In the early morning of the next day, the plump and moving Zheng Shuming was sleeping beside him, and Long Tao got up and dressed, ready to go to the school to review the army.

Feng Ge, Meng Cai and other generals were already waiting for him in the conference hall, and Long Tao was about to beckon everyone to leave, when a guard quickly walked in, bowed down and said: "Song Zhi, the "earth sword" of the Song Valve, has brought people to visit and ask to see the king!" ”

Long Tao asked, "Where are the people?" ”

The guard replied, "It's just outside the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

"Invite them over!"

Long Tao commanded, and then led the generals out.

The two sides met in the front yard, and a total of six people came to the Song family, and Long Tao only knew Song Shuang, who he had seen in Jiangyin back then.

Song Shuang was surrounded by a man dressed in a scribe's attire with a graceful demeanor, in his forties, with a slender figure, white skin as snow, a pair of gloomy but clever glasses on his thin face, an amorous mouth and a long beard, which constituted his unique temperament and charm.

From Song Shuang's introduction, it was learned that this person was the number two person of Song Valve, "Earth Knife" Song Zhi.

After the two sides introduced and greeted each other, they came to the meeting hall and sat down, Song Shuang smiled and said, "It's really not easy to see the Divine Sword King!" After I heard that the Divine Sword Army had taken Jiangdu, I immediately set off from the sea and went straight to Jiangdu, only to know that the king had gone to Pegasus Ranch, and we hurried to the ranch, but we were still a step slower, and today I was fortunate to finally catch up in Jingling! ”

His words were full of excitement, full of the importance that their Song valve attached to Long Tao.

Long Tao smiled and said: "It is the fault of this king to let you run around and work hard. In fact, I am also looking forward to seeing Song Lao again, who would have thought that after saying goodbye to Jiangyin that day, I would never be able to wait for Song Lao's news. ”

Song Shuang's face froze, smiled awkwardly, and was speechless.

At that time, they Song Valves valued Li Mi, and even made a marriage contract for Song Yuzhi and Li Tianfan, so naturally they didn't have time to pay attention to the Divine Sword Army that had just been established at that time.

"Haha......" Song Zhi stroked his beard and laughed: "The Divine Sword King is fast talking, and he is really a crisp person!" This is the best, Song doesn't like to waste everyone's time by covering up, dare to ask the King of the Divine Sword, in the troubled times of the competition, what are the two countries intersecting? ”

Long Tao smiled indifferently: "Naturally, it is the word stake." ”

"Good!" Song Zhi patted the table and sighed: "The Divine Sword King has a sharp eye, and he hits the nail on the head, no wonder we can cross the Jiangbei, we bet on Li Mi that day, and the reason for coming to see the Divine Sword King today is the same, in the final analysis, it is the best choice made in response to the current stakes situation." ”

Long Tao said casually: "So, the old man of the Song valve finally sees Yan Mou?" ”

Song Zhiwan said: "Since the debut of the Divine Sword King, he has been invincible and has not tasted defeat, who in the world dares to despise it?" The best thing is that the king, as a southerner, is willing to adhere to Han unification, which is the best candidate in the eyes of the eldest brother! Song came here to invite the king to Lingnan to meet with the eldest brother and discuss the alliance! ”

Long Tao stared at him and said: "Yan Mou first thanked your lord for raising love, as Song Erye said, the two countries intersect, and it is still a stake, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, as strong as Li Mi also has a moment of defeat like a mountain, is the second master not afraid that Yan Mou will also have such a day?" ”

Song Zhi said calmly: "Not to mention that the Divine Sword King has proved his strength with his achievements again and again, in fact, after Li Mi's defeat, the Divine Sword King is not only the best choice in the eldest brother's heart, but also his only choice!" Looking at the heroes in the world, the rest of the sons either have complex backgrounds or have entangled relationships with the Hu people, and none of them can match the mind of the owner. ”

After a pause, he said with a deep gaze: "The lord is bent on revitalizing the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately my Song family is located in Lingnan, with high mountains and far waters, which is not conducive to directly participating in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, but if it really comes to a step that cannot be done, even if it takes years of long-distance expeditions, we will not hesitate to do it!" ”

In the original plot, Song Zhi was the main battle faction in the Song Dynasty, advocating active external expansion and enhancing the power of the Song family.

I saw Song Zhi smile slightly, and continued: "Fortunately, the rapid rise of the Divine Sword King in Jiangbei has made the eldest brother see the hope of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, so the king can rest assured that you have become the last choice of the eldest brother, as long as we form an alliance, it must be a relationship of life and death, and when there is really difficulty, our Song Valve will definitely do everything to protect you!" Moreover, with the strength of the Divine Sword Army and my Song Valve, if the two form an alliance, Song believes that Li Mi's situation will never appear to the king! ”

Long Tao laughed, stood up, and said: "The second master said that I can't wait to go to Lingnan immediately to meet the valve master, but the big thing here is not over, it is really difficult to get out, I don't know if the valve master can wait for me for a few days?" ”

Song Zhi also stood up and said with great joy: "It's enough to have the words of the Divine Sword King!" The king is busy with military affairs, and we are inconvenient to disturb, so we will go back to Lingnan first to wait for the king! ”

After sending off the Song lords, Long Tao immediately selected 10,000 elites from the Jingling defenders and drove out of the city.

Among the 10,000 people, 5,000 were Meng Cai's Xiaoguo elite cavalry, and Feng Ge and other old generals stayed in the city and did not go out with the team.

The army went out of Jingling, first went south, and then turned west, because of the secret march, avoiding Xiao Miao's ears and eyes, Long Tao has been releasing spiritual sense, monitoring the movement within a radius of fifty miles.

Soon, he spotted three stalkers.

Long Tao recognized that they were not Xiao Miao's spies, but people from the Yin Sect, because one of them looked very similar to Shan Wanjing, and it was her biological father "Demon Yin" Bian Buying.

It seems that Zhu Yuyan really has no intention of giving up, and still wants to find a chance to take revenge.

When Long Tao ghostly appeared in front of the three stalkers, a man and a woman, all three of them looked incredulously frightened.

Because they were more than thirty miles away from the army at this time, unless Long Tao was an immortal, how could they find them so accurately!

Long Tao smiled coldly and immediately made a move.

Bian Buyi only had time to take out a pair of silver round iron rings, and was restrained by Long Tao's move.

When the other two women saw that his martial arts were so high, they were shocked and retreated, and they did not dare to come forward to besiege him.

However, Long Tao looks at their body skills, and they should be on the same level as Wen Caiting.

"The two of them should be Elder Xia and Elder Yun among the four elders of the Yin Sect, right?" Long Tao asked with a smile.

One of the women nodded, but did not speak.

Long Tao said coldly: "I will leave two people alive, you go back and tell Zhu Yuyan, this is the last time I show mercy to my subordinates, if you dare to plot against this king again and play these ridiculous methods, in the future, the people of the Yin Sect, this king will definitely see one and kill one!" ”

The two women looked at Bian Buying, who was trembling in his hands and slowly getting older, and each of them shuddered, and one of them asked, "Senior brother over there, ...... he?"

Long Tao shook his head and said, "If someone asks this king to take this person's life, he can only blame him for his own sins and can't live!" Turning his head and glancing at the two of them coldly, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

The two women didn't dare to be verbose anymore, turned around and rushed away.

……

Xiao Mo sent Dong Jingzhen, the number one general under his command, to lead the troops, starting from Nanjun, the army was claimed to be 30,000, but in fact, excluding grain, grass, baggage, and various fortifications, the real combat elite only had more than 10,000 people.

Long Tao detected the vigilance with his spiritual sense, and led 10,000 people along the east bank of the Han River to dot behind Dong Jingzhen's fleet.

As he expected, Dong Jingzhen did not go to Dabie Mountain as agreed after going ashore, but waved his army straight to the west entrance of Pegasus Ranch, and he was naturally greeted by 10,000 ranch ambush soldiers who had already been fully prepared.

Long Tao also waved his army to cover up from behind, first seized their grain and grass, and finally followed the ranch army one after the other, trapping Dong Jingzhen's troops in a section of the gorge.

When Dong Jingzhen had no way to advance or retreat, Long Tao broke into the battle alone and captured him alive, and the 30,000-strong army surrendered immediately.

Long Tao ordered Dong Jingzhen to lead 10,000 soldiers to join forces with him and go straight to the base camp of the Jialuo army outside Dabie Mountain.

Zhu Cang's people thought that Dong Jingzhen had come to deal with Pegasus Ranch with them according to the established plan, and they were defenseless against it, and they were immediately killed by surprise.

Shang Xiuxun also waved his army to kill at this time, attacking from both sides.

The Garuda army immediately dispersed, and Wen Liang, the general under Zhu Cang, was killed on the spot.

Long Tao and Shang Xiuxun led the troops to chase and kill all the way, until the deserters crossed the Dabie Mountain before they collected the army, killing more than 10,000 enemies.

Subsequently, Shang Xiuxun led the army back to the pasture, and Long Tao divided half of his troops to Jingling to station, and the other half mixed with his 10,000 elites into an army, ostensibly led by Dong Jingzhen, and returned to Shinan County.

In this way, Nanjun took it almost bloodlessly.

After this battle, Zhu Cang lost his troops and lost his generals, and he was no longer able to invade the south for a while, Xiao Mo not only lost a general and 30,000 soldiers, but also lost Nanjun.

There was no longer a threat to the ranch and the surroundings of Jingling, so Long Tao transferred Feng Ge to take 10,000 people from Jingling to the south, and guarded Nanjun with Meng Cai and Dong Jingzhen to prevent Xiao Mo from invading the north.

After Denan County, plus the large areas of town land around Jingling and Pegasus Ranch, and Xiangyang, which he could easily take at any time, most of Jingzhou had actually fallen under Long Tao's control.

After he settled the defense of Nanjun, he set off to return to Jiangdu, during which he went to Baling and took Dong Jingzhen's wife and children out, after all, this was the condition promised when he surrendered.

In Baling, Long Tao also found out a little bit about Kou Xu and the others.

The two of them really went to the General's Mansion in Xiangyushan to find Su Su, and Su Su died when they arrived, just like the original plot, and the two took action to make Xiangyushan the half-dead appearance before they treated his injuries, and then took Su Su's son Xiaoling Zhongyang away.
