Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 380 Second Alliance
The southern water network is crisscrossed, and Pang Lichuan was appointed as the commander of the Southern Expedition Army by the Dagan Military Affairs Council, mainly for this reason.

In addition, the headquarter of the platoon gang was located in Jinling back then, and Pang Lichuan, as the original head of the platoon gang, was already familiar with southern martial arts and rivers and lakes.

Pang Lichuan became the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Army for the second time. He thought that he could lay down a large area of ​​land for Dagan and make further achievements like the first time.

I never thought that the second Southern Expedition would be very difficult from the very beginning, whether it was in Zhejiang Province or Hunan Province.

Even Jiangxi Province, which had been brought under the rule of Dagan, was full of bandits and bandits, and the undercurrent was raging.

From the autumn of the third year of the Qianli calendar to the present, ten months have passed, and the Southern Expeditionary Army has only won two or three prefectures in Zhejiang Province and Hunan Province, which are less than half of the area of ​​the two provinces.

This was very far from Pang Lichuan's expected goal before the second southern expedition, which made him feel that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

Especially after being attacked and seriously injured by an unknown innate master this time, his pressure was even greater, and he even felt a little bit of self-blame, or self-doubt.

"How is General Zhang's injury?" Pang Lichuan asked Lu Xian who had just seen Zhang Susu's injury.

Lu Xian was Pang Lichuan's disciple, so he respected Pang Lichuan, and replied, "General Zhang has started to recover, and it will take about a month for him to fully recover."

"One month?" Pang Lichuan's expression became more and more bitter, and he frowned with thick eyebrows: "I'm afraid the enemy won't give us so much time."

Seeing the anxiety in Pang Lichuan's heart, Lu Xian said, "Master, why do you need to be so worried? Luoyang has already heard the news, and will definitely send a helping hand, maybe even His Majesty himself. At that time, why should some clowns cause trouble?"

"I hope so." Pang Lichuan was still not optimistic about the situation.

It's not that he has no confidence in Ouyang Ye's strength, but he feels that the other party may not meet Ouyang Ye face to face.If the enemy hides, no matter how good Ouyang Ye's martial arts is, it will be useless.

In this case, the strategy of "leading the snake out of the hole" will probably be used.

Pang Lichuan felt that perhaps he could only use his body as bait to cover his crime and make meritorious service.

Wucheng.

This is a small town in Guangxi Province.

Today, this place has become the meeting place of the two major powers in the south.

To say that the largest power in the south is naturally the small court of Emperor Jingping in Suicheng.

Suicheng controls most of Lingnan, Fujian Province, Guangxi Province, and a small part of Hunan Province and Zhejiang Province. The most important thing is that it has not been involved in the war in the Central Plains in the past few years, so the money and food are abundant, and the soldiers are well trained. For the elite.

If it was a few months ago, these factors alone in Suicheng would not have been looked down upon by the world.

Without him, Suicheng lacks masters, especially masters in the innate realm, so they act very timidly.

However, starting a few months ago, Suicheng changed its previous style and suddenly became tough.

Not only did he take the initiative to attack the Gan army several times, but the most recent time, he sent several innate masters, who were said to have severely injured the commander of the Dagan Nanzheng Army and another innate warrior, so his power was greatly boosted.

As for the other major force of this alliance, it is the Red Lotus Heavenly Kingdom that has risen in the two provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi in the past two or three years.

The Red Lotus Heavenly Kingdom was originally the Red Lotus Sect, who was born as a professional rebel, but the two provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi belong to poor mountains and rivers, and the people are poor, so the Red Lotus Sect is like a fish in water when it comes here.

Therefore, just relying on some of the backbone of the Red Lotus Sect that Ning Bugui brought to the south, the Red Lotus Heavenly Kingdom has rapidly grown in two or three years.

Up to now, it is said that Ning Bugui, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, has broken through to the Hedao Realm, and has recruited several Xiantian Realm warriors under his command.

With such a powerful strength, Suicheng believed that Dayu was orthodox and should have been at odds with anti-thieves like the Red Lotus Sect, so they had to pinch their noses and use the Red Lotus Sect as an ally to fight Dagan together.

For this meeting in Wucheng, on the surface, both sides only sent an envoy and a congenital master, but they had their own arrangements behind the scenes.

The backyard of Wucheng government office.

The envoy from Suicheng, a thin middle-aged man with a very official appearance, said forcefully and coldly: "In this alliance, your Red Lotus Sect should only follow my lead. If you can destroy Qianguo in the north, I, Dayu, can allow it." You Red Lotus Sect will freely preach among the people in the future, and you will no longer be regarded as a cult."

This envoy was an official of the Dayu imperial court who was a Jinshi in the scientific examination. He was inherently hostile to the Red Lotus Sect. Although he was appointed as an alliance envoy, he still did not hide his dislike for the Red Lotus Sect.

In his view, Dayu's willingness to recognize the Red Lotus Sect as an ally this time is the biggest concession, so there is no need to give any benefits at all.

As for allowing the Red Lotus Sect to freely preach among the people in the future, it is only a stopgap measure.

If Dayu Jiangshan can be revived, then the imperial court will definitely strangle the Red Lotus Sect in the most thorough way, so that it will not leave a trace in this world.

The envoy of the Red Lotus Sect is a handsome young man with a strange appearance, but his real identity is Pang Yu, the right-hand envoy of the Red Lotus Sect newly recruited by Ning Bugui.

Before coming to participate in this alliance, Pang Yu expected that Suicheng would regard itself as orthodox and would not form an equal alliance with the Red Lotus Sect, but he did not expect that the envoy who came to negotiate turned out to be in such a gesture of charity.

As a result, the smile on Pang Yu's face gradually turned grim, and he stared straight at the envoy from Suicheng, and asked, "Who gave you the confidence to come to discuss an alliance with me, the Red Lotus Heavenly Kingdom, with such an attitude? Believe it or not, we will now Send a large army and attack Guilin?"

"You!" The envoy probably didn't expect that Pang Yu would send troops to threaten him when he opened his mouth, so he was angry for a while, and when he recovered, he stood up, pointed at Pang Yu, and shouted redly, "You dare!"

Pang Yu glanced coldly at the envoy from Suicheng, and said in a cold tone, "Pang doesn't like being pointed at the most in his life."

After finishing speaking, Pang Yu suddenly turned into an afterimage, and rushed straight to the messenger, intending to teach him a lesson, and at the same time let Suicheng understand the difference in strength between the two sides.

As an innate warrior, Pang Yu is still very confident in teaching a master Jinshi who is powerless.

Although the accompanying congenital expert is sitting next to the Jinshi master, don't forget that there is also a congenital expert beside him.

Sure enough, seeing Pang Yu's movement, the innate master moved and stood in front of the messenger.

But the red-browed Dharma King of the Red Lotus Sect who came with Pang Yu also made a move, turned into an afterimage, rushed to the side of the innate master in Suicheng at a faster speed than Pang Yu, and struck out with one palm!
The red-browed Dharma King's palm was very strong, Suicheng Suixing was born not daring to take it forcefully, so he could only dodge it.

In this way, Pang Yu was given the opportunity to continue to "teach" the envoy of Sui City.

Of course, because both sides know the necessity of forming an alliance, even if they make a move, they are very restrained.

Pang Yu didn't really want to do anything to the envoy who was born as a Jinshi master, he just wanted to scare him.

However, even if the Xiantian accompanying Suicheng was forced away by the Red Eyebrow King, Pang Yu still failed.

When there was no time to spare, the Suicheng envoy was pulled behind with extremely light force like catkins!
