Obtain the divine power at the beginning

The crescent moon is getting fuller, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The moonlight and the palace lanterns made the inner court as bright as day.

The evening breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air.

After Wei Zhongxian ordered Tian Ergeng to leave, Zhu Youxiao asked Shi Tianyu about the next few moves to suppress the rebellion in Sichuan with great interest, just wanting to listen in one breath. Everyone listened attentively, staring at Shi Tianyu without blinking.

Suppressing a rebellion is a thrilling event, and Shi Tianyu describes it so brilliantly, with an air of ease and effortlessness, which is naturally very attractive.

~~
Shi Tianyu looked sideways to see that Wei Xueyan was also fascinated, so he quietly reached out and held Wei Xueyan's hand under the table, and then answered Zhu Youxiao's words. Shi Tianyu said that I would lead the light cavalry to attack the rebels besieging Jingzhou, and cooperate with Li Zhenhai, who was the bravest of the three armies, to kill the rebels. As for Princess Changxiang, she must be stationed to supervise the battle, so she led Kou Yanming and Murong Sheng to lead their troops into Jingzhou to ask Pan Ruzhen for food and soldiers. The Jing soldiers were led by Li Zhenhai to attack the rebels in Chengdu.

In this battle, the soldiers of Jing will surely avenge their previous siege, and their morale is high.

~~
Empress Zhang interrupted and asked, if the Jing troops were transferred to central Sichuan, then what would happen to the Huguang area?
Zhu Junkai waved to Feng Tianzhu and asked Feng Tianzhu to get the map to look at it.

At a young age, he showed a strong interest in military issues.

~~
Wei Xueyan finally reacted, and she quietly pushed away Shi Tianyu's hand with her other hand and gently kicked Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu smiled and glanced at Zhu Junkai again. He was confident and said to Queen Zhang with a smile that after the rebels were defeated in Jingzhou, they would definitely send troops to reinforce the rebels besieging Jingzhou. Most of the rebel troops in Jiange Pass would be transferred to Jingzhou, and our troops could ambush the rebels who were transferred from Chengdu, Fucheng or other places to Jingzhou on the way.

Because the Mahayana sect knew very well that if the Jingzhou area could not be controlled, the central part of Sichuan would certainly not be able to be defended.

Jingzhou has been a strategic fortress since ancient times.

Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have always rushed to occupy strategic strongholds during wars.

Therefore, when we fight a war, we must fight both on the battlefield and on the psychological front.

Psychological tactics are particularly important. All strategies and tactics are actually psychological tactics.

Moreover, when the Mahayana sect soldiers saw Li Zhenhai leading his troops to attack, they must have concluded that Jingzhou's troops were empty and dispatched troops to counterattack the Huguang area.

In this way, they fell into the ambush of Princess Changxiang's large army.

Afterwards, the princess, Lord Kou, and Lord Murong can also send food to Nan'an City, which will not only relieve Nan'an's siege, but also cooperate with Lord Lu from inside and outside to completely wipe out the enemies besieging Nan'an and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

It can also allow Lord Lu, Zhang Jiaxuan and others to have a full meal.

~~
"it is good!"

"Okay!"

"that is really good!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Come, Lord Shi, I'll toast you a glass and wish you a successful start."

Empress Zhang, Wei Zhongxian, Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, Murong Sheng, Wei Xueyan and others all clapped their hands and laughed when they heard this. Zhu Youxiao suddenly stood up and raised his glass to toast Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu raised his cup and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Lord!"

I raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp, feeling very moved.

At the same time, it is also understood that Zhu Youxiao must have recalled some records in "Tianyu Diary" at this time.

Otherwise, this rebellion would not be taken so seriously.

Of course, Wei Xueyan also played a big role in this.

~~
Shi Tianyu put down his wine glass and sat down. Seeing Wei Zhongxian also staring at him in a daze, Zhu Junkai was carefully checking the map, and then he analyzed with a smile that the Mahayana Sect predicted that I would definitely ride to Yunnan quickly next and follow the method of lifting the siege of Jingzhou. They would definitely send troops to reinforce the troops besieging Kunming to prevent me from attacking.

However, I gave the Mahayana sect an unexpected surprise and led my Jinyiwei to attack Fucheng at night. I have great prestige in Fucheng, and the people in the city will certainly welcome me. This is another internal and external cooperation.

It can be said that as soon as I led my troops to the city of Fucheng, Fucheng was within my grasp.

~~
Zhu Youxiao was so delighted that he clapped his hands and toasted Shi Tianyu, saying excitedly, "Great! I toast you again, my dear Shi, and wish you success in regaining Sichuan and consolidating the Ming Dynasty."

Empress Zhang, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Xueyan, Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, Murong Sheng and others all raised their glasses and toasted Shi Tianyu.

Even Zhu Junkai raised a bowl of soup to toast Shi Tianyu and thank him for consolidating the Ming Dynasty.

Despite his young age and childish voice, Shi Tianyu saw the future prospects of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Zhu Junkai can ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, the Ming Dynasty will surely unify the world.

~~
When Shi Tianyu thought about this, tears welled up in his eyes again.

Now, everything I think and do is for Zhu Junkai!

Really pity the parents of the world.

As for Shi Tianyu, what is there to care about?

He can attack or defend. The worst that can happen is that he can just live freely on Flying Fish Island, marry a new wife every day, and enjoy life.

~~
Zhu Youxiao was very excited and interested. He was eager to know Shi Tianyu's overall plan for suppressing the rebellion. He put down his wine glass and said impatiently, "Minister Shi, please tell me the next plan!"

Everyone looked at Shi Tianyu intently again.

~~
Shi Tianyu raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears of emotion.

Wei Xueyan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shi Tianyu sideways.

Shi Tianyu saw Wei Xueyan's affectionate eyes through his tearful eyes, took the handkerchief, wiped his tears, and said excitedly, "After I conquer Fucheng, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order. Oh, this order can be drafted first, and Eunuch Huang will accompany the princess."

Oh, please issue an order that the princess will lead all the troops to suppress the rebellion and coordinate the dispatch of all the troops. At this time, our army's food and grass are no longer a problem. We can send troops to garrison Jiange Pass to prevent the rebels from escaping to the north and northwest along this throat.

Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang, Zhu Junkai, Wei Zhongxian and others all listened attentively and stopped asking questions. They all stared at Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu also said that our army’s insufficient troops in Sichuan could be recruited by me, and then we could counterattack the rebels in Sichuan.

The rebels are in a tight spot in central Sichuan, so they will certainly recall the troops trapped in Yunnan. Prince Mu will also avenge the siege of Kunming and will certainly lead his troops to attack later. At this time, the rebels will be like birds in a cage, at the mercy of His Majesty's magic soldiers.

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao and others still had not come to their senses, as if they had already seen Shi Tianyu's heroic figure on the battlefield, commanding thousands of troops and killing countless rebels. Zhu Youxiao and others even heard the shouts of killing and the deafening cheers of the masses after the rebellion was suppressed.

~~
Empress Zhang was the first to react. She smiled and raised her glass to Shi Tianyu, saying, "Your loyalty and bravery, Shi, you guarded Kunning Palace in the past, escorted grain to Shanhaiguan, fought against the Jin army, shocked Liaoxi again, and served as the prefect of Guangning again. You loved the people like your own children. Even the Jin soldiers were shocked. I have witnessed it.

My dear minister, you hold a local official post and love the people like your own children. Lords Murong and Li have also received detailed reports. Your Highness and His Majesty have both made incognito visits and witnessed it with their own eyes.

My dear minister, you have fought in the border areas twice, both times you have promoted the power of our Ming Dynasty and attracted the attention of the world.

My dear minister, your words today can be regarded as a complete strategy for suppressing the rebellion. I am very happy that the Ming court has such a pillar.

This cup is from me on behalf of the harem. I wish you success in suppressing the rebellion!"

After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp as a sign of respect.

A wise queen put aside her status and won over loyal and brave ministers, only because she cared about the Ming Dynasty.

~~
Shi Tianyu stood up with the cup in his hand, his heart extremely excited, tears of emotion streaming down his face, and he kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.

Empress Zhang's comments summarized all of Shi Tianyu's achievements since he took office.

At this time, all of Shi Tianyu's grievances had disappeared, and what remained in his heart was ambition and strategy to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

~~
"Please stand up, my dear." Zhu Youxiao helped Shi Tianyu up with his own hands and wiped his tears.

Everyone present was moved.

Empress Zhang suddenly remembered that Shi Tianyu still needed to circulate Qi for Zhu Youxiao, so she raised her sleeves, wiped away her tears, and said with a sob: "My dear ministers, please go back to the palace first. His Majesty has something important to entrust to you, Mr. Shi."

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood, and immediately raised his glass and said, "The wine is good and the cup is glowing. The pipa music is urging me to drink. My dear ministers, come, let's drink this glass of wine together and cheer for Mr. Shi to go to war."

Empress Zhang, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Xueyan and others immediately raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank them all in one gulp. They were all excited and their hearts were pounding.

Shi Tianyu said, "I have worn my golden armor through hundreds of battles in the yellow sand, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan. Your Majesty, please wait for my triumphant report." He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, very confidently. Everyone put down their glasses, bowed, and left.

Shi Tianyu then asked Zhu Youxiao to sit cross-legged, and he also sat cross-legged, and practiced Qigong and transmitted Qi to Zhu Youxiao.

~~
Empress Zhang and Zhu Junkai were waiting on the side, very worried about Zhu Youxiao's safety. They were also very curious about how there could be such a medical skill as Qigong in the martial arts world.
Zhu Junkai watched for a while, and then asked Empress Zhang to sit cross-legged, and let him practice Qigong and transfer energy to Empress Zhang. He was very naughty and playful.

Empress Zhang also found it interesting and did as she was told.

The mother and son burst into laughter.

~~
Half an incense stick of time later, mist appeared above the heads of Shi Tianyu and Zhu Youxiao.

Empress Zhang then turned around and hugged Zhu Junkai. The mother and son looked at Shi Tianyu and Zhu Youxiao together, feeling curious and worried.

Another half incense stick of time passed.

Shi Tianyu closed his palms and finished his training, then bowed and took his leave.

Zhu Youxiao was full of energy, as if he had become a different person.

Only then did Empress Zhang and Zhu Junkai feel relieved.

Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered the palace maids, eunuchs and guards to accompany Zhu Junkai back to his room to rest, then he hugged Empress Zhang back to the bedroom and rolled into bed happily.

The violence of his movements, the noise they made, and the duration of their movements really shocked the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the bedroom.

The next day, the news that Empress Zhang looked radiant and walked out with the help of the wall and with difficulty spread quickly, sparking heated discussions in the court.

~~
That night, the moon was like a graceful girl, dancing in the sky, with her beautiful eyes emitting bright and soft light. Shi Yuyan led Xie Haiting, Qi Juan, Yang Ying, Qi Meizhen and others, accompanied by Lu De and Jiang Huotian, to the Kyoto Mingjing Inn for the first time.

However, in Mingjing Inn, it was quiet and dark.

This made Shi Yuyan and others feel very nervous.

Too suspenseful!
~~
Jiang Huotian said in shock: "Hey! Where are the people? How come there is no one here? Did something happen to Shi Tianyu?"

Liu An'er was carrying one son on his back and holding another son in his arms. Upon hearing the words, he hurriedly kicked the door, anxious and worried.

I am really worried whether Shi Tianyu will be imprisoned.

Bang! The heavy door of Mingjing Inn was not kicked open.

However, Jiang Xiao came out to greet him upon hearing the noise.

Dozens of people inside got up and lit the lights.

Suddenly, Mingjing Inn was as bright as day again.

~~
Liu An'er asked immediately, "Where is my husband? Tell me quickly!"

His tone was hurried and his face was full of anxiety.

Jiang Xiao bowed and said, "Madam, please rest assured! General Shi has now been promoted to the chief military officer of the country, the general of Longting, and the governor of Sichuan, Yunnan and Shaanxi. Madam, you are a step late. General Shi has already led his troops out of Beijing and went south to Sichuan to quell the rebellion.

However, this inn has now been bought by General Shi. It is huge, with many rooms, as well as a front and back yard.

Madam, young master, and all the heroes, you can stay here, and tomorrow we can go to the roasted whole lamb restaurant opened by the grain official office of the world's military and horse generals." After saying this, he gestured and invited everyone to come in.

In the inn, the former detective brothers from Fucheng hurriedly and enthusiastically poured tea and served water.

~~
Things in the world were changing so fast that Shi Yuyan and others really couldn't react for a while.

Although they all breathed a sigh of relief, they were still dazed.

At this time, Gongsun Ren came in, clasped his hands, bowed to Shi Yuyan and said, "Chief Leader, there is no need to be surprised. Nephew Shi has indeed led his men out of the capital. Qin Zhengfang, Luo Baozhong and others have also followed him to the south to quell the rebellion. They left the capital on horseback at an extremely fast speed. This is also Nephew Shi's style. He does what he says and does it with great vigor and determination."

Only then did everyone come to their senses.

~~
Liu An'er hurriedly said to Shi Yuyan, "Aunt Shi, let's go to Sichuan and help my husband."

Shi Yuyan smiled and said, "An'er, can you still fight? You hold one in your arms and carry another on your back. Aren't you afraid of hurting the children? Qin Daxia, Luo Shaoxia and others are here to help your husband. It's ok. You can enjoy your life in peace. Train your two sons well and let them become General Shi when they grow up."

Yang Ying quickly reached out and grabbed Liu An'er, saying, "An'er, your husband is a god of war, as everyone knows. What are you worried about? This is the first time I've come to Kyoto in my life. You have to accompany me for a walk tomorrow. Your family has a lot of money, so you have to spend some money and treat everyone to a good meal, good drinks, good shopping and good fun." Hahahaha! Everyone laughed.

Liu An'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, thrust the baby in her arms into Yang Ying's arms, and said, "Okay, you help me take care of the baby. I'm so tired of having babies every year."

Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed again.

Jiang Xiao estimated that the heroes would stay there, so he ordered his brothers to clean up the rooms quickly.

Shi Yuyan then led everyone for a walk.

Michelle Yim praised enviously: "An'er, this house is so big!"

Qi Juan also took the opportunity to tease Liu An'er: "Senior sister, your husband is so generous! Not only does he have such a big house, but he also often gives money to support us Jiangnan martial artists. From now on, I have to please you, and you have to give me some money often!"

Liu An'er said angrily: "No need for charity, I will introduce you to be my mistress."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone came over when they heard the noise, and laughed so hard that they cried.

Both sisters were hot, but Qi Juan didn't get angry. Instead, she said jokingly, "Really? Sure! The smaller one is more valuable."

Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed so hard that they bent forward and backward, and rubbed their stomachs with their hands.

~~
Yang Ying held the baby in her arms and walked back and forth in the Mingjing Inn, saying with admiration: "It seems that being an official is good! Eat well, live well, dress well, and don't have to worry about anything. Such a big house is enough for several Hongxing Escort Agencies. And our house is still rented." Shi Yuyan walked to the courtyard, stroked the ancient locust tree in the silver light, and looked at the green bamboo around her, as if thinking about something.

~~
The whole Sichuan region was almost filled with banners of Mahayana's rise to power.

On this day, the afternoon clouds were floating leisurely and elegant.

Xu Guan led Wang Biao and rode to Chengdu on horseback, and came to the former Lu Mansion to ask for an audience with Wang Haoxian, the puppet emperor of the Mahayana sect.

At this time, Xu Guan stopped in front of the former gate of Lu Mansion and looked at it, with a free and lofty feeling filling his heart.

Wang Biao went out for a while, then came back and bowed to report to Xu Guan the news of the smooth advance: "Because it was a surprise attack, Zou Tieying, Lei Shenghai and other generals led their troops to attack Jingzhou. Although we encountered stubborn resistance from the Jing soldiers, our Dacheng troops withdrew from Jingzhou, but Shui Shangyi and other generals led troops to reinforce and arrived in time, and formed a situation of internal and external cooperation, killing and dispersing the Ming court troops rushing to Jingzhou's aid, and still trapped Jingzhou. Lord Xu, you are the only one who can come up with a brilliant plan to pacify the world!"

~~
White clouds are floating, and the sky is as tranquil as a lake.

Wang Biao was beaming with joy again, and he said with great excitement: "Beigong Bo, Gong Hanyu and other generals led their troops to attack Kunming suddenly, which worked. They actually captured Kunming in one fell swoop. Mu Jiliu led the remnants of his troops to flee in panic, gathered the Yunnan troops, and counterattacked Kunming. You Yanfei and other generals also led their troops to attack Kunming later, and the situation became a combination of internal and external forces. Mu Jiliu was defeated again and had to retreat. He was unable to support the Ming army in Sichuan."

Xu Guan waved his hands with great enthusiasm and said excitedly: "Good, very good! However, the most urgent task is to let Zhong Wanqiang, Zhao Jianqing and others who have just been contacted, lead their gangs to reinforce the isolated Ming army besieging Nan'an. If we take over Nan'an City, the whole of Sichuan will fall into our hands. With the backing of the Land of Abundance, my Mahayana soldiers can march north. Fortunately, the dog bastard Shi Tianyu was sent out to fight by the dog emperor. This thief is what I am afraid of!"

Afterwards, I'm still a little worried.

Wang Biao was startled and shivered involuntarily.

But after a brief thought, he bowed and flattered, "Don't worry, Lord Xu! Although Shi Tianyu is a master of war, he is not the ruler of the Ming Dynasty. He has to do whatever the dog emperor tells him to do. Letting Shi Tianyu go out to fight makes the dog emperor look even more incompetent. At this critical moment, he actually let Shi Tianyu go out to fight. It can be seen that Zhu Youxiao is digging his own grave!"

Xu Guan shook his head and said, "Zhu Youxiao, the carpenter emperor, sent Shi Tianyu to fight outside the border this time instead of coming directly to Sichuan to quell the so-called rebellion. This was an extremely smart move. Just think about it, if Shi Tianyu had won the battle outside the border, relying on his reputation of twice shocking Liaoxi and winning the battles outside the border, and then led his troops to Sichuan to quell the rebellion, wouldn't our army be terrified? Wars are fought for money, strategy, and prestige. This time, Zhu Youxiao has someone behind him who is giving him a good idea!"

~~
Wang Biao was about to persuade Xu Guan again, but at this moment, Wang Haoxian's guard came over, bowed and said to Xu Guan: "Sir Xu, the Emperor summons the two gentlemen to the palace for an audience." Xu Guan and Wang Biao smiled at each other, then walked into the inner hall of Lu's mansion.

When Wang Haoxian saw Xu Guan and Wang Biao coming in, he said impatiently, "My dear ministers, you have come just in time. Sichuan has now become a territory of my Great Cheng Xingsheng Dynasty. I have just discussed with the Prime Minister and decided to choose a concubine and a eunuch. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Xu Guan was very annoyed when he heard this, but he could only object tactfully, saying: "Your Majesty, the defenders of Zhang Jiaxuan in Nan'an City are stubborn and unyielding, and Sichuan is still not peaceful. The Ming court will also dispatch troops to support the Nan'an troops and intend to counterattack our Dacheng troops. I feel that if Your Majesty chooses a concubine at this time, the people in Sichuan will not be healed and may have some ideas. However, the eunuchs can be selected and trained in advance to lay the foundation for Your Majesty's next step to march into Kyoto."

~~
Wang Haoxian was immediately embarrassed. Although he was the emperor of the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty, he had no prestige and could not command troops, so he could only be a puppet emperor. The military power was also in the hands of Master Heyin. Wang Haoxian and the so-called Prime Minister Li Zhiyong discussed some trivial matters, so trivial that even Master Heyin did not want to deal with them.

The Fucheng that Xu Guan and Wang Biao took over was like a Mahayana sect among Mahayana sects, quite independent, and no one else could interfere with its sphere of influence. Every time Xu Guan and Wang Biao came to Chengdu, it seemed that they came to teach Wang Haoxian a lesson.

This gave Wang Haoxian a headache. He wished he could take action immediately and chop Xu Guan to pieces with a knife, peel off Xu Guan's skin and drink Xu Guan's blood.

~~
Wang Biao may have been subdued by Xu Guan, so he bowed and suggested, echoing: "Your Majesty, the wealth of the Yao family has attracted the attention of the world. I suggest that we should make every effort to arrest them. If Your Majesty can take Tang Meiling as your concubine, then our Mahayana troops will march north and grain and silver will not be a problem. Otherwise, the money and grain problem will still be the main factor restricting our Mahayana Dynasty, which is not conducive to the next step of our Mahayana troops advancing northward."

Wang Haoxian wanted to choose a few concubines but couldn't. He was very bored and listless. He said weakly, "Well! My two beloved ministers have a point. My two beloved ministers, how should we deal with the eunuch issue?"

Xu Guansui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong, Hua Tiandi and others were once Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty and have seen the grandeur of the imperial city. I suggest that Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong, Hua Tiandi and Xun Jinchi be castrated and serve as eunuchs. They will train the newly selected eunuchs and lay the foundation for Your Majesty to manage the harem in the future." Thinking that Fang Shizhong and others were extremely cunning, and if they defected to Li Zhiyong, they would definitely become a stumbling block in his next step, so he proposed to play a trick on them.

~~
Wang Haoxian didn't know it was a trick, but felt that Xu Guan's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "Yes! Xu Aiqing's words make sense. Okay, let's follow Xu Aiqing's plan. Come, tell the imperial guards to immediately evict Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong, Hua Tiandi, and Xun Jinchi, and instruct them to select eunuchs for me and provide a plan for governing the harem."

Xu Guan then smiled complacently, then led Wang Biao to bow and leave.

He came to Chengdu so diligently just to see Wang Haoxian's situation, inquire about the harmony master's situation, and provide Wang Haoxian with some bad ideas from time to time.

~~
The red glow of the sunset makes the sky look particularly intoxicating.

The evening breeze is cool and colorful butterflies are flying.

Xu Guan and Wang Biao passed through the courtyard of Lu's mansion, but did not rush back to Fucheng immediately, but returned to the residence of the Minister of War.

This is the former Chengdu government office.

Xu Guan was the Minister of War of the Mahayana Dynasty and had the right and freedom to stay in Chengdu to handle the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Although its so-called Ministry of War was just an empty shell and had no official duties to perform.

However, this also became an excellent excuse for him to travel to Chengdu frequently and stay in Chengdu.

~~
Wang Biao waved his hand and asked his attendants to retreat.

He then reminded Xu Guan in a low voice, "Sir, your suggestion just now may not suit Wang Haoxian's wishes!"

Xu Guan sneered and said, "Don't be afraid. After all, it's just a proposal. The decision is in Wang Haoxian's hands. Whether he chooses a concubine or not is his business. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to win over the soldiers, especially those Northwest martial artists who have been chasing, besieging and assassinating Shi Tianyu for six years and have been injured instead, so that the military power is firmly in our hands.

As for Wang Haoxian and Li Zhiyong, they are just birds in the cage of Heyin Laozei Tu. If we advise Wang Haoxian not to choose a concubine and to be close to the people, these words will instead reach the ears of Heyin Laozei Tu.

I guess Heyin Laozeitou has already received the news. In this case, Heyin Laozeitou will feel that we are the pillars of Mahayana Buddhism. Think about it, is Heyin Laozeitou really playing with our Mahayana Buddhism?

No! Absolutely not! He also wants to be the emperor, and he also wants our Mahayana religion to flourish forever. He also wants to gain control of the world, and he also wants to rule the world forever."

~~
Wang Biao nodded, understanding what he meant, then bowed and said goodbye, going to see how Fang Shizhong and others became eunuchs.

~~
The place where cutting surgery is performed is called a factory.

The factory is located in a rather dilapidated hut near Lu's mansion.

The several knife makers who were responsible for the operation were hired by Li Zhiyong a long time ago.

~~
In the Mahayana sect, Li Zhiyong was once the vice-chairman, and was on equal footing with Wang Haoxian. However, to his great surprise, Master Heyin supported Wang Haoxian as the emperor. There was no other way, and now Li Zhiyong could only please Wang Haoxian.

He just hoped that Wang Haoxian would drink and have fun all day long, take in more concubines, and then be deposed by Master Heyin, who would then make him the emperor.

Therefore, everything was arranged early, but the matter of selecting a concubine was vetoed by Xu Guan.

So, Li Zhiyong rolled his eyes and looked at the wives and concubines of Fang Shizhong, Wang Chao, Hua Tiandi and others.

These are captives. It should be okay to give them to myself and Wang Haoxian for our enjoyment, right?

~~
During the war, people in the city closed their doors and windows early.

At this time, the city was very quiet.

"Prime Minister, please don't do that! I'm still young!"

Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong, Hua Tiandi and Xun Jinchi were brought to the factory by Li Zhiyong. They all pleaded with sad faces and tears streaming down their faces. They all knew what was going to happen next.

Li Zhiyong laughed sarcastically and said, "My Lords, being a eunuch is actually quite good. Look at Wei Zhongxian, isn't he quite authoritative? If you all become the 9,000th Prince in the future, you must take good care of me!"

After saying this, he winked at several officers of the Mahayana Dynasty's imperial guards.

~~
An officer then pressed the acupoints of Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong and four others.

The soldiers then carried Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong and the other three onto the operating table.

The knife makers used white cloth to tightly bind Wang Chao and the other four's abdomen and thighs, then washed the parts to be operated on with pepper water, and then raised the shining scalpels. The knife makers smiled at each other, then each held Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong and the other four's things tightly with one hand, and swung the knife violently with the other hand.

"..."

Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong and the other three screamed in pain and woke up with tears streaming down their cheeks.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong and four others became neither male nor female.

The four knife makers each inserted a white wax needle into the urinary outlet of Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong, Xun Jinchi, Hua Tiandi and others, tied them tightly with ropes, and covered their wounds with paper soaked in cold water.

Then, he carefully bandaged the wounds of the four of them.

An experienced knife maker came forward, clasped his hands, bowed and said to Wang Chao and others: "Four eunuchs, you cannot lie down in bed right away. You must be supported by others and walk around the room for two or three hours before you can lie down in bed. You must not drink a single drop of water for three days after the operation. After three days, remove the white wax needle and urinate to show that the operation was successful."

"..."

Wang Chao, Fang Shizhong and the other four felt pain, sadness and discomfort, and cried and wiped their tears.

Another knife maker stepped forward, clasped his hands and said to Fang Shizhong, "Four eunuchs, your hair and body are given by your parents, and they must not be damaged. So, don't worry, your treasures will not be thrown away, and we will find ways to keep them properly. After you recover from your injuries, you can exchange them for six taels of silver."

Fang Shizhong was crying so hard that his face turned blue in pain and he was sweating coldly.

Wang Chao's head was empty, as if he had no thoughts at all.

The flowers and the world were wailing, tears of sorrow flowing.

Xun Jinchi's face was ashen, his heart was dry, and he felt very confused about life.

How can these four people have money now?

I want to redeem their treasure, but I don’t know when I can get six taels of silver!

Therefore, none of the four of them could answer.

Do you still want that thing? They are also confused.

~~
Li Zhiyong gently reached out his hand, patted Fang Shizhong's shoulder, and whispered: "Eunuch Fang, don't worry, I will take care of your wife and concubine! Later, I and His Majesty will take good care of your family. All men will be slaves, and women, regardless of age, will serve me and His Majesty. Haha!"

After saying that, he immediately ordered a group of soldiers to help Fang Shizhong and the others to get up, and helped them walk back and forth. Then he laughed triumphantly towards the sky and left, hugging Fang Shizhong's concubine and taking Hua Tiandi and Wang Chao's concubines to Lu's Mansion, where he met Wang Haoxian to drink and have fun.

Soon, in Lu's mansion, the sons of Fang Shizhong, Wang Chao and Hua Tiandi all recognized Li Zhiyong as their adoptive father.

The daughters of Fang Shizhong, Wang Chao and Hua Tiandi were all carried by the imperial guards to Wang Haoxian's dragon bed.

……

~~
Xun Jinchi was in so much pain that he wanted to die. With the support of the imperial guards, he walked with difficulty, crying loudly and tears streaming down his face.

The knife makers said nothing more. They put the things of Xun Jinchi, Fang Shizhong, Wang Chao, Hua Tiandi and others into a lime powder box to absorb the moisture from the blood and keep them dry. Then they wiped them clean with a wet cloth and soaked them in fragrant oil.

After the oil has seeped in, it is placed in a small wooden box, sealed and waited for Fang Shizhong and others to come and exchange it for money.

~~
The azure blue sky, set against the backdrop of white clouds, appears high and out of reach.

Outside the city of Nan’an, corpses were piled up like mountains, and the stench from being exposed to the sun was overwhelming.

Lu Yuan, Gao Yingqiang, Zhang Jiaxuan and others inspected the city wall with worried looks on their faces.

The city had been out of food for many days, and people had already started slaughtering horses for a living.

The door panels of the houses in the city had been dismantled and made into rolling logs and bows and arrows.

For some houses, they removed their stones and moved them to the top of the city wall. When they encountered Mahayana troops attacking the city, they would throw down the stones and bricks.

There were not many Ming army soldiers standing on the city walls to defend the city. Most of them were shot to death by the rain of arrows and fell from the city walls.

Now most of the people standing on the city wall are civilians and constables.

Lu Chusheng, Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing went out of the city to recruit troops, but there was no news for a long time.

However, the number of Mahayana troops besieging Nan'an City continued to increase.

~~
Pu Jue led his troops to attack the north gate, Puning led his troops to attack the south gate, Zhong Wanqiang led the Beggars' Sect disciples to attack the east gate, and Zhao Jianqing led the Liuhe Sect disciples to attack the west gate. Refugees outside the city occasionally joined the rebels to get a bite to eat.

This time, the Mahayana sect was stirring up trouble, which not only resulted in more and more rebels, but also more and more disciples of the Beggars' Sect. Taking advantage of the rebellion of the Mahayana sect, Zhong Wanqiang sent people to recruit refugees to become disciples of the Beggars' Sect.

The Beggars' Sect rose from its lowest point to its peak, and its strength was significantly enhanced.

Zhong Wanqiang and other martial artists relied on their good martial arts skills to sneak up the city walls from time to time. Fortunately, there were Lu Yuan, Gao Yingqiang, Song Ziqing, Ma Dehui, Dai Kun, Xiang Laixiang and others who took turns patrolling on the top of the city.

Otherwise, Nan'an City would have been breached long ago.

~~
The sky is clear and the sun shines down in waves of scorching heat.

The stench of corpses from below the city reached the top of the city walls.

The people and constables on the city walls all felt nauseous, and some vomited from time to time.

The rebels took the opportunity to shoot arrows. From time to time, people on the top of Nan'an City fell down from the city wall with screams, splashing blood-red turbid water.

Dai Kun sat under the city gate tower with two shields in front of him. He was very worried about his daughter, his little grandson Dai Lingyun, and the fate of Shi Tianyu. He was really afraid that Shi Tianyu would be beheaded by the emperor after arriving in Kyoto.

In this way, Dai Ruyi and Dai Lingyun will never be able to leave the fairyland and will never be able to return to Dai Kun.

Thinking of the cuteness of his little grandson, Dai Kun laughed.

Thinking that his little grandson might never come back to him, Dai Kun burst into tears and felt sad.

There was not much to eat during this period, and we had to defend the city, which was very hard.

At this time, Dai Kun was already in tattered clothes, his hair and beard were all white, and he was so thin that his bones were just skin and bones.

~~
Xiang Laixiang was the same, but she followed Dai Kun closely and comforted him from time to time, saying that Shi Tianyu was a martial arts master and that even if the Dog Emperor convicted Shi Tianyu, it would not be a problem for him to escape from Kyoto with his martial arts skills.

Moreover, Xiang Laixiang also said that Shi Tianyu was not completely useless. He had some good points, such as he was loyal and righteous, and was very good to his old subordinates.

I believe that as long as Shi Tianyu can escape, he will definitely come to rescue us.

~~
"kill!"

"Oh no! Someone is attacking our camp!"

Suddenly, the rebels outside the city shouted in panic.

~~
At this time, Lu Yuan was standing on the top of the city wall holding a sword. He was also very worried. Suddenly, he heard a panicked shouting of the rebels outside the north gate. He was refreshed and looked up. He saw two people waving swords and riding their horses straight into the rebel camp.

Gao Yingqiang suddenly shouted excitedly: "Lord Lu, that's great, Lu Feng and Wei Qing are back, that's great, reinforcements are here."

Lü Yuan's worries disappeared immediately, and he immediately gave an order, saying sideways: "Song Ziqing, Qiu Yang, and Liu Jian, the three of you rush out of the north gate to welcome Lord Tian and Lord Yuan into the city." Lü Yuan glanced sideways again and ordered Gao Yingqiang and Dai Kun: "Gao Yingqiang, Dai Kun, the two of you go to the north gate to guard it, just in case."

"Yes!" Everyone bowed and responded, then left with their weapons in hand.

~~
"Kill!" Song Ziqing, Qiu Yang, and Liu Jian rode out of the north gate and charged into the rebel camp, joining Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing in the lead. The rebel camp was immediately thrown into chaos.

Pu Jue was furious. He mounted his horse with a shovel, chased Tian Lufeng, and hit him hard with the shovel.

Lu Yuan drew his bow and shot three arrows directly at Pu Jue's chest.

Pu Jue had no choice but to use his shovel to block the arrow.

clank!

Pu Jue swung his shovel to block three arrows.

~~
Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing rode their horses past Pu Jue.

Yuan Weiqing also took the opportunity to chop Pu Jue's horse's buttocks with a sword.

"咴咴!"

Pu Jue's warhorse was in pain and jumped around wildly, carrying him around the camp.

Tian Lufeng and others entered the city smoothly and reported to Lu Yuan that Jingzhou was trapped, Kunming was occupied, and Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and Jingzhou were unable to send reinforcements to rescue.

The 50,000 reinforcements led by Yang Ting from the northwest were unable to enter Sichuan because Jiange Pass was in the hands of the rebels. They were also ambushed and killed in large numbers and their army was completely defeated. Since they had no money or food, most of the soldiers became beggars.

~~
Upon hearing this, Lü Yuan flew into a rage, slammed the table and stamped his feet, and angrily asked, "Won't Yang Tingzhi's troops take a detour through the border between Shaanxi and Jing to enter Sichuan?"

Tian Lufeng bowed and explained: "Replying to Lord Lu, the border between Shaanxi and Jing has been blocked by Jin Ziguang, Zhang Juran, Liang Hong and others from the Jingzhong martial arts world. They cut bamboo sticks and set traps. Therefore, the troops led by Yang Ting once sent some people to bypass the border between Shaanxi and Jing, but suffered heavy casualties. The troops stationed at the border between Sichuan and Shaanxi are often harassed by the bandits of Lu Qingshan, the Northwest Axe Gang, who have been lurking for a long time. And because of the lack of food and grass, Yang Ting's army is unstable."

"Oh!" Lu Yuan, Gao Yingqiang, Dai Kun and others sighed when they heard this.

~~
Xu Li was like a frightened bird. He hastily suggested to Lu Yuan that we abandon the isolated city. He said in a trembling voice: "Lord Lu, we still have hope of breaking out now." Lu Yuan was furious and angrily scolded Xu Li: "Lord Xu, I and the three officials of Sichuan are all in Nan'an City, but you are thinking of abandoning the city and fleeing. Do you still have the face to see His Majesty? If you hadn't done anything wrong in Sichuan, would Sichuan have suffered such a defeat? Humph!"

Gao Yingqiang naturally followed Lu Yuan at this time, and Lu Yuan's determination to defend Nan'an City also made Gao Yingqiang admire Lu Yuan very much, so he said loudly: "I am determined to live and die with Lord Lu and Nan'an City."

Although he did not scold Xu Li, he actually scolded Xu Li.

Dai Kun, Xiang Laixiang, Zhang Jiaxuan and others said in unison: "I am determined to live and die with Lord Lu and Nan'an City."

This was a severe slap in the face to Xu Li, Feng Zhenting, Fu Xing and others.

~~
Feng Zhenting was speechless.

Fu Xing had already lost all face and dared not say a word.

Xu Li blushed and said awkwardly, "This suggestion is only for Lord Lu's reference, for reference only."

Tian Lufeng said loudly at this time: "My lords, don't panic. According to the intelligence from my fellow disciples and the pigeons, His Majesty is paying close attention to Nan'an City. In addition to dispatching 50,000 troops from Shaanxi to Sichuan to rescue us, he has also appointed Shi Tianyu as the Crown Prince's Guardian, the Dragon Court General, the Chief of the Army and Grain, and the Governor of Sichuan, Yunnan and Shaanxi Provinces. General Shi has accompanied Princess Changxiang Wei Xueyan to lead 30,000 Jinyiwei to Sichuan. There is hope for suppressing the rebellion. I believe our Nan'an City will be saved."

Lü Yuan, Gao Yingqiang and others asked in unison: "What? What what?"

Everyone was stunned at that moment.

~~
"Woo!" Dai Kun excitedly covered his face with his hands and cried. He was so excited.

Haha! Xiang Laixiang immediately started dancing with joy.

Bai Youlong was so scared that he wet his pants instantly, sat down on the ground, and felt a chill on the back of his neck.

I thought sadly: Why does Shi Tianyu get promoted every time he comes to Beijing?
Oh my God! What on earth did I do to deserve such an opponent?

Why isn’t Shi Tianyu dead yet?
