The Mingyu of Prehistoric Times

Chapter 415 The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit blocks Ziya

It is said that Jiang Ziyazi defeated Kong Xuan's army and led the army across Jinji Ridge. The journey was uneventful. At this time, Tan Ma came and reported that the army had marched to Sishui Pass. Ziya sent an order to set up camp under Ji Shuiguan. Suddenly I saw: The camp is in a resort, and the back of the village is lonely. It is divided into Suzaku in the south and Xuanwu in the north, Qinglong in the east and White Tiger in the west. The golden bell is rang in the primary school at night time, and the drums of war drums are sounded. They camped close to the mountains and rivers, hiding strong bows and crossbows in hundreds of steps.

Ziya set up a court, sat under the Chinese army's tent, appointed Nezha as the advance officer, and appointed Nangong Shi as the rearguard, staying with the army for three days.

Han Rong, who was stationed at Sishui Pass, learned that Kong Xuan had failed and that Zhou soldiers had arrived at the pass. He hurriedly went up to the tower with his generals to watch. He saw Ziya's men and horses arranged in a tight formation: a mass of murderous intent, and thousands of rivers of iron and horse fighting; There are many colors and thousands of red flags and banners. The dense steel fronts are like rows of crystal plates of millions of sizes; the facing carbines are like rows of thousands of thick and thin icy tails. The faintly drawn corners are like the roar of an old dragon in the East China Sea; the sound of the bell being raised is like the sound of an iron horse in front of the eaves. The long bow spits out the moon, and the short crossbow looks like a flying star. The brocade tents are like dense clouds, and the flags and embroidered ribbons are like clouds. All the disciples wearing Taoist uniforms and Confucian scarves were wearing Yuxu's disciples, and their red robes and jade belts were all worn by walking horses. It's exactly: Ziya marched eastward to fight on the day of war, and I, Wu Weiyang, am on this trip.

When Han Rong saw red flags planted all over Jiang Ziya's military camp, he couldn't help but feel doubtful and uneasy. He quickly got down from the tower, returned to Yin'an Hall and wrote a memorial with the generals, and sent people to Chaoge to report the situation. At the same time, he sent the generals who defended the city to set up the defensive formation.

At this time, Ziya was sitting under the Chinese army's tent. When he heard that the advance officer Nezha saw that the army had been staying at Sishui Pass for three days without any sign of action, he couldn't help asking Jiang Zi: "The army has arrived at the pass. We should fight quickly. Uncle Master, why are you standing still?"

Jiang Ziya had already guessed that Nezha would ask this question, and said to him with a smile: "You can't act rashly. I decided to divide the troops into three groups: one to take Jiameng Pass; one to take Qinglong Pass; I will lead one to take Ji Shuiguan; in this way, we can This will save our army from the danger of being flanked by enemy forces. However, the person who leads the troops to seize Jiameng and Qinglong Pass must be a hero with both ability and political integrity. Xing Ze cannot bear such a heavy task. General Hong Er will go ahead.”

The two generals expressed their willingness to go. Ziya suddenly dared to say something to the two generals: "Each of you capture a castrate and divide it into two groups." After the two generals agreed, Ziya released the two castrates. On the table, it turns out that Huang Feihu grabbed Qinglong Pass and Hong Jin grabbed Jiameng Pass. The two generals were each draped in red and hung with flowers, and each route was divided into 100,000 soldiers.

Huang Feihu's forerunner was Deng Jiugong, and his subordinates also included Huang Ming, Zhou Ji, Long Huan, Hao Qian, Huang Feibao, Huang Feibiao, Huang Tianlu, Huang Tianjue, Huang Tianxiang, Taiying, Deng Xiu, Zhao Sheng, Sun Yanhong and other generals. The general chose an auspicious day to sacrifice the military flag and set off for Qinglong Pass.

The forerunner of Hong Jin who took Guimengguan was Ji Kang. His generals also included Nangong Shi, Su Hu, Su Quanzhong, Xin Mian, Tai Dian, Yan Yao, Qi Gong, Yin Ji, etc., who also took ten Thousands of people chose an auspicious day to sacrifice the military flag and march to Jiameng Pass.

Hong Jin's army left Sishui Pass. Along the way, people shouted at horses and their morale was high. They traveled through mountains and passed through some states and counties. The scouts in front came to report: "Jiameng Pass is ahead." "

Hong Jin sent an order to set up camp. After setting up camp, the troops shouted loudly and were eager to fight. Hong Jin set up the central military tent, and the generals came to escape. Seeing that the march was tired, Hong Jin ordered the soldiers: "After marching for a hundred miles, even though there is no battle, you will be tired. Tomorrow, who will make the hard trip to attack Jiameng Pass first?" ?”

Ji Kang responded: "I am willing to go." Hong Jin approved his request. The next day, Ji Kanti mounted his sword and came to Jiameng pass to challenge.

The generals guarding Jiameng Pass, Hu Sheng, Hu Lei, Xu Kun, and Hu Yunpeng, were discussing tactics to repel the enemy troops. Suddenly a soldier came to the commander's house and reported: "Report to the commander-in-chief: General Zhou has come to call the camp!" Hu Sheng saw. Like this, he quickly ordered his generals to compete with Zhou's generals. Unexpectedly, Zhou's generals were brave. For several days, Hu Sheng defeated two generals in a row. For a while, the morale of Jiamengguan soldiers was low. Hu Sheng was secretly worried, but he had no good solution.

A few days later, Hu Sheng still couldn't think of breaking Zhou Ying's strategy. He just said that his energy was almost exhausted, so he called his younger brother to discuss with him. Hu Lei heard that Hu Sheng had ordered him to come to see his brother.

Hu Sheng said to Hu Lei: "Xian brother, now we

After losing two generals in a row during World War II, one can easily imagine what his husband wanted. What's more, if the destiny belongs to the Lord of Zhou, and the Zhou Dynasty has won consecutive battles, it is no longer the same country. Let us brothers discuss it, it is better to surrender to the King of Zhou and follow the weather, which is also a wise man. "

When Hu Lei heard that his eldest brother wanted to join the Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't help but shook his head and objected: "What the eldest brother said is wrong. Our Hu family has been favored by the country for generations and enjoyed the emperor's high officials and generous salaries. Now when the country is in trouble, you don't think about how to repay the king's kindness." , share the sorrow of the monarch, but say such words that are greedy for life and afraid of death. As the saying goes: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers." It is inevitable to use your life to serve the country. Brother, you must not say such offensive words. The enemy will definitely be defeated.”

After a long conversation, Hu Sheng had nothing to say, and Hu Sheng had no choice but to let Hu Lei and Zhou Ying fight again. The next day, Hu Lei bravely rushed out of Jiameng Pass and challenged Zhou Jun. The sentry reported the news to the commander's camp, and Nangong Shi immediately went out to meet the enemy.

Hu Lei shouted: "Nangong Shixiu is crazy!" He slashed Nangong Shi's head with the knife in his hand. Nangong Shi raised the sword in his hand and faced him. The two men's mounts went back and forth, and the two swords were waved at the same time, starting a fierce battle.

After Nangong Shi fought with Hu Lei for thirty or forty rounds, seeing that he could not defeat Hu Lei, he deliberately created a flaw. Hu Lei slashed hard at Nangong Shi's arms, and the heads of the two horses were intertwined. At the scene, Nangong Shi dodged the slashing knife and reached out to pick Hu Leisheng over. He caught Hu Lei in front of the military camp, dismounted outside the camp gate, and quickly entered the commander's camp to report his merits.

Hong Jin passed the order, "Push in." The soldiers pushed Hu Lei to the front of the Chinese army's tent. Hu Lei stood and refused to kneel down. Hong Jin said: "You have been captured, why are you resisting?"

Hu Lei scolded loudly: "You treasonous traitor, you don't want to serve the country, but instead help the evil people to harm the country. You are really worse than a pig or a dog. I can't wait to eat your flesh!"

Seeing that Hu Lei was so arrogant and disrespectful, Hong Jin couldn't help but became furious and ordered: "Push him out, kill his head and report back later." After receiving the order, the sword players on the left and right immediately pushed Hu Lei out of the camp gate, and immediately beheaded him in public. Hong Jin then celebrated Nangong Shi's victory. Just as he was drinking, the sentry came to report: "Hu Lei has come to challenge again."

Hong Jin was furious and issued an order: "Kill the reporting officer! Why is the reporting unclear?" The soldiers around him agreed and tied up the reporting officer. The reporting officer shouted loudly, "Unjust!" "Hong Jin ordered him to be pushed back and asked the reason: "You didn't report the incident clearly, so you should be beheaded. Why do you cry out for injustice? "

The reporting officer yelled, "Sir, how dare I report something unclear? There's so much bully out there." Nangong Shi said, "Let me come out of the camp and have a look, and then I'll know what's going on." Hong Jin thought about it and felt it was too strange.

Nangong Shi mounted his horse again and left the military camp to wait and see in front of the pass. Sure enough, it was Hu Lei. Nangong Shi cursed loudly: "How dare you use evil magic to confuse me! Don't even think about escaping!"

In fact, Hu Lei's martial arts skills were far inferior to Nangong Shi's. Less than thirty rounds later, he was captured by Nangong Shi again. He beat the war drum and returned to the military camp to pay homage to Hong Jin. Hong Jin was very happy and escorted Hu Lei to the front of the camp. However, Hong Jin could not break Hu Lei's spell. The officers and men under his command started talking a lot, which alarmed the family members of the army in the rear camp. As a result, Princess Long Ji came to the central army tent to inquire about what was going on. the whole story.

Princess Longji is the daughter of the Jade Emperor and was born to the Queen Mother. Because he was born at the wrong time, he wandered into the lower world and met Hong Jin. The two became husband and wife, and together they assisted King Wu in his achievements, hoping to become a saint physically or become a god or general in the future.

Hong Jin told Hu Lei's story, and Princess Longji asked Hu Lei to be brought up for a look. After reading it, she smiled and said, "This is just a little trick. What's so difficult to figure out!" He parted the hair on the top of Hu Lei's head, took out a three-inch Qiankun needle, and inserted it into Hu Lei's Niwan Palace. Hu Lei died immediately.

The princess then explained to Hong Jin, "He used the substitute method, so there is no need to make a fuss!" Little did she know, Jiang Ziya was in trouble just because he killed Hu Lei.

After Hong Jin killed Hu Lei, he placed him outside the camp gate for public display. The messenger hurriedly reported to Jiameng Pass: "Report to the commander-in-chief: The second master was killed in battle and was put on display in front of the camp."

After hearing this, Hu Sheng was shocked and went out to watch. He saw his younger brother's head was beheaded and hung at the gate of the camp. He couldn't help crying: "My brother didn't listen to his words, so he was killed. Now most of the world belongs to the king of Zhou. I Surrender is the best option.”

So he ordered the military officers to write a surrender document and said: "Immediately surrender the Guanzhai to save the people from disaster." His subordinates hurriedly wrote the surrender and waited to send someone to contact him.

At this time, Hong Jin was drinking celebratory wine with his generals. Suddenly a soldier came to report: "Jiamengguan sent someone to contact you." Hong Jin sent a message: "Bring in." He brought the envoy to the front of the camp and asked the envoy to come. Present a letter of surrender.

Hong Jin read the letter of surrender, rewarded the envoy generously, and said to him: "I will not write a reply. Tomorrow morning our army will march into the pass to appease the people." The envoy returned to the pass and met with Hu Sheng. The report said: " General Hong agreed to our request and will not write a reply and will enter customs early tomorrow morning."

Hu Sheng ordered his soldiers to raise the flag of Zhou State at Jiameng Pass, clean up household registration records, collect the money and grain stored in the treasury, and wait for delivery and settlement early the next morning. While cleaning up, a soldier suddenly reported: "A Taoist nun in red came outside the General Military Mansion and wanted to see the master."

Hu Sheng didn't know the original enemy among them, so he sent an order: "Invite her in." After a while, the Taoist nun walked in from the main door. She looked very fierce, with a water and fire ribbon tied around her waist. She came to the front of the hall and raised her hands to salute Hu Sheng.

Hu Sheng bowed and returned the gift, and asked casually: "Master is here, but what advice do you have?" The Taoist nun said: "I am the Fire Spirit Holy Mother of Qiu Mingshan. Your brother Hu Lei is my apprentice, because he died at the hands of Hong Jin Come on, I came down here specifically to avenge him. You are his brother, but you don’t value the kinship of brothers and the morality of monarchs and ministers, but you have an outsider’s heart and want to work with the enemy!”

After hearing these words, Hu Sheng hurriedly knelt down and said: "Teacher, I really don't know you, and I didn't go to greet you. Please forgive me. I don't want to work for the enemy, but I just feel that I am short of major generals and have limited talents and knowledge. Can't bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the enemy; not to mention that all the princes in the world are considering joining the Zhou Kingdom. Even if they defend Jiameng Pass, they will eventually belong to others. Bai: Bai makes the soldiers and civilians suffer every day, and the disciples have to surrender, just to save this country. How could the local people be greedy for life and afraid of death? "

After hearing Hu Sheng's explanation, Our Lady of the Fire Spirit nodded and said with satisfaction: "This makes sense. It's just that when I come down from the mountain, I will definitely avenge your brother. You can put up the flag of the Shang Kingdom again on the city. I There is a way."

Hu Sheng had no choice but to hang up the Shang flag again. When Hong Jin saw Hu Sheng reneging on his word outside, he was very angry with Hu Sheng and said viciously: "How dare this despicable thing play tricks on me so capriciously! Wait until I cut this guy into pieces tomorrow to dispel my hatred." \

,"In Jiameng Pass, Hu Sheng said to the Fire Spirit Virgin Mary: "How many people and horses are there in the pass?" Hu Sheng said: "There are 20,000 infantry and cavalry in total." "The Holy Mother of Fire Spirits said; "You select three thousand people and give them to me. I will personally go to the training ground to teach them how to drill, so that they will be useful. "

Hu Sheng immediately selected 3,000 sturdy men. Our Lady of the Fire Spirit ordered these three thousand people to wear bright red clothes, barefoot, with their hair spread loose, a red paper gourd hanging on their backs, and the "Wind and Fire" talisman written on the heart of their feet. One hand held a knife, and the other Holding the pan in hand, he went to the training ground to practice.

The next day, Hong Jin sent Su Quanzhong to Guanxia to challenge him. Hu Sheng hung up the "war free card". Quanzhong had to return to the camp and said to Hong Jin: "Hu Sheng hung up the "war free card", so I had to come back first. ," Hong Jin was resentful, but had no choice but to wait.

Moreover, Our Lady of the Fire Spirit trained her men and horses until the seventh day before they were proficient in the exercises. On this day, Our Lady of the Fire Spirit ordered the "war-free card" to be taken off. With the sound of a cannon, the troops and horses from Guanzhong rushed out in unison.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirits rode a golden-eyed camel and hid behind the formation together with the fire dragon soldiers she trained. She first asked Hu Sheng to come to the front to challenge. After receiving the order, Hu Sheng took the lead and came to the front of the military camp and asked Hong Jin to come out for a conversation.

The soldier who spied on the news rushed to report: "Hu Sheng is challenging at the pass."

After hearing the report, Hong Jin immediately picked up his sword, mounted his horse, and led the generals around him out of the military camp. When he saw Hu Sheng, he couldn't help but curse: "You evil thief is capricious. You are really a despicable thing worse than a pig or a dog. How dare you come to tease and insult me." After that, he slapped his horse and swung his knife to kill Hu Sheng, but Hu Sheng did not fight back.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit activated the golden-eyed camel, brandished two Tai'a swords, and shouted: "Hong Jin, don't run away, I'm coming." Hong Jin looked carefully and saw a Taoist nun with a human and an animal, like a ball of fire. Roll towards him. Seeing this Taoist nun, he understood three things. He was afraid that Hu Sheng would go back on his word because of this Taoist nun.

Hong Jin didn't recognize Our Lady of Fire Spirits, so he asked: "Who is here?" The Virgin replied: "I am Our Lady of Fire Spirits of Qiu Mingshan. Just because you killed my disciple Hu Lei! I came here specially today. Revenge. If you know the truth, you should quickly dismount and let me kill you. Don't wait for me to get angry and kill these hundreds of thousands of creatures. "

After the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit finished speaking, she flew up the Tai'a sword in her hand and took Hong Jin's head straight. Hong Jin hurriedly raised the big sword in his hand to greet him. Within a few rounds, Hong Jin was about to use the Flag Gate Escape to kill the Fire Spirit Madonna. Unexpectedly, the Madonna was wearing a golden glow crown with a light yellow baggage on her head. , Our Lady of the Fire Spirit opened the bundle, and a golden light fifteen or six feet high appeared, shrouding the Virgin of the Fire Spirit in the middle. She could see Hong Jin, but Hong Jin could not see her.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit immediately stabbed Hong Jin in the chest. Hong Jin had no time to dodge and was split open by the chain armor. Hong Jin said "Oh" and ran away injured. Hong Jin was seriously injured and escaped. Our Lady of the Fire Spirit commanded three thousand fire dragon soldiers to rush into the Zhou army's camp. The oncoming force was extremely fierce, and suddenly the fire shot into the sky, and all I saw was: scorching flames burning in the sky, and the majestic and majestic fire was red all over the place. It's like a wheel of fire flying up and down, like a firebird dancing from west to east.

This fire is not a man drilling wood, nor Laojun refining elixirs, nor a sky fire, nor a wild fire, but a samadhi fire made by the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, three thousand fire dragon soldiers are brave, the wind and fire talisman is combined with the five elements, and the five elements are boiled with biochemical fire. Liver wood can generate strong fire in the heart. Fire in the heart can cause the earth in the spleen to be flat. The earth in the spleen can generate metal and turn into water. Water can generate wood to penetrate the spirit. All life and transformation are caused by fire. Fire burns all things in the sky. The flag gates were burned down and there was no way to stop them, everyone threw away their gongs and drums to escape, and the battered corpses piled up, their lives lost for the country.

This is exactly what happened: it was difficult to avoid the Hongjin disaster, and Princess Longji also suffered.

It is said that Hong Jin escaped into the camp with a sword wound. Unexpectedly, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother led three thousand fire dragon soldiers to rush into the camp, which was overwhelming. The whole army was complaining and trampling on each other. The number of dead and injured soldiers was too many to count.

Princess Longji was in the back camp and heard the whole army crying. She hurriedly picked up her sword and mounted her horse, and walked out of the Chinese army camp. She saw Hong Jin lying on the saddle and running for his life. Before Hong Jin had time to tell Princess Longji about the golden light and so on. A strange thing happened. Princess Longji had seen flames filling the sky and thick smoke billowing. She was about to recite a spell to put out the fire, when she saw a ball of golden light coming towards her. Princess Longji didn’t know what it was. She hurriedly wanted to see clearly, but was caught by the fire. The Holy Mother Spirit raised her sword and struck it head on.

Princess Longji was cut in the chest by the sword of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit. She screamed, turned her horse's head and fled towards the northwest. The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit chased her for six to seventy miles before turning back. In this battle, Hong Jin lost more than 10,000 troops. Hu Sheng was very happy and welcomed the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit back to the prison.

Princess Long Ji was originally a fairy from the Flower Palace, with golden branches and jade leaves. Now she has fallen into the mortal world, and she will inevitably suffer the disaster of this sword. She and Hong Jin and his wife escaped with injuries, and ran for sixty or seventy miles before gathering up the defeated soldiers and setting up camp. They quickly took out the elixir and applied it for treatment, and the injuries were cured in a short time.

He hurriedly wrote a letter to Jiang Ziya asking for reinforcements. When the messenger delivered the letter to Ziya's camp, Ziya was sitting upright in his commanding position. Suddenly someone reported: "Hong Jin sent a messenger and is waiting for orders outside the camp gate."

Jiang Ziya ordered: "Order him to come in." The messenger entered the camp, kowtowed and handed over the letter. Ziya opened the letter, and his face became more and more gloomy as he read it. After reading Hong Jin's letter asking for help for a while, he realized that Hong Jin had defeated Jiameng Pass.

After reading the letter, Ziya was shocked and said, "This time I have to go in person." Then he told Li Jing, "You can temporarily act as an agent in the camp until I go there in person. Don't disobey my order." Don't fight with Sishui Pass, guard the camp strictly, and don't act without permission, so as not to damage the morale of the army. Anyone who disobeys the order must be punished by military law. Wait until I come back to capture Sishui Pass. "
