Chu Shuiqing saw that his wife didn't understand, so he had to explain: "Some people in our sect estimate that Cheng Shaoqing may have to use a knife against the Fire Spirit Sect. ”

Yulian asked puzzledly, "How is this possible?" My brother and they are still preparing for the uprising of the believers in the Demon City, and they want to welcome Generalissimo Chiang. How is it possible that it will attack us? ”

"Lee Do-chun is a very meticulous person." Chu Shuiqing said, "There is a good chance that what he said will not be false, so this time I decided to listen to him." Seeing that Mrs. was so frightened that her face turned pale, Chu Shuiqing took Mrs. Hand's hand and said, "Madam, you will stay here today, and leave quietly tomorrow morning, you go to Jiangcheng, and I will also leave Cheng Dashuai within three days, and we will meet in Jiangcheng." ”

The two are looking at each other, when they are in love. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and Chu Shuiqing hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

"Chu is guarded, the generalissimo is invited."

Jiang Yulian said: "Brother Qing, you must be careful." ”

Chu Shuiqing comforted his wife and said, "It's okay." ”

Chu Shuiqing came to Cheng Shaoqing's Chinese army tent and asked the guard's personal soldiers to go in to report. Cheng Shaoqing sat in the tent, and Chu Shuiqing came to Cheng Shaoqing's bookcase.

"Generalissimo, the young general is here to follow the orders of the marshal."

Cheng Shaoqing nodded: "You go and draft a reply letter to the Demon City General Altar." ”

"May I ask you, what is the content of the letter?"

"Well, what about those people in Jiangcheng, now they want to make trouble with me, I said to establish a temporary capital in Luling, they have to be in Jiangcheng, do you know what the purpose is?" After Cheng Shaoqing finished speaking, he looked at Chu Shuiqing with a tentative look.

Chu Shuiqing said: "I don't know, please make it clear to the generalissimo." “

Cheng Shaoqing nodded: "They just want Yin Changsheng to come back and go to Jiangcheng to be my White Lotus Sect." ”

"Understood."

"Well," Cheng Shaoqing said: "Shui Qing, in fact, you know my mind best." A sect, a leader, and an army cannot have two heads. Two heads, one says east and one says west, so how can we fight? So, what kind of checks and balances are these people trying to have? It's not about our people, but also about the Fire Spirit Sect's Guan Shouyi, they also have ulterior motives. ”

Cheng Shaoqing said as he carefully observed Chu Shuiqing. Chu Shuiqing's surface was silent, but beads of sweat flowed slightly from his sideburns. Cheng Shaoqing continued: "They, the gang of people who followed Jiangcheng parroted their tongues, and they also shouted to support the Yin Immortal. ”

"The generalissimo understands what Shui Qing said, so I'll go back and draft the palindrome, and ask the generalissimo to review it early tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

"Generalissimo, Shui Qing has a question for you."

"If you have any questions, just say it."

"The generalissimo has always had prejudices against Guan Zhangjiao, and Shui Qing understands it. Three months ago, Shui Qing recuperated in the Demon City due to illness, and I also wrote a letter to you, relaying Guan Zhangjiao's opinion, and urging you not to doubt the Fire Spirit Sect and avoid the loss of the situation of the union of the two religions. ”

"I received this letter from you, and I read it, and I read it more than once."

"Generalissimo, Shui Qing's idea is that the Fire Spirit Sect has been trying its best to maintain its cooperation with the White Lotus Sect and is doing things that are beneficial to the Northern Expedition, I don't know what you think?"

"Are they doing something that is beneficial to the Northern Expedition?" Cheng Shaoqing suddenly became angry when he heard this, he couldn't contain his anger, stood up and pushed down his water cup to the ground, and said, "They are demolishing the platform of the Northern Expedition, don't you know?" Now you have not heard such and such opinions in the army. I can't just listen to whatever I say. ”

"But," Chu Shuiqing was about to argue, but Cheng Shaoqing waved his hand to stop him.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say it," Cheng Shaoqing shook his hand, "Let's not talk about this issue anymore." Chu Shuiqing's expression was embarrassed, and Cheng Shaoqing said, "You are a disciple of the fire spirit, I have advised you many times, don't do anything with them again." ”

"Shui Qing," Cheng Shaoqing said in a serious tone, "I value you very much, you know, as long as you are willing to follow me all the time, I can promote you to general." ”

"What the generalissimo does to Shui Qing, Shui Qing understands in his heart."

Cheng Shaoqing thought that his wish to seal the official had an effect, so he smiled and said: "It's good to understand, the virtuous minister chooses the lord and the good bird perches on the tree." He patted Chu Shuiqing on the shoulder, "You are a smart person, and the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie." ”

"Yes!" Chu Shuiqing gave a deep salute, "Then I'll go back and draft the reply." This gift, Chu Shuiqing is grateful to Cheng Shaoqing for his kindness all the time, although Cheng Shaoqing is not thin in serving himself. However, this is not a matter of choosing the master, as a disciple of the fire spirit, even if he is burned by the fire, his will will never change. How can you care about making a wish?

Cheng Shaoqing thought that Chu Shuiqing was completely subdued by himself, and couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart: "Go, go, go." ”

The Northern Expeditionary Army continued to advance towards Huiji Jiangsu and the Magic City.

That Lingwu Zhenren panicked, and could only ask for help from Xuanji Daoren.

Xuanji Taoist also belongs to the post-Tujiao lineage, this person is old and treacherous, wait-and-see ignorance, and wants to sit back and reap the benefits of "snipe and clam competition". The White Lotus Army then took advantage of the victory to take Jiangcheng. Seeing that the general trend had gone, the generals of the Later Tujiao were shaken, and the generals of the White Lotus Army sent people to contact them, moving them to submit, and then turned their main forces to the east and attacked the Xuanji Dao people.

Another battlefield is the Luling and Jiuhua battlefields against the Xuanji Daoists. The White Lotus Army served as the combat mission was the Tianxuan Army, the Tianji Army, and the Kaiyang Army. They marched to Luling in September, and the Kaiyang army soon captured Hongcheng. However, in the face of the fierce counterattack of the Xuanji Daoren's Houtu military horses, the Tianji Army, which served as the vanguard officer of the White Lotus Army, joined the army Xiongsen on the pretext of saying that "the first to enter Wang Zhi" did not allow the officers and soldiers of Tianji to assist the Kaiyang Army. As a result, the Kaiyang army held Hongcheng for three days, and the soldiers were exhausted and had to retreat.

Cheng Shaoqing saw that the "Ningzhou Native Army" was fighting smoothly, the momentum was like a bamboo, and he was very meritorious, and he was afraid that in order to preserve his strength, he would not let go of the descendants of the Tianshu Army to fight, which would cause them to return in vain and make his face disgraced, so he sent the tiger soldiers of Xi Chunfang, a subordinate of the Tianshu Army, composed of disciples of the Quan Ju Tang, to Hongcheng to make meritorious contributions.

Cheng Shaoqing never dreamed that the tiger army led by Xi Chunfang, who he regarded as a pearl, had just arrived in Yangle, and something went wrong, and none of the officers above the thousand generals lived in the camp, and all of them went out to have fun.

Cheng Shaoqing received Xi Chunfang's military report, jumped to his feet and scolded: "Kill the three soft sons, why did you ...... during the Eastern Crusade" Speaking of this, he seemed to have an understanding and immediately stopped talking. It turned out that he remembered that during the Eastern Expedition, there was Li Daochun of the Fire Spirit Sect in the army, and there were Fire Spirit disciples at every level below, and day after day, he lectured to the officers and soldiers about "defeating the five elements and hanging the people to fight crimes", so the troops had good military discipline and strong combat effectiveness.
