Honghuang clan

Chapter 228
After three days of counting troops and deliberating, finally, on the school field that day, Yin Jiao, wearing a golden helmet and a sword of the Son of Heaven hanging from his waist, personally saw off the three armies.

After worshiping the heavens, the earth, and the saints of the heavens, Yin Jiao stood on the altar with a majestic face and looked at the soldiers of the three armies who were about to go to battle below. After a while, he said loudly

"Warriors of Dashang, you are about to set off today. In order to protect my Dashang's land and defend the dignity of my Dashang, you will go to the rebel army. Here, the lonely king will represent the ancestors of my Dashang and support you behind you!" Thanks to your millions of merchants and common people."

Having said that, Yin Jiao bowed down and bowed to the soldiers of the three armies.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the three armies all knelt down on the ground and shouted long live.

Seeing everyone like this, Yin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stand up. After everyone stood up, Yin Jiao continued.

"Soldiers, the lonely king knows that the former king owed the great merchants and you too many, but as the son of the former king, I am inconvenient to express too many opinions on this, but the lonely king remembers all your contributions to my great merchants. In my heart, maybe, many of you think that those princes who betrayed the great merchants, those generals who rose up and rebelled against the great merchants, they were only forced by current events, so they made such a move against the great merchants, but , Soldiers, have you forgotten? How did the ancestors of the great merchants treat these loyal men? Have you forgotten how the ancestors led everyone to lay down the foundation of this success? I once heard After such a sentence, the king is not benevolent, and the minister should remonstrate with death, but how do these so-called loyal people who are favored by the great merchants do? One sentence is that the king was not benevolent, so he raised the army, and the sentence was cruel, and the loyal and good people were killed. , then betrayed Da Shang and took refuge in a foreign country. Could this be my Da Shang's loyal man? The father was certainly wrong, but when the father made mistakes, how many people really stood up?

Soldiers, you look down at the land under your feet, and look back at your compatriots behind you. When a war breaks out, how many innocent people will die tragically?How can this be explained by just relying on a sentence of "benevolence or not benevolence of the monarch"?Those conspiring to cause rebellion are always thinking of ways to find out excuses that can be used as real excuses to launch a rebellion, but these excuses are probably nothing if they are truly worshiped in front of loyal people. There is no lack of fear in this world. People who are not chaotic in the world, the lonely king can maintain a tolerant attitude towards this, but when these people entangle their own soldiers and horses to bring disaster to China and Kyushu, and overturn the foundation of success created by our ancestors, I will How could Yin Jiaoyou continue to tolerate it?Today, the lonely king pays homage to Grand Master Wen Zhong and his senior Taichu as the commander-in-chief, just to show those little people who are full of benevolence and morality, but actually do cholera, see the lonely king's determination, and see if the lonely king will Like their compromise, soldiers, this expedition is a decisive battle for whether our century-old foundation can continue to exist, and it is also a sign of whether the compatriots behind you and the land under your feet will become slaves to subjugation In a major war, whether we can protect the subjects of Dashang and our relatives and family members depends on your actions. Soldiers, can you tell me now whether you can protect the relatives behind you, for my Dashang? Three hundred years of foundation, defeating these sanctimonious hypocrites? "

After talking about it, the emotion on Yin Jiao's face became more and more excited, and the soldiers of the three armies under the altar also followed Yin Jiao's words, and their blood boiled. raised their spears high in the air, roaring almost in unison
"Yes, yes, yes!"

After hearing the answers from the soldiers of the three armies, Yin Jiao immediately pulled out the Tianzi Sword from his waist, raised it above his head, and shouted loudly

"Hey, today the lonely king is here to congratulate you again. The soldiers of the three armies have returned in triumph. The lonely king will hold a celebration banquet here as soon as possible, waiting for the return of all the great merchants and warriors."

Hearing Yin Jiao's words, Wen Zhong, Jiang Huanchu, Lu Xiong and other generals of the great merchants all drew out their swords from their waists and shouted loudly
"My king is at ease, I swear to kill the national traitor."

Following the roar of the generals, the soldiers of the three armies also roared loudly
"My king is at ease, I swear to kill the national traitor, kill, kill, kill!"

In this way, after calling out three times, Taichu, Wen Zhong and the others each led their respective armies, left their camps one after another, and marched towards the battlefield to which they belonged.

On the other hand, Yin Jiao waited until all the soldiers of the three armies had set off, and then, accompanied by Shang Rong and other court and Chinese officials, returned to the palace to prepare for the logistics subsidies of the various armies.

At the same time, the secret agents of Xiqi and Jizhou who were hidden in the city of Lu rushed to the horse and reported the details of the big merchant's expedition to their respective masters. , immediately gathered on the two main battlefields of Jizhou and Tongguan, and the people of the three religions all sighed in unison, and each secretly muttered:
"Since the Battle of the Conferred Gods, it seems that the sky is about to change."

...

After more than half a month of marching, Taichu and other monks from Qingqiu Mountain finally brought their men to Caozhou. At this time, Caozhou Hou Chongheihu and Beibohou Chonghouhu brothers had already been waiting there. Outside the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the soldiers of the three armies.

In the early days, Yang Jian and others led the army to a place three miles outside the city of Caozhou. Chonghouhu and Chongheihu had already led their deputy generals to the three armies to meet the commander-in-chief.

After Taichu summoned a few people to come to the horse, Chonghou Hu immediately saluted respectfully and said
"Northern Uncle Hou Chonghouhu and these three commanders, my two brothers have long been looking forward to the Heavenly Army for a long time, and today, finally seeing the Heavenly Army arrive, my brothers can also breathe a sigh of relief from now on."

When Taichu heard Chonghouhu's words, he smiled slightly and said

"You are welcome to be polite, you and I are fighting for the foundation of the great business, why should you be so polite? But I don't know, what is the situation of the two armies at this time?"

When Chonghou Hu heard Taichu's words, he immediately sighed and said helplessly.

"Commander, we have already arrived outside the city of Caozhou. In my opinion, how about we let the soldiers of the three armies enter the city before discussing the military plan? I think the soldiers of the three armies are exhausted from running around, but they are already exhausted at this time, so let the soldiers of the three armies settle down first." Come down."

Taichu heard Chonghouhu's words, and immediately nodded slightly, and then led the three armies into Caozhou City under the guidance of Chonghouhu brothers. Settled down in the hut that was laid down.

After the three armies settled down, Taichu took Hu Ying, Lingzhuzi, and Yang Jian with them, and then followed Brother Chonghouhu to the Houfu to discuss military plans, while the monks in Qingqiu Mountain had stars, Taiqing, and Taiming. The three stayed behind as coordinator.

After everyone sat down in the hall of the Hou Mansion, Chonghou Hu stepped forward, talking about the current form like Taichu and the others.
"Marshal, this traitor Su Hu has many Western monks to help him, and among our three armies, although there are some monk friends, none of them are his opponents. Ordinary people or monks, all will be killed. In this way, our army is really no match for the opponent, so we retreated steadily and gathered in Caozhou to wait for the imperial court's reinforcements."

After hearing what Chonghouhu said, Taichu frowned again, and then said

"Oh? The situation is so bad? Do you know who is the leader of the other party?"

Heihu on one side heard Taichu's words, immediately got up and saluted and said

"Military Master, I do know a little about this. The person in charge of the other party is Su Hu's general Zheng Lun. Cultivation method is passed down from the great western sect, so in the camp of the other party, for a long time, the monks of the western sect, the head of the person is Zhunti sitting down ten disciples, as well as the western Ksitigarbha, auspicious Heaven, there are several Bodhisattvas in Zizai Heaven."

Hearing Chong Heihu's words in the early days, he frowned again, then smiled slightly, and said

"Oh? I'm really willing to mention and guide you. You actually sent all the first disciples of the Western Great Sect down the mountain? Hmph, if the monks of the Western Sect join forces with the disciples of the Chan Sect, I'd rather I'm still a little apprehensive, but now I'm just a member of the western sect, and I dare to compete with my disciples of Qingqiu mountain for the number of days and luck? And also enter the west of my country to compete for the orthodoxness of the emperor, huh, I really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, today I will let you wait You know how powerful Qingqiu Mountain is."

After the voice fell, Taichu looked down at the disciples around him, and said

"Lingzhuzi, go to Lupeng and tell you, Junior Sister Xingchen, to take all the disciples of the mountain gate to protect the safety of Caozhou. Yang Jian, I will allocate 3000 troops to you, and you can go out of the city to fight. This is the first battle of my army here. You must remember that you are only allowed to win and not to lose, as the teacher will personally watch the enemy for you."

When Yang Jian heard Taichu's order, he immediately got up and agreed, then turned around and left the Hou's mansion, and went to the barracks to order troops, while Taichu led all his men to Caozhou City to watch the battle.

Not long after, Yang Jian came to the front of the formation of the two armies with [-] soldiers, shouting in the direction of the Jizhou army, but after a while, a pair of men and horses rushed out from the Jizhou army camp.The leader, riding a fiery-eyed golden-eyed beast, with bright armor all over his body, and holding a double pestle in his hands, is the original Jizhou general, and now the general who seeks thieves, Zheng Lun. Behind Zheng Lun, there are many Western monks. People were either riding strange beasts, or standing on top of auspicious clouds, all of them looked at Yang Jian opposite with a haughty look on their faces.

At this time, Zheng Lun also looked at Yang Jian for a long time, and then said

"Hey, the three-eyed kid on the other side, who are you?"

Yang Jian sneered when he heard what Zheng Lun said, and said

"I am a disciple of Qingqiu Mountain. The great Shang Zheng Bei Da Marshal Tai Chu sat down and pioneered Yang Jian. Who are you? Seeing the young master, why don't you get off your horse and die?"

Zheng Lun sneered when he heard Yang Jian's words, and said

"Qingqiu Mountain? At the beginning? Yang Jian? I haven't heard of it. It turned out to be just a nobody. As for me, I am Zheng Lun, the general who seeks thieves under the leadership of Jizhou Housu Huhou, and now leads my Jizhou Rebel Army. Wudao, boy, if you know what is good and what is bad, you should quickly kneel down and accept the surrender, otherwise once the two armies start fighting, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to save your life."

Yang Jian frowned when he heard this, a golden light flashed in the three eyes on his head, the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand trembled, and said with a sneer
"Good thief, I didn't see how capable you are, but your tone is not small. Today, I will see what skills you have."

After all, the two of them moved the three pieces in their hands, and an ax chopped Huashan, just like Zheng Lun's head.
