"Captain, Governor?"
"The Governor has gone to bed, what's the matter with Captain Zhang?"
"Oh! It's none of your business. I have important military information to report to the Governor. You can go and rest first!"
Outside Wu County, under the solitary mountain, Sun En's remnant army set up a temporary camp here. Outside the military tent of Yao Sheng, the forward commander and Tianshi Taoist order, Captain Zhang Shidao came to see Yao Sheng.
After Xu Zongwen's sneak attack at night, Sun En, who originally had an army of 70,000, suffered heavy losses. Less than half of his army was left. The fleeing soldiers could not stop him. No one cared whether Zhang Shidao really had military intelligence. All the generals in the army were His mind became active and he was unwilling to be buried with Sun En.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out within half a month, and all the three Wu cities were lost. I heard that Fan Chongmin on the Qiantang side was surrounded by the Jin army and the people near Qiantang, and the army's retreat was also cut off!
Different from other places, there are many troops hidden near Yao Sheng's military tent. These people have quietly returned from other camps. It seems that Yao Sheng has different intentions...
"You're here!" Yao Sheng was not worried about defeat at all. With a smile on his lips, he looked at Zhang Shidao who was getting closer and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Have you contacted everyone?"
Zhang Shidao was about to observe the surroundings in case the walls had ears, but was stopped by Yao Sheng: "Don't worry, my tent is surrounded by all the holy believers who want to join the imperial court. No one will leak the news."
"Captain, after seeing the sacred tokens, everyone is willing to follow the governor to surrender to the court and join Master Du Tian."
"Captain, I dare to ask, do you think Master Du Tianshi is really still alive?"
"It doesn't matter whether Du Tianshi is alive or dead, whether he has ascended to heaven or whether the imperial court is using his name to recruit the Holy Cult, it doesn't matter. We followed Sun En in the uprising because the situation was great, and the land of Sanwu was all in my hands, but now The imperial court has sent out troops, how many of us are left after several battles?"
Yao Sheng's words did not carry any fireworks. He was serious about the matter: "For the sake of everyone's lives and for the sake of the Holy Religion, we can only abandon Sun En, otherwise the imperial court will issue an edict and our people will not be able to save it!"
"The crime of treason involves the three clans!" Yao Sheng stared at Zhang Shidao closely and repeated over and over again that following Sun En would not end well.
Zhang Shidao understood the principle of a good bird choosing a tree to rest, so he was willing to follow Yao Sheng in this risky move. "What the governor said is that all the subordinates are in good contact with each other anyway."
Next, Yao Sheng told Zhang Shidao to continue to contact several wavering generals in the army. He wanted Sun En to die completely without a burial place!
"promise!"
Zhang Shidao left soon, and Yao Sheng knelt down on the couch. In this late night, everyone's heart was not quiet. He was stroking his short beard and thinking secretly, weighing the pros and cons, weighing the pros and cons.
Half a month ago, several followers of the Celestial Master Sect in Jiankang from Yunxian Temple came to join the army. These people claimed to be disciples of Daojun Mingzhi. They heard that Yao Sheng came to serve in the army, so they were arranged by Sun En to stay in Yao Sheng's tent. Down.
Master Mingzhi Yao Lu was the third of the four disciples of the Heavenly Master Du Zigong, and Yao Sheng was the only son of the late Master Mingzhi!
What makes Yao Sheng even more unexpected is that these senior fellow apprentices actually still hold Du Tianshi's Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal in their hands!
"Junior brother, our teacher has not passed away. He has been imprisoned by Sun Tai for these years. Now that he has finally escaped from the sea of suffering, the position of leader of the holy religion naturally belongs to him."
"This seal of Yangping's success in ruling the capital is a token of my ancestor. The Sun thief rebelled in Jiangzuo. He is actually an apostate. He has been expelled from the religion by his ancestors and expelled from the holy religion! Junior brother is of the blood of the holy religion and should be treated with caution. Following the orders of our ancestors, we must step back from the brink and surrender to the imperial court, save the Holy Religion from being burdened by Sun’s kindness, prevent our followers of the Holy Religion from falling into the bottomless netherworld, preserve the remaining strength of the Holy Religion, and assist our ancestors in reviving the Holy Religion in the future..."
The moment he saw with his own eyes the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal, the holy object of Tianshi Dao, his heart was very shocked. From then on, a seed of betrayal against Sun En was planted in his heart.
Now, Sun En has been defeated again and again, and Yao Sheng has strengthened his determination!
When Sun En was walking to the camp, Xu Daofu turned aside and said to Sun En: "Heavenly Master, our army cannot fight at the moment. We are in a dilemma. If we don't make a decision, I'm afraid people's minds will change!"
"I don't know that the current situation is serious. I just don't have a good plan. I can only stick to Douling and worry about it." Sun En had headaches from time to time. During this period, he had a loss of appetite. He was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. The incoming army came again. After defeating Wu County, his ambitions had long been forgotten and wasted.
"Master Tian, I have a plan that may solve the current predicament."
"Oh?" Sun En turned from worry to joy, stood up and grabbed Xu Daofu's hands, asking for advice with an extremely sincere attitude.
Xu Daofan was extremely calm. It seemed that Lu Xun's capture had nothing to do with him, and the defeat of the army had nothing to do with him. He said calmly: "Our army still has thousands of boat divisions on the shore of the Great Lake. If we cross the Great Lake to the west to Yangxian in this way, we can then sneak attack northward. Jiankang!"
Xu Daofu did not continue the rest of the words because he knew that Sun En knew the terrain of Sanwu better than he did.
Sun En let go of his hand, turned around and looked at the marching map carefully, and said plausibly: "The Jin army has never thought that we will cross Zhenze. Although this step is seconds, it is also dangerous."
"Tianshi, the danger must be extremely high! As the saying goes, the imperial army of Jiankang was sent to Sanwu to suppress our army. Now Jiankang City is an empty city!" Xu Daofu stepped forward directly and spoke with The hand points out a clear path between Yangxian and Jiankang.
"Tianshi, Yangxian is only more than three hundred miles away from Jiankang. After our army lands in Yangxian, we can bypass Jingkou and Yunyang Xicheng, drive directly to Jurong, transfer to Luozhou Bridge to raid Stone City, and then Jiankang It’s time to leave!”
"The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty is only a three-year-old child with a yellow mouth, and the Queen Mother Chen is also an ordinary palace woman. What can he understand? The civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty relied on Xu Xiao for conquests. There was no minister with a mind for strategy, let alone When the army approaches the city, dare to come and fight."
"At that time, Heavenly Master, you will depose the young emperor, replace him, create a new dynasty, rule the world, and achieve something great, so why not?"
Raid Stone City and attack Jiankang!
Depose the emperor and stand on his own feet and replace him!
Xu Daofu's plan was so bold that Sun En was hesitant.
"The night is long and the dream is long. Our army is currently trapped in a lonely mountain. It is difficult to move forward in this small area. I am afraid that the Jin army's scouts have already clearly detected our movements. If the army moves, it will definitely alarm the Jin army..."
Although Sun En's desire was temporarily suspended by Xu Daofu, it was quickly extinguished. He was afraid of Xu Zongwen's military power and did not dare to listen to Xu Daofu's words and risk his life to fight for wealth and glory.
Xu Daofu was angry in his heart, but he was afraid that Sun En was the commander-in-chief, so he did not dare to get angry. He could only suppress his red face and ask Sun En for orders again and again: "Master Tian! If Master Tian is unwilling to go, please allow Master Tian to lead his troops to pass." Lake, attack Jiankang for the Heavenly Master!"
"This..." Sun En seemed to be choked, and did not say the next words. Xu Daofu was so anxious that he was sweating on the spot. After a long time, Xu Daofu did not wait for a reply, and shouted directly outside the military tent: "Pass me General, the soldiers of Zuoying board the ship immediately!"
The 20,000 troops under Lu Xun's command were designated as the Zuo Army. After a series of fierce battles, there were only a few thousand left.
After Sun En realized this, he pointed at the back of the high-spirited Xu Dao outside the tent and cursed: "Shuzi! Do you still have this heavenly master in your eyes? I am so angry!"
"That's it, that's it! Let him go!" After scolding enough, Sun En returned to his weak, incompetent look. He fell on the couch, looking at the cowhide tent with a blank look in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly. .
