Chapter 151: Failure and Burial in the Sands · 20

The news that Xiao Hao killed Lu Wende in Xiangyang spread to Lin'an, causing a great disturbance.

Although he was very famous and popular among the people, he was not well-received among the generals in the court.

Firstly, Zhao Yunlin's promotion to him before his death was too smooth, which aroused the jealousy of many people; secondly, disobeying military orders seemed to be a common thing for him, and anyone with a higher rank than him seemed to have rebelled against him in the end. Zhao Yunlin did not allow him to go to the war, and he left Lin'an Prefecture first, which was also a serious crime.

Many people in the court wanted to get rid of him, but Xiao Hao, who was given the highest command of the Song-Mongol front by the previous emperor, still held it firmly in his hands. Although he was very disobedient, without him, no one in the court dared to take over the mess in Xiangfan.

These people were very enthusiastic in writing letters, but when it came to who should take over his position, no one dared to speak.

Looking at the court, there was really no one more suitable than him to fight against the Mongolian army.

The Cangyun Army was famous all over the world and had never lost since its birth. When the country was in crisis, they had to rely on them.

At this time, they heard that the Cangyun Army had become independent.

The whole court was in an uproar. They didn't know whether to wipe them out in the name of fighting against bandits, or let them continue to control the border war spontaneously. Zhao Wei respected Jia Sidao in all his decisions, but Jia Sidao didn't have any good way to deal with this matter.

When checking the military accounts before, he forced the Song Dynasty's capable generals to be killed or rebelled. Now the Song Dynasty's military capabilities have greatly declined. At this time, the border is in a tight situation. If Xiao Hao is removed, there will be no one in the court to resist the Mongolian army, and he will have to go to the battlefield.

Jia Sidao has no knowledge of military tactics at all. He only knows how to negotiate peace and cede land. He is also greedy and afraid of death. He is absolutely unwilling to go to this battlefield.

With Xiao Hao around, he could continue to live a life of luxury and pleasure, with Xiao Hao worrying about the war at the border, rather than letting him cause trouble for himself. After a

few days of delay, Zhao Xi was indecisive, and finally someone in the palace couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhao Yun's queen Xie Daoqing was a woman who was calm and concerned about the overall situation. After Zhao Yun's death, she had been assisting the new king in his initial administration. She had no intention of governing the country, but she was very clear about the righteousness. When Zhao Yun was in power, she had repeatedly saved the situation and prevented some of Zhao Yun's wrong strategic decisions.

Upon hearing about this in the court, she stood up for Xiao Hao and announced to the world personally: facing the Mongolian army, all the soldiers who firmly defended their posts would be rewarded by the Shangshu Province; those who betrayed the country and fled would be investigated by the Yushi and reported, and the whole country would be called upon to rise

up and defend the king. Xiao Hao's Cangyun Army had become the leading force in the uprising.

There was no objection in the court. The battle in Xiangfan could not be concealed. Although Jia Sidao was reluctant, he had to reinforce Xiangfan and send them military equipment and supplies under pressure from public opinion.

Xiao Hao was discussing the matter of guarding the pass and the city with Shi Zhixuan and Guo Jing, and they were all very happy when they heard the news.

Although we don't know what the weather will be like now, the advantages of the terrain and the harmony of the people make the Song army stronger than ever.

When the country is in trouble, all the heroes come to help. Xiao Hao deeply feels that everything he has done before is not in vain, whether it is when Xiu Tai scolded the people of the world to wake up the darkness, or now he is defending the territory again and again with Cangyun.

In everyone's heart, there is still passion and loyalty.

With the help of the outside world, they have to work harder.

When discussing the deployment with Guo Jing, Xiao Hao and he both read Wu Mu's posthumous book to learn the art of war. Every time Guo Jing discusses with him, he always feels that their ideas coincide with each other, which is quite surprising. When he heard him talk about attack and defense, which was quite similar to the words in the book, he could not help but ask, "Where did you learn the art of war from?"

Xiao Hao had no intention of hiding anything from him, so he took out the silk cloth he had obtained when he was in the Ming Cult, handed it to Guo Jing and said, "I accidentally got this from a sword. It is called "Wu Mu's Testament". It is very useful in driving away the Mongolian troops."

Guo Jing was surprised. He took it and looked through it. The content was exactly the same as his own. He felt that they were destined to be together, so he told Xiao Hao that he also had Wu Mu's testament.

After reading it, he was about to return the silk to Xiao Hao, but Xiao Hao stopped him and said, "Please ask Guo Daxia to keep this for me. In fact, I don't know how much time I have left here. Wu Fen is my disciple, but I don't know how much I can teach him. Guo Daxia has studied Wu Mu's testament longer than I have and has a deeper understanding of it. I am busy with wars all day and can't take care of Wu Fen. I hope Guo Daxia can teach him the art of war on my behalf."

"This..." Guo Jing hesitated, looking worried. Xiao Hao's hair turned completely white overnight. Although they had not experienced the battle of Pingjing Pass, they could imagine the danger. He should have accepted Xiao Hao's entrustment without hesitation.

He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Guo Jing will definitely do his best."

The system went into hibernation, and Xiao Hao's body automatically entered a protective measure. He would not be injured or lose blood, and all injuries, no matter how big or small, would heal quickly. But correspondingly, his lifespan here would continue to decrease until his fuel ran out and he died.

The change in hair color is a warning. Xiao Hao could not feel his aging. He still had a rosy complexion, strong movements, and was as heroic as a young man, but this kind of survival came at the cost of burning his life.

When the day comes when he can no longer lift his sword and shield, it will be time to say goodbye to this world completely.

He sent Guo Jing away, and seeing Huang Yaoshi watching him from the top of the city wall, he paused and took the initiative to climb the city wall.

Feng Heng was too old to manage the affairs of Yiying Tower, and had long been taken back to Peach Blossom Island by Huang Yaoshi to recuperate. At their ages, they should have retired like Yinggu and Zhou Botong, and no longer be concerned with worldly affairs.

Now Huang Yaoshi repeatedly came out of the mountains to help, and Xiao Hao was quite moved.

When Huang Yaoshi saw him coming up, he stared at his white hair for a long time, turned his head, and looked at the vast mountains and passes below the city. Xiao Hao noticed that the jade sword he often wore was replaced by a long sword, which was the one he handed to him that day.

"The Tartars are equally matched with us in strength. This time we are evenly matched, so we can only win by surprise."

Xiao Hao nodded and briefly explained the Five Elements Formation that he and Shi Zhixuan had discussed to Huang Yaoshi. "Kublai Khan has agreed to fight me hard, so this time we must defeat them legitimately and let them see how powerful we are."

Huang Yaoshi's eyes lit up when he heard his arrangement of the Five Elements Formation, and then he pondered and said, "General, this Five Elements Formation is indeed extraordinary in that it is mutually reinforcing and restraining, and it can be used, but it can also be used here. "If you want to make more changes to the basics."

Xiao Hao was slightly startled, and humbly asked, "Please give me some advice, senior."

Huang Yaoshi stood with his hands behind his back, pointed to the city and said, "The theory of the five elements is already very mysterious. If you apply the Eight Diagrams to it, the formation will be activated, the five movements will be renewed, the yin and yang will go back and forth, and the generation and restraint will change. Although the Tartars have strong armor and sharp weapons, they are shallow in culture and wisdom, and they will definitely not be able to resist them."

Xiao Hao looked at the direction he pointed to, and the method of converting east, west, south and north began to work in the place he pointed to, and his mind suddenly opened up.

"In the past, the twenty-eight generals of Liyuntai corresponded to the celestial phenomena and assisted Emperor Guangwu of Han in his revival. This formation conforms to the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. With martial arts talents corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations, it is no problem to resist the enemy and defend the country!"

Huang Yaoshi saw that he was very smart and understood it at once. He smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the formation of the twenty-eight constellations."

Xiao Hao could not fail to realize that Huang Yaoshi came here this time to teach him this formation. Before he gave him such guidance, he must have spent a lot of effort to come up with such a formation. He thought

that his fate was over, but he was grateful to his teacher again. How could he explain the feeling?

Huang Yaoshi took out a yellow oil-paper umbrella from his bag and handed it to Xiao Hao, saying, "You left in a hurry last time, and Xiang'er didn't have time to return this umbrella to you."

Xiao Hao saw the umbrella of Nian Shien and couldn't help asking, "Senior, you are already a person who lives in seclusion, why do you come to this place of war to help so many times?"

Huang Yaoshi glanced at him, his eyes only stayed on him for a moment, and then cast into the distance, leaving only the sea of ​​stars in the sky. "It's okay to tell you." He paused and sighed, "You really look alike."

Xiao Hao took Nian Shien's hand and froze in mid-air.

Huang Yaoshi didn't look at him, so he didn't notice his movements. "This is probably fate. He is stubborn in nature, so stubborn that he always wants to take all the blame on himself, and he is not willing to open his heart to accept even his master's protection. When I first saw you in Huashan, you were like a lone goose that had left the flock, and I always felt that there was a shadow of him in you. When I heard about the Cangyun Army, I was worried that you might have an accident, so I rushed over to help you."

He seemed to have thought of something. He shook his head and smiled, "But after meeting you, I realized that I thought too much. The general is resolute and courageous, but he is more considerate than my youthful and wild mind. You are much more mature and stronger than him. My naive worries should have been blown away with the mountain breeze."

Xiao Hao's heart was filled with something, wanting to overflow and fill his entire chest. Even standing in this Xiaose mountain breeze, he felt warm all over.

Even if the master could no longer recognize him, he would still think about him and help him solve his problems.

He held the umbrella to express his gratitude to his master and knelt respectfully to perform the etiquette between master and disciple, "Thank you, master, for your help."

Huang Yaoshi was stunned, turned around and asked, "What did you call me?"

Xiao Hao did not get up, holding the oil-paper umbrella, "Every word I give you is to serve my master. Master taught me the Twenty-Eight Constellations Array, I hope you don't think I'm stupid."

He raised his head, looked into Huang Yaoshi's eyes, and said word by word, "Once a teacher, always a father. I will never forget your kindness."

"..." Huang Yaoshi smiled with relief, lifted him up, and said with emotion, "You are very good."

He touched Xiao Hao's pulse, and Xiao Hao did not dodge. When he stood up, he saw the sword hanging from his waist again and couldn't help asking, "You seem to have never asked me how I knew about... you two."

Huang Yaoshi concentrated on checking his pulse, frowning slightly. Hearing his doubt, he calmly asked, "Is it important?"

Is it important?

Xiao Hao thought about it.

It's not important.

The master is always the master, no matter if it's Qixiu or Cangyun.

When the fate of people is not over, there will always be a thousand miles of reunion, and the friendship will last forever.

Huang Yaoshi put down his wrist and warned him, "There is nothing wrong with your pulse, but it is a little weak, which is a sign of decline. If you want Cangyun to support the front line for a while longer, you should stop boosting the morale of the army in the future." He should have saved himself from exhausting himself, but given the current situation, Huang Yaoshi knew that he would never give up. He couldn't rest his brain, so he had to rest more physically.

How could Xiao Hao not listen to him? He replied seriously, "I will obey your orders, Master, and I won't neglect it!"

The bright moon shines on Guanshan.

It's great.
