In the ninth year of Qianyuan, on the fourth day of October, Li Rubi was besieged by Wang Xuanfan and the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou, and he was defeated!
More than half of the 30,000 troops were killed or injured, and they fled in embarrassment all the way to Jiushan County, their old nest.
On the other hand, Wang Xuanfan has the style of a general, fighting steadily all the way, regaining the lost ground, all the counties follow suit, even the original Jiushan Army surrendered, and even one of them was a commander! By the middle of the month, most of the counties had been recaptured, and the army surrounded Jiushan County like an iron barrel.
Within the city of Jiushan County.
At this time, it was a depressed scene, restaurants, teahouses, various shops, and even small people in Shengdou closed their doors one after another, with a sense of imminent disaster.
There were also rebellious soldiers, broken soldiers, broken military discipline, and even looting and killing people in the street, venting the fear in their hearts.
"Hey... now it's no different from a bandit..."
Wu Ming was riding a horse, followed by Niu Yong and He Zihai, and suddenly he sighed.
"Help!"
"let me go!"
In the alley by the side of the road, there was a woman crying for help, which moved Wu Ming's heart, and said to Niu Yong: "Go and see!"
"promise!"
Niu Yong responded and rushed into the alley, only to hear angrily shouting and cursing, and two rebels came out with sabers in their hands, "I'm waiting for General Wei's tooth soldiers..."
"Blind your dog's eyes, my lord, but you are the commander!"
He Zihai immediately cursed, making the two teeth soldiers stop, and fled in desperation.
"Thank you, my lord!"
At this time, Niu Yongcai helped a crying pear blossom with rain, and I saw a pitiful woman come out, and kowtowed in thanks.
"Let's go! I can save you once, but I can't save you twice!"
Wu Ming sighed.
The woman below was stunned, kowtowed heavily, and ran away quickly.
"Why is the Commander General sighing?"
Seeing that Wu Ming's expression was not right, He Zihai couldn't help asking in a low voice.
"you… "
But Wu Ming smiled wryly: "Oh... the general is sighing for the enemy, this Wang Xuanfan not only knows how to lead troops, but also is extremely wise in tactics... Yunshandu commanded envoys to go to the past, reuse them immediately, and let him take charge of a capital , so many promotions, with this move, most of our morale will collapse, and the soldiers will have no courage, drunk and dreaming..."
"Your Excellency, be careful! Be careful!"
He Zihai's face changed immediately, and he looked around again before he let out a sigh.
Wu Ming shook his head.
At first, he ran away first, but no one noticed because the 30,000 army collapsed.
Even afterward, when I went to Jiushan County to do an inventory, I found that the Commander Du and Wei Zheng died in battle, and most of them surrendered. On the contrary, because the strength of his subordinates was still largely intact, he was promoted.
It's just that Li Rubi's luck was bad at this time, the sun was setting on the west mountain, and the luck of the commander of the Nine Mountain Army was not even as good as that of Wei Zheng before!
"And... this backlash is shocking!"
As soon as Wu Ming raised his eyes, he could see the dense doomed air outside him, which gave him a frightening feeling, knowing that if he allowed it to develop, there would be thunder in an instant.
Fortunately, at this time, it was suppressed by a layer of golden light, and it hadn't happened yet.
"Although the two worlds are separated, you can go to the catastrophe, but I still go too deep, and the catastrophe is confused in my luck. Therefore, I still have to make plans early, and it is best to find a way to bear it..."
Thinking this way, when I arrived at the center of the city, I found another general approaching from the opposite side, looking very angry.
"Master Liu! What made you so angry?"
Wu Ming recognized that it was his old superior Liu Jie, the only remaining commander of the old Nine Mountains Army, and hurried forward to salute.
Although the ranks are the same now, it is necessary to pay attention to seniority in the army.
"It's you!"
Liu Jie snorted coldly, but still said: "After the lord's defeat, he retreated into the mansion. Every day he only knows how to enjoy singing and dancing, drinking and having fun, indulging in anesthesia, and being bewitched by that monster, he even wants to become king!"
"Oh? Who is that monster?" Wu Ming's heart moved.
"It's not that Nanshan! Last time when the army was defeated, I proposed to kill this monster, but I didn't expect that this monster didn't know what method it used to confuse the lord, and said that our county has nine mountains. Deep, it is enough to be called king and accomplish great things! Such nonsense, the lord actually believed it, and even ordered someone to organize the ceremony... "
Liu Jie obviously had accumulated anger for a long time, and when he had an opening, he immediately vented it.
And Li Rubi's behavior, no matter where it is placed, must be evaluated as incompetent, insane, and perverse.
"Is Liu Du Commander in front?!"
At this time, a wave of black armor and iron cavalry with swords and bows rushed forward. Wu Ming recognized that this was Li Rubi's pro-army Heishan cavalry.
"it's me?!"
Liu Jie said loudly.
"Very good! My lord has an order! Xin Shan Metropolitan commanded Liu Jie to commit crimes against his superiors and conspire against him. Immediately execute him!"
The cavalier shouted: "Are you still not going to die?"
"No... Impossible... My lord and I..."
Liu Jie's face was pale and he muttered.
"If you still don't believe me, show him the lord's warrant!"
A warrant was thrown away, Liu Jie looked at it and saw that the lord's handwriting, monogram, and seal were all good, but smiled miserably: "My lord... you really want my life?"
His eyes are in a trance, but he thinks of the scene when he and Li Rubi hit it off at first sight, and the king and his ministers met each other.
"Liu Jie, you are already a traitor, why don't you just kill him with your arms tied?"
The surrounding cavalry are all bursting out.
"ha!"
Liu Jie pressed the golden knife on the tiger's head and looked around angrily, with his own majesty, no one dared to look at each other.
"General Liu is the lord's confidant and beloved general, so how could it be so?"
Wu Ming stood up: "You guys wait, wait for me to meet the lord..."
"That's all! That's all!"
At this time, Liu Jie let out a miserable smile: "Since the lord wants my life, let him take it!"
He is known for his bravery, he is a star descended into the world, and he also has military supernatural powers. If he wants to survive, he can kill blood, and he can go all over the world.
But at this time, there was nothing more sorrowful than heartbreak, and he pulled out the tiger-headed golden knife, and shouted: "I, Liu Jie, a good man, how can I die at the hands of you and Xiaoxiao?"
Immediately wiped it on the neck, the big head flew out, and the blood gushed out like a spring.
Wu Ming stared blankly.
It was seen that when this person died, a layer of black air continued to spread around his corpse.
A large part of the luck of the Marshal's Mansion and even the entire county was broken, and it was on the verge of falling, with black and gray qi swarming up.
He knew in his heart that this Liu Jie was born at the right time, a talented person who specially assists Li Rubi.
But now this trip, self-destructing the Great Wall, destroyed the last foundation.
"All commanders are polite!"
These Black Mountain cavalry put Liu Jie's head in a box and saw Wu Ming again.
At this time, Wu Ming was the commander of the capital, and he heard that he had a close relationship with Nanshan Daoist, so he didn't dare to neglect, and went forward to salute.
"slow!"
But Wu Ming shouted: "Are you going to see the commander-in-chief return to his life? I will go too!"
All the way to the Marshal's Mansion, entering the courtyard, there was a melodious voice in my ears.
"Meet the handsome!"
As soon as you enter the room, you can see musicians and bartenders around, and there are several groups of young women in the middle, draped in tulle, revealing their faint skin, dancing around.
"I've killed Liu Jie, good! Very good! The death of this thief is not a pity!"
Li Rubi hugged the beauty in one hand, and held the jug in the other, when he saw Wu Ming, he said happily again: "Wu Ming, come have a drink together!"
Immediately, a woman came forward with a wine glass.
"Thank you, my lord!"
In this situation, it was replaced by a loyal minister and lieutenant, who said that he had to not only not drink, but also directly admonish him.
But Wu Ming had a ulterior motive in his heart, so he drank it all at once, which made Li Rubi very happy.
After talking with him for a few words, Wu Ming secretly opened his spiritual eyes and looked at Li Rubi.
I saw that Li Ru's green energy was flourishing on the wall, although most of the air luck on the top was cut off, but the black and purple energy in the middle was quite active, and a word came to mind: "Back to the light!"
Immediately, he knew that this person's heart was to be called a king, but he was as firm as iron.
"Originally, Li Rubi still has Tanlang's true life in his body, so it's not like this, but success is also dragon spirit, and defeat is also dragon spirit!" But now he is entangled by the dragon energy, lost his mind, even the gods can't save him...'
"See you handsome!"
At this time, another person came in again, it was Nanshan Daoist.
"Oh? The real person is going here, what's the result?"
"Report to the handsome!"
Nanshan real person seems to be full of confidence: "The poor Taoist has been divination for many days, and he has obtained the secret. My lord's great luck is irreversible. This time is the catastrophe of becoming a king. If the lord can come back, he will escape from this catastrophe. At this time, as long as you ascend the throne and become king , then you will be able to respond to the great luck of the dragon veins, and the flying dragon will be in the sky from now on!"
"Ha ha… "
Li Rubi laughed and looked at Wu Ming again: "What did the commander say?"
"The world is in chaos, and the real dragon has come out. I also asked the lord to become the king and establish the system. It is a great fortune!"
Wu Ming saluted heavily and said loudly.
I don't know if Liu Jie survived, and if he heard this, he would die of anger again.
"Okay! Nanshan, you go to choose an auspicious day, and you will receive the title of king yourself, um, let's call it 'King of Nine Mountains'!"
Li Rubi waved his hand, Nanshan Zhenren and Wu Ming left immediately.
After leaving the Marshal's Mansion, the two of them hurried on, and arrived at a deserted place again.
"How? Are you satisfied?"
Master Nanshan laughed: "Although I don't know what your group of people are planning, it seems that you really want this son to become the throne?"
"I'm afraid it's what the real person wants!"
Wu Ming also had a half-smile expression on his face: "Originally, this person rebelled, and he should have implicated the nine clans, but now that he becomes king, it cannot be reversed!"
But it is clear that the ancient rebellion, whether to be called a king, is a very obvious distinction.
The previous Li Rubi just led the Nine Mountains Army Lord himself. If he surrendered now and pleaded guilty, he might die, but his family would be spared from being implicated.
Even if the dragon veins have sufficient luck, if someone in the court operates, maybe I don't have to die.
But now, it is a taboo, no matter how bold Wang Xuanfan is, he will never accept surrender. Not only will he not accept surrender, but he will even kill Li Rubi's nine clans, not one of them!
"Hey... No, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
Immortal Nanshan flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. Seeing this scene, Wu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
