The crowd dispersed quickly.

But Zhang Tian's arrival in Xiangyang City was like throwing a huge rock on the lake, causing huge waves.

To the north and south, it spread to the capitals of the two countries.

…………

Tianjin Kingdom, Zhongdu (Yanjing).

Tianjin Kingdom originated from the Jurchens in the northeast. After its rise, it united with the Han people in the south and defeated the Liao Dynasty.

So it moved from the bitter cold Shangjing Huining Prefecture (Acheng, Heilongjiang) to Zhongdu (Yanjing).

The Jurchens won the world on horseback, but it was impossible to rule the world on horseback.

So, the more advanced Han culture caught their eyes.

The court, official positions, and legal system were all transitioning to the Han system.

The emperor of Tianjin Kingdom at this time was Tianhui Emperor Wanyan Sheng.

Although he was an emperor, he was wearing a mink coat and a white fur hat, sitting high on the dragon throne, looking down at all the ministers.

Among these officials, there were Jurchens wearing fur coats and Han people wearing Confucian clothes. There was no uniform clothing.

Emperor Tianhui held a war report in his hand and said slowly: "You have all read the news, right? Did the Han people really have immortals coming down to earth to help?"

The officials looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

Emperor Tianhui was impatient and called out his name, "Zhang Jue, you are a Han Chinese, what do you think?"

A Han official in Confucian clothes had to step out and said, "Your Majesty, Confucianism says: Confucius does not talk about strange things."

"Since ancient times, although there have been many stories about gods and immortals, there is no real evidence."

"I think it should be a trick of the Nan'an Dynasty."

"Decades ago, the imperial star moved north and blessed the rise of Tianjin. The Nan'an Dynasty declined, and the people in the country were uneasy, so they made an immortal descend to the earth to confront Tianjin in momentum."

"Humph!" A general in fur said coldly, "What kind of trick can make 500 people attack my 30,000 cavalry? And win the battle?"

"This... I don't know."

The first time 5,000 Hu people were wiped out by General Guo, Tianjin Kingdom can ignore it.

After all, they also knew the fighting power of the miscellaneous soldiers, and they didn't have many war horses, so they were not good enough to face the elite of the Nan'an Dynasty.

However, the 30,000 cavalry led by General Zhanhan arrived the next day.

Unexpectedly, the battle report said that 500 people attacked the army, and the immortals sent down red divine light from the sky, killing countless people.

In the end, there was a hundred-meter flame like a heavenly punishment, which destroyed thousands of people.

As a result, tens of thousands of cavalry were terrified and fled in panic.

The thousands of Hu soldiers who returned were crazy, with deep fear in their eyes.

Tianjin Kingdom has fought for a lifetime, with countless casualties, and has never seen its soldiers so scared.

These soldiers are basically useless and no longer have the courage to face Xiangyang.

Because there are too many Hu troops, even if they were killed by Xiangyang soldiers all the way, there are still thousands of people who escaped back to Tianjin Kingdom.

Naturally, the battle report brought back has been verified by many parties, and it is true.

The more this happened, the more chilled the Tianjing Kingdom's high-ranking officials felt when they saw the battle report.

The fur general shouted, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me take another 50,000 cavalry to Xiangyang City to meet that demon?"

Emperor Tianhui said, "It's almost winter now, it's not appropriate to start another war, let's talk about it next year."

Suddenly, another official in Hanfu stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the Book of Rites says: Everything is established if it is prepared, and it will be abandoned if it is not prepared."

"We must prepare for the worst. I dare to ask you, if it is really a fairy who has descended to the earth, what should we do? Do we really have to send troops next year?"

Everyone was speechless: "This..."

From the battle report, the strength of this "demon" is really exaggerated.

Tianjing Kingdom has always had a psychological advantage over the Nan'an Dynasty, and was unwilling to admit it. It kept thinking about pretending to be a ghost and comforting itself.

It even couldn't wait to challenge, expose the Han people's "pretending to be a ghost", and severely humiliate the Nan'an Dynasty.

However, if he is really an immortal, wouldn’t it be courting death to provoke him again?

When the punishment from heaven comes, even the emperor hiding in Zhongdu may not be safe.

Although this is the worst estimate, judging from the current battle report, this guess is very likely to be true.

For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Emperor Tianhui said angrily: "Our Tianjin Kingdom has the emperor star shining, are we going to stop just because of a defeat in a war?"

The Han man named Zhang Jue said: "Your Majesty, since he claims to be an immortal, why don’t you ask the high priest about this matter of gods and ghosts?"

The ministers nodded one after another: "That makes sense, we almost forgot about the high priest."

"Let the high priest pray to the heavens, maybe the heavens will send the immortals of our Tianjin Kingdom to help us."

The Tianjin Kingdom was originally a backward slave society, and naturally there were clergy for various sacrifices.

But in recent years, relying on ironThe cavalry conquered a large area of ​​land and believed only in the military force in their hands, so naturally no one paid attention to the sacrificial personnel.

Now that they have encountered such a bizarre defeat, involving heaven and gods, they only remembered them.

Emperor Tianhui led a group of ministers to the Taimiao.

After simply burning incense, he showed the battle report to the high priest.

"High priest, is there really an immortal in Nan'an Dynasty? Where are the gods of my Tianjin Kingdom? Can you ask them to come down to earth and control the monster in Xiangyang City?"

The emperor's series of questions almost confused the high priest.

The content of the battle report made the high priest terrified.

He thought to himself that this Han "monster" had such an exaggerated record, whether it was a real immortal or pretending to be a god, he could not deal with it.

Usually he claimed that he could ask the gods to come up and communicate with heaven.

But how much water is there in it, others don't know, how can I not know - it's all water, not a bit true!

Now the emperor came to ask in person, if the answer was not good, he might be beheaded.

The high priest pretended to be mysterious.

He danced a sacrificial dance for a while, then slowly lit incense, and finally burned the battle report to the sky.

After a long time of tossing and turning, he finally thought of a way and pretended to calculate.

"Your Majesty, the hexagram shows that the evil spirit has appeared in the world. There is a very simple way to verify whether it is an immortal."

"What method?"

"Find out if he has eaten?"

Emperor Tianhui was stunned, and then laughed: "I understand!"

………………

The capital of the Nan'an Dynasty, Lin'an Prefecture.

Someone had already sent intelligence to the court about the Hu people going south to raid the valley.

In previous years, they just had to defend the city tightly, allowing the Hu people to plunder some property, food and people, and they would naturally go back.

As winter approaches, it is unlikely to provoke a war.

Otherwise, if they defended for a month or two, the snow would fall and the Hu army would freeze to death outside Xiangyang.

However, in the morning court that day, an urgent war report of 600 miles was received.

General Guo said in the letter: In order to protect the people of our dynasty, we went out of the city to fight against the Hu army.

In the palace, morning court.

Emperor Anyou was shocked and angry when he took the military report: "Defending the city is a loss to the country, a loss to the country."

"At the beginning, I gave him the name of Shoucheng, and repeatedly told him to defend Xiangyang City well, which was a great achievement."

"How can he take risks for the people outside the city."
