The white dragon in the clouds was of course Bai Suzhen. When the entire city of Hangzhou was filled with thick smoke, flames soaring into the sky, loud noises shaking the sky, and cries shaking the earth, Bai Suzhen just wanted to put out the fire as quickly as possible in order to save as many people as possible. The creatures in Hangzhou City no longer care about exposing their identities.
Transform into a dragon and move clouds and rain, which can put out fires faster and more accurately.
Bai Suzhen didn't care about exposing her identity, transformed into a dragon, and instantly put out the fire in Hangzhou City.
Although the fire was fierce, it was put out in time and the casualties were not large.
If Bai Suzhen hadn't put out the rain and put out the fire, with the burning speed of kerosene, the entire city of Hangzhou might really turn into a sea of flames.
Bai Suzhen was canonized in the Shushan world, and obtained the origin of the ancestral dragon. She has transformed into a dragon, and the white dragon she transformed is a real white dragon.
Bai Suzhen's incarnation of the white dragon is invisible in the clouds. In the process of moving clouds and raining, only a vague figure is revealed, but it cannot escape the eyes of the desperate people of Hangzhou.
Because, when fires were burning everywhere, they could no longer find a way out. Their only hope was to hope that God would be kind and a heavy downpour would extinguish the fire.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, with white dragons looming among them. The downpour quickly extinguished the fire in Hangzhou City and saved hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Hangzhou City.
With tears in their eyes, the people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking Bai Long for his life-saving grace.
Bai Suzhen was recognized by hundreds of thousands of people in Hangzhou City, and was also canonized in the Piaomiao Realm. Her strength increased by several percent, and she refined part of the origin of the ancestral dragon.
The people's gratitude to Bai Suzhen and the merit of extinguishing the fire fulfilled Bai Suzhen's path.
When the fire ignited, the desperate resentment of the people aroused the law of heaven. The lame Taoist was punished by heaven, and thunder struck at the lame Taoist and the black gourd.
No matter how big the storm is for ordinary people, it will be difficult for them to trigger divine punishment.
The lame Taoist is a cultivator. Not only is his strength beyond imagination, but the place where he attains enlightenment is in the Three Realms outside the Piaomiao Realm. He has been rejected by the rules of heaven in the Piaomiao Realm.
The lame Taoist's killing outside the city of Hangzhou had already triggered the law of heaven, and the act of burning the city of Hangzhou finally completely triggered the punishment of heaven.
The lame Taoist realized that something was wrong, so he saw the opportunity quickly and ran away quickly. Otherwise, he might really be destroyed by the law of heaven.
The lame Taoist escaped, and the Taoist soldiers escaped from control and joined the rebels' fleeing camp.
Tong Guan, who gathered the troops outside the city, was reaping the benefits.
The rebel army was defeated, the Taoist soldiers dispersed, and those deserters who had been hiding for fear of death returned to the army one after another.
The imperial army was defeated, and some people got separated, so they hid directly. When they heard that the enemy had a problem, victory was in sight, their lives were no longer in danger, and they didn't want to be deserters anymore, they returned to the army.
In just three days, Tong Guan's army increased by more than half, from less than 30,000 to more than 16,000.
At that time, Chu Huizong sent Tong Guan as the Xuanfu envoy, leading an army of 150,000 people to crusade southward. At the same time, he issued an edict to Han Shizhong and Wang Zhen to recruit another 100,000 troops on the southeastern roads to supplement the strength of the front line.
At this time, 100,000 reinforcements recruited by Han Shizhong and Wang Zhen along the southeastern roads also arrived.
Although he lost nearly 90,000 troops, with the addition of reinforcements, Tong Guan's strength recovered to 70%.
Of course, new recruits are not as useful as veterans. Compared with when he went on the expedition, Tong Guan's strength has weakened, but the timing is in his favor.
The rebel army was crippled by the lame Taoist. The lame Taoist burned the city of Hangzhou and was punished by heaven. He was forced to flee. He will definitely not dare to come back in a short time.
In the entire Jiangnan, Tong Guan has no rivals.
According to the third tip, Tong Guan "gathered the remaining troops and waited for the opportunity", and finally waited for his opportunity.
Tong Guan originally thought that he could easily destroy Fang La with his own strength, but he didn't know which side the lame Taoist was on, so he asked Zhuge Banshan for advice.
In Tong Guan's opinion, a clown like a lame Taoist could not control the situation, but he was afraid that he would interfere with it. He asked Zhuge Banshan about the lame Taoist, mainly because he wanted to know the importance of the lame Taoist in Chu Huizong's heart.
Zhuge Banshan's series of alarmist remarks simply deified the lame Taoist. Tong Guan did not refute, but he disagreed in his heart.
The purpose of Tong Guan's trip was achieved, and he knew Chu Huizong's attitude. If he could kill the lame Taoist, Chu Huizong would not only not punish him, but it would also be a great achievement.
As for Zhuge Banshan's three tips, Tong Guan actually didn't want them. He thought that with his 150,000 troops, he could sweep across the entire Jiangnan. The three inexplicable tips were just a joke.
Tong Guan already had a plan in mind, and he just wanted to be polite to Zhuge Banshan before he asked Zhuge Banshan to teach him how to defeat the enemy.
In Tong Guan's view, Zhuge Banshan was just a civil servant who knew how to govern the country. The reforms he proposed were indeed beneficial to enriching the country and strengthening the army, but he did not know how to lead troops to fight.
Asking Zhuge how to defeat the enemy halfway up the mountain is tantamount to asking a blind question.
Tong Guan was just being polite, expressing his affirmation of Zhuge Banshan's talents, complimenting each other, and the friendship was established, and the world became more harmonious.
In the officialdom, the more friends the better, and the fewer enemies the better. This is just the old-fashioned way of life.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Banshan actually took it seriously and even gave him three tips as gifts, saying they could help him defeat the enemy.
At that time, Tong Guan was very contemptuous of Zhuge Banshan's overestimation of his capabilities. He really wanted to throw three tips in Zhuge Banshan's face and tell him:
"You are just a civil servant, what do you know about leading troops in war? What are you messing around with here?
With my Tong Guan's military talent, could I still deal with a little Fang La? "
With Tong Guan's violent temper, he really wanted to fall out immediately.
However, the way of being an official does not allow him to be willful. One more friend will open up a new path. Tong Guan wants to be friends with Zhuge Banshan.
Therefore, Tong Guan suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart and showed a humble look, making himself really think that he was very grateful to Zhuge Banshan for meddling in other people's affairs.
No, it should be called a helping hand. Tong Guan tried hard to convince himself that he turned being nosy into a helping hand.
Tong Guan deceived him, Zhuge Banshan didn't notice Tong Guan's dissatisfaction, and everything was happy.
Instead of rejecting the three tips on the spot, happily accepting them, and thanking Zhuge Banshan, all these are just hypocritical politeness.
Tong Guan has mastered the art of being an official.
The failure of the forward battalion and the news he received from the survivors made Tong Guan truly feel the terror of the lame Taoist.
Tong Guan, who was originally confident, became a little worried about gains and losses, and his confidence began to waver.
If you can't crack the lame Taoist's dream stealing, even if you can win, it will be a miserable victory.
At this time, Tong Guan did not dare to be careless and wanted to see if Zhuge Banshan's tips could help him.
Tong Guan vowed to open the kit, but the kit actually triggered the way of heaven and directly broke the lame Taoist's dream.
Tong Guan finally understood Zhuge Banshan's true strength and had greater expectations for the last two tips.
Next, Tong Guan finally waited for the time he wanted with the help of the next two tips.
Tong Guan is ready to send his army to completely eliminate Fang La's forces.
At this time, although the fire in the city of Hangzhou was extinguished, the rebels were almost all gone. There were only a few thousand people left around Fang La and others.
With only a few thousand men, they would definitely not be able to stop Tong Guan's army. Fang La had no choice but to order a withdrawal from Hangzhou and gather the fleeing rebels along the way to strengthen his own strength.
After Tong Guan occupied Hangzhou City, he sent his troops to chase and kill the fleeing rebels. The situation was reversed, and everything was under Tong Guan's control.
