I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 632: Giant Spirit General! Please stop the war? Want to kill the dragon!

At the foot of the gate of Xiangji Temple, corpses were scattered all over the ground and blood flowed like a river.

But inside this mountain gate, there is a lingering sense of Zen and great tranquility.

As Han Shao waved his hand in invitation, a slightly mocking sigh came from the void.

"Mr. Yan, you are so domineering."

Xiangji Temple is considered an authentic Zen temple, but its gate was occupied just because of a disagreement.

The owner of this place was forced to stay in the inner courtyard in a cowardly manner, allowing the other party to taint this Zen tranquility with the evil spirit of the battlefield.

If this isn't overbearing, what is?

As for such direct criticism, Han Shao was thick-skinned and just said.

"Great and virtuous teacher, you are too kind."

"I don't know what tyranny is. I only know that the whole world belongs to the king. I am the Duke of Yan of Yong, and I am appointed by the emperor to command all military forces at home and abroad."

"Now that we have come here to fight the enemy, this Xiangji Temple is also the land of Dayong. I will requisition it temporarily. Who dares not to obey?"

Fighting thieves?

Taoist veteran Zhang Xian slowly gathered in front of Han Shao's seat, the mocking look on his face still undiminished.

"Since Lord Yan has come to attack the Taoist priest, why do you treat me as a guest?"

Han Shao was surprised.

"The Great Sage Master is a thief?"

Zhang Xian frowned in confusion.

"Does Lord Yan think that the old Taoist is not a thief?"

Han Shao seemed to ponder for a moment after hearing this, and then he sighed.

"Yes, you are not only a thief, but also the leader of the thieves."

As he spoke, Han Shao slowly raised his head and looked at him, then said.

"You are a beautiful woman, why do you become a thief?"

You are a beautiful lady, and I am not joking.

Faced with the question raised by Han Shao, Zhang Xian was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at Han Shao with some surprise.

He could feel that Han Shao seemed to have some good intentions towards him.

But he didn't know where this kindness came from.

After a long silence, Zhang Xian's eyes gradually brightened.

"Could it be that Lord Yan... is also indignant at the chaos of this world and sympathetic to the hardships faced by the common people?"

Looking at the hope bursting out of the old Taoist's eyes in front of him, Han Shao lowered his eyes and did not respond.

She just lifted her wide sleeves and raised her hand to invite tea.

"It's cold, the tea is getting cold, great and wise teacher, drink it."

After hearing this, Zhang Xian stared at Han Shao for a while, then finally picked up the teacup.

After drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, he commented.

"It doesn't taste good. It's not as sweet as the spring water that the old Taoist often uses."

Han Shao smiled.

"Since the great and virtuous teacher has the sweetness of a clear spring, why should he be banished to this turbid world and endure the suffering of this human world?"

Tea is bitter, and life is even more bitter.

Han Shao couldn't taste the bitterness of tea, but was struggling in this sea of ​​suffering. He really didn't know what to say.

Hearing this, Zhang Xian paused as he put down the teacup.

When the sound of the bottom of the cup hitting the table was heard, Zhang Xian looked up at Han Shao and frowned.

"Mr. Yan, are you trying to persuade me to let go?"

Han Shao poured him some tea and said softly.

"I believe that the Great Sage Master has compassion for the people, so I hope that the Great Sage Master will spare their lives for the sake of the people."

"A way out?"

Zhang Xian seemed to find it somewhat funny. After a few laughs came out of his nose, his eyes kept on Han Shao with amusement.

"Mr. Yan, if I let go now, will they still have a chance to survive?"

At this point, the amusement in his eyes turned into mockery and ridicule.

"No, they won't survive."

"Those meat eaters won't let them live, and Old Taikang won't let them live either..."

The cause of the Huang Tian Rebellion and the initial conspiracy for peace are no longer important now.

What’s more important is that it allows those noble families who once lived in high positions to see that the ants and grass in their eyes actually dared to stand up and resist, and even had the courage to draw knives at them!

This alone was enough to make them furious and filled with murderous intent.

Once Zhang Xian and Huang Tiandao are gone, is there any need to tell them what they should do next and how they should do it?

As for Emperor Taikang, whether it was out of the instinct of an emperor or out of personal resentment that Huang Tiandao had ruined his Dayong foundation and fortune.

He will kill just as hard!
"So... I can't retreat."

"This retreat will mean a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, a catastrophe for all mankind, and a reversal of heaven and earth!"

Zhang Xian divided a sentence into three parts.

From playfulness to ridicule, and finally to the unyielding and courageous move forward.

If the two of them had not been sitting opposite each other, Han Shao would have been unable to help but applaud and marvel at him.

It’s a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world. The reality is that he directly poured a bucket of cold water on this great and virtuous teacher.

"You can't succeed as long as I'm here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally warm atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Seeing that Zhang Xian was about to refute, Han Shao did not say anything, but instead used his eyes to guide him to look at the battlefield below.

The Shenji Camp, which continued to pour out death, advanced steadily.

The Zhenliao heavy armor transformed into a humanoid weapon was like a terrifying flesh-and-blood grinding wheel, completely crushing all existences that stood in their way.

There is also the Liaodong Cavalry, which is the real foundation of the Zhenliao Army.

As they rode their horses and wielded their swords, the originally continuous ochre-yellow ocean had been cut into pieces by them, and it seemed that it was only one step away from complete collapse.

In addition, there is Huang Tianlishi, who is regarded as the biggest trump card.

When the commanders of Yan and Yu states sent them out in an attempt to completely reverse the situation, a series of equally towering figures rose from the Zhen Liao army.

The huge figure at the head had a ferocious face, and the huge chains wrapped around his body made his look even more terrifying.

boom--

When the two sides collided with a loud bang, the earth shook violently. As the terrifying power was released, visible aftermath caused ripples on the earth.

At this moment, the weak soldiers on both sides could barely stand and could only look up in horror at the horrifying scene in the distance that looked like a battle between ancient gods.

Especially when they saw the giant spirit general leading the Zhen Liao army, he roared, and the chains wrapped around his body instantly strangled the Huang Tianlishi beside him like a spirit python.

puff--

An iron chain flew across the sky and pierced through the chest of a Huang Tianlishi, bringing out blood that poured down like a torrential rain.

After that, its momentum did not stop. After killing several Huang Tianlishi in a row, it went around the neck of another Huang Tianlishi. In just a moment, a huge head broke off from his neck.

Evil spirit!

The evil gods in ancient times were no more than this!

Witnessing with their own eyes the terrifying fighting power unleashed by the giant spirit general of the Zhen Liao army, everyone was shocked.

No one expected that the Zhen Liao army actually had such a giant spirit army that could rival... no! To be more precise, it was far superior to Huang Tianlishi!
Not to mention the Huang Tian Army on the opposite side, even most of the Zhen Liao soldiers had never heard of it.

"Master, what do you think of these Taoist soldiers of mine?"

Looking at those terrifying giants who were slaughtering his own Huang Tianli warriors like killing chickens and sheep, Zhang Xian sighed in a half-dazed manner.

"It already has some resemblance to the ancient heavenly soldiers..."

Especially the huge figure in the lead, if it weren't for some obvious defects in intelligence, just looking at the terrifying combat power he unleashed, what's the difference between him and the giant spirit general in ancient legends?
When Zhang Xian said this, he kept his eyes on Han Jiu.

Han Shao couldn't help but sigh.

Come to think of it, who would have thought that such a terrifying existence was created by a small sect that had long since declined?

You have to know that the Beigu Sect that was razed to the ground by Han Shao in a battle did not even have a seventh-level True Immortal.

"His name is Han Jiu."

After listening to Han Shao's brief introduction, Zhang Xian slowly withdrew his gaze.

The look he gave Han Shao was somewhat complicated.

With his eyesight, he could see that these giant Taoist soldiers of the Zhen Liao Army clearly had the shadow of his Huang Tian secret method. When he thought about the so-called Taiping Dao that his rebels had recently created, its origin was obvious.

But this is not important.

What’s important is that the secret techniques of these giant Taoist soldiers have obviously undergone a lot of deductions and are new methods that have been innovated.

The time, energy, manpower and material resources invested in this are undoubtedly enormous.

And this is the biggest difference between the young Duke of Yan and all the forces in the world, including himself, the great and virtuous teacher.

This person seems to be particularly keen on these "strange and clever tricks".

Yes!

Secret methods and secret arts are actually a kind of advanced technology.

This is essentially the same as the Shenjiying's magic guns and mountain-shaking cannons.

They are all manifestations of "A gentleman is not born different, but is good at making use of things."

Combined with the changes in Youzhou and even the Youbei grassland under his rule, Zhang Xian suddenly had a rather absurd idea.

"Could it be that destiny has sent this person down?"

To put it another way, 'Could this person be the real man of destiny?'

Just when Zhang Xian was feeling confused and doubtful, Han Shao looked at him and suddenly changed the subject, saying calmly.

"I can keep them alive."

"As long as they are here, no one will treat them like pigs and dogs and slaughter or trample them at will."

As he spoke, he lifted the sleeve of his imperial robe with patterns of mountains and rivers on it and pointed at the fierce and fierce soldiers below.

"Great and Good Teacher, do you think so?"

The reason why I went around in circles was before responding to what Zhang Xian had just said.

Because Han Shao knew very well that mere nonsense was meaningless.

Only absolute strength is the cornerstone, and only then can you have absolute confidence that cannot be refuted.

Just like Zhang Xian at this moment, if there was no evidence of the battle situation below, if there were no terrifying giant Taoist soldiers sweeping away all enemies, he would have sneered at Han Shao's words and laughed at his shamelessness.

But now he could only open his mouth a few times and close it a few times.

And after a long time, it turned into a sigh.

"Even if Lord Yan can let them survive, what can we do about it?"

"Let them continue to live in the world in a muddleheaded way like in the past? Instead of that, it is better to let the old Taoist lead them to achieve the ultimate sublimation with great fanfare."

Since the human race gained dominance in this world amidst the struggle among all other races, the grains on the earth have ripened thousands and tens of thousands of times.

Heroes, great men, kings, generals, and born nobles, you finish your song and it’s time for me to take the stage.

But this has always been their game.

Just this time, just this time!
This game finally has more figures who are regarded as ants and grass by those in the clouds.

These ants and grasshoppers used the knives in their hands, their flesh and blood, and their humble lives to make their voices heard for the first time!
If this ends in a whimper, and everything goes back to square one, then what is the point of all they have done and sacrificed? What is the meaning?
indeed!

He Zhang Xian is selfish, and very selfish.

Some even went so far as to use this as an excuse to ascend to the heavens and conquer the three realms in one fell swoop!
But the words 'I wish everyone in the world could be like a dragon' also really come from the heart.

Otherwise, the great aspiration he had when he first attained enlightenment would not have been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and he would not have been able to successfully seek the Dao of Taiyi.

So his reluctance and unwillingness at this moment are real!
Looking up at the undisguised paranoia in the old Taoist's eyes, Han Shao sighed inwardly.

Since ancient times, all those who have accomplished great things have been such people, possessing such an almost crazy temperament.

Shi Bi was one of them who died at his hands.

Yuan Feng is one of them, who lived in poverty for half his life, but failed miserably when he rose up one day.

The old Taoist Zhang Xian in front of him is also one of them.

With his own strength, he stirred up this movement that swept across most of the world, completely tearing apart the superficial splendor that Emperor Taikang barely maintained, and trampling underfoot the majesty of the Great Yong that had lasted for more than two thousand years.

If you are not crazy, who would have the courage to do this?
"Great and wise teacher, not everyone wants to be Jackie Chan..."

Hearing Han Shao's words, Zhang Xian's stubborn expression froze for a moment.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Yan?"

Han Shao replied with a sigh.

"Lofty ambitions are indeed valuable."

"But most people in this world are just sparrows. They just want to be content with the status quo, with their parents, wives and children by their side and a stutter, and they are content."

"Even though they will be bullied and exploited by meat eaters, they can still survive, and they just want to live."

It’s a bit helpless to say.

In fact, whenever there is an uprising in troubled times, it is usually a small number of people who can no longer bear it and drag the majority of people to death together.

When the old corrupt order was broken and the new order had not yet been truly established, the bloodiness and cruelty of this entire stage even far exceeded that of the old order.

That's why some people say, "A bad rule is always better than a chaos with no rules at all."

Han Shao is a follower of this philosophy.

Although he has always given people the impression that he is cruel.

But in fact, at least when there is still a choice, he prefers a relatively moderate reform.

Although in this change there will also be bloodshed, deaths, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

What he needs to do is to confine this sea of ​​blood and corpses to a certain circle so as not to affect the vast majority of innocent people.

So when Zhang Xian responded to his words, he angrily refuted them.

"Should we let them sink into despair for generations? Not knowing life or death, living like animals for generations? Is this the way of heaven? Is this the way of humanity? Is this the law of nature and humanity?"

Han Shao responded calmly.

“Let those who aspire to become dragons have the opportunity to become dragons.”

“Let those who desire peace live out their lives in peace.”

"This is the way of heaven that I believe in, this is the way of humanity that I want to practice, and this is the natural law and human nature that I understand!"

These words were undoubtedly eye-opening, but after hearing Han Shao's words, Zhang Xian's expression froze, and then he lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally raised his head slowly and looked at Han Shao seriously, as if he wanted to see through him.

"You can't do it with them around."

This "they" is self-evident, and naturally refers to the noble families who have been noble for generations.

Han Shao smiled faintly and shook his head.

“They are not irreplaceable.”

'Class' comes from human nature.

This thing can't even be eradicated by the version iteration speed next door.

Therefore, Han Shao never had the naive idea of ​​bringing peace to the world.

All he wants is relative fairness.

Instead of being like it is now, where the noble families are in a high position and completely lock down everything, turning the entire world into a pool of rotten, smelly stagnant water.

This is also one of the reasons why a number of Youzhou noble families such as the Chen family of Zhuo County were able to survive under his "small-mindedness".

Of course, in the future, in order to adapt to the new rules and new gameplay that Han Shao is about to formulate, there will also be a set of small combos waiting for them.

……

Zhang Xian left.

From the beginning to the end, there was no confrontation between him and Han Shao, only a clash and confrontation of ideas.

However, the final result was no different from the brutal battle at the gate of Xiangji Temple.

He was completely defeated.

So before leaving, Zhang Xian, who seemed to have aged suddenly, hunched his body slightly, and said helplessly, half begging.

"Lord Yan, let us stop fighting for now."

"As for the aftermath, I will think about it for a few days and then talk to Lord Yan."

After saying this, as if afraid that Han Shao would think he was delaying the situation, he smiled again.

"I have devoted my whole life to Taoism. It is hard to deceive the heaven or people, but it is difficult to deceive a heart of Taoism. Lord Yan, please do not worry too much."

Seeing the Taoist's clear eyes, Han Shao, who rarely trusted others, actually chose to believe the Taoist this time.

But he didn't expect that after some time, the secret letter handed over by Huang Tiandao made him change color suddenly.

The secret letter did not contain much, just a few words.

[The day before yesterday, I was treated with great courtesy by Lord Yan and discussed Taoism, from which I gained a lot. Now, my Dragon-Slaying Sword is completed, and I will wait for this old Taoist to return a generous gift to Lord Yan]!
