Li Cangxing glanced at the moon above his head and said: "As for the relationship between Leng Tianxiong and the black robe you just asked, I also carefully observed it today, and still can't come to a conclusion, it seems that Leng Tianxiong doesn't know anything about me, and in this battle of Taizhou, his general altar guards have lost a lot, if the black robe wants to raise troops to seize the world, it should not lose so much, and it is completely possible to send some peripheral forces to make a show." ”

"And today I see that Leng Tianxiong, calm and capable, deep in the art of war, under such unfavorable conditions, there is no impulse to fight with me, but to seek perfection with grievances, this calmness and forbearance, I feel that above the black robe, although the black robe's martial arts are high, but compared with this Leng Tianxiong, it is much worse, it is difficult for me to equate the two of them, maybe my previous judgment was really wrong, the black robe and Leng Tianxiong are not alone."

Qu Caifengmei blinked: "Cangxing, I believe your judgment, in fact, I have been thinking since I came this time, if Leng Tianxiong is the black robe, and he knows that you are going to make trouble in the southeast, how can he be willing to bring all his belongings and elites?" That black robe should be someone else, this time Leng Tianxiong promised you not to be your enemy for three years, but the black robe should continue to urge you to rebel in the future, how do you deal with him, have you ever thought about it? ”

Li Cangxing said with a smile: "I told him clearly before, when the time is not ripe, you can't raise troops, and if you don't take back the Wushan faction's rudder, I just have a reason, you don't have to worry about me, but you, can you gain a foothold in Guangdong?" ”

Qu Caifeng's red lips pouted unconsciously: "Cangxing, no matter how I say it, I used to be the master of the Wushan faction." In the past, the chief scoop of the seven southern provinces commanded more than 100,000 green forest heroes, you don't treat me as dependent on others for everything. Is it good for a weak person looking for protection? ”

Li Cangxing knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Caifeng, I didn't mean that, I just said that I can help you, you must not refuse for the sake of face." ”

Qu Caifeng's anger was even stronger, and his pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he waved his hand. Stopping Li Cangxing from continuing to speak, she took out her bronze mask from her arms and put it on her face, and said coldly: "Okay." Cangxing, needless to say, I know you mean well, but I'm coming back this time. I don't want to rely on anyone's help. I just want to be able to rebuild Wushan with my own hands. I have already done what you asked me to do, and as for your next plan, I will fully cooperate, but the matter of my establishment of a faction in Guangdong in the future is a family affair of our Wushan faction, so I won't have to worry about your Black Dragon Society. ”

As she spoke, she put a cloak on her back over her head to cover her snow-like hair. When he turned around, he jumped out of the distance and landed on the top of the big locust tree at the door. Two ups and downs, and then disappeared into the vast night.

Li Cangxing sighed softly, Qu Caifeng is always like this, with a strong sense of self-esteem, she just wanted to help her with good intentions, but it touched her sensitive nerves, this heroine has always been a maverick, unwilling to be a vassal of others, let others control their own destiny, and design the next series of actions for her, which is probably counterproductive, and she can only discuss it after she is angry, but she will be very busy next, and I don't know how long it will take to meet with the beautiful woman.

Li Cangxing walked out of the small courtyard slowly, this time he went straight to the south gate of the city, where the lights were bright, it should be the brightest place in Taizhou City now, and from a distance, Qi Jiguang was fully armed, with a robe and big armor, standing at the head of the city with a sword.

When Li Cangxing approached, he found that a group of soldiers were passing through the city gate at a rapid pace, each holding two torches, looking like a long fire dragon, and was marching rapidly in the southeast direction. He realized that his Black Dragon Society subordinates might have set off first, because not a single man in yellow could see it now.

Li Cangxing flew up to the city, and several soldiers on duty instinctively drew their knives and stepped forward, as soon as they saw the token in Li Cangxing's hand, they all put away their knives and retreated, Qi Jiguang also noticed the movement here at once, and stepped forward with a laugh: "Heavenly wolf, this time you have made miraculous achievements, the people of Taizhou are really grateful to you." ”

Li Cangxing nodded, looked at the winding fire dragon in the distance, and said, "General Qi, what should I do next?" ”

Qi Jiguang took Li Cangxing's hand, and the two walked towards the remote and dark place at the head of the city, and the guards behind him stopped very interestingly, until they walked to a leeward and dark place dozens of steps away, Qi Jiguang stopped and said: "This battle can't let the main force of the Japanese army of Shangquan Nobuyuki run away, and we must pursue it with all our might." ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "The marching speed of the Japanese is very fast, they are lightly armed, and they are fleeing for their lives, as long as they turn southeast and get on the boat, General Qi, according to the art of war, you can't march with such fanfare in this situation, but you are so swaggering to let the sergeants each hold two torches, and pursue unhurriedly, what is the purpose?" ”

Qi Jiguang laughed: "Sky Wolf, do you know why since ancient times, it has been said that poor Kou Mo chases?" ”

Li Cangxing said: "Because the enemy who is retreating and fleeing, if the army's heart is not dispersed at this time, pressing too hard will only make them fight to the death, General Qi, do you think that Shangquan Nobuyuki still has combat strength now, and he is prepared to retreat, so he can't be forced too fiercely?" ”

Qi Jiguang nodded, and said: "That's right, if the Japanese have already broken through the city and plundered the treasures and people, at this time, they are complacent and want to return to the ship in a hurry. ”

"But their current situation is not like this, Shangquan Nobuyuki came over this time with great momentum, but retreated without finding anything, the Japanese robbers in the department have a breath, today is late at night, the enemy may set up an ambush, if we push too quickly, chase too fiercely, it is possible to fall into the trap of ambush, so now I let my subordinates bluff, one person out of the city with two torches, three thousand people can make a scale of six or seven thousand people, so that the Japanese are afraid of it, dare not turn back and fight with me again."

Li Cangxing sighed: "General Qi is really a famous general, if I am Shangquan Xinzhi." If you knew that in this battle, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers had been wiped out by our army, you would not have believed that the Qi family army only had more than 3,000 people. He will definitely suspect that there is a problem with the intelligence, and Governor Hu has secretly transferred reinforcements to you, so when he sees your plane, he is afraid that he will not even dare to design an ambush, and will directly accelerate and flee to the sea. ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Yes, this is also my second step plan, I can't force the Japanese to be too anxious." So I had to control the speed of the march, not fast or slow, and the Japanese knew the movement of our army when they saw the torches. It won't run all the way, which will give us a chance to get ahead of them and set up an ambush. ”

Li Cangxing's heart moved: "Ambush? General Qi, go out at the south gate of Taizhou. All the way to the seaside. It's all barren mountains and bald mountains, and they can't be hidden at all, and there is no good ambush location, unless, unless it's Shangfeng Ridge. ”

Qi Jiguang looked at Li Cangxing with a smile: "Heavenly wolf, it seems that you also have a deep understanding of the geographical environment of Zhejiang." You're right, I'm just going to ambush the Japanese at Shangfeng Ridge. ”

Li Cangxing thought of the upper peak. There is a trail between the two high mountains, the terrain is extremely dangerous, to take a shortcut to escape to the sea, this is the only way, otherwise you have to detour hundreds of miles to the direction of Ningbo, the current psychological state of the above Izumi Shinzhi, must want to get on the boat as soon as possible and retreat, so he will definitely choose to risk walking up the peak.

It's just that there is no grass and trees on the top of the mountain, and there is a barren mountain range on the bare land, which can be seen at a glance ten miles away, although the terrain is excellent, but it is really not suitable as an ambush place, thinking of this, he shook his head: "General Qi, there is no grass and trees in the Shangfeng Ridge, and there is no ambush, so how can you ambush it?" ”

Qi Jiguang smiled mysteriously, turned his head and pointed to a courtyard under the city: "What do you think is that?" ”

Li Cangxing looked at the clouds, his eyesight was excellent, even in this dark night, the situation more than ten zhang away was like watching the fire, only to see that in the courtyard, there were pine branches that were more than half a person high, with dense branches and leaves, green and oily.

Li Cangxing reacted instantly, it is now the cold winter, and there are only pine trees with leaves, Qi Jiguang must have sent troops to temporarily cut down trees in the huge pine forest in the north of the city, transport them here, and then let the ambushed troops march to the ambush site with these pine branches, and lay down under the cover of pine branches.

Li Cangxing laughed and said: "No wonder my subordinates are gone, it turns out that they have been sent by General Qi to fight an ambush, since this is the case, then I can't delay any longer, and now it will pass." ”

Qi Jiguang nodded: "Before I entered the city, I divided 1,000 elite soldiers, led by my general Wu Weizhong, and marched to Shangfengling, plus your subordinates, there are more than 2,000 people, and it is more than enough to fight an ambush battle, Heavenly Wolf, we have to eliminate as many Japanese Invaders as possible in this battle, I heard Pei Yingying say, you have defeated the Demon Sect today, and Leng Tianxiong was also forced to swear that he would not enter the southeast within three years, then we only need to deal with the Japanese Invaders now, as long as we can eliminate the main force of more than 10,000 Japanese Invaders, Zhejiang area, There will be no more large-scale unrest. ”

Li Cangxing said with a smile: "It should be so, and I want to capture that Shangquan Xinzhi alive, this person's pseudonym Luo Longwen is Yan Shifan's number one dogleg, and there are many officials in Beijing who know him, if he is taken down directly, by his confession, maybe he can also bring down the Yan family and his son." ”

Qi Jiguang's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice: "Heavenly wolf, be cautious about this matter, you also know Hu Butang's current situation, it is unlikely that he will expose his mentor to the emperor." Shi Wenliu, the Japanese spy you caught in Yiwu last time, was also wiped out by Yan Shifan and Lu Bing afterwards, and now that the Yan Party has taken control of the government, even Xu Ge Lao did not dare to confront them head-on, but turned to cooperation, I am afraid that even if you catch Shangquan Xinyuki, it is unlikely that you will hit Yan Shifan's father and son. ”

Li Cangxing shook his head, and also said in a low voice: "General Qi, I'm afraid I need your help this time, if I catch Shangquan Xinzhi and want to get through to you and hand over the prisoner to Master Zhang Juzheng, maybe he will be interested in this thief." ”

Qi Jiguang's sword eyebrows raised: "Sky Wolf, what do you know?" ”

Li Cangxing knew that the things that Qian Guanglai said to him were not outsiders, but this was a rare opportunity to defeat Yan Shifan, he didn't want to miss it, since Haiyan went south and heard about the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, he had been thinking about how to use this relationship to give Yan Dang a fatal blow.

Li Cangxing smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "General Qi." Don't say dark words in front of Mingren, I know that your relationship with Zhang Juzheng and Master Zhang is extraordinary, but don't worry. I will keep this point secret, Master Zhang is a rising star of the Qing School, and now he is the teacher of King Yu, the squire of the military department, even if it is Yan Song's father and son, he has to give him three points, so if we have the real evidence of Yan Shifan's communication. If I hand it over to Mr. Zhang, I don't think he will waste this evidence. ”

Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Sky wolf." Why don't you give me a second thought? Now I am still a subordinate of Hu Butang, the governor of Hu, and I have caught such an important person, how can I cross Hu Butang and hand it over to Lord Zhang privately. This is one of them. ”

"Second. Master Zhang is not as powerful as you think. Although he is now a squire of the military department, but his main identity is still only the master of King Yu, Yan Song's father and son are polite to him on the surface, not because he has many high powers, but because he doesn't want to offend King Yu, even if Lord Zhang has this Shangquan Xinzhi as a witness in his hand now, before the emperor doesn't want to touch Yan's father and son, I'm afraid that he can't make it public. So this Nobuyuki Kamizumi, for Lord Zhang. It's just a hot potato. ”

"This third, even if Lord Zhang intends to take over Shangquan Xinzhi, but it is impossible for Yan Song and his son not to know about this matter, they will definitely ask him for someone either openly or secretly, both soft and hard, if you don't give it, it means a showdown with Yan's father and son, in case of failure this time, it is not only the present that will be lost, but also the future, the emperor has not established a prince for a long time, in addition to King Yu, there is also a King Jing, if the Yan Party counterattacks, even King Yu is implicated, then it will be all over."

Li Cangxing didn't expect this, but when he heard Qi Jiguang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I see, then it seems that this Shangquan Xinzhi can't be handed over to Master Zhang in a hurry." But I still think that if this person is retained, he may be a pawn to completely defeat the Yan Party in the future. If we pacify the southeast and open the sea route for trade, the treasury will naturally be guaranteed, and the huge annual military expenditure in the southeast can be saved, so the emperor may make up his mind to liquidate the Yan party. ”

Qi Jiguang smiled: "There is this possibility, but that is also a matter of the court, Lord Zhang can steadily defend the throne until King Yu ascends the throne, and naturally he will not be so anxious to have a showdown with Yan Dang when the emperor is on the throne." Besides, Hu Butang is also in urgent need of this leader of the Japanese to report his merits. ”

Li Cangxing sighed: "General Qi, you also know very well, I am afraid that once the Japanese in Zhejiang are eliminated, the end of the battle of Taizhou will be the day when Hu Butang will lose his official position and go to prison, if not, how can you switch to Lord Zhang?" ”

Qi Jiguang's face was blue and white for a while, and finally sighed: "Yes, but after all, I have been under Hu Butang for many years, even if I know this, I hope to give him the great merit of this battle, even if he can't keep his official position, at least let him get out of the whole body, so that he will not be sentenced to prison." ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "General Qi, you may still be too optimistic about it, this time Zhejiang Pingwei directly eliminated or expelled the main force of the Japanese who Yan Shifan had colluded with here for many years, which is tantamount to cutting off his financial route, the so-called cutting off people's financial routes is like killing his parents, it is strange that he doesn't work hard with us." You have made great contributions in this battle, and you have Lord Zhang to back you up, he doesn't dare to touch you, so he will take the opportunity to defeat Governor Hu. ”

Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Governor Hu has been diligent in state affairs in Zhejiang for many years, what reason can Yan Shifan use to frame Governor Hu?" ”

Li Cangxing said coldly: "There are all reasons that can be found, there is only one reason, it is aimed at Governor Hu's failure to recruit security last time, causing a rebellion, this time let tens of thousands of Japanese invaders attack Taizhou, it is enough to let him be dismissed from prison and imprisoned." ”

Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth: "But this time we defeated the Japanese robbers, and we can even catch the thief leader of Shangquan Xinyuki, such a front, can't this command be offset?" ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "It's useless, General Qi, the key is that the emperor is not happy with Governor Hu, he got Governor Hu here, on the one hand, he wants Governor Hu to calm the Japanese and win the battle, on the other hand, it is also to want Governor Hu to stabilize the southeast, so as not to cut off the tribute to the imperial court. ”

"The reason why Hu Zongxian can still stay in the post of governor of Zhejiang is not because he has offered auspicious rui to the emperor, but because he can't find anyone to replace him for a while.

Qi Jiguang sighed: "Even if Governor Hu can't escape with this Shangquan Xinzhi, after all, I am a subordinate of the Governor of Zhejiang, and if I catch a heavyweight captive, I must hand it over to the Governor of Zhejiang, and I don't think Lord Zhang will openly offend Yan Shifan for a Shangquan Xinzhi."
