Astral Apostle - Chapter 278
[Two hundred and sixty-four separate Huyang]
Next to the official road, in the open-air tea shop.
Many passers-by stopped here, drinking tea and chatting.
The topic mentioned, naturally, cannot escape the recent changes in the current situation, which is precisely the failure of the imperial court to Zheng Huyang.
“Then Chen Feng raised a rebel flag and gathered a million people in Huyang. It’s really a giant bandit that has not been seen in a century. Now that the officers and soldiers have been repelled, I don’t know what will happen.”
“Since he is a rebel, he will probably sweep the world. Again and again, the world is going to be in chaos.”
“Alas, the imperial conquest was fruitless, and Huyang was also lost, and now that Chen Feng is full of wings, I think the imperial court is more difficult to control.
” What a good thing.”
“Be careful, be careful!”
Everyone talked to each other.
This is located in the northern part of the Central Plains. The Huyang Rebellion has not spread here. Although everyone has a solemn tone, they are worried about the future, but they are not panicked.
Now that Chen Feng’s name has been linked to the word “anti-thief”, the people outside of Huyang dare not stand up for Chen Feng, and most of the conversations are restrained, and most of them stand cautiously in the court’s position.
People from all over the world have mixed feelings towards Chen Feng. They admire this person’s actions of eliminating evil and punishing the powerful and powerful, but they also feel that this person has caused chaos in the world.
The
rich people hate it, those who can afford food and clothing are in awe, and occasionally complain, only those at the bottom have hardcore support. Different people have different opinions, but except for the people of Huyang Most people want to stay away.
In the corner of the tea shop, there were two young people sitting, with black and white robes, both of whom were heroic, but the temperament between their brows was different.
The young man in white is named Wei Zhong, with a warm temperament.
The young man in black was called Jiang Di, with sharp eyebrows.
The two teachers went out of the same door, and they were called brothers and sisters. They have been down the mountain for many days.
Listening to the chatter of others, Jiang Di’s eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth twitched:
“This Chen Feng is known as killing evil for the people and acting for the heavens. Senior brother, what do you think of this person?”
Wei Zhong took a sip of the tea and said softly, “Junior brother wants to ask, is this person worth serving?”
Jiang Di hehe Yi smiled: “Yes, this person calls himself a civil uprising, which is probably just the appetite of the senior brother, and he is the number one expert in the world today, and he may be able to make a career.”
Hearing this, Wei Zhong pondered for a while, then shook his head:
” This man declared at the time of his uprising that he was ‘to deceive the people by relying on the sky, be a prince, make up for the equality of the people, and punish the powerful and powerful’. Although he was quite arrogant, it was more like a rise from the people’s grievances, not a long-term solution to improve the people’s livelihood
. If you use it for a while, you can use it to swept the world, but if you work hard, you will fail in two and three will be exhausted, and the middle way
will
be unsustainable.
, after Chen Feng’s power is big, there will be people under his command who are corrupt, greedy for utilitarianism, self-serving, and also above the people. How can we talk about peace at that time? So in my opinion, this Chen Fengyong is brave, but in fact it can only be aroused. Troubled times cause temporary disasters, and in the end, it may be difficult to achieve anything.”
After Jiang Di heard this,
he smiled softly: “What my brother sees is quite consistent with me, and it can only hold people’s hearts for a while, and it will not last long.”
Wei Zhong frowned .
One pick: “Isn’t Junior Brother also optimistic about Chen Feng?”
Jiang Di curled his lips and commented casually: “This Chen Feng has a sloppy habit, is too violent, relies on his own force, cuts himself off from a powerful family, does not leave a way out, and is not a hero. , is not worthy of serving. The only people who are willing to defect to him are the sloppy poor, and there will be no scholars from aristocratic families. How can they compete for dominance in the world? It is a chance to overthrow the imperial court. In the end, it will only be a wedding dress for others.”
Wei Zhong pursed his lips and shook his head silently.
Although they are not optimistic about Chen Feng’s uprising, the two have different starting points. Compared with themselves, the younger brother valued this person’s hegemony capital more.
Wei Zhong was not surprised by this. He studied art together since he was a child, and he knew that the ambition of his younger brother to show his ambition was far greater than himself.
At this time, Jiang Di opened his mouth again, changed the subject, and asked, “The troubled times are approaching. Master asked us to make contributions. Have you made a plan? Do you want to help the court to bring peace to the troubled times, or to support a hero to fight the world?”
Wei Zhongding After calming down, he sighed and said, “I haven’t made up my mind yet. I plan to go to the capital first, to see the atmosphere of the imperial court, and to see if there is any salvation in this big summer.”
Jiang Di nodded and said slowly, “In that case, you and I are here. Let’s part.”
Wei Zhong was stunned: “Junior brother?”
Jiang Di’s eyes flickered: “In troubled times, a group of heroes rises together, and there must be a hero born. I plan to travel around, and I will choose a hero to assist me. I won’t be with you anymore.”
Wei Zhong was silent, but he was not so surprised.
Although the two are from the same school, their pursuits are not the same. The younger brother has always been arrogant, and he is more inclined to go alone and build his own achievements than to join forces with him.
“Hey, it seems that you and I need to say goodbye eventually, just today.”
Wei Zhong sighed, knowing that the younger brother had made up his mind and would not hold back.
“Okay, then goodbye in Jianghu… Maybe one day, you and I will have a chance to compete.”
After Jiang Di said this, he got up and left and left the tea shop.
After walking a few steps, he paused for a moment, then glanced at Wei Zhong for the last time across the fence, and said casually,
“Also… don’t die easily.”
After saying that, Jiang Di didn’t care anymore and strode west.
Wei Zhong shook his head, checked out, left the tea shop, and walked in the other direction.
On the official road where the sun was setting, the two of them walked away from each other and went their separate ways.
…
As the military situation of Huyang’s defeat was passed back to the capital, the government and the opposition were shaken.
Another day up.
Beijing, Ziji Temple.
“The 400,000-strong army was chasing thieves, but in the end it was defeated.
The emperor was furious, and the ministers dared not speak.
When the emperor was tired of scolding, Qin Song came out and said cautiously:
“What the sage said is very true, although the two generals Ma Zhen and Huang Ping sacrificed their lives for the country, they were not to blame for their failure to command the troops. Money, no achievements… The commander-in-chief of the three armies is recommended by Pang Shumi, I don’t know what Pang Shumi has to say?” The
emperor’s eyes immediately turned to Pang Hong, which was quite unkind.
Pang Hong swallowed, and hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty: “I don’t know who I am, and I am guilty!” The
emperor said
coldly: “Pang Shumi helped me to send troops. I had high hopes, but you taught me to be disappointed.”
Guilty!”
Pang Hong was sweating profusely, and he had already cursed Ma Zhen with blood.
He told Ma Zhen to delay the fight for a long time, but in the end he didn’t even endure it for half a year.
This is good, not only did I not make much money, but I would also be dragged down.
At this time, the left minister Lu Wenzong took a few steps forward, as if to defend Pang Hong, and said in a low voice: “Your Majesty, although Ma Zhen’s army was defeated, he also saved most of his military strength, and he took the strategy of flooding the bandits, but in the end the success was in vain. ”
It’s good not to mention this, but now that I mention it, the ministers get excited, and they all accuse and scold Ma Zhen.
On the surface, all the ministers objected to such poisonous schemes as flooding Huyang. After all, they had to consider their own reputation.
There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. If they publicly agree, I am afraid they will be criticized, and it will be difficult to keep a clear name in the world… Especially this strategy has failed.
To fail, it must be wrong.
Moreover, someone should take the blame for the defeat, and no one wants to excuse Ma Zhen.
However, no matter whether the ministers secretly support the flooding strategy, they all feel that it is inappropriate for Lingfengzi’s disaster relief actions.
Soon there was a look of resentment on Qingliu’s face, and he opened his mouth to impeach:
“Sacred Master, although Ma Zhen’s move was wrong, what Yufeng Master did is even more inappropriate. As a celestial master in the court, he actually helped the rebels in disaster relief. This matter has spread among the people and greatly hurt the face of the court. You must not continue to indulge Master Yufeng, and I hope that the sage will investigate!” The
ministers agreed, and their attitudes were similar.
How can a high-ranking person representing the imperial court actually help the rebels, not even for disaster relief!
This effect is so bad that it makes people dare not think about it!
According to the meaning of the ministers, flooding the poison plan is wrong, but this is the predicament of the anti-thief, and the officers and soldiers should sit back and watch, otherwise they will help the thief.
This obviously exposed their true thoughts… They shouted against it, but if the flooding plan can really hit the rebels, most of them are happy to see it happen, and they are secretly happy while harshly criticizing.
As for the disasters affecting the people of Huyang, no one really took it seriously.
The emperor listened to the impeachment of the ministers, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and finally said slowly:
“There must be a reason for the real Yufeng to act. When he returns, let him make it clear, and now there is no need to mention it.”
He thought to himself.
It was inevitable to have suspicions about the real Yufeng, but he still held back.
There is a lesson from the past that Ma Zhen was taken away from the army, and the importance of Lingfengzi has risen again in the emperor’s mind.
…
On the other side, Huyang, Hongzhou Prefecture.
Zhou Jing stood on the tower, overlooking the cottage soldiers and horses that swarmed into the city.
Now that Longwangzhai officially occupies the state and seizes the city, the Huyang prefectures are basically taken over by the cottage and become the power of the ruling party.
He looked at it for a while, retracted his gaze, opened the panel and glanced at the news:
[Trigger achievement [One Party Overlord]]
[Get 10,000 Astral Points, 20 Information State Particles, [Quality Enhancement – Charm (M)] x1, [Quality Enhancement – Commander (Small)] x1]
[Career Goal [Prince and General Xiangning have a kind] completed]
[Get 80 Information State Particles]
[Current apostle’s constant progress: 947/240]
“Sure enough, once Huyang was separated, this life goal was completed, and now there is only one left… In addition, I repelled the officers and soldiers, severely damaged the prestige of the court, and created a general trend in the world. The income from collection and placement continues to be earned, and it is very easy to increase the progress to more than 1000.”
Zhou Jing nodded secretly.
The first step of the strategy has been achieved, let Longwangzhai be a pirate here, and UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com develop and operate the base.
The next step is to personally lead troops to attack the nearby borders, use your unstoppable personal force, see the city break the city, and act as a rogue who travels abroad for a long time, echoing the base area.
Overthrowing the imperial court is not a direct goal, killing a powerful family is the last career goal.
If you don’t kill enough families, changing the dynasty will not meet the career requirements.
However, the aristocratic gentry scattered all over the place, and it was time-consuming and laborious to remove them one by one.
When he kills more powerful people in the south, families from all over the world will naturally be frightened and forced to migrate to a safe area, such as going north to the capital to take refuge.
After all… the capital has Lingfengzi in charge, and in the eyes of the aristocratic family, at least it will not fall.
Time to harvest!
“As for the next crusade target…”
Zhou Jing touched his chin, his eyes flickering.
Just choose the neighbor Jiang Chun, after all, Ning Tianfu is too familiar with himself.
In this Daxiafujing, there are a lot of powerful people, from hundreds of years of family, from the founding of the country, from the royal family.
Zhou Jing squinted his eyes: “Just right, last time the Ning Tianfu family asked a bunch of injustices to kill me, so I should ask these people behind the scenes to figure it out, lest they really think the matter is over.”
