Chapter 6 Relatives Fight Abroad
Shuanglong escaped from Jiujiang, but did not escape the range of the Iron Cavalry, so the evil monk and Yan Ni led the army and horsemen to divide into two routes, one to pursue in the direction of Bafenghan's escape, and the other to chase Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Looking at the information presented by Wei Zheng, Haihu touched his chin and said with a smile on his face: "Finally soaring into the sky, with the record of assassinating Ren Shaoming, Shuanglong will really fade away from the mortal fetus and soar to the Nine Heavens." Now that the two brothers have become brothers, I can't delay here any longer. ”
Haihu smiled, Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, because of getting along for a long time, Wei Zheng has some understanding of Haihu, especially when he sees Haihu's current smile, it is definitely the rhythm of Yin.
"How are the three generals repaired!!"
An inexplicable sentence came out of the Sea Tiger Kou Zhong, and it was naturally Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin who wanted to ask. Yangzhou was defeated that day, and the three of them did not dare to return to Luoyang, so they led 10,000 remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Xingyang, after all, this is the territory of the sea tiger, and several of them are familiar with the road, so they can naturally be taken care of.
The generals of this era cannot be said to be unpatriotic, but if they are killed in the event of victory or defeat, they will also die blindly. What's more, now that Yang Guang and Zhang Xutuo have passed away, they have lost their allegiance. In such a situation, taking refuge in someone who knows them well has become their first choice.
"The three generals have been repairing for a few days, their mental state has recovered, and now they are shouting to avenge the old handsome, especially Na Luo Shixin, who is the personal disciple of the old handsome, and the shouting is the most intense. What's more, many soldiers and horses in Xingyang were originally their old subordinates with the old commander, and many people were moved by this meeting and once again invested in the command of the three of them. ”
Wei Zheng reported one by one: "Lord, Xingyang can't have any problems now, although the three generals are brave, but they must prevent them from supporting their own troops and taking their soldiers and horses against us." What's more, this Yangzhou defeat, in fact, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, and Fu Gongyou took the lead in attacking the city, and a mysterious master secretly helped the three of them, so Zhang Dashuai was surrounded and died. ”
"Is there any trace of the Demon Gate??"
Haihu smiled and said: "Fu Gongyou was originally the junior brother of Anlong of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, because he disagreed with his senior brother and went out of the division, and later he had a similar temper with Du Fuwei, so they worked together to fight the world, and Fu Gongyou's best friend Zuo Youxian is a person who is the true lineage of the ancestor of the Demon Gate, ranking seventh among the eight masters of the Demon Gate, if Lao Shuai is defeated this time without the participation of the Demon Gate, I will not believe it, because Lao Shuai's martial arts are definitely above Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, and the two of them may be able to force them back, but they must not kill Lao Shuai." ”
"The people of the Demon Gate are insidious and vicious, people are unguardable, it is said that they are all people of the three religions and nine streams, the characters inherited during the Six Kingdoms period before the unification of Qin, and later the Western Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought, after the exclusive respect for Confucianism, the hundreds of schools of thought suppressed by Confucian orthodoxy began to be organically combined, with Taoist thought as the backbone, and the primitive Taoism of miscellaneous ink, medicine, witchcraft, and magic began to form."
Although Wei Zheng is not very familiar with the Demon Gate, he can also peek into the history of the past dynasties: "The formation process of the Demon Gate is similar to that of Taoism, so there are many miscellaneous and intersecting places between the two when they were first founded.
The Tao is divided into yin and yang, and people have life and death. The Tao and the Demon are both based on the Dao, but the emphasis is different. Lao Tzu has the saying that heaven and earth are not benevolent and all things are dogs, and there are many such cold words in "Lao Tzu", which shows that Taoism has benevolence and inhumanity, affection and ruthlessness.
However, the unkind and ruthless ideas of Taoism were inherited and carried forward by the Demon Gate. In addition, some sages once verified that the ruthlessness of the Demon Gate stems from Yang Zhu's idea of 'plucking a hair and benefiting the world without doing anything, and knowing that the world does not take a body'. In "Zhuangzi" and "Liezi", there are records of Yang Zhu studying in Laozi, which also shows that the Demon Gate has a deep relationship with Taoism.
It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a prodigy 'Heavenly Demon' Cangxuan because of cynicism, arrogance and extremism, and could not tolerate orthodoxy, so he searched all over the world for the classics, and removed the strange techniques and secret techniques in them, and took them from his own way, and processed them into ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy", which was the beginning of the current Demon Gate. Later, the Demon Gate split, and the ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy" were scattered in the hands of two factions and six daos. ”
Seeing that Haihu was silent in thought, Wei Zheng said again: "My lord, the selfishness of the Demon Gate is stronger than any prince in the world, and the side branches are complicated, and now is not the time to conflict with them. ”
"Of course I understand this, the alliance of the Demon Gate includes the Yin Sect composed of women in the service industry, the Heavenly Pavilion composed of assassins and mercenaries, the Heavenly Lotus Sect representing the merchant class, the remnants of primitive Taoism, the true transmission of the Taoist Ancestor and Lao Junguan, the Captain of the Golden School, the rabbit master who gives joy to men, the madman who is in the external pressure, and the second worker in literature and art, there are countless of them."
Haihu sighed, Wei Zheng said: "Although those people have pitiful, they also have hateful, in the final analysis, they are just for survival, no different from us, but the minister knows that those people are not credible, and now our affairs have not been resolved, how can we set up a great enemy." ”
"It's late."
Haihu's eyes showed a glint and said: "The Iron Riding Club is cooperating with the Yin Kui Sect, Lin Shihong's master is the uncle of Zhu Yuyan, the sect leader of the Yin Kui Sect, known as the Yunyu initiate's Pi Shou Xuan, who has a very high status in the faction, it is rumored that Lin Shihong has been better than the blue, and my two brothers have already succeeded, so we can also be regarded as guilty of the Demon Gate, and it is a matter of time before we meet it." Seeing that Wei Zheng wanted to mention the matter of the three generals again, he said: "The three generals are friends with me in life and death, and it is impossible to oppose me, the reason why they are shouting is that on the one hand, they really want to avenge the old marshal, but on the other hand, they want to lead the troops to fight." After all, if the defeated general wants to regain confidence and establish prestige, he can only recover his prestige by fighting a turnaround battle. ”
"Luoyang has given us a third holy decree, and he keeps urging us to fight against Wagang and Jindi, it seems that Wang Shichong doesn't want us to continue to be calm like this."
Wei Zheng said: "Wang Shichong is scheming, first driving the tiger and fighting the wolf, and then the move is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, reward the soldiers, and annex Xingyang. ”
"So before he can turn the tiger away from the mountain, I will turn against him and tie him to my ship with the three generals. Take Luokoucang as quickly as possible, and crush the Tiger Prison and Yanshi, so as to besiege Luoyang. ”
Haihu said: "Fortunately, my two brothers are still successful, so that Lin Shihong has the strong arm of Ren Shaoming, Li Zitong can attack him with confidence, and Du Fuwei can also develop to the rear without worries." Therefore, the Jianghuai army and Li Zitong can't take care of our young marshal army at the moment, as long as we act quickly enough, we can besiege Luoyang before Du Fuwei and Li Zitong can gather men and horses. As long as we occupy the city of Luoyang, we will be able to free up our hands to clean up the rest of the men. ”
"After continuous conscription in Xingyang, now we have 4,000 cavalry, infantry soldiers plus 10,000 elites brought by the three major generals, a total of 50,000, but only half of these 50,000 people are veterans who have experienced the bloody storms on the battlefield, and the other half are recruits who are stepping up training."
Wei Zheng said: "With such soldiers and horses against the two forces, it is better than the tiger and wolf army that we only know how to smash and rob, and the chance of winning is almost zero." Because the recruits can only defend the city, and the battlefield has to rely on the veterans. ”
"It's okay, you can figure out what the chances are of using our military horses against Zhai Jiao."
Haihu thought for a while and said, "Li Mi doesn't count. ”
"More than fifty percent, Zhai Jiao's soldiers and horses are less than Li Mi, but almost all the generals are on Li Mi's side, and the soldiers are on the same level as us."
Wei Zheng kept thinking in his heart, and said while thinking: "If Li Mi doesn't come to our rear to attack, plan carefully, with the skills of the three generals, there is an eighty percent chance of taking Zhai Jiao." ”
"That's it, take Zhai Jiao first."
Haihu clapped his hand and said: "Li Mi has me to deal with, this young marshal will have to resist him Li Mi's tens of thousands of troops this time, and I will open the gate of Wagangzhai for you, you just have to attack." Of course, if there are surrendered people, don't kill indiscriminately, but you must carefully check that they are really sincere before they can be hired. ”
"This, can the lord do it alone?"
Seeing this sea tiger make a plan, Wei Zheng was a little unconfident and said: "After all, the other party is tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ”
"Definitely confident."
Seeing this sea tiger's firm gaze, Wei Zheng retreated and went to the barracks to discuss the matter of sending troops to the three major generals.
Looking out the window at night, Wei Zhenzhen was dressed in a palace silk robe decorated with pearls, in the jewels, she looked like a fairy, the smile on her face was so bright and radiant, she walked into Haihu's study with a meat bun, and saw that he was dressed neatly in a military uniform, and wore a long sword around his waist, he couldn't help but tremble, and said in surprise: "What, are you going to send troops?" ”
"Well, the military situation is important, and time is running out!"
Haihu grabbed a bun and devoured it and said, "Go find Sister Fu tonight, I must stay with Sister Fu when I am not in the middle of the river." Looking at this sister Zhen who is six or seven years older than herself and about twenty-five years old, standing in front of her in front of her in the pearlescent reflection, she is already a beauty with a peerless appearance, skin is better than snow, and she is like a jade mold, and it is difficult to regain the Zhen's sister-in-law in Yangzhou who wipes fragrant sweat and calls people to buy buns.
"It's so beautiful, my sister is so beautiful!"
Looking at Zhenzhen's current appearance, Haihu took her hand and sat on the stool, facing the fiery red candlelight, and looked carefully at this Zhenjie who had suffered a thousand hardships and beatings for the three of her three and said: "This is our Zhenzhen, who is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, and has a radiant face, it is enough to have Zhenjie pity my Haihu in this life." After that, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and knew that the time for action had come, and it was difficult to delay, so he said: "The three of us will be fine, my sister just wait for us to come back." ”
"Hmm."
The gentle words came out, looking at the back of the sea tiger, Wei Zhenzhen left two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes, but her voice did not fluctuate in the slightest: "Sister will be waiting for you, how long will I wait for you to return safely." ”
Relatives went out to fight, and the family was full of tears.
When will the good news be spread, and the hard work will return.
