Chapter 113: Betrayal
The principle of lightning rod is still very useful, and it is also thanks to the large enough scale of the thunderstorm cloud, the top of Lifeng Mountain is far enough away from this side, and the terrain near the county seat is not high, otherwise Ning Ze would not dare to take risks. When the time comes, he is not attracted by the lightning rod, and the thunder and lightning directly hit him, which is called sadness.
This is the power of science, and the so-called mantras mentioned above are all false.
The whole city of Liyuan was shocked by the thunder, and they were frightened.
The overly superstitious ancients were in awe of natural phenomena and thought they were God's warnings.
Before, Master Ji Tuo called for wind and rain, and everyone felt that they had won.
Who would have thought that the opponent's military advisor would also spell, and directly summoned the Nine Heavens Thunder and split the stand-in of Master Tatuo.
God helps each other, what's the use of Master Tatuo's mana no matter how strong it is?
Dongmen Ji Tuo is actually a magic stick, knows some knowledge of observing celestial phenomena, and has learned some fake Taoist methods to deceive people, relying on the ignorance of the people to become a well-known mage, founded the Five Grains Sect.
I thought that I could use the celestial phenomena to scare off the soldiers and horses of Huajun, but I didn't expect Ning Ze to come to such a hand.
When the thunder and lightning fell from the sky, it happened to hit the straw man stand-in on the top of the mountain in the distance, and I thought it was God's anger and warned me that I was deceiving the people under the pretense of the mandate of heaven. collapsed on the spot, a mouthful of bitter juice poured up his throat, and he rolled his eyes directly.
Wen Jie was also so frightened that his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to quickly consult Master Tatuo.
It's just that when he turned around, he found that the disciples behind Dongmen Ji Tuo were supporting him and kept shouting, but Master Ji Tuo was motionless.
Someone stepped forward to check, and his face changed drastically: "Master Dituo is dead!"
Everyone was afraid.
It turned out that Dongmen Ji Tuo thought too much, and under extreme panic, there was constant lightning and thunder in his ears, and the heavens and the earth shook, and he was so frightened that he died on the spot.
Some of the disciples of the Five Grains Sect were sure that after the death of the sect leader, they were also afraid of being struck by lightning, so they left the city wall in surprise and fled to the county.
In the chaos, the county soldiers on the city wall also panicked and fled for their lives.
Wen Jie was also so frightened that he turned around and wanted to flee, but the frightened pale civil and military officials around him trembled and stopped him, and said to him: "County Zun, this is the will of heaven, Huajun soldiers and horses are invincible!
"Yes, yes!" Wen Jie ran out of ideas, and hurriedly said when he heard this, "Quick! ”
So the gate of Liyuan County was opened, and the county commander Wen Jie personally led the civil and military officials, trembling, and came out to kneel down and ask for surrender.
Ning Ze stepped forward to take the seal letter, and entered the city with the others to take over here.
After entering the city, he learned of the death of Dongmen Tatuo, and heard that he had 3,000 followers all over the county, all of whom were members of the Wugu Sect.
The religion of the heart is very likely to become the source of confusion. 、
So the order went down, and the east gate was a demon road in the world, and it was collected by heaven. When the people were deceived by it, they came to their senses and ordered the dissolution of the Five Grains Sect immediately.
The people in the city knew that Dongmen Motuo was struck by a thunderbolt and died, but God sent him to sin, so they drew a line with the Wugu Sect.
The disciples of the Five Grains Sect were also afraid of being implicated, and the sect leader was no longer there, so they withdrew one after another.
The torrential rain lasted for several days, and Ning Ze could only temporarily camp in Liyuan County.
The Ba County side also temporarily suspended the troops, and the Jujun soldiers and horses retreated, after all, they could not fight under the continuous heavy rain.
When the rain finally stopped, Ning Ze immediately cooperated with Liang Teng to lead the troops and marched towards the county seat of Bajun.
Jujun immediately responded and sent troops from the rear to attack.
In Bajun City, Yang Ran frowned, as if he was much older.
Yang Ying sat on the side, and below were civil and military officials, all of them like mourners.
Ningze in Liyuan County fought with Dongmen Dituo, and a thunderbolt killed Dongmen Dituo (in fact, he split the grass man stand-in, and the deity was scared to death. But it was rumored that Ning Ze led the thunder to kill Dongmen Di Tuo), this matter has spread all over the surrounding area, and the people of Liyuan County who went to do business or walked abroad spread the news everywhere.
If you want to say that Huajun soldiers and horses are strong, it is nothing, no matter how strong the enemy is, there is a way to defeat it.
But the other party can attract thunder, who can withstand this?
It is said that the soldiers and horses of Huajun are blessed by God, which is in accordance with the will of God. Wouldn't it be against the sky?
The power of heaven and earth, how can mortals fight against it?
There was silence in the office.
After a long time, Yang Ying sighed and said: "Envoy Jun! Now that Ning Ze led thunder to kill Master Di Tuo has spread all over Bajun City, the people are panicked and have no heart to fight! Ning Ze and Liang Teng are leading their troops to arrive at the end of the day, and the soldiers and horses of Jujun behind them are forming a flanking attack, so you need to plan early!"
"Second uncle, you said that Princess Yuanxi is just a woman, why does God favor her?" Yang Ran's face was ugly.
"Providence is the most unpredictable!" Yang Ying replied, "Besides, God doesn't necessarily favor Princess Yuanxi. ”
"What does that mean?"
"Maybe it's Ning Ze's guy who is favored!"
"What should we do?" Yang Ran ran was out of ideas.
Yang Ying thought about it carefully, sighed and said, "If there is no such thing, our army still has hope of repelling the soldiers and horses of Huajun." Now that the soldiers and civilians of Ba County know that he obeys the will of heaven, how can he help us to defend the city? The way of heaven is changeable, and he is favored at this time, but he may not be able to do so in the future! In my opinion, it is better to abandon Ba County for the time being before the arrival of the soldiers and horses of Huajun!"
Yang Ran was shocked when he heard this: "Second uncle, if you abandon Ba County, we will lose our foundation!"
"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood!" Yang Ying persuaded.
"Where can I go if I abandon Ba County?" Yang Ran thought about it carefully, there was really no way.
Yang Ying replied: "You can take advantage of Bozhou, pass through Yuetai County, and go to Chizhou to defect to Lu Cong! Now Lu Cong and Zhou Yi are competing for hegemony, and Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen do not recognize each other. In contrast, Lu Cong's situation is weak, and we will be reused in the past. As long as you get a place to stay, you can recuperate and accumulate strength! When the world changes, you can take advantage of the trend!"
"Okay!" Yang Ran never doubted the wisdom of his second uncle, and nodded immediately, "Go to Chizhou to join Lu Cong!"
Immediately ordered to go down, let the civil and military officials mobilize soldiers and horses, loot the city's gold, silver, treasures, equipment and military rations, and flee at any time.
The order went down, and the civil and military officials prepared their own.
Cao Xing, the captain of Ba County, secretly contacted Xia Ping, Ran Pu, and Bian Qu, who were also school captains, and said to them: "Ning Ze has the help of heaven, how can he be the enemy? If he goes against the sky, he will suffer great trouble! It is better to take Yang Ran and surrender the city and conform to the will of heaven!"
"How can we be apotheas?" Xia Ping asked worriedly.
"Han Taishou is the lord of Ba County, Yang Ran killed Taishou Dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and we are in line with the will of heaven on the contrary!" Ran Pu said, "You can also avenge Han Taishou!"
"Okay!" Bian Qu nodded in agreement, "We will each lead the soldiers and horses of our headquarters to quickly enter the official office and capture Yang Ran and his minions!"
There were 8,000 soldiers under the four captains, and no one expected these people to suddenly rebel, and before they could react, the soldiers and horses directly surrounded the official office.
Cao Xing led his troops to break into it, Yang Ran didn't know what was going on, he was discussing with Yang Ying, and when he saw him coming in, he raised his head and asked, "Why didn't Captain Cao enter the official office through the communication?"
"Take it!" Cao Xing did not answer, and with an order, the soldiers behind him quickly poured in.
Seeing this, Yang Ying hurriedly drew his sword to protect Yang Ran, and shouted: "Let Jun go quickly!"
Yang Ran also hurriedly drew his sword, rushed to kill with Yang Ying, and shouted for help.
It's just that the guards outside have long been controlled by the four battalions of soldiers and horses, and there is no way to rescue them.
Yang Ran and Yang Ying fought hard in the face of the siege, but Cao Xing's subordinates were everywhere, and they were finally captured.
Outside, Yang Ran, who learned of the rebellion of the fourth lieutenant, led the army and was blocked.
During the onslaught, Cao Xing escorted Yang Ran and Yang Ying out, and ordered the other party to abandon their weapons and surrender.
The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and finally took into account Yang Ran's safety, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, so Yang Ran's henchmen surrendered.
So Cao Xing, Xia Ping, Ran Pu, and Bian Qu captured Yang Ran and his subordinates, imprisoned them, and ordered people to leave the city immediately, and quickly went to Huajun soldiers and horses to send the surrender table.
Before he arrived at his destination, he suddenly received a drop from Ba County, and everyone was surprised, including Ning Ze himself.
Liang Teng asked Ning Ze suspiciously: "Military advisor, could it be another fraudulent surrender?"
"I don't know!" Ning Ze shook his head, "Whether it's a real surrender or a fraudulent surrender, there are tricks." ”
So the soldiers and horses of Huajun accelerated and soon arrived in Ba County.
When I arrived near the city gate, I saw the gate of Bajun wide open.
Lieutenants Cao Xing, Ran Pu, Xia Ping, and Bian Qu led the soldiers and horses of each battalion, and escorted Yang Ran, Yang Ying, and other subordinates who were tied up with five flowers.
In front of Ning Ze, the four captains turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to clasp their fists and saluted respectfully: "Ning Junshi, Liang Taishou! Yang Ran learned about Liyuan's fighting method, and wanted to lead his troops to abandon the city and flee to Chizhou. We have no choice but to respect Yang Ran's order, and now we have captured Yang Ran and his subordinates and surrendered to Ning's military division! Our two counties of Bahua are alliances, and the military division has come here to avenge Han Taishou's revenge, which is exactly what we want! The soldiers and generals of Ba County, and even the people in the city, are all looking forward to welcoming the two of them into the city to preside over the overall situation!"
"It's really Yang Ran!" Liang Teng said happily when he saw Yang Ran and the others who were tied up by five flowers, "Several generals are well aware of the righteousness, and the officers are very pleased!
Ning Ze stepped forward, glanced at Yang Ran and his subordinates, his eyes fell on Yang Ying, and asked, "Mr. is a talented person, is he willing to surrender to our army and serve Princess Yuanxi?" If Mr. surrenders, this army can save Yang Envoy's life." ”
The reason why Yang Ying was persuaded to surrender was because he had 90 points in intelligence and 88 points in politics, and he was a very good civilian-type general. It's no wonder that all the way before can make Yang Ran turn the corner.
Yang Ying snorted coldly when she heard this, turned her head and ignored it.
Yang Ran also turned his head and said nothing, this uncle and nephew were very tough.
But many of their men cried out to surrender.
"After all, Yang Ran is the assassin of history, and it is most appropriate to escort him back to Huajun and ask the princess to deal with it!" Liang Teng thought for a while and said softly.
Ning Ze shook his head: "These two people are not idle people, if they stay, it will become a big disaster!
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Liang Teng persuaded, "Privately executing the Jinzhou assassin Shi is afraid of provoking criticism." If the court doesn't say it, the princess will not like it, the military advisor has exceeded his authority too much, and it is not a wise move to protect himself!"
Ning Ze knew that he had good intentions, but he still said: "It's okay! Come here, behead Yang Ran, Yang Ying, and those who don't want to surrender!"
