Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Kui put his big hand into his arms and dug around, his expression gradually becoming stiff.
"Brother Tieniu, did you lose it?" Niu Gao's eyes widened and he said in shock, "I said I would put it in my arms, but you wanted to take it away and keep it."
"Fart!" Li Kui said angrily as he touched it: "I am the senior brother and you are the junior brother, so naturally I will keep the baby... Hey, could it be that a thief touched it?"
When Shi Qian heard this, he quickly raised his hands to show his innocence.
Cao Cao comforted him: "Don't be anxious, look for it carefully. If it's not there, it probably just fell into the water."
Ma Ling opened his mouth blankly, his face full of nervousness. If this treasure was lost, he would die of agony.
While he was talking, Li Kui's hand had already touched his belly and penetrated into his belt. He had his belly drawn in, his waist bent, and his legs bent in a very unbearable posture.
Niu Gao saw it and smiled and said: "Is it possible that I lost my treasure and I want to use my own treasure to compensate?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Kui's face suddenly became happy: "Ah, what a bastard, he actually slipped here."
As he spoke, he twitched his hand and opened his palm, only to see an earth-yellow ball, as big as a chicken egg, completely round. Looking past it, the yellow color of the ball changed in shades, and it seemed like there were countless ups and downs of mountains.
Li Kui blew off two curved black hairs and handed them to Ma Ling happily: "This egg is slippery and rolling around. Fortunately, I didn't lose it. Master said you know how to use it."
"Ah ah ah, it's actually a soil spirit bead!" After seeing the appearance of the yellow bead, Ma Ling's originally disgusted expression instantly turned into intoxication. He took it in his hand and stared at it, almost on the verge of tears, trembling. The voice said: "Earth and metal are in harmony with each other. With this treasure, Ma's way will be fulfilled!"
As he spoke, he knelt down, looked south, and prayed sincerely: "This junior has been given this treasure by the True Immortal. If he makes any progress in the future, it will be all thanks to the kindness of his seniors." After saying this, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Cao Cao and others did not understand these techniques, but seeing Ma Ling's behavior, they naturally guessed that this was a very important treasure, even higher than the magic weapons of Niu Gao and Li Kui.
Liu Yanqing asked curiously: "General Ma, your Brick Technique is a rare skill. Is this little pearl even better than the Brick Technique?"
Ma Ling smiled brightly and said: "To be fair to the old general, the Golden Brick Method is just a small method of external objects. However, this spiritual bead is actually a rare treasure in the world. Ma has obtained this treasure, which is enough to become the foundation of enlightenment. As for the It has many uses. When it comes to the battlefield, the old general will see what Ma can do."
Bian Xiang suddenly said: "Shenjuzi, if this treasure is so extravagant, can you possibly defeat Master Qiao now?"
Ma Ling's expression became stern after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, Fang slowly said: "Qiao Guoshi's magic skills are far from his match in the past, but with such a treasure, even if I dare not say that I can't defeat him, I can at least compete with him." He fought hard."
Bian Xiang smiled and said: "If we can resist this person, the King of Jin will be defeated."
Liu Yanqing was surprised and said: "What kind of imperial master is this? Could it be that he is also a heretical person?"
Cao Cao said: "Old General Rong Zhen, this person Bian Xiang and others have told me that he is from Jingyuan, Shaanxi. His surname is Qiao and his last name is Lie. This man has been good at using guns and sticks since he was a child. Later, when he traveled to Kongtong, he met a stranger and taught him A master of illusions, he can summon the wind and rain, and also control the mist and soar into the clouds. People in the world call him the 'Illusion Demon Lord'."
Liu Yanqing was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It's such a good skill, but it's a pity that it helps the evildoers."
Cao Cao shook his head and sneered: "This is a joke. It turns out that this person once traveled to Anding Prefecture. It happened to be a severe drought there. There was no rain for five months. The government offered a reward of three thousand guans to pray for rain. , it was this 'Fantasy Demon Lord' who came to the altar, cast spells, and rain fell. Unexpectedly, when he was about to receive the reward, the treasurer deceived him that he was a foreigner with no foundation, and only took three ounces of money to send him away, which made this person angry. Angry, he punched and kicked the treasurer, and died of his injuries a few days later. The state official issued an official document to bring Qiao Lie to trial. Qiao Lie fled back to his hometown overnight, carried his mother on his back, and fled to the rivers and lakes, where he made a dharma call. Qiao Daoqing got acquainted with Tian Hu by chance. Tian Hu was amazed by his Taoist skills and named him the Inspired Master of Protecting the Country, Military Advisor and Prime Minister, and treated him as a national advisor."
Du Bo, Yuan Lang and others couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "Three thousand guans were rewarded for praying for rain. It was clear that the rain came, but only three guans were given. If it were us, even the state official would be beaten to death. This is not the case." flat."
Liu Yanqing also sighed and said: "How dare that little treasurer to be so greedy for ink? Most of the money from ink must have gone to state officials. Alas, the imperial court is full of herdsmen like this. As for the rising flames of war."
But Li Kui frowned and said: "This guy named Qiao must be the monster I dreamed of! When I see him, I will chop him in half with an ax first, so that he can't harm my brother."
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Cao Cao also laughed. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he thought to himself: That's not right! Bian Xiang told me long ago that among the remaining Jin thieves, this "Huan Demon Lord" was the most extravagant. We went all the way up the river, and there was nothing the rebels could do. Naturally, we quickly retaliated against Tian Hu. Since Qiao Daoqing had The ability to stir up wind and rain and create waves is of course not a problem. I had expected this part. I was planning to get off the boat before Qinyuan and kill the generals from the ground. Why in Li Kui's dream, I was so obsessed with the demon? hands and feet?
He pulled Liu Yanqing over and mentioned this idea. Liu Yanqing also became serious. After thinking for a while, he guessed: "If it is said in this way, it is nothing more than two situations, or there may be some changes that prevent us from taking the risk." The boat is on its way; or maybe that guy killed me in advance and waited for a surprise!"
Cao Cao said: "It must be so! However, we are waiting on the water, and the news is different. What can happen? According to the general, I am afraid that the latter is the majority. Now, although Li Kui and others are helping, we must be careful."
He immediately ordered the navy generals to observe carefully day and night and report if there is anything wrong.
In another two days, the fleet passed Jincheng and sailed into the Taiyue Mountains.
In the topography of Jinzhong, three mountain ranges form a Sichuan character from north to south, with Luliang on the left, Taihang on the right, and Taiyue in the middle. A stream of Qinshui runs right through the middle of the Taiyue Mountains, and boats can sail along it. There are high mountains on both sides, and in the middle canyon is a winding line of clear water, which rises and falls with the mountains, either quickly or slowly.
Cao Cao watched the situation on the deck for a long time, and suddenly realized something. He quickly called Wen Renshi Chong and Zhang Heng, and told them not to rush on their way, but to park for two more hours every day and send people ashore to cut down trees. The whole army worked together and made all the wooden sticks into long and short wooden sticks. They also picked wild vines and twisted them into arm-thick ropes. They were all put on the boat for later use.
We continued like this for another five or six days, but nothing happened. The planks and ropes on the boat were already piled up like a mountain. When we were about to reach Hechuan County, I heard that Renshi Chong was coming in a hurry. With a look of admiration on his face, he reported: "Brother really has a wonderful plan. , I see that the water level is much lower today, and there are only a few boats that can sail, and most of them are thieves."
For several days, Cao Cao had been on guard. When he heard this, he perked up and immediately ordered the fleet to hold off. He went to the deck and took a look. The riverbeds on both sides were indeed exposed. Looking at those exposed parts, the soil was moist. It was obvious that the water level had only increased recently. lowered.
Cao Cao sneered and said: "That's it! The thieves must have built a dam in front to block the water of the river. When my fleet arrives, they will release the water. Qiao Daoqing took advantage of the situation and made waves."
Looking to both sides, I saw towering mountains and thousands of cliffs, but it was impossible to get ashore. I knew that the enemy must have calculated the terrain here accurately. Once the boat capsized, there was little chance of escape.
After Liu Yanqing heard the news, he came out to take a look, nodded and said with a smile: "As expected, you expected everything, and now you can do something about it."
Cao Cao laughed and ordered the wooden planks, sticks, tent ropes, etc. that had been saved over the years to be connected in series with wooden planks in the order of building ships in front and rowing boats in the back. Fasten with rattan ropes to connect all the ships in one place.
Liu Yanqing looked at it with great interest, then suddenly laughed and said: "I heard that Cao Mengde used iron ropes to form a chain boat during the battle in Chibi. Unexpectedly, there was a southeast wind in winter and he was defeated by fire. Today you follow his old advice and Aren't you afraid of being burned by the enemy?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "There is no high or low plan, and it is a good plan if it is used at the right time. Today is a southwest wind. We are traveling from south to north. How can he burn it? Besides, why don't you see that I don't use the iron rope? It's really urgent. , the big ax cuts off the vine ropes, and the fleet frees itself."
Liu Yanqing saw that he was thoughtful and admired him even more, but he didn't know that in his previous life, Cao Cao was defeated by a chain boat on the Yangtze River, which made it difficult to achieve hegemony. Now that he repeated this plan, the joy in his heart was beyond what others could imagine.
By the afternoon, all ships, big and small, were connected. At this time, the southwest wind was quite strong. Cao Cao ordered the ships to set sails and move forward, and the wheels were also set up, and they started to move forward like galloping horses.
After walking forward for more than an hour, he suddenly heard a sound like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Cao Cao laughed loudly and shouted: "We've got it all!"
In the blink of an eye, the silver waves were seen crashing into the canyon like a mountain, rushing onto the fleet, splashing huge waves several feet high.
The Song army couldn't help but turn pale and horrified when they saw such a force of water. If Cao Cao had not used this strategy, in such a canyon and with such force of water, not to mention those fast boats and gondolas, even the big boats would have been capsized. Who can climb such a steep cliff? I'm afraid that except for a few who have excellent water properties, the rest will all be fish and turtles.
However, the situation is different now. Hundreds of boats are all tied up like rice dumplings with giant trees and ancient vines. They are a huge whole and have strong roofs carrying huge waves in front. Although they are inevitably pushed back by the water, But it is still as stable as a rock, with no danger of overturning.
The Jin army did not know how many days the water had been stored, but when it was released, it was just a big wave, and it disappeared after a short time, but the water level was more than twice as high as before.
Cao Cao stood high on the third floor of the ship, high-spirited and shouted: "Go forward, go forward, kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
Seeing the flood, all the troops were helpless. Their morale was greatly boosted. They shouted in unison, roared and charged forward.
Not long after, more than a dozen large and small boats and hundreds of rafts floated down the upper reaches. They were the navy troops temporarily formed by the Jinzhong Army. Many of them were covered in mud and water and panting. However, it took a lot of effort to destroy the dam and release the water. .
At this moment, seeing that the Song Army fleet was safe and sound, they couldn't help but exclaim. The Jin Army's largest ship was only half the size of the Song Army's tower ship. There was a red Luobao cover propped on the bow, and six generals and generals were surrounded by it. A gentleman.
This gentleman's appearance and attire are all extraordinary: he wears a purple and gold fishtail Taoist crown inlaid with treasures, a flaming brocade crane cloak with a soap edge, a variegated silk sash tied around his waist, and a Kunlan sword in his hand. He has blue eyebrows, double eyes, a square beard and a wide mouth. He has a Taoist aura and does not lose the aura of a heroic hero. However, at this moment, he is dumbfounded and seems to be in disbelief.
Cao Cao took one look at it and knew that there was no one else except Qiao Daoqing, the "Illusion Demon Lord". He immediately pointed his hand and shouted: "'Illusion Demon Lord', it is said in the world that you are knowledgeable in magic, but unexpectedly your tactics are also extraordinary. , Since ancient times, the poison of using tactics is nothing more than water and fire. You are a big water, but it is also a rare good trick. It is a pity that you met us, haha, I will teach you to waste a trick."
Although Qiao Daoqing was a student of Taoism, he was fierce. Hearing this, he remembered the hard work of building dams and storing water. He suddenly became angry and pointed: "General Song, don't be arrogant. I won't teach you how to transform into a fish and a turtle today, and you won't show off." My ‘Fantasy Demon Lord’ ability!”
After saying something in his mouth, he suddenly pointed the sword to the north and shouted: "Quick!" In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and black air was like clouds, sweeping in from the north and disappearing in an instant. Where is the boat in Jinzhong? The black air Rolling in front of the Song Army fleet, there was a sudden loud sound and turned into boundless water. I was originally in the canyon of Taiyue Mountain, but now there are no mountains or ridges. The white waves are all around, and it seems to have moved everyone away. It's like being in the eastern sea, and there's not even a hint of land in sight.
Everyone in the Song army was shocked. Li Kui was so bold and they couldn't help but scream: "Ah, this bird mage is more ferocious than Fan Rui. He actually exiled a fleet as big as ours into the sea. He didn't have to fight. Just wait until I starve to death."
Niu Gao shouted: "Brother Tieniu, didn't you say that you have a method that can defeat the evil spirit? Why not use it to save everyone's lives?"
Hearing this, Li Kui cheered up and said, "Let me give it a try!" With one tooth, he bit his own finger and drew blood - this was the method taught by Cao Cao when he fought against Fan Rui at Mangdang Mountain. However, with the blood bullets flying around and the vast sea around them, there was no change at all.
Li Kui had no choice but to put his fingers in his mouth, shook his head and said: "It's hard to break, it's hard to break."
Ma Ling sighed: "This is the Samadhi Divine Water Technique. A drop of water can transform a lake. With Qiao Guoshi's magical power, borrowing the power of Qinshui, it can transform into a vast ocean. If it hadn't been for this treasure sent by Brother Tieniu, I'm afraid we would have lost it." I'm going to die trapped here."
Cao Cao laughed after hearing this and said, "So, the magic weapon that Immortal Bao gave you can defeat his technique?"
Ma Ling nodded, showing a hint of pride: "Although I am far inferior to him, on the one hand, using earth to overcome water is the principle of the five elements of biochemistry, and on the other hand, the spiritual power of this earth spirit bead is infinite and cannot be matched by human beings."
After saying that, he took out the earth spirit bead, felt the movement of spiritual power in it, murmured a few mantras in his mouth, and threw the spirit bead into the air. Immediately, endless warm light emanated from the bead, and wherever it shined, The white waves suddenly turned into loess, and in just a few blinks, where was the sea? Everyone was clearly still in the Qinshui, and not far away was the fleet led by Qiao Daoqing. They had used the Samadhi Divine Water method to cover up the Song army's ears and eyes, and were approaching them.
Ma Ling put away the bead and shouted with great dignity: "Master Qiao, your spell has been broken by me. I'm so incompetent, but I want to treat you to a gold brick!"
Qiao Daoqing was shocked and said: "My method is not trivial. It's not like I don't know Ma Ling's abilities. He can't break my method even if he practices for thirty years. But who is this extravagant fellow who secretly opposes me?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw where Ma Ling raised his hand, and a golden light came straight to his head.
There is a branch of teaching: In the past, the east wind carried blazing fire, but now the sails are blowing torrents. It's still the old trick to defeat all thieves and chieftains' schemes.
