Age of mythical princes

Chapter 102 Knowing I'm Sinful, It's Only Spring and Autumn (ask for a monthly ticket)
The Taoist soldiers lined up in front, and the county soldiers guarded the rear.

Jiang Hua took his personal guards and sat on the chariot in the center.Behind him, there are war drums one after another.

Jiang Hua looked around, feeling very uncomfortable.

Under this mode, it seems that at any time, a master will raid from the ground, descend from the sky, and cast spell attacks from a distance, making people feel insecure.

Jiang Hua felt that the current mode of warfare really had to change.

In the past, the commander-in-chief sat in the camp of the Chinese army and gave orders.The position of the commander must be eye-catching, and a conspicuous military flag must be placed above the head, so that the surrounding soldiers know that the commander is here, watching everyone from behind, in order to boost morale and supervise the army.

But the war at that time was a war between nobles and nobles.

Even if you defeat the opponent, you should be polite and polite, and don't kill if you can.The other party will also pay the ransom according to the rules. The ransom for the nobles is more, and the ransom for the Chinese is less.

At that time, the people of every country were cherished treasures, and they could not die casually. If there were too many deaths, the foundation would be shaken.Everyone is also willing to prohibit the use of many vicious, powerful Taoism and supernatural powers that have the effect of washing the ground on the battlefield.

But now times have changed, anyway, Jiang Hua thinks that if he is the coach, he must use all kinds of spells to wash the ground, no matter how convenient it is.

After this battle is over, go back and reform!

Thinking of this, Jiang Hua looked at the city wall in the distance. At this moment, Hu Tu was standing there, surrounded by layers of personal guards to protect him.Suddenly, an old man slowly came down from the city wall in a hanging basket holding a large black flag embroidered with rolling billows.

Different eras and different countries have different signs of surrender. Sometimes a white flag is raised, but in today's Nest Country, holding a large black flag embroidered with billowing billows has the same effect as raising a white flag.Therefore, seeing the old man holding the black billowing flag, the army did not launch an attack immediately.

It may be that the participants in the war in this era were nobles, so the beautifully crafted black rolling flag was used as a symbol of surrender.When the war becomes more intense and it is impossible to keep the black billowing flag anytime and anywhere, maybe the black flag will symbolize surrender.

"Old Hu Qing from the Hu clan in Liucheng has seen the prefect!"

At this moment, Hu Qing stood on the ground and bowed to Jiang Hua.Jiang Hua knelt on the chariot, wearing armor and holding the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

"Although the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be beheaded, but the envoy please come here quickly, so as not to delay the army entering the city to rest. Originally, we planned to enter the city to rest this afternoon." Feng Yi said as soon as he came up. Hu Qing came to a dismount.

Hu Qing stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Why should the Feng scholar (cabinet bachelor) deceive me?"

"Liucheng is a county city. It not only has a barrier of forbidden law, but also a large protective formation built according to the terrain. When the entire city was built, a lot of materials of forbidden law were used. Under this heavy protection, light Look at the soldiers in front of you, they can't attack at all."

"In the past ten thousand years, there have been only a handful of counties and cities that have been breached in Chao Country, and most of them were not due to external forces but various internal factors."

"If you want to rely on violence to break through the county, you have to come to the first monarch. Even if you are a qi master, you have to come in person to make it possible."

"Besides, Liucheng and Yancheng have always been good neighbors and friendly neighbors. We have been old neighbors for many years. Over the years, we have a very good relationship with each other. This time, we must have been instigated by traitors, and we have developed to the point where we are today. Sun's bewitchment is all a misunderstanding!"

"In order to resolve this misunderstanding, the prefect decided to offer 3000 shi of grain, [-] slaves, and [-] million money..."

Hearing this, Jiang Hua shook his head directly: "What you said is mine, why should you give it to me? Wouldn't it be better to just get it?"

Clan elder Hu Qing was not angry. For negotiation, as long as you are willing to speak, even if it is a lion who speaks loudly, it means that there is something to talk about.Some talk is better than no talk, better than direct war.

"Look, the enchantment is broken!"

"It's not just the enchantment of the forbidden law, but the protective formation seems to be broken!"

"More than that, even the city gate is broken!"

Following the crowd's exclamation, Hu Qing looked back and saw Hu Tu who had just stimulated the power of his blood and came to the city wall with a tail.Then my mind is full of question marks: ? ? ?
Hutu crazy?

This is impossible!

Then there is only one truth!
Before Hu Qing could continue to speak, Jiang Hua stood up from the chariot: "Masters of Liucheng, I am Jiang Hua, the prefect of Yancheng."

"Now Liucheng has entered an undefended state, please appease the people in the city who are out of control, because the army is about to enter the city."

"I use the reputation of the Jiang family in Yancheng as a guarantee for the army. As long as you return home at this moment and stay behind closed doors, your life safety can still be guaranteed."

"Everything is business as usual, follow Yang Cheng's rules!"

"After half an hour, the army will enter the city. Please hurry up and return to the mansion. Otherwise, once the army sees blood, it will not be easy for me to keep restraining them."

"Loyal ministers of the Hu clan, don't need to be too sad, let alone have a death wish."

"In this battle, what Yancheng is looking for is money, resources, population, skills, and magical weapons.",

"Soon, Yancheng will withdraw from this place, and you can continue to assist the Hu family and rejuvenate the Hu family at that time."

Although the people in the city couldn't figure out why Hu Tu suddenly went crazy, it was an undisputed fact that Liucheng's enchantment of forbidden magic had been broken at this moment, and it was also a fact that the army could enter the city to kill at any time!
At this time, the nobles had to consider whether Jiang Hua's words were credible.

After thinking about it for a while, even those loyalists have to admit that it is their loyalty to the Hu family to remain useful at this moment!
At this moment, many loyal ministers began to comfort themselves: Jiang Hua is also an aristocrat, and the aristocrats can do everything in private, but when they are upright, they mostly talk about credibility.What's more, Jiang's reputation in the past has always been very good.

An hour later, the city has become empty.

The army went to the barracks and automatically put down their weapons.

The Chinese returned to their huts, the doors and windows were closed, and the brave ones quietly went to the second floor, opened a gap in the window, and observed the changes in the outside world through this gap.

The nobles returned to the courtyard, and began to think about what to do with their family after Liucheng was broken. After losing all their land and other tangible wealth, how should their family rise again?

Crisis crisis, danger breeds opportunity!

The shrewd aristocrats have already begun to think about how to report later, how to use this opportunity to successfully lead the family to rise!
……

bump!
The teacup was thrown to the ground forcefully and broke into pieces. This teacup was Junxi's favorite teacup in the past. It was given to him by Taoist Tianyan when he succeeded to the throne. It has been used for hundreds of years. The patterns on it are all It's worn out, and I still use it every day.

"waste!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"Mud can't support a wall!"

"I have to ask Brother Bochang for this trip."

Sitting opposite Guo Junxi is a very young man, he is also a person with the surname Ji, and he was born in a side branch of the surname Ji.It is said to be a side branch, but in fact the branch he belongs to has long been lost among the people.In his father's generation, he directly became bankrupt and a savage.

The former nobleman of Tianhuang has now turned into a savage after many generations. Although it sounds incredible, who can predict everything in the mystery of good fortune?

Later, when he was about to starve to death, Bochang awakened the blood of the Phoenix and was reborn from the ashes.

Then, Bochang was trained by the mysterious man. Under the training of the mysterious man, he awakened again at the age of 16 and took control of his blood, becoming a doctor of the third generation.

Afterwards, under the introduction of the mysterious person, I met the current Emperor Zhou, met with the others from a distance, and was given a drop of blood by the Emperor Zhou.After Bochang took the essence and blood, he began to learn a lot of knowledge about qi refiners, and he used the knowledge of qi refiners to suppress and tame the blood in his body.

Although he is only 25 years old now, he is already a genuine second-generation minister.

Junxi had only seen such a young genius in the history books of Chao Country.In reality, none.Whether it is the Tianyan Taoist 800 years ago or the Changkong Taoist in Yancheng today, they all seem to be inferior in comparison.

More importantly, this genius came from Luoyang, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, and brought with him the will of the emperor.Although Zhou Tianzi has long since fallen, he is still a great figure in the eyes of such small princes as Chao Guo.

Bochang drank his tea calmly, and opened his eyes after a long while: "The emperor has bestowed three drops of blood essence on my trip, and the first drop of blood essence has already been rewarded to you to help you rejuvenate and improve your strength. After a day, your strength will increase by one point, and after a few years, when you have fully mastered the power of this drop of blood essence, you will not be far from the first king of Chao Kingdom."

Although this step is a world of difference, it is bound to be impossible to break through, but for a monarch of a small country like Guo Junxi, it is already a surprise to have such strength.Even if there are some future troubles, I don't care so much.

The blood essence bestowed by the emperor was used as a trump card back then.

A long time ago, there were small vassal states surnamed Ji all over the world.

At that time, where there was chaos, the emperor only needed to give a drop of blood essence, and the monarch of the small country could have the strength comparable to that of the first monarch after taking it.

Although after using this power, the monarch of a small country will die because of it.But power is power, and it is genuine, enough to deter all disobedient ministers!
With the passage of time, Zhou Tianzi declined, and these small vassal states surnamed Ji naturally lost their glory.

"For you and me, if you take another drop of blood essence, you can temporarily have the strength comparable to that of the first monarch. This kind of strength is enough to reduce all accidents and ensure the smooth development of things."

Speaking of this, Bo Chang couldn't help asking: "But, do you regret it?"

"After the Dao Extermination Order was issued, Taoist Tianyan is still alive and well, and even took this opportunity to improve his cultivation. Maybe when he really becomes a real person."

"Every real person is not weaker than the first monarch, comparable to the real gods and beasts of heaven and earth. If you have not issued an order to destroy Taoism, even if you die, Taoist Tianyan will still remember the good of Chao Country, before he dies of old age or falls. , Chao Country will definitely be able to pass on smoothly, why are there so many accidents like now?"

Guo Junxi shook his head without hesitation: "Brother Bochang, although you are a real genius, you have already possessed the strength of the second-generation minister at only 25 this year, and even mastered many secret methods, your strength is stronger than mine at the moment." You have to be stronger, but after all, you have never been a king, and you don't understand the true meaning of being alone."

"Tianyan Taoist is my best friend. If it weren't for his help back then, I would not have been able to tame the will contained in the blood in my body, let alone defeat other princes to succeed to the throne."

"After succeeding to the throne, I entrusted him with the great affairs of the Chao Kingdom. For the past 800 years, he has done his best. As for the reform, he is not that material either."

"Taoism is the trend of the future. Many enlightened nobles and vassal states have begun to embrace Taoism and carry out reforms from top to bottom. I know all of this."

"Han family, Zhao family, and Wei family, these three major clans are the Shangqing of Jin, the most powerful country today. There are also many Taoists in China.”

"The Taoists want to reform, the Taoists want to completely gain status and strengthen the country, and the princes want to learn the wisdom and knowledge of the Taoists to strengthen themselves. This is almost destined to happen next. I know all of this!"

"But, I'm about to die!"

"When I met you, brother Bochang, I was already old, and the old one was dying."

"At that time, my confidants left me one after another, wanting to be loyal to the new king."

"At that time, Brother Tianyan, who was in power, was also earnestly teaching the new king how to govern a country."

"At that time, all the nobles and nobles in Chao Kingdom were looking forward to the succession of the new king. Who made me old? Who made me stupid? Who made me make mistakes again and again?"

Speaking of this, Junxi laughed at himself: "I know, if it wasn't for Brother Tianyan's insistence, my stupid monarch would have been killed by Nizi long ago. I can live well all the time, thanks to Brother Tianyan protection. But even Brother Tianyan can only guarantee that I am still alive, not that I will continue to have power."

"When I was lying on the hospital bed, listening to my heavy breathing, and feeling the weakening of my vitality bit by bit, my mentality changed."

"You can say that I was affected by the will of the banner contained in my blood, or that I was about to die and even lost my sanity, but I have to say that I don't actually want to meet death, I want to live, I want to Continue to live in power!"

"The oppression of death and the comparison before and after losing power made me change my mind."

"Especially after meeting you, brother Bochang, I swore at that moment. The monarch Xi who was dedicated to the Chao Kingdom is dead, and the one who lives next is a monarch Xi who is only for himself."

"So, when I return to my youth, I can issue the Dao extermination order without hesitation."

"For me, what are those Taoists? They are not as good as Daoist Brother Tianyan. Therefore, even if you suggested to suppress Daoist Brother Tianyan earlier, I still kept my hands and did not kill him."

"After all, when I grow old, Brother Tianyan is the only one who still misses me. If possible, I would really like to keep him alive..."
