Wudang Xiaodao Boy

Chapter 265 Ending
"Alas! It's a pity that Wang Baobao and Yanyun Thirteen Cavalry escaped." Liu Bowen received another battle report, which reported the death of two hundred Southwestern Alliance soldiers.

Combined with the previous battle report, there was no trace of Wang Baobao in it, Liu Bowen quickly deduced that Wang Baobao and the others escaped from there.

"Wang Baobao's performance in this battle has already shown some signs of growing into a famous general. It is still a bit disadvantageous for us to have this person in the Yuan court!
Why don't you take advantage of the weak situation in the Ruyang Palace and inform Yan Qianxun to send some killers out..." Liu Bowen handed the battle report to Qingfeng, asking for his opinion.

"It doesn't matter. The Qi Xue army has been completely wiped out. How much trouble can a Wang Baobao make? And he may not be good for us after he goes back." Qingfeng took the battle report and glanced at it casually, then handed it over to Chen Youliang.

"Huh? What do you say?" Chen Youliang, who had received the battle report, didn't care much about the death of more than 200 people. As the commander-in-chief of one side, he was more concerned about how to better complete his own strategic deployment.

Qingfeng took a sip of wine and said, "Think about what will happen next if we capture or kill Wang Bao?"

Qingfeng saw that everyone was silent and was thinking about his own question, so he continued: "If we keep Wang Baobao and Yanyun Shisanqi here, then we will offend the court of Dayuan and Ruyang at the same time. Two major forces in the palace.

At that time, there was only King Ruyang who could fight in the Great Yuan Dynasty. At that time, even if Emperor Tieguo didn't want to, he would hand over the general power to King Ruyang again.

At that time, in order to avenge the complete annihilation of the cowardly Xue army by the Iron Pot Emperor, and in order to avenge the loss of the son of the Ruyang Palace, these two forces that dislike each other will unite for a short time to deal with us together.

However, a united and unanimous Great Yuan Dynasty is not what we want to see.Is it right? "

Everyone nodded together, and Qingfeng continued: "Now that Wang Baobao has run back with Yanyun Shisanqi, there are more maneuverability in it.

For example, Tuotuo, who is in charge, will ask, why did the Qixue army be wiped out by the Southwest League, but your Wang Baobao's people came back safe and sound?Did you secretly surrender to the Southwest League, and they put you back on purpose?Therefore, if you communicate with foreign countries, you should wear the hat of betraying Dayuan.

For example, the leader of XZ will ask, you Wang Baobao is a self-proclaimed general, and the strength of the leader must be very powerful, so why did it lead to the complete annihilation of the cowardly Xue army? Are you just like Zhao Kuo, only talking on paper?So you have to bear the scapegoat that led to the complete annihilation of the cowardly Xue army.

Another example is that after this battle, their iron pot emperor will still hand over the military power to the Ruyang Palace?You are a defeated general, what face do you have to command the three armies?Anyway, Yanyun Thirteen Cavalry is still there, isn't it the same for soldiers and horses in my world to teach them?
Don't you, Wang Baobao, want to rebuild the Qi Xue Army?Okay, you can train the recruits for me in the rear.The position of chief coach is quite suitable for you, you have to take this position. "

Listening to Qingfeng talking slowly there, Chen Youliang and others all gave a thumbs up and boasted: "If you want to say damage, it has to be you!"

Qingfeng gave everyone a big roll of his eyes. In fact, Qingfeng also had selfish intentions. Anyway, Wang Baobao was his brother-in-law. If he really wanted to kill him, Qingfeng was still a little bit reluctant. At the same time, he didn't know how to explain to Zhao Min.

So he changed the subject and said: "Okay, no matter what, this battle is over, and the result can be regarded as perfect, so there should be a summary, a review, and a credit.

The next step is to drive Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhang Shicheng's territory, let them go dog to dog, and at the same time stabilize the long sword defense line to prevent the Yuan army from counterattacking. "

"Okay, you don't need to worry about these things, we know it well." Chen Youliang waved his hand to Qingfeng impatiently and said.

"Hey! You guys can do it. If you cross the river, you will demolish the bridge, if you unload the mill, you will kill the donkey, and after you read the scriptures, you will beat the Taoist priest. Okay, I don't care, let you go. I'm going back to Xiangyang to drink." Qingfeng saw Liu Bowen, Chen Youliang and others already have detailed plans for the following things, and they are happy to be the shopkeepers.

With a wave of his big sleeve, he went back to Xiangyang City to drink.

……

The Qixue army was completely wiped out, and the coach Polo Timur was killed on the spot. Wang Baobao and Yanyun Thirteen Cavalry rushed out of the heavy encirclement of the Southwest League.

This series of news, under the vigorous publicity of Yan Qianxun's intelligence department, quickly spread throughout the territory of Dayuan.

The whole country was in an uproar, amazed at the strength of the Southwest League, no one in the world can match it, the Southwest League can be said to be a blockbuster if it doesn't make a sound.

With the defeat of the Qixue army, there were no Mongol forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were only three Han forces in the entire Jiangnan area, which were confronting each other.

The biggest force, of course, is the Southwest League. Over the years, the Southwest League has developed steadily and has a profound foundation. After the first battle, it shocked the world. Since then, it has become the main force against the Yuan Dynasty among the Han people in the world. .

The second force that is much inferior to the Southwest League is Zhang Shicheng who is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Shicheng, originally from Baijuchangting, Taizhou, was originally named Jiusi.At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were separatist forces in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the government was corrupt and the financial revenue was beyond the means.In order to fill the ever-expanding government and military expenditures, the rulers issued a large amount of salt and continuously raised the price of salt. The salt industry became the most important source of income for the state's finances.

Although the price of salt continues to increase, the salt people in the southeast coast still have nothing to live for.Taizhou is located on the southeast coast. Every midsummer, it will be hit by typhoons and the tide will flow backward.

When the sea water receded, thousands of hectares of fertile land turned into saline-alkali land, and the local farmers suffered terribly.

In order to support his family, Zhang Shicheng has been with his fellow villagers since he was ten years old, "boating and transporting salt" on the official salt boat in Baijuchang, relying on the meager income he earned from hard labor to subsidize his family.

When he was a teenager, Zhang Shicheng "had little physical strength, and he was a hero." Not only was he physically strong, but he also donated money to others. Although his family was often too poor to let go, whenever the villagers encountered difficulties, he was always generous and responsive.

Gradually, Zhang Shicheng established a high prestige among the local salt people.

Due to the meager income from transporting salt to the official family, Zhang Shicheng and a few brave fellow villagers started a business of selling private salt.

While transporting salt to the government, they also brought some private salt with them and sold it to wealthy local households.The wealthy households in Baijuchang often threatened to report to the government. Not only did they not give Zhang Shicheng money, but they beat and scolded him.

Due to their low status and the fact that smuggling salt is illegal, Zhang Shicheng and others had to swallow their anger. [7] There is a local salt policeman named Qiu Yi in Baijuchang, who is responsible for supervising the work of salt workers and arresting smugglers.

This Qiu Yi not only often withholds the labor income of the salt people in Baiju Farm, but also the salt people pay tribute to him every month, and whenever he makes omissions, he beats and scolds the salt people.Zhang Shicheng and the Yan people were frightened by his lust, so they could only hold back their breath.

In the first month of the 13th year of Yuan Shundi Zhizheng, Zhang Shicheng secretly contacted seventeen brave salt people including his three younger brothers and the strong man Li Bosheng, and actively prepared for an armed riot.

The matter is of great importance. In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, Zhang Shicheng and the others chose Caoyan Farm near Baiju Farm as the location of the uprising.

One night, eighteen blood-blooded saltmen made a blood alliance in the North Pole Hall in Caoyanchang. They picked up the poles used to pick up salt and sneaked into the house of salt policeman Qiu Yi in the cold wind. The bullies were beaten to death with sticks.

Afterwards, [-] people rushed into the home of the rich local family, opened the warehouse, distributed food and money to the local people, and then burned the house clean.

At that time, the salt workers who worked in the salt field felt that the work was too hard and tiring, so they jointly elected Zhang Shicheng as the leader and captured Taizhou.

Li Qi, the prefect of Gaoyou Mansion, recruited them, but they defected soon after, killed Zhao Lian, who was in charge of the province, and captured Xinghua at the same time, gathering more than 1 people in Desheng Lake.

The Yuan court sent people to recruit them with a letter of appointment from "Wanhu". Zhang Shicheng thought the official was too small and refused to accept it.He killed Li Qi by deception, took Gaoyou in a sneak attack, and claimed to be "King Cheng", with the country name "Da Zhou" and the year name "Tianyou".

Afterwards, taking advantage of the fact that Dayuan's troops were busy dealing with the Mingjiaoyi army and had no time to deal with him, Zhang Shicheng gradually grew bigger and unexpectedly occupied Jinling. The capital, recruiting wise men from all over the world to resist the Yuan Dynasty together.

And the last force is Mingjiao's rebel army, the strongest of these rebels is Zhu Yuanzhang, almost all other rebels have been subdued by Qi Xuejun, and Zhu Yuanzhang has also lost his temper by the Southwest League at this time.

Originally, I wanted to protest to the Southwest League through Ming Jiaojiao's advocacy of Wuji.

But when they sent someone to inquire, Zhang Wuji actually didn't sit in the church, and presided over the plan to resist Yuan, and went overseas to find his adoptive father Xie Xun.

Moreover, with the help of the Southwest League, the news that Xie Xun was not dead also spread in the rivers and lakes, which made the martial arts people very angry.

Co-author, we were played by you Zhang Wuxia as a monkey, and Xie Xun did not die after a long time of trouble.

So these heroes went to Wudang, went to Wudang, and troubled Mingjiao.

This also caused the high-level figures of Mingjiao to be so busy and exhausted that they had no time to estimate Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he was in decline, and at the same time, it also strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to leave Mingjiao.

However, the Southwest League took advantage of this stage to aggressively attack the city, compressing Zhu Yuanzhang's living space, and drove Zhu Yuanzhang's power into Zhang Shicheng's sphere of influence intentionally or unintentionally.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to discuss peace talks with the people of the Southwest League because he was seriously injured after the battle with the Qi Xuejun, but the people of the Southwest League were just like this. It didn't slow down at all either.

Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's illness and take Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

In a fit of anger, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Southwest League a strong wall to clear the country, taking away everything that could be taken away, and destroying everything that could not be taken away.He took up all his belongings and defected to Zhang Shicheng.

For a while, after Zhang Shicheng took over the entire population and army of Zhu Yuanzhang's forces, his strength soared, his ambitions were extremely inflated, and he recruited troops in his sphere of influence, preparing to fight with the Southwest League and the Great Yuan Dynasty.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country seems to have played a certain role, and the offensive of the Southwest League seems to have slowed down because of this.

When Zhang Shicheng reached the outskirts of his forces, the Southwest League seemed to be unable to move forward. It stopped advancing and began to convert strategic offense into strategic defense.

In fact, the Southwest League has its own plans, all of which were discussed in advance by Liu Bowen, Chen Youliang and others.

The Southwest League no longer took the opportunity to expand to the southeast, because at this time the Southwest League absorbed so many territories, it was already a bit difficult.After all, war is not about treating guests to dinner, and not just relying on soldiers to occupy the land. It also needs to send people to govern, develop the economy, and manage the people.

Although the Southwest Alliance has earned a lot of wealth by making war fortunes in the past few years, it is just a matter of investing the money in the transformation of the occupied areas, taking control of local power, stabilizing its ruling position, sending troops to deploy defenses, and so on. Some are stretched.

This series of actions involved most of the energy of the Southwest League, and there was no time to deal with Zhang Shicheng.

Therefore, after accepting these forces of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Southwest League began to stand still, slowly absorbing and digesting the fruits of the previous victory.

As a result, a strange balance appeared. The Southwest Alliance did not attack other forces, and other forces did not take the initiative to attack the Southwest Alliance.

Another period of peace has arrived, and all forces at this time have begun to immerse themselves in developing their own strengths, so as to reap more benefits in the next war.

……

As for the news that Qi Xuejun was wiped out by the Southwest League just now, he directly collapsed on the woman's belly, and no one knows whether he will be hardened in the future.

"The Cowardly Xue Army... The Cowardly Xue Army has been wiped out? The entire south of the Yangtze River has been lost? What should we do? What should we do?
What about Wang Baobao?He actually has the face to come back?Here we come!I want to chop him off and use his head to commemorate those dead soldiers! "

As he said that, Emperor Yuan Shun drew out his sword, watched and killed indiscriminately in his harem, shouting and screaming crazily, using such perverse behavior to cover up his inner fear.

Qingfeng was lying in his own small courtyard in Xiangyang City, listening to the reports from Yan Qianxun's subordinates, and asked, "Then, why didn't the Iron Pot Emperor kill Wang Baobao, instead he added officials to the entire Ruyang Palace?"
