Chapter 173: Under the Secret God Mountain
readx;
Wang Zheng listened to Sun Yuanhua's analysis of his fate in a daze, and a bitterness welled up in his heart, he and Sun Yuanhua were both friends and parishioners, he really didn't want to see his friend in trouble, and the current situation might even be difficult to protect Sun Yuanhua's life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Sun Yuanhua continued: "The Wen faction in the DPRK and the central government, everyone is waiting for the official to fall, but the official is inclined to fight. ”
"Oh?" Wang Zheng was a little surprised.
Sun Yuanhua said: "Kong Youde is just looting, in the eyes of the official, it can still be recovered, this army is the essence of Denglai, the official should do his best to keep a combatable army for the imperial court, personal gains and losses, he can't take care of it." ”
Wang Zheng is not a fool, he knows that Sun Yuanhua actually still has a glimmer of hope, he hopes to appease this rebellious army, reduce his own guilt, and strive not to implicate Zhou Yanru, if Zhou Yanru is fine, he can protect Sun Yuanhua and escape with his whole body.
Wang Zheng was relatively sober at this time, and said worriedly to Sun Yuanhua: "Chuyang, Li Jiucheng has always disdained to abide by the law, Kong Youde seems to be loyal, but in fact he is also unruly. ”
Sun Yuanhua stared at him and said: "Kong and Li are both Liao, and it is legitimate for the Liao people to defend the Liao land, this time the two of them are in chaos, they must be confused for a while, they can follow Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town to fight Jiannu for many years, they should still have a bit of loyalty." ”
"But ......"
"You don't have to say it, the official will repair a letter immediately, and you will send someone to Kong Youde to explain the intention of the official to appease him, hoping that the two of them can get lost and return."
Wang Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that this might be the last hope to save Sun Yuanhua, and finally nodded, when there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a messenger came in to report: "My lord, there is news from Phi Dao." ”
Sun Yuanhua stood up and asked eagerly, "How?" ”
"Phi Dao Fei tried his best to get out of a boat, saying that Guangludao Shang Kexi quietly went ashore, and attacked the rebels with the deputy general Shen Shikui, and had already captured Geng Zhongyu and others, and rescued Huang Long, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, but Huang Zongbing's ears and nose were ripped off by the rebels, and his leg was also discounted, but the island was already stable."
"Okay" Sun Yuanhua shouted, stood up and walked back and forth excitedly. The Dongjiang people of Shandong and Phi Island echo each other from afar, and for a time there is a great danger of sweeping the whole of Shandong and subverting Dongjiang Town. Now that Phi Dao is settled, his guilt is less.
He stopped for half a sound and ordered: "Phi Dao is established, this official should immediately go to the Beijing Division to report to the Zhifu Lord, now there is only the chaotic army, the most worrying person in the Beijing Division, is the chaotic army into Zhili, I will appease the strategy, and order it to return to the east, away from Zhili and Jinan Fushuzhou County, when the auxiliary has room for maneuver." Pass on my order, the states and counties along the way are not to attack Kongbu, and let them come to Dengzhou. ”
Bai Lian took Xia Nan and Bai Xiaoxian from Huang County to Laizhou, in order to take a shortcut, they did not take the official road along the state and county, and picked a remote path.
But I never thought that the situation had changed again. Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, wanted to appease the rebels, and ordered the prefectures and counties along the way to give up resistance, and the rebels went straight to Dengzhou, which had already crossed Laizhou and entered Dengzhou. The three of them walked the path day and night, and actually passed by the rebels.
The three of them had to turn around and walk back. However, this news made Bai Lian more trusting of Xia Nan's vision, and his judgment was really accurate. Since the Wuqiao Incident, the rebels have passed almost all the places they have passed, and they have turned a blind eye to such evil deeds, saying that they will be appeased, and sure enough, in order to keep their official positions, they can't take care of anything.
The mountains in the south of Dengzhou City are continuous, the nearest to Fucheng is called Mishen Mountain, also known as Wenfeng, it is composed of a series of large and small mountains, the highest elevation is less than 200 meters, and the dense water in Dengzhou City from the southeast through the northwest originates from this. To the east of it there is Kui Mountain, and further south there are a series of mountain systems such as Ma Mountain, Niu Mountain, Shu Mountain, Chi Mountain, Wanghai Ridge, etc., forming a barrier in the south of Dengzhou.
When the rebels returned east to the territory of Dengzhou, they were stationed on Mishen Mountain, blocking the road to Qixia, and detached some men and horses to be stationed in Wollongong in the southeast and Shimen Mountain in the southwest, blocking the road to Ninghai Prefecture and Huangxian respectively, and the direction of Fucheng from Route 6 to other places was basically blocked, and it became an isolated city. Sun Yuanhua, who advocated appeasement, now regrets a little that he did not keep the rebels out of Huangxian and then talk about appeasement, and now he is being approached by the rebels, and the initiative falls into the hands of the rebels.
Bai Lian learned through the news channels of the sect that Wang Bao had followed the rebels all the way to the east, and now he was opening an altar to recruit sect members in a village called Li Zhuang at the foot of Mishen Mountain, so he led the two to Li Zhuang.
As soon as they entered Li Zhuang, the three of them saw that the doors of every house in the village were closed, and many of them were pasted with yellow talismans and incomprehensible runes, but people didn't know where they went. I finally met an old man in the village to inquire, only to know that there was a great immortal with high mana in the village, who was opening the altar and practicing it, and the villagers were basically there.
Xia Nan was a little confused, wasn't the White Lotus Sect in history founded by a monk, how could it be a rune and an altar, these are Taoist tricks, he asked the White Lotus puzzled.
Bai Lian sighed: "The White Lotus Sect's real name is the White Lotus Sect, which was founded by Mao Ziyuan, a monk from Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and is related to the Buddha. However, in the Yuan Dynasty, it was deeply influenced by Taoism, so the believers of the White Lotus Sect burned incense to worship the Buddha, and there were also those who worshiped the Sanqing Daozun. Wang Bao was originally a Taoist priest, but after he mixed into the White Lotus Sect, he still used his original tricks to coax the sect members. ”
I see. The three of them followed the trail to the place where the altar was opened, which was an ancestral hall, not only full of people, but also the walls and branches of the trees were full of people, which was very lively.
In order to enter the ancestral hall, the three of them made a lot of effort, Xia Nan opened the way in front, and the white lotus master and apprentice followed him. In the summer, Nan's physique was stronger than most people in this time and space, and he squeezed out of the way, and the villagers who were squeezed away by him were dissatisfied, and when it seemed that the person was a head taller than himself, he immediately stopped talking.
As soon as I arrived at the forefront, the situation ahead was unobstructed, and a wonderful drama was being staged at this time: a middle-aged man with three locks of beard was dressed in a Taoist robe, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his hand to a large iron pot in front of him, as if he wanted to catch something, the pot was filled with oil, and it was already boiling and tumbling.
What are the consequences of reaching into a pot of boiling oil, everyone knows. The surrounding villagers held their breath and watched the amazing scene with wide eyes. Even the White Lotus master and apprentice couldn't take their eyes off it, although they were equipped with martial arts and could enter the white blade empty-handed, they couldn't enter the oil pot empty-handed.
