Just when Li Keng was still confused, wondering when such a smart person like him had turned into a thief who stole horse feed.
On Ohnozawa's side, Li Zhen, who had been resting for a long time, finally waited for a gloomy night without moon and stars.
That night, with a loud thunderclap, the originally silent and dark military camp was suddenly illuminated into daylight!
Some soldiers who were patrolling outside noticed something strange and looked up at the night sky.
But they were horrified to find that a huge fire phoenix was passing over the vast lake, flying over their heads and circling three times, and then rushed straight towards Chang'an with a fierce wind.
How can I use words to describe this shocking scene?
In the dark sky, a huge phoenix burning with blazing flames was flying in the sky!
Among the dark clouds behind it, dazzling lightning appears from time to time, as well as the rumbling thunder that seems to act directly on the human heart!
Anyone who sees this scene has only one thought! That is to worship!
So, the patrolling soldier knelt down, looked up at the sky, and opened his horrified mouth like a hippopotamus!
In the military camp, those who also heard the noise and ran out of the military tent also felt their knees weaken and fell to the ground!
However, this is really not their fault!
In this case, let alone them who have been completely brainwashed, I am afraid that even the good young man Xiao Han will feel weak in his legs!
"The phoenix appears! The world is at peace!"
In the silent military camp, there was only a sound of gasping air rang out from all around! Until a long time later, I don’t know who was the first to shout this slogan! The others woke up from a dream and shouted to the sky: "Peace in the world!"
This sudden burst of shouting was so loud! The sound shook the surrounding areas and soared into the sky!
It seemed that even the dark clouds in the sky had poked a hole, revealing a clear blue night sky with dots of stars.
The huge fire phoenix finally completely disappeared into the night sky. The moment it disappeared, the night sky was gloomy all night, and finally it started to rain heavily!
Those who knelt down in the muddy water faced the direction in which the Phoenix disappeared, still muttering the slogan "The world is one family, the world is balanced" and refused to get up for a long time.
Until their god, their king Li Zhen, appeared from the Central Army's tent and told them calmly: The Phoenix Bird has not disappeared, it has just gone to Chang'an first, and will be there, waiting for the arrival of people like them.
The whole camp of soldiers got up from the ground tremblingly, and returned to the camp full of excitement and longing, waiting to follow the King of Heaven, pursue the mark of the Phoenix, and go to that place where everyone has land to grow and food to eat. ideal world.
Someone has said that in this world, the more ignorant people are, the more absolute they believe, and the easier it is to be deceived and manipulated!
This may be proven by Li Zhen's brainwashing of these people.
Without spending much effort, he convinced the refugees in the army, the family guards, and the former officers and soldiers of the guard station that everything he did was right! Only by following yourself can you be a real person, not a dog at the mercy of others.
With this superstition and the appearance of the phoenix tonight, Li Zhen believed confidently: Even if he immediately ordered these people to rush into the mountains of swords and seas of fire, they would jump without any hesitation.
In Xiao Han's opinion, this so-called divine bird Phoenix may be a complete scam! But in the eyes of them, it is undoubtedly the instruction of the true God!
Even God is on our side! So what else can stop us?
——————————————————————
When the news of Li Zhen's army marching towards Luoyang spread throughout the world.
Not only Liu Hongji and Xiao Han who were guarding Ningcheng felt their hearts sink, but Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and even Niu Jinda who was trapped in Jinan were also shocked and broke into a cold sweat in an instant.
"Can that guy run away?! He should be able to! This is an army of 100,000 people, how can he defend that small broken city?"
Cheng Yaojin, who had been busy these days, immediately summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures in the big tent after hearing the news.
Except for Cheng Yaojin, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, the counselors sitting in front of him were like ants on a hot pot, with cold sweat breaking out on their anxious foreheads!
They had guessed Li Zhen's next move countless times before!
But in their original idea, Li Zhen was most likely to attack Hebei first! Then based on these two places, we can slowly move towards the west!
But who would have thought that Li Zhen would be so resolute and lead the army directly to Luoyang Chang'an regardless of everything!
You know, there are hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding Chang'an at this time! Once this goes, in the eyes of others, it is like throwing an egg against a stone or feeding a tiger with meat!
"No, even though that kid is usually very slippery, his bones are very twisted! What if he gets angry and refuses to run, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
Cheng Yaojin, who was in the chief position, had no intention of guessing how Li Zhen should deal with the hundreds of thousands of tiger troops in Chang'an!
What he is most concerned about now is Xiao Han's personal safety!
This is not only out of friendship and brotherhood! Or because: he really understands Xiao Han's position in Li Shimin's heart!
Despite Li Shimin's daily life, he was also kind and polite to these old brothers who fought together in the mountains and rivers, and even called them Pao Ze brothers!
But Cheng Yaojin knew in his heart that from beginning to end, the only one who could be truly recognized as a brother by the emperor was Xiao Han!
If something really happened to Xiao Han in Shandong, as the main commander in quelling the chaos, he himself, and even Lao Fang, would definitely end up very miserable, very miserable!
Even if he kills all the rebellious officials and traitors in the end, he still won't be able to make up for the loss of this battle!
"No! Lao Mao! Get your troops together, let's go fight him first!"
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin didn't want to hesitate any longer. He slapped the armrest heavily, gritted his teeth and yelled at a strong, well-dressed man in the tent!
"Here!" Upon hearing this, the big man immediately knelt down on one knee and accepted the order! Then he laughed ferociously, and got up to gather his men outside the tent.
These days, he's running around like a fire brigade! Just after we suppressed the bandits here who had turned into bandits, the horse thieves over there appeared again! I'm really tired of this whack-a-mole-like mission to suppress bandits!
Now, when he heard that the commander was finally going to fight the enemy, the big man was naturally overjoyed! I can't wait to have a good fight right away!
