The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2584 The army is approaching

The capital city at dusk, with the night lights not on, looks a bit desolate.

The afterglow slowly receded on the horizon, reflecting a huge sky-walking ship.

Fang Yun and the court officials stood under the sky-walking ship, looking at the figures of the great scholars on the ship.

The sky-walking ship slowly took off, getting farther and farther, and finally disappeared at the end of the sky.

Some officials of Jing State stared at the distance in a trance, extremely lost.

The Fa family left after all.

Fang Yun turned around and slowly walked towards the city gate. Seeing that Fang Yun could not get on the carriage, the officials did not dare to act rashly and followed behind silently.

After the Holy Dao Wenhui, all the hidden players in the court were removed.

Now those who remain in the court are either Fang Yun's people or have given up opposing Fang Yun.

Only the Fa scholars present can feel that Fang Yun is like a huge furnace, as if burning the world, making it difficult for them to approach.

The Holy Dao Dharma Crown and the Holy Dao Dharma Code are still in Fang Yun's Wen Palace.

Fang Yun's steps were very slow, and no one was impatient.

The officials looked at Fang Yun's back and suddenly felt that his figure was a little old, and seemed more stable than before, but also more lonely.

Everyone knew that the most difficult period for Jingguo was about to come.

The scholars of the Miscellaneous Family had already made a public statement on the discussion list that they no longer cared whether Fang Yun handed in the civil servant examination or not, because the Miscellaneous Family had joined forces with Qingguo, Guguo and Jiaguo to immediately launch the civil servant examination.

As for other countries, except for Wuguo, which had long been learning from Jingguo, the rest of the countries were waiting and watching. At least so far, they did not want to expose their greed.

Jiaguo's turning to the Miscellaneous Family was like a bolt from the blue for the people of Jingguo. Many people suspected that this had an unclear relationship with the Lei Family of Jiaguo.

When he reached the city gate, Fang Yun got on the carriage that followed him and returned to the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion to continue handling government affairs.

The originally noisy capital suddenly became quiet as a large number of scholars from various countries left.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the eunuchs of the palace entered the Zuo Xiang Pavilion on time and asked Fang Yun to go to the palace to teach Jing Jun Zhao Yuan.

Fang Yun's reply was to give Zhao Yuan a day off and check his homework tomorrow night.

The eunuch took the order and left.

The queen mother who got the news sat by the window, looking at the sparse stars, frowning.

Zhao Yuan, however, had a lot of fun with the palace maids and eunuchs in the yard because he got the leave from the teacher.

The officials of the entire cabinet did not leave.

There was no order, but everyone stayed in the cabinet in an orderly manner, handling various government affairs, busy and walking around.

It seemed that no one noticed that it was already night.

On the discussion list, the topic of the Shengdao Wenhui gradually cooled down, and rumors spread everywhere, all believing that the Zajia would take action against Jingguo.

Everyone knew that the Shengdao Wenhui had strengthened the Zajia's determination to wipe out Jingguo.

The continued growth of Jingguo has become the biggest stumbling block for the Zajia.

In the brightly lit Zuo Xiang Pavilion, the officials did not dare to disturb Fang Yun, because even if they knocked on the door, Fang Yun did not open it.

In the study, the light of the night pearl was soft and bright. Fang Yun sat upright on the armchair, and a stack of white paper was placed on the table in front of him.

The inkstone turtle crawled up and down on the table, twisting its butt from time to time, always showing disdain, disliking this and that.

The ink girl quietly placed herself in the ink, revealing half of her face, her little mouth spitting bubbles in the ink, staring at Fang Yun intently.

The mist butterfly got a great benefit in the Burial Valley, and has turned into a light cocoon in the Wen Palace. I don’t know when it will break out of the cocoon.

The night changed from light to dark.

Fang Yun has been sitting at the table, occasionally sending and receiving some letters.

When the night changed from dark to light, Fang Yun’s frequency of sending and receiving letters increased.

Jingguo, Ding County.

Twenty miles away from this small town is Qingguo.

As the border between the two countries, Ding County has gradually prospered because of trade.

When the sky turned from dark to deep blue, a large and extremely light shadow came quickly from the direction of Qing Kingdom.

Only when the university scholar focused on observing could he see clearly that it was an army covered by military tactics.

With the blessing of military tactics and war poems, the full 200,000 troops approached Ding County at a speed several times faster than that of a normal person running at full speed.

In the sky, there were two huge airships filled with various mechanisms and war materials.

In addition to various mechanisms and materials, there were also many scholars on the airships.

There were more than 30 university scholars, more than 50 Hanlin scholars, more than 500 Jinshi scholars, and tens of thousands of candidates.

The strength of this army has surpassed any army in the Two Realms Mountain.

As early as the first battle of the Two Realms Mountain, the Holy Academy of the Human Race had announced the most severe decree that countries were not allowed to use great scholars to participate in the human civil war, otherwise, there would be at least five more great scholars on the airships.

It was not until the army arrived three miles away from Ding County that the holy temple of Ding County issued a warning.

Then, the urgent voice of the county magistrate Yang Chutao rang out throughout Ding County.

"All of Ding County, listen to the order. The Qing army is approaching and is about to attack the city. All officials and soldiers, go to the east of the city immediately, without any mistakes! If the people in the city do not want to participate in the war, they can escape from the west gate. If they are willing to live and die with Ding County, they can gather in the east of the city. Once they win, they will be rewarded! Anyone who tries to create chaos will be killed without mercy!"

Tens of thousands of homes in Ding County lit up continuously, and the whole city was in chaos. Some people took the most valuable things in their homes and fled to the west of the city. Some people stayed at home, at a loss, and some people took their farm tools and walked towards the east of the city.

The people who went to the east of the city were less than one-tenth of the number who fled.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the officers and soldiers from all over the county had no choice but to head to the east of the city. They knew very well the consequences of escaping now.

Not long after, people from all over the county arrived in the east of the city. All the scholars who were willing to participate in the war stood on the city wall, looking ahead, their scalps numb.

Qing's 200,000-strong army had stopped three miles away. They did not attack immediately, but were quickly unloading the siege equipment from the Kongxinglou ship.

With the efforts of Gongjia scholars, fifty sets of siege equipment can be assembled in a quarter of an hour at most, which can break through the city wall of Ding County in a short period of time. If the Qing State is willing, it can even quickly raze the entire Ding County to the ground. Flat ground.

However, what disappointed the scholars in Ding County the most was not the siege equipment, but the tens of thousands of scholars on board the empty ships.

Next, it will not be a battle, but a crushing. The Qing army conquering Ding County is easier than squeezing an ant to death.

Xi Shi, the governor of Fengzhou in the Qing Dynasty, was riding on a white armored horse. He looked at the many Ding County officials on the city wall and showed an indifferent smile. He said: "A few years ago, you all were officials in the same court as Xi." "Xi Mou has always cherished his old feelings and is unwilling to kill more. As long as you offer the city, Xi Mou will not kill anyone. If he wants to stay, he will be promoted to the third level! If he wants to leave, he will not stop him."

The county magistrate Yang Chutao said categorically: "Thank you so much, Bachelor Xi, but since Xiangzhou has returned to Jingguo, then we will be the officials of Jingguo in life, and the soul of Jingguo in death. There is no need to say much when the two armies are fighting, but at this moment At the time of the second war between the two realms, the demons and barbarians are watching with eager eyes, but the Qing Kingdom has provoked a war. Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back by the scholars in the world? "

Xi Shi said: "Jingjun is unruly and Fang's thieves are monopolizing power. I responded to the request of some officials of Jingguo and saved Jingguo from fire and water. How can we talk about provoking a war?"
