Chapter 60: The Dust Has Settled
"I always called Hua to send a message to the Quanzhen Sect, I originally thought it should be a few of your senior brothers, but I didn't expect it to be you, but thanks to this, otherwise it is really not easy for me to get out of the barracks, this time it is my old flower to accept your love, if there is any need of help in the future, I will not refuse!"
Hong Qigong thanked Shen Chengping again, and then told the truth of the matter: It turned out that not long ago, the beggar gang of the Jin State came to the rudder, saying that the Jin soldiers on the Shu Han border were acting abnormally, and they had repeatedly crossed the border to harm the people of the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, the rudder of the Sichuan Shu beggar gang also had news that it was occasionally found that the envoys of the Jin State were haunted in the mansions of senior officials of Sichuan and Shu, and Hong Qigong suddenly aroused vigilance, and first ordered the Guanzhong rudder to closely monitor the every move of the Jin soldiers, and at the same time asked the rudder of Sichuan and Shu to watch the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who had the envoys of the Jin State.
As the news continued to be summarized and spread, Hong Qigong and the high-ranking members of the beggar gang felt more and more that there was a conspiracy, so they summoned the Quanzhen Sect, and at the same time sent the elite of the beggar gang to the Hanzhong region to help the Great Song Border Army deal with the soldiers and horses harassed by the Jin soldiers on the border, and at the same time personally went out to explore the camp, but as soon as he touched the edge of the Chinese army's big tent, he was discovered, and Shen Chengping knew everything after that.
"Did the Hong gang leader figure out the conspiracy of the Jin people?" Shen Chengping felt that the beggar gang was a little clueless and out of order, if it was himself, he would never let his own elite swarm against the Jin army, even if the beggar gang was numerous, but against the army like this, I am afraid the loss would not be small.
"Even if it's just a few words, I've almost guessed seven or eight points!" Hong Qigong's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The Jin Kingdom has been preparing for several years, planning to rebel against the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and Sichuan, and wants to swallow the entire Sichuan and Shu in one bite, and with the cooperation of the traitors, he will wave his army to take the important land in Hanzhong!" ”
Shen Chengping didn't expect Jin Guo to have such an appetite, but he was also a person who had experienced great events, and after being a little surprised, he calmed down immediately, and then said, "But I don't know what Gang Master Hong has planned?" ”
"Hmph, I already know that General Zhang in Hanzhong is the one who secretly surrendered to the Jin State, and I will kill him when I go back.
"That's a good idea!" Shen Chengping frowned and said, "It's just that if you kill that general, there will be chaos in the army, and I'm afraid it will be easier for the Jin army to take advantage of the situation, right?" ”
"You can rest assured of this!" Hong Qigong said with a smile: "I just listened to their conversation, that General Zhang's deputy is very tough on the Jin State, and does not agree with General Zhang's surrender to the Jin people, with him, the Song army will not be in chaos!" ”
"That's it!" Hearing Hong Qigong say this, Shen Chengping breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was Hong Qigong's reckless action, many people in the rivers and lakes did not understand the politics of the art of war, and it was very easy to do bad things with good intentions, Hong Qigong was able to take this into account, and it was also because the beggar gang had helped the Great Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin State many times, and they also had experience in this area, so these low-level mistakes would not occur.
In fact, Shen Chengping estimates that the effect of the Jin State turning over the officials of Sichuan and Shu this time will not be very high, after all, those Sichuan and Shu executives of the Great Song Dynasty are already in high positions, holding heavy power, and there will be no more benefits to surrendering to the Jin people, how can they surrender directly and contact the envoys of the Jin State, but they are not willing to offend the Jin State and play Tai Chi, the key is still on the General Zhang who is in the dark avatar, after using this as a breakthrough to occupy Hanzhong, and then threaten Sichuan and Shu, it is good to be able to gain something. There is no harvest and nothing, Hong Qigong is going to kill General Zhang, which can be said to be a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and bankrupt the Jin people's conspiracy from the root.
With a judgment on the whole thing, Shen Chengping did not continue to intervene, but quietly waited for news at the border, he believed that with Hong Qigong's move, that General Zhang would inevitably die, and sure enough, more than half a month later, the news of General Zhang's death came, his lieutenant took over the soldiers and horses, and quickly stabilized the morale of the army.
Returned to the Quanzhen Sect, Shen Chengping also got the news of Yang Kang, it turned out that after Yang Kang joined the army, he was not in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, but thought of himself alone controlling the army that had not been a big one, and then trained for several months, and then took the army to strangle the bandits on the border first, and these people under his command also had the appearance of the army.
Regarding Yang Kang's calm performance, Shen Chengping also nodded secretly, since Yang Kang is worthy of cultivation, the more likely his plan to fight against Mongolia will be successful.
"Next, I'll finish watching Yan Honglie's side, but those two wolf guards are really good, I didn't expect Temujin to get the support of shamanism now, it seems that he put a lot of thought into unifying Mongolia, no wonder after hitting Wang Han in the plot, he unified the whole of Mongolia so quickly, this time he must interrupt the momentum of the rise of the Temujin tribe." Shen Chengping thought back to the information he had read before.
Just when Shen Chengping stayed in Zhongnan Mountain, while meditating, while waiting for the news of Wanyan Honglie, what Shen Chengping finally got was that the Golden Emperor did not agree to let Wanyan Honglie be the envoy to Mongolia this year, but there was another candidate, Shen Chengping felt strange, and finally carefully recalled the plot, only to remember, in the plot of the Condor Shooting, it was Guo Jing who followed Ma Yu to learn the internal skills of the Quanzhen Sect for two years, and only encountered the matter of Wanyan Honglie's envoy to Mongolia, and he miscalculated the time, thinking of this, Shen Chengping could only wait patiently and wait for the opportunity.
Just when Shen Chengping felt pity, on the mountain road of Zhongnan Mountain, a bright-eyed and handsome and extraordinary young man slowly came to the gate of Chongyang Palace.
The sound of the neat chanting of the Taoist scriptures in Chongyang Palace came from the courtyard. The handsome boy showed a charming smile on his face, and when he came to the gate of Chongyang Palace, he looked up, and the three handsome and elegant but domineering big characters of 'Chongyang Palace' were deep and deep in the entrance plaque.
The courtyard walls on both sides were high, spreading far along the huge courtyard, and two other boys in Taoist robes were sitting in the gatehouse next to the courtyard gate. I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao, why did he come to my Chongyang Palace? ”
The handsome boy stopped, looked at the two Taoist boys, and said, "I'm here to find someone!" ”
"I don't know who this son is looking for, but there is an invitation?" He made a mockery for the older boy and asked.
The tip of the handsome boy's sharp white and tender nose wrinkled slightly, and he said directly: "No, can't you enter Chongyang Palace without an invitation?" Could it be that one of your Taoist temples is not even allowed to let pilgrims offer incense? ”
