Chapter Ninety-Eight: Follow the Trend (Three Watches)
Li Maozhen didn't say this premise, and Li Ye didn't ask.
If Li Maozhen saves Gao Biao today, it will only take more than ten days for Gao Biao to recover his strength. At that time, if they join forces to deal with Li Ye, there may not be no possibility of victory. Even if the two join forces, they still can't kill Li Ye, so what about Wang Jian?
As long as Li Ye can be killed, Li Maozhen still has a chance to compete in the Central Plains and win the world.
There is no situation where the three kings join forces to kill Li Ye, this is the premise that Li Ye has the general trend of the world!
In any case, on the question of choosing to join forces with Gao Biao or with Li Ye, Li Maozhen chose the latter. For Li Maozhen, this is an opportunity to give up on a great cause.
But for Li Ye, Li Maozhen's choice is wise.
The two and three kings joined forces, and Li Ye may not be afraid. He has the Heavenly Sword, the Heavenly Shield, the Heavenly Mirror, and the power of the people's luck, which can be described as fearless. And it is impossible for the three vassal kings to be together for many years, once they are separated, there is a possibility that they will be broken by Li Ye one by one.
Li Maozhen didn't know the details of Li Ye, but she made a wise choice.
Aside from these, the problem of Tibet's invasion of the western frontier has also become very serious. Once Li Maozhen was unfavorable in the Central Plains and delayed for a long time, it was difficult to ensure that Tubo could not capture Fengxiang and approach Chang'an.
On Bagong Mountain, Li Ye didn't think much about it.
This battle kept the Central Plains, and unsurprisingly got Guanzhong, Huainan was also determined, Li Ye can be said to have made a lot of money, and he was overjoyed.
He let out a long breath, showed a heartfelt smile, and pointed to the monks of the Phantom Sound Workshop to Song Jiao and Da Shao Si Ming who rushed over: "Take it back, and put it into the Tsing Yi Yamen." Well, get ready to take over the entire Phantom Workshop. ”
Shao Si Ming's black eyes widened, and Da Si Ming opened his scarlet lips, and even Song Jiao was surprised.
When they came, they saw from a distance that Shengji was flying in the direction of Suzhou, and the three of them didn't know why, at most they thought that it was Shengji who was looking for traces of Li Ye and Gao Biao everywhere after perceiving the strangeness of the Battle of Moshan.
At that time, they were still a little nervous, since Shengji appeared nearby, it was difficult to guarantee that Li Maozhen did not come. If Li Ye is dealt with by Li Maozhen and Gao Biao, wouldn't the situation be very critical?
Could it be that Sheng Ji was sent back by Li Maozhen to summon the monks of the Phantom Sound Workshop?
When they approached Bagong Mountain, they saw Li Ye standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a large number of Phantom Sound Workshop monks on the left and right, and when Li Ye was encircled, he couldn't help but change color, and at the same time, he was about to enter the encirclement and rescue Li Ye.
Otherwise, Li Ye blocked it in time, and a fierce battle would have broken out between the two sides.
Now hearing Li Ye's words, how could Song Jiao and Da Shao Si Ming not be shocked?
Looking at the wonderful expressions of the three of them, Li Ye smiled proudly: "Don't be stunned, everyone will be colleagues in the future, we have to seize the time to understand each other, and we can get close." The world has not yet been settled, the border is in constant flames, and there are times when you are fighting side by side. ”
Da Si Ming didn't speak, just looked at Li Ye strangely.
Shao Si Ming's eyes were full of worry, and he seemed to suspect that Li Ye's head had been broken.
Song Jiao observed the monks of the Phantom Sound Workshop for a long time, and after confirming that their implied respectful attitude towards Li Ye was not a fake, she came to Li Ye with her eyes like electricity: "How did you convince them to betray Li Maozhen? I saw Sheng Ji just now, could it be that she was beaten away by you?"
Li Ye pointed to a pool of flesh and blood in the field in the distance, and answered the other party's last question first, and then said lazily: "Aunt Song's words are wrong. We are already an alliance with King Qi, and it is not too strange that she handed over the Phantom Sound Workshop to me to command, how can it involve betrayal? The monks of the Phantom Sound Workshop are all loyal and courageous, Aunt Song should not belittle them. ”
Song Jiao glared at Li Ye fiercely. What is the relationship between him and Li Maozhen, and the two of them are still unclear in their hearts? Now that the two of them are too late to fight, the other party will still give him the Phantom Sound Workshop?
Song Jiao was impatient, her face was full of threats, revealing that Li Ye didn't tell the truth anymore, so she pounced on Li Ye and bit off Li Ye's neck with a vicious look.
Li Ye smiled, stopped teasing her, and told her everything about it.
"What? King Qi turned out to be Sheng Ji? she is a woman?!" Song Jiao's expression of eating melons made Li Ye very satisfied.
Finally calmed down, Song Jiao's eyes suddenly became extremely strange when she looked at Li Ye, and after looking up and down, she asked suspiciously: "For the sake of the great cause of the world, you should not have sold your body, right?"
Li Ye, who was taking out a water bladder to drink water, almost sprayed Song Jiao's face when he heard the words.
"Am I that kind of person?" Li Ye looked indignant.
Song Jiao laughed twice, "That's Li Maozhen who sold her body?"
Three black lines appeared on Li Ye's forehead, is there a difference between these two statements?
......
The ships on the Huai River are like dragons and cities.
Yang Xingmi stood on the deck of a building ship, looking north without saying a word. The cold and resolute face was full of wind and frost, and there was not a trace of pain and sadness flashing in his eyes.
"General, Dangshan has been defeated, Wu Wangnan has disappeared, we are already powerless to return to the sky in this battle, while the thief army has not yet attacked in a big way, we should quickly sail east into the sea, right? In this way, the sailor can return to Yangzhou safely!" The adjutant general came forward and persuaded bitterly.
The two real people who escaped from Dangshan had already told Yang Xingmi about the battle situation there, and the news was tightly sealed, and the deputy general was the only one who knew.
After learning the news, the adjutant general kept persuading Yang Xingmi to withdraw his troops.
They only have more than 100,000 soldiers here, and they have lost even the ability to re-enter the Huai Surabaya system to fight, so how can they not retreat in the face of a 2 million army?
But Yang Xingmi refused to be a teacher.
Yang Xingmi said in a deep voice: "Although the army was defeated at Dangshan, the war in the Central Plains will not stop there. Without our Wu army, King Qi's soldiers and horses and King An's troops are bound to fight again in order to compete for the Central Plains, this is our chance!"
The deputy general Yang Xingmi's plan was shocked, "General, we only have more than 100,000 soldiers, and most of them are sailors, how can we profit from the big war of millions of troops in the Central Plains?"
Yang Xingmi slammed his fist on the side of the ship, gritted his teeth, and said: "I don't believe it, we are defeated like this! Although we only have more than 100,000 soldiers, if we use it well, we are miracle soldiers! Moreover, Li Ye pursues and kills King Wu, Li Maozhen will definitely not sit idly by, and we still have a chance! If we can join forces with King Qi, the Central Plains will still have a chance to take advantage of it!"
When the deputy general heard Yang Xingmi say this, after thinking about it, he also felt that there was some truth.
Without waiting for him to say anything more, he saw twenty or thirty Changhong flying in the sky, and instead of crossing the border quickly, he went straight to the ship!
The lieutenant was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
Twenty or thirty real people quickly landed on the mast, side, deck, and cabin roof of the ship.
Surrounded by so many masters, the lieutenant's legs were so weak that he almost fell to his knees on the spot.
Yang Xingmi clenched his fists without fear, and said to the female monk in front of him, "Where did the honorable guest come from?"
The first commander said lightly: "Phantom Sound Workshop." ”
Yang Xingmi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "But the messenger sent by King Qi?"
The First Commander smiled: "How do you know?"
Yang Xingmi said: "Dangshan has changed dramatically, and I speculate that King Qi may need help. Although you and I have fought fiercely before, but now the situation has changed, if we need to join forces, we are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses! Needless to say, our army's naval division can crisscross the Huaisi River, and no one can stop it from transporting troops or food!"
The smile of the first commander gradually had a mocking color: "Okay, if you are willing to take refuge, we will naturally welcome it." Let's start preparing now, the army will cross the river to the south and capture the fourteen states in the north of the river. ”
Yang Xingmi was stunned: "Take refuge, capture the fourteen states of Jiangbei?"
"Does the general have any doubts?" a voice came from behind him.
Yang Xingmi looked back and saw a purple-robed woman sitting on the mast, looking at him playfully.
Yang Xingmi was confused, looked at this person, and then looked at the first commander, but didn't figure out the situation: "Your Excellency?"
"Tsing Yi Yamen, Song Jiao. Song Jiao said lightly, "Have you ever heard of General Yang?"
Yang Xingmi suddenly took two steps back, his eyes wide open like copper bells, "You...... You are Song Jiao, the Yamen of Tsing Yi, how can you ...... Acting with the people of the Phantom Workshop?"
Song Jiao smiled and said: "King Qi and King An joined forces to conquer the Central Plains, doesn't the general know?"
Yang Xingmi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. Looking at the way he saw the hell, he must have felt like he was dreaming. The deputy general couldn't support it anymore, and sat on the deck with a buttocks, and while he was frightened, he looked at Yang Xingmi's eyes, as if he was looking at the enemy who killed his father.
I told you to go earlier, but you didn't go, okay now?
Song Jiao saw that Yang Xingmi was stunned, and said impatiently: "Gao Biao is dead, and King An plans to cross the river to the south and pacify Huainan." The general is also a talent, if he knows each other, he will surrender quickly, and there will naturally be no shortage of places in the future, otherwise, his head will not be guaranteed!"
"King Wu...... King Wu is dead?" Yang Xingmi muttered in distraction, and there was no trace of blood on his face. Halfway, he smiled bitterly, and reluctantly hugged his fist at Song Jiao: "King An has a life, how dare the last general disobey?"
Song Jiao smiled, "The general is really wise." Gao Yu is dead, you can't be sad, you're just a rebel and thief. If the general is loyal to the monarch and the country, he can naturally be glorious and wealthy, and glorify his ancestors. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and flew away to the north.
As for the First Commander and the Illusory Sound Workshop Monk, they were left behind to monitor and control Yang Xingmi.
The deputy general sat paralyzed for a while, and suddenly found that he was not in danger of his life, that is, he changed his body, from the tribe of King Wu to the command of King An, and his mission in the future was no longer to defend Huainan, but to attack Huainan.
The speed of the changes in his life made him dizzy.
After thinking about his own situation, the deputy general was no longer distraught, but felt that this was not bad. He was about to say something to Yang Xingmi, when he suddenly found that when the other party lowered his head to wipe the sweat on his forehead, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a faint smile, full of triumph.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was clever, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he instantly figured out a major event.
Yang Xingmi knew that the Wu army was defeated, and the king of Wu was seriously injured, chased and killed, and he was unwilling to withdraw from the Huai River.
It is a fool's dream for hundreds of thousands of sailors to plot against the Central Plains! But no matter who wants to cross the river and go south, they need elite sailors!
In this way, Yang Xingmi is not only not in danger, but will also be reused, and it is not a problem to increase the official and enter the knighthood!
"He is worthy of being a Confucian general, he can see the general trend so clearly, and he chooses to do it so quickly...... "The adjutant general could only express his admiration in his heart.
