Chapter 65: The Battle of the Two Lakes (2) Falls

Huzhou is the starting place of the White Lotus Sect, and it is also the main direction of Xiao Yu's army, and it is also the place where Luo Zengxian's million-strong army is stationed to the outside world, and its strategic position is not insignificant. This time, Xiao Yu attacked Huzhou, with his close confidant Zhuge Gong as the vanguard officer, and ordered Han Xiong to lead an army of 30,000 to follow closely and slowly advance. Han Xiong used his troops bravely, but he was not cautious, Zhuge Gong was more than steady, and he was not enough strange. In the final analysis, Xiao Yu still prefers Wei Ban with a spiritual force, but Wei Ban was seriously injured, and after recuperating in Jincheng for a period of time, he has returned to Zhongdu to recuperate, and Min Xing was thrown into Hanzhong by Xiao Yu, which leads to Xiao Yu now feeling overstretched in terms of employing people.

In the big tent of the Huzhou march, Han Xiong was wearing armor that was one size bigger than ordinary people, and he was looking intently at the terrain map of Huzhou on the case in front of him. Han Xiong's first impression is that he is a rough man, but in fact, he was able to climb all the way to the position of the right governor of the central capital after Xiao Yu took power, which shows that he is by no means a reckless man with a mushy head.

On Han Xiong's side, there was an old man with a goatee, slightly rickety, his eyes were cloudy, this person's name was Zheng Qiao, born in the Zheng family in Shu, he got acquainted with Han Xiong in the process of "welcoming the king into Shu", and was now invited by Han Xiong to the tent. He was reporting the latest battle situation to the main general, "Zhuge Dutong sent news that his 5,000 vanguard army defeated Luo Zengxian's 20,000 defenders at the mouth of the Danjiang River, and has now crossed the old estuary and approached Gucheng. Xiangfan two places, these two are important towns in Huzhou, its importance is no less than the sword pavilion in Shuzhou, if it can be captured, it can be driven straight into Jingmen, and then take Jiangling, so that the ancient Jingzhou is all in the hands of our army, and retreat can also be defended, sit and wait for the prince's army to enter the lake, steady and steady, then foolproof. ”

Han Xiong tapped his finger on the map and said to himself, "Don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault?"

Zheng Qiao said in a low voice: "Doesn't the governor want to be a camp palm seal official? ”

Han Xiong's action of tapping his fingers suddenly paused, and he said in a deep voice, "What does Mr. Zheng mean?"

Zheng Qiao said softly: "As long as this Huzhou is captured, it will inevitably set up a camp." Does the Governor think so?"

Han Xiong nodded slightly.

Zheng Qiao stroked his beard lightly and continued: "Although I don't know why Min Xing was removed from the camp seal officer, judging from Min Xing's reaction, it is still the prince who takes advantage of it. Moreover, at the moment, Wei Ban was seriously injured, and Uncle Guo went to be the Palm Seal Officer of the Sword Pavilion Camp again, and there were only a few people left who could compete for the position of the Seal Officer of the Camp, it was a once-in-a-lifetime good time for the Governor, didn't the Governor want to go further?"

Han Xiong didn't speak, but sat on the wide chair covered with heavy fur, holding his forehead in contemplation.

The situation in the two lakes is very complicated, there are official troops here, there are "righteous army" of the White Lotus Sect, and even the "private army" raised by the major Jiangnan families, and this is also the granary of the world, which is related to the future food source of the northwest. In other words, it is very difficult to be the seal officer of the camp here, and many of the problems in it can not be solved simply by force suppression, Han Xiong is very self-aware, knowing that the two lakes are the top priority, and if he is not careful, he will be dealt with by the prince's military law, so he does not think about this position.

In Han Xiong's opinion, the most suitable person to sit in this position is Lan Yu, and now Lan Yu is the palm seal officer of the Shaanxi Central Camp, if Xiao Yu transfers Lan Yu to Lianghu, it is definitely not a luxury to fight for a palm seal official of the Shaanxi Central Camp.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to take Gucheng, then attack Xiangyang and Xiangfan, drive straight into Jingmen, take Jiangling, and lay the foundation for further progress in the future.

At this moment, an old man in a purple robe walked into the big tent.

Han Xiong immediately stood up from his chair and said with a smile: "Zi Lao, why did you come here in person, it is really a distinguished guest who has come to the door, and I hope that Zi Lao will forgive your sins." ”

The person who came was Zi Shuiyang, although he did not hold an official position in the Northwest Army, but his cultivation was excellent, and he was Xiao Yu's confidant, and his qualifications were still above Qu Cang, even if it was Xu Lin, he would have to give him three points of face.

Zi Shuiyang smiled faintly, calmly accepted Han Xiong's courtesy, and said, "The prince asked me to come over, and there are some things that I have to explain clearly in person." ”

Han Xiong stretched out his hand and asked, "Elder Zi, please take a seat." ”

Zi Shuiyang did not sit in Han Xiong's position, but sat on the first chair on the left hand, Han Xiong did not force it, and after waving his hand to let Zheng Qiao retreat, he sat on the chair opposite Zi Shuiyang and asked, "What did Zi Lao teach me this time?"

Zi Shuiyang said softly: "The White Lotus Sect can't beat it in the front, so I'm going to play Yin, and the prince asked me to come over just in case." ”

Han Xiong's face suddenly became solemn.

Zi Shuiyang put his hands on his knees, his face expressionless.

Just when the entire Central Plains was in a scuffle, Houjian, who had been eyeing the Central Plains, was rare and quiet.

Not only did there be no sign of moving troops southward, but even all the armies were facing the enemy.

Because there was a man who came to Houjian.

The sect master of the Sword Sect, the Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen.

The second person on the Tianji list, the first person to be slaughtered in the world.

In the face of Shangguan Xianchen, who can make the world shake with one person and one sword, the Great Elder of the Houjian Demon Sect finally appeared for the first time in more than ten years, and the four elders of the southeast, northwest, and northwest also gathered, and the hospitality of the five people in the free realm can be called the best in the world.

Shangguan Xianchen secretly went north to Houjian, the original intention was to contact Houjian to fight against the Dao Sect, but he never thought that Xiao Jin was caught by the Dao Sect, and then he explained the beginning and end of this series of things, and then the real person in charge of the sect was behind the scenes again, taking this opportunity to let Shangguan Xianchen face the five elders of the Demon Sect head-on.

Daozong, Du Tianfeng, Zixiao Palace.

Purple smoke rises, two real people sit on the cloud bed and play against each other, outside the window is the sea of clouds rolling, the two seem to be immortals.

The real person in the sky is black, and the real person in charge is white.

Nearly two hundred children fell, and Tianchen threw himself in defeat.

Tianchen sat cross-legged, looking at the big dragon that he had been slaughtered on the chessboard, and said with some embarrassment: "Senior brother's chess strength is so deep that junior brother can't reach it." ”

The head of Zichen personally put the chess pieces back into the chess box, and said: "Playing chess lies in the layout, whether it is the first move, or the end of the game, it is nothing more than to make this game more detailed and dense, I heard the story of a rotten Ke man when I was a child, a game of chess has been played for a hundred years, and I have been playing this game for 30 years, and it is time to end." ”

Tianchen asked, "What is the geometric amount of thirty years?"

Zichen twisted a slightly cool chess piece made of white jade with his fingers, and said: "One hundred and fifty-six fallen pieces, two of the twenty abandoned pieces, fifty grapes, and eighty-four chess pieces remaining." ”

Tianchen sighed with emotion: "I wonder if Tianchen is also among the eighty-four chess pieces?"

Zichen smiled but said nothing.

Tianchen didn't delve into it, and instead asked, "Where is Hou Jian?"

Zichen said indifferently: "Although the Central Plains is where Tianyuan is located, and Houjian is just a corner of the land, but Brother Wei did have twelve sons here in his early years, of which seven sons have been raised, two sons have become abandoned sons, and there are still three sons." ”

Tianchen praised sincerely: "Senior brother, this game of chess has already included the world, and Shangguan Xianchen can't escape." ”

Zichen put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, "Among the four elders of the Demon Sect, one of the elders in the southeast, south, and northwest of the Demon Sect has surrendered to his brother many years ago, Senior Brother Tianchen might as well guess which elder it is." ”

This time, Tianchen was completely shocked, and it took a long time to come to his senses, shaking his head and sighing: "Elder Li Xu of the East is the number two person in the Houjian Demon Sect, if it is still possible to cooperate, it is absolutely impossible to surrender to Cheng, Elder North was defeated by Xiao Lie's hands and disappeared into the Eastern Capital, the possibility is not great, the rest are the West Elder with a strange temperament and the uncertain South Elder, as for which elder it is, I am not familiar with the temperament of those two, it is not good to talk nonsense." ”

The true person of the Sect of Masters, who had already proven immortality, shook his head and smiled: "It's not that complicated, you don't have to look at anyone's temperament, I will put Xiao Yu in the Northwest Star Position, and whoever of the four elders of the Demon Sect has never made a move on Xiao Yu is." ”

Tianchen was shocked and unspeakable, and asked, "When will it end?"

The real person in charge of the sect smiled and said: "Tian Yuan robbed the child, it was empty at this time, and Tian Yuan fell again, and survived in death is the beginning of the closing." ”
