The 100,000 troops of the Song State arrived ten miles outside Jiangyuan City "as promised". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Jiang Yuancheng immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

In the camp of the Song army, there was a person sitting in the tent, with a golden helmet and gold armor, a yellow robe, a serious face, and no smile. There are two tiger generals standing behind them, namely General Zhang Qi and General Zhang Shouyi, both of whom are also silver helmets and silver armor, which are very majestic.

Zhao Zhun set up camp and immediately gathered the generals to make the final war mobilization.

Seeing the generals in the tent, Zhao Zhun stood up and said loudly: "Generals. The commander commanded a thousand armies, conquered the Han Kingdom in the north, and destroyed the party in the west. Ordered by the emperor to cut down Shu and unify the battle of China, it was in one fell swoop. If the Shu Kingdom is destroyed, the Southern Tang Dynasty will surrender without attacking! ”

"General Zhao is wise!" The generals shouted.

Zhao Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

For this battle, find out who thinks you are full of confidence. After more than ten years of fighting in the south and the north, he made great achievements, and it was only a matter of time before he wanted to capture Shu. In his opinion, the most perfect way to win is to take the entire territory of Shu without blood.

Zhao Zhun was stationed ten miles away from Jiangyuan City, and he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but sent Zhang Shouyi to persuade Qi Yuanzhen to surrender and Zhang Qi to persuade Qingyunzhai to surrender.

Needless to say, he is the Taishou of Jiangyuan City. If the city can be surrendered automatically, the time for cutting down Shu can be greatly shortened. And Qingyunzhai is a force that can completely influence the situation of the battle, if the bandits of Qingyunzhai surrender to the Song State, they can be attacked from east to west. One of the two parties defected to the Song State, which was greatly beneficial to Zhao Zhun.

Just as Zhao Zhun had just sent two generals to observe the topographical map, the soldiers outside the tent reported inside.

"Report! Commander, there is an old man who claims to be a spiritual fountain master outside the camp gate asking to see him! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Zhun straightened up and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with long gray hair and a beard walked in. The old man was tall and slender, dressed in a navy blue coat and holding a long sword in his hand. What does not match his identity as an old man is the murderous aura between his eyebrows.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, had an affair with the Jianghu sect, and the Lingyuan Quanshi was his mentor. And it was this spiritual source master of Qingshuimen who planned Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny plan and assisted him in killing more than a dozen court officials. As a condition, soon after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he sent Zhao Zhun to lead a large army to attack Shu. Lingyuan Quanshi hoped to take advantage of the war and use the destruction of the country as a threat to force the emperor of Shu to take the initiative to hand over the "Jianhua Benji". This pair of masters and apprentices, in Zhao Zhun's view, are veritable big conspirators. Especially for the ruthlessness of the Spirit Source Master, he was both disgusted and afraid.

Zhao Zhun saw the Lingyuan Quanshi walk into the big tent, hurriedly greeted him, and gave a deep salute: "The Quanshi is above, the junior Zhao Zhun will meet the Quanshi!" ”

The Spirit Source Master smiled and supported Zhao Zhun and said, "Haha! Zhao Dashuai, don't be polite, just call me a senior. Please! As he spoke, the Spirit Source Master pointed to the handsome position, and he sat down on the guest seat.

Zhao Zhun made progress and sat in the handsome position.

The Spirit Source Master put the long sword on the table, shook his sleeves and said, "It's been more than ten days since the big commander set out on the expedition, why is he marching so slowly?" ”

Zhao Zhun was shocked in his heart: "Could it be that Your Majesty is blaming me?" So, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Quan, that's ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the Spirit Source Master hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Dashuai, sit down!" Don't be afraid, it's not that Your Majesty asks, but that the old man feels that the soldiers are fast, why is the army already under the city, but it has not been attacked? ”

It doesn't seem appropriate to reveal military information with people who don't have a job. But because of the current relationship between this Spirit Source Master and the emperor, it is not good to hide anything. If he was concealed, the emperor would blame him, and he would be the one who suffered.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zhun decided to tell him about his strategic decision: "Senior, the last general has already sent two generals to lobby the Taishou of Jiangyuan City and the owner of Qingyun Village, hoping that they can surrender as soon as possible. In this way, we will be able to take the city without bloodshed. We'll get a response later today. If the two of them do not surrender, two days later, the last general will launch a general attack on Jiangyuan City. ”

The Spirit Source Master nodded and said, "Your Majesty really didn't see the wrong person, Dashuai is really a pillar of talent!" Saying that, he paused, "I wonder if the marshal still needs some helpers to assist the marshal?" ”

Zhao Zhun understood that the Spirit Source Master wanted to place some eyeliner around him to keep an eye on his every move. With his status, he simply had no way to refuse.

"Master Quan, the last general is indeed suffering from the lack of good generals. I don't know who the spring master is? ”

"Haha!" The Spirit Source Master smiled, "In order to ensure that this battle is foolproof, the old man has brought a few warriors to the commander. So saying, he shouted from outside the tent, "Come in, all good men!" ”

Zhao Zhun's gaze turned to the door of the big tent. I saw two men and a woman walking in from outside the tent.

"Who are these three?" Zhao Zhun stood up and glanced at the Spirit Source Master.

"Dashuai, Situ Sheng, the great disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley of the Grass People." Said the young man standing on the far left.

Situ Sheng has a handsome face and skin like jade. Wearing a golden crown on his head, wearing golden boots, holding a golden folding fan in his hand, he swayed when he walked, which was very eye-catching. It is enough to see that he must be a very high-profile and confident person.

"Dashuai, Caomin Hanshengtang Li Chenghan." The middle-aged man standing in the middle said, bowing deeply.

"Party etiquette?" Zhao Zhun thought in his heart. He has fought with the party members and understands the etiquette of the party members.

Li Chenghan does have a pure party bloodline, and grew up in the grassland. He came to the Central Plains with his father, learned Han culture, and founded Hanshengtang. Nowadays, it is also well-known in the rivers and lakes.

"Dashuai, grass people Yu Zhengmei." The young woman standing on the far right said.

Yu Zhengmei was wearing a plain dress, which was very low-key compared with Situ Sheng's "splendid" costume, and even gave people a feeling of hard life.

Yu Zhengmei ranked third among the Seven Holy Daughters of Nanxun, and was sold into the Qinglou by her father when she was young, and was later killed by her lover and suffered a lawsuit in the government. Fortunately, the eldest sister of the Seven Holy Maidens, Yan Liangjie, came to the rescue and taught her martial arts. Since then, she has stopped getting any meat, and has been plain every day, with a pure heart and few desires.

When the three of them entered the tent, Zhao Zhun felt a murderous aura rushing to his face, and this aura was even stronger than the battlefield after the war. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "Each of these three people has a murderous aura, I'm afraid it's not a good kind." With these three people, the Spirit Source Master didn't seem to be a good person. I'm afraid these four people will be bad for Your Majesty! Thinking of this, Zhao Zhun gasped.

After all, now is not the time to take a stand. Zhao Zhun calculated that one day in the future, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and His Majesty the Emperor, these four people must be eradicated.

"Come on, come on!" Zhao Zhun stood up and beckoned the three of them to sit down, "Three heroes are coming from afar, sit down quickly!" ”

After a few people sat down, Zhao Zhun said, "Master Lingyuan has thought it through, let you come and help me." To tell the truth, I have already sent two Yuan generals to fight against Qi Yuanzhen and Long Jiu, the owner of Qingyun Village. As long as one of the two parties is sincere, our journey will be much smoother......"

"Hey! Handsome! Li Chenghan didn't wait for him to finish, then interrupted with a disdainful face, and said: "Just now, the three of us are outside the tent, and we have already heard the strategy of the big marshal. In my opinion, why bother? With this axe in my hand, what kind of bird is too guarded to cut him to death? As he spoke, Li Chenghan swept the two big axes in his hand.

Situ Sheng replied slowly: "Barbaric, it's really barbaric!" ”

Li Chenghan squinted at him and said, "Boy! Do you know the origin of these two big axes in my hands, grandpa? ”

Situ Sheng pretended to yawn and said, "I'm not interested in knowing the broken axe in your hand. The marshal was talking, and you rudely interrupted. Do you understand etiquette? ”

"Humph!" Li Chenghan shouted, "You kid chirped crookedly along the way, do you have an opinion on me?" As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the tent, "Come, come, come!" If you're not convinced, let's make a comparison! ”

Situ Sheng glanced at him, unfolded the folding fan and shook it and said, "I don't have an opinion on anyone, I just don't look down on rude people!" ”

Li Chenghan walked a few steps quickly in front of him and yelled, "Damn, who do you say is rude?" ”

Yu Zhengmei sat beside her, not saying a word, not even raising her eyelids. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes, glanced at Li Chenghan, and said, "Two heroes, take away the Jianghu Qi on your body." This is the barracks, and the commander is the commander. Shouting in front of the chief, what kind of system is it? ”

Seeing Zhao Zhun's displeasure, the Spirit Source Spring Master hurriedly explained, "Okay! Everyone is working for the Great Song Dynasty, so let's say less! ”

When Li Chenghan saw that Master Lingyuan had spoken, he no longer had anything to do with Situ Sheng, strode to the front of the handsome case, and said with a deep salute: "Dashuai, the grass people are used to being idle and don't know any etiquette. If you are offended, please forgive me! However, if the commander's counter-strategy fails, I will kill the bird Taishou tonight. You'll all see! With that, he walked out of the tent with his axe. As he walked, he glanced back at Situ Sheng, and muttered in a low voice, "What a big disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, I'm phew!" ”

Situ Sheng looked at his back and whispered, "Hmph! A stinky skin! ”

The Spirit Source Master waved his hand and said, "Brother Situ Xian, forget it!" Li Chenghan is this short-tempered, and sooner or later he will suffer a loss. Don't provoke him, let him go! ”

Zhao Zhun coughed twice, stood up and said, "Heroes, heroes. Today, we will wait for the replies of Jiangyuan City and Qingyunzhai, and everyone will go back to the tent to rest! As he spoke, he instructed the soldiers on the left and right, "Come here, lead all the heroes back to the tent to rest, and serve them well!" ”

The crowd dispersed, and Zhao Zhun continued to observe the topographical map of the Jiangyuan City area, looking for the deployment of the siege in the future.

Unknowingly, it was approaching evening, and Zhang Qi and Zhang Shouyi returned one after another.

The lights in the big tent were bright, and Zhang Qi and Zhang Shouyi stood in the tent. Zhao Zhun sent soldiers to summon Lingyuan Quanshi, Situ Sheng and Yu Zhengmei, but Li Chenghan was delayed.

"Okay, let's not wait for Li Chenghan first." Zhao Zhun said, "Zhang Qi and Zhang Shouyi, two generals, let's report the results to everyone!" ”

Zhang Qi and Zhang Shouyi looked at each other, and Zhang Qi arched his hand and said, "Commander, warriors." The last general was ashamed and didn't say anything about Long Jiu, but made him almost kill him. ”

Zhang Shouyi arched his hand and said: "Handsome, heroes. The general's trip was also very unfavorable. Although Qi Yuanzhen received the last general very well, he did not agree to the marshal's request. And, he said...... He will fight to the death with the commander under the city. ”

Long before the arrival of the Spirit Source Spring Master, Zhang Qi and Zhang Shouyi had already reported to him, so Zhao Zhun did not say anything.

The Spirit Source Spring Master twisted his white beard and said with a smile: "It seems that the handsome man can only take it hard!" Your method of recruiting security won't work! ”

Zhao Zhun sighed, stood up and paced in the tent: "Master Quan, Ben Shuai really wants to take Shu without blood. Do you know why? ”

The Spirit Source Master stretched out his thumb and said, "The commander must be sympathetic to the people's strength, and he doesn't want to hurt the lives of the people and soldiers!" ”

"Definitely. Master Quan, I can't hide it. In order to take a city and a place, Ben Shuai will not hesitate to lose thousands of troops and horses. When the party was destroyed, Ben Shuai instructed the soldiers to slaughter the city three times, and Ben Shuai didn't even blink an eye! ”

"That'...... I don't understand, why is the handsome man so gentle this time? ”

Zhao Zhun pointed to the map behind him and said: "Shudi, the country is rich and the people are rich, and the economy is prosperous. If Shu land is taken, it can provide all the military supplies needed by His Majesty to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, and naturally it cannot be forcibly taken like conquering the party. Jiangyuan City is the gateway to the rear of the Shu Kingdom, and this battle is of great importance. If this battle cannot be outwitted, then the other Shu Zhou counties will swear to resist to the death. At that time, Shu will be in ruins, and the economy will be sluggish, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty's unification of China! ”

The Spirit Source Master stretched out his thumb again and said, "The handsome man is far-sighted, the old man admires, admires!" Today's plan, according to the old man's opinion, is only like what Li Chenghan said during the day, the assassination is too guarded. ”

Zhao Zhun nodded and said, "Not bad!" If not, assassinating him is a good way to do it. At that time, the dragons in the city will be leaderless, and it will be easier to get it than now! After speaking, Zhao Zhun frowned again, "It's just that there are a lot of capable people under Qi Yuanzhen, and he himself is also a strong martial artist." Now that the war is imminent, I am afraid that many heroes will surround him. And the assassination is a surprise, and only one success is allowed, which is really even more difficult! ”

Suddenly, Situ Sheng folded the fan and said, "This Li Chenghan, could it be that he has already entered the city and is preparing to assassinate him!" ”

When Zhao Zhun heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "It's broken!" Li Chenghan went to assassinate without authorization, and the possibility of success was extremely small. If you don't succeed once, it will be even more difficult to assassinate again! We must not let him startle the snake! ”

"Someone!" Zhao Zhun hurriedly summoned the soldiers, "Go to Li Chenghan's tent and find him!" ”

After a while, the soldiers came back to report that they had found no trace of Li Chenghan.

"Dashuai!" The Spirit Source Spring Master hurriedly said, "If there are many masters around Taishou, then I'm afraid we will have to enter the city as soon as possible to find Li Chenghan!" With the old man's understanding of him, I'm afraid he will rashly assassinate him tonight! ”

Zhao Zhun looked at Situ Sheng.

Situ Sheng shook his fan and laughed: "This stinky skin bag actually went to die." Then let him go! I don't want to follow him to death like this! After that, he arched his hand and said, "Dashuai!" The grass people will not obey their fate! ”

Zhao Zhun turned his face to look at Yu Zhengmei.

Yu Zhengmei squinted at Situ Sheng, snorted, and said, "Are the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley so greedy for life and afraid of death, and are they as timid as mice?" Don't talk about saving him, even if I kill that Taishou tonight, it will be easy for me! After that, he turned around and left, "Dashuai, wait for my good news!" ”

Seeing this, Situ Sheng thought: "This girl really doesn't know what to do, give me up and go to the limelight alone!" Thinking of this, Xiang Zhao Zhun hugged his fist and said, "The order of the handsome, don't dare to disobey!" I'll come when I go! "Let's go, go with Yu Zhengmei.
