Chapter Seventy-Three: Fahai
Outside the city of Hangzhou, an army of 100,000 sent by the imperial court was stationed on the field less than ten miles away from the city of Hangzhou. The counterinsurgency battalion is said to be 100,000, but it is good to look at the scale of 30,000 or 40,000, but considering that it is a glorious tradition of those in power in ancient times to falsely report the number of troops, it is not surprising.
Ten days ago, an incredible thing happened in Hangzhou. Since Jia Juan reported that he had found traces of a dragon in West Lake, most of the officials around West Lake thought that General Jia Juan had lost his mind and laughed at him for believing such folk rumors. But when Hangzhou City was occupied by the evil Jiao, none of them could laugh.
First, he sent his cronies to Hangzhou to confirm the authenticity of the news. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately sent someone to the Jingshi to expedite the eight hundred miles, plus sent a flying pigeon to pass the book, so as to ensure that the information reached the emperor's ears as quickly as possible.
Jiaolong conspired against him, this matter is not trivial. If it was a magistrate who reported it, the emperor might think it was nonsense. But all the magistrates around Hangzhou actually wrote to report, which made it impossible for the emperor not to believe it. The emperor and his ministers, who understood the urgency of the situation, immediately ordered the garrisons around Hangzhou to form a coalition to quell the Jiaolong Rebellion. Later, he organized a forbidden army and rushed to Hangzhou to quell the rebellion.
But in ancient times, it took a lot of time for information to be transmitted. Even if it was a flying pigeon, it was already two days later when he arrived in the capital. Coupled with the confirmation of the news, the discussion of countermeasures, and the delivery of orders, it was already the seventh day when the news arrived at the local garrison. When the army is integrated and sent to Hangzhou, ten days is definitely efficient in ancient times. Of course, this is mainly the result of the death order given by the bigwigs of the Beijing Division.
However, although the army arrived, it was discouraged in front of Hangzhou City. That's a dragon, a mythical creature. According to the report of the spies who entered the city to investigate, it was said that the evil Jiao did not know what evil method was used, and he controlled the people of the whole city at once. If you go in, you won't be able to go back!
The people outside the city are in a dilemma, and the people inside the city are also anxious.
"King, the eastern, western, and northern gates outside the city are all stationed with the enemy's 100,000 troops, and we only have 800 old and weak, and the city of Hangzhou is in danger! Although the king's magic power is boundless, he is probably outnumbered, and according to the old minister's opinion, the king still made plans early. "The former prefect's yamen of Hangzhou Mansion is now the Hangzhou Palace. Peng Dakang, the newly appointed prime minister of Hangzhou, was standing under the head with a sweat on his head, reporting back to Jiaolong, who was sitting in his seat.
"Don't worry." Jiang Tao lay leisurely on the newly made throne, signaled, and asked the new maid, the fisherwoman Xiaohe, to hand her the roast chicken of Juxian Lou, swallow it in one bite, and then said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of, if they come, this king will let them go and never return." "It's still the king of the human race, who is comfortable, and whatever he wants, his subordinates can help him do it properly, which is even stronger than his original group of mentally retarded.
"In other words, for this king to become the lord of Hangzhou, do the people of Hangzhou have any reaction?"
When is it, you are still thinking about the people. If people who don't know still think you're a good emperor? "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the people's support for the king is beyond doubt."
is worthy of being a widowed prime minister, and his ability to tell nonsense with a conscience is really perfect.
However, Jiang Tao exerted his dragon power that day, and the effect seemed to be surprisingly good. Originally, he just wanted to stop the three hundred elite soldiers, but who knew that it was out of control, and he whimsically used dragon power to cover the whole city. Although Jiang Tao's spiritual power was exhausted in the end, the little wish power that he had finally accumulated in Dragon Ball was exhausted. But for the gratifying results, it's all worth it.
Not only did they easily occupy the city, but even the scoundrels on the streets were nowhere to be seen. It was a little dangerous in the days when Jiaolong recovered his mental strength, but fortunately, they were all hit by Long Wei, and they were extremely frightened in their hearts, so Jiang Tao escaped. Having said that, even if Jiang Tao didn't do anything, the people in the city might not necessarily break his defenses.
"The king is mighty, so he is naturally not afraid of those chickens and dogs." Wang Pu, the new general of Hangzhou State, who was standing on the side, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "But the minister heard that this time the enemy army not only sent a large army, but also recruited some Taoist monks with the army. ”
This Wang Pu is also a wonderful person, after being intimidated by Jiang Tao with dragon power, he actually surrendered without surrendering. In his words, as long as there is the king's dragon power, no matter how many people come to the place, he is not afraid. Originally, following Jiaolong was nine deaths, but now the probability of success of the uprising is very high, of course, you have to take refuge.
Next, with the full cooperation of the prefect and the city guard, it is much simpler to control Hangzhou City, because Jiang Tao released Longwei in advance, there was no riot in the city, and the way to buy vegetables and eat seems to be the same as before. But everyone knows in their hearts that the city of Hangzhou has changed. It won't be long before the army of the imperial court will come to quell the rebellion.
Jiang Tao's occupation of Hangzhou was not for nothing. First of all, Jiang Tao set up eight dragon temples in the city. Because Jiang Tao found that since he showed his dragon power in Hangzhou, the wish power in the dragon ball has actually increased slowly, but this way of collecting wish power is extremely inefficient, so he ordered people to build temples around Hangzhou City, and let people give porridge at the temple gate every morning. Not to mention, food accounted for a very heavy weight in the hearts of ordinary people in ancient times. Jiang Tao did this, which really made the Dragon Temple have a lot of believers. And it also helped Jiang Tao a lot to the stability of his rule. There are even a few poor people who really regard him as a dragon god in the heavens and earth, specially to save the world.
Originally, Jiang Tao didn't care much about the army outside Hangzhou, but now that he heard that there were Taoist monks in the army, Jiang Tao had to take it seriously. Jiang Tao has just had a few good days, but he can't let people run away, Jiaolong said that the good days are not enough.
"Then you know who they are?"
Wang Pu and Peng Dakang glanced at each other, and they were a little uncomfortable with the fact that the king who had always been a fool of their family suddenly became serious. But it still reported truthfully: "Others are not afraid. But ......"
Speaking of this, Peng Dakang stopped and said carefully: "But the enemy army has invited a very famous Fahai Zen master, I'm afraid this person is not easy to deal with!" ”
Fahai won't be the one in "The Legend of the White Snake". If so, it's really hard to deal with. "So what are the achievements of this Fahai Zen Master in practicing in that temple?" It should just be a duplicate name, how can there be a Fahai in this world? Jiang Tao thought secretly.
"King Qiqi," seeing that Jiaolong attached great importance to this battle, Peng Dakang's voice also increased a lot. "This Fahai Zen Master practiced in Jinshan Temple by the West Lake a long time ago, and no one knew how old he was, so the people nearby called him a living immortal. Although the number of shots is not much, every time you make a shot, no matter how big the trouble is, it can be easily solved. ”
It seems that this thing has not run away, this Fahai is the Fahai in "The Legend of the White Snake". I didn't expect to meet him, and I don't know what kind of cultivation he is, but he must be above refining qi and transforming gods, otherwise it would be impossible to live for so long. I just don't know if this Fahai met the White Lady.
