Mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, gods from all directions, and disciples of the Immortal Alliance all sacrificed jade vessels, prayed to scriptures, and showed rituals.

This is an ancient ritual that has been passed down for a long time.

The piece of ancient jade that Lu Zhengyi was playing with was a green gui that warded off evil spirits and had the effect of washing away the dust in the Taoist heart.

At this time, Zheng Yin came to the lobby, sat at the front, and nodded towards him.

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to stop everyone.

"Fellow Taoists, listen to what I have to say. People in cultivation have a high self-esteem and disobey the laws and disturb all sentient beings. Fortunately, we have suppressed them with force and brought peace to the world. We also made a three-part agreement with the court that monks are not allowed to disturb the people, so that the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Today, the devil is rampant, sending witches to seduce the monarch, instigate and fund the rebels, and harm the people. We have gone through many hardships and endured hardships to keep the devil out;

Now, the trend has been achieved!

It’s time for us to clean up the evil ways outside the city!!”

Upon hearing this, the monks from all the sects agreed in unison, agreed on the next strategy, and then went out to gather their disciples to arrange a counterattack.

…

Jiangxia City, the temporary governor's office.

A group of people gathered here, also discussing the next course of the war.

The civil servant sitting at the top is named Wu Lun. Wu is a compound surname and is extremely rare.

Fifth Lun, whose beard and hair were all white, was old but still energetic. He was the governor sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion. At this time, he was holding a blood-stained letter in his hand, and on the table beside him was a booklet sent by the imperial court.

"Everyone, this is Geng Gong's letter asking for help. The rebels are besieging the city. Geng Gong wrote to the court to ask for help." As he said this, Wu Lun reached out and touched the folding paper on the table: "The court wants us to discuss it ourselves and act according to the situation. This matter

Please tell me how to deal with it."

Everyone looked solemn, and no one was willing to speak first.

Wu Lun saw this and pointed to the first person on the left: "Tell me about it."

The man lowered his head, organizing his words, and then raised his head and said: "The rebels have been besieging Jinpu and Liuzhong cities for a year. When Geng Gong wrote to the court, it was already half a year ago. What is happening in Jinpu City now?

No one knows what the situation is, so it may be inappropriate to act rashly, and I hope the Governor will think twice."

Wu Lun showed no expression on his face, and did not reveal any useful information to everyone. He nodded, and did not say whether it was good or bad. He pointed at the other person and said, "Say."

The man was a little flustered, but he quickly adjusted and analyzed: "The two cities of Jinpu and Liuzhong are complementary to each other and form a horn. There are only two schools of troops stationed in the city, namely Geng Gong, the captain of Wuji School in Jinpu City,

Niu Zhi, the captain of Hengshui School, Guan Chong, the captain of Fubo School in Liuzhongcheng, and Manli, the captain of Baojun School. There are 150 soldiers in one school, and a total of 300 people in one city. After the rebels besieged the city, there were only two situations: the city was destroyed, or now

Still holding on...

But as long as any city is lost, the other city will be in danger, and now the situation is not optimistic."

At this time, another person in the hall saw the opportunity and agreed, saying: "We sent a request for help to the court half a year ago, and now we have received it half a year later. This shows that...

The imperial court has no unified opinion on whether to save these people, so they leave it to us and ask us to act according to the situation."

Seeing someone start to speak, others responded one after another.

"You're right, our current situation has just improved, so we don't dare to mess around!"

"What General Liu said is absolutely true. Although we have the upper hand in the frontline war, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly!"

The first person to speak saw that it was rare for everyone to agree on the same opinion, so he wanted to make a final conclusion and quickly skipped this agenda. He turned to Fifth Lun and said: "If you rush to reinforce and lose the support of the city, it will be easy to be defeated by the rebels."

They are exterminated in the wild, not to mention it is winter now, the weather is harsh, the journey is long, and logistics are difficult. It is not worthwhile to go to war to save these hundreds of people, and it may not be successful."

Wu Lun laughed, pointed to the distance and said: "It's not that far. I remember walking more than a hundred miles north to get there..."

Everyone was still about to argue, Wu Lun waved his hands and looked serious.

He silently opened the battle report in his hand, sighing in his heart, where are there still people alive?!

The winter before last, the rebel generals led 30,000 people to attack Jinpucheng. The garrison generals in the city were: Wuji Colonel Geng Gong and Hengshui Colonel Niu Zhi.

There are two schools of soldiers in the city, one school has 150 soldiers, and the city has a total of 300 soldiers.

At this time, the garrison in Liuzhong City received the news. After discussion between the two captains, although they also only had 300 soldiers, they still sent troops to rescue in order to show their determination.

At the same time, Geng Gong wrote to the court asking for help.

The three hundred soldiers of Liuzhong City set out in the cold wind even though they knew they would never return.

Unexpectedly, the rebels got the news and set up an ambush halfway.

Soon the three hundred soldiers in Liuzhong City encountered the rebels. Although they fought bravely to kill the enemy, they were outnumbered and all died heroically. After the victory, the rebels killed two captains and turned to attack Jinpucheng.

There are few soldiers in the city and the situation is critical.

Geng Gong asked his men to smear poison on the arrowheads and shout while shooting: "Anyone hit by a Taoist magic arrow will definitely get sores."

The wounds of the rebels who were hit by arrows quickly fester, and the morale of the army was shaken. Just as it rained heavily, Geng Gong sent his troops out of the city and stormed the enemy's formation, and the rebels were defeated.

Geng Gong understood that the rebels would come back, and that Jinpucheng was easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it was not suitable for long-term garrisoning, so he led his army to Shule Mountain, which is more than 40 miles north of Liuzhong City. It is adjacent to a deep stream and can be defended by danger.

.

In July last year, when the rebels came to attack, Geng Gong led a suicide squad to break into the enemy's lines and defeat them.

If defeated, retreat to the mountains.

The rebels camped at the foot of the mountain, and a brutal siege began.

In order to trap them, the rebels came up with a powerful trick, which was to intercept and divert the river flowing through Shule Mountain. The climate in the Liuzhong Jinpu Second City was arid and the terrain was high, so lack of water was a life-or-death issue.

The soldiers dug a well for nearly 40 meters, but still found no water. They were so thirsty that they even squeezed out the horse manure juice and drank it. Seeing this, Geng Gong straightened his clothes, worshiped the well, prayed to God, and went down to dig the well himself. Finally, he dug out the well.

The spring water gushed out, and the troops jumped for joy. Geng Gong asked everyone not to drink it yet, but to mix it with mud and make stones to defend the rebels from attacking the mountain. He also sprinkled water to show the rebels.

Seeing that they could not cut off the water source, the rebels had no choice but to retreat to a distant place, and decided to encircle the area for reinforcements, hoping to use up all their food.

In November, the reinforcements did not arrive.

Even though he was in a desperate situation, Geng Gong still persevered.

When they ran out of food, they had no choice but to boil the rawhide armor they wore in a pot until it was soft, then cut it into pieces and chewed it to satisfy their hunger. When the leather armor was finished, they dismantled the crossbow and took out the leather strips and

The sinews used to make bow strings are boiled to satisfy the hunger. Weapons are the second life of a warrior, but just to satisfy the hunger, these are not considered.

Geng Gong and his men worked together and determined to defend Mount Sole.
