Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 69

Luodu of Jin State is located on the south bank of Ruihe River. After 120 years, the city wall has been continuously strengthened. Over the long years, it has become majestic and upright, just like a fairy palace standing in the world. After dying in the palace, the royal family Qingwang Gongsunli ordered 7000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou to rush to Luozhou overnight.

Before reaching the capital, he received news that another brother, Gongsun Lun, had ascended the throne. He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the other party's foundation was not stable, and enter Luodu in the name of King Qin, but before he could arrange it, the north had [-] cavalry, [-] The infantry captured Dingzhou and turned around to approach Qizhou.

Under the crisis of losing his family and country, King Qing had no choice but to accept the new emperor's order to cross the Rui River with the rest of the emperor brothers who rushed over, set up a line of defense on the north bank, and started a half-month confrontation with the Yuejie people.

However, according to the new news, [-] cavalry from Yuejie crossed Qizhou, crossed the river directly in the lower reaches of the Ruihe River, and took a roundabout way to go straight to Luodu.

When the news spread to the capital, the government and the public were shaken immediately, and the people in the city were in panic. Luodu now only has more than 2 soldiers and horses, most of them are infantry. If they defend the city, they will not fall. The army lost its logistical supply.

With [-] soldiers and horses, the food consumed in a day is incalculable, and the local towns can't support it.

After discussing with the Chinese and military officials in the court, the new emperor used his seal to dispatch fast horses to the land of Lianglong, hoping to draw some soldiers and horses from there. The situation is stable, and it will be recaptured.

On the other hand, Sima Ying, the right general, was named the governor of Gyeonggi, and he led [-] troops from the headquarters plus [-] holy troops to meet the enemy. , Waiting for Lianglong soldiers to come to help.

Fifteen thousand and [-] cavalry were delayed, and they were still in the Guanzhong Plain. The governor, Sima Ying, who was brought up temporarily, had the heart to scold his mother.

In the past few days, they have been constantly sending scouts and carrying out harassing strategies with small groups of troops, but the other party has the idea of ​​blitzing Luodu, ignoring the harassment of the small group of Jin troops at all, and fighting all the way to support the war, in the end. Advance at a fast speed.

Now on the seventh day, the Yuejie cavalry has arrived in the northwest of Hezhou, only four hundred miles away from Luodu, and the opponent even divided into several groups and entered the hinterland of Hezhou.

The battle reports that kept coming in were handed to Sima Ying like snowflakes. These barbarian cavalry did not attack the city, but just slaughtered as many villages as possible.

"These murderous people are nothing more than breaking our idea of ​​recruiting soldiers from the people."

In the big tent, Sima Ying Jinjia Baodao, with a straight face, stroking his short beard on his chin, stared straight at the route of several enemy cavalry on the map, "The only plan is to strengthen the road leading to Luodu. The main way is to set up an urn here."

A general in the tent shook his head and said:

"The time is too short. Even if young and strong laborers are recruited, it is impossible to build a city in a few days."

Sima Ying pursed his lips, and couldn't help looking at the figure in Taoist robes.

"This Daoist Qingxu, if you want to build a city, I don't know if your sect can help you with magic?"

All the generals in the tent looked at the man sitting upright in the corner following the eyes of the governor. But the long beard and thick beard show a heroic spirit.

The generals naturally knew each other. The Taoist priest named Qing Xu was one of the several priests who came to Luodu from the Tianshi Mansion. I heard that he was also one of the supervisors of the Tianshi Mansion. In order to prevent Yue Jie army priest.

Qing Xu thought about it carefully and sighed.

"Building a city out of thin air is not easy. But it is not impossible. If you invite several other senior brothers from Luodu to cast their own spells, you can build a simple city with local materials. I am afraid that it will consume too much mana. Yue Jie The barbarian's priest appears, I don't have enough mana to deal with it."

"Report!"

While speaking, the words of a messenger suddenly came from outside the tent, and the latter stepped into the tent quickly: "Report to the Governor, the scouts sent have returned to the camp, and it is only news of investigation..."

Sima Ying frowned when he heard his tone.

"how?"

"The news is a bit strange. Thousands of cavalry were found in Huangni Town, but when our people arrived there... those barbarians were all dead."

"died?"

Not only Sima Ying stood up in a daze, but all the generals in the tent were in disbelief, someone hurriedly said: "Go and call a scout."

After the messenger left, there was a sudden commotion in the tent. It was almost impossible to kill thousands of cavalry, except in a narrow valley, but here is almost flat, with a few hills at most. The enemy can also quickly escape from the battlefield with their horses.

The Taoist priest Qingxu on the side closed his eyes and did not speak. He didn't understand the battlefield, so he didn't get involved.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, the scout who came was the one who had been to Huangni Town, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he folded his fists and half knelt down.

"I pay homage to the chief governor, all generals!"

Sima Ying walked back and forth with his hands behind his hands, and glanced at him: "Tell me the whole thing, don't miss any details."

As a scout, it was his duty to report back the news, so he told the story according to what he saw after arriving in the town. When the public heard the many decapitated corpses in the Yuejie camp, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. On the battlefield, Who has time to just chop off their heads?
But when the scouts said that they left the camp and followed the horseshoe prints to the wilderness in the northwest, all the Yuejie Hu people who fled the camp turned into bones, and there was a sound of breathing in the tent, and they couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest Qingxu.

The latter slowly opened his eyes with a flat voice.

"Is the armor on those bones intact? Are the wounds smooth on the decapitated corpse?"

"The armor of the Yue people in the wilderness is intact, not even a piece of cloth is torn. But the barbarian in the camp, I have carefully checked the wounds, and the wounds are extremely smooth, even more neat than the execution ground."

"Well, let's go down."

Qingxu nodded, and let the scout exit the big tent, Sima Ying, who was upright beside him, couldn't help but look at him: "Master Daoist, do you have an idea?"

The Taoist nodded again, and said softly: "Those savages died of evil methods, and the bones on the field should be the Black Insect Curse, a very cruel kind of heresy. It may not be effective against cultivators, but it can be used against ordinary people. A person is just a killing. As for the technique of decapitation, the poor dare not speak nonsense, there are many kinds of other techniques, or there may be a few."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a sect or not, as long as he can kill more people." Sima Ying felt a sense of comfort in his heart. The loss of five thousand cavalry, for him, the pressure was reduced by a bit, and he clapped excitedly Thigh: "If that person wants to kill barbarians, I will help him from the side... Uh, Daoist, why are you a little displeased?"

"Pindao is not displeased, but worried. Governor, don't be too happy too early. That person's behavior is vicious, too harmful to the harmony of nature, and it is extremely detrimental to practice. Even the famous people in ordinary cultivators will not be like him. Such wanton indulgence of the law is really strange."

Sima Ying narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Daoist is too worried. What if he came here just to kill Hun?"

"Captain Wuha, you are not a practitioner, so you don't know the details." Qingxu saw that he was a little displeased, smiled, and got up with a flick of his sleeves: "The qi in the world is balanced by the public scale of heaven and earth. Once it is out of balance, it will be bad for the world. Yes, that's why people from the Tianshi Mansion went down to help the court deal with the priests in the Yuejie army.

And if this person kills like this, the more evil obstacles he will bear, the entanglement of cause and effect will breed demons, and once he becomes a demon, it will be the fruit of evil, and it will be even more detrimental to the people of the world. "

"How will the priest do it?"

"I don't know, what he is doing right now is a good thing for the country, and the poor can only persuade one or two."

Qing Xu arched his hands, then cupped his fists at the general in the tent, and stepped out of the tent with his sleeves behind him.Sima Ying looked at the leaving back, laughed suddenly, and sat behind the desk, thinking about the news reported by the scouts.

"If 5000 people say they will be killed, they will be killed... Tsk tsk, what a ruthless person."

……

As the sun rose above the clouds, the person Qing Xu and Sima Ying had mentioned looked at the Taotao Rui River at this moment, and the rushing waves rolled up the water vapor on his face, which felt icy cold.

Chen Yuan took the little girl for a day and finally arrived at the South Bank.

"Big Brother, what are you doing here?" The little girl was a little cold from the river wind, watching the high river and the rolling waves, her face turned pale with fright.

Chen Yuan glanced around, listened to the girl's words, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm looking for an opportunity to close this deal in one go."

Under the cuffs, he held his hands tightly, and the feeling of thirst for blood came again.
