Chapter 401 Lower Yangzhou

Chi Yao was captured and all obstacles were cleared.

After Luo Xing and all the Nanchu navy ships entered the Slender West Lake river, they took action directly, activating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to seal the entrance with ice.

With his ability, he couldn't freeze instantly, so he had to rely on the assistance of the jade spirit talisman array arranged under the water to speed up and save a little effort at the same time.

Although the process was slow, the Nanchu navy ship that entered Slender West Lake to avoid the waterspout did not notice it at all. They only saw a thick layer of white mist rising at the entrance of the river behind them.

Fog on the river is a very common thing, and it does not cause the other party to be alert at all.

On the contrary, I am glad that I hid in earlier and escaped the disaster. Anyway, I will just wait until tomorrow morning to drive out again.

It doesn't take much trouble.

At night, there are many fun places on the east bank of Slender West Lake. It is a rare opportunity to have fun. How can the generals of the Nanchu Navy hold back?
"Master Marquis, I think I can control these naval generals..."

"No, there is no need to do this now. As long as we can capture Yangzhou tomorrow, everything will be easy." Luo Xing said, "These naval generals and soldiers are all on the other side of the river. We cannot persuade them to surrender."

"Then what should we do? Kill him?"

"Develop Funiu Mountain. It is a natural treasure mine. However, there are few people there and it is a bitter cold place. Now that there are so many people there, wouldn't there be somewhere to go?" Luo Xing chuckled.

"Will Your Majesty agree?"

"If you partner with him, won't he agree?" Luo Xing said, "If he doesn't agree, I will partner with the Tianlan Sect. Anyway, with whom is cooperation not a cooperation?"

"Then how much do you plan to give His Majesty?"

"This place belongs to him, maybe [-]%, at most." Luo Xing said.

"It's only [-]%, can your majesty agree?" Hong Ying couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I still need [-]% from Brother Qin and [-]% from Lao Niu. I only have [-]%." Luo Xing said, Lao Niu is the actual person in charge of Funiu Mountain. If you want to develop there, you can't do it without Lao Niu's nod. They will take [-]% of the shares. It should be.

Since I have contributed my own efforts and actually run the business, it is reasonable to take [-]%. His Majesty takes [-]%. The legal obstacles must be removed, otherwise it will be illegal mining.

As for Qin Chong's [-]%, it was a guarantee for the Sirius Army after it was dismantled, and it was also an exchange for the Qin family after they handed over their military power.

Since the power has been handed over, there must be some compensation, right?

Moreover, Qin Zhong is currently the general manager of the Southeast Road March, and he has the final say on how to deal with the captured Nanchu prisoners. These prisoners are all good absentees. In ten or twenty years, when they settle down at the border, then He has completely become a Zhou person.

As for the family members on the Nanchu side, just find an opportunity to take over. Ten years later, it’s hard to say whether Nanchu will still exist.

It was a bit far-fetched to think about it, but it was time to prepare for a rainy day. He was originally unwilling to be tied too deeply to anyone.

But now that he has come to this point, even if he doesn't want to, others will think so, so he has no choice but to go with the flow.

Even if there is a chance to reach the top in the future, looking back, there is nothing down there, which makes life meaningless.

Human beings still need to have fireworks to live a meaningful life.

Then wine, sex and wealth are indispensable.

Eat when you should, drink when you should, play when you should, sleep when you should, and worry about what to do. For a moment, Luo Xing let go of his restraints and actually entered the state of enlightenment!
With this sudden enlightenment, spiritual cultivation will rise like a rocket. Cultivating the spiritual path is originally a kind of "freedom of mind". The difficulty is enlightenment. Once you have enlightenment, your cultivation will make rapid progress.

Just like Meng Yi, after being inspired by Luo Xing, he had an epiphany and instantly broke into the spiritual realm and became an extraordinary existence.

The same is true for him. Once his mind was relaxed and his shackles were broken, his spiritual cultivation was directly promoted to the first level. The momentum was unstoppable and he directly hit the bottleneck of breaking through the spiritual realm!

This speed of cultivation is simply jaw-dropping, but he also has inner rationality. He is not a normal person. There is also a terrifying Black Bell Spirit living in the sea of ​​consciousness. What realm she is, Luo Xing has no way of knowing, but he is sure It is beyond the critical point of this world. Otherwise, she would not be able to survive in his sea of ​​consciousness and would not be able to appear directly.

Once it appears, it is most likely to cause the world to collapse.

Therefore, as long as she leaves something to Luo Xing, he can rise like a rocket. If he is not good at martial arts, she can only help him cut off his hair and cleanse his marrow, indirectly improving his qualifications and bones. However, spiritual Dao can, as long as this body can comprehend When it arrives, you can fill it up for him.

That is Luo Xing. It would be impossible for another person to do it. You still have to polish it step by step. Those with good qualifications will be faster than others.

With the improvement of cultivation, the efficiency of Frozen has also been greatly improved. What might have required three hours of work in the past may now only take one hour.

It doesn't have to be too strenuous, and after finishing here, you can go home and have a rest, and relax with Ning Yurou to prepare for the big battle tomorrow morning.

A waterspout occurred on the river, which only affected a few fishing boats that had not returned in time, but did not affect the people in Yangzhou City.

After dark, the waterspouts disappeared.

Peace and tranquility returned to Yangzhou City.

Shen Yuan.

Luo Xing came back. Although he was a little depressed, he was much better than expected. Ning Yurou came to greet him. She had not yet gathered the forces in the city to resist Nan Chu.

The appointment was scheduled for late at night, so it would be a waste of time to meet now.

These people had been notified long ago and saw that their troops had gathered together and sent them into the city. As for any major actions, the leaders did not know.

We have to wait for Ning Yurou, the "Jiang Yurong", to appear.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Yangzhou City. The original Jiangdu Army was dispersed and reorganized by Nanchu, and they did not dare to station them in Jiangdu. Therefore, there are only about [-] troops stationed in Yangzhou City, of which [-] are the original ones. The Yangzhou Guard was reorganized, with the original Yangzhou Guard General Cao Jixiang serving as the chief military officer, and the other [-] Huaizhou Army, commanded by Tian Wenjing's nephew Tian Yuanwu. In name, Cao Jixiang was the highest military commander in Yangzhou. In fact, Tian Yuanwu's He could not command the [-] Huaizhou Army at all.

In addition to the army, there is also the navy. The admiral of the navy is Xiang Ningyu, a member of the Southern Chu royal family. It is even more impossible to obey Cao Jixiang's command.

The navy has a total of more than 5 large and small ships and more than 5000 people. Among them is a powerful land force of [-] people, with very strong combat effectiveness.

In other words, there are almost [-] soldiers and horses in Yangzhou City, of which [-] can fight on land, and they have the advantage of defending the city.

In this battle, even with a surprise attack, it would be difficult to capture Yangzhou City.

But if the natural waterway barrier surrounding Yangzhou is useless and the Sirius Army's cavalry marches straight in, it will be a different situation.Luo Xing's freezing technique played a key role at this time.

As long as the river is frozen with a section of ice that can allow the cavalry to pass through, the army can easily pass through, and even directly attack Yangzhou City through Slender West Lake.

Before this, Luo Xing couldn't do it, but now he can give it a try. Pick the narrowest place and temporarily ice-block a passage. Without a ferry, the army can easily cross the waterway and enter the city directly.

"Hongying, send an urgent eagle message to inform General Qin and ask him to change his siege plan and enter the city directly from the water in the west. I have a way to make the army enter the city directly!"

"Yes."

"Yurou, come in and help me recover." Luo Xing ordered, "Ling'er, you go to the Alliance in place of Yurou and act according to the original plan."

"Yes!" Yurou and Linger agreed in unison.

……

In Yangzhou State Shepherd's Mansion.

After dinner, Yuan Rui was about to take a hot bath to feel comfortable when suddenly a servant came to report that Yan Sheng, the guard stationed in Yangzhou, asked to see him.

Although he established a relationship with the commander of the Jin Yiwei through giving gifts to Yuan He, they even exchanged posts and became brothers.

But he knew that Yuan He looked down on him, but he had no strong backer in Nanchu. Only Yuan He was willing to accept him, so he never dared to neglect the matter of Jin Yiwei.

"Brother Yan, it's so late, why are you here?" Yuan Rui cupped his hands and welcomed him into the living room.

"Master Yuan, Yan received a tip that someone is going to cause rebellion in Yangzhou City tonight. I'm here to ask Master Yuan to mobilize troops to put down the rebellion!" Yan Sheng sat down and directly explained his intention.

"Making trouble..." Yuan Rui was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Master Yan, who is so bold and dares to do such a thing under your nose?"

"This has something to do with Mr. Yuan. If it weren't for your dirty hands, today's incident would not have happened." Yan Sheng snorted.

"It has something to do with Yuan. Master Yan, what, what's going on?" Yuan Rui was confused and had no idea what Yan Sheng was talking about.

"Someone in the Jiang family slipped through the net. Jiang Chaosheng's daughter Jiang Yurong is still alive. Doesn't Mr. Yuan know?" Yan Sheng asked in return.

"I know this, and I have been sending people to look for it, ready to eradicate it." Yuan Rui did not hide it. To hide it in front of Jin Yiwei was not to seek death.

"Jiang Yurong was rescued by the Nanya of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now he is being pushed out to integrate all those who oppose us in Yangzhou City. He is preparing to take advantage of the Great Zhou Dynasty's attack to create civil strife and leave us too busy to take care of ourselves. I have already grasped the location of their gathering tonight. , I’ve come here to send troops to you to catch them all!” Yan Sheng explained.

"Where are they meeting?"

"Jiangdu Palace." Yan Sheng said.

That place is the emperor's palace, and no one dares to occupy it. Even Tian Wenjing only arranged for someone to take it over. You would never dare to let him live in it.

You live in the place where the emperor lives. What, do you want to rebel?
Therefore, even if the palace has long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds, no one dares to take it as their own and live in it, so they can only leave it empty.

Jianghu people are not taboo about such a large area. After all, no one will believe that you, an ordinary Jianghu person, have the ability to rebel?

Some shameful things are arranged to be carried out here, which is naturally more concealable, and the space inside is large and can accommodate many people.

"As far as I know, there are a lot of people here tonight, and some salt merchants also sent representatives to participate. Their meeting place is in Dong'an Hall, and I have sent people to keep an eye on it. The meeting time is at the end of the night. , when the time comes, it is estimated that the local leaders of Nanya will also be present in person. They are all warriors, and there are many masters among them, so I want to borrow troops from you, Mr. Yuan!"

"How many soldiers does Mr. Yan need?"

"I'm afraid it won't work without five hundred, and even five hundred won't be enough. If there are masters above the Wuzong among these people, even I may not be able to stop them." Yan Sheng said.

"Then why doesn't Mr. Yan ask for help from Jinling Headquarters?"

"It's too late. They moved too fast this time and didn't give us any time to prepare. They probably did it on purpose," Yan Sheng said.

"What I can mobilize are the government officials in Yangzhou City. I can't mobilize the soldiers of General Cao and General Xiaotian," Yuan Rui said.

"Master Yuan is the shepherd of Yangzhou. The military and political power are all in your hands. Why can't you mobilize troops?"

"If Mr. Yan can't do it, I can't do anything." Yuan Rui said, "I gave Mr. Yan the order and arrows to mobilize the troops. If Mr. Yan can mobilize the troops, there will be no problem. If he can't mobilize the troops, then I won't. Method."

"Master Yuan, it's about your life and fortune, don't you care?"

"Of course I'm anxious, but I can only assign government officials to you. If you want it, I'll arrange it now. 500 people may not be enough, but 200 or [-] people should be fine." Yuan Rui is not in a hurry, "In addition, the guards and guards in my mansion will be fine." Servant, you can also take him away..."

Yan Sheng frowned. He didn't expect that the conflict between the two chief military and political officials in Yangzhou was so deep. Although the original purpose of divide and rule was this, now it is too delayed.

Yan Sheng then went to Cao Jixiang's General Military Mansion. The disciple replied that he was not at home and had gone to Xiangyunfang. Tonight, General Xiaotian invited Navy Admiral Xiang Yanyun to have dinner at Xiangyunfang, and Cao Jixiang went to accompany him.

The relationship between Jin Yiwei and the Tian family is somewhat inconsistent. If Yan Sheng goes to find Cao Jixiang, Tian Yuanwu will definitely get the news.

Cao Jixiang joined the Tian family after the Southern Chu army entered Yangzhou...

The Tian family knew that the credit for this achievement would definitely not go to him and the Jin Yiwei. Yan Sheng felt worried and simply stopped going. He took the two hundred government servants that Yuan Rui had raised for him, plus the guards and servants in the house, There are almost 400 people, and with the more than 200 Jin Yiwei under his command, 600 people should be enough to deal with some street rats.

Even if Nanya gets involved, they don't dare to show their face in Yangzhou City. They must not have any good people, and they have internal support.

If he succeeds in the first battle, not only will he be able to make great achievements, but he will also be promoted to a higher rank.

Originally, Ning Yurou went to the Jiangdu Palace in person. However, Luo Xing changed his strategy and asked Ning Yurou to help him restore his cultivation. He could only temporarily let Ling'er take over. Ling'er knew the inside story, and it was the same for her to go. Anyway, those No one has ever seen "Jiang Yurong" in person.

Luo Xing still arranged for Aunt Hua to accompany him for protection, and Jiang Yunjing also went with him.

Aunt Hua is also at the first level, so there should be no problem in protecting Ling'er's safety, but Ling'er's cultivation level is slightly lower and she has just entered the fourth level.
