The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 277
After some repairs, the energetic two set off again, continuing to the Jianghuai in the southwest direction.

When leaving Xingyang, Shi Qingxuan casually asked about the current situation of the two warring parties——

"Mr. Shen thinks, who will win the battle between Li Mi's Wagang Army and the imperial court?"

Shen Youzhi pondered for a while, showing a look of thought.

"In my opinion, Li Mi will win this battle."

"The Wagang Army has occupied the counties and counties around Xingyang, and has stabilized the basic situation. Compared with the imperial soldiers and horses that Lao Shi went on an expedition, it can be said that they are waiting for work at leisure."

"Secondly, although the imperial court sent three groups of troops to attack the Wagang army, the imperial court at this time is no longer the imperial court when Emperor Wen Yang Jian was in power."

"The internal struggle of various forces has already entered a fierce stage, and there are many factions in the military, and they are on guard against each other."

"Thus, although the three armies seem to form a double-team trend, they will never cooperate with each other."

"As long as Li concentrates his troops and defeats one of the troops, the other two will never dare to act rashly even if they don't flee."

Although Shi Qingxuan has not dabbled in the art of war, Shen Youzhi's analysis is based on the situation, and does not involve specific military games. Anyone who listens to it can fully understand the current battle situation.

She silently thought in her heart: According to what Mr. Shen said, when Li Mi defeats the allied forces of the imperial court and returns triumphantly, Zhai Rang, the "big leader" who is in Xingyang, will be in danger.

Thinking of the Shen Luoyan who appeared before, as a military adviser, but not by Li Mi's side at this moment, he was probably preparing for the fire merger.

Ugh!
Shi Qingxuan sighed in her heart:
The turmoil in the world is nothing more than the word "fame and fortune", which is really annoying.

She doesn't understand why people in the world of mortals are always obsessed with fame and fortune, and their desires are always unsatisfied.

Obviously, the treasures that nature has given to human beings are immeasurable, and it is impossible to comprehend them all in a mortal life.

There is such a huge treasure by your side, but you don't know how to cherish it. Instead, you have to go all out to pursue those illusory things, which is really incomprehensible.

Although Shi Qingxuan is the daughter of the "Evil King", she has been taught by Bi Xiuxin, the Holy Maiden of Jingzhai since she was a child, and the thought of "being born" has long been integrated into her spirit.

"All promising methods are just dreams and bubbles, only one's heart is self-sufficient." Shi Qingxuan sighed softly.

Shen Youzhi also nodded slightly, saying:

"Heaven and earth are one treasure house, and the human body is another treasure house."

"If you can open these two treasure houses and know the mysteries of nature, the mere fame and fortune in the world of mortals is not worth mentioning at all."

"However, all living beings are obsessed, and seek far away instead of near. There is such a sacred treasure around them that they will not dig and develop it."

Hearing this, Shi Qingxuan's beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled.

It was also the first time she met a person who could match her thoughts to a high degree.

Inadvertently, she looked at Shen Youzhi with a little more appreciation in her eyes.

"A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall." Shen Youzhi said to himself: "This is a place of right and wrong, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time."

"Let's leave as soon as possible!"

Shi Qingxuan nodded lightly and said no more.

in a few days

The day is dark and the mist is misty.

Between the barren mountains and old forests, the two blurred figures changed rapidly, and it was difficult to catch other traces except for the slight "rustle".

tread--

With a soft sound, her skirt touched the ground, and Shi Qingxuan, who walked out of the dense forest, looked at the open emerald green plain in front of her, feeling very comfortable.

"Further forward is the Huai River waterway. When you get there, you can turn to the waterway and enter the Yangtze River, and then go directly to Sichuan and Shu."

Shen Youzhi's smooth and watery voice came slowly from behind.

Shi Qingxuan also nodded, recalling this journey, especially the few days when he passed through Luoyang, he felt a little satisfied.

"Shencheng is ahead, let's go there and have a look first." Shi Qingxuan said softly.

Shen Youzhi looked far and wide, looked at the city gate under the morning light, and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the two performed lightness kung fu again and disappeared into the cold mist of the morning.

Shencheng is located at the junction of the three provinces of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and strangles the Jianghuai River, so it is really an important place for military strategists.

At this very moment, it is the Jianghuai Army with the largest number of people, the most extensive territory, and the most powerful force among the rebels occupying this important military location.

The composition of the Jianghuai Army is quite complicated. It includes not only the soldiers and horses of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou when they rose to power, but also the imperial army who was defeated and captured, and the young men who were captured by villages and towns from all over the country.

Therefore, although the Jianghuai Army has great momentum, its morale is not stable, and its combat effectiveness is also very different.

Just looking at the sergeants guarding Shencheng at present, one can see that there are mixed fish and dragons inside, and the military discipline is lax, which is really embarrassing.

In order to avoid the Jianghuai bandits from interrogating and making things difficult, Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan did not go directly through the city gate, but climbed over the city wall with light work and went straight into the inner city.

As soon as they entered the city, the two felt that the place was dilapidated, and it was obvious that they had experienced a lot of turmoil.

In the huge town, apart from the sergeants patrolling the streets, there were basically no other people.

Most of the shops, hostels, inns and other places on both sides of the street are also closed, and those who open occasionally are empty and few people patronize.

Walking on the street, the deserted and depressing atmosphere hits the face, making people unconsciously cautious in words and deeds, without squinting, and just want to run away quickly.

After careful observation, it is not difficult to find traces of knives and swords on the surrounding buildings, and even the scorched black after the fire and smoke.

Needless to say, all the shops in this city must have been looted, so every family closed their doors and went out of business, unable to sustain themselves.

This is also the nature of the Jianghuai army. Whenever they go to a place, they must first plunder money and food, and they never plan to operate for a long time.

As the leader of the Jianghuai Army, Du Fuwei, although he is good at martial arts and has a strong wrist, his forces are expanding too fast and the number of personnel is too large, so he cannot be fully restrained for a while.

This created the name of the "bandit soldiers" of the Jianghuai Army.

Seeing the desolate scene in the city, Shi Qingxuan finally understood Shen Youzhi's evaluation of Jianghuai Army's "difficult to become an atmosphere".

Such behavior is no different from bandits and bandits, how can it not arouse public resentment?
On the tall building, Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan stood side by side, overlooking the whole city, feeling more and more that the people's livelihood is withered and all industries are ruined.

"Shen Luoyan is right. The Huai River waterway is indeed completely controlled by the Jianghuai Army."

Seeing the heavy soldiers guarding both sides of the river and the thick iron chains stretching across the river, Shi Qingxuan could only sigh helplessly.

Beside her, the divine light in Shen Youzhi's eyes flowed, and his sight passed through the barriers of many tall buildings, reaching several miles away.

Immediately, a tall figure with a high crown on his head, about fifty years old, and an ancient and clumsy face came into his eyes.

This person is the leader of the Jianghuai Army, the most prestigious Du Fuwei among the rebels.

After finding the target, Shen Youzhi opened and closed his lips slightly, using the technique of sound transmission for thousands of miles, to transmit his words into Du Fuwei's ears.

Although the two sides were several miles apart, the voice came instantly.

Du Fuwei, surrounded by all the troops, suddenly heard the cold voice ringing in his ears, and his hairs stood on end!
