Chapter 196: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains
The red sun rises in the east, the sun turns to Fusang, the bright sun reflects the battlefield like yesterday's sea of blood, and all the people are sleepless all night. www.biquge.info In this war, the three thousand Junshan people brought by Hua Chong were killed and injured more than 2,000 people, and the uninjured plus the slightly injured were less than 1,000 people, and several village owners were seriously injured, but fortunately, there was no worry about their lives.
Chaotianling suffered heavy losses, with nearly 5,000 dead and wounded, more than 1,000 escapers, nearly 3,000 people captured, Wang Yu, the lord of Sanzhai, died, Jin Yongfu and Jin Yonglu died in battle, Liao Xiwen and Liao Xiwu surrendered, especially Dazhai was burned, according to Liao Xiwen's confession, there were 200,000 loads of grain in Dazhai's granary, which was enough for the Chang'an rebels for two or three years! There were also countless ordnance and armor, all of which were burned this time, and it is estimated that the rebels in Chang'an could not continue.
The destruction of military rations and ordnance this time can be regarded as an unexpected gain for them, who originally planned to go directly to Mount Emei, had to arrange for someone to go to Chang'an to report the victory, which is a great merit. Not to mention that nearly 10,000 rebels were annihilated, just the destruction of grain and grass was enough for Wang Jixian to wipe his neck.
After settling down on Chaotianling, Hua Chong left Shao Huanjie, Xu Chang, Zhao Caixia, and Shang Yunfeng's mother and daughter to temporarily guard Chaotianling. After all, the heroes who go to Emei will inevitably have a conflict with Pudu and others, and it is inconvenient for Shang Yunfeng, an Emei disciple, to participate. Let her and her daughter be closer and closer, Xu Chang's martial arts are quite high, and he is good at leading troops, and he has experience in border army combat, several village owners in Junshan were seriously injured, and let him temporarily lead the troops, which can perfectly replace the vacancies of those village owners. As for Shao Huanjie, his father was the owner of the village on the mountain, and leaving him was just right to gather people's hearts.
After arranging the affairs of Chaotianling, Hua Chong led the rest of the people back to the Di Qing camp in Chang'an. On the way, Hua Chong chatted with Liu Shijie, and after Zhong Xiong left, he knew less and less about the Imperial City Division. Gao Tian died in battle, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division was gone, and he didn't know who the imperial envoy was, he hoped to get some answers from Liu Shijie.
"Lord Hua, I'm just an ordinary member of the Imperial City Division, originally I was just a catcher, my master used to be a member of the Imperial City Division, after his death, the people of the Imperial City Division found me and asked me to join, I only knew that there was such an organization. ”
"Who is the Venerable Master?"
"The people in the rivers and lakes call the winged tiger the first teacher. ”
"Could it be Wu Yonggui, a winged tiger who is one of the five beasts of the rivers and lakes?"
"Yes. ”
Hua Chong nodded and said, "No wonder Liu Shaoxia is strong in martial arts, it turns out that he is a disciple of the Five Beasts." ”
The five beasts of the rivers and lakes are the five predecessors: Ji Qiang, the iron-armed dragon, the nine-headed bird Dongfang Baochi, the nine-headed lion Gan Mao, the winged tiger Wu Yonggui, and the two-headed dragon Xie Tonghai. Among them, the nine lions Gan Mao are Shen Zhongyuan's master! It seems that this Liu Shijie may also have something to do with Shen Zhongyuan.
Hua Chong said tentatively: "Could it be the Imperial City Division that Shen Zhongyuan invited you into?"
Liu Shijie was stunned and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I have some friendship with Shen Zhongyuan, haven't you Imperial City Division also been cooperating with our school captain's office?" Hua Chong's expression suddenly darkened, and he whispered: "It's a pity that Gao Tian, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division, sacrificed his life for the country and died in the ...... of Western Xia."
"The Yin and Yang Sect Master of Western Xia, Gao Tian, is he actually the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division?" Liu Shijie was quite shocked.
"Don't you know? Aren't you from the Imperial City Division? You don't know who the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division is?"
Liu Shijie's face flushed: "I'm just an obedient person, my boss contacts me, and I will do what I ask for, I don't even know who the imperial city envoy is......"
Hua Chong said secretly: "Is this kid acting or is it real?"
The two chatted for a while without a word, Hua Chong didn't come up with anything useful, this Liu Shijie only knew that his boss ordered him to enter Chaotianling to investigate Shao Yucheng's affairs, and if he encountered the school captain or Di Qing's men and horses attacking Chaotianling, he would have to help, and he didn't know anything else.
After arriving at the Chang'an camp, Di Qing personally went out to greet him, in the tent, Marshal Di held a banquet to celebrate the achievements of Hua Chong and others, and the entire camp improved the food today, and everyone had meat to eat!
"Lord Hua really made an extraordinary move! Three thousand men and horses have taken down the lair of the King of Xiangyang! Chaotianling has 10,000 soldiers, and the terrain is dangerous, if I am Di Qing, I am afraid that there are no 30,000 horses, and I dare not fight at all!"
Hua Chong hurriedly said modestly: "The handsome man is serious, I am also in a hurry, if I change to Wang Jixian and Wang Jizu in Chaotianling, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to win." What's more, this battle mainly relied on the village masters of Junshan and the three thousand elite people to fight bravely and compete for the lead, and the three thousand horsepower defeated the opponent's 10,000 army! I don't dare to bear this credit!"
Di Qing laughed and said: "Lord Hua, don't worry, everyone has the credit for this battle, I will play long live, and those who participate in the battle will definitely be rewarded!"
Hua Chong stood up and arched his hand and said, "Hua thanked the generals who didn't arrive." ”
After three rounds of drinking, Di Qing asked Hua Chong: "Lord Hua, you haven't been able to discover the whereabouts of King Xiangyang in this battle, what are your plans for the next step?"
"I'm going to Emei Mountain!"
"Mount Emei?" Di Qing was puzzled: "Could it be that the King of Xiangyang has fled to Mount Emei?"
"I'm not sure, but when I came from the Three Churches, Pudu once said that three months later, a martial arts hero meeting would be held in Mount Emei, and he would resign from the post of the head of the eighty-one gates, and the heroes of the world would compete for it. I think this matter may have something to do with the fact that King Xiangyang is not in Chaotianling, and it is very likely that Pudu and King Xiangyang have joined forces!"
Zhong Xiong said on the side: "I also heard some rumors about this, it is said that Pudu returned to Mount Emei to sprinkle hero posts all over the world, and hired the world's masters to attend the meeting, this time what medicine he sold in the gourd, it is really not easy to guess, but since the two of you have a feud, you have become the common enemy of him and the king of Xiangyang, and it is not impossible for the king of Xiangyang to join forces with him." ”
Hua Chong said: "I think so too, these two people are now both lost dogs, and they both regard me as their enemy, and it is quite possible to join forces." Outside Chaotian Ridge, the place where the King of Xiangyang is sheltered is either Chang'an City or Mount Emei! In this battle, we burned the grain of Chaotian Ridge, if the King of Xiangyang is in Chang'an, it will only be a matter of time before Marshal Di breaks through the city, if he is in Mount Emei, this time I must hold him with my own hands!"
Zhong Xiong praised: "Okay! Lord Hua knows that there are tigers in the mountain, and he prefers to go to Tiger Mountain! Sure enough, it is the wind of heroes! This hero of Mount Emei will only be afraid of being like the tiger's den in Longtan, Lord Hua, you must be careful!"
Hua Chong thanked and said: "Thank you for reminding us that although this time is extremely dangerous, which time did we not go to the sea of swords and fires before? Hongze Lake, Xiangyang City, Yama Village, Xixia Kingdom, we have been fighting in the east and west for the past few years, we have not been home for a long time, no matter how dangerous Mount Emei is, I will also go, Xiangyang King! I will kill it!"
