Chapter 157: Unwilling (4000 words, please subscribe! Please vote!)

In the giant dragon boat,

On the dragon throne, which represents the highest authority in the world,
There was a middle-aged man sitting there, and this man was Wang Ming.

At this time, Wang Ming was absorbing the skills of these thirty or so loyal ministers, but his mind was always on the two armies outside the court.

Although he could not see the situation outside while being inside the dragon boat, people with Wang Ming's cultivation had extremely strong hearing.

You can collect information from the outside world through hearing, and then summarize this information in your brain to get a rough idea of ​​the situation on the battlefield.

The battle situation was very bad at this time.

The original 300,000 guards were reduced to less than 100,000, and it was now extremely difficult to stop the attacks of the 18 rebel kings outside.

The giant dragon boat is too big to be driven by wind, and it cannot be rowed by oars alone, so trackers must be on the shore to pull the boat to make it move.

However, the armies of the eighteen rebel kings blocked the way for the boat trackers, so the dragon boat had no way to leave at this time.

There was no way for Wang Ming to escape by boat.

Song Zhizhan, the second in command of the Song clan, stepped out of the ranks and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the guards are about to collapse. It is only a matter of time before the rebels outside break in. I am willing to swear to protect Your Majesty and leave the battlefield."

Wang Ming glanced at Song Zhi. Wang Ming had seen the more than one hundred people that Song Zhi brought with him.

When the more than one hundred people were taking action, their cultivation levels could be clearly felt. There were more than twenty experts who had reached the innate level of cultivation (there might be very few among the younger generation, but the older generation had a very large base). Basically everyone of them had some true Qi cultivation, which was definitely not simple.

Their equipment is equally sophisticated and can be said to be armed to the teeth.

As to whether this army could escort Wang Ming out, Wang Ming felt it was possible.

But if they break out, Song Zhi will probably stop believing in Song and will want to be like Cao.

Wang Ming did not respond to Song Zhi's words, but paid attention to the outside.

If these rebels come in before I have absorbed all my power, I will be in great trouble.

then,

Wang Ming used his internal energy to amplify his voice so that everyone on the battlefield could hear it.

I tried to speak in a gentle and sincere tone: "I know that most of you were coerced into rebellion. Today I will give you a chance. As long as you flee the battlefield immediately, I will forgive all your crimes.

After this sentence fell, the ministers in the Dragon Boat Hall did not move. They were still mocking Yang Guang in their hearts: "At this time, you still think you are the emperor who can command the world! Idiot!"

But the rebel soldiers outside were in an uproar.

It was like a thunderbolt that broke their hearts.

Many of the 800,000 rebel soldiers were tempted.

after all,

Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for fame, fortune and status are still only a small minority of the population.

There are only a few people who have the ability to make a fortune in this chaotic world.

Most people are afraid of death and their pursuit in life is a wife, children and a warm bed.

Most people's abilities are just mediocre. In this chaotic battlefield, life is as worthless as grass and can be destroyed at any time.

Most of them, because of the instigation of these anti-kings, embarked on the road of rebellion and there was no turning back.

There's just no way to turn back.

Although they were tempted, it was just an intention. The bows and arrows of the supervisory team behind them were not for show.

Wang Ming's gentle and earnest voice came again: "The reason these rebel kings rebel against me is that I am cruel, but these rebel kings are more cruel and brutal than me. Do you still think they are wise rulers? Their end is bound to be failure, and you who rebel with them will surely be executed along with them."

Wang Ming said this to those ambitious and intelligent people. There is no need to say too much, as they will analyze for themselves whether their lord is worth following.

For example, Xu Maogong and Qin Shubao of Wagang Village were thinking about this problem. Wagang Village was called the Great Demon Kingdom, and Cheng Yaojin was the emperor. In fact, this emperor was just a decoration, and the agreement was only for three years. The most powerful person in Wagang Village was Zhai Rang, and his ability was indeed mediocre.

Don't talk about loyalty. They are all smart people, and most smart people are fickle.

They instantly realized that the lord they followed was wrong, but these smart people would naturally not rebel. They planned to go back and create a reason to leave without making their moral behavior look wrong.

At this moment, some stubborn soldiers had already begun to defect, and were immediately shot dead by the supervision team.

After the supervision team shot and killed some people, the intention of some soldiers to defect was temporarily suppressed.

There was a change in Yu Wenzhi's eyes when he looked at Yang Guang at this time. The soldiers outside were from his Yu Wen clan, and he knew the war situation best.

The army formation, which was about to collapse, was temporarily stabilized after the emperor said a few words.

Although the rebellious intentions of those rebel soldiers were suppressed, these soldiers began to slack off in the battle.

The guard army led by Yu Wenzhi originally had less than 50,000 people left, and they could be dealt with by the rebels' additional efforts.

But these soldiers began to act out and were unwilling to fight to the death.

Wang Ming naturally would not give up and began to analyze for these soldiers:

You are not afraid of bloodshed and death, and the rebel king can eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but you can only eat moldy wheat.

You fought to the death to win the battle, and the rebel king could sleep with gold and silver at night, but you were abandoned because of your injuries in the battle;

You all died on the battlefield for him, while the rebel king changed his brides every night and lived a carefree life, but you have no one to take care of your old mothers at home.

Do you think it's fair?
does it worth?
Are you willing?
Why should they use your lives to pave the way for their kingdom and hegemony?
Why should their ambitions and desires be fulfilled at the cost of your suffering?
Why is it that their beauties are pregnant with grooms every night, but you don’t even have a wife and want to die on the battlefield without any descendants?”

Now the attacking troops outside have all stopped fighting, either because they don't want to fight anymore or because their teammates don't fight anymore.

Wang Ming's words clearly pointed out the contradiction between them.

Regardless of whether these rebel soldiers were forced to come or not, they basically still hated Yang Guang.

At this time, Wang Ming shifted the conflict to between them and the anti-Wang group.

At the same time, it ignited the desire of these soldiers.

Everyone has desires and selfishness, and no one can really make selfless contributions all the time.

This war was not what they wanted in the first place, but they were dragged into it.

I work hard for them every day, but in the end I only get a little.

People should not compare themselves. Once you compare, you will feel psychologically unbalanced.

If you are mentally unbalanced, you will have resentment.

If you have resentment, you will not be happy.

If you are unhappy, just be passive and lazy.

Some people in the rear of the army had already dropped their weapons and ran away, while others were cowering and moving backwards in the crowd.

Dugu Fan couldn't help but think to himself as he looked at the young officer: "It seems that I still underestimated this tyrant. He is not that simple."

Wang Ming continued to analyze: "Even if you win this battle, you will not get peace and happiness, but the next war, the war between the eighteen rebel kings for the throne.

Do you have the confidence to survive the eighteen wars? Rather than staying in the hands of these rebel kings and waiting to die, why not give it a try now? With so many people running with you, you have a better chance. "

When Song Zhi heard this, his expression changed from indifference at first to seriousness.

At this time, some people had already blatantly defected, and the supervision team could hardly keep up with the speed of killing the deserters.

Wang Ming listened to the noise outside and felt that the time was right. He immediately used the hypnotic method extracted from Huang Lao Xie's "Song of the Rising Tide in the Blue Sea" and said:
"Escape! Escape! Escape! Escape from this dangerous battlefield,

Escape from this battlefield that has nothing to do with you.

Escape back to your homeland.

In your hometown, there are your parents who miss you every day, your wives who shed tears all day long, and your newborn children.

Let's go back!"

The 800,000 troops fought during this period and suffered heavy losses.

After killing more than 200,000 guards, only about 400,000 of them were left.

Among these more than 400,000 troops, those with weak internal strength, weak minds, and those who already had thoughts of defecting were instantly hypnotized by Wang Ming.

"Clang!!!"

"Clang!!"

The weapon in his hand slipped from his hand and he wanted to run back in a daze.

suddenly!

Among the rebel kings there was a group of highly skilled martial artists who used their martial arts to shout loudly, "Don't listen to the instigation of that tyrant. He is lying to you because he is at the end of his rope. Success and wealth are just around the corner. Kill him!!!"

These people's words broke the hypnotic effect of Wang Ming.

But what Wang Ming said was true, and most of these soldiers didn't want to fight anymore.

Deep down, I still feel that the emperor is right. Wealth and glory have nothing to do with them.

hit what?
Are you going to fight for your life?

Wang Ming was very unhappy because his brainwashing process was interrupted, but he suppressed his emotions.

He suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahahahaha!"

The laughter was heroic, confident and unrestrained.

This laughter made everyone feel a little unconfident and confused.

Wang Ming stopped laughing, and his tone changed from being gentle and earnest to being very domineering and majestic.

"The end of the road? What a joke!

You don’t think that King Yang Lin is going to leave just like that, do you?

My dragon boat has never left Siming Mountain. Do you really think there is no way to leave?
I am only using myself as bait to catch all of you traitors in one fell swoop.

I have already issued an order for all the troops in the world to come to the king. At this moment, my million-strong army is gathering outside Siming Mountain, forming a dragnet."

As soon as these words were spoken, fear was immediately felt in the hearts of all the soldiers, and the morale of the army, which had just been suppressed, became chaotic again.

The previous words were still persuasive, but this time they were directly threatening them.

It was a blatant threat, and some of the rebels were still taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Wang Ming paused and continued, "I advise you to flee the battlefield, not because I am afraid of you, but because this world belongs to me, and the people of this world also belong to me. If too many of you die, I will be the one who suffers in the end."

The ministers inside the dragon boat had extremely strange expressions on their faces. Others might not know, but how could they not know?
There are reinforcements, but they will not arrive for at least a day, by which time the rebels will have already invaded.

Everyone thinks that Emperor Yang Guang is really cunning!
Wang Ming finally said, "Opportunities are rare and will never come back. I am serious. Those who leave now, except Zhu Can, will have their past crimes pardoned. Those who do not leave will have their entire clans executed without mercy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In the end, there was no mercy in the killing, and everyone who heard it was shocked and chilled.

Extremely cold.

It seemed as if a sea of ​​blood and corpses appeared before one's eyes, making one feel a bone-chilling chill.

Wang Ming was not a person who liked to kill people, but his hands were stained with blood. In the battle outside Xiangyang City, he killed countless people.

It was a complete mess outside.

Since some members of the supervisory team had fled, they were naturally unable to suppress the mutiny among their lower-ranking soldiers.

At this moment, the people in the hall could no longer suppress their curiosity.

They came to the window of the dragon boat and looked outside.

The scene was very lively, with hundreds of thousands of troops in chaos.

Many ministers were filled with joy. Even if Yu Wenzhi and his men were brought aboard by the eighteen rebel forces, they were still able to escape.

But they might die here.

The emperor actually used his mouth to make the enemy's civil strife collapse on its own, thus saving them from being caught and killed by the eighteen rebel kings. How could they not be happy?

But some people are really unhappy.

Not only unhappy!
The mood was even more heavy than before as the rebels could kill them on board at any time.

This person is Li Shimin.

Judging from what happened just now, Emperor Yang Guang is not confused yet.

Wouldn’t this reduce the success rate of his rebellion?

How could this make him happy?

At this time Li Shimin's face was extremely gloomy, as if everyone owed him money.

Yu Wenzhi was not much better. He usually had a gloomy face and others could not tell what he was thinking from his expression.

But the gleam in his eyes that kept flickering showed that he was in a restless mood at the moment.

Yu Wenzhi also had rebellious intentions, and it was not only him who had rebellious intentions.

Everyone in the Yuwen clan had rebellious intentions.

In their opinion, this world belongs to them.

It was Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, who stole their world.

They are just lying dormant.

Yu Wenzhi glanced at Yang Guang's figure on the high platform, trying to see something clearly from Yang Guang's face.

As for what he wanted to see, he himself didn't know.

This was just a subconscious action on his part.

In fact, he couldn't see anything.

At this time, Wang Ming was still wearing the flat crown, and the pearl curtain hanging down to his chest perfectly concealed his expression.

Song Zhi of the Song clan was also watching the situation outside at this time. He looked at the emperor who was still sitting on the high platform in surprise, and couldn't help but feel confused.

Song Zhi thought to himself, "This doesn't look like a sign of incompetence. Was his previous performance just an act?"

Dugu Ba, the leader of the Dugu clan this time, had an expression of disbelief and awe towards Yang Guang.

This idiot didn't even have time to think about anything else.
