Chapter 013: The Hundred-Year Covenant (Part II)
The Centennial Covenant (Part II)
When the 200,000 militiamen were dispatched to various parts of the country, Li Hetian had to tearfully tell them the heartbreaking news.
"Bingzhou soldiers, don't blame me for being ruthless, but at this point in providence, I have no choice. Ten years ago, the stone fell, Bingzhou was devastated, I wanted to save Bingzhou in danger, restore the former majesty of Bingzhou, but everyone also saw that from the meteorite, Bingzhou has been full of strange things, dust, plague, animal tragic death, everyone is sluggish, even giving birth to children have fewer arms and more legs. Three years ago, just three years ago, you still remember that the soothsayer Lord Houtian was also helpless, and the treatment of the imperial doctor White Shell was a symptom but not a cure. Two months ago, the imperial court issued a document, which was sent down from Liuxian Mountain, and it was a prophecy of the witch god. Bingzhou has been invaded by flying stones outside the sky, which has destroyed the fortune of Bingzhou, which has led to strange things in Bingzhou, and the infirm are riddled with diseases. Worse still, the disease is as contagious as a plague. Therefore, Emperor Ming and his subordinates had no choice but to use the clumsy way of conscription to rescue healthy people from the pit, which was a time of crisis, and they had to kill a thousand by mistake. Fortunately, the 200,000 of you are still alive, and every pawn is the hope for the future of Bingzhou. I hope that you will live well and accumulate strength for the rise of Bingzhou in the future. The witch god said that he would send his followers to set up a spell barrier around Bingzhou to trap the sick demons in the array, preventing the plague from overflowing and hurting the outer counties, and the plague trapped in the array would be trapped and die in it after 200 years. We may not be able to return to the city of Hyoshu, but our children and grandchildren will be able to return to the place where we lived and grown. ”
The 200,000 soldiers who said these words wept again and again. There are complicated feelings in this cry, there are goodbyes to the family, there are worries about the future of the soldiers, and there are luck to be able to survive in the face of disasters, and the complex feelings of human nature have exploded at this moment. Of course, there are also some real men with strong blood and temperament, who vow to live and die with Bingzhou. But this sparse cry was like a stone thrown into the sea, drowning in this howl. The body was surrounded by the soldiers of Kuang County, and it was impossible to move.
In this way, these 200,000 soldiers were assigned to counties, villages, and armies. Before leaving, they gave another glance in the direction of Bingzhou. Some extremist militiamen used the method of self-harm to remember his roots -- holding a sharp tile on the ground on the back of his left hand, engraved with the word "Bingzhou", and the blood flowed without stopping, perhaps his blood moved the whistling north wind, and as soon as the wind blew, the blood stopped flowing.
This kind of bloody behavior also infected the surrounding Bingzhou people, and they followed suit. The weapons on his body have been surrendered, and he can only use ice ballast, stones, and gestures on his hands and arms. In the end, it was dyed with a little red on the streets of Kuaijun.
A few days later, there were indeed six members of the Witch God Cult who came to Kuangjun and entered Bingzhou. But instead of passing through the gates, they climbed over the walls. This move shocked the guards and regarded them as celestials.
I saw these six disciples standing in the territory of Bingzhou, evenly distributed throughout the city wall of five hundred miles, facing the city wall of Kuaijun, they took out a palm-sized charm from their sleeves, threw it into the sky, and silently recited "Heaven and earth burnt sacrifice, upside down nothing, the god of the underworld is in the column, no different vacuum." When the disciples in the other five places also completed this series of actions, they saw that the six charms on the city wall echoed each other, and the golden light rose instantly, and the city wall instantly became golden, as if it was gold.
The soldier was stunned, and his mouth was open, and his chin was about to be dislocated, "Immortal, immortal!" The cultists then had the soldiers seal the gates with sandstone bricks to prevent the plague from leaking out. So one by one, the guards moved the sand and stones to the city wall, and then threw them off the city wall to block the gate on the side of the city of Xiangbingzhou. The inner gate is made of sand mixed with glutinous rice juice and built with huge bricks.
Whenever the sun sets, stationed on the city wall of Kuaijun, looking at the direction of the sun setting in the west - Bingzhou. The blood-red lingers above the beacon mountains, the sunset has lost half of its head, and the incomparably bleak sunset is just a complementary background for the eerie and terrifying Bingzhou. There is no lifeless Bingzhou, and there is not a single figure walking around, maybe they are dead. It is said that at night, you can see the ghostly fires floating in the air, and the blue ghostly fires are floating in the distance.
Many soldiers standing in the city did not dare to stare at Bingzhou City too much, because when the wind blew from there, when it was in their ears, they seemed to hear a small voice mixed with the wind, "Come here, come here, there are a lot of lonely people here" This kind of provocative and charming girl's voice. The soldiers also had the urge to jump off the walls.
Since the day the city gate was blocked, people began to call "Bingzhou" a sick state.
Because, the child born to the newlywed Yan'er from the sick state is still a freak, so he blames the sick state for all the reasons. Previously, even gossipy women would have been skeptical. However, when the disciples who saw Liuxian Mountain personally descended the mountain to save the common people, the soldiers closed the gate of the city that had been built for more than 300 years. This statement is getting wider and wider. When asked about the newly assigned Bingzhou people, they could only acquiesce. Because what the people of the other counties say is the truth.
The Bingzhou people who served in the barracks were surprisingly calm this time. Because they haven't been back for at least thirteen years. The impression of home is just what it is imagined. Maybe their hearts, since thirteen years ago, after the meteorite fell to the ground, their families were ruined, and their wives were separated, they didn't want to return to that sad place, but they still cried, crying to say goodbye to their hometown.
Two flowers bloom, after the table of this one, let's talk about the one in the sick state city.
Gui Luan walked back to the palace in the city step by step with heavy steps, because as soon as the state lord left, he would take over Li Hetian to manage the affairs of Bingzhoucheng. What makes Gui Luan's steps heavy is not only his mood, but also his responsibility.
As soon as the first step stepped into the gate of the Bingzhou Mansion, the guard standing on the front teeth took out a letter in his arms.
"Report, my lord, this is entrusted to you by the state lord when he leaves, and I will hand it over to you when you see you off, Lord Gui. ”
Gui Luan anxiously closed the letterhead, tearing up the letter as he walked. I am afraid that this is a secret order, so that I can make other preparations to catch the enemy by surprise. There are a lot of words and they are very small, but Gui Luan still has the patience to read them word by word.
Brother Gui saw the letter like a face:
Brother Gui, when you open this letter, maybe I have become a sinner in Bingzhou, and I will be scolded by future generations for eternity. Now I'm going to tell you a secret. A secret that you and I will never see each other again in this life.
It all started three years ago, when the imperial court was sending people to treat and investigate the sick in Bingzhou, and the number of deformed children had reached 3,000. This is a frightening thing, whether it is for the children as individuals, or for families, or as soldiers. This is undoubtedly another devastating experience for families who have lost loved ones from the earthquake. I was born to be useful, and these children may really help Bingzhou in the future, but what I see is little hope. When I was frowning about it. Emperor Ming's secret envoy came, and he handed me a copy of a secret decree written by Emperor Ming himself. On the letter was written a plan, a plan to destroy the warstate.
The leader of the Witch God Sect personally went down the mountain and said to Emperor Ming that Bingzhou was already a place abandoned by the gods, and that a disaster would inevitably occur on that land, and that hundreds of thousands of lives must be used as a price to make Bingzhou as glorious as before, and this did not need to slaughter the city, but only needed to seal Bingzhou in the enchantment set by the sect leader, and let them fend for themselves. Two hundred years, it only takes two hundred years, and after two hundred years, Bingzhou will be like Bingzhou fifty years ago, so that other counties and enemies will be in awe.
When Emperor Ming hesitated, the sect leader gave him an even greater temptation, he could guarantee that within two hundred years, the Yiyun Kingdom would not be disturbed by the other five countries. Boldly and confidently develop agriculture and economy. Two hundred years later, it can become the most powerful of the six nations. Emperor Ming was moved.
However, Emperor Ming was afraid of Bingzhou's own military strength and resisted the blockade of the city, and his own army slaughtered each other, so he panicked that the enemy troops of the five countries were besieging Yiyun and transferred 200,000 strong men from Bingzhou. When I received the secret decree three years ago, I was also furious in my heart, the king who put the death of his subjects out of the way is not a good king, I also cursed Emperor Ming like this, but this is me who also cursed myself. He and I are actually the same dog.
Three years ago, I thought that I would lead the soldiers to defend the state three years later, but I was a scholar. The reason why he is a governor can manage 700,000 soldiers, the people of the state, and 50,000 soldiers. Relying on the right given by the imperial court, the right gives me the ability to punish the evil and promote the good, if anyone commits a crime, I can send people to arrest him and punish him. I relied on power rather than my own abilities. So I'm afraid that when the imperial court ignores the rape, killing, looting, murder and arson of Bingzhou, I don't have the ability to deploy troops. My incompetence will only lead the soldiers to rebel and help the wicked to rule.
So from then on, I started looking for a big man who could suppress 500,000 people in Bingzhou in the future, and I remembered you. So I started to train you, Wen Taowu, so that you can be on your own, and now is an opportunity. Manage Bingzhou well.
The reason why I didn't take your 20,000 soldiers with you is because only you can dispatch them. They are at your disposal. Now you are the king of Bingzhou City. Officials at all levels have stayed in the city, and as long as you can manage the army well, then the next two hundred years in Bingzhou will definitely be spent in peace and tranquility.
Don't try to break the gates of Kuaijun and Qingcheng. They must be heavily guarded, don't waste your life, live well.
Three years ago, I was ready for you to rule Bingzhou. Do you still remember Jiachen's youngest son, Jia Mingyun? He is the secretary of the Bingzhou Mansion, but he is very smart, and his father heard about this conspiracy and wanted Jia Mingyun to escape from the prison in Bingzhou as soon as possible, but he would rather die than die, he is really a real husband. Let him be your advisor.
Bingzhou is a thousand miles away and has many products. All kinds of strange books I have collected from Xiniu Hezhou are placed in my mansion, you can study them carefully, maybe you can find a cure for this strange disease, and you should also read more books on agricultural types, and if there is food to eat, the peasants will not rebel.
The government's grain stock has not been moved, which can be enough for two years.
......
Two hundred years later, you and I will have rotten flesh and bones. I will let future generations remember the fifth and sixth year of Yiyun, November and 4th. Go to Liuxian Mountain and the emperor to remind the monarch to open the gates of Kuai County and Qingcheng to Bingzhou.
Foolish brother
Li He Tianshang"
After reading this letter, Gui Luan's heart was indignant. crumpled the fist of the letter, and has been unwilling to let go.
The kindness of the past is now discounted. At the beginning, Li Hetian was really a discerning talent, or did he just want to find a substitute for the dead.
said that he was hypocritical, but every word in his heart was sincere.
But he struggled in his thoughts, he did not lose his mind, and attacking Qing and Kuai was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It is not difficult to manage 500,000 soldiers and civilians for thousands of miles of land. How to keep the people's hearts alive in the current difficult matter. He chose to stick to Bingzhou and wait for the arrival of two hundred years later.
"Master, I don't understand. The spirit stone that fell from the sky can already be regarded as something in our pocket, why do we still have to seal the state of Bingzhou. The world's complaints are not good. The ministers of Yiyun have also been more diligent in coming to Liuxian Mountain. ”
"Haha, if you guess, you're the leader. As soon as the sect leader said this, the attendants around him knelt down again in horror. "Hahahaha, I'm just talking, haha. This position is not easy to do, can you live in it!hahaha. The sect leader said this, but in his heart, he was still very satisfied with the performance of the attendant.
"The reason why I am doing this is to prepare for the day when the five gods will wake up! From now on, we will establish branches in various countries and start to grow the five gods. "The Master is showing his grandeur and ambition. In his heart, he wants to become the only god of Xiniu Hezhou and rule the entire Xiniu Hezhou.
"This ...... The five gods they ......" The sect leader saw that his close attendant was a little dissatisfied with his decision-making, and before he could finish speaking, he suddenly poked the back of his head with his little finger, and suddenly the attendant became unusually shriveled. The sect leader's mouth moved, and he blew lightly. The squire is gone—that's the real thing!
The heads of the prostrategies were lowered. At this time, the main hall can only appear brighter. But everyone's faces were still not clear. I only know that the sect leader's clothes are black, and the nearest one to him is night brown, followed by gray purple, blue red, blue blue, light blue, and pearl white. The color of the costume represents their character and cultivation.
