Chapter 265

  Beside the official road, in the open-air tea shop.

  Many passersby stopped here, drinking tea and chatting.

The topic    mentioned naturally cannot escape the recent changes in the current situation, which is precisely the failure of the imperial court to conquer Huyang.

   "Then Chen Feng raised the anti-flag and gathered a million people in Huyang. This is really a giant bandit that has not been seen in a century. Now that the officers and soldiers have been repelled, I don't know what else to do."

   "Since he is a rebel, he will most likely sweep the world, and then the war will be repeated, and the world will be in chaos."

   "Alas, the court's conquest was fruitless, and Huyang was also lost. Now that Chen Feng is full of wings, I think the court will be more difficult to control."

   "Hmph, it's not a good thing for officers and soldiers to flood Huyang."

   "Speak carefully, speak carefully!"

   Everyone, you talk to me every word.

  This is located in the northern part of the Central Plains. The Huyang Rebellion has not spread to this place. Although everyone has a solemn tone, they are worried about the future, but they are not panicked.

   Now that Chen Feng's name has been linked to the word "anti-thief", the people outside of Huyang dare not stand up for Chen Feng. There are many restraints in the conversation, and most of them stand cautiously in the court's position.

   For Chen Feng, people from all over the world have mixed feelings. They admire this person's actions to eliminate evil and punish the powerful and powerful, but also feel that this person rises up to bring trouble to the world.

The wealthy hate it, those who can afford food and clothing are in awe, and occasionally complain, only those at the bottom have **** support. Stay away.

   In the corner of the tea shop, there were two young men sitting, one in black and one in white.

   The young man in white is named Wei Zhong, with a warm temperament. The young man in black was called Jiang Di, with sharp eyebrows.

  The two teachers went out of the same door, and they were called brothers and sisters, and they have been down the mountain for many days.

   Listening to the chatter of others, Jiang Di's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said:

   "This Chen Feng is called to eliminate evil for the people and act for the heaven. Brother, what do you think of this person?"

  Wei Zhong took a sip of the tea and said softly, "Junior Brother, but I want to ask, is this person worth serving?"

  Jiang Di chuckled: "Yes, this person calls himself a civil uprising, which is probably just the appetite of the senior brother, and he is the number one expert in the world today, and he may be able to make a career."

   Hearing this, Wei Zhong pondered for a while, then shook his head:

   "This man declared at the time of his uprising that he was 'to deceive the people by relying on the sky, to be a prince, to make up for the equality of the people, and to punish the powerful and powerful'. Although he was quite arrogant, it was more like a rise to coerce the grievances of the people, and it was not a long-term plan to improve people's livelihood.

  People's grievances can only be used for a while, and it can be used to swept the world for a while, but if one rushes to the next, the second and third are exhausted, and the middle way will be unsustainable.

   Besides, people must have their own personalities. After Chen Feng became powerful, some people under his command would be corrupt, greedy for utilitarianism, and selfish for their own sake, and they would also be above the people. How could we talk about equality at that time? So in my opinion, this Chen Fengyong is brave, but in fact, he can only set off a chaotic world, causing a temporary disaster, and it may be difficult to achieve in the end. "

   After hearing this, Jiang Di smiled softly: "What my brother sees is quite compatible with me. It can only hold people's hearts for a while, and it won't last long."

   Wei Zhong raised his brows: "Isn't Junior Brother also optimistic about Chen Feng?"

Jiang Di's mouth twitched and commented casually: "This Chen Feng has a rambunctious habit and is too violent. He relies on his own force to cut himself off from a powerful family, and does not leave a way out. He is not a hero and is not worthy of serving. The only one who is willing to defect to him is the rambunctious. Poor people, there will not be any scholars from aristocratic families, so how can they compete for dominance in the world? It is a chance to overthrow the imperial court by chance, so it does not tolerate the powerful, the country is also unstable, and in the end, it will only be a wedding dress for others."

   Wei Zhong pursed his lips and shook his head silently.

  Although they are not optimistic about Chen Feng's uprising, but the two have different starting points. Compared with themselves, the younger brother valued this person's hegemony capital more.

   Wei Zhong was not surprised by this. He studied art together since he was a child.

   At this moment, Jiang Di spoke again, changed the subject, and asked, "The troubled times are approaching, and Master has asked us to make achievements. Have you made a plan? Will you help the court to bring peace to the troubled times, or will you support a hero to compete in the world?"

   Wei Zhong calmed down and sighed: "I haven't made up my mind yet. I plan to go to the capital first, to see the atmosphere of the imperial court, and to see if this big summer can be saved."

  Jiang Di nodded and said slowly, "In that case, let me part here."

   Wei Zhong was startled: "Junior Brother?"

  Jiang Di's eyes flickered: "The turbulent times are turbulent, and the heroes will rise together. There must be a hero born. I plan to travel around, and I will move from time to time. I will choose a hero to assist, and I will not be with you."

   Wei Zhong was silent, but he was not surprised.

   Although the two are from the same school, their pursuits are different. The younger brother has always been arrogant, and he prefers to go alone and build his own career rather than joining forces with him.

   "Oh, it seems that you and I need to say goodbye eventually, just today."

  Wei Zhong sighed, knowing that the younger brother had made up his mind and did not hold back.

   "Okay, goodbye then... Maybe one day, you and I will have a chance to compete."

  Jiang Di finished saying this, then got up and left, leaving the tea shop.

   After taking a few steps, he paused for a moment, then glanced at Wei Zhong at last across the fence, and said casually:

   "And... don't die easily."

   After saying that, Jiang Di no longer had any nostalgia, and strode westward.

   Wei Zhong shook his head, checked out, left the tea shop, and walked in the other direction.

  On the official road where the setting sun is gradually setting, the two are walking farther and farther, going their separate ways.

  …

  As the military situation of Huyang's defeat was passed back to the capital, the government and the opposition shook.

   Another day to go to court.

  The capital, Ziji Temple.

   "The 400,000-strong army begged for thieves, but in the end they were defeated and returned. The commander of the three armies is so incompetent that I wasted all my hard work!"

  The emperor was furious, and the ministers dared not speak.

  When the emperor was tired of scolding, Qin Song came out more and more carefully, saying:

"What the sage said is very true. Although the two generals Ma Zhen and Huang Ping sacrificed their lives for the country, they were not to blame for their failure to command the troops. What can Pang Shumi have to say?"

  The emperor's eyes immediately turned to Pang Hong, which was quite unkind.

  Pang Hong swallowed and hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty: "I don't know who I am, I am guilty!"

  The emperor said coldly: "Pang Shumi helped to send troops. I had high hopes, but you taught me to be disappointed."

   "The minister is guilty!"

  Pang Hong was sweating profusely, and he had already cursed Ma Zhen with blood.

   He had told Ma Zhen to delay the fight for a long time, but in the end he didn't even endure it for half a year.

   This is good, not only did I not make much money, but I would also be dragged down.

At this time, the left minister Lu Wenzong took a few steps forward, as if to defend Pang Hong, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although Ma Zhen's army was defeated, he also preserved most of his military strength, and he took the strategy of flooding the bandits, but in the end the success was in vain. ."

   It’s better not to mention this, but now that it is mentioned, the ministers get excited, and they all accuse and scold Ma Zhen.

   Flooded Huyang and other poisonous schemes, all the ministers are opposed to it on the surface, after all, they have to consider their own reputation.

  There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. If they publicly agree, I am afraid they will be criticized by words and written down.

   to fail, it must be wrong.

   Moreover, someone should take the blame for defeat, and no one wants to excuse Ma Zhen.

   However, no matter whether the ministers secretly support the flooding strategy, they all feel that it is inappropriate for Lingfengzi's disaster relief actions.

   Soon there was a look of resentment on Qingliu's face, and he opened his mouth to impeach:

"Sacred Master, although Ma Zhen's move was wrong, what Yufeng Master did is even more inappropriate. As a celestial master in the court, he actually helped the rebels in disaster relief. This matter has spread among the people and greatly hurt the face of the court. We must not continue to indulge Master Yufeng, and look to the sage for a clear inspection!"

  The ministers all agreed, and their attitudes were similar.

   A high-ranking person representing the imperial court actually went to help the rebels, what kind of decency, not even for disaster relief!

   This effect is so bad that people dare not think about it!

  According to the meaning of the ministers, flooding with poison is wrong, but this is the predicament of the anti-thief.

   This obviously exposed their true thoughts... They shouted against it, but if the flooding plan can really hit the rebels, most of them are happy to see it happen, and they are secretly happy while harshly criticizing. As for the disasters affecting the people of Huyang, no one really took it seriously.

  The emperor listened to the impeachment of the ministers, his eyes were uncertain, and finally said slowly:

   "There must be a reason for Master Yufeng to act. When he comes back, let him make it clear, and now there is no need to mention it."

   He inevitably had suspicions about Master Yufeng, but he held it back.

  There is a lesson from the past that Ma Zhen was taken away from the army, and the importance of Lingfengzi has risen again in the emperor's mind.

  …

   On the other side, Huyang, Hongzhou prefecture.

  Zhou Jing stood on the tower, overlooking the cottage soldiers and horses that pierced into the city.

  Now Longwangzhai officially occupies the state and seizes the city, and all the prefectures in Huyang are basically taken over by the cottages and become the power of the ruling party.

   He looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, opened the panel and glanced at the message:

  [Trigger Achievement [One Party Overlord]]

  [Get 10,000 Astral Points, 20 Information State Particles, [Quality Enhancement - Charm (Medium)] x1, [Quality Enhancement - Commander (Small)] x1]

  [Career goal [Prince and general Xiangning has a kind] completed]

  [Get 80 Information State Particles]

  [Current Apostle Constant Progress: 947/240]

"Sure enough, once I separate Huyang, I will complete this goal of life, and now there is only one left... In addition, I have repelled the officers and soldiers, severely damaged the prestige of the imperial court, and created a general trend in the world. In the future, there will be continuous collection and placement income, and the progress will rise to 1000+ is easy."

   Zhou Jing nodded secretly.

The first step of the    strategy has been achieved. Let Longwangzhai be a pirate here and develop a business base.

  The next step is to personally lead troops to attack the nearby borders, use your unstoppable personal force, see the city break down, and act as a rogue who travels abroad for a long time, echoing the base area.

   Overthrowing the imperial court is not a direct goal, killing a powerful family is the last career goal. If you don't kill enough families, changing the dynasty will not meet the career requirements.

   However, the nobles of noble families are scattered all over the place, and it takes time and effort to remove them one by one.

   When you kill more powerful people in the south, families from all over the world will naturally be frightened and forced to migrate to a safe area, such as going north to the capital to take refuge.

   After all... the capital has Lingfengzi in charge, and in the eyes of the aristocratic family, at least it will not fall.

   It's time to harvest!

   "As for the next crusade target..."

   Zhou Jing touched his chin, his eyes flickering.

   Just choose the neighbor Jiang Chun, after all, Ning Tianfu is too familiar with himself.

   This Daxia Fujing has a lot of powerful people in it, from hundreds of years of aristocratic families, from the founding of the country, and from the royal family.

   Zhou Jing squinted his eyes: "Just right, last time the Ning Tianfu family asked a bunch of injustices to kill me, so I should ask these people behind the scenes to figure it out, lest they really think the matter is over."
