94. The Incense Array that Rises to the Sky Penetrates the Capital, and I Will Take Your Head for Use (First Order Required)

"I... am willing to go to Luonan Road to preside over peace talks..."

Reluctantly, Taichang Qing Wang Wang thought he was unlucky and accepted the mission as an envoy.

He still had some thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and he also thought that he had squeezed into the group of Emperor Chongming's confidants, and Emperor Chongming would never sell him out, so he came up with a solution to the problem.

I never thought that Emperor Chongming would be so mean and ungrateful.

Once the secret of the peace negotiation was leaked and the whole world was in an uproar, Wang Wang... even ten heads would not be enough to behead him.

"Wang Aiqing..."

"After the peace negotiation is successful, I will be rewarded heavily."

Emperor Chongming also felt that he was a little ruthless and said some comforting words.

…

other side.

In just one month, Siming Mountain had captured the entire Luonan Road. Xu Xing also took advantage of the military boom and brought 100,000 soldiers and horses to Xuanji Temple, which is known as "spanning two prefectures and full of monk fields".

This martial arts school and thousand-year-old ancient temple is located on the top of Luojia Mountain.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can see a green mountain rising from the ground. The winding mountain road is dotted with solemn temples, hidden in the forest.

From time to time there are people climbing up the mountain.

When you look to the top of the mountain, you can see a huge Buddhist temple with cliffs piercing the sky and rows like a screen. It seems that someone deliberately flattened the entire Luojia Mountain with great power to build this Buddhist temple.

"Xuanji Temple and Xiaoyaomen are both known as the places where martial arts leaders in the world are known."

"When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."

Xu Xing dismounted and bowed to Master Kukai, the abbot of Xuanji Temple, who had come to ask for surrender, with an easy-going attitude.

After knowing the true background of Xuanji Temple, he will not be rude to Xuanji Temple easily.

"The Heavenly King... seems to have practiced my temple's martial arts?"

Master Kukai originally planned to deal with the mortal rebels at will, and just gave up some gold and silver to let the rebels retreat. However, what he didn't expect was that this Xingtian King actually exuded a peaceful aura of Buddhist inner strength.

It is vaguely related to the "Eight-Armed Mingwang Sutra" of the Zhenpai Kung Fu of Xuanji Temple!

Even the purity of the true essence is far superior to him.

"I will tell you nothing from Master Kukai..."

"The technique that I practice is exactly the "Eight-Armed King Sutra" of your temple."

"This technique was given to my eldest brother, King Mourning Heaven, by the former leader of the rebel army, Monk Shang..."

Xu Xing beat the snake and put it on the stick, and immediately explained the origin of his technique.

To compete for the world, the most critical step to step into the Immortal Sect is to obtain the support of Xuanji Temple. Among the outer sect forces of Feiyu Immortal Palace, Xuanji Temple is a quite powerful one.

It can help him block the pressure from Fengxi Kingdom Taizu.

"Now my cultivation level has reached the innate level."

"The reason why I came to your temple today is not for gold and silver, but for the follow-up exercises of the Eight-Armed King Sutra."

he added.

The purpose is to clarify his qualifications to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with Xuanji Temple.

"Shang Monk?"

"It should be the Three Rings, right?"

Master Kukai was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief.

With the strength of Xuanji Temple, it is really not difficult to catch a monk who rebels against the temple. However, after Monk Shang defected from the temple and became a rebel, Xuanji Temple did not want to attract too much attention from the world, so they suppressed the matter in the temple.

As for the leak of the skills...

What Xuanji Temple lacks is not the skills, but the people who practice the skills.

The innate realm is so difficult.

Even if the scriptures are lost outside the temple, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to successfully practice them. Even if you really succeed in practicing, you still have to go to Xuanji Temple to obtain subsequent exercises.

This is also a disguised form to increase the strength of Xuanji Temple.

Therefore, the matter of monk Shang rebelling against the temple and stealing the scriptures gradually fell into disuse.

"etc……"

"The King of Heaven just said that he had achieved a breakthrough in innateness?"

"The one who broke through with the Eight-Armed King Sutra?"

After two or three breaths, Master Kukai finally reacted.

The "Eight-Armed King Sutra" is a top-level exercise that can be practiced both internally and externally. This technique can break through the innate, but it is also more difficult than ordinary techniques...

The King Xingtian in front of him looked to be in his twenties, not even thirty.

Even if you practice this skill since childhood, you may not be able to break through to the innate level.

Seven years ago, Monk Shang rebelled against the temple and took away the Sutra of the Eight-Armed King. In other words, Xu Xing only has seven years at most to practice this skill.

How can one reach the innate realm in just seven years?

"Could it be..."

He felt faintly excited.

Got a guess.

"King of heaven, can you let me take a pulse?"

Master Kukai suppressed the unrest in his heart, clasped his hands together, and recited the Buddha's name.

As if he was afraid that Xu Xing would disagree, he added, "Xuanji Temple can give the follow-up exercises to the Heavenly King, but the Heavenly King is not from this temple, and I am afraid there will be many long-term injuries in the exercises. If he practices rashly..."

At this point, he stopped talking.

"King of Heaven..."

"Monk Kukai is not weak in cultivation. If we let him get close, something unexpected will happen."

Seeing this, Gong Yangyi stepped forward to admonish him.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Today's King Xingtian is already one of the heroes in the world, with a distinguished status that is comparable to that of an emperor. If Master Kukai, the host of Xuanji Temple, were to get close to him, he would inevitably do what Jing Ke did and assassinate Xu Xing.

Of course, this is extremely unlikely.

But as a minister, Gongyang Yi had the need to remind him.

"No problem."

"Master Kukai should not harm me."

"If things go wrong, my 100,000-strong army is here and will definitely wash away Xuanji Temple with blood."

Xu Xing waved his hand and motioned for the guards on the side to come closer with their shields.

If you want to show your own value in front of Xuanji Temple, it is only a bad idea to show off your qualifications. He also wanted Xuanji Temple to see how he handled things. Otherwise, an Adou who cannot be supported, no matter how good his qualifications are, will only sink in the sand and bring disaster upon himself in the long journey to immortality.

Qualification is a prerequisite for investment.

And the means of doing things... are the guarantee for investors to increase their investment.

"The King of Heaven is cautious..."

Seeing this scene, Master Kukai praised him.

Pretending to be brave is just a waste of one's life. Xu Xing's behavior does not seem to be a hero or a man, but rather stingy. But in fact, since ancient times, people who can achieve great things are just this kind of people.

"Have a courageous and diligent heart, and do small and cautious things..."

"Made the master laugh."

Xu Xing also explained himself.

Gou is the way to survive.

If you can learn from Han Xin and Liu Bang, don't learn from Bawang in name only.

It is indeed brave to fight with tens of thousands of Jiangdong's disciples against Han Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops. But on the battlefield, the better is to have more soldiers and more generals, and the more the better...

The armor was sparkling, and under the gaze of a hundred thousand rebels, Master Kukai walked slowly to Xu Xing's side and took a pulse. After waiting for a few breaths, he said, "Sure enough."

Then--

He took half a step back, bowed to Xu Xing and said:

"The King of Heaven is the King of Ming who came to this world..."

"Lao Na is sincerely convinced. Not only is he willing to offer the follow-up exercises of the Eight-Armed King Sutra, but he is also willing to send another eight hundred monks down the mountain to follow the dragon to help the king of heaven conquer the country."

Kukai made the same decision as in Destiny.

Support Xu Xing to fight for the dragon!

"If this king takes over the world..."

"Xuanji Temple can be a national temple."

Xu Xing wrote a blank check.

Anyway, the status of Xuanji Temple is now no less than that of the royal family. Whether it is a national temple or not, it is just the icing on the cake for Xuanji Temple.

What he said was just to draw in the relationship between Xuanji Temple and him.

"I thank the King of Heaven for his kindness."

Monk Kukai expressed his gratitude.

…

Return to the handsome tent.

Xu Xing inspected the 800 monks donated by Xuanji Temple and saw an old monk in gray robe inside. He immediately put aside his worries and began to discuss the next offensive with the officials.

"Ming Gong..."

"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower."

Gong Yangyi shook his feather fan and started plotting.

"The best strategy is to go down the Cao River, occupy Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road, and cut off the imperial court's tax land. There are many nobles and ministers in Shenjing, and there are millions of people. If the water supply is cut off, there will be a food shortage..."

"When the time comes, Shenjing will be destroyed without an attack."

"The central strategy is to attack the Yanshan Road in the north, cut off the connection between the Zhenbei King and the imperial court, and then unite with the Tatars outside the pass to attack the 100,000 cavalry of the Zhenbei King..."

In one breath, he stated the top and middle strategies.

Among the two strategies, the best one seems prudent, but it is also a dangerous move.

Nowadays, the cavalry outside the pass are restrained by the Tatars in the north, so they are unable to divide their troops and go south to resist the Siming Mountain rebels. But if time goes by and the Tatar army retreats, the king of Zhenbei will definitely go south to the king of Qin. If the Siming Mountains at that time had not captured the two roads south of the Yangtze River... Although they would not be in deep trouble, the momentum of the eastward march would be cut off. It is difficult to advance eastward.

The next central strategy is to occupy the Yanshan Road and join forces with the Tatars to kill the Zhenbei King's cavalry outside the Pass... is the safest. Although the King of Zhenbei has a strong army, he can only rely on the border and it is difficult to support his army. Cutting off the connection between Zhenbei King Li Liang and the court means cutting off Zhenbei King's food and grass...

Once one hundred thousand cavalry are killed, the whole world will be at the mercy of the Siming Mountain rebels.

"The best strategy, the middle strategy..."

Xu Xing frowned and shook his head.

It is true that Gong Yangyi's best and middle strategies are both good.

But for him, the best strategy is too slow, and the middle strategy is too dangerous.

Shangce takes the road of slowly encroaching on the world.

As for Zhongce..., it seemed safe, but the rabbit was forced to bite people. A hundred thousand cavalrymen outside the pass are not a good person. Although these people have a blood feud with the Tatars, they might join forces with the Tatars for the sake of their own lives.

"Ming Gong, do you have any clever tips?"

Gong Yangyi didn't dare to show his shame in front of Xu Xing, so he asked cautiously.

When it comes to the general strategy of the world, he is not as good as Xu Xing.

Monk Shang, who was acting as the mascot in the handsome tent, saw this scene and his face suddenly turned red.

He was familiar with the first half of the act. The upper, middle and lower strategies were rejected one by one. But in the second half of the scene, his former mastermind Gong Yangyi did not play his cards according to the usual rules...

"Although the policy is good, once we fail to capture Jiangnan, we will become a piece of fish on the chopping block of the imperial court."

Xu Xing pointed out the shortcomings of the best policy.

While guarding the city on the Guanxi Road, the Siming Mountain rebels were not afraid of the cavalry outside the Guan.

However, when we arrived at the great plain of Luonan Road...

This is the home field advantage of the Guanwai Cavaliers.

Gong Yangyi and the officials nodded, agreeing with Xu Xing's view.

Although the capture of Luonan Road in Siming Mountain went smoothly, it did not mean that the capture of the two roads south of the Yangtze River was as smooth.

"As for the central strategy..."

Xu Xing sighed, "The iron cavalry outside the pass have made great achievements in resisting the Tatars, which will benefit all the people. We and other rebels will punish the people and relieve the people. Although the tactics can be insidious, they can't be forced to a dead end..."

After clarifying the justice of the rebel army's crusade against the imperial court.

He changed his tone and pointed out the shortcomings of the middle strategy, "Although Mr. Gongyang's plan is feasible, we must be careful to prevent the King of Zhenbei from joining forces with the Tatars and going south together. By then, China will definitely be devastated..."

"Yi may become a sinner for the ages..."

Gong Yangyi bowed down in a formal manner, and was convinced of Xu Xing's admiration.

The biggest difference between King Xingtian and the Eight-armed Dharma King is that Xu Xing can see the flaws in each of his strategies, and then judge the situation and make a judgment, instead of being indecisive and unwilling to adopt them.

Therefore, after Shang Heshang rejected his three strategies, he thought that the counselors should first plan for themselves, and abandoned Shang Heshang as his master.

But when it comes to Xu Xing, he will only serve diligently.

He dare not have the slightest rebellious heart.

"I have made up my mind..."

Seeing that after rejecting Gong Yangyi's two strategies, the soldiers returned to their hearts and had the courage, Xu Xing said: "Go straight to Shenjing from Luonan Road and cut off the orthodoxy of the court. As long as Shenjing is taken, the emperor will die, and the King of Zhenbei will definitely offer a letter of surrender to seek the old status quo. After that, we will slowly nibble away at the rest of the roads..."

If he does not break the dragon vein of Song Dao, he will die sooner or later.

Rather than waiting for death, it is better to take a risk!

Besides, he did not act without a plan.

As long as Shenjing was taken, the court would be lost. Whether he or the King of Zhenbei, they were all members of the local forces and could go to fight for the world, but he was more confident...

In addition, before the world was conquered, as long as Siming Mountain continued to supply the King of Zhenbei with food and grass, the King of Zhenbei would not easily rebel, so as to avoid being attacked from both sides.

"Ming Gong's good plan, we will obey your order."

Gong Yangyi bowed deeply.

The other generals in the general's tent also received orders one by one.

However -

At this time, a guard outside the door came to report, "Heavenly King, Taichang Qing Wang Wang came to ask for peace."

The generals in the camp looked at each other in surprise.

They had just decided on the strategy to attack Shenjing, and Emperor Chongming came to ask for peace?

"Heaven's will is in the fourth, not in the first."

"This is the will of heaven helping me..."

Xu Xing was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Chang Ji, Gong Yangyi and other civil and military officials were stunned when they saw this, and they did not understand Xu Xing's intention. However, they did not want to spoil the interest of King Xing Tian. So they laughed together, and the laughter permeated the entire tent.

After a while.

Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, stepped into the tent of the rebel army cautiously.

"Xu Shijun..."

"You are blessed by the emperor, why do you bully the people and do thieves?"

"If you don't withdraw your troops, the emperor will be furious and will exterminate your three clans!"

Seeing that the legendary King Xing Tian had the temperament of a scholar, he was not as vicious as the rumors said, with a green face and fangs. Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, also raised a little courage, straightened his chest, and asked Xu Xing loudly.

He couldn't just come in and beg for mercy and beg for peace with Siming Mountain.

In this case, even if he succeeded by chance and returned to the court, he would still be dead.

"Lord Wang..."

"You are a good minister, but why did you follow a mediocre master."

Xu Xing ignored Wang Wang's questioning, but changed the topic and belittled Emperor Chongming.

"This..."

Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, was speechless.

He also believed that Emperor Chongming was a tyrant and a mediocre ruler, otherwise how could he send him, a strategist, to beg for peace.

But although he agreed with this in his heart, he did not dare to echo Xu Xing's words.

"Lend me your head."

"Give me a helping hand."

Xu Xing smiled.

As soon as he said this.

Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, was frightened and stepped back several steps, "Envoy Xu, no no no..., King Xingtian, since ancient times, when two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys. I am an angel, an imperial envoy, you cannot kill me."

He was frightened by Xu Xing's words.

The mission turned into a feast at Hongmen.

"It's not that I will kill you."

"It's that Chongming will kill you..."

"Sir Wang, have a safe journey."

Xu Xing did not explain, and asked his personal guards to take Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, away and drive him out of the general's tent.

After Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, left, he looked at Gui Yishou, "Spreading rumors, Emperor Chongming disregarded the country and wanted to make peace with Xu Ni, Wang Wang, the Minister of Rites, is the evidence."

Gui Yishou is one of the Five Tiger Envoys of the Five Tiger Hall, responsible for intelligence from the court and the public.

"Yes, I obey your order."

Gui Yishou took the order and walked out of the general's tent.

"I congratulate you, sir..."

"With Wang Wang's head, it won't be difficult to get to the capital!"

Gong Yangyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he understood why Xu Xing laughed just now, so he bowed and congratulated him.
