Under the scorching summer sun after the rain, Teacher Shang and his students were wearing purple dragon scale armor, stepping on spotted dragon ponies, and wearing phoenix-winged helmets inlaid with crystal dragon bones. They looked like they had a third eye and were holding a handle.
With just a wave of the furnace gun, three thousand tigers and warriors, all on horseback and on foot, swarmed forward. Almost everyone was vying for the first place, and everyone wanted to fight. The sound shook the field for a while, and the pioneer general Shang Shisheng himself was also majestic and proud.
.
There is no way, no way not to be complacent.
As a backbone of Han Bolong's old army, he was almost abandoned during Cao Che's reign. He was obviously a top-notch alchemist, but he could only be a watchdog, or even a watchdog of an empty house. No one would be annoyed.
?
But what about now? Now that the Cao family has deposed itself, General Sima has arrived, and the sky has dawned, a hero has to be put to use, just like a sword that has been hidden for a long time is unsheathed and exposed to blood.
When it comes to the word "treasure", it is the second pride of Teacher and Student Shang. After more than ten years of wasted time, he had money and leisure but still had some power in a place that may be the world's transportation hub. He fell into the trap of a treasure.
The bad habit is collecting treasures.
The specific introduction actually has to fall on the encounters between his old boss Han Bolong and Han Bolong's nephew Li Ding when they were young. These two events, which were experienced by people around him, brought some stimulation to Teacher Shang and made him realize
The other world didn't seem to be as far away as I imagined... However, I couldn't explore anything near Gyeonggi, so I became interested in collecting related objects.
There is a saying, this is difficult.
The Fulong Seal was hand-made by the most recent Supreme Being, and it broke after Zhang Xing used it a few times. As for things like the Shocking Dragon Sword and the Imperial Dragon Tablet, it’s hard to say whether they are of any use at all, judging from their broken appearance.
Nowadays, it is very difficult for people with cultivation level below Grandmaster to mix Qi with objects. But at Grandmaster level, how many people would think of doing this if they don’t have the foundation?
Therefore, the treasure is rare, indeed rare.
However, teachers and students have been wasting more than ten years, and it’s really worth it!
After wearing the dragon crystal phoenix-winged helmet on the head, only the body-protecting Qi is used, and the perception is stronger on both sides and behind. Although it cannot be called eyes on the back of the head, it is still magical enough; the purple scales on the body's precious armor
The layers are stacked, not to mention extremely strong. The key is to have changes, so that the true energy can be released and released freely. If you want it to be tight, it will be smooth and tight for deflection. If you want it to be stacked, you can also open the scales to allow it to bend.
The person was caught off guard, and the hook of the weapon was pinched, making it impossible for him to start. It was like a dragon's scales stretching out. As for the furnace spear, it looked like an ordinary iron spear, but the wonderful thing was that the material was amazing, and the true energy was transmitted smoothly, just like
The meridians extend naturally.
Finally, of course, the crotch dragon horse.
Compared with the dead objects that can access the true energy, dragon colts are more common. However, since they are more common, there are more ways to do it, and the advantages and disadvantages are obvious... Teacher Shang and his students have searched seven or eight times for more than ten years.
I even tried to breed a dragon colt myself, but the result was that the best one seemed to be inferior to the black-coloured beast under the crotch of my old benefactor Han Bolong. Until a few months ago, when he was about to pay a visit
When he became the new master of Dongdu, he unexpectedly encountered a divine horse that was as powerful as the Wuzui Beast back in the day!
Moreover, the other party's owner was already seriously ill at the time, but he almost got this treasure for nothing.
Now, having acquired the Four Treasures, becoming a general again, leading the battlefield fiercely, and following his teacher as a pioneer, Shang Shi and his students only feel that their lives have reached a certain climax.
In fact, his offensive is really powerful.
Wu Changzai, who was standing in front of him, was considered a very high-level general. His troops were transferred to Nanyang and Huaixi and then reorganized into the so-called "old camp" in Jishui. However, both soldiers and generals fell into the trap.
Downwind.
Investigating the reason, it may be that Wu Chang was exhausted from the previous raids in Huaibei, but the reason is the reason after all, and reasons are not mentioned on the battlefield.
"Wu Erlang!" After personally leading the crowd into the opponent's formation and forcing back their old acquaintances, Master Shang and his students raised their bronze spears and laughed in front of the battle. "Cao Wei is dead, and the great feud has been ended. It's time for the hero to use his life.
What's the use of following a group of thieves? Why don't you surrender as soon as possible? Then, for the sake of the old commander, what if I grant you a general?"
Wu Changzai's eyes were cracked, and he who was about to retreat actually turned back again, and the last three groups of soldiers and horses around him also swarmed up.
Master Shang laughed even more when he saw this. The other party was Han Bolong's apprentice in his later years. How could he not be familiar with him? It was because he knew the other party's temper and deliberately angered him to prevent the other party from retreating and exchange with the rebels in the rear. And now the other party is indeed
He fell into the trap and was about to defeat the current battalion of thieves and show his power in front of the two armies.
At that time, the disadvantage of facing the sun happened to be broken, and the army in the rear took the opportunity to cover up the attack. It was a great victory, and he was also the first to win.
Of course, the army is not a fool. Master Shang and his students can see it clearly. Although the armies on both sides do not dare to move easily, they are all divided into groups of one hundred or two hundred cavalry. Some troops often go in front of them.
Some come to themselves.
But what does that mean? Are you the only one with reinforcements?
Master Shang did not look back at all, knowing that a small group of cavalry must have gathered behind him, ready to support him.
"Do you have an old relationship with Master Shang?" Looking at the clearly disadvantaged battlefield in front of him from a distance, Zhang Xing, who had already climbed onto the temporary earth fortress, was calm.
"My uncle's old department." Li Ding was calm. "We have some contacts."
"Hmm..." Zhang Xing couldn't help but laugh. "Your uncle's old army and your uncle's brother each guard the east and west gates. You are responsible for paving the road. I don't know whether it is needed or not."
Li Ding did not respond.
"It's a pity." Xiong Bonan routinely thought about recruiting more people. "We almost surrendered him that day, and Dongdu was also captured."
"Not to mention that one move can affect the whole body. It is absolutely impossible to do so. It is so smooth. I am afraid that it will lead to civil war at this time." Li Ding responded quietly at this time. "Li Shu occupied the eastern capital and gathered the people of Guanlong.
, our Chief Zhang occupied Hebei and gathered the old land of Dong Qi. The two sides fought in the upper reaches of Jishui where Gang started, and they fought in darkness, with many casualties."
Xiong Bonan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhang Xing again, and couldn't help but shake his head: "No, Shan Dalang and the others will not follow Li Shu. At that time, Li Shu will just leave the gang and set up his own business, so why talk about civil war?"
Li Ding was about to speak but stopped.
"I remembered." At this time, Zhang Xing suddenly spoke and suddenly realized. "Qin Er told me about this!"
"What's the matter?" Xiong Bonan was confused.
"The things ahead." Zhang Xing pointed forward with his finger. "It's about teachers and students! This time we are going to make a mistake! It really can be done!"
There, several small cavalry groups from the battalions in front have been dispatched to assist Wu Changzai, who is at a disadvantage. Some of them are harassing guerrillas from the flanks, some are trying to directly outflank the rear route, and of course, some are directly following Wu Changzai.
While attacking the main formation of teachers and students, Shang, corresponding reinforcements from the Dongdu Army also appeared and were trying to counterattack.
Xiong Bonan wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Li Ding: "You can't put all your hopes on Qin Er. The dispatch must keep up. Let Wu Dalang be prepared to respond, and send orders to the camp to prepare for the response."
The surrounding clerks and soldiers immediately became busy, and Xiong Bonan also kept silent to avoid disturbing the military order arrangement.
At the same time that the military order was issued, Qin Bao, under the cover of two teams of cavalry led by Su Jingfang himself, had joined the fiercest battle group on the front line... In the center of the battle group were Wu Changzai and Shang Shisheng. The former was huge and even
They didn't even ride horses, but fought with the opponent on the ground holding a big stick that was almost a log. When the big stick was swung, it brought up bursts of yellow wind and dust, like ghosts and gods;
The tall horse wearing a horse-faced cloak was swept by a huge wooden stick. The man just raised his gun and dealt with it calmly. The white light on the tip of the gun waxed and waned. Every time it intersected with the wooden stick, it could cut off a lot of wood chips.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the cover of Fengchen and sawdust, everyone would have noticed that Wu Changzai was covered in blood. This was because he had a shallow wound on his body from time to time.
However, such a duel between the two, not to mention who has the upper hand, the wind and sand rolling around the wood chips, accompanied by the flying out of the true energy, is deadly enough on the battlefield. Even if an ordinary armor rides forward, it will not be able to survive for a moment.
will be affected. This situation seems to give Qin Bao an opportunity to make a surprise attack.
However, it may be that the helmet really worked. When Qin Bao's prancing horse approached the center of the battle group, Master Shang and his students had already noticed this black-armored knight... It was obvious that this was a master with a high level of cultivation, perhaps a condensation pill
, is probably the idle leader of the thieves, mixed with a group of ordinary armored cavalry, but killed a lot of people, and made rapid progress. He looked straight towards him, as if he was going to assassinate on the battlefield, trying to suppress himself.
Forced to withdraw from the army.
After knowing the origin of the other party, Teacher Shang actually wanted to retreat... It's not that he was afraid of anyone, it was just that the military formation had the advantage, so there was really no need to take risks... Besides, at this time, reinforcements from the rear had arrived, and his own military formation was in danger.
It's thick, and if you give in a little and attract a pursuit, you may be able to pounce on the opponent in turn, or even directly return to the carbine.
Wu Changzai has a high level of cultivation and is resistant to beating and wear. Killing the black-armored boy can also have a deterrent effect.
However, when the black-armored cavalry successfully broke out of the military formation and came into view, that is, the moment when Master Shang and his students had withdrawn their magical powers and were about to turn around, they only took one glance and changed their minds.
Without him, teachers and students of Shang have been immersed in the art of horse fortune-telling for many years, and they can see clearly. With just one glance, they can tell that the yellow gelding under the opponent's crotch is actually a dragon colt! And it is as powerful as the spotted beast under his crotch!
It's just that the spotted beast is good at charging into battle, and the yellow gelding should be good at traveling long distances... If all of these are achieved, wouldn't life be complete?
At this thought, Teacher Shang and his students advanced instead of retreating, relying on their horse power to easily get rid of Wu Changzai, and then turned around and jumped on their horses to meet the rider - wouldn't it be a pity if the other party failed to fall into the trap and followed him?
The two sides were several feet apart. Master Shang and his students crossed their legs and jumped up. At the same time, Duanjiang Zhenqi was flowing crazily, but it was not just an ordinary white light... The four treasures all over his body vibrated in the white light, as if they had been washed by oil.
Shining brightly in the sun.
If Zhang Xing were here, he would definitely feel that even the resolution of this guy has changed!
But it doesn’t matter. Shang Shisheng’s soldiers are stronger, his horses are stronger, his cultivation level is higher, and his equipment is far superior to the opponent’s. He even caught a glimpse of the opponent’s tricks early. At this time, he did the opposite and launched a surprise attack, beating the opponent again.
He was caught off guard, so he attacked first from the air, and before the gun fell, the victory seemed to be decided.
In fact, the black-armored knight below who seemed to have good cultivation seemed to be frightened by this reverse attack. He actually just stood on his horse and looked at himself with a big iron gun in his hand, without even a gesture of parry.
Seeing this shape, Teacher Shang and his students were speechless. In order to protect the dragon colt under the opponent's crotch, he changed his posture in the air and did not hesitate to leave himself wide open, switching from a vertical thrust to a horizontal swing... Of course, he was not afraid, because below him
The other person was also open-minded and didn't even respond.
But at this moment, Teacher and Student Shang suddenly felt a discordant shaking in the air by instinct. It seemed that some instructions on the dragon horse under his crotch were too strong, so he quickly used his true energy from his legs to control the BMW in the air.
, as a result, as soon as the zhenqi was used, the dragon horse under his crotch began to twist wildly in the air like crazy. Before he could do anything else, the whole person overturned and lost balance in the air, and then fell flat on his body.
For a moment, teachers and students Shang were completely confused.
However, the moment he was horizontal in the air, he immediately noticed two things through the diffusion of vision and combat instinct of the helmet on his head:
The black-armored cavalryman who originally looked stunned actually took action firmly and promptly without hesitation. The electric light bounced off the tip of the big iron spear that was swinging, and it was thrust straight towards him; then, with the help of
Under the lightning, he recognized the man. He was the sick man who had been so ill a few months ago that he couldn't even get out of bed.
This gave Teacher Shang and his students a sense of enlightenment, but it also added a sense of panic that was almost helpless.
Immediately afterwards, there was pain that he had not felt for many years, severe pain... Before he even landed on the ground, the big iron gun had already pierced his protective energy, pierced into his shoulder, and then unexpectedly hit one of them again.
stir!
Teacher Shang let out a loud roar that shook the surroundings. However, he abandoned the bronze gun that was carrying the stove and desperately stood on the ground. He grabbed the base of the gun head of the opponent's big iron gun with both hands, and in turn used his true energy to fight for the iron with the opponent.
Qin Bao, who thought he had succeeded, was caught off guard. For a moment, Duanjiang Zhenqi followed the iron spear and drove it away.
Except for that layer of lightning!
Qin Bao was shocked, so he simply abandoned the big iron gun and got off his horse to look for the furnace gun.
Teacher Shang and his students did not dare to neglect, so they separated their hands to try to get the furnace gun that was right in front of them. As a result, one of the shoulder sockets was penetrated deeply and they could not exert force. They could only touch the handle of the gun but could not lift it up.
I had no choice but to rely on the excellent conductivity of this gun to expel it with my true energy, and at the same time tried to lift the iron gun on the other side as a support to stand up from under the horse... However, at the moment when the man tried to use force to stand up,
The general of the Dongdu Army suddenly felt an unbearable pain in the inner side of his right leg. The pain was so bad that he raised his gun and stood up. His whole body convulsed and he screamed on the ground.
It turned out that the spotted beast had already thrown off its horse mask on the ground and stood up sideways. At the same time, it noticed that the temporary owner was about to get up, so it took the opportunity to open its big mouth and bite the temporary owner's thigh hard, which was also the treasure.
There are few uncovered parts of the body.
The tumor beast didn't completely take advantage.
Previously, he struggled to turn over in mid-air, knocking down Teacher Shang and his students, as well as himself. Now he went to bite someone's leg, but was rubbed by the scales raised by someone's armor, and his face and head were covered in blood.
But the dragon colt just seemed to be crazy. It was even more excited after being injured. When it stood up, it raised its head and shouted loudly, then raised its hoofs and trampled the opponent desperately.
It can only be said that Master Shang is indeed a top expert below the level of Grandmaster, and he has rich experience in his early years. At this time, he was able to endure the pain of two injuries and get up with an iron gun, but he was reluctant to kill the BMW in front of him.
He just turned around and ran away.
But Qin Bao had already picked up the furnace gun, how could he be spared?
He just stabbed the opponent with a shot of lightning, but he only stabbed the opponent's heel, as if he had the intention of keeping this person!
Master Shang received a blow on his foot and his ordinary greaves were pierced. He knelt down on one knee and yelled in anger: "Why are you missing your precious boots?!"
Qin Bao felt amazing after using this spear. He turned over to his own spotted beast again, then sneered and stabbed the opponent repeatedly with his spear: "I'll stab your treasure armor with your treasure spear. It's a treasure spear."
You are invincible because your precious armor is invincible!"
Master Shang and his students knelt on the ground, struggling to raise their iron spears to stop them, never forgetting to scream: "How can you not cherish treasures like this?"
While they were talking, the surroundings of the two armies had already been alarmed by the changes, and the Dongdu Army naturally came to support their generals. Unexpectedly, Su Jingfang had already leapt out of the horse, galloping and shooting. The golden light above the arrows made those who hit them fall off their horses one after another.
It seems that it cannot be underestimated.
Teacher Shang and his students could not wait for rescue and did not dare to delay any longer. They endured three wounds on their bodies and relied on their cultivation to retreat desperately. However, they spotted a gap in Qin Bao's movement and jumped up desperately, then twisted in the air.
It was as if his anger was flowing out... That look reminded Qin Bao inexplicably of a man who followed Mang King Kong to raid the Black Tower over Jing'an Tower many years ago but was captured by Cao Lin.
While he was thinking wildly, he had to be convinced by the other party's high level of cultivation and the strength of the armor on his body.
And just when Qin Bao was about to give up his opponent and go to capture the flag, suddenly, strong winds blew up around him. Everyone was dumbfounded when a giant lifted up a huge wooden stick and smashed it at the crooked teachers and students in the air!
With just one blow of the stick, Teacher Shang and his students were beaten to the ground. They crushed several people to death on the spot without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Qin Bao was the first to ride forward, hoping to find the other party to tie the knot with. He was also shocked that countless people from both armies rushed to grab it.
On the earthen base at the rear, Zhang Xing, Li Ding, and Xiong Bonan looked at the scene from a distance that exposed the situation of the surprise attack ahead, and each felt relieved.
"Seventy-eight percent, seventy-eight percent, it actually happened." Li Ding was stunned for a moment and seemed to sneer.
"Qin Erlang's meritorious service was not signed by the leader this morning. I am afraid that this time I am the big leader and no one will gossip about it." Xiong Bonan said sternly from the side, and reiterated before someone could refuse. "This is not what you are doing.
When people are wise, chief, when we do things, especially in military affairs, we must distinguish between public and private affairs, and we must not make any mistakes. You cannot deliberately be modest because Qin Erlang is your closest relative. This is not only unfair to Qin Erlang, but will also be counterproductive in the future.
The opportunity to come here to suppress other people's military merits can be given away today, but can be snatched away tomorrow... And I am not complimenting you as the chief, I am a military judge, and I usually do military merit measurement, so I have a good idea."
Zhang Xing then nodded.
However, the next moment, the three people on the earthen base almost all changed their colors, and Xiong Bonan even raised the flag and flew out.
It turned out that when a few people looked up, they saw a huge golden faceless statue nearly ten feet tall standing out of thin air in the Dongdu Army formation to the north, almost blending in with the midday sun, and then it rushed towards the front army.
Obviously, Sima Zheng, as the commander-in-chief of an army, took action directly.
They could see clearly from behind, and the front army was even more shocked. Before Qin Bao, Su Jingfang and others arrived, they noticed a strong wind coming towards them. They could hardly stand up. When they looked up and saw the giant, they were so close.
Chi Shen shakes.
Besides, the army was also well-informed, including what they might encounter before the battle. Looking at this, they naturally knew that Sima Zheng was coming, but even if they knew it in their hearts, they were shocked, and many people fled directly back to the formation.
Among them, some of the remaining people fought in two groups, not necessarily because they wanted to hold on to the front, but rather because they were frightened and were at a loss what to do.
But some people were not afraid at all, and instead acted quickly. Qin Bao was just startled, and then continued to jump on his horse and lunge, trying to grab the teacher and student Shang who was being dragged away by his subordinates before the opponent came to rescue him.
Also moving quickly was Wu Changzai, who was flying. This giant man with more than a dozen wounds on his body did not hesitate and pounced on the golden statue approaching from the north.
At the same time, a huge purple curtain spread out almost instantly at the rear of the army, like a purple cloud covering the front army.
What was just a military duel between mortals suddenly turned into a battle between gods.
But it was a one-sided battle between gods.
Under the eyes of everyone, Wu Erlang flew into the sky and rushed towards the giant statue. The giant statue just waved his hand and knocked the cat-and-mouse-sized attacker in front of him to the ground. That look was really like before.
Wu Erlang shot down Master Shang and his students.
That's not all. As the huge purple curtain unfolded, Qin Bao had already killed those loyal soldiers and came to Master Shang who was completely incapacitated. Then he directly shot the opponent's neck with a single shot. Unexpectedly, a pair of golden
The giant hand actually tore through the purple curtain and covered Master Shang and his students right in front of Qin Bao.
Qin Bao was not afraid at all, and stabbed with all his strength. It was obviously just Zhenqi, but it was as difficult as piercing real flesh. But fortunately, he was surprised by the furnace gun, and managed to pass through the palm where the glowing Zhenqi condensed, and then it stabbed the opponent's neck.
Side, and then scratch the skin, you have to work hard to penetrate deeply.
However, since Sima Zheng arrived, how could he allow Qin Er to succeed so easily?
The statue immediately protected Master Shang and his students with one hand, then spread out one hand and pushed it towards Qin Bao. Qin Er was not afraid at all, but calmly reined in his horse, jumped back, and raised the tiara again.
The furnace spear comes to stab the giant hand.
But Sima Zheng was not willing to fight at all, and retreated after rescuing Master Shang and his students.
Xiong Bonan followed up again, and the huge purple flag turned in the air, trying to block the opponent, but at the next moment it took the initiative to put it away, and once again covered the military formation below... Without him, on top of the Dongdu Army's strict military formation,
A huge crossbow appeared in the sky, and it was already pointing at the army's formation.
That's a lot of talk.
"Ming Jin retreats!" Seeing this, Li Ding immediately ordered. "Every unit returns to the formation! Leave a small group of troops to clean up and rescue!"
After the military order was passed, Zhang Xingfang asked in a low voice: "Will Ming Jin show his cowardice at this time?"
"No, we have defeated the vanguard in front of us, so they retreated first." Li Ding said sternly. "What's more important is that if we don't retreat now and continue to struggle and the battle escalates, we won't have the Fulong Seal."
It's one thing to be completely exposed, but it's another thing to have reinforcements arrive soon, and it's another thing to defend yourself against the many masters on the other side without having to suffer casualties."
Zhang Xing nodded, but then shook his head: "It seems that if I don't give Qin Er the leader this time, I'm afraid it won't be justified."
"You might as well worry about Sima Zheng." Li Ding glared at the person next to him. "This guy looks like he has become a great master, and if he wasn't, it would be even more troublesome! If such a person really dares to fight in a decisive battle, who can
Can humans stop it? Are the few King Kongs in the reinforcements really the opponents of such heroes of heaven and earth?"
"Did you know how powerful he was on the first day?" Zhang Xing was quite open to this. "Besides, it's not our family's trouble that he's great. I just want to see if Bai Hengqiu is troublesome or not."
"Let's get through this first!" Li Ding was speechless. "If we continue to use it like this, the morale of the army will be exhausted, and major events will be delayed by then!"
"I'll try." Zhang Xing sighed. "I'll try."
This battle in late May could be considered a hasty start and a hasty end.
No one thought that Shang Shisheng, the vanguard general of the Dongdu Army, would have such a bizarre flaw and be easily attacked by Qin Bao and the Spotted Tumor Beast, causing him to be seriously injured and comatose, making life or death uncertain. No one also thought that just
If the vanguard is unfavorable, the commander-in-chief of an army, or even the military and political leader of a political entity in troubled times, will be eliminated directly, but the combat power is so strong.
Throughout the afternoon, both sides had no intention of fighting, and only used small groups of troops to engage in low-intensity battles on the previous battlefield.
After the battle until evening, they each returned to camp.
The two sides stopped fighting, and let’s not talk about other things for the time being. In Qiaocheng City, Sima Jinda came down from the city to see his brother. After talking about today’s situation, Sima Huada finally became a little panicked: “My son is so strong, how can he fight in the city?
Among the thousands of soldiers, I saved a warrior under the Grand Master's curtain. Why can't he come to save me? Do you really blame me?"
"Looking at it now, I'm not complaining." Unexpectedly, Sima Jinda also calmed down, or he has always been so calm. "Using this to judge Erlang would seem to be cheap..."
"What do you mean?" Sima Huada looked puzzled, but his brother did not respond directly to him, so the prime minister looked at Feng Chang who was standing aside.
Feng Chang paused for a moment and made sure that Sima Jinda didn't mean to speak before he explained in a low voice: "Returning to the Prime Minister, what You Pushe means is that the general has secured the Eastern Capital. Whatever he does, he must use the entire Eastern Capital."
We should consider the gains and losses of everyone, rather than personal feelings... In other words, whether the general comes to rescue us or not has nothing to do with the relationship between father and son."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Sima Huada immediately interrupted the other party.
"That's a lot." Feng Chang said with a bitter smile. "For example, although Jiangdu's military rebellion is reasonable, from Dongdu's point of view, the matter of regicide and the killing of King Qi are not easy to compare, because Dongdu
They are all the confidants of the Central Committee of the Wei Dynasty. They have benefited from the Wei Dynasty, but have not suffered from the imperial army. They also have a lot of love for the Wei Dynasty in their hearts, not to mention the consideration of establishing a new emperor..."
Sima Huada glanced at Niu Fangsheng, who was lying on one side of the mat and was listening, without saying a word.
Feng Changze continued: "In addition, the Forbidden Army was defeated before and tens of thousands of people were captured. At this time, we and the Forbidden Army prisoners have become two ends of the same steelyard. If we are taken away by force, or if we are taken away, where will the prisoners be?"
It’s hard to say.”
Sima Huada sneered and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he did not speak.
"besides……"
"Okay." Sima Jinda waved his hand impatiently. "After all, it's the people of Dongdu... and the people in our city are not helpful to the people of Dongdu, and may even be harmful."
"If you say that, and you said that Erlang doesn't care about selfishness now, but only cares about the public heart, wouldn't he give us away in exchange for the hearts of Dongdu?" Sima Huada was furious. "As long as the hearts of the people, father and son don't want it? Not even father and son.
If he doesn't want it, who dares to believe him? Where does the human heart come from?"
Obviously, the Prime Minister's political sense is still there, but he cares more about matters concerning himself.
Sima Jinda was silent for a moment, as if he was persuaded by his eldest brother, and finally responded quietly: "This is Erlang's problem, we are a burden... To save us is to abandon the soldiers of the Imperial Army and lose the hearts of the Eastern Capital; no
Save us. If we lose our filial piety, it will be difficult to restore our hearts."
Sima Huada just sneered.
But Niu Fangsheng and Feng Chang remained silent.
After a while, suddenly, there was a commotion outside, but several private soldiers of the Sima family escorted an ordinary city guard sergeant in. Then, in the unconcerned eyes of several people in the hall, a
The private soldier handed a letter to Sima Jinda and explained:
"Seventh General, someone below the city sent a message to the city. It was specially thrown to the Nancheng garrison gathered by the Fengshe people, and they named it to show to the Fengshe people! But we had already controlled the city head and stopped him halfway.
!”
Feng Chang's eyes widened.
Sima Jinda, on the other hand, took the letter indifferently, looked at it up and down for a few times, and then opened it to read... There was clearly only one piece of paper in the letter, but for some reason, Sima Jinda read it for a long time.
Moreover, he remained silent for a long time after putting down the letter.
"Seven Generals." Feng Chang couldn't help it anymore. He almost begged to speak, but he tried hard to keep himself from kneeling. "May I ask how you framed me in the letter?"
"It's none of your business." Sima Jinda waved his hand. "It was Yu Changnan who used his friendship to persuade you to surrender."
Feng Chang felt relieved and hurriedly said: "This Yu Changnan is also confused. How can he dare to persuade me to surrender after seeing the power of the general today?"
Sima Jinda nodded, hesitated, handed the letter to Feng Chang, then stood up and walked out.
Sima Huada sat at the top and watched this scene coldly. When his brother left, he finally shouted: "Show me!"
Feng Chang had already read half of it and felt flustered for a moment, but he still handed the letter to Sima Huada.
The latter looked at it carefully, but after a moment he suddenly stood up and left in a hurry.
Feng Chang stood in the hall, sweating profusely. He looked around and saw Niu Fangsheng lying there with his leg broken, his round eyes facing him. He finally nodded and asked someone to carry Niu Fangsheng back.
Then I dare not come out again.
It was getting dark, and the military camp became quiet. After an almost chaotic bragging and display of merit, Qin Bao, who had just been appointed as the temporary leader by public discussion, quietly left the camp with Zhang Xing.
The two of them were riding a yellow gelding and the other a spotted beast. They were also wearing no armor. Zhang Xing was equipped with a sword, and Qin Bao was carrying a newly acquired furnace gun.
First we crossed the Wohe River, and then went north along the river. Then we walked calmly and chatted.
The things they said were all mixed up:
"Does this gun work?"
"good?"
"Why is it called a furnace gun? Which furnace?"
"It's hard to say... This furnace should have the same pronunciation... On the battlefield, it means a skull, which means tying the head under the head of a gun; privately, it means a gourd's reed, which can be used to hang a wine gourd. Later, I don't know why, it started
When someone hangs an incense burner or other accessories, it becomes a stove gun."
"It's interesting...someone picked up Master Shang's helmet, did you know?"
"Know."
"Do you want it?"
"I don't particularly want or don't want this kind of thing. You can see it today. Everything depends on the person...and even this furnace gun, I am ready to return it, not to mention the helmet is not on my battlefield at all.
Taken."
"You want to give it back?"
"That day when Master Shang and his students were at Longqing Pass, they said they wanted to seize the horse, but in the end they gave me money and sent people to cure me...it was considered a forced sale. I actually feel a little uneasy."
"Then find an opportunity to return it, and return this helmet as well?"
"The helmet has nothing to do with me."
"Well, I'm just going to give this helmet away as a reward."
"to whom?"
"Han Erlang, that leader who doesn't even have a proper name, he did a good job this time. I need to show him some..."
"I have heard about this person. I heard that he had never done any spiritual practice before. As a result, he suddenly acquired the secret of heaven and established the foundation during the war at the end of last year?"
"Yes, I just think this is a person whose destiny is determined by human affairs. I should take a closer look at it."
"Sure enough, Su Jingfang must have condensed his elixir."
"Oh, this is... this is natural. A rising tide lifts all boats, and this kid is extremely talented."
"But Third Brother, you are just Cheng Dan..."
"I can't help it, Black Emperor is too weird, even a little evil..."
"Jia Yue..."
"Let's talk about it later!"
"Then what is the third brother visualizing?" Qin Bao suddenly asked an interesting question. "I heard people say that once a person reaches the realm of becoming an elixir, he can't help but start visualizing."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xing was surprised. "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't have any feeling. I'm just confused."
Qin Baoqing knew that his third brother had always been weird in his practice, but he didn't mean anything weird, so he changed the subject again.
In this way, the two of them drove at night and walked against the Guohe River. They also saw the Dongdu Army Camp. About three o'clock before they came to a city and a military camp, they directly called for patrol at the camp gate.
The soldiers scanned their faces and checked their whale bone tokens, and then went in to tie their horses.
After a moment, Wang Wulang stood up and came over, but Qin Bao had disappeared. After asking, he found out that Qin Erlang had climbed directly into the city without jumping. Moreover, Zhang Xing did not allow Wang Shuyong to disturb others, so he only stayed in the stable.
Sit down and chat, talking about the day's war.
It turned out that the place they came to was Guyang County. Outside the city were five battalions of soldiers and horses led by Wang Shuyong facing each other. Inside the city were the headquarters of the partial divisions led by Li Qingchen and Wang Huaitong.
Qin Bao only went there for a while and then came back to report quickly, and he even brought someone back with him.
Zhang Xing, who was leaning on the manger, smiled when he saw this person under the lamp: "Isn't this the leader of the house? So, Duke Huai Tong is really inside?"
That person, Fang Xuanqiao, paused and smiled bitterly: "I don't remember that I became the leader of a gang...but my mentor is indeed in the city."
"Gong Huaitong is..."
"An encounter..." Fang Xuanqiao quickly recounted the experiences of teachers and students after their separation in Hongshan.
After Zhang Xing heard this, he also sighed: "In this way, Old Master Zhang is really gone... Within a few months, the two great masters left together. Although these two were closely related to the Wei Dynasty and were implicated, they still let him
It’s amazing.”
"Master doesn't care about this, he just feels it's a pity." Fang Xuanqiao replied seriously. "So I urge Master Qianjin to go north to Jianghuai and re-erect the pagoda."
"No wonder...if Qianjin Cult Leader is doing something in Jianghuai, I will give you full support." Zhang Xing leaned on the manger and asked under the lamp. "But what about you, do you feel it is a pity?"
"I also feel it is a pity...how can it not be a pity?" Fang Xuanqiao sighed quietly.
"Then what do you want? Do you want to come with me tonight and help Zhang Shizhao and Zhang Branch as Mengji?" Zhang Xing asked sincerely.
Fang Xuanqiao thought for a while and slowly shook his head: "It's fate, this time I should have gone directly to the chief's camp, but I was wrapped up by General Sima... Not to mention what I believed in this.
, but I am also curious about the direction of Dongdu... As for the Mengji incident, it is a long-term matter. If Chief Zhang is tolerant, let me go to Dongdu to have a look, including trying to promote the withdrawal and reconciliation this time.
It’s not too late to go to Hebei to find the chief.”
"I'm also curious about the direction of the Eastern Capital, and there's room for tolerance. It's okay for you to come and find me again in ten years when the world is at peace." Zhang Xing nodded. "What do you want to say about this peace negotiation?"
"Actually, since the chief has defeated the main force of the imperial army, this battle is not necessary in the first place, or it is just a test for the sake of peace." Fang Xuanqiao said seriously beside the manger. "But from my point of view, General Sima
He seems to be a bit stubborn, but I don’t know if it’s because of the heavy losses of the Imperial Army, his father’s uncle’s affairs, or because he has a grudge against the chief and wants to establish his power to control the Eastern Capital?”
"To me?" Zhang Xing was slightly surprised.
"He claims to be the best in the world, but he hasn't beaten the chief yet."
"..." Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and asked seriously, "Is this your idea or someone else's?"
"It's my idea, but Li Shaocheng seems to think so too," Fang Xuanqiao said.
"Li Twelve Lang?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"If it weren't for Li Shaocheng, how could I go out of the city to meet you? If it weren't for Li Shaocheng, how could Chief Zhang come here?" Fang Xuanqiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Is he in good health?" Zhang Xing asked seriously, but immediately stopped laughing. "These words are like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken... His injury was first stabbed by our army in Huaibei... Wang Xiongdan stabbed him
Right? He has also come out to lead the troops now."
"Things on the battlefield..." Fang Xuanqiao couldn't say anything else. "But judging from what I'm doing, he shouldn't complain."
"I used to resent it, but now I don't." Qin Bao suddenly interrupted. "It doesn't matter even if I'm resentful."
"Why?" Zhang Xing asked in surprise.
"Because he is about to die." Qin Er gave an irrefutable answer. "I saw at a glance that he was about to die... He wanted to do something before he died, so he spent his last breath to help Sima Zheng.
, but we don’t let Sima Zheng do meaningless things.”
"Then what does he think is meaningful?" Zhang Xing chased after him.
"We have to ask him now." Qin Bao also felt a little sad. "Anyway, we shouldn't let Sima Zheng spend time with us."
"Li Shaocheng asked Chief Zhang to have a talk by the river in the north of the city." Fang Xuanqiao bowed and held his hands.
"He is not in good health. I will go to the city to see him." Zhang Xing was generous.
"No." Wang Shuyong, who was very interested when he heard this, suddenly realized and immediately stopped him. "Li Qingchen has a grudge against us, how can we believe it? On the other side of the Guohe River in the north of the city is the Dongdu Army Camp, where Sima Zheng and Tuan Long Lun are all.
, let alone entering the city.”
"In this case, we won't enter the city. As for the north of the city, I'm going to rely on Wu Lang's magic shot to scan the river for me." Zhang Xing blurted out.
Wang Shuyong was stunned for a moment and then responded.
There is no way, of course Zhang Xing can't say that I trust Qin Bao, and Qin Bao and Li Qingchen are obviously close friends of life and death. He said that Li Qingchen is sincere if he is sincere... This cannot be said to the subordinates in the gang.
Just like that, the group set off immediately, riding lightly and arriving at the north of the city. It was midnight, but they saw the half-open moons, the stars, and the shadows of the camp on the south bank, like buildings, all reflected in the river... On the river embankment
Above, Li Twelve Lang was waiting early. Although it was summer and there was no wind or rain, he was still wrapped in a brocade robe. At this time, he turned around to look at everyone, but his face was pale.
He opened his mouth and looked even more weak: "Zhang Sanlang, I'm going to die."
Zhang Xing paused, nodded, and got off his horse.
Dozens of miles away, in Qiao City, Sima Jinda was sitting on the top of the city, looking at the sky without saying a word. After a long time, he slowly looked at the leader of Sima's private army in front of him: "Is that what he said? First of all,
Do you want to be strong, otherwise his life will be at risk?"
The leader knelt in front of Sima Jinda, bowed his head and said nothing.
"He is always the smartest in this kind of thing." Sima Jinda was relieved. "But it's okay, I won't worry about it anymore if it makes me regret it... When?"
"tomorrow."
"In other words, I only have one day to live?" Sima Jinda sat on the top of the city and exhaled. When he looked around again, he felt confused.
