Chapter 113 Betrayal
The principle of lightning rod is still very useful, and it is also thanks to the large scale of the thunderstorm clouds, the top of Lifeng Mountain is far enough away from here, and the terrain near the county town is not high, otherwise Ning Ze would not dare to take risks. At that time, he was not attracted by the lightning rod and the lightning struck him directly, which would be miserable.
This is the power of science, and the so-called mantras mentioned above are all fake.
The whole city of Liyuan was shocked by the thunder and was scared to death.
The ancients who were too superstitious respected natural phenomena and thought it was God's warning.
Before, Master Zatuo called the wind and rain, and everyone felt that he was sure to win.
Who would have thought that the opponent's military advisor would also have magic, and directly summoned the Nine Heavens Thunder and slashed the substitute of Master Zhituo.
God helps the other party. What’s the use of Master Jatuo’s magic power? You can’t go against the will of heaven!
Dongmen Zatuo is actually a charlatan. He knows some knowledge of observing celestial phenomena, and has learned some tricks of false Taoists to deceive people. He has become a well-known wizard from far and wide and founded the Five Grain Sect with the ignorance of the people.
I thought I could use the astronomical phenomena to scare away the soldiers of Huajun, but I didn't expect Ning Ze to do this.
When lightning fell from the sky, it hit the grass man's substitute on the mountaintop in the distance. He thought it was God who was furious and warned him for deceiving the people by using his destiny. He collapsed on the spot, and a mouthful of bitter juice surged into his throat, rolling his eyes directly.
Wen Jie was also so scared that he was weak and wanted to ask Master Zhituo immediately.
When he turned around, he found that the disciples behind Jutao from the East Gate were holding him and shouting constantly, while Jutao was motionless.
Someone came up to check, and his face changed drastically: "Master Sato is dead!"
Everyone was afraid.
It turned out that Dongmen Zaituo was thinking too much, and in extreme panic, the ears kept flashing and thundering, and the sky and earth were shaking, and he was so scared that he died on the spot.
After confirming that the leader of the Wugu Sect died, they were afraid of being struck by lightning. They exclaimed and left the city wall and fled to the county.
In the chaos, the county soldiers on the city wall also panicked and fled.
Wen Jie was so scared that he turned around and wanted to escape. The pale civil and military officials beside him trembled and stopped him, saying to him: "County Master, this is God's will. The soldiers and horses of Hua County are invincible! You should open the door quickly to surrender to avoid the punishment from heaven!"
"Yes, yes!" Wen Jie had no idea and hurriedly said when he heard this, "Hurry! Come and follow me out of the city and please surrender."
So the gate of Liyuan County was opened, and the county magistrate Wen Jie personally led the civil and military officials and came out tremblingly and knelt down to surrender.
Ning Ze stepped forward to take the seal and entered the city with all the generals to take over the place.
After entering the city, he learned that the death of Sato, Dongmen, was heard that he had 3,000 believers all over the county town, all of whom were members of the Wugu Sect.
I believe that this kind of evil religion is likely to become the root of chaos.
So he sent the order, and the East Gate Sato was a demonic way of disaster, and was collected by heaven. The people should wake up in time when they were confused and ordered to disband the Five Grain Sect immediately.
The people in the city knew that the East Gate Jatuo was struck by thunder and died because of God's crime, so they all drew a clear line with the Five Grain Sect.
The disciples of Wugu Sect were also afraid of being implicated, and the leader was no longer there, so they all withdrew.
The heavy rain lasted for several days, and Ningze could only stay in Liyuan County for a while.
The troops in Ba County were temporarily suspended, and the troops in Ju County were retreating. After all, they could not fight under continuous heavy rains.
When the rain finally stopped, Ning Ze immediately cooperated with Liang Teng to lead his troops to the battle and march towards Bajun County City.
Jujun responded immediately and sent troops from the rear to attack.
In the city of Bajun, Yang Ran was frowning, as if he was much older.
Yang Ying sat next to him, with civil and military officials below, all of whom were dead.
In the battle between Ningze and Dongmen Zatuo in Liyuan County, a thunder struck the Eastmen Zatuo (actually, it was scared to death by the grass man's substitute. However, it was reported that it turned out that Ningze led to lightning and killed Dongmen Zatuo). This incident has spread all over the surrounding areas. People who went abroad to do business or walk spread the news everywhere.
It’s nothing to say that Huajun’s troops are strong, no matter how strong the enemy is, there is a way to defeat it.
But who can withstand the other party’s ability to attract thunder?
It is said that the soldiers and horses of Hua County are protected by God, and they follow the will of heaven. Wouldn’t they fight against the will of heaven?
How can ordinary people fight against the power of heaven and earth?
There was silence in the official office.
After a long time, Yang Ying sighed and said, "Encourt! Now Ningze's incident of thunder hitting Master Zatuo to death has spread throughout the city of Ba County. The people are in panic and the soldiers are not willing to fight! Ningze and Liang Teng lead their troops to arrive overnight. The troops and horses of Jujun behind are forming a siege. We need to make plans early!"
"Second uncle, do you say that Princess Yuanxi is just a woman, why does God favor her?" Yang Ran's face looked ugly.
"God's will is the most unpredictable!" Yang Ying replied, "Besides, God may not necessarily favor Princess Yuanxi."
"What does this mean?"
"Maybe it was Ning Ze who was favored!"
"What should we do?" Yang Ran lost his mind.
Yang Ying thought carefully and sighed and said, "If there was no such thing, our army would still have the hope of repelling the soldiers and horses of Hua County. Now the soldiers and civilians of Ba County know that they follow the will of heaven, so how could they help us defend the city? The way of heaven is unpredictable, and they are favored at this time, but may not be the case in the future! In my opinion, it is better to abandon Ba County before the soldiers and horses of Hua County arrive!"
Yang Ran was shocked when he heard this: "Second uncle, if we abandon Ba County, we will lose all our foundation!"
"Stay the green mountains here and you will not have to worry about burning firewood!" Yang Ying advised.
"Where can you go if you abandon Ba County?" Yang Ran thought about it carefully, and there was no way.
Yang Ying replied: "You can use Bozhou, pass Yuetai County, and go to Chizhou to join Lu Cong! Now Lu Cong and Zhou Hyun compete for hegemony, Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen do not recognize each other. In contrast, Lu Cong's situation is weak, and we will be highly valued in the past. As long as we get a place to settle down, we can rest and accumulate strength! When the world changes, we will follow the trend!"
"Okay!" Yang Ran never doubted the wisdom of her second uncle, and nodded immediately, "Just go to Chizhou to join Lu Cong!"
Immediately, I asked civil and military officials to mobilize their troops to loot gold, silver, treasures, equipment and rations in the city, and escape at any time.
After ordering, the civil and military officials prepared their own.
Cao Xing, the captain of Ba County, secretly contacted Xia Ping, Ran Pu and Bianqu, who were also captains, and said to them: "Where Ning Ze is helping God, how can he be an enemy? If he goes against the heavens, he will suffer great trouble! It is better to take Yang Ranxian City and surrender and follow God's will!"
"How can we be the one who is betrayed?" Xia Ping asked worriedly.
"Prince Han is the lord of Ba County. Yang Ran killed the prefect and occupied the magpie's nest. We are in accordance with the will of heaven!" Ran Pu said, "You can also avenge Tai Shou Han!"
"Okay!" Bian Qu nodded in agreement, "We each led our troops and quickly entered the official office to capture Yang Ran and his minions!"
The four lieutenants had 8,000 soldiers, and no one expected that these people would suddenly rebel. Before they could react, the soldiers directly surrounded the official office.
Cao Xing led his troops into it. Yang Ran didn't know what happened yet. He was discussing with Yang Ying. When he saw him coming in, he looked up and asked, "Why did Captain Cao enter the official office without any communication?"
"Catch it!" Cao Xing did not answer, and with an order, soldiers behind him rushed in.
Seeing this, Yang Ying hurriedly drew his sword to protect Yang Ran and shouted: "Let me go quickly!"
Yang Ran also hurriedly drew his sword, rushed with Yang Ying, and shouted for help.
However, the guards outside had already been controlled by the fourth battalion's troops and had no way to rescue them.
Yang Ran and Yang Ying fought hard against the siege, but Cao Xing's subordinates were everywhere, and they were eventually captured at the end of their strength.
When he learned that the four captains rebelled, Yang Ran's confidant led the army to the source and was blocked.
During the fierce attack, Cao Xing escorted Yang Ran and Yang Ying came out and ordered the other party to abandon his weapons and surrender.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally took into account Yang Ran's safety and was not willing to fight. Yang Ran's confidant surrendered.
So Cao Xing, Xia Ping, Ran Pu, and Bianqu captured Yang Ran and his subordinates, and all imprisoned them. They ordered people to leave the city immediately, and quickly whipped them to the troops in Huajun to deliver the surrender.
Before they arrived at the destination, they suddenly received a surrender from Ba County. Everyone was surprised, including Ning Ze himself.
Liang Teng asked Ning Ze in confusion: "Military advisor, is it another fraudulent surrender?"
"I don't know!" Ning Ze shook his head, "Whether it's a real or a fake surrender, there are tricks to accept."
So the troops of Huajun accelerated and arrived in Bajun soon.
When I arrived near the city gate, I saw that the city gate of Bajun was wide open.
The captains Cao Xing, Ran Pu, Xia Ping, and Bianqu led the troops of various battalions, escorting Yang Ran, Yang Ying and other subordinates who were tied up.
When he arrived in front of Ning Ze, the four lieutenants turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Military Ning, Prefect Liang! Yang Ran learned about the battle in Liyuan and wanted to lead his troops to abandon the city and flee to Chizhou. Our subordinates of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to respect Yang Ran. Now we captured Yang Ran and his subordinates and surrendered to the Ning Military Advisor! Our two counties of Bahua are alliances, and the military advisors came here to avenge the revenge of Prefect Han, which is exactly what we like! The soldiers and generals of Ba County, and even the people in the city, were all looking forward to welcome the two to enter the city to preside over the overall situation!"
"It's really Yang Ran!" Liang Teng said happily when he saw Yang Ran and others tied up by five flowers, "I am very pleased that the generals understand the righteousness, and I am very pleased! Military advisor, we have been chasing us all the way and finally captured Yang Ran. What should we do?"
Ning Ze walked forward, glanced at Yang Ran and his subordinates, his eyes fell on Yang Ying, and went over and asked, "Sir, are you willing to surrender to our army and serve Princess Yuanxi? If Mr., the military advisor can save the life of Yang Envoy."
The reason why he persuaded Yang Ying to surrender was because he had 90 points in intelligence and 88 points in politics, and he was a very good civilian general. No wonder he could have turned Yang Ran into danger all the way before.
Yang Ying snorted coldly when he heard this, turning his head to ignore it.
Yang Ran also turned his head and said nothing. Both of his uncle and nephew were very tough.
However, many of their subordinates called for surrender.
"After all, Yang Ran is the position of governor, so it is best to take him back to Hua County and ask the princess to deal with it!" Liang Teng thought for a while and said softly.
Ning Ze shook his head: "These two are not ordinary people. If they stay, they will cause great trouble! Since they are unwilling to surrender, they will be killed directly!"
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Liang Teng advised, "I'm afraid of causing criticism from the Governor of Jinzhou if I don't say it. The princess will not like it. The military advisor overruled too much power, which is not a wise move to protect herself!"
Ning Ze knew he had good intentions, but he still said, "It's okay! The person who came, beheaded Yang Ran, Yang Ying, and those who were unwilling to surrender!"
