Chapter 50 Thief

Jiang Ziyan couldn't bear this breath and said, "I'm going to pay homage to him? Don't think about it! I'll take the medicine myself and adjust my meridians. I'll go directly to see the emperor tomorrow, and I'll say that the medicine in the palace has been cured and I can go to the battle with Xu You."

The ghost master smiled and said, "Well, you should hurry up and adjust..."

The two had decided to do the trick, and the ghost master pretended to perform the illusion. Jiang Ziyan even specially called the maid to come in to serve tea. To cover up, he would also have to perform the whole set of exercises.

Qingming took the opportunity to leave the room. He was like a ghost, using the dead corners of buildings and plants to avoid everyone's sight, and returned to the General's Mansion without any danger, truthfully informing everything he heard tonight.

Xu You's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, but his eyes were extremely calm, but the strong murderous intent that was about to emerge seemed to be about to penetrate out of the window and cut through the endless pouring rain line.

Qingming retreated to the side without saying a word.

He Ru tilted his head and sat in the soft recliner, casually reached into his arms, rubbed it for a while, and said, "What are Qilang's plans to do?"

Xu You said in a deep voice: "What about your suggestions?"

"I suggest leading troops directly to surround the former general's mansion, killing the Ghost Master, Jiang Ziyan, and Shaodian, Lan Liuxiang and others, and eliminating future troubles forever."

Xu You shook his head and said, "Qi Huating said that the ghost master never showed his face publicly in Fengdu Mountain. Except for the dead God, no one could determine his identity. Jiang Ziyan could also completely deny that he had been involved with Liu Tian. At that time, the army was unknown and could not argue, and he arbitrarily dispatched troops to besiege the mansions of the third-rank officials of the court, which was like a rebellion. Even the emperor could not tolerate you and me..."

He Ru's suggestion was actually intentional. People who have no brains know that it is a bad idea to take action in the capital. It is easy to kill Jiang Ziyan, but it is too troublesome to finish it. He said, "Since Qilang is not ready to break with the An family, he can only pretend not to know and recruit Jiang Ziyan and Fengjie Army to accompany him according to the original plan. When the army enters Bashu, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. If Qilang wants to deal with him, he will do whatever he wants..."

Early the next morning, Jiang Ziyan entered the palace to face the saint and said that he took the medicine given by the emperor, and his meridians were unblocked and his injuries improved. He also expressed his loyalty and wished to quell the rebellion of the country with a seven-foot body regardless of honor and disgrace. The emperor was very moved and rewarded a lot of money and goods, and his grace was of great importance and no one could reach.

Afterwards, Jiang Ziyan went to the General's Mansion to report that five days later, Xu You led 30,000 Cuiyu Army, 30,000 Jingzhou Army, and 20,000 Fengjie Army, a total of 80,000 troops to attack Shu.

At the same time, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Mulan first showed his weakness in Julu, luring the vanguard army of the Mahayana Buddhism into an ambush circle, killing two thousand Bodhisattvas of Thousand Pillars, more than ten hundred Bodhisattvas of Hundred Pillars, and more than two thousand elite troops of the Mahayana Buddhism were destroyed, which greatly hit the arrogance of the Bodhisattva of Ten Thousand Pillars.

Then, before the heavy rain came, he personally led two thousand light cavalry to travel more than a hundred miles at night, interspersed through the narrow junction of the enemy's front and rear troops, and crossed the Zhang River first.

After dawn, the Zhang River surged, and the boats could not cross the ships, the Mahayana army was divided into two, the west bank of the river was the 20,000 vanguard army of Fayu, and the east bank of the river was the 30,000 main force led by the Pingmo Army, Jushi Yan.

Yuan Mulan walked around Fayan's rear, like a divine weapon descending from the sky, launching a raid. She led the way, her horse was like a flying horse, her spear was like a dragon, and there was almost no enemy in a single unit, and she easily penetrated the defense line of the Mahayana army.

Fayan was caught off guard and fled in a hurry. He retreated straight for more than 80 miles. He arrived in Guangzong County and barely gathered his soldiers and relied on the city to establish a line of defense.

However, Yuan Mulan turned around and galloped overnight to cross the Zhang River again. The west bank of the river was surrounded by the Faji army, which was attacking fiercely by other Wei troops. They fought until noon and wiped out 20,000 vanguard troops. Faji surrendered and was chopped off by Yuan Mulan.

When Fayan's head was sent to Guangzong County, Fayan was scared to death and abandoned the city without guarding it. He continued to retreat to Zhuzao City in Changle County, and asked for help from Mahayana Buddhism that had led to Boling County, Dingzhou in the north.

After receiving the report, the Fa was shocked and left a general to defend Anping to resist the enemy from the state. He led 60,000 people to the south at night to return to Wuyi County, where he started his business.

When Fa Gui learned that the main force of Fa Gui had returned, Fa Yan was ambitious and shouted that he would fight with Yuan Mulan in Zhuzao City and spread the Buddhist decree of Fa Gui. Anyone who captured Yuan Mulan alive would be granted the Han Army Division, and would be rewarded with a thousand taels of reward. Yuan Mulan could also be a slave and put into private rooms and play at will.

As soon as this order was released, both the Mahayana Buddhists in Wuyi County and Changle County were very excited. They grew up in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Who knew that Yuanmulan was a pearl embedded in the top of the Daxianbei Mountain, high and unattainable. If they could ask for such a girl, they would be willing to die. So everyone was blushing and screaming to fight the Wei army.

Seeing that the army was motivated, Fayan defended Nangong City with 3,000 people, Wuxu City, and 3,000 people guarded Xinhe City. Because Zhuzao City and Biyang City are mutually supportive, the situation is dangerous, and each stations 5,000 people.

After boiling Zaocheng and Biyangcheng, it is the county seat of Changle County Xindu.

Fayan led 20,000 people to station in Xindu.

Dividing troops has always been a taboo in military strategists, but the magic of using troops lies in one's heart. Yuan Mulan has few soldiers and only 20,000 cavalrymen. She is good at field battles and has strong mobility, but lacks effective means of siege.

What Fayan did was to use the city of Changle County to set up defenses at all levels, and in every inch of land would be fought for. All the people moved into the city, burned all the grain fields, plants and forests outside the city, and built a steel defense line to resist the northwards of the Wei cavalry, so as to delay the advancement of the Wei army, consume their living power, and attack the enemy's fighting will. When the energy is declining and the food and grass are not allowed to continue, a counterattack can be carried out, turning defeat into victory.

From a tactical perspective alone, Fayan's response was amazing, but from a strategic perspective, he was drinking poison to quench his thirst and digging his own grave.

The Mahayana Buddhism is known as the rebel army. It wants to overthrow the Yuan family. However, it imposes heavy taxes and kills excessively. It has long lost the people's hearts and forced so many people to be displaced and trapped in the city. The father, son, wife and daughter are separated and controlled. They act as laborers and have to be arrested for military service. They are on duty day and night, just like giving weapons to the tenants who hate themselves and then exposing their backs to the other party. The result can be imagined.

Yuan Mulan arrived outside the Nangong City and rode forward to call for the guard to surrender. After being rejected, she ordered archers to shoot into the city with a large number of letters of persuasion to surrender, lobbying the local gentry, powerful and rangers. As long as they surrender, they may cause riots in the city, ignite fire and burn food, secretly open the city gate, or capture the guard generals, not only will they be punished without any punishment, but they will also be able to get promoted and have a lot of rewards.

However, the deadline is only two days. If there is no action in the city, after the city is broken, all of these people, together with the Mahayana sects, will be punished by the clan!

Some people should be moved, but people who lack organization are like a mess of sand. Most of them look forward to it and do not have the courage to make a choice. They just think that even if the city is broken, Yuan Mulan may not be able to kill people, but if they are caught by Mahayana Buddhism, there is really only a dead end.

Two days later, Yuan Mulan resolutely ordered the excavation of Jiangshui. The surging river water washed away the city. After entering the city, the five thousand Mahayana troops were slaughtered. Then, more than 8,000 people from Nangong City were taken to the bank of Jiangshui. They raised their swords and almost blocked the river. The river water stained with blood flowed for several days.

After conquering Nangong, he came to Wuxu City again. Yuan Mulan used his old trick again. On the night when he persuaded the surrender to shoot, a riot occurred in the city. Flames soared into the sky. Several gentry joined forces to occupy the west of the city and opened the west gate. The Wei army occupied Wuxu without bloodshed.

This time, the gentry in Wuxu City was praised, and the sect leader of each family was awarded titles by the court, and those who were respected were elected as the magistrate of Wuxu County.

The tragic tragedy of Nangong and the joy of Wuxu made the people in Xinhe City see the importance of choice. The Xinhe guards felt hostility all over the city, and they dared not rest assured to sleep, and had to try poison when eating, as if there were murderous intent everywhere, and even their own soldiers could not trust. This huge and nowhere to vent their mental pressure finally soared to the peak on the eve of the arrival of the Wei army. He actually led his troops to abandon the city and fled. When he returned to Xindu, he was chopped off his head by the furious Fayan.

Still unable to escape death!

In just over twenty days, the Jianbi Qingye War Technique, which was highly anticipated by Fayan, was completely destroyed by Yuan Mulan. The Wei army not only seized the reserved food and grass that originally belonged to the Mahayana religion, but also received support and assistance from the people. It quickly cleared many passes, ferries and villages and towns around Biyang City.

Biyang City is in the southwest and Zhuzao City is in the northeast. The two cities are like two gate gods, and they firmly protect Xindu. To attack Xindu, they must first attack Biyang and Zhuzao.
