Chapter 219: Rising to the Clouds Again

When Li Jing took out the straw man with the words "Zhao Gongming" in the book, Yunxiao couldn't pull his face down and ask him for Dinghaizhu again, not to mention that this life-saving grace was enough to offset the hatred of grabbing the treasure, just because this straw man was an important medium to help Zhao Gongming restore the original god, so she couldn't help but choose the straw man without giving up Dinghaizhu.

After taking the straw man from Li Jing's hand, Yunxiao said goodbye to him with a complicated expression, stepped on Qingluan and floated away.

Although Li Jing had left Xiqi and had already known the outcome of the war, he still made people pay attention to the news over there. In the face of the only remaining "Red Sand Array" in the Ten Absolute Formations, none of the twelve sects of Yuxu had the confidence to retreat in this dangerous formation of the Ten Formations, and Wen Zhong, who regarded this formation as the last straw, strictly guarded against it, and never gave the enemy the opportunity to use human sacrifice formations to kill the murderous spirit of the large array. In the end, the Burning Lamp Dao Man, who had been hidden deeply, finally took action in person, showing a terrifying strength that was superior to that of the Yuan Shen Cultivator, breaking the red sand formation at the cost of minor injuries, and killing the Formation Leader Shao.

After the ten formations were broken, Wen Zhong was defeated, although there were two Taoist friends of Hanzhi Immortal and Caiyun Fairy to help, but it only slightly delayed the fate of defeat, after all, he was defeated by Jiang Ziya's night robbery joint venture, and finally was forced to Juelongling by the Yuxu people, and died under the "Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar" jointly laid by Yunzhongzi and the Burning Lamp Daoist.

Hearing the news of Zhongbing's defeat and death was reported by Han Rong, the chief soldier of Bishui Pass, to the court song, the king of Xuan was shocked, and finally took a break from lewd pleasure and summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures in the palace.

The ministers cited two people who could succeed Wen Zhong to crusade against Xiqi, one was Zhang Kui, the chief soldier of Michi, and the other was Deng Jiugong, the chief soldier of Sanshanguan. I respectfully ask the king to make a judgment.

The king of Xuan pondered for a long time: he and Zhang Kui met in the early years, and knew that he was not only excellent in martial arts. He also has to intercept the secret legend of the sect, and there is thaumaturgy. What is even more rare is to be loyal to himself, and since Deng Jiugong guarded the Sanshan Pass, he has killed the traitor Eshun in the south and retreated one after another, and he has not dared to look at the Sanshan Pass for several years. Both of these men were suitable candidates for the helm, and he had a hard time deciding.

When he was hesitating, he unconsciously looked at the piece sent by Han Rong again, and his eyes touched the word "Li Jing" written inside, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of nameless anger in his heart, and at the same time he had an idea.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the king said to his ministers. "Since Zhang Kui and Deng Jiugong are both handsome talents, why don't they both be in command at the same time? Why don't you order Zhang Kui to be the generalissimo of the expedition to the west and lead the army to attack Ji Chang, and then order Deng Jiugong to be the generalissimo of the sweep of the north and lead the army to defeat Li Jing!"

Lu Renjie, the general of Shenwu, walked out of the martial arts class and said: "Your Majesty, Xiqi Jichang openly took in the rebellious Huang Feihu, and fought with Wang Shi several times, and the objection has been revealed, and it is urgent to recruit him. And although Li Jing seized the north. If he is not dispatched, but still thinks that he is a minister of Chengtang, if he sends troops to attack, will it not force him to immediately raise troops and rebel. Besides, since the attack on Xiqi has failed several times. Our military strength has been greatly damaged, and if we fight with the west and north at the same time, it will only be difficult to support. In the opinion of the minister. When the concentrated forces broke through Xiqi first, the remaining Li Jing either deterred or appeased. It's going to be a lot easier to clean up. ”

The king himself is also a person who is sensitive and eloquent, and he has a few thoughts in his heart. He had already found a sufficient basis for his decision: "Lu Qing doesn't know, so how treacherous is Li Jing, how can he honestly trap one side of the land?" According to the Song sent by Han Rong, he once went to Xiqi in person, not only saving Jiang Ziya's life, but also breaking three of the ten unique formations that Master Wen had asked someone to set up. From this point of view, Li Jing is clearly harboring evil intentions, and his harm may not be much less than Ji Chang's, if he is not dealt with as soon as possible and allowed to accumulate strength in the north, he will become a big trouble in the long run!"

This invigorating truth has been recognized by many courtiers, and after the absence of Wen Zhong, the king has truly achieved the dictatorship of the Qiangang, and finally his decision to divide the troops to attack the two places was implemented, and the court sent two envoys to Mianchi County and Sanshan Pass respectively to pass the decree.

Shan said that the messenger who went to Sanshan Pass, hungry and thirsty all the way, lived at night, not only came to Sanshan Pass one day, and handed down the will of Deng Jiugong in front of him.

After Deng Jiugong received the order, he did not dare to slack off, and after handing over the defense of Sanshan Pass, he ordered the three armies to go north, and went straight to Li Jing's Biancheng.

Because of the ambush of Lei Kai in Chaoge, Li Jing had already learned the news of the rebellion of the King of Zhou, and he had made preparations in advance. Deng Jiugong's army left, and Ding Ce, the generalissimo under Li Jing, also ordered a group of men and horses, left Biancheng and went south, and came to the gateway town "Hongyun Pass" to enter the north.

On the fifth day after Li Jing's army entered Hongyun Pass, Deng Jiugong led his troops to the front of the pass and set up camp thirty miles outside the south gate of Hongyun Pass.

The next day, the two sides fought almost at the same time, Deng Jiugong and Ding Ce were both veterans of using soldiers, and they both knew that this battle was just a test of the opponent's reality and reality, and it was far from the time to go all out, so they only had to bring 3,000 soldiers.

The two armies opened their positions below the pass, and Deng Jiugong saw that Li Jing's army and horses were in a neat formation, and the soldiers had high fighting spirits, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the other party's commander for managing the army in a good way and being a strong enemy. He urged the war horse to come to the front of the battle, and shouted from afar: "Generalissimo Deng Jiugong is here, Li Jing came out to see me!"

"Sweeping the Generalissimo, Ben Jue also did it at the beginning!" Li Jing made a joke to the people around him, and urged the Black Flame Horse to go out and fight against Deng Jiu's horse.

"Marshal Deng is invited. Li Jing bowed his hand on horseback.

Deng Jiugong's face sank like water, and he reluctantly returned the salute and asked: "Li Jing, you are deeply favored by the country, from a general to a handsome, and then to a marquis who has torn the soil, why don't you think about reporting the favor of the country, but instead harbor the ambition of rebellion, invade and occupy the northern land, and stand on your own? This marshal advises you to immediately dismount and be bound, so as to avoid the misery of the northern land." If you are stubborn, when the heavenly soldiers break through the city and the jade is burned, it will be too late to regret it!"

Li Jing said with a smile: "Marshal Deng, the grievances between me and the king are obvious to everyone in the world, and who is who is not has already been judged. If you want to conquer my northland, let your horses come. Taking out these unreasonable excuses to prop up the façade will make people laugh, and you won't have to compromise the name of your Marshal Deng's uprightness!"

Deng Jiugong's face was slightly red, he had also heard about the suppression, exclusion and even later framing of Li Jing by the King of Zhou, and even felt quite unfair to Li Jing in his heart. Fang just reversed black and white to accuse Li Jing in order to boost the morale of the army, and he was already a little empty in his heart, but at this moment, he was exposed by Li Jing's words, and naturally became more and more ashamed and speechless.

Behind him, Deng Xiu, the son of Deng Jiugong, saw that his father was stammered by Li Jing's question, and hurriedly urged the war horse to come to the front of the battle, and shouted: "Father, what do you have to say to such a chaotic minister and thief? When the child captures him, he will naturally be respectful!" (To be continued......)
