Therefore, the best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plans, and then the world can be won.
Near the mountains where the commoner army was rising, the imperial court's advance was halted and even pushed back hundreds of miles, narrowly avoiding a defeat.
There is a white-haired veteran on the battlefield.
Xu He was not only a commander, but also a fierce general. He commanded the commoner army like a wielder of arms. He pushed his great power to the extreme and filled the heaven and earth, defeating the majority with the minority and the strong with the weak.
But everyone will eventually run out of strength.
There are millions of commoners, and now 70% of them have surrendered. Some are drifting with the tide, some are selfish, and some are simply timid. The entire commoner army collapsed just because of the sword made of silver and gold.
Even if Xu He was the incarnation of Wu Qu Star, how could he win when he had lost the right time, place and people?
An envoy sent by the court.
"If the Holy Master surrenders, he will be rewarded with a place of leisure."
Xu He shook his head and did not agree. The imperial envoy thought there was a chance, and quickly added: "If the Holy Master has any request, please make it. The Prime Minister said that even a marquis can afford it."
Now the common people's army is doomed and has no chance to fight for the world, but the foundation still exists. They have been reclaiming the mountains for more than ten years, and now they can retreat to the mountains, use the mountains as walls, show their strength, and look at the world with a tiger's eye.
Eventually it became a country in the mountains, a sharp knife always pressing against the neck of the imperial court.
This was something that no one in the court wanted to foresee.
Another thing is that Xu He is too strong, and he and the prime minister are called the two saints. If the prime minister dies first, then it is uncertain who will win or lose.
"The world is one," Xu He said without hesitation, "all occupations are equal, people are equal, people have a place to live, workers have income, children have education, and the elderly have support."
"Can the court give it to you?"
Boom boom boom!
The sound was like thunder. The imperial envoys stepped back one after another, looking at him in disbelief.
Is this hysteria?
Xu He smiled and said, "Look, the court can't give it to me, and no one in the world can give it to me, so I'll take it myself."
The negotiations were fruitless, and the imperial army attacked more frantically, while the commoner army was defeated and retreated all the way to the mountains.
Twenty years later, Xu He fled back to the mountains again, but this time he failed again.
Tie Niu had died in battle eight years ago, and his eldest son asked the same question.
"Holy Master, what should we do?"
"I'll come back in ten years."
"What if I can't get out after 10 years? Now the thief Li wants the young emperor to abdicate and establish a new dynasty. You said that the prime minister of this dynasty is an extraordinary person. I'm afraid..."
"Then twenty years, thirty years"
The old man looks back at the world, his eyes have not lost their color with age, they are still as passionate and persistent as ever.
He grinned and said, "I will kill all the damn landlords one day."
A refugee, still drifting in every corner of the world.
Li Shengxian ascended the throne at the age of 42, thus ending the 40-year-long turmoil in the world. However, a haze projected from the mountains always shrouded the temple.
"Is he out yet?"
This was the most common thing Li Shengxian said after he became emperor. In order to block the fierce tigers in the mountains, he built three large cities along the mountain roads.
In the first year, the country was at peace and the court distributed land.
The next year, industry and commerce were revitalized.
The third year, a good harvest.
The fourth year, a good harvest.
The fifth year, a good harvest.
It seemed as if God was on the side of the new dynasty. With three consecutive years of good harvests and Li Shengxian's enlightened governance, the world had begun to flourish and the scars of the past had disappeared.
The self-cultivating farmers who own land and food will no longer follow the common people's army to cause trouble, and the sage teacher who has been watching the world from the mountains has become a big thief who is condemned by the whole world.
Li Shengxian finally slept well after many years.
At midnight, the eunuch hurriedly woke him up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a rebellion, a rebellion! The thief Xu has come out!"
"What?!"
Li Shengxian, who was over fifty years old, hurriedly got up from the bed, without even bothering to put on his clothes, and went to the main hall to call all the civil and military officials in the court.
When the minister heard the word "Xu thief", he was so frightened that his sleepiness disappeared completely.
Later, news came that a rebellion had occurred in the country in the mountains, and that the common people, civil and military officials had colluded with each other and intended to usurp the throne.
"Then why did Xu He come out?" Li Shengxian asked.
"I don't know, but the spies ahead reported that the thief Xu came out alone. The common people did not move, and those who wanted to follow the thief Xu were executed immediately. Now the letter of surrender from the country in the mountains is on the way to the capital."
"What about him? How dare he come out alone?"
Xu He looked at the soldiers around him who were pointing guns at him, led by the son of the former Iron Ox, who surrounded him.
He asked, "Kid, is it wrong to save people?"
No one answered, and everyone bowed their heads. Then they approached.
After a burst of swordplay, ten corpses were seen on the ground.
Xu He captured the enemy alive, held him hostage and fought his way out of the encirclement. He rode on a fine horse, with silver armor and white hair, and looked back at the common people army behind him.
He raised his spear high, looked up to the sky and shouted, "I am leaving."
All that was left was a figure riding a horse galloping down the mountain in the morning sunshine.
Five years later, he came out again. After two major defeats, he decided to go on the expedition for the third time.
This time the army consists of only one person!
After traveling a hundred miles and emerging from the mountains, they were met by an army of ten thousand cavalrymen.
"kill!!!"
When the news reached the court, everyone cheered.
"Win. Win"
Li Shengxian stood up from the dragon throne, his face showing uncontrollable joy. This old rival of many years was finally going to lose to him.
He was too radical. If what the other party asked for had not been so against the will of heaven, he might not be the one sitting in this position now.
"How did he die?"
"Your Majesty, the bandit Xu fought against ten thousand cavalrymen alone and died of exhaustion."
"Alone? Where are his millions of followers?"
"The surrendered general of the country in the mountains said that the bandit Xu broke through the encirclement alone, without summoning any soldiers, and went down the mountain alone."
"Go down the mountain by yourself."
Li Shengxian was in a trance for a moment, then sat back down. All his energy was completely gone at this moment.
"How could this be, how could it be like this?"
The chessboard ends.
Panhu won, but joy did not follow, only silence.
How dare a mortal go against the will of heaven and do what the mighty cannot do. The pebble hitting the stone is only the appearance, knowing that it is impossible but still doing it is the inner meaning.
Xu He had countless opportunities to succeed, but he only chose the one that suited him best, even at the cost of his life.
This may be Li Changsheng's way, going against the flow all his life.
Li Yi was not depressed by the defeat. Instead, he smiled and said to the old tree spirit: "Look, why did I only save the people in front of me when I was young? If I had saved the world, I might have died long ago."
