In Chaoge City, in the Taishi Mansion, all the generals and assistants gathered together.
I heard that since the grand master returned to the court, he has been in charge of all state affairs in an orderly and orderly manner. Especially when meeting the emperor, he has formulated ten strategies to govern the country, making the court clean.
At that time, there were traitors Fei Zhong and You Hun, who seduced the emperor and colluded with the harem. They also acted as close ministers of the emperor, framed Zhongliang, and formed cliques for personal gain.
After Wen Taishi conquered Beihai Pingling King and returned to the dynasty, he presented the ten policies for governing the country. Fei Zhong was there. You Hun relied on the emperor's favor to obstruct the implementation of the ten policies and wanted Wen Taishi to bribe them both.
He also accused Grand Master Wen of writing to compel the emperor, and Queen Shen Ben, and accused the emperor of being an unfaithful, unfilial, disrespectful and treacherous minister.
It turns out that Grand Master Wen is not Mei Bo. Civil servants like Bigan don't accept their tricks at all. I, Wen Zhong, an old minister of Tuogu in the Fourth Dynasty, and you, Fei Zhong, who do you think you are?
Your Majesty (Di Xin) was brought up by me, the emperor's father (Di Yi) was brought up by me, and the emperor's father's father (Tai Ding) was also brought up by me.
So the grand master beat up these two traitors in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials, and slapped Fei Zhongyou so hard that his face looked like a pig's head.
Emperor Xin did not dare to stop him. When he heard that the Grand Master was angry, he was frightened and said: "Fei Zhong and Youhun don't know how to rise or fall. They are asking for trouble..."
Emperor Xin was rejoicing in his misfortune, but was soon forced to sign ten policies by the old master with a pen. He almost took back his right to govern personally, and could only retreat to the deep palace to study reading and martial arts every day.
If you don't know the basics, you would really think that hearing that the Grand Master was writing to force the emperor to usurp the power of his ministers.
But to be honest, the power of Grand Master Wen was indeed more powerful than that of Grand Master Dong in later generations. When he returned to the court, he first punished the emperor, then belittled the queen (Daji), and replaced all the officials in the chaotic court. No one dares to say
One sentence.
Therefore, when I heard that the Grand Master was in court, he implemented policies and regulations, restrained the emperor, demolished the deer platform, belittled Su Daji, visited the sages, opened up channels, redressed grievances, raised the gentry, gathered grain and grass, and trained troops and horses.
For a time, the country that was in turmoil became somewhat buoyant in the hands of this veteran minister of the Ching Dynasty.
On this day, Wen Zhong was handling military affairs at the Taishi Mansion, and Han Rong reported to the Taishi Mansion at Sishui Pass.
The grand master opened the letter and looked at it. He slapped the case and shouted: "What did these Taoist brothers do to end up dying unexpectedly!"
Hearing that the Grand Master put down the letter, he felt very sad and said: "Although I am a very popular minister and have received the favor of the country for three dynasties, it is like Mount Tai. However, the country's affairs are so difficult that I cannot leave this place without permission. Now that I have heard of this retribution, I will be punished.
Brother Tao, it hurts my bones..."
After feeling sad for a long time, I remembered how difficult the country's affairs were and how troubled the country was. Zhang Guifang was still fighting fiercely on the front line. At a time when he was not sad, he quickly sent an order: "Send the generals a message to discuss the matter!"
The three-way drum sounded, and all the generals gathered to sing. The grand master ascended to the Yin'an Hall and told the generals about the battle situation on the front line.
The Taishi said: "The day before yesterday, I invited four Taoist friends from Kowloon Island to help Zhang Guifang attack Qiqi. Unexpectedly, three of them died. Feng Lin was killed in the battle. Now I am discussing with the generals who can help Zhang Guifang to attack Xiqi for the country?"
Before he finished speaking, a veteran general with a bright head and gray beard came out of the class and said: "I will go there eventually!"
Hearing that the Grand Master recognized Lu Xiong, the general of the Zuo Army Guards, and saw his gray beard and white hair, he couldn't help but said: "Although the old general is brave, he is already old and may not be able to succeed."
"I'm the Grand Master. Zhang Guifang is young. He only uses his troops to show off his abilities. He is a common man, so he is in danger of losing his virginity..." Lu Xiong first listed the shortcomings of the frontline generals one by one.
Lu Xiong said again: "As a general, you should first check the weather and weather, and then check the geographical advantages, know the people and people, use them to move, and use them to survive..."
When the Grand Master heard that he knew how to use troops, he thought that although he was old in the coming year, he would be experienced in using troops, so he nodded.
Lu Xiong swore and promised: "If we go here, we will definitely succeed. If we recruit one or two officers to join the army, help with food and fodder, and tally military merits, we can make a big deal!"
The Grand Master thought: "Although Lu Xiong is old, he seems to have a general's ability in military affairs and is loyal to the country. It would be a good idea to join the army at 1 or 2. It will just get those two scourges out of the court, so that I can feel free to leave the court to fight on my own later..."
He hurriedly sent an order: "Since Lu Xiong is holding a large army, Fei Zhong and You Hun are assisting the military counselors. We must mobilize the troops immediately. Don't hesitate."
Fei Zhong and You Hun were transferred to the palace by the Grand Master, and they were under their eyes, so they were also in the military meeting at this time.
Hearing this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed to him: "Your Majesty, the two of us are civil servants and are not familiar with martial arts. I am afraid that we may miss the important affairs of the country. Please choose two more talented people!"
The grand master sneered in his heart, not familiar with military affairs? When I was away from the court, you two were very proficient in posing as frontline generals, framed the princes, embezzled grain, and pointed out the country!
"Both of you are capable of adapting to changes. You are well-versed in changes in current affairs. You can serve as counselor to military aircraft and fight on the front lines. You are also serving the country. You are two virtuous people and cannot be shied away from it!" Wen Taishi said, stroking his beard.
As soon as this high hat was put on, Fei and You were in trouble, so they could only accept the promise bitterly.
Immediately after hearing that the Grand Master had toasted the three of them, he ordered 20,000 elite soldiers to march to Wenzhou Prefecture along the way. He also supplied tens of thousands of civilians to assemble an army of 50,000 for another expedition to the west.
For Wen Taishi, Lu Xiong's expedition to the west, whether successful or not, at least sent away two talented people (disaster).
Without Fei Zhong in the court and You Hun's obstruction, he could make drastic reforms so that he could stabilize the court as soon as possible, go on an expedition in person as soon as possible, put an end to the Xiqi Rebellion, and return Qingning to Haiyue.
…
Compared with Chaoge, where the Grand Master was worried about the court, Jiang Shang of Xiqi could be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and with the help of high-ranking officials, Xiqi was flourishing day by day.
But it was after the celebration banquet that day that Liu Qiao and others were discussing and chatting with Jiang Shang in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Shangdao: "The God-conferring Platform has been completed, but I haven't seen it yet. I have to choose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices."
"Master, don't worry. I have inspected every inch of earth and stone several times. It is absolutely in accordance with the regulations and there is no problem." Liu Qiao assured.
Jiang Shanghan said with a smile: "You have always been cautious, so I can rest assured when doing things, but this matter is of great importance, so we must not be careless."
At this time, a messenger came to report: "Prime Minister, fellow Taoist priests, a Taoist boy came from outside the house and claimed to be the Prime Minister's nephew."
"Oh! Invite him to come in and talk." Jiang Shang already knew from Liu Qiao that Li Xingba was on the list, and he thought it was the Taoist boy who came here to vote who killed him.
Liu Qiao, Nezha, Jin Zha and others also became energetic and looked forward to see which comrade was coming.
But he saw Shi Shiran approaching a Taoist boy. He had two solitary buns, a face like white jade, a water-resistant robe with apricot yellow ribbon, hemp shoes and Taoist shoes, and two swords slung on his left and right shoulders. When he saw Jiang Shang, he hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen you."
Uncle Master!"
Jiang Shang asked: "Please sit down quickly, Taoist boy, where are you from?"
Before the Tao boy could say anything, Nezha had already jumped up and hugged the Tao boy. Jin Zha also went up and said, "Good brothers, the three of us will meet today!"
Seeing that Jiang Shang was puzzled, Jin Zha hurriedly explained: "This is my younger brother Muzha, who studied under the master Puxian in Baihe Cave, Jiugong Mountain."
Jiang Shang exclaimed: "Well, the three brothers have all worshiped the high immortals, and now they are assisting the Ming Lord together. How wonderful."
Liu Qiao also praised: "The three brothers assisted the Ming Lord, and their brief chapters lasted for thousands of years, and they will be immortalized in the history books!"
Jiang Shang ordered: "Choose an auspicious day to go to Qishan, and all three generations of disciples will go to worship at the Conferred God Platform!"
Since then, there have been more and more experts in Xiqi, and their reputation has become stronger and stronger.
Lu Xiong received the general's order and did not dare to neglect it. He offered sacrifices to the treasure banner, killed cattle and sheep, and raised troops soon.
It was late summer and early autumn, and the heat was unbearable. All the three armies removed their armor from their carriages, and walked away sweating in their single clothes. The horses were panting, and all the infantry had difficulty walking.
After passing five passes along the way, a spy horse came to report. Lu Xiong read the letter and was shocked: "Zhang Guifang has died on the battlefield, and his head hangs at the east gate!"
My own army was going to rescue Zhang Guifang. They just left the Five Passes and arrived at Qishan. They were shocked to hear that Guifang had died in the battle and that all the soldiers and horses were wiped out on the battlefield. What should I do?
Fei Zhong and You Hun were even more frightened when they heard that Zhang Guifang was the Optimus Prime of the imperial court and could hold the Purple Golden Beam across the sea. He even died in Xiqi's battle.
With three melons, two dates, plus Ruxiong’s old arms and legs, wouldn’t it mean that I was going to Xiqi to die?
So Fei Zhong and You Hun quickly suggested: "Reporting to the old general, since Guifang is dead, our division does not need to go anymore. Let's set up camp and wait for the grand master's order!"
When Lu Xiong heard this, he pondered deeply and asked Tan Ma Dao, "Where is the place ahead? Is there any mountain water source?"
"General, in front of you is Qishan Mountain, which is high in mountains and densely forested, with rivers and streams." Tan Ma replied.
There are taboos when marching and camping. Camping in the plains is unsafe to defend. Camping in the mountains is easy to cut off the water source. Camping in dense forests is easy to be attacked by sneak attacks and fire.
Lu Xiong, who was an old man in battle formations, was very happy when he heard that Qishan Mountain is dangerous because of its proximity to the mountains, its proximity to the water, and its dense forests for cover. With these three places combined, it is not a dangerous place, but a treasured place for camping and garrisoning troops.
Then he ordered: "Go to Qishan to camp."
At the same time, he ordered Fei Zhong and You Hun to write a letter and send the news of Zhang Guifang's death to the court.
On Xiqi's side, because Prime Minister Jiang was going to offer sacrifices to the Conferred God Platform recently, Qishan Mountain was closely guarded, with both open and hidden sentries.
Na Luxiong claimed that he was an experienced soldier and had set up camp in a dense forest to hide himself. However, he did not know that Xiqi, who was disguised as a man to cut firewood and collect herbs, reported to the Prime Minister's Mansion: "Prime Minister, fellow Taoist priests, a group of troops has come to camp from Qishan!"
Jiang Shang asked: "How many people are there and what banners are there?"
"The big banner is written with the word "Lu". I don't know who took command. There are more than 3,000 flags, and I think there are 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers." Tan Ma estimated based on experience.
Liu Qiao heard this and said to Jiang Shang: "Master, do you want to kill this group of people first and then carry out the altar ceremony?"
"The person in command is Lu Xiong'er. He is an old man with few generals, so don't worry about him." Jiang Shang was an official in the court in his early years. When he heard the flag with the word "Lu", he knew it was Lu Xiong.
After pondering for a moment, he sent an order: "Wu Ji will not go to the altar. He and Nangong will order five thousand soldiers and horses to set up camp in Qishan first, blocking the key passes and intersections to prevent the imperial people from coming."
Wuji agreed and took the order to find Nangong. He ordered his troops to leave the city and set up camp in Qishan first.
Nangong Shi and Wu Ji led 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city and walked more than 70 miles to Qishan Mountain. They saw a group of people and horses in the mountain, under the banner of Tang.
Nangong Shi also camped on the opposite side. Wuji learned Jiang Shang's art of war and couldn't help but said: "My master ordered the two of us to camp here. There is no danger to rely on, no trees to cover, and we are defending out of thin air. Isn't it inconsistent with the art of war?"
"Don't worry, someone knows it well!" Nangong Shi waved his hand.
After a night passed, the next day, Liu Qiao, the three brothers Nezha, Longxuhu and others, led three thousand soldiers and horses, and followed Jiang Shang out of the city.
Hearing that Nangong was camping in the wilderness, Jiang Shang quickly ordered someone to send troops to mount the mountain.
Xinjia went to deliver the order, and Nangong Shi was shocked and said: "The heat on the top of the mountain is unbearable and the heat is unbearable. Although it is dangerous and solid, there is no water source. This..."
However, Xin Jia urged them too hard and the two of them had no choice but to mobilize their troops to the top of Qishan Mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the three armies were afraid of the heat. It was inconvenient to get water, and there was no water to make rice. All the soldiers complained.
Down below, Lu Xiong heard that Xiqi had stationed his army on the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but sneered: "Nangong followed the old military methods and camped opposite me to guard the key points. I really couldn't do anything against him for the moment."
"But I don't know who is in Xiqi and ordered him to camp on the top of the mountain. With the weather at this time, although the top of the mountain is dangerous and defendable, the heat is unbearable. In less than three days, the camp will disperse without a fight."
On the top of Qishan Mountain, under the Conferred God Stage, Liu Qiao and other three generations of disciples were present. Nangong Shi and Wu Ji led troops to join the others. A total of 8,000 soldiers and horses were camped on the top of the mountain.
In the military tent, Nangong Shi said with some confusion: "Prime Minister, in this kind of weather, if we camp on the top of the mountain, there are dangers to rely on, but it is difficult to get water. If Lu Xiong surrounds the bottom of the mountain and cuts off our water source, our army will collapse without attacking."
!”
Liu Qiao smiled and said: "General Nangong, don't worry. Although it is hot, we are still trying to mess around with things and reverse yin and yang. My master has his own clever plan. Just watch and don't be impatient."
Jiang Shang also nodded and ordered Wu Ji: "Go to the camp and build an earth platform, three feet high, built according to Liujia."
Wu Ji had learned Jiang Shang's Liu Tao's art of war, and was also familiar with Qimen Dunjia. After hearing this, he quickly led his soldiers to arrange it.
After a while, an earthen platform was built, three feet and three inches high, hexagonal in shape, each with command flags, Dharma flags, etc.
Jiang Shang asked Liu Qiao: "Are you coming or are you coming as a teacher?"
Naturally, Liu Qiao would not steal the limelight from his master in this situation, and said hurriedly: "Disciple Liujia is not good at the art, so it would be more reliable for the master to preside over the spell casting."
In fact, Liu Qiao's general Liujia Qimen has been fully exposed. It is easy to change the celestial phenomena within a hundred miles, open a altar to call for wind and rain, and spread the beans to form an army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The generals below see his master and apprentice fighting, and they don’t know what they mean. Only Jin Zha, Nezha and others can make some guesses.
Jiang Shang didn't say much. At this time, the Xiqi grain officer was able to send many large cars and moved them into the camp.
When the generals took a look, they were dumbfounded. It turned out that it was filled with thick winter clothes and military uniforms.
All the generals laughed and said: "In this weather, if we wear this to fight, wouldn't it be too hot to death?"
Jiang Shang didn't say much, he just ordered the soldiers to be distributed to each battalion and all the soldiers must wear thick winter clothes.
That night, with the night wind howling, Liu Qiao followed Jiang Shang to the earth platform to help his master practice the method.
The master and the disciple went to Kunlun to bow down, each wearing robes. Nezha, Wuji, Jinzha, Muzha and others also came to watch out of curiosity.
This Qimen Dunjia technique is a scattered method taught by Yuanshi Tianzun. It was summarized and summarized by Jiang Shang and first passed down to Liu Qiao, so it is the only one in the interpretation of the teaching.
Jiang Shang wears his hair loose, dances with a sword, fights on foot, and performs the unique skills of Liujia.
Liu Qiao recited the mantra, burned the talisman, and recited the spiritual chapter, used his magic power, and drank three mouths of the Beixun Talisman Water, saying: "Urgent as a rule!"
Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and wandering ghosts and gods came together, roaring through the woods, blowing only dust and fog.
"The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing!" Nezha and others said in surprise.
Before this was over, Jiang Shang walked up to Xing Gang with his sword and shouted: "Ice is coming!"
Liu Qiao also made a gesture and shouted: "The wind is coming!"
Just listen to the whirling and whizzing sound, like the sky is urging the earth to collapse, and the sea and mountains are boiling.
Thousands of miles away, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the flags and banners rang like bronze drums, and the generals could hardly keep their eyes open. The golden wind swept away without a trace for a while, and the three armies were just betting on winning or losing.
Lu Xiong at the foot of the mountain didn't know why the weather suddenly changed, but when he saw the wind and cool weather, he couldn't help but said with joy: "If I heard that the Grand Master ordered the troops to go out, the weather would be perfect for fighting."
Fei Zhong and You Hun also said: "The heavenly soldiers are coming, bringing great blessings to the sky, so there is a cool breeze to help."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the wind got stronger and stronger, blowing up tens of thousands of feet of yellow sand, and a black mist flew from the sky, with smoke and dust billowing up.
There was also a strange chill in the wind, which made people shiver.
The wind blew like this for an hour or two, and the soldiers in Chengtang could no longer bear the cold. They all sighed: "This is because the weather is not right, the Yin Shang Dynasty has lost its destiny, and the country is ominous, so there is such a vision."
He also shouted loudly and bombarded the camp: "It's so cold. The imperial court has sent us to fight. We are still wearing single clothes and iron armor. How can we withstand the freezing cold?"
While the soldiers and horses in Chengtang were complaining, heavy snow fell from the sky again. Once the snow fell, it spread continuously, and soon the whole mountain was dyed white.
Lu Xiong then felt that something was wrong and said to Fei Zhong and Youhun: "Such heavy snowfall in the autumn of July is rare in the world. Our army is in danger!"
Fei Zhong and You Hun were both extremely smart people. How could they spend their whole day focusing on pleasing the emperor and fighting for power and profit? Seeing this situation, they could only lament and stamp their feet, unable to do anything.
