Chapter 118 Li Le only arrives in Yuzhou
The earth shook and a huge crack appeared in both directions. At the foot of Xiaomang Mountain, within the territory of Dai Viet, everyone looked at the scene in front of them like fools. Before they could react, the houses collapsed, covering the people who had not yet escaped.
"Run! Run!" A sudden scream, the sound from the tearing throat pierced through everyone's ears, bringing those who were stunned in place back to their senses.
They staggered with trembling legs and ran hard, trying to escape from this nightmare-like place that was like hell on earth.
But the ground under their feet was no longer as thick as before, allowing people to step on it steadily. They felt like they were stepping on water, with no solid place to put their feet. The wind was howling in their ears, and they could not see anything. They could only vaguely sense that many people around them had panic on their faces, all familiar faces.
Before they could run far, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked, and many people fell down. Many others were hit by the collapsed rocks. Those who fell to the ground were trampled to the ground by numerous feet before they could get up, and they fell silent.
After a moment, the place was devastated and no one survived.
The twisted body was lying on the ground, blood flowing like a river.
Such a tragic situation happened in Da Yue and Daliang. Because Li Lezhi reminded Daliang, the county magistrate of Jian'an Xia acted quickly. All the villages near Xiaomang Mountain were relocated within ten days. No one was left behind, and all the people survived this catastrophe. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
The people of Jiangjia Village arrived at Jian'an City and stood at the foot of the city. They suddenly felt a slight vibration under their feet. They looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
At this time, someone looked down at the ground and saw the pebbles on the ground slowly jumping and rolling forward. People who saw this scene couldn't help swallowing.
There was fear in their raised eyes. They were not ignorant people. The scene, the trembling, and the words the village chief said before they left were all vivid in their minds.
"This... the earth dragon has really turned over," as these words were spoken in a voice that still contained a hint of disbelief, they finally woke everyone up.
They came back to their senses, looked at each other, and then slowly said: "It seems to have really happened..."
It was like thunder in their ears.
At this moment, some disbelief turned into joy of surviving a disaster. Many people covered their mouths, trying their best to suppress the sobs in their throats, with tears in their eyes.
Back then, they didn't believe that Xiaomang Mountain would turn around, and they even doubted the officials above them. Fortunately, fortunately they did not stay where they were, fortunately, fortunately they came to Jian'an City.
When they saw the Magistrate of Jian'an County, they all knelt down slowly and looked at each other with gratitude.
County Magistrate Xia was deeply moved when he saw this scene. Who could have thought that Xiaomang Mountain would really experience a dragon turning over as the Taoist said?
I couldn't help but feel lucky that he listened to that Taoist, otherwise...
Coming back to his senses, looking at the people kneeling before him and thanking him non-stop, County Magistrate Xia's throat tightened, but he finally said, "This is all thanks to Taoist Priest Li. It was Taoist Priest Li who passed by Zhangzhou and predicted this. If you want to thank someone, you should thank him."
The villagers looked up and heard the county magistrate say this. They silently repeated the three words "Master Li" in their hearts and kept them firmly in mind.
Because he didn't know whether the dragon of Xiaomang Mountain still had any power left, County Magistrate Xia arranged for the relocated people to live in sheds. He then asked the Taoist temple in Zhangzhou City whether there was any power left. After learning that there was none, he dared to let the people leave.
The people of Jiangjia Village also got up and returned to their hometown half a month later. When they returned, they saw the tragic scene on the other side of the river. They all covered their mouths with fear in their eyes. The earth dragon turning over was even more terrifying than they had imagined. If they had not believed what Taoist Li said, it is conceivable that among the people lying on the ground, there were also people from Jiangjia Village.
There's no way they'd still be standing here.
He even thought in his heart that he should enshrine Taoist Li to protect their safety. But before that, the people of Jiangjia Village still crossed the river and cremated his body as Magistrate Xia said to avoid the outbreak of epidemic.
…
Li Lezhi, who was already in Yuzhou, was unaware of all this. Someone carved a wooden statue of him and worshipped it every day to protect them from harm.
After he told Magistrate Xia about the dragon's reversal in Xiaomang Mountain that day, he rested for a night in Jian'an City. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered that if there were deaths, there might be an epidemic, so he told Magistrate Xia about it.
Afterwards, Xiaowu took him away from Zhangzhou and headed all the way to Yuzhou.
He did not dare to delay on the way, fearing that when he arrived in Yuzhou, the city would be broken. Fortunately, when he arrived in Yuzhou, although Yuzhou was defeated and all the soldiers were wounded, the situation in Yuzhou city was still okay.
There was no sign of depression. Instead, everyone was so angry that they wanted to rush over and give Zhao Guo a big slap in the face.
Such bloodiness and spirit are really rare.
This shows that Xiao Xuan is a great commander.
Li Le walked into Yuzhou City and met Xiao Xuan. When he walked in, he happened to see Xiao Xuan and some other generals, as well as people wearing Taoist robes, all of whom had gloomy expressions.
Xiao Xuan had already known from the report of the soldiers that Li Lezhi had come. When he looked up, he saw the calm face of Taoist Li. Although the battle was not going well, he was still like a dead tree coming back to life. He instantly showed joy on his face and went to greet him, "Taoist Li, you are here. Come and sit down."
After Li Lezhi sat down, Xiao Xuan introduced Li Lezhi's identity to everyone present, but after he finished speaking, a feeling of frustration suddenly arose in his heart.
Since Your Majesty has sent Taoist Priest Li here, it is obvious that it is because of the matter in Yuzhou that Your Majesty had to send Taoist Priest Li.
However, Xiao Xuan hid this feeling of frustration very well and did not let others see it.
After the generals present knew that it was the Taoist priest sent by His Majesty, they looked at Li Lezhi and then turned to look at the three Taoist priests in the room.
These rough guys said without hesitation: "Your Majesty even sent Taoist Priest Li. It shows that some people's abilities make Your Majesty afraid."
The three Taoists who were secretly criticized pretended not to hear what was said. They were indeed not as good as others in fortune-telling, and even worse than the Taoists from the capital.
The Taoist priests in Yuzhou are all good at martial arts, much more powerful than the Taoist priests in other places.
Naturally, not much research has been done on fortune-telling.
One of the Taoists, named Su, sneered and said, "If you want to spar with me, I'm here to accompany you." His eyes looked at the general who had just spoken.
Li Le just looked over and saw that he was not the one being talked about. He felt relieved for a moment. He had not forgotten that before coming here, Gongsun Miaoran specifically mentioned the Taoist priests in Yuzhou. But he did not come here to listen to them quarreling with each other.
Li Le just looked at Xiao Xuan and asked, "What's the situation?"
He spoke, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two sides. People from both sides turned their heads to look in his direction, which made Li Le look over in confusion.
When those people met his indifferent eyes, their scalps tightened, as if they had seen something that they could not look directly at. What frightened them even more was the aura he exuded, which was exactly the same as that of the general.
Although the man looked thin, his ethereal and ethereal appearance made people feel as if they had seen a fairy from heaven, which made them dare not act rashly in front of him.
Who is this Taoist Priest Li?
Could it be that he is an old monster that is hiding. He looks young but has actually lived for many years. He is the pillar that stabilizes their country?
People on both sides couldn't help but think about it in their hearts.
After seeing this, Taoist Su and the others calculated silently in their hearts. This calculation made it even more difficult for them. Although they did not delve into the art of divination, they had never encountered a situation that made them so exhausted. It was like they had touched a heavy weight, and they wanted to pry the other party even a little bit, but it was a waste of effort and would hurt themselves instead.
This also led to the fact that Master Su and others would never dare to underestimate Li Lezhi.
They looked at each other and could see what was expressed in each other's eyes. This person must be a senior without a doubt, and they began to respect Li Lezhi.
Xiao Xuan saw this scene on the field and saw that both sides were stunned by Taoist Li's words. A smile flashed in his eyes. He forced his mouth not to curl up. He lowered his head and coughed, then said: "In the previous fights, the opponent knew our intentions and even attacked our weak points. I guess the opponent already knew about Yuzhou's border defense. After that, after I reorganized Yuzhou's border defense, as long as we don't leave the city, the opponent will have no way to deal with us."
Although they were able to hold on, the enemy kept fighting in turns and they could not withstand it. What made Xiao Xuan even more worried was that if they waited for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, even if they had reinforcements on their side, it would definitely not be a good thing if they really waited until that moment.
Rather than passively taking a beating, we should take the initiative and defeat them completely.
This is what Xiao Xuan has been wanting to do in recent days. He did not attack rashly because of the other party's evil nature. Whatever he wanted to do, even the formation he set up, could be known by the other party, so he could come up with a formation to restrain him.
So Xiao Xuan did not dare to take any risks and could only stay in Yuzhou City.
For this purpose, he also invited a Taoist priest from Yuzhou. This had never happened before when their Xiao family led troops and fought. When the war was over, Xiao Xuan could imagine the dark look on his father's face.
Xiao Xuan asked others to leave first, and after they left, he told Li Lezhi everything that had happened in recent days. Xiao Xuan trusted Li Lezhi more than the Taoist priests in Yuzhou. Moreover, what happened in Yuzhou made him suspect that there was a traitor in Yuzhou city, colluding with Zhao State.
Otherwise, how could Zhaoguo know about Yuzhou's defense? But I haven't heard that the other side has any powerful priests coming.
After Li Lezhi learned about it, he was also surprised and puzzled. It seemed that the other side had predicted what happened in Daliang, and acted extremely quickly. Could it be that there were also masters on the other side? This made Li Lezhi serious. After all, this was his first time to participate in such a battle, a battle that combined divination and cold weapons.
Fortunately, both sides are mainly composed of infantry, so there is no need to worry about the other side being able to circumvent them.
As for the fact that Xiao Xuan's formation was known to the other party, Li Le only calculated to see if there was an insider who revealed it. This calculation did not reveal the existence of an insider.
In other words, the other party used divination to calculate Xiao Xuan's movements and then responded calmly.
Li Le just frowned. This situation was not good for Xiao Xuan. The battlefield changed rapidly. Sometimes it depended on who could predict and know the opponent's movements first.
For this purpose, Li Le only calculated one divination, which was about the movements of Dazhao. After learning that they would have cavalry on the left and right sides and infantry in the middle, Li Le only told the result to Xiao Xuan.
After hearing this, Xiao Xuan's face darkened.
