This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 196: Water from the Yellow River Comes Up from the Sky!Destroy the alien army!

After leaving Jinting Mountain, Li Qing led many students all the way into Li Country, heading for Li Country's imperial capital.

Liguo was the first stop of his study tour, and although Liguo's style of writing was not as strong as Zhouguo's, with the reforms after Emperor Liyang ascended the throne, scholars were gradually being valued.

However, due to the fact that Li Guo often waged wars with foreign countries, the status of generals is very high, and ordinary people are more interested in joining the army.

Li Qing had figured out these situations as early as the last time he was on a mission abroad, so this time it was much more convenient.

Chengtang Pass is the largest pass in the east of Liguo.

It is also the gateway fortress to the east of the country.

If Li Qing wanted to enter Liguo, he had to go through Chengtang Pass, but this time it was not so easy.

Inside the carriage, Kong Xiangde and Li Qing were analyzing the information he knew and the situation at Chengtang Pass.

"Chengtangguan is the east gate of Li Kingdom. The generals guarding here, Daoye and Brother Li, you are considered to be from the same family. Their surname is Li, and their name is Li Jing."

"This person is a well-known general in the Li country, and he is also a well-known fighter and diehard."

"He was one of the initiators of the war launched against me last time, and he can be said to be a militant."

"The last time we left the country as a diplomatic mission, there was a general called Li Dangxian who came to welcome us. This person is Li Jing's eldest son."

Kong Xiangde said to Li Qing, with worry on his face.

Last time they had the status of envoys of the state of Zhou to protect them, and they were given off by the other party; this time they don't have that level of official status, and it must be difficult to get in.

Li Qing smiled after hearing this, and comforted him: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so don't worry too much."

"At the end of the day, we are just a group of scholars studying abroad. We have normal guides and documents. Why can't we enter Chengtangguan? They have no reason to refuse."

Li Qing's idea was very simple, they just went in as ordinary people, how could the other party drive them away?

Liguo is a big country second only to Qianguo, if he refuses people from other countries to enter the country for no reason, it will also damage Liguo's face.

Of course, the most important point is that he came to Liguo to spread Confucianism and Taoism, and to confer academic titles on Liguo scholars.

He believed that the mighty Emperor Liyang would not reject such a thing that was beneficial to the country.

……

And at this moment, inside the city gate of Chengtang Pass.

Li Jing, the guard of Chengtang Gate, was on the top of the city gate, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back and his eyes squinting, expressionless.

Standing beside him was a burly young general, it was Li Dangxian who greeted Li Qing last time.

A scout trotted up to the city gate, and then cupped his hands to report: "Report to the general, Li Qing and his party are only fifteen miles away from Chengtang Pass!"

Hearing the scout's report, Li Jing just looked away and asked, "How many of them are there?"

"About 200 people!"

Li Jing nodded, and then directly ordered: "Close the city gate, and don't let them in!"

"promise!"

The lieutenant on the side nodded in response, and then left.

Li Dangxian couldn't help asking: "Father, should we just keep them outside? Wouldn't this be a little bad?"

"The imperial court has not responded yet. If they leave because of this, His Majesty will blame you..."

Li Jing said indifferently: "What is the blame? The reason why the city was closed was because spies from other countries were found in the city, so the city gates were closed to prevent the spies from escaping."

"If they leave, that's their business, and it has nothing to do with Ben."

Li Dang first understood what his father meant.

This is intended to shut the other party's door and force them to leave, while also avoiding conflicts.

Li Jing looked outside the pass, the convoy belonging to Li Qing and his party could barely be seen now.

"He is a native of the Zhou Kingdom, and he is also a vassal king with a different surname. He has worked tirelessly to come to my country to preach, confer titles on scholars in my country, and strengthen my strength?"

"If he really had such a good intention, why didn't he do it as early as the beginning? Must wait until now?"

Li Jing sneered, he didn't believe that Li Qing'an had good intentions, in his opinion, Li Qing had other plans.

So he will never allow Li Qing to enter the country to preach!

That is to say, it is still unclear what Emperor Liyang meant, so he used this method to prevent the other party from entering the customs.

Otherwise, he would have sent troops to expel them long ago!

No matter how famous Li Qing is, what does it have to do with him?If he hadn't been concerned about the other party's status as the vassal prince of Zhou, he would have wished to directly use the army to keep him behind!
After taking a deep look at the direction of the convoy, Li Jing snorted coldly, turned around and walked down the city gate.

……

The convoy soon arrived not far from Chengtang Pass, and they also saw the closed city gate.

"Why is the gate closed?"

Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned deeply, hesitated for a moment, and said to Wang Xin beside him, "Shouyi, come with me to investigate."

"it is good!"

Naturally, Wang Xin would not refuse, and the two rode forward.

But when there were still about a hundred steps away from the closed wall, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced through the air!

"Beware!"

Wang Yan's complexion changed slightly, and he pulled Wang Xin, who wanted to move on, and pulled him back.

Fortunately, this arrow was not aimed at them, but landed a few steps away in front of them, pierced deeply into the ground, and its tail feathers trembled endlessly.

At the same time, a cold voice came from afar.

"Fortress! Stop those who come!"

The two looked up one after another. It was a general on the wall who was talking, looking down at them indifferently.

Wang Xin has a rather impulsive personality. When he saw that the other party was actually shooting an arrow at him, he wanted to go up and yell at him, but he was stopped by Wang Yan.

Wang Yan took out the guide and the document from his bosom, and said loudly: "General, we are scholars who came from Zhou State and are studying abroad."

"There is still a guide here for the document, please general open the city gate and let my wife enter."

He spoke and spoke very politely.

However, upon hearing his words, the general remained unmoved, and said coldly: "A spy from another country has been found in the city, and they are now searching with all their strength, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Wang Xin became angry when he heard this, and stepped forward and said: "Nonsense! You obviously closed the city gate when you saw us coming! You are discriminatory!"

"My husband wants to enter the country of Li to preach to the literati in the country of Li. How can you bear the responsibility for acting like this?!"

The gates of the city were still open before they came.

And when they get close, it closes.

This clearly does not want them to go in!
"Bold!"

The general was furious when he heard the words. He waved his hand, and there was a sound of bowstring tightening on the wall.

Hundreds of archers aimed at Wang Yan and Wang Xin!

The general said angrily: "Retreat now, and I will spare you from dying; if you dare to step forward again, this general will definitely shoot you into a sieve!"

With Wang Xin's strength at the Hanlin level, how could he be afraid of mere bows and arrows?Immediately continue to sneer.

But Wang Yan firmly held him down.

Then he didn't speak, and turned back with Wang Xin.

"Third brother, what are you doing? Why don't you let me scold them, they are clearly trying to make things difficult for us!"

"It's just a bow and arrow, it can't hurt me at all, why are you afraid of them?"

Wang Xin was still very upset on the way back.

He didn't understand why Wang Yan wanted to stop him from arguing, or give these people some color.

"Stupid! You want Mr. to be blamed for others? You don't know how to put the overall situation first!"

Wang Yan yelled at Wang Xin.

"Even though we know they are embarrassing us, but this is their territory, what can you do?"

"You have to know that we are the disciples of the master, if any trouble arises, we will have to let the master solve it in the end!"

"The most important thing is that they are caught by Li Guo, and they have even more reason to refuse Mr. entry!"

Wang Xin was stunned by Wang Yan's scolding.

He was only angry just now, so he didn't think so much.

"Then what shall we do now?"

Wang Xin said with a depressed face, now that the city gates are closed to prevent them from entering, it is clear that they are not welcome to see them.

In his opinion, since they are not welcome to leave the country, why bother to preach?
A hot face sticks a cold butt.

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Go back and tell your husband first, and then see what he plans to do."

After finishing speaking, he and Wang Xin rode back to the team.

After Li Qing and the others learned the specific situation from Wang Yan, they were neither angry nor annoyed.

"In this case, let's take a rest outside the pass and rectify, and wait for them to open the city gate."

Li Qing said, intending to continue to wait.

Since the other party didn't open the city gate and said they wanted to search for spies, then they waited slowly for the other party to finish the search.

After hearing Li Guo's attitude, many disciples felt extremely aggrieved in their hearts.

But since Li Qing said to wait outside, they didn't say anything, and found a sheltered place to camp and cook.

The generals on the wall saw all this.

Then he reported the matter to Li Jing.

The general's mansion in the city.

"General, now that Li Qing and his party are stationed outside the pass, it seems that they have no intention of leaving."

"They seem to want to wait for us to open the city gate."

The general reported truthfully.

Li Jing was reading military books in the study, and after hearing this, he took a sip of tea, and then said: "If they want to wait, let them wait, but the old man wants to see how long they can wait."

"Pass down the order that the gates of the city will not be opened for one month!"

"understand!"

The general nodded again.

……

Li Qing and others stayed outside the city for ten days.

Ten days passed, and there was still no sign of opening and closing the gate of Chengtangguan. During the period, people were sent to ask, and the answers given were that they were still searching for spies and could not open the city gate.

Many disciples couldn't hold back and begged Li Qing to give up preaching in other countries and go directly to other countries.

But Li Qing was unmoved and still waited.

And during this time, the news that Li Qing and others arrived at Chengtang Pass also spread in the pass.

"What? Master has already arrived outside the pass?"

"It seems to have arrived ten days ago, but the general doesn't seem to let it go, and has been closing the city gate to prevent entry."

"That's unreasonable! Master came to preach for my scholars in Dali, why don't you let Master enter my Dali?"

"Martial arts are vulgar and narrow-minded!"

"No, if you continue to despise Master like this, if Master leaves, we will lose the opportunity to practice Confucianism and Taoism!"

"Oh! Stupid! Really stupid! Master preaching is extremely important to me, how can you be so contemptuous!"

"We can't sit idly by!"

……

The scholars in the pass were very angry when they heard that Li Qing was locked outside and could not come in.

If Li Qing could not come to Liguo to preach, they would have lost the opportunity to practice Confucianism and Taoism. From then on, Liguo would always lag behind other countries in terms of literature and Taoism!

Soon they organized and went to protest outside the general's mansion together, demanding to open the city gate and welcome Li Qing in. The number of protesters reached as many as a thousand.

Outside the city guard's mansion, the shouts shook the sky.

"We're going to protest! We're going to be protesting!"

"Why did Old General Li prevent Master from entering the customs to preach? Master's preaching is beneficial and harmless to me!"

"Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the master!"

"If the master leaves because of this, we will definitely go to the imperial city to complain! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Please, General Li, open the city gate and let him go!"

……

Many scholars gathered together and kept shouting loudly, asking Li Jing to open the city gate and let him go.

A circle of soldiers formed a human wall outside the general's mansion.

They have weapons in their hands, but facing so many literati who are powerless, they dare not use their swords to see blood. After all, some of them have really extraordinary backgrounds.

Moreover, it is also taboo for generals to use swords against literati.

These literati just gathered a crowd to protest and did not do anything against the law, so they can't do anything casually.

When Li Jing heard the report from the housekeeper, he was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand.

"A group of rotten Confucians who are stupid in reading!"

"Don't they know that Li Qing is my enemy! It's so stupid!"

Li Jing was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he was furious.

In his eyes, those outside who spoke for Li Qing were a bunch of idiots, they didn't know what was going on in their minds!
"Then father, what should we do now?"

Li Dangxian was also very embarrassed when he heard the protests coming from outside the mansion, and couldn't help asking.

Li Jing's face was cloudy, and then he directly ordered: "You take five thousand Qingqi out of the city, and drive Li Qing and those guys away. You can use force if necessary!"

"Don't be afraid to see blood!"

Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Dangxian was startled and said, "Father, do you really want to use force to drive him away?"

"The last time I came into contact with Li Qing, my bones are very hard, I'm afraid I won't be easily scared off..."

Li Dangxian was deeply impressed by the last meeting.

Because at that time he led tens of thousands of cavalry, Li Qing didn't change his face, and even spoke angrily.

Even he has to admire this courage.

But admiration is nothing but admiration, Li Qing is the chief culprit that caused the loss of Li Guo's fortune, and is Li Guo's enemy.

"Bone hard?"

Li Jing smiled coldly when he heard this, the eyes of this lifelong veteran were full of disdain, and he said indifferently: "Then let's see if his bones are hard, or my Dali cavalry is harder!"

Li Dangxian was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't know how to refute.

He heard that Li Qing had suppressed a million barbarians. It would be too small to underestimate a strong man of this level with five thousand cavalry.

Li Jing glanced at his son, seemed to know what he was thinking, and said coldly: "After all, he has the identity of a Zhou Guozhen demon king, so he dare not do anything."

"If he makes a move, it just gives me the opportunity to leave the country and go to war."

Even if Li Qing is no longer an official in the state of Zhou.

But he was also a vassal king of Zhou with a different surname.

There is no way to change this.

If he took action to slaughter Zhou's army, Li Guo would just have another reason to go to war.

So he concluded that Li Qing didn't dare to do anything!

"The child takes orders!"

Li Dangxian didn't say anything more, and after taking the order, he turned around and left Comfortable, and went to deploy troops.

……

Not long after, a group of light cavalry came out in a single file, left Chengtang Pass in a mighty way, swept up the yellow sand all over the sky, and rushed towards the convoy where Li Qing and others were.

The convoy was stationed less than one mile away from Chengtang Pass, and many Confucian scholars were shocked to see thousands of cavalry galloping towards them.

However, the army stopped about [-] steps away from them, and thousands of cavalry lined up in front of the convoy.

The clanging of swords and soldiers was chilling.

Li Dangxian covered his face with iron armor, raised his halberd and immediately stepped forward, and said coldly: "The general has an order, suspecting that there are spies from other countries hidden among you, you are not allowed to enter the customs, and retreat quickly!"

His tone was cold and stern, full of murderous intent, as if he would strike directly if there was a disagreement.

And these words also aroused the anger of everyone!
"Nonsense! How can I be a spy when I came from thousands of miles away to preach with my master?!"

A Confucian scholar stepped forward and said angrily.

As soon as the words fell, another person stood up and scolded: "You say that you can't open the gate of the city to catch spies, but now you are framing us as spies, it's ridiculous!"

It's been a full ten days outside in the wind and sun.

I thought the other party would open the city gate.

Who knew that the other party would actually send a large army out to drive them away, and even said that they were spies from another country!

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

The other party has gone too far!
Li Qing had already stepped out of the carriage at this time, and immediately frowned upon seeing such a scene.

He thought that the other side closed the city gate just to make things difficult, but he didn't expect to send troops to expel them now.

"As expected."

Kong Xiangde seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was no exception. He sighed helplessly, and then said to Li Qing, "Let me solve it. Brother Li, it's not convenient for you to come forward."

Li Qing's identity is still very sensitive after all.

And if Li Qing had to come forward for everything, then what's the use of them?It's better to stay in Zhou State.

Kong Xiangde walked out from the crowd, beckoned everyone to be calm, then looked at Li Dangxian and said, "General, you say we are spies from another country, do you have evidence?"

He had a smile on his face, but no anger.

Li Dang recognized Kong Xiangde first, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he said again: "I will repeat it again, leave now, and you can get out of your body!"

This is already an ultimatum.

Kong Xiangde was not afraid, put his sleeves together, and after sweeping away the terrifying [-] cavalry, he said with a sarcasm, "Is this how Liguo treats guests?"

"Or, the general thinks that just [-] cavalry can handle our [-] Confucianism cultivators at will?"

Following Kong Xiangde's voice fell.

Awe-inspiring righteousness swept out!

The other party's unreasonable attitude also made Kong Xiangde angry, so he chose to show his strength!
Li Qing couldn't make a move, but why couldn't they?
The opponent has already bullied the head!
"Array!!"

Seeing this, Li Dangxian ordered sharply without hesitation, with a fiery fighting spirit in his eyes.

He had heard early on that Confucianism Cultivators had been born in the Zhou Kingdom, who used words to fight enemies and kill people.

Now he wants to see how powerful knowledge is!
Before leading the troops over, Li Dangxian had already kept an eye out, and preset a distance of [-] steps as the charge speed.

After he gave an order, all the cavalry reined in their horses and began to charge directly!
"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River is coming from the sky!"

Kong Xiangde suddenly took out a poem from his bosom, and then chanted loudly, the Royal Envoy's great righteousness inspired it!
Is going to drink!

In fact, Kong Xiangde could choose to let everyone fight together. With the strength of two hundred Confucianism cultivators who are at least Juren level, it is a breeze to kill five thousand cavalry in this area!
It can be slaughtered directly as soon as the sword is fired!
But after all, this is within Li Country, and the opponent is Li Country's main army. If he kills them, then they will definitely not be able to enter Li Country, and will be hunted down instead.

Because of this, Kong Xiangde did not choose to resort to verbal swords, but to use war poems!

The article about entering the wine shined brightly in the sky, and then turned into a turbulent river, falling from the sky!

"what?!"

This scene shocked Li Dangxian directly.

A big river appeared out of thin air, it was like a miracle, he had never seen such a sight before!
"boom--!"

The water of the Yellow River fell from the sky, and with unparalleled power, it directly swept all the cavalry into it!
The impact of the five thousand cavalry is certainly impressive.

But in the face of the force of nature, how can it be compared?
Many cavalry troops were washed to pieces, everyone became drowned, and the outside of Chengtang Pass turned into a swamp of water!
After defeating all the cavalry, the paper became normal again and returned to Kong Xiangde's hands.

He didn't even give full play to the power of the poems and articles, and he showed mercy, otherwise none of them would survive.

Many Confucianism cultivators present were still safe and sound, but Li Dangxian and many other cavalry from the country turned on their backs, fell to the ground one by one, spitting water, or were dying.

"But so."

Kong Xiangde said with a cold snort, feeling very contemptuous of the overreaching of this group of cavalry.

Many Confucianism cultivators were extremely excited.

This is the fighting power of their Confucianism Cultivators!
A poem article can defeat an army!
What an amazing power this is!
This scene was clearly seen by the soldiers on the city wall of Chengtang Pass, and all of them couldn't help but widen their eyes!

"This, how is this possible!"

The former generals named Sad Wang Xin and Wang Yan were pale, staring at the scene outside the city.

He couldn't believe what he saw!
A total of five thousand elite cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, it was washed away by a sudden big river!It's incredible!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it was real!
How can a person conjure up a river?
"Is this... the ability of Confucianism cultivators?"

The general muttered to himself, looking at Li Qing's convoy outside the city, he was already filled with fear.

It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like if such a scene appeared on the battlefield, it could directly determine the outcome of a war!

"No, you must report to the general immediately!"

The general reacted quickly, then gritted his teeth, turned and left the pass wall, and headed for the city guard's mansion.
