"What a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain!" Song Qingshu had to admit that this was not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy. Even if you knew his intentions, you had no choice but to jump into the trap.
"Why don't you go to Yangzhou first, your reputation is known all over the world, if you are here, Yangzhou's morale will definitely be boosted, Xia Quan and the others might retreat in spite of the difficulties." Huang Shannu suggested.
Song Qingshu shook his head: "There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, if I repeat the old tricks from time to time in the future, I will be left with my nose pinched."
"But Xia Quan has a lot of soldiers and enough food, and Liu Yu as his backer, how can he get rid of it in a short while?" Huang Shinu didn't doubt Song Qingshu's ability, whether it was to destroy Qing Dynasty or Li Kexiu, he showed With his excellent military command ability, the Xia Quan he is facing now is definitely not his opponent.
But the key issue is time. The emperor is about to go to Wudang Mountain. After Song Qingshu destroys Xia Quan, the flowers will all wither.
"Xia Quan seems to be very powerful now, but in fact there are many internal crises, and it only needs one fuse to completely disintegrate," Song Qingshu said after a pause, "Let's go find Yang Miaozhen!"
"Not going to Yangzhou? What if..." Huang Shannu was a little worried.
Song Qingshu looked in the direction of Yangzhou, and said lightly: "I believe in Zhiruo's ability, she can definitely defend Yangzhou for me."
At this time, in Yangzhou city, a woman who is as elegant as a fairy is dispatching troops in an orderly manner, with a majestic demeanor in her icy and snowy posture, which shocked the soldiers in the room.
"Mistress, now we are outnumbered. We should stick to our defense and wait for the reinforcements from the Ninth Princess. When the time comes, the opponent's siege will naturally be broken." A general stepped forward and said.
The woman is naturally Zhou Zhiruo, and she is obviously very satisfied with the address of the other party's mistress: "Xia Quan's army is just a bunch of mobs, and now the various factions have just united, and they have not been fully absorbed. I am going to take advantage of this time to give them a foothold. As for Liu Zhen, he obviously did not dare to openly attack Yangzhou. Before he reacted, he would defeat Xia Quan. Otherwise, when the two sides encircle, although we can defend Yangzhou, other states and counties will easily be defeated by them. break."
Zhou Zhiruo has built up enough prestige since Zhou Zhiruo's rectification of Yangzhou during this period of time. Seeing that what she said was indeed reasonable, they no longer had any objections to her decision.
Although there are few soldiers in Yangzhou, they are all elites. Even if they attack a mere Xia Quan with few against many, they still have confidence.
Let's say that Song Qingshu and Huang Shannv went north all the way. Fortunately, Huang Shannv had inquired about the information beforehand and finally found Yang Miaozhen's team in a deep mountain.
It's a pity that Yang Miaozhen was not in the base camp, her subordinates were silent at first, but after learning of Song Qingshu's identity, her subordinates showed joy, and finally replied: "Si Niangzi has arrived at Moqi Mountain."
"Moqishan? What is she going there for?" Song Qingshu was puzzled, shouldn't Yang Miao really be thinking of revenge now, why did he go to Moqishan, which is out of reach
That subordinate sighed: "The head of the family was murdered, the Red Coat Army turned from its heyday into fragments, and then Xia Quan's dog thief took advantage of it, and now Si Niangzi has only thousands of remnants and defeated generals. In order not to be defeated by Xia Quan Annexation, in order to avenge the boss, he had no choice but to turn to Li Quan. This trip to Moqishan is to make an alliance with Li Quan and agree to the terms of that fellow..."
Seeing him gnashing his teeth, Song Qingshu asked doubtfully, "What conditions?"
"Of course I married him!" The subordinate said bitterly, "At the beginning when Li Quan came to unite with the head of the family, I knew he had no good intentions. Now that the head of the house is still alive, he is embracing soldiers to stand on his own, using this to blackmail the fourth lady. There are not many women in the Red Coat Army, and she is the only one with a beautiful face like Yang Miaozhen, so the whole army regards her as a goddess, and now I know that she has no choice but to commit herself to another man , How can these people be filled with righteous indignation.
The woman in the yellow shirt was furious: "What is Li Quan? He is not qualified to be favored by Sister Yang!"
Song Qingshu felt that Li Quan's timing was quite good at this time, taking advantage of Yang Miaozhen's desire for revenge, and at the same time coercing her when she was weakest. If there were no other changes, this time, he would probably return the beauty this time. After marrying her, To be able to take over the former influence of the Yang brothers and sisters logically is really killing two birds with one stone.
But admiration is one thing, disagreement is another. Thinking of the past few fights with Yang Miaozhen, he is unwilling to see the other party end up like this, not to mention the relationship with Tianbo Yang's residence.
"Let's go to Moqi Mountain, we must stop her from doing stupid things!" Huang Shinu was raised in Tianbo Yang's house since she was a child, and she has a deep affection for the Yang family. Naturally, she doesn't want to see Yang Miaozhen compromise and marry a man she doesn't love.
"Would you be able to stop her by going to Moqi Mountain? The fourth lady is powerful in the world and has her own thoughts and decisions. Since she made such a decision, she must have made a comprehensive consideration. She wants to rely on Li Quan's influence Come to revenge, you stopped her, can you avenge her? Xia Quan has tens of thousands of troops under his command, how can you avenge her." Song Qingshu said lightly.
The martial arts of the girl in the yellow shirt is very high in the Jianghu, but the martial arts masters are not very effective on the battlefield. There are enemies in all directions, and the skills of maneuvering and dodging that she has learned in her life are meaningless. She is not as good as a group of ordinary soldiers who have undergone strict training Cooperate with each other to cover more powerful. Of course, martial arts masters are not useless at all, they can be used as special forces, and their martial arts are truly at the top level, and it is not impossible to win the head of a general among thousands of troops.
The girl in yellow also understands this truth, but she still can't accept it: "But we can't just watch her jump into the fire pit."
"I didn't say we won't save her, but we're not going to Moqishan, but to Yidu." Song Qingshu said while beckoning the girl in yellow to go on the road.
"What are you going to do in Yidu?" the woman in yellow shirt asked puzzled.
"Look for Zhang Lin, drive~" Song Qingshu replied casually, and rode his horse towards the northeast.
The girl in yellow was full of doubts, and hurriedly chased after her: "Who is Zhang Lin?"
"A general under Li Quan's command." Song Qingshu replied.
"What are you looking for him for?"
"We'll know when we arrive."
The two drove all the way, and after an hour of driving, Song Qingshu suddenly stopped: "No, this is too slow." At this speed, Yang Miaozhen and Li Quan would have cooked rice in Moqi Mountain, and everything would still be there. has no meaning.
"This is already the fastest speed." Seeing the panting horse sitting down, the woman in yellow couldn't help feeling a little pity.
"Next, I'll go directly to Yidu with Qinggong, and you will go north from here to Mount Moqi. Don't say too much, and don't stop them from getting married, but you must slow down the whole process and keep Li Quan's energy there. "Song Qingshu said that his speed of lightness kungfu has surpassed that of horses, and horses have to go roundabout along the road, but with lightness kung fu, they can go as straight as possible, so the speed is naturally much faster.
The reason why I still ride horses most of the time is that it is too tiring to travel lightly, and the second is the problem of endurance. You must know that riding a horse can bring a few more horses to transfer, and restore the strength of the previous horse, but people can’t, unless you The internal force is endless, and the recovery must always be greater than the internal force consumed when you run, otherwise you are doomed to be unable to travel long distances with light work. This is also the reason why many martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes can sprint tens of miles quickly, but when traveling for hundreds of miles, they all choose to ride horses or take boats.
Just like Qiao Feng mistakenly thought Xiao Yuanshan was a big villain back then, he chased him madly all the way and stopped within thirty miles, conveniently and tacitly stopped; as for Zhou Botong chasing Qiu Qianren for tens of thousands of miles from Jiangnan to the Western Regions, he was not rushing at speed Instead, they sprinted for a certain distance, and the two sides tacitly stopped to rest, eat and drink, and then went on their way. Therefore, although they traveled thousands of miles, it took a long time.
It's just that now that Song Qingshu's martial arts is great, his internal energy is endless, and he is good at lightness kungfu, as long as he doesn't perform martial arts that consume a lot of internal energy, he can keep on going in theory, but human energy is limited after all. After all, you will be tired, but you have been much longer than other top players in rushing.
Although the woman in the yellow shirt prides herself on her lightness skills, there is still a big gap compared to the man in front of her. She knows that if she insists on traveling with him, she will only become a burden, so she can't let him fly with her all the time, can she
Thinking of that scene, the yellow-shirted woman couldn't help but blushed, wondering what she was thinking.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Qingshu couldn't help asking seeing that the woman in yellow was silent and had a strange expression on her face.
"No...it's nothing," Huang Shirt's heart skipped a beat, and she said hastily, "Okay, I'll wait for you at Moqi Mountain."
Song Qingshu was stunned, looking at her back, wondering why there was a feeling of running away, but now that time was running out, he also started to hurry with his lightness kung fu.
All the way was fast and fast, and finally arrived at Yidu at dawn the next day.
As a general under Li Quan's command, Zhang Lin controls nearly 3,000 people. However, he is from the Green Forest after all. The defense of his residence is not as good as that of the palace. Even the guards of many gangs in the Jianghu are much stricter than his side. many.
With Song Qingshu's martial arts skills, he groped into his bedroom without wasting much effort. After all, Zhang Lin was living the days of licking blood on the knife head, and there was a warning sign in his sleep, so he hurriedly opened his eyes: "Who?"
"Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions." Song Qingshu poured a cup of tea on his table to drink, and he was exhausted from the journey.
Zhang Lin subconsciously wanted to grab the knife beside his pillow, Song Qingshu flicked his fingers casually while drinking tea, and the knife in his hand flew to the wall.
Seeing the waist knife stuck in the wall with half of his body still trembling, Zhang Lin swallowed subconsciously, if the bullet from the opponent hit him just now...
"I don't know your honor and name." Zhang Lin didn't call out for help, he knew that with the opponent's martial arts, it would be easy to take his life.
Song Qingshu drank a few cups of tea and felt refreshed all over. This time he told his story.
"It turns out that King Qi came here. Disrespect, disrespect!" Zhang Lin thought to himself, no wonder he is so young and has such high martial arts, "I don't know what the purpose of King Qi's visit this time is?"
"It's nothing serious. I just want you to join the group and join the Golden Snake Camp. I don't know what General Zhang wants." Song Qingshu asked leisurely.
Zhang Lin was speechless for a while, thinking that this is not a big deal? He hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the King of Qi, I have won the great attention of General Li Quan and Li, so it is really difficult to make a move to switch to others."
"Reuse?" Song Qingshu glanced at him with a half-smile, "A few months ago, Li Quan's elder brother Li Fu relied on his brother's power to ask you to take down several salt farms. If you don't give it to him, he will get angry and say that sooner or later I want to teach you a lesson, right?"
Zhang Lin's face changed, and then he fell silent.
Song Qingshu continued: "Zhang Fu has no skills, he just relies on his brother's protection, greedy for money is very vulgar, ordering passing merchants to use Li's cars and boats, and paying half of the tax at the same time, and sending troops to disguise themselves from time to time. Going to plunder the caravan makes merchants from all over the world prefer to take a detour from the territory of the Kingdom of Jin or the territory of the Golden Snake Camp. He has no merchants to rob, and he has taken a fancy to the few salt mines in your hands, even if you ask him to take salt. If you are not satisfied, you must own the ownership of those mines, am I right?"
Zhang Lin smiled bitterly: "King Qi's intelligence network is really powerful, and he knows all these things clearly."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. It is naturally impossible for him to rush in without thinking when he went north this time. He mobilized various intelligence networks along the way, and he has already got a clear picture of the internal situation of all parties: "You are one of the most powerful under Li Quan's command. General, Zhang Fu actually dares to bully you, he is so courageous? Could it be that there is no Li Quan's instruction?"
Zhang Lin's face really changed now. At first he was just scolding Li Fu for being vulgar, but he didn't expect this level. Now that Song Qingshu reminded him, he suddenly realized that this might be... no, it must be Li Quan who is slowly seizing it. his right.
You must know that he is not a direct descendant of Li Quan. He was a local military officer in the Kingdom of Jin at the beginning. When rebels broke out everywhere, he took advantage of the opportunity to revolt and pulled up a team to join Li Quan. Because he is not a direct descendant, the two sides have always been at odds In a state of disagreement, this time I went to Moqi Mountain to meet Yang Miaozhen, and I didn't even take him with me.
Seeing his expression, Song Qingshu continued: "You and Li Fu have a bad relationship, and Li Quan regards you as a thorn in his side. If you continue to stay in his hands, what do you think will happen to you?"
Zhang Lin was dripping with cold sweat, and suddenly bowed down to the ground: "This subordinate is willing to take refuge in the Golden Snake Camp, and I hope King Qi will accept it!"
Song Qingshu was taken aback, he didn't expect to persuade him so easily, unexpectedly it would take a lot of effort. But after thinking about it, it seems that in history, this guy was also forced by Brother Li Quan, and had no choice but to seek refuge in Mongolia. Now that he personally invites him, it is a wise move for him to seek refuge in himself.
"Okay, after joining the Golden Snake Camp, you will keep your salt mines for yourself, and I won't play with them. Your future stage will be very big, and you won't be limited to one-third of an acre of land like you are now." Song Qingshu will He got up, and there was still a gesture that should be done.
"The lord is really not an ordinary person!" Zhang Lin was overjoyed. He was worried that the other party would also covet the salt mine like Zhang Fu. You must know that there is no difference between the salt mine and the gold mine in this era. It is worthy of being a figure who contends for world hegemony.
"I don't know what my subordinates can do for the lord." Zhang Lin asked hastily, changing his family, he was eager to show his value.
"Now that Li Quan has brought the main force to Moqi Mountain, you take this opportunity to lead the troops straight to his base camp, and at the same time control the families of his soldiers." Song Qingshu came here this time for this purpose.
Zhang Lin was a little hesitant: "But Li Quan has more than 10,000 people in his hands. If he calls back, people like me are not opponents."
Song Qingshu said lightly: "With me here, he can't come back."
