Hearing this, Tao Ran nodded and said angrily: "Then Shen Yan somehow transformed into Lu Zhiying's direct disciple and one of the mainstays of the Lantai School.
Later, everyone in the Lantai School rebelled. Shen Yan directly gave my family a reputation as an unkind person who killed servants for fun, and then led troops to attack my Tao family.
The huge Tao family disappeared overnight, and now I am the only surviving direct descendant of the Tao family."
When he said this, he showed a ferocious expression: "That Shen Yan had already died in the hands of the young general and Wang Mu's son, but the Seven Killing Army retreated into the three counties of Bayu. The Seven Killing Army will not be destroyed, and my heart Uneasy.
Later I learned that the young general needed to find someone who was familiar with Lingguan to investigate the situation, but the rest of them were either too low-cultivated or not as knowledgeable as me, so Tao Ran volunteered to enter Lingguan, only asking the young general to kill all the Seven Killing Army of Lingguan. .”
Looking at Tao Ran with a ferocious look on his face, the words "mo bully young man" flashed strangely in Chen Hongyu's mind, and he always had a sense of familiarity that had already begun to blur in his memory.
However, he understood Tao Ran's willingness to sacrifice his life to help him explore his spiritual state of mind.
Think about it for a moment. You yourself were born into a wealthy family in the county. Your family is wealthy and your relatives are harmonious.
Then if a servant steals the family's finances, you could have executed him, but with good intentions, you would have let him go after a small punishment.
Then this servant finally becomes famous and throws a lot of dirty water on you and kills your whole family.
How much will you hate him? Even if your enemy dies and hates him, you will definitely want to destroy his power.
"Don't worry, the Seven Killing Army rebelled and plundered the prefectures and counties, massacring the scholars wantonly. Da Qian will definitely not let go of anyone whose hands are stained with the blood of the nobles." Chen Hongyu comforted him.
After telling these reasons, Tao Ran seemed to feel a little more relaxed and began to talk about his experience of entering the spiritual barrier.
This Tao Ran was originally from Bajun and was familiar with the local customs and customs of Bajun. In addition, the three counties of Bayu and Chongqing were now a mixed bag, so he and his two servants quickly found a place to stay after entering the Lingguan.
The person guarding Lingguan County is Xu Fan, Lu Zhiying's twelfth disciple. Xu Fan was born in the Xu family of Lingguan County. He was originally a concubine who was not taken seriously, but later became a disciple of Lu Zhiying.
Also relying on Lu Zhiying, Xu Fan finally gained the attention of the family and became the next patriarch of the Xu family.
However, after Lu Zhiying's uprising, Xu Fan responded immediately and contributed most of the Xu family's savings. This made many people in the clan dissatisfied, but due to the strength of the Seven Kills army, they could only hide it in their hearts.
It just so happened that the original Tao family also had contacts with the Xu family, and Tao Ran also had a certain friendship with Xu You, the legitimate son of the Xu family. Knowing that Xu You was already resentful that a bastard, Xu Fei, had taken away the title of head of the family, Xu Fei not only He gave away most of the family's savings, which angered many people in the Xu family.
The key point is that the Seven Killing Army is still a broken ship that is about to be silenced. Once the Seven Killing Army is wiped out, the Xu family, which is deeply involved in the Seven Killing Army, will definitely be liquidated by the court. Therefore, the complaints of these tribesmen who are already dissatisfied with Xu Fan are even more serious. greatly increased.
Therefore, after some consideration, Tao Ran secretly found Xu You.
After experiencing a period of surprise, Xu You soon became moved under Tao Ran's persuasion.
After all, as long as he contacts others to secretly open the Lingguan and let the imperial troops enter the city, it will be a great achievement. When the time comes, all the blame will be placed on Xu Fan. If the merits and demerits balance out, the Xu family can be taken out.
"Major General, now Xu You has made up his mind, but he still needs a token from you, Major General, as a certificate, so that he can win over more clan members who are dissatisfied with Xu Fan."
"It doesn't matter, is the token thing easy to handle?" Chen Hongyu looked at the young man in front of him with admiration and said, "Wangji, can I call you that?"
Wangji is Tao Ran's character. Tao Ran is now twenty-four, three years older than Chen Hongyu's current body.
Tao Ran was overjoyed when he heard this. In the situation of great disparity in status, Chen Hongyu's willingness to call him by his name was naturally a sign of his favor and win over him.
He had also heard the statement of Major General Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin for a long time. He was good at literature and martial arts, and he was a benevolent and righteous man. In addition, with the current general as his teacher, he could be said to be an unimaginably huge backer. As long as he could rely on
With this young general, he will be able to easily restore the Tao family's former glory in the future.
"Of course you can. I wonder if the young general has any other instructions?" Tao Ran saluted respectfully.
Chen Hongyu asked the attendant next to him to take the pen and ink and a blank document. With dragons and phoenixes dancing in his hands, he said: "I think you performed well in this matter. This time I will write a document and you can enter the spiritual pass again and send it to that place."
by hand.
As long as you capture that spiritual pass this time, you can join my account and work as a meritorious officer."
Having said that, he had finished writing the surrender document in his hand, picked up the sealing ribbon and buckled it upwards.
What happens next mainly depends on the abilities of Tao Ran and Xu You.
After sending Tao Ran away, Chen Hongyu was preparing to calm down and practice.
But the voice of the messenger came again.
"Major General, Nanyuguan has been captured!"
"What?" Chen Hongyu was surprised. There are four checkpoints in the three counties of Bayu and Chongqing, all of which are important roads.
Among them, the two most important and largest passes are Shangyu Pass and Xiayuguan in Nayu County, followed by Nanyu Pass in Yu County in the south, and finally Lingguan in Ba County in the north.
But at this time, most of the Seven Killing Army were at Shangyu Pass and Xiayu Pass, so there was no solution at all.
And the Lingguan he was in also had a clue just now. How could the Nanyu Pass be broken down so quickly?
At this time, the ordering soldier was heard saying: "The victory at Nanyuguan is great. The Qingzhou Army has opened the main road to Yujun."
This messenger belongs to the Qingzhou Army and is also in the Blood Realm. He came all the way from Yuzhou and must have some understanding of what happened.
"Then how did Nanyuguan be captured?"
"Three days ago, my young master led his army against the Nanyu Pass guard. After provoking the guard, he did not fight directly, but only fought and talked with the guard."
"Yesterday, after cleaning up the Nanyu Pass, the guard opened the gate directly to welcome our Qingzhou soldiers to enter the pass. All the remaining 10,000 soldiers in the pass were also recruited." As he said this, the ordering soldier made no secret of it.
showed a proud look.
Chen Hongyu:???
As early as when the border army invaded Jizhou, the Qingzhou garrison joined in.
This time, Nanyuguan was attacked by Qingzhou soldiers led by Wang Mu.
But now, you tell him that the Qingzhou soldiers did not lose a single soldier, and they took Nanyuguan directly with Wang Mu's mouth.
Do you think I believe it?
Fortunately, the soldier handed over another letter, but it was written by Wang Mu.
