"Slaughtering the city?" Everyone present was taken aback when they heard Shi Luosheng say that he wanted to slaughter the city, Jiang Huan Chu shook his head repeatedly: "No, I would rather lose to Deng Yuanjue than slaughter the city, this is too hurtful to the peace of the heavens, and it will also increase the cost of our governance of the Chu State in the future." ”

Shi Luosheng smiled slightly: "I didn't say that you would really slaughter the city, but just let the people of Liang County think that you would slaughter the city." In this way, panic will spread in the city, and slowly people will want to surrender to you. ”

Jiang Huan Chu had fought for a few years, and began to understand Shi Luosheng's intentions, and continued along his train of thought: "As more and more people want to surrender, it will undoubtedly put a pressure on the officers and soldiers defending the city, and at this time, I will tell the people in the city that as long as they open the city gate and surrender, I will not only not slaughter the city, but will also exempt them from all taxes for three years." ”

Shi Luosheng praised: "Yes, you have learned to draw inferences from one another, it is true, after the power of the Chu State was given to the local government in the past three years, the people have long been complaining, and your move to exempt them from taxation is a big temptation." In addition, the spread of this matter has spread, and even Chen Liu, who is behind, does not have to fight, and wherever your Fourth Highness goes, not only the people will welcome you, but even the soldiers defending the city will look at the wind. ”

"Good plan." Jiang Huan Chu was already full of confidence in taking Liang County: "If you kid is willing to teach me early, why would I waste so much time." ”

Shi Luosheng ignored his blame: "I have already told you about the strategy, now you can let us go." ”

Jiang Huan Chu sighed: "Since you insist on refusing to stay, I can't force you, you have to be more careful when you go to the Heavenly Pillar Peak in half a year, the Hidden Star Sect can stand for a hundred years, and its strength should not be underestimated." ”

Shi Luosheng glanced at Hou Ying: "Speaking of the battle of Tianzhu Peak in half a year, I still have something I want to ask King Hou for help." ”

Hou Ying was a little surprised: "Oh? Sect Master Shi, please speak, if the old man can help, he will definitely not refuse. "Hou Ying knew that Shi Luosheng was the leader of the Tianluo Sect, so he was commensurate with the sect leader.

"Then thank you first, I want to ask you to bring a letter to the Qi Sect Master of your sect, my Tianluo Sect wants to join your Tianqi Sect to besiege Tianzhu Peak." Shi Luosheng spoke his mind.

The Tianqi Sect has been suppressed by the Hidden Star Sect for so many years, as the first major sect of the first great country, their status in the rivers and lakes can only rank second, and the leaders of the Tianqi Sect in the past generations have been holding their breath in their hearts, so they have always been in a hostile state with the Hidden Star Sect.

If there was a powerful gang willing to join forces with them and deal with the Hidden Star Sect together, then Sect Leader Qi Tianfang would also be happy.

It didn't take long for the Tianluo Sect to be rebuilt, and its headquarters was built overseas, and not many people on the mainland knew about it, but Hou Ying knew their details. Zu Qingzhi and Hua Haoxuan are both more powerful figures than Shen Nanxing, Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan also have few opponents in the rivers and lakes, and the Tianluo Sect has strong economic strength and its own private army, if it weren't for the Hidden Star Sect on the mainland of Chu, they wouldn't need to cooperate with anyone at all to destroy him alone.

Hou Yingxi said: "Sect Master Shi, don't worry, I will definitely bring your letter, I believe that Sect Master Qi will also look forward to cooperating with your sect." ”

"That's great, if the Qi Sect Master has no opinion, we will make an appointment to meet in Tianwu City in half a year, our Tianluo Sect still has a mess of things in the Ryukyu Islands, so only the five of us can go this time, and then we will have to ask the Qi Sect Master to bother more in terms of manpower." Shi Luosheng said again.

"Where is this Sect Master, although there are only five of you, your strength is better than half of the rivers and lakes, and we should have more people." Hou Ying's words are not a compliment, Guangzu Qingzhi or Hua Haoxuan alone can destroy a well-known gang, and the difference in strength between Shi Luosheng, Liu Zixuan and the two of them is not large.

After discussing the matter of attacking Tianzhu Peak, Shi Luosheng and the three of them said goodbye to Jiang Huan Chu and went straight to Shouchun City.

"Brother Shi, how are you going to test General Deng, if it is really the same as what Xiang Tong said, then his martial arts are at least at the same level as Master and Uncle." On the way, Jiang Wan'er had some worries about the trip to Shouchun.

"Yes, I'm also very curious why the Hidden Star Sect only sent people to assassinate Tian Wuji and Huan Chu, but not General Deng?" Liu Zixuan also had doubts in his heart.

"I've also considered this question, the Hidden Star Sect must have sent people, but there is no news coming out, there are only two possibilities, the first is that all the people sent out by the Hidden Star Sect were killed by the righteous father, the righteous father did not make a statement, and the Hidden Star Sect is even more impossible. The second is that the stepfather didn't give the Hidden Star Sect any chance to make a move at all, so there has been no news. Shi Luosheng said his opinion.

Jiang Wan'er was even more worried: "No matter what the situation is, it can show that this General Deng is too terrible, if it is the first case, there is King Zhu Fa and so many Heavenly Qi Sect masters by General Tian's side, he will inevitably be injured, then how high must General Deng's martial arts be to kill them all silently?" If it is the second case, then how cautious does General Deng have to be? For such a long time, the Hidden Star Sect didn't find a chance to make a move. Brother Shi, I think we should forget it, don't mess with him, anyway, we won't have any conflicts with him overseas. ”

"Your worries are not wrong, my father-in-law is worthy of being the number one general in the world, and his actions are unfathomable. Although we don't have any conflict with him now, I'm afraid that if something happens in the future, we won't be prepared at all. ”

Deng Yuanjue knew that Shi Luosheng had already captured Naba City before he attacked Xiakou, so it was impossible for him to hide his plan to cheat death.

Shi Luosheng is a pawn cultivated by Xiao Daocheng to deal with Deng Yuanjue, if Deng Yuanjue really wants to rebel in the future, he will definitely find a way to deal with Shi Luosheng, which is why he has to prepare in advance.

Jiang Wan'er saw that Shi Luosheng had made up her mind, and she no longer persuaded each other: "Where do we start this time?" Now we can't go to the Song army camp. ”

Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "We really can't go to the Song army camp, but we can go to the Chu army camp." ”

"The Chu army camp?" Although he broke away from the Song State, Liu Zixuan subconsciously regarded the Chu State as an enemy: "We have a feud with the Chu State, how can they cooperate with us." ”

Shi Luosheng waved his hand: "Wrong, Chu and Song are feuds, not with us Ryukyu, don't mess up this relationship, besides, we are here to help them deal with the Song army, why don't you cooperate with us?" ”

"What? Want to help them deal with General Deng? Liu Zixuan still couldn't accept it.

Shi Luosheng comforted: "Don't worry, we are just looking for an excuse to cooperate with them, saying that we are helping them, but in fact, we are trapping them, and besides, how can the father-in-law be so easy to deal with." Let's first go and find out the granary of the Song army for the purpose of entering the body. ”

Five days later, the three of them took advantage of the night to sneak into Shouchun City and found Xiong Xin, the crown prince of Chu, in the former palace.

Xiong Xin was discussing Shouchun's defense with Gao Yi, when suddenly three strangers broke in, and they were all startled.

Although Shouchun is no longer the national capital, Xiong Xin is still the dignified His Royal Highness the Prince, the guards around him have not decreased, and all of them are not weak in martial arts, and there are many masters of the Hidden Star Sect in the palace, and now they are being broken in silently, how can they not be afraid, what if the person who comes in is from Song Jun's side?

Xiong Xin looked a little flustered, and Gao Yi stood in front of him and asked, "Who are you who dare to trespass on the palace?" ”

After the last battle of Jizhou, Shi Luosheng's impression of Gao Yi has not been very good, and now he is a little bold when he looks at his performance: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't need to panic, we have no malicious intentions, this rash visit is to help you deal with Deng Yuanjue." ”

As soon as Xiong Xin heard that he was not here to assassinate himself, he walked out from behind Gao Yi: "Who said I was panicked, you just said that you would help us deal with Deng Yuanjue, do you have the ability?" ”

This person is very timid, this is Shi Luosheng's first impression of Xiong Xin: "We can sneak into the palace quietly, doesn't this prove our ability?" Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who of those Hidden Star Sect masters who live in the palace now can do it? ”

Xiong Xin's face changed, and he didn't know how to refute.

Gao Yi shouted: "If Your Excellency is just here to fight for the benefit of your tongue, then please leave." ”

Shi Luosheng couldn't help but glance at Gao Yi a few more times, it seemed that it was necessary for him to reacquaint himself with this Great Sima of the Chu State: "Before I tell me my plan, I want to meet the highest person in charge of the Hidden Star Sect in Shouchun, and I want to ask him why there has been no progress in assassinating Deng Yuanjue in the past six months?" ”

The assassination of Deng Yuanjue by the Hidden Star Sect was kept secret, and Gao Yi didn't know how the person in front of him knew, but he didn't ask too much, and directly asked Liu Ligang, another deputy hall master of the Hidden Star Sect Worship Hall, to come over.

Liu Ligang didn't hide it after knowing Shi Luosheng's intention, and directly told the truth: "Don't hide it, I have sent people to monitor the Song army camp day and night in the past six months, but unfortunately, Deng Yuanjue didn't give me any chance to make a move." He never acts alone, and he is always accompanied by a group of masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”

Sure enough, it was the second situation, and the three of Shi Luosheng looked at each other a few times.

"Since I can't find an opportunity, I can only find a way to create an opportunity." After listening to this, Shi Luosheng said to Gao Yi.

Gao Yi is not stupid, seeing Shi Luosheng looking at himself, it must be related to the military aspect: "Does Your Excellency mean the use of soldiers?" But we only have 50,000 defenders, Deng Yuanjue has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and we are not enough to defend the city, what can we do in terms of using troops? ”

Shi Luosheng shook his head: "The Song army is both an advantage and a disadvantage, their disadvantage is food, since Deng Yuanjue sent out the army, all the grain and grass used are supplied from Chu, and there is no support from the Song country." Before I came, I had already found out that their current grain storage place was in Fengtai, a hundred miles away from Shouchun, and as long as we could burn his grain and grass, Deng Yuanjue would have to withdraw his troops. ”
