Chu Laike said in surprise: "Could it be that you have already practiced the sword technique of the Ling Castle Master?" Luo Tianchu shook his head and said: "I only got the sword score two months ago, and I am still comprehending the first form. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chu Laike said: "The blood knife is nine styles, and the knife is invincible." Even if you only practice one style, it is enough to be proud of the world. Luo Tianchu said: "Yes, this knife technique is really broad and profound, there are bottlenecks everywhere, and every time you open a doorway, it is difficult." I really can't imagine how the Ling Castle Master practiced the full nine styles. ”

Chu Laike said: "Brother Ling once said to the old man that he only practiced the eight styles, and the last style was reasoned by the strange person who created this sword technique in order to make up the nine styles, and no one has practiced it so far, maybe the strange man wants to tell future generations that no matter how powerful the martial arts are, there is always a layer of realm that you can never reach, and there is no end to learning, you must know how to be satisfied." Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "The juniors have been taught." Chu Laike smiled: "This is what the lord of Lingbao said, and the old man just relayed it." With your martial arts qualifications, there will be a small success in sword skills in less than five years, and that is also the time when the old man challenges you. Luo Tianchu said in panic: "How can the junior be able to be challenged, how can he be challenged by the city lord, the challenge should be the junior." ”

Chu Laike said with a smile: "This blood demon knife has tormented the old man for half his life, and he hates and loves it. It was it that made the old man's dream of Jing Yao disillusioned, and its owner became a mountain that the old man could not shake for the rest of his life. However, I can think that there is an opponent who is more powerful than the old man and I don't feel lonely when I live in the world, so I have the motivation to catch up. Speaking of this, he sighed bitterly and said: "The kind of invincible loneliness in the world can only be known to my brother, and after him, the old man was worried that it would be difficult to see the 'Blood Knife Nine Styles' in his lifetime, but fortunately, you inherited the mantle." When you finish practicing, the old man will continue to challenge this knife, and you don't want to disappoint the old man. Luo Tianchu said excitedly: "The city lord is so worthy of it, and he must work hard in the future." Chu Laike smiled and said: "You are Brother Ling's successor, and the old man naturally has high hopes." ”

He paused, turned his head to Yang Tai and said, "What's the matter with you, your martial arts have not made much progress, but your clothes are getting brighter and brighter." Mrs. Yang smiled: "I haven't seen my eldest brother for two years, I always have to dress decently, and I can't embarrass my eldest brother." Chu Laike frowned and said: "When did you become sophisticated, is the foolish brother this kind of person, even if you come to see me naked, you are still my brother, and who dares to look down on you." Mrs. Yang blushed and said, "Yes, yes, the eldest brother taught me a lesson." Chu Laike sighed: "I remember when I first met you, you were full of pride, informal, and dressed like a peasant, but with the spirit of a hegemon. Mrs. Yang was ashamed and said, "Yes." Chu Laike said: "Although the foolish brother is in the Western Regions, there are many merchants who come and go, and he is also well-informed, I heard that the leaders of your Dongting Gang have not sought progress in the past two years, they are greedy for pleasure, and their clothing, food, housing and transportation are all poor and extravagant, and even the bed they sleep on must be inlaid with gold and jade. Don't forget that you started with 'equal wealth' and 'rich and poor'. If you leaders cannot lead by example, the army and the people will be convinced. You have defeated the Song army several times, all by virtue of the unity of the generals and the cooperation of the army and the people, if there are internal and external troubles, and the people's minds change, it will be difficult to say the next time the Song army attacks. ”

Mrs. Yang sighed bitterly: "What the eldest brother taught me is that today's Dongting Gang is not as good as before, and the foolish brother has an unshirkable responsibility, and I will definitely set an example in the future, strictly discipline my subordinates, and adhere to the original principles." Chu Laike said: "The peasant uprising is most afraid of being carried away by the victory, falling into the gentle township and unable to extricate itself, and it is rare for you to reflect." ”

Mrs. Yang said with a bitter face: "The foolish brother will definitely change, but I'm afraid that I won't have this opportunity." Chu Laike said: "Why?" Yang Taidao: "The Song Dynasty has sent another army to attack my Dongting, I don't know if I can survive this time." Chu Laike said: "How many people are there?" Yang Tai said: "There are a total of 80,000 people in the navy and army. Chu Laike said: "What is there to be afraid of 80,000, doesn't your Dongting have an army of 200,000, and hundreds of thousands of Song troops were beaten by you before, how can you be afraid of these 80,000 people." Mrs. Yang said solemnly: "Because the commander of these 80,000 people is Yue Fei." ”

As soon as they heard the name Yue Fei, Chu Laike and Luo Tianchu were silent, and their eyes also showed respect, there were many stories about Yue Fei, and each of them could be praised. The most talked-about thing is that he used his soldiers like a god, and the things that broke the golden soldiers were all classic battles with outnumbered enemies, and there was no defeat in a hundred battles, and the gold soldiers who killed were terrified. There is a helpless saying in the Jin army that "it is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army", and before it has confronted the Yue family's army, the momentum has weakened. Yue Fei has become the god of war and savior in the hearts of the people, and many families worship him as a god.

Luo Tianchu said: "Are you sure that the commander who led the troops is Yue Fei?" Yang Taidao: "I told me from the inside line of the Song Dynasty, it is absolutely true." Chu Laike said: "Isn't Yue Fei guarding in Ezhou, how could the imperial court send him to beat you?" Yang Tai sighed: "This is actually an agreement between him and Zhao Gou." Luo Tianchuqi said: "What agreement?" Yang Tai explained: "Yue Fei wanted to send troops to attack Qi and recover Lianghe and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and repeatedly wrote to the imperial court to ask for orders to send troops, but the imperial court just didn't allow it, and finally Zhao Gou agreed with him that as long as he could destroy my Dongting, he would agree to Yue Fei's request to send troops." Luo Tianchu exclaimed: "That means that Yue Fei's purpose in attacking you is actually to attack Qi?" Yang Tai said: "That's right, you said that we are not unlucky." ”

Luo Tianchu muttered: "It is Yue Fei's lifelong wish to recover the rivers and mountains, and he will definitely go all out to fight you." Yue Fei's fame is too great, and the fact that he attacked him alone is enough to shock the hearts of the army. Mrs. Yang sighed: "Yes, although I have temporarily closed the news, the military and civilians will know sooner or later." Chu Laike frowned and said, "Then what are you still doing here, you should stay in Dongting to prepare for war." Yang Taidao: "I gave Song Ting's inner line a heavy gift, asking him to delay Yue Fei's army, and on the grounds of insufficient grain and grass, he gave Yue Fei a month of grain and grass late, so that I have a month of preparation time, and I didn't come here to buy horses, but just to ask my eldest brother for help in person." Chu Laike said: "Anyway, what can the foolish brother help you, and what he can help must help." Yang Taidao: "The eldest brother's martial arts are world-famous, and taking the head of the general in the million army is like probing for something, as long as the eldest brother can kill Yue Fei for the younger brother, the Yue family army has no leader, and there is no need to be afraid." ”

Chu Laike shook his head and said, "This foolish brother can't help you." Yue Fei is also a person respected by the foolish brother, and it is too unorthodox to kill him by such means. Moreover, Tibet is a neutral country, so doing so is tantamount to starting a war against the Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty will hate me to the core, and your eldest brother will never do anything that people look down on. ”

Mrs. Yang said gloomily: "What the eldest brother said is, I'll find a way again." Chu Laike said angrily: "When did you become so timid and afraid, no matter how powerful Yue Fei is, he is also a human being, what is there to be afraid of." Your troops are twice as strong as his, you have more experience in water warfare, and you are on your own territory, as long as you command it properly, what is the great thing about the Yue family's army. Mrs. Yang sighed: "The richer a person is, the less courage he has, who he is afraid of when we revolt, it is a big deal to give a cheap life, and if you send it, you will send it." Now that I have money, I have more worries. Although the younger brother regarded the Song Dynasty naval army as child's play. But only Yue Fei didn't have the confidence to deal with it. Chu Laike said: "Then what are you going to do?" Yang Tai said: "The little brother has also come up with three countermeasures. Before that, I first went to Bianliang to meet with Liu Yu, the king of Qi, and asked him to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty and relieve me of the danger of Dongting. In fact, my Dongting and Qi State have already secretly formed an alliance to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, I thought that Liu Yu would readily agree, but who knew that he said that Qi Guo had recently lost troops and lost generals, and his vitality was greatly damaged, no matter how much I promised him benefits, he just politely refused. ”

Luo Tianchu said: "What he said is not true, the Jinqi coalition army has repeatedly offended me, and the Qi country has always acted as cannon fodder, and the loss is also the greatest." Yang Taidao: "Brother Luo, don't get me wrong, our alliance with the Qi State is only to deal with the Song Dynasty, and there is absolutely no intention to target Guanzhong, although the Qi State has this idea, but I rejected it." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The combination of interests, of course I understand, I won't misunderstand." Yang Taidao: "My second thought is to ask the eldest brother to assassinate Yue Fei, the eldest brother's statement just now is also within my expectations, and now there is only the third way left." Chu Laike said: "What way." (To be continued.) )
