More than ten days later, the Asura King Bo Xun united a group of Asura generals under his command, relying on the abundant blood and energy on the battlefield, to lay down a large array of blood rivers, attracting the power of the sea of blood, and finally breaking the balance between the two sides. Half of the Western disciples stationed in Caozhou fell, and the rest had to evacuate Caozhou under the leadership of Du'e, Yaoshi, and Maitreya.

Chonghou Hu took advantage of the situation to occupy Caozhou.

At the same time, under Jiameng, although Gao Ming and Gao Jue caused a lot of trouble to Jiang Ziya with his natural powers, it didn't take long for Jiang Ziya to see through the methods of the two of them, and everyone in Taoshan was also on the list one after another.

After Jiang Ziya's troops were in Jiamengguan, after several temptations, the generals Xu Kun and Hu Yunpeng of Jiamengguan were all killed. Faced with this form, Hu Sheng couldn't help but retreat.

However, although he was reluctant to retreat, Hu Sheng was an indecisive person, and although he wanted to withdraw from the army, he still had to discuss with his younger brother Hu Lei. Therefore, after repelling the attack of the Zhou soldiers that day, Hu Sheng found his younger brother Hu Lei to discuss the withdrawal of the army.

However, although Hu Sheng and Hu Lei are brothers, their personalities are completely different. After suffering two defeats, Hu Sheng thought about retiring his troops according to the plan to preserve his strength, but after Hu Lei heard that Hu Sheng was preparing to withdraw his troops, he was furious: "Brother, as the so-called matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, our two brothers have received the grace of the country for generations and enjoyed the wealth of high-ranking officials, and now the country is in the autumn of crisis, and we, as courtiers, should naturally share the worries for the country." Although it is said that retreating at this time can preserve strength, if we just give up Jiameng Pass, then if there is another mistake in Qinglong Pass, then Bishui Pass will probably be alone, and sooner or later it will be broken by Zhou soldiers. And once the three passes are broken, then the Zhou army can drive in, and then the situation is critical. Therefore, according to my opinion, although the king has ordered us and other brothers to lead the troops to retreat first to preserve their strength if they see that the battle situation is not good, we still have to fight to stop the Zhou soldiers outside the pass and share the worries of the king!"

Hearing Hu Lei say this, Hu Sheng knew that his younger brother had always been stubborn, and once he made up his mind, even he couldn't convince him, so he could only agree.

On the second day, in order to strengthen Hu Sheng's idea of defending, Hu Lei did not stay at the pass and wait for the Zhou soldiers to attack the city, but ordered a group of soldiers and horses early in the morning and came directly to the outside of the Zhou army camp to fight.

Since Jiang Ziya led the troops to Bishui Pass, he not only defeated the people of Momoyama, but also beheaded the two generals of Jiameng Pass. Glancing around at the generals in the camp, Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "This good dream guard is not honestly guarding the pass, but he still takes the initiative to come out to die, I don't know which of the generals is willing to take this credit?"

Hearing Jiang Ziya say this, Wu Ji took the lead and said: "The last general is willing to capture this thief for the prime minister." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this battle will be handed over to General Bukit." ”

After getting the general's order, Bukit immediately led the troops out of the camp, and when he saw Hu Lei, the two did not answer, but they fought directly.

To say that although Wu Ji was originally just a woodcutter in Xiqi City, he himself was born with divine power and extraordinary talent, and he was later instructed by Jiang Ziya, so his martial arts are quite weak. Although Hu Lei learned some Taoist skills with his master when he was young, he also abandoned his martial arts, so the two sides did not fight for a few rounds, Hu Lei gradually became a little overwhelmed, and in the end, the two fought for less than 30 rounds.

Bukit captured Hu Lei, immediately tied up the left and right, and brought him back to the camp to resume his life.

Jiang Ziya heard that Wu Jisheng had captured Hu Lei, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly asked people to bring Hu Lei. And although Hu Lei was captured and roped, he was arrogant and stood without kneeling. Seeing this, Jiang Ziya said angrily: "Since you are not as skilled as others and were captured by Wu Jisheng, now that you are a prisoner of the ranks, why don't you kneel?"

Hearing this, Hu Lei smiled disdainfully: "Joke, I, Hu Lei, kneel to the sky and the ground, kneel to my parents and kneel to the king, but how can I kneel against the thief? You traitor, I can't wait to eat your meat raw, and you still want me to kneel? It's really wishful thinking!"

was scolded by Hu Lei so much, Jiang Ziya's good mood because of the capture of an enemy general suddenly disappeared, and he said angrily: "Come on, drag it out and cut the sacrificial flag!"

However, even if he was dragged down by the sergeant, Hu Lei still scolded non-stop, and Jiang Ziya, who was scolding directly, turned blue.

It didn't take long for the soldier to report that he had beheaded Hu Lei, and Jiang Ziya's face looked better.

After beheading Hu Lei, Jiang Ziya ordered to go down and celebrate Wuji's achievements. However, as soon as the banquet was ready, and before everyone had time to celebrate, they heard another soldier report that Hu Lei was fighting outside the camp again.

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya was stunned for a while, then pondered for a moment, and said to Wu Ji: "Wu Ji, for some reason, Hu Lei, who was supposed to be beheaded, said that Hu Lei, who should have been beheaded, came to fight again, you go out and have a look." ”

Bukit went out in response.

Not long after, Hu Lei was captured by Wu Jisheng and put into the camp in the same way.

Seeing Wu Ji again, Jiang Ziya stared at Wu Ji for a while, and then snorted coldly: "Hu Lei, it's just a small stand-in technique, you can just escape with your life once, but you are trying to use this technique to trick me again, don't you think that no one cares about me in the camp?"

After speaking, Jiang Ziya took out a talisman and hit Hu Lei on the top of his head, so that Hu Lei was taken down and beheaded, and his head was hung on the sacrificial flag outside the gate.

The news of Hu Lei's defeat and beheading soon spread back to Jiamengguan, and when Hu Sheng got the news, he couldn't help but sigh: "My brother doesn't listen to me, otherwise why would he be killed?"

However, sadness is sadness, Hu Sheng quickly adjusted, ordered to go down to rectify the soldiers and horses, pack up the supplies, and prepare to abandon Jiamengguan.

A few days later, just when Hu Sheng was ready to lead the army to abandon Jiameng Pass, he suddenly heard a soldier report that there was a red-robed Taoist girl outside asking to see him.

Hearing this, although Hu Sheng was suspicious, he still asked the soldiers to bring the Taoist aunt over.

It didn't take long for a young Dao aunt wearing a red robe and a crown of xia on her head to appear in front of Hu Sheng.

Although Hu Sheng was curious about the origin of this Dao Gu, he did not break the etiquette, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Dare to ask where the Dao chief came from and why did he come here?"

The red-robed Dao Gu snorted coldly, and said directly: "I am the Holy Mother of the Fire Spirit of Qiu Mingshan Sanren." Your brother Hu Lei is my disciple, and now he has died at the hands of Jiang Ziya, so I went down the mountain to avenge him. It's just that you are Hu Lei's brother, and now that Hu Lei is dead, you don't want to avenge him, but you want to withdraw from the army, but why?"
