Chapter 363 River Walk (20)

Dozens of miles down from the entrance of Huan River to the Huaihe River is the entrance of the Huai River to the Huaihe River, and a few dozen miles further downstream is a canal that connects the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. Needless to say, this section of the canal is unknown. How many times it has been repaired, how many times it has been abandoned... and within ten miles of entering the canal, there is a county seat on the east side of the canal, but it is Shanyang County.

Shanyang is already part of Jiangdu County.

Therefore, in a broad sense, the north gate of Jiangdu is of course Xuzhou, but in a narrow sense, Huaiyang on the north bank of the entrance to Huai River from Surabaya, Shanyang in the north section of the canal, and Gaoyou in the middle section are the three major gates of Jiangdu.

When Huaiyang was hit by Tiaohu leaving the mountain, there was a moment of emptiness and was easily broken through.

At this time, Du Pozhen, Fu Boshi, Li Zida, Kan Leng, and the so-called Thirteen King Kong, plus [-] Huaixi Taibao Army, have arrived in Shanyang, only across a canal at the border of Shanyang City Set up camp, the front camp is only one or two miles away from the canal, and the canal is only three or four miles away from Shanyang City.

But Du Pozhen himself was not in the camp at this time, but on the second day after arriving here, he and Li Zida brought dozens of people to Hongzepu in the west early in the morning.

"Master, how is it?"

On a sloping embankment, Li Zida, standing sideways, spoke proudly to Du Pozhen. "Am I right?"

"Not bad." Du Pozhen looked at the dense shallow lake area in front of him with his hands behind his back, and he was relieved that he had been holding back for several days. "It's not bad at all... Sure enough, Huainan and Huaibei are not the same climate at all. The rivers in Huaibei are almost dry, and the lake area here is still so dense. Now we have a retreat. It is really impossible to go from here, from here. On the west side of the river in Zhongli County, Ma Sheng will lead the water army to meet him, so there is no need to worry about the mouth of Sishui being blocked."

Although Xie Minghe's teeth were sore when he heard it, he didn't bother to think about it. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and let out a long breath: "Okay! This battle has already been won!"

"The enemy general has been captured. Naturally, we have won." Kan Leng was also beaming with joy.

Li Zida just nodded indiscriminately.

The third place on the list, it can only be said that Moyun Golden Winged Roc hadn't condensed its alchemy back then, but its talent was top-notch visible to the naked eye in Dongdu.

Mang King Kong was the same as before, but the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay. It was obvious that Du Pozhen was still a little guilty. After all, this was all his family background. Who knows whether the Thirteen King Kong will be able to do anything at that time?
In theory it should work, but what if it doesn't?

Xie Minghe couldn't argue.

But Mang Jingang remained steadfast, when the two were about to meet, he suddenly waved a huge iron staff with one hand, borrowed the formation to fill up his true energy, and charged towards his face.

Before he landed, he saw the fat Vajra of the Thirteen Vajras waving to him with his bare head, pointing to an open space, then he turned temporarily, and like a big crane, he floated down towards the open space where the Fat Vajra was.How did Zhao Guang give up this opportunity?He also dispatched the glow infuriating energy in the air, and continued to turn and fall.However, his speed was faster, and he rushed straight at the opponent's back. The so-called armor was dazzling, and the spear was like claws. It looked like a golden-winged roc coming to kill its prey.

Xie Minghe was also helpless: "You just said that you are sure?"

That is Jiangdu City.

It's like catching birds and fish.

"How could those two compare randomly?" Xie Minghe laughed dryly and shook his head on the spot. "The way I see it, what those two mean is that at the time of alchemy, the Grandmaster's subordinates can run, and the Grandmaster can defend. The rest of the people are counted apart from the two of them. Anyone of the same rank will be punished." Pressing and beating... This kind of talent is unique in the world, how can there be a third person comparable to it?"

"That's not what I meant." Xie Minghe shook his head and laughed. "It's the whole Xuzhou event that has been decided!"

But Xie Minghe himself was a little uneasy, and turned back to look at Mang Jingang who was squatting at the door of the Chinese army's big tent: "Brother Mang, if this golden-winged roc is really comparable to Yitianjian, are you really sure to keep him?"

Wang Daiji sat back, pinched his yellow beard, was silent for a while, waved his hand to signal his servants to leave, and finally smiled: "If I say I don't see you, doesn't it seem that Wang is forgetting the past? Your Excellency, please come in for tea." , speak slowly."

Seeing this, Zhao Guang, who was wearing a full set of armor and carrying a long spear, was not angry but happy, and jumped up to catch up again. He believed that this so-called alchemy master who had come out of the Chinese army's tent was said to be a pampered superior.

With that said, he left directly.

But the Taibao also left, and the remaining four, especially the three old pillars of the Huaiyou League, still felt guilty.

The other party did not hide anything: "Jiangzuo Xie Minghe, a white-clothed rogue, as for the old man, he was the one who paid homage to Mu Guogong with your Excellency in Xidu that day."

Kan Leng could only nod irritably.

At this time, Du Pozhen realized why Xie Minghe and Thirteen King Kong had to look at him eagerly. The coming general turned out to be a serious General of the First Guard, called Zhao Guang!

Xie Minghe was furious, turned over, and wanted to speak, but was stunned by the scene in front of him - the thirteen Vajras lined up in the camp, and when he fell, he didn't move at all, especially when he didn't even move his true energy, but He just turned over, and at some point, the river of zhenqi flowed in front of him, forming a big net of zhenqi, enveloping Zhao Guang from above.

When the time comes, this is of course the way to go, but if he directly puts the trust and expectation of the whole army on Wenren Xun'an, he really dare not... It's been a year, knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, who knows Wenren Xun'an and Huainan County have been separated for a year, do you have any other thoughts?
"If that's the case, why do you still have to take this risk?" Li Zida didn't know if he had understood this level, he looked around and made sure that only Du Pozhen and his sons were there, and finally asked a question. "This time, we have built up our foundation."

"If we really want to set up three or four general managers, it's better to only keep two or three counties." At this point, Li Zida paused, and became more serious. "In this way, Huaixi will be the root cause in the future!"

The two sides leaped a few times, each time Xie Minghe came first and then Zhao Guang came first, but three or five times, they were forced to fight, and once they fought, Liu Yunhe, the old brand of condensing pills, was defeated by the young Chengdan. The obvious difference in strength between the masters made him breathless, and the long sword in his hand was almost knocked off by the opponent's shot.

Everyone was puzzled, but Fat King Kong still took off the marching gold medal and long ribbon to prove his identity from the other party, and handed it to the other party.

"That's right, now is not the time to run a boat and form a gang. Only when you have a large territory can you talk about it." Du Pozhen also became more serious. "I abandoned Huankou when I went back this time. That place is good, but it's too far from the hinterland of Huaixi, and too close to Xuzhou... Sima Zheng won't spare us."

It can only be said that he has been famous for many years, traveled from east to west, from east to west, with rich experience, and was born in Bashu Baidi Zongguan, which is not to be underestimated.

But soon, while they were talking, something unexpected happened to them.

This house is only the front and back courtyards, people live in the front yard, horses are raised in the back yard, and the main room is in the middle... The owner is even a high-ranking official, the so-called servant Wang Daiji of the Ministry of Punishment.

However, by now, it is imperative.

This is what disturbs him the most—the Dragon Clan seems to have some magical power. His outstanding righteous brother has gone and became his confidant, and his uncle has gone, and it is said that he has a lot of trouble with that Zhang Sanlang It's unfavorable, but he still has a relationship with his father and son.

But immediately Xie Minghe realized that he had something to do, he was running his true energy desperately, and flew up, driving a blue mist-like true energy... This is not longevity true energy, but a light blue, like The infuriating tone of the green mountains and green waters, coupled with his fluttering white clothes, really looks like a crane flying between the green mountains and green waters... Of course, this guy had a button in his heart, and he didn't go to the front camp immediately , go to the flank instead.

In this way, the people's speech gradually relaxed, and they only discussed the countermeasures for tomorrow. They probably prepared a set of formations by the canal, covered with soldiers and horses, and then the generals feigned defeat to lure the scene.

After several failed attempts, Zhao Guang gradually lost control of his fear and turned his head to look at Mang Gangang. Of course he knew that the opponent was the eye of the formation and also the core of the command, so he summoned up his remaining courage and rushed towards him with a broken gun. .

"Master Yifu! Vice President Li!" When he arrived at the camp, he had just fallen off his horse when he saw Kan Leng, who was actually in charge of military affairs in the army, hand in his hand and report from a distance. "It is said that the general has a lot of background. That in charge Xie and Thirteen King Kong have crossed the river together to spy on the flag... The Fu Bo is counting the equipment and military battles in the back camp."

Kan Leng was puzzled for a moment: "Is this person so powerful?"

Xie Minghe was stunned for a moment, and asked seriously: "You said before that your thirteen vajra formations can be compared to a grandmaster...how come you beat it again?"

"General..." The officers outside ran to the front battalion first, disappeared for a while, then met Kan Ling again at the corner gate between the two battalions, and then rushed to report...Of course, the so-called general in this The term "big" refers to Kan Leng being the great Taibao of the Taibao, not his intention. "The Wei army is out of the city and is building a pontoon bridge. It seems that they are going to cross the canal and come directly to our camp. The movement can't be covered, so the front camp is suddenly noisy!"

"And based on this premise, since you want to go with the Chulong Gang, you have to be manipulated by others. What Zhang Sanlang means is that if the matter is done, the plate of the six counties of Huaixi is still ours, and if it is not done, it is still ours. But he wants to set up seven or eight general managers in Huaixi." Du Pozhen continued. "I think it is difficult for him to set up seven or eight chief managers, but three or four can always be done, so it has to be done."

But as soon as he came out, he saw a beam of radiant zhenqi jumping up from the front of the front camp, and then flew straight to his side, and under this jump, it flew directly over the entire front camp without falling, even Continue to slide towards the center of the largest Chinese army camp.

Of course, it was also meant to continue to observe in order to determine the retreat route in case of emergency.

Du Pozhen came to his senses and came to comfort him: "Lao Li, you don't have to think too much... You were called by Zhang San to go there. You will be the big leader, a battalion soldier, and a general. The future is always not bad. It won’t happen in the future, if you come back to Huaixi, you will always be in the top five.”

"It's not that he's great, it's because he proves the strength of our soldiers and horses, and proves that our soldiers and horses are powerful, so we can do business with some people. Zhang Sanlang doesn't expect to do business with Sima Erlong, so then Not a business person!" Xie Minghe's face also turned red. "You take care of him, just wait here, and give me the marching gold medal in his arms. Within three days... No, the overall situation will be settled within two days! I'm going to go find a toothman, anyway, the military situation is serious, Can't wait for a moment!"

The Thirteen King Kong immediately rushed forward, broke the man's legs and feet on the spot, and bound him tightly.

You know, Liu Yunhe is famous all over the world for his legs and feet, but looking at this exaggerated jumping distance, he just feels that it is the ultimate in his life. Able to enter the top three.

Fu Boshi came to laugh even more: "You are really a reckless King Kong."

"In fact, the rain in Huainan, especially in the mountains upstream, is not worse than in previous years. Brother Wenren also said that the water level of the Huaihe River is also there. The leader should have made a decision." Li Zida didn't think so. "It's just that you can't walk on the river. At worst, you can continue to go west. Brother Wenren, please pull up the flag and walk from his house."

And Xie Minghe didn't even have time to see Du Pozhen, so he jumped up.

Zhao Guang, who originally wanted to rush forward to Xie Minghe, was also flustered and hurried to leave, but when he raised his true energy and hit the net, it fell apart like tofu with a wire, and he could swing a long spear instinctively Going to swing, as a result, the long spear with glowing true energy hit the big net of true energy, and was cut off directly.

From Shanyang to Jiangdu, it's only 250 miles, with a network of water in the middle. Xie Liuyun, who is already famous for his speed on the left side of the river, doesn't use a horse. After a while, about the afternoon of the second day, I arrived at the Jiangdong land that I had been dreaming about... across the river.

"Wang Shilang!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from above his head. "An old man from Dongdu asked me, a middle-aged man, to look for you to reminisce about the old days. I wonder if you would take the time to meet?"

At this time, I heard someone laughing next to my ear: "Master Xie, if your crane meets this golden-winged roc in the wild, I'm afraid it will have to go into the swamp and reeds."

Wang Daiji was not surprised at all, just nodded, and asked calmly: "I have heard about your great name for a long time. Is the Dragon Gang powerful enough to let people of your background run away for it? How did Zhao Guang be taken down by them?" of?"

It can only be said that there are wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

However, halfway through the journey, when there were still about ten miles away from the camp, a messenger suddenly came to report that the reinforcements from the government army had arrived at Shanyang, and General Kan Ling asked the leader and deputy leader to turn back quickly.

To be honest, this kind of talent can't but make people think of Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi.In fact, several people also compared these two in their hearts.

In fact, in the next three years, this golden-winged roc was repeatedly promoted by Uncle Cao and the saint in Jiangdu, and after each promotion, he quickly completed a leap in cultivation level. The master of Qijing quickly transformed into a master of alchemy.

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly turned around to report.

Kan Leng was stunned for a moment when he heard that, but he came to his senses immediately, and then he was overjoyed—after all, thinking about it from a different body, if he was that kind of golden-winged roc, he would be suspected of disregarding the hot flashes and hard work of the soldiers, but how could he be afraid in his bones? Lost your own army?To put it bluntly, it's just a group of trackers, how can it count in the eyes of the eager Dongdu Titans?
What's more, in the eyes of the other party, among the [-] thieves who came ashore suddenly, there is clearly only one Li Zida and one who is barely a newcomer to Ningdan!Even the news of his adoptive father Ningdan is hidden from the outside world!
As for Xie Minghe and the thirteen vajras, especially the thirteen vajras, they were originally hidden killer moves.

In fact, this journey was not only about being cautious and frightened in military matters, Xie Minghe's gesticulation along the way also made him unbearable, and what made him even more unbearable was that the "Fu Bo" they called the "Fu Bo" in the Taibao's mouth was Fu Boshi, I went to Hebei for a year, and I got a lot of points. When I returned to the gang, I also felt uncomfortable with one thing and wrong with another, and I often echoed Xie Minghe along the way.

Turning back to the front, Xie Minghe fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, there was no time to do other words or actions, he just rolled over and escaped the pounce of the golden-winged roc behind him.

"Of course there is a score, but the matter is of great importance. Before I see it with my own eyes, I dare not relax at all." Du Pozhen answered seriously, but did not mention the issue of Wen Ren Xun An.

So, the man in cold sweat didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and after desperately blocking a shot, he jumped up again, and finally went to the back half of the front camp.

"The third person in the past, Moyun Golden Winged Roc?!" Du Pozhen was so startled that his heart beat wildly.

There is no way, who made the Huaiyoumeng family have a poor foundation, and this is the only mess?
And hearing the noise in front of them getting louder, shouts and battles gradually appeared, the three of them didn't dare to neglect any longer, and one of them each went to the rear camp and the side camp.

The rest of the people also came to laugh, and Xie Minghe also felt embarrassed... In the end, although Zhao Guang has a great reputation, he is just a young man who has just stepped into the alchemy realm, and he has not even started visualization. King Kong, when he came, he was ready to deal with the master, how could he be afraid of him?

"Let me put it this way, any confidence is false. I can only guarantee that the thirteen of us can defeat an ordinary grandmaster..." Mang Jingang was a little helpless. "So don't talk about whether it works or not, just hit it and try it, anyway, you won't lose."

Li Zida was silent.

There was only one Xie Minghe left, originally he and Du Pozhen were in the central army, but he heard more and more obvious movements in front of him, and saw the front battalion constantly flashing lights, but he still had no confidence, he finally couldn't hold back, Flying out, ready to go to the front to have a look.

Knowing the advantages and disadvantages, he tried to walk from the gap, and as a result, whether he started up or followed the flat ground to the side, the Mang King Kong commanded and shouted calmly, and the broken river zhenqi thread on the zhenqi net could not move. Constantly adjusting, even encrypting and thickening, becoming a mask, only makes Zhao Guang restrained everywhere.

There are so many people gathered in this poor place in Jiangdu, and everyone has no family members, so it is natural that they are reluctantly fooled, but Wang Daiji's status, rewards and treatment are indispensable, but he still lives in this kind of place, I'm afraid it's not A good person is a treacherous person, anyway, he has other concerns in his heart, which really made Xie Liuyun believe Zhang Xing's words a little more, and feel a little more certain in his heart.

Kan Ling was younger, and it was okay to be unconvinced, but Fu Boshi and Li Zida also changed their complexions drastically.After all, they still knew who made the Jing'an Taiwan list, which had only been published once and had no major updates, and they all recognized this person's vision.Moreover, that's not the case, no matter how stupid the list is, the top three rankings in each list cannot be random.

"Who sent this?" Wang Shilang, who was sitting in the main room reading a book, opened the leather bag and saw the badge of General Zhao Guangyiwei. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up. "Where is the man?"

Kan Leng cared the most about the troops, and he didn't care too much when he saw the situation. He just bowed his hands and made a gesture, and then hurried to the front camp, preparing to take on the responsibility of luring the enemy himself.

"Better than ordinary masters...ordinary." Mang Jin became more and more speechless, so he could only repeat it. "I, Mang King Kong, have also been on the black list and broke through the black tower. Am I an ordinary master? Now that Cheng Dan is cultivated, he can also surpass ordinary Cheng Dan. Then it is not a matter of course for me to directly surpass ordinary masters with me as the eye of the formation. Is it? It's the same sentence, don't talk too much, just hit it directly!"

"Brother Xie's question is the same as what Boss Du asked?" Mang Gangang was speechless. "Then what did you tell Boss Du just now?"

Instead, after inquiring, he easily found a residence with his own local accent.

Wang Shilang didn't dare to be negligent, he got up and went forward and cupped his hands: "Wang Daiji, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, I have seen Your Excellency, dare to ask your name, who is the old man?"

Of course, when thinking of this, Xie Minghe suddenly realized that this recklessness is recklessness, but seeing that everyone has been cautious all the way here, and the confidence is not enough before the battle, but he still knows to make some subtle reminders, which can be regarded as rough and fine... especially After talking for a long time, they still didn't say whether they could keep experts like Bai Sanniang.

It was obviously Mang King Kong's voice.

Zhao Guang was hit with a short gun, like a rabbit bumping into a big tree, he became dizzy on the spot, staggered a few times, and fell to the ground.

"Suppose this person can be compared to Sima Erlong and Bai Sanniang..." Du Pozhen's face was stiff. "Are we sure?"

"That's true."

After entering the city, the atmosphere in the city was exactly as he expected, the market was as usual, and he didn't know about the war at all, as if someone blocked the news, and Xie Liuyun didn't look for his old family in the local area, nor did he look for any Nan Yamen, any local left behind, or I'm looking for Sima Huada, the actual commander of the Forbidden Army.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and they waited while thinking wildly, while Fu Boshi came from the camp first, then Xie Minghe and the Thirteen King Kongs also came back, the other twelve King Kongs went to rest by themselves, Mang King Kong stayed in the middle army with a few people Do discuss.

The world is bright and clear, since there is no golden-winged roc, the Liuyun Crane is naturally unscrupulous and soars freely.

In the tent of the Chinese army, everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news, but they looked at Mang Jingang again.

The two naturally had nothing to say about this, but Du Pozhen reminded a little thing: "In front of Na Xie, don't call the leader anymore, just call us the leader and the big leader."

At this time, Mang Gangang just turned around and smiled at Xie Minghe and Kan Leng and the others who rushed over: "Actually, there are tricks, the nickname of the Golden Winged Roc is correct, but since the Roc is on the ground, it can't even spread its wings. How does it compare with my jade-faced tiger?"

The two dared not neglect, mounted their horses immediately, and galloped lightly back to the camp.

The golden-winged roc turned pale with fright, without even thinking about it, if he didn't take the net seriously just now and jumped up hastily, he might die on the spot.

As soon as the words fell, a person fell in front of the door, with a calm posture and a magnanimous demeanor, which made people heartbroken.

Several people nodded one after another.

Of course, he didn't have time to think about it, because the streamer actually hit the front of the Chinese army's big tent, that is, in front of himself, and the two sides made a distance of only two or three feet away from the rammed earth foundation in front of the tent. face to face!

"It can't be helped." Du Pozhen was surprisingly calm. "Since it's reversed, the official army and the Dragon Gang can only choose one of the two, and it's definitely not the time when they were half-hearted before, or they were one-sided... and if they were one-sided, Huaixi has become like that, and he can't go with the court anymore. Let’s go together? Didn’t my family break Qi and sea break Dan?”

So that the two of them froze for a moment.

In this way, the two looked at the geographical situation for a while. As the sun rose and the weather gradually became hotter, the two finally decided to return to the camp.Only they came by water to take advantage of the emptiness of the mouth of Surabaya. They didn’t bring many mounts. Basically, only generals, sentry cavalry, and messengers could ride horses. In order not to embarrass the two-legged attendants, they just led The horse goes back.

"Since the surname Zhao only ate an extra lunch at noon and threw himself into the trap, even if the brothers killed him without seriousness, he would be considered dead from fullness. What else can we say? Let's do it." Mang King Kong slapped the ground and rose. "I'll prepare. You can bring him in. It doesn't take much, just go to the back half of the front camp!"

"What's the noise in the front camp?" Kan Leng took the initiative to go out to ask, and led his people to the front camp.

"This matter is a long story, please allow me to speak calmly with Your Excellency, and there is another matter that requires Your Excellency's assistance." Xie Minghe did not lose his etiquette. "Our friend said that if things work out, Your Excellency will also be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, so let's spread our wings."

"Okay." Wang Daiji's heart moved slightly, and he moved aside sideways, earnestly and courteously. "Your Excellency, please sit down."

This day was the eighteenth of June, the night when the Xuzhou war came to an end.

PS: Good night everyone.
