The change in Fang La's expression was naturally seen in Chu Yi's eyes, and Chu Yi just smiled. Fang La was in danger without knowing it, not to mention whether Fang La had brought a strong man from Manichaeism, as he said
As he said, even if Fang Lazhen brought the powerful Manichaeans, if Chu Yi was willing, he could keep all the powerful Manichaeans in one battle.
He glanced at Fang La lightly and heard Chu Yi say: "Master Fang invited Fang to come out. I don't know why?"
Fang La calmed down and stopped thinking about Chu Yi's confidence. He looked at Chu Yi with a serious look and said: "According to what Fang knows, the situation of Prince Guangyang in the court is probably quite bad. This time
Your Excellency is a pioneer, but you only have 10,000 soldiers and horses deep into the land south of the Yangtze River. If that foolish king didn't want to borrow a sword to kill people, Fang Mou is willing to offer him the head on his neck."
In fact, anyone with a clear mind can see this, but this is Zhao Ji's conspiracy. Unless Chu Yi directly resists the order and disrespects it, otherwise, even though he knows Zhao Ji's plan, he has to accept the order.
It was not surprising that Fang La saw this. If the Manichaeans couldn't even see through this, then why would they rebel? They would just wait for death one by one.
Staring at Chu Yi, Fang La stroked his beard and said as if he was convinced of Chu Yi: "Your Excellency's ability to lead the army is indeed extraordinary. Even Fang admires it very much. Zhao Ji is a ignorant king and has no morals. For such
Foolish King, do you still want to die for me? Why don't you submit to Manichaeism, and you and I join forces to work together for a great cause, and in the future..."
Chu Yi laughed. Although he had some guesses about Fang La's purpose of inviting him to meet here, and even thought of Fang La leading people to ambush him, Chu Yi never thought that Fang La actually wanted to recruit him.
.
If Fang La is the master of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yi can consider pushing the opponent along the way, but Fang La is obviously not a master of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the uprising, they have allowed their thieves to plunder places and cause wanton killings. All officials, good or bad, have been killed by the rebels. It can be said that the bottom line has been touched. This alone can be seen as a manifestation of Manichaeism.
Rebellion has no future at all.
Before Fang La could finish speaking, Chu Yi slowly shook his head and said, "If Master Fang has nothing else to do, Chu will not accompany you."
His expression changed slightly, but Fang La was not too disappointed. He said with a smile on his face: "In that case, you and I will make a bet. If Fang can defeat you in the battle tomorrow,
How about you join me, Manichaeism?"
Chu Yi turned around and left, leaving Fang La with his back. A faint voice came: "If the Manichaean thieves don't change their nature, it will be difficult to become a great weapon. In the battle tomorrow, Chu will open up the net and leave a sliver for the Manichaean sect."
Life, Master Fang, please take care of yourself!"
After several ups and downs, Chu Yi's figure disappeared without a trace. As Chu Yi disappeared, two figures were seen walking out of the darkness. Who could it be if it wasn't Shi Bao and Fang Fei.
The two of them were both civil and military. Even if Chu Yi wanted to take the opportunity to ambush Fang La, with Shi Bao and Fang Fei there, Fang La would still be confident enough to kill him.
Fang La looked away from Chu Yi's disappearing figure and said: "Prime Minister, in your opinion, what are the chances of our Manichaean sect winning tomorrow's battle?"
Fang Fei pondered for a moment, and said with some certainty on his face: "Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Although I have to admit that Chu Yi's ability to command troops is indeed unparalleled by ordinary people, a mere group of officers and soldiers were led by him like elites.
Generally speaking, but our Holy Army of Manichaeism is not just a mob. It would be strange if we still can't defeat the official army even though it is several times larger than the official army."
Shi Bao, as a general, was responsible for commanding the Manichean army. He was trusted by Fang La with both civil and military skills. He opened his eyes and said with great confidence: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of Chu Yi. He's just a eunuch. Shi Bao is just a eunuch."
Tomorrow I will take the head from his neck and present it in front of the king’s case.”
In the evening, a large group of troops came in force. Although the military formation was a bit uneven, the huge team was full of high spirits.
Needless to say, this group of troops was the local Xiang army led by Hua Rong and Wu Song and recruited by Chu Yi.
The number of Xiang troops was almost uncertain, but in just one month, Chu Yi expanded it to a total of 50,000 troops.
These 50,000 Xiang troops were selected through careful selection of the young and strong, completely excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled. With the training methods given by Chu Yi, plus Wu Song and Hua Rong personally taking charge, this army
After these days of training, the Xiang Army is already comparable to the Forbidden Army in the capital. After a few more battles, these Xiang Army can become an elite division that surpasses the Forbidden Army.
In the tent, Chu Yi looked at Hua Rong and Wu Song who had prostrated themselves. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "If you two can arrive in time, the battle with the Manichaeans will be won or lost."
Yang Zhi, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing and said: "In tomorrow's battle, the Manichaeans only thought that their side had the numerical advantage, but they never dreamed that the admiral had already mobilized tens of thousands of troops.
People and horses can attack unexpectedly, and safekeeping can play an unexpected role."
Lu Junyi, Lu Da and others looked at Hua Rong and Wu Song, who looked tired after a long journey, and couldn't help but said: "It's been a lot of hard work for the two brothers this time. If it weren't for the two brothers traveling day and night, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible."
We may have arrived so far in advance, but I am afraid that the Manichaeans are still kept in the dark at this moment, and they even think that our reinforcements will not arrive until the day after tomorrow."
The second day
The sky is bright, and the bright sunshine shines on the earth, hanging high for a day. At this moment, with Qingliang River as the boundary, people and horses from both sides are already lined up and waiting.
Ruda, Lu Junyi and others were already neatly dressed, riding on tall horses one by one, looking at the Manichean army on the other side from a distance.
Similarly, Manichaean Shi Bao, Li Tianrun and others were also neatly dressed and looked at the officers and soldiers with excited faces.
Fang La drove his horse forward and laughed at Chu Yi from a distance and said, "Chu Yi, Fang's promise is still valid. If you are willing to surrender, Fang will definitely make you the King of Side by Side in the future and rule the world with Fang."
"
Chu Yi soared into the sky and drew his palm down towards the Qingliang River below. The river was immediately cut off. At the same time, Fang La seemed unwilling to lag behind Chu Yi. He raised his hand and pushed out, and immediately saw the person Chu Yi was holding.
The cut off river channel was instantly bulldozed, and a spacious road with a width of hundreds of feet appeared.
The generals of both sides, who had been preparing for a long time, shouted in unison, and saw Lu Da, Lu Junyi, Li Tianrun, Shi Bao and others taking the lead and rushing out of the military formation.
In an instant, figures collided one after another. Lu Da looked for Deng Yuanjue, Lu Junyi faced Shi Bao, and Li Tianrun faced Wu Song. The sword in Guan Sheng's hand hacked away dozens of Manis.
The priest shouted in a deep voice: "Who dares to fight with a certain person?"
One of the generals beside Fang La waved Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and shouted with a roar: "A certain Fang Jie is here, don't be so presumptuous!"
As Fang La's nephew, Fang Jie can be said to be the first person of the younger generation of Manichaeism. He was only about 20 years old and reached the realm of heaven and man not long ago.
There are absolutely very few people in the world who can compare with him, which also makes Fang Jie's temperament become aloof and arrogant. It can be said that in Manichaeism, except Fang La's words, Fang Jie does not take anyone's words to heart.
Now seeing Guan Sheng killing the Manichean soldiers there, Fang Jie couldn't help but jump out.
Guan Sheng's eyes fell on Fang Jie, he narrowed his eyes, slapped the horse under him, and immediately roared out, slashing his head with the big knife in his hand and said: "Younger, I will die."
The strong men on both sides found their opponents and started fighting, but for a while it was difficult to tell the winner.
The soldiers and horses of both sides collided with each other at this moment. On the road that was hundreds of feet wide, there were not many soldiers from both sides who could fight together, only a few thousand people.
Fang La couldn't help but frown when he noticed this, because in this way, their numerical advantage would not be apparent.
With a slight snort, Fang La stepped hard, and a force suddenly spread out, and the river in front of him was like an earth dragon turning over, and the river hundreds of feet in length was turned over in an instant.
Looking at the path he had opened with great satisfaction, Fang La looked at Chu Yi with a bit of complacency.
I thought Chu Yi would look ugly, but Fang La saw Chu Yi standing there with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't care about the melee at all.
Chu Yi's reaction couldn't help but make Fang La feel a little helpless as if his fist was hitting the empty space. However, Fang La took a step forward and appeared a few feet in front of Chu Yi. He looked at Chu Yi solemnly and said: "Chu Yi
, our side has an absolute numerical advantage. It can be said that the overall situation has been decided. If we continue to fight, apart from increasing casualties, it will not change the outcome. Fang’s promise is still valid..."
Chu Yi said calmly: "Isn't Master Fang afraid that the wind will flash his tongue?"
His face changed slightly, Fang La laughed loudly and looked at Chu Yi and said: "Well, since you are so stubborn, Fang has no choice but to make this move!"
While speaking, Fang La was heard saying: "Master, please help Fang capture this person."
As Fang La finished speaking, a Buddha's call was heard: "Namo Amitabha!"
Along with the Buddha's name, several figures rushed out from the Manichean army in an instant. They were several monks. The leader was the famous Zen Master Fayan in Jiangnan. The other three were the three disciples of Zen Master Fayan, Keqin.
, Huiqin, three monks from Qingyuan.
Looking at the sudden appearance of several monks, Chu Yi showed a bit of surprise, but soon a look of understanding appeared on his face.
It is obvious that these few must be eminent Buddhist monks, and the reason why Buddhism participated in the Manichean rebellion and even sided with Fang La must be because of the decree of the state master Lin Lingsu and Zhao Ji to transform Buddha into Taoism.
With a slight salute, Chu Yi looked at Zen Master Fayan and the others and said, "I wonder what the names of these masters are?"
Zen Master Fayan clasped his hands together and proclaimed the name of the Buddha: "The poor monk Fayan has seen the donor, and the sea of suffering is boundless. It is difficult to turn around, but the donor is destined to be my Buddha. It would be better to enter my Buddhist door to practice pure cultivation..."
Chu Yi said with a smile: "The Zen master is joking. If the Zen master doesn't meditate in the mountains, why should he enter this calamity? Aren't he afraid that these hundreds of years of practice will be wasted in one day?"
Fayan's expression changed and he sighed: "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? If there really is such a calamity, the poor monk will just go through it."
After the performance, the three monks heard the words and saluted together: "Namo Amitabha!"
Fang La on the side said impatiently: "Master, help me!"
While speaking, Fang La took a step forward and reached out to grab Chu Yi.
Chu Yi didn't see any movement, but his figure suddenly stepped back and at the same time, holding the sword in his hand, he swung forward in the air. Suddenly, folds of the void were faintly visible in the void, and the space was almost torn apart.
Seeing this, Zen Master Fayan couldn't help but recite scriptures, and he turned his hand to strike the Buddha's palm. Suddenly the Buddha's light appeared, and a huge Buddha's palm came down hard towards Chu Yi.
At the same time, the three monks Huiqin, Keqin, and Qingyuan also took action at the same time. The Buddhist beads flew out from the hands of the three of them, targeting several vital points on Chu Yi's body.
A total of five heavenly beings took action at the same time. Even a strong man like Lu Junyi or Zhou Tong, who had defeated all the invincible opponents in the world, would probably have to kneel on the spot.
After all, whether it is Zen Master Fayan or Fang La, they are both strong men among gods and humans. With the help of the three monks Keqin, Huiqin and Qingyuan, looking at the world, there is no one who can stop them in the realm of gods and humans.
Only the five heavenly beings can join forces.
Chu Yi sighed softly, and the luck altar shook slightly. Suddenly, the luck turned into firewood and burned fiercely. At the same time, the aura on Chu Yi's body soared crazily. When the attack of the five heavenly beings came, the aura on Chu Yi's body
The momentum also reached its peak, the bottleneck was instantly broken, and a terrifying aura filled the air.
"Hiss, Heavenly Master Realm?"
In just an instant, the three monks Keqin, Huiqin and Qingyuan were blown away by the sudden burst of breath from Chu Yi's body, while Zen Master Fayan and Fang La took a few steps back against the severe pain in their hands.
Zen Master Fayan's face flushed, he stared at Chu Yi and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What? Heavenly Master Realm, this is impossible. For hundreds of years, Heavenly Master Realm has become a legend. No matter how amazing and talented people are, they can never think of breaking through the tranquility and entering the Heavenly Master Realm."
Manichaeism has a long history. As the leader of Manichaeism, Fang La obviously knows many secrets. If this great world had not come and the shackles of the bottleneck of the realm of heaven and humanity had not been loosened, there would still be very few heavens in this world, and they would never be what they are now.
In this way, it doubled several times.
But no matter what, Fang La and Fa Yan never thought that there would be someone in this world who could break through the realm of heaven and humans and reach the legendary realm of heavenly master.
Thinking back to a hundred years ago, it was also a time of great strife. The world was turbulent and strong men emerged in large numbers. No matter whether they were talented and brilliant people like Zhao Kuangyin, Duan Siping, Murong Longcheng, Xiaoyaozi, etc., they were not just in the realm of heaven and man.
This was the case a hundred years ago, and it will be the same a hundred years later, so when Chu Yi suddenly broke out and faintly entered the realm of a heavenly master, Fang La's reaction was so surprising.
There is a saying that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you may die in the evening.
Zen Master Fayan stared at Chu Yi with infinite hope in his eyes, and said with a bit of trembling: "Has the donor really stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Master?"
Zen Master Fayan, as a veteran heavenly being in Buddhism, has been trapped in the realm of heavenly beings for decades. He longs for further progress but cannot get it. However, now he sees hope for further progress in Chu Yi.
, even the wise heart of Zen Master Yi Fayan could not help but tremble with it.
Chu Yi pointed at Zen Master Fayan with a distant finger. Zen Master Fayan suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. His whole body trembled slightly. The next moment, he was clicked by Chu Yi, and all his cultivation was banned.
Fang La couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw this scene, and his figure suddenly retreated. His cultivation level was a bit worse than that of Zen Master Fayan, but Zen Master Fayan was not the enemy of Chu Yi. It can be imagined that
If Chu Yi wanted to target him, he might have been suppressed by Chu Yi.
Fang La watched the three monks Keqin, Huiqin and Qingyuan rushing towards Chu Yi. They were restrained one by one without even taking three moves in Chu Yi's hands. The chill in his heart became even more intense. At the same time, he understood why Chu Yi clearly didn't take advantage of Chu Yi.
What advantages does it have, but he looks like he doesn't care about it.
One celestial being can change the outcome of a battle, let alone a strong one in the realm of a celestial master. As long as Chu Yi is willing, let alone an army of only 50,000, even if it is doubled, it will not be enough for a celestial master.
Suppressed by the powerful.
The four heavenly beings didn't even take Chu Yi's moves. Fang La was so frightened that he hid in the army. Even so, Fang La didn't feel safe in his heart. Looking at Chu Yi's figure from a distance, he felt like
Like an invincible god or demon.
Even though the shouts of killing were ringing all around, the army was suppressing the imperial soldiers and horses, and victory was in sight, there was no trace of joy in Fang La's heart.
Chu Yi looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. The sound shook the surrounding areas, just like a signal. An extremely loud roar came from the distance, and then the earth shook. A black crowd of people and horses roared towards them. The leader was not Wu Song or Hua Rong.
