Domineering

Liu Ruoxi always obeyed Chu Xisheng's words.

When she saw Du Wenyuan's head rolling out from the military tent, her eyes froze for a while.

Liu Ruoxi came to her senses immediately, and immediately promised loudly, raised Du Wenyuan's head, and marched forward with a murderous look.

Since the Young Banner Master chopped off Du Wenyuan, he was showing his attitude.I want to fight with those inner city families in Xiushui County and the prefect.

Liu Ruoxi's eyes are as sharp as a knife, either the enemy will die today or I will die!

"Lord Lu Tan, you go to the town to collect linen and white cloth later. After this battle, the whole army will be wiped out!" Chu Xisheng in the tent was still holding a knife, looking coldly at the people in the tent.

"Everyone, the prefect set up a trap to harm my crazy uncle, and Chu is at odds with him, so he must sleep on his skin and eat his flesh, so as to eliminate my hatred!
You are all brothers of my Xishantang, and members of the Iron Banner Gang. You share weal and woe with Chu, and are closely related.Are you willing to join hands with Chu to overcome this difficulty? "

The altar masters under his command, headed by Li Shenshan, all agreed.

Many Orion leaders, on the other hand, mostly felt helpless.However, they still got up at the first time and bowed to answer.

Those thieves and bandits in the past plundered wantonly in Xishan, and they took the initiative to ask the head of the Xishan hall master.

Not long ago, Captain Xiushui used the pretext of suppressing bandits to sweep up Xishan, and it was also Xishantang who sent troops to help them defeat the county army.

And all the people had offered incense in front of the statue of the "Loyalty and Longevity Emperor" and made an oath to take Chu Xisheng and Xishantang as their leaders.

No matter how worried or unwilling they are at this time, they cannot refuse at this time.

At most, it will be more careful in the later battle.

As for the heads of some wealthy households headed by Dan Chiling in the tent, they also stood up reluctantly and responded feebly.

They just came here to show some courtesy and give Xishan Hall a strong reputation. They really never thought about making enemies of the imperial court and raising the flag to rebel.

This Chu Yidao is simply crazy, in this current situation, he still wants to hold everyone to his death.

But everyone dared to slander in their hearts. They all noticed Chu Xisheng's indifferent expression and the Xun Feng Zhen Lei Saber in his hand.

Anyone with a little shrewdness could see Chu Xisheng's murderous intentions hidden.

At this time, if you dare to stand up and sing the opposite tune, you may lose your head.

"very good!"

Chu Xisheng nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced at the people in the tent, and saw that the vast majority of them were frowning, with worried eyes; some even avoided looking at him subconsciously; Sluggish and dazed, dejected, absent-minded.

Chu Xisheng thought that the morale of these people can be imagined.

So some things that should be made clear should be broken down and said, and these people should not be forced to bow their heads.

Otherwise, if we fight together later, it will be himself who suffers in the end.

Chu Xisheng raised his knife and walked in front of Dan Chiling: "Master Dan, you are a smart man. What is the prefect Sikong Chan wanting me to surrender? Tell the truth."

Dan Chiling looked at the knife he was holding, and swallowed his saliva: "It should be a tactic to delay the attack!"

Chu Xisheng danced a sword flower, and continued to ask: "Then your Dan family's property, and the wealth of the squires in Xishan, can you keep it?"

Dan Chiling thought of the tens of thousands of taels of magic silver he had sent to the prefect's wife.

The problem is that the prefect's wife Han Yuyan is gone, does the prefect still admit it?

Dan Chiling couldn't help but secretly sighed, and said sincerely: "I'm afraid that if you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin."

Hearing the words, the more than twenty heads of wealthy and wealthy households in the tent couldn't help but look serious.

"That's the truth!"

Chu Xisheng turned around and looked at these rich and powerful households with luxurious clothes and full armor: "To be honest, I haven't studied the art of war seriously, but I know that the more others don't want you to do it, the more problematic it will be.

Therefore, the more the prefect wants to talk about peace, the more he wants to appease, the more Chu wants to make trouble, the more he wants to try to see if he can break the sky of Xiushui County.Master Dan, let me ask you again, do those inner city families in Xiushui County have the guts to fight us desperately?Is the governor willing to protect Sikong Chan at all costs? "

Dan Chiling's face moved slightly, and he understood Chu Xisheng's thoughts.

His thoughts turned, and he cupped his hands with admiration on his face: "Those families in the inner city have profound heritage, but they definitely don't want to hurt both of us! As for the governor, his term of office has been less than a year. It is said that this person has been in office recently. He is active in the court and wants to take over as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials. At this juncture, he must not want to rule and cause chaos."

Dan Chiling originally thought of forbearance first, and all members of their Xishan Hall hid in Xishan, and endured until Chu Xisheng joined the Wuxiang Sect, and guarded until the clouds opened to see the moon.

At this moment, he thought that since Chu Xi wished to be in the front, it seemed good to make a fuss, right?Why would you just give up your own family property and give it up to the Shen family and the Shangguan family?
He is the clearest about the virtues of these aristocratic families.How could those guys be willing to invest their capital and lose both sides with Xishantang?
What's more, at this time, there is still half a year before the day when the Wuxiang Shenzong will open the mountain gate.

Can they really protect Chu Xisheng until that time?

Once Sikong Chan has stabilized the situation, he can easily mobilize a large amount of resources.

At that time, they, the Iron Banner Gang, are afraid that they will be slaughtered.

"That's it." Chu Xisheng sneered: "The so-called murder and arson will be recruited! If the Inner Palace Army is still there, Chu will immediately lead the army to retreat to Xishan without saying a word, but now the Inner Palace Army has been captured by the Banner Lord. After being severely injured and defeated, Chu wants to see if Sikong Chan can hold on to the post of prefect!"

He found that the heads of the rich and powerful families all looked slightly shaken, and each fell into meditation, and finally put the long knife in his hand back into the sheath.

"Wei Yang! You will command a thousand troops later and supervise the battle on the left wing of our army. All those who dare to disobey orders, fail to fight effectively, and run away, beheaded!"

The more than [-] big households in the tent couldn't help but twitch.

Most of their troops are on the left wing.

In the past, it was understood with reason and moved with emotion, but now it is threatened with swords and guns, and forced with force.

It seems that the young banner owner still can't trust them——

Chu Xisheng paced again, and when he came in front of those hunters, he cupped his hands: "Chu promised you at the beginning that he would protect all the hunters in the Western Mountains and lead everyone to live a good life. May I ask the village chiefs, leaders, to decide on your own. Since the alliance, have you ever broken your promise?"

Those leaders were flattered, and they all responded with 'never'.

Xishantang did not break its promise. Now that they are hunting in the mountains, not only do they not need to pay money to the bandits.All kinds of prey sold now have more than doubled the income.

Even the peace money Xishantang collected was used on themselves.

It is precisely because their lives are much better than before that they attract several Orion villages around to move here.

Some of the thin-skinned people among them were even red-faced.

Master Shao Banner is truly benevolent and unparalleled in doing things for others, there is nothing to say!

These people are a little ungrateful.

Chu Xisheng's face was sincere: "Chu always speaks with his words. Now that the Xishan Canal has been opened, everyone's good life is in front of us, but now there is a change. Everyone, the ancients said that the skin does not exist. How can Mao be attached?

Our Xishan Church is rooted in Xishan, and we are closely related to everyone.But if the Iron Banner Gang is gone and the imperial court occupies Xishan Town, what is your future prospect? "

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled recklessly: "In this world, the more forbearing you are, the more you can't survive. Even if the prefect is kind enough to let you live, but you can't eat enough to eat like before, what's the point of eating chaff and vegetables?
Instead of this, you might as well follow Chu to fight!Most of you have personally experienced the battle of Black Bear Mountain, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are nothing more than that.

We still have 5 Iron Banner gang members, and [-] bows and knives. Including Jiang Shang's brothers, there are more than [-] people in total. Why can't we turn Xiushui's sky over?Why do you bow your head to the prefect?As long as that prefect is pulled off the stage, from now on, Xiushui County will be decided by us Xishan people! "

Those Orion leaders were taken aback when they heard the words, they looked at each other, and they all saw a bit of wonder in each other's eyes.

What the Young Banner Master said also made sense.

They all thought of Heixiong Mountain. Those county troops and family soldiers seemed to be like that, and they hadn't been beaten much.

And just after a breath, these people promised in unison: "I will die for the young banner master!"

There were only about thirty of them, and when their voices converged, they were like thunder, and they spread far out of the tent.

But Chu Xisheng knew that the morale of the people under his command seemed to have been boosted by him at this time.

Mind is still a piece of loose sand.

As long as there is a slight setback, the morale of the army will be dissipated immediately.

Chu Xisheng then strode to the map in the center of the tent: "Although the Xiushui coalition army opposite us has a large number of people, they are all mobs. However, there is a saying in the art of war. Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically, you need to pay attention to the enemy. I thought about it." A way to defeat the enemy, you can listen to it.

The southeast wind is blowing now, but after two quarters, the wind direction will change and turn to southwest wind, this is our chance to defeat the enemy—"

※※※※

After half a moment, everyone in the tent dispersed.

Chu Yunyun watched intently, and found that the faces of these people were still as serious as iron, but their eyes were full of light.

Chu Yunyun smiled, walked behind Chu Xisheng, and helped Chu Xisheng put on white hemp and filial piety.

Although the incident happened suddenly today, it was easy for them to temporarily collect a few sets of filial piety clothes and white linen.

Tie Kuangren had no children, and his nephew Jia Dali also died in the Mi family village. This death can only be done by the de facto heir Chu Xisheng.

Emotionally and rationally, this is the responsibility he must fulfill.

"Your eloquence is very good, I am far behind you."

Chu Yunyun straightened Chu Xisheng's collar, and her sky-blue eyes were full of appreciation: "It's clearly a situation where people's hearts are scattered, but you actually incited them to the point where the army's morale can be used."

Chu Xisheng's face was flat: "Everyone is after profit! For the immediate benefit, life and death are often disregarded. I just told them that they still have a chance to keep their jobs, so I don't have to worry about their unwillingness to use their lives."

Lu Luanli was watching, and she found that Chu Yunyun's movements of dressing Chu Xisheng were extremely gentle.

Lu Luanli felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She shook her head violently, wondering what she was thinking?Chu Yunyun is just Chu Xisheng's younger sister——

Lu Luanli tried to divert his attention with words: "Actually, brother, you are really taking a risk this time. If one is not good, you may be labeled as a traitor by the court. Madman Tie told you to 'forbear', although a bit aggrieved, but is the real best policy.

Before he died, he single-handedly injured Sikong Chan and the inner government army, just to make Sikong Chan powerless to target you again.Only by worshiping the Wuxiang Sect can the deadlock of the Iron Banner Gang be resolved. "

"You are wrong." Chu Xisheng smiled, his eyes cold: "Uncle Kuang, a hero of his generation, is dying, but his mind is not clear. He actually expects the enemy to show mercy to us! The army suffered heavy losses, so I did not report any hope.

Don't you think about it, the eunuch of the Dongzhou Neifu has suffered such a heavy loss this time, can he let it go?How to recover the loss?The eunuchs of the inner government did not run the shantang, and Sikong Chan was not his close relative, they were just accomplices.He sent troops to help Sikong Chan, it could only be that Sikong Chan promised him great benefits.

Let me ask you again, if you were Sikong Chan, how would you appease the eunuch's resentment at this time?Don't make the eunuchs of the inner government angry at him. "

Lu Luanli's face suddenly became serious, and he had already realized it: "Iron Banner Gang?"

Sikong Chan will definitely intensify his efforts and use all his strength to attack the upstream and downstream industries of the Iron Banner Gang and hand them over to the eunuch of the Dongzhou Neifu.

It was a feat for him.

Not only can it stabilize allies with the benefits of the Iron Banner Gang, but it can also completely eliminate future troubles.

Lu Luanli thought that this guy was not blinded by hatred and bent on going his own way.

"That's why I can't let Sikong Chan calm down! Now that the Iron Banner Gang has fallen into his net, either they are killed or the net is broken. Our only hope is to get rid of this net while we still have some strength." broken."

After Chu Xisheng said this, he looked down at Chu Yunyun again: "After two quarters, will the wind direction really change, to the southwest?"

About the change of the wind vane, it was Chu Yunyun who secretly told him through voice transmission.

"I am a magician, and I have a bit of talent in this area."

Chu Yunyun smiled back, with infinite confidence in her eyes.

Observing the wind and clouds and identifying celestial phenomena are the most basic skills of a famous general.

She had already tied a hemp rope around Chu Xisheng, and said curiously: "You just said that you need to despise the enemy in strategy and pay attention to the enemy in tactics. It is very reasonable, and it is very important in the art of war. But brother, where did you come from?" From the perspective of the art of war, why have I never seen it before?"

Chu Yunyun suspected that this was probably Chu Xisheng's family education.

It originated from the founding army god of Daning——

Chu Xisheng shook her head slightly: "I don't remember, I just vaguely remember someone saying that."

It is difficult for him to explain this sentence, it comes from the mouth of a great man from another world.

Chu Xisheng then put his hand on the knife and lifted the tent and said, "Let's go! It's time for those sorcerers to fog up."

※※※※

At the same time, Wang Zheng was standing in front of the entire army, looking ahead solemnly.

The momentum of the Xiushui coalition army is overwhelming, with a total of [-] county troops, plus several clan soldiers from several aristocratic families, a total of more than [-] people are forming an array about one mile wide, slowly pressing towards them.

In the city, soldiers from aristocratic families continued to pour out to join them, and the number may have exceeded [-].

Wang Zheng has seen human blood, and has accumulated more than [-] human lives in his hands, and has even experienced the battle of tens of thousands of people in Black Bear Mountain.

At this moment, however, his heart trembled and his scalp became tense.

Wang Zheng is not afraid.

After all, it was his first time experiencing such a large-scale battle, so he was inevitably nervous.

——This is no longer a fight in the rivers and lakes, but a serious battle on the battlefield, almost rebellious.

At this time, Wang Zheng noticed that Xiang Kui from the 'Northern Heaven Gate' was approaching him quietly.

Wang Zheng frowned, and asked directly, "What are you doing here?"

Both of them worked under Lu Luanli's command. Because of their outstanding achievements in the previous few battles and their rapid improvement in cultivation, they were both promoted to deputy altar masters, each in charge of No. 30 people.

Although they are colleagues, the Beitianmen and the Nantianmen became mortal enemies after the split.

Years ago in the library, Wang Zheng felt that he had been trapped by Xiang Kui, and he had always been at odds with Xiang Kui.

Xiang Kui looked helpless: "Brother Wang, the North and South Tianmen were one family a thousand years ago, and you and I are brothers in the same gang now, why are we so divided?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zheng sneered.

Xiang Kui also knew this, so she couldn't fool this guy, so she got straight to the point and said in a concentrated voice, "Brother Wang, what do you think about the current situation of the Iron Banner Gang?"

Wang Zheng sneered secretly, and spoke impassionedly: "What else can I think? I should do my best! The reward of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king. Brother Chu is very kind to me and supports me very much. Wang should die for him!

Besides, senior brother Chu has a lot of martial arts skills, and what he said in the big tent before was also very encouraging. I think the Iron Banner gang is lucky and will be able to survive this catastrophe. "

He guessed that Xiang Kui already had a different heart.

The Iron Banner gang is in full swing, and judging from the results of his months of investigation in Xishan Hall, there is nothing here!

Only those two half-demon masters are a bit suspicious, but the question is what does this have to do with them?
However, Wang Zheng is still ready to fight with all his heart.

Before finding the Nishen Banner, most of them still have to mix in the Wuxiang Shenzong's system.

Chu Xisheng was highly valued by the Wuxiang Sect. If he ran away without a fight this time, or refused to use his heart and strength, what would the instructors in Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy and his fellow disciples think of him?

On the contrary, the better I perform now, the better I will be able to get along in Wuxiang Shenzong in the future.

not to mention--

Twenty feet away to Wang Zheng's right, a tall woman with slightly dark and smooth skin looked over.

That's counting money.

Although she is the leader of Chu Xisheng's personal guard, this time she was placed in front of the whole army, leading Chu Xisheng's personal guard and Shengzitan to attack the enemy.

But Chu Xisheng said so, but everyone knew that this woman was assigned to supervise the battle.

Wang Zheng felt that this woman was dangerous, and he had better restrain himself.

The key point is that Wang Zheng can't trust the sunflower from Beitianmen.

If he said something and was caught by this person, there might be a disaster.

Xiang Kui was taken aback when she heard the words.

He was indeed not very optimistic about the Iron Banner Gang and Chu Xisheng, and wanted to find Wang Zheng of Nantianmen to communicate.

The two belong to the 'Ranzitan', it is best to reach an alliance, agree to advance and retreat together, and take care of each other.

It's just that Wang Zheng's response surprised him a bit.

Why is this guy so excited?There is nothing in this Xishan hall, right?Common sense shouldn't take this opportunity to get out early?
Could it be that this guy's head has been fooled, and he really wants to sell his life to Chu Xisheng?
wrong--

Xiang Kui wondered, is Wang Zheng such a person?He must have a reason for doing this!

Could it be that Wang Zheng of Nantianmen found something in Xishan Hall?
His eyes moved, and then his blood boiled. He patted Wang Zheng's shoulder with pride, and said loudly: "Good brother! You are right, the young banner owner is unparalleled in kindness and righteousness. It is really a blessing that Xiang can serve him! Today we brothers Let's fight this Xiushui prefect! Let's see if this official lord crushes us, or if we pull him down and let him lose his position!"

Xiang Kui's voice falls,
Wang Zheng of Nantianmen's pupils froze. This guy is heroic and full of fighting spirit. It seems that he really intends to go all out?

But why?

At this time, in the queue of the 'Ranzitan', there were more than a dozen people looking at the two of them with serious expressions.

Ji Qianqian in the distance seemed to have heard their discussions.She looked over, smiled at them, and nodded slightly, as if to express her appreciation.

The men of our Xishan Hall should have this kind of spirit!

Counting money is thinking in my heart.

How could a group of youngsters work hard for Chu Xisheng for no reason?
This is clearly a weasel's New Year's greetings, either adultery or robbery!

There must be a reason for it!

Counting the money, Qian thought that this Xishan hall could not be collapsed, otherwise she worked so hard, kept a low profile and started a small business, and invested so much manpower and resources, what was it for?
When she returns to the capital in the future, what will her colleagues think of her?

At this moment, a thick white mist filled the battlefield and floated towards the formation of the Xiushui coalition army on the opposite side.

At the same time, Chu Xisheng temporarily set up more than [-] Yuxi knights, galloping on horses, conveying Chu Xisheng's military order to the whole army.

"The whole army marches forward! The Master of the Young Banner has something to tell you, the enemy is a mob! As long as we, Xishantang, are united and march forward, we will be invincible and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The leader of the young banner has already set a heavy reward, if he wins a big victory today, everyone in the whole army will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!In addition, one person will be rewarded with five taels, the ninth grade will be rewarded with 20 taels, and the eighth grade will be rewarded with 50 taels!Killing seventh-rank, or six eighth-rank, can directly ascend to the altar master!Remember, there is no need for heads when reporting meritorious deeds, the altar masters and the leaders of each department will make visual statistics, and report the military exploits afterwards! "

At this moment, more than [-] people in Xishan Hall all stepped forward at the same time, marching forward in formation, making a roaring sound.

The orderly footsteps shook the surrounding area for several miles, and also changed the colors of the soldiers of the Xiushui Allied Forces in front.
