Inside the city of Hengyang.

The apricot yellow banner stands high, and the people inside and outside the city are crowded, that is, in a wilderness outside, but the terrain is flat, there must be a camp to erect, and the large and small camps stretch for more than ten miles.

With so many people pouring into Hengyang, this city with a circumference of only nine miles naturally can't fit it. In the third month of the lunar calendar, the farmland has already released water seedlings, so there is a long queue of camps that stretches for more than ten miles outside Hengyang City.

In this way, the atmosphere in Hengyang City is still very active and cheerful at first glance. But no one knew that the Hengzhou Mansion where Zhao Huan was stationed was now shrouded in the severe cold of a cold winter.

Zhao Huan sat at the top of the lobby, his face was pale, and what he held tightly in his hand was a secret letter from Jingbei. Although he was weak, he was blown up by the words in the letter.

This secret letter is about Lu Qian's attack on Xiangyang. The words inside are simply ridiculous. Is that how bad the Imperial City Division is?

After scanning the secret letter again, Zhao Huan shouted angrily: "Mr. Geng! ”

Geng Nanzhong, who was at the bottom, stepped forward, and Zhao Huan handed over the secret letter to him first, who was neither the one with the highest official position among the people present, nor the one with the highest prestige among the people present, but he was the one Zhao Huan trusted the most. Even if Chen Guoting and others took the lead in supporting Zhao Huan, at the critical moment, Zhao Huan's most trusted person was still Geng Nanzhong.

Geng Nanzhong took the secret letter, and naturally unfolded the secret letter that was already a little wrinkled, and it seemed that in front of Xu Han, Chen Guoting, and Xu Churen, it was not modest at all. Even there was a faint sense of self-satisfaction in his heart.

It's just that after reading the secret letter, Geng Nanzhong's face was solemn as if he was about to drip water, and he frowned thickly.

Although he didn't see with his own eyes how Liang Shanjun broke through Xiangyang, reading what was written on this secret letter made him a little uneasy.

What blue sky and white sun rain down the sky, a blow and the city to the city, he didn't believe it. This is not the world of ghosts and gods, even if the great artist is fully obsessed with cultivating immortals, Geng Nanzhong does not believe it. The city wall collapsed with one blow, this is the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods, if the cultivation of immortals can really be so powerful, what do you need to do with a million troops? Wouldn't Lin Lingsu be able to sweep the world alone? Can Liang Shanjun still be arrogant?

Nonsense, thinking it's a fairy Zhiwei?

But he can be sure that this must be Liang Shanjun's secret weapon, and the power is very huge, which makes him even more helpless in his heart. This feeling of knowing that the enemy is getting better and better, but there is nothing to be done and I am powerless to stop it, is really too aggrieved.

Several other important ministers, under Zhao Huan's instructions, asked Geng Nanzhong for the secret letter, and carefully studied it, and their faces changed greatly.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous. It's really nonsense. "Xu Churen is the most non-existent of the four ministers of the auxiliary government. At this moment, he was angry and angry. Thunder fell from the sky and collapsed Xiangyang City, and the city fell. What does this mean? Are you saying that God is also helping the northern thieves? What nonsense.

"What Xu Dazai said is very true. Such deceptive words must not be allowed to spread among the people of the market. Xu Han and Chen Guoting immediately chimed in.

Compared with the method of the Liangshan army to break the city, the harm of such rumors is even greater.

Hearing this, Zhao Huan's face looked better, but Geng Nanzhong's face quietly turned red, and he ignored this kind of big thing.

"What the Imperial City Division said is very wrong, but there are many fools in the world, and the ministers are afraid that the small people in the market will be moved by rumors." Geng Nanzhong immediately made a touch, but it also looked natural. He continued, "The most important thing is to be able to find out what is inside. Xiangyang is a strong city in the world, and the northern thieves will break through it in a few days, which is really terrifying. "If this weapon is frequently used by the Liangshan army to attack the city, it will be a great hidden danger.

"The destruction of Xiangyang City is mostly caused by the collapse of the city wall, and the casualties of the sergeants under the command of the land thieves must be small, and there are Wang Xiaozhong, Wang Shixuan and other thieves who surrender to the enemy, leading the army to join the land thieves, and the sergeants under their accounts are afraid that they will rise instead of falling. And the two thieves of Zhong and Wang are not big weapons, how can they be strong? When it opens up the Dongting waterway, the land thieves will be combined with the land and water, and the army will inevitably go south, which is a problem for His Majesty's henchmen. Geng Nanzhong sighed softly, and his heart was also awe-inspiring.

Zhao Huan always thought that with the defense of Xiangyang City, if the Liangshan army wanted to swallow it, it would have to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800. It is impossible for Yao Gu to lead the army to surrender, because the future of the Yao family, Yao Pingzhong, is in the hands of his father. But in fact, Yao Gu did not surrender, but although the Liangshan army suffered casualties, it was far less than the huge gain.

At the thought of 200,000 Liangshan troops crossing the river and heading south, Zhao Huan's heart was as cold as the cold winter in the north. With his current strength, how can he stop the 200,000 Liangshan army? Even if there are troops led by Xu Huiyan, plus soldiers and horses of all sizes going south, it is the same.

But he also knew that this war with the Liangshan Army would come sooner or later.

Gangneung City, March 15, the weather is sunny and cloudless, which is a rare good weather.

Zhang Shun led the sailor to finally arrive in Gangneung.

Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing had already led their troops to attack the Song army, Hao Siwen and Zhai Jin of Hanyang City also led troops to kill the Yangtze River, and Ezhou City broke itself without a fight, because Liu Zhongwu had already led troops back south.

Therefore, the army crossed the river to attack the city, and it was completely bloodless.

As soon as Ezhou is broken, it will be connected with the Chao Gai of Jiangzhou, and at this moment, the army is pointing directly at Yueyang. Does this place matter?

The entrance and exit at the eastern end of Dongting Lake is not important? For 2,000 years, it was a military stronghold. But now there is not a single soldier here.

Zhong Xiang and Wang Qingkong didn't dare to eat it when they looked at the fatty meat, but when Liu Zhongwu retreated south, he gave up Yuezhou and Ezhou together cleanly, as well as Natan Prefecture.

You must know that the official road of Jinghu South Road is divided into east and west roads around Dongting Lake, and Yueyang is the node of East Road, and the two official roads meet in Tanzhou, which is Changsha in later generations. Then from Changsha to Hengyang, there is only one official road.

Therefore, this Tanzhou has been occupied by Zhong Xiang, how can there still be a Song army in Yuezhou?

Who doesn't know that after Lu Qian captures Jingxiang, he will go down to Jingnan?

Lu Qian was already planning to sweep the north and south roads of Jinghu Lake, and the latter was in the hands of Zhao Song, so he was really blind. That's northern Hubei and southern Hunan, each of which is a major grain-producing province. Now it's so downcast.

"Li Zhu asks to see?" Looking at the greeting post handed over by the guard, Lu Qian thought about it.

Wang Qing's military advisor.

Well, from this point of view, this Li Zhu is also a person who has no great ability. It is not so much that he is a real talent, but that he is Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others.

The latter two are also victims of the view of "the winner is the prince and the loser".

If Li Zicheng really sits firmly in the country, these two people will definitely not be crooked images such as jumping beams and clowns in the eyes of future generations. That time was also a Fazheng and Ma Liang.

However, history has no ifs.

And this famous Mr. Jin Jian also has a nephew named Li Yi, but he is one of the most important generals in Wang Qing's army. This person's martial arts are not outstanding, and Hugh said that he is comparable to Du Bai, Yutai, and Xuanqi, even if he is better than Duan 2 and Duan 5. However, people do not have enough intelligence to make up for it, and it is not the force of generals who command troops to fight, but more brains.

An example is that Qin Ming fell into the grass. Looking at the original work of Water Margin, Qin Ming's tragic beginning, in the final analysis, he himself is not a person.

"My lord, do you want to see me at once?" Lehe asked.

Lu Qian said without thinking: "Call him to see him." "It's my own.

Li Zhu's uncle and nephew had deep strength and great influence in Wang Qingjun's army, but he was the most important of the many flags he planted in Dongting Lake.

"No!" Lehe withdrew.

Lu Qian straightened his clothes and sat in the first position. No matter what Li Zhu's true quality is, now that he has been cast and has a heavy responsibility, Lu Qian should treat him solemnly.

Outside, Li Zhu was standing with his hands tied. He was born in the rivers and lakes, has a good martial arts, and is free and easy.

In the past, whether it was in Huaixi or Dongting Lake, he didn't feel what 'rules' were from Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang, and what was the dignity of the emperor.

From being brought into the gate to see Lu Qian, he first got off the sword, and then searched his whole body, of course, it was not Hongguoguo's slut, but with a magnet, a large natural magnet. Sweep it up, down, left and right.

Li Zhu was not surprised, after all, he was a new investor, and there was an old master behind him, so it was already excellent that he was not searched. Not to mention that the saber was returned to him. Who in the rivers and lakes doesn't know his name as Mr. Jin Jian? To be able to give him the saber is the greatest trust.

From the moment you enter the gate, it is a majestic and solemn one. Under the walls along the way, there are elite warriors in iron armor, with three steps and one sentry, and five steps and one post. He has music and leadership, and naturally he will not be checked layer by layer. But from the moment they entered the gate to the time they arrived at the hall, the guards and samurai were overwhelmed, and these people were all solemn and unmoving. How can it not exude a sense of majesty?

He also bumped into many people dressed as officials, who did not shout loudly, let alone behave unscrupulously and call them brothers. See each other from afar, and salute each other. From the beginning to the end, he didn't hear anyone shouting at a high level.

In such a place, he felt a sense of silence.

Knowing that Le He came back after entering, he stood in front of the hall and shouted, Li Zhushi heard the first loud voice after entering the house.

Lu Qian looked at a middle-aged man dressed as a soldier, carrying a long sword, and slowly walked inside from the outside.

I saw that this person's sideburns were gray, his eyes were deep, although his figure was medium, he was slender and well-proportioned, his head was covered with a single yarn to wipe his eyebrows and headscarf, he was wearing a straight embellished with arrowroot cloth, and the texture of his clothes was not luxurious.

Li Zhu entered the lobby, and naturally saw Lu Qian sitting upright, and gave thousands of salutes: "Li Zhu, a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, has seen the king." ”

Lu Qian said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Mr. Jin Jian for a long time, I saw it today, and I got what I wanted, fortunately, fortunately." ”

For Li Zhu, Lu Qian can't put on a full portrait of a sage and sage, nor can he be a reckless hero, and it is really difficult for him to grasp it during that period.

While Lu Qian looked at Li Zhu, Li Zhushi also gave Lu Qian a face. He is a genuine master of the rivers and lakes.

When Li Zhu and Wang Qing first met, it was in Tokyo City. He hooked up with that Tong Jiaoxiu just met, because he was unwell, Wang Qing went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and he wanted to get up, and saw a hexagram seller on Fuxi Street. Wearing a single yarn to wipe the eyebrows and headscarf, wearing a straight body of kudzu cloth, holding a shaded umbrella, hanging a paper signboard under the umbrella, the four characters of "Congenital God Number" in the big book, and sixteen small characters on both sides, wrote:

Jingnan Li Zhu, ten texts and one number, the words are accurate, and the technique is better than the management.

Yes, this Li Zhu really knows some tricks of getting along. It's accurate or not, let's not talk about it.

Li Zhu looked at Lu Qian, his face was not unusual, his face was white and bearded, and he was slightly noble, but his eyebrows were thin, the tails of his eyebrows were not gathered, and there were defects, and the tip of his nose was meatless. How did he become the appearance of the emperor who swallowed mountains and rivers now?

For the first time, Li Zhu had doubts about what he had learned in the past. Even if he gave Wang Qing a divination, it turned out to be quite accurate in hindsight.

And then look at Lu Qian is temperament, this end is the atmosphere of the emperor. The demeanor is gentle, the attitude is free, and between the raised hands, the image of the dragon and the tiger is very intimidating.
