Chapter 20 Analysis of the situation
"By the way, may I ask Brother Li Xian, what is the relationship between Li Qing, the Chuiyun Sword back then, and Brother Xian?" Xiao Yangge suddenly asked.
"It's my father. Li Zhong replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yangge and the others in the Valley of Forgotten Worries were all secretly shocked.
Li Qing is a generation of heroes of the Sanhe Sword Sect, with a cloud and sword qi in one hand, and his practice can be described as superb, with the cross sword technique of "the sky is full of clouds and wilderness, and the river sky is covered with snow and sand", he was shocked by the world, but at the age of twenty, he became a generation of grandmaster-level figures.
At a time when all the armies of the Great Song Dynasty were in a frenzied civil war, Li Dian had only a sword, subdued the various factions of the Sanhe Sword Sect, and then invited the Song Emperor to order him to raise troops for the Northern Expedition with the lone army of Xiangyang, and directly entered the border of Nanyang County.
At that time, Su Mengzhen had just succeeded to the throne, and hurriedly gathered the forces that he could use to resist Li Qing's offensive.
However, if there are self-taught military geniuses in this world, Li Qing is definitely one of them.
In front of the three thousand Sanhe warriors, although Su Mengzhen, who lacked combat experience, had superior troops, he was defeated repeatedly, and he failed to win once, so he had to withdraw all the men and horses of the Shentang from Nanyang County, retreat into the Sanchuan area, and rely on the dangerous defense of Funiu Mountain and Songshan Mountain.
At that time, on the Guanzhong side, the Four Pillars Kingdom was fighting endlessly, and they needed to deal with the chaotic situation in Liangzhou, so they did not plan to reinforce, and once considered completely abandoning Nanyang County, which also weakened the strength of the Shentang.
And Li Qing planned to climb over the Songshan Heavenly Danger, take Mengjin directly, capture 7ā, wwā„w. Sanchuan, and annihilate the shrine in one fell swoop. Some of his subordinates even made a wild statement: "Before the age of thirty, the master of the door will be able to take over the world!"
However, the result was dramatic, Li Qing was eager to expand, and did not completely subdue the factions, and his thunderous methods caused a lot of hatred within the Three Rivers Sword Sect.
When the army marched on the sheep intestine path near Shaomu Mountain, the leader of the Zhushan Sect of the Three Rivers Sword Sect, Lan Lidaoren, launched a mutiny, and ten thousand arrows were fired, and even Li Qingxiu was shot into a sieve in an instant.
As soon as Li Qing died, the whole army was in chaos, and he was forced to sign a peace treaty with Su Mengzhen and retreat to Xiangyang, after which, the Sanhe Sword Sect fell into infighting.
It was in the process of fighting Li Qing that Su Mengzhen accumulated a wealth of combat experience. After Li Qing's death, Su Mengzhen quickly launched a counterattack, not only recovering all the lost territory in Nanyang County, but also sending troops to attack the territory of Xiangyang County.
The Sanhe Sword Sect had to ask the Song Emperor for help, so the Great Song Emperor came forward to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou side, so that Shentang and the Sanhe Sword Sect negotiated peace again and divided the border.
After that, Su Mengzhen stopped going south and began to attack eastward, capturing the seventeen cities placed by the Great Qi Dynasty in Nanyang County, and informed the Great Zhou side that he requested to send officials to garrison and collect taxes. Because of this incident, Su Mengzhen was rewarded and brought closer to the Great Zhou court. The Great Zhou Dynasty also had to turn a blind eye to Su Mengzhen's behavior of attacking various wealthy clans and ** forces within the scope of his control and taking them under his wing.
If Li Zhong held a grudge against Li Qing's death, he sneaked up from the rear when Su Mengzhen led the Shentang soldiers and horses to attack Xue Yiren......
The Valley of Forgotten Worries is far away in the east of the river, although it is also a part of the Divine Hall, but in this war, at most, it will only pay money and food, and will not send people to directly participate in the war. However, this battle is related to the status of the entire shrine in the future.
But he heard Li Zhong say again: "Is Lord Xiao Gu worried that someone Li will stab him from behind? This battle is an internal matter of the Great Zhou, and the Great Song Dynasty is also in a civil war now, and the Shenxiao Dao in Jingzhou and the Qingcheng faction in Yizhou in the west are fighting fiercely, and Shenxiao Dao is the suzerain of the Sanhe Sword Sect, so our Sanhe Sword Sect also has to send troops to support, where can we find time? Not to mention that if a Li person wants to sneak attack, will he still talk to you about this matter here?"
"What's more, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, there will be deaths and injuries, the death of my father is not directly related to the master of the Su hall, the master of the Su hall is bright and fair, a hero, and Li is also very admired. ā
Hearing Li Zhong say this, Xiao Yangge relieved his heart and said, "Brother Li Xian is really an extraordinary person......
Wu Feng listened to the flattery between them, with a smile on his face, and just watched quietly.
This is a troubled time, and what is hidden under the staggered planning is the changing political situation, and betrayal and murder can be staged at every moment. The state system seems to be a dead letter, and has been replaced by a system of dogs and sects, with large and small factions fighting openly and secretly for their respective spheres of influence. Every inch of the earth's skin has been burned by the flames of war and stained with the blood of the people.
In the subsequent conversation, Wu Feng also said a few words to Li Zhong, but Wu Feng is a junior disciple, of course Li Zhong will not stay on him for a long time.
After the banquet was over, everyone dispersed and left, and Wu Feng also returned to his residence.
Yun Hailan had already gotten up from the white jade coffin, finished eating the medicinal food that Wu Feng had asked someone to send every night, and was in the room, looking at the ice moon in the high sky.
Originally, there was only one small window in the room, but in order to prevent anyone from discovering the existence of Yun Hailan, Wu Feng also sealed it with dye. However, Yun Hailan used the Dao technique to draw a circle of light on the wall, and he could see the outside scene from it, and when he looked outside, the wall was as usual, which was the Dao Gate's wall insight technique.
The edge of the aperture shimmers with a colorful luster, surrounding the rising moon, which is picturesque.
Yun Hailan stood close to the side, blue clothes like water, skin better than snow, with a few wisps of looming melancholy in the corners of his eyes, like a fairy walking out of the painting.
For this long-lost world, she has a different kind of attachment. Especially the light moonlight, which always reminds her of the girlhood that was as clear as water.
"Boy, are you back?" she heard the sound of the door and said lightly to Wu Feng.
"Miss Yun, good evening. Wu Feng also replied in a light tone, for this older and beautiful woman, the tone was too hurried, inevitably frivolous, the tone was too respectful, and it seemed that he had lowered his value.
"Your face is not shallow, but the tone of your voice is the same as usual, it is indeed rare for a young man to have such a heart. Yun Hailan said: "Let's go to the banquet." ā
Wu Feng nodded and said, "There is a distinguished guest in the valley, who is the head of the Three Rivers Sword Sect. ā
Yun Hailan said: "Three Rivers Sword Sect...... A sect with a long history...... In the past 40 years, I don't know what has become of the world. You should have heard some news at the banquet tonight, can you tell me about it?"
Her red lips opened, and the faint cold fragrance spitted out, refreshing people's hearts.
Wu Feng concisely explained the changing situation in the world over the years, and then recounted that Su Mengzhen, the master of the Divine Hall, would join forces with the Xuan Immortal King to attack Xue Yiren, the usurper of Tianzi Peak.
Hearing that the Immortal King was now in charge of Guanzhong, Yun Hailan just sneered: "That slave who sells iron rods has also made a fortune now." ā
"So, what do you think?" Yun Hailan said after listening. Her comprehension ability is not bad, and when she heard Wu Feng describe the current situation, she immediately understood, but she did not express her opinion, but asked Wu Feng first.
Wu Feng's refusal to protect her actually piqued her interest even more. She also wants to see if this teenager is a person who does big things.
Wu Feng said: "The Ying brothers were deliberately let go by Xue Yiren. ā
Hearing this, Yun Hailan nodded, but did not show a shocked look.
"It was so coincidental that when Xue Yiren officially usurped the throne, the Ying brothers successfully escaped, giving Guanzhong and Shentang the right name to crusade against him, and it cannot be said that this is possible. It's just that Xue Yiren does this, what's the benefit?"
"It's simple. Wu Feng said: "Xue Yiren wants to quickly stabilize his position. Although there are many generals in Guanzhong, Yang Qi is in a closed pass, it is impossible to go out of the customs to manage the government, the king of Zhuxian can not suppress the other three kings, and the troops must be dragged back, as long as Xue Yiren opens up the joints of the other three kings, the other three kings will use the attack on Xue Yiren to weaken the overall national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a reason to contain the king of Zhuxian. Since then, the only thing that Xue Yiren needs to deal with is Shentang all the way. ā
"If this plan is successful, Xue Yiren will be able to draw out the hidden danger of disobedience within Tianzi Peak, catch them all, and break Su Mengzhen, remove the threat from the east, and after defeating, he can also be recognized by Guanzhong and become the rightful lord of Tianzi Peak, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!"
Yun Hailan said: "Well said...... It's just that you can see the strategy, Su Mengzhen has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he not see it?"
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "No...... Hall Master Su will definitely fall for the scheme!"
Yun Hailan suddenly exclaimed: "You said that Su Mengzhen must be tricked?"
Hearing this, she also felt that this kid was still too young and arrogant, and he looked down on a generation of heroes so much.
"First of all, the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear. Wu Feng said: "The most critical part of Xue Yiren's strategy lies in how to let one of the Ying brothers escape to Guanzhong and the other to western Henan. If I'm not mistaken, Xue Yiren bribed the Ying brothers' old subordinates, and let the Ying brothers feel reliable to let them go and guide them to escape. Afterwards, Xue Yiren will kill the relevant personnel, in the eyes of the Ying brothers, this is their loyal servant who was executed for selling himself, and he will not believe that this is a ploy. ā
"The Ying brothers' words and perceptions will of course affect the Su Hall Master and the Zhu Immortal King, the Su Hall Master is eager to expand, and the Zhu Immortal King is eager to establish a meritorious career, and they are more willing to believe in the possibility that is beneficial to themselves. ā
However, this is certainly not convincing enough. Don't talk about it, as you said, Hall Master Su has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he not see that this is a strategy? However, for a wise man like Hall Master Su, this plan is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy!"
"Yangmou?" Yun Hailan asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Because Xue Yiren's move was originally a risky plan. Even if the Immortal King is contained, at least he can contain some of his soldiers and horses, his foundation is already unstable, and he can only use part of his strength to fight against the elite of the Su Hall Master, and he has to beware of the rebellion from within, the odds of victory are completely determined by the comparison between the abilities of Xue Yi and the Su Hall Master. Hall Master Su has won many battles recently, and he must have the heart of underestimating the enemy, in the eyes of Hall Master Su, Xue Yiren is playing with fire and burning himself. ā
"I see...... Yun Hailan said, "So, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
"Xue Yiren. Wu Feng said affirmatively: "This person has always succeeded in conspiracy and has not commanded many major battles, but such a person with unknown military ability is even more terrifying." What's more, the foundation of the Su hall master is stable, if he is defeated, he will only have a frustrated reputation and his strength will be damaged, but he can still be his hall master well. And if Xue Yiren loses, what he loses is all his power, as well as the net worth and life of himself and his children. ā
Speaking of this, Wu Feng sighed: "I don't want the hall master to lose, it's just ...... As the old saying goes, put it to death and then live. ā
Of course, people who use the risk of putting themselves to death often have people who kill themselves, such as the Changping War Emperor and Xishu who joined the army. Therefore, the matter cannot be generalized either. If you put me in the position of the hall master, maybe, I will also choose to send troops. ā
After hearing this, Yun Hailan almost gasped.
It's not terrible to see through Xue Yiren's scheme, but Wu Feng is only a thirteen-year-old boy, but he can analyze the psychology of both sides so thoroughly.
This wisdom alone is very likely to become the mastermind of a state in the future, and if he can gather his own strong team, he may really be able to achieve a hegemony.
