Chapter 56: A Crisis Comes

"Strategist, is this Baiyun Sect very unusual?" Hao Jian looked at Liu Ji with a solemn expression and couldn't help asking.

"General, this Baiyun Sect is indeed unusual. The White Cloud Sect can be said to be the most transcendent force in the world, not subject to any country, and self-contained, but it is extremely prestigious among the countries in the world. It can be said that for the people of the Baiyun Sect, all countries in the world are quite jealous, and the officials of various countries are even more afraid of hearing about it, and the evildoers are afraid to avoid it. Liu Ji said leisurely.

"Tell me in detail, what kind of existence is this Baiyun Sect?" Hao Jian was greatly intrigued by Liu Ji's words.

"To put it simply, Bai Yunzi, the suzerain of the Baiyun Sect, once announced to the world the slogan of three killings: one is to kill tyrants and cool officials, the second is to kill evildoers, and the third is to kill those who betray the country and seek glory. That's what Bai Yunzi said, and that's what he did. Bai Yunzi adopted orphans from all countries in the world, cultivated them from an early age, and then divided the disciples into four gates of heaven and earth and Xuanhuang according to their qualifications and skills.

Among them, the disciples of Tianmen are his personal disciples, not only do they have amazing martial arts, but they are also proficient in military affairs and strategy, among which there are four Tianmen disciples with the highest status in Baiyun Sect. The other three disciples were not known for their martial arts, but specialized in the art of a hundred crafts, such as agriculture, sword casting, iron smelting, carpentry, masonry, mechanics, pharmacy, poisonology, stars, yin and yang, kanyu, divination, and so on. And in addition to these four disciples, there are also outer disciples God Slayer Swordsman and Tiger Swordsman. The Divine Swordsman was the main force that carried out the assassination activities, while the Tiger Swordsman was responsible for defending the Baiyun Sect's main courtyard. “

Listening to Liu Ji's introduction, Hao Jian was amazed, there was such an organization in this world, which reminded him of the Mo family in the Warring States Period, how similar the ideas of this Baiyun Sect were to the Mo family. Even the settings of the disciples are extremely similar.

"Strategist, how can this white cloud, is everything he has learned in the world in his chest alone?" Hao Jian asked in surprise.

"The Baiyun Sect has existed for nearly a hundred years, which means that the old Baiyunzi has at least a hundred years old. Although few people have seen his traces over the years, the traces of the White Cloud Sect have appeared in various countries from time to time. There was once the emperor of the Jin Kingdom in the south because of the tyranny of the government, so he was personally sent out by Bai Yunzi, led the swordsman to break into the palace and take him away, brought to the Baiyun General Hospital, set up a political platform, and questioned him for his tyranny and evil deeds, and finally the Jin Emperor was speechless and willing to be killed, and his head was sent back to the imperial city of the Jin State, so it shook the world, so that many tyrannical emperors were greatly frightened and restrained a lot.

And the most recent time, there was a general soldier in the south of the Ming Dynasty who slaughtered hundreds of people when he was suppressing bandits, and then was found out by Baiyunzong, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, he sent a god swordsman to kill the general soldier in the thousands of troops, and took away his head, and appeared on the gate of the capital ten days later. The incident shocked the world, and I was traveling in the capital at the time, so I witnessed it with my own eyes. “

Speaking of the past, Liu Ji still sighed.

"It's so tough? They kidnapped the emperor and assassinated the generals of the imperial court, and the imperial courts of various countries sat idly by? Hao Jian asked puzzled.

"No country in the world wants to exterminate the White Cloud Sect, but why the White Cloud Sect can survive for a hundred years without falling, it is naturally because the White Cloud Sect naturally has extremely strong strength. Not to mention anything else, even the place where the Baiyun Sect General Courtyard is located is not known to a few people, it is said to be among the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, but there are high mountains and deep valleys, mountains and mountains, roads are difficult to travel, and miasma is rampant, ordinary people can't enter at all, let alone the army? Moreover, Bai Yunzi is proficient in all kinds of techniques to defend the city, and the main courtyard of the Baiyun Sect is also impregnable, and even if a large army enters, it will be trapped in it. Therefore, the countries of the world do not want to, but they can't. ”

"I see, it's unbelievable that there is such a strong strength in the world. However, I think that although this Baiyun Sect is feared by the imperial courts of various countries, it should be very popular among the people, right? Hao Jian was amazed, and asked after a deep groan.

"Yes, the purpose of the Baiyun Sect is to destroy tyranny and wicked people, and traitorous thieves, so it naturally wins the respect of the people, and some people even set up the Baiyun Temple to pray for the blessing of the old Baiyunzi."

After hearing this, Hao Jian was even more admired and admired in his heart, this Bai Yunzi is simply a strange person among strange people.

If Bai Jinxiu really came from the Baiyun Sect, then it would explain why she was so bold before, of course, in Hao Jian's opinion, it was a bit of a brain-dead impulsive behavior.

With such a tough backer as a background, no wonder I am so arrogant, if I also have such a big backer, it will definitely be even more embarrassing.

Hearing Liu Ji say this, many of Hao Jian's previous doubts about Bai Jinxiu were easily solved.

But in this case, it is very likely that Bai Jinxiu's purpose in going down the mountain is to investigate the tyranny and evil deeds, will he be eyeing himself? Hao Jian was suddenly a little worried.

But when I think about it, it doesn't seem to be, I have only been here for a few days, and I have a life-saving grace for Bai Jinxiu, and not only does not have the so-called evil deeds, but instead exterminates the evil bandits and horse thieves, and saves the people from the hands of the Tartars, this is a great act of kindness, if the Baiyun Sect knows that it should reward this adult.

Thinking about it like this, Hao Jian was relieved, but he still had to be careful in the future, he couldn't easily provoke Bai Jinxiu, lest he find a group of god-killing swordsmen at every turn and cut him down.

Master Hao, who thought that he should not have anything to do with the White Cloud Sect in this life, did not expect that his connection with the White Cloud Sect in this life was so deep that it would deeply affect the world.

Of course, this is all for later, at least what Lord Hao wants to do now is to hide in this valley and strengthen himself, kill more Tartars, gather more people, train more soldiers, so that he can gain a firm foothold in this new world.

I asked Liu Ji about Baiyun Sect again, and Hao Jian was even more amazed when he heard it.

After saying this for a long time, both of them were a little hungry in their stomachs, and when they were about to let someone pass the meal, the military commander Li Jian hurriedly came and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Commander Ran Wu sent scouts to send back urgent information. ”

Hao Jian was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Pass in." ”

Li Jian went out and quickly brought in a soldier, who was in a hurry, and came to Hao Jian and saluted proudly and said loudly: "My lord, in the northeast of Hulu Valley, there are about 1,000 Tartars in the direction of Datong. Commander Ran Wu judged that it was the vanguard of the Tartars, and the Tartars might intend to attack Datong City, and his subordinates were ordered to come and report back. ”

"Tartars attacking Datong?" Hao Jian's brows suddenly furrowed when he heard this.

Ran Wu's judgment should not be wrong, if these Tartars came out just to fight the Grass Valley, then there were obviously a bit too many people.

With so many people still judged by Ran Wu to be the vanguard, it is obviously very likely that the Tartars want to fight Datong.

"Where is Ran Wu now?" Hao Jian asked.

"Commander Ran Wu is following behind the Tartar in order to further confirm the Tartar's movements." Scout returns.

"Okay, I know, you go back and tell Ran Wu, let him do the camera, and once it is verified, report back quickly." Hao Jian said categorically.

"No!" The scout received the order, turned and quickly left.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Hao Jian turned to Liu Ji, he now found that this old fox's belly has a lot of inventory, which can be regarded as a living encyclopedia of this era.

And after getting along with each other for a while, I found that this old fox is very measured in his life and work, and he is a smart person in the end, and there is nothing to doubt about it, so he is much less defensive against Liu Ji, so he is willing to discuss many things with him.

"General, I think that Commander Ran Wu's analysis is very likely. According to the understanding below, the Tartars would not have sent so many people if they hit the grass valley. If they really want to fight Datong City, then we will be in danger. Liu Ji stroked his beard and said slowly.

Hao Jian also understood this truth, it was only more than two hundred miles from Datong City to Hulu Valley, and if the cavalry attacked, it would only take one day.

If the Tartars occupy Datong, it will not only directly poison the people near Datong, but also become a nail in the coffin for the Tartars to attack Daming in the south.

For the Ming Dynasty, it lost a very important bridgehead on the border to resist the Tartars, and from then on it would be very passive. From Datong to the south, it is basically a smooth road, and the cavalry of the Tartars can run as far as they want, which is a very big threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, if the Tartars are allowed to occupy Datong City, then the threat to Hulu Valley is even more direct.

The Tartar's nest is in the north of the Gourd Valley, and Datong City is in the southwest of the Gourd Valley, so that the Tartars can threaten the Gourd Valley from the north and south, which is absolutely unacceptable to Hao Jian.

"Military Division, Datong City is so important, the Ming Imperial Court will definitely not sit idly by, it should send a large army to support, right?" Hao Jian asked uncertainly.

"General, the Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, internal rogues are raging, the imperial army is chasing and intercepting on all sides, and the troops are simply overstretched, leaking everywhere. As far as I know, the imperial court has not sent more troops to Datong City for three years. And now that the imperial treasury is empty, coupled with the old age of the emperor, and the vassal kings below are a little ready to move, I think the imperial court has no extra troops to support Datong at all, and can only rely on Datong's existing forces to resist the Tartars. ”

Liu Ji sighed.

Hao Jian didn't expect that the situation was so grim, and such a huge Ming Empire would fall to this point, you are tantamount to directly pushing Lord Ben to the cusp.

This Nima's Zhu Yuanzhang is really not the original Zhu Yuanzhang, this is simply a copy of Emperor Chongzhen.

Thinking about the original history of the Ming Dynasty, the difficulties of the situation in the Chongzhen Dynasty, even if Zhu Yuanzhang really came back to life and became the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky.

So what should I do? Hao Jian had to think seriously about this question.
