The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2033 Liu Shan's trump card

Thirty miles outside Ning'an City, the people poured out of the city, and the million-strong army returned. It should have been a lively time, but at this moment it was dead silent.

Everyone looked at Liu Shan in surprise, looking at the left prime minister who once covered the sky with one hand, looking at the master of the sect, and looking at the old man whose hair was gradually turning white.

Liu Shan's subordinates looked at him and suddenly felt that the majestic figure of the past was like a mountain collapse.

Liu Shan's enemies looked at him and suddenly felt that the arrogant Prime Minister Liu was just like this.

Thousands of soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, as if venting all the evil in their hearts.

There are thousands of soldiers in Jingguo, and the person they hate the most is not the monster, but Liu Shan.

Many people don't know the specific reason, but they can probably guess one or two, the backlash of the military soul.

Not only can the thoughts of the saints remain in the world after death, but all human beings also leave thoughts after death, even if they are insignificant.

No matter how strong the power of Zongsheng's holy way is, it cannot regard Junhun as an enemy. No matter how powerful it is, it cannot destroy the national destiny of Jingguo.

Many scholars looked at Fang Yun.

Only then did they understand that Fang Yun had not taken action before, not because he was afraid of Liushan or Zongsheng, but because he was planning step by step to deal with Liushan with means that Zongsheng could not stop.

When Fang Yun wrote that poem, he had already blown the final horn to Liushan.

After the death of Dongsheng Pavilion's special envoy and Ao Xuan, Liushan finally couldn't hold back and went into battle himself, but he didn't expect that Fang Yun would return with a great victory and kill his national destiny with a long-brewing war poem!

The wrinkles on Liushan's face increased and deepened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The queen mother suddenly sighed and said, "Prime Minister Liu is in poor health. Come, send Prime Minister Liu back to the capital to recuperate. Don't let him work hard anymore."

The soldiers behind the queen mother hesitated and looked at Zhou Junhu.

Zhou Junhu, as the general in charge of the entire army in the capital, glared at them, and the guards walked quickly towards Liu Shan.

Seeing that the four guards were about to grab Liu Shan's arms, a strong talent burst out from his body, driving the nearby heaven and earth vitality, and knocking the four guards to the ground.

"I am fine!" Liu Shan raised his head and looked directly at the Queen Mother. Even though he suddenly aged twenty years, even though his hair and beard were all white, his majesty remained the same, and his eyes were bright and energetic, like a bright lamp in the night.

Many university scholars and great scholars showed surprise. Suffering from the backlash of the military soul and being abandoned by the national destiny, anyone would choose to retreat bravely and leave Jingguo, at least the literary position would be preserved. As long as the patriarch made a little effort, he could still be promoted to a great scholar in the future. It was nothing more than a temporary failure of a spy, and he could make a comeback.

The national destiny was not the power of a semi-saint, and it could not directly kill Liu Shan, but as long as Liu Shan was in Jingguo for one day, he would be continuously affected by the national destiny and constantly encounter disasters.

However, Liu Shan is now fighting to the end.

Fang Yun understood immediately that Jing State was on the verge of collapse and the barbarians were invading in large numbers. If Jing State was destroyed, Jing State's national destiny would no longer be able to influence him. Instead of admitting his mistakes and causing the efforts of the past years to go to waste, it is better to wait for the final result before making plans.

What's more, the national destiny cannot issue orders and cannot remove Liu Shan from his official position.

Most of the Liu party members looked at Liu Shan with pale faces. Even if Liu Shan occupied the position of left prime minister, it would be useless, because as long as he was in Jing State, his official seal could not connect to the holy temple, and he could not do things such as passing books and reading discussion lists.

Not only that, all those who opposed Liu Shan would be favored by the national destiny, and those who supported Liu Shan would gradually be disgusted by the national destiny, and in the end they might even be completely abandoned by the national destiny like Liu Shan.

There were still a few left-wingers who did not change their expressions. Gu Mingzhou said, "Prime Minister Liu is in good health and has no illness. He should continue to serve as the left-winger."

Sai Zhixuewen: "Liu Shande is hostile to the national destiny and is despised by the people. He cannot connect to the holy temple in Jingguo. How can he serve as the left-winger again?"

Gu Mingzhou said righteously, "Is Jingguo ruled by the national destiny, the people, or the monarch? The monarch is not here, and the monsters and barbarians are watching. How can there be internal fighting? Just now, you wanted to severely punish Fang Xusheng. What is your explanation?"

Everyone was unable to refute. At first, they used Ning'an's danger as an excuse to protect Fang Yun. Now Gu Mingzhou used the same method.

Gu Mingzhou turned to the queen mother and said, "I have just sent a letter to Yuyang Pass, asking Yingyang General Tong Luan to lead 500,000 troops to the north to help Ning'an."

"You..."

The queen mother clenched her right fist and trembled slightly. Everyone felt the anger in her tone.

Many people looked at Fang Yun.

What everyone was most worried about was finally happening.

When Fang Yun was taking the exam for the scholar, he once bet with Tong Luan's grandson to destroy the Wen Palace. Later, Tong Luan's grandson failed and died. Tong Luan wanted to seek revenge on Fang Yun.

On the way, Li Wenying intercepted Tong Luan with his blood-stained ancient sword. Tong Luan was furious and abandoned the Queen Mother and became a disciple of Zuo Xiang.

After Fang Yun became the magistrate of Ning'an County, he successfully cleaned up the Zuo Xiang party members in Mizhou, forcing the former Yingyang General Lan Xungu to commit suicide out of fear of crime. So Tong Luan successfully took over as Yingyang General and took charge of Yumen Pass.

In recent years, the Zuo Xiang party members seem to be cursed. The closer they are to Liu Shan, the harder it is for them to break through the Wen rank. Some of those who leave the Zuo Xiang party will break through the Wen rank.

Tong Luan is an exception. He is obviously just a Hanlin. After becoming Liu Shan's confidant, he was promoted to a university scholar, stationed at Yuyang Pass, and led the elite Yingyang Army.

Now the main force of the Yingyang Army has reached 500,000. With the addition of 500,000 new troops, Tong Luan has a million soldiers and is a first-class powerful figure in Jingguo.

Once Ning'an City is broken, Yuyang Pass will be the last gateway to the capital. It can even be said that Tong Luan is now the most important university scholar in the military of Jingguo!

The Yingyang Army is stationed at Yuyang Pass and belongs to Mizhou. It has been managed by Liushan for decades. Almost all the generals of the army are members of the Zuo Xiang Party.

Now, Tong Luan actually led 500,000 elite Yingyang Army to Ning'an. This is not reinforcement, but cheering for Liushan, telling everyone that even if the national destiny is hostile to Liushan now, even if the Zuo Xiang Party has declined in the court, there is still a powerful force!

Jingguo is crumbling, and every soldier, especially the veterans, is a precious treasure. If Liushan is moved now, the millions of Yingyang Army will inevitably mutiny, and Jingguo cannot bear such a drastic change.

Liushan finally used the real killer.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, saying, "Gu Aiqing is right. Jingguo is facing internal and external troubles, and Ning'an City is about to be attacked by barbarians. It is not wise to change the prime minister at this time. Whether it is the matter of national destiny or Fang Xusheng killing the special envoy of Dongsheng Pavilion, let's put it aside for now. When the Ning'an matter is settled, we will return to Beijing to deal with it."

"The Queen Mother is wise!" Gu Mingzhou bowed his head and saluted.

"The Queen Mother is wise!" The civil and military officials reluctantly accepted the current situation.

The Queen Mother then said, "Old General Tong Luan guarded Yuyang Pass and made great contributions. I think he doesn't need to come to Ning'an."

Gu Mingzhou looked at Liu Shan, who had just sent him a message to do so.

Liu Shan said, "Resisting the monsters and barbarians is the duty of the people of Jingguo. Tong Luan led an army of 500,000 to come, which will only benefit Ning'an City and not harm it. The Queen Mother should not refuse."

"Then it is so." There was anger in the Queen Mother's voice.
