Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 451: All parties gather

"How did you enter Yunmengze?" Ziyou asked.

"Wu'an Jun set up a large formation in Dangyang, preparing for a decisive battle with Xiang Yan. Xiong Qi mobilized most of the Yingdu garrison to support him, and Yunmengze's garrison also mobilized part of it." Luowang Killer said.

"Where are the fishing villages where the descendants of the Gods gather?" Ziyou asked again.

"Half a month ago, when Xiong Qi sent people to blockade Yunmengze, these people thought they were coming to arrest them, so they clashed with the soldiers of Puppet Chu. In the end, they were outnumbered and most of them were killed and injured, and they escaped. Our people are here Follow." Di San continued.

"Well, go and call the person who is currently in charge of Yingdu." Ziyou said. The third-level earth level is too low, and the information he knows is only superficial, which makes it impossible for Ziyou to deduce what the current situation has become. situation.

"promise!"

Di San left Huafang and returned to his boat. He punted towards the shore. After landing, he quickly spread the news that Zi Yu had returned. Those who received the news used the fastest time to spread the news. The news gradually spread until it reached the hands of Hun Zhu in Yingdu.

When Hun Zhu saw the news about Zi You's return, he handed over the news sent by Guo Kai and the news found by Zi You to a killer and asked him to go to Xianyang. Hunzhu himself followed Di San to Yunmengze to see Ziyu.

Half an hour later.

Hunzhu stood in front of Ziyou and was giving him information about this period of time.

"Now, Lord Wu An is leading an army of 150,000 to fight Xiang Yan in Dangyang, and Xiang Yan has an army of 200,000 in his hands. Because he wants to fight Lord Wu An, Xiang Yan does not dare to rely on his troops. It can be said that the entire Dangyang is gathering. He captured 80% of the most elite forces of the Puppet Chu State.

The second army led by General Wang Jian had already passed Zengxi, bypassed Baishan Mountain, and attacked Tangcheng directly. The Puppet Chu State has an army of 50,000 in Tang City, and Xiang Liang, the son of Xiang Yan, is in charge. General Wang Jian is still on the road and has not fought with Xiang Liang in Tang City. "Hunzhu said.

Ziyou looked at the map in front of him and nodded. Whether it was Dangyang or Tangcheng, it could be said that these two places were the major gateways of the Puppet Chu Kingdom. As long as one of them was broken through, they could enter from a long distance. Dangyang is the north gate of Yingdu. As long as Dangyang is conquered, there will be no city to defend. Although Tangcheng is some distance from Yingdu, if you occupy Tangcheng, you can go down the river. First capture Suicheng, then go to Gong'anlu, and finally go down the river to reach Yunmengze. When you reach Yunmengze, you can reach it. Yingdu is not far away.

The strategy of attacking the puppet Chu State can be said to be perfect. The people leading the troops were Li Mu and Wang Jian, one of the strongest military strategists in the world, so Zi You was not worried about the war.

"Where is Xiling City? According to Lord Wu'an's strategy, Xiling City should also send troops, and His Royal Highness is now in Xiling City. What is the situation in Xiling City?" Ziyou asked.

"Xiling City is very safe now. After General Wang Jian delivered Zeng Xi, all 30,000 of Zeng Xi's elite troops have already gone to Xiling City. They have arrived at Xiling City today. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already discussed with Li Yuan. In the name of the King of Chu, Yuan asked the prince to take over the troops of the Chu State, and he appointed Yang Duanhe as the commander, forming a third army. Now he has gone south to prepare to cross Dongting, attack the Jiangnan area, and seize the grain and grass of the puppet Chu State. Cut off their retreat." Hun Zhu said.

After learning that there was someone protecting Fusu, Ziyou didn't ask any more questions, but asked

"You said Xiong Qi asked Guo Kai to launch a rebellion in Zhao. How is the contact between Guo Kai and the old nobles in Zhao?"

"Except for a few old nobles, other old nobles of the Zhao Kingdom immediately reported these messengers to the local government. We also secretly detained these people according to the king's order without making any announcement. And agreed to The Jiugui Luowen who rebelled in the Zhao area also sent people to keep an eye on them. As long as they make any move, Luowen will notify the local defenders to nip the danger in the bud," Hun Zhu said.

"It seems appropriate to let Ziping and Li Xin guard Zhao Di." Ziyou smiled.

The reason why the old nobles of Zhao were so honest was not that they completely surrendered to Qin, but that they were scared by Li Xin and Chen Ping and did not dare to rebel. When Korea was destroyed, most of the Korean dignitaries were wiped out in the chaos, while those in Wei were used as a pilot for the tomb system, and most of the dignitaries were also eliminated. Because these things were within the rules that everyone acquiesced to, other powerful people didn't feel much.

The dignitaries of the Yan State were different. They were really massacred by Chen Ping and Li Xin, and no one was left. It was precisely because Chen Ping and Li Xin directly used the butcher's knife that the old nobles of the Zhao State understood that no one was left. If you are honest, you will really be massacred by the whole family. Even if someone escapes, there will be a snare to hunt him down. In addition, in order to stabilize the people of Zhao State, Qin State did not take action against them for the time being and continued to let them enjoy power locally, so they reported it as soon as possible instead of participating in it.

"Let them be proud for a few more days, and when the affairs of Chu State are over, these domineering people should pay the price." Ziyou picked up a pen and drew a circle in Zhao Di and said.

"Guo Kai provided us with important information. Zhang Liang left the Chu Kingdom three years ago. No one knows his whereabouts. At the same time, there were thousands of knights and aides that Xiong Qi had snagged." Hun Zhu said. .

"Is there any news from Luo Wang?" Ziyou asked. After Xiong Qi proclaimed himself king, Ziyou asked Luo Wang to keep an eye on Yingdu, especially Zhang Liang.

"According to Luowang's information, Zhang Liang was last seen in Changsha, south of the Puppet Chu Kingdom. However, after we investigated clearly, we found out that this person was just a stand-in. The real Zhang Liang has long been lost, but half a year ago, We found some of the Zhang family who fled from South Korea in Qi State.

We reported this matter to Xianyang, and Marquis Wenxin asked us not to alert the enemy, saying that Zhang Liang could be fished out by keeping the Zhang family alive. "Hunzhu said.

"Well, continue to keep an eye on them. Since Zhang Liang has disappeared in the world, he must take action. According to his character, what he wants to do will definitely not be small, so he must need manpower, and Zhang Liang's most trustworthy People must be members of the Zhang clan, so it is right to keep an eye on the Zhang clan. But this all depends on Zhang Liang not discovering that we discovered the Zhang clan." Ziyou nodded and said

"Remove all the people who are staring at the Zhang clan, and find a way to integrate the people in the Zhang clan into the Zhang clan and infiltrate them."

"No!" Hun Zhu said.

"Is there any other news?" Ziyou asked.

"News came from Baiyue. Tianze returned to Baiyue and found the exorcist." Hun Zhu said.

"Tianze has returned to Baiyue? Why is he looking for the Exorcist Demon?" Ziyou asked with a frown. The Exorcist Demon is an important flag that Ziyou buried in Baiyue, taking advantage of the position of the Hidden Witch lineage in Baiyue. Secretly integrate Baiyue's power to prepare for taking over Baiyue in the future.

"The Exorcist said that Tianze wanted to talk to his husband about what happened outside Xinzheng City." Hun Zhu said.

"I see." Ziyou's brows relaxed. "It seems that he has thought about it. Since he has this intention, let the exorcist cooperate with him. At the same time, he sent someone to watch him. If Tianze has If you have any other thoughts, you can take action directly.”

"promise."

Outside Xinzheng City, what Ziyou and Tianze were talking about was to bridge the gap between Baiyue and Zhongyuan and make them one family again. It was also because of this that Ziyou let Tianze go in the first place. Baiyue was hostile to outsiders. If he wanted to capture Baiyue at the lowest cost and make Baiyue return, he must have someone trustworthy from Baiyue to lead them and let them accept Qin's rule. rule.

Ziyou chose Tianze before, but now Ziyou has a more suitable candidate, and that is Yan Lingji. Yan Lingji is now the purest Jiuli bloodline, and she is the flame saint of Baiyue. With the propaganda of the Exorcist Hidden Witch lineage, she can integrate Baiyue in terms of belief. As for Tianze returning to Baiyue now, Ziyou thinks this is a good thing. If Tianze really wants to change the current lives of Baiyue people and make them live a better life, this will not harm Ziyou's plan. . Although the leaders of various tribes in Baiyue have no favorable impressions of Tianze, Tianze, the red-browed snake king, still has a high status in the hearts of Baiyue people.

"Sir, the king previously ordered that if any trace of you is found, you will be asked to return to Xianyang immediately after finding you." Hun Zhu said.

"Well, I'm very relieved about the affairs of the Chu State. I'm not needed here. I will return to Xianyang soon." Ziyou said, what is left in the Chu State is the war, and the war involves Li Mu and Wang Jian. , he couldn't help either.

"Yes."

After everything was explained, Huafang also docked.

After getting off the Huafang, Ziyou took six people and two animals to an inn to eat something, and then set off on the road back to Xianyang.

Outside Dangyang City, the Qin Army's camps are endless, surrounding the entire Dangyang City. The black black bird flag is flying, and the thick black camp is like a dark cloud pressing on the hearts of everyone in Dangyang City. The 200,000 Chu troops in the city were so depressed that they couldn't breathe.

In the camp of the Qin army commander.

Li Mu was sitting on the commander's seat, surrounded by a group of generals and lieutenants of the Qin army. They were talking about their own methods of attacking Dangyang City around the map. Suddenly, a messenger broke into the camp holding two boxes, saluted Li Mu and said

"Commander, intelligence came from Xiling. General Yang Duan and General Yang have set off with 80,000 Chu troops. His Royal Highness is now safe. Under the protection of 30,000 elite Qin troops, he is stationed in Xiling. The eldest son of Xiang Yan, Xiang Qu, who attacked Xiling City , Xiang Yan's military commander Fan Zeng was also beheaded, and their heads were also sent together."

Hearing the words of the messenger, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked shocked. The relief of Xiling City and the attack by Yang Duanhe on Jiangnan were all expected, but the killing of Xiang Qu and Fan Zeng was beyond everyone's expectations.

Xiang Qu, Xiang Yan's eldest son and the young master of the Xiang clan. This is Xiang Yan's most valued son, and he has been appointed as his successor. Fan Zeng, Xiang Yan's most important aide, and Xiang Yan were both teachers and friends. His status in the Xiang family was comparable to that of Xiang Yan, and he was also very prestigious among the puppet Chu army. Both of these two people were killed, which was a huge opportunity to damage the morale of the Dangyang City army.

"Where are the heads?" Li Mu asked calmly.

The orderly soldier opened the box and took out the two embalmed heads. The heads of Xiang Qu and Fan Zeng were still lifelike without any corrosion.

"I'm afraid Xiang Yan is still waiting for the news from Xiling City. Someone will spread the news and let Dangyang City know the good news." Li Mu said with a smile.

"promise!"

Just when many people in the military tent were laughing, Meng Wu walked in. Seeing everyone laughing, he was a little confused. After the people on the side explained to him, Meng Wu also laughed. After laughing, Meng Wu did not forget the important things.

"Commander, I just took people to call for formation in front of Dangyang City. Xiang Yan is still unable to get out, but our spies found the movement of troops on the west side of Dangyang City." Meng Wu said.

"West side? Where?" Li Mu came to the map and asked.

The other generals and captains also moved their positions in front of the map, giving Li Mu and Meng Wu a place to stand.

"It's in the direction from Dangyang City to Neifang Mountain." Meng Wu pointed at the map and said.

"Neifang Mountain?" Li Mu frowned as he looked at the position of Neifang Mountain.

Neifang Mountain is located to the east of Dangyang, beside the Han River, and behind it is Jingling City. It can be said that Neifang Mountain has nothing to do with the current situation of Dangyang City. Facing the 150,000 Qin army, Xiang Yan actually divided his troops and headed to Neifang Mountain. This made Li Mu confused for a while what Xiang Yan was going to do.

Li Mu took another look at the position of Ganyu's mouth and asked

"Is there any information coming from Ganyukou?"

"Commander, no, everything is normal in Ganyukou." A captain said with his hands in hand.

"That's strange. What else can Neifangshan do besides preventing Ganyukou's army from flowing down the river?" Li Mu said looking at Neifangshan.

Of course, the Qin army also had naval forces, but this time Li Mu's army did not prepare a naval army, because Li Mu's army was to attract Xiang Yan's attention and buy time for Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe, and the naval forces were also there. Wang Jian's subordinates.

"That's all, don't think about this for the time being. Let's spread the news about Xiang Qu and Fan Zeng's death first." Li Mu couldn't see through and had no choice but to put the matter down.

"promise."

In Dangyang City, Xiang Yan was also studying the map, trying to find a way to break the situation. It's just that compared to the many people in the Qin army camp studying the battle situation together, there are very few people around Xiang Yan.

Suddenly, the noise outside attracted Xiang Yan's attention.

"What happened outside?" Xiang Yan asked.

The other generals shook their heads and expressed ignorance. A messenger came in and delivered a piece of information to Xiang Yan.

"Da Sima, this is the information our spies have detected."

The messenger's face was a little ugly, and he was hesitant in his words. This made the surrounding generals and Xiang Yan feel a little abnormal. Xiang Yan hurriedly opened the intelligence and read it. After seeing the contents of the intelligence, he was stunned. Then he looked at the messenger with a gloomy face and said

"Where did this information come from?"
