Chapter 657: Finding out
Xu Yang heard that Ma Zichen had sent Lian Gui, his aunt, and the other party's son to Guangzhou for refuge, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to see Lian Gui, but who would have thought that you had already sent them to Guangzhou." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć By the way, after you send them to Guangzhou, is there anyone around you to protect them?"
"It's natural. I've arranged for some of my skilled men to protect the three of them. Ma Zichen said with a smile.
Xu Yang heard that Ma Zichen's family was already protected, so he let go of the worries in his heart, and Ma Zichen could fight against the Holy Lotus Sect army wholeheartedly if he stayed in Xiangcheng.
Since Xu Yang came to Xiangcheng, in addition to seeing the lineup of the Holy Lotus Sect's army, he still doesn't know the strength of the Holy Lotus Sect's army, and only by figuring out the strength of the Holy Lotus Sect can he prescribe the right medicine and successfully wipe out the Holy Lotus Sect completely.
"Brother Ma, are there any sect leaders in the Holy Lotus Sect's army, as well as the Thirteen Taibao of the Holy Lotus Sect?" Xu Yang asked.
After Xu Yang's battle in Tianjing City ended, he reduced the thirteen Taibao of the Holy Lotus Sect to only Wang Wen, Huang Feng, Shuowang, Tufan, Kuohai, Han Lie, and one person who didn't know existed, and there were still seven people left.
When Xu Yang was fighting in Tianjing, Ma Zichen also knew that ASEAN and Jian Chan in the Thirteen Taibao had surrendered and separated from the Holy Lotus Sect, while Liu Zhixie, Song Zhiqing, and Moheluo were all killed, and Moeller's whereabouts were unknown. This made the Thirteen Taibao of the Holy Lotus Sect instantly reduce the number of people by six.
"Brother Xu, we learned from the secret agents we planted in the Holy Lotus Sect's army that all the thirteen Taibao of the Holy Lotus Sect are here, and Sect Master He is also among them. Ma Zichen replied.
Xu Yang was taken aback when he heard that the Thirteen Taibao and Sect Master He of the Holy Lotus Sect were all here, he didn't expect that the Holy Lotus Sect would come out of the nest this time, it can be seen that the Holy Lotus Sect is determined to win Xiangcheng this time, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.
However, Xu Yang still does not have a comprehensive grasp of the Thirteen Taibao, that is, who the last person is, and he does not know. He said: "In addition to the six people of the Thirteen Taibao of the Holy Lotus Sect, except for Wang Wen, Huang Feng, Shuowang, Tufan, Kuohai, and Han Lie, who is the rest of the people?
"Naturally, this was investigated. This person's name is 'Shi Tianliang'. However, we only know the name of this person, and the secret agent has never seen the true face of this person, as for what means and what magic weapons he has, we don't know!" Ma Zichen replied.
Xu Yang heard that the other party's name was "Shi Tianliang", but the secret agent didn't find out more information about this person, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he didn't have the opportunity to prepare early.
As a result, Xu Yang now knows all the people of the Thirteen Taibao of the Holy Lotus Sect thoroughly, but he still knows very little about the details of this Shi Tianliang.
Even so, Xu Yang had some understanding of Sect Leader He, Wang Wen, Huang Feng, Shuowang, Tufan, Kuhai, and Han Lie in the Holy Lotus Sect, so he would not be unprepared.
However, Xu Yang was puzzled when he was in Tianjing City, that Zhang Feng didn't know why he left Tianjing City, and whether he also joined the battle?
"Brother Ma, did the spies find out that there is another person named Zhang Feng in the Holy Lotus Sect army?" asked Xu Yang.
Ma Zichen heard that Xu Yang also inquired about another person named Zhang Feng, and immediately thought about it carefully, and after thinking for a while, he didn't remember that the secret agent had said about this person, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard the secret agent talk about this person." I'm afraid that this person's status is low, but the secret agent is just paying attention to the important people and things in the Holy Lotus Sect. He asked again, "Who is this Zhang Feng?"
"Zhang Feng is not a lowly person. And this person still has some unresolved enmity with me. And if this person is in the Holy Lotus Sect, he will definitely be known by the secret agents. Judging from this, I'm afraid Zhang Feng is not in the Holy Lotus Sect, maybe?" Xu Yang said.
And as Xu Yang said, if Zhang Feng was in the army of the Holy Lotus Sect, I am afraid that the secret agents would have known about it long ago. And the reason why the secret agents didn't find Zhang Feng was that the other party was not in the army of the Holy Lotus Sect at all.
However, what Xu Yang never expected was that Zhang Feng was not only not in the army of the Holy Lotus Sect, but also started from scratch and reorganized an uprising army.
When Ma Zichen heard Xu Yang's words, he was even more curious about this Zhang Feng, and he didn't understand what kind of person this Zhang Feng was, and he actually had unresolved grievances and hatreds with Xu Yang.
"Brother Xu, maybe the secret agent missed this person. After a while, I will order the secret agent to carefully check this person in the Holy Lotus Sect army. Ma Zichen said with a smile.
Xu Yang nodded, although he still didn't know if Zhang Feng was still in the Holy Lotus Sect, but as long as the other party was still in the Holy Lotus Sect, then this time it was just right to clean up Zhang Feng together.
However, Xu Yang was afraid that Zhang Feng was not in the Holy Lotus Sect's army, and muttered, "If Zhang Feng is not in the Holy Lotus Sect's army, where will the other party be?"
Ma Zichen saw Xu Yang muttering there alone, and saw that the sky was darkening, stood up, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you finally came here, and as a good brother, I haven't picked you up yet, so I'm sitting here and chatting with you." Let's go, follow me to dinner!", he pulled Xu Yang and walked towards the place where he was eating.
While eating with Ma Zichen, Xu Yang and the others talked about the old past, and at the same time talked about the various battles in Xiangcheng, so that Xu Yang had an understanding of the situation here in Xiangcheng in advance.
What shocked Xu Yang was that it had been half a year since such a big battle had been fought here in Xiangcheng, and the imperial court had never sent a single soldier to Xiangcheng, let alone asked about the situation here in Xiangcheng, as if the imperial court ignored Xiangcheng and didn't care about it, and let the Holy Lotus Sect seize Xiangcheng.
Before the 500,000 imperial army led by Apo came to Xiangcheng, in addition to some of the soldiers fighting against the Holy Lotus Sect in Xiangcheng were local green battalion soldiers and imperial court troops, the other large part was a temporary army formed by Ma Zichen, and they held on for half a year.
And if Ma Zichen hadn't reached the end of the mountain and was forced to be helpless, how could he have asked Xu Yang for help.
And after the 500,000 troops led by Apo arrived in time, Ma Zichen's urgent need was solved in an instant, otherwise Xiangcheng would definitely be conquered by the Holy Lotus Sect army.
When the 500,000 troops led by Apo joined Xiangcheng, it not only solved the problem of insufficient soldiers, but also solved the problem of food and grass, so that Xiangcheng could hold on to the Holy Lotus Sect for another two or three years.
Xu Yang learned from Ma Zichen's mouth that now all the soldiers in Xiangcheng who can participate in the battle are added together, and there are a total of 700,000. As a result, he learned that the number of soldiers in the Holy Lotus Sect was more than one million, nearly double the number of his own army.
After the 500,000 army led by Ah Po came to Xiangcheng to help in the battle, they also fought with the Holy Lotus Sect three times, but they never met the Thirteen Taibao and others to face the battle, let alone the Sect Leader He.
Xu Yang thought that he knew all about the situation in the Holy Lotus Sect's army, and presumably the matter of his coming to Xiangcheng at this moment had also been known by the Holy Lotus Sect. And if you want to find out the secret agents in Xiangcheng, you will never be able to get rid of them and kill them endlessly.
The next day, Xu Yang asked Ma Zichen to summon all the major generals in Xiangcheng to the lobby to discuss the matter of fighting the Holy Lotus Sect army.
After the main generals in Xiangcheng arrived one by one, Xu Yang became the number one commander of the Xiangcheng Campaign, and Ma Zichen was in charge of army logistics.
Since it was an extraordinary time, the position that was supposed to be Ma Zichen sitting was sat by Xu Yang.
And according to the size of the position of the court officials, Xu Yang is also the largest among the generals, and now most of the soldiers in Xiangcheng are from Xu Yang's subordinates, so naturally all the commands in Xiangcheng are called by Xu Yang.
Xu Yang watched as the generals and officials had arrived, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that there was one less person in the crowd, and this person was Li Guangzhen. He asked, "Have any soldiers called General Li Guangzhen?"
When everyone heard Xu Yang ask about Li Guangzhen, they began to look for each other in the crowd, but they still didn't see each other when they looked around, and they were stunned, puzzled where the other party went, why didn't they come to the lobby to participate in the pre-war meeting?
Seeing that Li Guangzhen was not in the crowd, Ma Zichen hurriedly waved to a guard standing guard at the door, and after the other party came over, he said, "Quickly call General Li Guangzhen! Don't let us wait for a long time, go quickly!"
As a result, all the generals sat in the lobby and waited for Li Guangzhen to arrive, and then began to discuss the operational deployment.
Gradually, everyone saw that the guard who had passed the word came back, but there was no one behind the other party, and they were stunned, and they were even more puzzled where Li Guangzhen went?
When the guard came to the door of the lobby, he arched his hand and said, "Back to my lords, Li Guangzhen is not in the place where he lives. After asking the soldiers around, no one knew where Li Guangzhen went. ā
When everyone heard that Li Guangzhen was not in the place where he lived, they were shocked, and they were very puzzled that it was not yet time to fight, where would the other party go?
When Xu Yang heard that Li Guangzhen was not in the place where he lived, he sneered in his heart, feeling that since the other party met him yesterday, he was afraid that the other party was no longer in Xiangcheng at this moment, and maybe he had already fled.
"Soldier, you immediately look for Li Guangzhen in Xiangcheng. If he could find him, he would immediately let the other party come, and if he could not find the other party, then Li Guangzhen would have left his post without permission and would be punished as a deserter. Ma Zichen ordered.
The guard nodded yes, quickly turned around and left, and then scattered the soldiers to look for Li Guangzhen in Xiangcheng.
However, all the soldiers almost turned Xiangcheng upside down, and they still couldn't find Li Guangzhen's location.
Therefore, Li Guangzhen became the first deserter in Xiangcheng, and Ma Zichen immediately informed the world about Li Guangzhen, a deserter, and said that anyone who knows Li Guangzhen's whereabouts will be rewarded.
However, Ma Zichen and Xu Yang never received Li Guangzhen's whereabouts, as if the other party disappeared from the world overnight.
Over time, everyone also forgot about Li Guangzhen.
