The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

But these were useless, as time went by, his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end the whole orb became smooth and brilliant, without any impurities in it.

At this time, Yang Heng brought the orb to his eyes again and watched it carefully.

Sure enough, the orb became very clear now, like a spring.

But Yang Heng didn't take it lightly, he began to pinch the formula again and chant the mantra.

"Three thousand generals of the five thunders, [-] soldiers of the thunder, the world will be burned by fire, and the evil spirits will be turned into dust. If there is any magic power, it will sweep away thousands of evil spirits. If there is a strong man who refuses to accept, the disciple will invite five hundred barbarians to burn him with thunder and fire. Fearing that the former master and disciple will make tricks, they will take him to the golden well to hide. Hurry like a law."

This mantra was passed down by the Taishang Infinite Patriarch of Longhu Mountain, Taiyi University, and it is most effective in subjugating demons and exorcising evil spirits.

If it was before the fusion of the heavens, this spell might only be half the effort, but now half of the heavens of the heavens are occupied by the heavens on the earth side, so this spell also shows its divine power.

With the creation of this spell, a god woke up in the plane of endless dimensions. After that, a little spiritual light pierced the plane of endless dimensions and landed in front of Yang Heng.

This is the soul of a certain patriarch in Longhu Mountain, which has awakened.

As soon as this aura came down, he swept it among the orbs in Yang Heng's hand.

Just for a moment, Yang Heng heard a shrill and desperate scream from within the orb.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Heng's mouth.

Fortunately, I have been in this foreign world for a long time, and I have learned to be smart, otherwise I am afraid I will be fooled by this old guy.

After a while, Yang Heng was sure that the spirit of the old eunuch was no longer in the treasure, so he carefully put the treasure into his bosom.

This treasure is a great supplement to Yang Heng. In the future, whether it is to subdue demons after refining, or to transform into an incarnation outside the body, it will be a great help to Yang Heng.

Yang Heng put away the orb, then used his magic foot power again, and started to return to the battlefield.

At this time, fierce fighting began again on the battlefield.

However, because of the precious flag that Jin Chanwen used again, his army became invulnerable again.

In addition, in the battle between the immortals just now, it was obvious that the big shots on his side had been eliminated, so the morale of the imperial court could be said to be low.

Even Dugong Li went to the battle to supervise the battle in person, but it would not be of much use.

Fortunately, they relied on the wall for defense. If they were on the plain, they would have been defeated long ago.

But that won't last long.

Sure enough, Yang Hengde's return became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

As soon as these court soldiers saw Yang Heng coming back, they immediately lost their will to fight. Some cleverly threw down their weapons and ran back.

But Li Dugong had no choice but to send his own soldiers up to serve as the supervising team, and whoever dared to retreat would be stabbed.

But even so, it couldn't stop more and more deserters. In the end, even those deserters dared to fight Dugong Li's supervising team with swords and guns.

At this time, Dugong Li knew that he could no longer stop the revelation. If he didn't leave, he might have to confess here.

So Li Dugong cast a spell and disappeared in a flash.

It wasn't until Yang Heng and Jin Chan led the army to kill the imperial army and finally counted the battlefield that they found out that Dugong Li had escaped.

But Yang Heng and Jin Chanwen didn't care, because this time they can be regarded as a real big victory.

There were nearly 10 prisoners alone.

If you add that those who were killed were injured and were dealt with by soldiers on Yang Heng's side, I am afraid that the imperial army has lost nearly 20.

Now the road from here to Gyeonggi can be said to be a smooth road, and there are not many troops guarding it.

Chapter 632

After fleeing from the battlefield, Dugong Li was as anxious as a fish slipping through the net, and as confused as a bereaved dog.

This can be said to be very embarrassing for a marshal who commands hundreds of thousands of troops.

But now I can't care about these things anymore, I'd better escape with my life and go back to the capital to report the matter to the emperor.

In this way, Li Dugong took dozens of his cronies, walked the path, crossed the cliff, and spent more than ten days before returning to the capital.

After he saw the tall towers of the capital, Li Dugong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

He thought that he would never see the capital again, but he never expected to come back alive.

This time he was really dangerous, even the old eunuch was killed on the spot, if he hadn't seen the opportunity and slipped away early, he might be staying in Yang Heng's prisoner camp now.

But after expressing his emotions, he still hurried to the city gate, but he was stopped by someone as soon as he reached the city gate.

This is not to blame for the soldiers guarding the city. They are dressed in rags, almost no different from beggars, but with individual knives and guns in their hands, they are not good people at first glance.

If they don't stop him and let them enter the city, if something happens, the soldiers guarding the city can't bear such responsibility.

Fortunately, Dugong Li was still calm, he took out his token and asked the soldier to hand it over to their superior.

After seeing Dugong Li's badge, the man knew it was not good, so he hurriedly came to the gate and led Dugong Li into the city gate. After that, he changed their clothes a little, and opened the way in front of them himself. , sent them to the palace.

……

At this time, when Emperor Shunde was above the main hall, he was restless.

After all, the battle ahead is related to his country. If he wins this time, the north will be stable. If he loses, his country may be unstable.

Shouming, who was sitting at the head of the great hall, had been stealing eyes on his grandpa.

Seeing Emperor Shunde was really restless, and he approved a memorial for half an hour without leaving a single word.

He hurriedly took a cup of tea from the side, and carefully placed it in front of the Shunde Emperor's Longshu case.

"Grandfather, let's have a cup of tea and relax."

Emperor Shunde took the teacup dully and drank it down.

"Do you think something will happen ahead? I have always felt a little restless these two days, and my eyelids have been twitching."

Shouming thought for a while, then said.

"Grandpa Huang, there is no need to worry. With the old Dugong going, plus that treasure, I think it will be able to withstand Yang Heng."

This is also Shouming's own judgment. He thinks that there is not much hope of defeating Yang Heng, but it is still possible to be able to hold a stalemate with Yang Heng.

Emperor Shunde was comforted, and he finally relaxed his brows. He sighed, looked up at Shouming next to him, and said helplessly: "It was because I favored Pudu Cihang in the past that caused this disaster. Otherwise, , how could this scourge Yang Heng rise?"

After saying this, Emperor Shunde's face became even more ugly.

Shou Ming who was standing aside also sighed, he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried into the hall.

"Long Live Lord, Governor Li please see me."

When Emperor Shunde heard these words, he immediately stood up excitedly, but he immediately understood what was going on, and collapsed on the throne.

And Shou Ming who was standing beside him also felt dizzy.

The reason why the two of them have such a form is because they know that Li Dugong, as the commander in chief, will not leave the army easily.

Now that they have returned to the capital, there is only one possibility, and that is that the hundreds of thousands of troops no longer exist.

Fortunately, after all, Emperor Shunde has been in the imperial court for decades, he reluctantly let out a sigh of relief, and then said helplessly to the following.

"Let this slave come in and answer."

After a while, Li Dugong stumbled into the hall in a mess.

After he entered the hall, he immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed continuously without saying a word.

Looking at Li Dugong like this, the Shunde Emperor above has already scattered the little luck in his heart.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Dugong then told Emperor Shunde everything that happened on the battlefield with tears in his face.

The Shunde Emperor sat on the throne weakly after listening, his eyes were blank.

Because he had foreseen that his family's country might be overturned.

But Shouming who was standing beside him didn't want to just throw away the throne right in front of him. He rolled his eyes and suddenly had a solution.

"Grandfather, now that Yang Heng is powerful, I'm afraid not only us, but even the princes of the world are very vigilant against him. We might as well issue an edict and let the princes of the world serve as king."

After Emperor Shunde heard this idea, his mind was spinning rapidly.

This is a way to temporarily maintain the situation.

But then again, how could those anti-kings and traitors listen to the words of the emperor.

"Will those traitors obey?"

Shouming replied confidently: "If it was in the past, these rebels would naturally ignore us. But now Yang Heng is about to attack the capital. If they don't act, I'm afraid they will be completely suppressed by Yang Heng in the end." .”

After all, Emperor Shunde had been emperor for decades, Shouming just reminded him, and he understood the reason.

The Emperor Shunde suddenly stood up from his throne, then walked a few steps back and forth on the imperial street, turned his head and nodded secretly to Shouming.

He thought in his heart that his grandson was really promising.

Dugong Li, who was kneeling below, was also rolling his eyes.

He is also thinking about the method of Shouming just now, and now that he thinks about it, this is really a perfect solution.

It's a pity that Shou Ming mentioned it too late. If he raised it before the big battle, he might be able to suppress Yang Heng again.

Now Yang Heng is already powerful, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and he is about to march towards the capital. Even if the princes of the world agree to Qin Wang, I am afraid that it will take some time to recruit soldiers and horses to gather food and grass.

In addition, the princes are far away, and now they cannot quench their thirst.

Now the only way to hold Yang Heng temporarily is to confront Yang Heng in the capital, but this is too dangerous. With Yang Heng's supernatural power, it may not be so realistic for these people in the capital to resist Yang Heng.

Although Li Dugong thought so, he didn't dare to say what he said, because he had just lost his teacher and humiliated the country. If he said something against the Shunde Emperor again, he might lose his head immediately.

Because of this, Dugong Li is already alive in his heart now.

It seemed that the imperial court could not be kept. It was a foregone conclusion for Yang Heng to sweep the north, so if he wanted to save his life, it seemed that he had to present a certificate of honor to his new master.

The Emperor Shunde and Shouming above were talking in full swing, and it never occurred to him that Li Dugong, who was kneeling below, had already had other thoughts.

In the end, Emperor Shunde and Shouming finally came up with a feasible solution.

First send envoys to Jin Province to invite Wang Zhen to come to help.

For this Wang Zhen, Emperor Shunde had lingering fears back then. He dared to march eastward with only tens of thousands of horses. If it weren't for his large number of people and the old eunuch's supernatural power, he might have really made him fight to the capital.

Because of this, Emperor Shunde was very impressed with him, thinking that as long as he came to help, he could temporarily resist Yang Heng.

But if you want this anti-king to come to help, then conditions are indispensable.

In the end, Emperor Shunde simply decreed that Wang Zhen be the king of Jin, hereditary, and let his descendants live in Jin Province forever.

As for the other anti-kings, Emperor Shunde also added officials and made a wish, and kept giving various rewards. If it can be implemented, then the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty may become a vassal state one by one.

But now the emperor of Shunde doesn't care about these things anymore, as long as he can block Yang Heng and temporarily preserve the existence of the court, then these people can be dealt with slowly in the future.

In this way, the imperial edicts drafted by Emperor Shunde were sent out one by one from the court.

At this time, Yang Heng had just finished rectifying his team.

Originally, he wanted to bring hundreds of thousands of troops to the north immediately, but the development of the matter gave him a heavy blow.

Because as Yang Heng brings more and more troops, he will lose the financial resources of the two provinces, and temporarily cannot sustain such a large-scale army expedition.

In addition, Shandong has been in turmoil over the years, and the people are displaced, and they don't have the mind to farm at ease, so the output is very small.

Under such circumstances, it is not bad to be able to barely maintain the stability in Shandong. If Yang Heng collects food and grass on a large scale, Shandong will be full of disaster victims.

In the end, there was no other way, Yang Heng could only return the soldiers and horsemen to station in Shandong, and at the same time urged Henan to raise food and grass as soon as possible.

Because Yang Heng knows that now is the best time, if he procrastinates any longer, the imperial court will be prepared, and if he wants to go north to destroy the imperial court, it will take some effort.

Fortunately, Henan is now stable, and the gentry in Henan are very supportive of Yang Heng. As soon as they received Yang Heng's order, they immediately began to raise food and grass. Many gentry even emptied their own granaries .

The reason why they are so active is that they can see that Yang Heng is now powerful. If things go on like this, the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty may eventually belong to Yang Heng.

That's why they actively donated money and food, just wanting to show their faces in front of the new king, and when the new dynasty is established in the future, they can also get rewards.

This reward is not ordinary, as long as they don't make any big mistakes in the future, they can maintain their prosperity and wealth for hundreds of years.

It is precisely because of the support of these gentry that the food and grass for the hundreds of thousands of troops were assembled within two months.

After Yang Heng received the report from below, he was both happy and worried.

The good news is that the army finally doesn't have to worry about food and grass, but the worry is that these gentry are so powerful, and these gentry in Henan province alone can get together so much in just two months. There is too much food and grass, which makes Yang Heng feel a little scared.
