Chapter 103 The Battle of Gaoping (5)

Jiang Qiubai was now calm. He turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanzheng, only to see that he had already stood up and was fighting three Shenhu camp guards with his bare fists. Jiang Qiubai was annoyed that he had assassinated Guo Rong. He stepped forward and struck out with his palm, knocking Zhang Yuanzheng away more than two feet and hitting a Han soldier in the chaos. Several Shenhu camp guards flew over and slashed with their swords, but it was Remove Zhang Yuanzheng's head.

"Senior brother..."

"Mr. Jiang..."

"See the Emperor..."

Three voices sounded from behind him at the same time. Jiang Qiubai turned around and saw that Zhao Kuangyi had knelt on the ground to kowtow to Guo Rong. Meng Xiaohu and Chang Shan brother and sister looked at each other with red faces. They thought it was the first time they met Guo Rong and they didn't know how to greet him. Jiang Qiu Bai was about to speak and introduce them to them when he heard a burst of cheers from the Shenhu camp guards: "The Tiger Army is here...kill..."

"Kill...kill..."

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Zhou army shouted and shouted for killing.

Guo Rong, Jiang Qiubai and others raised their eyes and looked at the Han soldiers' middle camp fifty feet away. They saw on the roof of the village separated from the Han soldiers' left camp, standing on the roof of the village, soldiers of the Hujie Army drawing bows and shooting arrows. Shi Yanchao's troops The Han soldiers had already arrived from behind, and Liu Chong's camp was in chaos.

Guo Rong was overjoyed. He raised his right arm, stretched out his spear, and picked up Zhang Yuanxi's head from the hand of a divine tiger camp guard on the right. He smiled at the guard and said, "Use it with me, and I will ask you for credit later..." …”

It is said that Zhang Yuanzheng was killed by Jiang Qiubai's palm. This soldier just took the head first, and under Guo Rong's eyes, he was worried about how to claim credit. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Thank you. Your Majesty, your grace..."

Guo Rong smiled slightly, but handed the handle of the gun to Jiang Qiubai. Jiang Qiubai was startled, and immediately understood what he meant, took the spear, raised it, and shouted loudly: "Hedong soldiers, listen, General Ni." Zhang Yuanzhu’s head is here. His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou has shown his favor and surrendered his weapons without killing..."

"Your Majesty, please surrender your weapons without killing me..." the Shenhu camp guard beside him shouted.

The cry of Jiang Qiubai Bao Danxiu spread to all directions, and the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty who fought fiercely with the Zhou soldiers led by Gao Huaide, Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin and Bai Congzan on the east side, but after hearing the cry of Zhang Yuanxiu's death, they looked at each other. , abandoned their armor and weapons one after another and returned.

Guo Rong dismounted and walked to the side of Meng Xiaohu and the others. He smiled and said to Meng Xiaohu and Chang Shan, "The emperor has met these two junior uncles."

Jiang Qiubai had never seen an emperor being so polite to others, and couldn't help but smile.

When Meng Xiaohu and Chang Shan saw this, they looked at each other, blushed and knelt before them.

Guo Rong did not stop him. After the two of them bowed, he stretched out his hand to help him up.

If it were Min Xingwu, Zhao Yinshan and others, Guo Rong would not allow them to perform such a great gift. Guo Rong also had a motive for deliberately identifying himself and letting Meng and Chang pay homage.

He saw that Meng and Chang were very courageous, and he had already wanted to recruit people around him. However, he thought that Meng and Chang were young, so he naturally had to use the rules of monarchs and ministers to restrain their minds, so as not to rely on being the emperor's uncle in the future. He uses his identity to bully others.

He turned to look at Chang Qingqing, who had eyes wide open and stared at his face with a look of envy, "Who are you?"

Chang Qingqing looked a little shy and said: "My, my name is Chang Qingqing..."

Jiang Qiubai smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, she is Junior Brother Chang's sister."

"Oh?" Guo Rong was surprised for a moment when he saw Chang Qingqing running towards the place where Zhang Yuanxi's horse was lying on the ground and dying, squatting down, as if looking for something. Jiang Qiubai thought in his heart, remembering what he had just seen When I saw the two green lines crossing in front of Guo Rong's horse, I immediately guessed that it was Chang Qingqing who released the poisonous snake, causing Zhang Yuanzheng's horse to stumble.

However, Guo Rong didn't know it. He walked up to Chang Qingqing and saw her holding a bamboo tube. He found two green snakes under the horse's belly and put it into the tube. Only then did he understand the reason why Zhang Yuanzheng's horse stumbled.

Guo Rong was also skilled in Guyuanjing. When Zhang Yuanzheng was attacking with his gun, Jiang Qiubai's long sword had already shot down the fatal flying arrow. He calmed down and was about to use his gun to block Zhang Yuanzheng's stabbing attack. , but saw Zhang Yuanzheng's horse suddenly stumble and fall.

If Zhang Yuanzheng could hurt him, he couldn't, but knowing that Chang Qingqing was Chang Shan's sister, he thought with a thought and said with a smile: "It turns out it was Qingqing who saved me. Okay, okay, I will give you a big reward later, haha..." "

What he said now was paving the way for him to recruit Chang Shan and Meng Xiaohu to serve in the court in the future. Jiang Qiubai understood his intentions and felt emotional, but he knew that Guo Rong had great ambitions. In these troubled times, he not only needed to be able to conquer Talents who are good at fighting must also have loyal generals.

Thinking of He Hui and Fan Aineng leading the right army to retreat, Jiang Qiubai broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for Guo Rongxiong's bold strategy and determination, Liu Chong's generation would have fled without a fight. By then, it would be a crushing defeat. Even if Guo Rong saved his life, but with his prestige lost, it will be difficult to control the soldiers in Jiezhen in the future, and rebellions in the Central Plains will happen at any time.

Jiang Qiubai looked at Meng Xiaohu, "Junior brother, why are you here?"

The battle situation was critical just now, so there was no time to ask in detail. Now a great victory was imminent, so Jiang Qiubai only came to inquire.

"We...we came with Uncle Fang and brother Xiaoyao..." Meng Xiaohu responded.

"Ah... not good." Meng Xiaohu suddenly thought that Luo Xiaoyao was still fighting against the Liao soldiers. He looked at Chang Shan and said to Jiang Qiubai: "Brother, brother Xiaoyao is still fighting against the Liao soldiers..."

The Khitan military camp was more than a hundred feet farther back than the Han military camp, with villages in between. However, Jiang Qiubai was in front of the Han military camp, but could not see the situation in front of the Khitan military camp. After hearing what Meng Xiaohu said, Before he could finish speaking, he rushed towards the Liao camp.

At this time, the three guards, who were mainly guards, had fought with Luo Xiaoyao for more than thirty moves, but they were forced to the place where injured horses and dead soldiers were lying in front of the stronghold. The three of them had no intention of doing so, and they had no intention of doing so. He dared to use ruthless moves to kill Luo Xiaoyao, but the power of his moves was already greatly reduced, but seeing the chaos behind him, it would be difficult to use his moves if he retreated, so he wanted to counterattack and force Luo Xiaoyao away.

The three of them have been practicing moves together for many years, and their minds are connected. At that moment, they all shouted, changing from defense to offense, and their sword intent and sword energy increased instantly. It was not like the previous weapons that separated as soon as the weapons met, but the moment when the weapons met. , Qi machine also attacked Luo Xiaoyao.

Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to be careless. The only move in the "Yue Shuang Sword Technique" that could exert the same power as a sword was the "Jade Plate Thousand Hairs". With the illusion of sword light, he blocked the three people's attacks and retreated at the same time. Count steps.

As soon as he stood still, he immediately used the "Nianqing Sword Technique" all the way. However, when the swords met, they suddenly retreated and changed their moves to attack again.

Luo Xiaoyao knew that the combined power of the three of them would be able to achieve great success. The weapons were strong, but the stamina was not something he could stop. Previously, he mostly used the Xingxiu Sword Technique, and occasionally used the "Luoying Sword Technique" to fight against the enemy. At this time, he would The 'Nianqing Sword Technique' is used one after another, and the power of the sword energy is also different.

As for his spiritual perception in the realm of holding pills, it is unparalleled by the three people named Yang, and his moves change so fast that it is dizzying.

The three of them had fought dozens of moves with Luo Xiaoyao, and he was already familiar with the moves. Although they joined forces to counterattack, Luo Xiaoyao took advantage of them. When the three of them attacked, they retreated, and when the remaining momentum was about to disappear, they

They attack quickly and move up, so you attack and I retreat, I attack and you retreat, but the fight is evenly matched.

After Luo Xiaoyao used "Long Shadow Dark Snow", he quickly took three steps back. With a thought in his mind, he let out a light drink, his energy was stretched, and he used "Nianqing Sword Technique" from the beginning again.

But he attacked with all his strength. After the seventh move, the light circle at the tip of the sword appeared, growing from small to large, and the sword energy actually enveloped the three figures in it.

Luo Xiaoyao had never used this move 'Tenderness Like Water' before in any fight. However, the three people surnamed Yang felt that the sword energy was vast, as if the sword intent of the previous seven moves had been melted into it. They all felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but move closer to the center.

He stood up and drew his swords together, trying to break Luo Xiaoyao's sword energy with the combined strength of the three of them.

Luo Xiaoyao took a step forward and suddenly roared. The three worshipers surnamed Yang felt like thunder was piercing their ears, and their minds were shocked. They couldn't hold the weapons in their hands, and they all came out. There was a "choking" sound, but the weapons hit again.

At the same time, in a trance, he felt Luo Xiaoyao's sword intention restrained, and then heard a "dang" sound, and the sword fell to the ground.

It turned out that Luo Xiaoyao knew that his own power could not break the combined force of the three people. After using the 'Nianqing Sword Technique' in one go, he then borrowed the sound wave of 'Heavenly Thunder Sound' to disturb the minds of the three people and made them lose their weapons.

.

He was only slightly successful in the 'Tian Lei Yin' technique, and the sound wave range was only within one foot. He took advantage of the intimidating power of 'Tenderness Like Water' to force the three of them to fight side by side, and was able to use 'Tian Lei Yin'.

Powerful to defeat the enemy.

Amidst the cheers of the beggars, Luo Xiaoyao looked at the three worshipers surnamed Yang who looked ashamed, and said: "If the three of them came up one by one, they would use all their strength. I don't think I am my opponent. Today's feelings will be recorded in my heart."

That's it." After saying this, he suddenly made a move and waved the water dragon in his hand, and the weapon in the ground flew towards the three of them.

The three worshipers surnamed Yang caught the weapons, looked at each other, and bowed to Luo Xiaoyao at the same time: "Thank you, Mr. Luo..."

"Woo... Wu..." But after hearing the sound of the trumpet in the Liao army camp, Luo Xiaoyao raised his eyes and saw that Yan Zhongchang had disappeared. The flags in the camp were shaking, and he saw more than a hundred Liao soldiers rushing out of the camp.

, walked to the place where people turned their horses to their backs, and carried away the injured soldiers.

Luo Xiaoyao was surprised for a moment, but then he heard the surname Yang say: "This is the call to retreat. Our Daliao troops are about to retreat... Mr. Luo, I will see you again someday." After saying this, the three of them bowed their hands together and turned around.

Across the Liao camp, his figure was instantly submerged among the soldiers and horses.

Yang Gun originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. After learning that Zhou Bing's right army was defeated, he also had the idea of ​​defeating Guo Rong and becoming famous.

However, he was wary of Li Chongjin, who had 6,000 troops, and there was a risk that his horse might stumble when charging across the fields, so he sent 500 cavalrymen to turn left and pass through the village separated from Liu Chong's camp, hoping to rush towards Guo Rong's army and lure Li Chongjin to send troops.

Crossing sideways, the two thousand cavalry waiting in the camp rushed out again, disrupting Li Chong's troops and horses entering the cross-cutting formation.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoyao and others rushed out to block them, and the beggars released venomous snakes, which caused the cavalry to flip their horses and blocked the cavalry's sprint path at the entrance of the camp. Li Chongjin took the opportunity to push the formation across the field to set up defenses, and it became clear that he was waiting for an opportunity to attack.

potential.

Yang Gun knew that the opportunity had been lost and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​attacking Guo Rong's army. He would only send troops to attack again when Liu Chong, who had 30,000 troops, defeated Guo Rong and Li Chongjin led his troops to rescue him.

Concerned about the relationship between Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Siwen, he first asked Yan Zhongchang to send people to hold Luo Xiaoyao away. When the Han soldiers won and Li Chongjin led troops to rescue Guo Rong, he then forced Yan Zhongchang to personally take action and capture Luo Xiaoyao.

He thought that as long as he did not kill Luo Xiaoyao, Yan Zhongchang would not dare to delay the important military affairs, and he had an explanation for Xiao Siwen.

Unexpectedly, the Han army, which was several times stronger than the Zhou soldiers, was actually defeated, and Zhou soldiers appeared in the rear camp of the Han army to attack. Knowing that the situation was over, they had to retreat with their troops.

Looking at the dozens of Liao soldiers slowly retreating in front of the camp gate with their faces full of alert and ready to fire their bows, a beggar holding a bamboo stick came to Luo Xiaoyao who was standing with a sword and said, "Master Luo, what should I do now?"

?”

Luo Xiaoyao was pondering, but he heard a voice coming from behind him: "Xiaoyao..."

Turning around and looking around, he saw Jiang Qiubai arriving. He stepped forward to greet him and said, "I've seen my uncle..."

"Yes." Jiang Qiubai nodded and looked at the Liao camp, "The puppet Han army is in confusion and their defeat is certain. The Khitan people will not waste their troops working for the rebel Liu. Your Majesty guesses that they have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

Heart, it really is like this... Oh, Xiaoyao, you have accomplished a great feat this time."

Luo Xiaoyao glanced at the remaining corpses and injured horses on the ground, shook his head thoughtfully, and said to a beggar in his thirties beside him: "Brother Liang, look at these dead brothers, do they have any

Family..."

A sniper attack on the Liao cavalry out of the camp killed more than ten beggars and injured more than twenty others, but it was considered a great blessing. The beggar surnamed Liang nodded, "Yes."

"List their birthplaces..." Luo Xiaoyao sighed, "I'll ask Uncle Jiang to take credit for them..."

Jiang Qiubai knew his character and sighed inwardly. He got close and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, he will still ask questions if you don't mention the emperor. Six thousand right-wing troops who were eating the emperor's food collapsed without a fight, and more than a hundred of them begged for a living."

The people fought bravely to kill the enemy...sigh."

He turned around and bowed to the beggars and said: "Dr. Guanglu Jiang Qiubai thanked you all on behalf of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty. Jiang Qiubai of Taibai Academy thanked you all on behalf of the people of the Central Plains..."

After saying that, he jumped onto the roof of the village that was separated from Liu Chongzhong's military camp, looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "Let's go, take my uncle to introduce Uncle Fang that Xiaohu said..."

Luo Xiaoyao glanced at the Liao camp, which had already gone to the camp, nodded, and jumped to Jiang Qiubai's side. The two of them rose and landed on the roof next to the Han camp.

Looking up, I saw soldiers fighting everywhere in the camp, and on the road northwest of the rear camp, retreating soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were running. In the middle of the camp, a tent rooted to the ground suddenly rose into the sky.

The giant parasol took off and floated to the west. Amidst the shouts of exclamation, Fang Changsheng was fighting with an old man in blue at the place where the tent was flying.

Thinking that the two of them were fighting each other with all their strength, the tents around them moved this way and that with their strong energy, revealing an open space nearly ten feet long and wide. Many Zhou soldiers moved away from the place where the two were fighting.

Holding a sword in hand and watching closely.

The old man in green is tall and tall, and his boxing skills are very domineering. His robes are bulging, and every punch he makes is like a tiger coming out of the forest. At a glance, you can tell that he is a person who enters martial arts with his physical strength. He is vaguely known as Mingqiao Mountain.

Peak cultivation.

However, Fang Changsheng's palm moves are like lightning. Every time he receives a punch, he can also counterattack. The palm energy and fists collide, causing dust to fly on both sides. As the two people's bodies change, the battle circle becomes wider and wider.

, the soldiers watching the battle retreated one after another.

"The old man must have just entered the top of Mingqiao Mountain... I think I was really lucky. The distance was still far away at that time. He only had the power to hold a small amount of elixirs. If I had been more than ten feet closer, I might not have been able to catch his flight.

Arrow... And at that time, he should have had a third arrow, which must have been blocked by Mr. Fang..." There was still fear in his face as he spoke.

Jiang Qiubai's prediction was correct. When he threw the sword with all his strength, the old man was about to trigger the third arrow to kill him, but was stopped by Fang Changsheng's arrival. If not for this, he would have already closed the distance at that time.

, without a weapon in his hand, he would not be able to catch the third arrow, and Guo Rong's life could not be saved.

But after hearing Fang Changsheng's roar, his energy surged, and an overturned tent behind him suddenly began to flip, and instead covered the soldiers watching on the side, causing dozens of them to retreat and fall.

It is said that the more you fight, the braver you become. At this time, the true energy in Fang Changsheng's body has boiled and burst out with the continuity of his veins and blood. He kicked his right foot and struck the old man in green with the force of an arrow from his string.

.

Not to be outdone, the old man greeted each other with fists. When their fists and palms met, there was a loud "boom" and the surrounding dust lifted up like a cloud of dust curtain, covering the two figures.

Immediately after hearing two more shouts, Fang Changsheng and the old man appeared more than three feet high in the sky. However, they saw that their fists were paired again, and their bodies suddenly separated like lightning.

They flew several feet upside down and landed on the tent behind them.

As soon as the old man fell, his body suddenly disappeared, but he sank into the tent. He thought he still couldn't hold back in the tent, and the tent shook. But when Fang Changsheng reached the top of the tent, he raised his hands with both hands.

The front stack rolls around for a few times, as if it is a martial arts practice, and then gently falls to the top of the tent.

"With such fierce strength, his footing does not move at all. Mr. Fang's palm technique is probably unparalleled in the world. Even the "Bairou Palm" cannot be used to send and receive it so freely. How can such a person hide like a beggar?

...Xiaoyao, how do you know Mr. Fang and why Xiaohu and the others call him uncle?" Jiang Qiubai asked curiously.

Luo Xiaoyao glanced at the old man in green who had jumped out from the top of the tent, and responded: "He is the sworn brother of Qingqing's adoptive father."

Luo Xiaoyao remembered that Fang Changsheng had fought against him on the way to escorting Miao Changning's body back to Yaowang Valley. At that time, Fang Changsheng was in the state of spiritual consciousness. When they met in Xiangzhou, he also saw that he had entered the state of Baodan Xiaocheng, but he didn't expect it.

His palm skills were so powerful that he seemed to be as good as those who had mastered the elixir. I was very surprised, but thinking that I had made rapid progress in the past two years, I realized that everyone has their own destiny, so I smiled with relief.

At this time, the Han soldiers who had resisted had been wiped out. Surrendered soldiers who had disarmed and abandoned their weapons could be seen everywhere squatting on the ground. Tens of thousands of soldiers were staring at the field, nearly twenty feet apart, standing on the east and west tent roofs.

Above, Fang Changsheng and the old man in green.

The old man thought he was a fierce person. He glanced at the thousands of soldiers around him who were drawing their bows and ready to shoot. However, he suddenly moved and flew towards Guo Rong, who was nearly a hundred places to the south.

Jiang Qiubai and Luo Xiaoyao were frightened, and they both rushed towards Guo Rong without thinking. Now they were nearly three hundred feet away from Guo Rong. Even if they were in the Nascent Soul Realm, they could not stop them.

Jiang Qiubai stepped forward and shouted: "Stop him..."

"Whoosh, whoosh", the sound of arrow feathers suddenly sounded, and it shot towards the old man. At this time, Fang Changsheng stepped in the air, and like a bird, he flew diagonally towards the tent more than ten feet to the south. A little under his feet, another

He rose into the air and walked diagonally towards the old man in green clothes. He was already only more than three feet away from the old man.

Although the old man in green moved earlier than Fang Changsheng and gained nearly ten feet of distance, Fang Changsheng flew in the air and used his strength to make a vertical move, which actually shortened the distance by five to six feet. In addition, Guo Rong's position was biased to the east of where Fang Changsheng was.

Face, under the diagonal barrier, the distance was narrowed to nearly ten feet.

At this time, the flying arrows like raindrops fell one after another under the instigation of the two men's ki machines. Fang Changsheng, who was in mid-air, struck out with his right palm, but it hit the tent ten feet in front of the old man.

The tent was shaken by Fang Changsheng's palm, and it was overturned. The old man in green wanted to use the tent to escape, but now he had nowhere to use his feet, so he suddenly retreated and fell to the ground. At this time, Fang Changsheng's left palm followed, and he

Taking advantage of the momentum of flying in the air, the old man in green clothes had not yet settled his feet and could not avoid it, so he had to punch to meet him.

The sound of 'bang' shocked the old man in green and knocked him back repeatedly, crashing into the crowd behind him. The soldiers fell into pieces, and two of them even vomited blood and fainted.

After Fang Changsheng landed, he wanted to wave his palms forward, but fearing that he might hurt Zhou Bing, he immediately shouted "Back off..."

Even though the old man in green was at the top of Mingqiao Mountain, when he was still undecided and his true energy was changing, his energy and blood surged due to the shock of his palms. He was so busy that his chest was almost vomiting blood due to the pressure of luck.

But when he heard Fang Changsheng shouting for the soldiers to move away, he suddenly turned around and reached out to grab a soldier in the crowd behind him. Instead, he grabbed a soldier and threw it towards Fang Changsheng. Just as he was about to catch another person, a dragon roar sounded in mid-air, and the old man in green but

Feeling a terrifying sword energy strike towards his left shoulder, he rushed forward without thinking, leaping more than ten feet away. When he turned around and looked back, he saw a young man with a crown and a scribe in his forties standing two feet away.

, looked at himself coldly.

Luo Xiaoyao and Jiang Qiubai took advantage of the old man being blocked by Fang Changsheng and rushed over.

Jiang Qiubai looked at the old man for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "With your cultivation level, if you want to escape, you might still have a chance... How dare you dare to hurt my heart, the Emperor of Zhou, you are really asking for death..."

"Haha..." The old man in green suddenly laughed, and after a pause of laughter, he looked stern again, "I had no intention of doing anything in the court, but Guo Wei broke his word and plotted to usurp the throne and kill my young master. I will kill him today."

It's God's will to have no heirs... If you want to kill him, kill him, I've never been afraid."

Jiang Qiubai was shocked, but after hearing the old man talk about Guo Wei's plan to usurp the throne, he had already guessed who the young master he was talking about was.

It turned out that the young master the old man in green was talking about was Liu Chong's son Liu Yun. On that day, Guo Wei sent his troops south to appease Liu Chong, who was the governor of Hedong at that time. He pretended to support his son Liu Yun as emperor, and then retreated when Liu Chong

Later, with the help of the Chanzhou Rebellion and the Yellow Flag, he proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, but Liu Yun was killed on his way to Beijing.

But when he heard Guo Rong burst out laughing, he stepped out from the crowd of soldiers, looked at the old man in green and said solemnly: "The late emperor was benevolent and virtuous, and he was supported by all the soldiers. How could he usurp the throne?"

Luo Xiaoyao and Jiang Qiubai were afraid that the old man in green would make trouble, so they immediately retreated to stand beside Guo Rong.

"After the late emperor ascended the throne, he distributed the official farmland to the refugees, gave farming tools and calves for their permanent use, eliminated the cattle rent, reduced taxes, established new policies, and reformed the old ones. What was wrong with his plan?" Guo Rong's eyes sparkled.

Regarding the old man in green clothes, "He who is the ruler of the world will live there if he is virtuous, and he will live where the people's aspirations are. The late emperor planned a great plan for the people's livelihood, and planned a benevolent government. He was supported by the six armies. Why can't he change the dynasty?"
