Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 263 Is it possible that Ji Ren’s army is more terrifying than the Baijie soldiers?
"Folks, believe in the imperial court. Thieves Dong and others are not immortals who save you, but demons who devour your flesh and blood. Before the rebellion, you were exploited and had your bones and marrow sucked out by unjust officials. After the rebellion, you were exploited by the Dong family and others. A large number of Wealth has been taken away by them, and you can't even get a share of the scraps. Life was miserable before the rebellion, but life is still miserable after the rebellion. What's the point of the rebellion? It's you who sacrifice your lives, but others enjoy the happiness."

Three days passed by in a flash.

Jiren's army rested and set out again.

Before leaving, Zhou Kuan looked at the young and old in Dongjiazhuang and said emotionally.

The young and old in Dongjiazhuang looked at Zhou Kuan on the horse with complicated expressions, showing both respect and fear, but also a hint of intimacy.

In the past three days, Zhou Kuan has only done one thing - to be fair.

Fairly distribute the wealth of Dong Cao's family to the villagers, and fairly try various cases in the Dong family manor.

Two seemingly simple things made the villagers of Dongjiazhuang go from being fearful and alienated at the beginning to being in awe now and even looking forward to Zhou Kuan staying longer.

If he were here, their lives would definitely be better.

It's a pity that Zhou Kuan is destined to leave, and they don't even dare to show their intention to stay.

Because they knew how powerful Dong Cao was, they were afraid of Dong Cao and Zhou Kuan's failure. When Dong Cao came back, they would be liquidated.

Now listening to Zhou Kuan's words, many villagers in Dongjiazhuang have mixed emotions, because they thought about Zhou Kuan's words carefully and felt that they made sense.

Before the rebellion, we were oppressed, and after the rebellion, we were still oppressed. It was just a different group of people who oppressed us. So what was the point of our rebellion?
Especially when you see so much wealth of the Dong family.

However, even though they figured it out, the elders of Dongjiazhuang did not dare to show too much because they were afraid of Dong Cao.

If you rebel, you may be beaten to death later, but if you don't rebel now, you may be beaten to death by Dong Cao immediately.

Everyone could only look at Zhou Kuan with reverence.

I hope Zhou Kuan will come back one day.

If the official who governs them is Zhou Kuan, then it would be best for them to let their children and grandchildren come back and farm the land honestly.

"Walk."

Ji Ren gave orders, whipped his horse, and took the lead in galloping out of Dongjiazhuang.

Many villagers in the Dongjiazhuang watched Ji Ren and his entourage leave the manor on horseback, with complex expressions on their faces. They never thought that one day, the Dongjiazhuang would be captured, and they never thought that the people who occupied the Dongjiazhuang would treat them better. Now that they have left, they will Reluctant to part with it.

Only a few people saw Ji Ren and others leaving, and they breathed a sigh of relief. There was a bit of evil in their eyes. They finally left, and the next thing was easier to deal with.

"If we really occupy Dongjiazhuang, letting Zhou Kuan manage it will surely convince them."

Riding on the horse, Ji Ren looked at Zhou Kuandao with a smile.

In just three days, the people's hearts have returned.

If this continues, Dongjiazhuang can even have the surname Zhou.

"I'm just a military commander. If you want to govern, let Ah Hao do it." Zhou Kuan said with a smile.

"Who said military generals can't govern? They can fight when mounted, and rule when dismounted. Wen can secure the country, and martial arts can rule the country. This is the most outstanding person in the world. Just like Zhuge Wuhou, he was obviously the prime minister, but he entered the martial arts temple. In the future How extraordinary is it that you entered the Wenwu Temple at the same time?" Ji Ren said.

"So this is more suitable for Ah Hao." Zhou Kuan refused the flattery and flattery of his boss Ji Ren without hesitation, "And the criterion for entering the Confucian Temple is not to see how many achievements you have made as an official or how many people you have helped to live and work in peace and contentment. It depends on whether I can write commentaries on Confucian classics, which I am not good at."

The Confucian Temple is a temple dedicated to Confucius. Most of the people accompanying the worship are disciples of Confucius, and the rest are great Confucian scholars who have written commentaries on Confucian classics in the past dynasties.

When it comes to entering the Martial Arts Temple, Zhou Kuan still has some ideas. As long as he can obtain military exploits and work hard, it is possible for him to work hard and get the same treatment as his ancestors. But when it comes to entering the Confucian Temple, it is really impossible. .

He neither knew how to write commentaries on Confucian classics nor wanted to.

"That's right. That's why I don't like the Confucian Temple that much. I cultivate myself, manage my family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. I don't worship those who truly serve the country and the people, but worship those who comment on Confucian classics." Ji Rendao.

"Just tell me what you said. If word spreads, it will cause trouble." Zhou Kuan said. The Confucian Temple is the place of faith for scholars all over the world.

"The scholar rebellion failed in three years. Why are they making trouble with me? Besides, don't forget, I am a serious Taoist priest. In Daqi, Taoism precedes Confucianism." Ji Ren said with a proud face.

It is worth mentioning that Daqi had an imperial examination system, but the content of Daqi's imperial examination was not only the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, but also the Taoist "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi".

Ji Ren was surprised at first. After all, it was unbelievable to rely on the "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi" to govern the country.

But then I thought about it, did those scholars in previous lives really rely on the Four Books and Five Classics to solve problems and govern the country?

And to be honest, the "inner sage and outer king" at the core of Confucianism was proposed by Zhuangzi.

Historically, Confucianism focused on integration.

Hearing this, Zhou Kuan burst out laughing. He had forgotten that Ji Ren was still a Taoist priest and that he was very senior.

If Confucian scholars really get into trouble because of this, they are causing trouble for themselves.

The two chatted and laughed, and then galloped away.

A hundred miles away in front of Ji Ren's army, in a hidden valley, thousands of soldiers and horses gathered together.

Several tall Xiliang men wearing black armor stood together with solemn expressions.

"Is the news true?" a man asked, still a little unsure.

"Yes, this is the news that the people inside risked their lives to spread. Uncle Qing Yong broke through the purple city, colluded with Nie Yuntian, and then deceived Dong Xuan and successfully entered the Dong family manor. Now he has captured Dong Xuan and Niu Zuo, Xu Hao and others, and today is the time for them to leave Dongjiazhuang." Another man said.

"So the evidence of our collusion with Dong Cao fell into his hands." Another man said.

"Naturally, so he must die. Otherwise, if he rushes back here and joins the King of Han, none of us here will survive." The second man who spoke said, his narrow eyes full of ruthlessness.

"But, he can break through Zicheng and capture Dong Xuan and the others alive, so his combat power must be pretty good. Can the rest of us work together to defeat him?" the man at the beginning asked hesitantly.

The idea is correct, but the question is can we win?

What if I can't win?
Aren't we sending someone's head thousands of miles away?

"Don't be afraid. I've asked before. He was able to break through Zicheng because Nie Yuntian betrayed him. But he was able to break through the Dong family manor because Dong Xuan was ignorant and let them in and then gave them the opportunity to drug him. But do it with us. , they have no chance to do anything. They can only fight head-on. Our family has a total of 6,000 men and horses, plus a few barbarians, there are 10,000. He only has a thousand men, how can he win us? No? Besides, if you don't fight them, do you want to face the three thousand white soldiers of the King of Han?" The second man who spoke loudly said.

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

They didn't have a deep impression of the King of Han. They only knew that he had condensed Liu Bei's dharma. At first, they thought that Liu Bei was defeated steadily by Lu Bu and Cao Cao in history, and later was burned down by Lu Xun. He must have no ability. After the King of Han arrived, he searched for people related to Dong Cao. The Zhao family in their neighboring county sensed the danger and took the lead. They gathered all the powerful families in the county and assembled an army of 15,000 men, led by two local princes. As a result, It was attacked from the front by the Baijie soldiers led by the King of Han.

Countless beheadings.

Even they were scared.

They seemed to realize at this time that Lu Bu was known as the Flying General, Cao Cao unified the north and commanded the princes under the control of the emperor, and Lu Xun directly entered the Martial Temple. Compared with these people, none of them was enough.

So when they found out that when the King of Han came, he wanted money for money and food for food, and they were extremely cooperative.

At the same time, they also contacted people from the Dong family, and found that the Dong family had been breached.

A group of people secretly screamed, but they did not dare to attack the Dong family manor.

After all, they knew how strong the manor was.

It was not easy, I took the risk and made a little contact with them, and then I came up with today's plan.

Ji Ren must be stopped here, otherwise, all of them will die.

The principals of the other families also stopped talking. After all, no matter how terrifying Ji Ren's army was, could it be more terrifying than the Bai Jie soldiers?
