Chapter Thirty-Seven: Prisoners and Guests

PS: On a mobile client recommendation, martial arts boutiques, when the chivalrous bookworm said, I didn't care, but now I look at it, it's only one night, the collection has risen by more than 100, I'm really stunned.

Chapter 37 Prisoners and Guests

"Cang Fei has gathered a large army and is preparing to attack the Central Plains, and we will have a big fight with him soon. Qin's army is strong, and we should abandon our previous suspicions, put aside our prejudices, and unite as one, so that we can have hope for victory. The Budai monk said that he couldn't put his hands together, and said.

His words were obviously said to the righteous people, don't look at the previous they united to deal with the Yuan soldiers, and discussed forming an alliance to deal with Cangfei, but there was a lot of dirt between the two sides.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "We raised troops to revolt, but to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, we have already arrived in the capital that day, but you are bent on returning to the Central Plains, let us miss the opportunity, now the Yuan Dynasty has not been overthrown, but to start a war with the Han brothers, which is the truth." ”

His tone was indignant, and he looked indignant.

Xu Da also said: "Yes! Why do we let go of the Mongols and fight to the death with our own people?"

He has an honest face, which is doubly convincing.

"Amitabha!" Kongwen clasped his hands together and said: "The Yuan soldiers have declined, and it is only a matter of time before they are driven out of the customs, I don't care about this day or two days, but if Cang Fei enters the Central Plains, it will not be easy to drive him away." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang blamed the Mingjiao for withdrawing from the army, but the Mingjiao side did not explain, but heard that they were playing a round, which seemed very strange.

But in fact. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to return to the Central Plains was entirely because the Shaolin Temple was making a hindrance.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the leader of the righteous army pushed out by the Shaolin Temple, but the interests of the two sides are not completely identical. Shaolin Temple values Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to fight well, and his subordinates are full of talents and have the capital to dominate the world.

And Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to get the support of Shaolin Temple and Zhengdao, after all, now the big rebels have a martial arts background, and if he has the support of Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains Uprising, it must be much more convenient, otherwise he will not be able to compete with Mingjiao.

But the relationship between the two sides. It's more because of the alliance of interests, and the growing divergence between the two sides.

At the beginning of the union, the two sides were like fish in water. The power of Shaolin Temple and Zhengdao swelled unprecedentedly, and Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army also developed vigorously, even if Mingjiao had the advantage of revolting first, it had to give up half of the territory of the Central Plains in the end.

After two points in the Central Plains. Righteousness and Mingjiao began to diverge on their strategies for the future. Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang set their sights on the north at that time, hoping to march into Hebei, capture Dadu, and completely expel the Yuan soldiers.

Originally, Mingjiao also planned to do so, but Cangfei's sudden outburst made Mingjiao have another thought.

At that time, Cangfei annexed the territory of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and captured Jiangxi, which were the original places of the Ming Sect. This became a mortal enemy with Mingjiao.

The leader of the Ming army in the Central Plains can't say it, if Yin Tianzheng has a general relationship with him. Monk Peng is his iron buddy, five scattered people and one pants, after being killed by Cang Fei, he no longer has a good impression of Cang Fei.

But Cang Fei has grown, and it is not easy to deal with Cang Fei, he can't be a monk, but he also knows how to play conspiracy.

On the one hand, he united the two buddies of Tieguandao and Zhou Dian, and on the other hand, he contacted Yin Tianzheng's father and son, who were defeated by Cangfei, and took the line of Dai Qisi and Han Qianye.

The Quartet joined forces to deal with Cang Fei, this is a good ideal, if it is realized, it will definitely cause trouble for Cang Fei, and maybe even avenge Monk Peng.

However, in the face of the murderous Cang Fei, I can't say that I don't think this is enough insurance, so I also sent an invitation to Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang, if I get their help, no matter how powerful Cang Fei is, he can't turn the sky upside down.

But Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree, but invited the Yuan soldiers who said that they could not go to the Northern Expedition, and a large number of national righteousness was pressed down when they spoke, saying that they should put aside their personal grievances and expel the Yuan soldiers first.

It's one thing to say that of course it's not right, but thinking that the power on my side is not enough, and if there is the help of the righteous path, the chances of winning will be greater, so I actively negotiated with the righteous path, and finally got a compromise plan.

Zhengdao promised to form an alliance with Mingjiao to deal with Cangfei in the future, but before that, he had to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and expel the Mongols from Guanwai.

Therefore, on the one hand, they convened all forces, held a meeting of the Alliance of Good and Evil in Wudang Mountain, and on the other hand, they summoned troops to the north to attack Hebei and fight with the Yuan soldiers.

Their plan was ideal, Yuan Bing was the primary enemy, and after destroying him, it would be advantageous for both sides to deal with the potential threat of Cangfei.

It's just that they didn't expect Cang Fei to be so perverted and perverted, when they attacked Hebei, Cang Fei made wind and rain in Jingxiang, killed Yang Xiao, humiliated the Emei faction, not to mention, the entire Jingxiang was captured by him, the Tieguandao people died tragically, and the Wudang faction was destroyed, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and Unspeakably extremely shocked.

At that time, he wanted to return to the Central Plains, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused, and Shaolin Temple also stood on Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

Cang Fei has always been against Mingjiao, Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in their eyes, and while comforting and saying nothing, they covered their mouths and snickered, the weaker the Mingjiao forces, the more obvious the advantages of the righteous path in the Central Plains.

As for the Wu-Tang Clan? What the hell is that?

Don't say that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care, even the Shaolin faction just sneered.

The Wudang faction was founded by the Shaolin traitor Zhang Sanfeng, and the Shaolin faction has long seen that the Wudang faction is not pleasing to the eye, and now that the Wudang faction has fallen, it should be regarded as Cangfei to exterminate the rebellion for the Shaolin Temple.

Unlike Mingjiao, which cares about each other, the six major sects of the Righteous Path are vigilant and do not trust each other.

Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang were reluctant to return to the Central Plains, saying that they had to endure it for the sake of the overall situation against the Yuan, but this put Zhou Dian in Huaibei in danger.

The death of Zhou Dian and the collapse of the beggar gang further eroded the situation.

I couldn't help it anymore, and despite Zhu Yuanzhang's opposition, I led the Ming army south to avenge the three buddies of Monk Peng, Tieguandao and Zhou Dian.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to return to the Central Plains at that time, once he returned to the Central Plains. The Yuan soldiers will definitely fight back, and Hebei may return to the hands of the Yuan soldiers.

The forces in the Central Plains are staggered, and he and the Shaolin Temple only occupy half of the territory. is also facing the attack of the Qin soldiers, if he is defeated and the land of Hebei is taken back by the Yuan soldiers, then he Zhu Yuanzhang will not have a place to stand?

Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero, but he doesn't want to fight uncertain accounts, and now most of them are in danger, how can he miss the opportunity.

But I have to be willing to stay in Hebei. Even the Shaolin faction eventually returned to the Central Plains.

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang can survive in Hebei, but Shaolin Temple is in the Central Plains. If the Central Plains is captured by Cangfei, the Shaolin Temple will be destroyed in Cangfei's hands.

Therefore, there were major differences between the Shaolin faction and Zhu Yuanzhang.

One is going to return to the Central Plains. One is to continue the attack on Dadu.

The Shaolin faction ignored Zhu Yuanzhang. After persuasion failed, he took people away.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma on both sides at that time, saying that he had to leave with the Mingjiao army, after the power of the coalition army weakened, and the Shaolin faction also led people away, there were not a few martial arts masters left in his army, and he no longer had an advantage over the Yuan soldiers.

At this time, fighting with the main force of the Yuan soldiers in Dadu, who will destroy who still doesn't know?

After some thought. Zhu Yuanzhang could only retreat, and when he returned to the Central Plains. Most of the land of Hebei was really recovered by the Yuan soldiers, and it was annoying to think about it.

The object of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da's complaints just now is not only that they can't wait for the people in the Ming Sect, but also the "short-sighted" bald donkeys of Shaolin Temple.

Deng Yu said: "The matter has come to this, what are these things going to do? The masters of Shaolin Temple are just thinking about our foundation." ”

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da with a reminder in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da stopped making a sound, although they complained just now, they also understood that the situation was stronger than people, Hebei is now back in the hands of the Yuan soldiers, they were forced to return to the Central Plains, this is their foundation, once lost, there will be no place to stand, even if they are dissatisfied with Mingjiao and Shaolin, now they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gang of Hua Yun, Wu Liang and Wu Zhen brothers have not spoken, but they all have a trace of anger in their eyes, and they obviously understand the ins and outs of the matter, but they have not said much because of the current situation.

The Budai monk said that he couldn't wait for the Mingjiao sect, and quietly watched the disputes of the people in the righteous path, without interjecting, this was a problem between the righteous paths, and they didn't want to care.

Now that the situation has become like this, they are not worried about Zhu Yuanzhang and their lack of cooperation, Zhu Yuanzhang has no way to retreat, and the situation is worse than that of Mingjiao.

Even if Mingjiao fails, there are other places to go, but if Zhu Yuanzhang loses the Central Plains, they will become rootless wanderers, so at this time, it is Zhu Yuanzhang and these people who should be worried, not Mingjiao.

Of course, the most worrying thing is the Shaolin Temple, Zhu Yuanzhang can still escape if he is defeated, but the Shaolin Temple is defeated, can he run the monk and the temple?

Shaolin Temple has been inherited for hundreds of years, and whether it can be preserved is open.

I can't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang and the people of Shaolin Temple to finish discussing, and then he said: "It seems that everyone has no objection to joining forces against the Qin soldiers." Our Ming army will be led by Han Shantong and Han brothers as commanders, and Liu Futong and Liu brothers as deputy commanders, and we will not interfere with you, but only hope that the two sides will cooperate sincerely at that time. ”

Han Shantong and Liu Futong both nodded, and the rest of the Mingjiao had no objections.

Don't look at the Central Plains region, Budai Monk can't say that he is the leader of the Ming Sect, but even if he is a Wusan person, he is in a high position in the Ming Sect, but the affairs in the army are mostly handled by Han Shantong and Liu Futong, and in terms of martial arts, he is the highest among the Ming Sect members in the field, but in terms of military strategy, it is another matter.

On the other hand, the same is true of the righteous path, the three monks of Kongwen, Kongzhi and Kongxu, although their martial arts are outstanding, but in military comparisons with Zhu Yuanzhang, they are not as good as them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the commander of the righteous army, while Xu Da was the auxiliary, and the generals were holding a fire and mustering up enthusiasm to prepare for a duel with the Qin soldiers.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and others were no different from the dogs who were driven into the poor alleys, losing the Central Plains was equivalent to losing the foundation, and there was no way to live in the future, only by working hard with the Qin soldiers could they fight for that glimmer of life.

......

At the same time that the two sides of Zhengdao and Mingjiao formed an alliance, Cang Fei, who had left the customs, was meeting two people.

A prisoner, a guest.

The former is Zhao Junyong, the military division of the Huaibei Ming Army, and the latter is Chen Youliang, the military division of the Beggar Gang Righteous Army.

Cang Fei sat on the top, looking at the two people below with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Zhao Jun was dressed in tattered clothes, and in the month that Cang Fei was imprisoned, he was imprisoned in the dungeon of Xuzhou City.

This former Ming army division, fled after the defeat, and was finally caught up by the pursuers, his soldiers either died or fled, and he himself was captured, because he was an old man of Cangfei, Zhang Meng did not dare to kill without permission, so he was locked up.

Chen Youliang sat on the guest seat, sipping fragrant tea, with an indifferent face.

The treatment of him and Zhao Junyong is different because Zhao Junyong was captured alive, while he took the initiative to surrender.

After his defeat in Shouchun City, he fled all the way to the north, and at the same time continued to gather the beggar gang rebels, with 100,000 people, which can be regarded as a good force.

But he didn't choose to take this person to continue to fight against the Qin soldiers, but turned around, announced that he would surrender to the Qin soldiers, and swept away the remnants of the nearby Ming army as a gift of worship, and even the reason why Zhao Junyong was captured also had his credit.

At that time, Zhao Junyong wanted to flee to the Central Plains, but it was Chen Youliang who intercepted his retreat, otherwise maybe Zhao Junyong could really escape.

Although Chen Youliang had been hostile to the Ming army before, he later surrendered to Cheng and took the initiative to surrender his name, so that the land of Huaibei fell into the hands of the Qin army smoothly, so that the Qin army reduced casualties.

After Cang Fei came out of the customs, he knew the news and immediately summoned these two people.

"Brother Zhao, how are you doing these days?" Cang Fei stared at Zhao Junyong, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

The relationship between him and Mingjiao is indescribable, although his character is becoming more and more cold, but his heart is not made of iron after all, and he still has some thoughts in his heart about people who used to drink and talk happily.

On the battlefield, in an iron-blooded atmosphere, he can be ruthless killers, but now that he sees the down-and-out Zhao Junyong, he will inevitably feel compassion.

"What else can I do, prisoner? But for your sake, no one has tortured me. Zhao Jun sighed.

In the past, among the high-level Ming army in Huaibei, his relationship with Cangfei was the best, and he even had the intention of surrendering to Cangfei, but he didn't expect to get to such a point in the end.

Cang Fei's eyes closed slightly, and when he opened them again, his gaze became sincere, and he said, "Brother Zhao, I won't talk nonsense with you, you are now in my hands, and there is no chance to escape." If you want to survive, there is only one way, devote yourself to my Qin country, you can choose now. ”

Zhao Jun was silent, this choice was simple, but it was difficult.

He is a member of the Ming Sect, and he is loyal to the Ming Sect, but what he is now facing is a choice related to his own life.

If you surrender, you will be infamous and despised, and if you don't surrender, you will die directly.

His expression was gloomy and uncertain, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and make a decision. (To be continued.) )
