Chapter Twenty-Four: Zhang Wang and Chen Kan
Liu Sicheng listened to Li Wumang's question, and said without thinking: "Your Majesty, this must be a demon." ”
Li Wumang smiled. "Liu Sicheng really has insight, I changed my mind, Anguo was tossed by your two brothers, and I took a lot of effort to rectify it. Don't do it yet. The two of you have withdrawn from the army, and I will lead the army back to the country tomorrow, and he will come back to collect it when I am free. ”
The Liu brothers were overjoyed when they heard this. Liu Sicheng said: "Since it is an army, it is easy to retreat, Your Majesty will return to the independent country tomorrow, and when my brother has cleaned up, I will send An Guo to His Majesty." ”
Frost without a mang's mask. "That's a matter for the two of you, and I have made it clear that if your two brothers do disobedience again, I will kill them!"
The Liu brothers were silent.
The guards came to report: "Qi Yu Majesty." As soon as the Anjun army is in formation, it will attack the main camp. ”
Li Wumang was not afraid of An Jun, and said lightly: "Liu Sicheng, Liu Shi, follow me and take a look." ”
The three of them got out of the big tent, Li Wumang got on the jade lion, and asked the guards to lead the horses for the Liu brothers, and they all arrived at the gate of the big camp.
Fifty zhang away, two flags, the commander of the army will ride a horse and stand under the flag. Li Wumang didn't know. When the Liu brothers looked at it, they saw that it was Zhang Wang and Chen Kanshi.
......
Zhang Wang came to the capital with Liu Sicheng, brought 100,000 cavalry from the northern three states, and stationed thirty miles outside the capital. It was the realm of Chenkan.
Chen Kan went to the three northern states to read the holy decree for the Qin mission, listened to Zhang Wang's advice, and sought the position of a governor in a state close to the capital.
It is convenient to look at the people and horses stationed here, and the grain and grass are convenient. The two of them have a care, and they have been stationed in the army for more than half a month.
Zhang Wang has been with Liu Sicheng for many years, although Liu Sicheng did not tell him that he was plotting to kill Li Wumang, with Zhang Wang's understanding of Liu Sicheng, the Liu brothers would not give the throne to others lightly. Very confused. I discussed it with Chen Kan many times, but there was no result.
I didn't hear someone report from time to time, Chan let the ceremony end, and the Liu brothers were seriously injured and are now in the camp of the independent country. Zhang Wang asked in detail about the situation at that time, and he had a plan in his heart. Invited Chen Kan to come over.
Zhang Wang said: "Senior brother, the two Majesties wanted to assassinate Li Wumang in the ceremony, but failed. The people were taken captive by Li Wumang, and the princes and ministers of Anguo were kept in the dark. ”
"Senior brother, we won't wade into this troubled water, now that Anguo is in turmoil, our senior brother is still alone. ”
"Senior brother, senior brother plans to lead people to save the two Majes, rescuing them is a great achievement, if you can't save the two Majes, the world will be in chaos. The younger brother has the people of the three northern states as support. Senior brother has a state foundation, and he will gather some people here, and then Anguo will naturally fall into the hands of my brother. ”
"Senior brother, since you have made such a plan, wouldn't it be better for the two Majesties to die in the chaos of the army. "Chen Kan's heart is also ruthless enough.
The two discussed, Zhang Wangshuai 100,000 horses, Chen Kan ordered 50,000 horses in Benzhou, and 150,000 horses ran to Zen to let the rich mountain of the great gift come. After besieging the camp of the independent country, he was ready to give the order to attack the independent army.
Brother Zhang Wangshi knew the stakes of Li Wumang, and arranged 5,000 archers next to the flag, and even the gods couldn't get close.
......
Who knew that Li Wumang and the Liu brothers rode out on horseback, looking at it and thinking about countermeasures. Liu Sicheng raised his voice on the horse and said: "Zhang Wang, I am healing in the camp of the independent army, what do you want to mobilize the people?"
Zhang Wang and Chen Kan arched their hands on the horse, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that His Majesty was held hostage by the independent army, and he and Governor Chen led the army to come to the rescue. ”
Liu Sicheng shouted in a deep voice: "Look, I'm fine, retreat." ”
Zhang Wang's heart was horizontal, and said: "Your Majesty must have been coerced, and the order was sent down to attack the camp of the Dujun army on all sides." ”
For a time, the horn was loud, and Jin agitated, and 150,000 An troops launched an attack on the camp of the independent army. The soldiers of the independent country had already prepared, relying on the fences, trenches, and antlers outside the camp to hold the camp.
The An army opposite Liu Sicheng did not act, and Zhang Wang knew that Liu Sicheng had a prestige in the Northern Sanzhou Army, so he did not dare to take action against Liu Sicheng immediately.
Seeing Zhang Wang's attack on the camp, Liu Sicheng was furious. "Rat daring. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the spear of a guard of the independent country next to him flew out of his hand, and Liu Sicheng snatched the weapon in the air. Pat the horse and look straight away.
Liu Shi saw that Li Wumang didn't say anything, and also took a spear from the guard and followed.
Li Wumang saw that the Liu brothers' kung fu was indeed outstanding.
Liu Sicheng shouted on the horse: "The demon suffers death." ”
With Liu Sicheng's martial arts cultivation, this shout was clearly heard by the 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers on the left.
Zhang Wang and Chen Kan said when they sent out their troops that the two Majesties were confused by the demons, and they attacked the camp of the independent country to save the driver. When the soldiers saw the dragon spirit and tiger of the Liu brothers, what kind of bewildered look did they have. Suddenly heard Liu Sicheng's voice: "The demon is killed." "They all decided that Zhang Wang was going to harm His Majesty.
Chen Kan shouted: "Shoot." "Let the archer, who had been prepared, release his arrows. Most of the archers were soldiers from the three northern states, and they were afraid of hurting Liu Sicheng, so after a little hesitation, Liu Sicheng's horse arrived. Liu Sicheng smoothed the spear and stabbed straight at the door. Looking at the blade of the broadsword, it lifted up and held the spear.
Liu Sicheng lifted up the ten success forces and pressed down. There was a "stab" on the back of the gown, and three bone spurs burst out of the body.
This pressure broke the shaft of Zhang Wang's knife, and the spear smashed on Zhang Wang's head, and blood splattered everywhere. The mount under the crotch was also overwhelmed, and Zhang Wanglian died on the ground with his horse.
Everyone looked at Liu Sicheng, with three triangular black bone spurs on his back, more than four inches long. It is very different from what Li Wumang saw that day. Liu Sicheng's face and the blue-black meridians on the back of his hands are densely protruding. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was hideous.
Chen Kan was startled when he saw Liu Sicheng's appearance. Liu Sishi's horse then arrived, Chen Kan was caught off guard and was picked off the horse by Liu Sishi.
Liu Sicheng saw his brother's appearance, and he was afraid that everyone would be suspicious, so he hurriedly said: "Big brother is angry." Liu Sicheng took the credit, his face was the same as before, and he shouted: "The An army retreats." ”
The soldiers were ordered one after another and retreated one after another. Liu Sicheng summoned more than a dozen generals of the An army. It was set up right away. The generals received their orders and led their troops back to their camps.
......
The Liu brothers turned their horses' heads and returned to Li Wumang's side. Li Wumang saw that there were many people, and it was difficult to speak. Nod and smile. "The two Majesties have worked hard, please enter the big tent to rest. ”
into the big tent. Liu Sicheng said: "Your Majesty, since you have already shown up, my brothers and I should go back to the Anguo camp opposite." lest all the people be suspicious, and it will be dark for half an hour. ”
Li Wumang looked indifferent and said, "Why not, you guys go." ”
The Liu brothers said goodbye to Li Wumang and returned to the Anjun camp. Prince Kang listened to the report and greeted him. and sat down in the tent.
King Kang said: "The two Majesties are back, and the princes and ministers see that the two Majesties are in distress, and they don't know what to do." ”
"Uncle Huang, just now Zhang Wang and Chen Kan led the army to attack the camp of the independent country, and you saw it. Liu Sicheng asked Prince Kang.
King Kang said: "The old minister led 3,000 men and horses to watch on the side. Just now, His Majesty ordered all the armies to return by themselves, and the ministers had just returned. ”
"Zhang Wang, Chen Kan is the demon. In the name of saving the driver, he wanted to put my brother to death. It's just to usurp the throne. ”
Prince Kang nodded. "In the end, it's not their own family, even if the two Majesties are hijacked by people, attacking the camp of the independent country with such fanfare, there is indeed the hand of a dummy, and the suspicion of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion. ”
Liu Shi is going to sit down on the matter. "Uncle Huang, my eldest brother's skill is above me, it may be better, when I looked at the answer, Shi'er's ears buzzed, and there were many phantoms in front of me. It's not the emperor of the independent country Datong who has performed his cultivation, I'm afraid that he will be confused by it again. ”
"I'm the same, and my martial arts cultivation can't compete with the demon law. Liu Sicheng also came to help.
When Prince Kang heard the Liu brothers say this, he was convinced. "Tomorrow, I will explain today's matter to the minister, so as not to make everyone suspicious and blame His Majesty the Emperor of Datong. ”
After King Kang left, Liu Shi asked, "Big brother, do we just have to sit and wait?"
"What else can you do? If you hadn't poisoned your father and usurped the throne and stood on your own, what would be the disaster you have today?" Liu Sicheng couldn't help but complain about Liu Shi.
Liu Shi was the emperor during this time, and he was not allowed to live every day, and the country was divided into three, and the court was intrigued. In the face of this endgame, he has long been disheartened. When the brothers discussed, Liu Shi was willing to give up the throne to his brother.
Hearing Liu Sicheng's complaint, Liu Sishi lowered his head. "The eldest brother and the third brother are also demagogues. Now I regret it. ”
Liu Sicheng said: "You have also seen the ability of the eldest brother, even if it is a martial arts master, he is not a strong opponent, since the fairy bow and fairy arrow can't hurt him, he can only do what he says." Li Wumang said ruthlessly, in the end he was kind-hearted, he became the emperor, and the Liu family still had a way to live. ”
Liu Sishi nodded: "I listen to the eldest brother." ”
The second person, Li Wumang, ordered all the people to return to the independent country, and the Liu brothers sent thirty miles before going back.
Without saying anything all the way, the army walked for five days, crossed the Xiao River and returned to the independent country. Li Wumang breathed a sigh of relief, the 50,000 horses were finally brought back, and Liu Sicheng also cleared the previous account, which was a matter of concern.
The Liu brothers returned to the capital, and the Tianshun Emperor Liu Shi abdicated. Liu Sicheng changed the country name to Tianning. Tell the world.
The first thing Emperor Tianning did was to announce Zhang Wang, Chen Kan's crime of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, pointing out that the two were demons. Zhang Wang and Chen Kan were exterminated by the Nine Clans. For a while, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition. There are many people who say that the two are wronged.
Liu Sicheng's actions angered the Dayang Sect, the largest martial arts sect in Anguo. The Dayang Sect has a huge influence in Anguo, and its relationship with the royal family and courtiers is intertwined. The elders of the sect never thought that Zhang Wang and Chen Kan would rebel.
Emperor Tianning killed Zhang and Chen, and accused them of being demons. The Great Yang Sect even thought that it had been greatly humiliated. This Jianghu force, which originally maintained the Liu royal family, began to act.
At the beginning, the Liu brothers assassinated Li Wumang, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they made good preparations for Zen Rang, and everyone believed that the Liu family would abdicate. The prestige of the Liu brothers plummeted. If you kill Li Wumang, you may be able to redeem it.
Now that Li Wumang has returned to the country, the Liu brothers killed Zhang Wang and Chen Kan. Especially Zhang Wang, when Liu Sicheng was in trouble, he maintained the power of the three northern states, and tried to ensure that Liu Sicheng established himself as the emperor. The ministers were very disappointed in the Yoo brothers. Forty-eight kings
Anguo has been fighting for years, and in the past two years, there have been disasters and famines, and the people are miserable. Knowing Liu's Zen let, he was elated. Suddenly, the court proclamation came out, and Tianshun changed to Tianning. The Chinese people are extremely disappointed, and there are more people who take risks.
It was really chaotic, recklessly set himself up as the king, and there was a governor who was not subject to the emperor's orders. The Great Yang Sect added fuel to the fire. Several states on the east bank of the Xiao River. The rebels rose up and occupied two state cities.
The rebels elect their own governors. A few days later, another group of men broke into the governor's palace, killed the governor of the rebels, and proclaimed himself governor. However, in half a year, Angola was mired in civil strife.
The Liu brothers were unable to clean up the situation and were busy arranging their family's way back. After Liu Sicheng cultivated the "Remnant Heart Method" to the ninth layer realm. Cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, but it has become more and more violent. Sometimes it's hard to control yourself.
Liu Sicheng is an extremely smart person, and he is suspicious of the "method of holding the crippled heart". When he was in Gaozhou before, Li Wumang once asked about the origin of the "Disabled Heart Method", saying that it was the practice of the Demon Sect. According to Li Wumang's statement, the black qi entering the body is not aura, it is mostly demonic qi.
After Liu Sicheng thought about it, more than half a year passed. In the next few days, Liu Sicheng could always hear the voice calling for himself in the middle of the night, like a precursor to going crazy. I had to call my younger brother Liu Shi to ask for advice.
Liu Sicheng went out of the capital. Knowing that this call was mostly an auditory hallucination, I couldn't help but follow the sound of the call to find the past.
......
Li Wumang returned to Gaozhou. Summoning all the princes into the palace. I told about my encounter in Anguo at the time of the court meeting. The princes and ministers of the independent country were indignant.
Hei Tai Sui gave a salute to the emperor, "It is better to cross the Xiao River and eat away at the land and population of Anguo." ”
Chang Shan seconded the proposal, "Your Majesty, the independent country accepts all the states and counties of Angola at one time, and there are not enough officials, so it is the best policy to slowly figure it out." ”
The name changed and said: "Your Majesty, the two princes are polite, and the minister thinks that he can take Anguo and a state first." ”
Li Wumang looked at the ministers, "I estimate that it won't be long before Anguo will fall into civil strife, and it will be good to do it again when the time comes." The regent can be prepared in advance. ”
Changed his name and bowed down to "obey the order".
......
The Independence Country has been preparing for the past few months. At present, the state separated from the independent country by a river is in chaos. It became an ownerless thing. The name change was hurriedly transferred to Hei Tai Sui. Chang Shan and six other generals, led 30,000 troops, crossed the Xiao River, and began to encroach on the land and population of Anguo.
Li Wumang went to the court this time, and then ignored the government. After all, sooner or later you have to let go. Yi Mingxiang and Yi Fuan have been practicing the "Peeping Technique" for more than half a year, and there has been no progress at all. Li Wumang himself thinks that these two brothers have no chance with the Immortal Dao.
The action of changing the name to Anguo is not bothered by Li Wumang. In the future, everything must be decided by changing the name of the prime minister, and the wealth of the world is also a hard thing.
Li Wumang is dedicated to cultivating in the blessed land of floating light. Now that the cultivation of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation has also reached the time to pass the level, there is no way to start without the elixir.
Li Wumang was secretly anxious. The next step is to find immortal cultivators, if there are no other immortal cultivators in the entire Acura region, there is nowhere to find the pill, and no one can continue to cultivate.
Acura is a land isolated by the Great Mang Mountain and the Ten Thousand Demon Sea. There are only two ways to leave, one is through Damang Mountain. The second is to make a detour through the Ten Thousand Demon Sea area. With vigorous cultivation, it can't be done.
Thousands of miles have been traveled over the Damang Mountains. People who practice the fifth layer of qi can't get past it. The sea area of ten thousand demons is even more dangerous, how can a boat be crossed without a law? It's best to go out, and it's fate to go out if you can't get out.
Li Wumang first went to the barbarian tribe and entered the camp of King Qinghao of the Yuno tribe. Qinghao was very happy when he saw Li Wumang, "Your Majesty is finally here." Coca and other kings want to wear it?"
Li Wumang said, "Is there any trouble with King Coca?"
Qinghao said: "There are many clans that have joined the alliance recently. Most of them are close to the Coca Marks tribe. So it's basically coca arranging, and it's naturally very hard. ”
Li Wumang smiled: "Isn't it hard for me to come to King Coca?"
Qinghao said: "Your Majesty, gather a few kings to go to Your Majesty's camp." You haven't been to the king's camp once. There are many things to be decided upon. To the second king's camp appeared to be impartial. It's fair."
"What King Qinghao said makes sense. That's it. Li Wumang stood up after speaking.
Out of Qinghao's big tent. Qinghao sent guards to escort Li Wumang to the second king's camp. Li Wumang looked at his own territory, and it was no different from the camps of other kings. The people who sent Qinghao back. Li Wumang turned around and entered his big tent.
The steward and the servants soon brought the meat, melons, fruits, and wine. Li Wumang sat cross-legged on the thick felt, relaxed and comfortable, "Butler, what is the situation of this big camp on weekdays?"
The butler bowed down and replied: "Master, on weekdays, there is no one else in this big camp except for dozens of servants, and everything is in the hands of the slaves." ”
"Well, I'll have to stock up on some good food and wine tomorrow. ”
"Yes, master. ”
The next day. Coca and Qinghao, which are closest to the camp of the second king, have arrived. Then more than a dozen kings came one after another. Except for King Lille, the rest of Li Wumang has never seen it. Li Wumang entertained these kings with wine and meat in the big tent.
Coca said, "Your Majesty." We gather here. It is to ask His Majesty to make a decision. More than a dozen kings nodded.
Li Wumang said: "What decision?"
Qinghao said: "Your Majesty, there are more tribes that have joined the alliance now. Each king has his own opinion, and it is difficult to agree on something. We discussed, please be the king of our alliance. ”
Li Wumang said: "The problems encountered by each ethnic group in the tribal alliance are different. The ideas are different, even if there is a king of the alliance, it will not solve the problem. ”
Seeing that all the kings were looking at him, Li Wumang continued: "It's better to be like this, the tribe has one speaker for a million people according to the population, and the small tribe of less than a million can also have a speaker. The big tribes have five or six speakers. In this way, even if there are 50 million tribes, there are only 50 or 60 speakers. ”
Qinghao looked at everyone. "Your Majesty, now that there are more than a dozen great kings, it is still difficult to agree on some trivial matters, and it is not even more difficult for fifty or sixty speakers to reach a consensus?"
Li Wumang said: "It's not for everyone to quarrel, what are people afraid of? Everything that needs to be discussed is taken out, according to the difference between approval and disagreement." Count the number of people. The majority is adopted. Give up on the few. Isn't it easy?"
More than a dozen kings heard it in a fog, and they didn't know how the speaker of Li Wumang's finger appeared. I don't know what the use of this method is.
Li Wumang saw it and smiled slightly: "I'll know it as soon as I try it with the kings." ”
Li Wumang picked up two silver cups and placed them on the table in front of him, "The speaker is usually the king of the tribe, or a person selected by the king, such as a prince. Do you understand?" the kings nodded.
Li Wumang continued: "Now everyone is the speaker, let's make a decision." These two silver cups must be smashed one of them, and everyone said that one must be smashed?" For a while, the kings became louder, and they were all eager to express their opinions.
"Each of you may take a grape and think that you are going to smash the silver cup, and put the grapes in the silver cup. Li Wumang pointed to the silver cup in front of him.
Every king did what Li Wumang said.
Li Wumang ordered the grapes in the two silver cups respectively. One is six, and one is seven. Li Wumang's silver cup containing seven grapes was pinched into a ball with his hands, "Ladies and gentlemen, even if it is two identical silver cups, everyone can agree on it. ”
Everyone looked at each other and thought it was incredible. Coca said: "Your Majesty, isn't it reasonable to do this?"
Li Wumang said: "The will of most people is to be reasonable. So the reason why there should be enough people to talk about is also here. ”
Qinghao laughed: "I Qinghao thinks this method is good." Majesty, isn't it true that the things that everyone has decided to vote for grapes can't be changed?"
Li Wumang said: "If you need to change your decision, you can only vote for grapes again." ”
It took Li Wumang a day to establish the rules of the tribe. But all the kings voted for grapes in unison. Asked Li Wumang to be the king of the alliance. And gave a tribe the honorable title of "King" that had never been done before.
In the words of the kings. Li Wumang is the king above the king, so he is called "Li Wumang is the king".
The kings voted for grapes again, and this time the result was: Li Wumang's decision was not to vote for grapes.
King Li Wumang stopped the kings from continuing to throw grapes in the name of Li Wumang. I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be some ridiculous results.
Qinghao said: "Your Majesty, the tribal alliance is strong now. There was no war to kill, and the people of the tribe were grateful for the king's kindness, and many people set up tablets of immortality in their tents. ”
There are many people in the independent country who have given Li Wumang immortal tablets, and now the barbarian tribes also have them. I don't know if this immortal tablet can really bless people?" Li Wumang smiled, "I don't need those things." ”
Li Wumang's current tone is encouraging the people to set up immortal tablets. It is not the same attitude as when you hear the same thing in a single country. Li Wumang seemed to have some expectations in his heart, the more these immortal tablets, the better. I think it's strange myself.
The kings were very happy to see Li Wumang's attitude towards the immortal tablet. This immortal cultivator brought peace and tranquility to the tribe, and the immortal tablet was the heartfelt prayer and blessing of the people of the tribe. It is what the king deserves.
Li Wumang said: "The tribal alliance will get bigger and bigger, and maybe it will dominate the wilderness." If we all do things according to the method of throwing grapes, there will be more satisfied people than dissatisfied people. Therefore, some things that the king in the tribe can't make up his mind can also let the clansmen throw grapes. The kings all nodded in agreement.
"After the tribe is strong, don't encroach on the land of the five countries, everyone has the desire to survive in Acura. Let's do our part. ”
The kings all nodded in agreement.
Li Wumang looked at more than a dozen kings, "There is no fighting, you can find new pastures and graze more cattle, sheep and horses." Life will be rich. ”
