Chapter Seventy-Nine: Mikawa Divergent Road 3
readx;?? After four days, Zhang Jiashi finally left the mountains between the western part of Sanchuan County and the Naishi Zhiguan from the nightmarish march road of hell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info{starter}
Although Zhang Jiashi had made a lot of preparations for this march, he still lost more than 3,000 men and horses and a large amount of supplies, which cast a shadow on the next battle.
Although such a result did not make Zhang Jiashi feel relieved, he himself knew very well that in such a place, it could already be said that they had left that ghost place.
The non-combat losses of about one-fifth of the sortie force made Zhang Jiashi's heart ache, but no matter what, Zhang Jiashi now knew that he should be in a region called Liang County, and later called Ruzhou after being listened to by the scouts he sent.
This place does not seem to be controlled by the more powerful princes, and for Zhang Jiashi, it is not too good a good thing.
Although Zhang Jiashi himself did not think that the current princes were capable of pursuing and blocking the more than 12,000 knights under his command, if the other party transmitted this news to Xiang Yu's ears, Zhang Jiashi himself did not think that Fan Zeng would not be able to see through his goal.
Once the Chu army reacted, and Zhang Jiashi himself did not find a way to raid Aocang, then he led the army to attack this time, which was more in vain and added casualties.
After summoning the middle and senior officers under his command for a brief meeting, Zhang Jiashi decided to divide the troops into two routes.
One route was led by Li Ping with 4,000 knights to the north of Guandong Province, looking for an opportunity to raid the grain transportation team of the Chu army.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew that he was likely to startle the snake by doing so, but he didn't want to see the Chu army get a few batches of grain again, which could keep hundreds of thousands of troops under consumption for a period of time, and increase the danger of the fall of Hangu Pass, Zhang Jiashi could only choose such a way to reduce the pressure brought by the Chu army to Hangu Pass.
It may be that this operation will fall short because of such an arrangement, but Zhang Jiashi does not think that he can have a better option to solve this problem.
The remaining more than 8,000 people naturally have only one goal, that is, Zhang Jiashi personally led them to raid Aocang.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Jiashi's team, a few days later, arrived in Aocang.
Of course, such a path is not all smooth sailing. At the very least, Zhang Jiashi encountered a few strange situations for no reason, especially when he encountered dozens of fireballs that would suddenly fall from the sky.
These attacks did not cause any losses to Zhang Jiashi's troops, but what made Zhang Jiashi very concerned was who was hindering him.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't know that there were indeed people who didn't want him to do this, and intervened to stop his march.
But Zhang Jiashi didn't think that a normal person, even a professional with incomparably strong strength, dared to face their regular army head-on.
"Could it be ......," Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
He thought about whether it would be some so-called foreign masters who were collected by the Chu army to stop him, but Zhang Jiashi didn't think that he had such an army of thousands and still needed to be afraid of those people.
But what Zhang Jiashi didn't think of, that is, if these people are not ordinary people, but so-called gods, Zhang Jiashi's heart is estimated to be very exciting.
......
It's just that even if Fu Xi personally went down to deal with Zhang Jiashi, he had to weigh whether his strength could get out of the predicament under the siege of a few divine beasts or a few powerful people at the peak of the divine beasts.
Fu Xi himself knew very well that if Shennong and Nuwa were also there, then he didn't need to be afraid of the siege of the divine beasts, including the Qilin.
But now, Fu Xi is afraid that it is impossible to even easily take down the Five Spirit Divine Beasts, or the opposite Divine Beasts whose strength is not much different, or even not equal.
If the other party is in a group, Fu Xi really doesn't necessarily want him to stay in this place and wait for death.
So even in the action of the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Fu Xi did not take matters into his own hands, but let the gods under his command do such things.
Of course, the matter of the Fengshen List has nothing to do with the situation at that time. That is, several names are written in it.
It's like Jiang Shang (Jiang Ziya) or something, it does exist. But the names of the gods with a strong Taoist atmosphere are very embarrassing, and in terms of the situation at the time, they don't match at all.
After all, Zhang Jiashi has been in the Great Qin Empire for a few years, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as Taoism at this time, let alone any things like Yuan Shi Tianzun and Sanqing.
Obviously, the Great Wilderness does exist, but as far as Zhang Jiashi knows, such as Hongjun, who is familiar to their Taoist priests, whether there is such an existence or not, even at this time, Zhang Jiashi does not dare to pack a ticket.
He didn't think it could exist, but what he had to deny was that after seeing the existence of the seven-colored deer, Zhang Jiashi's opinion changed a lot.
Of course, the Taoist kind of thing of accepting a divine beast and holy beast as a pet is very embarrassing, you have to weigh whether you have that kind of strength.
Although Zhang Jiashi didn't know that Fu Xi had to turn around and run away in the face of Vermilion Bird and the other five spirit divine beasts, he clearly realized the fact that even if it was a second-class divine beast like the seven-colored deer, in the face of the kind of immortal cultivators who seemed to be omnipotent, those people seemed to be even more helpless.
That's why Zhang Jiashi felt a little confused about such a world, and he also realized that the cultivators in this world were not so terrifying.
And now, it is not the time for Zhang Jiashi to investigate this matter in detail, after confirming that there is no danger nearby, Zhang Jiashi continues to lead the army forward.
......
What Zhang Jiashi didn't know was that on a mountain peak in the distance, after watching the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command continue to advance, Bai Hu muttered, "The other party may know something." ”
"Isn't this nonsense, isn't this nonsense? The other party is also a cultivator, so he naturally knows that the kind of thing that drops dozens of fireballs out of thin air is not an ordinary situation. Suzaku glanced at his old buddy angrily, and then gently kicked the weakened body of a superior god next to him who had been robbed of godhead, and smiled: "Since you are all ready to make a move, why don't you just deal with that little guy." After all, unless you don't make a move, you don't want to go back to that messy place. ”
Hearing Suzaku's words, this superior god, who was tantamount to a wasted person, couldn't help but say angrily: "I want to do this, but the other party actually brought a quasi-divine beast-level existence with him this time, even if it is the God Emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to solve the other party in one or two moves." And that person's strength is not too bad, as long as I can't finish the other party with one blow, won't you quickly let me encounter such an end?"
Hearing this, Suzaku and White Tiger had to be silent for a while before White Tiger said, "Old Bird, why do I think the other party is very reasonable." ”
Suzaku was silent, then looked in the direction that Zhang Jiashi was far away, and after a while, he said something that surprised the white tiger.
"Perhaps, maybe the thing that the candle dragon said will indeed happen. ”
What Suzaku meant by what he said, White Tiger actually understood.
For the white tiger, the candle dragon thinks that his daughter will always be led by the things of the mortal world again, such a thing, he will not care too much, and he will not prevent this thing from happening, for him, what is the fate of his daughter, he hopes to let his daughter experience, rather than change anything.
The existence of the candle dragon, even among the divine beasts, can be regarded as the top existence, and even the top divine beasts such as the five spirits or the blue wolf cannot be underestimated.
And the candle dragon, who is responsible for guarding Buzhou Mountain, has long been uninterested in many things, but it is his daughter who accidentally drifted to the bottom of Buzhou Mountain that makes Candle Dragon have such a feeling of hoping to become a father.
For example, in the Great War of the Flood and the Battle of the Deer, the Candle Dragon was just a bystander, and this time, the Candle Dragon is likely to be drawn by fate.
Once this little guy named Zhang Jiashi really has any karma with that very peaceful and cute girl, I'm afraid that Emperor Fuxi should cry.
After all, if he was alone, he would be able to face the siege of two top-level divine beasts without being killed, but if he was to face the candle dragon one-on-one, Fu Xi didn't think he had the slightest chance of winning in this matter.
Perhaps, Fu Xi faced Gonggong, Gonggong is not a dish of Fuxi, but Fuxi will definitely not be able to do it, after knocking Gonggong away, it will also break Buzhou Mountain.
This kind of thing is not something that can be done casually.
At the very least, he Fuxi has to use a lot of strength, and he can still make Buzhou Mountain cut off, but the candle dragon is just a random kick......
The strength between the two is superior.
This is also the situation caused by Fu Xi's long-standing desire to get rid of his neighbors, but he is also worried that he will be taught a hard lesson by the candle dragon in turn, because Fu Xi's strength is not able to face the candle dragon alone.
The candle dragon can't guard the mountain, in fact, the candle dragon himself is willing to do it. After all, although Buzhou Mountain is not an existence that ordinary people can contact, there is one thing that many people don't know, that is, Buzhou Mountain, this place is not the most important way to link the heavens and the human world alone, and it is the safest passage.
Therefore, if you really want to calculate it, Buzhou Mountain is actually the road connecting the underworld, the mortal world, and the heavenly world.
If some beings in the underworld were allowed to come to the mortal world through the Anti-Zhou Mountain, then it would be a very serious catastrophe for the entire mortal world.
There are also such beings in the West, but the path of the West is not guarded by a super existence like Candle Dragon, but by three beings with the strength equivalent to Suzaku and others to defend the passage.
For example, the existence that guards the entrance to the underworld is the three-headed dog Helparus, the one who guards the entrance to the mortal world is the unicorn, and the one who guards the entrance to the heavenly realm is the king of the Holy Dragon Clan, Delt.
What Zhang Jiashi didn't know was that there were difficulties in communicating with the mortal world, and a strong person like Suzaku was more aware of the existence of the same level in the West.
Especially for the Phoenix King Phils, who is equivalent to him and has similar strength, Suzaku doesn't think that the other party can be much stronger than it.
Of course, even the White Tiger knows one thing, that is, the relationship between the Eastern Dragon Clan and the Western Dragon Clan, which can be seen from the verbal title, is very bad.
In the eyes of the Eastern dragons, the Western Dragon Clan is a big flying lizard.
And the Eastern Dragons, in the eyes of the Western Dragons, are no better: a stupid snake that is obviously malnourished.
Well, there are some things like this, many people find them quite interesting. But they themselves know very well that under the constraints of some situations in the mortal world, beings like them really won't fight for no reason.
But once there is an inducement or something, for example, an expedition broke out between mortals, just like more than a hundred years ago, when the man named Alexander went on an expedition to India, a great war broke out between the Western Divine Beast and the Indian Divine Beast.
Obviously, those Indian divine beasts could not defeat the Western divine beasts that followed Alexander, and there were many fallen gods.
After all, there is such a constraint between them, that is, mortal affairs, they can't interfere for no reason, if there is one side that violates this unwritten constraint alone, then waiting for this person who violates the article is a bloody war.
The situation is the same between the heavenly realm and the mortal world, and the mortal world and the underworld, of course, if it is really counted, the number of strong people in the mortal world is the largest, but they are often scattered rather than concentrated together, especially the differences between regions, so that the strong people in the mortal world are basically unable to concentrate their forces and march to the heavenly world and the underworld.
In terms of overall strength, the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld are certainly inferior to the Mortal Realm, but it is easier for them to concentrate the power in their hands to deal with many things. But if you want one aspect of the heavenly realm and the underworld to launch an attack on the mortal world alone, the strong people in the mortal world still wish that such a situation would occur.
It's like a matter of the past few years, Suzaku is certainly a little tired, but they themselves don't think that such a thing is a bad thing in general.
After all, in such a long time, they hate that kind of unchanging and peaceful life.
They didn't care about the reward for their help to Zhang Jiashi, and for them, what Zhang Jiashi had was not what they wanted.
Especially the blue wolf, although he still can't get used to Zhang Jiashi who abducted his daughter, but he didn't teach Zhang Jiashi a lesson, but repeatedly intervened in the heavenly realm's actions against Zhang Jiashi and helped. In such an aspect, it is not so much that Zhang Jiashi has a good impression of it, but that the blue wolf has an idea.
He knew very well that once Zhang Jiashi solved the internal problems of the Great Qin Empire, he might be able to return to their homeland with the help of his people, these "poor people" who had been exiled abroad.
Out of such thoughts, there are not a few divine beasts or strong people who help out.
But they can't interfere much in mortal things. Just like this time when Zhang Jiashi launched a war to attack Guanzhong, their existence is more so that Zhang Jiashi will not be attacked by some existence that he can't deal with at all, and attack him and his family.
It has become their consensus that human affairs should be solved by human beings themselves.
It's like Zhao Gao, although he is indeed one of the top powerhouses of the human race, Zhao Gao's strength is still not enough in front of the eyes of the blue wolf and others.
If it was really serious, ten Zhao Gao would not be the opponents of the blue wolf.
Therefore, although such regulations are not binding, no one has officially explained such a situation. But whether it is the heavenly realm, the mortal world, or the strong people of the underworld, they all acquiesce to such a regulation in their hearts.
And Fu Xi obviously crossed the line on purpose this time, and the divine beasts naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to "pass" the time. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't want to get into trouble with the candle dragon, they might really go to the heavenly realm to discuss some issues with Fu Xi.
There is naturally more than one way to the Heavenly Realm, but many paths, even if they are divine beasts, are not willing to be easily involved.
There is no doubt that the mountain is the safest road.
Therefore, if the divine beasts want to find trouble with Fuxi, especially the seven-colored deer who plans to return a tooth for a tooth or something, they still have to wait until I don't know when.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
May 23, 207 BC was a very unlikely day for Xiang Yu.
On this morning, when Xiang Yu was gathering his generals and planning to continue attacking Hangu Pass today, he received a message that made him feel impossible.
That is, two days ago, a grain transport team with about 3,000 guards and as many as 10,000 people was actually defeated by a Qin army light cavalry unit in the area of Gongxian, and the 20,000 stone grain and grass transported were quickly burned by the other party.
One thing that the messenger didn't know was that Li Ping did not burn all the grain, but took away about 1,000 stone of grain and grass and the corresponding carriage before directly burning the grain and grass in this grain transportation team that had long been left without a few living people.
Xiang Yu didn't believe such a news, but he was not so reckless as to directly execute the messenger, after all, although he couldn't know the truth of such a thing, it didn't mean that Fan Zeng didn't know whether such a situation was true or false.
At such a time, Xiang Yu's trust in Fan Zeng is still the same as always.
And after Fan Zeng heard the news, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but after he came back to his senses, there was no expression on his face that he was distressed that the grain and grass had been burned, but hurriedly walked to the map and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Xiang Yu couldn't wait, and was about to ask something, but he heard something that made him feel impossible:
"Ao Cang! The other party's main target is Ao Cang!!"
As Zhang Jiashi thought, his target was indeed Ao Cang, and this time he knew that it was very likely that his target would be exposed because of Li Ping's actions.
After all, Fan Zeng is not an ordinary person, and the candidate who can force Zhang Liang to use the discord strategy shows that Zhang Liang is likely to be helpless against Fan Zeng.
However, Xiang Yu's arrogant nature burst out at this time:
"Father, there are nearly 10,000 defenders in Aocang, even if it is raided by the Wei State, it can hold out for a long time, I'm afraid that with this small group of Qin dog light horses, it is impossible to capture Aocang. ”
Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zeng couldn't help frowning: "I hope that Ji'er can pay attention to this matter, after all, Ao Cang is not for our army, and there is no room for loss." ”
Xiang Yu nodded indifferently, Fan Zeng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by another messenger:
"Cheng Gao urgently reported that !! Ao Cang was lost, and General Ding Gong was killed in battle!!"
