At this moment, suddenly several soldiers who were originally defending the city in the distance began to cough.
Then more and more people began to experience various uncomfortable reactions.
"It should be that there is a top civil servant among the enemy who is using his celestial level talent!"
Zhang Jiao walked out of the shadows and whispered beside Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, I can take action to remove this negative influence, but I am afraid that my identity will be exposed."
"You don't need to take action."
"You have more important tasks."
"I have a way to deal with things here!" Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Soon the power of another piece of Pingtianxia poetry was spread.
This is Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness". It has many functions, one of which is that it can relieve people's fatigue and various negative states, making them full of energy and less likely to be injured.
To be honest, the Confucianism of Pingtianxia under the system of Confucianism, Taoism and Talents is similar to the innate magical powers of this world. They are both magical arts that can have a wide range of effects on people.
This is also the reason why Zhu Biao chose to carry a large number of Pingtianxia poems with him in this battle.
Zhu Biao prepared more than forty poems like these, which have various functions and have various functions. This is equivalent to the fact that he brought more than forty top civil servants with talented supernatural powers with the army.
Such specifications and configuration are enough for him to deal with various emergencies.
Just like Li Ru's hidden killing talent, which had been hidden for a long time and had just started to show up, was easily eliminated by him.
This is the foundation of a great unified empire.
Although he did not bring millions of people over to forcefully conquer this plane.
But it does not mean that the Ming Empire cannot provide him with support.
It can be said that standing behind him are the nearly 6 billion people of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what they need, the social system is no less efficient than a modern society and the state machine can provide it in a very short time.
He is ready to come out.
This allows him to remain invincible no matter what situation or opponent he faces.
"The situation is over!"
Li Ru's face turned extremely ugly when he felt that his hidden killing talent was instantly eliminated on the top of the city. In addition, their number one combatant, Lu Bu, was captured. Li Ru knew that this time they had lost the bet.
And he lost completely.
Next, it is very likely that the enemy will surround and kill them.
With only seven thousand rootless people like them, they were trapped in Sili with no way to survive.
"In the worst case, we can turn around and go back and capture Tongguan. We still have 400,000 people outside Tongguan. When the time comes, we should cooperate with the outside to defeat Tongguan. Once Tongguan is captured, I won't believe it if the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry enter Sili again."
We can’t capture Luoyang!”
A trace of anger flashed across Dong Zhuo's face.
“That’s all we can do now!”
Li Ru sighed deeply and said: "But if we can really capture Tongguan, we will no longer be able to join Sili. We can occupy Tongguan and then negotiate terms with the court. This is our chance of survival!"
"If we completely break up with the Han Dynasty, even though we have a huge momentum in the early stage, the final result will definitely be unfavorable to us. For example, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled in Jincheng County. As far as I know, their lives are not easy now.
.”
"Without a golden signboard like the Emperor of the Han in our hands, we have lost the opportunity to quickly replace the Han. We can only hold steady first and wait for the opportunity."
After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo finally calmed down completely.
He nodded silently.
I know what Li Ru said is right.
This was originally one of their worst plans.
Li Ru had already made it clear to him that at this time, it was of little significance to rebel like Bian Zhang and Han Sui, because what was waiting for them was the counterattack of the entire Han Dynasty. If they did this, not only would they lose their righteousness
, cannot even get the support of any aristocratic family, and even the military will be unstable internally.
After all, there were actually a large number of people in the border army who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Such people will not rebel with them.
And the most critical point is grain and grass. Most of the border army's grain and grass are supplied by the imperial court. Now that they are completely at odds with the imperial court, their grain and grass supply will soon be stretched.
Besides, the Yellow Turbans uprising has been going on for three or four years.
The local power of the Han Empire was actually very large.
These people may seem inconspicuous, but their power cannot be underestimated. It's just that they hid their strength before fearing to arouse the fear of the center.
If they really raise their troops to invade the Central Plains, I'm afraid there will be an endless stream of troops coming out to resist them immediately.
Although they have 400,000 elites, the Han dynasty is so huge that they will never be able to conquer the world just by relying on these 400,000 people.
They will only become Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, making wedding clothes for those who come after them.
For such a thing, Li Ru, who is familiar with history, naturally would not go back to do it.
"One more thing, my Bingzhou army has run out of food. I think your Liangzhou army is also running out of food!"
"After all, we marched for a day and a night, and now we are in urgent need of food and grass!" Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou next to him, said with a solemn face.
"This is easy, just grab it. Sili is full of wealthy scholar families, and we have seven thousand people. There is no problem in destroying one or two wealthy families." A cold light flashed in Li Ru's eyes.
"good!"
"Now that it's been decided, let's go!" Dong Zhuo shouted.
"Provincial Governor, Fengxian hasn't come back yet!" Seeing that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo had already reached an agreement, they were actually preparing to retreat quickly under the cover of night. Gao Shun, who had just returned from beside him, had a worried expression on his face.
"Fengxian is brave. He should be able to protect himself even if he is defeated. He must have been delayed by something now. We don't need to worry. I believe he will come back to me after he gets out of trouble."
Ding Yuan spoke calmly.
To be honest, he was actually a little happy about the fact that Lu Bu seemed to be captured.
Because Lu Bu was too powerful and powerful in the Bingzhou army, he increasingly felt that he could not suppress him.
But this man's personal strength was like a monster, and he was so strong that he deliberately created opportunities to let the Huns kill him.
As a result, he killed thousands of Huns troops by himself.
Not only did his wish not come true, but it also made him more powerful in the army than before. Regarding this, Ding Yuan actually had a thorn in his heart.
That is because Lu Bu is too high-minded and does not know how to win people's hearts in the army. Otherwise, it is not certain whether Bingzhou Langqi's surname is Ding!
Now that this guy has been caught or killed, the threat this person posed to him has completely disappeared.
Of course he was in a good mood.
Gao Shun wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Zhang Liao, who had been following silently beside him.
Gao Shun turned around and immediately saw Zhang Liao shaking his head gently at him.
In the darkness of night, Gao Shun seemed to see a haze rising in Zhang Liao's eyes.
For a moment, Gao Shun stopped talking.
Among the current Bingzhou Wolf Riders, if there is anyone he admires the most, it is actually not Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu is invincible, his brain... to be honest, is really not very clear. He often does some extremely outrageous things.
Whatever thoughts you have in your heart are revealed directly on your face without any cover-up.
It is also true that there are almost as many people who support him as those who hate him in the Bingzhou Army.
Maybe people like Lu Bu don't need such a thing as a brain, they can just act recklessly if anything happens.
In comparison, Zhang Liao, who has always been unknown in the army, is different.
He is more cautious and rational.
All the while, Gao Shun was even more convinced.
The most important thing is that Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have known each other since they were young, even earlier than Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.
It's just that Zhang Liao deliberately concealed their relationship a long time ago.
Among the current Bingzhou Army, he is a little more famous than Zhang Liao, but in fact few people know that Zhang Liao is a strong man with the talent of both armies.
Apart from Zhang Liao, he had never seen such a strong man.
And the most terrifying thing is that Zhang Liao only showed one legion-level talent from beginning to end, and he didn't even know what the other legion-level talent was.
Gao Shun admires such a forbearing guy.
This is also the reason why he believed in Zhang Liao.
If you listen to this guy, you may not get rich, but you will definitely survive.
"Everyone, why bother leaving in such a hurry."
Suddenly, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, who were about to leave, looked stern, because a voice sounded in their ears.
At the same time, a thick fog suddenly appeared all around. The fog made it difficult to see even one's fingers. Coupled with the darkness of the night, Dong Zhuo even had the illusion that he was the only one left in the world.
"Lord, this is a celestial level talent."
"And it's a very high-level celestial phenomenon." Li Ru whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear.
At the same time, a trace of horror flashed across his face, and he didn't even know when the other party performed such a large-scale and high-intensity celestial phenomenon.
A tall figure stepped out of the thick fog.
This is a tall giant with golden light all over his body. The giant has unique divine power that is constantly spreading to the surroundings. There is a person standing on the shoulders of this giant.
Wearing a Taoist robe and showing off his aura, the great sage teacher Zhang Jiao.
Behind this giant is an extremely elite cavalry with no less than ten thousand people, walking in neat steps.
Just by looking at the aura of these people, Li Ru knew that this was a powerful army that was not as powerful as Xiliang's cavalry.
"When did the imperial court have such elite cavalry?" Li Ru was a little confused.
But soon, when he really saw the giant and the person standing on the giant's shoulders, Li Ru's expression couldn't help but change again, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yellow Turban Warriors!"
"Are you Zhang Jiao?"
"Aren't you dead?"
"How could it appear here?"
"You submitted to the imperial court?" Li Ru was shocked at first, and then his eyes turned cold.
He knew that being caught up in such a high-intensity celestial level talent today, and being besieged by tens of thousands of elite cavalry, as well as powerful men like the great sage Zhang Jiao, he and the others were probably in a very bad situation.
But he never expected that it would be Zhang Jiao who arranged such a powerful celestial phenomenon.
Unfortunately, he had lamented the news of Zhang Jiao's death before.
They thought he was a heroic man who stood upright and stood upright for the sake of the people, but in the blink of an eye he became a lackey of the court.
"Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, Li Ru, I am sent here by my lord Zhu Yuanzhang."
Zhang Jiao did not deny his identity, but he did not confirm it either, but continued: "My lord Zhu Yuanzhang sent me to warn you, retreat five miles and set up camp. There is enough food and grass for ten thousand of you to eat for a month.
Be patient and don't act rashly!"
"In addition, the imperial court has found out that the incident of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army entering Sili was caused by the rebellious He Jin who falsely conveyed the imperial edict, and has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan. You just camp with peace of mind, and the imperial court will give you an explanation as soon as possible.
"
"Also, Li Ru, you need to come back to Beijing with me. My lord wants to see you."
"This...!" Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, who had just been prepared to fight to the death with the imperial court, instantly looked at each other.
Especially Ding Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
His original will to rebel was not very strong. He originally thought that being trapped in this level of celestial phenomena and surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry, he had basically no chance of survival. However, the situation suddenly took a U-turn and the court
They were not held accountable for their crime of being close to Sili.
This immediately stopped him from thinking about trying his best again.
Even Dong Zhuo is like this.
Although he has great ambitions, it is only hidden in his heart. If the defense of Luoyang City is vulnerable and he leads his troops to attack, he will naturally enjoy endless glory and wealth.
But reality is stronger than people. This trip to Luoyang gave him a blow. He deeply understood that the imperial court was not really strong on the outside and capable on the inside. There were still capable people in the court.
Otherwise, how could they capture Lu Bu, the best general in the world, in just a few breaths, and how could they suppress their 7,000-strong border army?
You must know that this requires more powerful force than defeating them.
He has been completely defeated by the court.
Now he has completely lost the courage to fight to the death. He only hopes that the court will allow him to command the Xiliang army in peace and be a loyal minister and good general of the Han Dynasty.
Li Ru saw the reactions of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, and couldn't help but lamented again in his heart.
He understood very well that this time the trend was really over.
He carefully planned for twenty years, turning Dong Zhuo step by step from a subordinate general to a general who now commands 200,000 Xiliang troops. The plan to approach Luoyang that he spent three years planning has completely failed here.
Judging from Zhang Jiao's words just now, the key figure who ruined his plan this time should be Zhu Yuanzhang.
The spies he sent to Luoyang did not mention this name to him.
He really couldn't understand how such an unknown figure could silently destroy the plan he had spent more than twenty years carefully laying out.
He wanted to meet this person.
"My lord, Ru has lived up to his trust, so I take my leave!" Li Ru bowed respectfully to Dong Zhuo, then turned around and strode into the thick fog.
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with a complicated expression. He had an intuition that when Li Ru left this time, he would really lose this good mentor and friend.
