Journey Starts From Wudang

"Ming Na Zha, led two thousand men and horses, and waited in the city. If Na Chao Lei and Chao Tian brothers, they plan to retreat and attack immediately to coordinate with Nangong. Flanking it, and grabbing its headquarters in one fell swoop!"

Everyone knew that Lu Zhi had already planned for it, and if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed true.

So everyone stopped talking, they received military orders and started to act.

On the other hand, after Chao Lei returned to the camp, he immediately looked towards his brother Chao Tian persuading him to surrender, and was scolded by Chao Tian until he said that Xiqi’s current coach is Lu Zhi. , Chao Tian's face showed a bit of movement.

When Chao Lei saw this, he drove the railway while it was hot: "Brother, I know you are loyal to Chaoge, but don't forget that if it wasn't for Marshal Lu to improve rice seed, he taught me Chaoge Manmin’s new cultivation method. Fa, if I have been waiting for my starvation to die, hundreds of people in my Chao Family Village have already starved to death in that famine year!"

I wait, I can’t forget this kindness? Now the opportunity is right in front of me. Why should my brother directly lead his sergeants and surrender Marshal Lu?"

Chao Tian was silent for a few seconds and said:" So what should I do with my old father and mother? What should I do with the folks of Chaojiazhuangzi? He is still in that Chaoge!"

"If I wait, then Chaoge is there. After receiving the news, I am afraid that I will be implicated by my two brothers when I wait for my old father and mother. How can I bear to be my brother?"

Chao Lei said with a smile: "My brother is confused, this How could I not think of the matter, Brother? I reported it to Marshal Lu a long time ago, and made a plan with Marshal Lu."

"Brother, you lead the sergeants to surrender Marshal Lu, brother I am Hurrying to Chaoge, under the pretext of reporting the military situation on the front line, he quietly picked up the family and brought them to the city of Xiqi to reunite. In this way, my family was naturally safe."

Hearing this, Chao Tian hesitated. In a few seconds: "This plan may be possible, but am I going to be the traitor?"

Chao Lei sighed and said, "Brother, in front of you today, brother, I might as well speak up. Now, these years, you and I have seen the impunity done by the king in the dynasty songs. Isn’t it less?"

"For so many years, I have waited to follow the Imperial Tutor to fight together. Xixiu, has the world been peaceful? Not only there is no, but the chaos has increased. The princes of the Eight Hundred Roads have turned over half of them. This Yin Shang Jiangshan has already been shaken by wind and rain."

"And" he looked up at Chao Tian, ​​"I heard that the Imperial Tutor sent my two brothers to Xiqi during this trip. Can't my brother see it? I was treated as an abandoned son who can be abandoned at will!"

This time, Wen Zhong only sent the two brothers of Chao Tian and Chao Lei to lead three thousand troops to Xiqi. The army went deep alone, and there were no reinforcements behind. He was only intending to test Xiqi.

It’s okay if Xiqi’s side is unwilling to openly rebel. He can also spy back a few pieces of information and go back to deal with each other, but if Xiqi has already decided to fight against business directly, these three thousand people will be there. I am afraid that Xiqi will eat thoroughly in no time!

So they were just an abandoned son that Wen Zhong discarded casually to test Xiqi's attitude. With this arrangement, how could Chao Lei not have any thoughts in his heart.

In the final analysis, his brothers and brothers are not Wen Zhong’s direct lineages. They have not been taken seriously for so many years, and now they are regarded as abandoned sons for temptation to test Xiqi even if Lu Zhi is cast down. There is not much guilt in his heart.

After all, it was the favor of Lu Zhi that year that prevented his family and villagers from starving to death in that famine year. This is a great blessing to life, plus Wen Zhong did not pay much attention to him, etc. It is even more chilling to treat him as an abandoned child. What if he simply drops?

Chao Tian made up his mind and raised his head and said: "Brother, you don't have to say it anymore. After you figured it out for your brother, he led the sergeants and voted for Marshal Lu!"

"Brother you also quickly return to Chaoge, and bring me and my family to Xiqi to reunite."

Chao Lei said with a smile: "Brother and rest assured, I will be the young and old at home. Bring back all your safety."

Xiqi Barracks, handsome account.

"Report! Martial Uncle Lu, Marshal." Nezha entered the handsome account and reported, "The Chao Tian outside the city, has led three thousand sergeants under him, came outside the city and surrendered. Please also ask the marshal to come and accept the surrender himself."

Lu Zhi laughed, that Chao Lei did not live up to his trust.

However, the candidate who was sent to the rear for mining has to be found again. I don't know when Chaoge City will send the next batch of captive laborers to the next batch of troops.

Lu Zhi got up and said: "Let’s go, Nezha, go with this commander to meet Na Chao Tian and his sergeants."

Successfully accepted the first part of Chao Tian Sergeant, waited a few days later, Chao Lei led a thousand people Wen Zhongzeng's reinforcements and a family of young people to vote. Xiqi's soldiers were not bloodless and did not pay the slightest cost of casualties, so they easily won the first battle. Victory.

In turn, he even added four thousand soldiers and horses, two Liang generals, and when Wen Zhong and Chao Ge got the news, they almost vomited blood without anger.

But so far, Chaoge and Xiqi can no longer coexist, and the battle of destroying the country has completely begun.

The attitude and deeds of Xiqi’s side, the heart of rebellion has been revealed, Chaoge naturally can’t tolerate it anymore. Even if the order is called to gather heavy troops and march straight to Xiqi, it’s necessary to do it in one fell swoop. Destroy Xiqi.

Chaoge's party convened an army to advance, and Xiqi's party also received the news immediately.

Then Wenzhong ordered the Azure Dragon gatekeeper Zhang Guifang to assemble an army of one hundred thousand men. This time is no better than the three thousand men and horses of Chao Tian Chao Lei last time. , Clearly came with the heart of Mei Jue who destroyed the country and Po County!

Therefore, after receiving the news, Lu Zhi and the others did not dare to take the slightest care. Even if they gathered all the generals and ministers in Xiqi, they discussed together how to win this battle.

However, the speed at which Zhang Guifang’s army came was not slow. Before they could formally discuss a process, someone came to report that Zhang Guifang had led the army to the outside of Xiqi City. Stationed less than ten miles outside the city.

Without a half-incense stick, someone came to report that Zhang Guifang's army was already under the city wall, shouting and yelling under the city wall. The power is terrifying. Please everyone hurry up and sit down.

Chapter 21. The Art of Falling Horses by Calling Names

When everyone came to the city gate, there were no soldiers on duty at the city gate, and the city gate was also open. Only 3 or 5 people were left to guard the city gate. It was not until Jiang Ziya spoke out to find out from those people that the soldiers guarding the city gate had gone out of the city to fight Zhang Guifang without authorization!

Hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but a look of anger on his face: "Who is on duty at the city gate today?! Without the command of the commander, why dare to lead soldiers out of the city to fight!"

The generals couldn't help looking towards Shen Bo. He usually arranged for the guarding of the city gate.

Turning Lu Zhi with everyone and looking at him, Shen Bo complexion slightly changed and said: "The marshal, the person on duty at the city gate today is His Royal Highness."

p>

"Uncle?!" Ji Fa heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

His Highness Qian in Bo Shen's mouth is Ji Shugan, but Ji Chang Twelfth son, Ji Fa’s younger brother, because he is good at martial arts, he has also learned a good martial arts, and now he is anti-business in Xiqi , Ji Shuqian naturally also voted into the army as a general.

Ji Fa is frowned, turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhi’s expression, and saw Lu Zhi’s face sinking into the water. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Uncle Ji’s arbitrariness. I expected to wait for Uncle Ji to return. I am afraid that a military baton would be absolute Inevitably.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything, just thinking, when Uncle Ji returned, Lu Zhi punished him, if he was tortured severely, he would plead for him. After all, he is his own brother, so Lu Zhi can't really kill his younger brother, right?

However, when Uncle Ji came back from work, he didn't even have the need to plead for him.

Just listen to the roar of horseshoes from outside the city gate, and then see a defeated soldier who lost his helmet and unarmed looting into the city, shouting and hurriedly close the city gate to avoid the enemy. Take advantage of the situation to invade.

Lu Zhi turned his head and looked around, and saw that there were only a dozen people left in the broken army. On the back of the head of the general, there was a headless corpse.

"What's going on! What happened?!" Lu Zhi asked out loud.

"Ah! Marshal!"

When the soldiers saw Lu Zhi, their complexion was greatly changed, and then the leader turned over and jumped off his horse. , He knelt down and said: "Marshal, Prime Minister, and Martial King, you are finally here!"

"His Royal Highness, he is dead!"

Lu Zhi's expression is slightly cold, scolded: "lift the head for this commander! What's going on, explain clearly to this commander without omission and in detail, why you are in a rout, and why you are the only one waiting for you How many people will return to the city?!"

The general did not dare to raise his head, but bowed his head to the ground, crying and said: "Previously, Feng Lin, the pioneer of Zhang Guifang's tribe, called for an invitation to fight under the city. His Highness was angry. Under the circumstances, I led me to wait out of the city to fight, and I wanted to cut off the scorpion."

"Who knows, that Feng Linxiu has a strange art, which can emit black smoke from his mouth, and there is something hidden in the black smoke. A red bead immediately smashed His Highness Qian to his horse, and chased him with a stick to kill him. Our army was defeated in an instant."

"Then Fenglin also cut off the head of His Highness Level, if you want to bring back the merits, the final general desperately died, and only snatched the body of His Royal Highness and asked the Marshal to forgive him!" Looking at the headless corpse above, the look on his face instantly became gloomy.

Jiang Ziya and the others have also changed their colors, and Ji Fa has already screamed and wailed, and while wailing, he pounced on the dead body of Uncle Ji.

"Uncle, my brother! How did you go for your brother first?! How did you tell Wei brother to explain to your mother?! My brother"

Everyone looked ugly. Lu Zhi also suppressed his anger, and asked: "Are you the only dozen of you who have escaped? Where are the others?"

He was stagnant, but he did not answer. It was not until Lu Zhi asked again that he promised: "I waited for the body of His Royal Highness to be snatched back. I just wanted to bring His Royal Highness back to Xiqi as soon as possible. , But he didn't pay attention to other people."

Lu Zhi's expression was severe, and he couldn't suppress his anger.

"So courageous! As your lieutenant, but you failed to protect the Lord, you fled after the fact, discarding your robe and ignoring the people who came! This person was dragged off by this commander and cut off! The rest! Wait, all go to jail, wait to be sent down!"

"Marshal, please take your life! In the end, the general just wants to bring back the news and the body of His Royal Highness as soon as possible."

Lu Zhi doesn't want to Pay attention to this person again, let the person drag him down, and then ordered it again.

"Nezha, Huang Feihu obey the order! This commander ordered you two, and immediately led a thousand people to go out of the city to meet my trapped soldiers in Xiqi, this commander will personally lead the army and hold you in the rear ."

"Final will obey!"

"Yes, Marshal!"

Wait for Nezha to meet Huang Feihu’s soldiers trapped outside the city After returning to the city, an accident and riots subsided.

But on Ji Fa's side, there was a trouble again.

He who had just sent the body of Uncle Ji back to the palace, was cried and scolded by the heartbroken old mother, and finally asked him to go to the first level of Lieutenant General Ji Shugan at the Zhang Guifang camp to snatch it back. If otherwise, if Shushu Ji couldn't bury the whole body, she would also go with her son!

In desperation, Ji Fa had no choice but to perfuse, and then immediately returned, telling Lu Zhi about the matter.

Lu Zhi glanced at Ji Fa and knew his thoughts in his heart. It was nothing more than that he wanted Lu Zhi to be the villain and rejected the old man.

However, considering that Jicheng is a son of man, it is indeed not good, and he cannot refuse his mother's plea, and Lu Zhi can only come.

"His Royal Highness Martial King, sending troops at this moment is a faint move to destroy soldiers and replace generals. This commander is impossible to order."

"And forgive me for being blunt, this time Uncle Ji did not respect the commander's order. , Attacked without authorization, and violated the military regulations. After that, his defeat and death also caused the morale of the three armies to decline. The commander did not chase him down, so it was for the sake of his loyalty and martyrdom."

Ji Fa hearing this, didn't say anything, just sighed, then turned and left.

After all, he also knows that sending troops at this moment is undoubtedly a very stupid thing. If it weren't for being forced by the old mother at home, he would not specifically come over to look for Lu Zhi to behave.

And Lu Zhi now refuses, he has already given an explanation from the old mother, so he won't be embarrassed anymore.

It is night, Lu Zhi and the others are making a calculation.

Because Huang Feihu was an official in Chaoge and was in charge of the world's military and horses in the past years, Jiang Ziya looked towards Zhang Guifang and asked if Huang Feihu had any knowledge of this person's ability.

Huang Feihu replied: "That Zhang Guifang is also famous in the song of the Dynasty, and in the early years, he also served as a value for the final general, and the final general also knows some of his deeds. Ability."

"Zhang Guifang, the commander of the soldiers is self-explanatory, otherwise the Imperial Tutor would not select him as the coach to attack me in Xiqi."

"Another point to note is that Zhang Guifang is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has a cultivation technique, the art of cultivation, but those who are called by his name will suddenly lose consciousness and get rid of the horse, so I waited. This person must beware of this technique."

Jiang Ziya hearing this couldn't help but be shocked, and said: "There is such a strange technique in this world? If this is the case, then how should I deal with him? This is the art of sacking the horse?"

With that, he couldn't help looking towards Lu Zhi: "What does the marshal think about this? Is it possible to recognize what kind of secret technique this is?"

Lu Zhi disapprovingly said: "This commander doesn't even know it, but depending on its appearance, it's just a kind of unorthodox way that makes people's soul divorced. It's not Xuanmen rectification, as long as the three souls are stable enough, or There is a treasure to protect the Divine Soul, and the art of falling off the horse is naturally useless."

Listening to Lu Zhi's words, Jiang Ziya suddenly felt that Guifang's secret art seemed not so invincible.

Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "In this way, that Zhang Guifang's secret technique can only be shown to the ordinary person, but it is useless to me."

Lu Zhi glanced at him. After thinking about it, he decided to save a little face for this Junior Brother and didn't speak bluntly.

I just hope that Zhang Guifang can also give Jiang Ziya face, and don’t use the slamming technique to deal with him. The time comes, and it’s really shameful to be slammed down by Zhang Guifang’s shout.

Lu Zhi said: “It’s better to be cautious, but Nezha is the incarnation of a lotus flower. The soul has been combined with the body of the lotus. It is the nemesis of that Zhang Guifang. Nezha, you go out to fight and capture him."

Chapter 22. Jiang Ziya: trifling vultures

The next day, the eastern sun did not rise, and Zhang Guifang had already led it. The one hundred thousand army coerced under the city of Xiqi, apparently because of the fact that Uncle Ji was killed in the battle yesterday, which made his army prosperous, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to expand the results.

Wouldn’t it be better if you could directly defeat Xiqi in a spurt of energy?

So when it was only five shifts, Zhang Guifang had already assembled an army early, burying the pot for cooking, and when the sun was rising, he had directly led the army to the city of Xiqi!

Lu Zhi and the others stood on the head of Xiqi city, watching that Zhang Guifang rode his horse to the front, shouting loudly, let Xiqi generals go out of the city to answer.

Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya were unwilling to lose their reputations. Lu Zhi also felt that Zhang Guifang should be out of the city for a while, so he ordered the main general Xiqi to summon soldiers and confront them out of the city.

Xiqi’s one hundred thousand troops came out of the city, and immediately stood in line with the one hundred thousand troops led by Zhang Guifang. The two black army formations, one north and one south, faced each other less than a hundred meters apart. Solemn killing aura makes the temperature between Heaven and Earth seem to drop several degrees.

When Zhang Guifang saw the people in Xiqi, Dang even urged to come immediately, pointing to Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya, and Huang Feihu angrily against him for waiting.

"Jiang Shang, Huang Feihu! You two betrayed the ministers, today this commander led Chaoge’s 100,000 heavenly soldiers to come, don’t you hurry to dismount and accept the surrender?"

Seeing him turn his head and looked towards Ji Fa: "Ji Fa boy, what virtue do you have, and dare you to become a king? If you are acquainted, hurry up and report a list of sins to Chaoge. In this way, the king, Rende, may still save you as a boy. Let you stay in Xiqi."

"Otherwise, if the commander gives an order, Chaoge Heavenly Soldier will immediately level you Xiqi and turn you Xiqi into powder. When the time comes, I regret it. It's late!"

Jiang Ziya and Huang Feihu didn't have much reaction, but Ji Fa's complexion was a bit ugly. Zhang Guifang took a mouthful of a child, and he really hated him.

"Zhang Guifang, you led the army and invaded me Xiqi, you dare to be so impudent today, don't you know that I am Xiqi is your Land of Buried Bones?!" Ji Fa countered.

"hmph! Ji Fa child, it looks like you are Won't shed tears till you have seen your coffin, and that's the case, I will lead the army today and beat you to Xiqi!"

After saying this, Zhang Guifang pointed the Usuki spear in his hand to Xiqi's side, shouted: "Who is the leader to fight, and kill the Xiqi thief!"

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard. !"

With a cry, the crowd suddenly rushed out of the black-clad man with a Cooling Dragon stick.

I saw him rushing towards the side of Xiqi while riding his horse, and shouting loudly: "Who will come to fight in Xiqi?!"

Here in Xiqi The generals on the side were full of anger, and they also recognized that the general was Zhang Guifang's vanguard general Feng Lin, and he was also the one who killed them Ji Shugan on the side of Xiqi yesterday.

"Marshal, a certain general, please order to fight!" Nangong said next to Lu Zhi and asked to fight.

However, Lu Zhi did not agree. Although the martial power of Nangong Shi is not weak, the Fenglin opposite is cultivation and secret skills, perhaps for those who are successful in cultivating, it is just an unorthodox way. This technique is nothing to worry about, but it is a killer move that cannot be dealt with by ordinary generals.

Yesterday, their side was considered defeated. The Fenglin cut Ji Shuqian and vented the morale of his three armies, but today there can be no more defeats.

"General Nangong, that Fenglin cultivation has a secret technique. It is not fair for you to fight against it. You must retreat. Where is it?"

"Where is it!"

"This commander points you out, to take down Fenglin, and bring back the head!"

"Nezha get the order!"
