Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 119
"Hey, don't get your hopes up too much..."

"What's the matter? Don't tell you that this time I came here just to watch the excitement. Do you know? If I had tried harder, the Jagged Changhemen would have settled in Bashu. It was not because of you that I sent Jagged Changhemen handed it over. Well, now that you are holding the big treasure pot of Jagged Changhemen, your waist is stiff, and you look down on me, Lao Jiang, and are unwilling to help, right?"

"You pretend I don't know, it's the emperor's will to let the Iron Blood Changhe Gate settle in Jinghu, and it has nothing to do with you! If you are really capable, I will let you talk to Master Yemen right now. If she agrees to return to Bashu , I won't stop it at all."

"It's just a joke, why should you take it seriously. Tell me the truth, how many people did you bring this time?"

Bian Jinlin slowly stretched out three fingers.

"Only 300 people!" Jiang Shijia's eyes widened.

"This is the benefit of the Iron-Blooded Changhemen being settled in Jinghu!" Bian Jinlin said with a wry smile, "Who asked the chief inspector to give me an order in Jinghu to assist you in fighting in Bashu? Participation in the battle is entirely voluntary. In fact, it's rare to have recuperated for many years." When encountering such a big war, with the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service, martial arts people should have actively participated in it.

But Master Qingsong of the Wudang faction has an opinion on this!He believed that the imperial court allowed the Jagged Changhemen to settle in Jinghu without discussing with him. He also believed that this time Jinghu martial arts assisted the Bashu martial arts, which meant letting the Jagged Changhemen take the lead. After the Daoist made a big fuss in the patrol division, he didn't send a single disciple of his sect to join the battle.

If the Wudang faction does not come, others such as the Junshan Society, Thunder Martial Hall, and the Shennong Gang will not dare to come. Those who come are small sects such as Dengjiapu and Sanxiang Escorts and wandering Jianghu people. They either admire the iron and blood. The glorious deeds of the sect, or the enmity with the Wudang faction..."

"Although we Daoist Dugu in Bashu are not easy to get along with, we have always been respectful to the court, and we can't compare with Daoist Qingsong at all." Jiang Shijia said in a very low voice: "I have heard that Daoist Qingsong is tyrannical, but I didn't expect to be here. How dare you act so recklessly in front of such a major event, it is simply unreasonable! The Wudang faction is the only one in Jinghu, and you, old Bian, must have suffered a lot in the past few years."

"Alas..." Bian Jinlin sighed softly.

"However, now that the Jagged Changhe Gate has gone to Jinghu, the Wudang faction will no longer be as arrogant as before. This is probably what the court intended." Jiang Shijia comforted.

"In the past few days, I feel that Yemen Master Ye and Fan Yanghou of the Iron-Blooded Changhe Gate are quite talkative, but—" Bian Jinlin smiled wryly again: "There are so many founding fathers with high titles in the Iron-Blooded Changhe Gate, If Lord Yemen also inherits the title of Lord Protector, how will the Patrol Division govern him in the future?"

Jiang Shijia gloated and laughed, "Old Bian, old Bian, as the saying goes, if you gain something, you lose it. If you want to take advantage of everything, it must be impossible."

..............................................................................

The big tent of the Chinese army that Ye Bosong mentioned was actually the lobby of the Rongzhou General’s Mansion in the center of the barracks.

The people gathered in the lobby at this time are: Li Bosong, the new General of Rongzhou, Lin Yanze, the prefect of Rongzhou, Jiang Shijia, the commander of the Chengdu Military Inspection Division, Bian Jinlin, the commander of the Jinghu Military Inspection Division, Ye Ziqiong, the head of the Iron Blood Changhe Gate, Fan Yanghou Ye San, the elder of the Iron Blood Changhe Gate , Dugu Changhui, the national protector of the Qingcheng School, and Tang Yunxian, who worked in Jimi Prefecture in Southwest China.

After everyone arrived, Li Bosong, who was sitting in the main hall, said, "Everyone, the Qiang people have rebelled for more than a month, and Jimi Prefecture in the southwest has completely fallen. The imperial court requires us to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and restore peace in Bashu. Here, mainly to discuss good strategies to defeat the enemy, let me first introduce the current situation of the enemy and us.”

Li Bosong didn't say any polite words, and went straight to the point, and everyone became more energetic.

As soon as he beckoned, ten soldiers laboriously carried a large wooden box into the lobby and placed it in the center.

Everyone took a closer look: inside the box were rolling mountains made of sand, blue rivers painted with paint, towns and villages piled up with wooden blocks... It turned out to be a huge sand table map.

Li Bosong walked up to the map and said in a loud voice: "This is the topographic map of Rongzhou and Jimi Prefecture in the southwest. Its model comes from the previous dynasty. The late emperor summoned skilled craftsmen to survey the terrain many times, and it took several years to make it again. , very realistic, with few fallacies, fully able to guide us in combat."

Speaking of this, he pointed with his right hand to a blue river that passed through Chengdu and flowed southward in the Bashu Plain: "This is the Shujiang River (now the Minjiang River)."

He pointed to another blue river that trudges through the mountains from west to east: "This is the Mahu River (now the Jinsha River)."

Then press the square mark on the north bank where the two rivers meet: "This is Rongzhou City (now Yibin), and we are here now—"

Li Bosong pointed to the end of the Shu River, six miles west of Rongzhou City: "Rongzhou Military Camp."

Li Bosong looked at the crowd: "To this day, about 5 reinforcements from all over Bashu have gathered in the barracks, and there are 4000 garrison troops in Rongzhou City, as well as the martial arts army formed by the Chengdu Military Patrol Division and the Jinghu Military Patrol Division. 800 people."

Li Bosong looked at Ye Ziqiong and Ye San, and said emphatically, "I would like to express my gratitude to Iron Blood Changhe Gate. They have sent people to sneak into the south of the river many times to investigate the enemy's situation and thoroughly understand the situation of the rebels."

Ye Ziqiong and Ye San looked at each other, not complacent, after all, investigating the enemy's situation is a trivial matter for Iron Blood Changhemen.

It was Dugu Changhui who compared the truth: "Is the enemy's situation detected by the Iron Blood Changhe Gate accurate?"

Ye Ziqiong replied softly: "The person in charge of investigating the enemy's situation is Elder Zhou Qiao from my iron-blooded Changhemen."

"Since I joined the army, I have often heard that Anxibo (referring to Zhou Qiao)'s ability to detect the enemy's situation is unparalleled in the world. He has made great military exploits for the founding of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and has been commended by the late emperor many times." Li Bosong immediately added. Chang Hui was speechless.

You must know that Zhou Qiao, the flying God Grasshopper, the nickname Fei Tian refers to her good lightness kung fu, and the God Grasshopper does not refer to her hobby of eating fried grasshoppers, but that grasshoppers are hard to see when they fall into the grass. To describe Zhou Qiao's miraculous disguise kung fu, even if Miao Wuhen on the opposite side of the river took precautions, there is probably nothing he can do about her, otherwise he would not have been lurking in Iron Sword Villa for a year for a long time without noticing.

Dugu Changhui coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.

However, Li Bosong continued indifferently: "According to the information sent back by An Xibo, the rebel leader Miao Wuhen led about 15 strong Qiang people to garrison Le Qiang City."

Li Bosong pointed at the south bank of the great river facing Rongzhou City. From the map, the terrain there is flatter and wider. It seems that Rongzhou City should be built there, but it is not far from the Qiang people's gathering area. It is there that the Qiang people suffered first when they rebelled, and the Han army always attacked there first when they quelled the rebellion, so the south bank was left deserted until the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the relationship with the Qiang people was harmonious. With the frequent exchanges and the prosperity of trade, the exchange market finally developed into a city, which was named "Le Qiang City" by the first emperor himself, and now it has fallen into the hands of the rebels.

"In addition, there are 5000 rebels stationed here." Li Bosong moved his hand to the delta at the confluence of the Shu River and the Mahu River. There is a small town here - Liangjiang Town, which is also the gateway to the southwest of Rongzhou City. The must pass of the prison.

Because after the confluence of the two rivers, the width of the river is close to 400 meters, and it can only be ferryed by boats, while the width of the end of the Shu River and the Mahu River is not more than 200 meters, and the narrowest point is even just over 100 meters, so floating bridges were erected. , Bashu merchants can reach Leqiang City by land for trade without boats.

However, after the Qiang Rebellion, the rebels invaded the Rongzhou area through pontoon bridges, and later retreated to the south bank of the Dajiang River, and burned the pontoon bridge at the end of the Shu River.

"In addition, there are 4000 rebels stationed in Laifu City." Li Bosong's hand moved south along Leqiang City, and stopped along the southernmost point of this small plain on the east bank of the Mahu River.

Laifu City and its surrounding area used to be the largest inhabited area of ​​the Qiang people in the previous dynasty. Miao Wuhen's father's tribe once lived here. To the south of it is the entrance of the famous Thorn Road.After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Qiang people were attached to them, and Jimi Prefecture was established. The Qiang people were able to safely pass through the thorny road and flow into the plains along the river to support more people. The idea of ​​placing Xuanweisi's administrative office here is that in case the Qiang people make a disturbance, as long as Laifu City can hold the entrance of the Thorny Road for a period of time, the Qiang people from the north and the south cannot join, and the reinforcements can quickly calm down when they arrive.It is precisely because the city's strategic location is so important that the former Rongzhou general rushed to rescue it after learning that it was besieged.

"The general situation is like this." Li Bosong looked around at the crowd: "Do you have any suggestions for this?"

Lin Yanze, the prefect of Rongzhou, spoke first: "Judging from what the general said, our troops are superior. I think it's time to launch an attack on the rebels!"

Although the Qiang rebellion had nothing to do with Lin Yanze, and he held on to the city of Rongzhou. Not only was he irresponsible, but he made a contribution, the Rongzhou area suffered great damage and urgently needed to be revived. He has to assist the army and take on part of the logistics tasks, so as a parent officer, he looks forward to the early end of the war.

"Our current military strength is larger than that of the rebels, but most of them are garrison troops, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. Only the soldiers from the Padang area are considered elite, but the number is only 5000. The Qiang people have always been fierce and sturdy. Our army I'm afraid it won't gain much advantage if we fight against them head-on." Deputy General Ning Mingkuo said with some worry.

He used to be the captain of the former Rongzhou general. When the former Rongzhou general sent troops to rescue the city, he was asked to stay in the barracks.And when the main force was defeated, he not only held on to the barracks, but also saved many routs, so that the losses of the Rongzhou army would not be too serious. Therefore, the former Rongzhou general was questioned, and he was promoted to lieutenant general instead.After Li Bosong took office, in view of his familiarity with the military situation and the people's situation here, he only gave him a heavy responsibility.

"So we have to wait for more reinforcements to arrive before we can attack?" Lin Yanze's face was a bit grim.

"I don't know how many quacks are there in the rebel army?" Jiang Shijia interjected.

"According to the information obtained, there will not be more than 200 people." Ye San replied: "There should be less than 60 people with decent martial arts."

"What does it mean to be decent in martial arts?" Dugu Changhui asked.

Dugu Changhui's tone was a bit aggressive, but Ye San didn't feel annoyed. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is what Zhou Qiao said, and she made a judgment based on her own eyesight, uh... I heard Tang Fangzhuo said that he I once had a fight with a few disciples of the Qingcheng faction, and this 'martial arts is not bad' is probably equivalent to the force of those disciples of the Qingcheng faction."

When Dugu Changhui heard it, she felt angry: Although Guo Youxin is young, he is also a leader among the younger generation of Bashu martial arts, and you say that his martial arts are passable. Are you humiliating me in person? !

Of course Jiang Shijia knew about the conflict between Tang Fangzhuo and Guo Youxin. Seeing Dugu Changhui's face turned ugly, he quickly answered, "Guo Youxin and Song Youcheng are young heroes of Bashu martial arts. The traitor Miao Wuhen actually secretly cultivated such a Dozens of people with martial arts level are really surprising.

However, there are as many as 800 Bashu and Jinghu martial arts heroes gathered in the barracks this time. Among them, there are hundreds of martial arts masters rated as Class A. There are also Fan Yanghou, Dugu Zhenren, heads of various factions and elders. A Miao Wuhen can be called a master, completely unable to match us.If the two armies fight, we should have a great chance of winning! "

"That's right, the martial arts heroes mobilized by our Military Patrol Division have received multiple military trainings. They can obey orders and know how to cooperate with ordinary soldiers." Bian Jinlin emphasized.

"Since our army has the upper hand, we should seize the time to launch an attack on the rebels. The imperial court is eagerly looking forward to the good news." Rongzhou prefect said.

"Master Lin." Li Bosong felt a little displeased with the two urgings of the prefect of Rongzhou who overstepped his command and acted on his behalf: "We must carefully consider and formulate a comprehensive plan when we send troops to fight, and if we fail again because of rashly sending troops, who will bear the responsibility? burden?!"

The prefect of Rongzhou was so angry that his beard trembled from Li Bosong's merciless reprimand, and was about to refute, when someone beside him interrupted: "General Li, there are a few important things that I want to report to you."

Li Bosong saw that the person who spoke was Tang Yunxian who worked in the Xuanwei Department of the Southwest Jiyi Prefecture. He was on vacation in Rongzhou when the Qiang people rebelled, so he escaped, so he said: "Please tell me."

"April is the rainy season in Bashu. Every year at this time, both the Shujiang River and the Mahu River will flood. It is said that one year the entire delta will be submerged, and there is a vast ocean everywhere. Ships dare not sail on the river. , The flood will stop and the river will narrow after mid-May, and now the flood season is probably less than 5 days away." Tang Yunxian reminded loudly.
