Chapter 141: The Eastern Crusade
Wei Lianyi was originally sent by the Great Zhou to spy on Wu Geng, but he did not resist the lucrative conditions given by Wu Geng, did not resist the temptation, and directly rebelled. He believes that everyone in the world is like him, and whoever gives good benefits will follow him, and whoever is the master is the master.
With this general's approach, it is undoubtedly a slap in the face and a blow to his shortcomings, and of course he will be angry. When the most vulnerable side is touched by outsiders, it is natural to go crazy.
Although this battle was easily won, Wei Lianyi's whole person was a little bad, and he returned to the camp and did not come out again.
The news that Hojing, Wu Geng, and the army of the three eunuchs advanced and captured several cities has come back.
The Son of Heaven was furious and ordered the Duke of Zhou to take command on the same day and lead 200,000 troops to the east.
At noon, Duke Zhou led Qin Ruochan, Ling Ying, Yue Ningmei, Bai Chong and others to the high platform, and the 200,000 troops stood neatly under the stage. At this time, Gongsun Luo also came, he was a general in the army, his armor never left his body all day long, and he had a killing aura on his body.
"I've seen my lord!" Gongsun slightly saluted to Duke Zhou, according to the official rank, Gongsun slightly lower than Duke Zhou, but he was also an auxiliary minister.
Zhou Gong waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, just wait for the deputy marshal to come over now, and our oath meeting will begin!"
Gongsun looked like he was in his forties, with five long beards, and he was quite elegant, but the armor on his body exuded a stronger iron-blooded murderous aura, which was why everyone was more willing to believe that he was a general on the battlefield in front of him.
"Your Excellency, you should sit in the court, and leave the affairs of this army to the lower officials!" Gongsun Luo said at this time.
Zhou Gong just glanced at it lightly and said: "This crusade is not trivial, if I don't come, wouldn't it be a folk rumor?"
At present, there are all kinds of voices in Hojing, some people say that the third eunuch is because of Zhou Gong, because Zhou Gong is an auxiliary minister, and now he is in power, so it is natural to cut the power of Zhou Gong, the minister who assists him.
Zhou Gong was naturally unwilling to be weakened, and if he wanted to resist, he could only rebel with the three eunuchs. Some people also say that this rebellion is the alliance between the three eunuchs and Wu Geng, and it is a secret decree of the Son of Heaven to get rid of the Duke of Zhou.
Rumors are flying all over the sky, it is impossible for Zhou Gong to kill all the people who said this, if he is in person, firstly, he really needs himself on the battlefield, and secondly, he wants the rumors to be self-defeating.
Gongsun said slightly: "Rumors stop at the wise, now it is important for the Great Zhou, why do you care about those rumors, my lord?"
Zhou Gong sighed and said: "Rumors, sometimes they are also terrifying, especially when someone deliberately pushes them, in addition, it is also the will of the Son of Heaven that I am in charge this time!"
Gongsun Luo didn't continue to say anything, just stood aside, at this time Zhou Gong looked at many soldiers and shouted: "Everyone, the world is peaceful today, the people's well-being is not easy to come by, but some people want to destroy it, what do you say we should do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The first to shout was Ji Fu, the vanguard officer of the three armies, who was a loyal supporter of Zhou Gong and second only to Gongsun Luo in the army. If it weren't for Ji Fu, Zhou Gong would not have been so easy if he wanted to become the commander of the Eastern Crusade.
The blood of the 200,000 army behind instantly boiled, and Ji Fu shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill!"
The sound was like thunder, sweeping through the sky, the wind was surging, and the momentum was so strong that it was unparalleled for a while. Zhou Gong saw the morale of the army, and showed a satisfied look at the moment, he didn't say anything else, just said loudly: "The righteous army will win, go!"
Although it is true that the Duke of Zhou was a literati, he was also a great hero who followed King Wu to conquer the Emperor, and at this time the soldiers were all convinced of him, and they lined up neatly and followed behind the Duke of Zhou.
Tie Zhu was also in the crowd, and at this time he thought in his heart: "No wonder Fang Yuhan's big fool wants to be a person like Zhou Gong, it turns out that this old boy really has two times, and his life is like this, it can be regarded as wonderful!"
Thinking like this, Tie Zhu raised his head higher, after all, their Tianxin Pavilion was the closest to Zhou Gong. Otherwise, we won't be able to follow behind in this expedition.
This time, the Lonely Void Daoist originally planned to let the Woyun Daoist and the fireworker lead the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion to go out with the Duke of Zhou, and the fireworker also agreed at that time. It's just that the fireman thought about it later, and decided not to come, after all, what he was good at was only striking iron.
The Lonely Void Daoist finally agreed to the Huogong's plea, and the one who led the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion at this time was the Woyun Dao person.
The cultivation of the Woyun Dao people is now in the middle of the spiritual silence realm, coupled with his extremely powerful feng shui Dao, the combined strength is not much inferior to the lonely void Taoist who is in the realm of spiritual loneliness. With him leading the team, the lonely Taoist people are naturally relieved.
The army rushed mightily and rapidly, and in a few days, it met the enemy. Because Ji Xian and others are a four-way army, the next Zhou Gong also divided the army into four camps. Gongsun Luo was a famous general in the army, and he led an army of 50,000 to block Ji Xian's army on the right road.
And Ji Fu was dealing with the rush of the left road, and as for the right second road, it was blocked by Ling Ying, a disciple of Tianxin Pavilion, and Bai Chong.
Ling Ying is the descendant of the famous general Huanba in ancient times, and the Huanba war knife in his hand can convince the three armies, as for Bai Chong, as the young city lord of Liuguang City today, as a descendant of Shao Hao, that white tiger spear can make the blood of the soldiers boil more than Ling Ying's Huanba battle knife. Because of how Shao Hao exists, they all know it in their hearts.
After the army was divided, Woyun Daoren, Qin Ruochan, Tiezhu and others were all in Zhou Gong's military camp, and what Zhou Gong had to face was Wu Geng, the initiator of the chaos.
Qin Ruochan was the first person in the generation of young disciples of Tianxin Pavilion, and his cultivation was already in the early stage of the Void and Darkness realm, so he would naturally be reused now. At this time, a soldier came to report that there was someone in the enemy camp calling for battle.
Qin Ruochan took a step forward and said, "My lord, since the rebels started the war, we haven't won a single victory, how about this one?"
Although the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion are controlled by the Son of Heaven, they are not people in the court, and when they are called, they are naturally not inferior to others.
At this time, Zhou Gong said: "You are our killer weapon, and the people who are screaming at the moment should be sent by them to test it, just kill chickens, let's not use your knife!"
Tiezhu stepped forward and said, "Then I'll come to this battle!"
Zhou Gong glanced at Tiezhu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, then you come, if you are defeated, retreat, let's send someone again!"
Tie Zhu secretly scolded in his heart: "His grandmother, this old boy actually looks down on me, Lao Tzu will let you see my ability today!"
"Obey!" Tie Zhu agreed, then took the Fengming sword in his hand, and came out of the barracks, only to see that the person on the opposite side was a beautiful young man, but it was Yang Shaofeng.
Yang Shaofeng's cultivation is also in the realm of perfection during the foundation building period, and this time it is really comparable. Tie Zhu touched his chin and said in his heart: "It's just a good-looking embroidered pillow, see if Lao Tzu doesn't cut you into eight pieces!"
"That little white face, are you calling for war?" Tie Zhu squinted his eyes, the more he looked at Yang Shaofeng, the more he felt unpleasant, there could be such a good-looking person in this world? The most angry thing is that he looks so rough.
Of course, Qin Ruochan in Tianxin Pavilion is also a first-class handsome boy, and his appearance is not worse than Yang Shaofeng, but his cultivation is high, and Tiezhu does not dare to provoke him, nor can he provoke him.
Yang Shaofeng said coldly: "You are the one who should fight?
"Your grandmother's, Lao Tzu will turn you into a ghost immediately!" Tie Zhu has always been unruly, at this time, his body jumped up, the phoenix sword came out of the sheath, and under the infusion of spiritual energy, a fire phoenix rushed out directly.
Yang Shaofeng's complexion couldn't help but change greatly, and at that moment, the long sword was unsheathed and attacked the iron pillar. A sonorous sound came, and Yang Shaofeng's long sword was cut off by the iron pillar in an instant, and he hurriedly retreated.
The iron pillar shouted, Feng Mingjin waved, and the blazing air swept away, like a raging wave. Yang Shaofeng spread his hands, his aura worked, and a big seal greeted the iron pillar.
There was a sound of bump, and the iron pillar stepped back a few steps, but Yang Shaofeng vomited blood directly, and his body was lifted out at the moment, breaking a big tree directly.
At this time, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty behind shouted loudly: "Mighty, mighty, mighty!" The morale was so strong that it was unparalleled for a while.
Yang Shaofeng's face was very ugly, he didn't expect the same realm, but he was beaten so badly. At this time, although the injuries in the body are not serious, if they continue, they will not be able to take advantage of the slightest benefit, and there is no other way but to retreat.
At this time, many soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty cheered loudly. Tie Zhu's favorite thing is the compliments of others, and the look of enjoyment at the moment looks extremely unbeaten, he returned to the camp tent to report: "It has been solved, this kind of small shrimp, it is indeed not necessary for Senior Brother Qin to make a move!"
Zhou Gong smiled: "Don't dare to do anything, the first battle that came here was won, and it was useful to boost morale, okay, your name is Tiezhu, right, give you a credit!"
The people in the Tianxin Pavilion are divided into the cabinet and the outer cabinet, and the cabinet disciples are mainly cultivators, and they don't look down on these fame at all, but Tie Zhu is an acquaintance, and he just likes the feeling of being praised.
Zhou Gong saw the appearance of Tie Zhu, but he felt a little close, and immediately ordered someone to bring wine and drank a glass with Tie Zhu, this time, Tie Zhu felt that he was about to fly.
As for Xie Yingying, Miaoqing and others, they don't care about this mess at all.
The first battle was successful, and the momentum of the Great Zhou army was unparalleled for a while, in comparison, in Wu Geng's military camp, the morale was not much damaged, after all, they had not been defeated along the way, and today was only the first time.
Ji Yu and Ji Shengxuan set off before the army, and they had already arrived in Ji Xian's tent at this time.
Ji Xian saw that his two sons had returned safely, and the only fear in his heart was gone, and he asked at the moment: "Ji Dan, that old guy, just let you come back?"
Ji Yu preemptively said: "Father, it was the pavilion master who let us come back, Duke Zhou doesn't know!"
Ji Sheng preached: "The pavilion master and Duke Zhou have always been inseparable, let us come back, I'm afraid that's what Duke Zhou meant!"
