Song Qingshu of Destiny

At this time, there are still nearly two months before Shaolin convenes the Lion Slaying Heroes Meeting, Wei Bi and Qing Shu plan to go to Haozhou.At this time, the Haozhou Rebel Army was led by Zhu Yuanzhang, with Deng Yu and Hua Yun as assistants in charge, and Tang He in charge.

Along the way, Wei Bi was thinking about how to get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a soldier at this time. It would not be difficult to sneak into his room at night and kill him with a sword, but that would definitely shake the morale of the army and leave behind some bad Impact.But of course, what Wei Bi thought was that if he didn't come up with a good solution when he arrived in Haozhou, he would just kill him directly, and there is no point in procrastinating and looking around for those who make big things happen.

Riding on the horse, Qingshu said very casually: "Brother, we will be able to reach Haozhou in four or five days, why not send a banner owner to report the news?"

Wei Bi thought about it, and felt that it was appropriate, so he sent Yan Yuan, the envoy of the Houtu Banner, to inform Zhu Yuanzhang of the itinerary first.

If it is said that his majestic leader came to Haozhou, it would be better to make a big splash than to be sneaky.This time Wei Bi's banner is that the leader will inspect the rebels in various places. Since Zhu Yuanzhang is the person in charge of the Haozhou area, he must entertain the leader well. At that time, he might as well make a fool of himself and praise him more, and then wait until he leaves Haozhou. Night sneaked back into the city to kill people without anyone noticing——Thinking of this, Wei Bi also made up his mind.

However, Qingshu said at this time: "I remember that a few days ago there was a rumor that Taizhou Fang Guozhen asked for help from Haozhou. This matter... what do you think, brother?"

It turns out that in recent years, rebels have sprung up all over the country. Apart from a few rebels under Mingjiao's command, Zhang Shicheng from Gusu and Fang Guozhen from Taizhou are also powerful.However, Zhang Shicheng had been recruited by the Yuan court a few years ago, and he was still leading the army under his command until he became a Taiwei, but he turned his spearhead and started to deal with the rebels.

Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng had always been at odds and had endless disputes with each other. Zhang Shicheng had no choice but to surrender to the Dayuan court because he was attacked by the Yuan army and Fang Guozhen.

After becoming the Grand Captain of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng naturally wanted to vent his anger, so he had a fierce fight with Fang Guozhen.King Ruyang led the army to fight the Mingjiaoyi army, so he was naturally willing to let Zhang Shicheng contain Fang Guozhen. Besides, those two families are Han people, and they like to fight whatever they want. Chahan Timur really couldn't ask for it.

The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff. The Dayuan court has searched for the people's fat and cream for so many years. At least there is not much shortage of military expenses.

Seeing that things were not going well, Fang Guozhen had to write a letter to ask for help from Zhu Yuanzhang of Haozhou. Haozhou, Gusu and Taizhou were not far away and formed a tripartite confrontation. After Zhu Yuanzhang managed Haozhou well, he naturally wanted to win over Fang Guozhen to further erode Zhang Shicheng Therefore, he also agreed to support—all this happened just a few days ago, and Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet been able to meet with Fang Guozhen for a detailed discussion.

As one of the leaders of the rebel army under the Mingjiao, Zhu Yuanzhang has to behave himself for the time being. Of course, this important matter of forming an alliance with others is not easy to be good at. A few days ago, he wrote a letter and informed Wei Bi. At that time, Wei Bi only let Zhu Yuanzhang Just do it cheaply.

In fact, Wei Bi was already preparing to set off to kill Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, and he could handle the alliance by himself in the future, so naturally there was no need to pay more attention to it.

At this moment, when Qing Shu suddenly mentioned this matter, Wei Bi couldn't help asking: "It's a good thing to work together to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, but you, Qing Shu, don't you have... another good idea?" He deliberately put the "good idea" three times This word is bitten extremely hard, clearly referring to something else.

Qing Shu smiled faintly, glanced at the five-element flag guarding the front and rear without any trace, and said leisurely: "I'll tell you at night." refers to.Wei Bi glared at him a few times, knowing that it was not a good time to talk, so he hurried on his way.

After staying at night, Wei Bi couldn't wait to pull Qingshu to ask for "good ideas". He knew that Qingshu was full of bad things, and this time the scheme must be aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang, and he wanted to know it all the way.

Naturally, Qing Shu would not miss this opportunity. While eating tofu, he approached Wei Bi and said a few words in Wei Bi's ear. Had a peaceful night.

In the next few days, he hurried on the road, and arrived outside Haozhou City at noon this day.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already heard the news, but he didn't come to greet him in person. Tang He led a guard of honor at the city gate to welcome Wei Bi and others into the city.Qing Shu was a few steps behind, not walking with Wei Bi, and gave up his position to let Tang He discuss government affairs with Wei Bi.

On the way, Tang He bowed slightly and said: "Marshal Zhu, Generals Deng Yu and General Hua Yun are discussing the emergency military situation, and they are overjoyed to learn that the leader is coming. Because of military affairs, he has not been able to welcome him personally, so please forgive me guilty of disrespect."

Wei Bi's face was benevolent, and he said with a smile: "We are all brothers in our own family, so why do we need these vain gifts? Naturally, the military situation is important, haha, Brother Tang is thinking too much." Tang He responded with a smile, The atmosphere is very nice.

That night, a grand banquet was held in the courtyard where Wei Bi was staying, accompanied by Tang He and Deng Yu.However, Qingshu did not attend on the grounds that monks like to be quiet, and said that the journey was tiring, so they only rested in the guest room.Qing Shu was not a member of the Ming Cult, so Tang He and the others certainly wouldn't force him, and only ordered his servants to set up a vegetarian banquet to entertain him well.

Here, Wei Bi and the others spent three rounds of drinking before Zhu Yuanzhang hurried over with General Hua Yun, and prostrated himself on the ground in front of the banquet.Wei Bi hurriedly helped him up, and said with a little complaint: "Brother Zhu still doesn't know me? Why do you need to be so polite?" Zhu Yuanzhang said yes with a smile, poured the wine himself, and respectfully offered three glasses to Wei Bi. After drinking the Bi, the host and guest are enjoying themselves.

During the meeting, talking about the situation of various military forces, Zhu Yuanzhang reported the performance of attacking cities and lands, and he spoke very modestly, saying that the leader had a good leadership.Wei Bi said with a heroic smile: "Brother Zhu has killed countless Tartars over the years. He is really a great hero of the Han family in recovering the Central Plains. I will keep all these in mind, and we will never lose each other in the future! Come, cheers!"

Everyone drank until their cups were dry, and drank until the moon was in the sky. Everyone returned home happily, and they rested without mentioning it.

Wei Bi and the others temporarily stayed in Haozhou.On the second day, Wei Bi went to inspect the barracks, gave another passionate speech, and communicated with the rebels many times, and solved many bad habits and problems on the spot, which made ordinary soldiers have a better understanding of this high-ranking leader. Clear understanding, from top to bottom, there are many praises.

Almost all Haozhou rebels were trained by Zhu Yuanzhang to become soldiers of his Zhu family, and their impression of Mingjiao was very weak.This time, Wei Bi's tour of the camp only started from the righteousness of the nation, and avoided all kinds of power issues and some hidden contradictions. The generals chatted happily, and at the same time received a lot of admiration.

Zhu Yuanzhang was with him all the time, and when he was about to go back, Wei Bi suddenly said to Zhu Yuanzhang very casually: "Brother Zhu, I remember that you sent a message to me a few days ago. It seems that Fang Guozhen's unit in Taizhou asked Haozhou for help? This matter is now How is it going?"

Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully said: "I would like to report to the leader, my subordinates have written back stating that we will cooperate with them to attack Zhang Shicheng's troops. However, the specific arrangements cannot be discussed until we meet each other, so there is not much progress. Incompetent."

"Hey, brother Zhu is too modest." Wei Bi said gently: "I can't be more assured of your ability." He patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Brother Zhu's help is really a gift from heaven. It's my luck."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to say anything, but thanked the leader for his trust and promotion with tears in his eyes, and vowed to be loyal to the leader, expel Meng Yuan, and restore the Han family.

Wei Bi nodded again and again, showing admiration on his face, and suddenly said: "Brother Zhu has not met Fang Guozhen so far, but he can't let go of Haozhou's military affairs?" In terms of politics, Deng Yu and Hua Yun's main army is really well-organized and not chaotic at all. It can be seen that Brother Zhu is leading well. But Brother Zhu can go to Taizhou immediately to meet with Fang Guozhen, so as to finalize the strategy as soon as possible. Hit Zhang Shicheng and kill this thief who has forgotten his ancestors. Besides, I happen to be in Haozhou at this time. If there is anything, I can help you look after it. I will go to Huaidi when you come back. What do you think? ?”

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion did not change at all, he only paused for a moment, and then he made sense, the leader was wise, so he immediately went to prepare and set off tomorrow.

Wei Bi and Zhu Yuanzhang talked and laughed all the way back to the house where they were staying, and then parted with each other reluctantly. After watching Wei Bi enter the courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and returned.

The next day Zhu Yuanzhang took Wu Liang, Wu Zhen brothers and hundreds of elite soldiers to Taizhou.This Haozhou is not far from Taizhou, and the road is under the control of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Guozhen, so it can be said that there is no danger.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to leave Haozhou lightly, meeting with Fang Guozhen was imperative.Besides, Wei Bi didn't look like he wanted to cut his power, on the contrary, he relied heavily on him, so Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.In short, Haozhou has been run by him for so many years, but Wei Bi can't turn the world upside down in just a few days.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left Haozhou, Wei Bi didn't interfere much in Haozhou's military affairs. He only communicated with the generals of the rebel army every day, and encouraged Tang, Deng Yu and others, but there was no big banquet at night, right? Go chat with a few high-level generals, have a few drinks with Qing Shu in the yard, play two or three games of chess, sometimes someone is waiting on the side, seeing the two of them in harmony, sometimes they also wave back the subordinates, Qin Xiao In harmony, it is quite like a bosom friend.Everyone in the Ming Cult also knew that Master Wei had a close personal relationship with Song Shaoxia from the Wudang sect, and they all took this situation for granted. When they were alone, there was often music, and no one would bother them.

The people in Haozhou only thought that Song Qingshu was just like the leader of Wei said, he was a quiet son, although he was gentle and polite to others, he was not far or near, which was quite different from the general heroic people in the world.During the day, they would exchange some pleasantries when they met, but Song Qingshu seldom went out, and he never participated in banquets at night, and rested very early, which really fit everyone's impression of Wudang sect's tranquility and self-cultivation.

This night, Wei Bi also gave the servants a pot of wine and a few side dishes, then waved the servants away to "be alone" with Qing Shu.However, no one expected that Wei Bi was the only one drinking alone at the stone table in the pavilion under the melting moon.

In fact, Qingshu is no longer in Haozhou.

On the day Zhu Yuanzhang left, Qingshu was still swaying before everyone's eyes during the day, but at night he used lightness kung fu and went straight to Taizhou to chase him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Taizhou on this day, he was warmly welcomed by Fang Guozhen. The two went to the city hand in hand and had a pleasant conversation.Then there was a grand banquet. At night, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the guest house and only discussed military affairs in the coming day.

That night Zhu Yuanzhang planned to go to bed after grooming, but suddenly he heard some commotion coming from a distance outside the courtyard, and he felt a little suspicious. I went to find out what happened, but unexpectedly came to the door. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a pain in his back. It was drawn away, and the gurgling blood gushed out like a spring.

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless at this moment, he fell backwards, staring wide-eyed, who else could the person who killed him be Qingshu?Zhu Yuanzhang understood everything at once—it's a pity, it's a pity that he was fledgling and hadn't had time to act... After all, he was a step too late, and his career was in vain...

With a calm expression, Qing Shu brandished his sword to mend Zhu Yuanzhang's neck, then suddenly his expression twisted, and he shouted in a strange and hoarse voice: "Fang Guozhen! I never thought you would join forces with Zhang Shicheng to deceive me..."

Before the words finished, the sound of the door opening next door was heard, but when brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen broke in, only Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just died, had blood stained half of the room red, and the silver-white moonlight came from the door. The broken window penetrated and sprinkled on the bright red blood, exuding a sense of desolation.

At this time, Fang Guozhen led his troops to surround the entire house, and shouted angrily amidst the loud sound of hundreds of torches: "Zhu Yuanzhang, come out to see me! You fucking explain to me why you sent someone to assassinate Yu I?!"
