Just like a criminal rushing to the execution ground, it was really wonderful to let Zhang Gui and other Zhang family's disciples see with their own eyes what Jiang Wan did and how he prayed for rain.
Jiang Wan felt very clear in his heart, knowing that everything that happened today had nothing to do with the so-called God.
What he hates is that the children of the Zhang family, headed by Zhang Gui, ignore the common people and set fires wantonly, and also intend to incite these people to oppose the imperial court... Human life, in their eyes, has become a piece of grass that can be wiped off at will.
s things.
"The heaven and the earth are not benevolent and regard all things as stupid dogs?"
Jiang Wan looked at Zhang Wei with a fierce look in his eyes.
"When did you have the right to compare yourself to God? When did the common people become the targets you can treat as stupid dogs?"
There was no point in talking anymore. Jiang Wan turned away and stopped looking at Zhang Xu and others. At the same time, the army sent by Cao Cao finally caught up with this rare rain-seeking activity.
People like Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Zhang He and others all had strange expressions on their faces - when they saw the person standing on the altar that had begun to take shape, it turned out to be the one who had been strategizing in front of them and winning thousands of miles.
Jiang Wanshi, this sense of contrast will definitely make people extremely shocked.
"Have the generals found the young men and children I asked the Prime Minister to look for?"
"Ah! Found it! Six champions, six children, all three boys and three girls - but Gong Yan...this...the reason for doing this..."
Xiahou Dun scratched his head and pointed to one side. There was already a pair of soldiers and horses in front of the street on the other side, leading several boys and girls walking slowly towards the altar. However, he was puzzled... When did Jiang Wan
Do you understand these evil ways?
"Shh..."
Jiang Wan just made a loud gesture, and Yi Xiaotian told him that these things were just for deception, but...as long as they are handled properly, they can play a role that even the army cannot achieve.
The most important thing is to keep it mysterious.
Now is not the time to explain to Xiahou Dun and others.
Xun You saw that Xiahou Dun seemed to have a lot to say, so he buried his head directly, rushed behind Xiahou Dun, grabbed Xiahou Dun's collar and retreated to the outside.

The ceremony was quickly prepared. In fact, only two hours had passed since Cao Cao led his army into the city.
If the smoke and dust produced by the fire in the sky had not blocked the sunlight and moonlight, people would not be able to tell the current time.
A little later, with Jiang Wan shouting loudly, the practice began.
Jiang Wan drew dragons and fish with his pen, and danced his sword in the wind. At this moment, he was wearing a white robe and a high crown, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable elegance.
God was really kind to me. Heavy rain was coming, but the sky was shrouded in mist, and no one noticed the gathering of dark clouds. Many people have not dared to look at the sky until now, only for fear of the bloody color illuminated by the firelight.
, panicked.
In this case, the wind came.
A strong wind blew, and the ribbons and clothes of Jiang Wan's crown fluttered in the wind. The people exclaimed that they were coming to the gods, and they were especially pious when they knelt on the ground.
Zhang Wei stared at this scene dumbfounded from beginning to end. The more he watched, the more desperate he became.
"Have I been...abandoned? Have I...all my life been abandoned by God in the end?"
"Brother...you...can you tell me...what happened?"
Zhang Wei's muttering to himself was regarded as disrespectful to Jiang Wan. At this moment, Jiang Wan was the agent of God in the eyes of the people. The angry people on the side hit Zhang Wei on the crook of the leg with a long stick, forcing him to kneel down.
land.
Humiliation and despair can easily completely destroy a confident person.
But Jiang Wan doesn't care about this.
From the moment he was able to lead the people, he already acted like a winner in everything he did.
Next, is the finishing touch.
"The bather! Let's dance!"
Suddenly, Jiang Wan slashed the knot hanging in mid-air in front of him with a sword. As the talisman fell to the ground, the previously selected men and women entered the scene one after another.
They danced around the field one after another, wearing clothes similar to Jiang Wan's, with sacred and serious expressions.
Of course they don't know how to dance, and they may dance in a disorderly manner in the eyes of others. At this moment, in front of the people who have been infected by the atmosphere, it has become the most devout worship to the gods.
This ritual has been going on.
No one dared to leave easily until Jiang Wan shouted stop.
But what about the facts?
The fact is that of course Jiang Wan cannot control the rain at any time. He only knows that according to the method Pang Degong said before, there is a high probability that it will rain tonight.
Now he was also a little nervous. Others were praying for God's forgiveness, but he was praying for the rain to fall soon.

laugh…
The fire in the city is still burning.
It’s not that Jiang Wan was doing what he was doing, so Cao Jun stopped putting out the fire.
After all, tens of thousands of troops are dispatched, and if they work together to do one thing, they can probably do it.
But unlike ordinary fires, Zhang Wei, a man who could kill a thousand people, had to use oil to ignite the oil depot. Although the explosion was indeed shocking, when it came time to put it out, it became extremely difficult.
Another sound...chirp...
"You...did you hear anything?"
In front of the original site of Zhang's Oil Depot, where the fire was most intense, countless soldiers of Cao's army were afraid of the fire. They could only use water from wooden barrels to suppress the spreading fire.
Jiang Wan did not just pray for rain.
When he was walking with Cao Cao and others just now, he told Cao Cao that if the fire was too strong and difficult to put out.
It would be better to directly isolate the area with the hottest fire from other areas in the city.
In other words, since it is impossible to put out the fire by creating an area that cannot burn, waiting for the fire to burn everything in the area is another way.
Now, this is what the soldiers are doing.
Xu Chu came, bringing with him troops and horses in uniform, which injected a wave of fresh strength into the exhausted Cao army. After taking over the fire scene, he was indeed fully prepared.
It's just that... anyone who sees a fire burning an ancient city wantonly for hundreds of years or thousands of years will not feel too good.
"Huh? Is it me...do I feel wrong?"
A soldier asked a question just now. Xu Chu stood outside the fire scene and didn't take it seriously. Now... even he felt it.
He put it on his cheek in disbelief - it was wet and cool, it was...
"It's raining?"
The patter--
Under everyone's unbelievable gaze, drizzle began to fall from the sky at some point.
There was very little rain, and some of it fell over the fire, and even evaporated without any effect.
