Chapter 835: Internal Disintegration
The Miao people believed in the Snake Spirit Sect and respected the Snake Spirit Sect leader, but in fact, any loyalty was based on interests. The Snake Spirit Sect leader respected by the Miao people were not all foolish and loyal. When they were young, they might have been religious fanatics, but when they reached a certain age and became the lord of a village or even an elder of a force, they would have more thoughts.
There is another special feature of this generation of leaders. Since Cui Yuzheng became the leader, he has not taken care of much. Everything is the saint Wang Ou. In fact, the responsibility of this generation of leaders is on Wang Ou. This leads to a problem, that is, the lords of these Miao villages have not worked with Cui Yuzheng very much. They do not know his temper at all. The so-called loyalty cannot be discussed. The loyalty in the name of the leader. The actual loyalty is on the saint Wang Ou.
Now, the leader chose to confront the Tang army head-on, and this way of killing. The elders of the Bai and Wu sects could not accept it from the bottom of their hearts. However, the leader insisted on doing so, and they could not control it, so they could only adapt on the surface. In addition, they were also cautious. They wanted the other party to follow the leader to die, so that their forces would be preserved. When the court controlled the situation, Miaojiang still needed someone to manage it. At that time, their own sect would benefit.
With this intention to make a foundation, while it was not dawn, the two elders Bai and Wu both expressed their lives to the people under their command and asked them not to charge forward. Of course, they could not express their true thoughts. They could not express their second intentions towards the leader. They just said that they would aim at the other party and be behind the other party, so that they could die less.
Although the young people who were incited by Li Mu all wanted to charge forward and make an excitement for the Miao people, the hatred between them for many years also hoped that the other party would die from the bottom of their hearts. So when Li Mu led Dugu Jiu and others to charge, Bai and Wu both aimed at each other and controlled their own speed.
Both sides had the intention of making the other party die, and no one started running. A funny scene appeared. Li Mu rushed out with a scream. When he looked back, he didn't follow him. The fastest one was at least fifty or sixty meters away from the last horse.
Li Mu cursed inwardly, fortunately this was not a real war. If this were the case during the war, he would have seen the King of Hell long ago.
At this time, the people from the Bai and Wu tribes also noticed this situation. They were a little panicked. The young people, who didn't know what the old foxes were thinking, just wanted to make the other party die, but they didn't think about letting the leader die. Seeing that the leader was about to break into the enemy's battle formation alone, the young people in the two tribes didn't care about being slower than anyone else, and they both tried their best to save the leader. This stupid behavior almost made the elders of the two ministries blurted out - can't let the leader who was trying to die first? Why are you rushing to join in the fun!
Li Mu had already arrived in front of the formation, and without a word of nonsense, he directly "entered" the battle formation. Yesterday had already been arranged, and today's battle was just an act. Tang Jian repeatedly told him not to hurt Li Muhao. If anyone hurts Luoyang Marquis, he would come to see him. The military orders are like mountains, who dares to disobey? The spear soldiers in front of the formation were afraid that their guy would be able to touch him accidentally. When they saw Li Mu rushing over, the tip of the spear was swung in the opposite direction.
Seeing this, the camp leaders who were rushing behind felt strange. Could it be that the Tang army who came to attack the mountain gate this time were all young men who had never been on the chariot before? Why are they so a layman? Seeing the people rushing over, what is the tactic of swinging the spear out? You just stabbed it directly into a blood gourd. Could it be that it fell in when crossing the river and water was in the head?
It was a long time to say that, Li Mu took Dugu Jiu and others, waving weapons. When the Tang army's spear soldiers were inappropriate, they quickly tear out a hole in the formation. Tang Jian, in military uniform, seemed to have no idea that the battle formation would be broken, and immediately showed a panic expression. At the same time, his personal soldiers wanted to guard him and retreat behind. But it was too late. Li Mu took the lead and had already "killed" to Tang Jian's place. He reached out and grabbed Tang Jian and captured him.
"You general is in my hands. Whoever dares to act rashly will kill him!" Li Mu raised his scimitar and made a gesture to chop. The Tang army, who had already surrounded, immediately threw themselves into a rat and was afraid of weapons, and I don't know what to do!
“Get out of here!”
Li Mu shouted softly, Tang Jun hesitated for a moment, and made way for a while. Li Mu laughed loudly, put Tang Jian on the horse's back, and took Dugu Jiu and others to pass through the encirclement with great might, and returned the same way.
The whole process was less than three minutes before and after. The Miao village leaders were stunned - what is this? Is this a playhouse? Why did the Tang army look like a paper-paste clay sculpture? It was so easy to capture the commander? Am I not awake in my dream?
No! There must be something strange!
Just as they were about to think about it carefully, Li Mu suddenly shouted: "This leader is protected by the snake spirit, and the gods descend to earth. How can you ordinary people and ordinary people be my opponents! Those who know the appearance quickly withdrew their troops, but those who don't know the appearance will be killed after I kill your Grand Governor's sacrifice flag, and I will kill you without leaving any armor!"
Tang Jian, who was lying on the horse's back, heard this and said depressedly: "You boy are so majestic. I am so old that I have a reputation of being captured!"
"Old Tang, we are all doing our best for the Tang Dynasty. Miaojiang is stable, and you, the governor of Shuzhou, are doing well. Are you planning to retire here?"
"That's the case, alas--" Tang Jian sighed and thought to himself, "You don't have to do so exaggeratedly, you can do your best for the Tang Dynasty. You can do nothing, but you can actually support your elderly care. But he still didn't plan to say this. It's like lending money to others. All the money has been lent out, and you're still muttering what's going on. Just give me a complete gift, why bother to pick it up?
"It's up to you, it's time to end it soon." Tang Jian said, and accepted his fate.
When Li Mu returned, the generals of Bai and Wu tribes ran to the front of the formation. Seeing that Li Mu had captured the enemy commander, his morale was greatly boosted and he shouted that he wanted to kill him, but was stopped by Li Mu. What a joke, he did this, just because he didn't want the Miao people to know how many people came to the court. If he rushed over, his trump card would be missing in one fight.
Moreover, if someone dies, it will be difficult to end.
...
Return with great victory!
The Lingshe Mountain was filled with joy, as if I had forgotten the fact that I was still besieged. When Tang Jian first arrived in Shuzhou, he summoned local officials from all over the country. He had seen his appearance, the elders of the Bai and Wu tribes. Although his outfits were different, he still recognized him well.
The leader really captured Tang Jian. He was the great governor of Shuzhou, a rank-in-law official, and was captured like this.
Could it be that the leader of the sect is really as he said, if God helps him?
"Don't be too arrogant. This time the court confiscated the bandits and dispatched a large army of 50,000, and 10,000 to fight with me. There are still 40,000 to be supervised by General Li Jing, who has not crossed the river yet. Today, I was captured and my morale was dispersed. When General Li Jing crossed the river, he would definitely make a complete victory in one battle. Do you dare to fight with General Li Jing?"
"hiss--"
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the name of Li Jing have long been spread all over the world. The name of King Ping Shichong destroyed Dou Jiande, conquered Xiao Xian and Fu Gong's, and destroyed the Eastern Turks. One by one, it was all unparalleled achievements. Since his birth, he has never had any defeat. This time the court actually used him, which is enough to prove that the court had planned for a long time.
The 50,000 army, under the leadership of Li Jing, even the most conceited Miao people would feel that they were a bit of a killer.
The joy of victory was extinguished by Tang Jian's words. Seeing this, Li Mu laughed in his heart. It seemed that the plan he had come up with had worked.
"What nonsense! I can capture you, but Li Jing. I'll wait for him to come, see if he has three heads and six arms!" After Li Mu said that, he waved his hand, Dugu Jiu came over, blocked Tang Jian's mouth, and took him to the woodshed in the courtyard.
"My sons, don't listen to the thieves and monsters. After the battle just now, you also saw that the Tang army was vulnerable. After eating and drinking, they came, and we dared to fight without fear!"
When Li Mu was speaking, he paid special attention to the elders of the two ministries. Seeing their faces bleak, they felt even more confident. No surprises, they will definitely take action tonight.
...
The elder of the White Ministry was named Kunling. He was an ordinary person. When he was young, he was a Miao doctor. He was loved by his clan members entirely through his medical skills and became the elder of the White Ministry. The elder of the Wu Ministry was just the opposite. His name was Kanchen. He succeeded as the leader of Yueying Village at the age of 20. He retired a few years ago and handed it over to his eldest son.
The two elders have different backgrounds, so their tempers are naturally not right. The Bai and Wu tribes have a long history of hatred, and they don’t need to be right, and they never thought about discussing a solution to one thing together.
But now, it is time for Miaojiang to be exterminated. Two old enemies who have been living forever have to sit down and study hard to come up with a solution.
"Why did your people fall behind this morning?" The Great Elder Kanchen took the lead in questioning the Great Elder Kunling: "Do you want to let our people rush forward? The best people to die are our people. You can reap the benefits of the fisherman? What a vicious heart!"
"Ha! You should say this to you Wu Miao! Old man, how dare you say you don't think so?"
The Great Elder Kanchen was told through his mind, staring at the Great Elder Kunling with his eyes, but he had no shame in denying it. He snorted coldly and said, "No one should tell anyone about this matter. Let's talk about what to do in front of him. The leader lucky enough to catch Mr. Tang. He had already injured the life of the Marquis of Luoyang. If he hurt Mr. Tang's life again, the court would not be willing to rest. Miaojiang has made plans, and there are only a few hundred thousand people. Apart from the old, young, women and children, young and strong people have picked up weapons, and there is no 50,000. The court dispatched 50,000 elite troops this time. If you resist stubbornly, you will know the consequences!"
The Great Elder Kunling knew it, but when he heard the Great Elder Kanchen say this, he still habitually retorted: "I have heard that your Wu Miao is close to the court. This time I can see that they are close. I don't think it will take long to go, and Wu Miao will no longer be a Miao family, and they have become Han people!"
"Stop being sarcastic to me!" The Great Elder Kanchen was also a terrified person and said anxiously: "When is it that ten thousand Tang troops block the mountain gate, and there are still 40,000 crossing the river. Once they fight, can you deal with it or can I deal with it? Do you really want our Miao people to lose their clan and race?"
"What do you think of?" The elder Kunling asked back, not knowing whether it was intentional or casually: "Can we hand over the leader and express our loyalty to the court?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere was stagnant. The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you, but neither of them continued. The eyes of both sides clashed, as if they were waiting for the other party to speak first and give a confirmation reply.
"What do you... mean?" Elder Kanchen's qi cultivation skills were slightly inferior, and he couldn't help asking.
"If you do this," the elder Kunling answered the question irrelevantly and said to himself: "The foundation of the Snake Spirit Cult for thousands of years may be ruined."
The Great Elder Kanchen argued: "The snake spirit is on the saint, not on the leader. As long as the snake spirit can be passed on, how can it be said that it has ruined the snake spirit sect?"
"You have to say that-" The Great Elder Kunling refused to comment: "It's not that unreasonable." "You shouldn't be sarcastic to me!" The Great Elder Kanchen was also a terrified person and said anxiously: "When is it now? Ten thousand Tang troops block the mountain gate, and there are still 40,000 crossing the river. Once they fight, can you deal with it or can I deal with it? Do you really want our Miao people to lose their clan and race?"
