Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 418
The sun shines on the clouds and mists in the mountains, and the bells of the Wanfo Temple are still echoing behind.

Chen Yuan stood in front of the cliff on the side of the stone steps and looked into the distance, slightly dazed. The monk Zhenhai had already left the temple and went down the mountain to the northwest, and the old monk Zhenkong presided over the temple and no longer received visitors.

Monk Zhenhai took down the toad demon in the past, and it was not a big problem, so should he go back to the temple of the true king, or go and have a look?
He hesitated for a while.

"Boss, why don't you just go back to Zhenjun Temple? Wei Guo's army is going south, maybe it's already started at this time. Whether Chen Qingzhi can return to the south is related to Kunlun mirror. I want to be 20 years younger in this way."

The fat Taoist sat on the stone pillar in the corridor, playing with boring stones, while the little Taoist boy beside him yawned and muttered that Wanfo Temple was stingy, and he couldn't bear to let them eat.

"Well, go back."

Chen Yuan nodded, and ran to the northwest to join in the fun. After thinking about it, it's okay. Feihe, Qingxu, and Zhenhai old monk are enough. They should be able to subdue the toad demon one step ahead of other cultivators.

From the purple golden bowl, he saw that the toad demon was extremely poisonous, probably due to its innate spells, if ordinary cultivators were infected, they might lose their lives.

Surrender first to avoid the casualties of those cultivators. This is what Chen Yuan has always considered, so he asked Zhenhai old monk to help.

Passing through the mottled sunlight in the forest, Chen Yuan took the fat Taoist and Xiaodaotong down to the market at the foot of the mountain. After dispersing the crowd of villagers watching Lao Niu, they paid the money and drove the car. At that time, Lao Sun gave Qingniu the speed movement spell, and Saha tried his best to drive the wheel, and rushed to Luoyang quickly under the cover of a blind spell.

In this way, it took nearly two days to reach the north bank of the Yellow River, a distance of tens of miles, and the roads were full of ragged people, dragging their families to the direction of the bridge.

After looking for one of them to inquire, I found out that the soldiers of Wei State and the generals of Liang State fought in Zhonglang City for two days. of.

"General Liang? Didn't Chen Qingzhi agree to call him sick in Luoyang?"

Chen Yuan looked at Lao Sun suspiciously, and when she was thinking about what was going on, a ripple suddenly appeared in Chen Yuan's heart, as if someone was calling his name.

……

Tens of miles away, twenty miles to the south of Zhonglang City, a group of soldiers in white robes rode on horseback or on foot.

"General, the Yellow River is almost here. I remember that there is a ferry there, maybe we can leave by boat."

Vice-general Ma Fonian was half-stained with blood, and he didn't know where he had dropped his iron helmet. He held up his notched long sword, pointed forward and said, "The general will cross the river with cavalry first, and the humble officer will go to stop the pursuers first."

Then with a loud cry, he took the soldiers who followed him closely, and went to the rear to exchange lines of defense with the broken team, blocking the enemy's advance little by little.

The sound of fighting and shouting boiled up.

Chen Qingzhi rode on the blood-stained white horse, glanced back in a slumped manner, turned around and pinched the horse's belly, and urged the horse to continue forward, at the same time, he also asked the messenger to call back the scattered cavalry.

If there is a ferry ahead, many soldiers can save their lives.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi sighed. Wei Guo's army marched south, surprised at his master's predictability, and followed his instructions, staying in bed and refusing to lead the army.

But the emperor Yuan Hao did not hesitate to tear his face and threatened the Liang soldiers outside the city. In the end, he still didn't dare to bet whether the emperor would really take a knife and slash at his subordinates outside the city. In Zhonglang City, just like that, Yuan Hao took a thousand soldiers as hostages.

With the number of [-], it has reached the limit to resist more than [-] soldiers for three days. After losing more than a thousand soldiers, Chen Qingzhi really couldn't fight, so this morning, he planted straw men on the city, and took advantage of the opponent's attack. Taking this opportunity, he led his troops to break out from the south gate.

Kill and scatter the Wei soldiers who pretended to attack the south gate, march while fighting, use the advantages of cavalry to cover and transfer with the infantry, although the march is much slower, at least the entire army can still maintain a complete organizational system, and the morale is not so low that it will collapse at the touch of a button the point.

wow wow wow...

The sound of the rushing water of the Yellow River could already be heard, Chen Qingzhi finally had a little expression on his face, and urged the soldiers to speed up again.

Soon, the river reflecting the spring was obviously sparkling, like a silver belt winding in front of the eyes.

The moment Chen Qingzhi saw the ferry, his eyes shrank immediately, he stopped his horse with a 'wow', and gritted his teeth and shouted: "What's going on?!"

The Liangqi who followed closely stopped, with despair on their faces. The ferry at the other end of the field of vision, the bridge was empty, not to mention the boat, not even half of the plank.

"General, there is someone here!"

A scout searched the ferry, and dragged out an old man from the grass. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he should be the boatman of the ferry.

"Old man, where is the boat here?"

"This general...general..." The old man was stared at by a group of cavalry, his legs were trembling with fright, and he stammered and pointed to the opposite bank, "Two days before you came, a group of Wei troops came over All the boats on the river were requisitioned, as if they were going to cross the river and attack Luoyang."

At this moment, Chen Qingzhi realized that he was just being dragged in the city, and the main force of the Wei army directly bypassed Zhonglang City, crossed the river and went to Luoyang.

"Old man, are there any other ferries nearby that have not been requisitioned?"

The old man shook his head, "Don't dare to lie to the general, even if there is, I have already run to the other side of the river when I heard that the Wei army conscripted the boat. return."

Chen Qingzhi fell silent, and waved to the old man, telling him to leave quickly, after all, the pursuers were about to kill him later.

"General..."

All the riders looked at Chen Qingzhi. The latter dismounted silently and walked to the river bank. Looking at the vast river, he pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

"General, Vice General Ma is back."

Someone shouted in the team, and in the direction they looked, Ma Fonian fled with one arm hanging down, lying on his horse's back with two thousand steps in a panic.

Among the fleeing crowd, some soldiers ran and threw themselves on the ground, making no sound, and some lost too much blood and slowed down, walking staggeringly, and then they were carried on the back by their familiar companions, and quickly followed the front team.

However, upon hearing the news that there was no ferry, almost everyone fell silent, and a breath of despair spread through the team.

"Shouldn't have come here."

"If you don't come here, what about Paoze in the barracks? The emperor in Luoyang might kill them!"

"It's better than everyone dying together!"

"At that time, we should fight to the death with that dog emperor!"

"stop fighting!"

At this time, Chen Qingzhi, who had been silent all this time, let out a loud shout, suppressing the humming noise.

"I have another way. I should be able to take everyone away."

Chen Qingzhi turned his head, took a deep breath, thrust the saber in his hand into the ground, and with a 'wow' sound, he bent his knees and half knelt on the ground, clasped his fists together, and faced the Yellow River.

"True Monarch Lingxian, Chen Qingzhi has something to beg, and I hope to open a way of life for our soldiers, and return to Jiangnan with our lives saved."

The white-robed army looked shocked. They knew that the general had a divine sword bestowed by an expert, and that he would definitely be able to invite an expert. After realizing it, they put down their weapons one after another, knelt down on the ground, imitated the appearance and words of their own general, and shouted .

"True Monarch Lingxian, please manifest your spirit and save me from crossing the river!"

The shouts of thousands of people joined together, and there was a buzzing sound in the distance. Amidst the rush of footsteps and the sound of horseshoes, the Wei State pursuers who came from north to south stopped at a high slope. The generals, Zhu Shilong and Gao Huan, were a little dazed when they saw the scene of kneeling in front of them.

"General Liang Guo is considered a good general, but what are they doing?" Gao Huan rode to Zhu Shilong's side and asked in a low voice.

The latter is also puzzled.

"Beware of cheating, first send a soldier to test it immediately, and then the army will cover up and kill them, and drive them down the Yellow River."

As soon as the word 'river' came out of his words, the sparkle of the river water in his eyes suddenly became dazzling, and a bad feeling grew in his heart.

At the end of his field of vision, Chen Qingzhi over there felt something inexplicably in his heart, as if the title he shouted had received a response. The next moment, a soldier kneeling behind him suddenly said, "Look, General, it's a boat!"

At this sound, all the people present raised their faces one after another, and followed the direction the soldiers pointed, white sails appeared on the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and tall buildings and boats came into view, breaking through the waves of the water and coming upstream.

"Where did the ship come from?"

Gao Huan and Zhu Shilong on the high slope in the distance were also shocked by this scene. Have all the ships in this area, regardless of size, been requisitioned?
"Send soldiers quickly, catch up and hold Liang Bing, don't let them board the ship!"

Zhu Shilong ordered to go down, and the cavalry who sent the order galloped up, waving the small flag in their hands.

……

On the bank of the Yellow River, large ships docked one after another, lowered the boarding stairs, how could Chen Qingzhi spend so much time, and called the whole army to board the ship quickly, loaded five ships, and the decks and cabins were packed to the brim.

As soon as the wooden ladder was closed, the five building boats slowly left the ferry, pressured by the turbulent water waves, and sailed to the other side of the river.

"Chase!"

"Don't let Liang Ren run away!"

Wei Guo rode two thousand paces and galloped there. He saw the big boat that had already gone to the center of the river, and his eyes fell on the other three big boats that did not make it to the ferry.

"Get on board!"

There were no boatmen on board, and they probably thought they had all gone to the five ships that left. The general Gao Xuan urged his soldiers who could sail to control the sails. After a while, three fully loaded boats followed Liang Bing in front.

Over there, Chen Qingzhi was the first to land on the bank, went up to the bank, looked around, and finally saw a familiar figure above the embankment.

"gentlemen!"

He hurried up with the weeds on the river bank, and knelt down in front of Chen Yuan with his hands clasped.

"Thank you Mr. Qing for saving me."

Chen Yuan nodded, asked him to get up, and pointed to the three building boats trailing on the big river, "Thank you for breaking the pursuers."

Suddenly he raised his hand, and his wide sleeves slapped.

Chen Yuan withdrew his mana, and in an instant, a gust of wind blew, and the three big ships sailing in the middle of the river suddenly shook violently. The sound of falling into the water sounded.

"what happened!"

Gao Xuan grasped the railing of the boat and tried to keep his feet steady. He was extremely terrified. As a northerner, he could swim, but facing the turbulent Yellow River, the water was not enough for him to swim to the shore.

Thoughts are still undecided.

Suddenly, there was nothing under the standing feet, and the whole person danced and fell down, falling into the rushing water waves with a group of soldiers.

In the eyes of Liang Bing who landed on the shore, a blue smoke flashed from the three building boats in the blink of an eye and turned into a branch. The two thousand Wei soldiers on the boat would fall into the water like dumplings and be directly covered by the rushing water waves. Went underwater, rushed to the distance...
