You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 245 Before the war begins

Mr. Yulu is doing something behind the scenes, and this matter can be big or small.

If the lay Buddhist from the library really did something big, the Qingzhou spies would be no pushovers and they would definitely notice it.

But the situation in Qingzhou is a bit special. It has a large formation called "Seven Mountains and Four Lakes" that relies on mountains and rivers. Now this layman is making a move on Huishan...

It's hard not to think too much.

"Second Young Master, I will keep this in mind and will never let the thieves harm Qingzhou. I will definitely tell Lord Shou about this matter, and he will make the final decision at that time."

After hearing the promise from the General, the Second Young Master's expression eased a little.

However, he still took a few more glances at General Tiandao who had been hiding in the back and remained silent.

After staring for a few seconds, he seemed to have forgotten all the anger that Tian Dao had caused him, and laughed:

"I didn't expect that after not seeing the general for a few days, he has become much more reserved."

"General Tiandao" showed a wry smile on his face and was about to say something when he was stopped by the General of Zhonglang next to him.

"Second Young Master, the general is not in good health, so please don't tease him. Wait for the general to recuperate, and then he will naturally visit the nobles."

"How dare I tease the general?" The second young master smiled and waved his hands: "The general was joking with me just now, I was just joking back."

After saying this, the second young master turned and left.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance sideways and look the general up and down a few times.

Finally, he walked away without saying a word.

When the second young master left the compound, the General's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Sure enough, there are risks in taking such an inferior vase embryo.

He estimated that the second young master of the aristocratic family had already noticed the problem.

Of course, the General also knew that the other party did not have any evidence at all, and if they really wanted to use this to gain benefits from him, it would be a bit lacking.

Looking coldly at the "General Tiandao" behind him:
"General, you have been resting for several days. Do you remember the routine events I taught you before?"

"General Tiandao" shuddered subconsciously and forced a stiff smile on his face:

"Still...still a little bit behind."

"I'll give you one more day. If you still can't fix it tomorrow, don't keep your head on your neck. Maybe it'll be better to put it somewhere else."

The Zhonglang general's voice was cold.

General Tiandao's face turned pale. He nodded in panic and said repeatedly:
"I will definitely work hard! Master, please rest assured that I will not let you down!"

"You are General Tian Dao, you can just call me General Zhonglang."

Zhonglang will slow down his voice:
"General, there is no need to be so nervous. Just get through this period. When you return to Qingzhou, women will come to your bed in droves. Even if you don't want to continue to be a general, just ask for your resignation from the King of Shou. The King of Shou will definitely give you a large sum of money so that you can live in peace."

After hearing the assurance from the General of the Central Army, "General Tian Dao" nodded repeatedly.

The General of the Central Army did not leave either. He simply took a stool and sat opposite "General Tian Dao", watching him study carefully to avoid any mistakes.

Seeing that there was no hope today, "General Tiandao" could only obediently take out the booklet that General Zhonglang had given him before and study the contents therein conscientiously.

The General nodded with satisfaction, took out a stick of incense from his arms and lit it.

"But is he the guard in front of His Royal Highness Prince Shou?"

"Yes, General Tiandao has been ill these past two days."

"Send some people to Qingzhou's Gray Mountain to take a look. There is a layman in the Kyoto Book House who is setting up a formation there. I don't know what his intentions are, but we must be on guard."

After reciting these words on the other side of the incense, the General cut off the message incense.

Glancing sideways at "Tian Dao", he discovered that the other party's attention was no longer on the booklet he left behind. Instead, he was looking up at the blue sky, distracted.

No, this guy is too unreliable. If we continue to let him pretend to be a general, things will easily go wrong.

The General was silent for a few seconds.

He certainly couldn't let General Tiandao die in his place. The best way now was to let him fight a battle, and after a small defeat, he would return to Qingzhou for adjustment, and then let him die!
After changing the general, it is impossible to defeat the bandits in Xuzhou, but is a small defeat still difficult?

"General."

"Ok?"

"Let's mobilize tomorrow."

"Ah? Can I do it?"

"You are a general, you can't just do nothing." The General said, "Don't worry, no one can expose your life-changing trick. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter, just get hurt and retreat."

"Tian Dao" had nothing to say and could only lower his head obediently, accepting his fate.

The General of the Household was not worried about being exposed.

Are there any powerful people in Xuzhou?
Just a bunch of low-class people sticking together.

Even if the rumored aunt is in Xuzhou, she can't reveal the truth about the replacement of generals!
……

The appearance of General Tiandao disrupted Xuzhou's plan. Xiao Changan originally planned to wait for Jingzhou's support to arrive before organizing the army to go to Xuzhou Pass together, but the journey was too long. If the Jingwang support army really came, it would probably take more than half a month. In that case, even if there were guerrillas to stop them, the Qingzhou army would probably approach Xinchun City.

inappropriate.

So Xiao Changcheng directly mobilized his troops and marched towards Qingxu Pass.

Zuo Chen naturally followed along.

"I guess this General Tian Dao is not the real person. They must have used some tricks to create a false image of General Tian Dao to maintain the morale of the army."

Sitting on the donkey cart, Zuo Chen said to Xiao Changcheng beside him:

"When the time comes, I only need to use some means to break the illusion, and the Qingzhou army will naturally be in chaos. You can just send your troops forward."

After thinking about it again, Zuo Chen rummaged around in his arms for a long time, took out a thick stack of talismans, and stuffed them into Xiao Changcheng's hand.

"Today, when the army is on break, go cook some more Taibai soup, burn all these talismans, and mix them in for the soldiers to drink. It will be good for them."

Xiao Changcheng took the talisman.

For the first time, he felt the "heaviness" from the talisman.

It looks like a blue brick used to build a house.

Has the Taoist priest made so many talismans during this period?

After taking a closer look at the talismans in his hand, he found that there were many types given by Zuo Chen, including but not limited to "Good Fortune", "Iron Bones", "Drive Away Disasters and Evil Spirits" and "White Bones".

He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

As Xiao Changcheng had experienced Zuo Chen's talismans, he certainly knew how powerful Zuo Chen's methods were.

The steel bones are real steel bones, and even a knife can't cut through them.

others……

I'm afraid the effect won't be much different!
Xiao Changcheng swallowed his saliva:

"Master, I don't know how strong your talisman is after it is divided. Can you give me a rough estimate? In case I make a wrong estimate and let the brothers in front get hurt for nothing."

"Steel body and iron bones can protect against some stray arrows, good fortune and virtue can avoid injuries, and the others are similar in ability."

"hiss."

This method is quite powerful!

They have so many soldiers!
The Taoist priest has used talismans and magic on all of them. Can I just shout "Kill them"?

Xiao Changcheng immediately called his men to handle this matter, but he still asked them to carefully classify the talismans. Each talisman would naturally have different effects when used at different times. Just like when treating an injury, if the steel bones and flesh bones were mixed up, the doctor would have difficulty tying the wound with a hemp rope.

When the time comes, burn it into ashes in advance, put it in a small wax paper, and drink it together with a bottle of water. The effect will be the same.

After telling these things, the army continued to advance. There were too many people, and Zuo Chen couldn't use the shrinking technique for the whole team, so he just followed the team obediently.

The pass was a bit far away, and it took nearly a week for Zuo Chen, Xiao Changcheng and their team to reach the pass as the advance troops.

They did not go directly to Changjun City, but instead took only a small number of people to the nearby forest.

Xiao Changcheng blew a long whistle, like that of a bird or an animal. Not long after, several knights dressed in dark green clothes with leaves on their bodies walked out of the forest.

They all bowed to Xiao Changcheng, and Xiao Changcheng introduced him to Zuo Chen:

"These are our Xuzhou guards. It's because of them that the Qingzhou army failed to attack."

"Hey, Commander Xiao, you're joking." The dark green guard laughed, "Our soldiers are not good enough. We are definitely no match for the Qingzhou group in a head-on fight. We can only run around in the woods. Fortunately, these people don't know the way. As long as we dive into the woods, they won't find anything. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have been killed long ago."

"After we drive away the Xuzhou troops, we will host a banquet to entertain all of you brothers. Now, let's think about how to deal with the Xuzhou thieves." Xiao Changcheng said, "What is the current situation?"

"General Tiandao is gathering soldiers and will lead the army tomorrow. Please follow me and I will show you."

Following these Xuzhou guards, they soon arrived at a towering slope in the forest. The terrain here was wide and they could clearly see the scenery below.

At a glance, Zuo Chen saw a dense group of soldiers lined up in formation.

At the front row of these soldiers, General Tiandao, wearing armor and looking majestic, rode a big horse and swayed in front of the army.

After staring for two seconds, Zuo Chen suddenly laughed:

"They turned a beggar into a Heavenly Sword General. The people of Qingzhou really know how to play tricks."

"Ah?" Xiao Changchen's face was full of confusion, not knowing what Zuo Chen meant.

Zuo Chen thought about it for a moment, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on his face:
"Go and prepare a precious sword."

Although Xiao Changcheng was puzzled, he still listened to Zuo Chen's words obediently and took out a sword.

But he saw Zuo Chen blew a breath of Qi towards the top of the precious sword, and Xiao Changcheng immediately felt that the sword was completely new, as if it could cut steel and iron.

"Master?" Xiao Changcheng was shocked.

"Don't they call themselves Heavenly Sword? Then let them see what a real Heavenly Sword is."
