725: Shake the world
With the exhaustion of the Buddha's light in this Buddha's palm, the battle under the city of Haozhou also ended. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After experiencing the scene of ghost cruelty and wreaking havoc, all the Great Zhou soldiers present were already deeply convinced that Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide, the brothers, died at the hands of this evil demon. Now that the ghost remnants have been destroyed by the Divine Palm, these soldiers naturally have a deep sense of gratitude to the Fourteen Princes.
Lu Zhen is dead, and the "Ten Dragons" are also dead. The high-level people in the Great Zhou country who can speak can be said to have been wiped out so far. So in the future, where will Da Zhou go? For a while, all of these soldiers present were at a loss and at a loss as to what to do, and they were deeply frightened and uneasy.
Chang Yuchun, who saw the opportunity, immediately shouted loudly and suggested that everyone submit to the Fourteenth Prince. In troubled times, in order to pursue survival, it is only natural to follow the strong. What's more, the Fourteenth Prince has a life-saving grace for everyone. Therefore, it is often met with a call of spring, even if there is a hundred responses. Tens of thousands of soldiers did not hesitate, and immediately knelt down to salute the fourteenth prince, willing to submit.
The fourteenth prince naturally did not refuse. At that moment, he ordered to clean up the battlefield, bury the pot and cook, and let the soldiers rest for a while. At the same time, he ordered everyone to capture the Chai brothers and put them in prison.
Bold, one of the Chai brothers, was already blasted with an arm by the Jiuyang Little Thunderbolt, and he was seriously injured and very weak. In order to save his brother, Borshu also wasted most of his internal strength. In the fierce battle just now, they were affected by the residual strength of the Divine Palm, and they were injured and injured, so that only half of their lives were left. Where is the strength to arrest and escape?
At that moment, the two brothers were helpless, and they were both prisoners under the stairs and were imprisoned in the cell of Haozhou City. Both of them were chained on their pipa bones, and their martial arts were all banned, no matter how great their skills were, they couldn't use them. Full of ambition, it turned into flowing water.
The two Chai brothers, as the descendants of the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, are also the descendants of the upright Han people. Determined to restore the country and revitalize the Chai family, it was not a sin in the first place. But a thousand mistakes, they should not take refuge in the Mongolian Tatars of the Yuan Dynasty and help the abuse. There is no doubt that this is the act of a traitor, and the sin is unforgivable.
One thought is wrong, and there is no return. Now that the Chai brothers are in the hands of the Fourteenth Prince, death is inevitable. However, there is no hurry. Because in the hearts of the two brothers, there are still secrets of martial arts such as the Hun Tian Bao Jian, the Buddha Soldier version of the Rulai Divine Palm, the Ruyi Zen, and the Hun Tian Shen Palm.
Although, the Armillary Treasure and the Divine Palm that the Chai brothers know are only fragments. The fourteen princes already have the whole innate gossip Qiankun Gong and the five-element version of the Divine Palm in their hearts. For these fragments, it's actually not very eye-catching. However, the stones of other mountains can attack jade. Even if you don't practice, using it as a reference is beneficial and harmless.
In addition, the Chai brothers know these unique skills, which are the essence of martial arts. It would be a pity if it was lost. Record them and pass them on to future generations. Although it cannot be complete, it is better than complete annihilation.
Therefore, before the Chai brothers explain everything in their hearts, their two lives can still be saved. However, this is also a later story, so I will not mention it for the time being.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Great Zhou rested for half the night. When it was daybreak, they gathered again. Then, the Fourteenth Prince and Han Lin'er led the Ying Tianfu army, plus these surrendered troops, and set off together to Zhang Shicheng's station to receive the fruits of victory.
In Zhang Shicheng's station, there were still about 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing that their former comrades had turned against each other, these people also knew that the general trend had gone and could not resist. So they laid down their weapons and surrendered to the new master. The mountains of grain, grass and military materials in the camp, together with Shen Wansan, who had been imprisoned by the Seventh Prince of Quanzhen, were all owned by the Fourteenth Prince.
With these military funds, the White Lotus Sect was able to get out of the predicament in one fell swoop, and its morale soared. Under the joy of everyone, they couldn't help but shout long live. But the name of the fourteenth prince was ranked before Han Lin'er. But even so, no one in the army, including Han Lin'er herself, was unimpressed. It seems that this arrangement is a matter of course.
Three days later, all the troops had been reorganized. The Fourteenth Prince handed over half of them to Han Lin'er, and asked her to lead the troops to attack Zhang Shicheng's territory together with Moon Shadow Ji. The Fourteenth Prince himself, together with Chang Yuchun, led the other half of the men and horses to attack Zhang Shicheng's territory from another way. It was agreed that the two sides would meet under Gaoyou City.
The two armies set off on the same day, and they were like bamboos. Everywhere you go along the way, you can see the wind falling. A month later, the two sides successfully met under Gaoyou City. Zhang Shicheng's second brother Zhang Shiyi, and his fourth brother Zhang Shixin, see that the general trend has gone and is irretrievable. They were not willing to surrender. So in desperation, he jumped from the castle tower and committed suicide. This is the opening of Gaoyou City.
After the Fourteenth Prince occupied Gaoyou, he returned to Yingtian with Han Lin'er and sat in this land where the tiger was dominating. On the one hand, the White Lotus Sect forces were rectified and reorganized. On the other hand, they sent Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu, with a total of 100,000 troops, to set out to sweep the territory of the Great Zhou. In order to sweep away the remnants of Zhang Shicheng's forces, completely swallow the entire Great Zhou, and thoroughly digest it.
Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou territory includes Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other richest anointed places in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the area is not very large, it is the most oily and watery. What's more, after laying the Great Zhou, it will be able to connect with Yingtian, accounting for half of the southeast of the country, which is enough for the foundation of the emperor.
At the same time, the Fourteenth Prince ordered Xu Da to conduct military training. Once the soldiers and horses are trained, they will send troops to the south, attack Fang Guozhen on the southeast coast, and recover the Liangguang region that was still under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. It is necessary to completely stabilize the south before going all out on the northern expedition and overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty.
At the beginning, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty broke off and led a million-strong army to attack Gaoyou, fighting for three months in a row, always in vain. Zhang Shicheng is therefore powerful in the world. Its reputation is loud, second only to Han Lin'er and Xu Shouhui. Now that Zhang Shicheng is completely destroyed, the name of the Fourteenth Prince is immediately like a rocket, and he is constantly rising. In just half a month, everyone in the world knows about it, and everyone knows about it.
The Fourteenth Prince did not join the White Lotus Sect. But he inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's power, and he and Han Lin'er went in and out of pairs together. Therefore, after the destruction of Bianliang City, the White Lotus Sect disciples scattered all over the country had already regarded the Fourteen Princes as their own people. Hearing the news that the Fourteenth Prince and King Xiao Ming were in Yingtian, these disciples came from all over the country to vote. In just over a month, 100,000 people have gathered.
With the replenishment of this batch of new forces, the White Lotus Sect was finally able to recover its vitality. But at this time, Han Lin'er officially announced that the White Lotus Sect would implement a dual-sect system. He is the left sect leader, and the fourteenth prince is the right sect leader, and the two are not distinguished from each other, and they go hand in hand.
Having said that, since ancient times, the right has been respected in rituals. After the fourteenth prince assumed the right sect leader, it was faint that his status had surpassed Han Lin'er. For a time, the world was looking sideways. Everyone is speculating about when Han Lin'er will marry the Fourteenth Prince, and the two forces will truly become one.
――――
"Ladies and gentlemen, please do so. The speech that the villain served today is about Xiao Yuanheng, the marshal of the White Lotus Sect, who pacified Zhang Shicheng.
However, it is said that this Zhang Shicheng seized the southeast, resisted the imperial court, and established himself as the king, which can be described as a great rebellion. This man was born as a salt lord, is insatiable, and loves to take advantage of everywhere. Hearing that the imperial court soldiers broke through Bianliang, Han Lin'er, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, fled to Haozhou. It is like a lost dog in a hurry, busy like a fish that has slipped through the net, and it looks like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time.
It just so happens that Haozhou is in a critical place. So Zhang Shicheng raised 100,000 troops to break through Haozhou in one fell swoop, destroy the White Lotus Sect, and expand his own power. He came to ten miles outside the city of Haozhou, and after setting up camp, he ordered Lu Zhen, the forward officer of the army, to lead 20,000 iron horsemen out of the battle and go to the city to scold and fight.
Then Xiao Yuanheng went out of the city to fight. But seeing that he was wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown on his head, a robe of red brocade and a hundred flowers in Xichuan, wearing a chain of armor with a beast's face and swallowing his head, and a delicate lion belt around his waist; he carried a bow and arrow, held a spear, and sat down to shine on the jade lion in the night, which was really majestic and murderous.
The two horses intersected, and it was only one round, and Xiao Yuanheng had already stabbed Lu Zhen under the horse. Then he waved his hand, led the army, and rushed into battle to cover the kill. The troops under Lu Zhen were defeated and scattered in all directions. That Xiao Yuanheng rushed to kill from east to west, as if entering a no-man's land......"
In the capital, in a small hotel. I saw that the storyteller was foaming at the mouth, and he was talking wildly. Most of the drinkers in the hotel were attentive and listened to the eyebrows.
After all, Mr. Storyteller had never been to the South. All kinds of experiences, but it's all based on imagination, and then plagiarize storytellings such as the Three Kingdoms Commentary, and play it at will. Although it is wonderful and thrilling, in fact, it has nothing to do with the facts. It's enough to fool the average drinker. But in the ears of people of insight, it inevitably seems a little ridiculous and generous.
In the corner of the hotel, there are several men who have finished their hard work, sitting around the table eating, drinking, and having fun. The storyteller's voice was in his ears, so that these charlatans couldn't help but show disdain and ridicule.
One of them, a man dressed in black, sneered: "What kind of horses, what kind of purple and gold crowns, and red brocade robes? What kind of Lu Zhen is that, and what qualifications does he have to fight Xiao Yuanheng for 300 rounds? It's a joke. It has to be a lesson. ”
Another man in blue clothes smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it, this storyteller is just supporting his family, why bother with such a little person? Brother Jiang, extinguish the fire." ”
Another man in his forties, who seemed to be quite old and serious, said in a condensed voice: "Let's leave things far away." Senior Brother Jiang, the most important thing at the moment is the recruitment conference that will be held in three days.
It has been clearly stated on the emperor's list. As long as you can stand out at this recruitment conference, you can be sealed as 10,000 households and rewarded with 1,000 catties of gold. Glory and wealth are limitless from now on. So, no matter what, we have to win this conference!"
