Chapter 290: When Crossing the South and Returning to the North
In the middle and lower reaches of the Guangling River today, the Qingzhou Naval Division occupies a condescending advantage, and it has always been Cao Changqing personally sitting in the flagship of the Guangling Naval Division, but because the overall combat strength of the Qingzhou Naval Division is not as good as the latter, it can only confront each other, and it can be said that winning or losing will only be outside the river, and can only watch the vast land on the north bank of the Guangling River, exchanging life and death. In this way, the two talkers of the Qingzhou Naval Division, including Wei Dong, who has the reputation of the Dragon King, has been to the capital to face the saint, and has gone to the house of Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, to become a guest, which is considered to be a retreat, which is bitter Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, who is only nominally the commander of the water division, and the group of proud soldiers under the command of Wu Chongxuan, the general of the southern expedition, do not take this young vassal king seriously, and even take the local government to see Zhao Xun who left the jurisdiction, so that Zhao Xun can only stay in a Huanglonglou ship to thank guests, of course, there is no one to let the young vassal king go to thank guests, it is said that every day from both sides of the strait to buy and send to the ship of the fine wine has not been broken, most of them are hiding to borrow wine to drown their sorrowsγ
But in fact, Zhao Xun is not depressed, but quite interested, in addition to the moving woman who looks like the old Jing'an princess to accompany him, Zhao Xun in the cabin on the two walls of the Liangmang Pass map and Guangling situation map respectively, every day will move a chair under the wall to sit upright, pondering the next trend of the two battlefields, although Zhao Xun knows that he is very likely to be a ridiculous soldierless vassal king in a short period of time, but Zhao Xun and the old Jing'an king Zhao Heng learned a skill, that is, to endure and hibernate, and the old vassal king left him The strategist taught Zhao Xun the second thing, that is, to retreat as advance, and the Qingzhou cavalry lost everything, is a self-cut arm, but this allows him to sit firmly on the seat of King Jing'an, and even a slight surplus, after all, he entered the Qingzhou Water Division, and the next 10,000 Jing'an Dao young and strong generous death, is his first self-assertion after the blind young man is missing, Zhao Xun is quite complacent, if the imperial court did not let Wen Taiyi and Ma Zhongxian, the two new feudal officials, come to his territory to mix sand, it will be more complete, especially Wen Taiyi, the old Qingzhou who is familiar with Jing'an Taoist officialdom, after Hong Lingshu entered Beijing, Wen Lao Lang abruptly killed a horse gun after many years, and returned to his hometown with a prominent identity as a strategic envoy, so that he was like a fish in his throat, as for Ma Zhongxian, after all, he is a foreigner, Qingzhou officialdom is notoriously xenophobic, and it is a taboo for the court to raise eyebrows between local military and political bigwigs, and it is unlikely that Ma Zhongxian and Wen Taiyi will really be in the same spirit.
Today, Zhao Xun sat under the wall again, holding the wine jug with two fingers and shaking it gently, and looked sideways at the woman sitting on the chair next to him with a smile, "That Mr. Lu once left a long letter of more than 10,000 words before betraying me, which mentioned the Qingzhou pattern in the middle and late stages of the Guangling War, he said that this Jing'an Taoist envoy may be Yuan Yu, who was the abandoned son of Zhang Lu in the early years, and the Jiedu envoy is Hong Lingshu, the head snake, as a result, you see, our Mr. Lu also has a time of 'misreading'." β
The woman frowned, not blindly echoing the young vassal king's fall to the strategist, but said in an undisguised tone of lesson: "Mr. Lu has done his best for the prince in the past two years, even if he didn't start and finish well, but he didn't make the slightest unfavorable move to you in the end, then you shouldn't be so sarcastic about him! As the master of one side, you should have the amount of tolerance that matches it." β
Zhao Xun was not angry, and said with a smile: "It was my mistake." β
She sighed with emotion: "It would be nice if Mr. Lu stayed with the prince." β
She is now slandered as a female vassal king in the dark of Qingzhou's high-level officialdom, and even Hong Lingshu speculated before leaving office that it was this woman of unknown origin who blew the pillow wind beside the young vassal king, and squeezed out the blind strategists who had always disliked her. But whether she or Zhao Xun, they all know that this is not the case at all, and the person who really wants Lu Xu to leave Qingzhou is the young man who sits on the dragon chair in Tai'an City. is about the same age, the same surname is Zhao, a young vassal king wearing a python robe, and a young genius wearing a dragon robe, but they are different from each other. Zhao Xun knew that Lu Xu couldn't help himself, but his feelings for Lu Xu had always been extremely complicated and dark, both admiration and jealousy, he wanted to become a close friend, and he hoped to be able to convince this person.
Zhao Xun raised the exquisite wine jug and took a sip, and his smile was a little stronger, "The world doesn't know why the surname Xu raised troops to the south, I know, love beauty but don't love the country, I was really jealous of him before, now think about it, why do you need to do this?" The woman she likes, on the table, is the king of a country who owns half of the Central Plains territory, but the result was first coveted by the Song family disciple who was in the wind of Yushu, and there were countless courtiers in the court to help advocate and build momentum, and when the war situation was unfavorable, Cao Changqing had to leave the water division, and the civil and military officials finally stopped a little, she was put on the stove again, and had to drive the expedition in person, I just got a few spy reports, and the towering scholars raised by the great Chu began to take the initiative to leak a secret news to the outside, the woman actually did not go to the ancient battlefield of the first line of defense, but was hidden and imprisoned in the palaceIn fact, they didn't think that on the day when the capital of Western Chu was destroyed, their civil officials would be able to push their Emperor His Majesty out of the top tank?
Zhao Xun sneered: "I heard that several fierce generals under Wu Chongxuan's command have made military orders, Wu Chongxuan may promise those henchmen, whoever takes the lead in breaking through the capital of Western Chu, he, Wu Chongxuan, can ask His Majesty the Emperor for the self-disposal of the deceased empress Jiang Xi, and the person who breaks the city will get a beauty! It's no wonder that almost everyone in the southern Xinjiang army on the western front is crazy, and they are simply fighting to the death recklessly, except for the more pitiful Gu Ying who beat Xu Yanbing half to death in Tai'an City, without this luck, from the first person in the world to use a halberd in the southern Xinjiang 10,000 enemies Wang Tongshan, to the infantry generals Zhang Dingyuan and Ye Xiufeng Liang Yue, all of them scattered gold and silver to their subordinates, and even some people did not hesitate to take the risk to secretly borrow money from local officials and gentry, Wu Chongxuan naturally turned a blind eye to this. β
Zhao Xun rubbed his chin and gloated: "That Wang Tongshan, who was extremely relied on by Zhao Bing, the king of Yan in the past, heard that Jiang Ji drove the front line of Xileibi in person, and actually left the Lao Dushan battlefield he was in charge of without authorization, and only led the eighteen elite cavalry to the north for three hundred miles, and even in the front area of the two armies facing each other, he unexpectedly broke the formation two hundred steps with his own strength, and the Western Chu generals who died under his halberd were no less than 100 people, all of whom died in a miserable state, tsk, but unfortunately Wang Tongshan also learned afterwards that the woman was not the empress of Western Chu. However, after this battle, I believe you have heard of Wang Tongshan's famous saying, although it is a little vulgar and indecent, but it does say a lot of the voices of countless men today, haha, "The little lady surnamed Jiang, Lao Tzu is the general Wang Tongshan! There is a halberd in your hand, and there is also a halberd under your crotch, I heard that your swordsmanship is good, do you dare to fight with my Wang Tongshan? You must be convinced in bed and bed!"
When Zhao Xun said this, he couldn't help laughing, almost laughing out into tears, but his eyes were gloomy, as if to say that you Xu Fengnian is the co-master of the 300,000 Iron Cavalry, and what about the immortal figure who is one of the four great grandmasters of the Martial Arts?
is different from the happy heart of the King of Jing'an, Zhao Xun's eyes are gloomy, she is also a woman, so she is naturally a little concerned.
In the troubled times, how many women, especially beautiful women, can survive?
Zhao Xun leaned forward understandingly, patted the back of her hand, and said with a gentle look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I, Zhao Xun, will live up to you in this life." β
She was about to speak, but she suddenly got up, dragged Zhao Xun up from the chair almost brutally, and then protected him behind her.
When she saw the back that was not strange and very unfamiliar, her face was pale like a lightning strike, and her body began to tremble violently involuntarily, so that the five fingers of the young vassal king were clenched with great strength, Zhao Xun's face was full of pain because of the pain, but it was the same as her, when he saw the back, he forgot the stinging pain in an instant, only the cold.
Such as fish, insects, mayflies, and suddenly see the big Jiao across the river.
It was a slender figure, with two knives hanging from his waist, standing under the opposite wall, one hand on the edge of the chair, looking up at the slightly rough picture of the cool and reckless pass.
She bit her lip and oozes blood without realizing it.
Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, instantly soaked his back with cold sweat.
The uninvited guest, who was supposed to be the least likely to appear here, did not turn around, but continued to stare at the situation map, and said slowly: "They are all acquaintances, and I didn't bother you when I saw that you were chatting happily." β
Zhao Xun extremely hoped that he could straighten his waist at this juncture, even if he could say a half-sentence of hard words, but even he himself found that his teeth were chattering when he spoke, "Why did you come here?"
The man's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, "Originally, I was looking for Chen Zhibao, but I just found you nearby, so I came to say hello, if it wasn't for King Jing'an, you broke through the sky, this king really didn't know that she didn't actually appear in the West Base Wall defense line." β
The more calm and reminiscent this person is, the more heartbroken she and Zhao Xun are.
This person dared to kill even the heavy cavalry army that appeared in the capital, and even the heavenly immortals who had been worshiped for hundreds of years by the Qin Heavenly Eunuch for hundreds of years dared to kill, and he came to visit the door silently, and killed the two silently.
Zhao Xun didn't know where he got the courage, his eyes were red, and he suddenly yelled at the back: "Xu Fengnian! You dare to kill me?!"
Xu Fengnian turned around and pulled the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling.
That kind of look made the young King Jing'an feel even more sad and humiliated, "Do you really want to kill the king of the Liyang Domain, and recognize it as a rebellion?!"
Xu Fengnian said: "Liyang Zhao is surnamed the vassal king, is it very valuable?"
Zhao Xun's face was cloudy.
Xu Fengnian added, "The two Jing'an palace worshippers who came the fastest were already dead, just now. As for those dead soldiers in the palace, even if there are crowds on this Yellow Dragon warship, plus stacked Arhats, and a thousand people, is it really enough for this king to kill?"
Zhao Xun finally collapsed, and his body staggered back a step, and the young feudal king who was the first to succeed in hereditary replacement in Liyang tried to take another step forward, but he couldn't.
When Xu Fengnian appeared in front of Zhao Xun in an instant, the woman was trembling all the time, and she never had the courage to make a move, and she didn't even have the courage to raise her arm slightly.
Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand and grabbed the neck of this dignified King Jing'an, and lifted him off the ground, "The reason why I didn't kill you today is that you are a waste left to the Liyang Zhao Room, which is more useful than dying." Zhao Xun, you said that Zhao Heng used an old life to help you win a hereditary replacement, did you lose money?"
Zhao Xun, whose eyes were bloodshot, grabbed the arm with both hands, but his hands were weak and in vain.
Xu Fengnian carried Zhao Xun out of the cabin, came to the railing, raised it high, and smashed the King of Jing'an into the water.
The throwing force is so great that a large splash is stirred on the water surface of the Guangling River.
This is the second time that Zhao Xun has been reduced to a soup chicken, and the last time was when His Royal Highness the Prince of Jing'an was in Chunshen Lake. This time, he was already a vassal king, and he was replaced by a vassal king.
Her real name should have been a woman who was ashamed, wearing the rooting skin that she had carefully created, she stood not far away, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, she didn't dare to look at Xu Fengnian, and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince ......"
Suddenly realizing that this young man was no longer His Royal Highness the prince, Shu Xi hurriedly said softly: "Lord Wang, Shu Xi has not been sorry for Beiliang all these years, and the news of Lu Xu's departure from Qingzhou was also passed on by the slave maid to the water house, and the slave maid is just ...... It's just not ......."
At this point, she couldn't say a word.
When she waited for a while, she didn't wait for the king of Beiliang to kill the killer, and then she raised her head, only to see him raise his eyes into the distance, and his eyes were focused on a particularly majestic Huanglonglou ship.
She gritted her teeth and jumped into the river.
Xu Fengnian didn't pay attention to Shu Shay's actions at all, and disappeared in a flash.
The boat under his feet suddenly sank downward!
The big waves on the Guangling River shook and roared, and the movement was so loud that even a nearby building boat began to shake more than once.
On the boat about 200 zhang away, the man in white who has rarely appeared in the field of vision of the sailor, the world-famous King of Shu, stood at the bow of the boat, holding the plum wine that was the second most famous gun in the world.
On the river, a figure appeared in the air as if it were higher than the building boat.
Chen Zhibao flicked his wrist, and the spear plum wine, although the tail of the spear was used as the head of the spear to stab into the air, but the head of the spear held in the palm of Chen Zhibao's hand as the tail of the gun for the time being turned blue and purple.
With this building ship as the center of the circle, the river surface within a hundred zhang is like a hundred dragons shaking together, and the river wind is not significant in today's Guangling River, and waves of monstrous waves appear out of thin air.
And the high altitude pointed by the tip of Chen Zhibao's spear, the clouds broke through a hole, and the sunlight sprinkled on the earth through it, forming a huge pillar of light visible to the naked eye.
After the blink of an eye, the plum wine in Chen Zhibao's hand changed from vertical to horizontal, not only that, but the middle section of the gun body was against the arm.
A pawn crossing the river was cut on the plum wine.
After a short silence, the huge building ship where Chen Zhibao was located had no more buildings, and all the buildings on the deck were smashed and blown apart in an instant.
The crosser pressed down.
Chen Zhibao and plum wine did not move.
But the already shattered ship sank even worse, like a wreck that was leaking rapidly.
Soon there was no trace of the boat on the Guangling River, and Chen Zhibao seemed to be just standing on the water, standing with a horizontal gun.
The Yellow Dragon warships of the Qingzhou Navy Division around them swayed and slid backwards, and the ships that were the main warships of the Navy Division were still showing signs of capsizing, not to mention the smaller Lu Hua Xian and other boats, which were directly upside down on the Guangling River.
Chen Zhibao's face was as usual, looking at the already empty river a hundred steps away, his wrist twisted lightly, and finally held a gun against the enemy for the first time.
The sleeve of the white-clothed soldier saint was already shattered, and the arm that was holding the plum wine was already slightly oozing blood under the impact of the river crossing pawn like the top of the mountain.
As far as Chen Zhibao could see, Xu Fengnian was standing on the surface of the river, and the Beiliang knife hanging on the right side of his waist was still unsheathed.
In today's rivers and lakes, it is already known that the real killer weapon of Xu Fengnian, the king of Xinliang, is the left-handed knife, so when he only pulls out the left-handed saber with his right hand, it means that the real difference between life and death is still in the next moment.
Chen Zhibao said flatly: "I didn't expect it." β
He was far from harming the roots, and Xu Fengnian was even more so.
But even so, in the first battle between the two great martial arts masters, the Huanglonglou ship was easily pressed underwater by Xu Fengnian with just one blow.
How much power does it take to drive a giant Yellow Dragon ship floating on the river to the bottom?
Watching the battle from the sidelines, watching the fire from the other side, clapping your hands a few times, and pointing out a few words?
The embarrassed Qingzhou sailors did not lose their minds, and fled for their lives, and they couldn't take care of saving people.
Chen Zhibao, who was fluttering in white, smiled, "When you return to your peak, when I become a saint, it's not too late to fight again." Of course, if you could get ahead of me, I wouldn't run away. If I were faster than you, you wouldn't be able to escape. β
Xu Fengnian did not speak.
This Xinliang King just used the unsheathed left-handed knife to tell the white-clothed soldier saint, there are some things, you Chen Zhibao said it doesn't count.
On this day, the Guangling River, up and down more than 100 miles of the vast river, if two heavenly giants raise a hammer to hit the water, the sky is dark.
Later generations recorded that the Guangling River was flooded on this day.
Dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on a broken boat board that fluctuates with the waves, the plum wine rests on his lap at will, the breeze on the river is blowing, the river tends to be calm, and the clothes are fluttering, making this Shu king who uses soldiers like a god more like a fairy.
His heart shifted slightly to the left, and he was dripping with blood.
Chen Zhibao gently put his hands on the plum wine, without sadness or joy, looked up at the sky, and was silent.
And on the north shore in the distance, there is a young man who has re-armed his double sword, crossing south and returning north.
Go north and see her, just take a look.
But before meeting her.
He's going to kill someone first.
Wang Tongshan.
