Those nobles who had conflicts of interest with Song Zheng and wanted him to die on the way to Beijing were secretly resentful and cursed the Qiu Ba of Beishan Camp and Hulang Camp: A bunch of idiots, why do they have to divide their troops to guard them? Five elite soldiers and those in the
Killing them all at one place will surely eliminate Song Zheng, the terrifying fighting beast Xiuqi, in advance.
Sending them up one by one, isn't this helping Song Zheng train his troops?
But they didn't know that whether it was the puppet soldiers, the sky-shattering chariot, the flying sword army, or the large formation soldiers, or the violent tiger army, they were all the best among the best. How could they shamelessly besiege a new army?
And at the beginning, everyone underestimated Song Zheng, thinking that any one of them could defeat him, so they divided their troops to guard Song Zheng in order to let Song Zheng break through layer by layer and completely consume his 1,500 fighting beasts.
, striving to allow Song Zheng to enter the capital alone.
After Song Zheng destroyed the puppet soldiers and the sky-shattering chariot one after another, they quickly reacted and began to join forces with each other, but they were still no match for Song Zheng.
It's not that they are too stupid, it's just that their opponents are too strong.
The nobles lived like a duck in water in the capital. They had ruled the city for generations and were aloof. The capital was their pond. But now, Song Zheng is coming, making those nobles feel like a shark is about to swim into the pond.
For a time, people in the capital were panicked, and many powerful people were considering whether to change their stance and not get so close to the Queen Mother or the Chief Assistant.
But they also considered that Song Zheng had no strong men to control the country, and he was inherently weaker than the Queen Mother and the Chief Assistant.
…
The Fighting Beast Xiuqi traveled another few hundred miles, and encountered three waves of resistance on the way, all of which were easily defeated by the Fighting Beast Xiuqi. A few days later, they had arrived at the important town "Houting" three hundred miles south of the capital.
Houting was originally a small town, but its location was important. In order to defend the capital, the Hongwu Dynasty built a majestic pass called "Houting Pass" in a valley thirty miles north of Houting Town.
The status of Houtingguan in Hongwu is similar to Liequanguan in the north.
After passing Houting Pass and heading north all the way to the capital, there is no danger to defend along the hundreds of miles.
In the past few days, the Fighting Beast Xiuqi has killed sixteen troops who came to stop them. Some of them are powerful, and some are just trying to make up for it by overestimating their own abilities.
It is said that seven or eight teams saw the situation going badly and ran away early.
Hong Tiancheng commanded 1,500 fighting beast warriors and maintained an astonishing record of annihilating all enemy forces in battle without losing any of his own troops. Fighting all the way to Houting Pass, the entire army was already burning with pride.
When Song Zheng arrived at Houting Town, the capital was in front of him. However, he was not very happy about the successive victories along the way. He said to his subordinates: "Are the results brilliant? The obstacles on the road are real swords and guns.
Fighting is actually very easy, the real difficulty comes after we enter the capital."
Song Zheng was well aware of the situation in the capital.
The two ancestors of Long Yiwei once assisted Xiao Zhen, but they would definitely not follow a newcomer like him. Without the protection of the powerful Zhengguo, Song Zheng was naturally weak in the face of the Queen Mother and Huang Yuanhe.
And except when facing Skyfire, he has never been weak.
A group of people appeared on the road ahead, standing on the roadside waiting. Hong Tiancheng sent someone to inquire and came back to report to Song Zheng: "Your Excellency, we are the chief of Houting Town, bringing the elders and monks in the town to greet them.
Your."
Song Zheng nodded: "Go and tell them that we will not enter the town and will only camp outside the town."
"As commanded."
After Hong Tiancheng sent someone to talk, those people were obviously relieved. When the army entered the city, it would be difficult for Qiu to commit no crime. The location of Houting Town is critical and the town is rich. If there are soldiers who are jealous of money, it will definitely be a disaster.
A disaster.
After receiving Song Zheng's guarantee, those people thanked them repeatedly. Not long after, the people sent by Hong Tiancheng came back, bringing back gifts from everyone in Houting Town and a message: "Sir, the Forbidden Army Beast Fighting Cavalry Department
The First Battalion just entered Houting Pass this morning."
Song Zheng was surprised: "Is this coming for us?"
He estimated the time: "We entered this morning, which means we may have just set off from the capital last night."
…
Mao Zhengdao was playing in the "Lanyue Tower", the famous gold-selling cave in the capital, with seven or eight friends, dozens of famous female prostitutes in the building, and several actors and actresses. The wanton and sinister laughter kept coming, and Mao Zhengdao was intoxicated with money.
.
No one fucking knows what Mao Zhengdao went through in the northern battlefield. He had a long scar on his back, extending from the back of his neck to the left buttocks.
If his family hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect him, he wouldn't have been able to come back.
But in order to save him, nineteen families will stay on the battlefield forever. The Mao family will take care of their families and ensure that their children will receive excellent teachings and embark on the path of spiritual practice...
But on the battlefield, the relationship between Mao Zhengdao and these generals was no longer a simple master-servant relationship. No matter what their status was, after everyone was born and died together many times, there would only be one kind of relationship left: Pao Ze!
They died, and Mao Zhengdao came back. He was very lucky that he was the one who came back, otherwise none of the generals would survive, and his family members would be implicated.
But the scar in Mao Zhengdao's heart was bigger than the one on his back. It was torn open and is still bleeding. It will take hundreds of years to heal.
During the day, he was like a wooden man. He went to fight beasts and repair horses every day as usual. After he finished his errands, he drank heavily and caroused. He was so drunk that he couldn't fall asleep every day.
For the powerful people in the DPRK, such as the Queen Mother and the Chief Assistant, war is just an extension of politics. They can use various means to make the war beneficial to themselves.
But for those who have actually participated in the war, they truly understand what war is.
At this time, with his drunken eyes and blurry eyes, he looked at the singer who was performing a song and dance, leaning back among a group of pink women in light gauze, with a soft fragrance and sweet voices.
But I feel lonely.
If you haven’t drank enough wine, you won’t feel so much if you drink enough.
Suddenly, a homophonic bone talisman shone with aura. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the aura persisted. He glanced at it impatiently and was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked out.
After finding a quiet room, he pinched the homophonic bone talisman and asked, "Song Zheng?"
Song Zheng's voice came: "I want to ask something."
Mao Zhengdao shouted with an exaggerated expression: "My family has strictly ordered me to keep my distance from you!"
Song Zheng laughed loudly and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"What do I plan to do?" Mao Zhengdao sneered: "I plan to go to hell!" Song Zheng laughed again, and Mao Zhengdao sighed and said: "After I came back from the battlefield, I really saw everything...
…”
Song Zheng had no way to comfort him about this matter. Even though Mr. Song was now at the level of his ancestors, if he really went to the battlefield, the result might not be better than Mao Zhengdao. Unless he reached the level of a powerful person who ruled the country, for anyone
, war is a huge harm.
Mao Zhengdao gathered his thoughts and asked Song Zheng: "What do you want from me?"
"What's going on with the First Battalion of Fighting Beast Cultivators?"
Mao Zhengdao understood and said: "Fang Fake, the general of the first battalion, has always been loyal to the emperor. There have been rumors in the capital that he is the only military commander the emperor trusted in the entire Hongwu Dynasty. The cultivation level in the late Xuantong realm, the distance
It is not far away to become the peak ancestor. The emperor is stupid and ignorant, but for some reason, Fang Fake has always been excellent. The old soldiers in the army are secretly cursing in private. The emperor forced the real military god General Helian to death, but put the real military god General Helian to death.
A warrior who only knows how to run rampant becomes the commander-in-chief!
After the emperor fell into coma, Fang Fake has been keeping a low profile. This time, the three major forces in the capital, Beishan Camp, Tiger Wolf Camp and the Forbidden Army, are very dissatisfied with you leading troops into the capital. The military leaders, big and small, secretly discussed many times to send you to the capital.
If you are blocking the way, it would be best to kill all the 1,500 fighting beast warriors under your command, allowing you to enter the capital alone.
But those who made the noise were Beishan Camp and Hulang Camp. The Forbidden Army seemed to be more restrained, probably because of the Queen Mother's relationship. Fang Fake had no intention of taking action.
But I heard that last night, Shang Jiuzuo, the boss of Guangde Hall in the capital, visited Fang Fake, and then the first battalion of the Forbidden Army's Fighting Beast Cavalry set off overnight and stationed at Houting Pass this morning."
Song Zheng frowned and asked, "What kind of force is Guangdetang?"
"They are the largest elixir hall in the capital. Their business covers the entire Hongwu. It is said that there are also many semicolons in Huaxu and Chuxiong."
Song Zheng understood: "Because of Princess Dongyang?"
"It's very possible." Mao Zhengdao said: "I heard that Guangde Tang had been cooperating with Princess Dongyang before. The exotic flowers and herbs produced in Mianzhou were refined into elixirs by Guangde Tang and sold all over the world.
Controlling the place where the best elixirs are produced in the entire Hongwu Dynasty is of great significance to Guangde Tang. But once Princess Dongyang dies, I'm afraid you will no longer pay attention to Guangde Tang. It is only natural for Shang Jiuzuo to hold a grudge."
He paused and then said: "I guess Shang Jiuzuo promised the elixir that can revive His Majesty in exchange for Fang Fake's help."
Song Zheng nodded: "Song has recorded this favor."
After talking to Mao Zhengdao, he contacted Qi Bingchen and "Wu Chaoyi" respectively to understand the details of each place.
From Long Yiwei, he learned that Guangde Hall's total assets exceeded 100 billion yuan in jade, and it was a commercial giant in the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty and even on the entire east bank of the Ling River.
This giant beast supposedly belonged to Princess Dongyang. But when Princess Dongyang fell, for some reason the Queen Mother actually "let go" Guangdetang.
Given the temperament of the Queen Mother and Huang Tianli Shengjiao, they should not be so kind. There must be a reason.
Wu Chaoyi is basically Song Zheng, but Song Zheng does not focus on Wu Chaoyi on weekdays. When he needs to know something, he will search Wu Chaoyi's mind.
