North of Red Cliff, by the river. Looking at the mist covering the river. The three or four people leading the group were standing by the river, talking in low voices. Behind them, dozens of people in light yellow uniforms stood quietly ten meters away, holding their horses and looking around vigilantly.
"Why did the fog on the river dissipate so late today?" The young man in black robe stood by the river, stretched out his hand, and gently swept towards the mist, as if he wanted to catch the fog in his hand. .
Next to him, a handsome scribe in a long gown also took a look at the fog and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the climate above the Yangtze River is changeable. Presumably, it is because the weather has turned cold recently that it disperses relatively late. Fortunately, here The fog does not block the view, but it does not affect the battle between the two armies."
The young man in black robe known as His Majesty is none other than Qin Yang, Emperor Ming of the Ming Empire. Naturally, Qin Yang couldn't really catch the mist. He waved his palm away, turned his head and smiled lightly: "What Guo Banxian said is absolutely true. It seems that when the Banxian traveled around the world, he also visited the Yangtze River?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "I have been to the Yangtze River, but I have never been to Chibi. Now that it is the decisive battle with the demon army, it would be good to travel to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River."
"Haha, you are quite leisurely." Qin Yang laughed and scolded, then asked: "How are the arrangements for the three hundred thousand rebels going?"
Seeing that Qin Yang was talking about it, Guo Jia couldn't help but put away his smile and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. However, they heard that they could not go to the front line to fight the demon army, so they just complained a little."
Qin Yang smiled slightly, "On the battlefield, we have the sons of our Yellow Turban Army. These common people can help. I am already very grateful. Three hundred thousand people are enough? Do you need me to mobilize some more troops for you?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "That's enough. It was originally in our plan. We never expected that so many people would come. It seems that the influence of His Majesty and Princess Sun in Soochow is really amazing."
"Don't say it's you. Even I didn't expect that my apprentice and Ding Feng would summon so many people. It's a pity that Hanzhong is too far away, otherwise, the people of Soochow would not bother to contribute to our army. " Qin Yang sighed lightly.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I have always had a question in my mind. I wonder if Your Majesty can help me clear it up." Guo Jia suddenly remembered something and asked aloud.
"Are you talking about Chibi?" Qin Yang smiled slightly.
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Indeed, the decisive battle in Chibi was only decided recently. And at that time, Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow, had many excellent places to choose from. However, your majesty arranged for Princess Sun and General Ding to come to Soochow, but the two What happened years ago. Could it be that His Majesty had already predicted at that time that there would be a big battle in Chibi?"
" This question is not only Guo Jia's, but also Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai around them. Last time, it was Qin Yang who told Guo Jia to send Meng Huo to lead a hundred thousand barbarian troops to assist Soochow early. But this time, today's battle situation in Chibi was already laid out two years ago. Every time, it seemed as if Qin Yang had expected it.
Qin Yang looked at the three of them, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you think my trip to heaven this time is in vain?"
Heaven Realm everyone suddenly understood. Qin Yang made the matter very clear with just one sentence, but in fact he didn't understand it very well. Everyone has not been to heaven, but they know it. Heaven is definitely a wonderful place. It's not surprising that Qin Yang could predict some things after going to the heaven.
Qin Yang stopped talking when he saw everyone. Then he continued: "Actually, it is not as magical as you think. There are only a few things that I can foresee. Now the situation is different, many things have changed. If you want to defeat the demon army, you still need to You can only work together with the soldiers of the three armies."
Everyone nodded in relief, but as for what Qin Yang said, they could only foresee a few things, and they didn't know what the specific changes were. However, in this battle against the demon army, although they were evenly matched or even slightly at a disadvantage, everyone was still confident. Not for anything else, just because of the man standing in front of him. As long as he is around, the Yellow Turban Army will be invincible. For a long time, even talented and knowledgeable people such as Guo Jiaxi Zhicai and others have always regarded Qin Yang as their backbone.
"Is that the general of the Yellow Turban Army in front of you?" Just as Qin Yang and the counselors were talking by the river, an old voice suddenly came from upstream in the mist. After a while, a small boat floated down the river and soon arrived in front of everyone.
On the bow of the boat, stood an old man dressed in cloth, with white hair and a childish face. On the boat, a canopy was built with reed mats, and the opening of the canopy was covered with a curtain. It was unknown what was inside.
After arriving in front of everyone, the old man chuckled, raised his hands to everyone and said again: "Everyone,The general of the Yellow Turban Army? "
I saw that although this old man was wearing civilian clothes, he had an extraordinary demeanor and looked as if he were a fairy. Qin Yang hurriedly smiled and said in return: "I'm here to invite you. We are the Yellow Turban Army. I wonder if I have any advice?"
The old man nodded, then raised his finger and pointed into the canopy of the boat, and said: "I accidentally rescued a person on the river today. Listening to this person's words may be helpful to your army. If it is convenient for you, you might as well meet this person. ?¡±
"Oh?" Qin Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, no matter who the old man was saving. But just by the few words that the old man said to everyone, Qin Yang had already felt that this person was definitely an extraordinary person.
"May I ask my father-in-law, what is your surname? Why can't you see the person you saved?" As he spoke, Qin Yang couldn't help but show his strong interest in this old man.
The old man smiled slightly and said: "This man seems to be a soldier of the Han army. The tendons of his hands and feet were severed. Although he was reconnected by me, he is still unable to walk. As for me, he is just a soldier. It¡¯s just Xianyun Yehe, but his name has long been forgotten.¡±
"The soldiers of the Han army?" Qin Yang's expression moved slightly, and he winked at Guo Jia who was standing aside. Guo Jia immediately understood and walked to the shore and said, "My father-in-law, I wonder if I can board the ship and take a look?"
The old man nodded and said, "Sir, what I want is exactly what I want."
As he spoke, the old man gently tapped the long bamboo pole in his hand under the water, and the boat approached the shore again. Guo Jia didn't hesitate. Before the boat could stop, he jumped on board. Open the curtain and look inside the boat canopy.
At this moment, Ergouzi had already woken up in the boat canopy. I don¡¯t know what method the old man used. Er Gouzi's severed limbs and limbs have all been reconnected. Although my hands and feet are still unable to move with force. But at least it avoids the pain of being disabled.
"Are you the Yellow Turban Army?" This was Er Gouzi's first words after meeting Guo Jia. He heard clearly the conversation between the old man and Qin Yang just now. Being able to finally see the Yellow Turban Army he had dreamed of made Ergouzi extremely excited, and he even forgot about his injuries.
"Little brother, don't be anxious, speak slowly." Guo Jia hurriedly got up, supported Ergouzi who had just climbed up and was about to fall again, and said.
And at this moment. Qin Yang was also on the shore and smiled at the old man and said, "If it's convenient for me, can I go ashore and visit Jiangxia City?"
When the old man heard this, he also laughed and said: "I won't go to Jiangxia City. I am used to being idle by myself. I just want to wander around the rivers and lakes and do some things to save lives and heal the wounded. Alas, this time Chibi is fighting. But I don't know. How many lives are in ruins. I will stay on the Yangtze River and save as many as I can"
As he spoke, the old man seemed a little sad. A sense of compassion and compassion arose spontaneously. Those who heard this couldn't help but feel their hearts sink, and they saw countless corpses flowing down the river. The surging river water was a tragic scene of bright red.
At this moment, I have been standing aside. Xi Zhicai, who was drinking and silent, suddenly said: "This fellow Taoist has a wonderful hand and a kind heart. He is also compassionate and compassionate. We are only one step away from enlightenment, but why are we troubled in this world of life and death and can't extricate ourselves? ? Regardless of humans or animals, as long as there is wisdom, there will be thoughts, and if there are thoughts, there will be passion. This passion is the source of struggle. Great prosperity must decline, great chaos must be cured, the way of heaven reciprocates, and the laws of heaven cycle. Fellow Taoists, you should be more open-minded."
Although Xi Zhicai¡¯s words were flat, his voice was extremely relaxed. But whether he heard it in Qin Yang's ears or in the ears of others, he couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment. But only the old man on the boat sighed and smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he looked at Xi Zhicai with a smile and said: "Fellow Taoist has realized the truth, and I admire you endlessly. However, I am born with a weak heart and cannot see the misery of the common people. Moreover, I have no intention of becoming an immortal. Just as what the fellow Taoist said. , In this life, immortality is what mortals want, but to live without regrets and to die without regrets, isn¡¯t it also a wonderful thing? I will bear in mind the words of my fellow Taoist, and I would like to thank you here."
"There is no need to say thank you to those who share the same Taoism. If we are destined, I hope that I can prove the Taoism together with my Taoist friends." Xi Zhicai heard the old man's words and couldn't help but straighten his expression, put away his usual arrogance, and said quietly.
Watching the two of them fighting there, Qin Yang was thoughtful, and suddenly his heart moved. After the two of them bowed to each other, they suddenly smiled at the old man and said, "If my guess is correct, you must be Mr. Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor, right? Qin Yang, you are polite."
"Qin Yang?" When the old man heard Qin Yang's words, he was startled at first, and then he couldn't help but suddenly realized. No wonder he couldn't see through this young man in black robes even with his cultivation level that was about to become an immortal. It turned out that this man was Qin Yang, the Ming Emperor. If he were Qin Yang, it would not be difficult to guess his identity.
Thinking of this, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo smiled, bowed slightly and said: "It turns out that you are His Majesty Emperor Ming, ISorry, if there is any offense, please forgive me. "
Qin Yang also smiled and said: "Why did Mr. Hua say this? I have heard about the name of the miracle doctor for a long time, but it is a pity that the miracle doctor is uncertain. I am lucky to see him today."
Hua Tuo couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that Qin Yang's attitude was still humble after revealing his identity. Moreover, his only disciple Zhen Mi was now also in the Yellow Turban Army, so he naturally had a better impression of Qin Yang.
"Just now, I have been wondering why this Taoist friend has already enlightened and become an immortal, but he is willing to worship you. Now it seems that His Majesty Emperor Ming is indeed extraordinary, and I admire him."
Hua Tuo¡¯s words naturally refer to Xi Zhicai. People who have become immortals generally disdain to participate in worldly affairs. Although Hua Tuo has not become an immortal, he still has an immortal spirit and is naturally unwilling to work for the powerful. At first glance, this statement seems to be belittling Xi Zhicai, but in fact it is Hua Tuo's sincere admiration for Qin Yang.
Who is Xi Zhicai? Naturally, I could hear the true meaning in Hua Tuo's words, and couldn't help but smile proudly and said: "Your Majesty is naturally the wise master, but I am assisting Your Majesty. Firstly, I am impressed by Your Majesty. Secondly, in order to become a true immortal, I have to die. Cause and effect. And my cause and effect is Your Majesty."
Hua Tuo nodded, although he is beautiful and becomes an immortal. But he also knows that in order to reach the true immortal from the loose immortal, one must resolve the matter of cause and effect. Just like the three immortals, the cause and effect of the three of them are different. Mr. Shui Jing is to continue the Han Empire and prevent it from collapsing before destiny, while Nanhua Immortal and Zuo Ci are to kill the demon lord. Although the three people have different causes and effects, they are connected because of friendship. But they advance and retreat together, resolve cause and effect together, and become true immortals.
At this moment, Guo Jia had already supported Er Gouzi and walked out of the boat canopy. Ergouzi naturally heard what Qin Yang and others said just now. Now he was trembling all over and staring at Qin Yang with excitement.
"Huh?" Qin Yang looked at the young boy Guo Jia was supporting, and couldn't help being slightly startled, and blurted out: "Could it be that he had an epileptic seizure?!"
Guo Jia smiled bitterly. Ergouzi has been like this since Qin Yang reported his name just now. Fortunately, Guo Jia had already asked Qingchu what he should ask, and now he saw Qin Yang asking. Then he said seriously: "Reporting to your majesty, according to what this person said, at dawn today, the demon army has begun to attack the Han army's water stronghold, and the method of the demon army's attack is extremely strange. Tens of thousands of warships are sailing on the thin In the fog. Unless you are close, you can't notice it at all."
"What?" Qin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Originally, he just thought that the mist was a little unusual, but he didn't expect that there was such a mystery hidden in the mist? !
Thinking of this, Qin Yang took a step forward and asked Ergouzi, who had been helped to the shore by Guo Jia: "This little brother, what is your name?"
"I, I" Facing Qin Yang at such a close distance, Er Gouzi turned pale with excitement. He murmured for a long time before stammering: "Two, Er Gouzi"
"OhBrother Ergouzi, can you tell us in detail what you saw?" Qin Yang smiled slightly, trying to look kinder, and asked lightly.
Seeing Qin Yang smiling at him, Ergouzi felt a "buzz" in his mind, as if his whole body was floating. After a while, under Guo Jia's guidance, he slowly talked about what happened.
Being extremely excited, Er Gouzi¡¯s narrative was naturally a little vague. Fortunately, Qin Yang understood the whole story, and after going through it in his mind, he didn't find any doubts.
So Qin Yang took a long breath and sighed softly: "I have wronged you, brother Ergouzi. You are good, your boss is a hero, and the Han brothers in your three ships are also heroes. .¡±
"Really?!" Ergouzi looked at Qin Yang in disbelief. How great an honor would it be to be personally commended by the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban Army and the Emperor of the Ming Empire? ! Er Gouzi now even has the urge to burst into tears. What he is facing is the hero in the hearts of all men in the world!
"But, General Cai and General Zhang" At this point, Ergouzi looked a little depressed.
Qin Yang snorted softly and said: "Zhang Yun and Cai Mao? It's just a wine bag and rice bag. On weekdays, when there is no war, he has some ability to train troops, but when it comes to critical moments, he fails to succeed and fails."
Qin Yang turned his head and said to Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai: "Old Jia, Lao Xi, you two should go back immediately and order the Shenji camp to follow the river. In addition, the Heishan and Yinjia armies are rushing to Red Cliff. If When the demon army attacked the camp on the shore, our army immediately rescued the Han army and could not let the Han army be annihilated by the demon army. In addition, we immediately sent people to the lower reaches to see if Pang Tong and the others had arrived. According to time estimates, they should have arrived in Jiangxia.It's close. If they arrive in Jiangxia, tell them there is no need to rest and go into battle immediately, giving the Demon Army Navy a fatal blow from the rear! "
After Qin Yang issued the order in one breath, he turned to Hua Tuo and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hua, the military affairs are urgent at the moment, and Qin is so negligent. My disciple is in Jiangxia City at the moment, I don't know, sir"
"Haha, Your Majesty is so polite. I'm just a wandering cloud and wild crane, and I never like to be restrained. I won't go to Jiangxia City. As for Mi'er It's good to have His Majesty's care. Now that the war is about to begin, I will continue. Just wander around on this river. If your Majesty needs me for anything, just call me on the river and say goodbye."
After saying that, Hua Tuo nodded and smiled slightly at Xi Zhicai, propped up the bamboo pole, and the boat slowly left the shore, and disappeared in the mist after a moment.
"Your Majesty, this little brother" After Hua Tuo left, Guo Jia asked Ergouzi, who was staring at Qin Yang for a moment.
"Oh, this little brother is injured. You can arrange for him to return to Jiangxia City to rest in a while. I will go to this battle in person. You just have to do your job well." Qin Yang said while getting on his horse. .
"His Majesty Emperor Ming! I want to join the Yellow Turban Army. I want to go to the battlefield, kill the demon army, and avenge my brothers!" Ergouzi got the strength from nowhere and suddenly said loudly to Qin Yang.
"Well, that's good! But we have to wait until you recover from your injury." Qin Yang smiled slightly and asked casually: "Oh, by the way, little brother, what's your name?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Jiang Qin!"
"Oh, Jiang Qin." Qin Yang nodded and was about to turn his horse away when he suddenly started and turned around in shock: "Your name is Jiang Qin?!" (To be continued)
