Chapter 409: The Refined Egoist
The four chief officers were blocked at the four intersections, and when they heard that it was Qi Shuai's meaning, they all honestly did not dare to rush through the intersections, although Qi Jiguang only arranged a few hundred people to guard each intersection.
Qi Jiguang's official position is only the chief military officer of Jizhen, but he was crowned the crown prince and Taibao, and later entered the Shaobao, and has been promoted to the highest position among the generals. Needless to say, Qi Jiguang is a glorious example for the chief military officers, and he is a high-ranking image both in military strategy and actual combat.
Qi Jiguang conveyed the order of Lord Qincha: Datong City is already closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The four chief officers understood that there was no way to do it, they couldn't attack the city, it was a proper rebel, and they didn't need to be convicted by others.
Attacking his own city or border pass was also done by the general Lan Yu in the early Ming Dynasty, he had just fought a great victory with the Mongol army, captured the concubine of Emperor Yuan, and took this concubine for himself.
When he returned victoriously, it was night, and the border troops on the border did not dare to open the gate, fearing that it would be the enemy's deception, so they asked Lan Yu to repair outside and enter the pass at dawn. The border army means that only when the day dawns can we tell whether it is our army or the enemy, which is also the correct approach.
Lan Yu was furious, waved his army and began to attack the border pass, he was really brave, he broke through his border pass, and then destroyed the border pass, played a triumphant song, and returned to the dynasty in victory.
When Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard about it, he was so angry that he gritted his steel teeth, but Lan Yu had just made a great achievement, and this was Xu Da's first major victory after suffering a major defeat at the hands of the Mongols, and he couldn't clean him up at this time, so he had to keep it in his heart.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered the heroes, first of all, he took Lan Yu as a breakthrough, at that time, the generals basically fought under Lan Yu, but they were wiped out, only Lao Shuai Tang He married hundreds of wives in his hometown, and he spent every day drinking, drunk and dreaming of death, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this product was completely wasted, and it definitely did not pose a threat, so he let him go.
These chief military officers want to compare with Lan Yu, it is not as good as a small witch, it is basically at the level of a little ant, where do they have the courage to attack their own city, besides, there is no need for this, they have a general friendship with Li Zhipeng, and they will not call Qi Jiguang for him.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the combat strength of the official army was just now, and it was about the same as that of the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the troops led by Chang Yuchun were more powerful than the Mongolian iron cavalry, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to seize the world with a lone army.
Lan Yu brought Chang Yuchun's original troops, because Lan Yu was Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and he had been following Chang Yuchun to fight all around.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun are also in-laws, and the prince married Chang Yuchun's daughter, Lan Yu is also the prince's uncle, so when Zhu Yuanzhang killed Lan Yu, the prince tried hard to advise, but Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to kill the hero, telling the prince that he was sweeping away the thorns for the scepter that the prince would hold in the future.
The prince bitterly admonished Zhu Yuanzhang to no avail, so angry that he ran out to commit suicide in the lake, and the guards all went into the water to save the prince when they saw it, some jumped into the lake without taking off their clothes, and some jumped into the lake after taking off their clothes.
It stands to reason that taking off clothes and going into the water, this is common sense, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care about this, all the guards who take off their clothes and then jump into the water to save people are disloyal, and they will all be beheaded, and they will be greatly rewarded if they jump into the water to save people without taking off their clothes. It's really speechless.
Gossip is not mentioned, and the text is narrated.
If Datong City is not closed, these four chief military officers can take the soldiers in to see the excitement, and if nothing else, it is also good to brush up on the sense of existence.
Now that they know that the left battalion is basically abolished, they all have a common mind, that is, to take the opportunity to annex the men and horses of the left battalion, but unfortunately Qi Jiguang is sitting there, how dare they move around, they can only wait patiently for the opportunity to come.
Outside the post house, the murderous aura rose like a thick fog, and gradually formed a substance-like fog.
The guards were all cold, and they felt their skin scraped by the blade, and they couldn't help but clench the handle of the knife in their hands.
Those who pulled the bow pulled even tighter, almost breaking the bowstring. Those who were about to light the firestring of the hairpin were even more trembling, and some couldn't help but want to light the firerope.
"Steady, don't fire without an order." Ji Chang shouted.
He was also cold, with the feeling of a steel knife scraping his bones, but he was still resisting as much as he could.
Murong Yanran sneered: "Don't waste your time, if you let you escape today, I will kill myself." ”
This killing machine was stimulated by the overdraft potential of the five gray men, and it caused the echo of outsiders. Under the combination of inside and outside, the killing machine is like a tide, and this murderous aura alone can suffocate people.
However, the revelation of this killing machine is not costless, but it is stimulated by overdrawing life potential, and it can't support much time, if they can't break the game, they have to lie down if they don't die of exhaustion.
They can't make a desperate gamble to break the game, because they can't be sure if they can survive or not, if not, then they will use their lives to make a way for others, none of these people are alive, they will not do this kind of thing.
This also shows the importance of teamwork, if they are all people within the White Lotus Sect, at this time, they will naturally be able to prioritize and protect who sacrifices whom, and they will make a decision in an instant.
Just like in the basement of the capital, several of the subordinates of the Great Elder Xiao Yanfeng resolutely gave up their lives for the safety of the Great Elder and the Holy Maiden, just to drag the Jinyi Guard and the Great Inner Guards who came to arrest for a while, so that the Great Elder and the Holy Maiden could escape safely.
These five gray-clothed people are all guests of the White Lotus Sect, and they are not as united as the Five Holy Envoys, they are all the most refined egoists, let them sacrifice their lives for others, this kind of stupid thing is not willing to do anything, even if everyone has to die here in the end, then they are willing.
This is the ill of egoists.
There is nothing wrong with egoism, as the old saying goes: if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will perish.
Sometimes, however, when a trade-off is necessary, pure egoism may be the most dangerous of all.
Among those people on the periphery, there are many comrades and allies of the White Lotus Sect, such as the two lamas of the Yellow Sect and the two lamas of the Red Sect, all of whom are waiting for the opportunity to save people, but unfortunately, as long as they make a move, they will inevitably suffer from internal and external attacks first, and of course they are not willing to take the slightest risk for the lives of a few allies.
The same is true for the people in the White Lotus Sect, if it was their insiders in the circle, they would have rushed in regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, but they were just their guests, which was very different.
What they are thinking about now is not how to rescue these five people, but how to rescue the Lord of the Yan Helm, that is their main goal, but unfortunately the Lord of the Yan Helm has been taken to the inner layer of the post house, they can't force their way in, the Jinyi Guards are a full 10,000 people here, not to mention the 10,000 brave and fierce Jinyi Guards, even 10,000 wooden stakes, which are enough to block them for half a day, at this time, those who are staring at them will have a chance to start.
The situation here is so tense and yet strangely balanced, as if no one can go on forever without moving now.
Of course, this is impossible, first of all, the five gray-clothed people in the circle can't hold it, not to mention that one person still has Jiu Niang's broken love silk around his neck.
Murong Yanran was sure in her heart at the moment, she had locked on these five gray-clothed people, whoever moved first would die first, and then there might be two who could get away with it, and the one who was caught around her neck by the broken silk was also bound to die, as long as Murong Yanran moved, Jiu Niang would do it at the same time, and this person's head would roll down.
She was not in a hurry to kill these people, she was ready to kill them before dealing with the people outside.
Outside, there are people from the Qinwang faction, people from the Quanzhen Sect, and even masters of the king's organization.
When the Monarch Organization heard that it was going to go deep into the desert to adventure, it was not willing to be lonely, and sent experts to track and protect it, which was actually to brush up on the sense of existence, so that Gongzi knew that their Monarch Organization was still loyal and reliable, and never forgot the fact that Gongzi was the co-leader of the various factions of the Qinwang faction.
However, they rarely show up, and they still follow the old rules and protect them in secret.
It was precisely because of their existence that those White Lotus Sect people and their allies had no way to do it. Everyone was pinned.
Those who fish in troubled waters are even worse, as long as they make a move, they will be regarded as enemies by both opposing sides, and they will be hit hard together, so they are just watching dryly, but they are reluctant to leave.
"Sister Murong, just abolish those five guys, I'll look outside, I'll get rid of those who escaped from your hands." A master of the Quanzhen Sect proposed.
"Why bother, it's still so good, I like to kill without moving, this is the smell." Murong Yanran smiled.
"It's not a way to drag it like this."
"What are you anxious about, they should be in a hurry." Murong Yanran seemed to be enjoying the current situation and was in no hurry to change it.
Jiuniang also thinks this is very funny, these five guys are like sculptures, she is leisurely, strolling around, looking right, and holding the dog rope in her hand, as long as she moves, the person's head will come down.
Broken love thread, broken head.
"Master, do you want me to finish one first, and then set another one." Jiuniang said with a grin.
"Don't move." Murong Yanran hurriedly stopped, she didn't want to give the other party any chance to break the situation now.
The noses of these five people are crooked, what does this stinky girl do with them? Playing with monkeys, she doesn't know that these heads are very noble.
But no one can do anything about it, and now it can only be consumed like this.
They don't move on the surface, but the inner qi is speeding up, giving full play to their potential, stimulating the killing machine, and when this killing force is completely connected, and then twisted into a rope, they can use this to kill people and get out.
However, they also knew that Murong Yanran would not let them succeed easily, and it was likely that they would strike first, in that case, they could also escape the two, and it would depend on who was unlucky and became Murong Yanran's target.
If Xiao Jun is here, Murong Yanran's side can have one more general, but Murong Yanran is not at ease, so she would rather maintain this dangerous balance here than Xiao Jun stay here and become a Dinghai Divine Needle.
