Behind me is the earth

Chapter 460 458. Long live the mountain

"It's actually true!"

Zhu Kan looked at the excited fourth child with a look of shock on his face.

No one knows the power of Daru Manzi better than him.

The front line suffered defeats again and again, and his troops retreated again and again. Half of the territory they had built over the years had been lost in this short period of time!

If it weren't for the people from Suring Mountain who came down to help, he would have been assassinated by those barbarians from the beginning, not to mention resisting the barbarian attack.

"Dad, do we want to form an alliance with Qi?"

Xiaosi looked at his father with bright eyes, and his words were quite exciting.

"An alliance?"

Zhu Kan asked rhetorically.

"Yes, our frontline troops are retreating steadily. Although there are many people in the world to help us, they are unorganized and undisciplined. Although their personal bravery is outstanding, they cannot be the confidence for us to compete with the barbarian army.

If we form an alliance with the Qi State, with the strength of the Qi State, we will definitely be able to defeat these barbarians! "

Xiao Si admonished him.

Zhu Kan stretched out his hand, washed his hands in the copper basin carried by the attendant, and walked out of the martial arts arena: "You also know how powerful Qi is, but what are we like?

How can we form an alliance with Qi? "

After hearing this, Xiaosi expressed his thoughts: "We have a common enemy, and although Qi's army is powerful, it does not have many regular soldiers. I heard that there are only 500,000.

How can they defend such a huge territory without us? "

"What happens after we form an alliance? How will we get along?"

Zhu Kan asked: "In an alliance, one is strong and the other is weak, and it is difficult to be equal. Beiwan also accepted Qi's help, and it was considered an alliance.

However, Beiwan surrendered to the State of Qi, and its army was organized into the Fourth Route Army of the State of Qi.

What about us? "

"But, are we waiting for the barbarians to encroach on our land step by step and kill our soldiers?"

Xiaosi clenched his fists tightly and frowned tightly.

This is the weakness of the Yanzhao army. No matter what strategy or means, everything that could be used was used, and everything that should be done was used, but they could not be defeated, which made the entire Yanzhao army feel powerless.

Following this battle, they all felt disappointed with Suring Mountain.

They are living gods in the eyes of ordinary people, but these living gods do not have the magical power to move mountains and reclaim seas. They can play a certain role in the confrontation between the two armies, but it is also limited.

Because those barbarians also have a lot of extraordinary power.

"The Six Ding Liujia Divine Weapons mentioned by the Heavenly Master..."

Next to him, a captain in light armor interjected.

"It's useless. I have seen that magic weapon. Although it is invulnerable, it is equivalent to the strength of a bone-training warrior. It can only be refined for a few hundred, and it does not have the wisdom of a human to display the strength on the battlefield. , I’m afraid it’s limited.”

Xiaosi said.

He asked Zhu Kan: "Beiwan is guarding the northern gate of Qi State, and yet he still wants to be a vassal. This certainly shows the tyranny of Qi State.

But, Dad, besides forming an alliance with Qi, what else can we do now? Besides Qi, who else could withstand the barbarian army? "

Zhu Kan stretched out his hand and twirled his index and middle fingers. The guard around him understood and quickly took out a pack of cigarettes produced in Qingcheng Town from his pocket, took one out and put it on Zhu Kan's hands respectfully, and then immediately took out a box of matches.

With a "chi" sound, the match head collided with the friction surface of the match box. The phosphide ignited the match head, and a golden flame burst out.

Zhu Kan inhaled lightly, the cigarette was lit, and dark red fireworks emitted. He blew out a smoke ring and glanced at the sky.

A flock of white doves are flying across the sky.

"Believe it or not, I, Zhu Kan, profess my vassalage to the King of Qi. The army will be organized and trained as the Qi State's Fifth Route Army, and I will ask for help from the State of Qi to fight against the Daru barbarians."

Zhu Kan said suddenly.

"ah?"

Xiaosi was surprised: "Dad, you don't want to be the emperor anymore?"

"Of course I do, but my father watched the sky last night and thought about it carefully. When he started to rebel, what he wanted was not to be an emperor, but to have enough to eat. For your mother, you and your eldest brother, the second son, Sister and third sister can have enough to eat.

Later, as his strength continued to expand, he came up with the idea of ​​proclaiming himself king and emperor.

Now, even if your father becomes a vassal, he will not lose his glory and wealth in the future.

Look at Zhao Fu, who has proclaimed himself emperor in Nanyang, isn't he also enjoying the wealth and wealth in Wuzhou?

This shows that King Qi is tolerant!

What's more, now in the vast land of Han, the people who are chasing the deer are very clear. With the strength of Qi State, do you think it is possible for dad to succeed? "

Zhu Kan looked at Xiao Si.

Xiaosi shook his head honestly.

"That's it, even the people in Suling Mountain have a different attitude towards me these days. Dad can see that.

They feel like they've made a mistake! "

Zhu Kan said a little unhappy.

The True Taoist Representative of Suling Mountain, when they came down the mountain to find him, they immediately said that Zhu Kan was a Qianlong and would be the great treasure in the future!

It was their words that brought him infinite reverie, aroused the emperor's dream in his heart, and gave birth to the idea of ​​becoming a real dragon, rebuilding the world, and "making Jingguo great again."

But now, when the people from Suring Mountain saw him, the look in their eyes made him very unhappy.

The person who said he could do it was Su Lingshan. At that time, he thought Su Lingshan could do it too.

Now the person who feels that he is not good is also Su Lingshan, and now he feels that Su Lingshan is not good either.

From the initial love at first sight, to now it can be said that we are tired of each other.

"General, a disciple of the old Heavenly Master, Zhou Zhi asks to see you."

The guard hurried over and saw Zhu Kan who had just come out of the martial arts arena. He clasped his fists and said.

"Zhou Zhi? That female disciple of Master Tian?"

Zhu Kan touched his nose and frowned.

"yes!"

the guard said.

"Let's go to the main hall."

After Zhu Kan finished speaking, he shouted again: "Let's go to the side hall."

He was dissatisfied with Su Lingshan sending a woman to ask for an audience.

"yes!"

The guard hurried away.

"father."

Seeing that Zhu Kan was going to meet the people from Suling Mountain, Xiao Si quickly said: "When I came back this time, I found out that tens of thousands of Daru people fled into the Shishan Mountains. They certainly did not dare to attack Yueyang County and Lin in Qi State. Huai County and Hanshui County are very likely to reach our Plateau County.

It must be guarded against. "

"Send the people from Wenshan Camp to Plateau County. Once they find any Daru people coming out of the mountains, they will never come back!"

Zhu Kan threw the finished cigarette to the ground and twisted it hard with his toes. When he talked about the Daru people, his eyes burst out with fierceness.

"yes!"

When Xiao Si heard this, he felt happy.

Wenshan Camp is also one of Zhu Kan's trump cards. Although there are not many people in it, it is one of the strongest troops under his command.

There are many strangers and warriors in the camp. The soldiers have mountain god runes tattooed on their bodies. They were tattooed by the Taoist priest of Suling Mountain. When fighting, the soldiers can use the power of the mountain god to gain infinite strength!

Especially when fighting in the mountains, there is a kind of help from being light and healthy, with great strength, high energy and abundant luck.

Xiao Si went down to make arrangements, while Zhu Kan walked towards the side hall.

The General's Mansion occupies a large area, but there are few flowers, plants, and rare stones and treasures. There are large bluestone pavements throughout, making everything look rough and simple.

When we arrived at the side hall, a woman was already waiting here.

She was wearing a white Taoist robe, with a jade flute stuck sideways in her plain white belt, and a veil and hat on her head. Through the thin white sand, her face was vaguely visible, but her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"General!"

Zhou Zhi stood in front of the window, looked at Zhu Kan who came into the courtyard, and gave him a Taoist slap on the head.

"Um."

Zhu Kan agreed and walked into the side hall.

The honeymoon period between him and Su Lingshan has passed, and now they hate each other. However, there are powerful enemies outside, so they have to give in and continue to work together "intimately" to fight against the enemy.

"I have long heard that the old Heavenly Master has a female disciple who looks like an immortal. When I saw her today, she turned out to be one of the immortals."

After Zhu Kan walked into the side hall, he sat down at the main seat with a golden sword, and then waved his hand up and down to signal Zhou Zhi to sit down.

"The general has given you the award. A monk has left the mortal world and devoted himself to the Tao. How can there be any difference between men and women?"

Zhou Zhi said neither humble nor overbearing.

One glance tells the whole story. She is a clever person, and she can naturally see the disdain for women in General Zhu in front of her.

Moreover, she was wearing a gauze scarf and a hat, and the other party could not see her appearance, but she spoke like this, which was obviously to express her dissatisfaction with not taking off her hat.

Zhou Zhi had no intention of taking off his hat. After sitting down, he said: "This time I am going north, and on the orders of my master, I am sending you a tip bag, which may alleviate the general's predicament."

She said and took out a black brocade bag.

The guard took the brocade bag and presented it to Zhu Kan.

After opening it, there was a piece of yellow talisman paper inside, with cinnabar talismans drawn on it. Although it was incomprehensible, it gave people a heavy feeling.

Zhu Kan frowned, looked at it again and again, raised his head and said, "Earth runes?"

After working with Su Lingshan for so long, he has also learned some Taoist knowledge from Sou.

"Yes, this is the rune for consecrating the earth god. After consecrating the earth god, you can set up a thick earth camp and refine the earth to run the talisman soldiers."

Zhou Zhi said.

"Just like the one who conferred the title of Mountain God?"

When Zhu Kan heard this, he became energetic.

This was a welfare gift for him. He regretted not inviting Zhou Zhi to the lobby, which seemed like he had lost etiquette.

He quickly shouted to people: "Come on, serve tea, serve good tea, and prepare a quiet meal."

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile, holding the front and then being respectful, which made people laugh.

"The god of the mountain is the condensed natural pure air; the god of the earth is the thick and heavy Kun Mother who was born from the beginning. This is the original god of heaven and earth, and it is not enshrined by my Taoist sect.

The so-called edict is nothing more than awakening the gods of heaven and earth so that they can hear our voices, put incense and pray for divine blessings.

This rune serves as a link. "

Zhou Zhi pinched the orchid finger and said softly.

Zhu Kan frowned.

He didn't understand.

"What is the effort required? How many talisman soldiers can be refined? What is the combat strength? How does it compare to Wenshan Camp?"

These are the things he cares about.

"All that is needed is to build a temple, burn incense, and offer sacrifices. It is similar to the mountain temple. The number of talisman soldiers that can be refined can reach eight hundred. The combat strength is stronger. The closer the connection with the land god is, the stronger the strength will be. The closer to the mountain temple, the stronger the strength will be." The stronger.

The Houtu Camp may be stronger than the Wenshan Camp. "

This time, Zhou Zhi no longer said anything mysterious and mysterious to Zhu Kan, but explained in plain language.

"Okay, just like the Wenshan camp, let the fairy take charge. If you need any cooperation, the fairy can just go find the military advisor."

Zhu Kan said directly.

He and Taiyi, represented by Su Lingshan, have a profound foundation for cooperation. This matter is beneficial to him, so he will naturally try his best.

When Zhou Zhi heard this, a smile appeared on her face behind the veil.

With this oral instruction, Su Lingshan's plan can go a step further.

However, when she thought of Zhu Kan's army being defeated by the Daru barbarians, the smile on her lips went away again, and there was a bit of sadness on her face.

After all the thinking and planning, if they are defeated by the Daru people, the Taoist temple will still be wiped out, and then all the efforts will be in vain.

"Alas~"

After walking out of the general's mansion, Zhou Zhi sighed softly.

Chao Ci Bai Di said among the colorful clouds, a thousand miles have come and returned in one day.

The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The cruise ship on the river traveled thousands of miles, passing through the three counties of Anlan, Huanhua, and Fuzhou. As evening approached, it returned to Qifeng City, Changguo County, and stopped in front of the King Qi Building in Qifeng City. The civil and military officials of the imperial court were already waiting here to pick them up.

"See Your Highness!"

When Ren Pingsheng got off the cruise ship, the officials saluted him.

"Let's all be flat."

Ren Pingsheng gently raised his hand, and every minister immediately felt a gentle force, as if the king himself reached out to support their arms and lifted them up.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the ministers thanked him again, they straightened up.

The great defeat of Daru's army made the pressure on Qi's ministers suddenly lighten.

The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, and Qi will usher in greater development.

"Let's go back to the palace first."

Ren didn't talk much with the ministers here in his life.

The ministers also knew the king's temperament, so the ceremony for the king to return to the capital after victory was relatively simple.

However, for the common people, they were particularly excited to see this scene.

There were guards around to stop them, but they did not drive them away and allowed the people to cheer outside the warning circle.

Before Ren Pingsheng got on the bus, he waved to the people, which immediately aroused cheers.

Seeing this, Ruan Tang felt excited and happy.

Her husband is loved by the people, and she is proud of him.

The motorcade headed towards the palace. These important officials of the imperial court got on the vehicle one by one, forming a long motorcade, attracting people to watch along the way.

Even in Qifeng City, the most virtuous place in the Qi Kingdom, they had never seen such a long motorcade roaring past the main road.

When the people along the way saw the black motorcade, they immediately cheered "Long live your Majesty".

This caused confusion among many outsiders.

When he inquired and learned that this was the car of the King of Qi, he became excited and cheered with the local people.

From outside the city to the palace, the cheers never stopped.

"After the great victory, the spirit of the people has reached a higher level."

Through the car window, Ren Pingsheng could see the faces of the people. The sense of identity and pride for the country was much stronger than when the Qi State was first established.
