Everyone begged for a long time, and Lu Zhen sighed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Separated by a moat, there is at least a distance of more than ten zhang between the two sides, and it is said that this low sigh cannot be heard in the city, but it is clearly heard in the city, as if it is ringing in the ears.

Listening to Lu Zhenren's speech again, he was relaxed and freehand, and he didn't tear his throat out and howl like the golden armor general in the city, but people could hear every sentence and every word clearly. And this voice is round and full, and the aftermath is lingering, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can make.

Xianyin, the absolute immortal sound! This realization arises in the hearts of all who hear it.

I only heard Lu Zhenren say with pity: "Have mercy on my world, there are many sorrows; For the sake of my world, I am willing to be damned. Let's just let me do this, and the wrath of the heavenly thunder will be borne by me alone. ”

Everyone in the city wept in unison and said: "The real people are merciful, and the grass people will worship the real people day and night and pray for the real people." ”

At this time, the Zhennan army under the city was reluctant, and the officers were excited: "The prince can't, how can he suffer from heaven's punishment for these chaotic people?" Let's attack the city and set foot on this depraved city! These words caused more than 100,000 soldiers to respond in unison, and the mountain shouted and said: "Swear to defend the prince to the death, swear to take Xiangyang City!" ”

Lu Zhenren said in his heart, these people have entered the play. But also, even I can't tell whether I'm the king of Longjun or Lu Zhenren, so I won't be reduced to a half-immortal, right?

Suppressing his thoughts, Lu Zhenren said in a clear voice: "The generals are noisy. "This time there was no thunder, and more than 100,000 people immediately quieted down.

"The war in Shannan and Jiangbei has been in turmoil for two months, with nearly one million dead and wounded, it can be said that every family is clothed in linen, every household wears filial piety, and there are enough dead people, and the blood shed has dyed the Naihe River in the underworld red. The eighteen layers of hell are crowded with new ghosts waiting to be punished, and there is no place to stand, and I can no longer bear to let you wait to die in vain. ”

Someone in the city asked loudly, "Then do we have a place in the Pure Land of Bliss?"

Lu Zhenren said with a smile: "You have to listen to the nonsense of Prince Longhua, only those who sincerely worship the Buddha, are pure and self-controlled, and are dedicated to goodness can ascend to Bliss." If you don't put down the butcher's knife, you will fall into hell and never be reborn. ”

When Maitreya Buddha's friend said something, the Maitreya disciples immediately panicked and said with tears in their eyes: "Please rescue the real person, please save the Buddha......"

At this time, the real person showed pity on his face, and sang aloud: "Give me a branch of cinnamon in exchange for his thousand years of youth; Will be my thousand years of youth, in exchange for the knife to stop, I will not lose, do not lose. The glorious image of Lu Zhenren's compassion and sacrifice for the people immediately deeply penetrated into the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone is stupid, what a good fairy......

After finishing the song, Lu Zhenren took out an extra whisk in his hand and said solemnly: "Everyone is noisy, I want to travel to the underworld and negotiate with the king of Yama." So saying, he closed his eyes and stood there with his eyes closed, clubbed like a wooden stake.

After a little half an hour, even if Lu Zhenren asked the Maitreya disciples to open the city gate, it was estimated that it would not be too much of a problem, not to mention that it was just silence. There was silence on the field, and even the sound of the war horse's snort could be heard clearly.

After a long time, Lu Zhen opened his eyes and said in surprise: "It's strange, why don't you Buddha girls in the underworld?" ”

There was a commotion at the head of the city, and some people were unwilling to say: "We Buddha girls must have gone to Bliss, and I ask the real people to go there to find them again." ”

Lu Zhenren laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I want to go wrong." If you continue to be silent, I will go and return. As he spoke, he was lying there like a clay pestle, motionless.

Everyone's hearts were tightly gripped, and they didn't even dare to gasp.

After an unknown time, Lu Zhen's figure flickered, and his soul returned to its place. He opened his eyes and smiled: "You Buddha girls are indeed in the Western Bliss......

As soon as the words fell, the people in the city cheered in unison, and begged eagerly: "Ask the real person to help you quickly!" ”

Lu Zhenren laughed and said, "It's already here!" With a wave of the dust in his hand, there will be a ring in the air, the fairy music is melodious, a cloud of auspicious clouds condenses and forms on the high platform, countless delicate petals are sprinkled down from the auspicious clouds, gently fluttering around the clouds, and after a while, the high platform will be dressed up and down in a gorgeous and colorful way.

The petals of the flowers fell in the middle of the formationβ€”and the attention of the sergeants was easily taken away by the pink color. Everyone couldn't help but guess in their hearts, how stunning the fairy who appeared in the flower rain should be?

Some of these petals fell on the city in the wind, and the cultists trembled and stretched out their hands, carefully catching a thin patch of purple or red. They know that the Buddha woman who helped the poor and warmed people's hearts is back. Looking at the small petals in his hand, countless rows of muddy tears puffed down, wetting the delicate petals, but leaving a little crystal ......

The auspicious clouds finally dispersed, and a woman with a light veil appeared on Lu Zhen's side in such a manner.

I saw her wearing a pure white long skirt that fell to the ground, and the corners of her skirt swayed in the breeze, which made her even more fluttering, and she did not eat the fireworks of the world. The style of the long skirt is very simple, without the slightest embellishment, only a ribbon of the same texture is gently tied around the waist, but the infinitely beautiful figure is subtly outlined. The hair shawl like a waterfall hangs down, and the occasional green silk flutters in the wind, which looks even more out of the world, and it is indeed not like a mortal woman.

Although the veil is light, everyone who has seen the Buddha is sure that this is her - the kind of true and natural compassion, the calmness from the inside out, which makes people feel at peace, and just wants to let go of all disputes and live a simple and warm life.

The eyes of the woman in white under the light veil were covered with a layer of mist, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she said softly: "You have suffered." ”

When the people in the city heard this, they knelt on the ground and wept silently, like a group of children who had been bullied by outsiders and finally saw their mothers again.

Amid the crying, someone shouted, "Put down the drawbridge, we will go out of the city to meet the Buddha girl!" This proposal aroused the approval of countless people, but the entire city defense was controlled by the Shannan Liukou, and they had no feelings for the Buddha, they only knew that there were hundreds of thousands of Zhennan troops outside who wanted to kill them, and they couldn't open the door if they were killed.

The devout believers who were close to the city gate tower suddenly clashed with the Shannan Liukou, and the two sides were already deeply resentful and frictional. It's just that the Shannan Liukou are all outlaws, who bluffed the Maitreya disciples who were several times their own with vicious spirits, and took over the city defense by relying on Gong Liangyu's chaotic life, so they killed and seized in the city.

The Maitreya disciples, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, were beaten by a group of outsiders and were powerless, and their hearts were naturally aggrieved. At this time, seeing the Buddha girl coming back from the dead, she suddenly had a backbone, rushed to the city gate tower like a tide, and in a blink of an eye, she flooded the sparse Shannan Liukou, and controlled the noose of the lifting suspension bridge in her hands.

Prime Minister Hu Cheng and the others saw that the situation was not good, so they wanted to quietly stay in the city. But it was clearly seen by Lu Zhenren, who had been watching coldly on the other side, and he handed a color to Qiao Yunsheng, who was covered with a veil. Qiao Yunshang hesitated, but still lightly opened his lips and said, "Take down the Shannan bandits first." ”

Prime Minister Hu Cheng and others, who were already about to walk down the city, suddenly became the target of everyone, and were driven back by the disciples who flocked up from the city, and they fell into a heavy siege.

Prime Minister Hu Cheng shouted miserably at the high platform: "Lu Zhenren, help......" but suddenly found that the white smoke rose again on the high platform, and no one could be seen again.

This cloud of white smoke was his last impression of the world. There was a whistling sound in his ears, and Prime Minister Hu Cheng felt that someone had hit him the top of his head, and the white smoke became blood-red and blood-red, red like blood......

After the loud voice of General Jin Jia read out the three guarantees made by Qin Lei in his capacity as the "governor of the military and political affairs of the two provinces of Jiangbei and Shannan", to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the people in the city, to ensure that the faith of Maitreya followers will not be deprived, and to guarantee that he will not be blamed for the past. The drawbridge finally fell, and groups of heavily armed soldiers of the Zhennan Army drove in and quickly took over the city defenses. Xiangyang City, which had fallen for two months, returned to the hands of the Great Qin army.

Looking at Qiao Yunsheng, who was riding a white horse and drifting into the city, Qin Lei, who had already changed into his usual clothes, sighed lightly with melancholy on his face.

Shi Dang, who was guarding behind him, glanced at Shi Meng, and Shi Meng leaned forward and asked softly, "Lord Wang, since you are reluctant, why do you want to let her go?" ”

Qin Lei glanced at Shi Meng in slight surprise, and scolded with a smile: "Married men are stupid, and they are not worthy of discussing this issue with Lao Tzu." ”

Shi Dang on the side listened to it, and whispered: "I don't understand either?" ”

Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said in a strange voice: "I'll understand when you get married." As he spoke, he ignored the two who were as stunned as wooden chickens, and turned around and walked towards the king's tent.

The two of them were a little misunderstood, although my fair lady and gentleman were good, but Qin Lei was not a person who loved the other, and Qiao Yunsheng's identity was complicated, and the two had almost no possibility of being together, so Qin Lei really thought about what to do with Qiao Yunsheng.

But the appreciation of the good is a common trait of human beings; It is the nature of all normal men to have a good impression of beautiful women, and Qin Lei is also normal. Especially Qiao Yunsheng, a beautiful woman who is captivating to the country, will naturally make Qin Lei pleasing to the eye and look at it differently, and involuntarily tease the hearts of other girls. As for how the girl's family will feel, Qin Wuye, who is not very experienced, does not know.

After dark, Yang Wenyu, who entered the city, came with the news that all the bandits in Shannan had been cleared. The cathars also surrendered, and Xiangyang City was completely controlled by the Zhennan army.

Hearing this news, Qin Lei, who had always been worried in his heart, was relieved, you must know that there are nearly 300,000 Maitreya disciples in the city, although the city gate is wide open, but if there is a slight change, it is difficult to say whether it will cause a backlash! If he really has 100,000 Zhennan troops, he will naturally not be afraid, but how many people are there in Zhennan army? Do you want to defend along the river? Being able to give Qin Lei those 70,000 people is the limit, and it is impossible to have one more. And these 70,000 people also have to protect the second capital of Jingzhou and Tangzhou, besiege Fancheng Mansion, and support Xiangyang Lake......

Therefore, except for Qin Lei and Yang Wenyu, there are less than 30,000 people, and the remaining 70,000 or so are all people who were temporarily brought from the direction of Jingzhou Mansion.

Don't look at the fact that these people and Maitreya disciples are essentially peasants, but if they really fight, even if they are fully armed by the wealthy revival yamen, they are still not the opponents of those outlaws of Maitreya.

Fortunately, under Qiao Yunsheng's appeasement, the Maitreya disciples were quite obedient. Thinking of this, Qin Lei said to the adjutant general who came to report the news: "Go back and tell you generals, you must stay calm, and you are not allowed to kill people unless you are very sure." It's all about a smooth transition. ”

Looking at the back of the deputy general's order, Qin Lei breathed a sigh of relief, the careful design and repeated drills in the past seven days have finally brought about the miracle of today's bloodless victory over Xiangyang City. Behind this miracle is the condensation of Qin Lei and his black-clothed guards: many firsts in human history have also been created and applied in this performance that will inevitably go down in history, and even the heavens in the dark have also helped, otherwise how could Shi Yong, who went out hunting, discover the secret passage hidden in the valley?

The joy after success was so beautiful, Qin Lei took out the treasured Western Regions wine hero blood from under the desk, and summoned Shi to dare to call everyone in.

When Shi Meng, Shi Yong, Ma Nan, Xu Tian, Xie Wuwu, and Cheng Siyuan followed Shi Kang in, they saw eight bowls of blood-colored wine on the table, and Qin Lei behind the table was looking at them with a smile on his face.

"See the prince!"

"Don't be polite, come forward and grab the wine bowl!" Qin Lei laughed.

As Qin Lei's henchmen, these people naturally knew that when there were no outsiders, the prince didn't like them to be too angry. is not pretentious, he stepped forward with a smile, first put a bowl in Qin Lei's hands, and then each person lifted a bowl.

Qin Lei handed the big bowl to his chest with both hands, and said loudly: "Congratulations on our victory!" ”

Several people handed out the wine bowls with a bang, and the wolf howled: "Congratulations on our victory!" ”

Eight large bowls collided, and blood-colored wine splattered......

After drinking the celebration wine, several people surrounded Qin Lei and turned to the back of the tent, where there was a sumptuous celebration banquet waiting for them.

After eating and drinking for a while, it is natural to brag about Haikan, as participants in today's miraculous performance, they have too much cowhide to blow about......

Qin Lei didn't care about them, he sat on the couch with a smile, and his thoughts followed Shi Meng's spitting stars, returning to the past few days......

In fact, the battle plan formulated by Qin Lei has always had a flaw. The policy of expelling but not destroying in the early stage can indeed quickly recover a large territory. But when the Maitreya followers were compressed into two cities, they had no way to retreat. Since ancient times, it has been taboo to attack the enemy at the end of the road, so there are famous military trainings such as "Do not chase after the poor" and "Siege Sanqueyi".

But the third stage of the battle was the encirclement and annihilation stage, Qin Lei didn't plan to let the Maitreya Sect run anymore, and the Maitreya Sect couldn't run anymore. For less than 60,000 people to besiege two fortified cities at the same time, the Zhennan army has no bottom in their hearts.

As everyone knows, the Great Qin army is good at field warfare, rushing to encircle and annihilate the world's first, but as soon as it encounters a high-walled and fortified city, it is helpless and loses the demeanor of the world's strongest army. Even if there is a rabble in the city, the advantage of the high walls of the city is enough to discourage the Zhennan army, which is not good at attacking fortifications.

So from beginning to end, Qin Lei put his mind on outwitting, and attacking was only a choice of last resort.

It was Gong Liangyu who reminded Qin Lei: Since he can pretend to be a ghost and play the common people into confusion, then why don't Lao Tzu draw a scoop according to the gourd and use the other way to give it to the other.

Taking stock of the resources in his hands, Qin Lei found that this plan was still feasible, and on the Red Mansion of Qingcui Villa, he began a formal plan: the first question was, which immortal should he pretend to be?

Qin Lei spent three days sending all his subordinates out to conduct the first questionnaire survey in history, and the content was very simple: Which immortal do you worship the most? A total of 7,740 households were surveyed, and the results showed that the Jade Emperor ranked first, Taishang Laojun ranked second, and Lu Dongbin ranked third.

If you choose the first Jade Emperor, the style is magnificent, but it is purely a lantern in the pit - looking for death. You must know that the emperor is also called the Son of Heaven, but the Lord of Heaven, that is, the son of the Jade Emperor. If Qin Lei suddenly changed from the son of Emperor Zhaowu to Lao Tzu, it is estimated that His Majesty in the capital would be crazy.

The second one is also a little taboo, the Li family of the previous dynasty can be known as the descendant of Taishang Laojun, of course Qin Lei will not find himself unhappy, so he chose the third Lu Dongbin.

This immortal, Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism is not easy to be subjected to religious resistance. Moreover, he pursued the principle of joining the WTO, and often appeared in restaurants, teahouses, restaurants, etc., to eat and drink, and often left some interesting anecdotes. He is informal, good at wine, able to poetry, and loves women, the so-called "wine-colored wealth Lu Dongbin" is well-known to people. These secular life contents made him more humane, and he often helped the poor and the weak, so he had a high status in the hearts of the people and was naturally more easily accepted.

And Qin Lei has deeper considerations: his shortcoming has always been 'literature', and he is not very popular with literati and Confucian scholars. Although it is not a big problem at the moment, it is indeed a hidden danger. And Lu Dongbin's Confucian experience before his practice and escape, as well as his drinking, poetry, and pursuit of the taste of the mountains and forests, made him a representative of the immortals of the image of intellectuals. Therefore, Qin Lei hopes to use this mythical cloak to increase the goodwill of some intellectuals.
