The Way of Rebirth

Chapter 134 Zhang Guifang fights against Xiqi. Li Weigong asks for orders to conquer the West

Zhang Guifang, the guard general of Qinglong Pass, received Chaoge's message. He immediately took charge of all the military affairs in Qinglong Pass, and quietly selected 50,000 horses to form an army for the Western Expedition. He only waited for the general Qiu Yin who came from Chaoge to accept the military affairs of Qinglong Pass before starting.

To Xiqi, they also continued to send scouts to Xiqi to find out the truth, because Huang Feihu told Zhang Guifang when he was defeated and retreated to Chaoge, Xiqi has strong soldiers and horses, abundant food and grass, and the help of experts, it is very difficult to win.

Very difficult

A few days later, Qiu Yin finally arrived, and also brought a letter from Huang Feihu. Zhang Guifang transferred all the military affairs of Qinglong Pass to Qiu Yin, and then led the army to Xiqi. Pioneer officer Feng Lin led 10,000 horses.

Taking the lead, they opened a mountain pass in front, and Zhang Guifang personally led the army to follow. The army marched like this for several days, and finally chose a dangerous place to camp outside Xiqi City.

In the tent, Zhang Guifang opened Huang Feihu's letter and saw that it described in detail the process of his defeat. Zhang Guifang looked at it for a long time, her face became solemn, and after burning the letter, she ordered the generals to come to the tent to discuss important matters.

Not long after, all the generals came in, walked into the tent and bowed with their hands, and then they all sat on their seats and looked at Zhang Guifang. Zhang Guifang waved his hand, and an attendant brought a map, opened it and placed it in front of them. Zhang Guifang clicked on a place and said: "

This is our garrison, and it can be said to be adjacent to Xiqi City. Our army has never had any information about sneak attacks by the Western Zhou people along the way, which means that the Western Zhou people are hiding in Xiqi City. The walls of Xiqi City are high and thick.

, there are 50,000 troops and horses guarding the city, and from what I can see, it will take another 200,000 to defeat them, so I am summoning you today just to hear what you think?"

"Why should a general boost the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?" Pioneer officer Feng Lin immediately stood up and said, "With the skills of generals and junior generals, it is easy to capture and kill the generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty. All you need to do is beat them until they are lifeless. I think

Xiqi City will automatically surrender."

"How many masters are there in the world?" Zhang Guifang shook his head and said, "Although you and I can dominate the world with our abilities, we cannot guarantee that there will be masters who can restrain the magic of you and me. If there are also masters in Xiqi City

What should we do if we are such a master?"

"This..." Feng Lin was speechless upon hearing this.

"This general heard that Marshal Huang Feihu led the Western Expedition and used Taoist magic to defeat 50,000 troops in Xiqi. However, when attacking Xiqi City, two experts with special skills helped him. This is how the army was able to defeat Xiqi.

The defenders in Xiqi City took advantage of it to hold back Marshal Huang. With no leader, the troops attacked three gates before being defeated. Even with Marshal Huang's ability, he would have capsized in the ditch here. How could we, those of us with weak abilities, not do it?

Be careful?" Zhang Guifang said solemnly at that moment.

"General, are you saying that there are experts in Xiqi City?" Feng Lin was shocked and asked immediately.

"Yes, and he is also a disciple of the Chan Sect." Zhang Guifang nodded and said, "This Chan Sect and the Jiejiao Sect of our country are both ancient sects, and the disciples among them are all famous masters in ancient times. I'm afraid you and I are not rivals.

ah"

"Is what the general said true?" Feng Lin's face turned pale when he heard this, "So all my troops and horses will die here?"

"That's not necessarily true," Zhang Guifang shook her head and said, "Even if we are defeated, we must keep our troops and horses alive, otherwise the Shang Dynasty's current situation will easily be attacked by the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"What the general said is true," Feng Lin nodded and said.

"Tomorrow, go and lead the battle to see if there are any experts in the enemy army. Remember, if you see an expert in the outside world, come back immediately and don't fight, otherwise you will be tricked to death by this person," Zhang Guifang said immediately. Then she said He also discussed with the generals in the tent for a long time. After the moon rose to the west, the generals exited the central tent and went back to their own tents to rest.

On the second day, Zhang Guifang went to Feng Lin and led 10,000 horses to lead the battle. As the drums beat, Feng Lin held a mace in his hand and urged his mount Wu Haima to lead the army towards Xiqi City. It didn't take long. Arriving at the foot of Xiqi City, Feng Lin ordered the sergeants to set up defensive positions to guard against sneak attacks by the troops and horses in the city. Then he urged his mounts to step forward and shouted to the top of the city wall: "I am Feng Lin, the general of the Shang Dynasty. Who can come out to fight to the death with me?"

Jiang Ziya and others were discussing precautions in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Suddenly someone came to report that Chaoge's troops had arrived at the city, and a general was challenging him. Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya led the generals to the city wall and looked down. I saw a general showing off his power there. This general had a face like indigo, hair like cinnabar, and protruding fangs. He was wearing gold armor, with arms-swallowing beasts on his shoulders, a big red robe on his back, a five-flowered crown on his head, and an exquisite jade belt around his waist. Wearing beast boots, sitting down with a wolf-toothed barb in hand, and a curly-haired black horse, he really is a tiger-bear general.

"This man is really brave." Jiang Ziya looked at Feng Lin and sighed, "I, Xiqi, would be very lucky to have such a general."

"Why are you doing this, Prime Minister? This general in the city is no more than a young man, but he dares to come to Xiqi to show off his power. Let's see if the general will capture him and wait for the Prime Minister to deal with him." The next general came out and said, cupping his hands, and then He turned around and walked down the city, ordered his army horses, opened the city gate, and went out to fight.

On the city wall, before Jiang Ziya could give him any advice, the general had already left the city to fight. Feng Lin saw that the gate of Xiqi City was wide open, and an army of horses came out of the city. The leader was a general who was extremely brave and wore a leopard head. Eyes, tiger beards like needles, wearing red beast armor, a breastplate on the chest, arms swallowing beasts on the shoulders, a red cloud belt on the waist, a red bird helmet on the head, fiery red shoes on the feet, holding a spear in the hand, sitting down Qing Cong horse.

"Who is coming?" Feng Lin put the mace on his shoulder and pointed with his left hand and asked.

"I am Ji Shuqian, the twelfth son of Xibohou. Come and die soon." The man pointed the spear in his hand at Feng Lin and cursed.

"You are not worthy of fighting with me, call the Taoist on the wall." Feng Lin glanced and saw a Taoist standing on the city wall, wearing a blue and white Bagua Dao robe, a gold fishtail crown on his head, and holding the Yin and Yang swords in his hands. Paying attention to the things here on the wall, Feng Lin remembered Zhang Guifang's reminder and was a little worried that the Taoist was the master Zhang Guifang said.

"Hahaha..." Ji Shuqian laughed when he heard this, "You are a common man, I can kill you, why bother the prime minister? Come and die quickly." He immediately sat down on his horse and danced with the spear in his hand. Then he stabbed towards Feng Lin.

"It turned out to be Jiang Ziya. It was a false alarm." Feng Lin was overjoyed when he heard this. When he saw the dancing spear coming, he immediately mobilized his black horse and danced his mace to meet him. The two of them fought with spears and sticks. In a group, the two horses also moved by turning the light. Feng Lin's stick was more dangerous, and Uncle Ji's spear was more skillful. The two of them fought for more than a hundred rounds, with no winner or loser.

After all, this mace is a barbaric weapon that requires a strong person to use it perfectly. However, even if it is used by a strong person, it will be exhausted if it is dragged into a long battle. This makes the gun only need to be skillful and powerful. There was no need to ask for more, so as time passed, Feng Lin became unable to hold on. Ji Shuqian also noticed the problem here, and was overjoyed. He immediately used a flaw and stabbed Feng Lin in the right side while Feng Lin was not in a hurry to withdraw his stick. foot.

Seeing this, Feng Lin knew that he would be at a disadvantage if he continued. He happened to find out that there was no Huawai expert in Xiqi City. He waved his mace and forced Ji Shugan back, urging his horse to flee into his own formation. Ji Shugan was behind him. Seeing this, I was furious. How could I let the bird fly away? I immediately urged my mount to chase him with my spear, ignoring Jiang Ziya who shouted to stop him on the city wall.

Feng Lin was overjoyed when he saw that Ji Shuqian was really chasing after him, so he used a flaw to slow down his horse. Ji Shuqian thought it was Feng Lin's foot injury, so he speeded up and came after him, but he didn't see Feng Lin's mouth in front of him. He muttered something, and when he saw that the two of them were very close to each other, he was about to thrust his gun, but he saw Feng Lin turning around and opening his mouth to spit at him. Then a black smoke spurted out from Feng Lin's mouth, and the wind turned into a net. , there is a red bead in the center of the net, the size of the mouth of a bowl, and I hope it will hit you.

Ji Shuqian was caught off guard and was knocked off his horse by Hong Zhu, and then he was trapped by the web and unable to move. Feng Lin sneered in his heart when he saw this, turned his horse and came back with a swing of the mace and beat Ji Shuqian until his brains exploded and he died. .

Seeing that Feng Lin had beaten Ji Shuqian to death, he stopped challenging. He immediately ordered his troops to return to the camp and informed Zhang Guifang of the situation he had discovered. Zhang Guifang was overjoyed when he heard that there was no Huawai expert in Xiqi City. After rewarding Feng Lin, he ordered everyone to The generals will have a good rest and beware of enemy sneak attacks. They will attack Xiqi at dawn tomorrow. They must break through the city, capture the son of Xibohou and a group of rebel officials, and bring them to Chaoge for questioning.

In the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, Master Taiyi, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly had a whim. He opened his eyes and counted with his fingers, then nodded and smiled, and ordered the boy Jinxia next to him: "Go to the backyard quickly and call your senior brother Nezha. "

"According to the order," the Jinxia boy bowed and replied after hearing the words, and then walked to the backyard. Not long after, he returned with a child. The child was born with a face as pink as a powder, lips as if painted with vermilion, bright eyes, nine feet in length, but After Nezha's death, his soul was collected by Taiyi Zhenren and returned to the cave. He took lotus roots from the Wulian Pond and made Nezha's true body, so that Nezha could be resurrected from the dead.

"Master," Nezha bowed and saluted, "Are you looking for me?"

"Nezha, today is the time for you to come down from the mountain to assist the Western Zhou Dynasty. I will pass on some treasures to you so that you can fight on the battlefield." Master Taiyi said with a smile. Then he waved his fly whisk and a flaming spear appeared. The body was wrapped in blazing fire, which was really terrifying; there were also wind and fire wheels spinning back and forth in the air...

"These are the fire-tip spear and the hot-fire wheel. I will give them to you today as my master." Master Taiyi gave the two treasures to Nezha and told him the secret formula. Then he took out a leopard skin bag and put a gold brick in it. He also put the treasure that Nezha was born into, the Huntian Ling Qiankun Circle, and handed it to Nezha.

"Today's celestial phenomena are showing signs that the thirty-sixth army is conquering Xiqi. You should go down the mountain to assist your uncle Jiang Ziya, so as to comply with the law of heaven," Taiyi Zhenren said.

"Disciple accepts the order." Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately took the spear, put the Qiankun Circle in his hand, stepped on the hot wheel, hung the leopard skin bag on his waist, left the Golden Light Cave and flew towards Xiqi.

But in Chaoge City, Li Jing's heart was pounding. He immediately made a hexagram and became furious when he saw the hexagram. He immediately came to the Longde Hall to see Emperor Xin. Emperor Xin was meeting with Huang Feihu in the Longde Hall.

When Kong Xuan was discussing, he suddenly heard that Wei Gong Li Jing asked for an audience. He was a little strange at the moment and ordered his attendant Yang Rong to go and announce the meeting.

Not long after, Li Jing walked into the palace and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, Li Jing, pays homage to your Majesty."

"Ai Qing, stand up and speak," Di Xin waved his hand and said.

Li Jing stood up after hearing this, saluted Huang Feihu and Kong Xuan, and then said: "Your Majesty, the last general is here to ask the king to issue an order to send the last general to Xiqi to help Zhang Guifang's army."

"Why is Aiqing so anxious?" Emperor Xin asked strangely when he saw this. "Zhang Guifang has extraordinary abilities and must not be easily defeated by Xiqi's horses. Has something happened to General Li?"

"To be honest, Your Majesty, the general had something in his mind before. When he did some calculations, he discovered that the general's son Nezha had actually become an official in Xiqi. The general was well aware of Nezha's abilities. He was afraid that General Zhang Guifang didn't know how powerful the traitor was and fell into the trap.

, the army is bound to be in danger." Li Jing heard this and cupped his hands and said, "So the general came quickly to ask for orders."

"Isn't General Li's third son Nezha dead?" Huang Feihu asked strangely after hearing this, "How can he still serve as an official in Xiqi?"

"The marshal doesn't know that although Nezha died, his soul was still alive and was taken away by his mentor Taiyi Zhenren. He must have used some magic power to resurrect this traitor to cause harm. The general knows that this son's abilities are extraordinary.

If the general didn't have a treasure to restrain this traitor, he wouldn't dare to compete with him. Since the traitor came out at this time, it must be Taiyi Zhenren who has some plans. The general is worried that General Zhang Guifang doesn't know what happened here.

Just be careful and you will catch yourself." Li Jing explained solemnly at the moment.

"There are many Taoist spells in the world that can resurrect people, but this spell that can bring people to life without disrupting the way of heaven can only be transformed by pure things. In this case, this Nezha must have been used by Master Taiyi.

The pure thing made a body and punched the soul into the body, and it was just resurrected." Kong Xuan immediately spoke out after hearing this, "In this case, Zhang Guifang will definitely be tricked by the scheming king. Please quickly order Li Jing to lead the army to help, and maybe the defeat can be saved."

"The imperial master also said so, so I issued an order." Seeing that Kong Xuan also had a solemn expression, Emperor Xin immediately drafted a letter and handed it to Li Jing, "Wei Gong can mobilize 50,000 troops and horses to help Zhang Guifang. When the army meets,

Duke Wei takes over the command, and Zhang Guifang is at your disposal."

"This is the tiger talisman of Chaoge Barracks. It can mobilize the army." Huang Feihu took out the tiger talisman and handed it to Li Jing, "General, please send troops quickly to rescue."

"The last general has received his order." Li Jing took the edict and immediately walked out of the hall and went to the barracks to mobilize troops and horses. He ordered 50,000 elite cavalry and set off overnight to rush to Xiqi.

"Why is the Imperial Master so solemn?" Emperor Xin asked Kong Xuan immediately after seeing Li Jing leave in a hurry.

"Yes, Imperial Master, with Zhang Guifang's ability, Nezha may not be his opponent," Huang Feihu also asked.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, you don't know something," Kong Xuan said after hearing this. "This Nezha was a Tai Sui figure during his lifetime. A seven-year-old child could give birth to the Dragon Prince of Donghai, fight on the battlefield, conquer Dongyi after his death, and his soul would be captured by him."

The master takes it back and uses a pure object to reincarnate and resurrect, and the ability will be improved to three levels immediately. Moreover, this pure object must have the ability to transform dirt and exorcise evil spirits, and can avoid evil spells, diseases, and disasters. The poor people heard about Zhang Guifang's magic.

This strange technique of calling people's names to make them comatose may work on others, but it will definitely not work on Nezha."

"The Imperial Master said that although Nezha is alive, his soul is not here?" Huang Feihu, who is also a practitioner of Dharma, asked in surprise.

"Nezha's soul is still there, but it is protected by his body, and ordinary evil magic cannot penetrate it. In my opinion, the purest thing in the world is the lotus, so this Nezha is most likely to be

The incarnation of the lotus, Zhang Guifang is definitely no match, and if you want to deal with Nezha in the future, you will need someone else. Those who possess such enchanting magic are no match after all," Kong Xuan said immediately.

"So powerful?" Di Xin was shocked when he heard this, "Is there no spell that can deal with him?"

"It's not impossible. Both Pindao and Wen Taishi can deal with him, and Nezha's body is the incarnation of a lotus. The five elements are innate and belong to wood and are afraid of fire. However, Nezha's own cultivation is good, and ordinary fire cannot burn him. He must

It requires three flavors of true fire and Nanming Lihuo. Few people can master these three flavors of true fire, but a poor Taoist can use it. But now that the weather is stable, it is not the time for a poor Tao to take action. However, Li Jing has a treasure in his hand called Linglong Pagoda. This tower

You can subdue Nezha," Kong Xuan said with a smile.

"So my heart is at peace." Emperor Xin heard the words and shouted, "In this case, maybe General Zhang can act according to the plan."

"This is an opportunity," Huang Feihu and Kong Xuan nodded immediately.

"I hope this general will not disappoint me," Di Xin said when he heard this and looked at the west.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Guifang personally led the army to attack Xiqi. Jiang Ziya stood on the wall and looked at Zhang Guifang, nodding and sighing: "This man is really a talented person. If Xiqi gets this talented person, why worry about the great merchants not being destroyed?"

When the generals heard the words and looked around, they saw a general sitting on the white dragon under the banner of the Shang Dynasty army. He was wearing an autumn frost chain armor, a silver phoenix-winged helmet on his head, a long white robe with a dragon behind him, and an eight-treasure white jade belt around his waist.

, holding a bright silver-white gun in his hand, and a four-sided steel mace hanging on the saddle. He was really majestic and dignified in appearance. This man was Zhang Guifang, the guard of Qinglong Pass.

"Jiang Ziya, come out and answer!" Zhang Guifang urged the horse forward and shouted loudly.

"General Zhang, you are polite." Jiang Ziya saluted on the city wall after hearing this, "I wonder why General Zhang led the army to Xiqi?"

"Huh," Zhang Guifang pointed the spear in her hand at Jiang Ziya and said, "Jiang Ziya, you were respected by the king. I visited you four times in the Ming Pavilion. I never thought that you are a person who deceives the world and steals fame. You are a person who seeks fame and fame. You do evil things without thinking about repaying kindness.

, some people escaped from prison and came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, inciting the people of Xiqi to rebel, and also used tricks, saying that Chao Tian and Chao Lei committed a great crime in Zhou Dynasty. This general has been ordered to fight in person. Why don't you quickly dismount and be bound to correct the serious crime of treason by deceiving the emperor?

If you dare to resist the heavenly soldiers, you will only have to trample the western soil and burn all your jade and stones. It will be too late to regret it then. "

"Hahaha..." Jiang Ziya laughed and said on the wall after hearing this, "The ignorant king King Zhou was unruly, causing Chaoge's demons to cause chaos in the palace. They killed countless ministers, forced Prime Minister Shang Rong to retreat, tortured Empress Jiang, and forced the two highnesses to disperse.

, forced the two princes in the southeast to rebel, and killed Xibohou and his son. This was a heinous crime. All the people in the world rose up in rebellion. How dare you help Zhou to commit evil? How about surrendering to Xiqi and abandoning the dark side to the bright side?"

"I am so angry." Zhang Guifang was furious, pointed his spear, and the army stormed Xiqi City. Cloud ladders were put up on the city wall. The merchants and soldiers climbed up bravely, and archers kept shooting arrows at the city wall. For a while, they actually suppressed the Western Zhou army and horses.

They quickly attacked the city wall, but unfortunately all the Western Zhou troops and horses resisted bravely on the wall. The archers below saw their own troops and horses fighting in a melee with the enemy and did not dare to fire arrows randomly to avoid shooting the wrong person.

After three hours of fighting, the merchant army retreated leaving behind five thousand corpses. The Western Zhou Dynasty also sacrificed nearly ten thousand soldiers to fiercely defend Xiqi City. Seeing this, Zhang Guifang could only sigh and led the army back to the camp to rest. Here

Seeing that his army and horses suffered heavy losses, Jiang Ziya felt depressed. He immediately ordered his generals to guard the city wall while he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to think of ways to defeat the enemy...
