Chapter 2795 The significance of the existence of the Hundreds of Agreements

Chapter 2791: The significance of the existence of the Hundreds of Agreements

No one would have thought that Yu Hualong would risk his life to save Yuan Jiuling when he was entangled by Xu Chu, and his act of sacrificing his life also gave Yuan Jiuling a chance to escape.

Although Yuan Jiuling got rid of the blockade of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, it was obviously not that easy to get rid of the two men's pursuit. After all, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's reaction speed was also very fast.

Seeing that Lu Bu was injured, Zhao Yun realized that Yuan Jiuling was about to run away, and immediately mobilized his horses to pursue him with all his strength. Although he could not catch up immediately, he was only four or five horse positions behind, and the distance was not too far.

 “A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix.”

After Zhao Yun let out a roar, he waved the spear in his hand and instantly shot out a phoenix, heading straight for Yuan Jiuling not far ahead.

In a hurry, Zhao Yun couldn't use the strongest white dragon to transform into a dragon, so he could only use the faster Bainiaochaophoenix to fight against the enemy, hoping to use this to stop Yuan Jiuling.

At the same time, Lu Bu also endured the pain, and after pulling out the spear that pierced his shoulder, he immediately urged Red Rabbit to pursue him in the early stage. At the same time, he hung the Shengui Square Heavenly Halberd back on his horse and picked up the Dragon Tongue Bow.

Lu Bu subconsciously drew an arrow, but as soon as he drew the bow, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his shoulder. The pain made him unconsciously unstring the bow, and the arrow naturally missed.

Logically speaking, a normal gunshot wound would not cause Lu Bu so much pain, but there were barbs on Yu Hualong's tiger-headed flying dragon gun. When it was pulled out, it took away a large amount of flesh and blood, further increasing the area of ​​​​Lü Bu's wound. That's why it happened. Lu Bu was so hurt that he couldn't help but show his teeth.

Although the injury on his shoulder hurt, Lu Bu drew his arrow again and fired an arrow despite the pain.

At this time, Yuan Jiuling was running for his life without looking back, but with his grandmaster-level perception ability, he knew what was going on behind him even without looking.

Yuan Jiuling clenched the halberd with both hands, turned around and struck with all his strength, directly shattering the Phoenix Qi Jin, and then narrowly avoided Lu Bu's arrow.

Originally, Yuan Jiuling was only four or five horses behind Zhao Yun, but after he shattered the Phoenix Qi Jin, he pushed hard and made his mount go faster, suddenly widening the distance to eight or nine. Horse position.

Yuan Jiuling was not happy at all about this, because Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's attacks continued, and this time Lu Bu shot his mount, so he had to catch Lu Bu's bow and arrow.

　　nail…

The halberds and arrows collided, and Yuan Jiulin's expression changed. It was not that the power of the arrow was so powerful that he could not withstand it. After all, the arrows shot by Lu Bu after being injured were also much weaker. However, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu kept hitting him. How could Yuan Jiuling resist this?

"ah…"

Yuan Jiuling shouted loudly and knocked the arrow away with all his strength, but Zhao Yun's long-range attacks followed one after another.

 Fortunately, Lu Bu was injured and could not continue to carry out long-range attacks regardless of losses like Zhao Yun. Otherwise, even if Yuan Jiuling was a great master and could recover his power by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, he still would not be able to withstand such frequent consumption.

On the city tower, seeing Yuan Jiuling get rid of Lu Zhao's blockade, Cao Bin was secretly relieved, and then quickly ordered the entire army to retreat, in order to confuse the situation on the battlefield and help Yuan Jiuling escape the pursuit.

As for Yu Hualong, who risked his life to rescue Yuan Jiuling, Cao Bin felt sorry for him, but it was his own choice.

On the other side, the ambushes of the great masters saw that the battlefield was getting more and more chaotic, and that Yuan Jiuling was also trying to escape. Some of them became a little anxious.

“What’s the relationship between Yuan Jiuling and Yu Hualong? Is it worth Yu Hualong risking his life to save Yuan Jiuling?”

Fuxi said with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know the relationship between the two, but someone present knew about it. .

“Yu Hualong’s fifth son is Yuan Jiuling’s disciple, and all five of Yu Hualong’s sons died in the previous war.”

At this point, Confucius hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Perhaps Yu Hualong knew that he could not avenge his son's murder on his own, so he put all his hopes of revenge on Yuan Jiuling, so he risked his life to save Yuan Jiuling. Jiuling's."

The Grand Master, who did not understand the situation, learned that all five sons of Yu Hualong had died in the battle, but he understood why Yu Hualong did this. After all, the blood feud between the five sons could no longer be resolved by reason and morality.

Yu Hualong knew that he could not get revenge, but he could not let go of his hatred, so he sacrificed his life to save Yuan Jiuling and pinned his hope of revenge on him.

This is Yu Hualong's way of revenge. Although it may not succeed, at least there is hope, and he really has no hope at all on his own.

"Look, Cao Wei has issued a retreat order. Now the situation on the battlefield is even more chaotic. Maybe Yuan Jiuling can escape." Jin Ling frowned.

"It seems that Lu Bu and Zhao Yun alone cannot completely push Yuan Jiuling to a dead end."

After Dugu Qiubai glanced at Ying Xuanyi, who had a frosty face, he tentatively asked everyone: "How about we take action directly?"

If the twenty-four great masters took action directly, Yuan Jiuling would definitely die. However, after Dugu Qiubei said this, Taiyi, Qingxu, Zou Yan, Nanhua and other people joined Da Qin, but they were not within the constitution of Da Qin. The great masters all changed their expressions.

Among the twenty-four great masters present, the only ones who belong to the Great Qin system are: Ying Xuanyi, Yun Xiao, Jin Ling, Wudang, Gui Ling, Ah Qing, Qin Xiyan, Dugu Qiubei, Huang Shang, and Bodhidharma. Twelve people including Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

The other twelve great masters, Zhang Sanfeng, Ge Hong, Qingxu, Taiyi, Daoxing, Fuxi, Zou Yan, Nanhua, Abe Seimei, Kongqiu, Li Changsheng, and Tong Yuan, all have extremely high autonomy and have a cooperative relationship with Daqin .

Although they are nominally in the Enshrining Hall and receive salaries from it (basically no one receives it), in fact they are still outside staff outside the Da Qin system and are not under the direct jurisdiction of Da Qin.

The reason why they personally help Da Qin is because the school or sect they belong to has interests tied to Da Qin. Both parties have a relationship of prosperity and loss, but it does not mean that they support all decisions of Da Qin.

 For example: tear up the agreement among hundreds of companies;

 Hundred Schools Agreement was negotiated and signed by hundreds of schools of thought. The original intention of signing it was to restrain the great masters and prevent them from intervening in the secular world by using their own force.

It is precisely because the original intention of the Hundred Schools Agreement is good and it is indeed beneficial to all the major princes and the hundreds of schools of thought, that it is unanimously recognized by the hundreds of schools of thought and all the major princes.

But as Great Qin continues to grow, more and more forces are siding with Great Qin, and more and more masters can be mobilized by Great Qin. The Hundred Families Agreement has become a major limitation for Great Qin.

 After all, Great Qin is the force with the largest number of Grand Masters, but some of the Grand Masters are restricted by the Hundred Families Agreement and cannot take action against the hostile forces of Great Qin, which will naturally hinder the progress of Great Qin's unification of the world.

Since the Hundred Factions Agreement restricted Great Qin, why didn’t Ying Hao tear up the Hundred Factions Agreement? The reason is very simple. Many of the great masters of the Great Qin camp are supporters of the Hundred Schools Agreement. Forcibly tearing it up will alienate these people.

 Few people who have reached the level of a great master are willing to be restrained.

 But they are too destructive. Even if they are not illegal, their existence is a threat to the country.

 The existence of the Hundreds' Agreement, although it is a constraint for these great masters, it also provides a level of connection between them and the country.

As long as they abide by the Hundred Families Agreement, the country will not regard them as a direct threat, which is a kind of protection for many great masters.

  But if the Agreement of Hundreds of Families no longer exists, then it is the country that restrains them. And after the country's power continues to expand through annexation wars, will it regard them as a threat?

Will you enslave them and send them to perform various tasks?

 These are all uncertain things.

The great masters voluntarily accepted the constraints of the Baijia Agreement, but they were not necessarily willing to accept the constraints of Da Qin. The reason was very simple. The nature of the two was different.

Although the Baijia Agreement also restricts their freedom, it is a restriction imposed by self-morality and is controllable.

 The constraints given to them by Da Qin were the product of power and were uncontrollable.

Each Grand Master is an independent individual. They are not machines. They also have their own selfish motives and emotions, naturally.

 No great master is willing to devote his whole life to the country, but the country’s oppression of individuals will never end.

It is precisely because of this that so many people among the great masters who sided with Da Qin supported the Hundred Schools Agreement, which was essentially about safeguarding their own freedom.

This is also the main reason why Ying Hao can obviously ignore the Baijia Agreement but still abide by its agreement. It is also the real significance of the existence of the Baijia Agreement to this day.

Therefore, when Dugu Qiufei proposed to take action directly, the great masters who supported the Hundred Schools Agreement changed their faces. They were afraid that Great Qin would forcibly tear up the Hundred Schools Agreement and completely embark on the path of a domineering military state.

If this is true, after the Qin Dynasty unifies the world, the lives of ordinary people may become better, but the lives of these people may not be very good.

The great masters who supported the Baijia Agreement looked at each other, and then Zou Yan stood up and said: "According to my humble opinion, it is better to wait and see what happens. Yuan Jiuling has not yet burned his internal energy, and if we take action, it will be terrible. It's a violation of the Baijia Agreement, and His Majesty never said that he would tear up the Baijia Agreement."

"That's right. Moreover, although Yuan Jiuling has escaped the blockade, he may not be able to escape the pursuit of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun." Ge Hong agreed.

 “That’s right, that’s right…”

 Qingxu, Taiyi, Dao Xing, Li Changsheng and others all agreed with Tao.

When Zhang Sanfeng, Fu Xi, Kong Qiu, and Tong Yuan saw this, they did not agree with it, but it was not easy to refute it. After all, the other party was one of their own, and there was indeed nothing wrong with what they said.

Just looking at everyone's reactions, it is not difficult to see that there are actually different factions among the other twelve great masters.

 Zhang Sanfeng, Fu Xi, Kong Qiu, and Tong Yuan, the four people who have the closest relationship with Da Qin, obviously support the tearing up of the Hundred Families Agreement and hope that Da Qin can complete the unification as quickly as possible and end the war.

 Taiyi, Ge Hong, Qingxu, Daoxing, Zou Yan, and Nanhua, although they also sided with Da Qin, they did not want to tear up the agreement between the hundreds of families.

Li Changsheng and Abe Seimei, one does not belong to the Bai Family, and the other belongs to the Yin Yang Family, but is a foreigner who surrendered, so they are both neutral factions and do not want to or will express any opinions.

 Dugu Qiubai obviously didn't expect that everyone would react in such a big way because he was just doing a preliminary test.

Six of the twelve great masters alone are clearly opposed to it. How many of the forces behind them support the Hundred Schools Agreement?

In addition, how many of the great masters in the Da Qin system support the Hundred Schools Agreement?

Even if they are loyal to Great Qin, they will definitely have their own selfish motives. With these Grand Masters outside the Great Qin system charging into battle, the Grand Masters within the Great Qin system do not need to express their opinions for the time being, but if Great Qin insists on tearing up the Hundred Families Agreement, will they? What about objections?

As soon as he thought of this, Dugu Qiubei suddenly felt his head was as big as a fight. He sighed secretly in his heart: "Your Majesty is right, the Baijia Agreement still has its value, and it should not be terminated at this time."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Ying Xuanyi stood up and scolded Dugu Qiubai: "Commander Dugu, you are an old man from Heibingtai. You should know what to say and what not to say. Your Your words and actions represent more than just yourself.

Your Majesty’s order to us is that we can only kill Yuan Jiuling after Yuan Jiuling burns his internal energy. As long as Yuan Jiuling does not burn his internal energy, we cannot take action. "

“I made a mistake.”

Dugu Qiubei decisively bowed his head and admitted his mistake, while Ying Xuanyi also quickly comforted everyone.

　　The two of them played a good role and a bad role, and resolved the crisis invisibly, but at this time, changes occurred on the battlefield.

[Ding dong, Yu Hualong died in battle, Yuan Jiuling's skill 'Beast God' has the effect of 40,000 beasts' shelter activated. When the beast **** encounters a crisis, the opponent will risk his life to save him. If his teammates die in battle, his own force +1; (Note: This The effect can only be activated once per battle;)

 Current: Yuan Jiuling’s strength has increased to 138;】

While a group of great masters were debating whether to take action directly, Yu Hualong, whose internal organs were shattered by Xu Chu's hammer, was seriously injured and died.

Although Yu Hualong died, he brought 1 point of increase in force to Yuan Jiuling, which greatly relieved Yuan Jiuling's pressure from being chased by Lu Zhao.

Corrected an error in the first two chapters. The three gods of war who hold the battle for Lu and Zhao are Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu, and there is no Dian Wei;

The reason why these two chapters were not updated is because the author went to Beijing again.

My mother's illness has improved a lot. She couldn't stay at home and wanted to go back to Beijing. My father was worried about her coming back alone, so I asked for leave to see her off and help her arrange her follow-up treatment. I just took the high-speed rail back last night.
