Chapter 120: Forming an Alliance (Part II)
At this moment, the light of the void shrouded the palace, and suddenly, a scroll of metaphors was suspended in mid-air, although it was only three feet long, but the words were blooming with golden light, and these golden words "were only a hundred, appeared out of thin air, and turned into a red banner."
The banner is swaggering, a "king", the word flashes with golden light, the red air rushes straight forward, and the thunder flashes between the crackles.
Wang Zunzhi stood up violently and stared at the flag.
Wang Hongyi raised troops.
At this moment, thousands of "soldiers" suddenly appeared in the palace, all looking up at this big banner.
"You dare to go yourself!" Wang Zunzhi stood up and said loudly.
"Xie Hou Ye!", thousands of soldiers, half of them were grateful, turned into a ghostly light, and rushed straight up.
The red qi was pervasive, and those who dared to go up were like entering a pot of oil, and they screamed, but after a while, the results were separated, and they saw three hundred soldiers, who quickly transformed into three hundred heroic spirits.
The red flag turned into a red Jiao in the blink of an eye, and between the meanders, it went straight up: "Zhengxi Yizhou" is at this time!"
Seeing this, the real man sighed, got into the carriage, left the residence of Wellinghou, and went to the depths of the underworld.
Along the way, they encountered many ghosts and gods, and these ghosts and gods retreated from the golden light-shrouded carriage "until they came to a small island rarely seen in the underworld, where the carriage fell from mid-air and stopped in a clearing."
This island is also born of light, and gathers huā like grass, and is not afflicted by the underworld.
"I've seen real people. A group of "people" emerged in front of the carriage and saluted the real person who stepped out of the carriage.
The real person looked at them and nodded.
With a wave of his hand, a ray of light emanated from the palm of his hand.
"This Blue Lotus Luck" is beneficial to your practice and strengthens your body. You have fallen into the world, and you can practice here with peace of mind." Although the underworld is not as good as the world, for thousands of years, the monks of this sect have opened up this place as a place of cultivation, so that you will not be left behind, and you should not live up to the painstaking efforts of your predecessors. ”
"What the true man teaches is that we ought to follow the teachings of the real man. All the "people" bowed their heads and responded.
The real person nodded with satisfaction, and said to the man standing in front of him: "Yunyang, you have the highest rank in this place" The longest practice, you must practice diligently, and cultivate the position of ghosts and immortals as soon as possible, so that you can open up the mansion of the underworld, or accept incense sacrifices!", "Also, the foundation of the Marquis of Welling has been decided" You can be charged to join the shogunate as a general" It is also a way out, this is up to you. ”
"Yes, real people. The man said yes.
The real person asked some things, turned around and got into the carriage, and the carriage immediately left, and after a short spin in the air, "the horse of the carriage stepped away."
Almost at the same time"
Wang Hongyi arrived on the high platform.
I saw that the army was at its peak, "the 40,000 Shu army with a banner like the sea, and nearby, there were Yulin Army and Tiger Benwei.
Thousands of cavalry lined up and waited outside.
At this time, the sun rises in the middle of the sky, "shining on the earth, reflecting the sharp edge" adds to the atmosphere of killing.
On the high platform, all the generals wore armor and lined up in a neat queue below, and Ding Huchen said solemnly: "Lord, the time has come." ”
Wang Hongyi said: "Let's do it." ”
Ding Huchen responded: "The last general will take the order."
Ding Huchen opened the booklet, shouted at the generals, and one by one the generals responded to the order, and finally Ding Huchen reported to Wang Hongyi: "My lord, our army, including the auxiliary soldiers, set out for 41,000 troops, and all the staff arrived. At this time, "the red air was pervasive, Wang Hongyi drew his sword, pointed obliquely forward, and almost at the same time, the flag waved, which could be seen for several miles.
At this time, the 40,000 troops bowed down together, and the shouts rolled over the earth like spring thunder: "My lord is victorious, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!", Wang Hongyi listened to this, and after the three shouts, he ordered: "Go on the march." There were orders before, therefore, one phalanx after another "went out neatly, and when they arrived at the middle road, Wang Hongyi's Chinese army also traveled with flags, and behind them was the rear army of the brigade marching neatly.
A mountain cliff.
The group stood on the cliff, they all had mud on their bodies, and they obviously climbed up the mountain in a hurry, but they all had a calm bearing, and one of them was a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was star-clad and looked at it intently.
I saw the Shu army of the capital surging like a tide, and the boundless sea of flags fluttered in the breeze, and one of the huge golden red flags was particularly attractive.
In the eyes of the middle-aged man, he saw that with the flag as the center, a dragon qi hovered upward, standing upright for dozens of feet.
Under the dragon qi, all the soldiers wearing red armor are densely packed, this expedition, they have all worn paper armor, these paper armor are painted with red paint, dazzling brilliance, it seems that the lineup is neat, mighty and majestic, and their weapons shine dazzlingly under the sunlight.
People say that there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there is no boundary, and the army of 40,000 stretches for 30 miles.
"It's really a strong army, and it's really a hero!", the middle-aged man watched for a long time and said with a sigh.
"Daoist, my Guo Jiajun is not inferior. One said.
"Of course, this is just that Wang Hongyi has already seized a state, and then he will continue to develop" is really unimaginable. The person who was called the Taoist Master didn't care and said.
"This is indeed true!" said the man, his eyes flashing, "what is it now?"
"There are two towns of Yueshan County and Yongchang County in Xiyi Prefecture, and there are 10,000 soldiers in Yongchang Town, it depends on whether Qian Qingfu can resist it, if he can't resist it......" The Taoist master said in a deep voice: "Then the only way to contact the mountains is to make heavy profits, and see if you can gather people to rebel and drag this Wang Hongyi for two years." ”
"Yes, what the Taoist master said was, "Since we were sent by the general, we naturally responded to the order, and asked the Taoist master to give an order and left." The man spoke, apparently in charge of the team.
The Taoist Master nodded and did not speak, "I looked at the galloping army below."
In the spring of March, the temperature was open, and the cold was no longer felt, and it was not hot, the Chengdu army of 40,000 people, the marching effect was good, and when it was close to dusk, the army had already arrived in Yueming County.
The county commander Wei Chongde greeted him as soon as possible, Wang Hongyi didn't say much first, just thinking about the march, because he was completely an elite division, and he traveled on the first day, he was full of physical strength, so he rushed to Yueming County one day.
However, the army was most afraid of marching quickly, and the so-called guerrilla warfare in later generations was completely seeking death, so it was decided that tomorrow it would only travel 50 miles at most, and when it was nearly evening, he commanded: "The Chinese army enters the county" and the other battalions are encamped outside the county!"
When the military order was handed down, they were all ordered to "immediately divide the various areas and dig a trench, which is the natural boundary of the camp."
It can be said that what is in the middle of the night is all nonsense under this system, not to mention each other, that is, each guard and battalion has a trench dividing line.
Trenches were drawn, and the sergeants took out their tents and laid them down, "and dug drainage ditches and public latrines."
Then the trees around him were cut down and the wooden walls were erected, and these training were repeated many times, in an orderly manner, and forty thousand people worked together, and in fact, soon, before the sun had completely set, a well-established camp appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Once it is night, the military camp is not allowed to visit the door, and those who violate the order will be beheaded, and only Wang Hongyi can pass" At this time, he led the tiger guards to inspect the camp.
"The morale of the soldiers is good, and the cooking smoke is curling, the pots and stoves are set up, there are hot dry food, and there is dried meat soup, and the food is good."
Wang Hongyi also went to the logistics battalion where the thunderbolt was parked and checked that there were no mistakes, and these were pulled by mules, "once they arrive at the place, they can be quickly assembled."
After turning around, Wang Hongyi was very satisfied, and then said to Wei Chongde, who had been waiting: "Not bad" Let's go to the city!", Wei Chongde waited until now to finish, and responded: "Yes!"
However, the Shu army could rest, but Qian Qingfu of Yongchang Town was furious.
In a small hall in Yongchang County, at this time, only the sound of "pop," everyone looked inside, their whole bodies trembled, and they all looked at each other, all of them were pale.
When the Shu army traveled, it did not cover up the news, and it was impossible to cover up the news, so it was naturally sent here quickly, which is undoubtedly very bad news.
After Qian Qingfu finished saying this order, he looked around at everyone, and everyone knelt down, only to hear the words from between his teeth: "The whole city is under martial law, from today onwards, those who discuss in private will be killed, those who dare to act without permission will be killed, and those who dare to shake the will of the army will be killed."
"No!", everyone responded.
In a moment, a herald rushed out of the mansion, conveying the order to gather the generals.
The herald's tone was stern, the military situation was tense, and the generals came to the Marshal's Mansion one after another.
At this time, the "Great Marshal's Mansion" was already full of armored tooth guards, all of them murderous.
When they got inside, the lights were bright, and there were hundreds of candles in two rows, "shining like day, and all the generals were gathered together", all dressed in armor, shining in the candlelight, full of murderous energy, but they were all silent.
After a moment, the guard stretched out his voice: "Da handsome has arrived!"
The generals hurriedly saluted, and for a while the sound of armor clashing was incessant, and they knelt down.
"Get up!", Qian Qingfu came in and didn't take a seat, so he said in a deep voice: "Just now, Ben Shuai got a spy report from Chengdu, and the king thief led 40,000 regular soldiers" 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, a total of 40,000 troops, led by the king thief himself, has arrived in Yueming County through Chengdu, and he can go straight to my town tomorrow!", all the generals took a breath of cold air, 40,000 regular soldiers, 10,000 auxiliary troops, all of them couldn't help but turn pale.
Qian Qingfu looked around and said in a deep voice: "This is a time when this town is in danger, only by being loyal and dutiful can there be a glimmer of life, and you can also protect its wealth!"
Qian Qingfu looked at the generals and said: "Collect grain and grass, except for Chuankou County, and transfer all the rest of the grain and grass, so that the king thief will not get a single grain!"
"The army is concentrated, except for Chuankou County, which is stationed in one to test its strength, and all the others are collected in Yongchang City!"
Qian Qingfu issued orders one by one at this time, "No one has room for opposition, and all the generals know that those who dare to disobey at this time will be beheaded immediately, and they all knelt down and responded: "No!"
But he was uneasy in his heart, "Wang Hongyi sent 40,000 troops, but he only had 10,000, and it is said that there is a kind of stone breaker that can destroy the city, how to fight this battle?!~!"
