Chapter four hundred and twentieth envy and jealousy
Tong Guan refuses to give in!
Tens of thousands of elite Western troops are almost unable to withstand the situation.
The imperial court urgently called for Taoist priests and masters with real abilities. There are no shadows at this time, and we don’t know when they will be in place.
Seeing that Fangla's rebels were showing signs of counterattack, Tong Guan was extremely anxious. His elite Western Army could not withstand it at all, and had to bow to the Liangshan army for help.
The issue of face really doesn't matter, the key is to maintain one's status.
No matter how much the current officials trust him, they will not allow him to squander the elite Western Army. It will be a disaster then.
Song Jiang accepted the order without saying a word, and directly led his 50,000 troops, who had been resting for a long time, to attack the nearest Fang La tribe garrisoned city.
In the past, he and Lu Junyi basically divided their forces into two groups, but now they were wary of Fang La's fire control methods, so naturally they didn't have much confidence.
As a result, the city was conquered in a battle.
General Fang La, who was stationed in the city, did have fire control methods, but before he could use it, Lu Zhishen, who was charging ahead, threw a water ball and smashed him into a drowned rat, and then he solved the battle with a shovel.
The Liangshan army has accumulated a lot of water polo talismans in their hands!
We just ran into a little trouble when we were clearing out the remaining enemies.
Some fanatic followers of the Fang La tribe who were guarding the city suddenly burst into flames, as if they were crazy and were about to die together with the Liangshan soldiers who came in.
As a result, they were directly destroyed by a series of water balls, and the battle went without any twists and turns. The Liangshan soldiers easily captured a city.
But even so, when summing up after the war, all the leaders felt heavy, especially when talking about the group of fanatic believers who set themselves on fire, they felt even more uneasy.
"Damn, they are really a bunch of life-hungry lunatics. You must be careful when you confront them in the future, lest you suddenly 'die together'!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Fang Labu has become like this after not fighting for half a year. It will be difficult to fight in the future!"
"If Master Lu hadn't acted decisively this time and eliminated several of the opponent's generals immediately, the battle would not have been so easy!"
"Master Lu's skills are truly enviable!"
"..."
As he spoke, Lou leaned over Lu Zhishen's powerful martial arts. The core leaders present were all envious, wishing they could have such a method.
The general Fang La who was killed was not an unknown person. Although his martial arts skills were only second-rate, he was extremely skilled in fire control. In previous battles with the elite Western Army, he had performed extremely well and even killed in formation.
He killed several powerful generals of the Western Army.
Even if Lu Junyi faced such a good player, he couldn't say that he could resolve the battle within a few moves. In the end, Lu Zhishen was completely finished with just one shovel.
Powerful and fast as lightning!
This was how the Liangshan leaders who saw Lu Zhishen's attack commented on his performance at that time. Even Lu Junyi might not be able to stop him.
"What are you envious of?"
Lu Zhishen said angrily: "We have heard from the high officials in our village that you can all learn from the Sa family!"
Ignoring the delighted expressions of the leaders present, he said to himself: "The Sa family can give you the method, but whether you can learn it or not is beyond the Sa family's control!"
Then, he explained the idea of star visualization without any intention of hiding anything.
only……
The leaders present looked at each other in confusion. It wasn't that they didn't understand. The content of Star Viewing was actually very simple. The key was that they found that they simply couldn't get started with it.
Only Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng's eyes were bright and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
He understood and knew how to practice, but he had no intention of announcing it on the spot, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
It's not that he is stingy, but that his cultivation method is very complicated, and the most important thing is to have a good understanding of the stars in the sky.
The leaders of Liangshan are all a bunch of rude men. Being able to read and write is already quite impressive, but they still want to know how to identify the stars in the sky?
There are doubts in his heart. Based on his understanding of Lu Zhishen, this guy is not an expert at stargazing. How did he get started and reach the level he is now?
Needless to say, it must be the work of Chai Daguan...
"This is too difficult, I can't figure it out at all!"
One of the leaders couldn't help but murmured, as if a switch was turned on.
"That's right. What kind of stars do you know?"
"If you want to visualize the stars, don't you have to rely on Meng?"
"Master Lu, is there any special method?"
Someone yelled, and the originally noisy meeting hall suddenly became quiet, and pairs of eyes looked at Lu Zhishen.
"Of course!"
Lu Zhishen didn't hide anything, and said calmly: "Sa Jia's introduction to visualization is due to the direct guidance of Chai Daguan. Even stargazing can only be done with the help of Daguan. This is the biggest shortcut!"
The leaders present looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, not knowing what to say.
It was not surprising to them that Chai Daguan had such abilities. After all, even the cultivation methods were provided by him on his own initiative.
But Chai Daguan is not easy to deal with...
At least some of the leaders present had a fairly average relationship with Chai Daguan.
Besides, Chai Daguan's people didn't even take care of all the leaders of the rear camp. How could they have the free time to pay attention to familiar strangers like them?
Despite the fact that the leaders and brothers are shouting affectionately, in fact their relationship is not that close, they are just from the same camp.
Since Chai Daguan came to Liangshan, he has been the general manager of the rear camp and has a good relationship with the leaders of the front camp.
Some smart people were vaguely aware of the reason, but they didn't think of using their hot face to show off the cold butt of the high official.
Just for now...
"Brothers, don't worry!"
Song Jiang stood up and said loudly: "You and the officials have discussed this matter, brothers, don't worry!"
"As long as the senior officials can help us, they will definitely not disappoint you brothers. I can guarantee this!"
"Of course, all brothers must perform well enough, otherwise it will be difficult for me to speak to the high officials!"
This guy had a good plan and actually used this opportunity to boost morale and urge all the brothers to perform well.
How to behave?
Naturally, he showed enough efforts in the battle with Fang Labu...
As for whether Chai Daguan is willing to take action when the time comes, Song Jiang doesn't care about that much and will first resolve the immediate trouble.
In this battle, although Lu Zhishen took action, he quickly solved the most difficult general of Fang La tribe and won quite neatly.
But everyone knows that such good things will not last long...
After the rest of the Fang La tribe reacted, it would not be so easy to rely on Lu Zhishen's surprise attack to win.
In Song Jiang's view, in order to defeat Fangla's rebels, the leaders of Liangshan must fight hard. The opportunity to boost morale must not be missed.
…
Liangshan's army won the first battle, which surprised Tong Guan.
"I don't think so, these Liangshan people still have some abilities!"
Tong Guan, who was already worried about the stalemate in the Jiangnan war, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at his confidants.
"Isn't it because the Privy Council has good guidance?"
"Exactly, a certain Liangshan troops also took advantage of the sneak attack!"
"It's just a battle, we still have to see the follow-up results!"
The confidants around Tong Guan ignored the contribution of the Liangshan army in a few words. They either put the credit on Tong Guan or were not optimistic about the next performance of the Liangshan army.
This is in line with Tong Guan's thoughts, so he is naturally very happy to hear it.
Otherwise, he commanded the elite Western Army and suffered a bloody blow. The result was that he could not even compare with the gang of thieves and bandits he recruited. How could he have the dignity to command the army to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun in the future?
Unfortunately, sometimes the more you don't want something to happen, the development process of things will happen in the direction you least want to see.
In the next month, Liangshan's army could be described as a series of devastating battles. They won three battles in a row, killed more than a dozen members of Fangla's tribe, and at the same time captured three city passes occupied by Fangla's tribe.
Tong Guan didn't know much about the details of the battle, but he knew that a peerless warrior emerged from the Liangshan army and almost single-handedly captured the three checkpoints guarded by Fang Labu.
There are all kinds of weird rumors...
Some say that the peerless generals who appeared in the Liangshan army can blast through city walls with one person; some say that the peerless generals in the Liangshan army can leap several feet and can easily kill the top of the city wall where Shang Labu is stationed, etc.
Anyway, the news that reached Tong Guan's ears was unreliable, just like the legends told by storytellers.
"Doesn't anyone know what's going on?"
Tong Guan was a little irritable and felt extremely unhappy.
I originally thought that the Liangshan army would suffer a bloody blow, but who knew that the momentum was so fierce that they immediately won consecutive battles and victories.
This is very humiliating for Tong Guan. The elite Western Army was compared to trash. How could the commander of the Western Army endure this?
Of course, he is also a little jealous of the military exploits of the Liangshan army...
Damn it, since the unfavorable situation of the Jiangnan War was completely exposed, his status in the hearts of today's officials has plummeted.
The persona that he had built up over the past twenty years as someone who could win wars had completely collapsed. If he could not use enough military exploits to increase the confidence of current officials in him, life would be difficult for him in the future.
Therefore, although the military exploits of the Liangshan army were not significant, and the damage and impact on Labu on the other side was not great, Tong Guan still did not hesitate to take all the credit. At the same time, he also wanted to find out how the Liangshan army achieved victory.
For this reason, Tong Guan sent many envoys to the Liangshan Army camp, including some spies from the Western Army. The continuous victories of the Liangshan Army made the Western Army feel ashamed, and naturally they would not miss the opportunity to observe carefully...
…
However, the results of the investigation made them envious and jealous, but they were helpless.
Damn it, who can tell them that there are really fierce people in this world who can carry a giant cauldron and can even lift it several feet high...
