The Chengtang soldiers and horses at the bottom of the mountain were suffering from the cold, but the Qi army soldiers and horses on the top of the mountain all had thick clothes and even charcoal sent by Xiqi Xinwen to make a fire.

It had been snowing heavily for several days, but Xiqi's troops and horses were well prepared and no one was injured or killed by the cold.

Jiang Shang asked Wu Jidao: "How deep is the snow?"

Wu Ji went out to explore the camp and came back and reported: "Master, there are two to three feet of snow on the top of the mountain. The snow has been blown down by the wind at the bottom of the mountain, and the snow is five or six feet deep."

Jiang Shang thought it was almost done and climbed back to the platform. This time Liu Qiao was not needed. He was doing the sword dance alone and chanting words.

After a while, the clouds dispersed in the sky, revealing a red sun in the sky, like a fire umbrella, and the scorching sun returned to its original state.

After being exposed to the sun for an hour or two, the snow on the mountains and below turned into slush.

Jiang Shang still felt that it was not safe, so he sent out the Yuxu Talisman again, and borrowed the power of Yuanshi Tianzun to blow up a strong wind again, and in a moment, Qishan Mountain was frozen into a vast ocean like a glacier.

Liu Qiao looked down the mountain and saw that the flagpole in Chengtang Camp was crooked. It was silent and there was no sign of people. He said, "Master, this is enough."

Jiang Shang glanced down the mountain and ordered Wu Ji. Nangong Shi said: "Take twenty or thirty swordsmen and axemen, go down the mountain and capture the enemy general."

The second general went down the mountain and entered the Chengtang Camp. As expected, there were stiff corpses everywhere. Some were silent, and some were still breathing, but they were too cold to move.

Only the center of the army was large and there were traces of charcoal. Lu Xiong, Fei Zhong, and You Hun were not dead, but just dying.

Then they captured all three of them alive, went up the mountain, reported them to the camp gate, and pushed them into the tent.

Lu Xiong barely stood up, You Zi refused to accept it, Fei and You both knelt down and bowed their heads.

Jiang Shang said with a smile: "Lu Xiong, you must be aware of current affairs. Today I am happy to return to Qi. You are going against heaven by raising an army, so I don't need to attack. Your camp will collapse. Today, heaven is helping Xiqi. You are captured now, why don't you return?"

What can you say?"

Lu Xiong scolded: "Jiang Shang, you used to live in Shang's salary, but you turned your back on the Lord and sought glory, which is rebellion. Although I am defeated now, it is all the magic performed by you, a group of sorcerers and monsters, who faked the celestial phenomena. Today,

It’s just death, so why say more!”

Seeing that he was unwilling to surrender, Jiang Shang waved his hand and said: "If you refuse to surrender, Wu Ji will behead these three people."

"I am willing to surrender!" Fei Zhong said.

You Hun also hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I would also like to return to Qi and hope that Prime Minister Jiang will spare his life!"

Jiang Shang smiled and said: "You two are traitors and sycophants. It's time to die today to offer sacrifices to the gods."

Without further ado, Buji led the men and dragged the three of them out of the tent.

After a while, the heads of two traitors, Lu Xiong, Fei Zhong and You Hun, were sacrificed under the altar.

The three souls floated directly to the God Conferment Platform. Liu Qiao described it and obtained three more gods.

I sighed in my heart: "In this world, Lu Xiong is loyal and brave. It is not surprising that he is on the list. Fei Zhong, who caused trouble in the court, is also on the list. It seems that as long as he defeats Cheng Tang, it is all merit..."

Among these three body gods, Fei Zhong and You Hun are only transformed into small orifices, and they seem to have no Tao skills. Such small gods must have several types of combinations to have one Tao skill.

On the other hand, Na Luxiong should be transformed into the Shenshu orifice, which really surprised Liu Qiao. The kidney governs water, and Shenshu is the first orifice of the kidney meridian and is in charge of almost all water movements in the body.

In the Shenshu orifice, there is a sacred figure with an indigo face and a beard and blue hair. He is holding an alms bowl and has his eyes closed as if he is sleeping. During his breathing, the water vapor all over his body surges, as if he is swallowing up the immeasurable water vapor from heaven and earth.

He secretly said with joy: "Look at the water in that alms bowl. Is it a method of sacrificing a magical weapon or a method of sacrificing true water?"

The more Liu Qiao thought about it, the more surprised he became. Now he praised Lu Xiong's loyalty and bravery in the "Picture of Immortal Industry" without mentioning it in a close-up.

Here Jiang Shang ordered people to invite King Wu to come over.

In the future, after the gods are enthroned and enthroned, the gods will be decreed by the human dynasty as the righteous gods to protect the country, so King Wu is invited to come and witness.

Jiang Shangzi first went to the earth platform to disperse the magic. After a while, the wind and snow melted away.

There were 50,000 soldiers and horses in a soup at the foot of the mountain. Two to three thousand froze to death on the spot, and the rest had to flee back to the fifth pass.

In the morning of the next day, King Wu drove to Qishan and saw the heads of Lu Xiong and three others. He offered sacrifices to the orthodox and sacred Qishan, so there is no need to say more.

Let's talk about those Lu Xiong's remnant soldiers who fled, and some passed the fifth pass. Han Rong at Sishui Pass was the first to know the news, and he quickly sent a letter to the Taishi Mansion.

I heard that the Grand Master was reading various military reports in the palace, and he was very happy when he read Deng Jiugong's report: "The rebel army of Nan Bohou has been defeated."

Suddenly I saw another report, it was Han Rong who reported to Lu Xiong at Sishui Pass that the three of them were defeated and died.

Wen Taishi had expected this, but after reading the military report, he still couldn't help but pause and said: "Unexpectedly, Xiqi is so vicious. He has defeated Zhang Guifang, Lu Xiong and three others, and his head was killed in Qishan."

"Alas, I want to raise troops to fight personally, but there are still two places in the southeast. Jiang Wenhuan and E Shun are rebelling, and the war is endless. How can I escape." Grand Master Wen sighed.

Ji Li, a disciple on the side, said: "Teacher, the situation in Xiqi is very difficult to control now. There are so many demonic parties from the left and right, and even the Four Saints of Kowloon Island cannot win. It is no longer possible for ordinary soldiers and horses to equalize."

Wen Taishi said: "Yes, I am not afraid that Jiang Shang's soldiers are fierce and resourceful, but I am afraid that his subordinates Liu Qiao, Nezha and other evil gangs will practice evil arts, so it will be difficult to defeat them even with a few soldiers."

After several battles, the two sides gradually got some news, and the reputations of Liu Qiao, Nezha and others were spread to the world.

However, in the imperial court, they are all "monsters of the left" by name.

Ji Li said: "For the current plan, only the four generals of the Jiamengguan Demon Family have extraordinary abilities and can be defeated by those who are skilled in Taoism."

After hearing this, the Grand Master thought of the skills of these four people and said happily: "These four people have great magical powers. Without them, Xiqi cannot be defeated."

So another document was sent to Jiameng Pass, ordering four generals to conquer Xiqi.

…

In the early autumn of the 21st year of Emperor Xin's reign, the imperial court sent out another large army. The four generals of Jiameng Pass recruited 100,000 elite troops, and Hu Sheng and Hu Lei guarded the pass. The four generals led their own troops to conquer Xiqi.

The soldiers and horses marched in a hurry, and within a few days, they crossed the Yellow River and Jinji Ridge and arrived at the foot of Xiqi City. The three armies camped at the east gate of Xiqi.

Here in Xiqi, ever since Xiqi was frozen and sacrificed at the Conferred God Platform, soldiers and horses have been training all day long, and the military has become stronger day by day. Now there are 70,000 to 80,000 elite soldiers.

A scout had already reported the news of the imperial troops to Jiang Shang, so all the generals gathered at the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss military affairs.

Huang Feihu said: "The four generals of the Jiamengguan Demon Family are four brothers. They all have secret teachings from strangers, so they are very difficult to defeat!"

He had been an official in Chaoge for a long time and was familiar with the details of some generals. Moreover, the four generals of the Demon Family were once his subordinates and they conquered Beihai together.

So Huang Feihu knew that they were powerful, so he briefly explained to everyone the basics of the four generals, their Taoist skills, etc.

While everyone was discussing, someone came from outside to report: "The four generals of the Demon Family invite you to fight!"

Jiang Shang was somewhat hesitant because Huang Feihu said that the four generals were extremely dangerous.

Nezha, Jin Zha, and Muzha said: "Uncle Master, is it possible that according to what King Wucheng said, the four generals of the Demon Family each have powerful magical powers, so we won't fight?"

Jiang Shang looked at Liu Qiao, who had closed his eyes and said nothing, and said, "My disciple Yushu, what do you think?"

Liu Qiao was stunned. In fact, he had been sensing his body and mind, and he didn't pay attention to what everyone said. What was his opinion?

At this time, his name was called, and seeing that everyone was looking over, Liu Qiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The good fortune belongs to King Wu, and the will of God belongs to Xiqi. As long as we go to war, we will be invincible!"

Jiang Shang nodded and gave the order: "Put up five teams and go out of the city to fight!"

All the generals received the order and marched out of the city. Jiang Shang was the leader, followed by Liu Qiao, Nezha, Jin Zha, Muzha, Longxuhu and others.

In front of the formation, I saw that the imperial army was extremely powerful, and there were four strangers in front of the formation.

The first one has a face like a living crab, a purple face and a long beard. He holds a sword in a box and a steel spear. He walks without riding. He is Mo Liqing, the leader of the four generals.

There are three people on his side, their faces are red, blue and white, they must be like steel needles, or they are holding an umbrella, carrying a pipa on their back, or hanging a leather bag at their waist.

Each of these three men also held a spear or a whip, and they all fought on foot rather than on horseback.

Liu Qiao and others had Huang Feihu explain the identification, and they learned that the red-faced one holding an umbrella and holding a halberd was called Mo Lihong.

The one with a blue face, a lute on his back and a spear is called the Demon Sea.

Those who use double whips and hang a skin bag from their waists are said to be magic rituals and longevity.

When Mo Liqing saw Xiqi and his group coming out, he shouted: "Jiang Shang, you didn't defend your homeland. You killed the ministers and ordered Xiqi to fight against the imperial court. Now that our army has arrived, you still haven't given your head. A little later, your body turned into

"Powder."

Jiang Shang said with a smile: "We who abide by the law and do justice to justice, you want to impose a crime, why bother without saying anything? How can I, the king and his ministers, be willing to surrender?"

"If you don't subdue the law, you are asking for the destruction of your family!" Mo Liqing shouted loudly, and without any nonsense, he came to take Jiang Shang with his sword.

Jiang Shang waved his command flag, and Nangong Shi rode his horse, raised his gun, shouted and came out to resist the demon Li Qing.

Mo Li Hong stepped forward with a painted halberd, but Xin Jia was there to stop him. Mo Li Hai was dancing with a gun, but Nezha was there to stop him.

Wuji also rushed out of the formation, but faced Mo Lishou.

Liu Qiao did not move, but just sat on his horse and watched the battle, but he was quite cautious in his heart. These four generals each had their own special skills. If they didn't look for clues and rushed out, they would be overturned.

The most intense fight was between Nezha and Mo Lihai. The two of them went up to the sky and into the earth, flying sand and rocks, with guns mounted and blocked, and they came and went with a roar.

Seeing the stalemate, Nezha recited a curse, secretly took the Qiankun Circle from his bag and went to fight the magic gift sea.

When Mo Lihong saw it, he sneered "Haha", recited a spell, and opened a Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella in his arms.

Suddenly, the wind swept the fields, dark clouds spread across the sky, and it was dark for thousands of miles. It was difficult to distinguish east, west, north, and south. When the umbrella turned, the light shone brightly, and the universe was stirred.

Nezha's circle of heaven and earth could not fly out more than a few feet before it was closed and directly stored in its umbrella.

Jin Zha, who was watching the battle, saw that his brother's magic weapon had been taken away, and he quickly recited a mantra and threw up the dragon escape pile.

This dragon-hiding pile can also disrupt the world. According to Jin Zha's idea, since the two treasures are fighting against each other, the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella is definitely no match for the dragon-hiding pile, the master's most precious treasure. He can take the opportunity to bind the magic gift red.

As soon as the dragon-escaping stake came out, a black wind swept up in an instant, and the sand spread tens of thousands of feet across the ground. Within a thousand miles, there was chaos, and it was impossible to tell the direction.

However, Moli Hong saw it clearly and sneered: "How can this treasure stop me? Just take it!"
