Chapter 14: The World Has Changed Dramatically

After coming out of the Lin family, Chu Shan went directly back to his hut. After Chu Shan heard that the Lin family was ready to use despicable methods against him, he immediately attacked first and killed the five people in the study. With Chu Shan's skills, it was simply effortless to kill five people who were not even third-rate masters, and without alarming anyone, Chu Shan completed the task. As for what to do if the Lin family found out later, this was not the situation that Chu Shan considered. After Chu Shan came back, he still began to meditate and cultivate as usual, although there was no substantial progress, but without accumulating steps, Chu Shan would not waste any time in cultivation, not to mention, Chu Shan now is the time to accumulate foundation.

The night was spent in Chu Mountain's cultivation.

The next day, it was just dawn. A big thing happened in the town. The main task of the Lin family was assassinated last night, including the head of the Lin family, the two elders, and the two remaining children of the Lin family. The five of them were killed with a knife in the study without any resistance, straightforwardly, without alarming anyone. It was still this morning when Lin Xinyi's wife was about to enter the study to deliver breakfast to the five people who were discussing the matter, only to find that the five had died. The area of the town is not large, and some sesame-sized things can quickly spread throughout the town, not to mention whether there are human lives, or five lives, and what is even more unacceptable is the main person of the Lin family, the largest in the town. Therefore, the town is now panicked, and the heads of the biggest forces in the town have been killed, so do ordinary people still have any power to resist?

The Lin family reported to the official early in the morning. It was already noon when the people of the county government felt it. Although there is such a big thing happening to the Lin family, but. Chu Shan didn't feel the slightest nervousness, after all, Chu Shan's own strength was far beyond everyone else, and no one thought that Chu Shan did it. Taking a step back, even if someone finds out that Chu Shan did it, there is no way to catch Chu Shan. Not to mention Chu Shan's own strength, even the seven wolf dogs and seven first-class masters around him are not something that ordinary forces can subdue. Chu Shan's seven wolf dogs now look like seven foals, and Chu Shan simply treats them as horses and installs a saddle on them. Easy to ride.

Although the affairs of the Lin family are very big. However, big things still can't help the washing of time. The Lin family has declined, but a month later, few people are still talking about the Lin family tragedy. In the beginning. The people in the town were also worried about whether what happened to the Lin family would befall them. But after a month has passed. Everyone found that there was nothing unusual about the town, so they didn't care anymore. Now the affairs of the Lin family have been slowly forgotten by people, and most people are concerned about their harvest this year. When will the yamen come to collect taxes again, as for the affairs of the Lin family, it is just the surplus money after dinner, once something new happens, no one will remember to talk about the affairs of the Lin family anymore.

Since Chu Shan came out of the Lin family, he has been cultivating honestly in the small courtyard. Although there is no progress, life is fulfilling. If there is nothing special, it is estimated that Chu Shan will live in his own small courtyard and in Pingyang Town, knowing Chu Shan's natal world breakthrough. But things can't go as they should be. One thing broke the tranquility of the town and the tranquility of the entire Han Kingdom.

Some people have rebelled! The White Lotus Sect has rebelled!

In the Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, the political situation has been unstable in recent years, and various internal and external troubles have continued to appear, and the royal family of the Han Dynasty has almost been unable to control the rights of these families. The major families compete for power and profit, and no one cares about the life and death of ordinary people. The foreign wars lasted for decades, were costly, and the conscription was onerous. In addition, the phenomenon of land annexation is strict, and the people are not able to make a living. In addition, in Dahan, people will have religious beliefs. At a time when the common people needed a spiritual sustenance, the White Lotus Sect revived. The White Lotus Sect used the congregation to help the people, and vigorously preached that "the court is the first and the White Lotus should stand." This kind of superstitious thinking is demagogic, and the people have long lost trust in the current court. Under these circumstances, the White Lotus Sect grew rapidly, winning the hearts of the people in a religious way, establishing prestige among the poor peasants, with hundreds of thousands of believers.

The White Lotus Sect advocated using its right to speak in the hearts of the people, dividing the believers in the Han states into one hundred and eight directions, more than 10,000 people in the big and six or seven thousand people in the small side, and set up a general on each side, under his unified command, and prepared for a large-scale uprising, intending to overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish a new world with Zhang Jiao as the king. But things did not go as Zhang Xing imagined, Zhang Xing was secretly developing the sect and accumulating strength, when traitors appeared in the sect. Secretly reported Zhang Xing's scheme, and one of Zhang Xing's disciples named Tang Jun told the informant and confessed to the Jingshi's Neiying Ma Tengkong, who was immediately split by the car. The officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed the followers of the White Lotus Sect, involving more than 1,000 people, and ordered the states to hunt down Zhang Xing. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Xing was forced to attack in advance and launched an uprising. Zhang Xing they burned down the official mansion, killed the officials, looted everywhere, within a month, the Han Dynasty all the states and counties were wars, the White Lotus Sect was like a bamboo, the states and counties were lost, the officials fled, and the Kyoto was shaken.

The only one who is calmer now is Jingshi. After all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the life of the common people is okay, plus the Jingshi found that Neiying Ma was vacated, and almost strangled the backbone of the White Lotus Sect in the Jingshi, so although there were uprisings of the White Lotus Sect in all parts of the Han Dynasty, the Jingshi was relatively calm. Despite this, the information for help from all over the country still entered the Beijing division like snowflakes, and the whole country was in a mess.

Seeing that the rebel army of the White Lotus Sect was very powerful, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty hurriedly began to organize an army, set up Yulin Guard, and ordered weapons to guard the Beijing Division. At the same time, he issued an edict to all localities to take strict precautions, ordering all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebel troops. On the other hand, elite troops were sent to suppress the turmoil in various places: General Lu Junyi led the five colonels of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Xing's main force; Huang Qi and Zhu Yuan each led an army and controlled more than 40,000 elite soldiers and warriors from the five colonels and newly recruited elite soldiers to defeat the rebels in the south.

Although Zhang Xing's rebel army was strong at first, it was because the Han did not react. A month later, the army formed by the Han Dynasty and the rebel army of the White Lotus Sect began to confront each other; although the White Lotus Sect was outnumbered, after all, it was some ordinary peasants who had just laid down their hoes, so how could they be compared with the elite army of the Great Han; if it were not for the small number of the Han army, these rebel armies of the White Lotus Sect would have been quickly extinguished. However, as time passed, the army of the White Lotus Sect grew stronger and stronger, and slowly began to confront the Han army, fighting all over the country, losing and winning, and did not want to be the same as at the beginning, one-sided decline. However, in the north, Zhang Xing's army was at an absolute disadvantage, and the Han Emperor could not tolerate having an army that threatened him by his side, so he concentrated almost the strength of the whole country to deal with Zhang Xing's main force.

It's only half a year, and Zhang Xing's mistakes in the north have been beaten to the ground. Zhang Xing also began to realize that the shape was not good, and slowly began to move his troops to the south. In these wars, no one will care about the lives of the common people, without food and grass, whether it is the army of the Han Dynasty or the rebel army of Zhang Xing, they will only forcibly rob the people of their rations, and if they do not comply, they will be killed. Therefore, all the states and counties in Dahan are now in a state of wolf smoke, and the people are struggling to make a living. In this opportunity of civil strife in the Han Dynasty, the alien races in the north did not let go of such a God-given opportunity. The alien race has gathered an army of 100,000 and is eyeing the borders of the Great Han, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Great Han.

In this form, in May, Astragalus ordered the soldiers to secretly go out of the city with torches, using the weeds around the camp of the White Lotus Sect army, attacking the enemy with fire, shouting to attack, and the city also raised torches in response, Astragalus used drums to help the battle, rushed into the enemy formation, and the White Lotus Sect army was in chaos and ran around. In the end, tens of thousands of people were killed, and the Han army won a great victory.

& Zhu Yuan killed Zhang Bufan, the general of the White Lotus Sect. In the end, Astragalus and Zhu Yuan joined forces to continuously exterminate the White Lotus Sect army to the south, broke the enemy army, and successfully leveled the White Lotus Army in the southeast of the Han Dynasty. After that, Astragalus fought against Zhang Xing several times, killing hundreds of thousands of people. In the end, Zhang Xing was defeated and had to withdraw to the southwest. Astragalus built blocks, dug trenches, and made ladders, and finally spent three months to break Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing saw that the general trend was gone, so he had no choice but to kill himself.

It was only a year before and after the White Lotus Sect uprising, but the entire Han Dynasty was already full of holes. Although the main force of the White Lotus Sect has been wiped out, there are still many scattered troops, scattered all over the country, who have become bandits and continue to plague people. At this time, although the uprising was successfully extinguished, the generals everywhere held heavy troops, and most of them were unwilling to give up their forces, and their respective mercenaries were self-respecting, and the Han royal family's control over various places was even weaker. Although Astragalus and Zhu Yuan made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, because of their straightforward personalities and jealousy and hatred, they offended the eunuchs around the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and were finally slandered and sent to prison. Looking at the experience of the two, everyone in the court and the central government sighed, and the loyalty of the people in the court to the Han was even lowered. Now the imperial order of the Han Dynasty is almost impossible to deal with the capital for 300 miles.

The states and counties of the Han Dynasty were in chaos, and all kinds of powerful families began to recruit troops and horses in case of accidents. The wealth of the world began to concentrate among the families at a faster speed, and the common people are now living more bitterly than before, but no one cares about these, and countless people die every day, and the heavens and the earth are wailing.........
