Chapter 4 Preparations for Pyongyang

Hai Shi, Zhongying.

Li Rusong gathered overnight to discuss many matters, and after the meeting, he didn't need to eat, so he walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and then retreated from the left and right soldiers, and silently walked to the tent of the black-robed woman Pei Lingyun.

The two Jurchen soldiers who were on vigil arched their hands and said, "Admiral Li, the shaman knows that you will come, and he has already ordered that you can directly enter the account without passing the message." ”

Li Rusong knew that this Pei Lingyun had the power of clairvoyance and ears, and he was not surprised, so he directly opened the camp curtain and walked in.

At a glance, I saw Pei Lingyun sitting at the head of the tent, closing his eyes and practicing the Fa, four skulls surrounded by black qi slowly rotating around him, and the changing handprints of his slender hands pulled these black qi and slowly restrained the skull from turning.

"If you are worried about the Japanese people deceiving you and sending someone to assassinate you, you don't have to worry, since I promised to protect you thoroughly, I will naturally not let Xiao Xiao hurt your life. As for the stranger you mentioned, I have my own way of solving it. Pei Lingyun put away the black qi of the skull and said back to his sleeve. The four skulls, which had lost their black energy, regained their pale color, and fell to the table with a thud, rolling around.

"Thanks to the grace of the immortals," Li Rusong sighed and said: "However, the great trouble of this general is not these warps of the Wa Kingdom who troubled Korea, but the Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou behind him!"

Since the Liaodong soldiers and horses expedition to Ningxia, the Jianzhou Department took the opportunity to attack other Jurchen tribes...... The forty Jurchen soldiers who served the immortals in the camp were originally Yehebu warriors, one of the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi. Today, Yehebu once again urgently sent a message that Nurha's fierce soldiers and horses had a great plan against the Haixi Jurchen. Since Shangxian has become a shaman, and the people outside the Saiwai sect have all listened to the orders of Shangxian, can they go north to collect the hearts of the Jurchens in Haixi immediately after some time, after the Japanese people are driven out of Pyongyang......

Pei Lingyun stared at Li Rusong with a very strange look, and chuckled: "It seems that Admiral Li really treats the little girl as your eagle dog pawn..."

Li Rusong's face changed, and he hurriedly changed his words, "The immortal chief is too worried, it is really a difficult state affair, and it can be for the common people to live..."

"Li Rusong, I think you still don't know what kind of existence I Pei Lingyun is, do you think I will have your so-called Bodhisattva heart? Still care about the common people? You should be glad that you met me, the main exercise is "Lingxingshu", not the "Hundred Ghosts Night Technique" to exorcise evil spirits and ghosts, if you meet my senior brother, hehe..." Pei Lingyun's eyes flashed with a strange color, and she said word by word: "I'm afraid that you mortal soldiers have already become ghost slaves driven by him..."

Li Rusong's throat moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand for a long time and retired.

After Li Rusong left, Pei Lingyun got up and paced in the tent. Just mentioned her senior brother, which made Pei Lingyun feel slightly uneasy.

Pei Lingyun's senior brother is called Wan Fayi, who is a child of the Kunyue faction's very powerful Xiuzhen family, who is ruthless and tyrannical by nature, and fled to the Wu clan ancient village after killing his cousin and taking away his Zhuji Dan, and after the foundation was successfully built, he was accepted as a disciple by Pei Lingyun's master Gu Yue, because his cultivation was higher than Pei Lingyun, and he was Pei Lingyun's senior brother.

More than 30 years ago, Guzhai sent six disciples of the foundation building period with a hundred disciples of the Qi cultivation period to sneak into the Langya secret realm to collect raw materials, and tragically encountered the blood Jiao tragedy, she and Wanfa escaped by luck, but they were also trapped in the ancient caves of the mountain range, if they hadn't found the ancient teleportation array and the teleportation order to escape, I am afraid that she would have been buried in the belly of Jiao.

As soon as they were teleported to this other realm, the two clashed, because there was only one piece of the teleportation order, and if it was placed on either person, the other would not be at ease. In addition, the teleportation time is still short, and the Fear Blood Jiao is still hovering there, so the two of them have to stay in this foreign realm for a while, and they have to hurry up to cultivate during this time.

The two of them went out of the ancient monk ruins where the teleportation array was located and sealed the exit. Originally, he planned to find a valley with a little aura in the mountains and cultivate to restore his vitality, but Wan Fayi was malicious and attacked Pei Lingyun with the spirit beast blood soul spirit snake he raised, intending to seize the teleportation order. However, Pei Lingyun had already prepared, trapped Wanfa Yi with the Wu Clan's unique spirit binding array, seized one of his blood soul spirit snakes, and fled eastward from the mountains, and there was no news of Wan Fa Yi after that.

Until a few months ago, Zu Chengxun, who was defeated in the first battle in Korea, informed Li Rusong of the war, and Pei Lingyun learned about it from Li Rusong, and determined that Wan Fayi was in the Japanese army at this time, and was also respected by the Japanese people as the great master of Jiawei.

Yesterday, she investigated Wu Lu with her divine sense, and the story narrated by Yang Peng was naturally known to her, and after a little thought, she knew that it must be her senior brother Wan Fayi who set up a blood pool gathering spirit array in that town, and cooperated with the soul snatching formation to sacrifice the blood and soul spirit beasts of the people in a town, so as to refine the trace of spiritual power in the soul of mortals. The spiritual power here is thin, in order to break through the early stage of foundation building, he can only take the minor "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Technique" as the main major, the hundred ghosts night walking must take the soul and refine the soul, thinking that it is the critical moment when he must have broken through the bottleneck, otherwise he will not let a sleepy mortal escape, and combined with the momentum of the sky falling apart soon after, he must have broken through the early stage of foundation building and become a monk in the middle stage of foundation building... And this was already more than twenty years ago ... Today's Pei Lingyun is still in the early stage of foundation building, and in the past thirty years, she has only cultivated several witch spells that do not require spiritual power to the fullest, and her own cultivation has not improved much, which is why she retreated and risked the danger that the evil beast blood Jiao was still guarding the other end of the teleportation array.

Caring for his thoughts, Pei Lingyun took out the teleportation order in the storage bag, and stroked the dense formation marks on it and was silent.

At this time, Li Rusong was also pacing in the camp with a lot of worries, and 20 personal guards guarded the left and right, and investigated the recent situation of the troops in the name of patrolling the camp.

Li Ning, who was beaten with a cane yesterday, followed behind Li Rusong with some cringe, and said, "Admiral, Zu Chengxun needs to meet the Admiral in person. ”

Li Rusong's eyes exuded a hint of fierceness, and he didn't reply without replying: "Send a message to Shen Weijing, let him and Zu Chengxun go to the Taoyi ten miles away, and I will go to inspect the baggage transfer later." In addition..."Li Rusong beckoned, took out a ringing arrow from the quiver behind the guard, handed it to Li Ning, and said: "Give this thing to Tong Ninggui of Ye Hebu, don't say anything, he will understand." ”

Li Ning answered, took the arrow, and then retreated.

Li Rusong inspected the camps as usual, especially in the Liaodong barracks, adding bedding for the soldiers, turning off the lights for the soldiers, and treating his soldiers like children.

An hour later, when everything was done, he mounted his horse prepared by his own soldiers, and twenty light horsemen took advantage of the night to leave the camp and go straight to the pottery post ten miles away.

Taoyi is a temporary turnover point for military rations and equipment, and the men of the post station have already been convinced, prepared a vacant warehouse, and welcomed Li Rusong in.

There are several stools and a low table in the storeroom, on which some food and pen, ink, paper and inkstone are placed.

Shen Weijing sat facing each other with another burly general, each with their own thoughts.

As soon as Li Rusong entered the warehouse, the two hurriedly got up and waited: "See the Admiral!"

Li Rusong threw the horsewhip to his own soldiers and advised: "Send four people to keep an eye on the direction of the camp, but there is a fireworks message, report it immediately." ”

The soldiers retreated, and there were only three people left in the entire storehouse.

Li Rusong sat down with a gloomy face, ignored the burly general, and asked Shen Weijing instead: "The investigation of the matter of the aliens of the Japanese country has been clarified?"

The burly general was Zu Chengxun, who was almost wiped out in the first battle with the Japanese people in North Korea, and then secretly believed to Li Rusong, saying that the Japanese country has a vast number of aliens, who can take people's heads from a hundred zhang away, and even devour souls, and the demonic spirit is monstrous, and it is not human power that can defeat at all.

Originally, if he hadn't gone to Ningxia, Li Rusong would have scoffed at this kind of ghost and god theory. But after seeing the unpredictable methods of Pei Lingyun, who was revered as a shaman by the grassland herdsmen, in Ningxia, he finally believed that there were such strangers in this world.

Relying on intelligence, it was learned that this shaman was not a steppe man, but a strange man recruited by the Tatar chieftain Bibai. And the strangest thing about this strange person is that she likes to collect some jade, because Bibai can provide her with these jade, so she works for Bibai and kills several Ming generals with the art of gods and ghosts.

After learning the inside story, Li Rusong collected dozens of similar jade stones of various colors with the help of the imperial court, and as a result, he recruited this strange man with the art of gods and ghosts, and finally was able to break through Ningxia and achieve great success.

This time, when he learned that Zu Chengxun was defeated by the aliens of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Rusong specially invited Pei Lingyun to accompany the camp to make a foolproof strategy.

Hearing Li Rusong's inquiry, Shen Weijing immediately replied: "The Japanese people call that stranger Jiawei, who is good at devouring souls, and also likes to collect some weird jade. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the chief of the Japanese kingdom, used these jade stones to capture the hearts of this stranger and contribute to his invasion of Korea. ”

Li Rusong's eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This battle is not something that can be won by relying on the bravery of soldiers in the past, but fortunately, there is also a stranger in my camp, and listening to his words, he seems to know the origin of the alien in the Japanese country... I'll take care of that. ”

Shen Weijing opened his mouth and said, "My lord, do you believe that there are immortal people in this world?"

Li Rusong glanced at Shen Weijing strangely and said, "For no reason, why do you say this?"

"According to the information that the lower officials learned in the Wa Kingdom, the aliens of the Wa Kingdom are said to have the method of immortality, and they used this as a lure to recruit more than ten apprentices to pass on their skills..."

Li Rusong shook his hand and said: "I already knew about this matter when I discussed it with the alien named Pei Lingyun in the camp, don't look at the appearance of the alien who claims to be an immortal is only twenty-eight years old, but he is older than me, and he has lived for more than a month, it seems that the exercises they practice can not only be immortal but also have the ability to stay beautiful..."

"My lord, don't you want to live forever?" Shen Weijing said in a very seductive tone: "Xiaguan and Konishi Yukishi are old friends, and now the Japanese alien Jiawei is in Pyongyang City, according to Konishi Yuki's letter, Jiawei has a peaceful temperament, accepts a wide range of apprentices, and has served Toyotomi Hideyoshi for more than a year, and has accepted thirteen disciples and more than 100 disciples... If your lord..."Shen Weijing suddenly stopped talking and looked at Li Rusong with some sneer.

Li Rusong glanced at Shen Weijing with contempt, and then turned his gaze to Zu Chengxun and said: "The army will march to the city of Pyongyang tomorrow, I have arranged for Wu Weizhong to send a thousand soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as North Korean soldiers tonight, and you will also send a thousand soldiers and horses to find a capable battalion general to disguise together, it is best for you to personally lead the team to sit in the town, go around to the hilly area of the southern city of Pyongyang, and wait for the order." ”

Because of the defeat of Zu Chengxun in the first time in Korea, coupled with the exaggeration of the combat strength of the Japanese army in the army, he was just beaten by Li Rusong some time ago for a reason. After all, he was born in the Liaodong Army, and when he fought with Wu Weizhong's southern soldiers, he was bound to get the merits of the war to himself, and Wu Weizhong would be the top bag if he lost the war. Immediately, he received the order and prepared to order his soldiers and cronies to go down and make arrangements.

After Zu Chengxun took the order to leave, Shen Weijing on the side was quite uncomfortable. Don't look at the army, Li Rusong was quite kind to Shen Weijing, but in fact, when the two first met, Li Rusong wanted to find a random reason to slaughter Shen Weijing's sacrificial flag. Could it be that Shen Weijing is clever and let Li Rusong know his value, I am afraid that this diplomat of the Three Kingdoms who is circling in the Ming Dynasty has long been buried in the soil and has become a pile of dry bones.

"Go on..."Li Rusong took out an arrow from the quiver, lit up some of the oil lamps on the case with the arrow, and said indifferently: "Didn't you talk about immortality?"

Shen Weijing immediately excitedly said: "Xia Guan doesn't know what the power of the aliens under the adult's account is, but Jiawei on the side of the head of Konishi does have great magical powers unknown to the gods and ghosts, and he is not taboo about accepting apprentices, but he is very concerned about the qualifications of apprentices, and every apprentice needs to check the qualifications in person." Xia Guan felt that this expedition could start with this stranger. ”

Li Rusong raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Weijing a little strangely, and said, "You mean to recruit this alien from the Wa Kingdom named Jiawei?"

Shen Weijing smiled and said: "My lord, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, although this Jiawei is not my Ming people, but he is not a native of the Wa Kingdom, it is said that he is a strange person, but he arrived in the Wa Kingdom four years ago and was recruited by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Since the Wa Kingdom can take it for its own use, why can't I?"

"Okay, there is no problem on the official's side, if you can really recruit this stranger to come over, the official will ask for a great credit for you!" Li Rusong stood up and said.

"My lord..."Shen Weijing opened his mouth, but finally couldn't help but say, "Don't you want to introduce this alien with immortal ability to the saint?"

Li Rusong said with disdain on his face again: "It seems that you really don't give up, and you want to take the opportunity to face the saint! If the first emperor Jiajing who asks for immortals is here, I'm afraid you will be Yan Song's second..."

Shen Weijing's face was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "My lord misunderstood Xia Guan, Xia Guan is really dedicated to being an adult..."

At this moment, a guard hurriedly knocked on the door and came in and said, "Admiral, there is a message in the camp!"

Li Rusong's face tightened, and he ignored Shen Weijing, and immediately ordered: "Go back to the camp!"

Twenty light horsemen left the pottery post and immediately rode out to the camp. Halfway through, several Jurchen warriors galloped towards him, and Tong Ninggui, who was the leader, immediately dismounted, and said to Li Rusong: "Admiral, half an hour ago, suddenly a demonic wind attacked the camp, and the shaman saw that the color of the back changed greatly, and ordered the villain to bring a message to the Admiral, and then flew away, following the demon wind to the south. ”

The Jurchen warrior official named Tong Ninggui said very standardly, and Li Rusong's faces changed. In the middle of the sound, everyone galloped towards the camp to prevent the camp from being bombed.

But fortunately, the demonic wind came and went quickly, and most of the officers and men in the army were ignorant, but it was the night wind that blew so many tents away.

Li Rusong sat in the camp and prevented the bombing of the camp from happening, and then asked what Tong Ninggui's shaman had said.

Tong Ninggui replied: "Jiawei on the Japanese side has her own to entangle, and there is no need to worry about the magic of gods and ghosts when she pulls out the camp and marches to Pyongyang tomorrow." ”

When Li Rusong heard this, he was speechless.

As soon as he arrived, Wu Weizhong's 1,000 men and horses and Zu Chengxun's 1,000 men and horses had already joined forces, and 2,000 horses and horses were in place, silently out of the camp, and under the leadership of the North Korean Li Youji, they quietly marched towards Pyongyang City along the hilly path, and within one day, they would bury their troops in the south of Pyongyang City.

At this time, it was Luo Shangzhi's personal soldiers who were looking at Li Youji, including Wu Lu.

Wu Lu raised his head and suddenly looked at the sky, only to see two meteors suddenly flashing one after the other, and disappeared in an instant.

Wu Lu didn't know that the two meteors, the former one was Pei Lingyun who was traveling with a royal weapon, and the latter one was the initiator of the strange and strange things that Yang Peng described.
