Red Cloud: Establishing Mahayana Buddhism as a Holy Spirit

Chapter 209

On an auspicious day, sacrifice the treasure flag, kill cattle and horses, order Lu Xiong on the stage to resign as king of Shang, and set off cannons to raise troops.

At this time, in the late summer and early autumn, the weather was scorching hot, and a hundred thousand mighty merchant armies and armored armies went straight to Xiqi.

Although Lu Xiong, a veteran with a beard and a handsome head, is old, if he marches and fights in a single round, he can still be ranked among the top ten generals among the great merchants.

The army had already passed the four major passes of Tongguan, Lintong, Chuanyun, and Jiepai. They were resting at the fifth pass, also known as Sishui Pass, at night, and the barracks were brightly lit.

In the command camp, Lu Xiong stood up respectfully, cupped his fists and said in a low voice, "General Lu Xiong of the Left Army pays his respects to the State Teacher."

It turned out that there was a breeze in the tent, and Da Shang's current imperial advisor Qingyun Daoist appeared in the tent, Lu Xiong was only a general of the left army, so naturally he treated the imperial advisor like a confidant of the current king with great courtesy.

"Old General, Your Majesty has an order to secretly replace soldiers and horses at Sishui Pass tonight. This is an imperial decree. General, please take a look."

After receiving the imperial decree respectfully, the old general Lu Xiong looked at it carefully, but raised his head with a frowning and puzzled face, looked at the national teacher with a surprised face and clasped his fists and said, "This! What does your majesty mean by this?"

"My big merchant's [-] elite army is well removed, why should I replace it with this group of captive soldiers ruled by princes from all over the country?"

Even Lu Xiong, who is a veteran on the battlefield, is really confused at this moment. There is no reason why he should use a motley army instead of an elite army.

Looking at the doubts on Lu Xiong's face, Qing Yun narrowed his eyes and said softly: "The old general knows that the [-] troops replaced are not only prisoners, but also slaves."

"What!" Lu Xiong was even more shocked when he heard that, and blurted out: "Master, the last general has never offended you, why did you want to kill me!"

If he thought he was a prisoner at first and was a little upset, then he was really shocked at this moment. What are slave soldiers?
Seeing Lu Xiong's shocked and unbelievable expression, Qingyun squinted his eyes and said in a concentrated voice: "Old general, do you know why Xiqi has the courage to attack the king? Do you know where this confidence comes from?"

Lu Xiong fell silent, angry in his heart, more still puzzled, but his years of military career made him suppress it.

"Old general, the enemy that Da Shang is facing this time is not the so-called Xiqi, but the fairy god behind Xiqi Jifa. That Jiang Ziya was originally a disciple of Yuxu Palace, and taught."

Shocking secrets slowly echoed in the commander's tent. After hearing all this, Lu Xiong became more angry after being shocked, and finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master, what do you mean?"

"Xiqi's army is unstable, this is the first battle, especially Jiang Ziya's battle, according to the news from our people from Xiqi, this time Jiang Ziya will use the secret method of Yuxu to defeat our army with that supernatural power .”

"So in this battle, the king wants to exchange one hundred thousand elite troops for one hundred thousand old, weak, sick and disabled mortals. At that time, the old general only needs to follow the plan and withdraw directly to Sishui Pass under the escort of the elite."

After hearing this, Lu Xiong respectfully cupped his fists and raised his head, laughing calmly: "The last general is the general of the Great Shang Zuo Army, how can he escape in battle!"

"The old general will definitely lose this battle!"

"Haha, there is no need for the national teacher to say anything more. It is our long-cherished wish to wrap the corpse of the general in horse leather."

Looking at the resolute Lu Xiong, Qingyun sighed secretly, but he had some calculations in his heart, maybe he could do some more calculations, but it will only depend on the situation at that time.

"Well, I will follow the army secretly, and the old general will directly lead the troops out of the five passes tomorrow."

Xiqi.

"Report, Dashang has an army of [-] troops that has passed through five passes, and is now heading straight for Qishan."

Not only did Jiang Ziya not panic when he heard this, but he smiled confidently.

This Altar of Conferred Gods has just been built, and the "Banquet of Conferred Gods" is hung up, and now it is about to be worshiped on the altar.But I don't want to have a merchant army coming.

Inside the mansion, Ji Fa, who was wearing a golden blindfold over his left eye, stood in the hall heroically. When he saw Jiang Ziya coming, he hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Yafu, the Yin and Shang emperor ordered Lu Xiong to lead [-] soldiers and had already left the five passes and headed straight to Qishan. He also asked Yafu to help calm the turmoil."

After seeing Ji Fa's respectful expression, Jiang Ziya smiled calmly, turned around and looked at Xiqi's flustered civil and military officials, and he laughed directly.

"You don't need to panic, Fengming Qishan is my Great Zhou, God's help, Chengtang Yinshang has already set in the west, and there are only a hundred thousand soldiers, and there is no need for too many. Your Majesty only needs to borrow [-] veterans. Within five days, The veteran will destroy Lu Xiong's one hundred thousand army."

All the officials couldn't help being shocked, Jiang Ziya's words were too big, but Ji Fa was full of confidence, he knew that whether he could win the world of Yin and Shang this time, it all depended on how the Great Sage helped him.

"Yafu, as the prime minister of my Great Zhou, from now on I will give my father the power of the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou. All the generals and soldiers in the army will be dispatched by the prime minister, even if they are alone!"

It has to be said that Ji Fa was indeed courageous, and directly handed over all the rights of Xiqi Dazhou. The officials were shocked, but Jiang Ziya, who had obtained the approval of his own king, looked at the officials vigorously.

Fengshen!As long as he made great achievements, would he still use the immortal way of sorrow?

"Order Nangongshi and Wuji to gather 2 horses and set up camp in Qishan, blocking the intersection and not allowing Yin merchants to come over. I will raise [-] troops in a few days."

The mighty Xiqi army began to move, and the [-] troops of Nangongshi and Wuji directly camped in Qishan.

Lu Xiong's [-]-strong army marched down to the exhausted army. When Tan Ma learned that the [-]-strong army of the Xiqi rebels had camped ahead, he directly ordered the army to set up camp there.

The two armies had just set up their camps when they fought against each other. At this time, the weather was hot and it was Xia Futian.

In the early morning of the second day, Xin Jia came to meet him at the camp, and shouted directly at Nangong Shi: "The prime minister has an order, ordering you to transfer your troops to the top of Qishan Mountain to set up camp."

After hearing this, Nan Gongshi and the second general Wu Ji looked at each other with expressions of disbelief. The weather was unbearably hot at this time, so why not go up the mountain?Isn't this courting death?

But fate was hard to escape, the two felt aggrieved and had no choice but to hold their fists together and lead the troops to the mountain.

The second general ordered troops to go up the mountain. All the soldiers of the three armies were gasping for breath and sweating profusely. Their clothes and armor were already soaked, and it was inconvenient to fetch water because they had to cook.

After the Yinshang camp heard the news, all the soldiers of the three armies burst out laughing, especially Fei Zhong and You Hun who accompanied the army even more.

"Haha, Jiang Ziya, the old general, really lost his head and let the army camp up the mountain. Even people with different military skills like the two of us know that this is the way to die."

"That's right, Jiang Ziya seems to be a fool for cultivating immortals. Maybe he still has three points for catching monsters, but this marching and fighting is simply a joke."

"No no, didn't Jiang Ziya kill an ordinary woman when he was chasing the demon?"

"Haha, that's right. When I heard that Jiang Ziya defected, his dumb apprentice felt ashamed and severed his relationship with Jiang Ziya, tsk tsk."

Fei Zhong and You Hun made fun of all the soldiers in the army, but Lu Xiong's face was a bit ugly, and the other party was really stupid in terms of marching and fighting in the ordinary world.

But he already knew the identity and background of the other party, Qi Refiner!Immortals and the like!

Lu Xiong's face was so ugly that he strode directly towards the handsome tent. Seeing this scene, Fei Zhong and You Hun even secretly gave a mouthful of disgust.

"If it weren't for relying on you to earn military merits, you would really be taken seriously by us brothers and sisters."

"Yes."

Fei Zhong and You Hun didn't know that their seals were black, if they hadn't been protected by great business luck, the two of them would have suffered a long time ago.

"Master, Naxiqi's army is really weird."

Returning to the handsome tent, Lu Xiong's face was a little ugly and he said directly to the figure sitting alone in his handsome tent.

After hearing this, Qingyun raised his head and smiled slowly, "As expected, this Jiang Ziya is going to use supernatural powers."

"National teacher, I listen to you. Three thousand elites confuse each other in front of the army formation, and they even set up a maze that is so powerful."

When veteran Lu Xiong said this, he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The final general, I would like to thank the national teacher for accompanying me all the way. Now that the battle is imminent, I also invite the national teacher to return to Chaoge to meet the king. This old minister will serve the country with his death!"

Lu Xiong, a veteran with a firm face, knew that he was a mortal with naked eyes, and that he would no longer be needed for an ordinary general like him in the future battles, especially since his old blood had weakened to the extreme. That is the greatest consolation.

Looking at the old general Lu Xiong, Qingyun felt a little emotional, this was the opponent's choice, obviously he could save his life, but for a general, he is now old, his vitality has decayed and he can no longer fight on the battlefield, especially for this battle In the big battle, the combat methods of ordinary mortals like him have been eliminated.

"Old general, I have two options for the general to choose from, one of which the general has already rejected, and the second, I don't think the old general wants to die in the military tent so uselessly."

"Also ask the national teacher to enlighten me."

Qingyun squinted his eyes and whispered in Lu Xiong's ear, "After all, there are still three thousand elites in the old general's [-] army. Old general... Isn't it better to die in such a heroic battle than to freeze to death in this military tent? If it succeeds, the meritorious service of the old general in the first battle is enough to be listed on the list of gods."

A gust of wind blew past the military tent, only the old general Lu Xiong was in the tent, but with a firm expression on his face, he cupped his fists in the direction of Chaoge and shouted loudly: "My lord! The old minister will serve the country with death! "

On the second day, Jiang Ziya led 1 people out of the city and headed for Xiqi.Nan Gongzao and Wu Ji went down the mountain to meet them, and went up the mountain to join forces. 3 horses hung up curtains on the mountain.

The handsome Zhou tent on the top of the mountain was opened on all sides to ventilate, but all the generals were sweating profusely. Jiang Ziya sat in the first place and looked at the crowd with a smile without explaining. Ruler, hurry up and build it!"

Although Wu Ji didn't know what to do, how dare he disobey his master's order and directly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders."

Xi Qixin stepped into the commander's tent without urging the car to go up the mountain with many accessories, looked at the crowd and laughed, "It happens to be all there."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands, and saw the soldiers carrying the ornaments directly into the tent. Jiang Ziya smiled and nodded after seeing this, "No one should be missed, every soldier must be handed out."

"The end will know."

All the officers and men stared at the ornaments in their hands, and they were stunned for a long time. Each of them wore a big padded jacket and a bamboo hat.

Isn't it nonsense to hand out something to keep out the cold in the damn heat?

Seeing Jiang Ziya's full smile, one of them couldn't help gritted his teeth and snorted, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you put it on quickly, and die sooner."

The generals looked at each other, but Jiang Ziya turned a blind eye and said with a confident smile: "You generals, don't worry, but tonight, when the wind is blowing and the sky is full of ice and snow, it won't be too late to wear it again."

The generals are confused, the sun outside is hot in the dog days, you say there is a strong wind and they believe it, but the ice and snow are flying all over the sky?Looking at each other, if they didn't know that their prime minister is a Qi refiner, they would have thought it was a dizziness.

But it is said that the earthen platform will be finished in the evening.Under the suspicious eyes of the generals of the three armies, their prime minister, Jiang Ziya, came to the stage, with his hair on his back and his sword in his hand, bowed down to the East Kunlun.

All of a sudden, the sky and the earth changed, and Jiang Ziya, who was wearing his hair and wielding a sword, used the Yuxu Immortal Technique, looking in the direction of Kunlun and shouting: "Disciple Jiang Shang, for the sake of all living beings in the world, use the Yuxu Dafa, the wind comes! The thunder comes! "

In the twinkling of an eye, the sunset glowed, and the dark clouds rolled in. At the same time, the strong wind was blowing, and the Xiqi soldiers on the mountain exclaimed and greedily enjoyed the cool wind.

The generals on Jiang Ziya's side were shocked when they saw this, Qi practitioners!This Jiang Ziya is crazy!
"Prime Minister, immortals should not use supernatural powers to harm mortals, let alone rely on supernatural powers to influence the confrontation between the two armies of mortal dynasties."

The colleague's expression changed greatly and he stepped forward to speak in horror, while Jiang Ziya, who was disheveled, smiled, "Haha, I don't know what you think."

"Don't be impatient, generals. Although my spell today is against the peace of heaven, Lu Xiong is leading an elite army of [-] Yin merchants. It's just a night of ice and snow. At most, some livestock will be frozen to death. Nothing will happen."

After hearing Jiang Ziya's explanation, all the generals showed sudden expressions. As long as they grasp this measure well, it won't be too much to freeze a few people to death.

Yin Shang barracks.

"Happy, haha, happy, this strong wind came at the right time."

Fei Zhong and You Hun laughed heartily. The scorching heat was unbearable and they were tired of going with the army this time. They had thought that a sudden gust of wind would blow up, and the heat would dissipate in an instant. At this moment, they thought they were God help the big business.

"Quick, tell the old general, this is a good omen."

"Reporting to my lord, the general has led [-] elite troops out of the camp, saying that he is going to investigate the terrain."

After hearing such a reply, Fei Zhong and You Hun were not too surprised, but smiled and waved their hands and said: "Okay, the soldiers of the three armies should sleep peacefully tonight."
