Chapter 504 507 Core
Song Que's expression was better than before, sitting on horseback he was more majestic and calm than in Grinding Sword Hall, Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan dared to swear that he had never seen anyone with such a relaxed demeanor on the battlefield.He is dressed in mud yellow light armor and a plain white cloak, blowing in the wind, he has a majestic posture overlooking the world.

Song Que didn't wear a helmet, but tied a red cloth belt on his forehead. The ends of the belt hung down to his shoulder blades. His handsome and scholarly face contained a trace of affectionate and gentle joy. The world-famous Heavenly Sword hung on the On the back, the handle of the sword protrudes obliquely from the right shoulder, and the demeanor riding the horse is like a god descending into the world.

Among the generals surrounding him, there were three people with unique appearances. They could be seen at a glance as the generals under Song Que's banner. Shen Mu recognized Ouyang Qian, the "pink in tiger clothes". When he met Song Que in Lingnan, he had secretly seen her .The other two generals are fat and thin, the fat one is shaped like a big bucket, and the armor on his body tightly wraps his fat that seems to be ripping out of his clothes, especially the bulging belly, which is the opposite of giving people agility and vitality. Feeling; the thin person is tall and strong, dressed as a scribe, with an unusually high forehead, sharp eyes, a small mustache, and a chic and good-looking appearance.Both are in their forties.

The others were all generals and soldiers of the Song family. Shen Mu knew Song Bang, who escorted Song Yuzhi to Chen Liu to meet him. Among the members of the Song family, there were dozens of people wearing general armor. It makes people feel that the Song family is strong and strong, and there are as many masters as clouds.

The two parties met on a hill, and they reined in their horses and stopped.

Song Que looked up to the sky and smiled, "Okay! Shen Mu, you have done a good job, and you have lived up to the old man's expectations of you."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "As long as the lord is one step late, the boy may return to the underworld, seeing the faces of the bull-headed and horse-faced big brothers as ghosts, and concentrate on flattering them."

Ouyang Qian couldn't help but smile coquettishly with a "puchi", her beautiful eyes drifted over, and she felt a bit out of shape, she lowered her head and smiled.

Song Que couldn't help laughing, his eyes shifted to Ba Fenghan, who raised his hand in salute and said: "Ba Fenghan sees the boss."

Song Que's eyes shot out a divine light that seemed to be able to see through Ba Fenghan, and then he showed a friendly smile and said, "I never thought that Empress Bi Xuan would have you, Ba Fenghan. No wonder the Turkic people can dominate the prairie."

Ba Fenghan smiled calmly and did not answer.

Then Song Que introduced the left and right generals to the two. The fat general was Wang Zhongxuan, the lord of Panyu, and the thin one was Chen Zhifo, the leader of Longshui's bureaucrats. With Ouyang Qian, the most famous and outstanding figures of the southern bureaucrats gathered together. this.

Apart from Song Bang among the generals of the Song family, Shen Mu was most impressed by the two young generals named Song Shuang and Song Faliang.

Song Que cast his eyes on the Tang army camp, and seemed to be able to observe the enemy's situation through the night as if it were day, and said calmly: "Li Shimin is waiting for the day to come, and he is looking forward to our aggressive attack, but how can the old man do what he wants?"

Ba Fenghan said in astonishment: "Does the lord not plan to take advantage of the situation to attack and let him withdraw from Yintan Mountain?"

Song Que smiled slightly, and said softly: "Feng Han knows why I chose to come to help before the first heavy snowfall, not when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year."

Ba Fenghan was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed: "Fenghan is dressed!"

Song Que looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Okay! He is indeed an outstanding person who will be my future son-in-law. Listen to me, everyone, and I won't repeat it again. From this moment on, the Song family army is the young commander. Just listen An order from the young marshal alone."

All the generals responded with a bang, and the atmosphere was hot.

Shen Mu said embarrassingly: "How did this happen? You are the old man..."

Song Que cut him off and said, "Don't be a mother-in-law! Why don't a man dare to do anything? In the future, the world will be unified, and it will be you, Shen Mu, not me, Song Que, who will be the emperor. You earned it with your own abilities." Then he smiled peacefully. Meaning, said: "If you wait for my half son, who will I support if the old man does not support you?"

Then he looked up at the sky and said: "Everyone thinks that the southerners are not good for the northern war, and that they can't stand the wind and snow. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, only the northerners can conquer the south, and no southerner has ever been able to conquer the north. Not only do I, Song Que, not believe in evil, I also want to use the wind and snow in the north to help the young general ascend to the throne of the emperor. I want to prove to the northerners that victory must belong to us."

Shen Mu was shocked, and he also showed a look of admiration like Ba Fenghan did before.

Song Que happily said: "The young commander understands!"

Shen Mu nodded and said: "The boy is stupid, I only understand now."

Song Que glanced at the crowd, and said calmly: "Li Shimin has to retreat, and he has to retreat to Luoyang, relying on the city to hold on. And this retreat, within three months, it is impossible to send troops south again, because the road is blocked by the wind and snow. You can sit and watch us mopping up his unstable strategic stronghold south of Luoyang. We will use these precious three months to take Xiangyang and Hanzhong first, and control Dajiang. When the spring blossoms next year, it will be the day we go north .”

Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: "If you want to attack Luoyang, Xiangyang is the place that must be contested. As for Hanzhong, why does the lord attach so much importance to it?"

Song Que's eyes shot out the unfathomable and wisdom-filled divine light, and said: "Hanzhong is a place where the situation is simple. The front controls the dangers of the six roads, and the back has the millet of Xichuan. The left is the wealth of Jingxiang, and the right is the horse of Qinlong." Anyone who wants to guard the north gate of Bashu must first protect Hanzhong. Xie Hui of Bashu didn't listen to his words very much, so I cut off his only connection with Li Tang, and taught Xie Hui not to dare to make any rash moves. Bashu is established, The great river is in our hands, how can Xiao Xian and his generation become kings and hegemons."

Shen Mu asked modestly, "What should we do after Li Shimin retreats?"

Song Que smiled and said: "Today we will go north with a large army, with a total strength of 3 people, [-] people will follow me, and the rest will stay in Pengliang to wait for orders. You, Uncle Lu, will be in charge of all the logistics supplies. And our strength lies in the navy. The fleet, combined with your flywheel warships, is not affected by the wind and snow, and it attacks key strategic towns on both sides of the waterway, even going straight into Bashu and capturing Hanzhong. The Young Commander's Army is yours, what do you say?"

Shen Mu understood what he heard, and replied loudly: "Understood! We will also retreat when Li Shimin retreats, but we will retreat to advance. We will return to Pengliang first to train and gather naval forces. When the storm comes, we will first take Jiangdu and then go against the river." And go up, destroy the auxiliary Gong Er, control Xiao Mi, and then divide the troops into two groups, one to attack Hanzhong, the other to capture Xiangyang, then Luoyang or Chang'an will be our choice."

Song Que laughed loudly and said, "Exactly."

Ba Fenghan sighed in admiration: "War is like a game of chess, the lord can change Li Tang's overwhelming advantage with a single move, and there is no need to move a single soldier. If I were Li Yuan, I would not be able to sleep peacefully every night from now on."

Song Que's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "What is Li Yuan? But Li Shimin is indeed a character, which made me almost miscalculate. Fortunately, Shen Mu did not disappoint the old man. Fenghan knows that Li Shimin has to chase and kill Shen Mu , was created by the old man alone."

Ba Fenghan and Shen Mu looked at each other in astonishment, and felt that Song Que was like a war magician, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

Song Que returned to absolute calmness, and said softly: "The old man's 20 years of hard work are not in vain. The situation of the world is all under my control, and I have kept nothing important from me. Li Shimin's execution of Dou Jiande is really the biggest mistake." This changed the situation in Hebei. Liu Hekai, the general of Jiande, once again led the army to fight against the Tang army. When we go north, Li Shimin will be at the disadvantage of being attacked by the north and the south. Li Yuan! It’s a good day for you to embrace left and right It’s been counted.”

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and there was only one cavalry unit of [-] people in the Tang army in the distance waiting in line, and the others quickly withdrew to the direction of Yintan Mountain.

In the open space next to the commander's tent, Shen Mu, Ba Fenghan, Ma Chang, Bai Wenyuan, Bing Yuanzhen, Chen Laomou, Wang Xuanshu, Xiao He'er, and Ba Yegang sat around the bonfire, enjoying the things made for them by their subordinates. The food feels like the rest of my life.

They didn't have to worry about safety at all, because the tents of Song Que's army were set up in all directions to protect them at the core.Only 250 young marshals were able to leave Tiancheng Gorge alive, and some of them were slightly injured. After another half day's journey, everyone was exhausted and desperately needed to rest.

Xiao He'er didn't live in Wang Xuanshu's ear to talk, Wang Xuanshu was a little embarrassed and had to concentrate on listening, everyone turned a blind eye to the witty deceit, and listened but didn't hear it.

The only one who didn't understand was Chen Laomou, who smiled strangely at Wang Xuanshu: "Little He'er changed back to women's clothes, she must be a very beautiful little girl, did you guess right?"

Wang Xuanshu's ears turned red immediately, and he coughed dryly, "I haven't seen it before."

Xiao He'er's face was obviously much thicker than Wang Xuanshu's, he cast a glance at Lao Mou, then leaned into Wang Xuanshu's ear and said something, which made Wang Xuanshu even more embarrassed.

Chen Laomou still refused to let them go, he laughed and said: "I overheard what Xiao He'er said."

Xiao He'er was not fooled by him, and said with a smile: "Chen Gong is talking nonsense, I don't believe you can hear it."

Chen Laomou said proudly: "My pair of ears are well-known in the world. What you said to Mr. Xuanshu just now is: I will put on women's clothes for you to see, okay?" The last sentence, he imitated Xiao He'er's girlish demeanor and tone exaggerated when she said it, immediately causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said: "It really is nonsense." After saying this, everyone knew that Ba Fenghan was the one who really overheard Xiao He'er talking in Wang Xuanshu's ear.

Chen Laomou was overjoyed and said, "What did she say? Hurry up and tell me in my ear."

Xiao He'er refused to say: "Brother Ba is not a good person."

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "No one has ever regarded me as a good person, and I don't want to be a good person. But I will make an exception on this matter and strictly keep the secret for you, little girl."

Warmth surged in Shen Mu's heart, comparing the Ba Fenghan when he first met with the Ba Fenghan in front of him, they are like two completely different people, the former is cruel, ruthless, no one will give in to anyone, The latter is a good brother who can risk his life for a friend.

Wang Xuanshu's face turned even redder, Xiao He'er gave Ba Fenghan a slight look of feigning shame, and then showed a joyful expression, innocent and lovely.

Chen Laomou was an old man, he laughed and said: "I guessed it! Just by looking at Xiaoshu's expression, you can tell that he has not only seen it, but also... Hey! Don't say it! I also made an exception to keep your secrets."

Wang Xuanshu couldn't resist, so he begged: "Grand Chen, please forgive me!"

Ba Fenghan suddenly said: "Everyone, I want to be separated from you for a while, and when we attack Luoyang, I will fight side by side with you."

Everyone was stunned, only Shen Mu nodded as if he knew it in advance: "Didn't you go back outside the Great Wall again? Then how can you come back in time?"

Ba Fenghan shook his head and said, "I will stay in the Central Plains for a while to pay off some old debts. If there is anything wrong with Ziling, I will even kill him."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Ziling must be fine, otherwise he would definitely come to me to complain."

Xiao He'er shuddered, obviously thinking about the fact that people will become ghosts after death.

Chen Laomou frowned and said, "What kind of debt does Xiaoba owe? You don't seem like someone who likes to gamble."

Ba Fenghan said indifferently: "What I owe is a debt of favor."

Shen Mu was puzzled and said, "A debt of favor?"

Ba Fenghan stood up with a long body, his eyes shot a complicated and incomprehensible look, and said: "The most difficult thing is to live up to the beauty, Mr. Xuanshu, please remember this. The little girl has a pair of rare long legs, and she dresses very well. moving."

Everyone knew that he left as soon as he said, so he stood up quickly.

Shen Mu grabbed Ba Fenghan's thick arm and said, "You guys continue to chat, and I will send Lao Ba a ride on behalf of you."

After saying that, he let go and walked out of the camp side by side with Ba Fenghan. Passing by the camp of the Song family army, all the soldiers of the Song family paid respect respectfully, showing their admiration and respect for the two of them.

When he came to a hilltop near the camp, Shen Mu smiled and said, "I will not attack Luoyang. Brother, when you hear that I have captured the day of Hanzhong, you must come and join us immediately, otherwise you will miss the wonderful event in Chang'an City." street fighting."

Ba Fenghan stood still and said in astonishment: "You are planning to directly attack Chang'an? Why do you have the guts?"

Shen Mu's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "The answer is Duke Yang's treasury. You know that Yang Su built the treasury back then to subvert the Sui Dynasty in an emergency. Now that Li Tang has replaced it, its function has not changed. There are not only a large number of weapons, but also a tunnel network that runs through the city. To me, Chang’an is like an undefended city. When Li Yuan was still on his dragon bed with Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu in his arms, looking for a good dream, Our people have occupied all the important strongholds in the city and opened all the city gates, I am sure of this battle and will definitely win."

Ba Fenghan was moved and said, "Does Song Que know about this?"

Shen Mu said: "There are so many people, I haven't had the opportunity to report to his old man yet."

Ba Fenghan said: "Apart from Ziling, who else knows the secret of Duke Yang's treasury?"

Shen Mu scratched his head and said, "They are all brothers from the Ssangyong Gang who have followed me for many years and would never betray me. But I have been to the treasure house, but I am confident that she will not betray me."

Ba Fenghan frowned and said, "You actually trust Houhou?"

Shen Mu patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Of course I trust her. Because she has a real affection for Ziling, she would harm Ziling if she hurt me, not to mention that she doesn't care about the Demon Sect anymore, so what's the benefit of going against me?"

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "If the tunnel is blocked by someone, you can retreat back to Hanzhong, and hunt down and kill Houhou in the remotest corners of the world."

Shen Mu shook his head and said: "This kind of situation will never happen, but my brother hasn't told me what debt of favor I have to repay."

Ba Fenghan said relaxedly: "I want to kill and live up to, this is what I promised Wanjing."

Shen Mu was stunned and said, "Princess Dongming! She's married to that narrow-minded bastard Shang Ming, damn it, a flower stuck on cow dung."

Ba Fenghan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Stop talking too much, unsatisfactory things happen all the time in life, we have fewer unsatisfactory things than others, at least we are still living well. Take care, brother." After saying that, he left.

Shen Mu stared blankly at Ba Fenghan's retreating back, Song Yuzhi's beautiful face appeared in his heart, and a strong impulse surged up, he turned his head and swept towards Song Que's tent.

Song Que's tent was very elegant, as spacious and open as a small hall, covered with carpets embroidered with the Phoenix flag, and in one corner of the tent were two sour branch chairs, separated by a coffee table.

Song Que sat leisurely on one of the grand teacher's chairs, holding a teacup in his hand, tasting the fragrant tea. Seeing Shen Mu's visit, he motioned for him to sit down on the other chair, poured tea for him himself, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go to bed early, tomorrow When you arrive in Chenliu, you will be too busy to breathe."

Shen Mu took the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and said absent-mindedly: "The boy just sent Ba Fenghan away, this is his usual way of doing things, come and go as soon as he says, like a leopard walking alone on the grassland , do not like group life."

Song Que didn't show any displeasure because of Ba Fenghan's refusal to say goodbye, instead he said happily: "Although I am the leader of the Song Clan, what I rejoice and miss in my heart is still the feeling of being alone. Does the young commander have anything to say? Want to say?"

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "I feel very painful."

Song Que was slightly astonished, then laughed dumbfoundedly, and said emotionally: "Who in the world has no burden and pain in his heart, even the most strong and optimistic people will regret certain past actions, and hope that history can be repeated. Give him another chance to change, but unfortunately this will never be possible, life is like this, time is absolutely ruthless."

Shen Mu asked in surprise: "There are painful emotions in the heart of the boss?"

Song Que's handsome face revealed a trace of bitterness, and he said softly: "Since the nature of life is like this, how can I, Song Que, be spared? So if you can set lofty ideals and goals for yourself, you will have the courage to work hard. The general direction, all other things are put aside as much as possible, which will make life easier."

Shen Mu felt that the distance between him and this high-ranking giant of martial arts had been shortened a lot, and he expressed his inner feelings frankly, saying: "When the two armies are facing each other on the battlefield, I can indeed advance to the sword, and there is nothing else. I only hate that once I put down the sword and gun, my wild thoughts will suddenly attack, and I can't help it."

Song Que returned to his usual calmness, looked at him with deep and unfathomable eyes, and said lightly, "Speak out what's on your mind!"

Shen Mu said painfully: "Zhi Zhi refuses to forgive my behavior! Sigh! How can I say it? She doesn't want to marry me, she..."

Song Que raised his hand to cut off his words, and said with a single sword, "Do you have any other women?"

Shen Mu didn't expect him to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "If you say no, you are deceiving the boss, but I have always persisted and never betrayed Zhizhi. I really love Zhizhi deeply, and I don't want to Hurt her, but in reality, I am the one who hurt her the most."
