Chapter 446: The Dark Tide is surging
As the two were talking, they heard a cold voice say, "Duplicity, shameless." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Han immediately jumped up and shouted: "Who dares to slander this son? Get out of here?"
As soon as Xiao Han's words fell, he saw four women dressed in black flash by the river, who were the four Mei Yuqin sisters. The one who spoke just now was Lou Yutong, the youngest, and the four of them slowly approached. Xiao Han was relieved when he saw the four of them, and first glanced at the beautiful Tu Yuxuan, and said happily: "Are you here to thank Bengongzi?"
Lou Yutong chirped: "Who wants to thank you? You almost killed us, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet." Xiao Han glanced at Tu Yuxuan again and said, "What does Miss Tu have to say?" Tu Yuxuan glanced at him and said softly: "You want to annihilate my Demon Sect, are you disappointed to see that we are okay now?"
Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I don't care about others, you can't have anything, I'm still waiting to call you sister-in-law in the future." One sentence made Tu Yuxuan blush. Lou Yutong said angrily: "Nonsense, who wants to be your sister-in-law?" Xiao Han sneered: "Adults speak, little girls shut up." ”
Lou Yutongteng blushed suddenly, and was about to scold, Xiao Han snorted and said: "I have already met Senior Brother Duan, Uncle He, and Uncle Diao, if the two of you want to succeed, unless the mountains and rivers collapse, Xia Yuxue, and without the help of my son, you can't elope if you want to." ”
Lou Yutong's face was red, and he pulled out the Heavenly Demon Sword and rushed over. Murong Qiuyu drew his sword to meet him, and the two immediately fought in one place. Lou Yutong was not Murong Qiuyu's opponent, and after a few moves, he fell behind. Xiao Han had no intention of persuading him at all, but instead watched the battle with his hands behind his back, and every time Murong Qiuyu made a move, Xiao Han applauded, but he was too ashamed of Murong Qiuyu.
Tu Yuxuan hurriedly persuaded: "Little sister can't be angry, everyone has something to say." As soon as the words fell, I saw dozens of people surrounding from all directions, and it was Xing Anping, the master of the Qinglong Hall of the Wudang Sect, who led people to outflank them.
The faces of the four changed greatly, Lou Yutong retreated with a false move, and Murong Qiuyu followed and took back the sword and stood behind Xiao Han. Lou Yutong said angrily: "Conspiracy and trickery, so shameless." Mei Yuqin said sharply: "The martial arts of the official mansion of the head of Xiao are all-enviable. It's a pity that now the three sects trust Tang Wenxing, and the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, this girl wants to see how long the Wudang faction can be arrogant without the protection of the three sects and thirty-six factions?"
Tang Wenxing became famous through the Tang Army, and he has become a nightmare of a new generation of Demon Sect, and has faintly become a new generation of leaders in the rivers and lakes. Xiao Han didn't even show his face in the Battle of Jiangling, and there were many rumors in the rivers and lakes, saying everything, but he didn't know that Xiao Han had been staying in Jiangling City to participate in the battle to destroy the country.
There are gains and losses, and he helped Zheng Wang Li Congshan to win the two countries, but he lost the fame of the rivers and lakes, and fulfilled Tang Wenxing, where does this make people reasonable? Xiao Han sighed secretly, waved his hand and ordered Xing Anping to retreat, and then glanced at Tu Yuxuan and said: "Xiaoshi Village tryst, if there is no Ben Gongzi, you have been in the morning, and now you don't come to thank Ben Gongzi, but you will take revenge and speak coldly, it is really kind and not rewarding, it is chilling." ”
The faces of the four changed greatly, and Tu Yuxuan exclaimed: "You were the Taoist priest that night?" Seeing that Xiao Han was smiling and silent, Lou Yutong shook his head again and again: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it was a square-faced Taoist priest and a village maid that night, how could it be the two of them?"
Xiao Han said lightly: "It is also a common thing to change appearance on the rivers and lakes, and my son is afraid of the black hand of the Demon Sect, so he naturally wants to dress up." It's natural that you can't see it, it's just that Ben Gongzi helped you, should you show something?" stared at Tu Yuxuan with two eyes and said: "The good things of Miss Tu and Senior Brother Luo, this Gongzi will take care of it, as long as I Xiao Han is here, I promise that the two of you will achieve good things." ”
Tu Yuxuan's face turned red and said, "It was really you that night?" Murong Qiuyu nodded slightly, Tu Yuxuan sighed slightly, and said softly: "I thought it was strange at that time, the little Taoist priest spoke very similar to you, but the stars and the moon were dim, and you pressed your throat, so naturally you couldn't see it." ”
Gui Yulin said: "Master Xiao has a lot of connections with the Tianshan faction, so naturally he is trying to save Luo Beihong and Duan Xiliu. Now that the Divine Sect is traveling westward, Master Xiao is naturally proud, I heard that the Luo brothers were ordered to come to you, and my sister wants to ask them about it, I wonder if Master Xiao can let them come out to meet?"
Xiao Han was stunned and said: "What are you kidding, the three sects are going back to the mountain, where can I see them?" The four of them saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and after glancing at each other, Lou Yutong said: "No, it is true that the elders of the three sects returned to the mountain, but the three Luo Beihong brothers turned to the east, and the three young men of the Emei faction also followed the east, and they came to Jinling to find you." My sister has just come with me, and if you tell lies to your face, won't you lose your demeanor?"
Murong Qiuyu said softly: "We really haven't seen Senior Brother Luo, maybe they have something else important." Xiao Han immediately thought that the three of them must have come to investigate the identity of Gu Zhonghe, and thought that Diao Beidou and the four of them had a feeling, so he sent them to find out. As everyone knows, now the crane in the valley has not only appeared, but also the Tianshan faction's favorite beauty Sunan Xing has also come out, if the Tianshan faction learns the news, will it hold a grand ceremony?
Xiao Han was in a reverie, Tu Yuxuan sighed, and suddenly changed the topic: "We met Senior Lan on the Yangtze River with Miss Chai going east, and Miss Chai is now thin and out of appearance, which is really pitiful. Xiao Han didn't know what she meant by this, he felt like a knife in his heart, but his face looked very flat, and he shook his head and sighed: "People are in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, and everyone has their own destiny." Senior Sister Chai has her own opinions, even Uncle Lan can't be the master, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, so she still returns to the palace to be safe. ”
Mei Yuqin hummed: "Sisters, let's go, don't talk nonsense with him anymore." Tu Yuxuan glanced at Xiao Han meaningfully and said, "Although there is Miss Li and Miss Murong, we can't forget the good old days. Xiao Han couldn't hear the meaning of her words, and said with a wry smile: "I want to, but unfortunately things are not as simple as you think." ”
Tu Yuxuan said softly: "Thank you for your help that day, he will have a report in the future." Xiao Han was a little excited, waved his hand and said: "You go to your people, I have my own opinions, and I don't need to worry about Miss Tu." Tu Yuxuan's face changed slightly, glanced at him, and turned his head to leave.
Lou Yutong snorted angrily: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, he is a mad dog, whoever bites him, my sister will ignore him." He followed quickly. The four little devils turned around and left, Xiao Han sighed, stared blankly at the confused water vapor on the river, his heart was confused, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Murong Qiuyu said softly, "Let's go back." Xiao Han looked back and smiled: "Don't worry too much, in my heart, you are the same as Ying'er, you will always be the first." Murong Qiuyu's face was calm, and he said lightly: "You have said many times that people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, everyone has their own destiny, as long as they live happily every day, even if they die tomorrow."
Xiao Han was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "People have a wound in the mouth, don't say these unlucky words, no matter what I do, you and Ying'er must believe me, without you, I will have no meaning and value of survival on the rivers and lakes." Murong Qiuyu wiped a trace of blush on his face, and said softly: "Let's go." ”
Xiao Han took her hand, and the two returned to King Zheng's mansion in Jinling. Li Congshan was very happy to see the two of them regain their original appearance, and immediately called Li Yueying over. When Li Yueying saw the two coming back, she was so happy that she hugged the two and yelled. Xiao Han was very happy, Li Yueying actually recognized the two of them, and it was obvious that the illness was much stronger than before.
Li Congshan specially set up a family banquet to entertain the two, and talked about the expedition during the banquet, Xiao Han made a post-war summary, saying a lot of problems in the Tang army, Li Congshan listened very carefully, and asked him for a solution. Xiao Han naturally knew everything, and the two talked happily.
After the meal, the two came to the secret room again to discuss, Murong Qiuyu and Li Yueying lived in the same room, the two moved and quiet, and got along very harmoniously, but Princess Zheng was dumbfounded, and I didn't know where Xiao Han got the blessing.
Li Congshan closed the door of the house, his face suddenly became serious, and he turned around and sat opposite Xiao Han to talk about the affairs of the court. Now that Nanping and Wuping have died, Li Yu was very excited, and after worshipping the heavens and ancestors, he convened the ministers to discuss the gains and losses of the Huaibei Battle that year, and saw that there was an intention to raise troops to recover Huainan.
Xiao Han didn't expect history to change his direction, and even the famous soft egg gadgets burst out of courage, and they actually dared to take the initiative to challenge the Great Song Dynasty, and sure enough, people have the confidence to be different. Xiao Han congratulated Li Congshan, saying that with the current combat strength of the Tang Army, it should not be a problem to recover Huainan, but the losses will be large.
Li Congshan naturally knew, but it was a pity that Li Yu's blood was surging, and the courtiers were also carried away by the victory, and the six and eighteen states heard the wind and moved, and wrote to the imperial court to ask for the Northern Expedition, and the Tang Dynasty Navy responsible for guarding the Yangtze River has begun to take the initiative to provoke the Song army, and there have been several skirmishes between the two sides, each with losses, which was stopped by Li Congshan in time, and sent an envoy to apologize to the Song army.
Zhao Kuangyin soon learned the news of the destruction of Nanping and Wuping, and was furious, and immediately convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss sending troops, and the prime minister Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, tried their best to dissuade him, informing him that Jiangnan is now using a new method to train troops, and the combat power is not what it used to be, and it cannot be underestimated.
Zhao Pu suggested sending an envoy to question Li Yu for the crime of sending troops without permission, stating that the Tang army must be withdrawn from the two countries, otherwise the Song army would be sent to negotiate with Jiangnan. The king of Jin then pointed out that now that Jiangnan had conquered the two countries, Li Yu was bold and would definitely not listen to the advice. Now Jiangnan is taking advantage of the opportunity of the new victory to provoke, and the surrounding countries are weak, and it will definitely become Jiangnan's next target.
As soon as the Shu State is destroyed, you can overlook the south of the Yangtze River from the northwest, and then unite Wu Yue and the Southern Han to send troops to destroy the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang army is invincible, it is difficult to deal with the enemy from all directions.
History turned again, and Zhao Kuangyin immediately wrote a letter to reproach Li Yu, lodged a serious protest and warning to him, and at the same time dispatched Cao Bin and Pan Mei to lead 60,000 soldiers and horses along the river to defend. Another letter was written to Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, asking him to dispatch a naval army to guard against the Southern Tang Dynasty together with the Great Song naval army.
The Zhao family ordered Wang Quanbin to be the marshal, Cui Yanjin and Wang Renzhen to be the deputies, and led 70,000 troops to attack Shu, which was a year earlier than the real history, and the number of troops was 20,000 more. Originally, the Song army sent two lines of soldiers and horses, and the East Route Army headed by Liu Guangyi went out of the state to the west, and now it returned to the hands of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so naturally it could only send a road of troops and horses to the south along the Jialing River from Fengzhou.
After receiving the letter, Li Yu was furious and immediately summoned Li Congshan, Yan Xu, Tang Yue, Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan, Han Xizai and other ministers to discuss countermeasures. In addition to Li Congshan, the crowd was furious, and they all said that the opportunity could not be lost, and the time would not come again, just to take the opportunity to recover the lost land of Huainan.
Li Yu immediately appointed Sun Zhen as the marshal of the Jiangbei Expedition, and led the three armies of Ma Bushui to recover Huainan with 150,000 people.
When Xiao Han heard this, he stood up and said with a big change in his face: "Ridiculous." ”
