"You don't talk nonsense, what Gu Yongshan looks like, don't you know? He is not a Ming monarch at all, I rebelled in accordance with the time of heaven, for the sake of the thousand-year-old country of my Shengwu Dynasty. The king of Dongzhou County stood on the tower of Lintianguan and shouted loudly.

"You fart, your purpose is for the position of the emperor, and you do not hesitate to lead the entire Dongzhou into the war for that position. How can a narrow-minded person like you be an emperor. ”

Wei Changfeng was also furious when he heard such extremely shameless words from the people on the city tower.

"As long as I am the emperor, you can naturally see my merits. I've been here for more than 100 years, and it's not like I'm going to be able to manage it well. ”

"Dongzhou has been a smooth continent since ancient times, as long as you are not a fool, you can manage this place well, you are also considered a merit?"

"In that case, then I don't have anything to say, see you on the battlefield."

"Fight to fight, you think I'm going to be afraid of you."

The two couldn't talk at all, and directly announced the start of war.

"Soldiers of Dongzhou, your county king is rebelling against the imperial court, you follow him, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, are you sure you still have to die for him?"

When Wei Changfeng said this, the entire Dongzhou army was a little shaken.

When Xu Ru saw this situation, he naturally couldn't let Wei Changfeng continue, so he immediately spoke: "General Wei's words are wrong. Today's court is full of traitorous ministers, and what the prince has to do is to clear the monarch's side and get rid of traitorous ministers. You can't see the good intentions of the prince, but instead send troops to attack, what is the reason? ”

"The traitor is in charge, where is the traitor from the court? It is clear that you are using swords and soldiers for your own selfish desires. ”

"There are no traitors in the court, so how did the disaster relief tax come from? Since the founding of my Shengwu Dynasty, I have never heard of any disaster relief taxes. If it weren't for the instigation of traitors, would the emperor have set up a disaster relief tax? ”

Xu Ru, who was standing in the city tower, asked directly about the shortcomings of the imperial court of disaster relief tax.

"This."

Although Wei Changfeng wanted to say that this was something proposed by the prime minister, once he said the prime minister, wouldn't he not confess to himself and admit that there were traitors in the court, and he was also an important minister of the court, the prime minister.

"General Wei has nothing to say, the prince is dedicated to the court. But you led a large army to attack Dongzhou, who led Dongzhou into the flames of war? ”

Xu Ru put Wei Changfeng into his trap step by step.

Seeing that Wei Changfeng was about to fall into the trap of words, Zhang Cheng walked out.

"Your Excellency is Xu Ru, the military advisor of Dongzhou, right?"

"Yes, may I ask Your Excellency?"

Xu Ru, who was upstairs in Lintianguan City, saw a person wearing black armor walking out of the army, and asked Zhang Cheng's identity as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Zhang Cheng, a native of the Mountain and Wild Dao, is now the national teacher of the Shengwu Dynasty."

Xu Ru looked at Zhang Cheng, and the person in front of him was the national teacher of the Shengwu Dynasty who had seen through his series of strategies. This made Xu Ru's heart alarmed.

The wise men of both sides met for the first time in this situation.

"Is there no one in the imperial court, it is really a joke to let a mountain and wild Taoist become a national teacher."

Xu Ru opened his mouth and said that the court did not know anyone, and let a Taoist priest become the national teacher of the imperial court.

Doesn't this just show that the court employs people, and doesn't distinguish between the birth of this person, doesn't it just show the generosity of the court? On the contrary, Dongzhou employs people, must pay attention to the birth of talents, isn't that the way to never rise in the cold door? ”

Xu Ru's heart sank, the national teacher of the imperial court in front of him was obviously a difficult character to deal with.

"The Taoist is not cultivating in the mountains, why do you want to go down the mountain and wade into this troubled water?"

"The troubled times are coming, and the Daomen will save the world from the mountain."

"Dao Chief, Jiuzhou is calm, where is the troubled times coming?"

"Aren't you the one who provoked troubled times?"

"Dao Chief, you're just joking. Xu Ru is not talented, he is just a literati, how can he be provoked

Gone. ”

Zhang Cheng smiled again: "You are a literati, it's not simple. If it weren't for the poor road to follow the army, I am afraid that the army at this time would have been flooded to the sky. ”

"Dao Chief, the two armies are at war, and they should be plotting everywhere, why can't I do this?"

"It's okay, it's just that your plan has hurt too many lives, and the poor road has to take care of it."

Seeing that this topic couldn't win against Zhang Cheng, Xu Ru hurriedly changed the topic: "I don't know how to look at today's imperial court?" ”

"Domestic and external difficulties require reform."

"Dao Chief, but you want to be this reformer?"

"Poor and talented, willing to give it a try."

Zhang Cheng made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to change this era.

"What an arrogant tone, the Taoist chief has just entered the court, and he understands how much government politics, so he vainly mentions reform. I'm afraid that the Taoist chief is the traitor in the court. ”

Xu Ru accentuated his tone, as if Zhang Cheng was a traitor to the imperial court.

Zhang Cheng smiled and disagreed: "Dare to ask Xu Rujunshi, how many years have you been in politics?" ”

"No, 34 years."

"In the past 34 years, you have been the military advisor of Dongzhou, what achievements have you made?"

"This."

Xu Ru found that he couldn't find any outstanding merits in himself.

"Poor and talented, with the emperor to manage the drought and flood in Nanzhou, rescue countless people in Nanzhou. After arriving in Shengjing, he felt that the court needed to be reformed. Poor Dao is willing to be the first in the world, why not be a reformer? ”

Zhang Cheng said his exploits and asked the people of the city tower.

"You can't do it."

At this time, Xu Ru couldn't find a reason to fight back against Zhang Cheng.

"Then why did Dongzhou raise the anti-flag and rebel against the court when the court was reforming?"

This sentence goes straight to the crux of the Dongzhou rebellion.

"Dongzhou is not rebelling against the imperial court, but to get rid of traitorous ministers."

Zhang Cheng directly asked: "The imperial court, where did the traitor come from?" ”

"What about the disaster relief tax? Disaster relief is the work of the imperial court, and it has a relationship with the people of the world, but the imperial court actually wants to collect disaster relief taxes? ”

Not to be outdone, Xu Ru also asked rhetorically.

"The disaster relief tax is a product of the reform of the court, but the court still has a measure, that is, after paying the disaster relief tax, there is no need to pay this year's county tax, didn't you tell the people of Dongzhou the news?"

Zhang Cheng said with a serious face, and Xu Ru was wondering if there was such a thing.

The king of Dongzhou County stood up: "Zhang Cheng, you are spewing blood, there is no such thing at all." ”

"I am the national teacher of the imperial court, how could I deceive you on such a policy. It must be the king of the county that you are afraid that your property will be damaged, so you did not give this order. ”

"If this king wants money, just add a reason, why deceive the people in this way."

"Then the king of the county, where did the money come from for the armor you bought weapons?"

"It's inconvenient for me to say."

The king of Dongzhou County was afraid that Zhang Cheng would ask this, so Zhang Cheng asked.

"It's inconvenient to say, I'm afraid you added a lot of taxes without permission. What else do you say in addition to traitors, I think you are the biggest traitor in the court. General Wei, siege the city. ”

Under Lintian Pass, Zhang Cheng informed Wei Changfeng that he had attacked the city. It's useless to talk to the people of Dongzhou, they are destined not to surrender,

"Yes. Besiege. ”

After Wei Changfeng received Zhang Cheng's order, he mobilized the army and began to red dust.

On the other side, on the top of the city tower of Lintianguan, Xu Ru asked the king of Dongzhou County in a low voice.

"Lord Wang, what is the matter, can't you say it at this time?"

The king of Dongzhou County whispered to the people around him: "Tomb robbery." ”

When Xu Ru heard this, his face changed, the matter of robbing the tomb, the thief can do it, but the king of the county can never do it.

"Lord, now we have to defend our plan."

"Don't worry, the supplies are enough. will fight a war of attrition with the imperial court, and the imperial court will withdraw after a few months of fighting. ”

The king of Dongzhou County gave Xu Ru a package ticket.

On the other side, the imperial army began to attack the city.

Lintianguan is 30 zhang high, and there are high mountains on both sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The ladder prepared by the imperial court was not so high at all, and it could only forcibly storm the city gate.

However, the city gate of Lintianguan is made of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, not a powerhouse in the realm of heaven and earth, and it cannot be opened manually at all, but can only be ground little by little.

"National teacher, it's not okay to attack the city like this, we can't touch the city wall of Lintianguan at all."

Seeing that it was difficult for the soldiers to attack the city tower of Lintianguan, Wei Changfeng was a little anxious.

"Back then, how did the founding emperor of the Shengwu Dynasty lay down the Lintian Pass?"

"He is a master of the Heaven and Earth Realm, and he directly blasted open the gate of Lintian Pass, and then the army entered it."

Wei Changfeng replied very seriously.

"When I didn't ask."

Looking at this towering Lintian Pass, for a while, Zhang Cheng actually had no way to break through it.

"How many feet is the longest of our ladder?"

"There are 20 zhang of them, and they are generally made of the trunk of a cloud-shaded tree."

"In other words, it's still 10 zhang away, right?"

"Yes."

Wei Changfeng replied.

"10 zhang, 30 meters. Since we can't make the ladder increase by 30 meters, let's make the earth grow by 30 meters. ”

Zhang Cheng, who knew what to expect, suddenly thought of a solution at this time.

"National teacher, how can you make the earth grow by 30 meters, 30 meters, that's not a small number."

"Protect the Dharma for me, don't let me disturb me."

"National teacher, what are you going to do?"

"Put the ground, add 30 meters. Wei Changfeng, you withdraw the army. ”

"Yes."

Then Wei Changfeng commanded the army of the imperial court and began to retreat.

The army of the imperial court began to retreat, but the army of Dongzhou was a little puzzled about how the army of the imperial court had withdrawn.

On the other side, Zhang Cheng's Yuan Shen began to operate mana, and a huge gossip array appeared on the ground.

"The kun of gossip, the gente of gossip. Mountains and earth built cities. ”

The original god began to use his mana, and a large amount of soil was transferred from the high mountains on the east and west sides.

Although Lintianguan is 30 zhang high, it is only 7 zhang wide. So there are not many places that Zhang Cheng needs to pile up.

Zhang Cheng began to build a slope under Lintian Pass, and the slope degree was only 30 °C, so it was not difficult for people to rush up.

Above the slope, there is a 5-meter platform, which is where the ladder is erected. In front of the platform, there is the city wall of Lintianguan.

"National Teacher, do you really want to build a platform that allows us to attack the city layer by layer?"

Looking at the high platform that suddenly appeared in front of him, Wei Changfeng was a little surprised.

"Yes, yes."

"National teacher, but don't we have a secret hand, just wait for them to send a signal."

Obviously there is a secret hand, but at this moment, Wei Changfeng is a little incomprehensible.

"If we only besiege and not attack, Xu Ru will definitely be able to guess what we are waiting for. At this time, the only thing that can make us wait is the secret hand in Lintian Pass. Xu Ru will definitely strengthen the guarding of the city gate, but they have no chance, what we have to do is to make the army of Dongzhou all tired. That's when the opportunity came. ”

Zhang Cheng slowly explained to Wei Changfeng the reason why the army wanted to attack the city. 2k reading web
