Chapter 397 Convincing Gu Jiantang

The first year of Xiangfu, autumn
Western Chu raised the power of the whole country, divided its troops into three groups, and a total of 50 troops attacked Liyang.

On the West Road, Xie Xizhen attacked Xiangfan. At that time, Lu Xu, the chief counselor under Zhao Xun, King Jingan who was in Xiangfan, disappeared for no reason.

King Jing'an's army had no one to coordinate and plan, and Xie Xizhen defeated them one by one. After another seven days, Xiangfan City was conquered, and King Jing'an Zhao Xun fled in a hurry.

On the east road, Cao Changqing led Yao Jian and Ye Xizhen to defeat Song Li's Guangling Navy at Bailu Lake.

Together with Kou Jianghuai in the middle, they forced Lu Shengxiang's rebel army.

The two sides fought decisively outside Wuling City. Lu Shengxiang was worthy of being a military general who was killed in the Spring and Autumn War, and he saw the reality of many recruits in the Western Chu army.

They sent elite cavalry to attack the Central Army of Western Chu, but fortunately the Daxue Dragon Cavalry led by Ye Xizhen stopped them.

There was a cover-up on both sides. At the critical moment, Liyang's factions belonging to the Wu Family Jianzhong and Dongyue Jianchi defected in the face of the battle.

In addition, the Zhulu Mountain Demon Sect affiliated to the Western Chu Fang, the Jiangdong Xuanyuan family, and the masters of the Southern Border Dao Dragon Palace came with full assistance.

The Liyang army on the side battlefield was almost unilaterally smashed through.

Xie Xiqiao's Western Army marched all the way down the river. The two sides worked together to capture Tang and Song County, Xiongbao County and Jiangxin County successively, taking over Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

The army of Western Chu was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and they all took Guangling Road and most of Jiangnan Road, and then hurriedly selected [-] elite troops to go northward and directly capture Tai'an City.

Lu Shengxiang was extremely decisive, and directly gave up the Jiangnan Road, which was almost impossible to defend, and retreated to Dantong Pass.

In just a few months, the battle situation in the Central Plains was once again reversed. With the momentum of snakes swallowing elephants, Xichu pushed towards Liyang and aspired to be the Lord of the World!

At this time of national crisis, the new emperor of Liyang, Zhao Zhuan, summoned the world and entered the capital to be King Qin.

And Gu Jiantang, who sits in the northern states and monitors the battle between Beimang and Beiliang, has become the last straw for the Liyang court.

In the land of Liangliao, there is a dumpling shop that can be seen almost everywhere on the avenue.

A burly middle-aged man with a knife on his waist was eating dumplings by the side of the stall.

At this moment, two women wearing bamboo hats but unable to hide their graceful figures came to the dumpling shop and asked, "Can I sit here?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the two women and said, "Anything you want."

So Huyan Guanyin and Nangong Pushe sat on the chairs next to Gu Jiantang.

Gu Jiantang took a bite of the dumplings and said casually: "You two don't look like we're on the same road, right?"

"General Gu's eyes are as bright as a torch. I am from Western Chu, and she is from Beiliang."

Huyan Guanyin said: "However, although we are not on the same road, we are here for one thing."

"Do you want me to remain neutral when you take action, or do you want me to help you capture Tai'an City?" Gu Jiantang said with a half-smile.

As soon as he said this, if the loyal and good generals in the Liyang court heard it, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Because in everyone's impression, this great swordsman who pacified the Spring and Autumn Kingdom was actually a very low-key person.

Since he stayed in the capital as Minister of the Ministry of War, he scattered the old Ministry to various places in Liyang in one go. On the surface, he was No. 1 in the Ministry of War, but in fact he completely gave up his military power.

When he was serving as the Minister of War in Tai'an City, it was clear that he and Zhang Julu could form a confrontation between civil and military forces, but it was always said that Biyaner had power over the government, and there was no such thing as Gu Jiantang covering the sky with one hand.

As one of the ten martial arts critics in the past, the master of swordsmanship, he never cared about his ranking.For more than ten years, except for Cao Changqing and Jiang Si's joint intrusion into Tai'an City in the first year of Xiangfu, Gu Jiantang used Fang Cun Lei to stop him as Liyang military official, there was no news of Gu Jiantang taking the initiative to fight anyone.

In the past 20 years, Gu Jiantang has stood firm in Liyang Chaotang, but no one has questioned the loyalty of this meritorious general.

The former emperor Zhao Dun did not, the new emperor Zhao Zhuan did not, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty did not. In the eyes of the court officials in Liyang, this veteran Minister of the Ministry of War is not only the best candidate to fight against Beiliang's iron cavalry, but also the biggest backbone of Liyang. It is said that the silent Gu Jiantang is the greatest confidence of the Liyang court.

But today, at the critical moment when Western Chu sent troops to Liyang and the Liyang Dynasty was in dire straits, the only big pillar country of the Liyang Dynasty said something to help outsiders break through Tai'an City.

Nangong Pushe didn't understand Gu Jiantang's thoughts, and she didn't want to understand. This time she came here just as a knife, a knife to intimidate Gu Jiantang!

The person who really represents the two major forces of Western Chu and Northern Liang is actually Lu Yuan's confidante, Huyan Guanyin.

"General Gu speaks quickly, so I won't hide it anymore."

Huyan Guanyin laughed lightly and said: "My main force invited General Gu to personally lead the two Liao armies after the Great Chu annexed Liyang, cut off the connection between the Northern Mang and the Southern Dynasties and Beiting, and cooperate with Beiliang's 30 cavalry to annihilate Bei Mang in one fell swoop. 50 troops."

After hearing this sentence, Gu Jiantang put down the chopsticks in his hand, laughed dumbly and said, "Is this Xu Fengnian's plan, or Cao Changqing's idea?"

"This is the grand plan that Xu Xiao, the former king of Northern Liang, and my husband made to calm the world and unify the country." Huyan Guanyin said seriously.

"Your husband, may I ask who is it?" Gu Jiantang said.

"My husband's name is Lu Yuan!" Huyan Guanyin smiled.

"'Holy Saint' Lu Yuan! So that's the case, you guys are hiding deep enough!"

Gu Jiantang took a deep breath, Lu Yuan, Xichu, Beiliang, one after another major events flashed through his mind.

At any rate, he was a famous spring and autumn general who once pacified the two countries, and Gu Jiantang immediately grasped the key.

Lu Yuan is the one who promotes the world in the snow and the war to unify the world, the driving force behind the scenes!

When the Beimang and Liyang dynasties still set their sights on the square inch, this sage in the world, the No. 1 martial artist in the world, has long since fallen into the world, and now he is about to end his official career!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiantang continued to eat calmly, and after he swallowed five dumplings in one go, he continued: "Tell me about these plans so early, aren't you afraid that I will turn my face against you?"

"My husband once said that the general trend of the world is vast and vast. If you follow it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish."

Huyan Guanyin restrained his smile and said: "General Gu is a smart man, he should know how to choose."

"What if I choose the one in Tai'an City?" Gu Jiantang asked with a half-smile.

"So, it's time for my sister to talk to the general." Huyan Guanyin said.

Nangong Pushe remained calm, looking like a master from Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.

"Forgive me for my stupid eyes, who are you?"

Huyan Avalokitesvara once had a record against Han Diaosi, a single-killing cat, and Gu Jiantang had also heard about it.

But Nangong Pushe?He could only tell that this woman was a swordsman, but he knew nothing else.

"Beiliang swordsman, Nangong Pushe." Nangong Pushe spat out a few words.

The eyes of the two people met in mid-air, and under the induction of Qi, both sides discovered that the other party was the enemy of each other!

"Shh!"

The next moment, both sides drew their swords at the same time, and drew their swords away!Gu Jiantang's saber is stable enough, and Nangong Pu's saber is fast enough!
"I never thought there would be a great sword master like Miss Nangong in Beiliang."

Gu Jiantang said: "Since that's the case, let's make a deal!"

The Western Chu Liyang War has been fought to this day, but the battle situation has surprised the people of the world. Liyang has been defeated one after another, and now it can only stick to the Dantong Pass.

The Western Chu army was so powerful that it had already occupied a large area of ​​Guangling Road and Jiangnan Road.

However, the new emperor of Liyang, Zhao Zhuan, the most anticipated savior, and the general Gu Jiantang who was in charge of the two Liaos, stood still at this moment, sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.

As a result, the Liyang Dynasty's war situation almost took a turn for the worse.
