The shouting outside suddenly stopped, and Shi Sheng's roar stopped. The three masters and apprentices who were being held in prison stared blankly at the command arrow stuck in the grass.
The monks from the Three Kingdoms of the West who caught the three masters and disciples were also stunned and stared at the command arrow.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows what this command arrow means after being thrown, make a decision!
The swordsmen and axemen who often accompanied the army immediately rushed from both sides.
"master!"
"master!"
The hair on the hairs of the two capable disciples stood up in shock, and they screamed again and again, reminding the master who was a little confused.
Shi Sheng was really confused. Shang Chaozong dared to kill him? It wasn't until he was reminded by his ears that he took his eyes away from the command arrow and spotted the axe-hand rushing towards him.
A group of figures flashed before his eyes, and the swordsman and axe-hand had snatched people away from the monks from the Three Kingdoms of the West.
It was also the monks from the Western Three Kingdoms who let go. After letting go of the three masters and disciples, they all stepped back. They were not gloating at the misfortune, but were surprised and confused. This was the elder of Xiaoyao Palace. How dare Shang Chaozong kill him
In an instant, the three masters and disciples were forced to kneel on the ground, and their heads were pressed down.
Shi Sheng finally realized what was going to happen. He never dreamed that this day would come when a dignified monk would die at the hands of a bunch of ants. His eyes were about to burst, and he finally let out a sad and angry roar, "Shang Chaozong, you ant villain, what do you want to do? ?I order you to let go immediately..."
The shouts suddenly stopped, and the military orders were like mountains. The swordsman and axe-hand swung the sword and chopped without hesitation. When he raised the sword and dropped it, three streams of hot blood spurted out. The green grass was sprayed with bright red. Three big heads fell in full view of the public. land.
"Hiss!" I don't know how many people took a breath of cold air.
The monks from the Three Western Kingdoms were all stunned and stayed where they were.
In the tent, Huang Lie's face was twitching non-stop. A person of Shi Sheng's level, who could usually be treated with respect by anyone who came to Dachan Mountain, was actually beheaded by the Shang Chaozong like this. Really Beheaded
What made him more crazy was who gave this guy such courage? Niu Youdao is not around, so Xiaoyao Palace won't think it's his Dazenshan who is backing him up, right
Ga Miaoshui's eyebrows were raised high for a long time and he couldn't put them down. His eyes gradually moved to Shang Chaozong's face. He wanted to stop it before, but then gave up after thinking about it. The conflicts with the three major sects here are very important to the court. Not a bad thing.
But the shock in his heart was still indescribable. He was thinking, if it were your Majesty, would you dare to do this
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes in silence, sighing secretly, as expected, like father, like son.
Feng Ruonan, who was standing nearby, slowly turned back to look at Shang Chaozong, her heart beating wildly. Today she had truly experienced what it means to be decisive in killing!
Gongsun Bu, who was standing in the corner, was also secretly frightened.
"Send your head to Su Qitong!"
Shang Chaozong made a deep sound, causing everyone to come back to their senses one after another.
Someone immediately took away the three heads outside the tent, and the bodies were also taken away and disposed of.
Inside the tent, Shang Chaozong issued another military order, "Twelve military orders, issued every three hours, until all groups of people execute them!"
…
In the military tent of Haozhou Army, three trays covered with white cloth and stained with blood were delivered to Su Qitong.
Looking at the three sergeants from Nanzhou and the trays in their hands, he knew that the trays contained heads, but he didn't know who they belonged to.
He is not a person with stage fright, let alone show it. He slowly approaches, reaches out and casually lifts off the white cloth of the tray in the middle.
It was okay not to reveal it, but when I uncovered it, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and blink. Finally, with an "ah" sound, I stepped back in shock and bumped into the desk behind me.
"You..." He looked pale and pointed at Shi Sheng's head, really not knowing what to say.
He never expected that Shang Chaozong would follow his example and kill Shi Sheng. Shang Chaozong was clearly warning him, and this was a lesson learned from the past!
Shi Sheng said before that he wanted to make Shang Chaozong look good, but he came back with only his head.
Not long after, the heads of the three sects guarding Haozhou came over after hearing the news and admired the three heinous heads.
There were still a few Xiaoyao Palace disciples here who were even more angry and yelled, and ran out, shouting that they wanted to settle accounts with Shang Chaozong.
However, after running out of the camp, he did not dare to go to Shang Chaozong. They even killed Shi Sheng, so why are they still afraid of them
All that's left is to urgently report to the division.
…
"The prince killed Shi Sheng?"
In a valley far or near from the Nanzhou army, Niu Youdao, who was standing under a big tree with a sword, turned around and asked in surprise.
In fact, he has been following the people of Shang Chaozong, but he has always kept a distance and has not been openly with Shang Chaozong. I don't know what he thinks.
Regarding the news in the army, he has always been informed in detail through people in Wuliang Mountain. He is not far away and can grasp the news at the first time at any time.
Guan Fangyi also had a look of surprise and uncertainty on her face. She flashed the paper in her hand and said, "The news from Gongsun Bu said this. Master Dao, is this prince confused? The elders of the three major sects are the ones who can act rashly." ?"
"Confused?" Niu Youdao chuckled, looked at the other side of the valley, and sighed, "Our prince is not a confused person. It is reported that when he was first released from prison in the capital, he suffered all kinds of humiliation on the streets, but he could always He kept silent, and after leaving the city, the troops arrived, and he immediately decisively killed the general who was guarding the city with his sword!"
Looking back at Guan Fangyi, she smiled again: "That was in the capital, just under Shang Jianxiong's low eyelids! The Nanzhou Incident, Feng Lingbo's seizure of power, was also under the control of Tianyumen, and again under the control of Tianyumen In front of his eyes, he did not hesitate to shoot Feng Lingbo's son. He had never been afraid! Is it strange to kill Shi Sheng? It is not strange at all, because he knows very well that under the current situation, it is impossible for the three major factions to What to do to him, and the three major sects will be the first to suspect that I am supporting him. I will stop him when he comes! Our prince assesses the situation and makes decisive decisions. He is as clear as a mirror in his heart. , I am never vague when I shouldn’t be, and I have a kingly demeanor!”
Guan Fangyi frowned: "You mean..."
"Alas!" Niu Youdao looked back into the distance again, "Shang Jianbo could gather so many capable people around him to serve him during his lifetime, how could he have no means? Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will Drilling, coming from a family like that, hearing and seeing it, how can you not be affected by it?"
…
In the Jin Palace, Shao Pingbo walked into the palace dressed in silver fox fur. He found that Tai Shuxiong had no expression on his face and stepped forward to salute.
Tai Shuxiong signaled his displeasure, and with a wave of his hand, Tao Lue presented a memorial to Shao Pingbo.
After looking at the expression on Tai Shuxiong's face, Shao Pingbo was suspicious of the content of the report. When he opened his eyes to watch, his pupils suddenly shrank and he murmured, "Not to suppress the rebels, only to suppress the princes..." "
Tai Shuxiong sighed: "Yes! Not to suppress the rebels, but to suppress the princes. This Nanzhou strategy is really extraordinary. With Nanzhou's execution ability, this strategy will definitely work. It seems that the chaos in Yan will be quelled soon. I really don’t know if those companies can still fight.”
Shao Pingbo closed the report and looked up, "Your Majesty wants to withdraw the monks from Jin?"
Taishu Xiong nodded, "I asked you to come here just to talk about this matter. This is what the lonely king has in mind."
The reason here is very simple. The Yan State cannot be allowed to quell the rebellion too quickly. Otherwise, the purpose of Han and Song Dynasty sending troops will not be achieved, and the purpose of Zhao State's intervention will not be achieved. Ultimately, it will affect the Jin State's purpose. Now that the Yan State is rapidly suppressing the rebellion, how can the Jin monks continue to help
Shao Pingbo did not agree with this, "Your Majesty, I think we can't withdraw yet."
Tai Shuxiong said, "Tell me what you think."
Shao Pingbo: "Withdrawing people now will easily expose Jin's intentions, which will alarm several parties and give up. Don't withdraw people, but you can do the work without putting in any effort, and just act perfunctory."
Tai Shuxiong pondered, "How can I avoid being seen through this way?"
Shao Pingbo: "I can find an excuse. I was fooled by several princes of the Yan State before, which caused heavy losses to the Jin State. I have lingering fears and keep it secret."
"Yeah!" Taishu Xiong nodded, "This is a very good plan!"
As everyone knows, Shao Pingbo has other plans in his heart. The Jin monks have already won the trust of the Yan State. Some of the manpower is with the Shang Chaozong. As long as the manpower is left there, once there is an opportunity, he can wait for an opportunity to get rid of the Shang Chaozong. Mengshan Ming.
When leaving the palace, Shao Pingbo, who was walking quietly in the palace square, felt a little conflicted. The sudden attack from Nanzhou disrupted his plan. For him, the loss of Jin monks was still too little, but The changes in the situation forced the Jin monks to start to stop.
However, the subsequent changes in the battlefield situation made the Jin monks' intention to stop in vain. It can also be said that they did not play any role. The change in the situation was even beyond everyone's expectations.
After Luoxialing was breached and the Haozhou troops officially launched an all-out attack, the rebels suddenly retreated rapidly in the face of the offensive. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were escaping.
Shang Chaozong also made a mistake in his decision. He ordered Su Qitong to attack Qianlijiang and then defend it, thus missing the best opportunity to pursue.
Even Meng Shanming did not expect the sudden escape of the rebels...
A group of people and horses galloped eastward in an emergency, led by Wu Gongling, who had ordered a comprehensive reduction of his troops.
When the troops and horses were resting in the middle of the journey, Quan Taifeng and others came forward and asked, "What does the general mean by going east?"
Wu Gongling said: "Of course we are dealing with the enemy."
Quan Taifeng: "How to deal with it."
Wu Gongling sighed: "Elder Quan, even if you tell me, you don't understand. Don't worry, I won't die. I have a clever plan to deal with it."
Quan Taifeng was speechless. He really didn't understand how to dispatch troops and generals.
However, Dan Dongxing, the temporary head of Tongxian Pavilion, had known Wu Gongling for more than a day or two. They had known each other for many years, so they naturally knew something about him and noticed something was wrong.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to avoid everyone, Dan Dongxing approached Wu Gongling and asked softly: "Does the general have other plans?"
Wu Gongling quickly looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Don't Elder Shan see it yet? We were deceived by those dogs. What's holding Nanzhou back? Bullshit!"
Shan Dongxing naturally saw it. Once Nanzhou sent troops, the matter became obvious. He sighed: "The matter has come to this. We have no way to retreat, so what can we do?"
Wu Gongling had a slightly ferocious look on his face, "Han and Song want to use us as scapegoats to disrupt the situation. That's a good idea. I won't let them sit idly by. Let's go all the way east and directly go to the place where the two countries are facing each other to disrupt the situation. I think he How could Han Song just stand idly by?"
To put it bluntly, he was afraid and didn't want to fight any more with the imperial army to suppress the rebellion. He wanted to run away!
