Chapter 116: The Intertwined Schemes of the Parties

The Golden Horn and Silver Horn are quite famous characters in "Journey to the West", and they are also the monsters with the most magic weapons among the nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties encountered by the four masters and apprentices who learned the scriptures, which made the four masters and apprentices suffer a lot.

Hearing Luo Feng's question, Tongtian Gushu explained: "The power of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn is all in the six magic weapons, and its own strength is ordinary, and its real body is a boy who shows the furnace to Taishang Laojun, and his strength is limited. ”

Luo Feng said: "Only a purple gold red gourd is very good, I still remember, introduced that this gourd is the first division of chaos, the heavens are open, there is a Taishang ancestor, dissolve the name of Nuwa, refine the stone to make up for the sky, save the world of Yanfu, make up to the Qiangong touch, see a Kunlun Mountain, there is a wisp of fairy vine, on the knot of this purple gold red gourd. The origin is extraordinary, and its supernatural powers are comparable to the best in the Taoist weapons. ”

Tongtian Gushu sneered: "Then you have to have this magical power, you can try it, what is the effect of this Horcrux." ”

Hearing the meaning of the words, Luo Feng sent true qi into the Horcrux, and then communicated with Wu Ge's spirituality, gradually groping.

"It is required that the user must have the root of the spirit of the dragon, that is to say, as long as it is a person, it can be used, and yes, the root of the Silver Horn King is an alchemy boy, and he is naturally also a human being. Its efficacy is...... Alchemy supernatural powers, swordsmanship supernatural powers, and fire control talents! In the state of not blessing martial arts, you can only use fire control talents. ”

After understanding the effect, Luo Feng finally understood why it was only seven products, although this horcrux was in the shape of a purple gold red gourd, it was selling dog meat on a sheep's head, and it had nothing to do with the origin, which made people happy.

"Alchemy supernatural powers and fire control talents come from the identity of the alchemy boy, as the helper of Taishang Laojun, he can control almost all the different fires in the world, and can also refine the essence of the fire source, and the alchemy supernatural power should theoretically be stronger than the wild path of 'Ling Xuozi', as for the swordsmanship supernatural power, it comes from the incarnation of a monster, and will use the seven-star sword to fight with people. ”

Tongtian Gushu added: "The level of swordsmanship of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn is not bad, one alone can fight with Pig Gang Guan for twenty rounds, and two of them can fight with Qian Gang for thirty rounds. ”

"Twenty or thirty rounds can also be regarded as a big battle?" Luo Feng was a little skeptical, "The alchemy supernatural power and the swordsmanship supernatural power only work in the state of blessing martial arts, and they can't be used for the time being, but the fire control talent, although it is biased towards cultivation and cannot be used against the enemy, but if it is used properly, it may be able to help me solve the problem of the fifth layer of pure yang red fire energy." ”

"Good idea! I missed this, I only thought about alchemy," Tongtian Gushu pondered for a while and put forward an opinion, "Pure Yang Red Fire Energy is divided into two parts, one is Yang, and the other is fire, and the martial arts of the 'Silver Horn King' can only solve the 'fire' part, whether it can drive the whole and refine Pure Yang is still unknown. ”

Luo Feng said patiently: "It's okay, there will be a period of calm in the future, which is enough for me to experiment." As long as the second son of Marquis Wu Zhao is not stupid, he will not divide the army, and Qi Boren will also seize the opportunity to maximize the influence of the surprise attack on Qianling County and deter all forces, so until Wu Zhaocheng ends, we will not be in trouble. ”

......

As Luo Feng said, after absorbing the troops of Qianling County, Qi Boren set off again, and issued a letter along the way, designating his younger brother Qi Zhongyi as a prisoner of the head of the family, plotting against the usurper, and listing twelve crimes, and he will be the eldest son, clear the king's side, eliminate villains, and enforce family law.

In addition, his uncle Qi Wenzhong acted as a tiger, colluded with rebellious ministers, and had bad intentions, so he was removed from his post as a taishou and demoted to a commoner, and was robbed of the ill-gotten wealth in the mansion, all of which were used as military expenses for rebellion.

This kind of "killing chickens" with his own family made other people see Qi Boren's determination, and some speculators who had a fluke mentality and thought that even if they were hostile to him, the eldest prince would not attack him because of the name of benevolence, and they put away their minds one after another.

The name of righteousness is indeed important, and after Qi Boren issued a statement to all forces, the situation quickly settled down, and three clear options were constructed.

If you want to gamble on your future, the forces that seek wealth and danger take the initiative to take refuge in one of the two sons, and do not want to meddle in the internal fighting, whoever wins will support whomever the wall-riding faction, then restrain their own soldiers and horses, do not take a step out of the barracks, and put on a posture of not hearing anything outside the window.

Qi Boren had always had a good reputation, and although his brother's talents were recognized as superior to him, a capable and ambitious monarch was not as easy to serve as a mediocre but honest monarch for those subjects.

What's more, Qi Boren's talent is not mediocre.

In addition, the inheritance of the title by the eldest son, in the eyes of many old stubborns, is a tradition that must be observed, and it is also an orthodoxy that must be maintained.

So Qi Boren's army marched all the way, without encountering the slightest hindrance, and the front of the army was directed towards the royal city, and there were teams joining on the way, and gradually growing.

On the other side, the forces that wanted to take refuge in Qi Zhongyi also gathered in Wuzhao City, and both sides made preparations for a decisive battle, making the situation extremely clear.

And although Qi Zhongyi took the lead, secretly prepared for many years, and attracted all forces, he did not have an orthodox reputation, which was his biggest disadvantage.

When Qi Boren's army was less than a hundred miles away from Wuzhao City, the strength of the two sides was unexpectedly equal.

In the fief of Marquis Wu Zhao, the population was less than one million, because it was not a war era, and the total number of soldiers was less than 100,000, half of whom did not join this internal struggle for various reasons.

In the end, gathered under the command of Qi Boren, there were about 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Although Qi Zhongyi claimed to have 100,000 soldiers, everyone knew very well how much water there was, and even according to the information of the anonymous person, it was a little less, estimated at about 28,000.

As Qi Boren's army approached, the atmosphere in Wuzhao City became more and more tense, and a curfew was imposed half a month ago.

The name of righteousness is very effective, and it is natural for the eldest son to teach the second son, even if the army is determined to follow Qi Zhongyi, it is inevitable that there will be signs of panic.

In the Mansion of Marquis Wu Zhao, as one of the two most important parties, Qi Zhongyi looked calm and relaxed, sipping fragrant tea and talking with an old man.

This Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, which made Han Wei, the great elder of the Han family, admire: "Qi Gongzi's heart is first-class, if ordinary people encounter this kind of situation, I am afraid that they can't help but send troops to intercept on the road and try to resist the enemy." ”

Qi Zhongyi said with a smile: "I have a strong city, the division of troops for field battles is the next policy, the divided troops are less, and they cannot play the role of blocking, and the divided troops are too large, and they may be hit head-on. ”

His smile was full of confidence, which made others feel infected, thinking that he was really confident, rather than pretending to be false.

Han Wei praised the dragon and phoenix among the people, and said: "The Seven Yao Heavenly Star Array has been properly trained, not to mention that it is running as expected, and it is enough to use it against the enemy. According to Yue Ding, in another day, we will set up a formation at the city gate, ask them to come to the battle, and when the time comes, we will trap them in the formation. ”

Qi Zhongyi thanked him: "With Elder Lao Han, with the help of the masters of the Han family, I am like a tiger with wings, and I will definitely win this battle with 100,000 male soldiers." The Han family is so gracious, when I ascend to the position of marquis, there will be a great reward!"

"The old man is here, thank you to the future Marquis Wu Zhao first. ”

Han Wei squeezed out a smile and complimented him a few words, and then left the Marquis Wuzhao Mansion on the pretext of practicing the formation.

Soon after his farewell, a guard appeared from behind the screen and said softly: "Childe, the Han family cannot be trusted! I secretly investigated, although because of its many masters, I did not find out complete information, but through some clues, I was sure that they had other plans to help us, but they just wanted to use our men." ”

Qi Zhongyi remained silent, drank the remaining tea, and said slowly: "The Han family is not in the territory of Marquis Wu Zhao, so it is natural that there is a plan to help us, and this little careful thinking can't hide it from me." Moreover, I can more or less guess their intentions, it doesn't matter, they want to use me, why don't I use them and take what they need. ”

The guards said worriedly: "However, a full 20,000 soldiers and horses are in their hands, once the formation is broken, our army's vitality will be greatly damaged, and the combat strength will be greatly reduced......

"20,000 disobedient soldiers and horses, hand them over, and if they can, I want to hand them over more. Anyway, what I really relied on was the 5,000 elite soldiers, and other than that, they were just some flag-waving and shouting, and from the very beginning, I didn't count on this group of speculative waste. ”

Qi Zhongyi got up and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, all the way to a heavily guarded courtyard.

"Public ......"

The guard's maid was about to give a salute when he raised his hand to stop him.

When Qi Zhongyi walked into the courtyard, he saw a toppled rhododendron tree, and a beautiful woman stood next to the tree.

In front of outsiders, the heroic second son put away his edge, lowered his head and whispered
