Chapter 57

"This is the deployment of troops in Chiyundu."

On a mandala in the wilderness, Zhao Mi watched the smoke in front of him change into lines of words, and wrote them down like flying, and heard Hengbi Gong's voice saying: "It's a pity that the main rudder of Yunyan is restricted, Isolate ghosts and spirits from prying eyes, and I have no way to find out what's going on inside. In addition, the aura of heaven and earth around Yunyan Peak is different, even if the mountains, rivers and land veins passed down by Tie Gong are in agreement, I can't connect them."

The so-called conformity of mountains, rivers and terrain is like maps and road guides in the world.For a city god, the mountains and rivers are roads, large and small, which are convenient for ghosts and spirits to use the land to escape.

Moreover, mountains and rivers also have places where yin and yang qi meet, similar to important passes, which need the protection of city gods to support Anzhen.If something goes wrong in these places, the yin and yang energy will flow out of order, which may cause all kinds of disasters.Duke Hengbi asked Zhao Mi to set up a mandala, basically in these places where yin and yang meet.

According to Mr. Hengbi, Panlong Mountain seems to be stretching across, but if it is divided according to the mountains and rivers, Yunyan Peak and the surrounding hills are self-contained. The fruit of business.

"However, I have found an earth cave otter monster." Heng Bigong said: "From their mouths, most of the monks in Chiyundu have left the main helm of Yunyan recently."

"Otter demon? Those monsters who assisted Chi Yundu in mining Yinghuo Stone?" Zhao Mi asked.

Mr. Hengbi said: "I have been instructed by Mr. Tie, and I have found this group of otter monsters. They are digging fluorescein for the purpose of digging warm caves for habitat, and they don't know about Chiyundu making swords. In the future, the otter monsters will cause troubles and offend the world, and I have laid down laws for them."

"Mr. Hengbi's plan is good, and Xiao Zhao admires it." Zhao Mi glanced at the troop layout he had copied at the same time, and muttered, "Why is Chiyundu's troop strength so much smaller? It's not even as good as the [-] official army?"

"I also heard from wandering souls wandering around the city that Chiyun has streamlined its soldiers and horses and let many people who had turned to the bandits to work in agriculture." Hengbi Gong said: "Chiyun is not blindly driving the people. There is no shortage of talented people.”

When Zhao Mi heard this, he couldn't help asking: "What does Lord Hengbi think of Chiyundu?"

"Have you ever heard of the three elders of Chiyun?"

"I've heard about it." Zhao Mi replied.

Mr. Hengbi said: "The three elders of Chiyun rescued countless civilians in troubled times, and their merits are very profound. The disciples of the professors should not be proud of their high achievements. Most of the three elders and their disciples are self-sufficient. I am very impressed.

Later, the three elders of Chiyun led millions of soldiers and civilians to join Huaxu Kingdom, which should have been a great blessing.However, the ministers of the court were very afraid of him, and scattered millions of soldiers and civilians to prevent them from gathering in one place.At that time, there were many disciples and soldiers in Chiyundu who were unwilling to disperse, so the king invited the three elders to Dongshengdu to discuss matters. "

"Xiao Zhao knew that Mr. Zhanming, one of the three elders of Chiyun, went to Dongshengdu alone. Unexpectedly, the court set a trap and was imprisoned by the Chongxuan Pavilion." Zhao Mi said.

"Oh? This matter is secret, and you know it?" Duke Hengbi was slightly puzzled.

Zhao Mi didn't intend to hide it: "Xiao Zhao had a conversation with monk Chi Yundu."

Mr. Hengbi seemed to be sighing: "Actually, Mr. Zhanming was not unexpected, otherwise he would not have gone to Dongshengdu alone, but there was still a glimmer of expectation in his heart. Later, Liang Tao suppressed him under Difei Mountain, killing his cultivation, It's a very inappropriate move to stir up the flames, I tried to persuade him several times, but Liang Tao was unmoved."

Zhao Mi also felt helpless, Huaxu Kingdom did this really unethically.They brought millions of soldiers and civilians to join them and voted for them. If they don't give high-ranking officials a generous salary, they won't even discuss specific matters. They want to imprison and suppress Mr. Zhanming.

"Huh?" Duke Hengbi suddenly asked suspiciously: "There is a turmoil in the direction of Gaoling County. I'm afraid the situation of the battle may change. I'll go and take a look."

Zhao Mi didn't have time to ask, so he had to clean up the altar, and then handed a letter to Jiang Ru: "This letter is sent to General Wei at the front line, and it contains the deployment of Chiyundu's troops."

Jiang Ru has been running around with Zhao Shu around Xingluo County recently, mainly to help him and deliver news, but when she heard Chi Yundu's military strength, she couldn't help but change her face: "Where did you get this kind of confidential military information?" here?"

"Mountain spirits and water monsters, lonely souls in barren mounds, wild gods in temples, and little forest demons, there are many people who can inquire about the news for me." Zhao Mi did not disclose his relationship with Duke Hengbi.

Jiang Ru obviously didn't believe it: "Do you think I'm a fool or a blind man? There is no evil spirit on the altar just now, and the people you summoned to drive away must not be goblins and ghosts!"

"You don't believe it." Zhao Mi spread his hands: "The battlefield is unpredictable, so you send someone to send it quickly. My news was originally just for General Wei's reference. The specific use of troops depends on others."

Jiang Ru had no choice but to hand over the letter to his subordinates, and then turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Your proposal to my young master last time, he was very satisfied. The Chongxuan Pavilion has borrowed a batch of grain, rice, cloth and silk from the neighboring counties. Relieve the difficulties of people's livelihood. He asked you if you have any other clever ideas."

"A clever plan? This is not a plan." Zhao Mi said: "If I have to say it, it is to ask Liang Shouzuo to contribute a little bit in the court, reduce and exempt Xingluo County's taxes in the next few years, and at the same time set up free warehouses in the local area. The government should also re-activate the leveling policy of the Tianxia Dynasty to stabilize the price of grain, rice, cloth and silk."

Jiang Ru smiled sweetly: "I'm curious, where did Zhao Fuli know so many laws and regulations?"

"I read it in the book. I used to work under Wang Juncheng, and I also learned a little from the official Cao Zuoli." Zhao Mi shook his head: "What I said is in general terms, and the details are still related to the work of officials. There are many descendants of the aristocratic family, and many of them should have become officials, so there is no need to ask me about these facts."

Jiang Ru said with a smile: "Those children from aristocratic families who have no chance of immortality, are wholeheartedly searching for money, asking for land and homes, what can we expect from them?"

Zhao Mi said: "If you want to find a virtuous person, you should not wait for the name of the virtuous person to be heard. If you really want to select talents from the children of the clan, you have to condescend to visit them in person to know the truth."

"It's a lot of work and effort." Jiang Ru said.

Zhao Mi almost laughed out loud: "I know, Mr. Liang wants to do nothing but do nothing but still hold the power. Maybe there is such a state, but forgive me for my incompetence, I really can't think of how to do it."

In fact, in Zhao Mi's view, people who practice immortality and Taoism may not be suitable for writing documents, especially monks like Liang Shuo who are taboo to associate with ordinary people.

But after thinking about it, Liang Shuo didn't seem to be the kind of monk who could endure loneliness. He probably wouldn't give up on the wealth of the immortal family in Chongxuan Hall.

Zhao Mi was still waiting for the chariots and horses to get ready, the talisman in his arms was trembling, and he heard Hengbi Gong's voice saying: "It's not good, the Chiyundu Divine Sword was born, and it defeated the imperial army with one sword!"

"Ah?" Zhao Mi yelled out in fright, but luckily he had already gone far away, so he quickly collected his thoughts and asked, "What happened?"

"The official army was attacking Gaoling County, but they were attacked by Chiyundu monks on the way. At first, the battle went smoothly, but then a man appeared with a sword in his hand, and the sword was invincible. After that, another army rushed out of Gaoling County. Kill the court officers and soldiers until they lose their helmets and armor!" Heng Bi said.

Zhao Mi broke out in a cold sweat: "So powerful is the Excalibur?"

Duke Hengbi continued: "I have received the souls of the soldiers on the battlefield. After some inquiring, I found out that the sword qi passed by and stirred up the wind and clouds. The soldiers fell down, the banners broke, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly shaken. Thousands of soldiers were beheaded with Qi, and most of the rest of the dead were not killed in battle, but were trampled to death in the chaos."

"Can it still be like this?" Zhao Mi calmed down a little, and asked again: "How far did Chi Yun chase?"

"More than ten li." Heng Bi said: "There are soldiers' corpses scattered here and there. Fortunately, General Wei built the camp in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the remnants."

Zhao Mi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Who is holding that sword?"

"I can't see it either." Hengbi Gong said with a trace of fear in his tone: "The divine sword has a murderous intent, and it is hard for ghosts and gods to get close."

"This is really troublesome." Zhao Mi was deeply disturbed. Now that the mandala has not been set up, the Excalibur is born first. The next step is not whether to continue to suppress the bandits, but to guard against Chi Yun. The power of the Excalibur forced the imperial army back!

Apart from uneasiness, Zhao Mi still had a bit of fear in his heart, which was an instinctive fear of great strength.

As a cultivator who practiced spells, Zhao Shu knew very well that the effects of spells depended on the power of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods.However, the weather of heaven and earth is uncertain, and under different circumstances and places, the effectiveness and power of spells are not absolutely consistent, and there may even be huge differences.

As for the kind of people who can move mountains and seas and destroy cities and armies by one person, not to mention the current world, there are very few people in ancient and modern times.Even if the Emperor Slaying the Dragon was fought in the dark, it still required a large number of practitioners and monks to set up countless ritual formations, use the artifacts of the previous court, and sword immortals like Donghai Hongxueke participated in it.

But now when he heard that someone was holding a divine sword and breaking the army alone, and he was his enemy, Zhao Mi couldn't help but feel fear.The idea that we can easily win by relying on our large numbers of people seems to have been completely smashed by the Excalibur.

"I would like to ask Mr. Hengbi to inform Mr. Liang about this matter." Zhao Mi also had to correct his thoughts: "The Chiyundu Divine Sword is extraordinary. I think it will be sent to the residence soon after it comes. Such a powerful enemy is no longer If we junior monks can handle it, we must invite the heads of all the houses to come."

……

"Hahahahaha! Happy! Really happy!!"

The Sanren of Dongzhang strode back to Gaoling County, most of the soldiers behind him were covered in blood, and I don't know how many enemy soldiers they killed.

"What kind of bullshit officers and soldiers can escape faster than rabbits. I thought Wei Xiuwen was so powerful, but he was incompetent and mediocre after all!"

"Are you happy?" Sang Huazi said from a distance: "Mr. Yang Liu called everyone, hurry up!"

The Sanren of Dongzhang flew over and slapped Sang Huazi heavily on the shoulder: "What? Stay in the city and watch us kill the enemy outside, are you unhappy?"

Sang Huazi shook the talisman fan lightly: "If it wasn't for the power of the divine sword to break the army, you would just harass the flanks. There are so many officers and soldiers, and you would not be so heroic if you chased and killed the fleeing soldiers."

"Hey! Don't worry about it, anyway, we won a big victory this time!" Dongzhang Sanren walked into the big tent, and saw Yang Liujun and the soldiers beside him pointing to several places on the map, either going forward to test or occupy the fortress. On the ground, several orders were quickly issued.

When the other soldiers left, Dongzhang Sanren hurriedly asked, "What about me? Where am I going?"

"You stay in Gaoling County." Yang Liujun said lightly.

"Why?!" Dongzhang Sanren carelessly said, "Now is a good time to continue the attack, how can you give up easily? The officers and soldiers are still more than ten miles away. If they are not completely driven away, everyone will not be able to sleep well and eat well." No food!"

"The officers and troops have retreated again." Yang Liujun said: "Before the battle started, I arranged for people to wait in cover outside that camp. Just now the news came from the White Palm Banner that Wei Xiuwen led the troops to continue to retreat. It seems that they are going to retreat. To Yuyang County."

"Yuyang County is Yuyang County!" Dongzhang Sanren slapped the table: "We now have a magic sword in hand, let alone a [-] army, even the city wall of Dongsheng Capital can be split into tofu! Hey! In the corner Fellow Daoist, don’t you think so?”

At the corner of the big tent, a short man in a cloak was standing with his sword in his arms, with a green face and fangs. The long sword in his arms was wrapped in a cloth towel, so that it never showed its edge.

The short man didn't respond, and the enthusiasm of Dongzhang Sanren fell into the void, and Yang Liujun next to him said: "This fellow Taoist is named Ji Yuanzi, and this time I rely on him to come to help in time. It's just that he doesn't like talking, so you don't want to." disturbed."

Sanren Dongzhang scratched his head and said, "Now that we have the divine sword in hand, don't we plan to continue attacking?"

"My goal is not just to kill ordinary soldiers." Yang Liujun said: "This time the Excalibur was born and Wei Xiuwen's retreat will definitely attract the attention of the court of Huaxu Kingdom. What the Excalibur really wants to kill is precisely the follow-up The first building in Xingluo County, especially Liang Tao."

"Hmph! It's not just the old man Liang Tao, it's better to go to Dongsheng Capital and kill that Yang Guozhu!" Dongzhang Sanren angrily said: "When the time comes, we will occupy Dongsheng and respect the three elders. Simply change the name of the country as well. Mr. Yang Liu, you will be the Hussar General, and I will be the Zhengxi General, and we will wipe out all the Xiong Kingdoms and Jiuli Kingdoms, and create a peaceful and prosperous world!"

"Enough!" Yang Liujun shouted, the big tent was swaying, he stared at Dongzhang Sanren and said: "Put away your bandit spirit in the past, Chi Yun is not a green forest bandit! Go to the quiet room to reflect, I didn't tell you not to come out!"

"I... yes." Dongzhang Sanren was stunned for a moment, then bowed his hands and turned away dejectedly.

Yang Liujun was silent for a long time, and said to Ji Yuanzi: "I'm letting you see a joke. Dongzhang's practice of "The Essentials of Flame Essence Transformation" is incomplete.

Ji Yuanzi remained silent, Yang Liujun sighed, turned his head to Sang Huazi and said, "Go and deliver me the elixir to him these days, and let him continue to recuperate from his injuries by the way."

"Dongzhang's injury..." Sang Huazi hesitated.

Yang Liujun shook his head lightly: "The body of Yanjing's body is biased in cultivation, but it has become a method of burning life essence. Last time Sanniukeng was seriously injured, I just barely suspended his Qi veins. He is very clear about his situation. I promised him that I would arrange a glorious battle for him. The future war will be more urgent, and he will naturally get what he wants."
