The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Afterwards, Yang Heng took off his dragon robe and put on Taoist costumes, and then stood in front of the dharma altar with his hair on his sword and his feet on Kuigang.

Then he chanted the mantra:

"The fragrance is heavy to match the heaven and earth, and the fragrance is ignited to penetrate the gate of heaven; the golden bird runs like a cloud and an arrow, and the jade rabbit shines like a wheel; the Nanchen Beidou is full of sky, and the five-color clouds are full of clouds; the temple is opened in the Ziwei Palace, and the peach blossoms and jade girls invite the gods; thousands of miles away On the way, please extend the incense, and the flying clouds come down on horses; please pay homage to the three benefactors of this altar, the saints of the King Kong; the general Xuantian Zhenwu, the five emperors of the five directions appear like clouds; Zhalang; when the jitong comes to speak, it is very clear to point out the disciples, please ask Zheng Huaixing to come. The gods are as urgent as the law."

After Yang Heng's incantation was uttered, countless rules descended in the void.

As soon as these rules were swept away in Dongshan County, countless red lights flew out from the homes of countless people. These red lights gathered in front of Yang Heng's altar in just a moment.

Soon Yang Heng could see clearly that what these red lights condensed into was Zheng Huaixing.

Yang Heng has no temper for this Zheng Huaixing now. When he was alive, he relied on the people of a county to block him for a few days, which caused him a lot of losses.

After death, he was still uneasy about life, and even wanted to become a god and continue to fight against himself.

And it was Zheng Huaixing who was in the red light and slowly opened his eyes, two golden lights appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Yang Heng.

Even though Zheng Huaixing hadn't become a god yet, he just forcibly became a newly accomplished god by virtue of Yang Heng's spell and the blessing of heaven.

But even so, he still has some natural supernatural powers of gods, so he can see Yang Heng's side at a glance with countless rules.

Each of these rules represents a powerful deity.

Zheng Huaixing's newly awakened consciousness is also a little surprised. Is it true that, as in the legend, the Holy Son of Heaven is protected by a hundred spirits behind him.

Yang Heng, who was in front of the dharma altar, did not greet Zheng Huaixing now, and said directly: "Zheng Huaixing, although you are dead now, you are not far away from becoming a god. Can you now cast aside the darkness and turn to the light?"

When he said this, Yang Heng's other hand had already grabbed Mu Ruyi.

As long as Zheng Huaixing said no, he would immediately pulverize Zheng Huaixing with lightning.

Although this cannot completely make Zheng Huaixing disappear, it can also delay the time for him to become a god. Next, Yang Heng will burn all the books in Zheng Huaixing's writing and suppress them with dragon energy, so that he will live forever if he is righteous.

Even if the common people are grateful for Zheng Huaixing, they can't jump out of reincarnation and become a god again.

After Zheng Huaixing's death now, his mind is clear, and he has a little love for life.

After all, when he was alive, he had served Wu Wang Li Xian loyally, now that he is dead, he should think about himself.

Therefore, Zheng Huaixing just thought for a moment, then lowered his head slightly, and then said to Yang Heng: "The Holy Son of Heaven, when I didn't know the sky, I was rude to the Holy Son of Heaven, please forgive me, if the Holy Son of Heaven can make me a god , then from now on I will practice the way of God, protect the people, and obey the order of the Son of Heaven."

Chapter 674

Just as Zheng Huaixing finished saying this, a little golden light fell from the Dao of Heaven and fell into Zheng Huaixing's divine sense.

Zheng Huaixing's soul, which was still somewhat erratic, suddenly froze this time, and countless powers of faith gathered on him in the blink of an eye.

Then his body turned into a mass of red sun, appearing in front of Yang Heng.

It turned out that the oath he just said was touched by Heaven, so he lowered the reward.

That's why he was able to quickly become a god.

However, this is not only a reward from the Dao of Heaven, but also a bondage to him. If he breaks his promise from now on, those divine lights will immediately disperse his body and make his years of hard work come to naught.

At this time, Zheng Huaixing achieved the divine body, and also possessed the supernatural powers of the gods.

It took only a moment for him to understand that he was now forcibly tied to the Yang Hengde Dynasty by Tiandao.

At this time, he also smiled bitterly. When he was alive, he served Yang Heng's enemies loyally, so he died. He never thought that after death, he would be tied to Yang Heng's dynasty instead.

Yang Heng, who was standing in front of the altar, had obviously received a message from the Dao of Heaven, so he also understood that Zheng Huaixing in front of him was now a friend rather than an enemy.

So Yang Heng laughed a few times.

Afterwards, he uttered a mantra: "I would like to invite the gods of Liuding Liujia to cut off the road and wait for others to go. The three souls return to themselves, and the seven spirits go with them. Myself, after I send the gods away, please come quickly, I serve the ancestor of Hunyuan, hurry like a law, and the evil spirits will retreat from hiding."

This is the magic spell.

As soon as the mantra was chanted, Zheng Huaixing's soul, which had already been condensed, involuntarily dispersed, and fell back into the homes of the common people in every household.

Next, Yang Heng retreated to the altar, and then returned to the hall, ordering the eunuch next to him.

"Pass down my decree, seal Zheng Huaixing as the City God of Dongshan County, and build a City God Temple for him in Dongshan County."

The eunuch next to him was a little confused about Yang Heng's will. A few days ago, Yang Heng hated Zheng Huaixin to the bone, what's wrong now?He even wanted to build a temple for him who died.

However, as eunuchs and masters, even if they have doubts, they must do their best to carry it out.

So soon, the people in Dongshan County already knew Yang Heng's order.

And those common people who were still prejudiced against Yang Heng, and even had some hatred, finally calmed down some of their anger.

The tense Dongshan County has finally become calmer now.

For Yang Heng's award, Zheng Huaixing also reciprocated.

On that night, many people in Dongshan County dreamed of Zheng Huaixing.

In the dream, Zheng Huaixing told the people that because of Yang Heng's reward, he has become the city god of Dongshan County, protecting the people of Dongshan County in peace and ensuring the well-being of the Song Dynasty.

In the next morning, many people who had dreamed told the news to others.

At the beginning, others didn't believe it. After all, Yang Heng and Zheng Huaixing were sworn enemies. How could it be possible to turn hostility into friendship now?

However, as more and more dreamers came out to prove this, Zheng Huaixing's dream was confirmed to be true by the people of Dongshan County.

Therefore, Dongshan County, which was a little tense, began to subside at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time Yang Heng led hundreds of thousands of troops to march again, Dongshan County was no different from the original counties that surrendered, and it was completely subordinated to Yang Heng's rule.

……

Besides, the city of Nanjing was already in chaos at this time.

With the defeat of the frontline army, the dignitaries in Nanjing also knew the news that Yang Heng was about to call.

These dignitaries who had held a glimmer of hope that Li Qi could resist Yang Cheng had no such thought at all now.

In order to save their lives, these people began to transfer property in Nanjing non-stop, and at the same time transferred their cronies from Nanjing to the countryside.

As for the dignitaries themselves, they couldn't leave the city because of the strictness of Wu Wang Li Xian.

Being able to send relatives out was the result of Wu Wang Li Xian not wanting to make too much trouble with them, so he was lenient.

But even so, housing prices in Nanjing fell three times a day, while food prices began to skyrocket instead.

Although Wu Wang Li Xian ordered those grain merchants to stabilize prices several times, but his decree is not even as good as a butt wipe.

Therefore, the people in Nanjing City are full of complaints.

But for this situation, Wu Wang Li Xian really had nothing to do. If he was in peacetime, he would naturally be able to force the dignitaries to cut prices, and at the same time mobilize food and grass from other places into Nanjing City.

But now the officials in those places have also learned their skills. They apparently agreed to Wu Wang Li Xian's order, but not a single drop of grain was transported to Nanjing City.

Because these officials have already seen clearly that the entire Wu Kingdom may not be able to survive. Under such circumstances, they naturally have to think about their future wealth.

Therefore, their idea was that if King Li Xian of Wu could resist Yang Heng in Nanjing and Yang Heng was forced to retreat to the north, then they would all be subjects of Wu.

If the city of Nanjing is breached, they will immediately send Yang Heng a surrender list.

And Wu Wang Li Xian obviously knew this too, so for the sake of his own wealth, he also risked his life.

This Wu Wang Li Xian appointed Zhou Yan, his confidant counselor, as the defense ambassador of Nanjing City.

At the same time, he also opened his inner treasury, and the grain, grass and silver inside could be used as Zhou Yan did.

This Zhou Yan was not as indecisive as Wu Wang Li Xian. On his first day as the defense ambassador, he gathered all the troops together, and at the same time began to talk to these dignitaries one by one.

The purpose of doing this is to let those dignitaries hand over all their servants and at the same time pay part of their food and wages.

These dignitaries are actually unwilling in their hearts. After all, these servants are the guarantee of their lives, but in the face of Zhou Yan's tough attitude, they can only pretend.

Therefore, soon many servants in many families were randomly equipped, and then threw a knife and sent them to the barracks.

This is also Zhou Yan's literati style. He really doesn't understand the military. Seeing these dignitaries send so many people, he thought they had compromised, so he began to arrange the defense of Nanjing City with peace of mind.

However, this literati who didn't know anything about military finally arranged nearly [-] people on the city wall of Nanjing City, and then evenly distributed them.

You must know that the city of Nanjing has a circumference of seventy miles.

In such a long length, even if 10 people are all on the city wall, the thickness of the defense is not much.

However, Zhou Yan didn't realize this. Instead, he was complacent, thinking that as long as the walls of Nanjing City were high and thick, Yang Heng would not be able to break in even if he had great abilities.

But he did not expect that the interior of Nanjing City is now a powder keg.

Some time ago, he forced all the dignitaries to hand over their military power, and then asked them to donate food. This time, he asked them to hand over their servants, and made them easy and priceless. It was completely against these dignitaries and local gentry. .

If the king of Wu Li Xian was strong, these people would naturally dare not say anything, but now that the dynasty has reached a time when the wind and rain are uncertain, these dignitaries naturally have their own ideas.

Therefore, before Yang Heng's army reached Nanjing, the letters of surrender flew to Yang Heng's desk like snowflakes.

And Yang Heng liked to hear about this situation. You must know that if you want to break through Nanjing City with a large army, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Even if Nanjing is forcibly breached, then I am afraid that there will not be much left of my hundreds of thousands of troops in the end.

It is naturally a great thing for me to have these people as internal support.

Therefore, Yang Heng responded to the letters of these people, picking up the most important ones, and the leaders.

Tell them that as long as they can make great contributions in breaking Nanjing this time, their prosperity and wealth will be guaranteed by then.

Just such an ordinary letter is equal to one hundred thousand soldiers.

These dignitaries were overjoyed after receiving Yang Heng's letter, and then they began to communicate with each other, preparing to open the city gate when necessary, and make a great contribution in front of Yang Heng.

In fact, it wasn't just these dignitaries who were thinking about how to save their lives, even the King of Wu, Li Xian, was also thinking about it.

Although Li Xian didn't intend to surrender, he also wanted to escape from Nanjing City when necessary, and then make a comeback in other places.

Therefore, on the one hand, he fully supported Zhou Yan in defending Nanjing City, and on the other hand, he arranged for his confidants to arrange escape routes for him.

As the vanguard Liu Yue's army came to the city of Nanjing, the atmosphere in the whole city of Nanjing became more tense.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yan directly gave up all the cities around Nanjing to Liu Yue. He only wanted to defend the city of Nanjing, and then fight Yang Heng to the death.

If it is united as one, then his method is really good, because the walls of Nanjing are high and thick, and food and grass are abundant, if the common people fight to the death, Yang Heng will have no choice but to return to the north.

But the actual situation is that Liu Yue received the letter just after he arrived at the foot of Nanjing City.

This letter is a document jointly signed by many dignitaries in it. It is to tell Liu Yue that as long as Liu Yue sieges the city one day, as long as Liu Yue raises a big red flag, they will immediately contact the people and open the city gate to welcome the heavenly army into the city.

But for this kind of thing, Liu Yue didn't dare to advocate without authorization, so he could only tie up the troops under the city of Nanjing, and then wait for Yang Heng's hundreds of thousands of troops to drive to the foot of Nanjing.

However, even if Yang Heng's 10 people came, they would not be able to surround the entire Nanjing city. They could only pick up some important arteries and arrange some troops to defend, and gathered most of the troops to the north gate of Nanjing city. .

Chapter 675 Siege

After resting for a few days, Yang Heng beat the drums and assembled the generals this morning.

Then Yang Heng began to arrange the attack on Nanjing City.

For this majestic city, Yang Heng also has some headaches, but no matter how troublesome it is, he will fight.

Therefore, he ordered several generals to launch attacks in several directions of Nanjing City. These attacks did not really aim to attack the city wall, but to restrain the defenders of Nanjing City so that he could not concentrate all his forces on himself. on the main attack direction.

As the main attack direction to the north, Yang Heng sent his own hero Liu Yue as the main attack.

It's not that Yang Heng doesn't want to give credit to other people. It's because other people have lost their original enterprising spirit since they were appointed as marquises, and only Liu Yue still dares to fight.

And Yang Heng himself also supported Liu Yue's army. As long as there was any critical situation, Yang Heng would be able to use his magical powers to go for reinforcements.

After the arrangements were made, the entire battalion began to beat the drums, and hundreds of thousands of troops rushed out to all directions of Nanjing City.

Zhou Yan on the city wall also noticed Yang Heng's actions.

On the one hand, he hurriedly deployed the army to defend the city wall, and on the other hand, he reported to Li Xian, the king of Wu in Nanjing, to let Li Xian go to the top of the city to boost morale.

But Wu Wang Li Xian dared to go to the city to seek death, so he ordered people to spread the word that Premier Zhou Yan would lead the army, and he himself would organize food and grass for him in the rear, in case of emergencies.

Zhou Yan stomped his feet angrily when he heard King Wu's order. What time is it, and he is still greedy for life and afraid of death.

But he couldn't control Wu Wang Li Xian's will, so he had no choice but to put this matter aside in the end.

In such a short time, Yang Heng's army below had prepared all kinds of engineering equipment, and then countless troops rushed towards Nanjing City.

Although Zhou Yan looked at the large crowd of people below, his eyes were blurred and his body trembled a little.

However, this man's will is still firm. Although he faced the siege of the army for the first time, he still gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to prepare for defense.

Immediately afterwards, cauldrons began to burn one after another in the city of Nanjing, and what was boiled in the cauldrons was the famous "golden juice".

Everyone should know what this thing is, so I won't go into details here.
