Chapter 212: The National Teacher's Request
"Chief Soldier, there is no water in the city, what should we do?"
"Let me think about it!"
There is no water in the city outside the city, but there is an inexhaustible supply of living water in the ravines outside the city.
Zhang Beihai didn't think about sending soldiers out of the city to get water.
But on the other side of the huge ravine, there was a thousand-man squad, armed with bows and arrows, pushing cannons.
Do nothing, just stay by the water's edge, wait for them to come and get water, and then shoot people to death with a flurry of arrows!
As long as he went out to get water, he didn't return to the city alive, even if Zhang Beihai thought that he would send out seven or eight thousand people in one go, just to get water!
Although the other party only has a team of 1,000 people, the other party is ready, and the ravine with water is not far from the city gate, and his seven or eight thousand people go out of the city gate, and they can't set up a formation at all, so they can only let the other party slaughter.
So it's not an opponent at all, it's just a one-sided slaughter!
This made Zhang Beihai very aggrieved!
After sacrificing hundreds of people and horses, Zhang Beihai no longer let people go out to fetch water, which can't be fought at all!
I can only cower in the city, not daring to make any moves!
It's just that the carrier pigeons that asked for help didn't know how many flew to the capital!
"I'm smiling generously!"
Zhang Beihai lamented.
The general comforted: "It's not our incompetence, it's really this fang borrowing the power of the gods, and it's really hateful!" β
Unexpectedly, Qian Liang Sima snorted on the side: "It's too early to find a reason this time!"
It's just that I never thought that Dong Tianbao would actually lead his team of 1,000 people to surrender to Zuo Yun!
Zuo Yun is a person, let's not say whether he will fight for the time being, but Dong Tianbao's subordinates are extremely fierce!
Even if there are only 1,000 people, they can withstand the soldiers and horses led by other battalion officers several times!
It's really a good worker!
This time, in terms of the battlefield, there are gods to help change the terrain and water veins, and occupy the geographical advantage.
We have been thirsty for water for two days, and although we are still alive, the horses are running out of water.
Our morale has plummeted, and people have been lost!
As for the time, after thinking about it, the other party still accounts for more.
The other party has the right time, place and people, what are we waiting for?
Is it the same as the other party, is there a god to help, or is it ......"
The gods help each other!
Zhang Beihai recalled that at the head of the city, the city emperor of Jinhua Mansion fell from the city to the city, in pain, rolling on the ground, covered in dust, he knew that these ghosts and gods were actually unreliable.
The other party obviously has the means to restrain these ghosts and gods!
Therefore, you can only ask the court for help!
The flying pigeon was very fast, and it was so fast that it didn't take a day for the capital to receive a letter of help from Zhang Beihai!
Zhang Beihai's letter of request for help did not enter the imperial study, but directly entered the National Teacher's Mansion.
"Ridiculous!"
"Zhang Beihai has seven or eight thousand elite soldiers and horses, and when he was surrounded by more than 1,000 people on the other side, he sent flying pigeons for help!
What do you say about the land mountain gods changing the terrain and landforms?
It also cut off the water veins in the city, which is simply unheard of!
National teacher, in my opinion, this seems to be the absurd reason he Zhang Beihai found to shirk his responsibility!
Slippery world! β
The National Teacher's Mansion is very large, as big as the Little Jinluan Palace, and it is full of civil and military officials.
The national teacher sitting on the main seat is not like a national teacher at the moment, but a bit like an emperor.
At this moment, it was the Ministry of Rites who spoke.
This is a militaristic affair.
Why is this the Book of Rites?
Because the secretary of the military department was not here, he went to the north, and it seemed that he was going to contact the border army and do something.
Therefore, in the bustling noise, the loudest speaker is the Ministry of Rites, because the affairs of the gods and goddesses in the world are under the control of the Ministry of Rites!
And the land god, that is, the land god and the mountain god who rebelled against Zuo Yun, are logically under the control of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, he spoke righteous words, and he didn't know that his identity was actually the word ration!
Maybe one day he was really hollowed out by the centipede essence, and at that moment he would regret taking the initiative to take refuge in this strange national teacher!
Cihang Pudu had already received the news from the city emperors before the carrier pigeon came, and the king of people who had not yet returned to the throne seemed to be very powerful!
Just because of a peep, it makes a state capital city emperor feel painful, not only majestic but also domineering!
However, if you don't strangle you to death before you return to the throne and when you are weak, will you wait for you, a dignified king, to rectify the world slightly, and re-talk to the gods and Buddhas about the rules and principles of the human race?
There is no king after being a god, this is the consensus of heaven and earth!
When the military officials below were arguing noisily about whether the news that Zuo Yun used the land and mountain gods to change the terrain and water veins was true or false, he had already confirmed that the other party did have this ability.
Letting the mountain gods and the land change the terrain and terrain to help the army attack or restrain the enemy, this method that no one has used for thousands of years seems to be so logical in the hands of the human king!
And Zhang Beihai fell into the disadvantage in this way.
As for how to solve this problem?
"Okay, you guys disperse first, I'll figure out how to solve this matter!"
For Cihang Pudu, the civil and military officials are just reserved rations, and if they don't eat now, they will be treated well, which does not mean that they will not eat in the future!
To put it bluntly!
These are nothing but carriers of luck, stepping stones of fate, reserved rations, food for action!
So whether they are there or not, it's just a show!
The important thing is the emperor!
Also, the Buddha behind yourself!
After all the civil and military officials retreated, Cihang Pudu put on the incense and enshrined it under a strange thousand-armed Buddha statue!
"Disciple Cihang Pudu, there is something to ask the Buddha ......"
I don't know when the Buddha statue became lifelike from the clay tire wood sculpture, and at this moment he opened his eyes slightly, and his lips opened lightly: "Come on!" β
"That human king can now drive the gods, change the terrain and landforms, and use them in warfare!
The general soldiers sent by the imperial court led several times the number of men and horses of the other party, but they were beaten and had no power to fight back, so they could only retreat to the city for help.
Therefore, now the disciples are seeking a way to break the situation! β
Is it difficult?
It's not difficult to say, in fact, it's really not difficult, it's just a fight of a few thousand people, it's a big deal of tens of thousands!
So what?
For thousands of years of demons, they have seen a lot of this kind of big scene!
However, since ancient times, the place where the two armies are at war is full of evil spirits, whether it is demons and monsters or gods and Buddhas, they must be avoided from afar!
They don't take tens of thousands of people into account on weekdays, but if these tens of thousands of people are sergeants, and they are sergeants who can gather in formation, then it's a different matter!
Therefore, when the two armies are at war, there are very few demons or gods and Buddhas!
This is the rule of humanity!
I can't tolerate the gods and Buddhas not to talk about it!
So don't look at the war with only a few thousand people and tens of thousands of people, but this is no longer something that the gods and Buddhas or demons and monsters can interfere in.
The battle of the human army can only be participated in by the people and horses of the human court, and to put it simply, only the human race can participate!
γ
"Gods and Buddhas are not allowed to meddle in human affairs, this is the rule of humanity.
Now, since the king of people has broken this rule, it will give us a chance.
There are many caves in the three mountains and five mountains, and there is so much help in the thirty-three days, you can go and ask.
But only if it is
There is a pardon from the imperial court! β
The Buddha statue gently finished the last and most crucial words, and lost its spirituality again!
Cihang Pudu knew that this was because His Holiness was worried that he had missed Xingzang, after all, the ancestors of the human race who guarded the rules of the world were not vegetarians!
The court's pardon is a routine that can be played within the rules of the human race, and His Holiness has already pointed out the way for him.
"Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to see Your Majesty!"
In the Imperial City, the Imperial Study.
The emperor sat alone, watching the twists and turns, but his mind did not know where to go.
"The National Teacher Arrives in ......"
The Emperor was furious, but helpless.
This can't be passed through, and he goes straight in, obviously not taking himself in his eyes, but he can't do anything about him.
This kind of grievance!
It's really uncomfortable!
But so what?
"The national teacher is here?"
He could only laugh and say hello with a stiff face.
Cihang Pudu bowed slightly and saluted him, without smiling or smiling, but everything was as usual: "Meet Your Majesty, the poor monk entered the palace this time to ask for a will." β
The emperor was stunned, the civil and military officials didn't look for themselves to go to the court, what did it matter if they didn't take the will?
However, when he saw the will handed over by Cihang Pudu and asked him to seal it, he understood that this had to be stamped by himself to be effective.
[Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:
I heard that there are Zuoyun thieves in the world who collude with some ghosts and gods to rebel, and when the soldiers and horses of the court are crusading now, the rebels have the help of ghosts and gods, making it difficult for the soldiers and horses of the court to enter!
The majesty of the imperial court is irreversible, and it is inevitable that the country will not be a country, so it has to make this decision.
Order: The national teacher invites the masters of the three mountains and five mountains, as well as the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth to help the army rebel!
Chin this! γ
Looking at the will drawn up by the national teacher, the emperor understood that it seemed that the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebels had suffered a major defeat, and it was possible that the human king led the ghosts and gods to attack the imperial court's soldiers and horses.
The emperor didn't know whether to rejoice or be sad at this moment!
After all, it was the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who suffered losses, and it stands to reason that he should feel sad.
However, the soldiers and horses sent out by the national teacher are no longer under his control, and they can't even be regarded as soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
This seems to have nothing to do with me!
However, the emperor knows that he has to stamp his seal today, and he has to cover it if he doesn't!
Since the national teacher took this will and asked him to seal it, then he had only one choice.
Cihang Pudu watched the emperor personally stamp the big seal on the will, and then put it away with satisfaction, then bowed slightly, said that the minister retired and left.
The emperor looked at the distant back of the national teacher and sighed, but what could he do?
Cihang Pudu summoned a cloud, stood up, and went to Wutai Mountain!
Chen Yun didn't know all this.
Because he was taking prisoners.
However, he was not familiar with this matter, but fortunately, when Old Man Zuo retired from the army, he became an official of a thousand households, and he had a lot of experience.
Zuo Qianhu and Dong Tianbao are also officials of thousands of households, leading the army, and they are familiar with receiving prisoners.
Zhang Beihai has already run away!
After three days of thirst in the city, more than 3,000 people in the city, plus seven or eight thousand soldiers and two or three thousand mules and horses, carried three days in the city without a drop of water, which is already a miracle.
Zhang Beihai's guards searched the city for a long time before they could find enough drinking water for them to recover some physical strength, and then, under the cover of night, quietly left.
Leave behind a lot of soldiers, horses, and people!
Without drinking water for three days, a normal person can only collapse on the ground, and even have no strength.
Of course, if you still want to save some strength, you can only take something to catch your urine and drink it.
Obviously, there weren't many such warriors in the city, and perhaps they didn't think about it.
Therefore, when Chen Yun led the troops into the city, he saw people lying on the ground!
"If we had allowed people to get water, maybe it wouldn't have been like this, right?"
Fu Yuechi had never seen such a tragic situation, and some sympathy overflowed.
But she was pulled by her sister Fu Qingfeng and didn't let her continue to speak.
"We have fewer troops than the other side, and this decision is already the best way to reduce casualties on both sides.
Although the killing was a bit too heavy when preventing the other party from fetching water, compared to the big battle between the two sides, the result now can be regarded as a great joy for everyone! β
Wen Ji sighed, this little girl was still naΓ―ve, and she whispered to the little girl: "Now they are just thirsty and dehydrated!"
As long as you drink water, recover for half a day, and you'll be fine! β
Chen Yun didn't have time to pay attention to them, in the war, women rarely participated, and it was normal to be short-sighted.
So the thoughts of these naΓ―ve little girls have nothing to do with him, he is facing the trembling Guobei County Land God at the moment.
"Your Excellency, the little god has never been offended before, but it was pressed down by the imperial court, so I had to deal with the errand.
Would you like to spare me this time?
The little god is willing to exchange the divine position with extremely important information! β
The god of the land, to put it bluntly, is a ghost god!
The reason why ghosts and gods can survive in the world forever is because of the blessing of the god, and the godship is recognized by both the world and the underworld.
Otherwise, ghosts also have a lifespan!
Unless there is a way, there is a way to cultivate ghosts and immortals, or enter the Yin God Department of the Underworld.
Ghosts and gods who are accustomed to gods, without the support of gods, are actually not much different from wandering ghosts, but they are just stronger.
This is also why, the land god of Guobei County begged for mercy, and what he wanted was that Chen Yun would not break his god position.
"Tell me?"
Chen Yun didn't agree, nor did he disagree, and in the curious eyes of Yan Chixia and the others, he asked the land god to carefully explain the information he had.
Let's see what kind of information can give him the confidence to take it out in exchange for his god position?
"Zhang Beihai left these seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, in fact, he wanted to harm you with this!"
This short sentence aroused Chen Yun's curiosity: "Oh?
How so?
Tell me in detail! β
The god of the land prostrated and said, "The soldiers and horses in the city, the people eat and chew the horses, and they have eaten almost all the grain and grass these days."
We are a small county, and we don't have much grain in stock, how can we afford to supply so many soldiers and horses?
In the past few days, it is said that the city has cut off water, and even if it is continuous, the food will soon run out!
The baggage of the imperial court will never be sent again this time, and he will leave you these seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, as well as three or four thousand people who no longer have a grain of grain in their families.
I want you to watch them starve to death!
Because he had already received a reply from the imperial court before leaving, all the large merchant grain depots in the surrounding prefectures and cities had been emptied!
Can't afford the daily consumption of 10,000 people!
You don't have anywhere to buy it!
Even if you steal, there's nowhere to steal!
Before leaving, he said, "If one of the ten thousand people dies of starvation in your hands......
Look at this humane rule, do you help it! β
