Chapter 34 (1/2)
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow falls on the ridge of the mountain, with a faint warmth. Birds chirp from time to time in the dense forest, and occasionally small animals can be seen flying by.
In the distance, smoke and dust were flying on the official roads, and flags were fluttering. A group of soldiers of the imperial court marched eastward, followed by a large group of grain, grass and transportation vehicles, and there were also travelling horses around. The momentum looked majestic.
Half way up the hill, a tall, plump and graceful woman stood on a big stone, carrying a long sword. Long hair as black as ink, skin light Sheng Xue, a purple dress, without any ornaments embellishment, still does not damage the beautiful color of upside down all living beings.
Qinglin and Qingyuan brothers stood behind her, silent and respectful.
The three looked at it quietly for a while. The woman sighed, and the soft voice filled with magnetism rang out: ”the vigor of the imperial court is going from bad to worse. It seems that it is not far from the destiny to change the tripod and change the dynasty.”
Qingyuan Taoist thought for a while and said, ”Uncle Shi said it's good, but the power of the imperial court still can't be underestimated. With more than 100000 troops arriving at the same time, Wu zhence is facing a lot of pressure.”
”Wu zhence is the Qianlong chosen by his school. Naturally, he has some good luck. If he can't pass this pass, how can he compete in the world and build the Yuan Dynasty in the future?”
The two brothers were silent. Wu zhence's current military strength is only over 100000, and there are still many new recruits. Under normal circumstances, he is not sure to defeat more than 100000 elite of the imperial court. It is because the school has sent many disciples to assist him. He has been running around for him, spying on the military situation, buying in the spies, recruiting talents and so on. We must help Qianlong win this crucial war.
Jingnan county changed last time, which attracted the attention of many hidden sects. After the Qinglin brothers reported the news, although the high-level of the school attached great importance to it, most elders still tended to think that it was an accident. Therefore, they just continued to pay attention to it, and no further measures were taken. Later, in order to help Wu zhence, yunqijun, a reclusive and reclusive real man, came out of the mountain to control all his disciples.
Yun Qijun's accomplishments are outstanding among his peers. He is not only superb in swordsmanship, but also only half a step away from breaking the shackles of immortals. In fact, he has become a candidate for the next generation of masters.
For zongmen's decision, Yun Qijun, though somewhat disagreed, still obeyed the arrangement.
However, in the last two months, although Wu zhence has been victorious and gaining momentum, Zhao Yuanjin's performance in Jingzhou is also remarkable. Thousands of people were stationed in the city, but they suppressed tens of thousands of elite officials. Not long ago, even the granary was completely burned by a fire.
Fortunately, the imperial court's order to dispatch troops came in time. Feng Qingyun led the troops to withdraw early the next morning, avoiding the doomed disaster. Otherwise, if it was delayed for another day or two, the court would receive the death news of the second general.
After the withdrawal of the Imperial Army, Zhao Yuanjin was not idle, and soon continued to send troops to recover the four counties under the jurisdiction of Yangcheng County. Then he went to Shangyang county and captured the city in three days.
When the news spread, the school's senior officials were more and more wary of Zhao Yuanjin. After several considerations, the head teacher decided to let Yun Qijun put aside Wu zhence's affairs for the time being and come to Jingzhou to inquire for information in person. He tried to meet Zhao Yuanjin and solve the problem as soon as possible.
“…… I never believed that Zhao Yuanjin would have any destiny. ”
Yun Qijun Dai Mei frowned and said:” ten years ago, the ancestor had spent a lot of money to deduce the natural mechanism and decided that the real dragon should come from Huaiyang. Two years ago, Wu zhence led a hundred people in the township, killed officials and seized Qijiang County overnight. Later, he devoted himself to business and expanded step by step, until now the dragon spirit is flourishing It has the image of a king. It can be seen that there is no error in the instructions of our ancestors. ”
”But now it seems that it will take Wu zhence some time to defeat the imperial army. It will take three to five months as soon as possible, and one and a half years later. If Zhao Yuanjin takes the opportunity to occupy the whole area of Jingxiang and even peep at Yizhou during this period, his power will grow stronger and stronger, which is not good news for us. ”
The school invested a lot in Wu zhence. As long as he tried to help him win the war, the imperial court's power in the South would be greatly weakened. At that time, Wu zhence could take advantage of the situation to call himself a king and establish his country. It would be natural for him to swallow up those small princes and unify the south.
However, once Zhao Yuanjin takes advantage of this rare opportunity period to rise, the South will evolve into a pattern of two tigers competing, the winner or loser is unknown.
