Under the inspiration of the "incarnation king", he dragged his decayed body to the battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, but he did not meet the officers and soldiers, and soon after leaving the city, he fell on his heel - broke his right leg, recuperated for several days, and finally had no worries about his life, but he could no longer stand up, so he could only sit on a chair and be carried by someone.

This did not affect his status, but won great glory, the incarnation army rumored that the ancestor king made a slight trip in the sky, tripping the archmage, the purpose is to let him stay in the world, but after ascending to heaven, the divine power increased sharply, this stumbling did not take a good hand, so that one of the archmage's legs was broken.

In short, Liu Jiuzhuan's disability is not simple, but the imprint left by the gods and Buddhas, which can be called "divine waste".

Liu Jiuzhuan gladly accepted this statement, and since then has developed a habit of reaching out and gently rubbing his discarded right leg whenever he is not going well with someone, and sighs with understanding, as if he is receiving a message from heaven.

This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and no one dares to refute the face of the archmage.

Only the trick of the Golden Saintess is not good, Liu Jiuzhuan has already rubbed the legs of the gods to a little painful, and the Golden Saintess is still unmoved.

"I am not for myself, but for the ancestral king, for the new king, for all the soldiers of the incarnation, especially for the sake of the Golden Saint Maiden......"

"I'm the Descendant General now." Xue Jinyan corrected.

"This is a false title, which King Wu uses to bluff you."

"My father possessed King Wu and came to the world, you saw it with your own eyes, and a few days ago he was still respectful of him like a god, why did he suddenly ...... Changed your attitude? ”

"Not suddenly at all." Liu Jiuzhuan pressed his right leg, there were no outsiders in the house, and he could speak freely, "I've been thinking, why did King Zu have to choose King Wu to possess him at that time?" These days, I have been thinking day and night, and I often have some understanding, as if the ancestor king reminded me in the sky......"

"What do you feel?"

"King Zu possessed King Wu, not because he admired him, let alone to pass on the throne to him, on the contrary, because King Wu was a pure mortal, and he didn't have to worry about accidents. The ancestor plucked lightly, and I still fell my leg, and there will be trouble in the possession. ”

"King Wu has nothing to do."

"Not now, there will be later. I figured it out, the ancestral king didn't choose the young king and the golden saint...... The general who came into the world felt sorry for his children and couldn't bear to hurt them. ”

"Hey." Xue Jin shook a sneer.

"It's true!" Liu Jiuzhuan firmly believed in his own judgment, "Although King Wu was possessed, he had no respect for the ancestral king and the descending army, and after seizing power, he never worshiped the gods and Buddhas again, and he didn't even look at us mages. He only wants the people who come to the world, and now that he has a new man, he has to abandon the old man. ”

"What new, old?"

"The officers and soldiers who surrendered were newcomers, and after King Wu got the Luozhou soldiers, he was overjoyed, and everyone looked at home. Finally won a big victory, and King Wu did not divide the captives into slavery for everyone, but wanted to reuse them and rely on them. Rumors say that King Wu wants to use the King of Xiangdong, Cao Shenxi and other people to replace the generals who came to the world, and kill all of our old people, leaving only ordinary soldiers, if anyone is not satisfied, they will also be killed, anyway, he already has Luozhou soldiers, and he doesn't need the army to descend into the world. ”

"Nonsense." Xue Jin scolded, "I will send you to King Wu, and you will confront you face to face." ”

Liu Jiuzhuan kept rubbing his legs and sighed: "The Golden Holy Maiden is the daughter of the ancestor king, why don't you listen to my bitter advice?" ”

"This is not your loyalty, it is slander, provoking my love with King Wu." Xue Jinyan didn't correct the salutation.

"Why doesn't the Golden Holy Maiden understand? King Wu has no 'affection' for anyone, he was hunted down and killed by the Tiancheng court, and had to defect to the descending army, what was the result? The people who accepted him at the beginning were either killed or driven away, but he rose step by step and seized the power of the whole army. King Zu, King Ning, King Jin, King Shu, and King Wu's subordinate Meng Shenglun and others are all lessons from the past. ”

"There are reasons for the defeat of kings, and as for the ancestral king, he ascended to heaven by himself."

"The ancestral king ascended to heaven by himself, but the person who did it is still unforgivable, and the people in the city have seen it, all the kings have been defeated, and the murderer King Liang is still there, think about it carefully, when the ancestral king was killed, King Wu may not have been involved......

"The left one is a 'rumor', the right one is 'not necessarily', there is no half a truth, and you still say that you are not provoking?" Xue Jin shook his voice, unwilling to listen any further.

Liu Jiuzhuan refused to stop there, "The Jingzhou army is about to arrive, and King Wu asked the descendant army to go out of the city to meet the enemy, isn't this a rumor?" This is an obvious frame-up. ”

"It was I myself who asked to lead the army to meet the enemy, what harm did I suffer?"

The Golden Holy Maiden asked to go to war, but King Wu didn't even say a kind word, obviously he was in a hurry to let the Descending Army and the Jingzhou Army both lose and be injured, so that he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Otherwise, he had just gotten the Luozhou soldiers, why didn't he let them meet the enemy? ”

"The Luozhou soldiers were attached at the beginning, and the army's morale was unstable."

"Hey, when King Wu just descended to the World Army, he didn't care if the army's heart was unstable, in order to fight for him, we killed more people than in the previous dozens of battles combined."

The incarnation army was "inspired" by the ancestral king, bravely killed the enemy, regardless of life and death, and was willing at the time, but the survivors gradually gave birth to various ideas afterwards, especially Liu Jiuzhuan These people, seeing King Wu possessed with their own eyes, the first batch of believers, but also the first batch of doubts.

"That's how to fight a war, how can there be immortals? The army had never taken such a large city before, nor had it been surrounded by so many officers and soldiers, of course, there were more casualties, not to mention that I personally led my troops out of the city at that time, and I didn't let them retreat. ”

Liu Jiuzhuan shook his head in disappointment, "If, I mean, if King Wu really has the scheming to let the Descendant Army go out of the city to die, what should the Golden Holy Maiden do?" In that case, you will not only kill yourself, but also countless soldiers, not to mention the family members in the city, the young king has not yet been established, and without the protection of the Golden Holy Maiden, he will not live for three days......"

"Enough! Why don't you 'supple' your son kill you for your property? ”

"My son is long dead." Liu Jiuzhuan was stunned.

"I believe in King Wu, and you have to believe it too. Wu Wangzhi is in the world, and his power will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the descending army will naturally appear weaker and weaker in it. Our rebellion is to establish a human Buddha state, not to fight for power. King Wu believes that whether he is born into the world or not, since the ancestral king chooses him to possess him, Maitreya can choose him as the Buddha king. ”

"But my legs have always felt it, it must be the ancestral king......"

"If your leg hurts, use more medicine, and if it doesn't work, cut it off."

Xue Jinyan was not good at words, but Liu Jiuzhuan was speechless when he said this, and said for a long time: "King Wu doesn't even enter the room of the Golden Holy Maiden these days, and you still believe him so much?" ”

"I believe he has ambitions and nothing else to do. Liu Jiuzhuan, I respect you for your old age and high moral prestige, don't worry about you, you go back to recuperate, you don't have to go out of the city with me, but keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense, if I hear you fanning the flames, don't blame me for not thinking about the 'old man'. Promote the doctrine of the incarnation, in my absence from others. ”

Xue Jin shook to the door, called someone to come in and carry Liu Jiuzhuan away, and got on the horse with his weapon, preparing to go out of the city to meet the Jingzhou army.

In Yecheng, which is more than 1,000 miles away, there are also two people talking about King Wu.

Zhang Shiyu, the prince of Jibei City, returned to Yecheng ahead of schedule and escaped the defeat, and was indignant after hearing the news, and came directly to the county lord of Huanyan, "The building is too disappointing, and he did such a treacherous thing!" ”

"He has changed his surname to Xu." The county lord showed no anger.

"The surname has changed, but the nature cannot be changed. Alas, I should have woken up a long time ago, when he was in the Eastern Capital, he had been concealing and using it, without telling the truth...... Only you saw through him and kept saying that he was not to be trusted. ”

"King Wu is credible."

"Huh? How did you become inconsistent? ”

"King Wu is credible, but on the battlefield, he pursues 'soldiers are not tired of cheating', of course, you have to plan everywhere, you are deceived because you don't know the occasion."

"Do you speak for him at such times? The Jizhou army was defeated, my father has no news in Jingzhou, your father's life and death are unknown, Yecheng lacks a major general, if it is attacked, how can it be defended? Building ...... Xu Ji is proud this time, he will definitely send troops to capture the city, where else can we escape? ”

"Run? Why run away? ”

"If you don't run away, will you wait for death? Whether Xu Ji is credible or not, he is ruthless enough now, if the city is broken, you, me, and my sister will not be able to live. ”

"He won't come to Yecheng, and he won't dare to come."

Zhang Shiyu's expression eased slightly, "The county lord has already prepared?" ”

"Well, especially after learning that my father had gone to invite the general, I stepped up my arrangement."

Zhang Shiyu's face was happy, "What did the county lord arrange?" Let me know about it too. On our side of Yecheng, the only person who can compete with Xu Ji is the county lord. ”

"Don't talk flattery, I still need your help in my arrangement."

"I will listen to you as long as you arrange it."

"He Rongbu's army is less than a hundred miles away from here, you go to see your father-in-law, please say hello."

Zhang Shiyu was taken aback, "He Rongbu is obviously in Bingzhou, why did he come here?" ”

"I have sent someone to invite them here, and I have promised to make you emperor as soon as possible, and the daughter of He Rongbu as empress."

"I can't be the emperor!"

"I'll talk about this later, in short, you go to see your father-in-law, marry his daughter, and be a peacemaker at the same time."

"Peacemaker?"

"Well, the intermediary said that he and He Rongbu and the Shen family in Bingzhou, let them strike the army and join forces to go south to Luozhou together?"

"This ...... How can it be? ”

"The Shen family can't ask for it, He Rongbu is for fame and profit, and giving it to them is, as long as the land is not lost, everything is bearable."

Zhang Shiyu stammered.

Lord Huanyan continued: "If the king of Jibei can act according to my plan, he should be able to persuade Jingzhou to send troops. Dongdu has a little respite, and will face a siege on three sides, and I don't believe he can win again. ”

"Three-sided? Now there are only the Jingzhou army in the south and the He Rong army and the Shen family army in the north......"

"There is still the army of the Sheng clan to the east."

"The Sheng clan took refuge in Jiangdong, how could they help us attack the Eastern Capital?"

"The Liang and Lan families are unpopular in Jiangdong, although they hold the emperor hostage, they only occupy a stone city, the counties and counties are in disobedience, the Sheng family saw that it was difficult for a long time, and sent people to Yecheng to sue for peace, I accepted it and promised your sister to the Sheng family."

"Which sister?"

"Release."

"She is already married to Xu ......"

"There is no real name, the Sheng family doesn't care, as long as you are the emperor, they will be happy to accept this family business and switch to Yecheng."

"I ...... I really can't do it, the county lord of Heze uses the people of our family to win over the group. ”

Lord Huanyan showed resoluteness on his face, "The price I will pay will not be less than your family, you will know later." ”

"Just to make me emperor?"

The county lord of Huanyan glanced at Zhang Shiyu and said coldly: "In order to defeat him." ”

"But...... Do you hate him so much? ”

"This is not hate, this is ......" Lord Huanyan didn't know what it was, and said after a while: "The total score is the winner." ”
