Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 264

"Liangshan actually sent all the soldiers and horses to help everywhere?!"

Surrounded by green hills, a camp was stationed by the big river, the weather was severe, and the bells were ringing. Among them, the leader Yao Pingzhong, who had just received news from all over the place, couldn't help being overjoyed, and went straight into the tent to pay homage to the emperor.

"Officials, Jingdong East Road is now empty. If we drive straight in, first take back Bianliang, and then search and suppress the foundation of the rebels on Jingdong East Road, the rest of the rebels will be rootless duckweed, and we will definitely not be able to survive for a long time. gone."

This Yao Pingzhong is also a general of the frontier army, his hair and beard are all thick purple, his face is long and big ears, quite strange, especially the fluffy beard, several feet long, scattered and shining, very eye-catching.

There are 30 frontier troops stationed on the border of Song and Liao, and they are all commanded by Han Shizhong in name. However, after waiting for many years, there is no real war against Liao, so Han Shizhong usually dispatches the most. The nearby Jiehe camp.

And the tens of thousands of generals under Yao Pingzhong's command were originally stationed farther away, and had less contact with Han Shizhong and others. They were the most unambiguous courtiers selected by the emperor from the frontier army.

However, the emperor sitting cross-legged in the center of the big tent on the snow-white bearskin and brocade futon, after hearing his suggestion, had no joy on his face. Who commanded the troops, and where Guan Luoyang went to the battlefield, have you found out about these things?"

Yao Pingzhong bent down quickly and said: "There are Taoist officials and secret agents everywhere, pay close attention, and news will be sent back soon."

"Then you wait for the news to come back before making suggestions."

The emperor waved his sleeves to let him back down, closed his eyes and practiced quietly.

Yao Pingzhong responded, but didn't dare to lift his head, bent his waist and retreated all the way outside the tent door.

Less than an hour later, he came to the big tent again, pinched several secret letters, and talked about the latest battle situation.

Hearing that Jiangnan and Jinghu each had their top masters break through with the momentum of mountains and rivers, the local rebels had broken through the encirclement and retreated to the west of Beijing, the emperor frowned slightly.

Hearing that Han Shizhong led the troops all the way south and entered the Liangzhe area, the emperor immediately asked, "Is there a frontier army led by Yang Zhi and the others in the Liangzhe area?"

Yao Pingzhong said: "Yes, the government also specially ordered the younger brother of the last general to hold the emperor's amulet and serve as an army supervisor there."

The emperor said: "Let them withdraw the border elite from Zhejiang and Zhejiang, cross to the west of Beijing, cooperate with the frontier troops in Jiangnan and Jinghu, divide the battlefield, and prepare to intercept the retreating rebels from various places."

Yao Pingzhong quickly said: "Is it to withdraw all the frontier troops under their command from the two Zhejiang provinces? The local battle situation is already guaranteed, so I'm afraid there will be another change?"

The emperor said: "Han Shizhong only has 4 people. He will go to Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and he may go to Guangnan. Sufficient, full of cannon stones, let them pay close attention to Han Shizhong's movements, don't attack directly, just harass, stick to it, and delay, can't it be done?"

"The officials are wise and steady, so it's not difficult."

Yao Pingzhong arched his hands, his tone was slow and sincere, full of good intentions, and he was about to show his demeanor, "It's just that in the past few days, there have been frequent reports of success in Zhejiang and other places. It's just a lucky escape by taking advantage of the situation in the mountains and rivers. In the end, it will depend on the availability of the troops in the two Zhejiang provinces, maybe..."

The emperor sighed and interrupted him: "You don't need to look, I only use you for loyalty, not with your eyes, let alone with your brain, do you understand?"

During this period of time, the frontier army experienced changes, Han Shizhong left, Yao Pingzhong became a close minister of the emperor, and he was valued. plead guilty.

In fact, the emperor in the previous life also saw Yao Pingzhong's extraordinary bravery and loyalty, and was even more impressed by his boldness. He assigned him to select elite soldiers to resist the army of the Kingdom of Jin. All ruined.

It is naturally impossible for the current emperor to listen to his clever strategies to make decisions.

The emperor asked again: "In late September, there was news from the Liao Kingdom that Yelu Yanxi was going to abdicate and abdicate the throne, and the specific date of passing the throne should be yesterday. are you back?"

Yao Pingzhong took out the bottom one from the stack of secret letters in his hand, and said: "It's just news, there seems to be no twists and turns on the day of the grand ceremony, but Yelu Yanxi's illness became more serious, and he was carried there that day. of."

"The new emperor is an unfamiliar face, not the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom that we used to know. However, there are some ridiculous rumors among the capitals of the Liao Kingdom. Taizu himself, some important ministers of the Liao Kingdom fueled these rumors, and seemed to be happy to see it come true."

The emperor took the secret letter and looked at it carefully, looked at it, and whispered to himself: "It's only two months, but he really made it... Yelu Yanxi, why are you not as good as those rebels... "

The emperor holding the secret letter fell into deep thought.

There was no trace of Luoyang among the various armies that Liang Shan sent out to support. It is not necessary to know that he must be waiting at a certain position on the route of the imperial army to Bianliang and Jingdong East Road.

In order to be able to support the rebels in various places in time and maintain the reputation of military discipline of the rebels all over the world, he chose to lead the pitifully small number of soldiers and horses to guard the rear, and to forcefully carry the elite soldiers of the imperial court with the emperor in charge.

——This is exactly the "unwise move" that the emperor wanted to see the other party make.

Compared with the method of making choices, only accepting a few important rebels, and ceding the land, Guan Luoyang's choice is undoubtedly more extreme. For the sake of reputation, or for some insistence that the emperor sneered at, he put himself in the middle of the world. at great disadvantage.

The emperor wanted to laugh, and he really did, and said with a smile: "Draft an order, send people to the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and borrow generals from the Liao Kingdom!"

"what?!"

Yao Pingzhong was dumbfounded.

………………

The messengers of the Song Army delivered the letter from Emperor Tianming to the capital of the Liao Kingdom as quickly as possible within two days.

On the newly-renovated court hall of the Liao Kingdom, when the civil and military officials of the Liao Kingdom heard this letter of credence, they showed the same expression as Yao Pingzhong, with their mouths half open and their eyes dull.

But they didn't need to cover up quickly like Yao Pingzhong, but they quickly came back to their senses and let out a roar of absurd laughter.

"Hahahaha, is the emperor of the Song Kingdom lost his mind?"

Yelude beat his chest and abdomen heavily, and said with a smile, "Ten thousand taels of gold, and a thousand pairs of cattle and sheep, I want to borrow my brave generals from Daliao to suppress their rebellion, why don't you just go back and tell your emperor, Daliao is willing to borrow ten Wan Jingbing, help him govern the country, see if he is willing?!"

When the other ministers in the court heard this, their laughter became louder.

However, the new emperor of Liao Kingdom, sitting on the throne with a face as gray as iron, did not laugh with them, but carefully studied the letter.

Some people watched their words and expressions, and gradually stopped laughing.

Wu Yanguang took a step forward and said first: "Your Majesty, we have spies sending news that the rebels in the Song Kingdom have actually been forced to flee around by the emperor's soldiers and horses, and the rear is empty. Their emperor's victory It is just around the corner, but such a letter is sent, it may be another conspiracy."

The new emperor said: "Do you still remember the person who rescued Han Shizhong that day?"

Wu Yanguang said: "I heard that Han Shizhong has also become a member of the rebels. It should be Guan Luoyang's subordinates who rescued him."

"good."

The new emperor said, "He only sent one of his subordinates, who can rescue Han Shizhong in front of us. Even if such a person raises troops too fast, has a shallow foundation, has an empty rear, cherishes his reputation, and is a bit stupid strategically, as long as he If you haven't died yet, who can feel at ease?"

Wu Yanguang suddenly said: "So the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not hesitate to borrow a general from me, Daliao, just to increase the certainty that that person will be inescapable and completely defeated."

Yelude remarked: "In this case, the longer they fight, the more beneficial it will be to Daliao. A mere ten thousand taels of gold is not worth mentioning in such a big event, and we should stand by and watch."

The new emperor smiled: "Standing on the sidelines, being too conservative, is the work of mediocrity. My warrior must dare to create greater opportunities. He has an absurd heart to ask. Could it be that there is no hero in the court to respond bravely?"

The military generals of the Liao Kingdom knew that this was their Taizu Emperor. After getting along with him for a while, they were deeply impressed by his courage. Just hearing this few words at this moment, they were full of blood.

All the generals asked for orders immediately, and Wu Yanguang's voice was thick and loud, overwhelming everyone.

The new emperor said with a smile: "It is precisely because Aiqing goes to take on this important task."

Afterwards, he ordered his generals personally, and below Wu Yanguang, there were fourteen generals including Ali Qi, Song Mingyu, Tian Shanyong, etc. They made some preparations and set off overnight.

Wu Yanguang was bestowed with the cracking Tang whip by him.

This iron whip is five feet eight inches long, with twelve knots, a wolf's head engraved on the hand guard, and two natural green crystals in the wolf's eyes. The handle is like a wolf's body. It was originally a personal weapon of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji. , Inherited for 200 years, it has been sacrificially refined by the clan masters of the past dynasties and the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. It is a first-class treasure of the Liao Kingdom.

Although Yelu Yanxi was fatuous and incompetent, relying on the three-point power of this treasure to protect him, Yelu Dezhong and others did not dare to act rashly until their "Emperor Taizu" came.

Wu Yanguang didn't expect that he could get this treasure, she was so grateful, after hearing a few words from the new emperor, he received a reply letter from the new emperor, and took people away that night.

For these people, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day is just a matter of nostalgia. With the envoys of the Song Dynasty leading the way, they went all the way unimpeded and went faster than the messengers came. When they met the absurd Song Emperor, they were told , Hanging up some official positions of the Song Army and listening to them in front of the account.

The next day, the army marched to Bianliang in mighty strength.

Ever since he was transferred back to the frontier army, the emperor has been hiding his identity. Even the ceremonial guards and banners representing the emperor have not been ordered to be remade and displayed, but this time, he no longer hides.

Wherever the army passed by, no matter day or night, there were vaguely five-color clouds surging in the sky, especially in the morning before sunrise and after sunset, the five-color clouds were shining, extremely gorgeous, and the morale was extremely high.

Until they came to the wasteland in the morning of this day.

According to the map drawn by the imperial court, here should be a plain where tens of thousands of cavalry can run unscrupulously.

But now, there is actually a row of mountain peaks neatly arranged there, all of which are less than a hundred feet high, but the peaks of the mountains are extremely steep, standing there neatly.

The closer the soldiers of the three armies got, the more majestic and discordant the shadows of those mountain peaks would appear.

The formation of the mountain is not that nature moves some soil from other places, and it is considered to be formed when it is placed in this pile, but the long evolution of the earth, which originates from the deformation of the deep underground, breaking, uplifting, and lifting on the surface. Form various hilltops.

Mountains have roots.

There is a foundation that people can take for granted and can be seen naturally, but these mountains do not have it!
On the edge of these mountain peaks, there is a ring of soil that is obviously arched, which is the trace formed by the heavy weight, and the trace is even very new.

The soil slopes in that circle are generally only a few feet high, and the soil is still moist, and there are a lot of fresh, green grass roots that have not lost their vitality, mixed in it.

Such abrupt mountains, the closer they got, or even just ten miles away, it made people feel as if they would fall down at any time, and they might even roll over while maintaining their complete appearance.

Before anyone issued an order, the marching speed of the army became slower and slower, and the horseshoes were dull and dense until they almost stopped.

Everyone stared blankly at the man-made natural danger.

If it were mountains created by nature, they would probably have moved forward calmly by now.

One or two mountain peaks can be bombarded with artillery fire, and three or four mountain peaks can be disintegrated with Taoist officials casting spells and taking some time.

No matter how bad it is, you can turn over and pass through. Anyway, mountains are just dead objects. Things like landslides and mudslides have their limits after all, and they can only be part of the mountain.

but now……

These mountains have proven that they all move!

A rootless mountain is terrifying, and what is even more terrifying is people's associations. The mountain has violated the common sense of heaven and earth, so what is in the mountain, and what is behind the mountain?

Whether it's soldiers, generals, Yao Pingzhong, or Wu Yanguang, they all had a lot of expectations about this war.

Those expectations either make them look forward to, or make them nervous, or start from their self-confidence, or come from their caution.

But no matter which one, in the imagination of Wu Yanguang and others, it should be able to make their blood slowly heat up.

But they never imagined that this war, the two sides seemed to have met, and the moment it was about to start, it would be like this.

silence.

In this silence, Wu Yanguang suddenly began to examine a question.

In the past, under the luck system of the imperial dynasty, the imperial court often targeted individual masters from the mind, polluted by the vast and boundless world of mortals, gathered the minds of the army, and impacted their spirits.

This kind of method is actually very difficult to kill individual masters, but it will pollute the purity of the immortal way, induce hidden dangers in the evil way, and suppress the mana of the leftist way, so it often ends with the individual masters actively retreating and avoiding.

After the revival of the magic way, everyone has a consensus.

Under the command of a general who has stepped into the treasure bone gods and demons, no master can defeat more than [-] demon soldiers with his own strength.Even if that general just barely stepped into this level.

Therefore, if any master wants to do things that affect the overall situation of a country, he needs to rely on the army. They can be an indispensable part of the army, they can be the most important sharp edge, but they cannot be completely equal to the army.

The sense of existence of the strong has always been in a position that is both important and not important enough. They all grew up in such an environment, and their subconscious minds also recognize this position.

So far, no one has ever seen a top powerhouse who is serious, not anxious, and not eager to prepare for "one man against ten thousand troops", how far can he make his preparations?
People who have other choices are often not willing to risk their lives for this kind of temptation.

People who have no other options often don't have the opportunity to make preparations, and because they don't have previous experience, they don't necessarily know where the preparation should be done, prepare the elixir?Ready for magic?
Today, a person who is not a fairy, not a demon, and not heretics finally showed them the answer.

——If you don't see your real body, the three armies stop!

In this silence, the gauze curtain of the imperial chariot the emperor was sitting on moved, and a low-volume order came out.

This order was relayed, one to one, one to ten, ten to a hundred, the volume changed from flat to high-pitched, and the emotion also climbed from silence to boiling.

"Create the mountain and march."

"Create the mountain! March!"

"Open the mountain!!!"

The army advanced again, and the wasteland trembled under the hoofs of the horses.

The luck of the dynasty and the turbid qi of the demonic path converged into a huge black cloud, covering the sky and the sun, and within the black cloud, there were colorful rays of light.

Yao Pingzhong suddenly screamed, and flew up into the sky involuntarily, only feeling that the luck and skill in his body were blending with the black clouds and colorful lights outside, and a force that was many times bigger than himself passed through his body , brought a load of severe pain that deformed his facial features and made him scream silently.

He is like a pipe, trying to temporarily shape intangible and intangible things into a fixed form, but his pipe is too fragile and far from enough.

As a result, several powerful generals around Yao Pingzhong also flew up, and then Tian Shanyong and others from the Liao Kingdom also flew into the sky one after another.

That day Shanyong's Dharma image of Jundali Ming King, who was intensively cultivated, just emerged from behind, but was distorted by the turbulent black cloud and turbidity, and lost its original form. come out.

Wu Yanguang, who was the only one who was still on the ground, sensed that something was wrong, and the cracked Tang whip in the brocade bag on his back twitched, shaking away the luck of the Song army attached to him not long ago.

But he was too close to the emperor's chariot.

As soon as the cracked Tang whip was raised, the tip of the whip was grasped by a hand protruding from the gauze curtain.

"General, you are a general I borrowed specially, how can you back down in battle?"

"you……"

Wu Yanguang only felt an incomparable force coming from the iron whip, throwing him high into the sky.

Colorful light and black clouds and turbid air poured in one after another.

Many generals are connected in the air to form a human-like frame. With Wu Yanguang as the head, the evil spirit and royal luck can finally be mixed and attached to this frame.

The height of the emperor's dharma image has swelled to fifty feet, and directly below is the emperor's real chariot.

The extremely spacious black dragon robe hung down from the body of the emperor Faxiang, and the hem was connected with billowing black fog, lingering among the entire army.

When the army charged and approached the peaks in front, this huge Dharma statue controlled the turbidity of the entire army, and suddenly leaned forward.

That Faxiang lowered his two big hands, each picked up a few carts of shells from the army, one step ahead of the vanguard, and smashed them on the two mountain peaks in front.

Several carts of shells dedicated to the Dragon King Zun Cannon were directly detonated by these two giant palms. The power of the explosion mixed with the crushing force of the giant palms turned into a huge impact force, pushing down the two tens of feet high mountains, Broken into huge waves of sand, rolling forward.

If bombardment is used alone, it will never be so detailed.

There is another mountain in the middle of these two peaks.

The emperor Faxiang clasped his palms together, and pushed forward. Purely by the power of Faxiang, the mountain was lifted off the ground, shattered in mid-air, and flung forward.

After removing these three peaks, a gap barely accessible to cavalry was opened.

The rubble and wrecks spread in front of them are enough to climb up or avoid them with the riding skills of elite magic soldiers.

The emperor's portrait had already seen Guan Luoyang holding the wine jar with one hand and drinking at the end of the thick dust.

It's just a mountain peak, no matter how much preparation you make, it's just mud and rotten stones that are trampled under your feet.

Others will scare themselves because of the supernatural power soaked in the mountains, and they will have the illusion of living mountains.

But I won't...

"The green mountains are like paper, not enough to make your armor, Guan Luoyang, I'm here to kill you."

The right palm of the emperor's Faxiang stretched forward, his whole body was filled with turbid air, his arms were stretched to the extreme, and his palm swelled even more ferociously, and he slashed it away.

The turbid air of the cavalry below was united as one, like a pig iron city wall being pushed horizontally, and it was about to rush to Guan Luoyang.

Guan Luoyang stretched forward the hand that was not grasping the wine jar.

Suddenly, dark blue balls flew out from the ground, piercing through the floating soil on the surface, penetrating the gravel and sand that had been sprinkled on the ground just now, and flying towards his palm.

The dark cyan round beads are four in a row, from left to right.

In addition to the three peaks that were shattered by the emperor's dharma just now, there is also a round bead flying out from under a mountain to the west.

Just as the four balls flew out, four large pieces of the ground sank at the same time.

Who would have imagined that there would be a pit trap right under the mountain peak? !

These four hills can stand on the ground, thanks to Guan Luoyang's four blue magic beads, which can control gravity and keep them from falling.

It took 72 days and nights in Bianliang City, without sleep, to practice eight magic beads, four of inaction, and four of blue falling.

The Blue Falling Magic Bead made a great contribution in one fell swoop, and all the magic cavalry who were galloping on the ground fell to the ground.

The four magic beads spun in Guan Luoyang's palm, like a circle of deep blue hollow round wheels, facing the giant palm of the dharma figure in the air.

There was a loud bang, and the huge body of Fa Xiang fell back.

"The green hills are like paper, it's just a gauntlet to invite you in."

Guan Luoyang broke the wine jar and laughed loudly.

"You short-sighted people, come on, today I will beat all of you!!"
