The Bad Guys: I Paint Jianghu in Troubled Times

Chapter 31: True and False

Chapter 132 If I die, please go and see the world of peace for me! On the streets of Zhenzhou, two soldiers wearing Silver Spear Army uniforms were staggering on the street holding wine jugs. Passers-by all stepped back to avoid them. In Zhenzhou, these soldiers had reached the point of lawlessness. With the approval of Yang Shihou and the fact that the people of Zhenzhou were originally tough, although the former Wei Bo soldiers were once wiped out, the current Silver Spear Army was not much worse than them."Hey, general, general, please take a look at the wine money for this month..." A man selling wine caught up with the two soldiers and asked cautiously. It's not that he had no way, he didn't want to ask, but these two men had been drinking in his tavern for three months. Not only that, they also had been on credit for three months. These days, food is precious and the cost of brewing is also high. He is also a small business and can't afford the money spent by these two men. "Get out! Open your eyes and see who your uncle is!" The soldier kicked the tavern owner and he flew backwards. At this time, the sound of galloping horses was heard. The soldier let the tavern owner go and looked in the direction of the horse hoof sound. He saw a captain of the Silver Spear Army riding a horse and shouting: "The major general has ordered that all Silver Spear soldiers return to the camp immediately!" The two soldiers' faces changed, and after looking at each other, they immediately ran towards the camp. This shows how high the status of the Yang family is in the hearts of the Silver Spear Army. After Yang Shihou captured Weizhou, he allowed these soldiers to plunder everywhere in order to make them more loyal to the Yang family. This was a distorted and deformed era. Without the restrictions of laws, these military governors had to find all kinds of ways to coax their soldiers. Promising to plunder for three days after capturing a city or promising a certain amount of reward after a battle were all common tactics used by these military governors. Therefore, this era was also the period when massacres and looting broke out most frequently. In other words, the long-term chaos made everyone from soldiers to military governors believe that it was right to do so, and no one would be loyal to them if they did not do so. This vicious cycle also led to the decades from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, which were darker and more chaotic than all previous periods of dynasty change. Why did the Song Dynasty suppress generals and be wary of military men? It was because Emperor Taizu of Song witnessed and experienced this extremely turbulent era with his own eyes. The common people on both sides of the road numbly avoided the knights running wildly on the street, as if they were already used to this scene. Perhaps some people were resentful, but no one dared to show any dissatisfaction in front of the Silver Spear Army. At this time, the soldiers would not only kill people... …… Luoyang's imperial edict and Li Zhen's secret letter were then delivered to every Jiedushi. Xingzhou Jiedushi, Yan Bao! Qizhou Jiedushi, Hua Wenqi! Xiangzhou Jiedushi, Dai Siyuan! Weizhou Jiedushi, Yang Shihou! Zhengzhou Jiedushi, Luo Zhouhan! Pinglu Jiedushi, Hou Qinglai! Yanzhou Jiedushi, Liu Renyu! Kuangguojun Jiedushi, Han Jian! Li Zhen's idea is very simple. Don't you, Zhang Quanyi, want to shuffle the cards? Okay, then let's play a big game and push all the chess pieces out to the surface to see whether you, Zhang Quanyi, have the ability or I, Li Zhen, have the means!

Jingxiang's residence in Luoyang. "So you contacted all the Jiedushi to cooperate with Yang Shihou to force the emperor to abdicate in Luoyang?" Jing Xiang looked at Li Zhen helplessly and said, "You don't think that you and I can control those Jiedushi, do you? What you are doing is nothing more than a delaying tactic, like driving a tiger to devour a wolf." Li Zhen shook his head and chuckled, "The world is nothing but chaos. I never thought I could achieve a big career. What I have to do is to ensure my own status. I don't want to go back to the beginning. Think about that person who was looked down upon and ignored by others. It's worth it for me to have climbed to my current position in this life!" Jing Xiang frowned and retorted: "You and I are not like those military governors. Since we have the ability to do it, we should do our best to stabilize the world. If you do this, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending in the end." Li Zhen said calmly, "A good end? I just want to stir up trouble in the world while I still have power and status. Everyone will die one day. Besides, when I die, won't you be there to see me off?" Jing Xiang smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Come on, maybe I won't live longer than you." Li Zhen looked at Jing Xiang's expression and knew that his old friend was unwilling to cooperate with him, so he stood up and said, "If I can't see the day when the world is united, then you go and choose someone, choose someone who can unify the world, to go and see it for me, to see the prosperous era when the world is united and the people live in peace and happiness!" After Li Zhen finished speaking, he didn't wait for Jing Xiang's answer. He stood up and left Jing's house. Jing Xiang looked at Li Zhen's back with a complicated expression. Will there really be a day when the world is united? At this moment, a figure fell into Jingxiang's mind like thunder. It was the figure in front of Chaoyuan Hall that day who shattered Jingxiang's Taoist heart with one knife, Li Xingyun! But then he thought of the storm in Luoyang some time ago, and sighed dejectedly, "Li Xingyun... forget it, he has fallen into the hands of Zhong Kui of Xuanming Sect, I am afraid he can't die even if he wants to..." …… "Uh-huh... Your Highness!" Snapped! Zhong Xiaokui's pretty face flushed, and she looked at the man wearing the Sky Dark Star armor behind her with deep affection, "Okay, Xiaokui, let's stop here today. I have to go to training." Li Xingyun put away his palm and gently touched Zhong Xiaokui's head. Zhong Xiaokui nodded sensibly and said, "Okay, Your Highness." Zhong Xiaokui looked at Li Xingyun's back and secretly raised the corners of her mouth. In fact, after sleeping with His Highness, she no longer had the same strong desire for this little habit as before, but she just wanted His Highness to try more new things. She wanted His Highness to accommodate her. She wanted to act coquettishly in front of His Highness. Sure enough, His Highness did not refuse... Thinking of this, the smile on Zhong Xiaokui's mouth became brighter and brighter, "Hehe, His Highness really likes Xiaokui the most..." …… Wow. Li Xingyun lifted the curtain of the big tent and quickly came to the open space in the camp. The soldiers who were resting at this time were squatting on the ground practicing their names. This was also Li Xingyun's most basic requirement for them. They could not write other things, but they must learn their own names. In Li Xingyun's words, even if you die one day, others will at least know your names, so I can erect a monument for you. Li Xingyun's words sounded cruel, but for these ordinary soldiers, it was such a luxury to leave their names on the monument. Many people didn't have names, so Li Xingyun gave them names one by one. The names were also very simple, just their surnames plus some simple nouns, so Zhao Shan, Li He, Wang Er, Chen Shu... These simple names came together to form the prototype of the Sky Dark Army... Li Xingyun stood beside Jiang Chen and looked at the soldiers squatting on the ground writing and drawing. He said to himself: "I have seen the new version of Pojun Jue. You are really a genius. You actually mixed in the elements of Tiangang Jue. Do you want me to be the core of the final military formation?"

Jiang Chen fiddled with his hair and showed a very pleased expression when listening to Li Xingyun's praise. "Of course, if you are not the core, then who is the core? Don't you want an army that is always under your control?" (End of this chapter)
