Ji Tang

Outside Chang'an City, the head of the Linghu family was sitting on the table with a livid face.

Linghu Duan died, with no bones left. In the end, the body was not even put together.That was the seed that their Linghu family had cultivated for many years, and it was just gone.

The culprit who killed him was none other than Ji Song, whom he wished he could cut into pieces.No one expected that a mere man would not only kill thousands of the dead soldiers of the Linghu family, but even Linghu Duan would die as well.

"Mr. Linghu, according to the latest information, Ji Song should be going to Tiecheng," the head of the Yu family said carefully.

"Tiecheng? What a great skill, but I underestimated that guy. He was just a cripple, but he was able to escape death."

"Give me the order. Anyone who encounters the Ji family should not hold back. I will arrest them all. I will kill them all under Chang'an City!"

The head of the Linghu family gritted his teeth and said that he was now angry with Ji Song. He originally wanted to save his life and contribute to the Linghu family in the future, but now it seems that this is a disaster. If he does not die for a day, he will have trouble sleeping and eating!
"It's too late!"

Yu Qian's face was very ugly and he said: "I'm afraid Ji Song will care about sending a message back. Even if he doesn't, with Ji's strength, we really can't touch him."

The head of the Linghu family paused for a moment, and he quickly understood what the other party meant.

Why not touch Ji?

Nothing but strength!

They are not alone, and who is not a family behind them?They were rebelling for no other reason than to force the emperor to agree to some of their conditions.If they lose, they are sure that they will not be killed.

But if they really lose, once Ji Song is still alive, then they will suffer endless revenge from the Ji family.Thinking of Ji's clan soldiers, although they were small in number, they only took action a few times.But every time they take action, people are stunned. What happened to Qiang and Di back then is still vivid in their minds now. It was not far from their hometown.

Just like that, a clan with a population of [-] and tens of thousands of soldiers was wiped out by the soldiers of more than a hundred tribesmen of the Ji clan.None of the leaders survived overnight, and they were all killed silently in the middle of the night.

They ask themselves that they don't have such ability. Once Ji is completely angered, no one can withstand Ji's revenge without changing any rules.

"Forget it, that's the end of the matter!"

He knew there was no point in getting entangled anymore. Ji Song had already arrived at Tiecheng, which was the largest weapons manufacturing city in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the weapons and armor in the army came from there every year. There were [-] elite guards guarding the city, and there were even more people inside the city. Tens of thousands of strong craftsmen.They don't have the ability to capture it in a short time.

It was not that they had not thought about it at first, but the emperor valued Tiecheng more than anyone else. Their many infiltrations failed without success, and even suffered heavy losses, so they had to give up in the end.

"What about the academy? We can put aside the others for the time being, but the academy must be captured. It contains the most elite heritage of the Tang Dynasty. Once captured, we will be completely invincible. Unless Li Shimin is willing."

He sneered: "The existence of the academy has become more and more important over the years. Now at least half of the middle and low-level officials in the court come from the academy. Their students, friends, classmates, teachers, as well as so many great Confucians and masters, I don't believe him. I dare to risk my life and abandon these people."

"If he really dares, that would be even better. Let's see how he faces the scholars in the world, unless he wants to isolate himself from the world and let the Tang Dynasty isolate himself from the scholars."

“When the time comes, we don’t need to say anything, those civil servants will speak for us, when the time comes.”

Yu Cheng suddenly realized it and quickly praised: "High, it is really high. In this way, we have a bargaining chip, and we are not afraid that he will not agree to our conditions."

"Compared to the conditions we proposed, those talents are his weakness!"

"Yes, don't think that their indulgence towards us can be hidden from me? He is waiting for an opportunity to completely eliminate us, but are we also waiting for an opportunity to kill us with one blow?"

"The academy only has [-] soldiers led by Cheng Chusi of the academy city, but the academy has no city walls. As soon as the army arrives, why don't we just let us run wild?"

When he got excited, he stood up and said loudly: "Send the order, abandon the cholera Guanzhong plan, and have all other troops gather towards the academy. We must break through the academy within three days and capture everyone in the academy."

"Hahahaha~ Guanzhong is our foundation after all. Compared with cholera Guanzhong forcing the court to bow its head, the academy's own talents are our talisman!"

"Mr. Linghu is wise, I will make arrangements right away, so that no one from the academy will be left behind!"
-
The next day, while Ji Song was waiting anxiously, Cheng Yaojin ran in excitedly and laughed loudly: "Hahaha~ Sure enough, the old guy fell into the trap. Now the rebels who were scattered in Guanzhong are heading towards We are gathering in the academy and we will arrive tonight at the latest. Now, we can finally decide the outcome with one blow!"

Call ~
Ji Song breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, they still have some brains, but it depends on whether they are iron-headed or not. Want to win the academy? Dreaming can be more realistic!"

"What should we do now? Should we go?" Cheng Yaojin asked curiously.

You know, since yesterday, Ji Song has ordered them to stand still. If the other party continues the plan of Cholera Guanzhong, they will immediately lead people to strangle and drive them away.

But now the plan has changed, and he is also curious about what Ji Song thinks?
"No." He refused without thinking.

"Now they are pinning all their hopes on whether they can break into the academy. If we go at this time, they will definitely do it at all costs. Once things change and they are crazy, there is no guarantee that they will not restart their previous plan."

"so."

"Let's go to Chang'an"

"Going to Chang'an?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned. Didn't he say he couldn't go before?Besides, just tens of thousands of them want to break through Chang'an?It's a joke, not to mention that there are nearly [-] of the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City, but to say that the soldiers of various noble families gathered together is a force that cannot be ignored.In addition, there is sufficient food in Chang'an city and there is no March siege. Do they want to take Chang'an?Go ahead and dream!
"Yes, let's go to Chang'an!"

"But..." Ji Song said with a playful smile on his face, "But let's go slower, and then" he said a few words in Cheng Yaojin's ear under Cheng Yaojin's puzzled eyes.Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his mouth broke.
Tiecheng is not far from Chang'an, only more than thirty miles, and it takes an hour's journey under the power of the cavalry.But now there are no cavalry under Ji Song's command, so he can only walk over.

I saw an army of more than [-] people rushing toward Chang'an in a sparse manner. Even the military flags were swaying. How could they look like the elite of the Tang Dynasty?
However, this scene was perfectly normal in the eyes of the rebel spies.After all, this is an army that has just experienced fratricide. It would be strange if it really maintained its morale.When the head of the Linghu family learned that Ji Song had gone to Chang'an, he no longer had any scruples.He quickly ordered the remaining troops in Guanzhong to gather towards the academy, and sent generals on the other side to block the reinforcements of the Sixteenth Guards and Ji Song at Baqiao, trying to buy time.

However, what they didn't know was that after Ji Song entered the Sixteenth Guards Army Camp, he disappeared into the night with tens of thousands of cavalrymen in the evening.While the spies were being cleared away, no one knew that a cavalry force of ten thousand people had disappeared.

In Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin looked at the letter sent by Yu Chigong and burned it immediately after reading it.

"Father, Academy"

Li Chengqian looked hesitant. He didn't expect that the other party would be so frantic that he wanted to attack the academy.This is simply asking for death. Even if they win, the end result will be absolutely miserable.

Taking action in the academy is an enemy of more than half of the officials in the imperial court, and even more of an enemy of the scholars in the world. It is also a fight to the death against the royal family.

You must know that the emperor has always been the dean of the academy. These people are nominally disciples of the emperor. How dare they do this?

Aren't you afraid of life and death and the annihilation of your clan?

"What else do they dare not do now? They are just trying to survive. They are a group of desperadoes. How much conscience do you expect them to have?"

"However, since they are anxious to die, they can't blame others. Before, I was worried that they would die, but now I am not worried. If they fall into Ji Song's trap, how many people can survive depends on their fate!"

"Okay, tell me to go down and guard the city gate. No one is allowed to leave the city to fight in the field without my order."

"promise!"
-
Ji's Zhuangzi, at this time, Zhuangzi has been empty of people, and the third uncle is getting old. Now he can only sit in a wheelchair and look at the home at the foot of the hill.

"Grandpa, do we really want to leave? My grandson can't bear to leave!"

Behind our third uncle is his grandson, named Ji Wei, from Wei River.He is his youngest son, a son only born in his fifties. He can be said to be a son of old age, and he has been doted on since he was a child.

But Ji Wei did not develop a dandy temperament. He went to Ji's Academy as soon as he could study, and then went to the Academy Primary School and the University Hall.Over the years, both teachers and classmates have highly praised him.Some people even praised him as a talented person of the Ji family.

Whether it is martial arts or knowledge, he is much better than his peers, and Ji takes great care of him.

This is where he grew up. In the pine forest, there is a pine tree that he planted with his own hands when he was a child. Now it has lush branches and leaves, is strong and strong!
"Grandpa is reluctant to part with it, but my child, you must understand one truth. If you save the land and lose people, you will lose both people and land; if you save people and lose the land, you will save both people and land."

"Talent is the most important thing, everything else is external."

Ji Wei was very smart and quickly understood this sentence, but it sounded familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it before?

"Is it familiar?"

The third uncle looked at his grandson with doting eyes.This child has been smart since he was a child and is considered a leader among his peers.Although the knowledge is sufficient, the vision and experience are still far behind!
When this matter is over, send him to Chang'an to find his brother. As the head of the Ji family, he has the time to train children from other families. If he has such an outstanding child in his own family, he will accept it no matter what. If he dares not to accept it, he will use crutches. Give him a few swats.

Seeing the child's blank expression, the third uncle smiled and said, "This is what your cousin said. He said that the most precious thing about the Ji family has never been land and money, but people, living, flesh and blood people."

"Ever since he became the head of the family, he has required that every child of the Ji family must learn one to three survival skills before reaching adulthood. To put it bluntly, it is something that allows you to survive with your own skills and hands when you have nothing. "

"No matter the type, whether it's martial arts, reading, cooking, carpentry, blacksmith, painter, any skill that can help you survive is a good skill."

"He said that a useless scholar is the most useless person. A person who can only read is the most useless. If you can't turn the knowledge in books into your own, it will be a pile of useless words, just dead things!"

When Ji Wei heard about the cousin whom he had only met a few times, his face was full of admiration.In school, the classmates all regard their cousin's deeds as their goals. He is the person that everyone is chasing.

"Grandpa, my grandson understands what you mean!"

He looked at the beautiful Zhuangzi at the foot of the hill. Every plant and tree here was so familiar.But soon, this beautiful Zhuangzi may no longer exist.

He hated those rebels so much that if his grandfather hadn't allowed it, he would have picked up fake armor and swords and joined the army.

"Let's go. Your cousin has predicted that such a day would come sooner or later, but who could have imagined that it would come so soon. But it doesn't matter. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. It will be rebuilt in the future. It's just..."

He looked at the plants and trees in front of him, and his heart was bleeding!
He watched it being built bit by bit with his own eyes, and the medicine garden by the river was what Brother Song used to make money for everyone to survive.The simple school that had no students for a long time was built brick by brick by myself, my second brother, and the Ji family's children.That was the beginning of Ji's rise.

Year after year, day after day, the bare soil mountains in the early years have now been covered by pines, bamboo forests, and ginkgo trees.These were planted by Ji's children themselves.Some even leave a message for themselves when their families are separated.

"Damn rebels, you are just waiting for me. I, Ji, will not be a human until I take revenge."
-
Less than an hour after they left, an army of thousands of people appeared outside Zhuangzi. However, their condition was very bad. Many of them were still injured. They didn't know what they had just experienced?That’s why he’s so embarrassed!
"Damn it, Mr. Ji, why did Zhuangzi create so many traps and hidden weapons?" A middle-aged man who looked like a general yelled.

He is a descendant of the Yuan family, and he didn't want to come here because his family had previously told him not to attack the Ji family without authorization.

Although he was not angry, he could only agree.He is just a side branch of the family, and many things are not clear at all.The reason why he came was because he happened to be passing by.

Hearing that this was Ji's Zhuangzi, he immediately rolled his eyes and thought about it. It's not too much to borrow some money from Ji's to spend it, right? Who in Chang'an doesn't know that Ji Song is extremely rich, so they probably won't care, right?

As for the head of the family, his misfortune ran to the back of his mind. When he thought about it, they were all enemies anyway, so why should he be so polite?
However, he regretted it as soon as he entered. Who the hell knew that there was a murderous intention hidden in this seemingly peaceful bamboo forest.The journey was less than three miles, but it took thousands of people to get here.This was the result of his extensive cutting down of bamboo forests, which rendered many traps and hidden weapons useless. Otherwise, the losses would be even greater. (End of chapter)
