Seeing Doctor Shen walk into Shi Ji's room after giving a strange order without saying anything else, the generals outside the hall felt extremely confused and didn't know what to do.
Especially Huang Feihu, he felt that he really couldn't keep up with the doctor's thinking. He hesitated for a long time and was about to lead the troops away when he was suddenly stopped by Huang Tianxiang beside him.
Huang Tianxiang said with great solemnity: "Father, do you know why my adoptive father ordered us to lead our troops out of the city to suppress the bandits at this critical moment?"
"Suppressing bandits means suppressing bandits? Is there any special purpose?" Huang Feihu said helplessly.
He is not a roundworm in Dr. Shen's belly.
But Huang Tianxiang nodded very seriously: "Of course, there must be a purpose!"
Then he hurriedly told all about his recent experience of following his adoptive father, and repeatedly explained to Huang Feihu that based on his guess, things were definitely not that simple.
Huang Feihu didn't care at first, but he became thoughtful as he listened.
When I suddenly heard that Dr. Shen was good at using unexpected tactics to win, I suddenly had an idea and felt like I had caught something.
Marching operations are about ever-changing situations and not sticking to the situation at hand. As the saying goes, soldiers have no constant momentum and water has no constant shape.
If there is a surprise force outside, they can advance and attack, attack and kill the enemy at the critical moment, and retreat and defend. Even if there is an accident at Sishui Pass, there will still be reinforcements to help prevent the entire army from being wiped out.
The doctor must have wanted to become the last retreat for the Yin and Shang armies.
He really thinks very far ahead, thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, being prepared for danger in times of peace, and planning for the ages!
Looking at Huang Feihu's expression, Huang Tianxiang understood that his father must have thought of something, and finally understood his adoptive father's intention.
This is normal because even I can think of things.
But is this really the purpose of the adoptive father?
Huang Tianxiang couldn't help but fell into entanglement again. He silently followed his father out of the city.
If you just send an army as backup, just one person is enough, why send your own father and son, and the four generals of the Demon Family?
This is equivalent to less than half of the strength in the city, and it is a force that cannot be ignored. Isn't it just overkill for just wiping out bandits and bandits?
Is there anything important that is not convenient to say?
Well, there is a possibility that the foster father's wisdom is almost demonic, incomparable to that of a human being.
There were countless previous examples, too many to count. The more Huang Tianxiang thought about it on the road, the more something was wrong.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember the recent reports from the generals of the five passes, and he had a vague understanding.
"If they were just ordinary mountain bandits, they would have been exterminated by the Yin and Shang generals long ago, and they would never become big, especially in the hinterland of the Yin and Shang dynasties like Wuguan."
"So the origins of these people are anything but ordinary. I'm afraid it's not someone up to something, Xiqi, or a huge conspiracy secretly set up by some force."
The idea in Huang Tianxiang's heart suddenly became firmer. The more he thought about it, the more he was right. He couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that this was the true meaning of his foster father sending us to suppress the bandits.
…
The Xiqi Central Army and the princes from all walks of life gathered together and remained silent.
Jiang Ziya frowned even more, because some soldiers reported at starry night that the ghost army was defeated. Before they reached Sishui Pass, they were ambushed by Shen Xin's troops and were completely defeated.
】
How can we fight this battle? How should we fight the next battle? Shen Xin is so powerful, who among the allies can still be his opponent!
Jiang Ziya sighed: "I didn't expect that Commander Guifang would be defeated by Shen Xin in the first battle!"
His expression was very sad, without any gloating at all, well, really not at all.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Ziyafang continued.
"The day before yesterday, Nan Bohou's brother disobeyed orders and marched into the army without permission. He lost his life and killed many soldiers. Today, the leader of the ghost army has been defeated by Shen Xin, which dampened his spirit. What can be done?"
All the princes were silent, obviously a little scared.
Only Nanbohou Eshun looked unwilling. He finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said:
"Prime Minister Jiang, what should we do now? Will my brother's death be in vain? Should we just let Shen Xin be arrogant and domineering and treat us and other heroes like nothing?"
Jiang Ziya waved his hand to signal E Shun to be calm. Then he looked around and saw a man standing behind Dong Bohou Jiang Wenhuan. He had an unusual appearance and was sneering there.
Jiang Ziya said in surprise: "Who is behind Dong Bohou?"
After hearing this, Jiang Wenhuan stood up and said: "I am the general of Donglu's army, Ma Zhao. Since I joined the army, I have been invincible and have always been unbeatable."
"It turns out that Donglu has such a capable person!" Jiang Ziya thought and laughed: "If a general goes to war, even if Shen Xin has thousands of troops, he will be defeated."
After saying that, Jiang Ziya hurried forward and bowed, took Ma Zhao's hand and said respectfully: "I wonder if General is willing to take the lead and follow us to fight against Shen Xin and seize the Sishui Pass?"
Ma Zhao was very flattered. He looked at Jiang Wenhuan, and with the other's hesitant nod, he said: "Since Prime Minister Jiang has given orders, we naturally dare not disobey him!"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Ziya looked overjoyed: "Without further delay, our army will march with all its strength to fight to the death with the Yin Shang!"
At this time, there were a total of 18 princes in Qishan, with a total of 800,000 troops. After sacrificing the commander's flag, the army finally set off and headed towards Sishui Pass in a mighty manner.
Outside Sishui Pass, the Allied camps stretched endlessly, and the cold north wind tugged at the flags, and the 800,000 troops were divided into camps and lined up, with murderous intent reaching into the sky.
What a number is this? What kind of momentum is this? No matter how hard you look, you can't see a vague end.
Above Guancheng, the Yin merchant generals came up to watch one after another. Doctor Shen naturally could not be absent from this kind of thing, because it was not that he wanted to come, but was directly invited out of Shiji's room by Wen Zhong with a golden whip.
Seeing the serious look on the old master's face, Shen Xin suspected that he might have misunderstood.
But let's just misunderstand. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. Anyway, as long as one's goal is achieved, if Shi Ji cannot take action, it will definitely increase the danger several times.
Doctor Shen racked his brains for this, and finally he came up with an alternative solution, which was to ask Shi Ji to go overseas to find fellow Taoists to help the Yin merchants.
Of course, things were not that simple. How could he let Shi Ji really go? What if we really invite a powerful person to come out! Then Zhao Gongming's accident is still right in front of him.
So for the sake of safety, Shen Xin casually sent the little fox to be with Shi Ji.
You must know that these two are like enemies. If you say east, the other will definitely go west. If there is no accident, no one will accept the other. Just choosing a direction will probably lead to a fight for several days.
Mad, I'm such a genius.
If we can still invite people back like this, that would be really satisfying.
So Shen Xin followed Wen Zhong and others to Guancheng with a smile on his face. Originally, he was a little worried about whether losing two battles to the Allied forces in a row would create fear.
But with just one look, he gave up his worries, because there were also capable people among the princes.
Although it was a huge defeat, the fact that they could still display such an imposing manner should not be underestimated. At this moment, many of the Yin Shang generals had solemn expressions and even became nervous.
Shen Xin thought this was good. The stronger the Xiqi Allied Forces were, the easier it would be to complete his plan. This was a rare opportunity. Now he wanted to invite the Qingfu Shenbaijian before him.
As soon as they stepped off the city gate and their buttocks were still hot, generals came forward one after another to ask for a battle. The first person who caught their eyes was Yin Hong from Yin Jiao, as well as Deng Jiugong, Zhang Guifang, Yu Hua and others.
"Father, the Xiqi Allied Forces are coming with force and are extremely hateful. Brother Tianxiang has already defeated the enemy army before, so why not let me fight today?"
"We must kill him and leave no trace of him behind."
Yin Jiao and Yin Hong immediately stepped forward and said one thing after another, obviously eager to express themselves.
But how could Dr. Shen be fooled? If he wanted to make meritorious deeds, there was no way.
Obviously, Yin Hong cannot go up to Yinjiao, otherwise the people in Xiqi will not come out, and the princes may not have any opponents.
Zhang Guifang? Not only that, this man is both civil and military, and has superb military and strategic skills. He is also a powerful enemy for the Allies.
As for Deng Jiugong? What's worse, he has to keep an eye on Wen Zhong. Although he doesn't know what the two old men are doing secretly, he still has to keep Wen Zhong under control.
At the moment, the only one who can still fight is Yu Hua. Shen Xin thought for a while, this is okay. His strength is not high and his combat power is not strong. He only has one magic weapon, the black flag, but it was defeated by Nezha's lotus incarnation.
As long as he is defeated, this doctor will have reason to go out and challenge the princes and allies in person. The plan is perfect, so Shen Xin quickly waved his hand.
"Both of you are my Yin Shang Highnesses. How can you take risks easily? Let General Yu take charge of this battle."
Saying that, Yin Jiao and the two retreated unwillingly. After all, his father's fate was difficult. On the contrary, Yu Hua was very excited at this moment. He hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "The last general ordered that even if there are thousands of allied generals, call him Pian." There is no armor left!"
"Yes!" Shen Xin nodded, looking towards the direction Yu Hua was leaving with a smile on his face, and gearing up.
…
At this moment, the allied generals saw that the walls of Sishuiguan City were high and thick, and the Yin Shang army was still stationary, so they felt helpless for a while.
After only waiting for a few days, the ghost commander had gathered his remaining troops and came to meet Jiang Ziya at the foot of Sishui Pass. However, he no longer had the arrogance he had before. It was obvious that this battle had defeated him. Very miserable.
Jiang Ziya didn't say much when he saw this, because it had been expected. Instead, he encouraged him and said to the princes:
"Today, the Yin and Shang Dynasties have won two battles in a row, and their military power is at its peak. We have reached the pass, and we must go all out to win the pass. We cannot make the same mistakes as the day before!"
When all the princes thought of their previous defeat, their faces suddenly turned ugly and they were a little embarrassed. They immediately stood up and expressed their agreement with Jiang Ziya's words and wanted to fight Shen Xin decisively.
But before he finished speaking, some soldiers hurriedly came to report: "Yu Hua, the deputy general of Sishui Pass, followed Doctor Shen's order to lead the iron cavalry down the pass, carrying his jaw with a long pole..."
As he spoke, the soldier looked at Eshun unnaturally, and then, under the impatient expressions of everyone, he whispered tremblingly:
"Carrying General E's head on his head, he came to the stronghold to curse and challenge..."
"Bang!" Upon hearing these words, Eshun almost went crazy and pushed the table in front of him to the ground, shouting angrily:
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
"I and E Shun are incompatible with the Yin and Shang Dynasties!"
After that, he shouted directly: "Who among my subordinates dares to join me in offering the remaining head to the tent?"
After a moment, the heroic general Pang Pai appeared from behind Eshun and was equally angry. He knelt down and prostrated: "I will go there in the end."
The princes were instantly overjoyed, Jiang Ziya also smiled and nodded, and Eshun spoke directly without hesitation:
"May the general win with flying flags!" After saying that, all the princes watched Pang Pai go out of the formation. They only heard three drums blasting outside and suddenly stopped.
E Shun hurriedly stood up and looked out, his eyes full of excitement: "Hahaha, it must be me, General Pang Pai, who has raised his sword and killed the enemy general under his horse!"
"General Pang is our top general in southern Hubei. He has killed dozens of Yin and Shang generals, not to mention a mere deputy general at Sishui Pass!"
"We will kill Yu Hua first, and then Shen Xin, and Yin Shang can be defeated!"
Following Eshun's explanation, all the princes in the Xiqi camp also enjoyed a bright future, especially looking relieved when they thought of Shen Xin's head falling to the ground and breaking the Yin Shang.
Won, finally won.
When he heard the sound outside, he stopped completely. Eshun, regardless of his identity, laughed and went to greet him.
But before he had even taken two steps, a soldier came to report: "No, something bad has happened. General Pang and Yu Hua didn't get along well, so he was killed by Yu Hua."
"Behead...behead..." E Shun's steps stopped in the air on the spot, and then he was a little at a loss.
At the same time, he wondered if he had failed the servant, and then he quickly ordered the soldier to say it again.
The result is still the same.
At this moment, Eshun seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant, and immediately fell to the ground.
He was still muttering to himself: "Impossible, impossible, General Pang is our number one general in southern Hubei..."
As the bad news came, the air in the camp suddenly stagnated. Not only the princes were shocked, but even Jiang Ziya was a little surprised, because he had no idea who this Yu Hua was?
How could it be so powerful?
At this time, Jiang Ziya opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he heard someone among the princes shouting: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Nan Bohou, I have General Yang Lin who can kill Yu Hua."
Jiang Ziya looked around and saw a man walking out of the crowd. He was tall and fierce-looking, holding a pear-shaped mountain ax in his hand!
He didn't hesitate to rush him into battle.
Yang Lin mounted his horse with a big ax in hand. Not long after leaving, a flying horse came to report: "General Yang Lin was killed by Yu Hua again."
At this time, all the princes in the camp lost their composure. They no longer had the calm expressions they had before, and they all stood blankly on the spot.
Before they came to Xiqi to join the alliance, they originally thought that it would be easy to capture and kill Shen Xin if all the princes from the world gathered together to attack Sishui Pass.
But who would have thought that reality would hit them hard in the face, and now they didn't even see Shen Xin's figure, so they suffered heavy losses, it was terrible, simply terrible.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya looked at the frightened expressions of the princes, his eyes showed deep contemplation, and then he waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, I have a vanguard in Xiqi, Nezha, Yang Jian, Huang Tianhua, Lu Xiaobing! They are all powerful generals in the world, and we have to fight alone. , why fear Yuhua!"
Before he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly rushed in: "Outside the camp, there is a Yin Shang doctor, Shen Xin, who has come forward to ask for a fight!"
Jiang Ziya: "???"
…
