Chapter 368: The Origin of the Eight Immortals

"Real person," Cao Jingxiu saluted Zhang Guoshen and said, "My suggestion is to fight Quzhou, Wuzhou, Yuezhou, Hangzhou, and then take Jiangnan." ”

This was the highest-level meeting of the Heavenly Master Army, and in addition to Zhang Guo, there were also the Eight Immortals of the Heavenly Master Army in attendance.

The Yamen of Hongzhou Zhizhou has become the garrison of the Heavenly Master Army, and for the future development direction, Zhang Guo let the Eight Immortals speak freely.

"Cao Jingxiu, isn't your road the old way of Fang La." Li Ningyang disagreed with Cao Jingxiu's opinion: "Fang La went all the way up like this, and then suffered a big defeat in Hangzhou, and then collapsed. It can be seen that this road does not work. ”

"Tie Guan Li, how can you treat the Heavenly Master Army as Fang La's group of waste." Zhang Guo was unhappy when he heard Li Ningyang's words.

He has a very good opinion about Li Ningyang returning with the elite of the 500 Heavenly Division, and Li Ningyang himself injured one leg and became lame.

Li Ningyang was shot by Qiu Chen and injured his left leg, fortunately, the bullet grazed the past and did not hurt his muscles and bones, he is only lame now, if he is hit by Qiu Chen's bullet, Li Ningyang will not be so lucky as a lame leg. Amputation is the minimum, and if you don't get infected, you will lose your life.

Now Li Ningyang has a nickname among the Eight Immortals: Tie Guan Li. Because he had to walk on crutches.

"Zhang Guo Lao'er," Li Ningyang was furious, after he was lame, he hated people to talk about his body the most, so he directly added the word "Lao'er" to Zhang Guo: "Even though the Heavenly Master Army is elite, but the Song Kingdom has been in business for a hundred years, and there are many generals, we follow Fang La's old path, won't it fall into the hands of others." ”

"Don't quarrel with the two of you, let General Li talk about his plan first." He Xiangu came out to play a round.

"Humph!" Zhang Guo snorted angrily and stopped talking. In fact, he does not necessarily support Cao Jingxiu's suggestion, but he is more dissatisfied with Li Ningyang. Because the Heavenly Master army was full of more than 10,000 people, and 500 men and horses were already a large force, as a result, Li Ningyang lost most of the losses at once, and only more than 100 people were withdrawn from Liguojian. This made him feel that Li Ningyang was a waste.

"Real person," Li Ningyang no longer ignored Zhang Guo, he said to Zhang Guo: "According to my meaning, we should march to Poyang Lake, go up along the lake, and take the three cities of Dehua, Jiangzhou, and Hukou." Then use this as a base and go down the Yangtze River to fight from top to bottom, so that you can take advantage of it and quickly take the cities along the river. Within half a year or less, we will completely control the south bank of the Yangtze River, so that the Yangtze River will be in danger with the enemy. ”

"Go on." Zhang Guo nodded and motioned for Li Ningyang to continue.

Although Li Ningyang was disgraced in Liguojian, Zhang Guo didn't blame him. Because Li Ningyang is for his younger brother and nephew, if he doesn't do it, his relatives' heads will fall off.

So no matter what, Zhang Guo remembered Li Ningyang's love, and he was also injured and lame.

"True person, if all the south banks of the Yangtze River are collected by our Heavenly Master Army, then the worst case is to be able to divide the river with the Song State. In the best case, if we develop for a year or two, we will be able to sweep the world and unify the United States. ”

"How?" Zhang came over interested.

"Fight for the world, the first thing is money and food. Jiangnan fish and rice are famous all over the world, and after taking Jiangnan, our Heavenly Division Army will not worry about running out of food. And now the place of copper production, Mo Sheng is in the southeast. Such as the copper outline of Cangzhi, Nanlong, Mengchun, Huang Zhuofeng, Changji, Dianshan, Lutou Villa, etc., Zhuji's Tianfu, Yongjia's Chaoxi, Luotong's letter, Pucheng's pulp, Youxi's Anren, Dutang, Hongmianzikeng, more than 50 institutes, mostly copper, silver communism. This is where the money of my Heavenly Master Army lies. ”

Everyone who said this nodded one after another. Li Ningyang didn't look lame, but his brain was still as smart as ever. No wonder he can become the head of the Eight Immortal Generals.

"The iron mines in the five counties of Yongchun, Anxi, Dehua, Jinjiang, and Hui'an under Quanzhou will provide sufficient armor and weapons for the Tianshi army. This is all from heaven to consult Your Majesty. If you can take the Yangtze River coast with rapid momentum, and then lie dormant for three to two years, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky and sweep away the six wildernesses. ”

"Not bad!" After hearing this, Zhang Guo nodded again and again. This is actually what he has been thinking all along, but as the supreme commander of the Heavenly Master Army, it is inconvenient for him to say it directly.

Now that Li Ningyang's words have reached his heart, how can this not satisfy Zhang Guo. And he also calls himself "Your Majesty", hahaha, this is simply too confidant.

"Ning Yang's words are very much in line with my wishes, but now that we have just started something, we are still far from being successful, so everyone should not persuade me to be the emperor, this point, I have made up my mind. If you don't destroy the Song Kingdom, you won't be the emperor. ”

Everyone nodded. They were satisfied that Zhang Guo could calmly recognize the situation, and that he was dizzy and anxious to claim the throne of the emperor without being taken a Hongzhou.

This is Mingjun!

"Whether I call the emperor or not, it doesn't matter at all now. One of the important things now is that your name must be louder. Zhang Guo smiled and said to everyone: "It has been more than 100 years since Zhao Kuangyin took over the world of the Chai family by despicable means. In any case, at present, people's minds are determined, and we must have a clear understanding of this. If we talk about people's hearts, there is no doubt that we do not have an advantage. ”

When Lu Dongbin heard this, he said: "The real person is wise. This is indeed the current situation. It's just that how can our Heavenly Master Army turn the people's hearts to our side? ”

"That's why I said I want to polish your name. Zhao Ji is just the emperor of the world, and our Heavenly Master Army must be the spokesperson of the fairy world. Otherwise, why do I claim to be under the throne of Yuan Shi Tianzun, Cihang Zhenren. Fools, believe only in this. Now you understand why I called you the Eight Immortal Generals in the first place! ”

Li Ningyang and others suddenly realized. At first, they thought that the Eight Immortals were just a joke. How can you think that the Heavenly Master hides such a great avenue.

"Zhao Ji and his group of courtiers were made up of a bunch of nondescript titles by Lin Lingsu, what immortal emperor, what Jiuhua Jade is really Concubine An, it's really ridiculous. You must know how fools can remember such a verbose name. Our name should be simple, but our background should be legendary, such as Dongbin. ”

"Please show it to a real person!" Lu Dongbin was respectful.

"I arranged for you to arrange the life experience for Tang Dezong Zhen Yuan 14 April 14 birth, born when the fragrance is full of room, there are white cranes flying into the account is not seen, since childhood, can be literate at the age of ten, fifteen years old can be martial, proficient in hundreds of scriptures, in infancy, Matsu saw and said: "Here the bones are extraordinary, from the city dust place. When he meets Lu Zeju, he will detain the clock when he sees it, and pay attention to it." ”

"Tang Baoli won the Jinshi in the first year, because he was tired of the chaotic times of the soldiers and the people, he abandoned the fame and wealth in the world, and came to Jiufeng Mountain on Zhongtiao Mountain with his wife to practice. and his wife each lived in a hole, which was relatively hopeful, so he changed his name to Lu Dongbin; 'LΓΌ' refers to two couples, both of whom are LΓΌ, 'dong' is a cave where they live, and 'bin' is to tell people that they are guests in the cave. ”

"Your Taoist name is Chunyangzi, and before you abandoned your official position and ran away, you gave away Wanguan's family property to the poor, and did many good things for the people. In the process of cultivation, he happened to meet the immortal Zhong Liquan and worshiped him as a teacher. After cultivating immortals successfully, he traveled all over the mountain to relieve the diseases of the people, and never asked for any reward. ”

When Lu Dongbin heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Liquan, one of the Eight Immortal Generals, but he didn't expect Zhang Tianshi to arrange the two of us like this.

"So you have to remember that in the future, in addition to leading troops to fight, you will also have to practice medicine. Passing on medicine to the world, educating everyone's hearts to the Heavenly Master. ”

"Disciple remember!" Lu Dongbinzu is a doctor Langzhong, and he has first-hand medical skills. Zhang Guo made up stories from person to person, which made Lu Dongbin have to admire the genius of the Heavenly Master.

"What about the disciple?" Li Ningyang hurriedly asked. He's lame, and that's not a good way to make up. How can an immortal be lame?

"Ning Yang, you can't do this." Zhang Guo immediately said: "When you were young, you were famous for your talent and intelligence in Pakistan, and Taishang Laojun rode a bull to travel to Pakistan by chance, so he ignited you." Then you go to Huashan to learn the Tao and visit the immortals, and finally become enlightened in the stalagmite mountain. ”

"But the disciple's leg ......"

"This leg has a lot of origins. Listen to me. Zhang Guo swept the dust and continued: "You succeeded in the road that day, and you can get out of the body by refining the Yuan Shen, so you will go out to play in the world with the Yuan Shen, and leave your body to the care of your disciples. But after seven days, the disciple thought that you would never come back, so he incinerated your body. In this way, you return to the stalagmite mountain, and you can't find your own body, but at that time, your avenue is new, your divine skills are limited, and the original god can no longer be unsettled, and at this time, you happen to see a lame beggar who is drunk to death, so you take his house and become what you are now! ”

"......" Li Ningyang was almost speechless when he heard it. The talent of the Heavenly Master is a hundred times higher than me! He couldn't make up this story.

"Heavenly Master, so the disciple still needs to get a wine gourd to hang on the iron cane, which is even more worthy of the name."

"The talent of Ningyang, one point is penetrated!" Zhang Guo laughed.

Next, Zhang Tianshi arranged a story for everyone, so that the eight immortals in the world would become the eight immortals in the sky.

Tie Guan Li, Zhong Liquan, Zhang Guolao, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guoshu each have their own stories, each of which is extraordinary, and their names quickly began to spread.

In this time and space of the Great Song Dynasty, the people especially believed in these. Even the emperor admires Taoism, can the people not follow suit? The saying of the Eight Immortals is like a spring breeze overnight, and it begins to blow in all directions.

And the Eight Immortals will use the name of the gods to fight more easily.

In the time and space of the Great Song Dynasty, the most important thing is even to say that the only way to transport troops is all kinds of rivers and rivers.

Hongzhou has three rivers and five lakes, and the convenience of this geography is not fake.

Moreover, Hongzhou is one of the largest shipbuilding bases in the Great Song Dynasty, and most of the Tianshi army are southerners, good at boating, so the battle line is like a bamboo, in a short period of time, the Tianshi army not only won Dehua, Jiangzhou, Hukou, and even Pengze, Dongliu, Chizhou, Tongling have been conquered.

Now that Tie Guan Li has just laid down Dangtu, it is only a few days away from Jiangning Mansion, which is Nanjing in later generations.

After taking Jiangning Mansion, the Yangtze River basically fell into the hands of the Heavenly Master Army, and since then the Great Song Dynasty has almost no place to cross the river.

The battle reports converged like snowflakes and hit Bianliang in the capital, which made Zhao Ji and a group of ministers so anxious that their hair was almost gray.

They really didn't expect the Heavenly Master Army to march so quickly and with such strong force. The cities along the river are almost as if no one is defending, less than one day, more than three or five days, and then the owner changes.

This made Zhao Ji so angry that he almost set his beard on fire. At this rate, in another seven or eight days, the south of the Yangtze River will be returned to Zhangguo, and it will no longer belong to him.

No, order Han Shizhong as soon as possible, as soon as possible, seize Jiangning Mansion, and be sure to stop the offensive of the Heavenly Master Army here.

At the same time, he strictly ordered the Zhijia army to speed up the journey and rush to Jiangning Mansion to join the Han family army as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhao Ji wanted to send Tong Guan to the front line, but because of one thing, he didn't dare to send Tong Guan out.

The fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi, came. Not only did he come to talk about the sale of the remaining cities, but Zhao Ji found from his speech and demeanor that Jin Guo seemed to be dishonest and wanted to fight himself.

Today's Jin Guo is not a grandson in Zhao Ji's eyes, it is more Lao Tzu than Lao Tzu. After all, the Jin State defeated the powerful Liao State, and the fourth prince of the Jin State also brought him a piece of news that Yelu Yanxi of the Liao State was a guest in the Jin State.

What kind of "guest", is it really bullying yourself for not being educated? Zhao Ji understands very well that this is Yelu Yanxi being arrested by the people of the Jin Kingdom. Maybe they're hanging up and pumping right now.

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Ji shuddered. He thought that if he was hung on a beam and subjected to hundreds of whips every day, he estimated that he would not survive a day.

In fact, this is Zhao Ji's serious underestimation of himself.

Historically, he has not only persevered, but also persevered for a long time. He died three years after he was captive.

But now he doesn't know what will happen next, so in the face of the threat of the Jin State, he not only does not dare to send Tong Guan, but also does not dare to move the rest of the Western Army anymore - all give me strong troops and horses to guard against the Jin State.

This made Han Shizhong a lone army, and he hurried to the Yangtze River with more than 10,000 forbidden troops.

When he was about to cross the river, he received great bad news: Jiangning Mansion was lost.

Han Shizhong shouted: The sky is going to die!

If Jiangning Mansion is lost, all the cities on the Yangtze River will be lost. Now if you want to cross the river, you have to go to Taixing and Jiangyin. However, the convenience of the Heavenly Division Army to occupy the water transportation of the Yangtze River is to go to Taixing Jiangyin, and the Heavenly Division Army also arrived first.

How good is that!

The Yangtze River moat has all been classified as enemy countries!
