Chapter 270: Immortal Medicine
β¦
The tall young man who pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on Ma Wu's words was born with a tiger's head and swallow forehead, large cheeks and square ears, a face like a crown of jade, and his lips were smeared, and his appearance was extraordinary.
This person's surname is Zhang, his name is Zhongxiong, and he is the second son of Zhang Shuye, a famous minister of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.
Historically, Zhang Zhongxiong once led the army to resist the Jin Dynasty with his father and brother, but later surrendered to the puppet Qi and Jin Dynasty and became a traitor.
Unlike others, who were defeated and captured in the Valley of the Wicked, Zhang Zhongxiong was actually deliberately captured by Liang Shanjun and sent to the Valley of the Wicked.
Zhang Shuye had carefully studied Shuibo Liangshan.
Combined with the news he received from the people of Shuibo Liangshan captured by the Song army, Zhang Shuye felt that if the Song army wanted to defeat the Liangshan army on the frontal battlefield, it would be too difficult, and it would be almost impossible to succeed.
Although Zhang Shuye has not confirmed it, he has made a rough estimate based on the information from all parties: the Liangshan army alone has 670,000 horse troops, 670,000 elite infantry troops, 20,000 or 30,000 elite naval troops, a total of nearly 200,000 elite soldiers, and 120,000 garrison troops.
This strength is not at all under the soldiers and horses brought by Gao Yu this time.
The only thing that made Zhang Shuye happy was that Jiang Hongfei coveted Hebei and transferred most of his troops to Hebei to garrison and attack the city and seize the land.
That's what gives their side a chance to win.
But they have a chance, but not much.
Cause?
Just because the headquarters of Shuibo Liangshan is protected by 800 miles of Shuibo, and Liangshan has been built by the engineers and prisoners of Shuibo Liangshan, it is almost like an iron bucket, plus there are hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of stone grains hidden on Liangshan, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to enter it from the outside.
Uncle Zhang thought about it for a long time and felt that only by flowering inside could it be possible to break through Shuibo Liangshan.
And once the Liangshan army loses Shuibo Liangshan, it will be like a rootless duckweed, and it will be possible to be exterminated.
Later, Uncle Zhang learned by chance that there was a valley of wicked people in Shuibo Liangshan, and there were 10,000 or 20,000 criminals in Shuibo Liangshan in the valley for a long time.
And a large part of the criminals in Shuibo Liangshan were people loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties.
What made Zhang Shuye feel even more that it was an opportunity was that after Zhang Ji and Yun Tianbiao were defeated, 70,000 or 80,000 people under their command were imprisoned in the Valley of the Wicked.
Zhang Shuye boldly imagined that if he sent people into the Valley of the Wicked and contacted those who were still loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties, when the Song army and the Liangshan army were in a decisive battle, they would explode and attack the Liangshan Dazhai, and the Liangshan army would inevitably be in chaos.
The more Uncle Zhang thought about it, the more he felt that this was Song Jun's only chance, so he began to look for the dead.
The Dead Room is one of the five rooms of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
The five rooms are divided into: the cause room, the inner room, the reverse room, the life room, and the death room.
"Inma" is also known as "countryside", and the countryside refers to using the relationship between fellow villagers and friends in the enemy camp to penetrate into the enemy's interior, probe for information, and engage in intelligence.
Inside, he was willing to spend a lot of money to bribe the enemy's officials to act as spies, such as the Qin State bribed and bribed Guo Kai, the favored minister of the King of Zhao during the Warring States Period, and killed people with a knife to get rid of Li Mu, a famous general of the Zhao State.
On the contrary, it is to use the skill of shifting the situation to attack people with the help of force, and try to make the enemy's spies consciously or unconsciously used by our side, so as to achieve the goal of disrupting the enemy's hearing and hearing and collecting all kinds of intelligence.
Ikuma is to let his spies get out skillfully after completing the task of collecting intelligence, and return to the base camp safely to report the enemy situation.
In death, it is necessary to have a heart as hard as a stone, blood as cold as ice water, "can't give up a child and can't trap a wolf", deliberately spread some false information, and lure the enemy to be deceived at the cost of his own spies. The representative figure is Su Qin, when the horn of the Five Kingdoms was blown, Su Qin completed his mission, his identity was exposed, and he was executed by Qi.
The stakes are big, and no one is at ease when Uncle Zhang uses it at night.
In the end, Uncle Zhang looked at his eldest son Zhang Bofen at night.
Zhang Bofen was born with a broad forehead and square cheeks, sword eyebrows and sideburns, shining pupils, his voice was like a bell, and he acted calmly, quite like the demeanor of Uncle Zhang when he was young.
Zhang Shuye felt that this kind of thing might have a chance for Zhang Bofen to succeed.
Zhang Bofen knew that this matter was a life and a death, but he did not shirk it, let alone blame Zhang Shuye, but readily agreed.
But Zhang Zhongxiong was young and vigorous, and he thought very highly of himself, so he took the initiative to ask Uncle Zhang for help, wanting to replace Zhang Bofen to be this dead room.
Later, after Zhang Shuye vetoed Zhang Zhongxiong's request, Zhang Zhongxiong left a letter for Zhang Shuye and Zhang Bofen, and ran to act on his own.
Now that Zhang Zhongxiong has successfully mixed into the Valley of the Wicked, he is ready to follow the plan formulated by Zhang Shuye, try to contact Jin Chengying, Ha Lansheng, Ma Yuan and others, and persuade them to lead the crowd to rise up when the Song army and the Liangshan army are in a decisive battle, and go to attack Liangshan Dazhai......
β¦β¦
At the same time, Liu Huiniang's room.
Liu Huiniang used a brush to write down five names on rice paper in one goβLi Gang, Chen Yu, Jin Chengying, Ha Lansheng, and Ma Yuan.
Jiang Hongfei hugged Liu Huiniang from behind, looked at the five names at the same time, and asked, "What is the purpose of writing their names?" β
Liu Huiniang said: "If Zhao Song's side wants to fight the idea of the Valley of the Wicked, he will definitely not be able to bypass the five of them, especially the last three. β
Jiang Hongfei asked with interest: "The lady seems to be very sure that Zhao Song's side will fight the idea of the Valley of the Wicked?" β
Liu Huiniang said: "A woman's intuition. And this is the only strategy that Zhao Song can threaten my Shuibo Liangshan, and we must not be careless. β
Seeing Liu Huiniang so cautious, Jiang Hongfei felt more and more that he had picked up a big baby.
Jiang Hongfei said to Liu Huiniang: "That Haransheng and Ma Yuan have already expressed to Chen Daozi that they are willing to surrender to my Shuibo Liangshan, and have also asked Chen Daozi to speak well for them. Taking a step back, even if the two of them are unreliable, Yan Qing has already sent people to lurk around Jin Chengying, Ha Lansheng, and Ma Yuan, and he can't escape our surveillance if there is any trouble. β
Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfei hesitated a little: "It's just ...... Will Zhao Song contact Li Gang and Chen Yu? Outsiders shouldn't know that the two of them are here, and the key is that others may not know about their talents other than me. β
Liu Huiniang said: "Jin Chengying, Ha Lansheng, Ma Yuan are all reckless, they will not succeed, if they want to succeed, there are indispensable people who have a plan to lead and strategize, throughout the Valley of the Wicked, there are only Li and Chen who have this ability, and he can walk freely, and he is loyal to Zhao Song, so the slave family listed his two names in front." β
Jiang Hongfei said: "Then I'll change the two of them to live." β
When Liu Huiniang heard this, she smiled and said, "The officials really love the two of them." β
Jiang Hongfei smiled and asked, "Why do you say this?" β
Liu Huiniang glanced at Jiang Hongfei: "The officials are testing me again?" β
Without waiting for Jiang Hongfei to answer, after a pause, Liu Huiniang said to herself: "The officials changed places for the two of them, obviously because they were afraid that the two of them would really get involved in this matter, and the officials didn't know whether to kill them or not." β
Liu Huiniang is right, Jiang Hongfei has already made up his mind, as long as the Valley of the Wicked dares to blow up the prison, Jiang Hongfei will carry out a massacre of the Valley of the Wicked and solve these worries once and for all.
For this reason, Jiang Hongfei has already transferred the 11th Infantry Army and the 13th Infantry Army, and transferred Li Kui, Bao Xu, Li Gon, and Xiang Chong back to the murderers.
And just as Liu Huiniang guessed, Jiang Hongfei was reluctant to protect Li Gang and Chen Yu, the two great talents, so as to save them from going the wrong way and embarrassing himself.
Jiang Hongfei pinched Liu Huiniang's little nose: "You are really a roundworm in my stomach!" β
Liu Huiniang said very Versailles: "What is difficult to guess about this, if you think about it a little, you can guess the intention of the officials." β
Jiang Hongfei shook his head, chatting with such an extremely smart person was really boring, and he felt like he was crushed by his IQ.
"Forget it, don't humiliate yourself."
Jiang Hongfei picked up Liu Huiniang by the waist.
Liu Huiniang said: "Wait a minute, the slave family still has work to do." β
Jiang Hongfei said: "The work cannot be done, and it is not too late to do it after resting." β
Jiang Hongfei kissed Liu Huiniang's pretty face, and said, "If I tire you out, then my loss will be great." β
Jiang Hongfei didn't tell a lie.
Liu Huiniang has a thousand good things, but there is one thing that is very bad, that is, her health is very bad.
In the original work, Liu Huiniang fell ill because she was too focused on work, and even almost died.
And now, in the past few years, Jiang Hongfei has worked Liu Huiniang, but Liu Huiniang has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to Jiang Hongfei.
It's really not Jiang Hongfei bragging.
Not to mention normal women, it is women like Li Qingzhao, Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Jia who have difficulty giving birth in their original families, and they all got pregnant smoothly here in Jiang Hongfei.
Jiang Hongfei, who cultivated the "Su Nu Sutra" passed down by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, definitely has super fertility, and it can even be said that no one can match it.
But this is such a Jiang Hongfei, but he has never been able to let Liu Huiniang get pregnant.
Needless to say, the problem must be with Liu Huiniang.
Jiang Hongfei once asked An Daoquan, Kong Hou and Mu Jie to see Liu Huiniang, they all diagnosed Liu Huiniang as congenital weakness and difficult to conceive, and they all prescribed Liu Huiniang a prescription for recuperation, wanting to help Liu Huiniang improve her physique, but the results were all unsatisfactory.
In Kong Hou's words: "It's not that the three of us are unwilling to contribute, it's just that we are not immortals, how can we have Ganoderma lucidum elixir, we only use bark and grass roots, and Liu Niangzi's problem is accompanied by the mother's womb, and we really lack the skills to return to the sky." β
Not being able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Jiang Hongfei is a piece of Liu Huiniang's heart.
Therefore, I heard Jiang Hongfei say, "If I tire you out, then my loss will be great." Liu Huiniang couldn't help but say: "Can't give birth to children for officials, the slave family is already a big crime, if you can't help the officials to conquer the world, what is the meaning of the slave family's life?" β
Although looking at Liu Huiniang's genes, the child she gave to Jiang Hongfei must be no worse, but to be honest, Jiang Hongfei really has no shortage of Liu Huiniang to give birth to a child for herself.
Let's put it this way, there are all women who can give birth to Jiang Hongfei, but the only woman who may help Jiang Hongfei win the world is Liu Huiniang.
But then again, if Liu Huiniang can really give birth to a son and a half daughter to Jiang Hongfei, of course Jiang Hongfei is willing.
Moreover, Liu Huiniang has been saying that the only strategy that Gao Yu can defeat Shuibo Liangshan is to incite the prisoners in the Valley of the Wicked to storm Dazhai in the decisive battle between the two armies.
But in Jiang Hongfei's opinion, Gao Yu still has a chance, that is, Liu Huiniang, whom Jiang Hongfei relies on the most, has an accident.
And the biggest time bomb on Liu Huiniang is her terrible body.
In case, when the Song army and the Liangshan army fought a decisive battle, the strength was too great, beyond the tolerance of Liu Huiniang's delicate body......
Jiang Hongfei was unwilling to face such a situation.
After thinking about it, Jiang Hongfei said: "Chen Daozi's Qianyuan Separation Mirror, can determine the good and the bad, why don't I teach him to come over and see if you can find a way to cure your body." β
As a woman, how can you not want to have children?
is as wise as Liu Huiniang, and she is not exempt from vulgarity, so she let out a light "um" and agreed to Jiang Hongfei's proposal.
The next morning, Jiang Hongfei called Chen Xizhen over and explained the reason for calling him over.
Chen Xizhen didn't say a word, but agreed.
That night, Jiang Hongfei asked people to clean a room, Liu Huiniang lay on the bed, and Chen Xizhen used incense lanterns and candles to provide the Qianyuan delight mirror.
After everything was ready, Chen Xi really recited the mantra, and the mirror was covered with anger.
Jiang Hongfei condensed his breath and looked at the bronze mirror, which was only three inches in size and empty.
After staring at it for a long time, Jiang Hongfei was dazzled, but he saw that the mirror gradually became the size of a wheel.
When I looked at it again, I saw the black clouds surging in the mirror, full of darkness, and the electric light in the shadow of the black clouds was flying and flickering.
After a while, the electric light gradually stopped, and the black clouds dispersed, and a high mountain appeared in the mirror.
I saw that on that high mountain, a child of three or four years old, without a trace of nakedness, jumped up and down on the mountain, coming and going. There was a demon leopard squatting in the mountain hollow, very hideous and ferocious. At the foot of the hill there was a man sitting on the back of an ox playing the flute, followed by two boys.
Soon, I saw that the mountain gradually changed its appearance, and all the figures were gone, but a pagoda poured out of the mountain.
The tower has a majestic golden wall, with seven floors, but no roof. There are three thatched hermitages under the tower, and an old monk sits on the futon.
When I look at it again, the top of the tower is suddenly complete, and in front of the old monk, there is a young woman, bowing and worshipping, and behaving like Liu Huiniang.
After a while, I saw a fire fall from the sky inside, and fell straight in front of the tower, and the mirror was full of firelight, like a round of sun, dazzling.
I don't know how long it took, the firelight stopped, and there was still a three-inch bronze mirror, empty.
Seeing that there was no change in Qianyuan's departure from the mirror, Chen Xizhen put away the treasure mirror, looked at Jiang Hongfei, and asked, "Can the lord see what the mirror says?" β
Jiang Hongfei did not answer immediately, but first helped Liu Huiniang up, and then told Liu Huiniang what he saw.
Huiniang listened to it and smiled bitterly: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid that the slave family has reached the limit." β
Chen Xizhen asked in surprise: "Why did the virtuous niece say this?" β
Liu Huiniang said: "Uncle, you have often said that my deeds are like a seven-story pagoda, only one is missing. Isn't this the end of the sight that the roofless pagoda suddenly has a roof, and I take refuge in the Sangha, and bow to the Sangha. β
Chen Xizhen thought for a while and said, "No, the virtuous niece Hugh understands it like this. Sage Cloud; Words are not made, and the arguments are not false. If, according to what the niece said, only the last paragraph can be explained, are the scenes above empty words? The omen of the gods will not be so. I think that the realm of Gaoping Mountain appears in the round light, and the life of my niece must be on that mountain. The seven-story pagoda is said to be a complete career for the niece in the future. β
Jiang Hongfei only spoke at this time, and said: "Father-in-law's words are good, that Gaoping Mountain Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and there are many immortal medicines in it, which can prolong your life, not to mention improving your body?" The child and the demon leopard must be the elves of the grass and trees. The gods have shown signs and think that the lady must have a savior. β
Hearing Jiang Hongfei and Chen Xizhen say this, Liu Huiniang nodded silently, agreeing with their interpretation.
Jiang Hongfei said: "In this way, the elf of the grass and trees, ordinary people will definitely not be able to catch it, I will personally go and get the elixir to heal your body for the lady......"
