, many people nearby still heard it. In the eyes of the people these days, the army is actually no different from bandits, horse thieves, or even devils. Therefore, as long as someone hears such a cry
The people who were reminded tried their best to dodge and retreat to the side.
Soon, the front of the cavalry gave way to a space like a tide.
However, the speed of the cavalry charge is too fast, and the cavalry requires a lot of space when charging.
Chai Shao was obviously not satisfied with passing through this street at a slow speed.
For the people running around in the street, there is a lack of orderly guidance and there are too many pedestrians. Even if many people want to dodge, there is no room for dodge.
So, the next moment, tragedy occurred.
Chai Shao was not at the front. There was a vanguard in front of him. In fact, these people were the main ones who killed the people.
The leading general roared and rushed out no more than ten meters. Facing the crowd of people in front of him, his eyes were red and his expression was cold. There was not much hesitation on his face. He roared wildly and waved the blade fiercely.
Got out...
Chai Shao's troops were defeated by the Far Eastern Army. Even though he had been studying hard for the past six months and studying military training methods, there was still a big gap between his army and the Far Eastern Army. Chai Shao also knew this.
Because there are some things that are difficult to obtain no matter how hard he tries, and even more difficult to change and learn...
But when this cavalry, which was actually armed to the teeth, waved its sharp saber at the unarmed people, the outcome was already doomed!
This long street, which was no longer than a mile long, instantly turned into a Shura killing field!
As the cavalry charged, the sharp sabers cut into the soft flesh, miserable cries, pleas, angry roars, desperate shouts...
Soon, the shrill screams echoed throughout the entire street louder than before!
Pedestrians shouted wildly, retreated, ran away, crowded, and trampled on each other. More and more screams were heard.
The cavalry galloped, trampling on the flesh and blood with their iron hoofs, crushing a path of flesh and blood!
Once the charging formation spreads out, even if the cavalry in front can't bear it, it is already too late. Before the general gives the order to stop, he will not be able to stop unless he wants to be hit to death by his companions behind him.
If someone stood at a high altitude and looked down, this scene would be like a torrent of steel crashing into patches of flesh and blood!
The ground that was originally muddy due to rainy days gradually turned into blood all over the ground, as if the entire street was dyed an astonishing blood red color, and the armors on the cavalry also turned blood red...
The sabers were dripping with blood, and blood beads were flowing along the blades. The cavalrymen's faces were stained with blood, and there were fragments of flesh and blood on their bodies and armors. Even the horses' hooves were a bloody red!
The wails and screams from behind were endless. The hundreds of cavalry in the front had red eyes, and the expressions on their faces became more and more indifferent.
When they rushed through this short street of less than one mile, these hundreds of cavalrymen had their swords stained with blood, and everyone's face was full of distortion and madness! Every pair of eyes was full of
Bloodshot.
Not to mention the Cold War, even in the wars of the later gun age, many soldiers who experienced battlefields would suffer from extremely serious psychological and mental trauma, and needed post-war psychological treatment for relief.
Finally, under the brutal death threat of the cavalry charge, the crowd on the street behind them tried their best to escape. However, many people fell and were trampled to death during the escape process, causing a serious stampede.
Much less than those killed by cavalry.
After rushing out of the long street, the vision suddenly opened up, and the cavalry charging at the front finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chai Shao turned around and took a look. He roughly calculated that the number of dead people would not exceed 3,000, and he was secretly relieved.
tone.
Chai Shao looked at the direction of the palace from a distance, his eyes were cold, and his heart was not shaken at all. He pointed the long knife in his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army continues to charge towards the palace!"
"The whole army continues to charge towards the palace!"
"The whole army continues to charge towards the palace!"
………
………
With a "boom", the heavy door of the Tai Chi Hall in the imperial palace slowly closed, as if all the wind and rain outside were blocked.
Even if there is wind and rain in summer, it will not feel cold, and there are hot braziers and candles in the hall, so it is a bit stuffy.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall gradually solidified and cooled down.
Li Yuan felt that the atmosphere was almost complete, so he continued to start his performance, and said lightly: "Whoever among you has secretly colluded with the Far East Army, trying to step on both sides, I know it all here, so don't try to deny it.
Don’t even cry out that I, the king, have wronged you!”
After saying these words, the whole hall suddenly became silent, so quiet that one could almost hear people's breathing clearly.
"I also know that for many years, wealthy families have been placing bets everywhere! They all like to put their eggs in multiple baskets, but today is different from the past. Tonight, now, you must make a choice, otherwise you will die.
.”
When Li Yuan said this, his face finally showed clear murderous intent, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched and cold!
Suddenly, he clapped his hands lightly!
The side doors on both sides of the hall suddenly opened. Heavy footsteps were running quickly, and two teams of blue-armored guards swarmed in!
The swords and axes in the hands of each Janissary guard shone with a cold light!!
This move immediately shocked many people in the hall!
The King of Tang...is he going...to go on a killing spree?
No, Li Yuan couldn't go on a killing spree. He just wanted to use force to force the heads of these powerful families to make a choice, otherwise he would kill.
For the heads of these wealthy families, when faced with death, they would definitely choose to survive first.
As for whether they will regret it later and how Li Yuan restrains what they said today, it depends on whether Li Yuan has any special means.
However, at this time, after the two teams of blue-armored swordsmen and axemen rushed in, they immediately occupied positions from Li Yuan's steps down to both sides of the hall, which looked quite intimidating.
Dugu Changsu spoke again at this time. No matter what, one person always plays the red face and the other the white face.
"The most important thing for our family is the blood of our ancestors. In order to prevent you from regretting what you said today after leaving home, His Highness the King of Tang has asked people to prepare a table and burn incense. If you choose Wang Junlin, you can follow what you said before.
, leaving all the property behind, the clan members will leave Guanzhong on their own. If they choose to be loyal to His Highness the Prince of Tang, the family head must kneel down and swear an oath on the blood of his ancestors. If he violates this, his clan will have no descendants."
As soon as Dugu Changsu said these words, the faces of many heads of wealthy families at the scene changed slightly, and their hearts trembled. This oath was too poisonous.
Of course, no matter how poisonous the oath is, it will be of no use if the person swearing it does not believe such a thing.
For example, Wang Junlin would not believe such an oath, but in the thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture, oaths and oaths have played a considerable role. The ancients were quite reverent and humble in front of oaths.
For example, in history, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Chai family and became the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty because of his yellow robe. He asked his descendants to remember the oath when they took over the throne. One of them was: "Save the descendants of the Chai family and not increase the punishment for guilt."
The oath contains a serious warning: descendants must not break the oath, otherwise it will be unlucky and will be punished by heaven. Therefore, we can see that in history, the descendants of the Chai family always enjoy the dignity of the royal family.
For example, "Zuo Zhuan" records that Mrs. Jiang, wife of Duke Wu of Zheng, had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Duke Zhuang, so she always disliked her eldest son and preferred her younger son Gongshu Duan. Mrs. Jiang wanted to make her youngest son the monarch, but her husband Duke Wu
disagree.
When Duke Zhuang succeeded to the throne, the Jiang family focused on helping their youngest son to seek fiefdom, and eventually developed a conspiracy with Gong Shu Duan to overthrow Duke Zhuang. After Duke Zhuang defeated Gong Shu Duan, he placed his mother in the city.
Ying, and made a solemn oath in person: "If you are not as good as Huangquan, we will never meet again."
The ancients took their oaths very seriously. How could the king of a country go back on his word? Duke Zhuang missed his mother but was unwilling to break his oath, so he had a tall earthen platform built. When he missed his mother, he climbed up the platform and looked towards the city. Later, people
This rammed earth platform is called "Wangmu Platform".
In addition, in ancient times, people could not stand upright without trust, and only by focusing on trustworthiness can a country be established and safe. The king, as a role model for all people, has a great guiding role in social fashion. If you are not careful, the consequences will be immeasurable.
Therefore, even the king of a country dare not break his oath for fear of affecting his own prestige, the education of the people, being ridiculed by future generations, and being punished by the gods.
And aristocratic families are giants, not much worse than the kings of a country. They also value their oaths very much, especially when the oaths are very vicious.
Therefore, Li Yuan and Dugu Changsu made a poisonous oath to cut off their descendants through the ancestral bloodline that the family valued most.
It has to be said that this poisonous oath or this approach is very binding on what the heads of the powerful families say today.
However, Li Jing, standing behind Li Jiancheng, seemed to have a slight tug on the corner of his mouth.
He is...laughing.
And there is ridicule.
Li Jing certainly knew that this poisonous oath was very binding on the wealthy family, but that was under the premise that they could guarantee the existence of the wealthy family.
But when the aristocratic family is already facing the disaster of annihilation, these oaths mean nothing.
So, that is to say, under certain circumstances, this kind of poisonous oath is nothing but nonsense.
After all, since ancient times, the agreement between the two countries can be broken at any time. Even when the American president visited our country and signed a business cooperation worth hundreds of billions as the president, his words immediately after returning to China did not count, let alone
in ancient times.

Outside the gate of the imperial city, martial law has begun in the square.
The riots and screams that appeared on the long street were quite loud. The news had already reached here, and the imperial guards in the palace had closed the gate of the imperial city.
Therefore, the square in front of the huge palace was empty, but the walls of the imperial city were filled with Forbidden Army soldiers loyal to Li Yuan.
At this moment, three people and three cavalrymen walked slowly towards the Imperial City Gate from Zhuque Street.
The three knights all wore black raincoats and hats to protect them from the rain.
One in front and two in the back, the one in the front wears silver armor under the raincoat, and the two in the back wear black clothes under the raincoat, with long swords hanging on their waistbands.
The three horses were not very fast and slowly crossed the square, leaving only a mark of horseshoes in the rain behind them.
Because there were only three cavalry, and they were not charging over, the Imperial Guard soldiers above the imperial city were vigilant, but they did not act as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Therefore, until the three cavalrymen arrived at the main gate of the imperial city and looked at the vigilant Forbidden Army soldiers above and below the city, there was no reaction from the top of the city.
"Who is coming?" It wasn't until the three cavalry arrived in front of the imperial city gate that a general on the top of the city shouted loudly.
The leading knight slowly took off the bamboo hat used to protect him from the rain, revealing a young man's face that looked like a knife, with deep and sharp eyes.
"Second... Young Master." The general on the top of the city took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief. His Royal Highness Prince Tang organized a celebration banquet tonight in the palace. This Second Young Master is the protagonist, but I don't know why.
arrive.
"He Mazi, open the door." Looking at the general at the city gate, Li Shimin smiled softly. The smile on his face was bright and endearing.
