Chapter 205: 100,000 Male Soldiers Recruit Xiqi
Choose an auspicious day, sacrifice the treasure flag, kill the cow, slaughter the horse, point the general Lu Xiong on the stage to resign from the king of Shang, and set off artillery to raise troops.
At this time, at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather was scorching, and the iron armor of the three armies of the 100,000 mighty merchant army went straight to Xiqi.
Although the veteran Lu Xiong is old, if he fights in a single round of marching, he can also rank in the top ten generals in the big business.
The army has passed the four major checkpoints of Tongguan, Lintong Pass, Chuanyun Pass, and Jiepai Pass, and is resting at the fifth pass that night, which is also Bishui Pass, and the military camp is brightly lit.
In the handsome camp, Lu Xiong stood up respectfully, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiong, the general of the left army, pays a visit to the national teacher. ”
It turned out that a breeze passed by in the tent, and Qingyun Zhenren, the national teacher of the current dynasty of the great merchants, appeared in the tent, and Lu Xiong was only a general of the left army, and he was naturally courteous to the national teacher like the henchman of the king of the dynasty.
"Old general, the king has an order, tonight in the Bishui Pass to secretly change soldiers and horses, this is the imperial decree, the general, please see."
After respectfully accepting the imperial decree, the old general Lu Xiong took a closer look, but raised his head in confusion, looked at the national teacher with a surprised face, and said: "This!" What do you mean, my lord? ”
"I don't have 100,000 elite troops with me, why do I need to replace them with this group of captives from the princes of various places?"
Even though Lu Xiong, who is a veteran of the battlefield, is really blinded at this moment, how can there be a war without an elite army, but instead a miscellaneous army.
Looking at Lu Xiong's puzzled face, Qingyun narrowed his eyes and said softly: "The old general knows that the 100,000 troops that have been replaced are not only prisoners, but also slaves. ”
"What!" Lu Xiong was even more shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "National teacher, the last general has never offended you, why do you want to kill the old man!" ”
If he thought he was a prisoner at first and was a little unhappy, then at this moment he was really shocked, what is a slave soldier, to put it bluntly, it is a mortal old, weak, sick and disabled!
Looking at Lu Xiong's shocked and incredulous expression, Qingyun squinted his eyes and said in a condensed voice: "Does the old general know why Xiqi has the courage to crusade against the king?" Do you know where this confidence comes from? ”
Lu Xiong was silent, angry in his heart, more puzzled, but he was suppressed by his years of career as a horseman.
"Old general, the enemy that Dashang is facing this time is not the so-called Xiqi, but the immortal god behind Xiqi Jifa, that Jiang Ziya was originally a disciple of the Yuxu Palace, and he explained the ........."
The earth-shattering secret slowly echoed in the handsome tent, and when Lu Xiong, who heard all this, was shocked and became more angry, he finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "National teacher, what do you mean?" ”
"The Xiqi army is unstable, this is the first battle, especially the battle of Jiang Ziya, according to the news from our people from Xiqi, this time Jiang Ziya will use the Jade Void Secret Method to defeat my army with that magical power."
"Therefore, in this battle, the king wants to exchange the 100,000 elite army for 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled mortals, and then the old general only needs to act according to the plan, and directly withdraw to Bishui Pass under the elite escort."
After hearing this, Lu Xiong respectfully clenched his fists and raised his head and laughed calmly: "The last general, as the general of the Great Shang Left Army, how can he escape from the battle!" ”
"The old general will definitely lose this battle!"
"Haha, there is no need for the national teacher to say it again, the general's horse leather shroud is my generation's long-cherished wish."
Looking at Lu Xiong with a determined expression, Qingyun sighed secretly, but he had a plan in his heart, maybe he could calculate it again, but then he could only look at the situation.
"That's good, I'll secretly follow the army, and the old general will directly lead the troops out of the five levels tomorrow."
Xiqi.
"Report, Dashang has an army of 100,000 people who have come out of the five passes, and now they have gone straight to Qishan."
When Jiang Ziya heard this, not only did he not panic, but showed a confident smile.
This god platform has just been built, and the "god list" is hanging, and now it is about to be sacrificed. But he didn't want a merchant army to come.
In the mansion, Ji Fa, who was blindfolded with a golden blindfold on his left eye, stood heroically in the main hall, and when he saw Jiang Ziya coming, he hurriedly got up and bowed.
"Yafu, that Yin Shang Dujun ordered Lu Xiong to lead 100,000 troops out of the five passes, and went straight to Qishan, and asked Yafu to take action to calm this turmoil."
After looking at Ji Fa's respectful expression, Jiang Ziya smiled, turned around and looked at Xiqi's civil and military officials who were a little flustered, and he laughed directly.
"You don't have to panic, Fengming Qishan and my Great Zhou is heaven's help, Chengtang Yin Shang is already sunset in the West Mountain, only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no need for too much, the king only needs to borrow 30,000 troops from the old minister, and within five days, the old minister will break this Lu Xiong's 100,000 army."
Baiguan couldn't help but be shocked, Jiang Ziya's words were too big, but Ji Fa was full of confidence, he knew that whether he could seize the Yin Shang world this time depended on how the Sage Great Sect helped him.
"As the prime minister of my Great Zhou, from today onwards, Lone will give his father the power of the Great Zhou soldiers and horses, and all the generals in the army will be at the disposal of the prime minister, even if it is lonely!"
I have to say that this Ji Fa is indeed courageous, and directly handed over all the rights of Xiqi Dazhou, and the hundred officials were shocked, and Jiang Ziya, who had received the approval of his own king, looked at the hundred officials with high spirits.
Apotheosize! As long as he has made great contributions, will he still use the Sorrowful Immortal Dao?
"Order Nangong Shi and Bukit to order 20,000 horses to camp in Qishan, block the intersection, and not let the Yin merchants and horses come, and I will raise 10,000 troops in a few days."
The mighty Xiqi army began to operate, and the 20,000 troops of Nangong Shi and Bukit were directly encamped in Qishan.
Lu Xiong's 100,000 army descended to the exhausted division, and when Tanma learned that the 20,000 army of Xiqi rebels had been encamped in front, he directly ordered the army to camp locally.
The two armies faced each other against the camp of Gang'an, and the weather was hot at this time, and it was a summer day, and the three armies could not stand, and the air umbrellas were spread.
In the early morning of the second day, Xin Jia came to the camp to meet him, and shouted directly to Nangong Shi: "The prime minister has an order to transfer the men and horses to the top of Qishan Mountain to camp." ”
After hearing this, Nangong Shi and the second general Bukit looked at each other with a look of disbelief, the weather was unbelievably hot at this time, and they still went up the mountain? Isn't this looking for death?
But their fate was difficult to disobey, and the two had to clench their fists and lead the troops to the mountain.
The two generals ordered their troops to go up the mountain, and the officers and men of the three armies were all hot and gasping and sweating, their clothes and armor were already soaked, and they had to make food, and it was inconvenient to get water, and the officers and men of the three armies immediately complained again and again.
When the Yin Shang battalion learned the news, the officers and soldiers of the three armies all laughed, especially Fei Zhong and You Hun, who accompanied the army.
"Haha, the old general, Jiang Ziya, is really dizzy, and he actually let the army go up the mountain and camp, even people like me and others who are different from the military know that this is the way to die."
"Yes, this Jiang Ziya seems to be a cultivator who is looking for immortals, maybe he still has three points of ability to catch demons, but this march to fight is simply a joke."
"No, no, didn't this Jiang Ziya kill an ordinary woman when he was catching demons in the court?"
"Haha, yes, when I heard that this Jiang Ziya defected, his dumb apprentice was deeply ashamed and directly cut off the master-apprentice relationship with this Jiang Ziya, tsk."
Fei Zhong and You Hun made fun of the soldiers in the army and also smiled, but Lu Xiong's face was a little ugly, if you look at the battle according to the mortal march, the other party is indeed a stupid move.
But he already knew the identity and background of the other party, Qi Refiner! Immortal Stream!
Lu Xiong's face was ugly, and he strode directly towards the handsome tent, and this scene saw that Fei Zhong and You Hun secretly disliked it.
"If it weren't for relying on you to make military achievements, I would really take you seriously as our two brothers."
"Yes."
Fei Zhong and You Hun didn't know that their Yin Tang was black, if it weren't for the protection of big businessmen, the two of them would have suffered a long time ago.
"National teacher, the Xiqi army is really weird."
Lu Xiong, who returned to the handsome tent, looked a little ugly, and said directly to the figure sitting alone in his handsome tent.
After hearing this, Qingyun raised his head and smiled slowly, "Sure enough, this Jiang Ziya is going to use supernatural means." ”
"National teacher, listen to you, the three thousand elites confuse each other in front of the military array, and they are even more angry."
When the veteran Lu Xiong said this, he directly hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general thanks the national teacher for accompanying him all the way, now that the war is imminent, please also ask the national teacher to return to Chaoge to meet the king, and the old minister will repay the country with death!" ”
Lu Xiong, a veteran with a determined look on his face, knew that he was mortal, and there was no need for an ordinary general like him in the future war, especially since his old blood and qi had weakened to the extreme, perhaps the horse leather shroud was the greatest comfort to him.
Looking at Lu Xiong, the old general, Qingyun sighed with some emotion, this is the other party's choice, obviously he can save a life, but for the general, he is now old, and his qi and blood are decaying and can no longer fight on the battlefield, especially for this big war, the combat methods of ordinary mortals like him have been eliminated.
"Old general, I have two paths for the general to choose, one of which the general has refused, and the second, I don't want the old general to die in the military tent like this."
"Please also ask the national teacher for advice."
Qingyun squinted his eyes and whispered in Lu Xiong's ear, "After all, there are still 3,000 elites in the old general's 100,000 army, and the old general... Wouldn't it be better to die on the battlefield in such a heroic battle than to freeze to death in this military tent? And if it succeeds, the old general's first battle is enough to be on the god list. ”
A gust of wind blew through the military tent, and there was only the figure of the old general Lu Xiong in the tent, but his face showed a firm look, and he hugged his fist in the direction of Chao Ge and shouted loudly: "King! The old minister must repay the country with death! ”
On the second day, Jiang Ziya led 10,000 horses out of the city and went out to Xiqi. Nangong Zao and Bukit went down the mountain to greet them, and went up the mountain to join forces. Thirty thousand horses and horses wrenched their tents on the hills.
The tent of the big Zhou Shuai on the top of the mountain was opened to ventilate on all sides, but all the generals were sweating, Jiang Ziya sat in the first place and looked at everyone with a smile and did not explain, and said directly to Bukit in the tent: "You go to the camp to build an earthen platform, three feet high, go and build it quickly!" ”
Although Wu Ji didn't know what to do, his master ordered him to dare to disobey and directly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order." ”
Xiqi Xin didn't need to urge the car to go up the mountain, and just stepped into the handsome tent and looked at everyone and laughed: "It's just here." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and saw the soldiers with him directly carrying the ornaments into the tent, Jiang Ziya nodded with a smile after seeing this: "No one is allowed to be missed, every soldier must be handed out." ”
"The end will know."
The generals looked at the ornaments in their hands and widened their eyes one by one, demented for a long time, one person had a big cotton jacket, and a hat, at this time, the generals looked at each other at the hot weather outside, not only the corners of their mouths twitched.
Isn't it nonsense that this hellish heat actually distributes cold things from the cold in winter?
Some of them saw Jiang Ziya's smile on his face, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and snorting coldly, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you wear it quickly, die faster." ”
The generals looked at each other, but Jiang Ziya turned a blind eye, but said with a confident smile: "Generals, don't be anxious, but it's not too late to wear them again when the wind blows tonight and the ice and snow are flying all over the sky." ”
The generals are blinded, the big sun outside is now in the dog days of the hot weather, you say that there is a strong wind, they believe it, but this ice and snow are flying all over the sky? looked at each other, if they didn't know that their prime minister was a qi refiner, they really thought they were old and dizzy.
But it was said that the earthen platform would be completed in the evening. Under the puzzled gaze of the generals of the three armies, their prime minister, Jiang Ziya, came to power, put on his sword, looked at the east Kunlun and bowed, fought with Bugang, practiced occult arts, recited the spirit chapter, and issued talisman water.
For a while, the color of the heavens and the earth changed and the wind surged, and Jiang Ziya, who was wearing a sword, even performed the Jade Void Immortal Method, and shouted directly in the direction of Kunlun: "Disciple Jiang Shang, today for all living beings in the world, use the Jade Void Dafa, the wind comes!" Thunder! ”
In the blink of an eye, the sunset instantly rolled in dark clouds, and at the same time, the wind was blowing, and the Xiqi soldiers on the mountain exclaimed in surprise and greedily enjoyed the cool wind.
And the generals on Jiang Ziya's side were shocked when they saw this, Qi Refiners! This Jiang Ziya is crazy!
"Prime Minister, the Immortal Dao must not harm mortals with supernatural powers, let alone rely on supernatural powers to influence the confrontation between the two armies of the mortal dynasty."
The direct face of the colleague changed greatly and he stepped forward in horror and said, but Jiang Ziya, who was in a cloak, smiled, "Haha, how can I not know what you think." ”
"The generals are a little restless, although my spell today is against the harmony of the heavens, but the elite army of 100,000 Yin merchants led by Na Lu Xiong, a night of ice and snow, at most some livestock will freeze to death, it will be fine."
After hearing Jiang Ziya's explanation, the generals suddenly showed their expressions, as long as they grasp this measure, they will not freeze to death, and it will not be too much.
Yin Shang Barracks.
"Happy, haha, this gale came at the right time."
Fei Zhong and You Hun laughed heartily, the scorching heat was unbearable, and they were still tired of following the army this time, but they thought that the wind suddenly rose, and the heat dissipated in an instant, and at this moment they thought that they were a great merchant with heaven's help.
"Quick, tell the old general, this is a good omen."
"Lord Hui, the general has already led three thousand elites out of the camp, saying that he is going to explore the terrain."
After hearing such a reply, Fei Zhong and You Hun were not too surprised, but smiled and waved their hands and said, "Okay, the officers and soldiers of the three armies should sleep peacefully tonight." ”
