Mysterious Tribulation

Zhang Haoran never imagined that Liang Jun was so strong!

Moreover, Taishang Shenlei is also extremely suitable for siege.

This led to the instant collapse of the original plan. It only took a few days for Liang Jun to break through the city every time, and the reputation of being good at attacking shocked the world!

Today, there is only the last Daqu Mansion left in Xuzhou.

And Liang Jun didn't even decrease but increased, and there were still 80,000!

Although all the secret agents and secret spy leaders shouted that it was impossible, that there was no increase in troops in the south, they were suspected of being insane or suffering from hysteria, but Zhang Haoran had already regarded them as incompetent, and just chopped off one of them.

After all, it wasn't the increase of troops in the south, could it be that Xu Lingzi conjured it up?

Zhang Haoran did spread rumors about Xu Lingzi being a monster, eating babies' hearts, killing people and turning corpses into soldiers, etc., but these rumors didn't have much effect.

Those cities should surrender or surrender, after all, if they do not surrender, they will die!

Up to now, Zhang Haoran wanted to cry bitterly with the betrayal and desolation.

He went down the city wall and returned to the mansion.

The Zhang family is a thousand-year-old family, and Zhang Haoran's mansion is also a first-class luxury. Although nothing can be seen on the surface, any random decoration or hanging decoration may be made by a certain craftsman with great concentration.

But at this time, Zhang Haoran had no intention of appreciating it at all, and wrote several letters in front of the desk.

Come on!

master!

Send these letters to the north and deliver them to the address above.

Zhang Haoran ordered someone to deliver the letter, and went to the backyard, outside a study.

In the study room, a handsome young man wearing a moon white gown, was writing with a pen.

His writing is like a dragon and a snake, and an article is finished in a short time. Zhang Haoran just read it, and he feels that the article is full of clouds and smoke, with endless aftertaste.

Okay...Ju Shi, if your article is normal, this old man must find a jug of good wine, read it slowly, and be able to drink with the article.

Zhang Haoran sighed in admiration.

The young man who wrote the article was a relative of his clan. He was intelligent when he was young, and was accepted as a student, named Zhang Jushi.

Zhang Jushi is quick-witted, has a photographic memory, and has the ability to infer other things from one instance.

Zhang Haoran has always been regarded as a disciple of the mantle, and even believes that the one who revives the Zhang family must be this person.

Ju Shi, you have this article, the fire has come, if Dasong is still there, it will be easy to take the Jinshi exam...

Zhang Haoran stumbled and sighed: It's a pity, it's a pity...

Looking at the handsome and elegant young man, I love him even more, but at this moment, I can only grit my teeth: Ju Shi, kneel down!

Zhang Jushi was startled, and immediately knelt down in front of the saint's portrait: Teacher, please tell me...

Now that the army is besieging the city, my Zhang family is in danger...

As Zhang Haoran said, his heart was on fire.

Teacher, this disciple will follow the Liang thief... The boy's face turned red.

No!

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Haoran: I want you to preserve your usefulness and take refuge in the Great Liang...Even if you can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, you have to be patient!

teacher?

Zhang Jushi's eyes widened. Is this still the teacher who talked about starvation and injustice?

Liang Jun is brutal, my Zhang family may be in danger of being overthrown!

Zhang Haoran said.

But Zhang Jushi's eyes widened.

He doesn't believe it.

Many dynasties have changed, but no one dares to attack the Zhang family. Instead, they must recognize the canonization and land of the previous dynasty, and give them comfort.

You don't understand... that Xu Lingzi is different, he is a monster! Even the Taoists who came from him have been cleaned up, how can he be soft on Brahma?

Zhang Haoran smiled wryly: The thing that scares me even more is that...the way in the south can actually govern the country, and it can be governed very well...but if it succeeds, where will I be named as a teacher?

That's why the teacher mobilized the whole state to break the momentum of King Liang's rise? Zhang Jushi seemed to understand.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end.

Yes, as a teacher, I really don't understand military affairs, which led to repeated defeats. Now I don't need to talk about it... but you, shoulder the important task of revitalizing my famous teaching! Zhang Haoran said: Since Xuzhou has fallen, King Liang has gained a foothold in the north King Jin and King Kang may not be able to compete with them, so King Liang is very likely to win the world! You have to remember, when you go to Liang, you must be loyal!

Loyalty?

Zhang Jushi seemed to understand something.

My famous religion can gain a foothold by relying on the word loyalty. You must remember that you are loyal to the king of Liang. Even if the king of Liang asks you to die, you must be willing to go to Jiuquan with a smile on your face! Am I waiting for a Confucianist? King Liang is young at this time, and he will definitely understand in the future!

So that's it, I understand! Zhang Jushi nodded.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of fighting!

what happened?

Zhang Haoran's expression changed, he suddenly grabbed Zhang Jushi and hid him in a hidden cabinet next to him, while he sat calmly, waiting for the final judgment.

The sound of killing gradually approached.

In the end, a housekeeper of the Zhang family broke his hand and was kicked in: My lord... the big thing is not good... Lu Xiaoyi is rebellious! He also gathered the big families in the city and led troops to surround our house!

What?

Zhang Haoran couldn't believe it, and looked at a scholar who was walking in, and said coldly: The old man is really blind, I didn't expect that you, the disciple, betrayed the old man first!

Although he had high hopes for Zhang Jushi, the other party was still young after all, and he was just a closed disciple.

What Zhang Haoran values ​​most now is his disciple Lu Xiaoyi.

But he didn't expect that it was the other party who led the army to break into his mansion.

teacher!

Lu Xiaoyi saluted first, and then said: Please be kind to the teacher, and give us a way to survive...

You? All the big households in the mansion have turned against each other? Zhang Haoran sneered: Many of their relatives died under the butcher knife of Liang Jun! You are still scholars!

He also probably understood.

Most of the negative people are scholars!

Because I have read more books, learned more, and experienced more, I always like to think about things when I encounter them, and then seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

And the dog-slaying generation did it with enthusiasm.

Of course it's different.

For the gentry in this city, although their relatives and friends may have died at the hands of Liang Jun, if they don't surrender, their whole family will die!

On balance, I can only kneel!

Teacher... Prime Minister Liang has hated the teacher for a long time, so please hurry up and get on the road.

Lu Xiaoyi said calmly, and ordered the soldiers beside him to deliver white silk and poison...

You...you are going to kill the teacher? Zhang Haoran's fingers trembled, and Zhang Jushi, who was hiding in the secret room, couldn't help covering his mouth.

Not only the teacher, but also the entire Zhang family...students who plan to serve as kings of Liang in the future must be given a meeting gift.

Lu Xiaoyi said softly.

This gentle expression made Zhang Jushi's hair stand on end.

Okay, the old man was really blind back then, I didn't realize that you still have such good looks...

Zhang Haoran sneered a few times, and then said: Bring the wine!

Students should personally see the teacher off.

Lu Xiaoyi held the pot himself, poured wine for Zhang Haoran, and watched Zhang Haoran drink it all down.

He turned around, ignoring the painful and distorted teacher lying on the ground, and said to the person next to him: You can send a signal to the outside, and I will welcome Master Wang into the city!

...

Daqu Mansion actually surrendered?

Looking at the white flag hanging above the capital city, even Aaron felt a little dramatic.

Yes……

On Tang Xun's face was the shock from the time he just received the vote: It is said that the Lu family took the lead in the incident, united with the big households in the city, and attacked the Zhang family together. I just ask our army to show your respect...

Of course, I'm not a murderous maniac, so I won't attack those who have merit...

Aaron smiled: Anyway... In the future, tax collectors will teach them to be human again!

This is actually the difference between a quick knife kill and a slow knife cut.

It didn't make much difference in the end anyway!

The Lu family is still the family of Zhang Haoran's disciples, and they are all like this... Tang Xun smacked his lips: It's really scary for literati to become ruthless...

Let's not talk about this, let the army enter the city.

Aaron made a quick calculation in his mind and ordered: Finally, within this year, Xuzhou will be leveled. Congratulations, congratulations.

At present, the army entered the city and came all the way to the government office.

Lu Xiaoyi led all the officials to kneel to greet him: Sinners pay homage to the prime minister, and the prime minister is blessed and safe!

You were able to kill Zhang Haoran, and you deserve nothing.

Aaron laughed: I think you are a talented person. Would you like to join me in Taishangdao and participate in science, Taoism and law? You must know that in the future, officials in Xuzhou must pass public examinations, and the questions are all from science. road.

Students are willing to learn, and meet the Taoist master!

Without hesitation, Lu Xiaoyi made another big gift, which made Tang Xun secretly disdainful.

Aaron looked at the other officials again: It just so happens...Xuzhou is under the new order, and I must immediately promulgate the decree of King Liang...to levy religious taxes and commercial taxes, and start farming immediately!

As soon as this remark came out, the people below felt like mourning.

But Aaron didn't bother with that.

At this time, with the prestige of great victory, when you can kill people at will, if you don't enforce the laws that are difficult to enforce, don't you wait until the Taiping Festival in the future?

Machiavelli said in The Prince - Pain should be given once and quickly, because the less time they have to taste the pain, the less they will be irritated. On the other hand, when giving benefits to people, you should give them little by little and gradually, because only in such continuous giving can people feel your benefits to the greatest extent. '

Of course, there might be some troubles in Xuzhou Xinping.

But what Aaron likes the most is chaos. Is it true that the sword of Liujia Shenbing is not sharp?

When the time comes, cut whoever jumps out.

...

A group of people patrolled the city lively, and then came to the vicinity of Zhang Haoran's mansion.

Why are there so many dead?

Aaron frowned deliberately and asked.

Reporting to the Prime Minister, Zhang Haoran heard that the city was broken, and died by drinking poisonous wine... Lu Xiaoyi bowed and said, Then some unruly people made trouble and rushed into Zhang's mansion to snatch the rich woman. Suppress it, but the Zhang family is almost extinct.

Since that's the case, let's distribute all the Zhang family's land deeds to his tenants. It's considered the last benevolence.

Aaron laughed, and dealt with it casually, which made the following landlords feel cold.

At this moment, another young man was seen holding a straw mat and wrapping a dead body.

Who is this person?

Aaron saw it and asked casually.

Lu Xiaoyi's expression changed slightly: This is Zhang Haoran's closed disciple, and also a distant relative - Zhang Jushi.

Zhang Jushi has met the prime minister.

The young man got up, dressed in plain white, like Zhilan Yushu, and saluted.

Aren't you afraid of my military law if you dare to restrain the bones of criminals? Aaron asked suddenly with a laugh.

The young man raised his head, his eyes darkened: Where righteousness comes, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there!

Bold!

Tang Xun snorted coldly, and the surrounding soldiers had already drawn their sabers.

That's all... just spare your life.

Aaron waved his hand, and suddenly lost interest.

Chirp!

At this moment, a falcon descended from the sky and landed on the arm of a soldier next to him.

The soldiers quickly unwrapped the news and handed it to Aaron to watch.

Not bad, not bad...Double happiness came to the door today, Zhan Da and other generals finally quelled the southern rebellion, although Hei Er unfortunately died in battle...

Aaron said calmly, as if there was not much sadness: It's just one thing... There was also a big war in the north before. King Jin led his troops to the south and wanted to occupy the Central Plains. He was fighting with King Kang.

Kang Wang is also the clan of Dasong. He was not in the capital before and escaped disaster. It can be said that he has inherited the orthodoxy of Dasong.

After the official family was captured, they were favored by the northerners, and a large number of sergeants and civilian officials flocked to them, and a team of tens of thousands was assembled in a short period of time.

It's a pity that the south has been occupied by King Liang, blocking King Kang to the north. Unless this person can quickly defeat King Jin, or have a chance to fight the south, his hope is slim...

...

northern plains.

Tens of thousands of troops are fighting fiercely together.

One of them is King Kang, with mostly infantry, and the other is King Jin, with tens of thousands of cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry was divided into two groups, one with heavy armor, and suddenly began to charge, like heavily loaded tanks, rampaging.

The other group is light cavalry, who can ride and shoot on horseback. They don't fight loose soldiers directly at all. Instead, they shoot a round of arrows and avoid them far away, then approach them, and shoot another round-like a pack of wolves hunting, and then they shoot again. It's like kite tactics.

It didn't take long for King Kang's army to collapse.

Even, one of the Hu cavalry generals rushed to the camp alone and captured and killed King Kang!

...

A Taoist temple.

King Kang inherited great relief. This battle can only be won, not defeated. Once defeated, there will be no chance at all.

An old Taoist brewed tea, and said slowly: In fact, King Kang's fate is extraordinary, he has the life of an emperor, and his subordinates, Yue Ming and Niu Yaojin, are also first-class generals... But the location is not right! Master Chongming Dao planned and carefully arranged, In the end, it was so chaotic, it’s really terrifying to be tricked by God’s will! Fortunately, I didn’t enter the game, otherwise it would be miserable!”

A female crown next to her, with peach cheeks and almond eyes, just smiled when she heard the words: This time the dragon race in the world... the players who entered the game were very miserable. Needless to say, the southern Wuxiao sect and the Changjin Temple...are all ruined! ?”

Xu Lingzi has great courage, and wants to overthrow the three religions, establish a scientific way, and rank above my three religions!

The old Taoist sighed: This person...is really an odd number!

Suddenly, he looked at the sky again and shook his head: Dasong's destiny is completely cut off, and the future ownership of Shenzhou will be between Jin and Liang.

What about Chongming Dao? Nuguan suddenly asked.

Chongming Dao, the real disciples of the major disciples backfired to death as early as when the King of Jin broke the capital, and the blessed land of the mountain gate was turned into a bad place... miserable, too horrible to look at!
