This Taoist temple is like a devil's cave occupied by demons.
As long as the thousand-man team kills them, countless weeds will grow on the ground, entangling people and unable to move, or there will be swarms of bees, mosquitoes flying in, and scorpions, spiders, and ants crawling up on the ground like crazy, attacking from both sides. Elite infantrymen would flee when faced with such an encounter.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't use any big moves, but these two moves made Zuo Wang unable to advance or retreat, and his face was extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, at this time, the good news that the county seat of Donglin County had been breached came. King Zuo was overjoyed and immediately ordered Qian Ping Military General Cui Zhixian and other officials to be sent directly.
After receiving the order, Qian Pingwu did not dare to neglect at all. He even personally led the team to send these officials over.
You know, these officials did not surrender on the surface, but they actually surrendered in their hearts.
Qian Pingwu summoned them, and they answered whatever he asked, and even revealed all the weapons caches hidden in the county.
And officials who are so cooperative are so hard to find.
No way, as mentioned before, at this time, the officials of the Qinglong Kingdom still have a sense of arrogance for the Kingdom of Heaven. They look at the Kingdom of God on earth just like the bandit rebellion, and they don't look down on them at all. Even if they commit suicide, They are also unwilling to surrender and cooperate.
Therefore, in the eyes of Qian Pingwu and even Zuo Wang, Cui Zhixian and others are treasures.
As long as officials such as Cui Zhixian are brought under the rule of the Kingdom of God on earth, and then high-ranking officials are awarded noble titles, this is equivalent to digging a hole in the court system of the Qinglong Kingdom, making it easier for those officials of the Qinglong Kingdom to persuade them to surrender!
King Zuo also knew that talents were rare.
In the future, if I want to establish a small court that is different from the kingdom of God on earth, it will be impossible without talented people.
And now he has a group of illiterate and reckless men who only know how to fight and kill. They know nothing about how to govern a place, how to manage people's livelihood, etc.
If these reckless men were allowed to serve as county magistrates and manage a place, it would be a blessing for the people to have no way of living.
Although Cui Zhixian and others say that they usually prey on the common people, are omnipotent in corruption and bribery, etc., they are still officials who passed the formal imperial examination!
His diploma is at least that of a scholar! At least he is proficient in writing, knows how to write official documents, and how to arrange the people's livelihood in a place.
Besides, King Zuo also believed that he could control these officials. Even if they were corrupt and bribed, it was corruption and bribery that he agreed to!
When Cui Zhixian and others were sent to Zuowang's camp, and after a series of intimidation by swords and spears, when they saw His Highness Zuowang, their aloofness as a scholar was completely forgotten.
Cui Zhixian was the most enthusiastic. He went forward and knelt down to King Zuo, saying that he was the guilty minister and paying homage to His Majesty King Zuo.
Well, I don’t know if the word “Your Majesty” was Cui Zhixian’s slip of the tongue.
But this undoubtedly made Zuo Wang feel very comfortable.
As for the chief registrar, the county lieutenant and others were not as shameless as Cui Zhixian. They knelt down directly, but they also bowed their hands towards Zuo Wang and said they were paying their respects.
This is a level of humility that officials from the Qinglong Kingdom have never experienced before.
Subsequently, Cui Zhixian, who was deeply favored by King Zuo, was invited to the Chinese army's tent, and King Zuo personally inquired about the matter.
The thing that King Zuo wanted to ask about was the Three Emperors View.
After all, Cui Zhixian had been in contact with Master Na Fang several times, and was even deeply involved in praying for rain.
Facing Zuo Wang's inquiry, Cui Zhixian didn't dare to refuse, and then told Fang Xiaoyue a series of situations.
After King Zuo finished listening, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
To be honest, the information he got from the farmers before was naturally deified and lacked a lot of content.
King Zuo never expected that Zhenren Fang was once the Jie Yuan in the Liujiang Provincial Examination, the top five in the Capital Examination, the third best in the Palace Examination, and even the Imperial Academy Editor!
And when he did all this, he was less than 20 years old!
King Zuo recalled his miserable experience in the scientific examination. After winning the imperial examination at the age of 28, he failed the examination four times in a row. Finally, he gave up the scientific examination at the age of 41 and devoted himself to Meng Quanxiu's rebellion.
What made Zuo Wang even more awe-inspiring was that after Ding You returned home, Master Fang became obsessed with cultivating immortality. He lost all his family property in ten years, burned down the Taoist temple, wandered around, and finally achieved enlightenment and became a Taoist priest. A true man of virtue.
Of course, here, there was an error in the news from Cui Zhixian. The Taoist temple was not burned down by Fang Xiaozhen himself, but by unknown persons.
Fang Xiaoyue probably had some guesses about this matter.
The Fang family can be considered a benevolent person in Donglin County who builds roads and bridges. There may be enemies, but they will not attack his Taoist temple.
Therefore, this Taoist temple was probably burned by members of the Fang family.
Maybe it was because he couldn't bear to see him lose all his family property, or maybe it was for other reasons.
But Fang Xiaoyue has no intention of pursuing this point.
That's why Cui Zhixian got the wrong news.
After Cui Zhixian's explanation, His Royal Highness Zuo Wang finally gave up the idea of dealing with the Three Emperors Temple.
No way, as of now, he can't beat him, and if he insists on fighting with the opponent, he may be the one injured in the end.
Besides, if you haven't accomplished your great cause, how can you waste your time in such a ruined Taoist temple?
With this thought, King Zuo's inner demons were solved, and he ordered the withdrawal of troops overnight and led the army to attack the provincial capital of Liujiang Province.
However, he still had an idea, and when he withdrew his troops, he entrusted Magistrate Cui to send a gift of apology to Sanhuangguan.
Two hundred taels of gold!
Good guy, not even Cui Zhixian knew that the gift box he was carrying contained such a big gift.
Fortunately, Fang Xiaoyue accepted this great gift directly.
However, he also asked Cui Zhixian to send a message to King Zuo. He would give the two hundred taels of gold to the civilians affected by the war, hoping to pray for them, and promised that if King Zuo is in trouble in the future, he can come to Sanhuang Temple to take refuge. .
Good guy, Cui Zhixian didn't dare to bring these words to Zuo Wang at first.
As a master of human relations, Zhixian Cui knew the temper of King Zuo deeply.
They are in their prime now. If you tell them this, isn't it like putting your neck on the hanger?
But King Zuo was not an ordinary person. Seeing that Magistrate Cui was hesitating in his answer, he immediately ordered him to answer truthfully.
Cui Zhixian had no choice but to tell Fang Xiaoyue's words truthfully.
What Cui Zhixian never expected was that King Zuo was not angry. Instead, he frowned and pondered for a while before waving him off.
Of course, no matter how he performed, King Zuo did not give up on creating his own great achievements because of Fang Xiaoyue's words.
In the following months, King Zuo's army was invincible and captured more than 70 cities, including the provincial capital of Liujiang Province, and brought most of Liujiang Province under his rule.
