Heavenly Lord Yuanshi returned to Mount Kunlun.
Then, he sent a message to Jiang Ziya and told him to return to normal.
Chaoge, on the other hand…
A letter entered the Grand Preceptor Manor.
Wen Zhong opened it and saw that it was the military report of the Western Expedition Army's defeat.
"How did this happen?"
He saw that the four Taoist masters of Nine Dragons Island had all been killed.
Zhang Guifang committed suicide.
Feng Lin died in battle.
The 100,000 Shang soldiers either died or surrendered.
"Fellow Daoists, didn't you give me a brocade bag before you left? How did this happen?"
Wen Zhong was very sad.
After all, he was the one who invited them out of the mountain.
Now that you've suffered a calamity, I naturally blame myself.
"The four of them are headstrong and didn't act according to my brocade bag, so they naturally can't escape this calamity!”
At this moment, Xuan Ziqing's clone appeared.
"Exalted Immortal…"
When Wen Zhong saw this, he went forward and bowed.
"This is destiny. Although it can't be violated, if you follow my brocade bag, you might still be able to escape death! But they are too arrogant..."
Xuan Ziqing said as he helped Wen Zhong up.
"Then what should we do next?"
Wen Zhong asked.
"We can ask Lu Xiong to bring his troops there. Let him bring enough cotton clothes and quilts. When he arrives, he will act according to my brocade bag and will definitely defeat Xi Qi!”
Xuan Ziqing knew.
If there was no variable like him.
The news that came back was that Zhang Guifang had been defeated and three of the Four Saints had died.
He immediately sent Lu Xiong to provide support.
After that, Lu Xiong heard that Zhang Guifang had been killed, so he stationed his troops in Qishan.
Jiang Ziya used the Taoist skills of Xuanmen to cause a blizzard in the hot weather of July. He also melted the blizzard on the top of the mountain and froze Mount Qi, causing the army of Lu Xiong to be completely wiped out.
But this time, he could use this opportunity to defeat Jiang Ziya and buy some time.
"Don't worry, Exalted Immortal. This time, I'll write this matter into the military order. I don't think they will dare to disobey!”
Wen Zhong believed Xuan Ziqing's words.
Following that, the drums were beaten to gather the generals.
"Zhang Guifang's Western Expedition Army has been completely annihilated. Today, this Grand Preceptor will appoint Lu Xiong as the Western Expedition General and lead 50,000 elite soldiers to Xi Qi!”
Wen Zhong said.
"I accept your orders!"
Although Lu Xiong was old, he had the heart to serve his country, so he quickly came out to receive the order.
"General Lu, pick two deputy generals from the generals, bring your cotton clothes and quilts, and set off immediately!”
Grand Preceptor Wen instructed.
However, when Lu Xiong heard this, he was slightly puzzled.
"Grand Preceptor, it's July now, and the heat is unbearable. Why do you need to bring cotton clothes and quilts?”
Lu Xiong wasn't the only one who had doubts.
The others were also puzzled.
Logically speaking, in this hot weather, there was no need for cotton clothes and quilts.
Moreover, it was a burden to bring these things along.
"Old General Lu, there's no need to ask. This is an order! Moreover, I have a brocade bag with me. When you arrive, do everything according to the brocade bag!”
"Otherwise, our army will be defeated!"
Grand Preceptor Wen said seriously.
When Lu Xiong and the others heard this, even if they had thousands of questions in their hearts, they could only accept it.
Because this was a military order.
Soon after.
Lu Xiong led 50,000 troops to Xi Qi City.
When they arrived at Xiqi Mountain, he immediately ordered the army to set up camp in the dense forest.
After all, the forest was the only place that was cooler in this hot weather.
When everything was ready.
The two deputies entered the commander's tent.
"Old General Lu, what kind of military order is the Grand Preceptor giving us? It's such hot weather, yet he wants us to bring so many cotton coats and quilts!”
A deputy general said. His name was Song Yao.
"That's right. Fifty thousand sets of cotton clothes and quilts will not only affect the speed of our army, but they will also be a burden when we fight!”
The other deputy general also complained.
Now that they had set up camp, they needed a few more barracks to accommodate these things.
"Alright, the words of the Grand Preceptor must have a deeper meaning. Moreover, this is a military order, how can we disobey?”
Lu Xiong glanced at them and took out a brocade bag.
Because Grand Preceptor Wen had instructed him to take out the brocade bag and act according to the instructions inside after setting up camp.
"Old General Lu, what is inside?”
Song Yao asked.
"A talisman. The Grand Preceptor asked me to stick this talisman on the commander's tent. It can block water within a radius of ten miles.”
Lu Xiong said. It was obvious that this was a water-proof talisman.
Xuan Ziqing knew that Jiang Ziya would definitely melt the snow on the mountain top, flood the Shang army camp, and then freeze it.
If he had a water-proof talisman to avoid the water current, what would he use to freeze it?
"Old General Lu, this mountain is so hot that there isn't even a drop of water. The Grand Preceptor actually wants us to avoid the water? This is too…"
"Old General Lu, is the Grand Preceptor playing with us?”
The two deputies were extremely dissatisfied.
On such a hot day, not only did he ask them to bring so many cotton-padded clothes and quilts, he even gave them a water-proof talisman?
"Alright, there's no need to complain. According to the Grand Preceptor's instructions, distribute the cotton clothes and quilts to every soldier!”
Lu Xiong waved his hand and instructed.
"What? Are we really going to distribute it?"
The two deputies were dumbfounded.
"Nonsense, hurry up and go!"
After Lu Xiong finished speaking, he took out the talisman and hung it on his tent.
Soon after.
The Shang army camp began to distribute cotton clothes and quilts.
The 50,000 soldiers were baffled.
Even though he had received them, he stuffed them directly under the bed. After all, it was such a hot day, so he didn't need them.
At the same time!
When Jiang Ziya in Xiqi City learned that Lu Xiong's army was stationed on Mount Qi, he ordered Wu Ji and Nangong Shi to lead five thousand elite soldiers to the top of Mount Qi to set up camp.
At the same time, he also brought enough cotton clothes, blankets, and bamboo hats.
They were also baffled by this action.
However, Jiang Ziya only asked them to follow his orders.
After that, he asked people to dig a mound so that he could open the altar and do the ritual.
"Prime Minister, the earth platform has been built!”
Someone reported.
" Yes!" Jiang Ziya nodded." Tell Wuji and Nangong Shi to get ready!"”
That night.
Jiang Ziya's Taoist skills covered the sky with dark clouds.
Then, the north wind whistled and a chill came.
This caused all the soldiers in the Shang army camp to be excited.
"So comfortable!"
After all, it was a hot summer day. Now that there was a cool breeze, he could have a good sleep.
However…
Not long after, the cold wind became colder and colder.
Snowflakes even floated in the sky.
"Snow in July? How did this happen?"
Song Yao and the other deputy quickly came to Lu Xiong's tent.
"Generals, it seems that the Grand Preceptor knew that there would be heavy snow, so he asked us to bring enough cotton clothes and quilts! What divine divination!"
Lu Xiong sighed with emotion! Now he finally understood why Wen Zhong had given such an order!
Immediately, the soldiers couldn't stand the cold.
She took out the cotton coat from under the bed and put it on.
He also admired Lu Xiong's foresight!
As for Xi Qi.
Seeing such heavy snow and cold weather, Wu Ji, Nangong Shi, and the others were excited.
Because the Shang army came to Xi Qi to fight, they all wore unlined clothes.
It was snowing in July, and they would definitely freeze to death if they didn't have cotton-padded clothes!
