Chapter 99 The Battle of Gaoping (1)

The man who stood with a sword was Jiang Qiubai who came from Bianjing. When he heard Zhao Kuangyin telling the story of meeting Chu Nanfeng, he guessed that Chu Nanfeng encountered a tricky person, so he recruited five divine thoughts worshipers from the imperial guards to come without stopping, but found that Chu Nanfeng was meditating and healing his wounds, so he surrounded the guards with the worshipers.

When Jiang Qiubai was calming and protecting his energy, he felt a sensation of energy coming from the left. When he reached two feet outside his body, it was like a hurricane. He felt a trembling heart, and he drew his sword to greet him. He used the Wuji sword technique "Liuyu Sanqian".

Zhiguang suddenly felt that the sword light was rising, and the sword energy came like rain. "Chichi" hit the fist harness with a sound. Although it did not break into the air wall, Zhiguang's body was stagnant. Seeing the sword flower rising, a whirlpool-like sword energy turned sharply, and it actually stripped his fist harness from the outside to the inside. He couldn't help but exclaim in secret, and had no choice but to stop and retreat.

"Wuji Kung Fu" has palms and swords. Chu Nanfeng has never practiced it because of his "Star Sword Technique". However, after Wu Wangbo and Luo Hanshui reached the level of the boudoir, he could also turn sword moves into palm styles, and he rarely brought weapons when he walked around the world.

However, Jiang Qiubai's realm has not reached great success, but he dared not be arrogant. He always keeps his sword away when walking outside. With one move, he forced Zhiguang to stagnate with his body, and at the same time, he changed his move to "Silks and Widths" to use the Qi that transformed Zhiguang.

Wuji sword technique and palm technique are similar to that of qi, and they are both exquisite to remove the enemy's power. Although Zhiguang was injured, his cultivation was still better than Jiang Qiubai, and his punch was still resisted by Jiang Qiubai in two moves in the flash.

Jiang Qiubai was surprised when he saw the person who was attacking him was a monk over 70 years old and said in a deep voice: "Should Mr. Chu." Then he bullied himself with a sword and attacked Zhiguang.

Zhiguang had already sensed from his sword energy that it was similar to Chu Nanfeng's palm energy. He guessed that this sword technique also had the magic of using force to fight. He was afraid of it, but he used defense as an attack.

After Jiang Qiubai's two moves of "flowing light through the gap, and revolving around the current", he saw that Zhiguang only counterattacked the moves, but did not fight back, but he also stopped the moves and retreated.

Wuji's swordsmanship is good at controlling others afterwards, and he can only exert greater power by leveraging the force. Jiang Qiubai also knew that his cultivation was not as good as the monk in front of him, but he showed his own shortcomings when he attacked, so he simply took the sword and waited for defense.

Zhiguang originally wanted to see through Jiang Qiubai's sword path and wait for an opportunity to defeat the enemy. Seeing that he stopped attacking, he knew that he was delaying time. He glanced at Chu Nanfeng not far away. Although his face was a little pale, he was calm. He was afraid that he would break the disaster and attack again with a turn of energy.

Although his aura was damaged, his fist power was not Jiang Qiubai who could directly fight against it. The power of his fist power after standing still was better than the domineering behavior of sneaking out the fist just now. The fist power whistled against the wind and whistled.

Jiang Qiubai dared not take it head-on, so he shouted lightly, using a move "stone-hitting silk" with one move. However, the sword energy retreated backwards, knowing that it is difficult to break into the fist, and he can only make the moves look like attacks and defends.

Zhiguang took advantage of the momentum and shot straight out of his left fist. The fist blocked Jiang Qiubai's right flash. His right hand followed the right foot stepping forward and hit Jiang Qiubai, but he was like a bow on his left and right, attacking him up.

Jiang Qiubai waved his right hand and slapped the sword body from top to bottom toward the fist qi that was hit by Zhiguang's right. He knew that the sword energy could not break the fist qi, but he pressed it with the sword body and bounced up with the skillful force. In a flash, his body swirled in the air, and used a move to "embrace the fog and flip the wave" to tangently towards Zhiguang's right hook. When the sword energy touched the fist qi, the sword body bent, and the body bounced up with the power of the fist qi that was rushing up, and floated to the right to the big tree on the road. In the air, he kicked the tree body with his right foot, and his body and sword were united and stabbed Zhiguang from top to bottom.

Wuji's martial arts practice the wonderful changes of qi and yin and yang. When it comes to hardness, it is hard, and when it meets softness, it is soft. Jiang Qiubai has already realized its truth and knows that Zhiguang's fist is not a sword energy that can be broken. When a move "embrace the fog and flip the waves" takes advantage of the momentum, it is a move that "all flows return to one" and goes down. The sword energy and the trembling sound of the sword tip are like a shuttle, Zhiguang steps on his left foot, and his bow body and his fists are slanted out. When the sword tip pierces into the gap between the two fists, he roars "breaks", and the two fists are together, and the trembling force bursts out.

"Dang", the tip of the sword broke in response to the sound, and a soul-catching aura was transmitted back along the sword body. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Qiubai retreated and fell down, and stepped back three steps in a row. At this time, the two worshippers behind him bullied themselves, Jiang Qiubai shouted in a deep voice: "His fist is trembling, so he cannot fight..."

With his eyes, he finally saw that the trembling power of Zhiguang's boxing technique contained the power of the trembling power. Zhiguang was only two feet away from Chu Nanfeng at this time. How could he miss the opportunity? Seeing two worshippers with great spiritual consciousness and cultivating each other with one sword and one sword, he snorted coldly, and the energy was too long, and the hundred kalpas "wind rises and clouds rolls" were used.

In the dull voice, the two worshippers took off their hands and collided with each other, one covering their right shoulder and the other covering their left shoulder. Their face was pale, but they were injured internally. But they didn't know that if Zhiguang had not left his might to seize Jiang Qiubai, the two worshippers would have been shocked.

Jiang Qiubai's long sword had been lost, so he could only attack the enemy with his palms. Seeing Zhiguang shocked and injured the two of them, he punched him with a thunder. He felt a trembling heart, and his palms rolled, causing the aura to press down, using "stones sink into the sea", trying to remove Zhiguang's fist.

But he was still a little different from the injured Zhiguang Qi. Although he had removed 50% of his strength, he was still hit by Yu Jin and took a few steps back. Fortunately, he was wary and retreated in time, avoiding the catastrophe power in the aftermath, but he also reached one foot in front of Chu Nanfeng.

The remaining three worshipers knew that they had met a tough person, and knew that they could not avoid it. They looked at each other, jumped up, stood in front, and two left and right surrounded the wisdom light.

Zhiguang was determined to win, and without thinking, he used a move to "the sun breaks through the fog", and he saw his figure suddenly left and right, and the sound of "bang, chuck" sounded. In an instant, the three of them fell back to the ground like a horse.

Jiang Qiubai was shocked and shouted loudly, using a move "Spring Breeze and Rain". When Zhiguang broke into his palm, he changed his move and "repaying his peaches and rewarded him". Zhiguang suffered losses twice in a row, and he was already angry. Seeing Jiang Qiubai use it, his eyes were shining and shouting "Okay". His energy was strong, and his fist style remained unchanged. He drove straight in and hit Jiang Qiubai's chest.

When Jiang Qiubai's palm energy disappeared from the first wave of Zhiguang's fist energy, he was unable to use the opponent's power to counterattack the other person. As soon as the energy entered the Zhiguang fist energy, it was transformed without a trace, and Zhiguang's fist energy was accompanied by a dizzy disaster energy.

He knew it was difficult to resist, but at this time he asked him to retreat and ignore Chu Nanfeng, but he could not. He suddenly shouted, and then used a "repaying his favor" to block it.

When Qianjun was fired, Jiang Qiubai felt a flash of white light, and a sword energy on his head attacked slanted, breaking through the Zhiguang body protection true energy piercing his left shoulder. Even though Zhiguang was in the realm of the golden body, the "Divine Realm" soul was trapped, but he could not deal with the sudden sword attack. In a hurry, he had to withdraw his move and retreat.

At this time, Jiang Qiubai's "repaying petals" aura suddenly resurrected, and followed. Zhiguang screamed strangely and retreated quickly, but he felt his chest was stuffy. He was finally injured by Jiang Qiubai's counterattack power by taking advantage of the situation. The attacking Qingyu Sword was suspended in the air because he retreated three feet away and could not attack.

Zhiguang was injured three times, which was given by the "repaying the favor" move. Fortunately, Jiang Qiubai's cultivation level was just a small achievement in his pills, but he would rather have to hurt him into the catastrophe before the catastrophe power was recovered.

Looking at Jiang Qiubai, who was in a state of caution, he glanced at Chu Nanfeng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a calm expression on his face, but saw the Qingyu sword hanging in the air, with a sharp sword light. Zhiguang, who was still in a fight, hesitated for several breaths, but he did not dare to step forward, snorted coldly, and jumped back.

Jiang Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Chu Nanfeng. When he saw the Qingyu sword flashing down and inserted into the ground in front of Chu Nanfeng, trembling with a "buzzing" sound. Chu Nanfeng was still silent. Although Jiang Qiubai did not know the wonderful cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm, he saw that his face was slightly paler than before, and he also felt relieved. He turned to look at the military worshippers who were falling into pieces and sighed, "How are you injured?"

All the worshipers were only affected by the recoil of Zhiguang's fist. In addition to the poor blood and blood, they were not seriously injured. After hearing this, they looked at each other and stood up. They all looked ashamed and bowed and said, "We are incompetent, I hope you forgive me..."

Jiang Qiubai knew that if Zhiguang had not kept his strength to attack him, he might have fallen asleep in the disaster and sighed, "Then you guys should meditate and adjust your breathing."

Several worshippers were ordered to sit cross-legged and meditate, so they surrounded Chu Nanfeng in the middle to protect him.

At this time, the moon was slanted in the air, and the silver moonlight shone through the trees onto the post road. I don’t know how long it took, a bobcat jumped down from the tree on the right, but fell silently. He stopped five feet away and looked at the motionless people. He screamed with a slightly alert "meow". Without seeing everyone's reaction, he held the cat's claws, with his front and back limbs intertwined, and walked closer.

When he slowly walked two feet away from everyone, the cat eye turned to the blue fish sword inserted on the ground, stared at the shiny white sword body, and stopped in vain. He stared at the glowing cat eye coldly for a while, and suddenly turned around and flashed towards the side of the road, stopped by a tree, turned around and peeked at everyone, and screamed "meow" and then rushed into the field, without a trace in an instant.

"What a great kitten, I can actually know that I will stop collecting my interest rate, haha." At this time, I heard Chu Nanfeng chuckling, "Fortunately, my junior brother arrived... Chu thanks you all."

It turned out that after Zhiguang and his two left a cup of tea, Chu Nanfeng used his natal fetal pill to protect his mind, restrained his own qi and thoughts of eroding the fist that caused people to get sleepy, and kept his soul awake. It happened that Jiang Qiubai and others had arrived at that time.

With great concentration in Chu Nanfeng's mind, he used his natal fetal elixir to activate the "Taichu Heart Sutra" to repair the meridians that were sprained due to forced ventilation.

But after all, it hurts the internal organs, and the energy is greatly damaged. It is extremely slow to use the "Tian Lei Yin" technique to gather qi and form sound. Fortunately, the process of silently reciting scriptures also has the effect of resisting the soul tribulation, and the mind gradually becomes clear. When he saw Zhiguang knocking down the three worshipers, Chu Nanfeng knew something was wrong and gave up the qi, which led to the fetal elixir consciousness, and waited for an opportunity to retreat Zhiguang.

When Zhiguang was frightened, Jiang Qiubai's "repaying his pets" hurt his energy. Although he had the ability to fight against Jiang Qiubai again, he finally had a stick of incense in the middle disaster. Chu Nanfeng, who had not been unconscious, was afraid of the fetal pill consciousness, and he held a sword to fight, so he did not dare to get close to three meters, so he had to leave in disappointment.

After Zhiguang left, Chu Nanfeng concentrated his mind and practiced the qi "Tian Lei Yin". It took nearly two hours. After the energy was exhausted, he could not break through the barrier. However, he suppressed the attack of the catastrophe force. His spiritual consciousness was no longer sleepy. He knew that he had to stay in seclusion for a period of time, so he gave up practicing the qi gathering sound.

When Jiang Qiubai saw Chu Nanfeng wake up, he was overjoyed. Hearing this, he turned around and stood up, "Senior brother is fine?"

Chu Nanfeng stood up and smiled faintly, "Fortunately, it's not a big deal. It's been damaged by some real energy. It's enough to be quiet for a few days." He was afraid that Jiang Qiubai would not temporarily suppress the soul tribulation.

Jiang Qiubai looked at his slightly tired face and was skeptical, but thought that the environment was not a place for long talk, so he nodded, "That's good, go back to Bianjing first."

When Kaifeng arrived, it was already three ominous moments. The guards knew Jiang Qiubai and others and immediately let him go to the city. Jiang Qiubai sent five military officials to the army to invite Chu Nanfeng to his house, but Chu Nanfeng stopped him, "I must go into seclusion and follow me to Tongbao Pavilion..."

Although Jiang Qiubai also suspected that Chu Nanfeng was not healed, he did not expect it to be so serious that he went into seclusion. He was shocked when he heard this and nodded quickly and led Chu Nanfeng into the Kaifeng branch of Tongbao Pavilion. When the night saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly informed him that he was sleeping manager.

The manager in charge of Kaifeng was named Pei, but he knew that Chu and Jiang came late at night. When he heard the news, he walked and put on his clothes and rushed to the hall to see him. Chu Nanfeng looked at the untied manager Pei, and said apologetically: "I want to stay in the secret room of the Gui Pavilion for half a month. Now I am still worried about asking the manager to do two things..."

"Mr. Chu, please speak, I will do it immediately." Manager Pei, who is nearly 60 years old, said respectfully.

"One, I sent him to Taibai Academy and Mr. Wu, and asked him to stay at Mowang Island for a while. Second, I sent him to the Lord of Pavilion Luo, and told him about my retreat and that he would come to meet me. But before coming, I asked him to go to Mowang Island and tell my inner son... and said that Chu followed Junior Brother Jiang and was scheduled to return within a month."

But I was afraid that Ma Xilan was worried, so she could only say that she would go to war with Jiang Qiubai to make her feel that things were justified. Manager Pei immediately ordered Jianwei to send a message immediately, and then led Chu Nanfeng and Jiang Qiubai to the courtyard of the city.

The two elders of Tongbao Pavilion live in this villa, with silver treasury and a group of good men to take care of. Manager Pei led Chu and Jiang to the secret room and left.

Chu Nanfeng looked at Jiang Qiubai with a sad face and smiled, "I heard that the Northern Han soldiers were invading, so I couldn't rest assured. I thought I was coming to find my junior brother and you asked, but unexpectedly I met that smelly monk. Tell me what you think about Jungui's deployment this time."

Jiang Qiubai looked at Chu Nanfeng's gradually tired expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jun Gui decided to lead the army in person, and hesitate in two days..."

"Oh?" Chu Nanfeng was very surprised.

"The Secretary of the Central Committee once asked me for a while and offered a complete solution, but it was incompatible with Jungui... Haha, I want to come and fall in love with Xiaowei, the emperor who was a student in the academy. Senior brother, please rest assured." Jiang Qiubai was worried that Chu Nanfeng was injured and did not explain the incident in detail.

After Chu Nanfeng knew about the Buddha's calamity, he guessed that his wisdom had not been found to protect the Taoist, and he did not know how to do it now, and he did not dare to be unfavorable to Guo Rong. He only felt relieved after listening to Wen Yi's words and the words of the unpredictable heaven, and wanted to inquire about the situation of the good guards of the Great Inner Guard, and wanted to let Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing come out to help.

But seeing Jiang Qiubai's confident expression, he was sure in his heart: "Even if this is the case, you should not take it lightly. You should follow the army to protect Jungui's side... Don't be careless in your actions, and take his safety as your priority."

Jiang Qiubai nodded solemnly, "Junior brother understands."

Chu Nanfeng thought about it, took out the token of the word "' on his body, and smiled and said, "Brother Luo is also interested in helping Jungui now. I want to transfer some people to use it. It should be possible... I just don't know if the rules that are not allowed to interfere in the court have been changed. You can take this token first and go to Manager Pei to discuss it to see if the elders can borrow it here..."

Jiang Qiubai was overjoyed when he heard this and took the word "Treasure" card, "Thank you for your senior brother."

Chu Nanfeng felt tired of spiritual consciousness and knew that he could not talk for a long time. He nodded, "Then go, and talk about it after Jungui returns with you."

During the two days, Guo Rong chose to perform three offerings to worship the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. On the day of the dynasty, Guo Rong, dressed in military uniform, rode out of the palace and led the generals of the army to worship the gods of the six rings. After coming to the Meridian Gate, he looked at the civil and military officials who were standing quietly, looked at the eunuch holding the eunuch beside him, and slowly said, "Open the edict."

"Abide by the order." The eunuch bowed and responded, then took a step forward, stood slantedly in front of Guo Rong's left, and said loudly: "On March of the first year of Xiande, the emperor issued an edict to the world..."

The civil and military ministers and military generals in the ranks of the ranks, heard the words and shouted long live and bowed down. As the flags fluttered, the eunuch said: "Since the Tang Dynasty lost its power, the sky was difficult, and the Huang bandits were in chaos, after the war, the Zhu and Li wars, there were many cases in the middle and Xia. The sixth century was divided, and the heroes stood up in Haixian, and they were all good at vocalizing the Li family, and they all had the same ranks and ties with the four barbarians, and took advantage of the quarrels to follow the country. The style of the flowers was not competitive, and the fortune was the beloved, and who would not be angry?

I inherited the spirit of the last emperor, held the supreme position, and ruled the Huanying, and should respect myself and cultivate literary virtues. However, I rebelled against Liu Chong, stole my Hedong, and used a false title. I did not think about the benevolence and virtue of the late emperor, and kept my grace of correcting my mistakes, forgot the teachings of Pingyang Rat Escape, and acted against the will of heaven and against the will of the Khitan, lured the Khitan to form a bandit, and wanted to split the borders of our country, trapping the people's water and fire, and being infamous for the crimes, and being angry with both the gods.

I am now in charge of the Rong army, Gong Xing attacked, told the country in the suburbs and temples, and asked the generals and ministers, and the heaven tempted their hearts, and the country was no different. But I was so excited that I was not convinced; I believed in the righteousness of the people, so I was far away; the Five Emperors and Three Kings were very virtuous and great achievements, and I always used this way to correct all nations..."

After reading the edict, Guo Rong stepped forward and helped Feng, who was the first to bow to the left, said: "Senior, please get up, all the beloved ministers."

Guo Rong looked at Feng Dao, suddenly felt that he seemed older than before, and sighed in his heart, "I personally attacked the enemy, and the former emperor's coffin and the court's affairs are all hard work."

In a word, the king and his minister were already in a thread. Feng Dao's eyes were wet, he nodded and said solemnly: "The old minister will definitely live up to the entrustedness of Your Majesty." He had not expected that he would die more than a month later, but this was the last time he met Guo Rong.

Guo Rong nodded and walked to the center of the ranks of officials. With his right hand raised, a eunuch came forward with a tray in his hand. Guo Rong picked up the in-tray flag and personally taught the horse. The infantry commander and others led the troops to drive the plaque.

As the horns rang continuously, Guo Rong slowly got on the imperial carriage and drove out the way in the Shenhu Camp guards wearing black armor and riding a black horse. The guards in the palace guards stood up and drove out of the city.

Six days later, the three armies came to the south of Zezhou City. When Guo Rong ordered the troops to set up camp outside the city, the officials who came to pick up the carriage after hearing the news in the city had already come to the imperial carriage to visit.

Guo Rong got out of the car and looked at the commander of Zezhou Gao Huaide, and said, "Gaoiqing, can you tell me what is now in Luzhou? Where is Liu Ni's army? Is Gaoping County defended?"

Halfway through the road, he heard that the Han and Liao coalition forces could not capture Luzhou for a long time and divided their troops to attack Gaoping County. However, the war changed instantly, and he found out that he had not entered the city.

"Report to the Emperor, according to the report of the detective yesterday, Gao Ping was captured by the thief in Wei Shi..." Gao Huaide bowed and said, "Now Liu Ni is in Gaoping City, and the spy who went to Luzhou to inquire about military information has not yet returned."

"Yes." Guo Rong nodded, glanced at the happy state officials on his face and said to Gao Huaide: "I understand. If you want to find a horse and give me a reward, come and tell me... It's late at night, all the good guys will go back to the city to rest first, and we will discuss it tomorrow."

The officials who were originally happy looked confused when they heard this. If nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, they would be slightly more forbidden to settle down. However, welcoming Guo Rong and his personal guards, Shenhu Ying Guards, and first settling in the city was already arranged. Gao Huaide hurriedly said: "I have changed the state yamen to a temporary palace to await the sage..."

Guo Rong smiled and said in a flash, "It's late at night, and it's inevitable that they will disturb the people. I'll discuss it tomorrow, so let's go back first."

Although he was kind and happy, his tone was not allowed to be persuaded. All the officials knew that he was kind and loved the people, so they did not dare to speak anymore, so they had to bow and retreat to the city.

After the officials left, the Central Army's tent was set up. Guo Rong entered the Central Army's tent and made some arrangements with the generals, and ordered everyone to retreat and rest, but only left Jiang Qiubai.

"The rebel Liu has taken Gao Ping, and he will definitely send troops to attack Zezhou in one or two days. I heard that the bandits had 70,000 troops, and I don't know how many troops they left to attack Luzhou... The uncle of the army asked Elder Fu to go to Gaoping and find a bandit soldier to inquire."

It turned out that Jiang Qiubai, according to Chu Nanfeng's meaning, used the treasure card to finally let Manager Pei send Elder Fu, who had a cultivation level in Baodan, to help the army. If it was said that it would be difficult for the scouts and others to sneak into Gaoping City to inquire about military information, it would be possible for those who were in Baodan to go.

Jiang Qiubai nodded after hearing this, "Weicheng asked Elder Fu to go there immediately. He will be more than a hundred miles away from Gaoping. He will definitely come back before the hour of Mao. The emperor will also take a break. If there is any news, we will report it immediately."

As soon as the hour of Mao, over fifty years old, the thin elder Fu returned to the camp where Jiang Qiubai lived, but under his armpit, he was a sleepy Northern Han soldier who threw him on the ground. He smiled and said to Jiang Qiubai: "I have a bad memory, and I am afraid that I will make a mistake and make a big mistake, so I just caught someone and went back to ask Mr. Jiang for it."

"It's so good." Jiang Qiubai laughed: "I'm sorry, Elder Fu."

Elder Fu kicked the Han Bing's sleepy pussy and said to the Han Bing who was confused, "My husband has something to ask you, please answer it carefully. If it is false... Hehe, I'll cut you with one knife."

After saying that, he raised the stunned Han soldier out of the tent like a whirlwind. After a few breaths, he picked him up and threw him on the ground, "Do you know where you are?"

It turned out that Elder Fu let the Han soldiers see that they were in the Zhou camp. The Han soldiers were already bloodless. Looking at Elder Fu, he nodded in horror.

Jiang Qiubai restrained his thoughts of laughing and asked, "How many troops are there in Liu Ni and the Khitan coalition this time? How many are there in Gaoping City?"

The Han soldier swallowed his saliva and stammered: "I...oh, there are 70,000 people in Gaoping... there are more than 40,000 people in Gaoping."

"Oh, so there are more than 20,000 people left to attack Luozhou?" Jiang Qiubai paused, "Is Gaoping the leader Liu Min the traitor?"

After Liu Chong became emperor, he changed his name to Liu Min. Jiang Qiubai was afraid that he would not know, so he called Liu Chong's name below.

"Because... because he could not attack Luzhou, more than 5,000 people were lost." The Han soldiers were shocked and their words gradually became smooth. "There were 20,000 soldiers who were left to attack Luzhou, and in Gaoping... the emperor led more than 30,000 Han soldiers, and 10,000 were Khitan cavalry."

"Did Liu Ni know that my Emperor of Great Zhou was in charge of the army?" Jiang Qiubai said.

"Ah?" The Han soldier was shocked, stunned for a moment, and shook his head and said, "The little... the little and the generals have never heard of the Emperor of Great Zhou's personal expedition. I guess... the Emperor Liu doesn't know either."
