Prime Minister take care

Chapter 145
"Master Marquis, the Shu army has withdrawn."

Standing on the gate of Wancheng, looking at the smoke in the fields outside the city, Cai Tong breathed a sigh of relief.It has been more than ten years since Cai Tong took control of Jingzhou, and he has dreamed of acquiring this Wancheng.

First Jin Xiu, then Huan Wu hindered Cai Tong's progress.But it's different now, the whole of Nanyang County, except Rang County, is already in the hands of Cai Tong.

After some bargaining, Cai Tong finally got [-] shi of food and grass from Yang Xian.The condition is that Cai Tong agrees to use Rang County as a garrison for the Shu army and allows the Shu army to mobilize ships from the waterways near Xiangcheng, Jingzhou.

"Yes! Yang Xian left, but Huan Wu is here."

The enemy is approaching, but there is not much nervousness in Cai Tong's voice.

Nanyang only has one county, but with a population of one million, it is one of the largest counties in the world.In order to protect himself, Duan Xiao of Nanyang constantly repaired the city defenses.Later, Jin Xiu and even Huan Wu also continued Duan Xiao's policy.

With the presence of Wancheng, it was equivalent to giving the Chu army a foothold in Nanyang. Even when Huan Wu arrived with an army of 20, Cai Tong also thought he had the strength to fight.

What's more, Huan Wu couldn't mobilize so many troops now.

Because of Huan Zhong's defeat and Jin Xin's surrender, Huan Wu suffered a complete defeat in Nanyang. Of the 13-strong army, [-] died under the sword of the Chu army.Half of the rest was in Yang Xian's hands, and the other half became Cai Tong's captives.Today, there are only about [-] Liang Jun beside Huan Zhong, and their number is still decreasing.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Liang Jun in Nanyang as being wiped out.After this defeat, even Huan Wu, who was sitting in the land of seven states, felt uncomfortable.

"Let Wenqing lead the army to hunt down Huan Zhong and ask him to bring Huan Zhong's head back to me."

Cai Tong's face became sinister, and his eyes overflowed with murderous intent.Cai Tong showed no mercy to his old rival.When Yang Xian let Huan Zhong go, he didn't have any good ideas.

Yang Xian wanted Huan Zhong to contain Cai Tong as long as he could, so that the Chu army would not have any extra energy to cause trouble to the Shu army.After all, it would be impossible for Yang Xian to transport hundreds of thousands of family members of the Black Dragon Army and all Wancheng's supplies to Yizhou without a few months.

But for Cai Tong, Huan Zhong was also a trouble that had to be removed.Huan Zhong has managed Wancheng for a long time and has a strong appeal.If he is alive, it will also be a huge threat to the Chu army.

The guard who delivered the order quickly left, and Cai Tong was the only one left in the city.He walked around the city, touching the old wall tiles and wood, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Wancheng is finally mine."

Jiuyu Mountain, Shenxiao Sect.

The clouds are misty and the cranes are singing in the sky.The flowers and herbs are fragrant and fragrant.

A woman in green clothes walked through the flower path and entered the hut in the forest.

Luo Jing, the head of the Shenxiao Sect, has lived in Youyuan for a long time, and all the affairs of the sect have been left to his disciple Lin Suqing and several elders of the sect.

Lin Suqing is over forty this year, but she looks like a girl.Elegant and simple, transcendent.She opened the door and found Luo Jing sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Luo Jing, with his cigarette smoke curling up, his beard and hair all white, and wearing a Taoist uniform, slowly opened his eyes and looked at his most proud disciple.

"How is the battle at the foot of the mountain?"

"Qi reported that the Liang army was completely defeated. After Yang Xian occupied Wancheng, he gave it to Cai Tong, and he led the army back to Rang County. Now Huan Zhong leads the defeated army. There is no way to go to heaven. Di Wumen is being hunted by the Chu army.”

Luo Jing smiled slightly and said: "This Yang Xian is really interesting." "I heard that Yang Xian once went to Liangzhou, and the affairs of Moji Sect have a lot to do with him."

The Shenxiao Sect is a giant in the art lineage, and the Moji Sect is also now.But the two are completely opposite in terms of concepts and other aspects.

For the sake of orthodoxy, there have been countless battles between the Shenxiao faction and the Moji sect.

"The ability of Moji Sect to become the giant in Liangzhou it is today is closely related to the hundreds of years of hard work of its ancestors. But without Meng Xuan, it would not be that easy for Moji Sect to become the behemoth it is today."

When Luo Jing said this, he sighed.

"When you two joined our Shenxiao sect one after another, both you and Meng Xuan were my valued disciples. Unfortunately, if it weren't for Zhong Buqi, it wouldn't be like this."

When talking about Zhong Buqi, Lin Suqing's eyes became a little dim.Now the name of Lingxiao Sword Master has become a taboo among the Shenxiao Sect.

No one dared to mention this name in front of Lin Suqing, and only Luo Jing said a few words in passing while reminiscing about the past.

"Meng Xuan is a scoundrel. He is a descendant of the art lineage, but he wants to learn the sword energy of the mountain lineage. That's all. He is not good at learning, and he actually betrayed his master and joined the Demon Ji Sect."

When Luo Jing said this, there was deep regret and unwillingness in his tone.Meng Xuan was originally Luo Jing's most valued disciple. Unfortunately, when he was young, he was too arrogant and relied on his talent, wanting to know the best of hundreds of schools of thought.Luo Jing originally wanted to sharpen his temperament, so he asked Meng Xuan to stay with his friend Yu Xiuyuan for three years to practice swordsmanship.

But this was also the decision that Luo Jing regretted most in his life.

Forget the past.Seeing the lonely look of the disciple in front of him, Luo Jing sighed softly.

"Su Qing, order to go down. Huan Wu's soldiers and horses will meet Huan Zhong's remaining soldiers. Open a gap in our faction's territory to let them pass."

Jiuyu Mountain is located between Nanyang County and Yuzhou.At this moment, the main road from Nanyang to the Central Plains has been cut off by Cai Tong.If Huan Zhong wanted to withdraw with [-] Liang troops, he had to forcefully pass through Mount Jiuyu.

Lin Suqing was a little confused and asked: "Master, my monks never interfere in the disputes between princes. Why do you want to make an exception this time?"

"Because Huan Wu offered me a price I couldn't refuse."

Luo Jing smiled slightly, and explained in a tone that didn't seem like a monk should use.

"Price?"

Luo Jing took out a square seal from his wide sleeves with a dark purple giant crystal on it.

"Fantianyin?"

Lin Su let out a sigh, but she didn't expect that this magical weapon was actually in Huan Wu's hand.

"Nowadays, there are only a few weapon refiners who can make Fantian Seal. It really surprises me that Huan Wu has one in his hands. Everyone in the world says that we monks should have no desires and desires. In fact, it is just a misunderstanding. Su Qing, Huan Zhong led the army Immediately seal the mountain gate after leaving. I will sacrifice and refine this Fang Fan Tian Seal with several of your master uncles to perfect the sect's formation. A big change may be coming in an instant, and our Shenxiao sect can compete for a moment. "

"Yes, Master!"
