Chapter 541: Two soldiers are outside the river
At the beginning, Xu Beiyou moved Shuzhou reinforcements into the lake, with Lan Yu sitting in Jincheng, Sun Shaotang, the former military governor of the left capital, sitting in Baidi City, and Zhao Qing personally leading the Shuzhou army to aid Liangxiang. After Wei Wuji also led his army into the lake, Lan Yu gradually faded out of the two wings and handed over the military power to Wei Wuji.
Many people don't know where Zhao Qing is now, as if he has disappeared out of thin air.
In fact, he has always been in Liangxiang, after Wei Wuji led the army out of the city, Zhao Qing was responsible for guarding Liangxiang, and after Xu Beiyou arrived, he left Liangxiang and followed Xu Beiyou's side.
At this time, Xu Beiyou had already handed over the command to Wei Wuji, and he and Zhao Qing came to a place less than a hundred miles away from Jiangling City.
This can be said to be the confidant of the Wei army, but for the two transcendent great monks, it is a leisurely stroll, taking a step back, even if Xiao Jin has placed a heavy army here, the two of them really want to forcibly break the formation, it is not impossible.
Looking at today, what army can stop the joint efforts of a supreme sword cultivator and a supreme martial artist to break through the formation? I am afraid that it will take hundreds of thousands of heavily armored cavalry to charge desperately.
But even the total number of hoplites in the whole world is not as many as hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, there is no one in the world who can stop it.
Even if the city is high and the pond is deep, it is the same, if the two of them make up their minds to attack the city alone, Gangneung can be broken in an instant.
It's just that the two don't want to.
Today's Xu Beiyou did not wear the general armor specially customized for him, but only wore a brocade robe, wearing a high crown, wide robe and large sleeves, fluttering clothes between walking, and the demeanor was fluttering, showing the grace of a celebrity, and he wore an ancient sword around his waist, which had the style of ancient times.
Zhao Qing, who was walking beside him, did not have such a "swagger", he wore a cloth dress, dressed short, and his sleeves, neckline, and placket were all tightened, revealing a sense of ability, coupled with the nourishment of the Son of Heaven's qi recently, he was a little rejuvenated, and he looked like Xu Beiyou, the "son of the family".
Xu Beiyou stopped, looked at Jiangling City, which was already "close", and said slowly: "Jiangling is good, Zhang Jiangling, the first minister of Dazheng back then, was named after this city. β
Zhao Qing narrowed his eyes, fell into reminiscence, and said slowly: " If I remember well, the year Zhang Jiangling died, just the year I was born, that Zhang Shoufu died miserably, when he was alive, he was almost the regent of the dynasty, the hundred officials bowed their heads, the emperor was afraid, but as soon as the person died, he was exterminated by the emperor, the eldest son was forced to commit suicide, and more than a dozen people were starved to death in the mansion, and then the title of Wenzhong and the title of Taishi were also deprived, so he sent the coffin to kill the corpse, and the bones were scattered, that is, Xiao Yu admired Zhang Jiangling, coinciding with the change of dynasty, in order to depreciate the previous dynasty, this changed his nickname to Wenzheng, and there is today's posthumous mourningγ β
Xu Beiyou smiled, "Master Zhao is reminding me not to follow the old path of Zhang Jiangling? β
Master Zhao snorted and stopped talking.
Xu Beiyou didn't think much about this topic, and instead said: "Master Zhao was also the one who led the troops back then, I don't know if he still wants to get a great military feat today, or even go down in history, and it will be remembered for eternity?"
Zhao Qing, an old man who is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, is not a young man with strong blood, hearing Xu Beiyou's words, he did not feel too excited, but was a little more cautious for fear of being calculated, and said carefully: "The old man is old and lacks mental strength, except for thinking that he can seek a path of ascension in his lifetime, there is no other thought, so the general's military exploits are still left to those young people." β
Looking at Zhao Qing, who was not fooled, Xu Beiyou said dumbly: "Master Zhao's words are wrong, Master Zhao's cultivation of the Five Emperors Fist is indispensable to the Qi of the Son of Heaven, but the Qi of the Son of Heaven is indispensable to the imperial court, it is precisely because Master Zhao has worked tirelessly to protect the imperial court over the years that he can continue to get the qi of the Son of Heaven from the hands of the imperial court.
Zhao Qing turned his head to look at Xu Beiyou, expressionless.
Xu Beiyou also looked at him, his face full of sincerity.
The two were speechless for a long time, and in the end, Zhao Qing took a step back and said with a straight face: "What does the general command, to put it bluntly, Zhao Qing must do his best." β
Master Zhao was serious. Xu Beiyou waved his hand and smiled: "With Master Zhao's ability, it's just a gesture." β
Zhao Qing subconsciously narrowed his eyes and asked: "The old man has not led the troops for a long time, it is fine if he guards one place, but if he commands such a big battle with thousands of troops and horses, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, the fighter plane is fleeting, and the old man is negligent in the battle formation, so it is better to leave it to Wei Wuji and these juniors." β
Xu Beiyou smiled lightly: "The achievements on the battlefield do not necessarily have to be strategized thousands of miles away in the handsome tent, isn't it not an achievement to capture the flag before the battle?"
Zhao Qing's eyes froze, "In this way, the general wants the old man to kill people, I don't know which general to let the old man behead, and which flag to capture?"
Xu Beiyou said: "Since you have arrived outside Jiangling City, the person who wants to be killed is naturally Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, Xiao Jin, who has been a confidant of the imperial court after three dynasties. The reason why there will be a rebellion of the three feudatories this time is completely because of Xiao Jin's leadership, so if Xiao Jin does not get rid of it, there will be endless troubles, and even if we quell the rebellion of the three feudatories this time, maybe there will be a rebellion of the four feudatories and a rebellion of the five feudatories in the future. But if Xiao Jin is eliminated, it will be better than 100,000 troops, not only will there be no worries, but the current Wei army will also collapse in an instant. β
Zhao Qing used to work with Xiao Jin, so he naturally knew the importance of Xiao Jin, and knew that what Xu Beiyou said was good, but because of this, he also knew Xiao Jin's power, he had been hidden for many years, and he was good at scheming, and there were many backs, if it wasn't a last resort, Zhao Qing didn't want to fight Xiao Jin, even if he ranked higher than Xiao Jin on the Tianji list, it was still the case.
Seeing Zhao Qing's hesitant expression, Xu Beiyou waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is too worried, such a major matter as killing Xiao Jin, it is naturally appropriate for me to take action personally, after all, the King of Wei is not more than ordinary people, but an immortal who was once as famous as the later founding lord Wanyan Beiyue, no matter how many mysterious means there are, it is not surprising, so it is more appropriate for me to take action personally." β
Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what does the general want the old man to do?"
Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand and pointed to Jiangling City, "Beside Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, there is a monk from the King Kong Temple of Baozhu Kingdom, with the name of the sixth, it is said that he has cultivated to a golden body, and he has the realm of the seventeenth floor of the earth immortal. β
Zhao Qing said with a smile: "Who is the old man, it turned out to be this person, the golden body of Buddhism is used to be beaten, it is not bad, it can be used to beat people, it is like tickling, the old man is on this person, and he is guaranteed to let him only have the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back, the general can let go of it, and there is no need to worry about someone disturbing him." β
Xu Beiyou hummed softly, and then his five fingers fell down in turn, holding the hilt of the sword that was three feet above his waist.
Although there are two of them, they are soldiers in the city.
