The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 18 The world is in chaos
In the 12th year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the young emperor suddenly died. Several vassal kings who separated themselves from one side immediately raised their troops to plan troubles. The Great Sui Dynasty, which had been peaceful for many years, was full of smoke.

Wherever these vassal kings went, there was no grass growing, so the people complained.

Gradually, rebel armies appeared in various places to resist their inhumane attack.

However, how can the common people be the opponents of these feudal kings? The final result can only be turned into a pool of mud under the iron cavalry.

But under such circumstances, Su He of Yanzhou Prefecture organized a powerful army, and jointly organized several civilian armies from the counties under his control to block the lords' cavalry outside Yanzhou Prefecture.

Although his move protected the people of Yanzhou Prefecture from the army, it also attracted the attention of many vassal kings.

Su He was undoubtedly slapping them in the face by doing this at a time when the heroes were divided.

So the two vassal kings closest to Yanzhou Mansion chose to temporarily join forces and use strong forces to fight around Yanzhou Mansion, vowing to capture Yanzhou Mansion in one fell swoop.

……

"Sir, King Liang's army entered from the south and has successively captured Lingyang and Heshou counties. A gap was opened in the south. King Liang's army marched straight in and entered Laiyang County. King Wu from the north has also approached Yanzhou Prefecture. !”

A scholar in green shirt with a slightly immature face pointed to several places on the map and explained the current war to the tired Su He.

Although this Confucian scholar was immature, he was not shy or timid at all when talking about the armies of the two kings.

He is none other than the person who ranked first in the county examination in Laiyang County a few years ago.

After so many years of hard study, Huang Wen had passed the scholar examination and was appreciated by Su He and became his disciple.

It can be said to be a step up to the sky.

After hearing Huang Wen's words, Su He rubbed his swollen temples and said, "Have our ambush been arranged?"

"Everything has been arranged. All the [-] ambush soldiers from the south are hiding in Nanshan Village and several surrounding villages. The terrain there is rugged and not suitable for large groups of cavalry to pass through. As long as King Liang's scouts are defeated and the scouts guard their positions, this battle will be won. There are those who can fight. The terrain in the north is open and there is no danger to defend, so the student ordered the people there to help dig a trap on the road that King Wu must pass. Please punish me!"

Hearing this, Su He smiled bitterly and said: "What's the point of punishing you? You've done a good job. You've been tired these past few days. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bear it with my old bones. This time we can only It may be a waste of human resources, but as long as I, Su He, am still here, those vassal kings will never think of turning Yanzhou Mansion into a granary for them to conquer the world!"

Huang Wen's eyes were equally firm.

During this period, people from various counties in Yanzhou Prefecture who were harassed by the war came to seek refuge. From their mouths, we could learn about the actions of these feudal kings.

This is the time for the vassal kings to accumulate strength, so every time they capture a place, they must plunder all the men and food.

After they leave, there will be nothing left but a mess. The old, weak, women and children will not have any food left in their homes, and winter is about to come again. This is simply forcing them to die.

Huang Wen doesn't want his family to be displaced, so he now wants to return to his hometown and stand with his family.

After listening to his thoughts, Su He finally showed a smile on his face and said: "I heard that you have a childhood sweetheart girl in Nanshan Village, her name is Er Niu. She has been waiting for you to get the honor for more than three years. In this way, The beauty cannot be let down!"

"Now that the enemy is facing us, how can students care about their children's personal relationships? They just want to go back and fight against the enemy with their fathers and fellow villagers!"

"Hahaha, can't I see what you're thinking about? Go ahead and ride the bloody horse back home as soon as possible. This horse is of no use now anyway!"

Huang Wen bowed his hands in thanks and couldn't help but hurry up and leave.

In the past few days, he had been helping Su He deal with the news from various counties. From time to time, he had to go to the counties to give on-the-spot command, and his spirit and body had reached their limits.

That is to say, he is still young. If Su He was running around like this, he might not be able to handle it long ago.But now Huang Wen is going home. No matter how tired his body is, the journey home will be easy after all.

After he left, Su He got up and walked out of the room to an altar table in the main hall and respectfully placed incense on the snake statue on the shrine.

Since he came back from meeting Zhou Bai in Nanshan Village five years ago, he has cast a small statue of the snake fairy for Zhou Bai in the main hall of his home, and the incense has never stopped every day.

"Hey, Lord Snake Immortal, the war is about to spread to Nanshan Village. Will you take action?"

Zhou Bai seemed to have disappeared in the past few years, with no trace or news at all.

Except for the people of Nanshan Village and Su He, people from several other villages rarely go to the Snake Fairy Temple to worship incense.

……

At this time, Nanshan Village had become a temporary military camp. Hundreds of young people responsible for intercepting King Liang's army were gathering in the village to eat and drink.

Because they will die soon.

Using their bodies to resist King Liang's cavalry was a ridiculous thing, but no one among them felt that this method was wrong.

The road outside Nanshan Village was so muddy that it could only accommodate two cavalrymen passing side by side at a time. As long as they guarded the intersection and relied on crudely made trip ropes and knives and forks, they could at least exchange one life for another.

There are hundreds of them, and if they can exchange the lives of hundreds of Liang Wang's forwards, it's already a big profit.

As for what will happen to Nanshan Village after they die, they are too lazy to think about it.

The people in Nanshan Village also knew what these young people were about to do, so they killed the chickens, ducks and pigs that they were reluctant to eat at home and gave them to them.

While everyone was feasting, Huang Wen finally rushed back to the village on his sweaty horse.

When Huang Wen's mother saw her son come back, she couldn't help holding him and crying loudly.

Because Huang Wen's father was also among the young people who intercepted King Liang's army.

In fact, with Huang Wen's current status, he could completely remove his father, but his father didn't say anything, so Huang Wen followed his father's wishes and included him in this operation.

If they fail, Huang Wen will be the last line of defense.

Now that everything that needs to be done has been done, the next step is to wait for King Liang's cavalry to get closer step by step.

Huang Wen washed his hands and face at home and felt refreshed before walking out of the house and heading to the Snake Fairy Temple.

Since he first offered the first stick of incense to the Snake Fairy with the expectations of the villagers a few years ago, he has never stopped the habit of offering incense to the Snake Fairy.

When traveling around the state capital these days, he would also borrow the snake fairy statue in Su He's home to offer incense.

He respectfully came to the Snake Immortal Temple, worshiped the Snake Immortal Statue as a scholar, and knelt down to worship as a commoner. Then he picked up the incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the Snake Immortal Statue.

White incense floated into the sky, drifting into the mountains through the gaps in the tiles on the roof of the Snake Fairy Temple.

And on an inconspicuous hilltop fifty miles away from Nanshan Village, Zhou Bai was lying there, staring at an army below with a pair of cold eyes!
