Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Chapter 788 788. Elusive Fighting Style

"Thank you, Lord Stone!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

"Yellow sand wears golden armor after a hundred battles, Shi Lang's clever plan brings peace to the world!"

At daybreak, the people in the city received the silver and grain distributed by Xu Huan, Zhu Xiang, Su Xing, Luo Baozhong and others, and they all knelt down to thank the soldiers. These people were all moved to tears and shouted with gratitude.

~

Zhu Xiang, Su Xing, Xu Huan and others really didn't expect that everyone would know the slogan "The yellow sand has worn away the golden armor after a hundred battles, and Shi Lang's ingenious plan has brought peace to the world". No matter which city the people were from, they would shout this slogan. It was really touching.

They also felt more sincerely that Shi Tianyu's love for his people like his own children was right and absolutely correct.

So, Zhu Xiang, Su Xing and others led their troops to help the common people up, and then bowed to them one after another.

Then, they returned to the county government office tiredly to rest.

Zhu Xiang, Su Xing, Xu Huan and others are too tired! Following Prince Shi, they are promoted quickly, but it is very tiring.

No matter what you are doing, you have to do it vigorously and vigorously.

However, they can now finally sleep peacefully.

~

Because of the heavy rain, the news that Hengcheng fell into Shi Tianyu's hands would not spread for the time being.

It has been many years since Qin had seen such heavy rain.

The heavy rain lasted for several days, with intermittent clear weather.

Some landslides occurred, and the water levels in rivers and lakes surged.

Even if spies went out to report, their speed would not be fast.

~

In the house at the southeast end of the Ice and Fire Island in the Bihu Lake of the system space.

Wei Xueyan was lying in Shi Tianyu's arms, and asked with a fragrant breath, "Why don't you mess with the rebels, but always mess with me?

This is a war, and you are still enjoying yourself! Get up quickly! Set out quickly to recapture the next city.

Didn't you say before that you wanted me to be the lord of the grassland? Didn't you say that the Lindan tribe was about to move westward?

You have to keep your promise and let me be the lord of the grassland!
Now, the martial arts world is treating you well, but because I am the daughter of Wei Zhongxian, they still harbor hostility and hatred towards me. I'd better go to the prairie with my son to live."

~

Shi Tianyu hugged Wei Xueyan tightly and said with a calm smile: "In war, the key is to surprise the enemy. As the saying goes, good people are blessed by heaven, which means that your heart determines your appearance, and your kindness is your feng shui.

We live facing the sun, and be a warm person, neither sad nor arrogant, but clear and kind.

Over the years, those rebel generals have simply wanted to take advantage of drought and famine to incite the people to rebel, seek personal gain for themselves, and conquer the world for themselves. Will they take into account the interests of the common people?
Will not!
Therefore, their hearts are not good, and good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil.

As for me? Whenever I arrived at a place or captured a city, the first thing I did was to open the warehouses and distribute grain to the people. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, so I am not only handsome and have good skin, but I also always win the hearts of the people.

Don't worry, those rebels are no match for me.

As long as the imperial court uses me, no matter how much those rebel leaders struggle, it will be useless.

After a few more years of fighting, the rebels will flee as soon as they hear that I am coming and will never dare to fight me.

After this rebellion is quelled, I will take you to the grassland and build two grassland ice cities. I will let Lu Ming and the others stay in the other ice city to form a horn with you. If a war breaks out, you can cooperate and support each other. "

~

Wei Xueyan smiled sweetly and said, "You have good skin because you have successfully practiced the Mingyu Gong. It is also my credit. Otherwise, how would you have the opportunity to meet Princess Zhu Yingya and practice the Mingyu Gong?"

After saying that, he reached out and twisted Shi Tianyu's ear, then got up to teach his son Wei Hong how to speak and walk.

Shi Tianyu got up at noon and leisurely had lunch with Wei Xueyan and her son, He Xiangu and Juping. Then he walked out of the system space and led his troops to Xixi City in the rain.

The cavalry he led were all cavalry, and they were not afraid of the muddy roads and still moved very fast.

It was still a surprise attack, catching the rebels off guard.

~

Hong Sigu, the leader of the "Qiankun Sword Sect", led his disciples from Hanzhong northward and rode their horses to Zhashui.

Originally, they could arrive within two days.

However, due to a heavy rain, the journey had to stop from time to time. It took Hong Sigu and his companions more than ten days to reach Zhashui.

~

Wang Biao, the defender of Zhashui City, was moved after hearing what Hong Sigu said. He thought to himself: If Wang goes to join Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, this would be a good idea! That Tang Meiling, no matter how talented she is, is still a woman after all.

In addition, Tang Meiling's relationship with Shi Tianyu was unclear before.

This involved the reputation of the Dead Stone Demon, and it would be difficult for Tang Meiling to gain recognition from the martial arts world. The most hateful thing was that Tang Meiling actually controlled all the money, food, and beauties in Zhashui City in her hands and sent them to Xi'an.

~

Wang Biao thought for a while and was about to reply to Hong Sigu when suddenly a spy soldier came to report.

The spy said in a panic, "Report! General Wang, Yin Kai, who came to attack Zhashui, led his troops to suddenly turn west, and his 20,000 soldiers suddenly attacked Hanyin."

Wang Biao, Hong Sigu and others screamed, "What? What what?"

Just as he finished speaking, another scout came to report: "Report! When Murong Sheng led his troops to Dongzhen Fort, they suddenly turned west. His 20,000 soldiers and horses suddenly attacked and captured the Ningshan Fortress."

Hong Sigu, Wang Biao and others were stunned and felt a buzzing in their heads and ears.

~

At this time, scouts continued to come to report:
"Report! Shi Tianyu led 30,000 troops and marched forward in the rain. He has already captured several cities including Hengzi and Xixi."

"Report! Hanzhong defenders He Biduo, Wu Zhenzi and others heard that Xixi and other castles were under siege, so they sent troops to help. As a result, Hanzhong was taken advantage of by Wu Xiang and Yuan He."

"Report! Xu Liang, Xu Zeng, Han Liu, the head of Wanfamen, Liao Xiugui and others led 20,000 troops south. They just left Nanzheng and headed south to Tuchuan, but were blocked by heavy rain and were stranded in Nanzheng. Now they are trapped by Qiu Yang's 30,000 troops."

"Bang!" Hong Sigu suddenly felt dizzy and fainted on the ground.

~

"Haha!" Wang Biao laughed dejectedly, lamenting sadly that fate played tricks on him.

Hey! Even God didn't give Wang a chance to make a comeback.

Oh! What a joke!
Wang Biao smiled with tears in his eyes. He leaned over and pinched Hong Sigu to wake him up, saying sarcastically, "Master Hong's clever plans always end up costing both the wife and the army!" "Woo!" Hong Sigu was so embarrassed that he didn't bother to argue with Wang Biao and ran out of Zhashui City crying.

He led his disciples and rode to Xianyang to report the news to Li Zicheng.

~

At this time, Fei Youdao flashed out from behind the curtain and said to Wang Biao: "General Wang, it's a good thing you didn't rashly agree to Hong Sigu's request!" After that, he patted his chest and said that it was a close call! It was a close call!
Wang Biao took a few deep breaths and his face was very pale.

Seeing this, Fei Youdao quickly shut up.

~

The rain stopped and the sky cleared up with a gentle breeze and beautiful weather.

A slight cool breeze turns the withered flowers, plants and trees green.

Shi Tianyu led his army into Hanzhong and collected the rebels' silver and grain, all of which were used for disaster relief, in order to comfort the people and speed up the recovery of lost territory.

Qiu Yang was exhausted and came to the Central Army Hall in Hanzhong City to report. He knelt in front of Shi Tianyu and said guiltily: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I besieged Nanzheng for many days, but Han Liu and Xu Zeng, the rebels, escaped. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

~

Shi Tianyu did not blame Generals Qiu Yang and Liu Jian. Instead, he entrusted them with important tasks and said in a friendly manner, "Okay, General Qiu, you lead 10,000 troops to stay in Hanzhong. General Liu, you lead 10,000 troops to guard Xixi."

After saying that, he leaned over and stretched out his hand to help up Generals Qiu Yang and Liu Jian.

Then, Shi Tianyu turned around again and shouted, "Come here, tell all the soldiers to bathe, change clothes, eat, and set off to Ankang City to meet Lord Feng and Lord Yin."

"Yes!" The messenger responded and left.

After a while, Shi Tianyu led his troops to leave Hanzhong.

~

At dusk, when the sun sets, the sky and the earth are filled with orange and red.

Shi Tianyu and Wei Xueyan led the army back to Ankang City.

Feng Wu and Yin Youzhao led all the soldiers and officials out of the city to welcome them with a very grand ceremony.

Before this, Yin Youzhao had received good news one after another.

At this time, Yin Youzhao saw Shi Tianyu and praised him repeatedly, saying: "The prince and the princess are a perfect match, and they have come up with such a wonderful plan. With the blessing of God, a heavy rain has allowed our army to quickly recapture many castles and has already connected southern Shaanxi.

Now, our army and the imperial troops in northern Shaanxi have formed a pincer attack on the rebels in central Shaanxi.

The success of suppressing the rebellion is just around the corner!"

After praising, he laughed out loud and finally felt relieved.

~

Feng Wu's attitude towards Wei Xueyan has changed again.

He also had more and more respect for Wei Xueyan.

~

A long and heavy rain made the dead trees look brand new.

Some green leaves actually grew on the bare branches.

The general's mansion in Xi'an city.

Peng Jinshi bowed to Tang Meiling and reported the military situation, saying, "Princess, it is rumored that Hong Sigu has arrived at Zhashui City and has had close contact with Wang Biao. I think Wang Biao may have the intention of rebellion and wants to abandon us and join the bandit Li."

Tang Meiling was listless, but after hearing this, she made some arrangements and said, "Then let's replace Wang Biao and let him lead his troops to attack Shanyang City. Let Yao Chaohai take over Zhashui City."

~

Peng Jinshi was quite worried and asked nervously, "What if Wang Biao doesn't obey our orders?"

Tang Meiling sneered and said, "You lead Longtanhu, Duojiduo and other tiger generals to guard the battle. Wang Biao will not dare to disobey your orders."

Peng Jinshi nodded and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Tanhu praised: "What a brilliant plan! However, after Shi Tianyu has pacified southern Shaanxi, he will definitely lead his troops north to fight us! This man is elusive in his use of troops. Even such a heavy rainstorm could not stop his advance. It's really scary! It's really hateful!"

~

Tang Meiling's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to reveal her feelings, and pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be afraid of Shi Tianyu.

Our Great Qing Empire is invincible. Sooner or later, this world will be ours.

Now, Li Zicheng invited the leaders of the thirteen rebel armies to gather in Xianyang, intending to unite the thirteen rebel armies and march south to drive out the Ming army.

General Long, I am going to Xianyang. You should drive Wang Biao out of Zhashui City first.

We will discuss other matters later."

~

After Tang Meiling finished speaking, she felt sad. She didn't expect that she would really have to fight with Shi Tianyu.

However, she also held back her sad tears and waved her hand to let Longtanhu and other generals retreat.

Then, Tang Meiling led dozens of guards and rode towards Xianyang.

Under the watchful eyes of Peng Jinshi, Longtanhu, Duojiduo, Yao Chaohai and others, Wang Biao had no choice but to give up Zhashui City and lead his troops to the southeast to attack Shanyang City.

~

The moon is bright in the sky, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

In Ankang city.

In the General Military Mansion.

Shi Tianyu, Yin Youzhao and Feng Wu were discussing matters with the generals.

At this time, Feng Tianzhu led a group of guards to escort Eunuch Huang to deliver the imperial decree, appointing Feng Wu as the general of Liaodong, Yin Youzhao as the general of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Wu Xiang as the deputy general of Liaodong. Shi Tianyu was also appointed as the general grain officer of the army and horses of the whole country, and concurrently the general of Liaoxi and the prefect of Guangning.

~

After Feng Wu received the order, he stood up and said, "We will not stay overnight to receive the order. Wu Xiang, there are already hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border. You and Yuan He will take a thousand people to follow me to Shanhaiguan. The rest of the troops will be left to Prince Shi and Lord Yin." He was very upright and had a very good relationship with Yin Youzhao, so he only took a few people with him.

~

Shi Tianyu knew that the rebellion was about to be suppressed and Zhu Youjian was on guard against him seizing military power.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian gave him the honorary title of the chief military and grain officer of the whole country.

~

At this time, Yin Youzhao called all the generals to see Feng Wu and others off.

After Yin Youzhao and Shi Tianyu bid farewell to Feng Wu and others with tears, they returned to the general's mansion in the city.

At this time, another scout came to report the battle situation: "Report! Lord Shi, Lord Yin, Gao Yingxiang led his troops to join Li Zicheng, and united 13 armies and horses, and are rushing towards Ankang City. Many rebel forces have advanced to about 20 miles outside the city."

After Yin Youzhao received the report, he turned sideways and looked at Shi Tianyu.

~

Shi Tianyu smiled calmly and said, "I guess his intention is to take Hanzhong in order to plot against Sichuan."

Yin Youzhao felt that Shi Tianyu's words made sense, so he analyzed them and said, "If Hanzhong is lost, Sichuan will be in danger. Moreover, Qin is barren, and the rebels cannot stay in Qin for long. They must plan to attack the southwest and the Central Plains. Your Majesty, how can we deal with the joint attack of the thirteen rebels?"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "You can have Lü Chusheng lead 30,000 troops under my banner and station them five miles outside this city. The camp should be impressive to confuse and frighten the rebels. And I will lead 30,000 elite cavalry and return to Hanzhong. If we win, I will march north.

Lord Yin led his generals eastward to prevent the rebels from fleeing eastward.

As for the city of Ankang, it was a good show of the Empty City Strategy. The defenders in the city only needed to raise Lord Yin's flag and prepare enough bows, arrows and rolling logs.

At the same time, he sent people to lead troops to the north secretly, and ordered the imperial garrison in northern Shaanxi to march south to attack Luochuan and Yanchuan.

In this way, we will gradually reduce the number of rebels and force them to continue fleeing north and west."

~

Yin Youzhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised repeatedly: "Your Highness's plan is really a brilliant one! At this time, the south, east, and north are all connected by our army, and the rebels' plot to seize Sichuan and the Central Plains has been thwarted. Okay, it's settled. All generals, act according to the plan quickly and raise the troops immediately."

He praised Shi Tianyu, analyzed the situation, and then asked Shi Tianyu to deploy troops and handed over the military power to him.

Shi Tianyu then ordered his generals to do so.

After mobilizing the troops, Shi Tianyu led his troops to Hanzhong.

~

That day, when Shi Tianyu led his troops to Nanzheng, he had already heard the deafening shouts of killing from Hanzhong.

"Kill! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Arrows rained back and forth, flying through the air.

Tian Lufeng rode his horse to catch up with Shi Tianyu, raised his finger and praised: "Your Majesty, the rebels are really attacking Hanzhong. From the momentum, we can tell that there are indeed thirteen armies besieging Hanzhong."

Shi Tianyu then said: "Tian Lufeng, Liu Sen, and Luo Baozhong will lead 20,000 troops to Hanzhong to reinforce Qiu Yang. The king and the princess will lead the rest of the troops to capture Lueyang, and then come to attack the rear of the rebels. Then we will attack the rebels together."

"Yes!" The generals clasped their hands, clasped their fists, and left after receiving the order.

~

The troops that besieged Hanzhong were indeed 13 armies led by Gao Yingxiang who had rushed back from the Central Plains, totaling about 140,000 troops.

When they met in Xianyang, they all believed that Qin was a barren land and not a base for major events.

If one wants to achieve hegemony, one must seek to seize the southwest or the Central Plains.

Also, because famous generals such as Shi Tianyu, Murong Sheng, and Yin Kai led their troops to occupy important cities such as Ankang, Hanyin, and Ningshan, after they formed an alliance, they led their troops together to launch a feint attack on Ankang.

In fact, they joined forces to retake Hanzhong and plan to take over central Sichuan.

~

A chorus of iron hooves passed by, raising dust.

The sky and the earth were turbid yellow and gray.

Regardless of their fatigue, the thirteen armies rushed to Hanzhong and attacked Qiu Yang's camp outside the city.

Qiu Yang led more than 10,000 troops, but was unable to stop the 13-way army and fled back to the city in defeat.

Thirteen armies immediately surrounded Hanzhong.

Hong Sigu offered another plan to Li Zicheng, saying: "We have 140,000 troops, while Qiu Yang has only 10,000 troops. The city will be captured soon. In addition to intensifying the siege, we must also cut off one of his arms."

Li Zicheng was both bold and intelligent. He smiled and said, "Old hero Hong, are you referring to Liu Jian from Xixi City in the east?"

Hong Sigu said, "That's right. However, Liu Jian is not a fierce general, so we can just send the Zhongyuan Liuhe Gang and Wulian Gang to take Xixi."

Li Zicheng felt that Hong Sigu's words made sense, so he ordered Zhao Jianqing and Gong Hanyu to lead their troops to attack Xixi immediately and bring Liu Jian's head to him. Zhao Jianqing and Gong Hanyu received the order and led their disciples, sons and daughters to rush to Xixi City.

~

At this time, Beigong Bo, Zheng Santong, Zhong Wanqiang and others led their troops to attack the south gate of Hanzhong City. They commanded the soldiers to build ladders, prepare strong bows, and force the attack on the city. Qiu Yang led his generals to run back and forth on the top of the city, commanding the soldiers to throw rolling stones and shoot arrows.

"Swoosh, swoosh!" Arrows rained down on both sides, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides.

There were piles of corpses outside the city, and the water in the moat had turned red.

~

At this time, Liu Sen, Tian Lufeng and Luo Baozhong came with their troops. The 20,000 horses they led were all elite cavalry, extremely fast. They rushed from behind the troops of Zhong Wanqiang, Beigong Bo, Zheng Santong and others like a whirlwind.

The troops of Zhong Wanqiang, Beigong Bo, Zheng Santong and others did not expect that someone would suddenly attack from behind. They were charged by 20,000 cavalry led by Liu Sen, Tian Lufeng and Luo Baozhong, and the rebels were immediately defeated.

~

The smell of blood was unpleasant and it was difficult to breathe.

Beigong Bo turned his horse around and galloped over, then jumped off the horse and waved his iron palms to fight against Tian Lufeng's unpredictable Seven Evils Sword Technique. Zhong Wanqiang held the Spring and Autumn broadsword and waved the long sword quickly to fight against Luo Baozhong.

Zheng Santong used the "Pangu Sword Technique" to fight against Liu Sen's Seven Swords.

~

"Qiu can be saved!" Qiu Yang, who was on the top of the city wall, saw Luo Baozhong, Liu Sen, Tian Lufeng and others leading their troops to rescue him. Thinking that Luo Baozhong would appear, Shi Tianyu must be following behind, he couldn't help crying with joy.

So, Qiu Yang gave a loud roar and led his troops out of the city. He led all the soldiers to charge out from the south gate, and joined forces with Tian Lufeng, Luo Baozhong, Liu Sen and others to defeat Zhong Wanqiang, Beigong Bo, Zheng Santong and others. The rebels immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

The siege of the South Gate of Hanzhong City was immediately lifted.

~

When Luo Baozhong saw Qiu Yang, he said to him, "General Qiu, lead your troops into the city and rush out of the east gate. We will charge towards the east gate and then we can attack from inside and outside." After that, he raised the silver spear, and without entering the city, he led his troops to rush towards the east gate.

Qiu Yang also led his troops back to the city, entering from the south gate and exiting from the east gate.

~

The sun sets in the west and a gentle breeze blows.

The ones besieging the east gate of Hanzhong City were Du Yanfa of the "Meteor Sword Sect" and his disciples, who were also leading their troops to attack the city.

Seeing Luo Baozhong leading the way with a spear in hand, He Baicai, the eldest disciple of Meteor Sword Sect, was enraged. He rode his horse forward and slashed at Luo Baozhong with a long sword. Luo Baozhong dodged to the side and swept away with the silver spear, attacking instead of defending.

The spear is long and the sword is short.

Fighting on the battlefield is not like fighting alone in the martial arts world, it also requires excellent riding skills.

~

"Crack!" He Baicai was shot in the waist, and his body was split into two, falling to each side, with blood splattering.

When two armies confront each other, if the commander wins, his soldiers will certainly take advantage of the situation and attack.

Tian Lufeng and Liu Sen immediately led 20,000 elite cavalry, each holding a long saber, and shouted in unison: "A hundred battles in the yellow sand have worn away the golden armor, and Shi Lang's ingenious plan has brought peace to the world!" Together they rode their horses and trampled on Du Yanfa's soldiers. They each waved their long sabers and swept them diagonally, as if they were cutting leeks.

Du Yanfa's second disciple Huang Xingcai saw that his senior brother He Baicai was killed by Luo Baozhong in one move, and he couldn't help but cry out in sorrow: "Senior brother!" Then he grabbed his sword and rode his horse towards Luo Baozhong, trying to kill him.

Luo Baozhong blocked with his spear and chopped with his sword.

"Crack! Bang!" The spears and swords collided, and the sound of golden swords rang out.

Huang Xing's arms had just gone numb and his knuckles ached from the shock, when unexpectedly Luo Baozhong cut off his horse's neck with a single blow.

~

Suddenly, Huang Xingcai's horse fell down, and before he could react, he was trampled into a pulp by Luo Baozhong's cavalry.

Du Yanfa had no time to command the soldiers to attack the city. He hurriedly led dozens of his disciples on horseback to besiege Luo Baozhong.

Their long swords were as sharp as rainbows, and they attacked Luo Baozhong from both sides.

Upon seeing this, Tian Lufeng and Liu Sen quickly jumped off their horses, each holding a sword, and pounced on Du Yanfa and his disciples.

In this way, the game was barely tied.

However, the Ming army's cavalry was well-trained, with fast horses and fierce men. They rushed back and forth, each holding a long saber and slashing left and right, trampling and killing countless rebels.

~

"Kill!" Li Zicheng received the report and hurriedly led Gao Huishan and Liu Zongmin to lead troops to support.

"Kill!" At this time, Qiu Yang led his troops into the city and broke out from the east gate.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides fought with swords and knives, and the fight was extremely brutal.

Luo Baozhong seized the opportunity and shouted, "Retreat! Everyone retreat into the city." Then he waved his spear a few times, cooperated with Tian Lufeng and Liu Sen, smashed the heads of several of Du Yanfa's disciples, and led his troops to retreat into the city.

He led his troops to feign defeat in this way, attracting the enemy's heavy forces so that Shi Tianyu could capture other cities and passes smoothly and quickly.

~

"Kill!" Li Zicheng saw that his troops had won, and led his troops to attack.

However, the guards on the city wall fired a hail of arrows.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat several miles and set up camp.

~

The thirteen rebel armies once again besieged Hanzhong City.

Hanzhong has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

How could the leaders of both sides give up this place so easily?

The sun sets in the west, and a fishy wind blows.

At the foot of the north gate is the central army camp.

The leaders of various factions sat around Gao Yingxiang to discuss countermeasures.

~

When Yichuan King Zuo Gui received the report that Shi Tianyu did not appear in the Ming army, he proposed to speed up the siege.

He turned to Gao Yingxiang and said, "King Chuang, Luo Baozhong is leading his troops here. I think that the dead stone demon is still in Ankang to fight our feint attack troops. Now, our army must divide its forces and go around Hanzhong to the south, while attacking the relevant cities and passes in Sichuan."

Zhang Cunmeng of Luochuan disagreed and wanted to capture Ankang, so he said, "King Chuang, the dead stone demon likes to bring Luo Baozhong with him, and his use of troops is quite magical. Now that Luo Baozhong has appeared, the dead stone demon must be behind him. Zhang thinks that we must divide our forces to really attack Ankang City."

~

Li Dingguo, a staunch subordinate of Zhang Xianzhong, denied the words of the two factions' leaders and retorted: "Even if the dead stone demon is not in Ankang City, Ankang City is the location of the Ming army's headquarters. It is difficult for us to shake Yin Youzhao's army. Li thinks that we should concentrate our superior forces and attack Hanzhong with all our strength." He has always been wise and brave, and has a very good reputation among the various rebel armies.

The monk Wang Yanchuan disagreed and said, "Even if the Dead Stone Demon leads his troops here, so what? Luo Baozhong came with tens of thousands of cavalry, but he was defeated by us and retreated into Hanzhong city in a panic. It would be better if the Dead Stone Demon comes. We can kill him to boost the morale of our army." The leaders of the thirteen armies immediately started a heated argument.

~

Tang Meiling sat on Gao Yingxiang's left side, expressionless and pale, like a statue of a goddess.

At this moment, her thoughts were in turmoil, and she thought to herself: My emperor has received news of civil strife in the Ming court, and has sent troops to seize Jinzhou and occupy Ningyuan. He is about to march south and attack Shanhaiguan.

Hehe! You guys are the best at fighting ghosts.

Alas! What a pity that I still have to fight with Shi Lang.

Where is he now?

Will he come to help Hanzhong?

Or should we stay in Ankang City and fight against the various rebel forces?
