Chapter Twenty-Three: The War Is Coming

"Grandpa, Qianzhou is in chaos."

Shen Yu saw the richest man in the world and directly told the information he had obtained.

He has been paying attention to Zhao Cheng, although there is no accurate news many times, but whether it is the Wuchang Song Lian incident, or the Banzhou Yang incident, or now the Pingyue assassination incident, every case hides the shadow of Zhao Cheng......

Obviously, his fellow brothers have been hiding behind the scenes, secretly manipulating all this.

It is worthy of being his brother of Shen Zhuo, and it is worthy of being a demon existence killed from the dungeon of the imperial court, that god and demon Zhao Cheng is really bold and has unparalleled power......

Horrible, very scary.

"Messy ......" The old man is very old, much older than Song Lian's guy.

But his physical fitness seems to be much better than Song Lian.

It is estimated that they will live for more than ten years, or even decades.

"Grandpa, our opportunity has come, control Qujing's army, directly enter Qianzhou, destroy the 100,000 army of the imperial court in one fell swoop, and further control Yungui, the imperial court has nothing to do with us, and even the south has two Guangxi rebellions, we can unite with them......"

Shen Yu was very bold, and as soon as he came, he persuaded the richest man to make a move, and used his hidden powerful power to attack Qianzhou.

His fellow brother, known as gods and demons in the rivers and lakes, has mysterious power and countless secrets, and is definitely a person who does great things.

Moreover, his father rebelled in Liangguang, and now he has occupied Liangguang for more than a few months, and his power is becoming more and more stable under the painstaking management, and it is not easy for the imperial court to take it!

What's more, he is now close to Qianzhou, which is disturbing the situation in Qianzhou and greatly restraining the imperial army.

It is even more difficult for the imperial court to take Yunnan and then pacify Liangguang!

This is their Shen family's chance, a chance to take revenge!

Shen Zhuo was very excited and hoped to get the support of his grandfather.

If the richest man has the full support, the Shen family's forces will inevitably burst out with even more terrifying combat power and influence.

Great things can be done!

The richest man, his full name is Shen Wansan, and the existence of the legendary rich rival country.

It is rumored that before Zhu Chongba dominated the world, it was Shen Wansan, the richest man, who fully supported him, and consumed a lot of manpower, financial and material resources for Zhu Chongba......

It can be said that the most important factors for Zhu Chongba to conquer the world are Queen Ma and the Red Turban Army left by Guo Zixing, and the second important factor is Shen Wansan's huge wealth and material support at any cost.

The second factor is his group of good brothers who can fight well.

The last factor is Zhu Chongba himself!

Shen Wansan's contribution to Zhu Chongba's career, Zhu Chongba can't afford it for the rest of his life.

The construction of the Imperial City of Yingtianfu alone is a great feat.

But it's a pity that Shen Wansan has done so much for the Ming Empire, but in the end, he was not treated fairly.

Zhu Chongba is disgusted with the rich and loves the poor, brutally exploited, killed countless people, full of evil, as strong as the Shen family, and was also suppressed by the imperial court, the huge family and huge wealth were all occupied by the imperial court, and the old and young were even sent to the frontier and came to this border Yunnan, which almost no one cared about.

Fortunately, Shen Wansan has made countless feats and benefited thousands of people, and a large number of powerful families have their cause and effect, and a large number of powerful ministers in the current dynasty have received his favor......

With the help of a huge network of contacts and the support of huge hidden wealth, the Shen family was able to survive the suppression of the imperial court.

Now away from the imperial city, away from Yingtianfu, it is a blessing.

It's just that Shen Wan is three years old, and he no longer has the intention of fighting fiercely, and he just wants to live in a corner of peace and spend the rest of his life in peace.

A brilliant life, in the end, is a passing thing, and I have already seen everything.

Those fame and fortune are like overseas poison, making people lose themselves, and they will be obsessed with madness for the rest of their lives, which is meaningless.

The old man only wishes to enjoy his old age in peace!

But it's a pity that the family he left behind is too big, and the interests involved are too wide, and it is no longer something that can be done simply by washing his hands.

At least his sons, grandchildren, were not reconciled.

I don't want the Shen family to do nothing, and I don't want to let alone ten or twenty years later, there will be no voice from the Shen family in the world.

In order to seek opportunities, Shen Zhuo ran outside, went to Ying Tianfu, and did a lot of risky things......

Heaven had mercy, and he met his fellow brother Zhao Cheng, that god-like man, who gave him hope!

Now, Shen Yu has finally found an opportunity, and there is hope to regain everything the Shen family deserves.

The Shen family is very powerful, even if Hongwu was almost raided in the early years.

But fortunately, it was not exterminated, and now it has been dormant in Yunnan for more than ten years and is gradually recovering.

The Shen family has made friends with all over the world, has ties with all the major local ethnic groups, has a close relationship, and secretly supports many forces like a fortune boy.

Like the uprising in Liangguang, there is the shadow of the Shen family behind it, with the huge financial support of the Shen family, and there is also a large amount of material support.

For another example, many powerful people in Yunnan today are inextricably linked with the Shen family, and the bones are still connected to the tendons......

The influence of the Shen family is very great, and the Duan family, which has been deeply cultivated in Yunnan for hundreds of years, has a close relationship with the Shen family.

If the Shen family really wants to do something, Yunnan will also tremble.

"The old man is old and useless, you can do whatever you want, the old man can't manage it, and he doesn't want to take care of ......it."

Shen Wansan was playing Tai Chi and doing some exercises to strengthen his body, and he didn't care much about the words of his eldest grandson.

Whatever they want.

You can do whatever you want.

It doesn't matter anymore.

He worked hard for most of his life, but in the end, he was slashed in the back by junior Zhu Chongba, and almost capsized in the gutter.

Now that the Shen family has survived, it can be regarded as a blessing for many years of good deeds and virtues.

His old man doesn't have a few years to live, and the Shen family is going to hand it over to these little rabbit cubs after all.

Let them toss around!

If successful, the family will continue to be inherited and rich for hundreds of years.

If it fails, it's just a raid on the family!

Whatever they are!

Getting the old man's words, Shen Zhuo was not happy, but he was not disappointed either.

As a result, it was also expected.

The old man's sharpness has disappeared, and he cultivates immortals all day long and asks, the more he lives, the more he looks like an old immortal.

That's it!

He and his father and uncles make decisions!

This time the opportunity is hard to find, and the Shen family must seize it.

The Ming Empire must pay the price.

For those heroes who died unjustly, for those who died tragically, and for those capable people who were not treated fairly......

Get justice!

……

Zhao Cheng didn't know about the changes in the Shen family, along with the weird atmosphere in Yunnan and Qujing's hidden murderous intentions, Zhao Cheng didn't know either.

Today, he is still in Maixincheng, watching the changes in all parties, looking for opportunities, and waiting for opportunities.

He didn't bring all of his own troops, only about thirty people.

These people, all of whom are his elite, have been carefully cultivated, have extraordinary insight, extraordinary will, and extraordinary ability.

He took these people with him, on the one hand, for actual combat training, and on the other hand, for convenience.

Shuidong Song's move caused a shock from all sides as early as a few days ago, and many preparations were made to guard against sudden changes.

Fu Youde has been cultivating for 20 days, and he has recovered from 7788, personally presiding over the situation in Pingyue, mobilizing all parties, and exploring the truth of each case.

Of course, he is also actively responding to the changes in the water hole.

A number of envoys have been sent to contact Song Yuanjian, wanting to have an open and honest dialogue, exchange the results of the investigation between the two sides, and try to try to resolve this storm in the beginning.

It is true that although he does not want a direct conflict with the Shuidong Song clan, he does not want the situation in Qianzhou to be chaotic and unstable.

But that wasn't a reason for him to be afraid of war.

If the contradictions cannot be reconciled, he must fight.

Even if he falls for the person behind him, and lets others reap the benefits, he Fu Youde will never back down.

The imperial court sent 300,000 troops, and these 300,000 are elites, if you really want to count them, the army plus labor is nearly a million troops.

Fu Youde is a general of the expedition to the south, in charge of the three armies, in a word, he can launch a million-level war, which directly affects the interests and life and death of hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

What's more, behind him is the entire Da Ming.

In the thirteen years since the founding of Hongwu, after so many years of development, the national strength has been greatly improved, with millions of elite soldiers, and with all their might, they can plow Yungui three feet into the ground......

What's the matter!

……

To the east of Mai Xincheng, the Shuidong army is stationed here.

"Patriarch, Pingyue Yingchuan Marquis Fu Youde sent an envoy who wants to see you."

A Song general reported, waiting for Song Yuanjian's instructions.

"See Lao Tzu? Is Lao Tzu what he can see if he wants? I think Lao Tzu is a mushroom in the green building, and you can see it if you want to see it? ”

The madman Song Yuanjian scolded angrily, not giving face to the court at all, nor giving Fu Youde any face, "Drag it out and cut it!" ”

Fu Youde almost died in Pingyue, and it was absolutely impossible for him to act as if it hadn't happened.

The sky in Qianzhou has changed!

This is his Song Yuanjian's opportunity, an opportunity to bite people around like a mad dog.

He suppressed it for forty years, and the first bite after completely relaxing was, of course, biting the army of the imperial court.

In this way, it is strong!

Ten years of sharpening a sword, this first sword is until it is about to be cut at the point.

What's more, he Song Yuanjian has been grinding for forty years?!

Of course, to bite on the fat thighs of the supreme today!

And the imperial army that expeditioned to Yunnan was one of the thighs of Emperor Hongwu!

"Patriarch ......"

The general was too frightened to believe his ears.

What does it mean to kill the emissary of the imperial court?

"What? Do you want to die too? ”

Song Yuanjian's eyes were raised, with a hint of killing intent, with the support of the mysterious team that night, he quickly mastered the Song clan after killing a large number of people, and now the entire Song clan has the final say.

He is the well-deserved emperor of the soil and the supreme existence of the Song family.

What he says, that's what it is!

"No, no, no......"

The general lay on the ground, unable to control the trembling of his body, and then hurriedly ran out.

Watching the timid guy run out, Song Yuanjian smiled disdainfully, and then looked at the envelope between his fingers with a little solemnity.

This was transmitted back from Yunnan.

The former No. 1 family in Jiangnan actually sent him news, which was really unexpected.

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Shen family has been deeply cultivated in Yunnan for more than ten years, and has a good influence in the entire southwest region, and it seems that they also want to avenge the revenge of the past......

He~hehe~ Some of them have played in Qianzhou, and some of them have to play in the southwest. ”

Song Yuanjian knew very well that although the Shen family had been dormant for more than ten years, they were even slashed in the back by Zhu Chongba of the Ming Dynasty and almost destroyed in the Central Plains......

But this family's power is too terrifying, it has unparalleled control in the rivers and lakes, and it also has intricate interests for powerful families in many regions.

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen!

From a small point, you can see the whole picture!

For example, the Shen family has unparalleled control over the southwest economy.

For another example, they extended their hands to all major strata in Yunnan and almost controlled the military, government, commerce and agriculture in Yunnan.

If they wanted, the imperial court would not be able to mobilize enough grain, grass and materials in the southwest, and it would be possible to knock out grain from the hands of the major forces unless they were under iron-blooded means.

Even, if the Shen family is willing, they can directly erect the Yuan Liang King in Yunnan, and they can control Yunnan in a short time.

Now that the imperial court army is about to be overwhelmed, the Shen family will never remain indifferent......

"Perhaps, those people may be from the Shen family~"

Song Yuanjian guessed the identities of Zhao Cheng and the others.

He was very afraid of Zhao Cheng, especially the weapons they had, the kind of unparalleled lethality, Song Yuanjian was also terrified.

This is still one of them, in his speculation, the Banzhou grain and grass incident and the Pingyue assassination incident were all committed by these people.

Although Zhao Cheng didn't admit it that night.

But denying it or not, it doesn't matter at all!

Now that Song Yuanjian has completely mastered the Shuidong Song Clan, he clearly understands many details of these incidents, such terrifying means and abilities, he can't be afraid of them.

Outside the barracks, a Song general led a team of people and quickly besieged the envoys sent by Fu Youde.

These envoys were shocked, not knowing what the hell the Song clan was trying to do.

An emissary aware of the crisis struggled with fear, his eyes full of fear.

"You look for death, you look for death......"

He shouted two sentences, and when the Song people raised their knives and fell, their heads rolled and blood gushed out.

The rest finally realized something and struggled violently.

"The court will not let you go, the court will not let you go......"

"The army is pressing, you will all die, you will all die~"

In the screams, in the gushing of blood, in the terrifying scene of the human body rolling, Fu Youde's messengers were all beheaded.

……

Pingyue, the city lord's mansion.

Fu Youde didn't wait for the messenger's message, but he waited for the news of Banzhou.

"Master Hou, after Jinyiwei has determined in many ways, the weapons that appeared in these incidents are all related to the traitor Zhao Cheng.

Even the commander of Jinyi Wei said that he had drunk peerless wine in Song Lian, which was suspected to be Moutai, the national liquor taken out by Banzhou Yang......

……”

Chen Huan was originally in Banzhou, urging the Banzhou Yang family to raise materials, grain and grass, but after the Pingyue Incident, he was also running around to determine the news of all parties, and finally rushed to Pingyue.

"Hmph, little Banzhou, dare to tease Ben Hou like this?" Hearing the report of his generals, Fu Youde became more and more angry.

At the beginning, the Banshu fire, he felt that something was wrong.

There are 40,000 troops stationed in the Yang military camp, how can ordinary people get in?

Without their support, this would not have been possible.

What's more, 40,000 people can't extinguish a fire, and now that I think about it, it's also full of doubts.

Based on the current survey results, this Banzhou Yang is definitely not a good dog.

"Leave the troops on full precautions, and don't be careless in the direction of Banshu......"

Fu Youde deployed like this, and the 100,000 army must have at least 40,000 to guard against the direction of Banzhou.

Otherwise, if the Banzhou Yang family bites him in the back, the imperial army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

This situation is absolutely unacceptable to Fu Youde!

But just as he gave the order, the news of Mai Xincheng came back.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye is not good, Li Si and the others were cut down by Shuidong Song Yuanjian......"

Wang Bi was also extremely shocked when he got the news, but he still ran in to report it as soon as possible.

"What?"

Hearing the news, Fu Youde couldn't believe it.

A little water hole, and dare to cut his messenger?

This is, a blatant provocation, a blatant declaration of war!

"Master Hou, the scout in front came back with a message, Li Si and the others were cut down by the Song family before they saw Song Yuanjian, and no one survived......"

Wang Bi is also a battle-hardened general, and it is the first time he has seen such an unruly madman.

Worthy of it, madman!

"How can this be justified, how can this be justified......"

Fu Youde was furious, he had been famous for so long, and he had never been so angry.

Even if it was the assassination that night, he was more afraid and, of course, angry.

But compared to today's anger, it is a full order of magnitude worse.

The two armies fought, but they did not cut them down.

This Shuidong Song clan is nominally subservient to the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a Ming courtier, but now the atmosphere is so tense, and he doesn't want to have in-depth exchanges to resolve the contradictions, so he even killed the envoy......

This is, a blatant provocation!

"Wang Bi, prepare the army, prepare for war......"

Fu Youde hated it so much that he directly gave an order to prepare for the war.

He originally wanted to convince people with virtue, stabilize Qianzhou, and prepare a good rear for them to attack Yunnan.

But now, if you don't wash Qianzhou again, it is impossible to attack Yunnan smoothly!

In that case, then get ready for war!

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Wang Bi did not hesitate, and began to mobilize after pushing down.

The Shuidong Song clan must pay a heavy price for this move.

Mai Xincheng, in the courtyard where Zhao Cheng temporarily lived.

"Company commander, that Song Yuanjian is too crazy, he actually killed Fu Youde's envoy, six messengers, none of them were spared!"

Hua 13 was very shocked, he led a team of people to contact the secret agent of Shuixi, and obtained this news for the first time, if it wasn't for the secret agent to confirm it again and again, he couldn't believe that it was true.

“……”

Zhao Cheng was also taken aback, but not overly shocked.

Song Yuan saw that Song was crazy, how could he do it if he didn't go crazy?

"Withdraw the people from Shuixi, you also pay attention to your own safety, don't rely too much on the junction of ** Yue and Mai Xincheng, how long has it been tense, finally a big show has come......"

Zhao Cheng pondered for a moment and began to give instructions.

Song Yuanjian's move was simply a declaration of war.

War, not far away!

"Yes!"

Hua 13 and the others acted quickly to ensure their own safety, and while they were also searching for various news.

By now, they can more or less understand the purpose of the company commander.

If this war starts, then they may have another task.

"Fu Youde's army is preparing for war, and it has made sufficient preparations for war......"

"A large number of people in the water cave pretend to be civilians and force ** over!"

"Pingyue enforces military management, and only enters and is not allowed to leave."

"Song Yuanjian disappeared ......"

"Nearly 10,000 troops in Shuidong moved quickly, as if they were going to take the initiative to attack."

"Song Yuanjian appeared, and he took the initiative to attack."
