Chapter 778: Each has a ghost
Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, is the first sacred mountain in China, and how many myths and legends originate from Kunlun Mountain. The god of fire is blessed, the god of water works together, and the co-workers are angry and collide with the mountain, which is one of the peaks of the Kunlun Mountain; And now, Yuan Chang, a rebel against the sky, is also about to set foot on Kunlun Mountain, looking for the reason why the Shuntian Alliance has done all this.
In the extreme depths of Kunlun Mountain, among an unknown mountain peak, pavilions and pavilions stand tall, and under the background of clouds and mist, it is like a fairyland on earth. However, no one knew that this mountain peak was the base of the Shuntian Alliance.
In a grandiose, huge pavilion, a group of high-ranking members of the Shuntian Alliance were discussing something at this moment.
"Chief, now that the rebel Yuan Chang has grown, if he is not killed again, I am afraid that the countless years of inheritance of my Shuntian Alliance will be destroyed in the hands of this guy. ”
A strong man with bare arms and a length of more than eight feet said in a voice like rolling thunder.
This strong man is the sect master of the Shadow Pavilion in charge of Yangzhou, Ying Tao, and his strength also has a seventh sense of advanced level, and he is about to step into the level of the peak of the seventh sense. With the death of the suzerain of the Shadow Pavilion in Xuzhou, and then several suzerains in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Bingzhou also died one after another, the remaining eight Shadow Pavilion suzerains can be said to be panicked in their hearts, deeply afraid that death will come to their heads, such as the Shadow Pavilion Sect Master in charge of Youzhou, but he simply fled to the north, but he escaped a catastrophe. Otherwise, the end is estimated to be the same.
And the main thing in Ying Tao's mouth is not very strong, only the primary stage of the seventh sense, and the reason why Ying Tao is respectful to him is because this main person is the only person in the Shuntian Alliance who can contact the five envoys, which shows his status.
The principal's name is Shui Yuetian, a very special name, just like his special status.
Listening to Ying Tao's words, Shui Yuetian smiled faintly, and said with a little ease: "When several sect masters died before, I contacted a few envoys, although the envoys did not leave the customs, but also left a password, saying that we don't have to worry about Yuan Chang's affairs, since someone will find him trouble, we just need to watch from the wall." ”
"Oh?"
Ying Tao frowned, and asked puzzledly: "In this world, apart from our Shuntian Alliance and those who do not share the heavens, who else will trouble him? Besides, Yuan Chang is now at the peak of the seventh sense, except for a few messengers, who is his opponent?"
"Brothers are on the wall, the messenger didn't say much, in short, let us wait in peace and act when the opportunity arises. Shui Yuetian said a simple sentence and did not follow, which made Yingtao confused.
"Sect Master Yingtao, since the envoys said so, they have their reasons, why should we bother ourselves, this world has always been controlled by our Shuntian Alliance, how can the anti-heaven person be able to take it away, you just put all your worries in your heart. ”
The person who spoke was like a middle-aged scribe, giving people a sense of weakness and deception. However, if anyone really dares to do this, they don't know how to die even if they die. This middle-aged scribe's name is Sima Jian, and his name is far from his appearance, however, Sima Jian's strength is extremely strong, reaching the level of the peak of the seventh sense. There is a saying within the Shuntian Alliance, that is, which surname will rule the world next, then, the suzerain of this surname seems to have the favor of God, and his strength will reach an unimaginable level.
"What Sect Master Sima Jian said is extremely true, what about the anti-heavens, are there still fewer anti-heavens who died in our hands, giggles. ”
The person who answered the call was a woman, and there was always a charm in her words and deeds, but this woman made Ying Tao and Sima Jian jealous. Not to mention Ying Tao, let's just say that Sima Jian's strength at the peak of the seventh sense will be afraid of this woman, which shows her terror.
This woman's name is Ji Yue, and she is the sect master of the Shadow Pavilion in charge of Jiaozhou, don't look at this woman's appearance like a twenty-eight girl, but in fact, she is an old witch who has lived for an unknown number of years. Since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Xi Yue has been a sect master of the Shadow Pavilion, and it has been more than 2,000 years now, so it can be said that Xi Yue is the predecessor of these sect masters present. Even the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, which were established later than the Shang Dynasty, have changed their suzerains several times, and only Xiyue has been standing. Of course, the other sect masters were either killed in the battle with the Rebels, or for other reasons, but Ji Yue never had an accident. It is rumored that Ji Yue has an unusual relationship with one of the five exercisers, but whether this is really the case is anyone's guess.
"What Sect Master Xiyue said is extremely true, since the envoy said so, we don't have to pay too much attention to it, and interfere too much, wouldn't it be that we don't trust a few envoys. Therefore, according to what I said, it would be better for everyone to find a good place to drink and have a good time, why worry here and add to your troubles. ”
The person who spoke was Yang Gao, a very ordinary name but with an extraordinary status, the Shadow Pavilion was in charge of the sect master of Jingzhou. This guy's face looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little fresh meat, and only those who know the inside story can understand how many innocent lives this guy has killed in order to keep this little fresh meat's face. Of course, none of these sect masters of the Shadow Pavilion are good people, after all, if they want to reach this position in the Shadow Pavilion, there are countless blood stained on their hands.
"Sect Master Yang Gao's words are good, I'll find a place to go and drink a lot. ”
"It's extreme, let's go!"
All the sect masters had also forgotten the troubles of the Heaven Rebel Yuan Chang at this moment, anyway, the five five cultivators who were really in charge of the Shadow Pavilion had all conveyed instructions for them not to worry about this matter, so why should they bother, it was better to have fun by themselves.
The location of the base of the Shuntian League, Yuan Chang would not know, at this moment he was rushing to Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions wearing stars and moons.
……
In the territory of Bingzhou, after Yuan Chang and Yu Ban left, Zhao Yun led his soldiers and horses to the south.
Bingzhou originally had nine counties, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hexi, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Shangjun, however, today's Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and Dingxiang four counties are occupied by the western Xianbei. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the Central Plains, the Western Xianbei took the opportunity to bring these four counties into their sphere of influence. Previously, Yuan Shao was consolidating his power, and Gao Gan was appointed by Yuan Shao as the governor of the state, befriended the foreign races, and did not take back these four counties, so these four counties have been in the hands of Xianbei in the northwest.
And Yuan Chang, of course, will not let the territory of the Central Plains be occupied by foreign races. Now, because of the war with Yuan Shao, and he has to go to Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, he naturally handles this matter flawlessly. However, after the war with Yuan Shao is over, Yuan Chang will take his hand to completely solve the problem of the alien races in the north. As for the problem in the south, Yuan Chang had already discussed it with Guo Jia and them, and asked Cao Cao to solve it, and finally Yuan Chang and Cao Cao occupied the north and south of the Central Plains respectively, and then started a decisive battle. Of course, it is unknown whether all this will develop as Yuan Chang and them expected.
In addition to the four counties occupied by Xianbei in the west, there are only five counties in the state, and now Yanmen County has also been taken, Zhao Yun only needs to conquer Taiyuan and Shangdang counties on this way, and Yu Ban on the way is to take Shangjun and Hexi counties. It can be said that the state has the name of a state, but only the territory of five counties, which is quite bleak.
Taiyuan County, as the seat of governance of the state, has 21 counties under its jurisdiction, with a total population of only about 300,000. The total population of the state is more than one million, and Taiyuan County accounts for most of the population, after all, Taiyuan County is the most prosperous county in the state, and at the same time, the state seat is also in Jinyang, which is under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan County, so it is normal to have such a population.
In the face of Youzhou's elite soldiers and horses, even if Taiyuan County is the political center of the state, it is also powerless.
In just a few days, 13 of the 21 counties of Taiyuan County fell into the hands of Youzhou. The defenders of these counties only symbolically resisted, and then abandoned the city or opened the city to surrender, or even the defenders had fled, so that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou could occupy the city so easily. In fact, it is not to blame the guards of these cities, after all, most of the soldiers and horses in each city were recruited to Jinyang City, or Huguan, and there were not many soldiers and horses in each city. The guards of the cities are not stupid, and there is no need to throw their lives here.
"Bastard, what are these guards doing to eat? In just a few days, thirteen county towns have fallen into the hands of the other party, what is the use of this kind of waste!"
In the hall of the Jinyang City Guard's Mansion, Gao Gan's face was iron-blue.
It's no wonder that he is so angry, the thirteen county towns will fall into the hands of Youzhou like nothing, if this matter is known by Yuan Shao, I want to know how angry Yuan Shao will be, and it will not be him who will be criticized at that time. Of course, there will be today's situation, and a big reason is still on Gao Gan.
As I said before, Gao Gan is already in the eye of money, and he is bent on trading with foreign races and making money. Knowing the temperament of high-ranking cadres, many people use money to open the way and obtain official positions from high-ranking cadres, and most of the officials in the counties and towns of Taiyuan County are bought with money by families that are good friends with high-ranking cadres, so what can such people expect them to do? As for saying that they used their lives to resist the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, it was simply a joke.
Obviously, the senior cadres also understood this, so after scolding for a while, they could only think with a gloomy face, and did not say how to deal with these officials who abandoned the city or surrendered to the enemy. After all, he received money from others, and if he said that he wanted to punish the other party, it was probably not so easy.
"That's it, not to mention the cities that have fallen into the enemy's army, except for Jinyang City, the remaining seven cities must hold off the enemy army for some days. Otherwise, even the Honshu pastor would not be able to explain to his uncle. ”
Gao Gan's words were to warn the officials present that most of the children of these officials were serving in various counties, and now that they said this, they were telling them that they must contribute, otherwise after the war is over, Yuan Shao will be held accountable, and no one will be able to escape.
"Yes, what the governor said!"
The Han family, where the Han Road is located, is one of the largest families in the state, and his position was also exchanged for a huge amount of money from the hands of senior cadres, in addition, many of the children of their Han family also have positions in various counties, and among the thirteen cities occupied by Youzhou, there are the children of the Han family. Han Lu stood up to support Gao Gan at this moment, firstly, to express his attitude, and secondly, he naturally wanted to use this method to let Gao Gan put down the mistakes of their Han family in losing the city before, of course, after that, it was indispensable to offer some money in order to completely block Gao Gan's mouth. Otherwise, Yuan Shao will investigate it, and families like their Han family are naturally the best scapegoats, but those smaller families are not qualified to be scapegoats. Therefore, in order to appease Gao Gan, Han Lu had to do the same.
"Among the remaining cities, if there are any children of my Han family, I will definitely order them to defend the city, even if they lose their lives, they will delay the speed of Youzhou's march, and they will never disappoint the governor of Youzhou. ”
Han Lu hugged his fists and assured with a straight face, of course, whether he would really let the children of the family protect the city with their lives, it is estimated that only Han Lu himself knows in his heart. Obviously, it is naturally impossible to use the lives of the children of his own family to exchange credit for Gao Gan, at this time in front of Gao Gan, he will secretly ask the children of the family to find an opportunity to escape, and then hide for a period of time, and then come out after the limelight is over, will Gao Gan still hold on.
Gao Gan nodded with satisfaction and promised: "Han Beijia has this intention, and the Honzhou Mu should keep it in mind." After the war, I will give Jizhou Mu the credit of the Han family, and I will never let the Han family down. ”
"Don't worry, my Zhang family will never hold back, and will definitely defend the city and live and die with the city!"
"Exactly, although the pastor of the state can rest assured, the children of my Ma family are not greedy for life and afraid of death, it is our honor to be able to solve problems for the pastor of the state, and how can we lag behind. ”
"That's right, defend the city to the death, and never let the enemy advance a single step!"
The other officials, most of whom were from big families, followed Han Lu and expressed their intentions one after another, clamoring for the children of the family to sacrifice their lives to protect the territory of the state. As for what they really think in their hearts, it is very different from Han Lu, no one is a fool who lets the children of his family die for the sake of his official career.
"Very well, you have such determination, why worry about me not being able to protect the state. Rest assured, I will write down all your credits, and there will be no less. ”
Gao Gan also made a promise to everyone very excitedly, but he was secretly sneering in his heart.
These guys have their own agendas, thinking they don't know what they're up to. However, they probably didn't expect that once they opened their mouths and let the order of the family children to defend the city be conveyed, they would not be able to do it at that time.
