After Pei Ziyun finished this matter, he looked a little confused and muttered: "The law cannot be upheld!"
Having been in this world for a long time, I actually have doubts. The Taoist message can travel thousands of miles in an instant. It is almost exactly the same as the radio station in the previous life. Logically speaking, it will lead to huge changes in society.
But this world has only become a supplement. Formal documents must be carried out according to the traditional post station - either by horse or boat.
The reason is that the law, as spiritual power, is too easily interfered with. Think about it, this kind of mutual interference is a good thing. If the communication is intercepted or even a word is tampered with, what will be the result
The fall of the Davidic Dynasty was due to the usurpation of Taoist instructions in a key battle, resulting in the destruction of 200,000 troops. This lesson led to the fact that although the Davidic Dynasty regarded it as a supplement, it never really regarded it as the mainstream.
All kinds of changes have influenced each other and formed the current pattern.
"True Lord, what should we do next?" Dozens of soldiers surrounded him. Standing beside him was a middle-aged man of about forty years old. Showing the unique fortitude and coldness of a soldier, he saluted and asked, "True Lord. , the food for six thousand people, including the horses, is very consumed, and now it can only last three days."
"Three days, one day is enough." Pei Ziyun said confidently: "Don't worry, the good opportunity will disappear as soon as it turns. The traitor King Lu will act quickly to avoid missing the good opportunity."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, bowed and apologized: "This is the plan of the true king, which made King Lu fall into the trap. The real king's strategy is unpredictable. This is known to the whole world. With these words, the general will be relieved." .”
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of "drive", and several horses were riding in a hurry in the distance. They came five miles away, and the horse just stopped. The captain rolled down his saddle and saluted, saying: "The King Lu's army has been detected in front, and... People who were paying close attention in the military camp received a tip-off that someone was doing something strange."
"Hmph!" When the middle-aged man heard the report, he raised his eyebrows and became murderous: "I don't want someone to go against the grain and plot a rebellion at this juncture."
After hearing the murderous words of the middle-aged man, Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "General Sha Shi, these people don't know whether to live or die, just watch them perform. Without these people, how can we lure the snake out of the hole and lure King Lu out? The show is about to begin now. It’s going on, so you can’t be careless in the slightest. You are now ordered to feed yourself and the horses, and prepare for battle.”
Hearing Pei Ziyun's calm words, Sha Shi froze, straightened up a little, and said, "I will finally understand!"
After saying that, he turned around and gave the order. Although he couldn't light a fire on a large scale, the small stove was OK. After heating the meat cakes, the soldiers said that the hot water was gobbled up.
Daying
The night was quiet, snow kept falling, and the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground could be faintly heard outside the big tent.
In the tent, Yuan Long was drinking wine, his eyes were bloodshot, a stove was burning vigorously, and a white-cut chicken was placed on the table, which was oily and fragrant.
"Ha" Yuan Long took a sip of wine and took a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the grievances in his heart.
"Bang, bang" can be heard from time to time outside the tent, armored soldiers patrolling, and their armors clashing with each other making a crisp sound.
"Captain Li, the general has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
The voice of the soldiers came from outside, and then the curtain of the big tent was opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Yuan Long, who was drinking, couldn't help but shudder, and pulled his clothes tighter.
"Your Majesty, please pay homage to the general." The captain said, glancing to the left and right, and only when no one came near did he approach in a low voice: "Uncle, I have arranged for someone to be in charge, but the city gate is directly in charge, and the person arranged by Chen Yong is in charge very tightly. , can’t move my hands.”
Yuan Long picked up the jug, filled the cup, drank it in one gulp, and handed a cup to the captain, asking: "Chen Yong is Pei Ziyun's main chess piece in the army. What are the arrangements? Can he get rid of him?"
The captain tore off a chicken leg and took a bite, his face gloomy: "Chen Yong is very vigilant and keeps his soldiers close to him. Now he is patrolling the cavalry and can't find any chance to kill him."
The captain wiped his mouth and said, and drank another drink. It was too cold outside. Drinking some wine made his blood revitalized. There was a stove in the tent, which kept him warm and very comfortable.
Yuan Long listened, his eyes flickering, and a bit of evil flashed in his eyes. There was a knife on the desk. The scabbard was patterned with tiger patterns, and it felt cool and rough when touched.
"Huh" took a long breath. Yuan Long seemed to have made a decision. He slapped his knife on the table and said, "Then open the door. As long as King Lu, no, the emperor's army rushes in, we will win." .”
The captain was taking the jug to pour wine. When he heard what his uncle said, he couldn't help being shocked. He put the jug down and approached his uncle and whispered: "Uncle, do you really want to do this?"
A fire was burning on the desk of the big tent, illuminating the inside of the big tent brightly. The light of the fire swayed and was a little eerie.
Yuan Long was silent after hearing this, his face was illuminated by fire, and he felt a sense of depression coming up again, his eyes flickered again, and he hesitated.
"Uncle, I still feel uneasy. I always feel that something is going to happen." The captain poured a glass of wine, pressed the handle of the knife, smashed his mouth, unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his heart, and took a long breath, his heartbeat It's a bit rushed.
"Alas." After listening to the captain's words, Yuan Long's face turned red, as if he was ashamed. He lowered his head for a moment, showing pain and struggle: "We were defeated last year. If only I had listened to you and withdrawn. I didn't expect that I would be surrounded as soon as I hesitated. I wrote a letter of allegiance to escape. Hey, it was actually me who dragged you down. But now, we have to respond. Otherwise, as soon as King Lu announces the letter of allegiance, our whole family will be finished. .”
"This crime is against at least three clans. Neither you nor I can escape." Yuan Long blushed with regret on his face.
"Uncle, you and I are close relatives, why are you saying this?"
"Hey, we really have no other choice now. We can only hope that this time we have made a contribution, and that we can have a way to survive without getting promoted and making money." The school captain said, seeing the sad look on his uncle's face, and speaking from his heart, But unconsciously, I remembered the day when Pei Ziyun caught the spy and killed many corpses, dripping with blood. He shook his hand and spilled some wine.
"If Pei Ziyun hadn't killed Sang Chengyi, we would have succeeded in turning against him long ago." Yuan Long slapped his hand on the table and made a sound. If he didn't succeed, I'm afraid the whole family would have to go to hell together.
Both of them sighed deeply and drank together. Yuan Long's face was solemn: "I have made up my mind. You go back and prepare. First kill a few people who are loyal to the court. When I take action, you will respond immediately."
"Yes, uncle." The captain opened the curtain and went out. Snow blew in at the door, bringing a chill. He opened his eyes and looked around. The sky was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. He sighed and turned around and disappeared.
The other officers and soldiers in the camp did not understand their mood. The entire camp was under clean and tidy, with high walls and strongholds. Soldiers were patrolling back and forth on daily inspections. There was a lot of snow on each tent.
"Here, here, dig the ditch deeper."
"Hard and fast, all the snow needs to be shoveled away."
The snow continued to fall, and groups of armored soldiers were talking loudly. Some conscripts were seen working. Not long after, Yuan Long was seen riding a horse, following a group of soldiers to inspect the camp.
On the way "General" came and went, soldiers kept saluting. Yuan Long nodded and looked as usual. Only by looking carefully could you see a trace of nervousness in his eyes. He looked around from time to time, and cold sweat flowed out of his hands unconsciously.
"General Yuan, General Chen has a ban. No one is allowed to go out without his military symbols and orders."
Yuan Long is a general, and patrolling the camp is a matter within his authority. No one will interfere or stop him. However, when he arrived at the gate, he was stopped.
"Bastard, you dare to stop me?" Yuan Long looked at the captain who was blocking him in front of him and became furious: "Why don't you open the door?"
Yuan Long stared at the armored soldier in front of him, murderous intent welling up, but the captain did not seem afraid. With a wave of his hand, the armored soldier raised his spear, faced Yuan Long, and blocked the door: "General Yuan, I have the military order on you. , but you cannot disobey, please forgive me, General."
"Okay, okay." Yuan Long laughed, then pulled the horse's head and turned around and ordered: "Let's go back."
The armored soldier guarding the gate then put away his spear. Yuan Long was heartbroken and suddenly stretched out his hand to make a gesture. The armored soldier on the opposite side also saw it and did not react for a moment. While he was stunned, a dozen of Yuan Long's soldiers agreed and pulled out their long swords. , the sword flashed, and there were only "puff" sounds heard, and it had been stabbed in.
Although the captain was a little alert, he was a step too late in the end. He was the key target. There was only a "kill" sound. Three knives were stabbed together, breaking through the leather armor and piercing deeply into the body. Only then did the captain's body fall to the ground. On the ground, the breath has expired, but his eyes are wide open and he will not close his eyes.
Yuan Long suddenly shouted: "Kill, open the door to welcome the Holy One."
"Kill!" The soldiers threw their spears. Immediately, several people screamed and were nailed to the ground. Then, the soldiers shouted and rushed up to kill. The remaining guard soldiers were scattered and chopped down to the ground in just an instant. There is a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the blood splashed on it is like plum blossoms.
"Hold on, we must not let these rebels open the door." Although the gatekeepers dispersed, the officers who refused to accept their fate shouted loudly to stop them. Suddenly the two sides collided and fought desperately.
far away
"Huh?" King Lu personally led the armored soldiers to approach the camp. He saw two thousand elite cavalry and thirty thousand troops gathered. At this time, his expression changed, and he looked across the night towards the camp, and said: "The camp There is a riot, is it initiated by insiders?"
"Your Majesty, it depends on the situation, but I don't dare to lie to you. Now I am confused and can't see clearly." A Taoist official said.
"Your Majesty, we have more than one spy, and there are also spies on patrol who have wiped out all the news of our arrival. Although it can only last half a day, it is more than enough."
"The camp is in chaos now, but it is a good opportunity. Don't hesitate." A civil servant bowed and said.
King Lu's eyes flashed, and he saw the commotion in the distance, and said to Li Yunyong: "Lead the army and charge immediately to meet Yuan Long!"
Li Yunyong was originally the captain of the team. He had made many meritorious service and became a cavalry commander. He was very admired. However, for some reason, King Lu had an idea - since this man was brave, he should be the one to charge and kill him.
"Yes!" Li Yunyong responded and charged forward with a thousand cavalry.
King Lu turned to the general again: "You lead the infantry to follow. Once you enter the camp, you can break it."
"Yes!" The general also accepted the order, and several infantry formations moved, one by one, each with 5,000 people, approaching the camp.
