Beacon quenching beauty

"First break Chizhou, then go to Qingyang County, and then conquer Taiping Road..."

Green Winged Bat King Wei Yi smiled and shook the battle report in his hands, then looked at the strange looking Yang Xiao and continued, "Song Qing, the leader of the rebel army in Wuniuling, brought such a large area of ​​land and newly recruited troops to seek refuge with Xu Shouhui of Tianwan Kingdom. Under the strong recommendation of Marshal Chen Youliang, he was appointed General of the Peking University. Yang Zuoshi, what do you think about this news?"

Yang Xiao smiled wryly, "I didn't expect Mr. Song to lead troops to fight so well. This time, we really misjudged him. We ran out a talented person who can be of great use to Xu Shouhui."

Wei Yixiao said "Hey", "I've already seen that he has a good way of arranging troops."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Wei Yixiao said confidently, "How did I know you would suddenly send Xu Da to attack Xucheng County and drive them away!"

Yang Xiao sighed heavily, stood up and brushed off his white coarse robe, "I'll go and talk to the leader myself, and see if there is any other way to recover."

Wei Yixiao had a rare kindness, "I'll go with you, the master can persuade you even if he's angry."

Mingjiao’s posthouse in Haozhou was originally the largest wealthy gentry’s mansion in the local area. It has a deep courtyard with flying ridges and carved beams. at the place.

Zhang Wuji was not in his room, and after asking his attendants, he found out that the leader was sitting in Miss Zhao's room, lost in thought.

Wei Yi smiled and grinned, "Okay, new love and old love are gone, and I would be depressed."

But Yang Xiao said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you and I have misunderstood the leader and Mr. Song."

"Why, I heard it with my own ears."

"Since neither the leader nor he admits it, why should we have such narrow minds." Yang Xiao looked forward meaningfully and said, "There is a shortage of people in the army."

Wei Yixiao followed him to the next room, knowing in his heart that now is not the time to rely on martial arts to dominate the rivers and lakes. Although there are many masters in their teaching, but with advanced martial arts on the battlefield, at best they can be the vanguard and kill a few more people. How many enemy soldiers can be killed with only one person and two hands?The so-called thousand soldiers are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Naturally, many people who can fight in the army are much more important than having a happy person by the leader's side.

Zhang Wuji frowned after hearing Yang Xiao's report, sitting in the chair with a very gloomy breath.

Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao waited for a long time but didn't see him say anything, they looked at each other, thinking that they might be very angry this time.The person whom the leader spent so much effort to save has turned to Xu Shouhui in a blink of an eye. Although there are some misunderstandings in it, it is always uncomfortable to think about it.

Wei Yixiao whispered, "Master? Master?"

Zhang Wuji raised his head and let out a long breath, "The Great General Dingbei at the end of the day?! Brother Song, he can't trust me like that! Even if Xu Da went to attack Xucheng County, so what? Could it be that he couldn't imagine that there must be some secrets in it, so he couldn't Surrender to Xu Da first and then come to see me together, and I will explain clearly to him."

Yang Xiao said, "This strange subordinate didn't do his job properly and was negligent for a while."

Zhang Wuji said, "Yang Zuoshi, I don't blame you, I was in a hurry to chase after Minmei, and I didn't care about anything, I left everything behind. I was just thinking about him, he... Shaking his head, he didn't want to say more about his feelings, but said, "Mr. Song is with Xu Shouhui, so let's not worry about it for the time being, and just wait and see what happens."

Yang Xiao felt that it was a pity to let him go like this, and suggested, "I think it's no wonder Mr. Song misunderstood this matter. It's really a big mistake of ours. Why don't I send someone to find him in private , Send a letter for you, the leader, to explain the matter clearly, and it’s okay to let him stay in Xu Shouhui’s army. Instead, we can have more people in Xishui for internal response.”

Zhang Wuji was noncommittal, "Let's talk about it in a few days."

Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao saw that his expression was very bad, so it was inconvenient to say more, so they took their leave together.Wei Yixiao went to the door and turned around, only to see Zhang Wuji leaning into the chair with his forehead propped up with one hand, his elbows on the armrests of the chair, with a tired look on his face.

Blinking, I still think that my wise opinion just now is very reasonable: New love and old love are gone together, and it's everyone's turn to feel gloomy!

Zhang Wuji didn't know why he was so troubled. Zhao Min's departure was naturally one of the reasons. Qing didn't even think about contacting him at all. Instead, he was really like the two armies facing each other. He defended the city for a few days, and when he couldn't beat him, he led people back.

Now he went to mess with that treacherous Chen Youliang again!

I really can't trust him that much! !

How many days and nights he has accompanied and taken care of him wholeheartedly, even if Zhang Wuji is a good person, he treats everyone well, there is a difference, this is the one he treats best and cares most!There is no way to get back this trust.

In fact, even in the eyes of Yang Xiao and others, Song Qing's behavior this time is understandable. Who told them to send troops to fight people, but he, the leader who has always been the most generous, is unhappy. All with a bit of annoyance.

……

Song Qing really had no way out. Although relying on his own wit and flexibility, he captured the Taiping Road area with a radius of hundreds of miles very quickly, but this place was next to Xu Shouhui's territory, and the other party would never let him go. If you occupy this place for a long time, you will inevitably send troops to rob it.

For Song Qing, the current situation is that it is easier to attack the city than it is to defend the city. The separatists on both sides of the east and west are several times stronger than him, and there is no reason why he can be stable for a long time. Can keep their own military power.

It's better than assigning all his soldiers to Xu Da as Zhang Wuji arranged, and then he goes back by himself.

Although from the perspective of his longevity and good health, Zhang Wuji's arrangement is not unreasonable.But if a person can't stand upright between the heaven and the earth, and has to hide his head and cover his tail all his life, and hide himself from others, then what's the point of living a long life!

Chen Youliang was very generous, and in front of Xu Shouhui, he sponsored Song Qing for the position of General Dingbei, and found a spacious house for Song Qing to live in in Xishui City not far from his own Marshal's Mansion.As if showing the enthusiastic face he used to have when he was in the beggars' gang, when he met, the brothers Song and Brother Song were really affectionate.

Song Qing watched with cold eyes for several days, and found that Xu Shouhui, the emperor of Tianwan, was a man of great ambition and talent. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an overlord.

As a result, it saved a lot of trouble. You don't need to worry too much, just deal with Chen Youliang well.But Song Qing has dealt with Chen Youliang, and he knows that he is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goal.

But there are also advantages, that is, daring to act, resolute and capable, and a happy person. He is indeed a capable person.As long as you make it clear to him and the two of you agree on your goals, it will be smoother to work with this person.

This day, Marshal Chen's mansion sent an invitation to invite General Song to drink in the evening. Song Qing knew that he had been here for a long time, and he had enough rest. Chen Youliang thought it was time to talk to him about what to allocate Do military affairs for him.

His subordinates Song Wuyi, Qi Tianbao and Wang Daquan all stayed in the barracks, only Song Gaishi led a group of personal soldiers to live in Xishui City.

In the evening, he took Song Gaishi and a few soldiers to Marshal Chen's mansion for a banquet.

Song Gaishi was not qualified to sit with Marshal Chen, so he waited honestly outside, and the servants of the Marshal's Mansion came to entertain them. Song Qing went to see Chen Youliang on his own, and followed the soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion through a garden with a rockery pond. In a brightly lit hall, there is a table for the Eight Immortals, with all the food and wine on the table. You can see a bowl of snow-white fish soup steaming. It is not easy to have fresh fish at this time of year.

Chen Youliang was already sitting and waiting.Seeing Song Qing coming, he greeted loudly, "Brother Song, come quickly, come and sit down!"

Song Qing approached, cupped his fists in salute, "Marshal, I'm sorry to have waited for a long time."

Chen Youliang laughed, "No, no, I just sat down too. What are you doing so angry? How many times have I told you? You still call me Brother Chen when there is no one. .”

Song Qing followed the good advice, "Then my younger brother should be respectful rather than obedient. Brother Chen took the time to find me today because he wanted to talk about where I should take people with me in the future?"

Chen Youliang nodded and said, "That's right. Since Brother Song is so forthright, I won't be too devious. Let's talk straight. Brother Song, what you have done in the vicinity of Sizhou and in the west of Wanxi is very impressive after I heard about it. Appreciation! I didn’t expect Brother Song that you are not only superb in martial arts, but also so powerful in leading soldiers and fighting. I really didn’t realize that you still have such abilities. You are really talented and beautiful. Go to Xinyang in the south of Henan, where Yuan General Tuo Yin is stationed."

"Xinyang Mansion in Southern Henan?" Song Qing thought for a while and asked, "How many people does Tuoyin have in Xinyang?"

"fifty thousand."

Song Qing shivered and said solemnly, "Brother Chen, I have a full force of men, but there are only 2 troops, and most of them were recruited recently. They are not well trained and not very good at fighting. Let me take such a team to attack Xinyang's 5 I'm afraid the Ten Thousand Army has no chance of winning."

Chen Youliang smiled, "Brother Song, don't worry, I will send someone to support you later."

Song Qing cursed secretly in his heart, this cunning guy obviously wanted his own people to take the lead to find out the way, and it would be best if he could take down Xinyang Mansion, if the 5 people of Tuoyin were very powerful, then he would go and fight first, It will be much easier for Chen Youliang to send people to attack after consuming part of his troops.

"Brother Chen, brother, I came to Xishui sincerely and wholeheartedly wanted to seek a great cause together with him. Naturally, I dare not be sloppy in this first battle, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. It is really impossible to fight. If Wait until I lose you and then send troops there, why not let me take everyone there at once, it doesn’t make any difference if they go two days earlier or two days later.”

Chen Youliang leisurely raised his wine glass, "Come have a drink first." He drank with his neck up, and after Song Qing drank, he said, "To tell you the truth, Brother Song, I can't dispatch any manpower at the moment, so I let you go." You take people to go first, as soon as my soldiers and horses are ready, they will definitely arrive later. You don’t know, the current situation is difficult. To the northeast of us is Zhang Mingjian, and to the east are Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da under Mingjiao Zhang Wuji’s subordinates , there are Yuan armies in the south and north, and my brother's soldiers are really exhausted to deal with it..."

After talking at length for a while, he felt that something was wrong, and found that Song Qing didn't interrupt, and while he was talking, he was drinking bowl after bowl of hot fish soup.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother Song, is this fish soup delicious?"

Song Qing remained expressionless, "Yeah, it's delicious, and the chefs in the elder brother's house are good at cooking." Knowing that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, he had to be very calm and pretend to be serious.

He can't do anything, his body is still weak, he can't be hungry, he can't be tired, and he can't eat well.Leading people to fight on Taiping Road for a period of time is really a lot of money, and I have not dared to neglect it recently.This evening, I came to the Marshal's Mansion to have dinner later than usual, and Chen Youliang kept trying to persuade him to drink. He really felt uncomfortable if he didn't eat anything.

Chen Youliang shook his head, seeing that Song Qing was dressed in a blue robe, dressed in a casual manner, sitting upright, drinking bowls of fish soup in a polite manner, not at all like a general.Probably because he drank warmly, some blush appeared on his snow-white face, and his lips were also flushed. With the emerald feather-like eyebrows and eyes, it was very pleasing to the eye.

Deciding not to gain knowledge with him, he continued, "Mingjiao has a general named Chang Yuchun, brother must have heard of him, this person is very unconscious, he just attacked my soldiers in Jiuhua Mountain area last month, and killed many soldiers. It is unreasonable for few people not to say anything, but to show off their power and provocation, this must not be left alone, I am planning to let Kang Maocai take people to meet it."

Some soldiers came in to add food and warm wine.Chen Youliang stopped talking, and stretched out his hand to scoop up a bowl of soup for himself, "I'll try it, it's really delicious." Seeing this, the little soldier on the side quickly took the soup spoon, ready to help him serve it, Chen Youliang smoothly Even the bowl was handed to him, suddenly blurred in front of his eyes, instinctively dodged to the left, a pot of fish soup with fish and a fresh and slightly fishy smell flew past his ears, and landed behind him on the wall.The basin containing the fish was smashed to pieces, which shows the great force.

Then the little soldier pulled out two gleaming sharp knives from his sleeves and rushed forward, "You villain surnamed Chen, today is the time for you to fight for the life of Gang Master Shi!" Another soldier warming wine also drew a soft sword from his waist When they came up to attack, the two were experienced and deadly, they were actually two first-class masters.

Chen Youliang's martial arts is also good, but at most he can draw with one of them. At this time, the two of them with their bare hands are attacking with sharp blades together, and it is suddenly dangerous.After blocking a few moves, he was forced to the wall, and there was nowhere to retreat. He shouted at the guards outside, but it was too late to rescue him.

The assassins pretending to be soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, "Take your life!" Two knives and one sword reached Chen Youliang's chest together.

There was a cyan figure inserted beside him, a pair of white and slender palms turned left and right, and changed in seven or eight patterns. Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand, and with a pop, five fingers went straight into the shoulder holding the soft sword.

The man yelled, and leaped back, the stabbing with the two knives in his hand also retreated to support them, the two raised their heads, and it was surprising that they were the elders of the Beggar Clan who passed on their skills and the head of the palm stick, disguised as the former leader of the Shi Clan, who came to avenge their revenge.

Zhang Banglong covered his shoulders and stared at Song Qing, startled and angry, and shouted loudly, "Song, you are not dead! You are working hand in hand with the traitor Chen Youliang again!"

Song Qing stretched a bloody hand farther away to avoid rubbing against his clothes, and said angrily, "Elder Chuangong, who is in charge of the dragon head, Marshal Chen is now the leader of the rebel army fighting against the imperial court. I hope you two will put aside your personal grievances. Take the family and the country as the most important thing, don't hurt him and damage the rebel army."

The leader of the gang gave a harsh "bah", "Stop talking nonsense, he is a treacherous person, everyone can punish him, and you, you are not a good thing!"

Elder Chuan Gong heard the chaotic footsteps approaching outside the house, and knew that Chen Youliang's bodyguards had arrived, and the head of Zhang Bang was injured. They must not be able to please them if they were besieged by the crowd, so he set up the head of Zhang Bang and shouted, "Let's go!" He flew out of the window Pounced out.

The soldiers who rushed outside saw two people coming out of the marshal's room through the broken window, and immediately shouted in shock, yelling and chasing after them.

Song Qing knew that with these soldiers, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the two masters of the Beggar Gang, so he didn't care too much. He went to help Chen Youliang, "Brother Chen, are you okay?"

Chen Youliang was just now rushing to use his skills to resist, so he was out of breath. He sat on the ground panting hard, and was supported by Song Qing before he spoke, "Damn it, these lingering bastards from the beggar gang are all chasing here Here we come, it seems that more soldiers will be sent to guard the mansion in the future."

He said again, "Thanks to you, Brother Song's martial arts is really..." He thought it would be wicked, but he just saved himself, so he couldn't speak rudely, so he changed his words, "It's much higher than before. Thank you very much!"

Song Qing looked at him and said, "Brother Chen, why should you be angry? I said earlier that I sincerely came to help Brother Chen in his great cause. Naturally, I must try my best to protect Brother Chen. You can always trust me."

Chen Youliang laughed, and slapped him hard on the shoulder, "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity to me, I will give you another 2 troops, and this time you will lead an army of [-] to attack Xinyang, which is feasible. Let’s go. Brother, you have to do your best, don’t let Brother Wei down!”
