Turbulent Times Chapter 1657: What is the use of such a poisonous oath?

Even though he has fought with Chai Shao for many years, when these murderous words came out of Chai Shao's mouth, the soldiers around him and the confidant generals still couldn't help shaking. Then I felt a chill in my heart!

But that's all, no one objected to his general's words, let alone dissuade them.

The world has been in chaos for many years now, and they have fought countless battles with Chai Shao. Apart from fighting against regular troops like the Far Eastern Army, they actually hunted down and killed rogues, and killed countless rogues.

Actually, in many cases, rogues are refugees, old people and children. Among the people who are often chased and killed, there are women holding babies, but they have also killed them, and none of them are left behind.

Now it's just killing people in Chang'an City, besides, in today's situation, it can't kill many people, only a few thousand people at most.

When an army often kills people, after they have massacred ordinary people once, they will become numb if they do similar things, not to mention that soldiers have to obey orders after all, and they know that they will not obey the general at this time Order to kill the people in front of you, what awaits them is death, no matter how much the general loves them and how much he loves soldiers like sons, at this time he will not hesitate or soften his hand.

"Command! Charge queue! Charge queue! All knives unsheathed! Forward... open the way! Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be killed without mercy."

The military order was like a mountain, and soon, Chai Shao's order was conveyed. The first-level generals shouted loudly, and the charge formation was quickly arranged.

However, after all, they are the people living in the same city and the people in the city they protect, so before charging, many soldiers still shouted loudly: "Officers and soldiers move forward, everyone quickly get out of the way, block the way!" Those who are killed without mercy."

Because there were too many soldiers shouting loudly, many people at a short distance still heard them, and in the eyes of the people these days, the army is actually no different from bandits, horse thieves, or even devils, so as long as they hear The people who were reminded by such a call sign all tried their best to dodge and retreat to the side.

Soon, there was a space in front of the cavalry like a tide.

It's just that the cavalry charge is too fast, and the cavalry needs a lot of space when they charge.

Chai Shao is obviously not satisfied with passing through this street at a slow speed.

As for the people running around on the street, there is no orderly guidance, and there are too many pedestrians. Even if many people want to dodge as much as possible, there is no room for dodge.

So, the next moment, tragedy happened.

Chai Shao was not at the forefront. There was a vanguard in front of him. In fact, it was these people who killed the common people.

The leading officer roared and rushed out no more than ten meters. Facing the crowded heads in front of him, his eyes were red and his expression was cold. There was not much hesitation on his face. He waved it out fiercely...

Chai Shao's troops were defeated by the Far Eastern Army. Even though he has worked hard for more than half a year to study the methods of training troops, there is still a big gap between his army and the Far Eastern Army. This is what Chai Shao I also know, because there are some things, no matter how hard he tries, it is difficult to obtain, and it is even more difficult to change and learn...

But this cavalry is actually armed to the teeth. When they wave their sharp sabers at the unarmed people, the ending is already doomed!

This long street, which can't be longer than Li Xu, instantly turned into a killing field for Shura!

With the charge of the cavalry, the sharp saber cut into the soft flesh and blood, miserable howls, pleadings, angry roars, desperate cries...

Soon, the shrill screams resounded through the entire long street even louder than before!

Pedestrians shouted frantically, retreated, ran, crowded, and trampled on each other. More and more screams sounded.

The cavalry galloped on their horses, trampling their flesh and blood with their iron hooves, forcibly crushing a road of flesh and blood!

Once the charging queue started, even if the cavalry in front couldn't bear it, it was already too late. Before the general gave an order to stop, they couldn't stop if they wanted to, unless they wanted to be run over to death by their companions behind.

If someone stood at a high altitude and looked down, this scene would be like a torrent of steel crashing into pieces of flesh and blood!

And the ground that was originally muddy due to the rain gradually turned into blood all over the place, as if the whole street was dyed an astonishing scarlet color, and the armor on the cavalry also turned blood red... ...

Blood dripped from the saber, and the blood flowed down the blade, and the faces of the cavalry were hung

Stained with blood, there are still pieces of flesh and blood on his body and armor, and even the horse's hooves are **** red!

The wailing and screaming were endless, and the eyes of the hundreds of cavalrymen in the front were all red, and the expressions on their faces became more and more indifferent.

When rushing through this short long street less than a mile away, these hundreds of cavalrymen were **** with their long knives, and everyone's face was full of distortion and madness! Every pair of eyes was bloodshot.

Not to mention that in the age of ice age, even in the wars of the gun era in later generations, many soldiers who have experienced the battlefield will have extremely serious psychological trauma, and they need post-war psychological treatment to relieve them.

Finally, under the tragic death threat from the cavalry charge, the crowd on the street behind tried their best to disperse. However, during the evacuation, many people fell and trampled to death, causing a serious stampede. The number of casualties was much less than that of being rushed by cavalry.

After rushing out of the long street, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the cavalry who charged at the forefront finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chai Shao turned his head and took a look. Secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Chai Shao looked at the direction of the palace from a distance, his eyes were cold, and his heart was not shaken at all. He pointed forward with a long knife in his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army continues to charge, to the palace!"

"The whole army continues to charge, rushing to the palace!"

"The whole army continues to charge, rushing to the palace!"

……

……

With a sound of "boom", the heavy door of the Tai Chi Hall in the imperial palace slowly closed, as if blocking all the wind and rain outside.

Even if there is wind and rain in summer, it will not be cold, and there are hot braziers and candles in the hall, so it is rather stuffy.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall gradually solidified and cooled down.

Li Yuan felt that the atmosphere was almost ready, so he continued to start his performance, and said lightly: "Whoever is secretly colluding with the Far Eastern Army and trying to step on two boats, this king knows it all, and you don't want to." Try to deny it in vain, let alone cry out that this king has wronged you!"

After saying these words, the entire hall fell silent, so quiet that even the sound of people's breathing could be clearly heard.

"This king also knows that for many years, powerful families have been betting everywhere! They all like to put their eggs in multiple baskets, but today is different from the past. Tonight, now, you must make a choice, otherwise People will die."

When Li Yuan said this, a clear murderous intent finally appeared on his face, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched and cold!

Suddenly, he clapped his palms lightly!

The side doors on both sides of the main hall suddenly opened, and while heavy footsteps were running quickly, two teams of Qingjia personal guards swarmed in!

The knives and axes in the hands of each personal guard gleamed coldly! !

This action immediately shocked many people in the hall!

King Tang... is this going to... go on a killing spree?

No, it is impossible for Li Yuan to start killing. He just wanted to use force to force the heads of these aristocratic families to make a choice, otherwise he would kill people.

As for the patriarchs of these aristocratic families, in the face of death, they will definitely choose to live first.

As for whether he will regret it afterwards, how Li Yuan restrains what they said today, it depends on whether Li Yuan has any special means.

However, at this time, after the two teams of green armor swordsmen rushed in, they immediately occupied the positions from the steps where Li Yuan was down to the two sides of the main hall, which seemed quite intimidating.

Dugu Changsu spoke again at this time, no matter how things like this are, one has to play the red face and the other the bad face.

"What we value the most is the blood of our ancestors. Today, in order to prevent you from going back on what you said after going out, His Royal Highness Tang has already prepared a desk table to burn incense. If you choose Wang Junlin, you can follow the As I said before, leave all the property, and the clan will leave Guanzhong on its own. If you choose to be loyal to His Royal Highness, the Patriarch must kneel down and swear by the blood of his ancestors. If he violates the oath, his clan will have no descendants."

When Dugu Changsu said this, the complexions of many patriarchs of the powerful and powerful families at the scene changed slightly, and they felt a chill in their hearts. This oath is too poisonous.

Of course, no matter how poisonous the oath is, it is useless if the person who makes the oath does not believe in such a thing.

For example, Wang Junlin would not believe in this kind of oath, but in the thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture, oaths and oaths have played a considerable role. The ancients were quite awed and humble before the oath.

For example, calendar

In history, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Chai family as the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty because of the yellow robe. >

There is a serious warning in the oath: Children and grandchildren must not break the oath, otherwise it will be ominous and will be punished by heaven. Therefore, we can see that the descendants of the Chai family always enjoyed the respect of the royal family in history.

For example, "Zuo Zhuan" records that Zheng Wugong's wife, Jiang Shi, had a difficult labor when she gave birth to Zhuanggong, so she has always disliked the eldest son, and prefers the younger son Gongshuduan. Jiang wanted to make her youngest son the monarch, but her husband, Duke Wu, disagreed.

As soon as Duke Zhuang came to the throne, Mrs. Jiang devoted herself to helping her youngest son seek fiefdoms, and finally developed into a conspiracy with Gong Shuduan to overthrow Duke Zhuang. After defeating Gong Shuduan, Duke Zhuang placed his mother in Chengying, and made a solemn oath in person: "If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will never meet again."

The ancients took oaths very seriously, how could the king of a country go back on his promises. Duke Zhuang missed his mother but didn't want to break his oath, so he asked people to build a tall earthen platform. When he missed his mother, he went up to the platform and looked towards the city. Later, people called this rammed earth platform "Wangmu Terrace".

In addition, in ancient times, people cannot stand without faith, and only by emphasizing faith can a country be established. As the example of the people, the king has a great guiding role in the social customs. If there is a little carelessness, the consequences will be immeasurable.

Therefore, even the king of a country does not dare to break his oath, for fear of affecting his own prestige, the enlightenment of the people, being ridiculed by future generations and punished by the gods.

As for the great families, they are not much worse than the kings of a country. They also value the oath very much, especially when the oath is very vicious.

Therefore, Li Yuan and Dugu Changsu made a poisonous oath to cut off their children and grandchildren through the blood of the ancestors most valued by the powerful family.

I have to say that this poisonous oath or this kind of practice is very binding on what the heads of the powerful families said today.

It's just that, standing behind Li Jiancheng, Li Jing seemed to twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

He is... laughing.

And there is ridicule.

Of course Li Jing knew that this poisonous oath had great binding force on the powerful family, but it was based on the premise that they could guarantee the existence of the powerful family.

And when the aristocratic family is already facing the catastrophe of genocide, these poisonous oaths are nothing.

So, that is to say, under certain circumstances, this kind of oath is nothing but nonsense.

After all, since ancient times, the agreement between the two countries may be torn up at any time. Even when the facebook of the United States visited China in later generations, it signed a business cooperation worth hundreds of billions of billions of dollars as the president. Let alone in ancient times.

………

Outside the gate of the imperial city, martial law has already begun on the square.

The riots and screams that appeared on that long street were not small. The news had already reached here that the imperial army in the imperial palace had closed the gate of the imperial city.

So, the square in front of the huge imperial palace was empty, while on the walls of the imperial city, there were guards loyal to Li Yuan.

At this time, three people and three riders walked slowly towards the gate of the imperial city from Suzaku Avenue.

The three knights were all wearing black coir raincoats and rain hats.

One front and two rear, the front one has a silver armor under the coir raincoat, and the two behind are dressed in black clothes with long swords hanging from their waist loops.

The three riders were not fast, and slowly crossed the square, leaving only a horseshoe mark in the rain behind them.

Because there were only three cavalry, and they didn't charge forward, although the soldiers of the forbidden army on the top of the imperial city were vigilant, they didn't feel like they were facing a big enemy.

So, until Sanqi came to the main gate of the imperial city, looking at the vigilant imperial guards above and below the city, there was no reaction from the top of the city.

"Who's here?" It wasn't until Sanqi came to the gate of the imperial city that a general on the top of the city shouted and asked.

The leading knight slowly took off the bamboo hat used to keep out the rain, revealing a youthful face with deep and sharp eyes like a knife cut.

"Second...Young Master." The general on the top of the city took a closer look and heaved a sigh of relief. Tonight, His Royal Highness Tang Wang organized a celebration banquet in the palace. This second young master is the protagonist, but for some reason, This is the time.

"He Mazi, open the door." Looking at the general at the gate of the city, Li Shimin smiled lightly. The smile on his face was bright and charming.
