28. Zhang Chu polemic. The general trend of the world
At the same time as the 800 Tiance veterans entered Luoyang, at the Yellow River ferry 100 miles away from Luoyang City, 10,000 elite horsemen from the Northern Dynasty were also crossing the river in an orderly manner.
Nearby ferries, large and small, were requisitioned.
The neighing of horses and horses made the night quiet, and at the present rate, it would probably not be until noon tomorrow before the army could regroup on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The soldiers who were the first to cross the river had already set up tents in the open area on the south bank for a group of high-ranking people to rest, and the soldiers who came later did not have such good treatment.
This place is still a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and tomorrow the army can march for a day to camp under the city of Luoyang.
In a tent, Zhang Chu, who came with the army, was holding a book in his hand, as if he could see that God was beside him, and Yang Beihan was lying on a chair humming and chirping.
This five-short-stated, monkey-like Seven Peerless Elder claimed that he had been ambushed by a master of the Southern Dynasty and had been injured.
But judging from his appearance alone, he was so good that he didn't even wipe off a trace of blood.
Outside this tent, there are hundreds of masters of the Seven Peerless Sects guarding it, and it is in the center of this temporary camp, only a dozen zhang away from the big tent of the Witch Sect.
"It's a pity that the eyeliner in the city has been removed."
Yang Beihan drank the wine in the wine gourd and said to Zhang Chu:
"The good plan set up by the master of the door, how can I have no choice but to have a good life, Zhang Lan, who has never been promising, actually came out once, I don't know when I learned the life and death contract, and arrested all the people we sent over."
"Him?"
Zhang Chu chuckled lightly when he heard this, and the Seven Peerless Sect Master glanced at the chaotic night outside the tent.
He shook his head, threw the book in his hand to Wu Wusheng, put his hands behind his back, and said:
"I don't believe that Zhang Lan can cross his heart knot and go to the death contract of the student, he has hated this miracle since he was a child, how can he take the initiative to learn it now?
If what I expected is true, it was Shen Qiu who really started to expel the eyeliner! ”
Zhang Chu's two-colored pupils, illuminated by the flickering candle flame in the tent, looked very strange, and he said in a firm tone:
"Shen Qiu first learned the Soul Destroying Claw, and after returning from Liaodong, he learned the Cold Pond Duel... I don't even think it's a cold pond, although I'm happy and haven't been willing to talk about it deeply.
But I'm seven or eight points sure. ”
He looked back at Yang Beihan and said:
"What Shen Qiu learned should be the secret of the witch sect, Shuo Xue Xuangong. Uncle Bei Han met Zhang Lan by chance before and said that my brother had also learned a strange fingering.
I think it should also be taught by Shen Qiu.
That man, at first glance, was ordinary and dim, but in fact he was not a thing in the pool, and now he has spread his wings and reached the sky.
I've learned so much martial arts, and I won't be surprised if I have a life and death contract again. ”
Zhang Chu's words made the anxious waiter who was standing on the side nod again and again.
Although he didn't tell Zhang Chu about the knife comparison in Suzhou, and Yang Beihan also helped him hide it, but the young man had already decided in his heart that Shen Qiu was really not a thing in the pool.
"Why does the door master have to conclude that it's Shen Qiu?"
Yang Beihan sat up straight from his chair, and the five short-stature elders stared at Zhang Chu, and he said:
"The master of the sect should not have forgotten that those small sects in the Western Regions, after they withdrew from Luoyang, gave me the letter they were waiting for, and the letter was very clear.
said that the old master appeared in Luoyang, and he was confirmed by Zhang Lan.
Then why can't it be the old master who expelled the seven peerless people in Luoyang City? ”
Yang Beihan shivered very playfully, and he said:
"When I think of the old master, I may be waiting for you and me to come to the door in Luoyang City, and the old man is a little worried in his heart."
"Uncle Beihan, you're boring."
Zhang Chu touched the two little fingers of his left hand,
Half a year has passed, and these two newborn little fingers have almost adapted to it, and they can hold the knife again, he smiled while kneading his fingers, and said to Yang Beihan:
"If it is really my father who appeared in Luoyang, will those small sects still have a way to live?
Uncle Beihan, don't forget, the leader of the martial arts alliance is in Luoyang, although his martial arts are not as good as my father, but he is also a master of the heavenly list, my father is so aggressive, there is no reason for Ren Hao not to notice it.
Finally, my father has been hidden in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, how can he appear openly for this trivial matter in Luoyang?
It must be a play played by Shen Qiu and Zhang Lan.
In order to deceive us and others, and then scare us away. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chu laughed again, and he said:
"But what Uncle Bei Han said is right.
My brother finally came out once, and it was really impressive.
He's on the decent side, so he's made up his mind to fight against my brother.
That's right! ”
Zhang Chu let go of his fingers, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and said:
"This is the momentum that the Zhang family should have!"
Yang Beihan stared at Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu has changed a lot in the past few months.
It was always flat, deliberately imitating Zhang Moxie's expression, and now he also has a smile, which seems to be more vivid.
But in those pairs of heterochromatic pupils, the light that flashed from time to time would make Yang Beihan feel dangerous.
Since the Suzhou War, Zhang Chu has been transforming.
From the original arrogance faded away and began to grow rapidly, but the direction of his growth was not like his father.
Zhang Chu seems to be more and more cheerful, but his heart is also becoming more and more gloomy.
Yang Beihan, who watched him grow up since he was a child, didn't know him very well, and the elders couldn't guess what Zhang Chu was thinking now.
"But it can't be ruled out that the old master is really in Luoyang."
Yang Beihan lowered his head, took a sip of wine, and said in a low voice:
"Even if you are only 100% sure, the door master must be prepared, if it alarms the old door master's plan, I am afraid it will not be beautiful."
"Uncle Xie Beihan reminded."
Zhang Chu nodded, with a hint of disapproval in his tone, and said:
"But I can be sure that my father is not in Luoyang. If he is really dissatisfied with what you and I have done, then it is impossible for us to get here smoothly.
What about 10,000 elites, plus a heavenly list?
In front of my father, these were just chickens and dogs.
At this time, my father should still be in the fugue, waiting for me to make a career so that he can see my ability. ”
Zhang Chu said in a deep voice:
"However, it is really regrettable that I lost those eyeliners in the city this time, and the original plan to cooperate with the army to seize the city gate has just come to an end.
But it doesn't matter, this time, we're not doing a lot of business. ”
He looked at the soldiers coming and going outside the tent and said:
"This time I took advantage of the general trend of the world, put on a dignified and upright posture, didn't play those conspiracy paths, and had a good fight with the martial arts decency.
Let them also see how much strength they can use to fight back, how much strength they can use to fight back, which they have been slandering on weekdays.
Oh, I hope those decent people don't get scared of peeing their pants. ”
"But the martial arts man of the Southern Dynasty before rescued the insider, and this will be in Luoyang City, and he must have already received the news of the siege of the army.
Instead of seizing the time to evacuate, they made a gesture of dying with the city. ”
Yang Beihan touched his rat whiskers, squinted his eyes and said:
"That Ren Hao is not an unscrupulous person, and decent people are not necessarily righteous, and they can't see ordinary people injured and suffering.
If it weren't for the fact that they all relied on it, they wouldn't have made such a decision. ”
The elder whispered:
"Since they dare to fight, they are sure that they have a chance to win."
"What Ren Hao relies on is nothing more than the army from Zhengzhou to help."
Zhang Chu waved his hand and said disapprecantly:
"Qu Xie has already dealt with it. Luoyang City, never want to wait for reinforcements.
Happy Sect Master has achieved great success, as long as he restrains Ren Hao, this Luoyang City, which has been infected with the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, seems to be majestic, but in front of us, it is nothing more than a paper tiger.
It's a pity that the old man was busy with pharmaceuticals and couldn't come in person, otherwise he would be even more secure. ”
There was a light shining in the eyes of the Seven Peerless Sect Masters, and it was an ambitious light.
He said:
"In Luoyang City, there are two holy women of the Holy Fire Sect. If we can get it, we can make the Holy Fire Cult join our alliance.
After taking Luoyang City and opening the road to the hinterland of the Central Plains, our connection with the Tongwu Sect became closer and closer.
In this way, except for Miao Jiang and Qingyang, the five sects of the Demon Sect will truly reunite, just like when my father was there!
Now that there is a strong national power of the Northern Dynasties at its disposal, it is not difficult to really decide the world. ”
Zhang Chu let out a sigh, he looked at his left hand, and there was no longer the emerald ring that symbolized the head of the Zhang family on his finger, which made a trace of coldness flash in his eyes.
He said:
"The world is settled, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no longer a distinction between good and evil in the martial arts rivers and lakes, this is my father's wish back then. I will fulfill this wish for my father!
Start with the Luoyang City in front of you. ”
"Hehe, then don't blame the old man for pouring cold water on you, master."
Yang Beihan is not so optimistic.
The elder, who had seen the ups and downs, stood up, he looked at Zhang Chu's back, and said:
"The plague of ten thousand poisons is solved by the king of medicine.
Happiness may not necessarily be able to restrain Ren Hao.
There is indeed a Holy Fire Sect saintess in Luoyang City, but there are also a number of decent masters to support it, even with the assistance of the masters of the Witch Sect, in the chaotic battle array, it is extremely difficult to catch it.
Not to mention, in that city, there are people who have itchy teeth with evil hatred.
If you really attack Luoyang, it will be very difficult and difficult to want the evil to act according to the plan.
The master of the door is painstakingly lonely, and wants to reunite the five sects, but now this union is still very loose, and each family will not necessarily sell its dead power.
If the owner wants to make things happen again, he can't think about things so simply! ”
"Yes, I know."
Zhang Chu did not become angry because Yang Beihan sang the opposite.
On the contrary, he behaved very humbly.
He turned his head and nodded to Yang Beihan and said:
"I know what Uncle Bei Han means, there is a price to pay for underestimating the heroes of the world, and I have already paid the price."
He looked at the two fingers of his left hand and said:
"Uncle Bei Han don't worry, I have been prepared for the worst-case scenario, and I have my own plan, this attack on Luoyang is a big operation that I mediated in many ways among the five sects.
Everyone involved in it naturally wants it to go smoothly. ”
Zhang Chumo rubbed his stubble chin, and he said:
"But this battle array, who can say that it is nine out of ten? If it's really unfortunate to fail..."
"How can you fail?"
Zhang Chu's words were interrupted by a deep voice, and the Witch Sect Master, who was dressed in black, was happy and walked into the camp tent.
Behind him, followed by several masters of the Witch Sect.
All of them have a restrained atmosphere, exude a gloomy atmosphere, and they are all really good hands.
Happy to walk into the tent, those masters stopped outside the tent, the guards there, not leaving an inch.
"Nephew Zhang Chuxian, you were in Yanjing before, but you promised this seat that this matter in Luoyang will be nine out of ten."
The national teacher of the Northern Dynasty held the handle of the bone knife at his waist, although there was no cold lingering on his body, but his eyes were grayish-white, and at first glance, they looked like a condensed glacier.
He said:
"This seat sees that several sect masters have joined, and for the sake of your father's face, this is why despite the opposition of the important ministers of the court, I will do my best to help you succeed.
When this is the end, you tell me that there is still such a thing as 'unfortunate failure'? Isn't it, can't you play this seat? ”
The happy Shuo Xue Xuangong has achieved great success, and there is no trace of cold overflowing, just from the appearance, he looks like an ordinary Liaodong man.
But when he pulled down his face, he had a bit of majesty and coldness.
In the face of his questioning, Zhang Chu was not nervous, and he had already made a draft, he said:
"Sect Master, you are the national teacher of a country, so you naturally know that the general trend of the world is not in the gains and losses of one city and one pool?
This time we raided Luoyang, causing the Southern Dynasty to tear apart the garrison in the Central Plains, as long as the Zhengzhou general led the army to support, my promise to your northern country has been fulfilled.
We are waiting to gather in Luoyang, but Luoyang is just a bait. ”
Zhang Chu looked at the map of the Central Plains hanging in the camp tent, and said:
"The northern country went south from Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, bypassing Luoyang, and most of the Central Plains was in the bag, occupying the Central Plains, and echoing the north and south of the Qilu Army.
At that time, whether it is to attack Huainan, or to go straight to Xiaoxiang, whether it is to capture Qilu, or to kill Jiangnan!
Hasn't the initiative of the general trend of the world already fallen into the hands of the national teacher?
When the national teacher decided on this Luoyang strategy, the major events in the north had already been decided. ”
"Heh, you're saying it easy."
Happy is not a reckless man who does not know the art of war, only knows how to practice martial arts, has been a national teacher of the Northern Dynasties all the year round, and has also assisted a generation of male lord Yelu Chong, so he is naturally not easy to bewitch.
He sneered and said:
"If it is according to your analysis, then the Guanzhong Tiance Army, do you want to sit and watch my army enter the Central Plains? If you don't pull out that nail, even if our country really enters the Central Plains, this seat will still be difficult to sleep! ”
Zhang Chu's eyes were full of helplessness when he said this.
This old fox.
It's true that you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle.
But he also had a draft, and in the face of a happy and cold gaze, Zhang Chu put his hands behind his back and said softly:
"On the day when the Northern Kingdom conquers the Central Plains, the 'demon soldiers' that my Seven Peerless Sects have been hoarding in the Western Regions for many years will also come out of the Gansu area of the Western Regions and approach Guanzhong!
No matter how powerful his Tiance army is, he can't fight on two fronts, right?
National teacher, you see, this is what I call the general trend of the world..."
"Good! The virtuous nephew is really calculating! ”
Happy to be assured by Zhang Chu, then he showed a bold smile, he patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder vigorously, and said loudly:
"That seat, I'll accompany you here in Luoyang, and have fun with those decent people! Virtuous nephew, you really have the talent to stabilize the country and live up to your father's prestige in the world! ”
Zhang Chu smiled disappreciatively.
A gentle smile appeared on Zhang Moxie's face, and he said in a humble tone:
"I don't dare to be greedy for heaven's work.
My father had already laid out a game of chess that swept the world, and I just wanted to revive that game. What a battle between good and evil, what a decent demon cult!
It's funny!
After the world is pacified by the national teacher and us, we will sweep away all those short-sighted people in the rivers and lakes, and return the world to a peaceful Lang Lang! ”
Zhang Chu stretched out his hand, as if holding something that didn't exist.
A cold light flashed in his two-color pupils, and he said:
"My father wanted to do it back then, but because of his mother, he couldn't do it, so I Zhang Chu came to do it for him!"
