The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 24: Escape the Golden Cicada

On February 13th, the East China Sea Army plundered the land of Wuyue, and the young and strong money and food were all returned to Dinghai. Yuyao, Zhenhai, Jiaxing, Haining, and Pinghu were all fortunate. Only Yuhang and Kuaiji were protected by the Shuiying wings. .

——”Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yong Ji Si”

Upstairs in Yanyu, all family heads were summoned, as well as several celebrities in Jiaxing, who were forcibly invited by the Yong army. I thought it was a general of the Yong army, but the owner was actually a 16 or 7 year old. The young man, originally these paternal masters had a heart of contempt and unrestrainedness in their hearts. I expected this young man to speak decently and know everyone in Jiaxing well. During the conversation, he showed a sense of admiration, but for a moment, everyone let go of hostility. . The young man ordered a banquet and asked everyone about the geography of Jiaxing. Everyone dared not answer, and even if they were under the fence, they also had the heart to frustrate the young man’s spirit, looking for opportunities to ask questions, and Yanyulou became a talkative. So. Although this young man didn’t have any insights, he was calm, talkative, and very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. He was so happy in the building. Until sunset, these patriarchs and celebrities were also unfulfilled. The young man ordered Bingzhu to continue the banquet, but everyone did not even refuse.

Although Jing Xin is one of the outstanding young talents of the Jiaxing family, he was originally not qualified to participate in such a conversation, but Jing said that the master of the family was sick and inconvenient to come, but Jing Xun’s third uncle Jing Xunqing was ordered to come. Jing Xunqing was originally worried that it would inevitably offend the Yong army in this way, but seeing that Jing Xin was here, and Huo Cong seemed to take Jing Xin very seriously, Jing Xunqing had an idea, falsely passed Jing Changqing’s order, let Jing Xin take the place of the head of the family. Feast. Huo Cong was very happy after hearing this, and even let Jing Xin sit next to him. Regarding the status of the Jing family, although it is quite prominent in Jiaxing, there are two that can be compared with it. Huo Cong treats Jing Xin like this, of course, it is a privilege, but Jing Xin only feels that everyone looks at him with doubts. , Under the full eyes of everyone, it was uneasy to sit still, so he was also silent during the dinner. But the more he watched, the more alarming he became. Although Huo Cong was modest and peaceful, he faintly controlled the overall situation, and the Jiaxing family had already fallen into it without realizing it.

The night is getting darker, and the family owners begin to feel a little uneasy. At this time, a banquet is too long, but looking at the main seat, the young man named Huo is still full of energy and interest. These family owners are beginning to worry. Get up, think about the Yong army sergeants around you who are serving as attendants. All of them are staring at them, and they can’t help worrying. They also know that this young man must have a lot of attention when summoning himself, but no matter what he wants, it’s time. It should have been announced, but why did he refuse to leave the meeting? As a result, everyone inevitably began to think, but most of these people are old treacherous and cunning people. Naturally, they dare not make the atmosphere embarrassing. They have tried their best to find some topics to talk to, and they are so sleepy that they dare not show it. .

It wasn’t until the morning of the second day that Huo Cong got up and smiled: “Late Sheng and you all have a long conversation overnight. It really benefited me a lot. It’s a pity that there is no permanent banquet in the world. The night is long and there will be an end.”

The well-known Patriarch of the Jun family in the Jiaxing family forcibly opened his red eyes and stood up and said: “It is my fortunate to be able to drink with Counselor Huo. The counselor is young and heroic. If you have any suggestions, even if you can speak, I will do my best.” But he couldn’t help it anymore. Instead of ignorant of praise and wait until Yong Jun turned his face, he should take the initiative to ask for the price. In his mind, if he sends gold and silver money and food, he should be free from killing. It is impossible for the Yong army to stay in Jiaxing more.

Huo Cong has long been rewarded. Her husband has left Jiaxing. Overnight, Yong Jun has registered all the civilians of the Jiaxing family, waiting for his own order, so he did not pretend to be hypocritical, and said solemnly: “Huo In accordance with the order of Jing Haihou, the people of Wu and Yue will fill the sea. Everyone is a good man in Jiaxing. Please help me.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was at a loss, and then there was a look of horror in their eyes. They looked at Huo Cong dumbfounded, all revealing an expression of disbelief. This kind and ordinary boy suddenly became a snake and a beast in their eyes. Huo Cong laughed and said: “You all have dressed up on the road. Jiaxing’s carts, horses, boats and boats have been requisitioned by our army, so you should not have to work hard along the way.”

Jing Xin was silent at first. He was also filled with anger when he heard it. He stood up and said: “The Yongjun claims to be the master of the king, how to do this unrighteous thing and take the people into the sea? This is an act of banditry. So far, why do you treat the people of the world?”

Huo Cong calmly said: “The two countries are fighting, do everything they can do. If they kill the people of Wu and Yue, the same effect can be achieved, but my emperor is kind, and I don’t want to harm the people of Li and take the people of Wu and Yue. Filling the sea is a foregone conclusion. The two evils are the lesser one. Brother Jing should understand.” Although his tone was flat, his eyes flashed cold, but he seemed to have killed his intent. Jing Xin stagnated, Jing Xunqing was already Gently pulling his sleeves to stop him from speaking, Jing Xin had to sit down.

This time the Yong army invaded Wuyue, it was already unexpected by the Southern Chu Dynasty, but even though Dinghai was captured, the officials of the Wuyue counties did not think that the Yong army would land and fight. After all, the Yong army was in Wuyue. Without foundation, if you follow the example of pirates to land and plunder, you will lose the style of a great power. It is expected that the person in charge of the East Sea Army had already been a pirate, and an informal Chu Junhou as the master, even made the decision to take the people of Wu and Yue to fill the sea in order to fight against Nanchu for a long time. If you change the generals of Da Yong to preside over Dinghai, you may change the way of fighting, but Jiang Haitao is convinced of Jiang Zhe, and has a pirate style. In addition, after he surrendered to Yong, he was given the position of Marquis by Emperor Yong. However, he inherited his father’s shadow and failed to make military merits. This is also a special case for Dayong, so he also wants to prove himself with his record, so he will spare no effort to adopt this strategy that may be criticized.

After a while, there was a noise from downstairs in Yanyu, Jing Xin heard the sound, ignoring the Yongjun sergeant holding the blade, and looking down at the window, I saw that there were Yongjun entering the residence on both sides of the street, according to the list. Some young and strong men and women were bound with ropes and rushed out. Old and weak women and children followed and wept, but they were forced to retreat by the Yong army. The city of Jiaxing was in chaos, and Jing Xin was at a loss. At this time, someone called his name loudly. He turned his head and saw that there were only those dejected family patriarchs and Sergeant Yongjun upstairs. The Tsing Yi boy Huo Cong had disappeared. The caller was a sergeant. , But urged him to get on the road.

Twelve years of Nanchu Tongtai and eight years of Yonglong prosperous. For the aristocratic people in the land of Wuyue, it can be said to be a catastrophe. Yuyao, Zhenhai, Jiaxing, Haining, and Pinghu were taken abducted by 500,000. Zhuang, including aristocratic families, celebrities, and craftsmen from all over the world, the Yong army’s methods can be said to be very decisive and ruthless. Wufu County has a population of nearly 3 million, but one sixth of it was taken by the Yong army, including nearly Fifty thousand generations of family members, celebrities from poor families, one hundred thousand craftsmen, and the rest are young and strong men and women. When Lu Can led the Jiujiang Shuiying through the Jiangnan Canal to Jiaxing, the Yong Army left less than six hours, and Lu Can’s dispatched troops would go to take over the Yuhang Shuiying and lead his army to pursue the Yong Army. But the Yong Army had already planned well. , Acting swiftly, Lu Can went straight to officer Yan, but he could only watch the Yong army cross the sea calmly. Lu Can sighed and couldn’t help but marvel at the skill and skill of the Yong army’s chief. You must know that the retreat of the Yong army is not easy. When he left, there were both looted money and food and people who were threatened. The Yong army was able to withdraw into the sea without any muddles. How could it surprise Lu Can.

Standing on the shore, looking at the ship sailing away by the Yong army, Lu Can sighed bitterly, but he was helpless. At this time, Yuhang Shuiying, who had received his order, was late and Lu Can knew about Yuhang. Shuiying came from the same line, and he was indulged in peace. He had no courage to go to sea for a long time, but he could only lightly rebuke a few words. This is the end, and the reorganization of Yuhang Shuiying still needs the assistance of these generals. In the following days, Lu Can could only reorganize the water camp and reorganize the coastal fortresses to prevent the Yong army from re-landing and taking captives. The land of Wuyue was hit hard by this, leaving countless broken doors, the pain and worry of losing loved ones. The people of Wu Yue who suffered revenge did not support the formation of the rebel army. If it weren’t for Lu Can’s vigor, he persuaded Wu Yue’s surviving family to protect themselves, and even the martial arts knights raised their arms and gave full assistance. I was afraid that the formation of the rebel army would be half the result. . Just when Lu Can was embarking on Wu Yue’s coastal defense, a message came to him, and his eyebrows were frowned. The news was that Hou Jiangzhe of the Dayongchu County was in Dinghai and he had gone to Jiaxing to worship his dead mother.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news spread like wildfire, but it has spread in a few days. Jiang Zhe went to Jiaxing to worship the spirits. Although the matter was secret, it was not that there was no trace of the water. Afterwards, people who saw clues about the matter came to know about it, not to mention there were hidden South Chu spies. He had mastered Jiang Zhe’s whereabouts, but he didn’t dare to stop the assassination. After all, the Yong army was powerful, and the guards around Jiang Zhe were very powerful.

Although Nanchu was in the same voice insulting Jiang Zhe, there were actually several different opinions in secret. Some regarded him as a second courtier without a ruler and no father, and some secretly envied him for this wealth. Ronghua, but in general, not many people know that Jiang Zhe is good. First, the upper echelons of Nanchu deliberately conceal Jiang Zhe’s ability. Second, although Jiang Zhe had the rank of marquis, most people thought that it was because of Emperor Yong’s reward for his success, or that it was the princess of Changle, even if there were wise men, It was also because he could not get enough information to correctly evaluate Jiang Zhe’s talents. However, for the core military and political figures of Southern Chu, Jiang Zhe would not be underestimated. Even Shang Weijun, who insisted on adopting foolish policies, would not underestimate him. Now that Jiang Zhe appeared in Jiaxing, he was obviously serving as a counselor of military aircraft in the Eastern Navy. In this way, the main attack direction of the Yong Army must be Wu Yue. Otherwise, how could Jiang Zhe be in Dinghai? Even Lu Can would not believe that Jiang Zhe would Worship the dead mother to Dinghai.

Of course, after the news spread, the various military and political forces in Southern Chu were not immediately convinced that they were all trying their best to collect relevant information. Jiang Zhe’s identity was different. If he appeared in Dinghai, it would reveal the next strategy of the Yong army. It can be imagined that Jiang Zhe’s re-entry into the army must be the intention of Emperor Yong. If it weren’t for the battle of Southern Chu, what else could bring this cold garden hermit who had a detached position in Da Yong to Jiangnan? First of all, Lu Can made people look for clues in Jiaxing, and finally determined that Jiang Zhe had indeed appeared in Jiaxing. Not to mention that all the Jing clan members in Jiaxing disappeared. Some villagers once saw some black-clothed Yong army coming and going, but the treasurer of Yanyulou survived, and even told all the things that happened in Yanyulou, although I don’t know what the young counsellor was. People, but only by listening to what he did, Lu Can had faintly thought of the identity of this person. After learning that the young counselor’s name was Huo Cong through intelligence, Lu Can was even more aware that Huo Cong was still young, and Da Yong was There are so many talents, unless Jiang Zhe comes to Dinghai and Huo Cong is with him, it is possible for this young man to develop his talents.

On the other hand, the news that Nan Chu received from Dayong also confirmed that Hou Jiangzhe of Chu County had disappeared for a long time, and the invitation of Emperor Yong to the cold garden was even more upset. There was even news that Jiang Zhe had indeed gone to the East China Sea. Based on various sources of news, Lu Can finally determined that Jiang Zhe had indeed come to Dinghai with the East Sea Army.

After Shang Weijun received the same information, a secret order was sent to temporarily order Ning Haijunshan to accept Lu Can’s dispatch, asking Lu Can to do his best to destroy the Yong army occupying Dinghai. Of course, there is another request, Shang Weijun strictly ordered Lu Can eradicate the confidant’s trouble-Jiang Zhe. Shang Weijun usually accused Lu Can of being a master and apprentice to Jiang Zhe, but he was fighting for power. In fact, he didn’t think so deep in his heart. The Lu family has assisted the Zhao family for several generations, and he has never been behind the country. may. Shang Weijun also knew well about Jiang Zhe’s position in Dayong. Although Shang Weijun is selfish in fighting for power, he is not completely incompetent after all. He is very clear about Jiang Zhe’s greatness. If not, he would never show mercy to the Jiaxing Jing family in the past, if it had not been restored now. There is room for him, and he might not start with Jingshi.

Now that he has determined that Dayong’s main direction of attack is Wu Yue, he does not care about Ninghai’s military power. Although he only allowed Lu Can to mobilize Ninghaihai Camp instead of handing over all the general power, to him Great sacrifices have been made. Lu Can could not live up to Shang Weijun’s “good intentions,” and he also had the same view. Thinking of the methods used by the Yong Army to take captives in Wuyue, it was not like the original recklessness of the East Sea Army, but precise and ruthless. Lu Can also It is believed that Jiang Zheding commanded Wu Yue water battle in Dinghai. In this case, the Yong Army cannot be allowed to occupy Dinghai according to the original plan. If it is delayed for three years or two years, I am afraid that his elite soldiers have not yet been trained, and the Yong Army has already occupied the Wu and Yue counties.

Because of Jiang Zhe alone, the Hangzhou Bay, which might have been temporarily in a stalemate, set off a terrible war. Shang and Lu once again gave up their previous suspicions and focused on the outside world. Yuhang Shuiying and Ninghaiying jointly launched a fierce attack on Dinghai.

Above the blue sea, a fierce battle that just ended left countless warship wrecks. There are floating corpses on the sea. With the current drifting to the sea, the enemy and our fleets sailed in two directions. Between the two sides, the two sides have been in continuous battles, but there is no victory or defeat. If it is a water battle, the only one who can fight against the Wu Yue navy is the East Sea Army who is surviving in the angry sea.

Standing on the bow, feeling the icy sea breeze, Huo Cong’s Qingyi fluttering, his complexion was a little pale, and the turbulence during combat was a bit hard for him. After all, he was not an Eastern navy who had been fighting at sea all year round. . In the distance below the sky, seabirds swept over the waves, and the waves rolled, covering up the traces of the naval battle. Huo Cong was full of emotions, thinking about the unknown teacher, but also infinite troubles.

The robbery of Wu Yue was a very successful feat, but after returning to Dinghai, Huo Cong was hit by the head and was almost stunned by the bad news. Jiang Zhe, who should have returned a long time ago, disappeared. Yu Minghu Benwei headed down and returned to Dinghai dejectedly. After questioning Jiang Haitao and Huo Cong, they knew what had happened.

It turns out that after Jiang Zhe left Jiaxing, he not only did not intend to return to Dinghai, but also planned to go north from Jiaxing, via the Jiangnan Canal to Zhenze Lake, and then via the canal to Jingkou, crossing the river and crossing Huaidong controlled by the Chu of Vietnam, making a transfer Xuzhou, rushing to the Xiangyang battlefield, how can this be accepted by Hu Benwei, this journey is thousands of miles, and most of the way is the sphere of influence of Southern Chu, if Jiang Zhe’s identity is discovered by Nanchu, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. Hu Yanshou came forward to admonish, but it was of no avail. Jiang Zhe made it very clear that if Hu Yanshou wanted to forcibly stop him, he would let the evil shadow Li Shun lead him on the road alone. The argument was entangled for a long time, and finally Hu Yanshou knew that he could not stop him, so he had to give in and ask for protection. After begging for a long time, Jiang Zhe promised to bring five tiger guards. Hu Yanshou had to choose four martial arts guards to accompany him. The Hu Ben guards of China were forced to return to Dinghai to cover Jiang Zhe’s whereabouts.

After learning the details, Jiang Haitao and Huo Cong were almost dizzy, especially Jiang Haitao. At the beginning, Jiang Zhe had to go south with the navy~IndoMTL.com~The Emperor Yong was already quite worried. Before leaving, he had a letter to Jiang Haitao. He asked him to protect Jiang Zhe’s safety. Unexpectedly, when he first arrived in Wu Yue, Jiang Zhe put him together. If Jiang Zhe had any shortcomings, how would he explain to Li Zhi, Li Xian and Princess Changle. Huo Cong also had a terrible headache, but after all, he was Jiang Zhe’s most proud disciple, but he felt that Jiang Zhe was not a person who took risks lightly. There must be a reason for this decision, so instead he advised Jiang Haitao not to worry.

Those Hu Benwei were ordered to stay with Huo Cong temporarily, and brought Jiang Zhe’s letter back. Jiang Zhexin asked the two of them to spread the news that he was in Dinghai, so that the Southern Chu Army would not find that he was not in Dinghai, and explained After the news came out, the Southern Chu Army would launch a fierce attack on Dinghai, making Jiang Haitao careful. The two pondered over and over, and had to obey, in order to make the illusion that Jiang Zhe was still in Dinghai, even Huo Cong had dyed his temples and appeared on the boat as Jiang Zhe.

And the South Chu Army’s fierce attack also made them suffer. Fortunately, the sword became sharper and sharper. In several naval battles, the Southern Chu Army did not take advantage of it. After all, most of the Southern Chu naval forces fought in the inland rivers. For naval battles, they were still inferior to the East Sea. Shuangcheng held a stalemate like this. Fortunately, Dinghai had already established a supply foundation in Putuo and seized Wu Yue’s money and food. Although Ning Haijun Mountain blocked the way back north, it did not take much advantage. Although Lu Can deliberately took Putuo and regained the people of Wu Yue, Putuo was difficult to attack on the one hand, and the East China Sea Army repeatedly attacked from behind when it attacked. On the other hand, he captured Putuo and wanted to take Wu Yuezhi 500,000. It was impossible for the people to be transported back to the land under the prying eyes of the East Sea Army, so in the end Lu Can gave up this approach and could only rely on naval battles. The vast blue sea turned into a **** battlefield. The situation in the southeast was all caught by the East Sea Army Contained, although Lu Can was good at fighting, he couldn’t be distracted from the battle in Xiangfan, so he could only entrust Rong Yuan to take responsibility.
