After a while, Wang Laozhi came back holding a wooden tray with several bottles and cans and a bowl of water.
Wang Laozhi put the wooden plate on the stone table, then picked up a small blue and white porcelain bottle, opened the bottle cap, and poured all the liquid into a bowl of water. The bowl of water suddenly turned brown. . Wang Laozhi put down the blue and white porcelain vase, picked up a very delicate knife, clasped his fist towards Yang Peng and said, "This subordinate is going to offend the leader." Yang Peng put his left hand on the stone table, Wang Laozhi leaned over and picked up the The knife carefully made a small cut on Yang Peng's finger, and a few drops of blood immediately fell into the bowl. Wang Laozhi quickly put down the knife, picked up another blue and white porcelain bottle, opened the cork, poured out a black viscous liquid and applied it to Yang Peng. The wound on Yang Peng's finger immediately stopped bleeding. It's really amazing. It's as effective as a god.
After Wang Laozhi finished treating Yang Peng's wounds, he immediately stopped the porcelain bottle with a cork and put it back. Then he picked up the porcelain bottle containing the blood of Yang Peng's child, opened the cork, and carefully poured a few drops of blood into the porcelain bowl. Yang Peng watched attentively and saw the blood of the two people gathering together and then touching each other. Suddenly, the barrier disappeared and the two groups of blood merged together at an extremely fast speed. In this situation, there is no longer any doubt. The blood in the porcelain bottle is indeed of the same bloodline as her own. Wang Jun did not lie, she did give birth to her child.
Yang Peng patted his head depressedly. Wang Laozhi said with some worry: "It seems that Wang Jun did give birth to a child with the leader. This is a bit troublesome."
Yang Peng frowned and said: "She can't threaten me with this matter, I will save my child!"
Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "It seems that the leader has a complete plan."
Yang Peng nodded and murmured: "You must be careful in this matter, don't rush it!" Then he smiled bitterly and said: "This can be regarded as my retribution! I am lustful, greedy for flowers, lingering on beauty, and finally I have trapped myself!"
Wang Laozhi laughed and said: "There is no need to blame yourself, the leader. It is human nature to be lustful and greedy for sex, and it is the same for any man!"
Yang Peng glanced at Wang Laozhi and asked teasingly: "So, Lao Wang, you are also very lustful?"
Wang Laozhi nodded seriously: "Of course!"
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said with a smile: "Old Wang, I thought you had become an immortal by cultivation, but I didn't expect that you are still a secular person!"
Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "Even if you become an immortal through cultivation, you can't change your lust for flowers. Of course, it would be better if you could become an immortal through cultivation. After all, fairies are always better than women in the world!" Yang Peng laughed, and then He asked curiously: "I said you, a lecherous old man, do you secretly keep a few lovers?" He looked around as if he was looking for those lovers.
Wang Laozhi smiled bitterly and said: "I would like to, but I am dying, and I don't have the heroic spirit of the leader. How can any woman like me?"
Yang Peng pointed at Wang Laozhi with his finger and scolded with a smile: "You old guy, you are trying to flatter me in a different way!" Wang Laozhi said sternly: "Everything I said is true, I will never dare to deceive the leader!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Come on, it's pointless to say this!" Then he frowned and said: "My lustful and lustful character has caused a lot of trouble. It seems that I have to restrain myself!"
Wang Laozhi glanced at Yang Peng and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy for the leader to do this! The leader is an unparalleled hero. He should be heroic and act willfully. Why bother to tie his hands for some things! Besides, the leader is everywhere Although showing mercy has a bad side, it might also be beneficial to the leader! Many things have two sides, a bad side and a good side! The leader doesn't have to worry about the bad side at all!" Yang Peng clicked. He nodded, glanced at Wang Laozhi, and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense! He is indeed a person who is about to become an immortal!" Wang Laozhi smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The leader is too praised!"
Yang Peng said: "Let's leave it at that." Then he stood up. Wang Laozhi hurriedly worshiped: "Farewell to the leader!" Yang Peng said angrily: "Do you really want me to leave? I still want to look around you!" Wang Laozhi sighed and quickly bowed down: "Master I'm sorry, it was my subordinate who misunderstood! Wherever the leader is going, I will guide you!" Yang Peng then walked towards the back mountain, followed closely by Wang Laozhi. The two chatted about some things, and soon the two of them The figures of the secret guards and the secret guards were obscured by the shade of the trees, and only the sound came. After a while, the sound also disappeared, leaving only the silence of the empty mountain, as if Yang Peng and the others had disappeared.
Yang Peng returned to Yanjing and immediately issued several orders to 'Hua Xu'.
Later that day, when Yang Peng was leading his wives and children to play in the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, an urgent military situation came.
Yang Peng immediately led Yelu Hanyu, Ye Qi Guanyin, and Han Bing back to the study. The tired messenger and Yang Jiumei were waiting for Yang Peng in the study. When they saw Yang Peng and others coming in, they hurriedly paid their respects.
Yang Peng went to the top and sat down, while his three wives stood on both sides. The herald took out a letter from a red envelope, raised his hands high, and bowed: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation from Sichuan!"
Yelu Hanyu took the letter, stepped forward, and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands. Yang Peng received the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it again, with a look of surprise on his face. Putting down the letter, he said to the three women: "This is the situation in Dali. Duan Zhichun suddenly launched an attack on the Emperor of Dali with the help of the Tianzhu army. The Emperor of Dali asked us for help. Shi Liancheng has already ordered the Eighth Army to enter Dali."
Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "The situation is similar to what we expected, but we didn't expect that the Tianzhu people would actually get involved."
Ye Qi Guanyin asked Yang Peng: "Brother, how many troops are there in the Tianzhu army?"
Yang Peng shook his head and said: "Shi Liancheng didn't say anything in the letter, so the situation should not be clear yet."
Han Bing frowned and said: "We have never had a confrontation with the Tianzhu people. But since Tianzhu is the hometown of Buddha, its combat power must be extraordinary! We did not expect this situation before. Now to solve the Dali problem, we may have to mobilize a large army. !”
Yang Peng stood up and walked to the map. His eyes fell on Dali, showing a thoughtful look. He pointed at the Jiangnan area and said: "We still have two legions in Jiangnan. We can mobilize one legion to enter Dali from the east. ." The finger moved to the Sichuan area, "Sichuan does not need to worry about any threats at the moment. We can also transfer the Hanzhong Army to Dali, so that we will have more than 200,000 troops deployed in Dali! According to previous estimates, such a force can solve the problem in Dali. There is no problem at all, but the Tianzhu people are here! How is their combat effectiveness? How many troops do they have? We still don’t know this yet. With these 200,000 troops, I’m afraid it’s impossible to guarantee everything!” After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: “This time It is just in time to test the combat effectiveness of the Junfu Army. All the main armies in the north will not move, and I will mobilize the Junfu Army from Sichuan, Hanzhong, Henan, and Jiangnan. If necessary, put the Junfu Army into the battlefield."
Everyone looked at each other and felt that Yang Peng's decision was too bold. Han Bing said worriedly: "I'm afraid that these Junfu troops have never been on the battlefield. Not only will they not be able to play a role when facing the enemy, but they will become a burden to the regular army!"
Yang Peng said confidently: "No! I believe them!" He glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "We, the main army of the Ming Dynasty, are not born to have experienced hundreds of battles! We are not fighting in one battle! "Everyone felt that what Yang Peng said was very reasonable, but they still couldn't help but worry. This is not their fault. After all, the Junfu Army is just ordinary people in a sense. It is really uneasy for them to go to the battlefield.
Yang Peng looked at the map and thought: "This time, I not only want to test the combat effectiveness of the military government army, but also test our strategic mobilization system! Military offices in various places, while gathering military government troops, mobilize young people everywhere , let them deliver logistical supplies!”
One day later, Yang Peng left Yanjing and rushed towards Bianliang, supported by the secret guards. Yang Peng's wife and children are still in Yanjing.
Yang Peng and his party traveled day and night, and continued to receive reports from Dali along the way. The situation was far more serious than Yang Peng expected. Tianzhu dispatched an army of 500,000 people, as well as a large number of war elephant troops who were not afraid of the loud noise of fire. The cities in Dali fell one after another, and the country of Dali was about to fall.
His eyes turned to Dali. Zhao Xiang'er was helping Dali defend the city in Maple Leaf City. That night, an alarm suddenly came. Immediately, the sky in the west turned red, the earth trembled, and a loud rumble like thunder surged along the night wind. Zhao Xiang'er immediately realized that a large enemy force was coming, and was very surprised. She couldn't help but murmured: "It's coming so fast!" Immediately, Shuai's men, Hua Xu, rushed out of the station, preparing to cooperate with the Dali army to defend the city.
However, as soon as everyone left the station, they saw a chaotic scene in the city. Although the people were scrambling for their lives, even the Dali defenders actually gave up their duties and joined the fleeing army; the city gates were opened on all sides, and the entire city seemed to have become an undefended city.
Zhao Xiang'er frowned and immediately ordered her four leaders to lead a group of troops to rush to the four gates, while she herself led the people to the camp. When I arrived at the gate of the camp, I saw chaos in the camp, and many Dali soldiers were rushing towards the camp. Zhao Xiang'er rushed to the camp and didn't see General Dali. He immediately grabbed someone and asked: "Where is your general?" The man said anxiously: "The general has already escaped!" Zhao Xiang'er was annoyed and at a loss. The man she caught quickly broke free from her grasp and ran away.
"Lord, the Dali army has escaped, let's leave quickly!" a leader said.
Zhao Xiang'er frowned, nodded, and ordered: "Send the order to all teams to retreat immediately!" The leader promised, and immediately gave instructions to several of his subordinates, who agreed and hurried away.
The 'Huaxu' killers scattered in all directions immediately gathered together and prepared to leave the city from the east gate under the leadership of Zhao Xiang'er. More than a hundred people rushed to the east gate, only to see a sea of people and a deafening noise. The people and the Dali army soldiers crowded at the gate and fought to get out of the city.
Suddenly, the people who had already rushed out of the city ran back like a tide, screaming and screaming. And more people wanted to leave the city, but as a result, both sides were blocked at the city gate. The crowds were surging, and they were unable to advance or retreat. Zhao Xiang'er frowned and quickly ran up the city wall and looked outside the city. She was shocked to see a huge crowd behind the people who were running back. They were rushing towards the city following the people who were running back. They were all dressed in strange clothes. The sergeant with a peculiar and sinister appearance is the Tianzhu Army mentioned in the intelligence!
Zhao Xiang'er was shocked and immediately ordered his men to close the city gate.
All the Huaxu killers shouted, "The Tianzhu people are outside the city, please leave quickly!" 'While squeezing toward the city gate. The soldiers and civilians who originally wanted to escape from the city were frightened out of their wits when they heard the shouts of 'The Tianzhu people are outside the city'. They turned their heads and ran towards the city. Now everyone was focused on escaping towards the city. The originally congested city gate suddenly became clear, and a flow of thousands of people poured into the city like a torrent of water. All the Huaxu killers rushed to the city gate, and saw countless Tianzhu soldiers rushing towards them with strange shouts not far away. The situation was still critical!
All the Huaxu killers struggled to close the city gate. Almost at the same time, the dozens of Tianzhu sergeants rushing at the front slammed into the city gate with a loud rumble! The Huaxu killers were holding the city gate with all their strength, and the leader shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hurry up and bring the door bolt!" At this time, there was a loud crackling sound of banging on the door outside, and the Huaxu killers who were holding the city gate only felt A huge force is pushing against the city gate, and it is almost irresistible!
At the critical moment, several Huaxu killers rushed up carrying thick door bars and inserted them into the holes on both sides of the city gate that were deep into the wall. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, there was still a thrilling banging and banging sound outside the city gate. The entire city gate was shaken by waves of huge force, and the dust on the city gate continued to fall.
Zhao Xiang'er stood on the city gate and shouted: "Everyone, come up!"
The killers heard the call and immediately ran up the city wall. Zhao Xiang'er pointed to the barrels of kerosene on the city gate and said, "Pour the kerosene and attack with fire!"
The killers immediately followed suit and poured buckets of kerosene down the chute above the city gate. The Tianzhu soldiers who were hitting the city gate at the city gate only felt liquid pouring down from above. However, they were so excited at the moment that no one took it seriously. The city gate was banged and banged by them, and it was crumbling, and it looked like it wouldn't be able to hold up for much longer.
The killers dumped more than a dozen barrels of kerosene, and Zhao Xiang'er shouted: "Okay, throw the torch!" The killers immediately got out of the way, and immediately several killers ran over with torches and threw the torches down the chute. The torch fell from the chute into the city gate, fell on the heads of the Tianzhu soldiers, and fell to the muddy ground. Suddenly, several fires burst out, and then there was a loud roar of wind and fire, and the flames spread quickly like a demon, and blazing flames suddenly burst out from the city gate; the Tianzhu soldiers in the city gate were instantly overwhelmed by the flames and let out With heart-rending screams, they all gave up hitting the city gate and ran out. The Tianzhu soldiers in the distance could not help but be horrified when they saw their own soldiers running away covered in fire and screaming heart-piercingly.
Zhao Xiang'er couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Tianzhu people had suspended their attack. At this moment, a secret guard rushed over anxiously and reported: "Lord, the Tianzhu people have appeared on the north, south and west sides and are rushing towards the city! They are about to enter the city!"
Zhao Xiang'er was startled and quickly looked up in several other directions. Sure enough, we saw waves of countless torches coming towards the city from the north, south and west. Thousands of people gathered near the city gates on the three sides. Those outside the city wanted to escape into the city, but those inside the city wanted to escape. In the city, both sides were crowded at the city gate, but the result was that neither side could advance or retreat.
Zhao Xiang'er didn't have time to think about it and immediately ordered several of his leaders: "Go and close the city gate!"
The Huaxu assassins immediately divided into four teams, one team stayed at the east gate, and the other three teams rushed to the north, south, and west gates respectively, closing the gates at the critical moment. However, many people were locked up outside the city. They saw the Tianzhu army rushing into the people like wolves and tigers, slashing and killing them wildly. Their blood and flesh were flying under the firelight, and their shrill screams were horrifying. The troops in the Buddha's hometown showed no mercy to the people of this Buddhist country, and they slaughtered them like animals! Benevolence and righteousness itself is a joke. The only way to survive is to prey on the weak. If you want to survive, you can only turn yourself into a tiger and turn others into your blood food. Benevolence and righteousness are the poison that turns you into a lamb. You must not do it!
Zhao Xiang'er couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Tianzhu troops in all directions had suspended their attacks. Then he considered taking advantage of this opportunity to open the city gate and break out. At this moment, bursts of crying came from the city, full of fear and despair. It was the people crying in despair. Zhao Xiang'er couldn't help but frown.
A leader ran up to Zhao Xiang'er, clasped his fists and said, "Leader, the enemy has temporarily retreated. But I guess they will start attacking again soon! We should take advantage of this opportunity to break out!" Zhao Xiang'er looked thoughtful. Se, without speaking, thought she was worried about not being able to break out, so she said: "The enemy didn't expect us to break out of the city, and it's night now, so it's hard for them to find us!"
Zhao Xiang'er said: "What will happen to the people here if we leave?" The leader was stunned and said quickly: "They are the people of Dali, we have no responsibility to them!"
Zhao Xiang'er shook his head and said: "Many of them are Han people. We have responsibilities to them. We can't leave them alone!" The leader frowned and asked: "Does the leader want to stick to this place? But we only have more than a hundred People, and we are only good at sneak attacks, not good at defending the city! Although the Tianzhu people outside the city are just a vanguard, there are tens of thousands of them, and it is impossible for us to defend them!" Zhao Xiang'er said: "Defend them! We must keep it no matter what, we must do our best! You will never forget our oath!"
The leader's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists and said: "I understand, I will arrange it now!" Then he ran down. Zhao Xiang'er stood on the city wall and looked at the many people in the city. He saw many Dali soldiers in armor mixed among the people. He suddenly had an idea and said to the two leaders around him: "Go down immediately and bring the Dali soldiers to the city." Organize them all for me! Tell them to take up arms and fight with us if they want to live!" The two leaders agreed and prepared to run down.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Xiang'er shouted. The two leaders stopped immediately. Zhao Xiang'er said: "You can also tell them that our reinforcements are on the way. As long as we hold on until our reinforcements arrive, everyone can survive! Otherwise, once the city is broken, everyone will die, just like Just like Qingshui City before!" The two of them agreed and ran down. Qingshui City in Zhao Xiang'er's mouth is the name of a city. Not long ago, the Tianzhu army broke into Qingshui City and carried out a brutal massacre. Nearly ten thousand people were killed and only less than 300 people were left. These 300 people were all young people. It is self-evident why women survive. The originally beautiful and pleasant Qingshui City suddenly became a hell on earth!
The Dali soldiers were in disarray, and without their leader, they were left without a leader. Hearing the call of Huaxu's killers, the Dali soldiers gathered together again.
A Huaxu leader led two Dali officers to Zhao Xiang'er. The two of them had met Zhao Xiang'er in the general's tent. They knew that Zhao Xiang'er was actually an important figure in the Ming Dynasty, so they bowed and paid homage: "I have met you, sir!" Not long ago, Duan Zhichun suddenly found the situation with the help of the Tianzhu army. The attack shocked the Dali government and the public. In desperation, the Dali Emperor followed his daughter Qionghua's advice and immediately asked Ming Dynasty for help. Hua Xu, who was lurking in Dali, appeared in public at this time and helped Dali defend the city. However, because the people of Dali are a Buddhist country, they have a natural reverence for the Buddha's kingdom. Therefore, they often collapse without fighting before they have a confrontation with the Tianzhu army. The allied forces of Tianzhu and Duan Zhichun are invincible, and the situation in Dali is extremely dangerous.
Zhao Xiang'er said: "You two generals don't need to be polite!" The two straightened up. Zhao Xiang'er asked: "Where is your general?" The two looked at each other, and the officer on the left smiled bitterly and said: "The general has escaped long ago. The two of us should be the highest-ranking Dali troops in the city."
Zhao Xiang'er asked, "How many more people do you have?" The officer on the right said, "There are more than three thousand people left." Zhao Xiang'er originally estimated that there might be five or six thousand people left, but she didn't expect that there were only more than three thousand people left. He was dead, and his heart couldn't help but sink. The officer on the left asked with hope: "Sir, I wonder when the Ming army will arrive?" The officer on the right also showed concern. These Dali troops simply did not have the courage and confidence to confront the Tianzhu army, and they only hoped that the Ming army would arrive quickly to save them.
Zhao Xiang'er naturally understood what they were thinking and said, "We can arrive in these two days." When the two officers heard that it would take another two days to arrive, their hearts sank, and all the worries were reflected on their faces. .
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
