"In the past two months, Nanzhou, Linzhou, Yunzhou..., these five states have mobilized their troops frequently. Our spies came to report that the governor of Nanzhou was temporarily appointed as the "Hussian General" and wanted to mobilize the troops of the five states.
, captured Cangzhou in one fell swoop."
Wei Liang stood in front of a huge sand table, with five flags placed around a dune with "Cangzhou" written on it.
He pointed to the middle one, drew a line with a branch, and said: "The five states can temporarily mobilize more than 20,000 troops. They have been secretly deploying them for two months, and they will not take more than half a month at most, and they will go straight to Cangzhou...
…”
…
Li Yi stood outside the door, listened to the analysis of the battle situation for a while, and walked away slowly without any major surprises.
I thought that the imperial court's counterattack would come very quickly, but who would have thought that he would go back to spend the New Year. Two or three months later, he would take Ruyi and the others to Cangzhou for vacation, and the other party was still in the process of dispatching troops.
Just transfer them, don't worry, there are more than 20,000 people, and as long as this number does not increase tenfold, Cangzhou will be fine.
After they captured Cangzhou a few months ago, they recruited a lot of people, and now the team has expanded to more than 10,000 people. During this period, Wei Liang and the others assigned some elite soldiers from hundreds of battles to conduct systematic training for the new recruits.
, when Li Yi went to the military camp again after two months, the appearance of the army had completely changed.
This joint attack by the five states is the determination of the Wu State court. For them, it is also a long-awaited opportunity.
Xu Zheng had already led people to those states a few years ago. Due to the tight security of the garrison in these states, there had been no major actions and could only be developed secretly. Miss Liu Er had also led people to subdue several rebel forces and kept an eye on them early.
Went to Zhoucheng...
Everything is ready, just waiting for them to call...
Not everything is ready, there are still a few scripts left, Goulan's new drama "Assassin's Biography" launched in Wu Kingdom is about to end.
In a certain state of Wu State, there was a teahouse outside the state city.
"Historical records say: When Zhuan Zhu stabbed Wang Liao, a comet hit the moon; when Nie Zheng stabbed the Han puppet, a white rainbow penetrated the sun; when Yao Li stabbed Qing Ji, a Cang Ying struck the palace..."
In a simple teahouse, an old man with a gray beard sat at the front, his voice rising and falling, "In ancient times, some powerful assassins even had celestial signs to warn them when they acted. It is said that when Zhuanzhu assassinated King Liao of Wu, a comet struck him.
The tail swept across the moon; when Nie Zheng assassinated Han Puppet, a white light shot straight into the sun; when he was about to assassinate Qing Ji, the goshawk flew to the palace... These three are the three assassins we are going to talk about today.
."
Although the teahouse was not overcrowded, there were still no empty seats.
There were ordinary people taking a break in the teahouse, as well as knights with swords and knives who were tired of the journey, but most of them were Jianghu people carrying weapons, and they were all attracted by the stories told by the old man.
When he heard something happy, he would take out a copper coin from his arms and put it in a broken bowl in front of the old man.
The rivers and lakes and the temples may seem far apart, but in fact they are also very closely connected.
What happens above the temple is closely related to Jianghu. Once the temple collapses, Jianghu will not be able to survive alone.
The martial state favors martial arts, whether it is the poor, the nobles, or even the powerful royal family. Although it is not said that martial arts is valued over literature, the rejection and contempt of warriors is far less than that of other countries.
When the country was stable, there were still knights killing people on the street. Now that the country is in chaos, the water in the rivers and lakes, which was not very clear, has become even more turbid.
The so-called knights and righteous men rely on personal force, despise the law, treat human life as nothing, pay for murders, offer rewards for assassinations... and are repeatedly banned.
Because of Chongwu, he was naturally very interested in the stories of Jianghu.
These days, heroic stories circulated in Goulan and storytelling taverns in various states are very popular in the world.
What this old man is talking about is "The Biography of Assassins", which contains dozens of stories about assassins from ancient and modern times. They are not just thin stories about knights in the martial arts world. They may involve the righteousness of brothers, the love between men and women, and there are many great knights.
, the love of family and country for the country and the people...
At the same time, an assassin list was circulated in the martial arts arena. Those recorded on the list were all famous assassins of the Wu Kingdom. Later, their life stories and reasons for being on the list were listed in detail...
These things have been circulated in the martial arts world before, but no one has ever put these things together and made such a ranking.
There are ten rankings on the list, and there are only nine assassins. No one knows who made this list, but almost everyone knows the sentence that was circulated along with this list.
There are only ten positions on the assassin list. Only these ten people can be called assassins. Those who cannot even be on the assassin list are not assassins, but garbage!
The reason why there are only nine assassins on the list is because the top spot on the assassin list is empty, with only a small line of poetry.
"Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuangxue Ming.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
Hello."
This is a poem describing knights. It is said that there were many knights in Yanzhao in ancient times. This poem describes the style of knights in Yanzhao.
The hat is dotted with Hu Ying, and the Wu-hook sword is as bright as frost and snow; the silver saddle and the white horse reflect each other, and they gallop like rustling meteors; within ten steps, a person can be killed for sure, and the pass of a thousand miles cannot be left behind; when the matter is over, the clothes are brushed
Go away without leaving a trace and hiding your identity.
This poem describes a knight or assassin at his peak.
Kill one person in ten steps, leaving nothing behind in the previous one.
Hello……
This is the assassin, the most advanced assassin. According to the person who made the assassin list, this poem was written for the top of the assassin list. It has been waiting, waiting for someone to ascend to that position and be worthy of this.
A few lines of poetry.
As the old man narrated, excitement appeared on the faces of many people in the teahouse.
Topping the assassin list is almost the greatest honor for a knight or assassin...
In the corner, two people were talking quietly.
"It is said that Princess Duanrong's bounty has been increased by fifty thousand, which is a total of thirty-five taels of silver. If she can get it, she should be qualified to top the assassin list, right?"
"There has never been such a high reward. If this is not possible, who else is qualified?"
"I don't know how many people have gathered in Cangzhou. They have the same goal as ours. It's easier said than done to succeed?"
…
While the two were chatting quietly, a chuckle suddenly came from beside them.
"What are you two talking about? When were you old people..." A man with a knife at the next table turned to look at them and said: "On the reward list, the highest reward is one million silver, ten magic soldiers.
You can be favored by storytellers, help you become famous, get guidance from a master, and make you reach the top of the assassin list - you two must not pay attention to current affairs often, right?"
In the corner, there was a person who was startled and said with a smile: "Brother, you are probably dreaming about millions of silver, ten magic weapons, and the guidance of a grandmaster... Whose head is worth so much silver? Are you meeting someone like this?"
Have you become a charlatan?"
The other one nodded and said: "Everyone knows that the reward for Princess Duanrong was actually given by the emperor. Is there anyone in this Wu Kingdom who has more financial resources and is more trustworthy than the emperor?"
Hearing this, the man smiled and said: "If I were to be believed today, the rebels who were recruited by the imperial court to surround and suppress Princess Duanrong would not have disappeared in the imperial capital..."
The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and asked: "So, is there any evidence for what you said?"
"Those one million silver taels and ten magic weapons have been verified by ten famous figures in the world. If you go out and ask around, you will know..."
The two of them still didn't believe it, and asked suspiciously: "Whose head is so valuable in this world?"
The man pointed to the sky.
The two were startled again, and then their expressions changed at the same time. One person looked frightened and asked: "Who dares to assassinate the emperor after eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"
"That's all for today." Ahead, the old man cleaned up the stall and said, "Tomorrow we will talk about "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin"..."
He waved his hand below and said: "It's still the same time, it's still the same place, we'll see you there..."
