"What happened there?" On the city wall of Xiangyang City, Cai Hao and his subordinates stood on the tower, looking puzzled at the area shrouded in black miasma. ././//
The sky at this moment was covered with dark clouds, and it was scary and gloomy, with lightning flashing from time to time, as if the sky was angry.
"Have all our troops and horses been withdrawn?" Cai Hao turned to look at the generals beside him.
The lieutenant general nodded, clasped his fists and said, "To the Commander-in-Chief, everyone has withdrawn, except"
"Except for what?"
"Liu Bei's men did not enter the city. According to reports from the soldiers who saw them, they seemed to have gone to Jiangling"
"Liu Bei?" Cai Hao frowned and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just let him go. I care more about it than this" As he said that, he looked at the area shrouded in miasma. area, murmuring in his mouth, "It's not me, Xiangyang, and it's not that Liu Bei, so who is it that's contending with Zhang Susu's army of more than 100,000 people right now?"
"Could it be reinforcements from other counties?" A general interjected hesitantly.
Hearing this, Cai Mao looked at him angrily and said unceremoniously, "Even my 200,000 elite navy troops in Xiangyang can't stop that Zhang Susu. Do you think those rabble-rousers from other counties can do it?" As he said, He let out a long sigh and said angrily, "I didn't expect that the soldiers and horses under Zhang Susu's command were so majesticand those monsters transformed by sorcery"
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do?" Cai Hao glared at his subordinates angrily. Bitter said. "The only way to defeat us is to surrender!" As he said this, he glanced at his younger brother Cai Zhong beside him and lowered his voice and said, "Is that guy still in the city?"
Cai Zhong understood, and also lowered his voice and said, "Brother, don't worry, there is only a weak civil servant next to the master, so there is nothing to be afraid of. I have secretly sent people to seal off the four sides of the mansion. Keep him safe." You can¡¯t escape even if you have wings!¡±
Hearing this, Cai Hao took a long breath, nodded and said, "Well. That's good, that's good. That gentleman is our last bargaining chip. Remember to make it foolproof!"
"Yes, brother!" Cai Zhong nodded, but he was quite disapproving of it.
There is no doubt that the gentleman he is referring to is the current emperor Liu Xie, and the so-called powerless civil servant is obviously Jia Xu. In order to keep an eye on these two people, Cai Zhong sent 500 people to blockade the mansion. In his opinion, this was foolproof.
But, is this really foolproof?-
At the same time, the hillside about two miles south of Xiangyang City-
"Wen He, why do you and I run away? Isn't our original purpose to come to Jingzhou to rescue you?" Liu Xie, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, pulled Jia Xu's sleeves with a puzzled look on his face.
Jia Xu smiled slightly when he heard this and said respectfully, "That's because the situation has changed"
"Huh?"
Seeing Liu Xie¡¯s face full of doubts. Jia Xu explained softly, "I originally thought that since Your Majesty and Liu Biao belong to the same clan, Jingzhou might be the best way to go, but I didn't expect that Jingzhou, which has been peaceful for a long time, is so vulnerable. Your Majesty also saw it. Then Cai Mao They sent heavy troops to surround the mansion where we live. I¡¯m afraid it wasn¡¯t really out of a desire to protect, but to leave a way out for myself"
"The way out?"
"Ah, according to my opinion, the war situation is now obviously unfavorable to Jingzhou. According to the rumors circulating in the market a few days ago, it is not difficult to imagine that Cai Mao has the intention to sacrifice us in exchange for glory from Zhang Susu"
"This" Liu Xie turned pale in shock and said in disbelief, "Liu Jingsheng is from the same clan as me. Could it be that he"
"Maybe it's not about Liu Jingzhou, it's just Cai Mao's personal opinion," he waved his hand to interrupt Liu Xie's words. Jia Xu let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "It's just that if this happens, we can no longer be here." Jingzhou has been here for a long time" As he spoke, he sighed again, frowned and said, "I thought I could borrow Jingzhou's 200,000 soldiers to help your Majesty revitalize the Han Dynasty, but I didn't want to What a pity! What a pity!"
"I'm very pleased that Wen He has this heart, but" As he said that, Liu Xie's face showed a bit of sadness, and he murmured, "From Xudu to Jingzhou, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my ears. Hear, this world really no longer belongs to me, Yan Liu, and the people's support has been lost!"
"Your Majesty"
Taking a deep breath, Liu Xie put on a forced smile and said bitterly, "Actually, although Wen He didn't say it clearly, I understand that Wen He took me away from Xudu, although he wanted to use Jingzhou. The military force was used to regain the prestige of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, it was just so that I would no longer be threatened by Zhang Susu.Forced? ¡ª¡ªIn fact, Wen He knew very well that with the power of that woman now, it would be extremely difficult to revive the Han Dynasty! "
"" Jia Xu was speechless.
To be honest, he didn't have much loyalty to the Han royal family, he just simply couldn't worry about Liu Xie. As Liu Xie said, this time Jia Xu took Liu Xie and took the opportunity to leave Xudu, not so much because he wanted to The reason why the Han royal family regained its strength was rather to free Liu Xie, so as not to be controlled by Zhang Susu like a puppet all day long.
"Maybe it's not bad to be a powerless commoner!" Liu Xie said with a smile, but his smile was a little forced.
Jia Xu laughed a few times in response, because he really didn't know what to say. Although he could take Liu Xie to escape from Xudu, he could also take him to escape from the hands of the five hundred elites sent by Cai Zhong. , but Jia Xu really had no idea how to defeat Zhang Susu.
"It would be great if Master Chen Chang was still here, and Sister Tang Ji" Liu Xie sighed quietly. After all, he was just a child of sixteen or seventeen years old. When faced with difficulties, he would inevitably I will think of those closest to me.
For Liu Xie, apart from Jia Xu, the closest people to him now are probably Chen Su and Tang Xiner, even though Chen Su was once his father-killing enemy.
Looking at the lonely expression on Liu Xie's face, Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability. He raised his hand to rub Liu Xie's head and comforted him softly. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Hearsays are just hearsays after all. We believe that General Chen and Mrs. Chen will be safe and sound and turn danger into good luck!"
"Yeah!" Liu Xie nodded with joy, then looked at Jia Xu curiously and said doubtfully, "Speaking of which, Wen He, what are we doing here?"
A look of surprise flashed across Jia Xu's face, and she turned her head subconsciously. Looking at the distant area shrouded in miasma, he sighed and said, "Wei Chen is waiting for the result"
"result?"
"Hmm! - Your Majesty, have you seen that place shrouded in miasma"
"Um!"
"There. There is our last hope. If even he is defeated, then there will really be no one in the world who can deal with that Zhang Susu"
"Huh?" Liu Xie said with a bit of surprise and curiosity on his face when he heard this, "Who is that?"
Jia Xu stared intently into the distance for a long time, then suddenly let out a long breath.
"Immortal! - the incarnation of heaven!"-
At the same time, the battlefield thirty miles south of Xiangyang City -
In this area shrouded in miasma, Zhang Susu's battle against the sky is still going on with difficulty.
Zhang Liao's 100,000-square-foot Southern Army withdrew first, and then. The Qingzhou soldiers also withdrew. Apart from Zhang Susu, Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and other powerful figures, the only ones left were the millions of Yellow Turban heroic souls and dozens of monsters who were still with the immortal. Fighting to the death.
It has to be said that in the face of the powerful power of this immortal, all Zhang Susu's trump cards were completely disabled. After spending nearly a hundred fierce and divine first-level monsters, they were all destroyed, and most of the millions of Yellow Turban heroic souls were turned into ashes. At such a heavy price of annihilation, Zhang Susu's side finally injured the immortal for the first time. And it was a serious injury.
"Tick tock, tick tock"
The golden blood fell to the ground, as dazzling as gold. It must be said that this immortal is really different from the world, his blood. It turned out to be golden.
However, people like Chen Er and others paid an even heavier price. Even Zhang Susu's plain white clothes, which were usually not stained by any dust, were stained red by blood at this moment.
Not far from the immortal, a giant dragon several hundred meters long was lying on the ground dying. Under the crazy offensive of millions of yellow scarf heroic souls regardless of life and death, even the dragon scales on this giant dragon were lost. Being stripped.
It is hard to imagine that the one showing such a embarrassed state would be the most powerful dragon-shaped monster in ancient times, the existence that dominates time and space, Zhulong.
¡°Finally¡ finally we¡¯ve come this far¡ cough cough!¡± As he spoke, Gao Lan spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
"Ah!" Wiping the blood on the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth and turned his head to look around at what looked like a sea of ??bones. Then he looked at Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Li Dian and other ten thousand enemies who were unconscious and lying on the ground covered in blood. After taking a few deep breaths, he said bitterly, "It's just that the price is too high"
"Indeed" Looking at the lost souls of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Liao silently sighed, and then glanced at his trembling hands.
Since the beginning of the war, there has been enough progressAt this hour, even as gods of war, everyone's physical strength and energy were almost exhausted. Except for Chen Er, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Susu, who were still besieging the immortal with countless yellow scarf heroes, even Lu Bu, Sun Jian, and Zhang The absolute strongest men in the world such as Jia and Zhang Liao also had to temporarily withdraw from the battle circle and rest for a while.
"Hahahaha, have fun!" Chen Er, whose face was mostly corroded by the immortal's Yang Qi, laughed loudly after the attack.
"Isn't this guy feeling tired?" Zhang Jia and Zhang Liao thought angrily.
"Boom!"
With the wave of the immortal's hand, half of Dong Zhuo, who was controlling the nine dragons, turned into gray. However, in an instant, Jiu Ying's powerful recovery ability restored Dong Zhuo to his original self. It must be said that Jiu Ying's powerful recovery ability restored Dong Zhuo to his original state. Ying's near-immortal ability, coupled with Dong Zhuo's current body as a ghoul, is simply even more powerful.
Precisely because of this, even when Lu Bu, Sun Jian and others had to retreat, Dong Zhuo was still able to fight on the front line.
¡°Well, I got beaten.
This is Dong Zhuo's only role at the moment.
Maybe some people will laugh at this, joking that Dong Zhuo, who was the mighty god of war in the past, is now like a sandbag, withstanding the immortal's attacks again and again. But in fact, without his help, Chen Er, Zhang Susu, and Zhang Jiao would have lost their lives. There is no way the three of them can still stand now.
"Chen Er, hurry up! I can't hold on anymore!" Dong Zhuo, who had always paid attention to his self-cultivation since he was reborn as a free man, finally couldn't help but curse this time.
However, on the other side, Chen Er was secretly upset that he could not seriously hurt the immortal. After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, his expression became even more unswerving, and he cursed loudly, "It's so noisy, I even used the strength to feed myself!" ¡ª¡ªThis guy¡¯s skin is too tough!¡±
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Susu used magic to block Chen Er's blow, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Er. You take action as much as possible, and my uncle and I will support you from the side!"
"" Only Zhang Jiao remained silent from beginning to end.
"Bang!" Finally, Chen Er was knocked out. Half of the body was shattered.
Dong Zhuo and Zhang Susu followed. Fortunately, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan and others could see clearly and quickly stepped forward to support the two.
"Boom!"
With a loud thunder-like sound, the white sky thunder in the immortal's hand collided with the red divine thunder in Zhang Jiao's hand. The violent energy suddenly caused a circle of air waves, shaking the souls of the yellow scarf heroes all around. Retired most of it.
"Uncle?" Glancing at Zhang Susu who was opening his jaw and wiping the blood from his mouth with Gao Lan's support, the immortal showed some doubts in his eyes and frowned and said, "I just wanted to say it, why are you pretending to be Zhang Jiao?"
The words just fell. There was a look of shock in Zhang Jue's eyes, and he lowered his voice and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am Zhang Jue!"
"Isn't that right?" The immortal snorted lightly, and while raising his hand to block a red thunder, he said expressionlessly, "The real Zhang Jiao has already lost his soul" As he said, he glanced at Zhang Jiao and said lightly. . "You are not Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao's younger brother!"
"" Zhang Jiao, whose expression changed drastically, suddenly changed his previous offensive, suddenly raised his hand and pressed the immortal's forehead, and pressed him hard to the ground.
Just listen to a rapid sound of electricity. A bolt of red lightning fell from the sky and struck the two of them. With a puff, the immortal spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I am Zhang Jiao!" Zhang Jiao said angrily, looking at Zhang Susu in the distance with an uneasy look.
"I see" The immortal stood up unsteadily and said in a calm tone, "In order to make up for the debt he owed to his daughter in the past, did he pretend to be your brother who was in despair?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Jiao, who had always been expressionless, actually showed an angry look.
"That's all, this matter has nothing to do with me anyway" As he said that, the immortal stood up unsteadily again.
It has to be said that he is much more embarrassed now than before. The green scholar's shirt was covered with dust and red and gold blood, and the bun on his head was also messed up.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky shrouded in yellow gas. It was precisely because of the thick yellow gas that he lost contact with the way of heaven, and his strength gradually weakened. After all, the so-called immortals were actually only in comparison with each other in terms of strength. Others are just more powerful beings. After an hour-long fierce battle, their strength will inevitably weaken. Haven't you seen that the martial gods Lu Bu and Zhang Liao have already lost their fighting power?
What¡¯s even more embarrassing is that Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others had time to rest, but this immortal didn¡¯t even have a chance to breathe. As long as heIf he stops, the millions of Yellow Turban heroic souls will swamp him again.
No wonder, as powerful as this immortal, how could Zhang Susu give him a moment of rest?
Finally, the silver light on the immortal's body became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared without a trace. Right now, he looked no different from ordinary people.
Is it true that he was isolated for so long that he could not get timely replenishment of strength from Heaven?
"Can man conquer the sky?" The immortal looked up silently at the yellow air in the sky. He knew very well what the yellow air was. It was countless yellow turban heroic souls fighting with their own heroic spirits. What remains after the thunder is something like will and belief.
Under the incomprehensible gazes of Zhang Susu and others, the immortal murmured, "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency if there is excess. The way of man is not the same. If there is not enough damage, there is more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve? There is only Taoism in the world. He does not rely on saints, he does not show up for success, and he does not want to see virtuous people"
"What is that guy talking about?" He opened his jaw and looked at Gao Lan in astonishment. Then he seemed to remember something and said in shock, "Could it be that he was chanting some weird spell?"
"It's not like" Gao Lan shook his head suspiciously.
The words just fell. Then he glanced at Zhang Liao and opened his jaw. He said calmly, "That person is saying that justice in the way of heaven refers to justice to the world. Therefore, the way of heaven is to reduce the excess to make up for the deficiency, but people are just the opposite, to sacrifice the poverty and insufficient to worship the rich. If you have more than enough, who can make more than enough to serve the world? Only people with the Tao. Therefore, the sage does something but does not rely on his own ability. He does not take credit for his achievements and is proud of himself. He does not want to show his virtue. - Read more. !¡±
"You guy!" Zhang Jia's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Zhang Liao.
"This is not a spell. It is a precept used to restrain oneself and exercise self-discipline." Sun Jian glanced at the immortal with a slightly surprised look. He frowned and said, "This statement comes from the Tao Te Ching, which was written by the Taoist sage Lao Tzu. , from this point of view, this immortal may have been a well-read man before"
Sun Jian was talking when he suddenly saw the immortal sighing deeply and saying in a deep voice. "The signs of heaven and earth, the order of yin and yang, the manifestations of change, and the signs of life and death are all in Tiangang" As he spoke, he paused, and after taking a deep look at Zhang Susu, he shook his head and said, "Heaven, Two people; two people. Follow; follow, Cong Apart from me, you can't change anything!"
After saying that, his whole body turned into countless pieces of glass-like things with a bang. Gone with the wind.
"Winwin?" Zhang Jia asked in disbelief.
"Bigprobably" Gao Lan answered vaguely. After all, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"oh!"
After a brief silence. Everyone raised their arms and cheered, and even the hundreds of thousands of remaining Yellow Turban heroes also shouted loudly.
Only Zhang Susu frowned and walked to the place where the immortal disappeared. She glanced at the glass-like fragments on the ground with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Finally, finally" The blood-covered man let out a long breath. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and asked, "By the way, what did that guy say before he died? What the hell, man?" of?"
At this time, Chen Er, who had lost half of his body, came back with the dragon halberd gun in his remaining right hand, and said lightly, "He said that he is just one of the countless identities of Tiandao, and killing him will not change it. What¡¡"
"Is thisreally?" Zhang Jia looked shocked, and the other generals also looked horrified.
No wonder, Zhang Susu paid an extremely heavy price for this incident. And if, as the immortal said, there are countless incarnations of heaven in the world, wouldn't it be
Perhaps noticing the shocked expression on his open-jawed face, Zhang Susu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, when Heaven chooses his incarnation, he pays great attention to the character and morality of the person he chooses. I can be sure that he is the only immortal in the world today, otherwise , how can Heaven, who can understand everything, just ask him to deal with us?"
When the generals heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt relieved.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? If there were two immortals in the world, I¡¯m afraid the other one would have come to help a long time ago. You know, just now, even Tiandao himself came forward to protect this immortal.
"But it will be hard to say in the future" Zhang Susu sighed slightly. She also knew that once the immortal in front of her died, Heaven would definitely choose another suitable candidate. At that time, all she could do was pray. Pray to Heaven. It was impossible to find a replacement on short notice.
After all, the way of heaven itself has no so-called concepts of good and evil.? The reason why Heavenly Dao targeted the Yellow Turban in the past was simply because of the subjective consciousness of that immortal.
To put it simply, Tiandao just wanted to maintain the current situation and did not allow the change of dynasty to happen, and gave this task to the immortal. Therefore, the immortal had no choice but to stimulate the Han Dynasty by raising troops against the Han Dynasty with the Yellow Turban Army. , to prevent this increasingly decadent dynasty from perishing in comfort.
But now, that immortal has fallen, and the hostility of the Heavenly Dao towards the Yellow Turban Army has naturally disappeared. Even if it existed, it would not be able to deal with Zhang Susu and the Yellow Turbans personally. To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Dao itself is a combination of rules and laws, and even he can't. You cannot violate the rules you have set, otherwise you will lose the meaning of making rules.
It¡¯s like a game of chess. If there are no rules, wouldn¡¯t it be a complete mess?
At the end of August in the fourth year of Jian'an, large-scale heavy rains occurred continuously all over the world. The heavy rain, mixed with lightning and thunder, lasted for seven days.
And seven days later, everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened, and people everywhere continued to live their lives as usual.
Only some people with outstanding knowledge can detect some clues from the unusual celestial phenomena.
God, things have changed
The great man¡¯s luck has finally come to an end (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
