under night.
Inside the Xiqi camp, a golden light flashed, and Jiang Ziya, who had his eyes closed in the tent, slowly opened his eyes.
"Yang Jian, you're back."
There was a flash of golden light, and Yang Jian appeared in the tent, with a tied figure behind him.
"Uncle Jiang, Yang Jian has fulfilled his mission. Brothers Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Nezha have obeyed the will of heaven and are preparing for you to join Uncle Jiang. Li Jing was also kidnapped by Nezha at night."
After Yang Jian reported respectfully, Li Jing behind him was tied up tightly with the Hun Tian Ling, even his mouth was sealed, so he could only make a humming sound.
This made Jiang Ziya smile with satisfaction.
"General Li, I know you are loyal, but you are foolishly loyal. The Shang Dynasty is doomed, and Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Nezha are disciples of the Chan Sect. Do you think the tyrant will let you go in the future?"
Jiang Ziya shook his head and sighed with a hypocritical smile, as if trying to persuade Li Jing to surrender. However, at this time, Li Jing, who was tied up, had eyes full of anger and stared at Jiang Ziya.
It was this expression that made Jiang Ziya secretly relieved.
This time, there shouldn't be any more trouble like the Huang Feihu incident. After all, Nezha, Mu Zha and Nezha are all the third generation disciples of the Chan sect.
This time he even kidnapped his own father, which shows his sincerity.
"Report..."
At this moment, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the tent, and the messenger hurriedly stepped into the tent and knelt on one knee.
"Your Excellency, a fire has broken out in the rear of the Shang army. The flames are spreading across the sky. The Shang army camp is in chaos."
Hearing the messenger's report, Jiang Ziya immediately smiled. Together, the Li father and son would really have no chance to return to the Shang Dynasty.
"Yang Jian, you must lead 80,000 elite troops to attack the Shang camp while the chaos is going on."
"promise!"
Yang Jian, who was well prepared, clasped his fists and went down to lead the army to attack.
At this time, flames shot up into the sky from the Yin Shang camp.
"what happened?"
Huang Feihu looked at the fire in the rear military camp with anger on his face.
At this time, a young general hurriedly shouted:
"General, it's bad. Li Jing and his four sons have rebelled. Nezha, Jinzha and Muzha have set fire to the baggage in the rear."
"General, it's bad. The Xiqi army is attacking our camp."
"General, the South Camp is under attack!"
For a moment, the Yin Shang camp was in chaos. When Huang Feihu saw this situation, he shouted angrily:
"Pass on my order. Tell me to stop the Xiqi army's sneak attack. If you can't resist, set the camp on fire and the army retreat to the rear."
"Order Generals Zhang Guifang and Qiu Yin to lead the troops to resist the Xiqi army. I will personally go to the rear to destroy the traitor!"
Huang Feihu was really angry. The three armies had just been stabilized, but someone rebelled.
Rear camp.
"Haha, big brother, second brother, you go first. I have the Wind Fire Wheels, and no one can stop me, Nezha."
Nezha, riding on his wind-fire wheels, was seen wreaking havoc and setting fire in the military camp. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky.
When Jin Zha and Mu Zha saw this, they nodded and took advantage of the chaos to escape from the military camp.
"Nezha!"
A roar came from a distance, and Huang Feihu and his son glared at him.
"You traitor!"
Facing the criticism, Nezha pretended to be angry and shouted:
"What traitor! I am a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren of the Kunlun Mountain School of Chan Sect. Jiang Ziya of Xiqi is my uncle. What do you have to do with me, Nezha?"
"The Xiqi Chan Sect is my fellow disciple of Nezha!"
Seeing Nezha's shameless face, Huang Feihu was immediately furious and shouted:
"Nezha, die!"
However, Nezha, riding on the Wind Fire Wheel, laughed loudly:
"Huang Feihu, I won't play with you today."
Facing Huang Feihu, Nezha did not get entangled and chose to escape directly.
Amidst the turmoil, flames shot up into the sky at the Shang Dynasty camp in Yanshan.
Yang Jian personally led an army of 80,000 and broke through the Shang Dynasty's several defense lines with great force. If Huang Feihu had not led the troops to stabilize the situation at the critical moment.
This battle has the potential to break through the Shang Dynasty camp.
Until the next day, the Shang army began to withdraw its forces, and most of its troops in Yanshan were lost.
The morale in the Shang army camp was low, while the morale of the Xiqi army was greatly boosted.
Xiqi.
"Haha, congratulations to the Prime Minister for adding three more generals to his army."
"Yes, I never thought that the three sons of General Li of Chentangguan were all nephews of the Prime Minister."
"The Prime Minister is a master of calculation."
"General Yang is mighty."
Inside the Xiqi camp, all the generals were flattering with smiles on their faces, saying that this was a great victory.
Jiang Ziya also had a smile on his face and nodded frequently. There was no mistake this time and it was a success.
He had always been worried that Huang Feihu would turn against him, so he had been on guard, but he never thought it would go so smoothly.
After thinking about this, Jiang Ziya shook his head secretly. He was still too suspicious. Outsiders did need to be more suspicious, but Nezha, Jinzha and Muzha were all his own people.
There is no doubt about this.
Inside the big tent, King Wu Jifa, who was sitting on one side, had a smile on his face, but there was a chill in his heart.
Because he found a problem!
Yang Jian is already the number one general in Xiqi, and now there is the fearless Nezha, as well as Jinzha and Muzha.
These three people are all strong. If they continue like this, won’t they undermine him?
These are all disciples of the Chan sect.
Ji Fa became more and more fearful, but he felt aggrieved and helpless. He could only pray that these Qi-refining masters were not like Jiang Ziya who came to the human world to seek wealth and fame.
"Uncle Jiang, you are too timid. Why did you only allow Brother Yang Jian to lead an army of 80,000 last night? If an army of 200,000 had been deployed, Huang Feihu would probably be your prisoner by now."
Nezha said this arrogantly. Yang Jian frowned and tried to persuade him, but Jiang Ziya smiled and waved his hands after hearing it.
"It's okay, Nezha is a child and doesn't mind what he says."
Nezha has this kind of personality. The more arrogant a person is, the more he likes him.
When Nezha saw that Jiang Ziya said nothing, he looked at the other generals of Xiqi with disdain and snorted contemptuously:
"What a bunch of rubbish! If there were one or two of you with good skills last night, you could have helped Brother Yang Jian to completely defeat the Yin Shang camp."
Wow, Nezha is really bold to say that.
He came up and started to be arrogant and confront people. For a moment, all the mortal generals in Xiqi felt aggrieved, but they couldn't say anything.
Although Jiang Ziya frowned slightly, when he thought of Nezha's character, he could only sigh helplessly.
After Senior Brother Taiyi got into trouble, no one could take care of Nezha. And family members only know their own business.
He knew his own worth clearly. Even though Nezha and the others were respectful to him, that was all because of his status and the fact that he was the one who presided over the Conferred God Ceremony.
In terms of strength, he is still far behind.
And there is no need to care about Nezha. After all, the immortals who are high above will naturally look down on mortals who are like ants.
"By the way, Uncle Jiang, Shen Gongbao was not in the camp last night. Is he planning something in secret?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Yang Jian frowned and started talking about business.
Everyone frowned. You know, Shen Gongbao was the imperial teacher of the Shang Dynasty. He did not show up in the battle last night.
This is completely unreasonable.
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya frowned and everyone in the tent looked at Nezha and others.
When Nezha saw this, he looked proud and waved his hand nonchalantly:
"What did I think it was? It turned out to be Shen Gongbao."
Nezha's arrogance made many people frown, but Jin Zha stood up appropriately, held his younger brother, bowed to everyone with a smile on his face, and expressed his apology.
"Everyone, I heard from my father before that Shen Gongbao asked some Taoist friends to help him, saying that he wanted to defeat Uncle Jiang's army in one battle."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
"I see."
Jiang Ziya nodded secretly, this was indeed in line with Shen Gongbao's character.
"Let's not worry about who Shen Gongbao can invite for now. Let's hold a celebration banquet today."
Jiang Ziya laughed heartily, and this battle restored the morale of the Xiqi soldiers.
The Xiqi camp was very lively, but the Yin Shang camp was a bit miserable.
"General, the casualties last night were not that great, but our food and supplies in the rear were almost completely burned."
"How hateful! Li Jing and his son actually betrayed the king."
"damn it!"
Inside the big tent, all the generals were filled with anger. This defeat was too unfair. No one had expected that Li Jing and his four sons would actually rebel.
Huang Feihu's face was also full of frustration and anger.
"Don't worry, everyone. There is a grain transport team arriving at Sishui Pass this afternoon. The most important thing now is to stabilize the defense in Yanshan."
At this moment, Shen Gongbao's laughter suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Haha, General Huang, let's see who I have invited."
When Huang Feihu heard the voice, he immediately smiled.
"It's the Imperial Master who has returned."
There was only a burst of exclamations heard in the military camp. The moment the commander's tent was opened, all the generals who came out showed expressions of shock.
Although they did not know the four people behind Shen Gongbao, they knew they were reinforcements.
When Shen Gongbao came back, he naturally saw the tragic situation in the Shang Dynasty camp. However, he narrowed his eyes, pinched his beard, pointed at the four people behind him and laughed at everyone.
"Everyone, I just happened to meet four Taoist friends from Jiulong Island, Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian, and Li Xingba, in the West Sea."
The demon king wore a straight scarf, a water-repellent suit, and his face was like a full moon.
Yang Sen wore a lotus seed headband, a topknot-like hairstyle, a black suit, a face like the bottom of a pot, a beard like cinnabar, and two yellow eyebrows.
Gao Youqian wore two fox buns and a bright red suit. His face was as blue as indigo, his hair was like cinnabar, and he had fangs on his upper and lower bodies.
Li Xingba wore a golden fishtail crown, a light yellow suit, a face as red as a jujube, and a long beard.
Each of the four men was about fifteen or sixteen feet tall, and the generals who saw them exclaimed in amazement, because it was obvious that these four men were not ordinary people.
When these four overseas Taoist friends showed up, all the soldiers in the barracks exclaimed in amazement. Zhang Guifang couldn't help but excitedly said after listening to Shen Gongbao's introduction:
"So it's four fellow Taoists. Come on, please come and invite us."
After all, Zhang Guifang is also a disciple of Jiejiao. Although there are many disciples of Jiejiao and they don’t know each other, they all come to help this time and can be considered as their own.
Huang Feihu laughed and waved his hands:
"Well, Jiang Ziya attacked our army last night. If Li Jing and his son hadn't rebelled, we wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat. Today, the four immortals invited by Taoist Fellow Shen Gongbao will definitely destroy Jiang Ziya's prestige."
He extended his hand to signal the four Taoist friends to take their seats, and at the same time he turned his head to look at the personal soldier Huang Feihu outside the tent and shouted with a smile on his face:
"Hurry up and prepare a banquet. I will welcome the four Taoist priests."
Inside the commander's tent, Shen Gongbao was there, and the two sides were having a great conversation like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. For a while, the Four Saints of Kowloon Island were having a great conversation with Huang Feihu and others.
Especially when Huang Feihu talked about being ambushed by Xiqi last night and Nezha injuring people with the Qiankun Circle, Wang Mo laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, General Huang. If you chew this golden pill and apply it on your body, you will be cured immediately."
The demon king took out a golden elixir from the gourd. Huang Feihu smiled gratefully when he saw it and nodded secretly in his heart.
He is truly worthy of being called a master of Jiejiao.
"Haha, with the help of the four Taoist priests, it will be easy to defeat Xiqi after the reinforcements from our Great Shang arrive."
Now that they had just suffered a defeat, the army's morale was low. Huang Feihu was planning to wait for reinforcements to arrive from the rear before launching a counterattack. However, he never expected that the Four Saints of Kowloon Island would look at each other and burst into laughter after hearing this.
Under Huang Feihu's puzzled gaze, Wang Mo waved his hand and chuckled:
"I think that although the general has just been defeated, Xiqi is not a cause for concern."
As Huang Feihu looked puzzled, Shen Gongbao laughed and bowed to the Four Saints of Jiulong Island, saying:
"Haha, my four Taoist friends, quickly tell us your plans to defeat the enemy."
Shen Gongbao seemed to know it from his mysterious and confident smile, and the generals in the tent also looked curious.
Wang Mo laughed and shook his head:
"General, you may not know that although the four of us are not very skilled in Taoism, our mounts are rare beasts. When a warhorse sees them, its bones and tendons become weak and it cannot stand. When the two armies engage in battle, do you think we can defeat the enemy?"
How could Huang Feihu not understand what was said? He stood up excitedly and exclaimed. You know, the most powerful horse in the battle between the two armies is this warhorse. But suddenly he thought of something and said worriedly:
"You have an extraordinary beast, my friend, but our army also has many war horses."
Suddenly, Huang Feihu thought that if he could make the enemy's horses numb, then the same could be true for them.
Even though they were prepared, they had just suffered a defeat and their morale was not very high, the odds were fifty-fifty.
"Haha, don't worry, General Huang. On the battlefield, just stick this talisman on the saddle of our army's horses, and they will not be affected by our strange beasts. Defeat Jiang Ziya first, and then you can report to the King of Shang."
Shen Gongbao even smiled and said:
"Yes, let's defeat Jiang Ziya first, and then wait for reinforcements with a victorious army. This will save our face."
It must be said that this made sense. Huang Feihu couldn't help but ponder it secretly, then he smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, let me prepare the troops for three days, and then we will go out to fight and meet Xiqi Jiang Ziya again."
Shen Gongbao also showed a satisfied smile. He really wanted to see Jiang Ziya being humiliated.
At this time, Emperor Xin was secretly watching everything in the camp.
Especially after the arrival of the Four Saints of Jiulong Cave, Emperor Xin narrowed his eyes even more.
"In this case, it is time to send a few more Golden Immortals to the Conferred God List. After all, this opportunity cannot be missed." (End of this chapter)
