Chapter 718: Evil Tricks

Ten days after the crusade against Xiangyang, Zhu Yuanzhang launched a military operation to press Bianliang in the north, and ordered the Chang Yuchun vanguard army to be the leader, slowly entered the territory of Bianliang, and stationed at the foot of Liangweng Mountain, more than ten miles east of Bianliang.

Liang Wengshan is very familiar with the generals in the vanguard barracks, especially Xiao Tian and Su Jia, and it can be said that the "love road of the rivers and lakes" of the two began here. And Xiao Tian's inheritance, Gao Ying's predecessor, one of the four saints of martial arts, also lived in seclusion here. Now that the army is stationed at the foot of Liang Weng Mountain, Xiao Su and the others naturally don't want the war to disturb the peace of Gao's predecessors......

The Ming army has been acting for a long time, and the Mengyuan forces as the enemy are naturally clear. And Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Lu Jing to accompany him before, just to persuade Bianliang to guard Zuo Junbi's plan. After so many days, Zuo Junbi should have received an "invitation" to send an envoy to negotiate, and the success of the negotiation of persuasion is related to whether the Battle of Bianliang suffered from the flames of war......

However, on the Bianliang side, the confrontation between the two sides is tense, but there seems to be a "third party" who wants to interfere with it......

In front of Bianliang City, under the setting sun, the afterglow reflects the entire city, giving people endless intoxication and whims. It's a pity that the war is in front and the cold soldiers are in front of each other, this drunken beauty may be the last beauty of this prosperous city, and it may soon be replaced by the ruthless war and the red of blood......

Under the slanting shadow of the setting sun, a column of Mengyuan troops slowly marched in the direction of Bianliang. The face of the leading general is not unfamiliar, and a sly smile sometimes appears under the cold-blooded expression. This person is none other than Wuliang Todo, who had been fighting with the vanguard army for a long time, and at this moment he led his troops to Bianliang, and it seemed that he had a plan......

"General, the enemy's army is pressing the border, and now it is at the foot of Liangweng Mountain, we have only come to Bianliang now to communicate with the garrison troops, there is really a way to ...... Do you want to defend the city?" asked the soldier beside Uliang Todo, suddenly.

Uliang Todo smiled slightly, and responded coldly: "Have you forgotten the order given by Lord Timur? The purpose of our trip is to deal with the vanguard troops of Chang Yuchun, and whether the defense of Bianliang will succeed or fail, what does it matter?" In fact, it was an order from Timur to expand the country, and it was also a strategy made by Uliang Todo himself -- from the very beginning, the purpose of Uliang Todo was not to assist in defending the city, but to deal with the vanguard army under the command of Tang Zhan.

"You, General...... What can be done?" the cronies asked again.

"You'll know when the time comes......" Ura Todo smiled coldly at first, and then seemed to have other scruples in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "But what I really want is not how to deal with Chang Yuchun's vanguard, but ......"

"Newspaper-" As he spoke, a soldier flew from the far side, his footwork was extremely fast, and it seemed that his martial arts skills were a bit strong. He is an elite subordinate secretly cultivated by Uliang Todo, but this time he was sent on a mission such as reconnaissance news, which shows that this news is extremely important to Uliang Todo.

"It's coming—" Uliang Todo smiled, as if he had finally waited for the information he wanted.

"Report to the general—" the soldier continued, "the villain has found out that the group that has been following the vanguard troops in the last few days is a disciple of the Emei faction—"

"Emei faction, oh......" Wuliang Tuoduo nodded subconsciously and answered softly.

The soldier continued: "The villain also learned from the spies that in the battle of Xiangyang not long ago, the disciples of the Emei faction had attacked the vanguard military camp, and had a battle with Zhao Zichuan, Li Yuru and others in the army, and finally retreated in defeat......

"I see, I understand...... Wuliang Tuoduo, who got the news, suddenly realized, nodded and said, "No wonder Zhao Zichuan didn't show up in the first battle of Xiangyang, it turned out that he stayed in the military camp to deal with the disciples of the Emei faction...... The Emei faction is a famous family in the rivers and lakes, and since it took the initiative to sneak attack the army, it must have a grudge with someone in the army. At that time, the main force of the vanguard army was fighting fiercely with our army in Xiangyang, and only Zhao Zichuan and Li Yuru remained in the camp...... In this way, the goal of the Emei faction is that the two of them can't be wrong......" Uliang Todo said to himself, as he seemed to be brewing a trick.

"General, the villain also heard a very important news about the enemy general Zhao Zichuan-" The soldier did not finish speaking, and continued to report.

"What news?" As long as it was news related to Zhao Zichuan, Wuliang Tuoduo was very sensitive and couldn't wait to ask.

"Zhao Zichuan and Li Yuru are a couple, they have a newborn son in the camp......" the soldier continued, "According to our army's eyeline, when the Emei faction attacked the enemy camp, they took the couple's son hostage, but later failed......"

Wuliang Tuoduo closed his eyes and thought about it, and then said to himself: "In this way, Zhao Zichuan's son will be a burden to him on the march and fight...... The Emei faction also saw this, and followed the vanguard troops all the way to this point, intending to find another opportunity to attack...... Hmph, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, why don't we take advantage of this and use the hand of the Emei faction to deal with Zhao Zichuan?"

"What do you mean by ......," the soldier asked again.

"The enemy army has been stationed at the foot of Liangweng Mountain, and the confrontation between the two armies is about to break out, and if the Emei faction wants to act, I'm afraid it's best tonight......" Wuliang Tuoduo said with a sly smile, "In that case, let's just come to 'sit on the mountain and watch the tiger' and enjoy the benefits...... But before that, we have to go to Bianliang to complete the task assigned by Lord Timur......"

"But that's ...... Is there any time?" the soldier asked, a little worried.

"Don't worry, since you want to attack Zhao Zichuan's son, the Emei faction has always acted cautiously, and will definitely make sure that nothing goes wrong before acting......" Wuliang Tuoduo looked back at the Bianliang City Gate in front of him, "Going to Bianliang is just to notify the task, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us, hum ......" Wuliang Tuoduo's eyes were hideous, and he seemed to have a malicious plan in his heart......

Liangweng Mountain Forest ......

It was getting late, and the rocks halfway through the mountains and forests, looking down from above, the lights of the vanguard army barracks were in full view. However, at this moment, there are about dozens of people who are prostrate here, all of them are slender and slender - what Meng Yuan Scout said is right, they are the disciples of the Emei faction who have followed the vanguard army all the way here, and the people of Aojing Shitai and Hualing Qingxue are all there.

The vanguard troops went all the way north from Xiangyang to Bianliang, and the Emei faction also secretly followed. The sneak attack on the military camp was missed before, and the Emei faction still held a grudge. After these days of recuperation, Hua Ling and the others, who were seriously injured before, have also recovered nine times out of ten, and now the vanguard army is pressing Bianliang, seeing that the big war is imminent, Ao Jing Shi wants to take this opportunity to add another incident. And now this mountainside of Liang Weng Mountain has naturally become the temporary "base" of the Emei faction......

"Master, I've found out ......" While quietly watching, the disciple Yueli ran from the bottom of the mountain and hurriedly said, "The vanguard troops and the defenders of Bianliang may fight at any time, tonight Zhao Zichuan and other cavalry generals received Chang Yuchun's order and went out of the camp to arrange the deployment and support of the cavalry army......"

"In other words, Zhao Zichuan is not in the barracks tonight......" Ao Jing Shi Tai hadn't spoken yet, Hua Ling responded first, "It's just right, Li Yu is weak tonight, and seizing her is the best opportunity...... Although we were unable to fight Zhao Zichuan again to avenge the last broken formation, as long as we can catch Li Yuru, our goal will be achieved......"

"Don't let the momentary anger disrupt the rhythm, have you forgotten your original plan for tonight?" said Master Aojing in a whispered reproach.

Hua Ling nodded, and put away her usual arrogance in front of her master and said, "Yes, the disciple should keep it in mind...... Tonight, the people and horses are divided into four parts, first of all, Lan Xin led the disciples to shout at the camp gate to lure the main force patrolling the camp out; if you don't take the tiger out of the mountain, Zhu Yun and Yueli will take the second team of disciples to raid from the main gate, if you don't succeed in delaying time; and then Shizun, you personally sneak in from the side camp, take advantage of your attention at the main camp gate, sneak into the back camp and sneak into Li Yuru; if you encounter another master's block, Shizun uses your martial arts to attract the master in the camp to leave, Qingxue will take the disciples to sneak in from the side camp again, and then catch Li Yuru or her son as quickly as possible......”

Master Ao Jing thought about it for a while, and then said: "The first three steps, although we have attracted all the masters in the camp, we are not manpowered, and we may not be able to gain the upper hand against Li Yuru in the end...... The last step is Qingxue's sneak attack, find a way to capture Li Yuru's son, take him hostage, and then let her go alone to the woods of Liang Weng Mountain, threatening her that if she doesn't go back with us, she will kill her son......!

"Yes, Master-" Qingxue agreed in a low voice on the surface, but in her heart she was secretly thinking about how to save Li Yuru.

However, at this time, I don't know whether it was out of jealousy or suspicion, Hua Ling glanced at Qingxue inexplicably, and then asked Aojing Shitai: "Master, is it really foolproof to let Qingxue lead people to implement the last step of the plan?"

"What do you mean?" Qingxue knew that Hua Ling was suspicious of herself, and couldn't help but ask coldly.

"Last time, I originally kidnapped Li Yuru's son, but in the end, I was held hostage by her because of your negligence, Senior Sister, with your martial arts, shouldn't it be like this......" Hua Ling said sarcastically and doubtfully, "Is it really your inability, or is it something else......

"Hmph, are you doubting me?" asked Qingxue without showing weakness.

"What do you think?" Hua Ling was not polite at all, and asked rhetorically with a knife hidden in her smile.

"That's enough!-" The two of them were secretly planning again, and Master Aojing couldn't help but drink, but thinking that it was not far from the position of the pioneer battalion, he was afraid that the soldiers who might patrol outside the camp would hear it, so he immediately said secretly, "Now is the critical moment of the plan, not to let the two of you quarrel...... That's it, since each of you is not at ease, Hua Ling, you can act with Qingxue-"

"Xie Shizun-" Hua Ling first thanked her, then looked at Qingxue and sneered, "Senior sister, thank you for accompanying you this time, even if you are negligent this time, I will help you out of the siege......"

"Hmph, whatever you want-" Qing Xue replied angrily, but her heart was secretly blocked-she knew very well that this time Hua Ling intervened, and it would be more difficult to secretly help Li Yuru......

The night is getting dark, and the Bianliang City Mansion is ......

"Zhu Yuanzhang asked me to personally bring people to negotiate as an envoy tonight......" In the general's mansion, Taishou Zuo Junbi received an "invitation letter" from Zhu Yuanzhang and was discussing how to deal with it. Sitting in the audience were the commander Wang Gubu Zatai, the deputy general Wuliang Habel, and the general Wang Dasheng.

Wang Gubu Zatai has always given advice to Zuo Junbi, and Wuliang Haborle is the deputy envoy, as for Wang Dasheng, he has always only obeyed and carried out orders, but he still maintains a cold-blooded killer attitude every day, exactly the same as two years ago.

"If it is just a negotiation, it is unlikely to be dangerous; for fear that the negotiations will break down, Zhu Yuanzhang is anxious for a while, and waves his troops towards Bianliang ......," Wang Gubu said in an analysis, "On the side of Timur, reinforcements have been sent to rescue, but the time is a little longer...... As the Admiral can see, you should go and negotiate and try to buy time for reinforcements to arrive—"

"Well, Zuo thinks so too...... Zuo Junbi nodded, and he couldn't help but say that he was concerned about the people's livelihood, "You can't let the people of Bianliang be exposed to the war too early, the later the war starts, the better...... Tonight, I will go with the envoys to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other affairs in the city will be handed over to Lord Wang Gubu and the generals——"

"Don't worry, my lord, just leave the city to us—" Wang Gubu replied confidently.

Zuo Junbi nodded reassuringly, and ordered his subordinates to retreat, while he prepared to go out of the city to negotiate......

After Wang Dasheng left the general's mansion, he went straight back to his mansion. As a general of the first army, Wang Dasheng acted according to orders, entered and exited the palace, but never brought guards. Of course, Wang Dasheng has strong martial arts and is ruthless, and no one dares to sneak attack secretly. Even if he appeared in front of Wang Dasheng, he usually spoke or reported the situation, looking at Wang Dasheng's cold-blooded killer expression, he would be scared and tremble......

Wang Dasheng returned to his house, but stopped. The general's mansion in front of him is pitch black, and it stands to reason that there should be no one to ......

"It's not a small amount of courage, dare to hide in front of the general's house, except for the disciples of the Xiao family and Miss Su two years ago, no one has this courage......" Wang Dasheng's sense of smell was extremely keen, and he sensed that someone was "ambushing" at the door of his house, and said coldly with murderous aura.

"It's really worthy of General Wang, and his sense of martial arts is still so keen......" As he was saying, the person who was "hiding" behind the door clapped his hands and walked out - this person turned out to be Wuliang Tuoduo, it turned out that he and Wang Dasheng had always had a good friendship, "The three masters of martial arts in the Western Regions - 'Quick Knife' Hu Yidi, 'Cold Spear' Tong Chen, and 'Iron Hand' Wang Dasheng...... General Wang really has a keen sense of smell, I haven't seen him for so many years, and his kung fu has not been left behind...... "It seems that Wuliang Tuoduo is also familiar with the masters of the Western Regions martial arts - Hu Yidi, Tong Chen and Wang Dasheng are indeed respected as the "three masters of the Western Regions martial arts".

"It's you...... Hmph, isn't General Wuliang stationed in Xiangyang? Why, after losing the battle, he came to me?" Wang Dasheng sneered unceremoniously.

"I won't talk about the defeat...... Time is pressing, and to get back to business, I have come this time to issue a military order to the Bianliang side on the order of Lord Timur -- "Uliang Todo is straightforward.

However, Wang Dasheng sneered and asked, "You should find Zuo Jun Bi Zuo for this matter, why did you come to me?"

Wuliang Todo also sneered and responded: "Because I know that Lord Zuo will not come back this time......"

"What do you mean?" asked Wang Dasheng with a look in his eyes.

"It seems that General Wang's martial arts are unfathomable, but his mind is still a little ......," Wuliang Tuoduo continued, "Zuo Junbi received the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and Lord Zuo was a 'good minister' who cared about the people, this time Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to negotiate, do you really think it was a military negotiation? Wrong, Zhu Yuanzhang's real purpose is to surrender ......."

"Surrender?" Wang Dasheng asked coldly.

Wuliang Tuoduo continued: "That's right, if Zhu Yuanzhang is kind to Lord Zuo, and Lord Zuo doesn't want the people of Bianliang to suffer from the flames of war, you should know the result......

"What if it's clear...... who knows, but Wang Dasheng doesn't care about it, "What does it have to do with me whether the war is fought or not? Although I am a main battle faction, I was born in the Western Regions, and I like to be free and easy. If it weren't for Lord Zuo's kindness to me back then, I wouldn't have been a cow and a horse for him, and I would have led an army......"

"No, no, no, no, General Wang, you are warlike in your bones, and you won't let Lord Zuo surrender like this......" Wuliang Tuoduo deliberately shook his head and smiled.

"Hmph, how do you know? Tell you, I, Wang Dasheng, hate other people's smug expressions the most, and then pretend to be clever in front of me to make an appearance of understanding me...... If I'm unhappy, whoever I want to kill will be a snap of a finger, even if you have a relationship with me......" Wang Dasheng's tone was extremely cold, not at all emotional, as if he wanted to kill Wuliang Todo, not joking.

However, Ura Todo's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to sneer: "It's easy to kill me, but it's not cost-effective...... There are two people, I believe that General Wang, you must want to kill more, this is definitely not wrong......"

"Are you still making your own claims...... Wang Dasheng's eyes were already full of murderous intent, and it seemed that if Wuliang Tuoduo dared to say more, he would come forward and ask for Wuliang Tuoduo's life.

"Isn't it?Xiao Tian, and Su Jia......" Wuliang Tuoduo looked at Wang Dasheng squarely, and spit out the names of Xiao Tian and Su Jia word by word, "These two people, General Wang should want to kill them more......"

Sure enough, hearing these two people, Wang Dasheng was stunned. "What do you say, they're still alive? This ...... This is impossible-" Wang Dasheng made a rarely panicked expression, gritted his teeth and said to himself, "I still believe that the disciple of the Xiao family is not dead, but Miss Su Jiasu ...... Absolutely impossible, I already killed her two years ago...... No, she committed suicide by jumping off a cliff herself, how could she still be alive?"

Wuliang Tuoduo continued to sneer: "She is indeed alive, not dead, and now she is with Xiao Tian, together in Zhu Yuanzhang's army...... How's it going, when you hear the news, do you get excited all of a sudden?"

"You mean, the two of them are now in Zhu Yuanzhang's formation, ready to wave their troops to attack Bianliang, right...... Hmph, hum, hum, hum......" Wang Dasheng retracted his surprise, clenched his hands into fists, and a suffocating murderous aura emanated, "Okay, very good, it's been two years, and they are all still alive...... Great, the two of them are the most delicious prey I've ever seen in my life, and they have the same backbone. It's a pity that two years ago, a waste and a suicide were not happy...... It's been two years, I didn't expect to kill them again, this time, I must kill them with my own hands, so that these two hard-working mandarin ducks can wash their faces with blood!"

Seeing that the success had angered Wang Dasheng, Wuliang Tuoduo immediately continued to sneer: "So General Wang, what about your decision, is it to fight or surrender?"

"Of course it's a battle!" Wang Dasheng said murderously, "Don't worry, I will inform Lord Wang Gubu, as long as Zuo Junbi has the heart to surrender, I will definitely let him deal with it in advance...... This battle must be fought, whether it is on the battlefield or after the war, I must kill Xiao Tian and Su Jia with my own hands!"

"It's good that General Wang knows......" Uliang Todo first sneered, but he didn't forget the task he had originally come for, so he continued, "Then Lord Timur's order, I also hope that General Wang can complete it......"

"What task?" Wang Dasheng continued.

Wuliang Tuo paused for a moment, and then responded in a terrifying tone: "Destroy - Nangong Murong!"

"Destroy the Nangong Murong family?" Wang Dasheng didn't know the reason for Wuliang Tuoduo, and said in surprise, "But there is no legitimate reason, Nangong Murong is a martial arts family, how can he destroy it?"

"It's none of my business, this is the order that Lord Timur asked me to convey to the general......" Uliang Tuoduo smiled coldly, then turned around and said, "Okay, I have other things to leave in advance, whether this battle can be as General Wang wishes in his heart, it all depends on the general yourself, hahahaha......" After speaking, Uliang Tuoduo laughed and walked away.

Wang Dasheng looked at the back of Wuliang Tuoduo leaving, and his heart was excited for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
