Everyone in Guangping City was busy in an orderly manner. The strong men sharpened their weapons and the craftsmen repaired their armor.
Liu and Yue had already recruited 2,000 ordinary soldiers in Guangping. Recruiting 2,000 soldiers in a small city like Guangping was not a small number. If not for the large number of people who believed in the Road of Peace in Julu, there would definitely not be such an effect.
"My lord, now with the original five hundred strong men, our army has two thousand and five hundred men. If we attack with two thousand and five hundred men, it would be a pity. However, there is only General Yue in the army now, so we cannot divide our forces.”Liu Bowen entered the county government and presented the military aircraft to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan smiled when he heard this. He was naturally confident and immediately replied,"Bowen, don't worry, a warrior will join our army in a few days.”
Liu Bowen paused and was about to speak when he heard the city gate strongman report,""Marshal, Military Advisor, there's a man riding alone outside the city. He claims to be a member of the Peace Order of Bing Province and has come to join the army.”
Zhang Xuan suddenly stood up, his chest filled with excitement. He smiled at Liu Bowen and said,""Bowen, look, we were just talking when he came. Let's go, follow me to welcome this warrior.”
With that, Zhang Xuan took the lead and walked out. Liu Bowen and the messenger followed behind Zhang Xuan.
Liu Bowen thought that Zhang Xuan had information from the Road of Peace, so he did not suspect anything. He only thought that the Road of Peace was well prepared.
At the foot of Guangping City, a person rode over alone. He held a halberd in one hand and a bow in the other. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was dressed in white clothes and armor, and he looked extremely divine.
It was the general of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Li, Xue Rengui, who had the strength of nine bulls, two tigers, and one dragon!
"I am the commander of the Path of Peace, Zhang Xuan, the son of a great teacher.”Zhang Xuan went up to the city wall and saw the appearance of the person. He knew that Xue Rengui had come, but he still pretended not to know and asked.
Xue Rengui paused for a moment, then immediately got off his horse and bowed.
"Xue Li and Xue Rengui of the Peace Road of Bing Province greet the canal marshal.”
"Are you Xue Li from the east of the river?" Zhang Xuan asked.”
"I am," Xue Rengui replied.”
"Quickly open the city gate. This is the disciple of the east of the river. My father once told me about him. He said that he has the strength of nine bulls and two tigers. He is a brave warrior in the world. Pengju, Bowen, follow me down the city to welcome him.”Zhang Xuan finished his performance and immediately ordered his subordinates to open the city gates. He also brought Yue Fei and Liu Bowen down the city wall to welcome Xue Rengui.
After entering the city, a strongman led Xue Rengui's white horse to the stable to feed it.
Zhang Xuan had also arrived in front of him. Xue Rengui immediately bowed,""Xue Li greets the canal commander."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly took a few steps forward and helped Xue Rengui up with both hands."I've long heard of your great name. We finally meet today. Quickly get up and follow me into the city.”
"I can see that the warrior's Qi and blood are restrained and not revealed at all, but his eyes are overflowing with divine light. It's obvious that he has excellent control of his true Qi. It shows that his martial cultivation is very high.”Yue Fei also said at this moment. He was originally a martial arts innate expert. When he saw Xue Rengui, he immediately felt a little excited. He sighed as if he had seen a hero.
Xue Rengui smiled when he heard this. He immediately stabbed the long halberd in his hand to the side and circulated his martial arts zhenqi. In an instant, the true form of a white tiger jumped out of his body. As it jumped, everyone seemed to hear the roar of a fierce tiger.
"Connate Martial Dao, White Tiger True Form! Good cultivation!" Yue Fei couldn't help but exclaim. He had cultivated martial arts for a long time and naturally knew the difficulties of martial arts cultivation. However, this person in front of him was a little younger than him, but he had such cultivation. How could he not be shocked?
Zhang Xuan laughed out loud. I once heard that Ren Gui once ate a dragon, two tigers, and nine oxen in a crack in the ground, so he developed the strength of nine oxen, two tigers, and one dragon. Is that true?”
Xue Rengui's expression turned serious when he heard this, and he said,""I once ate a dragon, two tigers, and nine oxen, but not in the crack in the ground, but in the Mystic Fairy Temple. Li's family was poor since he was young. One day, he went to the Xuan Nu Temple to herd a cow. He smelled a fragrance and entered the temple. There was a dragon, two tigers, and nine oxen on the table. There were 12 noodles in total. He was very hungry at that time, so he ate the 12 noodles together. From then on, he became stronger and stronger.”
Hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn. This experience was unusual. If one was born with divine strength, it could be said that one had a good innate constitution. However, Xue Rengui's strength soared after eating noodles in the temple. He was not ordinary.
The Empyrean Goddess was also a great god. There must be a reason why she had such a fortuitous encounter in her temple.
As everyone was talking, they suddenly saw a wave of undercurrent surging in the moat under Guangping City. A stream of water surged up and in a flash, it was as high as the city wall. It turned into a human figure and shouted," My lord is the River Earl of Zhangshui. Today, someone sent a letter to report that the Taiping bandits have rebelled and attacked the city. My lord is the Zhangshui God conferred by the Great Han Imperial Court. He wants to share the burden of the Great Han Dynasty. Today, he has ordered me to tell you that if the Taiping bandits retreat from Guangping and no longer invade the Zhangshui River basin, he will not treat you as enemies. If you don't retreat, the Zhangshui Navy will stop in an instant. By then, it will be too late for you to regret.”
After the water giant finished speaking, he turned into a splash and fell into the moat, disappearing.
Zhang Xuan was stunned. It was fine if there was a Heavenly God in this world, but there was also a Water God. He couldn't help but look at Liu Bowen.
"River Earl Zhangshui? This guy was actually conferred by the imperial court." Liu Bowen was also stunned when he heard this. Then, he calculated in his heart and found the answer in a moment.
" River Earl Zhangshui wreaked havoc in the area, and the imperial court had not bestowed him with a title before this. I'm afraid that the imperial court is unable to mobilize troops in a short period of time for the uprising of the Path of Peace. That's why we came up with this method.”
Zhang Xuan was a little speechless. He really did not remember anything about the Water God. He immediately asked,"How strong is River Earl Zhangshui?"
Liu Bowen was a Ghost Immortal after all, so he was very familiar with these things. When he heard Zhang Xuan's question, he immediately replied,"" Zhangshui is an ancient river in Jizhou. However, River Earl Zhangshui is cruel and has harmed the people. Since the Pre-Qin Dynasty, no one has offered sacrifices to him. Now that he has been granted the title by the imperial court, there will definitely be no one in Jizhou to offer sacrifices to him. The strength of River Earl Zhangshui is not as strong as before. According to my calculation, he is probably at the peak of Ghost Immortal. However, Zhangshui is vast and has many soldiers under his command. If he wants to go against us, it will be quite troublesome."”
Zhang Xuan heard Liu Bowen's words and was still thinking about it. Xue Rengui knelt down on one knee and asked,""A mere Zhangshui Ghost God, Xue Li didn't do anything when he first arrived. Today, I'm willing to slaughter this evil god and offer it to you!”
