From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 346

"On the seventh day of May, the Five Army Battalions, with a total of 54,000 people, arrived in Chenzhou and joined Deng Su and other civil officials, preparing to go north to Kaifeng to make further plans."

"More than 70,000 reinforcements from Yingcheng and Songyang arrived, and after two days of bloody battles, we finally beat them back."

"Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the Five Army Battalions returned south again and stationed in Shangcai."

"According to your majesty's orders, we did not launch an attack on the civil officials stationed in Yancheng and Chenzhou, but rushed south directly, cooperating with the troops of Runing, and forced the Five Army Battalions to Sui Ping."

At this point, Tian He whispered: "On May 12, our Nanyang army also arrived. So far, the four armies have been fully assembled and launched a total. "

"After six days and nights of bloody battles, we lost 43,000 people and the other side lost 20,000 people."

"As of today, there are only 30,000 people left in the Fifth Army Camp, retreating to the commanding heights of Chaya Mountain to fight a desperate battle."

Zhang Bailong frowned and said in a deep voice: "There are 17,000 people led by Liu Fang in Guangzhou, but there are only 60,000 people in the Fifth Army Camp. "

"You mean, the soldiers who died in the bloody battle of Suiping, the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion, should be the militiamen recruited in Kaifeng, and we did not damage the foundation of the Fifth Army Battalion?"

Tian He nodded and said, "That's right. The elite of the Fifth Army Battalion has extremely high combat effectiveness, strict military discipline, and strict discipline. It is really difficult to deal with them."

"At present, we are also facing many difficulties in besieging Chaya Mountain. We can't do anything about them."

Zhang Bailong said, "Didn't you send envoys to ask for peace and surrender?"

Tian He said, "We did, but they were Fang bombarded, and the deputy governor of the Fifth Army Camp Xiang Yong said... said..."

Zhang Bailong frowned and said: "Why are you hesitating! Speak!"

Tian He gritted his teeth and said: "The other party is talking nonsense, saying that except for Your Majesty, they don't recognize anyone and no one will surrender."

"If you want to surrender, Your Majesty has to go and persuade them in person."

Speaking of this, Tian He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must not go, this must be a trick, the other party must know that they will die, so they want to drag Your Majesty into the water."

Zhang Bailong was silent.

It is very likely that they will drag the other emperor into the water before they die.

But if they continue to fight like this, the autumn harvest will be delayed, and I don't know how many people will starve to death.

The Central Plains has opened a new dynasty, and it can't afford to continue to sacrifice, and it really needs the Five Army Camps!

Finally, he slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! I, Zhang Bailong, have been in this business for two and a half years and have never been afraid of anything!"

Tian He said: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous. What if the other party is immoral and harms Your Majesty?"

"No problem!"

Zhang Bailong said in a deep voice: "I'll take Chu Feifan with me! With his protection, no one can assassinate me."

Tian He frowned and whispered: "Your Majesty, Chu Feifan is a greedy man with endless greed. I'm worried that his position is not firm. I can't let him get close to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Bailong thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "Then I'll take the Saint , so it will be safe."

Tian He said: "When does your majesty plan to set off? How many people will you take?"

Zhang Bailong said: "The autumn harvest is imminent, and the siege war has caused huge casualties every day. There is no time to waste. I will set off tomorrow, taking the saint and the guards with me."

"It will only take four or five days to travel from Luoyang to Chaya Mountain by night."

Tian He said: "Okay, then I will send people to clear the road in advance to avoid danger on the road."

...

In Gujing Village, Song County, facing the rising sun, Zhou Yuan raised the knife in his hand and began to swing it. After performing more than a dozen sets of movements, he let out a long breath and felt much better.

Li Yu'an sat on the chair and shook her head slowly, saying, "That's not how you fight. This set of sword techniques for conquering demons is derived from the Qingcheng Sect of the Orthodox Taoist sect of Heavenly Master. It emphasizes being fierce and domineering, opening and closing, and using force to overwhelm others."

"Just look at that Xiaozhuang and you'll understand. She has already grasped the root of this set of Taoist techniques and is close to perfection. She's taking the domineering path."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Venerable sister, you've been talking all the time. Why don't you teach me a few moves? Your skills are so high. What's the point of not passing them on?"

Li Yu'an waved her hand and said, "No need. , my sister has given you the best things, but you are hindered by the secular world and cannot calmly comprehend, so you have not been able to get the key points. "

"For example, the Pure Yang Wuji Gong is the highest and most yang mental method of the Quanzhen Shenlong Dao. As long as you practice it to perfection, there will be only ten people in the world who can beat you."

Zhou Yuan thought about it and said, "If you practice it to perfection, can you beat Song Shanzi?"

The battle in Lin'an Prefecture left a deep impression on Zhou Yuan. The food chain of big fish eating small fish gave him the initial judgment of martial arts.

Ye Qingying couldn't beat Cai Ni, Cai Ni couldn't beat Zhuang Sizhu, Zhuang Sizhu couldn't beat Song Shanzi, and Song Shanzi was killed by Wanyan Daichan in one move...

If you can reach Song Shanzi's level, you shouldIt should be very powerful.

Li Yu'an said: "The internal force is definitely better, but Song Shanzi is the orthodox of Longhu Mountain after all, and the moves he has practiced for decades are not comparable to you."

Zhou Yuan said: "I still have to intensify my training. In the future, I have to have the strength to protect my life on the battlefield."

As soon as the voice fell, Dong Yu ran into the yard and said anxiously: "Sir, the pigeon sent a letter with a magpie sign."

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Bring it here!"

He opened the small letter and said happily: "It's done! It's done!"

Li Yu'an came over and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's done?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Zhang Bailong, with Cai Ni and fifteen guards, rode fast horses all the way east to Chaya Mountain this morning."

"The expected route should be from Longmen Pass in Luoyang, through Ruzhou, Yingcheng, and Ye County official roads, to Wuyang, and finally arrived at Chaya Mountain. "

"Sister Saint, I'm going to trouble you this time."

Li Yu'an glared and said, "You don't want me to assassinate Zhang Bailong, do you?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "That's meaningless. Even if Zhang Bailong dies, the peasant soldiers are still there, and they will be divided into many factions, which will be even more difficult to eliminate."

"I want Sister Saint to set off for Ruzhou immediately and meet Cai Ni. No matter what the reason, follow Zhang Bailong to Chaya Mountain."

"Then... bring Cai Ni!"

Li Yu'an frowned and said in a deep voice, "That's all?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Of course not. Sister Saint also asks Sister Saint to observe the appearance of the fifteen guards and Zhang Bailong in detail, and make their masks within three or four days of traveling."

Hearing this, Li Yu'an suddenly looked up and slowly widened her eyes.

She said word by word: "Zhou Yuan, I know what you are going to do! I know!"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Virgin Mary sister guessed right, I want to be Zhang Bailong, take Cai Ni and fifteen guards, and return to Luoyang."

"I have been the Grand Marshal for so long, I also want to try the taste of the emperor!"

Li Yu'an said in horror: "You are too scary, Zhang Bailong will never think that you have this trick."

Zhou Yuan clasped his fists and said: "It's all thanks to the Virgin Mary sister, please help me."

Li Yu'an said, "Of course I will help you. You have fought so hard, I have no reason not to help you."

"After all, I still have to wait for you to go back to Goryeo with me."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "There is a Tongfu Inn in Ruzhou. There are several people living in Room No. 1. Sister, go there to find them. They will give you information."

Li Yu'an nodded and said, "So you have been arranging these things for a long time."

Zhou Yuan said, "Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not qualified to plan for a region. When fighting a war, you should be more prepared."
