Chapter 34 Thinking of Serving the Country The five factions joined the army
In order to achieve a complete victory, Shi Ning, Liu Yu, Zhang Hu, and Xie Ying resolutely decided to go deep into the hinterland of the former Qin army and chase the defeated army when there were not many remaining troops, so they formed a death squad.
After this battle, the relationship between the four of them developed by leaps and bounds, and they married Jin Lan, not seeking to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but only to die on the same day and month of the same year! Liu Yu was the eldest in terms of age, so he was worshiped as the eldest brother; Zhang Hu was the second, and worshiped as the second brother; Shi Ning was the third, and Xie Ying was the youngest, and was the fourth brother.
But it is said that the former Qin State in the north is Chang'an. In the palace, the king of heaven Fu Jian sat majestically on his dragon chair, and there were endless quarrels in the hall, and there were anti-war factions and main war factions. The anti-war faction was headed by Master Dao'an, the head of Buddhism, and Tianwang Fu firmly believed in Buddhism, and he opposed the former Qin's southern expedition to the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the grounds that he would not kill Miao. The main war faction was also led by Daokong, the core of Buddhism, and advocated that the war should end the division of China and unify China in order to give peace and peace to the world, and its ambition was supported by the former Qin Zhengnan general Fu Rong and other ministers.
Although the Heavenly King Fu Jian respected Dao'an very much, he had long had the ambition of invading the Eastern Jin Dynasty and unifying China, and decided to go south.
The former Qin poured the strength of a country and raised a million troops to the south to invade the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Heavenly King Fu Jian personally commanded it, vowing to destroy the Jin Dynasty and unify China!
The two armies confronted each other in the water, and the battle of life and death for the survival of the country was about to break out!
The Eastern Jin Dynasty is in danger!
Since the Battle of Luojian, the Metropolitan Governor Xie Shi rewarded meritorious deeds, making Liu Yu a vanguard general, and concurrently leading the Tun cavalry captain, in charge of the heavy cavalry in the army, responsible for the assault. Zhang Hu was made the vanguard general, and concurrently led the Yue cavalry captain, and was in charge of the lightly armed cavalry in the army, responsible for the pursuit. Xie Ying, the captain of the promoted team, was an infantry captain, in charge of the army, and was responsible for guarding. Shi Chang Shi Ning was promoted to the third rank and promoted to the captain of Changshui, in charge of the Hu cavalry in the army, responsible for support.
The Former Qin army moved south, and the four of them were ordered to be stationed on the south bank of the river to defend against the sudden southward movement of the Former Qin army, so as to win time for the Beifu army to meet them.
As usual, Captain Shi Ning of Changshui personally came to the hill where the camp was stationed every day to watch the movements on the north bank. On this day, he found that the east side of the camp was dusty, and when he heard it, thousands of troops and horses were galloping forward!
If Liu Yu, Zhang Hu, and Xie Yao came to Shining's camp nearby, the movement would not be so big, and the defense was a big matter, the four of them each guarded the camp, and no one dared to leave without permission, if the Beifu army came, there would have been spies to report, if it was not the Jin army, it must be the Qin army!
Shi Ning urgently summoned his subordinates to the masters, team leaders, chiefs, and captains of the army, "It must be the Qin army that is coming by surprise! Everyone is ready to meet the enemy! Let go of wolf smoke and notify the three generals of Liu, Zhang, and Xie from the other three places to come to support!"
Suddenly, wolf smoke erupted, trumpets sounded in unison, and the soldiers were ready to meet the enemy.
Suddenly, I heard a report from the spies: "Report! It is not the Qin army that came from the east, and the villains under the banner do not recognize it, and the troop uniforms are also different, not like the army that came together!"
When the thousands of troops approached, Shi Ning could see that the banners they were each waving, including "Shangqing", "Lingbao", and "Five Buckets of Rice", turned out to be the three major Taoist religions!
"What are they doing here? Are they here to seek revenge against me Shi Ning again?" Shi Ning thought about it, and when he looked closely, the word "Divine Curse" flashed behind the three major sects, and when he looked at it again, there was even the banner of the East China Sea Gang! "Ah! The Divine Spell Sect and the East China Sea Gang are here, it seems that they are really looking for revenge on me!"
Shi Ning recalled that the Six Sects were looking for him in the palace to seek revenge, and he couldn't help but shudder.
When the five major factions approached, Shi Ning stood high on the top of the mountain and shouted: "You Jianghu sects, what are you doing in my Changshui Captain's Battalion? Could it be that you are here to seek revenge again? I, Shi Ning, joined the army just to leave behind the grievances of the rivers and lakes in order not to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and besides, I have sworn not to associate with the Jianghu sect, if you want to beat the attention of the Tianshi in my body, please go back! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Shangqing Heavenly Master Yang Xi said: "Ning'er, we are not here to seek revenge, let alone for any heavenly stoneγγγγγ! β
"Wait!" Shi Ning interrupted Yang Xi's words and said, "Yang Tianshi, I have broken my sword with you in the palace, and since then I have lost the relationship between master and apprentice, why do you still have the cheekiness to call me Ning'er?"
Yang Xi blamed Shi Ning for killing Zhang Ming, a disciple of the Shangqing Dynasty, and had a life-saving grace for Yang Xi and others in the palace, so Yang Xi felt guilty, and still regarded Shi Ning as his disciple, listening to Shi Ning's words, he was no longer embarrassed to call "Ning'er", and only said: "General Shi, we are not here to seek revenge, we are here to join the army!"
"Join the army!, but you came with the Divine Spell Sect!" Shi Ning was surprised for a while, and suddenly sneered: "I didn't expect you authentic sects who claim to be famous and upright, but you are willing to be in the company of crooked sects!"
Ge Chaofu, the Heavenly Master of the Lingbao Sect, said: "General Shi, you have misunderstood, at the moment, the country is in danger, and the country is gone, so what can we talk about the righteous and evil sects? We now want to unite all factions, serve the country together, and repel the dogs of the Qin Dynasty! Defend the orthodoxy of the Han people of the Great Jin Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, the priests of all factions were filled with righteous indignation and said in unison: "Yes, protect the rivers and mountains! Kill the Qin dog in the north and capture Fu Jian, the head of the Di tribe!"
Shi Ning hated the Shangqing faction and other factions that had killed the Bizi people, so there was a gap with the various sects, so he said: "It is the righteousness to protect the country with the heart, Shi Mou thanked you for the imperial court, however, my Changshui captain is in charge of the soldiers of the Hu tribe, and has never recruited people from the rivers and lakes, and I am a Qian tribe who grit my teeth with hatred, but my subordinates have Di, Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other tribes, and you often take the Han people as the center, I am afraid that you will not be harmonious, and my three brothers Liu, Zhang, and Xie are distributed in the east, south, and west respectively, so let's take refuge in them!"
Yang Xi said: "General Shi, don't say these angry words! I and others jointly wrote to the emperor to request to join the war, and we have already obtained the emperor's approval, and we will only be Xie Shi and Xie Shizheng's deputy governor to arrange for us to go to the general's camp." If General Shi doesn't believe me, I'll show you the paperwork!"
Yang Xi really showed the documents, Shi Ning saw the documents, and he didn't dare to resist the order, so he had to abandon his previous suspicions, and accepted the Shangqing faction, the Lingbao faction, the Wudou rice faction, the Divine Spell Sect, and the Donghai Gang into the camp, and chose the flat place east of the Changshui Captain camp to re-encamp, and the camps of the five factions were five or six times larger than Shi Ning's Changshui Captain Camp!
Due to the difference between the five factions and the regular army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Ning wrote to Xie Shi, the governor of the capital, to request that the five factions be given a certain degree of independence, and that a respected person be selected from the five factions as the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Among them, Cao Long, the third disciple of the Shangqing faction, known as "Little Mengde" in the rivers and lakes, is good at military books, good at fighting, was born in a soldier's family, and after the gate, Shi Ning specially wrote to ask to keep Cao Long as his deputy, worship as the lord of the building, and be responsible for the staff officer.
