Chapter 217 Li Yuan’s Other Idea
Huanzhou, Jiaotai City, the headquarters of the Black Jiao Gang, in the antique study room, there is a young man with a handsome face but an evil spirit in his eyes. The excitement in his heart can hardly be concealed.
"Are you sure Yang Zaitian said that?"
"Yes, Young Master, Yang Zaitian hopes to join our Huanzhou Alliance and help us solve the Chu Palace."
In front of the desk, the confidant who came to report said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, we will meet up with father immediately. This time, I will make a great contribution!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Huanzhou Alliance army has withdrawn to Huanzhou and is secretly marching to Lingzhou.
The junction between Huanzhou and Lingzhou happens to be Lingyun Mansion.
Previously, the Huanzhou Alliance had sent a hundred thousand troops to guard Huanlin Town on the border of Huanzhou to prevent Lingzhou from attacking.
At night, the guard of Huanlin City, He Yuanxiang, respectfully welcomed the arrival of the senior officials of the Huanzhou Alliance.
Alliance leader Zhou Chi, deputy alliance leaders Song Kong, Xu Kuang, Wang Cheng and other leaders of various forces led the pioneer army and rushed to Huanlin City first.
After a welcome ceremony, all the high-level officials gathered in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion to enter the main theme.
Zhou Chi and Song Kong took the main seats, with Xu Kuang and Wang Cheng taking the first seats on both sides.
Zhou Mo, Huang Jie, Feng He, Cheng Yaojin and other important generals also took their seats.
A huge topographic map is placed in the center of the lobby.
He Yuanxiang pointed to the terrain map and introduced the situation in Lingzhou to everyone.
"Alliance leader, fellow leaders, this is the situation on the map of Lingzhou. There are five venerables in the Prince of Chu's residence: A Qing, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Mu, Liu Qingquan, and Liu Chenfeng."
Zhou Chi, Song Kong and others' eyes flashed. The top forces in Huanzhou were stronger than the top forces in Lingzhou. Each force had at least two venerables, and each had a peak venerable.
The strongest Zhou family has four sages. Zhou Hong, the eldest ancestor of the Zhou family, is at the peak of the Dazun realm. The second ancestor of the Zhou family is at the late Dharma realm, but was killed by Ah Qing with one sword. The third ancestor is at the middle Dharma realm. The early stage of Dharma Master Zhou Chi’s realm.
The second is the Song family, with three venerables, Song Yaohui at the peak of the Dharma Realm, and one ancestor, the Late Dharma Realm, Song Kong at the early stage of the Dharma Realm.
The Black Dragon Gang, Xu Xiong is at the peak of the Dharma Realm, Xu Kuang is at the late stage of the Dharma Realm, and Wei Shan is at the early stage of the Female Dharma Realm.
The Wang family, the ancestor of the Wang family is at the peak of the Dharma Realm, and Wang Cheng is in the middle of the Dharma Realm.
This time, the four top forces of the Zhou family, the Black Dragon Gang, the Song family, and the Wang family tried their best to quickly capture Lingzhou. Each force sent two venerables, and they all sent their strongest pinnacles. His Holiness comes.
He Yuanxiang continued to introduce: "Among them, Ah Qing, who we pay most attention to, is likely to have the peak combat power of the Dharma Master Realm. After all, you have all heard that in the battle in the imperial capital, she killed two statues with one sword, which was the most powerful person under the command of the King of Chu. Strong."
Zhou Chi and others nodded slightly, and everyone showed recognition.
Records are the hardest to lie about. Ah Qing has fought twice in front of the world since he appeared.
Once he killed the second ancestor of the Zhou family, who was in the Dharma Master realm, with one sword, and then he killed two of them again with one sword.
This was seen by many people at that time and cannot be faked.
Even though Ah Qingcai is currently at the early stage of the Dharma Realm, no one would doubt that she possesses the peak combat power of the Dharma Realm.
"The second strongest Li Mu, a royal sage, strong, late stage of Dharma Realm,
The third strongest person should be Yuwen Chengdu, who is in the early stage of the Dharma Realm. However, in the previous battle in Lingzhou, his explosive strength was able to withstand the late Dharma Realm. Now half a year has passed. Perhaps he is stronger and has even secretly broken through to the Dharma Realm. It is also possible in the middle stage of Zun Realm. "He Yuanxiang looked at Zhou Chi. They were now discussing and speculating on the strength of the Chu Palace, so they wanted to keep the information as accurate as possible.
Yuwen Chengdu hadn't made a move for half a year. He was not a venerable, so he was a little unsure about Yuwen Chengdu's cultivation, so he looked at the venerables Zhou Chi, Song Kong, Xu Kuang, and Wang Cheng.
Song Kong was the first to shake his head and said: "This should be impossible. The realm of Dharma Master is not so easy to break through. It does not take more than ten or even decades for anyone in the early stage of Dharma Realm to break through to the middle stage of Dharma Master Realm.
No matter how talented Yuwen Chengdu is, it will take at least a few years. "
Zhou Chi nodded. He and Song Kong were both in the early stage of the Dharma Realm. They had been trained by the top resources of the two major forces for ten years, and they had not yet broken through to the middle stage of the Dharma Realm.
This does not mean that they are mediocre. Those who can break through the Dharma Realm are the top geniuses of that era.
Each level of Tianjiao in the Dayu Dynasty has a similar level. For example, fifteen or sixteen years old, a master in his twenties, a Tianwu in his thirties or forties, the peak of Tianwu in his fifties or sixties, and then he can break through the Dharma Master in twenty years. An ancestor has been established.
"Then let's consider Yuwen Chengdu's combat power at the late stage of Dharma Master Realm." Xu Kuang said.
Xu Kuang fought with his brother a hundred years ago to become a top force like the Black Dragon Gang. He always tries his best to overestimate his opponents instead of underestimating them.
Xu Kuang glanced at the children on one side, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping that one of them could inherit the Black Dragon Gang.
The reason why his younger brother Xu Xiong is stronger than him is because Xu Xiong rarely cares about gang affairs. Decades ago, Xu Xiong broke through to the peak of the Dharma Master Realm, and Xu Kuang suddenly understood that it was time for someone to help him. The management black dragon helped.
So he started to get married and have children, hoping that after many years, someone would help him take care of the Black Dragon Gang, so that he could devote himself to cultivation without having to worry so much.
Now it's time for the final test.
He Yuanxiang didn't know how far Xu Kuang was thinking in his heart.
"Liu Qingquan is in the middle stage of the Dharma Master Realm, and Liu Chenfeng is in the early stage of the Dharma Master Realm!"
"This is the strength of the five lords of Prince Chu's Mansion."
"hiss!"
Many small and medium-sized forces took a breath. Before this, they only had a vague concept of the forces in Lingzhou. They only knew that the weakest person in the Dayu Dynasty was the King of Chu. They did not expect that even the weakest King of Chu had surpassed them in Huanzhou. The strength of the Zhou family, the strongest in the alliance!
How many years has King Chu been in Lingzhou?
Zhou Chi saw the surprised looks in everyone's eyes and sneered: "Did you see it? This is the strength of the royal family. In just one or two years, it can have a power that your family cannot achieve even after hundreds of years of hard work. So we We must kill Dayu’s royal family!”
"That's right!"
Everyone nodded heavily.
"The King of Chu has two top talents, Xun Yu and Jia Xu, under his command. According to information, they are at the Tianwu Realm. There are three Tianwu Realm generals, Zhong Lizhen, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu. Their combat power is at the peak of the Tianwu Realm."
Many generals frowned deeply when they heard about the three top Tianwu Realm generals.
Especially those who are strong in the Tianwu Realm, they are least willing to fight with such a general in the Tianwu Realm, and he is also a general in the Tianwu Realm.
Often it takes three against one to defeat them.
"In addition to those who are loyal to the King of Chu, there are also Fang Shiyuan, a general in the early stage of Tianwu Realm, Jiang Lao and Li Sheng, who are at the peak of Tianwu Realm, and three royal families, two in the middle stage and one in the late stage of Tianwu Realm. These people are It is absolutely impossible to betray the Chu Palace.
King Chu died in our hands, and they hated us deeply.
The Lieyan Sect has seventeen Tianwu realms. Except for Liu Qingquan who took five Tianwu realms to Linghong Mansion to take charge, Liu Chenfeng and twelve Tianwu realms are in charge of the Lieyan Sect! "
He Yuanxiang's tone became more serious, "The Lieyan Sect is in Lingyun Mansion. Our first step into Lingzhou is to attack Lingyun Mansion."
He Yuanxiang pointed far away on the map, pointing to their nearest Lingyun Mansion, and then pointed to the middle of the Lingzhou map, Lingrong Mansion.
"Lingrong Mansion is in the middle of Lingzhou, connecting the six mansions. Prince Chu's Mansion is right in Linrong Mansion. After we capture Lingyun Mansion, we can directly enter Lingrong Mansion.
After destroying the last resistance forces such as Ah Qing and Yuwen Chengdu from the Chu Prince's Mansion, the remaining prefectures and counties will no longer have cohesion. At that time, the troops can be divided into eight groups and easily capture the eight prefectures! "
"So taking over Lingyun Mansion now is the key!" A leader's eyes flashed, and there was excitement in his eyes. Lingzhou is a big cake!
"How is the situation in Lingyun Mansion?" Wang Yu, the eldest son of the Wang family, asked.
"There are only 60,000 troops stationed in Lingfeng City, the border city of Lingyun Mansion. It was also to prevent our alliance from attacking before, but..." He Yuanxiang frowned slightly and paused.
"But what? Can they still stop our alliance army!" Zhou Qing said disdainfully when he saw He Yuanxiang's vigilant look.
He glanced at Zhou Quan, the one in front of him, and he was half angry and half eager. Zhou Quan's reputation had surpassed him, and he was in urgent need of meritorious deeds.
He Yuanxiang glanced at Zhou Qing, his face neither happy nor sad. He was a general of the Song family and there was no need to be afraid of Zhou Qing.
"Before anything happened to King Chu, Xun Yu had already ordered another general, Ma Chao, to lead an army of 100,000 people into Lingyun Mansion. Now that something happened to King Chu, they may have guessed that our Huanzhou Alliance was going to take action. The army led by Ma Chao has already attacked Lingfeng City has arrived, and soon there will be 160,000 troops guarding Lingfeng City, and Ma Chao's brother, another general Xu Chu, is also in Lieyan City."
"An army of 160,000?"
Many leaders of the forces frowned. They arrived one step ahead. The 80,000 vanguard army, plus Huanlin City's 100,000 troops, only amounted to 180,000.
Moreover, the Lieyan Sect is also a problem. Although it is weaker than the four top forces in the Huanzhou Alliance, the top forces must have their own trump cards in the sect's territory. Even if they are several times stronger, they may not be able to break through a sect. Once it shrinks, The pace of the Huanzhou Alliance may also slow down.
This is inconsistent with their plan to quickly solve Lingzhou.
"In my opinion, we directly invite the four peak sages to attack the Lieyan Sect tonight. Liu Qingquan is not in Lingyun Mansion. Liu Chenfeng, who is in the early stage of the Dharma Master Realm, will not be able to stop him for long even if he is supported by the sect's formation!" Xu Shenglong folded his arms, showing strong murderous intent.
"This is a good idea." Zhou Qing's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands suddenly. He liked it so simple and crudely.
Not only Zhou Qing, most of the people nodded, they also had this idea.
"This method is very good and saves effort."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Just when most people agreed, Cheng Yaojin, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly stretched out his thick black arm and said:
"Ahem, what's that? Let me ask you a question."
Everyone looked around after hearing the sound. When they saw that it was Cheng Yaojin who spoke, some people showed a hint of surprise, but many generals showed a hint of solemnity.
Most of the generals of the Huanzhou Alliance had a good relationship with Cheng Yaojin. They fought fiercely and often rushed to the front, taking the lead. They were also very direct and agile. Several times Ji Wushuang tried to sneak attack on them, but Cheng Yaojin noticed them and resolved them one by one.
"Cheng Yaojin, what's your problem?"
Xu Kuang also admired this fierce general who dared to fight and charge.
"Gang leader, if we send four peak sages out for a sneak attack, what if the sages A Qing and Yuwen Chengdu from Prince Chu's Mansion suddenly come to attack us?" Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips, frowned and said, "We can Can you stop it?"
Oh haha!
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat!
If the four pinnacle venerables left and Ah Qing and the others suddenly came to kill them, wouldn't they be killed in one fell swoop?
"Impossible, how do they know we will attack at night tonight?"
"What if? Since Xun Yu has sent Ma Chao to Lingfeng City, are you sure why he won't send A Qing?"
"What if you don't come?"
"If we don't come, we can at best deal with the Fierce Flame Sect. If it comes, we will all be finished.
Let me ask you, are you afraid of ten thousand or just in case? "
"Hey, I'm afraid of what might happen!"
"I think we should be cautious and proceed steadily!"
"Yes, yes!"
Xu Fengwu watched the discussion quietly and glanced at Cheng Yaojin from the corner of her eye.
Haha, are you afraid of what might happen?
Cheng Yaojin is here to confirm the answer!
After the four peak sages leave, do you think the people in the Chu Palace will know?
Xu Fengwu looked in the direction of Lingzhou from a distance. Although she had confirmed from her second uncle that King Chu was dead, everyone in the Black Jiao Gang and even the entire Huanzhou Alliance believed it.
After all, the four strongest people in his family took action together. If they didn't believe it, what else could they believe?
But Xu Fengwu remained deeply suspicious. Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng were from the King of Chu, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
She didn't believe it. These two people didn't tell the King of Chu.
Will King Chu who knew the answer in advance still die?
At this moment, her feelings towards Li Yuan reached a level of fear. She was so decisive!
Too cruel!
Dare to fake death!
Which force leader dares to fake his own death and is not afraid of direct separation of forces?
Zhou Chi also frowned, this was indeed a problem.
The Wang family is the weakest, so Wang Cheng is very cautious.
"Now that the King of Chu is dead, Lingzhou will be in our hands sooner or later. We don't need to gamble. Let's take it step by step. At least before A Qing is dealt with, it's best not to rush in suddenly. After all, they don't need to be guarded now."
"That makes sense."
"Can!"
"Then let's wait for the main army to arrive first, and then push to Lingrong Mansion step by step."
"agree!"
……………………
In Huanzhou, the roads shook, and armies rushed to Huanlin City quickly.
In a carriage supported by hundreds of elite soldiers at the rear of the army, Jiang Gan respectfully saluted the young man in front of him.
"Ziyi doesn't need to be polite."
Li Yuan picked up Jiang Qian.
Yes, Li Yuan is now in the main force of the Huanzhou Alliance.
"Thanks to you this time, the plan went so smoothly."
"Your Highness has already prepared, how dare you ask for credit."
"Haha, come and sit."
The two sat opposite each other.
"Your Highness, this is a very clever plan to fake death!"
Jiang Gan opened his mouth with praise.
"How wonderful?"
"Haha, Ziyi, some people in the Dayu Dynasty may have doubted whether Gu is really dead.
They are even still laughing at Gu. What can he do if he fakes his death? It is of no use at all. If he has built such a big power, he is afraid it will collapse. "
Li Yuan looked at the groups of soldiers marching quickly towards Huanlin City outside the car curtains at night, shook his head and chuckled.
"Your Highness, why should you pay attention to those self-righteous people? They don't know what our real advantage is. If Lingzhou is gone, it will be gone. What's the big deal?" Jiang Gan said disdainfully as he touched tea.
"If I didn't want Li Si Xunyu and the others to waste all their efforts, I would have really wanted to "die" for ten to twenty years so that they could completely forget about my existence."
"More than ten or twenty years will be enough for our people to spread all over the various forces." Li Yuan's eyes showed a trace of longing. It would be great to hide quietly in the back and lie down. Who wouldn't want to be lazy and stand in front of the public? God needs to be remembered every day.
