Chapter 112
(recommendation ticket plus update)
Song Xing is now also one of the little celebrities in Wuyang City, one of Li Xian's cronies.
No, when Song Xing came out of Li's Mansion and wanted to go to Anyang overnight, he was stopped by someone.
In the middle of the night, on a deserted mountain road, dozens of masked men in black stopped Song Xing and his party.
Sending letters is not a safe thing, and many soldiers around Song Xing were killed or injured. In this chaotic Great Xia country, countless messengers die every year. Especially in the recent moment when the princes are fighting for power, it seems that someone is specially robbing the messenger.
"Song Xing, hand over the letter! It will save your life!" Song Xing and his party had to jump up from their horses, while a dozen healthy horses wailed and fell down.
In mid-air, Song Xing and the others didn't say anything, and directly attacked with flying swords. The flying swords of Song Xing and others are all top-level instruments, both in speed and sharpness, far surpassing ordinary flying swords. If it wasn't for the purpose of preventing Xuantie from leaking secrets, what Song Xing and others used would not be top-level instruments, but magic weapons.
But even so, these black-clothed men who blocked the road were still caught off guard; only one black-clothed man fled in embarrassment.
Song Xing wanted to chase after him, but the remaining men in black dragged on desperately, and finally made the leading man in black disappear into the dark forest.
The battle ended quickly, Song Xing counted the soldiers, "Wounded ones, return to Wuyang Li's Mansion, leaving half of the bullets and talismans. The rest, go!"
There were four injured, leading the injured horse and dragging a few more typical corpses back to Wuyang. The journey was peaceful.
However, Song Xing and others could only run on foot, relying entirely on their true energy for support along the way. But Song Xing and the others didn't rush directly to Anyang like this. The journey was 1,500 li away, and even Jindan Stage cultivators couldn't bear it. Song Xing wandered around with the rest of the people, and came to a mountain village.
After entering the mountain village and exchanging passwords, Song Xing and others changed into healthy horses and rode away after only a cup of tea.
But this time there seemed to be a lot of people in black; Song Xing and others hadn't advanced a hundred miles, but they encountered another group.
"It's really no fun! Kill!" Song Xing flew up first, and this time he used not only the flying sword, but also the talisman!
A handful of talismans spilled out three pieces, all of which were ice-like talismans. Senhan's aura erupted instantly, and the surroundings instantly turned into a world of ice sculptures!
"Why... there are such... powerful talisman seals!" A young master who should be in the foundation building period trembled, but the cold breath had already invaded his body, and even his true essence was frozen.
Song Xing sneered, "Isn't it amazing to use sea soul silk to make talisman seals! A talisman seal is worth 30 taels of gold! Your death is worth it."
As he said that, the surrounding guards swarmed forward, beheading all those who could not resist in the freezing state. Then hurry up and hurry! Along the way, Song Xing and his party encountered five interceptions. If Song Xing hadn't made a decisive decision to throw out a lot of talismans, it would have been really dangerous. Even so, several guards still died. When entering the border of Anyang, the bullets were all empty.
When he saw Anyang Mansion, Song Xing wiped his bloody face and gritted his teeth: "Don't let me know who it is, or I will make them sleepless!"
After delivering the letter to Xu Ren, Song Xing couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xu, who do you think is most likely to intercept the letter so frantically?"
Xu Ren shook his head, "There are too many. His Majesty may even send someone to intercept him; of course, the biggest possibility is someone from the Second Prince's side! But don't worry, these enmities will definitely be avenged. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!"
When you return this time, I will send people to follow secretly to see who dares to intercept my letter from Anyang!
go rest. "
When Song Xing left, Xu Ren shook his feather fan and thought for a while, and finally sneered, "The dog jumped the wall in a hurry! But, it's useless!"
Later, Xu Ren, Xia Qingqing, Yan Ze'an, Beichen Yuqing, Fang Shijing, Yan Zhengqing, and other generals discussed again. This time Song Xing brought not only a letter from Li Xian, but also a letter from Li Yulong!
A sand table was placed in the center of the room, and Xu Ren pointed Jiang Shan.
"The current situation in the Great Xia Kingdom is very dangerous. It is divided internally and the four surrounding countries are watching; as long as our internal friction reaches a certain level, they will send troops to attack the city.
From now on, we must prepare for the worst. Once the Great Xia Kingdom falls, what should we do? "
The surrounding atmosphere was solemn, especially Xia Qingqing's expression was melancholy. The current Great Xia Kingdom is actually "existing in name only."
Xu Ren stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of Luliang County, "So, we must establish a strong force as soon as possible. And our first goal is Luliang County, and use Luliang County to establish our prestige."
Yan Ze'an frowned a little, "Why not Zhongshan County? If we choose Zhongshan County, we can join forces with the eldest son.
And if our first target is Luliang County, we can only fight alone; and the south of Luliang County is Dongyuan County, where the Yuan family is located, and it is also the strength of the second prince.
In other words, if we attack Luliang County, we will face the pressure of the three counties alone! "
Everyone also agreed with Yan Ze'an's judgment, even Beichen Yuqing agreed with this plan; this plan can be said to be foolproof!
But Xu Ren shook his head, "The reason why I chose Luliang County is due to my own considerations, and it was also specifically mentioned in the young master's letter.
First, we need to consider our strengths. Now we have five hundred taels of locomotives, including 100 cannons, which are most effective in fighting on flat ground. However, Zhongshan County is dominated by mountains, while Luliang County is dominated by plains.
Secondly, the eldest son cannot move. The eldest son must now prevent Cai Guo, and is still competing with the eldest prince for control of the northern "Xin'an County".
Thirdly, we have to think about the future. The young master is the young master, and the eldest son is the eldest son. Although the three brothers have a good relationship, we are loyal to Master Li Xian, not the eldest son Li Liang, nor the second son Li Wei.
Fourth, it is still a miracle created by industry. Our iron-hull ship research has succeeded! We have reached an agreement with the Sea Clan long ago, our boats can move on the sea. And Luliang County and Dongyuan County are both by the sea! In this way, the entire coastline will be our attack line! Backed by the sea and relying on the attack of naval guns, we can quickly establish a seaside base!
Fifth, is the supply line. With iron-hulled ships and sea sports agreements, the sea supply line is much easier!
Sixth, the soldiers are tricky. Since everyone thinks that we will take the lead in attacking Zhongshan County, then we will not attack Zhongshan County.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the young master and I agreed that we should take the lead in controlling Luliang County.
And once we control Luliang County, then we will form a flanking posture with the eldest son against Zhongshan County, and Zhongshan County will be destroyed without attack. "
In Xu Ren's analysis, some people's eyes shine, while others frown and think.
Suddenly, Beichen Yuqing pointed at Zhongshan County, "I think Zhongshan County is going to feint. Just let that Zhang Pengfei lead the way..."
"Wait!" Xia Qingqing said suddenly, with a stern tone, "You are so daring, how dare you discuss dividing up the Great Xia Kingdom in front of this princess?!"
