Just when the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was approaching clarity, a sudden and shocking change once again caused the world to boil.
There were three marshals in the Northern Qi Dynasty. They guarded the border all year round to protect the country's peace. They had countless powerful soldiers. Their prestige in the army was unmatched, so much so that even the Northern Qi court was very afraid.
When the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty was still alive, the reason why he listened to Su Zhilan, exchanged cities with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and supported the three cities of Lanshui was not only bewitched by the drug, but also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the influence of the three marshals and cultivate his own influence in the army.
power.
Today, Long Yuan, one of the three marshals, is still confronting the rebels in the three cities of Lanshui. No one could have imagined that at this juncture, another marshal, Bi Dongliu, would suddenly raise his troops to attack Neijing without any warning.
After Lu, in succession, captured the three major portals of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they came out with all their elite troops and openly led the masses in rebellion.
When the news came back, the whole Northern Qi Dynasty was in an uproar, and the imperial court was even more furious. Qi Yuanyi, the Great Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, issued three imperial edicts in succession, ordering Bi Dongliu to immediately stop his disobedient behavior, otherwise he would overthrow the country and attack him.
Bi Dongliuhun didn't care. In the next half month, he fought consecutive battles and captured the nine major cities of the Northern Qi Dynasty, attracting the attention of the whole world.
What's even crazier is that while Bi Dongliu was attacking the Northern Qi Dynasty, he divided his forces and marched westward. Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the vast and dangerous natural peaks, and suddenly appeared in the territory of Western Chu like divine soldiers descending from the sky, tearing apart the Western Chu with a devastating force.
The border sparked a war on the land of Western Chu, causing chaos in Western Chu!
It should be noted that Xichu has a special terrain. Although it is very small, one-third smaller than the second-to-last Nanwu capital, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It does not allow large armies to sneak across at all. There is only a long defense line in the south, so instead
It is easier to defend and safer than the other four dynasties.
Except for the south, the other three sides only need to station a large army at the border, and usually send out scouts to symbolically patrol the surrounding areas to inspect the enemy's situation. There will be no problems. This has been the case for hundreds of years.
It is for this reason that Xi Chu dared to mobilize the whole country to attack Nan Wu. After all, as long as Nan Wu was captured, Xi Chu could open up the situation and change the situation of being trapped in the west.
It is conceivable that when Bi Dongliu's hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly appeared on the northern border of Western Chu, what kind of shock it brought to Western Chu and the world.
The Western Chu army on the northern border has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and its defense and combat capabilities are far below normal levels. Coupled with its laxity, facing the ferocious Northern Qi army, it is like a sheep meeting a wild wolf.
The army is defeated and vulnerable.
The northern border was breached.
Western Chu was in a state of emptiness. After the defense line was torn apart, the hundreds of thousands of Northern Qi troops in the vast plains blocked the gods and killed the gods, and the demons blocked and killed the demons. The Western Chu army along the way was beaten to pieces. They attacked the city and captured the territory so fast.
It almost shocked the eyes of everyone in the world.
When the elites of Western Chu who were occupying territory in Southern Wu learned the bad news, they all cursed Northern Qi for being shameless, but they did not care about stirring up trouble in Southern Wu. They all turned around and retreated, rushing to Western Chu as quickly as possible.
No matter how much territory is grabbed, if the country is destroyed, it will be of no use! Not to mention the follow-up supply of food, grass and baggage, as well as various administrative issues, which soldier in the war has no home in Western Chu? Even if some generals have selfish desires
, unable to resist the will of the entire army, they could only grit their teeth and return home.
Without the constraints of the Western Chu army, Fang Zhaonan, who was making a huge killing in Southern Wu, joined forces with the Tiandumen army to defeat the Southern Wu court and the Jianhai Palace army, and took advantage of the situation to seize the land left by Western Chu.
territory.
One good show after another has once again stirred up the situation in the world, and I don’t know how many people have been dumbfounded...
Outside Jinghua City, in the Xianwu Mansion, Lou Linxuan stood by the octagonal pavilion. After listening to Chi Qing's report, he sighed: "The cloaked man is hidden deeper than we thought. Even Bi Dongliu is his.
"
Chi Qing stared in shock: "Why did Mr. Lou say this?"
Lou Linxuan: "Western Chu is surrounded by thousands of miles of dangerous mountains on three sides. If the army wants to cross over, there are countless difficulties. Otherwise, Western Chu would have perished long ago in the past few hundred years. But Bi Dongliu's army was able to succeed this time, which proves that it must have been defeated.
They found a secret path.
But even so, when hundreds of thousands of troops approach the border of Western Chu, it is impossible for there to be no movement. No matter how deserted the Western Chu army is, the sentries and scouts will not be spared. This proves that someone must have removed the sentries and scouts in advance. Then wait for Lin
In a densely populated place, soldiers cannot do this, only martial arts masters, and martial arts masters who are good at this."
Chi Qing was thinking quickly and said in shock: "Dark Night Pavilion killer?"
Lou Linxuan said with emotion: "Lou even suspected that the secret path was found by the people from Dark Night Pavilion. In addition, after Bi Dongliu attacked Xi Chu and lured it away, Fang Zhaonan and Tian Tian benefited the most.
Poison Sect, they are all from Dark Night Pavilion."
Hearing this, Chi Qing no longer had any doubts, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "The man in the cloak is thoughtful enough to come up with such a wonderful chain plan."
"I'm afraid there's more to it than that." Lou Linxuan's voice suddenly became a little more solemn: "Lou has studied Fang Zhaonan before. When he led his troops to withdraw from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he found it strange. Now that he thinks about it, he knows the true nature of the other party.
Be careful. Fang Zhaonan's withdrawal from Nanwu was clearly a strategy of retreat in order to advance.
First, the Bi Dongliu troops were divided into two groups. On the one hand, they drew the attention of the Northern Qi Dynasty and distracted the pressure of the Lanshui rebels. On the other hand, they attacked the Western Chu and forced the elites of the Western Chu to retreat. Fang Zhaonan could take the opportunity to seize the southern Wu territory. Jianhai
The strength of Gong and Nan Wu court has long been greatly reduced, so naturally they do not pose a threat to Fang Zhaonan.
And because of Fang Zhaonan's decisive evacuation, we and the Dongfang Family fought fiercely on the front line, and each other wasted a lot of money. After the battle was over, the victor's vitality was also severely damaged. At that time, Fang Zhaonan's morale was like a rainbow when he decided to ding Nanwu.
If we raise our troops to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, what do you think the result will be?"
Chi Qing, who didn't understand it at first, turned pale every time he heard another sentence. Later, his face was filled with shock and he was speechless.
He wanted to refute, but the situation was right in front of him. Perhaps most people would never see through the thrill of this situation, but Mr. Lou was not an ordinary person, and Chi Qing had already admired him to the point of admiration.
As the second-in-command of Yingmu, and now the temporary first-in-command, Chi Qing is more aware of the terror of the cloaked man. He is a terrifying figure that even Mr. Lou dare not defeat. Of course, all these situations and changes cannot be a coincidence.
Chi Qing felt a deep frustration. This was the first time he had truly seen the cloaked man's layout. His courage and control of the situation were simply chilling to the bottom of his heart. If he were to be the cloaked man's opponent, he would probably
I don’t know why I was played to death.
The world is indeed not something that ordinary people can fight for, so I should just obey orders and do things honestly. Fortunately, there is Mr. Lou here, otherwise even if the sect leader has superb martial arts, it would be difficult to defeat the cloaked man.
"Sir, since you have seen the other party's conspiracy, is there any way to solve it?" Chi Qing asked hurriedly. His wealth, life and interests have long been tied to Zhuo Mufeng, and he couldn't help but want to ask for Zhuo Mufeng.
Answer.
Lou Linxuan looked straight, gently shook his feather fan, and said in a concentrated voice: "The opponent's situation has already been established, and it cannot be reversed by any strategy. Fortunately, the opponent missed Zhang Jiaquan, which gave us a chance. But this
If there is a chance, it depends on whether I can seize it."
"Clan Master?" Chi Qing murmured and opened his mouth, confused, and at the same time sweating for Zhuo Mufeng who had disappeared, feeling worried and anxious in his heart...
A flat lake is wide and open, reflecting the mountain scenery and sky like a mirror. On both sides of the lakeshore are green mountains. At one of the corners, there are green bamboos everywhere, and you can faintly see a small road sandwiched between the foot of the mountain and the flat lake.
A caravan of men and women passed by on the road, causing the birds to sing in the bamboo forest.
It was noon in the hot summer, but this group of merchants were obviously sweating profusely, but they had no intention of resting. Many of them even looked tired from the journey, and their feet were sore.
One person dares to speak up and call it quits.
The man at the front has black hair, a thick beard on his face, his eyes are determined and calm, and his body is surprisingly free of sweat stains.
"Big proprietor, thirty miles ahead is Feipu Town. As long as you pass through Feipu Town and take a detour, you can enter Zhongzhou." Another man whispered, he was also very calm, dazzling by the blazing sun.
To him, it was like a breath of fresh air.
The big proprietor nodded and said solemnly: "Don't slack off, wait until you get to Zhongzhou and then have a good rest."
Looking at the mountains in front of him, the great proprietor had no expression on his face.
He has experienced many ups and downs in his life, but this is the first time he has been forced to flee with his family. But it doesn't matter. No hardship can change his ambition, it will only make him more indestructible. One day, he will
He will return with his clan and fight against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty again!
The sound of rushing water could not be detected. The big proprietor's ears moved and he could easily identify someone holding a pennant, probably several hundred meters away.
But he didn't want to be troublesome, he just wanted to leave Dongzhou in a low-key way.
Unfortunately, someone did not allow him to keep a low profile, and a voice came slowly, like a thunderbolt from the blue, making the group of merchants turn pale.
"The Great Elder is in a hurry. Where are you going to take refuge?"
The big proprietor stopped and his calm expression finally changed drastically. The people in the caravan behind him were also trembling.
Outside the dense bamboo forest, a small boat floated around the corner of the mountain, swimming in the lake at an extremely slow speed. The sparkling golden lake blurred the outline of the figure on the boat. The person was holding a bamboo pole and paddling leisurely.
But when everyone saw him, he suddenly put his bamboo pole in the water, stopped the boat, and said with a smile: "Great elder, everyone, long time no see."
"Zhuo Mufeng!" The exclamations came one after another, with unconcealable fear and panic in their voices.
On the other hand, the big proprietor, after the initial change of expression, has regained his composure. He looked at the young man on the boat not far away with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Zhuo Mufeng, you can find me even here.
