Chapter 88: Annihilation
The news of the siege of Huashan by the Manchu army soon spread in the rivers and lakes.
The Huashan faction is now the first pillar of the righteous path in the rivers and lakes, and the sword immortal ape Mu Renqing has been famous all over the world for decades. He is recognized as the number one swordsman in the world.
After knowing the news, those who thought they were not weak went to Huashan, wanting to kill all the Tartar soldiers and relieve the pressure on Huashan.
However, these people's actions are just scratching their boots and have little effect.
At first, the Manchu soldiers and horses were caught off guard and suffered some losses, but after reacting, these good hands in the rivers and lakes who attacked were surrounded and annihilated by the cavalry.
Subsequently, the Manchu army sent troops to attack the mountain.
Huashan sent many masters to resist. Half a day after the battle, they were finally outnumbered and Huashan was destroyed!
It is said that the Divine Sword Immortal Ape Mu Renqing killed more than 200 Tartar soldiers before he died with all his strength, and even killed two Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing, truly showing the demeanor of the world's number one swordsman.
It's a pity that Mu Renqing is old after all, his physical and internal strength are exhausted, and he runs out of oil and dies.
When he died, even the fierce and ferocious Tartar soldiers were shocked by his swordsmanship and did not dare to step forward.
In addition to Mu Renqing, Huang Zhen, the eldest disciple of the Huashan faction, and many disciples of the Huashan faction were chased and killed by the Manchu cavalry when they broke through the siege, and suffered heavy casualties.
Huang Zhen was seriously injured and died, and only a few Huashan disciples were rescued by Yuan Chengzhi, who suddenly appeared.
When Feng Yuan received this news, it was already February of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen.
"It's a pity that Mu Renqing died!"
Seeing the information sent, Feng Yuan sighed in his heart.
Originally, he thought that the Huashan faction was his enemy, so he always regarded Mu Renqing as an imaginary enemy.
Now he has completed the refining of the lungs in the five internal organs, and his strength has increased again, and he is already worthy of the name of the world's first.
As a result, he didn't fight with Mu Renqing, the first person in the world before yesterday, and I have to say that I have some regrets.
According to Mu Renqing's martial arts, if he wanted to break through, he relied on the steepness of Huashan and could easily escape the pursuit of the Tartar soldiers with his skills, but he never broke through and left, and chose to live and die with Huashan.
Feng Yuan can also understand the other party's thoughts.
As the head of the Huashan faction, he has been a top master in the rivers and lakes for decades. If Mu Renqing fled in embarrassment and caused the sect to be destroyed, then his reputation for the rest of his life would be ruined.
For a person like Mu Renqing who values his sect and dignity more than his life, it is better to kill him than to let him escape.
In addition, the Huashan faction also has Gui Xinshu and Yuan Chengzhi to inherit the mantle, and there are successors to Huashan, and Mu Renqing has no worries.
"Your Highness, now Yuan Chengzhi took a few disciples of the Huashan Sect, chased by the Tartars, and fled all the way to Henan, and then suddenly disappeared...... There is also Guixinshu in the south of the Yangtze River, after knowing the news of Huashan, he also crossed the river to Henan!"
Zhao Heng was constantly reporting the news on the rivers and lakes beside him.
"Hehe, my own master has been destroyed, no wonder Gui Xin Shu will be in a hurry!"
Feng Yuan smiled, he had an agreement with Gui Xinshu that the other party would not set foot in Jiangbei within three years, and he would have to do three things for him.
The first thing he asked Gui Xinshu to do was to kill Zhao Zhilong and a few others.
Some time ago, Feng Yuan asked Zhao Heng to contact the other party and asked him to do the second thing, to assassinate Zuo Liangyu who was entrenched in the Anqing area.
Now that the Manchu army is about to go south, Zuo Liangyu, a pig teammate, can be eradicated as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the critical time comes, this kind of person will definitely make some moths that can't end.
Before Gui Xinshu broke his oath and went to Jiangbei, he had successfully killed Zuo Liangyu in Anqing City. Now hundreds of thousands of left soldiers are in chaos and scattered.
Many of them, the general soldiers and generals, before Zuo Liangyu was assassinated, contacted the lobbyists sent by Gu Rujin.
Feng Yuan gave each of these people 50,000 taels of silver, and promised that after attaching to the Zhou Palace, he would reorganize the army and reuse them.
This is a strategy that Feng Yuan came up with based on someone's silver dollar tactics in later generations.
Anyway, he has a lot of gold and silver in his hands, and he spends a part of it to collect more than 100,000 soldiers, and he benefits without spending it.
After these people bring their troops over, those who have the ability will be reused as promised.
Those generals who have a rebellious personality and still want to support their own troops have the means to deal with them. Plunder a few and you can get back the money you spent.
Now, a third of the generals of the Left Army are heading towards Huai'an Mansion with their subordinates.
The other two-thirds were either taken by Gao Jie and Huang Degong to take the opportunity to co-opt, or were co-opted by officials in the Jinling court.
Gui Xin Shu hit with one blow, which brought great benefits to Feng Yuan.
However, this kind of assassination method can be one or the other.
Nowadays, many officials in Jinling, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others, including the princes and generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, have begun to strictly protect their own safety. Recruit the masters of the rivers and lakes to act as guards.
In this case, even with Gui Xinshu's martial arts, he didn't have much certainty about assassinating a general official of Zuo Liangyu's level.
"Zhao Heng, you send someone to check and see where Yuan Chengzhi and Gui Xinshu are hiding, and if they find it, take them to Huai'an!"
"The martial arts of the Huashan faction, we can't let them be lost!"
After reading the information, Feng Yuan casually ordered.
Before they got the many martial arts of the Huashan faction, Yuan Chengzhi and Gui Xinshu couldn't die!
Moreover, the Huashan faction is now suffering from the hatred of annihilation, and it is no longer the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Whether it is Yuan Chengzhi or Gui Xinshu, as long as Feng Yuan expresses his willingness to help them take revenge, these two top masters will definitely serve under Feng Yuan.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Knowing what Feng Yuan meant, Zhao Heng hurriedly responded.
He immediately withdrew from the hall and began to mobilize those spies from the original Evil Tiger Gou Cottage, and began to pay close attention to the news of Yuan Chengzhi and others.
After Zhao Heng left, Feng Yuan stood up and walked to the window.
The cold breeze outside is faint, the leaves have begun to sprout, quite the charm of the south of the Yangtze River in the garden, the creek is murmuring, the verandah is uneven, the rockery is strange, there is both a rich atmosphere, and there is an elegant atmosphere.
"It's been almost two years since I came to this world!"
Feng Yuan secretly calculated that he came to this world for two purposes, one was to enhance his own strength and bless the strength of this body to the main body.
Another purpose is to improve one's luck.
Now it seems that he has accomplished the first purpose, and the second is also half accomplished.
He is now in charge of the two Huai powers, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and after annexing some of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses, his power is even stronger, and he can even overpower the court of Jinling.
Feng Yuan's words can affect millions of people in Lianghuai.
Occupy its place and nourish its qi. When he was in power, his qi was also rising.
If he returns to the world of gods at this time, he will be able to become a human-level warrior of the Xuangong Triple overnight.
However, as the situation is today, it is developing according to his expectations.
As long as the plan is successful, he can double his gains. I'm going to have to stay in this world for a while longer.
