Chapter 147: Life is the same as death
When Zhao Yu hurried back to Chuzhou, he found that everyone had been waiting in Chuzhou City for a long time, the five elements of the flag envoys, deputy flag envoys, the leaders of the original Yingzhou branch of the Ming Sect, Guo Tianxu and others of the Haozhou branch, and even Xu Da, who was far away on the front line of Jiqing, sent his cronies back to Chuzhou.
Seeing this posture, Zhao Yu's face sank at first, and then asked, "But something big happened to Mingjiao?"
Liu Bowen stood up and nodded: "Monk Peng from Huguang has sent an urgent report, Shaolin, Wudang and other six major factions have mobilized people to prepare to jointly attack Guangming Peak!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "What is the situation now? Is there any news coming from the direction of Kunlun Mountain?"
"The various factions have set off one after another, such as Kongtong, Huashan and other Guanzhong sects have arrived in Guazhou, and in the Kunlun Mountains, Yang Zuo led the four gates of heaven and earth, wind and thunder to prepare for a preemptive strike, besieging the Kunlun faction's three holy passes, but they pounced!"
Zhao Yu frowned, walked around the room, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of this matter?"
Du Zundao of the Yingzhou Branch Altar muttered: "This matter should be a counterattack by the six major factions against our previous siege of Shaolin...... A few days ago, Shaolin and Kongtong Huashan factions had a bad relationship, and detained Tang Wenliang and Xian Yutong and others who caught up with Shaolin, the two sides were very confrontational for a while, and it was Wudang who sent Zhang Sanfeng to mediate, and the matter was calmed down. Our sect and the righteous path martial arts have always been on good terms, and there are deep grievances, and the six major factions are taking this opportunity to prepare to suppress the thriving momentum of our sect. ”
Tang Yang also said: "This time they have a clever layout, regardless of the details. Straight to the top of the light, it can be said that it will be saved. The blazing flame on the top of the light is the heart of the tens of millions of people in this sect, and there is no room for error!"
Everyone also expressed their opinions, all of them revolving around the safety of the bright top, which shows the turmoil caused by the actions of the six major factions in the hearts of the people of the Ming Sect.
Zhao Yu pondered for a long time, and then said: "In addition to the six major factions, which other side has changed? What is the matter with the Heavenly Eagle Sect?"
The Five Elements Banner Secret Camp has just been established, and it is not possible to remember everything in detail, Yan Yuan, who is in charge of this matter, stood up and said quite ashamedly: "The gangs in the rivers and lakes that are related to the six major factions in the two Huai, southern Anhui and other places also have some changes. It's just that the details are not yet known. As for the Aquila Cult. But before we got the news from Monk Peng, we poured out of the nest. This happened suddenly, and the attention of the previous secret camp was all in the direction of Jiqing in the southeast, and they temporarily ignored the monitoring of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and the Jianghu forces. ”
"So apart from all of you here, who else knows about this matter in Chuzhou?" Zhao Yu asked again.
Liu Bowen said: "In order to avoid people's hearts from fluctuating. I have strictly ordered that this matter not be divulged. And the six major factions seem to have this idea. There has been no publicity about it. ”
Thoughts flew in Zhao Yu's mind. Linking this matter with the current situation in Chuzhou, I thought about it for a long time before saying: "Guangming Ding is where the main altar is located. Be sure to save. However, this trip to Kunlun, thousands of miles away, the states and counties on the way are all dangerous, especially the Gan Shaanxi Yuan army is strong, and it is bound to not be able to drive directly by the brigade. Moreover, the army in the direction of Jiqing must maintain its suppression of the Yuan army and must not make any abnormal moves! The army of Chuzhou's city defense has a heavy responsibility and cannot be transferred either. Passing on our military order, 50,000 soldiers of the militia township regiment in southern Anhui gathered in Hezhou and prepared in the center. The elite camp of the Five Elements Banner will gallop with me to help the Bright Peak!"
"In addition, a curfew will be imposed in Chuzhou from now on, and those who spread rumors will not be pardoned! The Haozhou Red Turban Army will enter Huainan, and the rest will not move. Mr. Liu Bowen was in Chuzhou, and the military affairs were dispatched by Xu Da. ”
Zhao Yu gave the order while weighing it in his heart. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but at this time, he was already behind others, and he lost control of the overall situation, so he could only see the moves, hoping to regain some initiative.
Everyone left, but Zhao Yu left Liu Bowen and the flag bearers of the Five Elements Banner behind, and asked Liu Bowen: "Is this matter only limited to the rivers and lakes?" Or is there also a change in the folk Shilin?"
Liu Bowen said: "The situation in Chuzhou is still calm, and there is no clue. The strange thing about this matter is that if the six major factions want to rush thousands of miles and decide on the Guangming Peak in a battle, they should act in top secret, and gather the strength of the six factions themselves, and it is easy to capture the Guangming Peak, which is weak in defense, and there is no need to use the gangs in the rivers and lakes that are implicated in each faction to leak their deeds. Moreover, it is very strange that the Heavenly Eagle Sect can react one step ahead of Chuzhou!"
Zhao Yu said hatefully: "I really want to block these six factions in the Western Regions and kill them cleanly! It's a pity that Chuzhou's current troops are overstretched, otherwise I will definitely clear the mountain gate of the six factions, so that their gains outweigh their losses!"
After a few innocuous sighs, Zhao Yu asked Liu Bowen to leave, and then discussed with the flag envoys about the matter of rushing to the top of the light. The elite battalion of the Five Elements Banner has been expanded, and now there are two thousand, although some of them have not undergone long-term training, but they are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are the only forces that can be flexibly mobilized in Chuzhou now. In addition to leaving a section of 500 people for Liu Bowen to guard Chuzhou, the remaining 1,500 people must all go west, and the route taken must also be carefully arranged, especially when this trip turns thousands of miles, it is extremely dangerous, and the clues of the line must not be revealed.
Zhao Yu thought for a while, and then ordered Li Chengru, who had just arrived in Chuzhou with him, to tell him to dress up as himself and lead the first section of the Haozhou Red Turban Army to take advantage of the westward march into Huainan to pose as a gesture of rushing to the aid of Guangmingding. In the military, even if there are some differences in body shape and appearance, as long as it is slightly modified, it may not reveal flaws. The most important thing is that the most famous martial arts of the Demon Lord in the rivers and lakes is the flying knife stunt, and Li Chengru can play it seamlessly.
As for the Five Elements Banner galloping to the aid of the people, with the help of the cover of the Chuzhou business travel, they went up the river and then west through Xiangyang.
After the plan was agreed, everyone went to mobilize people, Zhao Yu had a moment of rest, and before he could take a breath, Hu Qingniu came to the door again and said: "The general flag envoy wants to help Guangmingding, take me!"
Zhao Yu was a little embarrassed, Hu Qingniu's medical skills were outstanding, but his martial arts were not clever, this trip was dangerous, he was inevitably sick, and he wanted to refuse at the moment, but he heard Hu Qingniu say sadly and angrily: "I have a common enmity with the Huashan faction, and I am going to take this opportunity to kill this fang!"
Zhao Yu hurriedly asked the reason, and when he heard Hu Qingniu's eyes full of tears and talk about old grievances, he nodded and said: "Then Mr. Hu will go on the road with me, this time you will get what you want, and you will not let go of Xian Yutong, who will take revenge!"
After thinking about it, he said again: "Bring that kid Zhang Wuji with you, he is a little involved with Wudang and the Heavenly Eagle Sect, or he can be of some use!"
Sleepless at night, Zhao Yu stood in the atrium, looking up at the cold moon, but he was still thinking about the siege of Guangming by the six factions in his heart. The strange thing about this incident, the dispute between good and evil and morality, is nothing but nonsense. So even if the six major factions can capture the Guangming Peak, in addition to causing chaos among the rebels of the Ming Sect, how can they benefit?
Unless the six factions want each rebel army to break the current division of the world that is about to become a trend, it is really unacceptable for them to go on an expedition just to let out a bad breath.
Or there is another party who uses the grudge between the Ming Sect and the six major factions to stir up trouble from it, like the extremely strange Heavenly Demon Sect. In this way, the leaders of the rebel army from all walks of life in the world who do not belong to the red turban system, such as Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, are all suspicious. However, they have absolutely no influence to operate this matter in the rivers and lakes, so the most suspicious person is the Yuan Court, who can benefit the most in this matter.
In fact, as early as when he heard the news that the six major factions were besieging Guangmingding, Zhao Yu had this prediction, but the successive countermeasures diluted his thoughts. After a lot of things, this idea is strong again.
Now the Yuan court will rely on the king of Ruyang as the pillar of the country, in front of the people Zhao Yu can still focus on the affairs of the military state, without meditating, but when the night is quiet, many thoughts are uncontrollably gushing out. Could it be that even if you see each other for the rest of your life, you can really only be enemies, and you can't be considered friends?
The night was as cold as water, Zhou Zhiruo walked behind Zhao Yu gently, stretched out her hand to wrap around his waist, and said softly: "Let me go with you." ”
"No!" Zhao Yu flatly refused.
Zhou Zhiruo buried her head behind him and sobbed: "The masters of the six major factions are like clouds, and my master swears to kill you again." This time, you don't have an army around you to protect you. I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll never return...... We live in one place and die in one place!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu lost some thoughts in his heart, turned around and hugged Zhou Zhiruo, and said, "Your master can't kill me, and no one can kill me!" (To be continued......)
