Chapter 1059 War and Peace - Four Truths

"Jingshuai, what are the ones placed on the dirt platform?"

"That is the truth! The four great truths of a certain family!"

"truth!?"

"What are you doing?"

"It is used to reason with the defenders in Xijin Prefecture!"

"Reasonable? Will they listen?"

"Yes! They will definitely listen this time!"

"Can you?"

"Yes! It's time to start!"

"Boom..."

Outside the city of Xijin Prefecture, a sound of cannons that shook the mountain sounded, announcing the arrival of the hot weapons era, and also told everyone in the world that truth will eventually overcome fallacies! Just like in history, the truths of positivism and rationalism will eventually overcome fallacies that go astray, and they will destroy them!

If truth cannot overcome fallacies for the time being, it just means that more, bigger, and stronger truths are needed!

Originally, Wu Haogu was planning to demolish a section of the city wall of Xijin Mansion on the third day after arriving at Hejian Camp. But later, Brother Zhao Zhong looked at the test cannon and thought that these four cannons were a good thing to win people with virtue, so he proposed to postpone the demolition of the city so that representatives of the Yan family could be invited to watch the truth overcome the fallacy.

Because the negotiations with the Yan family were not very smooth before, the tyrants in Yan were aware that Wu Haogu was rich, so the lion spoke up and wanted to make a big fuss. Not only did he need territory, but he also needed money! The request made by each family would cost at least 20 million yuan!

Wu Haogu is not a sucker, how could he give so much?

Moreover, there is also the principle of "fighting Mien, raising Mien hatred". Once the tyrants in Yan land think that Wu Haogu's money was blown by the strong wind and could be used as they please, the Yan land will be difficult to manage in the future.

Therefore, Wu Haogu did not agree to the request of such a rich man, but chose to reason and truth!

After almost the representatives of each family in Yan arrived, Wu Haogu took them outside Yanjing City to reason behind the four forts.

Once this truth comes out, it’s like the earth is shaking!

It’s okay for Wu Haogu. Although he had never seen the real roar of cannons in later generations, he had seen many more people on the screen than this one, and he had been mentally prepared for a long time.

But the people around him, except for Brother Zhao Zhong, Murong Mu and others who had seen the fireworks two days ago, were all shocked and thought that there was a thunder. When they looked up, they saw the sky was clear!

Then, there were another loud rumbling sound!

Everyone looked at the sound and then realized that it was Wu Haogu’s “truth” roaring. The four “truths” roaring in turn, spitting out flames, all of which looked "true" enough!

"I've hit it!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Someone cheered again. It was a group of cannon casting craftsmen who followed Huang Zhisheng back from Shamen Island.

Because they did not cast the field cannons that Wu Haogu wanted, they had not received the bonus. However, Wu Haogu was reasonable and had already spoken. As long as the four "truth cannons" could demolish the walls of Yanjing City, the two craftsmen teams who cast can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan.

Moreover, they will also receive investment from Wu Haogu! The two groups of gunsmiths each receive 1 million investment and set up two gun casting bureaus, of which 50% of the shares belong to these craftsmen. In the future, the two gun casting bureaus will continue to engage in the production and design of cannons.

These craftsmen who personally participated in the research, development and production of "True Cannons" know the military value of cannons.

This is an epoch-making weapon! It will definitely have a huge market in the future, so the two artillery bureaus will also make a lot of money. As their shareholders, it will be difficult to make a fortune.

So these craftsmen (many of them graduated from Yuntai Academy) stretched their necks and looked at the city wall opposite the muzzle. Seeing several scenes of dust and gravel suddenly appearing on the city wall, they knew that the shells hit the city wall, so they all cheered.

What does it mean to hit it?

A group of Yandi earth buns had not reacted until the second round of cannon sounded and four iron balls spit out from the muzzle hit the southern wall of Yanjing City. No one could react.

"Jingshou, is this the truth made?"

Wu Haogu, who was riding on a tall Tianjin horse, burst into laughter, "That's right! This is the truth of a certain family! Only a certain family can be found in the world! Even Kaifeng Prefecture does not have such a truth! How about it? Are those guys in Yanjing City willing to listen to some of their truth?"

It turned out that Wu Haogu was not only in contact with the powerful Yan land outside Yanjing City, but also negotiating with the people inside the city. In fact, there were a group of people inside and outside the city, and Yanjing City was the biggest bargaining chip in their hands. Of course, he wanted to sell it at a good price.

If Wu Haogu is willing to give 20 million, then the Yan land tyrants in Yanjing City will launch an armed uprising and cooperate with Wu Haogu's army inside and outside to eliminate more than 10,000 Khitan wastes from Yelu Eliduo (the waste among the Khitans). If Wu Haogu refuses to pay, they will keep dragging them...

I originally thought that Wu Haogu, a rich man, had no choice but to do anything to them, and Yelu Yanxi was approaching Kaifeng Prefecture and finally had to pay for it. But they forgot that Wu Haogu was still a great scholar who was very good at convincing people with reason!

And there is a unique truth!

...

When the "truth" roared, the commander army in Xijin Prefecture City, Yelu Elido, who was left behind in Nanjing (Yelu Yanxi named Yelu Elido as the left-behind after Ma Renwang left, but Yelu Elido, who was besieged in the city, did not know about it) was listening to reports from several monks about the "day thunder incident".

The so-called thunder in the daytime incident was actually Wu Haogu's artillery being tested. The four "truth cannons" were sprayed with a few shots, which sounded like thunder. Many people in Xijin Prefecture heard it and didn't understand what was going on, so they began to have various legends.

How could the sky be hit by lightning? There must be monsters! Maybe there are "thunder demons" in the Song army camp outside the city, or it may be a monster who can release thunder!

The Xuanshuai Shuai of Song State, who led the Northern Expedition, is said to be a saint. Oh, a great scholar at the level of demons, who praised Wu Haogu as a saint were disciples of the Confucian empirical school or doctors from the doctoral group. The "Tianli Sect" that has spread on the territory of the birth of the Jurchens also praised Wu Haogu as a saint. However, in the city of Xijin Prefecture where Buddhism dominated, a group of Khitan monks would not say good things to Wu Haogu, and they all said that Wu Haogu was a demon who confuses the public...

Since it was led by a demon, it would not be surprising to be able to use demonic magic!

Yelu Eliduo was also a Buddhist disciple, so he naturally regarded Wu Haogu as a demon. So after the "Day Thunder Incident", he immediately invited monks from Yanjing City to investigate to see what kind of demonic magic it was? What kind of magic can be cracked?

But the problem is that the monks in the Liao Kingdom are actually not very high-level, and they do not understand much Buddhist philosophy. They are basically the way to "spitize" Zen Buddhism. Although they can play some "spells", they are all deceiving tricks.

Therefore, there is no way to understand the true meaning of Wu Haogu's "demonic method", otherwise they would not have called Wu Haogu a "demonic person".

Since he is a demon, of course he has to find a way to subdue the demon. But he is not knocking with a golden cudgel, but chanting scriptures. There happened to be a monk in Yanjing City, named Yelu Dapenu, whose Dharma name is Wuchen. He went to Qingtang City to study and practiced the "Curse of the Demon King of Immortality", "Curse of the Demon King" and "Curse of the Demon Silent Mantra". He also defeated the monks of the Song Dynasty many times in the debate on Taoism. He also went to Jiehe Shang City many times to find Wuhao Gu's defense, but he did not meet the master.

This time I finally had the opportunity to compete with Wu Haogu’s “truth”!

"Master Wuchen, the martial demon is now releasing the demon magic again. Please take action immediately to subdue demons and eliminate demons!"

Hearing the rumbling sounds coming continuously, Yelu Elido asked the first monk in the city, the presidency of Huayan Temple in Xijin Prefecture, Monk Wuchen, to take action without saying a word.

"Then I will go on this!" Monk Wuchen, who was born with a white and fat skin, refused and agreed to take action immediately.

He is a member of the Daliao royal family! If he had not become a monk, he would have no problem with being a prince. Even if he became a monk, he would not have been able to watch Daliao defeated by Wu Haogu, the demon and Buddha enemy.

The military situation is urgent now, so this monk who was in his forties and had a high prestige in Yanjing City did not delay, and immediately took his disciples and Yelu Eliduo to Kaiyangmen in Yanjing City.

Kaiyang Gate is one of the two city gates south of Yanjing City, and the other is Danfeng Gate leading to Yanjing Palace City. Because the wall of Danfeng Gate wants to protect the palace city, it is relatively strong and thick. Brother Zhao Zhong, who has long known the defense of Yanjing City, chose a relatively thin section of the city wall near Kaiyang Gate as the target of bombardment by the "Truth Cannon".

When Yelu Eliduo and Wuchen arrived in Kaiyang Gate, not only did the roar of the earth shaking and the mountains continue, but a large number of Jingzhou soldiers and Khitan soldiers guarding the city were rushing down from the stairs near Kaiyang Gate in panic.

Yelu Eliduo was frightened when he saw this scene. All the soldiers and generals guarding the city were running away! Could it be that the Song army had already attacked the top of the city?

What should I do?

This old Liao commander who participated in the War to Punish Mogus in his early years has long been exhausted now. Seeing that something is wrong, his face turned pale at that time, and he also held his war horses and dared not move forward.

Yuan Sui, who was born in the Anfu army in Zhenzhou, had the courage to go forward and grabbed a Han officer from Jingzhou soldiers and dragged him to Yelu Eliduo.

"Du, the commander-in-chief, the young man is not going to escape!" The Han officer also shook when he saw Yelu Elido and immediately explained, "The young man is because the city wall is about to collapse, so he took his brothers down to avoid falling to death..."

"What? What did you say? The city wall is about to collapse!?" Yelu Elido almost fell off the horse's back. "How is this possible? How can it collapse?"
