Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 631: Wind and rain block the way, Nan Zhen goes down the mountain

"Your Majesty, the army has gathered together, how can we disperse it so easily?" Hearing Ji Gongnie's order, Guo Shifu was immediately shocked.

The Ji Zhou ruled the world and had its own laws and regulations.

The King of Man ordered the armies of the princes to gather at Mount Li and march westward to wipe out the Rong and Di tribes. During this process, there were fixed rules for the number of troops and when they would come.

The rule was to use the beacon fire on Mount Li as a signal.

There are rules about how big the beacon fire should be and how many soldiers the princes should send out.

If the soldiers sent out by the princes are different from the momentum reflected by the beacon fires, and the time when the princes' armies arrive at Mount Li is also different from the momentum reflected by the beacon fires, then the King of Men can also punish the princes for disrespect.

The advance, retreat and turning of the army all caused endless troubles.

Suddenly, the beacon fires had to be reduced and the army had to be withdrawn. Which part of the assembled army should be withdrawn?

The army had a hard time getting to Mount Li. Many soldiers had to prepare their weapons and armor, which delayed the spring ploughing season and consumed a lot of supplies along the way. They finally arrived at Mount Li, waiting to get enough rewards after annihilating the Rong and Di peoples. But now half of the army has to be sent back. Should the soldiers be compensated for the delayed spring ploughing season and the supplies they consumed on the road? And how should they be compensated?
If compensation is required, should it be in the name of compensation or in the name of reward?

If compensation is used as an excuse, given the hierarchy in the Ji Zhou Dynasty, how could a king compensate his soldiers?
If these dismissed soldiers were rewarded in the name of rewards, then shouldn't the other soldiers who were going to the grassland to wipe out the Rongdi and fight for their lives get more rewards?

You must know that in the affairs of nature, what is worrying is not the scarcity, but the inequality!
"Your Majesty, this order cannot be accepted!" Guo Shifu advised. He also knew how risky it was to persuade the soldiers to return.

Basically, whoever does it will die!

——Everyone said he was a traitor, but he was just a traitor, not a stupid one. Of course, he would stay away from such excitement that would lead to his own death.

However, at this time, Himiya Ne had already left the city wall.

As a king, once an order is issued, how can there be any reason to go back on one's word?
Looking at Ji Gongnie's back, Guo Shifu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the army to meet the generals from various countries.

However, after entering the army and seeing how the generals of various vassal states controlled their soldiers, he was horrified.

It seemed that he suddenly realized that Ji Gongnie wanted to reduce half of the beacon fires and disband half of the army.

There is no doubt that these armies that gathered from various vassal states to wipe out the Rongdi are all elite troops.

But the problem is that these elite troops only obey the orders of their commander, rather than directly obeying orders from Haojing.

The purpose of disbanding the army was to cause harassment. When the situation in Mount Li and Haojing could be suppressed, the army would be harassed so that these elite troops gathered from various vassal states would become alienated from their generals.

At that time, Ji Gongnie will come forward to uphold justice for these soldiers, win over these soldiers, and win over these people - in this way, it will naturally be possible to disintegrate the power of those princes from the root.

……

"My beloved, are you feeling better?" Ji Gongnie appeared in front of Bao Si in the Haojing Palace.

On Mount Li outside Haojing, the scale of the beacon fire had been reduced - and then spread to farther places.

Under this extremely sudden order to disband half of the army, both the generals who had already arrived at Mount Li to station and the troops on the way were thrown into unprecedented chaos.

"Lord Shen, military matters are of great importance. How can we change our orders from morning to night?"

"I hope Lord Shen will come forward and persuade the king." In the tent of the King of Shen, some ministers from Haojing and some generals from the Lishan camp gathered here.

"Yes, Lord Shen, the army has come from afar, hoping to wipe out the Rong and Di tribes and gain meritorious service. But now, the army has gathered for a long time and has not left the border. The king has ordered the soldiers to be dispersed. If this is not handled properly, chaos will occur."

Although they all obeyed the order and led their armies to gather at Mount Li, each prince had different support for the Human King, so their formations were naturally different.

The vast majority of princes only sent a general with his soldiers here.

And Shen, as the queen's motherland, naturally expressed the greatest support to Haojing - the king of Shen personally led the army.

Therefore, in the Lishan camp, the king of Shen State is naturally the highest-ranking temporary commander in the entire Lishan camp.

Whether Ji Gongnie wanted to cut down the army or the generals in the Lishan camp wanted to resist Ji Gongnie's orders, they had to go through the king of Shen State.

Looking at those who were gathering in front of him, the hairs on the King of Shen State stood up.

Long before gathering troops, he had advised Ji Gongnie that the Rong and Di tribes were weak, and the army of the King of Ren and the army of the State of Shen alone were enough to sweep across the grassland.

But Ji Gongnie refused to believe it and wanted to see how many princes still disobeyed him, so he insisted on lighting the beacon to gather the princes' army.

Moreover, the scale of the beacon fire was also the largest.

Under this huge beacon fire, the princes naturally expressed their greatest support for the Human King.

Almost one by one, they sent out large armies to "support" Haojing according to the upper limit of the beacon fire scale.

Up to now, the number of troops stationed at the foot of Mount Li is already greater than the number of civilians in the city of Haojing.

For such a large army, the cost of food for the men and horses alone is an incalculable figure!

In order to supply military supplies, there were at least four Taiyi Daojuns who used the method of transportation to deliver the military supplies from various places to various parts of the army in a timely and quantitative manner.

In order to compete for those military supplies, the armies of various countries and tribes in the Lishan camp have fought privately countless times.

However, these conflicts were suppressed by the King of Shen State and never spread beyond the military camp.

But now...

"Lord Guo, has the king told us when the army can set out?" The King of Shen State suppressed the quarrels among the generals in the camp and turned his attention to Guo Shifu.

Hearing this, Guo Shifu also smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Shen, the king has ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate several times, but they still haven't figured out an auspicious time."

The so-called auspicious time is the time when the immortal gods of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and the human race break Ao Bing's magic.

The rain outside the pass is intermittent and endless. In the rain, there is also disease and epidemic air. No matter whether it is ordinary creatures or cultivating immortals and gods, once they are drenched by the rain for a long time, they will inevitably be invaded by the disease and suffer a serious illness. Their hands and feet will become weak, and their strength will be reduced to one tenth of what it was.

Before the pathogenic energy in the wind and rain is resolved, the army will not be able to go out to fight no matter what.

So, everyone is waiting.

However, in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, more than forty Taiyi Daojuns worked together to calculate the flaws and solutions to the wind and rain. They have been calculating for half a year, but they still cannot find a solution to the disease.

In the Imperial Observatory, the more than forty Taiyi Daojuns were even more worried than the generals in Mount Li.

After stripping away the influence of the princes and targeting the water gods in various places, the only forces on earth that were not under the control of the Human King were the scattered Rongdi tribes.

Therefore, everyone knew that Ao Bing's plan must be within the Rongdi tribe - therefore, as long as the Rongdi tribe was wiped out, Ao Bing would never again find an opportunity or chess piece to attack the Human King.

Everyone was also prepared to destroy the Rongdi tribe in one battle and to maintain long-term peace and stability from then on.

But who would have thought that just as the army was gathered, Ao Bing, the Great Dragon God of the Four Rivers, had already demonstrated his tyranny and ferocity to the immortal gods on the side of the Human King with a protracted and continuous storm?

Just this storm was able to block this huge army, which was powerful enough to destroy any Taiyi sect, outside the grassland?

This wind and rain were caused by the Tiangang method of calling the wind and rain, so it was the right time and could not be dispelled by ordinary magic.

And in the midst of the wind and rain, the energy of the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger move together - the energy of the Azure Dragon triggers vitality, enabling living things to 'welcome' the intermittent wind and rain.

The power of the White Tiger has the power of destruction and killing, which can destroy the resistance of living beings to this storm and can restrain the vitality in the living beings' bodies.

In this way, the Azure Dragon made its instincts meet, and the White Tiger made its defenses converge, so the bleak and sick air hidden in the wind and rain followed and entered, and "conquered the city and conquered the land" in the body of the living being. The most important thing is that what Ao Bing performed was not a simple law.

But the Tao.

The intention is to use this performance to transform the wind and rain, which carry the power of the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger and carry the disease, into a common occurrence between heaven and earth, into a natural weather phenomenon between heaven and earth, in order to highlight the differences in the rotation of the four seasons.

This disease only makes people weak but not dead. In addition, the rain comes at the right time of year, and the rain treats the Central Plains and Rongdi equally. As a result, the immortals and gods of the human race wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint, accusing Ao Bing of using magic to hurt people and of interfering in the human civil war without authorization, but they could not find any reason.

As for cracking this method - the forty-plus Taiyi were scratching their heads, and they had no idea where the flaw in this method lay.

After all, that is a method derived from the Tiangang magical power, how could these ordinary Taiyi people find any flaws in it?

"Disease can be cured by medicine." In the Imperial Observatory, the Taiyi Taoist Lords looked at each other for a long time, and then one of them slowly spoke up and made a suggestion.

"Between heaven and earth, there are gods related to medicine and pharmacology."

"And these gods related to medicine and pharmacology all have compassion for the world."

"Why not invite them here to dispel the sickness of this storm?"

The most difficult thing about the wind and rain is the pathogenic energy in it.

As long as the disease can be eliminated, the wind and rain will naturally not be a concern.

“Most of the doctors of heaven and earth do not like to fight or are not good at fighting.”

"Besides, a doctor needs medicine from heaven and earth."

"Therefore, all gods related to medicine and pharmacology are placed in heaven."

"I'm afraid they are afraid of Chongyi Zhentian God and are unwilling to help us."

"I can't break the law."

"It is impossible to eliminate the disease."

“We can’t just rush to Xiaochi Shui and fight with the Four Rivers Great Dragon God, and entangle the Four Rivers Great Dragon God so that he has no time to summon wind and rain, right?” Another Taiyi Taoist said dully.

Everyone fell silent.

Calculating the flaws in the wind and rain in order to find a way to break it is already a very unreliable idea.

The idea of ​​entangled Ao Bing is even more unreliable.

After all, the impression that Ao Bing left on the world was never that of a good-tempered, nice guy - when he took action, he was absolutely decisive.

Looking back at the immortals and gods that have encountered him since his debut, no one who was identified as an enemy could survive in his hands.

It sounds simple to say "entangle Ao Bing", but who knows how many lives of Taiyi Daojun will be sacrificed in order to achieve these four words?

And after paying these prices, it would be fine if Ao Bing could be entangled, but what if he cannot?

Wouldn’t it be that all the Taiyi Taoists died in vain?
None of the Taiyi Taoists present were stubborn, and no one wanted to risk their own life to verify whether Ao Bing's strength was really as terrifying as the legend said.

Amid the spreading melancholy and anxiety, the sky seemed to have lowered its brightness, and dark clouds covering the boundary between the Central Plains and the grasslands slowly spread to all directions.

Amid the gloomy sky, the autumn chill seemed to be turning into winter chill ahead of time.

On Mount Kunlun, the sound of bells rang, dispelling all the bleakness in the sky.

"White Crane Boy, call Nan Zhen over."

Then the cry of cranes rose into the sky.

Nan Zhen was the disciple passed down by Yuanshi Tianzun when the Vedic world was destroyed and he returned to heaven and earth. In Kunlun Mountain, under the tutelage of Yuxu, the existence of Taoist Nan Zhen was a taboo.

Because at the beginning, this Taoist Nanzhen used the name Yuqing!

Later, in order to avoid some kind of cause and effect, Taoist Nanzhen changed his name from Yuqing to Nanzhen.

According to Yuanshi Tianzun, only after achieving Daluo can Taoist Nanzhen change back to his original name.

After Nan Zhen entered the sect, the great Nan Ji Xian Weng, a master of the Chan sect, also broke into the Daluo realm and stayed almost inseparable from Taoist Nan Zhen, guarding him closely.

"Disciple Nan Zhen, pays homage to Master." Taoist Nan Zhen stepped into Yuxu Palace and bowed, then calmed down and waited for Yuanshi Tianzun's instructions.

There are only two situations when Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun summons his disciples. The first is to preach, and the second is to arrange for the disciples to do something.

If it was a sermon, it certainly couldn't be just Taoist Nan Zhen himself who would come.

“Do you know about the fight between the Human King and the Four Great Dragon Gods?” Yuanshi Tianzun lowered his eyes.

"Disciple, I understand." Taoist Nanzhen nodded, with a hint of disdain in his words.

Disdain for the Human King - Among the several great worlds, the Pangu world is known for its courage and spirit. But who would have thought that in the Pangu world, which is known for its courage and spirit, the Human King of this generation is actually a person who is scheming and intoxicated by tricks.

"Master, do you want me to go down the mountain and blame Wang Yudian?" Taoist Nanzhen said.

He was aware of Yuanshi Tianzun's considerations for the entire heaven and earth - therefore, he also knew that the actions of the Human King were a destruction of the overall situation of heaven and earth, and an end to the tacit understanding between heaven and man.

"No, I want you to go to Gaojing to pay homage to the Human King and help his army break the storm of the Four Great Dragon Gods."

"What?" Taoist Nan Zhen said in disbelief.

As for the conflict between Ao Bing and the Human King, let’s not talk about the stances of other immortals and gods, but several major saint sects all stand on Ao Bing’s side.

After all, the Human King's trick of using rumors to cause trouble was really disgusting.

Whether you care about it or not, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, the Human King raised his army in a big way at Mount Li, but was then blocked there by wind and rain by the Four Great Dragon Gods. Several disciples of the saintly sects watched the fun in secret.

But who would have thought that Yuanshi Tianzun would actually ask him to help the Human King?
"Disciple obeys your order!" After a moment, seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun's attitude had not changed, Taoist Nanzhen nodded.

Obviously, Yuanshi Tianzun was going to make his move within the heaven and earth once again - and he was the first chess piece placed when Yuanshi Tianzun returned to the chessboard of heaven and earth.

……

"Got it!" In the Imperial Observatory of Haojing, in the lotus pond where the Taiyi Taoists monitored the vital energy of heaven and earth, the sky light that represented gloomy wind and rain was suddenly dispersed by a burst of rising yang energy accompanied by thunder - and that rising yang energy was moving along a straight line, straight to Haojing.

"The one who breaks the wind and rain has arrived!" Looking at the rising yang energy that was coming straight at them, all the Taiyi Daojuns were excited.

Not long after the news reached Ji Gongnie, the city gate commander sent soldiers to the outside of Haojing City.

"Your Majesty, there is a Taoist outside the city who calls himself Nan Zhen. He says he is from Kunlun Yuxu Sect and has been ordered to come down the mountain to break the storm."

"Come in, come in!" Ji Gongnie stood up and said.

And in the palace, everyone was in an uproar.

Who among those who could enter the Gaojing Palace was not a noble? And who did not know what Kunlun Yuxu was like?
