Chapter 593: The undercurrent surging

Regarding Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia’s reaction, these ministers were of course in their eyes, but they did not feel any discomfort. As a general, they didn’t plan to get any good looks, and even nodded and bowed to Zhao Yun. "Yes! The villain obeys! The villain obeys!" After speaking, the general took a few steps backwards and respectfully saluted Zhao Yun, preparing to leave.

"General Zhao." At this moment, another shout sounded, but two generals were rushing towards this side. It was Ding Jin, the second leader of the Shenyong Army who defeated the Qi State Army's defense line on the Western Front. And Wang Zaixing.

Speaking of these two generals, they directly came to support after breaking through the Qi army's defense line that day. This is why Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia were able to reach Bianliang in Tokyo so quickly.

But Ding Jin and Wang Zaixing were running wildly at the moment. Ding Jin and Wang Zaixing each carried a bloody head in their hands. Ding Jin rode a horse and shouted at Zhao Yun: "General Zhao! General Zhao! We just beheaded Li. Qiong and Du Chong, this is the head of Li Qiong and Du Chong."

Zhao Yun immediately laughed when he heard it. No wonder they hadn't seen the two of them before, but it turned out that they ran to kill Li Qiong and Du Chong. That's good, the several generals and marshals under the account of Emperor Qi Liu Yu are now all together, and the realm of Qi's country is also settled. Immediately, Zhao Yun smiled at Ding Jin and Wang Zaixing: "Well done. Haha. You did a great job this time."

After Zhao Yun sent someone to extinguish the flames of the imperial palace, he went directly to the head of the city east. On the head of the city, Zhang Xiao was looking at the east as if thinking about something at the moment. Zhao Yun smiled and walked to his side, and said to him: "Master Zhang Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Zhao Yun coming, Zhang Xiao turned his head, but Zhao Yun found that his face was a little bit wrong, and he didn't seem to be happy because Kaifeng Bianliang City was breached. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. A soldier on the side said to Zhao Yun with a wry smile: "General Zhao! We are just discussing it, this time we won the Qi State Realm, it seems that the result is not as great as imagined.

From the captives, we learned that most of the troops in the Qi state had been transferred to Caozhou by Hu Zhuge, and we got news that Hu Zhuge had retreated south from Caozhou to the vicinity of Huainan and Jiangnan. Now even if we have won the Qi state, I am afraid it is just a shell. "

"Yeah." Zhao Yun naturally knew about this. Even if he nodded, he said with a serious face: "It seems that our Qi country cannot be completely won. Only by blocking the future counterattack of Hu Zhuge can we It can be regarded as the real completion of His Royal Highness's mission. Isn't it?"

Zhang Xiao also nodded, but although the faces of the three of them were a little dignified, none of them showed a scared expression. The three of them straightened their chests at the same time and looked to the north. No matter how many enemies came, this Qi country would have believed in the king's army from today.

In the spring of the third year of Shaoxing, the Great Song Dynasty, the situation in the Central Plains has undergone major changes. Sudden changes occurred in the Qi state. General Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia of Xin Wang Jun suddenly led their troops to appear in the Qi state. In a very short time, they cooperated with Xin Wang Jun Yue Fei’s army to conquer Kaifeng Bianliang, a generation of emperors. Liu Yu died in ****, and Qi, the most powerful state among all the princes, died in this way.

And everyone in the world thought that Hu Zhuge, the think tank of Qi, who led the army of nearly 60,000 Qi, would lead the army south to avenge Qi Emperor Liu Yu, but he did not expect an even more shocking news to come: Hu Zhuge actually took 60,000. The Qi army turned to Xia Cheng's account. Xia Cheng also seized Caozhou along the way and formally replaced Qi Emperor Liu Yu, becoming the most powerful prince. As for Na Chenzhou, it was taken down by Gao An, who had been oppressed by several princes before. Gao An also got a chance to breathe and began to slowly grow his strength.

However, neither Xia Cheng nor Gao'an had any plans to continue northward after seizing new territories. They all digested the territories they had just acquired on their own. After occupying the territory of Qi, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia also began to move south after handing over the site to officials sent by the commander-in-chief's mansion. At this time, the trend of encircling the princes by the army of letter kings has taken shape. Obviously, the army of letter kings in the south has become stronger.

And it seems that because of the strength of the King's Army, the princes who had been inextricably fought before, once again abandoned their previous suspicions and formed an alliance. Xia Cheng, Gao'an, and Liu Tong joined forces. Rao is how powerful the King's army is He didn't dare to do anything to the princes easily. In this way, the southern princes and the letter king Zhao Zhen once again formed a temporary peace, and spent a month in peace.

And the army of Marshal Yue Fei and Han Shizhong went north to Hebei, and the army under the command of Deputy Right Deputy Marshal Wang Jin and Left Deputy Marshal Zhao Bangjie fully pressed Jin Guo from east to west. Since neither side is ready for a full-scale war, there has been no war on the entire front for the time being. However, as long as they are prepared, wars may break out at any time between the two sides.

On this day, Wang Hong, who was squeezed out by the letter Wang Zhao Zhen, suddenly rebelled. The letter king Zhao Zhen led the army to leave Jiangling, and at the same time took away a large group of Jiangling warriors, and went to Huainan Road to suppress.

At the same time, Ji Qianqian, the think tank of the letter king Zhao Zhen, and Yao Da convened the southern officials to discuss the situation in the south. At this time, Yao Da suddenly informed everyone about the arrest of Qin Hui and Zhao Gou.

The matter began to involve your Majesty, and the atmosphere at the scene also began to become a little dignified. Everyone is a direct minister who believes in Wang Zhaozhen, and Yao Da is not afraid to let them know, and continues: "After we captured Qin Hui, Qin Hui was assassinated with a dark arrow, and the killer who killed Qin Hui committed suicide. At the same time, we simultaneously It was discovered that Qin Hui was carrying out the mission that His Majesty secretly asked him to perform. This mission was to contact the Kingdom of Jin and several princes in the south to defeat the King of Xinjun. After knowing that this matter is related to Your Majesty, Master Ji Qianqian and I agreed that this It is absolutely unreasonable to talk about it, so only His Royal Highness and us have always known about this. These days, we have been investigating and making unannounced visits, which can be regarded as finding out some eyebrows. Basically, we have been able to confirm the existence of a secret organization."

"The purpose of this organization is to calculate the trust of the king's thousand years and return the government to your majesty. Therefore, your majesty should also participate in it. However, we are now sending a large number of people to infiltrate the temporary palace in Jiangling to keep your majesty firmly in our hands. , Cut off the connection between your majesty and this organization. Therefore, the activities of this organization have nothing to do with your majesty."

"Unfortunately, since Qin Hui died, the members of this organization also guessed that we would investigate their whereabouts on a large scale, so they also began to disappear. We tried our best, but we couldn't find them." Yao Da shook his head and sighed. He took a sigh of relief and said, "Although they haven't taken any further action, the existence of this organization seems to be on the back, making us all feel sleepy and eating."

When Yao Da said this, Elder Wu next to him went on to say: "So, His Royal Highness came up with such an idea. He emptied all the troops in Jiangling City and took away all the generals to create an opportunity for the organization. , Lead them to take action. Right?" After all, Elder Wu is a wise man at the same level as Ji Qianqian and Yao Da, so he quickly guessed their strategy.

Seeing Yao Da and Ji Qianqian nodding their heads at the same time, Wu Liang was anxious and said hurriedly: "How can this work? You have emptied all the forces in Jiangling City. Then, when this mysterious organization takes action, what shall we take? Deal with this organization? Besides, since this organization is so concealed, there must be wise men in it. How can you let them be fooled if you lead the snake out of the hole so obviously?"

Regarding Wu Liang’s question, Ji Qianqian nodded and replied, “It’s not difficult to solve. This mysterious organization will never be willing to just lurking in this way. The bureau we set up this time is indeed obvious, but for them, Isn’t it a great opportunity? So, no matter whether it’s a trap or not, they will definitely take action. As for how we should deal with it then, ha ha. It’s up to us.”

Elder Wu suddenly said: "According to the previous words of Lord Ji and Lord Yao, the ultimate goal of this mysterious organization is to return politics to your Majesty. In this case, their goal should be in Your Majesty. I thought, The enemy will most likely find ways to get his Majesty out of Jiangling."

"Your Majesty Plunder?" The eyes of Ji Qianqian and others brightened. They had never thought about this before, because the guards of the temporary palace were too strict. It stands to reason that this palace should be the entire Jiangling. The safest place in the city.

Your Majesty is trapped in the palace, even if the mysterious organization has the greatest ability, it should not be able to snatch your Majesty out of the palace. But I don't know why, after hearing Elder Wu say this, everyone feels that this possibility is more and more great. Ji Qianqian's brow furrowed deeper and deeper. If the palace is no longer safe, wouldn't it be dangerous

On the outskirts of Jiangling City, twenty miles east of the city, it is a seemingly ordinary village. The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are only more than a hundred households in total. The village is usually peaceful, with only a few farmers working in the fields. , It's a good pastoral scenery.

And in a small courtyard to the east of the village, a man is looking up at the sky. This man is about 30 years old, tall, with a long beard, but wearing a coarse cloth. Looking at the sky above his head, after a long time, the man sighed for a long time, shook his head, as if he wanted to vomit out all the frustration in his chest.

"Why sigh?" An old voice came from the side room next to the yard. I don't know when, an old man appeared at the door of the side room, just looking at the old man's appearance, although he was at least 50 or 60 years old. But the bearing is extraordinary, the eyes of wisdom flashed in his eyes...

Seeing the old man walking out of the door, the man hurriedly stepped forward to the old man, gave a fist to the old man, and said, "My lord, why did you come out?"

"I'm about to do something, how can I sit in the room?" The old man narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man, but he asked with a faint smile: "I saw you just sigh, it seems something is upset?"

"Uh" the man hesitated again and again, and finally replied: "My lord, the final general, the final general just thought that things seemed to go too smoothly this time, so how can the believer Wang Zhaozhen be such an easy figure to be fooled? There are not a few wise men around, and I will always think that there is fraud in them."

After listening to the man’s words, the old man didn’t have any special reaction. He just looked at the man quite meaningfully, with appreciative eyes shining in his eyes, and smiled: “There is fraud? Naturally, there is fraud. It’s just a small Wang Hong rebellion. Can you believe that Wang Zhaozhen will go out in person? Not to mention, you have to bring all the generals such as Lin Yuhu and Hu Tianqing, and hand over Jiangling to Ji Qianqian and Elder Wu to manage. This kind of scam, even a three-year-old child will hide it. But how can I be fooled?"

When the old man said this, the man was also taken aback. He looked at the old man in astonishment, and asked: "My lord! If this is the case, then... why... why..."

"Why do I have to order to do it?" The old man took the man's words and looked at the man's shocked expression. The old man smiled again and said: "It is the so-called desperate situation. There is no absolute success in everything. Failure. The letter king Zhao Zhen wanted to use this opportunity to draw us out. Why can’t we seize this rare opportunity to rescue your majesty? As long as you can save your majesty and let your majesty rule, then we will be able to help the Song Dynasty and stay in history. In contrast, it’s worth taking a risk.”

"But," the man was still a little bit puzzled, and he asked quickly: "If all this is a trap laid by the letter Wang Zhaozhen, then our action this time is not in the arms of the letter Wang Zhaozhen, and he will definitely be trusted by then. Wang Zhaozhen's arrangement of Fujun was exhausted!"

"Catch it all in one net?" The smile on the old man's face suddenly turned into a cold laugh. He shook his head and said, "Do you think Xinwang Zhao Zhen really has this ability? This time Xinwang Zhao Zhen will come up with such a way to lure us into fools. There must be a premise, that believes Wang Zhaozhen must have miscalculated our strength.

In order to make us fooled, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen transferred most of the forces in Jiangling City, which is certainly not wrong. And the only thing left in Jiangling City is a small number of troops. The number of soldiers and horses they arranged in Gangneung City will never exceed five thousand. However, the believer Zhao Zhen and the others never thought that the army in our hands is now as high as 20,000. With 20,000 armies, it was easy to conquer a Jiangling city guarded by thousands of spies, not to mention, I have other arrangements to ensure that this operation is infallible. Lost"

The man naturally knows how many people there are on his side, but he does not know the "other arrangements" that the old man said at the end. But even so, the man still looks solemn, as if he is still not optimistic about the prospects of this action...

The old man stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, and said: "I originally intended to recommend you to an adult, but I never thought that the adult would lose so quickly. You are a general, but you follow us incognito, and I know it is. If you are wronged, you can endure it for a few days. When the incident arises, the day when you become famous in the world, everyone in the world will recognize you Niu Hongnai as the number one general in the world of Zhongxing Song Dynasty."

Hearing what the old man said, Niu Hong's eyes were still bewildered, and now they are shining brightly... After Niu Hong left Xu Musen that year, he ran into the old man in front of him on the road. This old man's wise eyes and talents can be regarded as a kindness to Niu Hong. This is also one of the reasons why Niu Hong has never left the old man.

Niu Hong is just a very pure military commander. Niu Hong doesn't care about whether he can revitalize the Song Dynasty. He just hopes to help the old man in front of him to repay the kindness he had received back then. However, in this age, as a warrior, how can you be unfamiliar? The name of the world's number one general is also a great temptation for Niu Hong. With this temptation ahead, Niu Hong also clenched his fists, forcibly throwing away those hesitations in his head, and shouted at the old man. : "My lord! At the end I will be willing to urge the adults."
