Chapter 169: Tianchi Monster, Yuan Shixiao
Linjiang City.
Half a month has passed since the last battle with the Southern Coalition Army.
200,000 Qing troops recuperated here.
Due to the large number of this coalition army in the south, including 500,000 or 600,000 beggar disciples alone, plus the White Lotus Sect, the Heaven and Earth Society, the Taiping Sect, the Shenlong Sect and other major sects, the number of coalition troops exceeded one million, so the Qing court sent a relatively large number of troops to the south, with a full 400,000 army.
Of the 400,000 troops, 300,000 were brought by Zheng Kexuan, the king of Yanping County, who was in charge of the war in the south at the beginning.
The remaining 100,000 were brought by Zheng Kexuan, the commander of the Nine Gates.
But after dozens of wars and 400,000 Qing troops, only 200,000 are left at the moment.
In terms of numbers, although it cannot be compared with the Southern Coalition Army, there is still a big difference between the regular army and the mud legs, especially the hundreds of thousands of beggars in the coalition army, most of whom are ordinary people who can't even eat.
When this kind of person goes to the battlefield, he is basically sent to death.
Therefore, compared with the southern coalition army, the 200,000 troops of the Qing court still occupy an absolute advantage.
The only thing that needs to be solved at this moment is the old celestial of the White Lotus Sect.
As long as they get rid of it, or only need to drag the old heavenly people of the White Lotus Sect, the 200,000 Qing army will definitely be able to win the battle and completely disperse the anti-thief coalition army in the south.
Zheng Kexuan and others obviously understand this truth.
Therefore, after half a month of recuperation, a group of generals gathered together again and prepared to discuss the matter of attacking south.
At this time.
In the castle lord's mansion.
A red python robe, although he looked extremely young, but Chen Jialuo, the king of Pingnan, who had an extraordinary bearing, sat in the main seat.
The next is Zheng Kefan, the king of Yanping County, who is also wearing a python robe, and the chief master under Zheng Kexuan, 'a sword without blood' Feng Xifan.
Below is the Admiral Ordo, who is wearing a commander's costume and has a cold expression, as well as the major generals in the army.
Prioritize clearly.
"Lord Wang, the army has been cultivating for half a month, and it has almost recovered, and now that the armaments are all ready, it's time to go south in one go and destroy those thieves!"
Erduo arched towards Chen Jialuo.
"Yes, the cultivation is almost over, it's time to go south to attack those thieves!"
"Lord Wang, send troops!"
"The last general seconded it!"
"The last general also agreed to send troops!"
The rest of the generals spoke one after another.
Zheng Kexuan didn't speak, but just looked at Chen Jialuo with meaningful eyes.
To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with the airborne King of Pingnan.
An anti-thief leader suddenly became a royal bloodline, was knighted, and climbed on his head and took away his military power, it would be strange if he could be convinced.
So since Chen Jialuo took power, although he didn't dare to oppose Chen Jialuo openly, he had been secretly giving Chen Jialuo a favor.
Including this dispatch of troops, he also secretly instructed Ordo to propose it.
Because he always felt that Chen Jialuo had been dragging his feet and didn't want to send troops.
Although he didn't know the reason, as long as Chen Jialuo didn't want to do it, he had to force Chen Jialuo to do it.
That's why there is a scene at this time.
Sure enough, when he heard that everyone was going to send troops south, Chen Jialuo's face was a little unsightly.
His position in the Qing Dynasty at the moment was very embarrassing.
The rivers and lakes regarded him as a traitor, and the court looked down on him a lot, and even his master, Yuan Shixiao, the strange man of Tianchi, was dissatisfied with him.
The reason why Yuan Shixiao made a move last time was mainly because of him.
Because the White Lotus Sect wanted to kill him at that time, and he was Yuan Shixiao's only personal disciple, Yuan Shixiao didn't want the inheritance to be shattered, so he rescued him at a critical moment.
But if he wanted Yuan Shixiao to take the initiative to deal with the coalition army in the south, Yuan Shixiao would never agree.
Otherwise, how could he not want to send troops to destroy the anti-thief coalition army, so as to gain a firm foothold in the Qing Dynasty?
The heart is not ruthless, and the stand is unstable.
Now that you have become a traitor, you can only go one way to the end.
He didn't have a choice before, but now he just wants to be his own king of Pingnan.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.
Yuan Shixiao was reluctant to make a move, because they would definitely not be able to stop the White Lotus Sect's old celestials.
After a moment of silence, Chen Jialuo said:
"With the strength of our army at the moment, we can easily defeat this group of anti-thieves, there is no need to be in such a hurry......"
Before the words fell, Ordo suddenly said:
"Since the prince has said that with the strength of our army, we are not afraid of this group of rebels, so why are you reluctant to send troops?"
As he spoke, Ordo squinted at Chen Jialuo:
"Could it be that the prince is still thinking about the old relationship with this group of thieves and doesn't want to send troops?"
"What did you say?!"
"Bold! Dare to slander the prince! ”
Hearing this, several leaders of the Red Flower Society who came with Chen Jialuo were immediately furious, and got up and glared at Ordo.
"Ben Du speaks, where do you have the right to interject!"
Ordo was not afraid, suddenly got up, and coldly swept towards these leaders of the Red Flower Society.
"A thief is a thief, don't think that now that you put on an official uniform, you can be compared with this governor!"
As if thinking of something, Ordo arched his hand towards Chen Jialuo, his face full of 'apologies', and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, I didn't mean you." ”
It's okay not to explain, he deliberately explained, Chen Jialuo's face was even more ugly.
But he didn't say anything, just glanced at Zheng Kexuan next to him.
He naturally knew that all this was instructed by Zheng Kexuan.
Chen Jialuo snorted coldly and said: "Now this king is the commander of the army, whether he sends troops or not, this king has the final say!" ”
"Hehe, the marshal is really a great official!"
Zheng Kexuan smiled weirdly: "But the marshal don't forget the order of the regent, this Qing Dynasty, it's not your turn to cover the sky with one hand!" ”
Chen Jialuo said coldly: "If you are not convinced, you can go to the regent to report!" ”
Zheng Kexuan sneered: "If you have a chance, you will." ”
"But the marshal should tell me first, why don't you want to send troops, is it possible, the marshal can't command the celestial man in the army?"
Zheng Kexuan obviously guessed Chen Jialuo's situation.
Chen Jialuo's face was ugly, and he was about to speak.
But at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded outside:
"Where is Yuan Shixiao, get out and die!"
With the blessing of internal force, this voice soon spread throughout Linjiang City.
"It's the White Lotus Sect that celestial!"
In the city lord's mansion, everyone was shocked.
Someone walked out to take a look, only to see that above the sky, a figure wearing a Taoist robe stood in the sky, it was the old man of the White Lotus Sect, Xu Hongru!
Everyone changed color, but I didn't expect this person to come again!
But Chen Jialuo was overjoyed.
He was worried that he had no way to ask the master to solve the White Lotus Sect, a celestial being, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to come to the door!
Chen Jialuo immediately turned to look at a certain location in the city, where his master Yuan Shixiao cultivated.
Really.
It didn't take a while.
I only heard a sigh sound, and then a figure rose from a courtyard, looked at Xu Hongru, and sighed:
"As I said last time, I have no intention of interfering in this matter, so why should Your Excellency come to the door?"
Xu Hongru sneered and said, "Yuan Shixiao, you are really hypocritical, so hypocritical that even the poor Dao, a cultivator, can't stand it!" ”
"If you don't want to meddle in this matter, then just leave, why do you have to stay in the Qing army all the time?"
Yuan Shixiao is about sixty years old, with a stubble on his face, and he looks quite lonely.
I saw him sigh again and said, "I just want to protect my apprentice, the life or death of the Qing army has nothing to do with me." ”
Xu Hongru snorted coldly: "Your apprentice is a traitor and a lackey of the Qing court, what is the difference between you and him if you protect him?" ”
"You, a traitor from the Central Plains, are simply arrogant Chinese!"
Xu Hongru directly broke open and scolded.
Yuan Shixiao's face turned pale, but he couldn't refute it.
At this moment, I saw Chen Jialuo suddenly speak: "Old guy, what does my master do, I don't need you to teach, look at your age, if you don't want to die, surrender as soon as possible, otherwise you are afraid that no one will collect your body when you die!" ”
"Huangkou Xiaoer, are you looking for death?! The poor way will first fulfill you! ”
Xu Hongru snorted coldly, waved his robe, and a thunderbolt appeared out of thin air, falling straight towards Chen Jialuo.
Zheng Kexuan and the others' faces changed, and they hurriedly dodged to both sides, staying away from Chen Jialuo, for fear of being affected by him.
But their worries are clearly unnecessary.
Rumble!
Before this thunder fell, Yuan Shixiao had already appeared in mid-air, slapped out with one palm, directly shattered this thunder, and then turned around and glared at Chen Jialuo:
"You...... Criminals! ”
How did he not know that Chen Jialuo was forcing him to do it.
A trace of guilt flashed in Chen Jialuo's eyes, but it soon disappeared, and he arched his hand towards Yuan Shixiao and said, "Please take a step forward and help the apprentice get rid of this person!" ”
Xu Hongru sneered: "Yuan Shixiao, you are a good apprentice!" ”
Yuan Shixiao's face was gloomy, he didn't answer, he just slowly closed his eyes, and said, "Your Excellency, please leave, with me here, Your Excellency can't hurt anyone." ”
Xu Hongru was about to speak, a figure had slowly fallen from the clouds, walked to Xu Hongru's side, looked at Yuan Shixiao who was blocking Chen Jialuo below, and said lightly:
"You're pretty fucking polite."
Two celestials!
Chen Jialuo and the others' faces changed drastically.
Yuan Shixiao's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes looked solemnly at the figure in a silver-white python robe, and said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
"This Daming West Factory is a factory, Yuhuatian!"
Yuhuatian said indifferently. (End of chapter)
