Chapter 282 The Collapsed Emperor Xianlong (4000 words in two chapters)

Fighting is about making the best use of the situation.

Taking advantage of the momentum is a crucial step.

The southern barbarians have a good grasp of this.

Under the leadership of the sorcerer, they launched the battle of Jinguan City.

The battle of Jinguan City was a blitz, and the Nanban fought it neatly, hardly giving the Zhou army any chance.

Although they tried their best to hold on, Jinguan City was broken in less than ten days.

As soon as Jinguan City was destroyed, the defenders of Jiannan Road were completely discouraged, and they collapsed at the touch of a touch.

The southern barbarians took advantage of the trend and went northward, approaching Chang'an through the ancient Shu Road.

The voodoo master's advantage lies in manipulating dead bodies.

Therefore, as long as there are dead bodies, the southern barbarians can minimize the battle damage during the battle.

The southern barbarians approached Chang'an very quickly, and it didn't take long before they left Jiannan Road and came to Hanzhou, the southern gate of Chang'an.

"As we all know, the northern gateway of Chang'an is Shuozhou, and the southern gateway is Hanzhou."

The leader of the Nanban witches and Gu masters looked at the Xiongcheng not far away and said with emotion: "It is said that Hanzhou is naturally dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Today I have seen it."

The terrain of Hanzhou City is extremely high, and after going out of Shu from the ancient Shu Road, it is extremely difficult to attack Hanzhou.

"Maybe we can try to fill the height by summoning dead bodies."

"No, how many dead bodies do you need?"

The leader of the witchcraft master snorted and said: "Let's not talk about whether there are so many dead bodies, even if there are, it will take a very long time. It is impossible for the defenders to watch us build the corpse wall."

Although the corpse is not afraid of swords and halberds, it is afraid of fire.

If the defenders attack with fire, it will be a great threat to the dead body.

At that time, a fire will burn it clean, which will be a great blow to morale.

The leader of the voodoo master must take all these into consideration.

If you want to enter Chang'an, Hanzhou must be attacked.

But how to fight and how many people to fight must be considered.

"Make trebuchets and prepare to attack the city."

After thinking over and over again, the leader of the voodoo master chose the safest way.

And the trebuchet can not only throw stones, but also throw corpses.

At that time, the witches and Gu masters can manipulate the corpses thrown into the city, causing serious trauma to the defenders of Hanzhou City.

It can be said that this is a two birds with one stone plan.

...

...

Hanzhou, the military governor's mansion.

Tian Feng glanced at the generals in the Dudu's mansion, seeing that they didn't say a word, he sneered.

"Why, when Nanman called you, you were all scared? Wasn't it pretty easy to say at the beginning?"

"Great Governor, Jinguan City has been captured by the Nanban, can Hanzhou hold it?"

"Yes, Chief Governor, why don't we evacuate as soon as possible, before it's too late."

"fart!"

Tian Feng was furious when he heard the words, he slapped the table and said: "Can Jinguan City be the same as Hanzhou? Jinguan City was consumed by the siege, you try to encircle Hanzhou?"

The two cities are indeed very different.

Jinguan City is located in a plain area, and the enemy can spread out the siege, cut off the connection between Jinguan City and the surrounding cities, and ensure that Jinguan City becomes an isolated city.

But Hanzhou is completely different.

The terrain of Hanzhou City is very high, and the enemy army marched from south to north, and there was only one direction to attack the city, so it was impossible to achieve encirclement.

This situation determines that Hanzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there is no problem with their defense, the Nanban cannot easily enter.

"Be timid before fighting, this commander can punish you for a serious crime! If you confuse the army's morale, the crime will be aggravated!"

Tian Feng gave all the generals a hard look, and the generals were so frightened that they fell silent, not daring to vent their anger.

"The commander-in-chief announced that Hanzhou will enter a state of martial law from today. No one is allowed to enter Hanzhou City. All staff are ready to fight to the death. Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be punished!"

...

...

"Report, urgent report!"

Emperor Xianlong frowned instinctively as he watched a junior official rushing to him in a panic.

"Tell me what happened."

"Your Majesty, Jiannan Dao urgently reports that Jinguan City has fallen."

bang.

Hearing these words, Emperor Xianlong only felt his head explode.

"How could this be...how could this be..."

In addition to Chang'an City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most prosperous cities were Yizhou and Yangzhou.

Central Sichuan has been prosperous since ancient times, and Jinguan City is a first-class prosperous city.

Now Jinguan City has fallen into the enemy's hands...

Emperor Xianlong felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, quickly, come and support Your Majesty."

A group of eunuchs rushed up and hurriedly supported Emperor Xianlong, and then helped him onto the Yutan.

"Decree, order Zheng Jie to come see me quickly."

Emperor Xianlong gave orders wearily.

...

...

After about a stick of incense, Zheng Jie, the internal servant, arrived in a hurry.

Seeing the old emperor on Yutao, Zheng Jie felt sad for a while.

In his impression, Emperor Xianlong has always been a very high-spirited person.

But now Emperor Xianlong is like a withered old man, exuding a sense of powerlessness all over his body.

"Your Majesty, you have summoned your servant..."

"Here we come, Big Companion... Jinguan City has fallen."

Emperor Xianlong said straightforwardly.

No wonder…

Hearing this, Zheng Jie probably understood Emperor Xianlong's state of mind.

Jinguan City is one of the best cities in Dazhou.

Emperor Xianlong sighed: "Chang'an is full of crises now, the foundation of the ancestors will not really be destroyed by my hands, will I? I will not really become the king of subjugation?"

"Your Majesty is too worried."

Zheng Jie knew that Emperor Xianlong was in an extremely fragile state at this moment, so he comforted him: "At present, there are only rebels making trouble. Your Majesty is the Son of the Dragon, and he bears the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He will definitely be able to save the day."

"Don't comfort me, buddy."

Emperor Xianlong shook his head and gave a wry smile.

He has been the emperor for so many years, and he still has this score in his heart.

"Right now, Da Zhou has reached the end of the mountain. If you can make it through or have a second spring, if you can't make it through..."

Emperor Xianlong didn't say anything more, but Zheng Jie certainly understood what it meant.

"Forget it, I have to cheer up. I am the king of a country, I can't fall down. Help me up..."

Seeing Emperor Xianlong struggling to sit up, Zheng Jie hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."

In fact, from Zheng Jie's point of view, whether Emperor Xianlong can support himself really doesn't have much impact on the current situation.

There are civil officials and military generals outside, internal guards, bad people, and even Qin Tianjian are the pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

What Emperor Xianlong has to do now is to take care of his health, as long as he takes care of his health, he can leave the rest to his courtiers.

"Hey, I always thought that I was the absolute core of Da Zhou, but now it seems that I am too arrogant."

Perhaps only in front of Zheng Jie, Emperor Xianlong would show his soft and weak side.

"But I'm not reconciled. These barbarians want to take advantage of the decline of my Great Zhou's fortunes to steal benefits, and I don't agree. I must stand up, and I want to tell them that the Great Zhou's fortunes are not yet over. I am still the emperor of the Great Zhou, right?" The ruler of this world. Companion, help me up!"

Emperor Xianlong's mood changed extremely quickly, and suddenly became high again.

"Big companion, I heard that Dongyue Wei Wuji has also come to Chang'an. How sure are you that you can kill him this time?"

Emperor Xianlong's eyes were full of hatred.

From his point of view, Wei Wuji, an old dog, had repeatedly assassinated him, and it really took an inch.

Do you really think that no one in Dazhou can cure him?
"Wei Wuji is indeed here."

Zheng Jie nodded and said: "He should be with the High Priest of the Demon Sect now. The slave feels that if he goes deep alone, he may be trapped and killed by the mountain chief. However, this officer is very vigilant, and generally speaking, he will not rush after him .If he gets up, no one can catch up with his skill, not even the head of the mountain."

Wei Wuji is the sword master of Dongyue, and one of the unique skills of Dongyue Jiange is lightness kung fu.

Wei Wuji's lightness kung fu was at its peak, if he really started chasing him, it would not be easy to catch up to him.

"Then use a method to trick him into taking the bait, I can't let the tiger go back to the mountain again."

Emperor Xianlong's eyes were dark, and he clenched his fists tightly: "Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. Companion, do you understand?"

"The servant understands."

Zheng Jie nodded.

"The servant must do his best to trap and kill this servant."

Chang'an West City.

Lushes stand side by side, and people and businessmen gather together.

Silver work, needle work, clay work and even cattail shoes, paper making, copying calligraphy and painting are too numerous to enumerate.

Not to mention printing books, brewing wine, weaving mats, and lacquer work.

The prosperity of the world is in Guanzhong, and the prosperity of Guanzhong is in Chang'an.

Zhao Xun was ordered by his mentor Qinglian Daoist Wu Quanyi to go to Xishi to visit an old friend of his old man.

His name is Han Bohu.

Han Bohu is very good at painting, and often trades his paintings for wine.

The world only thinks that Han Bohu is a down-and-out painter, but few people know that he is a very powerful charmer.

Wu Quanyi hoped that Zhao Xun would pull Han Bohu out of the mountain to help him repair the formation in Chang'an.

Han Bohu's house is in an unremarkable tavern in the West City.

Zhao Xun didn't want to spend more time in the market, so he took a square step and went straight to Han Bohu's house.

Han Bohu's home is at the north entrance of Xishi Archway.Zhao Xun rushed to Han's house according to the address given by his mentor.

Han Bohu was born in a family of merchants, and his father Han Guangzhi opened a small tavern in Xishi to make a living.

In order to save money, Han Guangzhi opened up half of the courtyard of the tavern as his home.

A whole family lives in it.

Merchants and merchants naturally don't pay so much attention. If they want to go to the back house, they have to go through the tavern.

This kind of layout of front shop and back house is very common in West Market.

Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment before walking into the tavern with a shake of his robe.

Entering the tavern is filled with the smell of alcohol.

The drinkers sat together in twos and threes, waving wine fists and carrying out wine orders.

Zhao Xun once expected that the environment of this kind of market restaurant would not be too elegant, but he never thought that it would be so vulgar.

I really can't imagine how Han Bohu painted or even practiced Taoism in this environment.Maybe it's talent.

Zhao Xun, a man dressed in brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, walked into a market restaurant, and immediately attracted the attention of many drinkers.

Just when he was in embarrassment, an old man in bunt rushed over and said with a smile, "What would this gentleman want to drink?"

Zhao Xun quickly said: "I'm not here to drink, I'm here to find someone."

The old man laughed and said, "Little Lang, you are joking. We are running a wine shop, not a dental shop."

"I came to find Han Bohu by the order of my teacher."

Zhao Xun said bluntly.

"Look for Bohu, that kid has been painting all day long."

Zhao Xun deduced from this person's tone that this person should be Han Bohu's father, Han Guangzhi.

"Please take me to see Brother Han."

Han Guangzhi nodded.

Guided by Han Guangzhi to the backyard, Zhao Xun walked towards the east yard.

Han Guangzhi had two sons and a daughter. Besides Han Bohu, he also had a son named Han Shen, and the other daughter was married.

Now Han Guangzhi and his wife Qiu live in the main house in the north.Han Bohu lives in the East Wing, and Han Shen lives in the West Wing.

The door of the house was ajar, Zhao Xun stepped forward and knocked lightly, and walked in after getting a response from the owner.

The house is not big, but it is well divided.

A simple screen separates the living area and the reading area.

Zhao Xun walked around the screen and saw a scholar with a face like a crown sitting in front of the desk. He thought it must be Han Bohu, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Han, I came to visit you at the order of Daoist Qinglian , What a nuisance."

Han Bohu was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you, Daoist Qinglian?"

"It's the tutor."

Hearing this, Han Bohu put down the scroll in his hand and nodded, "I see, Daoist Qinglian is kind to me. Since you are his apprentice, you don't need to be polite."

Zhao Xun also did a lot of homework from his mentor before coming here.He knew that his mentor and Han Bohu had a good relationship, so he didn't exchange too many pleasantries but went straight to the point.

"I heard that Mr. Han is not only good at Danqing, but also proficient in the art of talisman formation. Chang'an is in danger now. I wonder if Mr. Han has the idea of ​​going out of the mountain?"

"What is your intention here, Mr. Lang?"

Han Bohu's face suddenly became gloomy, with a very serious expression.

"Don't Mr. Han know that the formation in Chang'an City has been destroyed. We searched along the nodes of each square and found a lot of damage. But it is easy to find but difficult to repair. Although the teacher He is proficient in the technique of talisman formation, but he is only one person after all. Even with three heads and six arms, it is too late to repair the bad spots."

Zhao Xun already had a draft in his stomach, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and continued: "If Mr. Han can help, we will be able to repair the formation faster."

"But what does it matter to me?"

Han Bohu raised his eyebrows and said, "If Priest Qinglian invites me personally, I might consider it. But it would be too abrupt to ask me to come out of the mountain for Chang'an City."

"No!"

Zhao Xun said decisively: "As the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Since Mr. Han was born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an, and now Chang'an is in danger, it is only natural that you should stand up and do your part."

"Dao Master Qinglian asked you to say these?"

"No, these are all from my heart."

Zhao Xun resolutely said: "I also think that with Mr. Han's responsibility, I won't be confused about this kind of thing."

Zhao Xun acted very aggressively, which could easily offend Han Bohu.

But unexpectedly, Han Bohu smiled instead of angry.

You must know that Han Bohu is a very frivolous person. The reason why he is willing to make friends with Taoist Qinglian is because Taoist Qinglian was also very crazy back then.

"It is true that like a teacher, there must be a disciple. Daoist Qinglian has taught a good apprentice. To be honest, if you just beg hard, I may not really appreciate it. But just because of you What you said, if I don't make a move, I will be a little bit unworthy of my talent. Forget it, I'll let you go."
