Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 454 Target Taiyang
"If you conquer the four cities of Taiyang, Liyang, Babbler, and Weishan first by means of thunder, and kill all the rebellious nobles, the rest of the rebellion will be insignificant!"

Huan Chang got up and shouted sharply.

Although these four cities defected to the powerful sects, as long as Song Guo really sent an army to destroy them, these sects might not be able to resist.

After all, due to the constraints of the Kyushu Treaty, the major sects did not dare to send warriors from the mortal state to participate in the battle, and not all sects recruited many soldiers like the Juye Gang and the Shanhai Gang.

The vast majority of sects concentrate all their manpower and material resources on cultivating sect disciples, and they don't have too many troops.

"The army is assembled, first attack Taiyang City, which has defected to the Seven Star Sect!"

Taiyang City, county government.

Several gorgeously dressed nobles gathered together, all with anxious expressions on their faces.

"I really didn't expect that Duke Song would dare to send an army to Taiyang when the domestic situation is so corrupt."

One of the old men with a majestic complexion was full of disbelief in his tone.

"The old man's words are wrong. Although the territory of the Song Dynasty seems to be full of rebellions, it is just that the powerful and nobles in many places have raised their troops. As long as the people are not disappointed with the government, it is nothing."

"In the final analysis, Duke Song is the orthodox of the country. Once the imperial army captures a few cities that defected to the sect, the rest of the scattered rebellions can be spread."

"Furthermore, Duke Song is highly valued by the people, and the new laws promulgated by the general did not affect the interests of the people, so the foundation of the Song Kingdom has not been shaken."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt retorted.

This person is a well-known scribe in Taiyang City, and he was also born in a noble family. He didn't like the new law promulgated by the Song Dynasty very much, so he colluded with several nobles.

It's just that the middle-aged scribes have a bit of air in their conversations. Due to their high reputation, even if several people present here are of noble origin, they dare not neglect the middle-aged scribes.

"According to what you said, isn't it a wise move for us to change our flag and join the Seven Star Sect this time?"

Another fat nobleman said with a serious face.

"No."

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged scribe shook his head, and then sneered: "The new law has touched the interests of the entire aristocratic circle. Even though the other six lineage patriarchs of the Song Dynasty did not speak out against it, they are still dissatisfied."

"Duke Song's move has lost the hearts of the nobles in the country."

"Of course, if Duke Song is given ten years to fully promote the new law, and there will be a large number of new nobles who benefit from the new law, then we will be powerless."

"But don't forget that apart from the clan and nobles in the Song Kingdom, the power of the sect should not be underestimated."

"In all fairness, although the new law of Song State will touch our interests, it can also make the people of Song State more cohesive and make Song State even stronger."

"The rise of the Song Kingdom is definitely not what those sects hope to see."

"Therefore, I can conclude that with the promotion of the new law of the Song Dynasty, the sects in the territory will definitely unite. At that time, this vigorous reform may come to an end without a problem."

"Even Duke Song himself will be implicated. At that time, with the support of our sect, we will return to Song State again, and our power will be greater than before."

"So, our choice is not wrong."

Several nobles had different expressions upon hearing this.

Don't look at these nobles dedicating Taiyang City to the Seven Star Sect, but they didn't really think about joining the Seven Star Sect, they just used each other.

The nobles living in the Song Dynasty are definitely more free than the nobles who are attached to the sect.

"However, the general is now personally leading an army of [-] men in a murderous spirit. With the small county town of Taiyang, how can he stop those tiger and wolf troops?"

The old man's tone was full of worry, and the rest of the nobles nodded secretly when they heard the words.

"Don't worry, my lord. We can ask for help from the Seven Star Sect. As a first-class sect, the Seven Star Sect has an extremely deep foundation. Even if the general leads an army of [-], it may not be easy to break the city."

"Even if the city is bound to be breached, we can take our family members to the Seven Star Sect to take refuge temporarily, and then wait for the opportunity to move."

"I don't believe that with the [-] new troops led by the general, they can conquer the first-class sect, Seven Star Sect!"

The eyes of the rest of the nobles lit up when they heard this.

These people only care about their own interests and lives, and don't care about who the city really belongs to. As long as they can get the protection of the Seven Star Sect, they don't have any psychological burden even if they abandon the city and flee.

In the final analysis, these nobles are all parasites of the Song Dynasty, and they are also a very selfish group of people.

"Since that's the case, then quickly send someone to ask for help from the Seven Star Sect."

"If the Seven Star Sect sends a large number of strong men, we will defend the city and wait for the situation in the Song Kingdom to deteriorate. If the number of strong men sent is not enough, we will just abandon the city and flee."

The chubby noble finally made the decision, revealing his unusual identity.

And listening to his words, this person is quite scheming, knowing that if the general cannot quickly conquer a few cities that defected to the sect, the situation in the Song Kingdom will further deteriorate.

"Yes, we must quickly send someone to the Seven Star Sect for help."

"Although the general is young, he has also experienced battles for a long time. He knows the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast. It shouldn't be long before he leads his troops to kill him."

The middle-aged scribe also nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, the old man smiled and said: "Shangqiu is hundreds of miles away from here, and Huanchang's son leads an army of [-], and it will take at least a month to kill him."

"Furthermore, the people we send to ask for help are martial arts experts, so the speed is naturally very fast. As long as the Seven Star Sect is willing to send an expert to help, it won't take long to go into battle with light clothes."

"More than a month is enough for people from the Seven Star Sect to come to help!"

The chubby nobleman said: "Although that is the case, I should try to ask for help from the Seven Star School as soon as possible. I am worried that the Seven Star School will not come to help because of the might of the Song army, and will not give a definite answer, and then drag the envoy to the Seven Star School. .”

But the middle-aged scribe smiled and said: "This matter is simple, just tell the envoy that if the Seven Star Sect doesn't reply, you must return within three days, then you will know the attitude of the Seven Star Sect."

"In this way, we also have time to plan early."

Everyone nodded, and immediately sent people to the Seven Star Sect for help.

On the official road, Huan Chang rode at the front on a big black horse, with an army of [-] troops stretching for more than ten li behind him, and the momentum was extremely huge.

But what makes people feel strange is that this army did not rush to Taiyang non-stop, but wiped out the chaos along the way.

In fact, there were not many rebels who were suppressed by the army, because those rebels scattered and fled after learning the news that the army passed by.

The prestige of the general can be seen.
