XXXII. The giant beast rises in the sea through the waves
Although Xiao Yao is angry, and Lu Zhenying is depressed, he is not a person who admits death and does not admit his account. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Zhenying thought back to what Dong Caiqi said and asked, "Senior Sister Xiaoyao, aren't we too pedantic?"
Xiao Yao snorted a few times, shook his head and said, "What they want is big, they are in a hurry, and they don't take human life seriously." If you want to live in peace for a long time, you can use their methods to dig your own grave. ”
Suddenly, he heard a coiling voice behind him, and he said: "We are marching rapidly, like thunder, there is no place for the time being, if there is no intention of surrender in the places we pass, even if we suppress it on a large scale, it is not all impossible." ”
Lu Zhenying was frightened and asked, "You mean.... Even if you slaughter the whole city, will you not hesitate to do it?"
Pan Xuan was silent for a long time, and said: "In the battlefield, life is like ants. At this point, all chivalrous compassion, etiquette and morality have become jokes. We are all executioners, either killing or being killed. Those who are not my friends are all enemies. If the handsome person is soft-hearted, hesitates, cares about his reputation, and does nothing, then he is not doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, but a traitor in the army and a sinner of the country. Therefore, chivalry is not allowed in the army, and the military disdain chivalry. ”
Xiao Yao sneered: "What a stirring quibble. If you have the intention of slaughtering the city in your heart, what is the difference between you and Yama, the king of Hades?"
Pan Xuan sighed: "Lord, let me ask you, do you say that if we don't attack, but just defend the city, the thirty countries of the Snow Ridge will show mercy and finally reconcile with your Lengzhou Kingdom?"
Xiao Yao thought for a moment, and didn't want to talk nonsense against his will, so he had to say: "Everyone has a deep grudge, and they can't be reconciled." ”
"Then in the end, most of the Lengzhou Kingdom was annexed by the Snow Ridge States?" did you say that at that time, will the Snow Ling Kingdom also kill and kill the people?"
Xiao Yao said: "We have killed countless soldiers of the Snow Ridge Country, they know that we are stubborn, and they can't rest assured, and most of them intend to retaliate." ”
If the enemy treats me with kindness, defeats and surrenders, and there is no betrayal, our army should repay the favor. If the enemy has bad intentions, pretends to surrender, and secretly causes chaos, our army will be ruthless and will never suffer in the future. Famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes may be ashamed, but martial arts gangs fight, don't they often cut down the grass and eradicate the roots? ”
Lu Zhenying asked: "Senior brother, if it is as you say, isn't it nonsense that the sage said that 'the benevolent are invincible'?"
Pan Xuan said with a smile: "A single sentence of 'the benevolent is invincible', that is a misinterpretation of the meaning of the saint." If you are weak and deceitful, and you are profitable, no matter how righteous you are, you will inevitably be provoked. The truth is preached after victory, and then the enemy will listen. Therefore, they salute first and then the soldiers, and then return the salute after the soldiers. It's not as simple as 'the benevolent are invincible'. ”
Lu Zhenying said: "However, if you do things too desperately, it will cause public anger, and when you meet enemies on all sides, there will be endless wars." ”
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, his fingers running across the snow, he soon drew many dots. He said: "Before it was rumored that Emperor Xuanyuan unified the tribes, there were constant disputes between the various tribes. Three or four of the ten men died in the war, and the greater the hatred, the more bloody and brutal the killing. It was a sporadic battle, and there was no great war, but the tragedy was also appalling.
Then Emperor Xuanyuan spent ten years, gathered a large army, fought in the east and west, and fought against the unsubdued tribes, killing tens of millions of people at every turn, so the corpses became mountains, blood became rivers, the heavens and the earth were discolored, and the sun and moon were dull. However, in the end, the two warring parties, including their respective civilians, only one or two out of ten people suffered casualties, which was far better than the tragic situation in the past.
Then all the people returned to their hearts, the war stopped, Emperor Xuanyuan issued a decree, the various ministries were integrated into the city, the city became the country, the country was strict, no private fights were allowed, and there were guards in the country, and the law was ruthless. So the world was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, there were no more casualties, and in ten years, not a single person died among the hundreds.
Therefore, after the war, there will be a winner, and the winner will be right, ruling the world, the people will be at peace, and the war will stop. Therefore, it is better to fight apart than to be united. The autonomy of the ministries is not as good as the unification of the powers. Now that we are conquering the countries of Xueling, we will inevitably increase the killing in the future, but we only need to use the right means to appease the people and eliminate disputes afterwards, which is a great act of kindness, far better than sporadic small favors. ”
Xiao Yao listened patiently for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and said: "According to what you said, the wars of the past and present are actually good deeds?
Pan said: "War is also beneficial and useless. Those who do good do good, and those who do not do good are evil. If you intimidate the multitudes with the fierceness of war, you will be able to win without a fight in the future, and in my heart, this is also a good deed. ”
Xiao Yao and Lu Zhenying asked in unison: "What is beneficial then?
He paused slightly, and said: "If you fight and kill, you can create a giant beast, that giant beast is awe-inspiring, standing between heaven and earth, inviolable, feared by hundreds of millions of people, and has no courage to exceed the rules, so the whole world surrenders, and there is no blood, that is beneficial, otherwise it is harmful." ”
Lu Zhenying muttered, "Giant beast, giant beast?"
Xiao Yao asked, "What is a giant beast?"
Pan Xuan stood up, pointed to Dong Caiqi's tent, and then pointed to himself, and said, "Me and Caiqi are both giant beasts to mortals. ”
The two men were shocked by his words, and for a moment they looked confused and surprised. He saluted with his fists and returned to the tent, and soon after, the sound of his and Dong Caiqi's arguments was heard again.
After another half an hour, Dong Caiqi left 10,000 horses, stationed in this city, set out again, braved the wind and snow, hurried through the ice canyon, attacked the city at night, within one day, even under the city of Yangzhou, Nansu City, the enemy was defeated, a touch of the scattered, their own damage was slight, more than 10,000 prisoners, but also captured blades, armor, grain and grass, countless.
After two days of recuperation in Nansu City, Dong Caiqi sent spies to inquire about the situation of the White Horse City in the White Horse Kingdom, and received a report: In this city, it is rumored that it is blessed by the gods, the lord of the country is wise, and has the ability to predict the unknown, and the soldiers are brave and brave, and they can fight a hundred enemies. Now that he has learned the news of the invasion of Lengzhou, he has gathered an army of 100,000 people to guard the city, and there are many ice-throwing carts, which are really impregnable and unbreakable.
The generals comprehended the big tent, and then discussed the military situation, Xiao Yao said: "According to this situation, if we attack and suffer heavy losses, we have already obtained the three cities of the White Horse Kingdom, and the remaining one city can be planned for a long time, so there is no need to rush for a while." ”
"As long as the White Horse Lord is still there, the remaining three cities will not be stable, not to mention that the rest of the countries will never sit idly by and let us confront each other." The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, and tomorrow morning our army will go out to attack this White Horse City. ”
Cao Su's sweetheart Tang Ziye is the vanguard of the army, seeing that the enemy army is well defended, he is deeply afraid that his lover will suffer in this battle, and hurriedly said: "Everyone is tired for several days, and it is time to take a good rest. ”
Dong Caiqi lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Senior Brother, if this is the case, there is no need for everyone to take risks in this battle. ”
Pan Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Then I will go with you." ”
Dong Caiqi's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's okay to do it occasionally." ”
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Xiao Yao asked, "Could it be that you want the Immortal Elder to help?"
Dong Caiqi nodded and passed down the order, among which there was only the order to march, but there was no siege strategy. After the whole army received the order, they all felt strange, but she was strict in governing the army, and no one questioned it.
Early the next morning, the army went out of the city, and soon came to the white horse city, which is also a great city that has experienced hundreds of years of wind and frost, with a vast territory, high walls and thick walls, standing in the mountains, and the terrain in front is open, which can be attacked and defended.
Dong Cai ordered the army to move forward, and when they reached three miles in front of the city, they stopped.
At this time, the wind and snow are urgent, and the fog between the sky and the earth is flying, and it is not real. Xiao Yao thought to himself: "I heard that there are many demon clan masters in White Horse City, and they are all extremely good. Even if the enemy's bow and arrow are inaccurate, the city wall is slippery, and we can't afford to erect a ladder, and in the cold wind, everyone can't support it for long. ”
Dong Caiqi turned over and dismounted, looked sideways, and saw that Pan Xuan was not far from her. The two nodded to each other, walked out of the army, and looked from the White Horse City, on the snow-covered earth, two small black dots faintly walked towards the city wall.
The sound of the wind and snow was like a ghost crying and howling, and the soldiers in front of the city wall all squinted their eyes, staring at the two people who were walking slowly, and thousands of people on the city wall set up bows and crossbows, condensing their strength, guessing that they were or the envoys who came to persuade them to surrender.
Lu Zhenying became more and more nervous, the chill seeped into her body from outside her body, and she couldn't help but tremble because of her deep internal strength.
All she thought to herself was, "Behemoth, Behemoth." ”
It is said that war will create a giant beast, and that the giant beast is naturally a bad omen for murder and devouring people, a symbol of bad luck. But he also said that the beast would be rewarded with peace and submission.
But isn't the beast itself evil? If it is evil, how can it make a warrior submit? Even if mortals fear the beast and surrender for the time being, how can they have no hatred in their hearts? This is not the right way, and one day it will cause trouble.
Dong Caiqi gave birth to wings behind him, and flew into the air against the momentum of the strong wind. Coiled on the flying sword, and soon followed.
Dong Caiqi said loudly: "Listen, the lord of the White Horse Kingdom, if you don't surrender, we will no longer show mercy to our subordinates." Her voice was extremely loud, covering the sound of the wind, resounding through the sky, shaking for dozens of miles, and even the city wall seemed to shake.
There were people on the city wall who shouted and cursed, but their voices were low and swallowed up by the wind. No one lays down his sword, or he may give in.
Dong Caiqi no longer persuaded each other, and suddenly the figure flashed, already on the city wall, the blood light in her palm floated, gradually growing, and actually absorbed blood from the bodies of dozens of people around her, and the wounded screamed loudly, instantly languishing to the ground, and the body was like dry bones.
A large crowd of people came up again, and scolded fiercely, and spears stabbed out at her, and Dong Caiqi raised his hand, and the large mass of blood and qi was like a net from heaven and earth, covering the past, and all the enemies were touched by her blood, and immediately the blood was also sucked out, and they were unable to fight again.
The blood ball rolled bigger and bigger, and soon it was twenty feet in diameter, and no one dared to step forward anymore, and everyone looked terrified.
There were two or three masters who moved sharply, rushing towards Dong Caiqi, each of them was extremely fast, and Lu Zhenying secretly thought that they were only slightly inferior to himself.
The feet of the coil did not move, the person was in the air, and suddenly the palm struck out, and suddenly the black snake surged, like a black wind and dark thunder, passing through the air, and the few people hurriedly resisted, but the coiling palm was heavy, and there were a few bangs, and the number of people vomited blood, flew far away, and it was difficult to continue for a while. He swept down with the force of his palm, knocking down the steely walls.
Dong Caiqi raised his hand, and the blood ball flew into the sky, and in an instant, the blood rain suddenly fell and hit the person, and the person suddenly wailed in pain, rolling into a ball, with countless wounds on his body, and blood was like a tide. The blood gathered again and turned into a great wave, smashing and engulfing the enemy, sucking the blood, and growing itself again. The white snow mist was dyed red, and the defenders of the city walls were in disarray, trying to escape, but they were surrounded by the waves of blood, and fell one after another, but they could not get close to the enemy a few feet away. Thousands of people have been victimized by this, their lives and deaths are unknown, and they can't afford to fall to the ground.
Lu Zhenying's eyes widened, staring at this tragedy, he couldn't stop trembling, at this point, the victory and defeat of the two sides have been divided, and the White Horse Kingdom has no will to fight, only surrender.
What kind of person is Dong Caiqi? How could she practice such kung fu? Doesn't she feel guilty and sad when she kills the killer so badly?
Even though Lu Zhenying is an enemy of White Horse City, he can now feel the thoughts of these enemies.
The woman's spell in front of her is far beyond imagination and incomprehensible, so the fear is excessive, and it becomes despair, and the desperate person will give birth to endless awe, and the unattainable strong will overwhelm the humble and insignificant weak, the strong will be merciful, and the weak will have no way out, only to go with the flow, to be swallowed up, to be eaten.
The beast can be a man or a nation.
It is to be ruthless with heaven and earth, and to take all things as dogs.
On the White Horse City, all the soldiers begged for mercy loudly, threw down their weapons one after another, and surrendered to the two giant beasts between heaven and earth.
