vs 33 Slow movement in front of the enemy
The arrogance that was once spontaneously called "Little Heavenly Master" by his subordinates has now been successfully abandoned with the improvement of his status. Dressed in a yellow robe, in the face of the frenzied cheers of the soldiers and civilians in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a fluttering sense of intoxication in his heart.
At this moment, he had an illusion, as if he was the master of the world, and he had enough ability to turn the tide and point out the mountains and rivers according to his own mind at will!
Fortunately, "Taiping True Qi" deserves to be recognized as the "first product" true Qi in the world. With the spontaneous flow of true qi in his body, Zhang Qi immediately calmed down from his illusory cognition.
Since receiving the volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book" and "People" given by Zhang Jiao, through several years of persistent cultivation, Zhang Qiang has not improved much in the total amount of true qi, but in the purity of true qi, it is no longer what it used to be. And the biggest gain of arrogant cultivation of the volume of "People" is not how many profound Dao methods he has learned, but that he can maintain a calm state of mind in his state of mind.
Don't think that the fruits of this penance are useless. In history, how many emperors and generals have humbly courteous corporals before success, and asked for benefits; But after the great success is completed, he becomes arrogant and lascivious, does not listen to people's advice, and finally loses the night?
As a superior, it is his duty to identify and appoint talents. But the most important thing is that after ascending to a high position, you need not to be carried away by your own power and achievements.
Even after cultivating the volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book" and "People", there is only one purpose that can make people always maintain a peaceful and calm mind, and based on this alone, Zhang Qi feels that his dedication to cultivation is worth the price of the ticket.
For a faction, the ability and temperament of its leader are important factors influencing the development potential of this faction. As long as the supreme leader of one side does not faint. The development of this side will be able to maintain stability. As a prince, Zhang Qiang can be said to have an impact on millions of soldiers and civilians under his subordinates in every move. Being able to effectively maintain mental stability is more important than his ability to win the three armies.
Not to mention, arrogant cultivation to this day. He also mastered some extremely useful "small" Taoism from the Book of Heaven.
In the face of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians present, Zhang Qiao's body moved, and he jumped off the horse in a very chic manner. Then, with steady steps, he ascended to the altar, came to the kneeling Bao Chu, and said aloud:
"Bao Jiaocai, silently reciting the "Taiping Sutra", can you get anything?"
"Bao Xin has something to gain."
"Then do you know that my Taiping Dao was founded in the world, what do you want?"
"May the world be peaceful. The people live in peace! ”
"Not bad!"
Zhang opened his arms and said loudly to the soldiers and civilians under the altar:
"What I seek in peace is that the world is peaceful and the people live in peace! If anyone is bent on enslaving the world, sucking the people's fat and fattening himself, he is the enemy of the people of the world! Insolent and talented, I am willing to eliminate harm for the world and return peace to the people! ”
Speaking of which. The insolent body turned to Bao Chu, and asked again:
"Bao Jiaocai. If someone takes the people of the world as a dog, ignores the livelihood of Li and dies, and is bent on fattening himself. Who is this? ”
Bao Chuyuan's eyes widened and shouted angrily:
"This is a national thief!"
"If Taiping Dao wants to rid the country of thieves, what do you mean?"
"Obey!"
After receiving a resounding answer from Bao, he nodded with satisfaction. Loudly announced:
"Take the world as my own responsibility, establish my heart for heaven and earth, establish my life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, this is my mission of peace! Bao Jiaocai is a genius in the world, and he can be the minions of my way! There are heavy responsibilities, but they must not be powerless. The power of past lives. Give you back your body! Be loyal and faithful, so that you can do it yourself! ”
After that, the silver light of the arrogant whole body was magnificent, shining so brightly that the soldiers and civilians under the altar were shocked. Then, he put one of his fingers on Bao Zhu's forehead, and Bao Zhu's whole body was also covered with silver light. That moment of brilliance, until decades later, some people can still remember!
"Heavenly Master Hail Blessed!"
Seeing such a magnificent scene, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians under the altar once again bowed to the ground in unison, amazed by the "Heavenly Master's" insolent and amazing spells.
When the silver light flashed, everyone raised their heads, but when they saw Bao Chu, who was kneeling in front of the altar, stood up with a bright face. The next moment, he let out a loud shout, and the waist knife in his hand was unsheathed, and as he swung it, a pink light emitted from the blade, which flew ten feet away, hitting a five-foot-high rammed earth wall.
"Bang!"
The half-section of the earthen wall, which looked extremely solid, was hit by this knife qi, and it made a muffled sound, and immediately splashed countless dirt ash residues! When the ashes cleared, I saw a knife mark four or five feet long and seven or eight inches deep clearly left on the earthen wall. Seeing this scene, all the onlookers were shocked:
"Edi Niang! Is there still such martial arts? ”
"What a powerful 'Zhan Qi'!"
"At this moment, if it falls on a person, won't it be to cut the person in half?"
During the discussion, everyone projected their awe-inspiring eyes onto Bao Chu. I don't know which one shouted first, and a unanimous voice immediately sounded in the audience:
"Ten thousand enemies!"
"Ten thousand enemies!"
"Ten thousand enemies!"
…………
Bao Chu, who was trying his skills, was in a daze, and was suddenly awakened by the sound under the altar, and immediately turned his face red. He fell to one knee in front of the arrogance at once, and swore loudly with his head held high:
"From now on, obey orders!"
The voice that roared out of Bao's mouth suddenly overwhelmed the chorus of thousands of people under the altar. Hearing Bao Zhu, who had successfully promoted to the "Ten Thousand Enemies", swore to the sky, the onlookers under the altar all bowed to the ground again and congratulated in unison:
"Heavenly Master Hail Blessed!"
Enjoying all this safely, the arrogance is fortunate to have the calm effect of peace and true anger, so as not to get carried away. He looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the audience, and knew in his heart that his prestige among the people under his rule had been deepened. And the generals of the Taihang Army, who were boosted by high morale, naturally had a higher chance of winning in the face of Zhang Yang's enemy reinforcements!
Of course, Zhang Yang didn't know about this change that had taken place in the Taixing Army. At this moment, the army under his command is still a full hundred miles away from the main force of the Taixing army. Although Taiyuan County can be regarded as its own force, and the march of the Shangdang army can be counted as a domestic march, Zhang Yang, who is quite jealous of the Taixing army, is not willing to act rashly, so as not to accidentally fall into the ambush of the Taixing army.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Yang led his army to camp only 30 miles every day, and also sent scouts in front of the team to investigate until 20 miles away. This made the many powerful private soldiers who followed the Zhang Madman Army to rescue Taiyuan very angry:
- That's too fucking cautious, isn't it?
- The so-called "saving soldiers is like fighting fire", Zhang Taishou is so grinding, if Jinyang is broken, how can it be good?
Among the reinforcements that Zhang Yang brought to Taiyuan, in addition to the 3,000 main elite soldiers under his command, they also included 3,000 powerful private soldiers from Shangdang and 4,000 strong private soldiers from southern Taiyuan. With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, Zhang Yang will have the confidence to fight a head-on battle with insolence. The stupid thing of being outnumbered is not something that Zhang Yang, a veteran of the battlefield, does.
The people of Bingzhou are brave and brave, and the folk practice of martial arts has become one of the sources of high-quality soldiers of the Han Dynasty. These powerful private soldiers, judging from their personal combat skills alone, are no worse than Zhang Yang's Shangdang county soldiers. Even when comparing the weapons and equipment of the two sides, the private soldiers were only slightly inferior. In addition, coupled with the absolute superiority in numbers, even if the 3,000 elites under Zhang Yang really want to fight, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat this powerful private soldier who has reached 7,000.
It's just that these 7,000 people belong to more than 20 powerful people in two counties and seven counties, and they are not capable of each other and cannot work together. There are even some heroes who have deep grievances against each other. Therefore, if there was no Zhang Yang, a famous Han general in Bingzhou, as the backbone, even if the strength of the heroes was doubled, they would not be able to unite and dare to go to trouble the Taixing army.
Although Zhang Yang has good martial arts, he has a soft temperament, and he is not suitable as the leader of one party and is in charge alone. Along the way, he needed the powerful men to provide military food and grass along the way. The so-called eating people's mouths are short, considering the supply of military supplies, in the face of those powerful leaders who follow the army, Zhang Yang naturally can't pull his face more and more.
In this way, the leaders of Haoqiang also had no scruples, and they were in front of Zhang Yang all day long, urging him to speed up the march and rescue Jinyang City in the fire and water as soon as possible. In this way, when the Taihang thieves are repelled, Zhang Yang can become the new master of Jinyang City, and these people who have made meritorious contributions with them will be able to select a group of fat shortages from the good positions in the temple in Taiyuan County as a reward for sending troops.
However, although Zhang Yang has a good temper, he is not without his own ideas. He made up his mind that no matter how much he urged him, he insisted on not changing the speed of the march. Zhang Yang's position as the main general is here, since he insists on safety first, the heroes dare not go too far, so that they anger the Taishou.
Therefore, when Zhang Yang's army came to the preset battlefield of the Taixing Army thirty miles away from Jinyang City, Zhang Mad had already led the main force of the Taixing Army and waited here for two more days.
Zhang Mad originally planned to take advantage of the fact that Zhang Yang's army was far away and his foothold was not stable, so he would first give him a place to wait for work and face the blow. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang is a veteran general of the Han army, and he may not be able to come up with any strange schemes or strange soldiers, but the word "stable" is enough to make the arrogant plan fail.
There were still fifteen miles away from the Taixing army camp, so Zhang Yang ordered his subordinates to camp near a small hill that was more than ten zhang higher than the surrounding area. After carefully surveying the terrain, he relied on the topography to let the soldiers build a number of temporary fortifications. Then, he asked his subordinates to build a four-zhang high wooden arrow tower every fifty steps along the wall of the big camp.
Looking at this posture, Zhang Yang had no intention of continuing to advance and engage the Taixing army at all! (To be continued......)
