Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Achievements
The thief army is in chaos...
This kind of chaos may not be the lethality of these things in front of you. This is human instinct, fear of the unknown.︽,
It is conceivable how frightened the ancestors of human beings would be when they saw the thunder rolling in the sky, lightning hitting the forest and igniting the flames produced by the trees.
And now... it is the same. When thunders explode and smoke fills the air, even if these things have limited damage, it is enough to cause panic among the vast majority of people.
Panic spread, followed by running away with his head in his arms, and then trampling on each other.
By the riverside, countless people were rushing to grab the ferry, but more people fell into the water, and the river was rolling, countless waves rolling, sweeping an individual eastward.
The hay was burning, the sand and gravel were burned black, and flames were everywhere. The flames rushed up, accompanied by the rolling smoke, and rushed straight into the sky.
The wailing sounds are endless.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shaoyou and Li Lingyue stood up side by side.
I saw the firelight in the distance and the various supplies that blew up the sky with the sound of thunder. In this morning, it was like thousands of fireworks setting off, which was very beautiful.
Li Lingyue was so scared that she covered her ears and unconsciously hid towards Qin Shaoyou like a kitten. But when she saw Qin Shaoyou's confident look, she gradually calmed down. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the moment of brilliance in the air from afar.
“So beautiful.”
Qin Shaoyou's heart was bleeding, of course it was very beautiful, and the saltpeter in the village was buried inside.
In order to defeat the enemy, he ordered people to go to the farm overnight to pick up a cart of saltpeter, mixed with charcoal and fine cotton cloth, and buried it under the sand and stone. The saltpeter was originally extremely stable, but it was mixed with something. If it encountered an open fire, the power it emitted was not light. The original ice-making thing was made into fireworks in the end.
In fact, these are really just big firecrackers, and their power is really limited. Although they can blow people up, it is not easy to kill people.
But this was during the Wuzhou Dynasty. In this era, firecrackers had not appeared. Everyone had no ability to resist any open fire or explosion. When countless "firecrackers" under the ground exploded, the thieves were in chaos. In addition, such supplies were piled up on the river bank, and the fire was burning, so there was no need for these "firecrackers" to kill people. The raging fire and the thick smoke rising from the sky were enough to be fatal.
What is even more terrifying is people. These smoked soldiers cannot see things, and in extreme fear, they can't help but rush to cross the river and flee back to the north bank. However, in desperation, they trampled on each other, and even in fear and anxiety, even if they draw their swords at each other, they will do whatever they want, as for the drowning people, there are countless people.
"Your Highness, is it good-looking?"
"nice."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "Then, today the officials will use these fireworks to celebrate Your Highness's birthday. But now... the officials are still in charge of military affairs. Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Li Lingyue is very obedient today. She looked at Qin Shaoyou deeply, held Qin Shaoyou's horse and said, "Be careful."
Qin Shaoyou had already turned over and beaten away.
With dozens of infantrymen, Qin Shaoyou, Fang Jing and others gathered together. The thief army was in chaos. If they did not attack at this time, when would they wait?
At this time, the camp was already full of energy. Seeing Qin Shaoyou leading the team, they drew their swords one after another. Qin Shaoyou shouted: "Did you see it? Just ahead, there were a group of mobs, who had been scared by the tricks of the lieutenant's corpse. What are you seeing? They saw a thief army? No, let me tell you that this is not a thief army, this is food, this is a notice, it is gold, and it is a daughter-in-law. Following this lieutenant, those who have no money can have money, those who have no food can pile up rice in the jar of tiles, and those who have no wife will have a wife. If you make achievements, most of you damn Qiu Ba, most of you don't understand. This lieutenant will tell you, come with me, grab money, grab food, and grab women!"
"kill!"
There is no more exciting thing in this world than such a declaration of the battle.
Don’t understand what you have done.
But everyone only knows that killing a thief will bring money and a wife. This alone... is enough.
With a whistle, countless people responded, long swords raised, and war horses galloped.
Hysterical voices echoed: "Break the thief!"
On Mengjintan, a killing has begun.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Mengjin is not far from Luoyang, and the thunderous sound naturally spread into Luoyang. Many people saw that "lightning" in Mengxi's mid-air lightning was shining suddenly.
The imperial guards in the capital were panicked and took it even more solemnly.
After a moment, a message began to spread.
The bandit army was defeated, Meng Xi united the camp to defeat the bandits, and tens of thousands of bandit troops were destroyed, with countless casualties.
absurd!
Cui Feng was very concerned about this battle situation. As the head of the Cui family and the prime minister of the dynasty, he knew better than anyone else that this rebellion could change the fate of the Cui family anytime and anywhere.
So... he must get the most accurate news at any time. Once the strength of both sides loses balance, then... it is time for the Cui family to make a choice.
Many times, this is the reality.
This news was first said to have been brought back by the scouts of the Jinwu Guard, and then spread in the east gate, and then spread throughout the city.
When Cui Yue heard this news, he thought it was ridiculous.
His answer is just two words, absurd, more than just absurd, it is simply ridiculous.
It’s not that he has any prejudice against Qin Shaoyou, but he has lived a lot of age. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is not wrong to use the stars to make the sky, but the gap between the enemy and us is so great that he still says that tens of thousands of thieves have been destroyed. Isn’t this absurd or what?
Cui Feng sat down, and in the thatched cottage, he wore the Taoist robes that Emperor Taizong gave him, and was happily eating tea.
Tea is princess tea, the world's tea, and it is no longer comparable to princess tea. Cui Feng is happy in it. In fact, he doesn't take the war too seriously.
Over the past few hundred years, the Cui family has been able to stand firm through the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and then to the Sui, Tang, and even the current Wuzhou. This is just because even though Li Chong could do the world, the Cui family was still the Cui family, which was nothing more than how many benefits they could gain in this raging fire.
But... how many benefits can the Cui family get from it... This is the issue that Cui Xu has to consider.
"Mr. Cui." Someone whispered outside the thatched cottage.
Cui Feng just coughed and signaled that he was listening.
The outsider said again: "The saint summoned him."
Cui Feng frowned and couldn't help but say, "Have the saint got back to the palace?"
"Yes, I hurried back to the palace an hour ago, issued an order to summon the officials in the court to discuss matters."
Cui Feng's eyes flashed, and he couldn't guess what Wu Zetian was thinking.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Prepare for the car."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
When Cui Yue arrived at Xuanzheng Hall, many people had already come here. He was still kneeling in the upper position on the left, looking calm and gentle.
When Wu Zetian saw him, she smiled at him and said, "Cui Qing is here, so there is no need to wait for the rest of the belated people."
"Just now..." Wu Zetian looked around and said, "I sent another good news, but this good news was a bit hasty. I only said that in the battle of Meng Xi, the Unity Camp won a complete victory. May I, my good friends, is this God bless me to the Great Zhou?"
After hearing this, Xuanzheng Hall fell into silence.
They didn't know whether it was God blessed by Dazhou, but this matter was a bit unreliable.
The people sitting here are all human spirits, without exception. How could they not know that there is always too much water in many good news? Falsification is a common thing. It is even possible that even the palace has participated in fraud, so that everyone can have confidence in the Wu family.
Seeing that no one answered, Wu Zetian's eyes fell on Cui Xu and said, "What do Cui Qing think?"
Cui Feng thought for a while, stroked his beard and said, "The saint, I... I have not seen it with my own eyes, so I dare not believe it."
This sentence is implicit, but in fact it contains a cleverness. It means that if a saint has not seen it personally, how dare he put such a ridiculous thing here seriously for discussion?
Wu Zetian was not angry. In fact, when this memorial came, she was also a little confused. It would have been fine if she had defeated the 500 thieves army in one fell swoop. But now... but twenty times the 500 thieves army, this... doesn't seem real no matter how it looks.
But she vaguely hoped for such a miracle. Although she had ordered people to go and find out the truth, she still couldn't help but call everyone, hoping that someone could give her some confidence.
Cui Feng's words represent the opinions of many people.
Ridiculous, ridiculous, this kind of thing has no value for discussion at all!
Wu Zetian fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said, "What Cui Qing said is very..."
Although he was pushed by Cui Feng for a moment, Wu Zetian seemed a little confused.
This rebellion of the Jinzhou bandit army really gave her too many lingering fears. This battle decided the fate of the Wu family, which was really careless.
So the hall became silent.
Wu Zetian didn't speak.
The ministers were also happy to be idle. Everyone had their own thoughts and had their own plans.

OK, please allow the tiger to continue asking for a vote. It is really bleak and hurtful! (To be continued...)
