Two days later, the northern suburbs of Chenliu City.

A tower of ten feet high with nine floors of soil, rising from the ground and standing tall.

At nearly noon, nearly 40,000 Tao Army infantry and cavalry soldiers had all gone out of the camp and assembled around the high platform.

The battle flag is like a wave, and the sword is like a forest. Looking around from the platform, it is black and almost overwhelming.

Not only 40,000 soldiers, but also nearly 10,000 scholars and people in the city were invited to leave the city and come under the platform to participate in this grand oath and flag sacrifice ceremony.

"It's strange, didn't the Grand Sima hold an oath ceremony when he was in Xudu? Why did he hold another oath in Chenliu City halfway?" Ying Bu's eyes were full of confusion and muttered to Fan Kuai beside him.

"How can I know?" Fan Kuai scratched the back of his head, and his face was full of confusion. "We, the great sir, like to do unexpected and strange things the most. I have followed him since Haixi County. I have been with him for so many years, but I still can't figure out what he is thinking."

Ying Bu and Fan Kuai were puzzled, and the other generals were the same. The soldiers of tens of thousands of units were all puzzled.

"The day before yesterday he suddenly married Ernie in the army. This action was strange enough. Today, he suddenly had to hold another oath ceremony. Husband, husband, I thought I began to understand you. Now it seems that I still don't know you enough..."

Not only the generals, but also Lu Lingji, who slept on Tao Shang's body every day, was full of suspicion and confusion between her beautiful eyebrows.

"The Grand Sima is here--"

With loud singing, Tao Shang sat on his hips with a black war horse, holding a sword in his hand, and wearing a red war robe, slowly passed through the military formation and headed under the high platform under the attention of the crowd.

Turning over and dismounting, Tao Shang slowly headed towards the top of the platform under the protection of Jing Ke and other personal guards.

In the military formation of tens of thousands of yuan, the soldiers began to secretly discuss again.

"Have you heard that Yuan Shao met a Qilin while hunting outside Yecheng. Legend has it that Qilin appears, which is a great auspicious sign, and indicates that the saint comes to the world."

"Of course I heard that, I also heard that when Yuan Shao swore an oath, a phoenix appeared in the sky."

"This Yuan Shao is really amazing. With so many auspicious auspicious people, is he really the destiny of heaven, and will the saint be reincarnated?"

"No wonder Yuan Shao is so powerful. He has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and he is still reincarnated by a saint. How can we fight this time?"

"I heard that many big tribes in my hometown have refused to hand over the grain to the Grand Sima. They just waited for Yuan Shao's army to cross the river, and then responded and surrendered to Yuan Shao."

"There were also news from my family that people in the village heard that Yuan Shao was the reincarnation of a saint, and they were afraid of Yuan Shao. They even wrote me a letter to ask me to seize the time and run back to my hometown."

...

There was a lot of discussion in the military formation, and Yuan Shao's public opinion offensive had already taken effect, first affecting the people in the countryside, and then affecting the army.

An uneasy thought was spreading rapidly in the army. Before the war began, the soldiers had already developed deep awe of Yuan Shao.

All the generals were worried. While secretly pressing the gun, they asked the pottery merchant for instructions and found ways to stop this trend.

The pottery was calm and did not accept it at all. He only told the generals that he naturally had a way to deal with it.

However, after a few days, the pottery merchant did not take any measures, as if he didn't take them seriously.

Not only did they not take it seriously, their lord married the fifth wife in the army, which was so happy.

"Husband, the army is full of words, and the army is in turmoil, but you don't care about it. You are still in the mood to marry Ernie. What are you thinking?"

Lu Lingji'er listened to the comments behind him and looked at the pottery merchant on the platform. The more he thought about it, he became more angry. He couldn't help but thrust his horse into the formation, shouting loudly at the place where the comments came, "Who dares to spread rumors again? Military law kills me, don't you shut up!"

When she scolded her, the soldiers were shocked and shut up in a hurry. How dare they say a word? The Fourth Lady's fierce method was known to everyone in the army, so how could they not be afraid?

Lu Lingji glanced at the soldiers with his head down, snorted coldly, then he drove his horse out of the formation and returned to his position as the leader.

The soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other. Although they did not dare to argue again, their eyes were suspicious and uneasy, but they could not suppress them with just a scolding.

"Lord, lord, what are you thinking in your heart..." Seeing Lu Lingji scolding his subordinates, Chen Ping shook his head and sighed softly, looking up at the Tao Shang on the platform, with suspicion flashing in his eyes.

However, the pottery merchant was as calm as a mountain, ignoring the discussions under the high platform, ignoring the doubts of his wife and his generals, and calmly climbing to the altar.

Zhang Yi was fully responsible for the ceremonial ceremonies of this ceremony, killing sheep and serving wine, and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Finally, he read the oath to the high platform.

Half an hour passed after a ceremony.

This solemn oath ceremony did not increase the morale of the 40,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 people and the people in the audience.

On the contrary, everyone was thinking about the magical rumors about Yuan Shao, and they were all guessing whether Yuan Shao was destined to be the reincarnation of the saint.

The Taoist merchant stood on the nine-story high platform with his knife in his hand. His eagle eyes looked down at the black crowd below, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

Although he could not hear the soldiers' comments, he could feel and see the suspicion and disconfidence that appeared in those pairs of eyes.

"Whether it can be successful depends on whether it has any effect. System elves, please launch the 'time' for me." The Taoist merchant took a deep breath and gave the order with his spirit.

"Beep... the time of the strange phenomenon has been turned on, it will be activated in 5 seconds, and now the countdown will start, 5...4...3..."

The Taoist merchant looked up and looked up at the vast sky. He became excited, guessing what could be strange about this so-called strange phenomenon in the sky.

"………2…1…activate.” Countdown is over.

Boom-

A sudden thunder broke out in the dark clouds in the sky. The rumbling thunder sounded like it came from the end of the sky, empty and majestic, as if it was carrying the mouth of the sky.

All the soldiers and civilians under the platform were startled by this sudden, unstoppable thunder, raised their heads one after another, and looked towards the sky above their heads.

A few seconds later, everyone's faces changed color in shock, and an unprecedented surprise burst out from their eyes.

The cloud layer facing the high platform seemed to suddenly be stirred by an invisible giant hand from nine heavens and began to rotate rapidly.

The clouds were turning faster and faster, and the wind became stronger and stronger. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a huge vortex cavity, with a diameter of hundreds of feet wide.

The huge hole, like a huge mouth, can easily swallow a city in one bite.

In the hollow, thunder rumbling like a giant beast roaring outside the sky. The lightning that broke through the clouds was like the fangs of a giant beast, making people shivering.

Astronomy mutation!

Faced with this sudden change of celestial phenomena, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who were superstitious about ghosts and gods under the stage were all shocked and frightened, and were so scared that they knelt on the ground, shouting and screaming, as if they were sucked in by the hollow huge mouth in the sky.

Even Huo Qubing and Yingbu, who are extremely brave and fearless, are all discolored at this moment, and they are hard to suppress their fear.

Only the pottery merchant standing on the high platform stood still like a towering iron tower, looking up at the huge cloud vortex in the nine heavens.

The red battle robe was torn to pieces by the wind, and the black hair danced in the wind, and lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the young and confident face on the platform.

He smiled!

Not only did he not have any fear, he laughed wildly at the sky.

The two men accompanied by Jing Ke and Zhang Yi, one was a warrior who was not afraid of life and death and dared to assassinate the King of Qin, and the other was a brave lobbyist who dared to go to the enemy camp alone and stirred up the world with his perfect tongue.

Faced with such changes in the power of heaven, even the two of them were very frightened. They lowered their bodies and grabbed the pillar with their hands tightly.

What shocked them even more was that the lord Tao Shang, who was just around them, was completely afraid and laughed wildly to the sky.

It seemed as if he was communicating with the Japanese.

Jing Ke and Zhang Yi looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

At this moment, in their eyes, the pottery merchant was almost like a god. With their flesh and blood, they had the illusion that it was difficult to see clearly.

What really shocked them to the point of losing their minds is still behind.

Amid the lightning and thunder, there was a sudden loud crack at the top of the cloud vortex, as if the sky had collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, the thick clouds slowly cracked and gradually cracked into a strange huge pattern.

dragon!

That's the shape of a dragon.

"The cloud actually cracked the shape of the cloud. How is this possible!"

Everyone's mind was like thunder, and the same sound was roaring.

Just under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of shocked and confused, the purple sun shone through the cracked hole and shone the light and shadow of a purple dragon on the wilderness.
