Obtain the divine power at the beginning

The morning breeze brings a cool breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

"Hahahaha!" In Ankang City, Yin Youzhao, Feng Wu, Shi Tianyu, Wei Xueyan, He Xiangu and others gathered together. They were all extremely excited and laughed out loud towards the sky.

"Finally I have something to eat! Thank you so much, Lord Shi!"

When the grain and silver arrived, all the soldiers cheered and jumped for joy. Then, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "The yellow sand has worn away the golden armor after a hundred battles, and Shi Lang's clever plan has brought peace to the world." The voice shook the sky and echoed in the world.

Feng Wu was delighted and praised Shi Tianyu repeatedly: "My dear nephew, when we suppressed the rebellion in Sichuan back then, you also constantly sent out surprise attacks. This time, you are a prince, but not only did you come here in person to escort silver and grain, but as soon as you arrived at the front line, you led your troops to recapture a city and a fort. Thank you on behalf of the court!" He was used to calling Shi Tianyu "my dear nephew" and forgot that he should call him "Prince Shi".

~

Shi Tianyu quickly said modestly: "I don't dare to take credit for it. It's all the soldiers who fought bravely. It's all because of the arrival of Princess Wei Xueyan that the morale was boosted." He was very broad-minded and generous. He didn't care what Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao called him.

However, in his words, he also reminded Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao not to forget Wei Xueyan's existence and not to forget Wei Xueyan's contributions.

Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao could of course hear the hidden meaning in Shi Tianyu's words, and they quickly bowed to thank Wei Xueyan.

However, the thanks these two upright officials of the court expressed to Wei Xueyan were somewhat reluctant and stiff.

~

Wei Xueyan immediately smiled like a flower, with bright red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and a gorgeous and graceful figure. She said tenderly and affectionately, "You're welcome. We are all here to protect the Ming Dynasty and to ensure the stability of the people and the country. This is what we should do."

She could tell from Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao's tone that they were reluctant to thank her, but she didn't blame them.

After all, in order to seize power, Wei Zhongxian did kill many upright officials in the court.

So, in the face of Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao's reluctant thanks, Wei Xueyan was still very happy and excited.

~

However, Murong Sheng, Yu Li, Cen Zhan and others were very embarrassed.

They were once officials under Wei Xueyan, and they also pursued Wei Xueyan after Wei Zhongxian's downfall.

Now, they had to greet Wei Xueyan again.

They all secretly felt that Wei Xueyan was so lucky.

I feel sad that Wei Xueyan, who lived on the streets as a child, was able to meet the noble Princess Zhu Yingya.

After Princess Zhu Yingya fell into trouble, Wei Xueyan's father Wei Zhongxian came to power again.

After Wei Zhongxian's downfall, Wei Xueyan married the prince Shi Tianyu.

Hey! I am so lucky! I always have endless wealth and splendor.

At this time, the imperial court still had to rely on Shi Tianyu to quell the rebellion.

Therefore, Murong Sheng, Yu Li, Cen Zhan and other court officials in charge of supervising the army had to bow and greet Wei Xueyan.

Wei Xueyan also forced a smile at them and waved her hand. She understood the difficulties of Murong Sheng and others in her heart.

~

Yin Youzhao turned to Shi Tianyu and said, "Nephew, let's go, let's have dinner together and discuss how to quell the rebellion."

After saying that, he took Shi Tianyu to the backyard room of Zhongjun Hall and sat down.

Feng Wu also bowed and invited Wei Xueyan, saying, "Princess, please!"

Wei Xueyan nodded, and followed Feng Wu to the backyard room and sat next to Shi Tianyu.

~

Women need to be praised.

When Shi Tianyu saw Wei Xueyan coming, he immediately praised Wei Xueyan and said to Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao: "My two mentors, my nephew participated in the suppression of the rebellion this time and was able to quickly recapture a city and a fort because the princess led the charge. In this ambush, the princess beheaded two enemy generals.

Shi Tianlin, Luo Baozhong, Tian Lufeng and other generals also won numerous victories. "Master, shall we get some wine to celebrate?"

In this way, Wei Xueyan was praised, and the contributions of Dudu, Luo Baozhong, Tian Lufeng and others were also mentioned.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao nodded repeatedly, then ordered their personal soldiers to go out and invite in Luo Baozhong, Tian Lufeng and other generals.

~

Just because Shi Tianyu didn't put on airs in front of his two mentors Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao didn't mean he didn't have airs, so he ordered his personal soldiers to invite Dudu and his seven concubines to come in and have dinner together.

Thanks to Shi Tianyu, Dudu was transformed from a dog into a human.

Shi Tianyu is still alive thanks to Dudu's protection.

Therefore, regardless of honor or disgrace, wealth or poverty, Shi Tianyu would pull Dudu together and sit with him.

~

Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao originally didn't want to have dinner with so many people, but at this moment, they felt helpless.

After all, Shi Tianyu is a prince and his status is far above theirs.

Shi Tianyu then pulled out a box of Feitian fine wine from the system space, which was not only a reward for Wei Xueyan and the generals, but also to make Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao happy. Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao, who rarely drank, were very excited to taste such fine wine.

In this way, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became lively.

Wei Xueyan then drank with the generals to make the atmosphere more lively.

Shi Tianyu was eating and chatting with Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao, discussing the rebellion and proposing strategies, saying: "The thirteen rebel armies have declared themselves kings or established dynasties in Luochuan, Yanchuan, Xi'an, Xianyang, Hanzhong and other places.

Although they have some small alliances, they are actually still fighting on their own. We should defeat them one by one."

As Shi Tianyu predicted before he came to Shaanxi, Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao did not understand military affairs, and Shi Tianyu was the actual commander in charge of suppressing the rebellion. Zhu Youjian may have predicted this, so he gave Yin Youzhao the imperial sword and the title of military supervisor. Zhu Youjian was afraid that after suppressing the rebellion, Shi Tianyu would take away Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao's troops.

~

"Good! Huangsha wears golden armor after a hundred battles, and Shi Lang's clever plan brings peace to the world."

"Lord Shi's plan is brilliant!"

"Lord Shi is truly far-sighted!"

"Lord Shi is indeed a famous general against the Jin army!"

Feng Wu, Yin Youzhao and the other generals applauded when they heard this.

Amidst the praise, Shi Tianyu proposed a specific tactic and said, "According to conventional tactics, we must first attack the weak enemy and then annihilate the strong enemy. However, we have this idea, and the enemy also has this idea. As the art of war says, to capture the thief, you must first capture the leader. Therefore, I think we must first pacify the Gao Chuang bandit group and occupy Hanzhong, so that we can pose a stronger threat to other rebels."

Feng Wu didn't understand military affairs, so he shook his head and said, "If we attack Hanzhong first, Gao Chuang will definitely flee south, and the current generals at Jiange Pass are not strong enough to withstand a single blow. By then, the entire Sichuan region will be in danger."

~

Yin Youzhao said in a mature and steady manner: "Let's first listen to Lord Shi's more specific tactics, and then we can finally decide how to fight the next battle."

Feng Wu nodded and looked at Shi Tianyu again.

Shi Tianyu said: "We can send Murong Sheng and Yin Kai to lead 50,000 troops to the north, holding high the banners of 'Feng', 'Murong' and 'Yin' respectively, and announce that the court has an army of 100,000 and is attacking Zhashui in the north and heading towards Xi'an.

When they reached Xunyang, Yin Kai led 20,000 elite cavalry and suddenly turned west to attack Hanyin.

Murong Sheng led his troops to turn west and captured the important fortress of Ningshan.

Our troops will attack the castles in the Xizi area, and then the rebels in Hanzhong will definitely send troops to support us.

The troops of Wu Xiang and Yuan He galloped along the dense forests of Sichuan and Shaanxi, taking the opportunity to occupy Hanzhong.

In this way, the territory occupied by the rebels in southern Shaanxi will be recovered by us and will be connected into a line.

In northern Shaanxi, the imperial court's existing garrison can march south to form a pincer attack on the rebels in central Shaanxi with Lord Feng's troops."

~

Feng Wu stroked his beard and smiled, then raised his finger and praised: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!"

Wu Xiang also said excitedly: "I agree with Lord Shi's strategy."

Seeing that Shi Tianyu was willing to give him the first credit for conquering Hanzhong, he was very moved and thought to himself: Shi Tianyu is worthy of being Wu's sworn brother. At the critical moment, he actually gave the first credit to Wu. Although he has many famous generals under his command, he did not take advantage of this for personal gain.

Yin Youzhao had no objection and immediately ordered his generals to act according to the plan.

~

Shi Tianyu, together with Wei Xueyan, Dudu, his seven concubines, Luo Baozhong and others, led their troops to attack Hanzhong.

But on this day, the world was looking forward to a long-awaited heavy rain.

On that day, dark clouds covered the sky and it was gloomy and dark.

The wind howled and thunder and lightning flashed.

Xu Liang, Xu Zeng, Han Liu, the leader of "Wanfamen" Liao Xiugui and others led 20,000 troops to the south. As soon as they left Nanzheng, a strong wind blew and it was about to rain. They were overjoyed and cheered: "Wow, it's going to rain heavily, that's great! That's great! It's really great!" Han Liu hadn't even drunk much water during this period, let alone taking a shower.

He excitedly looked up to the sky and shouted, "Great! Great! It's raining after a long drought. Great! Great!"

His whole body had already become smelly.

Suddenly seeing raindrops falling, Han Liu closed his eyes and looked up at the sky, letting the rain fall.

~

Xu Zengsui shouted loudly: "Come here, pass the order, set up camp, and take a good bath tonight. Damn, it stinks." "Yes!" The soldiers received the order and did as they were told.

~

There was a strong wind and heavy rain, as if water was being poured down from heaven.

Shi Tianyu and his troops were all soaked in their clothes and their eyes were covered with sweat.

Liu Sen rode his horse to catch up with Shi Tianyu and said, "Brother, it's raining so hard. Let alone attacking Hengzi City, we will have trouble even marching!" Tian Lufeng also felt that such a heavy rain had washed away the spirit of the soldiers, so he persuaded Shi Tianyu and said, "Your Highness, originally, we had a chance of winning when we attacked Hengzi City, but with such a heavy rain, the moat of Hengzi City will be filled with water. By then, the water in the moat will be several feet deep. How can our soldiers cross the moat?"

~

Wei Xueyan's reverse thinking immediately dissipated, so she rode forward and said, "Don't worry, generals. The rebel troops in Hengzi City are also experiencing a rare rain after a long drought, and it is time for them to take a good rest.

They also saw Prince Shi coming with grain but had not yet gone into battle. They suspected that his injuries had not healed and he would be complacent and careless.

Therefore, we must inform all the soldiers to speed up the march.

When they arrived near Hengzi City, they each carried a stone on their way. Tens of thousands of soldiers brought tens of thousands of stones!

By the time they arrived at the city, it was the early morning hour of the morning, the best time to sleep.

At that time, all the soldiers will throw all the stones into the moat, and everyone will step over the stones, swing the hook ropes, climb up the wall, and Hengzi City will be broken. "

In this way, he also proposed a strategy, and it was a very strange strategy, and analyzed the psychology of the rebels.

"What a plan!"

"The princess is so resourceful and decisive!"

"Talented woman! Talented woman! Really talented woman!"

When the generals who had surrounded them on horseback heard this, they all praised Wei Xueyan.

Some generals who originally still believed that Wei Xueyan was the daughter of Wei Yan suddenly changed their minds and admired her. Shi Tianyu laughed proudly and said loudly: "Since the generals have no objection, let's execute it!"

"Yes!" The generals immediately responded to the order and left.

~

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time.

The long-awaited heavy rain continued to fall, washing away the foul smell, clearing the dust, and cleansing the world.

However, this also caused mountain torrents and river flooding.

Some narrow paths are muddy and difficult to walk on.

~

Shi Tianyu led his troops to march in the rain for a while, and then "sent a message from the sky" to call Liu Sen, and said to Liu Sen: "Brother Liu, gather 3,000 archers, and when the rebel guards on the top of the city show up, shoot them immediately.

Order Luo Baozhong to gather a hundred people, prepare grappling hooks and ropes, and climb up the wall.

Send the order to Tian Lufeng, who is responsible for leading the soldiers to throw stones.

Order the Lu brothers, Cheng Zhengfu, and Ma Lingtao to lead their elite cavalry across the moat first, and use heavy shields and hammers to knock down the city gates to open them. "

~

"Yes!" Liu Sen obeyed the order.

"Haha!" After receiving the order, the soldiers burst into laughter. They felt that fighting in this way was very interesting and they had a sure chance of winning.

They suddenly felt relaxed all over and ran even faster.

~

The defender of Hengzi City is the chief leader of the "Five Elements Sect", Jin Guangcan, and his disciples, as well as deputy chief leaders Liu Lihui, Han Yan and others. They have about 5,000 soldiers under their command. Since they were ordered to occupy Hengzi City, they have never had clean drinking water due to the severe drought.

More than 5,000 soldiers were only able to leave the city every few days and take turns to fetch water from the deep mountains and forests to take a bath.

So, they have already smelled bad.

Suddenly, it started to rain heavily, and the soldiers defending the city all cheered.

Jin Guangcan has been idle since he occupied this city.

He thought that it was raining heavily and the Ming army would definitely not come to attack the city, so he ordered all the soldiers to take a shower and change clothes.

~

A heavy rain, bringing with it a bit of refreshing coolness, made the disciples of the "Five Elements Sect" feel extremely comfortable and refreshed.

They are like an old bachelor who has just married a wife. After feeling comfortable, they become sleepy.

After Han Yan led his men to patrol the city, he saw that it was raining heavily, so he sat down under the arrowhead tower, drinking with a group of generals, chatting about everything under the sun, and dreaming about becoming a founding hero of a dynasty and how to select palace maids after he captured the capital in the future.

As they chatted and drank, they unconsciously drooped their eyelids and gradually fell asleep, having sweet dreams.

In the dream, countless beautiful palace maids, dressed in thin clothes as thin as cicadas, were running towards them and throwing themselves into their arms.

~

"thump!"

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of countless people falling into the moat outside the city.

Han woke up with a start and shouted, "What's that sound?"

The guards on the top of the city woke up when they heard the noise and lit torches in a hurry. They saw the flags of the Ming army below the city raised high, with the words "Shi", "Tian", "Luo", "Liu" and so on inscribed on them. They could not help but shout in panic: "It's bad! Shi Tianyu is leading his troops to attack the city! Come quickly! Come quickly! It's bad! Shi Tianyu is leading his troops to attack the city! Brothers, grab your weapons!"

"Whizzing!"

Liu Sen seized the opportunity and led three thousand archers to shoot arrows at the city wall at the same time.

The rebel guards on the city wall were immediately shot by arrows, and they fell to the ground with screams and died.

~

Han Yan hurriedly grabbed a large iron shield to block the arrows, then drew his sword and yelled, "Someone come! Someone come quickly! Go find the leader! Quick! Someone come, shoot!" After yelling for a while, he found that no one responded.

Han Yan hurriedly held the big iron shield, squatted down, looked left and right, but found that there were no guards standing on the top of the city, all of them were corpses shot by arrows like hedgehogs. Han Yan was terrified, and hurriedly rolled away, ran down the city wall trembling, and personally went to find the chief leader Jin Guangcan, the deputy chief leader Liu Lihui and others to defend the city.

~

Outside the city, Lu Ming, Lu Liang, Cheng Zhengfu and Ma Lingtao saw that the way forward was clear, so they ordered the vanguard soldiers to carry rolling logs and walk across the towering stone mountain in the moat.

They carried huge siege logs and rammed the city gates violently.

Luo Baozhong led more than a hundred people, stepped on the stones to cross the moat, swung the hook rope, and then grabbed the hook rope and climbed up the city wall.

The rebel soldiers in the city came over upon hearing the noise.

However, as soon as they ran up the city wall, they were shot and killed by Liu Sen and his men.

~

"Bang bang!" The rebel soldiers in the city kept running to the top of the city walls, and kept being shot by arrows and falling down.

In the blink of an eye, corpses were piled up on the city wall.

The screams cut through the night sky, and were particularly terrifying on a rainy night.

Jin Guangcan ran to the top of the city wall with a sword in hand, and waved the sword quickly to block the arrows. He found that the person standing on horseback with a shield on the left and a halberd on the right under the city was actually Shi Tianyu. He was shocked and angry, and cursed: "You damn stone demon, it's you again? Damn it, you are so despicable and shameless! It's raining so hard, and you lead your troops to attack the city!" Shi Tianyu, Wei Xueyan and all the soldiers under their command laughed ridiculously when they heard this.

How could Jin Guangcan be scolding Shi Tianyu? Wasn't he praising Shi Tianyu for his courage, wisdom and extraordinary bravery?
"Kill!" Tian Lufeng seized the opportunity, roared, and took the lead in riding his horse and stepping on the stones to cross the river.

He took the knife and cut the iron chains of the suspension bridge, then lowered it.

~

"Bang! Whoosh!"

Cheng Zhengfu, Ma Lingtao and the Lu brothers led their troops to use rolling logs to break open the city gate, but a hail of arrows shot out from inside.

Dozens of Ming soldiers who were carrying rolling logs to hit the city gate were immediately shot by arrows and fell to the ground, screaming and dying.

Tian Lufeng, the Lu brothers, Cheng Zhengfu and his wife, and other soldiers hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid the rain of arrows.

"Swoosh!" Liu Sen ordered the archers to shoot arrows again, and a large number of rebel soldiers who rushed out of the city gate fell down immediately.

~

Shi Tianyu then raised his halberd and shouted, "Kill!" He then took the lead in riding his horse across the suspension bridge and charged into the city.

His soldiers rushed across the suspension bridge, broke through the city gate and entered the city.

Shi Tianyu charged on his horse, smashing hard with his left shield and sweeping fiercely with his right halberd.

Its shield is like a mountain pressing down on one's head, and its halberd is like lightning and thunder.

Under the shields and spears, not a single body of the rebel soldiers was intact.

The rebel soldiers fell down one after another amid screams, and turned into piles of mutilated corpses.

Wei Xueyan did not fight.

He Xiangu held an umbrella to shield her from the rain.

Through the lightning and fire, Wei Xueyan held the silver spear in her hand and quietly watched Shi Tianyu riding his horse, holding a shield and wielding a halberd, charging into battle and killing countless rebel soldiers. For Wei Xueyan, this was a wonderful enjoyment: her husband was both wise and brave, and was a child of destiny. Great! Awesome!

"Kill!" At this time, Luo Baozhong led his troops to climb to the top of the city wall, and then killed people along the top of the city wall, thus cooperating with Shi Tianyu's troops from inside and outside.

The rebels in the city who were still alive were in chaos.

~

Jin Guangcan had a sad look in his eyes. He did not dare to continue fighting and led the remaining troops to flee out of the south gate.

However, it is difficult for them to escape.

Song Ziqing, Ma Dehui, Dudu and their seven concubines had already led the cavalry and were guarding outside the four city gates, waiting for Jin Guangcan, Liu Lihui and Han Yan to lead the remnants to escape and die.

Seeing Jin Guangcan riding his horse and galloping out of the city, Dudu jumped off the horse and slammed into the air a number of flaming swords that were more than ten feet long and wide.

Crack! With a flash of fire, Jin Guangcan, Liu Lihui, and Han Yan were instantly smashed to pieces by the impact of several flaming knives. Their remains were instantly burned by the high-temperature flames without leaving any residue.

~

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect were so frightened that they turned around and ran back to the city gate and ran into the city.

But these rebel soldiers must go to hell tonight.

Luo Baozhong led his troops on horseback, with one of them riding in the lead, wielding a silver spear and charging ferociously from north to south.

Tian Lufeng brandished the Seven Evils Knife, rode past on horseback, slashed and swept the knife fiercely, and led his troops to charge from west to south at an incredible speed.

The Lu brothers led their troops from east to south, charging fiercely with swords, horses and trampling.

Cheng Zhengfu and his wife Ma Lingtao led their troops from the north to the south.

The rebel soldiers who had just returned to the city fell in a pool of blood, with corpses piled up and broken legs and arms scattered all over the ground.

The blood flowed into the moat, turning the moat into a winding river of blood.

~

Seeing that there was no enemy to be killed, Shi Tianyu ordered Liu Sen and Zhao Minna to quickly seize the rebels' treasury silver and food supplies, and ordered Xu Huan, Su Xing and Zhu Xiang to post notices to distribute silver and food to ensure peace and comfort the people.

Next, the affairs in the city were handed over to Zhu Xiang, Luo Baozhong and others.

Shi Tianyu led Wei Xueyan, He Xiangu, Juping and his son Wei Hong, as well as Dudu and his seven concubines, back to the system space to bathe, change clothes and rest.
