"Chief soldier, there is no water in the city, what should we do?"
"Let me think about it!"
There were ravines outside the city. There was no water inside the city, but in the ravines outside the city, there was inexhaustible living water.
Zhang Beihai had never thought of sending soldiers out of the city to fetch water.
However, on the other side of the huge ravine, there was a group of thousands of soldiers holding bows and arrows and pushing cannons.
Do nothing, just stay by the water, wait for them to come to get water, and then shoot them to death with a volley of arrows!
As long as those who go out to fetch water will not return to the city alive, even if Zhang Beihai wants to send seven or eight thousand people out, just to fetch water!
Although the opponent only has a thousand-man team, they are already prepared, and the ravine with water is not far from the city gate. When his seven or eight thousand people get out of the city gate, they can't set up a formation at all, and they can only let the opponent slaughter.
So it's not an opponent at all, it's just a one-sided massacre!
This makes Zhang Beihai very frustrated!
After sacrificing hundreds of men and horses, Zhang Beihai no longer asked people to go out to fetch water. It was impossible to fetch water!
I can only hide in the city and dare not make any moves!
However, I don’t know how many homing pigeons have flown to the capital in search of help!
"It's so generous!"
Zhang Beihai lamented.
The general comforted him: "It's not that we are incompetent, but it's really because this animal borrowed the power of the gods and couldn't arrange its troops in an upright manner. It's really hateful!"
Unexpectedly, Qianliang Sima snorted from the side: "It's too early to find reasons!
I just never thought that Dong Tianbao would actually lead his own team of a thousand people to surrender to Zuo Yun!
Whether Zuo Yun knows how to fight is not yet known, but Dong Tianbao's men are extremely ferocious!
Even if there are only a thousand people, they can still withstand many times the troops led by other battalion officers!
He is really a powerful general!
This time, on the battlefield, the gods helped change the terrain and the flow of water, which gave them an advantageous location.
We have been thirsty for water for two days. Although we still have enough to survive, the water for the horses is gone.
Our morale has plummeted, and our humanity has been lost!
As for Tianshi, after thinking about it, the other party still has more.
The opponent has the right time, place and people, so what can we use to fight against him?
Do you have the same divine help as the other party, or..."
God help me!
Zhang Beihai recalled that on the top of the city, the King of Jinhua Mansion fell from the top of the city into the city. He was so painful that he rolled on the ground and was covered in dust. He knew that these ghosts and gods were actually unreliable.
The other party obviously has the means to restrain these ghosts and gods!
Therefore, we can only ask the court for help!
The flying pigeon was so fast that it didn’t take a day for the capital to receive Zhang Beihai’s letter asking for help!
Zhang Beihai's letter for help did not enter the Imperial Study Room, but directly entered the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
"absurd!"
"Zhang Beihai held seven to eight thousand elite soldiers and horses, but when the enemy surrounded the county town with more than a thousand people, he sent flying pigeons to ask for help!
What does the land and mountain gods say about changing the topography?
It also cut off the water veins in the city, which is simply unheard of!
Imperial Preceptor, in my opinion, this seems to be Zhang Beihai's ridiculous reason to shirk responsibility!
The most ridiculous thing in the world! "
The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is very large, as big as the Little Jinluan Palace, and is filled with civil and military officials.
The Imperial Preceptor sitting in the main seat does not look like an Imperial Preceptor at this moment, but rather looks a bit like an emperor.
At this moment, the person speaking was the Minister of Rites.
This is a military matter.
Why do you say this is the Minister of Rites?
Because the Minister of War is not here, he went north, apparently to contact the border troops to make trouble.
Therefore, among the hustle and bustle, the loudest speaker is the Minister of Rites, because the affairs of the gods of heaven and earth in the human world are under the control of the Ministry of Rites!
As for the land gods, that is, the land gods, mountain gods, etc. who surrendered to the rebellious Zuo Yun, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Rites Yamen.
At this time, he was speaking righteously and had no idea that his identity was actually rations!
Perhaps when one day he is really hollowed out by the centipede spirit, at that moment he will regret taking the initiative to seek refuge with this strange national master!
Cihang Pudu had already received the news from the city emperors before the carrier pigeon arrived. The human king who had not returned to his throne seemed to be very powerful!
Just a peek made a state capital city emperor miserable, not only majestic but also domineering!
However, if I don't strangle you to death while you are weak before you return to your throne, how can I wait for you to become a powerful human king and slightly rectify the world, and once again teach the rules and principles of the human race to the gods and Buddhas in the sky?
After becoming a god, there will be no king. This is the consensus of heaven and earth!
When the civil and military officials were arguing about whether the news that Zuo Yun used the earth and mountain gods to change the topography and water veins was true or false, he had already confirmed that the other party did have this ability.
Let the mountain gods and the land change the terrain to help the army attack or restrain the enemy. This method that has not been used for thousands of years seems to be so logical in the hands of the human king!
This is how Zhang Beihai fell into a disadvantage.
As for how to solve this problem?
"Okay, you guys should leave now, I'll figure out how to resolve this matter!"
To Cihang Pudu, all the civil and military officials are just reserved rations. If they don't eat it now and treat them well, it doesn't mean they won't eat it in the future!
To put it bluntly!
These are nothing but carriers of luck, stepping stones to destiny, reserved rations, and actionable food!
So whether they are here or not is just a show!
What matters is the Emperor!
Also, the Buddhism behind you!
After all the civil and military officials retreated, Cihang Pudu burned incense and enshrined it under a strange thousand-armed Buddha statue!
"Disciple Cihang Pudu, please ask the Buddha for help..."
I don't know when the Buddha statue turned into a lifelike clay-wood sculpture. At this moment, he opened his eyes slightly and opened his lips lightly: "Say it!"
“That human king can actually drive the gods to change the terrain and use it for war!
The general soldiers sent by the imperial court led several times the number of men and horses of the opponent, but they were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back and could only retreat to the city to ask for help.
Therefore, now the disciple is looking for a way to break the situation! "
is it hard?
It's not difficult to say, but in fact it's really not difficult. It's just a fight between a few thousand people, but at most tens of thousands!
so what?
For a thousand-year-old demon, they have seen many such grand scenes!
However, since ancient times, the place where the two armies are fighting has been filled with evil spirits. Whether it is demons, ghosts, gods or Buddhas, they must stay away!
They usually don't pay attention to tens of thousands of people, but if these tens of thousands of people are sergeants, and they are sergeants who can gather into formation, then it's a different matter!
Therefore, when the two armies are fighting, there are very few demons, ghosts, gods or Buddhas appearing!
This is a humane rule!
There is no room in the sky for gods and Buddhas not to speak!
So despite the fact that there are only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people in a war, this is no longer something that gods, Buddhas or demons can interfere with.
In the battle of the human army, only the troops of the human court can participate. To put it simply, only the human race can participate!
】
“Gods and Buddhas must not interfere in human affairs, this is the rule of humanity.
Now, since the Human King has broken this rule, it gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it.
There are so many caves and heavens in the three mountains, five mountains, and the Thirty-three Heavens, you can go and ask for them.
Provided that
There is a pardon from the court! "
After the Buddha statue softly said the last and most critical words, it lost its spirituality again!
Cihang Pudu knew that the Venerable was worried about missing the line. After all, the ancestors of the human race who guarded the rules of the world were not vegetarians!
The imperial court's pardon order was a trick that could be played within the rules of the human race, and His Holiness had already pointed out the clear path for him.
"Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty!"
In the imperial city, the imperial study.
The emperor sat alone, looking at the memorial, but his mind wandered to nowhere.
"The Imperial Master has arrived..."
The emperor was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't even say a word of communication and went straight in. It was obvious that he didn't take himself seriously, but he couldn't do anything about him.
Such frustration!
It’s so uncomfortable!
But what can be done?
"Is the Imperial Master here?"
He could only laugh and say hello with a stiff face.
Cihang Pudu bowed slightly and saluted him. He didn't smile, but everything was as usual: "Your Majesty, this poor monk came to the palace to ask for a wish."
The emperor was stunned. None of the civil and military officials came to court with him. What does it matter whether he takes the decree or not?
However, when he saw the decree handed over by Cihang Pudu for him to seal, he realized that it would only be effective if he had to seal it himself.
[The emperor was sent to heaven to carry his fortune, and the edict said:
I heard that there are traitors in the world who are colluding with some ghosts and gods to plot rebellion. Now when the imperial soldiers and horses are attacking, the rebels have the help of ghosts and gods, making it difficult for the imperial soldiers and horses to advance!
The majesty of the imperial court is irreversible, and the country will inevitably lose its power, so it is necessary to take this strategy.
Order: The Imperial Master invites the enlightened masters from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, as well as the gods and Buddhas in heaven and earth to help the army fight against rebellion!
Admire this! 】
Looking at the decree drawn up by the imperial master, the emperor understood that it seemed that the troops sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebels had suffered a great defeat, and it might have been caused by the attack on the imperial troops and horses led by the human king and the ghosts and gods.
The emperor didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this moment!
After all, it was the imperial troops and horses that suffered the loss, so logically speaking, he should feel sad.
However, the soldiers and horses sent by the Imperial Guard were no longer under his control, and they could not even be regarded as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
This seems to have nothing to do with me!
However, the emperor knew that he had to seal the seal today, even if he didn't seal it!
Since the Imperial Master came to him with this decree and asked him to seal it, he had only one choice.
Cihang Pudu watched the emperor put the big seal on the decree with his own hands, then put it away with satisfaction, then bowed slightly, said goodbye and left.
The emperor looked at the retreating figure of the Imperial Master and sighed, but what could he do?
Cihang Pudu summoned a cloud, stood on it, and headed towards Mount Wutai!
Chen Yun didn't know all this.
Because he is receiving prisoners.
However, he was not familiar with this matter. Fortunately, Old Man Zuo had served as a Qianhu official when he retired from the army and had a lot of experience.
Zuo Qianhu and Dong Tianbao were both Qianhu officials, commanding large armies, and they were familiar with taking prisoners.
Zhang Beihai has run away!
After being thirsty for three days in the city, there were more than 3,000 people in the city, plus 7,8,000 soldiers and 2,000 to 3,000 mules and horses. It was a miracle that they had been able to carry the city for three days without a drop of water.
Zhang Beihai's personal guards searched the city for a long time before they found enough drinking water to restore some of their strength, and then left quietly under the cover of night.
Abandoned a large number of soldiers and civilians!
Without drinking water for three days, a normal person can only collapse on the ground and lose all strength.
Of course, if you still want to save some strength, you can only use something to catch your urine and drink it.
Apparently, there weren't many such warriors in the city, maybe they didn't think of it.
Therefore, when Chen Yun led his troops into the city, he saw people lying on the ground!
"If we had allowed people to draw water at that time, maybe this wouldn't be the case, right?"
Fu Yuechi had never seen such a tragic situation, and he was overflowing with sympathy.
But her sister Fu Qingfeng stopped her from talking.
“Our troops are smaller than the other side’s, and Xianggong’s decision is the best way to reduce casualties on both sides.
Although the killing was a bit excessive when preventing the other party from getting water, compared to the battle between the two sides, the current result can be regarded as satisfactory to everyone! "
Wen Xi sighed, the little girl was still childish, she softly explained the little girl's confusion: "Now they are just thirsty and dehydrated!
As long as you drink water and recover for half a day, you'll be fine! "
Chen Yun had no time to pay attention to them. Women rarely participated in the war, and it was normal for them to be short-sighted.
So the thoughts of these naive little girls have nothing to do with him. At this moment, he is facing the trembling land god of Guobei County.
"Your Majesty, the little god has never offended me before, but the imperial troops suppressed me, so I had to deal with some errands.
Can you please spare me this time?
The little god is willing to exchange extremely important information for the immortality of the god! "
The land god is, to put it bluntly, a ghost god!
The reason why ghosts and gods can exist in the world forever is because they are blessed by gods, and gods are recognized by both the human world and the underworld.
Otherwise, ghosts also have a lifespan!
Unless you have the means and the skills to cultivate ghosts and immortals, or enter the underworld and the underworld.
Ghosts and gods who are accustomed to being gods, without the support of a god, are actually not much different from wandering ghosts, except that they are stronger.
This is why the land god of Guobei County begged for mercy because he wanted Chen Yun not to destroy his throne.
"Tell me?"
Chen Yun neither agreed nor refused. Under the curious eyes of Yan Chixia and others, he asked the land god to explain the information he had in detail.
Let's see what kind of information can give him the confidence to use it in exchange for his immortality?
"Zhang Beihai left these seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses to actually harm you!"
This short sentence aroused Chen Yun's curiosity: "Oh?
How to say?
Tell me in detail! "
The earth god kowtowed and said: "There are soldiers and horses in the city, people eat horses' chews, and they have eaten almost all the food and grass these days.
We are a small county and we don’t have much food reserves. How can we afford so many soldiers and horses?
In the past few days, it is said that the water supply in the city has been cut off. Even if the water supply is cut off, the food supply is almost running out!
The imperial court's baggage will never be sent again this time. He leaves you these seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, and three or four thousand people who no longer have a grain of food in their homes.
I want you to watch them starve to death!
Because he had received a reply from the court before leaving, all the large merchants' grain depots in the surrounding cities had been emptied out!
It cannot afford the daily consumption of ten thousand people!
Even if you want to buy it, there is no place to buy it!
Even if you steal, there is no place to steal!
Before he left, he said, if among these tens of thousands, three or four thousand starve to death in your hands...
See if these humane rules will help you! "
