Chapter 214: Winning the Road of No Return

Ming Yuzhen is about forty years old, and at first glance it doesn't look very unusual, but she just glanced at it, and it looked a little hideous.

Compared with the famous Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui in the rest of the sub-altars, Ming Yuzhen is much more inconspicuous. In the past few years, Zhao Yu has only heard of his name, but Ming Yuzhen's own low-key and the lack of action under his command have gradually ignored this person.

However, such a middle-aged man, who was not well-known among the Red Turban armies of all walks of life, was able to suddenly rise up and occupy almost the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu in the season when all parts of the country were frustrated! Although there are many factors that are in a safe corner of the land of Sichuan and Shu and that it is extremely difficult for the Yuan court to penetrate the raiders, this person's talent should not be underestimated.

For Ming Yuzhen, Zhao Yu only learned some from Yang Xiao's mouth, and knew that this person was an alternative in the local altars, and the Ming Sect had been chaotic for many years, but this person's loyalty to the general altar had never changed, and it was only with Yang Xiao's support that he gradually grew into the master of the Sichuan and Shu branch altars, and Yang Xiao could be regarded as having the grace of knowing him.

However, Zhao Yu did not relax his vigilance because of this. In these years, he has been in a high position, and he has a deep feeling, the higher the status, the more difficult it is to do what he wants, even if Ming Yuzhen is loyal to the Ming Sect, but it is difficult to ensure that he has no other thoughts under his command. He would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that although Ming Yuzhen put on a deferential attitude, he would obey his words as the sect leader.

Therefore, when passing by Lanzhou, Zhao Yu did not rush straight to Ming Yuzhen's military camp in the south of Lanzhou City, but summoned Ming Yuzhen on the nearest avenue.

With Ming Yuzhen, in addition to a deputy altar master of the Sichuan and Shu branch altars, there was also a strategist named Liu Zhen under Ming Yuzhen. This Liu Zhen is the same as Liu Bowen. They are all from the Yuan Dynasty Jinshi, and their bearing and conversation are unusual, and the questions raised are quite sharp. As soon as the two met, Liu Zhen stood up and said to Zhao Yu: "Although he is not a member of the Ming Sect, he has long admired the name of the sect leader! Xu Shouhui is unruly and unruly, and he has put the title of Ming in vain, where is the main altar of the Ming Sect? If the sect leader intends to crusade against Xu Shouhui, the Ming marshal is also willing to raise troops to go out of Shu. Do your best!"

After Ming Yuzhen heard this. He also hurriedly said: "This is exactly what it should be! The sect leader's first ascension to the throne is precisely the mandate of this sect, and it is time to lift up the spirit and eliminate the evils. The time to raise the army and raise a great cause! If the sect leader is sent. Ming Yuzhen's liver and brain smeared the ground. Do it too!"

Zhao Yu just smiled, signaled the two of them to be calm, and then asked, "Master Mingtan." When I went out of the Jade Gate Pass, I once ordered all the Red Turban Armies in the world to sweep away the mountain gates of various factions. I don't know what happened to the mountain gate of the Emei faction in Sichuan, Shuzhong?"

Ming Yuzhen was slightly embarrassed after hearing this, and she didn't know what Zhao Yu meant, and then glanced at Liu Zhen beside her. Liu Zhen took a step forward and said respectfully: "It's really ashamed, because the various factions are besieging Guangmingding, and the people of our department are fluctuating, and we want to go out of Shu to help, but we were ambushed by Li Siqi's army under Lanzhou City, and we led the troops back, and we had no time to complete the sect leader's order!"

Zhao Yu nodded, clapped his hands and smiled: "At that time, I didn't think about it, but fortunately, you didn't listen to this foolish order and turned against the Emei faction." We Mingjiao want to make great things, we can no longer stick to the narrow grudges in the rivers and lakes in the past, and we must unite all the forces that can be united. Although the Emei faction is only a sect on the rivers and lakes, it also has great prestige among the people in the land of Sichuan and Shu. ”

Ming Yuzhen responded with a full mouth, but still did not give up, and continued to ask: "Sect Master, what should Xu Shouhui do?

Yang Xiao frowned and said, "If you are not in your position, you will not be in charge." You only take care of the Sichuan and Shu branch altars, and the affairs of Huguang, the sect leader has his own plans!"

Zhao Yu signaled Yang Xiao to be calm for a while, and then said to Ming Yuzhen: "The canon is the canon, if everyone doesn't follow it, what's the use of asking for it! Xu Shouhui's apostasy and self-reliance will eventually ask him to give an explanation and give justice to the people in the world. ”

After Ming Yuzhen heard this, she had to temporarily give up the investigation of this matter, and then invited Zhao Yu and others to Sichuan and Shu to stabilize the hearts of the sect. Zhao Yu excused the urgency of the war in Jiangnan and refused.

After sending Ming Yuzhen and his entourage away, Yang Xiao sighed and said: "Shocking! I didn't expect this sect to be scattered in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains to this point, and that Ming Yuzhen, who has always been obedient, actually had a different mind! In this way, the righteous name of our general altar is really nothing." ”

He turned his head again and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "The sect leader just replied to him, and his posture is too low! What if he forces this Ming Yuzhen to send troops? If not, if he is directly captured, will the tens of thousands of sect members in Sichuan and Shu also openly disobey the sect master's orders?"

Zhao Yu didn't care and said: "It's expected, and it's worth being angry." The so-called great righteousness is a false name, and if it is put into practice, it cannot be reversed! He has been grasping Xu Shouhui's affairs, but he just wants me to show an attitude. If I tolerate adultery, I am afraid that he will also meet the toddler. Look at this person's style, but he is hesitant, and he is at both ends of the end, but it is not very harmful in the overall situation. With this person in charge of Shudi, it can be regarded as complementing each other. In ancient times, there was a proverb that the world has been decided, and when the chaos is great, this place is the most suitable to divide the peace, but it is difficult to do anything. The righteousness in our hands will only be effective in him after the world is decided. Besides, the current foundation is still in the south of the Yangtze River, even if he gets the enclave of Sichuan and Shu, it will not be of much help to the overall situation, so let him go. ”

Having said that, Yang Xiao was indignant after all, and said bluntly: "I was really deceived by this person's deferential appearance in the past!"

Zhao Yu smiled and persuaded: "What is this? Ming Yuzhen is just a good person, and when you arrive in Henan in a few days, when you see Liu Futong, you will know what kind of posture Xiaoxiong is!"

Soon after Ming Yuzhen left, she sent a batch of heavy grain and grass, and then left.

Yang Xiaowu said angrily: "The master of a dignified sect, but he has to endure everything and seek perfection, what is the prestige at all!"

"If you endure for a while, you can avoid the military disaster, and it is not too much of a loss. Zhao Yu said.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said quickly: "He dares to attack and kill the sect leader?"

Zhao Yu didn't say much, pulled him out of the team, rushed up a hill not far away, and looked south. Yang Xiao only saw the smoke and dust covering the sky and the sun in the distance, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Zhao Yu smacked his tongue while watching: "This Ming Yuzhen is also a great character, and he can pull up a brigade of thousands of people casually." In this way, there are at least tens of thousands of troops under his command. ”

Yang Xiao's mouth was a little dry, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said astringently: "Since the sect leader knows that Ming Yuzhen has bad intentions, why do you have to risk yourself to go to the appointment?"

Zhao Yu sighed and said: "If I don't obediently come to him and let him take a look, it will be difficult for us to pass through Shaanxi and Gansu safely! However, the disciples of the four sects of the main altar who accompanied them may not have the eyeliner of each branch altar. Rather than being chased and killed like a lost dog, it is better to gamble. Fortunately, this Ming Yuzhen is entrenched in Sichuan and Shu, and he is just a person who is content with the status quo and refuses to take risks, as long as he is given an excuse, he can settle down, and we can easily pass the pass. ”

Hearing these words, Yang Xiao couldn't help but sigh and said: "I originally thought that the gangsters in the rivers and lakes were already dangerous things in my head, but I really didn't expect that compared to the battle for hegemony in the world, these dangers are really nothing. I am deceitful, every step is terrifying, especially a hundred times!"

Zhao Yu stood on the mountain rock, and also sighed: "This is a road of no return, further call it a lonely way, and take a step back to harm the nine clans." Since you have moved your mind, you have to go all the way to the dark, if you want to advance and retreat freely, it is really delusional!"

Looking at the army under Ming Yuzhen's command that was gradually moving away, Yang Xiao said worriedly: "Then Liu Futong is not such an easy character as Ming Yuzhen to deal with, does the sect leader have a way to deal with him?"

Zhao Yu nodded and smiled: "Ming Yuzhen, this person, due to the current situation, may be able to be a hero." Liu Futong is a real hero, and when you see him, his reaction will surprise Yang Zuo!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but be curious, and began to guess how Liu Futong would deal with it, so as to be worthy of Zhao Yu's heartfelt praise several times. (To be continued......)
