The Way of Rebirth

(Second update today)

Li Jing led 50,000 elite cavalry out of Chentangguan and drove directly towards Jiang Wenhuan's army. Soon he found a dangerous place, stationed his troops and horses, and set up camps for several miles. The oncoming Jiang Wenhuan's army also came.

They camped on the ground, looking across the river from Li Jing's troops. Jiang Wenhuan even appeared in front of the battle in person to look at the situation of Li Jing's troops. You must know that Li Jing is now a world-famous general. He participated in the battle to pacify Dongyi and led the army alone.

An army harassing Dongyi's 300,000 strong generals fought against such a master. Even Jiang Wenhuan, who had always been quite conceited, could not help but pay attention to him.

Li Jing was sitting in the big tent at this time, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and reading it with gusto. There was no hint of a coming war. The front of this bamboo slip was written with "Song's Military Calculation", but it was the story of Li Jing's mission to Wu in the past.

When he went on an expedition, he asked Song Bangren, who was the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army at that time, who was also the Wu missionary office, to get it. Li Jing felt that this book was a rare book in the world at first glance. Li Jing benefited greatly from the explanation of the art of war.

Qian, immediately asked Song Bangren for this book.

"Song's Military Strategy" is an ancient art of war written by Wu Chuandao in his spare time. He wrote down some of the art of war of later generations and compiled it into a summary of the art of war. Unexpectedly, this book was revered by later generations as the originator of art of war.

, opened the door for the military strategist to be passed down from generation to generation. At that time, Li Jing was named the Duke of Wei for his great contribution to pacifying Dongyi. I benefited a lot from reading this book. It also annotated a book called "Li Weigong's Art of War". Therefore, Song Bangren and Li Jing were both called the two ancestors of the military strategist.

, this is a later topic and will not be mentioned for now.

At that moment, Jiang Wenhuan was observing the movements of Li Jing's troops across the river, and was detected by a scout in Li Jing's army and informed Li Jing. Upon hearing this, Li Jing just smiled, waved his hand for the scout to retreat, and continued to read the book in his hand. After a long time, he heard shouts coming from outside the camp.

, the sound of drums and the sound of joy. Li Jing shook his head and asked a general to give instructions and ignored them.

In the big tent here, Jiang Wenhuan felt quite depressed when he saw that this deceitful war plan failed. He immediately asked the generals in the tent if they had any strategies to defeat the enemy. Suddenly, a man came out of the tent and said: "Bohou is here

"In the end, there will be a plan that may be able to defeat the thief."

Jiang Wenhuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked up and saw that the man was tall and sturdy, with a majestic appearance, thick eyebrows and big ears, tiger eyes and leopard beard, wearing a green armor and a wild tiger helmet. He was Dong

Jiang Dongxu, a famous general in Lu, who was brave but lacking in resourcefulness, now said that he had a plan, and Jiang Wenhuan was also a little surprised.

"General Jiang, please tell me and let me listen," Jiang Wenhuan said immediately.

"Bohou, please take a look." Jiang Dongxu walked closer to the map and looked at the surrounding terrain, "Our army is now facing off against Chentangguan soldiers and horses across the river, but the upper reaches of the river is on our side. The general thought that he could fake defeat and deceive the enemy.

If the army crosses the river to pursue it, and then floods it with water, it will definitely be decided in one battle."

"Huh?" Jiang Wenhuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Yes, what General Jiang said is very wonderful. I think it can be used. What do you think?"

"This tactic is not possible." A man immediately stood up in the tent and said, "If the prince uses this tactic, our army will be in danger."

Jiang Wenhuan heard the words and looked up, only to see that the person who objected was very handsome. He was wearing a pure white shirt, a hairband, and a face like a crown of jade. He could tell at a glance that he was a scholar. He felt a little unhappy at the moment and asked.

Said: "Who are you?"

"Bohou, please forgive me. This man is a counselor under the general's tent. Today, I will bring him to the tent to be dispatched." A general from the front responded with his hands raised. This man's surname was Lu, and his name was Wenzhen. He was one of the two hundred princes under Dongbohou's command.

1. Extraordinary martial courage.

"Who is your counselor's name?" Jiang Wenhuan saw that he was someone from Lu Wenzhen's account and asked with a smile, "Where is he?"

"This person and the general are from the East China Sea coast of my family. His surname is Lu and his name is Qiao. He is very strategic. He was recruited by the last general to offer advice and suggestions to the army. Today, I collided with the commander, so I asked the commander not to punish him." Lu Wenzhen responded immediately...

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Jiang Wenhuan said with a smile, and then looked at Lu Qiao, "Tell me why General Jiang's plan doesn't work?"

"The leading general of Bohou's enemy army is Li Jing and Duke Li Wei. He was a famous general in the world who conquered Dongyi in the past. I once heard that Li Jing used a stratagem to hide the truth from the sky and cross the sea when he conquered Dongyi. He also deceived Dongyi to defeat him.

The army and horses were deceived into the valley and then flooded by Song Bangren, the commander of the East Road. This person's leadership ability will definitely see through our plan, so the villain thought that if Bohou uses this strategy, Li Jing will take advantage of it.

Our army is in danger," Lu Qiao said loudly.

"What you said makes sense." Jiang Wenhuan was shocked in a cold sweat when he heard the explanation of the man in front of him. He immediately nodded and said, "In that case, what do you think I should do?"

"Bohou, now we have 100,000 troops and the enemy only has 50,000. We only need to attack with strength and remain unchanged in response to all changes. Why worry about the enemy not being able to defeat us?" Lu Qiao asked with a smile, "So the villain thinks

Our army can only advance with great strides and use force to defeat the enemy, which is a surefire strategy."

"Joke." Jiang Dongxu sneered when he heard this, "Li Jing is a famous general, and he will definitely use tricks to plot against our army. What's more, Chentangguan is an important pass that protects Chaoge Dongfang. The walls are high and the rocks are thick. With our army of 100,000

It cannot be broken in a short time no matter what, so we must find a way to quickly annihilate Li Jingjun’s army.”

"Yes," Jiang Wenhuan nodded immediately and said, "Now that our troops and horses are tired, we may not be able to defeat Li Jing's army in a head-on battle. We still need to have a plan to defeat the enemy. I wonder if you, sir, have anything to teach me?"

"This..." Lu Qiao thought for a long time after hearing this and could only shake his head and sighed, "Li Jing is not an ordinary person. A villain doesn't have any good strategies."

"In that case, why not use my strategy?" Jiang Dongxu said loudly at that moment, "Li Jing is now a famous general in the world. He must be quite arrogant. He never thought that we would use strategies, let alone use the things he once relied on to become famous.

The water attack plan will definitely succeed in the end."

"What the general said is in line with my wishes," Jiang Wenhuan said loudly at that moment, "Now everyone will go back and prepare for life. General Jiang led his 10,000 troops to the upper reaches of the river to store water, just waiting for the success of the plan to fake defeat here."

"The last general takes orders." All the generals in the tent responded with their hands raised, and then they rushed out of the tent and walked to their respective camps.

In the tent of the princes of the East China Sea, Lu Wenzhen was sitting on his seat and asked Lu Qiao: "What do you think of Bohou's defeat in this battle?"

"If Bohou fights with a large army, he will definitely be defeated if he uses this water attack strategy." Lu Qiao shook his head and sighed, "Li Jing is not an ordinary general. From his marching formation, it can be seen that he is

He is a talented person and will definitely not be tricked by this ordinary strategy, so Bohou will definitely lose this battle."

"Is there really no chance of victory?" Lu Wenzhen asked in surprise.

"Judging from the current general trend, it is just a rebellion by the two princes in the southeast. Moreover, the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty has not yet been exhausted, and the general trend is still there. Now it is just the ghost side who has caused rebellion again and tied up the Great Shang army. Once the ghost side retreats, both of us will

The princes are bound to be in danger." Lu Qiao said seriously, and then looked to the west and said, "If the west can also counterattack, it is not impossible for the three parties to contain the merchants and horses to win."

"So our opportunities are still in the west?" Lu Wenzhen asked immediately.

"It's true that our strength alone is not enough to fight against Dashang," Lu Qiao said.

"It seems that our top priority now is to protect this group of people," Lu Wenzhen said in a deep voice, and then called some generals to give instructions.

In Li Jing's army, Li Jing's scouts reported that a group of people from Jiang Wenhuan's rebel army had gone up the river. Li Jing sneered in his heart, knowing what the enemy's intention was. He shook his head and called the generals to make arrangements in the tent.

….

Not long after, all the generals came to the big tent and bowed to pay homage. After the ceremony, they sat in their respective seats. Li Jing handed the scout report to the generals for viewing. He then smiled and watched the reactions of the generals in the tent.

"General, the army and horses on this road must be preparing to store water to flood our army. Our army is in a low-lying area. We can defeat this plan if we temporarily retreat a few miles." A general said.

"Hmph." Li Jing sneered immediately, "They thought they would retreat from the enemy, but they didn't expect that the enemy would let them taste the consequences of what they had sown."

"What's the general's clever plan?" All the generals in the tent immediately asked.

"Look," Li Jing called the crowd to come closer and pointed at a place on the map, "This is where the enemy camp is, but behind it is a place with deep grass and fields. The general wants to ambush a group of troops here and wait for the enemy to come.

During the attack, sneak attack the enemy's camp and then force them to move to the river. Let's see how they deal with it then."

"The general's plan is brilliant," all the generals said after hearing this.

"The terrain downstream of the river here is gentle, and the hidden terrain is suitable for you to sneak across tonight. You will lead two groups of people, totaling 40,000 people, to sneak across from here, ambush the enemy's back, wait for a big battle here, then sneak attack the enemy camp, and then attack the enemy from a flank.

"Army" Li Jing pointed to a place and said.

"The last general has received his order," the generals responded loudly. Then they all walked out of the tent and went back to feed the generals and horses and have a good rest. They only waited until dark before sneaking across. Late at night, Li Jing's army quietly set out.

The two groups of troops and horses headed downstream and then disappeared.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Wenhuan personally led the army across the river to attack. Li Jing led 8,000 soldiers and left some troops to guard the camp and went out to fight. However, he saw Jiang Wenhuan wearing a six-petal golden helmet, gold chain mail, and a large red robe.

Flying behind him, the breastplate flashes back, with a white jade belt around his waist, red Suzaku boots on his feet, a tiger-eye steel whip on his back, a sword in his hand, and a purple electric horse, showing off his power in front of the battle.

Li Jing urged his horse forward, holding a trident in his hand, a green sword tied to his waist, and a steel whip hanging on his back. He looked at each other coldly. When the two met without saying a word, they immediately mobilized their horses to fight. Jiang Wenhuan was brave and brave.

It's hard to stop. No one can stop the conflict in the army. Here, the trident in Li Jing's hand is showing off its power. The purple sky thunder thunders and falls to the ground. After a while, Li Jing summons up his energy and activates the Qing Xiu Dao method.

The trident danced more and more vigorously, and its power became more and more powerful. In a moment, Jiang Wenhuan's army could not resist it, and a false escape turned into a real rout.

Li Jing mobilized his army to pursue him. He rushed to the river and immediately ordered his soldiers to row across the river to pursue him. Jiang Wenhuan crossed the river to see Li Jing's army and indeed came to pursue him. He immediately sent out a signal and flooded the upper reaches, flooding the lower reaches. However,

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Wenhuan could be happy, tens of thousands of cavalry emerged from his camp behind him, and the horses roared to shake the earth. They came to kill the general. He stood on the spot for a moment.

Seeing this, the morale of Jiang Wenhuan's army suddenly dropped. Not long after Li Jing's army entered the river, it retreated to the shore. Over there, Li Jing's 40,000 soldiers and horses ambush took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attacked them, causing Jiang Wenhuan's army to be in chaos. The army unexpectedly

They swarmed into the river, but were swallowed up by the water released by their own army upstream. They suffered heavy casualties for a while. Li Jing's army and horses rushed towards Jiang Wenhuan. Jiang Wenhuan was also frightened. When he was helpless, a soldier and horse shot out from beside him.

It was Donghai Lu Wenzhen who led the soldiers to protect Jiang Wenhuan and retreat to Donglu. Along the way, defeated troops gathered. There were 30,000 people and nearly 70,000 horses were killed. Jiang Wenhuan was completely defeated in this battle. Li Jing immediately realized the victory.

With the troops and horses, they returned to Chentangguan and passed the news of victory to the court song without mentioning it.

Palace notices have been posted on the four gates of Chaoge City, saying that Jiang Ziya, a man who was seeking fame and reputation, actually used the king's respect and friendship to do casual things and lusted after women. However, the woman was chaste and fierce and refused to obey. Jiang Ziya not only did not reflect on it, he was beaten to death.

It was his fault that he liked to deceive the people by saying that the woman was a monster. The king respected Jiang Ziya as a wise man and allowed him to explain it to the court. He never thought that Jiang Ziya would retaliate by setting fire to the court and assassinating the king and the ministers.

They will be tortured by being burned at the stake tomorrow as a warning to others...

For a time, there was a sensation in Chaoge City. No one knew that the man who was once famous in Chaoge turned out to be such a villain. Everyone was amazed. The only one who could believe Jiang Ziya was his sworn brother Song Yiren. Song Yiren heard the news.

He was greatly panicked, and immediately informed Jiang Ziya's wife, Ma, that they would spend some money to go and pack things up. When Ma heard that Jiang Ziya was such a person, she did not listen to Song Yiren's advice, packed the package and returned to her parents' home.

That night, Song Yiren was sitting in the small courtyard drinking alone. Looking at the five buildings, he felt very sad. He vaguely felt that his brother was right in front of him. Tears burst into his face and he sighed, "It's all my brother's fault. If I don't let my virtuous brother

I went to tell my fortune, how could my dear brother cause such an accident?"

"Brother, why should you blame yourself?" A voice came from behind Song Yiren. Song Yiren was startled at that moment. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Ziya standing behind him, patting the dust off his body.

"My dear brother is not in prison, how did he come here today? Could it be that my dear brother's soul appeared and he came to ask me to be my brother?" Song Yiren looked carefully and saw that it was his brother, and he was a little incoherent at the moment.

"Brother, there is no need to be surprised. Little brother, I have learned Taoism, and ordinary prisons cannot lock me." Jiang Ziya sighed, "You can only blame me for having a bad year and everything going wrong. I originally captured a monster, but I never thought that this monster would actually be with me."

The monster in the palace is familiar to me, and he saved me and put the blame on me."

"As a brother, I know that my virtuous brother is not that kind of person. What should I do now?" Song Yiren asked, "My sister-in-law did not listen to my brother's advice and already took the package and returned to her parents' home. Please don't be sad, my virtuous brother."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Although we are husband and wife for a hundred days, the Ma family has returned to her mother's family so that I have nothing to do with it. It is good for her. Now I want to go to Xiqi to live in seclusion. I only wait for the wise king to come and ask for help.

After leaving the mountain, I won’t be asking about the common sense of the world. I wonder when I can see my brother again." Jiang Ziya sighed immediately.

"My dear brother, if you go to Xiqi, it is a paradise on earth. Everyone is a sincere and kind-hearted person. There are no treacherous people. My dear brother, it is a good place to go there." After hearing this, Song Yiren took Jiang Ziya into the inner hall and took the gold.

One plate of silver each, "As a brother, I have nothing to give to my virtuous brother. It's a long way to go, and my virtuous brother is unfamiliar with the place in Xiqi. Some silver taels are good after all."

"Thank you for your kindness, brother." Jiang Ziya was not polite when he saw this. He accepted the gold and silver, and then drank with Song Yiren all night. Early the next morning, he said goodbye to Song Yiren, took a handful of dust and threw it into the air.

Borrowing earth to escape to the five levels...
