Kunlun one millet

Chapter 325

"Report! Lieutenant Lin was ambushed by rebels outside Guangyang County, causing hundreds of casualties!"

"General, the Zhenwu Army sent a message to say that the water in the Yu River has risen sharply and it is temporarily impossible to cross the river. Currently, a pontoon bridge is being built."

"Leijinwu has been reluctant to send troops for a long time. Master Wangwu said that unless the imperial court canonize him as Marquis of Annan and set up another county for the six counties south of Yujiang River, he will govern it."

Hearing each piece of news, Luo Xixian frowned and stared at the map in front of him. Chess pieces representing multiple armies and horses were scattered everywhere, forming a criss-cross battle line, with mountains of military reports on the side.

"What do you mean by Lei Jinwu?" Luo Xixian raised his eyes and looked at the staff who reported the news: "He has been the emperor for more than ten years, and the court has never asked, isn't it enough? Now he is asked to send troops, but the result is so prevarication. , is he really not afraid of the court's liquidation in the future?"

The staffer in charge of the envoy said: "Maybe Lei Jinwu also heard news from the south, thinking that the imperial court will not be able to quell the Chiyun rebellion in a short period of time, so they are holding a wait-and-see attitude. If you don't seal it up as soon as possible, you will go to the rebellious party."

"Looking for death!" Luo Xixian slapped the table with his palm, cracks in the floor tiles below extended, and the whole hall trembled slightly.

All the staff members bowed their heads, Luo Xixian gritted his teeth and said: "Years of appeasement, but in exchange for this result. It seems that this Jinwu can't be kept, mobilize soldiers and horses, and eradicate them together!"

"General!" Immediately, a staff member dissuaded him: "Laijinwu is surrounded by water on three sides, and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we want to take it down as soon as possible, I am afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers will be needed. Right now we really can't find any extra manpower, so why don't we agree temporarily?" They, send a sealed letter."

"Let me ask you, what are you going to do if you give Master Wang Wu an official title, but he still refuses to send troops?" Luo Xixian asked.

The staff had no choice but to answer: "The reason why the Wubao masters in these places are confident is that because the rebellious party is so powerful that the court cannot divide the troops to conquer, they can sit on both sides and take advantage of it. If we can give the rebellious party a head-on blow , these Wubao masters must be afraid, and will take the initiative to submit."

"Nonsense!" Luo Xixian's forehead was twitching with veins, "If I can severely damage the rebellious party, how can I let these idiots be unrestrained?"

All the aides and military officials looked at each other silently, Chi Yun has been in chaos for many years, and has been confronting the imperial court for a long time, so far there has been no turning point.And a few days ago there were more rumors that the Marquis of Zhenming came back from the dead and used his great magic power to pray for rain in Chiyundu.

After the drastic change in Dongshengdu, the people of Huaxu Kingdom were in turmoil. Although Da Sima barely maintained the situation, he couldn't reverse the increasingly decadent situation.

And I don't know when, people in the countryside of Huaxu country have been singing about the past achievements of Zhenming Hou Zhao Mi.At first, the imperial court thought it was a false rumor spread by people sent by the rebel party, but after inquiring, they found out that when the Marquis of Zhenming opened the altar to patrol the territory, many people had benefited from him. Seeing that the Huaxu country is now in a state of confusion, it is inevitable that they will feel nostalgic.

When Da Sima heard this, he was very displeased, and immediately sent people to vigorously publicize that Zhao Mi was the culprit of the upheaval in Dongshengdu, and in the name of arresting the rebellious party and thieves, he counted all the people who praised Zhenming Hou Zhao Mi owl head.

It was hard to suppress those rumors, but once the news of Zhao Mi's death and resurrection spread, the government and the public were shocked.

At first everyone was dubious, but when Shi Huoguang, the head of the Huaiying Pavilion, suddenly "disappeared", all parties in the court immediately understood that Zhao Mi did not die in Difei Mountain.

However, it has been more than ten years since the drastic changes in Dongsheng Capital. The people who witnessed it at the time may die or disappear. It is said that there is nothing to be afraid of. However, there is a variable that everyone has to pay attention to.

The Wukui army, which was in the limelight at that time, was preserved intact because it did not participate in the battle of Difei Mountain.Moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Liang family who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Juhong Pass were regarded as commendable by the court for their loyalty.General Wei Xiuwen was a subordinate of Da Sima Luoyi in the early years, so he is naturally reused now.

However, a large number of school lieutenants and officials in the Wukui army have worked with Zhao Shu, and many hundred chiefs have been trained and taught by Zhao Shu himself, which can be said to be a half-teacher friendship.Now many people have been promoted and spread all over the army. They also heard the news of Zhao Mi's death and resurrection, which made the army's hearts fluctuate.

"General." Chang Shi came forward to hand over a roster: "The humble officer has been in the army for many days, and all of them are people who are loyal to Zhao thief."

Luo Xixian waved his hand to make the others retreat, he quickly opened the roster, glanced at it, his face was ugly: "Why are there so many?"

Chang Shi said: "Zhao thief is good at winning people's hearts. When he was in Jiaguan, he often rewarded money and silk. I have heard of this for a long time."

"Reward money? How can we do less?" Luo Xixian's heart was mixed with resentment and jealousy.

Chang Shi explained: "Perhaps it is also related to Zhao Mi's teaching of spells."

"What kind of spells do these mud legs know? They are also worthy?" Luo Xixian gritted his teeth.

"Is the general planning to take them down?" Chang Shi reminded: "Now is the time to use troops, and many of them are still on the battlefield ahead. If they change generals rashly, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to the battle."

"What if they deliberately delayed the war?" Luo Xixian asked back.

Chang Shi didn't refute anymore, Luo Xixian knocked on the table and said: "Okay, you go down first, I have my own plan for this matter."

Xin Shunying walked out of the back hall after all the staff and officials had left. Seeing Luo Xixian like this, she couldn't help showing worry: "Are you worried that those soldiers will defect to the rebel party because of Zhao Mi?"

Luo Xixian pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be so. Their family members are all in the rear. Even if they have some kindness in the past, it is far from enough to turn to the rebellious party. I am just worried that they will not give up on the battlefield and take the opportunity to loosen up." Slacking off will spoil the overall situation."

Xin Shunying didn't say anything unnecessary, but said: "Taoist Taixia is back, do you want to see him?"

"Let's go now." Luo Xixian restrained his temperament. Although he was very reluctant, most of the monks and masters that the court could rely on now came from the East China Sea. Even if it was him, he had to give them a good face.

"Taixia Daoist, you are finally back! Is it safe on the way?" Luo Xixian came to the other courtyard where the monks were housed, and when he came up, he cupped his hands and said hello.

Taoist Taixia, who was dressed in a dark green silk robe, pulled his back and smiled: "I'm worried about the Hussar General. The poor Taoist has been hiding his tracks this time, and the leader of the rebellious party and bandits has not noticed."

If you want to go deep into the enemy's territory and spy on the military situation, apart from ordinary scouts, it is best to ask monks to take action.People with advanced cultivation bases come and go freely, are not hindered by mountains and rivers, and can spy on more enemy situations than ordinary scouts.

However, if the enemy also has experts in cultivation, this kind of spying behavior is also dangerous. If the restriction is accidentally touched and the experts in the enemy are noticed, then they will face multiple siege, and even ordinary monks do not want to take risks.

"This is an important place for the rebellious party to deploy defenses that Pindao investigated." Taoist Taixia took out a map, which was dotted with small characters.

Luo Xixian took it and looked at it carefully, pointing to one of them and asked: "Why are there so many soldiers and horses in the Xiuningchuan area? Isn't it because of the ground crack that there is no one in the area for dozens of miles?"

"General Hussars doesn't know something. Since that Zhao Mi took refuge in Chiyundu, he has opened altars to practice dharma in various places to heal the cracks in the ground and eliminate the turbidity." Taoist Taixia said: "The poor Taoist took advantage of it. After he practiced the Dharma, he went to one of them to investigate and found that the land not only returned to normal, but also returned to life, with hundreds of grasses growing, and with a little reclamation, there may be tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land again."

Hearing this, Luo Xixian and his wife, Xin Shunying, looked at each other with serious expressions, and asked, "Then Zhao Mi...can really do such a thing?"

"There will be no fakes." Taoist Taixia thought for a moment and then said: "The ritual ritual performed by Zhao Shu is extremely unusual. As far as the poor Taoist knows, the ritual ritual is nothing more than adjusting the weather for a while, praying for rain after a long drought, Pray for sunshine after a long rain.

Even the ceremonial officer of the Tianxia Dynasty, who assists the emperor in the suburban sacrifices every year, welcomes the five directions and five qi, in order to seek stability and peace.But Zhao Mi's practice now is to directly change the order of heaven and earth, which is far beyond Pindao's expectations. "

"Change the order of heaven and earth's qi and numbers?" Luo Xixian suspected that he heard it wrong: "Is this kind of thing really possible?"

Taoist Taixia explained: "Since the drastic change of Dongsheng Capital, the mountains have collapsed and the ground has been cracked, and the turbid air has risen to the sky. The order of the heaven and the earth has changed greatly. This is not a sudden change of wind and rain. No matter how high the mana is, it is impossible to completely reverse it. Everywhere in the country is cracked, we can only set up restrictions to block it, and we can't eliminate the turbidity that has spread and spread."

"But Zhao Mi did it." Xin Shunying looked solemn.

"Yes." Taoist Taixia nodded and said, "Poverty guesses, maybe Zhao Shu has surpassed the predecessors of the ceremonial officials in terms of rituals and rituals, and it is no longer possible to use common sense to speculate."

Luo Xixian asked: "The Taoist leader thinks, how should we deal with Zhao Mi?"

Taoist Taixia was slightly taken aback, showing a bit of embarrassment: "This... General Hussar really thinks highly of the poor."

"There are so many talented people in the Eastern Sea, why should the Daoist be humble?" Luo Xixian's tone was somewhat urging.

"Poverty Daoist can try to invite a few fellows who are in seclusion to come." Taoist Taixia said: "But today's Zhao Mi cannot be dealt with by ordinary means, and I am afraid that he will pay a heavy price for fighting head-on."

Luo Xixian said: "The general will make arrangements, so I will trouble Master Taixia to run around first."

After bidding farewell to Taoist Taixia, Luo Xixian remained silent for a long time with his face ashen.

"What are you going to do?" Xin Shunying sat aside and asked.

Luo Xixian rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It can't be done. I look at Taixia's appearance, as if it was not Zhao Mi who came back from the dead, but Liang Tao. He didn't dare to say a single harsh word just now, and he was almost flattering Zhao Mi. Not yet The morale will be lost in a real confrontation, how can I expect these monks from the East China Sea?"

"After all, Liang Tao once conquered the East China Sea back then, and the sects of the water mansions dared not make a mistake." Xin Shunying sighed softly: "I just didn't expect that Zhao Shu would have such an achievement in just over ten years... I'm afraid he is not He came back from the dead, he should be hiding somewhere in closed-door cultivation.”

"Resurrection from the dead is just spreading rumors, who will take it seriously?" Luo Xixian tapped his forehead and said, "What I am worried about now is that Zhao Shuji may have close contacts with Xiongguo, if there is Xiongguo, he will also intervene..."

Xin Shunying knew very well that even more than ten years ago, the Huaxu Kingdom with the Chongxuan Hall was not as powerful as the Xiong Kingdom.After more than ten years of wear and tear, the decline of the Huaxu Kingdom has become more apparent. If the Xiong Kingdom attacks on a large scale, the Huaxu Kingdom may lose its city and land, and it will not be able to defend it at all.

"Otherwise, let's talk to Zhao Mi alone?" Xin Shunying asked, "If possible, wouldn't it be a blessing to bring him over?"

Luo Xixian turned to look at his wife, and smiled wryly: "Why are you still thinking about playing such a petty trick like you did back then?"

Xin Shunying's face froze, and Luo Xixian shook his head again and again: "We can't stop now. Back then, we thought that Zhao Mi was dead, so we simply threw all the blame on him and Liang Tao, thinking that we could sit back and relax. It turned out that he didn't die at all. , this kind of enmity can't be resolved long ago, do you think you can persuade him with just a few words? Shi Huoguang was rescued, which shows that Zhao Mi has regarded us as the enemy!"

Xin Shunying sighed speechlessly, thinking of all the past, she always made mistakes when facing Zhao Mi, and Zhan Hou's master's ability to know people, why can't he predict the current situation?
……

"My predictions about you always seem to be wrong."

He Qingchen looked at the carriages full of soldiers being transported to Guancheng ahead, and absently said to Zhao Mi next to him: "It's not enough to dispel the disaster, and we have to repair the cracks in the ground. What should we do next? Re-establish the Mude University Is it the Temple of the King?"

"If you think it's necessary, I don't mind doing it." Zhao Mi replied.

"You sincerely don't want me to have a better life." He Qingchen sneered, "You have resolved many difficulties for Chi Yun, and with this group of soldiers, Huaxu Kingdom will suffer this time. If I were that big Sima Luoyi, I'm probably so angry that I can't even eat well. Oh, and your fellow disciple Luo Xixian, who is now a Hussar general and presides over the suppression of Chiyundu, is he dizzy with worry right now?"

Zhao Mi couldn't laugh, and asked, "Have you settled with Chi Yun?"

He Qingchen nodded and said: "Mr. Jingming is reasonable, and he talked a lot, as if handing over a large number of soldiers to him, I earned it myself."

A few days ago, Zhao Mi escorted Mr. Jing Ming to Huyin County in the southeast of Youxiong Country to discuss matters with He Qingchen. The two sides quickly reached a cooperation.

"With Chi Yun keeping Hua Xu country in check, of course you have benefited." Zhao Mi had seen Mr. Jing Ming's eloquence, and even the Xian family was almost speechless.

"However, with your actions, Chiyundu's attachment has become far away." He Qingchen looked at Zhao Mi: "And I heard from Mr. Jing Ming that you have to stay in Chiyundu for a while to help them deal with Donghai Monk?"

"At present, Huaxu Kingdom is mobilizing a group of masters from the East China Sea, and they are here to deal with me." Zhao Mi said, "I plan to get rid of them."

He Qingchen seemed to see something, and asked: "You help Chi Yundu, it's not all because of past kindness, right? Did someone ask you to do this?"

Zhao Mi looked back at He Qingchen, who quickly said, "Don't say it if it's inconvenient for you, but I advise you to act quickly, Jiuli Kingdom has already begun to take action."
