Chapter 763 Young General vs. Rich Lady 66
Xuan Jiu Zhenren frowned, "This shouldn't be the case! How could this be a bad omen? The Northern Rong occupying the Central Plains is a great trend, and it is impossible for a small Pingyang City to stop it."
Tuolu was also anxious. "Did we make a mistake? We are strong and powerful, and the Huo family army only has 20,000 soldiers left. We can attack with our eyes closed. It's just a matter of time."
"Master, please tell me the divination. The Rong Kingdom will definitely win!"
Xuan Jiu put away the copper coins, waved his folding fan and regained his calm expression, "Only calculate one divination a day, there is no benefit in calculating more."
"Before I left the mountain, I divined the general situation of the world. The six kingdoms in the Central Plains are divided and the royal family of Xia is weak. There is no need to worry. The six kingdoms are on guard against each other. The people are living in misery. If a natural disaster occurs, it will be the time of destruction."
"It is a taboo to spy on the secrets of heaven. Five years ago, I used a tortoise shell to ask the heaven and earth, and it took a day and a night to complete the task. I lost ten years of my life. Divination with copper coins is just a minor skill. It cannot see too many causes and effects. Pingyang City is clearly doomed, but I don't know why it has shown signs of life again. Maybe there are experts helping. It is not appropriate to attack the city today. Let's retreat."
Tuolu still did not give up. "You clearly said before that you would attack Pingyang City in one go. Why can't you do it today?"
Xuan Jiu's eyes were gentle, as if he was looking at a unreasonable child.
"A month ago, I did send you a message asking you to take Pingyang City in one fell swoop. That was the best time. But you didn't listen and were afraid to act. You were intimidated by Huo Xiao's illusory aura and thought you could trap Huo Xiao to death. But instead, he kept hiding his strength. I don't know what opportunity you got, and you've become even harder to deal with."
Takulu lowered his head in shame, and everyone felt guilty and stopped talking.
They believed in Master Xuan Jiu because he could help them win battles. It was also because of Master Xuan Jiu's advice that they were able to surround and kill Huo Yuanyi during the last siege.
Huo Yuanyi died, and the Beirong army also suffered heavy casualties. They were worried that the nearby Guangling City would send troops to support them, but the Taoist concluded that it would not happen. The Taoist said that the internal strife in Wei was serious, and the Prime Minister would never help the Huo family army.
So they continued to attack the city and seriously injured Huo Xiao. Everything was as planned by the real person.
Xuan Jiu sighed and said, "At that time, the Great Khan was seriously ill and unconscious. You were worried about the Great Khan and were loyal to him, which was understandable. The world's general trend was unstoppable, and Rongguo would win in the end."
"Retreat for now. When the eldest prince arrives with the main force, I will make plans for you."
The generals were clearly going back to help the princes fight for the position of Khan. No one wanted to be left behind when power was transferred. But when it came to Master Xuan Jiu's words, it was full of loyalty, which made people feel comfortable.
Tuolu bowed to Xuan Jiu and said, "We all listen to the Immortal. The Immortal has great magical powers. Do you know what happened in Lulin Mountain? Ten thousand people died in such a short time. It's really weird."
Master Xuan Jiu thought of something, but felt it was impossible. When refining the elixir, the most that could happen was to blow up the alchemy furnace, but it was impossible to make such a big noise.
The most likely possibility was an earthquake. The earthquake collapsed the secret passage and ten thousand people died inside. Huo Xiao was also lucky to have encountered an earthquake that was rare in a century.
It seemed as if even God was helping him.
Xuan Jiu fanned faster to get rid of this ridiculous idea. He still believed in his divination five years ago that Rong State would win. Huo Xiao was just a meteor that passed by briefly. No matter how brilliant he was, he would still be dead!
Xuan Jiu said calmly: "It's just a small matter. When two countries are at war, the best strategy is to attack the city gate! Otherwise, it will show that Rong State is not powerful enough. If it can't even capture a city, how can it rule the Central Plains?"
"The earth is shaking and collapsing, which shows that King Wei is incompetent and unjust. God has sent down a warning to you. This is also a lesson for you. Don't take the wrong path. Defeat the Huo family army head-on and completely break the backbone of the Wei country. The right way is to attack the city gate in an upright manner!"
"As for the gods protecting Pingyang City, it is pure nonsense. The people in the city are just deceiving themselves. God is on the side of Rong State. If anyone spreads rumors and disrupts the morale of the army, General Tuolu knows how to deal with it."
With the immortal's words, the generals of Beirong felt relieved.
At dusk, the Beirong finally retreated!
Xu Sheng led a team of people to guard the city wall, keeping an eye on the movements of the Beirong people at all times. The rest of the people could finally rest.
The recruits cried and laughed, as if they wanted to vent all the accumulated panic and pressure at once.
No one laughed at them at this time. The female soldiers gathered together to eat cake to celebrate. The gods really favored women and specially made a five-layer cake tower for them, which was as tall as a person.
The cream was like clouds, the cake inside was fluffy and soft, and the fruit was sweet and delicious. It was the first time they had eaten such sweet pastries and they would never forget it in their lives.
The veterans ate meat and drank wine to celebrate their chance of saving their lives.
"Alas~ Lao Li is gone, I don't know how long we brothers can hold on."
"Stop talking so pessimistically! We want to live a long life, marry a beautiful wife, have a litter of babies, hold one in our left hand and hug one in our right hand. That's what life is all about!"
"Ice beer is really delicious, but the taste is a little bland. There's only one bottle per person, so it's not strong enough!"
"With the enemy at hand, you still want to drink to your heart's content! When we drive the Beirong people back to their hometown, I will not leave until we are drunk! You are just good at talking, you can't drink more than me!"
"The Beirong people won't be able to jump around for much longer. The gods are sending down punishment from heaven, and even the mountains can be blown up. We will definitely win!"
"Yes, yes, yes! If we can win, come on, I'll do it, you guys can do whatever you want."
"You bastard, you dare to steal my beer? Come here, I'll show you a few moves..."
There was a bonfire burning in the Beidaying Camp. Everyone was laughing and making noises. After eating and drinking their fill, they fell into a deep sleep, lying all over the ground.
The people spontaneously went to the temple of the goddess to worship. Although the statue of the goddess had not yet been carved, it did not hinder the people's enthusiasm.
They knelt in front of the Goddess Temple, thanking the gods for the food, thanking the gods for killing the Beirong people, and thanking the gods for saving Pingyang City.
The temple of the goddess was bustling with incense. The young general had ordered that no food should be offered as an offering, as the goddess was kind and would not compete with the people for food. However, the food was originally given by the goddess, and offering it to the goddess would not show sincerity. The people rummaged through their homes and took out the best things to offer to the goddess.
Ji Yunhuan was having dinner in a private room at Hanyuan Hotel, with the bronze mirror placed next to her.
A flash of white light passed by, and many odds and ends appeared on the table, including simple bamboo slips, incomplete ancient books, profound landscape paintings, jade pendants, silver bells, longevity locks, children's rattles, straw crickets, and exquisite porcelain bowls...
The merit value is rising rapidly and has already exceeded 200,000!
A line of large characters appeared above the bronze mirror.
