Chen Youliang is not an ordinary person. He may be afraid of death, but he cannot beg for mercy on the spot.
There may be some problems with ability and character, but Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang are both resolute people. Unless Su Cheng lets him live, it will be impossible for him to tell his trump card.
Su Cheng looked at Chen Youliang in front of him, and his thoughts of torturing him suddenly disappeared. He lightly covered his head with a palm, and Chen Youliang died instantly.
"You killed an important person, Destiny 10."
Su Cheng didn't pay too much attention to the prompts that flashed before his eyes.
With Cheng Kun's cautious mind, it was impossible to tell Chen Youliang too much news.
In addition, Su Cheng actually also thought that since Chen Youliang was hiding in Taihu Lake, it was obvious that Cheng Kun should be at Zhu Yuanzhang's place.
King Ruyang led the army southward, and the fate of the Mingjiao army was uncertain. Cheng Kun would not miss this.
The only thing Su Cheng is worried about now is whether Zhu Yuanzhang will cooperate with Cheng Kun.
This is indeed very possible, and both parties can be said to have their own needs.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming government, the city government must have plans for Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao and others. Su Cheng did not have too many worries. Before the great cause was accomplished, Zhu Yuanzhang could not take action against the top leaders of the Mingjiao to weaken his own strength.
"Bring this man to King Cheng and tell him his true identity."
After letting the two Huashan disciples take the people away, Su Cheng returned to his residence alone.
Within the next two days, Su Cheng Shi Naian slowly transformed back into his own identity. By this time, Zhang Shicheng's identity could be discarded.
On the other hand, after two days, Shi Naian also ended the call for his soldiers. Everyone gathered together. There were more than 20,000 men and horses, bringing food, grass and armor, and gathered towards Yingtian Mansion.
On the way there, Su Cheng found that many places had been emptied of people, and all food, livestock, etc. had been taken away. It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang's campaign to clear the country had already begun.
Seeing this, Su Cheng nodded secretly. Although Yuanting was strong, it had many internal contradictions. They didn't need much resistance on their side. They just needed to create some troubles, which would be enough to cause problems within Yuanting.
After arriving at Yingtian Mansion, Su Cheng left his army outside the city and entered the city to discuss the situation with Zhang Wuji, Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
With more than 20,000 soldiers involved, it is necessary to coordinate all parties. Not to mention other things, just eating, drinking and urinating is a big problem.
"The soldiers and horses of King Ruyang have already arrived at Baoying, which is still more than three hundred miles away from us, but they have not continued southward. They seem to be planning something."
Zhu Yuanzhang told Su Cheng and others about the army of King Ruyang.
Marching and fighting has always been more than just words, let alone an army of 800,000. Not to mention other things, just the amount of grain and farmers involved is an astronomical figure.
In this era, there are no cars or other means of transportation. Just think about it for a moment and you will understand how difficult it is.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Taihu. If Shi Naian had not prepared in advance, it would have been impossible to gather them in two days.
"They are probably collecting food and fodder, and also want to inquire about our situation. Although Yuanting can be defeated, he, King Ruyang, cannot be defeated, otherwise his end will be worrying."
Su Cheng said lightly that King Ruyang seemed to have a high and powerful position, but as long as he did not want to betray Yuan Ting, he would be restrained in his actions. If he made the slightest mistake, his political opponents would target him, and even Emperor Yuan Shun would take the opportunity to take action.
A little further south of Baoying is Gaoyou. In real history, Zhang Shicheng occupied this place, greedy for pleasure, arrogant and extravagant, and brazenly proclaimed himself king. In the end, he was besieged by a million-strong army of Yuanting. He was destined to die. Yuan Xiang Tuotuo was attacked by the courtiers.
He was framed and executed, so he escaped with his life.
The current situation is of course different from the real history. This time King Ruyang led a large army to attack the rebels, but the outcome will not change much.
"By the way, one more thing. I met Cheng Kun's apprentice Chen Youliang in Taihu Lake. Although I never asked about Cheng Kun's whereabouts, if the prediction is correct, Cheng Kun must be in Yingtian Mansion."
When Su Cheng said this, he took a cursory look at the people present, but in the end he focused on Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, what surprised Su Cheng was that Zhu Yuanzhang's heartbeat and breath did not change at all. This was actually a bit abnormal.
Unless he had anticipated it or had a strong determination, it would have been impossible for him to remain so calm after hearing the news.
"Cheng Kun? How could it be possible? My adoptive father has been tracking him down. Shouldn't he be in the north?"
Zhang Wuji frowned, Xie Xun had been following Cheng Kun, and there were Mingjiao followers to help him, so there was no way he would be embarrassed.
unless……
Suddenly, Zhang Wuji thought of a possibility, unless someone in the Ming Cult deliberately provided false information.
"Cheng Kun has great martial arts skills, deep scheming, and has connections with Yuanting, so it is possible for him to do this."
Yang Xiao stood up, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He shook his head at Zhang Wuji and said another possibility.
"Yes, Cheng Kun's appearance here should be the order of King Ruyang. He probably wants to find out the situation of the rebels like us, and may even want to take the opportunity to do some damage."
Yin Tianzheng, who grew stronger as he grew older, changed the topic directly to Cheng Kun and quietly resolved the possible conflict.
"Cheng Kun has strong martial arts skills and is very familiar with the Ming Cult. He is an extremely dangerous person. Next, we must screen the people around us, and secondly, we must inform them to protect their own safety."
Su Cheng didn't say too much. There were only a few people around him, Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao, and they had all arrived recently. It was impossible for Cheng Kun to get into it. The Mingjiao staff was complex and there were too many people.
, on the contrary, it is the most likely to be mixed in.
Unlike Chen Youliang, Cheng Kun's martial arts was only slightly weaker than that of Su Cheng and Zhang Wuji. Su Cheng really didn't think it would be so easy to catch each other.
Su Cheng then returned to his residence and told Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao, as well as people from the Six Yuxian Sect, about the matter, asking everyone to be more careful in the near future.
"Master Cheng is here too?"
When Zhao Min saw the people from Yuxian Liu Sect leaving, she asked Su Cheng. Apparently she didn't know that Cheng Kun had come to Yingtian Mansion.
"It must be here. I miss Miss Zhao. You should understand that Cheng Kun's obsession is to destroy Mingjiao. This opportunity is once in a lifetime and he will not miss it."
After Su Cheng said a few words, he believed Zhao Min would understand.
"Yes, Master Cheng's thoughts have always been with the Mingjiao, so we here can also let go of our guard."
Zhao Min looked a little more relaxed. Based on her understanding of Cheng Kun, although the other party had deep thoughts, he was also quite paranoid and would not do any other unnecessary things before the great revenge was avenged.
"You still have to be careful. It's hard for others to guess what this kind of person thinks. By the way, there are also your father's soldiers and horses..."
Su Cheng shook his head and talked about King Ruyang's army. This was the most important thing at hand.
