The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

It was another three days, and this day Zhao Tong was sitting in the lobby watching the battle report.

The scouts sent to the direction of the Jingsai Army Division reported back, saying that martial law was under martial law there, and there were crowds of people and horses, and they didn't know what preparations were being made.

Zhao Tong speculated that the Xingqing Mansion's army was about to arrive. Judging from the reaction of the Jingsai Army Division, the Xixia reinforcements had at least entered the territory of the Xiangqing Army.

If this is the case, then according to the normal marching speed, the opponent will arrive at Xishou Baotai Military Division in about five or six days.

Since Yingli City to the north of the Xishou Baotai Military Division has not been captured, the army of the Xingqing Prefecture may settle in Yingli City, or perhaps station in Mingsha City of the Jingsai Army Division, which is parallel to the east.

As for the Jingsai Army Division's Cuta Village, Shangyikou, Weizhou and other places further east, they are all too far away. The Xingqing Prefecture's army will not pass there when coming from the north, let alone go there after coming. Running around.

At this time, Zhao Tong wrote several letters and ordered them to be sent to the army. Now he needed to step up his defense arrangements. Although he had started digging and building fortifications around Huizhou before, it was not enough.

As expected, there will be at least 50,000 to 60,000 Xingqing troops, including Tie Yao Zi, Bu Ba Zi, and the elite guards of the Xingqing Prefecture. It is even more likely that Xixia military gods such as Brother Richard will personally control the formation. It was bound to be an extremely difficult and dangerous battle.

Zhao Tao's idea is to drag this Xixia elite army into Huizhou. It would be best if it can be destroyed. If not, at least the iron kite must be disabled, and then this elite army will be trapped in the quagmire of Huizhou, unable to escape. Escape easily.

If this step can be achieved, then General Lu's plan to "move out of Xiliang Mansion" will be successful. Xingqing Mansion does not have Brother Richard in charge, and there are no elite soldiers like Tie Yao Zi Bu Ba Zi, so General Lu will go straight to Xingqing Mansion. Only in this state can the idea of ​​sneak attack on the city have a slight possibility of being realized.

And if it really comes true, if we continue to bite Brother Richard, then Xixia will definitely be in chaos, or even we can directly declare that Xixia... will be destroyed!

After all, the capital of Xixia is destroyed, and the royal capital is no longer destroyed, so how can we talk about the complete state affairs and the military and administration of a country?

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that if the capital is destroyed, the country will no longer exist. Therefore, no matter in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, or the Three Kingdoms, all parties tried their best to destroy the other party's capital. Because the capital was captured, no matter where it was, In name, or in actual situations, it will deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

This is the saying goes: to shoot a man first, shoot a horse, to capture a thief first, to capture the king, to use troops to the extreme, and to destroy a country, this is the principle.

After setting everything up, Zhao Tong stood up from his chair and let out a long breath. He had done everything he could in Huizhou, not to the extreme, but not too far behind. The rest was all up to General Lu. Over there.

A few days ago, he felt that it was inappropriate for General Lu to have only one general, Shi Jin, so he sent Yang Zhi there again.

Yang Zhi and Shi Jin both have the martial arts skills of little masters and are good at fighting on horseback. He can rest assured that they can cooperate with each other. Otherwise, General Lu will not be able to restrain a chicken and he is a scholar. If Shi Jin is alone on the battlefield, he will not be able to support himself. He couldn't help, so if he wanted to do something bad, it would be better to have one more person coordinate the team to reduce a lot of worries.

What's more, if the troops leave Xiliang Prefecture, it will be a serious matter. If you can give any support here, you can give it. When you save it, you really kill Xingzhou, but you find that the weight does not weigh the scale, and the manpower cannot take the capital of Xixia. That's terrible It makes the world laugh and is embarrassing.

As for whether General Lu's soldiers were sufficient or not, he had no choice. He was also stretched thin. For General Lu's five thousand cavalry, he paid more than a thousand more horses. How could he exchange the rest for more? As for people, it all depends on General Lu’s ability.

After much deliberation, Zhao Tong walked out of the lobby and ran towards Yuan Jing's yard.

He has not been there in the past few days. One reason is that it is really awkward to meet him, and the other reason is that he has nothing to say.

What he wanted to know was why the other party was able to relieve his obsessive state, so it was better to let the other party think about it for a few days and then ask again.

Now that it was almost time, I wanted to go there and see if Yuan Jing could tell me the reason so that I could resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Entering the small courtyard, he saw the mother-in-law watering the flowers, and the sound of words came from the house. He walked into the main room with his hands behind his hands, and saw Yuan Jing talking to Twenty-eight. When he came in, he immediately shut up and then got up. Go to the inner room.

Yuan Ying also stood up and said, "Master, why are you here?"

Zhao Tanpi said with a smile: "I'm here to see your 19th sister, and I want to ask her something by the way."

"Oh..." Yuan Ying looked at Zhao Tong and then looked inside: "Master, how about... you go in and say hello?"

Zhao Tong nodded: "Twenty-eight, go out for a walk and remember to close the door."

Yuan Ying turned around and walked out of the door. Zhao Tong lifted up the bead curtain and walked into the inner room, then closed the door and said, "Yuan Jing, have you ever thought of the reason for what I said a few days ago?"

Yuan Jing stood by the couch, with her back to him, and said calmly: "I would rather die than think about such shameless things, no matter what the reason is!"

Zhao Tong was stunned when he heard this, thinking: What do you mean by this, would you rather die than think about it? Did you think about it or not?

He frowned and said: "This matter is related to your own situation, how can you not think about it?"

Yuan Jing's body trembled when he heard the words, and turned around and said: "I am now imprisoned here by you. I have lost all my martial arts skills and no freedom at all. I am still being bullied and humiliated by you... by you. Now my life is worse than death. What else can I do?" think?!"

"Um..." Zhao Tong looked at her, squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "If you don't think about it and find out the reason for this matter, wouldn't you be imprisoned even more and be insulted by me all the time? Is life worse than death? Do you hope so?"

"You!" Yuan Jing's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this: "Beast!"

Zhao Tao touched his chin. A beast is just a beast. It is worse than being worse than a beast.

"So... I hope you will think about it carefully. If you can figure out the reason, let me clear up my confusion, and figure out a way to restrain yourself from going crazy, maybe I will be lenient and let you go."

"Let me go?" Yuan Jing couldn't help but froze for a moment after hearing this. The evil thief actually said that he wanted to let him go. Could it be that what he said about being possessed was indeed true?

But when he acted like an animal, how could he look like he was possessed by something crazy?

"Let you go!" Zhao Tong said: "I always keep my word to the letter and will never regret it. Everyone in the world knows this!"

"You keep your word and never regret it?" Yuan Jing looked at Zhao Tao and sneered: "How can I trust you if you can do such shameless things?"

Zhao Tong frowned and said, "I told you that he was possessed, lost his mind, and couldn't help himself!"

Yuan Jing stared into Zhao Tong's eyes and said nothing, just unmoved.

Zhao Tong looked at her eyes as clear as water and a sad look on her face. He couldn't help turning his head and coughed: "How can I break my words? If you don't believe me, you can ask Twenty-Eight!"

"Twenty-eight-year-old sister is young and ignorant. She was tricked by you into becoming your teacher. How can she see through your true face? She is not blinded by you and always says good things to you!"

"What's wrong with becoming my disciple?" Zhao Tong immediately became unhappy. What does it mean to trick Twenty-Eight into becoming his disciple? "My martial arts skills are not only impressive in the past, but I am also one of the few enemies in this world. Why did Twenty-Eight lose her by worshiping me as my teacher? She is my first disciple. I am never stingy in imparting my unique martial arts, not to mention this king. Waiting for status, what kind of apprentice can't be found? Why don't we just take her under my disciple because she has some talent? There is no way to deceive her!"

"You know whether I have been deceived or not!" Yuan Jing said, then turned around.

Zhao Tong looked at her for a moment and said: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I advise you to think about it carefully. If you think about it, you may leave this state. If you can't think of it... I'm afraid you will have to follow it for the rest of your life. The king is here!"

After he finished speaking, he snorted and turned around to leave, then slammed the door. Yuan Jing turned around to look, with a frown on his face and an angry look on his face.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. That evening, Zhao Tao performed a spectacular dance in the woods. He felt that his mind was clear and his body was as light as a swallow. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

There was no sign of the obsession in the past few days. The Thirteen Deadly Swords seemed to be hidden. Even the energy and blood in his body was extremely deep. There was no sign of a riot. He couldn't help but feel that the incident of the obsession might have passed.

In this way, you can accumulate well and prepare to truly reach the Grand Master and stabilize the Grand Master realm.

When they returned to the courtyard, it was already dark. Two lanterns were raised in front of the door, their light flickering. Zhao Tong sat at the stone table drinking tea and enjoying the coolness.

It was already late in the summer, and it was a sweltering time. He drank a full can before going back to his room, and then went to bed to sleep.

I don't know how many hours passed, but the moon was hanging in the middle of the night outside the window. Zhao Tong suddenly sat up from the couch.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were blood red, his face was twitching, one hand was firmly grasping the edge of the couch, and his whole arm was trembling.

It’s broken, why did it happen again!

In just a few breaths, he was covered in sweat, beads of sweat fell down from his forehead, and his expression became twisted and ferocious.

No, it’s even worse than last time!

Zhao Tong reluctantly got off the couch. Just when he was fast asleep, the energy and blood of the sword suddenly exploded and tried to directly control his mind and body. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and woke up in time to suppress it with all his strength, so he was not taken away from control. right.

But the situation is not optimistic at the moment. The pain in his head is about to explode. All kinds of evil and wanton thoughts are coming and going. The blood in his body is boiling. He seems to have infinite strength and wants to go and kill.

He walked out of the room. He originally wanted to take a big gun and head into the woods behind him, but he didn't know that he didn't obey the command at all. He swayed a few times, went straight out of the courtyard, and then headed for the courtyard where Yuan Jing lived.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, he had knocked out the mother-in-law as he had done last time, sealed twenty-eight's acupuncture points, lifted the bead curtain, and walked into the bedroom swaggeringly.

There were candles burning here, and the red candles were flickering. Zhao Tong used the light to look at the couch, and he happened to meet two eyes like autumn water.

Yuan Jing was looking at him, his expression a little panicked and a little cold. Zhao Tong couldn't help but bared his teeth and showed a weird smile.

Yuan Jing bit her lip. She was not as flustered as last time. Instead, she was staring at Zhao Tong carefully. She wanted to identify whether Zhao Tong was possessed.

Although yes or no, it can't change the fact that the other party has bullied her, nor can it change her idea of ​​​​cutting this thief to pieces, but she still wants to know if the other party is really obsessed with it and can be released, whether it will be with her. related.

She originally thought that the other party was talking nonsense and humiliating her, but today when the other party came to ask about it, it didn't sound like it. This had to remind her of a martial art she had learned.

Could it have anything to do with that martial art? Yuan Jing drummed in her heart, it was a strange art, and it was because of this strange art that she entered the palace. It was also because of this strange art that she became the direct disciple of the Divine Bird Palace. The reason is that this strange art is not human. Anyone can practice it.

But I haven't heard that this strange art can also... have the effect of relieving obsession!

Zhao Tong came to the bed in a few steps at this time. Yuan Jing saw the red light flashing in his eyes. It was the delicate blood vessels hidden in the eyeballs that expanded and protruded, and then reflected the scene. This phenomenon cannot be faked, probably This will only happen if Qi and blood are retrograde and rioting.

Yuan Jing is a half-step great master. Although he is very young, his knowledge is incomparable. At this moment, he can see that something is wrong with Zhao Tong.

When she saw Zhao Tong coming, she hurriedly shrank back. She had gained some strength in the past few days. Although her martial arts skills had not recovered, her body became more agile.

Zhao Tong saw her running away and showed a cruel smile. Then he pounced on the food like a hungry tiger and jumped directly onto the couch.

The couch was against the wall. Yuan Jing immediately rolled to the wall, and then looked at Zhao Tong again. He saw that his breathing was thunderous and his expression was charming. It was very different from the daytime. She couldn't help but secretly believe that the other party was really angry. Obsessed.

Seeing that the pounce failed, Zhao Tong showed a strange smile, reached in and grabbed one of Yuan Jing's arms. Yuan Jing immediately shouted: "Zhao Tong, I, I know the reason why you quit and went crazy."

Zhao Tong turned a deaf ear and stretched out his hand to pull her over. Yuan Jing was shocked: "You, let me go and I'll tell you why."

Zhao Tong was not willing to listen, and with a gentle tug, a cracking sound of "stabbing" came out...

For a long time, Zhao Tong lay on the couch, staring blankly at the roof without saying a word.

Yuan Jing next to him also stared at him blankly.

After a while, Zhao Tong moved his eyes back from the roof and looked at Yuan Jing.

Yuan Jing hugged the quilt and glared at each other.

Zhao Tong closed his eyes and fell into silence for a while, then slowly stood up, got dressed, walked to the middle of the floor, and sat down on a chair next to the table.

"Do you believe that I have really gone crazy this time?" he said slowly.

Yuan Jing looked at him without saying a word. This evil thief was indeed possessed, but this was not right after all. If it was because he knew how to humiliate his family that he could get out of the possessed state, then what about the first time?

Didn't he know this the first time he caught fire? Then why do you still want to bully me? It is clearly the nature of an animal and the foundation of a thief!

When Zhao Tong saw that she was silent, he sighed and walked out the door. At this time, Yuan Jing suddenly said: "Don't you want to know the reason why you quit and become possessed..."

"Huh?" Zhao Tong turned around after hearing this, thought for a while, his voice was a little lonely and boring: "We can talk about it during the day..."

Yuan Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this. Isn't that why you asked? Why don't you want to hear it now and want to talk about it during the day?

This evil thief said before that he would let her go if he found the reason, and now he is saying this, isn't he planning to go back on his word?
