"Damn it, damn it!" Jiang Zhong's hair was disheveled, and even the Taoist robe on his body became a little dirty.
Yao Rong was not wrong, Beiyu really wanted to take action against them. As soon as he returned to Qingzhou, he discovered that the veteran general Jiang Meng had personally led his men to kill Mi Taoist disciples.
I originally wanted to raise my arms, but found that except for a few nearby counties, the news could not spread at all. People from Beiyu had blocked all directions.
"Brother Yao, you have so many ideas, what should you do now?"
Yao Rong's face turned dark, "I told you earlier to slow down before you show up. You don't believe it, so what if Jiang Meng is saved? A kindness has been repaid with a vengeance!"
"Brother Yao, don't argue." Jiang Chong said with a cold face, "How about you tell me your idea first?"
Yao Rong raised his head coldly and looked at the rice Taoist disciples who had gathered in front of him. There were no more than ten thousand people. In the past two or three days, Beiyu people had killed without mercy, forcing many new disciples who had just joined the religion to have three buckets of rice.
, and hid all of a sudden, not daring to show up again.
"Hide first. Qingzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time. I will follow the mountain road in Yanzhou and go up the mountain to hide first, and then come out when I find an opportunity."
"What if there is an ambush from Beiyu on the other side of the mountain road?"
"Even if there are, there won't be too many, so just kill them!" Yao Rong said expressionlessly.
"Brother Yao——"
While the two were talking, suddenly, a confidant ran over in a hurry.
"My lord, a secret message from Chengdu."
"That family of sheep killers." Jiang Zhong opened it, looked at it coldly for a few times, and suddenly smiled. Then he handed the letter to Yao Rong next to him.
"The Sheep Killer said that Yuan Chong had arrived in the south of the Yangtze River in the name of paying homage to his father. He also contacted his old troops and was in Quyang County of Wuzhou."
"His intention is to let me cross the river together and meet up first. This fool, up to now, is still thinking about his spring and autumn dream."
Yao Rong looked at the letter in his hand and frowned, "I'm a little surprised, why didn't he come over? Instead, he asked us to cross the river."
"Brother Yao, Jiang Meng is trying to kill us in Kezhou and even Qingzhou. What is he doing here? Although the Shu people are hateful, there is no trouble at the moment and everything is calm."
Yao Rong was silent for a moment and nodded.
"There are not enough merchant ships. Even if we cross the river, we can only carry 3,000 people."
"I can't care anymore." Jiang Zhong's voice was cold, "So let the remaining people hide in the mountains first, and then come out and become brave men in white turbans when something big is expected."
"Damn it, just a few steps away, my white-turbaned bravery can take the world by storm."
Yao Rong turned around and sneered.
"Brother Yao, the Beiyu people are chasing us too fast. You and I should cross the river first to avoid trouble!"
…
"When the world joins forces, the Mi Dao disciples are like turtles in a urn." Dongfang Jing faced the river and slowly smiled, "Remember, one of the two Mi Dao heavenly masters must be left behind. I still have a lot of things to do.
ask."
"Don't worry, military advisor!" Ma Yi, who was standing by, cupped his hands and immediately walked to the dock to prepare to board the ship.
Dongfang Jing lowered his head in silence and looked at the file in his hand.
Since the entire northern area is the territory of Beiyu, it is not easy to penetrate and grasp the intelligence beyond the Great Wall from there.
In the past, the two countries could still exchange information. But now, it is no longer possible. Just like the appearance of these rice roads, in Dongfang Jing's opinion, it is really interesting.
Chang Sheng fell into the trap and sent Chiang and Meng to attack Lingzhou, but was defeated. As a result, the two countries became more incompatible. But at this time, Mi Dao Tu was a good excuse to ease off.
After joining forces with a tacit understanding, according to Dongfang Jing's estimation, the war between the two countries will gradually calm down.
Xishu is still too weak now, and Beiyu has lost nearly 30,000 naval troops on the front line, as well as warship reserves. At first glance, it seems that the time for a decisive battle has not yet come.
"In this war, the safest strategy for Western Shu is to hold on and then counterattack." Dongfang Jing murmured.
The Xiangjiang River is the natural danger of Western Shu. Otherwise, if we cross the river to attack the attack station, Western Shu will be defeated.
The road to hegemony is long and difficult.
Dongfang Jing hugged the sleeves of his robe, wrapped himself in the cloak, and sighed silently.
…
"Brother, do you think King Xu Shu will remember my big mistake and kill me when it is done?" In Quyang County, Yuan Chong was still worried.
He was extremely regretful. If he had known this, he should not have listened to Mi Taoist disciples in the first place.
"Lord, don't talk nonsense." Yan Tang comforted him, then thought for a moment before speaking.
"My lord, please remember not to think of fighting for hegemony in the future. The general trend of the world has become a struggle between the north and the south. If my lord interferes again, there will be no place for you and me."
"Brother-in-law, I am King Yuan of Donglai, and I still have royal blood in my body. How can I be willing to--"
"If you say this again, I will not recognize you as my sworn brother." Yan Tang gritted his teeth, "Do you know that I have already touched the back of King Xu Shu before? If it were not for the purpose of exchanging merit for crime, you and I would
He's dead! Don't mention the royal bloodline in your body again, lest it arouse King Xu Shu's murderous intention."
Yuan Chong trembled all over and nodded dully.
"I guess after what happened this time, my lord will not leave Chengdu. But in the future, King Xu Shu will definitely send people to keep an eye on him."
Yuan Chong burst into tears.
"Don't fight anymore. Royal blood? Look at the Demon Queen's son, he died in his infancy... Lord, just be a wealthy prince in this life. If King Xu Shu wants to proclaim himself emperor in the future...
…”
"How to say?"
Yan Tang was silent for a while, "My lord then submitted a letter, saying that on behalf of the royal family surnamed Yuan, he would abdicate the King of Shu as the emperor. I guess this may... be one of the reasons why King Xu Shu and the two military advisors allowed my lord to enter Shu."
But this reason is not too important, the lord needs to understand this."
Yuan Chong closed his eyes in pain, and then nodded with difficulty.
Yan Tang sighed.
"It's like a bet. Now that you have chosen Xishu, you should fully cooperate and be a minister of the dragon."
…
On the river.
Many merchant ships are being pushed out from the reed swamps where they are hidden.
On the largest merchant ship, Jiang Chong's face was still full of anger, and he was extremely unhappy. He was still clutching a white scarf in his hand and chattering endlessly.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, brother Yao! Before my white-turbaned bravery could become a big trend, you and I were blocked by others!"
Yao Rong was silent and didn't speak, his eyes were extremely cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Yao, please say something. I have always treated you like a brother and sister. I also said that the world is divided into two parts. I am the emperor and you are the emperor. One person has fifteen states."
"Brother Jiang, please be patient." Brother Yao comforted him. Although he was comforting Jiang Zhong, for some reason, he felt very uneasy in his heart.
Returning from Kezhou to Qingzhou, and then crossing the river from Qingzhou to Wuzhou, it was as if there were hands pushing him behind his back, pushing him forward in a daze.
If he had been given more time, he might have been able to come up with something. But time was too tight, and there was Jiang Zhong, a bad talker, who kept cursing and chattering beside him.
Sometimes, he wished he could slap him in the face.
Yao Rong looked at the river in front of him with a cold face, tightly clenching his fists.
