Chapter 2: The Tale of the Snatcher
In the palace of Shucheng, Brother Ran's face was grim and hideous, facing the meeting that came to ...... Or the officials who came to listen to him shout and scold, exuding a soaring killing intent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such meetings have not been interrupted recently, and Brother Que is actually aware of his irritability, but these incompetent officials make him angry every time.
Again, reprimanding these people fiercely, and then ordering them to leave the palace, Brother Crane had a gloomy face.
Behind him, the Ming Witch Master who was sitting on the seat said: "Your Majesty, it is useless to be anxious at this time, if the king is unstable, the more chaotic these people below are, the more difficult it will be for us to deal with the incoming enemies." ”
"Look at the good things these people are doing!" Brother Ori's forehead was throbbing, and his hooked nose was in the firelight, outlining a shadow, "Let them check every Chinese person to prevent internal and external collusion, but how did they do it?" These people are crazy about money? When has it been, and they dare to come here like this? ”
Ming Wu Zhu said helplessly: "Our army's military discipline is not strict, and this is also something that everyone knows. Let them stop, they will slack off, give them power, and they will mess around. Let them check the Chinese people below, they don't take the opportunity to squeeze, it's simply impossible. However, at this time, it is the time to employ people, and the cave owners of various mountains and caves do not give them some benefits, and it is difficult for them to do their best. ”
"I know what they think," Brother Ori sat back on the seat and said coldly, "It's just that we don't think we have much hope, either we will be driven back to Xiling by the Zhou army now, or we will be driven back by the barbarian army in the future, so everyone wants to catch the last handful." The Zhou Dynasty occupied Bashu for nearly a thousand years, and for the twenty-seven holes of the Three Wilderness and Nine Ridges in Xiling, in the end, they could only suppress and appease at the same time...... These people think very well, aren't they afraid that I will pull them into the oil pot together? ”
"It's not the same as it used to be, and it's their stupidity that those people can't see this clearly." Ming Wizard Zhu Master said slowly, and with his words, the surrounding firelight seemed to be shaking like a ghost, "No matter who rules the world in the future, Xiling will never be the same as before." What's more, the Tibetan birds did not in the past, even if we didn't look down on it, the Son of Heaven in China looked down on Tibet, Xiling was naturally like a chicken rib in its eyes, since the Xuanqi was prosperous, I don't know what happened, Feng Shui changed dramatically, and the spring returned to the earth everywhere, which was completely different from before. The future lord of China, after occupying Bashu, is bound to annex Tibet. ”
Brother Crane frowned tightly, and he also tried to investigate the vision that happened in Tibet, but he never found anything. After first learning about the miraculous visions that took place in Tibet, he even thought that it was a gift from God, but now it seems that it is the source of many disasters.
"Bashu must be saved." Ming Wu Zhu Shi said, "As long as we can hold Bashu, even with Tibet, it has become our back garden, and if we can't keep Bashu, even if we retract back to Xiling, the entire Xiling will be divided into countless pieces." A place like Xiling is of course a poor mountain and bad water, and it is difficult to really eradicate the Miao people in each ridge, whether it is the barbarian army or the Chinese people, but on the contrary, it is precisely because of this that once it is divided again, it will be difficult for the mountains and caves to unite as one. ”
Brother Yu said hatefully: "I knew this was the case, at that time, when Ning Jiang passed by Bashu, he should have been killed." ”
Ming Wu Zhu shook his head and said, "And then, next year, it's not that you can't fight against the barbarian army?" Ning Jiang's ability is indeed beyond our expectations, and we didn't expect that in this case, he would unite the entire south. But in the end, everything depends on strength. When he came, we didn't talk to him, it was nothing more than an ambition for the land in the south, and we used troops in the south and they fought back, so as long as we could send them back, they couldn't help but negotiate with us. As long as we can win this wave and survive this winter, then it will be a third-third of the momentum for us to fight against the barbarians with Zhou Ting, if we can't do it, then there is nothing to say, the situation is stronger than people, that's it. ”
Brother Yu knew that it was too late to regret not killing Ning Jiang at this time, but he was still unwilling in his heart after all, and after a while, he said coldly: "The last time he came, the Five Poisonous Flower Girls of the Witch Ghost Sect actually went to conflict with the people in the dangerous cave for him. Now that I think about it, two years ago, Grandma Jin went to Jiangnan once, and after she came back, she basically stopped getting involved in the affairs of our army, and the matter of the in-laws of the children who had been negotiated with my son was suddenly stopped. ”
Ming Wu Zhu Shi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Grandma Jin went to Jiangnan, although I don't know what happened, but it is certain that she will return with her wings. But to say that she colluded with Ning Jiang, it is not very likely. One of the main backings of Ningjiang is the Southern Daomen headed by Longhu Mountain, and the grievances between Longhu Mountain and the Witch Ghost Sect and the Western Heavenly Master Sect must not be said more? The secret collusion between the Witch Ghost Sect and Ning Jiang was just that the side of Qingshi Ridge and Wei Wudong was not angry at the last humiliation and secretly spread rumors that were unfavorable to the Golden Silkworm Ridge. ”
Brother Crane said coldly: "But the wind comes out of nowhere, and it may not be without a cause." Grandma Jin Yan controls the Golden Silkworm Ridge and the Witch Ghost Sect, and her eldest apprentice Hollyhock Niang also controls nearly half of the Leopard Ridge. Just in case, I'm afraid it's better to pull it out as soon as possible. ”
Ming Wuzhu frowned tightly: "The old man still thinks that the possibility of Grandma Jin directly joining the enemy is not too great, and in this extraordinary period, it is better to try to appease the side of the Golden Silkworm Ridge and the Witch Ghost Sect." Looking up, Brother Jian Yuan's face was gloomy, so he turned around: "If the king is sure that they have a plan in secret, and he is bent on eliminating hidden worries, then it is okay to strike first, but since he wants to start, he must be killed with a stick, the witch and ghost sect has a deep foundation in Bashu, and Grandma Jin herself is also a master, if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles." ”
……

"Brother Ran, this person, the latent is a corporal of Lixian, and the hidden is exhausted; When it is suspicious, jealous, and it is easy to be chaotic in times of crisis. ”
In the treacherous terrain, in the military tent and battalion, in the main tent, the "ghost army division" Bai Zijin flipped the booklet in his hand and said slowly: "Aside from the factional struggles that have never been able to be resolved within the Miao Army, Brother Ori himself, although he has martial arts and can be called the first master of Xiling, but he has not reached the level of fierce investigation and stabbing that is overwhelming and invincible, just like Grandma Jin, although she is one line behind him, she will never be too different, plus in the past two years, after Grandma Jin returned to Xiling from Jianzhou, she devoted herself to cultivation and did not ask about the outside world. Brother Crane is busy with military affairs and doesn't have much time to practice martial arts, and now it's actually hard to say which is stronger or weaker. ”
At the side of the tent, the red lady was tall and red, and said with a smile: "Last time, my uncle said that he had sent someone to sneak into Bashu for a walk, so could it be that he was going to Grandma Jin?" ”
Bai Zijin said: "The strength of the Witch Ghost Sect is not strong on the surface, but in fact, it has a deep foundation, and it has a heritage of nearly a thousand years in Xiling and Bashu, and even the Blood Ghost Ancestor is the leader of the Witch Ghost Sect. It was because of this that Brother Que wanted his son to marry Grandma Jin's apprentice and Hollyhock's sister Yue Lilac Niang. Even putting aside the witch and ghost sect, Grandma Jin Yan controls the Golden Silkworm Ridge, and because of the relationship between the eldest apprentice Hollyhuck Niang, she also has a lot of influence on the Leopard Ridge. Grandma Jin's refusal to marry Yue Lilac Niang's son has actually opened an irreparable rift between them. Hmm, although I don't know the reason why Grandma Jin did this, but now it seems that this is probably a bush that Brother Ning had already laid earlier. ”
Shook his head: "However, with the strength of Grandma Jin and her subordinate Five Poison Flower Niang, as well as the Witch and Ghost Sect, if you face Brother Shang and Ming Wu Zhushi, there is no chance of winning after all." But with the situation in Xiling, in fact, as long as there is an opportunity for the two sides to turn their faces, and then the news that Brother Crane wants to do it is revealed to Grandma Jin, so that she would rather fall out with Brother Crane than leave the Silkworm Ridge, Brother Crane and Master Ming Wu Zhu will have nothing to do with her...... At that point, we'll just send someone to contact her secretly. ”
The red lady said: "Even if we don't engage in these famous halls, according to the current situation, we can also attack Bashu......"
"Time." Baizi Jin said, "In terms of the topography of Bashu, even if we can capture it, just on the way to the march, we will inevitably waste a lot of time, after capturing Bashu, it is a battle with the barbarian army, although at that time, Brother Ning and Brother Gan will echo through the water division and go north from other places, but the battle for Sibi Cave and its surroundings as the strategic focus must be very tragic, if before that, we are not able to eliminate Brother Ran, let him escape back to Xiling, in our rear ghosts, it is always much more troublesome." Although after the capture of Bashu, it is not impossible to force Brother Crane to return to ambush, but with Brother Bird's character, he dares to surrender, I am afraid we will not dare to accept it, it is better to reach a certain agreement with Grandma Jin, which is nothing more than to continue to let her keep the Golden Silkworm Ridge and Leopard Ridge, and allow the Witch Ghost Sect to continue to preach in Bashu. ”
continued to flip through the booklet, and the red shadow flashed in front of him, and the booklet had been snatched away by the red lady. The red lady flipped through it and said: "This booklet is interesting, barbarians, Miao people, many people's personalities and abilities have been written." ”
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles."
"Hmm...... Why is it that in this booklet, even the past experiences of the Fierce Investigation Thorn and the Divine Book Sect are written, but the pages of the Falcon Queen Moon Liduo are completely empty? ”
"The queen's surname is Yuwen, and her full name should be Yuwen Yue Liduo, and she is the adopted daughter of the Yuwen family in the barbarians...... But I'm afraid there is something wrong with this. Speaking of this, Bai Zijin raised his head.
"Questions?"
"Actually, I don't know." Bai Zijin smiled bitterly, "This is what Brother Ning Jiang said, he said, everything that has been investigated, everything related to Yue Liduo of the Falcon Queen, should not be taken seriously, let alone deceived by her appearance." ”
The red lady lowered the booklet and looked at him: "But, even if the style and personality of the queen are all fakes, but at least, her childhood experience and background can be investigated, and other people's backgrounds, you have not let go of this booklet." ”
"I guess, what Brother Ning Jiang means is that this current Falcon Queen Moon Liduo...... It is likely that it is not the month Rido who was adopted by the Yuwen family at all. Actually, I don't quite understand that Yue Liduo can become the female leader of the Chunxin Clan, in addition to her own strong strength and cruel methods, it is also related to her relationship with the Yuwen family. Although the time is very short, after all, for a period of time, the Yuwen family used to be the co-leader of Yinchuan in the north, if someone really dares to pretend to be the daughter of the Yuwen family, it is difficult to explain it only within the Chunxin Department. But Brother Ning Jiang said that Yue Liduo is Yue Liduo, but it is not Yue Liduo, or rather, her body is Yue Liduo, but it is likely that she has been replaced. ”
The red lady looked at him puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”
Bai Zijin said in a low voice: "Brother Ning used two words to explain...... Take, give! ”
Snatching? Such words made the red lady a little confused, but Bai Zijin did not continue to explain, after all, for this point, in fact, Ning Jiang was just guessing. He stood up, came to the tent door, and looked out to see the winter wind, whining against the distant perforated peaks. Around them, soldiers in cotton clothes were still busy.
As the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Ningjiang's policy of first army adoption, although it brought great difficulties to the rear and even caused all kinds of secret grievances among the people who dared not speak out, but it also made all the materials on the front line available, making it possible to use troops in the increasingly cold winter. But on the other hand, they are on the cusp of the storm and feel a lot of pressure.
Bai Zijin rubbed the tip of his eyebrows to make himself more sober. This is already a war that cannot be lost in any way, not only cannot be lost, but must be won. In fact, at this time, the barbarian army led by Li Hu, the son of the queen of the falcons, had already assembled and trained on a large scale in the north of Sibidong, waiting for the big battle after the ice and snow melted, and the Ningjiang army had already begun to start a fierce battle with the barbarian army in the spring of the next year.
Obviously, even Bashu hasn't been won yet......
shook his head helplessly, if he couldn't capture Bashu before February and March of the next year, it would be really shameless to go back.
The north wind is howling, the army is assembled, the city wall is like a base, the arrow tower is like a mountain, the artillery pushed forward, and the military generals who are on standby at any time, with the unstoppable collision, turned into a roaring war and a burst of Xuanqi. In this era of demons dancing and heroes at the same time, everyone is pushed forward by the great waves of history, between light and darkness, and into the future......
