Of course, the competition between the Black Sword and the Broken Dao Sword was just a simple collision.
And if it's a life-and-death battle, there won't be a hundred moves. The Dao-Breaking Sword can still cut off the opponent's black sword.
But this is in extreme cases.
An exquisite weapon, rare in the world.
Even if there is, it will eventually fall into the hands of the imperial court or Emperor Wu City.
And each major sect, whether it is the righteous path or the demonic path, will have an inventory of exquisite weapons.
But there are definitely not many.
Generally speaking, the black knives of the Black Knife Sect are still relatively superior among them.
"It seems that when I go back to the Imperial City, I want to ask Dai De'an for the black sword.
Although the black knife is not bad, it is only for Jianghu.
It seems a bit ordinary when placed in the imperial court.
The key is that it can achieve the greatest effect if it is combined with the Black Knife Sect's techniques. "
"I will take over this army now, don't panic, just follow our orders!"
Fang Zihang has already started shouting here.
Because of his previous killings, no one among the rebels spoke out against it.
But Liu Xin discovered a strange existence in the crowd.
Because he found that the man seemed to be wearing an official uniform.
Liu Xin rode his horse and came to the man.
This is a middle-aged man.
Liu Xin deliberately showed off Jin Yiwei's waistband.
Ordinary people only recognize Jin Yiwei by their clothes, which are Feiyu suits.
Most of Jin Yiwei's waist cards are well known to officialdom officials.
After all, every time Jin Yiwei takes someone, he will show off his belt.
When the middle-aged man saw the waistband on Liu Xin's body, his expression suddenly changed.
Liu Xin knew that the other party should really be an official, rather than someone who stole his clothes from somewhere.
"Here is a blank piece of paper, the magistrate of Tianlin County, Yuzhou!"
Liu Xin looked at the middle-aged man named Zhang Baizhi in front of him.
Judging from the attribute panel, he is really a county magistrate, but why is he among the refugees?
The court official must have nothing to do with the refugees, even though he is just a county magistrate.
Zhang Baizhi saw the doubtful look on Liu Xindian's face and immediately explained.
"Sir, I was kidnapped by the people in the county, but we got separated later on when we came here.
So no one knew my identity, so I concealed my identity among the rebels and stayed there until now.
The purpose of staying in the rebels is that I want to change the minds of these people through my efforts.
What they want is nothing more than food, clothing, and survival.
I am incompetent and cannot allow the people to live such a basic life.
Therefore, the official decided to save these people. We can’t let the people die from unnecessary disasters! "
The words on the blank sheet of paper are sincere and don't look fake.
However, Liu Xin still asked some people to call in some people, all of whom gathered around Zhang Baizhi.
I think these should be at least familiar to Zhang Baizhi.
Under Fang Zihang's power, these ordinary people were shaking like chaff, but the answers were almost the same as what was said on a piece of white paper.
After receiving the news, Liu Xin looked at the solemn look on Zhang Baizhi's face and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He is just an ordinary person with no cultivation, and he may die at any time among the rebels.
Moreover, the other party is also a scholar. Cowardice among scholars is common knowledge among warriors.
Those who dare to do these things among the rebels must put life and death at risk.
Such characters are rare in this world. At least with today's trend, literati must have a cowardly hat on their heads.
"I have to make sure what you say is true. Magistrate Zhang won't blame me."
Liu Xin dismounted and came to Zhang Baizhi, who shook his head repeatedly.
"Fortunately, Xiaguan has achieved some results these days.
I have contacted many people, but none of them have the intention to become rebels.
They were just coerced here. These days they have been running around with large groups of people, and most of them have never had their lives on their hands.
We have always wanted to find a way to escape, but unfortunately the rebel leaders are all highly skilled in martial arts, and we are no match for them.
Fortunately, the adults showed up. "
Zhang Baizhi continued, but his face was a little pale, as if he remembered Fang Zihang's killing scene just now.
Those powers that seemed to ordinary people without martial arts like immortals coming down from the earth really shocked their minds.
When Fang Zihang took action, the most economical way to kill was to chop off the heads, so he chopped off the heads along the way.
Wherever he passed, red and white things were mixed together, and when they fell on the ground, they were mixed with the dark soil. The scene was enough to scare ordinary people to tears.
The people in the distance didn't even dare to look at Fang Zihang, their faces turned pale and they stared down at their toes.
The white paper is just pale, which is much better in comparison.
"Now that all the rebel leaders have been executed, I am confident that I can settle these people.
only..."
There was hesitation on the white paper.
Although Zhang Baizhi is different from ordinary literati, his behavior is still somewhat similar. These hypocritical manners seem to be engraved in their bones.
Liu Xin glanced at the blank piece of paper and understood in his heart, he said lightly:
"Please tell me, Magistrate Zhang, if you have any difficulties, I will definitely find a way to help you."
"My lord, what you say is serious!"
A cunning look flashed across Zhang Baizhi's face, followed by a hint of nervousness.
He didn't know whether his next request would arouse the resentment of the Lord Jin Yiwei.
Although he saw the identity of the other Jinyiwei, he didn't know the other's rank. He just looked at Fang Zihang's ferocious look and bravery next to him, so he judged that he should be of a high level.
But the other party happened to be too young.
Moreover, the image of Jinyiwei in the hearts of their civil servants is undoubtedly that of a fierce tiger and a vicious dog.
So I was really nervous about having a blank piece of paper.
"But it doesn't matter."
Liu Xin showed a smile.
"There are a total of 4,731 people here.
They are all refugees, tragic people who have been separated from their families or have lost their families.
The only thing they want now is to survive and have a good fight with this stupid god! "
Liu Xinyan's expression changed slightly. Although the other party said that, he knew the way of heaven in Zhang Baizhi's mouth...perhaps he was the current His Majesty.
Unexpectedly, they already had complaints against the emperor, but they just didn't dare to say it openly.
And these scholars are really vicious.
Zhang Baizhi looked at Liu Xin's face carefully. If Liu Xin's face showed a hint of something bad, he would not continue talking.
This is also a kind of temptation.
There was no strange expression on Liu Xin's face, and the change in his expression just happened for just a moment. He pretended to think about it, and then said:
"County Magistrate Zhang continues."
Zhang Baizhi didn't see any clues from Liu Xin's face. The change in his face just now may be that he heard the metaphor in his words. It seemed that the other person was not the kind of big-breasted and brainless guy.
In desperation, Zhang Baizhi could only continue talking.
“These people are now going crazy with hunger, and the rebel leaders have allowed them to find food and survive in desperate situations several times.
But before you can find food, you need to plunder one side in a rebel way.
Therefore, many people have developed inertial thinking.
This kind of thinking is very dangerous. Once this continues, they will really transform from ordinary people into rebels.
Then they really won’t be able to look back! "
"Actually, it's not easy for you to look back now. Your hands are already stained with the blood of officers and soldiers!"
Suddenly, a man in the crowd shouted loudly. His face was extremely ferocious, and he squeezed out of the crowd. He was so strong that several ordinary people were easily pulled aside by him.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present changed. Zhang Baizhi also turned pale suddenly and looked at this person suddenly.
Liu Xin's eyes were cold, and without any hesitation, he took action decisively and cut the man's throat with a sword in the air.
The man clutched his throat and fell to the ground in pain, twitching continuously.
There was confusion in his eyes as to why this man's sword was so fast. He had been very careful not to get close to Liu Xin, and even vaguely distanced himself. However, the distance of several feet was like nothing in front of the other party. He crossed directly over to kill him. he.
After the man fell to the ground for a while, the people next to him reacted, but they were still stunned.
The fear in their hearts quickly took over their minds, and they could no longer remember much of what this person just said.
Liu Xin said indifferently:
“So there are still remnants of the rebels like you!
Deserve to be executed!
If there are still rebels hiding in the crowd, I advise you to hide them and don't let me discover them, otherwise your life will be worse than death! "
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Baizhi's expression suddenly became better.
Regardless of the identity of the person lying on the ground now, what he just said was heartbreaking.
One sentence shook the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of the people around him.
Fortunately, Liu Xin responded quickly.
There is still opportunity for redress.
Sure enough, then I heard Liu Xin say:
"As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, although the more than 4,300 of you are still not up to His Majesty's standard of the law not punishing the public!
But among the more than 100,000 rebels here, how many of them are common people like you? If these people are all redeemed.
Your Majesty, it is impossible for you to order tens of thousands of people to be killed!
therefore..."
Having said this, Liu Xin looked at the blank piece of paper and his voice became softer.
Fang Zihang and several other bandits were already standing around, staring at a group of rebel civilians with fear in their eyes.
"County Magistrate Zhang, I originally had such a plan, but I struggled with not having a good executor.
And if I do it myself, I may not have enough time.
Therefore, I would like to leave this matter to County Magistrate Zhang. "
Zhang Baizhi immediately bowed and bowed to the end, his tone extremely sincere.
"Sir, please tell me, as long as I can save these tens of thousands of people, Zhang will die without regrets!"
“Magistrate Zhang said something serious, it’s not a big deal.
Any one of you is a citizen of Zhengyang Dynasty, and is extremely important.
People can be ignorant, so people like Magistrate Zhang are needed to lead people on the right path. "
Liu Xin thought about his vague awareness of the general trend of the world. He always had a feeling that the world was about to face chaos.
Then Liu Xin briefly explained his plan on a piece of white paper.
After hearing this, Zhang Baizhi immediately had a look of astonishment in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the Jin Yiwei in front of him could come up with such a plan.
"What do you want me to do, sir? It's my duty to serve as an official!"
"What Magistrate Zhang needs to do is very simple. I have already captured a castle, and the food in it should be enough to feed tens of thousands of people for two or three days.
If it were just you, more than 4,000 people, we would probably be able to feed you for half a month.
I will take you there next. Magistrate Zhang needs to handle the resettlement work. I also have to deal with the other rebels. "
Zhang Baizhi did not expect that Liu Xin would capture a fortress, and there would be food in it.
The fortress near the imperial capital, are they ordinary landowners?
That was a group of gentry with a deep backing behind them.
Liu Xin actually captured such a group of people and distributed all the food to the refugees.
Although Zhang Baizhi feels a little unbelievable and even a bit fanciful, as long as there is food, it is enough, and nothing else is important.
After experiencing this period of ups and downs, wandering between life and death several times, and seeing many separations between life and death, Zhang Baizhi's whole person has undergone some transformation.
Even he himself didn't know that some subtle changes were taking place in him, and after meeting Liu Xin, his changes were taken to another path.
"As long as there is food, I can ensure that the mission is completed."
Liu Xin looked at Zhang Baizhi, who looked confident, and felt relieved.
He was indeed a little worried that he would not be able to make it in time.
Even if Ban Zong and other Jin Yiwei are asked to handle some things, they may not be able to do them well.
They are good at investigating murders, but they are completely amateurs when it comes to reassuring people.
He didn't expect that he could meet an expert like Zhang Baizhi among the rebels.
All I can say is that God helped him.
After that, everything went according to Liu Xin's plan.
The rebel army soon arrived at Zhangjiabao.
Although Zhangjiabao seems to have a large gate and tight defenses, it has long been empty.
There were only a few Jinyi guards guarding it.
When they saw Liu Xin arriving with thousands of people, they couldn't help but have horror in their eyes.
They didn't expect Liu Xin to really do it.
He captured so many prisoners alive with one person.
The gate of Zhangjiabao was opened, and under the coordination of Zhang Baizhi, everyone entered Zhangjiabao in an orderly manner.
And just a quarter of an hour later, the expressions of these more than 4,000 people changed dramatically.
There was greed, excitement, and sadness on their faces.
Because in front of them stood three huge barns!
If there was such a barn in their hometown, I don't know how many people could be saved.
Among them are their families, relatives and friends.
Many people had tears in their eyes and couldn't help but kneel down.
Liu Xin watched as some people grabbed the ground with their heads and some screamed in pain.
But no one took a step forward, even though their eyes were full of desire.
A piece of white paper came to Liu Xin's side, and Liu Xin suddenly noticed countless eyes focused on him.
"Sir, there are many smart people among the people who have already guessed your identity.
Oh, I didn’t mean that they knew your identity as Jin Yiwei.
Instead, you expelled the other rebel commanders and naturally became the new commander.
These people are living like this these days.
The leaders keep changing. "
"Then why are they so restrained now?"
There was doubt in Liu Xin's eyes. Logically speaking, these people should pounce on them directly to snatch the food.
"This group of common people originally numbered nearly ten thousand people, and most of the losses were caused by the massacres of the previous group of leaders.
The reason for the killing was because they moved the loot quickly before the leaders.
Whatever was discovered in the past, it was basically those who took the lead.
Only the leftovers will be left to the people. "
Liu Xin finally knew where the good wines from Heavenly Defeat Star Song Wei and Earthly Star Song Meng came from.
With the war in chaos, it stands to reason that they cannot have so many good things.
"Tell the people that this food belongs to them."
Liu Xin waved his hand, but saw no movement on the white paper.
"What's wrong, Magistrate Zhang?"
"Sir, if you let people take it, something might happen..."
Zhang Baizhi hesitated.
"Why?" Liu Xin asked in confusion: "Could it be that they would cause trouble when there is food?"
Liu Xinyou couldn't believe it. He didn't expect that this piece of white paper actually nodded.
"If you don't give it to the people, the people will be in chaos. If you give more to the people, the people will be in chaos."
Zhang Baizhi gave the answer directly. He thought that Liu Xin, as a warrior, would not know much about these government affairs.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xin reacted immediately after Zhang Baizhi's reminder.
There are so many people that they can't get enough.
The human heart has the most insatiable desires.
He nodded and said to a piece of white paper:
"County Magistrate Zhang, in this case, I am about to take the next step.
I will leave the thousands of people in Zhangjiapu to you.
If this happens, I will definitely write down County Magistrate Zhang’s name in the credit book. "
"Ah... I don't dare to take credit!"
"This is what County Magistrate Zhang deserves!"
Liu Xin's tone could not be refused.
The identities of Zhang Baizhi and Liu Xin are very different. The former is only a junior civil servant, while Liu Xin is the mainstay of the military commanders, and the status of Jin Yiwei is different.
So the gap between the two is huge.
In terms of status, Zhang Baizhi is at most the same as a small flag officer of Jinyiwei.
Several Jin Yiwei still stayed in Zhangjiabao to assist Zhang Baizhi.
Liu Xinze and Fang Zihang continued to act according to this process.
On the other side, Ban Zong strictly implemented Liu Xin's instructions.
Jinyiwei used the internal intelligence of these landlords to easily break into them.
He even directly knocked on the doors of these landlords as Jin Yiwei.
When Liu Xin started to take action, he had already led Jin Yiwei to defeat three families in a row.
Although these three companies are not as good as Zhangjiabao, their combined resources are about twice that of Zhangjiabao.
It's late afternoon.
The imperial capital was already buzzing with banners, and the elite 20,000 people mobilized from the pro-army and forbidden forces had already lined up on Zhengyangmen Street.
A high platform was set up near Yongding Gate in the south of the imperial capital.
Several high-ranking generals, wearing military uniforms, stood on the stage.
In the middle is the current military commander of Zhengyang, Wu Guogong Zhu Guangxiao.
On his left is the Duke of Qin, Tuoba Yunhan, and on his right is the commander of the imperial army, Kou Yiwen.
He is not only the person with the highest military power in the imperial capital, but also the uncle of the current country.
To His Majesty, that is first-rate loyalty.
