On the north bank of the Hengjiang River, Nanqiu City.

It is located in the southwesternmost corner of the Beiyan territory, belongs to the territory of Jiangbei Road, and is also the place where Jiangbei Road can only see the Hengjiang River.

A group of Jingjun cavalry appeared on the outskirts and gradually approached the surging Hengjiang River.

And in front of it, you can see the mountains on both sides of the strait, there is no place for a little, the mountains are stacked, and the sky is hidden.

The cavalry of the Jing army could only dismount and move slowly, passing through the mountain path, and gradually hearing the sound of waves.

The Hengjiang River, which stretches for thousands of miles, finally revealed a small section of its true face in front of their eyes.

Everyone stood on the shore, watching the raging river roar eastward, slapping thousands of piles of snow, and couldn't help but shake their hearts, and it was difficult to control themselves for a while.

Seeing this, Marshal Sagai of the Northern Courtyard of Dajing sighed with emotion: "No wonder the Qi people call Hengjiang a moat, and today I can see it with my own eyes, so I know what a magnificent scenery it is." ”

The rest should not be.

Sagai said: "Before, I didn't understand why Your Majesty was reluctant to go south, but now I understand that Your Majesty has a lofty vision of the world, and if I don't have all the preparations, I can't cross this moat at all, let alone gallop in the land of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

A member of the Jing Army said highly: "Generalissimo, unless the soldiers and horses of the Southern Courtyard take Pingyang Mansion in Jingzhou of Southern Qi, they will not be able to find a suitable place to cross the river." As long as we can subdue Shazhou as soon as possible, the first major contribution to the destruction of Qi is none other than the generalissimo, and the king of Changshan County will also have to bow his head in front of the generalissimo! ”

Everyone responded, and Sagai smiled.

He looked at the 100,000 mountains in the west across the north and south of the Hengjiang River, and his heart was also a little excited.

If the Jingjun Iron Cavalry can borrow Shazhou, the defense line along the river in the Southern Qi Dynasty will be useless, and he will definitely be able to make the king of the county and suppress Qing Yugong at that time.

Full of ambition with the drumming river surging into his heart, Sakai said leisurely: "Don't say these words in the future, they are all for Your Majesty, why do you need to divide each other." Today, I will take you to see the magnificence of Hengjiang with your own eyes, hoping that you will have a clear understanding of the future war, and stop being as arrogant as in previous years. ”

A voice of command.

Sakai led everyone back the same way, and when he was still more than ten miles away from Nanqiu City, several horsemen galloped quickly from the southwest.

"Generalissimo, Shazhou Urgent!"

When there were still more than ten feet of people, they shouted loudly.

Sagai's heart moved, and then he let the left and right retreat slightly, looked at the person who came and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The cronie jumped off his horse and came to him and said quickly: "Generalissimo, General Wuhu asked the villain to come to report the news, and the situation in Shazhou has changed. General Wuhu originally planned to open a breakthrough from Hardy, the head of the Jinchuan tribe, but he didn't expect that someone from within Shazhou would take the initiative to find us and be willing to lead a large army into the customs as our internal commander, on the condition that our army could not be stationed in Shazhou, and we would also support him to become the lord of Shazhou. ”

Sagai's face was gloomy, but his heart was in ecstasy.

It's really like someone brought a pillow just after I dozed off.

However, out of caution, he still asked lightly, "Is this matter reliable?" ”

The cronies replied: "General Wuhu has already made contact with people from Shazhou, discussing the details of this matter while finding out the details of the other party. ”

Sakai pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "You tell Wuhu that you can agree to the other party on any conditions, but you must make sure that this is not a bait, and then you must finalize that the Bird Pass can be used by me." ”

"Yes, Generalissimo."

The cronies took the order and left.

Sakai looked at the rapidly departing figures of these cavalrymen, and couldn't help but sneer on his lips.

As long as the Jingjun Iron Cavalry can enter Shazhou, how can it be the turn of those Shazhou natives to have the final say? At most, it's just a little bit of a bone to eat.

Things are going so smoothly that it seems that the territory of Shazhou is at your fingertips, and the pride and ambition in Sagai's chest can no longer be hidden, and he let out a domineering laugh.

The generals who came back didn't dare to ask more, but they were also infected by Sagai's laughter, or just flattery, so they all laughed.

The laughter drifted far away with the autumn wind.

……

Shazhou, Tieyang Department, Gaoping Village.

Geographically, this village is located in the heart of the entire Shazhou, so it was chosen as the core site by the Tieyang Ministry.

It's just that the abundance of products here is not as good as the Jinchuan Department in the northwest, and the flat terrain is not as good as the Yalong Department near Yunling in the east.

The central location of Dazhai, the Shen family's big house.

In a bedroom, Shen Tianyi was lying on the bed with a pale face.

Before fighting Lu Shen, he was quite confident in his martial arts, thinking that in the entire Shazhou Seven Divisions, except for Luo Jiujiu and Na Chong, the eldest son of Na Yan, the head of the Dashi Division, the rest were not his opponents, and at the moment of life and death, he was not necessarily weaker than Luo and those two.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shen couldn't stand up with just one punch, I believe that this matter has spread, maybe he is the laughing stock of many people at the moment.

However, there was not much anger in Shen Tianyi's eyes.

There was also his father Shen Min in the room, and the middle-aged man stood by the bed, and said indifferently: "Lang Zhong said, you have not suffered internal injuries, nor have you hurt your muscles and bones, as long as you raise them for ten days and half a month." You recuperate with peace of mind, don't take this matter to heart, sooner or later your father will help you avenge you. ”

Shen Tianyi shook his head slightly and said, "Father, son won't be cranky. Although he didn't expect Lu Shen's martial arts to be so high, his son's injury could give his father a reason to do it, and this deal was not a loss. It's just that the son thinks that his father should be careful, Lu Shen only has a few dozen personal soldiers on the surface, but judging from the relationship between him and the Luo family's father and daughter, these people should still have a backhand. ”

Shen Min nodded with satisfaction: "Father knows." ”

He walked out of the bedroom slowly, and after a while, he came to the main hall, where two middle-aged men were drinking tea and waiting for each other, it was Bai Chang, the head of the Huining department, and Wei Wanjiang, the head of the Huang department.

"Youlao two have been waiting for a long time."

Shen Min smiled and apologized.

Bai Chang hurriedly said, "Brother Shen, where are you talking about this?" Tianyi, this kid is fine, right? ”

Wei Wanjiang also showed a look of concern.

Shen Min walked to the main seat and sat down, and muttered: "There is no worry about life, although Lu Shen's attack this time is not fatal, but it is a great blow to the dog, and most of the time in the future, he will not be able to continue to improve his martial arts." ”

"So serious?"

Bai Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "How can this be true!" Tianyi, this child was grown up by us, and now he was injured by Qi people at the boundary of Shazhou, is that it? ”

Wei Wanjiang sighed: "Brother Bai can't see it? Although Lu Shen is a Qi person, he is a distinguished guest of the Yalong Department, and the father and daughter of the Luo family almost didn't talk about marriage. Even you and I were extremely angry that day, let alone Brother Shen? It's just that it is Heishui Village, which is Luo Yaozong's territory, and he has made it clear that he wants to stand on the side of the Qi people, what can we do? ”

Bai Chang's heart moved, and he still said angrily on his face: "No, this matter must be paid by Lu Shen!" ”

They all seemed to have forgotten that it was Shen Tianyi who took the initiative to challenge that fight, or they deliberately ignored this issue.

Shen Min took a sip of the tea bowl and said lightly: "It's not in a hurry to settle accounts with Qi people, today I mainly want to ask the two of you, how did you think about that matter?" ”

Bai Chang and Wei Wanjiang glanced at each other, and then said quickly: "Originally, I was still a little hesitant, but now looking at Luo Yaozong's attitude, he took the initiative to lean towards Qi Guo, just to use this external force to achieve his goal. Although he and I are not far away, we have always looked at each other unpleasantly, if we let him do that, where will there be any respite for our Huining Department? Since Brother Shen has this big ambition, I will definitely support you! ”

Among the seven departments of Shazhou, the Yalong Department and the Huining Department are in the eastern region, which is relatively close to Yunling, so it stands to reason that they should be relatively close. However, as Bai Chang said, because of the influence of some old things, the relationship between the two tribes has always been not very harmonious, and disputes between the clans often occur.

Shen Min looked to the other side again.

Wei Wanjiang said with a smile: "Brother, the two of us have played since we were children, and we should always remember the beating of those powerful children of Qi in Heluo City back then, right?" Don't talk nonsense, anyway, no matter what the Tieyang Department wants to do, our Huang Department will follow to the end, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will also have to go! ”

"Good, good."

Shen Min smiled leisurely and praised: "The affection of the two brothers, Shen remembers it in his heart. ”

Bai Chang took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know what we are going to do next?" ”

Shen Min said unhurriedly: "The details of the negotiations in the ancestral house that day can be publicized, the focus is to highlight the aggressive and sinister intentions of the Qi State, as well as the tragic fate of the dog, you must know exactly what to do." All in all, let our people, especially the most loyal warriors, realize that the Qi State wants to annex Shazhou, and that Luo Yaozong and the Yalong tribe have been reduced to their eagle dogs. ”

The two nodded repeatedly.

Shen Min continued: "The second step is to have a reasonable name to bring everyone together again. Wan Jiang, this matter is going to be wronged by you. Of course, I don't want you to really poison yourself, as long as you make things bigger and attract Luo Yaozong and them. As for the Huang Bu who chose you, it is because Luo Yaozong will definitely not come to Gaopingzhai now, and the position you are in is relatively easy to lower his vigilance. ”

The Yellow Division is located in the middle of the Yalong Department and the Tieyang Division.

Wei Wanjiang said with understanding: "Don't worry, brother, I promise to handle this matter properly." ”

Bai Chang also understood, and then asked with a little worry: "Brother Shen, in addition to Luo Yaozong and Yalong's department, Shuixi and Dashi tribes also have to pay attention to beware, although Yang Jin and Na Yan have different temperaments, they are both difficult characters. ”

Shen Min smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Shuixi and Dashibu are not a problem. ”

He didn't explain in detail, obviously for the sake of secrecy in advance, Bai Chang and Wei Wanjiang were also very interested in not asking.

The three of them talked about the details for a while, Shen Min looked at the two of them, and said very solemnly: "Two brothers, after the matter is completed, it will be the day when the three of us will divide Shazhou equally." Shazhou is not a big place, and the seven parts are too crowded, and I always think that only three parts need to be left. At that time, the land, grain, gold, silver, and people of the other four tribes will be divided equally among the three of us, and we will be rich together. ”

Bai Chang and Wei Wanjiang glanced at each other, got up and said, "We are willing to nominate Brother Shen as the lord of Shazhou!" ”

Shen Min didn't pretend to excuse himself, but he still stood up, held the arms of the two of them and said, "Thank you for the lifting of the two brothers, Shen swore to heaven and earth today that he would never betray it!" ”

"Swear to heaven that you will never turn your back!"

Bai and Wei made an oath without hesitation.

The three of them then made a bloody alliance, and when the ceremony was complete, they laughed in unison.

However, in this staggered laughter, there seems to be a bit of complex awe-inspiring meaning.
