Chapter Seventy-Two: Xianmen Tianheng
Yangzhou has been an important town in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, a place for traffic in Qianmo, and now it is the hub of transportation in the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Yangzhou is geographically important and is located at the junction of the three kingdoms, it has been peaceful and tranquil since the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the clouds of war have never shrouded this ancient city. But the turbulent times were impermanent, and the Song court, which had just replaced the Great Zhou Dynasty, spread the flames of war towards the south of the Yangtze River.
On the tower of Yangzhou City Gate, Li Chongjin at this moment is looking at the army of the Song Dynasty from the air, this confrontation has lasted for half a month, and the two sides are under the suppression of the Shenlei trebuchet, and it is difficult to advance an inch.
"Captain Qiyu, under the city tower, there is a person who calls himself Tian Heng and comes to ask to see him." A personal soldier behind Li Chongjin reported.
Li Chongjin snorted lightly and said, "Let him come up." ā
"No." The soldiers responded with a salute. Then he turned and went to the bottom of the tower to spread the word.
After a while, a strong man in a black coat dressed like a fisherman climbed the tall city gate tower, stood still not far behind Li Chongjin, and bowed his hand and said, "Penglai Tianheng, I have seen Taiwei Li." ā
When Li Chongjin heard the voice, he turned around lightly, looked at Tian Heng with a pair of tiger eyes, and looked him up and down before he spoke: "Since you have achieved your goal, why did you come here again." ā
"I don't know what the captain means?" Tian Heng frowned.
"You handed over the secret recipe of the divine thunder to Captain Ben to deal with the Song court, and offered such a heavy treasure to Li, would you not ask for anything in return? Although you didn't say what you wanted to achieve, it was true that you wanted to take advantage of Li's heart. Li doesn't believe that you will be suddenly kind, and you just want to help me? If you have no other plans, I'm afraid it's hard for a three-year-old child to believe it. Li Chongjin snorted lightly.
"The secret recipe of the god and thunder, my Xianmen has no selfishness, this is also what Taiwei urgently needs, if there is no such thing, how can Taiwei hold Yangzhou City without defeat under the offensive of the Song Dynasty. Since both of us take what we need, why do we have to investigate it. Tian Heng smiled slightly.
Li Chongjin snorted lightly and said, "Then why did you come here this time?" ā
"My Xianmen received a tip-off that I will arrive in Yangzhou to preside over this battle in the near future, please be prepared for contingencies." Tian Heng reminded.
Li Chongjin snorted lightly: "Li has fought countless battles in his life, how can he be afraid of a pompous child." ā
"During the Battle of Jinnan, Li Yun also said such words, but what happened to him, presumably Taiwei Li knows very well, so please be cautious." Tian Heng admonished.
"Now that both sides have the Divine Thunder Trebuchet, and our army occupies the advantage of the city wall, what can he do about it." Li Chongjin said disapprerovingly.
Seeing that Li Chongjin didn't take this matter to heart, Tian Heng didn't persuade him much, so he planned to say goodbye and leave, and bowed slightly: "Since Tian has brought the news, then I will leave first, please take care of yourself." ā
"Inform your sect master, his kindness Li confessed, but don't try to use Li, after this Taiwei dominates the world, I hope it is best to restrain your behavior, if you try to provoke war again, don't blame Li for not remembering the old feelings." Li Chongjin said in a deep voice.
"Tian will definitely bring Taiwei Li's original words to the sect master of my family and say goodbye." Tian Heng bowed his hand and said.
Li Chongjin looked at Tian Heng, who had left after saying goodbye, and after thinking for a moment, he asked the soldiers standing aside: "Have you ever received the news that the Song Dynasty sent Wen to come to Yangzhou?" ā
"Returning to Taiwei, the Song court has indeed sent Wen to Yangzhou, but he came to Yangzhou with 30,000 horses and horses from the Beijing Forbidden Army to reinforce Pan Mei. The news we received was that Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was driving in person this time, and there was no news that he was traveling alone as a team.
According to the marching speed of the Song court's reinforcements, it would take at least seven days to reach the front of Yangzhou City. The soldier replied.
Li Chongjin sighed lightly and said: "The immortal gate is really powerful, and the news of coming alone must be true, and there is no need for them to deceive us." ā
"Taiwei, now that both of us have the secret recipe of divine thunder, even if we hear about it, I'm afraid the situation will not change much. After all, it is our army that has the advantage now, and the number of the Song court army is not enough to besiege our army. The pro-soldier wondered.
Li Chongjin thought for a moment and said: "Li Xin, you have been following me to fight for five years, and the outcome of this war has never been determined. As long as the chips for victory and defeat, even if it is only a little more than the other party, it is enough to determine the outcome of a war, and Wen is the initiator of using Shenlei in war after all. The use of divine thunder must be more familiar than us, and we must not be careless! ā
"What are your plans, Captain?" Pro-soldier Li Xin asked.
Li Chongjin said in a deep voice: "The Immortal Gate has ill intentions, although they have told our army all the secret recipes of the Divine Thunder, but we don't know what their purpose is, this is a great hidden danger. And although Wen is young, there is no luck under the fame, and he can take Zezhou lightly without effort, and he must have something extraordinary, so he must be guarded against!
You are now in a hurry for eight hundred miles, and you must quickly ask Li Tang for help, and you must explain the truth to Lord Li. ā
"No." Li Xin responded with a salute.
"Wait a minute, it's better for me to fix the book myself."
After carefully writing the letter asking for help, Li Chongjin sealed the letter and solemnly handed it to Li Xindao: "Li Xin, I think I Li is the most trusted person in my life, but there are only a few people. Zhai Shouxun and I regard him as a close confidant, but he betrayed me.
Now is the time of life and death for Li, and the only way to pin my last hope on you is that you are as your name suggests and will not let me down. ā
"The humble position will never fail the trust of the captain." Li Xin said solemnly.
"Go ahead, Captain Ben is here waiting for your good news." Li Chongjin waved his hand lightly, signaling that Li Xin could leave.
"Retire from your humble duties, please take care of yourself." Li Xin sealed the letter asking for help into the mailbox, carried it cross-legged to his chest, knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand, and then took his leave and left.
Standing on the tall city gate tower and watching Li Xin straddle his horse and leave, Li Chongjin looked at the northern sky again.
His mood at the moment was extremely complicated, he listened to Zhai Shouxun's bewitchment, and did not raise troops with Li Yun in time, delaying the best time to raise troops. After having the secret recipe of the divine thunder aided by Xianmen, he once inflated his confidence, and took the opportunity to detain the envoys of the imperial court, wanting to test the reaction of the Song court, but as a result, Zhao Kuangyin, the lord of the Song Dynasty, resolutely started the war without adequate preparation.
At this moment, he could imagine that Zhao Kuangyin must have been extremely confident in holding the divine thunder in his hand, and he had sufficient confidence in suppressing the rebellion, just like the moment he got the divine thunder, he almost thought that the world was in his hands.
Mastering the huge killing move of the divine thunder, presumably everything will become a smooth road, but now that I think about it, I find that there is more than one side of the force that has the secret recipe of the divine thunder, and it is very likely that all the heroes who are interested in competing for the world have already held the secret recipe of the divine thunder in their hands. In addition, Xianmen, a force that is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, must have a final ending that will not be stronger than Li Yun.
This battle with the Song Dynasty must have become a test of what kind of variables the war will produce after the possession of the divine thunder by all forces in the world, and inadvertently, he has become the alchemy stone of other forces. (To be continued.) )
