Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 918
"Don't let go of a deserter, don't embarrass a surrendered soldier, this is the attitude towards the Western Army!"

"Although the Western Army is eliminated, the Song court still has Prime Minister Zhang Dun, and there is a general named Song Jiang under his command. You should not underestimate it. You must be cautious when you go south to attack Jianghuai."

"However, they should be in dire straits now. The Song court recruited a large number of rebels before, such as Xiangyang Guo Kang and others, and they all rewarded high-ranking officials and generous salaries. This group of thieves can be subdued entirely because of Zhang Dun's personal prestige and the elite of the Western Army. Supported by military strength, now that the Western Army has been dismissed, even with Zhang Dun around, it cannot be suppressed..."

Regarding Li Yan's orders, Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu took them down attentively, and hesitated several times: "Your Majesty..."

Li Yan knew what they were worried about, but he would not change his plan: "Now that the elites of Zhao and Song are all lost, it's time for Fang La and Yang Tianwang to form an alliance. The special attack department and Qilan department will follow me to the south. You just need to stabilize the overall situation in the southeast." !"

After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the lion's horse, and all the elite soldiers behind him put on the Shenxing armored horse, and galloped out all the way.

There are four departments under the Dudu's Mansion: Confidentiality, Special Attack, Qilan, and Supervision.

The Department of Secrets is responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, and the cultivation and acquisition of spies;
The special attack department is responsible for operating cutting-edge equipment and carrying out secret missions in deep enemy territory;

The Qilan Department is responsible for the collection and actual combat of Taoism spells and various magic tools;

The final supervision department is responsible for supervising the various armies and reviewing internal violations of discipline;

Li Yan knew very few people on his trip to the south, and brought even fewer people. Apart from Wu Song, the head of the bodyguard, and Yan Qing, the youngest but most flexible bodyguard, there were also members of the Qilan Department who were in charge of the rapid march.

Among the three major forces in the south, the [-] elite Western Army led by Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao is the most threatening and must be dealt with first.

After solving this side, the news of his going south is likely to spread. Before that, he must race against time to arrive at the second battlefield while the scouts are reporting, and deal with the second enemy.

According to the threat, the second strongest is undoubtedly Fang La's [-] elite soldiers going north, but the second place to solve is not this army, but going south to Xiangyang!

the goal--

Chuanshu Yang Tianwang!
……

"I've been a little restless these days. Your Majesty really can't stay outside Xiangyang City anymore!"

In the camp of the Shu army, after hearing Li Zhu's eager words, Meng Yue drank the fine wine in his cup, clicked his lips and said, "Brother Li, I have already persuaded the king, you don't know, why bother to repeat the question over and over again?" How about it? What's more, it's your proposal to form an alliance with the King of Wu to resist the Yan army!"

Li Zhu said in a deep voice: "Shu and Wu form an alliance to fight against the Yan army together, which is to win a chance for Sichuan and Shu, but why does the king want to come in person? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone him, His Highness the King of Shu." ?”

Meng Yue frowned, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Why is the king here in person, can't you see it? If both King Wu and Yan's army are defeated, the responsibility of protecting Jingxiang will fall on our shoulders." , Your Majesty, this is for the sake of all the southerners!"

Li Zhu couldn't listen to such hypocrisy, and said coldly: "I just hope that Fang La's army will be wiped out, and Yan's army will win miserably, and there will be no time to look south for a while, and then our Shu army will take advantage of it, and we will be able to take advantage of it logically." Accepting the territory of Jingxiang... Is there such a cheap thing in the world? Now that the dynasty is changing, and the heroes are competing for the throne, how can they forget their lives for such a small profit?"

Meng Yue's complexion changed drastically. These words were too harsh, especially the final evaluation of Yang Tianwang, and under the influence of fine wine, he lost his previous endurance and growled: "Presumptuous! Presumptuous! You are just Relying on swordsmanship to gain power, hasn't the Jianghu taught you how to be superior and inferior!"

Hearing the undisguised contemptuous tone of Jiang Huzi, Li Zhu stared deeply at this supposed friend, and left without saying a word.

After leaving the camp, he looked at the outline of Xiangyang Xiongcheng, fell silent for a while, and sighed faintly.

"Brother Li has devoted all his sincerity to Dongliu, do you feel disheartened?"

The voice sounded from behind, Li Zhu's complexion changed immediately, he held the sword hilt at his waist, and turned around like a whirlwind: "Who?"

Wang Qing came out: "Me!"

Li Zhu's expression softened a little, but he became vigilant again: "It's you...you are so bold to sneak into our Sichuan camp?"

Wang Qing smiled: "It's easy to come in with some money. It's really not audacious... Don't stare at me, Brother Li, you still remember that when we first chatted deeply, I made comments. You are in Sichuan. Under the command of a lord like the Heavenly King of Shuyang, it is doomed that the pearl will be covered with dust and cannot display its talent!"

Li Zhu said coldly: "Your Excellency, you don't need to come and see my jokes. If one person does not serve two masters, no matter how wrong Yang Tianwang is, I will not switch to others!"

Wang Qing raised his brows slightly: "Anyone else would only think that I am alienating the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and would not think that I will introduce a new lord for you to be loyal to you. Brother Li really knows me!"

Li Zhu didn't want to talk to this kind of people any more: "It's because of our friendship in the past, I won't take you, please go ahead!"

Wang Qing laughed and saluted with fists in his hands: "Although the military discipline of the Shu army is lax, it's not a big deal, but I will keep Brother Li's violation of the rules in mind, thank you very much!"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face with your hand, Wang Qing kept smiling, but that smile was very sincere, and there was no irony in it, which made Li Zhu very uncomfortable, and his heart was so hard that he really pulled out his sword.

"Closer!"

Accompanied by a strange sword cry like a dragon's chant, Li Zhu's sword flashed past. Wang Qing only felt a light on his waist, and saw that the tip of the sword seemed to stretch, and his belt with accessories hung on it. He touched the tip of the sword, and he couldn't help but praised: "As expected of Mr. Jin Jian, you really have a good sword technique!"

Li Zhu's face was as cold as ice: "Your Excellency, if you continue to entangle me, the next time you will be stabbed is not a belt, but a more precious thing, don't say it is unpredictable!"

Wang Qing waved his hand and smiled sincerely: "I see you as a friend, so I came to chat. Is it nonsense? Brother Li is too repulsive for thousands of miles away!"

Li Zhu shook the tip of his sword slightly, turned around and left without further words.

Wang Qing spontaneously followed, and said as he walked: "Brother Li, do you know that Fang La seems to have brought all the elite to the north, but left behind a lot of defense force. Wu Shangshu Wang Yin is the one who was the first to join him. His brook barbarians..."

Li Zhu was slightly stunned: "I'm from Jingzhou. I know that there are many Xiyi living in the mountainous area. I have been rebelling and surrendering. I didn't expect to be subdued by Fang La?"

Wang Qingdao: "In fact, they were not subdued by Fang La, but were subdued by the Mingzun cult in the name of Buddhism. This group of barbarians are very dead-minded. Since they have served, they must be loyal, otherwise they are afraid of the Buddha's punishment..."

Li Zhu frowned: "How do you know such secret things so clearly?"

Sighing appeared in Wang Qing's eyes: "Because I used to be a member of Ming Zun's cult!"

Li Zhu suddenly realized that he didn't know much about this sect, he only knew that it was a cult banned by the imperial court and had been rebelling all the time, but now he is the rebel party that he has taken refuge in, so he is only curious about it: "I would like to hear more about it!"

Wang Qing talked about how he joined the religion because of his mother's beliefs, and was later valued by Ming Zun. He rose in status in the religion, got acquainted with Fang La, and became a military adviser who gave advice. He recounted the matter of reconciliation with Fang La.

Li Zhu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and explained a lot of doubts in his heart: "It turns out that this is the case. No wonder King Wu suffered setbacks one after another under the city of Xiangyang, and the morale of the army can still remain so high. It turns out that this method was used, and your identity I should have thought it was yours long ago, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Qing..."

Compared with these, Li Zhu was more interested in the attack of the legendary figure: "'Zuo Ming' has always been a strong man I want to challenge. You have had contact with him, can you describe his strength?"

Wang Qing showed seriousness, and said four words without hesitation: "Unfathomable!"

Li Zhu raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Wang Qing's martial arts are absolutely outstanding, but he has no power to resist in that person's hands. It can indeed be confirmed from the side, how tyrannical that number one traitor in the world is!

This made people even more excited. Li Zhu couldn't help being refreshed, adjusted his breathing, temporarily suppressed his aggressive and belligerent heart, and asked in a deep voice: "How to find 'Zuo Ming'? "

Wang Qingdao: "Senior 'Zuo Ming' sees the head but not the end, only he sees us, we don't see him, but the senior also assists His Royal Highness King Yan to compete, if Brother Li votes for His Highness Yan King, maybe he can find a match with 'Zuo Ming' A chance for seniors to compete!"

Li Zhu shook his head: "Sure enough, I saw Tuqiongdagger, but I'm going to disappoint you. I'm not interested in King Yan. He dominates the north and is indeed powerful, but I like to help the weak!"

Wang Qing couldn't help laughing: "If Tianwang Yang hears this, I'm sure I'll never end with you, but I won't tell the truth, after all...my goal has been achieved!"

Li Zhu was slightly startled at first, then suddenly changed color: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

Just in response to this sentence, there was only a bang. On the Han River not far away, there was a loud noise first, and then a fire burst out, billowing thick smoke into the sky.

"The thief mistaken me!"

The King of Shu's car was on the river, and Li Zhu was so angry that he stabbed Wang Qing with his sword, but he dodged it coolly: "The legendary figure I just mentioned is right there, Brother Li, hurry up!"

"Even if 'Zuo Ming' came personally, I wouldn't be afraid!!"

After Li Zhu left a word, he rushed to the shore resolutely, and in the distance, he saw several figures jumping out of the river, throwing one of them in the air like a pass.

Eventually, the man fell to the shore.

On top of a particularly handsome and tall horse, a stalwart figure reached out and grabbed it.

The captured man didn't even wear a coat, screamed in fright, and was extremely embarrassed. A familiar scent of incense wafted over through the river wind, and Li Zhu's heart sank to the bottom.

Because this means that Yang Tianwang, who has dominated Sichuan and Shu for several years, is now called His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and was captured alive on the Han River outside Xiangyang City!
