Chapter 178: The Prosperity Falls, and the Troubled Times Fall (continued)

Han Fei's order was issued, and the entire Mingjiao institution was operational, although it suffered several blows, the foundation of Mingjiao was still there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe so-called three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and the money and grain accumulated by the Ming Sect were transported to the front line in an instant, and Fu Youde and others on the front line received Han Fei's order. Both worried and happy, happy that he and others can be valued by the sect leader, promoted to the Five Elements Banner Banner Leader, can better serve the Ming Sect, and also shows that the efforts of himself and others, the sect leader has not forgotten. The worry is that the sect leader trusts them so much, and actually entrusts them with such a heavy responsibility, which is both trust and great pressure.

I only listened to Tang He and said: "We have only joined the Ming Sect for more than ten years, and at least a few years, but we can get the trust and value of the sect leader, this time we must complete the task perfectly, capture Shudi, and not let the sect leader down." ”

Chang Yu Chunlang said: "That's right, although we have merit, our prestige is not enough to subdue the military hearts of the soldiers of the Five Elements Banner, and this is also our opportunity." If we can complete the task, we will serve as the flag bearer so that we can feel at ease, but if we fail, even if the sect leader trusts, we will not have the face to occupy a high position and block the path of virtue. ”

"Since the Five Elements Banner has been a few flag bearers who have died or hidden, the number of people staring at the position of the flag bearers is innumerable, and the sect leader has the ability to override the public opinion, and we have been promoted to the flag bearers. Ladies and gentlemen, this time we will fight a good battle, so that the jealous and unconvinced people will be convinced, and there is nothing to say. "There are rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes, even if it is Mingjiao, it cannot be an exception. Han Fei turned a blind eye to this, as long as it was healthy competition, Han Fei not only did not stop it, but also encouraged it. Only in this way can we better revitalize Mingjiao.

"Brother Feng is right. We are lowly bodies, and we have no way to repay the kindness of the master. However, the sect leader is interested in the world, so we will do our best to learn in our lives, open up territory for the sect leader, and establish immortal achievements. ”

Several of them are contemporary celebrities, strategizing, winning thousands of miles, and full of wisdom for a while. Sharpen the knife Huohuo, just wait for the grain and grass to arrive, you can implement the plan in your heart, and rush to attack Shu in one go・・・・・・

Daming Palace.

As soon as he received an urgent report from all over the country, Zhu Houzhao was already so busy for a while that he couldn't take care of Mingjiao at all. I saw Zhu Houzhao's face like frost, and he said coldly: "There is also a Tsing Yi Building, there is actually a person who is so proficient in astrological divination." I was caught off guard. It's so good!" The more he said, the more Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth with hatred. As soon as the opportunity appeared, the news of the rebellion came, and if it wasn't for the early planning, how could it be so fast.

"Mongolia, Qing Guo, Li Zicheng, Taiping Wang, and Mingjiao, before I knew it, there were so many enemies around me, it can be said that a pack of wolves looked around. It's a pity that the essence of Daming is not something you can understand, even if it is one against five, Daming is also victorious and undefeated. In Zhu Houzhao's view, only the Mongol Great Yuan can make Zhu Houzhao feel great pressure if he uses the strength of the whole country to attack, otherwise, the King of Ruyang alone is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty. As for Qing Guo and Li Zicheng, they are just scabies, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

And Mingjiao, there are 50,000 troops stationed in Shudi, and Mingjiao is a caged bird. Even, in order to completely trap Mingjiao, Zhu Houzhao dispatched another 30,000 troops to Shudi. In this way, even if the 80,000 army of Shu could not annihilate the Mingjiao, it could trap the Mingjiao in the Western Regions and could not advance south. The hinterland of the Central Plains, the place where outstanding people and spirits, and the gathering of dragon energy, have always been a place guarded by heavy soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, a white figure appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao asked, "Master Wuji, how is the situation in the south?" The south has always been a place of scruples in the heart of the Ming Emperor, which is a problem left by the internal struggle for the throne within the Ming imperial family, and it has not been solved after hundreds of years.

"The emperor is relieved that General Xu Da, one of the only three remaining famous generals in the world, led the army to resist, and the King of Taiping could not bargain. ”

"Haha, what the master said is right, with Xu Guogong coming out, he will be able to sweep away the crowd and wipe out the forces of the Taiping King to prevent future troubles. Zhu Houzhao is happy.

"Report, enlighten the emperor, Shu urgent letter. Suddenly, a eunuch shouted outside the door.

Zhu Houzhao and Traceless Son glanced at each other, feeling bad.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly snatched the letter, and when he saw it, his face changed suddenly, gloomy and blue. His trembling hands, his trembling lips, were so excited that he couldn't speak. He muttered, "This is the second time, the second time." This is the second time that he has been defeated since Zhu Houzhao had a bad relationship with the master of the Ming Sect. Half-loud, Zhu Houzhao, who was relieved, couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "Waste, it's all waste, is it possible that except for Xu Guogong, no one in the Ming Dynasty can worry about me?"

"The Emperor~"

Zhu Houzhao lost his eyes and said: "Shu is in danger!"

"What?" "Traceless Gongzi was shocked and wondered, "Isn't there an army of 50,000 in Shudi, and there is also an old general Gu Cheng stationed there, how can it be ・・・・・・?"

"Hmph, Gu Cheng misbelieved the slander, fell for the enemy's tricks, lost 20,000 of 50,000 horses, and retreated to Jiangzhou. Before the arrival of 30,000 horses, how could they resist the Ming Sect with low morale. I thought that Gu Cheng was scheming, stable, and able to defend Shu for me, but who knew that Gu Cheng misunderstood me. Misleading the country and the people should be punished for their crimes!"

"If you retreat to Jiangzhou, won't Shu have no power to stop the Ming Sect?

"Once Gu Cheng is defeated, the rest of the counties in Shu are only a few thousand, how can they be the opponents of the Ming Sect soldiers like wolves and tigers? For the sake of today's plan, we can only let them retreat to Jiangzhou and preserve their vitality. ”

"But Shudi?"

"Don't do it, take it as a lesson from my failure. As long as Jiangzhou is held, the Ming Sect will not be able to threaten the Central Plains. Wait for Xu Guogong to solve the Taiping King forces in the south, and then turn back to solve Mingjiao. "In comparison, the Taiping King's strength is far above that of Mingjiao, and there is the support of Tsing Yi Lou behind him. Although the loss of a Shu land made Zhu Houzhao's heart like a knife, he was also a very courageous person, and he recalled his troops to retreat to Jiangzhou when he knew that he could not do anything.

"Hmph, just let you run rampant for a while, it is difficult for Shu Dao to go to the blue sky, but for the great grandmaster, it is like walking on the ground, you don't have a top grand master, how can you resist my royal master?" Zhu Houzhao sneered in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao gave an order, and as soon as the news arrived, the defenders of all counties in Shu retreated.

"Brother Feng, Da Ming actually withdrew his troops?" Chang Yuchun said in surprise.

"Hey, this Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao is also a very courageous person"

"What do you mean by that?" asked one of the altar owners.

Tang He said: "This is to retreat as advance, if the battle in Shu is again, I teach to master the territory and people now, if the Ming Dynasty does not have absolute troops, it will not be our opponent." However, the two armies confronted each other in Jiangzhou, and the key to victory or defeat was not in our southwest, but in the south. ”

Deng Yu said: "In Shudi, it is still the radiation range of our Mingjiao influence, there are many believers, and the fact that we were able to break through the city a few days ago is the secret help of believers, otherwise, even if the plan can be successful, it will not be so perfect." ”

"Haha, no matter what, we can be regarded as having completed the task of the sect leader and have not disappointed the sect leader. ”

Everyone smiled when they heard this.

"The next thing is to sweep away the remaining Ming forces in various places and completely take Shu into the bag. ”

"How to deal with the Jianghu sect in Shudi?"

Feng Guosheng said solemnly: "The sect leader has already commanded, but now the people's hearts are not stable, and everything is stable. As long as they are not hostile to our Ming Sect, they don't need to be left alone? As for these big forces of the Emei Tang Sect, the heads of the sects are not stupid people, and they must know how to do it. ”

"Those who oppose my religion will be killed!" At the sound of the order, the war was rekindled, the family was ruined, and the people were starved. Shu has added countless lonely souls and wild ghosts. But it is more about understanding current affairs and relying on Mingjiao. Of course, these sects of Emei and Tangmen. It's all closed and neutral.

This is true in the southwest, and the northwest is also full of war. The wolf smoke was everywhere, and on a scorching summer day, the corpses and bones all over the ground exuded a disgusting smell in the fierce summer wind. The wind was lined up, the yellow sand rolled up the scorched flags, and in the long sand, the smoking wood emitted a disgusting stench. Several vultures hovered over several corpses that had not yet been completely buried by the sand, and several arrows were still on the corpses, but the broken spear was still in the corpse's hand. In the distance, the shouts of tearing and killing are endless, and perhaps there will be tens of thousands more corpses tomorrow morning. The yin wind began to howl angrily, as if to awaken the dead soul.

The Ming Dynasty has a strong heritage, wearing tens of millions of armor, many generals, and countless good generals. In addition to taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Ming generals to seize the opportunity to occupy several counties, Li Zicheng has now done nothing, and he is suppressed by the famous Ming general Qiu Yue so much that he can only trap the Yumen Pass. The Qing Dynasty in the northeast was another Ming general, Li Chengliang, who was beaten to the ground, and the anti-Qing forces such as the Red Flower Society and the White Lotus Sect in China were endless, and the territory that the Qing had just occupied was recovered by Li Chengliang and his army, and he did not take advantage of it at all.

The four sides are confrontational, and the eyes of the world are on the Jiangnan battlefield in the south. Xu Da, who was the most able to win in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, disappointed Zhu Houzhao this time. In the south of the Yangtze River, the power of the Taiping King is deep-rooted, even if Xu Da is extremely capable, there are few opponents in the art of war. But it is only one step higher than Gong Jiu, and in the south, the difference between the two sides will be made up at once. This also made Zhu Houzhao understand why his father attached so much importance to the strength of the Taiping King, and he was afraid of it all his life. The south, to be precise, the south of the Yangtze River, is not something that he Zhu Houzhao can touch now.

Zhu Houzhao, who learned the news, was already furious, the five sides confronted, and the army of the Ming Dynasty could not be deployed normally.

"The emperor is a little restless, the Qing country itself is difficult to protect, and it is no longer able to invade the border of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the emperor will exert his strength again to catch it all. Now the iron gallant god Hou Zhu ignored the jumping up and down, secretly colluding with generals from all over the world, and the whetstone left by the emperor back then can be removed now that the knife technique has been completed. ”

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "It's not just Zhu Ignorance, but also Cao Zhengchun, the undercover agent of Tsing Yi Building, it's time to get rid of it." Dragon Guardian Villa is a force that is not weak, if you want to subdue them, you still need a few spies to see Zhu Wu's face. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to use it. Let's start with Shangguan Haitang, a disciple of Master Without a Trace. ”

After this war, the prosperous Ming Dynasty was no longer visible, only the ubiquitous wails and screams, and the people who had taken refuge everywhere.

You don't see it, Qinghai head, no one collects the white bones in ancient times, the new ghosts complain about the old ghosts crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy. (To be continued.) )
