"Master Hou, the Shu army has withdrawn."

Standing on the top of Wancheng City, looking at the smoke scene of the fields outside the city, Cai Tong breathed a sigh of relief. It has been more than ten years, and since Cai Tong took control of Jingzhou, he has dreamed of getting this Wancheng.

First because of Jin Xiu, and then because of Huan Wu, hindered Cai Tong's pace. But now it's different, the entire territory of Nanyang County, except for Yu County, is already in Cai Tong's hands.

After some bargaining, Cai Tong finally asked for 50,000 stone of grain and grass from Yang Xian's hands. On the other hand, Cai Tong agreed to make Suixian a garrison for the Shu army, and allowed the Shu army to mobilize ships from the waterway near Xiangcheng in Jingzhou.

"Yes! Yang Xian is gone, but Huan Wu is here. ”

The enemy was coming, but there was not much tension in Cai Tong's voice.

Nanyang has only one county, but it has a population of one million, and it is one of the largest counties in the world. At that time, in order to protect himself, Nanyang Duan Xiao constantly repaired the city defense. Later, Jin Xiu and even Huan Wu also continued Duan Xiao's policy from time to time.

With Wancheng, it is equivalent to giving the Chu army a foothold in Nanyang, that is, Huan Wu arrived with an army of 200,000, and Cai Tong also thought that he had the strength to fight.

What's more, now, Huan Wu can't mobilize so many troops at all.

Because of Huan Zhong's rout and Jin Xin's surrender, Huan Wu can be said to have lost in Nanyang. Of the 130,000 troops, 30,000 died under the sword of the Chu army. The rest, half of which was in Yang Xian's hands, and a small half became his Cai Tong's captive. Now there are only about 20,000 Liang troops by Huan Zhong's side, and the number is still decreasing.

The Liang army in Nanyang is not an exaggeration to describe it as the annihilation of the whole army. After this defeat, even Huanwu, who is sitting in the land of seven states, is not comfortable.

"Let Wenqing lead the army, chase and kill Huan Zhong, and ask him to bring Huan Zhong's head back to me."

Cai Tong's face became gloomy, and his eyes were full of murder. For his old rival, Cai Tong is not merciless at all. At the beginning, Yang Xian let Huan Zhong go, but he didn't have any good ideas.

Yang Xian wanted Huan Zhong to contain Cai Tong for as long as he could, so that the Chu army would have extra energy to find trouble with the Shu army. After all, if Yang Xian wanted to transport all the families of the hundreds of thousands of Black Fly Army and the materials of Wancheng to Yizhou, it was impossible to do it without a month.

It's just that for Cai Tong, Huan Zhong is also a trouble that has to be removed. Huan Zhong has been in Wancheng for a long time and has a strong appeal. If he lives, it will also be a huge threat to the Chu army.

The guards who passed the order quickly walked down, and Cai Tong was the only one left in the city. He walked around the city, touching the old wall tiles and wood, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Wancheng, it's finally mine."

Jiuyu Mountain, Shenxiao faction.

The clouds are ethereal, and the cranes are singing in the sky. Qionghua is different grass, fragrant and fragrant.

A woman in Tsing Yi crossed the flower path and entered the forest hut.

Luo Jing, the head of the Shenxiao faction, has lived in the secluded courtyard for a long time, and the affairs of the door have been handed over to his disciple Lin Suqing and several elders in the door to take care of.

Lin Suqing is more than forty years old this year, but she looks like a girl. Elegant and light, detached from dust. She pushed open the door of the house, and Luo Jing in the room was sitting with his eyes closed.

With cigarettes curling and hair white, Luo Jing, who was dressed in Taoist clothes, slowly opened his eyes and looked at his most proud disciple.

"How's the battle going at Yamashita?"

"Qi Yu is in charge, and the Liang army is completely defeated. After Yang Xian occupied Wancheng, he gave it to Cai Tong, and he led his army back to Sui County. Now Huan Zhong is leading the remnants of the army to defeat, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, and he is being chased and killed by the Chu army. ”

Luo Jing smiled slightly and said, "This Yang Xian is a little interesting. ”

"I heard that Yang Xian once went to Liangzhou, and the affairs of the Demon Extreme Sect have a lot to do with him."

The Shenxiao Sect is a giant of the arts, and the Demon Extreme Sect is also now. But between the two philosophies or others, they are diametrically opposed.

For the sake of the battle for Taoism, there are no more verbal battles between the Shenxiao Sect and the Demon Extreme Sect.

"The fact that the Demon Pole Sect was able to become the giant of Liangzhou today has a deep relationship with the efforts of its ancestors for hundreds of years. But if there was no Meng Xuan, it would not be so easy for the Demon Extreme Sect to become the behemoth it is today. ”

When Luo Jing said this, he didn't feel a sigh.

"At the beginning, the two of you successively worshiped my Shenxiao Sect, whether it was you or Meng Xuan, they were all disciples I valued. It's a pity that if it weren't for that Zhong Buqi, it wouldn't have been like this. ”

When Zhong Buqi was spoken, Lin Su's light eyes became a little dim. Now the name of this Lingxiao Sword Master has become a taboo among this Shenxiao Sect.

No one dared to mention this name in front of Lin Suqing, and only Luo Jing said a few words by the way when he remembered the past.

"Meng Xuan, the evil obstacle, as the descendant of the first vein of art, prefers to learn the sword qi of the first vein in the mountain. That's it, he is not good at learning, and he actually betrayed his master and threw himself into the Demon Pole Sect. ”

When Luo Jing said this, there was deep regret and unwillingness in his tone. Meng Xuan was originally Luo Jing's most valued disciple, but it was a pity that when he was young, he was too arrogant, he was extremely talented, and he wanted to read the strengths of a hundred schools. Luo Jing originally wanted to sharpen his temperament, so he asked Meng Xuan to go to his friend Yu Xiuyuan to register for three years and practice sword qi.

But this is also the most regrettable decision Luo Jing has made in his life.

The past is unbearable. Looking at the lonely appearance of the disciple in front of him, Luo Jing sighed softly.

"Su Qing, tell me to go down. Huan Wu's soldiers and horses will have to meet Huan Zhong's remnants. Cut a gap in our realm, and let them through. ”

Jiuyu Mountain is separated between Nanyang County and Yuzhou. At this moment, the main road from Nanyang to the Central Plains has been cut off by Cai Tong. If Huan Zhong wanted to withdraw with 20,000 Liang troops, he had to force his way through Jiuyu Mountain.

Lin Suqing was a little puzzled and asked, "Master, I have sent monks to never interfere in the dispute between the princes. So, why would you make an exception? ”

"Because Huan Wu offered a price that I couldn't refuse."

Luo Jing smiled slightly, and explained in a tone that did not look like what a monk should use.

"Price code?"

Luo Jing took out a square seal from his wide sleeve, with a dark purple giant spar on it.

"Fantianyin?"

Lin Su sighed lightly, he didn't expect that this magic weapon was actually in Huan Wu's hands.

"Nowadays, there are very few refiners who can make Fantian seals, and Huan Wu has one side in his hands, which really surprises me. Everyone in the world says that we monks should have no desires and no desires, but in fact this is just a misunderstanding. Su Qing, Huan Zhong led the army to leave and immediately closed the mountain gate. I want to practice this Heavenly Seal with a few of your uncles and uncles to perfect this sect array. The big change may be instantaneous, and my Shenxiao Sect can fight for a while. ”

"Yes, Master!"
