In the end what happened?
The military champion Zhang Fei and Wu San feared that the entire army would be wiped out but betrayed the court and surrendered to Prince Zhu San as a second minister. Although it happened under the eyes of more than 9,000 Qing troops on the west bank of the Xiushui River. However, no Qing army's eyes could penetrate the heavy fog that suddenly appeared on the east bank of the Xiushui River and discover the truth hidden behind it.
They only saw smoke suddenly rising, covering a large area of land on the east bank of the broken Xiushui Bridge, and then there were balls of fire and bursts of roar. After the fire and roar, there was a shout of killing in Chaozhou dialect - pounce. Your mother!
When the smoke finally cleared, all that was left on the east bank of the Xiushui River were bloody corpses lying on the ground.
There is nothing else!
There are no enemies, no Prince Zhu San, and no Wu Sanwei, the number one martial artist in the world.
Of course, if the Qing army on the west bank of the Xiushui River had not been attracted by the sudden smoke, they would still have seen Wu Sanwei fall off his horse and be captured in the grass three or four hundred steps away from the river bank.
But the "fog of evil magic" is right in front of us, who else cares about a small martial arts champion?
So...the champion is gone!
"Ah, Ama, listen to me, you can't blame me for losing the battle this time. I was really careful, but there is really a magic trick on the part of Prince Zhu San! If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Jin, Nie Dutong, and Wang General Rong and Feng Sima..."
On the west bank of the Xiushui River, in a large tent in the middle of a large camp under construction, Shang Zhixiao was kneeling on the ground and explaining to his Amapingnan King Shang Kexi the reasons for the defeat. Although he had himself tied up, he also carried a few branches on his back to pretend to be thorns to plead guilty. But what he said was to excuse himself - it wasn't that he didn't work hard, it was because Zhu San had some evil tricks!
Nie Bao, the commander of the Pingnan vassal army, Wang Guodong, the commander-in-chief, and Fengmingshan of Tongzhi Chaozhou Prefecture were also kneeling there, but they were not tied up, but the tops on their heads were all taken off.
Jin Guang, Shang Kexi's most trusted military advisor, stood listlessly on the side.
When these four people heard Shang Zhixiao's words, they all wanted to explain to my answerable father, and at the same time, they also wanted to clean themselves.
The first one to speak was Fengmingshan. He said to Shang Kexi: "Your Majesty, the second prince is really not to blame for defeat this time. It's the one who looks like Guan Gong Tian Wang Zhu Tai is so powerful... He can defeat them all alone." The soldiers standing on the Xiushui Bridge are blocking our troops. Their courage is almost as brave as the real Guan Gong. He is simply the reincarnation of Guan Erye, and he can also do magic!"
"Nonsense!" Shang Kexi became even more annoyed when he heard this. He pointed at Fengming Mountain angrily and said, "Feng, do you think I can't kill you, an official of the imperial court? Someone..."
Sitting next to Shang Kexi, Liu Bingquan, the governor of Guangdong, who was anxious and sweating profusely, heard this and quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I have received a letter from the court a few days ago, and the emperor has sent Xue Zhangnan to investigate the forgery." Prince Zhu’s pseudo-original Confucianism... he will have to rely on Fengmingshan to assist him, so now is not the time to kill him."
Shang Kexi is a good servant. When he heard that the emperor still needed Fengming Mountain, he naturally couldn't kill him.
So Shang Ke happily and fiercely glared at Nie Bao and Wang Guodong - these two slaves can be killed, right? But I feel reluctant to kill two at once, so I’d better kill one first to relieve my hatred!
But who to kill?
Seeing Shang Kexi's vicious eyes, Nie Bao and Wang Guodong both trembled, and felt indescribable pain in their hearts. The two of them were so unjust... This time they sent out troops to serve others, and the command and decision-making were all taken care of by Shang Zhixiao and Jin Guang.
Now it's their turn to be beheaded? Is this fair? This is not fair!
The two people quickly went to see Shang Zhixiao and Jin Guang, but Shang Zhixiao was eager to take the blame. How could he dare to speak for these two people who were taking the blame?
As for Military Advisor Jin, he was looking down with a frown on his face, thinking about something - is there any evil magic on the third prince Zhu's side? Therefore, he did not notice the "little thing" that Nie Bao and Wang Guodong were about to be beheaded, nor did he see the two men's eyes asking for help.
Just when Nie Bao and Wang Guodong thought something bad was going to happen, Shang Zhixin suddenly spoke: "Amma, if the Third Prince Zhu and his family really have evil spells, then even if you kill Nie Bao and Wang Guodong, you won't be able to break their evil spells. !”
"Yes, yes, yes, your lord, the prince is right, you can't break the evil spell even if you kill us!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we both fought with you on the battlefield with swords and guns. We are good at charging into battle, but we are not good at chanting spells and casting spells!"
Nie Bao and Wang Guodong also quickly followed Shang Zhixin's words. Although the two monks are not the same person, it is important to save their lives!
"That's right... In the past, it was enough to be proficient in archery and horsemanship. Why do you still have to recite spells and cast spells now?"
"Yes, fighting now is just like the novel "The Legend of the Gods". A good bridge can be broken at any time. Once the bridge is broken, smoke will rise on the other side of the river, and there will be thunder and lightning. When the smoke dissipates, all our people will be dead. .....What else could this be if it wasn’t a magic spell?”
Interrupted by Shang Zhixin, Nie Bao and Wang Guodong started playing magic again. Shang Kexi also forgot about the murder - he is older now, his memory is not as good as before, and he is always a little careless.
Shang Kexi's eyes swept around the tent, and then fell on his military advisor Jin Guang, "Military advisor, what should we do?"
Jin Guang frowned and shook his head repeatedly: "The demon spell is not easy to break... I heard that using black dog blood and filthy things can break the demon spell, but it's hard to say whether it will work or not."
"Whether it works or not, use it first before talking!" Shang Kexi squinted his eyes and scanned the big tent, and found Feng Mingshan who was hiding in the corner pretending to be an invisible man, "Feng Sima!"
Sima is another name for Tongzhi, and Fengmingshan's official position is Tongzhi of Chaozhou Prefecture, so Shang Kexi calls him Feng Sima.
"I'm in a humble position, what do you want me to do?"
Shang Kexi said solemnly: "There is no official magistrate in Chaozhou Prefecture now, and you, a fellow magistrate, are the biggest magistrate. So the job of catching black dogs is up to you! You have to catch a thousand black dogs within ten days. It must be pure black... If you don’t catch enough, don’t blame me on my marching method!”
This is very difficult. Most Chinese Garden Dogs are yellow, and very few are black. Time is so tight, and if you don’t catch enough, you may have to behead them!
But how can Fengming Mountain dare to say "no" now? Hurry up and accept the gratifying military order, and then don’t stay in the big tent anymore. Hurry up and call the people below to catch the black dog!
After sending Fengming Mountain away, Shang Kexi glared at Nie Bao and Wang Guodong who were still kneeling, "Stop kneeling, go and stand!"
This means not killing!
Nie Bao and Wang Guodong breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to Shang Kexi quickly, and hid away.
Shang Ke looked at Guangdong Governor Liu Bingquan and Jin Guang with joy and a little helplessness, "Liu Fujun, military advisor, what should we do? This traitor is afraid that he really has evil magic, and we are all mortal..."
Liu Bingquan frowned and said: "This magic method is indeed troublesome. How about we retreat back to Guangzhou first and then make plans?"
He is the governor of Guangdong, and he has rules to protect his land! If the city of Guangzhou is gone, how can he continue to be the governor? Emperor Kangxi may not necessarily behead Shang Kexi when the time comes, but he, a slave with no soldiers in his hands, is still not allowed to go to Caishikou to "glorify"?
Jin Guang immediately raised an objection and said: "No, if there is a magic spell, let's find a way to defeat it. How can we retreat?" Our losses in the Xiushui River battle were not big, only six to seven hundred people, how can we retreat? And the fake Zhu The Third Prince retreated with all his troops after winning, which shows that the power of his spells is limited and cannot deal with so many of us!"
It turned out that after the victory, Prince Zhu took Wu Sanwei and the captured 200-300 green camp soldiers and retreated - he brought a total of 500 people, and now he has captured more than 200 prisoners and a martial arts champion. It's no good if we don't retreat. Those prisoners alone need a lot of manpower to guard and reform them!
Therefore, part of Shang Kexi's army has already crossed the Xiushui River and has deployed defenses on the east bank of the Xiushui River.
Jin Guang said again: "And as soon as we retreat, Chaozhou will definitely be swept away by the Third Prince Zhu. Maybe even Jiaying Prefecture and Zhangzhou will be captured by the Third Prince Zhu, Qiu Hui and Zheng Jing!"
In addition, we have been preparing for this dispatch for two or three months, and the amount of grain, grass and military equipment stored in Mianhu Village alone is countless. The army also carried twenty or thirty red cannons! If we retreat, all these things will have to be discarded.
Besides, the city of Guangzhou has strong walls, sufficient reserves, and a large number of defenders. The two old generals Shang are both prudent and good defenders. It is impossible for the fake Zhu San Taisun to break Guangzhou in a short time..."
He only said half of his last words, and the other half was that if Zhu San Taisun really had the magic to destroy the city, it would be too late to rush back.
Of course Shang Kexi doesn't want to retreat, because he has no retreat at all!
If he retreats, King Pingnan will definitely be gone, and King Pingxi may not be fooled either.
So he asked Jin Guangdao: "Military advisor, how should I break this evil spell?"
Jin Guang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Chaozhou is not far from Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi and Southern Shaolin in Fujian. If we can invite the Taoists from Longhu Mountain and the eminent monks from Southern Shaolin, we can definitely break the evil hereticism of Prince Zhu San." !”
"Okay!" Shang Kexi nodded heavily, "That's it!" He thought for a while and then said: "Xiushui River is only twenty miles away from Jieyang County. And there is no dangerous place where Prince Zhu San can set up an ambush. , we worked step by step, and we drove to Jieyang City in two or three days.
We can first build a stronghold under Jieyang City to firmly guard Jieyang and prevent Prince Zhu San's people from sweeping Chaozhou. Then when the Longhu Mountain Taoist and the eminent monks from Southern Shaolin arrive, they can break into the city and capture the thieves!
As for Guangzhou City... I answer the question! "
Shang Ke named Shang Zhixin happily, and then said to him: "You have worked hard to bring 800 cavalry with Nie Bao, Wang Guodong, and Li Tianzhi to return to Guangzhou to support Guangzhou. There must be no mistake!"
