Romance of Gods

Chapter 212 Proclaiming Emperor ()

Then the two robe brothers reported that out of the twenty or thirty leaders, there were now only four or five left, responsible for temporary command.

In order to prevent the Ming army at the foot of the mountain from charging into the mountain on a large scale, all these stragglers were wiped out, and the remaining knights of the rivers and lakes were broken into pieces and scattered in the mountains to hide.

At this time, someone asked: "What about the God Actor? Where are the other God Actors?"

"Those gods who are with you? Huh!" A robe brother said with disdain: "Before, when the Ming army raided, those people saw that the enemy was coming fiercely, and we were leaderless here, so they all fled for their lives."

Mr. Ao Sanye said with a smile: "Time is also fate. We have overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers. It only takes one moment to bow before great things can be accomplished. These people run away in front of the battle. They have no chance of getting rich... Don't worry about them, you two." Go and call the others over, I have something big to announce."

"Yes! The boss!"

The two robe brothers walked away quickly. Shen Mengxi was helping Cao Chunhua treat her wounds. The others were not as optimistic as Mr. Ao Sanye.

After experiencing fierce life-and-death battles, the pills and other substances that they, the god actors, depended on for their survival had been exhausted.

At this moment, the other actors were scattered, and there was no source of supplements.

Although they found a shortcut to attack the city, with just a few of them, even if the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was within easy reach, they might not be able to make a comeback.

"Sister Cao, how did you get this injury? Why didn't Brother Chen come back with you?"

Cao Chunhua touched the aching wound, remained silent for a moment, and said calmly: "I accidentally got stabbed."

Mr. Ao Sanye burst out laughing at this time, "You don't have to worry. Brother Chen is staying in the city now to serve as our internal support. Whether big things can be accomplished or not depends entirely on Brother Chen!"

Shen Mengxi and Lou Huowang looked at each other, not suspicious, because the list showed that Chen Yan was still alive.

Moreover, Chen Yan has always had a changeable mind, so it is reasonable for him to suddenly change his plans.

At this time, everyone felt relieved when they heard that Mr. Ao Sanye was bound to win.

All I know is that Chen Yan and him devised some clever strategy that could reverse the situation.

At this time, other people arrived one after another. At one count, there were more than 200 people and less than 300 people, all wearing more or less colorful clothes.

The leaders were a few slightly unfamiliar faces, and the leader of the Beggar Clan, Dragon Snake, and others were all gone.

"Always keep your head up!"

"Master Ao!"

When everyone saw Master Ao, they were very excited and gathered around him.

Mr. Ao Sanye asked: "It turns out it's the Gu Gang Leader of the Shaquan Gang, the Qian Leader of Chongjian Mountain... Where are the Tuo Gang Leaders and the others?"

Leader Qian said in a low tone: "When we organized the dead soldiers to rush into the city before, all the seniors took the lead, and many people were killed and injured. After that, they were attacked by the thieves and soldiers, and the other leaders... ...Sigh! At that time, we thought that Mr. Ao Sanye had encountered something unexpected and his morale was low. Otherwise, how could you have been killed by those thieves and lost your armor. Now, Mr. Ao, you are back. Let’s straighten our morale and go down the mountain. Let’s fight those thieves for hundreds of rounds!”

After hearing this, Mr. Ao San sighed, clasped his fists and said: "Thanks to all the leaders, the whole army was not destroyed... I can't help you heroes. When the officers and soldiers raided me before, my injuries were not healed, so I was charged." We were separated. Thanks to these gods and men who sacrificed their lives to protect each other, we only managed to save one life. But luck and misfortune depend on each other, and God never stops people. During our escape, we discovered a huge secret! We can secretly sneak into Jinling City from this underground place at will. !”

"what!"

"Really?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Mr. Ao Sanye nodded slowly, "How can it be false? We just went to personally explore Jinling City and turned the Ming Emperor upside down!"

"it is good!"

"happy!"

The others cheered when they heard this and felt relieved.

"I estimate that Lao Wu and the others will be able to arrive at Aurous Hill by tomorrow afternoon at most. Then it will be the best time for us to destroy the city and seize the world. Of course, if we want to succeed, we have to rely on everyone. I have a plan, and I hope you can cooperate. "

Everyone was delighted to hear that Mr. Ao San had made a plan, and asked about the details of the plan.

Mr. Ao Sanye was silent for a moment, sorted out his words, and then slowly told everyone.

The plan is not complicated, and it was explained clearly in half a cup of tea.

"The third master asked us all to go into the city to ambush, what about you?"

Master Ao San said with a smile: "Of course I will continue to guard Qingliang Mountain and cooperate with you inside and outside. But don't worry, I, Ao San, will never leave Yazi to escape on my own. You may have other places to go, but I, the thief, now All we have to do is make a desperate move.”

This is natural. Although Mr. Ao San is the most scheming, there is no need to worry about him escaping from the battlefield. With his current status, there is no way out.

Being the eldest brother is naturally a pleasure, he eats well and drinks hot food, and responds to everything he calls, but when lightning strikes, the one who dies the fastest is also the one who dies the fastest.

Gu Gang Leader said: "Third Master is joking, but is it too dangerous for you to stay here alone?"

Mr. Ao Sanye became serious and said, "You can move freely by yourself. You don't have to worry about this. But after entering the city, you must be careful. There must be hawks and dogs in the city now. If you are careless, your head will be missing immediately. Remember, Everything is important to save your life.”

Lou Huowang and others remained silent, and now they could only place their bets on Ao Sanye's desperate plan.

After the instructions were completed, these people were divided into two teams, both led by several magicians. One team took the first step along the previous secret passage, while the other team opened a new secret passage.

Everyone worked together and moved quickly. Within half an hour, only Ao Sanye was left in the damp and cold mountain forest.

He walked up the mountain with his hands behind his back. When he reached the top of the mountain, he looked around. The previously overflowing river had calmed down. Surrounding the mountains was a large lake with irregular edges.

Broken orange-red torches were reflected sporadically on the dark lake, and the atmosphere was solemn and reassuring.

But under the calm conditions, murderous intent was everywhere. There were about five to six thousand officers and soldiers lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. They were all elite soldiers and strong generals.

Mr. Ao Sanye lit up a bag of cigarettes and started smoking. He had a far-reaching gaze and said in his heart: "From a mere beggar on the street who was about to die back then, to now the leader of all the heroes in the world, he is only one step away from the throne. How many people in the world have achieved such an achievement? Destiny is mine, and the final winner must be me, Ao San!"

At the same time, at the foot of the mountain and by the water, soldiers were building defenses in an orderly manner. Zhang Juzheng was slowly pacing among the crowd, his expression neither sad nor happy.

At this time, a deputy general came over, clasped his fists and asked, "Mr. Zhang Ge, are you going to send someone now to completely wipe out these remnants of the rebels?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "No need. After the heavy damage just now, these people's vitality has been severely damaged and they will never be able to survive again. Our biggest enemy now is the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to arrive in the capital and are bewitched by the rebels. If these people If people don’t handle it properly, it will cause endless harm.”

"Mr. Ge, we didn't find Ao San's body just now. I'm afraid he's still alive. This person is far superior to ordinary people in terms of martial arts cultivation and calculation skills. If we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will bring us big trouble." ."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "It would be better for him to be alive. When his army arrives here, they will see that their leader is besieged on the mountain, and the sky and the earth are not responding. What kind of situation will that be? "

The lieutenant general suddenly realized this and said happily: "By then the enemy's army will surely be demoralized and will be defeated without a fight!"

"Yes, you will be defeated if you don't fight!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "Compared to training, equipment, food and grass...military morale is the key that can determine the outcome of a war. If military morale is gone, a million-strong army will immediately collapse. Embankment; if the morale of the army is strong, a straggler can defeat thousands of troops, so what we are going to fight this time is a psychological battle!"

The deputy general handed over his hand and said, "Master Ge, the student has learned a lesson."

At this time, the clatter of horse hooves sounded behind everyone, and two men dressed as eunuchs rode up.

"Hey! Mr. Zhang Ge!"

The two dismounted and ran over to kneel down in front of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng looked at them and said calmly: "What are you doing here, sir?"

"Report to Mr. Ge, His Majesty has asked you to lead the army back to defend Jinling."

Zhang Juzheng said nothing, and the coercion he exuded during his silence made the two of them shudder.

"An assassin has sneaked into the capital and set fire to kill people. Even the Jinling government offices are littered with corpses. The arrogance is extremely high. Your Majesty hopes that Mr. Ge can return to the city to take charge of the overall situation."

"I understand. Let's report back to His Majesty and tell me that I will accept the order."

The two eunuchs relaxed after hearing this and immediately left.

Looking at the horse's retreating figure, the deputy general immediately became anxious and frowned: "It's been such a troubled time. Why are assassins causing trouble again now?"

Zhang Juzheng murmured meaningfully: "When fate is unfair, even a child with a yellow mouth can be splashed three feet with blood."

"Mr. Ge, I will immediately mobilize the troops and return to defend the capital."

"No need, let's wait until this battle is over."

The adjutant was shocked when he heard this, "But your Majesty has an order..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng interrupted him, "How many officials are there in the capital now?"

The adjutant thought for a moment and replied: "According to the system, the number of officials in the capital should be 1,944. However, in recent years, Wei Zhongxian has sold his officials and awarded titles, which has made the capital a mess. There are more and more officials in the capital who are living on empty wages. Now there are not ten thousand, but eight thousand. If we add in the officials without grades, the number will be even more difficult to count."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many pillars of the empire gathered in our capital." Zhang Juzheng smiled without emotion, "With so many loyal ministers and good generals living in the capital, if we can't even deal with a few assassins, then why are we working so hard for it? ?”

The adjutant was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Student understands."

"Report! Mr. Ge, the enemy is less than 300 miles away from Qingliang Mountain. There are about 200,000 people. They are expected to arrive tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go down."

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng looked at the skyline, and scenes about tomorrow kept flashing through his mind.

Two hundred thousand people, even if most of them are composed of rioters, are still a huge threat.

If all the troops in the capital were gathered to confront him head-on, although he could win, it would be a miserable victory.

For the present plan, it is better to attack the heart.

"Are you ready for the things you need tomorrow?"

"Come back to the pavilion, I've already prepared everything."

"it is good."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and stopped talking.

Gradually, it gets darker and darker.

In the complete silence, a majestic and frightened voice seemed to be heard, constantly threatening and praying.

"I am Zhenjun Feixuan! I am the Wanshou Emperor! I am immortal, how dare you, a young man, to take away my world? I have a long life, and you are just white-clouded dogs, white-clouded dogs!"

In the blur, the voice slowly changed and became extremely loud. It was the chorus of tens of millions of people, and the densely colored night gradually dimmed and turned brighter quietly.

"Everything is born with man! Man is nothing with heaven! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At dawn, hundreds of thousands of people marched together along both sides of the river, men and women of all kinds.

This extremely violent short poem that they yelled in unison was written by Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the bandits outside the Pass, the Great Western King. Some people also say that this poem was written under a pseudonym.

But whether they are true or false, these killing words have become popular all over the world in a short period of time.

At this time, everyone followed Pao Gehui's ship and headed towards the imperial capital. Regardless of their original intentions, they had already turned against the thieves. Singing this poem while marching was also a great momentum.

Thousands of ships were sailing on the waves, approaching fiercely. Xian Laowu stood on the bow, looking at the endless army on both sides, and couldn't help but nod.

With so many people helping out, wouldn't it be easy to take down Jinling as long as he joins forces with Ao Sanye and others?

At this time, they were less than fifty or sixty miles away from Jinling City, and the entire view of the majestic city was revealed in front of the crowds.

Suddenly, dozens of light boats with tall poles lined up and swung in from a distance.

"The whole army is on alert!"

Xian Laowu immediately cheered up and sent spies to dive into the water and touch the front to inquire about the situation.

The rioters on both sides were much less disciplined, and the rules and regulations in Brother Pao's Association could not restrain them at all.

Before the spies came back, many people were already shouting and shouting: "It's so funny. The poles on the boat were actually covered with human heads, like skewers of candied haws. There were at least several hundred on one pole." indivual!"

Someone else shouted, "I recognize all those heads! They are all famous figures in the world! They are like the leader of the Beggar Clan and the master of Longmen Palace among them!"

The crowd was dense, and these words were spread from one to ten, and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait exploded instantly.

"What do you mean! Aren't these people all the leaders of the Jianghu rebels? Why are their heads missing! Their heads are hanging on the pole!"

"This...can it be said that the vanguard has been completely wiped out!"

"Then what are we here to do? Are we here to have everyone beheaded!"

In an instant, everyone was talking about anything.

Xian Laowu was furious. Even though he had extraordinary martial arts skills, he couldn't see what was on the boat from such a long distance. How could these ordinary people know?

In an instant, he figured out the cause and effect. This must be a spy sent by the Ming army to disturb the morale of the army!

"Come here! Come here! Catch all those who spread rumors and kill them! Brothers and sisters, Mr. Ao Sanye and all the senior martial arts masters are world-famous, how can they die at the hands of these treacherous people? Do not listen to those who disrupt the morale of the army. Word!"

While Xian Laowu ordered his men to shout out the rumors with him, he also ordered the ships to set up cannons, waiting for the opponent's ships to enter the shooting range, and then immediately bombarded them.

But with your words and my words, the true and false news fermented among hundreds of thousands of people, and it immediately went out of shape. There were divergent opinions. Even in such a short period of time, some people had already started to tell stories. Looking back at the title - Brother Pao Huiyu defeated Jinling City, and the corpses of all the heroes were scattered.

Xian Laowu gritted his teeth and wanted to smash the dozens of small boats into rubbish. However, as soon as these boats appeared, they stopped far away and stopped moving forward at all, letting the messages ferment.

Seeing this, Xian Laowu also had a lot of thoughts and hesitated for a moment. Could it be that Ao Sanye and others were really wiped out?

With just a few dozen small boats and a few rumors, the seemingly huge army was on the verge of disintegration.
