Since An Siqing led the army to Zheli Ridge, the soldiers and horses left behind in the camp under the command of the military advisor Yang Yuan shouted every few days to launch a stone thrower to attack the city.

This kind of siege naturally can't be attacked, but Yang Yuan's purpose is to use this seemingly useless offensive to contain the Southern Navy at the mouth of the three rivers.

At the behest of Yang Yuan, An Siwen sealed the river with iron locks upstream, and built warships with great fanfare to attract the attention of the naval forces in the South China Sea.

After this set of combination punches, Zhu Asan of Sanjiangkou and Tian Erzhuang with the sailor were alert, patrolling the guards day and night.

Tian Erzhuang walked dozens of miles upstream with the warship, found the iron cables on the river and the dense shipbuilding team on the riverside, and retreated after releasing a burst of arrows.

Tian Erzhuang predicted that it would take at least half a year for the Wei army to build warships, and at that time, the Southern Navy could not stop there. However, the current war situation is so stalemate, and the prolonged time is not good for the South Navy. You have to find a breakthrough, as soon as he thought of this, Tian Erzhuang took advantage of the night to enter Sanjiangkou City with a hanging basket.

Zhu Asan was worried that the Wei army would sneak attack at night, and Tian Erzhuang thought that the Wei army was just trying to besiege them now and would not attack them.

Meng Crow shook his head, "What you both said makes sense, but I always feel that the actions of the Wei army during this period are not normal, not like they are going to attack us, but to attack us!" ”

"Brother Meng is saying that the Wei army should deal with errands and fight fake battles? But it doesn't look like it, and it was all desperately fighting in the dark before, and now it's suddenly fake, unlikely? "Zhu Asan has fought against Wei Jun and knows the strength of his opponent.

"I'm thinking about how to break the iron cables on the river so that I can destroy their shipyard and not let them build the ship right under our noses!" Tian Erzhuang was bent on breaking the iron cable on the river, going up the river and pulling out the shipyard of the Wei army.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it, I felt like we were all hooked up, like it was all a conspiracy" Meng Crow couldn't convince the two, but still insisted on his suspicions.

Zhu Asan looked at Meng Crow, "Anyway, let's be careful, if we guard the mouth of the three rivers, we won't be afraid of anything!" As for the iron cable, it is located upstream, and it can only be burned unless there is a southeast wind and a fire on a sunny day, but the rainy season is coming soon. ”

"It's a pity that our army is small, if there are 4,000 men and horses, there may be hope for attacking the Wei army camp!" Tian Erzhuang felt that blindly defending was too passive, and always wanted to try to take the initiative.

"Forget it, our capital is too small, we can't afford to gamble, we are dead, the matter is small, the soldiers are gone, and the Sanjiangkou is lost, but we will miss the big thing!" Zhu Asan was particularly cautious at this time, and immediately stopped Tian Erzhuang's thoughts.

The three of them talked for half the night, and in the end, they just led the team to strengthen the defense and waved flags to each other as a signal.

Raising three red flags at the same time means that the enemy is attacking fiercely and needs reinforcements, raising two is a chance to flank the enemy, and raising only one is safe and sound.

It is said that Liu Jian, Liu Mingge and others bid farewell to Liao Fan, the king of the soil, and embarked on the road to Chengdu westward under the escort of Liao Fan's subordinates.

After walking more than 100 miles, they came to the edge of Lizhou City, and the group was just about to enter the city, but Liu Mingge immediately stopped it.

Everyone was puzzled, Liu Mingge pointed to the notice on the root of the city wall, and Liu Jian approached to take a look.

Liu Jian couldn't stop nodding, "It's good, it's good!" Loner! Loner! ”

It turned out that this notice was actually the emperor list of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the new emperor was not Liu Fu'an in Xiangyang City, but Chen Kuan, the assassin of Yizhou.

Liu Mingge pulled Liu Jian away, "It's okay, it's better to know and plan early, it's better than being served in a pot in Chengdu!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a Dao Tong walked towards Liu Mingge, Liu Mingge looked at Dao Tong, and Dao Tong also looked at him with wide eyes, "May I ask if you are Uncle Liu who was removed from the Sword Tower?" ”

"Excuse me, you are the younger brother of Jianlou

Son, the disciple grandson of the Sword Saint Ye Yunong? Liu Mingge asked the boy rhetorically in the same tone

"Haha, it's not wrong, the apprentice grandson visited the master and uncle, and the apprentice was ordered to take the master and uncle and the nobles to the city to rest in the immortal temple" Dao Tong smiled happily

Liu Jian and Xiao Qian were a little hesitant, Liu Mingge smiled, "No one dares to move the territory of the Sword Tower, although the Sword Tower can't let anyone be the emperor, but if anyone offends the Sword Tower, he will definitely not be the emperor!" ”

"It's already come to this point, and I have to listen to Mr. Liu. Let's go, it just so happens that everyone is tired too."

When everyone arrived at the Immortal Temple, Zhu Shengbo, the master of the temple, had prepared wine and food to entertain everyone.

Liu Mingge feasted on himself, and kept persuading Liu Jian to drink. Liu Jian still drank the wine, but kept raising his glass, and the cup passed by his mouth.

"This is actually a good thing, let them decide the winner first, let's just make a final move, it's just that the world suffers, but what day has not been bitter in the past 100 years? It's time to eat, it's time to drink, come on, come on! Liu Mingge persuaded

Qin Zhong also raised his glass on the side, "Mr. Liu is right, you have to eat food, you have to drink wine, and you have to stay in the green mountains" Speaking of this, Qin Zhong couldn't help crying

Where are the green mountains, Liu Jian has no size of land, there is no road to run, there is no land for the code, only these few people around him are left.

Liu Mingge put down his chopsticks and took out the Sword Tower token from his arms, "Zhu Jianchang, you go and get some portraits of the nearest South China Sea!" You also come to tell you about this Shuzhong."

Zhu Shengbo glanced at the token a few times, "Yes, Uncle Shi has a token, so naturally you can see it!" There's a big move in the South China Sea."

As soon as he heard that there was a big movement on the other side of the South China Sea, Liu Jian's eyes lit up, and Qin Zhong also stopped crying. Just wanted to ask what was going on, Zhu Shengbo had already gone out.

When Zhu Shengbo took the portrait and opened it, everyone took a few looks, and only recognized Chen Hongyi and Li Xiaofei, but they didn't know what the portrait meant.

Zhu Shengbo smiled, "Let everyone laugh, the painting work in the South China Sea is not very good, these pictures are the Southern Navy Northern Expedition, at present, they have broken the Xianxia Pass, and the next step is to sweep the south of the Yangtze River!" ”

"The Northern Expedition? Why didn't they go west to exterminate Cui Ju, but instead go to fight Jiangnan? Liu Jian was a little puzzled

"Wonderful, General Chen is worthy of a generation of famous generals. If Cui Ju is directly attacked, Cui Ju will not be eliminated in the short term, and it will also make the Zhu Yaoshi fisherman in the north profitable. And attack Jiangnan first, Zhu Yaoshi will definitely come to the rescue, and Cui Ju will not do nothing, so drag everyone into the water, and come to fish in troubled waters, so that Daliang will have a chance to prote! Liu Mingge suddenly understood the intention of the Southern Navy's Northern Expedition and said to Liu Jian

"Now there is another Chen Kuan, and the water is even more muddy! Where do we go from here, big fish? Liu Jian still feels bleak about the future, and now he is in Chen Kuan's territory, and to the east is Cui Ju, who is chasing them.

There is hope, but now there is no way out, and I can't run back to Pingshan Tuwang.

Zhu Shengbo took out another picture scroll, which showed Chen Kuan's meeting with Chen Zhong and other generals in Bajun.

"What's going on? Why did they get together again, didn't these people take refuge in Cui Ju? Liu Jian asked two questions in a row

"Your Majesty, Chen Kuan, the emperor, was supported by these people! Chen confronted them with the army in Ba County, and because they all came out of the Chen family's army, they were all interested in peace talks. This talk brought out a new emperor, and the several armies that attacked Bashu all turned against each other! ”

"I see, these people are capricious, I'm afraid that they will betray Chen Kuan in the future" Liu Jian was a little gloating at the moment, this Cui Ju spent his time bribing Chen Jiajun, but he didn't expect Chen Jiajun to switch to Chen Kuan's door in the end.

"It's all a conflict of interests, and there is no loyalty at all, or if the two of them fight, we may have a chance to go to Jiangnan!" Xiao Qian spoke, looking at her

Only Li Xiaofei may be able to rely on

"Gangnam? Thousands of miles away, all enemy territory, how to get there? Liu Jian felt that Xiao Qian was too naïve

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Kuan said that the emperor is not that he wants to be the emperor, in the opinion of the information collected by the villain, Chen Kuan is just a chess piece of Chen Hongyibu, used to fight poison with poison! If Chen Kuan didn't stabilize the old army of the Chen family in this way, then the land of Bashu would not be able to stop Chen Zhong and them! Zhu Shengbo took out a few more portraits to show everyone

Liu Mingge saw that there was not much change in Chengdu City, and everyone in Jinguan Pavilion was fine, "If you say that, I think we can go directly to Chengdu to find Chen Kuan!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door asked to see him, and the Taoist boy came to report that he was from Chengdu, and it was a woman.

Liu Mingge stretched out his hand, "Please let her in!" I think we made the right trip to Chengdu! ”

The person who came in was none other than Qin Hongyao in the Jinguan Pavilion, still wearing a red dress and dazzling.

"I've seen Mr. Liu!" Qin Hongyao first gave Liu Mingge a half-squat and bent down to salute

"I don't have to be so courteous, but I have to give the emperor and the concubine a big gift," Liu Mingge said and looked at Liu Jian and Xiao Qian

Qin Hongyao immediately knelt down to salute Liu Jian and Xiao Qian, Liu Jian was greatly moved, and no one had knelt down to worship him for a long time.

"Hurry up, it's rare that you still have this loyal heart!"

"Your Majesty, this matter of the people's daughter is nothing, I have here a handwritten letter from Lord Chen Kuan Chen, and I want to present it to Your Majesty!"

Qin Zhong took the letter and handed it to Liu Jian, Liu Jian was a little confused, this Chen Kuan had already established himself as the king, why did he write a letter again.

Liu Jian opened the letter with a full stomach full of suspicion, the front of the letter was full of words of pleading, and the back was to invite Liu Jian to go to Chengdu secretly, Chen Kuan had already arranged to kill the thief and so on.

Liu Jian couldn't believe it, so he handed the letter to Liu Mingge, Liu Mingge looked at the letter and then at Qin Hongyao, "When you came, where was Chen Kuanren?" ”

"Lord Chen is still handling official affairs in the palace, and the original officials have not changed, but many craftsmen have been found to expand around the palace, saying that they want to build a palace. Chen Zhong and others occupied various counties from Shuzhong to Yiling. ”

Liu Mingge thought for a while, "I think for the sake of safety, I will take Your Majesty to the Sword Tower first." It's the safest place, and then I'll go to Chengdu to check the reality for myself. After speaking, he looked at Qin Hongyao again

"I'm just the one who delivers the letter, and it's only His Majesty and Mr. Liu who are qualified to make a decision, and the Minnu is just an outsider at this time!"

Liu Jian waved his hand, "Blindly escape, I'm fed up, since I have the help of Jianlou, I think Chengdu can go!" ”

Zhu Shengbo stretched out his hand towards Liu Mingge at this time, "Uncle Shi, when will you send someone to replace me, I have already gone from a thin monkey to a fat pig here!" ”

After that, everyone looked at the pot-bellied Zhu Shengbo and laughed, Liu Mingge waved his hand, "You fat poor, others can't fight for it, you deserve to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas here, and see the beautiful scenery!" I went to the Sword Tower, and I have to sue you for that Sword Saint Senior Brother, so that you will be here for the rest of your life! ”

Zhu Shengbo laughed, "Alas, it seems that this sword mad uncle really can't be offended, so I'll settle down here and continue to suffer!" With that, he asked Dao Tong to take a box of gold and silver and handed it to Liu Mingge

Liu Mingge was also unceremonious, and went over directly, "Okay, I'll accept your wishes!" You can't help in vain, I have a copy of the Huayang Sword Technique here, you can take it! ”

Zhu Shengbo got the Huayang Sword Technique, and his hand kept trembling, "This, such a profound swordsmanship, Uncle Shi gave it to me so easily?" ”

"Lack of knowledge, isn't it? In your opinion, it is a profound sword technique, but it is useless to me, I am a person who wants to refine the elixir and cultivate immortals and immortality, what is the point of a mere human sword technique! ”
